John thought about seeing Abe on the docks. He let Marlena know that he felt like he let Abe and Paulina down. He flashed back to Abe helping him when he found out he was Roman. John wished he were a better friend to Abe. Marlena assured him that he was a good friend. John wanted to know how she was doing with it. She felt like everyone would need each other to get through what happened. Whitley got nervous when she saw the paper. She noticed Abe’s picture on it. Abe saw her and wondered what she was doing with the paper. She covered up his picture and told him about a man drowning at the docks. He wanted to read the story for himself. She didn’t want him to stress out and have another seizure. He apologized to her. He didn’t realize how stressful that was for her. She let him know that she was doing everything for him and got ready to go to work. Theo read about Abe’s presumed death. Theo told Eli that he kept losing people he loved. Lani showed up and said that he didn’t lose her. She let him know that she was granted furlough for Abe’ funeral. She had to wear an ankle bracelet. Steve and Kayla were going over the evidence. Steve found it hard to believe that Abe fell off the docks and drowned. He thought it was too easy. He mentioned that no one saw Abe until the exact moment he fell. He wondered how he survived on the street if he was so weak that he fell in the water. Theo arrived at Steve and Kayla’s place. Steve apologized for not coming through for him. He knew that Steve did the best he could. He thanked him for his donation. Theo didn’t understand how Abe suddenly disappeared and drowned. He didn’t think it made any sense.

Whitley was getting ready to leave when Abe told her that he was lonely when she leaves. He wanted to know if Theo could come over more. She lied to him and told him that he went back to South Africa. Abe couldn’t believe that he left without saying goodbye to him. He wanted to know if Chanel could come over. Whitley said that she would love to visit, but she’s busy at the bakery. Lani surprised Paulina. She let Paulina know that she didn’t think Abe was really dead. Paulina didn’t think it made any sense either. She wondered how they are supposed to have a homegoing when they didn’t have a body. Paulina thought they declared him dead too fast. She wanted to look at the evidence herself. Eli thought it was against policy. Lani gave him a dirty look and he thought Rafe wouldn’t mind. John and Marlena went to Steve and Kayla’s place. They offered their condolences to Theo. Steve and John felt like they should have done more to find Abe. Marlena assured them that they did their best. She said Abe would feel the same way if he were there. John felt like it was better to blame themselves than to accept that Abe was dead. Marlena thought it wasn’t guilt that was bothering them. They know that something is wrong. John and Steve wanted to get back to work. Eli and Lani were at the station. He showed her the evidence they have concerning Abe’s  disappearance. Abe watched the soap and noticed that a character on the show looked like Theo.

Leo found EJ and Kristen in the wine cellar. They told him Megan kept them down there. They told him they didn’t remember why she had them down there. EJ said it was like the memory has been evaporated. Kristen said she thought Megan drugged them to make them forget. She was confused as to what Megan could have used. Leo asked if it had something to do with Dimitri marrying Gwen. Kristen said that sounded familiar but she couldn’t remember. EJ said he was sure it had to do with someone else. Kristen said Leo found them a while ago and didn’t untie them. She told him to untie them. Nicole talked to Eric about EJ not being there for her. She told him she was fine. She said he should leave. They hugged each other. She was about to kiss him when they pulled away from each other. He reminded her that they are seeing other people. She apologized to him. She said she felt an old pull.

Harris said it was Li.

Li said he was heartbroken over what happened with Gabi. Rafe understood how he felt, but he wanted Li to leave. Wendy said her brother would never hire someone to kill Stefan. Stefan said he did pull the plug on him when he was in a coma. Wendy said that was different. She said it was a split second mistake. Johnny reminded them that he tried to get them to reconsider going to the party. Chad realized Harris was brainwashed which Li did before. Harris told everyone to shut up. He said he had orders from Li to kill Stefan. He said it was about that time. Chad and Stephanie tried to change Harris’ mind. Gabi said if he shot Stefan he would have to shoot her too. She said she couldn’t live without Stefan. Harris said he didn’t have a choice. Rafe came in with his gun. He told Harris to put down his weapon.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

No, I can’t come to Rockville right now. Yes, I’m aware it is a holiday, but sweep it is reopening tomorrow and you were supposed to make that flower delivery yesterday. Yeah, well, you try running a business after your partner leaves town and your best employee tries to ruin your business.

Did you know my dad? Oh, you’re Theo. You’ve covered son, and you are.

So the eyewitness who saw my dad fall into the water is an actor. Jerry Prentice is his name.

He hasn’t been in much. Just local theater, a commercial. Oh no, look at this. A couple years ago he was on that soap, body and soul.

Oh, well that’s a little better. Do you wanted to see me, Ms. Delo, it’s about time you got here. I have a job for you. What kind of job? Well, I need someone who can pretend to me the true and rifle air to the DeLorean fortune and that.

What is my son doing in one of my life’s stories?

The hell’s going on here.

Nurse King. What are you doing here? I. I, I, I came to say I’m sorry,

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

Okay, look, I, I get it’s the 4th of July and you wanna spend it with your family, but my family just lost someone really, really dear to us. And, well, my bakery is reopening tomorrow and I, I just really need something good to happen. Okay? So if you can’t help me, I 8:00 PM I will be in the store. Thank you.

Oh, uh, they were supposed to make a delivery yesterday. Flo, they’re coming tonight. As you probably gather, you’re reopening tomorrow. Yeah, that’s the plan. Assuming nothing else goes wrong, what is all this? Uh, just doing my community service. Keeping Salem clean. Yeah, I heard the DA gave you a deal. Lucky break.

Yeah, well, turns out that she had a personal experience with an abusive relationship, so she showed me some mercy. Well, good for you. Uh, I should go, uh, Chanel, uh, hang on, please. What is it?

I just really wanna say how sorry I am.

You’re sorry for what? Well, for your loss. I heard about your husband’s death and I wanted to share my deep condolences. Thank you. That’s very kind. I didn’t know Mayor Carver very well, but he seemed like a decent and caring man. Yes. He was, and you may have been the last person to see him alive.

I thought so. Uh, but it sounds like that guy at the docks was the last one to see him before he met his tragic fate,

body and soul. Never heard of it. Nice try. I know you used to watch it during the day whenever you worked night shifts. I have no idea what you’re talking about. Oh, really? So it was just a coincidence that the TV would be on that channel when I came home. I mean, if you’re watching it, it’s just, just I have to it.

Fine. All right. I, I, I watched it here and there. Mm-hmm. But only cuz I had a crush on that actress, or was her name Sal or something like that. Oh, so you like her, huh? Just cuz she reminded me of you. But baby you are way, way better looking nice, safe. No, but I don’t recall seeing this guy on the show though.

It looks like he was just in a couple episodes. Yes, he gave up his Hollywood dreams and moved back to good old Salem. I gotta be honest. I was kind of hoping for a mugshot and not a headshot. Yeah. He ran him through the system, but came back clean. Looks like he was just an innocent bystander on the docks.

I mean, why would this guy have any reason to lie about seeing my dad fall into the water?

Jerry? Jerry, you’re the witness. You’re the one who saw my dad fall into the river. Yeah, that’s me. But, but what are you doing here now? Uh, I guess I was drawn to come back because I felt guilty. Guilty about what

is an actor?

Doesn’t make sense. I want you to pretend to be Lord Kyle Vaughn Furstenberg bastard, son of lady Charmaine de Laqua, heir to the de fortune. Do you really think that’s going to work? Why not? Well, in case you haven’t noticed, I don’t exactly bear resemblance to the Delacroix land. Oh, what difference does that make?

DNA never lies until it does. So Kyle, Brandy, Kyle. Oh, rights. Kyle, you do exactly what I say. And no one will ever be the wiser.

I sure as hell will be.

Look, I felt terrible when I heard the news. I was really praying that Mary Carver would be found safe. We all were the not knowing was awful, especially for my mom and well now we have closure, but Babe is gone.

Look, I’ll never be able to forgive myself with the role that I played in all of this. And I know that Colin had nothing to do with Abe’s disappearance, but I mean, if he would’ve never assaulted him, and if I would’ve never helped him in that stupid revenge block, what ifs are pointless now? Okay. I look, believe me, I, I did my fair share of those when Colin and Sloan’s mother died, and it didn’t change a damn thing.

So now I know all we can do is just keep moving forward.

You know, you were right. You know, but while I was putting up those fires, I guess I was just trying to asage my guilty conscience. Did it work? No, it, it didn’t, and I know that there’s nothing I can do to make up for how I hurt you and your feeling.

I, I feel guilty because I saw your dad fall and I almost got to him, but it was too late and I wanted to jump in and save him, but I. You can’t swim. I, I understand. I know that the last thing my dad would’ve wanted was for you to lose your life while trying to save his. You did what you could, right? You called 9 1 1.

Yeah.

At least you know what happened to her. I’m actually glad that I ran into you so that. I can say thank you for that.

That’s very kind of, you very kind pay me a condolence call. You obviously care very deeply for your patience. Oh, mayor Carver was, wasn’t just a patient. I voted for him in every election. I then volunteered for him on his campaign. Before I ever met him, I felt as if I, I knew him personally. Hmm. Abe had an amazing talent for connecting with people.

Oh, he did. You’re very lucky to have had him for as long as you did. I keep telling myself that doesn’t make the loss any easier. We were supposed to be celebrating our first wedding anniversary. I was there. You know what? I was in the park the day that you got married. You were? Yes. I attended a, a Juneteenth barbecue and I just stumbled upon it to watch you exchanged your vows and then jump the broom.

Oh. It made me so, so happy to be a small part of that day o of your lives. I will never forget Abe Carver and I, I feel blessed to have known him.

What are you reading the statement from Nurse Whitley King? It seems like she was the last person to have seen my dad before he left the hospital. But if her timetable is right, there’s still all that time missing before he showed up at the docks. I mean, Eli, where could he have gone? We checked every security camera in Salem.

Nothing. There’s Ray. I’m not supposed to be looking at this house. Okay, that’s fine. No, I don’t wanna get you in trouble, babe. I’m not worried about that.

Bonnie. Oh, Bonnie, it’s so good to see you. You too, boss. Yeah. Wish you were under any other circumstances. Same. Hi. Oh, you too. Haven’t met. Sorry. This is Detective Jada. Hunter. Lonnie. Detective, please call me Jada. I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Abe was a wonderful man. Thank you. And. I really appreciate you working so hard on this case.

Okay. Listen, I’m sure that you didn’t, uh, just come all the way down here to Salem PD to say hello. Well, I was part of it. Right. So, uh, let’s just say hypothetically, if you wanted to take a look at the evidence and I wasn’t there, then, uh, hypothetically that would be okay. No harm, no foul. Thank you for understanding.

I’m sorry. That’s my boss from DC second. Okay.

Oh, I’m sorry. Yeah, I’m really sorry. We. I just wish we had better information on your father, Ray. I know that you’ve gone over this case a hundred different ways. I guess I thought if I just, if I saw the evidence for myself that it would help me to accept what happened. Yeah, but I don’t know. Truth is if even if we did figure it out, nothing’s gonna bring my dad back.

Let’s just get to the credits. So I’m hosting the Party of the Decade at Patterns. You plead it, right? And I expect by the ends of the evening you’ll be welcomed into the family’s exclusive. Oh, what do you get out of this? That’s for me to know, for you to find out.

All right here.

Jerry Prentice. What the hell?

That’s not my son’s name.

That means Pauline’s been lying to me. What else is she lying about?

I gotta get outta here. I gotta get outta here.

Are you still seeing Dr. Evans? Yeah. Therapy is a condition of my probation, but I mean, I would’ve gone even if I didn’t have to. So if she’s helping you, yeah, more than I could have hoped. I’m glad to hear that.

Yeah, and I’m glad to see you moving forward too. Look, Chanel Sweet Bits is a great place and I know that you’re gonna make it a success again. Yeah, I’m gonna try. I hope you found someone’s salad to replace me. I did. She’s conscientious, punctual. Trustworthy.

Sounds perfect.

I mean, her oatmeal, scot cheese, taste like hockey pucks, but we’re working on it. Well, what happened there? A friendly fire. Oh, uh, something like that. I’m actually headed home so that I can shower and change and make it back for the flower delivery tonight. Well, um, go look with everything tomorrow and please tell your mom how sorry I am.

I will. Thanks.

Well, I should be going, uh, nurse King. Before you do, could I ask you a favor? Uh, sure. Now, um, as you said, you may be the last person to talk to Abraham. Um, could you tell me his last words to you? Last words, my daughter Chanel. Told me he was confused. He didn’t even remember who I was. I, I was just wondering if you had the same experience.

Did you, you awake? How are you feeling?

Paulina? Excuse me. I know. I know who you are. You’re my wife.

He said. Your name. He did see, yeah. Y’all on some level, he, he must have remembered you.

Oh, thank you. Thank you. Your an angel. You have no idea what it means to me to hear that. Yes. Yes, of course. I, I, I better be going now off, off to work. Of course, of course, of course. And thank you. Thank you again for, for stopping by. Yes. Of

I hope your husband’s taking you somewhere special for your anniversary. Oh, it’s today. It is. Yeah. Happy anniversary. Thank you. But we agreed not to celebrate it until I am actually free. Oh,

what? What’s wrong? My boss just assigned me to a new case in Arizona. What she Explain your situation to him. I tried, but it turns out this case is tied to some other investigation that I’ve been working on for months. Oh, I can’t believe this. Baby, I’m sorry. I, hopefully it’s just for a day. I, I’m gonna do everything that I can to make sure that I’m back in time for his funeral.

But you, you know, I, I, I know you can’t make any promises, honey. No, I, I understand baby. You, you have a job to do, but I’m a supervised release. You agreed to look after me. Does this mean that I have to, I’ll take responsibility for you. Really? Yeah, of course. I’ll get on with corrections right away. Thank you Ray.

That’s the least I can do. When do you leave? They said that they’ll book me out on the latest possible flight, so at least we have some time to spend together tonight. Okay. Then we just have to make the most of the time that we have. Do you mind if we stop by Doug and Julie so I can say bye? Of course not.

Um, as long as we can make one other stop on the way.

Can I ask you something? Of course. I’m just wondering, since you were the last person to see my dad alive, how did he seem? What do you mean? Like did it seem like he was confused, upset? I’m not sure. Uh, I was pretty far away.

Well, did it look like he just tripped? Pretty much it, it, it all happened so fast. I, I don’t think he was in any pain. That’s what you were wondering. Yeah. You have that up. That’s good to know. Thanks. I wish I could tell you more. I, I wish I could have done more, but you, your dad seemed like a, a pretty special guy.

He was,

and I’m gonna miss him forever. Um, Theo, there’s something I need to tell you. We gotta get outta here. See what’s going on.

Abe, what are you doing? I’m leaving.

No, you’re not.

Oh, great. More cases. I’m sorry. I know, I know. You’re already swamped. Maybe if we had Eli and Lonnie back on the force, I’d be able to get through this stack. Not that I’m complaining. No, no, no, no. Complain away. I’m just saying. I mean, well, we have leash and in custody. Harris Michaels is under observation at the hospital, and then there’s Kristen and EJ Demere’s kidnapping situation, which is fishy to say the least.

Oh man. I just remember, oh no, you got one more assignment. Yeah. What now? Go home, watch some fireworks. Well, come on. No, that’s in order now. I am not saying you have to watch fireworks with me, but if you do happen to, wanna spend your well-deserved time off with yours, truly, you may, um, street location then.

Well, I do enjoy being. Discreet with you, Ms. Hernandez, you’re on.

Jerry, what is it, Theo? You’ve suffered such a terrible loss. And Theo, buddy Eli. Hi. Hi.

It’s a trying your dad, what are you guys doing here? I asked Eli to bring me here so I could see where the accident happened. I, I just, I didn’t know this would be here. So many people loved that.

Dear Jerry Apprentice. Yes. Jerry came because he felt bad about not being able to help dad when he fell into the river. But I, I told him that it’s not his fault that we don’t blame him. Thank you for saying that. Hey, why did you tell my husband you’re on that soap? Body and soul? Oh, it was a long time ago.

Mm-hmm. Well, if he’d known, he probably would’ve asked you for your autograph cuz he is secretly a fan of yours. Lonnie? No. Uh, well this is clearly a, uh, family moment, so I should just go, Jeremy, wait. Before Elia and Eli showed up, you said that you had something to tell me. What is it? Oh, I just wanted to say again how terrible I feel about your dad, and I want you to know how deeply saw her half.

Hey baby. Oh Mama. So how’s the reopening of Sweet Bits coming along? Who is coming? What are you doing on? Figured you’d be there all night getting ready? Yeah, I just came back to shower and change really quick and I’m gonna head back and, um, but. I just, I, I really hate leaving you alone again. I haven’t been alone.

Not for the whole time anyway. Oh, who came over? Oh, Whitley uh, um, nurse King came by to pay her respects really Abe’s nurse. Mm-hmm. She had so many wonderful things to say about him that was nice of her. Mm-hmm. He wasn’t her patient for long, but he really seemed to touch her life. You’ve been lying to me.

Oh, Abe, what are you talking about? Sat theo on Body and Soul, and he was playing Lorna DeLorean’s Bodyguard. And I watched the credits and they didn’t say Theo Carver, it was Jerry Prentice. You see?

Jerry Preis is his stage name, stage name. Apparently there was another actor named Theo Carver. He didn’t wanna be confused with him. Anyway, body, his soul was pretty much his last role, and he moved to South Africa and open up his own business.

I don’t believe you. I don’t believe any of it.

You’re leaving tonight, believe me. I wish I didn’t have to this anniversary. That sucks. I told you, Theo, we’re not celebrating our anniversary. Not until I’m free. Dad wouldn’t want you to wait. You’re playing the dad card. Really, Theo? He’s kind of right. Lonny. What are you saying, babe? I have hours before I need to be at the airport.

Plus we haven’t had a night together, and I don’t know how long. Well, we don’t have to make it about our anniversary. I, I just want to enjoy every moment that I have with you. He’s right. You should listen to him. I’m gonna head over to Pauls Chanel’s reopening her bakery tomorrow, and I’m sure that your mom could use the comfort.

Thank you. There may or may not be lasagna left in the fridge, so it’s not entirely altruistic. Yes. Soon. Easy.

What’s that?

This is my old pile. Bruno dad got him from me at a carnival when I was six. I used to not be able to sleep unless I was holding this thing. I squeeze. I’m sorry, this little, no, I was ripped off. You lived. Lived a tough life.

I think Dad probably thought I was gonna carry all my stuffed animals with me to high school. You’d be very proud if I was gonna leave this here, then

you. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. I will be. I love you so much. I love you.

I knew I was gone, but

I don’t think I felt it until right now. I’m sorry, Lonnie. I’m so sorry.

Uh, so it sounds like you and Theo have big plans tonight. Where? Dinner, fireworks on tv. Maybe a game of Canasta. You can’t play Canasta with Theo. Why not? So guys a shark. He’ll take you for everything you’re worth. Okay, we’ll skip the canesta now. Tell me, uh, how’s the new employee at Sweet Bits working out?

She’s okay. Just okay. Well, she’s fine. She’s just not Talia. I, I ran into TA at the square and um, she wanted me to tell you how sorry she feels about Abe and she still feels so guilty. I’m deeply ashamed for her part in all of it. Well enough of that. What do you mean? I mean, Talia is a young woman who was under the spell of a, a very bad man.

So for obvious reasons, my heart goes out to her and I think she should let go of the guilt and the shame and. To focus on being stronger and wiser from now on, making a good life for herself. Oh, that’s, That’s very, uh, kind of you, I, I’ll tell her that if I ever see her again.

Hey, hey. What’s going on? Uh, I’ve been just here to give my parole officer my signed forms. You know, to show I’m doing my community service and my therapy, but I can’t seem to find her anywhere. I’ll take care of it for you. Oh, thanks. So how’s therapy going? Really well, Dr. Evans is the best. Well, I’m glad it’s working.

Yep. She even offered to help me find a job at the hospital when my probation ends. That’s amazing. Now you’ll finally get back to doing what you were trained to do. Yeah. What’s wrong?

And it’s just, I saw Chanel before and she told me she hired this new woman. Are you jealous? Jealous. No. For what? You miss working at the bakery? Yeah, actually I do a lot. I know Chanel never forgive me for what I did, and she shouldn’t, but I mean, GIA, I have to admit. What?

Every time I see her, I miss her too.

Oh, Abe, everything I’ve told you is the truth. No, no, it’s not. Something has felt wrong from the beginning. You know what? Maybe you should lay down, darling. I don’t want, I don’t want to lay down. I want you to tell me the truth right now. Or I’m gonna call the police.

Oh, there you go. Here you go. What did, what did Jesus do to me? Oh, it was just a mild sedative, darling, you drug me. Oh, you were, you were confused and upset. Oh, I can’t let you leave, darling. Not now. Not ever. You.

Toya. Hey, uh, sorry. I realized I never returned this. Oh, thanks. Yeah, I figured you need it. You know, from a replacement.

I am really grateful. To be here with you in this moment, but I miss my dad. I miss our beautiful babies. That reminds me Carver and Jules, they made this for you. I think we have a couple of artistic geniuses on our hands, um, for mommy. Ugh.

Carter did that. Yeah, I love it. Um, but I, I don’t have anything for you babe. You don’t need to get me anything for our anniversary. Just having you here with me. It’s the best gift I could ever receive. Just sucks that we don’t have more time together. I know, but we’ll be together soon enough. You’ll be free.

You’ll be a family again. Yeah, and I’ll never take that for granted again. My freedom, my beautiful family. Just having you guys close to me and not just in my heart. I love you. I love you too.

Thank you.

I was hoping you wouldn’t notice. What are you thinking about?

Last 4th of July, your father was sitting right there where you are now. We were watching. Tv. He was trying so hard to be so strong after Lani had just been sent to prison and you going back to South Africa.

We were watching the fireworks and I looked over

and there was this tear holding down his face.

See, isn’t this nice a perfect night, just the two of us.

Update written by Joseph

Chanel goes home to Paulina and brings in flowers that they received. Chanel reads the card and that the flowers were from John and Marlena. Paulina calls them good friends who loved Abe so much and says they must be grieving as well, so she feels she should send them something. Chanel encourages her to just take care of herself right now.

John has a dream about finding Abe on the docks and then Abe saying goodbye. John then wakes up in a panic.

Whitley goes home with her mail and sees the front page of the newspaper about Abe being presumed dead. Whitley goes to throw it away but Abe comes in and questions what she is doing.

Eli goes to Theo’s room at the Salem Inn and hugs him. Theo asks if Eli has seen the newspaper saying that Abe is dead and that Rafe thinks so too. Theo cries that he keeps losing all the people he loves. Lani then arrives and says he hasn’t lost her as they embrace. Theo questions her being there. Lani explains that she hasn’t been released from prison but Eli convinced them to let her go for Abe’s funeral and she just has to wear an ankle monitor. Theo hugs her and is thankful that she is there. Lani tells him that she’s grateful to be there but she’s so sorry she couldn’t have been there when Abe first went missing. Eli assures that there is nothing she could have done that Steve, John, and Rafe didn’t try. Theo doesn’t get how no one saw Abe. Lani encourages him to be strong for each other because that is what Abe would’ve wanted as they hug.

Kayla joins Steve in the living room at home. Kayla comments on Steve not coming to bed last night. Steve knew he wouldn’t be able to sleep as he still can’t believe that Abe fell off the docks and drowned. Kayla brings up the evidence. Steve points out that evidence can be fabricated. Kayla asks if that’s what he thinks happened. Steve feels it’s too easy.

Marlena comments on John waking up in a sweat, calling out Abe’s name. John laments another damn nightmare. Marlena asks if he wants to talk about it. John explains that in the dream, he found Abe at the docks and then he was gone. John complains that Paulina trusted that he and Steve would find Abe, but he let her down and let Abe down.

Abe asks what Whitley is doing with the newspaper. She admits she was getting rid of it before he woke up because she didn’t want him to get upset. Abe responds that he is upset now because he doesn’t like being handled. Whitley tells him that something terrible happened at the docks as a local man who had gone missing was found in the water and now his poor family can have closure because they had been looking for him for weeks. Abe says he feels sorry for them, but he’s not falling apart, so he’d like to read that story for himself.

Chanel gets lasagna at the door that Maggie and Victor sent over. Chanel encourages Paulina to take a shower and get dressed but Paulina says for now, she just needs to sit here as she hugs Chanel.

Whitley tells Abe that she’s putting her foot down because the details are too upsetting and the doctors say they have to keep his stress levels to a minimum. Abe argues that he feels fine. Whitley claims she’s scared all the time. Abe apologizes as he knows this isn’t easy for her. Whitley says she just can’t lose him and talks about having to go to work and leaving him home alone. Abe assures that he feels fine and she doesn’t have to worry about him. Whitley decides to go get ready for work, insisting that she’s doing this for him and it’s what’s best for him.

Marlena feels John is being too hard on himself when he and Steve did everything they could to find Abe. John feels they must not have done enough. John states that the worst part is that they gave Paulina hope by telling her it doesn’t make sense how Abe could’ve gotten all the way to the docks without someone recognizing him. John acknowledges the hospital bracelet and his blood was on the scene as well as the eye witness.

Lani tells Theo about getting to see her kids and how they are too young to understand what’s going on. Fireworks begin going off outside. Theo realizes it’s the 4th of July which means it’s Eli and Lani’s anniversary. Theo asks them what’s wrong as they both seemed weird when he brought up their anniversary. Eli reveals that they’ve decided not to celebrate this year. Lani says it’s because of Abe. Theo argues that is a reason they should celebrate because of how happy Abe was for them. Lani cries that she can’t have champagne and a fancy dinner without Abe there. Theo apologizes for upsetting her. Eli hugs Lani as she cries. Eli suggests they head over to Paulina’s and invites Theo, but Theo says he’ll come later as he thinks Paulina will want to spend some time alone with Lani. Theo adds that he has something he has to do.

Steve asks Kayla if she really thinks Abe was physically capable of getting out of the hospital on his own. Kayla admits she didn’t think so at first but supposes it’s possible. Steve talks about the police putting out an APB and searching for weeks for one of the most well known people in the city but they get no reports until one day, the first person to see Abe sees him fall in to the water and drown and the case is closed. Steve feels something doesn’t add up. Steve questions how Abe would’ve survived the weeks before that since he suffered amnesia and was recovering from a head injury. Kayla asks if he still thinks Colin did it. Steve says maybe he kidnapped Abe, but he was in jail most of the time that Abe was missing. Steve doesn’t understand how Abe didn’t end up in social services. Kayla brings up Abe being instrumental in helping the homeless and says this is scaring her. Theo arrives at the door. Kayla hugs him and says she’s so glad he came over. Steve hugs him and says he’s so sorry. Steve calls it a tough day and apologizes that he and John didn’t come through for them. Theo says they did their best and he just came to thank them for the donation to Abe’s charity. Kayla talks about how they really loved Abe and they love Theo so they are here for him, always.

John thinks back to a past time with Abe. Marlena asks where he was just now. John responds that he was thinking of the moment he found out that he wasn’t the person he thought he was and how his whole life changed in an instant and Abe was there. John declares that his friendship with Abe was the one thing that was still the same in his life. John wishes he could’ve been as good a friend to Abe as he had always been to him. Marlena encourages that he was and that Abe always knew that. John complains that he was so damn sure they were going to find Abe and that he was being held against his will, but he was so damn wrong.

Abe turns on the TV as Whitley tells him that she’s off to work now. She asks if he’s still mad at her. Abe responds that he’s not mad and he just gets a bit lonely when she’s gone. She thought he was catching up on Body and Soul. Abe remarks that it would be nice to have people who talk back and suggests Theo could come hang out for awhile. Whitley tells him that Theo had to travel back to South Africa. Abe questioning his son leaving town without saying goodbye. Whitley claims that Theo stopped by but Abe was resting and she didn’t want to disturb him. Abe argues that she should’ve woken him up. Whitley agreed and apologizes. Abe then asks about Chanel and if she can come see him.

Paulina tells Chanel that she just keeps thinking about the heartache she caused Abe with her secrets and lies. Chanel encourages that she more than made up for it with her love as Abe was crazy about her. Eli and Lani then show up at the door, surprising Chanel.

Kayla encourages Theo to remember to eat and that they are there if he ever feels alone or needs to talk. Theo thanks them and thinks he’s going to be okay, especially now that his sister is here.

Chanel tells Paulina that she won’t believe this. Lani then enters, shocking Paulina as they embrace.

John apologizes to Marlena for talking about and thinking about himself when Marlena is going through this too. Marlena states that it is hitting her hard too, but that doesn’t mean he can’t talk about how he’s feeling. Marlena says the only way to get through this is to talk about their feelings. Marlena thinks she has an idea.

Kayla tells Theo that Paulina must have been thrilled to see Lani and is thankful to Eli for bringing her home. Theo points out that it’s only temporary. Kayla is glad the whole family will be together for the funeral. Theo brings up how when his mom died, he got to say goodbye but his dad just disappeared. Theo cries that it doesn’t make sense to him.

Paulina tells Lani that she’s so grateful that she’s here, even if it is for a terribly sad reason. Lani responds that she’s grateful too even if it is for a short time. Lani states that part of her doesn’t feel like Abe is really gone as it’s so surreal. Paulina complains that the way it happened just doesn’t make sense to her. Paulina says maybe that’s because they didn’t get to say goodbye to him or see him. Paulina asks how they can have a proper funeral without a body.

Whitley informs Abe that Chanel intended to come over but she’s been swamped at the bakery. Abe guesses that means another day of staring at the walls. Whitley encourages him about watching Body and Soul.

Eli says there is no telling when or if Abe’s body will ever be found. Lani points out that they didn’t waste any time declaring Abe dead even though there’s no evidence proving it as fact. Lani wants to see the evidence and tells Eli that she wants to go to the police station. Eli notes that’s against policy but says given the circumstances, he doesn’t think Rafe would mind. Lani asks to go now but Paulina argues that it’s her anniversary so she shouldn’t be spending it at the police station, especially when nothing she finds there can bring back Abe. Lani insists that she has to see the evidence for herself or she’ll never sleep again. Paulina knows there is no changing her mind. Chanel decides to walk Lani and Eli out as she has to get back to the bakery. Chanel asks if Paulina will be okay by herself. Paulina responds that she better get used to it.

John and Marlena go to Steve and Kayla’s where they are surprised to see Theo. Marlena hugs Theo and says it’s so good to see him and that she’s so sorry about Abe. Theo tells John that he knows how hard he and Steve worked to find Abe and he’s very grateful. Steve calls Abe one of the best men and says they loved him a lot. Theo says Abe knew that and gets emotional. Marlena asks if he wants to talk. Theo thinks he should get going and mentions that Lani is there. Marlena sends their love to Lani and Paulina. Kayla says to call if there’s anything they can do. Theo says it was nice to see them all again. Steve tells him to come back any time as Theo then exits. Steve and John complain that they should have found Abe. Marlena feels they are blaming themselves too much when they did everything they could and did their very best.

Whitley tells Abe that she wishes she could stay and watch Body and Soul with him but she has to get to work, so she tells him to have fun and exits.

Eli brings Lani to the police station and asks if she’s okay. Lani says it’s just really weird being back here with so many memories, mainly meeting Eli and falling in love. They talk about getting married and living happily ever after as they kiss.

John agrees that he and Steve busted their ass to find Abe. John thinks he’s just blaming himself because it’s a lot easier than accepting the fact that Abe is gone. Steve feels the same. John tells Steve about his dream of Abe. John mentions that in the dream, Abe just walked away from him and didn’t fall in the water. Marlena asks about the end of the dream and for more details. John explains that in the dream, he was going to call Paulina but Abe said he couldn’t stay and then said goodbye, turned around and walked off. Marlena feels something is wrong. Steve agrees, repeating that Abe had amnesia and questions how he survived all those weeks with no one seeing him or looking after him. John brings up the witness being the only person to see him which means Abe had to get all the way down to the dock without anyone seeing him. Steve declares that they need to get back to work.

Lani and Eli go over the evidence in Abe’s case in the interrogation room. Lani recalls when she first came to Salem and being determined to prove that Abe was her biological father but she was wrong. Eli encourages that Abe is her father in every way that counts. Lani goes over Jerry’s witness statement and sees his photo which she notes looks like a professional photo. Eli notes that Jada dug that up and it turns out that Jerry is an actor.

Abe continues watching Body and Soul where Jerry shows up as an actor in the show. Abe recognizes him and questions it being Theo.

Whitley shows up at Paulina’s door. Paulina asks what she’s doing there.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Mama, look how beautiful mama.

Oh, just, just put, put a bit all the, okay.

All right. And here is the note.

You can read it.

Okay. Dear Paulina and Chanel, we are very sorry for your unimaginable loss. You are in our thoughts and we are here for you. Whatever you need, always love John and Marlin.

Such good friends. I’ve loved Abe so much. I’m sure they must be grieving too. Um, I should send them something.

No, mama. Right now you just need to take care of yourself. Okay.

Come on buddy. You gotta be out here somewhere.

Is that you buddy?

Hello, John.

I knew that I’d find you. Oh, I gotta tell Paulina. I’m sorry, John. I can’t stay. What do you mean you can’t stay? Goodbye old friend.

No, no, no. Don’t believe. Don’t go Abraham. Abraham. Don’t go.

What are you doing with that paper?

Did you, did you see the paper? They’re saying that my dad is dead. The, they’re saying that Commissioner Hernandez thinks so too. All the people that I need and love, I I just keep losing them. You haven’t lost me, Theo. I’m right here. Hi.

Like Sam through the hour class. So are the of

So does this mean No, I, I haven’t been released from prison, but Eli convinced the warden to grant me a furlough for dad’s funeral. I just have to wear this, honey. Thank God you’re here. I love you. I’m so grateful I could be here. I’m just, I’m so sorry, Theo. I wasn’t here when dad first went missing, and I wish we could have waited together or maybe I could have helped find him.

No, babe, we went over this. There’s nothing that you could have done that Steve, John, or Raf didn’t try. Helis, right? Everybody was looking for him, and even though he’s the most well-known man in Salem, nobody saw him on a single soul. I just, I don’t get it money. I don’t get it either. Hey, but we have to be strong for each other.

Okay. And we have to take care of each other. Okay. Because that is what dad would’ve wanted. Okay. I love you.

You didn’t even come to bed last night. Well, I knew I wouldn’t be able to sleep,

just be going over this stuff again. I still can’t believe Abe just walked off the docks, fell in the water, and drowned even though all the evidence points to that evidence can be fabricated. Is that what you think happened? It’s just too easy. Sweetness. It’s too pat.

Oh, thank you. You woke up drenched in sweat, calling out Abe’s name. Yeah. They’re one of those damn nightmares.

Do you wanna talk about it?

Yeah.

I was down at the docks and I found. And we, we were, we were face to face. I was talking to him and before I could call Paulina to tell him that he was okay, he was gone. And I, I couldn’t stop cock. I tried it. I, uh, I couldn’t stop on my eye.

No wonder the dream was so upsetting for you. Paulina trusted that Steve and I were gonna find him, and I let her down.

Let him down.

So, did you hear me? What are you doing with that paper? I was, I was getting rid of it before you woke up. Why? Because I didn’t want you to get upset. Why am upset now? I don’t like being handled. Okay. I’ll tell you something terrible happened down at the docks. A local man who had gone missing was found in the water.

He drown? Yes. Yes. Well, at least now his poor family can have closure for weeks. They had been looking for him. Well, I, I feel sorry for them. And for him, but I’m not falling apart. And now I’d like to read that story for myself.

Lasagna from the bistro, from Maggie and Victor, Kiki. How nice we can have it for dinner with the green beans that Julie brought over.

What, just, uh, don’t you think it’s maybe time for you to take a shower and get dressed? Not yet, darling. Not right now. Right now I getting dressed reminds me of just wanting to look my best for my sweet husband, and without him here I. No, I just, I just need to sit here right now. Come, come sit with me.

Sit with me.

No. Excuse me. I’m sorry, Abe. I’m putting my foot down. The details are just too upsetting and the doctor said that we have to keep your stress levels low, you know, to a minimum, so we avoid another seizure. I feel fine. Well, you felt fine before the last one, didn’t you? You know, you’re not the only one going through this.

You know, I’m, I’m, I’m scared. I’m scared all the time.

I, I’m sorry. I, I, I wasn’t thinking, I, I, I know this is, this isn’t easy for you. I, I just can’t lose you. Okay. I get it. I get it. I’m, I’m sorry. Then, then I have to go to work and I have to leave you at home alone. Look, I feel, I feel fine. You, you don’t have to worry about me. Okay. Well, I, I better go and get ready now.

Get ready to go to work.

And believe me, darling, I’m doing this for you. This is what’s best for you.

You are being too hard on yourself. You and Steve did everything you could to find a, obviously we didn’t do enough. Right?

You know what the worst part is?

We gave Pauline hope. We told her, it just doesn’t make any sense how he could have got from wherever he was all the way down to the dock without somebody recognizing him and calling the cops. Don’t you believe that? I still believe that. I don’t know how he could have done it or why he fell in the water, but then you got the hospital bracelet.

His name’s on it. The blood. Most important. You have an eyewitness, the only person who saw him these last two weeks. Finally, somebody sees Abe. And what happens the next minute he falls off the dock and drowns in the river.

So you, you got to see Joseph Carter? I did. Uh, I cannot tell you how wonderful it was just to hold my babies and my arms without a prison matron. Just watching me like a hawk. Yeah. They’re with my mom now. We do wish we could have brought them, but obviously they’re, they’re too young to deal with all this.

Right. But we, we know how much they left their grandpa. Yeah. And we did tell them what happened, but they didn’t seem to understand, which is a, a good thing for now.

They seem to be starting fireworks early.

Oh my God. 4th of July. It’s, it’s your anniversary.

What’s wrong? Are you guys fighting? No. No. Theo No we’re not. You’ve given everything that’s been thrown at us this year. I think, uh, we’re doing pretty damn well. So why did you both seem so we’re gonna say it was your anniversary cause we decided that we’re not gonna celebrate this year. Because of Dad Lonnie.

That is the reason why you should celebrate, you know how happy he was about you and Eli, how, how he love that you two got married and how he was over the moon when the babies were born. I know, I know Theo, but to have champagne and a fancy dinner without him there, I can’t do it. I’m sorry. I can’t do it.

I’m sorry, Lonnie, I didn’t mean to upset you. Come here. Yeah. I think we better our head over to Pauline is You wanna come with us? No, I’ll, um, I’ll come over later. I think she’s gonna wanna spend some time alone with you. Yeah. And there’s something I have to do. What do you mean to Pat? Well, first of all, do you really think Abe was physically capable of getting outta the hospital on his own?

At the time I didn’t think so, but I suppose it’s possible. Okay. Well, S AA did wander off on his own. Salem PD puts out an a p b, and for weeks the cops and a whole army of volunteers search for one of the best known men in the city. And no one reports seeing anyone they even think might have been a and one day, weeks later.

The first person to lay eyes on Ave sees him at the exact moment. He walks into the water and drowns, and then the case is closed, all tied up with the ribbon. Something doesn’t add up, baby.

So you’re saying that if egg was so confused and so out of it, he just, he just walked off a dock into the river then how did he survive the weeks before that? No, he was, uh, not only suffering from Amnesia, he was recovering from a head injury. So what did he negotiate the streets on his own. Would you still think that it was Colin Bedford that did it?

I know maybe he kidnapped Abe, I don’t know. But he was in jail most of the time. Abe was missing if someone wasn’t looking after Abe. I don’t understand how he didn’t end up in social services. And thanks to Abe Salem is very proactive in helping the homeless. You know, you’re really, you really kind of scaring me now.

Oh, I’ll get in.

Theo. Theo, I’m so glad you came over. Oh, Steve, look. Look at Theo. Hey man. Okay. I’m so sorry.

This is, uh, this is a tough day. I, I am sorry that, uh, John and I didn’t come through for your dad and for you. You did your best. I just came to say thank you for the donation you made in my dad’s name to the autism charity. Well, we, we know how important that charity was to your dad. We were happy to do it.

And we really loved your dad, and we love you, and we are here for you.

Well, your executives and your long lunch breaks. Mm-hmm. How you feeling? I tell you, I feel a lot better when I get these bullet fragments outta me. Yeah. How you doing these days?

Hey, hey look, I’m not trying to pry, I’m asking as a friend who’s friend. Mine are Romans. Both of you. I don’t want either one of you to get hurt.

What were you just, now

I was thinking of the moment that I found out I wasn’t the person I thought I was. And how my whole life that I knew I changed in an instant

and there was Abe, one thing in my life was still the same, and it was my friendship with Abraham.

Dammit, doc, I just wish that I could have been as good a friend to him as he’s always had been to me. You were, you were. He always knew that about you. Dammit, doc. I was so damn sure that we were gonna find him. I, I was so damn sure that someone had taken him for whatever reason, they were holding him against his will and, and,

And I was so damn wrong.

Well, I’m off to work now.

I Are you still mad at me? No, not mad. I just, uh, I just get a bit lonely when you’re gone. Oh, well I thought you were catching up on body and Soul. I am, but it would be nice to have people who talk back, you know, I was thinking, couldn’t feel come over and hang out for a while. Oh, I forgot to tell you, uh, Theo had to travel back to South Africa.

What? My son left town without saying goodbye. Well, he stopped by on his way to the airport, but you were resting and I didn’t wanna disturb you, but I would’ve wanted to say goodbye. You should have woken me up. I, I know. I, I, I, you’re right. I, I, I’m sorry. What? What, what about your daughter? Huh? Chanel. My stepdaughter, couldn’t she come by and see me?

I just keep thinking of the heartache got brought to Abraham with my secrets and lies. Mama, you more than made up for whatever heartache you caused him by all the love and support you gave him. He was so crazy about you.

Look at that be.

This is delicious. I know things are hard right now, Theo, but you have to remember to eat. I’ll try. And you know what? If you ever are feeling alone or you wanna talk to somebody, we’re here for you. I know that. Thank you. But I think I’m gonna be okay, especially now that my sister’s here. Mama, you’re not going to believe this.

No, but. What is it now of a, let me guess, a cactus. Well, Eli does say I can be a bit prickly if I haven’t had my morning coffee. Mommy.

Oh. Hi, mama. I’m home. My baby girl, my darling, my precious girl.

Come on, man. What’s the matter with you? What? What, honey? What? I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. From the moment I woke up here, all I’ve been thinking about and talking about is myself, and I know you’re going through this too, sweetheart. It’s hitting me hard too. It doesn’t mean that you can’t talk to me about how you’re feeling.

Look, the only way that we’re going to get through this, and I I, I mean beyond the two of us way, we’re all going to get through this is talk about our feelings, share our feelings. In fact, I think I have an idea.

Paulina must have been thrilled to see Lonnie. God bless Eli for bringing her home. It’s just a furlough. Well, I think it’s really important that your whole family is together for the funeral. Yeah.

When my mom died, I was able to say bye to her, but. My dad, he just, he just went away. He just disappeared and then drowned. I just, I, it, it doesn’t make sense to me. I,

I am so grateful that you’re here, Lonnie. I’m so very, very grateful, even if it is for such a terrible, sad reason. Yeah, I’m grateful too. I am beyond grateful to be free, even if it is for a short time so that I can be here with my mama and my sister and my brother. Thing is, um, some part of me just, it just doesn’t, uh, just don’t feel that.

Dad is really gone. Mm-hmm. It’s so surreal. Yes, it is. It is. And oh, the way it happened. Oh Lord Lonnie, it just doesn’t make sense to me. Maybe, I suppose partly because we, we didn’t get to say goodbye to him. Never got to see him touch him,

and how the hell are we supposed to have a proper home going when we don’t have a body?

Well, Chanel was intending to come over to visit with her. Step, pop, pop, step, pop, pop. Oh yeah. That’s a little, uh, pet name that she has for you. You love it when she calls you that and yet I cringe on you. Say it anyway. As I was just getting ready to say, Chanel has just been so swamped at the bakery, so, so another day is staring at the walls.

What, how luckily for you body and soul is fitting to get better. You’re about to meet Lorna. She’s back Who? That’s Lorna. Lorna is just one of the great soap bitches of all times. And trust me when I tell you, you gonna love to hate her. Check it out.

I know that it would help us all to accept what happened, but given a case like this, there’s just no telling when or. Even if his body will ever be found and yet, and yet what? Sweetheart? They didn’t waste any time declaring him dead, did they? Even though there’s no evidence to prove it for a fact.

Lonnie, no, Eli. I wanna see that evidence for myself. I wanna go down to the station. That’s against policy Mia, but you know, given the circumstances, I’m sure Ray wouldn’t, he wouldn’t mind and I don’t care if he would mind. Can we go now? Oh, wait a minute, darling. Lanie you. You’re out of prison today. It’s your anniversary.

You shouldn’t be spending at a police station, especially since nothing you find down there at that police station will bring a back to us. Mama. I have to see that evidence for myself. Or I will never sleep again. Paulina, look, when she gets like this, you just got I know. I know. There’s no changing her mind.

Tell me something. I don’t know. Thank you.

We’ll be back as soon as we can. Well, I’m gonna walk out with you. I need to head back over to the baby. You call me if you need anything. Okay? You gonna be all right alone. I think I should get used to it, don’t you? Hey, you too. I’m just about to call you. Look who’s here. Oh. Oh my goodness. Oh, good to see you.

I’m so sorry about your dad. Thank you. Good to see you kiddo. Be on. Sorry. I know how hard you work to find him. And you too. I’m very grateful. Dad was a good man. He one of the best. We loved him a lot. He knew that. He used to say. He used to say, okay. Do you wanna talk about this? No, actually, um, I think I should get going now.

Are you sure? You’re all right. Lonnie’s. Someone furlough. I’ll be fine. Lonnie’s here. Please, please give her a love and, and send her love to Paulina as well. Tell her to call us if there’s anything we can do. I will. It was nice to see you all again. Yeah, you too Sweet. Take kid. Come back anytime. Okay.

Goodness. Poor kid.

Damnit. Should have found him. You should have found him. We should have found him. You too are blaming yourselves entirely too much for this. You did everything you could. You searched and searched. Come on. You left no stone unturned. You did your very best. And I’m sure if were here, He would say the same thing.

It’s burned.

So that’s Lorna. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Like I said, one of the greatest soaper bitches of all time, so large than life, so over the top. So outrageous that Susan Lucci and Heather Lockney are fired, their agents. Oh. Oh, okay. I wish I could sit here and watch with you five more minutes, but then I’ll be late for work.

Happy watching. Thanks. Oh, oh, oh. When I come home, I’m gonna need to hear all about your favorite cat fight.

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s the most unstoppable of.

You okay?

Yeah,

it’s just, it’s really weird being back here. So many memories.

Mainly meeting my new partner. And falling in love with him, and him falling even more in love with you. Okay. And, uh, they got married. Mm-hmm. And they lived happily ever after. Okay. Okay. Fine. With a few challenges, but nothing that they couldn’t handle. Mm. Because they were tough. So tough. And so enough,

uh, you know, doc, you’re right. Steve and I, we busted our ass. We did our damnedest to find Abe. You know what I’m thinking? I’m thinking that maybe I’m just blaming myself because it’s a hell of a lot easier than accepting the fact that he’s gone. Yeah. It’s the same for me. Yeah. Hey, did I tell you I had another dream about him this morning?

I dreamt that I found him down on the docks, but he just walked away from me. Didn’t go in the water. He just walked away from me. You didn’t tell me that. I thought I did. Why don’t you tell me about the end of the dream, what, whatever details you can remember.

I was getting on my phone to call Paulina and

I hear Abe say that he was sorry that he couldn’t stay. I said, what do you mean by that? And he just said, goodbye, old friend. And he turned around and he walked off into the fog and I kept calling on him and he was gone.

What is it?

I was thinking that maybe just, maybe this is not really about John’s guilt, the dream. I mean, maybe it’s about. John’s something that, there’s something wrong here. That’s what I’ve been saying. Abe was injured, he had amnesia. How did he survive all those weeks? With no one seeing him looking after him.

Yeah. And this, this witness, the one and only person to see him is the one who watches him go in the water. That means eight had to get from wherever he was all the way down to the dock without anyone seeing him. We need to get back to work.

This is a lab report matching the blood from the pylon to AIDS blood sample that was on record at the hospital. D. Exact match. Exact match. Hmm.

When I first came to Salem, I just, I knew I was my biological father and I was determined to prove it. My mom said, you two weren’t together very long. She didn’t even tell me how you guys met. Well, she almost crashed into my car on her way to singing Friend’s Wedding Dr. Marlena Evans, they went to college together.

Yeah,

she, um, she doesn’t know about you either, Bonnie, didn’t you, you ever wonder who your father was? Of course I did. Probably thought he was some dent.

When your mother left Hannah,

I had no idea she was pregnant.

How could she not tell me I had a daughter?

I was wrong about the d n. But Abe, Abe is your father in every way that counts.

What else is in there? Here’s a statement from Jerry Prentice. He saw your dad go in the water.

What’s this? It looks like a professional photo. Yeah, detective Hunter dug that up. Turns out Jerry Prentice is an actor.

Oh, well that’s a little better.

You wanted to see me, Ms. DeLorean?

It’s about time you got here. I have a job for you.

What kind of job?

I need someone who could pretend to be the true and rightful heir to the DeLorean fortune, and that is where you come in.

Abe: Theo?

Paulina: Oh, Nurse King, what?

Update written by Joseph

Nicole tells Eric that she knows it must have been difficult for him to be in the hospital with her, so she wants him to know it means a lot. Eric is glad he could be there for her as they hug. They get close until Eric decides he should go get her food because she’s looking pale and quickly exits the room.

Leo enters the wine cellar in the DiMera Tunnels and finds EJ and Kristen tied up. EJ never thought he’d say thank God that Leo’s here. Leo questions what is going on here. Kristen and EJ explain that Megan did this to them and have held them captive for weeks. Leo talks about how he knew Megan was up to something, so he followed her here. Leo calls it an underground bondage dungeon while Kristen assures that’s not what this is. Leo asks why Megan did this to them. EJ starts to reveal that they found out what Megan was planning, but then he begins suffering memory loss from the injection and says that he doesn’t remember.

Megan arrives at the Bistro and welcomes everyone. Megan apologizes for the delay and says that to make this a really special night, she brought a bottle of Stefano’s favorite champagne and it took a little longer than expected but she’s here now. Megan is so glad they are all here too because there is nothing in this world more important than family. Megan adds that she’s so grateful that they have all welcomed her back. Megan is thrilled to host this gathering for her newfound brother and his gorgeous bride to be. Megan says she just knows that Stefano is smiling down on them now, happy to see them all together again. Megan admits that she knows they have their differences but says they overcome them because that’s what families do. Chad mutters to Stephanie that Megan’s an assassin and that’s kind of hard to overcome. Megan talks about all the lost years they could’ve spent together but says she looks forward to the many happy years to come. Megan calls for everyone to grab a glass of champagne to toast the couple. Harris Michaels then arrives. Megan pretends to be shocked and asks what the hell he’s doing there. Harris then pulls his gun out, scaring everyone in the room.

Li exits Dr. Rolf’s lab with Harris Michaels’ phone which rings as Kate calls. Li remarks to himself that he’s sorry to Kate because Harris is unavailable as he’s under new management and he and Megan have already given him his new assignment to eliminate Stefan DiMera.

Harris says he’s sorry to interrupt the festivities and orders everyone to move to one side of the room. Chad questions what he’s doing. Harris responds that he’s here to eliminate a threat which Chad questions. Megan claims that she’s the threat and that Harris is there to kill her.

Eric brings Nicole her food and says he’s looking out for her and the baby. Nicole remarks that if only the baby’s father was that attentive. Nicole appreciates Eric’s help but argues that EJ should be the one doing this instead of being on some secret business trip where he can’t even answer his phone. Eric says he’s sure EJ has his reasons. Nicole complains that they won’t be good enough as it’s like he’s forgotten what’s important. Nicole remarks that the baby isn’t even born yet and EJ has already abandoned them.

Leo questions EJ not remembering. EJ tries to think but says it’s like the memory evaporated from his brain. EJ asks what Kristen thinks. Kristen responds that she thinks Megan injected them with something to make them forget her plan. Kristen states that she has no idea about any of it. Leo says he may have an idea and asks if it has something to do with his son Dimitri. Leo brings up Dimitri proposing to Gwen and thinking that he and Megan have an ulterior motive. Leo asks if any of that rings a bell. Kristen says it does sound familiar.

Li walks through the town square and stands outside the Bistro. Li states that it’s all happening upstairs and that soon, Stefan will be dead and he’ll be there to pick up the pieces with Gabi. Rafe then approaches Li and questions what he’s doing there.

Megan argues that Harris wants revenge for everything she did to him and even came to her house to threaten her. Dimitri questions why she didn’t tell him. Megan claims that she thought he was all talk and didn’t think he was this deranged. Harris says that’s enough. Dimitri tells Harris that if he wants to hurt his mother, he’ll have to get through him first. Megan tells Dimitri to stay out of this. Harris tells them to relax as he’s not there to kill either one of them. Harris then announces he’s here to kill Stefan. Gabi questions that while Stefan says he doesn’t understand as Harris doesn’t even know him. Harris assures Stefan that it’s nothing personal and he’s just following orders. Stefan asks who’s orders. Johnny whispers to Wendy that they can’t just watch him do this. Wendy tries to call the police but Harris fires a shot and orders her to drop it. Harris declares that the next person he sees with a phone will not get a warning. Harris says this can go one of two ways, everybody does as their told and survive or he can take out as many people as he has to in order to complete his mission. Stefan questions how he is a threat to Harris. Gabi asks who would consider Stefan a threat and argues that it has to be EJ, who is conveniently not at the party and has been plotting against him the entire time. Stefan asks Harris if it’s true that EJ hired him and demands an answer. Harris responds that if he must know, it wasn’t EJ. Stefan asks who he is working for then. Harris then announces the man who wants Stefan dead is Li Shin.

Li tells Rafe that he didn’t hear him sneaking up on him. Rafe says he’s just going to his sister’s engagement party. Li points out that he’s a little late. Rafe says things have been hectic at the police station. Li says he’s sorry to hear about Abe. Rafe points out that Li still hasn’t answered his question and asks what he’s doing lurking about. Li argues that he’s not lurking and was just passing through. Rafe notes that Li seems a little nervous to be just passing through. Rafe guesses that Li was thinking about going up there, crashing the party, and creating a scene. Li then tells Rafe that he’s right.

Leo asks Kristen why Megan and Dimitri are using Gwen. Kristen complains that she doesn’t remember. Leo urges her to want to help Gwen. EJ thinks Megan’s plan is a lot more sinister and high stakes, like it’s life and death. Leo asks if he’s saying Gwen is in danger. EJ feels like someone else is the main target, but he doesn’t know who and it’s just a gut feeling. Leo calls them useless. Kristen points out that he still hasn’t untied them. Leo suggests she ask nicely. Kristen yells at him to do it now.

Nicole apologizes to Eric as she’s sure the last thing he wants to hear is her complaining about EJ. Eric says it’s okay as she has every right to. Nicole tells Eric that he doesn’t have to stay and shouldn’t feel obligated to. Eric says he doesn’t and feels that Nicole shouldn’t be alone right now. Nicole repeats that the cramps were nothing and reminds him that Tripp said she and the baby are fine. Nicole adds that Harold is there if she needs anything. Eric asks if she’s sure. Nicole says she is and thanks him again. Nicole tells him that she’s grateful that she can still count on him. They hug and this time they end up kissing. Eric stops and says they can’t do this, reminding her that he’s with Sloan and she’s with EJ. Nicole asks where EJ is then. Nicole apologizes and says she just felt that old pull between them and the old feelings of being abandoned and worthless. Eric argues that she shouldn’t feel either and calls EJ a jackass for doing this to her. Eric brings up if the baby was his but then apologizes and says that’s not helpful. Nicole responds that it’s okay and that Eric would’ve been the perfect father. Nicole adds that he still can be if things work out with him and Sloan. Eric thanks her for saying that. Nicole calls it the truth. Nicole states that she has some hard truths to face with EJ if she ever sees him again. Nicole doesn’t know if she can forgive EJ for disappearing when she needed him the most. EJ and Kristen then emerge from the tunnels, shocking Nicole.

Gabi questions Harris saying that Li put him up to this. Harris asks if that’s so hard to believe as Li apparently still has something for her. Gabi questions thinking that killing Stefan is the way to win back her love. Harris thinks it’s more of if he can’t have her, no one can. Megan says in her head that Dr. Rolf programmed Harris to think he’s working solely for Li, just as she planned. Wendy questions believing Harris and argues that her brother would never hire someone to kill Stefan because he’s not a murderer. Stefan brings up that Li did pull the plug on him while he was in a coma. Wendy calls that different and a mistake, arguing that a split second decision is different than plotting to murder someone in cold blood. Wendy argues that Gabi knows that’s not Li but Gabi agrees with Stefan that Li has a history of trying to eliminate his competition by any means necessary. Wendy insists that Li accepted that Gabi moved on and he didn’t even fight the divorce. Johnny reminds Wendy that Li didn’t want her to come to the party. Wendy thinks that was just about being loyal to him. Johnny feels he didn’t want her to get caught in the crossfire.

Rafe tells Li to stay away from the party because he’s caused Gabi enough pain already. Li says he just ran in to Wendy and Johnny as they were heading in and then ran in to Gabi and Stefan. Li states that he tried to be happy for them but he can’t get out of his head what could’ve been because he loved Gabi so much and still does. Rafe understands because he’s been in a similar situation but tells Li that what he and Gabi had before is over, so he needs to accept that. Li responds that he can’t just will away feelings. Li argues that even now, knowing how happy Gabi and Stefan are just breaks his heart.

Stefan questions Harris about this being true. Harris asks why he would lie. Chad questions what happened to turning his life around and wanting redemption for everything he did. Chad then guesses that this isn’t Harris and that he’s brainwashed again but this time by Li. Gabi agrees since Li brainwashed Stefan in to forgetting that he loved her and now Harris in to being his assassin. Dimitri asks Gwen who hasn’t been brainwashed in this town. Gwen whispers that it’s kind of a thing here. Harris yells at everyone to shut up. Harris says he doesn’t know what they are talking about and only knows that he has orders from Li to kill Stefan and it’s about that time.

Nicole questions EJ being here. EJ kisses her and hugs her. Nicole asks when he got back in town. EJ reveals that he never left as Megan locked him in the tunnels. Kristen points out that she locked both of them in there. Nicole questions why she would do that. EJ responds that they don’t know but they are pretty sure that Megan gave them something that is affecting their memory. Nicole asks how they escaped. Kristen reveals that Leo Stark found them and set them free. Eric questions what Leo was doing down there. Kristen says she has no idea as she doesn’t remember.

Leo remains in the wine cellar and argues that Megan must be using this as her base of operations, so there has to be something down here. Leo searches the wine cellar and finds a bottle of wine but tells himself to focus as he has to find proof that Dimitri is up to no good since that’s the only way to stop Gwen from getting hurt.

Chad pleads with Harris to stop and not do this. Harris responds that orders are orders. Stephanie argues that he doesn’t have to follow them and urges him to fight whatever Li did to him. Chad tells Harris not to listen to Li’s voice in his head and listen to his own because deep down, he knows this is wrong. Stephanie reminds Harris of when he set the bomb off at her apartment in Seattle and how he felt terrible after because of what Megan did to him. Megan tells her not to remind the man with the gun how much he hates her. Gabi pleads with Harris not to let Li do this and argues that he’s not a murderer. Gwen points out that he technically is as she’s read his case and there were several incidents. Gabi tells Gwen that she’s not helping, so she apologizes. Gabi suggests Harris call Li, so that she can talk him out of this.

Li thanks Rafe and admits that he would’ve just humiliated himself at Gabi and Stefan’s party, so he’s glad that Rafe stopped him. Rafe says he didn’t do it for him. Li says either way, he helped him so he appreciates it. Li promises that he is now heading straight home. Li tells Rafe to give his congratulations to the happy couple. Rafe says goodnight and walks away. Li hopes by the time Rafe gets up there, it will be too late and the job will have been completed.

Gabi pleads with Harris to let her call Li. Wendy agrees that they can make Li see what a mistake this is. Harris orders Gabi to drop the phone, so she does. Gabi cries that she didn’t want to hurt Li but her heart belongs to Stefan who is the only person who ever understood her and loved her. Gabi declares that if he shoots Stefan, he has to shoot her too because she can’t live without him. Harris responds that he’s sorry but it has to be done. Rafe then bursts in with his gun and orders Harris to drop the gun. When Harris turns to face Rafe, Gabi jumps on his back. They struggle until Harris fires a shot from his gun, shooting Megan. Dimitri rushes to her side. Gabi then knees Harris in the groin, dropping him to the ground. Gabi takes his gun and hands it to Stefan. Dimitri worries about Megan’s loss of blood as she begins to pass out. Gwen says she’s going to get help and rushes out.

Li returns home and wonders why he hasn’t heard from Megan since Stefan should be dead by now. Li imagines Gabi coming to tell him that Harris killed Stefan and them getting back together.

Rafe and Chad handcuff Harris to a chair as Harris complains that he has a job to do. Gabi informs Rafe that Harris said Li ordered him to kill Stefan. Chad adds that he suspects Li brainwashed him. Rafe mentions seeing Li outside and he was staring up here. Rafe thought Li was coming to make a fool of himself but obviously it was much worse. Gwen returns and says the paramedics are on their way. Gabi encourages Dimitri not to give up hope as Megan will soon get the help she needs. Johnny checks on Wendy, who is holding back tears. Johnny then decides to get her out of there. Stefan questions what Gabi was thinking by going after Harris like that. Gabi argues that she was saving his life. Stefan thanks her but asks her to never do something that reckless again. Gabi says she had to stop him because she couldn’t lose Stefan again. Stefan tells her it’s okay now and hugs her. Stefan states that Li tried to keep them apart again but failed again as nothing can keep them apart. Stefan declares that Li will pay for this and so will everyone else who helped him out.

Nicole questions EJ and Kristen being held prisoner by Megan this whole time. EJ calls Megan an evil, sadistic bitch. Nicole brings up EJ texting her but EJ says he wishes he could, so it must have been Megan using his phone. Nicole admits that explains why he didn’t answer her calls. Nicole thought EJ abandoned her and the baby. EJ assures that he will never abandon her as she and the baby mean everything to him. EJ asks Nicole about her meeting with the specialist. Nicole confirms that she thinks she can carry the baby to term. EJ hugs her and calls it wonderful news. EJ declares that after all these years, they are finally going to have a child together. EJ and Nicole kiss as Eric watches on.

Eric goes home and sits on his bed, thinking back to kissing Nicole.

EJ joins Nicole in their bedroom and says he feels better after a shower. Nicole wants a doctor to take a look at EJ since Megan’s drugs could have side effects. EJ says they will, but first he wants to dress the elephant in the room in Eric. EJ questions what Eric was doing there. Nicole assures that he came over for a very good reason and they will talk about that, just not now. Nicole calls it a blessing in disguise because she got some cramping and Eric took her to the hospital but everything is fine. Nicole admits that Eric wanted to stay because EJ wasn’t around. EJ goes over how he disappeared, Nicole thought the worst of him and turned to Eric. Nicole argues that’s not how it went and that EJ knows how she feels about him. EJ questions if he does, pointing out that a few weeks ago, he told her that he loved her and she hasn’t said it back. Nicole says she knows and she’s sorry. Nicole adds that when she thinks about how Megan could have killed him, she realized that she does love him. Nicole comments that EJ looks skeptical. EJ feels he might have talked her in to saying that or pressured her. Nicole assures that he didn’t and that she said it because she feels it. Nicole declares that he is the father of her child and the man that she wants to be with as they kiss.

Kristen makes a phone call to report a kidnapping of herself and EJ by Megan. Kristen then says she doesn’t remember how it happened and asks why she would joke about something so serious. Kristen tells them to hold on as she needs to get with EJ and goes to find him. Leo then emerges from the tunnels with a bottle of wine and says so much for being Gwen’s hero. Leo wishes that EJ and Kristen could remember what Megan and Dimitri are up to, so he could tell Gwen before it’s too late and then she would dump Dimitri and never look back.

Gwen joins Dimitri at the hospital and asks how Megan is. Dimitri says they got her stable in the ambulance and then rushed her right in to surgery. Dimitri worries that she looked so pale and fragile. Gwen reminds him that Megan cheated death once, so she’s going to do it again. Dimitri thanks her for her support. Dimitri says he understands if she wants to get home but Gwen declares that she’s not going anywhere as she’s staying here. Dimitri then hugs Gwen.

Harris tells Chad that he has to let him go. Chad says that’s not going to happen as he promised Rafe that he would look after him until backup arrived. Stephanie points out that a squad car just pulled up, so the police should be there any minute. Harris argues that he has a mission to complete. Chad tells Harris that the mission is over and he failed. Stephanie asks if it was Dr. Rolf’s handy work. Chad believes so. Stephanie says that Harris can’t catch a break as first he was brainwashed by Megan and now Li Shin.

Johnny and Wendy sit together in the town square. Wendy can’t believe Li did something so crazy. Johnny talks about losing Chanel to Allie and how he almost did something very underhanded. Wendy points out that he didn’t hire a Navy SEAL to kill Allie because he’s not a criminal or a heartless bastard with no conscience. Wendy declares that there is no excuse for the horrible, unforgiving thing that her brother did and now he’s going to have to face the consequences.

Gabi shows up at Li’s door like he imagined. Li asks what she’s doing there and not at her engagement party. Gabi explains that she was until Harris Michaels showed up with a gun to kill Stefan. Li pretends to be shocked and says he’s so sorry. Li says poor Stefan, but Stefan then arrives and tells Li not to bury him just yet. Li says thank God he’s okay but Stefan tells Li to drop the act. Li asks what he means. Rafe then arrives and arrests Li for the attempted murder of Stefan DiMera.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Being at the hospital with me must have been difficult, but it, it meant a lot to me. I’m glad I could be there. Not as glad as I am.

Erica, you know, I should, I should go get that food for you. You’re to look a little pal.

What the hell have I walked in on? Oh, Leo Star. I never thought I’d say this, but thank God you are here. Well, I don’t mean to kink shame, but what is going on here? Oh, well, you know, playing cops and robbers can get a little outta hand, seriously. Of, of course not you, imbecile. Our sister, Megan did this to us.

She’s held US cap down here for weeks, weeks. Oh my gosh. I knew it. I knew it. You knew? Well, I knew she was up to something, so I followed her here. Lady Whistleblower can always sniff out a good story, and you’d be surprised how more often than not my nose leads me to uncovering an underground bondage dungeon just like yours.

Oh god. All right. This isn’t a bondage dungeon, huh? Well, I should hope not. It’s not usually siblings. I find all tied up together. So why did Megan do this to you? Because we found out that she was planning on

well out with it. Handsome planning on what? Uh,

I don’t, I don’t remember.

Hey, where is the host? I mean, people are starting to get a little restless Honored. Guests welcome. Now please accept my apologies for the delay. In order to make this a really special night tonight, I had to bring a bottle of my father’s very favorite champagne. Just took me a little longer to get it than I expected, but I’m here now and I’m so glad that you are all here too.

Because there is nothing in this world more important than family is there. I am so grateful that you have all welcomed me back into your bosom,

and I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to host this lovely gathering for my newfound brother and his gorgeous bride to be. And I just know that father is smiling down on us now. Happy to see us all together again. Well, at least most of us. Yeah, very few of us. And yes, I know that we have our differences, but we overcome them, don’t we?

That’s what families do. Well, normal family is like yours. My sister Megan, she’s an assassin. Thomas Banks had to kill us. So all those things are a little bit hard to overcome. Mm-hmm. I’m so sorry for all of the lost years that we could have spent together, but I look forward to the many, many happy years to come.

And now I want everyone to grab a glass of champagne so we can toast the happy couple, the lovely Gabriela and my charming brother Stephan. Oh my God. Harris Michaels, what the hell are you doing here?

Sorry, Kate. Commander Michaels is in accepting calls at this time. He’s under new management and Megan and Ivory, give him his first assignment. Eliminate Stephan Demara.

Sorry to interrupt the festivities, but I’m gonna need everyone to move to that side of the room right now. No sudden movements. Let’s go. I’d hate for my friend here cause I have to start barking orders. Michaels, what are you doing? I’m here to eliminate a threat. What threat? Oh my God, don’t you see? I’m the threat.

He’s here to kill me.

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

This looks delicious. Well, Harold, he did most of the work, but for the record, I did toast the toast. Oh, really? Mm-hmm. I was just gonna say how toasty the toast looks. I think you found your new calling. You know what? Drink some tea. Stay hydrated. The doctor’s orders. Okay.

Oh yeah. It’s the spot. It’s even worth all your nagging. I’m looking out for you and the baby. Yeah, only the baby’s father was so attentive. Eric, I, I, I really do appreciate your help, but EJ should be the one doing this instead of being on some secret business trip where he couldn’t even be bothered to answer his phone.

Well, I’m sure he has his reasons. Well, they’re not gonna be good enough. It’s like he’s forgotten what’s important. This baby isn’t even born yet. He’s already abandoned us.

You don’t remember? Come on. This isn’t like your locker combination, Sean, but let me think. Come on, come on, come on, come on. Ah, it’s like the memory is evaporated from my brain. I, I know something should be there, but it’s not. I, I, I dunno. What do you think? Hm? What do you think? What do I think? Hm. Um, oh, I, I think that Megan injected us with something.

She’d make us forget, forget what her plan. Uh, uh, probably, um, the thing is, is that I have no idea what, uh, what, you know, what? I, I don’t even, I don’t know any of this. I might have a vague idea. Does it have something to do with her son, Dimitri? What about it? Well, he proposed to my best friend Gwen, but I think he and mommy dearest have an ulterior motive.

Does any of that ring a bell? Oh, actually, I. It does sound familiar.

It’s all happening right upstairs. Soon Stefan will be dead. And I’ll be there to pick up the pieces for Gabby Lee.

What doing here?

Can’t you see? This man wants revenge for everything that I did to him. He even came to my house a couple of weeks ago and threatened me. Mother, why didn’t you tell me? I, I thought he was all talk that it was just a hollow threat. I didn’t realize that he was this terrain enough. No, Michaels. You wanna hurt my mother?

You’re gonna go through me first. No, Dimitri, stay outta this. Relax. I’m not here to kill either one of you. Oh, thank God. I’m here to kill Stephan.

You’re here to kill Stephan. Yeah, I don’t understand. You don’t even know me. I assure you, Mr. Damara, there’s nothing personal. I’m just following orders. Whose orders?

I can’t. Just watch him do this. We’ll call the police.

Drop it. I’m sorry.

Next person I see with the phone will not get a warning. Is that understood?

This can go one of two ways. Everybody can do as they’re told and survive the night, or I can take out as many people as I have to to complete my mission. Okay. You said earlier you were eliminating a threat. How am I a threat to you? Isn’t it obvious, Stephan? I mean, who would consider you a threat?

No. Yeah. It has to be EJ who, who’s conveniently not at this party, who’s been plotting against you this entire time, who would be crazy enough to hire this lunatic to take you out. Is that true? Did my brother hire you? Answer me, dammit.

Fine. If you must know

it wasn’t ej I. And who, who are you working for?

The man who wants you dead is Lee Chen. What? What?

I didn’t hear you sneak up on me. Oh, I’m not sneaking up on anyone. I’m just trying to go to my sister’s engagement party. Running a little late, aren’t you? Yeah. Well, things have been a little hectic down at the station. Of course, I heard about Mayor Carver. I’m so sorry. Uh, you still haven’t answered to my question.

What are you doing lurking about? No one’s lurking, but I was just, uh, passing through. Yeah. Seemed a little nervous to be just passing through. I’m not, you were thinking about going up there. Weren’t you crashing the party, creating a scene?

Fine. You got me. Commissioner Guilty’s charged.

Okay. Okay. I was right. Lady. Whistleblower strikes again. Megan and her son aren’t just using Gwen, but why? I, I, I don’t remember. Damn it. Woman. What you think? Don’t get your hands off of you. Little creep. Listen, you’re friends with Gwen too, don’t you wanna help her? Something tells me that my sister’s plan is a lot more sinister than manipulating your friend.

I, I feel like it’s more high stakes, like it’s life or death. Are you saying Gwen is in danger? I feel like someone else is the main target. Like who? I don’t know. It’s just a gut feeling. Oh my God, you two are useless. Oh no. You know who is useless. You found us ages ago and you still haven’t UNT yet. It would help if you asked nicely unless you wanna fully commit to your non day plume lady.

I suggest you untie us now. I even say, please, no. Hey,

I’m sorry. I am sure the last thing you wanna hear is me complaining about ej. It’s okay. I mean, you have every right to be angry. Look, you, you, you should go. Don’t feel obligated to stay it. I don’t feel obligated. And you know what? You shouldn’t be alone right now. No, I, I told you the cramps turned out to be nothing trip.

And the ob g y n said that I’m fine. And so is the baby besides Harold’s here if I need anything. Are you sure? I’m sure.

All right. Okay, thanks. Listen, thanks again. I, I am grateful. That I can still count on You always.

I can’t do this. I’m with ej.

Hi. Yeah. Well then where is he?

I’m sorry, I, I’m sorry. I just, I felt that old pool between us and those old feelings of being abandoned and worthless. Okay. You shouldn’t feel either. And he jay’s a jackass for doing this to you. And if that baby were mine,

I’m sorry. That’s not helpful.

That’s okay. You would’ve been the perfect father

and you still can be if things work out with you. And Sloane,

thank you for saying that. It’s the truth.

Speaking of which, I have some hard truths to face with EJ if I ever see him again. That is, And if I do or when I do, I don’t know if I can forgive him for this disappearing when I need him the most. I am gonna kill when I right there. Oh, Nicole. Thank God, ej,

we put you up to this. Is that so hard to believe? Apparently the guy still has something for you. And, and that maniac thinks that killing my fiance is the way to win bad my love. I believe it’s more of a, if I can’t have her then good job. Ralph Harris is convinced he’s working solely for Lee. Just as I planned, we’re we’re just as supposed to believe a crazy man with a gun.

Look, I know my brother and he would never hire someone to kill Stephan. He’s not a murderer. He did pull the plug on me when I was in a coma that was different. Okay. Making a split second mistake is a whole lot different than plotting to murder someone in cold blood because he says something you, you know, that’s not Lee.

Well, Stefan’s, right? Lee has a history of trying to eliminate his competition by any means necessary, but my brother has accepted that you moved on Gabby. I mean, he didn’t even fight to the divorce. He let you go. Wendy. Wendy, when we ran into Lee earlier tonight, he insisted you not come to this party.

That was just. About loyalty to him. Yeah. Boy, he didn’t want you getting caught up in the crossfire.

Lee, you need to stay away from this party. Do you hear me? Do you understand you have caused Gabby enough pain already? I know you’re right. I, it’s just, it’s just what Lee, I ran into my sister and Johnny Damara as they were headed in, and Gabby and Stephan, and honestly I tried to be happy for them, but seeing them, knowing what’s going on in there, I just can’t get it outta my head.

What could have been. I loved your sister so much. I still do. Okay. I hear you and I understand because I have been in a similar situation myself, but what you need to understand is what you and Gabby had before it is over. You need to accept that.

You can’t just willow away feelings brave. Sure you know that even now. Right now, knowing how happy they are up there just breaks my heart.

So it’s true. Lee put you up to this. Why would I lie? What the hell happened to, to turning your life around wanting redemption for all of the terrible things that you, this isn’t you, is it? You’ve been brainwashed again. This time by Lee Shin. No, you’re right. Chad Lee’s done this before. He, he brainwashed han into forgetting that he loved me and now he’s brainwashed hairs into becoming his assassin.

Owens Town hasn’t been brainwashed. Ah, it’s sort of a thing here. Just wait until somebody pulls off a Mission Impossible style mask. Mid party crash. Right? Shut up, everyone. Shut up. I don’t know what you’re talking about.

All I know is I have orders from Lee to kill you.

It’s about that time.

Aj, you’re here. Yes. Thank God I’m here with you. Um, when did you get back in town? I never left. What? Megan locked me in the tunnel. Hey, hey. US, us struck us in the tunnels. Okay. Why would she do that? We don’t know, but we’re pretty sure she gave us something that’s affecting our memories. Good God. How did you escape?

Well, I mean, thankfully Leo Stark found us and he set us free. Leo Stark? Yeah. What was he doing down there? No idea. I don’t remember.

Ah, Megan must be using this as her base of operations, so there has got to be something down here.

Oh my Gaga, jackpot pot. This is the good stuff. Ancestral wealth tear bubbly. No legal focused. No. Today you are a hero. You have got to find proof that Dimitri is up to no good. It’s the only way to stop going from getting hurt. Okay?

No. Oh, I can’t watch Michael’s. Michaels. Michaels. Just stop. All right. You don’t wanna do this. Orders are orders. But you don’t have to follow them. Whatever Lee did to you, Michaels fight it. Do not listen to Lee’s voice in your head. Michaels, you listen to your own. Okay? Deep down, you know this is wrong.

Think about that time that you set that bomb off at my apartment in Seattle. You felt terrible about that after you broke free from the brainwashing. You hated Megan for doing that to you. Um, how about we don’t remind the man with the gun how much he hates me? Please, please don’t let me make you do this.

You’re not a murderer. Um, actually, technically he is a murderer. I read his case and there were several instances where. Sorry, I have an idea. Let, let me get Lee on the phone and you know what? You probably think I’m gonna call 9 1 1. You get him on the phone and let me just talk to him right now. I can talk him out of this.

Please, please.

Thanks Ray. As much as I’m hurting, Hoda just made it worse. Humiliating myself at Gabby and Seven’s party. Nah, I’m glad you stopped me. I didn’t do it for you. Well, either way, you helped me and I appreciate it and I promise I’m headed straight home. Good. Give my congratulations to the happy couple.

Fair enough. Goodnight Lee.

Hopefully by the time you get up there, it’ll be too late. The job will have been completed.

Please let me call Lee. I I can straighten this up. Drop the phone, but Gabby’s right, she and I can make my brother realize what a mistake this is just two minutes. I said drop the phone right now, Gabby. Just do what he says. But Gabby,

I didn’t, I didn’t want to hurt Lee. Okay. Just my, my heart belongs to Stephan. He’s the only person that’s ever understood me, the real me. Everything I am and love me for it, not in spite of it. So if you shoot him, then you have to shoot me too, Gabby. Yes, please. I cannot live without him. Okay. I can’t. I can’t.

So please, I’m telling you, please don’t do this. Please don’t. I’m sorry, but I have no choice.

What happened?

Mother,

you shot me.

There’s just so much blood. Um, it’s okay. Um. I’m, I’m gonna go get help. Just keep putting pressure on it. Okay. I’ll be back. Hang on.

Why haven’t I heard from Megan? Steph should be good and dead by now.

Kevin, what are you doing here? Are you supposed to be your engagement party? I was there. I was there, and then Harris Michael showed up and killed Stephan. Oh my God. He didn’t hurt you, did he? No. You must be devastated. I was at first. Then I realized, Harry said me a favor. Did you A, did you a favor? What do you mean?

I thought, I love Stephan. But now that he’s gone, I realize you’re the only man ever truly loved. Wait, wait, wait. Don’t you need time to mourn? I can mourn Stephan tomorrow to tonight. I want you to rish me.

Hurry home to me, Gabby. You gotta let me go. I get a job to do him sit. Michael said that Lee ordered him to kill Stephan. We suspected, uh, that Lee brainwashed him. Lee dammit saw Lee outside. He was staring up here. Yeah, I thought he was going to come up here and wreak havoc and make a fool of himself.

Obviously it was much worse.

Okay. Um, the paramedics are on their way. She’s still unconscious. Okay. Don’t give up hope. Okay. She’s soon gonna get the help she needs. Mm-hmm. Hey, You all right.

Okay. Let’s get you outta here. Let’s go. Come on. How were you thinking going after him? Like that you could have gotten yourself killed. No, he was trying to kill you. You and he’s, how about thank you for saving my life. You were amazingly brave. You’re my hero. You Thank you for saving my life. And you are amazingly brave, but please.

Don’t do something that reckless ever again. No. I had to stop him. I couldn’t lose you. Not again. It’s okay. It’s okay now. He tried to keep us apart again and he failed again. Nothing can separate us. You and I, were gonna get married. We’re gonna have a long, wonderful life together and Lee is gonna pay for this and so is everybody else who helped him out.

So Megan held you to prisoner this whole time evil sadistic bitch, but you texted me. No, no, I, I did not. How I wish I could have, it must have been Megan using my phone obviously. Well, that explains why you didn’t answer my calls,

ej. I, I thought you abandoned me and the baby. Nicole. Nicole, I will never abandon you. You and this baby mean everything to me. You hear me? Everything.

Did you meet with a specialist? I did. And. She thinks that I can carry this baby to term. Oh my God, that’s wonderful news. That’s wonderful news. After all these years, we’re finally going to have a child together.

Mm.

I feel so much better after that shower. It helped clear some of the fogginess outta my head. Hey Jay, we really should have a doctor take a look at you. I mean, Megan’s drugs could have some side effects. We will. But first I want to address the elephant in the room. What do you mean? I think you know, Eric, what about him?

What was he doing here? Well, trust me, he came over for a very good reason, and, and we will talk about that, just not now. Okay. The, but the point is it, it was a blessing in disguise because I got some cramping. He took me to the hospital and, and everything’s fine. Everything’s fine. But Eric wanted to stay because, well, you, you weren’t around so I disappeared.

You thought the worst of me, that I didn’t care about you all. Al child, and you turned to Eric. No, it’s not how it went. Ej, you know how I feel about you. Do I, I mean, a few weeks ago I told you that I love you and you, you haven’t set it back.

I know, and I’m sorry. And when I think about how Megan could have killed you, I realize that I,

I do. I I love you.

You look skeptical. I, I just feel like I might have talked you into saying that. No, I pressured you. I hate to No, you, you didn’t. I, I, I said it because I feel it. You are the father of my child and the man I wanna be with. And if you don’t believe me, And maybe this will convince you, oh, I’m here. Mm-hmm.

Yes. I, I would like to report a kidnapping. Uh, my brother and I, ugh, ugh. My wicked witch of a sister. Actually, no. I, I don’t remember how it happened. No, no, no, no. I’m not kidding. Why would I joke about something so serious? You know, I just, just hold on. I, my brother. DJ.

Well, so much for being boy’s hero. At least I got this lovely souvenir. Uh, I just wish those two bozos could remember what Megan and Dimitri are up to. So I could tell my poorly diluted BFF before it’s too late. She would dump that miserable SOB and never look back.

Dimitri. Yeah. How’s your mom? They managed to keep her stable in the ambulance, and then they just rushed her straight into surgery as soon as we got here. When she just, she, she looked so pale. She, she was so fragile. Listen to me. She cheated death once, didn’t she? Mm-hmm. She’s, she’s gonna do it again.

Thank you. Thank you for your support. I’m sure you want to get home and I, I totally understand Dave. No, no, I’m not going anywhere. I’m staying here.

You have to let me go. It’s not gonna happen. I promise. Ray, if I’d look after you until back up. A squad car just pulled up. Police should be here any minute. I have a mission to complete. Michael’s the mission’s over. You failed

Dr. Ralphs handy work. Yeah, I’d bet. Good money on it. Poor guy. Can’t catch a break. First, he’s brainwashed by Megan. Now, lay shin.

I can’t believe my brother did something so crazy when I, uh, when I lost Chanel to my sister, I was so desperate to get her back. I almost did something very underhanded. Did you brainwash a Navy seal to kill Allie? No, of course not. You’re not a criminal heartless bastard with no conscience.

There’s no excuse for the horrible, unforgivable thing my brother did, none at all, and now he’s going have to face the consequences.

What are you doing here? Aren’t you supposed to be at your engagement party? I was there, but it ended early when Harris Michael showed up with a gun. What? Why? To kill Stephan. Oh my God, Gabby, I’m so sorry. Poor Stephan. I Lee. Don’t bury me just yet. Stephan. Thank God you’re okay. Drop the act. You son of a bitch.

I have to go. What? Act please. Chin. You go under arrest for the attempted murder of Stephan Damira.

Kate was suspicious that Megan would be having an engagement party while she’s on a secret location with Harris. Eric tried to assure Nicole that she would be fine. She was afraid that she was miscarrying again. He tried to comfort her, but she didn’t deserve his kindness. She thought she was being punished for what she did to Jada.

Update written by Joseph

Gabi joins Stefan at the DiMera Mansion and apologizes for being late as she was in a meeting. Gabi says she just left because she couldn’t be late for her own engagement party. Stefan isn’t sure how much of a party it will be since most of the guests can’t make it. Gabi asks why. Stefan explains that Tony and Anna are still out of town and EJ is still on that mysterious business trip. Stefan adds that Megan told him that Kristen decided to take a trip to New York. Gabi finds it odd that Kristen and EJ both left town without telling them. Stefan reveals that what’s more odd is that Kristen left without her phone when they both know she can’t live without it.

EJ and Kristen remain tied up in the wine cellar in the DiMera tunnels. They try screaming for help. Kristen complains that she would have thought someone would have come for a bottle of wine by now. EJ worries that if Megan had her way, Stefan’s probably already dead. Kristen doubts that and says Megan would’ve gloated about it when she was there before. EJ agrees that Megan does love to gloat, so he doesn’t know how she’s fooling Nicole. EJ can’t believe Nicole fell for Megan’s story as if he would leave for a business trip when Nicole had such an important medical appointment that he arranged to see if she can carry their baby to term. EJ hates to think that Nicole is going through it alone.

At the hospital, Eric encourages Nicole to breathe. Nicole fears that she is losing the baby.

At the Brady Pub, Kate looks over her text conversation with Harris Michaels and notes that she hasn’t heard anything since. Kate texts him asking where the hell he is because she needs more information. Li walks by the Pub with Harris’ phone and texts Kate back that everything went according to plan. Li then remarks to himself that it just wasn’t according to Kate’s plan.

Megan watches as Dr. Rolf shocks Harris’ brain. Dr. Rolf assures Megan that Harris will be doing only her bidding from now on. Megan asks if he’s sure that Harris is ready for the job that she needs him to do tonight. Dr. Rolf tells her not to worry and declares that this will be Stefan’s last night on Earth.

Dimitri tells Johnny and Wendy that he’s glad he ran in to them. Wendy points out that it might be a little weird since she was almost Gabi’s sister-in-law but she really likes her and she’s glad that Gabi is marrying the man she loves. Johnny tells Dimitri that they will see him at the party then. Dimitri thanks them and says that Megan is trying to do something nice for Stefan and Gabi, but admits the attendance on the DiMera side might be a little thin. Johnny says they will help with that.

Kate sends a text to Harris’ phone, asking what he did with Megan. Li responds that it’s best she doesn’t know the details. Li then remarks to himself that she’ll find out soon enough. Kate texts back, inviting Harris to the Pub for a drink to celebrate.

Gwen gets dressed for the engagement party. Leo mentions his plan to drink all night unless she gets him in to the party. Gwen says that Dimitri is hoping for a romantic night so she doesn’t want him spoiling that. Gwen comments on Leo not giving Dimitri the benefit of the doubt. Leo argues against Dimitri wanting to marry her after 24 hours and says even he doesn’t move that fast. Gwen talks about them being losers in love but now her Prince Charming has literally fallen in to her lap. Leo complains that she means he’s still a loser. Gwen says she’s had a wonderful bit of luck and wonders if Leo is just a bit jealous.

Gabi and Stefan look over the guest list for the party. Gabi comments on Gwen being there while Stefan points out Chad attending and says at least a few DiMeras will be there. Gabi says Rafe is the only one from her side that’s coming and he’s so busy with Abe’s case that he said he can only stop by. Gabi worries that the party is going to suck but Stefan calls that impossible since they will be there and he plans on having a grand old time, celebrating their love and the fact that they will soon be husband and wife again. Gabi agrees that them being there together is all that matters.

Kristen tells EJ that Nicole is the least of their problems at the moment. Kristen complains that she’s starving and she can’t believe her sister did this to them. Kristen worries about how this is going to end. EJ tells her not to go there but Kristen questions if there is any reason for Megan to keep them alive.

Megan tells Dr. Rolf that Harris hardly looks like a man ready to carry out an assassination later tonight. Dr. Rolf acknowledges that the procedure was taxing but he’s confident that Harris will be ready. Megan says he better be because Stefano would be rolling over in his grave if Stefan handed over his legacy to Gabi. Megan declares that DiMera should be hers and the flies in the ointment are EJ and Kristen. Megan worries that if she lets them go, they will turn her in to the authorities and ruin everything she has planned. Dr. Rolf asks if she doesn’t have faith in him by now and reveals that he knows how to make sure that won’t happen.

Leo asks Gwen why he would be jealous. Gwen complains about Leo being suspicious about Dimitri when they have ruled out that it’s money or his reputation or a green card. Gwen questions what other possible ulterior motive he could have. Gwen suggests it was just love at first sight, insisting that is possible. Gwen says even as friends, she knew when she first saw Leo that she would always love him. Leo accepts that maybe she’s right. Leo then admits that maybe he is a bit jealous that she has found her Prince Charming while no one has flirted with him in the last millennium. Leo adds that he’s still certain that Dimitri is up to something.

Johnny tells Dimitri that they will see him at the Bistro. Dimitri comments that it should be a great celebration as he walks away. Johnny admits he was surprised that Wendy wanted to go to the party. Wendy explains that Gabi is the closest thing she’s ever had to a sister and she doesn’t think Gabi holds what happened with her and Li against her. Wendy hopes Gabi understands that Li kind of lost his mind when Stefan came back because he knew he was going to lose Gabi, so he did a lot of things that he regrets now. Wendy states that Li did so many things to hold on to her, so she’s really glad that Li has come to his senses and realized that he has to move on…

Li texts Kate back as Harris, saying he’s moving Megan to a secure location and will join her for a drink when he returns.

Chad and Stephanie go to the Brady Pub and greet Kate. Chad tells Kate that they just wanted to stop by and see how she’s doing because he knows she and Abe were close. Kate calls it so terrible and she still can’t believe it as she still hasn’t processed it. Stephanie agrees, calling it awful and sad. Stephanie feels kind of wrong to be going to a party. Chad tells Kate that it’s Stefan and Gabi’s engagement party. Chad adds that he didn’t want to go, but Megan can be insistent. Kate is confused and questions Megan’s involvement.

Gabi tells Stefan that she still doesn’t know why Megan wanted to throw them this party. Stefan feels a party is a party. Gabi says they could give her the benefit of the doubt and assume she means well. Gabi tells Stefan that she needs some help getting in to her dress, so they head upstairs together.

Eric encourages Nicole that everything is going to be okay and she’s not going to lose the baby. Nicole argues that he doesn’t know that. Eric points out that the cramps are less frequent and reminds her that the most important thing is to relax. Nicole says she can’t relax because she’s been through this too many times in the past. Eric argues that this is not like then, repeating that the cramps are less frequent. Nicole comments on Eric being so kind and caring when this isn’t even his baby. Nicole brings up what happened with Jada. Eric tells Nicole that he cares about her even with all the ups and downs they have been through, so he’s not going anywhere. Eric says he’s sorry that EJ is not here for her right now, but he is.

EJ tells Kristen that he’s all for finding a way out, but he feels they have tried everything. EJ doesn’t think they are in danger since if Megan wanted to kill them, she would have already. Kristen worries that she’s just waiting for the right time, pointing out that if Megan has no problem killing Stefan then what’s to stop her with them.

Dr. Rolf presents Megan with a syringe of CRS-17, the drug he used to wipe out people’s memory. Megan calls him a genius and declares that if EJ and Kristen can’t remember that she kidnapped them or that she admitted to planning to kill Stefan, then she is free and clear. Dr. Rolf confirms that how much they forget depends on the dose so having them forget the past week will be easy. Megan says they have a little bit of time before the party, so she will take care of EJ and Kristen on her way to the party. Megan declares that is something to celebrate. Megan tells Harris that she will see him there and he better not let her down this time.

Nicole appreciates Eric being there for her but says it’s a lot to ask. Eric points out that she didn’t ask. Nicole feels like she doesn’t deserve to be comforted and like she’s being punished. Eric assures that God doesn’t punish people by scaring them. Eric decides to go see what’s keeping the doctor and encourages her to relax as he will be right back.

Gwen tells Leo not to wait up. Leo tells her to promise to call him if Dimitri pressures her to accept his proposal tonight. Gwen asks him to give it a rest, questioning what he can dig up on Dimitri in the next three hours. Leo feels it’s the ideal time to dig up dirt since all the DiMeras will be out and he can check out the mansion to look for clues and might even come up with a story out of it. Gwen remarks that he’ll surely come up with a story since the DiMera Mansion is murder mayhem central. Gwen tells Leo that no matter how hard he looks, Dimitri has no ulterior motive. Leo says they’ll see about that.

Stefan struggles helping Gabi get the zipper up on her dress. Stefan decides that it’s a sign that maybe instead of putting clothes on, they should be taking them off. Gabi agrees as they kiss.

Megan enters the living room of the DiMera Mansion, on the phone with Li. Megan tells Li not to worry about Kate as she will take care of her next. Li says he just wants to make sure that none of this is traced back to them. Megan tells him to stop worrying because Harris is firmly back on her team, so he will take Stefan out at the party tonight then Li will be free to move on with Gabi and they both get what they want. Li says it was a pleasure doing business with her and hangs up. Johnny and Wendy walk through the town square and come across Li. Li asks what the occasion is for them to be dressed up. Wendy informs him that they got a last minute invitation to Stefan and Gabi’s engagement party but Li says he doesn’t want them to go.

Kate questions what Chad said about Megan. Chad repeats that she insisted they go to the party. Chad assures that he still hates Megan for what she did to Kate. Chad jokes that he hates 90% of the people that are going to be there 90% of the time. Kate asks when Megan sent the invitation. Chad says it was just awhile ago. Stephanie asks if something is wrong. Kate says no and just that she tries to avoid Megan at all costs. Chad suggests staying away from the Bistro for the next few hours then because Megan is hosting.

Megan prepares the syringe of CRS-17 and looks to the portrait of Stefano, insisting that she’s only doing what is best for the entire family. Megan remarks that Stefano never even knew Stefan existed and doesn’t think he would’ve liked him much. Megan states that Stefan is so easily manipulated by Gabi and is very weak, so she doesn’t think Stefano will be shedding any tears over this. Megan then heads for the tunnels but Dimitri arrives and questions what she is doing.

Stephanie asks Kate if she’s sure she’s alright. Kate claims she’s fine and she just despises Megan and Dimitri. Chad says he’s sorry for what they put her through. Kate says that’s all over now thanks to Chad and adds that she wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for him. Chad is grateful that she is. Kate reminds them that they have a party to go to, so Chad says they should go. Chad jokes that the sooner they get there, the sooner they can leave. Kate tells them to have fun. Chad jokes that it’s going to be lit. Stephanie tells Kate to take care as she and Chad exit the Pub. Kate then calls Harris Michaels.

As Harris phone rings, Wendy comments on Li changing his ringtone. She questions him not answering it. Li blows it off as just spam. Wendy asks why Li doesn’t want them to go to the party. Li argues that Stefan humiliated him. Li then decides that if they really want to go, he knows they are very fond of Gabi which Wendy confirms. Li warns them to watch their backs if they go because you never know what could happen in a room full of DiMeras…

Stefan and Gabi lay in bed together after having sex. Gabi says they better get a move on or they will be late to their own party. Stefan suggests they just not go. Stefan points out that everyone else is sending along their regrets so maybe they should do the same as they continue kissing.

Megan claims to Dimitri that she was just going down to get a few bottles of champagne for the party tonight. Dimitri asks what else she’s been up to since he’s texted her about a dozen times. Megan apologizes and says she’s just been so busy planning everything for the party. Megan asks if Gwen has accepted his proposal. Dimitri says not yet, only because they have been rudely interrupted by her overprotective little roommate. Megan complains that Gwen needs to accept the proposal. Dimitri notes that she did agree to come to the party so he’s sure all the engagement excitement will be contagious. Dimitri is very confident that he will be able to convince Gwen to accept this evening. Megan warns that Dimitri better be confident as she doesn’t need to remind him of the small fortune at stake. Dimitri says he will see her later tonight and exits the mansion. Megan then grabs the syringe and hurries in to the tunnels. Leo then sneaks in to the DiMera Mansion through the side door.

Eric returns to Nicole, who informs him that the doctor said the baby is fine. Eric says that’s great and asks what caused the cramps. Nicole says it was round ligament pain and it’s apparently normal so she just needs to take it easy, stay hydrated, and now she feels like an idiot. Eric understands why she would panic because of her rough history with things like this in the past. Eric is relieved that the baby is okay and he’s sure EJ will feel the same way when he gets back from where ever he is.

EJ tells Kristen that he’d be an idiot if he wasn’t a little worried about what Megan might do to them, but he’s more worried about what she might have already done to Stefan. Megan then enters the room and tells them to relax as she hasn’t done anything to Stefan. Megan then announces that now she has all her ducks in a row, so Stefan will be dead within the hour.

Stefan and Gabi walk through the town square. They agree it would’ve been a bad idea to skip their engagement party. Gabi talks about how they get to celebrate and then go home to spend the rest of the night in bed together. Li approaches them and says he just ran in to Wendy, who said she was going to their party so he would like to offer his congratulations. Stefan thanks him and says that’s very kind of him. Li states that he just wants Gabi to be happy. Gabi tells him that she wants the same for him. Gabi asks if Li is alright as he seems a little edgy. Li claims that he just hopes her evening is every bit as lovely as she deserves it to be. Li then steps away to listen to the voicemail that Kate left, where she says she just heard that Megan is throwing a party tonight and questions how that’s possible. Kate wonders what’s going on and guesses she’ll just have to see with her own eyes. Li deletes the voicemail and remarks that he hopes Kate doesn’t get caught in the crossfire.

Kristen questions Megan saying that Stefan will be dead within the hour. Megan explains that she’s throwing the engagement party tonight and Dr. Rolf has worked his magic on her man, Commander Harris Michaels. EJ questions Dr. Rolf being back. Megan confirms that he is, so tonight, Harris Michaels will do the deed and kill Stefan in front of all his friends and family, except for them two. Kristen asks if she’s going to kill them. Megan says of course not as she doesn’t think Stefano would be very happy about that. EJ swears they won’t implicate her and won’t say anything about this if she lets them go. Megan then reveals the syringe of CRS-17. EJ remembers Dr. Rolf trying to use it on Johnny to erase his memory. Megan tells them that as soon as the drug takes effect, she will be back for them. Megan suggests making it as quick and easy as possible.

Leo sneaks in to the DiMera Mansion and records himself talking about it. Leo notes that he couldn’t overhear the conversation between Dimitri and Megan, but given how shocked Megan was when he came through the tunnels before, he bets that they are hiding something down there and whatever it is will reveal that they are conspiring to screw over Gwen.

Chad and Stephanie arrive at the Bistro and greet Johnny and Wendy. Johnny hugs Chad and says he’s glad to see a family member that he actually knows and likes. Johnny introduces Wendy to Chad and Stephanie. Stephanie mentions hearing a lot about Wendy from Tripp and that he mentioned they might be dating. Stephanie says she shouldn’t have said anything given how Wendy and Johnny are on a date now. Wendy admits that she and Tripp did have a date earlier. Johnny asks if they are calling this a date now. Chad decides it’s none of their business. Chad hopes they have a fun night. Dimitri and Gwen then arrive. Dimitri announces that Gwen is his beautiful date and he hopes that tonight she might do him the honor of accepting his wedding proposal. Chad questions that and Stephanie asks if they knew each other from Europe. Dimitri admits they just met but they agree they share a very deep connection, so they hope they can all be happy for them but guesses not. Gwen says they don’t need anyone’s approval. Chad assures they won’t get it from him. Stefan and Gabi then arrive. Gabi remarks that it’s a room full of people that hates them and tells Stefan that they should’ve stayed home.

Harris Michaels wakes up in Dr. Rolf’s lab and asks what’s going on. Dr. Rolf informs him that he has a very important mission to carry out and asks if he remembers what that is.

Leo sneaks in to the DiMera Tunnels. Eric brings Nicole home to the DiMera Mansion and gets her settled on the couch. Eric asks if she wants water or soup. Nicole stops him and asks him not to go. Nicole tells Eric that she knows it must have been difficult for him to be in the hospital with her, so she wants him to know it means a lot. Eric is glad he could be there for her as they hug.

After being injected by Megan, EJ talks about feeling his memory slipping away. Kristen questions how they helped Stefan now. Leo then finds them and asks WTF?

Megan runs in to Kate in the town square. Megan mocks her and says she’d love to stay and chat but she’s late for a very important date. Megan walks away while Kate remarks “mission accomplished, my ass”

Li goes to Dr. Rolf’s lab and asks how it’s going. Rolf says it’s exactly as he said it would be and that Harris is like a heat seeking missile, focused on destroying his target. Li reminds him that it’s only the target because his sister is at the party. Dr. Rolf assures that Harris is programmed to only target Stefan. Li asks if won’t everyone suspect Megan immediately since she brainwashed Harris before. Dr. Rolf informs Li that he took care of that. Li hopes he didn’t let Harris go before he was fully ready like the disaster with Stefan. Dr. Rolf assures that the procedure is complete and Li will be a happy beneficiary. Li declares that Stefan will be gone and Gabi will be his again but this time, his hands will be completely clean.

Megan arrives at the Bistro and welcomes everyone. Megan apologizes for the delay and says that to make this a really special night, she brought a bottle of Stefano’s favorite champagne and it took a little longer than expected but she’s here now. Megan is so glad they are all here too because there is nothing in this world more important than family. Megan adds that she’s so grateful that they have all welcomed her back. Megan is thrilled to host this gathering for her newfound brother and his gorgeous bride to be. Megan says she just knows that Stefano is smiling down on them now, happy to see them all together again. Megan admits that she knows they have their differences but says they overcome them because that’s what families do. Chad mutters to Stephanie that Megan’s an assassin and that’s kind of hard to overcome. Megan talks about all the lost years they could’ve spent together but says she looks forward to the many happy years to come. Megan calls for everyone to grab a glass of champagne to toast the couple. Harris Michaels then arrives. Megan pretends to be shocked and asks what the hell he’s doing there. Harris then pulls his gun out, scaring everyone in the room.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Damn it.

Just not according to your plan.

You didn’t kill him, did you? Is he all right? Of course I didn’t kill him, but since he’s already broken free from your control once I had to administer an especially intense regimen, so you can rest Assured Commander Michaels will be doing only your bidding from now on. Are you sure that he’s ready for the job that I need him to do tonight?

Don’t you worry, this will be your brother Stefan’s last night on earth.

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

Well, I am so glad that I ran into you both. Nice to meet you, and that I could extend the invitation. Oh. Like I said, it’ll be a little weird for me to be there since it’s almost Gabby’s sister-in-law, but I am really happy for her and for Stephan, so I’m glad that we can celebrate their engagement. Yeah.

Yeah, me too. Great. Very generous of you both. And it means a lot to my mother. She’s trying to do something nice for them, but, uh, well, to be honest with you, the attendance on the Demer side is looking a little thin. Well, we’ll help with that. The more the merrier. Right.

You’ll find out soon enough.

Ah. Thank you.

I hope you’re not planning on spending the evening drinking all night. That’s the current plan. Unless you can finagle me an invitation to the party or a press pass at least. I’m sorry, my darling lady whistleblower is just going to have to have the night off. Dimitri’s hoping for a very romantic evening and I don’t want you spoiling it.

Me spoil a good time. Never. I’m constitutionally incapable. No. Yes. I used to think that, but now I think you are constitutionally incapable of trusting anyone, giving anyone the benefit of the doubt. Oh, right. How disappointing that I don’t trust a guy who meets you beds, you and wants to put a ring on it in 24 hours.

Come on, Gwenny. Even I don’t move that fast. Okay, Matty, I hope you don’t take this the wrong way, but the past few months we’ve been commiserating. Have we not been losers in love and now my Prince charming has literally fallen into my lap while you are still a loser. No. I never said that. Oh, that’s what you meant.

No, it’s not. I’m just, I’m saying that while I’ve had this wonderful bit of luck, I know that you haven’t, and I’m wondering if perhaps you’re just a wee bit jealous.

Gwen Ek. Yikes. Scraping the bottom of the barrel. Are he? Oh, Chad Damara is gonna be there. Look at that. Well, at least a few Damara will be in attendance, huh? Yeah. Well, wife’s the only one from my side that’s coming and he’s so busy working Abe car’s space. He said he, he’s only gonna be able to stop by.

This probably gonna suck. No. Impossible. Yes. You’re gonna be there. I’m gonna be there. And I plan on having a grand old time celebrating us. Our love and the fact that you and I are suing the husband and wife again. You’re right. No, you’re right. Yes. Us being there together, that’s all that matters. That’s right.

No offense, but Nicole’s the least of our problems at this moment. Oh my God. I am starving. I’m starting to contemplate cannibalism. Well, I suppose that is the demure way. I can’t believe my sister did this to me.

Oh, and you, of course. I cannot think how this is gonna end. Okay, Emma, Kristen, don’t go there again. How can I not, how can I not? There’s no reason for her to keep us alive, is there.

He hardly looks like a man prepared to carry out an assassination. Later tonight. The procedure was taxing, but I’m confident. Commander Michaels, who will be ready. He better be father would roll over in his grave if Stephan handed his entire legacy to that conniving. Gabby Hernandez. Demira should be mine.

There’s only one fly in the ointment. Well, two actually. DJ and Kristen. I can hardly take out the entire family, but if I let them go, they’ll turn me into the authorities and they’ll ruin everything that I’ve planned. Don’t you have faith in me by now, Megan?

I know how to ensure that won’t happen.

Why on earth would I be jealous? Just because you’re being wooed and proposed to by a rich, gorgeous guy with a magic penis. Oh God sake, Matthew, we really going there again. You never denied he had one. That’s because you made a very stupid lewd joke, which I was trying to forget about, but since you won’t drop it, yes, Dimitri and I are quite compatible physically.

And also he has a magic penis. Oh God. Can you just stay on topic please? What was the topic again that you are for no apparent reason. Quite jealous and still very suspicious of Dimitri even though we have obviously ruled out that it’s not money or reputation laundering or, or he’s not marrying me for a green card.

So what are his ulterior motives? I mean, what other possible option is there? Health insurance. He’s from Europe. Health insurance is free, really, even for Botox and fillers. I’m pretty sure that you have to pay for that everywhere. But look, just consider this, will you? It could be quite simple for Dimitri that perhaps it was just not at first sight.

Hmm. I mean, you know that’s possible, don’t you? Even for friends. I knew that when I first saw you, I loved you and that I always would, fuck. I just made my heart go pitter powder. Yes. Well, I meant it.

Okay. Maybe you’re right. Uh, come again. Sorry. Do, do my ears deceive me. Did I actually just hear you say that I am right? No, I said maybe. And maybe I am a teensy bit jealous that you have found your prince charming, as you say, whereas nobody’s even flirted with me in the last millennium. Oh, come on.

That’s not true. And that’s how it feels. But petty jealousy aside, Lord, I am still certain that magic penis guy is up to something. Ah.

You’re right, of course. The more the merrier. See you at the bistro. Yes. Yes, we will. It should be a great celebration.

You know, I, I was surprised that, that we even wanted to go to the party. Well, Gabby is the closest thing I’ve ever had to a sister, and I don’t think she holds what happened between her and my brother against me, or even against him. I just, I think, I hope that she understands that Lee kind of lost his mind when Stephan came back.

Yeah. He knew he was gonna lose Gabby. Right. And so he did a lot of things. He regrets now. I mean, he was just trying so hard to hold onto her because he loved her so much.

Now I’m really glad he’s finally come to his senses and realized he has to move on.

Hey, you two. Hi. Hi. Hi. It’s good to see you. Hello. Overdressed for the pub though, aren’t you? Oh, no, we’re not. Uh, we’re not having dinner here tonight. We just wanted to stop by and see how you’re doing. Me too. Hey. I know you guys are close. I know, I, the, the whole thing is so terrible. I just, I mean, I still can’t believe it, you know, I just haven’t processed it really?

Yeah, we haven’t either. It’s just so awful and sad. Feels kind of wrong to be going to a party. Yeah. So Stefan and Gabby’s engagement party, I didn’t want to go, but, uh, you know, my sister Megan, she can be. Consistent. Megan, you know, I still don’t know why Megan was so Help Ben on throwing us this party.

Who cares? Party’s a party. True. I guess we could give her the benefit of the doubt. Assume she means well, I think she is capable of that as long as she’s not being a power hungry bitch on wheels. Right. Well, I guess I should get ready. Uh, you know, actually, I do need some help getting into my dress. Yeah.

Yeah. Mm-hmm. I’m your man.

Nicole, look at me. Look at me. Everything is gonna be okay. You’re not gonna lose this baby. You don’t know that Eric, Nicole, look, the, the cramps, they’re coming in less frequently. You’re not spotting, are you? All right, then well listen. You heard what the OB said. She said the most important thing for you and your baby’s health is just to try and relax.

Well, I can’t relax. I’ve been down this road too many times. This is nothing like what’s happened in the past. The cramps are coming in less frequently. You’re not spotting what? What is with that look? It’s just that you’re being so kind and and caring, and this isn’t even your baby. And after what happened with Jada, Eric, I, Hey, hey, hey, stop.

Listen to me. Don’t you know by now I care about you. Even with all the ups and downs that we’ve been through, I’m not going anywhere. Okay. I’m sorry that ejs not here for you right now, but I am.

I’m all for finding a way out of here, but it feels like we’ve tried everything. Got any new ideas? Well, if I had Susan’s teeth, I could knock through these ropes. Look. I don’t think we’re in imminent danger. If Megan wanted to kill us, she would’ve done it already. Well, maybe she is just waiting for the right time.

She has no qualms about killing Stephan. Why not us two?

CRS 17. Who’s a rescue? Oh, Ralph, you’re a genius. If Kristen and EJ can’t remember that I kidnapped them or admitted that I planned to kill Stephan, then I am free and clear. Can you make them forget that? And only that I’ve gotten a lot of practice with this drug in recent years. How much they forget is dosage dependent.

We should be able to wake out the last week or two with very little problem. Excellent. So I have a little bit of time before the party if you hand me that dose. I’ll take care of them on my way.

Now that is something to celebrate.

See you there, commander. You better not let me down this time.

Eric, I, I, I appreciate you being here for me, but it is a lot to ask. You didn’t ask. I still, I just, I, I just feel like, like, like what? Like I don’t deserve to be comforted. Like I’m being punished. Nicole, stop it. There’s a lot of things about my faith that I question. That’s not one of them. God doesn’t punish people by scaring ’em this way.

That’s not how it works.

Look, I’m gonna go see what’s keeping the dog there. All right? So I just want you to relax. I’ll be right back.

God,

don’t wait up. Okay. Gwynnie promise me this, if dreamy Dimitri pressures you to accept his proposal tonight, you will at least call me first. Why, so you can talk me out a bit? No. So you can see if I dug anything up. Oh God. Matty, please. Can you just give it a rest? I mean, whatcha are you gonna find in three hours anyway?

Are you kidding me? The next three hours are perfect for finding things out. All the de mirrors will be out tonight. It is the ideal time for me to swing by the mansion, nose around a bit, look for clues. Who knows? I may even get a story out of it. Oh yeah, you’ll definitely find clues. That place is murder mayhem central.

But if you are looking for dimitri’s ulterior motive, it doesn’t matter how hard you look. Because there isn’t one We’ll see about that. I can’t possibly suck in any more than this. No, that’s, that’s not the problem. I just can’t get it up. Well, I beg to differ. I, I’m talking about the zipper. Right? And you know what, maybe, maybe this is a sign.

A sign meaning, meaning that, uh, maybe instead of. Putting clothes on. You should be taking clothes off. I like the way things, yeah,

don’t worry about Kate. I’ll take care of her next. I just wanna make certain, none of this will be traced back to us, but stop worrying. Lee. Commander Michaels is firmly back on my team. So he’ll take Stefan out at the party tonight and then you’ll be free to move on with Gabby and we’ll both get what we want.

Pleasure doing business with you.

Hey This’s, your uh, brother. Hey Lee. Hey, I see Case you never dress up. Oh, we got a last minute invite to a party, not Gabby and Stephan’s engagement party. Well, yes, as a matter of fact, no, I I don’t want you to go.

Wait, what did, what did you just say about Megan? Just that she insisted that, um, that we go to that, uh, a party. And I, I still hate her for what she did do. In fact, out of all the people that are gonna be there, I hate 90% of them, but 90% of the time. Okay. Yeah. I just, when exactly did she, um, send that invitation?

Oh, a little while ago. Why is something wrong, wrong? No, no. I, I just tried to avoid her at all costs. Well, then I’d stay away from the bistro for the next few hours cause she’s hosting. If you want, we can give her your fondest regards. Hmm.

Don’t look at me like that father. I’m only doing what’s best for the entire family. And as for Stephan, you never even knew he existed. And honestly, I don’t think you would’ve liked him very much. Oh, he’s so easily manipulated by that woman. Very weak. No, I don’t think you’ll be shedding any tears over this.

Whatever you are,

mother, what are you doing?

Kate, are you sure? You’re all right? No, I’m fine. I’m fine. I just, uh, I just despise the woman, you know, not to mention her son. They deviance both of them. I’m really sorry for what they put you through. Hello? It’s all over now. Nice to you. In fact, I wouldn’t be here now if it wasn’t for you. I’m damn grateful You are.

Okay. Uter, you have a party to go to, right? Yeah. We should go. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Sooner we get there the sooner we can leave. Mm-hmm. Right. We’ll have fun, okay? Okay. It’s gonna be lit. No, you take care, Kate. Yeah, you too.

Finally changed your ringtone, huh? Yeah. What You’re not gonna answer. It is just spam. Probably someone wanting to offer me an extended auto warranty. Yeah, dude, I, I get those all the time. Right. Well, you were just about to tell us why don’t you want us to go to the party? What I should think it’d be obvious, Stephan humiliating me of me to be brutally honest.

It’s very embarrassing,

but if you really want to go, I know you’re very fond of Gabby, so Yeah, we are. Just promise me that you’ll watch your back. You never know what can happen in a room full of Demaris. No offense not taken. I know exactly what you mean.

Mm-hmm. Thank you. Stuck zipper. Thank you. But you know, we better get, move on or we’re gonna be late to a party. Or maybe, and I’m just spit balling here. Maybe we don’t go, you know, everybody else is sent along their regrets. Maybe we should do the same.

Oh, I was just going down to get a few bottles of Christophe for the party tonight, huh? Well, it’d also been up to, I’ve texted about a dozen times. I know, sweetheart, I’m sorry. I’ve just been so busy planning everything for the party. There’s so many little details, but tell me. Has she accepted your proposal?

No, not yet. Only because we have been rudely interrupted by her Weasley, overprotective little roommate. Damn it. She needs to accept that proposal. Yes, I know mother, but she has agreed to come to the party tonight and I’m sure that all of this engagement, excitement will be contagious. I am very confident that I’ll be able to persuade her to accept this evening.

You’d better be confident. I’m sure I don’t need to remind you about the small fortune that’s ATS stake. Mother, you really don’t.

I’ll see you there tonight. Can’t wait.

Well,

well, uh, the doctor said that the baby’s fine. That’s great. So what caused the cramps? Uh, something called round ligament pain. I, I don’t know, I, I’ve never heard of it before, but apparently it’s normal, so I, I just need to take it easy. Stay hydrated, and now I just, You like an idiot, Nicole, you’re not an idiot.

Oh God. God, of course you panicked. You’ve had a rough history with things like this in the past. Just I’m relieved that the baby’s okay.

You and me both. I’m sure you’re just gonna feel the same way when he gets back from wherever he’s

well. I’d be an idiot if I wasn’t a little worried about what made my do to us since she’s already done this, but I’m much more worried about what she might have already done to Stephan. Relax. I haven’t done anything to Stephan, thank God. But now that I have all my duckies in a row, He’ll be dead within the hour.

Please look at you would’ve been a crappy idea to skip our engagement party. Uh, you’re right. I mean, yeah. This is the best of both worlds. We get to sip on some champagne, those yummy puff pastries, hang out with, uh, all these people that we love, fawning all over us, pretending to like us, and then we get to go home and spend the rest of the night in bed together.

Oh, I love that last part. Me too. Definitely. Hello? Oh, hello Lee. I just, uh, ran into my sister and she said she’s on her way to your engagement party. I’d like to offer my congratulations. Thank you, Lee. That’s very kind of you. Well, I just want Gabby to be happy. I want the same for you, Lee. You all right?

Apart from the obvious weirdness seem a little edgy. Who, uh, me? No, not, not at all. I just hope that your evening is every bit as lovely as you deserve it to be.

I just heard Megan throwing a party tonight. How is that possible? You said she was taken care of. Now I’m not sure what’s going on, so I guess I’m going to my own eyes.

Hope you don’t get caught in a crossfire, Kate.

What do you mean? Stephan will be dead within the hour? Exactly what I said. I am throwing an engagement party for Stephan and Gabby tonight, and this is the exciting part. Dr. Rolfe has worked his magic on my man. Commander Harris. Michaels. Wait. Dr. Rolls is back. Oh, keep up. Ej. Yes, he’s back. And so tonight, commander Michaels Navy Seal and MAL trained assassin is gonna do the deed and kill Stephan in front of all of his friends and family gathered, except for you two Of course.

Oh, Kristen, you’re such a drama queen. No, of course not. I’m not gonna kill the two of you. I don’t think father would be very happy about that. Megan, listen. Listen, if you, if you let us go, we swear, sorry, that we will not implicate. You will say nothing about any of this, right? And your word is your bond, isn’t it?

What the hell is that? CRS 17. Ring any bells? Ralph tried to inject your son with it in Jakarta to raise his memory. Good boy, you do remember, but you won’t soon. Now, don’t worry. As soon as this drug takes full effect, I’ll be back for you. Okay? So listen. Let’s just try and make this as quick and easy as possible.

Okay.

I’m in the mansion. I walked right in through an unlocked door. Apparently Damira security is at Mar-a-Lago levels. Probably shouldn’t print that for the world to see. Dateline 6:00 PM I couldn’t overhear the conversation between Count Dracula and his creepy mother, but given how shocked Megan was when I came through at the tunnels the other day, I am certain they’re hiding something down there.

And I will bet whatever it is, will shed some light on how those two are conspiring to screw over. My best friend.

Hey. Hey, uncle Chad. Oh my God, thank God. Actually, would you, Mike? Yeah. Family member. I actually know. And Blake? Yeah. Back at you. Uh, do you guys know Wendy? Oh, we haven’t met yet, but I have heard a lot about you from trip. Oh. Oh, don’t worry. It’s all good. Um, in fact, what, um, he mentioned that you two might be dating, but nevermind obviously, um, given that you two are on a date right now, I shouldn’t have said No, no, no, no.

It’s okay. Uh, actually trip and I. We did have a date earlier today, so we’re, we’re calling, uh, just to be, we’re calling this a date, no? Yep. Uh, none of our business. Um, Wendy, Johnny, I hope you have a fun night. Yeah. Good evening everyone. Have you all met Gwen Rizek? Yeah, we’ve met. Not only is she my beautiful date for the evening, but I’m also hoping that tonight she might do me the honor of accepting my wedding proposal.

No, sorry, what? Did you guys know each other from Europe? No, actually we didn’t, Tim. Well, Yes, it is true Gwen and I just recently met, but, uh, we both agree that we share a very deep connection on, on many levels and hope that you all can be happy for us. I guess not. Mm-hmm. It’s all right, Dimitri. We don’t need anyone’s approval, do we?

Oh, good. Because, um, we’re not gonna get it from me.

Look, everyone, for people who hate us and each other there, you see, I told you we should have stayed home. Hmm.

Ah, command Michaels. You’re back, sir. What’s going on? You have a very important mission to carry out. Do you remember what.

Oh my goodness. I’m over here. Right here. Okay. Sit down. Thank you. Yeah. And comfy? Yes. All right. Um. I’m gonna get you some water or some, would you like some soup, baby? Don’t go

listen, I, I just wanna say I know it, it must have been difficult for you to be in the hospital with me and I just want you to know it means a lot. I’m just glad I could be there for you. Not as glad as I am.

Damn it should. I’m slipping away by now. My, my memories. I’m trying, but I can’t do it. I can’t hold me neither. Oh my God. How, how, how do we help Stephan now? Oh,

OMG guys. Wtf.

Oh. Cue face, Megan. Hello Kate. Lovely to see you. Do I smell fish? I can’t believe it. Sorry. I’d love to stay in chat, but I’m late for a very important date. Mission accomplished my ass.

How’s it going? It is, as I said, it would be. Commander Michaels is like a heat seeking missile singularly focused on destroying his target, but only the target. My sister at that party press assured my boy Michaels is programmed only to harm. Stephan

keep thinking though, won’t everyone suspect Megan immediately? I mean, she brainwashed Michaels before, so yes, I took care of that. I just hope you didn’t let him go before he was fully ready. Remember the disaster was Stephan. Rest assured my boy. My work may be experimental in nature, but the procedure is complete when you will be a happy beneficiary.

Yes, yes. Steph will be gone. Gabby will be mine again, and this time my hands will be completely clean. Hey, where is the host? I mean, people are starting to get a little restless honored. Guests welcome now. Please accept my apologies for the delay in order to make this a really special night tonight. I had to bring a bottle of my father’s very favorite champagne.

Just took me a little longer to get it than I expected, but I’m here now and I’m so glad that you are all here too, because there is nothing in this world more important than family is there. I am so grateful. But you have all welcomed me back into your bosom,

and I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to host this lovely gathering for my newfound brother and his gorgeous bride to be. And I just know that father is smiling down on us now. Happy to see us all together again. Whoa. At least most of us. Yeah, very few of us. And yes, I know that we have our differences, but we overcome them, don’t we?

That’s what families do. Well, normal families like yours. My sister Megan, she’s an assassin. Thomas Banks had to kill us, so all those things are a little bit hard to overcome. Mm-hmm. I am so sorry for all of the lost years that we could have spent together, but I look forward to the many, many happy years to come.

And now I want everyone to grab a glass of champagne so we can toast the happy couple, the lovely Gabriela and my charming brother Stephan. Oh my God. Paris Michaels. What the hell are you doing here?

Update written by Joseph

Tripp talks on the phone to Steve, telling him how sorry he is to hear about Abe. Tripp notes that Abe was pretty much family to most of the town.

Eric enters the DiMera Mansion and tells Nicole that he wanted to come see her as soon as he heard about Abe. Nicole asks what about Abe.

Chloe and Xander eat together at their apartment but Xander says he doesn’t have much of an appetite. Chloe calls that unusual and asks if it’s about finding out that Gwen is getting married. Xander admits it was a bit of a shock. Chloe asks if he wants to talk about it.

Leo questions Dimitri’s proposal to Gwen and asks where the ring is. Dimitri agrees and says to let him do this the proper way. Dimitri then gets down on one knee to propose to Gwen. Leo says the answer is a hard no. Leo admits the ring is huge but insists there is no way that Gwen is accepting his proposal. Dimitri asks what Gwen says. Leo says he first has his own question, like what the hell is actually happening here.

Xander tells Chloe that there’s nothing to talk about. Chloe says he doesn’t have to pretend not to care about Gwen. Xander says he only cares but he doesn’t feel good about hurting her and admits she has been through a lot, so she does deserve some happiness. Xander argues that Gwen and Dimitri have known each other for five minutes and questions how he can make her happy. Chloe asks if he’s talked to Gwen about it. Xander says they are hardly on good terms. Chloe comments on Xander still being protective of Gwen. Xander says Gwen can make her own decisions, he just doesn’t want her to end up making one that she will regret for the rest of her life.

Sloan visits Colin in the interrogation room. Colin reiterates that he’s going to take his chances at trial. Sloan states that she came to inform him that Abe Carver is dead.

Eric shocks Nicole by revealing that Abe is dead, noting that they haven’t recovered his body yet but they have a witness who says they saw Abe fall off the docks in to the water. Nicole argues that he could’ve survived then. Eric calls it very unlikely and adds that Rafe and Eli found Abe’s blood and his hospital bracelet at the scene. Nicole says she can’t believe this even though she knew it was possible when he went missing. Eric apologizes as he thought she knew. Nicole holds back tears and repeats that she can’t believe this to be true. Eric notes that Abe loved Nicole so much.

Wendy thanks him for a wonderful dinner. Tripp brings up revisiting their goodnight kiss that got interrupted when Johnny called to cancel their date. Wendy thinks that would not be wrong at all as they kiss.

Chloe talks about spending a good portion of her life in relationships with men who are conflicted, unavailable, or a hot mess. Xander assures that she should not worry about he and Gwen.

Xander then admits that Sarah may always be the one that got away.

Nicole finishes a call with her brother Brandon about Abe. Nicole can’t imagine what Theo must be feeling right now and wants to check on him. Eric tells her to let him know if she needs anything. Nicole thanks him for checking on her and says it means a lot. Eric reveals that it was actually Sloan’s idea which Nicole questions. Eric explains that they were together when he got the news about Abe and he mentioned how close Abe and Nicole were, so Sloan said he needed to come see her right away. Nicole admits that was nice of her and jokes that maybe Sloan does have a heart. Nicole then remarks that Eric probably already knew that since he’s trying to have a baby with her.

Colin tells Sloan that Abe being dead is the best news he’s heard all day. Colin calls it tragic and says he didn’t have anything personal against him but argues that he was asking for it by marrying in to the family who destroyed their family and continuing to support Chanel and Paulina. Sloan questions that making him happy. Colin responds that he’s all for anything that causes Chanel and Paulina to suffer and now they know what it’s like to lose someone they love. Sloan complains that she’s not going to sit here while he dances on a man’s grave. Colin mocks Sloan having an epiphany and deciding that all was forgiven. Colin asks if Sloan is on the path of righteousness now. Sloan thinks back to faking the paternity test. Colin asks what she’s thinking about. Sloan responds that she’s not all goodness and light at all as she calls herself a complete hypocrite.

Gwen tells Dimitri that he doesn’t have to answer Leo. Dimitri says he will address Leo’s concerns. Dimitri declares that he’s fallen head over heels in love with Gwen and he wants to marry her because she’s the most captivating and fascinating creature he’s ever met, so nothing will make him happier than knowing she is his forever. Leo asks how gullible he thinks they are and insists that he has an ulterior motive. Dimitri thinks back to leaving Megan a voicemail about their plan. Dimitri says it’s clear that Leo is a loyal and devoted friend of Gwen’s and he’s sure it hasn’t been easy to watch various men of questionable character cause her pain. Dimitri argues that he and Leo aren’t enemies, they are allies because they want the same exact thing and that is to see Gwen happy and safe. Dimitri claims there is nothing in the world that he wants more than to marry Gwen, but if she can’t find it in her heart to accept then he will withdraw his proposal. Gwen realizes that Dimitri was just trying to get Leo to stop being a pain in the ass, but she does not need anyone’s blessing to marry him. Dimitri says he would hate to ever put her in the position of choosing between him and Leo. Dimitri acknowledges that this all happened very fast and asks Leo to avoid judgment to give him the opportunity to finally give Gwen the happiness that she deserves.

Chloe acknowledges that Xander has always been honest with her about Sarah. Xander says that Chloe has always been the same about Brady. Chloe states that’s why they have been taking things slow, but she wants to move on. Xander says he does too and he knows what’s going on between them is brand new but it feels right. Chloe says it does to her too. Chloe adds that she was just talking to Nicole about this. Chloe admits that Nicole wasn’t thrilled but she told her that she won’t talk her out of exploring things with him. Chloe adds that Nicole didn’t agree to back off, but they talked and she felt like it was acceptance. Chloe then brings up that Nicole asked if they have slept together. Chloe says she was vague as she doesn’t kiss and tell. Xander then kisses Chloe.

Tripp and Wendy continue kissing until they are interrupted by a knock at the door. Wendy answers the door to see Johnny.

Colin asks Sloan how she is a hypocrite, insisting that she can tell him anything. Sloan responds that she did something that might really hurt Eric. Colin guesses she was screwing around since she’s not a one man kind of girl. Sloan says with Eric, it’s different. Colin asks if she’s finally found someone she’s serious about. Sloan confirms that she loves Eric. Colin asks how bad what she did was. Sloan says it doesn’t matter but Colin urges her to confess to him on how she sinned against Eric. Sloan then reveals that Eric’s ex-wife Nicole is pregnant and the child could be his.

Eric knows Nicole thinks his relationship with Sloan is a bad idea. Nicole stops him and says he doesn’t owe her an explanation. Eric remarks that it seems like she needs one. Nicole says she was just thrown off guard when Sloan blurted out that they were trying to have a baby. Nicole wonders if Sloan was just trying to get a rise out of her, but Eric thinks that Sloan is just excited about the idea. Nicole asks if having a baby was Sloan’s idea. Eric says they came to it together. Eric admits that Sloan saw how disappointed he was when he found out Nicole’s baby was EJ’s. Nicole knows Eric has always wanted to be a father but she wasn’t sure since they both know how complicated this would’ve been. Eric knows somehow they would have made it work, so he admits that part of him was hoping her baby was his. Nicole then gets a sudden stomach pain.

Sloan explains to Colin that she swabbed her own cheek and that’s what the lab got sent so neither Eric or EJ were actually tested. Colin encourages that she got what she wanted and Eric is free to be with her but Sloan says she feels terrible about it. Colin points out that she doesn’t feel terrible enough to tell the truth. Sloan talks about everyone she’s lost, her parents and now Colin going away to prison, so she was terrified of losing Eric to Nicole. Sloan says Eric has always wanted to be a father and he has decades of history with Nicole. Colin feels she was leveling the playing field and that she did what she had to do to hold on to someone she loves and there’s no shame in that. Sloan feels there is shame in deception. Sloan encourages her to let it go and enjoy the victory because after everything they’ve been through, she deserves a win. Sloan tells Colin that she wants to make up for what she did by giving Eric a baby that they know for sure is his.

Nicole gets through her pain. Eric asks if she’s sure she’s okay. Nicole assures that the pain has passed. Eric asks if she wants to get checked out but Nicole declines and blames her lunch. Nicole then gets another pain so Eric says he’s going to find EJ. Nicole stops Eric and says he isn’t going to find him as he hasn’t been here for awhile which is why she was upset when he first came in. Eric asks where EJ is. Nicole responds that he went away on a last minute business trip and she hasn’t heard from him since. Eric questions EJ not calling. Nicole says it’s just been the occasional text. Eric asks where he is or when he’s coming back. Nicole says he hasn’t said. Eric questions what the hell EJ is up to and if he’s bailing out on her and the pregnancy. Nicole doesn’t want to talk about it. Nicole continues feeling pain, so Eric decides that he’s taking her to the hospital and walks her out of the mansion.

Leo brings up that Dimitri wanted his head on a spike not long ago, but now he wants his blessing to marry Gwen. Dimitri states that he was rightfully upset with him for costing him the emerald, but now things have changed and Gwen is the only treasure that matters to him. Gwen calls that awfully sweet. Dimitri asks Leo if they can put their differences behind them since he’s clearly very important to Gwen which makes him very important to him. Leo admits that he said all the right things even if it all rang hollow. Leo adds that maybe he is overly cynical and distrustful because of his parents. Leo reluctantly agrees to allow the marriage against his better judgment. Gwen mocks needing his permission and reminds them that she hasn’t given Dimitri an answer yet. Gwen jokes that now that Dimitri and Leo have made up, maybe they should ride off in to the sunset. Dimitri says he’s pretty sure he and Gwen are the better couple. Dimitri tells Gwen that he loves her but she doesn’t have to answer him right now. Dimitri notes that tonight, his mother is throwing an engagement party for Stefan and Gabi, so nothing would make him happier than having Gwen on his arm. Dimitri suggests maybe the happy occasion will inspire her to accept his ring.

Wendy tells Johnny that she thought he was staying with Chanel. Johnny says Paulina came home, so he left to give them some privacy. Tripp asks how Chanel is doing. Johnny says she’s not great as it’s a terrible loss for all of them. Wendy says she’s so sorry for what they are going through. Johnny hoped that he and Wendy could still go out for dinner or catch a movie. Wendy informs him that she already ate with Tripp. Johnny asks if he was interrupting something. Wendy admits that he was because when he called to cancel, she made plans with Tripp. Johnny guesses he should leave them to it then, but Tripp gets called in to work at the hospital. Tripp tells Wendy that he had a really great time tonight. Wendy says she did too and they kiss. Tripp suggests tomorrow they can pick up where they left off. Tripp then goes to get ready as Johnny wishes him luck. Johnny tells Wendy that it seems she’s available tonight after all and invites her for dessert.

Xander and Chloe continue kissing. Xander asks if she still wants to take things slow. Chloe responds that this feels right. Xander says he can see where this is going but he doesn’t want to rush her. Chloe asks if he wants to wait. Xander says not even a little bit and they continue kissing. Xander stops and takes his shirt off. Chloe asks why here and if he wants their first time to be on a couch. Xander admits he doesn’t and asks if she wants her bed or his as they continue kissing.

Gwen accepts Dimitri’s invitation to the engagement party and says to put a pause on the proposal. Gwen hopes that doesn’t disappoint him. Dimitri says he can’t be disappointed as they will be together tonight. Dimitri adds that maybe sometime soon, they could be together every evening as he kisses her. Leo tells them to get a room as they continue kissing.

Johnny and Wendy have dessert in the town square.

Tripp works at the hospital as Eric brings Nicole in and says she needs a doctor right away. Nicole explains to Tripp that she’s 2 months pregnant, has a searing pain and a history of miscarriages so this is a high risk pregnancy. Tripp hurries them to an exam room.

Xander and Chloe continue kissing until they decide on going to her bedroom. Xander carries Chloe in as they continue kissing on to her bed and they undress each other then they have sex.

Leo repeats to Gwen that he just wants her to be happy. Gwen thanks him and promises to tell him if anything happens at the engagement party. Gwen goes to get dressed. Leo remarks to himself that he hopes this works out for Gwen because usually when a guy seems too good to be true, he’s no good.

Dimitri exits the Salem Inn and comes across Johnny and Wendy in the town square. Dimitri calls Johnny his favorite young cousin. Johnny introduces Dimitri as the cousin he just found out he had, to Wendy. Johnny points out that they are on a date and hoping for some alone time. Dimitri says he was just stopping by to see if he was coming to the party. Johnny questions what party that would be. Dimitri informs him of the engagement party that Megan is throwing for Stefan and Gabi at the Bistro. Johnny starts to say they have plans but Wendy says she would love a party. Wendy points out that it might be a little weird since she was almost Gabi’s sister-in-law but she really likes her and she’s glad that Gabi is marrying the man she loves. Johnny tells Dimitri that they will see him at the party then.

Colin questions if Sloan is trying to have a baby with Eric just to hold on to him and calls that desperate. Sloan argues that is not what she’s doing. Colin asks if she’s sure. Sloan responds that she loves Eric and feels guilty about costing him the chance to be a dad. Colin points out that she wasn’t sure the baby actually is Eric’s. Sloan agrees and says the point is that Eric desperately wants to be a father. Colin asks if she wants to be a mother. Sloan repeats that Colin is the only family she has left, so she wants her family to grow. Sloan adds that if her child has Eric as a father, they have a real chance at being happy. Colin decides he hopes it happens then and that Nicole’s baby isn’t Eric’s. Sloan responds that either way, she fixed it so that no one will ever know.

Tripp tells Nicole that her vitals all look good but they should get blood work and a sonogram to see what’s going on with the pregnancy. Tripp goes to find the OB on call and leaves the room as they thank him. Eric wonders if Tripp assumes he’s the father. Nicole says that doesn’t matter. Eric agrees and says he’s here for her and the baby. Nicole thanks Eric for being there as she doesn’t know what she would do if she was alone right now. Eric says she doesn’t need to worry about that.

Xander and Chloe kiss in bed after having sex. Chloe says so much for taking it slow. Xander assures that he has no regrets about what they just did. Chloe suggests they do it again as they continue kissing.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 Dad, I’m, I’m so sorry to hear about Abe. I know how much you, and you and Kayla loved him.

Yeah. I mean, he was pretty much family for most of the town.

Eric, what are you doing here? I wanted to come see you as soon as I heard about Abe. What about Abe?

You hardly touched your burger friend. That’s unusual for you. Yeah. That kind have a big lunch. Is it that, or is it because you had that run-in, in front of the pub, finding out that Gwen’s getting married? That was a bit of a shock. Do you wanna talk about it?

Do you are asking me to marry you officially? Okay. What the hell kind of proposal was that? What was wrong with it? For starters, I don’t see a ring, and I have a rule. If a man isn’t willing to go down on bended knee, he is not a man worth marrying. You know what stuck? You are absolutely right. Forgive me Gwen, let me do this the proper way.

Oh wow. That is a, that’s a large diamond. That is a very, very large diamond. Now allow me a second chance, Gwen Sek, who you do me the great honor of becoming my wife. The answer is a hard no.

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

God’s sake, mate. Okay? That thing is huge. The ring, I mean, but I’m sorry, Freo, you’ve wasted the money you worked so hard to inherit because there is no way Gwen is accepting your proposal. Damn it. Matt. How do you say? Hell no. And Almanian, you are aware that I’m proposing to Gwen and not you. So Gwen, what do you say?

Well, well, Gwenny, before you answer that, I have a question of my own that needs answering. Like what? Like what the hell is actually happening here?

When’s getting married to some eurotrash phony? What is it to talk about? Just like that my appetite came back. You know, you don’t have to pretend like you don’t care about her. Chloe, I only care about her because when we were together I ended up really hurting her. I feel good about that. In spite of everything she’s done, Gwen has been through a lot.

She deserves some happiness. And you don’t think the man she’s mirroring can give her that they’ve known each other for all of five seconds? I mean, how can it possibly work out? It’s all too fast. Did you tell Gwen that? I haven’t talked about it. She and I are hardly on good terms. I told him if you done anything to her, Gwen, you’ll answer to me.

So you’re still very protective of her. Gwen’s a grown woman. She can make her own decisions. I just, I don’t want her to make one that she’ll end up regretting for the rest of her life.

If you are here to try and convince me to change my plea, save your breath. I’m gonna take my chance at trial as your lawyer. I’m well aware of your position, so this is just a sisterly visit. Then I came to give you some news. Abe Carver is dead.

Abe is,

he’s dead. They haven’t recovered his body yet, but they have a witness who said he saw hate fall off the docks of the water. Okay. Well, he, he could have survived that, right? It’s very unlikely they said he could have already been injured. Raven and Eli said they found his blood and a hospital bracelet at the scene.

No way. Bye. I can’t, I can’t, I can’t believe this. I, I mean, I, I knew it was a possibility when he went missing, but, but still, I, I didn’t, I didn’t let myself think that I, I’m so sorry, Nicole. I just, I thought you knew.

He, you be, I, I, I, I mean, I, I can’t, I can’t believe this. To be true because he, he was the dearest est man. I He loved you so much. Yeah.

And having him in my life meant so much to me. I, I mean, having someone in, in, in my corner no matter what, and even when I felt all alone, I always, always had Abe.

And no matter how much I disappointed him through the years, he never judged me because you are like a daughtered him. Oh my god.

What am I gonna do without him?

Oh God.

So awful about Abe and the way that he died. Yeah. Such a tragedy. And I feel so bad for his family, my dad and Kayla,

I’m glad to be here with you.

I’m glad to. And thank you for a wonderful dinner. Oh no, this is just fish tacos. Uh, no, just fish tacos is something you get at your local fast food chain. Okay? What you put on this plate made me feel like I was sitting on a cliff overlooking a beach in Mexico. Well, no think you’re not. Maybe not a little thick, but I’ll take it.

Who knows? Maybe we’ll uh, go there together for real sometime. I’d like that. But for now, this, uh, this date was a pretty good placeholder

one. I was just wondering if, uh, to be wrong, to revisit that goodnight kiss. When they got interrupted, you mean when Johnny called to cancel our date? Yeah, that’s what I mean. So what do you think?

I think it would not be wrong at all.

So on a scale of one to 10, Sorry, what? On a scale of one to 10, how worried do I have to be about how protective you are of your ex? Wait, do you really want a number? Well, I’ve spent a good portion of my life in romantic relationships with men who are, um, unavailable or conflicted, or just a plain hot mess.

So I figure we should just get it all out onto the table. Chloe, you should not worry about me and Gwen. So is that a one? It’s a zero. Look, I admit I was thrown to find out that she’s getting married, but no, I’m totally over, Gwen. Okay, that’s, that’s good to hear. However, in the spirit of. Total honesty. I should admit that maybe Sarah will always be the one that got away,

and I will always think of him as a father no matter how long ago things ended with him and mom. Yeah, you too. And we’ll, we’ll video chat later. Okay. I love you too, Brandon.

You already knew about Abe. Theo told him, oh, I can’t imagine what he must be feeling right now. I should check on him. Yeah, I think you should be with your family. Just let me know if you need anything because you’ll be there for me. Thank you for checking on me. It means a lot. Actually it was Sloan’s idea Sloan.

She and I were together when I found out. I just, I mentioned how close you and Abe were and so said I needed to come see you right away. Oh, no, that was nice of her. Maybe she does have a heart, but you probably already knew that since you’re trying to have a baby with her.

No, that, that is the best news I’ve heard all day, Colin, a man is dead. And, and that’s, that’s tragic. I mean, I, I guess I, I didn’t have anything personal against Abe Carver. Uh, you bashed his skull and with a rolling pin in the wrong place, wrong time. And honestly, he was asking for it by marrying into the family that destroyed ours and continuing to support Chanel and their mother after we’d found out what they’d done.

So that makes you happy. I’m all for anything that causes Chanel, Dupree and Pauline and Price to suffer, and now they know what it feels like to lose someone you love. Dammit, Colin, I’m not gonna sit here while you dance on the man’s grave. I’m sorry. I forgot you had an epiphany and decided they’re always forgiven.

They’re on the path to righteousness. Oh goodness. And life

Sloan. Where, where did you go? What are you thinking about? No, I just said, um, I’m, uh, I’m not, All goodness and light at all. Actually, I’m a complete hypocrite.

You don’t have to answer him, Dimitri. Oh, no, no. It’s all right. You’re a friend. Well, he has doubts about my intentions, and I’m willing to address those doubts. Very unconvincingly, I’m sure. Oh, whether you’re convinced or not, Maddie. But, uh, today you don’t get to call me that. Only GW gets to call me. That fine Leo.

The truth of the matter is that I have fallen head over heels in love with this glorious woman, and I wanna marry her because she’s the most interesting and utterly captivating creature that I have ever met. And nothing will make me happier than knowing that she is mine forever and ever, and ever and always.

That’s you addressing my doubts. By laying on the schmalz with a trowel, how gullible do you think we are? Hey, what? What? Hey, look, as someone who knows a thing or two about laying on the schmalz and almost always has an ulterior motive, I could smell this man’s ulterior von Motive from a kilometer away.

Yes. Hello, mother. It’s your son, Dimitri, yet again. Yeah, I think it’s a little odd that for the last month you have done nothing but nonstop nag for me to bag a wife so that you get your hands on this funnel, your fortune, and you will not answer my calls or call me back to tell you exactly what it is that you want to hear.

I asked the risk check woman to marry me. She hasn’t accepted the proposal quite yet, but let’s just say I am very confident that you will. Leo, it is clear that you are a loyal and devoted friend of Gwen’s, and I’m sure it hasn’t been easy having to watch over the years as various men of questionable character have caused her pain.

Yep. Just like the man of questionable character standing right in front of me. But what you don’t realize is that you and I we’re not enemies. We are allies because we want the same exact thing. Oh, please. And that is to see. This rare and, and wondrous woman whom we both love, happy and safe. Now, there is nothing in this world that I want more than to marry you, Gwen.

But if you can’t find it within your heart to grant us your blessing, well then I will withdraw my proposal once.

I realize that you were just trying to get Matty to stop being an absolutely royal pain in the ass, but, um, I will have, you know that I do not need his or any man’s blessing to marry you. Now, yes, of course. I, I didn’t mean to offend you, but it’s just that I know how close you and Leo are, and I would hate to ever put you in the position of having to choose between me and your friend because you know damn well that she would choose me.

Nabi, please stop it, Leo. Now I know that this is all happening very fast. What is, you mean you suddenly getting physical with me and staring into my eyes? No, I mean, somebody falling in love with your BFF and proposing to her. Oh that. Mm-hmm. And if Gwen does decide to be my bride, do you think you could reserve judgment and allow me the opportunity of finally giving her the happiness that she’s earned?

So do you need a number for how worried you should be about me and Sarah? Huh? No. You’ve always been honest with me about her. Just like you’ve always been honest with me about your feelings for Brady. Which is why we’ve been taking it slow. And slow is good, right? Yeah, it is. Uh, it was, but uh, I wanna move on.

That’s fair. I mean, I know what’s going on between us. It’s brand new, but I, it just feels right. It does to me too. I’m so glad to hear you say that. Actually, I was just talking to Nicole about this, huh? Well, I bet she was thrilled. Oh yeah. Really thrilled. Yeah. No, not at all. But I did tell her that even though she’s one of my best friends, she is.

Not gonna talk me out of exploring things with you. So she agreed to back off? No, not at all. But we did talk. She asked me questions, she gave me her opinions. And um, you know, we talked about you like any other relationship, and I feel like that’s a semblance of acceptance. My resignation. What does she ask?

You know, the usual. Okay. Like one of the first things she asked was whether we had slept together. And what did you tell her? I was vague. I’m a lady. I do not kiss and tell. That’s good to know. Wait, does that mean that you’re not gonna tell her about this?

I’ll go get rid of.

So tell how are you a Hypocrites loan?

Come on. You know, you can tell me anything.

I did something that might really hurt Eric. Let me guess. You were screwing around. What’s, no. Why would you say that? Because I know you and I know you’re not exactly a one man kind of girl. Yeah, it was with Eric. It’s different. He’s, he’s just not like any of the other guys I’ve been with. So you finally found someone you’re serious about.

Yeah. I love him. And now you are worried that you’ve done something that’s gonna come between you. How bad boy is it? Oh, it doesn’t. It doesn’t matter. Simon, come on. Your boyfriend would be the first one to tell you that confession is good for this whole. So tell Brother Colin, how are you sinned against Eric?

Eric’s ex-wife? Nicole Walker is pregnant and the child could be his.

I know you think my relationship with Sloan is a bad idea. No, stop. Sorry. I am sorry, I, you don’t owe me an explanation. Well, it seems like you need one. Well, I,

I was just thrown off guard when Sloan blurted out that you two were trying to have a baby. Okay. Was, I mean, was she just trying to get a rise outta me? No, I think it’s more than that. I think she’s excited about the idea.

Okay, well, having a baby, was it saloon’s idea? We came to it together. Slung saw, she saw how disappointed I was when we found out the baby was DJ’s.

You were I, I mean, uh, I know that you’ve always wanted to be a father. I just wasn’t sure, especially since we both know how complicated this would’ve been, right? But I know somehow we would’ve made it work.

Have to admit a part of me was hope, hoping that baby was mine.

Oh, ah, are you all right?

Oh,

So, so you’re telling me that this Nicole woman is pregnant with your boyfriend’s baby and she doesn’t know that it’s his, I said it might be his, it could still be EJ Damir, right? Because neither of them were actually tested. I swabbed my own cheek and that’s what the lab got sent. Interesting. So the only thing that we do know is that.

You are not the father of this child. I’m glad you find this so amusing. Come what you want me to feel? Sorry for you? You got what you wanted then you, Eric, is free to be with you. Yeah, but I feel terrible about it. Not terrible enough to tell the truth. Look, when I found out that Nicole was pregnant, I started thinking about everyone I’ve lost.

Mom, dad, and now you. I’m right here. For how long, Colin? You’re going away to prison. We see. Anyway, the point is, is I was terrified of losing Eric to Nicole cuz if he finds out that she’s carrying his child, then missed, a good guy will go running him back to her. Eric’s always wanted to be a father and he and Nicole have like just decades of history, so it’s bad.

So what you were doing was leveling the playing field. You did what you had to do to hold onto someone you love. There’s no shame in that. Sloan. Oh, there’s shame and deception, Colin. Just let it go. Enjoy the victory after everything that we’ve lost. You deserve a win. Yeah, I suppose I do. Just trying to make up for what I did.

You mean for taking away a baby from Eric? That might be his. And how are you gonna make up for that? By giving him a baby that we know for sure is his.

Oh, yeah. Okay. It’s, it’s gone. Are you sure you’re okay? You know what, I don’t, I don’t know what the pain was, but it’s passed. Well, do you want to go get it checked out? Oh. No, it was probably the peanut butter and onion sandwich I had for lunch. And the butter and onion. Yeah, with a cinnamon raisin bagel.

Oh, that sounds delicious. I know. Gray beans. I would explain it. Yeah. Ow. I’m gonna go find ej. No, no, no. You’re not gonna find him. Why? Well, he’s hasn’t been here for a while. That’s why I was so upset when he came in earlier. Where is he? I dunno. He went away on a last minute business trip and I haven’t heard from him since.

He hasn’t called, well he sent the occasional text. Where is he? Did he say when he was coming back? No. What the hell is he up to? Is he bailing out on you in this pregnancy? You know what, I don’t. I don’t wanna talk about it. Okay. Oh God. I’m taking you to the hospital. Come on.

Oh,

so not so long ago you wanted my head on a spike. Now you want my blessing to marry Gwen. Not to mention you’re warming up my shoulders. I was rightfully upset with you for costing me that emerald. But things have changed now. Gwen is the only treasure that matters to me. Oh, well that is awfully sweet, isn’t it?

Leo, in a dime store Saccharin kind of way. Aaliyah, please can we put our differences behind us? You’re clearly very important to the woman that I love and therefore, Very important to me. Okay, fine. Fine. You said all the right things, albeit in a very insincere way. So it all rang hollow, but maybe that is me just being overly cynical and mistrustful because my parents treated me like crap.

Consequently, I have never felt respected. Love didn’t have serious self-esteem issues. Oh, for God’s sake. Dimitri’s not your shrink, Matty. Well, forgive me for being open, honest, and authentic. And if Gwen had, let me finish, what I was going to say was,

I will allow this marriage against my better judgment. Wow. Wow. How very generous of you. Indeed. Thank you very much for your grudging permission, Matty. And might I remind you both that I have not given Dimitri Nancy yet, and given that you two have now kissed and made up, you know what? Maybe you two should just ride off into the sunset together.

You know what? I’m pretty sure that we are the better couple now, Gwen, I love you. I love you so much, but you don’t have to answer me right now. Tonight my mother is throwing an engagement party for another happy couple. My Uncle Stephan and his Gabriela, and nothing would make me happier than having you there on my arm.

Who knows? Maybe the romantic occasion will inspire you to accept this ring.

Johnny, I I thought you were staying with Chanel. Yeah, yeah. No, uh, Paulina came home, so I, I left to give him some privacy. How are Chanel doing? Not great. It’s a terrible loss for, for all of them. For, yeah. I’m so sorry for what they’re going through. Me too. Uh, but look, I was, uh, I was hoping that maybe you and I could still go out, grab some dinner, maybe catch a late movie I already ate.

I made fish tacos. Yeah. Oh, oh, I’m, I’m sorry. Was I, uh, was I interrupting something? Actually, you were, when you called and canceled. I made plans with Trip. Well, I better just, uh, leave you to him then. Great, great. What, what is it? Dr. Sitz has the flu. I had to go cover her shift. Like I, I really don’t wanna leave.

I had a really great time tonight. Me too.

Maybe tomorrow we can pick up where we left off Maybe. Johnny,

good luck.

Well, uh, it seems like you’re available tonight after all. Look, I know trip made dinner, so, uh, What do you say about getting some dessert?

So,

uh, Still wanna take things slow. Well, like you said, this feels right. It does. But I can see where this is going and I just, I don’t wanna rush you. Sorry. Do you wanna wait? Not even a little bit.

Whoa. What are you doing? Oh, I’m sorry. Did you wanna take my shirt off? No, I just went, why here? Uh, do you want her first time to be on the couch? No, I don’t. So, uh, you bed online.

Yes. Yes. Does that mean No. No. Wait, now I’m lost. As am I? Yes. To the party pause on the marriage proposal. Fair enough. I’m sorry if that disappoints you. Knowing that we’ll be together this evening, how can I possibly be disappointed and who knows? Sometime soon we’ll be together. Every evening,

get a room. You two just left this one.

Oh, what’s going on there, buddy? Oh, what? We asked for three scoops. I know you ordered, uh, strawberry, which whatever. I ordered chocolate because I’m not a monster. And the cookies and cream in the middle, we’re supposed to be sharing. Okay. Mm-hmm. I admit the sharing gene doesn’t exactly run in my family, but I could learn, are you sacrificing your cherry?

Well, that’s not much. I like you. And for the record, this is my first bite of cookies and cream. I won’t go beyond my half. Oh, you better not. I’m watching you Damara. Right. I got your shit.

Uh, trip. Hey, hey, hey guys. What’s going on, Nicole? She needs to doctor right away. What’s wrong? Uh, uh, I’m two months pregnant and I, I have a siring pain right here. I have a history of miscarriages. And this is a high risk pregnancy. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Okay. Look, Let’s get you to an exam room. Uh, see what’s happening tomorrow this way.

Okay. We didn’t, we didn’t make it very far. I’m working on it far to either bedroom. Sorry. I’m. Kind of eager. Okay. E eager is good. So your room, I didn’t make my bed and my room is super messy. Okay, well then let’s go make a mess of mine.

What do you think? I think Count Chola doesn’t deserve you looking that hot tonight. Come on. I thought you were gonna give him a chance. I am. I will. I But Gwynnie, I’ve said it before. It bears repeating. I just want you to be happy. Thank you, Matt. But listen, if anything juicy happens at the party tonight, I promise I will.

Text Lady Whistleblower post taste. You better.

Oh, I hope this one works out for me, buddy, because usually when a guy seems too good to be true, he’s no good at he coming.

Well, well, well, if it isn’t my favorite young cousin, oh, well, I am flattered Wendy Shin. This is my cousin who I just found out I had Dimitri Vaughn Locher. Nice to meet you. My pleasure is all mine. Looks like you’ve made some damage out of that Sunday. We’re on a date hoping for a little alone time.

Johnny. What we’re family, right. We can be honest with each other. Of course. I was just stopping by to see if you were coming to the party and what, what party might that be? The engagement party that my mother is throwing for your Uncle Stephan and Gabby Hernandez. It’s just at the bistro. Oh, well that sounds great.

But our plans are, I love a party. Do you wanna go? Sure. I mean, it might be a little weird since I was almost Gabby’s sister-in-law. Oh. But, um, I really like her and I’m glad that she’s marrying the man she loves. Wonderful. Hmm. Well, I guess that settles it We’ll, uh, see you at the party.

So wait, you, you are trying to have a baby with Eric just to hold onto him. That seems a bit desperate. That is not what I am doing. Are you sure? I love Eric and I feel guilty about costing him the chance to be a dad even though you are not sure that Nicole’s baby is actually his right. I. No. I mean, odds are it’s e J’s baby.

I mean, those two are actually together, you know? And Eric and Nicole, they hooked up once when they were both highest kites. But anyway, the point is, is that Eric desperately wants to be a father and you wanna be a mother. Yeah. You and I are. All our family has left. Of course. I want our family to grow, and if Eric is the father, then my.

Son or my daughter, she has a real chance at being happy,

and I hope it happens. I hope you have Eric’s baby and. Nicole’s baby isn’t his. Either way, I’ve fixed it so that neither Nicole or Eric or anyone else will ever know

your vitals all look good. Uh, but we should get some blood work in the sonogram, see what’s going on with the pregnancy. I’m gonna step out and find the be on call. So sit tight. Okay? Okay, thanks. Hang in there. Thanks.

I think the trip assumes that I’m the, oh, it’s that it doesn’t matter, right? What matters is that I’m here for you. The baby.

Thank you Eric for being here. I, I don’t know what I would do if I was alone right now. You don’t need to worry about that.

Wow. Well, so much for taking it slow. I can honestly say no. I don’t have a single regret about anything, just.

Do you? Maybe we should do it again and find out.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Hey, I’m glad I caught you. It’s me. Perfect timing. I just got home from work. Nice. Um, well I was just wondering if you had any plans for tonight? Not so far. Why? I thought I’d take you to dinner. Dinner tonight.

Yeah. Hey. Oh, I’m so glad you’re home. I just got back from court where I gave an hour long summation and three inch heels. Maybe you should take them off. I can’t wait. But the worst part about the summation was that the whole time my mind kept wandering really,

I kept thinking about you really, really?

And you know what I was thinking when I was thinking about you? What’s that?

How I can’t wait to make you a father.

Hi, Pedro. It’s, it’s me again. I, I was just wondering if he just checked in and told you when he might be back. Okay. Thank you. Knock, knock. Hey. Oh, Harold, let me, Chloe, this is such a nice surprise. It was good to see you. You too. I know that you had that appointment with a specialist yesterday. I wanted to know how it went.

Um, pretty well. I mean that the doctor thinks that I can carry this baby to term. That’s great news. Yeah. Nicole, I’m sure you and EJ are just thrilled. Well, I am, uh, I don’t know about ej. What’s that supposed to mean? I, I don’t know. I, I, I haven’t talked to him for days. It’s like he’s fallen off the face of the earth.

Yes. Hello mother. It’s your son, Dimitri, yet again? Yeah, I think it’s a little odd that for the last month you have done nothing but nonstop nag for me to bag a wife so that you get your hands on this funnel, your fortune, and you will not answer my calls or call me back to tell you exactly what it is that you want to hear.

I asked the risk check woman to marry me. She hasn’t accepted the proposal quite yet, but let’s just say I am very confident that she will.

Where’d you get those? The front desk. Apparently they were sent to our room. Now let’s find out which of my many suitors is trying to rekindle my flame. Oh, they’re for you. For me. From who? From whom? Kale Surprise or from Dimitri. Hoping these will inspire you to contemplate my proposal. Anxiously awaiting your answer, Dimitri Ha.

Fat chance dude, like you would consider marrying that guy. Actually, I am considering it.

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

So mother, if you give a damn at all about your son’s future, please give him a call back. Hey, uh, wait a minute. Are you Dimitri Von Weisner? I am. And you are Son Cook. Okay. I’ve never heard of you. I co-own the Spectator with Gwen Risk check. Couldn’t help but overhear your phone call just then. So you listened in on a private call.

Well, I listened in when I heard you say the word, a risk check, unusual name caught my attention. It was still a private call. Well, I only caught the tail end. You know the part where you said that you asked her to marry you.

You’re seriously considering marrying that tectonic twat. You don’t even know him. Well, I know him well enough in the biblical sense. You slept with him once and now you’re thinking of tying the knot. What does he have a magic penis? Well, it didn’t pull a rabbit out of a hand. Okay, then if he isn’t David Copperfield of the bedroom, why would you even think about marrying this guy?

Yeah, I’d love to have dinner with you. But I do need some time to get ready. Okay. Well, what do you say? I pick you up in one hour. Perfect. See you then.

Hey, Chanel, what’s the matter? It’s, it’s, Is he still missing? No, he’s, he’s dead.

You asked Gwen to marry you. You, you barely know her. She only interviewed you once. Oh, well it was an in-depth interview. You called her that risk check woman. Yes. If I’d called her my darling dearest Gwen, my mother would’ve no idea who I was talking about. Ah, and you seem to be more interested in my affairs to call than my own mother.

No contrary more to me. I don’t give a damn about you all your affairs. It’s Gwen. I’m worried about, obviously, and my question to you is, Mr. Cook, why do you care who Gwen marries?

I don’t understand why it’s considered to be so crazy to want to marry an attractive man. He finds me interesting and he, he wants to spend time with me. I’m an attractive man. I find you interesting. I wanna spend time with you, but I don’t think you should marry me. Yes, Matty. Dimitri and I don’t sit around gossiping about fashion and Harry styles tattoos, and how long have I been saying I need to just get over Sandra and finally move on with my life?

Well, it’s one thing to sleep with someone on the rebound, even to have a rebound thing, but you can’t have a rebound marriage. This is not a rebound. And the reason why I took so long to get over Xander is because I’ve just been waiting for the right man to just come along. And you think Hare Dimitri, who you’ve known for a nanosecond, is the right guy?

He might be. He, I mean, he takes all the boxes off, doesn’t he? He’s tall, he’s rich. He’s, he’s really handsome and he’s so romantic. I. He’s so romantic and after all, my beyond dysfunctional relationships, I have to say, it’s really nice to be the one being pursued like Katniss in the Hunger Games. I haven’t seen that, so I don’t understand the joke and I don’t plan to anyway.

God bloody hell, Matty look after the way I grew up and you know that. That’s why I’ve always thought that there was something wrong with me, and Dimitri understands that. Because he lived that as well and he sees me for me, who I am and he still wants me anyway. Look, Gwenie, I get wanting to have that kind of connection with someone, but I also get all too well how painful it is when you find out it was all just an occlusion.

What’s he saying? What I’ve been saying all along Gwen. This guy, he, he’s playing you. Why can’t you see that?

So EJ disappeared on this mysterious business trip and you haven’t heard from him since? Well, I’m, he texted me a few times saying that the trip went longer than he expected. That’s it. Well, when I asked, he said that he couldn’t go into detail. I mean, I, I. I get it. You know, Demira business is confidential.

Nicole, you are having that man’s baby. He doesn’t have to share his business affairs, but he does need to call you to see how you’re feeling, how you’re doing. I agree. I do. It is just that something’s off Chloe. I mean, he was so excited to have this baby and he was concerned about me and, and he’s the one who pushed me to go see the specialist, you know?

And now not only could he not be bothered to go to the appointment and he didn’t even bother to call to see how it went. Oh honey, I’m sorry. I just. I wanted a better father for my baby.

So you think we made a baby? Well, if we didn’t, it wasn’t due to lack of effort, we can always try again. You know, double our odds. Hmm.

You really want this, don’t you?

Sorry, Eric, I just can’t risk losing you to Nicole if this baby ends up being yours. That test has to come back negative.

Oh, I just, I know how bad you want this and how important it’s to you. Listen, having a baby, I mean, raising a child, it’s, it’s a big commitment. It’s a lifetime. I hope you’re doing this not just for me. No, I’m not. I

I want this for myself too. I want this for both of us.

Trip. I didn’t hear you come in. Oh, you were on the phone. I didn’t wanna interrupt you. So was that Johnny? Yeah. Sounded like you two were making a date. He asked me out to dinner tonight. Damn. Yeah, he beat me to the punch. You know I was gonna offer to make you dinner when you got home, but, uh, So I get for showering first.

Mm, sorry. So when are you expecting him? He’s picking me up in an hour. Okay. Then that gives us plenty of time for what hour date?

My God. What, what happened? I, I called Eli to see if there was any updates and he told me that, well, that they found blood on the docks and Abe’s hospital bracelet and that, and now he’s on his way to go. Tell Lonnie. Did they, did they find a body? No, but there was a witness who saw him go into the water and he never came back out.

And they, they haven’t found him, but they, they. They, they think you drown.

I just can’t believe it. It just, it doesn’t seem real. Abe was, uh, he was a great guy. He didn’t deserve this

well. Um, I should go. Um, Eli said that Jada and Ray were on their way to tell Mama, and so I, I, I have to be there so that she’s not alone. You sure you’re okay to drive? I have to be, I, I have to be there for my mom. She needs you in one piece. Come on. Lemme take you

Eric. I meant what I said before. Both my parents are dead Collins in jail probably for a very long time. I mean, the odds of him having kids are pretty slim. I’ve got no cousins. I’ve. I know uncles or aunts when she’s, I really have no extended family, so if I wanna be surrounded by family, I have to create that for myself.

I’m a big family and they drive me crazy, and I can’t imagine life without them. I envy that my family. You know, which is pretty obvious was messed up. But raising a baby with you would gimme a chance to kinda move past all of that, you know, make up for the mistakes that my family and die made.

It’s, I just feel like it would be, Chance at redemption. Yeah. That, in other words, I mean, if I, if I can be a good mom, maybe I can be a good person.

You know what may, maybe I, I’m being too hard on ej too hard. You literally just said it was his idea for you to see that specialist and then when the appointment comes, he just flakes. Well, I, I mean, he had a good reason I. A business trip. Look, it’s, it’s the company. It’s, it’s the de mere legacy. It means a lot to him.

And it’s not like I didn’t know exactly who he was when we got back together. I mean, I was married to the man twice, so. You’ve accepted him. Flaws and all

I have. Okay. And I think that you should accept the fact that I have done the same with Sander.

I care who grand marries because we used to be involved. In fact, we were nearly married newly. It didn’t work out, obviously. Obviously. Yes. Your law seems to be my gain. Sander. Xander. Yes. Xander. That does ring a bell. And yet you said you never heard of me. Well, it didn’t register at first, but now it does.

Yes. Gwen told me all about your history. She told me all about how you hurt her and now how she’s doing everything in her power to move on from you.

You think Dimitri’s playing me. For God’s sakes, Quinnie, I’ve been saying that all along. Why is my thinking that this guy is a devious dirt bag news to you? Why is my thinking that his wanting to marry you is not coming from a pure place and that schmuck’s heart surprising to you? Okay. Okay. It’s not a surprise to me.

I know that you have not trusted Dmitri from the start, but what you are not seeing here is that the relationship has changed. Oh, I’m seeing it. It’s gone from casual and terrible to serious and alarming. Will you just listen to me please? Me writing a favorable article about Dimitri is one thing, but him marrying me, I mean, how is that gonna earn him Any respect?

I’m an ex-con for God’s sake. I’ve screwed over half of the people that I know. Not to mention the fact that I don’t have a bloody dollar to my name. So what on earth do I have to offer him? How does he benefit from making me his wife? Can we have a date? I mean, you said Johnny’s not picking you up for an hour, right?

Right. But. I need time to get ready. It takes you a whole hour to get ready. Uh, no, but even if I hurry, it’s won’t be long before Johnny gets here. Okay. Then it’ll have to be a quick date. Come on. I don’t know. What do you say? We mean back here in 15 minutes for a 45 minute date. I bet you I can show you a better time in 45 minutes than Johnny could over a three course meal.

Okay. You’re alone. I’ll see you in 15 minutes.

What does me dating EJ have to do with you dating Xander? Well, if you know, if you’re okay with all the things that ejs done, Do you think that you should lighten up on Xander? You were kind of hard on him the other day with good reason. For God’s sake, Chloe, he kidnapped me and Holly and, and Bonnie and Susan, and he left you with a murderous drug, Lord, in Mexico I know.

And EJ kidnapped Sidney. Remember that? Look, we could spend the rest of this night cataloging all of ejs and Sanders crimes and. Trying to figure out who’s more appalling or whatever. But for the sake of our friendship, please, I think we should stay off of that topic. I, I think we should refrain from commenting on each other’s person of interest.

So you’re telling me that Xandr is likely to remain your person of interest. Possibly. So how serious is it? You don’t wanna know if it’s serious. You wanna know if I’ve slept in it well, have you? Not yet. Ah, I bet you’re going to.

Gwen and I had a complicated relationship. Complicated by the fact that she lied, cheated and fed my fiance psychosis, inducing drugs to sent her to a mental institution. Huh. So you were in a relationship with Gwen and had a fiance. It was a very complicated relationship. Yes. And it’s over now, and the fact that you still work with Gwen doesn’t change the fact that you have no right.

To anything in her personal life. That’s not your call. Well, let me put it this way for you, Xander. I don’t like it when people comment, let alone interfere. In my personal life, these people, they usually regret it. I make sure of that. Well, that’s wonderful. We have something in common cuz if someone hurts someone that I care about, then I do still care about Gwen.

They also end up regretting it, and I also make sure of it.

Look, I don’t know what Dimitri wants, but he sure as hell must, wants something. Wow. You really know how to flatter a girl, don’t you look gwenie. It’s not your self-esteem I’m worried about. It’s your happiness. I am trying to protect you from being a jilted bride. Again. That’s it. Darius. I married Darius because he needed a green card.

Maybe that’s what Dimitri needs since he’s from Transylvania or whatever. He’s not from bloody Transylvania. And where is he from? Last chance Iowa cut and shoot Texas. By the way, those are names of actual places I Googled. Weirdest American city names, committed them to memory to use for an occasion just like this.

Wow. How very, very clever of you. And now back to the point, it doesn’t matter where Dimitri’s from because he’s in this country legally, how legally, and even so maybe his visa’s about to expire or maybe just maybe he actually loves me and he does wanna spend the rest of his life with me. Did you ever think of that?

What are you thinking? Mm. I’m thinking I’m starving. Me too. You want to go down and get some dinner in the pub? Sure. But first, why don’t you call your mother? My mother? Why? Well, remember I told you a few weeks back. That I’d suggested the four of us having dinner. Yeah. You can invite her and John and we can tell them the good news that we’re trying to have a baby.

No, not on the first dinner. Maybe we should just kind of ease them into this. Okay. You’re right. You know what? I will call my mom and ask her if she and John are available for dinner tonight. How’s that? Mm-hmm.

Hey, mom, the reason why I’m calling is because Sloan and I wanted to know if you and John will join us for dinner tonight. What? What happened? What happened with Abe? Mama? Mama, you home?

I don’t think she’s here. Yeah, well, Eli told me that, that Jada and Ray were coming by. So what if she doesn’t know what happened to Abe

Jada? Hi. Um, yeah, yeah. Eli told me about Abe. Um, but I, I just got home and my mom’s not here. You did? Okay. Um, thanks for letting me know. It’s, it’s okay. Johnny’s here. Okay, thanks.

They, uh, they talked to your mom when they told her. She insisted on going down to the dock, so, They’re there with her now. Okay. Uh, you, you, you want me to drive you over there? Jada said that as best if I just stay here. That way when Mama comes home, she isn’t alone. But you, you don’t have to stay though.

I, I’m sure you probably already have planned, so it’s really okay. No, it’s not. I’m gonna stay here until your mom gets back.

Trip.

You look very lovely. Thanks. Ready for our date.

Okay. This one. Ah, okay. Okay.

What? Yeah, how did you do that? Carefully. Okay.

Which one? No. Oh yeah. What? Ret. Nice and quick.

Okay. Yeah, I saw that one coming. I usually don’t lose at this game. Oh really? Yeah.

Of course it is possible that Dimitri loves you. You are eminently lovable. It’s just not likely. Because you are eminently cynical. I am protective of my best friend is what I am. And look, don’t shoot the messenger. I’m just saying as someone who knows a thing or two about cons, I can spot one a mile away and gwenny this dude is up to something.

I will bet you my favorite Rainbow Chino shorts.

Is that a threat? It’s more like a promise. What are you gonna do? You’re gonna run a nasty article about me. Oh, that’s right. You haven’t been in town long enough to know about my past careers, have you? Well, I’ve had a few past careers myself. Great. I hope that experience serves you well, cuz if you do anything to hook win, spectator’s gonna be the least of your worries.

Look, I don’t know what’s gonna happen between Xander and me. We haven’t been together that long, obviously, and that would be a big step. And you mean sharing a bed with the man you already share an apartment with? Uh, okay. All right. Whatever you and Sander do is your business. Okay. Thank you for acknowledging that.

Mm-hmm. And speaking of, I have to go Sander’s picking up some dinner from the P, but I love you. And I hope that EJ comes home soon. Yeah, me too. Been a little lonely lately. Well, aside from whoever is hanging out in here, well, I’m always here for you all. I know. Thank you. Love you too. Yeah, yeah. Thanks for letting me know.

I’m sorry too.

Bye. Geez. What happened? Someone saw Abe Carver fall off the docks this afternoon. They’re sending divers in. They presume Dead. Dead. Oh my God. I’m so sorry. Has he just been wandering around this whole time? I’m not sure why. Oh. Cause I was thinking about what this means for my brother. I mean, when Abe went missing the, the first thing I thought of was, you know, Dick Collin killed him.

But if this all happened this afternoon, I mean, well, Collin’s in jail, this could be really good news for him. I’m so sorry, Eric. I was so insensitive. I know what Abe meant to you and your family and, and Colin caused them so much pain. I’m sorry. Yeah, I need to, but listen, I understand you love your brother.

Oh, no. What Nicole? He was like a father to her. She’s just, I know. I, I had no idea. She’s gonna take the snooze really hard when she finds out. I mean, she go see her. You want me to go see Nicole, Eric? She’s gonna need a friend right now. That’s very kind of you. And as you know, as a lawyer, you probably shouldn’t let that get around, but you’re a good purse.

No, you did it. I mean, you packed a whole date into 45 minutes. Well, I’m glad you enjoyed it. If you know the date’s not over yet. No, no, no. You can’t leave out the kiss. Goodnight

Johnny.

Hey, Johnny, are you on your way? Um, no, actually, uh, I, I ran into Chanel and she just found out that Abe is dead. What? Oh my God. Yeah. Um, I mean, you know, I saw her, she, she was so upset. I, I didn’t want her to drive. So I’m here at her mom’s apartment now. Um, she’s with the police, her, her mom. I mean, um, look, I, I don’t think I can leave Chanel alone.

No, no, of course not. And I don’t know when Pauline’s gonna be back, so I’m not really sure when I can get over there. Okay, Johnny, don’t worry about it. I’ll do it some other night. No, no. I’ll be there. No, look, I can’t imagine how Chanel must be feeling right now. You have to stay with her and you can’t just run out when her mom gets there.

You’re right, you’re right. I, uh, I can’t, um, I’m really sorry. Don’t be, I’m just really glad that you were there when she needed to. Thanks for being so understanding. I’ll, uh, I’ll call you later.

Was that Wendy? Yeah. Yeah, it was. Did you two have plans for the night?

I, I can’t believe it. A, was one of my dad’s best friends. Seemed like a lot of people left him, especially Chanel. I mean, she lost her own dad a while ago and he was the only father she had left.

Johnny, it’s so good of you to be here with me, but honestly, you don’t have to stay. Look, don’t worry about me. Okay. Look, I am happy to stay for as long as you need me. Sure. I’m sure there’s no way I’m leaving you.

Oh, hey, I, uh, got the spicy chicken sandwich extra pickles. Oh, thank you. Did you remember the hot sauce? Of course, yes. Is everything okay? Yeah, yeah, sure. You seem a little distracted. Yeah, I guess I have, I kind of a weird runin outside the pub. Really? Yeah, I was one. Dimitri v Ner. Looks like he and Gwenna getting married.

Did it ever occur to you to just. Keep your doubts to yourself and just wish me the best. I don’t keep my doubts to myself because I wish you the best, and marrying that card. Carrying conman would be a train wreck, a plane crash, a tsunami, followed by a winter ice storm, followed by a catastrophic typhoon.

Hi. Hi. Hi. I hope you don’t mind me stopping by. No, not at all. Oh, I see you got my flowers. Yes. Um, did. Um, they’re so lovely. Although next time you might wanna spring for a larger arrangement. Leo, weren’t you just leaving? No, I wasn’t.

Oh, he doesn’t bother me. One learns to simply ignore Ladies in waiting. Ignore me at your own peril. Von Leischner, by the way, I Googled that name. It’s derived from the German word fleisch, meaning meat, and the suffix’s man, meaning man. Thus, the word means butcher synonymous with terminator, slaughterer slayer.

Take your pick. What brings you by Dmitri? I was just in the neighborhood and I was wondering now that you’ve had a bit of time to, uh, think about it, would you do me the great honor of becoming my wife?

Oh, here’s to hoping you’re in there, baby. So I don’t have to feel so guilty about what I did to Eric’s paternity test. Uh, then again, maybe there’s no reason to feel guilty. Maybe EJ really is the father of Nicole’s baby. After all. Ej, I know you’re busy, but if you could let me know

if you, if you have. And the idea when you’ll be back,

dammit. Damn it. Dammit. The father of my baby does not walk through that door. In the next five minutes, I am gonna scream.

Xander reveals that he co-owns the Spectator with Gwen and he couldn’t help but overhear his phone call. Dimitri remarks that he listened in on a private phone call. Xander says he only caught the end where he said he asked Gwen to marry him.

Leo questions Gwen considering marrying Dimitri when she barely knows him and slept with him once. Leo asks why she would even think about it.

Wendy tells Johnny that she would love to have dinner with him but she does need time to get ready. Johnny agrees to pick her up in one hour and hangs up. Chanel then walks through the town square crying, so Johnny asks her what’s wrong. Chanel informs him that Abe is dead.

Xander questions Dimitri asking Gwen to marry him when he just met her and she only interviewed him once. Dimitri says it was an in depth interview. Dimitri comments that Xander seems more interested in his affairs than his own mother. Xander responds that he doesn’t give a damn about him or his affairs as it’s Gwen that he’s worried about. Dimitri questions why Xander cares who Gwen marries.

Gwen doesn’t understand why it’s so crazy to want to marry an attractive man who finds her interesting and wants to spend time with her. Leo argues that all applies to himself but he doesn’t think she should marry him. Gwen talks about needing to get over Xander. Leo argues that it’s one thing to have a rebound but she can’t have a rebound marriage. Gwen argues that it’s not a rebound and she took so long to get over Xander because she’s been waiting for the right man to come along. Leo questions thinking Dimitri is the right guy. Gwen says he might be and he ticks all the boxes. Gwen adds that he’s so romantic and it’s really nice to be the one pursued. Gwen talks about always thinking something was wrong with her after the way she grew up and Dimitri understands that but still wants her anyway. Leo gets wanting that connection but he also gets how painful it is when you find out it was all just an illusion. Gwen asks what he’s saying. Leo repeats that Dimitri is playing her and asks why she can’t see that.

Chloe asks Nicole about EJ disappearing on a mysterious business trip and not hearing from him since. Nicole says she got a few texts saying the trip went longer than expected but he couldn’t go in to detail. Chloe argues that Nicole is having EJ’s baby so he needs to call to see how she’s doing. Nicole agrees but says something is off because EJ was so excited about the baby and was concerned about her, but now he couldn’t be bothered to go to the appointment or to call to see how it went. Chloe tells her that she’s sorry. Nicole states that she just wanted a better father for her baby.

Sloan and Eric lay in bed after having sex. Sloan asks if he thinks they made a baby. Eric responds that if they didn’t, it wasn’t for lack of trying. Sloan jokes that they can always try again as they kiss. Eric comments on her really wanting this. Sloan thinks back to faking Eric’s paternity test. Sloan tells Eric that she knows how bad he wants it and how important it is to him. Eric tells her that having a baby and raising a child is a big commitment for a lifetime, so he hopes she’s not just doing it for him. Sloan assures that she wants it for herself too and they kiss.

Wendy tells Tripp that she didn’t hear him come in. Tripp says he didn’t want to interrupt her on the phone and guesses it was Johnny as it sounded like they were making a date. Wendy confirms that Johnny asked her out to dinner. Tripp says he beat him to the punch as he was going to make her dinner when she got home but that’s what he gets for showering first. Tripp adds that if Johnny is picking her up in an hour, that gives them plenty of time for their date.

Johnny asks Chanel what happened. Chanel explains that she called Eli for an update and he told her that they found blood on the docks and Abe’s hospital bracelet, so now he’s on his way to go tell Lani. Chanel notes that they didn’t find a body but there was a witness who said they saw Abe go in to the water. Chanel cries that they haven’t found him but they think he drowned. Johnny hugs Chanel as she cries. They sit down on the bench in the square as Chanel cries that it just doesn’t seem real. Johnny says Abe was a great guy who didn’t deserve this. Chanel says she should get going because Eli said Jada and Rafe were on their way to tell Paulina, so she should be there so that Paulina’s not alone. Johnny asks if she’s sure she’s okay to drive. Chanel responds that she has to be there for her mom. Johnny then offers to take her there so they walk off together.

Sloan tells Eric that she meant what she said before that both her parents are dead and Colin’s in jail for a long time while she has no cousins, uncles, or aunts, so she has no extended family. Sloan says if she wants to be surrounded by family, she has to create that for herself. Eric jokes that he has a big family and they drive him crazy, but he can’t imagine life without them. Sloan acknowledges that her family was messed up but she thinks raising a baby with him would give her a chance to move past all that and make up for the mistakes her family made. Sloan feels it would be a chance at redemption as if she could be a good mom then maybe she could be a good person.

Nicole tells Chloe that maybe she’s being too hard on EJ. Chloe questions EJ not going to the appointment that he arranged. Nicole feels he had a good reason since the company means a lot to him. Nicole adds that she knew exactly who EJ was when they got back together since she was married to him twice, so she has accepted him, flaws and all. Chloe says that Nicole should accept the fact that she’s done the same with Xander then.

Xander tells Dimitri that he cares who Gwen marries because they used to be involved and almost got married but it didn’t work out. Dimitri says Xander’s loss is his gain. Dimitri then recognizes Xander’s name and says that Gwen did tell him all about how he hurt her and now how she’s doing everything in her power to move on from him.

Gwen questions Leo thinking that Dimitri is playing her. Leo argues that he’s been saying that all along and asks why this is news to her or surprising to her. Gwen admits it’s not a surprise as she knows he hasn’t trusted Dimitri but says the relationship has changed. Gwen asks how marrying her would earn him any respect when she’s an ex-con who has screwed over half the people she knows and has no money, so she questions how Dimitri would benefit from marrying her.

Wendy asks Tripp how they can have a date. Tripp says that Johnny isn’t picking her up for an hour. Wendy says she still needs to get ready. Tripp says it will have to be a quick date then and bets that he can show her a better time in 45 minutes than Johnny could over a three course meal. Wendy tells him that he’s on and goes to get ready.

Nicole questions what her dating EJ has to do with Chloe dating Xander. Chloe says if Nicole is okay with all the things that EJ has done, she thinks she should lighten up on Xander. Nicole argues that Xander kidnapped her and Holly and Bonnie and Susan as well as leaving Chloe with a drug lord in Mexico. Chloe brings up that EJ kidnapped Sydney, so they could spend the whole night going over EJ and Xander’s crimes but she thinks they should stay off that topic and refrain from commenting on each others’ person of interest. Nicole questions if that means Xander is likely to remain Chloe’s person of interest. Chloe says possibly. Nicole asks how serious it is. Chloe thinks she just wants to know if she slept with him. Chloe admits she hasn’t yet. Nicole bets that she’s going to.

Xander tells Dimitri that he and Gwen had a complicated relationship that was complicated by her lying, cheating, and feeding his fiancée psychosis inducing drugs that sent her to a mental institution. Dimitri questions Xander being in a relationship with Gwen while also being engaged. Xander repeats that it was very complicated. Dimitri says it’s over now and the fact that he still works for Gwen doesn’t change the fact that he has no right to anything in her personal life. Xander says that’s not his call. Dimitri warns that he doesn’t like people interfering with his personal life. Xander warns him back about people hurting people that he cares about.

Leo tells Gwen that Dimitri must want something. Leo argues that he’s trying to protect her from being a jilted bride again. Leo remembers how he married Darius because he needed a green card and suggests maybe Dimitri needs one too. Gwen assures that Dimitri is in the country legally. Leo suggests maybe his VISA is about to expire. Gwen argues that maybe he does love her and wants to spend the rest of his life with her.

Eric asks what Sloan is thinking. Sloan says she’s starving so Eric suggests they go downstairs to get dinner at the Pub. Sloan suggests he first call Marlena, reminding him that she suggested having dinner with Marlena and John so he can invite them and share the good news that they are trying to have a baby. Eric doesn’t think they should do that on the first dinner and suggests easing them in to it. Sloan agrees but Eric says he will call Marlena to ask if she and John are available for dinner tonight. Eric then calls Marlena and says that he and Sloan wanted to know if she and John would join them for dinner tonight. Eric then asks her what happened with Abe.

Johnny brings Chanel home but Paulina’s not there. Chanel mentions that Eli said Jada and Rafe were on their way to tell her so she worries about if Paulina knows. Chanel then gets a call from Jada. They talk and Chanel thanks her for letting her know and then hangs up. Chanel informs Johnny that when they told Paulina, she insisted on going down to the docks so they are there with her now. Johnny offers to drive her there but Chanel says that Jada told her to stay home so that when Paulina comes home, she’s not alone. Jada tells Johnny that he doesn’t have to stay as she’s sure he already has plans so it’s okay. Johnny responds that it’s not and declares that he’s going to stay here until Paulina gets back.

Wendy comes back from her room and Tripp shows up at the door with flowers to ask if she’s ready for their date. Tripp and Wendy play Jenga and drink a shot.

Leo tells Gwen that it is possible that Dimitri loves her but it’s just not likely. Gwen calls him cynical. Leo argues that he’s just protective of his best friend and as someone who knows about cons, he can spot one a mile away. Leo bets that Dimitri is up to something.

Dimitri asks if Xander is threatening him. Xander calls it a promise. Dimitri asks if he’s going to write a nasty article about him. Xander states that Dimitri hasn’t been in town long enough to know about his past careers. Dimitri responds that he’s had a few past careers himself. Xander hopes that experience serves him well because if he does anything to hurt Gwen, the Spectator will be the least of his worries. Xander then walks away.

Chloe tells Nicole that she doesn’t know what’s going to happen between her and Xander as they haven’t been together that long and sleeping together would be a big step. Nicole jokes that they already share an apartment but agrees that whatever they do is their business. Chloe says she has to go since Xander is picking up dinner from the Pub. Chloe tells Nicole that she loves her and she hopes EJ comes home soon. Nicole admits she’s been a little lonely lately. Chloe says she’s always there for her as they hug.

Eric thanks Marlena for letting him know and says he’s sorry too as they hang up. Sloan asks what happened. Eric informs her that someone saw Abe Carver fall off the docks this afternoon, so they are sending divers in and presuming he’s dead. Sloan tells Eric that she’s so sorry and asks if he’s just been wandering around this whole time. Eric admits he’s not sure and asks why. Sloan wonders what it means for Colin since when Abe went missing, she first thought that Colin killed him, but this all happened while Colin was in jail then this could be good news for him. Sloan then quickly apologizes for being insensitive and acknowledges how much Abe meant to Eric and his family. Eric understands Sloan loves her brother. Eric then brings up Nicole and how Abe was like a father to her. Sloan says she had no idea. Eric knows Nicole will take the news really hard when she finds out. Sloan suggests Eric go see Nicole. Eric questions Sloan wanting him to do that. Sloan acknowledges that Nicole is going to need a friend. Eric calls that very kind of her and jokes that she shouldn’t let it get around that she’s a good person as he hugs her.

Wendy acknowledges that Tripp packed a whole date in to 45 minutes. Tripp is glad she enjoyed it but says it’s not over yet as they can’t leave out the kiss goodnight. They go to kiss but Wendy gets a call from Johnny. Wendy asks if he’s on his way. Johnny says no as he ran in to Chanel and she just found out that Abe is dead which shocks Wendy. Johnny explains that Chanel was so upset and he didn’t want her to drive so he’s at Paulina’s apartment. Johnny doesn’t think he can leave Chanel alone. Wendy says of course not. Johnny adds that he’s not sure when he will be able to come over. Wendy tells him not to worry about it and they’ll do it some other night. Johnny insists he’ll be there but Wendy says no as she can’t imagine how Chanel must be feeling, so he needs to be there and he can’t just run out when Paulina gets there. Johnny agrees that he can’t and tells Wendy that he’s really sorry. Wendy says she’s just really glad that he was there when Chanel needed him. Johnny thanks her for being so understanding and says he will call her later as they hang up. Chanel asks Johnny if he and Wendy had plans for the night.

Wendy informs Tripp about Abe. Tripp can’t believe it as Abe was one of Steve’s best friends. Wendy says it seems a lot of people loved Abe. Tripp brings up that Chanel had lost her own father, so Abe was the only father she had left.

Chanel tells Johnny that it’s so good of him to be there for her but he doesn’t have to stay. Johnny tells her not to worry about him as he’s happy to stay for as long as she needs him. Johnny assures there is no way he’s leaving her. Chanel hugs a framed photo of her and Abe.

Chloe goes home where Xander has dinner from the Pub. Chloe notices his mood and asks if everything is okay as he seems a little distracted. Xander tells her that he had a weird run in outside of the Pub with Dimitri and it looks like he and Gwen are getting married.

Gwen tells Leo to just keep his doubts to himself and wish her the best. Leo continues to argue against Gwen marrying Dimitri. Dimitri then shows up at the door. Gwen tries to get Leo to leave but he refuses. Dimitri says he’s learned to ignore Leo. Leo continues to argue with Dimitri. Gwen asks what brings him by. Dimitri says he was wondering, now that she had time to think about it, if she would do him the great honor of being his wife.

Sloan wonders if she and Eric made a baby, so she doesn’t have to feel guilty about what she did to his paternity test. Sloan then tells herself that maybe there’s no reason to feel guilty and maybe EJ is the father of Nicole’s baby after all.

Nicole starts trying to put together a text to EJ but throws her phone in frustration. Nicole declares that if the father of her baby does not walk through the door in the next five minutes, she’s going to scream. Eric then walks through the door.

Days of Our Lives Update

Update written by Joseph

Li brings Dr. Rolf to his lab and asks him how long it will take him to get up and running. Dr. Rolf says no time at all if he gets him the supplies he needs. Li assures that he will have top shelf equipment. Dr. Rolf notes that one vital component of his project is missing and that’s the subject that he wants him to work on. Li tells him to be patient as Harris will arrive very soon.

Megan walks through the park and runs in to Harris Michaels. Megan questions if he’s following her. Harris pulls a gun on her and declares that they have unfinished business. Megan asks if he wants her to cry and plead for her life. Megan states that she’s been expecting him as he specializes in gunning down the defenseless, bringing up the people he killed. Megan asks what he’s waiting for.

Theo goes to see Paulina, who asks if he has news. Theo informs her that a call just came in to the police station and Eli took off in a hurry with Rafe. Theo thinks it’s a lead to tie Whitley in to what happened to Abe.

Eli and Rafe inspect the pier. Eli says he doesn’t see anything while Rafe says they have to keep looking because right now, all they have is Jerry’s word.

Whitley tells Abe that she knows his visit with “Theo” was a bit stressful, so she suggests they just sit down and watch Body and Soul. Abe jokes that it’s hard for him to keep up with who is lying to who on the show. Whitley thinks back to her instructions to Jerry. Abe calls out to her and notes that she looks a million miles away.

Eli asks Jerry if he got a good look at the guy before he went in to the water. Jerry says it all happened so fast. Rafe tells him to do his best to describe him. Jerry says he was his height but older. Rafe shows him a photo of Abe and says that is who they are looking for. Jerry claims that it was him.

Harris tells Megan to calm down as nobody is getting shot. Harris points out that he only pulled the trigger on somebody that was unarmed was when Megan was messing with his head. Harris declares that Megan’s days of making people do what she wants are over. Harris says she is going somewhere to discover new levels of misery every single day. Megan asks why Harris is doing this. Harris says it’s to stop the insanity and to stop her from doing whatever she’s planning to Bo, Hope, or Kate. Megan says it’s funny that he should mention Kate and questions what her role is in this little stunt of his.

Kate tells Jada that she won’t pressure her in to sharing about her and Rafe, but she saw her face when she guessed that they were upstairs together. Kate brings up that a few hours earlier, Jada was sharing how she felt about Rafe. Jada mentions the rules in place to stop her from acting on those feelings. Kate says rules are meant to be broken and encourages her to share, joking that she won’t give up. Jada then explains that Rafe came over to give her some good news about her sister which was a huge relief. Jada admits one thing led to another but that’s all she’s going to say. Kate says she’s very happy for both of them and she hopes it works out for them. Kate asks where Jada is now. Jada says he had to go look for Abe and try to figure out what happened to him.

Rafe tells Eli that he’s not sure about Jerry as he seems a little nervous to him. Rafe still wants a dive team and forensics all over this. Eli tells Rafe to do what he needs but declares that he’s going in. Eli removes his shirt as Rafe argues that he can’t go in without scuba gear and proper equipment. Eli declares that if this was Abe, he needs to see for himself and dives in to the water against Rafe’s wishes.

Whitley claims to Abe that she was just thinking about how happy she is that his test results were so good. Whitley then plays the tape of Body and Soul but Abe decides he doesn’t want to watch the show. Abe points out that it’s a beautiful day outside and he wants to go to the park. Whitley argues that it’s hot outside and he just got out of the hospital so he’s nowhere near ready. Abe feels they can sit on a bench in the park, insisting that he’s up to that. Abe brings up how great she said his test results were. Abe asks her to help him get dressed so they can go out and see what he’s been missing.

Paulina asks Theo if maybe someone recognized Abe and that Rafe and Eli are on their way to finding him and bringing him back. Paulina exclaims that it would be great but decides she’s not getting her hopes up again as she can’t handle that. Theo sits her down and says he knows what she means, but hope is all they have, so until someone he trusts tells him that he will never see his dad again, he’s going to believe they will find him. Theo brings up when he got shot and went in a coma and no one knew if he would regain consciousness, but Kate told him that Abe never stopped believing he would come out of it and maybe that’s why he pulled through. Theo says maybe that’s exactly what Abe needs from them now, to never lose hope.

Eli comes out from the water and says he couldn’t see anything. Rafe suggests waiting for the divers. Eli argues that a man like Abe doesn’t just randomly hit his head and disappear. Rafe questions what Abe would be doing down here and how he got away from whoever grabbed him. Eli goes back to Jerry and asks if he’s sure it was Abe. Jerry says he guesses maybe. Eli grabs him and questions what he means. Eli explains that Abe is his wife’s father. Rafe tells Eli to take it easy. Jerry claims he was sure and as soon as he saw Abe’s picture, he knew. Rafe thanks Jerry for the information and says he doesn’t have to stick around but not to leave town because they will want to speak to him again, so Jerry then leaves the pier. Rafe reminds Eli that all they have is Jerry’s word. Eli brings up the blood stain and Abe’s hospital bracelet. Rafe notes that forensics hasn’t tested the blood yet. Eli knows they will follow up the evidence but says they can’t kid themselves as they both know how this ends.

Li tells Dr. Rolf to expect a delivery soon. Dr. Rolf is impressed with his preparation but points out that he has twice failed to produce Harris Michaels. Dr. Rolf says he would hate to have risked coming back for nothing. Li assures him that it wasn’t for nothing as it’s being handled by Megan DiMera herself. Li then exits the lab.

Harris tells Megan to forget about Kate as he’s doing this alone because he wants to be the one to make sure she gets what she deserves. Megan assures that she feels threatened but she can’t help wondering why he’s doing this now and what nudged him in to. Megan remembers how ruthless Kate has always been, so she guesses that Kate wants her dead but Harris held out for delivering her to her own private Siberia. Harris calls this conversation a waste of time and says her boat is waiting. Megan warns that he should’ve listened to Kate but he’s too much of a boy scout and was only effective when she was giving him his marching orders. Megan adds that Kate isn’t here and it’s just them and his gun. Megan wonders what Harris would do if she were to suddenly turn and run for her life. Megan questions if he really has it in him to shoot her in the back. Megan tries to run but Harris grabs her. Harris says he’s not going to shoot her, but she’s not going anywhere except where he is taking her. Harris asks how she’s going to spend all that time all alone in the middle of nowhere.

Kate asks Jada to take her mind off Abe for awhile by telling her about her and Rafe. Jada says there isn’t much to tell since it just happened but assures there are no regrets and they definitely want to be together, though they have to keep it between them and behind closed doors. Jada thanks Kate for her advice and adds that she’s grateful to Eli too since he apparently had a conversation with Rafe after picking up on the energy between them and gave him similar advice. Jada then gets a text from Rafe and tells Kate that she has to get to the docks. Kate wonders if it’s about Abe. Jada notes that he didn’t give any details. Jada reminds Kate that she can’t tell anyone about her and Rafe. Kate says that her life is not an open book either and assures that she knows how important it is to have someone you can trust, especially with your secrets. Jada then exits the Pub.

Harris tells Megan that it’s time to go. Megan asks if she doesn’t get a teary goodbye with Kate. Harris then gets shot from behind by a dart.

Whitley tells Abe that she knows how impatient he is to get better but he can barely walk. Abe suggests that she can take him in his wheelchair. Whitley reminds him that a man tried to kill him and he’s still out there, so she would feel guilty if she put him in danger. Abe argues that they’d be in a public park in broad daylight. Abe declares that he won’t live in fear or be a prisoner in his own home. Jerry returns, so Whitley asks him to convince Abe that it’s not a good idea to go out yet. Jerry responds that he actually thinks that’s a great idea and says he will help Abe get dressed.

Paulina talks to Theo about how she’s been worrying about herself and her stress when it’s Abe who is suffering the most, being away from his loved ones and likely scared out of his mind. Paulina says she will have to keep herself strong for Abe until he gets home. Theo says they both will. Paulina asks more about the call that Eli and Rafe got.

Jada joins Rafe and Eli at the docks and asks if it’s about Abe. Rafe confirms that the 911 caller said he saw a guy fall in to the water with a blood stain and they found Abe’s hospital ID bracelet. Rafe adds that the witness said that Abe was the guy he saw. Jada hopes there’s still a chance. Rafe doesn’t want to tell Paulina about any of this since it’s all circumstantial evidence and one guy’s statement. Rafe states that if there’s a body in the water, the divers will find it. Eli tells Rafe that he’s going to take the blood sample to be compared against Abe’s DNA at the hospital. Rafe then gets a call from Paulina. Rafe decides he has to let it go to voicemail because he can’t let her know what’s going on yet. Jada encourages that he did the right thing so she does not panic. Jada asks when the call came in and hopes it’s not when they were together. Rafe knows what she’s thinking but says if they came sooner, it wouldn’t have changed anything. Rafe declares that they are here now and they have a job to do, even if they might not like what they find.

Paulina leaves a message for Rafe, saying she’s sorry to bother him again but when Theo told her that he had a lead, she had to call. Paulina asks Rafe to call her back if anything happens even if it doesn’t seem important. Paulina adds that she’s filled with hope that he is on the verge of finding Abe and bringing him home to her where he belongs. Theo tells her that she did great and hugs her.

Jerry sends Abe to pick out a shirt and then returns to Whitley, who questions what he’s doing when she told him to back her up. Whitley reminds him that she hired him to make people think Abe is dead. Jerry says he did everything like she said and it’s going exactly like she wants it to so far, as the cops think Abe fell of the pier and drowned and they are using the evidence that he planted to prove it. Whitley asks what he means by “so far”. Jerry explains that when he left, they were calling in divers, crime scene investigators, and pouring everything they had in to it. Jerry adds that when he signed up for this, he thought it was an acting job to help a sick man but it somehow morphed in to a weird nightmare where he faked the mayor’s death and now he’s the one on the line with the cops. Jerry thinks that calls for a big raise. Whitley argues that she already paid him everything she’s got. Jerry warns that she better come up with something because if he doesn’t get the money that he wants, he’s going straight to the police station and blowing up her world.

Megan remarks that Harris should have shuffled her off when he had the chance. Harris responds that this changes nothing as he staggers from the dart. Megan asks if he’s wondering how this happened. Megan then reveals the tracking device that Harris put on her car and says he thought that he had her when the truth is, she had him the whole time. Harris says she’s not going to get away with it. Harris tries to aim his gun at her but he collapses to the ground. Li then arrives. Megan complains that Li didn’t put enough in, because he nearly killed her.

Kate remains in the Pub, complaining that she should’ve had an update from Harris by now. Kate wonders what’s taking so long and texts Harris that she’s waiting to hear some good news.

Megan questions what took Li so long as Harris was about to take her away. Li explains that he had to get Dr. Rolf settled in and answer his questions because he doesn’t have a lot of confidence in their ability to get Harris to him. They hear Harris’ phone go off, so Li retrieves his phone from his pocket. Li sees that his phone is locked. Li holds his eyes open to unlock the phone with face recognition. Megan instructs Li to then disable that feature because next time they want to use his phone, Harris won’t be available. Li sees that the text was from Kate, asking for an update. Megan knew she was in on it. Megan says to forget about Kate for now because they have to get Harris out of here.

Whitley questions Jerry being a blackmailer now. Whitley then brings up Jerry’s grandmother and how she was able to get the medicine she couldn’t afford thanks to her. Jerry says he’s sorry but he’s afraid that the cops are going to try to pin this on him. Whitley warns that it will also be the FBI and he’s right that he’s the one that broke all the laws. Jerry argues that he did what she told him to do. Whitley asks who is going to believe him against her, but warns that the police have enough on him to send him away for a really long time.

Theo tells Paulina that Rafe is busy as she wonders if she should try again. Paulina agrees there is no point and that Rafe will call when he knows something. Paulina is glad Theo is there. Theo says it was driving him insane being half a world away as they need to be going through this together. Paulina states that he reminds her of Abe.

Rafe and Jada return to the police station. Rafe notes that he still hasn’t heard from Eli but then he gets a call from him. Eli is at the hospital and confirms that they still had Abe’s blood sample and it matched the blood found on the docks. Eli says that everything Jerry said was right and that Abe is gone. Rafe says he can’t believe this. Eli says he needs to go tell Lani in person because reporters will be there and it will be on the news, so he needs to tell her so that she doesn’t find out like that. Rafe understands and tells Eli to take off as he will handle it. Eli asks about Paulina and Theo because somebody has to tell them. Rafe states that he will tell them and tells Eli to take care as he hangs up. Rafe holds back tears as Jada hugs him.

Whitley brings Abe out in his wheelchair and says it’s time for their adventure but Jerry decides he’s changing his mind and realized that Whitley was right and he shouldn’t have agreed to take Abe out when there’s so many reasons for him to stay here. Abe complains about it not mattering that he really wants to go out. Whitley claims that she tried to get behind the idea but his son knows best.

Paulina decides she can’t take it anymore and she’s going to the police station to make somebody talk to her. Theo thought she was going to wait on Rafe’s call. Paulina argues that she can’t just sit and wait as she needs to hear something. Paulina opens the door to leave right as Rafe and Jada arrive. Paulina says she was just coming to see them and asks if Rafe got her message and if they found Abe. Jada asks if they can come in. Paulina says no and tries to shut the door. Paulina starts to panic as Rafe and Jada enter the apartment. Rafe tells Paulina that he’s so sorry as they didn’t find Abe but they found some remnants and a witness. Paulina breaks down crying.

Li returns to the park with Harris’ phone and gets a text from Kate, asking if she should be worried. Li texts back that the mission is accomplished. Kate remarks that she should’ve known she could count on Harris.

Harris wakes up strapped to a bed in Dr. Rolf’s lab with Megan watching over him. Harris struggles with the straps and questions what she’s trying to do. Megan responds that it’s the same thing he was going to do to her. Megan comments that she expected him to be down for a few more hours but he’s a strong one. Megan doubts that he’s strong enough to resist what Dr. Rolf has in store for him. Megan warns Harris that in a few short moments, he will be back under control. Harris shouts that he should’ve seen this coming. Harris warns that it won’t work this time. Megan tells Dr. Rolf that Harris doesn’t have any faith in his treatments. Megan tells Harris not to worry as she has enough faith for both of them.

Recap written by Michele and Cheryl

Kate wanted Jada to tell her what happened with Rafe. Jada hesitated, but she told her that she and Rafe made love. Kate was happy for her and wanted more details. She told her there wasn’t much to tell and they had to keep it a secret. Jada thanked Kate for encouraging her to pursue Rafe. She told Kate that Eli did the same thing with Rafe. Jada had to leave and asked Kate to keep her relationship a secret. Kate promised not to say anything. Kate reached out to Harris to find out about Megan. Jerry identified Abe as the man he saw go into the water. Eli jumped in the water, but couldn’t find Abe. Eli wanted answers from Jerry, but that’s all he had to tell them. Rafe wanted the divers to go in the water and look for Abe. They were unsuccessful. Jada arrived and Eli wanted to go to the hospital to test the blood sample he found. Rafe talked to Jada about their relationship. He assured her that their relationship didn’t have anything to do with what happened to Abe. They went to the station. Eli let them know that the sample was Abe’s. Eli wanted to tell Lani himself because he didn’t want her to hear it somewhere else. Rafe told Eli that he would tell Paulina and Theo. After his conversation with Eli, Jada comforted him.

Abe told Paulina that he wanted to go to the park. She didn’t think it was a good idea. He struggled to get up, but he was determined to go outside. Jerry came over and she asked him to talk Abe out of going outside. Jerry thought it was a great idea and offered to help him get ready. While Abe was getting dressed, Whitley went off on Jerry because he went against her. She felt like he was going to blow her plan. He planned on blowing it unless she gave him more money. She couldn’t give him more money. He couldn’t accept that. She reminded him that he committed the crimes. She said it was his word against her word. Paulina told him that he could end up in jail. He backed down and told Abe he couldn’t go out yet. Theo told Paulina that the police might have a lead on Abe. She didn’t want to get her hopes up, but he reminded her that Abe didn’t give up on him when he was shot. She was about to go to the station when Rafe and Jada were at her door. She wanted to know if they had news. She could tell something was wrong because of their faces. Rafe wanted to talk to her, but she didn’t want to hear it. She started to break down. Harris held Megan at gunpoint and told her, but he was taking her somewhere that she couldn’t hurt people anymore. She wanted to know who was making him do that. She guessed Kate was the one who talked him into doing it. Harris was about to drag her to a boat, but he was hit in the neck with a dart. Megan told him that it was a tranquilizer. She was on to him the entire time and lured him there. Li was the one with the tranquilizer gun. She was upset because he took so long. She wanted him to go back to the lab.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Hello boys. I’m back. How long is it gonna take you to get this place up and running after you provide the supplies? I’ll need no time at all if I don’t have to improvise with kitchen appliances this time. You’ll have top shelf equipment. I assure you there is one vital component of my project that’s missing.

It’s a subject you want me to work on? Patience, doctor, our friend, the Navy Seal will arrive very soon.

What do you want me to do? Cry. Plead for my life.

Truth is I’ve been expecting you, Michaels,

you specialize in gunning down the defense list. Just ask those people that you sent to a watery grave in the aja. So what are you waiting for? An engraved invitation.

Sorry I didn’t call first. Oh, Phil honey. That’s okay. You know, I’m always glad to see you. Do you have news? I do. I was just at the police station when a call came in. After that, Eli called Rafe and took off in a hurry. Oh, what was it called about? I’m thinking it was a lead. Something that’s gonna tie that nurse to what happened to my dad.

I don’t see anything. Yeah. Well, we gotta know for sure right now what we have is this guy’s word.

Charlie. I know that the visit with Theo was a little stressful, so why don’t we just sit and watch a little bit of body and soul. All right. But you’re gonna have to tell me who’s lying to who because it’s. It’s hard for me to keep up.

Okay. You know what to do when you get down to the dock, right? I should. I’ve gone over it like 50 times. Aleena. Aleena. Oh, uh, what? You didn’t hear me just now. You looked like you were a million miles away.

Did you get a good look at him before he went in the water? I, I, it all happened so fast. All right. Well do best to describe him, uh, my height, but older. Yeah, that could be a lot of guys. Like I said, it was fast. Yeah. Okay. Look, This is the guy that we’re looking for.

Gabe Carver.

Yeah, that was him.

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

Just calm down, Megan. Nobody’s getting shot.

The only time I ever pulled the trigger on somebody, unarm is when you were messing with my head and I have to tell myself every single day that it wasn’t me, that it was you. And now your days of making people do whatever you want are over. You’re going somewhere. Somewhere. You’ll discover new levels of misery every.

Single day, I’m a guess Disney World. Joe, call you one. You won’t be laughing when you get there. May I know why you’re doing this. To stop the insanity to stop you from doing whatever you’re planning to bow or hope or Kate. Funny you should mention Kate, tell me what’s her role in this cute little stunt of yours.

So you and rave. Thanks for this. Okay. I am not gonna pressure you into sharing more than you’re comfortable with, but I saw your face when I guess that you and Rave were upstairs together, right? A few hours earlier where you were over there at that very table and you were sharing how you felt about him.

So, uh, Well, I also told you that there are certain rules in play to stop me from acting on those feelings. Mm-hmm. Well, rules are made to be broken, especially silly ones. Come on chair. You just don’t give up, do you? Never. All right. All right. Okay. So Ray came over to give me some really good news about my sister, which was a huge relief, obviously.

And you know, one thing led to another. And that’s all I’m gonna say. Well, I am very happy for both of you. I really am. Thank you. He’s a great guy and you are a great catch and I, I really hope it works out for you. Thank you. So where is he now? Oh, he had to go. He, yeah. Well, one of us needs to be out looking for him.

Trying to figure out what happened to him.

I’m not sure about this guy. He was a little nervous to me. Yeah. Well, why wouldn’t he be? I mean, seeing somebody fall into the river and then just disappear. Yeah. Well, I still want to dive team in forensics all over this. Look man, you make the call. I’m going in. What? No, you’re not going in Not without scuba equipment and dive team.

You’re not. This is Abe. I need to see for myself. E Eli, Eli.

I was just thinking how happy I am that your test results were so good. You know, you’re not only on the road to recovery, you are in the express lane. Oh look, the commercial’s almost over. You know, I, I don’t wanna watch that show. You don’t. No. You know, it’s such a, a beautiful day outside. When do we get outta here?

Let’s go to the park.

You. You wanna go out? Yeah. Why not? It’s a nice warm day. Oh, it’s not just warm, it’s actually hot. You just got outta the hospital. You’re nowhere near ready for that kind of exertion. Oh, come on now. You can drive us to the park and we’ll sit on the bench. Listen to the birds. I, I know I’m up to that. You were just telling me how, how, how great my, my test results were.

I know what I said, but No, no, no, no, no. No box. No box. Come on. He’ll me get dressed and then we’ll go out and see what I’ve been missing. Oh, so you think maybe it was someone who recognized your dad and Ray and Eli, they’re on their way of finding him and bringing him back maybe so. Oh, oh, wouldn’t that, wouldn’t that be Oh, Uhuh uh, no.

No. No, no, I’m not going there. Not yet. Uhuh. I’m not getting my hopes up. Just, just have ’em dashed again. No, I have done that this too many times already. Uh uh, uh, uh uh. I’m not going there. I’m not going there for yo No, don’t. More wishful thinking. Oh, no, I can’t do it. I can’t handle it. I can’t handle it.

I can’t handle it. Theo, come inside. Oh, I got you. It’s okay.

I can see how this is affecting you, and it’s not my place to tell you how to deal with it, but I can tell you what’s been working for me and what is that? I know what you mean about not getting your hopes up, but hope is all we have right now. And until somebody I trust tells me that I’m never gonna see my dad again.

I’m gonna believe that they’ll find him. My dad and I, we’ve been through bad things before. A couple years ago I got shot and I went into a coma. Nobody knew if I was gonna regain consciousness. Sweetheart, what? Kate told me that my dad never stopped believing that I was gonna come out of it.

Maybe I felt that maybe that’s why I pulled through, and maybe that’s exactly what Dad needs from us right now is to never lose hope.

I couldn’t say anything. The current could have carried him downstream. Yeah. Okay. If it was him. How about we wait for the divers? Divers next time? Okay. A man like Abe just doesn’t randomly hit his head and then just disappear, man. What the hell was he doing down here? All alone? Or how’d he get away from wherever it was that grabbed him?

Are you sure that the man you saw go in the water? Is the man in the picture? Uh, yeah. I, I guess maybe. What do you mean you guess? Listen to me. Abe is my wife’s father. All righty, Eila. He’s eila. Hey. Hey. Okay. Chill off. I’m, I’m sure, uh, as soon as I saw the picture, I, I knew. Okay. Hey, listen, we got all your information.

You don’t have to stick around. So don’t leave town. Okay. We’re gonna wanna speak to you again,

vla. All we have is that dude’s word. Okay. And the blood stain. Napes Hospital brace stain Forensics hasn’t even typed the blood yet. So we’ll follow up on evidence because that’s what we do, but we can’t get ourselves. We both know how this ends.

Okay? I’m outta here. You’re gonna expect a delivery soon. All you have to do is sign for it. I’m impressed with your preparation. But that doesn’t change the fact that twice you have promised to have Commander Michaels ready to do what must be done, and twice you have failed to produce him. I would hate to find that I’ve risk coming back here for nothing.

Your joy ride on Princess Gina Summer and wasn’t wasted. Doctor. This is being handled by Megan Damara herself. Did I say more?

You forget about Kate. I’m doing this alone. I wanna be the one to make sure you get what you deserve. I’m, I’m feeling properly threatened, I assure you, but I can’t help wondering. Why are you doing this now? What nudged you into it? And when I asked myself that question, I remember just how ruthless your friend Kate Roberts Brady has always been.

So let me guess. Kate wants me dead, but you held out for delivering me to my own private Siberia. Am I close? This conversation’s a waste of time and your boat is waiting. Well, you see, you should have listened to Kate. Your problem that you’re too much of a Boy Scout. You are only effective when I was giving you your marching orders,

Kate isn’t here Commander. It’s just you and me and Mr. Baretta in your right hand.

So I’m wondering what you would do if I were to suddenly turn and run for my life? Do you really have it in here to shoot me in the back?

I’m not gonna shoot you cause you’re not going anywhere except where I take you.

How you gonna spend all that time? All alone in the middle of nowhere.

Gosh, maybe you can take my mind off April while, why don’t you tell me about you and Raf. Well, I mean, there’s not much to tell. It’s still very new, obviously. Yeah, but you’re, you’re happy it happened, right? Do you have regrets, right? Oh, nope. None. We definitely wanna be together, but we have to keep it between us, you know, behind closed doors.

Well, I’m sure you’ll be able to manage that. Now comes the time when you should. Thank me for giving you such good advice. Thank you Kate. Your advice really was helpful and, and you know, I’m grateful to Eli too because he had a talk with Rave, apparently he picked up on the energy between us and he gave him some similar advice.

Oh, I gotta go, Ralph needs me down at the docks. Do you think that’s about it? He didn’t give me any details. Listen, Kate, you can’t tell anyone about rape and I, okay? My life is not an open book either, and believe me, I know how crucial it is to have someone you can trust, especially with your secret self.

It’s time to go. Don’t I get a teary goodbye with my old friend, Kate. Oh,

what? What is it? Just something they shoot at charging rhinos.

Oh darling, I know how impatient you are to feel better and those test results are great. Step in the right direction, but look at you. You can barely walk. Darling. You know you brought me home in the wheelchair, so why don’t we, why don’t we take that with us, then the exertion will be all yours. May I remind you that a man tried to kill you and unfortunately he is still out there on the loose.

I would feel so guilty if I put you in danger for even one moment. Spra day we’ll be in a public park. I, I am not going to live in fear. I’m not gonna be a prisoner in my own home. Oh, let me get the door darling.

Oh, Theo, I am so very happy to see you. Perhaps you can convince your father that it’s not time for him to go out yet. Actually, I think that’s a great idea. Come on, puffs. Let’s get you dressed.

Oh, I’m sorry if it sounded like I was preaching at you. You, you didn’t preach. You opened my eyes. I’ve been thinking about myself worrying if I could handle the stress and it’s Abe who suffering the most away from his loved ones. God know where likely scared out of his mind.

I’m gonna have to keep myself strong for him until he gets home. We both will. Okay. So now tell me more about this call that Eli and RAF got got.

Hi, is this Hi Dave? Yeah. Uh, 9 1 1. Caller said he saw guy who was wobbly put this pile on and then toppled into the water. There was blood stain on it and uh, we found Abe’s Hospital ID bracelet. Did you interview the witness? Yeah, I showed him a picture, said it was the eye he saw. Oh my God. So there’s still a chance that it might not be.

No, I hope so. Yeah. I’m not gonna tell Pauline about any of this. It’s all based on circumstantial evidence in one guy’s statement, if there’s a body in there, the divers will find it. One, the texts gave me a blood sample from the pylon. They want to do a DNA match with apes. They volunteered to be a bone marrow donor, so they probably still have his sample at the hospital.

I’m gonna take it over there right now. Okay. I’ll let ’em know you’re coming and it’s priority one.

It’s Paulino.

I gotta, let’s go to voicemail. I can’t let her know what’s going on. Not yet. I can’t. You did the right thing. She’ll only hear what you know now in panic. Yeah. When did the call come in? I hope it wasn’t when you and I were together. Well, I know what you’re thinking. Just stop. I get in here a little bit sooner, I wouldn’t to change anything.

We’re here now and we’ve got a job to do much as we’re dreading what we might find.

I’m sorry to be bothering you again, Rafe, but as soon as Theo told me you have a had a lead. I, I had to call. Uh, so, uh, please call me back if something happens. Even if it doesn’t seem so important, and just so you know, I am filled with hope that you are on the verge of him finding my Abraham and bringing him home to me where he belongs.

That I do. That was great.

A won’t be long. It’s just peeking out a shirt to wear. What the hell’s the matter with you? Didn’t you hear me tell you to back me up? Oh, I heard you loud and clear. Then why did you shoot off your big mouth? I’m trying to make people think that he’s dead. Don’t you forget that’s why I hired you. I did everything like you said, and so far it’s going exactly the way you wanted to.

Okay? The cops think that Abe fell off that pier and drowned, and they’re using the evidence that I planted to prove it. Wait a minute, what do you mean? So far, when I left, they were calling in divers and crime scene investigators and pouring everything they had into it. And you know what? When I signed onto this thing, uh, I thought I was taking on an acting job to help a sick man, but somehow it morphed into this whole.

Weird nightmare where I faked someone’s death and it just so happens to be the mayor of the damn town. And I’m the one on the line with the cops. And you know what I think that costs for? I think it costs for a raise a big one. I am just a nurse. I’ve already paid you everything I’ve got. Well, you better figure something out then, because if I don’t get the money that I want and I’m going straight to the police station, then I’m blowing your whole little world to Smith Rains.

It seems like you should have shuffled me off while you had the chance. This change is nothing

you keep telling yourself that. I suppose you are wondering how this happened, but don’t waste your waning energy trying to figure it out.

You had this little thing planted on my car, thought you had me right where you wanted me. The truth is, I had you the whole time.

They’re not gonna get away with this.

You didn’t put enough in you, al. He nearly killed me.

Come on. Michael says, you have had an update by now. It’s taking you so long.

What took you so long? He was just about to march me outta here at gunpoint. I had to get a roll, settled and answer questions. Doesn’t seem he has a lot of confidence in our ability to provide the subject. Oh, note to self. Next time hire a mad scientist who keeps his mouth shut.

Check his pockets.

Damn thing’s locked. Must have a special coat on it. What about facial recognition? His eyes are closed. Well then open his eyes.

Wow. Disable that feature for you. Next time you wanna use his phone, he’s not gonna be available. Right? It’s Kate seems she wants an update. I knew she was in on it. Well, forget about her for now. We’ve got work to do. Let’s get him outta here.

So you’re not just an actor, you’re a blackmailer now. I guess that makes me a double threat. I better go check on the ape. Oh. Oh. How’s your grandmother doing Better? Mm. Yeah. I’m so glad that I was able to get her the medication that she couldn’t afford. I’m sorry, Ms. King. God, I really am, but I’m afraid the cops are gonna try to pin this on me.

It’s probably not just them. By now. They must have called in the fbi. And you’re right. You are the one who broke all the laws. I did what you told me to. What are you talking about? I’m a nurse. I’m a respected member of the community who’s gonna believe you against me. You’re just a two bit actor, but the police have enough on you to send you away for a really long time.

Am well. Try to look on the bright side. Maybe there’s an inmate’s FI’s troop up there at Statesville.

Busy Helena. Think I should try again. No, no. I, okay. You’re right. You’re right, you’re right. No point. He will call when he knows something. Oh, I’m so glad you are here, Theo, darling. I’m glad I’m here too. It was driving me insane, being half a world away. We need to be going through this together. You got a real way about you.

Hm? You remind me so much of your father. When Abraham gets home, I am going to tell him what a, a wise and caring son he has raised. Then I’m gonna plant kisses all over that man.

Ooh,

damn. Stone a word from Eli.

I’m gonna call him. Hey, there he is. Hey man. What’s up? You were right. The hospital still had that blood sample of Abe, or if it was a match, the blood we found was his.

They’re sure. Yeah. Everything that God Jerry said was right. Ape’s gone. Oh.

Oh, I can’t believe this. Yeah, me neither. Look, I, I need to go tell Lonnie in person. There’s probably gonna be re reporters down there. This can hit the news. I look, I, I, I just need to tell her before she finds out I can’t, I can’t have her find out like that. Yeah, yeah. No. Um, yeah, you take off, man. I’ll handle it.

Ray. What about, um, Pauline and, and Theo? Somebody’s gotta tell them. I’ll tell her. I’ll tell her, man. You just dumb.

Take care. Okay buddy.

Wow.

Here we are. Time for our adventure. Uh, you know, I’ve been thinking pops and um, I think Paulina has a point. You changing your mind. But, but Theo, you were so set on giving your father what he wanted. Uh, I know, and like I said, I, I thought about what you said to Pops and then to me, and I realized you were right.

Uh, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have agreed to taking you out, and there are so many good reasons for you to stay put right here. So it doesn’t matter that I really wanted to go out. Oh, darling, of course it matters. But that’s why I was really trying to get behind the idea. But Theo knows what’s best for you, and he’s your son.

And of course we care and oh my goodness, who knows what would happen if we got out there. I can’t. I, I, I can’t take it anymore. I’m going over to that police station and make somebody talk to me. Wait, I, I thought you were gonna wait until you get that call back from Reef. No, I can’t just, I can’t just sit here.

Not one more minute. Now you don’t worry. I’m gonna be filled with, with hope and all of that, but I, I need, I need to hear something. Where’s my purse went? Oh, oh, oh God. Oh, hey. I was just coming to see you. Didn’t you get my message? Yeah, yeah, I did. And what? You have news? What? What did you find that, um, can we come in?

No. No, you cannot. I, um, no. You didn’t come here for this? No, I will not have it. You, you did not come here for this. I will not have it. I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. We, um, we find, but we did find some remnant stuff. Who was there? There was a witness. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no.

Well, wow. Commander Michaels, I should have known, I could count on you.

A guest is waking up. I don’t think he likes his accommodations. What are you trying to do? Same thing that you were just about to do to me. You woke up very quickly. I’m impressed. I expected you to be down for at least a few more hours. New strong one commander. But I doubt that you’re strong enough to resist what a good doctor has in store.

You know? What does that mean? In just a few short moments, you’ll be back under my control. No, no. I should have seen this coming. I’m telling you. I’m warning you. This is not gonna work this time. Woo. Did you hear that doc? Our friend here doesn’t have any faith in your freelance.

Oh no. Don’t worry. I have enough faith for both of us.

No, now.

Days of Our Lives Update

Update written by Joseph

At the DiMera Mansion, Megan calls Li and tells him about EJ and Kristen refusing the breakfast that she brought them. Li assumes that being held captive is not the most enjoyable pastime. Megan remarks that they can’t have two turncoats on the loose as they cast a shadow on her bright vision for the future. Megan asks if Li has good news for her. Li confirms that he does and he’ll be leaving soon as Dr. Rolf will be arriving any moment. Megan reminds Li to make sure that Dr. Rolf knows they expect him to brainwash Harris Michaels. Megan declares that once she has Harris under her control again, nothing can stop them.

Kate meets with Harris at the Brady Pub and says they have a lot to discuss. Harris first asks if there’s any news on Abe. Kate responds that they still have nothing. Kate remarks that Megan is still free to walk the streets while a good guy like Abe is nowhere to be found.

Abe gets a headache and thinks he needs to rest. Jerry offers to help Abe up but notes that he doesn’t seem very steady and asks if he has a cane to help him out. Abe then stops and has a flashback to a conversation with Theo about his walking cane before his wedding. Abe looks confused as Jerry asks if something is wrong. Abe then declares that he’s not his son.

At the police station, Eli finishes a phone call and tells Theo to give him three minutes and he’ll come back to talk to him. Theo stops him and asks why he’s questioning Nurse Whitley about Abe. Eli explains that when he reviewed the case file, he saw that Whitley left the hospital early and he wanted to know why and she said she wasn’t feeling well. Theo asks if he believes her.

Whitley waits in the interrogation room and says with the FBI breathing down her neck, she has no choice as she declares that Abe is going to have to die.

Rafe goes to Jada’s and knocks on the door, saying she has some good news. Jada then answers the door in a towel. Rafe apologizes and says he tried calling but she didn’t pick up. Jada says she was in the shower so she’s lucky that she heard him knock.

Jerry thinks back to Whitley instructing him to improvise in his acting as Theo. Jerry tries telling Abe that it’s just his amnesia talking and insists that he is his son, Theo, but that Abe just isn’t really himself right now. Abe responds that he may not be 100% but he just now had a vivid memory of his wedding day where he was talking to his best man, his son and it wasn’t him. Jerry decides to go get him a glass of water. As he heads in to the kitchen, he texts Whitley about an emergency as Abe is saying he’s not his son.

Eli informs Theo that when a hospital employee is sick, the protocol is to leave immediately so she did the right thing but it got his attention because when Rafe questioned her, she didn’t mention it. Whitley then comes out from the interrogation room and tells Eli that she really must get home, so she asks if there’s anything else he needs from her today. Eli asks if everything is okay. Whitley repeats that her cat is sick and her neighbor has to leave, so she must get home to tend to him. Eli agrees to let her go and says if he needs anything, she will hear from him. Eli thanks her for coming in as Whitley hurries out of the police station. Theo comments on Whitley seeming super anxious.

Rafe tells Jada that he’s sorry but once he heard the news, he dropped everything and rushed over. Rafe explains that Belle came to the station looking for Jada as apparently Melinda agreed to cut some sort of deal so that Talia won’t be facing any jail time. Jada excitedly hugs Rafe and thanks him. Rafe and Jada then end up kissing.

Megan assures Li that everything is secure with EJ and Kristen, pointing out that she just sends texts from EJ’s phone to Nicole and Stefan while no one is looking for Kristen so she just put her phone in a drawer. Li repeats that he will be meeting with Dr. Rolf shortly. Megan tells Li to remind Dr. Rolf that time is of the essence, so whatever he needs, they will have it. Li brings up that there is something Dr. Rolf needs that they haven’t discussed and that’s Harris Michaels himself. Megan tells him not to worry as he’s within their grasp and then he will take out Stefan so that their hands are clean. Li declares that in her grief, Gabi will turn to him. Megan remarks that her little brother Stefan is in for quite a surprise. Stefan then walks in to the living room and questions that.

Rafe and Jada kiss until Rafe stops and apologizes, saying he shouldn’t have. Jada responds that if he hadn’t, she would have. Jada explains that she ran in to Kate downstairs and they were talking. Jada says that what Kate said really changed her perspective as she told her that what they do at work is one thing but what they do in the privacy of their own homes is nobody’s business. Jada thinks Kate is absolutely right.

Kate appreciates Harris’ concern for Abe but says they have other pressing things to talk about, like Shawn ruining his plan to grab Megan. Harris explains that Megan was armed and Shawn was drunk, so he had to get Shawn out of there as Megan could’ve killed him. Kate points out that Megan could still kill him since she’s free to create whatever chaos she wants to and she also knows that Harris is coming after her. Kate asks how they proceed now that he no longer has the element of surprise. Harris responds that he’s well aware of his situation and reveals that he already planned for his next encounter with Megan, before he even left the property.

Megan hangs up and tells Stefan that she didn’t hear him come in. Stefan questions what this big surprise is that she has in store for him. Megan responds that it’s a good surprise but Stefan is not comforted by that. Megan claims it has to do with the party that she’s planning to celebrate his engagement to Gabi. Stefan says she already told them about the party so it’s not a surprise. Megan notes that she didn’t say when it is and then suggests he not make plans for tomorrow night. Megan guesses now that he knows, she’ll have to figure out another surprise for him for tomorrow night.

Eli tells Theo that anyone would be anxious while being questioned by the FBI. Theo is uncertain and notes that she seemed super nervous when he talked to her earlier, like her hands were shaking. Theo asks what Whitley said about why she didn’t tell Rafe that she left early on the day that Abe disappeared. Eli says she just didn’t think it was important. Theo suggests maybe it was important and that’s why she didn’t say anything. Theo states that somebody took Abe from the hospital that day and Whitley is unaccounted for that day, so he hopes he’s not ruling her out.

Jerry brings Abe some water but he slaps it out of his hand and demands to know who the hell he is. Jerry continues claiming to be his son. Whitley then comes home and asks if they had fun catching up. Abe responds that they did not. Jerry tells her that there is a problem as Abe keeps saying he’s not who he says he is. Whitley insists that Jerry is Theo but Abe calls that a damn lie as he is not his son and he doesn’t even know him. Whitley offers to get him water but Abe shouts that he doesn’t want any. Abe wants the truth. Abe reiterates that he had a very clear memory of their wedding day and recalls his real son saying his best man had him covered. Abe calls Jerry an impostor and declares that now he’s starting to question everything.

Eli tells Theo that he’s not ruling anyone out just yet, including Whitley, but the issue is evidence. Theo asks about hospital security cameras. Eli says they checked and found nothing, but admits that Whitley would know where the cameras are and how to avoid them. Eli goes over her hospital record not having one negative word. Theo questions giving up on her because she’s a good nurse. Eli knows this is hard but promises that he’s not ruling anyone out just yet. Eli adds that he put in a request for a background check on Whitley. Eli suggests they go see what the FBI turned up. Eli promises that if Whitley is telling stories, it won’t hold up under FBI scrutiny. Eli and Theo then head in to the interrogation room.

Whitley tells Abe that he’s getting worked up over nothing and that there’s a simple explanation for everything. Abe argues that there is nothing simple. Whitley claims that Jerry is Theo and that Abe is remembering his other son, Brandon.

Jada tells Rafe that she would never do anything to jeopardize his career. Rafe says he was just thinking the same thing. Jada asks if Kate got to him too. Rafe explains that Eli had asked about them and guesses it was obvious. Rafe notes that Eli had been through a similar situation with Lani, although they were partners and he wasn’t her boss but they were meant to be. Rafe adds that even now, nothing can stop them as Eli is patiently waiting for Lani to get out. Rafe states that talking to Eli got him thinking that this doesn’t matter about a rule or a law as if it’s meant to be, then it will be. Jada asks if he’s saying they are meant to be. Rafe responds that he wants to find out as they kiss.

Li meets Dr. Rolf on the pier and welcomes him home. Dr. Rolf informs him that he came on Princess Gina’s submarine. Dr. Rolf talks about being wary of the authorities after deprogramming Stefan. Li comments on his skills in that department. Dr. Rolf says he can’t ask him to mess with Stefan’s brain again. Li says this isn’t about Stefan and reminds him of Harris Michaels. Li informs him that Megan needs Harris back under her control which Rolf laughs at.

Kate asks Harris how he’s prepared for his next encounter with Megan. Harris explains that after taking Shawn out of the house, he placed a tracking device on Megan’s car, so eventually she will come out and will be his.

Stefan apologizes to Megan for spoiling the surprises but guesses it’s just as well since EJ won’t be back from his business trip by tomorrow. She tells him he won’t have to worry about EJ crashing his party. Stefan notes that he would like to include Kristen though and asks if Megan has seen her. Stefan mentions that he looked in Kristen’s room, but her bed looked like it hadn’t been slept in. Stefan asks if she knows anything about where Kristen is. Megan says they can’t keep anything from him and that she’s afraid Kristen is indisposed tomorrow as well. Stefan questions how she knows. Megan claims that she saw Kristen leave, she said goodbye and left town last night. Stefan argues that ever since Kristen has been back, all she has wanted is custody of her daughter, and now she out of the blue books a vacation somewhere. Megan says she said she just left town but she hasn’t given up on her daughter. Megan says that DiMera has cannibalized all the competent lawyers in town, so she went to New York to find a custody lawyer to grind Brady in to the ground. Megan adds that she had quite a list, so she doesn’t expect her in back in the coming days or maybe weeks. Stefan questions if Kristen left last night, who the extra breakfast plate belongs to.

Dr. Rolf asks Li what Megan has up her sleeve this time since her last escapade was about an elixir for eternal youth. Li says all he knows is that she needs his special talent for her ambitious plan. Li asks if he’s up to the task of getting Harris Michaels back under Megan’s control. Dr. Rolf responds that this will be child’s play and he could do it in his sleep.

Rafe and Jada lay in bed together after having sex. They talk about it being better than imagined. Rafe asks now what. Jada wants this to keep happening for real which Rafe agrees with as they continue kissing.

Eli and Theo go over the background check on Whitley King but find nothing remarkable. Eli declares that he’s sorry but this isn’t the profile of a criminal. Eli knows Theo had his hopes up but remarks that upstanding citizens don’t just turn to crime for no reason and it looks like Whitley doesn’t have a reason.

Whitley asks Abe if that clears everything up. Abe says hell no and questions why the hell she didn’t tell him that he had another son and why she would keep that from him. Whitley knows she should’ve told him but claims he hasn’t seen Brandon since the wedding as he doesn’t approve and they had a falling out. Whitley hopes that clears everything up now. Abe guesses it does and apologizes to Jerry for being harsh on him before. Jerry claims he’s just worried about him and wants him to get better. Whitley suggests they get Jerry to the hotel to rest, so she walks him out. She tells Jerry that he’s so lucky that Abe has another son, complaining that she told him to improvise. Jerry argues that he tried. She tells him that they don’t have time to waste as there is something else she needs him to do for her. She instructs him to wait there as there’s something she has to go do first. Whitley then heads back inside with a syringe and tells Abe not to worry as it won’t take long. She claims she needs a blood sample from him for the hospital.

Rafe suggests to Jada that they never get out of bed and just leave the world behind but he knows they have jobs to do. Jada suggests at work, they are consummate professionals in the force, but behind closed doors, they are committed to each other. Rafe likes that option as they kiss. Jada reminds him they need to get back to work. Rafe says he does, but she has to get the rest that he ordered her to get as they continue kissing.

Whitley tells Abe that she will just run his blood sample down to the hospital. Abe offers to go with her but she insists that he stay and rest. Whitley assures that doing things her way will be best for all of them as she then exits. Whitley presents Jerry with Abe’s blood sample and says this is what she needs him to d.

Megan claims that before Stefan came in, her son Dimitri was there but he turned his nose up at the breakfast sausages. Stefan says that’s his loss then and eats some of it. Megan jokes that she’ll be sure to include them on the menu for his last meal as a bachelor then.

Dr. Rolf gives Li a list of the tools he will need. Li responds that they will make Harris available to him very soon.

Kate asks Harris if it’s too late to reconsider Megan’s fate, feeling that it doesn’t make any sense to make her disappear if she’s going to make her way back here. Harris gives her his word that once Megan is gone, she’s not coming back. Kate asks if that’s arrogance or confidence. Harris calls it experience. Harris then gets an alert from the tracking device that Megan is leaving the house as they speak, so he better get going. Kate wishes him luck but Harris responds that luck will have nothing to do with this as he exits the Pub.

A few hours later, Stefan returns to the living room while on the phone with Gabi and says he guesses Megan already left as he was going to ask if there’s a small chance that Kristen could appear at their engagement party. Stefan decides that he will call Kristen herself. Stefan hangs up and calls Kristen, but finds her phone in a drawer in the room. Stefan questions why the hell Kristen would go to New York without her phone.

Megan walks through the park and runs in to Harris Michaels. Megan questions if he’s following her. Harris pulls a gun on her and declares that they have unfinished business.

Kate remarks that Megan’s moments are numbered. Jada comes downstairs and comments on Kate talking to herself but she didn’t hear what she was saying. Kate claims that she was just bemoaning her son Rex rarely getting in touch with her. Kate asks about seeing Rafe leave earlier and asks if she took her advice.

Jerry meets Rafe and Eli at the pier. Rafe tells him to start from the beginning and tell them everything he saw.

Theo walks through the town square and calls Brandon, saying there’s still no news about Abe but he thinks Eli and Rafe got a lead as they rushed down to check it out without telling him much. Theo hopes they will finally get some answers.

Whitley returns home. Abe comments on her being gone a long time. She says that she wanted to wait for his test results and announces that he passed with flying colors.

Jerry claims to Rafe and Eli that he was walking and saw someone on the docks, looking totally out of it and then he stumbled, hit his head and fell in to the water. Jerry claims he can’t swim or else he would’ve jumped in after him and no one else was around. Rafe instructs him to stay there as they check this out. Eli finds fresh blood on the ground. Rafe then finds Abe’s hospital ID bracelet.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

And I’m kind of knocking with breakfast. Those two in grapes will have a little bit more appreciation, but no. EJ ate a bit, but Kristen turned her nose up at everything I brought down. So high maintenance in their defense. Megan, I think it’s safe to assume being held captive isn’t the most enjoyable of pastimes.

Lee, we cannot have two turn coats on the loose now, can we? They cast their shadow across my bright vision of the future. I got what’s coming to them that makes them a tad cranky and impatient, and so be it. Oh, speaking of impatient, how’s it all going? Tell me you’ve got good news for me. I do. I’ll be leaving soon.

Well, if we arriving any moment, great. But you just make sure that he knows what we expect of him. Brainwash shares Michaels. I know. And soon, so will he. Excellent. Once I have Michaels under my control again. Nothing can stop us.

Hey, so we have a lot to discuss. Yeah. First, tell me about your friend, the mayor. Any news on his disappearance. No, no. I just talked to one of the detectives and they have nothing. Mm. Which really calls me because Megan Hathaway still free to stalk the streets, and he had Abe, a really good guy, really runs the best of us.

He’s nowhere to be found.

Oh, I think I need to go lie down. Can I give you a hand? Yeah. I think I need it.

You, you don’t seem very steady. Do you have like a, a cane or anything to help you out?

What do you mean? I mean, this is a, this is a new suit. Is is my tie to wife. Your clothes are fine then the problem is that ugly ass hospital of yours. Oh yeah. No. Paulina doesn’t like it either, but, but what do you want me to do? I, I’m still unsteady. I mean, the last thing I wanna do is wipe out walking down the aisle at my own wedding.

Well, that’s a good thing. Your best man’s got you covered. You that

something wrong. Paul pops,

you keep calling me Pops.

You’re not my son.

Thank you so much. All right. Appreciate it. Bye. Phil, please gimme about three minutes and I’ll come and talk to you. Um, before you go back in there, can I just ask. Why are you questioning that nurse about my dad?

When, when I reviewed the case file on the day that your dad disappeared, I saw that Ms. Whitley King left the hospital early and I wanted to know why. What’d she say? She said that she wasn’t feeling well. Do you believe me?

I’m sorry, Abe. F B I breathing down my neck. What choice do I have?

Poor baby. You’re gonna have to die. Hi.

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

Hey, hey, um, I’m sorry. Um, I tried calling but you didn’t pick up. Uh, yeah, I was, I was in the shower. I’m, I’m lucky. I, I heard you knock. Yeah,

me too.

Okay, but what if he starts asking me about his life? Oh, or mine. Oh my God. You’re an actor. Just improvise. Improvise. You’re right, right, right. Just make some stuff up. Like talk to him. Your your guys. Do guy talk. That’s just the amnesia talking pops. Look, I, I, I’m your son Theo, and I, I love you a lot. Uh, but you’re just really not yourself right now.

I may not.

And I just had just now a vivid memory of my wedding day, and it was as bright as day, and I was talking to my best man. My son

and it wasn’t you. Uh, you’re really starting to worry me, pops. Um, let me get you a glass of water. All right.

So much for these acting skills. Oh,

Now, here’s the thing. When a hospital employee is sick, the protocol is to leave immediately. So she did the right thing. But what got my attention is that when Ray questioned her, she didn’t even mention it.

Agent Grant, I I, I’m very sorry to bother you. Uh, I really must get home. Is there anything else that you need from me today? Is everything okay? Yes. Well, a actually, no. Uh, my cat is sick as I, as I told you, and, uh, my neighbor has to leave and so I must get home and tend to him. He’s very old and very feeble, so.

Yeah. Um, sure. Yeah, you can go. If I need anything, then you’ll hear from me. Oh, no problem at all. Right. Bye bye. Bye bye now. Mm-hmm. Thank you for coming in. Oh, thank you. No, thank you. Wow. Is it just me or does she seem super anxious?

Yeah, I’m sorry. I seem a little, um, Yeah, once I heard the news, I dropped everything and I rushed over here. Come in please. Yeah. Thanks. Um, so yeah, so Bell came to the station. She was looking for you and uh, I don’t have all the details yet, but evidently Trask is willing to cut a deal. A deal. Hmm. What does that mean?

It means that Talia probably won’t have to serve any jail time. Are you kidding? Oh no. Oh my God. Yeah. Oh my God. Yeah. Oh, I can’t believe this. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you so much. Yeah.

Oh, Lee, if my heart didn’t belong to another man, I would kiss you. Not necessary. I assure you. So you’re positive everything’s secure with EJ and Kristen. I am. EJ is away on a fictional business trip, so all I have to do is send text messages to his dopey girlfriend and Stephan with his phone. And Kristen, no one’s looking for her except for her daughter.

And all she does is text, preteen, dribble. So I’ve just parked her phone in a drawer and on to more important things. As I told you, I’ll be meeting Ralph shortly, right. Just remember it’s imperative. But he understands that time is of the essence. So whatever he needs, he has it. There’s something he needs that we haven’t discussed.

The commander himself, well, don’t worry about that. He’s well within our grasp and he will do away with Stephan while we keep our hands clean and in her grief. Gabby will turn to me. She will indeed, and my little brother, Stephan, well, he’s in for quite a surprise. Am.

Oh, I’m sorry. I, um, no, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have, uh, brave. If you hadn’t, I would’ve jaya sh Just listen, listen to me. Okay. I, I, I wound up running into Kate downstairs and we started talking. And, and maybe she told me what I wanted to hear, but what she said, it, it really, it really changed my perspective.

What would she say? I mean, she said that, you know, what we do at work is one thing and what gives anyone the right to police what we do in the privacy of our own homes. It’s, it’s nobody’s business. And, uh, I think Kate is. Absolutely right.

So look, I appreciate your concern for my friend, but we have other pressing things to talk about. Like Shawn ruining your plan to grab Megan. Yeah, well, she was armed, he was drunk. I had to get Shawn out of there. She could have killed him. She could still kill him. I mean, she’s still free to create whatever chaos she wants to, and she also knows that you’re coming after her.

So how do we proceed now that you’ve lost the element of surprise? Kate? I’m, uh, I’m well aware of the situation, Kate. That’s why I’ve already prepared for my next encounter with Megan before I even left the property.

Oh, you have to go. No problem. Chat for now.

I didn’t hear you come in. Hmm. Obviously not. So what’s this big surprise you have in store for me? Well, I’ll just say that there are bad surprises and good surprises, and this one is in the latter category somehow. I’m not comforted by that. Fine, I’ll tell you, spoil sport. Hmm? It has to do with the party that I am planning to celebrate your engagement to.

Gabby, you told us about that. It’s hardly a surprise. Ah, but not when I was gonna keep you in the dark until the main event. But I would like to say I wouldn’t make any plans for tomorrow night if I were you. Oh, well thank you. And now that you know. I guess I’ll have to figure out another surprise for you tomorrow night.

Feel, I suppose that anyone would be anxious if they’re being questioned by the fbi? Yeah, I guess, but I don’t know. She seemed super nervous when I was talking to her earlier in the waiting room. Really? Yeah, like her hands were shaking. So what did she say? You know about not telling Rafe that she left early Liberty and my dad disappeared.

She just didn’t think it was important.

What are you thinking? Maybe it was important and that’s why she didn’t say anything, Eli. Somebody took my dad from the hospital that day and Nurse King’s whereabouts are unaccounted for. So I just hope that you’re not ruling her out. Hey, uh, here, go pops. Uh, drink some water and you’ll be, I don’t want any damn water.

I wanna know who the hell you are. Pops. I’m your son. Who else would I be? Hello there. Oh, hi there. How are my two guys? How’s my father and son duo? Did you have fun catching up? No, we did not. Um, actually there’s kind of a problem. Paulina uh, pops keeps saying I’m not who I say I am. What? Oh no, what are you talking about?

Of course. That’s your son, Theo. That’s a damn lie. He is not my son. I don’t even know him well. Well darling, you’re getting all worked up. You know, let me go and get you some water. I don’t want any damn water.

I want the truth.

Paulina, I had a very clear. Memory of our wedding day. Your best man has you covered. That’s what my son said. My real son, not this damn posture. So now, now I am starting to question everything.

Theo, I’m not ruling anyone out just yet, including Nurse King, but the issue here is evidence. Okay. So what about security cameras? They’ve gotta be all over the place in that hospital. I checked the cameras. Nothing. Hey, yeah, that, that brings up a good point because Nurse King would know where the cameras are and how to avoid them.

But Frank was given Ms. Willie King’s Hospital record. I mean by the looks of this thing. It’s immaculate. I mean, there’s not one negative word in here. She’s caring, compassionate. It’s a model nurse. So we just give up on her. She’s a good nurse. So that’s it, dear. I know this is hard, okay? It’s hard for me too, but I promise you I’m not ruling anyone out just yet.

She also said that file says at all. No, I never said that this file says at all. In fact, before she got here, I put in a request to have a background check on her.

Fuck. Let’s go in the room and see where the FBI turned up. Promise you if she’s telling stories, it’s not gonna hold up under FBI’s scrutiny.

Oh, darling, you, you, you’re getting worked up over nothing. There’s a simple explanation for everything. There is nothing simple about this. Wow. This, he’s, this is not an imposter. This is your son, Theo. And your other son was also at your wedding? My other son, yes, Brandon. He was your best man, and you just are your memories getting all mixed up.

See, doesn’t that make sense?

Grief, I hope you know that I would never do anything that could jeopardize your career. Of course. I know that. Of course. I was just, I was shocked to hear you say that because I was thinking the same thing. Don’t tell me Kate got to you too. No, no, no. It wasn’t Kate, it was Eli. Yeah, he asked about us cuz um, I guess it was obvious, you know, but he is a detective and he also had been through a similar situation with Lonnie, although they were partners, he was not her boss.

Right. But they were meant to be. And even now. Even now, nothing can stop him. I mean, he is patiently waiting for her to get out and talking to Eli just got me thinking this doesn’t matter. Doesn’t matter about a rule or a law or anything. If it is meant to be, then it will be. So what are you saying? We’re meant to be.

I’m saying

I wanna find out.

Welcome home. What happened? Why are you wet? One of the hazards of traveling via a submarine. You came in a submarine, princess Gina, some point of fact, a fine mode of transportation, especially when one wishes to arrive by stealth. You understand if I’m a little wary of running afoul of the authorities given my hasty departure last time after deprogramming stuff in the mirror?

Well, Let’s hope your skills in that department haven’t rusted with time. Ah, it cut but be to mess with that poor man’s brain yet again. Relax. Relax. This isn’t about Stephan. You recall Commander Michaels, I assume the Navy Seal. Megan ve had me back on. Mm-hmm. She needs him back under her control.

Well, don’t leave me in suspense. How have you prepared for your next encounter with Megan? After, uh, getting Shawn out of the house, I placed a small tracking device on her car. I mean, she can’t stay cooped up there forever. Eventually she’ll come out and she’ll be mine.

I am sorry. I spoiled the surprise, Megan, but I guess it’s just as well, right? EJ won’t be back from his business trip by tomorrow, so I wouldn’t worry about EJ crashing your party. I would like to include Kristen though. Have you seen her? Kristen? Yeah. Kristen, her sister. Blonde lady roaming around here a little.

It’s funny, I, I poked my head in her room and her bed looked like it hadn’t been slept in. You wouldn’t know anything about our whereabouts, would you?

Well, we can’t keep anything from you, can we, I’m afraid. Um, Kristen is indisposed tomorrow evening as well,

so Kristen won’t be there. You know this because, I saw her leave. She said goodbyes and she headed outta town last night.

I don’t understand. Well, the door, the front door is right through there, and she crossed the threshold out into the world and closed the door behind her. Oh, Megan, you know very well. That’s not what I mean. Ever since Kristen has been back, all she’s wanted is custody of her daughter back. That’s all she talks about.

And so now you’re telling me just out of the blue, she books a vacation somewhere. I said that she left town. I didn’t say she was going to The Bahamas and she has not given up on her daughter. Quite the contrary. She’s taken a proactive step. You more than anyone else should know that Damira has cannibalized all of the competent lawyers in town here.

So she’s headed to New York to see if she can find a custody lawyer who can grind Brady Black into the ground. And she had quite a significant list to go through, so I shouldn’t imagine that she’ll be home anytime in the next few days. Maybe weeks. So you said she left last night? I did. If you were alone when I came in here, who’s that extra breakfast plate?

Belonged to

tell me. Mr. Shin says, what does Megan ha have up her sleeve this time? If I remember correctly, her last escapade was about an elixir for eternal youth. She goes by De Marina, and all you need to know is that she requires a unique talent to fulfill a very ambitious plan. So the question is, Dr. Rolf, are you up to the task of getting Michael’s back under her control?

My boy, this would be child’s play. I could do it in my sleep.

That was, um, better than I imagined. I’ll admit, I’ve done a bit of imagining. Me too. Oh yeah. Oh yeah.

So now what? Well, I don’t, I don’t want us to keep imagining, you know, being together like this. I, I want it to keep happening. For real. Me too. Oh, yeah. Oh yeah.

All right, so let’s see. Whitley King, born in Scottsdale, Arizona. Youngest of five. Father was a pastor, mother school teacher. She paid her own way through college and nursing school. I mean, it’s, it’s all pretty unremarkable. Uh, she’s on her own now, so she’s a loner. Now. Now she was married once, divorced, widowed, just a couple of years back, and no kids.

Anything else? I’m sorry, man, but this just isn’t the profile of a criminal.

Theo. I know you had your hopes up. But upstanding citizens don’t just turn the crime without a reason. And by the looks of it, this woman doesn’t have a reason.

Well, sweetheart, does that clear everything up? Hell no. It’s just the opposite. Why the hell didn’t you tell me I had another son? Why would you keep that from me, Abe? I know I should have told you sooner. I know, but. But, but you haven’t seen Brandon since the wedding. Um, actually, he doesn’t really approve of us, and I’m sorry to say, but the two of you had a falling out and I, I just didn’t wanna bring this up.

You had so much going on and I didn’t wanna share that tension with you. And I just, it would’ve seemed cruel, you know, but now it’s out in the open and, uh, Hopefully that just clears everything up now,

I suppose. Yeah. Yeah. And you,

I owe you an apology. I was, I was harsh with you before. That’s okay. Pops. Um, I’m, I’m just worried about you and, uh, I want you to get better. You know what, Theo, you’ve had such a long flight coming in from South Africa. You must be exhausted. Let’s get you to the hotel and rest up. Yeah, I am feeling a bit tired.

Yeah. Let’s, I’ll walk you out. Sure. Alright, come on. See, you see Pops? Yeah.

You are so lucky that he has another son. I, I leave you over two minutes and damn it Jerry, I told you to improvise in case something happened. What? I tried, improv is hard. Okay. You know what? Forget it. Just don’t have any time to waste. There’s something else I need you to do for me,

and don’t worry, there’s no improv. Just wait here for a second. There’s something I gotta go to first. Jerry,

what are you doing?

Don’t worry, darling. This won’t take long.

Oh, what won’t take long. I need to get a blood sample from you. Blood sample. Yes. Right before I came home, I got a call from the hospital. They want you to come all the way back down there just to get one little sample. I told him that you’re doing very, very well, but just not quite well enough to make that trip all the way back down there for something I could do right here in the comfort of our own home.

Okay? Okay.

Okay. Here’s an option. How about we never get out of this bed? And we just, we just leave the world and it’s stupid rules behind tempting, but

we both have jobs to do. So here’s another option. Okay. How about at work? We are consummate professionals committed to the forest. Mm-hmm. But behind and closed doors we’re committed to each other. Oh, I like that option a lot.

You gotta get back to work. No, no, no. I have to get back to work for you. You have to get that rest that I ordered you to get. Oh gosh. Mm-hmm. I knew you would find a way to pull rank, but you know what? Hmm? To complete that game, huh? And I am not going to let you leave without giving me another kiss. Oh, okay.

Mm-hmm.

There we go. All done. I’ll just run this down to the hospital. You know, I could go with you, huh? I think I’m feeling up to it. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. You stay here and rest. I insist I’ll be back at two shakes of a lamb’s tail. Oh, I know you’re probably going stir crazy in here, but do this my way. It’s gonna be best for all of us.

Now listen up. This is what I need you to do. I was alone when you got here. But before that, my son, Dimitri was here and we were having breakfast fussy eater that he is. He turned his nose up at the breakfast sausages. Ah, I see. He is lost then. Good to know. I’ll make sure to include it on the menu for your last meal.

Your last meal is a bachelor before your wedding day sausages. Better write that down so I don’t forget.

Ah,

quite the shopping list, Ralph. That was the last time I performed work like this was under trying circumstances to say the least. Lots of proper tools. This time, instead of having to resort to a collection of kitchen implements and pub paraphernalia, not too much to ask in exchange for my talents, I suppose not.

Plutonium. If you want my work to stick this time, I need everything on that list. Everything okay? Okay. Relax. You’ll get it. Excellent. That is the subject. Now, we’ll make him available to you very soon. Is it really today to reconsider Megan’s fate? I mean, honestly. I mean, it doesn’t make any sense to disappear her into parts unknown if she’s just gonna escape and make her way back here.

Okay. Okay. Take my word for it. Once she’s gone, she’s not coming back. Is that arrogance or confidence? Michael’s experience.

What is it? It’s Megan, she’s leaving the house as we speak. I better go. Good luck. Luck will have nothing to do with this.

I guess Megan already left. I was gonna ask her if she thought there was a small chance Christian could make an appearance at our engagement party, but you’re right as you always are. I should just call her myself. All right. I’m gonna give her a ring and uh, let you know what she says. Love you.

Why the hell would Kristen go to New York without her phone

friend Michaels. You following me?

We have unfinished business. Megan,

your moments are numbered. Megan Deir, you Smart, evil witch. First sign of insanity. Hey, Jayda, talking to yourself. I’m in. Uhha. Right. Although I’m not sure that you heard what I was saying. Oh, I, I didn’t actually. Right, right. I was just bemoaning the fact that my son Rex really gets in touch with me. You know, the doctor.

Right, right. Mm. So, um, is that rave that I saw leaving before? It was actually. Mm-hmm. So did you take my advice?

Alright, let’s start from the beginning. Tell us everything you saw.

Hey, Brandon. No, no, there still no news about that. But I was at the station a couple of minutes ago when Eli and Raf got a call. Yeah, leave. I think, well, they rushed out to check it out without telling me much about it, but, um, hopefully we’ll finally get some answers.

You are gone for a long time, Pauline. I’m sorry Hun, but I wanted to wait for your test results and, and. You passed with flying colors. Good news. Oh, I was walking way over there when I saw someone by the edge of the docks and he looked, uh, totally out of it. What do you mean out of it? Uh, wobbly, like unsteady.

And then the next thing I know, uh, he just stumbles and hits his head on one of the pylons. And, and then splash right into the drink. And then I, I ran over here, but he must have sunk like a stone because I, I can’t swim otherwise I would’ve jumped in after him. Mm-hmm. And no one else was around. Uh, I called for help, but no one came.

All right. You stay here. We’re gonna check this out. Hey Ray, look at this. Yeah. It’s blood. It’s fresh.

Oh God, what’s this?

What is it?

Abraham Carver.
