THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Hmm. So, everything here is on my special diet, huh? Definitely. You want oatmeal? Wheat toast? Fresh fruit? Would you like some tea? Black coffee? Hmm. What I would like is a bear claw. Well, you’ll be able to have your bear claws very soon, my dear. I know, I know. And I don’t mean to complain. In fact, I am sorry.

I’m very, very grateful that this wonderful treatment exists and the only reason that I’m not looking forward to it has Nothing to do with food or even having no one to talk to for a few days. Oh What’s oh, it’s gonna be hard for me since in case you haven’t noticed I do like to talk I noticed Oh, no.

The reason I’m dreading the treatment is that I hate being away from you, Abraham, or, uh, for even one minute.

Hey, what are you doing here? What is that? The key to the Horton cabin. Sarah gave it to me. We are starting our mini honeymoon today. Today. Like, like now? Today. Yeah. A few cozy days away from it all. Just the two of us. Yeah. There’s just one problem after work, you know that. Oh, right, right. Um, well, I guess our mini honeymoon will just have to wait then.

I’m sorry. That’s okay. It’s your job. I get it. Thank you for understanding. Sure. I

don’t believe this. Stefan DiMera confessed to running illegal drugs out of the Bistro Cafe. Demira is currently behind bars? What the hell?

No, this spectator did not get an exclusive because it is run by Demira. My office will be releasing a statement as soon as possible today. You can follow up with my communications officer. Okay. Good morning. Holly. Yeah? Look, I know you’re upset about being punished. But you chose to do drugs, and then you decided to lie to us about it.

Excuse me, you’ve never lied? Everyone makes mistakes. But this needs to be a lesson learned. Hmm. Okay, well, if everyone makes mistakes, how’s it fair that Tate and I can’t see each other anymore? We’ve already been over this. That was Tate’s parents decision, and under the circumstances, I can’t say that I blame them.

Look, I know that you think you want to be with Tate right now, but I believe in time you’ll realize that this separation is for the best. You want to know what I really think? I think you blew everything out of proportion right from the beginning, arresting Tate when there was no real reason to. So guess what?

This is all your fault, EJ.

So? How was it? Your first day back at work? Uh, it felt good. Getting back to normal. Yeah. But, uh, what about you? Have you decided when you’re going back? I’m not sure. Rafe left it up to me. That’s very generous. Yeah. Okay. That’s good. You mind telling me what we’re doing out here? I’ll show you. It is pretty chilly out.

They say a storm’s coming in soon. Oh, that’s okay. We’re gonna work up a sweat. What are those for? You’re gonna punch me.

Hello? Well, hello there, little lady. I’ll bet you thought you were rid of me, huh? What do you want? Well, I want you to listen up. Okay, no, you listen to me. You almost killed my son and his girlfriend, so unless you have called to tell me where you are so I can come slit your throat and just watch you bleed out, I got nothing to say to you anymore.

Good gracious, such hostility. Take a chill pill, mama. Word on the street is your little boy’s doing just fine. Now, unless you want me to disavow Stefan’s mere culprit confession to the police, I suggest you just sit back and listen to what I have to say. Now, I just finished reading this morning’s news.

Uh, Stephan DiMera arrested, blah, blah, yeah. Here we go. The DiMera heir is currently behind bars awaiting arraignment. His ex business partner at the bistro, Ava Vitali, declined comment. Um, ex partner Ava? I don’t think so. Because I have one little more job I need you to do for me.

Like sand through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.

You want me to run your new drug empire? You used to run bangs for the Philly mob, didn’t you? That was a long time ago. I’m going straight. Trying to put my life back together in that. Starts with getting a legitimate job. Well, I’ll set you up with a legitimate job, all right? That’s not a problem. I got connections at the bistro.

You still there? Yeah. Good. You know, for a second there, I thought maybe you hung up on me. I’m here. Well, you’re a smart lady. Look, the bistro closed. I got forced out because of everything that went down. Well, you better force your way back in. Look, I don’t know or care how you and your robo cop boyfriend got Stefan to take the fall, but we both know that you’re far from innocent on this.

So if you want to keep flying under the radar, you’d best do what I tell you to do.

Punch you? Come on, put the gloves on. Physical activity is great for working off nerves and stress. You know, against the endorphins flowing. Hmm. Okay. Look, Wendy After what we went through, I mean, it’s no surprise that we have PTSD. And so it might be good for us to work some of our feelings out in a physical way that’s perfectly safe.

Okay, but boxing? I’ve never done it before. I mean, either, but I’ve always wanted to give it a try. You know, I was thinking more like jogging. But I guess I could give boxing a try. All right, cool. Let’s do this.

You are one sneaky fella. Oh, me? Uh huh. My second in command was wondering why I even showed up when I am supposed to be on my mini honeymoon today. Okay, okay, I admit I did speak to some of your staff and they agreed to cover you for the next few days. Okay, well that was good of them, but Johnny, it’s not right.

What? Of course it is. Look, Dee. Adore you. And I also conspired with them on your behalf to pay them time and a half while we’re gone. Don’t worry, I’ll cover it. Okay, that was very generous of you and really, really thoughtful, but But? What? You don’t want to go? No, no, I really want to go. Like, so much, but We’ll just go.

Mama, you know, she starts her treatment today. Which is why I scheduled this for right now, because she’s gonna have to be in isolation. You’re not gonna be able to be with her for the next few days, and I figured that you’re gonna want to spend as much time with her as possible once she’s no longer radioactive.

That’s true. And the Horton cabin is fairly close in case you have to come back here for any reason, which you won’t because everything’s gonna be fine with your mom with sweet bits. Well, how do I say no to that? Well, I’ll tell you. You can’t. And I promise you that this is going to be the best time ever, Mrs.

DiMera. Well, I already know that, Mr. Dupree. Because I’m going to be alone in a cabin with the sexiest husband in the world.

Yes, Mr. Shin, I have everything under control. I know the story’s out. Stefan was arrested and is incarcerated. I realize it’s not a good look for the company, but I just want to EJ! No. Mr. Shin, I promise you, you have my word. I’ll handle it. And furthermore Hello? You know what? I don’t believe this. Our brother is in jail on drug charges, and I have to find out about it in The Spectator.

Yes. What the hell?

One of my brothers locks up my other brother and my youngest brother Publishes a story about it and no one thinks to tell me get a grip Krista. Okay, you know what? I’d love to get a grip I’d love to get a grip around all three of your necks Stefan was running the company. Where the hell does that leave DiMera Enterprises?

Incapable hands. Look, you have nothing to worry about, and I have to run, so if you’ll excuse me. Oh, oh, nothing to worry about except the family business going under!

Dad! Oh, sorry son, I’m in a bit of a rush. Oh, hey, I just, uh, wait, I just, uh, I wanted to let you know that Chanel and I are going to be out of town for the next couple of days. We’re headed out to the Horton cabin for a mini honeymoon. That’s great, that’s long overdue. Oh, wait a second, I also wanted to ask you about Uncle Stefan, he’s in jail.

What the heck? You two, do you even care? Yeah, of course I do, he’s my uncle. And he was supplying the drugs that nearly got Holly killed. What? Look, everything is fine and taken care of, okay? So don’t worry. So please go enjoy your honeymoon. You both deserve some time off, okay? Oh my god. Oh my god, Tripp, are you okay?

Oh, I’m so sorry. I was aiming for the mitts. I guess I just went a little overboard. No, no, no. It’s okay. It’s okay. You, uh Mean right hook, though. You sure you’ve never done this before? Well, I studied taekwondo for about eight years. I’m a brown belt. Oh, well. But no, I’ve never punched anyone before. Well, I think you’re ready for the black belt, just saying.

Remind me to never get in a fight with you. Well, taekwondo. Is about kindness, forgiveness, building a peaceful world, not fighting. Good to know. Your turn. You know, uh, more than I think about it, uh, jockeying doesn’t sound that bad of an idea.

Then I’ll race ya.

Oh, I don’t care about flying under the radar. You want to tell someone that I was just as involved as Stefan? Go right ahead. It’s gonna be his word against yours. And I would rather park my ass in jail than ever do anything with you again. Is that so? I’m hanging up now. Do not call me back. What would Sweetie Pie Harris say if he knew how I got out of prison?

Yeah, that caught your attention, didn’t it? Love it like that. That’s a hard thing to give up when all I’m asking is just one itty bitty favor. Uh uh. No, I’m not doing it. I am not laundering your money. I am not your distribution hub. Well, who said anything about that? No, this job is easy peasy. Listen up.

Gil hid a little black book at the bistro. Inside that book. Is all the info on my suppliers and my dealers. There is no digital trail on me. Everything is in that book in pen and ink. Now, I need you to get that book to me. That book needs to be placed in my hands and no one else’s. And I mean no one.

Comprende? Now, I ain’t asking you to kill nobody or kidnap them or Or even betray your little PI friends. At least, not to their faces. But that little book is the only trail back to me. So, if you get it to me, here’s what I’ll do. I’ll pick up and move my operations elsewhere. You’ll never have to hear from me again.

Ava. Speak to me.

This is the last thing I will ever do for you. And then I’m out. Absolutely, Ava. Absolutely.

Finished! You? Not quite. Oh, you are strict. You need your strength for this treatment. I need my strength to sit all alone twiddling my thumb.

Happy now? Very. Now, don’t worry. You’re going to be able to eat all your favorite foods again. I know, I know. Mama. Oh, oh, my sweet baby girl. I brought you some treats. Oh, you’re an angel. But, uh, Oh, um, Chanel, honey, bear claws aren’t on the approved food list. Well, mama, you underestimate me because these are made with non iodized salt.

So, you’re all good. Oh, really? Oh, wait, wait, wait. Uh, uh, uh, are they made with iodate dough conditioners? Definitely not. Oh! Ha ha ha! Good amyloid! Mmm! Okay, uh, well, I have to run, but I will have my phone on me 24 7, so if you need me to come back, you just call me. Okay? Come back? From where? Oh, yeah, I forgot that little detail.

Johnny and I are going to the Horton Family Cabin for, like, a little mini honeymoon. Oh! How exciting! But, but if you want me to stay, I’ll stay. Ah, ah, ah, no, no, no, no. I’ll go. I insist. Oh, and you bundle up because it’s gonna get cold later. Oh, well, I’m sure they’ll find a way to keep warm. Ah, ah, ah. Ah, ah, ah.

Ah, ah, ah. Ooh, ooh. Ah, ah, ah. Ah, ah, ah. Ah, ah. So, some spring break, right? Yeah, it was a total waste. I’m so not ready to go back to school. Yeah, me neither, but we don’t really have a choice. There is one good thing, and it’s our parents can’t keep us separated while we’re there. I know, right? So, how about we make a pact?

What do you mean? Okay, um, let’s agree to find each other between periods. And we’ll hold hands in the halls and talk. And then, and then for lunch we’ll find a really private, secret space to, you know, be together. With no one staring at us or anything. I have the perfect spot, under the oak tree at the far end of the quad.

Yes, that’s perfect. But, in the meantime The

gardeners? Hey, why don’t we sneak up to my room before anyone sees us? And I’ll be sure to lock the door this time. Yeah, yeah, I’m down. Let’s just make sure the coast is clear.

Hey!

Holly! Hi. Uh oh. I’ve heard that tone before. What’s wrong? Nothing. Except that I literally have no life. And I already know what you’re gonna say. That I’m overreacting. Feeling sorry for myself. Oh, fuck. I’m not going to say that, because I have no idea what you’re even talking about. Um, Tate and I are not allowed to see each other anymore.

Ah, damn. That sucks. Yeah, tell me about it. Oh, and just so you know, I’m not in love with Tate. In case, like, anyone tries to tell you I am. Nobody’s told me that. Good, because I’m not. Okay, got it. I, I do really like him though. I mean, he’s a good guy. But it doesn’t matter because my mother and stepdad number three have decided we’re toxic for each other.

And like, they’re not. Sorry Johnny, I know EJ’s your dad and all, but I think him and my mom are a total mismatch. Well, I don’t know about that. But I am sorry to hear about you and Tate, that you can’t hang out with each other anymore. Me too. Bye. It’s my fault, really. I made such a mess out of everything.

Look, Holly, you messed up. Okay, we all do it. And now you’re paying the consequences. And pretty soon, this is going to be nothing but a bad memory for you. Okay? Um, hey, look, I hate to do this, but Chanel is gonna be here any minute. We’re getting away for the weekend, so I’m out. I kind of need to go back.

Yeah, I know. Totally. I’m really happy for you guys. You love each other so much. I hope I can find that one day. You will. You will. But don’t rush it, okay? You’ve got loads of time, okay? And hey, when we get back, if you still want to talk, I’m available. No judgment, okay? Okay, thanks Johnny. Have a good time.

Thanks. Holly? It’s me, girl! Hi! Hi, you busy?

You want to paint nails like we used to? Uh, yeah, let’s do it. Come on, let’s go get our mani pedi bag. Oh. You beat me by like 10 seconds. No, I slowed down so you wouldn’t choke on my dust. Or I caught up because of my lightning speed. Oh, nice try. You want some water? Yeah, please. Oh

my god, did you see this? What? The Spectator article about Stefan O’Meara. He confessed to running drugs out of the bistro. He’s in jail. Does it say anything about my mom? Just that his ex business partner declined comment. Hey. Mom. What’s wrong? You okay? Yeah, I’m fine, but you’ve got some explaining to do.

What’s, what’s going on? Mom, why would Seven confess? Beats me. I thought you were both forced into this shady stuff. I thought you were both threatened by Clyde. Yeah, we were. I guess He felt so guilty about what happened to the two of you. That doesn’t sound like Stefan. Who cares, right? I mean, this is great.

I mean, you can finally put all this stuff behind you. Yeah, absolutely. Yep, I’m going to, uh, make a fresh start, starting with quitting the bistro. You’re quitting? Yeah. I already did. Too much bad luck and too many bad memories. Again, a fresh start. And that includes finding a new place to live.

How’s this? Impressive. Very unique. My mom says I’m one of a kind. But you definitely are. So how’s school going? What’s your favorite subject? Lunch. Mine too. You were always good at math though. I remember when I was your tutor. It’s okay. I like reading better. Reading’s fun.

Okay, we’re taking off. Where are you going? On a much needed honeymoon. Aw, well, you guys have a great time. We will

all, I’m tapping away.

Mm. I am going to miss you. Oh. Oh. Not as much as I’m going to miss you, and I’m going through this procedure knowing that you are gonna be at home waiting for me, . And that you remember our history again? Oh. It comforts me so, knowing that you love me now, then, and always. And with all my heart.

You’re moving out. Newlyweds need their space. We’re not Exactly newlyweds. Well, I heard you exchanged vows. Wendy Shin, with my whole heart, I take you as my wife. I promise to respect you as a person, as a partner, and an equal. You know, before you came along, I wasn’t sure I believed in finding the one. And, uh, relationships brought me a lot of heartache, a lot of pain.

And now I know that things just didn’t work out in the past because fate was just sending me to you. Tripp Johnson,

with all my heart I take you as my husband. And I promise to be by your side, to learn with you, to encourage you. To respect you and accept you. We are equals. We’re friends. We’re lovers.

And now we’re husband and wife.

And I vow to love you and to cherish you with all my being. Till I draw my very last breath on this earth.

You gonna make it official? Maybe, but uh, for now our vows are on the back burner. Yeah, we’re just happy being together. Okay, well still, you two need your space. You don’t have to do this alone. Please, I nearly got you guys killed. Okay. Look, you guys have been too generous. You’ve let me stay way too long.

I just think moving out on my own is going to be the best for everyone.

Well, well, not the Ritz, but it’s pleasant enough. Well, it’s only for a couple of days. And then I’ll be, I’ll be back at home. But still having to stay a few feet away from everybody. Strange how a little tiny pill can radiate for days. Oh. Hello, Mayor. Former Mayor. Good to see you, Dr. Johnson. Good to see you guys as well.

You know, we’re so relieved that you and Wendy were rescued. Thank you. What a horrifying ordeal. It was, it was, but, you know, we’re, we’re doing okay now and we’re feeling very lucky. Oh, as am I. Yeah, I heard you had, uh, quite the ordeal yourself while I was away, but with a really happy ending. Well, you know, we are all, we’re all very blessed.

Yeah, we sure are. Well, I think, uh, we should get you started. Okay, and, uh, but one thing, though. There is something I have to ask all my female patients. Uh, is there any chance you might be pregnant? Oh, ha! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Oh. Um. Are you gonna card me for alcohol, too? Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. I’ll take that as a no.

Boy, I’m big. I’m being this big. Okay, then we should be good to go. Alright, we’re gonna take you to a special room to take the radioactive pill, and then you’ll be brought back here to stay until the doctors give you the green light to leave, okay? Okay, um, before we, uh, go to the special room, can my husband and I just have a minute?

Sure. I’ll send the nurse to come get you in about ten minutes. Are

you going to do this every time we show up at a new place? Every single time. Wow. Wow. This place is really charming, isn’t it? It’s cozy. Private. Which means that we can be as loud as we want. Unlike Che DiMera. Well, that is a definite selling point. I wonder when was the last time anyone was here? Oh, well, judging by the firewood, quite a while.

So, I’m going to go outside and bring us some back in. Oh my god. Are you gonna chop down firewood to keep me warm? I am so turned on right now. Well, in that case, I won’t mention that Sarah told me there’s a wood pile outside. Yeah, definitely don’t mention that. Okay. Okay. All right, I’m gonna go chop some manly wood.

Woman, don’t worry, I’ll be back in two shakes of a lamp still.

Hey, Missy. What’s with the face? Do you like boys? Some of them. I don’t. I’m never getting married. Oh, yeah? Well, you don’t have to. What do you want to be when you grow up? A vet. No. A pilot. Wait! A professional scuba diver. To study sea animals. That sounds like fun. So you like animals, huh? Me too.

Rachel! Go upstairs. Why? Because I said so. Don’t you want me to paint your nails? Rachel! Now!

What the hell are you doing? We were just hanging out, that’s all. Well, not anymore. Do you understand? You stay away from my daughter.

Did you hear me? You stay away from Rachel. We were just doing manicures. That’s all. Like we used to. Like you used to. Well you used to not do drugs back then. I’m not doing drugs anymore. Oh Holly, is that just another lie? Like you lied about doing drugs before and let Tate take the fall? That boy was like a son to me.

Not to mention that he is Rachel’s half brother. How do you think she is gonna feel when she finds out what you did to him? You know what? Rachel and I No! No, no, no. There is no Rachel in you anymore. And unfortunately, we live in the same house. But mark my words, if I find you seeing her again, you will regret it.

Hey! That’s enough! You will not talk to her like that anymore! You know what? Rachel and Holly, they were getting down Oh, they were doing what? Doing their nails, listening to Cannibal Corpse? Are you serious? Okay, you know what? Rachel is my daughter, and I will decide who she spends time with. Oh, that is rich coming from you, considering your villainous history with Brady and Teresa, Malena, Eric, just to name a few.

Would you like me to list your villainous history? You know what? Get off your high horse, EJ. Okay. Oh,

that woman makes my blood boil. I, I’m sorry I lost my temper. I’m not. Thanks for having my back. You’re welcome. Um, if my sister gives you any more trouble, just let me know, alright? Okay. So, I

was, uh, thinking, you need help looking for a new place. Oh, I can manage. Eva, you really don’t have to go. You’ve been really good to me, Wendy. I appreciate it.

Okay, the fire. So we should start to warm up in here soon. Might take a little while, though. Well, you know, I have an idea of how we could speed that up. Oh, you do?

I will love you forever, my husband. I will love you forever, my beautiful wife. And dream a life Dream a life

Days of Our Lives Transcript

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Alright, partner, you got anything? Bad news. I did several deep dive searches and nothing’s come up yet. Wherever Weston is, he’s definitely off the grid. God, I still can’t believe that son of a bitch got away. I damn well should have known that Ava would double crosses. Yeah, you know, I’m not gonna make excuses for her, but obviously she wasn’t thinking straight.

Worried about her son’s life and all. Yeah, well, her going rogue let Clyde and Goldman get away, which could have cost Tripp and Wendy their lives anyway. Yeah, yeah, it was a big league screw up, but you know I’ve been thinking. Yeah, what have you been thinking? How do we know that Ava doesn’t know more than she’s letting on?

Alright, you let me sleep in. Ah, well, you know, when the body speaks, you must listen. When you’re tired, sleep. When you’re hungry, Mmm.

Mmm. I was gonna say eat, but that works too. Mmm.

How you feeling? Slightly flushed. Elevated. Heartbeat. No, I meant What? I meant, I meant today. Oh. Oh, okay. So you mean, um Since I quit my job at the bistro.

You know I feel free.

The first time and I, wow. I don’t even, I don’t even remember. I feel like my life belongs to me again. It’s a great way to start a day. Yeah. You know, I can think of an even better way to start it. A penny for your thoughts. But

I always thought the price was a measly sum. Given inflation and Are you okay, Maggie? What is it? Oh, it’s just something I’ve been grappling with before. You know, I’m trying to reconcile in my mind the many sides of Victor. We, we all have our pasts, Maggie. Some more troubled than others, but what is important is that we are here in the present.

You are truly a remarkable man. I’m inspired by the woman that stands before me.

Now that is the very picture of being in the zone. What can I do for you, Alex? Nothing, I just wanted to tell you that your performance in the status update meeting was excellent. Very impressive. And I want to tell you that it’s very good to have you back here in the flesh. Not just on the screen. Oh, yeah screens just don’t cut it, huh?

I’d have to say it really is great to be back in the office. Seeing ad inventory go down while sales go up. Oh my god, it’s true. What? Uh, the word on the floor was that, uh, T Boss, uh, is back in the office, and here you are. Oh, yeah, you’re gonna have to find me a better nickname than that. No, no, it’s flattering.

If the marketing department doesn’t like you, they don’t give you a nickname. Okay, well, it doesn’t improve the name, but it does blunt the cringe, so Hey, um, I was gonna call you, but now that you’re here, I was wondering if I could talk to you for a minute. It’s about Tate and Dolly. What? What did you do to our son now?

Like sand through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.

Mmm, now I’m gonna say this, and I can’t even believe I’m gonna say this. Vegan bacon? Vegan bacon, you made me a believer. Okay, well, I will just tell you that in my humble opinion, Tempeh is the undisputed king of the soybean genre. Well, it does, uh, it does taste good. Oh, you should check that. It might be about the audit.

Yes, it is. And? They wrapped it up. Hold on. Everything checks out at the bistro. The books are clean. And there’s nothing linking you to any illegal activity at all. Oh, thank God. Oh my gosh. Well, you know, Stephan taking responsibility for what happened. I mean, that was huge, obviously. Yeah, I mean, he had no choice.

It was either that or he was going to take the fall for attempted murder of a cop. Yeah, but I mean, the fact that he actually took responsibility, I mean, he took the fall. He did. Yeah. And it’s over. But from that look you just gave me, I’m not sure you really believe that. Look, Harris, I want to. I do, but too many people know that I was involved.

They know that it wasn’t just Stefan acting alone. Yeah, Clyde, and Steve, and John, I mean, even Tripp and Wendy suspected it. Yeah, but nobody’s gonna say anything. I mean, if Stefan doesn’t, you think, you think Clyde cares who takes the fall? And anything you did, you were forced to do. And nobody’s gonna say anything that contradicts Stefan’s statement because they all want to protect you.

Tripp, Wendy, Steve, and John.

Clyde has no power over you now. You’re free. You’re free to live your life. And you’re free to plan your future.

So what do you think, partner? Does Ava know something she’s not telling us? It’s hard to say. I do know she wants Weston to pay for what he did to Tripp. Yep, but this is Ava. Exactly. As soon as you think you can trust her, this, this time, and she won’t do something reckless or destructive, you’re quickly reminded that you’re nothing but a gullible fool.

Yeah, that’s a fact. All right, let’s talk to her again. Maybe she will remember something new that will help us put that Animal back in his cage because if Wesson hurts anybody else while he’s out there on the run, that’s on us Yeah, and I know that neither one of us can live with that What can’t you live with The tate showed up at holly’s yeah after we told him over and over again not to he just defied us He lied!

Were EJ and Nicole there? They were. They were. And after we all got over the shock of seeing him there, I told them, I said, you got to keep your daughter away from our son. Period. Well, it’s obvious that they see what we see. That these two kids are totally toxic for each other. But what just boggles my mind is, why does Tate still want to spend time with this girl after everything that she’s put into it?

Because this, this, this teen infatuation thing, it’s powerful. As, you know, as we know. But as long as the parents are aligned, and all of us agree that they should be a part, I think this thing will settle down. It’s all good. Brady, thank you so much. Oh, it’s okay. so much for handling this the way that you have.

Honestly, just so maturely, and you’re just so sensible. If I had been there, I would have completely lost it. Lisa, I almost lost it. Trust me. But, hey, we have to do what’s best for our, uh, our boy, right? Yeah. I’ve got to do what’s best for our son. I am still processing.

Your relationship with Victor. I mean, how did the two of you develop a friendship over the years? Considering our history as mortal enemies, I suppose it does seem rather implausible, but even in our darkest of moments, we both understood that there was a feeling of being a kindred spirit with one another.

And as I have told you, Victor became a very important part of my life. Yeah. As in yours, obviously. Obviously.

I didn’t think that I would ever fall in love again. When I lost Mickey. But I did. Victor was my second chapter.

I couldn’t have been more surprised. And he couldn’t have been more surprising. He had a heart as big as the cosmos. He was. And deep devotion for his family.

And that’s the Victor. That I, uh, knew and loved. Well, that is the Victor that you should remember. That we both should remember.

Sweetness. It’s a surprise. I thought you were going to work. Uh, well, I thought I’d pick up a little takeout on my way. So I parked in the back, came through the kitchen, and What can’t you live with? I can’t live with, uh, the thought that Clyde Weston got away. Or the fact that he’s still out there. Barney, we better get a move on here.

We don’t want to be late to that client meeting. Right. Hey, baby, can we talk later? Of course. Okay. I love you. Yeah. Love you. Bye.

You’re very kind, Constantine. You bring out the best in me, Maggie. As you did with Victor. You were his rock, clearly. His guiding star, if you will. We needed each other. We adored each other. And I’m still struggling with what I know about Victor’s past. Constantine. Talking to you and seeing how you’ve chosen to move forward with your life and, and you found peace.

Well, it’s given me hope. Hope is what holds us together. Hope is the light that shines on what may come. This place is turning into a manhouse! I beg your pardon. Am I interrupting?

Uh, look, I will be the first to admit that I was a fool when I was a teenager. But, uh, Holly and Tate, I did not bat in their league. Uh, me neither. But, um, however we handle this, we have to be united. Agreed? Yeah. We can only pray that EJ and Nicole are on the same page. Yeah. Oh, Roy, let me see that. What? I have to go.

I have a meeting in, like, ten minutes. Oh, hey, Teresa. By the way, on my way home, I was thinking about grabbing some chicken, making my world renowned chicken piccata for dinner. Oh, yeah, yum. I love your chicken piccata. Mm, good. Uh, what? Did I miss something? Oh, you didn’t tell him? Theresa moved back in with me.

Alright, speaking of what’s next for you, what do you want to be when you grow up, Ava? Oh, well, you know, when I was a kid, I had some crazy career aspirations. Fashion designer was at the top of the list. Okay. You know, when I was a kid, I used to just cut out all these images from magazines and put them on a board, kind of like a vision board.

I can see you doing that. But, you know, it was pretty obvious that wasn’t in the cards with my family, so. It’s all good. Because, you know, if I had gone to some elite fashion institute, I probably wouldn’t have found my love of cooking. And you know that’s my passion. I do, so maybe culinary school is the next move.

Mmm. Yes, it could be my calling, huh? Yeah. But whatever you decide, I just want you to know I’m, I’m gonna be there for you. I’m cheering you on. And eating the homework. And devouring the homework. Yeah. I believe in you.

That means more to me than you know.

That’s probably my groceries.

We need to talk about Weston. Maggie I’m not complaining. I’m

just a little tired. I love Thomas. I love Charlotte. They’re wonderful children. When does spring break end? Please, Julie, relax right here. It is time for my morning walkabout anyway. Maggie, I would like to continue our conversation if you will indulge me. Afternoon tea in the garden, perhaps? That would be lovely.

What did I walk in on?

Huh. I’m just surprised, that’s all. You said you were going to be staying at the Salem Inn. I was, and then I, I ran into Alex. Yeah, and I pointed out that she never really moved out of my place. I mean, half of her belongings are still there. Yeah, so, yay, we’re roomies again. Uh, okay, I really, I really, I gotta go now.

Um, so, see you at home? Yeah, you got it, roomie. Rumi, really? Oh,

didn’t realize you had company. We can come back another time. No, no, this is about Clyde. I’d like to hear it too. Why? Well, we were going over everything we knew about him. We got to thinking that maybe you have Remember, it’s something new that could trigger lead force. Hmm. Yeah, I wish I did. You know, it’s not like I was Clyde’s confidant.

I, um, I want him caught and put away just as much as anyone else. Yeah, and you guys know, law enforcement’s putting a lot of resources into finding him, and you guys are really great at your job, so the more eyes looking for Clyde, the better. Definitely. Yeah, and obviously this, I don’t even have to say this, if you guys find anything, you just let us know, because I wouldn’t want you taking things into your own hands if, uh, if you know what I mean.

Wouldn’t dream of it.

Well, we’ve taken up enough of everyone’s time. But, uh, no stone unturned, right? Right. Well, look, I’m gonna go, uh, pull myself together, get ready to start my day.

Let’s, uh, let’s keep each other in the loop. Hundred percent. Hey, Why don’t you go on ahead? I want to pick Harris brain about a couple things. Alright then. I’ll see you back at the office. Yeah.

Well, so now that we’re keeping each other in the loop, Any chance I can get a look at Goldman’s personnel file? We, we scoured everything we have on her. Ah, fresh eyes can’t hurt. John, you know, come on, it’s against policy. You already know that. Well, what I know is it might help put Weston behind bars.

Come on, Harris. You and I have both worked outside the proverbial lines from time to time.

Goldman’s personnel file, is that all you need? Yeah, that and I’ve got a question for you, and it’s personal. I mean, if it’s, you know, if it’s about No, no, no, no, it’s got nothing to do with that. This is about you and me. Something that we both have in common here. Let’s, um, let’s call it a shared experience, and I’m talking about what Megan did to you.

Yeah, I just, uh, you know, I try not to think about that. Yeah, and how’s that working out for you? In the beginning, that wasn’t good. Until I went to Bayview, and that helped a lot, mostly thanks to your wife. Yeah, well, she’s the best at what she does, but I wonder if, if it’s enough sometimes. What do you mean?

Well, what happened to you, what, what? What happened to me?

Aren’t you afraid you’re nothing but a ticking time bomb? And somehow, someway, at any time, it can happen all over again. How

terrible for him to lose his daughter that way, and what, what agony for John to think he was in any way responsible. Well, it’s been traumatic for him, obviously. And for me, too, frankly. Knowing that Victor played a part in it. I’m sorry, darling. You know, I’ve had to dig deep into my feelings about who Victor really was.

Well, Victor was, uh, complicated. A paradox. But then again, so is Doug. I mean, Doug certainly has a past. And look at him now. A model citizen, honest as the day is long, full of empathy for everyone and The most loving man I ever met. He is that. And Victor Victor’s great virtue was falling in love with you.

Aww. Because you brought out the best in him. Well, I don’t know about that. But I do know That you have a gift for saying just the right thing and lifting everyone’s spirits. Well, I try. Let’s have a toast. Okay. What are we toasting to? Oh, to us. Okay. Because. Yes. We know how to pick them. Okay.

So just like that, you and Teresa go from being almost engaged to roommates again. Why not? It was the chance for Teresa to find a place on her own. And there’s no hidden agenda here. If that’s what you’re wondering, Brady, okay. I just want what’s best for her personally and professionally. And I think she has the ability to make some serious waves here within the company.

You sound like granddad right there. Oh yeah. Yeah. You know, when it came to business, he always strived for excellence and he always wanted to set his people up for success. And I’m glad that you are pushing that legacy forward, Alex. I like it.

You know, when I found out Victor was my father, it just put this whole other level of pressure on me when it comes to the family business, so Just want to make him proud. I think if you stick to who you are and know that what you’re doing is right, yeah, I think Victor would be very proud. Appreciate that, man.

Speaking of father and sons, I’m happy to hear that Tate was exonerated. It’s gotta be a huge relief for you and Theresa now that he’s home, right? Yeah. Despite some challenges that may be coming with it. I assume you overheard most of what we were saying and Yeah. You get the gist of the challenge, right?

I do. I mean, aside from just wanting my son to be, you know Stable and healthy and generous and kind. I want them to know what a healthy relationship is. There’s nothing more important. Agreed. Which is why I want the same thing for Teresa. The mother of my son. Which is why I’m going to say this to you again.

Told you in Greece when you two were getting to know each other. Alex, don’t screw with her.

Oh. Damn it, Constantine, you are like a bad penny. I have been trying to reach you. You never respond. Yeah, well, I’ve been busy and this is going to surprise you. But the world doesn’t revolve around you. I’m in a rush. Actually, I would like an update on your relationship with Alex Kiriakis, if you don’t mind.

Given the fact that you made a rather rash and idiotic breakup. Okay. You’ll be pleased to hear that I have moved back into Alex’s apartment. I am pleased to hear that. Yeah, but don’t get too excited because I’m keeping it strictly platonic. Just roommates in separate rooms. For now. I’m not moving fast enough for you, huh?

Actually, Theresa, what I’m about to say might surprise you.

Ben.

Ah, what did you do?

Can’t I just bring my wife some flowers? Uh uh. No, ma’am. I don’t think so. Unless you’ve done something that you know I’m not going to be happy about. And since I already know something’s going on with you, it was so obvious at the pub. Talk to me.

I hate keeping secrets from you, baby. Well, then don’t. But I don’t want to put you in a position of having to lie for me. Come on. After all these years, you know that I have your back, and I will do anything for you. So tell me what’s going on. I think you might want to sit down. It’s a long story.

I’d be lying if I said that didn’t cross my mind. That it could happen all over again, as you just put it. But, working with the doctors, I Working on myself, that saved me. I still have to live with what I did, that’s, that’s never gonna change. And John, in the beginning, I, I, it was tough, man. Like, I was so, so overwhelmed from the guilt.

How’d you deal with it? I just kept reminding myself, like I do now every day, that those actions were not committed freely. That my will was not my own. Therefore, I was not responsible for those actions. We’re still struggling. I can, I can see it. And look, it took me a long time to come to terms with my past.

And I hope I’m not making it sound like it was easy. No, no, you’re not at all. Okay, John, you, what happened to you? You have to tell yourself over and over every single day that it was not your fault. It was not your fault. You got to put the blame where the blame belongs on the people who try to control you.

Because you and I were victims. But to continue not to be victimized by them,

you have to forgive yourself.

Look at this straight. You, John, and Ava created this whole hazmat incident as a cover for, what’s the word you use? Um, an extraction, an extraction of Clyde Weston from Statesville. So many words, yeah, that’s about right. So you’re telling me that you broke a dangerous criminal off? A, uh, convicted murderer.

In fact, the man who murdered our niece, Abigail, out of prison. What the hell? I was desperate, Kayla. Tripp and Wendy were missing. I was afraid I would never see my son again. So you essentially negotiated with a terrorist. What choice did I have? I knew that Weston would kill Tripp and Wendy without batting an eye if he didn’t get what he wanted.

I had to do something. Oh, so breaking him out of prison was your only course of action. And oh, how shocking that Ava double crossed you. John and I should have anticipated that. Yeah, maybe you should have. I mean, how on earth did you I can’t believe that you would trust her. Listen, everything was moving so fast.

Time was not on our side, and I thought I was going to lose my son. I knew it was dangerous. I knew it going in. But you still went in. My God, Steve. How could you do something so stupid? You

know, Brady, you’ve given me a lot of insight to Teresa, and a lot of, um You know, advice. The past few months. From making sure she feels accepted at work, to being aware that she’s fragile and needy, and that a recovered addict is always on the verge of a relapse. I never said that. Well, it was a subtext of everything you said.

And now you’re telling me not to screw with her. Alex, I don’t want things to end badly for her. I just want her to be okay. Not just for her sake, but for my son’s sake. Right, you know? Right, absolutely. And I get your point on that concern. Right. It just seems like it goes further than that. You know, with this little intervention, if you will, as well as all your previous ones, it suggests to me that you are far more interested in Teresa than just being the mother of your child.

Not so. Are you sure? I’m very, very sure about that. Look, I, I want her to be happy, I want her to be stable. Her life is complicated enough without having to deal with Kristen. Now, why would she have to deal with Kristen? Alex, She’s gonna be around, right? I mean, since you and Kristen are, uh, dating? Right, right.

And that would be a plus for you, wouldn’t it? Because if Kristen is around, as you put it, that could just drive Teresa right back into your arms, wouldn’t it? We’re doing this again? I mean Alright, let’s, let’s do it again. Listen, I, I am not interested in Teresa that way. As I said, I want her happy, I want her stable.

That is the extent of my concern for her. That’s it. Done. Period. End of story. Truth be told, you’re not very convincing. I think you’re lying to yourself. And then I think I should probably just go. Okay, well, just know that Teresa’s back under my roof, Brady, whether you like it or not. And whatever happens, or does not happen, between Teresa and I is between her and I.

Notice served. Loud and clear. Cheers.

Allow me to provide a little insight into the mind of a man. How many times can I say no thanks? Nothing attracts men like Alex more than forbidden food. I have observed this type over the years. The forbidden fruit type, yeah, got it. A rare specimen among the male species. You know, I have to say, I really, really treasure your expertise, Constantine.

It truly, it is just revolutionary. Mock me if you like, but we both know that men like Alex, we want what they cannot have. So you must provide that, create that illusion for him. So he will run right into your arms. And your pet. Mm hmm. Yeah, I already knew that. And you’ll be pleased to know that my plan is to create a slow burn until Alex’s Oh, forgive the purple prose here.

Consumed by the flames of passion.

You think I’m proud of what I did? I wish I hadn’t agreed to it. But I’m telling you, baby, it was just this This awful, sudden convergence of events. Can you at least try to understand that? No, I can’t. I can’t understand why you ever trusted Ava. I keep telling you why because I was desperate. I thought my son was gonna die.

And yeah, things would have been different if Ava had come to me in the first place, as soon as Weston got his hooks into her. But she didn’t, did she? Because she is incapable of thinking about anybody but herself, or thinking about the possible consequences of her actions before it’s too late. I know that.

You don’t have to remind me of that. Well, obviously I do. Because you were deceived by her once again, and in the worst possible way. And every time we are sucked into Ava Vitale’s little dark vortex, we are the ones that suffer. And you and I both know that. No, no, actually, you know it better than I. You know it better than I do, or at least you should.

And yet And yet you let it happen again. And there is no damn excuse for that. None.

Hey, Dad. Hey, there he is. How you doing? Good, man. Where you coming from? Uh, work. Work. But I’m glad I ran into you, because I really actually want to talk to you. Everything okay? Yeah, with me, um, nothing to report, but, uh, I know that something’s been weighing on you, and I, look, man, I have not been that attentive.

I haven’t had the bandwidth to even like You’ve been totally fine here, so forget about me anyway. Let’s talk about something good for a change, like uh, Tate coming back home, huh? Yeah, no, it’s a relief. A big relief for him, huh? But um, we were thinking about going and checking out the Cubbies this weekend.

Their lineup is unreal, isn’t it? I know it is, I know it is. And I was thinking, why don’t you come? Come on, three generations in the stands. Hell yeah! Yeah? I love that. Alright, I’m so glad. I’m so glad you said yes. Legally it is. But, but, I want to know how you’re doing, seriously. Actually, I’m feeling a lot better today.

Yeah, I can see that. I see it in your eyes, it’s almost like you, I don’t know, you found some peace or something. Oh, kid, that’s what I’ve been praying for. I’m starting to think my prayers are finally being answered.

Have I told you lately how much you lift my spirits? Tell me more. I’d love to hear it. Well, it’s not just your words of wisdom and compassion, but it’s the way you keep that wonderful optimistic perspective, even, even in the darkest of times. Well, Maggie, what’s the alternative? Just to sink into despair.

Self pity is so unattractive.

Then I look at you and my whole faith in the human race rises up. You’re all heart, Maggie.

Speaking of heart, uh, how is your little granddaughter Holly doing? Um, she’s fine. Physically. Thank God! She confessed that the drugs she overdosed on were hers and not Tate’s. Oh, I’m so sorry. Yeah. On one hand, I’m relieved. I’m relieved that Tate’s home and free of the charges and Teresa and Brady have that weight lifted off their shoulders.

And on the other hand, I’m, I’m so sad to know that my granddaughter is using. Of course. Of course. You don’t have to shoulder this burden alone. You know Doug and I are here for you. Everyone is here for you. You’re not alone. Come to think of it, you’re not all that alone these days, are you? Because of Constantine, you mean?

Well You seem to be growing closer.

We are, actually. Um, He’s become a very good friend.

Hey. Oh, hey.

Getting some laundry done? Huh. Gave it away.

Did you, um, get the chicken? What? You know, the chicken you were going to make us your amazing chicken piccata. Right, yes, yes, I have the chickens right here. I’m going to bring it in the kitchen, and I’m going to take a shower, and then I’m going to start cooking.

Sounds good. Okay.

Mission close to accomplished. Is the coast clear? Commence. All clear. Good. We can do this. Okay.

What’s wrong? Nothing’s wrong. I’m just going to go to my place and grab some clothes. We don’t need clothes for what I’ve got planned. Oh, well I do need some for work. Okay, and assuming I’m going to stay the night. Oh, okay, right, right. Okay, I’ll be right back. Okay, well you know where I’ll be.

Oh,

hello. Well, hello there, little bitty. I bet you thought you were rid of me, huh?

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Mhm.

Good morning, Dad. Good morning. No, it’s a great morning. It’s a great morning because you’re finally home. Listen, coffee’s there, and I whipped up an amazing breakfast, which I will bring out. Okay? All your favorites. All right. Thank you, Dad. You’re welcome. Yeah, you’re welcome. I’m starving. How’d you sleep?

Um, great. Better than I have in months. I can imagine. You’re finally in your own room again. Yeah. You’re on bed. This is amazing. I just, I can’t believe that it’s April. I mean, three months wasted. I feel like I should still be telling people Happy New Year. Well, son, it is your new year. You know, because you’re finally a free guy again.

Hey, did you have fun over at, uh, what’s his name? Buddy? Buddy’s house? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, I just hung out with a couple friends and they actually caught me up on all the cool viral videos that I missed while I was locked up. It’s good. It’s good. It’s good that you’re reconnecting with your friends again.

Yeah, make it up for lost time. Yeah, reconnecting was really great.

Well, your physical therapist was obviously impressed. And you’ve reached almost, what, 100 percent of your goals? Does that mean maybe I can stop going soon? You heard what she said, honey. You have a few more sessions, but you’re doing great. Listen, I’m, I’m really proud of your hard work. Are you proud enough to give me my phone back and let me leave the house by myself?

No. Not yet. Awesome. Well, at least I can be alone in my room, Mom. Honey. Holly!

Oh, I understand, Mr. Shinn. I know all too well the pain of losing a child. So I can’t imagine how terribly difficult this must be for you and your wife, losing your son, Lee. Yes, my brother Stefan has been put in jail, unfortunately, because he’s been in cahoots with Clyde Weston and his, um, drug ring. I know this must be dealt with, and rest assured, it will be.

Okay, so for my new Lady W Daily Horoscope page, you ready? Starting with Pisces, because I’m a Pisces. Hey, I’m a Pisces too. Chadwick! Well, perhaps you’ll want to take this to heart. Uh, probably not. Okay, here goes. Pickles will be a great source of joy for you this week. Tantric is not a cuss word you want to be using around the office.

Although it isn’t a cuss word at all, really. What it is is exhausting.

Okay, if you prefer, I can leave the tantric stuff out. You’re welcome. Chad, Leo. Good morning, Ev. Bobby, fellow Spectator employee. It’s Evan. What are you doing here? Well, uh, considering what’s been going on recently, I’ve been working from home, as you know. Um, but I thought I’d share this news with you in person since it directly affects you.

Me? Yeah. I was talking to my sources at Salem PD and they told me Stefan is in jail. What do you mean he’s in jail? I, I, I haven’t heard anything about that. There’s nothing out there yet about that. Do you mind telling us why? Chadwick’s brother is in jail? Not that it’s my business to ask, but he seems a bit too rattled by the news to do anything other than knit his brow and turn quite pale.

Chadwick, are you alright? No, I’m fine. It’s, I’m just, I’m, uh, Yeah, I’m in a bit of shock. I guess I shouldn’t be. Um, well, what do you, what do you know, Everett? Why is Stefan in jail? He confessed. To running drugs for Clyde Weston. Well, well,

I have to be on my way. Uh, Clyde meaning? Oh, and several more after that, actually. Wow, you’re working hard. No choice, really. Well, you know, now that we have a kid and all, just expenses are piling up. Yeah, I know. And my photography business isn’t quite raking in the money yet, so But it will. I’m sure in no time it’s gonna take right off.

Hey, you two. Hey, Stephanie. Hey. Oh, you brought the baby with you. We always do. Oh, look at him. He’s so sweet. And hey, you ever need a babysitter? Hey. Don’t hesitate to call. I miss being around babies. And kids. I especially miss being around Thomas and Charlotte. Yeah, I’m sure you do. I miss a lot of things, actually.

God, that sounded so self pitying. I just, I’m, uh, I’m going through a rough time. Is it about Everett? Did something happen? Yeah, something sure did. I was totally blindsided.

Well, hey. I didn’t think you’d be in today. Well, I’m not. I’m not officially. Uh huh. What’s all that stuff? I got it from my storage. It has all of my divorce documents in it, along with some other things like my receipts and tax docs. Right, right. From when you were living in Seattle with Robbie. Right. From that very awful time.

Although it did have its moments. Yeah. Listen, I, um, I’m sorry. I’m sorry for what Vincent found. Oh, don’t be, because you know why? Vincent is misinformed. I am not still legally married to Bobby Stein. Somewhere in this box, there’s the proof.

Extend through the hourglass. So are the days of our lives.

Ah, that was fast. I told you I was starving. That was good. Thanks, Dad. You are welcome. So, uh, hey, what are you, what are you doing for spring break? You got plans? Or no, I thought I would still be locked up in the halfway house. So I didn’t make any. Right. Well, I have an idea. This weekend, the Cubbies are playing.

And they’re playing the Dodgers. So it’s gonna be a good game, and I was thinking maybe You wanna go? Yeah! Yeah? Yeah! Yeah, that sounds like fun. Good, good. Actually, I have to find my mitt, though, in case we get foul balls. You have to find it. Can’t find your mitt? You can have Dad’s mitt. Okay. Alright. Thanks.

Sure.

You know, buddy, I know, I know recently you’ve probably felt that like nobody believed you about the drugs and that no one was in your corner. And I understand how rough that must have been, but I want you to know that I, I’m proud of the way you handled it. Even when I stole mom’s phone and broke out of that halfway house?

No, I was not proud of that part, but my point is we make mistakes, right? I make mistakes, but it’s how we atone for them and amend and learn from our mistakes that builds character. And you have a hell of a lot of character, son. I’m glad you think so, dad. I do. I do, and I think you need to take, you know, the past and put it behind you.

Yeah, that’s, yeah. Why, why, why are you saying it like that? I just, I guess because I’m nervous to go back to school. Now that I have a phone, I can see what all the kids are saying about me and about what happened. Yeah, but you were, you know, you’re real friends. They, they, they They stood up for you, right?

Yeah, yeah, they did. Actually, Ted, do you mind if I take off for a while and I go hang out with them? Uh, sure. Yeah, which, which friends? Um, Ian and Aaron, the same friends I was with last night. We were actually, we were gonna go to the mall and check out some used video game deals. Okay, yeah, no, that, that sounds good.

I can give you a lift, because I’m on my way out. Totally fine, I can walk. It’s fine. Thank you. You can walk, okay. Alright, take care. Thanks, Dad. Have fun, man. Thanks.

Yes, finally! You found it? I found it. Decree of Divorce. Look at it, right there. That’s it, you found it. And you said you would. I gotta tell you, I am relieved to not be sleeping with a married woman. Don’t even joke like that.

So, Everett Is actually Bobby Stein. Apparently so. But he has no memory of being married to Jada. Claims he never laid eyes on her until they met here, in Salem. Wow, that is strange. And complicated. I don’t suppose that Jada ever really mentioned much about her marriage to Bobby? Nothing in depth about their marriage or divorce.

Well, it was obviously a very painful time for her. And now she finds out that I was the other woman. The one who came between her and her husband. Except, he doesn’t believe he ever was her husband. Anyway, it’s just, it’s crazy complicated, like you said. Hey, I hope for your own peace of mind you find forgiveness.

I hope so too. Because, You know, we’ll never really know whatever it was going through, will we? I just think that people shouldn’t judge unless they’ve walked in someone’s shoes.

Anyway, um, I wish I could stay in here more, but I have to meet a client now. Oh, of course. Stephanie, it was so nice to see you. You too. And good luck. Thanks. Hey, come here. Hey.

I’m really sorry you’re going through this, Steph. Yeah, well, I’m also sorry for the way I’ve handled it. Why do you say that? Well, it seems every time I Try to talk to Jada, she just gets more and more upset with me. See, she blames me for not knowing that Everett was married when we got together. Wonders why I didn’t do a background check.

Why I didn’t think it was odd that I never met his friends or family. And now that I know that. He cheated on her, blew up their marriage. Well, she’s furious that I haven’t turned my back on him.

Hey, so thanks for meeting with me this morning. Oh, of course. And coincidentally, I ran into Stephanie just a bit ago. Oh, did you? Yeah, I was having breakfast with Erica and the baby and she just walked in and she told us all about Everett and Bobby and how angry you were with her. Yeah. And him. Yeah, and I’m sure she played the victim role.

Poor Stephanie. So confused. Lost. Terrible luck with men. Well, she seemed, uh Well, she seemed really sad about the whole deal. I mean, why wouldn’t she be? But don’t worry, I didn’t let her know that you had just called, or let on to believe that I had known anything about what she was telling us. I just want you to know, I do keep client confidentiality very, very sacred.

Well, I do appreciate your discretion, but I just discovered this. So as you can see, Bobby and I are in fact legally divorced. Actually, I spoke with Rafe’s friend Vincent this morning and more details are coming to light. What details? Unfortunately, this is a legal divorce decree. But the one filed didn’t have Robert’s signature, only yours.

So, technically, you are still married to Mr. Stein. Well,

EJ confirmed that, uh, that Stefan confessed and was arrested. But he, uh, he declined to comment any further. Last time I saw Stefan, he was really drunk. It was an emotional mess. And, um Not knowing that he was involved in a drug rig and working under Clyde. I guess that makes sense. I don’t know, maybe it was a cry for help.

I’m sorry. I’ve got to go. I’ve got a lead on a story at Saxton’s I have to check out. Later, Gators. Okay, so I, I wrote up a story. Are we going to post it? Of course. You sure? Last time it looked like Stefan was involved in the Bistro drug ring, you asked me to look the other way. He was obviously not innocent that time either, so I don’t know.

Maybe you prefer I cover this up too. I’m sorry, excuse me. What, what the hell did your brother just say to you? The bistro, the OD, everything. It’s out of the piece, period. Damn it, Chad. That is outrageous. Not only is it outrageous, it is unfair to Holly Jonas. It is unfair to every single victim of the people who are perpetrating this.

How can you not see that? Yeah, how can you not see that? I call the shots. Now get back to work. And you, stay in your own lane from now on. Keep it down, baby. Come on, baby. Getting out of here.

So, you’ll do what you have to do. Listen, this is an assault on the integrity of this paper. Do what you have to do, Everett.

I will.

So, the Lamira board got wind of Stefan’s arrest. No surprises. And let me guess, the stocks are down, right? Oh, way down. And they are furious. They’re demanding that Stefan resign immediately as CEO, or they’re going to invoke the morality clause in his contract and kick him out. You can’t blame them. I don’t.

Not at all. They’ve been working hard to recreate a positive image for their customers and clients, and Stefan being connected to a drug ring, it’s, it’s, it’s the last thing that Tamira needs. EJ, you don’t think

What? Say it. I wonder if your brother’s responsible for the drugs that put Holly in a coma. It could be. All I do know is that Stefan helped Clyde traffic the drugs through the bistro because Clyde threatened to kill Gabby if he didn’t fall in line. In other words, He was trying to save his wife’s life.

Great. That doesn’t make it right. Yeah, well, none of this is right. Brady. Brady, this is a bad time. Well, given that my son lost three months of his life, you’re going to listen to what I have to say. Okay. What do you want, Brady? Nicole, I want what I already demanded. Alright? And since my demand seems to be going ignored, I’m I’m gonna remind you again, I want a public apology from E.

J. DiMera to Tate Black. Furthermore, I want D. A. DiMera to admit, with full remorse and full regret, that he was wrong. Egregiously so. To accuse my son of a crime that he did not commit that put him through hell. That’s what I want. That’s what I’m gonna get. For my son, for my son’s family. Do you have a problem with that, EJ?

But I don’t understand. I have the divorce decree right here. How is it not valid? Because Robert never signed the divorce papers. Right. And no one would have ever known that had the error not been discovered by Ray’s friend. Yeah, come on. Oh, it’s just for now. Oh, look, it would have come out eventually. I mean, you need that paper to be legit if you ever want to remarry again.

I mean, isn’t it better just to get it all over with now? Damn, I just, I can’t believe this is happening right now. Linda, this is not an insurmountable problem, okay? Not at all. Vincent already sent over the paperwork. All you have to do is get Robert Stein to sign them. Okay, I am going to do that. I’m going to do that right now.

Look, since the raid on the bistro didn’t actually uncover anything, I chose to believe my brother when he said he was innocent. Now, in hindsight, knowing what we know now, that was a mistake. That was my mistake. I own that. But no, we’re not going to cover anything up. You can write your damn story. Good.

Hey. Steph. Hey. Hope I’m not interrupting. No. What’s up? Well, I came to tell you that I decided to stay on as the Spectator’s PR person. That is great news. However ever it is, you and I discussed. I think it’s best if Chad be my primary point of contact. Okay, yeah. Um, makes sense. Oh, uh, excuse me. Sorry. Bobby, uh, Everett, or whatever you’re calling yourself.

I need you to meet me at the pub, right now. I can’t, I’m at work. It’s urgent, it won’t take more than five minutes of your time. Fine, I’ll see you soon.

I gotta run. More on the story? Not sure. But, uh, take a look at what I wrote. If you like it, post it. I’ll be back soon. What was that about?

I have no problem making a public apology to Tate. I didn’t think you would. Given what he’s been through, thanks to your bias against him, and your daughter’s deceit. Sweetheart, do you need anything? Nope, um, I’m just gonna take a walk around the garden. Hey, what are you doing? Shh, your

dad is here. What, my dad is in there? Yeah. Did he know you were coming here? No, no, no, no. Of course not. No, I told him I was going to the mall. And by the way, I’m sorry for throwing pebbles at your window, but since you don’t have a phone, it’s No, it’s, it’s okay. You’re just lucky I was in my room. Hello. I know.

Speaking of phones, I have a little surprise for you. Hmm. Oh my, is this a burner? Uh huh. Oh, And I already put my phone number in there, so we can talk anytime you just have to keep Damn right I will. You’re a lifesaver, Tate.

Ah! Look who’s here! It is the cutest father son duo on the planet. I’m Leo. And this guy, always giving me the sweetest, cutest little gummy smile. Hey Jude, what do you think of my new scarf? Oh, he’s unimpressed. What do you think of it? Snazzy, huh? And get this, I got it on sale at 99. In fact, everything in that store is on sale for at least 40 percent off right now.

If you want to go do a little shopping, I’m happy to watch Junior here for a minute. After all, I am his fairy godfather. He and I have a special connection, don’t we, my little sweet potato? That’s a very kind offer, but, uh, Sloane and I, uh, I’m kind of budgeting right now. We got a lot of expenses. Ah, yes.

Expenses. I’ll get you every time. Yeah. Well, moving off the crass subject of finances, that christening, what a marvelous ceremony. Truly, I was really honored to be included. Thank you. And thank you for such kind words. Well, I can be quite eloquent when the spirit moves me.

So, you’re doing okay? Adjusting to life on the outside? Uh, yeah, I’m doing so much better than just adjusting. Holly, I’m so relieved to be out of the halfway house. Weird people, stupid rules, cringy food. I mean it was beyond horrible. Tate, I’m really sorry. It’s okay. I’m out now. And I get to hang out with you.

So, Some spring break, right? Yeah, it was a total waste. I’m so not ready to go back to school. Yeah, me neither, but we don’t really have a choice. There is one good thing, and it’s our parents can’t keep us separated while we’re there. I know, right? So, how about we make a pact? What do you mean? Okay, um, let’s agree to find each other between periods.

And we’ll hold hands in the halls and talk. And then, and then for lunch we’ll find a really private secret space to, you know, be together with no one staring at us or anything. I have the perfect spot under the oak tree at the far end of the quad. Yes, that’s perfect. But in the meantime

Do you have the gardeners? Hey, why don’t we sneak up to my room before anyone sees us? And I’ll be sure to lock the door this time. Yeah, yeah, I’m down. Let’s just make sure the coast is clear.

Listen, Brady, I told Holly that she not only needs to apologize to Tate, but also to you and Teresa. Well, yeah, you need to make that clear to your husband as well. Although I will, as I said, issue a public apology to your son, do bear in mind that I went where the evidence pointed and did what the law allowed.

No, I will not bear that in mind, EJ, because the reason the evidence pointed towards my son is because of your bias against him, because of your hatred for Okay, okay, okay, stop. Both of you, please.

Excuse me. Honey. Look, none of this would have gotten out of hand if Holly didn’t do drugs in the first place. Or if she immediately told us the truth when she woke up from the coma and was lucid. And Tate screwed things up because he covered for Holly. In the beginning, anyway. But EJ, look, the truth is out now.

And the kids need us to be united. So we need to set a good example and do the right thing.

Well said, Nicole. And I agree that we all need to take the high road. So, Brady. I apologize for having accused your son of a crime it turns out he did not commit. The DA’s office will issue an appropriate statement as soon as possible. I look forward to that.

Hi, Jada. What, uh, what’s this about? It’s about a personal matter. I’ve hired Sloane Peterson as my lawyer. Okay. Hello, Mr. Stein. Uh, name is Lynch. Everett Lynch. Not according to the divorce papers. What divorce papers? Ours. I asked you for a divorce when I found out you were cheating on me. How many times do I have to tell you this?

I don’t remember you. Okay, so why would I remember being married, much less divorced? Well, I guess that last part is understandable. Apparently, you and I never actually got divorced. Under the law, we are still married.

Okay, well, uh, we’ll walk you out.

Take it. What the hell are you doing? My God. Holly. I can’t believe this.

I’m such an idiot for letting my brother use me like that. And then this story. Like anytime I think the DiMeras are rebuilding their image, something like this happens.

Hey, you okay? You distracted? Yeah, sorry. It’s about Everett. Yeah. That makes sense. Chad, it’s all such a mystery. Is he Everett? Is he Bobby? Should I hate him for deceiving Jada and me, or should I stand by him?

Just, I I don’t want to believe that he meant to hurt either of us.

Still married. Okay. Since I don’t remember being married in the first place. What you do or don’t remember is irrelevant at this point. Sloane, would you please just show him the papers? Here you go. You can just sign right here.

That’s it. I guess I will see you around. Uh, wait a minute! What? What the hell is this?

Damn, boy.

Dear Miss Peterson, it’s the month and you still haven’t paid rent.

Damn it, Tate, we are leaving right now. I told you, you were not allowed to see her. I want to see him, too. I don’t care. I don’t want my son to be around you, Holly, okay? You let him take the fall for your drug overdose and almost jeopardized his future. You Surprises me that he wants to be around you. Dad, I forgive her.

Well, you shouldn’t. Okay, um, I, I, I agree with Brady. You know, I think maybe you two shouldn’t hang out together. At least for the time being. No, no, you can’t do this to us. Dad, please. We’re not angry with each other. It’s only you guys who are angry. I’m sorry, I’m sorry. The adults agree on this. It’s for the best.

You two are not to see each other anymore.

Look, first and foremost, Seth, you gotta take care of yourself. Okay? And you do that by distancing yourself from Everett. I know right now you’re confused, and you’re hurt, and rightfully so. Okay, look, you asked yourself if you should stand by him. I don’t think that’s gonna be good for you, Steph. I mean, let him lean on somebody else for a change.

Sas just did. He doesn’t have anyone. Not in Salem. I will tell you what, what if What if I do it? What if I lend him an ear whenever he needs it? That’s very kind of you, Chad. With him, I don’t, I don’t think he’s gonna want to open up to you.

Take that personally, I guess. Listen, let him branch out then. Tell him to, uh, join a softball league or, or go to church. You know? I mean, find, find some way to meet new people. I don’t, I don’t think softball or church would interest him. Well, there’s plenty of other ways to meet people. Look, I This advice, I, you know, I don’t I don’t want it to come across as me sounding jealous, cause You know, that’s not it.

I just Look, you’re my friend. And I care about you a lot. And, and I just don’t want to see you get hurt any more than you already have. You

signed Everett Lynch. That’s who I am. Okay. Now I need you to sign Bobby Stein. That is who was married to Jada.

But I’m not that man.

Sorry. I can’t sign for him.

That’d be forgery. I’m, I’m so sorry, Detective Hunter. You’re, you’re gonna have to find another way to, to get your divorce. I’m sorry.

Days of Our Lives Transcript

 

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

So, we have pistachios, we have granola bars, we have an oatmeal cookie, yes, and books. We have more books of my favorite Stephen King novels, The Stand, and The Shawshank Redemption. Oh, great. The books I’m actually gonna read, you know, cause my life still has no internet, no Wi Fi, So, you know, binge watching Yellowstone is just not in the cards for me, is it?

I’m not complaining. I’m not complaining. This is better than Statesville. Don’t get me wrong, okay? I just, you know, miss the daily brawls at Statesville every now and then. Break up the monotony of this whole place, but it’s okay. I’m at the point in my life right now where I’m, never thought I would say this, but I’m looking forward to Vespers.

You know, a month ago, I didn’t even know what Vespers were. So you’re, you’re praying a lot? Yes, Mom. I’m praying a lot. Praying that I get out of here. Praying that I can see my family. Praying that I get my life back.

Alex. Hi there. Hey, Dr. Evans. Hey. I haven’t seen you for a while. I know, right? Not since, um, the night Theresa left. Please, sit down. Thank you. Of course. I’m assuming Brady brought you up to speed on the latest? Yes, he did. He told me that you’d moved on with Kristen. I have to admit, it made me wonder. What?

It made me wonder why you would get involved with somebody who is so difficult. And I thought maybe you had some, you know, ulterior motive.

So, feel good to be home? Amazing, especially after having that stupid ankle monitor removed. Man, I hated that thing. Well, that thing is gone. We are just so glad that you’re here. So, do you want to take a nap or something? You gotta be exhausted, buddy. Are you kidding? I’m way too wound up to be tired. I’m also kind of hungry.

You hungry? Do we, should we get dinner? What do you want? What do you want? Uh, I’ve kind of been dreaming of a buddy’s burger with onion rings and that, that awesome ranch dipping sauce. Oh, okay. Alright. If you want a buddy’s burger with the onion rings and the amazing ranch dipping sauce, that’s what you’re gonna get.

Your dad’s gonna go out and get it for you. No problem. No, it’s okay. Don’t worry. Um, I, I really want to go out. I just, you know, want to be around people. What people? I, my, my friends. And, you know, I haven’t seen them in a while. I texted them when I got back. We just, we just wanted to hang out. Well, if Holly is one of those friends, you can forget it.

You’re going to stay right here.

Hey, Mom. Uh, Harold said you wanted to see me. Hi, Mom. Sit down, Holly.

Mom, please. Stop. Don’t say another word. Mom, I just. Honey. This is how this is gonna work. I’m going to talk, and you’re going to listen.

Like sand through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.

Okay, listen, if you’re insinuating that I’m not attracted to Kristen No, no, I wasn’t insinuating anything. Oh, there you are. Oh, I hope I’m not late. Uh, no, no, no, not at all. Uh, not at all. Uh, we’re just, um, Well, we’re, we’re having supper. We’re having kind of a girl’s night out. Oh, nice. Which I’ve been so looking forward to.

And so have I. I’m sorry, do you, do you know Alex Kiriakis? Yes, yes. We have met. Yes, we have, Mayor Price. Good to see you. Looking fabulous, might I add. And may I also add, I am very happy to hear about your recovery. You’re amazing. Not that we all didn’t already know that. Hmm, okay. Uh, is there anything else?

Why are you buttering me up, Mr. Kiriakis? Is there any particular reason? Not at all. I just appreciate strong, beautiful women. That’s all. Oh, I have a feeling that you appreciate a whole lot of women. And I was just leaving for the night. Thank you both, Dr. Evans. Very good to see you. See you soon, Alex. Is he your patient?

Never mind, never mind, I know you can’t answer that. Anyway, I hope he is because I’m guessing that, that guy needs some help. How are you, Paulina? Good. I am just fine and so very grateful that you asked me out. It’s been too long. Has been too long. Has been too long. I was hoping that I could take you to the bistro, but sadly it hasn’t reopened yet.

Probably, probably for the best, for me anyway. Oh, at least I don’t have to stare at all. Buttery French food that I can’t eat while I’m on this miserable low iodine diet before my treatment. Well, hopefully you will find something in this menu to your liking. Oh, I know I can without even looking. I’m gonna have a vodka meat.

Waiter!

Lucas, I’m praying too. Really? I was just hoping you could do a little bit more than that, but Okay, like, like what? You knew that the, that the deal to shorten your sentence was never finalized, right? Right. I know that. It’s not my fault that I got attacked before I could do what I had to do, before I could out Weston.

Well, of course not. But the point is, he escaped, so I don’t know what we have now to persuade them to let you out early. So what are you saying? What are you saying, Mom? I’m stuck here? I just gotta do my time.

Did I say Holly? Did I even mention her name? Holly is one of your friends, right? Is she not? So what? Why are you even asking me that? Are you guys gonna continue to treat me like a prisoner? And my god, I’ve been stuck in rehab and then a halfway house for months for no reason! We don’t think that you are a prisoner, we just We don’t want you seeing or speaking to Holly Jonas for obvious reasons.

We know you’ve been cooped up. We know you’re anxious to get out there and see your friends, but I think your mom, I think she was hoping that you would just stick around here tonight, you know? We missed you. I’ve missed you guys too, but I saw you when you came to visit. I haven’t seen my friends in forever.

So please, just for tonight, can I go out? Just to be a thousand percent. Sure, you are not going to see I’m not going to see Holly Okay, then then I want you to have fun And uh, have a good time, okay, thanks dad. I’ll see you mom. I promise I won’t be out late Better not be

What do you think your consequences should be for what you did To be honest, I kind of thought I’d be grounded by now Yeah, well, I wanted to make sure that I thought things through and that I wasn’t coming from a place of anger or embarrassment or hurt. And I know the purpose of consequences is to stop the behavior from happening in the future, obviously.

So you talk about in therapy, Dr. Evans. We talk about a lot of things. Mostly me. Well, frankly, honey, that’s none of your business. And like I said, I just, I wanted to make sure that the punishment fit the crime. And what you did, honey, was a crime. You lied to the police. You let EJ prosecute an innocent bystander who was your friend.

And I know you said you were trying to protect me. And even if that was true. It is true. Regardless. I think part of you was just trying to protect yourself.

Let me be clear, honey. I am the one who is supposed to protect you, and if you just had been open and honest with me from the beginning, none of this would have happened. It’s true. So whatever punishment you have for me, I know I deserve it.

Okay, Lucas, look. We can’t just give up, okay? I’m not giving up on getting you out of here. I’m just not doing that. It has to count for something, that you almost got killed because you informed on Clyde. Alright? Look it, Harris has recovered, he’s out of the hospital, so You know what? He needs to step up.

He got me into this mess. He keeps making promises he can’t keep. Okay. Trust me. If he doesn’t come through on his promises, then I’m going straight to the governor. And I’m going to do something about this. Cause one way or another, you’re getting your freedom back.

Now, mind you, I’m not supposed to be having more than one alcoholic drink a day on this diet. Uh, and mostly I’ve been drinking water and club soda. I’m glad to hear that. But I decided to indulge tonight because I’m having a girl’s night out. Like you said, with a different, I’m glad we can make this happen.

Me too. Me too. But I’m telling you more later for a no big deal. Cancer, this treatment, ooh, some pain in the ass. Mind you, mind you. I am very grateful that I am alive to be going through this pain in the ass treatment. We are all so grateful. And I suspect that it might be difficult for you to, to be in isolation.

You’re just, you’re normally so active. Oh, I am dreading not being able to see someone’s eyes glaze over when I talk their ear off. You don’t do that. You’re a wonderful conversationalist. And maybe you’ll be able to relish the quiet. Oh, I highly doubt it. See, I got weeks of that when I was in the hospital, so I’m over it.

Truth is, there is nothing about sitting in isolation that I am going to relish. Especially being separated from my husband. Well, the first thing you’re going to do is make amends with Tate. Well, that’s a little hard to do seeing as his parents don’t want me to see him. And you’re going to respect their wishes by writing to them.

And to him, letters by hand, not text or snap. Mom, Tate knows how sorry I am. Good, and you’re gonna remind him. Very sincerely. And very empathetically. Honey, you You took months away from Tate’s life that you can never give back. And quite frankly, I’m surprised that he found it in his heart to forgive you.

Have you, Mom? Will you ever forgive me?

Tate? I didn’t realize you were allowed to Wait, are you supposed to be out here right now? I’m supposed to be wherever I want. Yeah, but you can get in big trouble if you get caught. No, I can’t. I was, uh, I was just released today. Okay. What? Really? Yes. Really. That’s great news, man. I’m happy for you. You don’t have to pretend to care.

That you’re happy. I’m free now. I’m not stupid, alright? And I know you broke up with my mom, and I know you were two seconds away from calling the cops on me just now. Ugh.

Sorry the tape flew out of here so fast. Yeah, well, I can’t blame him. I mean, what kid wants to stay home with their parents and eat cake? I don’t know, I think that chocolate cake was a pretty good reason to hang around. As are you. Back at you. I just can’t believe he’s finally home. You know, I thought this day would never come.

I know. Kind of feels like the nightmare is finally over. Thank God. I don’t think Tate’s going to be too happy though when he sees that all my stuff has kind of taken over his room. I have to clear out of there and, uh Teresa, Teresa. He packs light anyway. There’s no reason he can’t just stay on the couch.

No. He can’t. No, absolutely not. The poor kid hasn’t slept in his own bed in months. I’m not going to do that to him. Okay, then, then, then why don’t you just sleep in my bed?

Uh, and, uh, Marlena, while we’re on the subject of my previous hospital stay, there is something I’d like to ask you about my, uh, well, My near death experience. Okay. See, now I’ve, I’ve heard about what happens when you’re, uh, brain dead. That the brain releases neurochemicals that Make, make you see things that aren’t there.

Did you see something that wasn’t there? I did. At least I think I did. Maybe I was just dreaming. But it all felt so real. First, There was this bright light. That’s a very common occurrence. You know that? Yes. Yes. I do know that. But then

Marlena, do you believe in ghosts?

To be perfectly clear, your mother was the one who broke up with me more or less. Oh yeah. And I’m actually very happy to hear that you’ve been released. Hey, If you remember, I was the guy who hired your first lawyer. And if your mom didn’t fire him, you might have gotten out a long time ago. Not that I’m blaming her at all.

I’m just really happy everything worked out in the end. Me too. Obviously. Yeah. So your mom was crashing in your old room, right? Where’s she gonna go now that you’re home? Uh, I don’t know. I hadn’t really thought about it. Your bed?

Yeah. I mean, you can, uh, you can sleep in my bed and I’ll sleep on the couch. Oh, wait a minute, you Did you, did you think that I meant No. No. No. No, I didn’t think that. Absolutely not. Uh huh. Anyway, I wouldn’t take your bed. That wouldn’t be right. Theresa, I would be totally fine with it, okay? No. I wouldn’t do that.

So, I guess there’s only one thing left for me to do. And what would that be? It’s time for me to move out. Where are you gonna go? I don’t know. I’ll rent a room at the Salem Inn. I’ll figure it out. Theresa, you don’t have to do that. Yes, I do. I’m moving out, Brady. I think this is best for everybody. Of course I forgive you.

I’m so, I’m, I’m, I’m angry and I’m sad. I’m done. And I’m scared. Scared? Why? Mom, I’m fine. For now. Honey, how long were you using drugs before what happened on New Year’s? A few weeks. That’s all, I swear. And the drugs you were taking? Where did you get them? At school. And not to like, freak you out mom, but they’re kind of everywhere.

I know, honey, I’m aware of that. But mom, you gotta know that after what happened, oh my god, I will never, ever use again. I sure as hell hope not. And I hope that there are fewer drugs on the streets, at least in Salem anyway, now that Clyde Weston’s drug ring has been busted. Yeah, but, Mom, you also have to know that I never thought something like this could happen.

I mean, so many kids have prescriptions for these pills. Yes, but they’re using them for a medical condition. You’re not. And honey, you have no idea what you’re getting off the streets. And you learned that in the hardest way possible. Believe me, Mom, I’ve learned my lesson. Have you?

I mean, have you used or, or had a drink since that night, since New Year’s Eve? A drink? A drink. You know alcohol is a drug too. And I shouldn’t have to remind you that you are underage. Uh, Okay, well, After the christening, when Eric gave me an ultimatum to tell you the truth, I, I was really nervous and scared, so, So I had some champagne.

Great. Right under my nose. You were busy, and I was very stealth, and it was only two glasses. I promise nobody could even tell.

Well, thank you for being honest with me, Holly. But I need to be honest with you. I want to trust you. I do. But now you’ve just shown me that I can’t.

My fate lies in the hands of Harris Michaels. That’s great. Swell. It’s worked out so far. Look, Lucas. He saved my life. Yeah. Well, he almost got you killed, so. Well, you, my friend, have to have a little faith, okay? But in the meantime, I need you to promise me that no matter how bored you get, you will not leave this place.

No matter what. Because let me tell you, Clyde has eyes and ears everywhere. Even at the Salem PD. What does that bastard want with me? I can’t bring him down. You said it yourself. Okay. Well, I probably know him better than anyone. And let me tell you, that man, unfortunately, is all about revenge. Oh, great.

Great. So even if I get out of Statesville, what’s going to happen? I’m not going to be safe until he’s dead? Paulina, tell me about what happened in the hospital. Tell me about this near death experience. Um,

Buckle up, Marlena. Because you’re gonna think I’m crazy. That word is not in my vocabulary. Well, then, you’re gonna think I’m clinically insane. Look, whatever happened, it brought you back to us, and for that we will always be grateful. Well, it’s lovely to hear that. Okay. So then, uh, here goes.

After I saw the light, Abe’s late wife, Lexi, appeared. At first I thought she was going to take me into the light, you know, to cross to the other side. But she wasn’t. She told me she wanted me to stay with Abraham. Then, all of a sudden, I was healed. He got his memory back. It was a double miracle. That it was.

And look now, I know, I know, I know I had a lot of medication in me. But, Abe, he saw the same thing. Now, do you, so, do you, you think that, Really could have happened.

Do you answering a question with a question that what they teach you to do in shrink school now and then? Yeah, that’s what I figured. Joking aside now. Yeah, I’m just I’m just starting to, you know, to wonder. Wonder what? Well, you know, you know, uh, I heard Kate’s voice from, you know, in the, you know, outside of that urn, you know, at the Brady pub, way back, when she was supposed to be dead.

So, You think maybe I have some kind of extrasensory perception or something? Hmm. You know, there are so many things in this world that we don’t understand. I think nothing would surprise me anymore.

I’m not really sure where she’s gonna live, but I’m sure she’ll figure it out. She always does. Hey, Tate, um, would you mind just letting her know how happy I am that everything worked out okay for you? Why don’t you tell her yourself? You guys work together, right? Yeah, well, she’s kind of been avoiding me at the office, so.

Mm, yeah. You know, I feel like there’s a simple solution to that problem. One that doesn’t involve, you know, playing telephone through me. You are very mature for your age, young man. Has anybody ever told you that? I don’t think so, yeah. Nobody’s ever told me that either, so.

Hey man, if you don’t mind me asking, and you talking about it, what happened? How did you get released? Uh, Holly finally remembered that the drugs she overdid on were hers. What do you mean she finally remembered? Wouldn’t she know that, like, all along? Hard to say. Or you just don’t want to say? At all. That she let you take the fall for her, didn’t she?

It’s, it’s complicated. She was going through a lot. Oh my god, you are covering for a girl who put you through absolute hell. You are a better man than me, my friend. I don’t think I would ever be able to forgive somebody who screwed me over like that. You sure I can’t talk you into staying? You know, I don’t know.

I think it’s best that I just walk out of here on a high note. Instead of you and me fighting, for once we fought together. For Tate. And we won. We did. We’ve come a long way, baby. Yeah, we have. I will, uh, I’ll miss having you around. Ditto.

I’ll see you at the office, right? Uh, yeah, no, actually, I’ve been working remotely since I broke things off with Alex. You know, it’s less awkward that way. Look, Theresa, if you want, I can help smooth that over a little bit. No. No. It’s okay. I’m a big girl. I can, I can handle it. I know. Then I will, uh, See you sometime, somewhere else.

Yeah, definitely. Gee, I can help you with those bags if you want. No, I’m good. Thank you. And I’ll write a thank you note to John and Marlena for letting me stay.

Take care, Brady.

I don’t get it. I just told you the truth and now all of a sudden you don’t trust me? You almost died, Holly. And you still clearly have not learned your lesson. Mom. And the only way to earn my trust back is through time and hard work. So the first thing that you’re gonna do is go to therapy. And not because it’s a punishment.

I just think you need it after all the trauma that you went through. And that is non negotiable. Okay. Fine. Yes. And if the therapist thinks that you need further treatment, then Like rehab? Mom, no. Don’t tell me no. You just admitted that you drank shortly after you came out of a coma from a drug overdose.

I hadn’t just come out of it. I’d been okay for a while. And what, like, you haven’t had two glasses of champagne when you were my age? Come on, you were doing a lot Excuse me! Don’t you dare, don’t you dare throw my past in my face! That was different.

I thought at the very least you would be contrite. I am. I’m sorry. Really sorry.

Honey, can you even grasp what you have put Tate and Tate’s family through? He was beat up in jail. I was in a coma, Mom. For months. It’s not my fault that EJ went ballistic on him. Tate discouraged you from taking those drugs. He was trying to protect you. And the only reason he was made out to be a villain was because EJ believed me when I said you would never take drugs.

Okay.

The only way, um, that I’m gonna feel better about this whole thing is that I make sure that you are no longer in danger of relapsing. Which means you are grounded indefinitely. What? You can’t do that! I have to see my friend! Well, then you can see your friends here. Now give me your phone and your car keys.

Oh my Now!

You know, I’m pretty sure I can swing an exemption to the no visitor policy since I’m on staff at the hospital. Oh, no, no, no, no. I would not want you exposing yourself to radiation, Marlena. I wouldn’t be. I’d be able to wear the suit and keep my visits very brief. You sure? Oh, I’m sure. Oh, oh, you’re a good friend, Molly.

Oh, and I’m a terrible one. Why would you say that? Because here we’ve been talking about me the whole time and I haven’t asked you a thing about you. Your life has been a whole lot more exciting than mine the last couple weeks. I find that hard to believe. You know, to be honest, you, you don’t, you don’t seem like yourself.

Is everything alright? Oh, I’m not covering very well. Oh, no, I can tell. You’re making the effort, but, uh, I can see the worry in your face. Uh, but hey, you know, if you don’t want to talk about it No, you know, the thing is that it’s, it’s about John. He’s been going through a lot of revelations about his past.

Oh, I’m very sorry to hear that. Ooh, well I’ve been there myself and I know it can be difficult to exercise those deep, uh, to move on. Yeah, well. He, he will be fine. He’ll get through it just fine. And I’m, and I’m there to support him and help him. Yeah, I’m guessing this isn’t your first time at that rodeo.

Yeah. No. But John’s been going through this for a very long time. Well, He’s lucky to have you. I’m lucky to have him too.

We both are.

To us. Amen to that.

Hey, Teresa. Can I help you with that? Uh, no, I’m

Actually, Yeah, that would be great, yeah. You know, I just ran into Tate. I told him to tell you how happy I am that he’s out of the halfway house. But I guess now I’m actually telling you that myself. Hmm. Yeah, right. Um, hey, thank you for what you did to support him. In case I didn’t show my appreciation. No, no, you didn’t.

I also asked him where you’re going to be crashing now that he’s home. I’m gonna get a room at the Salem Inn until I figure out a more permanent solution. Why? What do you mean, why? I mean, half of your belongings are at my place, which is, you know, a little hard to believe considering you have all this here.

Anyway, why would you be spending money on a hotel room? We started this thing off as a platonic living arrangement, and there’s no reason why we couldn’t get back to it. Um, actually, I can think of a few reasons.

Oh my God, you want me to give up my phone and my freedom? Those are the terms. No. Excuse me? Did you just say no to me? Let me remind you who is in charge here. I’ve been in a coma for months, Mom. I haven’t seen my friends. I haven’t done anything but sleep and almost die. If you’re so happy I’m alive, then why won’t you just let me live?

Giving up your phone isn’t going to kill you. Yes, it will. My entire life is on that. Well, that’s your first problem. That’s funny, because you didn’t think so when you got it for me when I was only 10. So then when I walked myself home from school, you’d know I got there. So I could be completely self sufficient when you weren’t around.

Order my own meals, buy my own clothes. That way you wouldn’t have to think about me at all. Whoa, whoa, that is not true. Well, here’s what is true. You’re punishing me for lying and the only, yes, the only reason I lied was so that you wouldn’t think you were a bad mom. But, you know what? The truth is I started taking those drugs because you were completely checked out.

My father died before I was born and all I’ve ever had was you. I mean, yeah, sure, there was Eric before you screwed that up and made him walk out on us. And now there’s EJ who doesn’t give a damn about me and God knows who will be next year.

Give me your phone. Now.

Here, but I’m not giving you the password. Hallie, I’m not going to go through your phone. I just don’t want you to call any dealers. Dealers? Really? Geez, Mom, why do you always have to be so extreme? Oh, you want to go there? Okay. Okay. You plotted to break up Johnny and Chanel, and now you’re all up in it with Tate?

Seems you always want what you can’t have. Just like me. Honey, I love you. I love you with all my heart, and I will do anything to protect you, even if you hate me for it.

I’m gonna go upstairs to bed, and you should too. Good night. Mmm. Mmm.

Oh. Oh, you know, these carrot sticks have a lot more appeal when paired with vodka. Ha ha ha ha. Mmm. Mmm. Mmm. Maybe. It’s just the company. Oh, I agree. We should do this again soon. Oh, yes, yes, we should now. Soon as I’m un radioactive. Let’s make a date. Yes. You know, you’re going to come through this with flying colors.

Oh, well, I hope so. You know, Marlena, you and me. We’re some tough broads, aren’t we? We are some tough broads. To us. To us, your bride.

Well, thanks for bringing me all this stuff. Especially the books, I really like the books. Ah, more to come. Oh, great. No internet, no wifi, so books are important. I’m gonna be a nerd. Book, bookworm, nerd. It’s gonna be great. Yeah. Well, books are sad for the lonely soul. I’ll just say what they say. Thanks. Yeah, I’ve just never been so lonely for this long, ever, in my life.

You have to hang in there, okay? It’s not gonna be forever.

I hope you’re right. God, I hope you’re right.

No, no, no, no, Bray. Don’t you go there.

I don’t get it. The Salem Inn? It’s expensive. It’s not exactly homey. I mean, why would you stay there when you could just Move back in with me. You really don’t get it. Okay. Um, for starters, you’re dating Kristen DeMera. If I move back in with you, I don’t know. She might put out a hit on me. Teresa, please.

We’ve been on like two dates together. Okay. Uh, you’re also a gazillionaire. It’s not like you need a roommate. So you think I’m going to charge you rent? Come on. I’m just trying to lend. to a friend in need. But if you don’t want to take me up on my offer, I don’t. Well, now, hold on. I didn’t say that I didn’t want to move in.

I just, I don’t want things to blow up the way that they did. I obviously don’t want that either. So I will promise to be a perfect gentleman. But that is about the only thing I can promise. Take it or leave it. Fine, I’ll take it. Oh, great. Let’s go. You shouldn’t

be here. It’s okay, it’s okay, I wouldn’t tell your mom. Why didn’t you answer any of my texts? My mother confiscated my phone. Polly? Hey, gotta go. Okay. Okay. But I’ll see you soon.

What is it now?

I don’t wanna go to bed angry.

You know when you were a baby, like you said, it was you and me against the world. And when we were in Italy, I would watch her every breath. And I would wonder what you were thinking cause you couldn’t talk to me yet. But this, this just brought me back to that time in our lives. When I fought to be your mother.

I will always fight for you, honey. I love you so much and I, I just couldn’t bear to lose you. I just wanted you to know.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Wow.

Well, when I called and told them to shut the place down, looks like they just threw their hands up and walked on out.

Now I sit in here. With Wendy and Tripp.

Stefan just strolled on in.

He had just shot you. And then I went out to loading dock and then That’s where I found you and

Thank God you did. Because I’m alive today because of you. Hey,

are you okay?

I’m just gonna go check the door again, I don’t Hey, hey, hey, the door is, the door is locked. Okay, you know that. I won’t When we were still in the hospital, before we even stepped foot in here, my mom had all the locks changed, she even had this, like, state of the art security system installed.

I’m sorry. I hate being like this. I’m not Usually paranoid or scared of my own shadow. Look, you have nothing to be sorry about. Okay? You are the bravest person that I know. I have hope. After what you went through, after what we both went through. I mean, it’s not like it’s easy to just move past that.

But you will. We both will. Gotta make it till we make it, right? Yeah,

definitely. I’m here for you, Wendy. Always, okay?

Hi. Hey. Hi. You wanna sit? Um.

So, how are you? Me? Uh, okay. I, uh, I had my first hypnosis. Oh? How’d that go? I don’t know, it’s sort of intense. I, uh, I saw something when I was under. Something that, uh,

scared the hell out of me. What? What did you see?

Tell me, Everett. I, uh,

I saw myself.

Hi, mister. Well, hi. Ready to call it a night? Well, I could be convinced. Your place or mine? Hmm. You know what? How about we go to the Brady pub first? Then we’ll decide, because I’m really craving a cup of chowder and a Brady burger. Hmm. You and me both.

Oh, man. I’m sorry. Um. Are they gonna take this? Do you know what, um, Is it alright if, uh, if I just maybe meet you there? Sure. Okay.

See you soon.

Hey Vince. Yeah. Did you find anything? What? Sorry I’m so late. Sarah! There’s a couple of lessons in emergency. Come here, quick, quick, quick. Check this out. Check this out. What is it? What? This is surveillance footage of Harris Michael’s unidentified shooter. When am I supposed to be noticing? Your pants.

Look closely, the stripes. I compared this picture To a photo of these fancy designer pants, and it’s a perfect match. Except, those pants are, well, they cost a bloody fortune, they’re like 2, 300, whereas my pants are like 40, generic, everyman, jogging pants. They’re just knockoffs of these. Okay. So, look very carefully at the stripes.

You’ll see the fancy designer pants, the stripes are thicker than they are on mine. Well, how can you be sure of that? I can be sure about what? Well, that your pants have a different stripe, a thinner one. The police have your pants, don’t they? Oh yeah, they do, but I have these. I have two more pairs of the same type, and here they are.

Remember when you were teasing me about my jogging uniform? Well, they’re on sale, so I’ve got a bunch more. Which means that Which means I finally have proof, Sarah. I’m proof that I’m innocent.

Like sand through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.

When you look at me, okay? After what we both went through, huh? How could you not be anxious? Scared of your own shadow, as you put it.

You know, I know you haven’t been sleeping well. No, hardly at all. In fact, when I do finally fall asleep,

I keep having this recurring dream where I’m just, I’m banging on the steel walls of that tank and I’m crying out for help and no one comes. And then when I wake up, I feel my heart pounding out of my chest.

I heard you talking in your sleep too. Shouting, in fact, get me out of here. I can’t breathe.

I didn’t realize that.

Look, you know what? I think that. We need What? Is to rewire our brains with happier thoughts. Okay, I’m all for it. But how? I mean, aside from faking it till we make it? Well, we’ll do both, okay? But, uh, by the rewiring our brains part, what Just have like a fun little date night.

Okay. Yeah, we’ll do something light. Something totally frivolous. And uh,

I have an idea. Don’t go too far.

Alright, dishwasher is running, trash is out, and the kitchen is clean. Oh, is there anything you can’t do? If there is, I haven’t found it yet. Okay, you know what, there is one thing you cannot do tonight, and that is cook dinner. I’m doing that, so why don’t you, uh, put on some music and pour yourself a drink?

Okay, how about I, uh, pour two drinks and keep you company while you cook? Ooh, you wanna be my sous chef? No. No. No, I’m actually gonna watch. Oh. Because, uh, you’re very easy on the eyes, Miss Vitale. Hmm. Back at you, Detective Michaels.

I don’t understand. You saw yourself? What does that mean?

I don’t know.

It was, it was me. Uh, Smiling. But, Different. Different? How? Um, It’s hard to explain. Like, I saw myself. A version of myself. And, uh, it frightened me. Well, what did Dr. Evans say about it? Uh, I didn’t tell her.

Hey, now, look at the stripes on these. Yeah, the width. Now look at those.

They are definitely not the same. No, they’re not. They’re not the bloody same. Oh my god, Xander! Oh, you are so brilliant! Nobody else would have noticed that. Except a man that’s fine for his life. And his family. Oh my god, no, let’s go see the police. Come on, what are we waiting for? Are you sure? No, I mean, of course, I never knew what I was gonna find.

I just thought, Oh my god. Yeah. Yeah, please, uh, send me all the scans. Alright. Alright, thanks a lot, man. I owe you one.

Damn, this is gonna get ugly.

Sarah! Xander? Detective, I have something you very much need to see. Yeah, well, honestly, this is not a great time. Well, this can’t wait, but it won’t take long. But why didn’t you tell Marlena what you saw? So she can help you figure out what it meant, that’s what she does. I know, I know, I know, I just, uh, I don’t know, I don’t know why I didn’t want to tell her about it.

I just wanted to get out of there and go somewhere familiar and nurse a drink, you know? Well, well, well, look at you two. Picking up right where you left off. Wow. That looks and smells amazing. I’ve just made my famous pudinesca. It’s not a complicated recipe as you saw. Well, I mean, it looked pretty complicated to me.

But honestly, I didn’t know that mincing garlic could be sexy. Until I watched you do it. Oh. Wait till you see me grate cheese. Although this time I gotta admit, admission’s not gonna be free. Oh, no? What, uh, what form of payment do you take? Oh, well we’re cashless, Commander, and our credit card machine is down, so You’re gonna have to come up with some kind of way.

Uh, I got an idea or two.

Okay, so this is my brilliant plan. Jenga. Uh, and remember, if you knock over the tower and you don’t yell, Timber, you have to drink. Uh, and I also took the liberty in ordering us your favorite, well, our favorite Pad Thai with shrimp and some of those summer rolls that look like little friendly deep sea creatures.

First, the Wendy. Sorry, I You remember what you said when we were still in the hospital? I said a lot of things. Yeah, well, this one is pretty important. So, I looked it up. I’ll just, I’ll read it. Low oxygen levels can impair both decision making abilities and judgment. Right? So, why did you look that up?

Well, I looked it up because I’m wondering if that’s why you proposed to me. And why I said yes.

Trip, is that the reason you got married?

Why we got married? No. No, it wasn’t the carbon dioxide. No, it’s uh It’s probably closer to, you know, in vino veritas. I know we weren’t drinking alcohol, but our inhibitions were lowered, and so we were saying things that we were already feeling. Just, I’ve been too afraid to say otherwise. Right. I suppose.

Wendy, I, I do not regret or take back anything that I said that night. Do you? I don’t know.

Look, when you admitted to me that even though you didn’t like that your parents put pressure on you to get married young, you did see marriage in your future.

Well because it seemed like our time was running out, I, I wanted to make that happen. For you. I wanted that for myself too, when we were in that tank, you know, losing oxygen, losing our. They are mine, so I look over at you, and I realized more than ever how much I loved you. And I love you. I just, I feel like we skipped over a few critical steps.

Like we just jumped right into wedding vows. I mean, it’s easy to say till death do us part when When you think death is just 10 minutes away

2015 Barolo 98 points Somalia’s dream And it is the most expensive bottle in the house We deserve it Hey Well, cheers to that yes and To surviving,

you know, uh, Harris, when you were in the hospital and I didn’t think you were gonna make it. I was, I was kind of beside myself, as you probably know. Yeah. There were, uh, rumors. To that effect. The rumors were true.

Because I thought I was going to lose the strongest, kindest, most loyal person I have ever known.

The best person I have ever known.

And just, being loved by you, it makes me think that

maybe I am okay. He wants to be with me.

You’re not just, okay.

How can I put this, um,

Just everything I want.

Just everything I need.

Stylish. And very cheap. See, look. See the stripe? Yeah. The stripe in the photo is thicker than that stripe. The shooter was wearing these fancy designer ones. With the ones on your desk, mine, you can get them at your local mall for less than the price of takeout. So, whoever this was, whoever set up Xander, clearly has the funds to afford designer jogging pants.

Yeah, and to put 50k in my bank account. Speaking of which, uh, do I get to keep that? Because, you know, the money’s already there, and I figure the son of a bitch owes me for everything he’s put me through. Well, that’s for the court to decide. Well, so, what do you think? This proves that Xander’s innocent, right?

Jada, I don’t understand why you have to do this. Why you have to give us a hard time. What hard time? It was a simple observation. You two are picking up right where you left off. Look, I get that you’re angry, but we are trying to figure this out. Right. Well, you have a whole lot to figure out, God knows.

There is. And Everett, I hope you don’t mind my telling Jada that you just came from therapy with Marlena. Oh, uh, no, I don’t mind anyone knowing. Very big of you. She hypnotized him. To try to access the things that he can’t remember. Right. So, what did you remember while you were under hypnosis, Bobby? Okay, you know, you don’t have to answer if you don’t, you’re not ready.

Well, I think I have a right to know, considering my life was greatly affected by the things that he can’t remember. Nope, you’re right. You do deserve to know, so, um, I’ll tell you. It’s pretty weird, and it’s probably not going to make sense to you, but, um, I saw myself, smiling.

You saw yourself smiling?

Okay, forgive me, but man, that sounds like some grade A narcissistic Bobby BS to me.

Maybe we should just go, huh? You know what? It’s okay. Alright? Jada’s anger toward me is totally justified. And I understand her skepticism about virtually everything I say. Jada, this may ring false to you, or hollow, But don’t. But, ever since we first met here, at the Brady Pub, on Valentine’s Day, virtually everything I have said to you is completely truthful.

Yeah, well, since you barely have a nodding acquaintance with the truth, Bobby, you’re right. Every word you speak does ring hollow to me. I mean, you’re, you’re claiming to not remember me. To not remember being married to me. How would you expect me to react to that? I expect you to be as upset and confused by it as I am.

And even though you, you probably think I’m, I’m, I’m inventing some, some crazy excuse for having hurt you the way that, that you say I did. But for me, not being able to remember being involved with you, much less married to you, it’s not just confusing, it’s agony. There’s no other word for it.

Maybe you could try to have a little compassion, Jada, and support him instead of condemning him. How about you do that? I’ll pass. All I can say is I am just so glad I don’t have to deal with Bobby Stein anymore. He’s all your stuff.

I will admit, I see a difference. This could be good news for you Xander. Why could it not be? It’s not what’s next. Well, we’ll get on it in the morning. Good job, you two. No, no, it was Alexander. He made this happen. Well, like I was telling Sarah earlier, I was highly motivated. I was fighting for my life and my family.

So,

Ali Horton, she was your first love?

Well, she was my first choice. Serious relationship. And before Allie? Was there anyone else? Oh yeah, there was this girl in high school I had a major crush on.

What about you? It was your first love. Was the guy Samir the skateboarding phenom? Okay, no. It was not Samir. I already told you, I was nine. So we were just best friends, that’s all. So, where’s love?

Freshman year of college. It was this guy, Cameron. We met in a cyber security elective. And, uh, we dated for a while. That was totally smitten. But then, he found someone else. And he broke it off. And, yeah, I was totally crushed at the time.

You know what? All of those relationships, all of them that fizzled out, they all led us to each other. For this moment. And I am so grateful for that.

And Wendy, if our love is real, it’ll last, right? Yeah, definitely. So how about this? We forget about the whole marriage proposal slash wedding in the beer tank and just go back to all those steps we missed. Sounds like a plan. Okay, more than in that case, Wendy Shannon. Would you like to go on a date with me tonight?

Right here. Right now.

Mm. Wow. Ava, that might’ve been the best meal I’ve ever had. Elso, uh, is that, did I say it right? That’s perfect. Mente. . Oh, I said it perfectly. Yes. No ban, but me and Mario, you know, we haven’t even had dessert. Yeah. Yeah. A lot of ideas about dessert. Oh, yeah. Mm-Hmm. . Mm-Hmm. the, uh, kind of dessert that is. Very low calorie.

Oh. Oh, you mean the kind that might actually burn calories? Yes, that kind. But first, I think a, uh, good transition to dessert would be a dance. Okay, if you recall, our first dance was here at the bistro. And, um, I do have two left feet, so Yes, I do remember that. I have a vague memory of that. But, you know, since you are perfect in every other way, I will definitely put up with those two left feet.

Mm hmm. Well, in that case, may I have this dance? Yes, you may. Oh, oh, oh.

Finally, Sarah. We have proof. Yes, because you were determined to find it, and I’m so proud of you. Sarah, I can’t tell you how much it means to me that you never died to my innocence. You, you believed me all along. God, I I love you too.

I’m sorry about that. The way Jada went after you. It’s okay. I get it. I understand why she’s angry. I mean, why would she be? Yeah, but to constantly go on the attack. Do you think Marlena could speak with her? Maybe she could Get her to empathize a little bit and understand where you’re coming from. I mean, the thing is, I don’t understand where I’m coming from or what’s going on with me, you know?

So, I think that the best thing for me and Jada is for me to stay away from her. I am. Hey, you. So, I’m thinking definitely your place tonight. How about we get out of here right now? Uh, yeah, hold on. Hold on, because, um, I’ve got some news. Can’t it wait? No. Can’t.

I just, I wish we could stay in this bubble forever. Who says we can’t? Well, we do have to make a living. Well, you thought about that, figured it out, detective me. Not so much. What are you talking about? You’re going to run this place. When are you going to reopen? Oh, I’m not. I am done with the bistro.

And now, I’d like to make a toast.

To sign language. Because of your brilliant, timely proficiency with it. Helped us get rescued. Okay, just sign language.

No, I’m sorry. I can’t do this. I can’t. It’s the smell of the beer. I just can’t. I can’t. I’m sorry. I’m the one who’s sorry. I Joey thought it was funny to send a spirit, but you know, it’s not, it’s not funny. It’s not funny at all. It obviously, it obviously triggered you very badly. I’ve been trying so hard.

To stop the images in my head. But I can’t. No, I just keep seeing us in that beer tank. I keep seeing Goldman. And then I, I remember that feeling. That feeling of not being, not being able to breathe. I can’t, I can’t, I can’t, I can’t, I can’t. Yes you can, you can. Win, you gotta home, you’re home, you’re not in danger anymore, okay.

I feel like hell, I feel like, I can’t just, I can’t just keep pretending like nothing’s wrong! I just can’t. Yes! So?

Our little angel is fast asleep. Yes. It’s so funny, isn’t it? Like, she’ll go from being wide awake and laughing and crying and just filled with baby energy, and then slowly her little eyes will start to close. When she’s laughing, which is pretty much my favorite thing that she does, she really looks and sounds like her mom.

See, and she reminds me of you in so many ways. Really? What ways? Your expressions. The way she knits her brow right before she’s about to cry, That knowing look that she gives me right before I’m gonna give her a bottle. It’s amazing, isn’t it? We made this life. This sweet, beautiful life. I’m so grateful we did.

She’s, she’s everything. And because she brought us back together. As she did. What’s that expression? Life is what happens when you’re making other plans. Well, I’m so grateful that life happened and I’m so grateful for you.

What? What do you, what do you mean you’re not going to reopen? Look, this place, it almost destroyed my life. It almost killed you and my son. No, I get, I get it. I understand. And of course I want whatever’s best for you, but you. What are you gonna do? I will figure it out. You know, I’ll find another job, a legit job, in case you were wondering.

I’m serious, Harris. I am never going back to that life. Never.

Trip. I’m so sorry, I’ve all, I’ve picked this all up and No, no, you won’t. Okay? Just Just talk to me.

It’s not right. I mean, here I am acting like I’m the only one who suffered through this whole thing, Tripp. You were there too. Wendy, you have nothing to be sorry for. Okay, not for knocking over the Jenga tower, not for anything. Okay, and I’m glad you let that out. I don’t want you bottling any of your feelings up with me.

What we went through? It’s terrifying. It’s traumatic.

If it sounded like I thought we could just move on, like it didn’t happen, that’s not what I meant. I know that’s not possible. I just thought that distraction might do us some good.

So I’m the one who’s sorry. Steph, um,

There’s something I need to tell you. You may not want to hear it, but it’s something I really need to say. Uh oh. What’s this news that I need to hear right now? I got a call recently from an old friend of mine. We were at the academy together, uh, later on. He went to law school, started a private practice just outside of Seattle.

And, um, anyway, I, uh, asked him to do some digging for me.

Well, I’m not exactly sure how to tell you this.

I don’t know what’s going on with me, but what I do know is I love you, and I believe that we can get through this. I believe there’s hope for us. I know that’s a lot to take in, given what’s, what’s been going on lately, but My feelings for you haven’t changed. I love you, Steph. You’re everything to me.

Rafe, you’re scaring me. What’s going on? Just say it. So, your divorce papers? They were never properly filed.

You’re still married to him. Legally, you are still Mrs. Robert Stein.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

I am so glad that you showed up to my door last night. I’m so glad you let me in. Yeah, well, you know you’re pretty hard to resist.

Okay, it is almost four o’clock. I think we should actually get out of bed today. Get what? Get out of bed? We already walked all the way through the living room to pick up the food that was delivered. Hmm. Yeah, that’s true.

You have somewhere else you gotta be right now? Nope.

My son is safe. My business partner You got somewhere else you’d rather be right now? Oh, definitely not.

Hey, beautiful. Hey. You look tired. I’m beat. I thought business would slow down after Easter, but it is so crazy busy. Which is great, right? Yeah. Yeah. And you know that now that mama is healthy and in remission. Thank goodness. Yes. Yes. Um, I have to start focusing on the bakery again. And, um, I’m basically here on my own right now.

I let two of my staff take off and, um, You know, they were, they were just working so much overtime while I was in the hospital. So you’re a good boss. Well, I am also a boss who’s great. Is over what? Mm-Hmm. already. I feel like I just got here. Sorry, boo. But I gotta take some bread outta the oven, but I will be here for a little while longer.

Okay.

Hey, Julie. Oh! Oh, Stephanie. Oh, honey. I’m so glad you’re here. And thank you for being willing to help. Oh, I’m honored to be asked. Well, I decided that we needed fresh young eyes on the house project. I wanted to have new life, but I still wanted to say, welcome home. I’m, I’m in. I love interior design. I watch those home makeover shows all the time.

Decades ago, and I mean decades ago, I had a small antique shop. I did a whole lot of interior design. It was always so much fun. I thought of you, I thought perhaps you could use a pleasant diversion to take your mind off a certain journalist we both know.

Everett. Hello. Sorry, um, I hope I’m not late. No. You’re right on time. I’m so glad you’ve decided to try hypnosis. I’m hoping that, uh, we can get some clarity on your past. Actually, um, I think it was a mistake coming here today.

Hey, baby. Brought you some flowers for Easter. I know they’re a little bit late. I’m sorry.

So, um, I took the kids for a Easter egg hunt on Sunday over at the Kariakis Mansion. And, um, Maggie hid all these plastic little eggs around the grounds for the kids to find. And, uh, I put these little, little candies in them.

Of course, it turned into a competition. Thomas won. Yeah. Charlotte cried. She’d have been there. It was actually kind of hilarious. But Thomas ended up sharing with her in the end. So it all, it all worked out. Yeah, we had fun. Can you believe we’re living at the Kiriakis mansion? It’s just,

it’s crazy, right? Good news is the Horton house is being renovated. So we should be, we should be back, back home soon.

I miss you so much.

I’m sorry. Um, I’m sorry.

The man who took you from us, he escaped.

And it’s all my fault.

Like sand through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.

Funny, I was lying in bed last night trying to Not to think about that certain journalist we both know. And my mind pretty randomly wandered to, of all things, that time capsule that you found and couldn’t open. I still can’t open it. And I’ve been obsessing over where is the key and what could be inside the time capsule.

And I’m afraid that key is just gone with the wind. That’s gotta be one funky key. Oh, I prefer to think of it as unique. Like my grandfather. I’m sure he wanted everyone in the family to gather and figure it out and solve it like a puzzle. Maybe you could get some ideas online. Post a picture of the box.

Use the internet, what a good idea! Oh, yes! I could help you with that! Oh, sweetie. Not now. Thank you, but not now. I’ve decided I’m not going to obsess on the time capsule. I’m going to devote all of my focus to this, to the house project,

because I know that my grandparents would want this place to, to be ready for all the generations to come.

This is all on me. It is. I mean, if I, if I hadn’t have interviewed Clyde for the, You know, I put his picture in the paper. He never would have retaliated. I

pushed him. And I, and I, you know, I put the whole thing in motion. I mean,

you know, I,

I just wanted to make him pay. For what he did to you.

You know.

Instead, he tried to kill our babies.

Our babies.

Our family. He

sent a henchman to, uh, torture our home.

That was your great grandparents house. You know, he

He spent all of your happiest days as a child there.

I let you down, baby. And I let your family down.

And now, you know, Clyde Weston escaped.

Escaped.

I’m gonna make it right.

I promise you, Abby. I will make it right.

There are a lot of misperceptions about hypnotherapy. I don’t know if you’ve read much about it. I have. Pretty good deal. I know that, uh, I’ll have access to my free will, more or less, and that, uh, I’ll remember everything afterwards. Yeah, that’s accurate. And what we try to do is access parts of your memory that maybe haven’t been available to us.

But that’s what freaks me out, Dr. Evans. I mean, part of me definitely wants to know the truth, you know? But, uh, As I told you the other time that we discussed this, Another part of me is Afraid of what I might find out. I understand. You will be right here with me. You’ll be safe. And if at any point, You don’t feel able to go on, we will stop.

Okay,

let’s give it a shot.

What are you thinking? I don’t want to ruin the mood. What? Come on, tell me.

Clyde and Goldman are still free. And we don’t know where they are or if they’re coming back. Yeah. For you. For Tripp. And Clyde really wanted his freedom, so I wanna think that he’s not gonna jeopardize showing his face around here anytime soon. Alright, listen. Clyde has a lot of things, but stupid is not one of them.

It’s true.

I’m gonna join the manhunt as soon as I can. What? Okay. Yeah. Not today. No, not today.

You know, you’re healing. You’re healing really fast. It’s like you’ve almost got all your strength back. Yeah, almost. I’m actually pretty impressed by your stamina. Well, I aim to please ma’am.

But, you know, before we get into another round, I’m kind of hungry. Should we, should we order some more food? Order? Wait, wait. You, you, you forget, sir, that I am an excellent cook. Well, no, I have not forgotten. Okay. I just didn’t want to impose. Okay. Well, no, no, no. You know, cooking is one of my greatest pleasures.

So you know what I’m gonna do? I’m gonna go in the kitchen. I’m gonna whip something up for you. Don’t move a muscle.

Okay, the front doors are locked. Good. No more customers. So you ready to go? Just about. I just have to wrap this bread. Oh, damn. What? I just got a big order for tomorrow, so, um, I’m gonna have to prep for it now. Or, maybe you could just say, sorry, no, it’s too late in the day to start a new order. No, if I do that, then tomorrow morning is just gonna be a nightmare, so I have to do it now.

But, I don’t want you to have to wait, so how about you head home, and then I will catch up with you later. Well, maybe I can help. You. You’re gonna help me bake. Well, I’m no baker, but I could follow directions, I’ll wash the dishes, tidy up. Yeah, thank you, but I can handle it. Come on, give me a shot. Look, you get some extra help, I get to spend a little extra time with my wife.

It’s a win win. Oh, okay. But do not distract me by looking at me with those big brown bedrooms. See, see, no, don’t do that. Okay, fine. Maybe I could, you know, if it helps, I could wear a flower sack over my head. Yeah, that actually might help. It’s fine. You know what? I can resist. I have willpower. Alright, come on.

Let’s get to work. Okay. That might be a little too contrasty. You hate it. Okay. Okay. What’s the bar? Oh, hey. This is me. Hang on a sec.

Oh, it’s from a potential new client, which is good. I could use the business, especially since I’m dropping the spectator. You are? Why? Well, I’m thinking about dropping it. I, I haven’t decided yet. Because of Everett? Yeah. Or Bobby. Whatever his real name is. Oh, honey. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I admit, it’s very upsetting.

And it’ll be even more upsetting if it turns out it’s true that Everett was dating me on the side while he was married to Jada. No, he wasn’t. Yes. And now she can’t stand the sight of me. Oh, it wasn’t your fault? She accused me of missing the signs. Clearly Everett was hiding something big and I chose not to see it, she says.

Now maybe she’s right. Julie, maybe Maybe I did ignore what was right there in front of me the whole time.

You’re doing just fine. With every breath, double your relaxation.

Let all the tension flow out of you.

I think you’re in a safe place now. Can you tell me where you are?

Yeah, um,

there’s a gazebo. Okay. And a stream, a brook.

Alright, are you, are you there alone? Is anybody with you? No, I’m, I’m not alone. My mother is there. Helen.

Tell me about your mother. She’s, uh, She’s wonderful.

Elegant. Strong. She, she likes to bake. She’s wearing, um, an apron. And her hands are, are, are full of flour.

Is she sitting beside you? She’s, she’s looking out at the water.

She’s smiling.

Is there anything you’d like to talk to her about? Anything you’d like to ask her? Everett?

Everett? She’s there. You can ask her right now.

Why’d you do it, Mom?

So, Mrs. DiMera, where do we start? Well, Mr. Dupree, I’m glad you asked. Okay, so, cooking is An art, so it allows for improvisation and imprecision. Kind of like making a movie. Right, right. But we are not cooking. We’re baking. Which is a science. So, it calls for a step by step process of precise amounts of ingredients, timings, and temperatures.

Oh, so you’re a scientist. I’m impressed. Why, thank you. Alright, alright. First, I would like you to preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Yes, chef. Oh, well, technically I’m not a chef. Okay, then what should I call you? I don’t know, how about wife? Or babe? I’ll go with wife.

Stephanie, you cannot blame yourself for Everett’s lies. You didn’t know what was going on. And you were devastated when you found out he’d been married to Jada. Yeah, I was. And the timing couldn’t have been worse. See, I was just starting to think that maybe Everett was the one. Again. And then everything blew up in my face.

Again. How do you feel now? I feel confused. Angry. Really angry. Actually, I’m furious. Just when I thought that I could trust him again, that we might have a happily ever after, boom, this happens. And then I feel guilty. For being mad, like, why am I being unsympathetic to what Everett’s going through? Forget Everett.

Forget Everett’s problems. Darling, this is the time when you certainly should be thinking about yourself and taking care of yourself. And you’re not alone. I mean, you got the family. Lean on us, please. I will. And when the truth comes out, and it will, And whatever it is, we’ll get you through it. Hello? Hey.

Ah, hello darling. Good to see you two here. But I didn’t expect to see you. I thought you were coming by tomorrow. Uh, yeah, no, I was, but um, uh, I was supposed to come by and check out the, uh, Thomas and Charlotte’s remodeled bedroom. Oh, right. Yeah. So it is now a good time. Wonderful. Yeah. Oh, perfect. Great.

Yeah, you go upstairs and look around and have an opinion, and then come down and share it with us, and you can help us look through all of these fabric swatches. Ooh, can’t wait.

What did you do it, mom? Why did you do it?

Everett, you’re safe.

You’re safe right now. Nobody’s going to hurt you. No. I’m not. I’m not safe. That

hits the spot right there. I’m glad. I haven’t been grocery shopping in a long time with everything going on, so, uh, It was either French toast, or egg salad sandwiches, or scrambled eggs with toast. Well, you know what? All of that sounds good compared to the hospital food that I was just eating. You know what sounds good to me right now?

Hmm? Mmm, fresh pasta. What? Yeah. Don’t tell me you’re craving my seafood linguine. Oooh. Well, that would be heaven. But, uh, Hey, you know what? We should, um, We should go over to the bistro since it’s closed now and operations were shut down. We could have a little private dinner, you and me. I mean, it’s clean, it’s fully stocked.

What do you say? That sounds like a, That sounds like a plan. Okay. Then I’m going to be the chef, and I’m going to pick out the menu. Okay. Deal. But I just want you to know that I’m a very tough food critic. Oh. Oh, I see. Okay. Well, um, let’s see. I can guarantee that it is going to be Savory. Succulent. And very satisfying.

You know, actually, um, Who needs a fancy meal When you are all of the above.

You know, sometimes I still forget that we’re married. That’s right. I mean, we didn’t have much time as newlyweds with everything that’s happened, and as magical as our night was in the Salem Inn, that does not tick off the honeymoon box in my book. Well, we could go back to Italy. I could come and do the demerit jets.

You know I can’t go to Italy right now. I know. I know. You gotta stay close to home for a while. Yeah. Yeah, but as soon as the time is right, we will definitely take that trip to Italy. But in the meantime, how about we take Sarah up on her offer for the Horton family cabin? I mean, it is secluded out there on Smith Island.

Relaxing, peaceful. Nobody else around? Just the two of us? Sounds perfect. How soon can we go? I don’t know. I was thinking drapes. But is elegance passe? Is it old fashioned? No, not at all. It can be really beautiful. The kids are gonna love the remodeled bedroom. I mean, there’s even more space than there was before.

Well, there’s no furniture in the room and no children and no toys. Oh, yeah, that’s right. No, none of that. Uh, why don’t I, uh, bring us a snack? I have tuna sandwiches and fruit in a cooler. I Sounds amazing. Okay, I’ll be right back.

So, the kids must be anxious to move back in here. Yeah, they can’t wait. I mean, the Kiriakis place has been great. And Maggie dotes on him, as you can imagine. Oh, I definitely can. So, any, um, updates on, uh, Everett or is he going by Bobby now? Actually, I met with him yesterday to talk to him about hiring a new PR firm for The Spectator.

What are you talking about? You’re terrific. You can’t leave us. Thank you, but I feel awkward staying on. I’m sure you understand. You want me to fire him, again? Don’t do that. At least not yet. Okay, well, tell me when.

Um, what do you think about the house? It’s great. Yeah, no, it’s amazing. And, uh, I mean, you know, I obviously feel responsible for everything. For the fire. And, uh, it just breaks my heart that Doug and Julie had to go through all this. But it didn’t have to happen. It wasn’t your fault, Chad. Oh, yeah, it was. My egg busted on.

I mean, I practically taunted him into doing all of this. The man’s a lunatic. It’s a monster. Everybody knows that. Okay. I still feel responsible, so what do you want me to do? You know, for the fire, for, for, uh, him escaping, you know? I know it doesn’t make any sense, but, uh, you know, I went to talk to Abby about it at her grave site, which You know, I, I, I guess saying that, you know, maybe it sounds crazy, but, uh, You know, I mean, he’s the one that took her from us, so I don’t know, maybe it isn’t, but, you know, Thanks to me, who knows what other harm he’s gonna cause.

God only knows what he’s gonna do next.

Everett, tell me what’s happening.

I know you can hear my voice. Tell me what you’re seeing.

Nothing. Just, uh, A darkness.

Okay, that’s good. That’s good. Can you find a light? Can you find your way into some light? Just I can’t. Okay,

okay, okay, that’s enough. We’re gonna end now. I’m gonna count to three and when I do, you’re gonna be wide awake. Relaxed. Refreshed. You’ll remember everything we’ve talked about. One. Two. Three. Open your eyes.

Okay. Good. You’re right here. You’re right here with me. And you’re safe.

Deborah,

would you tell me what you remembered?

I remember.

I’m sorry, um, I, I, I don’t know. All right. You said that you saw Some darkness. And something was disturbing after you saw your mother, is that right? Uh, I’m not sure. She’s kind of fuzzy. How do you feel now? A little shaky.

We made a very good start today. Clearly there’s something bothering you, something blocking you from going forward. We could deal with that in our next session. If you’d like to? Yeah. Definitely. Good. You let me know if you have any, any memories at all. I will. I, uh, I should probably get back to work. Um, just have to get going.

But, uh, thank you so much. And, uh, I’ll, I’ll set up another appointment.

I hope it helped ease your mind. Going to visit Abigail? Yeah, yeah, I did. It’s not your fault for what happened. You know that, right?

Everyone’s safe. The house is still standing. And before long it’s gonna be as good as new. Your family and your friends care about you so much. Lean on us. Okay. Thank you. And you too. I mean, I know, I know you’re going through a rough time as well, so. Here we go. Uh, Julie, I, I’m so sorry. I’ve got to run, actually.

I, I’m going to go meet that, um, new client that I mentioned. Okay, uh, sandwich for the road. And how about an apple? Love it. Thank you. Thank you. Um, keep me posted on design choices. Oh, of course. Of course I will, dear. Bye, John. See you, Steph. You

don’t look too happy. Talk to me.

It’s just, um, I’m just so sorry about the house. I mean, it’s all my fault. Julie, it’s all my fault.

Mmm.

Oh, so you don’t need a fancy meal, huh? Uh, maybe we need some nourishment. We have been burning calories. Yeah. I do so enjoy burning calories with you.

You know, I do have a feeling is that we’re going to be burning a lot more of them too. So, uh, you want to go to the bistro? Go there and just rejuvenate. Yeah, let’s do it. But I feel like I should shower first before our dinner date. I feel kind of sweaty. Yeah. Well, you know, calorie burning will do that to you.

And you know, I have been just as active as you are. So.

Ergo, I think that I need a shower too. You say, did you say ergo? I did. Mmm, I like your logic.

Wait, wait, wait, right here in the kitchen. Yeah, sure, why not? Because it’s a health violation. And you know that I’m already in the doghouse with the health department. Thanks. Okay, so we wait. We wait. Or, I have a few, uh, big, soft flower bags. Still on their pallets, in my storeroom. Uh, flower bags? Would that not also be a health code violation?

Not if we throw them out afterwards. I like the way you think.

Hey. Hey. Hi. You’re Cyd?

So, how are you? Um,

I had my first hypnosis session today. Oh, yeah? How’d that go? Uh, intense. I saw something when I was under something that scared the hell out of me.

Chad, you’ve got to let it go. I’ve made, uh, such a mess of everything, Julian, you know. Now Clyde’s free. Nobody blames you for the fire. Well, I did. For a nanosecond, but I was wrong, I was really wrong. Look at me. Chad. Say, I am not to blame for the fire. Say it. Chad! I’m not to blame for the fire. Good. And now, second, I am not responsible for the criminal actions of Clyde Weston.

Do you have to say that out loud to me, too? No. Good.

I went to see Abby today to apologize. Oh, honey. My mother struggles, Julie. You know, sometimes I, um, I think I’m doing my best to raise these kids without their mother, and then other days I feel like I’m

I’m failing. And today is one of those days. I just I miss her so much all the time. Baby, we all miss her. This isn’t something you can do alone. Don’t you know how the family loves you? Supports you and the children? Why do you think I want to build this house back up again? Because it’s, it’s something that we all have a constant in our lives.

It’s a symbol. It means, it means family. It means love. It means hope.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Oh, so

how do I look gorgeous? Oh, you didn’t even look at me. So how do you know I saw you 30 seconds ago? You were perfect then. Besides, we’re not going to a red carpet event. Yeah, yeah, I know, but the paparazzi were at the hospital when I got released. They could be there today, too. Oh, you sure I look alright?

You look lovely, as always. Somehow, I don’t think this has anything to do with your appearance. No, you’re right. It’s not. Today, I find out, of course. If I’m cancer free, dare I hope for another miracle?

There you are. Off to work already? Yes, I have an early shift. What you got there? Oh, Justin just, uh, dropped this off. It’s, uh, All the evidence against me. Prosecution has to share up the defense. There’s a flash drive in here with loads of pictures on it too, apparently. I wish I didn’t have to go in. I’d help you.

Oh, it’s alright. I know you’ll be with me in spirit. Definitely. I’m so glad we’re in this together, Sarah. It means so much to me. You believing in me. No, it’s not just me. Harris doesn’t think you shot him either. Yeah, that’s a start. Now all we have to do is find actual proof that I am innocent. Can you please just stop talking about Holly?

My God, you’re acting like she’s some kind of villain. Tate, that girl nearly destroyed your entire future. And as you very well know, there is a restraining order against you, so she shouldn’t even be calling you in the first place. Which is why she had to pose as my mother to get me to come to the phone.

Really? You’re defending that? She wanted to see how I was doing, Mom. She’s my friend and she cares about me. So will you chill the hell out? Excuse me. First of all, do not speak to me that way. And secondly, no, I’m not going to chill the hell out until you tell me why you won’t stop speaking to that spoiled little brat.

Everybody go. I just went out to make a call. Didn’t you get the memo? Party’s over. Oh, that’s okay. I was on my way out anyway. I’m, uh, going to see Tate. Leave her alone. Leave her alone, what I’m just stating a fact. Which you at least stated to get my stepdaughter upset. Can we not do this, please? I’m out of here.

Brady, wait. Don’t go yet. Why?

Mom, I’m sorry. I’m really sorry. Honey, sorry for what? What? The drugs. The drugs that I OD’d on. They were mine. I’m so sorry, I should have told everyone from the beginning. Do you think? But why now, Holly? What, did you have some sort of epiphany? Okay, don’t come down on her. Don’t expect me not to come down on her, because I’m about to, okay?

Because it’s been my son, my son who took the rap for this the whole time, my son who went to jail, my son who’s been going through hell because you decided to lie about this for weeks! Honey, is this true? The jokes are yours. You seriously don’t believe this story, do you? AJ, please! You were right, I should have told everyone sooner.

You knew about this? Eric, he could just He knew that I was upset, that something was really bothering me, so I had to tell him. I just, I couldn’t keep it in any longer. Honey, if this is true, why, why did you go to Eric and not me?

Extend through the hourglass. So are the days of our lives. I

told Eric because I was scared. I knew he wouldn’t judge me, and I was afraid that if I told you the truth, that you would blame yourself. Well, since you’re finally being honest, Holly, I trust you’ll tell us the whole story. What whole story? Well, you say that the drugs weren’t tight, so Was he your dealer?

What is, what is your problem, man? Why do you hate my son so much? Take it down a notch. Stannis. Tate had nothing to do with how I got those drugs. He told me not to take them. He warned me not to take them. Oh, please. The delinquent who was kicked out of boarding school is suddenly a saint? Elvis, we can take this right outside if you want, man.

Oh, gladly. Will, you just listen. Please. Alright, if everyone could just calm down and let her speak. Mom. Remember the other night when you and EJ came into my room while I was recovering and you thought I was asleep? Well, I overheard what you said. About how you were afraid you had been a terrible mother.

How you thought you’d been selfish and you hadn’t paid enough attention to me. And, I knew you blamed yourself when you were pregnant. With the whole accident, with my baby brother. I thought it was your fault he died. And so So I thought if you found out you had a druggie for a daughter too, on top of it all, I didn’t think you’d be able to take it.

I thought it’d be too much for you. Honey. My precious girl. Mom. I’m so sorry. Do you actually call this evil or something? Mom, she’s not a bad person, I swear. Oh yeah? Tell that to your ankle monitor. This is my fault, not hers. You’re sneaking out of here. I’m going to see her. Going to see her? Tate, you broke into the DiMera mansion, the house of the district attorney who hates your father and is out to get you.

Stop yelling. Everyone in this place can hear you. Well, you know, I don’t give a damn, because you went in jail for something that you didn’t commit, and now you’re in a halfway house for some earthly reason, all because of this girl that you are defending, who knows perfectly well how she OD’d, but claims that she can’t remember, and so now everybody hates you.

You should finally believe me. Tate, we have always believed you. From the beginning, we told you that, over and over and over, and we have been praying that that selfish That selfish little girl would just wake up and, and clean up this whole mess, and instead what does she do? She regains consciousness and she throws you under the bus.

So, so this girl that you say is a good person, I’m not buying it. Holly Jonas is bad news. She is a selfish little, little liar whom I absolutely despise with every fiber of my being. Honey,

you know you could have come to me. I’m sorry. I thought I was protecting you. So you confided in Eric. Why? Because he was a priest? Because Holly and I are close. Hold on. Hold on. It doesn’t matter who confided in who. It doesn’t matter. What matters is the here and now. That’s my son. Who’s been in a halfway house going through hell because you’ve been lying for weeks, Holly!

Brady, I’m sorry. It was a horrible mistake. One that I will regret for the rest of my life. I just wish I told the truth from the beginning. So how do we know you’re telling the truth right now? Because, because I have proof. Proof? It’s in my room. Show me.

I have a pretty heavy rotation today, so I’m going to be home a little late. It’s just so much of this. I’ll probably be stuck in the same spot when you get home from work tonight. Well, you know. Be sure to check on the wee bear every once in a while. Oh, I will definitely be peeking in on the wee bear in every 10 minutes or so, so not to worry there.

And I’ll call during my breaks to check in on my sweethearts, all right? Now, get to sleuthing. I have a very good feeling about this. I’m not going to give up until I find something. I know you will.

Oh, I could never make it as a detective. Just searching for clues all day. Needles in a haystack.

Are you done with your nap already? Oh dear. Come here, darling. It’s okay. Shh, shh, shh, shh. Yes, it’s okay. Daddy’s here, don’t you worry. And he’s not gonna let anyone send him up the river for something he didn’t do. Don’t you worry. No. I’ll make you proud of me soon enough, Victoria. That I promise. Are

you ashamed of me, Mom? Honey, how can I be ashamed of you when I know you only withheld the truth to protect me? I just, I wish you had come to me about this. I’m really sorry. I just, I didn’t want you to fall apart. I love you for that. I do, but I’m fine. I’m a lot stronger than you think. So, um, show me this proof.

Isn’t that the jewelry box you got last year at the garage sale? That’s what I told you on the way.

I don’t know what to say.

Look, we need to go downstairs and show everyone this. Right now.

Here they are. These are mine. I promise you, Tate was shocked when he saw these at the New Year’s Eve party. I even offered him some, but he wouldn’t take them. He was upset that I was going to. He tried to stop me from taking them. Holly. And yet you let my son take the blame for your overdose this whole time.

Well, you know, maybe she didn’t remember right away. Maybe she only remembered recently. Is that it, Holly? Did the coma affect your memory?

So how was the scan? Being in that tube was a very weird experience, let me tell you. Oh, thank God I’m not claustrophobic. Oh, and having to lie perfectly still for another 30 minutes. Well, that was hard for you, I’m sure. Oh, oh. Paulina? Babe, I’m sorry I kept you waiting. Oh, no, no. No problem. Oh, so, what did the oncologist, uh, have to say?

Well, uh, he was called away, but he asked me to go through your test results. Okay, so Tell us the good news.

Please, will you quit yelling at me? Oh my god, do you not understand how upsetting this is, Tate? I mean, this has been hell on all of us. Me. Me, most of all. So I don’t need you getting mad at me on top of everything else.

You’re right. You’re right. I’m sorry. I, you’re right. I should, I shouldn’t be lashing out on you. Don’t worry.

Okay, look, um. I want to tell you something. And I’m really, really hoping that you’re going to take it to heart. Is this going to be another lecture on relationships? No, no, it’s not, it’s not a lecture per se. It’s just a few words of, of wisdom. So Relationships are complicated. Yeah? And um, I know I’ve had my fair share.

share of them, and I have learned a lot. I’m sure you have, Mom. But this isn’t like when you were younger. Everything’s different now. Okay, fine, yes. Maybe we didn’t use apps back in the day, or what do you, what do you call it? When you ghost each other, or we didn’t communicate on social media, but those feelings that you get when you’re involved with somebody, they’re exactly the same.

What? And you think I don’t know that? Just let me I’m not a little boy anymore. Let me finish, please.

You know that rush? That rush that you feel when you’re involved with somebody? That’s infatuation. A crush. But guess what?

It’s exciting, but it’s temporary. It’s not the basis of a strong and healthy relationship. Not something that can last decades, like your grandparents marriage. I’m not looking for something that can last decades. Oh, I know I’m not a little kid, but I’m not middle aged. I’m not looking to get married. I know.

I know that you’re not middle aged or looking to get married, Kate. But you are ready to start thinking about relationships. And you have to understand, the key to a successful relationship is is mutual respect. And you think I don’t know that? Well, I don’t know. I think you clearly forgot that one when it comes to Holly because she clearly does not respect you or she wouldn’t have let any of those things happen.

And she doesn’t give a damn that you were falsely accused of a terrible crime or she would have come forward and told the truth. Am I wrong?

I’m sure she has her reasons for not being able to tell the truth.

There it is. Making excuses for inexcusable behavior.

Okay, well, this is turning into somewhat of a lecture now, so I am gonna just stop there and I’m gonna just keep it really simple. And I just want you to ask yourself this. Tate, look at me. Ask yourself. Do I trust Holly enough for her to be honest? Will she always have my back? Where

was I? Witness number five. I was getting in my car in front of the bistro and I heard sirens, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I thought I saw someone running away from the back. I think it was a man, but I’m not sure. It could have been a large dog. Big help. Witness number five. Now, let’s see here. Witness number six.

There were a number of homeless people in the area, probably junkies. One man was passed out against a what? What’s that got to do with anything?

I envy you, little one. Why wouldn’t give for a nap right now? But sir, No rest for the wicked. Witness number seven. I heard two gunshots and saw a man crumble to the ground. I was across the river and could barely see only figures in the shadows. Bollocks.

You’re scams. Show that you are in complete remission. There is no sign of cancer. God. Oh, for this wonderful, wonderful news. I germed up the doctor. Oh, does this mean you have to scrub up again? No, no, no, no, no. Uh, it’s totally okay. Moments like this are the best part of my job. Paulina, I am I’m so happy for you.

Oh, I’m even happier for me. Oh my gosh. Oh, well, so what’s next? I mean, I know I have to, you know, have those radioactive iodine treatments again, right? Yes. So, um, once that’s scheduled, you will be on your way. Admitted to the hospital and then you’ll be isolated for a few days and after that, you’ll have to take a couple of precautions, all of which will be explained to you in detail, and you can always look up any instructions on the hospital portal.

Oh, so, but, yeah, okay, but, uh, what about, you know, after that, when I, when I go home, um, will I still be able to have all the Bear Claws from Sweet Biz to my heart desire. Oh yeah. I can have some too, can’t I? Oh yes. And once, once your treatment is completed, you can have as many Bear Claws or anything from Sweet Biz.

It can be a healthy part of your diet. Oh, fine. Fine. Well then, eh, babe and I, oh, we’ll be, we’ll be just fine. Oh yes, we will. We’ll be just fine. We will. Oh, God bless you. No, it wasn’t the coma. I mean, yeah, at first my memory was a little bit fuzzy, but after a day or so, I remembered everything. And then because what I heard you say about blaming yourself, I lied, and I didn’t know how to take back that lie.

I mean, I was too much of a coward to take it back. Well, Holly, I’m sorry, but I’m done with the talk, okay? I don’t know if they get it, but I get it. You decided to not hurt your mother’s feelings and ruin my kid’s life instead. All right, EJ, here’s what’s gonna happen. I want you to get my kid out of that halfway house, now.

And I want all the charges dropped on him, now. You understand? It can’t happen immediately, Brady. It’ll take time. Time is something you don’t have, because if it doesn’t happen immediately, I will file a civil suit. By the way, I want an apology, EJ. A very public apology for my son. I want it in newspapers, I want it in The Spectator, I want it in skywriting!

Damn it. It’s okay, your stepfather will take care of this, it’ll be fine. Mom! No, it won’t be fine! I made such a mess out of everything! Nothing will ever be fine again! Honey. Hey, Nicole. Let her go. Let her go. It’s okay. It’s okay. How

long have you known? Um, she told me today. After christening, I just I just felt that was her place to tell you, not mine. You’re one of the few people I know who still keeps the confidence. Yeah, well, my seminary training still kicks in now and then. You know, she wasn’t going to go to the christening. But then I told her, you know, if she doesn’t go, then we’re not going to go.

I’m glad you were all there. It meant a lot to me. Yeah. Me too.

Somehow comforting. You know, I felt a little, just a little bit closer to my little boy, up in heaven. Nicole, you’re a, you’re a good mother. Well, I don’t feel like one right now. But if Holly learns from her mistakes, then It’s taken care of. Um,

for being there for Holly. Always. Hey, Jane. Hey,

you. Hi.

That was a very brave thing you did in there.

I love you, you know?

I love you, too. You know, sometimes I just wish that you and mom would

You know,

your mom and I, we’re, we’re both happily married now. Which means you have even more people. In your life, who care about you?

I’m always here for you. I know.

Oh, thank you again, dear Sarah, for getting me through this. I know I could be a handful. Oh, well, you know, maybe two handfuls. No, you are not a handful at all, Paulina. You, in fact, are my favorite patient. And not just mine. All the nurses and doctors here love being around you. You make us feel appreciated.

Oh, laughter is important, right? Especially around here. It is, it is. And make sure that you check your records online and make a follow up appointment with your oncologist. Oh, we can do that. Okay, okay, well, um, we’ll see you, dear, and um, take care. And enjoy that precious little girl of yours. I absolutely will.

And you guys take care, both of you. Okay.

Hey. Hey. Is everything okay? I’m just super frustrated. It’s like, I’ve been searching for hours, and I’m just banging my head into a brick wall over and over again. It’s like an endless maze of dead ends. You will find something, and I’ll help you as soon as I’m home. Oh, that’d be great. Thank you. Okay, I have to go do my rounds, but, um, maybe take Victoria for a jog.

Clear your head. Well, that’s a fantastic idea. It’ll give us an excuse to test out that new stroller your mum gave us. Okay, well, let me know how it goes. Kiss my girl for me. I will. Love you. I love you too. Did you hear that, little one? Mommy sends kisses. Yes. And she thinks that we should get some fresh air.

So, we’re gonna go play with your new stroller. What do you think of that, pumpkin? I’ll just get changed into my jogging clothes and Wait a minute. Rafe said that one of the witnesses described my jogging clothes. I wear them every time I run. They’re pretty distinctive.

So it’s done? EJ made the calls? That was quick. What? Um, Justin, this is really, really good news. Um, uh, let us know if we can do anything else. Okay, thank you. What’s going on? Pack your bags. Buddy, you’re coming home. What? Are you serious? Thousand percent. I’m coming home now? Today? Oh my god, I can’t believe it.

What’s it? Well, you just. It just goes home, and we just wait for what happens next? No, what happens next is going to happen tonight. Justin’s going to have someone come to the house and take that ankle monitor off. What? I don’t have to wear this stupid thing anymore? No, you don’t, because all the charges have been dropped, including the restraining order, and Justin confirmed it with EJ.

This, I, I, I just, this, this is, this is fantastic. It’s so unexpected, but why, what happened? Holly, Holly admitted it. Holly admitted that Tate had nothing to do with the overdose, that the drugs were hers, and that he even tried to stop her from taking the drugs. Oh, thank God. Finally. Son, everyone now knows that you were telling the truth all along.

Oh, wait a minute. What do we have here?

Oh my god, something, something must have

Well, that’s what I get for wearing the same tracksuit all the time. Victoria, this is it. It’s a slam dunk. Yes, yes indeed. Daddy’s gonna be a free man. Your daddy is gonna be free.

Well, my two favorite words in the world are now cancer and free. Ooh, smashed together in one sentence, of course. Oh, yeah. You know, I had a feeling. I had a feeling, but until you hear it from the doctor, I I just couldn’t rest easy. Well, I’m going to rest easy tonight. Just want to spend a cozy night at home with my husband.

Blissful and carefree. Oh, Abel, I have never, never loved a humble or bold as much as I do at this moment. Yeah, I know, I know, I gotta have to spend several days at the hospital again for that iodine treatment. But for now I’m not going to worry. Well, it’s just standard procedure. You’ll get through it with flying colors.

Oh, well, flying colors is fine. Fine with me. As long as I don’t glow in the dark. Oh, you are always glowing, my darling. Only when you’re around. E. J., what a day. Yeah.

But I am grateful for Eric helping out and encouraging Holly to be truthful. Well, she obviously loves and trusts him, which gives him credibility to me. Yeah. Yeah, Eric and Holly, they have a very special connection. So you had the charges dropped? Done deal. Okay. Thank you. I’m sure you had a steamroll over bureaucracy, and I, I know that Holly will be relieved as well.

And I’m sure she will be, since it’s obviously been weighing heavily on her, her deception. And it’s obvious that she cares about Tate a great deal. But we’ve known that for a while.

And now I’m wondering, and I’m sure you are as well, Who did she get those drugs from? Did she go off on her own looking for them? I don’t know, EJ. I don’t know. But we’re going to have to question her. Where they came from and, and who gave them to her. And not just for the obvious reasons, but because they nearly killed her.

And that would have destroyed you, I know. Yes. But now the most important thing is to support her. Help her through this very difficult time. And we will do that together. As a family.

So Holly confessed. She did. She did to me, to Eric, to her mother, even to EJ. Our lovely DA, who is probably very humbled at the moment. Yeah. Wow, I can’t believe it. Holly really came through for me. Yeah. Finally. And I’m going to call my dad as soon as we wrap up, because your grandparents are going to be very upset.

Very happy that you are coming. Let’s go out and celebrate. Bistro! Oh, no? Bad idea. Brady Pub! Better. I should call Holly. Um, why don’t you wait until you’re settled in? You know what? Don’t go overboard with thanking her. Okay? Because I’m still very, very angry with what she’s put you through. I was angry too.

But I’m not anymore. I mean, come on. She told everyone she didn’t have to I told her she didn’t have to What what do you mean? The last time Holly and I talked I Told her she didn’t have to tell the truth about the drugs to anyone Hey You’re gonna continue to let her off the hook continue to take the fall for her Why do you keep protecting her like this?

You are aware. She almost ruined your life. Please stop It’s okay. It’s over now. Okay. Okay, you’re right. Yes, it’s over. It’s over. You’ve been vindicated. I’m so gleeful. So should I start packing now? Yeah, but you should start packing right now. Man, I cannot wait to get out of this place. Oh my god. Come here.

I don’t know.
