THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 Here, lift up a little bit. There we go. Yeah. Can I, can I get you another pillow, you know, or some water, or, you know, I’m gonna, I’m gonna get you a snack. Um, you know what you could do? You could go and get a chill pill, and then you can take it yourself. You just scared the bejesus out of me, so excuse me if I’m not all chill.

You know, next time that you, you know, get a lead on a dangerous situation, I don’t know, maybe you can give me a call? Fair enough. But for the record, baby, I’m fine. You heard Kayla. Whatever sedative Nurse King gave me has been flushed out of my system. Alright. So we’re all good. Glad to hear it so I can finally take you back to prison.

Ah, there you go. I’m so relieved. Alana’s gonna be okay. I still can’t believe that she tracked down my dad. He’s, he’s actually alive. I know. She’s somewhat of a hero, isn’t she? She is, but I swear when Marlena wheeled my dad out of that elevator, I thought I was saying things. I bet you did. I was until I hugged him.

I felt him in my arms. I let myself believe it was real. I just wish that he knew who I was. Do you think that he’s going to get his memory back at some point? I’m hopeful, yes. Your father’s head injury was not severe. Which means that the amnesia should be temporary. Should be. Are you saying that there’s a chance that my dad will never remember us?

Oh, my love. Can’t believe you’re really here.

Thought I’d lost you forever.

No. Abraham. You’re awake.

How do you feel? Strange. Tired. Well, it’s no wonder you’ve been through so much. Went in the hospital. Mm hmm. You were drugged, but… It’s, uh… The doctors, they’re getting that stuff right out of your system. I was drugged. How did, how did, how did that happen? Well, it’s a long story, but you know what?

I think it’s best that you just relax for now, okay? And I will, I will tell you, I will answer all your questions when you feel a little better. Uh, I have, I have, uh, two questions. They can’t wait, they can’t wait. Yeah, of course, of course. What do you want to know? Forgive me. Who are you? And

where’s my wife?

Hello, Miss King. Oh, my hands! Oh,

what are you doing here? Well, I came to check on you. I wanted to see how you’re doing since I saw you this morning. I, I saw you this morning? Yes, don’t you remember seeing me? You do know who I am, right? How could I not know who you are? You’re just the queen diva of my favorite soap opera.

Wow!

Wait, wait, wait. Ugh, no, we can’t do this! Well, we seem to be doing a pretty good job so far. No, dum dum Gwenny! We can’t do this to her! Ugh, here we go again. Yes, here we go again! I am feeling guiltier than ever! I am her best friend, you’re her groom! And here we are, hooking up the night before your marriage!

I wish things could be different, Leo, I really do. I wish that we could be together, out in the open. But, as you also know, if I want this inheritance Yeah, yeah, you have to marry her before you’re over the hill. Before I turn 40. Same thing. And look, before I turn thirty five… Okay, forty. Okay, forty five! I have to rid myself of this guilt I have towards the sweetest person I know!

Well, definitely not the sweetest, but certainly the most loyal, or I, will inherit a straitjacket. So what do you say? That this affair, as thrilling and wonderful as it is, it… It has to end. Oh, you don’t mean that. Did I not just explain that I, who have fought hating myself my entire life for being a petty little twat, as Gwen recently called me, although she said it in a light hearted and affectionate way because she loves me and I love her, which is why I am so tortured

and now losing the Don’t do that. You know how much I How much you what? Oh, oh. Lordy, Lordy and lordy. Tomorrow. I married Gwen tonight, baby. I am all yours. God, I can’t believe

I never forgot my phone. Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives. I

didn’t realize that my dad’s amnesia could be permanent. Well, that’s rarely the case, but we just can’t rule out the possibility. Okay, well… Is there something that we can do to increase his chances of him recovering his memories? I mean… Well, I mean, for starters, we are flushing the drugs out of his system.

And then we’re gonna let his brain have some time to heal. And sometimes the memories just come back on their own. And if that doesn’t happen, then we will explore the other options. Possibly, uh, hypnotherapy or even occupational therapy. Like I had when I was a kid. Right. But I think what’s going to help your dad the most is he has your tremendous support of family and friends Well, I’ll be there for him as much as he needs me to be But I just can’t help but wonder if If what?

Maybe somehow This is all my fault. Abraham,

I know your mind is all jumbled up right now, but please believe me, okay? I am your wife, and I love you very much. I, I, I, I don’t even know you. Uh, well, uh, look, uh, look. It says it right there. Paulina Price. I’m your wife. That’s me. That, that, uh, that other woman? That was Nurse Whitley King. She was your nurse here at the hospital.

She pretended to be me and she kidnapped you. Plucked you right out of your hospital bed. Worst of all, she tricked us into thinking you were dead. Why, why, why would she do that? I don’t know, but clearly that woman is completely off her rocker. Miss King? Oh, please, call me Whitley. We’re practically family, after all.

I think you’re confused. Oh, I know that we’re not actually family. I’ve just spent so many years watching the story of your life.

Exactly. Who do you think I am? Oh, well, I know who you are. You are Charlemagne Delacroix from Body and Soul. Um, actually, that’s a fictional character. I’m Dr. Marlena Evans. We worked together at the hospital. Um, until recently, you, you were a nurse there. And you were a patient of mine. Patient.

I’m a psychiatrist. I’d like to help you if you’ll let me.

Well, Leo. Am I doing this? Or should I put my clothes back on and leave you here? Finish up all by your lonesome.

I suppose it would be a shame to let all this gratuitous nudity go to waste. Oh dear, what’s going on

here?

Gwen, darling! You’re back! I thought you were going to the office. I forgot my phone. Oh, mother of rotten luck. For you, I mean. I’m so sorry you had to come all the way back here. You should have texted me and I would have… Oh, if you didn’t have your phone, it’s hard to text about a forgotten phone without a phone, right?

Are you quite finished? Yeah, I’m done. So how’s the planning going? You know, like the two of you said that you were going to do. Well, we had been working on the surprise for your wedding and we got sidetracked. Yes, I can see that. Care to explain what’s happened to my fiancé’s clothes?

Sorry to barge in on you, Mrs. Grant. Allow me to introduce myself. I’m Sam Gerrard with the U. S. Marshal’s Office. You know, you caused quite a stir with your disappearance. If I may. She was knocked out and held against her will. I’m well aware. I was with Detective Hunter and the former commissioner when they found her at the docks.

I heard you tracked my monitor. Thank you for helping them find me. Just doing my job, ma’am. Which also includes taking you back to Maryland. And now that you’re feeling better, I’m afraid we have to leave right away. I’m sorry. I can’t let you do that.

Why on earth would you think that you have anything to do with your father’s amnesia? Well, Claire’s always talking about karma and karmic payback. And I’m just wondering if what I did a couple of years ago might have caused what happened to my dad. Uh, no. Well, you don’t even know what I’m talking about.

Maybe you do. Okay, okay. Why don’t you tell me? Well, when Ciara lost her memory, I started dating her again. Even though she didn’t remember Ben. I mean, we almost got married. And that’s, well, that’s similar to what Nurse Whitley did to my dad. Okay, okay, you need to listen to me for a second, okay? Nurse Whitley kidnapped and manipulated your father.

She drugged him and made all of us believe that he was dead. There is no way that any of that is similar to what you did. And aside from all that, it’s not the way the universe works. You don’t believe in karma? I think I’m of two minds about it, really. I mean, I have seen so many good people have really bad things happen to them.

And also the opposite. But you know what? I do believe that being a good person is its own reward, and the kindness and decency can be contagious. You, Theo, are a good person, and I believe No, I know that the only people responsible for your dad’s condition are Colin Bedford and Whitley Kate.

Whitley,

I’d like to talk about what happened at your apartment this morning. You know, I’m awfully tired. I think we should talk about it some other time. No, that’s not a good idea. We made a breakthrough already, and it’s important that we continue.

Look, otherwise I’m afraid that you may end up harming yourself or someone else. Why would you say that? Because of what happened with Abe. Look, I know it wasn’t your intention, but Abe was hurt by what you did. So was his family.

You’re saying it’s true. That I was kidnapped by Paulina. Nurse Whitley. You were kidnapped by Nurse Whitley.

If Whitley kidnapped me, then that explains why she would never, ever let me leave the apartment. She said, she said that I was in danger, that, that a man attacked me. Uh, yes, well, that part is true. It’s why, it’s why you were in the hospital the first time. A man named Colin Bedford, very bad man, he knocked you out in my daughter’s bakery.

Do you remember that? All I remember is, uh, is waking up in the hospital and Chanel was beside me. Yes, my daughter, Chanel, she owns the bakery. And when you woke up, she went to go find me. And, uh, a woman came by. Yeah, that was your nurse. She took advantage of your confused state. But at home she, she showed me our wedding picture.

And she was, she was definitely in it. It must have been a fake! Photoshopped!

See? See? This is our real wedding picture. You and me. Oh, what a day it was. The day we became husband and wife. Oh, one of the happiest of my life. And you, you said the same thing. Do, do you recognize us? Does it seem at all familiar? Wait a minute, wait a minute. I

do remember you now.

Agent Grant, I understand that you’d like to spend more time with your wife. But, she was given furlough to attend her father’s funeral. Who, as it turns out, is actually still alive. That’s my point. And she thought she lost her dad and she’s been granted a miracle. Can’t you give her a few days to spend with her dad?

I mean, at least until he’s out of the hospital. My hands are tied. It’s not my call. Yeah, but you can make a plea on her behalf. I mean, her father has lost his memory, and spending time with his daughter could help him regain it. A case of amnesia? After a miraculous return from the dead? Sounds like something from Body and Soul.

You know, the soap opera? Uh, not that I’m a big fan. The Mrs. makes me watch. From time to time. Is there any way that you can arrange for me to stay here? Just a little longer? I sympathize with you, Mrs. Grant, but my hands are tied. We were already booked on the next flight.

Okay. Okay.

Can I at least say goodbye to my father before we go?

Oh, Abraham! I’m so relieved! Oh, you finally got your memory back! It’s not what I meant.

Not what you meant? What? What do you mean, you don’t remember me? I do, from my dream. I, I dreamed that I was jumping the broom with my bride, and it was you. I saw it, clear as day. Of course you did, because even though your mind had lost all love, your Your heart was trying to remind you because I am still in there in your heart, aren’t I?

Again, I’m, I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I, uh, other than a couple of moments from the wedding, I honestly don’t know who you are. Heh. I certainly don’t remember our love.

Dad, you’re awake. Hey, hey there.

You’re my son, Brandon, right? No, um, no, I’m Theo.

Oh, that can’t be. I’ve seen Theo. You’re not him. Honey, you’ve been spending time with an imposter. Someone pretending to be Theo. It was arranged by Whitley. It was just another one of her deceptions.

I respect and admire Mayor Carver. I would never hurt him. I just, I just wanted to keep him safe. I, I didn’t want him to end up like, like your husband.

I know you blame yourself for his death. I think that’s why you tried to replace him with Abe. Because it would mean, if you could, that terrible tragedy never would have happened.

Look at me.

You’re not Paulina Price. You’re Whitley King.

But I don’t want to be Whitley King. It, it, Whitley King, it means I killed my husband. It means I’m an awful person. It means I have nothing to live for.

Abraham, the young man who you thought was your son, that was an actor. Whitley hired an actor named Jerry Prentiss to pretend to be Thiel. That’s right. I remember. I saw Jerry’s name in the credits of Body and Soul. And now that you’ve seen your real son in person, well, does that trigger any other memories?

No. No, it doesn’t.

Oh. Oh. Oh, my love, there must be something to help you remember. Ah.

It’s you.

Well, this all must seem rather strange, Gwen, but I assure you there is a perfectly reasonable explanation. I’m waiting. Well, I… Dimitri does not have a proper suit for tomorrow, so I convinced him to try on one of mine. You have plenty of seats. Yeah, but they’re also blah. I told him he needed something special, something with a little pizzazz.

You know, after all, this is a once in a lifetime event. So, he needs something more like… this. Yeah. Not really your cup of tea, is it, Dmitri? Yes, I know, but with the wedding only hours away, I was… desperate. He was just about to try this on, which would explain his state of undress. Mm. Mm mm. Yep, sorry, Matty, I’m not buying it.

You see, I know what’s really going on here.

No more lies, Matty. But I just told you that I You wanted Dimitri to get married in something pizzazzy. Exactly! Come on! You honestly thought that I would believe that he would fit into one of your smedium suits. This one’s a woman’s large. It doesn’t matter what size it is. You didn’t want to see Dimitri in it, you wanted to see him out of it.

What are you suggesting? That you wanted to see my fiancé in his underwear. Okay.

You got me. Maybe I did wanna… Coggle, DVL, and his BVDs. And now I’m so embarrassed for having a crush on a straight man. Which is kind of a pattern for me. Although I do get crushes on gay men, but that’s usually when they’re plausible. You’re right, you’re right. Um, no one needs to know what a screw up I am.

Uh, Dimitri? I apologize for putting you through that. Cheap trick. All is forgiven. Thank you for understanding. And Gwenny, thank you for knowing me so well and for putting up with me anyway. Yes, you are my BFF, aren’t you forget this. After tomorrow, this man is all mine.

Whitley, you mustn’t think that way. Like, I know things seem bleak at the moment, but when you get the help you need, you’ll be able to let go of this terrible guilt you’re feeling. My precious husband. He was so good to me. He was so sweet. If only I’d known that you didn’t.

So you couldn’t help him?

He’s probably looking down at me from having such shame at the person that I’ve become.

He probably doesn’t even recognize me. I don’t even recognize myself.

I just got off the phone with Steve. He and John are on their way home with Jerry Prentiss. Please tell them that I said thank you. I’d do it myself, but the U. S. Marshal has insisted that Lonnie go back to prison immediately. That’s gonna be rough on her. My gosh, she just got her dad back. At least he’s allowing her to say her goodbyes.

You remember Lani? Of course. You’re the woman who came to rescue me. You came to the apartment.

And you told me you were my daughter. That’s right. What about before that? Any memories of her prior to your attack? No. I’m so sorry. I wish I could remember. I just, I just can’t. That’s okay, Dad. Give yourself time. I am just so glad we have you back. You know, the way you stood up to Whitley. You were so brave.

That’s our baby girl. The bravest woman I know. I wonder where I get that from.

Oh. I’ll help you. Hey. How’s it going in here? Dad’s awake. So happy to see that. Um, I’m sorry. Who are

you? Um, I’m Lonnie’s husband, Eli. I have son in law. And friend. Hey, we’re, we’re, we’re just so relieved and we’re happy that you’re back. We missed you. Lani and I, Paulina, Theo. Your grandkids.

We love you.

Thank you for your kindness.

I hate to cut things short, but our time is up. We gotta go.

But Abraham just woke up! Are you sure you have to go right this minute? We don’t have a choice. Where are you off to? Um, Eli and I, we, we live in Maryland. With our twins Jules and Carver. And the Grandfather. Yes, yes, and all those babies, they are the cutest little angels. Oh wait, hold on, hold on, I got a picture right here.

I’ll show you. Oh, look, Carver, Carver here. He is your namesake. Mm hmm. What do you know? I hear these are, these are beautiful children. Thank you. No wonder you don’t want to be away from them very long.

Yes, it’s been very difficult being separated from them. And mom will explain that to you later. But dad, I… I have some other obligations that I have to fulfill. So it’ll be a while before I can come back. But I promise you, I will come back and visit soon. So in the meantime, know that I love you with all my heart.

And I’ll be thinking about you. And looking forward to when we can all be back together.

Alright.

Goodbye, honey. I

love you

too. Thank you, thank you for helping to bring Abe back to us. We couldn’t have done it without you. Oh, I love you, baby girl. I’m just so grateful I could help. I love you. And you.

Why are you being so kind to me, Dr. Evans? I know that Abe is your good friend. He is. But you’re in a lot of pain and I would like to help you get through it. Oh, what’s the point? I’m just going to end up in prison, right? Well, I don’t know about that. But I do know that you’ve been through a terrible trauma.

And I want to make sure there is someone to help you get through that. I don’t deserve help. I hurt so many people. How in the world am I going to make up for that?

Well, now that you have your phone and that’s all sorted, are you heading back to the office? Um, I think, um, I’ll just stay in here now. Get all the rest I can before the big day, but not be so rested where you and I can’t celebrate a bit on my last night of freedom. Of course, party time. In that case, I’ll take my leave.

I have some shopping to do. Need to find myself an appropriate suit. Don’t listen to Matty, just wear any suit. I’m sure it’d be perfect. You are gonna look dashing no matter what. True that. Alright, thank you Leo. You too. Be sure to have a wonderful night. And to you, my beautiful bride to be, I’m counting down the moments until you walk down that aisle for me.

As am I, my love. I can’t wait.

I’m gonna miss you so much. Same. But, it’s only six months until I’m up for Pearl. Right, and hopefully, by the time you get back, that’ll be as old as I’ll forget. I’m counting on him. You’ll keep me posted? Of course. Oh. Next time that we come back home, it’ll be for good.

Alright. We’re ready.

Hello, Abe? You probably don’t remember me, but I’m Dr. Kayla Johnson. Were you my doctor from before? Yes, I was. But I’m also a very close friend of yours. And so is my husband, Steve.

I’m sorry. Doesn’t ring a bell. That’s okay. It’ll come to you. The important thing is to not put too much pressure on yourself.

It’s very frustrating, not being able to recognize my family. Well, they understand. Believe me, they are just so relieved and happy that you are alive and well. In fact, this whole town just loves you so much, and they’re rooting for you. Whitney, you deserve help. And you’re going to get it. You’re not alone.

Paulina, how is Abe? Physically, he is just fine. But, when he opened his eyes, he asked for you, Whitley. I did my best to set him straight, but my husband looks into my eyes and he doesn’t remember me. He doesn’t know me. His own wife. He doesn’t remember his children. I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry. I know that I put all of you through hell.

If there’s anything I can do to help… Oh! Oh! You can shut your damn mouth! I don’t want to hear anything that you have to say!

Paulina. We should go. Now. Fine, fine. I’ll go. But I just want this bitch to know that she can’t undo all the damage that she’s, she’s caused with just, I’m sorry. It’s going to take a hell of a lot more than that. Well, hell

Let’s go.

I can do this. I can do this. I can do this. I can do this. All I have to do is fake a marriage. For an entire year.

But then I get my inheritance.

And in the meantime, I see no reason why I should have to give up Leo.

Oh, Matty. Can you believe it? Tomorrow, I’m going to marry a man that I absolutely adore. And he adores me back.

Look, I know that… I know you had your doubts about Dimitri in the beginning, but… I think now you can see how very right we are for each other. And how happy he makes me.

I do. And that makes me happy.

Matty, it means so much to me that you’ve come around. Honestly, without your blessing, I don’t think, I don’t think I’d be able to go through with this wedding. That’s how important you are to me.

And you to me.

Hey,

don’t you too someday. I know it. You’re gonna meet the most amazing guy who’s going to love you just as much as Dimitri loves me. And then we’re both gonna have our happily ever after. Just like we’ve dreamed of.

Ow.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

I am where you told me to be and this guy still has not shown up. Okay. Okay. Hm. Just tell me again what I’m supposed to be looking for. Blue blazer. Got it.

It couldn’t be him. Not again. Could it?

Hello, Lee. We meet again. Yes, and what an unpleasant deja vu it is. So you didn’t just throw in the towel, you asked the matchmaker who put us together to try again? Yeah, and now I’m… How’d you know that? Because I did the same thing, because this is deja vu for me too. Wait, what are you trying to tell me?

That I’m your date for the night.

Well… Congratulations, that’s great. Thank you, no, we’re really, we’re really happy. I’m sure. EJ, there you are. Yes, here I am. And so are all of you. Something wrong? No, not at all. So, what are you both doing here? Is someone sick? No, I just told you, we’re fine actually. We, we couldn’t be better. Ah, Nicole, do you want to tell me what’s going on here?

Sure. Sloan just told me she’s having a baby. Eric’s

baby.

Oh, good run. Yeah, I, uh, I went down by the river to catch a breeze and, um, there was no breeze. You worked out quite a sweat. Oh yeah? You noticed? Ooh, I noticed.

So, um, the kids are at Doug and Julie’s tonight, huh? Yeah. They called while you were out. They were having a wonderful time. And I told them we’d pick them up first thing in the morning. Oh, good. So why don’t you shower, and I will figure out what’s for dinner. Okay. Okay. Oh no, I’m getting my sweat all over you.

Hey, it’s a bad time? Yeah, it is. And don’t you ever wear clothes?

To the DiMera mansion, yes. And, um, please have your guy put it in the fridge for me. Thank you. Well, I’ve just checked off the last thing on my to do list.

Gosh. I cannot believe you and I are getting married tomorrow.

In less than 24 hours, you and I are going to be husband and wife. And then

we’ll I don’t know, Victorian, to put the happily ever off until after some patriarchal ceremony. What do you mean? Well, can’t we put the wedding night before the wedding?

I’m sorry, Gwen, uh… I can’t do this.

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

I’m sorry, what did you just say? I, I said, uh, forgive me Gwen, I, uh, I don’t think this is a good idea. It isn’t a good idea? Do

you perhaps care to be a bit more specific? I mean, not a good idea about hitting the sack, or not… A good idea about getting married, because Bloody hell, Dimitri. One minute I’m ordering my bouquet, and the next minute you are actually shoving me away No, I wasn’t exactly shoving you away. No, you’re right.

More like swatting me away like I was a mosquito. Gwen, please. I… Dimitri. If something is wrong, you had better tell me now. That

First of all, if it felt like I was shoving you away, I am so sorry, darling. It’s just that there’s so much still left to do before the wedding. Well, then why’d you come over here in the first place? B because I, because I wanted to see if there’s anything that you needed me to do. Well, there was. And you acted as though I violated your virtue.

Right. Okay, um… I think that maybe we are both a little bit nervous about the big day and, uh, I think we should be careful right now about saying things that we might later regret. You mean hearing things that you don’t want to hear?

I’m gonna go. I am going to go run my few errands and then I am going to come right back and we can continue this conversation once we both settle down a bit. Gwen,

can we please not fight the night before our wedding?

What the hell just found out. Well, that’s great. I’m so very happy for you. Congratulations, Eric. Thank you. So… Maybe all four of us can do Lamar’s together.

Or not.

Anyway, I… I know this must mean the world to you, Eric. And you’re going to be a father after all.

What the hell, Alex? This isn’t what it looks like, Steph. I meant what I said about moving on. Well, showing up shirtless doesn’t seem like moving on. It seems like the same old, same old. I have a shirt. I have two shirts. I just need to know which one to wear. So flip a freakin coin. Give me two seconds, please.

Seriously, this one? Or this one? Okay, Alex, do you not see how pathetic this is? I have a date tonight and I want to look my best. I had an idea for… Are you kidding me? No, I’m not kidding you. I was asking Stephanie her opinion on what shirt I should wear. When I used to live at the mansion, I was able to ask Sonny and Maggie, but…

You’d ask Maggie what shirt to wear and you’re wondering why she questioned your leadership abilities? Dude, how about you Just tell me which one to where and I’ll leave. 1, 2, 1.

You went back to the same matchmaker. I believe in second chances. No, you don’t. You believe in putting people in jail and throwing away the key. What? Making a bad match is not as serious as trying to kill your ex wife’s fiancé. Which I did not do, damn it. What, you put that on your dating profile and never lets anything go?

Oh, did you mention your interest in science like aversion therapy to recondition a man’s libido? You know what? This is not how I wanted this night to go. Yeah, you’re not the only one. What? I’m so sorry, can I help you? I sure hope so, given how very handsome you look in that blue jacket. I’m sorry, who are you?

Connie Vaninski. Your date.

Look, I’m sorry if I seemed flipped before, the… Blame Lamar’s joke. Nicole and I are both very happy for the two of you. Both of you? Of course. We both know how much you wanted to be a father. Uh, he’s gonna be an amazing father. So, you and Sloane are pregnant at the same time. I guess this means we’ll be going to the same little league, Ames.

I’m sorry. Well, I think we should probably get going. We don’t want to be late to that appointment. Yeah, no we don’t. It was good seeing you.

Oh, well done EJ. You sure laid that on with the trowel.

What?

I’m sorry if I seemed abrupt just now. Miss um, Veninsky, but call me Connie. You see, there’s been some confusion as to who I’m supposed to meet tonight. Oh, hey. No prob, Rob. Actually, it’s Lee. Oh, I didn’t think it was your name. I was making a joke. No prob, Rob. See, it rhymes. Cute. I get a million of them. I’m sure you do.

Love that dress. I’m a big fan of red. And sorry I was late. The circus is in town. Oh, were you looking for work? No, the parade screwed up traffic. Oh, hard to speed up those elephants. Ain’t it the truth. Look, I don’t mean to be pushy or anything, but I came here for a date. A due, as the French say. So would you mind bidding adios to your little friend?

Right, well, uh, grab a table. If you’ll excuse us. Of course. You two have a lot to talk about.

What the hell is going on here? Lee isn’t my date. Who is?

How lame was that? I mean, what shirt should I wear? Chad? No, I mean, what does he think? If he shows you his six pack one more time, you’re suddenly going to succumb to his charm? You know what I really hate about him coming up like that? It’s just, it’s, how rude is he? How transparent? It’s how long it takes you, after he leaves, to talk about anything else.

Because it’s beyond infuriating. I mean, who, who does that? Like, what kind of idiot just keeps showing up when he’s not wanted? Chad, listen to me. Please, look at me. We have a night alone. I wonder if there’s anything I can do to make you think about something else. I don’t know, can you think of anything that you might find more interesting than talking about Alex?

Like who?

I think we can come up with something. In the shower. Oh, okay. Cause you know how I feel about water. Oh my god, look at that towel. I’m gonna kill him. What do you want? Oh, I’m sorry. Is this a bad time?

You know… In a town where there is serial demonic possession, multitudinal dead people coming back to life, and every wedding, both literally and figuratively, ends with an explosion, you would think it would be easy to write a gossip column. The problem is that the bar is set so high… Simple adultery seems boring, which is why I’ve got nothing for my gossip column tomorrow.

Nada, zilch, nothing.

Gwenny, are you listening to me? Yeah. Are you okay?

Fine. No, you’re not. Oh my god, I scared you talking about Salem, and now you’re worried that something’s gonna go wrong at your wedding. I’m not worried about that. I’m worried there’s not going to even be a wedding at all.

So I wouldn’t say I’m gluten free, but I’m what I like to call gluten wary.

I must say, I’m surprised you decided to use a matchmaking service. From what I’ve heard, you have no problem finding women. Mm, mm. Well. That is true, I guess, but really, what I would like is to meet a woman who’s, uh… Who’s what? Out of my league. I’m pretty shallow.

So after I graduated Salem High, I enrolled in Salem U while working nights at the Cheating Heart. And I was a candy striper at University Hospital for a time in the late 90s. For some reason they made us watch all these videos about the perils of DNA testing. Anywho, I’ve basically lived in Salem my whole life.

Never even took a vacation anywhere else, save for the time my family and I went up to Green Mountain Lodge. What about you? Well, I mostly grew up in Hong Kong. I came to the States for school. You’re seriously interested in that table. What? No, no. It’s okay, I get it. I’d be peeved at that woman too if I were you.

You know who that is? Sure do. She’s the DA who almost sent you up the river for trying to have your ex wife’s fiancé rubbed out.

I’m sorry, honey. I really do think you’re overreacting. That’s easy for you to say. You’re not the one that he refused to have sex with.

Bloody errands, indeed. I mean, I touched him, and he pulled away. My God, Matthew. Why wouldn’t he want to have sex with the woman that he supposedly loves?

How should I put this? Anytime I open the door and I see you, it’s de facto a bad time. I recognize that you have your reservations about me, Chad, but I only need a minute. There’s something very important I need to tell you. One minute. Thank you. Well, I, um, I would just like to personally invite you to my wedding tomorrow.

Gwen and I would be honored if you would attend.

Do you want to talk about it? Talk about what? That you found out Sloane Peterson is pregnant and now she and Eric are our new best friends? I can’t stand her. And you can’t stand Eric. I was trying to be polite. What should I have said? Oh, you’re going to have a baby? Eh, so what? Big deal. You pushed right past polite and went straight to gushing.

Oh, I did not gush. Oh, okay. To making stupid jokes. I was trying to lighten the mood. Everyone seems so damn sober. I’m going to bed. You know what I think? What do you think? You’re not upset that I was being nice to Sloane or that I was making little jokes. You’re not even upset that Sloane is going to have a baby.

You’re upset that Sloane is going to have Eric’s baby.

Well… At least EJ seemed happy for us. The same as the more operative word. I mean, at least he tried. Not like Nicole, who… What about Nicole? Oh, come on, Eric. He saw how she was. She congratulated us. Her congratulations was not sincere. Okay, hey, listen. We are here waiting for a prenatal exam, so… We’re having a baby.

And we’re both thrilled about that, so why don’t we try to concentrate on that? Yeah, you’re right. Okay. The most important thing is our baby. Amen. So, I was… Talkin with Nicole. Wait, aren’t you the one that just said we weren’t gonna talk about Nicole? Well, she was telling me more about genetic testing.

That her doctor even said that he can discover more about the baby than from a sonogram. So, um, Nicole was talking about the

baby.

Nicole, I, I don’t want us to fight. But I do want us to do things differently this time. We need to be honest with each other. I mean really honest with each other. I know that you’re upset that Sloan is having a baby, having Eric’s baby. And I can understand that, but we need to talk about it.

You’re right. I am upset. But it’s not about what you think it is. What is it you think I think? I think that you think I’m still hung up on Eric. And that I can’t stand the thought of him having a baby with another woman. But that’s not true.

Baby, I love you. Not Eric. You. And I am so thrilled to be having this baby with you.

I sense a doubt.

It’s Sloane. It’s not Eric or, or, or their baby. It’s Sloane. And just… Something about her pregnancy seems… Off. Hmm.

Why

would EJ and Nicole need testing done? Genetic testing. I mean, they’re both young and healthy. Nicole, she suffered miscarriages, you know, from the past. So it makes sense that she’d want to know as much about the baby as possible. I’m happy. Is it even safe? I mean, for the baby? No, the baby’s not even involved.

Nicole said the doctor, all he has to do is take a little swab from E’S mouth and then they can test that D n a and find out exactly what the baby could be dealing with in the future.

And then medical advances in technology, it’s incredible, right? Yeah, it’s um, it’s incredible. So yeah, I decided I was um, done with the constant hookups and the meaningless sex and got myself some much needed therapy. Try and find out why I was so afraid of commitment. Well, good for you Alex. You really, you give me hope for the rest of your gender.

Hmm.

So, um, what brought about this epiphany where relationships and women are concerned? What brought it about was the fact that I screwed things up. Royally screwed things up with the woman that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. You and Gwen are really getting married. Yes, yes we are. And, uh, we would love it if the two of you would be there.

I mean… We wouldn’t, we wouldn’t miss that for the world. No, I mean, we think that you two are just a match made in heaven. I mean, when I went into that Chip’s cabin…

Why would EJ and Nicole need testing done, genetic testing? I mean, they’re both young and healthy. Nicole, she’s suffered miscarriages, you know, from the past. So it makes sense that she’d want to know as much about the baby as possible. Um, but is it even safe? I mean, for the baby? No, but the baby’s not even involved.

Nicole said the doctor, all he has to do is take a little swab from EJ’s mouth. And then they can test that DNA. And find out exactly what the baby could be dealing with in the future.

And then medical advances in technology, it’s incredible, right? Yeah, it’s um… It’s incredible. So, yeah, I decided I was, um, done with the constant hookups and the meaningless sex and got myself some much needed therapy. Try and find out why I was so afraid of commitment. Well, good for you, Alex. You really, you give me hope for the rest of your gender.

So, um, what brought about this epiphany where relationships and women are concerned? What brought it about was the fact that I screwed things up. Royally screwed things up with the woman that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. You and Gwen are really getting married. Yes. Yes we are. And uh, we would love it if the two of you would be there.

I mean, , we wouldn’t, we wouldn’t miss that for the world. . No, I mean, I, we think that you two are just a match made in heaven. I, we, when I went into that ship’s cabin and, uh, and you had that gun trained on Kate, you know, you were threatening to kill her. Kate, who, uh, you enjoyed pointing out that I love like a mother.

You know, I, I thought, it popped into my head that, uh, you know who I should fix him up with? Is Gwen Rizchek, the woman who, uh, terrorized my family and gave my wife psychosis inducing drugs. And you two are, uh, are absolutely perfect for each other. Um, where are you kids going on your honeymoon? Hell? I hope.

Well, I sincerely hoped that this would be a fresh start for all of us. Stephanie, you and Gwen are family after all, just like Chad and I. Abigail and I were family too. And I haven’t forgotten what Gwen did to her. Never will. That’s your minute.

You’re getting really good at that. Have you ever been in therapy? It’s amazing. Really, I mean, sometimes, though, I feel as if maybe I found out a little… Too much about myself. Oh. For example, this one time, I was like 8 years old. No, 7? 7? 8, 8, 8, 8, cause I was already a big Cubs fan. And I walk inside of my house.

You know, just for the record, no matter what you read or heard, I had nothing to do with any plot to kill Stefan DiMera. No? That’s a shame. I beg your pardon? I have a thing for bad boys.

Sweetie, if Dimitri says he’s running errands, I’m sure that’s all there is to

it. Since when did you become so trusting? I’m not. I, I just… You are my best friend. I hate seeing you so sad and rejected. But if you are starting to wonder about this guy, if you think maybe he is not as into you as he claims to be, it’s not too late to call it off. You think I should call off the wedding?

The thing is, Gwen really likes you. I think maybe she even loves you. Yes. But I promise you, I will take care of Gwen in my own way. But you have to promise me that no one will know about this. Especially her. It’ll only hurt her. No! No, I don’t think you should call off your wedding. Look, I think this is just pre wedding jitters.

Dimitri was in a mood, you took him by surprise, he’s, he’s an alpha male. You should not call your wedding off over a fumbled pass. Hang on, did Leo Stark just use a sports metaphor? Only for you. Only for my best friend.

Are you sure about Dimitri? Positive. Oh,

fine.

I’m just gonna get over my tired self and I’m gonna pretend that tonight never happened.

Matty. And thank God I always have you to set me straight, my best friend in the entire world.

So, you were hoping that I actually did try to kill my wife’s former lover. Well, I’m totally addicted to true con podcasts, but what sets me apart is I’m always rooting for the bad guy. And I never heard a podcast that got me going the way reading about how you and Stefan’s own sister tried to brainwash an ex navy SEAL to take him out.

And I’d really like to, you know, go somewhere private and hear all about it. Straight from the horse’s mouth. You know, I really

loved you. And? So, what I thought I was doing when I turned off Stephanie’s phone was just trying to keep us from being interrupted again. So then we could finally have sex. But now I see that it was really my fear of abandonment That made me try and control, not just the situation, but control Stephanie’s life.

And of course, naturally, it blows up right in my face, now she’s with Chad, living across the hall from me, and I’m just trying to stay grateful, you know? That we can be friends, and I can commit myself to moving on into a more mutual trusting. And… Respectful relationship. Maybe with someone like you. Uh, well, that’s…

I’m afraid that’s never gonna happen. I mean, I thought we were getting along. Uh, we were, and look, you’re a nice guy, but… This is not going anywhere. Why not? Well, because A, you talk too much. B, you keep taking your glasses on and off, which is really annoying. And it’s obviously some kind of phony affectation.

And C, you are still in love with Stephanie Johnson.

Anyone knock while I was in the shower? Gwen? Leo? The Gestapo? None of the above. But, with all the interruptions, I never made dinner. Okay, if we go out? Well, I think that is a great idea. I mean, it just doesn’t make sense. I mean, first of all, why would Dimitri want us there when he marries Gwen? So we can throw bricks, I mean, rice, at the bride.

No, seriously, I mean, snakes copulate. They don’t get married. Excellent analogy. I just, I don’t know, there’s something, there’s something very off about that movie.

Oh, hi. I didn’t realize you’d be here. Is Gwen around? She’s in the bathroom. Oh, Dimitri. I was just going to ring you. Um, it turns out I got all worked up over you having to go run errands. I have to run one myself. Oh, so you’re heading out? Yeah, something at the Spectator. Sorry. I’m also sorry about how I behaved earlier.

I’m just a bit bridezilla, right? No, no.

Well, you can thank Leo there for talking me down from the ledge.

You two play nice now.

Well,

that sounds like a good idea. I think you

are right. I think this time around we do need to be honest with each other.

And I honestly love you. And I am over Eric, but I will always care about him and his happiness.

I know that. And I can’t expect you not to.

But, uh, let’s think about when Sloane got her hooks into Eric. And it was right after Jada aborted his baby and when he thought Marlena was dead. And Eric is a fundamentally good man who is now having a baby with a tarantula. Wait, you don’t like Sloane? I just thought one day he’d wake up and see Sloane for who she really is.

But now a baby? He’s gonna be tied to her forever.

Which is why she got pregnant.

I’m gonna go see what’s keeping the doctor, okay?

God, this cannot be happening. Damn it, Nicole. Oh God, check EJ’s DNA. That’s not a match with that baby. Good proof. That’s not EJ’s baby. That is Eric’s.

So, how was your date? Oh, God awful. And yours? Uh, ask me any detail. Any detail at all you’d like to know about Alex’s inner journey. I would not. I see you ordered our favorite. I thought I’d be sharing it with Alex, but he was too busy talking to eat or drink anything. Rambling on about his cliché epiphanies and his ex.

And he kept taking his stupid non prescription glasses on and off. I guess he thinks they make him look smart. He’s a bigger boob than I thought he was. Be ashamed to waste it. So why don’t you let me atone for our date the other night and share it with you? You want to pat me down? See if I’m wearing a wire?

That sounds very inviting. I

mean the wine, of course. Hey, you

too. Access soon? Yeah, my date and I, we didn’t exactly, you know. Hit it off. Unfortunate. We, we, we, we’re just gonna, uh, yeah. Um, what are you gonna do with the rest of your evening then? Me? Uh, probably just order a pizza. I’ve been listening to this podcast about, uh, embracing vulnerability. I read the book. A real page turner.

I guess I might you a question. Does it annoy you that I take my glasses on and off? I mean, they’re not prescription. My vision’s fine. I just thought they were kind of cool. Yeah, no, I don’t, I don’t think it’s cool to, uh, wear glasses if you don’t really need them. It’s kind of a phony affectation, so I’d probably just get rid of them.

Yeah, I guess I will. Uh, what are you guys doing? Going to the pub.

Oh. Wanna come? No, no, I don’t, I don’t want to intrude. Okay. But on second thoughts, I mean, the clam chowder would be pretty great. Let’s go.

There is one more thing I want to say. Okay. Come on, sit.

Listen, I know there’s nothing I can do about how Eric lives his life. But I love the life I live now. And I need to focus on you and our baby. That

sounds mature. I know. Must be the hormones or something, right? Do you know that hormones make you even more beautiful? Oh. Mm hmm. So, here’s to us. And, uh, Precious little babe.

Oh my goodness.

Hey. Hey. I said the doctor will be right in. Oh. Thanks for checking. Yeah. Mom, I didn’t mean to upset you about having genetic testing being done. I mean, if you don’t want to. No, no, I, I do. I want to. Anything that ensures our baby is healthy. That’s great. I was just worried about Nicole. I mean, I know we don’t get along, but she and EJ seem really happy about having this baby.

And after everything she’s been through, I mean, seeing this baby to term, I just don’t want them to have any bad news.

Bollocks. Forgot my phone.

What’s wrong? What’s wrong? Everything. Everything. Gwen is my best friend. She was a wreck when I got home. How do you think that makes me feel, listening to her say she thinks maybe you don’t love her, maybe there’s a problem? Okay, calm down, calm down. Gwen is not going to get hurt. On the contrary, Gwen is going to get very, very rich.

This can work out, this will work out for all three of us. Age old adage, Leo. But she doesn’t know. Can’t hurt her. Now can we please stop talking about Gwen?

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Don’t let me interrupt. Well, we didn’t know you were here. Yeah, uh, we haven’t had a chance to really be together. I’ve been working nights, so, uh… It’s okay. It’s okay. It’s just, um, I guess I’m a little down on romance after last night. Understandably. Lee, you told us your date was a disaster, but you didn’t…

Tell us why. What happened? For one thing, my perfect match tried to send me to prison.

Come on. I said I would buy you a drink and I meant it.

So you can gloat. Are you really surprised that I creamed you in court? I had an open and shut case against your brother. You knew that going in. Well, I was hoping that I could get a lighter sentence. After what he did to Paulina Price and her daughter? Giving Merrick Harver a head injury? There was no way.

Sit down.

Not gonna drink that. You have to let this go, Sloan. No, it’s not that. It’s just Then what is it?

I’m pregnant. Hey. Hey.

Tell me the rumors aren’t true. About me threatening Kristen with a gun? Yeah, it’s true. Brady, how could you be so unbelievably stupid? I

think Salem, of all places, would at least have one halfway decent criminal lawyer. It does. You’re not what I had in mind, Belle. Yeah, we need to talk. No, I need to talk to Harold about this open door policy in this house. I told him it was important concerning the father of your child. What about him?

You’re not actually going to let Brady go to prison, are you? Why not? What has he ever done for me?

I know. It wasn’t the wisest thing to do. Threaten Kristen with a gun, but Eric… Look, it was reckless, it was wrong, but I was desperate, okay? I needed Kristen to tell me where she stashed my kid. I get that, but you played right into her hands. I know, I know. It’s a bad situation. No, you only gave her ammunition.

To go after you.

Hey. I get it. I get why you did it. I’m worried about your kid. You were terrified that you might not ever see her again. And I… I understand that more now than ever. Why more than ever? Because I just found out that I’m going to be a father.

It’s good to see you again, Miss Walker. Thank you so much for taking the time because I know I’m But you are in demand, and now you finally get to meet the baby’s father, E. J. DiMera. Ingrid Sorensen. It’s nice to finally meet you in person. I’m sorry that I… Missed the first appointment and I was unavoidably detained.

No problem. You’re here now. I’m very glad to be, especially since Nicole has informed me how optimistic you are that she can carry this baby to term. I am, yes. And now that the pregnancy is more advanced, I can give you both a more clear view of the baby’s health and development. And, of course, we can also learn the baby’s sex.

Oh, well we decided to say no to that. We, we want to be surprised. And we’d be delighted with either a son or daughter. We just want the baby to be healthy. So, um, I’ll let you get on with your… Actually, Mr. DiMera, I’d like to start by examining you.

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

So you’re going to be a father. Since when? Can you congratulate me before you start the Inquisition? Sure, congrats, but I’m, uh, I thought Nicole’s baby turned out to be EJ’s. True. Nicole’s baby’s not mine. But Sloan’s

is. So, you’re pregnant. You seem surprised. I suppose I am. I had you down as the ultimate career woman. And I was. Then, I met Eric Brady. So this is his child. Right. Are you going to keep it? Why would I not? Well, you and Eric haven’t been together that long and this couldn’t have been a planned baby.

Actually, it was. Oh, are you surprised? Surprise because we’re not married? No, of course not. And who am I to judge? Well, we’re both very happy. Eric’s wanted to be a father for a long time and it was just recently he thought he was the father of Nicole’s baby. But he isn’t. Nope, no he isn’t. BJ is the father of Nicole’s baby.

So let me guess, um, you got pregnant. To give Eric the baby that he didn’t have with Nicole.

I am not doing this just to make Eric happy. Having someone’s baby is a pretty serious favor. It’s nice of you to offer. I’m not being nice. I want this baby. Very bad. Both my parents are dead and Colin’s going away to prison. I just looked around and kind of had an a ha moment and realized I don’t have any family around.

So I decided to create one of my own. Okay. Well, congratulations. Thanks. I guess. No, I’m being sincere. Uh huh. No, you’re taking certain risks to get what you want, and I, I admire that. I actually wish I could do the same thing for myself. You want a baby. No, I haven’t that, that far ahead, but I just know that I’m alone, and I don’t care for it very much.

Mm. I used to have a family, too. Your idea of creating a new one, it has a certain appeal. So go for it. Well, I can’t do it alone. And you’re not seeing anyone? Uh, actually, I just started dating again. I had my first date last night. With Lee Shin. Oh, boy. How’d it go? Giant disaster. Tell me, what happened?

Started out alright. And then, um… Well, he caught me. Taught you. Doing what?

Melinda Trask tried to trick you into a confession? While she was recording us, yeah. Did her damnedest to try to get me to admit that I was behind the plot to kill Stefan DiMera. Isn’t that my contractment? It would have been, if I’d done anything wrong. I’m completely innocent. As you know. Wow, you were right about that being a bad date.

Yeah. The odd part is that, before I figured out what she was up to, I mean, we were actually hitting it off. Bonding over the, the food and the wine, our shared issues with Stefan and Gabby. Sounds like you have a fair amount in common, then. Yeah, um, I suppose so. So maybe you should give her another chance.

So, you and Sloane are having a baby together. Congratulations, man. Thank you. I’m really excited about it. You know, actually, I’m more excited than I thought I would be. Yeah, yeah, I’m sure you are. I just, I just hope that, um… You hope what? Don’t. No, no, no. Don’t listen to me. No, I’m in a bad place. I don’t say what you’re gonna say.

Come on. Right. All right. I hope that you are seeing Sloan for who she is, and I hope that you aren’t disappointed when it all goes wrong. So, I, I, Sloane is nothing like Kristen and Brady. Bad things happened to her and she lost her way, but she’s a good person. Okay. Then, then I am, I am happy that you two are going to be raising this child together.

Thank you. That’s great. Because I’m going to be leaning on you for advice. You’re going to lean on me for advice? Yeah. I don’t think my advice would be that helpful. I mean, I’m the guy that just threatened Kristen with a gun, you know? I’m the guy that just threatened to kill her. Yeah, it was just a threat, right?

I mean, come on, you were desperate to find out what she did with Rachel. You want to know the worst part? Rachel heard me say it. Oh, no. Oh, yeah. Were you able to convince Rachel that you didn’t really mean it? Obviously not, because Rachel was the one that called the cops. No, Rachel. Yeah, no, I’m looking at, uh, Attempted murder charges, man.

Oh, my God. Hey. Hey, you gotta get through to her. Can you convince her to retract her statement? That statement must be the only thing the police know. Eric, Eric, she, she, she, she told the police that she heard me threaten to kill Kristen. Yeah, and you can say you didn’t really mean it. What, what, what would she do?

Is she, am I supposed to have her go to the police and say she was lying when she actually wasn’t? What kind of father would, would, would make his kid do that? Father? What kind of father are you in prison? Eric, even if I ask her to change the statement, I’m really not sure that she would do it. She’s under Kristen’s control that much?

Seems so, yeah. Maybe she called the police on you. I know she had no idea what she was setting into motion and how they’re basing her statement by arresting you? Come on! It’s not just her statement, Eric. It’s also the fact that Kristen backed it up. Of course she did.

Okay, so what to do? Belle’s talking to Kristen right now. And I’m hoping to God she gets through to her. I’ll give you one thing. You got guts. But I asked you last night to salvage Brady and my… shared custody agreement, and you turned me down flat. And now you want me to help you get him out of this? Okay, I was angry on Brady’s behalf when I turned you down.

Okay, well, guess what? I’m angry on my behalf because I thought Brady and I had a deal. And then he pulled a gun on me. Brady was out of his mind with worry about Rachel when he turned you down. And you know what? You would have done the same thing if the tables were turned. You know what? Probably, Belle.

Probably. But it wasn’t me. It was him. So tell me this, Kristen. What exactly do you get by sending Brady to prison?

You want to examine me? In a manner of speaking. I’m just trying to get a full picture of your child’s health, which means we have to consider several factors. Ah, yes, I understand. Of course, of course, whatever you need. Which probably doesn’t involve jumping up in the stirrups, right doc? No, it doesn’t. I just need a sample of your DNA, Mr.

DiMera.

So you think Brady might actually be prosecuted? Attempted murder might not be a serious charge in DiMera land, but it is to the law. Come on, Kristen. You don’t really believe that Brady would have pulled that trigger on you. I don’t. Well, he wasn’t holding a gun against your ribs, Belle. Okay, what Brady did was reckless, and it was wrong.

And you pushed him to it. Oh my god, you gotta be kidding me. I did not kidnap Rachel. Yeah, you keep saying that. But there is blame here on both sides. So tell me, Kristen, what matters most to you? Having the upper hand with Brady? Or actually doing what’s in your own child’s best interest? Because that would be having both parents a part of her life.

Right? Mm hmm. So, what do you want me to do, Belle? Why don’t you just come out and say it? I want you to recant your statement to Detective Hunter, and not send the father of your child to prison.

Listen, I didn’t realize how bad things had gotten between you and Kristen. I just, I wish there was some way I could help. Look, man, I got myself into this. In more ways than one, so I’m gonna have to find a way to get my ass out of it. Yeah, well, listen, if you can think of anything that I can do, all you have to do is ask.

I appreciate that. Listen, um… I gotta, gotta get going. Sloane’s got her first appointment with her obstetrician and I don’t want to be there for her, okay? I get it. I get it. Hey, uh, how’s, how’s Sloane with all this? In what way? You know, I know you’re happy about the pregnancy, but honestly, she doesn’t really seem to be the kind of, you know, settling down type.

Yeah, I don’t think so either. But the pregnancy was planned. It was Sloane’s idea. Really? Yeah. Well, she saw how disappointed I was when we found out that Nicole’s baby wasn’t mine, and she knows how much I wanted to be a father. I mean, she wants kids, too. Especially after losing both of her parents and, you know, her brother.

Going to prison. So, she was kind of motivated to get pregnant. Initially, anyway, because of me. Wow, it’s actually pretty selfless of her. Yeah, she must, uh, obviously love you or something. Well, I love her too. So while you were on a date with this guy, you tried to record him confessing that he wants Stefan to be our dad?

Yep. Wow, and I thought I was ballsy. Well, it’s not something that I planned to do. I didn’t even know Lee was the man I was meeting until he showed up here. I’m sorry, I don’t follow. Uh, we were set up by a matchmaker and he and I were actually getting along in spite of the fact that I tried to send him to prison.

Wow, and that wasn’t, I don’t know, like an obstacle? No, it was when we first realized we were each other’s date. But, you know, we had so much in common and I found myself opening up to him and I was having fun. And I think he was too. And I think there was chemistry between us. And then I… And then you saw an opportunity to get a confession and jumped on it.

Yeah. And he caught on. Really quickly. And he ran out of here. I should have known trying to trap him was going to blow up in my face.

So if you were having fun and there was chemistry between the two of you guys, I mean, why’d you do it?

I’m sorry, did you just say I should give Melinda another chance? Okay, look, she shouldn’t have recorded you. Okay, that was obviously not a cool move. But, maybe she was just making an impulsive decision. You know, one that she regrets. And she’s been through a lot in the last few years. Been through what?

How do you know?

She had a daughter who was a nurse at the hospital. She had died in a freak accident. My God, that’s so sad. Yeah. And her name was Haley. She was a good friend of mine. She was, uh, She was smart, kind, and hopeful. But, she got her life cut short in a horrible way.

Losing a child must be the worst pain in the world. But that doesn’t change how I feel about last night. If I never see Melinda Trask again, it’ll be too soon.

You want my DNA? It’s nothing invasive, as I said. A simple cheek swab, that’s all. Um, but we already… We already did the paternity testing, so what more do you need to know? Uh, it says here that the hospital has DNA test results from Eric Brady, but nothing from Mr. DiMera. Why is that?

There is something that I didn’t tell you. Dr. Sorensen, when I found out I was pregnant, I was 99% sure that EJ was the father. But there was a slight chance that it could have been Eric Brady. I see. But once we ruled out that chance, we knew that… EJ was the father, obviously. Right, but I’d still like a DNA analysis on him.

Uh, why would you need that? I’d be looking for things like genetic markers for inherited diseases that you don’t have but could pass on to a child of yours. It would help me to know if an intervention would be necessary while the baby’s in utero. Now the goal of our appointment today is to ensure you…

Have a healthy baby. Well, we can’t argue with that, can we?

Yeah, I was taken aback when someone said she wanted to have our baby. Which goes to show you, people can change. They definitely can. Well, maybe Kristen will surprise you. I doubt that. But, I am happy for you. I know how long you have wanted this. And judging from the way your nieces and nephews feel about you, I think you are going to be one hell of a good dad.

Thanks. Tell me how things go with Belle and Kristen. I will. I meant what I said. I’ll do anything I can to help you. Thanks, man. But unfortunately… I think the only person that can help me is Kristen. I’m not sure changing my statement is the silver bullet you think it is. You see, Brady admitted that he wanted to kill me.

And Rachel heard him. Brady didn’t know if his daughter was alive or dead. He was at his wit’s end. And that’s what you’re gonna tell the jury? Yeah, it is. Because without corroborating testimony, Trask is gonna have a really hard time making that charge stick.

So what exactly do I get if I keep Brady out of jail? What do you get? Yeah. Are you talking about a deal? Well, he reneged on our shared custody agreement. I’ll change my statement if you get him to sign on the dotted line. Those are my terms. Well, if you do that, I’ll make sure Brady signs. Well, it’s gonna be hard, cause, uh, he tore it up.

Oh, I’m pretty sure I can get a fresh copy.

Great. And you really think that he’s going to sign? I think Brady’s gonna be very appreciative of what you’re doing for him, so yes, I think he’ll be more than willing to agree to the terms.

I don’t know what made me decide to record Lee. Instinct, maybe? I smelled blood and I just, I went for it. Yeah, I’ve been there a time or two. There’s just this part of me that just always needs to win, no matter what. And in this case, it overpowered my want to have a real human connection. I have to admit that when Lee stormed out of here, I was eating that lukewarm salmon alone.

I felt sad.

Look. I know Lee Shin might not be the most morally upstanding person. But, he sure is handsome. And he’s really rich. And as you saw last night, he can be pretty shrewd when he needs to be. What are you getting at? Look, I know that I don’t know you all that well, but… It’s occurring to me that he might be your perfect match.

Worth eating a little crow over? After last night, I don’t think eating any amount of crow would do it. I’m pretty sure he never wants to see me again. Okay. If you say so. I do. I went back to the matchmaker and she set me up with someone else. Ah! For when? Tonight. Matter of fact, uh, he’s meeting me here.

I’m really sorry. Your date didn’t work out. I know how much you want a fresh start after everything that happened with Kathy. I do. But I’m not giving up. Matchmaker’s already, uh, set up someone else for me to meet. Really? When? Oh, man. We should be there now. I’m sure you’ll be sad to see me go. Try to find some way to fill the empty hours, you two.

Good luck tonight. I hope this lady, uh, works out better. Well, as long as she doesn’t try to convict me of a felony. It’ll be a definite improvement

Okay, then I will have this sent to the lab, okay, and We’ll know the results soon in a couple of days most likely and now I’d like to do an ultrasound to get a look at your baby Oh, that’s, uh, that sounds wonderful. Be right back. Okay.

Oh my goodness. Are you excited? Very, very, very, very.

So, okay. You’re meeting this guy with a full martini under your belt. I can handle my alcohol. Yeah, no, me too. Me too. You know, once upon a time, I can’t now, but that’s okay. Just gotta take care of the bun in the oven. Speaking of, I have my first prenatal appointment today. Oh, well, I hope it goes well. I think it will.

I feel, I feel good. And Eric’s gonna be there too, so. Hmm. You know, this was, this was nice, talking with you. I think we should do it again sometime. Yeah, sure. I’d… I’d like that.

Give my regards to Eric. You know, I haven’t always seen eye to eye, but I know he’s a good man and I think he’ll be a great father. I agree. I think, I think so too. He’s very happy about the baby. Nice seeing you. I’ll, um, I’ll see you soon. Yeah.

Pasta primavera. From the other night. Two minutes in the microwave. Well, I really liked it the first time you made it, so. Thank you. Careful, it might be too hot.

No, perfect. Could it be hotter? Tripp, I just said it’s perfect. Okay, okay, I just wanted to make sure.

Hey, I was really sorry to hear about your friend Haley. Thanks. It was a total shock when she died like that. Are you guys really close? Yeah, you could say that. Um, actually… We’re married. Okay,

so how’d it go? Good news or bad news? Well, I hope you think it’s good news. What does that mean? Okay, I can make this whole thing go away and you won’t go to prison. What’s the catch? Kristen will change her statement if you agree to a shared custody arrangement.

So either I go to jail or I have to share custody with the maniac. Brady, you pointed a loaded gun at her and told her you were going to kill her and your daughter heard you say it. So you’re just not going to get everything you want. Alright, alright, alright, you… You’re right. So, if you sign this right now, Kristen will recant her statement.

Did he sign it? What is this? I’m sorry, did you two come here together? What difference does that make? Belle, if I sign this, there’s no guarantee that she’ll talk to the cops. Brady. No, no, listen, I’m not signing anything. Until she upholds her end of this crap bargain that you made.

Have fun in Statesville, Kristen. If I go, I’ll just grant custody of Rachel to John and Marlena, which would be within his rights. Fine. Fine.

What do you want, Kristen? D. A. Trask. Always a pleasure. I asked you what you want. I’ve been thinking about that statement I gave. It was pretty rattled in the moment, and I’m sure you understand considering the circumstances. But I feel like I over, I overstated things. What things? The point is, I would like to retract my statement.

I will not press charges against Brady. I still have your daughter’s statement. I’m sure once I explain to Rachel, she’ll feel as I do. So you were just wasting my time? I am so glad we understand each other. Your turn.

Okay. Okay. For a minute there, I you. Well, I was pretty surprised. I mean, you never told me you’ve been married before. It was just a way they could get a green card. Oh. Yeah, yeah, but immigration and naturalization, they don’t want Americans to be used by foreigners. You know, a way just to get into the country.

So we had to make it look like true love. And when we were doing that, uh, I kind of fell for her.

No wonder it was so awful when you lost her. Yeah, I definitely never forget her, that’s for sure. You know, but I tell myself that she’s at peace. And I know that she’d want me to be happy. And I am happy. I really am.

Well, thank you for the pasta. But now I have to get back to the office. Well, if you’re still awake when I get off duty, you wanna watch a movie or something?

It’s a date?

I hope Lee’s date works out well this time. He needs to find someone new. Yes. Too bad he wouldn’t even consider giving Hayley’s mom another chance.

I’m where you told me to be and this guy still has not shown up. Okay, okay. Just tell me again what I’m supposed to be looking for. Blue blazer. Got it.

It couldn’t be him. Not again. Could it?

Eric. Hi. Hi. How are you? I’m fine. I, uh, just had an appointment with the specialist. EJ was here too. Are you okay? She did a sonogram. And she said everything looks great but she wants to be extra careful, so she’s making EJ have DNA testing so she can be absolutely sure. It sounds like EJ found the right doctor.

He did. So what are you doing here? I have a doctor’s appointment. Oh, are you okay? He’s great. So am I. I’m pregnant.

Thank you again for coming back to Salem on such short notice. I had to put up with having a gourmet lunch served to me on your private jet. Poor me. Does that mean you could do me another favor? Depends what it is. It’s just Nicole. Who doesn’t want to know the sex of the baby, but frankly, I do. Now, I know this sounds frivolous, but when the time comes for us to decorate the nursery, it’d be nice to know if we’re going to be doing it with pinks or blues, you know?

How about yellow or green? We could do that. But still, I don’t suppose you could discreetly let me know when you know, boy or girl? I’m sorry, but Nicole is my patient. I can’t give out any information without her permission. Okay, then. You can’t blame the bloke for trying, though. And anyway, all that really matters is that I’m going to be the father of a healthy baby.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Here,

see. Thank you for the loaner. I got it dry cleaned. Great. I was just coming down to work, so. Oh. Is Chad here? Uh, no, he’s out. Uh oh. That’s a bummer.

Hey. Hello, man. Oh, I’m glad I caught ya. I wanted to say goodbye. I thought I missed ya. Well, uh, I was supposed to leave after my dad’s funeral, but I can’t now. Why? You didn’t hear? Lonnie’s missing. Wh what do you mean Lonnie’s missing? Well, she was due back at the prison last night, and she disappeared. No one knows where she is.

Hey, I’m sorry I’m so late. There was traffic from the airport. Any news on Lonnie? Nothing. And Rafe has been with Detective Hunter since last night. Searching everywhere. Oh, Eli, I’m scared. You and I both know. Lonnie would never run, and she knew exactly what she would do back at that prison. Yeah, she would never miss that deadline.

Not unless someone made her miss

it. I got it. I got it. She’s got a pulse, but it’s weak. Lonnie? Lonnie? Hey, Lonnie. Hey. Lonnie, it’s Rafe. Can you hear me?

What happened to you?

Nurse King isn’t answering it. I didn’t want to leave a message. It’s such a delicate topic. Can you imagine the poor thing? Carrying around that guilt all these years, just thinking that she’s responsible for her husband and her cat’s death. Carbon monoxide poisoning from a, from a space heater. Oh,

it’s Sean. Hi honey. Yeah, so have you and Steve had any luck finding Prentice?

What?

Holly, why, why am

I so tired all the time? Don’t worry darling, you’ll be feeling much better very soon. What is that you’re pushing? Well, it’s our handy dandy space heater. I know it’s summertime, but you can never be too warm, right?

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

Our babies want to cuddle. Do you remember when we got all these adorable rascals and brought them home? No, no I don’t. Of course you do. They always used to compete to see who was gonna sit on your lap first.

That’s how I found all of you. That terrible, terrible day.

What are you talking about? Hey, look at how happy we look in this picture. That’s how I want us to be all the time, forever and forever. And I’m gonna make that happen. Right now.

How? Oh, Abraham. Everything’s gone so wrong on the outside. Everyone wants to take you away from me. But as long as we’re here together on the inside, then everything will be alright. Right?

I’m just not sure what you mean. You will soon, darling. Oh look, Dr. Marlena Evans called me earlier. I wonder what she wants. If what

you’re telling me is true, this is amazing. Uh, honey, can you just come home, please? Yeah. I love you too. Bye. What? What? What? John and Steve have found Jerry Prentiss and he insists that Abe is alive. Oh my God. I know. I know. He said he’d been lying about everything and the truth is that he did not see Abe on the dock and he did not see Abe go into the water.

He was being paid to say that. So the police would stop looking for Abe. Hey? By whom? Nurse King. No. Yeah. Yeah. Prentiss said that she was the one who kidnapped Abe from the hospital and had been holding him captive all this time. Well, they alerted the police, right? Well, yeah. Apparently, um, Steve tried to reach Jada, but she’s out looking for Lonnie, so he left a message.

Well, then we need to call Rafe. We need to get somebody out there now! Yes.

Okay, so the last time anyone saw Lonnie was when you left her alone at the park after the funeral. Mm hmm. When she was late getting back here, that’s the first place Rafe and I went to look, but there was no sign of her. We’ve been searching ever since. And now the federal marshal’s involved? Mm hmm. Rafe called me a little while ago to tell me.

He was trying to stall the people at the prison, but Lonnie, she was just too far overdue. Now she’ll never get that early release. Paulina, once she’s found, she will tell everyone what happened. All right, they’ll all know that it wasn’t her fault. Oh, Eli, do you really believe that? Absolutely. I mean, there is one good aspect to the Marshal being involved.

What’s that? Bonnie’s wearing an ankle monitor. If she has it on, they’ll find her. Please hurry. Thank you. The ambulance is on its way. How is she? Her pulse is still there, but she’s unresponsive. Any signs of trauma? No. No. No blood, no bruising. I don’t know what happened to her. Do you think I have your answer?

A syringe? Do you have a history of drugs? Absolutely not. I don’t know. People get started in prison, end up OD’ing. No. Not Lonnie. She would never. Lonnie? Lonnie, it’s Rafe. Listen to me. Help’s on the way, okay?

Can you hear me? Lonnie. Daddy.

You were searching for her all night. And still no sign of Lonnie.

Um, I’m sorry man. But I’ve sent me home to get some rest. As if I could do that. I just called Claire. She said she was, she wished she could be here to help. Oh man, I um, I’m sure you wish you had her here to lean on, but

you got me. Alright, what do you need from me? I don’t know. Just none of this makes any sense. I’m really worried about her. Well, Grafe might not be Commissioner anymore, but you know, him and Jada Hunter, they’re very, very hard working, experienced detectives, and they’re not gonna stop until they find her.

Yeah, thanks for the reassurance. What I could really use right now is a distraction. I mean, between my dad being gone and Lonnie being MIA, I just… I need something that’s gonna take my mind off it all for just a little while. How about a game of chess? I don’t, I don’t think I could concentrate. Well, how about some good news?

You and Stephanie just moved in together, right? How’s that going? Good. Great, yeah, no issues at all. You weren’t smiling when you said that. Everything’s really great? Yeah, I mean, um, The apartment is, uh, is really nice. It’s a good size for her, me, and the kids. I mean, the view is beautiful. I wasn’t talking about the apartment, Judd.

I want to know how the living arrangements are going. And I feel like there’s something that you’re not telling me, but I’m not, I’m not great at assessing this kind of stuff, so I could be wrong, but no, no, you’re not, you’re not wrong. Um,

the truth is, is, um, yeah, it, uh, it was going great, um, until Alex Kariakis moved in right across the hall.

Oh, I had the dry cleaner work on that coffee stand on the front. I’ll let Chad know. Cool. So you’re working away over here, huh? Anything you want to bounce off me real quick? I’m good. But um, I really do need to get back to it. Okay, cool. I’ll get out of your hair. But first, I’m gonna give you one last chance to change your mind about brainstorming.

I know we’re kind of competitors now, but maybe we can forget about that for a few minutes, right? Okay, I can take a hint. Can you? What is that supposed to mean? What’s with all the intrusive behavior lately? Are you really unaware of how obnoxious you’re being? Or are you trying to be a jerk?

Rafe isn’t picking up. You know, he and Jada are probably on their way to Nurse King’s place right now. Yeah, and Jada must have gotten Steve’s message.

Abe is alive. I don’t believe it. Okay, sorry. Sorry, sorry, sorry. Oh, uh, uh, I gotta go. There’s an incoming patient to the ER. Possible overdose. Oh, here. Okay, I will call you if I have any news. Alright, great. Thanks. Mm

hmm.

Whitney Longer.

Did I really need this? I just, I just feel so tired. I just don’t want you to feel any pain, darling. I don’t know what I feel right now. You love me and I love you and that’s all that matters here on the inside. Everything is right.

I’m just a little sad. I keep thinking about that day that I left you all alone. For the longest time that’s all I could think about. How careless I was. How I failed you. It weighed so heavily on me, I didn’t think I could bear it. But now I think God has given me a second chance. To do what? To make sure that you’re never alone.

To go where we’ll always be together. For all eternity.

I have a little idea. Why don’t we, uh, watch a little Body and Soul? Yeah.

On second thought… Why don’t we just take a nap together? Yeah. Okay. Yeah, that’s good.

I just smell…

Something doesn’t seem right. What? What do you mean? If Lonnie had her ankle monitor on, Rafe should have got a call with an update by now. I, I need to see what’s going on.

You go ahead. I’ll catch up.

Eli. Finally, you answer. What’s going on with the search? Yeah, I know. I’m sorry I haven’t been in touch. Things have been happening fast. What things? I’m at the hospital. They just brought Lonnie in. You need to get here.

Hi. Hey, how is she? Uh, well, her pulse is weak. Her breathing is very shallow. Her body temperature is extremely low. The EMT said they thought it was a possible overdose. This was found off the scene. Maybe you can figure out what was in it and give her an antidote. If you only hope.

I’m not sure if you knew this, but uh, but Stephanie and Alex actually dated before she and I got together. Was it serious? Yeah, for him. Yeah, he was always a player, and um, never wanted to be with anybody exclusively. And then, he meets Stephanie, and suddenly she’s the one. Well obviously, things didn’t work out between the two of them, so…

What, is he just not gonna give up that easily? Stephanie broke up with him because of something he did. He apologized, but by then she and I were already dating. So, where does that leave the two of them? I guess they’re friends. Um, which he’s not okay with. You know, he’d be…

But he’s been, he’s been cool up until he moved, uh, moved in across the hall from us. And it’s really been that bad? We took the apartment two days ago. Then he’s already shunk to the door half naked to shower and borrowed a robe of mine without asking. Hold up, your shower? Yeah, I don’t know, apparently he didn’t have any hot water, but we had just ordered Chinese food.

He said he hadn’t eaten and insisted on joining us. And this…

This guy eats a ton of my mushu pork, has several glasses of our wine, and then uh, Stephanie finally had to give him the boot. Wow. Don’t get me wrong, I’m, I’m not threatened by him. Stephanie made her choice about who she wants to be with. I just don’t know if this idiot’s ever going to get the message.

You think I’m a jerk? You know damn well you’ve been acting like one. And it’s not like Chad and I weren’t cool with you getting an apartment in the same building, or at least I was. But ever since you moved in, you’ve been using our place like an extension of your own. You help yourself to our food, our shower, Chad’s robe.

Which I had cleaned. So not the point. Steph, I don’t know, I thought I was just being… Neighborly. Did you? Yeah. Really? I mean, just now. You show up here, I say I’m sitting down to work, and you push past me without being invited in. Then you ask if I want to brainstorm. I say no. And you ignore that, and you’re still freaking here.

Do you really think that’s neighborly? Oh, my God. No, you’re right. Um… I am being a total jerk.

Kayla rushed that syringe over to the lab. But what if we’re too late? How’s Lonnie? Yeah, did you find out if, uh, what she was injected with? Yeah, that syringe was filled with a sedative. A very powerful one. So we administered another drug to reverse the effects. And she’s doing, well, she’s responding well.

Good, good. So she’s out of the woods? Well, I’m going to keep her here overnight just for observation. But I think she’s going to be fine. Oh, thank God. Can we see her? Uh, Eli and Paulina, they’re on their way. You sure haven’t checked your messages, have you? Well, no, we’ve been focused on Lonnie. Why, what’s up?

Abe is alive. What? Yes, Nurse King still has him. She’s the one that took him from this place. And he’s still at her place now. Oh, my God. Oh,

God. Ssssss. Abe? Abe, can you hear me? Abe, open the door!

Abe? Hey, Abe! Sharma Maeve, what are you doing in here? No, no, it’s Marlena Evans. Look, the smell in here is terrible, it’s toxic. You and Abe have to get out of here. This is my husband. No one’s going anywhere.

You admitting you’re being a jerk. Was that for real, or are you just telling me what you think I want to hear? No, Steph, it honestly didn’t even occur to me until you called me out on it. But yes, now I do see that I really stepped over the line. What do you think that’s about?

Sounds like a question Dr. Evans would ask. You know, I’ve been seeing her to work on my issues. Try and get a handle on why I do what I do. Hopefully make a change for the better. So if Marlena asked you that question, if she asked you why you continually and infuriatingly step over the line, what would you say?

I don’t know, Steph. Maybe because I’m jealous of what you and Chad have. And maybe not on a conscious level, but yeah, I had a chance to be with the woman of my dreams and I blew it. So yes, I think it may be possible that part of me is trying to keep you two from having what I wanted for us. And if you didn’t call me out on it right now, I probably would have kept right on doing it because I’m not really that aware.

No. I’m sorry. No. not what? Excuse me? First of all, there is no scenario in which you would have kept right on doing it because Chad wouldn’t tolerate that. And neither would I. And second, I can’t believe someone as smart as you would continue to be so dense that you would Keep on being a total pest like this and think that it was adorable and charming Look Alex, I want us to be friends Just the other day I told you that I thought that we were in a good place and how I’d hoped that now with Chad and I living together Nothing would change But it is changing And not for the better.

Steph, that was never my intention. To alienate you, I mean. So talk to Marlene and figure this out. Because what you’re doing needs to stop. Otherwise we won’t just be ex lovers. We’ll be ex friends, too.

Listen to me, Amy. Ask for good news to distract you and I’m going on about Alex. I’m sorry. No, Chad, it’s fine.

Hello? Theo, uh, hi. I just wanted to let you know that, uh, Rafe and Jada found Lonnie. Oh, thank God. Is she okay? Well, she’s admitted to the hospital, but she’s gonna be fine. Yes, that’s, that’s the best news ever. Yeah, and there’s more, honey, so maybe you could come down to the hospital and I could fill you in?

Yes, I am, I’m on the way. And Kayla. Thank you. You’re welcome. See you soon.

They found Lonnie. She’s in the hospital right now, but she’s okay. I need to get there, like, right now. Yeah. I’ll give you a ride. Let’s go. I’m coming, sis. I’m coming.

My sweet baby girl. Is she asleep or? I don’t know. I thought Rafe and Kayla would be here to give us an update.

Mom? Mom? Eli? Oh, baby, we’re here. We’re here. I have never been more happy to see you. How do you feel? Should I get a doctor? No. I’m okay. Oh. What happened? Nurse King, she, she drugged me. What? She was, she was trying to kill me. Wait, when? Oh, you know what, Eli? She’s exhausted. You know, maybe the questions can wait.

Um, no, I’m… I have something to… I have something to tell you. Oh, honey, honey, Lonnie, sweetheart, I want to hear everything you have to say, but, you know, now is not the time. It’s important. Lonnie, your mom’s right. All right, why don’t you get some rest, and I’ll have Ray fill me in. Uh huh, we’ll talk later when you’re feeling better.

Listen to me, Mom. Dad is alive. Hi.

Hi. What did you say? I found my father. And he’s alive. Well, this is the drug talking, right? She’s confused? No, not at all. She’s telling the truth.

You get out of here, Charlemagne. I mean it. No. No, look, we’ve got to get this thing turned off, and we’ve got to get some air circulating in here. Stay away from that heater. This air is toxic, don’t you understand? You think I don’t know that? Listen to me. You came to me for help ages ago, and I… I didn’t help you.

I failed you. Give me a chance to help you now. What are you talking about? You were in so much pain. Your husband had died and you felt that you were responsible. You blamed yourself for it. You came to me to help you deal with the pain you were feeling. It’s all my fault. He died alone. They all died alone.

This is my chance to fix it. I can fix it. No, no, no. Don’t you understand? It was an accident. I’m so sorry, my love. We should have been together. And this time we will be. This is my chance to make it right. Whitley, listen to me. It was not your fault. When your husband died, it was a terrible, tragic accident.

Uh, I, I do remember coming to you for some help. Okay, let me help you now. I can be there for you. I can, I can help you through this terrible pain that you’re feeling. Just, just trust me.

Freeze! I

really just said, our father’s alive. He is. There was a witness that saw Abe fall in the river. He lied. How do you know that? Because I talked to him. Jerry Prentiss? When? After the funeral. I, I left the park and I went to his apartment. Um, I had a hunch he was hiding something and I got him to admit it. He admitted it to John and Steve also.

They tracked him down in L. A. and he told them that he made up the story about Abe drowning and that he planted Abe’s blood and the hospital bracelet on the dock. But why? It’s Nurse King, Mama. She paid him to fake Daddy’s death. Well, where is he? Where is my Abraham? Well, I need to get to him. We think that he’s at Nurse King’s apartment.

Rafe and Jada just left and hopefully they will end this nightmare once and for all. She’s, she’s had daddy all this time and when I found out I, I went straight to her apartment but she drugged me as soon as I got there and, and before I could get him out of there. Mom, she, she’s been sedating him and she’s been telling him that she’s you and he’s all turned around.

Oh my, precious husband is…

Drop it and put your hands up.

I’ll do it. I’ll blow us all to kingdom come. Oh, no, no, no, no, Whitley, don’t. Jada, You flick that lighter, and this whole place will be a giant fireball. We came to rescue Abe, and we are not leaving without him. No. No, I will not be alone. I did all of this so I can be with my husband, and you will not take him away from me.

Who

are all these people? Miss King. Put the lighter down. No! Now all of you get out! Get out! Quickly, quickly. I’m not going to leave you alone. I’m not. I will stay right with you, but… Abe. Abe has family. They’re worried about him. Abe needs to go home. He is home. He’s home here with me. And I’m taking him and all of you with me right now.

If you back up or we’re all going straight to God right now. No, Whitney, I want you to think about who you are. I’ll remind you, Whitney, you’re a nurse. You’re a nurse. Your job is to help people that are feeling vulnerable. That’s what you do. That is your code. I don’t know if this is right. Nobody’s going to hurt you, but I can help you through this.

And I will. I will. All you’ve got to do is give me the lighter.

Message received. Loud and clear. And I will now get out of your hair. Really this time.

Can I ask you one question first?

Sure. Chad and I have been together for a while. Things between you and me have basically been fine. So why do you think this is coming up now? I’m not sure, Steph.

But maybe because I’ve now seen you two move in together, take that next big step, and it’s driving home to me that I’ll never have what you guys have. Look, Alex, you can be a lot sometimes, but despite your flaws, you’re a serious catch. Okay? One of these days, you’re gonna meet someone who’s perfect for you.

Yeah, I don’t know about all that,

but… Look, the only thing that’s important to me right now is having your friendship. I hope I still do. You still do, but… No more being a jerk. Exactly. Bring it in.

Look, what are you doing?

What the hell’s the matter with you? You kidding? Dad? It is not what you think. What I think is that, is that he can’t take no for an answer. So he forced himself up. Dude, that’s not what happened. Shut up. Alex and I were just having a very productive talk about boundaries. Boundaries. What? Boundaries. Well, he had his hands all over you.

I was the one who hugged him. Because Alex understands now that he was crossing a line and he promised he’ll stop. Stephanie made me realize that I’ve been a jerk lately. So I want to sincerely apologize to you as well, Chad. Now I know my actions and behavior has shown otherwise, but… I am rooting for you guys.

Oh, I hope that’s true. It is. I came by to drop off your robe. Thank you. I’m leaving now.

Thank you. For what? I’m not telling him to get lost for good.

I guess I overreacted a little bit. You sure did. Abraham is alive! Alive! Tell me I’m dreaming, and please, please, God, let him be okay. I know, it’s a lot to take in. Why don’t I take you to the nurse’s station? You can sit down and we’ll wait for word, okay? Oh, there’s no way I could sit, not till I lay my eyes on my husband and know he’s okay.

Oh, oh. We need to give these two a moment alone. Oh, oh. Precious darling girl, you rest up, you’re gonna need that strength soon, when you come home to your two beautiful babies. You take care of her, she’s a hero. Yeah, she sure is.

You just couldn’t wait for backup, huh? You had to go straight to that nurse’s place? Hmm. My father. Wait, say that again? My father. He’s safe. You’re both safe.

Yes, Captain. The location is secure. We’ll be transporting the prisoner soon. And, uh, Put the mental health team on alert.

Miss King, You’re going to get the help that you need. But first I need to read you your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right.

You have the right to have a lawyer present. If you cannot afford a lawyer, one will be appointed for you.

Paulina? Oh, I’m so glad you’re here. Where’s Lenny? She’s okay, right? Yes, yes, yes. Eli’s in with her now. Oh, yes, honey. She’s going to be just fine. Yes, yes, but there’s more. That’s what Kayla said on the phone. What are you guys talking about? Oh, Theo, it’s a miracle. What is?

Dad? Abraham!

What’s going on here? What’s going on is that you’ve come home to us, my sweet husband. You’ve come home.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Hey, Sweetness. Greetings from La La Land. You’re in Los Angeles? Well, well, did you find Jerry Prentiss? No, not yet. After John and I missed him at the bus terminal in Salem, we hopped on a plane, took a gamble that he might be headed here to resume his acting career. Well, that sounds like a good bet. Yeah, we’ll see.

Bus from Chicago should arrive any minute. Well, hopefully he’ll be on it and you’ll be able to ask him what he’s hiding about Abe. That’s the plan. Okay, keep me posted. Oh, and Steve. I love you. I love you too, baby.

Figured you could use this since you didn’t sleep on the flight. Well, I noticed you were wide awake too. Well, we’ll rest once we get some justice for our buddy. Chicago bus just arrived. Keep your eyes peeled for our man.

Oh.

Oh. Oh. Hey. I came to see how you’re doing. Very kind of you. Come in. Hey.

So, I, I know that was difficult for you yesterday, but you got through it. Did my best. Yeah. Paulina, I’m here for you, okay? We, we’re all here for you. Whatever you need. I appreciate that, but, uh, right now I’m so worried about Lonnie. She left, right? She went back to prison? No, she did not go back to prison.

What do you mean? I mean, as of right now, I have no idea where my daughter is.

Good morning, everyone. Oh, who’s ready for breakfast? What a glorious day, and what a glorious way to start our day with a heart healthy bowl of oatmeal. And you know, I always take good care. Take care of you, Abraham, my darling, darling husband. We are just, we’re so blessed. First, we had a visit from your loving son and, and now we get to spend time with our beautiful daughter.

Well,

shall we dig in? Bon Appetit, everyone. There you go. Isn’t this nice? Well… Eat up!

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

So, Lonnie is missing? That doesn’t make any sense. It sure doesn’t. I, I, I couldn’t imagine, you know. What could have happened to her? Okay, okay, why don’t you just walk me through it, okay? So you told me that she, that after the funeral she wanted to stay in the park alone, right? To gather her thoughts? Yeah, but she knew she couldn’t stay too long because Rafe was coming here to take her back to prison.

The last thing she said to me was, Don’t worry, I’ll be there in time, but she never showed. She’s been MIA all night. Okay. Okay, but we both know that she would never run. Oh, no, of course not, Lonnie. Lonnie would never do anything that would keep her away from her babies one minute longer than she needs to be.

So, did she try to call? She’s on furlough. Doesn’t have a phone. Oh, it’s just, it’s killing me to just sit here and wait. Oh, oh, Rafe said there’s no need to panic, but how can I not? Well, and I’m sure Rafe has every available officer out looking for her. No, it’s just him and Jada and Theo. Rafe doesn’t want to get the Salem PD involved because then they’d be obligated to report Lonnie missing.

Of course, of course, I see. Rafe promised me that he would find my daughter before anyone realized that she was gone. But why can’t three people search an entire town? Helena, I am sure they’re doing their damnedest, you know? You’re just gonna have to give it a little bit more time. There is no time. The prison called yesterday, asking where Lonnie was.

Rafe, he’s trying to solve him. He’s doing his best to get this solved before it does become a police matter.

Hey, thanks.

I just came by to pick up a few things from my office.

Any word on the search for Lonnie? Nothing yet. Oh,

God. It’s the U. S. Marshal. Again. When they didn’t return Lonnie to prison last night, they brought out the big guns. This guy’s been blowing up my phone ever since. I don’t know how much longer I can stall him. Yeah, kind of tough not being able to use the department’s resources. It is. If we make this official police business, then this marshal’s gonna know what’s going on.

Yeah, and then Lonnie will be considered a fugitive. There’s just no damn way she would’ve run. Then how do you explain her going missing? I’ve only got one explanation. She’s in serious trouble.

Wasn’t it so nice for our daughter to come and visit us all the way from Maryland after being released from prison? Oh, oh, but she’s refusing to eat just like she did when she was a baby. Look at you. You were so, so skinny. Well, Mama’s just gonna have to help you out the way she did when you were a baby.

So, here we go. Here comes the airplane. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Look what you made your poor mother do. You are not my mother.

Hi. Hey. Come on in. I was just texting John. Yeah, I just got off the phone with Steve. It seems that he and John are in Los Angeles trying to intercept Jerry Prentiss at the bus station. Let’s hope they succeed.

Dammit. Guess we’re wrong about Prentiss heading to L. A. Not much chance we’re gonna find him now. Oh, God.

Jerry Paredes. Who wants to know? Two of Abraham Carver’s best friends.

What’s this all about? How’d you find me? You were in a big hurry to leave Salem, weren’t you Jerry? I needed to get out here for work. The reason you shot out of your window so fast is so we couldn’t question you about Abraham. I already told the police everything I know. No, not everything. You didn’t tell them you were hanging around outside Abe’s hospital room the day he disappeared.

That’s because I wasn’t. That’s not what our eyewitness says, punk. What eyewitness?

Nurse King said she saw this young man hanging around Abe’s hospital room. The day that Abe disappeared, right. And you know, right from the get go, John and Steve thought that the whole thing didn’t add up, what happened to Abe. We all felt that way. Yeah, so they decided to look at everything again, starting with Nurse King’s statement.

You know, the day of his funeral, they laid everything out at our house, and they were looking at it again when Chanel stopped by. She just wanted to get photos for Abe’s funeral, but she gave them some new information. What did she say? That Nurse King seemed very interested in Abe. Maybe even obsessed.

What does that mean? Well, she worked as a volunteer on his campaign. She was at the park the day that he and Paulina exchanged vows. She watched the whole thing. And then, when Abe passed away, she personally went to Pauline’s apartment to give her condolences. Well, all those, all those things individually aren’t a concern, but when you put them together…

Right. It certainly aroused Steve’s suspicion, so he came here yesterday to talk to her. Oh. And is that when she brought up Prentiss? Yeah. Uh, and then she took off looking for me to tender her resignation. She’s resigned? Yeah. I mean, it’s surprising, isn’t it? I mean, she’s worked here for 15 years. She was a stellar employee.

There was beautiful, glowing reviews of her. Did she get a job that was better for her somewhere else? I don’t think so. Then why would she leave? Well, she said that, um, she wanted a fresh start. And that Salem wasn’t the same since Abe died. Well, that’s true. Does it seem a little odd to you that she would resign?

Right around the time that he died? Well, that’s what I thought. But she really talked about him like they were friends. I mean, maybe they were closer and she knew him better than we think. Look, Abe has hosted a number of engagements over the last 15 years. I’ve never seen her in any, and I don’t think I’ve ever heard him mention her name.

You think we should be worried? Well, no, I’m not, I’m not sure. I don’t think… I

just remembered. I treated her. She was a patient of mine. Lonnie, I know you grew up thinking that my sister Tamara was your mama. But I’m the one that gave birth to you. You’re insane. Oh, please don’t be upset. I thought we moved past all of this, remember? You know how sorry I am that I kept that secret for so long.

Now the truth is out. The truth. None of this is even remotely true. Please. Remain calm. Your father is still recovering. Recovering. He would recover a lot faster if you would stop shooting him up with drugs, keeping him catatonic. I take excellent care of Abraham. You are holding him prisoner while the rest of his family thinks he’s dead.

Yeah, that’s right. I spoke to your sidekick, Jerry Prentiss, and he told me all about how you’ve been pretending to be Paulina. You are a liar and a fake and not a thing like my mother. Lonnie’s

in trouble. I can feel it in my bones. Like you said, she’d never run. So, where in God’s name is she? She

just lost her father. You know, maybe, the thought of immediately going back to prison was too much for her. Maybe she just wanted to take a little time Rafe.

I know, but sometimes when we’re grieving, we don’t think straight, and we just, we do something spur of the moment without even thinking it through. Um, Lonnie knows better than anyone what missing that deadline would mean for her future. And besides, Rafe vouched for her, and there’s no way he’d let her down like this.

No, if my daughter isn’t making contact, it’s because she can’t. Look, um, just because she hasn’t contacted you doesn’t necessarily mean there’s anything wrong. You know, I stayed up all night thinking of a scenario where, when Lonnie wasn’t either hurt or in harm’s way and I couldn’t, not a single one. If you think Lonnie’s in trouble, then maybe we should use the department’s help.

I am still holding out hope that there’s a reason that she has gone AWOL. I know we’re under the gun here, but I don’t want to risk it. I don’t want to add time to her sentence and keep her away from her kids. Well then, maybe we’ll just have to find her ourselves. Thank you. Thank you for everything. But I got this, alright?

So you go on home. Get some sleep. Okay. You couldn’t even tell me to take it easy when you were my boss. What makes you think you can do it as a civilian? I’m sorry, that wasn’t funny. No. No, no, no. No, it’s okay. Like I said, I don’t regret anything that I have done. And if I had the chance, if I could go back, I would do it all over again.

And after we find Lonnie, I would love to do it again and again. All the time. Reef Hernandez? Yes. I’m Sam Gerard, United States Marshal’s Office. I understand you have my prisoner, Lonnie Grant? So, where is she?

Did you hear me, Commissioner? Where is Lonnie Grant? Inspector Gerard. I’m Detective Hunter. Why don’t I get you some coffee? You told the Maryland warden that you would have the prisoner back in her cell by Lights Out. Lights Out was at 11 last night. I’ve been trying to reach you since then. Left several messages.

Yeah, I’m sorry about that. I’m Yeah, um So what happened? The acting? Mayor here recently relieved me of my duties, so things have been a little hectic around here. The terms of Lonnie Grant’s release clearly state that she is to return to prison immediately following her father’s funeral. She is in violation of those terms.

You need to turn her over. Yeah, I’m afraid I can’t do that. Why not? Because I don’t know where she is.

It seems as if our little girl is confused. So tell her, Abraham. Tell her who I am. Daddy, you don’t have to do anything she says. She’s crazy. Wow. Not only is Lani confused, but she’s also very disrespectful. So while you’re clarifying things for her, remind her of the Fifth Commandment. Thou shalt honor thy father and thy mother.

Look, I have utmost faith in Rafe. He’s going to find Lonnie, no doubt in my mind. I’m surprised to hear you say that. Why? Look, I know Rafe is a good man and he cares about me and my family. I do not question his character or integrity. But, his detective skills, um. Oh, what about them? I’m trying to find a way to put this delicately.

Forgive me. Okay. Well, I mean, don’t worry about that. Whatever it is you have to say, just say it. I just don’t understand how you can be so sure Rafe is going to find my daughter when he failed to find your son.

My son?

Oh, he went missing a while back and the police still haven’t found him. Am I right?

Yeah, yeah. You’re right. You’re right. They didn’t find him.

And I’m okay with that. Because I know with absolute certainty that he’s alive.

Let me let you in on a little secret, fellas. Whitley King is a liar. I’m not surprised you tried to throw me under the bus. Well, here’s our little secret. We’re going to throw you under a bus, literally, unless you start cooperating. Wait, wait, wait. Why would Nurse King say that she saw you outside Abe’s hospital room if she didn’t?

Why else? Because she’s trying to throw suspicion off of herself. I mean, hello? She works there. She knows exactly how to get a patient past the security cameras. So you’re going on record right now saying Nurse King kidnapped Abe. What possible motive would she have to do that? You’d have to ask her. But probably because she’s freaking nuts.

Hang on a second. Are you saying that she killed Abe too? No, no, no, no, no, no. Nobody killed Abe. Your friend is alive.

Whitley King was one of your patients? According to our file, we had several sessions.

Sessions in the fall of 2021. Well, that explains it. Yeah. That’s why I am only remembering it just now. In the fall of 2021, you were possessed.

Our girl’s got a bit of the devil in her, doesn’t she? Look at her. All that fire in her eyes. Untie me, you delusional bitch, and I’ll show you fire. Oh, my. Listen to that language. We raised her to be God fearing, humble, and honest. The only one not being honest here is you. Lord, give me the strength to hold my temper and my tongue while my husband tells her the truth.

Go ahead, honey. Tell her who I

am. I, uh, I don’t know. I, I don’t know who anyone is anymore.

Daddy. You are Abraham Carver. You are my father and my hero. You are the finest man I have ever known. Dad, I’m your daughter. Lonnie Price Grant. I am your family. This woman is not. She is not my mother and she is not your wife. She’s a crazy psychopath who kidnapped you. Enough! Enough! Enough! Don’t you say another word to him.

Don’t you say another word. As God is my witness, you will be so sorry.

Lying to a federal agent is a felony. I’d arrest you right now. But I have a prisoner to find. We want Lonnie found just as badly as you do. I really hope that’s true. What is that supposed to mean? Grant is a friend of yours, yes? Yeah, I don’t see how that’s relevant. Sometimes we do favors for our friends.

But I might remind you. That harboring a fugitive is also a felony. Lonnie is not a fugitive. She’s missing, okay? So you’re telling me she didn’t run? No, absolutely not. As you know, Lonnie is a model prisoner. She’s up for parole in six months. She’s got two kids back home who she’s dying to see. She would never do anything to jeopardize that.

She already has. And this department is, at best, indifferent to, and at worst, complicit in her escape. If you would just listen to You deliberately deceived the Maryland Department of Corrections and the United States Marshal Service. And you helped him do it. So now, I am going to use the full force of my agency to apprehend the fugitive and make her return to prison.

She’ll remain for a very long time. Okay, Inspector Giroir. Listen, before you make that call,

hear me out, okay? Lonnie used to be a cop. And just, just like the three of us, she risked her life to protect and to serve. She’s a convicted murderer. She killed a man who abused and terrorized her mother. And then Lonnie did the responsible thing and she turned herself in. Lonnie is a good person and a model citizen so I am sure that she has a damn good reason for not being here.

Yeah, Detective Hunter and I, we spent all last night looking for her. Not because we thought that she had fled, because we were worried about her. Worried that something horrible happened. So please, just will you help us find Lonnie before it’s too late.

I’ll make a call. And track Grant using her ankle bracelet. Thank you. If I get a location, we’re gonna head over there together. So I can take your friend to prison. Be

so sure your son is alive if the police can’t find him. They can’t find him. Because I hid him. After I found out that he had faked his own death, to frame Brady for his murder. Oh God. It’s a really long, upsetting story, and after I had heard the whole thing and I knew what he had done and why he did it, I realized that he needed serious help, so his father and I had him sent to a Private psychiatric facility in Europe.

Oh, Kate. I’m so sorry. I had no idea. No, I know. I know. And the only reason I’m telling you now is so that you’ll understand that I do know what you’re going through. When I thought Philip was dead, the pain that I felt, I know that’s the pain you’re feeling now. And I don’t want you to feel that way. I don’t want anyone to feel that way.

But, I have to face facts. What if Lonnie is Lonnie? Lonnie is smart. And Lonnie is strong. And she’s resilient. And I think she’s fine. I just pray that you’re right. I am right. Because God never gives us too much to handle. And you have had more than enough heartbreak for losing me.

Abe’s alive. You told the police that you saw him fall into the river. I lied. I know. To do something like that. Okay. Okay. Nurse King hired me to fake Abe’s death. Okay. I, I planted the blood and the house would bracelet at the docks blood. Where’d you get his blood from? Her, but, but don’t worry. Okay. He, he’s fine.

Oh, uh, relatively. I mean, she’s had him at her home on some pretty heavy sedatives. Oh my god, I’m gonna kill this guy. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. So listen, let me get this straight. This woman paid you to make us all believe that Abe is dead. Why would you sign on to something like that? I signed on to what I thought was an acting gig, okay?

She, she hired me to, to play Abe’s son while she played his wife. And, and, I, I, I thought it was helping him out. I thought it was some kind of like, Or, or, or whatever. And when you realized it wasn’t, you didn’t go to the police? I mean, I wanted to, but she said the, the cops would never take my word over hers.

And that I would go to prison. And, uh, I’m surprised you guys don’t know all of this. I, I told Abe’s daughter already. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You talked to Lonnie? When? Uh, yesterday. Uh, when she came to question me. Lonnie’s not a cop anymore. Yeah, well, she, she came to my door, uh, wanting to talk about Abe.

Wait, and you told Lonnie that Whitley King was holding her father hostage at her apartment? Yeah, and she ran over there to save him.

Alrighty, I suppose breakfast is over. It’s time for Paulina to clean up. You are not Paulina! Your name is Whitley King. You’re a nurse at University Hospital. Do you hear me? You are Whitley King. You’re a nurse. You are not my mother and that is not your husband.

Oh my God.

Nurse King, she was one of the patients that I treated when I was possessed. I shudder to think what I would have said to her. It wasn’t you, Marlena. You could not beat yourself up for the things that you said and did during that time. Let’s

see. Oh, dear God. A poor woman. What a horrible way to lose the man you love. Carbon monoxide poisoning. From a malfunctioning… Space heater, he went to sleep and never woke up. Oh, she and her husband, they had three cats. They died too.

I’m Whitley Kane. Yes. And you need help. I’m afraid you’re confused again. I’m the one that helps people. I helped your father. You kidnapped him. No, no, I saved him. There was this man who hurt him and he wanted to hurt him again, so I saved him. I brought him here and, and, and been taking care of him. He’s getting better.

Oh, Abraham, tell her. Keep telling me. You keep telling me to tell her something. You keep saying you’re, you’re my wife. I don’t know. I don’t know who you are. Daddy, it’s okay. This is all going to be over soon. Okay? I’m going to take care of you. No! I’m the one who takes care of him! Please! Nurse King, listen to me.

I used to be a police officer here in Salem. And I have a lot of friends on the force. Including the commissioner. Okay? If you let us walk out of here, I will go straight down to the station and I will explain everything that happened. I will make sure that nothing bad happens to anyone. Okay? But you, you have to do your part.

You have to set us free. No. Never. No.

When Phillip went missing, I just… I went into a deep denial. You know, I refused to accept that he was gone. Until that became impossible. Why? How so? All of the evidence continued to mount. The trail of his blood leading down to the river. The bloody knife covered in Brady’s fingerprints that was found at the scene of the crime.

I mean, the police couldn’t find his body, but of course now, I know why. But when they found his prosthetic leg in the water, I had to accept the fact that my son is dead. Until I found out that wasn’t true, that he’s alive and…

What are you thinking? That your son’s case… It sounds a whole lot like what happened to my Abraham.

Nurse King, this has to end. No it doesn’t. Nobody knows you’re here. As I’ve said, they are out there looking for me. And not just the police, the FBI, the U. S. Marshals. What are you talking about? They let me out of prison to go to my father’s funeral. But I was supposed to be back yesterday. And by now, I’m sure that there is a full fledged manhunt.

And with all those officers out there, it is only a matter of time before they find me. How? How? How will they find you? I’m wearing an ankle monitor. They can track my exact location.

Everything was fine. You ruined everything. Your father and I were building a beautiful life together until you showed up. You have ruined everything. Miss King, please let us go. No. No, you shut up. I’m not listening to you anymore.

Nurse King confessed in therapy that she woke up one morning for her shift at the hospital and their apartment was freezing. They’ve been having some issues with the heat for a while. Her husband wasn’t feeling well that day, so he stayed home from work. She set him up on the couch along with her cats.

Cut out the new space heater she’d bought. It was a ventless gas heater. Apparently, there was some sort of a malfunction. And the first time Whitney told anyone the whole story was in the session with you. Yeah. She never admitted that to the police. She was too ashamed. She believed that the death of her husband and her pets was her fault.

Well, but the devil did nothing to disabuse her of that notion. I’m sure that’s true. Probably toyed with her. Used her guilt to torture her, made her suffer as much as he possibly could.

I told you everything I know. And if you have any more questions, talk to Nurse King. Can I, can I go now? No. You’re not going anywhere, punk. Because you have aided and abetted a kidnapping. If you come back to Salem with us, I’ll let Rafe know he needs to get over to Nurse King’s right away. Rafe’s not on the force anymore.

Slipped my mind. I need a call.

It’s Steve. I got a location on Grant. Let’s go.

I am begging you. Please don’t do this. This will all be so much easier if you just close your eyes and drift away. So you’re gonna kill me, huh? What do you think that’s gonna do to my father? Believe me, I, I didn’t wanna do this, but you left me with no choice. No, no, no, no.

Left a message for Jada. We can’t sit around here and wait for a call back. No, you need to get ahold of someone in Salem. Tell him that Abe is alive and being held against his will and already on it.

Alina. I was just trying to reassure you. I know, I know you didn’t mean to get my hopes up about Abe. But Kate, there are a number of similarities between his case and Phillip’s. Abraham’s hospital bracelet. was found on the docks along with his blood. So everyone just assumed he drowned. Yes, that’s true.

But a witness saw him fall into the water, but his body just like Phillips was never found. All I’m saying is, it’s not such a huge leap to think that if your son can be alive, then my husband could be too.

That woman was in so much pain and she never got the help that she needed. It says here that her biggest regret is that she wasn’t there when her husband died. That she never had a chance to say goodbye. I wonder if Abe’s death somehow triggered that guilt.

Well, I don’t know whether she will take my call or not, but I do think I need to reach out to her, make sure she’s okay.

Lonnie was right about one thing. We can’t go on like this.

We were so ready to start our new beautiful life together, taking the kiddies and all. Starting a new life filled with happiness and love.

Oh, you’re right. You’re right. It’d be so difficult, especially when everyone’s out there looking for you and learning about the truth of what I did. Just not ready to give you up yet. No, I’m not. I can’t. I just can’t.

This is where Lonnie’s monitor pinged. That’s where Rave fell in the water. Where is she? There! Lonnie! Lonnie, where are you? Lonnie?

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

I am so sorry that I am late. Someone thought it was a great idea to have a water balloon fight in the middle of town square. Which, you know, then means extra cleanup for you know who. Not that I’m complaining or anything. After everything I helped Collin do to Chanel and her family, I am lucky to only walk away with community service.

Although I am committing fashion crimes on a daily basis. Ada, hello? Like, are you listening to me? Sorry, I’m, I’m just, I’m just a bit distracted. Really? Well, what’s on your mind? Rafe, I can’t stop thinking about how being with me has cost him everything. Paulina. Paulina. Paulina! Take a breath, okay? Take a deep breath.

Everything’s gonna be okay. We will find Lonnie. Listen to me. I can stall the prison. No, I do not want to involve Salem PD right now. Paulina, I’m gonna find Lonnie before anyone ever realizes she was even missing, okay? Okay. Okay, good. I’ll be in touch. Okay.

Hey. Hey. So, should I cancel the reservation? Yeah, unfortunately. It’s a madhouse here right now. It’s like everyone decided to get sick on the same night. I’m so sorry. No, but we can, we can go to the beach show another night this week, okay? Sure. Yeah, that’s fine. Really. Just go save lives, Dr. Johnson. I’ll find something to nuke in the microwave and I’ll see you when you get back.

Okay? See you then.

Dear Jing, when you are right, I need to find a way to move on from Gabby for real this time I hope Matchmaker I told you about, she found someone perfect for me or so she claims, and I have a date tonight. Wish me luck.

Hmm. You know, I have to say that you, District Attorney Trascar, are the last person I expected to be having dinner with tonight. I mean, of all the women in Salem, for me to be We’re not in a courtroom, Lee. And here, I’m not the DA. Oh, no? Then, who are you? Um, I’m Melinda. I’m a woman on a date with a very attractive man that I’d like to get to know a little better.

Despite our rather… scratchy… past. Okay then, Melinda, it is.

So, um, what looks good to you? Well, uh, small bar salmon is definitely my favorite. Oh, and mine. So I guess we have a lot more in common than our shared taste in good wine.

So, tell me, why exactly did you let Dimitri move in here? I didn’t. Stefan made that decision unilaterally, which infuriated me at first. But once I had time to think about it, I realized it’s best to keep him close by so we can keep an eye on him. And hopefully influence him to vote his shares in the company.

Well, good luck with that. Yeah, I think we’re gonna need it. So, um, how was Abe’s funeral? I mean, it was a lovely service. But after standing around with friends and family, it just finally started to feel real. Mm. You know, we lost such a good man. He was so kind. Abe was like a father figure to you. Yeah.

Speaking of which, I have some news for you, Daddy. Oh. About our future child. A. K. A. Our baby. Mm hmm. Mm hmm. Yes,

Colin, of course I’m going to represent you at trial tomorrow. And no, I’m not too busy with my new boyfriend. No, he has no ideas. Could be the father of Nicole’s baby. Eric is completely in the dark.

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

So I, I kept hoping I was hearing that wrong, but did the new mayor really fire you? Acting mayor. Yeah, he did. Yeah. You heard right. What is this guy’s deal? I mean, what is he, on some kind of crazy power trip? Please, please tell me you’re at least going to fight this, right? What can I do? I violated department policy.

Ah, so. You and Detective Hunter… Yeah. Yeah. Is it serious? It’s new. We both care about each other. Yeah, I’m happy to hear that. I mean, not that, you know, you losing your job thing, that sucks. Right, yeah. But, uh. Yeah, thanks. I’m glad that you found someone. Yeah. Yeah, me too. I know it was tough. You know, the, the divorce with Nicole.

Uh huh. Yeah. It was, actually. Yeah. But you know what? We were never meant to be. And, um, everyone else saw it. You know, as soon as our marriage became a disaster, everyone knew. Everyone knew she was going back to your Uncle Eric. Yeah. Yeah. Except now she’s with my dad, and we’re having a baby, and just… What?

Nicole’s pregnant? What about our baby? Well, I talked to Dr. Swanson today. And? And everything’s fine. I’m happy to report. But she also said that at our appointment tomorrow, we can… Find out if our little angel is a boy or a girl. I mean, that is, if you want to.

I have to go. I’ll see you at the courthouse tomorrow. Hey. Hey. I didn’t know you were going to be here. Well, you weren’t here, so I let myself in. Well, that’s the point of me giving you a key. Um, how was Mayor Carver’s funeral? Stupid question. I’m sure it was terribly sad. Yeah, it was. So who were you on the phone with before?

And what exactly am I in the dark about? Oh

my god, what are you doing home? I figured you were getting all glammed up. I didn’t want to miss it. I, I know, I know, but hey, I do really love this book you got going on. No. Stop. Okay, this is the look of a woman who got stood up by her uber busy doctor boyfriend. Oh, her uber busy doctor boyfriend who managed to convince someone to go with them tonight so we can still hit up the Hmm.

Well. I was also thinking that since I was uber busy at work overseeing the new install for the security patches for BasicBlock’s entire e commerce infrastructure. That sounds like fun. Yeah, it was a blast. I was kind of more in the mood to stay in. If that’s okay with you. It’s totally fine. Besides, we do have the whole place to ourselves.

Yeah? Where’s Lee? On a date. My favorite movie of all time? Let’s see. It’d have to be Casablanca. Yours? Casablanca is definitely one of my favorites, but I have to say that, um, The Godfather tops my list. The trilogy, completely, and also Citizen Kane. I actually just saw Nope, the Jordan Peele film. Have you seen it?

It’s just great. So you’re a bit of a movie buff, are you? It’s one of my passions.

How’s your salmon? Um, it’s perfect. Yours?

It’s also perfect.

You know, um, I haven’t really hit it off. Like this with someone in a long time.

I haven’t really been dating much since my divorce. Hardly ever, really. I didn’t know you were married. I was, to an abusive son of a bitch. I’m sorry to hear that. Yeah, well, I broke free before things got too ugly. I guess that’s why I have a soft spot for women like Talia Hunter. Hmm, Colin Bedford’s girlfriend.

Yeah, he had this sick hold on her and convinced her to do horrendous things to settle his personal scores. But she broke free of him, thank God. I just, I hope she makes the most of her second chance. I hope you’re not blaming yourself for Rafe losing his job. I mean, it seems like this acting mayor guy is totally tripping.

I know, but Rafe and I still broke the rules. I mean, even though our relationship was 100% consensual. I mean, he just happened to be my boss. I mean, it’s good to know he’s not the kind of guy that would use his position to get someone in the bed. Oh, no, never. Well, believe me, I wanted that man just as much as he wanted me.

I mean, Rafe is an amazing guy. He’s sweet, kind, funny. Wow, Jada, look, if you’re this crazy about this guy, I mean, it just might be worth him getting fired.

Wow, Nicole’s pregnant. I am so sorry, I, I, I thought you already knew that. No, I did not. I mean, I didn’t even think it was possible for her to have a baby. You know, I mean, to carry one to term. Well, it is considered a, uh, high risk pregnancy, but, you know, my dad flew in some expert to oversee it all, so…

Yeah, of course he did. Yeah. You know what? I’m happy for her. Yeah. I’m happy for both of them. I’m sure your dad’s thrilled. Yeah, he is. Especially now that he knows he’s the father. He’s thrilled. To what? Oh. Oh, crap. Uh, you know what? Just, just, just forget that I even said that. No, no, no, no, You gotta tell me now.

Okay, look. I’ll tell you, but you can’t go spreading this around. Okay, yeah, who am I gonna tell? Right, um, Okay, well, uh, The thing is, before they got the DNA test done, There was a chance that the baby was my Uncle Eric’s.

Oh, man.

Well, How am I in the dark? Well, I was just on the phone with my brother. He’s at the jail, and, you know, he starts his trial tomorrow. Oh, and what does that have to do with me? Well, it doesn’t, really. Not directly, anyway. He was just… He was asking about us and how things were going, and… And? And, uh, okay. I’ve been keeping something from you.

We can find out if we’re having a boy or a girl tomorrow. And if you want to. I see. So, do you want to? I don’t know, do you? I don’t know. Okay, great. It’s settled. Are you sure you’re not just saying, I don’t know, because you want me to answer first? No, is that what you’re doing? No, this is not going to go anywhere.

Um, okay, how about this? Why don’t we answer at the same time? Really? What’s wrong with that? I don’t know. It just seems kind of silly. Okay, yes, fine, let’s do it. Okay, ready? Yes. On the count of three. One, two… Okay, wait, wait, wait, wait. Is it one, two, and then our answer? Or is it one, two, three, and our answer?

The second one. So, one, two, three, answer. Yes. Okay. Okay. Ready? Yeah. Okay. One, two… Stop it. Oh, sorry. One, two, three… No.

You don’t want to know the sex of our baby. That’s why I said no. You’d rather be surprised? No, it’s not about being surprised. I’ve had enough surprises with this pregnancy. And what is it? I, I just, I guess I don’t want to, I don’t want to tempt fate. You know, finding out if this baby is a boy or a girl, that’s when it starts to feel real.

You know, I start to wonder, you know, what’s he gonna look like, or, or what’s her name gonna be?

And that’s a bad thing?

I just don’t want to risk it at this point. I mean,

what if I get emotionally attached to this baby and I lose it?

Sloane, no more dancing around. What are you keeping from me?

I’m late.

Uh, as in? Yeah, that kind of late.

Are you saying you might be pregnant?

You know what? I shouldn’t be surprised. Right? I mean, Nicole goes straight from our disaster of her marriage into a paternity mess with two of her ex husbands. It was pretty messy. Yeah. Yeah, par for the course, unfortunately. Yeah, well, you know, I’m not really one to talk, I guess. Yeah. You know what? Me neither.

And, uh, as much as it does hurt that it cost me my job, I must say that I am relieved to be in a drama free relationship with Jada. Yeah. Yeah, drama free relationship sounds really nice. You still seeing, um, Wendy shit? No. No. No, that’s… That’s over. Oh. Yeah. Oh, sorry to hear that. Well, it’s like you said, with you and Nicole, right?

It just wasn’t meant to be. She’s with Tripp now.

Yes, you go, girl. You really love this show, huh? Okay, my Zumo got me hooked. She’s been watching Body and Soul since it started. You gotta love those, uh, smutty family traditions, huh? Okay. No, I, I, okay, I get that you have a soap opera addiction, but can you please explain to me how you can eat this stuff? Oh, it doesn’t compare to filet mignon at the bistro, huh?

Well, it means fine dining when I have you.

And have I told you how happy I am that you chose me to be your boyfriend? I really like hearing it.

And have I told you how sorry I am that I put you through that dumb competition? It’s okay. It’s worth it. Not for Johnny.

Please tell me you don’t feel bad for him. I mean, he’ll probably be back with Chanel by the end of the week, or with some new girlfriend. Oh, I know. Yeah. Johnny will be fine in the romance department. Actually, it’s my brother I’m worried about. Really hope he’s enjoying himself on this date.

So, if you polled most people in Salem, what do you think they’d say about you? What do you think they’d say? That you’re ruthless and a little scary. But I’m seeing a different side of you. The compassionate side. I admire what you did for Talia Hunter. Thank you for saying that. And you know, I’m seeing a different side of you as well.

And I may have been a little harsh with you before. And yes, you did break the law. And I do not condone all you did to keep Gabby in your life. But? But, I’ve had my own run ins with her, and that woman gives as good as she gets. So you understand. No, I sympathize. She and Stefan used the both of us. And, um, in the end they left us in the dust.

They toyed with our emotions. It’s no wonder you wanted him dead. I’m sure I don’t know what you’re talking about. Don’t you? As I’ve stated repeatedly, I had nothing to do with the attempt on Stefan DiMera’s life. Oh, come on, Lee. Don’t kid a kidder. You’re not in the interrogation room with D. A. Trask.

You’re enjoying a nice dinner with a few drinks with your new friend, Melinda. I like you, Lee. And I think something is happening here.

I just need us to be honest with each other. And I promise it goes no further than this table.

What does? You were the one that brought Rolf back to Salem to brainwash Harris Michaels, weren’t you? You were behind the assassination attempt. You

don’t forgive him for sad guy poker? Do I even want to know what that is? No, you’ll figure it out. Alright, I’ll go first. Lost my job. Ah, I think I get it now. Your turn. I lost my girlfriend. Yeah, okay. I, um, oh, my ex wife is having a baby with a guy that I can’t stand. No offense. None taken. Okay, let me see, um, Ah, the girl I was nuts about.

Chose some nerdy doctor over me and my last ex left me for my sister Not even have a hot detective to fall back on so I Think I win, right? Did I just win? I think, yeah, I think you just like you left me right in the dust there, wow I do have a hot detective in my life. So Yeah, no complaints Wow. God. But you know what?

I’ll tell you something. We’re both catchers. Yeah. We are. Right? Yeah, we are. So, you Jada, she better lock this down. And I’m talking all the way down. Down, down. Oh, man. You know? And you know what? For you, I bet that there’s some lucky girl out there right now. She’s just swiping left. Swiping right. Swipe.

Swipe right. Right. Yeah. So she’s swiping right. I’ll take your word for that. Okay. Yeah. I’ve actually got to go meet Jada at the pub right now for a beer. You wanna come? Come on, man. I’ll buy you a beer. You sure you can afford it? Well, probably not actually. You know, you buy the beers. How about that, huh?

Okay, I’ll buy the beers. I’d love to grab a beer with you. I miss hanging out with you like this. Yeah, same. Alright, come on. Let’s do it. Yeah.

What is wrong with me? Here I am with you and worried about my brother’s date. That’s okay, I get it. Lee’s life has been off the rails for a little while and you’re worried about him. Yeah, more than I should be. I mean, he is a grown ass man, for one. And, I’ve been really ashamed of some of the things he’s done lately.

But… But he’s your family. And you love him. Yeah. I do. Okay, so he was fixed up with this date through a matchmaker, right? Mm hmm. Okay, so theoretically, he would have had her vetted and ran through an algorithm of some sort. She should be a pretty decent match for him, right? I hope so. Anyway, that is enough talk about my brother for one night.

He can take care of himself. Yes, he can. Which leaves me to take care of you, Dr. Johnson.

So what do you think? Should we take this to the bedroom?

I’m not judging. I’m really not. I just want us to be open with each other. You did it, didn’t you, Leigh? You sent Commander Harris Michaels after Stefan?

What are you doing? Wait, no, you can’t do that! Give that back! You’re recording me? What? No, I don’t know how that could have happened. It must have been left on from when I was at work. Or maybe when you went to the ladies room after we ordered. No, Lee, I And to think, I was actually having a nice time. What, what did you, pressure the matchmaker service to put us together?

No, Lee, you have this all wrong. And you, District Attorney Trask, are a terrible liar. Especially for someone who gets paid to lie their ass off. Enjoy your salmon. No, I

Mind your business.

Yes, it’s um, it’s a possibility that I’m pregnant. How long have you known? Why don’t we know now? I mean. Not for sure, it’s, I’m only a couple days late. Okay, I see. You know what, look, let’s wait a couple more days and then we just see what happens. We could do that, or we could… Or what? What? I could run down to the pharmacy and get a pregnancy test.

You know what, I’ll be right back, okay? Yeah, I’ll be right back.

Darling, the doctor I brought in has the utmost confidence you’ll be able to carry the baby to term. I know. I know what she said. It’s just, I’ve had so many issues. Okay, okay. So there’s, there’s no guarantees. Isn’t that all the more reason to cherish every moment along the way? I mean, learning the baby’s gender.

It can be a time for celebration. Oh, celebration? Only if it’s a boy, you mean. What? Yeah, what? I know how chauvinistic you Damaris are. Oh, you want a male descendant? Admit it! No! I will not! I will not admit it! First of all, I absolutely adore my daughter, Sydney, as you well know, and I already have a son, obviously.

And also, it’s the 21st century. I’m just as evolved as you are. I am a passionate proponent of gender equality. Yes, really. And forget about equality. Girls are now proving themselves to be superior. Outperforming boys in school, as we’ve all read. Not to mention that members of the female persuasion are just generally…

better people, in my view. They’re kinder, more caring. Wiser. Damn right.

So I would be absolutely thrilled, if our baby turned out to be a girl. So,

when

two cops are in the bed together, like, Do you guys wear uniforms? Okay, just stop. First of all, Rafe and I don’t even wear uniforms on the job. And second of all, my sex life is none of your business, Talia. Carl, look, my personal life is a train wreck right now. So excuse me if I vicariously live through you and your love life.

And just so you know, I’m not gonna stop until you spill. So. Okay. Fine. I’ll tell you. See? And you crack. Making love to Rafe Hernandez is mmm. The bomb. Okay, are you happy now? Way to go, buddy. Rafe,

hey. Hey. Can I talk to you for a sec? Uh, sure. I

am super mortified right now. Oh, no. Shh. Don’t be. You know, I only said that because Talia was being super nosy and annoying. And I just said that to shut her up. Oh. Okay. So you didn’t mean what you said. No, no, I did. I just… Okay, oh my god. I am usually a very private person. And, you know, like I said, Talia just wanted to live vicariously through me because she said that she’s with me right now.

It’s okay. I mean, who doesn’t love positive feedback? Yeah, yeah. So, how do you know Rafe? Uh, he is my ex stepdad. Yeah, he and my mom were married for a time. Oh. Small world. Yeah, totally. Especially in this town, I mean, uh, your sister’s dating my ex stepdad and you pretended to be interested in my ex wife.

I mean, getting a review like that, whether you were pressured into it or not… I mean, it almost makes losing my job worth it. Okay, you sound like my sister now. Well, it’s true. Well, it’s really sweet of you to say, but I’m really sorry what Rawlings did to you. Because you’re with me, your career could be over.

No, no, no, hey, I have no regrets. None, alright? I hope you don’t either. I don’t. Not one. Okay, good. Was there anything else you wanted to talk to me about? Yes, actually. I need your help.

Lee! You’re home! Sorry, uh, I should have texted. I can go. No, no, it’s fine. It’s totally fine. You live here too. Yeah, how was, uh, how was your date? Uh, so Jingwen told you about my being fixed up by a matchmaker? What was I not supposed to? No, it’s okay. What’s one more person known about my romantic failures?

Damn, I guess it didn’t go well, huh? It was a complete disaster, my boy. Another glass of wine, ma’am? I think I’ll be moving on to something a little stronger. Whiskey, need? Of course. And will your companion be wanting another beverage? I’m afraid he won’t be coming back tonight. Or ever.

Well I am glad to hear you say that. But what is most important is that we have a healthy baby. Yes, yes, that is most important by far. And also, what is very, very important, is that our baby is going to be so lucky to have you as their mother. Mm. Wanted to have you as their daddy. Oh. Daddy.

Got it right before they closed. Eric, this is crazy. Why? Well, because I’m probably not pregnant. Yeah, but you said you were late. Yeah, but I’m late by a couple days. I mean, this isn’t unusual for me. There’s only one way to find out.

Okay. Here goes nothing.

Okay, so I see that you want to do this, so let’s just do this and get this over with. I’m sure you hate my guts after everything I did to Chanel. I don’t know you well enough to hate you. But what I do know is that you hurt someone that I care about very much. And I’m not okay with that. And I don’t expect you to be.

Look, for what it’s worth… I feel awful about helping Colin get to Chanel and her family. And I’ll do whatever it takes to make it up to them. You mean that? You probably don’t believe this, but you’re not the only one that cares about Chanel. The last thing I want to do is to ever hurt her again. Well, that’s good.

Because if you

do, then you’ll have me to deal with.

So you have no idea where Lonnie is? No. She’s just gone off the radar. Damn, and if she doesn’t show up soon, it could look like she’s gone on the lam. Yeah, exactly. That’s why I have to find her in time. You can’t get the 712D involved. No. No, no, no, no, no. This is on me. I told Eli when he got called away that I would look after Lonnie.

I’ve already let Abe and his family down once. That’s not true, Rafe. Listen, I cannot be the reason that Lonnie gets more time tacked on to her sense. Listen, I know that this is a big ask. And I’ll bet that acting Mayor Rawlings is already gunning for you because of me. I need a good detective to help me find Lyne

before it’s

Lost love, Chardonnay? That’s what you ordered? Do you know it? Well, yeah, I know it. Pour me a glass and I’ll tell you the story.

Damn it, Melinda. You really screwed this one up, didn’t you?

I’m sorry to hear it didn’t go well. You want to talk about it?

Not really. Maybe tomorrow.

Wow. Sounds like it went ethically wrong. Yeah.

I feel so bad for him.

But we shouldn’t let that ruin our night. Right. Except, Wendy, I want our first time together today. Be special. No talk of ex boyfriends, no broken hearted brothers, no distractions. You’re right. Our first time. It should only be about us. Yeah.

Yes. Have I told you lately how grateful I am to be having a child with you? Well, I always love hearing it. Being this baby’s father, it means the world to me, Nicole. And I know you’re protecting yourself right now, and for good reason. But I hope soon you’ll be able to allow yourself to feel like this baby is a reality.

We are going to be parents together. This is happening.

Is it possible that, like, time could completely stop? Shh. Talking just makes it work slower. So not true. Yes, it is. Eric, look. Look, look, right there. It’s, it’s two lines. Right? Does that mean what I think it means? Yes. Yeah, that does. Oh, my God, Eric. We’re having a baby. We’re having a baby. We’re having a baby.

We’re having a baby!

No! We’re having a

baby. Hey, sweetness. Greetings from La La Land. You’re in Los Angeles? Well, did you find Jerry Prentiss? No, not yet. After John and I missed him at the, uh, bus terminal in Salem. We hopped on a plane, took a gamble that he might be headed here to resume his acting career. Well, that sounds like a good bet.

Yeah, we’ll see. Bus from Chicago should arrive any minute. Well, hopefully he’ll be on it and you’ll be able to ask him what he’s hiding about Abe. That’s the plan. Okay, keep me posted. Oh, and Steve.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Damn it, that was close. Not to mention nerve wracking. And that’s because I got so flustered and blabby. Justin, how many times can I run into Xander before I end up telling him the truth? And boy, did I try to avoid him this time. When I saw him coming across that square, I turned around so fast… That you nearly knocked over that woman with the stroller.

Yes! It was like fate conspired for me to practically run over that baby so I would be forced to tell Xander that Sarah was pregnant with his baby. But you managed not to. Just barely. He’s gotta know something’s up, man. The way I just rattled on about having hot wings for dinner. In the really hot weather.

I know. I was there. Well, at least I said something. You just stood there, quiet as a graveyard. Because I have learned that the best way to keep a secret… is to keep your mouth closed. What secret?

Well, thanks for the update, Bell. Okay, talk soon. Oh, hey, couldn’t hear you come in. Hey there. Hmm.

Hmm. Oh, what a lovely greeting. Hmm, and you’re nice and warm. What did you run home or something? I just walked through the park, actually. Ran into our old friend, Bonnie Lockhart. Oh, was she acting weird again? Very. Banging on about whatever came into her head. Hot wings in hot weather, stuff like that.

She’s so strange. She and Justin seem really uncomfortable around you lately. I don’t get it. It makes two of us. What’s in the package? Ah. This is your anniversary present. What anniversary? Open your present and you’ll find out.

So, I know it’s not our anniversary until next week. What? Got you an early gift. I don’t, I don’t see a gift anywhere. Oh, it’s not a thing. It’s, it’s, it’s something I did. What kind of gift is that? Well, EJ and I, we finally took your advice. We broke her to truce. Oh, that is a great gift. And there’s more. We were gonna kick Demetri out of the house, but Kristen stopped us.

What’s good about that? Because for once, she was right. Best to keep Dimitri here, where we can keep our eyes on him. Guess you’re right. Friends close, enemies closer. Speaking about that, um, I just came from getting up close and personal to one of our enemies.

Yeah, I just sat down. How well do you know what she looks like? Okay. I’ll be on the lookout for a woman with long dark hair wearing a blue dress. Thanks again.

You gotta be kidding me. What the hell are you doing here? Don’t you have a bail hearing or something? You, you don’t understand. Could you please just go to another bar? I’m meeting someone and I don’t want him to find me here with a guy who’s on Salem’s most wanted list. This someone is a, uh, date, right?

How do you know that? Because I have the misfortune of being that poor bastard.

The kid’s finally settled? Yeah, Charlotte is. Thomas made me let him, uh, let him read for a half hour. He’s, um… I’m so pumped about his room. You did such a good job on it. Well, I want him and Charlotte to be happy here. They are. So am I. Thank you for the beautiful flowers. Yeah. Well, we’ve been so busy with the move, we haven’t had a whole lot of time for romance.

I had the same thought. Another delivery? The good kind. Dinner for two from Foo’s walk in. Yeah. You want to pour some wine while I get the door? Yes.

Howdy neighbors, so is this what it’s going to be like living across the hall from you? Ever heard of a shirt?

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

Now is that any way to talk to your new neighbor? Come on in. Hey, do you guys have hot water? Yep. Not me. I’ve been running that thing for like 15 minutes. Well, then go back to your own apartment and call the super. I did. You can’t get a plumber here until tomorrow morning. Thanks for the update. We were just about to have dinner.

Oh, okay. I’ll, uh, get out of your way then. Right on my mind. Hey, do you think maybe, if it’s, uh, cool with you kids, if I grab a quick shower? Hmm.

Did you get me a pizza? It’s not a pizza, Chloe. Oh, darn. I was hoping it was. I’m starving. I’ll get you a pizza. Just open this box. Okay.

There we go. This is a

dartboard. And, and, a new set of darts. Wow. Well, we already have a dartboard o. It’s not there anymore. What happened? Yeah, that one was for amateurs. It was starting off my game. Yeah, blame it on the dartboard. This is a huge upgrade. That one was just bringing me bad luck. This is pub quality. Sounds to me like someone is eager for a rematch.

I’m chomping at the bit. And since you’re wondering what anniversary this celebrates, you believe it’s been exactly three months since you buried a dart worryingly close. To my heart. I’m really sorry about that. I’m not. It was like Cupid’s arrow. I fancied you from that moment on.

Um. Oh, well. Hiya, Justin Teller. I was just speaking. Hypothetically. Yeah, we were just talking about how hot the weather’s been lately. And what we had for dinner. Stuff like that. Oh, and that led you to give Bonnie advice on the art of keeping a secret? Oh, you know, Justin, he’s, uh, he’s always helping me with my big mouth.

And I do so appreciate it, honey, because you know this thing’s got me in some pretty big jams. Mm hmm. I think the two of you are keeping something from me. And I have a good idea what it is.

It’s a family matter, isn’t it? Oh, my God, who told you? He told me himself. You talked to Rex? What does Rex have to do with this? Nothing. No, not a thing. Um, it’s just that he’s in Chicago with Sarah. Uh, they’re in Chicago. Well, of course you know that because, uh, your daughter lives in Chicago and how could you not know where your daughter lives?

Or what’s going on in her life? So I guess the thing that you’re keeping from me has something to do with Sarah.

What? No! Why would we know a secret about Sarah? That’s what I’m trying to find out. Well, it’s not about Sarah, okay? Right, Justin? Justin, you have said one sentence to me since I walked in. I get the feeling you are giving me the silent treatment. Why would I do that? I don’t know. Look, before, uh, when I said I’d talk to someone, I meant Alex.

Oh, so now I’m thinking that… The secret that you don’t want me to know is about Alex and you’re trying to cover for Justin. Am I right? Huh? What? What? What do you mean? What? Huh? Justin, you have to be furious at me, aren’t you? I mean, you know that I’m the reason that your son moved out of the family home.

Look, Alex. Alex, we don’t want you to take a shower here. We want you to go back to your own place and take a cold shower. It’ll probably do you some good. Yeah, that’s the thing, man. The cold shower just won’t cut it. I just came back from a workout, and I smell like a goat. I don’t care. Go home. Listen, Brady and I have a meeting tomorrow morning with a very important client at 8 a.

m. God only knows when this plumber’s gonna show up, and I really can’t afford to screw up another job.

I want you out of here in five minutes. I will be quick, I promise you. And don’t turn the bathroom into a pigsty. Oh, you guys are the best. Hey, thank you so much, babe. Nice shirt.

Okay, I’m sorry. I just, I didn’t want him to screw up his meeting. Right, so he gets to ruin our meeting instead?

I know exactly where to put this. Okay, you know what? I think I should hang that because, as I recall, you’re pretty lousy at hanging things. That’s only because I didn’t have the drywall, but I’ve got them now, so I’m going to be brilliant at it. You’ll see. Okay. Yeah, so you order the pizza and I’ll take care of this.

Okay, fine. The usual? Meat with more meat and extra meat on thin crust? That’s my girl. And while we’re waiting for it to arrive, it’s game on. Although this time, when it’s your turn. I’ll remember to duck.

Gabby, I cannot believe you went to talk to Lee on your own. We have talked about this. I know but he was that we were letting him get away with it. We weren’t doing anything about it. Because we have proof of how dangerous he is, Gabby. Lee and Megan want me dead, you know that. That’s exactly why I did what I did.

And what was that? I just, I sort of gave him a taste of his own medicine. I hate to even ask what that means. We talked. Okay, we were talking, and then I could tell I wasn’t getting to him, so… I did something to make my point. What something? Stephen, I pulled a gun on him.

This cannot be happening. We, we did not hire the same matchmaker. A lady named Cheryl Angel? Promised you a match made in heaven, right? Yeah, instead I got the blind date from hell. Okay, just so you know, the feelings of repulsion are mutual. If I I was meeting you, I would have had the florist put extra thorns on that rose.

I am the district attorney. I cannot be seen having drinks with the man who is going to prison. You’re leaving? Yeah. Cheryl Angel knew exactly what she was doing. Either she’s going to give me my money back, or I’m going to bring her up on charges. She doesn’t know about me. What, you think she reads the police blotter?

Give her a break. She’s just trying to make a living. Then she’s an incompetent. How could anyone think that we would be a match? We have absolutely nothing in common. I wouldn’t go that far. Name one thing. In the train wreck known as the affair between my ex wife and Stefan DiMera, you and I are both collateral damage.

I hate to say this, but you have a point. Then, why don’t you sit down. Back when I was hopeful about tonight, I ordered a very nice bottle of wine. We can drink to the happy couple. Wish them all the misery they so richly deserve.

Fine. But for the record, we are not in the same boat, okay? True, I had a thing for Stefan at some point, but you, on the other hand, have a psychopathic obsession with Gabby Hernandez. I loved her. I still do. But I’m not a nutjob. Mm hmm, because only a sane man would brainwash Harris Michaels into killing his ex wife’s lover.

Okay, this is a charge you cannot prove. Give me time. Back to the main topic of you and Stefan. Uh, we were never on that topic. You wanted him. Way more than you let on. Oh, really? And you know this how? Why else would you get in bed with him and moan and groan so I’d think he was screwing you instead of my wife?

You can’t deny what you did. I walked in on you. Oh, for God’s sake. That was all staged. For your benefit. Well, whoever’s benefit it was for, it was an idiotic idea. You were an intelligent, beautiful woman. And you let Stefan DiMera use you. Be honest, that has to hurt.

I cannot believe you did such a stupid thing. What if Lee had gotten the gun away from you? What if he had used it on you? He doesn’t have the cojones to do something like that. Just tell me the gun wasn’t loaded. Stefan, what good’s a gun with no bullets in it? I can’t believe this. You… I wasn’t going to shoot him.

I just wanted to scare him. I wanted him to know that if he ever came after you again, I will get him, and I will. I am not going to lose you again. I can’t. What if I don’t want to lose you, Gabby? You thought about that? What if you’re wrong about Lee? What if he had gotten the gun away from you? My brother is a cop.

I know how to handle a gun. You are so far off the deep end right now. You are so hell bent on stopping Lee and Megan from killing me that you keep putting yourself in danger. It has to stop.

It’s been a lot longer than five minutes. I know. I’m really sorry. You don’t have to keep saying it. I should have put this in the oven. It’s getting cold. No, what we should do is just go ahead and eat. But when he comes out, I’m kicking him out. I need you to back me up this time. I will. I promise. We’re still gonna have our evening.

Right.

Spring rolls? Yes. Hmm. We’re having a romantic evening. Mm hmm. Mm hmm. Hey there, lovebirds. Thanks for the shower.

That’s my robe. I know, you got a little something on ya, pal. Uh, but you told me not to come out in a towel anymore, so… I didn’t tell you to take my robe. I couldn’t fit it all in a Stephanie’s, that’d be much worse than a towel. But, if you insist, I mean… No! You drop that robe, you’re dead.

Well, if I do say so myself… It’s very well hung. Said the chorus girl to the Archbishop. Yeah. There’s a reason I like you. You’ve got a filthy mind and a terrible aim . You know, let’s hope that that board stays up there, because I would hate for it to fall the moment I hit my first bullseye. If a massive earthquake, what a hit, Salan, and that wall started to crumble, our dartboard would stop it from falling.

You think? I know. That’s a bearing wall. It might save the whole building, thanks to my expert installation. I think you really believe that. Why? You love my big ego? I certainly like taking advantage of it, that’s for sure. Oh, so you’re feeling pretty sure of yourself, huh? You want to make this interesting?

Yeah, I do. If I beat you, you have to give me a shoulder massage. Hmm. Well, if I win, you have to give me… A foot massage. No, no, no, no, buddy. That’s a lot to ask. We are three months in. I do not touch feet. Oh, so not so confident after all, huh? Oh, no, I am, and the thought of touching your feet is motivation enough, so.

Step aside, please.

I am not giving you the silent treatment. You have to be disappointed that Alex moved out. I am. I liked having him here, especially after Sonny moved out. But, I’m not angry with you. You and Alex are now working for competing companies, so it only makes sense that you live in different places. He’s working for DiMera because I fired him.

And then you generously hired him back, and then he turned your offer down. Alex is a grown man. He makes his own decisions. In fact, I just learned that he found a new apartment and a building with all sorts of amenities. Oh, good. Good, good, good. I’m glad. Listen, I don’t resent Alex’s decision to stay on at DiMera.

I mean, as you know, I hired Chad in his place, and I’m very happy. A good choice. Fantastic. So, can we consider the air cleared? Yes, we can. Whew! But, um, I’m still wondering, uh, why you brought up Rex’s name and Sarah’s. Oh, um, well, I meant to say Alex when I said Rex’s name. I just got confused because, you know, both of their names have X’s in them.

And then I brought up Sarah because you thought I brought up Rex. They live in Chicago. Yeah, but you weren’t talking about Alex. When I walked in, you were talking about keeping a secret. For Pete’s sake, I can’t take this anymore. Bonnie. No, no, I gotta do something. I can’t. I can’t just keep this between you and me, alright?

And who better to tell than Maggie? Well, then what is it? Tell me what it is. You wanna know if this is about Sarah, right? Yes. Well, it is. Sarah, your daughter, is keeping a big secret from you. And I’m the poor schmazo who happened to find out what it is.

Bonnie, do you really want to do this? What isn’t Sarah telling me? Maggie’s not just Sarah’s mom, she’s a really good mom. And if Sarah were my daughter, I’d want to know about this. About what? Sarah is, Sarah’s, Sarah’s,

Sarah’s seeing Rex again. She is? Yes. How do you know? When I went to visit my little grandbaby, it was Rex’s week with her, and then Sarah was in the apartment, Rex’s apartment, when I walked in. But that’s, I mean, they’re together. Together. Bonnie, a woman knows these things, alright? Sarah’s expec was not expecting to see me and her with Rex.

And that’s when Sarah made Bonnie promise to not tell anybody, including you. So Sarah’s with Rex and she doesn’t want me to know. I wonder why. Probably because she knows you have a soft spot for Xander. Xander and Sarah are divorced. What does he have to do with this?

Oh, you might as well throw in the towel, love. You’ve only got one dart left. I can still win if I hit Cork. Well, you’re throwing that dart. It’s more likely to end up landing in County Cork. Ha. Stand back. Don’t have to tell me twice. Oh, God, I’m really gonna enjoy watching you rub my feet. Quiet. I am concentrating.

I get it. Look, I, I get why you’re upset, Stefan, but I had to face Lee. Don’t, don’t you see? I had to look at him in the eye and make sure he understood that there’s no chance I will ever get back together with him. Lee has never… You’re going to believe that, Gabby. No matter what you say or do, the guy’s obsessed.

Not anymore. No, no, really. The only person he listens to is his sister, and Wendy convinced him to move on. He even hired a matchmaker. Huh. You’re kidding. No, no, really. I saw the profile that he wrote for himself on his laptop. Look, I didn’t really believe it, but he swore that he has a date tonight, so maybe he will meet the woman of his dreams and finally we can get on with our lives.

I don’t need to explain myself to you, Mr. Shin. And I’ve wasted enough of my night, so don’t be offended if I end our date permanently. You’d be doing me a favor. Why would I want a woman who wasn’t good enough for Stefan DiMera? I would not insult me if I were you. I can still up the charges against you to conspiracy to commit murder.

And for being an ass in the first degree.

Lost Love Chardonnay? That’s what you ordered? Do you know it? Well, yeah, I know it. Pour me a glass and I’ll tell you the story.

You happy now? Do you see me smiling? Wow, I really don’t get what the big deal is. Yes, I took your robe. You took my job at Titan. Alex, that’s not fair. Hey, I’ll give the robe back tomorrow, I promise you. I will even wash it. As long as you’re okay with the cold water because that’s all I got. I’ll make you a deal.

Keep the robe. Looks great on you. Oh, thank you, Chad. That’s right neighborly of you. Silly part of the deal. You move out of the building.

Why would I move out of this great building? I’ve got the gym, I’ve got the pool. Don’t even get me started on the location. Yeah, and that’s your favorite part, isn’t it? You took the apartment because you could be right across the hall from Stephanie and me. Actually, I was talking about my five minute drive to my office.

Dude, I know you’re still hung up on Stephanie. Dude, I’m in the room. Stephanie, please, tell this guy that we are just friends now. It’s true.

Buddy, I moved out because I couldn’t live with Maggie anymore. And yes, coincidentally, I landed a place across the hall. And I know that we don’t like each other that much, but maybe… We can learn to be good neighbors. Good Neighbors? Good Neighbors, you’re showing up half naked when my daughter’s in the other room.

Whoa, uh, I’m sorry, I didn’t even think of that. You don’t think? Chad, a word? You and I have everything we want. We can afford to be a little bit understanding. Oh, come on. No, you come on. Please, why don’t you let this go so we can get back to our night together?

You alright?

Alex, welcome to the building. Thanks, man. Who’s walking in? Oh my god, that is my favorite place. Are you kidding me? The spring rolls. Have you tried these yet? Oh

my god. Do you think maybe you guys could let me stay for dinner? Neighbors.

I can’t believe it. Ha ha ha, believe it. I’m ready for that shoulder massage. Uh huh. Ooh.

Ooh. Oh yeah, that feels good. Maybe I don’t mind losing so much after all. Oh my god, did I ever tell you

that you that you have the greatest hands?

Um,

Um, Um, Um, Um, Wanna play beat the beat,

son? Xander is with Chloe now. He and Sarah split up months ago. From what I can see, about six months. Sorry? What Bonnie is trying to say is that it hasn’t been that long since Sarah and Xander split up. And since we know that you were very supportive of their relationship, it must be very difficult to see them with other people.

True. True. And Sarah has history with Rex. And he’s made it very plain that he wants her back. He’s just not my choice for my daughter. He cheated on her and hurt her very badly. Maybe that’s why she feels she can’t tell me. Because she’s forgiven him, but I don’t know if I can. Oh, honey, it hurts when they keep me on the outside.

I mean, Mimi didn’t tell me that she was pregnant with Rex’s baby until she was like five or six. But kids grow up. They make their own decisions. Yeah, yeah. Well, I’ll call Sarah after dinner. Maybe she’ll open up to me.

Thank you, Bonnie, for telling me. I, I wish Sarah had.

That worked out okay. I need a drink.

The summer after law school. I had a few weeks off before I started my job. In the spur of the moment, I decided to take a bike trip through Napa. Stop at a lot of vineyards. Mind you, I didn’t know a thing about wine. But you know, when I’m ignorant about something, I, it drives me crazy, so I just dive in and I try to become an expert.

Also served you well in law school. Graduated first in my class. Editor of the Law Review. But I’d never done a trip like that before. And I just felt… so free. Anyway, um… The last winery I stopped at was Lost Love Vineyards. And they had just released this vintage. I took one sip and I thought it was the most, oh, exquisite wine I had ever tried.

And I was keeping a journal. I’d peel the labels off each bottle I tried and I pasted it in my journal next to my notes. But that day I, I was so lost in the wine and that free feeling. I forgot to take the label. I tried to remember the name later, and it just wouldn’t come to me. So I, I put the trip and the wine out of my mind and I became a workaholic again.

Until tonight. I saw that bottle and it all came back to me.

You felt that free feeling again? Yeah. I did.

Wow. You know, I feel sorry for the poor woman who gets paired up with Lee. That guy should come with a warning label tattooed across his forehead. I could care less about that chick. I just hope Lee falls head over heels in love with her and just, we can stop worrying about him. Yeah, maybe. I don’t want to talk about him anymore.

Our anniversary is next week, and we’re finally getting married. It’s going to be one of the happiest days of my life.

Except I have to tell you something.

What? I don’t know if that’s going to work for me.

What’s not going to work for you? Are you saying you don’t want to marry me? I’m saying, what if I decide to get reckless like you did, and I go meet Megan in a back alley somewhere with a gun? Or what if I show up to Rolf’s secret lab with a crossbow and I attack him for brainwashing me? Or better yet, what if I show up to one of these blind dates with a matchbook and a gallon of gasoline?

Okay, you’ve made your point. Have I? Yes, I get it. And as one of my pre wedding vows to you, I promise I won’t ever, ever go after any of our enemies again. I don’t believe you. What? Gabby, you’re always going to want to bring the fight to anyone who hurts us. All that I’m asking is that next time, take me with you.

Okay? You seem to think you’re invincible. But you’re not. And I don’t want to lose you any more than you want to lose me. I know. I promise.

Thank you. Now I just have to find the journal. You don’t have it? You lost it.

Well then you’ll just have to start another one.

Just try smiling more often.

At least I learned that we actually do have something in common. We both love this wine.

Why don’t you stay for dinner? Finish the bottle with me. Oh, what the hell.

You guys got any more of this wine? Uh, no more wine. And it’s time for you to go. Take some mooshu pork. Oh, thank you. That’s breakfast tomorrow. Great. Good luck with your meeting tomorrow. Ah. Okay. Well, um, thank you guys for everything. Why?

Uh, sorry about your robe. Eh, who needs robe when I get to live with you.

What are you thinking about? I’m thinking that if someone would have told me three months ago that I would be on this couch making love with you, I would have said that they’re nuts. Life is certainly full of surprises, isn’t it? Yeah, it is. Except when it comes to darts and Chloe versus Xander, because clearly I always win.

Wait, so I don’t even get a chance to save my dignity? Okay. Set him up again.

Wow. That was not my fault. Right. No, I’m serious. When we were making love before, I definitely felt the earth move. Oh yeah? An earthquake? Yeah, must have been. Now we can’t play darts. How are we going to fill the time until the pizza gets here? I’m sure you can think of some ways.

Okay, so when your mom calls, you’ll have an explanation? Okay, honey. Thanks. You’re a doll. Bye.

So, Sarah’s not upset? Well, she’s gonna back me up about her and Rex. But she still doesn’t want Xander or anyone else to know she’s pregnant with his baby. She’s still determined to keep the secret? Oh, for sure. I still say secrets have a way of coming out. Especially when that secret’s a baby.

Days of Our Lives Transcript

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

One for you, and one pour moi.

Poison free, I trust? Oh, I believe you, and I’ve moved past all that. Have we? Because I’m still a little confused as to why you invited me out for drinks. Well, I thought we should discuss the fact that our sister Megan has vanished after trying to have you killed. You disappointed she didn’t succeed? No, in fact, I was the one who tried to stop her.

Believe me, I hate that it’s come to this. But I don’t have any other options. Yes, of course, I’ll send the money right away. You just better come through for

me. Gabby. On coincidence, I was just thinking about you. Asking

for his shared custody of my daughter. Julie, that’s not an unreasonable request. Are you serious? You kidnapped Rachel. So maybe if you, I don’t know, give her back, my brother would be willing to negotiate. You know what, Belle? Breaking news. Brady took Rachel just before you arrived. And he was not willing to negotiate.

So you did take Rachel. No, I did not say that. Then what are you saying? That she just showed up? Yes! Yes, that is exactly what I’m saying, and thank God she did because Brady was about to shoot me.

Baby, you, you called the police? Um, when? We got the report about 20 minutes ago. It was when you started to get gas! Baby, why would you do that? Well, why? Because you

tried to kill my Well, between Rachel Black’s disappearance, the police commissioner being sacked, and Mayor Carver’s funeral, I would say that we have a pretty solid issue here, so well done everybody. I’ll see you all bright and early in the office tomorrow morning. Okay.

Surprised I haven’t heard from my darling fiancé today. Wonder what he’s up

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

Hello, love. Um, Look, ring me when

you get a chance. I’ve just finished work and I was, well, I was hoping that perhaps we could meet up tonight. I mean, if we are to be married by the end of the month, I think we should probably get a start on, um, getting things sorted. Yes?

You know, my darling. The more this sinks in, the more excited I get. I cannot wait to be your wife.

Well,

that was quite the workout. Yeah. Who needs a gym membership, right? I think I might just cancel mine. What was that last move you did? Oh, I call that the Ariana Grande. A little bit of sass really gets the crowd going. Aren’t you my little pop culture aficionado? And I find it works especially well on emotionally unavailable men.

Well, I’d have to agree with you on that. So, need time for another round? I could show you my Dua Lipa. An intriguing offer, but I think I’m gonna need time out.

Missed call from Gwen.

I hate deceiving her like this. And normally I don’t mind being sneaky and duplicitous. Because, truthfully, most people deserve it. But Gwenny, she’s my ride or die. My confidant, my most loyal friend in the entire world. It’s all very touching, Leo. But what about what you deserve? What makes you happy? You know, what you want.

You’re enjoying this, aren’t you? Oh, God, yes. That’s the problem. I am betraying my best friend over a magic disease. Why do you keep calling it that? Oh, it’s just an inside joke between Gwen and me. Which has now lost its inside joke status and become a dirty little secret. Since she has no idea that we are hooking up behind her back.

Leo, we need to find a way to get you over this guilt. Oh. How am I supposed to do that? How would I not be a heartless bastard if I didn’t hate myself for this? So now I’m a heartless bastard? Because I’m not torturing myself over the guilt? Because I’m not beating myself up over this? No! Well, I mean, sort of.

Look, look, isn’t there some other woman you can bamboozle? Someone who isn’t so kind and sweet and knows exactly which episode of Frasier to put on when I’m in low spirits. You know I’d love to, but it’s too late. The wheels are in motion. If I want to see any part of this inheritance, I need to be married by the time I turn 40, which we both know is at the end of the month.

There’s just not enough time to find someone else. You say that, but, but, but, but, but, but, I used to work at a bowling alley with a woman named Amy. Spelled A I M E and I think another E. I sincerely like Gwen. I care about her. I really do. And I’m not so heartless that I don’t feel bad about deceiving her.

Just right now. I’m stuck.

At least, now I’m stuck with you.

You tried to stop Megan from killing me. Why do you think she locked me up in the tunnels? Figured you were her next victim. No, no, you see, I overheard her on the phone plotting her brother’s demise. At first I thought she was referring to me, but in a moment of desperation she confessed that it was you.

Who is the intended target? In here, I thought she liked me. She tried to rope me in on her plan, her usual Machiavellian craziness, but when I refused, she knocked me out. Wow. Guess I’m a little baffled. Baffled why? Because had you gone along with Megan’s Machiavellian craziness, you’d be free of me. Who you obviously loathe and detest, and you’d be running DiMera all on your own.

All you had to do was keep your mouth shut. Why didn’t you?

You were thinking about me. How was that? Well, I heard about your terrible ordeal. How Rolf attacked you and handcuffed you to Megan’s hospital bed. Can’t imagine how frightening that must have been. Scary as hell, all right. And I swear to you on everything that’s holy, if I ever get my hands on that slime bucket, I will rip that stupid ponytail off of his head and strangle him with it.

And he would certainly deserve that. But what were you doing visiting Megan alone? Well, you insisted that Megan hired Harris to kill Stefan, so I wanted to confront the Puppet Master face to face. I see. You shouldn’t have gone there alone. That’s what Stefan said. But, you know, I promised him that from now on, we will be doing everything together as a team.

No more going rogue. However, today, I’m making an exception.

About to shoot you? Give me a break, Kristen. Brady would never shoot anyone. Oh, but you are so wrong. He actually announced it. He pointed a gun at me, and he proudly proclaimed that he was going to murder me. You’re lying. Brady doesn’t even own a gun. It was a loaner from John. Well, I still think you’re lying.

Because if Brady would have threatened you with a gun, you’d be at the police station right now. What’s that old mob saying? Singing like a canary? But instead, you’re sitting here bragging. Begging for my help. Oh my god, please, please. Do you think the police are going to believe me? No, I mean it’s his word against mine.

And whether you believe me or not, I am telling the God’s honest truth. Brady tried to murder me in cold blood. He has gone completely over the edge. Well, if that’s true. That’s because you pushed him. Oh my God. Even if that were true, does that justify that he tried to kill the mother of his child? Oh my God, Kristen.

You have lied to all of us so much, and made So many people miserable, not to mention that you have been about to kill numerous people, numerous times, and damn near succeeded. So it shouldn’t come as a surprise to you that I feel zero sympathy for you. And I have zero faith that everything you’re telling me right now isn’t some sinister attempt to screw someone over.

In this case, my Brother who I love and trust and wish I’d never gotten involved with the likes of you. So sorry, Kristen. No, I will not help you. You’re on your own.

Detective Hunter, look, this is a complete misunderstanding.

But I saw you! were I must ask you again. Is what Rachel is saying true? Did you pull a gun on Kristen DeMera and threaten her life with it? This is what’s true. Yes, I went over to Kristen’s house. And we did have a, we had an argument. Alright, I mean, she kidnapped my daughter. No, she didn’t! Yep, Rachel, honey, please don’t lie about this.

I’m not lying!

Look, I may have, I may have said something in the heat of the moment. Like, I ought to kill you, but I didn’t mean it. And I had no gun. I don’t own a gun. He put it in

that drawer when we got home.

It’s locked. Do you have a key?

Code, please? Yeah.

Mr. Black, can you find a sitter for your daughter? I think it’s best if we finish our conversation down at the station. No, come on. You’re not serious about this, are you? I am dead serious. When you pull a gun on someone, there are questions that need to be answered.

Gabby, what are you doing? Where’d you get the gun? Oh, I could get my hands on a gun whenever I need one. And I definitely needed one. See, I just, it’s insane to me that Trask would let you walk free after you tried to kill Stefan. I told you, it was Megan DeMera who wanted Stefan dead. I thought you’d believe me.

I do. But I also believe that you were her partner in crime. You’re wrong. I had nothing to do with it. That’s where Trasluc and me go. There’s no evidence. I don’t give a damn about the evidence! I know you’re involved! And if you think I’m just gonna sit around waiting for you to, to attack Stefan again, you are sadly mistaken!

While it’s true that you and I have had our differences, and that I’d prefer to have you out of my way, Tamira, but that’s a far cry from condoning your murder. After all, we’re family. You’re my brother and I will always feel a deep connection to you. I wonder if anybody’s got a tissue box. Mark me all you want, but if there is one thing father impressed upon me strongly, is that family loyalty is extremely important.

Well, he never impressed that upon me because I never got to meet the mighty Stefano DiMera. I think you two would have gotten on quite well. Actually, you remind me a lot of him. In fact, I would go as far as to say that you’re more like him than I am. Oh, thanks. I think.

You know, a while ago you and Gabby proposed we call a truce. I was too stubborn at the time to see it, but you were right. I think it’s time we started working together as a united front. And why? Megan’s gone. She’s probably off somewhere, setting up a mosquito net. Well, for now. But I suspect she’s already plotting return.

And in the meantime… She’s left a fox in the hen house.

If you happen to come across my chapstick, do be sure to keep it at room temperature. Oh, I will be sure to. I’ll call you later and, um, remember to keep your mouth shut. That’s not what you were saying earlier. Mr. Stark, you are incorrigible.

Auntie Kristen, how’s your day going so far? Well, definitely not as good as yours. What’s that supposed to mean? It means… Who were you sneaking out of the house just now? Was it your girlfriend? Her boyfriend.

And that’s when I ripped up the custody agreement. I was pissed that she was going to use my daughter as leverage. So you tell me. But then you decided to take matters into your own hands. Not another word. I told you not to talk to the police until I got here. Well, I know, but I didn’t figure there was any point in waiting because my daughter already told Detective Hunter everything that went down, okay?

Besides, I’m not gonna lie. I’m not gonna lie about this or anything else because earlier today, I accused my own daughter of being a liar and I pretty much hated myself for that. So, I’m just, I’m, I’m gonna be honest. Completely honest here. It’s what’s best for everyone, okay? Besides, the truth always has a way of coming out.

My, my, my boyfriend. I assure you, I

have no idea what you’re in my ear. She said that yesterday, uh, she saw you and Leo Stark in bed together. Now, she thought it was a sleepover, but us grown ups know better. Yes, yes, I, that, I, I can explain. No, no need, no need. I figured it all out on my own. Figured what out? I happened to catch Stark with his hands in the cookie jar.

Yeah, he was snooping around here trying to figure out why you’re about to marry his best friend. I summarily threw him out, but somehow he must have doubled back. I’m guessing he found the codicil about your inheritance, and before he could blow the whistle… Well, you let him, you know,

blow the whistle. Colorful way of putting it.

But correct. Yes, I had no choice. I had to keep the chatterbox quiet, and so I took one for the team. Oh, manner of speaking. I’ll be the first to admit it. It’s all rather demeaning, having to resort to such lengths. So, I… Trust. You will keep this between just the two of us. Of course. I have a vested interest in you receiving that inheritance of yours.

You do? Mm hmm. How else am I gonna get my cut of the von Leuschner?

Merchant. Marty, I was wondering where you were. You missed the spectator meeting. Oh, the meeting, that’s right. Totally slipped my mind. Obviously, since you’ve been M. I. A. all day.

Care to share what you’ve been up to? Well, I, um, I have been working on my fabulous new column about… Get this, do you know that there’s an app just for cuddling? Creepy, right? Although you would be surprised how many people are starved for intimacy. All this is just to say that I have been doing some gonzo journalism, a la Hunter S.

Thompson. Hey, with a better skincare routine. Right, okay, yeah, um, what I understood from all that rambling that you just did now is that you’re writing a column on cuddling. Why, you don’t believe me? Well, it’s, um, I don’t know, it’s not very lady whistleblower like, is it? In fact, it sounds like a total snooze.

And also, you barely said a word to me last night, and then you were gone before I woke up, and you and I both know that that never happens, which is why… I get the feeling that you’re avoiding me. What? Gwen, you’re my best friend. Why would I be avoiding you? Because of Dimitri. Dimitri, what about him? Ever since I said yes to his proposal, you’ve been…

distant. And I know you’re not a fan of him, but… Gwenny, I told you, I’ve been working my little tooth shop, burning the midnight oil. I’m not avoiding you.

Okay, I… I know, I just, oh, I suppose I’m just being a bit paranoid is all. It’s just I haven’t heard from Dimitri today, which is a bit odd, don’t you think? Given that we, we just got engaged.

I

think

I made a

Gwenny, I have a confession to make.

The reason you haven’t heard from Dimitri is because… He’s been with me.

So you don’t trust Dimitri? Why would I? And why would you? We both know he and his mother are thick as thieves. It wouldn’t surprise me if he’s agreed to carry out her nefarious plan, spying with that bitch from afar. What you’re saying is you think we’re all still in danger. Which is why right now, Cooler Heads must prevail.

We need to put aside our differences and deal with our nephew. How do I know this isn’t some 3D chess move designed to get me to let my guard down? Well, you’re just going to have to trust me. Sounds like a foolish enterprise to me. Oh, for God’s sake, this was your idea. Yes, I know. But, I meant it. So did I.

Look. Why don’t we shake on

it? Okay. Fine. Great. Wonderful. Now, let’s figure out, together, how to deal with that chip off the old block Dimitri von Luischner. I think I know exactly where to start.

Gabby, put the gun down. You’re not gonna shoot me, okay? You don’t have it in you. Is that what you think? Oh, oh, you don’t remember. You’re not the first ex husband that I, that I would shoot and kill. Maybe you and Nick Fallon can compare notes where you’re burning it out. Okay, hey, hey. You don’t have to do this, okay?

You’re gonna end up in prison. Orange jumpsuit, solitary confinement. Been there, done that. You have left me no choice, thanks to you. Because you attacked Seven at our engagement party. Who’s to say you won’t do it at our wedding? Because I won’t. You have my word. Your word? Your word is crap. It is meaningless.

You loved me once, Gabby. Remember the great times we had together? I was a fool to even give you the time of day. Let alone love you, you Sick bastard. But you know what? I do love Stefan. With all my heart. He is the love of my life. And I will do anything to protect him.

Gabby, just listen to me. This isn’t necessary. I’m not going to go after Stefan. As much as I’m still in love with you, I get that we’re over. I know that now. Oh yeah? Since when? Since my sister came to visit me at the police station. Jingwen made me face some hard truths. Including the fact that I shouldn’t throw my life away over you.

Admittedly, it’s difficult to hear, but she’s really smart, and she’s also right. So, I’ve decided to move on with my life. I’m gonna stop ruminating over the past, pining over you. Believe it or not, I even hired a matchmaker. Matchmaker? Have a look at my laptop. I, I, I filled out a profile on everything.

I don’t recall you being a cat lover. You’ve listed Lisbon as your home away from home. I, I never seen you reading the Wall Street Journal. I’m looking for someone who’s a little sophisticated. Maybe. And I’ve visited Portugal, it’s one of my favorite countries. And I even fed a stray cat for a little while when I was in college.

I’m trying to cast a wide net, okay? God help the woman that you do catch. But I think the evidence is convincing. No? No, I’m trying to move on from you. And Gabby, I promise, I swear, I’ve come to my senses about you. I’ve accepted that you don’t love me and you never will. And I’m not going to come between you and Stefan.

So you just expect me to hand over a portion of my inheritance to you? Well, I think it’s only fair, Dimitri, that given that safeguarding your secret comes at a great cost to me. You see, Gwen is my friend and former cellmate, and now I have to lie to her. Right. I’m sure that’s gonna be a real hardship for you.

You snide son of a bitch. You know what’s a real hardship for me? Is being separated from my daughter. And if I have any hope of getting custody of her, I’m gonna need all the power and money I can get my hands on. Fine. How much money do you need? Do you have a number in mind? A number? How long is a piece of string?

Just tell me how much you need, dammit. Well, I figured since your mother’s gone AWOL, I can just have her piece of the pie. I don’t think Mommy Dearest will be too keen on that. Well, Mommy Dearest shouldn’t have tried to kill Stuffin. Or drugged me and EJ and… Cruelly hell dust amongst aging bottles of e nil.

Oh, but you weren’t in on that, were you, sweetie? Absolutely not. Oh, well good. Then, uh, if Megan Haddon had been so disappointing, I mean, some say she was rotten, conniving, evil sister, um, she could have stayed here and enjoyed all her money, but I’ll be happy to enjoy it for her.

So, Nephew, do we have a deal? Ah, there he is, our bon

vivant nephew, Dimitri. You know, your uncle and I, we were just talking about how nice it’s been getting to know you, and how we hope that you Stay in touch. Stay in touch. Are you two going somewhere? No, you are. Pack your bags and get the hell out of our house.

So, wait. Why were you with Dimitri? Okay, remember how I told you I was going to go back to his house to snoop around, play detective? Napoleon, according to plan, I was going to break out my sexy fishnet police costume and make a citizen dressed. Yes, because you thought that Dimitri had some sort of an ulterior motive for wanting to marry me, because you wouldn’t shut up about it, which was getting very tiresome, by the way, so…

I was quite relieved when last night you didn’t say anything about it, and I assume that that means you came up empty handed. You did, right? Empty handed?

Right. But before I could leave, Dimitri caught me in his room. Oh my god! Yeah, yeah, it was pretty tense at first. Then we went at it real hard, lots of back and forth, like two animals in the wild. Oh my, you mean it got physical? Yeah, I mean, it wasn’t knock down, drag out, but it was real rough. No broken bones or anything, no.

But, uh, have you two made up? I mean, is he, is he okay? Are you okay? I think so. I mean, my lower back is… Uh, never mind. Gwenny, listen, all of this is to say… that Dmitri convinced me how much marrying you means to him.

I know I have my reservations because I am so protective of you.

I have decided to give this marriage my full blessing.

I told Kristen, I said, you know, stop, stop with the games. And then I said… Out of, out of anger, out of panic, out of frustration that maybe I should kill her. Okay. Listen, my brother knows that he did a stupid thing. But it was born out of fear and desperation. You know, he believed that Kristen was gonna run off with his daughter and that he’d never see her again.

Okay, well that doesn’t give him the right to threaten murder. With a gun. Might I add a gun that he stole from his father? Listen, Brady knows what he did was wrong. That’s why he’s here coming clean. He’s not a violent criminal. He’s just a dad who loves his kid very deeply, okay? Detective, listen, I’m mortified by my behavior, okay?

I really, really am. And it was driven by the fact that I thought I was going to lose my daughter. But out of panic, and out of anger, and out of frustration, I profoundly regret it. So what do you say? We let this one go. Absolutely not.

I’ve heard this, I have heard all of this before, Lee, sorry, you probably don’t remember, but when you were signing those divorce papers, you made it seem like you were taking the high road, like you were bowing out gracefully. I even thought that we could end up friends. But then you had to go and plot the murder of my fiancé!

Look, I’m not saying I had any part in what happened to Stefan, but I will admit that I wasn’t quite as ready to let you go as I thought. Of course, I wanted to do the right thing. I wanted you to be happy. But in hindsight, I was a wreck. I was a heartbroken, miserable wreck. And it overwhelmed me. I couldn’t recognize myself anymore.

That, that justifies this? Oh god, if I was, if I just became homicidal every time that I was heartbroken Please, just let me finish. I, I, I’m in a much better place now. Heartbroken, sure. But the misery’s starting to let up a little. And who knows, if you let me live, I’m supposed to go on a date this evening.

And if I meet the right person, and we’re a good match, then maybe I’ll be able to move on from you. Not maybe, not maybe. I will. I must. I finally believe it’s possible. I’ve finally come to grips with reality. Fine. Fine! Go. On your date, Liv. But let me tell you something. I still do not trust you. And if you ever come after me or my husband again, I will pump you so full of lead, they will not be able to identify your corpse.

Oh, good luck tonight.

Sorry, Mr. Black, you threatened to kill someone while brandishing a loaded firearm. He was trying to It doesn’t matter what he was trying to do. It was a felony offense. The threat was made in the heat of the moment. Kristen had kidnapped his daughter. Not according to his daughter. She is a child who is trying to protect her mother.

Listen, this is all just a messy family dispute that got blown way out of proportion, and it can all be resolved without the police. Yeah, see, this is where I disagree with you. Uh, look, detective, I have dinner plans, so let’s just wrap this up. Uh huh. So, take Mr. Black down for booking. What? You can’t do that.

I just did, and when you’re done with Mr. Black, get a statement from Kristen DeMera. I’m sure she’ll have plenty to say. Oh.

Well, this is an interesting little… Plot twist? So you two are actually in agreement for once? In the face of a common enemy, EJ and I spoke and we decided to call a truce. If by common enemy you’re referring to my mother, well then I completely understand. But as I was just telling Aunt Kristen here, I had no prior knowledge of her schemes.

Why should we believe that? Because I’m telling the truth. I would never condone violence towards my own family. Sorry, Dimitri, but your impassioned protestations notwithstanding, we don’t trust you. Simple as that. Since for all we know, you and your mother could still be in cahoots. So I’d suggest you get out your suitcase and start packing.

All right, brothers. Brothers, let’s just all take a mindful pause. I think that we are, uh, being a tad unfair to Dimitri here. I’m assuming he’s guilty by association, not to mention Dimitri has shares at DiMera, as do I. And you know that, Peter. Will always vote with me. So do you really want to alienate a big chunk of your voting block?

Well, sister, I believe that’s a moot point since now Stephan and I are working together. Oh, you sure about that? I can be very persuasive, especially when I want something very badly. I could just, um… Talk to Lee Shin and Steven and… Kristen, what are you saying? I’ll be indirect. What I’m trying to say is now that you two have called a truce, I think it’s in all our best interest that we stick together as a family.

I know this is going to sound a little crazy, but, uh, I think we should give it the old college try.

Well, that’s quite the 180. I have your blessing.

Of course you do. You’re my best friend. My day one, always. If you’re happy, I’m happy. I’m really quite chuffed, Matty. I am. I have to say, I’m a bit surprised. I mean, when you have it in for someone, it’s very hard to change your mind. I mean, let’s be honest, you are a petty little twat sometimes, aren’t you?

Well, I’m not going to argue with that. The thing is, I… I saw another side of Dimitri. He’s not the James Bond villain I thought he was. Wow. He must have really worked his magic to make you flip like this. You could say that.

Hold the phone. Hang on. When Dimitri caught you in his bedroom, that was yesterday. So, why were you hanging out with him today?

Yeah, I am glad you asked why I was with Dimitri today. Because I was just about to tell you my beautiful friend slash bride to be. Once, I was on board with the wedding. Your groom shared with me a capital S secret. What kind of secret? Well, it’s really more of a surprise. For you. For the wedding. That’s why you haven’t heard from Dimitri.

We’ve been planning it today. Oh! Oh,

right, okay. Well, I suppose that explains the radio silence, then. Hence why I didn’t tell you last night that I ran into Dimitri. I was trying to keep his secret… secret. So, please, don’t let him know that you know that we’re planning something. Yeah, I know. Lips are sealed. Pinky promise? Oh, Matty, I am so, so grateful that you’ve come around.

You don’t even know. I mean, it means the world to me that my best friend and my husband to be are actually getting along. You have no idea how happy you’ve made me.

Why are you suddenly so protective of Dimitri? What gifts? Money, Jay. Can’t you figure it out? It’s what father would have wanted. Solidarity. Family meant everything to him, as we all know. Now, I understand that you don’t trust Dimitri. But, I am willing to vouch for him. Fine. But if one of us ends up dead because of him, that’s on you.

I can live with that. Stefan, we agreed. I know. We don’t have a choice. Demetri, you can stay. For now. Dammit, Stefan, you don’t get to decide. Barstin and I decided, and you’re outnumbered, brother. This is insane. You will regret this, both of you. Thank you, Uncle Stefan. And, uh, you too, Aunt Kristen. Thank you for sticking up for me.

Oh, it’s my pleasure. And I’m sure you’ll find a way to pay me back.

Oh, you didn’t even bring me over out there. What’s going on? Uh, why don’t we go upstairs? I’ll explain everything. So, where have you been? Uh, I’ll explain that later when we’re alone. Yeah, I just sat down. How will I know what she looks like? Okay, I’ll be on the lookout for a woman with long, dark hair, wearing a blue dress.

Yeah, thanks again.

You’ve gotta be kidding me.

Detective Hunter, what can I do for you? I’m here to ask you about an incident that occurred between you and Mr. Black. All right, listen. I did not, nor would I ever, kidnap my own daughter. Yes, Rachel said the same thing. Well, then why are you here? Because she also said that Mr. Black threatened you with a gun.

Well, I wish to hell you would have kept your mouth shut. You know, the whole, you have the right to remain silent thing. No, I’m sorry, Belle. I’m grateful that you got me out on bail so quickly. Yeah, well, this is going to be a tough one, Brady. You really made my whole case a whole lot harder. Sis, I’m not really gonna go to prison, am I?

You heard Trask. She’s on a warpath. So if Kristen decides to press charges, yeah, there’s a very good chance you could go to prison.
