EJ went to Rafe’s house to see Ava. He offered to be her attorney because she helped Kristen escape. She denied helping Kristen, but EJ didn’t believe her. He said he had eyes and ears everywhere. He said he knew what she did. She asked what he was going to do about what he knew. He said he wasn’t going to tell Rafe because he knew Rafe would rush to go after Nicole. He said he wasn’t going to let that happen. She told EJ that Rafe and Nicole’s attraction was in the past. She asked why he thought Rafe would go after Nicole. He thought about Nicole telling him that she had sex with Rafe. He told Ava that their attraction was obvious. She wanted to know what was in it for him to help her. He said Nicole was helping him move on and their relationship was turning into something real.

Xander went to the Salem Inn. He told Gwen that Rafe suspected he helped Kristen escape. He said he wondered who helped her escape. He said Gwen was with Kristen at the same time. Gwen changed the subject. Xander and Gwen talked about dining and dashing. She said she didn’t want to do that. He said he wondered if the bad girl he fell for was gone. She said she thought he liked good girls. He wanted to know if she was talking about Sarah. Gwen said she wasn’t jealous of Sarah. She said she knew Sarah hurt him. He said Sarah was the past. He said he didn’t care why Sarah left. Gabi told Victor she would give him Gabi Chic if he made her and Jake co-CEOs. She said she would do everything she did for Gabi Chic for Titan. He said the idea was tempting, but only idiots would offer him something like Gabi Chic.

Victor decided to take Gabi’s deal. Jake hesitated. He didn’t want to give up Gabi Chic so easily. Victor said he was an idiot. He told them to leave. Jake wanted to make him a board member. He said if that didn’t happen, he could turn them down. Victor said if they couldn’t get him on board, they would finish the conversation. When Gabi and Jake left, Victor said he couldn’t believe how easy it was to manipulate them. When Gabi and Jake went home, she said they had to decide who would run Titan. She said co-CEOs was the best idea. Jake said when the plan came to fruition; she would run Titan while he would run DiMera. Abby told Chad that Kristen escaped.

Update written by Joseph

Belle goes to the police station and tells Shawn that she got his message, so she asks if there’s news about Marlena. Shawn wishes there was. Belle asks what was so urgent then. Shawn informs her that it’s Brady.

Brady wakes up in his hospital bed with Chloe at his side. Chloe asks how he’s feeling. Brady responds that he has a headache and says if he didn’t know better, he’d think he had a hangover. Brady asks why he’s in the hospital. Chloe hoped he could tell her.

Ava questions Rafe still not seeing her text and wonders where he is. Gabi walks in and asks if she lost her boyfriend, hoping that it’s for good.

Rafe and Nicole end up getting close and almost kiss when EJ walks up and questions what they have here. EJ asks what they are doing out in the cold. Nicole responds that they just ran in to each other. EJ points out that Nicole was invited, but Rafe was not. Rafe informs him that he invited himself for official police business. EJ asks what it’s regarding. Rafe is sure he’s heard that Kristen managed to escape custody again and since they are such a tight knit clan, he figured it’d be a good idea to interview the whole family. EJ says that Chad’s not available but Rafe informs him that he already spoke to Chad, who said he has no idea how Kristen pulled this off. Rafe asks if Kristen has any ideas. EJ thinks back to telling Ava that he knows she helped Kristen escape. Rafe tells EJ that he asked him a question.

Sami and Allie embrace as Lucas has brought Sami home. Allie thought Sami had just gone somewhere to get over everything with EJ but never thought she would’ve been kidnapped. Sami mentions hearing that she got a text that she just needed time. Allie says she should’ve known Sami wouldn’t go that long without calling. Sami asks if she missed her messing up her life. Allie feels so bad since Sami had to have been so scared. Sami says she was scared but realized they weren’t going to kill her so she just got mad. Allie is glad they didn’t hurt her. Sami hugs Allie and tells her that she loves her so much.

Ava remarks that it must take Gabi a lot of energy to be such a bitch all the time. Gabi figures if she keeps it up, Ava will get out. Ava assures she’s not going anywhere since Rafe knows Gabi is a liar. Ava warns Gabi to watch her mouth. Gabi responds that she’s not worried because it’s only a matter of time before Ava screws things up and cooks up another scheme with a bunch of lies. Gabi states that Rafe is sweet but he’s not stupid, so one day he’s going to dump her for good.

EJ assures Rafe that he had nothing to do with Kristen vanishing. Rafe notes that Kristen couldn’t have pulled it off by herself. EJ insists that for the sake of his company, he had to keep his distance. EJ says he’s sorry to disappoint, but his hands are clean. EJ guesses Kristen enlisted some other poor old soul. Rafe asks if he has any idea who. EJ says it’s Rafe’s job to figure that out and suggests he go do that. Rafe tells them to have a great night as he walks away. EJ then heads to the door and looks back as Nicole watches Rafe leave.

Tripp checks on Sami and notes her blood pressure is a little high but after what she’s been through, she’s in pretty good shape. Sami comments on Tripp sounding like a doctor. Tripp says he still has a long way to go. Allie says he is almost through with medical school. Lucas mentions Sami getting knocked down pretty hard and hitting her head but Sami insists that she’s fine. Tripp suggests Sami see a real doctor to get checked out. Lucas urges Sami to take it easy and be careful. Sami thanks Lucas for rescuing her and says he was a real hero. Allie remains bothered that they don’t know who the villain is. Sami assures that she wants to know too.

Chloe asks Brady what he last remembers. Brady recalls running in to her at the Pub as he was getting takeout for John. Brady asks if John is okay. Chloe assures that he’s fine and questions that being all that Brady remembers. Brady says everything is a blank. Chloe asks if he doesn’t know why he went down to the river. Brady questions that. Chloe reveals that she found him there lying on the ground. Brady asks what the hell happened to him and if he fell. Chloe says she doesn’t know but he was passed out and when he came to, he was really drunk.

Belle can’t believe it since Brady hasn’t slipped in ages. Shawn notes that his blood alcohol was 3 times the legal limit. Belle asks where he is now. Shawn says he’s in the hospital, flushing his system out. Belle doesn’t understand this at all. Shawn explains that Brady went to the Pub to get John some food and then he guesses the temptation was too strong. Belle complains that her family does not need this right now. Shawn says he’s sorry but that’s not everything. Shawn reveals that Chloe is the one who found him, passed out by the river, and he was covered in blood but it wasn’t his blood. Shawn informs Belle that the blood type matched Philip’s.

EJ tells Nicole that dinner will be ready in half an hour. EJ adds that Chad and Abigail have requested dinner in their suite, so it’s dinner for two unless Nicole would like to invite Rafe to join them. Nicole asks what he means. EJ says he could see that he interrupted something close between them if she would like to finish what she started. Nicole argues that it was all in his mind and they were talking about Kristen. Nicole then admits that they were having a moment. EJ asks if he should’ve stayed back and not made his presence known. Nicole jokes that wouldn’t be him. Nicole knows she has to forget about Rafe. EJ says it doesn’t seem like he wants that to happen since he’s always sniffing around. Nicole claims that’s not what he’s doing and that Rafe agrees they need to move on but it’s just a lot harder than they thought it would be. EJ suggests Rafe could put in a little more effort. Nicole asks if EJ is an expert on turning his feelings off for someone since he’s still pining for Sami. EJ says they have been over this. Nicole brings up that night that EJ thought Sami called and said he barely noticed her. EJ calls that nonsense. Nicole remarks that she might not be over Rafe, but EJ is definitely not over Sami.

Sami tells Allie that she never figured out who was in charge and only saw the two guards, Jason and Pete, but they weren’t the ones calling the shots. Lucas adds that Jason refused to give the name of his boss and then he escaped. Sami says she still has no clue what they wanted and that it wasn’t money. Tripp wonders if the boss is rich then. Sami thinks there was another motive and suggests revenge. Lucas notes that Sami has her share of enemies. Sami says that one person in particular comes to mind. Lucas asks who she is thinking of. Sami then declares that she knows who did this to her.

Brady doesn’t even remember thinking about picking up a drink, let alone doing it. Chloe asks how he got so wasted since they drew his blood and it explains why he can’t remember anything. Brady insists that she knows how long he’s been sober and asks why he would screw that up. Chloe goes over what he last remembers but John says he never came back with the food. Brady questions how he got down to the river if he was so black out drunk. Brady asks why he would even go there. Chloe explains that she and Philip went to check on their tree and found that somebody ripped the tree out of the ground and Brady’s watch was lying next to it with no sign of him. Chloe adds that she went looking for Brady but John told her that he never came back with food, so she went back to the river and found him unconscious on the ground and Philip was gone while there was a knife lying next to him. Brady questions where he got a knife. Chloe cries that he and the knife were covered in blood and it was the same blood type as Philip’s. Brady asks what Philip has to say about all this. Chloe then reveals that Philip is still missing. Brady guesses she thinks that he did something to Philip.

Belle questions Shawn saying that Brady got loaded and went after Philip with a knife. Belle asks why he would do that. Shawn doesn’t know as hasn’t gotten a statement from him yet but Chloe confirmed Brady being jealous of Philip. Shawn adds that nobody has been able to find Philip but there was a trail of blood leading to the river. Belle wonders if Philip got stabbed and then staggered in to the river. Belle states that Philip has to be okay.

Ava doesn’t think Gabi gets how deep Rafe’s feelings for her. Ava says she schemed with Philip to steal Gabi’s company but Rafe forgave her. Gabi argues that if they really pushed her out, she’d be on the street now. Ava adds that Rafe hates how Gabi treats her and knows that’s why she did what she did. Ava says she wouldn’t bank on her being the one that ends up on the street. Gabi calls her an ex-mafia princess who has no job, no home of her own, and can only make mediocre pasta. Ava warns that she’s also pretty good with a knife and reminds her of how Carmine ended up on the kitchen floor. Rafe then comes home and questions what’s going on.

EJ doesn’t know why Nicole insists on saying Sami has some hold on him when it’s simply not true. Nicole brings up when EJ thought Sami called him and says he kept checking his phone every 10 seconds. EJ claims it was for business as he was in the middle of important negotiations. Nicole jokes that he used to be a better liar than that. EJ doesn’t think she’s giving herself enough credit here. EJ asks why he’d be thinking about his soon to be ex-wife when there is a fascinating beautiful woman right in front of him. Nicole says she has her charms but she doesn’t know if anyone is charming enough to flush Sami out of his system. EJ calls that ridiculous. Nicole jokes that Marlena isn’t the only one that has to exorcise a demon. EJ suggests she help him with that. Nicole responds that she’s not a priest. EJ says he has faith in her abilities as they kiss.

Allie asks Sami to tell them who did this to her. Sami thought they would’ve figured out that it had to be Nicole. Lucas says no way. Sami insists that Nicole hates her for blowing up her marriage to Eric. Allie questions Nicole hiring someone to kidnap her. Sami feels it was payback. Allie continues questioning that. Sami brings up how Nicole stole her newborn child and giving her someone else’s. Tripp questions that happening. Allie insists that Nicole is different now. Tripp notes that Nicole does seem like a good person. Allie calls Nicole a wonderful mother to Holly, noting that if she had Sami kidnapped, she could go to prison. Lucas agrees and asks why she would risk that. Lucas reminds her that Nicole already got back at her by making sure EJ saw Kristen’s letter. Allie states that Sami and Nicole’s marriages are both over so they are even. Sami stops and questions who said her marriage is over.

After kissing Nicole, EJ says he feels liberated from his demons already. Nicole looks at EJ but imagines Rafe. EJ asks if something is wrong. Nicole says she’s fine and blames the martini she had. EJ says that dinner will fix that and asks if she’s ready to go to the dining room. Nicole responds that she actually has a better idea and suggests going to his bedroom. EJ asks if she’s sure. Nicole declares that she has to get Rafe out of her mind and asks if he feels used. EJ admits that he does, but in a good way. EJ promises to do his best to wipe Rafe from her consciousness as they then head upstairs together.

Lucas questions Sami not thinking her marriage is over when EJ made it perfectly clear he wants nothing to do with her. Sami argues that was three months ago and she told him that she was not giving up on them. Lucas reminds her that EJ kicked her out of the house. Sami says it’s not EJ’s house but Gabi’s and she was going to Rafe’s to ask Gabi about staying in the house but before she could, she was kidnapped. Sami says when she woke up, she was in the room where Lucas found her and she lost her chance to talk to EJ as well as the beautiful necklace he gave her. Sami declares that she’s back now and she’s not going to lose her husband too.

Gabi runs to Rafe and claims that Ava tried to stab her. Ava says she was just giving her a friendly reminder about pushing her buttons. Gabi says there was nothing friendly about that and wants Rafe to arrest Ava for trying to kill her. Ava argues that Gabi is up to her old tricks again. Rafe asks if Gabi is okay or if she’s bleeding. Gabi says that doesn’t mean anything. Rafe tells Gabi to just go to her room. Gabi questions Rafe taking Ava’s side. Rafe says he’s had a long night and asks her to just go. Gabi shouts that she’s going because Jake is waiting for her but tells Rafe not to come crying to her when Ava stabs him in the back. Gabi goes to her room and then Ava asks Rafe how his night was.

Chloe tells Brady that she has no idea what happened and was really hoping that Brady could tell her since Philip is still missing, making Brady the only one who knows anything. Brady says his mind is blank and he assumes that she tried to call Philip. Chloe confirms that and reveals Philip’s phone was in Brady’s coat pocket. Brady says that means he must have ran in to him at some point. Chloe adds that she and Shawn went through Philip’s phone but only found a bunch of texts from Brady. Brady asks what they said. Chloe asks where he keeps his phone. Brady says in his pants pocket so Chloe asks for permission to check his pockets which Brady allows. Chloe retrieves Brady’s phone and shows it to Brady. Brady tells Chloe that he did not send these messages. Chloe asks if he’s sure or if he just doesn’t remember.

Shawn shows Belle the print out of Philip’s text messages that came from Brady’s phone. Belle reads the messages and says that Brady would never say something like that. Shawn suggests Brady was really drunk. Belle argues that Brady may be in love with Chloe but he would never hurt Philip. Shawn then gets a call and informs Belle that forensics only found one set of prints on the knife and they are Brady’s.

Brady questions Chloe thinking that he got so drunk then found a knife, went to the river to tear up their tree and then sent threatening texts to Philip. Chloe says that’s what it looks like. Brady argues that it doesn’t make any sense. Brady says Chloe has never been as drunk as she says he was, but he has been and he wouldn’t be able to say his name, much less send threatening texts and then make good on the threat. Chloe mentions that Shawn thought maybe he went to the river to find her and Philip. Brady questions how he would’ve known they would be at the river because last Chloe told him, she was going back to the Kiriakis Mansion to have dinner with Philip. Chloe doesn’t know how to explain it but he was there with a knife. Brady argues that the knife was just next to him. Chloe reveals that they found a trail of blood leading to the river and now Shawn has men dragging the river for a body. Brady asks if Shawn thinks Philip is dead.

Belle gets how bad it looks but says there has to be another explanation since there are no witnesses, all evidence is circumstantial and he doesn’t have Brady’s statement yet. Shawn says he’s just saying it looks really bad. Belle asks if he knows for sure that the blood was Philip’s. Shawn says they are working on it so Belle argues that he doesn’t know. Shawn says it doesn’t make anything better for Brady. Belle argues that he doesn’t have a case. Shawn admits he’d be happer with a DNA sample from Philip and was going to get a warrant to search his room for something to test but he didn’t want to upset Victor if he didn’t have to. Belle responds that he doesn’t have to because she knows a much faster way to get Philip’s DNA.

Ava gives Rafe the burger that he didn’t get a chance to eat earlier. Ava asks Rafe if Xander knew anything about how Kristen escaped. Rafe tells her that Xander said he hates her and wouldn’t lift a finger to help her, but he doesn’t believe him. Ava asks if he’s been with Xander all night. Rafe informs her that he went from there to start questioning the DiMera family. Ava asks if he had any luck. Rafe says that Chad was the only one there and he had just found out that Kristen escaped. Ava guesses that’s what took Rafe so long to get home. Rafe then admits that when he was leaving, he ran in to Nicole.

EJ and Nicole continue kissing in EJ’s bedroom. He picks her up and carries her to the bed.

Sami thanks Lucas and says she better get going. Lucas asks where she’s going. Sami says she’s going to see EJ as he must be worried about her. Sami knows EJ was mad about what happened but that was three months ago and she’s been gone. Allie explains that EJ doesn’t know Sami was in danger and still thinks that she left on her own. Sami questions no one telling him that she was kidnapped. Lucas argues that they just found out this morning and didn’t have time to tell him because he was busy rescuing her. Sami questions Allie not calling EJ. Allie argues that Marlena is missing and John is in the hospital, so the only person she had to tell was Tripp since she has a lot on her plate right now. Sami decides maybe it’s for the best that she gets to tell EJ about her ordeal. Sami feels that EJ is going to be in shock. Lucas can’t believe that Sami is going to go crawling back to that bum and asks if she’s serious. Sami says she would appreciate if he didn’t talk about the man she loves like that. Lucas questions why she’s doing this when EJ treats her like dirt. Sami says she’s not blameless but there’s no time like the present to try to work things out. Lucas questions her putting herself right back in to a horrible situation and compares it to being held hostage. Sami acknowledges that he saved her and she was happy to see him but he’s being ridiculous. Lucas suggests she take a break from EJ, go to the hospital, and see if she can get a clean bill of health. Sami argues that she feels fine and Tripp agreed. Tripp clarifies that he didn’t see any signs of damage to her health but he meant that she should get a complete checkup. Sami accuses Lucas of using Tripp to further his agenda. Lucas wants to make sure she’s okay. Sami stops him and repeats that she’s fine. Sami thanks Lucas for everything, kisses him on the cheek, then declares that she’s going to see her husband to get her marriage back as she exits.

EJ and Nicole lay in bed together. Nicole brings up the first time they made love. EJ recalls it being during a blackout where they were stuck in an elevator at the Salem Inn. EJ says now here they are in each others’ arms again after all these years. EJ asks if it’s as good as she remembers. Nicole says it’s different somehow but good as they kiss. EJ asks if it was good enough to make her forget about Rafe.

Ava asks Rafe about running in to Nicole. Rafe explains that he was leaving the DiMera Mansion and then she showed up to have dinner with EJ. Ava asks what they talked about. Rafe thinks back to talking to Nicole about what happened between them. Rafe then claims he just updated Nicole about Kristen. Ava questions why. Rafe says that last time Kristen was here, she held Nicole and Holly hostage then impersonated her, so he was just reassuring her that it wouldn’t happen again. Rafe adds that then EJ showed up, so he started grilling him about what he knew. Ava asks what EJ said. Rafe says that EJ just said he was keeping his distance from Kristen, but he doesn’t believe him and thinks EJ is lying.

Belle tells Shawn that Philip’s DNA report is already in the hospital database from all of his paternity tests, so he just needs to call and see if it matches the blood on the knife. Shawn thanks Belle and goes to make that call. Belle wonders what Brady has done.

Chloe informs Brady that Shawn is now treating this as a homicide but he will keep an open mind. Brady worries that it’s no secret that he and Philip have been at each others’ throats lately. Chloe adds that there’s something else she didn’t tell him, but when she was with Brady and he finally came to, he looked at her and said “Screw Philip, he doesn’t deserve you.” Brady argues that he’s been saying stuff like that for weeks and it doesn’t mean he stabbed him. Brady insists that he wouldn’t hurt Philip because he’s family. Brady swears on his kids’ lives that he did not attack Philip and he would’ve remembered if he did. Chloe says it’s just Shawn’s theory right now. Brady doesn’t give a damn what Shawn thinks and only cares about what Chloe thinks. Brady asks if Chloe thinks he did something to Philip.

Shawn returns to Belle and confirms she was right that Philip’s DNA report was available, so all they had to do was compare the two and it’s a match that Philip’s blood is on the knife.

Allie hugs Lucas and calls him a hero for bringing Sami home. Lucas jokes that if he knew she’d go back to EJ, maybe he would’ve left her there.

Nicole jokes that she’s going to have to mull over whether sex with EJ was good enough to make her forget about Rafe. Nicole asks if he was able to forget about his passionate nights with Sami. EJ jokes that he doesn’t know anyone by that name. EJ and Nicole continue kissing in bed as Sami then opens the door and sees them.

Update written by Joseph

Chad and Abigail start to head upstairs together but are stopped when the doorbell rings. Chad answers the door to see Rafe. Chad asks what brings him by. Rafe responds that it’s police business.

Nicole finishes work at Basic Black then gets a call from EJ, asking if she is at home. Nicole tells him that she’s just leaving the office. EJ invites her over for a quick bite after a long day. Nicole agrees since she’s starving. EJ says he’ll see her soon and hangs up. EJ is outside of Rafe’s house and knocks on the door. Ava answers and tells him that Rafe’s not home, but EJ says he’s here to see her.

Allie finds Tripp at the hospital and informs him that Sami has been kidnapped.

Sami ties the guard Jason to a chair. Jason regains consciousness and complains of his head hurting. Sami admits to knocking him out with the tray and taking his phone. Jason warns her that the other guy Pete will be on his way. Sami says she’s not scared of them or their boss. Jason asks why Sami is still here. Sami informs him that the key broke in the lock so the door doesn’t open. Jason says she’s not going anywhere then. Sami responds that Lucas will find a way to open the door from the outside. Jason questions who Lucas is. Sami reveals that she managed to reach her ex-husband and Lucas is on his way to rescue her any minute.

Ava asks what possible reason EJ had to come to see her. EJ thought she might need an attorney since he had represented her in the past. Ava asks why she would need him now. EJ says it’s because she helped Kristen escape.

Rafe enters the DiMera Mansion to ask Chad questions about Kristen since she never made it to prison. Abigail says they heard on the news that her prison van crashed. Rafe says she was okay enough to get away but she hasn’t been caught yet. Abigail questions how Kristen manages to escape prison a third time. Rafe asks to speak with Chad alone but Chad says he and Abigail don’t keep secrets, so anything he has to ask him, he can ask in front of her. Rafe brings up that Chad was at the police station earlier which he confirms. Rafe notes that Chad spent a lot of time alone with Kristen in the interrogation room, so he asks what they were talking about. Chad tells Rafe that he gave her an update from her lawyer and told her she was going back to prison. Rafe points out that Kristen then didn’t go back to prison. Chad questions where he’s going with this. Rafe says that Kristen couldn’t have done this on her own, so she had to have an accomplice. Chad asks if he’s accusing him of helping his sister escape.

Ava steps outside and tells EJ that she has no idea what he’s talking about. EJ repeats that she helped Kristen escape. Ava questions how he would know what’s going on with Kristen since he refused to represent her. EJ says he has been watching Kristen closely and made it a point to have eyes and ears everywhere. EJ reveals that he knows Ava used her family connections to intimidate the guards who were escorting Kristen to prison in to letting her go. Ava argues that she left that life behind and finds this insulting. EJ says she can carry on as much as she’d like, but he knows what she did. Ava asks what EJ is going to do about it and if he’s going to turn her in.

Tripp questions Allie about Sami being kidnapped. Allie explains that the text she got from Sami’s number was from her kidnapper. Tripp asks how she knows this. Allie reveals that earlier today, Sami finally called and told her and Lucas that she’s been locked in a room for months but she has no idea who did it or why. Tripp asks where she’s being held. Allie says she didn’t know but it turned out to be a remote part of Wisconsin. Tripp asks if anyone called the police. Allie says no but Lucas went to get her, so she’s sure he will if he needs to. Tripp asks if she’s heard from Lucas. Allie says she hasn’t even though she’s called a bunch. Allie worries that Lucas should be there by now.

Jason tells Sami that Lucas should’ve been here by now, so maybe he got lost. Jason calls the place impossible to find. Sami suggests calling Lucas to give him exact directions but there’s no signal. Jason insists that Lucas isn’t coming and that he probably got frustrated and bailed. Jason argues that it doesn’t take 4 or 5 hours to get here from Salem. Jason suggests Pete probably saw Lucas and knocked him out or killed him. Sami argues that he’s just trying to scare her. Jason insists that Sami untie her because he won’t be able to help her with Pete, who will go straight to their boss. Sami tells him to shut up because she hears something. Jason insists that it’s Pete and she will be sorry that she didn’t cooperate when she had the chance. Lucas then arrives instead. Sami excitedly hugs him and tells him that she’s so glad it’s him.

Kate enters a hospital waiting room, finishing a call with Roman about trying to talk Rex in to staying in Salem. Kate hangs up and then finds Paulina in the room. Kate asks what she’s doing here and if she’s okay. Paulina says not really as she was visiting John and then ran in to Abe which did not go as well as she hoped. Kate assumes Abe is still angry at her for what happened at the wedding. Paulina informs Kate that Abe told her he could forgive her for holding the truth from him about Lani, but he doesn’t think he’ll be able to trust her again. Kate says she can’t blame him and doesn’t think she could trust her either.

Rafe tells Chad that he’s not accusing him of anything and he’s just wondering if maybe Kristen said something to him that would indicate she was planning to escape. Chad says it was the opposite. Chad tells Rafe that it crossed his mind that she might be thinking about running again so he asked her to assure him that she wouldn’t, which she did. Rafe asks if anything else happened. Chad tells him that Kristen asked him to get him a sandwich and while he was gone, she had taken his phone and when he came back, she was deleting the call log. Rafe asks if he has any idea who she called. Chad tells him that Kristen said she called Brady to talk to Rachel and thought he would answer if she called for Chad’s phone but he hung up on her. Rafe questions why Kristen would delete the call log if she was calling Brady. Chad admits that’s a good question. Rafe points out Kristen’s idea being to get her sandwich at the station cafeteria instead of somewhere he might need his jacket. Rafe declares that Kristen wasn’t hungry, she just needed to get rid of him so she could use his phone to call her accomplice.

Ava asks EJ if he’s going to rat her out to the cops. EJ asks if she’s admitting her guilt. Ava says she’s just curious to know what he plans to do with this absurd theory that she helped Kristen escape. EJ says it’s not a theory but a fact. EJ assures he has no intention of telling Rafe. Ava says that Rafe would laugh in his face. EJ disagrees. Ava asks what’s his reason. EJ responds that Kristen is his sister so he still loves her. Ava remarks that he wasn’t willing to risk bad PR. EJ says image matters when running his company but he still values his family. Ava points out that EJ didn’t value his family enough to help Kristen out when she needed him the most. EJ argues that he did by hiring a top notch lawyer but he couldn’t convince the judge to keep her out of prison. EJ declares that going to prison is not an option because Kristen wouldn’t survive, so he would do everything in his power to keep her out. Ava asks if he’s doing this to save Kristen’s life. EJ adds that he also owes her because in a way, she saved his life or at least leading a life of a clueless cuckold. Ava realizes this is about Sami. EJ confirms that Kristen is the one who told him that Sami was cheating on him with Lucas and if she didn’t, he would’ve continued believing Sami’s lies forever. EJ states that he is instead rid of that whore once and for all. Ava asks if he’s really happy about that. EJ says that as far as he’s concerned, Lucas can have her where ever she is.

Sami tells Lucas that she’s never been so happy to see someone in her life. Lucas asks if she’s okay or if they hurt her. Sami tells him that she’s fine. Lucas talks about the place being in the middle of nowhere. Sami says all that matters is that he’s here now. Lucas asks if Jason is the one who kidnapped her. Sami says he’s just one of the guards. Sami asks Jason where Pete is, since Jason said Pete was going to find Lucas and kill him. Sami tells Lucas that she has no idea who did this to her. Jason laughs at them. Lucas questions Jason as to who he works for. Sami says she’s been asking every day for 3 months but he wouldn’t tell her anything. Lucas grabs Jason and warns that he’s sure as hell going to tell him. Lucas questions who would kidnap Sami and what they want with her. Sami tells him not to bother as Jason won’t tell them anything. Lucas tells Jason that he’s going down for this. Jason says they will see and that he’ll get a good lawyer. Sami argues that this would go better for him if he just cooperated. Lucas asks if Jason really wants to go to jail over this. Lucas says his boss needs to pay for this and they can make that happen while protecting him. Jason doesn’t believe him and argues that they will turn him over to the cops after he talks. Sami swears they won’t if he helps her and she won’t press charges. Sami pleads with Jason to tell them who he’s working for.

EJ tells Ava that Sami is gone and he has Kristen to thank. Ava believes he’s grateful to Kristen but it still doesn’t explain why he’s not reporting her to Rafe. EJ says if he was to expose Ava’s collaboration with Kristen, Rafe would dump her so fast her head would spin and then he would go straight to Nicole which he is not going to let happen.

Rafe asks Chad about getting the answers from his phone. Chad reminds him that Kristen deleted the call log. Rafe is pretty sure his IT guys can retrieve them and threatens getting a court order. Chad says he won’t need to and hands over his phone. Rafe thanks him for cooperating. Chad adds that for what it’s worth, he’s not protecting Kristen. Chad says that Kristen is his sister and he loves her, but she hurt a lot of people he cares about. Rafe says he’ll be in touch and exits. Rafe pulls out his phone and texts Ava that he’s on his way home and will be there in a few. Rafe goes to walk away from the DiMera Mansion, but runs in to Nicole as she arrives.

Kate admits to Paulina that she was harsh and apologizes. Paulina remarks that maybe Kate’s never lied to keep from hurting someone or being too scared to lose them. Paulina talks about how it’s everything she feared as she’s lost Abe and Lani. Kate is not surprised since Lani just found out that she gave her away and kept the truth from her for so long. Kate questions why Paulina gave up her daughter.

Nicole questions what Rafe is doing at the DiMera Mansion. Rafe says he was just following up on Kristen’s disappearance. Nicole asks if he had any luck but Rafe says not yet. Nicole says she wouldn’t be surprised if the DiMera family circle the wagon to protect her. Nicole adds that it won’t last long because eventually, the DiMera luck always runs out, even for Stefano. Nicole asks if Rafe can tell her anything. Rafe says he’s just working overtime to track her down. Nicole hopes he does and that Kristen burns in Hell with the person that helped her. Rafe realizes that Nicole is also convinced that Kristen had an accomplice. Nicole declares that whoever helped Kristen is cold and heartless, so she hopes Rafe finds them and nails them to the wall.

Ava tells EJ that Rafe and Nicole are just friends. EJ says that’s only because he’s dating Ava but if that were to change, he would go running to Nicole. EJ asks if Ava is denying there’s an attraction between Rafe and Nicole. Ava admits there may have been briefly but they’ve talked about that and Rafe assured her that it’s all in the past. Ava asks why EJ is bringing it up. EJ thinks back to Nicole telling him that she had sex with Rafe.

Tripp goes home with Allie, who talks about how bizarre Sami’s kidnapping is since they made no demands and sent fake texts so they’d think she’s okay. Allie wonders who would do that. Tripp says he has one idea but it’s pretty out there. Allie says to tell her.

Sami asks Jason what it’s going to be. Jason says he’ll take his chances in court. Lucas says it’s his call and that they’ll take him to the local police department to turn him in. Lucas and Sami untie Jason and escort him out but Jason manages to shove Sami in to the wall, knocking her down. Lucas stops to check on Sami as Jason runs. Sami tells Lucas to go get him and not let him get away.

Kate tells Paulina that she doesn’t have to answer as it’s none of her business. Paulina agrees but says she’ll answer any way. Paulina tells Kate that she gave her daughter to her sister because she wasn’t conceived in love and her biological father was a controlling, abusive addict. Paulina remarks that Kate doesn’t know what it feels like to be with a man like that but Kate responds that she knows exactly what it feels like. Paulina questions Kate knowing. Kate then reveals that she was married to one.

Allie questions Tripp thinking Marlena kidnapped Sami. Tripp points out that Marlena kidnapped John and held him prisoner so it’s not far fetched to think she’d take her daughter too. Allie argues that it wasn’t Marlena’s fault as she was possessed by the Devil. Tripp says maybe Sami knew that and was going to expose him. Allie stops and says she thought Tripp didn’t believe in demonic possession.

Lucas returns and informs Sami that Jason got away but says Sami is more important so he had to come back and check on her. Lucas tells Sami that they have to get her out of here and asks if she’s okay. Sami insists that she’s fine and wants to go before the boss shows up to come looking for them. Lucas wants to go to a local police station to tell them everything that happened to her. Sami says no. Lucas questions if she doesn’t want these guys to pay for what they did. Sami says she does but not right now as she just wants to go home first. Lucas then takes Sami and exits the building.

Abigail tells Chad that she can’t stop trying to figure out who Kristen called because after everything she’s done, it’s hard to believe anyone would help her. Chad wonders if maybe it was EJ. Abigail asks why he would help her when he wasn’t even willing to represent her. Chad points out that EJ wanted to maintain his shiny image but maybe he was cooking up a secret plan to help Kristen escape, yet he’s the one getting grilled by police. Chad calls EJ a total snake.

Ava tells EJ that she’s not interested in playing games, so if he has a reason to believe Rafe and Nicole have something going on, she wants him to spit it out. EJ thinks back to Nicole assuring him that it was all over with Rafe and that Ava couldn’t know what happened. EJ tells Ava that he thinks she knows the attraction between Rafe and Nicole is definitely not all in the past. Ava says that’s what Rafe told her. EJ asks what her eyes tell her when she’s around them. EJ asks if she sees two people who just want to be friends or that they work so hard to prove they don’t want each other making it that much more obvious that they do. EJ adds that neither of them want them to get together. Ava knows she doesn’t but asks what’s EJ’s excuse.

Rafe tells Nicole that’s why he’s at the DiMera Mansion so he asks what she’s doing here. Nicole responds that EJ invited her to dinner. Rafe notes that it’s kind of late. Nicole says she was still at work when he called and it was just a spur of the moment invitation. Rafe questions them still seeing each other. Nicole says obviously they are. Rafe asks if they are getting serious. Nicole says there’s no big commitment but it’s definitely going in that direction. Nicole questions why he’s grilling her about this. Rafe says he’s not but Nicole feels he is. Nicole tells him that things are good with EJ and are getting better. Nicole hopes things move forward so there won’t be any more confusion about her and Rafe. Nicole declares that if she’s in a relationship with EJ then they can put what happened in her office behind them once and for all. Rafe responds that he’s not sure he can do that.

Tripp tells Allie that what happened on Halloween changed his outlook. Allie agrees that seeing a person rise from the dead can have that effect. Tripp is still not entirely sure they saw Charlie but enough smart people that he respects swear that the Devil made Marlena do what she did. Allie asks if he’s not a skeptic anymore. Tripp says he’ll always be a skeptic but does believe some things may defy scientific explanation. Allie is impressed he could be so open minded but says there’s no way Marlena could’ve kidnapped Sami because her possession didn’t start until her appointment with Doug which was way after Sami disappeared. Tripp wonders who was it if not the Devil.

EJ knows Ava is aware that he and Nicole are seeing each other, reminding her of when they ran in to Ava and Rafe at Julie’s Place. Ava confirms that she is aware. EJ says he’s known Nicole for a very long time and he didn’t think she could still surprise him but she has. Ava doesn’t want to hear this. EJ explains that Nicole has been helping him move on after what happened with Sami and they are also building something real. EJ would like that to continue and he assumes for some reason that Ava wants that with Rafe. Ava assures that she is in love with Rafe. EJ tells Ava that if Rafe found out what she did, he would throw her over instantly for the woman he wants a future with. EJ declares that it’s in their best interests to keep Rafe in the dark. EJ tells Ava that they will keep her collaboration between her and Kristen to themselves. Ava agrees and asks why EJ came all the way over if he had no intention of ever saying anything. EJ responds that he just wanted her to know that nothing happens in this town without him knowing and says that’s something to be aware of. EJ tells her to have a good night and walks away.

Nicole reminds Rafe that they talked about this and he knows how she feels. Rafe knows she wants him to act like what happened in her office never happened. Rafe says he’s really trying. Rafe notes that he and Ava worked things out and are back together. Nicole says she’s glad to hear that but asks Rafe not to say anything else. Rafe says he’s trying to respect her wishes but he’s not going to pretend it’s easy. Rafe declares that making love to her was not a mistake because it felt so right. Nicole tells him to stop. Rafe assures that he won’t say anything to EJ, Ava, or anyone, but he will try to put the thought of being with her out of his mind. Nicole says that’s enough and that they agreed they need to forget about what happened and move on. Rafe knows that in his head but says it’s still in his heart. Rafe notes that saying it and doing it are two different things.

Kate tells Paulina about Curtis Reed beating her up and leaving her on the side of the road while she was pregnant because the baby she was carrying wasn’t his. Paulina guesses that’s her son Lucas which Kate confirms. Kate adds that Lucas had his struggles but he has a good and kind heart just like Lani. Kate talks about how Abe would tell everyone what an extraordinary young woman Lani is. Paulina wishes Lani wasn’t Ray’s but she is. Paulina worried that if Ray knew she was having his child, he would never let her go or take her away from her. Kate relates as that’s what Curtis did to her with her other kids, Austin and Billie, as he took them in the cruelest way and she didn’t see them again until they were adults. Paulina says she’s so sorry. Kate says she’s sorry for ever judging Paulina before she had the facts. Kate says she has a meeting and has to go but she’s so glad they talked. Kate wishes Paulina luck. Paulina thanks her and says she will need it as Kate then exits the room.

Abigail suggests to Chad they not spend any more time talking about EJ which Chad agrees with. Chad calls Harold to tell him they are having dinner in their room tonight. Chad then tells Abigail that dinner will arrive whenever they are ready as they kiss.

Ava heads back inside and reads Rafe’s text that he’s on his way home. Ava notes that Rafe sent that text a long time ago so she texts him back asking what happened to him.

Rafe tells Nicole that he knows she wants to put what happened behind them and there’s nothing more he wants than to give her what she wants. Rafe complains that he’s tried so hard to put it out of his mind but he doesn’t know if he can right now or ever. Rafe and Nicole end up getting close and almost kiss when EJ walks up and questions what they have here.

Allie thanks Tripp for being there. Tripp assures he will always be there for her. Allie decides to try to call Lucas again but there’s a knock at the door. Allie answers to see Lucas has brought Sami home. Sami cries as she and Allie embrace.

Chad: One second. Hey, rafe, what brings you by?

Rafe: Police business.

Nicole: And I’m out of here.

[Phone rings] Oh, ej. Hey.

Ej: Are you home?

Nicole: No, actually, I’m just leaving the office.

Ej: You’ve put in a long day. Why don’t you stop by my place for a quick bite? I’ll have cook whip up all your favorites.

Nicole: Sold, I’m starving.

Ej: Wonderful. See you soon.

Ava: Ej, if you’re here to see rafe, he’s not home.

Ej: Actually, ava, I’m here to see you.

Tri: Allie.

Allie: Tripp, thank god you’re finally here.

Tripp: Sorry, they just let me observe open-heart surgery. So what’s going on?

Allie: It’s my mom. She’s been kidnapped.

Jason: What the– you bitch! Oh, my head’s killing me.

Sami: Sorry about that, I had to hit you pretty hard with that tray. I took your phone, too.

Jason: You better untie me right now, all right?

Sami: No, I don’t think I’m gonna do that.

Jason: Listen, my shift is about to end and the other guard, pete, will lose his mind if he sees me like this. He will go tell the boss and then after that–

Sami: I’m not scared of pete. I’m not scared of you, and I’m not scared of your boss, whoever he is.

Jason: Or she.

Sami: You’re saying your boss is a woman?

Jason: I’m saying don’t assume. That makes an ass out of you and me, all right?

Sami: You are hilarious. Jason, when you get out of prison for holding me hostage, you should definitely go into standup comedy.

Jason: You knocked me out. You took my phone. Why are you still here?

Sami: Because–because the stupid key broke in the stupid lock, okay? So now the door doesn’t open. Yes, I took your keys, too. Sorry about that.

Jason: Well, if the lock’s busted you’re not going anywhere.

Sami: Lucas will find a way to open the door from the outside.

Jason: Lucas? Who’s lucas?

Sami: Oh, did I forget to mention that part? I managed to reach my ex-husband. Lucas is on his way here to rescue me any minute.

Male announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “days of our lives.”

[Soft orchestration]

Ava: What possible reason would you have to come see me?

Ej: Oh, I thought you might need an attorney.

Ava: An attorney?

Ej: Well, I have represented you in the past.

Ava: True, but why would I need you now?

Ej: Because you helped my sister escape.

Rafe: Can I come in? I need to ask you a few questions.

Chad: Yeah.

Rafe: Thank you.

Chad: Questions about what?

Rafe: Kristen. She was supposed to be transferred to statesville today. Never made it.

Abigail: Yeah, we heard. It’s all over the news. So the van she was in crashed?

Rafe: Apparently, she forced it off the road.

Chad: Is she okay?

Rafe: Okay enough to have gotten away.

Abigail: And she’s still not been caught?

Rafe: Well, we’re throwing every available resource at it, but no, not yet.

Abigail: Okay, so this is a woman who has escaped prison twice and has managed to yet do it again. I mean, how does that happen?

Rafe: Yeah. Can I talk to you alone for a minute?

Chad: Me and my wife don’t keep secrets. Anything you have to ask me, you can ask in front of abigail.

Rafe: Okay. You were at the police station earlier, correct?

Chad: Yeah, I saw you there.

Rafe: Yeah, I saw you too. You sure spent a lot of time alone with kristen in the interrogation room. What were you talking about?

Chad: [Chuckles] Um, I–I gave her an update from her lawyer and I told her that despite his best efforts, she was going back to prison.

Rafe: Mm-hmm, yeah, and yet she didn’t go back to prison.

Chad: Where are you going with this, rafe?

Rafe: Well, the thing is we know that kristen couldn’t have pulled this off on her own. She had to have had an accomplice.

Chad: Are you accusing me of helping my sister escape?

Ava: I have no idea what you’re talking about.

Ej: Oh, I think you do. You helped my sister escape.

Ava: How would you know what’s going on with kristen? I read you refused to represent her to protect your image.

Ej: While I’m in no position to help kristen publicly, I have been watching her very closely. I’ve made it a point to have eyes and ears everywhere.

Ava: Really?

Ej: Hmm. I know you used your family connections to intimidate the guards who were escorting her to statesville. You scared them into letting her go.

Ava: Hm. For your information, I’ve left that life behind. And I find it incredibly insulting that you would assume just because my last name is vitali–

Ej: Oh, you can act outraged. You can feign innocence. You can carry on as much as you like, but I know what you did.

Ava: So what you gonna do about it, counselor? Hmm? You gonna turn me in?

Ej: [Laughs] Hm.

Tripp: Your mom was kidnapped? From where?

Allie: Salem.

Tripp: I thought she left town months ago.

Allie: She did, but not by her own choice. I mean, someone took her against her will.

Tripp: Okay, wait, I’m confused. Didn’t she send you a text saying that she just needed some time to be alone to figure things out?

Allie: Yeah, but that wasn’t her. That was her kidnapper.

Tripp: Allie, how do you know all this?

Allie: ‘Cause earlier today my mom finally got her hands on a phone and she called me and I was with my dad at the time. She told us that she’s been locked in this tiny room for months.

Tripp: Oh, my god. Did she say who took her?

Allie: No, she has no idea who did it or why. I don’t know. The only people she’s interacted with are the guards, so I guess she knocked one out and took his phone.

Tripp: Where’s she being held?

Allie: She didn’t know, but we use the map feature on the phone, and turns out she’s in some remote part of wisconsin.

Tripp: Okay, did–did anyone call the police?

Allie: No, but my dad went and got her so I’m sure he will if he needs to.

Tripp: Okay, have you heard from him?

Allie: No, and I’ve called a bunch of times, but he’s not picking up.

Tripp: Well, he’s probably driving.

Allie: It’s been hours. I’m freaking out. I mean, he should be there by now.

Jason: Your ex should’ve been here by now. Maybe he got lost.

Sami: I sent him my location.

Jason: If you don’t know where this place is exactly at, it’s impossible to find, all right?

Sami: Okay, you know what? Then let’s call him then we can give him exact directions. How about that? That’s a good idea. Damn it, there’s no signal.

Jason: It doesn’t matter. I’m telling you he’s not coming. He probably got frustrated doing circles out there and then bailed out.

Sami: Lucas would never do that.

Jason: How long ago did you talk to him?

Sami: I don’t know, a few hours ago. Maybe four or five hours.

Jason: And he’s coming from salem, right?

Sami: What’s your point?

Jason: It doesn’t take that long to get here. Even if he did make it, he didn’t make it to you. Pete probably saw him sniffing around and knocked him out. Might have killed him for all we know.

Sami: Please, you’re just trying to scare me.

Jason: Sami, sami, I’m serious. You need to listen to me. You need to untie me, all right? Pete’s gonna walk through that door any minute and once he does, I won’t be able to help you.

Sami: Shh.

Jason: He’s gonna see what you did–

Sami: Shh, shut up.

Jason: And then he’s gonna go straight to the boss.

Sami: I said shut up. I think I hear something.

Jason: That’s pete.

Sami: Shut up.

Jason: You’re gonna be sorry you didn’t cooperate when you had a chance. I’m telling you.

Lucas: Sami!

Sami: Lucas! Oh, lucas! I’m so glad you’re here. Serena: It’s my 3:10

Kate: And roman, try to talk rex into staying in salem. Please. Okay, see you soon. Hey, what are you doing here? You okay?

Paulina: Not really. I was visiting john black, and i ran into abraham. It did not go as well as I had hoped.

Kate: Yeah, well, I assume that he’s still angry with you for what happened at the wedding.

Paulina: Not angry so much or not anymore. Actually, he told me that he could forgive me for what I did and for holding the truth from him about lani, but he doesn’t think that he’ll ever be able to trust me again.

Kate: Well, I can’t blame him, I don’t think I would trust you, either.

Rafe: I’m not accusing you of anything. I’m just wondering if maybe kristen said something to you that would indicate she was planning to escape.

Chad: No, the opposite.

Rafe: Meaning what?

Chad: You don’t think it crossed my mind that she might be thinking about running again?

Rafe: You tell me.

Chad: Yes, it did. In fact, I asked her to assure me that she wouldn’T.

Rafe: And?

Chad: And she said she wasn’t going to. She said that she was gonna work on her appeal from statesville.

Rafe: Okay. Anything else happen?

Chad: She asked me to get her a sandwich from the cafeteria at the station. And while I was gone, she took my phone out of my coat pocket. When I came back she was deleting the call log.

Rafe: Any idea who she called?

Chad: Brady. She said she wanted to talk to rachel. She was desperate to talk to rachel and she thought that he would answer if she called from my phone. And when he he heard her voice, he hung up.

Rafe: But if she were calling brady, why would she delete the call log?

Chad: It’s a good question.

Rafe: And whose idea was it to get the sandwich at the station cafeteria, as opposed to the bistro or the pub, somewhere you might need your jacket?

Chad: It was kristen’S.

Rafe: Yeah. She wasn’t hungry. She just needed to get rid of you so she could use your phone to call her accomplice.

Ava: So what you gonna do, huh? You gonna rat me out to the cops?

Ej: Is that an admission of guilt?

Ava: I’m just curious to know what you’re planning to do with this absurd theory that I helped kristen escape.

Ej: It’s not a theory, it’s a fact. But not to worry, I have no intention of telling rafe.

Ava: ‘Cause he’d laugh in your face.

Ej: [Laughs] Not likely.

Ava: So then what’s the reason?

Ej: Well, first of all, kristen is my sister. She has her faults but I still love her.

Ava: Yeah, just not enough to risk bad pr.

Ej: When you run a multi-billion-dollar corporation as opposed to, say, an organization of murderous thugs, yes, image matters. But don’t think for one moment because I value my company that had don’t also value my family.

Ava: Yeah, just not enough to help her out when she needed you most.

Ej: I did, I hired a top-notch lawyer for her. Unfortunately, due to her track record, even he couldn’t convince the judge to keep her out of prison. And going back there is simply not an option.

Ava: Why, ’cause she’s a dimera?

Ej: Because she wouldn’t survive. She’d wither and die if she had to go back to statesville therefore, I will do everything in my power to keep her out.

Ava: So you’re doing this to save her life?

Ej: That and I owe her.

Ava: For what?

Ej: In a way, she also saved my life, or at least saved me from living the life of a clueless cuckold.

Ava: Oh. [Laughs] This is about sami.

Ej: Kristen’s the one who told me that samantha was cheating on me with her ex-husband. Had she not, I would’ve continued believing samantha’s lies forever. Instead, I’m now rid of that duplicitous whore once and for all.

Ava: You really happy about that?

Ej: Why wouldn’t I be? As far as I’m concerned, lucas can have her, wherever she is.

Sami: Lucas, I’ve never been so happy to see someone in my entire life.

Lucas: Are you okay? Did they hurt you?

Sami: No, I’m–I’m fine. I was just worried you weren’t gonna be able to find me.

Lucas: Sorry, this place is just in the middle of nowhere. It took me a while.

Sami: It doesn’t matter, you’re here now. That’s all that matters.

Lucas: Is this the sob who kidnapped you?

Sami: He’s just one of the guards. His name is jason. I took his phone from him after I hit him on the head. Hey, so I thought you said your shift was up. Where’s pete, huh?

Lucas: Who’s pete?

Sami: One of the other guards. But jason was telling me that pete was gonna find you outside and kill you.

Lucas: What?

Sami: Yeah, what happened to that, huh? He told me that I better untie him before pete got here because then the two of them would have been really mad and they would tell their boss who apparently is super scary.

Lucas: Yeah, apparently.

Sami: I don’t know. Lucas, I have no idea who did this to me. I have no idea whatsoever.

Lucas: All right, all right. You think it’s funny?

Jason: Hmm.

Lucas: Who do you work for?

Sami: I’ve asked him that question every day for three months.

Lucas: Yeah, I just asked you the same question, jackass. Who do you work for?

Sami: He wouldn’t tell me anything.

Lucas: Yeah? Well, he sure as hell is gonna tell me. This is the sound of nature breathing.

Lucas: Answer me, answer me. Who is behind this? Who would kidnap sami, bring her in the middle of nowhere? What do they want with her?

Sami: Don’t bother, lucas. He’s not gonna tell us anything.

Lucas: You’re going down for this, you know that?

Jason: We’ll see.

Lucas: We’ll see? Really? Two eyewitnesses, multiple felonies. This is an airtight case, man.

Jason: I’ll get a good lawyer.

Sami: I know you think you’re doing the right thing by being loyal to your boss or whatever, but this’ll go so much better for you if you just cooperate with us.

Lucas: Yeah, you got no skin in this game. You’re just taking orders, right? You really wanna go to jail for something you don’t care about?

Sami: Jason, don’t throw your life away.

Lucas: Your boss needs to pay for this and we can make that happen. We can protect you, too.

Jason: You really think I’m stupid, huh? I talk, you turn on me. Both of you would turn me right over to the cops.

Sami: No, no, we won’T. I swear to you. If you help me I won’t press charges. I’ll help you get immunity. Just tell us who you’re working for, please.

Ej: Samantha is gone and I have my sister to thank.

Ava: I believe you’re grateful to her. Still doesn’t explain why you’re not reporting me to rafe.

Ej: I’ll put it this way. If I were to expose your collaboration with kristen, the commissioner would dump you so fast your head would spin.

Ava: And you care about that because?

Ej: Because the minute rafe hernandez found himself unattached, he’d make a beeline to nicole and I’m not going to let that happen.

Rafe: I think we could get the answers we need from your phone.

Chad: I already told you, kristen deleted the call log.

Rafe: Yeah, but I’m pretty sure my it guys can retrieve them. If I need to get a court order–

Chad: Why would you– no, you don’t have to get a court order. Here. The one person I need to talk to is right here.

Rafe: Okay, well, thank you for your cooperation.

Chad: Oh, hey, for what it’s worth, I’m not protecting kristen. She’s my sister and I love her, but she hurt a lot of people I care about.

Rafe: All right. I’ll be in touch. Have a great night.

Nicole: Oh, um–

cough cough sneeze sneeze…

Kate: Okay, that was harsh. Sorry.

Paulina: It sure as hell was. But–well, maybe you’ve never lied to keep from from hurting someone or– or because you were afraid to lose them.

Kate: Touché.

Paulina: Well, it’s– it’s everything I feared. It’s all coming to pass. I’ve lost abe. Lani, too. My own daughter, she wants nothing to do with me.

Kate: Maybe that’s not surprising. She just found out that you gave her away, that you’ve kept the truth from her for so long. Paulina, why did– why did you make that decision? Why did you give up your daughter?

Nicole: Um–what are you doing here?

Rafe: I was just following up on kristen’s disappearance.

Nicole: Oh, any luck?

Rafe: Not yet.

Nicole: Well, it wouldn’t surprise me one bit of this family circles the wagon to protect her. But you know what? It won’t last long ’cause eventually the dimera’s luck always runs out even for stefano. Hey, so can you tell me anything?

Rafe: Just working overtime to track her down.

Nicole: Well, I hope you do. And I hope she burns in hell and I hope the person who helped her does too.

Rafe: So you are convinced as I am that she had an accomplice.

Nicole: Yeah, of course, she did, and that person, that cold-blooded heartless person who helped aid and abet that psychotic bitch, I hope you find them and nail them to the wall.

Ava: Rafe and nicole are just friends.

Ej: Only because he’s dating you. But if that were to change.

Ava: What? You think you’d go running to her? Give me a break.

Ej: You’re denying there’s an attraction between them?

Ava: I mean, there may have been one briefly, but rafe and I talked about it. He assured me that it’s all in the past. So why are you bringing it up?

Ej: I’m sorry. Okay, I just don’t understand. I thought you resolved to stay away from him?

Nicole: I had. But I-I was at the office working that night. It’s really creepy being in the basic black building by myself and on halloween and I, uh, I– I thought I saw deimos kiriakis.

Ej: What?

Nicole: I mean it. I thought I saw him.

Ej: He’s dead.

Nicole: And so are you. Yet here you are with ice cream. Look I–I called rafe and–and he came over and he calmed me down and he was really sweet. And we– we had sex on the conference table.

Ej: Why, indeed.

Allie: This whole thing is just so bizarre. I mean they grabbed mom, keep her hold up someplace in wisconsin, but they make no demands and they send fake texts so we’d think she’s okay. I mean I don’t know anyone who would do that.

Tripp: I mean I have one idea but it’s–it’s pretty out there.

Allie: Tell me.

Sami: Clock’s ticking, jason, what’s it gonna be?

Jason: Nah, I’m gonna take my chances in court.

Lucas: All right your call. Just take him to the local police department and turn him in. I’ll untie the back, you get his legs. When we untie him, you grab one arm and you grab the other, okay?

Sami: Yeah.

Lucas: Watch him like a hawk.

Sami: Get up. You got him, right?

Lucas: Yeah. Come on. You’re making a huge–

Sami: Ahh!

Lucas: Sami! Sami, are you all right?

Sami: Yeah, go get him! Don’t let him get away!

[Hall & oates “you make my dreams” plays]

Kate: Never mind. You don’t have to answer that. It’s really none of my business.

Paulina: You’re right, it isn’T. But I’m gonna answer it anyway. I gave up my beautiful firstborn to my sister because she wasn’t conceived in love. Her biological father, he was a controlling, an abusive man–an addict. I was scared to death of him. You don’t know what it feels like to be with a man like that.

Kate: I do know what it feels like. I know exactly what it feels like, paulina.

Paulina: You know what it feels like to be with a controlling abusive man?

Kate: I was married to one.

Allie: You think my grandma marlena kidnapped my mom?

Tripp: She kidnapped her husband and held him prisoner. It’s really that far-fetched to think she’d take her daughter, too?

Allie: Okay, that wasn’t her fault. She was possessed by the devil.

Tripp: Exactly, so maybe your mom knew that and was going to expose him.

Allie: Wait a minute.

Tripp: What?

Allie: I thought you didn’t believe in demonic possession.

Sami: Where’s jason?

Lucas: He got away.

Sami: Damn it.

Lucas: Listen, I’m sorry. You’re more important to me. I had to come back for you to make sure you’re okay. We gotta get you out of here.

Sami: Yeah.

Lucas: Is your head okay?

Sami: Yeah.

Lucas: Are you dizzy?

Sami: No.

Lucas: Are you bleeding? Or anything?

Sami: I’m fine. I’m fine. Let’s just go before that boss shows up and comes looking for us.

Lucas: We’re gonna go to the local police station and tell them everything that happened to you. Come on.

Sami: No, lucas.

Lucas: What do you mean no? Don’t you want these guys to pay for what they did you?

Sami: Yes, of course I do but not right now, okay? We’ll call the police. We’ll do all of that, but first, it’s just, I just want to go home first, please.

Lucas: All right, home it is. Come on.

Abigail: I can’t stop trying to figure out who kristen called. After everything she’s done. It’s hard to believe anyone would help her.

Chad: Except ej. I mean just ’cause he did seem preoccupied at the meeting maybe it’s just–maybe it’s just his way of not giving anything away, right?

Abigail: Yeah, sure, but why would he help her? He wasn’t even willing to represent her?

Chad: I mean ’cause he didn’t want the bad press. He wanted to maintain his shiny image and dimera’s and–and you know behind the scenes maybe he was cooking up some secret plan to help kristen escape. And I’m the one getting grilled by police.

Abigail: It sucks.

Chad: Yeah. Ej is a total snake.

Ava: I’m not interested in playing games. So if you got some reason to believe that rafe and nicole have something going on, spit it out.

Ej: It’s all over with rafe? You’re sure?

Nicole: I’m sure. He is with ava, and she is my friend. And she can’t know what happened. So you need to keep your trap shut.

Ej: You’re a smart woman. I think you know the attraction between rafe and nicole is definitely not all in the past.

Ava: Well, that’s what rafe told me.

Ej: Hm. But what do your eyes tell you? When you’re around them do you see two people who just want to be friends? Or does the fact they work so damn hard to prove they don’t want each other that it’s just that much more obvious that they do? What’s also obvious is that neither of us want them to get together.

Ava: I know I don’T. What’s your excuse?

Rafe: So now you know why I’m here. What are you doing here?

Nicole: Well, ej invited me to dinner.

Rafe: Kinda late, no?

Nicole: Well, I was still at work when he called. So just the spur of the moment invitation.

Rafe: Right. So you two are still seeing each other?

Nicole: Uh, obviously.

Rafe: Yeah, right. Getting serious?

Nicole: Well, I mean, we haven’t you know, I mean, there’s–there’s no big commitment but it’s–it’s definitely going in that direction.

Rafe: Definitely.

Nicole: Why are you grilling me about this?

Rafe: I’m not. No.

Nicole: No, yes. You kinda are you. Look, rafe, the point is things are good with ej and they’re getting better and you know, quite frankly, you know, I hope that things move forward because then there won’t be any more–

Rafe: Any more what?

Nicole: Confusion.

Rafe: Confusion about what?

Nicole: You and me. I just figured that if now I’m in a committed relationship with ej, then we can finally put what happened in my office behind us once and for all.

Rafe: I’m not sure I can do that. My nunormal?

Tripp: Yeah, what happened on halloween, you know, kinda changed my outlook on certain phenomena.

Allie: Yeah, seeing a person arise from the day can have that effect.

Tripp: Still not entirely sure we saw charlie but enough people, smart people that I respect swear that the devil made marlena do what she did so.

Allie: So you’re not a skeptic anymore.

Tripp: Well, as a man of science, I will always be a skeptic, but I do believe that some things might defy scientific explanation.

Allie: Hmm, I’m impressed the doctor could be so open-minded.

Tripp: Well, am not a doctor yet.

Allie: Well, I’m impressed that top med student can be so open-minded. But the truth is there’s no way that my grandma could have kidnapped my mom.

Tripp: What makes you so sure?

Allie: Timing. The whole possession thing didn’t start until her appointment with doug. And that was way after my mom disappeared.

Tripp: There goes my theory. So if it wasn’t the devil then who was it?

Ej: I know you’re aware nicole and i are seeing each other. We ran into you that night at julie’s place when you were there with rafe. I gave you that–

Ava: The expensive bottle of wine. Yes, I remember and I’m also aware that you are dating nicole.

Ej: I’ve known her for a very long time. I didn’t think there was any way that she could still surprise me and yet she has. And each time it’s even more gratifying.

Ava: You know, I really don’t need to hear this.

Ej: What I mean is that she’s been helping me move on after what happened with samantha. We’re also building something, something real, and I would like that to continue. And I assume for god knows what reason you feel the same about rafe.

Ava: I am in love with him.

Ej: Hmm, but if he found out what you did, he would throw you over instantly for the woman I want a future with. Clearly, it’s in both our best interests to keep him in the dark. So we’ll keep this collaboration between you and my sister to ourselves.

Ava: What collaboration?

Ej: Exactly.

Ava: So if you had no intention of ever saying anything. Why’d you come all the way over here?

Ej: Oh, I just wanted you to know that nothing happens in this town without my knowing. Something to be aware of. Have a good night.

Nicole: Rafe, we talked about this. You–you know how I feel.

Rafe: I know–I know you–you want me to act like what we did in your office never happened. I’m trying, okay? I’m really trying, you know, to– you know, ava and I, we work things out. So yeah, we’re back together.

Nicole: I’m glad to hear it.

Rafe: Nicole.

Nicole: Please don’t say anything else, please.

Rafe: I’m trying to respect your wishes, okay, but just– I’m not gonna pretend that it’s easy, okay? Just like making love to you is not a mistake. It felt–it felt so right.

Nicole: Rafe, please stop.

Rafe: I’m not gonna say anything, okay? I’m not gonna say anything to ej or ava or anyone, okay? It’s just– all right, listen when–when I think about being with you, holding you, touching you, I’m just, I’m gonna–I’m gonna put it out of my mind, okay?

Nicole: Okay, that’s enough. Please, that’s enough. We settled this. We agreed that…

Rafe: I know.

Nicole: We need to forget about what happened and move on.

Rafe: I know we did, okay, and I know that. I know it in my head but it’s in my heart. I’m–I’m sorry. It’s just that saying it and doing it are two different things, okay? Doesn’t your family deserve the best?

Paulina: So this– this curtis reed guy, he– he beat you up and left you on the side of the road?

Kate: While I was pregnant because the baby I was carrying wasn’t his.

Paulina: And that–that baby that’s your son, lucas?

Kate: Yes, lucas. My son lucas. But you know he’s had his–he’s had his struggles. He has a good and he has a kind heart just like your daughter, lani. You know abe would tell anyone who would listen what an extraordinary young woman she is.

Paulina: She is that. Oh, how I wish she wasn’t ray’S. But she is–she is his. Way back when I was pregnant with her, I thought that if he knew that I was having his child, he’d never let me go, or worse that he would take her away from me.

Kate: Yes. Yes. That is exactly what curtis– that’s what he did to me. And not with lucas, with my–with my other kids, with austin and billie. He took them–he took them and he took ’em in the cruelest way. I didn’t see them again until they were adults.

Paulina: Well, kate, kate I’m so sorry.

Kate: No, I’m sorry. I’m sorry, I should never have judged you before I had the facts. Anyway, I have a meeting. I need to go. I’m so glad we talked. I wish you luck.

Paulina: Thank you. I’m gonna–I’m gonna need it.

Abigail: I have an idea. Let’s not spend any more time talking about ej.

Chad: I am totally on board with that. Harold, what’s up? Abby and I are gonna be taking dinner in our room tonight. Perfect. Thank you. Dinner will arrive whenever we’re ready. So I think– I think I’d like to spend our time… doing that. And this. And this.

Ava: “I’m on my way home, be there in a few.”

[Sighs] Rafe, you sent this a long time ago.

Rafe: Just hear me out. Listen, I understand I know that you want to put what happened behind us, I do. And there’s nothing more that I would want than to give what you want. I’m trying so damn hard to put it out of my mind and it’s just I don’t know if I can right now or maybe even ever.

Ej: Well, well, well. What have we here?

Allie: Thank you for being here.

Tripp: I’ll always be here for you, allie.

Allie: Okay, I’m gonna try my dad again.

Tripp: Okay.

[Knock at door]

Allie: Dad, I was just going to call you. Did you find her? Oh, my god, mom! Ohh!

Update written by Joseph

Roman and Kate dance together at the Brady Pub. Roman jokes about saying they are a classic. Kate says tonight is one for the books which Roman is very glad to hear. Roman and Kate’s son Rex then surprises them by entering the Pub, remarking that they are just full of surprises.

Gwen returns to her and Xander’s room at the Salem Inn. She calls out to Xander but he’s not home which she says is good because it gives her time to pull herself together. Gwen goes to the fridge and has a drink. Gwen tells herself to focus as she just helped a convicted felon and sociopath escape from prison, but it wasn’t her fault or her choice because if Xander found out about Sarah, he would’ve dumped her in a minute to go find her. Gwen declares that Kristen is the only one who knew about that and now she’s gone, so that means there is no way that Xander will find out.

Rex hugs Roman and Kate as they talk about how much they missed each other. Rex says he’s sorry to barge in as he thought maybe it was a private party and he had no idea what was going on. Kate praises Roman being romantic. Rex assures that he’s seriously impressed and happy that after all these years, Roman finally won Kate back.

Gabi and Jake tell Victor that they also have Gabi Chic to offer. Victor questions offering that for his entire company. Gabi points out that when she was working for Titan, Gabi Chic was it’s most profitable asset. Gabi asks why else Philip wanted to blackmail her out of it. Gabi argues that any conglomerate would be lucky to have her brand under their umbrella. Gabi declares that if Victor makes her and Jake the CEOs of Titan, then Gabi Chic is his and everything she’s done for her brand, she will do for Titan. Gabi asks Victor if they are in.

Shawn goes to the hospital and asks Chloe about Brady. Chloe says that Kayla is with him now and she thinks he’s going to be fine. Shawn asks if she minds if he talks to her. Chloe asks if he wants to talk to her or ask her questions. Shawn admits it’s a little bit of both. Shawn tells Chloe that John called, asking if they’ve found Marlena, and he was worried about Brady not bringing the takeout food that he left for. Shawn mentions getting the call that Brady was on his way in an ambulance, so he decided to check out the crime scene. Shawn reveals the knife he found at the river bank and explains that it was the weapon of choice of Devil Marlena. Shawn thinks John may be onto something and that Marlena might be related to it all. Chloe responds that she’s sorry but she doesn’t think Marlena has anything to do with this.

Gabi tells Victor that they will bring Gabi Chic to Titan and it will once again be their most profitable division. Jake says in return, he makes them co-CEOs. Victor admits it sounds tempting with a lot of positives but there are a few negatives, such as the fact that Victor thinks they are both idiots.

Rex tells Kate and Roman that he’s sorry for being out of touch as things have been intense. Rex doesn’t want to talk about himself and asks how long Roman and Kate have been going on. Roman says not long and that Rex is the only one who knows, so he has to keep it to himself. Kate explains that they aren’t announcing it until Christmas. Rex is sure everyone will be happy for them, especially after the fiasco with Jake. Kate says it’s nice to have her guys on her side. Rex assures Kate that she has traded up with Roman. Rex remarks that Jake deserves Gabi because every guy that’s hooked up with her, it hasn’t ended up well for them.

Gabi argues that Gabi Chic’s numbers are through the roof and an idiot couldn’t do that. Victor asks how long they have been here since it seems like it’s been days. Victor says they know how he feels about them but they offer him Gabi Chic as the big plum. Victor argues that only an idiot would offer him chump change like that. Jake asks what about DiMera Enterprises.

Chad enters the living room of the DiMera Mansion, tosses his briefcase aside and has a drink. Abigail is seated in the room and asks if he had a tough day at work. Chad says you could say that. Abigail asks if that’s why he didn’t return any of her calls. Chad apologizes and says he had back to back meetings then figured he’d just come home to talk to her in person. Chad asks if it was urgent. Abigail says no but it’s kind of a family matter. Chad argues that his family is either still at the office or in prison. Abigail then informs Chad that Kristen escaped. Chad comments on it shaking your faith in the Salem police department.

Xander comes home to the Salem Inn. Gwen is relieved as she was about to back to the police station, complaining about Rafe taking him in. Xander assures that Rafe was wrong and if Gwen is with him, she’s going to have to get used to seeing the cops haul him in which Gwen finds unfair. Xander admits he was at Kristen’s call for a long time and he was in the interrogation room right before they hauled her to the van, so of course Rafe thought he helped her. Xander remarks that he’s one of the few people left that would help Kristen and that she couldn’t have pulled this off by herself so she had to have help, but everyone in the town hates her guts, so he wonders who the hell did help her.

Shawn reminds Chloe that Marlena had a knife but Chloe insists that she doesn’t think this has to do with Marlena or the Devil. Chloe reveals that she saw the knife on the ground and Brady was covered in blood, so she assumed it was his but then Kayla examined him and he had no stab wounds, just a bump on his head and that the blood didn’t belong to him. Shawn asks if she knows whose it is. Chloe informs him that she thinks it could be Philip’s.

Victor questions Jake offering DiMera Enterprises and says that cinches the deal. Jake points out that they can’t just do that. Victor questions why not since Jake does own it and he wouldn’t give something that doesn’t belong to him. Victor says people who can’t deliver are called idiots. Jake says he may not own DiMera but he knows how he can get it. Victor argues that he couldn’t get the votes to keep it when he had it, so he sure as hell isn’t going to pry it from EJ DiMera because EJ knows what he’s doing. Victor suggests it’s time for Gabi and Jake to leave.

Chloe informs Shawn that the blood on Brady was O positive and recalls a blood drive she ran in high school, so she remembered Philip’s type. Shawn argues that O positive is the most common type so he asks what makes her think the blood on Brady was Philip’s. Chloe explains that she and Philip went down to the river bank to check on their tree because they planted a new one there recently, but when they got there, someone had ripped the tree out of the ground and Philip was insistent that Brady had done it and was furious about it. Shawn notes that Belle told him they had been intense. Chloe says she had made it very clear that she’s with Philip but that didn’t do a lot of good.

Rex toasts to Roman and Kate, hoping they have lots of fun as they deserve it. Roman jokes about how they are going to tour the national parks. Kate gives her idea and tells them that they can go fishing while she and Sarah go shopping. Rex questions bringing up Sarah. Kate assumed Sarah came back with him and asks if she’s visiting her mom, but Rex doesn’t know what she’s talking about.

Xander tells Gwen that one of the reasons Rafe dragged him to the station was because he was in the interrogation room talking to Kristen, right before they brought her to the van. Gwen calls that a flimsy reason. Xander points out that is when Gwen showed up too. Gwen reminds him that she told him that was because she saw his car outside and thought he was in trouble. Xander calls it suspicious timing and jokes that she could’ve been slipping Kristen secret messages. Gwen wants to stop talking about Kristen. Xander says he just thought it was funny and asks why Gwen would help Kristen when she doesn’t even know her. Gwen asks if Xander is hungry and suggests they go to Julie’s Place for dinner like they planned. Xander says maybe they shouldn’t go somewhere where they might be tempted to dine and dash. Xander reminds Gwen that she said they shouldn’t be committing any more crimes. Xander wonders if the bad girl he fell for has gone good. Gwen thought he liked good girls. Xander asks if they are talking about her or Sarah.

Chad wonders how many people across Salem see the headline of Kristen escaping prison and wonder if they’ve gone back in time. Abigail says it’s getting hard to put a fresh spin on that. Chad says what’s weird is the last time he saw Kristen, she actually seemed defeated, like she knew there wasn’t a way out but he thinks she was conning him. Chad wonders if there was already some kind of plan or if she improvised this whole thing in the van. Abigail thinks there had to have been some kind of plan as she doesn’t see how Kristen could’ve pulled it off alone. Abigail adds that after everything Kristen’s done, she doesn’t know who in their right mind would be willing to help her.

Chloe tells Shawn about running in to Brady outside the Pub and that he was getting takeout for John so she assumed he was on his way to the hospital, so when Philip said he thought Brady pulled the tree out, she came to ask Brady about it but John said he never came with the food, so maybe Philip was right. Shawn asks if Brady said anything about Philip or if he seemed upset. Chloe admits he talked about Philip but wasn’t angry and was kind of gloating because Victor fired Philip again. Chloe says maybe that’s what Brady was celebrating which Shawn questions. Chloe reveals that Kayla said Brady’s blood alcohol level was three times the legal limit, so he must have ordered more than just clam chowder. Shawn asks if he seemed sober going in to the Pub. Chloe confirms he did not seem drunk to her, but the next time she saw him, he was lying unconscious and covered in blood. Shawn asks if she knows where Philip is, but Chloe says she has no idea.

Chad tells Abigail that it seems to him that EJ is the most likely person to have helped Kristen escape, but he was at the office all day and didn’t seem preoccupied. Abigail mentions that their sources said Xander was brought in for questioning, but he was released. Chad decides he doesn’t care who helped her or why they did it, he wishes Kristen well and hopes she learned her lesson and stays the hell away from Salem. Abigail says Kristen always comes back. Chad asks how Abigail’s day was and if she knows her lines yet. Abigail feels like it’s kind of a waste of time since Johnny is in Italy and there’s an APB out on Marlena so the “Possessed: The Marlena Evans Story” might be in turnaround. Chad says he’s sorry as he knows how much she was looking forward to it. Abigail jokes that he’s disappointed she won’t have love scenes with EJ. Chad responds that he has plenty of reasons to hate EJ’s guts.

Gabi shows Victor her tablet with Titan’s stock and says it reflects that Titan is a corporate dinosaur run by an old man, who just fired another inept relative he had installed as CEO. Gabi thinks Victor has a sinking ship and that insulting anybody who comes to him with a company that actually makes money is idiotic. Jake reminds Victor that he offered him DiMera Enterprises because they can deliver. Jake says EJ may know what he’s doing but he has the entire family at each others’ throats. Jake states that he and Gabi still have enough shares to call a meeting so he suggests they put it on a time table. Jake tells Victor not to just flat out turn them down and not to be an idiot.

Rex questions why Sarah would be with him. Kate asks why she wouldn’t be since they left together. Rex then reveals they did not and says that’s one of the reasons he didn’t call, was because he was embarrassed and he hoped Maggie would tell them so they could pretend the whole thing never happened. Roman questions what never happened. Rex explains that at the last possible second when he was going to leave town with “Sarah”, she got cold feet, said she didn’t want to be in a relationship and needed to find herself. Kate jokes that she hopes Sarah finds herself in outer Mongolia. Rex thought she gave her blessing. Kate says she did because she couldn’t do anything about it, but she’s thrilled that Rex is finally through with Sarah. Rex asks her not to talk about her that way. Kate questions not being upset when Sarah screwed him over like that. Roman doesn’t get it and asks if Sarah didn’t go with him, then where the hell did she go. Rex responds that he has no idea.

Gwen tells Xander that she’s sorry as she didn’t mean to bring up Sarah. Xander says he was talking to Kristen about her, so he’d understand if she was a little jealous. Gwen argues that she’s not jealous, just protective, because she knows how much Sarah hurt him. Xander says Gwen was right when she said that Sarah is his past while Gwen is his present and future. Xander doesn’t give a damn why Sarah left him for Rex as that’s her loss and Gwen’s gain. Xander and Gwen then kiss. Gwen thinks back to telling herself that she had no choice because if Xander found out the truth, he would dump her to go find Sarah.

Rex explains to Kate and Roman that he tried to call Sarah a few times but the cell reception was unreliable and he figured if she wanted to find him, she would have. Roman doesn’t get it as it’s not just them, but all of Salem believes they were together. Kate knows that Xander does. Rex thinks Sarah would have told Xander but Kate guesses not. Rex feels it would be easier on Xander to know. Kate informs Rex that Xander has apparently moved on with Jack’s long lost daughter, Gwen, who has her own share of issues. Rex accuses Kate of judging again. Kate calls Xander and Gwen a match made in heaven.

Gwen suggests to Xander that they go to the Brady Pub then. Xander says whatever as he’s starving. Gwen notices a stain on Xander’s shirt, which he notes came from a cop bumping in to him at the police station. Gwen offers to wash it when they get back. Gwen says she will go ahead and get them a table at the Pub. Xander notes that he’s glad he talked to Kristen as he doesn’t know what he expected to find out because he doesn’t care why Sarah went with Rex or where they went. Xander declares that Gwen is here now, so Sarah could be on the moon for all he cares.

Chad tells Abigail about how EJ started making demands in front of the whole board. Abigail asks if they fought. Chad informs her that Mr. Shin called in security to separate them because otherwise, he was going to smash EJ.

Gabi asks Victor to at least think about it. Jake states that EJ is very smart but people loathe him like Chad, Tony, and even Johnny. Victor remarks that it would be fun to watch Stefano’s family self-destruct. Gabi tells Victor that he needs to be thinking about Titan and how it’s time for new blood, especially now that he’s given Philip the axe.

Shawn tells Chloe that it’s possible that Brady went on a bender, had a confrontation with Philip, and stabbed him. Chloe doesn’t see Brady doing that and wonders why he would attack Philip, even if he was drunk. Shawn goes over not knowing where Philip is. Chloe then reveals to Shawn that she tried to call Philip, but his phone rang from Brady’s coat pocket. Shawn then looks through Philip’s phone and finds a series of threatening texts from Brady. Chloe asks what they say. Shawn responds that they keep getting more and more threatening. Shawn says the last one is the worst and shows it to Chloe. Chloe reads it, which is from Brady to Philip, saying he doesn’t deserve to be with Chloe and if he doesn’t cut himself out of her life, he’ll have no choice but to cut him out, himself.

Abigail reminds Chad to be careful with EJ. Chad knows not to turn his back or he’ll end up with a knife in it. Chad adds that he closed the deal he was working on which was good for the company. Abigail notes that if EJ was trying to sabotage him, it didn’t work. Chad says that the company is EJ’s religion so he didn’t want to sabotage him, just to make him look bad. Chad notes that the company is still set to have it’s best year yet since Titan took a big hit when Victor fired Philip, so the only threat to DiMera is if he can work with EJ without killing him..

Jake tells Victor that they have the advantage since Chad and EJ won’t even see this coming. Gabi tells Victor that he doesn’t have to risk anything, just sit back and watch them make it happen for him. Victor calls this all talk and tells them to get him a seat on the DiMera board of directors, then they will finish this conversation. Gabi assures that they will do that and before he knows it, the three of them will be running Titan and DiMera Enterprises. Victor says to keep him posted as Gabi and Jake then exit the mansion. Victor remarks that they came in ready to give him Gabi Chic, but go out determined to get him a seat on the DiMera board of directors. Victor jokes to himself that it was like fish in a barrel.

Kate and Roman tell Rex that they are glad to have him back and toast to him as Gwen opens the door to the Pub and sees Rex.

Jake and Gabi go back to their room. Jake complains about having to dress up to do business. Gabi praises his work there. Jake says he learned everything from her as they kiss. Gabi stops him and says first they need to talk. Gabi says they have talked and joked about it, but now that they are going to make it happen, they really need to decide who is going to be CEO of Titan. Jake questions having to discuss that now. Gabi doesn’t think it will take that long as she’s been thinking about it and thinks they should split things 50/50 as co-CEOs but Jake says like hell they will be.

Shawn asks Chloe if Brady was next in line to take the CEO job after Victor fired Philip from Titan. Chloe says no as Brady is happy at Basic Black and she doesn’t think they ever really fought over business, it was always personal about her. Shawn guesses Philip didn’t see these texts until after Chloe was gone. Chloe notes that it looks really bad. Shawn wants to go see what Brady has to say, but Chloe doesn’t think he’s in any shape to answer questions right now. Shawn decides he will go call one of the officers on the scene to see if there’s anything new. Chloe decides to call Victor to see if he’s heard anything from Philip. Victor answers and asks what the hell she wants. Chloe says she’s just calling to ask if he’s heard anything from Philip or seen him tonight. Victor says no and after his last stunt he pulled with Ava, he’s as good as dead to him. Victor then hangs up the phone.

After seeing Rex, Gwen backs out of the Pub before being seen. Xander joins her outside and asks if she’s ready for an above average dinner.

Roman asks Rex how long he plans to stay. Rex is not sure yet. Kate tells him a ton of people will be so thrilled to see him.

Gwen tells Xander that they can’t go in the Pub as she doesn’t like the look of those in there. Gwen asks why they should have to settle for Pub food and suggests they go to the Bistro for a decent meal at the bar and perhaps talk their way in to getting a table. Xander decides whatever his lady wants, she gets, so they walk away.

Chad tells Abigail that he’s kind of tired but he can take her out to dinner if she wants. Abigail responds that she’s kind of tired too so she thinks they should stay in because she doesn’t want to take the chance of running in to someone they don’t want to see. Abigail adds that she already spoke to the kitchen and dinner will be ready in an hour. Chad says they have an hour to kill then. Abigail asks if he can find the energy to close another deal. Chad asks what her terms are. Abigail says for the rest of the night, it’s no business, only pleasure as they kiss.

Jake tells Gabi that they don’t have to share power because as soon as they take over both companies, Gabi will run Titan and he will run DiMera. Gabi likes the sound of that. Jake says they will work on it first thing in the morning while they work on a merger of their own as they kiss on to the bed.

Chloe informs Shawn that Victor hasn’t heard from Philip. Shawn reveals there is more bad news as there was a trail of blood found by the knife that led down to the water. Chloe cries as Shawn says he’s put an order in to have the river dragged, so they may have to start looking at this as a homicide and unfortunately, Brady is the prime suspect.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[Romantic music]

Roman: You still not ready to say we’re a classic?

Kate: Well, I mean I can’t really speak for the whole relationship, but as for tonight, I think it’s one for the books.

Roman: I am glad to hear that.

Kate: Really? How glad?

Roman: Very glad. Very glad.

Rex: Well, aren’t you two just full of surprises?

Gwen: Xander?

[Sighs] Okay, rizczech. That’s good. It’s good. You–you have a minute to pull yourself together. Oh, god. Please tell me they restocked that bloody fridge. Yes.

[Sighs]

[Exhales shakily] Okay. Focus, gwen. You just helped a convicted felon and absolute, complete sociopath just escape from a prison van.

[Exhales shakily] But it wasn’t your fault. You didn’t have a choice, because if xander found out that his beloved sarah wasn’t healing the sick and she wasn’t having a romp with her ex, well, he would’ve– he would’ve dumped you in a minute to go island-hopping to go and find her. Kristen is the only one who knew about that, and now she’s gone. So that means that there is no way that xander will find out.

Kate: Oh!

Rex: Mom, fabulous as ever.

Kate: Thank you. You look great.

Rex: Thank you. Dude, you pulled out all of the stops here.

Roman: Rex, it’s so good to see you.

Rex: No, I’m serious. You have champagne, and roses, and what is this? What do you got going on here? Is this crme brlée? What, no gypsy violinist?

Roman: They were booked, but I did miss your subtle wit and your wry observations.

Rex: Well, I missed you guys too, and, hey, I really am sorry to barge in like this. I saw the sign out front. I thought a private party was going on, like a knights of columbus-type thing. I had no idea that you were running a full-court press in here.

Kate: Okay. Just leave him alone, okay? He has the heart of a poet and a romantic, unlike you.

Rex: No, no. I–

Kate: Don’t mock him.

Rex: I am seriously, genuinely impressed. And happy. I mean, after all these years, you finally won her back.

Gabi: What else do we have to offer, jake?

Jake: Well, there’s always gabi chic.

Gabi: Oh, right. Gabi chic.

Victor: You offer me your fashion brand in return for my whole company?

Gabi: Scoff all you want, but you know, when I was working for you, it was the most profitable asset that titan had. And why else would philip want to blackmail me out of it?

Jake: You know she’s right.

Gabi: Any conglomerate would be lucky to have my brand under its umbrella. It’s fresh, forward-thinking, everything that titan industries hasn’t been for a very long time. If you make us your ceos, gabi chic is yours. And everything I have done for that brand, I will do for titan. Victor, what are you saying? Are we in?

[Elevator chimes]

Shawn: Hey.

Chloe: Hey.

Shawn: How’s brady doing?

Chloe: Kayla’s with him right now, but I think he’s gonna be fine.

Shawn: Okay. I’m glad to hear that. Do you mind if I talk to you?

Chloe: You want to talk to me or ask me questions?

Shawn: Oh, well, maybe it’s a little bit of both. So john called. He called me, asking if we found marlena.

Chloe: Have you?

Shawn: No, no, no. Not yet. Anyway, so he was worried. He was worried because brady was here at the hospital with him, and he left. He left to go get takeout.

Chloe: And then he didn’t come back.

Shawn: Right, right. And he wasn’t answering any of john’s calls. And then, we got the call that he was on his way here in an ambulance, so I went out to check out the crime scene. And, hey, I’m gonna show you something, okay? It might be, you know, a little disturbing.

Chloe: Okay.

Shawn: All right, so I went to the riverbank where you found brady, and I found this. It’s a knife. Marlena, or whatever it is that’s taken over her’s weapon of choice. I think that john is onto something, and I think that marlena might be relate to it all.

Chloe: I’m sorry, shawn. No, I don’t think she has anything to do with this.

Gabi: So we bring gabi chic back to titan, and it will once again be your most profitable division.

Jake: And, in turn, you make us both co-ceos.

Victor: Sounds very tempting. Lots of positives there.

Gabi: Absolutely.

Victor: And only a few negatives that I can think of.

Jake: And what are they? We’ll take care of ’em.

Victor: Well, I think that you’re both idiots.

Male announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are “the days of our lives.”

[Soft orchestration]

Rex: Well, look, I am really sorry for being so out of touch. Things over there were just really intense.

Roman: Yeah, I know. Been reading about it.

Rex: Now that I’m home, I don’t want to talk about me. So what’s happening here? How long has this been going on?

Roman: Not long. But by the way, you’re the only one who knows this, so keep it to yourself, okay?

Rex: Are you, like, embarrassed or something?

Roman: No. Not at all.

Kate: Oh, no. No, we’re not hiding it. We just don’t really want to announce it until christmas.

Rex: Well, like me, I’m sure everyone’s gonna be so happy for you, especially since the fiasco with–

[Laughter]

Kate: Really? Because you can say his name. You mean when jake dumped me for gabi?

Rex: Whoa, whoa, whoa. He dumped you?

Roman: Yeah, yeah. It’s kind of like barney fife dumping nicole kidman.

Rex: Yeah, it’s a weird simile. It’s accurate, but weird.

Kate: Oh, it’s so nice to have my guys on my side.

Rex: Well, mom, let me be the first to say that you have traded up with dad here, and he deserves gabi. Think about it. Every guy that’s ever hooked up with her, it hasn’t ended so well for them.

Gabi: You know the gabi chic numbers. They’re through the roof. I don’t think an idiot could do that.

Victor: How long have you two been here groveling? Seems like it’s been days.

Gabi: We’re not groveling.

Victor: So if you’ve been paying any attention at all, you know how I feel about you. And you offer me gabi chic. That’s the big plum. Only an idiot would offer victor kiriakis chump change like that.

Jake: What about dimera enterprises?

Abigail: Is it okay to talk to you now?

Chad: I think so.

Abigail: Did you have a tough day at work?

Chad: Yeah, you could say that.

Abigail: Is that why you didn’t return any of my calls?

Chad: I’m sorry. I just–I was in back-to-back meetings all day, and when I finally got around to checking my phone, I had six messages from you.

Abigail: Seven, but who’s counting?

Chad: I just thought I’d come home and talk to you in person. Was it urgent?

Abigail: No, it’s not urgent. It’s just kind of a family matter.

Chad: Are the kids okay?

Abigail: It’s not our family. It’s yours.

Chad: How could it possibly be my family? My family’s either still at the office or in prison.

Abigail: I wouldn’t be so sure about that.

Chad: Kristen didn’T. Kristen–she couldn’t have.

Abigail: She escaped.

Chad: [Sighs] Well, that– that sure shakes your faith in the salem pd, don’t it?

[Door unlocks]

[Door opens]

Gwen: Oh, thank god. I was just about to go down to the police station.

Xander: What are you so worked up about?

Gwen: Well, you, of course. That bloody police commissioner, he just took you in. It was as if– it was as if he were sure that you were the one who helped kristen escape.

Xander: Yeah, he was sure, and he was wrong. If you’re with me, you’re gonna have to get used to seeing the cops haul me in. I’m all of their usual suspects rolled up into one guy.

Gwen: That’s not very fair, is it?

Xander: Well, life’s not fair. You just have to look at it their way. I mean, I was at kristen’s beck and call for a long time, and I was in the interrogation room right before they hauled her down to the van. Of course rafe thought I helped her. And come to think of it, I’m one of the few people left that would help kristen. I mean, she couldn’t have pulled this off by herself. She had to have help. And now, I mean everyone in the whole city hates her guts. Wonder who the hell did help her?

Shawn: But like I said, marlena or whoever she is now, she had a knife. John and susan, they both saw it.

Chloe: I don’t think that this has to do with marlena, or the devil, or whatever.

Shawn: Why not?

Chloe: Because I saw that knife on the ground next to brady.

Shawn: But you didn’t pick it up, did you?

Chloe: No. I didn’t touch it, but–

Shawn: Okay, good.

Chloe: Brady was just covered in all this blood, and I assumed it was his, but then kayla examined him, and–

Shawn: Wait, kayla– kayla examined him? What did she say?

Chloe: She said he doesn’t have any stab wounds. He just has a bump on his head. She also said that the blood doesn’t belong to him.

Shawn: Do you know whose it is?

Chloe: No, I don’T. But I think it could be philip’S. Why give your family just ordinary eggs

Victor: So you’re gonna offer dimera enterprises? That cinches the deal.

Jake: Well, you know we can’t just do that.

Victor: Why not? You do own it, don’t you? I mean you wouldn’t give me something that doesn’t belong to you. That’d be like saying, “well, let’s give him puerto rico or eternal life.” You know what they call people who can’t deliver? Idiots.

Jake: Okay. I may not own dimera, but I know how I can get it.

Victor: You don’t know squat. You couldn’t get the votes to keep it when you had it, and you’re sure as hell are not gonna pry it from ej dimera now that he’s in charge. No. He knows what he’s doing. Now, isn’t it time for you two to leave?

Chloe: I see the blood that was on brady was o positive.

Shawn: And you know philip’s blood type?

Chloe: Yeah. Remember that blood drive that I organized in high school? It was the one where mimi said, “ghoul girl’s gonna drink all the donations.”

Shawn: Oh, yeah, she’s always been such a fun gal.

Chloe: Yeah, well, philip stood up for me, and he was the first person to donate blood. And because, you know, all the kids in school wanted to do whatever philip did, it ended up being a great success, so yeah, I remember his blood type. O positive.

Shawn: Yeah, but o positive is the most common type, so what makes you think that the blood that was on brady belonged to philip?

Chloe: Well, I don’t know, but philip and I went down to the riverbank to check on our tree. We planted a new one there recently.

Shawn: Yeah, belle told me about that.

Chloe: Yeah, except when we got there, someone had ripped the tree out of the ground.

Shawn: Do you know who did it?

Chloe: No, but philip was pretty insistent that brady had done it, and he was furious about it.

Shawn: Yeah. Yeah, belle told me that the two of them are pretty intense right now.

Chloe: Yeah. It has to do with me. But I made it very clear that I’m with philip now. A lot of good that did.

Rex: A toast to you guys. I hope you have a hell of a lot of fun. God knows you deserve it.

Roman: I think we will have a lot of fun. I’ve been pricing rvs. I think your mom and i are gonna tour all the national and state parks.

Rex: There’s really good trout fishing out west.

Roman: Yeah, I’ll catch ’em. You gut and clean ’em while I build the fire.

Rex: [Laughs] You know, I’m gonna get you some waders as a going-away present.

Roman: Thank you.

Kate: Oh, my god. You guys are just hysterical. Really? Really? Because what I was thinking is hotel crillon. We can have a suite overlooking the place de concorde.

Rex: Oh, of course.

Kate: I mean, you two can go fishing in the seine, though, if you’d like, but sarah and I? We’re going shopping.

Rex: Sarah?

Kate: Oh, yeah; I mean, I assume she came back with you. Is she over visiting her mom?

Rex: I don’t know what you’re talking about.

Xander: You know what I was thinking? Like I said, one of the reasons hernandez drove me downtown in the first place was because I was in the interrogation room talking to kristen right before they took her down into the van.

Gwen: [Sighs] Well, that’s a flimsy reason, isn’t it?

Xander: I know, but that’s when you showed up too, right?

Gwen: Xander, I told you that’s because I saw your car outside. I thought that perhaps you were in trouble.

Xander: Hmm, it’s pretty suspicious timing, though. You could have been slipping kristen secret messages or a shiv in a tuna sandwich.

Gwen: Could we just stop talking about kristen dimera now, please?

Xander: Oh, sorry. I just thought it was funny. I mean, why would you help her? You don’t even know her, do you?

Gwen: No, of course not.

[Clears throat] You know what? Are you hungry? We can go to julie’s place for dinner maybe.

Xander: Eh, julie’s place. Maybe we shouldn’t go somewhere where we might be tempted to skip out on the check. Although, when I suggested that before, only I was tempted. You said we shouldn’t be committing any more crimes.

Gwen: And I meant it. What–what are you thinking?

Xander: Oh, I’m just wondering. Has the bad girl I fell for gone good?

Gwen: I thought you liked good girls.

Xander: Well, are we talking about you, or sarah?

Chad: I wonder how many people across salem see “the spectator” headline “kristen dimera escapes” and wonder if they’ve gone back in time?

Abigail: I feel bad for the reporter. It’s getting kinda hard to put a fresh spin on that.

Chad: You know what’s weird?

Abigail: [Chuckles] Everything about your family?

Chad: The last time I saw kristen, she–she actually seemed defeated, like she knew there wasn’t a way out. Or do you think she was conning me? You think there was some– already some kind of plan, or do you think that she just improvised this whole thing in the van?

Abigail: I think there had to have been some kind of a plan. I mean, I don’t see how she could have pulled it off alone. But then, after everything that she’s done, I don’t know who in their right mind would have been willing to help her.

(Upbeat music)

Chloe: So when I ran into brady at the pub, he said he was picking up takeout for his dad.

Shawn: Yeah, that’s what john told me.

Chloe: Yeah, and I figured he’d be going back to the hospital after that. And so, when philip said he thought brady pulled the tree out, I went to the hospital to ask him about it. And john said he never came back here with any food, so maybe philip was right?

Shawn: Okay, so when you saw brady, did he say anything about philip? Did he seem upset?

Chloe: He did talk about philip, but he didn’t seem angry. In fact, he was kind of gloating because victor had fired philip again. Oh, maybe that’s what he was celebrating.

Shawn: I’m sorry, “celebrating”?

Chloe: Yeah, I don’t know, but apparently kayla said that brady’s blood alcohol level was, like, three times the legal limit, so he must have ordered more than just clam chowder.

Shawn: And when you talked to brady, it was on his way into the pub, so did he seem sober then?

Chloe: Yeah. I mean, I guess he could have started drinking, but he did not seem drunk to me.

Shawn: And the next time you saw him–

Chloe: He was lying unconscious, covered in blood.

Shawn: Do you know where philip is?

Chloe: No. I have no idea.

Chad: It seems to me that ej would be the most likely person to have helped kristen escape.

Abigail: Well, he’s such a devoted brother.

Chad: Oh, yeah.

Abigail: Mm-hmm.

Chad: But ej was at the office all day, and he didn’t seem preoccupied or anything. He was focused on being an obstructionist ass, per usual.

Abigail: Well, our sources at the station house did tell us that xander cook was brought in for questioning, but then he was released.

Chad: Hmm, you know what? I don’t really actually care who helped her or why they did it. Honestly, I wish her well and I hope she learned her lesson and stays the hell away from salem.

Abigail: She’s gonna come back. She always comes back.

Chad: More importantly, how was your day? What about you? You know your lines here?

Abigail: Yeah, but I don’t know. It kind of seems like maybe it’s a waste of time. I mean, johnny’s in italy and there’s an apb out on marlena, so perhaps “possessed: The marlena evans story” is in turnaround.

Chad: Or development hell.

Abigail: [Snorts] Yeah. No pun intended, right?

Chad: Look, I’m sorry, baby. I know–I know how much you were looking forward to it.

Abigail: You disappointed I’m not gonna have love scenes with ej, huh?

Chad: No problem. I have plenty of reasons to hate ej’s guts.

Gabi: Victor, that’s titan’s stock at the closing bell. I think that number reflects the perception that titan is a corporate dinosaur run by a capricious old man who just fired yet another inept relative that he had installed as ceo. I’d say–I’d say that you have a sinking ship here, and also that insulting anybody that comes to you with a company that actually makes money is idiotic.

Jake: And I didn’t offer you puerto rico. I didn’t offer you eternal life. I offered you dimera enterprises because we can deliver. Now, ej may know what he’s doing, but he’s got the entire family at each other’s throats.

Gabi: House divided. Ready to collapse.

Jake: Right. Now, gabi and I still have enough shares to call a meeting, so how about this? Let’s put it on a timetable. If you’re not board member by such-and-such a date, no deal, but don’t just flat-out turn us down. Vic. Vic, don’t be an idiot.

Rex: Why would sarah be with me?

Kate: Honey, why wouldn’t she be? You left together.

Rex: No. No, we didn’T.

[Gasps] Okay, that’s one of the reasons why I didn’t call. I was kind of embarrassed. I was hoping maggie would tell you and then we could just pretend the whole thing never happened.

Roman: What never happened?

Rex: At the last possible second, before sarah and i were supposed to be leaving town together, she got cold feet. Said she didn’t want to be in a relationship with anyone and she needed to find herself.

Kate: [Groans] Well, I hope she finds herself in outer mongolia.

Rex: I thought you gave us your blessing?

Kate: I gave you my blessing because I couldn’t do anything about it, okay? But bless her self-absorption. I am just thrilled that you’re finally through with that ridiculous woman.

Rex: Could you please not talk about her that way?

Kate: What? What? Really? Seriously? I can’t be upset when she screws you over like that?

Roman: Yeah, and I don’t get it, all right? If she didn’t go with you, where in the hell did she go?

Rex: I have no idea.

Gwen: Sorry, I– I didn’t mean to bring up sarah.

Xander: Well, you just heard me talking to kristen about her and trying to work out why she left me, left town. I’d understand if you were a little jealous.

Gwen: Jealous? I’m not jealous. Just a bit protective, that’s all, ’cause I know how much she hurt you.

Xander: Hey, you were right when you said that sarah was my past. You’re my present, and hopefully, my future. I don’t give a damn why sarah left me for rex. That’s her loss.

Gwen: And my gain.

[Tense music]

I didn’t have a choice, because if xander found out that his beloved sarah wasn’t healing the sick and she wasn’t having a romp with her ex, well, he would’ve– he would’ve dumped you in a minute to go island-hopping to go and find her. Hello?

Rex: I tried calling sarah a few times, but cell reception in myanmar is not reliable. I just figured if she wanted to find me, she would have.

Roman: Okay. Again, I don’t get it. This is strange, okay? It’s not just us, rex. I think all of salem believes you two were together.

Kate: I know xander does.

Rex: But sarah would have told xander, wouldn’t she?

Kate: No, I guess not. What a lovely, thoughtful woman you had in sarah.

Rex: Yeah, but it would be a lot easier on xander if he knew, wouldn’t it?

Kate: Well, apparently he’s moved on with jack devereaux’s long-lost daughter who’s quite a prize herself. She has daddy issues and is deeply neurotic about it and as amusing as a canker sore, actually.

Rex: Judging again. How unlike you.

Rex: Oh, what? No. I’m just saying it’s a match made in heaven.

Xander: [Sighs] Bistro’s full.

Gwen: Really? How about the pub then?

Xander: Whatever. I’m starving. Come on. Let’s go.

Gwen: Hang on. What’s this on your arm here?

Xander: [Sighs] When I was leaving the police station, some clumsy cop bumped into me with a pizza. I like this shirt, and it’s gonna stain.

Gwen: Dear. Oh, dear. Okay. Well, look. Why don’t you put it in the sink, and I’ll wash it when we get back, yeah?

Xander: Mmm. How domestic of you.

Gwen: You’d like that. Me being a happy, little homemaker. I’ll go get us a table.

Xander: Gwen?

Gwen: Hmm?

Xander: Look, I’m glad I talked to kristen. Don’t know what I was expecting to find out, but it’s like she closed a door on the past for me. I don’t care why sarah went with rex or where they went. You’re here. Sarah could be on the moon for all I care. I just wanted to tell you that.

Gwen: [Sighs]

Chad: So he waits until the entire board is in session–

Abigail: Oh, ej?

Chad: Right, and just when we’re about to wrap up–and mind you, I have been working on this deal for months– and then, out of the blue, ej starts demanding a slew of poison pill clauses.

Abigail: Without even talking to you about it?

Chad: I mean, the first time I heard of it was in front of the entire board and shin, who was obviously ej’s targeted audience.

Abigail: Ugh. Did you and ej fight?

Chad: No, because shin called in security to separate us to neutral corners before we could.

Abigail: Well, that seems like an overreaction.

Chad: Not really; I think it was pretty clear that if there wasn’t some sort of intervention, that I was gonna smash ej’s smug sneer right down his throat.

Victor: Is this where i tell you that you have spunk?

Gabi: No. This is where you tell us that you’ll at least think about it.

Jake: You know what, vic? You’re right. Ej? He’s very smart, very shrewd, but it’s also true that people loathe him. Chad. Tony. Hell, even his own son would jump at the opportunity to stab him in the back. Hell, I would.

Victor: It would be fun to watch stefano’s family self-destruct.

Gabi: Yes, yes, but you need to be thinking about titan. I mean, you’ve given all of your family members every opportunity to preserve titan’s legacy. It is time for new blood, especially now that you’ve given philip the axe.

Shawn: All right, so it is possible that brady went on his bender, he went to the tree, he had a confrontation with philip, and he stabbed him.

Chloe: I–I mean, I guess it could be possible, but shawn, I just don’t see brady doing that, even drunk. Why would he attack philip with a knife?

Shawn: I’m just trying to put together the facts here, all right? So you said you don’t know where philip is, okay, but I’m sure–I mean, you tried calling him, right?

Chloe: Yes, I did call him, and his phone rang in brady’s coat pocket.

Shawn: Okay. Well, here’s your missed call 30 minutes ago. I mean, the rest of these calls, they all look pretty ordinary, and…

Chloe: What is it?

Shawn: Well, earlier tonight, philip got a series of threatening texts, and they’re from brady.

Chloe: The texts? What do they say?

Shawn: Well, they keep getting more and more threatening, and I mean, this last one right here–this is the worst.

Chloe: Let me see. “Philip, you don’t deserve to be with chloe. If you don’t cut yourself out of her life, I’ll have no choice but to cut you out of it myself.”

Abigail: Now, I know I don’t have to tell you to be careful with ej.

Chad: I know better than to turn my back on him. I’d wind up with a knife in it.

Abigail: What happened with the deal you were trying to close?

Chad: I closed it.

Abigail: Mm-hmm. That’s good.

Chad: Yeah.

Abigail: So if he was trying to sabotage it, it didn’t work?

Chad: No, the deal was good for the company, and the company is ej’s religion. I don’t think he really wanted to sabotage it; he just wanted to make me look bad, unprepared. But despite headquarters being an absolute warzone, the company’s set to have the best year yet. And titan took a big hit when victor fired philip, so now the only threat to dimera is whether or not I can work with ej without killing him.

Jake: We have the advantage. Chad. Ej. They won’t even see this coming.

Gabi: And you don’t have to risk anything. All you have to do is sit back and watch us make it happen for you.

Victor: However, this is all talk. You put things in place to give me a seat on the dimera board of directors, and we’ll finish this conversation.

Gabi: We will do that. And before you know it, the three of us are gonna be running titan and dimera enterprises. Come on, jake. We got work to do.

Victor: Keep me posted.

[Tense music]

They come in here ready to give me gabi chic, and they go out determined to give me a seat on the dimera board of directors. Like fish in a barrel.

[Imitates gunfire]

[Chuckles]

Roman: Well, all I can say is we are glad to have you back.

Kate: Mm-hmm. Without the tiresome sarah.

Roman: To you, rex.

Kate: To rex.

Rex: Thanks.

Jake: [Exhales sharply] You know, for the life of me, I will never understand why you have to practically strangle yourself to do business.

Gabi: You look very distinguished.

Jake: I felt like a quack.

Gabi: Well, you didn’t come off as one, all right? Today, the way you handled victor, it was as if you spent your entire life in corner offices and boardrooms.

Jake: Oh, yeah? Well, I learned everything by watching you.

Gabi: Hey, listen. Yeah, before we get to that, we need to talk first.

Jake: We do?

Gabi: Yes. We’ve laughed about it, we’ve joked about it, but now that we’re gonna make it happen, we really need to decide who is gonna be ceo of titan.

Jake: We gotta discuss that now?

Gabi: Yeah. Well, I don’t really think it’s gonna take too long; I’ve been thinking about it, and I think we should just split things 50/50. You know, just co-ceos.

Jake: Like hell we will be.

Shawn: So victor fired philip as ceo of titan. All right, do you know if brady was next in line to take the job?

Chloe: No. Brady is happy at basic black, and I don’t think that they ever really fought about the business stuff. It was always personal, about me.

Shawn: Yeah, well, I just think it’s safe to say that philip didn’t see these texts until after you were gone.

Chloe: It looks really bad.

Shawn: Yeah. Well, let’s go see what brady has to say.

Chloe: I don’t know that he’s in any shape to answer questions right now.

Shawn: Okay. All right. Well, I’m gonna go call one of the officers on the scene. I’m gonna see if there’s anything new.

Chloe: Okay, I’m gonna call victor and see if he’s heard anything.

Shawn: Okay, okay.

[Cell phone beeps]

[Line trilling]

[Cell phone rings]

[Cell phone beeps]

Victor: What the hell do you want?

Chloe: Hi, victor. I’m just calling to ask if you have heard anything from philip or seen him tonight.

Victor: No, and after the last stunt he pulled with ava vitali, he’s as good as dead to me.

[Cell phone beeps]

Gwen: Hi, hi, hi.

[Chuckles]

Xander: So are you ready for an above-average dinner?

Gwen: [Chuckles] Serena: It’s my 3:10

Roman: All right, so how long you gonna stay?

Rex: I’m not sure yet.

Kate: Well, there are gonna be a ton of people who are gonna be so thrilled to see you.

Gwen: We can’t go in there.

Xander: Why not?

Gwen: Because I don’t really like the look of the blokes in there. And do you know what? Darling, why should we have to settle for pub food? Why don’t we go to the bistro, have a decent meal at the bar, and perhaps even talk our way into getting a table?

Xander: Whatever my lady wants, my lady gets. The bistro it is.

Chad: You know, I am kinda tired, but I could take you out to dinner, if you want?

Abigail: Hmm. Hmm.

Chad: Hmm.

Abigail: I’m kinda tired too, so I think we should stay in. I don’t want to take the chance of running into someone we don’t want to see. Besides, I already spoke to the kitchen, and it’s gonna be ready in an hour.

Chad: Okay. So we have about an hour to kill.

Abigail: Yeah, we do. Do you think you could find the energy to close another deal?

Chad: What are your terms?

Abigail: My terms… for the rest of the night: No business, only pleasure.

Chad: Oh, okay. I can do that.

Jake: Uh-uh, see, we don’t have to share power. You know why? As soon as we take over both companies, you’ll run titan, I’ll run dimera.

Gabi: Oh, I like the sound of that.

Jake: Right? And we’ll work on it first thing in the morning, but in the meantime, why don’t we work on a little merger of our own?

Chloe: Victor hasn’t heard from him. What?

Shawn: Got more bad news. There was blood found by the knife. A trail of it. It led down to the water. I put the order in to have the river dragged, so from now on, I think we’re gonna have to start looking at this as a possible homicide. And unfortunately, brady’s our prime suspect.

Update written by Joseph

Kate goes to the Brady Pub and finds it is closed. Kate finds that strange but heads inside to find a decorated dinner set up by Roman.

Xander gets out of the shower in his room at the Salem Inn as Gwen enters with candy bars. Xander suggests they go out instead and have a nice dinner at Julie’s Place. Gwen says that sounds wonderful, but questions how they are going to pay for that. Xander asks who said anything about paying for it and suggests they dine and dash.

Chloe finds Brady’s body seemingly stabbed in the woods with the knife nearby as she tries to wake him up.

Victor sits at home at the Kiriakis Mansion, commenting on the stock going down. Victor calls for Maggie but Gabi and Jake walk in. Gabi asks if Titan had another bad day. Victor responds that Titan is fine but them darkening his doorstep is what gives him a problem. Gabi and Jake talk about Titan not having a CEO. Victor questions them rehearsing this but admits he still hasn’t appointed a CEO as he’s studying his options. They tell Victor that today is his lucky day as his search is over.

Chloe wakes Brady up and worries that he’s really hurt. Brady asks what happened. Chloe doesn’t know and says she just found him like this. Chloe asks if someone stabbed him and where all the blood is coming from.

Gwen questions Xander wanting to dine and dash at Julie’s Place. Xander says they’ll get a tasty dinner and it will be fun. Gwen questions stealing from Julie. Xander brings up how she’s treated them which Gwen can’t argue with. Gwen worries about their recent brushes with the law and suggests they stay clean. Xander doesn’t think they will do time for a dine and dash. Gwen wonders if Julie would call the cops. Xander can’t believe how worried she is about this. Gwen doesn’t think it’s worth the risk for a mediocre night out. Gwen says they just got through the mess with Melinda Trask. Xander then agrees that it’s not worth another tangle with the law, so they won’t dine and dash. Gwen guesses they are going back to candy bars then. Xander says he promised her a dinner so she will get one and he’ll even pay for it. Gwen asks how. Xander reveals that he just received a credit card in the mail.

Roman pours champagne for he and Kate as they toast to surprise. Kate asks what all this is for. Roman says she finally gave him the go ahead to romance her, but he hadn’t lived up to his end of the bargain and only took her on one date which was a wedding that ended in disaster. Roman thought she deserved better, so this is a do over. Roman and Kate then sit together at a table.

Rafe and Ava sit together in the town square. Rafe informs Ava that Kristen’s van didn’t make it to prison. Ava asks where she is then. Rafe says they had units searching for the last hour and he just got word that they found the van and the two guards who accompanied Kristen. Rafe says that apparently Kristen overpowered the guards and force the van off the road. Rafe adds that in the confusion of the crash, Kristen was able to get away. Ava calls it a daring escape and says it couldn’t have been easy to pull that off. Rafe says that’s why he doesn’t believe Kristen pulled it off herself and that she had help. Rafe then informs Ava that he thinks he’s staring at her accomplice as he speaks.

Victor questions Jake and Gabi thinking he should hire them to be CEO of Titan. Gabi argues that they have more than enough experience. Jake asks if he wants their pitch which Victor says he’d laugh at. Gabi insists that they are the only ones who can save Titan from it’s current freefall. Victor asks why them. Gabi says they have executive experience and they’ve worked at Titan before. Jake says they are very famiilar with the daily operations. Gabi asks who is more capable that he could find. Victor doesn’t give a damn about their business experience as he would never hire them. Victor declares if he’s going to replace Philip, he can do that with a member of his own family.

Brady tells Chloe that he doesn’t know where the blood came from but he doesn’t think it’s his. Chloe asks what’s wrong with him then as he is slurring his words. Chloe asks if he was hit in the head. Chloe says he has to tell her what happened. Brady responds that he doesn’t even know. Chloe questions where Philip is.

Roman begins he and Kate’s dinner with chowder. They joke about it but Kate is surprised that Roman added lobster and other ingredients to it which Kate calls fantastic and Roman says he wanted to add his own touch to it. Kate acknowledges that he’s really gone all out for her which Roman says he told her that he would. Kate states that Roman is still himself. Roman responds that she makes him want to be just a little bit better.

Rafe gets up from his table with Ava and confronts Xander and Gwen who were walking by. Rafe says he needs to speak with them. Xander responds that they were on their way to dinner but Rafe says they are going to need to postpone it. Gwen asks what this is about. Rafe informs them that Kristen was being transported to prison today but she didn’t make it, as she escaped. Rafe reveals he’s going to need to take Xander in for questioning. Xander says he can’t be serious. Rafe threaten to arrest him but Xander agrees to go to the police station on his own. Xander tells Gwen they will take a rain check on dinner. Gwen asks Rafe not to keep Xander too long. Rafe responds that it won’t take long at all as long as Xander confesses. Rafe tells Ava that they will have to postpone their dinner too. Ava understands he has a job to do and says she’ll see him at the house as Rafe walks away with Xander.

Gabi tells Victor that she knows he’s always wanted one of his family members to take the reins Titan but they have all failed him one way or another. Gabi remarks that he’s driven away anyone who thought of becoming CEO. Victor acknowledges they’ve had differences of opinion but the company is still their family legacy so no Kiriakis wouldn’t jump at the chance to run Titan. Gabi and Jake bring up Xander and how he quit because Victor kept passing him over Philip and now wants nothing to do with him. Jake brings up Justin, who Gabi notes has never been interested in the corporate world. Gabi adds that Sonny moved to Arizona to run any business but this one. Victor says they made their point but declares that they forgot about Brady.

Brady repeats that the blood is not his. Chloe tells Brady that Philip was here earlier and asks if he’s seen him. Brady complains that Chloe is talking about Philip all the time and he doesn’t deserve her. Chloe asks again if Brady saw him here earlier. Brady then passes out, so Chloe pulls out her phone and calls 911 for an ambulance at the river bank.

Roman asks Kate if she’s ready for the second course. Kate guesses it’s a burger but Roman presents her with filet mignon. Roman points out that they still haven’t really gone public with their status yet. Kate jokes about if he wants to go on social media or take out an ad in the paper. Roman wants to tell their nearest and dearest. Kate realizes he means their kids. Roman asks if Kate has told her kids yet. Kate asks if he has told his. Roman notes that Carrie and Eric are out of the country and he hasn’t talked to them since Kate gave him the word. Kate says that’s two of his kids. Roman says Sami is where ever Sami goes, so he asks Kate if she has told her kids that they are back together.

Gwen sits with Ava in the town square. Gwen says she’s lost her appetite. Ava thought for a second that Rafe was going to arrest Gwen. Gwen almost wishes he had because Xander has been accused of doing something he didn’t do again and it’s something she did. Gwen complains that it isn’t right. Ava tells her that getting caught isn’t going to help anything. Gwen can’t believe it because she is the one person who can clear Xander’s name, but she can’t do that without implicating herself. Gwen goes over how the whole reason she agreed to help Kristen escape was so that she wouldn’t lose Xander, but now if he goes to jail then she’s going to lose him anyway.

Rafe brings Xander to the interrogation room at the police station. Rafe offers him a granola bar since they both had to skip dinner but Xander says he’ll pass. Xander complains that Rafe has destroyed his evening and asks why he thinks he had anything to do with Kristen escaping from her prison transport. Rafe brings up that Xander used to work for Kristen. Xander argues that he worked with her and it was a long time ago. Rafe feels it wasn’t that long ago. Xander reminds him that it was before Kristen hated his guts for switching her baby with Sarah’s. Rafe believes Kristen would forgive him if he could find a way to secure her freedom. Xander assures he had nothing to do with it. Rafe questions Xander just happening to show up on the same day that Kristen was being transported to prison. Xander reminds him that he came to ask questions about Sarah and that Rafe was there to hear him. Rafe acknowledges that he did and says it didn’t make sense to him that Kristen had anything to do with Sarah leaving him. Xander argues that it doesn’t have to make sense to Rafe because it’s none of his damn business. Rafe responds that it is if he’s using that story as a front to break Kristen out of here.

Kayla and Chloe get Brady in to a hospital bed. Kayla finds nothing and asks Chloe about finding him like this. Chloe confirms that and that he said he wasn’t hurt. Kayla thinks he’s right as she doesn’t see any lacerations or puncture wounds. Kayla notes that Brady’s vitals are stable and doesn’t seem to be any stress. Chloe argues that something happened because she found him and he seemed confused, slurring his words, and then he just passed out. Kayla notes there is a bump on his head. Chloe wonders if that’s where the blood is coming from but Kayla says there is no wound. Kayla says she’ll order a CT scan to make sure he’s not concussed but she doesn’t see any injuries.

Gabi questions Victor thinking that Brady is going to take over Titan. Jake reminds Victor that Brady is working at DiMera. Gabi says she’s heard Brady is happy there so she asks Victor if he wants to mention any other family members. Victor begrudgingly accepts that the next CEO of Titan won’t have Kiriakis blood in them. Victor then brings up that Gabi and Jake are the ones who put spyware on Philip’s computer, so he questions why he should hire two people who tried to destroy the company.

Kate asks Roman if he thinks the kids are really interested in their love life after all this time. Roman jokes that when he assumes they don’t care, that’s when they leap in with all their opinions. Kate says they aren’t hiding anything but she thought she would tell Philip and Lucas next time she sees them. Roman questions when that will be. Kate says she’s called them but they haven’t answered her messages. Roman jokes that the older they get, the harder they are to pin down. Kate points out that they have their lives to live too. Roman says that’s why he enjoys a good family holiday because it obligates them all to come home. Roman points out there happens to be one around the corner. Kate realizes he wants to get everyone together to break the news around Christmas time. Roman points out that they usually have a get together here for the kids and grandkids anyway so he suggests making that their coming out party. Kate agrees it would be kind of a good idea to tell everyone at the same time and jokes that if there’s any fallout then at least they are a team. Roman declares that Sami and Eric, Lucas and Philip will all be in the same room and they might even get to see their son Rex. Kate wonders if they’ll ever get Rex to take a break from saving lives with Doctors without Borders. Roman thinks if they both work on him together, they might be able to convince him to bring Sarah home for a real holiday celebration. Kate toasts to that.

Gwen tells Ava that this was never supposed to happen as Kristen said this wouldn’t come back to her. Gwen complains that Ava’s boyfriend came and took her boyfriend away from their dinner plans. Ava insists it will all work out, reminding Gwen that Xander is innocent so Rafe doesn’t actually have anything on him. Gwen worries about Xander being questioned still but Ava assures her that he’s just fishing. Ava says she can tell when the cops have the goods and when they are just bluffing. Ava repeats that Rafe doesn’t have anything on Xander. Gwen can’t help thinking that this whole thing is going to fall apart anyway, even if Xander doesn’t get busted. Gwen says the whole reason that she went to these lengths was to make sure Xander didn’t get back with Sarah. Ava thought that Sarah left town to be with Rex but realizes there is more to the story. Gwen tells her to forget she said anything. Ava questions if Gwen doesn’t trust her after they just committed a felony together, warning she would have plenty of leverage over her if she needed. Gwen acknowledges that Ava is right and admits she’s been dying to tell somebody about what she did.

Kate tells Roman that it feels like dessert time. Roman presents her with creme brulee. Roman says they had something very special a few years ago even if it didn’t last, but now they are back in style. Kate asks if he doesn’t think it’s too early for all of this since they’ve only been back together for a day and a half. Roman thinks it should’ve happened a long time ago. Kate tells Roman that he did really good tonight. Roman thanks her.

Xander questions why Rafe would think him confronting Kristen about Sarah dumping him was a front. Rafe says it got him in the building and then no one would be suspicious when they saw him leave. Xander says he only left because he didn’t get any satisfaction. Rafe suggests he could have followed Kristen to the prison transfer fan. Xander says it makes no sense and asks why he’d lift a finger to help Kristen when she has done nothing but cause him grief. Rafe suggests maybe he felt he owed her after the baby switch. Xander insists that he owes her nothing. Xander brings up that Kristen is the one who called him to tell him about Sarah and Rex, so because of her, he walked in on them in bed on his wedding day. Xander says it almost destroyed him, so rotting in prison for the next few years is too good for Kristen. Xander adds that if someone helped her break out, he hopes he locks them up too.

Gwen reveals to Ava that Sarah is not with Rex, but on some tropical deserted island that Kristen sent her too. Ava laughs that Kristen does not mess around. Ava realizes that’s why Gwen helped break Kristen out of jail, because at any moment she could tell Xander where to find his not so runaway bride. Gwen says she’s not proud of it. Ava points out that it’s working. Gwen asks if it is because she feels terrible that Sarah is being kept away from all her friends and family. Ava points out that she doesn’t feel terrible enough to tell Xander. Gwen admits that she’d feel a lot worse if Sarah came back and took Xander from her. Ava sees that Gwen is conflicted but points out that Gwen did not kidnap Sarah. Gwen feels she’s certainly aiding and questions Ava not thinking she has anything to feel guilty about. Ava remarks that she’s not exactly an angel. Gwen worries that kidnapping is a crime. Ava advises Gwen that there’s no point in wasting time worrying about who she may have hurt as she knew what she wanted and made her choice to get it. Gwen says her whole life has been based on other peoples’ choices. Ava says she made the best of it and so will Sarah. Gwen worries about if something happens to Sarah on that island. Ava tells Gwen that she got what she wants so she should stop worrying about how she got it.

Gabi questions Victor still being upset about the keylogger and claims they weren’t trying to take down Titan, just to get rid of Philip. Victor frowns upon corporate espionage, especially when it’s aimed at his son. Jake suggests they should go but Gabi argues that they are doing Victor a favor. Gabi calls Philip a lousy CEO and says they only installed the keylogger to expose how incompetent Philip was which Victor mocks. Gabi asks if he doesn’t believe them when he obviously agreed that Philip was in no shape to run the company or else he wouldn’t have fired his own son. Victor responds that his feelings are moot but Gabi and Jake are doing a lousy job selling themselves. Gabi disagrees but Victor says it’s not up to them. Victor declares that if they want the #1 spot at Titan, they better come up with something new and fast.

Brady starts to wake up in his hospital bed. Kayla and Chloe tell him that they are there. Kayla asks Chloe about talking to Brady before. Chloe says he just seemed really confused and then passed out. Kayla decides to call to check in on the CT scan and the other blood work as well. Chloe questions that not being Brady’s blood. Kayla says they will know soon as she sent it to the lab. Kayla asks how she found Brady anyway. Chloe explains that she was actually looking for Philip but he wasn’t there. Chloe admits that it crossed her mind that it could be Philip’s blood. Kayla asks when she last heard from him. Chloe says she left him at the river bank and then went back but only found Brady. Chloe declares that she has to find Philip and tries calling him, only to discover that Philip’s phone is in Brady’s pocket. Chloe starts to cry as Kayla questions what Brady is doing with Philip’s phone. Kayla leaves the room, then Brady wakes up. Chloe asks him what is going on, what happened, and why he has Philip’s phone. Chloe pleads with him to talk to her. Kayla returns with the blood work and announces that his blood alcohol level was over 3 times the legal limit. Chloe can’t believe Brady was drunk and says that explains why he was confused and slurring his words. Kayla adds that’s not the only result she got back as she confirms the blood on Brady’s clothes was not his, but it was O positive which Chloe confirms is Philip’s blood type.

Xander tells Rafe that if all he has is accusations, he has a dinner date waiting for him. Rafe tells Xander that he’s free to go for now. Xander repeats that he would never help Kristen. Rafe says he’s just keeping his options open. Xander tells him to eliminate him from the list. Xander says Kristen deserves to be in prison, so if someone did help her escape then he’d be very interested to know what they are getting out of it. Xander then exits the room.

Gwen asks Ava if it’s easy for her to not worry about who she might hurt. Ava says that’s just the way the world works. Ava asks if Gwen was happier without Xander and control over her own life. Gwen admits she was not. Ava advises Gwen that she’s the only person who can make herself feel guilty because she’s the only person who knows what she did. Gwen guesses she’s right. Ava adds that Xander thinks Sarah and Rex are off saving the world together, so no one needs to know otherwise…

Roman and Kate dance together. Roman jokes about saying they are a classic. Kate says tonight is one for the books which Roman is very glad to hear. Roman and Kate’s son Rex then surprises them by entering the Pub, remarking that they are just full of surprises.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Kate: That’s strange. Closed? Hmm?

[Soft music]

[Gasps] What the?

Roman. What’s all this?

Roman: You gave me the word. Now it’s my turn.

[Jazzy music]

Gwen: Right, so it was down to the dregs at the hotel lobby shop, but I did manage to get some very tasty double chocolate bars.

Xander: Forget the granola bars.

Gwen: Don’t tell me you’ve squirreled away some peanut butter pretzels?

Xander: No. Even better. I was thinking we could go out.

Gwen: Out? Out? As in a restaurant, out?

Xander: Yeah, why not? Treat ourselves to a nice dinner at julie’s place like a couple of civilized human beings. What do you say?

Gwen: I say that sounds absolutely wonderful, but how are we gonna pay for that, hmm? ‘Cause last time I checked, our bank accounts were both pinned on empty.

Xander: Who said anything about paying for it?

Gwen: I don’t know what you mean.

Xander: Come on. You’ve never heard of dine and dash?

Gwen: Oh, you.

Chloe: Oh my god, brady. Brady, please wake up. Please wake up.

Male announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “days of our lives.”

[Soft orchestration]

Victor: Just when you thought the stock couldn’t go any lower. Maggie? The hell’d you do with my antacids?

Gabi: What is it? Titan had another bad day?

Victor: Titan is just fine. It’s the thought of you two darkening my doorstep that gives me a problem.

Jake: Ah, you see? Victor’s not fazed by a little downward blip in the market.

Gabi: Why should he be? He knows that titan’s gonna end up on top, even without having a ceo.

Victor: How long did you two rehearse this transparent little play?

Jake: Are we wrong about the ceo position?

Victor: I still haven’t appointed anyone. I’m studying my options.

Jake: Well, then today is your lucky day.

Gabi: Victor kiriakis, your search is over.

Chloe: Oh my god. Oh my god. Brady, please. Please wake up. Please wake up. Brady, can you hear me? Oh, thank god. Oh, thank god. Thank god.

Brady: What, chloe…?

Chloe: Don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t move. I think you’re really hurt.

Brady: Chloe. What is it? What happened?

Chloe: I-I-I don’t know. I just–I just found you like this.

Brady: Like what? What is–what?

Chloe: I don’t–I don’t know. Did–did someone stab you?

Brady: I don’t think so. What are you talking about?

Chloe: Like, where–where is all this blood coming from?

Brady: I don’t know. I don’t know. I don’t know.

Chloe: Oh my god. Serena: It’s my 3:10

Gwen: You want us to go to julie’s and pull a dine and dash?

Xander: Don’t tell me you’re not familiar?

Gwen: Yes, I am actually quite well-versed in the concept.

Xander: Well, then. You know how rewarding it can be. Not only do we get a tasty dinner, it would be quite fun. I mean, we’d order the most expensive thing on the menu and leave julie to pay for it. It would be great.

Gwen: You mean steal from julie?

Xander: After the way she’s treated us, it’s she least she owes us. A nice, free dinner.

Gwen: Well, I definitely can’t argue with that. But, you know, with all these recent brushes with the law, don’t you think that it’s just best to keep our noses and everything else clean?

Xander: I don’t think we’ll do time for a dine and dash. I mean, remember when I stole that whole bottle of fine scotch from julie? All she made me do was pay restitution.

Gwen: So you’re banking on julie not calling the cops, then?

Xander: I can’t believe how worried you are about this. It’s kind of adorable.

Gwen: Well, look, it’s just– I don’t really think it’s worth the risk for just an average, mediocre night out, that’s all.

Xander: Average? Mediocre?

Gwen: I mean, the meal. I don’t mean you, the company. You know, and well, we just got out of all that mess with trask, didn’t we?

Xander: All right, all right, you have a point. I guess even a michelin-star meal isn’t worth another tangle with the law. We won’t dine and dash.

Gwen: Okay. So back to the very tasty chocolate bar, then?

Xander: Absolutely not. I promised you a dinner, and a dinner you shall have. I’ll even going to pay for it.

Gwen: How?

Xander: Well, let’s see. Look what I received in the mail today. Plenty of credit to spare.

Roman: Cheers.

Kate: Just cheers? I mean, how am I gonna toast if I don’t know what I’m toasting?

Roman: Well, okay then. Let’s drink to surprise.

Kate: Okay. That works. Mmm, that’s lovely.

Roman: I thought you’d like it.

Kate: So okay. So what is all of this? Why the champagne?

Roman: All right, you know what? I was thinking you finally gave me the go ahead to–as I so eloquently put it, romance the hell out of you. But so far–so far, I haven’t really lived up to my end of the bargain. All right? I took you on one date, to a wedding that ended in disaster.

Kate: That was utter disaster.

Roman: Yes. So I thought we deserved better. You deserved better. So consider this a do-over. Madam, may I show you to your seat?

Kate: Oh, then. Yes, you can, sir. Thank you.

[Soft romantic music]

Ava: What do you mean, kristen’s van didn’t make it to statesville? Where is she?

Rafe: Well, we’ve had units searching for the last hour. And I finally just got word that they found the van and the two guards who were accompanying her.

Ava: Found them where?

Rafe: Well, apparently, kristen was able to overpower them and forced the van from the road.

Ava: Wow.

Rafe: Yeah. And in the confusion of the crash, she was able to get away.

Ava: That sounds like a daring escape. Couldn’t have been easy to pull that off.

Rafe: Yeah, exactly. Which is why I don’t believe for a second that she did it by herself.

Ava: What do you mean?

Rafe: I mean that she had help. And I think that I’m staring at her accomplice as I speak.

Victor: So you two think I should hire you to be ceos of titan?

Gabi: Why not? We have more than enough experience.

Jake: You want to hear our pitch?

Victor: Why not? I could use a good laugh.

Gabi: Well, you know, laugh all you want, but we’re the only ones that can save your company from its current free-fall.

Victor: Why you?

Gabi: Well, we have executive experience. We have worked at titan before, so we can hit the ground running.

Jake: Right. We’re very familiar with the day-to-day operations.

Gabi: What more capable hands are you going to find?

Victor: Is this the part where I get to respond?

Gabi: Sure. Go ahead.

Victor: How’s this? I don’t give a damn about your business experience. I don’t care if you’re steve jobs and john D. Rockefeller reincarnated. I wouldn’t hire you. Besides, if I’m gonna replace philip, I can do that from a member of my own family.

Chloe: Oh, my god.

Brady: I don’t–I don’t know. I don’t know where all this blood came from, chloe.

Chloe: What do you mean? Is–the blood’s not yours?

Brady: No, I don’t think–i don’t think so.

Chloe: Okay, what–what’s wrong with you?

Brady: There’s nothing wrong with me.

Chloe: You’re slurring your words. Did–did you get hit in the head?

Brady: Oh, my god. My head.

Chloe: Brady, you have to tell me what happened, okay? Please talk to me.

Brady: I don’t know. I don’t even know. Okay? I don’t know.

Chloe: Oh my gosh. Brady, where’s philip?

Brady: I don’t know.

[Hall & oates “you make my dreams” plays]

Roman: Okay. First course. Chowder.

Kate: How exotic.

Roman: We have done this together too many times for me to pretend to be anyone other than who I am.

Kate: Okay. And I wouldn’t want it any other way. I’m not complaining. All right.

[Soft music]

Mmm. Hold on. What? This isn’t the same chowder. Did you put something in it? Is this lobster?

Roman: Not to mention paprika and thyme. Look, we all know that maud’s recipe for chowder is the best of the best. Okay? It can’t be beat. That’s why we have it on the menu every single day. So for tonight, I thought, “you know what? I’m gonna add my own touch. Just to make it a little more personal.”

Kate: Wow, it is absolutely fantastic. It deserves to be on the menu.

Roman: Hey, let’s not go crazy. Have you seen the price of lobster these days?

Kate: I know. You really have gone all out for me.

Roman: I told you I would. All you had to do was say the word.

Kate: I think I’m beginning to understand. The pub, transformed. A new suit. Lobster in the chowder. You’re still you.

Roman: But you know what? You make me want to be just a little bit better.

Rafe: Excuse me. I need to speak to both of you.

Xander: Sorry, commissioner, we’re just on our way to dinner.

Rafe: Well, you’re gonna need to postpone it.

Gwen: What’s this about?

Rafe: Well, as you know, kristen dimera was being transported to statesville today.

Xander: So?

Rafe: So she didn’t make it.

Gwen: What does that mean?

Rafe: Well, gwen, it means she escaped.

Gwen: Escaped?

Rafe: That’s right. So I’m gonna need to take you in for questioning.

Gwen: Me? Why?

Rafe: Not you. Your friend here.

Gwen: Xander?

Xander: Wait, you think I know something about kristen’s escape? You can’t be serious.

Rafe: Do you want to do this the easy way, or do I need to arrest you?

Xander: I’d hardly call going down to the police station “easy,” but fine. Whatever. Lead the way.

Gwen: Xander.

Xander: Darling, you okay if we just take a rain check?

Gwen: Yes, of course. Commissioner, please don’t keep him too long.

Rafe: Yeah, it won’t take long at all, as long as he confesses. Sorry, we’re going to have to postpone ours, too.

Ava: Don’t worry about it. You’ve got a job to do. I’ll see you at the house.

Gabi: Yeah, I know you’ve always wanted one of your family members to take the reins of titan. But you know, you and i both know they have all failed you one way or another. And at this point, you’ve driven away anyone who’s thought of becoming ceo.

Victor: We have had our differences of opinion from time to time, yes.

Gabi: That’s–that’s one way to put it.

Victor: Company’s still our family legacy. There’s not a kiriakis alive who wouldn’t jump at the chance to run titan.

Jake: Like who? Xander?

Gabi: He quit because you kept passing him over for philip. He doesn’t want anything to do with you.

Jake: I suppose there’s always justin.

Gabi: Yeah, but he’s never been interested in the corporate world. You know, he’s busy taking up lost causes. Oh, and then there’s sonny. Yep, sonny, who moved to arizona to run any business but this one.

Victor: All right, all right. You’ve made your point. There’s one that you’ve forgotten, though. Brady.

Chloe: Oh, my god, brady. Okay, so philip was here earlier. Have you seen him?

Brady: Philip?

Chloe: Yes. Be careful. You’re hurt.

Brady: I’m good. The blood isn’t mine. I don’t even know whose it is.

Chloe: Okay, philip was here earlier. Did you see him?

Brady: Philip. It’s just philip. God, you’re talking about philip all the time. He doesn’t–he doesn’t deserve you. He never did. I mean–

Chloe: Doesn’t–well, did you see him here earlier?

Brady: Chloe, I didn’t–

Chloe: Oh my–okay. Oh my god. Oh my god. Okay. Oh, my god, brady. Hang on, hang on, hang on.

[Line trilling] Hi. Yeah, this is an emergency. I–I need an ambulance down at the riverbank. My–my friend collapsed, and he–he’s covered in blood. We do it every night.

Roman: Are you ready for the second course?

Kate: Okay, wait a minute. Let me guess. I would say a burger, but with kobe beef?

Roman: Close.

Kate: Ah, filet mignon. Very, very nice.

Roman: Now, I could put that on a bun if you’d prefer.

Kate: Oh, no, no. No. It’s quite nice as it is. Thank you very much. But I will let you know.

Roman: Okay. Medium rare. Did I get that right?

Kate: Of course you got it right. Of course you did because you know me so well.

Roman: Well, I’ve had time to learn, both in a relationship and out of one. Speaking of which–

Kate: Yes?

Roman: I know we did go to the wedding, but we really still haven’t gone public with our status yet.

Kate: “With our status.” Okay, well, what do you want to do? You want to do a media blitz on social media? Would you like to take out a full-page ad in “the spectator” or what?

Roman: You know what? I love that a lot, but no. I’m just thinking about, you know, telling our nearest and dearest.

Kate: The kids.

Roman: Yeah. Yeah. Have you? Have you told yours about us yet?

Kate: No. Well, have you told yours?

Roman: Well, carrie and eric are out of the country, and I haven’t talked to them since you gave me the word.

Kate: Okay. Okay. That’s two.

Roman: Yeah, well, sami, hell. Sami’s off somewhere. Wherever sami in hell goes. You know.

Kate: So obviously, the answer is no.

Roman: Okay. Now it’s your turn. Have you told your kids that we’re back together?

Ava: I ordered rafe a burger. It’s yours if you want it.

Gwen: Thanks, but now I’m afraid I just lost my appetite.

Ava: Can’t blame you. For a second there, I thought that rafe was going to arrest you.

Gwen: You know, honestly, I think I’d be happier if he had.

Ava: Why?

Gwen: Because xander has been accused of doing something that he didn’t do yet again. Again. And it’s something that I did.

Ava: Okay. Maybe you want to keep your voice down a bit.

Gwen: Sorry. You’re right. I’m just really upset. This just isn’t– this isn’t right.

Ava: Well, you know, getting caught isn’t going to help anything.

Gwen: Yeah, I know. But I just can’t believe this. Because I am the one person who can clear his name, but I-I can’t do that without implicating myself.

Ava: That is a conundrum.

Gwen: Yeah. The whole reason that I agreed to help kristen escape was so that I wouldn’t lose xander. But now– if he goes to jail, I’m–I’m gonna lose him anyway.

Rafe: Well, seeing as though neither one of us got dinner…

Xander: What is it with granola bars today?

Rafe: I’ve got cranberry walnut or blueberry surprise.

Xander: I’ll pass, thanks.

Rafe: Suit yourself.

Xander: Well, look. Now that you’ve completely destroyed my evening, you mind telling me why you think I had anything to do with kristen escaping from her prison transport?

Rafe: Well, you used to work for her.

Xander: I used to work with kristen. It was a long time ago.

Rafe: Not that long.

Xander: Right, but it was before she hated my guts for switching her baby with sarah’S.

Rafe: Well, something tells me that she would forgive you if she thought you could find a way to secure her freedom.

Xander: I had nothing to do with it.

Rafe: Okay. So you just happened to show up here the same day that she was getting transported back to statesville?

Xander: I was here to ask kristen questions about sarah. You–you were there. You heard me.

Rafe: I did. You know what, I’m gonna be honest with you. It really didn’t make sense to me that kristen had anything to do with sarah leaving you.

Xander: Oh. It doesn’t have to make sense to you because it’s none of your damn business.

Rafe: Well, actually it is. Especially if you’re using the story as a front to break her out of here. Nyquil severe gives you powerful relief

Chloe: So do you see anything?

Kayla: Nothing yet. So you just found him like this?

Chloe: Yeah. And–and he said that he wasn’t hurt.

Kayla: Well, I think he’s right. I don’t see any lacerations or a puncture wound, nothing that would have him hemorrhage like this.

Chloe: So he’s okay?

Kayla: Well, his vitals are stable. And he doesn’t seem to be in acute distress.

Chloe: What–I mean, something happened, kayla. I found him and he seemed confused. He was slurring his words and then he just passed out.

Kayla: Well, he does have a bump on his head. I mean, it could be some kind of trauma that caused him to lose consciousness.

Chloe: Could that be where the blood’s from?

Kayla: I searched his entire scalp, and there is no wound. I’m gonna order a ct scan just to make sure that he isn’t concussed. But as far as any injuries, I just don’t see any.

Gabi: You think brady is going to take over titan?

Jake: Last I checked, brady was working with my brothers at dimera.

Gabi: Yeah, and from what I hear, he’s happy there. So any other family members you’d like to mention?

Victor: All right. Fine. So the next ceo of titan won’t have kiriakis blood in his veins.

Gabi: And here we are.

Jake: Here we are.

Victor: You’re forgetting one very important detail.

Gabi: What’s that?

Victor: You’re the ones that planted the spyware to take down philip. Why should I hire two people who’d be running titan who tried to destroy the company?

Kate: Seriously, roman, after all this time, do you think the kids are really interested in our love life?

Roman: You know what? If I have learned one thing, it’s when I assume my kids don’t care, that’s exactly when they leap in with all their opinions.

Kate: Well, it’s not like we’re trying to hide anything, you know. I mean, I thought that would tell philip and lucas the next time I saw them.

Roman: Which is when?

Kate: Well, I’ve called them. I mean, they just haven’t answered my messages yet.

Roman: The older they get, the harder they are to pin down.

Kate: Well, they do have their lives to live too, you know.

Roman: Yeah, which is exactly why I love a good family holiday. Because it pretty much obligates them all to come home. And would you look at that? There happens to be one right around the corner.

Kate: Oh, like–all right. So now I see where this is all going. You want to get everyone together so we can break the news at christmas time, right. Is that it?

Roman: You know, we usually have a get-together here for the kids and grandkids anyway. You know, why not make that our coming out party?

Kate: Actually, it would be kind of a good idea to tell everyone at the same time, right. I mean, if there’s any fallout, at least we’re a team.

Roman: Exactly. Sami and eric and lucas and philip will all be in the same room. And who knows, we may get lucky and see our son then, too.

Kate: Yeah. Do you ever think we’re going to be able to get rex to take a break from saving lives with doctors without borders?

Roman: You know, I’ve been thinking about that. And I think if we both work on him together, we just might be able to convince him to bring sarah home for a real holiday celebration.

Kate: Oh, my gosh. Cheers to that.

Roman: Right.

Gwen: This was never supposed to happen. Kristen said this wouldn’t come back at me.

Ava: Okay, would you calm down? It’s like you want to tell the whole square your business.

Gwen: That’s so easy for you to say, isn’t it? ‘Cause my boyfriend didn’t just come and take your boyfriend in for questioning while you were on your way to a nice dinner, did he?

Ava: I’m sorry you had to cancel your plans, but it’s all going to work out.

Gwen: Yeah?

Ava: Yeah.

Gwen: How?

Ava: Have you forgotten? Xander’s innocent. So rafe doesn’t actually have anything on him.

Gwen: Then why did he take him in for questioning?

Ava: I don’t know. Fishing expedition. You know, round up the usual suspects, that sort of thing.

Gwen: Are you sure?

Ava: Take it from someone who has stonewalled her fair share of police interrogations. I can tell when the cops have the goods and when they’re just bluffing.

Gwen: You think rafe is bluffing?

Ava: Like I said, he doesn’t have anything. All right. Take a deep breath. Have a fry, maybe two.

Gwen: Yeah, okay.

Ava: Better, huh?

Gwen: You’re right.

Ava: What?

Gwen: I don’t know. I just can’t–I can’t help thinking that this whole thing is just gonna fall apart anyway, even if xander doesn’t get busted. I mean, the whole reason I went to these lengths was to make sure that xander wouldn’t get back together with his ex.

Ava: Wait a minute. I thought that sarah left xander to be with her ex-husband.

Gwen: Well, I mean…

Ava: Ah. So there’s more to this story after all.

Gwen: Just forget I said anything.

Ava: Oh, what, you don’t trust me? We just committed a felony together. If I need leverage on you, oh baby, I’ve got plenty.

Gwen: I suppose you’re right. Plus, I’ve been dying to tell somebody about what I did. Psoriatic arthritis, made my joints stiff,…

Kate: This feels like dessert time.

Roman: Not just dessert. The piece de resistance. Creme brléE. I torched it myself.

Kate: My favorite.

Roman: You weren’t hoping for something new and fresh?

Kate: Oh, I’ve had something new and fresh, and it wasn’t all it was cracked up to be. Mmm. The classics are the classics for a reason.

Roman: Kind of like us.

Kate: Do you think we’re a classic?

Roman: You know what? What I do know is this. We had something very, very special a few years back. I know it didn’t last, but you could think of us as back in style.

Kate: You don’t think it’s too early?

Roman: For what?

Kate: For all of this, you know. For all of it. For calling us–for calling us a classic, for wanting to make a big announcement to the family. I mean, really, roman, it’s only a date and a half.

Roman: I think it should’ve happened a long time ago. How about you?

Kate: I think that you did good tonight, roman. I think you did real good.

Roman: Thank you.

Xander: Why the hell would you think that me confronting kristen about my fiancée dumping me was a front?

Rafe: It got you in the building, didn’t it? And then, no one would be suspicious when they saw you leave.

Xander: I only left because I didn’t get any satisfaction.

Rafe: Mm-hmm. Or maybe you followed kristen out to the prison transfer van.

Xander: No. And your entire premise makes no sense. Why would I lift a finger to help that woman? She’s done nothing but cause me grief.

Rafe: No. Maybe you felt like you owed her after the baby switch.

Xander: I owe her nothing. I mean, she’s the one who called me to tell me that sarah was hooking up with rex. Because of her, I had to walk in on the love of my life with another man on my wedding day.

Rafe: That must have been rough.

Xander: Rough? It almost destroyed me. So commissioner, believe me when I say that rotting in prison for the next few years is too good for kristen dimera. And if someone helped her break out, I hope you lock them up, too.

Ava: So sarah’s not off with rex?

Gwen: No. She’s fending off bugs on some tropical deserted island where kristen sent her to.

Ava: Kristen does not mess around, does she?

Gwen: Exactly.

Ava: So that’s why you helped break her out of jail. Because at any moment, she can tell xander where to find his not-so-runaway bride.

Gwen: I’m not proud of it.

Ava: Hey, it’s working.

Gwen: Is it working, really? Because honestly, I feel terrible that this poor woman is being kept away from all her friends and family.

Ava: Not terrible enough to tell xander.

Gwen: No. Of course not. Because I’d feel a lot worse if she came back and took him from me.

Ava: Look, I can see you’re conflicted, gwen. But you know, you didn’t kidnap her.

Gwen: I’m certainly aiding and abetting, aren’t I? You really don’t think that I have anything to feel guilty about?

Ava: I’m not saying it’s not shady or not even illegal, okay? But you’re not exactly an angel.

Gwen: I know. But kidnapping is–it–

Ava: Just a word, gwen. It’s just a word.

Gwen: It’s also a crime.

Ava: Okay. From someone who has made her living on the wrong side of the law, can I offer you a little advice?

Gwen: Advice? Advice from a career criminal. That’s–that’s perfect.

Ava: There’s no point in wasting time worrying about who you may have hurt. You knew what you wanted and you made your choice to get it. People do it every day. Right?

Gwen: Yeah.

Ava: Yeah.

Gwen: They certainly did that to me. My whole life was based on other people’s choices.

Ava: Hey. And you were collateral damage. Right? It’s not pretty. You made the best of it. And so will sarah.

Gwen: What if something happens to her on that island?

Ava: Gwen, you got what you want, right? Stop worrying about how you got it.

Gabi: Don’t tell me you’re still upset about the keylogger. We weren’t–we weren’t trying to take down titan. We were trying to get rid of philip.

Victor: Oh, well, call me old-fashioned, but I tend to frown on corporate espionage, especially when it’s aimed at my son.

Jake: You know, gabs, maybe we should go.

Gabi: Go? What–we’re doing–we’re doing victor a favor.

Victor: A favor?

Gabi: I mean, come on. Philip is a lousy ceo. I–I know he’s your son. We only installed that keylogger to expose how incompetent philip was.

Victor: Well, if that’s the case, why didn’t you say so?

Gabi: You–you don’t believe us? You obviously agree that philip is in no shape to run this company. I mean, why else would you fire your own son?

Victor: My feelings about philip as a ceo are moot. But if you’re trying to sell yourselves, you’re doing a lousy job.

Gabi: I disagree.

Victor: Well, it’s not up to you, is it? So if you want the number one spot at titan, you’d better come up with something new, and fast.

Kayla: Brady? It’s kayla. You’re at the hospital. Can you hear me?

Chloe: Brady, brady, I’m here, too, okay?

Kayla: You said you talked to him before?

Chloe: I-yeah, but he didn’t say much. He just seemed really confused, and then he passed out.

Kayla: I’m gonna message the lab and find out what the hold-up is on the ct. I’ll check on the other blood work as well.

Chloe: If that’s not his blood–

Kayla: Well, we’ll know soon enough. I swabbed everything and I sent it to the lab.

Chloe: Okay.

Kayla: How did you find him anyway? Did he call you?

Chloe: No. I was–I was looking for philip, actually.

Kayla: Well, did you see philip?

Chloe: No, he wasn’t there.

Kayla: Chloe, do you think–

Chloe: That that could be philip’s blood? Yeah, it’s crossed my mind.

Kayla: When was the last time that you heard from him?

Chloe: I left him at the riverbank, and when I back there, I just–I just found brady, but–I have to find him.

[Line trilling]

[Phone ringing]

Kayla: What is brady doing with philip’s phone? I’ve lost count of how many asthma attacks I’ve had.

Brady: [Groans]

Chloe: Brady. Brady, it’s me. It’s chloe. Can you hear me?

Brady: Chloe. Chloe.

Chloe: Brady, can you– can you tell me what’s–what’s going on? What happened? What happened? What–why do you have philip’s phone? Brady, talk to me. What–what–what’s going on?

Kayla: Chloe, I just got brady’s blood work back.

Chloe: And?

Kayla: And his blood alcohol level was 0.25, over three times the legal limit.

Chloe: Oh my god. He was drunk? That explains why he was confused and slurring his words.

Kayla: That’s not the only result I got back. As suspected, the blood on his clothing was not his. It’s o positive.

Chloe: O positive?

Kayla: Does that mean something to you?

Chloe: We–we gave blood together once, but I know that o positive is philip’s blood type.

Xander: If accusations are all you have to throw at me, I have a dinner date waiting for me.

Rafe: You’re free to go for now.

Xander: For now? Look, how much clearer can I make it? I would never help kristen.

Rafe: Just keeping my options open.

Xander: Well, eliminate me from your list. Kristen dimera deserves to be in prison. If someone did help her escape, might be very interested in knowing what they’re getting out of it.

[Tense music]

Ava: I’m not sure rafe’s gonna like this reheated. I can always make meatballs out of it.

Gwen: This is easy for you, isn’t it?

Ava: What is?

Gwen: Just not worrying about who you might hurt.

Ava: I never said it’s easy. It’s just–it’s the way the world works. I mean, were you happier when you didn’t have xander, when you didn’t have control over your own life?

Gwen: No, I wasn’T. Not even close.

Ava: Exactly. Hey. Hey, let me offer you one more bit of advice. You are the only person who can make yourself feel guilty. Because you’re the only person who knows what you did.

Gwen: I guess you’re right.

Ava: I know I am. Look, and as far as xander is concerned, he thinks that sarah and rex are off together saving the world. And no one needs to know otherwise.

[Romantic music playing]

Roman: You still not ready to say we’re classic?

Kate: Well, I mean, I can’t really speak for the whole relationship, but as for tonight, I think it’s one for the books.

Roman: I am glad to hear that.

Kate: Really? How glad?

Roman: Very glad.

Rex: Well, aren’t you two just full of surprises?

Recap written by Michele and Cheryl

Paulina ran into Abe at the hospital. She asked if he was there to see John. She said she saw John. Abe said he was there to see him. He wondered why she went to see John. She said she danced with the devil and lived to tell about it. Paulina told Abe that Marlena was possessed. She said the wedding falling apart was because of the devil. Abe agreed with her. He said lies came from the devil. He said the lie came from her. He walked away from her. She went after him. Abe told Paulina to stop apologizing. She tried to tell him how tough her situation was. She begged him to forgive her. She brought up Lexie and how she couldn’t compete with her. She said Lani’s father made her feel alone and trapped. She said she was proud she fought her way out and gave Lani the best life she could. He said he was done with her. She wanted him to promise her he wouldn’t turn his back on Lani. Abe told Paulina that he let Lani know he wasn’t turning his back on her. Paulina asked him about them. He said he couldn’t turn his love off for her. He said he loved her. He said that didn’t mean he would trust her. He said the lie was too big to risk his heart with her again. Lani got off the phone with Tamara when Eli came home. Lani said Tamara said she loved her. She said that meant her whole life was a lie she spread to Abe. She said she spoke to Abe and he told her he would always love her. Eli said she should believe him.

John thought it might not have worked since he wasn’t a real priest. Steve asked John if he knew what the devil wanted. John said he didn’t know. He thought it was a sideshow for the main attraction.

Recap written by Michele and Cheryl

Chloe told Philip that she knew he was fired. She wanted to know why he didn’t tell her. She said they are supposed to be a couple. She said they are supposed to tell each other good and bad things. He thought about her talking to Brady about having sex. He asked if she told him everything. She said he never let her in or made it easy for her to open up. Philip apologized for being in a funk. She wanted to go out, but he wasn’t interested. She suggested she go out to bring him something to eat. When she left, he thought she was going to have sex with Brady. Victor read about John and Susan being in the crypt. Maggie told him Marlena was possessed. She said Marlena was the one who did that to John and Susan. She said she was meeting with Brady when Belle called him to tell him. Victor was worried about Brady. She said he didn’t drink, but he was tempted. Victor blamed Chloe. Maggie told Victor it was his meddling that caused the strain between Brady and Philip. Philip was listening when Victor asked Maggie if Brady had feelings for Chloe. Philip heard Maggie say Brady thought he and Chloe could be happy if Philip weren’t in the way. Maggie said Brady wouldn’t hurt anyone. Victor said jealousy could push Brady in a bad place. Ben and Ciara brought Marlena to the cabin. Ben said Marlena would be safe there. Marlena noticed Ciara staring at her. Marlena asked if everything was okay. Ciara said she was having a hard time believing John was a monster. She said it was as if someone else was in the apartment.

Marlena understood Ciara’s confusion. Marlena said her husband was dangerous. Ciara said they should call the police and tell them what was going on. Marlena didn’t want to do that. She said the police would protect John. Ciara thought Shawn would do the right thing. Marlena took the phone from Ciara. Marlena apologized and said she was on edge. She gave Ciara back her phone when Ben said they wouldn’t call anyone. Ciara was skeptical, but she agreed not to say anything. Ciara was concerned about being far away from Salem if something happened to the baby. Marlena said she was a doctor and would take care of the baby. When Marlena stepped out, Ciara told Ben she didn’t like what was going on. She said she wanted to call Belle and Shawn so they would know what was going on with John. She said something was off. Lani told Abe she had trouble facing him. She believed it was her fault for jumped to the wrong conclusion about him being her father. She thought he wished she never came to town. He said finding out she wss his daughter was the best thing that happened to him. Tamara tried to call Lani, but she didn’t answer it. Lani couldn’t believe Tamara and Paulina let her bond with him and Theo. Abe said their bond was real. He told her about what happened between John and Roman. He said she would always be his daughter.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[Elevator dings]

Paulina: You can’t run away from me, abe carver. You should know that by now.

[Phone rings]

Eli: Hey, john, how are you feeling?

John: Well, I’ll be better when I get an update on marlena. What do you got?

Eli: Uh, well, actually, we checked the security footage from my grandmother’s house, but there’s no indication of which direction she left. And there’s also been no sightings since–since she left there either. Let’s see here–yeah, we’ve interviewed close contacts, double patrols, but still nothing.

John: All right, look, I know your men are all over this, but they need to be aware that marlena can camouflage herself. She can change her shape, she can change her form.

Eli: O–okay?

Marlena: And force isn’t going to do them any good. Handcuffs aren’t going to hold her. Ask shawn, he found out the hard way.

Eli: Yeah, shawn filled me in, but–look, man, how are we supposed to bring marlena in? What do you want, us to douse her with holy water?

John: Look, I know this all sounds crazy, and you’re not prepared to deal with this, but who is? Let’s just find her first. We’ll figure the rest of it out, but we are running out of time.

[Knocking on door]

Ciara: Ben, what do we do?

Ben: The only thing we can do.

Marlena: No, no, no, please, stop, stop.

Ben: There is no way that it can be john.

Marlena: We don’t know that. We don’t know that for sure. Please, please, I’m begging you. Don’t open the door.

[Suspenseful music]

[Laughs nervously] Come on. It’s the middle of nowhere. It’s the middle of the winter. Just, please, please, don’t open the door.

[Knocking on door]

Ciara: Uh, well, it’s not john. It looks like a hiker.

Marlena: Well, but it could be somebody who–who’s with john. Don’t do it. Th–this could just be a trap.

Ben: Marlena, I promise you, I will not let–we will not let anything happen to you. But whoever’s on the other side of this door knows that we are in here, and he’s not going away.

Marlena: [Sighs]

Gabriel: Hi.

Ben: What can I do for you?

Brady: Oh, buddy, I wish i could’ve been there to see you score that winning goal. But you know I’m proud of you, right?

[Tense music] Good, good. Listen, hey, let’s video chat over the weekend. Is that good? All right. I love you too, buddy.

[Music builds]

Male announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “days of our lives.”

[Soft orchestration]

Chloe: Hey, philip, uh, where are you? I’m back with the food, and, uh, you’re not here. No one even knew that you’d left. Um, where are you?

[Solemn music]

[Phone beeps]

Philip: Cheating bitch.

[Slow dramatic music]

[Grunts]

Gabriel: Please, I need some water.

Ciara: Oh, please, come in, sit. Here you go.

[Soft music]

Ben: You weren’t kidding about being thirsty.

Gabriel: [Exhales, chuckles]

Ben: We don’t see too many people around this part of the woods.

Gabriel: That’s what draws me here. I come here every year for spiritual renewal. I intended to replenish my canteen at the bottom of the trailhead, but the stream seems to have been desecrated.

Ciara: Oh, uh, can I please refill your canteen?

Gabriel: Thank heaven for good samaritans.

[Chuckles]

Ben: We’re happy to help. I’m ben, by the way.

Ciara: Uh, ciara. Hey.

Gabriel: Gabriel.

Ciara: Gabriel? That is a very nice name. You know, my grandma caroline used to say a special prayer to saint gabriel.

Gabriel: My own mother named me for the archangel. [Chuckles]

It’s my 4:05 the-show-must-go-on

Philip: You’re eating without me?

Chloe: Hey! Where were you? I’m sorry, the food was getting cold.

Philip: Oh, I went to get you a present. I–I had to hit a couple of places before I found the right thing.

Chloe: Oh, present? Well, where is it?

Philip: It’s in my trunk.

Chloe: Oh, okay.

[Chuckles] Ooh, what–what is that smell?

Philip: It’s your present.

Chloe: My present? Is it manure?

Philip: Yep.

Chloe: [Laughs] That’s so romantic.

Philip: It’s for our tree. Uh, you said you wanted to see it. I thought I’d take you over there, and we’d give it some love.

Chloe: Okay, that sounds great, but what about dinner?

Philip: Well, like you said, it’s getting cold, so I was thinking I’ll take you out on the town, show you a night you’ll never forget. What do you say?

Chloe: I say that sounds like fun. Let’s do it.

[Slow tense music]

Steve: Whoa, whoa, whoa, buddy, what the hell? Where do you think you’re going?

John: I gotta find marlena!

Steve: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Okay, okay, the cops are on it.

John: They’re not. I talked to eli. They’ve got nothing, and my girl needs me, partner.

Steve: She does, and you know what that means? It means you’ve gotta take care of yourself, so she has a husband to come home to. All right? Hold on a second. Whoa! Get back in there. What do you think you’re doing?

John: Come on, man.

Steve: Hey, hey. Hydrate.

John: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Steve: Come on.

John: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Steve: There you go.

John: [Exhales]

Steve: That’s what your doctor kayla said you need. This and rest.

John: I’ll tell you what i need. I need some answers.

Steve: Okay, we’re going to get some.

John: All right, let’s start with you.

Steve: What? What about me?

John: How the hell did you find me in that crypt?

Steve: Your grandson johnny.

John: Excuse me?

Steve: I ran into johnny on thanksgiving, and he told me that he and allie on halloween found an old ouija board, and the ouija board told them that the devil was in salem, specifically in the dimera crypt. And he also mentioned that marlena was in there, dressed in a devil costume no less. Now, she wouldn’t let him in, but he didn’t think anything of it.

John: Mm. But you did.

Steve: I did.

John: [Chuckles]

Steve: Nothing about marlena was adding up, man. She was acting so strange, I was afraid maybe hattie was taking over her life again.

John: Ah, geez, man, what’s it coming to when hattie adams is the best-case scenario?

Steve: I’ve been trying to wrap my head around all this. Didn’t you exorcise marlena back then?

John: Yeah, I did.

Steve: Okay.

John: And I suppose-and I’m just–just guessing here, ’cause I wasn’t a real priest at the time, maybe the exorcism didn’t fully take?

Steve: Is that how it works?

John: I don’t know, man. I don’t know. I–I don’t know why the devil has decided to come back now, but if we knew what he wanted, I think we can figure out where marlena is right now.

Gabriel: It’s nice to meet you.

Ben: You too.

[Disquieting music]

Gabriel: And who might you be?

Marlena: Did john send you? Is that why you’re here?

Gabriel: Who’s john?

Ben: Uh, dr. Evans, you don’t have to worry. If john knew where we were right now, he’d be here himself.

Marlena: I’m just saying, you can’t be too careful.

Ciara: Well, I don’t know about the rest of you, but I am starving. Gabriel, would you like to stay for lunch?

Gabriel: I am famished, actually.

Ciara: Well, I am craving pimiento cheese and olives, but we’re just gonna have to settle for lunch meat and peanut butter.

Ben: Oh, some non-pregnant people food.

Ciara: Mm-hmm.

Gabriel: You’re with child? Congratulations.

Ciara: Aw, thank you.

Gabriel: When’s the blessed event?

Ciara: Uh, well, not for a few months.

Gabriel: That’s–that’s lovely and–and so unique.

Ciara: Oh, thank you. Uh, marlena actually gifted it to us. It’s supposed to help the angels watch over our baby.

Gabriel: What a thoughtful gift.

Paulina: I will stand here all day if I have to. You know that I will. Was it so hard? You here to see john black?

Abe: Yes, I am.

Paulina: Well, I just spoke with him myself.

Abe: Why?

Paulina: Because I danced with the devil and lived to tell the tale.

Abe: I beg your pardon?

Paulina: [Scoffs] How is it that the mayor of salem hasn’t heard? Marlena has been possessed by satan again. John, he just confirmed it.

Abe: Oh, my god. That explains that apb.

Paulina: Mm-hmm, and that explains what happened at our wedding. The devil, he wanted to come between us, and that’s just what he did.

Abe: You’re right. Lies come straight from the devil, and the lie started with you. If you’ll excuse me.

[Solemn music]

Paulina: Wait!

Lani: I understand the love that it took for you to commit to raise me. You pretty much saved auntie p’s life and probably mine too. And I get why you chose to keep her secret when I jumped to the conclusion that abe was my father. I get it…with my head. But my heart? The lies of it all these years? Everything that I thought that I knew about us?

[Sighs] I–I should go. Um, I’ll talk to you soon. Yeah, okay. I love you too.

[Door opens]

[Sniffles]

Eli: Baby, what’s wrong?

[Somber music]

[Exhales, sniffles]

Paulina: Abraham?

[Solemn music]

Yep, it’s me.

Abe: I see.

Paulina: And you, uh, need to move a hell of a lot faster than that if you’re going to outrun me, which, it doesn’t look like it’s going to happen even with that fine walking stick of yours, so, why don’t you take a load off and listen to what i have to say?

Abe: [Sighs] You have one minute.

Like many people with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis

Paulina: Abraham, I’m so very sorry.

Abe: I think you need to fast-forward to something i haven’t heard before.

Paulina: Fine. I’ll–I’ll do that.

[Solemn music]

So, when I made my decision with my mama to give my baby to tamara all those years ago, i never even knew you existed. I certainly didn’t know that I’d meet you and fall in love or that my lie would break your heart. I debated a million times whether or not to tell the truth, and in the end I–i decided that it would be–the kindest thing I could do was for you and lani–

Abe: To lie through your teeth?

Paulina: No–hey, now listen to me–

Abe: You have three seconds left.

Paulina: You were the best thing that’s ever happened to me, abraham carver, and I love you with my whole heart. Can you ever find it in your heart to forgive me?

Eli: Baby, what happened?

Lani: [Sighs] I just, um, talked to my mother. I mean, tamara. Where are the twins?

Eli: No, I–I ran into allie and henry at the park. She offered to babysit the twins for a while. She’s going to bring them back later.

Lani: Oh, okay, that was really sweet of her.

Eli: Yeah, it was.

Lani: You put their–their car seats in her car?

Eli: Yes, I–I did. Look, uh, are you going to tell me? What did tamara say to get you so upset?

Lani: That she loves me, even though my whole life has been a lie.

Eli: I hope you know that that love is real.

Lani: I do. It’s just–it’s just I’m not the only one who’s gotten hurt. I spread that lie to abe, that he was my father. And now his heart is broken too.

Eli: What happened between you two after I left?

[Soft music]

Lani: He was wonderful. Of course he was. He’s just so wonderful. And he said that I will always be his daughter, and nothing will ever change that.

Eli: I hope you know that he means it, lani.

Lani: Kristen said the same thing.

Eli: Kri–what–you saw kristen?

Lani: Yeah, I went down to the station while you were watching jules and carver. I wanted to say goodbye before they took her to statesville. And I know you are not crazy about our friendship, but I–I– just–

Eli: Baby, I got a call from the warden. Kristen never showed up to the prison.

[Ominous music]

Philip: Looking forward to the day our little tree gets big enough and we carve our initials into it.

Chloe: Me too.

Philip: Oh, my god.

Chloe: Where’s the tree?

Philip: It looks like someone’s ripped it out of the ground.

Chloe: Who would do something like that?

Do you think maybe it was an accident?

Philip: What’s this?

It’s inscribed. Belongs to…

Chloe: Brady.

John: [Groans]

Steve: No more nonsense.

John: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Steve: Relax.

John: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Steve: Now, what you said about finding out what the devil wants, you have any ideas?

John: Yeah, I’ve been giving that a lot of thought, partner. I’m not sure I’m any closer to an answer, though. No discernible patterns, just– just a lot of random widespread chaos and misery seems to be part of the plan.

Steve: Well, that’s a given. Anything specific?

John: Well, I’ll give you one off. Brady went to marlena to confide in her that he’s got feelings for chloe, so her advice to him was take her to bed, more accurately take her on top of the basic black conference table.

Steve: [Laughs] That was her advice? Isn’t chloe with philip?

John: Exactly. So, you see, just stirring up trouble. But, you know what, I’m starting to think that this is just nothing but a sideshow to whatever the devil’s big plan is. That’s why we gotta find doc, so we can stop it before it’s too late.

Steve: Well, if the devil can turn susan banks into a cat and marlena into a panther, how are we going to find her?

John: Well, here’s the thing, the beast needs marlena. The parasite needs a host. And yeah, he can use other bodies, but he has to keep coming back to marlena, until he either gets what he wants or we stop him.

Steve: So, aside from an exorcism, how the hell did you send him back the last time?

John: Faith, prayer, love, a lot of help from–from friends and family and–and father francis and gabriel.

Steve: Who’s that?

John: Gabriel. He was, uh–he was a guy that i met, a guy that…

[Soft music]

Turned out to be my guardian angel.

Steve: A real live angel, huh? Wings? Flaming sword? The whole thing?

John: Denim. A regular guy.

Steve: So, what does this regular guy do? He go mano a mano with the devil for you?

John: Nah, nothing like that. In fact, he said he couldn’t tell me what I was fighting or how to fight, but I know for a fact that he was watching over me the whole time, and he was the one who gave me the strength that I needed.

[Chuckles] So, where are you now, gabriel?

Ciara: Lunch should be ready soon.

[Soft tense music]

Gabriel: Lovely day, isn’t it?

Devil: He sent you, didn’t he?

Gabriel: God? Yes. It’s not the first time. I helped john defeat you 25 years ago, and he will do it again.

[Foreboding music]

Serena: It’s my 3:10

Abe: No. I don’t forgive you.

[Soft guitar music]

Paulina: Then you’d be calling your friend john black a liar.

Abe: What are you talking about?

Paulina: Well, I might have discussed our situation with john, and he told me that you’re one of the most forgiving people he’s ever known.

Abe: I haven’t talked to john about this. He doesn’t know how I feel.

Paulina: Well, I’m sorry if I’m telling tales out of school, but, uh, he told me that your wife, your late wife, god rest her soul, she pulled her own share of shenanigans, and not to speak ill of the dead–

Abe: Then don’T. Lexie was the love of my life.

Paulina: And I’m not. I know that. And believe me, I’m under no delusion that I’m the next lexie carver. I’m the one and only me. I go big or I go home.

Abe: No one ever accused you of not going for what you want, the rest of us be damned.

Paulina: Lani’s bio-daddy made me feel small, ashamed, trapped. I fought for my life, my soul, my spirit, so that I would never be in that place again and neither would lani. And I’m damn proud I fought my way out, and I’m even prouder that I was able to give my little girl the best possible life I could. God was kind. He gave me love again and my baby chanel. When I lost her father, I–i accepted life alone. Then, a bolt out of the blue, and you came along.

[Sighs] I met the best man I had ever known. And I took that lie to what we had, and I lost you and both my daughters. Now that–that takes true talent.

Abe: Yes. Yes, it does. So, if you’ll excuse me.

Paulina: Abraham, abraham, I, uh, gave you your daughter, then I took her away, but would it have been better if you didn’t have her at all?

Abe: No, of course not. I love her.

Paulina: And lani feels the same way about you. You never disappointed her. You never lied to her. You’ve never been anything but wise and honorable and loving. Lani feels that she can’t count on me or my sister or my mama. Lord knows when she’ll ever trust us again. But you, thank god she has you. Now, no matter what, whatever goes on between us, whether it’s over or not, please, please, never turn your back on her.

[Dramatic string music]

Devil: I’ve always hated that about you and your type, that holier-than-thou thing, as if there’s anything you can do. You’re not allowed to interfere in human affairs.

Gabriel: I can let you know you’re being watched.

[Dark ambient music]

I know you want that baby, and I know why.

Devil: And you can’t say a word to them.

Gabriel: I cannot warn them of the threat you pose, but i assure you, god is not going to allow any harm to come to that child.

Devil: I wouldn’t get too cocky if I were you. I don’t know if you’ve notice, but my power has grown. Take a look around, gabe. The world is in chaos. Disease, war, brother against brother, and so much of it in the name of your boss. So, threaten me all you want. I’m feeling pretty good about my chances.

Gabriel: Only because you fail to see the immense power of the hope, the faith, the light that good people like ben and ciara, the world over, give life to every day. That’s where god’s strength comes from and why he will always be more powerful than you, and that’s why love will prevail.

Philip: This explains it. It must have been brady who tore our tree out of the ground.

Chloe: It doesn’t make any sense. Why would he do that?

Philip: Because he’s jealous of us, chloe. He wants you all to himself, and he can’t stand the fact that you chose me. Think about it. His anger, paranoia, his jealousy that he accuses me of? No, he’s been projecting all of it, trying to make me the bad guy.

Chloe: Look, I know that there were some issues in the beginning, but ever since brady understood that I’m with you, he’s been nothing but respectful of our relationship.

Philip: You’re defending him?

Chloe: Phil, come on. Brady could not do something like this. He would–he would never do something so juvenile.

Philip: This is his watch, chloe. What more evidence do you need?

Chloe: I–it’s–it’s weird, okay? I just ran into brady at the pub, and he was wearing this watch.

Philip: Oh, so you just happened to run into him at the pub and you just happened to notice his watch?

Chloe: I work with the guy every day, and I used to be married to him at one point. I know he only takes this off if he’s getting in the shower or getting into bed.

Philip: So, if you know him so well and you think he’s such a great guy, how do you explain this?

Chloe: I can’T.

Philip: You know what i think? I think you ran into your ex-husband when you were picking up dinner, a romantic dinner for two, and I think that bastard flipped out and came straight here.

Chloe: To rip out our tree?

Philip: Isn’t it obvious?

Chloe: No, brady was picking up dinner to bring to his father who’s in the hospital. I’m sure he’s there right now.

Philip: Or maybe he lied to you. You ever think about that? Or is he too damn perfect to lie?

Chloe: Okay, I don’t know what’s gotten into you, but I’m gonna prove you wrong.

Philip: Where are you going?

Chloe: To the hospital to straighten this all out.

Philip: Yeah, well, good luck with that. I don’t think you’re gonna find brady there.

Chloe: I guess we’ll see.

Philip: I’m gonna report this vandalism to park service.

[Tense percussive music]

[Grunts]

Hi susan! Honey?

Lani: Kristen never made it to statesville? What happened?

Eli: I don’t know. I got a call on my way home. The van, it just seems to vanish into thin air. We have units searching, but… lani, either there’s been an accident or–

Lani: Or–or–or kristen escaped. You don’t think I had anything to do with it, do you? Because I swear I didn’T. We–we had a nice conversation. We said our goodbyes. Then I left. That’s it.

Eli: I believe you.

Lani: You know what, I think I have an idea of where kristen might have gone.

Abe: I’ve spoken to lani, and she knows that she is my daughter in every way that matters. I am so grateful and blessed to have her in my life. Nothing will ever change between us.

Paulina: No. Thank god for that. Well, abraham, do you think there’s–is there any chance for us?

[Soft music]

Abraham: Just like I can’t turn off my love for lani– god knows–not that I would ever want to–I can’t turn off–can’t turn it off for you either.

Paulina: What? What–what are you saying? Are–are you–you saying…

Abe: Oh, god, help me. I still love you.

Ben: Lunch is served.

Ciara: Mmm, I’m sorry for it being such a basic meal.

Gabriel: It’s always lovely to break bread with fellow travelers. Shall we say grace? Marlena, would you like to do the honors?

[Haunting music]

Trelegy for copd.

Paulina: You still love me? Oh, abraham…

[Poignant music]

Abe: This is–this is very different than being able to trust you again. This isn’t the first time that you have told me a life-altering lie, and this one is bigger and more appalling than the last. At least it wasn’t about greed this time. I…

I–I–I just can’t put–I don’t know that I can put… my heart at risk again.

Paulina: But you love me. Now we can work on the trust, right? Tell me, abraham. Tell me, is–is there something I can do, whatever it is, whatever it takes, to–to help you trust me again?

Lani: Kristen tried to take rachel and run the last time she escaped from statesville. I’m guessing this is the first place she would come to.

Eli: Yeah, especially since john and marlena are not around, it’d be easy for kristen to get in and out with her daughter.

Lani: Let’s just hope we’re not too late.

Eli: Police! Open up!

Steve: Okay, partner, so, what is our next move?

John: Well, eli said that his men reached out to all of marlena’s contacts. Nothing there. Nothing on security footage, no sightings anywhere.

Steve: So, we need to take it to the next level. We need to supercharge this bad boy.

John: That’s a fact.

[Knocking on door]

Yeah?

Chloe: Hi.

John: Hey.

Chloe: Hey, sorry to interrupt.

John: No, no, not at all. Come on in.

Chloe: I’m glad to see that you’re feeling better.

John: Yeah, almost perfect.

Chloe: [Chuckles]

Steve: Yeah, emphasis on the “almost.”

Chloe: Mm. Uh, did, uh, brady drop off your food already?

John: Nah, not yet, and if he doesn’t get here soon, that chowder’s going to be stone cold.

Chloe: Maybe philip was right.

John: What was that?

Chloe: Uh–uh, nothing. I’m sorry, I actually have to run.

John: Thanks for dropping in. Take care.

Steve: Bye.

John: [Scoffs]

[Door closes]

[Solemn music]

Philip: [Grunts]

Chloe: Brady, seriously, I mean it. You cannot tell anybody what happened here last night. I mean–

Brady: [Stammers] I know what you mean. I know. You’re referring to the sex that happened on the conference table. Okay, listen, I’m–I am not gonna tell a soul about it. It’ll be our secret, okay?

Chloe: When brady told me what you and lucas saw, I just– I assumed that you were going to just fly into another jealous rage, and when you didn’t mention anything, I was relieved. I took it as a sign that you finally trust me.

Philip: I’ve learned my lesson, chloe. I know how important trust is in a relationship. Once it’s broken, it’s all over.

If I can’t have chloe, you can’t either! You son of a bitch!

Why give your family just ordinary eggs

Abe: There’s nothing you can do, paulina. I just need time.

Paulina: Okay, I’ll–I’ll– you just–you take all the time, all the time that you need. I’m just–I’ll just keep on loving you, and I’ll be right here whenever you’re ready. I’ll just–I’ll–I’ll wait forever.

Abe: I have to go.

Paulina: Well, thanks. Thanks for hearing me out. You know, it’s all I can ask.

[Poignant music]

Marlena: Of course. I’d be delighted to say grace.

Gabriel: Shall we join hands?

[Ominous music]

Marlena: [Clears throat]

Bless us, oh lord, for these thy gifts which we are about to receive from thy bounty, through christ, our lord. Amen.

All: Amen.

Eli: Anything?

Lani: Nothing. You?

Eli: No, but I just scared the living daylights out of rachel’s babysitter.

Lani: [Exhales] Thank god. Rachel was here.

Eli: They’re napping, but the sitter said there’s no sign of kristen or brady for that matter.

[Soft solemn music]

Steve: Nothing?

John: No, brady’s not answering. I don’t like it. It’s not like him to bail.

Steve: Well, come on, he’s a busy guy, isn’t he? Yeah, he’s, uh–you know, something might have come up with rachel or the job. Hey, his ex is on her way to prison today. He probably just got sidetracked.

John: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I’m sure that’s it, yeah.

Steve: Hey, don’t let your imagination run wild. I’m sure brady’s just fine.

Chloe: Oh–oh, my god. Oh, my god, brady! Brady! Brady, brady, wake up. Brady, wake up.

Days of Our Lives Update

Update written by Joseph

Paulina goes to leave the hospital right as Abe arrives off of the elevator. Abe turns around to leave but Paulina stops him and says he should know by now that he can’t run away from her.

Eli is at the police station when he gets a call from John, asking for an update on Marlena. Eli informs him that they checked security footage but there’s no indication of which direction she went and there’s been no sighting of her since. Eli says that have interviewed contacts but still nothing. John warns that Marlena can camouflage herself and change her shape or form. John adds that force won’t do any good and handcuffs won’t do any good as Shawn found out. Eli questions how they are supposed to bring Marlena in then and asks if they should douse her with holy water. John tells him to just find her first and they will figure out the rest but they are running out of time.

There is then a knock at the cabin door. Ciara asks what to do. Ben goes to answer it but Devil Marlena comes back and begs him not to because they don’t know who it is. Marlena says it’s the middle of nowhere in the middle of winter so she pleads with him not t o open the door. The knocking continues so Ciara looks out the window and says it looks like it’s just a hiker. Marlena worries that he could be with John and it could just be a trap. Ben promises that they won’t let anything happen to her but whoever is at the door knows they are in there and he’s not going away. Ben then answers the door and asks the man what he can do for him.

Brady tells Tate that he wishes he could’ve been there to see him get that winning goal. Brady tells him he’s proud of him and plans to video chat over the weekend. Brady tells Tate that he loves him. As Brady hangs up the phone, Philip sneaks up behind him and knocks him out with a crowbar.

At the Kiriakis Mansion, Chloe calls Philip, leaving a message asking where he is since she’s back with the food and he’s not here. Chloe says no one knew he left and asks where he is.

Philip sees that Chloe called and calls her a cheating bitch as he then drags Brady’s body away from the Pub.

The man at the cabin says he needs some water so Ciara invites him inside and hands him a water bottle. Ben notes that they don’t see too many people around this part of the woods. He says he comes here every year for spiritual renewal but the stream of water was desecrated. Ciara offers to refill his bottle. Ben says they are happy to help as he and Ciara introduce themselves. The man responds that his name is Gabriel after the archangel. Ciara mentions Julie praying to St. Gabriel while Devil Marlena is annoyed.

Philip comes home and questions Chloe eating without him. Chloe asks where he was since the food was getting cold. Philip claims he went to get her a present and had to find the right thing but it’s in the trunk. Chloe questions the bad smell. Philip says it’s for the tree since she wanted to go see it so he thought they’d go give it some love. Chloe asks about dinner. Philip notes that she said it’s getting cold so he figured he’d take her out for a night on the town and show her a night she’ll never forget. Chloe decides that sounds like fun and agrees so they exit together.

Steve goes to John’s hospital room and finds John trying to escape from his hospital bed. Steve stops him from getting up. John complains that he has to find Marlena since the police have nothing and she needs him. Steve says that means that John has to take care of himself so Marlena has a husband to come home to. Steve reminds him that Kayla said he needs water and rest. John wants answers and questions how Steve found him in the Crypt. Steve reveals it was John’s grandson Johnny as he ran in to him on Thanksgiving, and Johnny told him that he and Allie found an old Ouija board on Halloween and the board told them that the Devil was in Salem in the DiMera Crypt then he found Marlena there dressed in a devil costume but she wouldn’t let him in. Steve says nothing about Marlena was adding up and she was acting so strange that he thought maybe Hattie took over her life again. Steve says he’s trying to wrap his head around all of this and brings up John exorcising Marlena back then. John guesses since he wasn’t a real priest, the exorcism didn’t fully take. John doesn’t know why the Devil has decided to come back now, but if they knew what he wanted then he thinks they could figure out where Marlena is now.

Gabriel tells Ben and Ciara that it’s nice to meet them and then asks who Marlena is. Marlena asks if John sent him and that’s why he’s here. Gabriel asks who John is. Ben tells Marlena not to worry because if John knew where they were, he’d be there himself. Marlena says they can’t be too careful. Ciara mentions being starving and invites Gabriel to stay for lunch which he agrees to. Ciara says all they have is lunch meat and peanut butter. Gabriel congratulates Ciara on her pregnancy and asks when this blessed event is. Ciara says it’s not for a few months. Gabriel compliments Ciara’s necklace. Ciara says Marlena gifted it to them to help the angels watch over their baby. Gabriel calls it a thoughtful gift as Devil Marlena glares at him.

Paulina tells Abe that she will stand here all day if she has to and asks Abe if he came to see John which he confirms. Paulina says she just spoke with John herself because she danced with the Devil and lived to tell the tale which Abe questions. Paulina can’t believe the mayor of Salem hasn’t heard that Marlena has been possessed by Satan again and John just confirmed it. Abe realizes that explains the APB. Paulina says that’s what happened at their wedding as the Devil wanted to come between them and he did. Abe agrees, declaring that liars come straight from the Devil and the lie started with her. Abe then walks away. Paulina goes after him.

Lani sits at home on the phone with Tamara. Lani understands the love it took for Tamara to commit to raising her and acknowledges that she probably saved her and Paulina’s lives. Lani gets why Tamara chose to keep the secret with her head but not her heart. Lani says she has to go and will talk to her soon. Lani hangs up as Eli comes home and asks what’s wrong. Lani hugs him as she cries.

Paulina follows Abe in to a waiting room at the hospital, joking that he can’t outrun her so he should just listen to what she has to say. Abe gives her one minute. Paulina tells Abe that she’s so very sorry. Abe thinks she needs to fast forward to something he hasn’t heard before. Paulina tells Abe that when she made the decision to give her baby to Tamara, she never knew Abe existed or that she would meet him, fall in love, and that her lie would break his heart. Paulina talks about debating telling the truth. Abe argues that she lied through her teeth and gives her three seconds. Paulina calls him the best thing to ever happen to her and says she loves him with her whole heart. Paulina asks if Abe can ever find it in his heart to forgive her.

Eli asks Lani what happened. Lani responds that she just talked to Tamara. Lani asks where the twins are. Eli says he ran in to Allie at the park, so she offered to babysit and bring them back later. Lani notes that was sweet of her. Eli asks what Tamara said to get Lani so upset. Lani cries that she said she loves her even though her whole life has been a lie. Eli assures that love is real. Lani cries that she’s not the only one who got hurt since she spread that lie to Abe and now his heart is broken too. Eli asks what happened between her and Abe after he left. Lani admits Abe was wonderful and said she’ll always be his daughter. Eli knows he means it. Lani mentions that Kristen said the same thing. Eli questions her seeing Kristen. Lani explains that she went to see her at the station to say goodbye before she was taken to prison. Lani knows Eli is not crazy about their friendship. Eli then reveals that he got a call from the warden and Kristen never showed up to the prison.

Philip and Chloe go to the park but finds their tree gone. Philip remarks that it looks like someone ripped it out of the ground. Chloe wonders who would do something like that. Philip thinks back to ripping it out of the ground. Chloe asks if he thinks maybe it was an accident. Philip then finds Brady’s watch on the ground nearby.

Steve asks John if he has any idea what the Devil wants. John says he’s been giving it a lot of thought but isn’t sure of an answer. John adds that there’s no pattern and just a lot of widespread random chaos and misery. Steve asks if there’s anything specific. John brings up how Devil Marlena advised Brady to take Chloe on top of the Basic Black conference table, so it’s just been stirring up trouble. John thinks it’s nothing but a sideshow to whatever the Devil’s big plan is which is why they have to find Marlena to stop it before it’s too late. Steve questions how to find her. John says the beast needs Marlena as the parasite needs a host. John adds that he can use other bodies but has to keep coming back to Marlena until he gets what he wants or they stop him. Steve asks how John sent him back the last time. John says it was faith, prayer, and a lot of help from friends and family. John brings up Father Francis and Gabriel which Steve questions. John mentions that Gabriel was a guy that he met, who turned out to be his guardian angel. Steve questions that. John says Gabriel was just a regular guy. Steve asks if Gabriel went against the Devil for him. John says it was nothing like that but he told him that he couldn’t say what he was fighting or how to fight, but he knows for a fact that Gabriel was watching over him the whole time and he is the one that gave him the strength that he needed. John wonders aloud where Gabriel is now…

Ciara and Ben prepare lunch while Gabriel goes over to Marlena and comments on it being a lovely day. Devil Marlena’s inner thoughts guess that he sent Gabriel. Gabriel’s inner thoughts reveal that God did send him as he helped John defeat him over 20 years ago and he will do it again.

Abe tells Paulina that he does not forgive her. Paulina responds that he’d be calling John a liar then which Abe questions. Paulina admits she discussed her situation with John and he told her that Abe is one of the most forgiving people he’s ever known. Abe argues that he hasn’t talked to John about this so he doesn’t know how he feels. Paulina reveals that John told her that Lexie pulled her share of shenanigans. Abe stops her and says Lexie was the love of his life. Paulina knows that she’s not the next Lexie Carver. Abe remarks that she just goes for what she wants, the rest of them be damned. Paulina brings up how Lani’s dad made her feel small, ashamed, and trapped, so she fought for her life, soul, and spirit to never be in that place again and neither would Lani. Paulina declares that she’s proud that she fought her way out and that she was able to give her daughter the best possible life she could. Paulina says God was kind and gave her another daughter in Chanel but when she lost Chanel’s father, she accepted life alone until Abe came along. Paulina says he is the best man she ever knew and then that lie caused her to lose him and both of her daughters. Abe starts to leave but Paulina stops him and acknowledges that she gave him a daughter and then took her away. Paulina asks if it would’ve been better if he never had Lani at all. Abe says of course not as he loves her. Paulina notes that Lani feels the same about him. Paulina is thankful that Lani has Abe and asks him to never turn his back on her.

The Devil and Gabriel’s inner voices continue. The Devil remarks that he’s always hated Gabriel’s holier than thou thing as if there’s anything he can do. He warns that Gabriel is not allowed to interfere in human affairs. Gabriel responds that he can let him know that he’s being watched. Gabriel knows the Devil wants that baby and he knows why. The Devil says he can’t say a word to them. Gabriel says he can’t warn them of the threat but assures that God won’t let any harm come to that child. The Devil suggests he not get too cocky since his power has grown. The Devil talks about the world being in chaos so he’s feeling pretty good about his chances. Gabriel argues that the Devil fails to see the immense power of the hope, faith, and light of good people like Ben and Ciara. Gabriel says that’s where God’s strength comes from and why he will always be more powerful than the Devil and why love will prevail.

Philip picks up Brady’s watch and says this explains that it must have been Brady who tore their tree out of the ground. Chloe says it doesn’t make any sense and asks why he would do that. Philip claims Brady is jealous, wants her all to himself, and can’t stand the fact that she chose him. Philip argues that Brady’s jealous, paranoid, and angry while trying to make him the bad guy. Chloe knows there were issues in the beginning but says he’s been nothing but respectful of their relationship. Philip questions her defending him. Chloe insists that Brady would never do something as juvenile as this. Philip asks what more evidence she needs than his watch. Chloe mentions just running in to Brady at the Pub and he was wearing the watch. Philip questions her just happening to run in to him at the Pub and noticing his watch. Chloe says she works with Brady every day and was married to him at one point, so she knows he only takes it off to get in the shower or get in bed. Philip questions how she explains this then. Chloe admits that she can’t. Philip suggests that Chloe ran in to Brady while picking up their romantic dinner which made Brady flip out and come straight here to rip out their tree. Chloe tells him that Brady was picking up dinner for John in the hospital, so she’s sure he’s there now. Philip suggests Brady could have lied to her or asks if he’s too perfect to lie. Chloe doesn’t know what has gotten in to him but says she’s going to prove him wrong. Philip asks where she is going. Chloe responds that she’s going to the hospital to straighten this all out. Philip wishes her luck as he doesn’t think she’s going to find Brady there. Chloe guesses they will see. Philip shouts that he’s going to report this vandalism to park services.

Lani questions Kristen never making it to prison and what happened. Eli says he doesn’t know as he got a call on his way home and the van seemed to have vanished. Eli says either there was an accident or Kristen escaped. Lani swears she had nothing to do with it as they had a nice conversation, they said goodbye, and she left. Eli believes her. Lani thinks she has an idea as to where Kristen might have gone.

Abe informs Paulina that he spoke to Lani and she knows that she’s his daughter in every way that matters. Abe says he’s so grateful and blessed to have her in his life and nothing will ever change between them. Paulina is thankful for that and asks if there’s any chance for them. Abe responds that he can’t turn off his love for Lani and he’d never want to, but he can’t turn it off for Paulina either. Paulina asks what he’s saying. Abe then admits that he still loves her.

Ben and Ciara finish making lunch. Gabriel comments on it being lovely to break bread with fellow travelers. Gabriel asks Marlena if she wants to say grace.

Paulina is relieved to hear Abe still loves her. Abe calls it very different from being able to trust her again as this is not the first time she’s told him a life altering lie and this one is bigger and more appalling than the last. Abe says at least it wasn’t about greed this time but he doesn’t know if he can put his heart at risk again. Paulina argues that if he loves her, they can work on trust. Paulina wants to do whatever it takes to help him trust her again.

Lani and Eli go to John and Marlena’s, because Kristen tried to abduct Rachel the last time she escaped. Eli notes that John and Marlena aren’t around so it’d be easier for Kristen to get in and out with Rachel. Lani hopes they aren’t too late as Eli knocks on the door.

Steve asks John what their next move is. John says that Eli said they’ve reached out to contacts and there’s no security footage or sightings. Steve feels they need to take it to the next level. Chloe enters and says she’s sorry to interrupt but is glad to see John is feeling better. John says he’s almost perfect. Chloe asks if Brady dropped off his food already. John says not yet and if he doesn’t get there soon, the chowder is going to be cold. Chloe worries that Philip was right and rushes back out.

Philip drags Brady’s body in to the woods and thinks back to overhearing he and Chloe talking about not telling anyone about the sex that happened on the conference table. Philip thinks back to Chloe telling Philip that she felt he finally trusted her and him telling her about how important trust is in a relationship. Philip screams that if he can’t have Chloe, Brady can’t either. Philip calls him a son of a bitch and pulls out a knife.

Abe tells Paulina that there is nothing she can do as he just needs time. Paulina tells him to take all the time he needs and she’ll just keep on loving him and she’ll be here when he’s ready. Paulina declares that she will wait forever. Abe says he has to go. Paulina thanks him for hearing her out as that’s all she can ask. Abe then exits the room.

Marlena agrees to say grace. Gabriel suggests they join hands but Marlena opts not to. Marlena then says the prayer.

Eli and Lani search John and Marlena’s but find nothing. Eli notes that he just scared Rachel’s babysitter, who said there’s been no sign of Kristen or Brady.

John tries calling Brady but he’s not answering. John doesn’t like it and says it’s not like him. Steve suggests Brady is a busy guy and something could have come up with Rachel, his job, or Kristen going to prison. Steve encourages that Brady just got sidetracked and assures that he’s just fine.

Chloe finds Brady’s body stabbed in the woods with the knife nearby.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[Soft dramatic music]

Gwen: Xander, what’s going on?

Xander: I just got a call from kristen dimera. Turns out, sarah never betrayed me. She never stopped loving me. She never ran away with rex. It was all a setup! She’s trapped on some remote island. I’m gonna rescue her.

Gwen: But what about us?

Xander: There is no us. Not anymore.

Gwen: [Gasps]

Xander: Gwen, what’s wrong?

Chad: I just talked to your lawyer.

Kristen: The lawyer that ej hired because he’s too cowardly to represent me himself? Too scared of bad publicity? Just tell me what they said.

Chad: He, uh– he did everything he could to keep you here until the trial, but, uh, the judge wouldn’t go for it.

Kristen: [Scoffs] All right, what do we do now?

Chad: I’m sorry, but, uh, looks like you’re headed back to statesville.

[Monitor beeping]

Ej: Mother, I’m sorry. I’m so sorry for everything.

[Knock at door]

Nicole: Hey.

Ej: Nicole.

Nicole: I came as soon as I heard about susan. How is she?

Ej: She’s gonna be okay, thank god.

Nicole: And how are you? Are you okay?

[Tense music]

Sami: Oh, god.

[Groans] I am about to freaking lose it. Let me out. Hey! Can you hear me? Let me out of here! I have to get the hell out of here!

Male announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “days of our lives.”

[Soft orchestration]

Ej: Of course I’m okay. It’s my mother I’m worried about.

Nicole: Well, I heard she’s gonna make a full recovery, so that’s wonderful.

Ej: Mm.

Nicole: But you look like you’ve been through the wringer. Did you get any slept?

Ej: [Sighs] She was so scared, she didn’t want me to leave. She was convinced the devil was coming back. Kept crying out to satan to stay away from her elvis. She finally fell asleep before you arrived.

Nicole: Did she have another psychotic breakdown?

Ej: Let’s step outside.

Nicole: Sure.

[Dramatic music]

Sami: You know, you could just give me a little warning next time. You almost knocked me over.

Jason: [Laughs] Well, next time, I’ll call out, “it’s me, jason, your favorite guard.”

Sami: [Laughs] Don’t flatter yourself.

Jason: Ah, someone’s in a good mood this morning, huh?

Sami: Well, you’re late and empty-handed. Where’s my breakfast?

Jason: Ah, you don’t get breakfast today.

Sami: Why not? You’ve been keeping me here for three months. Obviously, your job is to keep me alive.

Jason: Well, you don’t get breakfast today ’cause you’ve been a very bad girl.

Sami: What are you talking about?

Jason: Well, you don’t get what you want until I get what I want.

[Laughs] Why give your family just ordinary eggs

Sami: Okay, jason, I’ll play your stupid game. What do you want?

Jason: My phone.

Sami: Sorry?

Jason: The burner phone you stole from me. Did a little inventory and realized it was missing. Where is it?

Sami: I have no idea what you’re talking about.

Jason: I think you do. And if you don’t hand it over, I’ll do something a lot worse than just deprive you of some food.

Sami: Fine. It’s not gonna do you any good anyway. It’s dead.

Jason: [Chuckles] Oh, really? Let’s just bring it back to life, shall we? Who’d you call last night?

Sami: My mother.

Jason: And you’re still in here?

[Laughs] She must not give a damn about you, huh?

Sami: For your information, she was desperate to try to help me. But she can’t because she’s in trouble too. She’s in a lot of trouble. You have a mother, don’t you, jason?

Jason: What’s your point?

Sami: What would you do if she was alone, if your mother was alone and terrified and in grave danger? You would do anything you could to help her, wouldn’t you? That’s all I’m asking for. Please. Please, I know you have a heart in there. Just asking for you to let me get back to the people that I love.

Ej: [Sighs, clears throat] I–I was celebrating thanksgiving with anna and tony when steve johnson suddenly turned up with my mother.

Nicole: Oh, my god. Where did he find her?

Ej: In one of the family crypts. Apparently, he’d come looking for john black and found the two of them in there. I called 911, and they were able to stabilize mother in the ambulance. But when I first saw her with steve, all pale and lifeless, I just kept telling her to hang on.

Nicole: And she did.

Ej: When she opened her eyes, she was so happy to see me.

Nicole: Mm.

Ej: Overcome with relief.

Nicole: So let me see if I have this right. Susan thought satan wanted you dead?

Ej: The story she told me was quite convoluted. Something about marlena being possessed by the devil and demanding my mother kill john black. And if she refused, the devil would kill me.

Nicole: So susan thought if she stabbed herself, then satan would take her instead?

Ej: Something like that.

Nicole: [Sighs] Do you think it was a delusion?

Ej: At first, of course. Marlena isn’t marlena; she’s the devil? It’s impossible. I told my mother as much. But steve disagreed.

Nicole: Did he say why?

Ej: Before he could go into it, he got a text from kayla and he had to step outside.

[Soft dramatic music]

I still can’t believe what she did. The sacrifice she was willing to make.

Nicole: But the threat probably wasn’t real.

Ej: Whether it was or not, she was still willing to die for me. This brave, kind, selfless woman, for all these years, I was ashamed of her, pretended she didn’t exist. Yet she was still willing to sacrifice her life for mine. I don’t deserve it. I don’T.

[Sighs]

Nicole: It’s okay. It’s okay.

Chad: Look at me. Tell me you’re not gonna escape again.

Kristen: Of course not.

Chad: Kristen.

Kristen: No, I’m not. I’m not. It just– look, I just meant that it’s not a given that I’m going to prison. So, you know, I’ve got money. And I can hire a team of lawyers, and they can help me with this appeal.

Chad: Okay. Well, if there’s anything I can do to help, I–I will. But unfortunately, you’re gonna have to start that process from statesville.

Kristen: Well, when are they transferring me?

Chad: Probably today.

Kristen: Oh, god. Okay, in that case, I don’t know, can you get me something to eat? I mean, just something at that little sandwich counter downstairs is fine.

Chad: [Clears throat] Yeah. Of course. All right.

Kristen: Thanks.

Chad: Give me 20 minutes.

Kristen: Okay.

[Suspenseful music]

I’ve lost count of how many asthma attacks I’ve had.

Sami: So you see, my mother is being held against her will. She is chained to a wall.

Jason: Why doesn’t she call the cops? She got a phone.

Sami: I swear to god, if something happens to my mother, I will make you pay!

Jason: You can yell all you want here, lady. No one’s gonna hear you. Let’s just see who you’ve been chatting with, all right? Huh.

Sami: You don’t have to check. I’m happy to tell you.

Jason: So first you called mommy, and then?

Sami: My husband.

Jason: Huh.

Ej: [Sighs] Well, that was embarrassing.

Nicole: No. No, not at all. Just shows you have a heart.

Ej: Was that in doubt?

[Laughs]

Nicole: Well, you don’t normally wear it on your sleeve, so…

Ej: I suppose that’s true. In fact, you’re one of the few people who has ever seen that side of me.

Nicole: I’m honored that you let me.

[Soft dramatic music]

Ava: Mm.

Rafe: Mm, you know, I hate to break this up, but I’ve got to get to work.

Ava: Oh, my god.

Rafe: Yeah, mm-hmm.

Ava: Of course. Of course you do. Oh. Yeah. I guess I need to figure out how I’m gonna be spending my days now that I’m no longer scheming with philip to steal your sister’s company.

Rafe: Oh, yeah. Any ideas?

Ava: Hmm. I need to get a job. But on the up-and-up this time. No threats. No blackmail.

Rafe: That sounds like–yes, I like that, good.

Ava: Good plan?

Rafe: Yeah, good plan.

Ava: I hope you know how grateful I am that you were able to put what I tried to do to gabi in the past.

Rafe: Well, we said that we are putting all our mistakes behind us, right?

Ava: Hmm.

Rafe: Clean slate.

Ava: Right.

Rafe: Right.

Ava: And now that I have another chance, I’m not gonna do anything to mess it up.

Rafe: Same here.

Gwen: Feel better, darling?

Xander: Much. And not only because we just did what we do so very well together but also because whenever I get off track in my head, go to some dark place in the past, you– you just always know what to say and what to do to bring me right back here with you, where I’m so incredibly happy.

Gwen: I’m so glad.

[Sighs] Not to be rude, but would you mind if I just checked my phone for messages? I’m hoping for word from my father.

Xander: Go right ahead.

Gwen: [Sighs]

Gwen: Nothing.

Xander: Well, maybe he, you know, nipped out of town for thanksgiving and he’ll call you when he gets back.

Gwen: Maybe.

Xander: Look, I know how badly you want to repair your relationship with jack. Remember, maggie’s gonna talk to him, try and get him to come around.

Gwen: Yeah, but how much of an effort is she really going to put in? She loves abigail, and she knows that I tried to destroy her life.

Xander: I explained to maggie that you–you’re a different person now. A kind, caring person who only wants to make things right with her family. So please, just be patient, love. And in the meantime, you still got me. I’m not going anywhere.

Gwen: Oi! You said you aren’t going anywhere.

Xander: I’m just gonna, you know, go for a shower. You’re welcome to join if you like.

[Phone rings]

Gwen: Chad? Why are you phoning me?

Kristen: It’s not chad. It’s kristen. Hi sabrina!

Ej: Well, it was nice while it lasted.

Nicole: What do you mean?

Ej: You seeing me as an indomitable force. Powerful, ruthless, unshakable.

Nicole: Oh, no, I still see you and all those things.

[Laughs]

Ej: Even though you witnessed me blubbering like a child?

Nicole: Oh, ej, come on. We talked about this. You know, just because you’re vulnerable doesn’t mean you’re weak. It means that you’re human. And in my eyes, at least, a very attractive human.

Ej: Well, you can hardly blame me for being wary about letting my guard down. I did that with samantha, and you can see where that got me.

Nicole: Speaking of, have you gotten any more calls like you did the other night that you thought it might be sami?

Ej: No, and whoever it was, they never called back. And if they do and it is samantha, I can handle it.

Nicole: But why should you have to? I mean, you’re going through so much already. Although I have to admit, it is strange that you haven’t heard from sami before now.

Ej: Why is that strange? I told her that I didn’t want her in my life anymore.

Nicole: But after you kicked her out, she went to see gabi to ask her if she can move into the mansion so she could badger you into reconciliation. I mean, it was sami’s mission to get you to forgive her. And, what, she just disappears off the face of the earth?

Ej: Apparently so.

Nicole: The only explanation I can come up with is that she decided not to get back together with you. But why? I mean, why would sami do that?

[Dramatic music]

Jason: Why would you call your husband? I mean, your marriage blew up in your face.

Sami: What do you know about my marriage?

Jason: I read the tabloids. Ej dimera threw you out on your ass after you cheated on him with your ex-husband. There’s no way he’s gonna–

Sami: Okay, okay, that–that story was a huge exaggeration, all right? We had a fight. He was upset, with good reason, over my lapse in judgment.

Jason: Lapse in judgment? You slept with a dude behind his back.

Sami: Listen, ej is my husband.

Jason: Uh-huh.

Sami: And even when he’s furious at me, he still loves me. If he knew I was in trouble, he would come running.

Jason: [Laughs] I thought you called him.

Sami: I did. Phone went dead the second he picked up. But if it weren’t for that, he would be breaking down this door right now.

Jason: Uh-huh. I seriously doubt that.

Kristen: Oh, you didn’t think I’d forgotten about you.

Gwen: [Sighs] I can’t talk now.

Kristen: Fine. Then put your boyfriend on. I’ll tell him that his fiancée is alive and well and that she never wanted to break his heart.

Gwen: No, please. Please don’T.

Kristen: Here’s the deal, gwennie. I just got word that I’m being sent back to statesville, possibly as soon as today. So I need you to act now.

Gwen: What do you bloody expect me to do?

Kristen: I expect you to get me out of here asap.

Gwen: And if I can’t?

Kristen: Well, then I’ll call xander and tell him where to find sarah, and he will dump you so fast, it’ll make your head spin.

Okay, we’re not gonna ask for

Gwen: [Sighs] Well, I don’t know how you expect me to do this.

Kristen: You’re having a crisis of conscience? Please, gwennie, compared to everything else you’ve done, this is a piece of cake.

Gwen: Well, no, actually, it’s not really a moral issue. It’s more of a practical one. You see, I’ve never busted anyone out of jail before. I don’t even have a clue where to begin.

Kristen: Well, then enjoy being single. Hey, maybe you’ll meet someone at sarah and xander’s wedding.

Gwen: No, please, please, don’t–just don’t– don’t tell him. Don’t punish me for something that I would do in a heartbeat if I could.

Kristen: Mm. Do I have to do everything myself? If I tell you how to do this, do you promise to go through with it? No excuses? No cold feet?

Gwen: Yes, of course.

Kristen: Okay. Then I’ll get you some help.

Gwen: I have to go.

Xander: Who was that?

[Dramatic music]

Chad: It’s for kristen.

Rafe: Oh. She know she’s going back to statesville?

Chad: Yeah, I just told her.

Rafe: Okay. Why don’t you also tell her that if she’s planning on the old switcheroo again, you know, with susan, it ain’t gonna happen. Susan’s in the hospital.

Chad: I heard. Crazy story.

Rafe: Mm-hmm.

Chad: She’s doing okay, though.

Rafe: Yeah. Yeah, she’ll be fine as long as she doesn’t get roped into helping kristen again.

Chad: I doubt there’s anybody in this town right now that would help my sister.

Rafe: Yeah. Well, lani’s her best friend, but she’d never risk it. There’s always ava.

Chad: They go way back.

Rafe: Yeah. Yeah, they do. In fact, last time kristen was in custody and she traded places with susan, ava’s the one that found her.

Chad: You think she helped her escape?

Rafe: Well, I did ask her point-blank, and ava said she went into the interrogation room looking for me and she found–she found susan unconscious on the floor, never even saw kristen, and if she had seen her that she would have told me right away.

Chad: And you believe her?

Rafe: Yeah. I do.

[Phone rings]

Ava: Hello.

Kristen: It’s me, kristen.

Ava: Kristen? I heard you got arrested.

Kristen: Yeah, I’m at the police station right now.

Ava: So why are you calling me?

Kristen: Well, I need a favor.

Ava: What?

Kristen: Well, the last time I was in a bind, you helped me out and you looked the other way so I could escape, so I need you–

Ava: Listen, kristen, if you are asking me to help you run from the police again, I can’t do it. Rafe and I are in a good place. We’re happy, and I am not gonna jeopardize that.

Kristen: You already have. And if you don’t get me out of here, I’m gonna tell commissioner hernandez all about it, how you aided and abetted me and then you went and lied to his face.

Ava: Come on, you can’T.

Kristen: Oh, I can, and I will.

Ava: Kristen, please.

Kristen: I don’t have time to argue, so listen up. Here’s exactly what you need to do.

Sami: No matter what happens between ej and me, I am still the mother of his children. And he is a very rich man. He will pay a small fortune to get me out of here.

Jason: I’d pay a small fortune to get you to shut up. Trust me.

Sami: Will you please just tell your employer that ej will pay?

Jason: My employer doesn’t care about money.

Sami: Why? Is he rich? Or she? Why are they holding me here? Jason, whoever this horrible person is that you’re working for, you just have to tell me. I have to know who it is. Please.

Nicole: Why would sami do a complete 180, just get up and leave when she said she would stay and fight for your marriage?

Ej: Like you said, she changed her mind.

Nicole: No. It’s not like sami to give up. Especially on you. And she would dig in, hold on, and be in your face 24-7 until she broke you down. But instead, she just disappeared? Why would sami do that?

Ej: Because of me.

Kristen: [Sighs] So are we clear on this?

Ava: Yes. Absolutely.

Kristen: Okay, good. Now, get to work. All right, outgoing calls. Delete.

Chad: What are you– is that my phone?

Kristen: Yes.

Chad: Who–who’d you call?

Kristen: I was calling brady.

Chad: You are unbelievable.

Kristen: You know what? I’m sorry, chad. It’s just–I was desperate. I wanted to speak with rachel. I miss her very, very much, and I thought if he got the call from you, you know, it would be different. But as soon as he heard my voice, he hung up.

Chad: Here’s your food. I have to go.

Kristen: Oh, hey. Hey, thank you for this. And thank you for trying to help. Knowing that you still care gives me hope.

Chad: Yeah, well, hold on to it, ’cause right now, it’s all you got.

[Dramatic music]

Xander: Who was on the phone?

Gwen: Chad.

Xander: Why would you want to talk to chad dimera?

Gwen: I didn’T. He–he phoned me.

Xander: Why?

Gwen: Oh, you know, to blast me yet again for lying about my miscarriage and trying to blow up his marriage.

Xander: God’s sake, he needs to get over–I mean, yeah, you caused some problems. But I mean, he still has a future, a family, a home with the love of his life. Some people have to settle for a lot less.

Gwen: People like you?

Xander: Why would you say that?

Gwen: You–you were talking about sarah earlier. Maybe it’s still bothering you.

Xander: No, it’s not. No. You were right. I need to forget about her. In fact, I already have.

Sami: I just need to know. I just need to know who’s behind this.

Jason: [Laughs] So you’ve said about a thousand times. You know that we had the same conversation every damn day since you got here?

Sami: Since I got here? Do you mean since the day that the thug chloroformed me at rafe hernandez’s house and dumped me here? Is that what you mean?

Jason: And every single time, you keep on asking who my boss is. I told you, you’re not gonna get that information from me.

Sami: [Sighs] Why not?

Jason: [Sighs] ‘Cause I’m no dummy. I know what side my bread is buttered on, all right?

Sami: Do you have to bring up food? You know how I get when I’m hungry.

Jason: Oh, kind of like the green blob in “ghostbusters,” right?

Sami: [Chuckles] Yes, actually, exactly like that.

Jason: Ah.

Sami: So what do you say? Can I have my breakfast or what?

Jason: [Laughs] All right, fine. But this here, I’m taking it with me. All right?

Sami: Yes. Take it.

Nicole: Why would sami leave because of you?

Ej: I pushed her away. I told her I never wanted to see her again, and I meant it.

Nicole: Well, she cheated on you with lucas, so you have every right to be angry.

Ej: I was cruel. Perhaps too cruel.

Nicole: Whatever you said in that moment–

Ej: It wasn’t just that moment, nicole. I was vicious toward my wife for more than a year, verbally and emotionally abusive.

Nicole: You know, maybe we shouldn’t talk about this right now. You’re exhausted and–

Ej: Being up all night has given me a lot of time to think. Sitting there and watching my mother scared and helpless reminded me of what I went through after the fire. I was in so much pain, I didn’t want anyone near me.

Nicole: You went through some very severe trauma.

Ej: And so did my mother. And how did she react? Did she turn cold as ice? Start lashing out at the people that were trying to care for her? No, the complete opposite. She wants me as close as possible.

Nicole: But you two are very different people.

Ej: That doesn’t excuse my behavior.

Nicole: Ej, you were severely burned. You were covered from head to toe in bandages for months.

Ej: Hmm. And every day, I thought to myself that I wanted to die than rather live as the shell of the man that I’d become. I begged samantha to put me out of my misery. But she refused. She kept fighting for me long after I’d given up. And do you think I showed her any bit of appreciation? No. I was a monster. In fact, samantha told me how much she loved me, and I would scream at her to go to hell. She felt lonely, rejected. And so she betrayed me with that wretched simpleton.

But that doesn’t change the fact that she saved my life.

Nicole: Sounds like you feel more than anger toward sami.

Ej: I am still immensely grateful for everything she did for me, but she doesn’t know, because I told her to stay away. And she has.

Nicole: Ej, I mean, it sounds like you regret it.

It’s my 4:05 the-show-must-go-on

Ej: No. I don’t regret the decision I made about samantha.

Nicole: Are you sure? ‘Cause it sounds like you wish you had handled things differently.

Ej: As far as my recovery goes, sure. My behavior was atrocious. But that doesn’t justify the fact that my wife broke her vows. Doesn’t change the fact that she was unfaithful and then lied about it to my face repeatedly.

Nicole: Do you think you would have forgiven her if she had told you the truth from the beginning?

Ej: Doesn’t matter, because she didn’T. Now she’s gone. And I’m moving on.

[Dramatic music]

Nicole… thank you for coming and checking up on me.

Nicole: Of course.

Ej: I’ve had a rather dark night of the soul. Feeling terribly guilty about how I’ve treated my mother, how I’ve treated everyone I’ve cared for. And you, you didn’t scold me or mock me for my behavior, being a bastard. You listened and gave me hope that things can be better moving forward and reminding me that I am right where I want to be. I’m with the person I want to be with.

Unless you’re still pining over rafe after your conference table sex.

Nicole: No, no.

Ej: Mm?

Nicole: Ej. No. Not at all. I’m right where I want to be too. Like you said, moving on.

Kristen: Any news?

Rafe: The van taking you back to statesville is on its way.

Kristen: Huh, well, there must be a bunch of red tape to deal with before I go, forms to sign, paperwork to process.

Rafe: I took care of all that. Soon as it gets here, you’ll be on your way.

[Tense music]

[Knock at door]

Ava: Gwen rizczech?

Gwen: Yes. Who are you?

Ava: Well, according to kristen dimera, I’m your new partner in crime.

[Monitor beeping]

Susan: Hmm. Elvis? Is that you, honey? Oh, jeepers! You’re not my elvis.

Xander: No, susan, it’s–it’s me, xander.

Susan: Oh, xander kiriakis.

Xander: I prefer cook.

Susan: Okay. What are you doing here?

Xander: Well, I heard about what happened to you, and I–I wanted to give you these.

Susan: Oh!

[Sniffs] Mm. We don’t know each other, so why are you bringing me flowers?

Xander: Oh, I just– I don’t know, I wanted to thank you for what you did for me.

Susan: Is this one of those hidden-camera shows?

Xander: Why would you ask that?

Susan: Watch this. See, I just concentrated really, really, really hard, and I can’t think of a single thing that I’ve ever done for you.

Xander: You–you opened my eyes about my unfaithful fiancéE. You–you saved me from making the biggest mistake of my life.

Susan: I’m sorry, mr. Cook. I–I really don’t know what on god’s green earth you are talking about.

Jason: [Whistling]

[Both chuckle] Here you go. It’s all ready for you.

Sami: Thank you.

Jason: Well, I try.

Sami: [Chuckles]

[Clears throat] You know, I just have to do it, take everything off the tray. I don’t like airplanes, cafeterias. Ever since I was a little kid, I had to eat it separate.

Jason: Hey, whatever works. It’s all good.

Sami: Right?

[Both chuckle] Oh, uh, jason, I just want to say I’m sorry about the phone thing. It won’t happen again.

Jason: Ah, cool. Well, it better not.

[Both chuckle] Eat up.

Sami: Right. Okay.

Jason: [Grunts]

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[Soft jazzy music]

Maggie: Brady.

Brady: Hi, hey. I’m–I’m–I’m sorry to pull you away from thanksgiving. I’m glad you came.

Maggie: Oh, well, we finished our feast a while ago. Victor is already zonked out in front of the tv.

Brady: Mm. [Laughs]

Maggie: So how many of those have you had?

Chloe: Mmm. Are you not gonna finish that?

Philip: Too full.

Chloe: Oh, yeah, actually, me too. Oh, maggie really outdid herself with that meal. But I do know a really great way to burn off a bunch of thanksgiving calories.

Philip: I’m listening.

Chloe: I think we should take a nice…long walk to the riverbank and check on our tree.

[Dramatic music]

Belle: Oh, how’s susan?

Steve: She’s doing okay. Kayla said tony and anna could keep her and ej company for a little while. Any word from your dad?

Belle: No. He’s not answering my calls. He’s not returning my messages. I’m just–I mean, I know he’s worried about my mom, but to go after her when she is so out of control like this, I–

Steve: Belle. Belle, listen. No one is tougher than your old man. If anyone can find marlena and get through to her, it’s john.

Belle: [Sighs]

Ciara: Marlena, we were just talking about you.

Marlena: P-please, close the door.

Ben: Oh, what’s–what’s wrong?

Marlena: You’ve gotta help me. You have to hide me.

[Tense music]

Male announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “days of our lives.”

[Soft orchestration]

[Soft music]

John: [Gasps] Oh, man. Look at you. How’s doug and julie?

Shawn: She’s putting him to bed. But we’re lucky they’re alive.

John: I think we’re all lucky to be alive.

Shawn: Yeah, my grandparents are incredibly brave. The way that they called out marlena–or the devil?

John: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Shawn: My grandma said that after marlena knocked me out that she–that she called on the power of love to protect herself and doug and it worked.

John: [Laughs] Leave it to julie williams to scare satan away. I’m glad you’re all okay, kid. Except for that crack on your head.

Shawn: Yeah. Look, steve said that you were on your way to the hospital. I mean, based on the way that you look, I mean, doesn’t look like such a bad idea.

John: No, no, no, that’s all on hold until I can find doc.

Shawn: What happened to you, john? And where have you been? What did marlena do to you?

John: [Exhales heavily]

Ciara: What are you talking about? Are you okay?

Ben: Why do you need us to hide you?

Marlena: It’s john.

Ciara: John?

Ben: What’s going on?

Ciara: What is it, marlena? What’s wrong?

Ben: Please. Hey, we’re here to help you. Whatever it is.

Marlena: I never thought i would have to tell anybody this. And I’m afraid you’re gonna have a very hard time believing me.

[Shudders]

Ben: You’re shaking. You need to sit down.

Ciara: Yeah, let me get you some water.

Marlena: [Exhales heavily]

Ciara: Here.

Marlena: Thank you. I guess I’m–I’m not sure where to start.

Ben: Whatever it is, you can tell us.

Marlena: Well, the– the reason–the reason john is after me is because john’s been abusing me.

[Tense music]

It’s my 4:05 the-show-must-go-on

Maggie: You know what? It doesn’t matter how many you’ve had to drink. The important thing is, is that you called me.

Brady: [Clears throat] Maggie, I–I haven’t even had a slip of it. I’ve been staring at it for an hour and 26 minutes and 35 seconds now.

Maggie: I am just so glad you called.

Brady: I’m glad you came.

Maggie: I’m your family.

[Sighs] I’m your sponsor. I know how difficult holidays can be. And I know how hard you’ve had it recently. So why don’t we get that gentlemen to take that away?

Brady: Yeah, I– I regretted it the minute I ordered it. Just couldn’t find the strength to send it back.

Maggie: Hmm. I understand. I mean, that’s the pull alcohol has over us.

Brady: Yeah.

Maggie: When we least expect it…[Sighs] We can find ourself with that urge– with that urge to pick it up.

[Clears throat] I can’t imagine how hard it was for you finding kristen about to run off with rachel and begging you not to turn her in.

Brady: The look on that little girl’s face. She was just looking up at me like… kristen’s desperation, it just all–the whole damn thing just broke–broke me up, maggie. It broke my heart.

Maggie: Well, listen. Unfortunately for addicts like us…

Brady: Mm-hmm.

Maggie: People can have just as much of a hold over us as alcohol. Especially when that person is the mother of our child. And the woman that once and I’m guessing you still love very deeply.

Brady: I heard from kristen’s lawyer. She wanted to see me, and I came really close to doing it, I did, maggie, but I’m–I’m–I… can’t do it. I can’t do it. I can’t–I got to end it. It–it has to end, right?

Maggie: Yeah, so you ended with a scotch instead?

Brady: Well, if I’m completely honest with you, this–this drink is not just about kristen. It’s also about chloe.

Maggie: Oh.

Chloe: What do you say? I’m feeling a little extra thankful for my amazing boyfriend, and what better way to celebrate than to go visit our tree?

[Dramatic music]

Philip: [Growling] That is an awesome idea, but I am so stuffed, I can hardly move.

Chloe: Hmm.

Philip: In case you haven’t noticed, it’s cold outside.

Chloe: Since when are you afraid of a little chill factor?

Philip: Since I’m curled up on this couch with my beautiful girlfriend…

Chloe: Mm-hmm.

Philip: In this nice warm house.

Chloe: Oh, so that’s a no?

Philip: It is.

Chloe: How about tomorrow?

Philip: Black friday? And miss all the sales?

Chloe: Oh, stop it. Very funny. You’re probably gonna be working anyway. Okay, but I do wanna make a date to go visit our sweet little tree. I wanna see how it’s doing.

Shawn: So all this time, you were in the dimera crypt? And marlena put you there?

John: Shawn, it wasn’t marlena. Doc is fighting as hard as she can, but she is just no match for a force of evil as powerful as the devil.

Shawn: Yeah, I’d have to agree. Look, let me take you to the hospital. I mean, belle’s there right now. She’s worried sick about you. I’m sure she would love to see with her own two eyes that you’re alive and you’re well.

John: Kid, I would love nothing more than to wrap my arms around my daughter right now and tell her, “kid, everything is gonna be okay,” but I can’t do that, not until–

Shawn: Till you find marlena.

John: I gotta stop her, shawn. I gotta save her. Before she knocked you out, did she say anything about her plans?

Shawn: No, I think her plan was just to finish us off. Until–till julie drove her away.

John: Well, then maybe you should–you should give this back to julie.

Shawn: I think, right now, I think that you could use it a lot more.

[Tense music]

Ciara: John’s been abusing you?

Ben: I am so, so sorry, dr. Evans. Since–since when?

Marlena: Well, it’s been going on for some time.

Ciara: Hasn’t he been out of town for some undercover assignment?

Marlena: He was. He was. I–I was hoping the time away would do him some good, help him, you know, deal with his demons. And then he came home this morning and–

Ben: What happened? What happened?

Marlena: He did that.

Ben: John did that?

Ciara: Why?

Marlena: Well, I’m afraid he doesn’t need much of a reason. He–he came home and I–I told him I was so happy to see him because he’d been gone for a while, and he–he felt that I was was guilting him about his job. And then– and then he grabbed me.

Ben: This is unbelievable.

Marlena: Yeah, well, see, I’m a psychiatrist. I’m supposed to be able to help people with their problems, but I can’t even seem to help myself.

Ciara: And do you really think that john is going to come after you?

Marlena: Oh, oh, he–he was in–he was in such a rage when I left the house, I– I’m afraid to go back there.

Ben: I’m so sorry.

Ciara: Yeah, this is horrible. I just–I’m sorry, marlena, but this doesn’t sound like john. Why give your family just any eggs

Maggie: So this is about chloe? I–I knew that victor was trying to push the two of you together, but I just thought it was his wishful thinking.

Brady: Wishful, yeah. Granddad’s skills as a matchmaker are highly exaggerated and overrated. Chloe and I are not together. That being said, despite my desire to suppress them, I do–I have some real feelings for her, maggie, some deep-rooted feelings for her, and I really can’t do anything about it because–

Maggie: She’s with philip.

Brady: Yeah.

Chloe: Oh, it was so beautiful that day we planted the tree. Look how small it was. It’s probably so much bigger now. I’m just sorry I haven’t had the time to go visit it lately.

Philip: They’ve been working you awfully hard at basic black. How’s it going over there?

Chloe: Great. I mean, this week, we were really crunched because we were trying to get the latest sales projections in before the holiday, but other than that, business as usual.

Philip: So no big developments to report?

Chloe: Like what? How about we stop talking about philip and we get back to work?

Brady: That’s a good idea.

Chloe: Brady, seriously, I mean it. You cannot tell anybody what happened here last night. I mean–

Brady: I–I know what you mean. I know. You’re referring to the sex that happened on the conference table. Okay, listen, I’m– I’m not gonna tell a soul about it. It’ll be our secret, okay?

[Dramatic music]

Philip: Oh, I don’t know. Seems like you’ve been working long hours. Haven’t seen you that much. Just thought there might be something big going on.

Chloe: Well, there–there is one development.

Philip: A new product line?

Chloe: I need to talk to you about brady.

Shawn: I’m checking the latest incident report, and nope, no sign of marlena.

[Phone rings] Oh. Hey, sweetie.

Belle: Oh, thank god. I just called the salem pd, and they said you weren’t there. Where are you? And where is my mom?

Shawn: Look, I’m still at the house. Your–your mom got away from me.

Belle: What do you mean she got away? Are you okay?

Shawn: Yeah, nothing a little bit of aspirin can’t fix.

Belle: Oh, my god, shawn.

Shawn: I’m fine. I’m fine. So are doug and julie. And the good news is, your dad’s safe. He just got here a little while ago.

Belle: Oh, thank god. Is he hurt?

Shawn: He’s a little worse for wear, but he says he’s okay. He’s actually right here.

[Suspenseful music]

Marlena: I don’t blame you for being skeptical.

Ciara: No, I don’t mean to upset you. It’s just, john is madly in love with you. He is so gentle with you. I–I simply can’t picture him trying to hurt you.

Marlena: No, I understand it’s out of character, but ever since the aneurysm, he–he flies into these fits of rage.

Ciara: Aneurysm?

Ben: Yeah, it happened last fall when you were…

Ciara: Oh, right

Ben: I thought these episodes had stopped.

Marlena: No, I’m afraid not. Sometimes he’s normal, and then other times, he goes into this insane rage. I–I just never thought that– no matter how angry he got, I never thought that he would hurt me.

Ben: But he did.

Marlena: Yeah, I–I guess that’s why I haven’t said anything. I mean, I–I didn’t wanna believe it myself. But all these months, things have gotten worse and worse and worse, and it doesn’t stop, but I just keep thinking, “I’m alone.” I’m just scared. I’m just so scared.

Ben: Listen, you don’t have to be afraid anymore. You don’t have to be afraid. I promise you ciara and i are gonna do everything that we can do to help you and to help john, whatever you need.

Marlena: Oh, I can’t tell you how much that means to me. Gosh, I must be such a mess. I–I hope you don’t mind if I just clean up a little bit.

Ben: Of course, yeah.

Marlena: Excuse me. Thank you.

Ben: This is unreal. John’s just been abusing her for the last year?

Ciara: Yeah, that’s what she says.

Ben: You don’t believe her?

Ciara: I don’t know. Obviously she’s scared.

Ben: Obviously she has a bruise on her wrist, ciara, but–

Ciara: No, I–I see that. I–I just–for some reason, I’m wondering if maybe there’s a little bit more to this.

Ben: There’s more? More how?

Ciara: I don’t know. I don’t know, but I cannot imagine him hurting her. And I cannot imagine her putting up with it for a year. And I cannot imagine him coming after her.

[Banging on door]

John: Marlena.

[Banging on door] Open up! I know you’re in there, marlena. Come on. Hi susan! Honey?

Brady: I blew it, maggie. A little while back, chloe actually–she admitted to me that she had feelings for me.

Maggie: You were in love with kristen.

Brady: [Sighs] Well, I’m–I’m always gonna–gonna love kristen. She’s the–she’s the mother of my daughter. But…I feel like I’ve been lying to myself for a long time about her, thinking that she’s gonna change. I know she’s gonna change. She’s not gonna change. She’s got these insecurities and this jealousy that just– I feel like I’m talking about philip right now.

Maggie: Philip isn’t kristen, brady.

Brady: No, he’s not, but I’ll tell you what. The guy freaks out every single time he sees chloe and i together.

Maggie: And you don’t do anything at all to push his buttons?

Brady: No, I don’t pu– I don’t– but yeah, I mean, I–I guess I’ve pushed a button here and there, but I don’t–look, I don’t do it anymore. Honestly, chloe and I are colleagues. We’re dear friends and nothing more. Even though I don’t think philip is ever gonna have the capacity to be the man or the–the partner that chloe needs.

Maggie: And have you voiced any of this to chloe?

Brady: Oh, yeah. Chloe is fully aware of how I feel about philip. But I’m–I’m trying to do the honorable thing here.

Maggie: Stand back and hope that this relationship with him just implodes on its own?

Brady: Maybe.

[Sighs] Don’t look at me like that. Okay, yeah, that’s exactly– that’s exactly what I am hoping for, completely.

Maggie: Mm, and what if it doesn’t happen?

Brady: If it doesn’t happen, then I accept defeat and I do nothing.

Maggie: Except land in a bar like this.

Brady: All right, maggie. Touché. Fine, but look, I’m serious. I am serious about this. I–I don’t care whether I think philip is right for chloe or not. I’m not gonna interfere. I’ll tell you what. It does hurt like hell to think that chloe and i could have had a real chance if philip wasn’t in the picture.

Philip: Why would you need to talk to me about brady?

Chloe: [Sighs] Well, I know that you and lucas saw me and brady walk into the salem inn the day that I moved out.

Philip: How did you know we saw you?

Chloe: Brady told me.

Philip: And what did brady have to say about it?

Chloe: Well, he said that lucas basically confronted him and accused him of sleeping with me behind your back, and I wanted to talk to you about it, but I wanted to wait until you mentioned it first, but it’s been weeks, and you haven’t said a word.

[Banging on door]

John: Come on, marlena! I know you’re in there! Doc, open up!

[Banging on door] Open up!

[Tense music]

Ben: John.

John: Let me in, ben! I know she’s in there! Let me in! Let me in!

Ben: You need to go home, john. You need to get out of here.

John: I’m not going anywhere until I see her, so let me in!

[Growls]

Ben: The best thing you can do right now, john, is to go home and you cool off.

John: After all that bitch has done, what, now it’s my fault?

Ben: You need to leave, john.

John: Everything she’s telling you is a lie, ben. She’s just trying to get you on her side.

Ben: You need to leave. You need to go home.

John: I know you’re in there, doc! I know you’re in there! You’re in there spewing your filthy lies about me. Well, it’s over. You hear me? I’m gonna stop you once and for all. I’m gonna kill you. I swear to god, I’m gonna kill you!

Belle: What do you mean my dad’s gone?

Shawn: He was just here a second ago. Maybe he went to go look for your mother. Oh, my god, john, john.

Belle: Shawn? Shawn? What’s going on?

John: It’s not like she says. She’s no victim. You hear me? Doc, you are no victim. You got everything you deserve, and you’re gonna get everything that’s coming to you.

Ciara: Ben, close the door.

John: No, open the door! Bitch.

Maggie: Well, I wish I could give you some advice, but I don’t know what to say.

Brady: Maggie, I’ll tell you what. It can’t be any worse than the advice I got from marlena.

Maggie: Well, what did she tell you?

Brady: She told me to take chloe and throw her on the conference table and ravage her.

Maggie: [Laughs]

Brady: Yeah.

Maggie: Marlena?

Brady: Mm-hmm.

Maggie: She actually said that?

Brady: She actually said that.

Maggie: That doesn’t sound like marlena at all. What’s gotten into her?

Brady: I don’t know. I don’t know, but I didn’t go through with it, obviously.

Maggie: Good.

Brady: I did–I did not take her advice. And so there you have it. Once again, maggie, I–I lost the girl before I even really got the chance to get her. And all to a man who is just a– sorry, I–no more dumping on philip. He’s your stepson. I’m–I’m sorry.

Maggie: I love philip, but I love you too. I just–I hate to see you in so much pain. All I want is for both of you to be happy. And unfortunately, you both can’t have chloe.

[Soft jazzy music]

Philip: I didn’t ask you about you and brady going into salem inn because there was nothing to know, right?

Chloe: Of course not. Nothing happened between me and brady that night.

[Dramatic music]

Brady only walked in with me to help me with my luggage.

Philip: That’s exactly what I assumed.

Chloe: Well, good. I’m glad. I do kind of have another confession. When brady told me what you and lucas saw, I just–I assumed that you were gonna just fly into another jealous rage. And when you didn’t mention anything, I was relieved. I took it as a sign that you finally trust me.

Philip: I’ve learned my lesson, chloe. I know how important trust is in a relationship. Once it’s broken, it’s all over.

John: [Groans]

Belle: How are you feeling?

John: I’m okay, sweetheart.

Belle: All this time, you were in this horrible crypt, and, you know, we just believed mom when she told us you were undercover, and we should have looked harder. We–we should have questioned her more.

John: Izzy, izzy, izzy, first of all, it wasn’t your mother. So there’s no way you could’ve known. All that matters now is that we–we need to find her. Listen, I don’t suppose you’d spring me if I asked really nicely, like, please?

Kayla: Mm. Not a chance. You are staying right here where I can keep an eye on you.

Belle: Dad, you passed out. You’re staying, even if I have to guard you myself. So is he gonna be okay?

Kayla: Well, I’ve ordered a ct scan just to make sure that there’s no head injury, but judging from the circumstances, I would say that he is dehydrated and exhausted. So we’ll give him some fluids and some rest, and then I believe he’ll be all right.

John: There, you heard it. Your old man’s indestructible.

Belle: Well, thank god steve found you when he did. ‘Cause there’s really no telling what the devil had in store for you.

John: [Sighs]

Steve: Here you go, buddy.

Shawn: Oh, thanks.

Steve: Marlena really got you good, huh?

Shawn: Yeah, yeah, she did.

Steve: Well, I know she’s your mother-in-law, but why didn’t you cuff her before you took her down into the station?

Shawn: Look, I did. I’ve never seen anything like it before in my life. She just–she just snapped the cuffs like they were trinkets. And then she threw me across the room without breaking a sweat.

Steve: Across the room, huh? Did you get yourself checked out?

Shawn: Yeah, yeah, kayla looked me over. I’m fine. Just wanna make sure that john’s okay. And then we need to find marlena. Look, anybody who comes in contact with her, they’re in serious danger.

Marlena: Is he gone?

Ben: Yeah, I don’t worry. You’re safe. We’re not gonna let him anywhere near you.

Ciara: I–I can’t even believe that was john. I barely even recognized him.

Marlena: I know. That’s not the man I married.

Ben: Yeah, well, I’m calling the police.

Marlena: No, no.

Ben: He’s dangerous, dr. Evans.

Marlena: No, the thing is that he’s got friends in the department, so I don’t want him to be able to talk his way out of it.

Ciara: Okay, well, what about family?

Marlena: Well, gosh, eric’s out of the country, and sami’s gone, and… well, belle and brady, I–I don’t want to put them in a position where they have to turn against their father.

Ben: Well, I mean, there’s gotta be something we can do.

Marlena: There is. We have to leave town right now.

[Tense music]

Kayla: Here you go.

John: Thank you.

[Monitor beeping] You know, your husband saved my life today.

Kayla: You’re his very best friend in the whole world. And when you vanished and we finally realized that marlena was lying to us about where you were, there was nothing that was gonna stop him from finding you. Not even the devil.

John: That’s my partner.

Kayla: You know, john, I owe you an apology.

John: Yeah, and why’s that?

Kayla: I was so angry with you for playing that tape of doug’s session with marlena, but you knew in your gut that there was something terribly wrong with marlena and that that tape was the key. If only we had listened to that tape sooner, you know, maybe we could’ve stopped marlena before she went after you or doug or susan.

John: Kay, kay, kay, kay, no, no, no, no. This is–this is lucifer we’re talking about here. It doesn’t matter when we would have listened to that tape. He would have found a way to stop us. What’s important now is that we know what we are fighting, and all that matters is that we win that fight for doc’s sake.

Ben: You want us to leave town with you?

Marlena: Well, just for a little while. Look, I’m afraid if I go alone, john will find me. Oh, well, yeah, you’ve got your own family to think about. You got the baby coming and all that. I know it’s a big decision. Why don’t I just go freshen up again and let you talk about it?

[Dramatic music]

Oh, don’t let me down, ben.

Ciara: Look, we–we can’t just leave town, ben.

Ben: You heard john. You saw him. This guy’s totally lost it.

Ciara: Yeah, okay, and there must be a better way that we can help her that doesn’t involve us packing up our things and leaving town.

Ben: I know it seems like a lot, but this woman has never asked anything of me.

Ciara: Okay, but this? Go where, ben? For how long? I am finally working again. You have a job.

Ben: I understand that. She’s scared, ciara, and she needs our help right now.

Ciara: I know, I know, but there’s just–there’s something so weird about all of this. It’s just fundamentally weird. It’s all out of nowhere.

Ben: You heard marlena. This has been going on for almost a year. John’s aneurysm?

Ciara: Okay, well, maybe we can find a way to help him. Maybe we can call brady or call belle.

Ben: She said she doesn’t wanna get anybody else involved.

Ciara: I know, but they’re family, ben.

Ben: I know that, ciara. But after everything she has done for me, maybe it’s my turn to help her. She’s the person who never stopped believing in me. She changed my life. Hell, she gave me my life back. We are about to have a baby right now because that woman convinced me that i could be a good father.

[Dramatic music]

Marlena: Well, did you decide?

Limu emu… & doug

Chloe: Thank you so much for understanding and for trusting me. You have no idea how much it means.

Philip: What do you say we go upstairs and tuck in and see what christmas movies are on?

Chloe: Mm, I would love that, but I really have to head back to the salem inn.

Philip: Video chat with parker?

Chloe: No, I wish. He went to bed ages ago. But I have a super early morning meeting in the square.

Philip: My little workaholic.

Chloe: [Chuckles]

Philip: You can’t beat that commute.

Chloe: No. But I’ll see you tomorrow?

Philip: You bet.

Chloe: Okay. Mm.

Philip: All that talk about trust right before she goes to meet her boyfriend? There’s not a chance in hell her and brady are gonna make a fool of me.

Brady: Belle, thanks for– thanks for calling. Oh, my god.

Maggie: So john’s in the hospital?

Brady: Yeah, he is.

Maggie: Well, is he all right?

Brady: He’s–he’s–he’s gonna be all right. But marlena is not.

Maggie: Marlena? Well, what happened?

Brady: Oh, my god. That’s why. That’s–that’s why that advice that she gave me was so crazy, because it–it wasn’t her at all.

Maggie: Wait a minute. What on earth you talking about?

Brady: Maggie, this is gonna sound really crazy, but I’m just gonna tell you. Marlena has been possessed by the devil… again.

Maggie: Oh, no.

Steve: Hey there. There’s my partner. Looking a lot better than the last time I saw you.

John: Well, you know, I was having myself a pretty below-average thanksgiving till you showed up.

Kayla: [Laughs]

Steve: You doing okay?

John: Well, if I can get your wifey to sneak me in a sliver of her world-famous pumpkin pie, I’ll be good as new.

Kayla: Hmm, with a little rest and some fluids. We’re still waiting on the ct report.

John: Details, only details. You know, I’ve always been grateful for your friendship. But with everything that’s going on here right now with–with doc out there needing our help, today I’m extra thankful for the two of you.

Steve: We’re by your side on this, buddy. We found you. We’re gonna find marlena too. Okay.

Shawn: How’s your dad doing?

Belle: Oh, well, he’s okay for someone who’s been locked in a crypt for weeks. Of course, all he wants to do is get out of here and go find my mom.

Shawn: Well, I’m right there with him on that. Look, belle I–I’ve been holding off on officially reporting this, but I–

Belle: I know. I know. You don’t have a choice.

[Tense music]

Shawn: Yeah, this is detective brady. I need to put out an apb on marlena evans.

Tell all units to approach with caution. Dr. Evans should be considered extremely dangerous.

Update written by Joseph

Philip is laying in bed, watching TV with a bowl of popcorn. Chloe walks in and asks if he’s okay. Philip responds that he’s never been better. Philip asks what she’s doing there. Chloe says she’s kind of wondering why her boyfriend is in the dark and acting like he doesn’t want her around. Philip responds that he might’ve been more welcoming if he was expecting her. Philip asks if they had plans. Chloe says no but they need to talk as she found out something that was kind of upsetting. Philip asks what it is. Chloe then states that he’s been lying to her.

Maggie joins Victor in the living room of the Kiriakis Mansion. Victor is reading the news on his tablet and complains about John being chained in the DiMera Crypt like an animal and that he was trapped with Susan. Maggie argues that Susan was just as much of a victim as John was. Victor mocks Susan being crazy but Maggie reveals that Susan is right because Brady told her that Marlena has been possessed again and she’s the one that trapped John and Susan in the Crypt. Victor questions Marlena being responsible for John being in the hospital which Maggie confirms.

Brady tries to get John to eat in the hospital and says he’s not leaving until he does. John argues that Brady should be worried about Marlena, not him, as she could be hurting herself or someone else.

Ben and Ciara arrive at the cabin with Devil Marlena. Ciara comments on it taking long to get here and goes to freshen up. Marlena tells Ben how grateful she is that they stepped up to help her as she can’t imagine what John would’ve done to her. Ben assures her that she won’t have to worry anymore as she will be safe here.

Victor questions how many times one woman can be possessed by the Devil in one lifetime. Maggie is sure that Marlena isn’t choosing to be possessed and suggests Victor try to be more compassionate instead of outraged. Maggie argues that Marlena is family. Maggie is glad that she and Brady were on their way to a meeting when Belle called to tell Brady because she shudders to think how he would’ve reacted alone. Victor questions going to a meeting and if Brady is drinking or using drugs again. Maggie doesn’t want to give any information as his sponsor but Victor demands to know. Maggie tells Victor that Brady is not drinking but he is struggling. Victor guesses he’s pining over Chloe.

Philip questions what Chloe is accusing him of. Chloe tells him to stop playing games as she knows everything. Philip thinks back to ripping their tree out of the ground and tossing it in to the river. Philip then gets up and tells Chloe that he can explain. Chloe tells him not to bother because she knows the truth.

Devil Marlena thanks Ben for getting her to safety so quickly. Ben talks about how this cabin has been a sanctuary for them, so he’s glad to share it with her. Marlena says she’s terrified of what John would’ve done to her. Ben promises he won’t find her and if he did, he’d have to get through him first to get to her. Marlena calls Ben a better friend to her than anyone in town. Ben feels it’s the least he could do after everything Marlena has done for him and Ciara. Marlena says any debt that he owes her is more than paid by this kindness. Marlena hugs Ben and says she’s so grateful, as Ciara comes back out and sees them.

Chloe explains to Philip that she stopped by Titan today to surprise him and take him out to lunch but she was surprised to find out from his now former assistant, that he was fired as CEO. Philip guesses that must have been awkward. Chloe doesn’t understand how he and Victor sat through an entire Thanksgiving dinner and not say that he’s not running Titan anymore. Chloe asks if they’re not a couple. Philip responds that he always thought they were. Chloe argues that couples share key bits of information about their lives like losing the job they loved. Chloe knows how much Titan means to him. Philip says it means more than anything in the world. Chloe argues that he should have told her that he was fired because in a relationship, you share the good and the bad. Philip asks if that’s so as he thinks back to overhearing Chloe telling Brady that he couldn’t tell anyone about the sex that happened on the conference table. Philip questions if Chloe shares every intimate detail of her life with him.

Lani sits with Abe at home. Abe was starting to think she was avoiding him. Lani admits that she was because she didn’t know how to face him. Abe questions why she would have trouble facing him. Lani feels all of this is her fault. Abe says there is plenty of blame to go around, but none of it should land on her. Lani says she’s the one that jumped to the conclusion that Abe was her father because he dated Tamara around the time she was conceived. Abe calls that a reasonable conclusion but Lani says it was the wrong one. Lani doesn’t know why Tamara let her believe a lie. Lani bets Abe wishes she never came to Salem looking for him. Abe assures that she would lose that bet because learning that she was his daughter was one of the best things that ever happened to him.

John tells Brady that Marlena got violent at the Horton Thanksgiving. John adds that it’s not Marlena, but Satan that is making her do all of this. Paulina walks in and questions it being true that Marlena is possessed by the Devil.

Ben promises Marlena that nobody followed them, so John won’t find her here. Ben sits Marlena down with Ciara. Marlena notices Ciara staring at her and asks if everything is alright. Ciara says no and that something here is very wrong. Ben asks what it is. Ciara says it’s the way that Marlena has been acting, staring out the window and jumping at every sound. Marlena claims she’s just very scared of what John could do to her and questions that being upsetting to Ciara. Ciara guesses that’s it but she’s having a very hard time believing that the John she saw is the same man that she’s known since she was a child. Ciara can’t believe John is a monster, even though she saw the way he acted and it terrified her, she can’t reconcile that with the wonderful man she’s known her entire life. Ciara remarks that it’s like it was someone else came to the apartment, not John. Devil Marlena thinks back to transforming in to John. Marlena says she understands that it must be very confusing if you haven’t seen John behave that way before. Marlena insists they both have to trust that John is a very dangerous man.

Maggie reminds Victor that he’s the reason that Brady is even in Chloe’s orbit again, since he asked him to get close to her. Victor complains that he just wanted her claws out of Philip and he didn’t think Brady would fall for her again. Maggie tells him not to meddle in other people’s lives as now Brady and Philip are both enamored with a woman that Victor can’t stand.

Chloe doesn’t know what Philip means by every intimate detail, but says she is open with him about most things like the most important things. Chloe complains that Philip doesn’t let her in or make it easy and that has to change if this relationship is going to work. Philip questions if she’s telling him that he hasn’t been treating her very well. Philip says he’s sorry about the funk he’s been in as he had so much on his mind. Chloe wants to get him out for some fresh air. Philip says he’s just not in the mood. Chloe offers to take him to the kitchen to make him real food. Philip doesn’t want to run in to Victor or Maggie. Chloe offers to get takeout from a restaurant and she can come back so they can share. Philip calls that a great idea and promises that by the time she gets back, he and the place will be clean. Chloe kisses him. Philip calls her the best girlfriend ever as she always takes such good care of him. Chloe then exits. Philip shuts off the lights and complains that Chloe couldn’t wait to leave. Philip remarks that Chloe can go ahead and have sex with Brady and be the whore that Victor always said she was.

Lani’s phone rings. She tells Abe that Tamara has been calling constantly since the wedding. Lani guesses that Olivia told her what happened. Lani says she keeps sending it to voicemail because she can’t talk to her. Lani cries, asking what there even is to say. Abe mentions that he talked to Tamara and that she never meant to deceive her, she was just trying to help Paulina out of a bad situation. Lani doesn’t get how Abe can be so understanding since she didn’t just deceive her for her entire life, but she turned Abe’s life upside down and he didn’t deserve any of this. Abe responds that she didn’t either. Abe admits he’s upset with her too. Lani says she’s more than just upset as Tamara and Paulina let her fall in love with this family while knowing all along that she didn’t share a drop of Abe’s blood. Lani argues that if Tamara told her the truth, none of this would have happened, but she let her move to Salem and form connections that aren’t even real. Abe questions who says their bonds aren’t real.

Victor questions if it’s so much to ask for the men in his family to come home with suitable mates. Maggie asks why Victor decides who is suitable and adds that the Kiriakis men are not a walk in the park to deal with. Victor declares that he found the last good woman in Salem, who for some reason saw fit to put up with the likes of him. Maggie continues to complain about Victor meddling in his kids’ love lives. Victor tells her to give him a break. Philip walks by and listens in from behind the wall as Victor complains about Brady and Philip both having it bad for Chloe. Victor asks Maggie if Brady understands there is no chance of a future with Chloe. Maggie doesn’t think Brady understands that. Maggie then reveals that Brady told her that he believes he and Chloe could be happy together, if only Philip wasn’t in the way.

Ciara says the man that John has become makes him a danger not just to Marlena, but to everyone around him. Marlena asks if she sees that now. Ciara wants to call the police to let them know what’s going on. Marlena reminds her that they talked about this already. Marlena argues that John was a cop and they all stick together to cover for each other, so John will just get a slap on the wrist and he’ll be even angrier when he comes after her. Ciara sees why she thinks that but assures there’s no way that Shawn would let anything bad happen to her. Marlena argues that she can’t take that risk. Ciara declares that she can because she trusts that Shawn will make the right decision. Marlena stops her and says she can’t do that.

Paulina tells John about how she called the Devil a bitch and the Devil called her one right back. John called her lucky as he’s glad Marlena didn’t really hurt her. Paulina notes that Marlena might not have left a visible scar but she took a wrecking ball to her life.

Abe tells Lani to let him tell her a story. Lani says she’s too old for fairy tales. Abe insists so Lani agrees to hear the story. Abe tells her about how his best friend and partner was Roman Brady, who died suddenly while working on bringing down Stefano DiMera. Lani questions him saying that Roman died. Abe says they were all devastated when they lost him, but a few years later, an amnesiac showed up in town named John Black. Abe states that everyone who loved Roman were eventually led to believe that he and John were one in the same. Abe says he had his partner and best friend back. Abe adds that after about half a decade, they found out that John Black was not Roman after all and that Roman was held captive by Stefano for all those years. Abe explains that when Roman came back, they were shocked and delighted by his return, but that didn’t lessen their love for John Black because the heart doesn’t work that way. Lani says at least Abe’s doesn’t. Abe says that DNA didn’t matter, only the love did, and as far as he’s concerned, she is now and will always be his daughter. Lani breaks down crying as they embrace.

Devil Marlena apologizes for grabbing Ciara’s phone and says she’s just so on edge. Ben understands because she’s been living in fear for months. Ciara thinks it would be better to end it now instead of running away for the rest of her life. Ben points out that it’s not their choice to make, it’s Marlena’s. Ben assures that they won’t call anyone. Marlena thanks them for understanding. Ben adds that the cell service is terrible out here anyways. Marlena says they all agree that nobody is making any phone calls. Ciara tells Ben that isolation was wonderful when they were there reconnecting but she doesn’t think it’s a good idea now in case something happens to the baby since she is pregnant. Marlena assures her that everything is going to be fine and if anything unexpected happens, she’s a doctor so she can take care of her. Marlena declares that everything will be perfect for her and the baby.

John tells Paulina that Marlena would never reveal anything she told her if she was in her right mind as she views breaking patient-doctor confidentiality as a cardinal sin. Paulina says this devil situation is beyond incredible but she does believe John. John thanks her and says if he hadn’t lived through it before, he wouldn’t believe it himself. Paulina feels she should’ve done more research before moving to Salem and wishes she knew what Marlena was dealing with before she gave the Devil ammunition to blow up her family, especially her relationship with Abe. Paulina worries that Abe may never forgive her for what she did. John is unsure about that as he’s known Abe for a long time and he’s one of the most forgiving men he’s ever met.

Lani asks Abe if he’s sure that he feels this way which he confirms. Abe calls Lani his daughter in every way that counts and jokes to not even think about keeping his grandchildren from him because they are his, just like she is, biology be damned. Abe adds that he just can’t excuse what Paulina, Tamara, and Olivia did. Abe says he’s trying to manage his anger at being deceived for so long, but he can understand the choice they made. Lani admits she can too as she empathizes with what Paulina went through, but cries that she can’t forgive her for lying to them all and hurting them too much.

Philip continues listening in as Victor complains to Maggie about Brady imagining a future with Chloe. Maggie assures that Brady knows that possibility is remote as long as Chloe is with Philip. Victor asks if Brady would do anything to hurt Philip. Maggie insists that he wouldn’t and that Brady was just letting off steam. Victor hopes that’s all it was since they both know that even a good man can be driven by jealousy to the darkest of places.. Philip then turns and walks away.

Chloe exits the Brady Pub and runs in to Brady outside. Chloe thought he’d be at the hospital with John. Brady informs her that he sent him for takeout. Chloe asks how he’s holding up. Brady says he’s as good as could be expected considering his wife is running around with a demon inside of her. Chloe sends her love to John and says she should get going since Philip is expecting her. Brady tells her that they’ll always have the Brady Pub as Chloe then walks away. Brady then gets a call from his son Tate, telling him that he won the championship game. Brady tells him to have his mother send him a video.

John doesn’t know how much Paulina knows about Abe’s late wife, Lexie. Paulina says she only knows what Abe has told her and that she was the love of his life, Theo’s mother, a cop and a pillar of the community. John says that’s all true but only part of the story because she was far from perfect. Paulina tells him to go on. John doesn’t want to speak out of turn but Paulina insists. John explains that when Lexie found out that Stefano DiMera was her father, she wrestled with demons of her own, so there were times when she yielded to her father’s influence and kind of bent to the dark side. John tells her that with Lexie, Abe was able to forgive what most men would consider unforgivable. John declares that if Abe was able to forgive Lexie, he wouldn’t rule out the possibility of him forgiving Paulina too.

Abe says whether Lani can forgive Paulina and Tamara is between her and God. Lani asks if Abe is going to forgive Paulina. Abe says that’s between him and her. Lani asks about God. Abe is sure he’ll be involved. Abe asks if she’s feeling better now. Lani admits that she is, thanks to him. Abe says he’s feeling better thanks to her. Abe adds that he has to go see an old friend now. Lani hugs Abe. Abe calls her his daughter as she calls him dad. They tell each other I love you as Abe then exits.

Devil Marlena steps out to go collect herself. Ben asks Ciara what’s wrong as she’s very tense. Ciara tells him that she doesn’t like this at all. Ben says none of them like it but they don’t have many other options. Ciara feels they have to at least call Belle to tell her what’s going on because Marlena and John are her parents, so Belle would do anything to help her mom and Shawn would never forgive her for keeping this from him. Ben says she might be right but they are not fighting Marlena on this. Ciara feels something is just off here. There is then a knock at the cabin door. Ciara asks what to do. Ben goes to answer it but Devil Marlena comes back and begs him not to because they don’t know who it is.

Paulina goes to leave the hospital right as Abe arrives off of the elevator.

Lani gets another call from Tamara and this time she answers.

Chloe returns to the Kiriakis Mansion. Maggie greets her and says she didn’t know she was stopping by. Chloe reveals it’s actually her second time here as Philip asked her to bring takeout. Maggie calls it a nice romantic dinner for two. Chloe says it would be, but Philip is not in his room, so she asks if Maggie knows where he is.

Brady tells Tate that he wishes he could’ve been there to see him get that winning goal. Brady tells him he’s proud of him and plans to video chat over the weekend. Brady tells Tate that he loves him. As Brady hangs up the phone, someone sneaks up behind him and knocks him out with a crowbar.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Beginning is missing due to news interruption; we’ll have it up soon.

[Ambient music]

Philip: You share every intimate detail of your life with me, chloe?

Abe: Thank you.

Lani: You’re welcome.

Abe: You know, I was starting to think you were avoiding me.

Lani: I was. I didn’t know how to face you.

Abe: And why on earth would you have trouble facing me?

Lani: Because all of this is my fault.

Abe: You know, there is plenty of blame to go around, and none of it should land on you.

Lani: I’m the one who jumped to the conclusion that you were my father just because you dated tamara around the time I was conceived.

Abe: Well, that’s a reasonable conclusion.

Lani: Yeah, but it was the wrong one. And for the life of me, I cannot–I don’t know why my mother–why tamara let me believe a lie. I bet you wish I’d never come to salem looking for you.

Abe: You would lose that bet. Learning that you were my daughter is one of the best things that ever happened to me.

Lani: [Sniffling]

[Sighs]

Brady: I don’t even believe what you’re telling me right now. Marlena got violent at the horton thanksgiving dinner?

John: How many times do I have to say this? It’s not doc. Satan is the one that’s making her do all those things.

Brady: Okay, but–

Paulina: Then– then it’s true? Dr. Marlena evans is possessed by the devil?

Ben: I promise you, nobody followed us. John is not gonna find you here. Sit down.

Marlena: Is everything all right?

Ciara: Actually no. Something here is very wrong.

[Sinister music]

As a professional bull-rider

Ben: What is it? Is it the baby?

Ciara: No. No, the baby’s fine. It’s just the way you’ve been acting–staring out the window, jumping at every sound.

Marlena: Well, I’m very, very concerned about what john could do to me if he found me. Is that what’s upsetting to you?

Ciara: Yeah, I guess that’s it. It’s just I’m having a very hard time believing that the john black that I saw is the same man that I’ve known since I was a child. I can’t believe that he’s some kind of monster. Even though I saw the way john acted and it terrified me, I can’t reconcile that with the wonderful man I’ve known my entire life. It’s like it was someone else who came to the apartment, not john black.

Marlena as john: Bitch.

[Sinister music]

Marlena: I understand. I mean, it must be very confusing, especially if you haven’t seen john behave that way before. But trust me. You both have to trust me. My husband is a very, very dangerous man.

Maggie: Need I remind you that you’re the reason that brady is even in chloe’s orbit again? Have you forgotten that you’re the one who asked your grandson to get close to her?

Victor: I just wanted to get her claws out of philip. I certainly didn’t expect brady was gonna fall for that caterwauling streetwalker again.

Maggie: And what is it I say when–when you try to meddle in other people’s lives?

Victor: Don’T.

Maggie: Precisely. And when you chose not to take my advice– now your son and your grandson are enamored yet again with a woman you can’t stand.

Chloe: I don’t know what you mean about “every intimate detail,” but I am open with you about most things.

Philip: Most things.

Chloe: Yeah, like the most important things, the things that are the deepest part of my soul. I wanna share them with you, but you know what? You don’t let me in. You don’t make it easy, and that has to change if this relationship is gonna work.

Philip: You’re telling me that I haven’t been treating my girlfriend very well.

Chloe: Well, I am glad that your ears work.

Philip: I’m sorry about this funk that I’ve been in. I’ve just–I’ve had so much on my mind.

Chloe: I know, but let’s get you out of this stuffy room, and I don’t know, get you some fresh air.

Philip: I’m sorry. I’m just–I’m not in the mood.

Chloe: Okay, so you’re not in the mood for the great outdoors, but how about I drag you down into the kitchen and make you some real food? Because sitting around here and moping and eating junk is not gonna be good for your mood.

Philip: I don’t want to go downstairs. I don’t want to run into victor or maggie.

Chloe: Okay, so you don’t wanna go anywhere, you don’t wanna go to a restaurant. Then, how about I go to a restaurant, pick up some takeout, and we can come back here and do some of that share, share, sharing that you agreed to do?

Philip: That sounds like a great idea.

Chloe: Okay.

Philip: And by the time you get back, I and this place will be very clean.

Chloe: Oh, I like that.

Philip: You sure you wanna do that before I’ve showered?

Chloe: Yeah, I’m sure.

Philip: I have the best girlfriend ever. You always take such good care of me.

Chloe: You better believe it.

[Door shuts]

[Tense music]

Philip: You couldn’t wait to get out of here, could you? You and your false concern. So go ahead, chloe. Go have sex with brady and be the whore my father always said you were.

[Phone buzzing]

Lani: She’s been calling me constantly since the wedding. The almost-wedding.

[Button beeps] Big mama probably told her everything that happened.

Abe: And in better detail, I’m sure.

Lani: I just keep sending her to voicemail. I can’t talk to her. I mean, what is there even to say?

Abe: You know I–I talked to your mother. Um, to tamara. She never meant to deceive you. She was just trying to help paulina out of a bad situation.

Lani: [Sighs] I don’t get how you can be so understanding. She didn’t just deceive me for my entire life. She turned your life upside-down, and you didn’t deserve any of this.

Abe: Neither did you. And I am upset with her too.

Lani: [Scoffs] Well, I am more than just upset. Tamara and paulina, they– they let me fall in love with this family– with you, with theo– and they knew all along that I didn’t share one drop of your blood.

Abe: Lani, lani.

Lani: No, if she– if she would have been– if she would have told me the truth when I asked if you were my father, none of this would have happened. Instead, the woman that I thought was my mother, she let me move to salem and form these connections that aren’t even real.

Abe: Who says our bonds aren’t real?

Lani: [Sobbing] Are you one of the millions of americans

Victor: Is it too much to ask that the men in my family come home with suitable mates?

Maggie: And why are you the arbiter of who is a suitable mate? Not to mention the kiriakis men aren’t exactly a walk in the park to deal with.

Victor: [Chuckles] Perhaps not. I happen to have found the– the last good woman in salem who, for some reason, saw fit to put up with the likes of this kiriakis man.

Maggie: Up to a point. I am still quite cross with you, though, victor, for meddling yet again in your kids’ love lives.

Victor: Oh, come on. Give me a break, would you? I mean, when both philip and brady are enamored with chloe lane.

Maggie: It’s none of your business, victor.

Victor: So has brady got it bad for that stupid woman?

Maggie: None of your business.

Victor: I’ll take that as a yes. But he understands that there’s no chance for a future with her, doesn’t he? Doesn’t he?

Maggie: [Sighs] Actually, I do not think he understands that. In fact, brady told me that he thought that he and chloe– they could be happy together, if only philip weren’t in the in the way.

Ciara: The man that john black has apparently become, he’s not only a danger to you, but he is a danger to everyone else around him.

Marlena: You see that now?

Ciara: Yes, yes. And that’s why I think the best thing that we can do is to call the police and let them know what’s going on–

Marlena: No, no! No. We’ve talked about this already. Come on. I’ve told you this before. John was a cop. You know, he was on the force, and you know how they all stick together. They cover for each other. All that will happen is that john will get some– a slap on the wrist, and then he’ll be even angrier when he comes after me.

Ciara: I see why you think that, but there is no way that shawn would let anything bad happen to his mother-in-law.

Marlena: And you see that I can’t take that risk.

Ciara: I’m sorry, dr. Evans, but I can. I trust that shawn is going to make the right decision.

Marlena: No! No, no. You can’t do that.

[Unsettling music]

[Monitor beeping]

John: You’re saying you actually called the devil a bitch?

Paulina: [Chuckles] Right to her– well, its face. And the devil called me one right back. It got pretty ugly, that’s for sure.

John: Paulina, you are a lucky woman. I’m glad marlena didn’t really hurt you.

Paulina: Mm, I wouldn’t say that. Now, your wife, she may not have left a visible scar, but she sure–she took a wrecking ball to my life.

Abe: Please, sit down. Let me–let me tell you a story.

Lani: Mm, I am too old for fairytales.

Abe: Just humor me, please.

Lani: Okay. Let’s hear the story.

Abe: So… once upon a time, I had a–a best friend, my partner, roman brady, who died suddenly working on a case to bring down stefano dimera.

Lani: What? I–I don’t understand. Are you–you–you’re saying that roman died?

Abe: We were all devastated when we lost him. And a few years later, an amnesiac showed up in town named john black. Well, to make a very long story very short, all of us who loved roman were eventually led to believe that he and john black were one and the same.

Lani: Oh, my lord, wh–

Abe: I had my partner back. My brother and my best friend. Well, about half a decade passed and we found out that john black wasn’t roman after all, that he had been held captive by stefano dimera all those years.

Lani: So when roman came back–

Abe: We were–we were shocked and–and delighted by roman’s return, but that–that didn’t lessen our–didn’t lessen our love and commitment to john black. The heart doesn’t work that way.

Lani: Oh, at least yours doesn’T.

Abe: Dna didn’t matter. Only the love did. And as far as I’m concerned, you are now and you always will be my daughter.

Lani: [Sighs deeply]

[Chuckles] Come here. The airport can be a real challenge for new homeowners

Marlena: I’m sorry for grabbing your phone. I’m–I’m just so on edge.

Ben: Oh, I’m sure you are. You’ve been living in fear for months.

Ciara: And wouldn’t it be better to end it all now instead of running away for the rest of your life?

Ben: Well, that’s not our choice to make, ciara. It’s hers. Don’t worry. We’re not gonna call anybody.

Marlena: Thank you. Thank you for your understanding and your compassion.

Ben: Besides, it’s–cell service is terrible out here.

[Laughter]

Marlena: So we all agree that nobody is making any phone calls, hmm?

Ciara: You know, maybe the isolation is really wonderful when we were here reconnecting, but I don’t really think it’s a great idea now. I mean, what if something happens to the baby? I am pregnant, after all.

Marlena: You know what? Everything is going to be fine. Just fine. And if anything unexpected happens, I’m a doctor. I can take care of you. So everything is gonna be perfect, with you and your precious baby. I’ll see to it.

John: Paulina, you have to know that–that marlena would–would never reveal anything you told her if she was in her right mind. I mean, she views breaking patient-doctor confidentiality a cardinal sin.

Paulina: Hmm, so to speak. But this–this devil situation is beyond incredible. But I do believe you, john.

John: Thank you, because if I hadn’t lived through this before, I wouldn’t believe it myself.

Paulina: Well, it sounds like I should have done more research before I moved to salem. And I wish I really could have known what marlena was dealing with before I gave the devil ammunition to just blow my family to smithereens, especially my relationship with abe. I don’t know. You know, I don’t think– I don’t think he’ll ever forgive me for what I did.

John: Well, I don’t know about that. I’ve known abraham for a very long time. He’s one of the most forgiving men I have ever met.

Lani: [Sighs] Are you sure that you feel this way?

Abe: Of course, I’m sure. You know you’re my daughter in every way that counts. And as for my grandchildren, don’t you even think about keeping them away from me because come hell, high water, fire, flood, or storm, they are mine,

[Laughter] Just like you’re mine. Biology be damned. You know, I–I just can’t excuse what paulina, tamara, and olivia did. I mean, I’m trying to– trying to manage my anger at being deceived for so long, but I–I can understand the choice they made.

Lani: I can too, but up to a point.

[Sighs] I do empathize with what aunt– with what paulina went through, I really do, but I can’t forgive her. I mean, she lied to us all. She hurt us too much.

Victor: Are you trying to get me to take another blood pressure pill, maggie? Brady imagining a future with chloe lane of all people?

Maggie: The possibility of a future. But he knows that as long as she’s with philip, that possibility is remote.

Victor: You don’t think he’d do anything to hurt philip, do you?

Maggie: Well, of course not. Brady would never hurt philip or anyone else. I mean, he–he was just letting off steam.

Victor: Well, let’s–let’s hope that’s all he was doing.

Maggie: Oh, you mean instead of drinking his emotions away?

Victor: No, I mean something far worse. You and I both know, maggie, even a good man can be driven by jealousy to the darkest of places.

[Laughter]

Brady: Out of all the irish pubs in the world, she had to walk out of mine. My nunormal?

Brady: My apologies for the “casablanca” misquote.

Chloe: Ah, all is forgiven.

Brady: Yeah. I thought you’d be at the hospital with your dad.

Brady: Well, he sent me for takeout.

Chloe: Oh, well, great minds.

Brady: Mm-hmm.

Chloe: How’s he holding up?

Brady: As good as can be expected, chloe. I mean, considering that his wife is running around with some kind of a demon inside of her.

Chloe: [Sighs] Yeah, okay. Well, give him my love, all right?

Brady: Of course, of course.

Chloe: Yeah, I should get going. Philip is expecting me, so. Bye, brady.

Brady: Bye. Chloe, we’ll always have the brady pub.

[Phone ringing]

[Exhales] How’s my tater tot doing? Hi, buddy. Wh–what? You’re kidding me. You won the championship game? Are you–are you serious? Oh, I’m not surprised given what a great player you are. Hey, do me a favor. Have your mother send me a video, okay?

[Monitor beeping]

John: I don’t know how much you know about abe’s late wife, lexie.

Paulina: Only what abe told me. You know, she was the love of his life, theo’s mother, a doctor, and a cop. Pillar of the community. Talk about a hard act to follow.

John: Yeah, yeah, that’s all true, that’s all true. It’s only part of the story, though, because, well, she was far from perfect.

Paulina: Go on.

John: I don’t wanna speak out of turn.

Paulina: No, it’s your turn.

John: When lexie found out that stefano dimera was her father, she– well, she wrestled with some demons of her own.

Paulina: Don’t tell me lexie was possessed too?

John: No, no, no, no, only figuratively speaking.

Paulina: Oh. Oh, god, that’s a relief. Oh, you can’t–you can’t blame a sister for wanting some clarification in this town.

John: [Laughs] No blame, no blame. What I’m saying is, there were times when she yielded to her father’s influence and kind of bent to the dark side.

Paulina: Hmm, so her halo had a few dings in it?

John: What I’m trying to say is, with lexie, abe was able to forgive what most men would have considered unforgivable.

Paulina: Oh. Oh, and here, I was thinking that she fed the multitudes and turned tap water into champagne.

John: [Chuckles] Well, if abe was able to forgive lexie, I seriously wouldn’t rule out the possibility that he could find it in his heart to forgive you too.

Abe: You know, whether you can find it in your heart to forgive paulina and tamara, that’s between you and god.

Lani: And what about you? Are you going to forgive paulina?

Abe: That’s between her and me.

Lani: And what about god?

Abe: I’m sure he’ll be involved.

[Laughter] Are you feeling better now?

Lani: I am, thanks to you.

Abe: Aw. You know, I am– I’m feeling better. Thanks to you, much. So if you don’t mind, I have to–I have to go see an old friend. Aw. You–you take care, my daughter.

Lani: [Chuckles] I will.

[Sighs] Take care, my dad.

[Laughter]

Abe: I love you.

Lani: I love you too, very much.

[Chuckles]

[Sentimental music]

Marlena: If you’ll excuse me, I’d like to collect myself.

Ben: Of course, yeah. Uh… baby, what is it? You’re very tense.

Ciara: I don’t like this at all, ben.

Ben: None of us like it, ciara. I mean, we don’t have many other options.

Ciara: Okay, well, we have to at least call belle and tell her what’s going on. I mean, marlena and john are her parents. You can’t tell me that there’s nothing belle wouldn’t do to help her mom. Plus, shawn would never forgive me for keeping this from him. He would never forgive me.

Ben: And you may be right, but we’re not fighting dr. Evans on this.

Ciara: I know, but something just feels off here, ben, okay? Way off.

[Knocking on door] It’s my 4:05 the-show-must-go-on

[Knocking on door]

Ciara: Ben, what do we do?

Ben: Only thing we can do.

Marlena: No, stop!

Ben: There’s no way it’s going to be john.

Marlena: You don’t that. You don’t know who it is. Oh, I’m begging you, please don’t open that door.

[Elevator dings]

[Dramatic music]

[Phone ringing]

Lani: [Inhales deeply] Hi, mom.

Maggie: Oh, chloe.

Chloe: Oh, hi, maggie.

Maggie: Hi, darling. I didn’t know you were stopping by.

Chloe: Actually, it’s my second time here today. Philip asked me to get some takeout.

Maggie: Oh, that’s nice. A romantic little dinner for two.

Chloe: Uh, yeah, it would be, except he’s not in his room and I haven’t seen him. Do you–do you know where he is?

Maggie: Um…

Brady: No, buddy, I wish I could have been there to see you score that winning goal. But you know I’m proud of you, right? Good, good. Listen, hey, let’s video chat over the weekend. Is that good? All right. I love you too, buddy.

Update written by Joseph

Ava goes to see Gwen at the Salem Inn. Gwen asks who she is. Ava responds that according to Kristen, she’s her new partner in crime. Gwen says she doesn’t know what Kristen told her. Ava tells her to save it and shut the door, because what they have to talk about is private. Gwen asks if Ava is on Kristen’s payroll. Ava says no, but she owes her, so she expects her to help Gwen break her out of jail which is why she is here. Gwen guesses Kristen is blackmailing her. Ava tells her to stop acting like she doesn’t know what she’s talking about, because they have to put their heads together and figure out a way to break Kristen out of jail and they need to do it fast.

Rafe informs Kristen that the prison van is already on it’s way because he pulled strings to get her out of here as soon as possible, so it should be there in about an hour. Kristen mutters that it’s too soon. Rafe asks if she has a pressing appointment. Kristen responds that she hasn’t been able to say goodbye to anyone. Rafe asks who in this town would be sad to see her go. Lani then arrives and says her best friend would be.

Xander argues that Susan has to remember calling him on the day of his wedding to warn him about Rex and Sarah heading upstairs at the Brady Pub. Susan is confused as she doesn’t remember any of this. Susan blames it on a shot that made her forget stuff. Xander says he will never forget Susan opening his eyes to Sarah being unfaithful.

Allie goes to the Brady Pub and finds Lucas. Lucas asks if something is wrong. Allie realizes he doesn’t know about Marlena. Allie informs Lucas that Marlena is possessed by the Devil again. Lucas questions if this is a movie stunt. Allie assures that this is real as Belle just told her. Lucas calls it impossible. Allie says Belle swears that it’s true. Allie admits she didn’t believe it when people told her about Marlena back in the 90s. Lucas asks if anyone knows where she is. Allie doesn’t know as she tried calling Will, Johnny, and Sydney but nobody is picking up and Sami is still missing.

Jason brings Sami her breakfast. Sami apologizes for taking his phone and says it won’t happen again. When Jason goes to leave, Sami then knocks him out with the food tray from behind and runs out the door but is stopped by another locked door.

Abe goes to see Eli, who asks how he’s doing. Abe responds that he’s been better. Eli still can’t believe that Chanel thought his wedding was the right time to make her announcement. Abe says there is no time to get news like that. Abe asks if Lani is there and if she will see him. Eli responds that Lani is not there and he doesn’t know when she will be back.

Kristen warns Lani that she will take a lot of flack for coming to see her. Lani says she can handle that but couldn’t let her go back to prison without saying goodbye. Kristen asks for a moment alone, so Rafe says he will let her know when the van arrives and exits. Lani tells Kristen that she’s sorry about all of this. Kristen says she brought it all on herself. Kristen tells Lani that she can see in her eyes that something is wrong. Lani informs her that her whole world was just turned upside down as she found out that Abe is not her birth father and that her whole life has just been kind of a lie.

Ava introduces herself to Gwen. Gwen recognizes her last name and says that her ex, Jake, used to work for her crime family. Ava says she’s not here to make friends as she has a lot riding on this. Gwen relates, saying that if she doesn’t pull through for Kristen then she will take away the one good thing she has left in her life.

Xander tells Susan about how he caught Sarah and Rex about to make love and she called off his wedding. Xander says he moved on, met someone new, and now he’s happy again, so he wanted to come thank Susan for telling him about Sarah. Susan insists that she doesn’t know what he’s talking about and asks when this all happened. Xander informs her it was this past March. Susan then reveals that it wasn’t her, it was Kristen DiMera who told him about Sarah which shocks Xander.

Lucas asks Allie if Belle is sure about Marlena. Allie says it sounded like it. Lucas knows Sami would want to be here and know but she hasn’t kept in touch with anyone. Allie brings up the text that got saying Sami needed time for herself but that was over three months ago. They admit to being worried about Sami. Allie wonders if something happened to Sami.

Sami locks the first door with Jason inside and tries to unlock the second door but the key breaks.

Ava asks Gwen for a drink so she tosses her a bottle. Ava mentions that she already got Kristen out of a jam once but no good deed goes unpunished. Gwen asks what Kristen is holding over Ava’s head then. Ava responds that if Kristen tells Rafe what she knows about her, then she’s going to lose him forever. Gwen calls her a brave one. Ava asks what Kristen has on Gwen. Gwen responds that Kristen has certain information that if it were to get back to the man she loves, she would lose him for sure. Ava says it sounds like they better put their thinking caps on or they are both going to be alone.

Susan reveals to Xander that Kristen switched places with her so she could keep an eye on Brady, Rachel, and Chloe, so Kristen was out free while she was stuck in prison. Xander knew Kristen had escaped but didn’t know she was pretending to be Susan. Xander asks when the switch happened. Susan tells him that it was February so Xander realizes that Kristen was the one who told him. Xander decides he needs to go pay Kristen a visit as he storms out of the room.

Abe tells Eli that he called Lani a couple times but she hasn’t picked up. Eli doesn’t think she knows how to talk to him just yet. Abe says that’s why he kept his distance as he can’t imagine what she’s going through. Eli calls it some scheme that Tamara and Olivia came up with and Lani is furious as she’s not even taking Tamara’s calls. Abe mentions talking to Tamara last night and it not going well.

Lani explains to Kristen how Paulina is her real mother and her biological father was an abusive boyfriend. Kristen says she’s so sorry but she knows how close Lani and Abe are. Kristen asks why she thought Abe was her father. Lani explains that Tamara told her that he was and they thought of everything. Lani says Tamara, Paulina, and Olivia all cooked it up together. Lani talks about the instant connection when she first met Abe and how he was the father she always wanted and needed. Kristen remembers how much Lani missed Abe when they were in the convent. Lani cries about how Abe just wanted to be there for her then, like he has been from the moment she told him that she was his daughter. Lani says she’s been through so much since then and Abe has given so much love and support. Lani cannot believe this is happening as yesterday she had the perfect father and now it hurts so much.

Xander goes to the police station and tells Rafe that he needs to speak with Kristen now. Rafe says she has a visitor so Xander says he’ll wait but Rafe says there won’t be time for that, because the prison van is on it’s way and she’s on her way back to Statesville. Xander declares that Kristen’s not going anywhere until he’s had his say.

Gwen asks Ava if she has any brilliant ideas. Ava asks if she can handle a gun. Gwen doesn’t feel like dying so she says to cross that off her list. Ava asks what Gwen’s skills are. Gwen responds that she drugged her half-sister to put her in the hospital for months and then seduced her husband. Ava calls those impressive skills but she’s not sure how that will help get Kristen out of jail. Gwen suggests drugging the guards but Ava says they don’t have time for that. Ava declares that she’s not losing Rafe over this. Gwen adds that she’s not keen on losing Xander either. Ava informs Gwen that she knows Xander as they spent time in a sort of rehab in Nashville. Ava jokes that it wouldn’t be a bad thing to lose him but Gwen tells her to mind her own business. Gwen asks what Ava’s skills are. Ava responds that you don’t grow up in the Vitali family without learning something. Ava declares that she’s got it. Gwen questions her not telling her what it is. Ava tells her to grab her stuff and go then she will tell her on the way.

Sami goes back in to the room where Jason is knocked out. Sami tells herself that she still has time to figure this out and remembers Jason’s phone. Sami takes the phone back from Jason and tries to make a call but gets a busy signal and then no connection. Sami tries to figure out what numbers she knows by heart that she can call.

Allie reveals to Lucas that Marlena almost killed John and Susan in the DiMera Crypt. Allie remembers when she, Johnny, and Chanel played with the Ouija board on Halloween and it said the Devil was in Salem at the DiMera Crypt, then Johnny went down there and Marlena was there. Lucas can’t believe it. Allie is just glad Marlena didn’t do something bad to Johnny. Allie then gets a call from an unknown number. She answers it and it’s Sami, who says thank God she picked up. Allie is surprised to hear from her mom and asks where she is.

Abe admits to Eli that he lost his cool with Tamara. Eli understands since she let him think Lani was his daughter when she knew damn well that was a lie. Abe says it’s one thing to keep Paulina’s secret after taking the baby in but he doesn’t understand why they let he and Lani think they were father and daughter all these years. Eli asks if he asked Tamara to explain that. Abe says she just said what Paulina said about how Lani grew up, became a cop, and wanted to look for her dad and he was the only man that Tamara was involved with around the time that Lani was conceived, so Tamara let her think she was right so she would stop looking and not find out the kind of man her father really was. Abe states that Tamara thought it was better for Lani to gain a father then lose a mother. Eli notes that now she feels like she’s lost both.

Kristen tells Lani that just because Abe is not her birth father doesn’t mean the connection isn’t still there. Kristen relates to being adopted and knows family ties are more than blood. Lani agrees. Kristen asks if they’ve talked since this all came out. Lani says no as Abe has called but she can’t bring herself to pick up. Kristen asks why not. Lani is pretty sure Abe will want to see her and she keeps thinking that if she avoids seeing him, she could pretend like none of this is real. Kristen tells her that she’s going to have to see Abe at some point. Lani cries that she doesn’t know if she’s strong enough. Kristen encourages that she is. Kristen reminds her that they have faced a lot of heartbreak in life and have always found a way to get through it. Kristen promises that even though they have new rotten things to face, they will get through this too no matter what it takes.

Rafe questions if Xander is here to delay Kristen’s transfer. Xander gives his word that he wouldn’t lift a finger to help Kristen. Rafe blows off Xander’s word. Xander says he has to talk to Kristen. Rafe tells him to find out when visiting hours are at prison. Xander argues that this can’t wait as it’s about Maggie’s daughter, Sarah. Rafe asks what about her. Xander says he can’t explain until after he’s talked to Kristen and he’s not leaving until he does. Rafe reminds him that Kristen is in with a visitor. Lani then comes out of the interrogation room and thanks Rafe as she then exits the station. Xander points out that Kristen is now all alone.

Ava and Gwen go to Statesville prison and approach the guards. The guard says this is restricted area and tells them to get lost. Ava introduces herself as part of the Vitali family and says she knows they are there to pick up Kristen to take her to prison, but she’s here to tell them it’s not going to happen.

Allie tells Sami that she’s so relieved that she called as they’ve been so worried about her and now something has happened to Marlena. Sami reveals that she already knows Marlena has been possessed again which Allie questions. Sami tells Allie that she’s in deep trouble and needs her help. Allie asks what she has done now. Sami reveals that she was kidnapped. Lucas asks what she is saying. Allie tells Lucas that Sami has been kidnapped. Lucas then grabs the phone and asks Sami what the hell is going on.

Ava instructs the guards that when they pick up Kristen, they are not to take her to prison and that Kristen will tell them where she wants to go. The guards say they don’t take orders from Ava and no one does anymore. Ava warns that they would be foolish to think she doesn’t have power in the family anymore so they shouldn’t cross her. The guard mocks her being intimidating. Gwen then tells the guards that Ava is the one who killed Carmine. The guards say they don’t want any trouble. Ava says to do as she says and they won’t regret it. Ava claims that she has people looking in on their families right now and she’d hate to have to send Gwen after them. Ava asks the guards if they are going to cooperate or should she give Gwen her orders.

Rafe brings Xander in to the interrogation room. Kristen questions what Xander is doing here. Rafe says they are about to find out and tells Xander to make it quick. Xander brings up how on his wedding day last March, he got a call from Susan Banks, warning him that Sarah and Rex were about to hook up but it just came to his attention that it wasn’t Susan who called him, it was Kristen. Kristen asks what if it was and suggests maybe she was trying to do him a favor. Xander asks why since Kristen despises him and never helps anyone else which Rafe agrees with. Kristen asks what she gets out of informing on Sarah and Rex. Xander doesn’t know yet but his gut tells him that Kristen had a hand in Sarah dumping him for Rex. Kristen calls that ridiculous but remarks that she did the right thing. Kristen claims she didn’t have any influence on Sarah one way or the other. Xander asks if she convinced Rex to come back to Salem to seduce Sarah. Kristen says no but Xander doesn’t believe her as he knows there’s something she’s not telling him. Rafe gets a text that the prison van is here and says it’s time to go. Kristen stops him and says since she’s going back to prison, she might as well set the record straight. Kristen then declares that there is something Rafe and Xander need to know.

Lucas asks Sami where exactly she is. Sami says she can’t tell him but she’s been locked in a tiny room for months. Lucas asks who did this to her. Sami explains that he doesn’t know as all she sees are guards and they aren’t very chatty but she finally stole a phone from one of them. Sami mentions calling Marlena but she has her own problems right now which Lucas says he just heard about. Sami says Lucas has to help her. Sami mentions that she called EJ. Lucas asks if he refused to help her. Sami says no but the phone died before she could even talk to EJ and now it’s charged, but she knocked out the guard and she’s really afraid of what he’s going to do when he wakes up. Lucas asks if there’s a map feature on the phone. Sami says no as it’s just a burner phone. Lucas tells her that she will have to check the guard’s pockets then. Jason starts to wake up so Sami hits him again with the tray to knock him out and then begins searching his pockets.

Eli brings his son Carver down to Abe. Abe holds Carver while Eli gets his juice. Abe talks about Carver almost turning a year old. Abe then asks if Eli is thinking of changing Carver’s name. Eli says hell no. Eli tells him that Theo is still their uncle and Abe is their grandfather. Eli adds that Theo may be in South Africa but he’s going to make sure they video chat. Abe knows Theo will be in Salem as often as his job allows. Eli says he better because his niece and nephew love him very much. Eli assures Abe that he’s their grandfather and will be as long as he’s on this planet. Abe thanks him and hands Carver back to Eli. Eli still thinks Abe is the greatest father in law a man could ever have. Abe thanks him as they hug. Abe then goes to leave just as Lani comes home.

Kristen tells Xander that he’s right that it was her who called him on his wedding day to tell him about Rex and Sarah. Kristen starts to tell him what he didn’t know but Gwen comes in and says she’s sorry to interrupt. Xander asks what she’s doing there. Gwen says she’s here to see him. Xander questions how she knew he was here. Gwen claims she was just passing by and saw his car outside so she thought maybe he was in trouble. Xander explains that he came to have a word with Kristen. Gwen asks what about. Kristen responds that Xander thinks she had something to do with Sarah leaving with Rex. Xander says that Kristen just admitted that she had something to confess about that. Rafe argues that the van is waiting so it’s now or never. Kristen then claims her confession is that she wasn’t doing Xander a favor as she took great joy in puncturing his dream of happiness. Xander questions making a call being all she did and if she didn’t manipulate Sarah in to choosing Rex over him. Kristen claims she was just in the right place at the right time and that she couldn’t have planned it better herself…

Lucas asks Sami if she’s still there. Sami finds Jason’s smart phone in his pocket. Lucas instructs her to go to maps. Sami worries that it’s not loading. Lucas encourages her to be patient. Sami complains that she’s been locked in this room since August. Lucas can’t believe she’s been held against her will this entire time. Allie realizes Sami didn’t ghost them and regrets not looking for her. Lucas assures it’s not her fault. Sami says the phone is stalling and blames the reception. Lucas tells her to text whatever she can to Allie. Sami says she’s sending it and hopes that it goes through.

Rafe brings Kristen out and tells the guards that he’s sorry for the delay but she’s all theirs. They tell Rafe not to worry as they will take it from here.

Xander and Gwen walk through the town square together. Gwen notes that he hasn’t said much. Xander doesn’t think Kristen was telling him the truth as she hates him. Gwen questions why Kristen would go through so much trouble to break him and Sarah up and what she would get out of it. Xander talks about how Rex just showed up out of the blue. Gwen suggests Rex found out about the wedding and decided he didn’t want to lose Sarah to someone else. Xander guesses Sarah could’ve realized she was on the rebound when she fell for him, but either way she chose Rex and not him, so that’s all there is to it. Xander and Gwen then walk off together.

Ava walks past the Brady Pub and calls Rafe to ask if they can meet for dinner. Rafe says that sounds like a plan and informs her that he just turned Kristen over to the guards at Statesville, so she’s their problem now.

The prison guards free Kristen from her handcuffs and ask where she wants to go now. Kristen says she hasn’t decided yet but she wants to get as far away as possible from this God forsaken place. The guards then escort Kristen outside.

Lani didn’t know Abe was coming over today. Abe says he wanted to see how she was doing but maybe that was a mistake. Eli goes to check on the babies. Abe tells Lani that the last thing he wants to do is put more pressure on her but he just wants her to know that he’s here whenever she is ready. Abe then turns to leave but Lani stops him and asks him to stay. Lani thinks it’s time they had a chance to talk.

Sami asks if Lucas has gotten her location yet but he says not yet. Sami cries that this has to work as the guard will wake up any moment and she has no idea what he’s going to do to her. Allie encourages Sami to stay calm. Sami argues that she’s trying. Lucas then gets the text with her location and tells her to hang on as he’s on his way. Lucas then gets up and rushes out of the Pub.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Gwen: what kristen dimera told you–

Ava: Ah, save it. Shut that door because what we have to talk about is private.

Gwen: Are you on kristen’s payroll or something?

Ava: No, but I owe her, or at least she sees it that way. So she expects me to help you break her out of jail. That’s why I’m here.

Gwen: So e’s blackmailing you.

Ava: As she is you, sweetie. So stop acting like you don’t know what I’m talking about because we need to put our heads together and figure out a way to break her out of jail, and we need to do it fast.

Kristen: The van is already on its way?

Rafe: Oh, yeah. See, I pulled strings to get you out of here as soon as possible. The van back to statesville should be here in about an hour.

Kristen: That’s too soon.

Rafe: What’s that? You have a pressing appointment maybe?

Kristen: Well, I haven’t been able to say goodbye to anyone.

Rafe: And who in this town would be sad to see you go?

Lani: Her best friend.

Xander: You have to know what I’m talking about; you called me on the day of my wedding.

Susan: Oh, what did I say?

Xander: You warned me about rex and sarah. You said you saw them at the brady pub as they were heading upstairs to one of the rooms.

Susan: I did?

Xander: This doesn’t ring a bell?

Susan: You know what? They gave me one of those shots, and it just made me forget stuff.

Xander: Let me tell you what you said because I will never forget you opening my eyes about my unfaithful fiancéE.

Allie: Oh good, you’re here.

Lucas: What, something wrong?

Allie: You don’t know about grandma marlena?

Lucas: No, what about her?

Allie: Okay, this is going to sound off the wall, but i swear it’s true. She’s possessed by the devil again.

Lucas: If this is some stunt that johnny put you up to for his movie–

Allie: No, no.

Lucas: I’m telling you.

Allie: No, it’s for real! Aunt belle just told me.

Lucas: Belle told you that? That’s not possible, not again.

Allie: That’s what I said too, but no, she says it’s true. She swears it’s true.

Lucas: I guess this is making a little bit more sense now. Yes, it’s a creepy kind of sense, but…

Allie: I didn’t believe it when people told me about grandma back in the ’90s.

Lucas: Does anyone know where she is, mainly the cops?

Allie: I don’t know–I mean, I tried calling will, johnny, and sydney, but no one’s picking up, and of course, there’s mom, who’s still mia.

Sami: You know, I just have to do it. Take everything off the tray. I don’t like airplanes, cafeterias, ever since I was a little kid. I had to eat it separate.

Jason: Hey, whatever works. It’s all good.

Sami: Right? Oh, jason, I just want to say I’m sorry about the phone thing. It won’t happen again.

Jason: Cool, it better not.

Sami: Mm-hmm, okay.

[Dramatic music]

What? Dammit, dammit to hell!

Male announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “days of our lives.”

[Soft orchestration]

Eli: Abe, come on in. How you doing, man?

Abe: Well, I have been better.

Eli: Yeah, I’m sure. I still can’t believe that chanel thought that your wedding was the right time to make her announcement.

Abe: Oh, there’s no time to get news like that. So is lani here? You think she’ll see me?

Abe: No, lani’s not here right now, and to be honest, I don’t know when she’ll be back.

Kristen: You’re gonna take a lot of flack for coming here to see me.

Lani: I can handle that. I couldn’t let you go back to prison without saying goodbye. Do you mind giving us a moment alone, please?

Rafe: I’ll let you know when the van arrives.

[Phone ringing]

Lani: I’m sorry about all this.

Kristen: I brought it on myself. Hey, what about you? Something’s wrong. I can see it in your eyes. Come on, lani.

Lani: To be honest, my whole world has just been turned upside down.

Kristen: What happened?

Lani: I found out that abe is not my birth father and that my whole life has just been kind of a lie.

Gwen: If you and I are gonna break kristen out of jail together, I should probably know your name.

Ava: Ava vitali.

Gwen: Vitali, as in…

Ava: The vitali crime family? Yes.

Gwen: My ex used to work for your organization.

Ava: Jake dimera.

Gwen: Right.

Ava: Not a fan.

Gwen: Yeah. Well, that’s something else we’ve got in common then.

Ava: Look, I don’t mean to be rude here, but I’m not here to make friends. I got a lot riding on this.

Gwen: That makes two of us because if I don’t pull through for miss dimera, she’s going to take away the one good thing that I have left in my miserable life.

Xander: And after I talked to you, I ran over to the pub, and I caught them. Sarah and rex were just about to make love, and I blew my stack. Sarah told me that she wanted him, not me, and well, she called off our wedding right there and then.

Susan: I’m so sorry. That just sounds awful.

Xander: Felt like I’d been hit in the gut by a cricket bat. But I got over it, finally. Met someone new, and I’m happy again, so I wanted to come over here and thank you for putting me right about sarah.

Susan: Okay, you’re welcome. I guess, I just don’t–i really don’t know what you’re talking… okay, hold on just a moment, please. When did all this happen? The phone call?

Xander: This past march.

Susan: All right, I get it.

Xander: Oh, so you do remember?

Susan: No, see I couldn’t because it wasn’t me. It was that mean, mean, mean kristen dimera. She’s the one who told you about your sarah. Serena: It’s my 3:10

Lucas: Is belle sure about marlena?

Allie: Sounds like it.

Lucas: My god, I can’t believe this; your mother would want to be here. She’d want to know. She hasn’t kept in touch with anybody, you or me, johnny, sidney, nobody.

Allie: She sent us that text saying she needed time to herself. That was over three months ago.

Lucas: I know, I know.

Allie: You worried about her?

Lucas: I am now.

Allie: Yeah, I am, too. Dad, what if something happened to her?

[Dramatic music]

Sami: Budge, you stupid key! No, no, no, no, no, no! No, no, now what? No.

Ava: Got anything to drink around here? Classy.

Gwen: Oh, excuse me, sorry. I didn’t realize I’d be serving tea to her majesty.

Ava: You know, I already got kristen out of one jam, but I guess no good deed goes unpunished.

Gwen: What’s she holding over your head then?

Ava: If kristen tells rafe what she knows about me, then I’m gonna lose him forever.

Gwen: Rafe, rafe? Rafe hernandez, the police commissioner? Oh, you are a brave one, aren’t you, love?

Ava: So what she got on you?

Gwen: Kristen has certain information. If it were to get back to the man I love, I would lose him for sure.

Ava: Well then, sweetie, it sounds like we better put our thinking caps on, or we’re both gonna be alone.

Susan: I know she told me to switch places with her so she could keep an eye on mr. Brady black and that little baby of hers, rachel, and that little thingamajiggy, the cheeky fool with the big eyes, that chloe lane thing. I don’t care. Anyway, she was out there free as a bird. And then I was stuck in that statesville prison.

Xander: I knew kristen had gone over the wall, but I didn’t know she was pretending to be you.

Susan: Yeah, well, nobody did.

Xander: When did the switch happen?

Susan: February.

Xander: So kristen was the one who called me.

Susan: I just told you that, honey. Okay, whatchu thinking?

Xander: That I need to pay kristen a little visit.

Susan: Oh, you’re gonna thank her?

Xander: Something like that.

[Tense music]

I’ve lost count of how many asthma attacks I’ve had.

Abe: Thank you, you know, I called lani a couple of times, but she hasn’t picked up.

Eli: I don’t think she knows how to talk to you just yet.

Abe: And that’s why I kept my distance. I can’t imagine what she’s going through.

Eli: That is some scheme tamara and olivia came up with. And lani’s furious; she’s not even taking tamara’s calls.

Abe: I know. I spoke to tammy last night.

Eli: How’d that go?

Abe: How do you think?

Eli: Not well.

Abe: That’s an understatement.

Kristen: So your aunt paulina is your real mother, and your biological father is…

Lani: A boyfriend who used to abuse her.

Kristen: Oh honey, I am so sorry, but I know how close you and abe are.

Lani: Yeah, even though i didn’t grow up with him.

Kristen: Hey, why did you think he was your father?

Lani: Tamara told me he was. Right after I found out, she said that they had a short affair around the time I was conceived. She said he was involved with someone else, so she never told him that she got pregnant.

Kristen: Well, I guess she thought of everything.

Lani: They did, all of them, her, paulina, her mom. They all cooked it up together. I mean, the second I met abe, there was this instant connection. He was the father that I always wanted, the father that I needed.

Kristen: Yeah, I know how much you missed him when we were back in the convent. And I know you hated lying to him about where you were and why you ran away.

Lani: Yeah, he was pretty upset about that, mostly because he just wanted to be there for me, like he has been there for me since the moment that I told him I was his daughter. And I have gone through so much since that day, and he’s given me so much love and support. I just–I cannot believe that this is happening. It was just yesterday I had the perfect father, and now I just–I don’t know. I just–it hurts so much.

Kristen: I know, I know.

Xander: I need to speak with kristen now.

Rafe: Well, she’s in there, but she’s with a visitor.

Xander: Fine, I’ll wait.

Rafe: Yeah, I don’t think there’s gonna be time for that. Prison van’s on its way here. She’s going back to statesville.

Xander: That conniving slag’s not going anywhere until I’ve had my say.

Ava: Got another one?

Gwen: Got any brilliant ideas?

Ava: Can you handle a gun?

Gwen: Not as well as a cop can and I don’t feel like dying, so how about you just cross that one off your list?

Ava: So what are your skillsets?

Gwen: I was a super nanny. Yeah, okay. Drugged my half-sister, put her in hospital for months, and then after that, I seduced her husband.

Ava: Those are impressive skills, but I’m not sure how it’s gonna help us get kristen out of jail.

Gwen: Drug the guards?

Ava: We don’t have time for that. Damn, I’m not losing rafe over this.

Gwen: Well, I’m not exactly keen on losing xander either.

Ava: Xander? Xander cook?

Gwen: Yes, you know him?

Ava: We were on a sort of rehab together in nashville. He was euphemistically referred to as the caretaker.

Gwen: I see.

Ava: You sure it wouldn’t be a bad thing to lose him?

Gwen: Oy, you mind your own business.

Ava: To each his own.

Gwen: Enough about me, what’s your skillset then exactly?

Ava: You don’t grow up in the vitali family without learning something. Got it.

Gwen: What?

Ava: Let’s go.

Gwen: You’re not gonna tell me–

Ava: Just grab your stuff, and let’s go. I’ll tell you on the way.

Sami: Okay. Okay. I still have time. I still have time to figure this out, okay. There’s just gotta be a way to get out of– a phone, he has that phone. Okay. Okay, okay. What? 911 can’t have a busy signal! Now it’s not even connecting. Come on, come on, you stupid… what numbers do I know by heart? I can’t call my mother. Who can I call?

Lucas: Marlena almost killed john and susan?

Allie: Yeah, that’s what I heard. She had him chained up in the dimera crypt.

Lucas: Oh, my…

Allie: Oh, my god.

Lucas: What, what?

Allie: Johnny, and chanel, and I were playing with a ouija board on halloween, and it told johnny that the devil was here in salem at the dimera crypt. And then johnny decided to go down to his family’s crypt, and grandma marlena was there.

Lucas: Oh, my god, I can’t believe this.

Allie: I mean, I’m just glad she didn’t do something bad to him.

Lucas: Well, thank god she didn’T. Who is it? Is it will or sydney?

Allie: No, it’s an unknown number. Hello?

Sami: Thank god you picked up–it’s me.

Allie: Mom? Where are you?

Align. Fast acting biotic

gummies

Abe: You know, I have to admit that I lost my cool with tamara.

Eli: Why wouldn’t you? She let you think that lani was your daughter when she knew damn well that was a lie.

Abe: It was one thing to keep paulina’s secret after they took the baby in.

Eli: Especially since there was an abusive boyfriend in the picture.

Abe: Right, right, what i don’t understand is why they let lani and me think we were father and daughter all those years.

Eli: Well, did you ask tamara to explain that?

Abe: She said the same thing that paulina said. You know, lani grew up, she became a cop. She decided she wanted to look for her dad. And she did the math and found out that I was the only man that tamara was involved with about the time that lani was conceived. She confronted tamara. Tamara let her think she was right ’cause she didn’t want her looking, find out exactly what kind of man her father was.

Eli: I get that part, I guess.

Abe: Tamara thought it was better for lani to gain a father than lose a mother.

Eli: Except now she feels like she’s lost both.

Kristen: Just because abe isn’t your birth father, the connection between the two of you is still there. As someone who was adopted, I know that the family ties are more than the blood.

Lani: Yeah, you’re right.

Kristen: So just tell me something. Have you guys talked since this all came out?

Lani: Mm-mm. He’s called but I just–i can’t bring myself to pick up.

Kristen: Okay, honey, honey, why not?

Lani: Because I’m pretty sure that he’s gonna want to see me and I just–I keep thinking that if I can avoid seeing him, I can pretend like–oh, I can pretend like none of this is real.

Kristen: Yes, yes, but, honey, you’re gonna have to see him at some point.

Lani: I know, I just don’t know if I’m strong enough.

Kristen: You know what? You are strong enough. You are. Because you and I–hey, look at me. You and I have faced a lot of heartbreak in our life, and we have always found a way to get through it. And guess what? Even though we have some new rotten things that we have to face, we are gonna get through this too, no matter what it takes. I promise.

Rafe: If you’re here to delay kristen’s transfer–

Xander: I wouldn’t lift a finger to help that woman. You have my word.

Rafe: Oh, and your word means so much to me.

Xander: I have to talk to kristen.

Rafe: Well, then find out when visiting days are at statesville.

Xander: This can’t wait. It’s about maggie’s daughter, sarah.

Rafe: What about her?

Xander: I can’t explain until after I’ve talked to kristen. I’m not leaving until I do. I promise you.

Rafe: I told you she’s in there with a visitor.

Lani: Thank you, rafe.

Rafe: Yeah, sure, lani.

Xander: So kristen’s all alone now, right?

I’ll let the commish know we’re here.

Ava: Excuse me, you guys are from statesville prison, right?

What do you care?

Ava: Hoping to have a word with you.

This is a restricted area. Get lost.

Gwen: Mm, I would not talk to her that way. Do you have any idea who she is?

Don’t know, don’t care. Now beat it.

Ava: I’m ava vitali of the vitali family. You know who they are, right?

Yeah, and?

Ava: And I know you’re here to pick up kristen dimera and take her to prison. I’m here to tell you it’s not gonna happen.

Allie: I am so relieved that you called, mom.

Sami: Allie, listen to me.

Allie: We have been so worried about you, and now something happened with grandma.

Sami: She’s been possessed. I know, okay? I know that already.

Allie: How did you–

Sami: Allie, listen to me. I am in deep trouble, and I need your help.

Allie: What have you done now?

Sami: Nothing. I was kidnapped.

Allie: Are you kidding?

Lucas: What did she say? What did she say?

Allie: She got kidnapped.

Lucas: She what? Give me the phone. Sami! Sami, what the hell is going on?

Ava: Now, listen carefully. When kristen dimera is placed in your custody, you’re not taking her to statesville. She’ll tell you where she wants to go. You do as she says.

Sorry, princess, but we don’t take orders from you.

Way I hear it, no one takes orders from you anymore.

Ava: I’ve put my cousin angelo in charge. You’d be very foolish to think I don’t have power in the family anymore. If I were you, I would not cross me.

You? You’re about as intimidating as a chihuahua.

Gwen: Yeah, I’m sure that’s what carmine merlino thought.

The guy who shot the mayor?

Gwen: That’s right, but he’s dead. And miss vitali here is the one who killed him. Stabbed him right in the heart.

See, I read it was self-defense.

Ava: Still dead, isn’t he?

Look, we don’t want any trouble.

Ava: Good, then do as I say, and you won’t regret it. I’ve got people looking in on your families right now, and soon, we’re gonna be very intimate. I’m gonna know the names of your kids, their teachers, soccer practice schedule, fun things like that. You know, I’d hate to have to ask my associate here to look in on your loved ones.

Her?

Ava: They call her the nanny because she knows how to put disobedient boys like you in their place. So what’s it gonna be, boys, hm? You gonna cooperate, or do I give my associate, the nanny, her orders?

Kristen: What is he doing here?

Rafe: We’re about to find out. Make it quick.

Xander: On my wedding day, last march, I got a call from one susan banks warning me that my sarah and rex brady were about to hook up. But it just came to my attention that it wasn’t susan that called me. It was you

Kristen: What if it was? Maybe I was trying to do you a favor.

Xander: Why? You despise me. You never lift a finger to help anyone else.

Rafe: He’s got that right.

Kristen: What do I get out of informing on sarah and rex brady?

Xander: I don’t know yet, but my gut tells me that you had a hand in her dumping me for rex.

Kristen: Oh, that is ridiculous. Not that I don’t think she did the right thing. I mean, my god, a doctor, you? No, no, I didn’t have any influence on her one way or another.

Xander: What about rex? Did you convince him to come to salem to seduce my fiancée?

Kristen: No.

Xander: I don’t believe you. I know there’s something you’re not telling me, kristen.

Rafe: Van’s here, time to go.

Kristen: Wait, just wait a minute. Since I’m heading back to prison, I might as well set the record straight. You see, there’s something you two need to know.

Lucas: Listen, you tell me exactly where you are.

Sami: I can’T. I’ve been locked in this god damn room for months.

Lucas: Who did this to you?

Sami: I don’t know, okay? All I see are guards, and they’re not very chatty. I finally managed to steal this cell phone off of one of them, but I tried to call my mom. She’s got her own problems right now.

Lucas: Yeah, yeah, I know. I just heard about it.

Sami: Listen, you have to help me. I called ej–

Lucas: What, that jackass refused to help you?

Sami: No, no, no, okay? The phone died before I could even talk to him, and then it’s charged again, but the guard, I knocked him out, and I’m really afraid of what he’s gonna do when he wakes up.

Lucas: All right, all right. Is there a map feature on that phone?

Sami: No, I don’t think so. I think it’s just a burner phone.

Lucas: Well, you’re gonna have to check the guard. Check his pocket, see if he’s got a smartphone.

Sami: Okay, hold on a second.

[Groans]

[Tense music]

It’s my 4:05 the-show-must-go-on

Abe: Hello, look at you.

Eli: Look woke up in time just to say hi.

Abe: Hey, carver.

Eli: He likes a bottle of juice when he wakes up. You mind holding him while I grab ’em?

Abe: Oh, I would love to. I would love to. Here, little boy, yeah.

Eli: There we go.

Abe: So how was your nap, huh? How was your nap, yeah?

Eli: Don’t be surprised if he tries to hop out of your lap. He and jules are into everything nowadays.

Abe: Yeah, you wanna walk, don’t you? Yes, you do. You know, why shouldn’t you? You’re almost a year old. Oh, yes, yes. Ah.

Eli: You okay?

Abe: Yeah, yeah. You know, I just… well, are you thinking of changing his name?

Eli: Hell no. Abe, I’ll tell you the same thing I told theo. He’s still their uncle, and you are still their grandfather. Even though theo is gonna be in south africa, we’re gonna make sure that the twins video chat him.

Abe: Well, you know, theo’s gonna be here in salem as often as his job allows.

Eli: Well, he better because his little niece and nephew love him very much. Abe, you’re their grandfather, okay, nothing’s gonna change. You will be that as long as you’re on this planet.

Abe: Thank you. Yes, here you go. Giving you back to daddy, okay? Oh, I think I’d better go.

Eli: Okay.

Abe: All right.

Eli: Look, abe, just so you know, I still think that you are the greatest father-in-law a man could ever have.

Abe: Thank you.

Eli: Thank you.

Abe: Hey, you.

Eli: Can you say bye to grandfather?

Abe: Bye-bye.

Lani: Dad.

Kristen: You’re right. It was me who called you on your wedding day and told you about rex and sarah, but what you didn’t know–

Gwen: I’m sorry to interrupt. Hello.

Xander: Hi, what are you doing here?

Gwen: I’m here to see you.

Xander: How did you know I was here?

Gwen: Well, I was just passing by, I saw your car outside, and I thought maybe you’d gotten yourself into trouble.

Xander: No, I came to have a word with kristen.

Gwen: About what?

Kristen: Your boyfriend thinks that I had something to do with sarah horton leaving with rex brady.

Xander: And kristen just admitted that she had something to confess about.

Rafe: Okay, the van is waiting. It’s now or never.

[Tense music]

Kristen: My confession is that I wasn’t doing you a favor. You see, I took great joy in punching your little dream of happiness.

Xander: And that’s all you did, just make a call? You didn’t manipulate sarah into choosing rex over me?

Kristen: Nope. I was at the right place at the right time. I couldn’t have planned it better myself.

Lucas: Sami, are you there?

Sami: Lucas, lucas, you’re right, I searched him, and he’s got a smartphone.

Lucas: Okay. Okay, great. Go to maps.

Sami: Okay, okay. But it’s not loading.

Lucas: Calm down, relax. Don’t get excited. Just try to be patient, okay?

Sami: Easy for you to say. You weren’t locked up in a tiny room since august

Lucas: Wait, you’ve been held against your will this whole time?

Allie: Oh, my god, she wasn’t ghosting us. We should have looked for her.

Lucas: Stop, stop. It’s not your fault, stop it.

Sami: Okay, it’s stalling. I think it’s the reception.

Lucas: All right, just text whatever you can to allie’s phone, all right? Maybe it’ll show up.

Sami: Okay, okay. Okay, I’m sending it. Please go through. Please go through. Please go through. Please go through. Why give your family just ordinary eggs

Rafe: Hey, sorry for the delay, guys. She’s all yours.

Don’t worry, commissioner. We’ll take it from here.

Gwen: You haven’t said much.

Xander: I just don’t think kristen was telling me the truth back there. She hates me.

Gwen: But why would she go through so much trouble to break you and sarah? What does she get out of it?

Xander: Right, I know. It’s just, rex brady showed up out of the blue.

Gwen: Well, you said that rex and sarah were married, yes? So I don’t know. Maybe he found out about the wedding, and he decided that he didn’t want to lose her to someone else.

Xander: Hmm. And maybe she saw him and realized that she was on the rebound when she fell for me. One way or the other, she chose him, not me. And that’s all there is to it.

Ava: Hey, there. I was wondering if we could meet for dinner.

Rafe: That sounds like a plan, and by the way, I just turned your friend kristen over to the guard at statesville. She’s their problem now. Thank god.

Kristen: Thank you so much. That feels so much better.

So where to now, miss dimera?

Lani: I didn’t know you were coming over today.

Update written by Joseph

Gwen has a nightmare about Xander finding out the truth about what Kristen did to Sarah and breaking up with her. Gwen then wakes up in a panic, so Xander asks her what’s wrong.

Chad joins Kristen in the interrogation room and says he just talked to her lawyer. Kristen complains about EJ being too scared to represent her himself and asks what they said. Chad says they did everything they could to keep her until the trial but the judge wouldn’t go for it. Kristen asks what they do now. Chad says he’s sorry but it looks like she’s heading back to prison.

EJ remains at Susan’s side in the hospital and says he’s sorry for everything. Nicole enters and says she came as soon as she heard about Susan. Nicole asks how she is. EJ says she will be okay. Nicole asks if EJ is okay.

Sami remains locked up and paces, saying she’s about to lose it. Sami starts pounding on the door, screaming to be let out until the door is then opened.

EJ tells Nicole that he is okay. Nicole says it’s wonderful that Susan will make a full recovery but worries about EJ not getting any sleep. EJ says Susan was so scared and didn’t want him to leave because she was scared that the Devil was coming after him. EJ adds that Susan finally fell asleep before Nicole got there. Nicole asks if she had another psychotic breakdown. EJ decides to step out with Nicole.

The guard holding Sami hostage is named Jason. Sami asks where her breakfast is. Jason says she doesn’t get breakfast today. Sami argues that he’s been keeping her here for three months so she has to be kept alive. Jason says she’s been a bad girl, so she doesn’t get what she wants until he gets what he wants. Sami asks what he wants. Jason responds that he wants his phone that she stole from him. Jason asks her where it is. Sami claims to have no idea what he’s talking about. Jason warns that if she doesn’t hand it over, he’ll do a lot worse than deprive her of food. Sami then gives in and hands over the phone, noting that it’s dead anyways. Jason says they’ll bring it back to life and asks who she called last night. Sami admits she called her mother. Jason guesses she doesn’t give a damn since Sami is still here. Sami argues that Marlena was desperate to help her but she’s in a lot of trouble too. Sami asks Jason what he would do if his mother was alone, terrified, and in grave danger. Sami pleads with him to let her get back to the people she loves.

EJ sits with Nicole and explains that he was celebrating Thanksgiving with Anna and Tony when Steve suddenly turned up with Susan. EJ adds that Susan was in the family crypt as Steve came looking for John, but found both of them. EJ talks about how they stabilized Susan in the ambulance, but when he first saw her with Steve and she looked lifeless, he just kept telling her to hang on. EJ notes that Susan was so happy to see him when she opened her eyes and was overcome with relief. Nicole questions Susan thinking that Satan wanted EJ dead. EJ admits the story was quite convoluted and something about Marlena being possessed by the Devil and demanding that Susan kill John or else the Devil would kill EJ. Nicole realizes that Susan thought by stabbing herself, Satan would take her instead. Nicole asks EJ if he thinks it was delusion. EJ admits he did at first and calls it impossible for Marlena to be the Devil but then Steve disagreed. Nicole asks why. EJ says Steve got a text from Kayla and had to step out. EJ still can’t believe what Susan did and the sacrifice she was willing to make. Nicole feels the threat probably wasn’t real. EJ says either way, Susan was still willing to die for him. EJ talks about being ashamed of Susan for years and pretending she didn’t exist, but she was still willing to sacrifice her life for his. EJ cries that he doesn’t deserve it as Nicole comforts him.

Chad wants Kristen to tell him that she won’t escape again. Kristen assures that she won’t but says it’s just not a given that she’s going back to prison. Kristen says she has money and can hire more lawyers to help her with the appeal. Chad says he’ll do anything he can to help but she’s going to have to start the process from prison. Kristen asks if he can get her something to eat then. Chad says to give him 20 minutes and exits the room. Kristen then quickly goes through Chad’s jacket and takes his phone.

Sami tells Jason about how her mother is being held against her will and is chained to the wall. Sami swears to make Jason pay if something happens to her mother. Jason tells her that she can yell all she wants but no one will hear her. Jason says he’s going to check who Sami called. Sami says he doesn’t have to as she’s happy to tell him. Jason questions who she called after her mom. Sami responds that she called her husband.

Nicole jokes that this shows EJ has a heart since he doesn’t normally wear it on his sleeve. EJ says she’s one of the few people who have ever seen that side of him. Nicole is honored that he let her.

Rafe and Ava kiss in bed until Rafe says he has to get to work. Ava says she’ll have to figure out how to spend her days now that she’s no longer scheming with Philip to steal Gabi’s company. Ava adds that she has to get a job but on the up and up this time which Rafe calls a good plan. Ava hopes he knows how grateful she is that he was able to put what she tried to do to Gabi in the past. Rafe reminds her they are putting all mistakes behind them and starting clean. Ava assures that she won’t do anything to mess up her second chance. Rafe says the same as they kiss.

Xander and Gwen lay in bed after having sex. Xander says he feels better not only because of that but also because Gwen always knows what to say and do when he gets off track in his head. Gwen wants to check her phone for messages as she’s hoping to hear from Jack but she has nothing. Xander suggests Jack didn’t have time over Thanksgiving and he will call her when he gets back. Xander knows how bad she wants to repair her relationship with Jack but reminds her that Maggie is going to talk to him to try to get him to come around. Gwen wonders how much of an effort Maggie will really put in since she loves Abigail and knows that Gwen tried to destroy her life. Xander says he explained to Maggie that she’s changed and only wants to make amends with Jack. Xander adds that either way, she still has him and he’s not going anywhere. Xander invites Gwen to join him in the shower as he heads to the restroom. Gwen then gets a call from Chad’s phone and questions why he’s calling her but it turns out to be Kristen.

EJ tells Nicole that it was nice while it lasted having her see him as an indominable force, powerful, and ruthless. Nicole assures that she still sees him as all those things. Nicole tells EJ that just because he’s vulnerable doesn’t mean he’s weak, it means that he’s human. She calls him a very attractive human in her eyes. EJ says he can’t be blamed about being worried about letting his guard down since he did that with Sami and they see where that got him. Nicole asks if EJ got any calls like the other night when he thought it was Sami. EJ says they never called back but if they do and it is Sami, he can handle it. Nicole asks why he should have to when he’s going through so much already. Nicole feels it is strange that EJ hasn’t heard from Sami before now. EJ asks why that’s strange since he told her that he didn’t want her in his life anymore. Nicole goes over how Sami went to see Gabi about staying in the mansion and it was her mission to get EJ to forgive her. Nicole questions Sami disappearing off the face of the earth and wonders why Sami would decide not to get back together.

Jason questions why Sami would call her husband when their marriage blew up in her face. Sami asks what he knows about her marriage. Jason says he read the tabloids and that EJ threw her out after she cheated on him with her ex husband. Sami argues that EJ was just upset for good reason over her lapse in judgment. Sami insists that EJ is her husband and still loves her, so if he knew she was in trouble, he would come running. Jason thought she called him. Sami says the phone went dead as soon as she called, otherwise EJ would be breaking down the door now. Jason seriously doubts that.

Kristen tells Gwen that she hasn’t forgotten about her. Gwen says she can’t talk right now. Kristen says to put Xander on the phone then, so she can tell him that Sarah is alive and well and never wanted to break his heart. Gwen pleads with her not to. Kristen says she just got word that she’s being sent back to prison, possibly as soon as today, so she needs Gwen to act now. Gwen asks what she expects her to do. Kristen orders Gwen to get her out ASAP or else she’ll call Xander and tell him where to find Sarah, then he will dump Gwen so fast that her head will spin. Gwen repeats that she doesn’t know how she’s expected to do this. Kristen argues that this is a piece of cake compared to what Gwen has done before. Gwen complains that she’s never broken someone out of prison before, so she doesn’t know where to begin. Kristen tells her to enjoy being single then and suggests maybe she’ll meet someone at Sarah and Xander’s wedding. Gwen pleads with her not to tell Xander or punish her for something she would do if she could. Kristen says she will tell her how to do this if she promises to do it. Gwen agrees, so Kristen says she will give her some help. Gwen then hangs up as Xander comes back and asks who was on the phone.

Rafe goes to the police station where Chad tells Rafe that he just told Kristen that she’s going back to prison. Rafe assures that Kristen won’t be switching with Susan again because Susan’s in the hospital. Chad mentions hearing the crazy story and asks about Susan. Rafe says Susan will be fine as long as she doesn’t get roped in to helping Kristen again. Chad doubts that anyone in town would help Kristen. Rafe notes that Lani was her best friend but she wouldn’t risk it. Rafe adds that Ava goes way back with Kristen and recalls Ava finding Susan last time Kristen switched places with her. Chad asks if he thinks Ava helped Kristen escape. Rafe explains how Ava said she went to the interrogation room looking for him and found Susan on the floor and claimed she never even saw Kristen. Chad asks if Rafe believes Ava. Rafe confirms that he does.

Kristen calls Ava and informs her that she got arrested. Ava says she heard. Kristen tells Ava that she needs a favor since she helped her last time she was in a bind and helped her escape. Ava says she can’t help her again since she’s in a good place with Rafe and she’s not going to jeopardize that. Kristen threatens to tell Rafe about how she helped her escape and then lied to his face. Ava argues that she can’t but Kristen says she will. Ava pleads with her. Kristen says she doesn’t have time to argue so she’s going to tell her exactly what she needs to do.

Sami tells Jason that no matter what happens between her and EJ, she’s still the mother of his children so he’d pay a small fortune to get her out of here. Jason remarks that he’d pay a small fortune to get her to shut up. Sami asks Jason to tell his employer that EJ will pay. Jason responds that his employer is not interested. Sami questions why they are holding her here and argues that she has to know who it is.

Nicole asks EJ why Sami would do a complete 180 and leave when she said she would stay and fight for their marriage. EJ guesses she just changed her mind. Nicole feels it’s not like Sami to give up, especially on EJ, as she would be in his face until she broke him down. Nicole questions why Sami would just disappear. EJ responds that it’s because of him.

Kristen asks Ava if they are clear on this. Ava says absolutely. Kristen tells Ava to get to work and hangs up. Kristen deletes the call history but Chad comes back and catches her with his phone. Chad questions who she called. Kristen claims that she was calling Brady. Chad calls her unbelievable. Kristen says she was desperate and wanted to speak with Rachel but claims that Brady hung up on her. Chad gives her the food that he went to get and says he has to go. Kristen thanks him for the food and for trying to help as knowing that he still cares gives her hope. Chad tells her to hold onto that because right now, it’s all she’s got.

Gwen claims to Xander that Chad was on the phone. Xander questions why she would want to talk to Chad DiMera. Gwen says she didn’t and that he called her. Xander asks why. Gwen claims that he just wanted to blast her again for lying about her miscarriage and trying to blow up his marriage. Xander argues that he needs to get over it since he still has his family and some people have a lot less. Gwen asks if he’s talking about himself since he talked about Sarah earlier, so maybe it’s still bothering him. Xander assures it’s not and that he needs to forget about her. Xander says he already is as he kisses Gwen.

Sami pleads with Jason to tell her who is behind this. Jason says they’ve had this conversation every day since she got here. Sami complains about a thug dumped her here after chloroforming her at Rafe’s house. Jason assures that he will never share the information about his employer. Sami complains about being hungry and asks if she can have her breakfast. Jason agrees but says he’s taking his phone with him as he then exits the room.

Nicole asks EJ why Sami would leave because of him. EJ says he pushed her away and told her that he never wanted to see her again, which he meant. Nicole says he had every right to be angry after she cheated on him with Lucas. EJ admits perhaps he was too cruel. EJ talks about being vicious towards Sami for over a year, verbally and emotionally abusive. Nicole suggests they shouldn’t talk about this now while EJ is exhausted. EJ says he was up all night and had a lot of time to think. EJ says watching Susan scared and helpless reminded him of what he went through after the warehouse fire. EJ recalls not wanting anyone near him. Nicole says he went through very severe trauma. EJ says Susan did too but she didn’t turn cold and start lashing out at people trying to care for her. EJ points out that Susan wants him as close as possible. Nicole says they are very different people. EJ feels that doesn’t excuse his behavior. Nicole talks about how EJ was severely burned and covered in bandages. EJ talks about thinking he wanted to die every day instead of living as a shell of the man he was. EJ says he begged Sami to put him out of his misery but she refused and kept fighting, long after he had given up. EJ admits he didn’t show her any bit of appreciation and that he was a monster. EJ understands Sami felt lonely and rejected, so she betrayed him with Lucas, but that doesn’t change the fact that she saved his life. Nicole notes that it sounds like he feels more than anger towards Sami. EJ states that he’s still immensely grateful for everything she did for him, but she doesn’t know that because he told her to stay away and she has. Nicole feels that it sounds like EJ regrets it. EJ responds that he doesn’t regret a decision that he made about Sami. Nicole asks if he’s sure because he sounds like he wishes he handled it differently. EJ says as far as his recovery goes, his behavior was atrocious but that doesn’t justify his wife breaking her vows and was unfaithful, then lied to him to his face about it repeatedly. Nicole asks if EJ would’ve forgiven Sami if she told him the truth. EJ says it doesn’t matter because she didn’t and now she’s gone, so he’s moving on. EJ thanks Nicole for coming to check on him. EJ says he’d been feeling terribly guilty about how he treated his mother and everyone he’s cared for, while Nicole did not scold or mock him for his behavior of being a bastard but she listened and gave him hope that things can be better moving forward. EJ reminds Nicole that he’s right where he wants to be and with the person he wants to be with, unless she’s still pining after Rafe after their conference table sex. Nicole insists that she’s not at all as she’s right where she wants to be too as she’s moving on.

Rafe enters the interrogation room. Kristen asks if there’s any news. Rafe informs her that the van to take her back to prison is on it’s way. Kristen guesses there must be a bunch of red tape, forms, and paper work. Rafe says he took care of all that, so as soon as the van gets there, she will be on her way.

Ava goes to see Gwen at the Salem Inn. Gwen asks who she is. Ava responds that according to Kristen, she’s her new partner in crime.

Susan wakes up in her hospital bed to see Xander and asks what he’s doing there. Xander says he heard what happened and brought her flowers. Susan questions him doing that when they don’t know each other. Xander claims he wanted to thank her for what she did to him. Susan asks if they are on hidden camera because she can’t think of a single thing she’s ever done for him. Xander responds that she opened his eyes about his unfaithful fiancée and saved him from the biggest mistake of his life. Susan responds that she’s sorry but she doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

Jason brings Sami her breakfast. Sami apologizes for taking his phone and says it won’t happen again. When Jason goes to leave, Sami then knocks him out with the food tray from behind and runs out the door.

Update written by Joseph

Maggie finds Brady at the Bistro, seated with a drink. Brady hugs her and apologizes for pulling her away from Thanksgiving. Maggie tells him that they had already finished and then asks Brady how many drinks he’s had.

Chloe and Philip finish eating at the Kiriakis Mansion. Chloe says she knows a great way to burn off Thanksgiving calories and kisses him. Chloe suggests they take a nice long walk to the river bank to check on their tree.

At the hospital, Belle asks Steve how Susan is. Steve says she’s doing okay and that Kayla is allowing Tony and Anna are keeping Susan and EJ company for awhile. Steve asks about John. Belle says he’s not returning her calls or messages. Belle knows John is worried about Marlena but she worries about going after her when she’s out of control like this. Steve assures that if anyone can find Marlena and get through to her, it’s John.

Devil Marlena shows up at Ben and Ciara’s door. Ciara says they were just talking about her. Marlena comes in and tells them to shut the door, saying they have to help her by hiding her.

Shawn enters the living room of the Horton House and finds John passed out in the chair, holding the rosary. John asks about Doug and Julie. Shawn responds that Julie is putting Doug to bed but they are lucky they’re alive. John thinks they are all lucky to be alive. Shawn calls Doug and Julie incredibly brave for calling out the Devil. Shawn adds that Julie said after Marlena knocked him out, Julie called on the power of love to protect her and Doug which worked. John laughs at Julie scaring Satan away. John is glad they are all okay except for Shawn getting cracked in the head. Shawn suggests John get to the hospital but John says that’s all on hold until he finds Marlena. Shawn asks John what happened to him, where he’s been, and what Marlena did to him.

Ciara and Ben ask what Marlena is talking about, if she’s okay, and why they need to hide her. Marlena responds that it’s John. Ben says they are here to help with whatever it is. Marlena never thought she’d have to tell anybody this and she’s afraid they may have a hard time believing her. Ben sits her down while Ciara gets her some water. Marlena is not sure where to start. Ben says she can tell them whatever it is. Marlena responds that the reason John is after her is because he’s been abusing her.

Maggie tells Brady that it doesn’t matter how many he’s had to drink as all that matters is that he called her. Brady then reveals that he hasn’t had a drink and he’s just been staring at it for an hour. Maggie is glad he called. Brady is glad she came. Maggie knows how difficult holidays can be and how hard he’s had it recently. Maggie suggests having the drink taken away. Brady regretted the minute he ordered it but couldn’t find the strength to send it back. Maggie says she understands as that’s the pull alcohol has over them as they can find that urge when they least expect it. Maggie can’t imagine how hard it was for Brady to find Kristen about to run off with Rachel and Kristen begging him not to turn on her in. Brady recalls the look on Rachel’s face and Kristen’s desperation which all broke his heart. Maggie says unfortunately for addicts like them, people can have just as much of a hold over them as alcohol, especially when it’s the mother of his child. Maggie guesses that Brady still loves Kristen very deeply. Brady informs Maggie that he heard from Kristen’s lawyer that she wanted to see him and he came really close, but he can’t do it as he has to end it. Maggie questions him ending up with a scotch instead. Brady admits the drink is not just about Kristen, but also about Chloe.

Chloe tells Philip that she’s feeling extra thankful for him and wants to celebrate by visiting their tree. Philip thinks back to ripping the tree out of the ground and tossing it in to the river. Philip tells Chloe that it’s an awesome idea but he’s so stuffed and it’s cold outside. Chloe questions him being afraid of the cold. Philip says he’s curled up on the couch with her in this warm house. Chloe then asks what about tomorrow. Philip questions missing all the sales on Black Friday. Chloe guesses he’ll be working anyways but says she wants to make a trip to see their tree so she can see how it’s doing.

John informs Shawn that he had been in the DiMera Crypt all this time and that Marlena put him there, but notes that it wasn’t Marlena. John says Marlena is fighting as much as she can but she’s no match for a force of evil as powerful as the Devil. Shawn insists on taking him to the hospital where Belle wants to see that he’s alive and well. John would love to tell Belle that everything is going to be okay but feels he can’t do that until he stops Marlena and saves her. John asks if Marlena said anything about her plans. Shawn thinks she just planned to finish them off until Julie drove her away. John suggests giving the rosary back to Julie but Shawn thinks John could use it a lot more right now.

Ciara questions Marlena saying that John has been abusing her. Ben says he’s so sorry and asks when this started. Marlena claims it’s been going on for some time. Ciara brings up John being out of town. Marlena hoped the time away would do him some good and help him deal with his demons but then he came home this morning. Ben asks what happened. Marlena shows them her bruised wrist and claims John did that. Ben calls it unbelievable. Ciara questions thinking John will come after her. Marlena claims that he was in such a rage when she left that she’s afraid to go back home. Ben repeats that he’s so sorry. Ciara points out that this doesn’t sound like John.

Maggie questions Brady saying this is about Chloe. Maggie knew Victor was trying to push them together but thought it was just his wishful thinking. Brady tells her that he and Chloe are not together but he does have real deep feelings for her and he can’t do anything about it because she’s with Philip.

Chloe looks at a picture of their tree on her phone and talks about the day they planted it. Chloe says it’s probably so much bigger now and she’s just sorry that she hasn’t had the time to go visit it lately. Philip comments on her working hard at Basic Black and how it’s going over there. Chloe says it’s been great and business as usual. Philip asks if there are no big developments to report. Chloe asks like what. Philip thinks back to overhearing Chloe tell Brady that he couldn’t tell anybody about the sex that happened on the conference table and Brady saying it would be their secret. Philip remarks that it seems like Chloe has been working long hours and he hasn’t seen her that much, so he thought there might be something big going on. Chloe tells him that there is one development. Philip asks if it’s a new product line. Chloe then says she needs to talk to him about Brady.

Shawn gets a call from Belle, who questions where he is and where Marlena is. Shawn informs her that he’s still at the house but Marlena got away from him. Belle asks what he means and if he’s okay. Shawn assures that he’s fine and so are Doug and Julie. Shawn adds that John is safe and just got here awhile ago. Belle asks if he’s hurt. Shawn says he’s a little worse for wear but he says he’s okay. Shawn then tells Belle that John is right here but when he turns to look, John is gone.

Marlena doesn’t blame Ciara for being skeptical. Ciara doesn’t mean to upset her, but John is madly in love with her and so gentle with her, so she can’t picture him trying to hurt her. Marlena claims that John flies in to bits of rage. Ben thought these episodes had stopped. Marlena says sometimes he’s normal and sometimes he goes in to an insane rage. Marlena claims she never thought John would hurt her, but he did and says she didn’t say anything because she didn’t want to believe it but it keeps getting worse. Marlena cries that she’s scared. Ben promises to do whatever they can to help them. Marlena says she’s a mess and goes to the restroom to clean up. Ben tells Ciara that this is unreal that John has been abusing Marlena for the past year. Ciara wonders if there’s more to this as she can’t imagine John hurting Marlena, Marlena putting up for it for a year, or John coming after her. John then pounds on the door, saying he knows Marlena is in there.

Brady tells Maggie that he blew it because Chloe admitted awhile back that she had feelings for him but he was with Kristen. Brady says he will always love Kristen as the mother of his daughter, but he feels like he’s been lying to himself for a long time about her and thinking she would change. Brady talks about Kristen’s insecurity and jealousy then says he feels like he’s talking about Philip. Brady tells Maggie that Philip freaks out every time he sees him and Chloe together. Maggie asks if Brady doesn’t push his buttons. Brady admits that he has but says he doesn’t do that anymore because he and Chloe are colleagues and dear friends but nothing more. Brady doesn’t think that Philip is ever going to have the capacity to be the man or partner that Chloe needs. Maggie asks if he’s voiced any of this to Chloe. Brady assures that Chloe is fully aware of how he feels about Philip but he’s trying to do the honorable thing here. Maggie questions if he’s just hoping the relationship implodes on it’s own. Brady admits that’s exactly what he’s hoping for. Maggie asks what if that doesn’t happen. Brady says he will accept defeat then and do nothing. Maggie points out that he’s landed in a bar like this. Brady insists that he doesn’t care whether he thinks Philip is right for Chloe or not, he’s not going to interfere. Brady then admits that it does hurt like hell to think that he and Chloe could’ve had a real chance if Philip wasn’t in the picture.

Philip asks why Chloe would need to talk to him about Brady. Chloe knows Philip and Lucas saw her and Brady walk in to the Salem Inn on the day that she moved out. Philip questions how she knows. Chloe informs him that Brady told her. Philip asks what Brady had to say about that. Chloe responds that Brady said Lucas basically confronted him and accused him of sleeping with her behind Philip’s back. Chloe says she wanted to talk to him about it, but wanted to wait until Philip mentioned it, but it’s been weeks and he hasn’t said a word.

When Devil Marlena went to the restroom, the Devil transformed in to John. “John” continues pounding on Ben and Ciara’s door, saying he knows Marlena is in there. Ben goes to the door. “John” yells for him to let him in. Ben tells “John” that he needs to go home and get out of here. “John” refuses to go until he sees Marlena. Ben then chain locks the door but opens it to tell “John” to go home. “John” questions it being his fault and tells him that everything Marlena is saying is a lie. Ben tells “John” to go home. “John” insists that he knows Marlena is in there, spewing filthy lies about him. “John” shouts that it’s over and he’s going to stop this once and for all, swearing to kill her.

Shawn suggests to Belle that John went to look for Marlena. Shawn goes to look and then finds John collapsed on the floor.

Devil John argues that Marlena is not the victim and shouts that she’s going to get everything coming to her. Ciara has Ben close the door. The Devil then transforms back in to Marlena outside the door.

Maggie wishes she could give Brady advice but she doesn’t know what to say. Brady tells her that it can’t be any worse than the advice he got from Marlena, who told him to throw Chloe on the conference table and ravage her. Maggie questions that coming from Marlena and says it doesn’t sound like her at all. Maggie wonders what’s gotten in to Marlena. Brady doesn’t know but says he obviously did not take her advice. Brady declares that once again, he lost the girl before he barely got the chance to get her. Brady starts to degrade Philip but says no more dumping on Philip since he is Maggie’s stepson and he’s sorry. Maggie responds that she loves Philip, but she loves Brady too and hates to see him in so much pain. Maggie wants Philip and Brady to be happy but unfortunately they both can’t have Chloe.

Philip tells Chloe that he didn’t ask about her and Brady going in to the Salem Inn because there was nothing to know. Chloe assures that nothing happened between them that night and that Brady only helped her with her luggage. Philip claims that’s exactly what he assumed. Chloe is glad but says she kind of has another confession to make. Chloe informs Philip that when Brady told her what they saw, she assumed Philip was going to fly in to another jealous rage and when he didn’t mention anything, she took it as a sign that he finally trusted her. Philip claims he’s learned his lesson and knows how important trust is in a relationship because once it’s broken, it’s all over…

Belle gets John in a hospital bed and asks how he is. John says he’s okay. Belle talks about how all this time John was in the Crypt while they just believed Marlena telling them that he was undercover but they should’ve looked harder and questioned her more. John argues that it wasn’t Marlena so there’s no way they could’ve known. John says all that matters now is that they need to find her. Kayla assures there’s no chance of letting him go as he’s staying in the hospital where they can keep an eye on him. Belle agrees and says she’ll keep an eye on him herself. Kayla notes that they are doing a CT scan for head injury and guesses he’s dehydrated and exhausted, so she believes he will be alright after fluids and rest. John jokes that he’s indestructible. Belle is thankful that Steve found him when he did, because there’s no telling what the Devil had in store for him.

Steve joins Shawn at the hospital and comments that Marlena really got him good. Steve questions him not handcuffing Marlena. Shawn explains that he did, but she snapped the cuffs and then threw him across the room without breaking a sweat and he’s never seen anything like it. Shawn says Kayla looked him over and he’s fine, so he just wants to make sure John is okay and then find Marlena because anyone who comes in to contact with her is in serious danger.

Devil Marlena comes out from the bathroom and asks if John is gone. Ben assures that they will keep her safe and not let him anywhere near her. Ciara can’t believe that was John as she barely even recognized him. Marlena claims that’s not the man she married. Ben wants to call the police but Marlena says no because John has friends in the department and could talk his way out of it. Ciara asks about family. Marlena says Eric is out of the country, Sami is gone, and she doesn’t want to put Belle or Brady in a position to turn against their father. Ben feels there has to be something they can do. Marlena declares that there is and they have to leave town right now.

John tells Kayla that Steve saved his life today. Kayla acknowledges that John is Steve’s best friend in the world, so when they realized that Marlena was lying to them about where John was, nothing could stop Steve from finding him, not even the Devil. John says that’s his partner. Kayla feels she owes John an apology because she was so angry with him for playing the tape of Doug’s session with Marlena, but he knew something was wrong and the tape was the key. Kayla feels if they listened sooner, they could’ve stopped Marlena before she went after John, Doug, or Susan. John says either way, Lucifer would’ve found way to stop them but all that matters now is that they know what they are fighting and that they win the fight for Marlena’ sake.

Ben questions Marlena wanting them to leave town with her. Marlena claims it’s just for a little while because she’s afraid John would find her. Marlena knows they have their own family to think about with the baby coming so it’s a big decision. Marlena decides to go freshen up again while they talk about it, so she heads to the restroom. The Devil hopes for Ben to not let him down. Ciara tells Ben that they can’t just leave town. Ben points out that John has lost it. Ciara feels there has to be a better way to help than leaving town. Ben notes that Marlena has never asked anything of him. Ciara questions where they would go and says they both have jobs. Ben says Marlena is scared and needs their help. Ciara finds this all weird and out of nowhere. Ben says this could have been going on for a year. Ciara suggests trying to help John by calling Belle or Brady. Ben feels that it’s his turn to help Marlena after everything she’s done for him. Ben adds that they are about to have a baby because Marlena convinced him that he could be a good father. Devil Marlena then comes back in to the room and asks if they’ve decided.

Chloe thanks Philip for understanding and trusting her as he has no idea what it means. Philip suggests they go upstairs but Chloe says she has to get back to the Salem Inn because she has an early morning meeting in the town square. Philip notes that she can’t beat that commute. Chloe says she’ll see him tomorrow as they kiss goodbye. Chloe then exits the mansion. Philip remarks that all that talk about trust was right before she meets her boyfriend. Philip declares that there’s no chance in Hell that Chloe and Brady are going to make a fool of him.

Brady finishes a call with Belle, who informs him about John being in the hospital. Maggie asks if John is alright. Brady tells her that he will be alright but Marlena is not. Maggie asks what happened. Brady realizes this is why Marlena’s advice was so crazy was because it wasn’t her at all. Maggie asks what he’s talking about. Brady says it’s going to sound really crazy but Marlena has been possessed by the Devil again.

Steve goes in to see John in his hospital room, joking that he’s looking a lot better than last time he saw him. John says he was having a below average of Thanksgiving until Steve showed up. Steve asks if he’s doing okay. John jokes about wanting some of Kayla’s pumpkin pie. Kayla says they are still waiting on John’s test results. John talks about being grateful for Steve’s friendship but with everything going on, he’s extra thankful for Steve and Kayla today. Steve says they found John so they’re going to find Marlena too.

Shawn asks Belle how John is doing. Belle says he’s okay for someone who was locked in a Crypt for weeks but of course all he wants to do is go find Marlena. Shawn says he’s been holding off on officially reporting this. Belle understands he has no choice. Shawn then calls the police department to put an APB out on Marlena, noting that she should be considered extremely dangerous.

Ciara and Ben pack their bags and leave with Marlena.
