Tripp talks about having patients at the hospital from all kinds of faith and backgrounds. Tripp says when he’s had to give bad news to someone, it seems the religious one are usually comforted by their belief in the afterlife and that God is watching over them. Wendy asks if Tripp believes that everything happens for a reason and that God is looking out for them right now. Tripp responds that he wants to believe that, especially now. Tripp can’t believe they’ve never talked about this and asks if Wendy is religious at all. Wendy talks about being taught to seek enlightenment through meditation and it was drummed in to her that life is beautiful and mysterious but also full of suffering and uncertainty, like right now. Tripp is sorry that she’s not back in China with her family but Wendy stops him and assures that she’s here because she’s in love with him. Tripp says he wouldn’t trade knowing her for anything.

Abe tells Paulina that they need more time to make new memories. Abe knows he’s being selfish and says if she’s too tired to fight, it’s okay and that they will try to get along without her as he knows that’s what she would want. Abe cries that they will take care of each other as he holds Paulina’s hand.

Wendy begins her vows to Tripp. Wendy calls him her best friend and praises his qualities. Wendy says they are friends, lovers, and now husband and wife. Wendy vows to love and cherish him as they kiss.

John and Steve are escorted back to the park in Salem. Steve says this wasn’t part of the plan while John says they shouldn’t be surprised that Ava double crossed them and that it’s just like the Chicago case.

Clyde warns Ava that if she kills him, she’ll never find Tripp. Ava responds that Clyde will live but he’ll walk real funny for awhile and won’t be able to have any more kids.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

There you are. Hey, how are you holding up?

Mom, I’m losing it, I swear. I’m barely holding on. I know. Your dad said that he spoke to Nicole. Yeah, he told me too. I was so pumped when I heard that Holly was out of her coma, but she doesn’t even remember anything from that night. Nothing. I know it’s a blow. But we are not giving up. We are going to clear your name.

God, I was so sure she was going to tell the truth, too. That I didn’t give her those drugs, that I tried to tell her not to take them. I know. But your family believes you. Well, I hope that does me now. Still stuck in here with no way out. What are we gonna do, Mom?

Hey! Welcome back. Thanks. Hey. It’s, uh, it’s good to be back. Yeah. How’s Molly? Oh, here, come on in. Yeah. Um, well, she’s very excited for your visit. Yeah. Um, she is a little upset, though. That she can’t remember anything about New Year’s Eve. So, but she is on the mend and she’s getting stronger every hour. Wow, that’s fantastic.

And how was it for you? I mean, being in Italy, were you able to get out at all? Oh, um, you know, very little. I was back and forth to the hospital and my hotel room, so. Yeah. How’s the photography business? It’s good. Great. I’m picking up, but you know what? My main focus, it’s kind of, it’s been on parenthood.

Pretty great, isn’t it? Oh yeah, it’s pretty great. I’m really happy to see you. Likewise. Never fear, Nanny McStark is here. God, I’m gonna regret this, aren’t I? Would you prefer I leave? No, no, I’m desperate for a babysitter and my last resort. I’m touched. I went through every contact in my phone. Eric’s family, the neighbors, literally no one else was available.

Well, then how lucky for you that I was footloose and fancy free. And I came prepared. See, I’ve been reading up on child rearing, and they say that bright colors stimulate cognitive development. And did you know that babies prefer high pitched voices, elongated vowels, and over enunciation? Isn’t that right, baby?

Great. Well, looks like you got it covered. Uh, if he gets hungry, there’s formula in the fridge. I am going to meet a new client. She’ll be back in a couple of hours, hopefully before Eric gets home. If you have any concerns Don’t worry, Mommy. Okay, fine. But listen, don’t forget that like a fine wine or a park avenue escort, I don’t come cheap.

You’ve been draining me dry for weeks. Cheap is never a word I’d use to describe you. That is so sweet. Mommy is a hot mess.

So where’s Clyde’s cell again? Clyde’s cell is Right here. In the watchtowers. Or right here. And right here. Okay.

Angela, tell me you’ll make this happen. Tripp doesn’t have much time.

So I can count on you? Bene, bene grazie.

Yeah, I owe you big. Ava,

sorry the situation has put you in this position. Yeah, well, so much for vowing that I’ll never work with my family again. So they’re in? Yeah, it’s taken care of. Angelo and his team will do their part. What it cost you?

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

Holly, honey, are you decent? Yeah, come in. Hey. Hello, sweetheart. Eric. Hey. Oh, I’m so glad you’re here. Me too. Just so happy to see you awake. I’m Yeah, so I’m pretty scared for a while. Yeah, I can’t believe I was out for two months. Yeah. It’s so freaky missing time like that. I bet. Yeah, I bet your mom says you’re on the mend.

You’re getting stronger all the time. Yes, she is. Sarah was here yesterday. She ran a few tests. So, our girl is on track and on her way back to normal. That’s great. Our little miracle.

What’s your plan? Theresa. Hi. And you must be Tate. I’m Sloane Peterson. Sloane has agreed to take over your case. What happened to Justin? Well, uh, as much as I’m grateful to Justin, he is knee deep right now in defending Xander Cook in attempted murder charges. So, he’ll help later, if he can. In the meantime, I’ve decided to go outside the Kiriakis family, and I want to bring you home, back to your family, where you belong, as soon as possible.

And, as your new lawyer, I’ll start by telling you, we plan to take a somewhat Novel. approach.

My family’s doing this as a one time favor. Okay, if it comes back to bite me, I’ll deal with it when the time comes. I’ve spent decades fielding demands from my family. I’m an expert at it. So let’s not get distracted. Ava called in her family because we need their help. They have the connections we need inside that prison.

That’s right. Whatever it takes, Tripp and Wendy have to be saved. Okay. Right. Okay. So, let’s just drop the topic of Angelo and his team. They’re handled. And they’re only one part of the plan. It’s up to us to take care of the rest.

Oh, here we go. Okay, um Let’s see.

Checklist for a crying baby. Step one is the child hungry. Why don’t we grab that bottle of formula mommy prepared for you, okay? Right back. Okay. Hmm. Now go, huh? All right. Okay. Step two, is the baby feverish? Uh oh. Uh oh.

98. 6, that’s perfect. Okay. Step three, does the baby have We knew this moment would come, didn’t we, soldier? Don’t you worry, I got this. And then

the cops said, I’ll take those. So I looked at my dad, he nodded for me to do it, and then I handed the drugs to her. That’s, um, that’s pretty much it. This is all very helpful, Tate. Can you remember anything else? Even some small detail you might have left out? Um, no. No, that’s everything.

Do you think you can help us, Miss Peterson? I do. But I think we should go over the challenges first. Uh, okay. Thing is, even though EJ’s case is mostly circumstantial, it doesn’t help that Tate delayed calling for help when he first found Holly unconscious, or that he initially lied to a police officer who later saw him with drugs in his hands.

But that was a mistake that he made in the heat of the moment. He was really scared and confused. He was just trying to help a girl that he has a big crush on. Shh. I understand that. The question is will the jury believe that if we go to trial?

So I have to check with the hospital about when your next exam is and schedule your physical therapy. So you two keep talking and I will be back. Okay. Do you know that I came and saw you every day at the hospital? You did? I did. I came by to pray for you. Until your mom decided to take you to, you know, Italy.

Did I look weird? No, you looked like you were sleeping. Oh. Um, uh, was there anyone else there? Of course, pretty much everyone at some point. Oh, I’ve, I’ve got a lot to catch up on. Yeah. Your mom said that you’re having trouble remembering what happened the night you overdosed. Yeah, it’s, it’s all just blank.

I don’t even remember passing out. Well, do you think that somebody slipped some drugs into your cup? Uh, um, I don’t, I don’t know. I mean, I guess that makes sense. Dancing. I didn’t watch my drink the whole time. Someone, some loser totally could have slipped something in there. I don’t know. You know, Holly, every time, um You got nervous when you were a kid.

You used to play with your hair. Oh, I didn’t spill the juice. I didn’t color on the walls. You used to be afraid to ever tell me the truth when you were nervous or thought you might get in trouble. That was a long time ago. Owie. What aren’t you telling me?

I’ve checked out the entire duct system here. It’s a go. You know, there’s also a service gate behind yard two. It’s rarely used, but it gives us less ground to cover if we can get Weston into position. Nice. Alright, where’s that list of supplies again? Here, here it is. Okay, we got uh, wire cutters, grinder, hacksaw, black tape, disguises, binoculars, cable ties.

Night vision goggles? Yeah, it’s right on here. Everything’s in order. Alright, Steven, I will handle the transportation within your field. And, uh, Angelo will have a plane prepared for immediate flight at the designated airstrip. Anything else? I think we’re ready to go. Right? Tonight we break into prison.

Okay, okay. Ah, see? That wasn’t so bad, was it? Hope for the best, prepare for the worst. That has always been my motto. Well, that and, if at first you don’t succeed, then skydiving is not for you. Okay, well, now that we’re changed and settled and looking very adorable, I might add, how about, oh, how about I rock you to sleep?

You ready for a little shut eye, huh? Okay. Uh, well I don’t see a rocking chair, so how about I walk you to sleep? And I could tell you a story. Would you like that? Okay, I take that little wrinkled nose as a yes. Um, so it was a dark and stormy night. No, you’re right, that’s too scary. Why don’t we go a different route?

Once upon a time, a very handsome little prince was born along the side of the road. And he was delivered by his very godfather, none other than yours truly. And for the briefest of moments, his mother got to hold him very lovingly in her arms. And then, a tall, handsome German god swooped in and took him away, bound for the hospital.

Or so we thought. Instead, they were waylaid by an evil, nasty, bottle blonde, wicked witch. Okay, that’s not fair. We don’t know for sure that she’s a bottle blonde.

How does the story end, you ask?

I don’t know.

But so far it’s not looking good.

But the little prince,

He is always going to be protected from poison apples. Because that’s my job. Okay. What? What

is that? Are you smiling at me?

Well, that warms my heart.

Yeah, that really warms my heart.

Eric, New Year’s Eve, that night,

It’s all just a blur. I really wish I could remember what happened.

Um, hey, how’s Jude doing? I’m sure he’s a lot bigger since Christmas. Yeah, yeah he is. He’s actually holding his head up. And he’s sleeping through the night while we waste most of the time. Got any new pictures? Of course I do. I just shot these the other day when he was having a little tummy time. Oh my gosh, he’s so cute.

Yeah. Look at those little cheeks. Yeah. Oh, he’s adorable. Oh, oh, oh, oh my goodness, he’s so precious. Definitely a keeper. Yes, he is. Wait till you see him at the christening. When is it? Will I be well enough? Well, we held off until you were both back in Salem and you were awake. Oh my gosh. Your mom said she wanted you both to be there.

Well, that was thoughtful. Well, Holly, I mean, if your doctors say it’s fine, then yes, of course you can come if you’re feeling up for it. Oh, I’ll be more than up for it. Oh. I can’t wait. Well, like I said, I haven’t made an official date yet, but it’s going to be a small family gathering at St. Luke’s, and then we’re going to have the reception at Brady’s Pub.

Oh. Yeah. You know, I have an idea. What if we have the reception here? I would love to host it. Oh, thanks for the offer, but it’s too much to ask. Well, you, you didn’t ask. And, um, hello? Are you kidding? I would love to do it for you. Especially since you saved the date for us. Really, the, the pub is fine. To be honest, I just don’t think someone would be on board.

Are you sure? I mean, look, you’re both parenting and working full time. It would be a huge load off of her and you if someone else planned it, right? And besides, closing the pub would take away business for Roman, so She’s right. I am. It’d be really cool if you had it here, Eric. It would. And look, Holly’s still recovering, so it’d be better if it were here.

And then she’s not running from the church to the pub and the, you know, the whole thing. Of course, it is totally up to you, but I would really love to do this for you. And, you know, maybe it’ll help make things right between Sloane and me.

Okay. It’s a great offer. Thank you. I’ll let Sloane know. Wait, do you think we’re gonna have to go to trial? No, no, that can’t be. This is not gonna go to trial, right Sloane? Well, that’s my hope. Um, but as we all know, EJ is DA. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve taken him on many times before, and beaten him, and negotiated some kick ass plea deals.

But, this case is personal to him. But my dad said that Holly’s awake now, we just need to get her to tell the truth. But, you said that she doesn’t remember the truth. The bottom line is, it’s going to be very hard to prove your innocence unless, She admits the drugs were hers. If we go to trial, I’ll depose her, of course, and try to get the truth out of her.

Yes, that’s good. Let’s go after her. Go after her? Mom, she’s my friend. Really? Would a friend let you go down for a crime that you didn’t commit? I’m gonna pursue every angle I can, but I do think we should consider another option. What might that be? Going to trial is a long, arduous process with no guarantee of the outcome.

I could arrange a plea deal and you would get a light sentence tape or possibly even time served. Before you know it, you’d be free to go home. No, that’s BS. I don’t want a plea deal or a light sentence. I didn’t do anything wrong. I tried to stop Holly from taking those pills. I am totally innocent. Don’t you get that?

All right. We are out of here. I’ll pick up any other supplies we might need. And I’ll get the unmarked vehicle to transport Weston to the airport. Okay, great. And I’ll meet you both at the airfield. Right. Oh, John, remember, we have to stop by the office and pick up that special equipment. Oh, yeah, well, we might just need our old pal Rico’s basement again.

Oh, yeah. Wait, wait, a minute. Special equipment, basement. What are you two talking about? It’s just everything we need to interrogate Weston about Tripp and Wendy’s location. So we’re gonna make it look like we’re busting, busting out and getting into the airfield? Yeah, but in reality, that’s not gonna happen.

We’re not gonna let him go. Oh, like hell we’re not.

H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y M Z. Now I know my ABC’s. Uh! Next time won’t you rap with me? Check it! That’s impressive. Did you daddy’s home? Uh, you alone? Where’s my wife? She’s out with a client. So you’re babysitting? Word. Son didn’t tell me she called you. I would have known. I would have been here with him.

Well, if it’ll ease your mind, he has been fed, burped, changed, entertained, washed, rinsed, repeat. And check this. Peek a boo! Are you laughing at him? Or his outfit. Hey, now. No, no, I’m sorry. You just, you, you two seem to belong. Yeah. We’ve got a connection. I felt it ever since he came into my life. Quite a special little boy you’ve got.

Couldn’t agree more.

Okay, so I’m thinking of a cold buffet bar that way people can snack since they’ll be popping in and out. Yes, oh, and we should do those, um, those individual cakes too, you know, like the bite sized ones. Yes, with a little blue icing. Mom, that whole pink blue thing is so last century. Okay. And, hey, I will be in charge of music playlists.

Because if you do it, we’ll end up with a three hour Billy Joel medley or something. I had one Billy Joel CD growing up. You will not let me live that down. Besides, Piano Man was the most amazing song ever. All his songs were, actually. If you say so. I do say so. Oh gosh, it’s going to be so great to have a celebration here.

Since there’s been so much sadness lately. Yeah, there has. So Aren’t those pictures of Jude just adorable? Mom, try not to go there, okay?

I know, honey. It’s just that sometimes those feelings just come flooding back, thinking about your little brother and, and what happened to you. I’m here. I’m back now. Thank God. Because I don’t know what I would have done if I lost you, my precious girl. I don’t know what I would have done.

Okay, so I’m going to go make a call to get the ball rolling. Mom, I don’t get it. Why do I have to plead guilty when I’m innocent? Tate, it’s to get you out of this mess. It’s a tactic, okay, to get you home sooner. We don’t know if EJ’s gonna drag this out for the long haul. It’s, it’s a guarantee of a light sentence.

But Holly could come around. She could tell the truth when she remembers.

Honey, we don’t know if, if that’s gonna happen. And we can’t wait around for that possibility. So we just need to do whatever is best to make sure we can get you out of here. Does Holly even know where I am? Does she know that I was arrested and then beat up in jail and then shoved into a halfway house?

I don’t know. I don’t know, but I will find out for you. Yes? Can I talk to you for a second? Sure.

I’ll be meeting with the judge soon to file a formal complaint against EJ. Hopefully I can get him removed from the case due to bias and non objectivity. That would be great. It’s a long shot, but there’s a chance the judge will see it our way. EJ seems to have some really strong pull with the judges.

I’m aware. We’ll know soon enough how the complaint pans out, but in the meantime, I need Tate to stay mentally sharp and focused in case this goes to trial. You two think you’re gonna double cross Clyde Weston? Do you have any idea how insane that is? Steve, how could you even think of risking our son’s safety like this?

I’m doing it for his safety. Look, we’re taking all this risk to break that maniac out of prison. So what if he takes off and he doesn’t give us Tripp back? That is a risk I’m not willing to take. So we’re going to hold Clyde’s feet to the fire for as long as it takes until he coughs up Tripp and Wendy’s location.

That’s the only way this is going to work. You are out of your mind. Do you realize that? Look, Clyde may play the country bumpkin, but he is sharp as a tack and he knows what he is doing. Look at his track record since he has been in prison. A police detective has already been gunned down. He set the fire at the Horton House.

And he is scattering drugs all over this town with the force of a Texas tornado. We know what we’re dealing with, Ava. Oh, do you? Do you really? Yes, yes. Okay, well then you know that he’s already broken in here and he is watching us. You know, he could be listening to us right now. I swept the place for bugs when I first came in and it was clean.

And with our training, no one, you know. Is ever going to follow us to the rendezvous point. Okay, well that is not enough. Don’t you get it? Clyde Weston will find a way to royally screw us if we don’t do exactly what he wants. If we defy him in any way, he is going to seek revenge and it’s going to be tragic.

So I’m begging you, please, please, just let him go. Steve, it is the price we are gonna have to pay to save our son. Ava,

I know that Clyde’s been doing a number on you lately, and you’ve been on pins and needles for months. You’re not thinking clearly. Oh, screw you, Steve. I’m thinking just fine. Okay, all I mean is that you’ve been under pressure, okay? But we can’t let Clyde Weston go. I know. Especially not after everything he’s done to half the people in this town.

Steve’s right, Ava. Can’t let a career criminal like Weston go free. We had to alter the plan. Oh yeah, and with no surprise, you two are in cahoots behind my back. Okay, so now you know everything, all right? So we’re gonna do the plan exactly as it was laid out. But when we get to the airfield, we’re gonna make it clear to Weston that either he gives up Tripp and Wendy’s location, or the night is gonna end very badly for him.

Trust us. Weston is never going to know what even hit him. Oh, honey, I, I should be talking to my therapist about this. Not my beautiful daughter who’s recently been through enough as it is. Oh, it’s okay, mom. I know how hard it was for you to lose the baby. And then what happened to me? I mean, you’ve been through a lot too.

It definitely was a lot. Not just watching you lie there so still day after day. I just, I didn’t know if you were going to come back to us or if you would ever talk again or, or, or be yourself. God, and then I thought, what if you woke up and you didn’t remember anything? Like, with Eve. And Paulina, I mean, what if you, you didn’t remember all of our good times and, and the tea parties we had when you were a little girl and, and the forts we made with the couch cushions and looking for frogs on our nature walks.

I remember all of those things.

And then I’m very grateful for honey.

And I’m also grateful for all the support that I had because if it weren’t for EJ and, and Eric, I don’t know what I would have done.

I really did lean on that baby. Mom, you are so strong all on your own. Don’t forget that. You’re a survivor. Oh, me? Yes, so are you. I mean, look at you, my little fighter. Um, yeah. Well, I’d really like to not think about New Year’s Eve anymore and the party, what happened, or at least, you know, not talk about it as much.

Okay, Annie, I understand. So we will just, we will leave the past where it belongs, okay? And we’ll just focus on this baby bash, yeah?

This has been so hard on Tate. Emotionally. It’s been rough on the whole family, obviously. As for me, I um, I fell off the wagon. It was just a one time slip. And it was demoralizing. To say the least. Anyway, now I’m completely committed to my sobriety. And all I care about is just being there for my son. And I do not want this nightmare to permanently damage his psyche or mess up his future.

I get it. I, brother Colin is locked up in prison right now. Well, because of his thirst for revenge and unlike Tate, he was guilty, but. I still wish I could have saved him from the mistakes he made. Anyway, I can’t guarantee what the outcome will be for your son, but I promise I will do everything I can to help.

Thank you so much. I get the sense he’s a good kid. He is. Let’s do everything we can to take him home.

Okay. I’ll see you tomorrow. All right? I’m going to let you know what Sloan finds out from the judge. Okay. Hey. Hey, don’t be upset about Holly. Okay? You need to stay positive. You know how many people you have backing you in your corner? Don’t give up. Don’t worry. I will never give up. That’s my boy. Love you.

Love you.

You know, I was about 14 months when I started walking. My twin sister Sammy, she was a little bit more ahead of me. And, uh, she started running around the house and nobody could keep up with her. I’m pretty sure I skipped walking and went straight to running. Away from my mother in terror. You’re home! Hey!

Uh, Eric, I couldn’t find anyone to babysit. I, I just And you found Leo. Who’s been doing a wonderful job. You even got him to smile and laugh. That’s great! I think he remembers me. Well, since we’re both home, uh, Leo, you can head out. Um, I’ll just pay you. Oh, no, no, no. He can stick around if he wants. I mean, we don’t have any plans.

I’m sure he has plans. Nope. Free as a bird. Super. I’m gonna get a glass of wine. Oh, yes, please. Hey, honey, by the way, um, Nicole, well, she offered to host a little after party at the DiMera mansion. Yeah, it’s kind of her way of extending an old friendship. O M G, Nicole is just the sweetest. And the DiMera mansion, what a perfect venue.

Fine. We’ll do it your way. I just want my son back. And once he is home and he is safe. I don’t give a damn what happens to Clyde. We have everything we need to deal with him, Ava. I assure you. But first, we have got a prison to break into. I’m ready. Let’s move it. Okay. We’ll be in touch within the hour.

Alright, password should be my birthday. I want to think about changing that, mom. I’m in. What? Crap, I don’t know Holly’s number. I don’t know anyone’s number. Oh, she’s got a contact. Damn, she’s got a contact list. Um, So familiar. Okay, so we will do finger sandwiches, um, and pasta salad. Rolls. Rolls, yes, great idea.

And petite fours. Must haves. Oh, and hey, maybe we can do, like, little candle party favors with Jude’s name on them. Yes, that’s a great idea. Okay, I’ll let you look into that. I think Sloan and Eric are gonna love this. I can’t wait. Uh, so listen, I’m gonna go out and hunt down those petite fours, and then we’ll talk to Cook when I get back.

Do you need anything while I’m out? Okay, well, text me if you think of anything, okay?

Theresa Donovan? Why the heck is Tate’s mother sliding in my DMs? Sorry lady, no time for you. I’ve got a party to plan.

Update written by Joseph

Theresa goes to visit Tate and asks how he’s holding up. Tate swears that he’s barely holding on. Theresa mentions hearing that Brady spoke to Nicole. Tate complains about Holly not remembering anything from that night. Theresa encourages that they are not giving up and will clear his name. Tate was so sure that Holly would tell the truth that he did not give her those drugs. Theresa points out that his family believes him. Tate complains that he’s still stuck here with no way out and asks what he’s going to do. Theresa responds that she has a plan.

Eric goes to the DiMera Mansion where Nicole answers the door. Eric welcomes her back and hugs her. Eric asks about Holly. Nicole says she’s very excited for his visit but notes that she’s a little upset that she can’t remember anything about New Year’s Eve. Nicole adds that Holly is on the mend and getting stronger every hour. Eric calls that fantastic and asks how Italy was for her. Nicole says she was mostly back and forth between the hospital and her hotel room. Nicole asks about his photography business. Eric says it’s great and picking up but his main focus has been on parenthood. Eric tells Nicole that he’s really happy to see her.

Leo goes to Sloan’s apartment. Sloan says she’s going to regret this but she’s desperate for a babysitter and he’s her last resort. Sloan says she went through every contact in her phone, Eric’s family, and the neighbors but no one else was available. Leo talks about coming prepared. Sloan says she’s going to meet a new client and will hopefully be back in a few hours before Eric gets home. Leo reminds her that he doesn’t work cheap. Sloan remarks that he’s been draining her dry for weeks as she then exits.

John and Steve go over a map of the prison as Ava calls her cousin Angelo, asking if he can make this happen as Tripp doesn’t have much time. Ava says she owes him big as she hangs up. John tells Ava that he’s sorry this situation has put her in this position. Ava says so much for vowing to never work with her family again. Steve asks if they are in then. Ava confirms that Angelo and his team will do their part. Steve asks what it cost her.

Nicole brings Eric to see Holly. Holly excitedly hugs him and says she’s so glad he’s there. Eric says he’s so happy to see her awake as they were pretty scared for awhile. Holly can’t believe she was out for two months. Eric encourages her being on the mend. Nicole says Sarah ran tests, so Holly is on track. Eric calls her their little miracle.

Tate asks what Theresa’s plan is. Sloan arrives and introduces herself to Tate. Theresa reveals that Sloan has agreed to take over Tate’s case. Tate asks what happened to Justin. Theresa says that Justin is knee deep in defending Xander from attempted murder charges and he’ll help later if he can so she went outside of the Kiriakis family because she wants to get Tate home to his family where he belong as soon as possible. Sloan states that they plan to take a somewhat novel approach.

Ava says her family is doing this as a one time favor, but if it comes back to bite her, she’ll deal with it when the time comes. John says they need the connections to get inside the prison. Steve declares that whatever it takes, Tripp and Wendy have to be saved. Ava says that Angelo and the family are only one part of the plan while it’s up to them to take care of the rest.

Jude wakes up crying so Leo goes to get the bottle of formula to feed him but that doesn’t work so Leo takes his temperature and finds that he is fine. Leo then realizes he may have to change the diaper.

Tate tells Sloan everything that happened on New Year’s Eve. She asks if he can remember any small detail that he may have left out but Tate assures that’s everything. Theresa asks if Sloan thinks she can help. Sloan says she does but thinks they should go over the challenges first. Sloan says that EJ’s case is multi-circumstantial but it doesn’t help that Tate delayed calling for help or lied to a police officer at first. Theresa argues that Tate was scared, confused, and just trying to help Holly. Sloan says she understands but the question is if the jury will understand if it goes to trial.

Nicole says she has to go schedule Holly’s next appointment and tells Holly and Eric to keep talking as she exits the room. Eric tells Holly about visiting her in the hospital every day and praying until Nicole took her to Italy. Holly asks if anyone else was there. Eric says there was pretty much everyone at some point. Holly feels she has a lot to catch up on. Eric brings up Nicole saying she’s having trouble remembering what happened on the night she overdosed. Holly confirms that. Eric asks if she thinks maybe someone slipped drugs in her cup. Holly supposes it’s possible but claims she doesn’t know. Eric points out that Holly would play with her hair when she got nervous or afraid that she might get in trouble. Holly calls that a long time ago. Eric questions what Holly isn’t telling him.

John, Steve, and Ava go over the prison map. Ava goes over their list of supplies and says everything is in order. John says he and Steve will handle transportation. Ava adds that Angelo will have a plane prepared for immediate flight. Steve thinks they are ready to go. Ava declares that tonight, they break in to prison.

Leo successfully changes Jude’s diaper and then picks him up to rock him to sleep while telling him a story. Leo tells the story of delivering Jude on the side of the road and how his mother got to hold him briefly. Leo says he doesn’t know how the story ends but assures that Jude will always be protected. Leo gets emotional at Jude smiling.

Holly tells Eric that New Year’s Eve is all just a blur and she really wishes she could remember what happened. Holly asks how Jude is doing. Eric shows her some pictures as Nicole rejoins them. Eric mentions Jude’s upcoming Christening and wanting Holly and Nicole to both be there. Nicole says if Holly’s doctors say it’s fine then she can come. Holly assures that she can’t wait. Eric says he hasn’t made an official date yet but it will be a small family gathering with a reception at the Brady Pub. Nicole offers to hold the reception here at the DiMera Mansion. Eric feels it’s too much to ask but Nicole insists that she’d love to, especially since he held the date for them. Eric says the Pub is fine but Nicole and Holly disagree. Eric then admits that he doesn’t think Sloan would be on board. Nicole asks if he’s sure, arguing that they are both parenting and working full time so it would be a huge load off for someone else to plan it. Nicole adds that closing the Pub would take away business from Roman. Holly insists it would be really cool to hold it here. Nicole adds that Holly wouldn’t have to leave home while recovering and insists that she would really like to do this for him. Nicole suggests maybe it could help make things right between her and Sloan. Eric then agrees that it’s a great offer and he will let Sloan know.

Tate questions if Sloan thinks this is going to trial. Theresa argues that it cannot go to trial. Sloan says that’s her hope but EJ is district attorney. Sloan says she’s beaten EJ before and negotiated plea deal but this case is personal to him. Tate argues that they just need to get Holly to tell the truth. Sloan says it will be very hard to prove Tate’s innocence unless Holly admits it was her drugs. Theresa encourages going after Holly for that but Tate argues that she is his friend. Theresa questions if a friend would let him go down for a crime he didn’t commit. Sloan says she will pursue every angle but does think they should consider another option which Theresa questions. Sloan suggests she could offer a plea deal which could be a light sentence and before he knows it, he’d be free to go home. Tate argues that he doesn’t want a plea deal or a light sentence because he did nothing wrong and tried to stop Holly from doing drugs.

John and Steve decide it’s time to go. John says he will get the supplies while Steve says he will get the unmarked vehicle to transport Clyde out of prison. Ava says she will meet them at the airfield. Steve reminds John that they need to stop by the office for that special equipment which Ava questions. Steve says it’s everything they need to interrogate Clyde about Tripp and Wendy’s location. John says they will make it look like they are busting Clyde out but Steve reveals they’re not really going to let him go which Ava disagrees with.

Leo dresses up as a rapper and raps the ABCs for Jude. Eric comes home and applauds him. Eric asks if he’s alone and where Sloan is. Leo informs him that she’s out with a client. Eric realizes that Leo is babysitting and reveals that Sloan didn’t tell him that she called Leo or else he would’ve been there. Leo assures Eric that Jude has been fed, burped, and changed. Jude laughs which Eric acknowledges as Leo says they’ve had a connection ever since he came in to his life. Leo tells Eric that he has a special baby boy.

Nicole and Holly plan the reception for Jude’s Christening. Holly says she will be in charge of music, joking about Nicole being a Billy Joel fan. Nicole says it will be so great to have a celebration since there’s been so much sadness lately. Nicole talks about Eric’s pictures of Jude being adorable. Holly tells her to try not to go there. Nicole says sometimes those feelings come flooding back about what happened to her little brother and to Holly. Holly says she’s back now. Nicole cries that she doesn’t know what she would’ve done if she lost her as they hug.

Theresa tells Tate that Sloan went to make a call to get the ball rolling. Tate doesn’t get why they have to plea guilty when he’s innocent. Theresa calls it a tactic to get him out sooner because EJ will drag this out. Tate argues that Holly could come around and tell the truth when she remembers. Theresa says they don’t know if that’s going to happen and they can’t wait around for the possibility so they have to do whatever is best to get him out. Tate questions if Holly even knows where he is or that he was arrested, beat up in jail, and then shoved in to a halfway house. Theresa admits she doesn’t know but she will find out. Sloan then comes back and asks to speak with Theresa. When Theresa steps aside with Sloan, Tate notices that she left her phone behind. Sloan informs Theresa that she will be filing a formal complaint with the judge to try to get EJ removed from the case due to bias and not being objective. Theresa says that would be great. Sloan admits it’s a long shot but there’s a chance. Theresa comments on EJ seeming to have a strong pull with the judges. Sloan says she will need Tate to stay strong and sharp in case this goes to trial.

Ava asks if John and Steve have any idea how insane it is to try and double cross Clyde Weston. Ava questions how Steve could even think of risking Tripp’s safety like this. Steve argues that he’s doing it for Tripp’s safety. Steve asks what if Clyde takes off and doesn’t give Tripp back. Steve says he is not willing to take that risk so they will hold Clyde’s feet to the fire until he gives up Tripp’s location as that’s the only way this is going to work. Ava tells Steve that he’s out of his mind. Ava argues that Clyde is sharp as a tack and knows what he’s doing. Ava brings up Clyde’s track record since being in prison including a police detective being gunned down, the fire at the Horton house, and scattering drugs around town. Steve insists that they know what they are dealing with. Ava reminds him that Clyde has already broken in and could be listening to them right now. John says he swept the place for bugs when they first came in and assure that with their training, no one will follow them. Ava feels that’s not enough. Ava argues that Clyde will find a way to screw them if they don’t do exactly what he wants. Ava worries that if they defy Clyde in any way, he will seek revenge. Ava asks them to please just let Clyde go. Ava declares it’s the price they have to pay to save Tripp. Steve knows Clyde has been doing a number on her lately and she’s been on pins and needles for months but feels she’s not thinking clearly because she’s been under pressure. Steve argues that they can’t let Clyde go after everything he’s done to half the people in town. John agrees that they can’t let Clyde go free and had to alter the plan. Ava accuses them of being in cahoots behind her back. Steve says they will do the plan as they laid out but when they get to the airfield, they will let Clyde know that he will have to let Tripp go or the night will end very bad. John insists that Clyde won’t know what hit him.

Nicole tells Holly that she should be talking to her therapist about this instead of her since Holly’s been through enough as it is. Holly says it’s okay as she knows how hard it’s been and that Nicole has been through a lot too. Nicole talks about watching Holly in a coma every day and not knowing if she would come back to them. Nicole admits she worried about Holly not remembering anything like Abe. Nicole is grateful for all the support from EJ and Eric, saying she really leaned on them. Holly encourages that Nicole is a strong survivor all on her own. Holly states that she’d really like to not think about New Year’s Eve and what happened at the party anymore. Nicole understands and says they will leave the past where it belongs.

Theresa tells Sloan that this has been so hard on Tate, emotionally and rough for the whole family Theresa informs Sloan that she fell off the wagon but now she’s committed to her sobriety and all she cares about is being there for her son, so she doesn’t want this to damage him or mess up his future. Sloan relates to her brother Colin being locked up in prison and even though he was guilty, she still wishes she could’ve saved him from the mistakes he made. Sloan can’t guarantee the outcome for Tate but promises to do everything she can to help. Theresa thanks her. Sloan senses that Tate is a good kid and agrees to do everything they can to get him home. Tate then steals Theresa’s phone from the table while they are talking. Theresa tells Tate that she’ll see him tomorrow and let him know what Sloan finds out from the judge. Theresa encourages Tate not to be upset about Holly and to stay positive. Tate assures that he will never give up. Theresa then takes her purse and exits.

Eric talks to Leo about when he was a baby as Sloan then comes home. Sloan starts to explain to Eric but Eric says he understands Leo was babysitting and actually did a great job, getting Jude to smile and laugh. Leo thinks Jude remembers him. Sloan says that’s great but notes that they are both home now so Leo can go and she’ll just pay him but Eric suggests Leo can stick around since they don’t have any plans. Sloan says she’s sure Leo has plans but Leo says he’s free so Sloan decides she’ll get a glass of wine. Eric informs Sloan that Nicole offered to host an after party at the DiMera Mansion as an olive branch. Leo calls Nicole the sweetest and says the DiMera Mansion is the perfect venue.

Ava agrees to do it Steve and John’s way, deciding she just wants her son back and then doesn’t give a damn what happens to Clyde. Steve assures they have everything they need to handle Clyde. John declares that first, they have a prison to break in to. Steve tells Ava that they will be in touch within the hour. Steve and John then exit.

Tate pulls out Theresa’s phone and unlocks it, using his birthday as her password. Tate realizes that he doesn’t know Holly’s number and decides to try social media.

Nicole and Holly continue to plan the reception. Nicole thinks Sloan and Eric will love it and she can’t wait. Nicole says she will go get what they need and tells Holly to text her if she needs anything. Nicole then exits. Holly gets a notification on her phone and questions why Theresa would be sliding in her DMs. Holly says to herself that she has no time for her as she has a party to plan and then exits the room.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

We’re back. Shh. Shh. Sorry. How is she?

She’s not good.

Okay. Okay. So my mom and my dad and Kayla, they have to be looking for us, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. Okay. But how long will they know that we’re here?

How long until we run out of oxygen? Actually, BGU isn’t burning out of oxygen, per se. In an airless, enclosed space like this, the danger is more, uh More what? Tell me. It’s the carbon dioxide. A 1 percent concentration is mildly toxic, and once it reaches 10%, it’s I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have said anything.

No, I want to know. If there’s a chance of us dying. I want to know.

There she comes. All right, it’s time to roll. Jig out, this has to work.

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

How’s her breathing? It’s labored.

Doctors were here earlier. There’s no change. And there’s no update on a possible heart transplant.

Why don’t you go and get some rest? You’re next. We can stay here with mama. Yeah, we won’t leave her side, we promise. Maybe, maybe later. Hey, you look exhausted. You need sleep. I’m fine, I’m fine, I’m fine. I want to be here when she wakes up. Okay, if you’re sure. I’m sure, sure.

Doctors.

Doctors say she’s running out of time.

But you know, there are thousands of other people who are waiting for a heart transplant too. Yeah, yeah, that’s right, but, but even still, we can’t give up hope, right? Right. We’re not giving up.

Okay, we should, we should, we should minimize our physical activity, okay? Try to make the, try to make the oxygen last as long as possible. Okay. Okay. I’m moving around. That increases oxygen consumption, right? Yeah, it does. And we should, we should take slow, shallow breaths. Okay, got it.

You’re being so brave. You can take your makeup, remember? Right, right. Okay. Okay, how’s this?

I’m not scared. I know we’ll be okay. And even if we’re not, I’ll deal with it. Because I’m with the man I love. Who has never loved you more than he does right now. Tripp. Yeah?

Do you believe in God? Uh?

Oh,

Uh, well, my mother was raised Catholic. It runs pretty deep in her family. I’m asking about you.

I’ve had patients, uh, and their families come in to the hospital from all kinds of faiths and backgrounds. And, uh, when I’ve had to give bad news to someone, they’re Well, it seems that the religious ones are usually comforted by their belief in an afterlife. Their belief that God is watching over them.

That everything happens for a reason. But do you believe that, Tripp? That everything happens for a reason? That God is looking out for us right now? I, I, I, I wouldn’t. To believe that, especially now.

You know, I can’t believe we’ve never talked about this, but are you religious at all? Uh, what I was taught growing up was to seek enlightenment through meditation. And it was also turned into me that life is beautiful and mysterious.

But it’s also full of suffering and uncertainty. Like right now. Wendy, I’m so sorry. If it weren’t for me, you’d be in China right now with your family. Stop. Okay, enough with the guilt, Tripp. I’m here because we fell in love. Because I love you, Tripp Johnson. And if I had to choose between Living a hundred years, not knowing you.

And falling in love with you. Being with you, right here, in this tomb.

I’d pick the tomb. I wouldn’t trade knowing you for anything, either.

You know, maybe we should, uh, Maybe we should write messages to our family, just in case. There’s, there’s nothing right on here. The width is just I’m just gonna have to We’re just gonna have to trust that they know that we were thinking of them. And love them. But my parents I mean, they, they already lost Lee.

So I’m their only child now and I just, I’m, I’m so scared that they, they’re not gonna be able to deal with it.

You’re your mom’s only child too. Yeah, yeah I am.

She’s already been through so much, after losing her other son.

I pray,

and right now I have to admit I’m feeling pretty religious. So right now I think that we should both pray to God that our parents don’t have to, don’t have to suffer any more than they already have. I

gotta tell you boys, this is a brilliant plan. Shut up.

Mama, what can we do? How can we help?

I need to talk to your, your dad. Okay, we’ll go grab coffee.

Take as much time as you need, okay? Yes, darling? What is it? Abraham. I’m here. I’m here, son.

I feel myself slipping away. No, no, no. You can’t talk like that. You can’t talk like that. We only think positively. I won’t let you go. I won’t. I want to thank you for giving me the. For the best years of my life. Sweetheart, I love you. I love you so much. Promise me. Anything. Anything. Take care of my girls.

I promise.

I promise. I will look out for Lani and Chanel and I’ll Eli and Johnny and Jules and Carver. I won’t let you down. Ty So Ty

I just remembered, I’m supposed to go to the dentist tomorrow.

God, I was dreading it, and now what I wouldn’t give to, to keep that appointment.

I thought I I took everything for granted. Me

too. All this time my dad asked me to come over to watch the ball game, and I was, I’m too tired, I have to work, you know, some other time. Then, then Joey’s been texting me, he wanted me to come out and visit him in Seattle, you know, have some bro time, and I, I shook on it. You, you flew out to him when he was in that accident last year.

I know, I know, and I’m so glad I did that. You were such a good brother, Tripp. No. I’m not such a great son either. I mean, I mean, my mom, she’s always, she’s always wanted to hug on me and kiss me, and I, I, I’m, I’m a grown man. I thought, I thought she was babying me, and why, why, you know, why would I push her away like that?

Is that what she’s gonna remember of me? No. No, of course not. You were so good to your mom, Tripp. That’s what she’ll remember. That you were always kind and caring to her. I could have done better. Well, we all could have, right? I mean, like me, my, my parents, they’re old school and they wanted me to get married young and have kids.

I pushed back really hard because nobody’s gonna tell me what to do, how to live my life.

But the truth is, I

do want to get married and have kids.

I mean, on my own time, of course, but

I’ve always wanted that. To be a mom, to be a wife.

Now I’ll never get the chance.

Marry me. Right now.

Good job, little lady. I gotta tell you, I wasn’t sure you could pull this off. Where is my son? All in good time. Hey, we broke you out, now you’re gonna keep up your end. Tell us where Tripp is. Not quite yet. What? Okay, you listen to me, you disgusting piece of Your mom would teach you. We catch more flies with honey, you know.

Yeah. Well, I smack my flies with a swatter. Until they’re dead. Hey, hey, what are you doing? What are you doing? Gentlemen, we’re gonna do this my way.

I can’t believe this is happening. Mama just got through cancer, and, and her surgery was a success. She was supposed to be out of the woods. We were all so happy, and Johnny and I had just gotten married, and, and, and. Mama, she, she was recovering and she was doing fine.

When I was little, my aunt Paulina seemed indestructible. She was a force to be reckoned with. I remember looking at her and thinking she made all the other adults just shake in their boots.

I had no idea she was going through hell. I didn’t know that she was in an abusive marriage. That she was forced to give up her child.

She pushed through the other side. She’s a survivor.

Do you remember when I first found out that she was my biological mother? God, I was, I was so upset at her for keeping it from me. Like, I was awful to her, Chanel. Yeah, but that’s understandable, okay? But I know, I know that she was doing it to protect me. I know that she wanted to keep me away from her. A man that would abuse me and beat me like he did her.

She sacrificed her own happiness for me.

Just like you would for Jules and Carver. But my babies are gonna grow up without their grandmother. They, they won’t remember her. Chanel, they’re too little. Yeah. My kids, they won’t, they won’t know her at all. I’ll never get to hear the sound of her voice or see her face light up whenever she lays eyes on them.

God, Lani, what are we gonna do? Mama is the one person that loves us no matter what.

The most pure and unconditional love is between a mother and her child. No matter how many mistakes we make, our mother still loves us. You know? And how lucky are we?

We are so lucky.

And that luck better not run out. Better not. Come here.

Oh,

Paulina. Paulina, can you hear me? Can you hear me?

For giving me the best years of my life.

I wish I could remember all the I wish I could remember all the All the times we had together.

But instead,

I get to fall with you all over again. I love you. I love you.

I always will.

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. But, 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.

I just had to be patient. And, for the first time in my life, I finally feel accepted for who I am. You don’t have to be something I’m not to try to impress you with it in some mold. I’m just me. Just, just dorky, nerdy me. Gotta say that, it feels really good. You were my heart. My soul. Yet in this Jenga game we call life, you are the piece that I need.

It’s pretty corny. It’s so, so sweet. It’s true. Without you, my whole world comes crashing down.

And so from this, Moving forward, I vow as your husband, love you, cherish you with all of my being, until I draw my very last breath on this earth.

This ride has come to a complete stop. John, Steve, This is where you get off. You don’t want to do this, Eva. This is a big mistake. The hell it is. It’s the only way I can save my son. Boys, take the guys back to Salem.

Now, for the last time, Clyde, where is my son? You know, that was an ace move right there. Seems to me like you’re the only one that really gets it. But, as much as I appreciate you stopping the dynamic duo there from double crossing me, I gotta tell you, I still don’t really trust you. Okay, well, there’s not much we can do about that now, is there?

I think there is. See, this is how it’s going to play out. Once I’m in the air, I call you on the phone. I tell you where Wendy and Tripp are. Okay, you know, let me think about that. No. That is not going to work for me.

Got it. I better pull myself together Before we go see mom because she can tell from a mile away when I’ve been crying She knows we’re scared we can’t fool her. Yeah, you’re right Sick as she is, she’s still razor sharp. And bossy.

I remember growing up one time she said, I could never die. Who would run my funeral?

This is so messed up. It’s just wrong. Our wonderful mother is in there dying. And it is unfair. All these horrible people, they just get to live. Yeah, well, life’s unfair, Chanel. And like Big Mama always said, you have to play the cards you’ve been dealt. But let’s not lose hope, okay? And you know, if the worst happens, if we lose mama, we’ll have each other and we will cry and we will grieve and our hearts will be broken.

But hey, we will pull ourselves together. And we will be the strong and fierce, powerful women that she has showed us to be by her example. And we will keep her in our hearts forever, okay? And we will make her proud. Oh, we

need more time. We need more time, Paulina.

You need to make new memories.

I know.

I know I’m being selfish. I know. And of you. Of you. To fight. It’s okay. It’s okay.

We’ll try, we’ll try to, try to get along without you. I know that’s what you’d want. You’d want, you’d want us to be strong. You’d want us,

you’d want us to take care of each other.

And we will. We will. Johnson,

with all my heart, I take you as my husband. I promise to be by your side, to learn with you, to encourage you, to respect you and accept you. You’re my best friend, Tripp. You make me laugh. You’re there for me when I cry. You were my rock when And I know I can always turn to you, lean on you, no matter what.

You are honest, and kind, and you’ve devoted your life to helping people. I love that you are so smart, and funny, and nerdy.

You love that I’m smart too.

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. Until I drop my very last breath on this earth. Well, this wasn’t part of the plan. Why am

I surprised Ava double crossed us? Should have seen it coming. Just like the The double cross of the, um, Chicago case. Ah, yeah. Chicago case. I hear you, partner. Well, I think you’re forgetting, you killed me. You’ll never find your kid. Oh, you’ll live. But you’ll walk real funny for a while. And don’t plan on having any more kids.

Where is my son?! Sweetheart, I think he’s probably halfway to heaven by now. I think his man parts are where they are. Thank you very much. So,

uh, do you think we should go back in now? No, um, let’s give them some more time. Dad knows we’re out here. Why don’t we go to the chapel and say a prayer for Mama? What if Abe comes out here and he’s looking for us? He’ll text us. Don’t worry. Okay. Hey, Lani. Yeah? I love you.

I love you too. How much?

How much time do we have left? Not much time. How will it happen? I’ll just I fell asleep. Oh, sleep. I’m okay. Tripp. When we get

out of here,

will you marry me for real? Huh? Oh yeah. Yeah, I’ll marry you for real. I I do.

There’s our ride. Yep. Looks like it’s about time to Go!

Let’s blow this popsicle stand. You got it, baby. Now, I assume whoever’s flying that plane works for you. So me and my gal here, we’re just gonna drive off into the sunset. But rest assured, I will be thinking warm thoughts of you as I travel down that glory road to freedom. Please, Clyde, don’t do this.

Don’t do this. I will do whatever you want. I will give you whatever you want. Just, just tell me where Tripp is. Sorry, baby. Damn you. Damn you! I will kill you! I will hunt you down to the ends of the earth and I will slit your throat, you Son of a bitch! Adios, amiga.

Don’t even bother looking for your son. I made sure he’s good and dead. No!

Days of Our Lives Update

 

Days of Our Lives logo

Update written by Joseph

Sarah takes care of Victoria in the interrogation room until Xander is brought in to see them. Xander comments on how much he’s missed them.

Brady walks through the town square and gets a call from Tate, saying he was just checking in and seeing when Brady will get there. Brady responds that it will be about an hour and that he’s bringing a big surprise which he assures will be good as they hang up. Nicole walks by while finishing a call with Holly and stops to greet Brady. Brady asks how Holly is. Nicole reveals that she’s awake and out of her coma. Brady is shocked and asks when it happened. Nicole says it was just yesterday. Brady asks if she’s alert and talking. Nicole confirms that she is and that doctors are hopeful that she will make a full recovery. Brady says that’s what they’ve been praying for but admits he’s a little confused because of how important this is to Tate and questions why Nicole didn’t call him to tell him that Holly was alert and talking.

Chad goes to the Brady Pub where Roman presents him his orders to go. Chad tells Roman that he, Julie, and Stephanie are meeting at the Horton house. Roman asks what’s going on there. Chad explains that Julie needs to make a list of everything that can be salvaged and the contractors are there. Roman decides to join the cause and leaves the Pub with Chad.

At the Horton house, Julie tells Stephanie how grateful she is for her help. Stephanie says she’s happy to help in any way she can. Julie knows it’s a difficult time for her since Everett came by and they got to talking. Stephanie brings up Everett being Jada’s ex-husband, Bobby Stein. Julie says that Bobby told her what a painful and confusing experience this is for him and it’s clear to her that Everett cares for Stephanie deeply. Stephanie says the rebuild here is going to take a lot longer than a day so they better get started.

Everett goes to see Marlena in her office. Marlena asks if he’s still going by Everett. Everett insists that is his name and if she doesn’t believe him then he can’t go through with this. Marlena says she does believe he is Everett Lynch but thinks they need to explore the idea of who Bobby Stein is and why he can’t access those memories. Marlena says they are here to help him do that. Marlena asks how he is feeling today. Everett talks about trying to calm himself down on the way over because he knows she will be impartial and non judgmental. Everett admits he’s never been so terrified in his life of what he might learn about himself and his past. Marlena calls that understandable but assures that all she wants to do is help him. Marlena mentions accessing some of his medical records which say he suffered a traumatic brain injury and that he was in a medically induced coma for a year. Marlena asks what some of his first memories were after being brought out of the coma. Everett felt like he was in a fog and everything was fuzzy. Everett recalls seeing the nurse go in and out of the room and then a doctor came to ask him questions to determine how lucid he was. Everett remembers the first question being what is your name and he told him that it was Everett Lynch, because that’s who he is.

Julie agrees with Stephanie that it will take more than a day to restore the house. Julie says she has to go talk to the carpenters outside as they are giving her an estimate. Julie asks Stephanie to go upstairs and check on the guy cleaning the walls. Julie mentions Doug wanting her to check the closet in the back bedroom where he kept his music archives from over the years. Julie prays that it made it through the fire unscathed because those are some of Doug’s best memories. Julie remarks that she hopes Everett regains his memory too, noting that Marlena is going to try to help him with that. Stephanie hopes she succeeds as much as that scares her.

Brady asks if Nicole understands how they have been waiting desperately for Holly to be able to set the record straight about what happened the night she overdosed as Tate’s life hangs in the balance and he’s living in a halfway house because he’s been falsely accused. Nicole gets offended and says they are focusing on Holly’s well being and getting better after she almost died. Brady says he’s relieved for Holly but he’s worried about his son too and asks when she’s going to talk to Holly about the drugs. Nicole responds that they already talked to her about it and she’s afraid that Brady is not going to be happy about what she had to say.

Xander thanks Sarah for bringing Victoria. Sarah says they were missing him but hopefully not for too long. Xander asks what she means. Sarah reveals that Harris Michaels is awake and recovering in the hospital. Xander asks if he said who shot him. Sarah says not yet, but he will.

Marlena asks Everett to tell her about some of his earliest memories as a child. Everett recalls his mother baking him a birthday cake shaped like an F1 racing car when he was three. Everett says that his mother was beautiful, kind, and her mantra was to just be nice.

Stephanie brings out a box of clothes that survived the fire while Julie finds one of Doug’s vinyl records. Chad arrives with Roman, surprising Julie. Chad says they brought milkshakes and breakfast sandwiches. Roman says he’s ready to pitch in and asks where Julie needs him. Chad says he is too. Julie calls them kind and wonderful. Roman and Chad agree they are grateful to be part of this effort. Chad takes the box of clothes to be taken to the laundromat. Julie asks how lucky she is to have family and friends like them as she hugs Stephanie and Roman.

Brady asks Nicole why he won’t like what Holly said. Nicole explains that Holly is still a little unclear about what happened that night but she said they were not her drugs so they believe that someone slipped her the drugs. Brady asks Nicole to tell him right now that she doesn’t think it was his son. Nicole responds that EJ wonders who else would have motive and opportunity. Brady insists that Tate would not push drugs on a girl to take advantage of her, regardless of what EJ thinks. Brady talks about Tate having an aversion to drugs because of his parents addictive history. Nicole complains that she doesn’t know what to believe as it’s a lot to take in but she knows she needs to get home to her daughter. Brady stops her and says she needs to understand that his son went to jail because he found her daughter passed out on the loading dock and panicked like any 16 year old kid would. Brady adds that Tate told him that the drugs weren’t his and he believes him because he’s a good person. Brady brings up Holly being foggy about what happened while Tate has been clear since the day it happened. Brady declares that he wants to talk to Holly but Nicole says that’s not going to happen. Brady asks why not. Nicole repeats that they are focused on Holly’s healing and they can’t allow anything to disrupt that. Brady argues that his kid’s life hangs in the balance and this could jeopardize his entire future. Brady says that Tate isn’t lying while Nicole says Holly isn’t either. Nicole says maybe when Holly feels stronger, they can all sit down and talk but she can’t make any promises as to when that will happen. Nicole tells Brady that she’s sorry but she has to go and walks away.

Julie tells Stephanie, Chad, and Roman to keep an eye out for any type of key for the time capsule. Chad explains to Stephanie how Thomas found it in the fireplace. Roman wonders what Alice put in there since it was over 50 years ago. Julie shows them a picture of the time capsule. Chad and Roman joke about what might be inside. Julie hopes it’s something that brings joy to the maximum .

Marlena states that Everett obviously has positive memories of his mother. Everett admits he does but he hasn’t thought about her in a long time. Marlena asks if he’d like to explore that relationship. Everett says maybe next session as he just wants to focus on figure out who Bobby Stein is. Marlena brings out a file that Jada sent over which says his name is Robert Everett Stein and that his mother’s maiden name was Lynch. Everett says that makes sense since it’s his middle name and his mother’s name. Marlena asks if he has any idea why he chose those names. Everett says no. Marlena asks what he can tell her about his father. Everett says that nothing comes to mind and that he’s blanking on his own father. Everett asks if that’s because of his brain injury after the accident which Marlena assumes it is. Everett questions if anyone in an accident just forgets their father, asking why he would just completely obliterate him from his mind.

Xander asks if Sarah thinks Harris hasn’t said who shot him because he didn’t see the person or he doesn’t remember. Sarah says that Harris says he doesn’t remember. Xander wonders if he will ever remember. Sarah says it’s hard to say. Xander worries that it makes no difference since the cards are stacked against him, especially if Harris never says it wasn’t him. Sarah feels there’s another way to look at it and that’s that Harris can’t say it was him either.

Brady brings Tate donuts from the Bakery. Tate says he has something to show him and asks Brady for his phone. Tate explains that it’s an app to stream the Premier League. Brady says that sounds great but not right now because there’s something important he needs to tell him. Brady then informs Tate that Holly is awake.

Nicole goes home to the DiMera Mansion where Holly is in the living room. Nicole says she’s surprised to see Holly out of her room as she brings her donuts from the bakery. Nicole mentions running in to Brady and says they chatted a bit about what happened on New Year’s. Nicole says that Brady is a devoted father and loves his son so much, so he refuses to believe that Tate’s the one who gave her the drugs. Holly responds that Tate didn’t.

Stephanie, Chad, Julie, and Roman search the Horton house. Stephanie finds a half dollar. Julie comments on the house being full of treasures. Julie suggests she and Roman go through the discarded furniture in the backyard to see what can be salvaged. Stephanie tells Chad that she loves Julie’s attitude as she is one strong woman. Chad says Julie can turn a sad situation into a treasure hunt. Stephanie adds that Julie has been so kind about what she’s going through as well and encouraged her to open up about it. Chad agrees that she should and says she can with him if she wants to. Stephanie decides that she does and she doesn’t because it’s hard for her to broach that subject with him. Chad says he’ll do it then and asks where things stand with her and Everett.

Marlena asks if Everett wants to stop here since this has been a lot to take in and suggests they pick it up next week. Marlena asks if he would be willing to try hypnosis. Everett agrees if she thinks it will help. Marlena goes to schedule it. Everett gets a text from Stephanie, saying she hopes all goes well with Marlena and that she’s helping Julie at the Horton house, asking if they can talk later. Marlena tells Everett that they are good for the same time next week and encourages him to just be patient and gentle with himself. Everett agrees to do his best and thanks her for everything as he then exits.

Tate asks Brady if Holly is going to be okay. Brady says apparently so as she is fully conscious. Tate calls it a miracle and asks if she told everyone what happened on New Year’s Eve and that the drugs weren’t his. Brady responds that unfortunately, she didn’t.

Nicole questions Holly saying that Tate was not the one who gave her the drugs. Holly repeats that he wasn’t and questions why she would even think that. Nicole goes over how he was her date and with her all night, so he was the likely culprit. Nicole asks who else would’ve slipped her those drugs and why. Holly says she doesn’t know but she knows Tate would never do something like that.

Sarah insists to Xander that if Harris’s memory was wiped from that night, then he can’t implicate him. Xander assures that he wasn’t there. Sarah tells him that she believes him and wouldn’t bring Victoria to visit him if she didn’t. Xander admits he’s starting to get pessimistic as his cell is getting to him. Xander calls her the most loving and supportive partner. Xander says he can’t wait to come home to her and Victoria. Sarah promises not to go back to their apartment until he’s with them, but notes that it’s chaotic at the Kiriakis Mansion with Doug, Julie, Chad and the kids staying there. Sarah brings up that Konstantin is also still there. Xander admits he’s not crazy about Sarah and Victoria being around Konstantin.

Chad tells Stephanie nevermind since it’s none of his business what happened between her and Everett. Chad knows it was a tough time for them when they broke up and went their separate ways while now this. Chad tells her that she deserved better from he and Everett. Chad says if the timing was different and he wasn’t coming off losing his wife, he’d like to believe it would’ve worked out for them. Chad jokes that they will always have the ring toss at six flags where she won the gigantic teddy bear for Charlotte. Chad says it wasn’t Paris, but they have fun. Stephanie agrees that it was great and she was happy to hang out with his kids. Stephanie calls them some pretty good memories. Chad adds that if Stephanie ever does want to talk or vent, he’s there for her or if she ever wants to hang out with him and the kids. Stephanie admits she would like that. Chad calls her a good person and says he’s really grateful for her. Stephanie says she’s grateful for him too. Chad and Stephanie hug as Everett appears and sees them, but then quickly exits.

Nicole tells Holly that she shouldn’t have brought it up as she should be focusing on relaxing. Holly questions how she can relax when she just told her that she and EJ think it was Tate that gave her the drugs. Nicole questions who else could have given her those drugs. Holly flashes back to the party and trying to convince Tate to do the drugs.

Tate insists to Brady that the drugs were Holly’s. Brady assures that he and Theresa believe him but asks how to prove it if Holly won’t admit it. Brady asks if Tate has anything. Tate admits he only has his word so it’s his word against her word.

Nicole apologizes to Holly again for bringing this up. Holly says it’s all just a blur but she knows Tate would never force her to take anything. Nicole asks again who would’ve given her those pills. Holly shouts that she doesn’t know. Nicole says she hates to see her so hurt. Holly says she’s fine and storms out as she heads back upstairs.

Xander asks if Sarah has everything she needs and assumes Maggie is taking excellent care of her which Sarah confirms. Sarah promises to steer clear of Konstantin and says she knows they will be back in their apartment soon as they hug. Xander tells Victoria to take extra good care of Sarah. Xander promises that he will be back home as soon as the Gods smile down on him, which he’s praying will be very soon.

Chad tells Stephanie that when they broke up, he was worried that they would never get to this place that they are at now. Stephanie admits she was too but she’s glad they’ve gotten close again because the friendship is very important to them. They agree that they never want to jeopardize it. Chad offers to walk her home. Stephanie says he doesn’t have to but Chad says he would like to.

Everett stands outside the Horton house looking upset.

Recap written by Michele and Cheryl

Rafe and Ava ran into each other at the town square. She wondered if he had any leads on Tripp and Wendy. He didn’t have any leads. Rafe assumed she used her connections to track them down. Harris saw Officer Goldman in his hospital room. She was about to shoot him when the nurse arrived. Julie was at the Horton house and heard a noise outside. Someone flashed a light inside the house. Marlena visited Paulina. She let Marlena know that she was scared. Ava snapped at Rafe because she was worried about Tripp. Rafe had to take care of business. Officer Goldman walked past Rafe. Everett turned out to be the one at the Horton house. Julie wondered why he was there. He thought someone broke in the house. She thought he was the arsonist coming back to finish the job. Everett wanted to know what she was doing there. Julie wanted to open her grandparents time capsule. Everett wanted to know why she was there. She wanted to look around for clues for the time capsule. Lani and Abe talked about Paulina running out of time. He said that Paulina was their rock and core. Abe didn’t want to go through the pain of losing another wife. Paulina admitted to Marlena that she wasn’t feeling strong. Marlena told her that she had a lot of years ahead of her. She wanted Paulina to remember that. Heart recipients are living long than they were before. They were going to fight hard to find her a donor. She wanted Paulina to keep fighting. Harris told Rafe that Goldman is the mole. He told him that she tried to kill him.

Harris continued to tell Rafe about Goldman being the mole. Rafe planned to put another guard at his door. Harris wanted to find Goldman. Goldman called Clyde to tell him about Harris. She let him know that she got made by Harris. He wanted to know why she didn’t take him out. There were too many witnesses. He said they had to move the timeline. She wanted to know about Tripp and Wendy. He told her to figure it out. Julie told Everett that he reminded her of Nick. She told him about Adrienne and Bonnie looking alike, but they don’t act the same. He told her that Jada seemed adamant about him looking like her ex-husband. She told him that fingerprints don’t lie. She wondered if he was telling the truth. Rafe wanted to put out a bolo on Goldman. He wanted her brought in immediately. Rafe realized everything made sense. Harris said she needed the drug dealer dead. Everett told Julie that he wasn’t lying about not remembering Jada. He thought he was a decent person. Everett hoped that she believed him. He needed someone to believe him. She didn’t hate him. Julie believed he was telling the truth. Julie told him a story about her family history. He felt like he just got Stephanie back and didn’t want to lose her. Julie said that he needed to figure out his past or he would never find out about his life. Rafe couldn’t believe he missed the signs. Harris said she had everyone fooled. He wondered if Clyde had Goldman something big on her. Harris thought they could get her to admit who else works for Clyde. Clyde called Ava and she went off about him taking Tripp. She threatened to kill him if something happened to Tripp. He warned her to do what he said and Tripp would be fine. Clyde wanted Ava to break him out of prison. She wanted to know how she was supposed to get him out. He wanted her to use her Vitally connections to get him out. She refused to do that. He told her that Tripp would die if he didn’t get out in 24 hours.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Sarah: The itsy bitsy spider went up the water spout. And down came the rain and washed the spider out. And then up came the sun and

Good morning, love. Oh, and who’s this we’ve got here? It’s my sweet angel. God, I’ve missed you. I’ve missed you both.

Hey, bud, what’s up? Hey, dad, just, uh, just checking in to see when you’re getting here. Uh, about an hour or so, and I’m bringing a big surprise for you. Oh, a good one, I hope. Of course it’s a good one. I will see you soon, okay? Alright, bye. And I’m just leaving Sweet Bits, where I got you your favorite Alice’s Snacks.

Mmm, yummy. Uh, see you soon, honey. I love you. I love you too, mom.

Hi, Brady. Hey.

Hey, how’s, uh, how’s Holly? Actually, um, I have great news. She’s awake. Out of her coma. You’re kidding me. Oh my god, that’s unbelievable. I’m so happy to hear that. When did this happen? Just yesterday. Is she, is she, she’s alert? Is she, is she talking? Well, she’s a little weak, but yes, she’s alert, and she’s, she’s talking.

Oh, God. And the doctors, they, they, they think, they’re hopeful that she will make a full recovery. Oh, God, that’s, that’s what we’ve been praying for. My God, both Holly and Tate. Nick, I gotta ask you though, I’m a little confused. I mean, you know what this means for Tate, you know. How important it is for Holly to, to tell the truth about what happened on New Year’s Eve.

Why, my God, why wouldn’t you call me? Why wouldn’t you tell me that she’s alert and, and talking?

Perfect timing, Chaz. You’re two goes away. Got three top of the morning sandwiches, three vanilla shakes. For you and the kids, I assume. Uh, no, uh, Julie and Steph, actually. Yeah, we’re all meeting over at the, uh, the Wharton house. Hmm, okay. Uh, what’s going on over there today? Well, actually, Julie met, um, met with the adjuster yesterday, so she needs to make a list of everything that can be salvaged, and, uh, and the renovators are there.

Sounds like a lot of work. I suspect you need an extra pair of hands. That’s, that’s good of you, but we got it. No, no, I got this new kid, Adley. He’s quick on his feet, got a lot of good spirit going for him. I’m sure he can take care of everything. I’m coming with you. Okay, great. I’m joining the cause.

Awesome. Alright, let’s go. Stephanie, it’s so kind of you to come and help. I’m really grateful. Oh, you know, I’m so happy to help, Julie, in any way that I can. I know this is a difficult time for you. That obvious, huh? No, no, not at all. But, um, Everett came by and we got to talking. Oh. Did he tell you we’ve all found out that he’s Jada’s ex husband, Bobby Stein?

Yes, he did tell me that. He also told me what a painful, confusing experience this is for him. And one thing became quite clear to me. He cares for you deeply, Stephanie. For what it’s worth, if anything. Stephanie. You know, rebuilding here is going to take a lot longer than a day, so we’d best get started.

Oh, Everett. How good to see you. You still are going by the name Everett, right? Yes. Yes. Because that’s who I am, Dr. Evans. And listen, I mean, if, if, if you don’t believe that, then, then I can’t, I can’t go through with this. I understand. I do believe that you are Everett Lynch. And I, I also think we need to explore the idea of who Bobby Stein is, and, and why you can’t access any memories of the other identity.

But that’s why you’re here. To help you do that. Please sit down.

Can you tell me how you’re feeling today? Ah, well, um, I guess, uh, all the way over here. You know, I was trying to calm myself down because I know, I know you’ll be Impartial, non judgmental, but, uh, as hard as I tried, um,

I’ve never been so terrified in my life, Dr. Evans, of what I might learn about myself. About my past.

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

Everett, of course you’re terrified. That’s understandable. But, to use your words, I am non judgmental. All I want to do here is help you.

I have, uh, accessed some of your medical records. It says here that you suffered a traumatic brain injury and that you were in a medically induced coma. Uh, that’s right, for a year. Yes, a year. Um, tell me, when you were brought out of the coma, what were some of your first memories? Um,

I, I felt like I was in a fog, you know, um, everything was fuzzy. I remember out of the corner of my eye, there was this nurse in green scrubs going in and out of the room. And, uh, and then this, This doctor came in and, and he, he started asking me questions. I imagined to determine how lucid I was.

And the first question that he asked me

was, what is your name? Yes, uh, I assume that you told him that it was Everett Lynch, correct? Yes, that’s That’s right. Because that’s who I am. Yes, Stephanie, it will take more than a day to restore the house. It’ll take a village, as Hillary loved to say. Well, in that vein, I’ve got to go outside, talk to the carpenters who are giving me an estimate.

And if you would be so good as to go upstairs and just check on the guy that’s cleaning the walls. I will do that. Thank you. Doug wants me to, um, Look through the closet in the back bedroom. That’s where he kept all of his, his music archive. Yeah, the, uh, the scores, the, the sheet music, and his memorabilia from, from all the years when he toured the country singing.

You know, clippings, and photos, and I just pray to God that it made it through the fire unscathed, because those are some of his best memories, and well, they mean the world and all to him. I can only imagine. Stephanie, uh, I hope Everett regains his memory, too. You said Marlena was going to try and help them with that.

She is. And hopefully she will succeed. As much as that scares me.

You understand how, how we’ve been waiting anxiously and desperately for Holly to be able to set the record straight about what happened the night she OD’d? Brady. My son is, my son’s life has been on hold. He’s in a halfway house because he was falsely accused of pushing drugs on your little girl. I’m sorry, Brady, if I didn’t call you right when Holly woke up, okay?

But right now we are focusing on her getting better and her well being, okay? My gosh, you’re almost dying, Brady. I know, I know, I know, yes, I understand that. I’m relieved, of course I’m relieved, but I’m worried about my son, too. Nicole, when are you going to talk to her about the drugs? We’ve already spoken to her about that.

And? And, I’m afraid you’re not going to be happy about what she had to say. Oh, Sarah. so

much for bringing her. Yeah, she was missing her dog. I was too. But, hopefully not for too long. What do you mean? Well, I’ve been waiting to tell you since you came in. But you were so excited to see Victoria. No, tell me what? Harris Michaels is awake. And recovering in the hospital. What? Oh my god, did he Did he say who did it, who shot him?

No, not yet, but He will.

Everett, can you tell me about Some of your earliest memories Say from the time you were Three, four years old Because those Memories are the earliest that we think of as retrievable. Um, yeah. Earliest memories.

My mother, when I was, uh, maybe three? She, she baked me this, um, birthday cake. Uh, shaped like a Formula One race car, you know. Single seat with the, The candle sticking out of the open cockpit, uh. She loved to bake. She was, uh, beautiful. Kind. She always used to say, I remember this, um, Just be nice, you know.

Everybody’s going through something. That was her mantra.

Just be nice.

It looks promising, doesn’t it? I think once, uh, once everything’s laundered, a lot of it should be wearable again. And there’s a lot more upstairs. Yeah, well, we’ll salvage something. Wait. Look at this. Look at this. It’s one of Doug’s albums. Yes. I don’t think a needle has touched it since the 1970s. But it’s intact.

Isn’t that wonderful? Doug’s gonna be thrilled. Hey, hey. How’s it going in here? Roman. Roman. What a nice surprise. Yeah, when I told him where I was headed, he didn’t think twice. Wanted to come and we came bearing gifts. Milkshakes and breakfast sandwiches. My goodness. With Stephanie’s donuts and this, it’ll be a, it’ll be a cruise ship buffet.

Well, I’m ready to pitch in. Where do you need me? Oh, I’ll support, uh, put, put me in too, coach. Oh, you are so kind. It’s, it’s, it’s just, you’re wonderful. I’m grateful. Well, we are grateful to be part of this effort. Definitely. Okay, let’s get started. Okay. Uh, these. What do you want these? Oh, oh, ugh. They stink of smoke.

So, if you, if you could, uh, put them in my car for now. I’ll take them to the laundromat in a fluffin fold. You got it.

How lucky am I to have family and friends like you. Bless you. Oh, bless your dear sweetheart.

Why won’t I like what Holly said?

Listen, Brady, Holly is still a little foggy about what happened that night. Things are still a little unclear. But she said that the OD’d on, were not hers. She doesn’t know how they got into her system, so we believe that someone must have slipped her those drugs.

Tell me right now that you don’t think it’s my kid.

Well, EJ wonders who else would have motive and opportunity. Okay, EJ, okay, listen, listen. My kid would not do anything like this. My kid would not push drugs on a girl and try to take advantage of her. Regardless of what EJ thinks. My kid does not push drugs. He doesn’t do drugs. As a matter of fact, Nick, he has an aversion to drugs because he’s fully aware of his parents addictive history.

And you know all about it. Yeah. Okay, you’ve told me about it. Quite frankly, I, I, I don’t know what to believe right now. It’s a lot to take in, okay? But I do know that right now, I need to be home with my daughter. Nick, please, please give me, just please. Sorry, give me a minute. You need to understand that my kid went to jail.

Because he found your daughter passed out on the loading docks, okay? And he panicked like any 16 year old kid would. He looked me in the face and said, Dad, those drugs were not mine, I didn’t give them to her. And I believe him. You know why I believe him, Nick? Because he’s a good kid, he’s a good person. I never said he wasn’t.

And Holly, Holly admits she was foggy about what happened. She’s still foggy about it. My kid has been clear from day one, the day it happened. I think I should, I, I, I need to talk to your daughter. I want to talk to Holly, please. No, Brady, I’m sorry, that’s not going to happen.

Why is that not going to happen? Why can’t I talk to Holly? Because, Brady, right now we are focusing on her healing and well being. And we can’t allow anything to disrupt that. Nicole. My kid’s life hangs in the balance here. Do you understand this kind of thing can jeopardize his entire future? Do you understand that?

My little boy’s not lying! Neither is Holly! Oh God. Brady, listen. Maybe when Holly Feel stronger. We can all sit down and talk, but I can’t make any promises as to when that’s gonna happen.

I have to go, Brady, I’m sorry.

So here are the trash bags for all the trash that we have collected. Oh, if anybody sees a little strange object that might be a key You know, to the time capsule. Time capsule? Oh, yeah, I didn’t, uh, I didn’t tell you. When, uh, when we were here to survey the damage for the insurance claim, Thomas was running around being his eight year old self and, uh, whacked the fireplace and a, and a time capsule fell from the inside.

And we worked hard to get that thing open. No luck. Yeah, I took a picture of it. Yeah, and who knows what Alice put in there. It was over 50 years ago, ancient history of YouTube. Here it is. See? Wow. Yeah, it’s fascinating, ain’t it? I mean, who knows? Maybe you’ll find the, uh, keys to a rusty old mobile that’s hidden away in some long forgotten barn, or some creepy jack in the box.

So jump out and scare the hell out of it. Well, I hope it isn’t anything creepy. We’ve had enough pandemonium and creepy things to last a lifetime. I hope it’s something that just. Brings joy up to the maximum. Hear, hear. Yeah.

Hmm. Obviously you have some positive memories of your mother. Yeah. Yeah, I do. Um, But I admit, I haven’t, I haven’t thought about her in a long time. Okay, would you like to, Explore that relationship with her Maybe next session. Is that okay? Just I’d really I’d like to focus on figuring out you know Who Bobby Stein?

Sure, of course. I actually have a file that Jane has sent over. Um, yeah. It says here that your name is Robert Everett Stein, and your mother’s maiden name was Lynch.

Everett Lynch.

I mean, but that makes sense, doesn’t it? Because it’s my own middle name, my mother’s surname. Do you have any idea why you chose those names? Uh, none, no. No. What can you tell me about your father?

My father. Um,

uh, I don’t know, uh, nothing, nothing comes to mind. My god, I’m, I’m blanking my own father, uh,

sorry. Is that, is that because of the brain accident after the A brain injury after the accident? Yes. I would assume so. I mean, really though? I mean, what does, does every war correspondent or every pedestrian in a road accident for that matter just put Forget their father. I mean, Why, why would I just completely obliterate him from my mind?

So do you suppose that Harris hasn’t said who shot him because you didn’t see the person or because he doesn’t remember? He says he doesn’t remember. And in your very wise, doctorly opinion, will he ever remember? Have those memories sunk to the bottom of the ocean, or are they more like messages in a bottle, and they’re just bobbing around, hopefully to one day reach the shore again?

That’s really hard to say. You know. Well, the difference isn’t me. It’s cobbled together over the years. The cards are stacked against me, we know that. Especially now that Harris may never Say that I wasn’t the one on the loading dock that night? Yes, but there’s another way to look at it. He can’t say it was you, either.

Hey, what are you in the mood for? I got a jelly filled, I got cinnamon crumb in there. Oh, both of those look awesome. But, before we start with donuts, I have something I want to show you. Here, give me your phone, okay? Why do you need my phone? Just give it to me. Why do you need it? It’s this app that I found.

Okay, basically, you can stream any Premier League match for, like, the price of a cup of coffee. So we can watch the Liverpool Man City match next week. Tate, that sounds great, but, um, not right now, okay? Why? What’s the matter? Because there’s something important that I need to tell you. What is it? It’s about Holly.

She’s awake.

Well, this is a pleasant surprise, seeing you down here. It’s out of your bed. Well, I was kind of getting cabin fever in my room. Like the walls were closing in. But I see Santa came early this year. Yum. Oh my God. These are amazing. From Sweet Bits? Uh, where else?

So, um, I ran into Brady while I was there. Chatted a little bit. About what?

You know, what happened on New Year’s. And that Brady’s such a, a devoted father and he loves his son very much and he just refuses to believe that Tate’s the one that gave you the drugs. He didn’t.

Any luck finding a key anywhere? No, not yet. Whoa, look at this. Wait, it’s Yeah, it’s JFK. It’s a half dollar. Gee, there must be so much history all over this house. Oh, yeah. There’s histories here and treasures everywhere. You just need loving eyes to see them. Roman, why don’t you and I go to the backyard and go through that pile of discarded furniture and we’ll decide what can be salvaged.

Will you help me? Let’s go. Okay. I love Julie’s attitude. She is one strong woman, huh? Yeah, she sure is. She, um, she has a knack for turning a sad situation into, um, well, a treasure hunt. Right. She’s been so kind about what I’m going through too. She encouraged me to open up about it.

Yeah. Yeah. Well, you should.

With me. I mean, if you wanted to. Actually, I do. And I don’t. I mean, it’s, it’s hard for me. Because it’s so fraught to broach the subject with you. Hmm. What if I broached it? Sure. Go for it. Okay. Stephanie Johnson. Uh, where Do things stand with you and Everett?

Everett, would you like to stop here? I know this has been quite a lot to take in. I could say that. Alright, we can pick this up next week. Um, I, I would like to, um, try hypnosis. You’d be willing to do that? Uh, hypnosis. Okay. . . It can be a very effective therapeutic tool. And, uh, you, you know what? Read up on it.

Tell me what you think. Uh, no. Um, I, I don’t have to. I, I. Defer to you if you think that it’ll help. Yeah. Well, I think it could be very helpful. And it’s also helpful that we do it right here in the office. Right. Um. Yeah. Okay. Uh. Let’s do it. Okay. How, how bad can it be? Let’s get it scheduled. Okay.

I think, uh, we’re good for it the same time next week if that works for you. Uh, yes, uh, actually, yeah, it does. Good. And your homework is? Just be gentle and patient with yourself. I will do my best.

Thank you, Dr. Evans, for, for everything.

Holly, she’s, she’s awake? Is she gonna be okay? Apparently so, yeah. So she’s talking and everything? She’s fully conscious. That’s That’s a miracle. So she told everyone what happened on New Year’s Eve, right? She told them that the drugs she took weren’t mine? Tate. Unfortunately, no, she didn’t.

So Tate is not the one who gave you the drugs? No, he didn’t. Why would you even think that? Well, honey, because he was your date and you were with him all evening so by power of deduction, he’s the likely culprit. But honey, I mean Who else would have slipped you those drugs, and why? I, I don’t know, but I know it wasn’t Tate, Mom.

He would never do something like that.

Sarah, come on. No, I’m not being Pollyanna, Sander. What I said is true. If Harris’s memory has been wiped of what happened that night, then he cannot implicate you, period. Yes, but also I wasn’t there. You, you do believe that, don’t you, Sarah? Of course I believe that. How many times have I told you that? You know that.

My God, do you really think that I would bring my infant daughter to visit a man who I thought had just tried to commit murder? Of course not. I just wish I could borrow your roast into glasses for a minute. I will admit, I’m starting to get a little bit of a pessimistic outlook. It’s this place. It’s just starting to get to me.

It’s driving me crazy. I think it’s at least, in part, because of the tattooed geezer who stares at me maniacally from the next cell. Honey, I’m so sorry. Oh, what have you got to be sorry about? You’re the most supportive and loving partner a man could ask for. God, I just can’t wait to come home to you and our little angel.

Hey, promise me you won’t go back to our apartment until everything’s resolved, eh? I just hate the idea of you two being there alone. I promise that I will not go back there until you are there. Although, it is so chaotic at my mom’s house, what with Doug, Julie, Chad, and the kids. And oh my god, let’s not forget Constantine, because he’s still there.

I don’t run into him much, but he is there. Oh yes, the uh, Greek interloper Constantine. Yo, honestly, I’m not crazy about the two of you being around that man.

Actually, you know what? I mean, never mind. It’s uh It’s really none of my business, you know, what, what happened between you and Everett. Um,

Uh, but, you know, for, uh, I do want to say something. And, uh, I know, um, you know, when we broke up, and, uh, we went our separate ways, I, I, I know that it was a tough time for you. And then, uh, for me, too. Uh, You you got involved with Everett. Uh, and now this. And I just wanted to tell you that you deserve better than that from both of us.

Thank you. And for what it’s worth, I, uh, you know, had the timing been different and I, and I wasn’t coming off of losing my wife, I’d like to believe that it would have worked for us. I know. It’s just, uh, it’s just It’s hard to hear, you know? Yeah. But, hey, you know what? We’ll always have the, uh, the ring toss game at Six Flags.

Huh? There, uh, you know, you won, um, you remember you won the, uh, the gigantic teddy bear for, for Charlotte? Right? I mean, it wasn’t Paris, but We had, um, we had fun, yeah. Yeah, it was great. We weren’t living together yet. I was just, I was just so happy to hang out with your sweet kids. Oh my God, they love you.

When I told them that you were coming with, they went ballistic. They were jumping up and down, screaming, Oh my God, Stephanie’s coming with! Oh my God, Stephanie! No, I was excited too. Some, uh, pretty good memories, right? Yeah.

Um, yeah, you know, I’m, I’m, I just wanted to say that, you know, if you ever do want to talk, you know, I’m here for you. Or vent, or, you know, hang out with me. And the kids, of course. Uh, I mean, we could go back to Six Flags and, uh, the next time I’ll, I’ll win you a gig gigantic, the giganticus bear that that place has is yours.

I’m getting it for you. I’d like that.

You’re a good person, Steph. And I’m really grateful for you. I’m grateful for you too.

Honey, I, I, I shouldn’t have brought it up. Look, you should be focusing on relaxing and resting and eating these donuts. How am I supposed to relax when you just told me that you and EJ think Tate’s to blame for my overdose, which he wasn’t, mom. Honey, I mean, who else could it have been? Who else would have given you those drugs?

By the way, my parents are both addicts, so there is no way I’m taking those and neither should you. Oh, come on. They’re just some ADHD meds I got from someone at school. Everyone does it. Yeah, well, not me. And I didn’t think that you did either. But they were her drugs. Not mine. Dad, you have to believe me.

I love you, Kate. I believe you. Why wouldn’t I? Alright, your mother believes you too. The problem is, how do we prove it? If Holly won’t admit it. Do you have any proof at all? Do you have anything? My word. That’s all. It’s my word against hers.

Holly? Honey? Where’d you go? I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have brought this up. No, it’s fine. It’s just What? It’s, it’s all just a blur, okay? But, Mom, I know Tate. And I know he would never force me to take anything. Who would have given you those pills, honey? I don’t, I don’t know, Mom! Okay, I don’t know! Sorry! No, honey, I’m the one who’s sorry.

I hate to see you so hurt. I’m fine, really!

Damn it. Do you have everything you need over there? Of course you do. I’m sure your mum is taking excellent care of you and our little one. She is. She’s doting on us, in fact. That sounds like Maggie. And you promise you’ll steer clear of Constantine, yes? I will. For sure. We will be back in our apartment soon.

I know that. I’m counting on that. Me too.

And as for you, little one, I need you to promise to take extra special good care of your mummy, yes? Two blinks for yes. Okay, drool is fine. And from my part, I promise you, Victoria, I will be back home just as soon as the gods smile down on me. Which I’m praying will be very soon.

You know, um, you know when we broke up, uh, um, and it was awkward for that little bit. I was worried that we’d, we’d, uh, never get to this place. Mm, yeah. Where we are now. Yeah, me too. And I’m so glad that we’ve gotten over that awkwardness and gotten close again because This friendship is really important to me.

To both of us, I hope. Yeah. There’s nothing I would want to do to jeopardize it. Neither. Uh, can I walk you home? Oh, you know not to do that. I’d like to.

Update written by Joseph

John and Steve go to see Ava and question what the emergency is. Ava informs them that she got a call from Clyde, who said if she ever wants to see her son again, she needs to break him out of prison in the next 24 hours.

Tripp and Wendy remain locked up. Wendy wakes up as Tripp talks about imagining them on a road trip to Italy. Tripp says the one thing that makes this bearable is having her beside him and he’s so glad that’s not a dream as they kiss.

Stefan enters the living room of the DiMera Mansion and pours a drink. EJ walks in and asks why the hell he called him so late. Stefan takes his drink and then tells EJ that he needs his help.

Roman and Kate wear hats and sunglasses as Roman promises her that no one followed them. They arrive at the monastery where Lucas is being kept. Lucas answers the door wearing a monk’s robe as disguise. Kate hugs him and says she’s so happy to see him and thankful that he is safe. Roman asks how he’s settling in. Lucas calls it a simple lifestyle and quiet. Kate acknowledges it as lonely while Roman points out that it’s better than prison. Lucas responds that it’s a lifestyle he’s not cut out for. Kate jokes that she thought he would love it and calls him Brother Lucas.

Tripp tells Wendy that when they get out, he’s going to take her to an all-day spa. Tripp decides he can’t stand just sitting here anymore. Wendy tells him they will imagine another trip then.

Ava knows John and Steve think this is madness. John and Steve refuse to break Clyde out of prison. Ava argues that they have no other choice or else Clyde will kill Tripp and Wendy, so they have no other option unless they have a brilliant idea. Ava says she’s open to suggestions and asks what they have.

EJ tells Stefan that he can’t be serious about asking for his help. EJ tells him to forget it because whatever he’s done now is not his problem. Stefan pleads with him as the only family he has left. EJ says they’ve been through this all before. Stefan says he tried to avoid the dark path but things got out of control and now he needs EJ’s help or it’s the end for him. EJ asks what he’s talking about. Stefan then reveals to EJ that he shot Harris Michaels. Stefan asks EJ to say anything. EJ asks what he’s supposed to say. Stefan suggests asking him how or why. EJ asks what the bloody hell, arguing that he just confessed to attempted murder of a police officer. EJ questions what in God’s name he was thinking. Stefan argues that with the position he was in, he had no choice. EJ tells him not to try selling that to him as there’s always a choice. Stefan says not this time as Clyde ordered him to kill Harris or else Gabi would face the consequences. EJ complains that Gabi brings nothing but trouble and misery yet he clings to her. EJ asks how the hell it came to this. Stefan says it just snowballed and now things are worse because Harris is alive which means he didn’t finish the job, so because he failed, Clyde is coming for him.

Kate and Roman joke with Lucas. Lucas says he could listen to them all day as it’s entertaining since he doesn’t have anything. Kate says she’s sure he could wander the grounds. Lucas jokes about Kate not being struck by lightning when she entered the building. Roman jokes about the idea of Lucas joining the priesthood. Kate encourages Lucas to keep things going as they have been. Lucas assures he will be under his best behavior so Kate tells him to make her proud.

Wendy and Tripp continue to imagine their road trip through Italy.

Ava goes over Clyde’s call again to Steve and John. Steve asks if Clyde revealed any clues about where Tripp and Wendy are but Ava says he didn’t. John questions how Clyde expects her to break him out of prison. Ava informs him that Clyde told her to call up her family. John laughs off the idea of getting the mafia involved and complains that he can’t think of a more dangerous idea than letting Clyde back in to the world. Steve adds that there’s no guarantee that Clyde will hold up his end of the deal. Ava argues that they have to try because it could be the only way they see their son again. Ava says that Clyde made his instructions very clear, so they don’t have time to ponder as the clock is ticking as they speak. John and Steve talk about making progress on the video but Ava complains that they are no closer and the cops haven’t found anything. Ava tells Steve that they need to do this as they have no other option but to break Clyde out of prison today and she needs his help. Steve questions why she had to get mixed up with Clyde in the first place. Ava tells him to go ahead and blame her but Tripp is innocent, so if Steve doesn’t help her and Tripp dies, he will be the one to blame. Ava questions if Steve can live with himself if that happens.

Kate asks Lucas how he’s occupying his time. Lucas says he was in charge of the vegetable garden but he overwatered so now he gets to do laundry. Lucas says it keeps him busy as he’s very bored without a phone. Kate shows that they gave him chips, cookies, and toiletries. Kate adds that Doug sent him some books and encourages Lucas to give it a try. Roman notes that Doug thinks Lucas is back in prison. Lucas agrees that the fewer people know, the better and says he’ll give the books a try for Doug. Lucas says he misses his life and his family. Kate promises that he will get it all back.

EJ tells Stefan that he seriously doubts their gene pool truly overlaps. Stefan tells him to spare him the insults. Stefan knows he made a terrible mistake but Harris is leaning on him now because he knows he was the shooter and he wants him to help take Clyde out. EJ remarks that the plot thickens. Stefan complains that it gets him killed because if he helps the cops take out Clyde, he’s a dead man. EJ says that sounds like his problem. Stefan yells at EJ to have a heart for once. Stefan says he came to EJ because this has spun so far out of control and he thought maybe his brother would have an ounce of empathy for him. Stefan brings up EJ not helping him when he first came to him. EJ warns him not to try to blame him for this. Stefan says he’s simply saying that with EJ’s help, this situation would not have gotten out of control but he stupidly pulled the trigger and this began to unravel. Stefan declares that he’s out of options, this is life or death and he has nothing left. Stefan asks what the hell he’s supposed to do. EJ responds that Stefan is not going to do anything as he’s going to call the police.

Tripp and Wendy continue to imagine being in Italy. Tripp tells her that as long as she’s beside him, it doesn’t matter where he spends the night. Tripp assures Wendy that together, they can survive anything. They then hear noise from outside.

Steve accuses Ava of emotional blackmail. Ava asks where else she’s supposed to go. Ava says she’s apologized and begged. Ava admits she’s a bad person who has made bad choices and been a fool. Steve stops her and says berating herself won’t help Tripp. Steve says they can’t panic here. Steve knows they are scared but they have to focus on finding Tripp and Wendy. John tells Steve that they are running out of options, so they can continue trying to dissect the video or maybe it’s time to consider other options. Steve responds that if they do this, they have to be all in. John assures him that he has his back. Steve then decides if breaking Clyde out of prison is the only way to bring Tripp and Wendy home safely, then that’s what they are going to do.

EJ tells Stefan that he will call Rafe to give him a heads up that Stefan is going to the police station to turn himself in or maybe Rafe will come pick him up. Stefan asks if EJ is out of his mind, arguing that he knows going to the cops is a surefire way to get he and Gabi killed. EJ warns him to lower his voice since Holly and Nicole are asleep. Stefan says if Stefano was still alive, he would tell EJ to stand by him and do the right thing despite their differences and his mistakes, he would say to preserve family at all costs.

Kate, Roman, and Lucas play poker. Lucas asks if there’s any news on Harris. Kate informs him that Harris came out of his coma. Roman adds that Harris looks like he will recover fully. Lucas asks about the investigation, the guy who shot at him, and the fire at the Horton house. Kate says they all know who was behind that. Roman declares that Clyde is determined to burn Salem to the ground and everything with it. Lucas asks if there’s any head way on the investigation. Roman responds that the police are keeping it tight lipped which he thinks that’s a good move because it lets them do their job without letting anyone know. Kate argues that Clyde has to pay. Lucas declares that as long as Clyde’s still alive and not paying for what he’s done, then Lucas will have a target on his back.

Wendy and Tripp wonder what the noise is outside. They try screaming for help.

EJ questions Stefan conveniently invoking their father’s name to coerce him into mopping up his mess. Stefan argues that EJ has implored the same strategy at times. EJ agrees to help Stefan but there is no get out of jail free card. EJ declares that in exchange for his services, Stefan will sign over all of his DiMera shares to him as well as all of his holdings. Stefan argues that he would have nothing left. EJ points out that at least he’d be alive so he believes it would be more than a fair trade. EJ tells him to think it over and let him know his answer. Stefan argues that he can’t be serious. EJ reminds him of when he and Gabi did the exact same thing to him. EJ mocks Stefan and tells him that this is his deal, take it or leave it. Stefan asks what he gets in return. EJ asks if he means besides his life. EJ says he’ll have him transferred to a secure location and arrange him a passage out of the country. EJ says he’ll share his other ideas in time and asks if he has any other questions. Stefan says he has to keep Gabi safe and the only way to protect her is to give EJ everything that’s rightfully his. Stefan then agrees to give EJ all his shares and everything he wants, giving him his word that it’s all his. EJ responds that his word is worthless but his signature on a binding contract is pure gold. EJ agrees to draw something up for their arrangement.

Lucas asks how the Horton house rebuild is coming. Kate says not fast enough for Julie and Doug but Chad is handling the contractors. Roman says that Julie wants to restore the house to it’s original look to honor the past. Roman thinks it will be a challenge but that Julie can handle it. Roman tells Lucas that he talked Kate into doing her first 5K run. Lucas jokes that Kate doesn’t wear sneakers. Kate says she heard the prize is a $5000 bottle of wine and jokes that she’s highly motivated. Lucas says it’s nice to see them making plans and living their life to the fullest. Kate knows Lucas is bored and lonely but promises this won’t last forever. Kate asks if Lucas has been thinking about his future and what he will do when he’s a free man. Lucas admits he’d love to start a new chapter in his life with a new venture but it will be tough if he doesn’t get his freedom which he feels he probably won’t get. Roman argues that he doesn’t know that. Kate knows it’s hard on Lucas as he misses his family. Kate praises Lucas being brave through his time in prison and says she’s been so proud of him. Kate declares that when Lucas is free, all of his family will make up for lost time and celebrate his return. Kate cries that they will shower him with love and affection. Lucas says he can handle that.

Ava asks John and Steve how they are going to pull this off. John says they need blueprints of the prison and what kind of security system they have. Steve says that’s if they had more time. John asks what if it is that easy to make Clyde disappear. Steve asks if he has a plan. John thinks he might.

Tripp and Wendy continue to try screaming for help but the noise stops. Tripp then realizes the vents have been closed and he no longer feels any air movement, so they are sealed in as Wendy starts to cry.

Lucas jokes about Roman and Kate’s disguises, asking if they are sure no one followed them. Kate assures that Roman did at least three 180s on their drive over to make sure no one followed. Roman guarantees they were not trailed. Kate goes over everything they left with Lucas and adds that there’s a note from Julie in one of the books. Lucas thanks them for the supplies and for coming to see him, adding that he really misses them. Kate hugs Lucas and says she really misses him too. Roman hugs him and says it was good to spend time with him. Kate hopes Lucas will be out very soon. Lucas admits he’s kind of nervous about that and asks what happens when this is all over and Clyde is gone, does he go home or back to prison?

EJ presents Stefan with a contract with all the points that they agreed upon. EJ signs the contract and then hands the pen to Stefan. Stefan complains that Stefano would never approve of this. EJ argues that it’s straight out of his playbook. EJ states that Stefan thought he could handle Clyde and manage Harris but he was wrong. EJ adds that his help is Stefan’s only hope left, so this is what it costs. EJ tells Stefan that it’s the eleventh hour and time to wise up as he instructs him to sign the contract. Stefan then signs the contract which pleases EJ.

Steve wishes there was another way. Ava says they’ve established that there isn’t so she asks John what his plan is. John says he needs to get back to the office for supplies. Ava asks what she can do. John responds that they are going to need help from her family members if they are going to pull this off. Ava says she will make sure.

Wendy begins to panic about the vents closing. Tripp tries to encourage that they have time. Wendy argues that they won’t have long. Tripp tells her they will be okay and hugs her, trying to keep her calm. Wendy argues that they have to get the hell out of here or they will die.

Update written by Joseph

In the hospital, Lani reads to Paulina about heart transplants. Paulina says whatever happens, happens while Abe encourages that they are all here for her. Lani declares they are not going anywhere until she gets the call that they’ve found her a heart. Marlena enters and greets them. Lani comments on it being so good to be home. Paulina is surprised that Marlena came and tells her that she needs to talk to her.

Ava runs in to Rafe in the town square and asks if he has any leads. Rafe says nothing concrete but promises that his people are doing everything they can to track down Tripp and Wendy. Rafe assumes Ava hasn’t heard anything which she confirms. Rafe tells Ava to let him know if she does and assumes she’s using her connections to find out anything. Ava assures that she will do anything she can to find her son. Rafe says he gets it but warns her to be careful and not cross the lines.

Harris climbs back into the hospital bed in pain. Officer Goldman returns to his room and seems shocked to see Harris awake. Harris looks at her and declares “it’s you”. Goldman then panics and rushes out of the room as a nurse enters.

Julie is at the burnt Horton House, on the phone with Doug. Julie says she’s been wandering around trying to find a key to open Alice’s time capsule. Julie assures that she’s being careful and that she’ll be home soon. Julie is then startled by a noise and grabs a fireplace poker as she sees someone outside.

Marlena tells Paulina that she’s here and happy to talk to her. Paulina clarifies that she wants to talk alone so Abe and Lani go to get some coffee. Marlena then asks Paulina what she wants to talk about. Paulina responds that she’s scared.

Ava tells Rafe that she’ll do her job and he will do his, arguing that this is not the day to mess with her as she’s a mother and her son is missing. Rafe says he was just offering helpful advice. Ava apologizes for snapping at him as she’s just on edge. Rafe gets a text from Harris to come quick and tells Ava that he has to go on police business. Rafe turns to leave as Officer Goldman walks by. Rafe calls out to her but she keeps on walking.

Everett enters the Horton House where he and Julie scare each other. Julie questions what he’s doing there. Everett says he was driving by and he saw a light so he thought someone had broken in. Julie says she thought he was the arsonist that came back to finish the job. Julie thinks anything is possible after the threatening phone call that Chad got. Everett questions what she is doing here all alone at this hour. Julie explains that she’s obsessed because while the family was checking out the damage, they found a time capsule in the fireplace that her grandparents put together in 1966. Everett asks if she’s opened it. Julie says that’s the problem as the locksmith couldn’t figure out how to open it either without forcing it, which might break it and ruin whatever is inside. Julie notes that Tom loved puzzles and this is not the first time he challenged the family with something like this, so she wants to open it the way he intended. Everett says he gets that but questions what she is actually doing here. Julie thought if she looked around quietly by herself, she might find a clue or a secret little key to open it. Everett asks if she wants some help.

Lani asks Abe what Paulina wanted to talk to Marlena about. Abe says he doesn’t know, but guesses that she’s worried sick and hopes that Marlena can offer some comfort. Abe states that they are battling against time and admits this is completely out of their hands. Abe calls Paulina their rock and their core, so they can’t afford to lose her. Lani assures that they won’t as they hug.

Paulina tells Marlena that everyone keeps telling her she’s strong and a fighter as she’ll make it through, but she’s not feeling strong, just scared. Paulina says she loves her life, her family, her job, and her friends, so it’s the thought of leaving all that. Marlena encourages that she has a lot of years ahead of her and a lot of living to do. Marlena points out that heart recipients are living so much longer now and that can happen for her as well. Marlena knows they will fight hard to find her the right donor. Marlena calls it natural to feel frightened but also strong at the same time. Marlena points out that Paulina has a family that loves her and is standing by her. Marlena suggests letting her family know that she’s frightened and what she’s going through so they can comfort her. Paulina is not sure that she wants anyone to know what she’s going through. Paulina says it may be because she’s physically weak, but she’s having a hard time clinging to hope as her fighting spirit is eluding her and her mind keeps fast forwarding to a future where she won’t be here anymore. Paulina cries about not being there for her husband, daughter, or friends. Paulina asks if Marlena can help her feel more hopeful and to stop fast forwarding to darkness.

Rafe goes to see Harris in the hospital and asks what’s going on. Harris tells Rafe that he’s not going to believe it, but their mole is Officer Goldman. Rafe asks if he’s serious, pointing out that he just passed by her and she blew him off. Rafe asks how he knows it’s her. Harris responds that someone tried to kill him and she allowed it to happen, shocking Rafe.

Everett finds a lantern in the garage to use. Julie asks if he’s sure he wants to spend his evening with an old lady looking for clues, feeling there has to be something more exciting for a young man like him. Everett says he loves a good mystery and that curiosity is half the reason he became a journalist. Julie asks what the other half. Everett says it’s his burning desire to spread the truth. Everett says a time capsule discovery would make a great story. Julie says not if she can’t open it. Julie comments on Everett looking so much like her cousin Nick Fallon, who was a very promising young man until he lost his way. Everett asks what happened to him. Julie responds that he sadly went over to the dark side. Everett remarks that her family has fascinating stories and he’d love to hear more some time, feeling the house must be bursting with interesting tales. Julie suggests moving on to modern times and asks what’s the story with he and Stephanie and if he thinks there’s a future there.

Marlena encourages that Paulina will see herself as the healthy and vibrant woman she’s always been. Paulina thanks her for giving her perspective and comfort. Paulina admits she’s feeling a bit stronger after taking in all that she said. Marlena is glad to hear and tells her to take this time to enjoy her loved ones. Paulina feels her fighting spirit is winning over the fera thanks to Marlena.

Rafe questions Harris saying someone tried to kill him here. Harris explains that it was a man in a surgical mask who tried to inject something in to his IV but he fought him off. Harris claims he couldn’t detain him and that the man took off, but then Officer Goldman was standing there looking shocked that he was alive, so obviously she let the man in. Rafe calls it unreal and says that explains why she blew him off in the town square. Harris comments on her being a double agent. Rafe is thankful that Harris is okay and says he’ll put a new guard at the door. Rafe adds that what happened today puts a new spin on Xander being the assassin and suggests that maybe it was the guy who shot Harris that came back today to try and finish the job. Harris calls that very possible. Rafe says there’s a lot to dig in to. Harris notes that first, they have to find Goldman.

Goldman trashes her uniform in the park and then calls Clyde. Clyde orders her to speak and asks if it’s done. She responds that Harris is still alive. Clyde is shocked and questions if he has a guardian angel or something. Clyde asks what the hell happened this time. Goldman responds that she doesn’t know and suggests maybe Stefan chickened out. Clyde feels maybe he double crossed him. She notes that she saw him run off and then reveals that she could tell by the way Harris looked at her that he knows. Clyde asks why she didn’t take him out. She says a nurse walked in and there were too many witnesses, so she had to take off. Clyde decides he has to move up the timeline then and says she knows what she has to do next. Goldman asks about Tripp and Wendy, pointing out that they’ve seen her face and they know who she is. Clyde responds that it’s her problem and suggests she solve it fast as he then hangs up.

Everett fills Julie in on Jada having a wedding photo of them. They agree that it’s crazy. Everett thought he must just look like the guy like twins. Julie says it does happen, pointing out Adrienne and Bonnie looking almost identical. Everett agrees but says that Jada was hellbent on proving that he was Bobby Stein, so she ran his fingerprints and he can’t believe it, but they came up as a match to Bobby’s. Julie points out that fingerprints don’t lie. Everett says he knows that and that’s why it’s such a nightmare for him. Everett adds that there are gaps in his memory from the accident but questions how he could forget that much of his life, noting it doesn’t make sense. Julie agrees, unless he’s lying.

Lani tells Abe that it warms her heart how much he loves Paulina after everything that has happened. They agree that it was a miracle to find their way back. Lani says that Abe and Paulina’s love for each other gives her hope and reminds her that even through the darkest times, they can still find a way to push to the light.

Marlena tells Paulina that a person who donates their heart or other organs when they die is never coerced and do that because it’s their wish. Marlena calls it a kind and enormous gesture, feeling it lets part of them continue on in the world after they’re gone. Marlena encourages Paulina to have no guilt. Paulina talks about Marlena always being so good to her. Marlena says it’s always been her honor to be there for her. Marlena thinks Paulina needs to rest now which she agrees with. Paulina declares that she feels at peace now and finally knows what she needs to do next.

Rafe calls to be on the lookout for Rebecca Goldman. Harris says the department is going to be blown away when they find out. Rafe says it’s all starting to make sense now and explains why she shot the drug dealer during the raid. Harris points out that if she didn’t shoot the dealer, he would’ve let them straight to Clyde.

Ava goes home and calls Steve, leaving a message in hopes that he made progress on the video from Tripp. Ava complains that waiting is killing her and asks him to call her back, hopefully to tell her that he found their son. Ava then pours herself a drink. Ava hears a phone ring but sees it isn’t her phone and wonders where the hell it’s coming from. Ava searches the apartment and finds a phone in a drawer under some magazines. She answers the call from an unknown caller.

Everett assures Julie that he would never deceive anyone as it’s just not who he is and he’s always tried to be a good person who is caring, loyal, and hard working. Everett hopes that Julie believes him because he thinks she’s a wonderful person and he needs someone to believe him and not hate him. Julie asks why she would hate him and tells him that she does believe him. Everett thanks her. Julie says she’ll tell him a Horton family story. Julie talks about her uncle Tommy going off to serve in the Korean war and when he did not come home, they all assumed he was dead but years later, he appeared in Salem with her uncle Bill and neither one of them knew they were brothers. Julie explains that while overseas, Tommy developed amnesia and his face was disfigured while a prisoner of war and then he got plastic surgery so he looked completely different and had another name; Dr. Mark Brooks. Everett asks how he figured out who he really was. Julie informs him of Tom and Nikki launching an investigation after Alice noticed a birthmark on the back of Tommy’s neck. Everett calls it very interesting. Julie says in the end, it was heartwarming. Julie jokes that she hopes Everett doesn’t find out in his story that he and Stephanie are related. Julie tells him that she’s very sorry for what he’s going through and what a blow it must be to Stephanie. Everett calls that the hardest part as she is really hurt and confused. Everett complains that he just got her back and now he’s lost her again, maybe forever. Julie says either way, he has to find out about his past or else he’ll never be free.

Lani and Abe return to Paulina’s hospital room. Marlena says she should get going. Lani thanks her for coming and hopes to see her soon. Marlena says she’ll be thinking of all of them. Marlena tells Paulina that she will see her very soon. Paulina thanks her again. Marlena adds that they are in this together as she exits. Abe asks if Paulina is feeling better. Paulina responds that she needs something and asks Lani to get her laptop which she questions. Paulina reveals that she wants Lani to help her draft her last will and testament.

Rafe questions how he could miss the signs as he trusted Goldman completely. Harris points out that she fooled everybody. Rafe wonders why she would do this. Harris suggests Clyde could have something on her, forcing her to do his work. Rafe says whatever it is has to be big and worries that Clyde could have judges or other cops. Harris says they have to bring Goldman in, break her down, and get her to tell them if she has accomplices. Rafe decides they will do that and use her to bring Clyde to his knees. Rafe declares that they will end that monster once and for all.

Ava answers the call and complains about Clyde taking her son after everything she’s done for him. Clyde asks what about what she hasn’t done and remarks that Tripp not being with her right now is nobody’s fault but her own. Ava warns that if he hurts Tripp, she will personally drive a semi truck through prison to choke the life out of him. Clyde tells Ava to do exactly what he says and Tripp will be fine.

Paulina says she knows she should’ve had a will made up a long time ago but while waiting for a new heart, she needs to make sure her affairs are in order. Lani says she understands. Lani and Abe add that they will have wills made up as well. Paulina says to let her be first and tells Lani that she will dictate to her while she takes notes. Paulina then begins telling Lani what to type as her last will and testament.

Julie tells Everett that this has been fun but she has to call it a night. Everett says they can pick it up another time. Julie mentions calling Doug and that he was very glad to hear that Everett was taking care of her. Everett says it was his pleasure and talks about how wonderful Doug and Julie have been to him since he got to town. Julie calls him a great guy and hopes to hear all about it if he finds out the secret of his past. Everett comments on word spreading fast in Salem. Julie knows that the truth will give him peace of mind. Everett thanks Julie as she exits the house.

Rafe tells Harris that he said he was going to put a new guard outside but questions who he can trust. Rafe says he could call in someone from another agency but it feels like Clyde has people everywhere. Harris says he can take care of himself and asks Rafe to just bring him his gun.

Clyde tells Ava that this stays between them, no cops and no Stefan. Clyde orders Ava to break him out of prison. Ava asks if he’s out of his mind and how the hell she’s supposed to pull that off. Clyde says it’s time for her to shapeshift in to the Vitali mob princess and call her family. Ava refuses but Clyde warns that if he’s not out of prison in 24 hours, Tripp will be pushing up daisies. Clyde then hangs up and Ava screams in frustration.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

It was from Clyde Weston.

Thank God you guys are here. So what’s the emergency? Did you get another video? Not a video, a call. From Tripp? If only. It was from Clyde Weston. He said if I ever want to see my son again, I need to break him out of prison. In the next 24 hours.

Oh, God. My neck.

What I wouldn’t give for a nice fluffy pillow. I’m imagining you and I on a road trip to Italy right now. After Paris? Mm hmm. So then our trip continues. Oh, definitely. Right now we’re sitting at the most Wonderful cafe eating the most delicious pasta in Rome. Oh, the sauce is magnificent. Brought Diablo by any chance?

Mm. Topped with tons of grated Parmigiano. Oh. Oof. You have some pretty deliciously vivid dreams. Yeah, well it sure beats reality right now. You mean you don’t like being locked inside a fermenter? I will say the, the one thing that makes this nightmare bearable is having you right beside me.

Same here. I’m so glad that’s not a dream.

What the hell, Stefan? Why did you call me so late?

One sec.

Okay. Here goes.

EJ?

I need your help.

So you’re sure that no one followed us? Kate, I was a cop most of my life, I promise you. We’re clear. Okay. Well, I think this is it.

Ah, there he is. Good evening, brother.

Very funny, mom.

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

Honey, I’m so happy to see you. I’m, thank God that you’re safe. Yes, so far I am safe. Are you settling in, Lucas? Well, there’s not much settling in. You know, this is a pretty simple lifestyle here. Yeah, it’s kind of quiet. It’s quiet, yeah. But I hear a lot of stuff, you know. Like I am a humble man of the cloth, lost and confused, taking a vow of silence, renewing my faith in God, but yet no one looks at me or even talks to me ever.

Honey, I guess I was lonely. Mm hmm. What? Better than Statesville. Yes, Roman, it is better than Statesville, I cannot argue with that. But, you know, this is one lifestyle that I’m not cut out for, so, you know. No? No. My darling son, my shy, retiring darling son, my god knows hates attention. This isn’t the kind of lifestyle, I don’t know, that my son the introvert would love.

Look, she’s a riot, isn’t she? Look at you. Yeah, I don’t know, because, you know, like, brother Lucas is kind of, that rings a nice bell, doesn’t it?

You know, when we get out of here, I’m taking you to one of those spas, like the all day job kind of things, where you get the works, you know, massage, manicures, that thing with the crap, like white crap all over your face. They’re called facials. Dr. Dupin’s Charms. And I also wanted my bath. Anything your heart desires.

So then what do you get when we get out of here? Three weeks sitting on the couch watching March Madness. I could have guessed.

I just, I, I, I can’t stand sitting here anymore. I’m going, I’m going, Buggy. Okay. Uh, we can’t have that. So then, pack your imaginary bags, Trip Johnson, because We are going on yet another trip. Okay, well then, I’m psyched, Wendy Shin, because my bags are packed and I’m ready for our next adventure. Yeah. Look, I know you think this is madness.

Well, you got that right. We’re not breaking that murderer out of prison. Hard no for me, too. Okay, but we don’t have any other choice. Don’t you get it? If we don’t break Clyde out, he is going to kill Trip. And Wendy. Okay, see, we have no other option here. I mean, unless you guys have some, some brilliant idea.

I mean, I’m open to suggestions.

What do you got?

You want my help? You can’t be serious. EJ, please, just hear me out. Forget it. Whatever you’ve done now, Stefan, not my problem. EJ, please, I need your help. You are the only family I got left. We’ve been through this all before, Stefan. You scutter around like a brainless roach slipping in and out of the darkness.

And then, somebody turns on the light. Oh no, you panic right before they step on you with a crunch. Please, I tried to avoid the dark path I did, but things got out of control. And EJ, I need your help. Or what? Gabby might suffer another broken neck. I need your help or it’s the end for me.

What are you talking about? I did it. Hey, Jay.

I shot Harris Michaels.

Say something. Anything! What am I supposed to say? I don’t know, maybe start with how? Why? How about What the bloody hell? My brother just confessed to attempted murder of a police officer. What in God’s name were you thinking? E. J., you knew the position I was in. I had no choice. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you keep telling yourself that, Stefan.

But don’t try selling that bridge to me. There’s always a choice. Not this time. Clyde ordered me to kill Harris, or Gabby would face the consequences. Oh, Gabby, Gabby, Gabby. Who brings nothing but trouble and misery into our lives, yet you cling to that woman. How in the hell did it come to this, Stefan? I don’t know.

Okay, it just snowballed. And now things are worse, because Harris is alive. How is that worse? Because I didn’t finish the job! And because of that, because I failed, now Clyde is coming from me,

accommodations or queen. Yeah. But, uh, that minimalist look, you know, very trendy. Please judge. Absolutely. Yeah. Your mom suckers me into watching those house design shows with. Oh, come on, you know you love learning about interior design. I do love curling up on the couch with you. I wish we could watch a little baseball, but whatever makes my Katie happy.

Sure. Oh my God, do I have a good husband or what? Yeah. You know, the next time a baseball game is on, I am going to watch a round with you. A round? All right then. What? Why are you smiling? Why are you laughing? Nothing. No, I could just listen to you guys all day. It’s entertaining. Listen to you talk about anything.

Because, you know, I don’t have any TV or radio or music or anything like that. Honey, I’m sure you could wander around the grounds. I mean, the scenery is really quite lovely. I mean, we saw it because the abbot took us for a tour, you know, before he sends us down here to visit you, so. You had a visit with the abbot?

I would have paid money to see that. What? Your mother can’t mind her pees and queues with a man of God? Well, I don’t know. I don’t know. I thought you’d be struck down by lightning as soon as you entered the building. But, good for you. Glass houses, my friend. Glass houses. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, you’re right.

You’re right. You know, when I had my visit with the abbot, you know what he told me? He wanted to discuss possible life changes. And thank God that my, uh, vow of silence kicked in so I could put the kibosh on that for a while. Recruitment into the priesthood. Interesting idea, don’t you think? For me? Really?

Why? Because I’m such an introvert, like Mom said earlier? I don’t like women? Why? What am I missing? I’ve been in jail, now I’m here. What does it matter? Okay, uh, uh, listen. I don’t think you should forget that this monastery and the inhabitants are keeping you safe. So if I were you, I would do everything I possibly could to keep it going that way.

I will. But celibacy. I’m drawing the line there. I’m not doing that. Sorry. But you know what? Anything else, I’m gonna be great. I’m gonna be like a rockstar rookie monk. You should see it. I mean, you just wait and see. Wow. Hey, you’re gonna make your mommy proud.

And now, we are going to take a road trip. To pizza. Mm. Yeah. Ooh, okay. Come on in. And a slick little stick shift speedster, huh? Oh, yeah. With the top down and the wind in our hair. Okay, so pizza. So we’re busy in the tower, right? Uh, of course. Oh, mama mia! There it is! Look at how tall it is. Oh, it’s taller than I expected.

Yeah. Huh. Okay. You ready to climb up to the top? I thought you were afraid of heights. A little, but this is a Leaning Tower of Pisa baby, so I’m gonna brave it. Okay? Okay. Oh, wow. Okay, these, uh, These steps are getting really narrow. Oh, sure are. Eight floors up. This is exhausting. Yeah. Oh. Okay. We’re at the top.

Let’s go out on the balcony and take a look. That is only four feet wide. Seriously? Four feet wide? Yeah.

Alright, let’s, uh, let’s take this from the beginning here. How did Wesson get a hold of you in the first place? Okay, so I had come home from a walk and nobody was here, obviously. I had just, I had called you, I had left a message, and then a second later, the phone rang again. I thought it was mine at first.

But it wasn’t. So, so I was searching around the apartment, and I found a burner phone, and Clyde was on the other end. Someone obviously broke in here. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was planning on it. Right. Yeah, so that video said that she was being monitored. Right, so what did Clyde say? Oh, God. Well, he made it really clear that if I wanted to see my son again, I needed to break him out of prison.

Okay, did, did he, did he reveal Tripp’s location? No. Any clues? No. Does he expect you to break him out of Statesville? He told me I needed to call my family and get reacquainted with them. That’s it, let’s get the mafia involved here, dammit Ava. I can’t think of a more dangerous move than releasing that monster back into the world.

You know what, there is no guarantee that Weston is gonna hold up his end of the deal. You know that, right? Okay, what I know, Steve, is we have to try. Because this could be the only way we see our son again.

Clyde made his instructions very clear, so let me be clear with the two of you. We don’t have time to ponder. The clock is ticking as we speak. We’re making progress on the video. We’re running it through various recognition programs. Okay, but nothing definitive yet, right? No, not yet. Okay, great. So we are no closer to saving Tripp and Wendy than we were before.

And the cops sure as hell haven’t found anything. Come on, Steve. Steve, we need to do this. Okay, we don’t have any other options. I need to break that bastard out of Statesville today. And I need your help. Dammit, Ava, why did you have to get mixed up with Weston in the first place? Okay, you want to blame me?

Go ahead. Go ahead and blame me. That is fine. Alright, I have made some really bad mistakes when it comes to Clyde Weston, okay? But our son? Our son is innocent. So if you don’t help me pull this off and he dies, then you are going to be the one to blame. And I’m not so sure that you can live with yourself if that happens.

Can you? So,

how are you occupying your time here? Oh, it’s been great, actually. Um, I was in charge of the vegetable garden. Oh. Yeah, but I killed all the seedlings. I didn’t know. I guess you’re not supposed to do that. So now I get to hang out in the laundry room and do laundry. You? Laundry? Yeah. Laundry. I’m a pro now.

I can fold like a madman. All four corners meet and everything. Yeah, well, I can only imagine that. Yeah, well, it keeps me busy, you know, because after I’m done with work, I’m very bored. Because I don’t have a phone. Or anything. Or a baby. But we brought you supplies. What’d you bring me? Yeah, well, let’s see.

First, some treats. So there’s chips, there’s cookies, beef jerky. And in here, a razor, toothbrush, toiletries, a lot of other stuff, but here, Doug sent you books. Salvaged, yeah, from his library. And he said that you’re to start with this one.

Ah, the Counts. The Counts of Monte Cristo. Boy, I can’t wait to dive into this with both feet. Come on, Lucas, you can give it a try. Hey, um, Doug thinks you’re back. State’s phone protective custody, by the way. I guess the fewer people know where I am, the better. All right, I’ll give the Count a try for Doug.

I’m only doing this for Doug. Okay, well you know he’s going to really appreciate it. Yeah. I do miss everyone. I miss my life. I miss my family. I know you do. And you’re gonna get it back. You’re gonna get it all back. I promise you that.

At this moment, I am having serious doubts that Al Jean Pooh truly overlaps. Okay, EJ, spare me the insults. Please. I know I made a terrible mistake, and for that, I feel profoundly But Harris is leaning on me now because he knows that I’m the shooter. He wants me to help them take Clyde out. Oh, he knows you’re the shooter.

Wow. The plot certainly does thicken. Okay, it does more than just thicken, Wiseass. It gets me killed. Because if I help the cops take Clyde out, I’m a dead man. Right. Well, that sounds like a you problem. Oh my god, EJ, have a heart, could you? For once?

I came to you because this thing has spun so far out of control. And because you were my brother and I thought maybe, just maybe, you would have an ounce of empathy for me. Not to mention if you would help me out the first time when I came to you. Oh, no, no, no. Don’t you dare try and blame me for this. I’m not.

I’m not trying to blame you for anything. I am simply saying, that with your help, this situation would not have gotten out of control. But stupidly, I pulled that trigger, and this thing began to unravel. And now, I’m out of options. This is life and death. I’ve got nobody left. I’ve got nothing left. I mean, what the hell am I supposed to do?

You’re not going to do anything. I’m going to call the police.

Sure is cold up here. Oh, but just take a look at that view. It’s breathtaking. I’ve never seen a more beautiful sunset.

I really am a total Dr. Doofenshmirtz, aren’t I? I wouldn’t have it any other way.

So, where are we going now? Well then, let’s just drive by the coast, find a little feel out we can spend the night in. Yeah, okay. Okay. I’m ready. Oh, I love this car. Uh oh. The car broke down. No, not the roaster. Damn it. I guess we’re just going to have to spend the night. Here, just, uh, gazing up at the stars.

Hey, well, as long as I have you right beside me, it doesn’t matter where I spend the night.

Yeah, I feel the same way.

We’re gonna survive this. Right.

Together, we can survive anything.

Emotional blackmail? Really? That’s where you’re going with this? Okay, where else am I supposed to go with this? I mean, I, I have apologized. I have begged. I know, I will admit to you that I am a bad person. I have made bad choices. I’ve been a damn fool about all Stop. Stop. Berating yourself isn’t gonna help anybody, especially not Tripp.

Now come on, we can’t panic here. I know you’re scared, I’m scared too. But we have to focus on what’s important, and that’s finding Tripp and Wendy. Right. Hey partner

We’re running out of options here

Now we can continue trying to dissect this video Or maybe it’s time that we Consider other options John, if we do this, we have to be all in. I got your back, buddy.

Alright. If breaking Weston out of prison is the only way to bring Tripp and Wendy home safely, then that’s what we’re gonna do.

I’ll call Ray for giving the heads up that you’re headed to the station to turn yourself in. Oh my god. Although, come to think of it He might be open to picking you up right here. Are you out of your mind? You know that going to the cops, EJ, is a surefire way to get me and Gabby killed. I mean, come on!

We’re family! Lower your voice, dammit. Holly and Nicole are asleep.

You know, if father was still alive, he would tell you to stand by me, and to do the right thing. But despite our differences, Despite my mistakes, he would tell you to preserve family at all costs.

All right, I’ll call you almonds, raise you two cashes. Oh, come on, I’m out. Kate? I call. I have what I believe is down as a full house. Damn, I thought you were bluffing. That’s a poker face. Well, I learned from the best. Yeah, what the hell was I thinking teaching you how to be me at poker?

On another note, any news? Any news on Harris? Actually, there’s great news. He came out of his coma. Yeah, it looks like he’s going to recover fully. Right, but what about the investigation? I mean, what about the guy who took a shot at me? What about the fire at the Horton House? Well, we all know who’s behind that.

Clyde Weston is determined to burn Salem and everything in its wake to the ground. I know, but is there any headway on the investigation at all? The police are keeping a tight lip, and under the circumstances, I think that’s a good move. Let’s them do their job without letting everything out for Clyde and the whole world to look at.

But he has got to pay. I mean, he has to. Well, as long as he’s still alive and he’s not paying for what he’s done, there’s gonna be a target on my back. What the hell is going on doing out there? Why haven’t you opened the hatch yet? What if it isn’t Goldman? What if it’s your dad or someone who can help us?

Hey! We’re inside! Open the hatch, please! So you conveniently invoke our father’s name in an effort to coerce me into mopping up

your mess. I believe you’ve employed the same strategy with me from time to time.

I’ll help you, Stefan. But, there is no get out of jail free card with this little game. Just like our father, I believe in quid pro quo. So in exchange for my services, You will sign over all of your Demura shares to me. Along with all land holdings and all your offshore assets. You gotta be kidding me. E. J.

will have nothing left. I’ll be destitute. Destitute, yes, but alive. I believe it’s more than a fair trade. Take your time to consider my offer. You can’t be serious. Oh, I am just as serious as you and Gabby were when you did the exact same to me. Or did that slip your simple mind? You know, you should really rent out that space between your ears, Stefan.

My God, you would net a fortune. So this is your offer? Take it or leave it. No matter to me either way.

And what do I get in return? What, besides your life? I’ll have you transported to a safe and secure location. Arrange you passage out of the country. Care to be specific? Ideally, I’ll drop you in a country that doesn’t hold any extradition treaty with the U. S. I have some other ideas, but I will share them with you in all due time.

Any other questions?

Obviously I need to keep Gabby safe. The only way I can protect her And yourself, don’t you forget. Is to give you everything that’s rightfully mine.

Fine. It’s yours. All my shares, everything you want, it’s all yours. You have my word. Well, your word is worthless. But your signature on a binding contract, ooh, that is pure gold. I’ll write something up that will formalize our arrangement without any risk of misunderstanding.

How’s the Horton rebuild coming? Um, well, not fast enough for Julie and Doug, you know, but Chad is handling the insurance and contractors for the most part, so. Yeah, Julie wants to, uh, restore the house to its original look. Her way of honoring the past, but, uh, I mean, that’s gonna be a challenge, but I think Julie can handle it.

And speaking of challenges I talked your mom into a 5k run next month. How’s she gonna do that? She doesn’t wear sneakers. First time, yeah. Good luck. Stop, stop. I mean, I admit I was slow to commit, but then I heard there was the prize, which is a 5, 000 bottle of wine. So I thought, hell no. Of course I couldn’t throw my hat in the ring.

Your mother is a huge fan of the Margot, plus the winner gets a, uh, winemaker’s dinner to boot, so. How can you beat that? Yeah, right. We are both highly, highly motivated. It’s nice to see. It’s nice to see you guys making plans, living your life to the fullest. Lucas, I know that you’re bored. I mean, I know that you’re lonely, but this isn’t going to last forever.

It’s not. No. Have you been thinking about your future? What you’re going to do next when you’re a free man? I have. Yeah. I’d love to start a new chapter in my life, maybe a new venture of some kind. But, um, you know, it’s gonna be tough if I don’t get my freedom, which I probably won’t get. Lucas, you don’t know that.

I know this is hard on you. I mean, I know it is. Way too much idle time, just like you said. And, uh, you miss your family, and you just I mean, all that time that you’d have spent in prison, all of that. You’ve been so brave through all of it, and I’ve been so, so proud of you. I have. And when you’re a free man, all of your family, including your children who adore you, well, we’re gonna make up for, We’re gonna make up for lost time, honey.

Okay? We’re gonna celebrate your return. And we are going to shower you with so much love and affection. Love and affection. I can handle that.

Alright, now that we’re all on board, how are we gonna pull this off? Well, first of all, we need to get blueprints of the prison. We need to know What kind of security system they have in place? What kind of video system? Yeah, sure. Okay. You know, if we had more time, we could disappear Weston into thin air.

Yeah. Yeah. What if we can’t? What if it’s just that easy? What do you mean? You got a plan? I think I might. No! Let us out of here! Please! Please! Let us out of here! It stopped. I knew it. The vents are closed.

How can you tell?

I don’t feel any air movement.

We’re sealed in. Those

are your disguises? With that hat, you look like Audrey Hepburn, I’m sure. Well, that’s a, that’s a lovely compliment. Are you sure no one followed you guys in here? Okay, look. Roman did at least three 180s on our drive over here. So, to make sure there were no one, no one following us. Trust me, we were not trailed.

I guarantee it. Okay, so you have the supplies, the toiletries, the goodies, the treats, the books, the Count of Monte Cristo, don’t forget that. Also, there’s a note from Julie and I, um, I tucked it into one of the other books. Oh. All right, I’ll look for that. Thank you. Thanks for all my supplies, and thanks for coming to see me.

I really miss you guys. We really miss you, too.

Could

you spend some time with me, Lucas?

Hopefully you’re going to be out of here. You’re gonna be out of here really soon. Yeah, well, I’m kind of nervous about that. Why? What do you mean? Well, this is all over. And Clyde’s out of the way, I mean, what happens? Do I go home, or do I go back to Statesville?

There. This covers all points we agreed upon. Uh, excuse me.

I’ll sign here.

You sign that.

Father would never approve of this. Oh, please. This is straight out of Father’s playbook. You thought you could handle Clyde Weston. You were wrong. You thought you could manage Harris Michaels. Wrong again. My help is the only option you have left, and this is what it costs.

It’s the 11th hour, Stefan. Time to wise up. Sign it.

There is another way. Okay, well, there isn’t. We have no choice. We’ve already established that, Steve. So, John, spill. How are we gonna pull this off? I gotta get back to the office. I need some hardware, huh? Yeah, I have an equipment list in mind. I’m gonna have to hit up some of our vendors. Okay, what can I do?

We are gonna need help from your family members if we’re gonna pull this off. Okay. I’ll make sure they’re at the ready. No, no, no, no,

no, no, no. They can’t, of course. Depends if they close the vents. Then that means we won’t be free. We have time. We have time. Time? How much time? I don’t know. But you do know it’s not that long, right? Okay, maybe it is four minutes. No, no, no. I can’t. We’re gonna be okay. Okay. It’s okay. It’s okay. It’s okay.

Okay. He’s trying to stay calm now, okay? Okay. For God’s Drip, what we have to do, Is get the hell out of here. I know. We’re gonna die. We’re gonna die. We can’t We can’t

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Once you’re added to the National Organ Transplant Waitlist, you may receive an organ that day. Or you may wait.

I shouldn’t read any more of this. No, darling, you shouldn’t. But it won’t matter. It doesn’t make a difference what happens, happens. Meanwhile, we’re all here for you. And we’re not going anywhere, Mama, until you get that call saying that they found your heart. Hello, everyone. Oh, hello. Of course. I’m Marlena.

Oh, hi there. It’s so good to see you. It’s so good to be home with your family. Oh, it is so good to be home.

Hello, my friend. You came. Of course I came. Marlena, I need to talk to you.

Ava? Hey.

Do you have any leads? Well, same as when we spoke this morning. Nothing concrete. But I promise you my people are working, doing everything they can to track down Tripp and Wendy. Assume you haven’t heard anything? Um, no. Nothing. Okay, well let me know if you do. I know you pretty well, Ava. I assume you’re using your connection to do everything you can to find Tripp.

And what mother wouldn’t? I’m gonna do anything I can to find my son. I get it. Just be careful. Don’t cross any lines, okay?

Goldman. It’s you.

Yes, darling. I’m still here. Well, Doug, sweetie pie, I’ve been wandering around like crazy trying to find something that will open it, a little key or

Because this is not your garden variety time capsule. I’m being careful. I know. Well, I’ll be home soon. I love you too.

Like

sand through the hourglass, so days of our lives.

I’m here. I’m happy to talk to you. Alone?

Uh, yeah, we’ll go grab some coffee, huh? We’ll be back in about 10 minutes. Okay, Mom? Mm hmm. Take your time.

Okay, I’m here. What do you want to talk about? Marlena.

I’m scared.

Okay, you know what? I will do my job, and you do yours. Alright, Commissioner? Alright, you always got your back up, don’t you Eva? Okay, you know what, Rafe? This is not the day to mess with me, okay? I am a mother whose son is missing. Okay. I was just offering helpful advice.

Okay. Look, I’m sorry. I’m sorry I snapped at you. I am just, I am on edge. Obviously. Okay. I’m sorry. It’s okay. Yeah, I’m sorry. I gotta go. It’s, uh, police business.

Coleman! AHHHHH!

You scared me to death! Well, you give as good as you get. Everett! What were you doing here at this hour? I was I was driving by and I saw a flashlight moving around in the house and I thought somebody had broken in. Nobody broke in. Thank you. That was very nice of you. It’s nice to know there are decent people in the world.

Would you mind shining your flashlight? I dropped mine and I dropped the phone. Oh, there they are. Thank you. Thank you.

I thought you were the arsonist. Come back to finish the job. Is that a possibility? After that threatening phone call that Chad got while the house was burning down, I think anything’s possible. What are you doing here? All alone at this hour?

Well, actually I’m obsessed. While the family was here checking out the damage, we found a time capsule. Little Thomas was playing in the fireplace with the poker and it just fell out. Time capsule? Yeah. Put together by my grandparents in 1966. Wow. Amazing. Have you opened it? No. That’s the problem. What do you mean?

Did you take it to a locksmith? Of course. He was no help at all. He couldn’t figure out how to open it without forcing it, which might break it and then ruin whatever is inside. You see, my grandfather, Thomas Horton, loved puzzles. And this is not the first time he challenged the family with something like this.

So I want to open it the way my grandfather intended. I get that. But what are you actually doing here? I thought if I looked around quietly by myself, checking everything, I might find a clue or some secret little key that would help me open the darn thing. You want some help? I wonder what mom wanted to talk to Marlena about.

Do you know why she wanted to see her? No, I don’t, I don’t. I’m guessing that she is Worried sick, and she’s hoping that Marlena can offer some, some comfort. You know, we’re, we are, we’re battling against time. I know. And the reality is that, uh, this is completely out of our hands. I know. Mother is our rock.

She is our core. And we just, we can’t afford to lose her, we can’t. No, dad, we won’t. We won’t.

Everyone keeps saying you’re wrong, you’re a fighter, you make it through all this,

but I’m not, I’m not feeling strong, Marlena, right now, all I’m feeling is scared because you see, I, I love my life. And my sweet family, my job, my friends, and the thought of leaving, all that.

I want you to know something. You have got a lot of years ahead of you. Okay, a lot of living to do. I want you to remember that. You know, heart recipients are living so much longer now. That can happen with you as well, and I, and I, I know we’re gonna fight very hard to find you the right donor. So it’s, it’s natural for you to feel frightened, but you can also be very strong.

So You can be scared and strong at the same time. Yes, you can. A lot of us fight battles that way all the time. Look, you have got a family who loves you and is standing by you, and I think if you, if you feel you can, let them know you’re right. Let them know what you’re going through and let them, let them comfort you.

But I’m not sure I want anyone to know what I’m going through, Marlena. Well, maybe it’s because I’m physically weak. But, much as you say, there’s still hope. I’m having a hard time clinging to that. That’s the problem. Fighting spirit. Everyone admires me for saluting me right now. My mind, it keeps fast forwarding to a future where,

For what? Where I won’t be here anymore. Not here for my husband, for my daughters, for my friends. So can you help me, Marlena? Can you help me to feel more hopeful? Can you help me to stop fast forwarding to darkness?

What’s going on? What’s the origin? You’re not going to believe it. I found our mole. Who? It’s Goldman. What? Are you serious? I just passed her on the square. She blew me off. How do you know it’s her? Because somebody tried to kill me. She allowed it to happen.

Good thing we found this lantern, huh? Oh, you found the lantern. I’m so short, when I go in the garage, I never even look at what’s on the top shelf. But you can reach it. Oh, my tippy toes. Everett, are you sure you want to spend the evening with an old lady looking for clues? I mean, there must be something exciting for a young man like you to be doing.

Oh, what do you mean? I love a good mystery. And besides, uh, curiosity is, uh, well, half the reason I became a journalist. What’s the other half? Oh, um, this may sound pretentious, but a burning desire to spread the truth. Sounds pretentious. I’ll indulge you. Thank you. Anyway, um, what a great story a time capsule discovery would make.

Yeah, well not if I can’t open it. What are we, what are we looking for? Clues? Or a wanky key? Wanky? A wanky key? If you say so. You know what’s wanky? When I look at you in this light,

You look so much like my cousin, Nick, God rest his soul. He, uh, He was a very promising young man until he lost his way. I’m sorry. What happened to him? He went over to the dark side. Sadly. Anyway. Yeah. Your family has such fascinating stories. I’d love to hear more sometime. Always a reporter, huh? I mean, this house must be Bursting with interesting tales, right?

Family histories buried in the woodwork. Secrets whispered from the walls. Scandal dripping from the eaves. Everett, I don’t enjoy the image of scandal dripping from my eaves. Okay, I’ll, uh, I’ll stop. Thank you. Let’s move on to modern times. So, what’s a story? With you and Stephanie. Do you think there’s a future there?

As you begin to feel stronger. I know you will see yourself. Is that healthy? Vibrant woman. You’ve always been the woman who Lights up every room she walks into. Oh, thank you, Marlena. Oh, you’ve given me respect and comfort. Uh, and, oh, right now I, honestly, I’m feeling a bit stronger after having taken in all you just said.

I’m so glad to hear that. Oh. Now just take this time to enjoy your loved ones. And friends. Yeah. Oh. Right, right now, in this moment anyway, I feel like that fighting spirit is winning over that fear. Thanks to you.

Someone tried to kill you here. Yes, he was disguised wearing a cervical mask. He came in not long ago. He tried to inject something in my IV bag and I fought him off. I was, I couldn’t detain him. The hitman, he ran off and then Goldman is standing right there looking shocked that I was alive and then she took off.

Obviously, she let him in. Unreal. That, that explains it. That explains why she blew me off in the square. She acts like she’s just a straight arrow, stickler for protocol. Yeah, makes her a perfect cover for a double agent. Yeah. Yeah, well thank God you’re okay. I’ll put a new guard at the door, alright?

Obviously this recent development sure puts a new spin on Xander Cook being the assassin. And maybe the guy today was the same one that shot you, came back to try and finish the job. It’s very possible. Yeah. Yeah, there’s a lot we gotta dig into. But first, we gotta find Goldman.

Speak. Is it done? He’s still alive. What? Are you kidding me? Damn, what, uh, What does he got, a guardian angel or something? What the hell happened this time? I don’t know. Maybe Tamara botched it. Maybe he chickened out. Maybe he double crossed me. I saw him run off. And then Then what? Tell me. I’ve been made.

Are you sure? I could tell by the way Harris looked at me. He knows. Well, why didn’t you take him out? A nurse walked in, but there were too many witnesses. I I had to take off.

Alright. We’re just gonna have to move up the timeline then. You know what you have to do next. What about Tripp and Wendy? They’ve seen my face. They know who I am. Well, that’s your problem, sweetheart. And I suggest you solve it. Fast.

Let me get this straight. Jada Hunter has a wedding photo of the two of you as bride and groom? Crazy, right? I’d say so. I thought I must just look like the guy. We’re like twins. Well, it does happen. Um. Adrian Kariakis and Bonnie Lockhart. Look almost identical. Two different women. Different personalities.

Only one of which is tolerable. I mean, that’s the thing. I mean, doppelgangers do exist. It is a phenomena. But Jade, she was hell bent on proving that I’m this Bobby Stein, and so she She ran my fingerprints, and um,

I, I can’t believe this, but um, yeah, they came up as a, as a match, to Bobby’s. Fingerprints don’t lie. I know. I know that. I mean, uh, that’s why it’s such a nightmare for me. I mean, granted, there are, there are gaps in my memory since the accident. I just, how could I have forgotten that much of my life? It doesn’t, it doesn’t make any sense.

No, it doesn’t. Unless you’re lying.

You know, it warms my heart how much you love my mom. I mean, to head after everything that’s happened. You losing your memory, us being kept away from her, and we both found our way back. It was a miracle. It was. And I have to say, your love for each other, you and mom’s, it really does give me hope. It reminds me that even through the darkest times, Dad, we can still find a way to push to the light.

Paulina, a person who donates their heart or other organs when they die is never ever coerced. They do that because it’s It’s their wish. And it’s a kind and enormous gesture. And in a strange way, it Let’s a part of them continue on in the world after they’ve gone. So no guilt, okay? O okay. No guilt. Oh, Marlena, you’re so good to me.

Always there for me. Well, when Lonnie didn’t know I was a mama, when I needed advice about AIDS,

He is my honor. Always has been to be there for you. Right now. I think you need to rest. Uh, yeah. Yes, I do. Oh, I feel at peace now. I think I finally know what I need to do next.

Yeah, I need you to put out a BOLO, an Officer Rebecca Goldman. Yep, that’s the Becca Goldman. Yeah, you have the description. Consider her armed and dangerous. I want her brought in immediately. Man, the rest of the force is going to be blown away when I get that call. Yeah, and now that we’ve exposed our dirty cop, this is all starting to make sense.

I mean, it’s no wonder Goldman shot Clyde’s guy in the drug bust. Obviously, she needed that drug dealer dead, otherwise he would have let us write to Clyde.

Steve.

Tell me that you’ve made some progress on that video with Kip. The waiting is killing me.

Can you call me?

Can you call me and just tell me that you found our son?

Where the hell is that coming from?

Hello?

I’m not lying. I’m not. Everything I’ve told you is all I know. I mean, my God, I would never deceive Stephanie. Or anyone, for that matter. It’s just, it’s not who I am. I’ve always tried. As far as I know, to be a, a, a decent person, you know, caring and loyal and, and hardworking.

I really hope you believe me, Julie. Because I think you’re a wonderful person, and frankly, I just, I need someone to believe me, to not, to not hate me. I don’t hate you. Why would I hate you? I will leave you, Everett.

Thank you.

You say you like Horton family stories, I’ll tell you a Horton family story. My uncle Tommy, who was my mother’s twin, went off to serve in the Korean War. Did not come home. We all assumed he was dead. Years later He appears in Salem, in the company of my Uncle Bill, and neither one of them knew that they were brothers.

This is what happened. While he was overseas, Uncle Tommy developed amnesia. He was captured, and his face was disfigured when he was a prisoner of war. Somewhere along the way he got plastic surgery after that. Looked completely different. Not to mention he had another name. Dr. Mark Brooks. Wow. But, and, how did he figure out who he really was?

Oh, um, my grandfather, Dr. Tom, and my uncle, Mickey, started an investigation. Precipitated by my grandmother, Alice, standing behind that sofa. And noticing a little tiny birthmark on the back of Tommy’s neck. Are you serious? Very interesting. Yeah, interesting. Heartwarming, in the end. Well, I hope when you find out your story you don’t discover that you and Stephanie are related and then she has to run off to a nunnery.

Fingers crossed. I am very sorry. For what you’re going through. And what a blow this must be to Stephanie. I mean, that’s, uh, That’s the hardest part. I mean, she’s just really hurt and confused. Understandably so. I just Got her back, Julie, and now I lost her again.

Maybe forever. Either way, you have to find out about your past. Or like my Uncle Tommy, you’ll never be free.

Well, okay, if we come into Oh, please. I brought you some more ice chips. Oh, thank you, baby. Would you, uh, like some coffee I brought? Oh, Heavens no. It’ll keep me up all night. But, you know, I really should be going.

Well, thank you so much for coming, Marlena. Hopefully, I’ll see you soon. Yes, I’ll be thinking about all of you. And please, hug those babies for me. I will. Good. Marlena? I’ll see you pretty soon. Soon. Thank you again. We’re in this together.

So, sweetheart, are you feeling better? Ah, better.

I need you to do something for me. Anything, Mama. I need you to get my laptop. Now? What do you need it for? I want you to help me draft my last will, testament.

How could I have missed the signs? How? I trusted Goldman completely. She fooled everybody, boss. Why did she do this? Why, money? Could be Clyde has something on her, forcing her to do his work. Whatever it is, it’s gotta be big. It’s gotta be, and who’s to say that Clyde’s not the only one who has, who has people out there pulling strings.

I mean, there could be judges, there could be other cops, uh, what, prison personnel? We have to bring Goldman in. We’re gonna break her down and get her to tell us whether she has accomplices. Yeah. And when we do that, we’re gonna use her. We are gonna use her to bring Clyde to his knees. I am telling you. We are gonna end that monster once and for all.

Well, hello there, little lady. You son of a bitch. How dare you take my son after everything I have done for you. Everything you’ve done for me? What about what you haven’t done? And now let’s get this straight. The fact that your boy isn’t there with you right now is nobody’s fault but your own. Okay, you listen to me, if you hurt Trip at all, I will personally drive a semi truck through the gates of Statesville and I will choke the life out of you.

Do you hear me loud and clear, but it’s real simple. You do exactly what I say and your boy will be fine.

I should have had a will made up a long time ago. But I just assumed I would live forever. Saw no reason to rush it. But now, you know, I might, might get, wait, listen for God knows how long before I get a new heart. So I need to make sure my affairs Are in order

I understand mom and you know now that Eli and I have kids we’re gonna have our wills made up as well Yes, am I. Okay, that’s fine. It’s fine for y’all to be copycats. But how about you just let me be first, okay? Of course. Okay. So, sweetheart, I’m gonna dictate it to you and you take notes, okay? Okay. I’m ready.

Uh, here it goes. I, Paulina Price, declare this to be my last will and testament.

I am married to Abraham Carver. I have two children. Children, Lonnie Price, and Chanel Dupree. Well, as much fun as this has been, I gotta call it a night. Then, uh, pick it up another time. Yeah, I’d like that. I know Doug’s waiting up for me. Oh, while you were in the garage I called him, and I said, you were here, and you were taking care of me, and he was very glad to hear that.

Well, it’s my pleasure to be able to take care of you. You and your husband have been so wonderful to me since I arrived to town, inviting me over for Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve. You’re a, you’re a good guy, Everett. And I hope when you do find out the secret of your past, you tell me all about it. I’d love to, but, uh, I have a feeling you’ll find out before I can tell you.

Word spreads pretty fast in this town. Yes, it does, doesn’t it? I know when you do know the truth, it’s gonna give you peace of mind. Well, goodnight. Thank you, Julie. I told you

I’d put a new guard outside, but if I don’t know who I can trust I guess I could call in help from another agency. I’m sure Clyde doesn’t have people everywhere, but sure as hell feels like it right now. I can take care of myself. Can you just do me one favor? Yeah, name it. Bring me my gun. Now, what I’m about to tell you stays between you and me.

No cops, no stiff. Okay. Instead of you coming to Statesville to do me in, you’re gonna get your little fanny over here and break me out. Are you out of your mind? A prison break? How the hell am I supposed to pull that off? Well, it’s time for you to shapeshift from that doting mama to vitally mom princess.

You can call your family. You got the numbers. I know you do. No. No, I can’t do that. Oh, yes, you can, and you will. Cause if I’m not out of this prison in 24 hours, that bambino of yours is going to be pushing up daisies.

Days Opinions For The Week Of February 26, 2024

Opinion Article

 

by Michele & Cheryl

Everett from Days

We have trouble believing that Everett didn’t remember who he was in the past. When he saw Jada at the pub, he walked away as if he recognized her. Once she realized who he was, he suddenly didn’t remember his past. We think there’s more to Everett than meets the eye. It’s easy for him to pretend that he has amnesia because no one can prove that he doesn’t. We won’t be surprised if it turns out that he’s faking his amnesia.

Speaking of Everett’s amnesia, Stephanie acts as if it affects her more than Everett. She had an attitude while Marlena was talking to him like she was the victim. Jada was the victim in the story not Stephanie. Stephanie didn’t have a reason to act as if Everett betrayed her. Now we’re supposed to believe she and Jada were such good friends that she will break up with Everett if it turns out he lied about not knowing who he was.

The writers shouldn’t have had EJ understand that Johnny got married without inviting him to his wedding. Johnny could have invited EJ to it. He claimed they didn’t want to stress out Paulina, but his father should have been invited to the wedding. Johnny didn’t have any family at the wedding so Paulina would have understood if EJ was at the wedding.

Why was Tate suddenly upset with Brady and Theresa? They did everything they could to help Tate yet now he suddenly doesn’t want anything to do with them. He had some nerve talking to them the way he did. Brady and Theresa could have let him stay in prison if they didn’t care about him. He treated them like it was their fault he was in trouble. Tate got himself in trouble.

Eli and Lani came back to Salem to visit Paulina. While they were talking about the twins, they mentioned that they were with Doug and Julie. What were the odds that they didn’t mention the fire? We know Paulina’s in the hospital, but Eli is a Horton. You would think he would have been concerned about the Horton house burning down. It was his grandmother’s house yet he didn’t say a word about the fire at the hospital.

Transcript provided by Thane and Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS SOME EDITING!

So this is it, huh? This is how it ends. Neat. Clean. Easy. And then curtains down for Harris Michaels.

You know, if someone did in fact kidnap Tripp and Wendy, they sure as hell knew how to disengage their phones. Last pings came from outside the park near the square. Yeah, during the event. Right. You know, with Wendy’s tech prowess, it’s possible that they could have coerced her into showing them how to do it. Mm. Oh, man.

I think we’re gonna need to move through some back channels now. That takes more know how. Yeah, well Hang on a second.

Hey, son. How’s Tate doing? Hey, dad. Well, we just got here. We haven’t checked in yet, but I know that you’re on the visitors list, so do you think you can make it? Hold on a second. Um, it’s Brady. Tate just got moved to a halfway house. He was wondering if maybe I could Go. Go. Don’t have to ask. I think you just got the okay, so I’ll see you soon.

You got it, kid.

Buddy, take off. It’s okay. Hey, I’m still waiting for notes on that Ava video anyway. I’ll stay here. I’ll keep working at, at this until you get back.

We’re gonna find your boy. Come hell or high water.

I

thought he would never leave. You again? I was in the neighborhood. Have you tried the shashouks at the little cafe down the road? Oh, the eggs are cooked beautifully, but it could have used a little bit more salt. I don’t have time for your restaurant reviews. I am busy. Well, I too am a busy man, Mr. Johnson.

But I have made time in my busy schedule. To see you.

Room service. Hi, honey. How are you doing? It’s still all weird to me. Oh. Yeah, I, I understand. So I was wrong before, wasn’t I? It’s way past New Year’s Eve, right? You know, honey, the doctors assured us that when, uh, a person wakes up out of a coma, they tend to pick up where they left off. Do you remember Damar Hamlin, the Buffalo Bills player who got knocked out on the field and then was in a coma for a few days and, well, the first thing he said when he woke up was, did we win?

And against all odds, he’s playing again. How inspiring is that? Yeah, that’s great, but I’m not a professional football player. And mom, you haven’t let me see my phone or watch the news. You said I was in a hospital in Italy? I just, I can’t even wrap my brain around that. Holly. Mom, what is it you’re not telling me?

So, how are we doing?

Okay, Dad’s headed over. Great. Tate’s going to be so happy to see him. Yeah. Hi, uh, we are, um Teresa Donovan and Brady Black. We’re here to see our son, Tate Black. You’re on the list, Ms. Donovan, so you can just head on into the visiting room. Um Oh, I’m sorry. What about me? Brady? Brady Black? You are not listed.

Um, okay. There’s been a mistake here. See, this is, this is his father. I’m sure it’s on the list. I’m sorry, I just can’t let anyone in without the patient’s permission. Go on. Go on. He’s, he’s waiting for you, so you go.

Okay, I’ll talk to him. Go. I’ll be here if you need me. All right.

Oh. Tight. Alright, Mom. Oh. So good to see you.

You know your dad’s here. Don’t. Just don’t do this, Mom. What? What am I doing? What are you doing? Really? You’re trying to guilt trip me into seeing him, aren’t you?

Sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives. Thank God you’re

here. I’ve been challenging for a cappuccino. I’ll be back in a jiffy. You, uh, you want anything?

Bitch.

What are you doing? I whipped up some of my famous baklava rolo. It is an old family recipe that my mother god rest her soul passed down to me. I’m not hungry. You’re not hungry? Well, you might be in a little while because we are going to be here for a while. Uh, do you have coffee? Uh, that old American diner style coffee with the drip, drip, drip stuff?

Just ran out. Ah, what a shame. That is too bad. Ah, well, here you go. Oh, thanks. You are really missing out. You know, I gave some to the children this morning. Thomas and Charlotte at the house, and they just gobbled them up. That’s why I like to call them the little goblins. I love children. I really do.

Really love them. I don’t have time for this. You don’t have time to have a delectable Greek pastry, huh? Well, you should make time. Ella, pedacimo. It might remind you of Greece. The time you spent in Aria, to be precise. You know, my Catalina, she loved baklava rolo. Oh, yes. I had to hide them from her. She loved.

She loved so very much, everything. She had what you might call a zest for life. Don’t you ever shut up! Now listen, I’m in the middle of a case here. I don’t have time for this.

So your son is still missing? What’s it to you? Well, it’s just that I I can certainly relate to the pain that you are going through. The acute anger, frustration. Pining for answers that remain excruciatingly elusive. Yes, well, I do understand. The pain that you are going through, the hell that you are going through, because I go through it every minute of every day, Mr.

Johnson, wondering who killed my daughter.

You’re doing great. Uh, EJ, can you help me get Holly up? Honey, Sarah said that you should get out of bed a few times a day and walk around. Yes, absolutely. After being in bed so long, well, we mustn’t let the muscles atrophy. You’ve been in bed for so long. How long? How long have I been in a coma? Easy, honey.

Easy. First things first. Come on. Here we go. Let’s get this over and done with. Ready? Hold on. There you go. Ready? Down. Hold on. You in? Let’s go. Oh. Yay, honey. This is great. Look at you. There you go. And turn you right. And there we go. There baby. Yum.

What? What? It’s, it’s, it’s chicken broth and smashed bananas with a pinch of cinnamon for a little kick. Ugh, gross. Nah, someone pass me my phone. I’m gonna order a burger from Buddy’s Burger Bar. No, honey, you can’t have that. Why not? Well, because Sarah said, and every Google search known to man said, that you have to reintroduce Certain food groups in your system slowly.

Well, how is it gonna help my system if you’re giving me food I won’t eat? Well, how about some chowder from the pub? No. Uh, yeah, never mind. It’s too rich. Never mind. French fries? And what are you gonna ask for next? Froglois or fried Oreos from the state fair? Bet. Bet? What? What? Bet? What does that mean? Oh my god, mom.

What? It’s Gen Z slang. Gen Z slang? It means like word. Word? Bet? I’m Sorry. What? It’s okay, sweetie. What? What? What’s so funny? It’s nothing. It’s just watching the mother daughter back and forth. It’s beautiful. I missed it. I’m sure you have. I have. Oh my god. Guilt tripping you? I’m not guilt tripping you. I’m just trying to tell you that Mom, I mean it.

Do not try to force me to see dad today. Tate, you can do whatever you want, okay? But just hear me out. You and your dad had a great relationship before all this happened. You guys were best buds! Yeah. Yeah. We used to be. But, ever since I started therapy, well, it brought up a lot of stuff for me. Especially how dad wasn’t there for me when I was growing up.

Like, when we moved to California, I Yeah, about I’m moving to California. Yeah?

I had a big part in that. What do you mean? I’m the one I kept you from your father.

It is a parent’s worst nightmare, losing a child. They say it gets easier with time. No. Oh, it does not. I miss my Katharina more as time goes on. No less.

She was my heart.

She was the only good thing I ever did.

Do you feel that way about your children, Mr. Johnson?

My children mean everything to me.

Well then, you must understand how terribly painful my loss Has been.

Do you understand?

How could I not?

I appreciate your empathy, Mr. Johnson. More than you know.

Hey, buddy. Dad, thanks for coming. What’s, uh, what’s going on here? Have you been in to see Tate yet? Uh, no, no, I haven’t been in. Teresa’s actually seeing him right now. Oh, okay. He didn’t put me on the list. Oh, come on, son. I have seen you and your boy together. Let me tell you, that bond is strong. I mean, come on, does it need a little bit of work here?

Yeah, you know, so let’s give it some time, some patience, and with a little bit of effort, I can guarantee you things are gonna be A OK. I’m hoping so. Listen, don’t I know that he wants to see his granddad, so why don’t you, uh Why don’t you go in there? He’ll be happy to see you, okay? Go on. Okay. Love you, buddy.

Love you, too. No.

No, you didn’t You didn’t move me to California to keep me from Dad. You No, you’re just making that up to cover for him. No, I’m not.

The reason I have custody of you is because I made up What? You made up what?

I made up a lie that implicated your father in a murder case.

I lied. And that got me custody of you. And that’s what allowed me to take you with me to California. So my point is, that man out there that you refuse to see? I have hurt him. So much more than he has hurt you or hurt me.

Your father loves you. He always has and he always will.

Um, there’s something else that I think that I want you to know about your, your father. Actually, about me.

You remember that first night that you were sent away? I was a mess. And I slipped. I slipped. In a really big way. And guess, guess who was there for me? I mean, totally, totally there for me. Kind and forgiving and supportive, even after everything that I have done to him. Your father, Brady Black.

He needs you in his life. And you need him. Hey, dear.

Where are you, kid?

Your mom’s right. Your dad needs you because he loves you with all his heart. And your mother here, you know what? She just took a really big risk in telling you the truth. That was brief of her.

You know why she did that?

Because she trusted enough in your love for her. She knew she wasn’t going to lose you. You know what we call that?

Unconditional love, T. And that is what your mother and your father have for you. That is what your grandparents have for you. Always. Or ever.

I

heard you survived those bullets, you son of a bitch. Better

luck this time.

Not so fast.

No, you’re not going anywhere, pal. Ah! Stefan? So good to see you.

Listen, Constantine. I understand that you’re still grieving your daughter. But if you’re somehow trying to implicate me in her death No, no, no, no. I am not trying to do anything. I am merely sharing, uh, how her death haunts me, pains me, every minute of every day.

No one was supposed to die that day. It was an accident. A terrible accident. Which you witnessed. Did you not? No, no, not directly.

But you admit, you were there when Katharina died. When the pawn put a bullet through her head.

You were there. Were you not?

I’m good, Mom. Really, that’s all I want. Okay, well that’s a good start anyway. Well, um, let’s get you back into bed, shall we? Not yet, okay? Mom, you said you’d answer some of my questions, so how about answering those now? Okay, what do you want to know? Everything. Starting with why I was in a coma for what, months?

You had opioid laced drugs in your system.

Drugs? What? It’s okay, Colleen. We know that you don’t do drugs. And believe me, we are going to get to the bottom of what happened. But however it happened, it was an overdose and your heart stopped several times. You nearly died. Before you slipped into unconsciousness. And it, it happened on New Year’s Eve.

That’s when I thought it would, when I came to. Honey, do you remember anything else?

No, um, not really. Just, just the sound of fireworks. But darling, just, just try and think hard. Think hard for back then for you were drugged with potentially lethal drugs that in fact almost cost you your life. So it is very important that we know where they came from. Honey, where did you get the drugs?

It’s hate. Hey,

your father, he’s missed you so much. He’s out there in the waiting room, he’s just hoping you’re gonna agree to see him.

You know,

I just found my long lost father. Your great grandfather. Timothy, he’s a wonderful, spirited man, which I missed out on so many years with him. And neither one of us were ever gonna get those years back. I’m just saying that I don’t want you to look back one day and have any regrets about the time that you missed with your dad.

You know Tate, but it’s your call.

So what do you say? Can I, can I go get him and tell him that you would like to see him after all?

Can I help you? Tate Black would like to see his father. Okay, sure, I just need to make a quick call.

Hello, this is Olivia confirming that Tate Black will allow his father to visit. Thank you. You can go in to see your son now, Mr. Black. Thank you. Listen, I gotta take off, but uh, you’re gonna call me, right? Yeah, of course. I love you, son. And Tate? You got yourself a good kid in there. I know he’s a good kid.

I’ll see ya. Thank you again. Love you, buddy. You know I had no choice in this. We all have choices. Uh, what do you want from me? You seem to follow instructions really well. I like that in a person. Now I have some instructions of my own for you. Are you listening? I’m listening. Yeah? You work for me, Gamera.

You’re gonna take the fall for this, and you’re gonna help me take Clyde Weston down, do you understand? I understand. That’s good. Oh, that’s good.

Do You need to confess, Mr. Johnson? Because now is the time. Surely, it would help you to, to relieve the guilt. To finally admit the truth. Nothing

will relieve me of that guilt. So you were there? In Aria? On that terrible day?

Answer me, Mr. Johnson.

Yes. Yes, I was there.

God, how I wish I hadn’t been.

Please. Tell me more, please. For both our sakes. We both deserve to have peace of mind about this. Don’t you agree?

Sure. It will unburden you. It will help. I assure you, it will help. It was a long time ago. Decades. We were different people then.

But yes. I was the pawns handler for Victor.

He called me away to give me some instruction.

And when I came back,

there was a young girl lying there.

Dead.

That image has tormented me all this time. I didn’t know who she was.

But you do now.

I do now.

And the bomb? Where was he when you came back? He was there, just holding the gun. And someone else was lying next to the girl, flat, on the ground. I couldn’t see that person’s face,

but I knew it was you. Hey son. I have to go make a call. It’s uh, it’s good to see you.

Yeah, it is. It’s good to see you too. Look man, I um, I don’t know what grandfather said to you. No, it was mom. Yeah, she um, she told me the truth about what happened. Between you two. What she did so she could take me to California and away from you. Pauline.

Tell us, please. , where did you get the drugs? Did Tate give them to you? Uh, I, I don’t know. I, I don’t remember taking any drugs, so someone must have given them to me, or maybe they slipped them into my drink without my knowing. I, I don’t know. So no one gave you the drugs? Not Tate, not anyone. Mom. I’m, I’m just really tired.

Okay. So you need to rest. Yeah, of course, honey. Of course. Come on. That a girl. Let’s see. There we go.

What’s the plan? He’s gonna keep me here? No, I’m gonna keep you here until we’re clear on where things stand. I know where things stand. Just a reminder, I got you on attempted murder of a police officer. Not once, but twice. First, a loading dock, and now with a syringe. And look, you’re not wearing gloves, so your fingerprints are all over the murder weapon.

Do you know what kind of time you’re gonna freaking serve?

You ready to play ball?

Where is he? Where is that bastard who killed my Katerina? I will suck the life out of him! No, no, no. John is not the one you want. He was not the puppet master there. Whatever he did was out of his control. But you do not deny he was the pawn, huh? He was transformed into that maniac by Stefano DiMera. And he’s dead.

And so is Victor. So if it’ll make you feel any better, go spit on their graves. But leave John out of this. He has suffered enough. He suffered? I have suffered! And now I want the both of you to suffer, like I have suffered! What do you mean by that? Your missing son, he may still be alive. But my daughter is dead!

And I will have justice!

Did you hear what she just said? I knew it. Someone slipped her those drugs and we both know who that someone was. No, we don’t know that for sure. Oh, come on. Who else could it have been? No one else was drugged at that party. Holly was roofied. And there’s no one else who would have done that except for her date that night.

The little swine who was trying to get into her pants.

Is this true? Did you, did you, you told him? It was time that Tate knew the truth. Oh, I really don’t know what to say. I do. I’m sorry, Dad. I’m so sorry.

You don’t have anything to be sorry about, Tate. None at all. And I thank you for telling the truth. I’m grateful.

I love you. You’re my kid, I love you so much. And your mom and I, we’re always gonna be there for you, no matter what, okay? You hear me? Come

here.

We have a lot to catch up on, don’t we? Yeah. Yeah, we do. Do you know what it was like for me to watch the Super Bowl alone this year? I picked you, Dad, in a room full of chicken wings and pizza and a giant 4K television and no one did It was awful. Yeah, well, I had no one to ask to kick in fantasy basketball this year, so Okay, stop it.

And, um, Mom, thank you for opening up to me. Really, for having the courage to tell me the truth about you and Dad. I’m so glad I did. Just seeing you both laughing together, it just You have no idea how happy it makes me.

I knew I’d find you in here. Yes.

Just making sure this was all still real. Holly’s home and she’s come back to us. I understand that need. But I assure you, my darling, it is very real. And

now EJ, I mean, she doesn’t I obviously remember that she was drugged and I just, I so hope that those drugs weren’t hers that did this to her. I guess because I would feel like that would reflect on me because if she were using, that means I failed her as a mother. But you haven’t, Nicole.

But I have, in so many ways. I’ve been selfish and self absorbed, and if those drugs that almost killed my daughter, if they were hers, then that’s just another box ticked off on a terrible mother checklist. And yes, you know what, sure, I, I I could say that I should have been there for her more. I mean, recently, just losing the baby, and then losing my mind, and stealing Eric’s baby.

I mean, it just It was so lost. It was just And, and, and And pain. And it was hurting, and I’m trying to make sense of it all. And I just was really I was just trying to handle how to get through every day. Nicole, sweetheart. I need you. To stop beating yourself up. Look at me. You are a wonderful mother. And darling, Holly made it clear that those drugs weren’t hers, which means she is completely innocent in all of this.

Holly is a wonderful young woman. And you have raised her right. You should be very proud. Very, very proud. Now come on, let’s let this lovely young girl get some rest, okay?

Okay.

So, any late breaking news since I left? Um, yeah, that’s right, no problem, no problem. If you don’t come to us, we go find the leads, right? Because our number one priority here is bringing your boy home safely. Definitely. All right, now you said, Dylan, when I left here that the last cell phone pings were heard what, outside the park?

Yeah. That’s right.

Yeah. Right there. All right. Nice. See, partner? We’re already making progress. Let’s keep at it.

You can go. I’ll be in touch. Yeah. All right. Oh, God. God! Oh! Oh! Please. Oh, gosh. Uh, Uh,

What the?

Goldman! It’s you!

THIS STILL NEEDS SOME EDITING!

Oh, you just had to wake up, didn’t you, Harris?

Damn it! One frickin thing go right!

What now? Hey, watch your manner, Stefan. That ain’t no way to answer a call. Especially one from me. I

wish, I just wish I could just Wake up from this nightmare and Tripp and Wendy would be home, sitting on the couch and laughing, and I just, Harris would be fine. He’d be okay. You know what? Unfortunately, neither one of us is gonna wake up from this. This is happening. So we need to stay focused. Did you call Wendy’s parents yet?

No. I haven’t. I just, you know, I’m not ready to yet. Ava, they need to know what’s going on. Should we do it together? And say what? It’s usually what we’re supposed to say. Oh, hi, Mr. And Mrs. Shin. Um, your daughter and our son are missing and we don’t have any idea where the hell they are.

Oh my God.

Does your back feel any better? Uh, you know, if I imagine myself in a yoke class on a warm beach, that definitely helps. Want to do the same thing. Yeah. Look, I know that it’s hard to stay positive right now, but we gotta at least try. Yeah, well I’m positive that I want to punch Officer Coleman in the face.

Yeah, I hear you there. I just hope my mom sees the video and doesn’t completely freak out. Oh, she definitely will. But at least she’ll know we’re alive. Maybe she can figure out where the hell we are.

Eric, a little help here.

Oh my god.

You’ve got to be kidding me.

How’s mommy doing? She’s uh, she’s taking a nap. It’s called resting my eyes. How you doing, Mama? Fine, now that you’re here, my darling. And my Abraham, too. Well, I’m glad. And you know, I know something that’ll make you feel much better.

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

I was planning on it, too. Oh, Lonnie. Hi, Dad. You know, it’s just You’re getting released now? What timing. I mean, this is just great news.

Now, where are the They’re with Doug and Julie right now. They had a long day of travel, so they needed some down time and so do we.

Yeah, but not, it’s not like they’ll get that with Julie and Doug or with Thomas and Charlotte. They were just all over Carver and Jules, waiting to show them all their toys and games. And, uh, Says I hear we missed the wedding of the year. Oh yes, it was a gala event. No, actually it was simple and perfect.

Just what the doctor ordered. And where’s the husband of yours? Oh, Johnny went to grab some snacks, but he’ll be back soon. He has been here with me, Mama, and Abe through all of it. Hasn’t he, Mama? Uh, sure has. Yes, Ember. All of it. I’m sure Chanel means first my surgery and then my heart kind of going south on me.

Uh, um, you must have heard about that, Lonnie. Yeah, Mama, I did. Well, my heart, it may be failing, but right now it’s oh so full. Now that my I have my two beautiful daughters here with me. What do you think? Oh, there you are. Happy Valentine’s Day. Eric, is this the emergency you had me rush home for? It is.

I, I hope I didn’t scare you. No, I mean, it’s okay. This is so beautiful and romantic. The decorations are just the beginning. Because I have some very big plans for our special day.

So? What do we do now? We’ve shared childhood stories, and a game of I Spy won’t really work in here. I’ve got an idea. I’m open to any and all suggestions. Good, good, because I’m, uh, taking you to dinner. Yeah, that seems like a slightly illogical suggestion given the circumstances. Aw, I mean, illogical, that’s just relative, right?

I mean, one person finds illogical, the other person could find perfectly illogical. Logical and sensible, right? Okay. Okay, then allow me to be the perfectly logical and sensible person And suggest that we go to dinner in the most romantic city in the world Paris

Clyde I wasn’t expecting to hear from you today. Really? Even with the recent turn of events. Okay, look, I, uh, I’m in the middle of a crisis at the restaurant and I’m needed on the floor and that’s not a good time. Kind of hard to get back on the floor when you’re not at work, isn’t it? I mean, when you’re at home.

In your, you know, fancy mansion. How the hell? Hey. You will never see my people. You understand that? Yeah. Got it. But I got a lot of stuff I gotta take care of right now. Okay? Not okay. You should be focusing on your number one problem. And what’s that? Harris Michaels. He’s awake.

What is it? It’s a video. Of Tripp and Wendy. Play it. Hi mom. First you need to know that Wendy and I are okay. You’re getting this message as a warning to keep your mouth shut and not talk to any law enforcement about anything you’re currently involved in. And you will not tell anyone about this video.

You’re being monitored. So, be very careful what you say or do and be sure to do exactly as you’re told when you’re contacted. If you follow these instructions, Wendy and I can come home. And if you don’t, you’ll never see us again. I love you, Mom. Oh my God, Steve.

What do we do? Of course I’m being watched. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. That might be an empty threat, just to keep you in line. Okay, this is Clyde Weston we were talking about. He doesn’t make empty threats. He only makes promises. And did you see, did you see Wendy and Tripp? Did you see how exhausted and scared they look?

Where, where the hell are they? What are you doing? Trying to answer your question

Okay, so Our dinner in Paris. How do we make it happen? You know without actually flying there? Well See we make it happen with

A pot of water. Okay. Protein bar. And Chocolate kisses. Oh, Goldman was ever so generous, isn’t she? Learned it cold. Plan wasn’t intended. Fantastique. Now

Care to join me, mon amour?

Bien, sir, mon chéri. So When did you and my grandbabies get into town? Earlier today. All we did was drop off the luggage and the kids. We wanted to get here as soon as possible so we could see you. Oh, well, I, I appreciate that, my, my loves. Oh, oh, shoo. Oh, oh, just need a minute. I’ll come. You just take it easy, sweetheart, alright?

Chanel, you take Eli and Lonnie and show them where the ice machine is, and then you all can, you all can bring back some ice chips for your mom. Uh, of course. We’ll be right back.

You didn’t have to do that. What did I do? You sent them out of the room. Because you sensed there was too much excitement for me. Wow. And having them all in here. It’s part of it, it’s part of it, but I thought you might need a little break from coming out. Yeah, I wanted us to talk for a moment. Just the two of us.

Hmm.

So, I have cleared your calendar for the day. You obviously had my assistant go along with this. Well, Lillian knows how hard working you are as a boss, and so she was happy to help. And Jude’s sleeping? Actually not, he’s not here and he won’t be for a couple of hours because my mom is on grand babysitting duties.

We have the place to ourselves. Listen, I just want to give you a proper Valentine’s Day. Because I feel bad for conking out on you. Well. This is the perfect Valentine’s Day redo do over. And I’m just grateful that you did it for me. You’ve been working a lot. You’re a new mom. And I know how tough it can be.

But I wanted to make sure you know how important you are to me. Happy Valentine’s Day, my love. Happy Valentine’s Day. Look, Clyde, I’m well aware that Harris woke up. I was at the hospital when it happened. Yeah, so I heard. You and Ava both. So if you know that, then you know Harris doesn’t remember who shot him, so I’m in the clear.

In the clear? Do you think that because Michaels can’t remember you shooting a gun at him, that that lets you off the hook with me? Why wouldn’t it? Because I told you, in no uncertain terms, the last time we spoke, that you need to finish the job. That if Michael somehow regained consciousness, it was your job to make sure he lost it again.

Permanently. So unless you want to disappoint me more than you already have, you’re gonna finish the job, dammit. And you’re gonna do it today. Look,

I didn’t forget what you said, but it’s not like I can waltz into that hospital and shoot the guy. You seem to be under the impression that you have a choice. He is under 24 7 surveillance. And you know that. Which means, as long as Harris Michaels is in that hospital bed, he is untouchable, so how the hell am I supposed to kill him?

The how part is really easy. And I’ve already taken care of that. I’m pretty sure even you can’t screw it up. Close your eyes. And close my eyes, yes? Yes, of course. Okay, now I’m back to English. Now, we’ve been walking up and down the alley looking for this one cafe. Okay. And then, boom, something appears right on Rue Teilhard.

We take our seats, the waiter greets us. Ah, bonjour, monsieur, mademoiselle. Bonjour, monsieur. I, I tell the waiter, I was like, oh, pardonnez moi, my French is a little rusty. And then he smiles, he doesn’t mind. And then he welcomes us to the The finest café in Paris. Oh, wow. C’est très belle ici. It’s light. It’s the delicious aroma of all the French delicacies.

Escargot, quiche Lorraine, bouffe aux guignols. Oui, oui, oui. Et maintenant, il est temps pour un peu d’eau. À votre santé, mon chéri. Sante. Oh, Abe. I feel so lucky. Oh, have my beautiful daughters here with me. And you. My darling husband.

We are the lucky ones. And, hey, I know you’re dealing with your own issues. And, yet, yeah, in spite of all that, Still here with all of us here for, for all of us.

100 percent day and night. I don’t know how you do it. I’ll tell you my secret. Love. I love you, Pomona. That’s what motivates me. Our family. It’s the most important thing in my life. And you? You are the most important person in my life.

Mama was so happy to see you both. Me too. You came at exactly the right time when we all needed you the most. Well, we need you too. I mean, what mom was going through, what you’re going through. Yeah, it’s been tough, but mom is being really brave. Chanel, how serious was that heart attack? Um, it was pretty serious.

It was bad enough that she may need a new heart. A heart transplant. Yeah, it’s not definite yet, but Kayla said that it is a possibility. Okay, well, we will deal with that when we know more. Um, you got married in the middle of all of this? Mhm. Um, Mama, she was feeling pretty down about the wedding possibly having to be postponed due to her surgery being moved up, and so then Johnny came up with the idea to just have a small ceremony here.

That’s great. Um I know Mama would just enjoy every moment. Oh yeah, she was so excited. We all were. Abe officiated. I guess that. How are you doing? I’m doing okay. You know, like I said, Mama, she’s being stoic and brave. So I’m just trying to do the same. At least, you know, in front of her. But I’m really really grateful that you guys are here, and I know that the twins can’t see mama right now But I think that just knowing that they’re close by will lift her spirits because it’s definitely lifting mine I can’t wait to hang out with those little munchkins.

Oh, you’ll definitely get a chance lots of chances Is there anything we could do right now? No, just just Being here, really. You know, we can take turns sitting with mama, so if you and dad want to go and shower and do whatever you need to do. Thank you. Thank you. That will be super helpful. Yeah, and I think we just have to keep positive energy.

Well, that’s what we’re going to do, as a family. As a family. Okay, we’re going to get through this.

I just can’t believe how quickly you pulled it all together. I have my ways. I just wanted you to know how much you mean to me. Not how much I love you and our family.

I love you too, Eric Brady. You’re the best thing that’s ever happened to me. You and our son. Wait. Wait. What? What is it? Just

wait a minute, okay? What are you hiding behind your bag? I think I am ready for my valentine’s day present. Oh. I

think I’m ready too. And don’t you go anywhere. I wouldn’t dream of it. Right,

here’s some ice chips, mama. Oh, thank you, sweetheart. Well, uh, uh, Lonnie and Ela. Oh, uh, they’re checking in with Julie and making sure the twins haven’t torn the house up yet. Oh, you know what, um I think I’m gonna go get a cup of coffee. I’ll be right back.

Oh, Mama. Can you believe that Lonnie is here? It’s a miracle. I can’t wait to cook us all a big family dinner. Okay, let’s not get ahead of ourselves. We need to get you feeling better before you start cooking up a storm. Ooh, hold up now. If anybody’s going to be cooking up a storm, it’s going to be me.

We’re working on some recipes that I think will be price approved. Oh, Eli. Let me, let me, let me. Look at you,

I was just seeing you and my sweet Lonnie today. I was so good for my soul. Not that having Chanel and Johnny and Abraham. Yeah, pretty much day and night hasn’t been wonderful and comforting, but now it feels complete. My husband, my kids, my grandkids, oh, close by, oh, it already feels like my heart is getting stronger.

Cause it’s, Just so ill to the brim with love.

A package will be arriving shortly. Do you hear me? Yeah, I hear you. Inside you’ll find a vial and a syringe. You’ll inject the contents of the vial into Michael’s IV bag. And then what? A man will suffer what will appear to be a fatal heart attack. And that will be that. And just so we’re clear, when this is done, you and I were square, right?

Come on, Stefan. You’re smarter than that. Just do the job, and don’t screw it up.

Find anything yet? No, not yet. I just need to study this more closely. There must be something here that can give us a clue as to where they took Tripp and Wendy. I’m just gonna take it apart frame by frame.

Okay, so now You’re right, he’s still young, is he not? Oui. So, what next? How about a stroll along the Seine? You know, Paris at night, I’m there for you. As I close your eyes, it’s gonna be spooky. Okay. I will film, I miss you. Hey, mental mom. You see the Eiffel Tower twinkling in the distance? I do see it.

Magnifique. Oh, that sure was a cold wind off the river. Let me warm you up, ma chérie. Merci beaucoup, mon amour.

Happy belated Valentine’s Day. Same deal. Will you promise me that we’re not ever gonna go this long again without some us time? I think we can talk my mom into babysitting this morning. Now that, you know, she reviews in a routine. Maybe some sleepover action as well? It’s something we can work on, alright?

Let’s All right, yeah.

You found the coffee, I see. Yeah, I did. And I am just so glad to have a moment alone with you. Can I have a hug, Dad? Oh, of course, of course. Oh, honey, honey, I’m so happy to have you home.

Yeah, me too. I’m just I’m really worried about her. Oh, sweetheart. We all are. But she’s so strong. Yeah. And we’re trying to be positive. Optimistic. Right. Yeah, um. How are you doing, Dad? I assume you want to know if I remember my past. I still don’t. But there is one thing. One thing that I do know. I’m so lucky to be your father.

Best father anyone could ask for. It means so much to me. And speaking of fathers. Where is the father of my twin grandbabies, huh? He’s with mom. He wanted to show her pictures of the babies. Oh, she’ll be loving that. So are you going to plan on staying here in Salem for a while? That’s the plan right now.

But Eli is being considered for a new job in D. C. It would be a really great opportunity. We both have mixed feelings about not being here in Salem.

Anyways, right now, I just, I want to focus on mom, and I want to focus on being here for you and Chanel. I appreciate that. I need another hug. Definitely, definitely, definitely, definitely. Oh, honey. Your mother. Your mother is going to make it. She has to. Yeah. This is the

best news ever. Oh my. Would, would tomorrow be too soon, or can I come by? No, sure I can be there. No, I will be there. Yeah, I’m, I’m so happy for you. Alright, I’ll see you then. I’m, I’m so sorry. That wasn’t cool. And? She and Holly, they’re back. And Holly’s awake. Wow. That’s great news. No, it is a miracle. So this is it, huh?

This is how it ends.

Neat. Clean. Easy.

And then curtains down for hers, Michaels.

You know, Tripp is the most important person in my life. I’m so proud of the man that he’s become. He’s a good person. You know, he gets that from his dad.

He gets a lot from you too, Ava. Yeah, what? My sparkling personality? I’m pretty sure he gets some of his strength from you. Yeah, well I wish I felt strong right now. Listen, Ava, we’re going to find our son. Come hell or high water, we’re going to find him and Wendy and bring him home.

I’m trying super hard to be positive. And our trip to Paris definitely helped, but we’re still stuck in this godforsaken tank. Are we ever going to get out of here? I mean, what happened? Shh. No, no, there’s no what ifs. There’s no what ifs, okay? We are going to be found and rescued. Okay, I know that. I know that.

Hey, we just, we have to wait. We have to, we have to be patient. Hey, I, I, I, I love you. Wait. I can’t, I can’t wait to take you to Paris for real, okay? I damn well will. You promise? I promise. Je promets. Très bien, mon amour.

This, this is the ice cream incident that I was telling you about. I had no idea how powerful Rocky Roe was until this moment. Even Messy as can be, so beautiful, so beautiful. I see you’re showing off the babies. Yes, I am. Oh, and it’s too bad you only have about 50 million photos of them. Oh, more than that.

And I’m sure Julie will have taken even more and will have a full report for us of all their shenanigans. Mama, are you okay? I’m just happy to see Lonnie. Oh, uh, Disa. These are, I treasure these moments. They mean, they’re so precious. Mama, we are going to have a whole lot of time together. All of us. Yeah, we definitely will.

I mean, I’m personally looking forward to Alani coming home. And God will answer more of our prayers with your, your kind and generous heart.

That’s right. This family, we need you, Mama. We need you to stick around for a long, long time. You got that?

Got it. Oh, I love you my darlings. I love you so much.

Update written by Joseph

Stefan goes to the hospital, dressed as a doctor, with the syringe in hand. He stops and thinks back to receiving the syringe and vial in the package from Clyde and declaring this would be how it ends for Harris Michaels. Stefan tells himself that he can do this and he’ll just get in and out. Stefan then stops when he sees Officer Goldman patrolling outside of Harris’s room.

John and Steve are at Black Patch, trying to figure out if someone kidnapped Tripp and Wendy. Steve notes that their last cell phone pings were in the town square during the geocaching event. John gets a call from Brady and asks how Tate is doing. Brady says they just got there but they know John is on the visitors list so he asks if he can make it. John tells Steve about Tate being moved to a halfway house, so Steve tells him to go. Brady tells John that he’ll see him soon and they hang up. Steve assures John that it’s okay for him to take off as he’s still waiting on notes anyways and he will keep working on it until he gets back. John insists that they will find Tripp as he then exits the office. Konstantin then arrives and tells Steve that he thought John would never leave. Steve says he’s busy. Konstantin says he’s a busy man too, but he made time in his schedule to see him.

Nicole brings Holly breakfast in bed and asks how she’s doing. Holly says it’s still weird to her. Holly guesses it’s way past New Year’s Eve. Nicole tells her that the doctors assured them that a person tends to pick up where they left off after a coma. Nicole talks about a player in the Buffalo Bills that was in a coma and recovered to play again. Holly argues that she’s not a football player and that Nicole hasn’t let her see her phone or the news. Holly adds that she can’t even wrap her brain around the fact that she was in a hospital in Italy. Holly questions what Nicole is not telling her. EJ enters the room and asks how they are doing.

Brady tells Theresa that John is heading over. Theresa says that Tate will be so happy to see him. Brady and Theresa check in at the front desk where they find out that Theresa is on the list but Brady is not. Theresa argues that there must be a mistake but the lady at the desk says she can’t just let anyone in without the patient’s permission. Brady tells Theresa to go ahead and he’ll be there if she needs him. Theresa heads on in to see Tate and hugs him, saying it’s so good to see him. Theresa mentions that Brady is there. Tate tells her not to do this. Theresa asks what she’s doing. Tate accuses her of trying to guilt trip him in to seeing Brady.

Stefan puts on his face mask and approaches Officer Goldman. She says thank God he’s there and goes to get coffee, leaving Stefan in shock.

Konstantin tells Steve that they are going to be here for awhile as he offers him some baklava that he made but Steve declines. Konstantin talks about spending time with Thomas and Charlotte and loving children. Steve says he doesn’t have time for this. Konstantin wants Steve to remember the time he spent in Aria in Greece. Konstantin talks about his daughter Catharina. Steve tells him to shut up as he’s in the middle of a case and repeats that he doesn’t have time for this. Konstantin asks if Steve’s son is still missing. Steve asks what it is to him. Konstantin says he can certainly relate to the pain, anger, and frustration. Konstantin says he understands because he goes through that every day, wondering who killed his daughter.

Nicole tells EJ that they are doing great and asks him to help her get Holly up because Sarah said she should get up a few times a day and walk around. EJ encourages her as Holly questions how long she’s been in a coma. Nicole tells her to take it easy as EJ helps her out of the bed. Holly wants her phone to order a burger but Nicole tells her that she can’t have that because she has to reintroduce food into her system slowly. EJ suggests chowder from the Pub but Nicole says no. Nicole and Holly joke with each other while EJ calls their back and forth beautiful and says he’s missed it.

Theresa tells Tate that she’s not guilt tripping him. Tate tells her not to try to force him to see Brady today. Theresa argues that they had a great relationship before. Tate says ever since he started therapy, it brought up a lot of stuff for him like how Brady wasn’t there for him growing up and when they moved to California. Theresa informs him that she had a big part in that which Tate questions. Theresa admits she’s the one who insisted they move to California and that she kept him from his father.

Konstantin tells Steve that it’s a parent’s worst nightmare to lose a child and that it doesn’t get easier with time. Konstantin says he misses Catharina more as time goes on, not less. Konstantin calls her the only good thing he ever did. Konstantin asks if Steve feels that way about his children. Steve responds that his children mean everything to him. Konstantin says he must understand how terribly painful his loss has been then. Konstantin asks if he does understand. Steve asks how he could not. Konstantin says he appreciates his empathy more than he knows.

John joins Brady, who thanks him for coming. John asks what’s going on and if he’s been in to see Tate yet. Brady says no and that Theresa is seeing him right now. Brady then reveals that Tate didn’t put him on the list. John says he’s seen them together and that bond is strong. John encourages him to just give it time and patience as he guarantees things will be okay. Brady hopes so but he knows Tate wants to see his granddad, so he tells John to go in and see him. John tells Brady that he loves him and heads in to see Tate.

Tate can’t believe Theresa moved him to California to keep him from Brady and accuses her of just making that up. Theresa reveals that she had custody of Tate because she made up a lie that implicated Brady in a murder case. Theresa repeats that she lied and that got her custody which allowed her to take Tate with her to California. Theresa tells Tate that she’s hurt Brady so much more than he has hurt either of them. Theresa assures Tate that his father loves him, always has and always will. Theresa adds that there is something else that she thinks she wants him to know. Theresa brings up the first night that Tate was sent away and how she was a mess. Theresa admits that she slipped in a really big way and Brady was there for her, kind, forgiving, and supportive despite everything she had done to him. Theresa tells Tate that he and Brady need each other in their lives. John enters and hugs Tate. John tells him that Theresa is right that Brady needs him because he loves him with all his heart and acknowledges that Theresa took a big risk in telling him the truth which was brave of her. John says she did that because she trusted enough in Tate’s love for her to know she wouldn’t lose him. John calls that unconditional love, encouraging that is what they always have for him forever.

Stefan sneaks in to Harris’s hospital room while dressed as a doctor and thinks back to shooting Harris. Stefan remarks that Harris survived those bullets, but not this time. Stefan then goes to inject the syringe in to Harris’s IV but Harris suddenly wakes up and grabs his arm, saying not so fast. Stefan tries to escape but Harris gets out of the bed and captures Stefan, remarking that it’s so good to see him.

Steve understands Konstantin is still grieving his daughter but questions if he’s trying to implicate him in her death which Konstantin denies. Konstantin says he’s simply sharing how her death haunts him every day. Steve declares that no one was supposed to die that day and calls it a terrible accident. Konstantin asks if Steve witnessed it. Steve says not directly. Konstantin questions if Steve admits he was there when Catharina died as the Pawn put a bullet through her head.

EJ suggests getting Holly back in bed but Holly wants Nicole to answer her questions, starting with why she was in a coma for months. EJ informs Holly that she had opioid laced drugs in her system. EJ says it’s okay as they know she doesn’t do drugs and they are going to get to the bottom of what happened. EJ explains that it was an overdose and her heart stopped several times, so she nearly died before slipping into unconsciousness. Nicole adds that it happened on New Year’s Eve and asks if she remembers anything else. Holly says not really other than the sound of fireworks. EJ encourages her to try to think hard. EJ states that Holly was drugged with potentially lethal drugs that almost cost her life, so it’s very important that they know where they came from. Nicole then asks Holly where she got the drugs.

Brady watches sadly as another family comes out from the door.

Theresa tells Tate that Brady has missed him so much and that he’s in the waiting room, hoping that Tate will agree to see him. John tells Tate about how he just found his long lost father. John says he’s a wonderful man and they missed out on so many years that they can’t get back. John doesn’t want Tate to look back one day and have any regrets about the time he missed with his dad, but says it’s his call. John asks if he can go get Brady to tell him that Tate would like to see him after all. John then exits the room and announces that Tate Black would like to see his father. Brady is shocked and hugs John ,thanking him as he is then allowed to go in. John tells Brady to call him and that Tate is a good kid. Brady thanks John again as he exits.

Stefan tells Harris that he had no choice and asks what he wants from him as Harris holds him in a chokehold. Harris says they all have choices and that Stefan seems to take instruction well. Harris declares that Stefan works for him now and he’s going to help him take down Clyde Weston.

Konstantin asks Steve if he needs to confess because now is the time. Konstantin argues that it would help him to relieve the guilt and finally admit the truth. Steve responds that nothing will relieve him of the guilt. Konstantin asks again if he was there in Aria on that terrible day. Steve admits that he was there but he wishes he hadn’t been. Konstantin begs Steve to tell him more, feeling they both deserve to have peace of mind about this. Konstantin assures that it will help. Steve calls it a long time ago and says they were different people then. Steve then admits that he was The Pawn’s handler for Victor. Steve explains that he was called away to be given instruction and when he came back, there was a young girl lying there dead. Steve cries that the image has tormented him all this time and he didn’t know who she was. Konstantin states that he does know now which Steve confirms. Konstantin asks where The Pawn was when he came back. Steve responds that he was there, holding the gun and someone else was lying next to the girl on the ground but he couldn’t see that person’s face but he knew it was Konstantin.

Brady goes in to see Tate and they greet each other. Theresa claims she has to make a call and exits. Tate tells Brady that it’s good to see him. Brady tells him the same. Brady doesn’t know what John said to him. Tate reveals it was Theresa telling him the truth about what happened between them and what she did to take him to California away from him.

EJ asks Holly again to please tell them where she got the drugs and if Tate gave them to her. Holly says she doesn’t know and claims she doesn’t remember taking any drugs, so someone must have given them to her or slipped them in her drink without her knowing. Nicole questions her not getting the drugs from Tate or anyone. Holly says she’s just tired and needs to rest, so they help her back in to the bed. EJ and Nicole then exit the room together.

Harris tells Stefan that he’s going to keep him here until they are clear on where they stand. Harris goes over that he has him on attempted murder of a police officer twice, first on the loading dock and then with the syringe. Harris points out that Stefan is not wearing gloves so his fingerprints will be all over the murder weapon and asks if he has any idea what kind of time he’s going to serve. Harris then shoves Stefan onto the hospital bed and asks if he’s ready to play ball to which Stefan nods.

Konstantin yells at Steve, demanding to know where the bastard that killed Catharina is and vowing to choke the life out of him. Steve tells him that John is not the one he wants as he was not the puppet master there since whatever he did was out of his control. Konstantin questions him not denying that John was the Pawn. Steve argues that John was transformed in to that maniac by Stefano and then by Victor and they are both dead. Steve tells Konstantin that he can go spit on their graves but leave John out of it as he’s suffered enough. Konstantin shouts that he’s the one who has suffered and now he wants them both to suffer like he has. Steve questions what he means. Konstantin remarks that Steve’s missing son might still be alive but his daughter isn’t and he will have justice as he then storms out.

Holly lays in bed and begins having flashbacks of New Year’s Eve and Tate.

EJ tells Nicole that he knew someone slipped Holly the drugs and they both know who it was. EJ asks who else it could’ve been since no one else was drugged. EJ argues that Holly was roofied and no one would have done that other than her date, believing that Tate was trying to get in to Holly’s pants.

Theresa tells Brady that it was time that Tate knew the truth. Brady doesn’t know what to say. Tate tells Brady that he’s so sorry. Brady says he has nothing to be sorry about at all. Brady thanks Theresa for telling the truth and says he’s grateful. Brady tells Tate that he loves him. Brady adds that he and Theresa will always be there for him no matter what as they embrace. They talk about needing to catch up and joke about having to watch the Super Bowl alone. Tate thanks Theresa for opening up to him and having the courage to tell him the truth. Theresa is glad she did and says seeing them laugh together makes her happy as she hugs Tate.

Nicole goes back in to Holly’s room and sits next to her. EJ returns and says he knew he would find her there. Nicole says she was just making sure it was all still real that Holly is home and has come back to them. EJ understands that need, but assures that it is very real. Nicole points out that Holly obviously doesn’t remember that she was drugged and she hopes that they weren’t her drugs that did this to her. Nicole feels it would reflect on her because if Holly was using, that would mean she failed her as a mother. EJ encourages that she hasn’t. Nicole feels that she has in so many ways as she’s been selfish and if the drugs were Holly’s, it’s just another box ticked off on the terrible mother checklist. Nicole acknowledges that she should’ve been there for Holly more and talks about losing a baby and stealing Eric’s baby. Nicole says she was trying to make sense of it all and handle getting through each day. EJ tells her to stop beating herself up and calls her a wonderful mother. EJ adds that Holly made it clear that the drugs did not belong to her which means she’s completely innocent in all of this. EJ calls Holly a wonderful young woman and says Nicole raised her right so she should be very proud. EJ suggests they let Holly get some rest, so he and Nicole exit the room again.

John returns to the Black Patch office and asks Steve if there’s any breaking news since he left. John talks about finding Tripp being the priority. Steve shows John where Tripp and Wendy were last seen at the park. John says they are making progress and to keep at it while Steve remains distracted.

Harris tells Stefan that he can go and he’ll be in touch. Stefan then runs out of the room. Harris climbs back into the hospital bed in pain. Officer Goldman returns to his room and seems shocked to see Harris awake. Harris looks at her and declares “it’s you”. Goldman then panics and rushes out of the room as a nurse enters.
