THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

4:00 AM in Hong Kong. I wonder, I feel like crap. Survived a life consultation with Father and come back to Bills.

And this,

that must be death wrapping out my door.

Close enough. Hello, Mr. Shin. I’m Megan. I know who you are. You’re Megan Hathaway, the one who stole that crystal from me, please. It was never really yours in the first place. And it’s Megan Deira. Yeah. Well it’s great catching up. Not so fast. You and I have important business to discuss.

Yeah. More. There you are. Oh, somebody’s in a good mood. I just got the best news ever. Yeah. My divorce, Lee, it’s final. You are looking at a single woman. Oh, not for long. You hear that? What? What? Wedding bells in the distance of getting closer all the time. Oh, Stephan, I cannot wait to be your wife and I can’t wait to be your dooring husband.

And as Salem’s preeminent power couple, you’ll have the world by the colons. Yes. We’ll, oh, I wouldn’t be so about that.

Oh, hey Eric. Hi. Hey. Any news with Abe? No. Sloan’s brother continues to deny that he’s had any involvement in his disappearance. Sloan believes him. So does Rave. Yeah. Well, I’ll keep praying that they find Abe soon.

Hey, wait,

how are you? How’s everything going? I assume you’re talking about the pregnancy. I mean, EJ and I have a meeting with the Perinatologist tomorrow, you know, specialist for high risk pregnancies. Right. Well, I hope everything works out. That should tell you that you can have e j’s, baby

lady whistleblower can blow it out as whistle. He doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Sarah and Xander are over for good. There’s no reason to think that that would change.

Okay. You can do this. Funny girl. You can keep Sarah’s pregnancies. See if get easy peasy. Just gotta stay away from Xander. Some just don’t. Okay. Yes, I heard you coming. How did you know it was me? Uh, can’t you see why you’ve got those clo hoppers? I mean, they make a certain flop every step you take and people could hear miles away.

I don’t have particularly big feet. And they certainly don’t flop, do they? No, no, no, no. Don’t do, don’t you come near me. Just, just, just, just please stay the hell away from me.

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

Displaced. It was only to freak out. Oh, wait, I know exactly why this is happening. You do. Who told you? No one told me. I just know I, you’re still afraid of me because I. Held you captive, disguised as a killer clown. Yes. That’s, that’s why I freaked out when I saw you. Yeah, I understand. Probably having trauma flashbacks, a big flopping clown shoes coming towards you.

I clown feet is exactly right. Boy, I wasn’t wearing CLA shoes when I kidnapped you. It’s true, but you know what? That’s not really important. The important thing is that that is just so far in the past and I’ve forgiven you, and I know you would never, ever do anything like that again. And the only reason that you were driven to do such dastardly deeds is because he wanted to provide for Sarah and what husband wouldn’t wanna provide for his wife.

Huh? Huh uh, ex-wife. Sarah’s your ex-wife. Two are divorced, she is gone and she is never coming back and you two are never getting back together. He’s Bonnie Leon thick. I’m sorry, I really stepped in. I just know that I meant well. Please meant well, but reminded me how much Sarah needs me. Oh, but she doesn’t, I mean, it’s not hate that she feels, I mean, how would I know how she feels now?

E, even if it is hate that she feels that could change. Because you know what? Things can change. You know what they say? Nothing is for certain except for death. And babies of change. Death attacks isn’t change. Right? Those things are definitely certain. Oh yeah. Ooh, glad we’re on the same page. It is hot here.

I’m gonna get going. Okay. Bonnie, if you have forgiven me and you’re not scared of me anymore, Then why did you shriek and run away when I walked in?

Well, there are no guarantees, but a lot has changed since Holly and there have been some major advancements in the treatment of high risk pregnancies like mine, right?

I hope they tell you some really good news tomorrow. I mean, after everything you’ve been through, you really deserve this.

Yeah. I don’t know about deserving it, but I am happy that maybe I get to be a mom again.

Okay. Yeah. You, you take care of yourself. Yeah. You too,

isn’t it? A little too early in the morning for a drink brother. Shouldn’t you be heading to the office? I would like to wine, wine first, if that’s all right with you. Tough morning. Just somewhat intense, but in a good way. We do get a lot of research trying to find the best possible specialist for Nicole and flying in an expert tomorrow, uh, perinatologist, who will hopefully tell us that Nicole will be able to carry out Charles the time well, I really hope it works out for you guys as you are.

Thank you. And the timing could be perfect because by that time you’ll likely be free. You know? Once the little one comes around and you could be a stay at home dad. It’s like a trend now, isn’t it? All my days will be anything but free when this child is born. You see, I’ll be very busy ensuring that my son or daughter inherits the legacy of our father’s company.

So I will be doing everything on my power to stop Salem’s most incompetent couple from leaving it in ruin.

You don’t have the votes to stop us ej, nor do you have the votes to stop me. No. We damn well do because not only do we have each other’s vote we have Kristen. Kristen. Yes, I know you believe you’ve secured her support. I also know how to be quite mercurial mercurial. Fickle tends to turn on a dime, as I’m sure you two have observed, but that notwithstanding, I have secured our other sister’s vote.

So you may have Kristen’s support. For the time being, I most assuredly have Megan’s, I assume you still have eyes and ears of the company, Mr. Shin? I do. So then you are aware of the fact that there is a power struggle brewing, hard to mess trust. You’re here representing ejs interests. I am here representing my own interests.

You see, my little brother Elvis is a sweet boy, but when it comes to being ruthless in cutthroat, he doesn’t batten my league. Well, you must know I’m out at Tamara, so not quite sure you still have a vote, which I promised to Gabby Hernandez. Who is madly in love with my other half-brother Stephan. So you’ve pledged your loyalty to a woman who’s pledged hers to another man, Wiley.

Why are you going to let someone who used you and betrayed you, keep you from getting what you want?

Chloe. Hey. Hey. I hope I’m not interrupting. No, of course not. Come here and of, oh, I’ve missed you, my friend. We have fairly spoken since I left Basic black. Uh, yeah, it’s my bad. I I should have been better at keeping in touch. No, the phone works both ways. How, how are you, how’s it been teaming up with EJ at the mothership?

Oh, well that’s been eventful, in fact. Um, Life in general has been pretty eventful. Mm. Well, now you’ve got my attention. What’s been going on with you? Well, for starters, uh, I’m pregnant.

Hey, hey, how’s your meeting Go with the da. It’s a disaster actually. My brother’s still refusing to plead guilty and trusts out for blood.

He’s facing a lot of time in prison for what he did up on that rooftop. There’s nothing really I can do to help him.

I know what he did was unspeakable to Mayor Carver and Paulina Chanel. But you know, he’s, he’s still, my family’s is the only family I have left. You have me. I’m here for you.

Huh? So now you wanna know why I freaked out when I saw you? Yeah, you totally freaked out on me. I mean, why did you scream at me to get back? Well, because I feel cold coming on and I didn’t want you to catch it. And you know that feeling when you just have the s just going, oh. When was that? Was that sneeze or a cough?

Oh, both. I’m sorry, my nose is running and my throat’s kinda scratchy. Ooh, I should, I should just probably be wearing a, a mask, you know? I don’t wanna infect people with myy germs. Yeah. So, right. Yeah. Look, I was actually looking for a Maggie shirt around upstairs, I think. Okay. You know what? I’m just, I’m just gonna get the long way around.

Understand this. Hey, it’s a good idea. You probably, yeah. Should go.

Oh wow. She’s pregnant. What? She told you she’s pregnant? No, she didn’t tell me. I just got a news alert. A news alert? Yeah. But you just said she told you she was Bonnie, who do you think was pregnant?

I mean, I wish I could have helped him. If I would’ve known what was going on, I could have stepped in. I could have tried to stop him. It’s, you’re here for him now. He’s damn lucky to have you in his corner. This big sis is there for thanks. I’m lucky to have you in my corner.

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

When I said someone was pregnant, who did you think I meant? Who? Um, who it was, was the. The person you said was pregnant is who I thought it was. Knew. So you knew that Nicole was pregnant? Nicole, of course I knew. But have lady at Whistleblowers column only just published to the site. She just published on the maybe for.

You, it just published, but I, I just happened to be one of Lady Whistleblower’s premium. I. Subscribers. Mm-hmm. Oh, you’re a little blowy. Ah, that’s me. Not really fond of that name, but uh, then again for 4 99 a month, I get all the dish on Salem’s hot dos before the general public. I see. Yeah. Well, we’re happy to have you.

I’m so glad I approved that revenue stream. Oh, me too. I wouldn’t wanna be in the dark when the next big secret drops. I hate to be the last one to know about that stuff. Right. Yeah. Well, anyway, I really should find Maggie, who’s great, catching up better. What do you have to tell Maggie? Anything juicy? I, well, I don’t think it’s anything that Lady Whistleblower would report on, but Maggie offered me Alex’s job at Titan, but I’m gonna turn her down.

Oh, sander. But I bet that position pays big bucks. It does, but as much as I love Maggie, I, all right. Being my own boss at the Spectator just means so much to me. Ah, I don’t wanna sabotage what’s happening between me and Chloe, between you and Chloe Lane. Do you know any other clothes? Kardashian, but that’s with a K.

Please don’t tell me you and Chloe are an item. Well, I don’t know if I’d use that exact term, but since she’s someone that I greatly admire, I’m happy to say that we are somewhat involved. Somewhat. What does somewhat mean exactly? How involved are you? Two? Wait, I’m sorry. So. You were saying that you cheated on EJ with Eric?

No, no, no. I did not cheat on ej. I just had a a one night stand with Eric, and it was while we were under the influence of those damn hallucinogenic biscuits. So it was just that one time. Yeah. You guys didn’t use birth control? Well, we were higher than kites, Chloe. Oh, so you didn’t know who the baby’s father was, but now you know.

Yes. I had a paternity test done. And I found out that EJ is the father, and it’s such a relief. But now my biggest concern is if I can carry this baby to term, and I know I don’t have to tell you, it’s, it’s been my biggest problem. Right. And if you need me again too, Nicole, I’m here. No, no, Chloe, thank you so much.

But there have been a lot of advances in treatments for high risk pregnancies, so EJ and I are gonna see specialists tomorrow to determine if I can carry this baby myself. Well, that’s so wonderful. I’m, I’m praying that you get good news. Me too. So is EJ happy? He is over the moon and you. Are you in love with ej?

He’s been so good to me. Wow. That does not answer my question Well, that is the best answer that I have for you right now, Chloe. Okay. Well, I know that you said you’re relieved that EJ is the father of your baby because you two are dating and Eric is now with Sloan. But no, no, no. Chloe, please do not go there.

I’ve had a hard enough day as it is, and I, since I already know what you’re gonna ask. No, no. I do not wish, nor have I been wishing that Eric is the baby’s father. What? What is that look? Just makes me think of that line from Hamlet. You know the one that goes, the lady doth protest Too much me thinks.

Eric, when I walked in here before you looked like you had something weighing on you. Oh, please. You’ve been here for me. I wanna be here for you too. Oh, my partners, right?

I ran into Nicole in the square. I see. You know what? Maybe we shouldn’t talk about this. No, no. It’s okay. You don’t have to hide your feelings from me, Eric. Look, I know how disappointed you are. How you wish. You’d have been the father of Nicole’s baby.

I would not put too much stock in Megan. I mean, aside from her being a homicidal mania. Oh, as opposed to Kristen. You mean post to child for rationality and trustworthiness? Okay. Yeah, yeah. Okay. We, we, we both have seen Kristen and Megan put their heads together. You know, they joined forces to get out of prison, so obviously they’re thickest thieves.

So what makes you think they’re gonna stop now and dilute their power by voting separately? Gabby has a point. So ej, maybe it’s time you and I bury the hatchet and not in each other’s backs. So you are suggesting me what? Consolidate power of formal lines. That’s exactly what I’m suggesting for our sisters.

Take both of us down.

I know what it’s like to be slighted, rejected. And to lose the love of one’s life to someone who’s unworthy. Well, that just makes it all the more painful, doesn’t it? So you consider your brother unworthy, my half-brother, please. Birthed by the loaves from Living Aloma

inferior stock. Not to mention that she’s a total psycho. So if I’m reading you right, you’re assuming that my losing Gabby to Stephan and the resulting animosity I therefore harbor towards him and her would motivate me to become entangled in your machinations to take over the company by job. I think he’s got it.

No, not gonna happen. You see when it comes to being ruthless and cutthroat. I don’t batten your league either. Mr. Demara don’t be so modest. Mr. Shen. You see Kristen did fill me in on your own machinations to take over enterprises. How you seduced Gabby? How you brainwashed Stephan? And how you would’ve pulled the plug on him Had Kristen not stopped you?

No. Perhaps the next time that that swine is on death’s door, you won’t be quite so lucky, my son. You seriously considering killing your own brother?

You know, my father was a master chess player, used the game as a metaphor for life and taught me to do the same.

That doesn’t answer my question. I thought that was a rhetorical one. It wasn’t Mr. Shen. I see both of my brothers as kings. Slow moving pieces. Who can move only one step in every direction forward, backward, to the side or diagonally. Whereas I see myself as a queen who is free to move around the board in any direction she chooses.

Mm. But there’s one more queen on the board. Is there not? Gabriela Hernandez. Yes, and I have been watching her moves very closely. Turns out that she’s an emotional queen, isn’t she? She’s hotheaded, high strung one who might be easily knocked off her pants. By the elimination of her king, which is why I’ve come to you.

Now, speaking for myself, I can say that the thought of Hope Brady, with the man that I love leads me to impulses that can only be described as homicidal. So I ask you, Mr. Hin, as you sit here in your sister’s, Modest department. No job, no power. And no love. And then you think of the man that took all of that from you.

Can I safely assume that you might perhaps be feeling burned, humiliated? Would winked and therefore aching for retribution.

Megan is still fixated on Bo Brady and Kristen is obsessed with Brady Black. I doubt that they are in any shape to make any major moves. Hm, wrong. Unlike men, women are excellent multitaskers, and those two are no exception. They can chew gum and walk all over you at the same time. Believe me, the only woman I’m concerned about is the one in this room.

If I’m, again, foolish enough to ally myself with my brother, I know it won’t be long before he throws me over in an attempt to secure said woman my share of power. Okay. Gabby and I have made no secret of our aspirations, but maybe it’s time for the three of us to consider our life balance. Life balance.

What the hell are you talking about? You’re right about me and Stephan. My divorce from Lee just came through and Stephan and I are getting married and you have a new baby on the way. So you are suggesting, I am suggesting that there is more than enough money and power to go around De Marisol. The three of us can find a way to peacefully coexist and eliminate our mutual enemies.

Maybe just, maybe we can all start the next chapter of our lives with a modicum of harmony. What do you say, brother?

So it’s not about Nicole. I just, I really wanted to be a father. But between Judah’s pregnancy termination, and now this, maybe faith is just trying to tell me. It’s not in the cards for me. I don’t believe in fate or destiny or whatever else you wanna call it. And Eric, why isn’t it in the cards for you to have a kid?

Huh? It hasn’t happened just because. It just hasn’t happened. It doesn’t mean it can’t. You’re young, you’re healthy, so why don’t you have a baby with me?

Well, I’m protesting because it’s not helping Chloe, and it’s pretty insensitive too to suggest that I would rather have Eric be the father, especially since I told you he’s not. And, and, and what good does it do to wish otherwise? You are right. I’m sorry my friend. I’m, I’m sorry too. I, I know that you didn’t mean to upset me.

No, I, I didn’t, but you’re right. I was being insensitive. I wasn’t thinking. I look, Eric and Saloon are together now, and EJ and I are together, and EJ is my baby’s father, and I am so grateful. And he’s been nothing but sweet to me and patient. And we are committed to each other and this baby. Well, that’s good.

I’m, I’m happy for the both of you. I’m, I’m praying everything works out. Thank you. And what about you? What about me? I never imagined you working here at The Spectator. Yeah, me neither. But Sander offered me this job and. He doesn’t really take no for an answer,

so you and Sandra are working together and living together Uhhuh, and by the look on your face. Please do not tell me something is going on between the two of you.

Sandra, answer me. How involved are you with Chloe Lane? Why not see you care, Bonnie? Because I’m curious. That’s all. I’m sorry, but I’m not the kind to kiss and tell you kissed. Oh, come on. Spill it. Cat’s outta the bag here. All right. We did share one kiss. Actually, there were three kisses, but I got slapped the first two times.

Oh, so only one kiss where you didn’t get slapped. I’ve already shared too much Bonnie, and to be honest, I don’t really understand why you’re so interested in how many times I kissed Chloe or any other woman. I mean, Why is it with you? What’s going on, Bonnie? All right, I’ll tell you. Okay, Xander, you are making a huge mistake and you need to stop this kissing business with Chloe immediately.

Why? Why? Because of Sarah.

Bonnie, Sarah and I are divorced as you just brought up. She and I were, we’re through. We don’t even talk anymore. That’s beside the point. How is that beside the point, you may not be in touch. All right? But gotta believe me when I tell you, if you get serious with Chloe, it’ll hurt Sarah’s feelings. And you have to believe me when I tell you, Bonnie, that.

Sarah’s doesn’t give a damn what I do. She’s too busy doing whatever with Rex. No. No, she’s not. That’s what I thought meant. I saw her and saw what conditions she what You saw her, her condition. Is she okay? No, she’s fine. She, she’s fine. Yes. I saw her in Chicago when I went to visit Mimi. Okay, well, what’s, what’s the less about her condition?

Oh, I shouldn’t have said condition. I, I, I, men are we, wait, she’s slim. Very slim. Well, she’s not eating. Oh, no. She’s healthy, happy, happy, happy, happy. She, she hasn’t let herself go. Mm-hmm. Hmm. Good. Um. Happy for her that she’s staying fit. Yeah, it’s, it’s always a good thing. Mm-hmm. Well, it’s always a treat.

Catching up with you, Bonnie, but I really should find Maggie now ex I knowand. Really? You have to listen. I understand that you, you’re just trying helpful. But my relationship with Chloe is none of you concerned, and Sarah, she’s in the past. There’s no reason for either of us to give a damn what is.

You may think that right now, right after Sarah has the baby, You both are gonna feel very differently.

You kissed Xander? Well, I kissed him three times, but after the first two times I slapped him. So I’m not sure that those count. Oh God, I can’t believe this. Oh, come on. Listen, I know that he has a history of violence. Deceit. Have you forgotten that he left you in the clutches of a ruthless Mexican drug cartel?

Have you forgotten that? He locked me in a shark cage. He ruined my relationship. My marriage with Eric. I thought if anyone hated Xander as much as I do, it’s you. Okay? Maybe a few weeks ago I would’ve agreed with you, but. You know that people can change and the more that I’ve spent time with him, I’ve just, I’ve discovered that he has his charms.

So I, I, I don’t know what to say. It’s okay. I guess it was a bit audacious of me to suggest that we have a child together. We’ve not even been together that long, but I mean, we do love each other and we’re committed to one another. Why can’t I be the one to give you the child you’ve always wanted? Some slowness isn’t something we just decide in the wake of what happened with Nicole.

This has nothing to do with Nicole. This is about us. Eric, listen to me. I’ve lost both my parents. My brother is about to go away for a very long time. I know family’s important to you. It’s important to me too, but I let all of that get so twisted for, for the wrong reasons, his anger. A hatred, but I’m done with all of that because of you.

Because kindness and your patience, your love God have given me so much. I just, I wanna give you something that you’ve always wanted. Won’t you let me do that for you?

Sloan. I dunno. It just, it feels so, so sudden. Well, it was sudden for EJ too, but I’m sure he is over the moon about it. Yeah, he, he is de flame.

I dunno. I think that you deserve everything in this world. A little precious baby on the way. A blessing. Fiji Damira gets to be a father. Why shouldn’t you?

Well, brother.

Yeah, not interested brother, but if you and Gabby want to give up and go work on your life balance, I’ll be happy to accept your letter of resignation as co c e o of the company. Short of that shall just say that the best of

Gabby did love me once, so if something terrible should happen to Stephan. The vulnerable widow de mera could very likely turn to you for comfort. Even if she did, I moved on from her. I had to.

So you’re telling me that if I gave you the opportunity to get her back, And to get back at my brother at the same time you turn me down.

Think about it, Lee. The next move in my little game could very possibly be yours.

Oh my God, Justin, I almost totally blew it. You know me, I can talk my way out of anything. It wasn’t it very clever of me to come up with the idea that I had a bad cold. Oh. Ooh. Oh no. Oh, no, no, no. I, I think I really am getting sick.

Oh, God. Oh God. Oh God. No. God is punishing me for lying. He is.

Oh, he has his charms. What the hell is that supposed to mean? It means that he’s, he’s kind and he makes me laugh, and he’s a really good cook. Chloe, who cares if he makes you laugh and is a good cook? Zaner is the lowest of Lowe’s, and you know that as well as I do. No, not anymore. Well, that’s because you’re not thinking straight.

Xander is a horrible excuse for a human being. His smug, arrogant, exterior hides all that rotten inside. Oh, come on Nicole. That’s how you really feel. Don’t listen to your friends here. Nicole’s just full of Sarah grapes cuz she had her shot with me and she blew it. Oh, there it is. Stupid arrogance. You know, you really are full of it.

You were just, but her loss, no. Is your game, Chloe. If you’re not going to slap him again, please allow me.

So what do you think? Should we start trying? Not gonna answer me. My answer is, I love you better than I know slow. This isn’t something that we need to rush into and the timing is, Right. You’re still getting a big disappointment. Okay. Well, whenever you are ready to become a father, You know where to find me.

I’ll keep that in mind. You’ll definitely be the first to know.

AJ made a huge mistake. Pop his ass. Hey, we tried and under the heading of the Pride Goeth before the fall, you and I are the only ones EJ needs to worry about taking him down.

I just left you, Mr. Shin. Miss me already what we talked about, taken Stefan down by any means necessary. Yes. Amen. Why is decision Mr. Shannon. And I’m sure with your help, my brother is not long for this world.

Update written by Joseph

Chad calls Stephanie and asks if she’s still preparing for the zoom meeting. Stephanie confirms that she thinks they are all ready to go and asks if he is on his way. Chad informs her that he’s actually not going to be able to make it. Stephanie asks if everything is okay. Chad tells her that he just has something he needs to take care of and he’s sorry. Stephanie offers to drop by his place after to fill him in. Chad doesn’t know if he’ll be free but says he’ll let her know. Stephanie says she will talk to him later then. Chad says goodbye and hangs up. Chad then goes to visit Abigail’s grave.

Bonnie is at the Kiriakis Mansion while on the phone with Sarah, assuring that she will keep her secret and won’t tell another living soul that she is pregnant with Xander’s baby. Bonnie hangs up and comments on Sarah being so wound up. Justin enters and is excited to see she’s home. Bonnie kisses him and says she missed him. Justin asks her to tell him everything about her trip to Chicago.

Chloe joins Xander at the Spectator office and delivers a major ad buy which impresses Xander, who says he told her she would be great at the job. Xander asks if she’s glad she didn’t quit now. Chloe admits today’s been a really great day and she thinks it’s because Gwen is not around.

Dimitri arrives at Gwen’s room but is shocked when Leo answers the door. Leo tries to pretend not to know him. Dimtiri brings up what happened in Phoenix and says it changed the course of his life. Leo jokes that he remembers him as Agent Kyle Graham and tries to shut the door but Dimitri stops him and says they have unfinished business, so he’s not going anywhere until it’s finally settled. Leo asks if he did something to offend him. Dimitri walks in and asks if stolen jewels ring a bell. Leo claims not really but then acknowledges when he swapped out the priceless emerald for a phony. Leo blows it off as a silly prank while Dimitri argues that it ruined everything for him. Leo apologizes and says he didn’t realize his prank was going to ruin his plans for world domination. Dimitri argues that it wasn’t about world domination but the money as he cost him a fortune. Dimitri grabs Leo and declares that now he’s going to make him pay.

Chloe asks Xander where Gwen is anyway. Xander responds that she apparently has some exclusive interview with Dimitri. Chloe comments on hearing he’s a dirtbag. Xander hopes it will drive their numbers and comments that at least it keeps Gwen out of Chloe’s hair for today. Chloe decides she should get back to work. Xander suggests she take a break so they can spend some time together. Chloe asks if they should keep things professional at the office. Xander agrees but says he can’t stop thinking about last night and specifically their kiss. Chloe admits she can’t either. Maggie then walks in and asks if she’s interrupting. Chloe says not at all as Xander asks what brings her by. Maggie says she’ll get right to the point and mentions having to let Alex go. Maggie then reveals that she would like to offer Alex’s job to Xander.

Alex goes to see Stephanie. She asks what he’s doing there. Alex asks if it’s a bad time or if Chad is there but Stephanie informs him that he’s not. Alex says he just wanted to come by and give her the good news that he’s officially employed again. Stephanie says that’s great, assuming that Maggie took him back. Alex confirms that Maggie did offer to rehire him, but he turned her down.

Chad lays roses at Abigail’s grave and says he can’t believe it’s been a year since they lost her. Chad talks about how it feels like just yesterday they were happy together, raising their kids and talking about having another baby. Chad says he could picture exactly what their lives would be like. Chad comments that sometimes it feels like he never lost her. Chad then hears a noise that startles him and he calls out to Abigail but it was Julie arriving with flowers. Julie says if Chad wants his privacy, she’ll come back later but Chad insists that she stay. Julie places her flowers at Abigail’s grave. They talk about Thomas and Charlotte visiting Jack and Jennifer in Boston. Chad blames himself for the kids acting out lately. Chad feels they know it’s the anniversary of their mother’s passing coming up. Julie encourages that Abigail is watching over him. Chad says he hopes so and wonders what she would think of him and Stephanie.

Stephanie questions Alex turning Maggie down and asks how he’s employed again then. Alex reveals that he took a job at DiMera which Stephanie questions. Alex explains that his cousin Brady offered him a position at Basic Black, so he took it. Stephanie comments that he’s working for the competition then and questions how Maggie feels about that.

Xander questions Maggie wanting him to work at Titan again. Maggie points out that she’s floated the idea before so it can’t be a surprise. Xander feels that Victor would never approve but Maggie says it’s not up to Victor and the only person that needs to be on board is him, so she asks Xander what he says.

Bonnie shows Justin pictures of her granddaughter Emily. Justin asks about Sarah. Bonnie questions why on earth he would ask her about Sarah. Justin explains that Sarah lives in Chicago and works with Rex, so he figures Rex must have mentioned her. Bonnie admits she saw Sarah, so Justin asks how she is. Bonnie says she’s good, claiming that she’s exactly the same and hasn’t changed a bit. Bonnie gets nervous and gets up to get water. Justin asks what’s going on with her. Bonnie says it’s nothing but Justin notes her being nervous, so he asks if there’s something wrong.

Leo asks Dimitri not to hurt him and offers to help him with whatever he wants. Dimitri responds that he only wants revenge. Leo then screams for Gwen to help him. Gwen comes out from the bathroom and questions what is going on. Leo tells her that Dimitri is trying to kill him. Gwen tells Dimitri to let him go but Dimitri says this is none of her concern. Gwen says it is as she reveals that Leo is her best friend. Dimitri asks if Gwen has any idea what Leo did to him. Gwen says no and she doesn’t care. Gwen threatens to call the police. Dimitri argues that she doesn’t understand. Gwen asks Dimitri if he wants to go back to prison or not.

Stephanie questions Alex not being worried about how Maggie and Victor feel. Alex says hell no after how they treated him. Alex argues that he and Brady would both still be working at Titan if it wasn’t for Victor’s decisions and remarks that if Maggie is such a good CEO, she won’t mind a little healthy competition. Alex says he just wanted to tell her the good news, but he should probably get going before Chad shows up and finds them together and he doesn’t want to piss Chad off. Stephanie responds that she doesn’t think Chad is showing up today as she’s pretty sure he’s with Abigail.

Chad tells Julie that he and Stephanie have been seeing each other for awhile now. Julie says she likes Stephanie, calls her a lovely person and notes that she’s wonderful with his children. Julie adds that Chad always seems happier when they are together. Chad admits that he is, but he still sometimes feels guilty for being with someone other than Abigail. Julie understands that he will always feel Abigail’s presence in his heart, but she thinks Abigail would want him to make room in his heart for someone else because she would want him to be happy. Chad tells Julie that after they found out Clyde killed Abigail, he came to her grave and he saw her and she told him to move on. Julie guesses that must have been comforting. Chad says it may have just been wishful thinking and hearing what he wanted to hear.

Bonnie tells Justin that nothing is wrong with her at all. Justin asks if she’s sure because she seems to be acting strange. Bonnie blames it on jet lag. Justin points out that she drove and they are in the same time zone. Justin can tell something is really upsetting her so he asks her what is going on. Bonnie states that Justin is her husband but also an attorney, so she gives him a dollar to be her attorney and says now they have attorney-client privilege. Justin questions if she did something illegal. Bonnie says of course not but she has a secret and her tongue’s going to explode if she doesn’t tell somebody. Justin asks her what it is. Bonnie then reveals that Sarah is pregnant with Xander’s baby.

Xander asks Maggie if Sarah won’t be upset if she hires him. Maggie says she might be but she knows she’s fond of him. Maggie admits part of her hopes Sarah will forgive Xander and come home someday. Xander doesn’t see that happening and says he’s not sure he’s ready to abandon the newspaper yet. Maggie thought he was already taking a step back because it was so awkward working with Gwen. Xander says it has been awkward as hell, but certain things about the job have improved recently. Maggie tells Xander to take some time to think about it, but notes that she does need to replace Alex soon and she hopes it’s with him. Xander says he’ll get back to her as soon as possible. Maggie hugs Chloe and says it was good to see her, adding that she loved her birthday gift from Chloe’s son Parker. Maggie reminds Xander to think about it as she exits the office. Xander tells Chloe that was unexpected. Chloe says Maggie obviously thinks very highly of him. Xander says he feels the same about her, but he’d be crazy to go back to work at Titan. Chloe asks why he didn’t just say no then. Xander says he didn’t want to be rude but Chloe suggests maybe deep down, he actually wants the job.

Gwen asks Dimitri to call a truce with Leo or she’s going to call the police. Dimitri then gets a text from Megan, reminding him that marrying Gwen is the key to unlocking his fortune. Dimitri then tells Gwen there is no need to call the police and apologizes to Leo for manhandling him. Leo says he has to get to work and calls Gwen a lifesaver as he exits. Gwen tells Dimitri that she knows Leo is a lot, but he has a good heart and he makes her laugh. Gwen asks if Dimitri is still willing to do the interview. Dimitri says of course. Gwen says she made a lunch reservation at the Bistro but Dimitri asks why not just do it here where it could be a lot more intimate.

Stephanie tells Alex that Chad was being very vague about his plans, but she figured it had to be important if he was blowing off a client meeting and then it hit her that today is the one year anniversary of Abigail’s death, so she’s sure that Chad just needed some time to process that. Alex asks why he wouldn’t just say that. Stephanie guesses it’s just something he has to deal with on his own. Alex is sure it’s still very painful for him. Stephanie asks how it couldn’t be. Alex adds that one thing he noticed is that Chad still wears his wedding ring. Stephanie admits she noticed that too. Stephanie says they haven’t talked about it but she totally understands that it must be hard to let go. Alex is surprised she’s so chill about all of this and living in Abigail’s shadow. Alex then apologizes, saying it came out wrong. Alex remarks that she somehow has to share Chad with Abigail’s memory. Alex calls her a strong person, so he knows she can handle it, and that Chad is really lucky to have her. Alex calls her understanding, caring, and says she doesn’t pressure Chad about anything. Stephanie thanks him and says that was kind and insightful. Alex credits Marlena’s therapy. Alex says he really does hope that Chad is okay.

Julie tells Chad that she knows it seems impossible that he actually saw Abigail, but maybe he did. Julie says they’ll never know, but she knows whether Chad imagined her or not, she knows Abigail would want him to get on with his life. Chad says he knows that sometimes, but other times he has an overwhelming feeling of guilt, like he’s betraying her. Chad says maybe he made up his vision of Abigail to give himself permission to be with Stephanie. Chad notes that it’s only been one year. Julie stops him and tells him that there is no timetable for grief and no right or wrong way to mourn. Julie calls guilt corrosive and says it will steal all of his happiness if he lets it. Julie tells Chad that he deserves to be loved and to have happiness for himself and for his children too, so they can see their father living a full life. Chad agrees. Julie points out that Chad is still wearing his wedding ring and says it’s none of her business but asks if wearing it is holding him back from moving on. Chad admits that maybe it is but he hasn’t been able to bring himself to take it off because he’s afraid that if he does, it will make it final and he’ll really let her go. Julie encourages that Abigail will never be gone as she will always be with him in his heart and no ring will prove that to him. Julie thinks Chad feels guilt because he’s here and Abigail’s not. Julie says life is a gift, so they should treasure every bit of it that they get because it’s brief and limited for all of them. Julie urges Chad to forgive himself for finding love again and wanting to move in to the future. Julie tells Chad to be thankful for all the moments.

Gwen tells Dimitri that she thinks it’s best that they keep things strictly professional. Dimitri claims he wasn’t thinking otherwise, just that restaurants are crowded and noisy, so he thought the interview might be better here so they are not disturbed. Gwen supposes he has a point. Dimitri offers to order room service so he can make up for getting off on the wrong foot with a fresh start. Gwen thanks him for lunch and for the interview. Dimitri states that normally, he detests interviews but for some reason, he’s looking forward to this one as something tells him that they are going to get along. Dimitri then calls to order room service.

Xander admits to Chloe that part of him would just love to go back to Titan as he used to dream about being part of the family business and finally feel like he belonged. Xander adds that it would be so satisfying to go back and rub it in Victor’s face by showing him that he made a mistake by not believing in him. Chloe jokes that she could see why that would be satisfying. Chloe guesses that Xander is taking the job then. Xander responds that he’s actually going to turn it down because as much as he enjoys spending time with Maggie, he enjoys spending time with Chloe much more. Chloe points out that they already live together. Xander feels it would be unfair if he abandoned Chloe at the job and left her with Gwen. Xander guesses he’s staying for her as they kiss.

Justin questions how on earth Sarah could be pregnant with Xander’s baby when she left town months ago. Bonnie explains that she was pregnant before she left but didn’t tell anybody, because she thinks Xander is a dangerous criminal and is trying to protect her unborn child. Justin understands since Xander did hold Bonnie and Susan hostage. Bonnie points out that did lead to Susan’s death. Justin questions why Sarah told her if she didn’t want anyone to know. Bonnie explains that she ran in to her and it’s kind of hard to hide her pregnancy at this stage. Bonnie adds that she tried to convince her that Rex was the father but she didn’t believe it, so Sarah finally confessed but begged her not to tell anyone. Bonnie complains that it was such a huge secret that she had to tell someone. Justin says he understands. Bonnie reminds him that this has to stay between them as no one, not even Maggie, can know that she’s pregnant. Maggie then comes home and asks who is pregnant and why she’s not allowed to know. Bonnie says it’s not just her, but no one can know, because she wants to keep it a secret. Maggie asks who, so Bonnie claims it’s her daughter Mimi that is pregnant and she doesn’t want people knowing until she’s through her first trimester. Maggie agrees not to say a word but calls it wonderful news and says Bonnie must be thrilled. Maggie admits she’s a little jealous, because she would love to be a grandmother again. Maggie then exits the room.

Xander and Chloe kiss in the office until Leo walks in and interrupts them. Leo says he just came for his paycheck. Xander hands it to him. Leo thanks him and asks if Xander is busy or if he has time to talk about his next column. Xander says he’s busy, so Leo will have to wait because someone else needs an answer from him ASAP. Xander then exits. Leo remarks on that being Chloe’s idea of platonic and calls it interesting. Chloe asks him not to say anything to Gwen because she hates her enough as it is. Leo says that Gwen has been over Xander for ages and is having lunch with a hot new hunk as they speak.

Gwen tells Dimitri that most of their readers view him as a James Bond type villain who threatens to obliterate entire cities to get what he wanted. Gwen knows that’s part of his story but she’d like to move beyond that and learn about the real Dimitri Von Leuschner. Dimitri asks what she would like to know. Gwen suggests starting at the beginning and asks what his childhood was like. Dimitri explains that he was an only child, raised mostly by his mother. Dimitri says he loves his mother dearly but she can be quite needy as she went through a lot before he was born. Dimitri says it sometimes felt like he was the adult in the relationship. Gwen says she knows what that’s like and asks about his father. Dimtiri says they didn’t have much of a relationship because he was always off on business and when he was home, he was cold, distant, and not much of a father figure. Dimitri remarks that he may as well have been absent from his life altogether. Gwen says it sounds like an awfully lonely childhood. Dimitri supposes it was but says he grew up with great wealth and is aware of how lucky he was, but looking back, he would’ve traded it all in for a modicum of unconditional love, if that even exists. Gwen thinks it does. Dimitri comments that she’s less of a cynic than he is then. Dimitri says when you’re deprived of love, it starts to eat away at you and to cope with it, he developed sort of a “me against the world” mentality and he’s never been able to shake it. Dimitri supposes that mentality has driven many of his less prudent life choices, like using weapons of mass destruction to bend governments to his will. Dimitri adds that in prison, you spend a lot of time with yourself, alone with just your thoughts and start to wonder how you hit rock bottom. Dimitri states that he realized his need for power and money was all born from the lifelong desire just to be loved. Dimitri tells Gwen to feel free to scoff as he realizes how wildly cliché that sounds if she thinks he sounds like a self-pitying narcissist. Gwen says she doesn’t and that she relates to it.

Julie tells Chad that she should get going, but she hopes he takes her advice to heart. Chad says he will and he appreciates everything she said. Chad calls her so wise and caring, noting that she really helped him. Julie says anytime he wants to talk, she’s always around. Julie tells Chad that she loves him. Chad says he loves her too as Julie then walks away. Chad sits down at Abigail’s grave and removes his wedding ring. Chad says he wants Abigail to know that when he saw her that day, he meant what he said, that he will love her forever as he then puts the ring in his pocket.

Chad goes to see Stephanie, who says she didn’t think she’d be seeing him today. Chad says he just wanted to come apologize for missing the meeting today. Stephanie says it’s okay. Chad says the truth is he went to go see Abigail. Stephanie says that’s what she thought. Chad apologizes for not telling her. Stephanie says he doesn’t owe her an apology. Chad kisses her and asks how the meeting was. Stephanie says it really good and they just finished right before he got there. Stephanie adds that the client wants to see the numbers he crunched. Chad says he has them and pulls them out of his bag. Stephanie notices Chad is no longer wearing his wedding ring. Stephanie then tells Chad that they will get to work as they sit together.

Gwen asks Dimitri if he’s still looking for that perfect love. Dimitri supposes that he is. Gwen asks if there’s anyone special that he fancies. Dimitri says sadly, no. Gwen asks if there ever has been. Dimitri admits there was someone that he thought was perfect for him, but he kept getting hurt until he finally had to walk away. Dimitri thinks Gwen might know what that feels like. Dimitri admits that last night, he overheard her speaking to Kristen and that she said she wanted to put someone named Xander behind her so she could start over with someone new. Dimitri apologizes for eavesdropping but says he’s secretly glad that he did because it made him realize they have a connection of sorts. Gwen tells him that it’s true that since hearing his story, she thinks it’s quite uncanny how much they have in common.

Chloe questions Leo about Gwen being on a date when she thought she was interviewing Dimitri. Leo confirms that she is, but one thing could lead to another. Chloe hopes he’s right because if Gwen is happy and moves on then she’s less of a problem for her and Xander. Leo says even if Gwen is out of the picture, what about Sarah Horton. Chloe asks what about her since she and Xander were over long ago and she doesn’t even live here anymore. Leo points out that even still, her spectre still loomed large over Gwen’s relationship with Xander. Leo remarks that Gwen always played second fiddle to Xander’s beloved Sarah and asks who’s to say that won’t happen to Chloe too. Chloe calls that ridiculous and assures that Sarah and Xander are done for good. Leo says if she says so and then exits.

Bonnie asks Justin if he thinks Maggie bought her story. Justin says they can hope so and jokes that she might need to let Mimi know that she needs to get pregnant right away. Bonnie says it’s all she could think of and that it’s all Justin’s fault anyway which he questions. Bonnie remarks that she was a much better liar before she met him and now she’s out of practice. Justin takes that as a compliment. Bonnie calls it a blessing and a curse because now she feels guilty about lying when she never used to. Bonnie brings up Maggie saying she can’t wait to be a grandmother again. Justin says that Sarah will eventually have to tell Maggie and she can’t keep the secret forever. Bonnie thinks Sarah just needs time to figure it out. Justin says she better do that soon because he’s not sure how much longer Bonnie can last with the secret. Bonnie insists that Justin is the only one she’s going to tell. Justin kisses her and says he has a client to meet as he then exits. Bonnie tells herself that she can keep Sarah’s pregnancy a secret easily but she’ll just have to stay away from Xander. Xander then enters the room.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Hello? Hey, Steph, still prepping for that Zoom meeting? Yeah, I just finished going over our proposal again and I think we’re in pretty good shape. You on your way? I’m actually not gonna be able to make it. Oh no. Why not? Is everything okay? I just have something I need to take care of. I’m sorry though. No worries.

I can, um, I can just drop by your place when I’m done and fill you in. I don’t know when I’m gonna be free, um, but I’ll let you know. I, yeah. Okay. I will talk to you later. Goodbye,

Sarah. Honey, will you. Relax. Of course, I’m gonna keep your secret. I am not gonna tell another living soul that you are pregnant with Ander’s baby. You betcha. Now you take care now, hun. Okay. Okay. Bye-Bye. Oh God. That girl has wound up tighter than a $2 watch. Hey Bonnie, you’re home. I didn’t know you were here.

I just got in this second. Oh my God. How I miss you? Oh, oh, I miss you. That was Chicago. Tell me everything.

Hey, bam. What’s this? Oh, just a major ad buy from Saxon’s department store. Excellent. Wow. That’s some bottom line. How’d you get ’em to fork over so much cash? Well, I happen to know Mr. Saxon from working at Basic Black and we always got along and I just turn on a little charm and he was putting my hands see.

Told you you’d be great at this job. Ain’t glad you didn’t quit. Yeah. Today’s been a really great day. Stress free. I think it’s because Gwen’s not around.

Gwen, did you order me room service?

You do. I know you. Oh, I should hope so. Since what happened in Phoenix changed the course of my life. Oh, right, Phoenix. I remember you now you’re agent Kyle Graham, of course. You and and Billy Reid were very cute together. Very Mr. And Mrs. Smith, any who? I’d love to stay in chat. That’s so fast, Mr. Stuck. You and I have unfinished business.

Do we? We do. And you’re not going anywhere until it’s finally settled.

Like Sam through the hour class. So are the days of our lives.

Did I do something to offend you? Do stolen jewels ring a bell? Um hmm. No, not really. Oh, oh, you mean when I swapped out that priceless emerald for a phony? Is that what this testosterone driven posturing is all about? Because really it was just a silly prank. Nothing to get riled up about. Riled up a silly prank.

You know? Your silly prank ruined everything for me. Okay. Okay. I’m sorry. Really? I am. I didn’t know that my little caper was going to. Poor your evil plans for world domination. Listen to me, you simpering idiot. It wasn’t about world domination. It was about me becoming very, very rich. You cost me a fortune not to mention my own freedom, and now I’m going to make you pay.

So where is. Gwen. Anyway, apparently she scored some exclusive interview with Dimitri Vaughn. Ner Ner. Yeah, I heard that guy is kind of a dirt bag. Yeah. Unfortunately Dirtbag sell, but hopefully it’ll be good for our numbers and he keeps her out of your hair police for today. That is true. Well, I should get back to work or you could take a break.

I was hoping we could spend a little time together thought You think we should keep things professional here at the office? Absolutely. Professionalism is very important, but I can’t stop thinking about last night and specifically like it’s you. Me neither. So maybe Hello? You too. Oh, hi. Am I interrupting?

No, not at all. Maggie. Hi. Nice to see you. Hi. How are you, Chloe? What brings you by? Um, okay. Well, I’ll get right to the point. I don’t know if you’ve heard I had to let Alex go. I did. And good for you. Well, it might be good for you as well, sander. Because I would like to offer you Alex’s job.

Oh, hey. Hey. What are you doing here? Well, I just wanted to, oh, is this a bad time, Ms. Chad here? No, uh, he’s not. Oh, okay. Well, I just wanted to come by and tell you the good news. Well, I would love to hear some good news. What is it? I am officially employed again. Oh my gosh. That’s great. Mm-hmm. I told you Maggie would take you bash.

She needed some time to cool down. Yeah, yeah, you’re right. And she did offer to rehire me, but I turned her down.

Hey, Abby.

Can’t believe it’s been a whole year since we lost you,

and it seems like yesterday we were together. Happy raising Thomas and Charlotte.

I’m just thinking about having a new baby.

I think about it all the time.

We would’ve been successful, but we’ve had a boy girl, her,

hello. We would’ve been Christ. We were trying to juggle two kids and a newborn baby.

I know that we would’ve loved every minute of it, though.

I can picture it, you know. I could picture exactly what our lives would be like.

Sometimes it seems so real.

Feels like I never lost you.

Julie, I startled you. No, God, nevermind. You want your privacy? I’ll come back later. Please stay.

So, uh, did Thomas and and Charlotte get off? Okay. Yeah. Yeah. It all worked out. Jack and Jennifer picked him up from the airport in Boston earlier. Oh, that’s great. They’ll have a lovely visit. Yeah, I hope so. I think they needed a change of scenery. Yeah. They’ve, they’ve been acting out a bit lately. I’m sure you noticed.

It’s my fault. Yeah. I should have. I didn’t talk to him, you know, and I know they know Subc consciously, and it’s the anniversary of their mother’s passing coming up. They feel it. You know, children always understand more than we give them credit for.

Abigail is watching over you, darling. I truly believe it. Yeah, I hope so.

I wonder what she would think about me and Stephanie. Wait, I don’t understand. You turned Maggie down. So how are you employed again? I took a job at Demara. What? My cousin Brady offered me a position at Basic Blank and I accepted. So you’re working for the competition? Mm-hmm. Wow. And, um, how does Maggie feel about that?

Let me get this straight. Sorry. You, you want me to work at Titan again? Well, I floated this idea before. Surely it can’t come as a complete surprise. What about Victor? He’d never approved and he’s barely spoken to me since I quit. It’s not up to Victor. The only person who needs to be on board with this decision is you so.

What do you say?

Isn’t my granddaughter the cutest? She’s adorable. Wait, wait, wait, wait a minute. Are you teaching Emily Poker? Well, yeah. You’re never too young to learn it’s math, which is what I tried to explain to Mimi and Rex, who weren’t too thrilled. I bet. So what’s going on with Sarah? What do you mean? Why on earth would you ask me about Sarah?

Well, she’s living in Chicago and she’s working with Rex, so I figured he must have mentioned her, right? Oh, yeah, sure, sure, sure, sure, sure. Um, actually, I, I saw her. Oh, how is she? Oh, she’s good. I mean, she’s the same. Exactly the same. Hasn’t changed a bitch. The same old, same old. Oh, is it hot in here? Oh, hotter than Billy goat with a blow torch attack.

Need some water?

What’s going on with you? What you mean? What’s going on with me? Nothing. Well, you seem to be a little nervous. Bonnie is, there’s something wrong. Please don’t hurt me. I will give you anything you want. All I want right now is revenge. Okay. Well, if I can’t change your mind, can I please say one last thing?

Make it quick. Thank you, GWE. Save me Gwenie. Come and help me please. Going on here. What does it look like? He’s trying to kill me for heaven sake. You let him go. This is none of your concern, Gwen. Actually, it is because Maddy is my best friend, Maddy. Yeah. Maddy, you’re not the only with an alias. Kyle, do you have any idea what your best friend here did to me?

No, and I don’t care. Now, are you gonna stop this nonsense or am I gonna phone the police when I don’t think you understand? It doesn’t matter. The only thing that matters is this. Do you want to go back to prison or not?

So you are really not worried about how Maggie feels? Hell no. Or Victor? Nope. Nope. Hell no. Especially after the way they treated me. I mean, come on. If, if, if Uncle Vic wasn’t so dismissive with his personal decisions, both Brady and I would still be working at Titan. And if Auntie Mag is such a good CEO O I’m sure she won’t mind a little healthy competition, I guess.

Anyway, I just wanted to tell you the good news she probably get going before Chad shows up and finds us together. Don’t wanna piss off Chad. I don’t, I don’t think Chad’s showing up today. I’m pretty sure he is with Abigail. Yeah, Stephanie and, and, and I have been seeing each other for a while now. Yes.

Well, I like Stephanie. She’s a lovely person. She’s wonderful with your children, and you always seem happier when the two of you’re together. Well, I am. I still feel guilt. Guilty. You know, uh, being with someone who isn’t abbey, not always, sometimes today I do. I understand you love somebody as much as you liked Abigail, you’re always gonna feel her presence in your heart.

But I think Abigail would want you to make room in your heart or someone else, cuz Abigail would want you to be happy.

Yeah. She told me she wanted me to move on. What do you mean? Yeah. After we found out that Clyde was responsible for Abigail’s death, I came here. And I talked to her.

I know it sounds crazy, but she talked back to me. I swear to you, I saw her. I held her in my arms.

Well, that must have been comforting.

Yeah, it was.

Maybe it was just wishful thinking. You know, me telling myself what I wanted to hear, what I wanted myself to hear. Nothing is wrong with me. Nothing at all. Are you sure? Mm-hmm. Because, um, seem to be acting a little strange.

It’s just probably jet lag. Jet lag. Mm-hmm. You know, you drove Chicago and we’re in the same time zone. It’s true. Silly me.

Okay, sweetheart, I can tell something’s really upsetting you, so just talk to me. What’s going on.

You know what, what you,

you are my husband, obviously. Yeah, but you’re also an attorney. I. Uh huh So, so

now you’re my attorney, which means we have attorney code privilege. Bonnie, did you do something illegal? No. No, of course not. No. I just got the secret. I wanna tell. And if I don’t tell it, my tongue is gonna explode and I just love off somebody. All right. What is it? Sarah’s pregnant with Sander’s baby.

Um, my god, I don’t know. I won’t, uh, won’t Sarah be upset if, if you are home? I, well, well, I suppose she might be, but she knows I’m fond of you. Oh, listen, to be honest, there’s a part of me that is hoping that Sarah will forgive you and she’ll come back home someday. Yeah. Well, I don’t see that ever happening, but, and honestly, I’m not sure I’m ready to abandon this newspaper just yet.

Well, wait a minute. I thought you were already taking a step away because it was so awkward working with, you know, with Gwen. Am I wrong? No, you’re not wrong. It’s, I’ve been awkward as hell, but, huh. I dunno. Certain things about the job have improved recently.

Oh. Well, okay, you just take some time and think about it. Not too much time though. I do need to replace Alex sooner than later. And I really do hope it’s you. Of course. Oh, I’ll get back to you as soon as possible. Wonderful. Chloe, it was so nice seeing you. Oh my goodness gracious. I see you too. Oh, listen.

Would you tell Parker that? I absolutely loved his birthday gift. He got me. Of course. I’ll tell him. Okay. So nice to see you. Oh, it’s so nice to see you. Think about it.

How is unexpected? Yeah. Well, Maggie obviously thinks very highly of you. I feel the same about her, but No, I mean, I’d be crazy to go back to work at time, wouldn’t I? Then why didn’t you just say No, I didn’t wanna be rude. Or maybe deep down, you actually want the job.

So what’s it going to be? Are you going to call a truce or am I going to call the police?

No, no need to call the police. I apologize, Mr. Stark. I shouldn’t have manhandled you. Oh, that’s okay. Normally I enjoy a good man handling. You’re right. It was too easy. Anywho, I have got to get to work. Guinevere, you are a lifesaver. Love you minutes.

Your best friend is, uh, yes, I know I, I know he’s a lot, but he has a good heart and he makes me laugh so,

Are you still willing to do the interview or, oh, um, of course. Brilliant. Okay. Well, I’ve, I’ve made a lunch reservation at the Bistro, so we could just head over. Actually, I was thinking, well, why not just do it here? Could be a lot more intimate.

Chad was being really vague about his plans, but I, I figured they had to be important if he was blowing off a client meeting and then it hit me. Today is the one year anniversary that’s Abigail’s death. Wow. So I’m sure he just needed some time to process that. Well, why wouldn’t he just say that? I guess because.

It’s just something he has to deal with on his own right. I mean, obviously I’m sure it’s still very painful for him. Mm. How could it not be? Right.

You know, one thing I did notice though, um, what, nevermind. Oh, Alex, what were you gonna say? Um,

he still wears his wedding ring. Yeah, he does. I think I haven’t noticed that too.

We, um, we haven’t talked about it, but I totally understand. I mean, when you love someone so much, It must be hard to let go.

Wow. You’re just so chill about all this. Just living in Abigail’s shadow. Nope, nope. Sorry. That’s not what I meant at all. That that came up very, very wrong. Um, I didn’t mean that you don’t like measure up at all because you do. Um, it’s just that you have to. Somehow, I don’t know. You have to share Chad with Abigail’s memory.

You’re a strong person, Stephanie. I know you can handle it. Chad’s really lucky to have you. You’re understanding, caring. You’re always there for him. You don’t pressure him about anything. Thank you. That was much more tactful, not only tact. That was kind and insightful. Must be the therapy. I don’t know that Dr.

Evans, Hey, she’s a genius. Yeah. Anyway. I, um, I really do hope that Chad’s okay. Yeah, me too. I know it seems impossible that you actually saw Abby, but who knows? What did Shakespeare ride in Hamlet? There are more things in heaven and earth than dreamt of in your philosophy. Maybe you did see her. I will never know that.

But I know one thing, whether you just imagined her or not, whether you just told yourself the things you wanted to hear or not. I know that she would want you to get on with your life and you know that too, don’t you?

Sometimes. Only sometimes other times I just, I’ve, I, um,

I just have this overwhelming feeling of guilt,

like I’m betraying her, you know what I mean? Well, maybe I just made up this vision of Abigail so I could give myself permission to be with Stephanie. Sleep long enough. It’s only been. A year since Chad stop, I have something to say and, and I want you to really hear me okay. There is no timetable for grief.

There is no right or wrong way to mourn, but one thing I know from living a long, long life is that guilt is corrosive. It will steal all of your happiness if you let it. So don’t you let it. You deserve to be loved. You deserve to have happiness, and not just for yourself, but for your children too. They need to see their father living a full life.

Yeah, you’re right. I see you’re still wearing your wedding ring. This is really none of my business. You can ignore anything I might say, but.

Do you think that wearing the ring is holding you back from moving on?

Yeah, maybe.

Maybe it, I just hadn’t been able to bring myself to take it off. I’m afraid that if I do, it’ll allow me

make it final and really let her go. My darling, she will never be gone. Abigail is always going to be with you in your heart and wearing a piece of jewelry, a little golden ring. It’s not gonna prove that to you. You don’t need it and you don’t have to prove it to anyone else in the world.

Another thing, the guilt that you feel, I think it’s because you are here. She’s not, it’s called survivor’s guilt,

but life is a gift. And we should treasure every single bit of it we get cuz it’s brief, it’s limited. It’s limited for all of us. So forgive yourself for finding love again, for wanting to move into the future. Forgive yourself. And be thankful for all the blessings you have and all the glorious joyous moments that are ahead of you.

Will you do that,

Mr. Vaughn Lona? I think that it’s best that we keep things strictly professional. Oh, I wasn’t suggesting otherwise. Well then why? It’s just that restaurants can be so crowded and noisy. I thought it might just be easier to do the interview here that we were not disturbed. Oh, right. Well, alright. I suppose you have a point.

Wonderful. Well then I will order us room service, my treat, of course. Oh, no, I can, no, I insist please. I think we might have gotten off on the wrong foot earlier, and I’d like to make it up to you fresh start. Of course, Mr. Von Lena, uh, as I said last night, please call me Dimitri. All right. Well, thank you in advance for lunch, Dimitri, and for the interview.

Hmm. Normally I, uh, I detest interviews. For some reason, I’m looking forward to this one. Something tells me that you and I are gonna get along

well, to be honest, I mean, God, part of me would just love to go back to Titan, I mean, Bro, not face to dream about being part of the family business and finally feeling like I belonged. I have to say, I mean, it would be so satisfying to go back and just rub it in Victor’s face showing that he made a mistake by not believing in me.

I could see why that would be satisfying. So I guess you’re taking the job

actually. I think I’m gonna turn it down. You are? Why? Well, as much as I enjoy spending time with Maggie, I enjoy spending time with you much more. Listen, we already live together and this job. Yeah, the job, right? I mean, I can’t abandon you to battle Gwen or by yourself. That wouldn’t be fair, would it? So what, you’re staying here for me?

Yeah, I guess I am.

How on earth could Sarah be pregnant with Xander’s baby? She left town months ago. Well, she was pregnant before she left. She just didn’t tell anybody. Why not? Isn’t it obvious? She thinks Sander is a dangerous criminal. She’s trying to protect her unborn child. Yeah, I guess I can see where she’s coming from.

I mean, he did hold you and Susan hostage. Mm-hmm. Which led to Susan’s death. She rest in peace. Well, if Sarah didn’t want anyone to know, why did she tell you? Well, I ran into her, bless her heart. It’s kinda hard to hide your pregnancy at this stage. So she tried to convince me that the father was Rex, which of course I didn’t believe, and then she finally confessed, but she begged me not to tell anyone her secret, but holy moral doesn.

It’s a huge of a secret for me to hold it. I just had to tell someone. Yeah. I understand Justin, this has to stay between us. No one, not even Maggie can know that she’s pregnant, who’s pregnant.

Hi Maggie. I didn’t know you were home. I just got back. So who’s pregnant? And why am I not allowed to know? Well, well, it’s not just you. No one can know. She wants to keep it a secret. She who? Mm-hmm. Mimi. Yes, Mimi is. She’s pregnant and she doesn’t want too many people know until she’s through her first trimester.

You know how that goes. Oh, yes. Of course. Of course. I won’t say a word. Thank you. Thank you. Well, that’s, that’s, that’s wonderful news though. No, you have to be thrilled. Oh, thrilled. If yes, the word yes. Now I have to admit a little jealous. Mm. I’d love to be a grandmother again. Oh yeah,

him. Sorry to interrupt. I just wanted to grab my paycheck.

Thanks, Xander. Are you busy or do you have time to talk about my next column? Busy. You’ll have to wait. Someone needs an answer from me. Air sap.

So that’s your definition of platonic. Interesting. Listen, Leo, can you please not mention this to Gwen? She hates me enough as it is. Girl, please. Gwen is so over that Scottish longhead has been for ages. As a matter of fact, she’s having lunch with a hot new hunky hun. Even as we speak, you know, most of our readers view you as this sort of James Bond type villain.

Who threatens to obliterate entire cities to get what he wanted. And I know that that’s, um, part of your story, but um, I would actually like to move beyond that. And, um, well, I’d like to learn more about the real Dimitri Vaughn Leischner. What would you like to know? Well, how about we start at the beginning.

What was your childhood like? My childhood. Well, I was an only child raised mainly by my mother, whom you’ve met, whom I love dearly, although I, she can be quite needy. You see, she went through a lot before I was born. And come to think of it, sometimes it felt like I was the adult in the relationship. Yes, I know what that’s like.

And, um, what about your, your father? Ah, yes, the venerable Oscar Ner. My father. My father, my father and I didn’t really have very much of a relationship because he was always off on business traveling. And when he was home, he, well, he was cold. And distant, not exactly what you would call a, a fatherly figure.

In fact, I would go as far as to say he may as well have been absent from my life altogether. Sounds like an awfully lonely childhood. Yes. Yes. I suppose it was. Of course I grew up with great wealth and privilege, and I am fully aware of how lucky I was,

but looking back, I, uh,

I would’ve traded all in for just a, a modicum of unconditional love,

if that even exists. I think it does.

Well then you’re less of a cynic than I am anyway. When you’re deprived of love, it starts to eat away at you and to cope with this deprivation, I think I developed a sort of a me against the world mentality. And to be honest with you, I don’t think I’ve ever been able to shake it. And I suppose that it might be that mentality that’s driven many of my, shall we say, less prudent life choices?

Ah, you mean, um, your choice to use a weapon of a mass destruction to bend world governments to your will? Uh, yes. Like that. Mm. Among others

in prison, you spend a lot of time by yourself alone with just your thoughts to keep you company and you start to wonder. How did I get here? How did I hit rock bottom,

and do you know what I realized? No, I’m very eager to hear. I realized that my need for power and money was all born from a lifelong desire just. Just to be loved.

Please feel free to scoff. I just, uh, I realize how wildly cliche that sounds, and I’m sure that now you think that I’m just some self-pitying narcissist. So if, uh, I don’t know. No, I don’t. Um, I don’t, um, actually, I, I completely get it.

I should be going. I’ve given you a lot of advice. I hope, I hope you take it to heart. I will. I appreciate everything you said. You are always. You’re so wise and caring. You really helped me, Julie. Good. Anytime you wanna talk. I’m, I’m always around. I,

I love you. She, I love you too, Julie.

I want you to know, Abby,

well, I saw you here that day and that what I said.

I will love you forever.

Oh, hello. Hi. I didn’t think I’d seen you today. I’m in. I just wanted to come by and, uh, apologize for missing the meeting today. Oh, it’s okay. The truth is, is I went to go see Abigail. That’s what I thought. I’m sorry I didn’t tell you Chad. You don’t owe me an apology.

How was the meeting? It was really good. Actually, we just finished up right before you got here. And the client wants to see the numbers you crunched. Hmm? I have them right here.

Got them right here.

Great.

Let’s get to work.

So are you still looking for that perfect love?

I suppose I am.

And um, is there anyone special? No. Perhaps, um, anyone you fancy?

Sadly, no.

Has there ever been?

Yes, yes. There was someone that I thought was perfect for me, but I kept getting hurt. So finally, as painful as it was, I had to walk away. I think you might know what that feels like. Sorry. Excuse me. Forgive me. I, uh, last night at the house, I overheard you speaking to my aunt and you said something about wanting to put someone named Xander behind you and starting fresh with someone new.

Oh yes, I suppose I did say that. I’m so sorry. I really shouldn’t have been dropping, but secretly I’m glad that I did because it made me realize that perhaps you and I have a connection. Of sorts.

Um, yes, um, it’s true. I mean, honestly, since hearing your story, I am. I think it’s quite uncanny how much we have in common. Really. It’s Imagine that Gwen’s on a date. I thought she was interviewing Dimitri Von Leischner. Oh, well she is, but you never know. One thing could lead to another. Well, I hope you’re right.

If she’s happy and moved on, then she’ll be less of a problem for Xander and me. You know, even if Gwen is out of the picture. What about Sarah Horton? What about Sarah? She and Xandr have been over for a while now. I mean, she doesn’t even live here anymore and yet her Specter always loomed large over Gwen’s relationship with Xandr.

Poor Gwen always playing second fiddle to Xander’s. Beloved Sarah, who’s to say that won’t happen to you too? That’s ridiculous. They’re, they’re done for good. Trust me. You say so.

Oh Lord. Do you think Maggie bought my story? Let’s hope. And you may wanna let Mimi know that she needs to get pregnant. A sap. That’s the only thing I can think of. This is all your fault anyway. My fault. Yes, your fault. I was a much better liar before I fell in love with you. Now I’m outta practice. Oh, well I guess I should take that as a compliment.

Yes, it’s a compliment and a curse cuz now I feel guilty for lying and I never used to feel guilty before. Oh my God. Did you see Maggie? She can’t wait to be a grandmother again. Well, she will be, won’t Sarah eventually have to tell Maggie? I mean, it’s not like she can keep this secret forever, especially from her own mother.

Oh, no, you’re right. It just, I think Sarah needs time to figure it out, you know? Well, she better do that soon, because I’m not sure how much longer you can last before you put it in Skywriting. I really not. You’re the only one I’m gonna tell. Okay. I try to do that.

All right. I have a client to meet. Okay. Then you’ll be here when I get back. Oh, God, yes. All right. And keep your mouth. Mm, yeah. Ow

you can do this bunny girl. You can keep Sarah’s pregnancy a secret. Easy peasy. You just gotta stay away from Xander.

Recap written by Michele and Cheryl

Megan reminded Dimitri about his lunch with Gwen. He said he wasn’t going. He was looking at the will. He said she left out a few details about marrying for his inheritance. He said he had to be married for a year and if it was proven that it was under false pretenses, he wouldn’t get anything. She said he didn’t have to be upset about it. She said he could charm and romance Gwen. He said he was hoping he would have fun when he got out of prison. He said that would be hard if he was playing a devoted husband. Roman told Kate that there were no leads on Abe. He said he was going to help John and Steve look for him. Harris showed up and said he was there to keep an eye on Megan. He thought Roman would want him to stay away. Paulina was on the phone when Whitley came in the hospital room. When Whitley was about to leave, Paulina stopped her. She thanked Whitley for taking care of Abe. She said she didn’t know how they would have done it without her. Whitley said it was a joy to take care of him. She said it was terrible that Colin kidnapped him. Paulina said Colin wasn’t the kidnapper. She said she didn’t know if she would ever see Abe again. Whitley comforted her.

At Whitley’s house, Abe was watching TV. Rafe knocked on the door. Abe paused the show. Rafe yelled out that he was the police and wanted to talk to Whitley. Abe recognized the voice. He thought about Whitley telling him not to open the door to the police. He didn’t answer the door. Rafe ended up leaving. Roman told Harris that he hated what happened between him, Bo and Hope, but he stuck his neck out for Kate. Roman said he owed him. When Roman left, Kate talked to Harris. He said he needed to find a job. She said she would pay him to get rid of Megan. Megan told Dimitri that pretending to be married was worth the fortune he would get. She said they had to share the DiMera fortune but the Von Leuschner fortune was all theirs. He told her about saying it was theirs. She reminded him of the things she has done for him. She said he could pay her back by charming Gwen so they could get the money. When he left, Kristen showed up and wondered what they were going to do with the money. Rafe went to Paulina’s room at the hospital to talk to Whitley. Whitley told Rafe that Abe was confused. She said she told his doctor about his situation and hadn’t seen him since. She said she wished there was more she could do. Kristen asked Megan about her plans. Before Megan could answer her, Dimitri showed up. He said he didn’t know how he was going to convince Gwen to marry him. Megan said Gwen was desperate for a man in her life. Kristen told him to play on her pain over Xander using and abusing her. Megan gave him a dossier of Gwen. Harris told Kate that he only killed because he was brainwashed. She said she knew he still had it in him. She said she had a lot of money which he needed. He said he could never be a hitman no matter what Megan did to him. He said she had to find someone else. She told him to give it some thought. While Abe was watching TV, a report came on about him running for mayor. He realized it was him.

Days of Our Lives Update

Update written by Joseph

Dimitri sits in the living room of the DiMera Mansion in his robe as Megan walks in and comments on him not being dressed yet. Dimitri remarks that he doesn’t have a set schedule. Megan reminds him about having lunch with Gwen but Dimitri responds that he’s not going.

Gwen is on the phone, confirming her reservation for lunch with Dimitri. Leo enters the room. Gwen tells him that everything is set for her interview with Dimitri and declares that it will be the Spectator’s scoop of the century. Leo remarks that while everything is coming up roses for her, his life is over.

Roman and Kate eat together at the Brady Pub. Roman finishes a call with Jada and informs Kate that they have no new leads. Kate doesn’t get how the mayor can just vanish. Kate asks about Colin. Roman says he was just bluffing when he said he knew where Abe was. Kate asks if they are sure. Roman explains that Sloan is Colin’s lawyer and sister and she said he doesn’t know anything. Kate says she wouldn’t believe anything from either of them. Roman points out that Colin is in a lot of trouble, so if he knew something, he’d say so. Kate doesn’t understand since Abe couldn’t have gotten out of the hospital on his own so someone had to have helped him and someone must have seen him. Roman says that’s what he keeps telling himself.

Paulina talks on the phone to Julie, assuring that she’s back in her hospital bed and she doesn’t need to come as she is fine, or she will be when they find out who really took Abe and where he is. Nurse Whitley then enters Paulina’s room. She says she’ll come back after her call but Paulina stops her and says she needs to talk to her.

Abe watches Body & Soul tapes at Whitley’s until Rafe knocks on the door. Abe pauses the tape and tries to get up but cannot.

Roman tells Kate that he can’t just sit around, so he’s going to talk to John and Steve to offer his help. Kate hugs Roman as she tells him to be careful and to bring Abe home. Harris Michaels then enters the Pub and greets them. Roman mentions hearing that he was in town. Kate asks if he came for an early lunch. Harris says he came to see if they’ve heard anything from Megan Hathaway. Kate says she hasn’t heard anything since she came by the other day. Roman notes that Steve said that’s the reason Harris is back. Harris felt keeping an eye on Megan was the least he could do. Harris guesses that Roman would prefer he stay away and mind his own business.

Megan reminds Dimitri that it’s not long before he turns 40. Dimitri assures that he’s aware and reveals he was reading over the will and noted that Megan left out some details like the fact that he has to remain married for at least a year and if it turns out that his marriage was under false pretenses, then he loses every penny of the inheritance. Megan encourages him to just turn on the charm and asks if it would be so bad. Dimitri complains that he just got out of prison and wanted to have fun which might be hard if he’s playing the part of the devoted husband.

Gwen asks Leo why he thinks his life is over. Leo reveals that he went to see his mother in prison and he honestly doesn’t know why. Gwen argues that he loathes her with good reason so she questions what possessed him to go see her. Leo explains that he mentioned his mother to Jada while she was grilling him and it made him realize that he hadn’t been to visit her once since she went to prison. Leo says that his mother ranted about why he’s a worthless human being that nobody could ever possibly love.

Paulina tells Julie that she will call her back and hangs up. Whitley asks what she can do for her. Paulina tells Whitley that she knows who she is and that she saw her taking care of Abe in the hospital, so she wanted to thank her for everything she did for Abe. Whitley says she’s just a nurse and that’s what they do. Paulina says most people credit the doctors for saving lives but the nurses do it around the clock. Paulina comments that she doesn’t know what Abe would’ve done without Whitley.

Rafe continues knocking on the door and asks if Whitley is there. Abe recognizes his voice. Rafe says it’s important that he talk to her. Abe thinks back to Whitley instructing him not to answer the door, especially if the cops show up.

Harris guesses that Roman probably hates him. Roman says he wouldn’t go that far. Roman says he may have hated what went down between Harris, Hope, and Bo, but he is in his debt because Harris stuck his neck out to save Kate from Megan and Dimitri. Roman declares that for that, he will always owe him as he and Harris shake hands.

Megan tells Dimitri that inheriting a vast fortune is worth being married for a year to a woman he doesn’t love. Dimitri asks if he really needs the fortune when it looks like they are doing pretty well. Megan remarks that the DiMera Mansion is a pool for sharks since they have to share the DiMera fortune with Tony, EJ, Stefan, Kristen, Chad, and any other illegitimate child that shows up. Megan adds that every one of them want the fortune for themselves, but none of them can touch the Von Leuschner fortune as that is all theirs. Megan calls it part of the plan when she married his father as he’ll be sharing the money with her.

Gwen asks Leo why he should believe a single word that his mom says. Leo suggests that it’s true that nobody has ever loved him. Gwen asks what about her. Leo says she is his friend but when it comes to lovers, none of them have ever stuck around. Leo complains that every guy he ever goes for is either married, straight, or using him for his American citizenship. Leo declares that maybe his mother was right.

Whitley tells Paulina that it was an honor to take care of Abe but claims she was just doing her job. She says it was a joy to take care of the mayor but she’s so sorry about everything that happened to him and that his attacker may have kidnapped him. Paulina says it turns out that Colin wasn’t responsible for Abe’s disappearance. Whitley asks how the police know. Paulina says they just know and that there are no other suspects. Paulina cries that she has no idea where her husband is, how he is, or if she’ll ever see him again. Whitley hugs Paulina as she cries.

Rafe continues knocking at Whitley’s door, asking if anyone is there. With no answer, Rafe gives up and walks away.

Roman tells Harris that he was just going to help John and Steve with Abe. Harris wishes him luck with that. Roman tells Kate that he will call her with any information and kisses her goodbye as he exits. Kate and Harris sit down together. Harris talks about figuring his life out now that he’s in Salem. Kate asks what that means. Harris explains that he’s staying at his parents old place and doesn’t know how long he can stay there, so if he’s going to get his own place then he will have to figure out a job. Kate says she might be able to help him with that. Harris asks how so. Kate informs him that she would happily pay him to get rid of Megan Hathaway.

Megan asks Dimitri if he’s listening to her. Dimitri assures that he is and admits he’s not relishing having to share the fortune with all the DiMeras. Dimitri continues to complain about having to marry a woman that he just met. Megan argues that she sacrificed so much for him over the years and this is his chance to pay her back.

Gwen and Leo talk about being friends for 17 years. Gwen says she knows him really well, so she knows that everything his mother said about him is not true. Leo says that’s easy for her to say when she’s not her mother. Gwen talks about how her mother convinced her that her father didn’t care if she lived or died. Gwen declares that anything their mothers have said about them is absolute rubbish. Leo tells Gwen that he loves her and says they both need handsome strangers to show up one day and sweep them off their feet.

Dimitri asks Megan how he should repay her. Megan tells him to go upstairs, get dressed, have lunch with Gwen and turn on the charm. Megan encourages that the sooner he proposes, the sooner they get all that money. Dimitri remarks that she never sacrifices her own dignity as he exits and heads upstairs. Megan turns around as Kristen entered through the side door and questions what her plans are for all that money.

Whitley encourages Paulina not to worry about Abe and says he’s going to be fine. Paulina argues that she can’t possibly know that. Whitley talks about her faith getting her through so much. Rafe then enters so Paulina asks if there’s news on Abe but Rafe says there’s not. Rafe reveals that he’s here to talk to nurse Whitley.

Abe guesses it must be the guy who attacked him, pretending to be a cop at the door. Abe hopes he’s gone but says if not, he has to defend himself. Abe gets a headache and guesses he has to wait until Paulina comes home. Abe then resumes Whitley’s tape of Body and Soul.

Gwen tells Leo that handsome strangers only show up in romance novels, so they may be setting them up too high. Leo insists that he believes true love is out there for both of them and that he envisions them having great romantic futures. Leo then says if neither of them find a man, they can just marry each other.

Megan accuses Kristen of eavesdropping but Kristen says Megan’s voice carries and she heard it all the way out in the garden. Kristen says she already knows about Megan’s plan to take over the world and how she’s going to use the Von Leuschner money.

Harris asks Kate if she wants him to get rid of Megan by convincing her to leave town or by taking it a step further. Kate says she doesn’t need him to play games with her as he’s not going to make her feel guilty. Kate reminds him that Megan tried to kill her and then stuck her brainwashed henchman on her. Kate adds that if Bo didn’t have a last second change of heart, she would be dead right now. Kate says Harris can imagine how she feels about Megan coming to Salem and putting down roots. Kate adds that Harris obviously thinks Megan is up to something or he wouldn’t be keeping an eye on her. Harris asks if Kate thinks Megan is going to try to kill her again. Kate responds that she doesn’t want to wait and see so she wants to have her neutralized first. Harris asks Kate to tell him exactly what she wants. Kate thinks he knows what she wants. Kate states that it’s not just about her life since Megan had plans for Marlena and Kayla. Harris asks if she should consult with them about her plan. Kate says that would be a waste of time as neither of them have the killer instinct. Kate declares that she’s the only one ruthless enough to take care of the situation.

Abe continues watching Body and Soul.

Whitley questions Rafe wanting to talk to her. Rafe informs her that he just came from her apartment and there was no one there, so he came here. Rafe adds that he also left her a message yesterday but she didn’t call him back. Whitley claims she had her phone turned off and asks what she can do for him. Rafe states that it seems as though she may have been the last person to see Abe before he disappeared.

Harris questions Kate having the killer instinct but wanting him to do the killing. Kate points out that it’s not like he hasn’t done it before. Harris reminds her that he was brainwashed. Kate feels he still has it in him since he’s a navy SEAL with advanced combat training. Harris argues that Megan is evil but isn’t exactly an armed combatant. Kate feels she’s not exactly a frail flower. Kate reminds Harris that Megan tried to ruin his life and almost cost him his freedom. Kate says they both know what Megan is capable of and that sooner or later, she will be back at it. Harris admits that could be a problem. Kate points out that his problem is money and she has loads of it. Harris questions why pay him instead of somebody else. Harris points out that Roman was a cop and would love the chance to get even with Megan. Kate states that she loves Roman but her take on morality is situational while his is absolute. Kate brings up that Roman stopped John and Steve from killing Orpheus, who is a monster, so there’s no chance that she could convince him to kill a woman like Megan, which means she’s left with Harris.

Kristen tells Megan that she’s done some far out stuff, but never a plan to take over the world. Kristen asks Megan how she’s going to do it, but Dimitri returns to the room after getting dressed up. Dimitri questions how he’s going to convince Gwen to marry him. Kristen can’t believe he’s really going to do that. Megan is sure he has his ways to charm women. Dimitri points out that his goal has never been marriage. Dimitri suggests just telling Gwen why but Megan reminds him of the clause that says he must be sincere in his intentions. Kristen questions the clause but Megan tells her to shut up. Megan tells Dimitri that it might not be difficult since Gwen is desperate for a new man in her life. Kristen brings up that Xander used and abused Gwen, so Megan says she is primed and ready. Megan then hands Dimitri a folder that has everything he needs to know on Gwen, referring to her as her future daughter in law as Dimtiri then exits.

Gwen jokes with Leo that she’ll expect a giant engagement ring from him. Leo says he’s not kidding and suggests they should consider tying the knot. Leo thinks they could make a killing on gifts at the bridal party but Gwen points out that nobody likes them enough to spend a single penny on gifts. Gwen says she has to finish getting ready to make it to her interview on time. Leo decides he will stay there and watch Body and Soul. Gwen says he can tell her what happens next when she gets back. Leo adds that Gwen might not want to mention his name to Dimtiri, since they have a past and he threatened to kill him over the Alamainian Peacock. Gwen is surprised that was Dimtiri but then says her lips will be sealed.

Paulina complains that nobody told her that Whitley was the last person to see Abe, not even Whitley herself. Whitley questions if she’s being accused of something. Rafe says no but she was working the floor when Abe regained consciousness and then shortly after, he disappeared while assigned as one of her patients. Whitley says she has a lot of patients. Rafe encourages her to think back to the day and asks if there was anyone suspicious around. Whitley says there was nothing like that. Rafe asks if she remembers taking care of Abe. She recalls checking on Abe and Abe imagining that she was Paulina. Whitley then tells Rafe that she remembers it well, but says there was something.

Abe continues watching Body and Soul where the two actresses in the show are fighting over a man who had amnesia.

Kristen asks Megan if her plan is already in motion. Megan doesn’t answer so Kristen believes she’s having doubts about her plan. Megan says she underestimates her. Kristen feels Megan underestimates the amount of enemies she’s made in this town, so if she wants them to bend to her will, she will need an army on her side. Megan agrees and says every army needs a commander. Kristen says it sounds like she has someone in mind. Megan says it’s one who recently arrived in Salem.

Kate asks Harris if they have a deal. Harris states that whatever Megan did to him, he can never be a hitman. Kate remarks that Harris is clearly back on the side of the angels, but she’s not. Harris apologizes but says she will have to find someone else. Kate warns Harris to keep his guard up because Megan could come after him or Hope. Harris agrees and admits he doesn’t like to be backed in to a corner. Kate suggests Harris just give it some thought as she thinks he will realize she’s telling the truth and then he’ll come around.

Dimitri arrives at Gwen’s room but is shocked when Leo answers the door.

Whitley recalls going to check Abe’s vitals and he woke up very confused. Whitley says she told him he would be fine and then she went to notify his doctor of his condition. Whitley claims that she did not see Abe again after that. Rafe asks if no one was hanging around outside of his room. Whitley says no and that Colin was handcuffed to his bed. Whitley claims she wishes she could be more of a help. Rafe thanks her for her time. Whitley tells Paulina to just ring her bell if she needs anything and says that Abe is in her prayers.

Abe pauses off the tape of Body and Soul, going over how one of the characters had amnesia and left one woman for another. Abe then resumes the tape. The recording was then interrupted by a press conference from Abe’s 2008 mayoral campaign. Abe is shocked as he sees himself and realizes that he is the Mayor.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

you’re not dressed yet. Sweetheart. One of the upsides of being a gentleman of leisure is not having a set schedule, but you do have an appointment to keep.

Lunch with Ms. Rizek? Ah, yes. That I’m not going.

Yes, this is Gwen Rizek. I’m phoning to confirm a reservation for lunch, right? Yes. It’s for two people at one o’clock. Um, and just so you know, my um, guest is Mr. Vaughn Ner. Dimitri Von Ner. So I would please like a very quiet, nice table in the corner. Private one. Thank you. Well, everything’s set with my interview with the mysterious Mr.

Von Ner. I’m telling you, Matty, this is going to be the spectator scoop of the century. How nice. So while everything’s coming up, roses for you. My life is over.

Yeah. Well, okay. Thanks Jada. Keep me posted. Okay. Sounds like there’s no news. Yeah, she says. They have no new lease. I mean, I don’t get it. How does the mayor of a town just vanish? Beats me? What about that, that Colin Bedford guy, the one that put Abe in the hospital? I mean, he’s in custody, right? No, he was just bl.

When he said he had information about where Abe is, he’d say anything to cut a deal with the cops. Yeah. Are they sure? Sloan Peterson is his lawyer and his sister and she says he doesn’t know anything. Uh, you know, I wouldn’t leave anything out of the two of them, his mouth, so. Well that is a good point, but Bedford’s in a whole lot of trouble.

If he did have Abe stashed away, I do believe he’d say so. I just, I, I think it’s ridiculous. Okay. There’s no way that Abe could have gotten out of that hospital on his own. So someone must have helped him. Someone must have seen him. That’s what I keep telling myself. Yes. Yes. Julie, I’m back in my hospital bed now.

No, no, no, honey, you don’t need to come. No, I’m fine. Well, I’m, I will be once they find out who really took Abe and where he is. Oh,

uh, I, I’ll come back after your call. No, no, no, don’t go. I need to talk to you.

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

Well, you know what, I, I can’t sit around here twiddling my thumbs any longer. What are you gonna do? Well, I’m gonna go talk to John and Steve and, uh, offer my help. Well, I don’t see them turning you down. Me neither. See you later. Oh, no, no. Please be careful. Bring him home. Will do. Hey Michaels. Hello, Kate Roman, we heard you were back in town soap.

Are you coming by for early lunch or no? No, I just, uh, wanted to see if you heard anything from Megan Hathaway. No, I haven’t heard of Peep since she came by the other day. Fuck you, me. Well, Steve says that, uh, that’s reading your bet. Yeah, I thought I would, you know, I thought I’d keep an eye on her. Felt like it’s the least I could do, but I’m assuming that you would prefer it if I just stayed away in mind of my own business.

Really? Do I have to remind you that it is not long before you turn 40? You mean for the umpteenth time? And the codicil to the will says that you, that if I am not married by the time I turn 40, I will not inherit a scent. Yes, mother. I know it has been emblazoned in my brain. Thanks to you not to mention that I read it all right here.

Where did you get that in your room? Where else, and you felt to mention a few pertinent details? Which details? Well, for one, that I need to remain married for at least a year. That’s not all. Let me see. Where’s my absolute favorite part? Uh, yes. Here it is. Now, if it is found that Mr. Von Leischner has entered into this marital contract under false pretenses, then he loses every penny, which means that not only do I have to marry this rice chick woman, but I have to remain married to her for at least a year, and I have to act as though I am besotted with her.

You don’t have to act besotted, just turn on the charm. Romance a bit. Would that be the worst thing in the world? I just got out of prison. I am ensconced in this mansion. I thought maybe I could have a little bit of fun. That might prove difficult if I’m playing the part of the devoted husband.

Okay. Tell me, my darling, why do you think that your life is over? I went to see my mother in Statesville. Why on Earth would you do that? I honestly don’t know. But you loathe her with good reason. I mean, what possessed you to go over there and see her? I mentioned her to that lady cop when she was grilling me.

Jada Hunter. Jada Hunter told you to go and see your mother? No. It just made me realize that I hadn’t visited mommy dearest once since they put her in the slammer. And so you just thought you’d take care of that today? Then did you get it over with mainly, gosh, I can see by your mood that it went swimmingly.

Did you two have a row? Please. I learned a long time ago not to contradict Diana when she’s ranting. Today’s rant was entitled, why Leo Stark is a worthless human being that nobody could ever possibly love.

I’m gonna have to call you back, Julie. Um, oh, yes. Okay, bye. Oh, um, thank you for waiting. Yes. Um, what can I do for you? Um, My name is Paulina Price, but of course, I’m sure you already know that. Yes, it’s, it’s, it’s here on your chart. I know who you are. You do? Mm-hmm. My husband suffered a head injury a few days ago, and they brought him here, and while I was waiting to hear how he was, I saw you taking care of him, and I just want to say thank you.

For what? For everything that you did for Abraham. Oh, I’m just a nurse. That’s what we do. Oh yeah. I know that is not easy. Most people give credit to the doctors for saving people’s lives, but it’s you nurses that take care of people around the clock. I don’t know what me and Abraham would’ve done without you.

Ms. King,

you there? I know that voice. I really need to talk to you. It’s important.

Ms. King is the police.

I’m gonna go now and I’m gonna lock the door behind me. I want you to listen to me very carefully. I don’t wanna frighten you, but that. Man that attacked you is still out there and he, he’s been impersonating a cop, so it’s very important not to open the door, especially if the cops show up. Okay.

Well, you, uh, you probably hate me. Well, I wouldn’t go that far. Look, Harris, I may have hated what went down with you and hope and my brother, but I’m in your debt. You stuck your neck out. For my wife, you saved Katie from Megan and that son of hers and for that, for that I will always owe you.

Perhaps Ms. Rizek isn’t the woman of your dreams. But isn’t inheriting a vast fortune worth being married for one tiny little year to a wife you don’t love? And what exactly do I need this vast fortune for? We seem to be doing pretty well around here, Dimitri. This might look like a mansion, but it’s actually a pool for sharks.

You and I have no choice but to share the demure fortune. With Tony, ej, Stephan, Kristen, Chad, and any other illegitimate child that shows up at the door

and every single one of those sharks wants that fortune for themselves, but none of them can touch the von Leischner fortune. That my darling is all ours. Ours. That is right, my dear Ours. This was part of the plan when I married your father. You’ll be sharing that money with your mother.

Come on, Mattie. How many times have you told me that your mum is a conniving bitch? Honestly, why should you believe a single word that she says? Maybe because it’s true. Stop that. I mean it. Nobody has ever loved me. Excuse me. What about me? You’re my friend. I’m talking about lovers. None of them have ever stuck around.

Well, there was Darius. Yeah. Who was gone the minute he got his green card? And Craig, I was only in that one for the money. Well, yes, maybe at first. But then you developed feelings for him, didn’t you? And look how that turned out.

There was that one night in Vegas with Chris Hemsworth, though. He spent the night with Chris Hemsworth. All right. It was an impersonator, but still he had no trouble raising his hammer, but even he was gone right after the breakfast buffet.

Honestly, I do feel like there was something between Sonny and me, but then Will came back like he always does, and they made up like they always do. What was I thinking? Sonny is a married man. There was never any hope, but that’s what I’m talking about. Every guy I ever go for is either married straight or using me for my American citizenship.

I hate to say it, but maybe Diana was right.

It was an honor taking care of a man like your husband for, as I said, I was just doing my job. Well, I think being a nurse is more than just a job. It’s a calling. Oh, it was a joy taking care of the mayor, and I’m just so sorry that all those terrible things happened to him and that awful attacker, who possibly is the one who kidnapped him?

Yes, yes. Colin, Colin Bedford. He’s a sick, dangerous man, but turns out. He wasn’t responsible for Abe’s disappearance. How do the police know they do? That’s all that matters. Oh, are there any, um, other suspects? No,

I have no idea where my husband is. How he is, I don’t know. I never even see him again.

Dear, dear.

Hello. Is anyone there?

Okay, well I was just leaving to go help John and Steve look for Yeah, sure. Good luck with that. You will call me if you get any information. Will do. Yeah. Bye.

How about at lunch now? Uh, no thanks. I’m, I’m good. You know, now that I’ve come back to Salem, I just gotta really, um, figure out my life. What’s that mean? Yeah, well I’m, I’m staying at my parents’ old place. Don’t know how long I can stay there, so, you know, if I wanna get my own place or rent a place, I’m just gonna have to figure out a job.

Well, I might be able to help you with that one. Yeah. How so? I would happily pay you to get rid of Megan Hathaway.

Are you listening to what I’m saying? Yes, mother. I am. I am. I’m just. I’ll admit, I am not relishing the prospect of having to share my inheritance with a platoon of Damaris. There you go. You see, finding this corso was the best thing that’s happened to us in a long time. Oh, see now there you go again with that US word.

And yet, I’m the one who is being forced to marry a woman that I just met. Now you listen to me. I have sacrificed plenty for you over the years. Just think opportunity to,

how long have you and I been friends? Oh, let’s see. We met in 2006, so if you take 23 and then you subtract the six. Oh, of course I’m not, I’m not asking you to do the math. You big knob. I was just pointing out that I know you really well. Yeah, and so I know everything your mother said about you is simply not true.

Easy for you to say she’s not your mother. Oh, come on mate. If we’re playing bad mother poker here, we both have a winning hand in this.

My mother convinced me that my father didn’t care if I lived or died. That’s why I turned out like this. I drugged. My sister went after her husband. Thanks to dear old mom, I was convinced that if I were to get anyone to love me, I would have to trick them.

So you know what? Everything that our mothers have said about us, it is absolute rubbish. I love you so much, Gwynnie, and not a single trick made me feel that way. Just your genuine adorableness. I catch you Mady.

Doesn’t really help us in the romance department though, does it? No. What you and I need is for two handsome, well-heeled strangers with great asses to show up one day and sweep us off our feet. That doesn’t happen very often though, does it now? Exactly. Should I repay you? Go upstairs, get dressed, have lunch with Ms.

Rizek and turn on the charm. Must I? Yes. Now. Okay. Okay. Look, the sooner you propose to her, the sooner we get all that lovely money. This is why I adore you, mother. You never sacrifice your own dignity upstairs. Okay, now. So what are your plans for all that lovely money?

Don’t you worry about your husband, all right. He’s gonna be just fine. You can’t possibly know that you’re right. I can’t, but I’m a woman of faith and my faith has gotten me through so, And I know that you are a woman of faith too. I usually am, but then, oh, Frank, is there news about A, I’m sorry, what? Well, then why are you here?

I’m here because I was told that Ms. King was here. I need to speak with her.

Well, I must be, must be the guy who, who attacked me. I hope. Hope he’s gone. I hope he’s gone. But if not, I, I have to defend myself. Well,

oh,

I guess I have to wait. Let’s wait till Paulina comes home.

Charlamagne,

what do you think you’re doing here? Cassandra? You and I are gonna have it out once and for all.

Yeah. Dashing handsome strangers. Well, they only turn up in romance novels, don’t they? I think we might be setting our sights too High pointer. No, no, no, no, no. I don’t want you thinking that way. I believe, and it might just be the three cups of coffee I just had. That’s making me feel frenetic and wound up in a good way.

That true love is just around the corner for both of us. Oh, so it’s just the caffeine then talking, is it? No. No. Well, I mean, maybe the caffeine is helping me to feel optimistic, but it doesn’t negate the fact that I am envisioning great romantic futures for both of us. Us. Oh, besides, we have a backup plan.

If neither of us find a man, we just marry each other. Resorting to Eves dropping. Now are we. Did you have a glass pressed in a wall? Oh no. Your voice carries. See, I heard it all the way out from the garden. Oh, into horticulture. Now, are you, I do have something of a green thumb, but guess what we’re talking about?

You, Megan, and I already know about your plant to take over the world and, uh, how are you going to use the vonner money? Don’t you think it’s time I learned what you’re going to do with it?

Uh, okay. Um, let’s define, get rid of, do I convince Megan to leave town or do we take it a step further? Okay. Well, first of all, I don’t need you to play games with me. You’re not going to make me feel guilty. Megan tried to kill me and then she sicked her brainwashed henchman on me. No offense. No none taken.

And if though hadn’t had a last minute change of heart, I would be dead right now. Okay. So I think you can imagine how I feel about Megan coming back into Salem with her demented wealth and putting down roots. I mean, obviously you think she’s up to something or you wouldn’t be keeping your eye on her, would you?

Do you think that, uh, she’s gonna try to kill you again? I don’t wanna wait and see. I just wanna have her neutralized first. Okay. Why don’t you just tell me exactly what it is that you want? Oh, I think you know what I want, and it’s not just about my life. She had plans for Marlena and Kayla. Should you consult with them about your plan?

That would be a waste of time. Neither of them has the killer instinct. I’m the only one ruthless enough to take care of this situation. Ah, yeah. Have you going mad? I want justice and I do it myself, so be it.

Ah, what are you raving about now? I know you read the ballot box. Charlamagne Delacroix. You are not gonna get away with stealing the election from me. Well, I don’t know what you mean. Oh really? You can’t stand. Rhett loves me and not you, and you’re gonna do anything in your power to make sure that you are voted Woman of the year.

Woman of the year, that’s what they’re fighting about. Accuse me of whatever you want. You have no proof and I’m going to be Woman of the year, whether you like it or not.

You wanna talk to me? Uh, you’re a policeman, right? Commissioner? Commissioner Hernandez. And, uh, just came from your apartment. There was no one there. So I came here. I also left you a message yesterday and never called me back. Oh, I, I, I’m sorry. I had my phone turned off. I’m a little behind in my payments.

I see. Okay. Well, um, it, what can I do for you, uh, commissioner? Well, it seems as though you may have been the last person to see Mayor Carver before he disappeared.

Okay, lemme get this straight. You have the killer instinct, but you want me to do the killing? Well, it’s not like you haven’t done it before. If you’re talking about the jobs I did for Megan, I wasn’t right up here. I was brainwashed. Okay. Okay, but you still have it in you, right? You’re a Navy seal, you have advanced combat training.

Yeah. Megan is evil, but she’s not exactly an arm combatant. She isn’t exactly a frail flower now, is she? She tried to ruin your life. She almost cost you your freedom, right? Yeah, pretty much. Okay. So we both know what she’s capable of and we both know sooner or later she’s going to be back at it and that could be a problem.

Mm-hmm. But your problem is money, and I have loads of it.

Why pay me or anybody else. Your husband was a cop. I’m sure he would love the chance to get even with Megan. Okay. I love my husband dearly, but my take on morality is situational. His is absolute. He stopped to John and Steve from killing Orpheus, who’s a monster. There is no chance I could convince him to kill a woman like Megan, even though she may be evil incarnate, which means I’m left with you.

I have done some far out stuff, but never plan to take over the world. So Megan, spell it. How are you gonna do it? Well, do I pass inspection? Oh, you clean up so well. Only a bespoke suit would do all the work for me. Now, how am I going to convince this reporter who is interviewing me that I barely know that I’m mad about her and that she should marry me?

You’re really gonna do that, is he? I am sure you have. Many ways to charm women. Yes, but my aim has never been marriage. What have I just told her? Why I needed to marry her? Have you forgotten about the clause that specifies you must be sincere in your intentions. What little clause is that? Do shut up.

And it may not even be difficult. Apparently Ms. Rizek is desperate for a new man in her life, and I heard something to the effect that Xander Cook used and abused her. You see, she’s primed and ready

and now so are you. What’s this? Well, it’s everything you need to know about the fair mis wrist check. When did you have the time to put this together? I needed some background on my future daughter-in-law, didn’t I? Especially if I was going to expediate the process. Oh, mother, when did you become such an incurable, romantic?

I hope you know, I will be expecting a gigantic six Kara Diamond engagement ring from you. Oh, you think I’m kidding? Of course I do. I’m not. I seriously think you and I should consider tying the knot, then we can have a huge wedding invite everyone we know, invite everyone. We don’t know. Why on earth would we do that?

The bridal registry gwenie with our taste. We’d make a killing. Yes, except for nobody likes us enough to pay a single penny on gifts. Ugh, killjoy.

Oh, I’m so sorry. Are my efforts to cheer myself up boring you? No, it’s not that. It’s just I have to finish getting ready. If I’m going to make it to this interview on time, fine. Go have your glamorous interview. I’m gonna stay here and watch Bunny and Soul. Well, tell me what happens next when I get back.

Oh, Gwenie. When you meet Mr. Vonner, you may not wanna mention my name. Okay. Why is that? We have something of a troubled past. Remember the whole Almanian peacock debacle? He kind of threatened to kill me over that. That was him? Mm-hmm. Oh, for goodness sake, my lips are sealed.

Nobody told me Ms. King was the last person to see Abe, not even Ms. King. Are you accusing me of something? No. No. But, uh, you were working this floor yesterday when Abe regained consciousness, and then shortly after he had regained consciousness, he disappeared. And according to the duty roster, He was assigned as one of your patients?

Well, I have a lot of patients that I see too. Right. Yeah. Okay. We’ll try and think through the day. Was there anyone around that would’ve been suspicious, someone lurking around that shouldn’t have been? No. No. Nothing like that? No. You remember taking care of her? Did you? You’re awake. How are you feeling?

Paulina? Excuse me. I know. I know who you are. You’re my wife. Well, yes. Yes, I remember it well. There was something

you might be able to see a woman of a year away from me. But I will not let you steal my man. Rhett loves me and only me, don’t embarrass yourself. Well, that’s exactly what you’re doing. Desperately holding onto a man who doesn’t love you. You think that Rhett loves you? Oh yeah, I do. The only reason you were able to get your claws into red was because he had amnesia.

So this plan of yours, is it already in motion? Oh, yummy. Yeah, you’re stalling, which makes me believe that you’re having your doubts about it. You underestimate me. Mm. You underestimate the number of enemies you’ve made in this town. So if you want them to bend to your will, you’re gonna have to have an army on your side.

Yes, that’s right. And every army needs a commander. Mm. Well, it sounds like you have someone in mind. That’s right. One who recently arrived right here in Salem.

So Commander Michaels, do we have a deal?

Whatever Megan did to me. I can never be hit, man. Now clearly you are back on the side of the angels. Hmm? Traval. I’m not, yeah, I’m sorry. You’re gonna have to find somebody else. I, okay. Well, you should probably keep your guard up. Though sooner or later Megan is gonna take action against you. Maybe. Hope that could be true, and I don’t like to be backed into a corner.

Okay. It’s just give it some thought. I think you’ll realize that I’m telling the truth and he’ll come around.

Gwen, did you order room service?

You.

Well, I went into Mr. Carver’s room to check his vital signs, and I noticed that he was conscious and very, very confused. That’s what Chanel said. Um, I told him not to worry that he was gonna be just fine, and then I left to notify his doctor of his change in his condition. Okay. And then I didn’t see him again after that.

You don’t remember anyone hanging around outside his room? No. No sir. And that Colin Bedford was handcuffed to his bed. Oh gosh. I wish I could be more, have more help. Yeah. Well, thank you for your time and if you need anything, you just ring that call back. I’ll come running. I don’t want you to know that the mayor is in my prayer

so. This red character at Amnesia and left this woman for that woman.

You enjoy your moment in the sun, honey. Because you may win this award tonight, but you will never truly be Woman of the Year. You’re talking nonsense again. Oh, you just wait. I might have a little. Ace up my sleeve. What Ace?

What Ace? We interrupt this program to bring you breaking news regarding the 2008 mayoral election. We are going live to Carver Campaign headquarters. There’s been a lot said about me and my family during the course of this campaign. Some of it’s true, some of it’s not true, and over the next several weeks I will delineate fact from fiction.

But tonight I want to assure all of Salem. That I am committed to making life in this city better for our children and our children’s children. I am honored. And humbly accept this position as your mayor. Woo.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 Morning. Good morning. Coffee’s ready. Oh, thank you. Oh man. So did you hear from Johnny last night? No, not this morning either. Hmm. That’s strange. I mean, he’s on his way over here with takeout and then he calls you, says he is with Chanel and then nothing. Hmm. I don’t think he’s still with her. Do you?

Uh, six cups of coffee and I still feel like the walking dead. I am so sorry. I can’t believe the police kept us there all night to give them our statements. You didn’t even see what happened with Colin. You were downstairs the whole time. Yeah, yeah. I mean, I, I, I saw them, uh, hauling him out of the pub and, well, you know what I saw because you heard me repeat it about.

600 times. Yeah. They should’ve let you go home, get some sleep, and let you go through all that by yourself. It wasn’t that big of a deal besides saying, I. I’m, I’m willing to do anything that I can to make sure that that psycho gets put away for a very long time. You and me both.

You betrayed me to now you’re gonna pay.

Where in the hell is my husband? You little coward, Paulina. What you doing here? I thought you were still at the hospital. Well, I’m out obviously. Okay. Yeah. And how the hell did you get in here? Why are you interrogating me when you should be questioning him? I wanna know where the hell my husband is, and you’re gonna tell me right now.

Ms. King, this is Police Commissioner Ray Hernandez. I need to speak with you right away about the abduction of Mayor Abe Carver. I understand that you were on duty when it happened, so please call me back at this number as soon as possible. Thank you.

You are finally awake. Oh, thank. God. Oh, we also worried about you, but everything’s going to be fine. Mm-hmm. Because we have each other, my love, and we always will. Paulina’s here. Good morning, sunshine.

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

So no. I haven’t heard from Johnny, but before you say anything, there could be a million reasons why he didn’t call. So he spent the entire night with his ex-wife and there are a million reasons he couldn’t eat next to him. Okay, look, I’m not happy about this and he better have a good explanation. I jump to conclusions about the whole crazy.

Biscuit episode and I was wrong. So this time I am giving him the benefit of the doubt. Fine. Yeah, I understand. I’m just saying it’s really not a good look for him to keep ghosting you. You know what? Trashing Johnny just to score points isn’t such a good look for you either.

Are you okay? Yeah. Why? Because your, uh, your hands are shaking. Uh, um, it’s, it was probably the coffee from the PD last night. I two had about six cups. Right? Right. It was the, uh, the coffee look. Chanel, you had a really close call last night and. You haven’t had time to process it until just now.

I’m really sorry. It’s not your fault. Oh no. Chanel. I should have never let you go up to Talia’s room by yourself. You could have been hurt. We’re worse. Yeah. Well, you, you didn’t know Colin was up there and, okay. Can you, can you believe that Tolia had the nerve to defend him to me? Yeah, she did. Right before she gave you the badge and basically turned him in.

Oh Chanel, she was probably terrified to say anything bad about him cuz she knew he was right there. Terrified. She loved that guy and she did everything he told her to do. Yeah. Yeah, she did like give up her job as a doctor to move to a town that she’s never even been to. To terrorize a bunch of people she’s never even met.

I mean, he must have some hold over her. Are you defending her? She did just go off a building and almost die to save your mother. But she obviously, she feels terrible about what she did. Right? Yeah, I suppose. But that doesn’t change the fact that she betrayed me in the worst possible way. So I don’t care if she apologizes a million times.

I will never. Forgive her.

Oh, you’re awake. I was hoping you sleep in. Yeah, no, I was having a nightmare that Colin was gonna come back for me.

I’m so sorry, Talia. But he’s locked up now. He can’t hurt you. Or anyone else. I know you also know that I’m not gonna let him lay another finger on you again. I do. Okay, good. So get some rest. Okay. You’ve been up all night. Yes. How are you? No, seriously, Jada. I don’t wanna close my eyes again.

So is he still refusing to talk? It would seem so. Look, J do you really think he took Abe? I mean, he didn’t even say anything to me. Listen, Colin escaped from the hospital at the exact same time that Abe disappeared. If he’s not responsible, then I don’t know who else it could be. Oh, you were tossing and turning all night last night, darling.

Is everything all right? I I had a dream. It was so strange.

It was about you, Paulina. Well, it didn’t look like you

stop staring at me and say something. Damn it. Mr. Bedford has been exercising his Fifth Amendment rights ever since he has got here. So now if you will, please go outside. Look, I know he has to get due process from you, but not from me. How to strangle the truth out of it. Paulina, what’s not? What the hell is going on here?

Nobody should be speaking to my client without his lawyer. Present your client. You mean your, your. Psychopathic, murderous, kidnapping brother. He has nothing to do with the mayor’s disappearance. Actually, if I may say something, I do know where mayor cover is. If you let me out of here, I’ll take you to him.

Okay, look, I’m sorry for what I said about Johnny. You’re right. I was being a jerk and I just, I just don’t like seeing you hurt. But if you’re not upset with him, then I sure don’t have any right to be No, I didn’t say I wasn’t upset. Just said. I hope he has a good explanation. Oh, he is a fool. If he doesn’t, you’ve had three guys fighting over you.

Poor Johnny. I, I wouldn’t take your patience for granted. Yeah, and not exactly the overly patient type

I should get to work. Did you have breakfast? I saw your banana still on the counter. Um, No, I’m not hungry. Oh, come on. The best day starts with a good breakfast. I mean, all the studies say it’s true. Come on, sit down. You know you don’t have to keep cooking for me because you feel sorry for me. Okay.

Waffles and a toaster does not count as cooking. And for the record, I don’t feel sorry for you. No, actually, if there’s anyone I feel sorry for, it’s Johnny. You know, because if he doesn’t step up his game, he, uh, nevermind. I’m not gonna keep you in a joke about it. If you’re gonna give him the benefit of the doubt, and so will I.

Well, um, if you’re sure that you’re all right, I should probably go find Wendy and explain to her why I disappeared last night. You didn’t text her? No, my phone died. Oh my God, Johnny. Yeah, she’s probably worried you should go now. I’m on my way. Um, so take care. I’ll see you around

Julie. Oh my God. Chanel, my mother went missing from the hospital. Oh, so you know where Mayor Carver is, but you can’t tell us. You have to take us to him. Oh, you wouldn’t find him without me. Colin, not another word. Commissioner. Ms. Price. I need a moment, uh, with my client alone. Let him finish. Oh my God’s sake.

My husband’s life is at stake. Paulina, please, please, we have to follow the law. We will find Abe, but you want him to walk? Do you want the case to get thrown out? Okay, go please. Paulina,

what the hell are you doing? You told me last night you didn’t know anything about the Marist disappearance. You told me not to tell you if I did. Well, I didn’t mean for you to lie. And even if you did kidnap him, why the hell would you just go and confess it to the cops like that? I didn’t confess. I just said I knew where he was.

Okay. I’m gonna ask you one more time the truth. Colin, do you know where Mayor Carver is?

What do you mean? I didn’t look like myself?

In my dream, I, I woke up in the hospital and you were, you were sitting right beside my, my bed. Mm-hmm. And, uh, everything was blurry and when my vision cleared up, it was you. But it wasn’t. What do you think that means? Uh, you, you were just different and, and you, you weren’t dressed like a nurse. You think I only wear scrubs?

Look, I dreamed one time that I was elected president of the United States, but that obviously didn’t happen. You know how dreams go and you better stop thinking about other women. Mr. Also, I’m gonna start getting jealous. Sorry. Well, I wanna go make you some breakfast sausage and eggs. Here we go. Sausage.

I, I, I thought I was the only one who was having a memory lapse. I hate sausage. No, no, you don’t. You, you do not. You just must have lost your memory. You forget that you love them so much, you know. No, no. I haven’t forgotten that. I hate sausage. It’s slimy. It’s me, pig parts.

Maybe my stomach turns just talking about it. I, I, I, I hate sausage.

I guess I was hungry, apparently, you know, apropo of what you said before about having three guys fighting over me. Yeah. Well, just so you know, I’m totally not used to that. I’m not even even used to guys looking at me. No, come on. I mean, a, my father always told me that I was never gonna get married if I didn’t wear makeup or stop dressing like a slob, a k a, wearing comfortable clothes and drove him crazy that I didn’t care.

Well, First of all, you don’t need makeup or fancy clothes. You are beautiful just the way you are and you’re not caring. It is one of the things I love about you. That’s sweet. It’s true trip. You’re such a good guy. I feel kind of guilty that I’m the one who’s ambivalent. Indecisive.

I hope you know that. I’m totally cool with you seeing other people too. I don’t wanna see other people. Come on. You are a red blooded American guy. I mean, you’re handsome. What? Smart as hell. Really nice. Doctor, you’re a total catch. You could have anyone you want. Oh, well I’m definitely not gonna test that theory.

He’s the only person that I want. Is he?

Thanks, Julie. I’ll be in touch. Okay. Your, your mom is missing. Missing, yeah. Yeah. Julie said that she left the hospital this morning against medical advice, and she thought that she went back to the apartment, but she wasn’t there. Okay. Where the hell could she be here? Okay. All right. Just take a deep breath.

Deep breath. She can’t have gone far. Right. I’m gonna help you find her, but Wendy, she’s waiting for you. No, no, no. This is more important. Well, I, I, I don’t even know where to start looking. Actually, I have an idea.

It’s been long enough. I’m going back to No, Paul Paulina. No. Now listen to me. Abe will be the first one to tell you that we have to follow the law and besides, we don’t even know if Colin is telling us the truth. You said he’s your number one suspect. Who else would take Abe? I mean, yeah, sure I have lots of enemies, but Abe doesn’t.

Everyone loves him. Yeah. Excuse me. Hello? Hi, commissioner. This is Chanel. Johnny gave me your number. Look, I, I know this can’t exactly be called a missing person case, but Mama went missing from the hospital this morning, AMA, and I’m, I’m really worried about her. Mm-hmm. She’s right here. Chanel, oh, what is she in trouble?

Um, no, she’s not. She came here to confront Colin Bedford, but she didn’t tell me that she left the hospital against medical advice. There’s not any chance you can come down here, pick her up, take her back to the hospital. Yes. Yes. I’ll, I’ll, I’ll be right there.

Sheels on her way. I’m not going anywhere until I find out what that psychopath knows about where a is.

You know, darling, that knock to the noggin may have messed up your sense of taste. It’s been known to happen. Well, if you don’t want sausage, what would you like? Uh, maybe a toast tea. Hmm. And perhaps a pain pill for that headache you’re trying to hide from them. It is. It’s throbbing a bit. Yeah. Am mind turning on the tv?

Well, we talked about the news. Remember, it’s. It’s just too upsetting and, and screen time should be limited after concussion. Are you my mother or are you my wife? Oh, post-concussion mood swings. Gonna have to keep an eye on that. Yeah.

Hey, how’s your arm? Do you need any meds? Can you stop worrying about me, Jada, please. Okay. I’ve caused you enough trouble already. I honestly, I don’t even know how you let me stay here. How many times do I have to tell you, you are my sister. I love you. What is this guy call and do to you to make you feel so bad about yourself?

What he did? Nothing. Talia. He messed with your mind? Yeah, because I let him, but as soon as you realize what he was going to do, you turned him in. You should be proud of yourself. E even the newspaper is calling you a hero. You, you know, I, I really think that’s gonna help your case. No, Dana. I am not a hero.

I was scared of him. He was furious with me. Aim over for that one second when he asked me to go away with him. Right. My heart, it, it was bounding and I thought maybe he might forgive me for turning on him. I was relieved. I, I was so relieved that I got like this adrenaline rush, you know. In that moment, I was scared.

Just in that incident, I almost went with him. What is wrong with me? Honey? Honey, there is nothing. There is nothing wrong with you. I miss him. And I know I did the right thing we giving Chanel that badge, but I constantly hear this voice in my head, Jay and his voice, and telling me that betrayed him and his right because I didn’t, I did betray him.

I dunno where a is. I knew it, but the cops don’t need to know that, do they? If I can get them to agree to let them lead me to him, then I’m, I’m sure that I can escape and make everything much worse for yourself. How can it be much worse than colon is? If you try to escape again, you can wind up dead and I don’t think that I can bear that.

Do you? Don’t understand. You’re so selfish. God, you the only family I have left. If you plead guilty. I can at least try for a plea deal. Yeah, there’s gonna be prison time, but if you just admit to everything that you did, I know you mean that’s hard as done. No. That you have done. Colin, you may have not trashed Paulina’s office or.

Spike those biscuits all by yourself, but there’s just no way I can get you clear to what happened on that roof. It’s bad enough that you assaulted a cop. I thank God you actually didn’t kidnap the mayor, but you have to admit to everything that you’ve done.

I want to go to prison. Yeah, well, there’s no choice. So what’ll it be?

Hey, uh, hi. I have brought breakfast. I already ate. Oh, he’s back. Yeah. And he has a name, but he’s back Trip blue in last night. He just made me breakfast. Oh. And tacos. For dinner last night when you never showed up because you were too busy with Chanel? I can explain. Okay. Really? You can explain why you didn’t even call.

I wish that I could have, I was stuck at the police station all night. No cell signal at the police station. I somehow doubt that and don’t they have land? Hey, can I, can I just, uh, can I talk to you alone for a second please? Yeah, I’ll go take a shower. No, he lives here. You can’t just tell him what to do and where to go.

Don’t worry. It’s fine.

Look, are you pleased? Just gonna, at least let me explain this. Fine, explain just what were you doing at the police station. You didn’t betray anyone and God forbid you had left hand with Colin. I told you that he never hurt me physically. Talia, emotionally abusive relationships turn physical almost all the time.

I, I see it almost every day.

Look, I, I, I think you should see a therapist just to work through your feelings and, and everything that that happened and why Dr. Marlena is the best apparently. What’s it matter to work out my feelings if I’m going to prison anyway? Huh? You me? Why are you giving up so easily? Where is that strong woman that I know?

You know the one, the one that you said play football with the guys that was president of her high school class? I wasn’t strong back then either Jada. Okay. It was just an ax, so, so you’re saying it was what a, a facade? Yeah, I guess you can say that. So I didn’t think I’d measure up. Okay. So I put a lot of pressure on myself.

That is the only reason that I succeeded at anything. No, Talia, you succeeded because you are bright. You are so very bright and you are gifted. Okay? You succeeded because you work hard as hell and you are not someone who gives up. Okay.

Oh God, I am, I, I’m, I’m sorry. I am so sorry that I didn’t know that you were hurting and, and, and suffering even back then. I, I, what, what would it hurt? What would it hurt to talk to Dr. Marlene. If you don’t wanna do it for you, would you please do it for me?

Yeah, I will. Thank you.

What, oh, oh. Oh no, they must have cut the cable off. Cause I didn’t pay the bill. My bills are just piling up. I’m not able to manage this household by myself on a nurse’s salary. What, what? What about me? Don’t I have a job? You’re retired. What about a pension? Oh, you don’t have one, I’m afraid. Uh, you owned a business, uh, an ice cream shop, Marshall’s ice cream shop.

Well, that has a Vegas memory. Yeah. Well, it doesn’t matter. You know what I wanna do? I’m gonna pick up a few shifts. Things are gonna be fine. Wait, wait, wait. But my, my, my medical bills. Oh, don’t you worry about that. Well, speaking of work, I’ve got to go. Uh, I’d have my Chanel. Come by and take care of you.

But she’s got a very demanding business and works long hours. Oh, what kind of business? Uh, bakery. Oh, ice cream pastries. Oh, I have a good, don’t I? You do. You sure do. No, I don’t want you to think that you, you’re gonna sit here all day long staring at the walls and talking to cats. Even though the cable is out, you can still watch tv.

I recorded 15 years of my favorite story, body and Soul, and I have them right here for you. You’re gonna enjoy it so much.

Holly, come on. You were hospitalized for hypertension. Oh, but I’m fine now. I’ve been taking my meds. Who we stone. That’s not something to play around with. And why’d you walk outta the hospital? Chanel left me last night to go get me some dinner. Then she texted me, something came up, and I never heard from her again.

Then this morning I saw on the news she was involved with the arrest of Colin Bedford, and no one even had the decency to tell me, okay. Chanel was never in danger, and besides that, we still have not established a definite connection between Abe’s disappearance and common, but he just admitted it. We don’t know if he’s telling the truth yet.

Well, my client was mistaken. No, he doesn’t know anything about Merick Harbor’s location. I’m sorry. All right, so in other words, he was lying. Well, maybe he’s lying now. Maybe this is some sort of tactic she just came up with to get him a better deal. No. Look, I was very clear with him that he needed to come clean with me so I could use any information he had to his advantage.

And I’m certain he just, he doesn’t know what your husband is and that’s the God’s honest truth.

Look, I am really sorry, Wendy. The last thing I’m meant to do was let you down

that that’s it. You’re just, you’re not gonna say anything. I understand. Bet you witnessed a crime bet you had to make a statement. I just don’t understand why you didn’t let me know. A, a, a and I should have, of course, I should have. But look, they were questioning me for quite a while. Right. And by the time that I had a chance to call or text you, my phone had died.

So you didn’t think to ask someone else if you could use their phone? I wish to hell that I would have, but honestly, I, I admit that I was a little distracted. By, by, by all the drama, you know. Okay. I don’t know what else to say. I feel terrible. All right. And I know that no amount of apologizing is gonna make up for the way that I stood you up like that, but is there any other way I can make it up to you?

Le let me take you out to dinner tonight. Anywhere you wanna go? What do you say?

The bed is lumpy. . Right. And I know you’re just sweating the smallest stuff right now, so you don’t have to think about the big stuff, baby. I’m scared. I’m scared. You know, it’s bad enough thinking that queasy Colin had a somewhere, but now I don’t even know where he is or how he is. And in a way that’s even worse.

No. Oh, I know. But you just need to try to close your eyes and rest. It’s gonna be okay. It has to be.

So let me. This straight. Colin said that he knew where Abe was and then he recanted. Yeah. That’s a long short of it. Which story do you believe? Well, I feel like at this point, if he knew where Abe was, he’d give him up. Might help him. Hmm. Now what? Yeah. Well that nurse is the only potential witness that we have at this point, and we don’t even know if she saw anything, but she still hasn’t responded to my calls, so I was hoping that you could follow up with her.

I know we were supposed to go together, but now I have to deal with charging Bedford. Well, if you don’t mind, I have a personal interest in scene as calling case through. Could we switch? Yeah, yeah, sure. I wish you the nurse then. Thank you. Yeah, and hopefully she has something to tell us.

Body and soul. Yeah. I never miss it. I used to tape it every day before they started streaming. My tapes go back 15 years. It’s all queued up. There you go. And you know you’re gonna start from the beginning and you’ve lost your memory, so it’s all new to you anyway. Right, right. All right. I’m gonna go now and I’m gonna lock the door behind me.

I want you to listen to me very carefully. I don’t wanna frighten you, but that. Man that attacked you is still out there and he’s, he’s been impersonating a cup, so it’s very important not to open the door, especially if the cops show up. Okay. You expect him to, no, of course not, but I’m a warrior. Alright, well watch your show and enjoy and get some rest and I’ll see you soon.

Sure. Okay. How about eight o’clock at the bistro? Great. It’s a date. Uh, that’s how you, that’s how you walk around the apartment, huh? Uh yeah. Yeah. You know, as we established, I live here. Uh, and look, for some reason you can’t make it tonight. You know, say you have another emergency involving Chanel. I’m making stir fry tonight.

I, I know it’s your favorite.

Chanel,

have they found your stepfather yet? No, because first your boyfriend said he knew where he was, then he said he didn’t. He’s not my boyfriend. Not anymore. Whatever. Just stay away from me and my mom. Look, I’m trying. Okay, then what the hell are you doing here? I came to make an appointment with Dr. Evans, my sister thought it’d be a good idea to talk about why I did the things I did for Colin.

Look, Chanel, I’m sorry about everything.

I don’t know what else to say anymore.

DA’s on her way. So you couldn’t convince your brother to plead guilty, huh? I tried, but uh, he’s not having it too bad. As I’m sure you know, Trask is going to throw the book at him, especially after all his transgressions after the initial crime. Not only did he escape police custody, he tried to kidnap my sister.

Oh, and he lied. While being interrogated, you know, I am well aware of the charges being brought against my brother, and I’m appalled by what he’s done, but he’s my brother and I love him. I imagine you feel the same way about your sister Colin manipulated her. They were in a consensual relationship. Talia was a willing participant.

Talia takes responsibility for what she did, as does Colin. You know, he’s not been quite the same since our parents died. If you dare try the insanity defense, don’t you tell me how to defend my client. And maybe he should stop worrying so much about my brother and start finding the mayor who seems to have been misplaced on your watch.

In St. Louis? Yes, Julie. I’m back in my hospital bed now. No, no, no. Honey, you don’t need to come. No, I’m fine. Oh, I’m I will be once they find out who really took Abe and where he is. Oh.

You’re not dressed yet, sweetheart. One of the upsides of being a gentleman of leisure is not having a set schedule, but you do have an appointment to keep

lunch with Ms. Riz. Check. Ah, yes, that. I am not going.

Yes, this is Gwen Recheck. I’m phoning to confirm a reservation for lunch, right? Yes. It’s for two people at one o’clock. Um, and just so you know, my um, guest is Mr. Vaughn Noner, Dmitri Vaughn, Mona. So I would please like a very quiet, nice table in the corner, private one. Thank you. Well, everything’s set with my interview with the mysterious Mr.

V Mok. I’m telling you, Mattie, this is going to be the spectator scoop of the century. How nice. So while everything’s coming up, roses for you. My life is over.

Yeah. Well, okay. Thanks Jada. Keep me posted. Okay. Sounds like there’s no news. Yeah, she says they have no new link. I mean, I don’t care.

Recap written by Michele and Cheryl

Rafe and Jada talk about Abe’s disappearance. Rafe believed that someone must have seen Colin take Abe out of the hospital. Jada wondered if Whitley King might have seen something. She thought she would have seen something since she was the floor nurse the night Abe was abducted. Rafe called for Whitley’s contact info.

Days Update Thursday, June 8, 2023

 

Days of Our Lives Update

Days of Our Lives logo

Update written by Joseph

Tripp comes out from his bedroom and greets Wendy, who tells him that coffee is ready. Tripp asks if she ever heard from Johnny. Wendy confirms that she did not last night or today. Tripp calls it strange and goes over how Johnny said he was on his way with takeout but then calls and says he’s with Chanel. Tripp wonders if Johnny is still with Chanel.

Johnny and Chanel walk through the town square. Johnny comments that he’s had six cups of coffee and still feels like the walking dead. Chanel apologizes and can’t believe the police kept them all night to give their statements. Chanel adds that Johnny didn’t even see what happened with Colin since he was downstairs the whole time. Johnny recalls seeing Colin hauled out and having to repeat it 600 times. Chanel feels they should’ve let him go home and get some sleep. Johnny didn’t want her to go through all that by herself and assures that it was no big deal. Johnny adds that he’s willing to do anything he can to make sure that psycho gets put away for a very long time.

Talia wakes up from a nightmare about Colin coming after her.

Colin is handcuffed to the table in the interrogation room as Paulina storms in and asks where her husband is. Rafe follows her in and questions what she’s doing as he thought she was still at the hospital. Paulina tells Rafe that he should be questioning Colin instead of her. Paulina demands that Colin tell her where her husband is right now.

Nurse Whitley listens to her voicemail from Rafe as Abe sleeps. Abe has a dream about Paulina and then wakes up in a panic as Whitley greets him.

Wendy tells Tripp that she hasn’t heard from Johnny but there could be a million reasons why he didn’t call. Tripp questions Johnny spending the entire night with his ex wife and having a million reasons that he couldn’t text her. Wendy says she’s not happy about it and he better have a good explanation, but she jumped to conclusions about the whole crazy biscuits deal and she was wrong, so this time she is giving Johnny the benefit of the doubt. Tripp says he understands, but it’s not a good look for him to keep ghosting her. Wendy remarks that trashing Johnny just to score points isn’t such a good look for Tripp either.

Johnny asks if Chanel is okay because her hands are shaking. Chanel blames the coffee. Johnny acknowledges that she had a really close call last night and hasn’t had time to process it until just now. Johnny tells her that he’s really sorry. Chanel says it’s not his fault. Johnny feels he never should’ve let her go up to Talia’s room by herself because she could’ve been hurt or worse. Chanel argues that he didn’t know Colin was up there. Chanel can’t believe that Talia had the nerve to defend Colin to her. Johnny points out that she then gave her the badge and basically turned Colin in. Johnny guesses that Talia was terrified to say anything bad about Colin because she knew he was right there. Chanel argues that Talia loved Colin and did everything he told her to do. Johnny acknowledges that included Talia giving up her job as a doctor, moving to a town she didn’t know, and terrorizing people that she never even met. Johnny states that he must have had some hold over her. Chanel questions if he’s defending Talia. Johnny points out that Talia did just go off on a building to protect Paulina, so she must feel terrible about what she did. Chanel argues that it doesn’t change the fact that Talia betrayed her in the worst possible way. Chanel declares that she will never forgive Talia.

Jada joins Talia in her room. Jada hoped she would sleep in but Talia tells her about the nightmare she had that Colin came back for her. Jada says she’s sorry but Colin is locked up now, so he can’t hurt her or anyone else. Jada adds that she won’t let Colin lay another finger on her again. Jada encourages Talia to rest as she’s been up all night. Talia points out that Jada has too. Talia doesn’t want to close her eyes again. Talia asks if Colin is still refusing to talk. Jada says it seems so. Talia asks if she really thinks Colin kidnapped Abe since he didn’t say anything to her. Talia notes that Colin escaped from the hospital at the exact same time that Abe disappeared. Talia doesn’t know who else it could be if not Colin.

Whitley tells Abe that he was tossing and turning all night, so she asks if everything is alright. Abe tells her that he had a strange dream about Paulina, but she didn’t look like her.

Paulina yells at Colin to stop staring at her and say something. Rafe explains that Colin has been exercising his fifth amendment rights since he got here and asks Paulina to step out. Paulina argues that she knows Rafe has to go by due process but she can just strangle the truth out of him. Sloan walks in and questions what the hell is going on here as no one should be talking to her client without his lawyer present. Paulina calls Colin a murderous kidnapping psychopath. Sloan responds that Colin has nothing to do with Abe’s disappearance. Colin then speaks up and claims that he does know where Abe is and if they let him out, he will take them to him.

Tripp apologizes to Wendy for what he said about Johnny and admits he was being a jerk. Tripp says he just doesn’t like seeing Wendy hurt, but if she’s not upset about it then he has no right to be. Wendy clarifies that she didn’t say she wasn’t upset, just that she hopes Johnny has a good explanation. Tripp remarks that he’s a fool if he doesn’t. Tripp points out that Wendy had three guys fighting over her, so if he was Johnny, he wouldn’t take her patience for granted. Wendy decides she should get to work. Tripp points out that she didn’t have breakfast but Wendy says she’s not hungry. Tripp encourages her to sit down and have breakfast. Wendy jokes that he doesn’t have to keep cooking for her because he feels sorry for her. Tripp says he doesn’t and if there’s anyone he feels sorry for, it’s Johnny if he doesn’t step up his game. Tripp then decides he won’t be a jerk about it and will give Johnny the benefit of the doubt like Wendy is.

Johnny decides that if Chanel is sure she’s alright, he should probably go find Wendy and explain why he disappeared last night as he didn’t text her since his phone died. Chanel agrees that Wendy is probably worried and encourages him to go now. Johnny says he’s on his way and tells Chanel to take care as he’ll see her around. Johnny starts to leave but Chanel gets a call from Julie, who tells her that Paulina went missing from the hospital.

Rafe questions Colin knowing where Abe is but he can’t tell them and he has to take them to him. Colin claims that they won’t find him without him. Sloan tells Colin not to say another word and then tells Rafe and Paulina that she needs a moment with her client. Paulina argues to let him finish because her husband’s life is at stake. Rafe reminds Paulina that they have to follow the law. Rafe orders Paulina to leave so they don’t get the case thrown out. Rafe then exits with Paulina. Sloan shuts the door and questions what the hell Colin is doing since he told her last night that he didn’t know anything about Abe’s disappearance. Sloan questions why he would confess to the cops if he did have something to do with it. Colin responds that he didn’t confess, he just said that he knew where Abe was. Sloan asks Colin one more time for the truth as to if he knows where Abe is.

Whitley asks what Abe means that she didn’t look like herself. Abe explains that in his dream, it was her but it wasn’t. She asks what he thinks that means. Abe says she looked different and wasn’t dressed like a nurse. Whitley blows it off as just a dream and says she will go make him sausage and eggs for breakfast. Abe stops her and shouts that he hates sausage. Whitley tries to argue that he’s just forgotten but Abe insists that he has not forgotten hating sausage.

Wendy and Tripp eat breakfast. Wendy guesses she was hungry. Wendy brings up Tripp saying earlier that she had three guys fighting over her and says she’s totally not used to that. Wendy brings up that her father used to tell her that she would never get married if she didn’t wear makeup or stop dressing in comfortable clothes. Tripp encourages that she is beautiful just the way she is. Wendy calls Tripp such a good guy and says she feels kind of guilty that she’s indecisive. Wendy hopes he knows that she’s totally cool with him seeing other people too. Tripp responds that he doesn’t want to see other people. Wendy goes over that Tripp is handsome, smart, and nice, calling him a total catch that could have anyone he wants. Tripp says he won’t test that theory because the only person he wants is her as they kiss.

Chanel thanks Julie and says she’ll be in touch as she hangs up. Johnny sits back down and questions Paulina missing. Chanel explains that Julie said Paulina left the hospital against doctor’s orders and Julie thought she went back to her apartment but she wasn’t there. Chanel worries about where she could be. Johnny encourages her to breathe and decides he’s going to help her find Paulina. Chanel reminds him that Wendy is waiting for him but Johnny states that this is more important. Chanel doesn’t even know where to start looking. Johnny responds that he has an idea.

Paulina complains that it’s been long enough and she wants to go back in to the interrogation room. Rafe reminds her that they have to follow the law and they don’t even know if Colin is telling the truth. Paulina argues that he is their number one suspect, questioning who else would take Abe. Paulina says she has lots of enemies, but Abe doesn’t. Rafe gets a call from Chanel, who tells him about Paulina going missing from the hospital this morning and she’s really worried about her. Rafe informs Chanel that Paulina is right here at the police station as she came to confront Colin, but she didn’t tell him that she left the hospital against medical advice. Rafe then asks Chanel to come take her back to the hospital, so Chanel says she’ll be right there and hangs up. Rafe informs Paulina that Chanel is on her way, but Paulina refuses to go anywhere until she finds out what Colin knows about where Abe is.

Whitley asks Abe what he would like instead for breakfast. Abe suggests toast and tea. Whitley asks about his headache. Abe says it’s dropping a bit and asks her to turn on the TV but Whitley says the news is too upsetting and screen time should be limited while he recovers. Abe questions if she is his mother or his wife. Whitley blames his concussion. Abe grabs the remote and turns the TV on himself.

Jada checks on Talia and asks if she needs any meds. Talia asks her to stop worrying about her as she’s caused Jada enough trouble already. Talia is surprised Jada even let her stay here. Jada says she’s her sister and she loves her. Jada questions what Colin did to her to make her feel so bad about herself. Talia responds that Colin did nothing but Jada argues that he messed with her mind. Talia says that’s because she let him. Jada points out that Talia turned him in and should be proud of herself as even the newspaper is calling her a hero which she thinks will help her case. Talia cries that she’s not a hero. Talia admits she was scared of Colin as he was furious with her. Talia says for a second, she thought maybe he would forgive her for turning on him and she felt so relieved. Talia reveals that she almost really went away with him and asks what is wrong with her. Jada says there’s nothing wrong with her. Talia knows she did the right thing by giving Chanel the badge, but she constantly hears Colin’s voice in her head. Talia breaks down crying that she betrayed him.

Colin admits to Sloan that he doesn’t know where Abe is, but argues that the cops don’t need to know that because if he can get them to agree to let him take them to Abe, then he’s sure he can escape. Sloan questions making things worse for himself and worries that if he tries to escape again, he could end up dead. Sloan calls Colin selfish, pointing out that he’s the only family she has left. Sloan says if Colin pleads guilty, she can at least try for a plea deal. Sloan adds that there will be prison time. Colin blames Talia but Sloan says he might not have trashed Paulina’s office or drugged the biscuits, but she can’t get him off for what he did on the roof and assaulting a cop. Sloan is relieved that Colin didn’t actually kidnap the mayor, but says he has to admit to everything he’s done. Colin doesn’t want to go to prison, but Sloan says there is no choice so she asks what it will be.

Tripp and Wendy continue kissing until there’s a knock at the door. Wendy answers to see Johnny with breakfast. Wendy informs him that she already ate. Johnny comes in and sees that Tripp is back. Wendy informs Johnny that Tripp flew in last night and made her breakfast as well as tacos for dinner last night since Johnny never showed up because he was too busy with Chanel. Johnny says he can explain. Wendy questions if he can explain why he didn’t even call. Johnny says he couldn’t because he was stuck at the police station all night. Tripp doubts there was no cell signal at the police station and points out that they also have landlines. Johnny asks to talk to Wendy alone for a second. Tripp agrees to go take a shower but Wendy says no, arguing that Tripp lives here so Johnny can’t tell him what to do or where to go. Tripp tells Wendy not to worry and that it’s fine as he heads to his room. Johnny pleads with Wendy to let him explain this. Wendy tells him to explain what he was doing at the police station.

Jada argues that Talia didn’t betray anyone. Talia brings up that Colin never hurt her physically. Jada argues that emotionally abusive relationships turn physical almost all the time and she sees it almost every day. Jada thinks Talia should see a therapist and help figure out what happened and why. Jada mentions that Marlena is apparently the best. Talia questions why it would matter to work through her feelings if she’s going to prison anyway. Jada asks why she’s giving up so easily and encourages her to be the strong woman she knows. Talia argues that it was all just an act. Talia talks about putting a lot of pressure on herself because she didn’t think she would measure up and that’s the only reason that she succeeded at anything. Jada argues that Talia is bright, hard working, and not someone who gives up. Jada apologizes for not knowing that she was hurting and suffering. Jada asks what it would hurt to talk to Marlena. Jada asks Talia to do it for her, so she agrees to as they hug.

Whitley unplugs the cable so that Abe can’t watch TV, then claims the cable must be out because she didn’t pay the bill. Whitley talks about not making enough, so Abe asks if he doesn’t have a job and she tells him that he’s retired. Whitley makes up a story that Abe owned an ice cream shop which he calls a vague memory. Whitley says she will go pick up a shift at work and mentions that Chanel is busy at her bakery. Whitley encourages that even though the cable is out, he can watch her recordings of 15 years of Body & Soul.

Rafe reminds Paulina that she was hospitalized for hypertension. Paulina claims she’s fine now. Rafe questions why she left the hospital. Paulina explains that Chanel went to get her dinner, but then she texted her that something came up and then she saw on the news that Chanel was involved in the arrest of Colin and no one even told her. Rafe assures that Chanel was never in danger and they still have not established a definite connection between Abe’s disappearance and Colin. Paulina argues that he just admitted it. Rafe repeats that they don’t know if he’s telling the truth yet. Sloan comes out of the interrogation room and announces that Colin was mistaken and doesn’t know anything about Abe’s disappearance. Rafe takes it that Colin was lying then. Paulina suggests he could be lying now and this could be one of Sloan’s tactics. Sloan insists that she was very clear that Colin had to be straight with her so she could use any information to his advantage, so she’s certain that he doesn’t know where Abe is. Sloan calls that the God’s honest truth.

Johnny tells Wendy that he’s really sorry because the last thing he meant to do was let her down. Johnny questions her not saying anything. Wendy responds that she understands he witnessed a crime and had to make a statement, but she doesn’t understand why he didn’t let her know. Johnny admits that he should have, but they were questioning him for quite awhile and by the time he had a chance, his phone had died. Wendy questions Johnny not asking to use someone else’s phone. Johnny wishes he would have, but admits he was a little distracted by all the drama. Johnny says he feels terrible and he knows no apology will make up for how he stood her up. Johnny asks if there’s any other way he can make it up to her and offers to take her out to dinner, anywhere she wants to go.

Chanel gets Paulina back in her hospital bed. Paulina complains that she’s scared since she doesn’t know where or how Abe is. Chanel encourages her to rest and says it has to be okay.

Jada joins Rafe at the police station where Rafe informs her that Colin said he knew where Abe was but then recanted it. Rafe feels if Colin knew where Abe was, he’d give him up. Rafe adds that Nurse Whitley is their only potential witness left but they don’t even know if she saw anything and she still hasn’t returned his call. Rafe hoped that Jada could follow up with her and says he knows they were going to go together, but now he has to deal with charging Colin. Jada says if he doesn’t mind, she has a personal interest in seeing this Colin case through, so she asks if they can switch. Rafe agrees and says he will follow up with Nurse Whitley.

Whitley tells Abe about her collection of 15 years of Body & Soul recordings. She tells him that she’s going to work and will lock the door. She brings up the man who attacked him still being out there and that he was impersonating a cop, so it’s very important that Abe not answer the door, especially if the cops show up. Whitley says she’ll see him soon, kisses him on the cheek, and then exits.

Talia arrives at the hospital and comes across Chanel.

Tripp comes out of the shower as Wendy agrees to dinner at the Bistro with Johnny. Johnny says it’s a date and then questions if Tripp walks around the apartment in just a towel. Tripp reminds him that he lives here. Tripp then says that if Johnny can’t make it tonight or has another emergency with Chanel, he’s making stir fry which he knows is Wendy’s favorite. Tripp then heads back to his room.

Chanel tries to walk away but Talia stops her and asks if they’ve found Abe. Chanel says no, because first Colin said he knew where Abe was and then said he didn’t. Talia states that Colin is not her boyfriend anymore. Chanel tells her to just stay the hell away from her and Paulina. Chanel questions what Talia is even doing there. Talia explains that she came to make an appointment with Marlena because Jada thought it would be a good idea to talk about why she did the things she did for Colin. Talia tells Chanel that she’s sorry about everything but she doesn’t know what else to say anymore as she then walks away.

Jada finishes a call and tells Sloan that Melinda is on her way. Jada questions if Sloan couldn’t convince Colin to plead guilty. Sloan admits she tried but he’s not having it. Jada says that’s too bad as Melinda is going to throw the book at him, especially for all the transgressions after the initial crime. Jada brings up that Colin escaped police custody, tried to kidnap her sister, and lied while being interrogated. Sloan is well aware of the charges against her brother but he’s her brother and she loves him. Sloan remarks that she imagines Jada feels the same about her sister. Jada argues that Colin manipulated her while Sloan argues that they were in a consensual relationship and that Talia was a willing participant. Jada responds that Talia takes responsibility for what she did. Sloan says that Colin does too and that he hasn’t been quite the same since their parents died. Jada warns her about trying the insanity defense while Sloan tells her not to dare try to tell her how to defend her client. Sloan adds that Jada should stop worrying so much about Colin and start finding Abe as he seems to have been displaced on her watch.

Abe watches Body & Soul until Rafe knocks on the door.

Paulina talks on the phone to Julie, assuring that she’s back in her hospital bed and she doesn’t need to come as she is fine, or she will be when they find out who really took Abe and where he is. Nurse Whitley then enters Paulina’s room.

Update written by Joseph

Johnny is at the DiMera Mansion, on the phone with Wendy. Johnny suggests they have dinner at the Pub but Wendy jokes about avoiding another run in with Leo. Johnny decides he can pickup takeout and meet her at her place, so they can avoid anyone else. After they hang up, Tripp returns home and surprises Wendy.

At the police station, Rafe complains about not finding anything on Colin yet. Jada points out that they don’t even know if Colin is still in Salem. Rafe suggests going over everything they know so far. Jada talks about Abe waking up and not recognizing Chanel, so she went to go find a doctor. Rafe worries that was long enough for Colin to take Abe out of the hospital. Jada points out that Abe was suffering memory loss and wouldn’t have even recognized Colin dressed as a cop. Rafe worries that Abe might not even know the danger he’s in.

Whitley, the nurse pretending to be Paulina, tells Abe that she is going to cook them a delicious homecooked meal. Abe responds that this just doesn’t seem like his home or the least bit familiar, so he’s just not sure. Abe questions if she is sure that she’s his wife.

Chanel checks on Paulina in the hospital. Paulina complains that she needs the cops to find Abe. Chanel encourages her to breathe and stay positive so her blood pressure doesn’t spike again. Chanel suggests Paulina eat to keep up her strength. Julie arrives and agrees, saying that she knows Abe would want the woman he loves to take care of herself. Chanel asks Julie to stay with Paulina while she goes to get her a burger from the Pub. Chanel then exits. Julie tells Paulina that she came as soon as she heard she was in the hospital. Paulina complains that she’s tense because Abe was kidnapped by a maniac and it’s all her fault. Julie encourages that nothing will happen to Abe because he’s a survivor and he can handle Colin.

Colin grabs Talia in her room and covers her mouth, telling her that she cannot scream. Colin lets her go, so Talia asks what he wants. Colin responds that he needs to settle the score.

Wendy asks what Tripp is doing here. Tripp reminds her that he lives here. Wendy says she just wasn’t expecting him and asks how Joey is. Tripp says he’s doing well and been out of the hospital for 6 weeks, so he’s starting to get around on his own. Wendy figured it would be a lot longer considering how bad he broke his leg. Wendy asks if Joey was okay with Tripp leaving. Tripp confirms that Joey was with his girlfriend and the doctors gave him the all clear. Tripp adds that Joey was ready to have his place back and he had a pretty important reason to come home. Wendy asks what. Tripp says it was her.

Chanel goes to the Brady Pub and runs in to Johnny, who says he heard about Abe being kidnapped and he’s so sorry. Johnny asks how Paulina is holding up. Chanel informs him that she was just admitted to the hospital for hypertension. Chanel cries that Paulina was already having panic attacks because of Sloan and now because of Abe being kidnapped, they are both scared. Johnny hugs Chanel and assures that Abe will be okay as the cops are not going to rest until they bring him home. Chanel mentions that Julie is staying with Paulina while she picks up food. Johnny mentions that he also came to pick up food for he and Wendy. Chanel asks how that’s going. Johnny says so far so good as long as he can get Leo to leave them alone. Chanel hopes things work out for them because she really wants him to be happy. Chanel then gets a text from the district attorney’s office that Talia was released on bail which shocks them. Chanel remarks that she bets the bitch is right upstairs.

Talia begs Colin not to hurt her. Colin argues that she pushed him off a building. Talia cries that she was just trying to keep him from doing something that he would regret. Colin remarks that he only regrets that she got in his way because he wanted Chanel and Paulina dead, but instead they almost ended up like that. Colin declares that he’s so very disappointed in Talia. Colin says they almost had everything they wanted but then she betrayed him to save that worthless, homicidal whore.

Rafe tells Jada that he just checked in with the officers, who are going over the hospital security footage. Jada says she wouldn’t be surprised if he avoided the cameras. Rafe insists that someone had to have seen him sneak Abe out of there. Jada looks over the file and asks what about Whitley King.

Whitley insists to Abe that she is his wife, reminding him that Chanel showed him their wedding photo at the hospital. Abe remains uncertain and says this just doesn’t feel right. Whitley encourages that soon, his memory will come back. She calls it par for the course with what he’s been through and promises that soon, everything will start feeling normal again. Abe agrees to give it time.

Julie tells Paulina that Abe would not want her blaming herself for all of this. Paulina insists that she is to blame, because if Abe didn’t marry her, he would have never been anywhere near Colin. Paulina points out that it’s the second time that Abe has been brutally attacked because of her secrets and lies. Julie blames herself for the T.R. situation since she’s the one who told Abe to find Paulina that night, to tell her that he wanted her back. Paulina argues that Julie couldn’t have known. Julie says the same that Paulina couldn’t have known what Colin would pull. Julie urges her to stop blaming herself. Julie praises Paulina as smart, pretty, and loyal with more love in her heart than anyone she has met. Julie calls her a blessing to everyone in her life and says that Abe and Chanel treasure her more than she knows. Julie tells her again to stop blaming herself. Paulina thanks her and doesn’t know how she would get through this without her. Julie assures that she’s not going anywhere and any minute now, the police will catch a break.

Rafe and Jada talk about Whitley being on duty on Abe’s floor that night so it’s possible she saw something. Rafe decides they should find out and makes a phone call to the hospital to get Whitley’s contact information.

Whitley tells Abe that she’s going to get dinner ready and heads to the kitchen. Abe decides to turn on the TV and sees the news reports an update on the search for Colin Bedford.

Colin argues that Talia ruined the plan for that stupid skank. Talia argues that she didn’t do it for Chanel, but to keep him from life in prison or the death penalty. Colin complains that no one would’ve known where he was if Talia didn’t bring Jada to the roof. Talia cries that she was terrified for him and that pushing him off the roof was an accident as she was trying to get the gun from him. Talia points out that he can’t think she would’ve wanted to go off the roof. Talia reminds Colin that every cop in Salem is looking for him, so she asks why he’s still in Salem and in Jada’s room of all places. Talia asks why he didn’t just run. Colin says not without the woman he loves.

Chanel wants to go upstairs and confront Talia but Johnny stops her and tells her to take it easy. Chanel questions how to do that when Talia is free and her psycho boyfriend is doing God knows what to Abe. Johnny says Talia is not free, just out on bail, and insists that she will pay for what she did. Chanel complains about Talia pretending to be her friend and trying to get her to fall for her just so she could ruin her life. Chanel asks how she could let this happen and says she feels like such a fool. Johnny responds that Chanel is nobody’s fool. Chanel remarks that if she wasn’t so clueless, maybe she could’ve stopped Colin before he hurt Abe. Chanel insists on going to confront Abe. Johnny tells her no but Chanel argues that Talia could know where Colin took Abe. Johnny asks if she really thinks Talia would give him up if she knew. Chanel responds that she doesn’t know but she owes it to Abe to try. Johnny says fine but he’s coming with her.

Wendy texts Johnny, asking when he is coming over. Tripp unpacks his bags and says he’ll straighten up later but right now he’s starving. Tripp offers to cook but Wendy says she actually has dinner plans as Johnny is bringing over takeout. Tripp questions her still hanging out with Johnny and jokes that he figured Johnny moved on but says that’s too bad. Tripp says it’s fine that Johnny is still around as he respects Wendy keeping her options open, but he wants to make sure that she has no problem in making the right choice very soon. Wendy comments that Tripp seems different in a good way with more confidence. Tripp responds that being away gave him time to think about how much he missed her and what he wanted to change when he got back. Tripp feels in the past, he didn’t assert himself enough with women he cared about as he was too insecure and ended up politely stepping aside with all these regrets. Tripp decides he’s not going to do that anymore and will make sure his intentions are known right from the start. Tripp says that he will be respectful, but also assertive as he declares that he intends to be Wendy’s man.

Chanel tells Johnny that it’s not a good idea for him to come upstairs with her. Johnny argues that she’s not going alone as Talia could try something. Chanel insists that Talia is not going to hurt her. Johnny gets Wendy’s text and tells her that he will be there soon. Chanel insists that she needs to go confront Talia alone because she’ll be more likely to tell her where Abe is if she doesn’t feel threatened or ambushed and time is running out. Johnny gives in but decides he’s going to wait right here and if Chanel doesn’t come back soon, he’s coming up to get her. Chanel accepts that and thanks him as she then heads upstairs.

Rafe is on the phone, trying to get Whitley’s contact information and asks them to please help him out on this. Rafe thanks them and hangs up, informing Jada that he got Whitley’s contact information. Jada decides they will find out what she knows about Abe’s disappearance.

Abe watches the news report on Colin going missing, but Whitley comes back and turns off the TV before they can mention Abe’s disappearance. Abe questions what she did that for. Whitley says she heard them talking about the man who attacked him and they don’t need to relive those grisly details. Abe argues that he does so he might be able to recover some of his memories. Whitley feels those memories are better left forgotten. Abe complains that he doesn’t even know why this man attacked him or what he did to him. Whitley says they don’t need to talk about this right now. Abe shouts that he wants to talk about it and asks her to tell him what happened. Whitley then gets a phone call from Rafe. Abe questions her not answering it.

Talia questions Colin saying he stayed for her. Colin responds that he needs her and can’t imagine his life without her, which is why they are going to leave Salem together. Talia pulls back so Colin questions if she doesn’t want to come with him. Talia says she does but she just needs to pack a bag first. Colin argues that she can get whatever she needs on the road. Talia stops to ask Colin where Abe is. Colin asks what the hell she’s talking about. Chanel then knocks on the door, yelling that she knows Talia is in there and demanding that she open the door.

Paulina gets a text from Melinda that Talia has been let go and made bail. Julie doesn’t see how that’s possible when it’s a fact that Talia worked for Colin, ransacked Paulina’s office, and poisoned half of Salem. Julie questions how they could do that. Paulina doubts Talia will ever help Colin again since she risked her own life to help her and Chanel on the roof. Julie is glad they are alright. Paulina wishes she could say the same for Abe. Paulina talks about seeing the rage in Colin’s eyes when he held her captive. Paulina worries that Colin is taking it out on Abe and punishing her by making sure her husband never comes home. Paulina starts to panic, saying it can’t end this way. Julie encourages that it’s not going to end as her love story with Abe has many more chapters. Julie then brings up that it’s about time for their first wedding anniversary. Paulina admits it slipped her mind. Julie encourages that in a short time, she will be holding Abe in her arms again and they will celebrating their first wedding anniversary while all of Salem will be celebrating Juneteenth.

Abe asks Whitley who is calling. She claims that it says potential spam and ignores it. Whitley then goes back to the kitchen to continue preparing dinner.

Rafe’s call goes to voicemail and leaves a message for Whitley, saying he needs to speak to her right away about the abduction of Abe and asks her to call him back as soon as possible. Rafe tells Jada that they will just have to wait for her to call them back. Jada then suggests they could visit her in person.

Wendy thinks Tripp has made his intentions pretty clear and remembers what he said to her before she left Seattle. Tripp responds that he doesn’t plan to be passive anymore and he plans to sweep her off her feet to make her forget all about Johnny and all other men, if he’s still in the running. Wendy assures that he is. Tripp tells Wendy that she can go ahead and wait for Johnny and his lukewarm takeout, but when she’s ready for something a lot more appetizing, she knows where to find him. Tripp then heads to his room.

Chanel continues pounding on Talia’s door. Colin remarks that it looks like he has a second chance with her after all. Talia stops him and warns that he can’t shoot Chanel because the place is full of people that will hear it. Talia encourages that they still have a chance to get out of here, but if he kills Chanel, then they will both end up in prison. Talia asks Colin to let her talk to Chanel, so she can get her to go away and then they can both leave and go far away together. Talia tells Colin to trust that she can handle Chanel. Colin tells her to make it quick as he goes to hide in the bathroom. Talia then answers the door and tells Chanel that it’s not a good time. Chanel says that’s too bad as she’s going to make time for what she has to say. Chanel brings up everything Talia has done to her. Talia tells her to give it a rest already and to stop playing victim all the time. Talia argues that Chanel brought all of this on herself when she seduced a man and killed his wife. Colin listens in from behind the door. Chanel responds that it’s not how it went down no matter what her deranged boyfriend told her. Chanel questions what the hell Colin did with Abe. Talia says she doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Chanel accuses her of lying and says she knows he told her. Talia claims that she hasn’t seen or spoken to Colin since they got taken to the hospital. Chanel informs her that Abe was also in the hospital, getting brain surgery since Colin bashed him over thead with a rolling pin, and then when he woke up, Colin kidnapped him, so she needs her to tell her where he is. Talia responds that she can’t tell her anything that she doesn’t know. Chanel argues that Talia knows what Colin’s doing is wrong and that’s why she saved her life on the roof. Talia claims that her life means nothing and that she did it for Colin, so he wouldn’t get a murder charge like what Chanel did to his mother. Chanel calls her a damn liar. Talia doesn’t care what she believes but tells her that she has to leave now as she hurries her out the door. Talia tells Chanel to leave and not come back. Talia then slips Chanel the police badge from Colin’s stolen uniform and whispers for her to help her as she shuts the door.

Tripp cooks dinner as Wendy comes in and says something smells great. Tripp says not half as great as she looks. Tripp asks where her date is as he thought he was supposed to be here by now. Wendy says he was, so she assumes that he’s on his way. Tripp tells Wendy not to worry as when Johnny shows up late, he’ll take his delicious tacos to his room to enjoy all by himself, or she could cancel on Johnny and eat with him.

Johnny waits at the Pub as Chanel comes back downstairs. Johnny asks her what’s wrong. Chanel responds that she thinks Colin is up there. Johnny asks if she saw him. Chanel explains that she saw Talia and she claimed to know nothing about Abe and that she hasn’t seen Colin, but as she was being forced out by her, she mouthed “help me” and slipped her the police badge in to her hand. Johnny states that it’s a real police badge and realizes that Colin stole a cop’s uniform. Johnny decides he’s calling Rafe.

Whitley brings Abe dinner and says she’s going to make the bed, so they can turn in right after supper. Abe stops her and says he can’t go to bed with her.

Jada tells Rafe that they have nurse Whitley’s address, so she suggests they go over there and see what she knows. Rafe then gets a call from Johnny, who tells him that he needs to get to the Brady Pub right away as he’s there with Chanel and they think Colin is upstairs with Talia. Rafe says he’s on his way and hangs up. Rafe informs Jada that Johnny and Chanel are at the Pub and they think Talia might be there with Colin.

Colin comes out from hiding as Talia says she told him that she could get rid of Chanel. Colin remarks that it’s good to see her head back in the game as he was thinking she had gone soft on him. Talia kisses Colin and says she would never. Colin says when the heat dies down, he’ll sneak back in to town to finish the job on Chanel and Paulina. Talia says they should probably get going. Colin thought she wanted to pack a bag but Talia decides he was right that she can get stuff on the road. Colin then turns around and notices the police badge is missing. Colin questions where it is, saying he put it right on the table. Talia claims not to know what he’s talking about. Colin tells her to stop lying to him as he grabs her and accuses her of giving it to Chanel.

Chanel complains about the cops taking so long. Johnny says that Rafe said he was on his way. Chanel says he needs to hurry. Johnny gets a call from Wendy and says he totally forgot about her. Johnny answers the call as Wendy asks where he is as she thought he was on his way. Johnny informs her that something came up and he’s with Chanel which Wendy questions. Johnny explains that they ran in to each other at the Pub. Rafe and Jada then arrive. Johnny tells Wendy that he has to go and hangs up. Chanel explains to Rafe and Jada what happened with Talia and shows them the badge. Jada says she has to get up there. Rafe tells Johnny and Chanel to stay there as he and Jada head upstairs.

Tripp asks Wendy if everything is okay. Wendy responds that Johnny is not coming because he’s with Chanel. Tripp asks if she’s okay. Wendy says she’s fine and she’s suddenly so in the mood for tacos.

Talia cries that Colin is hurting her. Colin says it’s nothing compared to what he’ll do to her if she doesn’t find the badge. Rafe and Jada approach the door. Talia tries to say maybe it fell under the table but Colin grabs her and pulls his gun out, telling her to give it up and calling her a backstabbing bitch. Colin declares that he knows what Talia has done and now he’s going to make her pay for it. Rafe and Jada burst in with their guns drawn as Colin grabs Talia at gunpoint. Jada tells Colin that it’s over while Rafe demands he let Talia go now. Colin lets Talia go and she runs to Jada’s arms. Rafe forces Colin to drop his gun and then arrests him.

Paulina tells Julie that if she knew Chanel would take this long getting burgers, she would’ve settled for the hospital food. Julie talks about how easily distracted kids can get these days. Paulina hopes that’s all it is and she didn’t have another run in with Talia or Colin as she doesn’t know how much more trauma her family can take.

Abe tells Whitley that he wouldn’t feel comfortable sharing a bed with her when he doesn’t remember who she is. Whitley offers to pull the sofa out in to a bed which Abe says he would appreciate. She calls it only temporary as they have the whole rest of their lives together.

If you haven’t had dinner yet, we could swing by the pub. You sure you wanna risk another encounter with Lady Whistleblower? Ah, good point. Well, um, how about this? I could pick up some takeout, bring it to your place, that way we could avoid all the gossip columnists and anyone else for that matter.

Sounds like a plan. I’ll see you soon.

Hello?

Hi honey. I’m,

I have units in all the parks by the riverfront around the lake, and nothing yet. Well, does that surprise you? I mean, we don’t even know if Colin’s still in Salem. Right? Right. You know what? How about we go back to the top? Let’s go over everything that we know so far. Okay. Well, we know that when a woke up in the morning, Chanel was with him, but he didn’t recognize her.

So she went to go find his doctor. She left him alone for maybe. 15 minutes. Yeah, 15 minutes long enough for that bastard to grab a wheelchair, get Abe and roll him out of the hospital. And since Abe is suffering from memory loss, he would’ve not recognized Colin and went along willingly, especially since the guy was dressed as a cop.

Oh my God. Poor Abe. He might not even know the danger he’s in.

Oh, silly, silly, silly, silly me. I’ve been so concerned about you getting some rest and I completely forgot that you need to eat. Well, my love. Prepare yourself because I’m gonna go fix us the most delicious home cooked meal. You know, uh,

this just doesn’t seem like my home. I mean, uh, as I said before, this just doesn’t seem to be, uh, the least bit familiar. I’m just, I’m just not sure. Are you sure about what? That you’re my wife.

You need anything, mama? I need those damn cops to find my husband. I am so sick and tired waiting. Of course you are. And mama, I know you hate being told to calm down, but you gotta try to just breathe and stay positive. We don’t want your blood pressure spiking again, and you should probably try to keep something to keep up your strengths.

Your daughter is right if I know Abe Carver, and indeed I do. He would want the woman he loves to take care of herself. Mrs. Williams. Hi. Hi honey. Our patient is refusing to eat well. To be fair, the food is pretty unappetizing. Yeah. Would you mind staying here with Mama while I find her something else?

Like say a burger from the pub? Oh, yes. Oh yes. Oh, make it too, and it’s on me. Oh, no, no, no, no. It’s my tree, darling. Okay, I’ll Thank you, sweetheart. Paul. Oh, Paul. I came as soon as I heard you were admitted. Oh, it’s hypertension. No. Why the hell should I be test? My husband was kidnapped by this maniac, and it’s all my photo.

Julie. Julie, if anything happen, Tova, nothing’s gonna happen to him. Nothing’s gonna happen to Abraham because Abraham is a survivor. And if there’s one person in this town that can handle Bedford, it’s your Abraham.

Relax, Talia. Relax. Alright, that’s me. Yeah. I’m gonna move my hand, but you cannot scream. Not if you understand me here.

Where you want, just tell me, isn’t it clear and it’s.

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

Trip. What are you doing here? I live here unless you gave me the boot when I was back in Seattle. Of course not. I just, I wasn’t expecting you. And how’s Joey? He’s doing well. He’s doing well outta the hospital about six weeks now. And you can already get around pretty much on his own. Wow. Yeah.

Considering how badly his leg was broken, I figured it would take a lot longer. Let’s see. Is okay with you leaving? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. He and his girlfriend were okay with it. Ah, yeah. But don’t get me wrong, my brother was very appreciative that I came out and, uh mm-hmm. I obviously wouldn’t have left if the doctors didn’t give me the all clear.

But he was ready to have his place back and, uh, I had a pretty important reason to come home. Really? What? You

Chanel? Hey, I, uh, I heard about a being kidnapped. I’m so sorry. How’s Paulina holding up? Um, I mean, they just admitted her to the hospital for hypertension. Oh no. Yeah, she was already having panic attacks thanks to Sloan. And then now with Abe being kidnapped by Sloan’s insane brother. She’s scared to death.

So am I. Hey, hey, hey. Look, babe. Abe is gonna be just fine. All right. The cops are not gonna rest until they bring him home safely. Believe that. Because it’s true. You sound like Miss Julie. She’s staying with mom while I came to pick up food. Oh, see, great minds. I came to, uh, pick up some takeouts for Wendy and I And how’s that going?

So far so good. If I could just get, uh, Leo start to leave us alone, other guy is such an ass. Um, I’m. I, I really hope things work out with you guys. I really want you to be happy, G.

You have got to be kidding me. What, what, what happened? It’s a text from the DA’s office. Talia Hunter was released on bail. Seriously. Yeah. And I bet you that conniving bitch is right upstairs.

Come. This is gonna hurt me. Don’t worried I’m gonna hurt you. Huh? You pushed me off a bloody building. Carlin. I was trying to save you. Whoa. You were trying to save Chanel? No. You had a gut to her head. Okay. I was just trying to keep you from doing something that she would regret. I regret. The only thing I regret is that you get in my way.

I wanted that girl and her mom dead instead. We almost didn’t like that. I am so. Very disappointing in you, Talia. We almost had everything that we wanted and then you betrayed me. Hmm, for hmm. Save that worthless, homicidal war.

Hey, I just checked in with Officers Bates and Coffee. They’re going over every second of the hospital surveillance footage. Well, Collin’s pretty crafty, so it wouldn’t surprise me if you avoided the cameras. Yeah, but someone must have seen him trying to sneak Abe out of there. What about Widley King?

Of course, I’m your wife, Abraham. Who else would I be. I mean, my daughter showed you our wedding photo at the hospital, remember? Yes. Still, I, I don’t know. It just, oh, please, please, please, please don’t do that. Don’t do that. Please. Oh, it’s, somebody’s still feeling a little grumpy. Usually Mr. Tiger just makes you feel so much better.

Oh, it usually calms you down, but you don’t seem very calm. Because this just doesn’t feel right. Oh, listen, after what you’ve been through, Abraham, of course it doesn’t feel right for now, but soon your memory will come back. I know it will. I dunno. Look, I’m a nurse and this is just par for the course for what you’ve been through.

Pretty soon everything will start feeling normal again. Me and Mr. T and everything, I promise you. Okay. Okay. I will give it time. That’s the spirit.

Now, you know I am right. Abe would not want you blaming yourself for all this, but I am to blame Julie. If he didn’t marry me, he would’ve never been anywhere near that Colin Bedford. And, and that, that maniac blamed Chanel for happened to his parents and me for covering it up. Well, you knew that Chanel was innocent.

You knew it was just an accident. You were protecting your child, not my husband. This is the second time that Abe has been brutally attacked because my secrets and lies first tr bludgeons him and then he gets a skull cracked. But his animals well, as far as that TR situation is concerned, I think I’m to blame as much as anybody else.

Well, how can you say that? Don’t you remember? I’m the one that told AB Should find you that night. And tell you that he wanted you back. Oh, no, Julie, you was just being a good friend. You could not have known what TR was going to do to him. Well, any more than you knew what Bedford was gonna pull. Honey, please, please stop blaming yourself.

Now listen to me. You’re a wonderful woman. You’re smart as a whip, and you’re pretty, and you’re loyal, and you have. More love in your heart than anybody I ever met. You’re a blessing to all the people in your life, especially your husband and your daughter. They treasure you, Paulina, I think, more than you know.

So no more self-flagellation, you stop blaming yourself. Alright.

Thank you, Julie. I don’t know how I was gonna get through this without you. Oh, babe, you don’t have to worry about that because I’m not going anywhere and any minute now. The police are gonna catch a break from your lips. Julie, from your lips?

Lily King. Oh, she’s the nurse right? Yeah, she was on duty on Abe’s floor when he disappeared. Mm-hmm. It’s possible she saw something. Let’s find out.

Hey, this is police Commissioner Hernandez. I need contact information for someone on your staff. All right. I’m gonna go get dinner ready. You always go cook for my cooking. I do. Oh yes. Oh yes. I know exactly what to do to wet your appetite back in the

this just in folks, we have an update on the search for Fugitive Colin Bedford. We blew the entire plan apart. You’ve ruined it all. For what? The stupid skank, what I, I didn’t do it for Chanel, Colin. I did it for you to keep you from life in prison or worse, the death building. And no one would’ve known where I was if you hadn’t have brought your sister to the roof con.

I was terrified for, for you if you would’ve murdered both of those. One, I. Collin, it would’ve been no return for you. So what you decided to show his bike off a roof? That was an accident. Okay. I was trying to get the gun out of here. Come. You can’t possibly think that I wanted to go off the top of the roof of the Salem ends and my God, if it wasn’t for that awning.

Yeah, you’re right. Andrew’s working out for us and now every cop in the city is looking for you. Culin, what are you still doing here in Salem? And in my sister’s room of all places. Huh? Why didn’t you just run better? A woman that I love? Nah, not chance.

I am going upstairs right now to ring her scrawny little neck. Oh, hey Chanel, take it easy. How am I supposed to take it? Easy when that lying snake is free. Meanwhile, her cycle boyfriend is doing God knows what to ape. All right. First of all, Talia is not free. Okay? She’s out on bail and believe me, she’s gonna pay for what she did You mean worm her weight into my life, into my business, pretending to be my friend, trying to get me to fall for her.

Also, that she could destroy my life. How could I let this happen? Johnny? I, I feel like such a fool.

Free is nobody’s fool. Oh, no. If I hadn’t been so freaking clueless that maybe I could have stopped calling before he hurt Abe, I’m going upstairs to confront tall you. Oh, no you’re not. I have to. She might know where Colin took Abe. Even if she did, do you really think she’d give him up? I don’t know, but I owe it to my stepfather to try.

Fine. You can try, but I’m coming with you.

Well, Everything the way you left him. Yeah. Yeah. Nice and messy, you know. Now straighten up later, cuz right now I am starving. So how about I whip us up some shrimp tacos? I feel like my peppers and eggs, these will blow your mind. Wow, that sounds amazing. But I actually have dinner plans. Yeah. Johnny’s bringing over takeout.

Still hanging out with that guy. Huh? You know, I am. Yeah. Well, I just figured he’d moved to Transylvanian to do a documentary on vampires or married a couple more womb while I was away. He’s stunned. Neither, not too bad. But seriously, it’s uh, it’s fine that Johnny’s still around, you know? And like I told you back in Seattle, I, I, I respect that you’re keeping your options open, but, uh, but I’m gonna make sure that you have no problem.

And making the right choice. Very soon the right choice meaning me, in case you’re wondering. Trip, you seem different in a good way. Hmm. You just seem more confident. Yeah. I think that’s it. Yeah. Well, being away gave me time to think about how much I missed you. But also about what I wanted to change when I got back about myself.

I mean, you see in the past as women that I cared about, I didn’t assert myself enough, you know, when there was competition, I was too insecure or whatever, and I would just end up slightly stepping aside and then have all these regrets.

Well, I’m not gonna do that anymore. Now, from now on, I’m gonna make sure my intentions are known right from the start. Respectfully. Of course. Good for you. So, under the heading of being respectful, but also assertive, Wendy Shin, if you’ll have me, I intend to be your man,

Johnny. No, it is not a good idea for you to come upstairs with me. Well, you’re not going alone. If she’s as crazy as you say she is, she could try something because she’s not gonna hurt me.

Text from Wendy.

Look, Johnny, I need to go confront Talia alone. Why? Because that way she’s more likely to tell me where Abe is. If she feels threatened or ambushed, then she might not talk at all, and time is running out.

Okay, fine. But I am gonna be waiting right here. And if you don’t come back soon, I’m coming up there to get you deal. Thanks.

No, I understand that it’s against hospital policy to give out employee contact information, but this is an urgent police matter. By the time I get to Warren, it might be too late to help. Mayor Carver, please, please help me out in this.

Yeah,

got it. Thank you. Okay, I got it. Nurse Whitley’s contact info. Great. Let’s find out what she knows about Abe’s disappearance. Yep.

Bedford, who escaped police custody this morning. Is believed to be responsible for, what the hell did you do that for? I heard them talking about that awful man who attacked you. Believe me, we don’t need to relive those grizzly details. I absolutely do. I mean, I, I, I’m, I might be able to recover some of my memories.

Oh, believe me, darling. Those memories are best left, forgotten. I don’t even know why this man attacked me. I mean, what did I do to him? Oh, darling, we don’t need to talk about this right now. I want to talk about it. I want you to tell me what happened. So please, Paul tell me,

oh, come on. We

aren’t you gonna get that

you stay for me. Of course. I need you, Talia. I can’t imagine my life about you. That’s why we’re gonna leave sale together. Come on, let’s go. Mm.

Well, you don’t wanna come with me. No, I do. I I just need the pack bag first. That’s all. Forget the bag. You can get whatever you need on the road. Okay. But before we leave, can I ask you something? Colin, where’s Abe Carver? How hell are you talking about?

I know you

up now.

They let Talia Hunter go, Belinda, trash just text me and Chanel like the ful, little heifer mabell. Well, I don’t see how that’s possible. I mean, it’s a fact that you worked for Bedford. She sent you those awful texts. She ransack your office. Not to mention poisoning half of Salem, how could they do that?

Even the see for little heifers are entitled to due process and I doubt Natalia will ever help Colin again. See, that’s how she risked her own life to help me and Chanel on that roof was an awful experience. Thank God. You’re all right. And Chanel too. I wish I could say the same for a. I keep saying that, that look in Colin’s eyes, when he was holding me captive, I was like, rage.

What if he, what if he’s taking out his anger at me out on? What if he’s, he’s punishing me by making sure that my husband never come. It’s just, it truly know, you know, it can’t end this way. Honey, honey, honey, honey, it’s not going honey sweetie pie. It’s not gonna end. It’s not gonna end. Not a chance. We’re gonna be many, many more chapters through our love story with a, and I believe is how.

It’s about time for your first wedding anniversary, isn’t it? Oh, rest, right. You know, oh, with everything going on, it’s just, it’s, it slipped my mind. Well, didn’t slip mine. When you mark my words, Mrs. Carver, in just a very short time, you’re gonna be holding Abraham in your arms again, and the two of you are gonna be celebrating your first wedding anniversary.

And all of Salem is gonna be celebrating Juneteenth. Oh,

who is? Who’s calling? It says potential spam, probably one of those darn telemarketers. I see, I see. Well, I’m gonna go get that delicious dinner for us. You get ready back in

voicemail, Ms. King, this is Police Commissioner Ray Hernandez. I need to speak with you right away about the abduction of Mayor Abe Carver. I understand that you were on duty when it happened, so please call me back at this number as soon as possible. Thank you. All right. I guess we’re just gonna have to wait for her to call us back, or you could visit her in person.

I, uh, I think you’ve made your intentions pretty clear. Remember what you said to me right before I left Seattle that I hoped you come around to realizing that you and I were great together. Hey, see that was a passive statement. I don’t plan to be passive anymore. What do you plan to do? Sweep you off your feet, make you forget all about Johnny Damara and.

All other men, respectfully of course, provided that I’m still in the money. You are. No, you are. Cool. Yeah. So tonight you go ahead and wait for Johnny and his lukewarm takeout. And then when you’re ready for something, a whole lot more appetizing, you know where to find me.

Looks like I’ll get a second chance without homework and a husk after all. No, darling. You can’t. Why not? Because it’s a restaurant full of people downstairs and if you shoot Chanel, they’re gonna hear, they’re gonna call the cops. So strangling my bad hands. Listen to me, okay? We have a chance to get out of here.

If you act impulsive for both women, end up in person. Fuck. Just talk to her. Okay, I’ll There to go away and, and then we can leave. Just like you said, we go far, far away. Okay. Just so can you just, the two of us. Okay. Trust me, I can handle it

fun. Make it quick.

Look, now is not a good time. Okay. Well, too damn bad. You’re gonna make time for what I have to say. Okay, fine. Whatever. Whatever. That’s all you have to say after everything you’ve done to me, girl, please. Okay. Give it a rest already. Excuse me. Are you tired of playing victim all the time. Poor me. I didn’t deserve any of this.

Yeah. Well, the hell you don’t. Okay. You brought all of this on yourself. When you seduced a married man and killed his wife, that is not how it went down. I don’t care what your deranged boyfriend told you. And speaking of Colin, what the hell did he do with Abe? Look, I don’t know what you’re talking about.

Oh yeah, you’re lying. I know he told you. Listen, he hasn’t told me anything. Okay. I haven’t seen or spoken to Colin ever since we got taken to the hospital. Okay. Yeah. And you know who else was in that hospital, Abe, because he had to get brain surgery since your boyfriend bashed him over the head with a rolling pin.

And then after he woke up, Colin kidnapped him. So I need you to tell me where he is. Look, I can’t tell you anything that I don’t know. You know what Colin’s doing is wrong, and that is why you saved my life up on that roof. God, don’t flatter yourself, okay? Your life means nothing. I did it for Colin so he wouldn’t get a murder charge.

As in that’s what you did to his mother. You’re a damn liar. Look, I don’t care what you believe, Chanel okay? But you, you have to leave and you have to leave out. Okay? Leave. Thank you. The hell outta here and don’t come back.

Wow, something smells great. Not half as great as you look.

So where’s your date? Wasn’t he supposed to be here by now? Yeah, he was. I assume he’s on his way. Right? Right. And uh, don’t worry, you know, when he finally shows up late. I’ll make sure I take these delicious tacos into my room and enjoy them all by myself. Right? Or you could cancel on. Cecil be Damara. And he with me.

What, what, what’s, what’s wrong? I think he’s up there. Oh, Colin Bedford, you saw him. No, but I, I saw tall yet, and she claimed to know nothing about Abe, and she said that she hasn’t seen Colin since the two of them went flying off of that roof. But as I was being forced out by her, she. She mouth helped me and she slipped this into my hand.

That’s a police patch, a real one. Holy crap. One Bedford escape from the hospital. He got the jump on. A cop stole his uniform and his gun. That’s it. I’m calling Ray. Here we go. Here we go, darling. Bone appetit. I thought you were making a home cooked meal. Well, this is our home and I cooked it in the microwave.

Now Abraham, you know, I haven’t had the time to go grocery shopping. What with you in the hospital? Fighting for your life? I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I, I thank you. Thank you for this. You are very welcome. Well, you go ahead and dig in. I’m gonna go make the bed so we can turn in right after supper. I, Paul awake.

Oh, what’s wrong? I can’t do that. I can’t go to bed with you.

We have Nurse Whitley’s address. I say we go over there and see what she knows. Oh, who’s driving? I’ll take those. Oh wait. Hold on a second. Johnny Jamira. I better take this. Hey Johnny. What’s up Ray? You need to get down to the pub right away. I’ll, I’m here with Chanel and we think that Colin Bedford is upstairs with Talia.

I’m on my way. What’s going on? Johnny and Chanel, they’re at the pub. They think Talia might be there with Colin. Let’s go.

I told you I could get rid of her. It’s good to see your head back in the game, and I thought you’d gone soft on me

not taking a second chance. Slaughter little right. When he dies down, I’ll sneak back into town and I’ll finish the job off. And little will mama too. Yeah, absolutely. That’s my girl.

Listen, we should probably get going before you went to pack a bag. No, you’re right. I’ll just grab stuff as we go, you know, at a discount store or something. All right then.

Where’s the badge? I put it right there on the table. Where is the badge? I don’t, I don’t know what you’re talking about. Stop lying to me. Stupid little cow. You gave it to Chanel.

It is taking so long. We’re the hell are the cops. Brooke said he was on his way. Okay. Well he needs to hurry. Is that Rafe? No, it’s Wendy. Oh. Oh crap. I totally forgot about her. Uh, Wendy. Hey Johnny. Where are you? I thought you were coming over. I know. Uh, listen, something came up. I’m with Chanel. Chanel? Yes.

We, we ran into each other at the pub and it, I’m, I’m sorry, I gotta go. Oh, thank God you’re here. I bedford’s upstairs with my sister. I think so. Based on what?

Shaw’s badge, that’s the officer they’re calling. Bedford was impersonating. Where’d you get that? Uh, I heard that Talia was released on bail. So I went upstairs to ask if she knew where Abe was and she said no. And then she kicked me out. But as I was leaving, she shoved that badge into my hand and mouth.

Help. We have to get up here. Yeah, stay here.

Everything. Okay? Johnny’s not coming. He’s with Chanel. Oh,

are you okay? Yeah, I’m fine.

And I am suddenly so in the mood for tacos. Awesome.

How come you’re hurting me? This’s is nothing compared to what I’ll do to if you don’t find that badge,

I dunno, maybe felt under the table or something. Just give it up back. Stop you bitch. I know what you’ve done. All right. I mean, I’m gonna make you pay for it. Oh God. Please. It’s over, Colin. Let her go now.

Drop the weapon. Drop it back up.

You are under arrest. No. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney cannot afford. One will be provided for you.

If I hadn’t known Chanel was going to take this long to pick up those burgers, I’d done settled for that hospital garbage. Mm. Pass me that Turkey sandwich, please. Of course. Well, you know how easily distracted kids are these days with their phones. Everything is to this and snap up that, you know? I hope that’s all it is.

And. She hasn’t had another running with that tire. God forbid Colin Bedford, I don’t know how much more trauma my family can take. Hey, I, I, I don’t want you to feel bad about this, but I, I wouldn’t feel comfortable sharing a bed with you and I, I don’t remember who you are. Well, um, this sofa lets out into a bed.

I can set that up for you for the time being. Well, I appreciate that. Oh, of course, sweetheart. And it’s only temporary, right? We have the whole rest of our lives to snuggle together in our marital bed.

Morning. Good morning. Coffee’s ready. Oh, thank you. Oh man. So did you hear from Johnny last night? No, not this morning either. Hmm. That’s strange. I mean, he’s on his way over here with takeout and then he calls you, says he’s with Chanel and then nothing. Hmm. I don’t think he’s still with her. Do you?

Six cups of coffee and high still.

Kristen tells Megan that she has to agree with Dimitri as she is preparing for a custody fight and showing up with her nephew on her arm won’t win her brownie points with the judge. Megan calls them pathetic. Dimitri says there are plenty of fish in the sea. Megan feels most of them are not suitable for him to marry. Megan declares that if they are not keeping it in the family, they have to find someone very special for him to marry. Gwen then walks in and says she’s looking for Dimitri. Dimitri introduces himself as Gwen mentions being the editor in chief of the Spectator. Dimitri takes it that she’s a reporter. Kristen calls Gwen her friend but guesses she’s here on business. Gwen admits she’s here for the scoop on Dimitri as he’s causing quite the stir and she’s sure her readers would love to know more about him. Megan remarks that it seems she has come to the right place. Megan asks Kristen to introduce her to Gwen, so she does. Megan asks how they know each other. Kristen asks if Gwen wants to tell her. Gwen jokes that Kristen blackmailed her into escaping police custody. Kristen responds that she returned the favor by helping Gwen out of a jam or two, including getting her a pardon when they were in prison together. Dimitri asks what brought Gwen to prison. Gwen explains that her sister Abigail was being a bit of trouble and she perceived her to be quite a threat, so she sort of shipped her off to a deserted island but she was eventually rescued and found out that Gwen was responsible. Dimitri guesses that was a trying time for her. Gwen says she will always regret doing that to Abigail but says that’s enough about her. Gwen then asks about Dimitri, saying she’s been following his story and finds it fascinating so she would love to get an interview with him. Dimitri responds that he’s sorry but he’s not interested in doing press but Megan encourages him not to be so hasty.

Jada asks Leo what happened after Colin broke his phone. Leo says he just walked away and he didn’t follow him since he had a gun. Jada asks if there is anything else she should know. Leo swears that’s everything. Jada thanks him for his time. Leo stops her and says he answered all of her questions, so he thinks it’s only fair that she answers some of his questions about her sister, Talia Hunter.

Talia questions Colin taking Abe hostage. Rafe clarifies that they don’t know for sure but it’s a hell of a coincidence. Talia worries that Paulina and Chanel must be freaking out and asks if there are any leads. Rafe responds that Jada is interviewing a potential witness as they speak.

Xander can’t believe Chloe slapped him again. Chloe can’t believe Xander kissed her again and points out that Gwen’s not here to witness so it wasn’t for her benefit. Xander explains that he felt a vibe between them and thought maybe she felt it too but asks if he was wrong. Chloe admits that he was not completely off base. Xander asks if she felt a spark too then. Chloe says maybe and then admits that she did feel it and not just tonight, but ever since they moved in together there has been something between them. Xander is happy that he’s not going mad but asks why Chloe doesn’t seem thrilled since she said she’s moving on from Brady. Chloe acknowledges that she and Brady don’t have a future together, but she hates that she is attracted to Xander.

Belle encourages Talia that Colin’s escape has no bearing on her situation as her bail has been granted so she’s free to go and just needs to be very careful. Talia can’t believe all of this is happening and asks what Colin was thinking. Belle hopes that the police will find him and Abe will come back safe and sound. Talia prays that she’s right and thanks Belle for all of her help. Belle tells Talia not to hesitate to call if she needs anything. Belle then exits the station. Talia asks Rafe if there’s any word but he says not yet. Rafe asks if Talia has any idea where Colin might be going. Talia says no and suggests he could go back to New York but he doesn’t have any friends there to speak of. Rafe tells Talia to think about it and let him know if she comes up with anything. Talia then stops Rafe and says she owes him an apology.

Jada asks what questions Leo has about her sister. Leo asks how things are looking for her since she was arrested for being Colin’s partner in crime. Jada argues that she wasn’t his partner in crime and didn’t kill anyone. Leo points out that Talia did trash Paulina’s office and drug the biscuits so he wouldn’t say her hands are clean in all of this. Jada blames Colin being extremely manipulative. Leo argues that it’s not like Talia didn’t have a choice as Colin didn’t have a gun to her head. Jada responds that it’s easy to say when you’re not being abused. Leo questions if Jada is saying that Talia was trapped in an abusive relationship and if he can quote her on that.

Dimitri says he’s suffering from jet lag so this is the last thing he needs. Megan argues that DiMeras don’t do jet lag and says this isn’t just any reporter since Gwen is a friend of Kristen’s, so she sure she has no agenda. Gwen insists that she just wants to get Dimitri’s story out there as there are already some rumors out there so she’d like to give him a chance to put a stop to them. Dimitri responds that he doesn’t give a damn what people think so they can let the rumor mill churn. Gwen asks if he’s sure that’s wise and he wouldn’t like to think about it. Dimitri thanks Gwen for the opportunity but repeats that his answer is no. Megan asks for a private word with Dimitri, so they step out of the room together. Megan tells Dimitri that he does not want to miss this golden opportunity as it’s not about PR, but about making Gwen the future Mrs. Von Leuschner.

Gwen congratulates Kristen on her immunity deal and calls it very impressive how she keeps pulling rabbits out of her hat. Kristen responds that it’s all thanks to Megan this time. Gwen asks if Kristen has made an ally then. Kristen says maybe. Gwen asks if she doesn’t trust Megan. Kristen says of course not because she’s a DiMera. Gwen remarks that her son is too and he seems a bit feisty. Gwen notes that she’s quite feisty herself too and she’s very determined to get that interview, so she’s going to do everything in her power to make that happen.

Dimitri argues that Megan can’t be serious about wanting him to marry Gwen. Megan points out that he rejected her other idea. Dimitri questions just marrying the first stranger to walk in off the street. Megan feels Gwen is hardly a stranger since she and Kristen were prison mates. Dimitri calls it even worse that she’s a felon. Megan argues that Gwen’s crimes are child’s play compared to what they have done. Dimitri says the point is he should be in love with the person he’s going to marry. Megan says that’s a luxury they don’t have time for, reminding him that if he wants the Von Leuschner fortune then he has to be married by the time he turns 40 which is fast approaching. Megan orders Dimitri to forget about love and to go convince Gwen to marry him as soon as possible.

Jada tells Leo this interview is over. Leo asks if she doesn’t want her sister’s side of the story to be told, especially since she was being abused. Jada says she shouldn’t have told him that. Leo relates it to his father being physically abusive. Jada notes this was more like emotional abuse. Leo says he can relate to that too as his mother was the queen of all sorts of emotional abuse and blackmail. Jada appreciates his empathy, but says she can’t continue this conversation as she needs to focus on finding Abe and Colin. Leo says it’s his journalistic responsibility to print what she has already given him. Jada understands she can’t stop him from printing what he’s going to print, but as someone who has been abused, she would hope he would have some understanding of what Talia is going through. Jada hopes Leo has a heart and keeps her sister’s name out of his column. Jada then exits.

Rafe questions why Talia feels she owes him an apology. Talia reminds him that he went to the hospital because of her and he spent so much time and energy looking for the person responsible. Talia says that if she came forward sooner, things might not have gotten so bad, so she’s really sorry. Rafe appreciates her apology and respects her taking responsibility for her actions. Rafe wishes he could say the same about Colin. Talia says that all this time, she thought Colin was the victim because of what happened to his parents and that’s how she kept rationalizing what he was asking her to do for him. Talia swears that she never thought Colin was this dangerous or that he would hurt anybody. Rafe believes that Colin hid it pretty well. Talia feels really bad that she dragged her sister in to all of this. Talia knows it’s really bad for Jada that she’s caught up in this huge scandal. Rafe encourages that Jada cares about her and loves her which is why she hired the best damn lawyer she could find. Rafe advises Talia to do whatever the hell Belle tells her to do to make it up to Jada.

Belle goes home where she is surprised to see Shawn has returned home. They hug as Belle questions why he didn’t tell her that he was coming home. Shawn says things just sort of happened. Belle questions if Shawn has been drinking. Shawn admits he has but says not nearly enough as he takes another drink of a beer. Belle asks what’s going on and if something happened with his dad. Shawn responds that Bo is still in a coma and nothing has changed. Belle questions why he’s guzzling all of this beer then. Shawn says it’s because he shot his dad and put him in a coma. Belle repeats that it was an accident and everyone knows that, encouraging Shawn to stop torturing himself. Shawn argues that accident or not, Bo is holding on by a thread and Hope is a wreck, doing everything she can to stay positive. Shawn talks about having to see Hope suffering every day, knowing that he can’t help her. Shawn feels he just made things worse and that’s why he came home. Belle insists that Hope doesn’t blame him for what happened. Shawn says maybe not consciously. Shawn adds that after they got Bo situated, he felt it was best to make himself scarce and that’s why he came home. Belle encourages that Bo has a team of world class doctors and maybe they will find a way to bring him back to them. Shawn hopes Megan doesn’t find out where Bo is at because Hope has enough on her plate as it is. Belle then reveals that Megan is actually back in Salem and staying at the DiMera Mansion. Shawn is shocked and declares he’s going to give that bitch a piece of his mind.

Dimitri tells Megan that he knows there’s a time crunch but he’s not turning 40 tomorrow, so he’d like to explore his options. Megan questions what options since he isn’t seeing anyone and his last romantic encounter with Billie Reed was all an act. Dimitri questions Megan not seeing how crazy this is. Megan insists that the inheritance money is rightfully his. Megan adds that she has big plans that require significant funding, so he needs to put a ring on Gwen’s finger. Dimitri questions why Gwen when he’s known her for two minutes. Megan points out that Gwen is successful, smart, and beautiful, asking what more he needs to know. Dimitri mocks the idea of getting married, pointing out that he doesn’t even know if Gwen is single. Megan notes that she didn’t see a ring, so as far as she’s concerned, she’s fair game. Megan then orders Dimitri to get back in there and sweep Gwen off her feet.

Kristen comments on Gwen taking her reporter job very seriously. Gwen feels she has a knack for it and that she got it from her dad. Kristen remarks that it’s too bad she couldn’t bond with Jack over it, considering she did steal the paper from him and Jennifer. Gwen argues that Jack and Jennifer have another paper in Boston and they’re just fine. Kristen asks Gwen how it is working with her ex. Gwen calls that the least enjoyable part, especially considering the fact that he’s insisted on bringing in Chloe. Kristen calls Chloe a third rate singer and notes that her daughter calls Chloe the evil one. Kristen mentions that her daughter told her that Chloe and Xander were playing house together and then she saw them cozying up together yesterday. Gwen says that Xander said nothing romantic is going on between them, but she thinks it’s just a matter of time before they have a romp in the hay. Kristen is relieved that Chloe has finally detached herself from Brady. Kristen says she does feel bad for Gwen, but offers to give her some pro tips if she wants to get back at Chloe, if she wants to get back with Xander. Gwen responds that she appreciates it but that’s literally the last thing she wants. Gwen declares that she’s decided it’s time to hop off the Xander merry go round since it’s not serving her anymore, given his very fickle nature. Gwen states that she needs to put that behind her, move on with her life, and maybe find someone new as Dimitri and Megan return to the room.

Xander doesn’t understand why Chloe would be upset about having feelings for him. Chloe responds that it’s because he’s him. Chloe brings up Xander leaving her in the clutches of a Mexican drug lord, shooting Brady, locking Nicole in a shark cage, and being the clown who kidnapped Susan and Bonnie. Xander asks why Chloe has feelings for him if he’s so bloody awful. Chloe admits that she’s seen another side of him as a human being. Chloe says she could tell he meant it when he expressed his remorse over Susan’s death. Chloe guesses he does have a heart, acknowledging that he went to bat for her with Gwen, got her a job, and has been really kind to her including making dinner. Xander asks if Chloe is saying she might actually like him after all. Xander suggests she stop fighting her feelings and just give in to what her heart desires. Chloe calls it a really bad idea, noting that they live together and they work together so it could get really complicated really fast. Xander argues that they don’t have to commit to anything and just take it day by day to see where it goes, especially since she’s still getting over Brady. Chloe asks if Xander is really over Sarah. Xander assures that he is, noting that he still has feelings for her but he knows that ship has sailed. Chloe realizes she’s been involved with half of Xander’s relatives; Brady, Philip, Deimos, and Daniel, joking that she should swear off all Kiriakis men since it never seems to work out. Xander says he’s the best of the bunch and she’s never been with him. Xander encourages Chloe and suggest they kiss again to see how she feels. Chloe asks if he wants to risk getting slapped again. Xander says he’s willing to take his chance as they kiss.

Leo works on typing up his article about Colin and Talia, saying the readers may think they know everything about their tale of revenge but he has uncovered their latest and juiciest details yet. Leo types up Talia being a victim of emotional abuse at the hands of Colin and calls it a twisted relationship. Leo then decides he hates having a conscience and deletes what he typed.

Jada goes to the police station and tells Talia that she’s so happy that she made bail. Talia mentions hearing about Colin and asks if Leo was any help. Jada says not really and informs Rafe that when Leo ran in to Colin, he was still wearing the cop uniform and there was no sign of Abe. Rafe guesses they are back to square one. Talia tells them that she’s so sorry. Jada tells her not to worry as they won’t stop until they find them. Talia asks if there is anything she can do to help. Rafe advises her to go lock her door and let the police handle this. Jada agrees, noting that Colin is probably very upset about Talia turning on him, so she needs to be very careful. Rafe decides that he will have an officer give her a ride home, so she thanks him. Jada instructs Talia to call her right away if she hears anything from Colin as she hugs her.

Megan apologizes for the delay and announces that Dimitri has decided to do Gwen’s interview, which he confirms. Dimitri repeats that he is worn out from his travels, so he wants to schedule it for another time which Gwen agrees to. Megan suggests they chat over dinner tomorrow. Gwen asks to do it over lunch as she’s anxious to get the story out. Megan says they will get her contact information from Kristen and settle on the details. Gwen says she looks forward to hearing Dimitri’s story. Megan is so glad this worked out and says something tells her this lunch will be an exciting opportunity for both of them.

Belle stops Shawn and demands he give her his keys because he’s in no condition to drive and confronting Megan won’t change anything. Shawn argues that his dad is fighting for his life because of that bitch since she messed with his head and she deserves to have to answer for that. Belle says there is nothing they can do right now, so Shawn reluctantly hands over his keys. Shawn supposes as much as he would like to, he can’t place the blame squarely on Megan’s shoulders because he’s the one that pulled the trigger. Belle asks Shawn to stop drinking and come to bed. Shawn points out that he has two beers left. Belle thinks he would feel better if he got some sleep but Shawn refuses and asks her to leave him the hell alone.

After kissing, Chloe tells Xander that it was nice. Xander jokes that he hoped for more but Chloe says he’ll have to settle for nice for now. Xander says at least he didn’t get slapped this time, so that’s progress. Chloe tells him not to push it, so Xander says he won’t kiss her again even though he really wants to. Xander asks Chloe what they should do now. Chloe suggests getting back to their dinner.

Shawn apologizes to Belle for snapping at her, but says he just wants to be left alone. Belle argues that he’s drunk and not thinking straight, so the last thing he needs is to be alone. Shawn insists that he’s fine and she’s got his keys so he’s not going anywhere. Shawn tells Belle to just go to bed. Belle says she will wait up for him and that she loves him as she then heads to the bedroom.

Megan asks Kristen for any ideas on where Dimitri and Gwen can meet for lunch tomorrow. Kristen senses Megan believes that she found Dimitri a wife. Megan confirms that she believes Gwen will be a suitable means to an end. Kristen mocks that being romantic. Megan declares that what’s most important to them is that Dimitri inherits what is rightfully his and if it turns out to be a love match, so much the better.

Gwen returns home to the Salem Inn where Leo asks how it went with Dimitri. Gwen responds that he offered to give her an exclusive interview at lunch tomorrow. Leo asks how she managed to score such a hot story. Gwen guesses it was her magic. Leo laments that he’s got nothing for his column, pointing out that he had something great but someone had to go and guilt him out of it.

Jada asks Rafe why she would say anything to Leo, much less that Talia is in an abusive relationship. Rafe understands Leo is relentless and Jada was obviously upset. Jada worries that Leo is going to print every word that she said. Rafe encourages that if it ends up in his column, they will deal with it. Jada thanks him. Rafe says if she wants to go be with her sister, he will understand. Jada says she will go later but right now, the best way to help Talia is to find Colin, otherwise Talia could go down for everything that Colin made her do. Rafe promises that is not going to happen.

Talia returns home to her room and locks the door. Talia comments that she could use a long, hot shower. Talia then finds the police badge from the uniform that Colin stole, on the floor of her room. Talia then tries to run but is grabbed from behind.

Sloan was upset about what happened with Colin. Jada showed up at her place with a warrant. The women start arguing. Sloan told her to go on with the search. She was dealing with enough since Nicole was pregnant. Jada was shocked. Sloan told her that Eric might have got Nicole pregnant. She blamed Talia for drugging the biscuits.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Congratulations on your first day at your brand new.

Did it not go well? Oh no. It went great. So great that I quit. All because of your partner, Gwen.

Start date ASAP requirements. Don’t be Chloe Lane. 20. I need your help. I’m in trouble. Big trouble. What is it now, Marty? It’s a nightmare is what it is. There’s a cycle on Halluc. He’s got me the sights. Guess I surprised you, mother. I’m telling him. Boy. Yes you did. You don’t call, you don’t write. Oh, but look, what’s important is that you’re here now in the family home where you belong.

Yet another prodigal son, just what the family needed. This isn’t some sick competition, okay? This is about a child, a life. And I need you to, to be kind to each other and to me, because it, it breaks my heart at the one thing that I have longed for for so long. Something that is a, a blessing and a miracle ends up being fraught and painful.

I need you to help me through this, okay. Whatever the results are, whoever the father is. Can you do that for me please? Ah, Nicole. I have your results.

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

Can we go somewhere private please? I would love to, but I am the middle of dealing with an emergency. Does it have something to do with Colin Jeffrey? Well, it’s about a lot more than that. Abe disappeared this morning, too. Disappeared right out of his recovery room, and the precinct of the two of those things are probably connected.

Oh, where are you Colin? What are you up to now?

Colin, open up at the police.

What do you want? Yes, a warrant. Seriously, do you actually think I would be dumb enough to hide my brother at my own apartment? Maybe not, but if you are helping him, there may be evidence in here somewhere if I were helping him, which I’m not. I wouldn’t also be dumb enough to be leading clothes lying around.

Right.

You know, the department might be better off recruiting some officers who aren’t so easily overpowered by a guy who just fell off a roof. You’ll listen to me, Ms. Peterson. The mayor is missing and your brother might have him, and if you have the slightest idea of where he is, I suggest that you tell me now because I promise you things will not go well for your brother or you.

Could you be a bit more specific? This town is full of psychos. Hello? The one who tried to murder the mayor, not to mention his wife and daughter. Colin Bedford is out to get you. That makes no sense. Uh, you could try showing a little more concern if for no other reason than I’m covering half the rent. I just think you’re being a bit paranoid.

Oh, you’ve never heard the expression. Just because you’re paranoid does not mean they’re not out to get you. Okay, darling, why is Colin out to get you? Oh, thank you for asking. Finally, so here’s what happened. I lost my phone in the park, so I started to panic thinking about how my mentions must be piling up.

So I flagged down this super hot cop to help and it turned out to be him. Colin Bedford pose as a police officer. Yeah. And now he knows that I know that he’s no cop and he wants me dead. How long do you think it is until he shows up at the door?

So tell me. What took you so long to show up here? Yeah. Blame the tired antics of the US government. Let’s just say that they were less than thrilled to grant us our immunity in exchange for the turn of Shane Donovan’s son. So they made sure to make my customs process a rather arduous one. Well, I am just glad that you’re here now, finally, where you belong.

Mm-hmm. Now you remember your aunt Kristin? Oh yes. How could I forget yet? Last time I saw you? My quest for some precious jewels wound up putting my own jewels in quite an unnerving jeopardy, whatever are you talking about? You don’t recall our encounter in Amsterdam? You pointed a gun at my crotch. Oh man.

Yeah. Yeah, that, yeah. Well, I didn’t know you were my nephew at the time, huh? I thought you were some pesky. I s a agent in the thro of Inci Billy Reid. Okay. Enough. Hmm. Let us just let bygones be bygones, shall we? Especially a few two are going to be married. What? What?

I don’t get it. What? Why exactly did you quit your job at the newspaper? Two words. Too many letters. SWE rises in check. All right. What did she do? What didn’t she do? That bitch rolled out the unwelcome mat in so many awful ways. I lost count. Do you know where my office was? Wasn’t on the executive floor?

No, it was in the broom closet. She literally put an old desk in the closet with a landline and a dialup modem. Come on. There’s no way that true that you’re exaggerating. I, I wish I was. And then she was texting me every 45 minutes with some new unreachable sales goal. Maybe she was trying to motivate you.

Oh, come on, sander. She was setting me up to fail. Oh, listen, I know that you stuck your neck out for me for this job. I’m not gonna put up the crap like that from anyone. Don’t be sorry. I I should be sorry. I had no idea she’s gonna treat you like this. Well, you tried. Yeah, I did. I think the problem is you did not.

I’m sorry. What? Please don’t quit. Not yet. Why the hell not? Isn’t it obvious if you quit? Gwen Wenner.

Come on, Mattie. Nobody’s coming here to murder you. Well, another cockeyed optimist. You are Colin Bedford is on the run from the law, or the least of his problems matter if I go yapping to the police about my encounter with him, which obviously he doesn’t want. Hence he’d prefer me to be pushing up daisies.

Come now. What could you possibly tell the police that they don’t already know? I cannot believe you were being so bla about this. The guy is legit scary Gwenny, not to mention blazing hot, especially once he dropped the cop act and started talking in his real accent and a little smile, huh? So charming.

Honestly, I do feel like there was some chemistry between us. See, look at that. He probably thinks you’re hot too. If there was chemistry, you’ve got nothing to worry about. Just focus on something else. Like what? Light your next column. I am not writing about that. Limey. Hunk, if that’s what you mean.

Offering to tell his story is what got him riled up in the first place. Right. I get that. No, um. Actually, I need you to find me some dirt on somebody else.

Mother, I’ve been in America for less than an hour and you’re already trying to marry me off. To my Aunt Mel. Yes. Yes. And you. And you make this outrageous suggestion without consulting me first because I was confident that you go along with it. Look, you too aren’t related by blood, as you well know. And this is hardly breaking new dira grounds.

Didn’t my father raise you to be my brother? Tony’s intended. Yeah. Well that was a long time ago and hardly something I am proud of. Uh, but it was father’s wish and so you saw the wisdom in it, and I see we still do now. I raised my glass to the upcoming NEP tools. Of two superior human beings

outta curiosity. Has a Salem PD ever heard of conflict of interest? Let’s not forget you have family mixed up in this mess too, detective. My sister would’ve had nothing to do with this if it hadn’t been for your lunatic brother and his dry for revenge. Of course, your sister’s the innocent victim, even though she’s the one who’s actually committing the crimes that my brother’s being accused of.

Just finish your search and get out of here already. Okay. I. God, I fed enough in my mind with my boyfriend’s ex being pregnant. Excuse me. Oh, you didn’t know. Yeah. Nicole knocked up. And, um, since you’re bound to ask this, I’ll just save you the time. The baby might be Eric’s,

are you okay? Yeah, it’s just. It’s Abe. I know, I know. Maybe you should. We’re gonna find him, Nicole. I’ll get on the phone right now and I volunteer. Damir is security Force to helping the search. Thank you. Are, are there any leads as to where Abe went? Not yet. Um, listen, I need to go to my office today. Head at the hospital is waiting for an update.

Okay. Well we understand. Okay. I am, I’m if you need me. Thank you, Kayla, for running the test, Uhhuh.

This is, I know exactly who this piece of buttered toast is. Formerly hunky all-American ISA agent Kyle Graham, well still hunky, but now Dimitri von Roiner’s his name and blowing up the world is his game. Did you say he’s not dangerous? Okay, I might, but that’s just because it’s such a good story. So what is this supposed to be?

Some sort of jailhouse interview? Ah, you are a bit behind on the news, aren’t you, darling? No. Not only is Dimitri free as a bird, turns out he’s also got some deeper roots in this town. What kind of roots? Rotten ones. Our little handsome Dimitri here is a Demara, another one of Stefano’s bastards. Mm. Close Megan Hathaway’s son.

Ah, there’s a twist on a twist. Mm-hmm. And my sources say that his plane has just landed in Salem Evil family reunion. That’s what I want you to find out. Why is he here and what does he want? Sounds great. Lady gb, you’re have to get someone else to cover it. I’ve already got one psycho killer after me. I sure shoot and don’t need another one.

Yeah, sure. We’re aware that we’re not blood related, but we’re also not a good math. Yeah. And to put it mildly, this is especially not our age difference. Ah, watch it. And also other. General Incompatibilities, hang on, come on. I think you two could be highly compatible if you gave it a shot. You’re both extremely bright.

Mm-hmm. Charming. Mm-hmm. Charismatic. Put that aside. I propose that you propose Dimitri for practical reasons and I propose that you explain what the hell that means. Well, I have recently been made aware of the fact that there’s a very sizable amount of Von ROI money that Dimitri is in line to collect.

There are strings. There always are. Okay, and what are the strings? The trust specifies that he must be married by the time he turns 40. And how old are you now? 39 and three quarters. Mother. Why have I never heard of this? Trust? I’ll wait for the same reason I haven’t until now. There are some members of your extended family who are hoping that you won’t make the deadline, but the money is yours provided you act.

And how much money are we talking here? More than enough to kickstart our plans. Plans. Oh, that’s right. You weren’t here. Kristen and I want to take over the world. I assume you’re in

Eric and Nicole. They’re not even seeing each other. And Nicole’s dating edit Damara last I heard. She is. So if Nicole is pregnant with Eric’s baby, You can blame your sister for that one. What does my sister have to do with this? She’s the one that spiked those biscuits seems. Nicole and Eric got their hands on a couple and while under the influence got all about ej me birth control.

I see all that’s unfortunate for everyone involved. Yeah, it’s true. I mean, it must bring up some painful memories for you too. I mean, you and Eric. You would still be together. You hadn’t gotten that abortion. You guys could be singing Sweet Little Lullabies, little Eric or Erica Jr. Instead, he might finally get to be a father with someone else.

If you wanna wait to open that until we get news about hey. But I totally understand. Oh, okay. The FO sympathy. You want answers just as much as I do. Better to get this over and done with now, and once we have the answer, you can concentrate on bringing home your dear friend. Sure. Because it’s all about Abe Bright, ej.

You sick and tired of him hanging around, buzzing in your ear with all his sanc. Please, both of you just let me do this.

Well, what does it say,

Eric? It says that. You’re not a match. I knew it. I knew it. The child is mine. Old darling. It’s a miracle. Nothing less. Oh, we can give it a gift.

Congratulations. Oh, Eric, I’m sure of this. Stevens a bit, but in the long run it’s what’s best for everyone involved. We don’t have to go through the awkwardness of you and Nicole raising a child together while her and I in a relationship, and your girlfriend has spared the pain of you fathering a child with another woman.

In a sense, everyone to win it today. I guess that’s it. I wish you best of luck with everything. Thank you,

Dolly. This is a gift. It changes everything. It does.

See, told you you wouldn’t find anything.

Oh, look at there. No people, no clues, no breadcrumbs. Just me. If you feel like grilling somebody though, you could check in with Leo Stark. Why would I question Stark? Well, because he said he ran into my brother earlier today. What? Why didn’t you tell me that when I got here? Hmm. Oh, because it’s not my job to help you do your job.

You withheld vital information in an ongoing case. You wanna arrest me as an accessory? Go ahead. I would love nothing more than to sue you in the department for false arrest,

not.

Look, I know Gwen can be difficult at times, but please don’t close the door on this opportunity. You said yourself, the spectator could be the perfect fit for you. There’s nothing perfect about working with that witch. Ah, I know, but she’s only bullying you because she didn’t get away. You mean because she doesn’t like that I’m living here with you.

Whatever the reason. I know you can overcome this. You’re not afraid of bullies, aren’t you? Hell no. I’ve been standing up to them since I was in high school. There you go. So, you know, the only way to beat a bully is to prove to them that you can’t be pushed around, that they’re not gonna break you, not get bored and move on to the next target.

So, I’m just supposed to be miserable until she’s bored with me. Yes. Perfect. Exactly. But I, I’ll be there to minimize the misery or fight every indignity. She throws you away. And I just need you to fight too. I know you’ve got it in you. Oh, maybe I don’t wanna fight. Maybe I’m just tired, Chloe. It has only been one day.

Yeah, tomorrow’s gonna be the same way. And then the next day and the next day and the next day. Why should I subject myself to that? Do it for me.

Stay in the job for you. Look, Gwen and I are locked in a battle of Will and if you leave, I’ll be on my own against that woman. That woman who you used to love. Yeah. Well now she lives to antagonize me in it. But if you quit, she’s gonna use that as proof that I was wrong about you and everything else and she’ll never stop lording it over me.

I do believe that, Hmm. I mean, from here on out, it’ll just be one battle after another and unrelenting slog of bickering. And also, he’s gonna turn me into the most miserable roommate. You’ll come home every day to a darkened apartment and a brooding Scotsman just staring off into the distance, contemplating how his life turned into such a hot mess.

Mm-hmm. That does sound tragic. How could you possibly do that to me after everything we’ve been through, getting these pictures up on the walls? Okay, stop it. You had me at brooding Scotsman, so you will stick at it. You’ll stay at the job. I’ll give it another try. You won’t regret it, I promise. Mm, we’ll see about that.

In the meantime, pour us a couple glasses of that. Oh, forget the champagne. Let’s go out and celebrate. I’ll tell you wherever you wanna go. Oh, honestly, I’m not really in the mood. I’d rather just stay and put my feet up and watch a movie. Can we just order delivery? Absolutely not. You’re sacrificing yourself for my sanity.

You deserve better. I’m gonna prepare a feast now. I’m not named Cook for nothing. Hey, he’s got jokes for first a toast. To your ultimate victory in Gwen’s inevitable defeat.

Can’t believe the great lady whistleblower would pass on such a juicy story. And I can’t believe that you’ve forgotten how I’m the one who switched the emerald on that. A manian peacock, that va lo MiiR, whatever the hell his name is, needed to Doctor Evil the world. Well, that’s why I think your histories makes you so uniquely suited for this job, except that the guy probably wants me dead for foiling, his plants.

I don’t need another psycho when he put my head on the wall. Very well. We just have to find somebody else then to cover the greatest and largest story of the year somebody else can buy for the Pulitzer. Pulitzer. Yeah. Book deal. You know, you write a story like this, an article like this, and you get a podcast or bestseller or hit series.

I do love crime shows. Mm. Yeah. This is, uh, All the elements here for a great breakaway hit, money, power, hot, untrustworthy guy. You know, I’m actually thinking this could be seven figure deal, seven figures. That’s one with six zeros after. Hmm. At least, but it’s okay. I understand your trepidation. I wouldn’t wanna put you in any danger, so just pretend I didn’t say anything.

Well, let’s not be hasty. I, I do know how to keep myself safer on dangerous men. Are you saying you’re interested, interested? No, I, well, I mean, no. Still No. What good is all that money? If you’re too dead to spend it, find someone else to cover it, that’s fine. You want something bloody done. You have to just do it yourself, don’t you?

You’re gonna write it. You’re dare write. I’m gonna write it. And you know what? If something does come out of this, don’t you dare expect me to share the half with you, Mr. Leo Lion hearted, who’s obviously not. Lock the doors. Now you dunno who’s gonna come calling. Do you?

So this is what you meant by having a plan to finance our mutual ambitions. Exactly. If we keep it in the family, if you will, then we can get the money quickly. And that would save us time having to find a suitable mate for Dimitri and avoiding the risk that she’ll turn out to be a gold digger. Mm, yes.

Much better for me to marry someone’s steady and trustworthy like Auntie Christian. Oh, and look who’s talking Agent Graham. All right, you too. No sniping. Opportunity is knocking and we must answer.

Did you bring the SWAT team with you this time? Hey Eric? Yeah. Any news about your brother and did they find him? No. No, but you did just miss Detective Jada and her search warrant, complete waste of time, obviously, since they didn’t find anything. Right. You heard about Abe? Yeah. You don’t think, no. No. Oh, look, Colin is desperate.

He’s, he’s not a monster. He’s also not stupid enough to put a big target on his back like that. How did you hear about it? Is it, is it on the news? No, not yet. I was, I was at the hospital and Kayla told me, oh, what were you doing at the hospital? Nicole got her results from the DNA test, and I’m not there.

Am I? Oh, you don’t have to pretend you aren’t happy,

Bob. I can’t deny that’s what I was hoping to hear, but I know how much you wanna be a father, and I see you’re hurting. It’s not the right time’s. Probably for the best. Right.

What’s happening, what’s truly happening? We’re having a baby together. I know this sounds strange, but I, I felt it all along that this was meant to be.

So, um, do we share the news or do we keep this to ourselves? Um, I, I think. I think we should wait. Are you worried about your history? I don’t wanna be negative, and I also, I don’t wanna forget that there’s a chance, I mean, a really good chance that I can’t carry this baby to term.

I understand we’ve dealt with this disappointment twice before. But don’t let the past dictate the future. We have to remain positive and the first step is to get you the best care possible and there is no time to waste.

All right. No time to waste. Come and get it while it’s hot.

Egg sandwiches. Well, the one thing I really do know how to make well is a traditional Scottish breakfast, so I made a kinda like dinnertime version of it. So before you have drops cones, we have eggs with crowdy cheese and a weeper a ham. And you’ll be glad to know I spare you the haggas. So here’s some sausages instead.

Hmm. I don’t understand half of what you just said, but it sounds impressive. Well, please withhold judgment until after you’ve tried it, but go ahead.

Okay. There’s a lot of pressure with you watching me right now. Oh, sorry. How does this help? Ooh, okay.

I’m actually really good. Yeah? Mm-hmm. That’s really good. You got some skills, Mr. Cook. Well, I will say that it does pair rather nicely with the champagne. I am sure it does. You know the French stole the idea for champagne from Scott’s Champagne. There’s no way that that’s true. It’s absolutely true. No.

Scottish people invented all kinds of tasty things like hamburgers and pizza. Okay. You were literally just making things up right Now. Why would I do that? I am not a liar. Chloe Le. No Scottish people. Well, very famous inventors. We invented hoverboards. We invented zippers. We invented kissing. Kissing the Scott’s invented kissing.

Well, maybe we didn’t invent it, but we certainly perfected it.

Wow. Do I hear wedding bells? I have already picked out the most gorgeous mother of the groom dress. I gotta hand it to you, mom. You certainly thought this all through. But my answer is no. Kristen. Oh Shirley. You are smart enough to make the right choice and persuade your nephew that this is the best strategy that we have.

Ah, sorry, megs, I’m gonna side with your boy on this. I’m gearing up for a custody fight and showing up in court with my nephew on my arm is not gonna win me brownie points with the judge. Pathetic. A relaxed mother. Plenty of fish in the seat. Yes, and most of them are not suitable for you to marry. If we are not keeping it in the family.

We have to find someone very special for you, Dimitri. Woohoo. Anyone home? The door is open. I’m looking for Dimitri. Yvonne Ner.

I suppose it wouldn’t be so bad to get up close and personal with that. Uh, funny. You were homosexual instead of homicidal. Oh my god, what’s the other homicidal maniac?

Open up. It’s a belief. Yeah. Yeah, I know. What can I do for you, detective? I understand you had a run in with Colin Bedford. Uh, yes I did. It was very brief. Still a little chat, all small talk. I don’t know anything, I swear. Oh, I think you do. And you’re going to tell me everything about the encounter from start to finish.

Unless you’d like to spend the night in Joseph,

I’ll be putting out a statement about the Colin Bedford possible involvement in Abe carver’s disappearance in about an hour. But until then, if there’s any press inquiries, please refer them to the administrator’s office. Uh oh. Okay. That’s great. Thanks so much. Come in Dr. Johnson. Uh, a moment. Um, sure.

Nicole. Hi. How are you doing? She is doing wonderfully well. We both are. Now that we’ve gotten the news, we’re hoping for. Oh, well, I’m glad that’s the case. Please. Uh, have a seat. Go ahead. How can I help? Uh, well, uh, we were concerned about my medical history. You know, if I can carry the baby to term, and as you know, the scar tissue on my uterus has created issues.

Well, I know you’ve had your struggles. Perhaps there have been some advances in treatment since the last time she was pregnant. Anything that could help boost our chances. Well, I’m not a fertility doctor obviously, but I can certainly give you a referral. Excellent, excellent. And, uh, we will remain optimistic and hopeful.

As you should. Well Nicole, I need to go make a statement to the board about, uh, the Abe situation, but I wanna talk to you, um, and I will be getting you guys that specialist phone number. Okay? Thank you.

I’m in your corner.

See you later.

I promise you this, I will move heaven and earth to get us a successful outcome. You will bring this baby, our baby to turn.

I’ll pray for that. I love you, Nicole.

I,

I

speaking that I’m here with you and I just.

I look forward to our future together.

I love you. I love you.

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

You.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

It’s actually really good. Yeah. Mm-hmm. You got some mad skills, Mr. Cook? Well, if I say so myself, it does pair rather nicely with the champagne. I’m sure it does. You know the French stole the idea for champagne from the Scotts Champagne. There’s no way That’s true. It’s absolutely true. Ah, Scottish people invented all kinds of tasty things.

We invented hamburgers, pizza, okay, you’re literally just making things up. Now. Why would I do that? Scottish or famous inventor as, what else did we come up with there? Zippers, hoverboards. Kissing. Kissing. The Scott’s invented. Kissing. Well, maybe we just. Perfecting it.

Oh, I’m just glad this time you didn’t slap me,

yo. I just wanna make sure that all units know unequivocally, this is our top priority. It’s all hands on deck situation. Okay, well keep me posted.

Oh, well, how’d the arraignment go? I may bail. Yeah. Good. Yeah. Well, your sister will be relieved. Yeah. Well, it helped that Talia expressed great remorse for her actions, and I assured the judge that she will testify against Colin. Right. Well, unfortunately that will all be moot if we can’t find him. What do you mean if you can’t find him?

Call and escaped.

Wait. You can’t just put me in jail. I’m an innocent civilian. I didn’t do anything wrong. You had contact with a known fugitive and you failed to report him to the police. I was scared. Okay. I was shook. Look, look at what he did to my phone. I was worried he would do the same thing to me if I ratted him out to the fuzz.

You sure you weren’t keeping quiet so you could write about this in your column? You know, clout chasing as they say. What? No, no, I wasn’t chasing any clout. Detective, please do not put me in jail. I am not suited for it. It won’t come to that Leo just so long as you tell me every detail about your encounter with Colin Bedford.

Thank you. Yes, I am more than happy to help, but is there any way you can leave my name out of it? I do not need another target on my back. Another one. Believe it or not, Colin Bedford is not the only evil European dreamboat who might be out to get me. A couple of summers ago, I incurred the wrath of one of Salem’s, shall we say, newer bad boys, Dimitri Von Weisner.

Sorry, me. I’m gonna have to side with your boy on this. I’m gearing up for a custody fight and showing up in court with my nephew on my arm is not likely to win many brownie points with the judge. Pathetic. Oh, relaxed mother. Plenty of fish in the sea. Yes, but most of them are not suitable for you to marry Dimitri.

If we’re not gonna keep it in the family, then we have to be very careful finding you an incredibly special woman to marry. Yahoo. Anyone home The door was open. I’m looking for Dimitri Vonner. I’m Dimitri. And you might be Gwen first check editor in chief at the Spectator. Ah-ha. So you’re a reporter. Mm.

And also my friend, but I take it you’re here on business. Yes, I am. I’m, um, actually hoping to get the scoop on your nephew. He’s, uh, was in quite the stir and um, I’m sure that our loyal readers would love to know a bit more about Mr. Tall, dark, and Handsome. Well then it seems that you’ve come to the right place.

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

sister. Hmm? You have yet to introduce me to your charming friend here. Oh. Oh. Well forgive me. Um, Gwen, this is my sister, Megan Damara. Megan Gwen, pleasure to meet you. Likewise. So how do you two know each other? Um, but you like to tell her or shall I? Oh dear. Um, well, Uh, Kristen blackmailed me into helping her escape police custody.

Such a good friend, good friend that I am. I returned the favor helping Gwen out of a jammer too, including obtaining her, pardon when we were at Statesville together, which I am still very grateful for. And, uh, forgive me if I’m being too intrusive, but what brought you to prison?

Well, um, my sister Abigail, your Uncle Chad’s. Deceased wife was being a bit of trouble, and I mean that with absolutely no disrespect at all. She was a wonderful woman. I still grew her loss actually, but being at a very vulnerable time and place in my life, I perceived her to be quite a threat. Um, so sort of shipped her off to a deserted island,

but, um, she was eventually rescued, wasn’t she? Um, yeah, but when she found out that I was responsible for shipping her to said island, well, you get the picture. Sure. Yeah. It sounds like, um, Well, it sounds like it was a trying time for you. Yeah, it was more trying for Abigail actually. It’s something I will always regret doing to her, but anyway, enough about me.

How about you? I have been following your story, Dimitri. I find it quite fascinating and I would really love to get an interview with you. Sorry. But I’m not interested in doing press.

Let’s not be so hasty.

What happened after he destroyed your phone? He just walked away. The creep. Do you remember in which direction? West? No, east up left. I’m, I’m directionally challenged. Needless to say, I didn’t follow him since he was the one with the gun. Okay. Uh, is there anything else that I should know? That’s everything.

I swear you’re well then. Thank you for your time, Mr. Stark. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait, wait, wait. I answered all of your questions. So, in the interest of reciprocity, I think it’s only fair, you answered some of mine bad. What? Your sister, Talia Hunter.

Wait, Colin took the mayor hostage. Well, we don’t know that for sure, but it’s, it’s a hell of a coincidence. This is all . Yeah. I mean, Chanel and Paulina must be so freaked out. Are there any leads, Jane’s questioning a potential witness as we speak?

Just when I’m starting to forget what that felt like. I can’t believe you slapped me again and I can’t believe you kissed me again. And Gwen’s not even here to witness it. So it’s not for her benefit. No, it wasn’t. It was for your benefit. For mine, I meant for our benefit wasn’t a performance. I meant it.

I, oh, no, Chloe, I just, I’ve been feeling kind of a vibe between us and I thought you were feeling it too. Was I wrong

actually, if I’m being honest, you weren’t completely off base.

So I, I wasn’t imagining it. You, you did feel a spark too, right? Maybe.

Okay. Yes. I, I did feel it. And not just tonight. Ever since you and I moved in here together, I’ve sensed that there’s, you know, something between us. Yeah. See, I’m just happy to know. I’m not going mad. You don’t seem too thrilled. It’s because I’m not Well, why is that? I mean, I mean, you said you were moving on from Brady and that that ship has sailed, so That’s true.

Brady and I don’t have a future together. What’s the problem? The problem is, ugh. I hate that I’m attracted to you.

Listen, Talia, I just want you to know that Colin’s escape has absolutely no bearing on your situation. Okay? Your bail’s been granted and you’re free to go. You just need to be very careful. Yeah. I just can’t believe all this is happening. Like what was Colin thinking? Hopefully the police will find him and they will come back.

Safe and sound. Pray to God that you’re right. Listen, I, I have to go home, but, um, do you have any questions? No, seriously, just thank you so much for all of your help. Yeah, of course. You have my number. Don’t hesitate to call me if you need anything. Okay.

Anywhere? No, not yet. So you don’t have any idea where Colin might have gone? No. I, I mean, I suppose he might be going back to New York, but then again he doesn’t have many friends there to speak up. Right. Okay. Well, you think on it, if anything comes to mind, he let me know, right? Yeah, of course. All right.

Wait, before you leave, um, I owe you an apology.

What questions do you have about my sister? Well, how are things looking for her? I do know she was arrested for being Colin Bedford’s partner in crime. She wasn’t his partner. No. From what I hear, they were regular Bonnie and Clyde, and I don’t mean Lockhart in Weston. Or maybe I do. Those who both did go to prison for killing people.

My sister didn’t kill anyone, but she did trash Paulina’s office and drug those biscuits. I wouldn’t say her hands are exactly clean in all this. Well, that’s because Colin was extremely manipulative and she was naive. She didn’t know. Well, it’s not like she didn’t have a choice. You didn’t have a gun to her head.

Well, that’s easy to say if you’re not being abused. Okay. Are you saying Talia was trapped in an abusive relationship? Can I quote you on that?

Mother, please. I’m suffering from some serious jet lag, and the last thing I need right now is to be grilled by the fourth estate jet lag to meet Tri Dira. We do jet lag. After all. This isn’t just any reporter, Ms. Rice, check risk check. Yes, that’s what I said. Is a friend of your aunt, I’m sure she doesn’t have a malicious agenda.

No. No, of course not. Honestly, I, I just want to get your story out there and there are already some quite, uh, uncharitable rumors floating about. I would just like to give you the opportunity to clear them up. Okay. Well, the thing is, I don’t give a damn what people think. So let the rumor mill churn. Are you sure that’s wise?

Would you like to just give it a thing? Thank you so much for the opportunity, but my answer is no. My son. Can we please have a private word together

if we must?

We.

Listen to me, Dimitri, you do not want to miss this golden opportunity. What do we hear, what people say about us? This is not about pr. This is about making that reporter the future. Mrs. Von Leischner.

Congratulations on your immunity deal, Kristin. Very impressive. How you managed to keep pulling rabbits out of your hat. Ah, well, I am no magician. It’s, oh, thanks to my sister this time. So you made an ally, have you? Mm-hmm. Maybe you don’t trust her. Of course not. She is a dememer. Yes, as is her son.

Obviously. He seems to be feisty. I guess that’s a word for it. Yeah. Well, I’m quite feisty myself too, if you haven’t noticed, and, uh, I’m very determined to get that interview. I’m going to do everything in my power to make that happen.

You can be serious. You want me to marry that? That rice checks woman Riz check. And you rejected my other idea. So, because I won’t marry my own aunt, now I have to marry the next stranger that walks in off the street. She’s hardly a stranger. She and your aunt were prison mates. So she’s a fall mother.

This is, this is even worse, Dolly. Her crimes are child’s play compared to what you and I have done. That is not the point. The point is, oh, wouldn’t you want me to be. In love with the person I’m going to marry. That is a luxury that we don’t have time for. If you want to inherit the enlo or forcing, you have to be married by the time you are 40, which is fast approaching.

So forget about love and go in there and convince Lois Lane to marry you as soon as possible. I’m sorry, Lois Lane, but this interview is over. Actually, I’m more of a Clark Kent. Okay, fine. Maybe I am a Lois Lane. Well, besides, don’t you want your sister’s side of the story to be told, especially since you know she was being abused?

I shouldn’t have told you that. Look, I get it. I know people don’t like talking about that stuff, but I can relate. My father was physically abusive. Well, this was more like emotional abuse. See, I can relate to that too. My mother was the queen concert of all forms of emotional manipulation in blackmail.

If you ask me or my therapist, a woman should wear a crown. Look, I, I appreciate your empathy, Leo. I do. But I can’t continue this conversation with you right now. I need to focus on finding Mayor Carver and Mr. Bedford. Sure. Of course. And I don’t mean to sound insensitive, but I do have a journalistic responsibility to print what you’ve already given me.

I understand I can’t stop you from printing what you’re going to print, but as someone who’s been abused yourself, I would hope that you would have some idea of what my sister is going through, so hopefully there’s a, a heart in there somewhere and you keep my sister’s name out of your call.

And why do you feel it’s, you owe me in apology? I don’t know. I mean, for one, you went to the hospital because of me. Hmm. And I don’t know, you just, you spent so much time and energy looking for the person responsible. And if I would’ve just said something sooner, you know, if, if minute my guilt, things wouldn’t have gotten as bad.

So I, I just wanna say that I’m, I’m really, I’m really, really sorry. Okay. I appreciate your apology. I respect you taking responsibility for your actions. I just wish I could say the same thing about Colin. Yeah. You know, all this time I thought he was the victim, you know, because of like what happened to his parents, and that’s how I kept rationalizing.

What he was asking me to do for him, but I swear, I, I swear I never thought that he was this dangerous. Okay. I, I never genuinely thought that he was gonna hurt anybody.

Well, something tells me that he hit it pretty well. Yeah. Obviously I just feel really bad that I dragged my sister into all of this. I know. This is like a really bad look for her that I’m caught up in like this huge scandal. Yeah. Well, Jada doesn’t care about that. She cares about you. She loves you. Why?

She hired the best damn lawyer that she could find. Now my advice, I wanna make things up to your sister. You do whatever the hell bell tells you to do. Okay?

Oh my God. What the heck? Howdy, howdy, howdy. Sean, you’re home. Why didn’t you tell me you were flying back? I’m sorry. It just, you know, things, uh, just all happened very quickly. Have you been drinking? Uh, yes. And if you ask me, not nearly enough,

Sean, what’s going on? Did something happen with your dad? Nope. He’s uh, Still in a coma. Nothing’s changed. It’s all quiet on the Western front. So then why are you guzzling all this beer? Um, be, that’s a good question. Let me, um, hold, let me think about that one. Um, Maybe it’s because I shot my dad and I put him in a coma.

Okay, come on Sean. Listen, I’m gonna say this to you for the umpteenth time. It was an accident and everyone knows that, and everyone has tried over and over to get you to know that, so you’ll stop torturing us. Accident or no accident Bell, my old man is hanging on by a thread, not to mention my wreck of a mom who can, who’s just doing everything that she can just to try to stay positive.

Okay. Every day goes by, I gotta sit there and I gotta see her suffering, knowing that there’s nothing that I can do to help her. In fact, you know what? I think that, I think that I just made things worse. So that’s the reason why I came home. Sean, your mom does not blame you for what happened? Yeah, maybe not consciously.

Okay. In any case, After we got my dad situated, I just felt that it was best to, to make myself scarce. Well, from what you’ve told me, he’s got a, a team of world-class doctors and, you know, maybe they’re gonna find a way to bring him back to us. I just, I hope, I hope that Megan doesn’t find out where he is at.

Oh, come, my mom, she’s, she’s got enough on her plate as it is. Uh, yeah. About Megan. Um, EJ told me that she’s actually back in Salem. Wait, what? Yeah, she’s staying at the Damir mansion.

No. No. Where are you going? Where do you think I’m going? I’m gonna go give that bitch a piece of my mind. Yes, mother. I am well aware that there is a time crunch, but I’m not turning 40 tomorrow. I’d like to, you know, explore my options. What options. You’re not seeing anyone. And the last romantic encounter you had with Billy Reid was all an act.

Am I correct? You really don’t see how crazy this is, do you? Well, maybe a little crazy is what we need in this fortuitous situation, Dimitri, that inheritance money is rightfully yours. And let me let you in on honorable secret. I have big. Plans. Plans that require significant funding. So you need to put a ring on her finger, but why this woman, mother?

I mean, I’ve only known her for two minutes. I don’t know anything about her. Well, let me bring you up to speed. She is successful, she’s smart, she’s beautiful, but she has a delightful accent. That’ll be a wonder to wake up to every morning. What more do you need to know? Oh, I don’t know off the top of my head.

Uh, do you have a priest in mind for the ceremony or maybe we go with an Elvis impersonator? Oh, and you know what be helpful is, uh, knowing whether or not the bride to be is, uh, single. I did not see anything on her finger, but nail polished. So as far as I’m concerned, she’s fair gain. Now go in there and sweep that woman off her feet.

Well, you are taking this whole reporter thing very seriously. Yes. Well, I, I think I do have quite knack for it. I think I get that from my dad. Oh yeah. It’s too bad that you couldn’t bond with him over it. I mean, considering you did steal the paper from him and my friend Jennifer, my dad and your friend Jennifer, do have another paper in Boston that they’re running and they’re just fine.

Thank you for asking. Not that you cared. So you have a knack for being a reporter. I mean, good for you. How is it working with your, uh, ex? It’s the least enjoyable part. Especially considering the fact that he’s insisted that he bring on his little bird. He must mean Chloe Lane. Mm. The boring third rate singer, which my precociously perceptive child calls the evil one.

How do you know? Well, my Precociously Sharp eye daughter, uh, told me that Chloe and Zander were playing house together. Oh. Oh. And then I saw them yesterday and uh, they were kind of cussing up together. Oh.

You know, Zander says that there’s nothing romantic going on between them, but. To be honest, I think it’s just a matter of time before they have a romp in the hay. 10. Well, selfishly, I am relieved that that human barnacle has finally detached herself from Brady. I am sorry for you. They’d have to deal with her.

Oh. But if you want, I could, um, give you some pro tips on how to disappear the love, some pitch. I mean, if that is, if you wanna get back with Sander. I really appreciate that, Kristen, but that is literally the last thing I want. Oh, I said so yes, I’ve decided that it’s time for me to hop off the Zander.

Merry go round. Since he’s not really serving me anymore, given his very fickle nature, I need to put the rate behind me and move on with my life. Maybe even find someone new.

I don’t understand. Like why would you be upset about having feelings for me? Because you are you I clears it, right? Huh? Oh, come on, Xander. Like you can’t figure it out. You left me in the clutches of a Mexican drug. Lord, you, you shot Brady. You locked Nicole in a shark cage and, and you’re the literal clown who kidnapped Susan and Bonnie.

Well, that seems all your PowerPoint presentations missing is the slides. Look, if I’m so bloody awful, why do you have feelings for me? Because I’ve, I’ve seen another side of you. I’ve been sneaking peeks at me in the shower. Have you?

No, boy, just mean I’ve seen another side of you as a human being. You know, when you confessed your remorse about Susan’s death, I could tell that you really meant it. I guess there is a little heart. In there and you’ve gone to bat for me with Gwen and getting me that job at the paper, and you’ve just, you’ve been really kind to me and ugh.

And then you go and make me this beautiful dinner.

Are you saying that you might actually like me after all clothing? Like, like, like me, Todd, help me. Well, if that’s the case, I have a suggestion. Stop fighting your feelings cause that’s always a losing battle. Put down your harpoon and just

give into what your heart desires.

Ah, this, this is a really bad idea. We, we would live together. We work together. This could get really complicated, really fast. We’d have to commit to anything, Chloe, but we just take it day by day, see where it goes. Yeah. Especially since you’re still getting over Brady. And what about you? Are you really over Sarah?

Mm-hmm. And I told you I was, look, it’s like what you were saying to me about you and Brady still have feelings for her, but I know that ship is sail. Speaking of ships, I just realized that I’ve been involved with like half of your male relatives, Brady, Phillip, Damos, Victor’s godson, Daniel, sorry. So I should learn from my past mistakes and just swear off all Kiki men since it never seems to work out.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I’m the best in the whole bunch and you’ve never been with me. Seriously, Chloe, I think we should stop overthinking this. I say we try that kiss again and this time. Don’t focus on what you should or should not feel, and then you’ll have your answer. Are you sure you wanna risk getting slapped again?

I’m willing to take my chances

at this point. Dear Reader. You probably believe you’ve heard everything there is to know about Colin Bedford and Talia Hunter’s sorted tale of revenge, but you would be mistaken for lady whistleblower. Half uncovered the latest, greatest juiciest new bombshell to date. According to Talia’s sister, detective Jada, hunter Talia has been the victim of emotional abuse inflicted upon her by Mr.

Bedford. Talk about a twisted relationship.

Select all.

Delete. Oh, I hate having a conscience. Damn you, detective. Oh my God. I am so happy that you may be, I heard about Colin, um, was Leah Stark? Give any hope. Ah, not really. When Leo ran into call and he was still wearing Officer Henshaw’s uniform. Hmm. And there was no sign of Mayor Carver. Great. So we’re back to square one.

Oh, I’m, I’m so sorry guys. Don’t, don’t worry about it. We’re not gonna stop until we find them. Yeah. I mean, is, is there anything I can do to help or, yeah. Yeah, you can go home, lock your door, and then let the police handle this. Yeah. You know Ray’s right. Colin is probably very upset with you about turning on him.

You need to be very careful, Talia. I’ll have one of my officers give you a left home. Okay? Thank you so much. Yeah, listen, if you hear anything from Colin, call me right away. Okay? Yeah.

We’re so sorry for the delay, but have wonderful news. After a brief but uplifting pow wow. My son has decided to do the interview. Isn’t that right? Mere? Yes, that is correct. But like I said, I’m pretty worn out for my travel. So if we could please schedule Liz for some other time. Yes, yes, of course.

Whatever is convenient for you. What about tomorrow? You too can have a nice chat over dinner. Um, could we perhaps make it lunch? I’m, I’m quite anxious to get this story out before the intruder descends, you know? Well, either way, we’ll gather your contact information from Kristen and we’ll send along the details.

Right. Okay. Brilliant, brilliant. Um, I look forward to hearing your story. Mr. Honner. Please call Dimitri.

I am so glad that this worked out. Something tells me that this lunch is gonna be an exciting opportunity for both of you.

Sean, no. Give me the keys. Well give you, give you my keys. What? What are you, are you the valet now or something fell. You’re in no condition to drive and confronting Megan right now is not gonna change anything. Be Listen to me. My dad. My dad is fighting for his life because of that bitch. Right. She messed with his head and she, she kept him from his family.

You think that she doesn’t deserve to, to answer for that? Of course I do, but there’s nothing that we can do right now, so just give me the keys.

You know, I suppose that as much as I’d like to, I, I, I can’t, I can’t place the blames squarely on Megan’s shoulders because, Because I’m the one that pulled the trigger.

Sean, just, why don’t you put that down and come to bed? Why? Hmm. I got two beers left, and you know what they say? No soldier left behind Sean. I really think that you’ll feel better if you get some sleep. I said, no Bell now will just leave me the hell alone.

What’s the verdict? He was nice. Nice, nice. Hmm. Now I was kind of hoping for steamy or lovely or Please. And to whisk me away to Paris. Okay. You’re gonna have to settle for Nice for now. Okay. Okay. Nice. It is. Please. I didn’t get slapped this time. That’s progress, isn’t it? No, don’t push it. Okay. Well, in the name of not pushing it, I am not gonna kiss you again, even though I really wanna, so, um, what should we do?

Any ideas?

I think that we should. Get back to that dinner.

Look, I’m, I’m sorry that I snapped at you. Okay. I’m sorry, but look, I just, I want to be left alone. Well, you’re drunk. And you’re not thinking straight, and the last thing you need is to be alone. Listen, I’m fine. I’m fine. You’ve got my keys. You know I’m not going anywhere. I’m gonna be right here. Okay. So just, just please, just go to bed.

Okay. I’ll wait up for you.

I love you.

So Kristen, do you have any ideas where Dimitri and Gwen can dine together tomorrow? Why not Should leave that one detail up to me mother. What about shenanigans? Is that place still open? No, it went under years ago. Rather fitting though. Considering what you two are plotting, whatever do you mean? Ah, my Spidey sins tell me that you believe that you found Deri here.

A wife subtlety was never my mother’s strong suit. That’s very discerning of you, Kristin. Yes. I believe that Gwen, what’s her name, will be a pseudo means to an end. Oh, how romantic quote from Wordsworth. What’s most important to me and Dimitri is that he inherits what’s rightfully his, and if it turns out to be a love match between he and this charming British woman so much, the better.

There you are. Here I am. So how did it go with z Yvonne Leischner? Did you get lost in his eyes and have trouble finding your way home? Even better. He offered to give me an exclusive interview at lunch tomorrow. You lucky double. How did you manage to score such a hot story with an even hotter hunt? Some gwenny magic, I suppose.

Meanwhile, I’m over here with Bks for my column tomorrow. Oh dear. No big scoops for Mattie. I had one, a great one. In fact, it was, but someone had to go and guilt me out of it. God, why would I say anything to that idiot? Much less that TA was in an abusive relationship. Oh, look, I, Leo Stark is relentless and provocative and.

You were obviously upset. Thanks for trying to make me feel better. But we both know that he’s going to print every word that I said. I mean, it’s, it’s Leo Stark, right? Yeah, that’s Leo Stark. Listen, if what you said ends up in his column, we’ll deal with it. Okay? Thanks. Yeah, and listen, if you wanna go be with your sister, I understand.

No, I, I’ll go later. Right now the best way to help my sister is by finding Colin and Abe. Otherwise, she can take the fall for everything that Colin made her do. Well, that is not gonna happen, I promise. Well, let’s find that bastard.

Thank you so much for sending me home officer.

God, I could use a long hot shower.

Officer Shaun.

Days of Our Lives Update

Days of Our Lives logo

Update written by Joseph

Chloe comes home where Xander is waiting with a bottle of champagne to celebrate her first day at her new job. Chloe storms in, grabs the bottle and takes a drink. Xander asks if it didn’t go well. Chloe responds that it’s all because of Gwen.

Gwen is in her room at the Salem Inn, typing up a hiring ad for the Spectator. Leo bursts in and tells Gwen that he needs her help because there’s a psycho on the loose and he has him in his sights.

Dimitri enters the DiMera Mansion, surprising Megan as they hug. Megan declares that Dimitri is now home where he belongs. Kristen remarks that another prodigal son is just what the family needed.

At the hospital, Nicole tells EJ and Eric that this is not some sick competition. Nicole complains that it’s about a child’s life, so she needs them to be kind to each other and to her. Nicole cries that it breaks her heart that something she’s been longing for so long could end painfully, so she needs them to help her through this regardless of the results and who the father is. Nicole asks if they can do that for her. Kayla comes over and announces that she has the results. Nicole asks if they can go somewhere private. Kayla says she would love to but she’s in the middle of an emergency. Eric asks if it has to do with Colin Bedford. Kayla responds that it’s a lot more than that because Abe has disappeared from his recovery room and the police think the two are connected.

Sloan is at her apartment, wondering where Colin is and what he’s up to now. Jada arrives, so Sloan questions what she wants. Jada reveals a search warrant. Sloan asks if she thinks she would be dumb enough to hide Colin in her own apartment. Jada says maybe not, but if she’s helping him then she might can find something. Sloan insists that she’s not, but questions thinking she’d be dumb enough to leave clues laying around if she was. Sloan remarks that the police department might be better off hiring officers that aren’t so easily overpowered by a guy who just fell off a roof. Jada tells Sloan that the mayor is missing and demands that she tell her now if she knows anything, warning that things will not go well for her or brother otherwise.

Gwen asks Leo to be more specific. Leo tells her that it’s Colin Bedford. Gwen thinks that makes no sense and that he’s being paranoid as she asks why Colin is out to get him. Leo explains that he lost his phone, so he flagged down a cop to help but it turned out to be Colin. Gwen questions Colin posing as a cop. Leo adds that now Colin knows that he knows, so he worries about Colin showing up at the door.

Megan asks Dimitri what took him so long to show up. Dimitri responds that the US Government were less than thrilled to grant them immunity so they made sure to make his customs process arduous. Megan is just glad he’s here now, where he belongs. Megan asks Dimitri if he remembers his aunt Kristen. Dimitri asks how he could forget, recalling the last time he saw Kristen in Amsterdam where she pointed a gun at his crotch. Kristen points out that she didn’t know he was her nephew at the time and thought he was just a pesky ISA agent with Billie Reed. Megan suggests letting bygones be bygones, especially if they are going to be married which Kristen and Dimitri both question.

Xander doesn’t get why Chloe would quit her job at the newspaper and asks what Gwen did. Chloe explains that Gwen rolled out the unwelcome mat in so many awful ways that she lost count. Chloe tells Xander that Gwen tried to make her office be a broom closet and then she was texting her every 45 minutes with an unreachable sales goal, setting her up to fail. Chloe knows Xander stuck his neck out for her to get the job but she won’t take that treatment from anyone. Xander apologizes as he had no idea that Gwen would treat her like this. Chloe understands that he tried. Xander responds that the problem is Chloe did not try and asks her not to quit yet. Xander points out that if Chloe quits, Gwen wins.

Gwen tells Leo that no one is coming to murder him. Leo complains that he’s not as optimistic. Gwen argues that Colin is on the run from the police, so Leo is the least of his problems. Leo worries that Colin thinks he might talk to the police and complains that Colin is legit scary. Leo talks about how hot Colin is as well. Gwen encourages that he has nothing to worry about and suggests he focus on something else, like his next column. Leo insists that he’s not writing about Colin since that’s what got him riled up in the first place. Gwen informs Leo that she actually needs him to find some dirt on somebody else.

Dimitri questions Megan already trying to marry him off and to his aunt at that. Kristen questions making this outrageous suggestion without consulting her first. Megan responds that she was confident they would go along with it, noting that they are not related by blood and it’s hardly breaking ground for the DiMeras. Megan brings up Kristen marrying Tony because it was Stefano’s wish and she saw the wisdom in it. Megan toasts to their upcoming marriage.

Sloan asks Jada about conflict of interest, since she has family mixed up in this as well. Jada argues that Talia would have had nothing to do with this if it wasn’t for Colin. Sloan points out that Talia was the one actually committing the crimes that Colin is accused of. Sloan tells Jada to finish up her search and get out already, remarking that she has enough on her mind with her boyfriend’s ex being pregnant which catches Jada’s attention. Sloan asks if Jada didn’t know and then informs her that Nicole is knocked up and the baby might be Eric’s.

Eric asks if Nicole is okay. Nicole worries about Abe. EJ encourages that they will find him and offers to volunteer a security team to help the search. Nicole asks if there are any leads. Kayla says not yet but she needs to get to her office for an update. Kayla says she’s sorry she can’t stay but she’ll be around if she needs her as she hugs Nicole. Nicole thanks Kayla for bringing the test. Kayla then walks away, leaving Nicole in between EJ and Eric with the test results.

Gwen shows Leo a photo of Dimitri, who he recognizes. Gwen explains that Dimitri is not only free, but has deep roots in Salem and reveals that he’s a Dimitri as he’s Megan Hathaway’s son. Gwen adds that Dimitri’s plane has just landed in Salem, so she wants Leo to find out why he’s here and what he wants. Leo responds that it sounds great but she’ll have to get someone else to cover it because he’s already got one psycho after him and doesn’t need another.

Dimitri tells Megan that he understands he and Kristen are not blood related but they are also not a good match and brings up their age difference. Megan thinks they could be highly compatible if they gave it a shot as they are both charming and charismatic. Megan suggests Dimitri proposes for practical reasons. Kristen asks for an explanation. Megan reveals that she recently found out there is a sizable amount of Von Leuschner that Dimitri is in line to collect, but there are strings as it specifies that Dimitri must be married before he’s 40 and he’s now 39. Dimitri questions why he’s never heard of this trust. Megan says she hasn’t either until now because some members of his extended family are hoping he won’t make the deadline, but the money is his if he acts. Dimitri asks how much money they are talking. Megan calls it more than enough to kickstart their plans as she and Kristen want to take over the world and she assumes that Dimitri is in.

Jada questions Sloan about Eric and Nicole, arguing that they aren’t even seeing each other and Nicole is with EJ now. Sloan confirms that but remarks that if Nicole is pregnant with Eric’s baby then Jada can blame her sister for that. Jada questions what Talia has to do with it. Sloan explains that Eric and Nicole had the drugged biscuits and while under the influence, they forgot all about her, EJ, and birth control. Jada calls that unfortunate for everyone involved. Sloan says it must bring up painful memories for Jada too since she and Eric would still be together if she hadn’t gotten that abortion and they could be singing to their baby but instead, Eric might finally get to be a father, just with someone else.

Eric tells Nicole that if she wants to wait on the test results until there’s an update on Abe, he will understand. EJ tells Eric to can the fake sympathy as he wants answers just as bad as he does. EJ feels it’s better to get it over with now and then once they have the answer, Nicole can focus on bringing Abe home. Eric questions if it is all about Abe while EJ asks if Nicole is tired of Eric buzzing around. Nicole stops them and asks them to just let her do this. Nicole then opens the envelope and reads the test results. EJ asks what it says. Nicole announces that Eric is not a match. EJ excitedly declares that he knew the child was his and calls it a miracle as he kisses Nicole. Eric congratulates them. EJ tells Eric that he’s sure it stings a bit but in the long run, it’s best for everyone involved as they don’t have to go through the awkwardness of Eric and Nicole raising a baby while Nicole is with him and Sloan is spared the pain of Eric raising a child with another woman. EJ feels that everyone is a winner today. Eric guesses that’s it and wishes them the best of luck with everything. Nicole thanks Eric as he then walks away. EJ excitedly hugs Nicole and calls this a gift that changes everything. Eric slowly exits through the elevator.

Sloan tells Jada that she told her she wouldn’t find anything. Sloan suggests if Jada wants to grill somebody, she can go see Leo Stark. Jada asks why she would do that. Sloan reveals that Leo said he ran in to Colin earlier today. Jada questions why she didn’t tell her that when she got there. Sloan responds that it’s not her job to help Jada do her job. Jada argues that Sloan withheld vital information in an ongoing case. Sloan tells Jada to go ahead if she wants to arrest her for being an accessory because she would love nothing more than to sue for false arrest. Jada warns that Sloan is not off the hook yet as she then walks out of the apartment.

Xander tells Chloe that he knows Gwen can be difficult at times, but asks her not to close the door on this opportunity. Xander encourages that Gwen is only bullying her because she didn’t get her way. Xander knows Chloe can overcome this. Chloe acknowledges standing up to bullies since high school. Xander says the only way to beat a bully is to prove they won’t break her. Xander tells Chloe that he’ll be there and needs Chloe to fight. Chloe says maybe she doesn’t want to fight and she’s just tired. Xander encourages that it’s only been one day. Chloe feels it will be this way every day and asks why she should subject herself to that. Xander asks her to do it for him. Xander explains that he and Gwen are locked in a battle of wills, so if Chloe leaves, he’ll be on his own against her. Chloe points out that Xander used to love Gwen. Xander says now Gwen lives to antagonize him, so if Chloe leaves, she will use that as proof that he was wrong and it will be one battle after another. Xander jokes that it will also turn him in to a miserable roommate. Chloe then agrees to stay at the job and give it another try. Xander promises that she won’t regret it. Chloe suggests pouring them some of the champagne now. Xander offers to go out instead and get whatever she wants. Chloe says she’d rather stay in, put her feet up, and watch a movie so she asks if they can just order in. Xander says absolutely not since she is sacrificing herself for his sanity, so she deserves better. Xander declares that he will prepare a feast. Xander then pours champagne to toast to Chloe’s ultimate victory and Gwen’s inevitable defeat.

Gwen can’t believe Leo would pass on such a juicy story. Leo reminds her that he’s the one who switched the emerald on the Alamanian Peacock, preventing Dimitri’s plan to take over the world. Gwen thinks their history makes Leo perfect for the job. Leo feels Dimitri probably wants him dead for foiling his plans and repeats that he doesn’t need another psycho wanting his head on the wall. Gwen decides she’ll have to find somebody else then to cover the greatest and largest story of the year. Gwen brings up a Pulitzer prize and possible book deal coming out of it. Gwen says it has all the elements of a breakaway hit and imagines it could be a 7 figure deal. Gwen says she understands his trepidation and doesn’t want him to put himself in any danger. Leo starts to express interest but still says no, asking what good all that money would be if he’s too dead to spend it, so he tells Gwen to find someone else to cover it. Gwen decides if you want something done, you have to do it yourself. Gwen declares that she will write the article and if something comes of it, she won’t share any of it with him. Gwen jokes with Leo to lock the door because he never knows who might be coming. Gwen then exits and Leo rushes to lock the door.

Kristen questions Megan’s plan to finance their mutual ambitions. Megan explains that if they keep it in the family, they can get the money quickly and save time trying to find Dimitri a suitable partner while not having the risk of it turning out to be a gold digger. Megan declares that opportunity is knocking and they must answer.

Eric goes to Sloan’s apartment and asks if there’s any news on Colin. Sloan says no but he did just miss Jada and her search warrant which was a complete waste of time since she didn’t find anything. Eric asks if she heard about Abe. Sloan confirms she has but says that Colin is desperate though not a monster or stupid enough to put a target on his back like that. Sloan asks how Eric heard about it and if it’s on the news. Eric says no and explains that he was at the hospital when Kayla told him. Sloan asks what he was doing at the hospital. Eric informs her that Nicole got the results back from the DNA test and he’s not there. Eric tells Sloan that she doesn’t have to pretend she’s not happy. Sloan can’t deny that’s what she was hoping to hear, but she knows how much he wanted to be a father and she can see that he’s hurting. Eric decides it’s not the right time and guesses that’s probably for the best.

EJ excitedly tells Nicole that it’s truly happening that they are having a baby together. EJ says he felt all along that it was his baby as they kiss. EJ asks Nicole if they are to share the news or keep it to themselves. Nicole thinks they should wait. EJ asks if she’s worried about her history. Nicole doesn’t want to be negative but also doesn’t want to forget there’s a really good chance that she can’t carry the baby to term. EJ understands that she’s dealt with this disappointment twice before but encourages her not to let the past dictate the future. EJ declares that the first step is getting her the best care possible and there is no time to waste as they walk off together.

Xander cooks egg sandwiches for he and Chloe. Xander encourages her to try it and she admits it’s really good. Xander says it pairs nicely with the champagne. Xander talks about Scottish people inventing things which Chloe jokes with him about. Xander then kisses Chloe.

Megan talks to Dimitri and Kristen about their wedding. Dimitri admits that Megan has thought this all through but says his answer is no. Megan asks Kristen to make the right choice and persuade Dimitri that this is the best choice they have. Kristen says she has to agree with Dimitri as she is preparing for a custody fight and showing up with her nephew on her arm won’t win her brownie points with the judge. Megan calls them pathetic. Dimitri says there are plenty of fish in the sea. Megan feels most of them are not suitable for him to marry. Megan declares that if they are not keeping it in the family, they have to find someone very special for him to marry. Gwen then walks in and says she’s looking for Dimitri.

Leo remains looking at Dimitri’s photo and says maybe it wouldn’t be so bad to get up close and personal with that. Leo wishes Dimitri was homosexual instead of homicidal. There’s then a knock at the door which startles Leo, causing him to worry that it’s the other homicidal maniac but it’s Jada. Leo asks what he can do for her. Jada says she understands that he had a run in with Colin Bedford. Leo confirms that he did and says it was just brief small talk. Leo swears that he doesn’t know anything. Jada thinks he does and demands him tell everything about his encounter from start to finish, unless he’d like to spend the night in a jail cell.

Kayla is on the phone in her office, saying she will put out a statement about Colin’s possible involvement in Abe’s disappearance in about an hour and says to send any press inquiries to the administrator’s office. She hangs up as EJ and Nicole enter. EJ informs Kayla that they are both doing very well after getting the news they were hoping for. Kayla says she’s glad that is the case and asks how she can help. Nicole admits they are concerned about her medical history and if she can carry the baby to term since the scar tissue on her uterus has created issues. Kayla knows she’s had her struggles. EJ wonders if there has been advances in technology or anything that will improve their chances. Kayla says she’s not a fertility doctor but she can give them a referral. EJ says they will remain optimistic. Kayla says she has to go make a statement to the board about the Abe situation but she wants to talk to Nicole and she will get them the number to the specialist. Kayla adds that she is in their corner as she exits. EJ promises Nicole that he will move Heaven and Earth to get them a successful outcome and that she will bring their baby to term. Nicole agrees to pray for that. EJ tells Nicole that he loves her and kisses her.

Sloan tells Eric that she hates seeing him in pain. Eric appreciates her saying that. Eric says he’s happy being here with her and looks forward to their future together. Eric tells Sloan that he loves her. Sloan responds that she loves him as they hug. Sloan then thinks back to the night of the cheek swab, revealing that she told herself she couldn’t risk losing Eric to Nicole if the baby is his, so she used the cheek swab on herself and not Eric which caused the DNA test to not be a match. Sloan then tells Eric that he’s all she ever wanted.

He told Harris to leave Salem if he wanted to help. Megan and Kristen had a drink at the mansion. Stefan and Gabi came in with a plan to get rid of EJ. Megan wanted to know what was in it for them. Gabi said they would play a big role in the company. She handed them the plan to make DiMera better. Their pictures were in the folder. Nicole told EJ that she wasn’t menopausing. She told him she was pregnant. He asked why she didn’t tell him. He realized she didn’t tell him because the baby wasn’t his. She told him she didn’t know because it might be Eric’s. He thought she didn’t want to marry him because the baby might be Eric’s. He asked if she would want Eric back if the baby were his. Eric told Marlena that Nicole was doing a paternity test. She asked him how he felt about that. He said part of him was hoping the baby was his. He said he felt bad about that. He said the last thing Sloan would need is for him to have a baby with another woman. He said she was a woman he still had feelings for.

Update written by Joseph

Steve returns home from Greece while on the phone with Hope. Steve asks about Bo and the new rehab facility. Steve tells Hope that if she needs anything, to just let him know and he’ll take care of it. Steve tells her not to worry about Megan Hathaway because there’s no way she’s going to find her. Steve says he and Kayla are praying for Bo and are there in spirit. Steve says they’ll talk soon as they hang up. Steve then answers his door to see Harris Michaels has arrived.

Megan joins Kristen in the living room of the DiMera Mansion. Megan pours a drink as Kristen talks about taking the edge off. Stefan and Gabi walk in. Stefan says he’d love a celebratory drink. Megan and Kristen question what this is all about as Gabi shuts the doors and says they’d prefer the servants don’t overhear. Stefan then announces they are plotting the demise of EJ.

Nicole joins EJ in his bedroom. They kiss and say they missed each other. EJ says he just got back awhile ago and he looked all over for her but he couldn’t find her, so he questions where she has been. Nicole reveals that she left the office early to go to the hospital. EJ asks if everything is alright.

At the Brady Pub, Eric informs Marlena that Nicole is pregnant and the baby could be his. Eric adds that Nicole is at the hospital now, getting a paternity test so they are going to find out if he’s the father.

Nicole tells EJ that everything is alright. EJ asks why she was at the hospital. Nicole reveals that she was giving Kayla a blood sample. EJ assumes it’s because of her menopause treatment but Nicole admits that she’s not entering menopause. EJ doesn’t understand how Kayla could make such an error. Nicole reveals that she lied to EJ. Nicole then announces that she missed her period, not because of menopause, but because she’s pregnant.

Steve questions what Harris is doing there. Harris asks if he can come in, which Steve reluctantly allows. Steve tells Harris that he can save the explanation because Shawn already told him that Harris was following them to Salem to keep an eye on Megan, but there are a lot of people already doing that job including he and John, who are private investigators, qualified to keep an eye on people. Steve tells Harris that his help is not needed here and he’d just be one more person that he doesn’t trust to keep an eye on. Steve declares that if Harris really wants to help, he’ll turn around and leave Salem.

Megan questions Stefan proposing the demise of EJ. Stefan clarifies that it’s not literal but more of a consequential fall from grace. Kristen guesses they need their help to oust EJ from DiMera Enterprises. Megan asks what’s in it for them. Gabi responds that they will both play major, noteworthy roles in the company’s future. Gabi says they have ideas to share and hands them each a paper.

Marlena tells Eric that now it all makes sense why Nicole lied about their being a viral outbreak in the hospital as the cheek swabs were not for the virus, but to help determine paternity. Eric agrees that sums it up. Marlena asks how Sloan found out. Eric informs her that Sloan saw Nicole’s pre natal vitamins at the hospital and then Nicole begged Sloan not to tell anyone. Eric adds that Sloan agreed to help Nicole find out the paternity. Marlena questions if Nicole was ever going to tell him the truth. Eric explains that Nicole was hoping to get the results of the paternity test before saying anything to he or EJ. Marlena is surprised to learn that EJ didn’t know Nicole was pregnant either.

EJ is shocked to learn that Nicole is pregnant and says he doesn’t understand why she wouldn’t tell him, but then EJ stops and guesses the baby is not his.

Harris acknowledges that Steve has every reason not to trust him and that’s why he was his first stop in Salem which Steve calls an interesting choice. Harris tells Steve that he respects him but says he’s not going anywhere and thinks he can be a help here. Harris brings up that he’s from Salem and went to high school here, so it’s the closest thing he has to home. Harris adds that they are on the same side but they don’t have to be friends. Harris asks if they can put aside their differences to work together to make sure Megan doesn’t hurt Hope again. Harris offers a handshake to Steve.

Stefan explains that once they vote EJ out, Megan and Kristen will both take on very prominent roles with the company. Kristen calls the details vague as Gabi says they want them to be free to do what they want in the company. Megan worries that the 30 year gap in her resume might make the board think it’s nepotism. Gabi and Stefan call them both miracle workers that have brought people back from the dead. Megan asks if it’s not just because they need their votes. Stefan admits there is that but puts over their determination and ruthlessness. Kristen asks if they just want them to do the dirty work, but Gabi says that’s not what they are saying at all. Stefan encourages them to read the proposal and see what happens. Megan agrees to take it under advisement. Stefan says they will see them later as he and Gabi exit the room. Kristen asks what Megan makes of this. Megan takes the proposal and tosses it in to the fireplace, asking Kristen if she has a match.

EJ asks Nicole if her baby is his. Nicole admits that she does not know. EJ says that’s because it might be Eric’s. EJ goes over how Nicole didn’t tell him about sleeping with Eric, then apologized and swore she would never lie to him again, only to go to great lengths to not tell him that she’s pregnant. Nicole apologizes and says she would’ve told him sooner, but she couldn’t get a paternity test until she was 7 weeks along and she didn’t want him to hear the news like this. EJ questions why he is hearing it now then. Nicole reveals it’s because Eric found out.

Eric tells Marlena that Sloan is hoping the baby isn’t his since they are in a relationship. Marlena asks how Eric feels about all of this. Eric calls it so sudden, that he hasn’t had time to process it. Eric adds that they don’t even know if the baby is his, if Nicole can carry the baby to term, or how EJ will react to finding out if he’s not the father. Eric calls the situation complicated. Marlena states that they know how EJ would react, but points out that Eric didn’t answer her question. Marlena asks Eric again how he feels about the idea of Nicole carrying his child. Eric admits that part of him is hoping the baby is his.

Before Steve can answer Harris, Kayla comes home. Kayla greets him and notes that he didn’t tell her that he was coming home as he hugs her. Steve says he wanted to surprise her. Steve informs Kayla that Harris was just telling him that he is moving back to Salem and wants to help keep an eye on Megan Hathaway, but he told him that they have enough cops, detectives, and spies in the family. Kayla responds that she thinks they could use all the help they could get.

Eric tells Marlena that it feels wrong saying he wants the baby to be his. Marlena feels there’s no right or wrong as this is about his feelings and he has to respect those, especially after what happened with Jada. Eric feels he shouldn’t be thinking it and says the last thing Sloan needs to hear after everything with her brother is that he’s having a baby with another woman. Marlena points out that it’s not just another woman, but a woman that he still has some feelings for.

EJ can’t believe he didn’t realize what was going on sooner. EJ says that’s why Nicole didn’t drink champagne, why she said his proposal didn’t feel like the right timing, and why she couldn’t say she loved him. Nicole cries that she felt guilty for not telling him the truth while EJ argues that she might be carrying another man’s baby. EJ states that Nicole wants to keep her options open because she wouldn’t want to be with him if Eric is the father, asking if she would want Eric back.

Stefan massages Gabi’s feet in their bedroom. Stefan talks about how they have to come up with something for Megan and Kristen to do that keeps them feeling useful but also keeps them out of their way. Gabi feels that Megan is lukewarm about the proposal and will be tough to crack. Gabi says that Kristen is too focused on getting her family back together while Megan is too obsessed with someone that’s in a coma to run things. Stefan talks about how the board would question Megan just walking in to run things while encouraging that Gabi will be the best CEO. Stefan declares that they have the backing of management so there is no way in hell that Megan will be running anything. Gabi worries about Megan having an ego and wanting world domination.

Megan asks Kristen if she really thinks they are going to put their leverage behind measly jobs at Gabi Chic which she calls a waste of considerable talent. Kristen agrees that they should be running DiMera, not their baby brothers and certainly not Gabi. Megan states that her ambitions extend far beyond running DiMera. Megan declares that she deserves so much more. Kristen asks her to be more specific. Megan states that Stefan was a grand puppet master and the whole world feared him. Megan says all of his other offspring have had their shot at emulating him, so now it’s her turn. Kristen questions Megan wanting to be her father’s daughter. Megan responds that she is her father’s daughter. Megan declares that just like the Phoenix, Megan DiMera is rising again.

Stefan tells Gabi that Megan doesn’t hold a candle to her as they kiss. They talk about how they can’t wait to get married and how lucky they are. Stefan encourages that they can have it all as Salem’s power couple. Stefan declares they are unstoppable as a team as they continue kissing in bed.

Kristen asks if Megan is aspiring to take over the world. Megan feels she’s not being delusional as she is dead serious. Megan says she will start with Salem. Kristen calls that a very expensive undertaking and she doesn’t hold the purse strings to DiMera like Stefano did. Megan responds that she won’t be needing DiMera money because she has another plan.

Kayla tells Steve about Abe missing and the psychopath that attacked him has escaped police custody and is out there somewhere, impersonating a cop. Steve asks if Colin took Abe. Kayla says that’s the theory as they have nothing else to go on. Steve asks what he can do to help. Kayla thinks they need more man power as Jada is being pulled in all different directions because her sister was arrested for being in cahoots with Colin. Kayla says that Abe is relatively stable, but he had a serious head injury so she worries he won’t get the care he needs. Steve encourages Kayla to eat but Kayla says she just came to pick up a few things as she needs to get back to the hospital to brief the board. Kayla gets a text that the test results that she’s been waiting on are in. Steve asks if she’s okay. Kayla responds that she will be now that he’s back and kisses him.

Eric tells Marlena that he told Sloan that he loves her. Marlena feels he wouldn’t say it if he didn’t mean it. Eric assures that he did mean it in the moment. Marlena suggests maybe he didn’t mean an undying kind of love. Marlena talks about knowing how much Eric wants a family and encourages that he’ll be a spectacular father. Marlena asks if Eric wants to raise the baby with Nicole, while she’s still with EJ, or if he’s thinking the two of them could reunite and raise the baby together.

Nicole tells EJ that this is not about her wanting to go back to Eric or keeping her options open. EJ questions what it is about then. Nicole responds that she was desperately hoping to tell him that they were having a baby together, so he wouldn’t have to deal with the uncertainty and anxiety that has consumed her for the last few weeks, especially since there’s a good chance she won’t be able to carry the pregnancy to term. EJ asks if she’s spoken to a doctor yet and encourages that there have been medical advances since she was last pregnant. Nicole says she hasn’t made an appointment with a specialist because she’s been taking everything one step at a time. EJ asks how Eric found out. Nicole explains that Sloan told him as she found out by accident. EJ then questions who else knew before he did. Nicole admits that she confided in Anna, who accidentally told Tony. EJ complains that he feels like such a fool. Nicole argues that it was only going to be one more day because she had the test run and they will find out soon. EJ asks how that’s possible without a sample from he and Eric. Nicole informs him that they only needed one of them and admits that she was going to swab his cheek while he was sleeping but he went out of town, so Sloan got one from Eric. Nicole then gets a call from Kayla, who informs her that she has her test results.

Stefan and Gabi lay in bed together. Gabi says she wants to be in bed with him all day on their honeymoon. Stefan asks how long it will take to plan the wedding of her dreams because he’s already waited four years. Gabi asks if he thinks they could afford to get away from DiMera right now. Stefan admits that taking over DiMera is important to him, but marrying her is everything and most important. Gabi points out that they don’t even have the divorce decree yet. Stefan encourages that could happen any day now, but questions why he feels like Gabi is looking for reasons to put off the wedding.

Kristen asks Megan what her get rich quick scheme is. Megan responds that she will find out soon enough. Kristen asks if she doesn’t trust her. Megan says that Kristen will have all the details when the time is right, but she wants to make sure everything is in place first for when Bo regains consciousness. Megan states that Stefano called Marlena his queen of the night and now Bo will be her’s. Kristen stops her and questions what her role is in all of this. Megan assures that it will be a vital one. Megan argues that they both know that Kristen won’t have the time to dedicate to this project like she does due to having a young child, but insists that she very much needs her as she is paramount to all of this. Kristen declares that she will not be sidelined and she’s going to want something from Megan in return.

Nicole asks Kayla if they can meet now. Kayla says she will see her at the hospital. EJ questions not giving the results over the phone. Nicole asks EJ to come with her to hear the results when she does. Nicole says she’s been agonizing over this for weeks and now that EJ finally knows, she hoped they could go through it together no matter what. EJ knows he’s been harsh with her over this but assures that nothing would make him happier than having a child with her. Nicole thanks him and says that means so much to her. EJ asks if they should go, but Nicole says there’s one thing she has to do first.

Eric asks Marlena what the point is of all these hypothetical questions since it won’t mean anything if he’s not the baby’s father. Marlena disagrees and thinks he needs to be honest about his feelings, regardless of the test. Marlena adds that if Eric still harbors idea of he and Nicole getting back together, he needs to look at that. Eric then gets a text from Nicole, asking him to meet her at the hospital. Eric guesses this is the moment of truth.

Gabi assures Stefan that she wants to marry him as soon as possible, but guesses she’s a little gun shy after her last marriage turned in to a farce. Stefan promises this time will be perfect and that he’s grateful every day for this second chance. Gabi brings up that their first wedding was on July 31 so if they do that again, they’ll only have one anniversary to remember. Stefan points out that’s only 8 weeks away and asks if she’s sure that will be enough time. Gabi declares that she will make it an event to remember and for all the right reasons this time.

Megan asks Kristen what her one condition is. Kristen brings up Brady having full custody of Rachel and keeping her away from her at all costs. Kristen says she’s asked several lawyers to revisit the case but they all refused and she’s tired of hearing no. Kristen wants Megan’s nefarious plans to include her getting full custody of Rachel for good this time. Megan calls that pedestrian and asks if she considered kidnapping. Kristen brings up that Megan has moved heaven and earth to be with her son. Megan admits she’s concerned about Dimitri since he was meant to come straight back to Salem after their immunity deal, but she hasn’t heard from him. Megan notes that if Dimitri doesn’t want to be found, he won’t be, and she knows that the Alamain family are desperate to get him back in custody. Dimitri then walks in and announces that her son is right here.

Steve tells Harris that it’s like all the villains decided to cause trouble at the same time. Steve adds that he doesn’t have any more time for Harris as he has to get a hold of John, so they can get out there and find Abe. Harris says he’d really like to help if he can. Steve thanks him but says they are good. Harris asks if he’s sure, questioning who can keep an eye on Megan 24/7 while they are out looking for Abe. Steve assures that they’ve got this so Harris says he hears the message and agrees to go. Harris tells Steve that if he changes his mind, his offer still stands, as he then exits.

Nicole and EJ are at the hospital. Nicole questions if EJ is alright as he paces. EJ complains about not understanding why Nicole felt the need to summon Eric. Nicole explains that she promised to tell him when the results came in and she wants to do this one time to have it over with. Eric then arrives at the hospital. Nicole informs him that Kayla will be meeting them soon. EJ comments on Eric only having sex with Nicole one time recently while he and Nicole are living together and enjoying each other. Nicole yells at EJ to stop and says this is not some sick competition. Nicole complains that it’s about a child’s life, so she needs them to be kind to each other and to her. Nicole cries that it breaks her heart that something she’s been longing for so long could end painfully, so she needs them to help her through this regardless of the results and who the father is. Nicole asks if they can do that for her.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Well, I did try to catch a few winks here and there, but the guy sitting next to me was a real chatter box. Yeah. No, actually I just, uh, walked in the door. Hey, how’s Bo doing? You too. Settled into that new rehab facility. Oh, that’s good. Good. And hope. Remember, if you need anything at all, you just let me know and I’ll take care of it, okay?

No, no. Don’t worry about Megan Hathaway. There’s no way she’s gonna find you. Okay? Uh, listen, I gotta run, but just know that Kayla and I are praying for Bo and we’re there with all of you in spirit. Okay? Okay, baby. I’ll talk to you soon. Love you too.

Well, look who’s here. Commander Michaels.

Well, it looks like it’s five o’clock somewhere and that somewhere is here. This, Megan, I know that you spent the last God note how many years off the grid and then in Statesville that a girl’s gotta take the edge off somehow. You wanna join me for a tip? Who love a celebratory drink? Two fingers neat, please.

And. What exactly are we celebrating? What is this all about? We just refer the servants didn’t. Over here.

Over here, well, plotting the demise of our dear brother ej.

Now you are darling.

I missed you.

Two. When did you get back? Oh, a little while ago. I looked all over for you, but I couldn’t find you. Where have you been? I found the office and they said you weren’t there. I, um, I left the office early to go to the hospital. The hospital, Nicole, is everything. All right?

So Nicole told you she’s pregnant and the child might be yours. Actually, Sloan did. It’s a long story, but Nicole just confirmed she’s at the hospital running a paternity test as we speak. Hey, we’re gonna find out. I’m the father. Everything is all right. Yes. But you were at the hospital. Why? I was giving Kayla a blood sample.

To follow up on the perimenopause treatment? No. Ej, I’m not entering into menopause. Oh, well then I, I don’t understand. How could Kayla make such an error? She didn’t. I lied to you. What? I, I, I didn’t miss my period because I’m going into menopause. I miss my period because. I am pregnant,

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

What are you doing here? Michaels? Is it all right if I come in?

Thank you. So listen, um, here’s no, no, no. Here’s the reason. You can save the explanation. Sean already told me that you were planning to follow us to Salem, so you could keep an eye on Megan Hathaway. Uh, yes, that’s true. So, well, the thing is, there are a whole lot of people already doing that job. John, me, you know, we’re PIs, we’re qualified to keep an eye on people.

So your help is not needed here. Just give me one more person that I don’t trust that I have to keep my eye on. If you really want to help you turn around and get outta Salem.

The demise of each. A Dara, well, not literally. Yeah, sorry to get your hopes up. Think of it more as a, uh, Consequential fall from Grace. Mm. So you too need our help in ousting, our brother from Dera Enterprises. I think that the reasonable question here is what’s in it for us. Well, we expected you to ask that, so we are in full agreement that you both will play major and noteworthy roles in the company’s future.

In fact, we have a couple of ideas we’d like to share. Oh,

well now it all makes sense. What? It makes sense why Nicole lied about there being a viral outbreak at the hospital on the 10th floor. Those cheek swabs were not for the virus they were to help determine paternity.

Yeah, that pretty much sums it up. Hmm. How does Sloan find out? She saw Nicole’s prenatal vitamins. Apparently she dropped them when she ran into the Sloan at the hospital. Nicole begged her slow, not to say a word. I mean, she knew that Nicole and I,

Sloan was hoping the baby wasn’t mine. So she agreed to help Nicole get a DNA swab without me knowing about it. Hmm. Wasn’t Nicole ever gonna tell you the truth? She was kind of hoping that she would get the results of the paternity test before she said anything to EJ or me. So EJ doesn’t know that the Nicole’s pregnant As far as I know, ejs still in the dark.

Oh my God. Nicole, you are pregnant. Yes. Well, I, I, I, I don’t understand. Why wouldn’t you tell me that you’re having my,

because it’s not mine, is it?

You have every reason not to trust me. I know that. That’s why you were my first stop in Salem. Interesting choice for first stop. Well, Steve, I respect you. I do. But I’m not going anywhere. I’ve said my . I’ve helped you guys find Kate. I think I can be useful here. I mean, I’m from Salem. I went to Salem High.

This place is, it’s the closest thing I know to home. And we’re on the same side. Like we don’t, we don’t have to be friends, but I think we can put aside our differences work together to make sure Megan does not hurt hope again, can’t we?

So as you can see, once we vote EJ out, you’ll both take on very prominent roles at the company. Details are a little vague to me. Well, we want you to have the agency to choose whatever peaks your interest the most. You know, I’m just concerned that the um, 30 year employment gap on my resume. Might be of some concern to the board.

It smacks a bit of nepotism. No, even So didn’t you bring back four people from the dead? I mean, not a skillset everyone can brag about. No. Oh, I think I brought back a few more than that, which is precisely why we need both of you, your miracle workers. You too. Oh, so then it’s not because you need our votes.

Well, there is that too. But your determination in your ruthlessness, no, no bounds. You’re also very skilled at coloring outside the lines. Oh, I get it. So while you’re skimming through a chicken soup for the shareholder’s soul sheen, I’ll be doing the dirty work. No, that’s not what we’re saying at all.

Listen, take a look. Read the proposal, offer your input. We’ll see what happens. We’ll take it under advisement. All right, for killing me. Get you. Maybe we’ll see you ladies later for night cap. Oh, we’ll be here.

So what do you make of this?

Got a match? Is it Nicole? Is it my baby or Carrie?

I don’t know if it is or not,

because it might be Eric’s,

so first you don’t tell me that you slept with Eric during. Biscuit gate and then after apologizing profusely assuring me that you would never lie to me again. You didn’t tell me that you were pregnant. In fact, you went to great lengths to concoct in alternate reality. I’m, I’m so sorry I would’ve told you sooner, but I, I, I couldn’t get a paternity test until I was seven weeks along.

And I didn’t want you to hear the news the way you’re hearing the news now. So why am I hearing it now?

Because he, Eric found out

you said Sloan is hoping this baby isn’t yours. Yeah. I mean, of course we’re in a committed relationship. Mm-hmm. And what about you? What do you mean about me? How do you feel about all this?

On the news, it’s all of a sudden, I, I just haven’t even had time to process this. I mean, we don’t even know if the baby’s mine or if Nicole can even carry the pregnancy to term and ej, my God, how is he gonna respond if he finds out he’s not the father? It’s just, it’s just a complicated situation. I mean, obviously, Yes.

Well, it certainly is complicated and we do know how EJ would react, but you didn’t answer my question. How do you feel about the idea of a call carrying your child?

I’m being honest with myself.

I guess a part of me is hoping that that baby’s mine.

Alright, well soon you get the test results back. Let me know. Okay. Hey, hey. Sweet mess. Come here. You tell me you were coming back today. I know I wanted to surprise you. Hello, Kayla. Hello Harris. Uh, commander Michaels here was just telling me that he’s moving back to Salem. And he wants to help keep an eye on Megan Hathaway.

Huh? But I told him that we’re good. We have more than enough cops and detectives and spies in the family. Actually, I think we need all the help we can get.

It just feels wrong saying that, and I want this baby to be mine. I wasn’t no right or wrong about that. This is about your feelings. You gotta respect those, especially after what happened with Jada. Now, I just shouldn’t be thinking it.

I’ve been Sloan, everything that she’s been through with her brother, this is the last thing that she needs to hear. That I’m having a baby with another woman. Well, it’s not exactly another woman, it’s a woman pro. You still have some feelings. Am I right?

I, I, I can’t believe I didn’t realize what was going on sooner. That’s why you didn’t drink any champagne. That’s why when I got down on one knee and asked you to be my wife, you looked at me and said The timing was bad. I told you I loved you, and you couldn’t even say back. I felt guilty for not telling you the truth, not to mention that you knew you might be carrying another man’s baby.

You want to keep your options open. Keep my options open in case Eric is the father. Then the last thing you would want is to be betrothed to me. No, that is not because you would want him back. Wouldn’t you?

All right. You ready for the finishing touch? Uh, the finishing touch? Yeah. Is it less intense than that toe bending thing you were doing? All right. So you gently, you take the left side of the foot and pull. Why you take the right side and push and twist. Oh, that feels there. It’s amazing. I needed that. Oh, nothing better than that.

You know, I’ve been thinking. If Megan can cure disease and raise the dead, do you think that there’s a way she could invent some sort of comfortable stiletto technology for Gabby Sheik? Oh, if only, I mean, we’ve tried everything under the sun, right? Only we can offer a foot massage with every purchase.

Maybe that was nice. That’s not a bad idea, but seriously, we’ve gotta come up with some sort of idea, something for those two women to do that both helps ’em feeling useful and keeps ’em out of our way. You know, I gotta say, I feel like Megan was kinda lukewarm about her proposal. I think she’s gonna be a tough nut to crack.

I’m a fine way. What about Kristen? Kristen’s too preoccupied with getting her little family back to fall out of line. But Megan. Megan’s got nothing but an obsession with someone who’s comatose another continent. And even though she may be power hungry, I can’t imagine the board’s gonna be okay with her just waltzing in and trying to run things.

I mean, you have to have working knowledge of technology at least. Post walk, man. Am I right? But you my love, you are going to be the best CEO this company has ever seen. I you that also, on top of all that, we have the backing of the staff and the management, as you know. So Megan is not gonna be charged.

There’s no way in hell yeah. Well both agree on that. But you know, Megan, she’s got an ego on her bigger than all outdoors and, and not to mention her cold heart that is, What I, I’m thinking is set on world domination. I, I’m just wondering how she’s gonna take it. Do they honestly think that we’re gonna put our leverage behind them for a couple of measly jobs at Gabby Sheik?

What a waste of considerable talent. Yeah, I agree with you. We should be running Damara, not our baby brothers, and certainly not that little low life operator. Gabby Hernandez. My ambitions extend far beyond running Dara. Oh, and how far do they extend across oceans, across continents. I want no. I deserve more.

So much more. Can you be a little more specific? Father was a grand papa buster. The whole town of Salem feared Stephan o Damara. The world feared him and all of his other offspring have had their shot at emulating him. Now it’s my turn. Oh, okay. So now you want to be your father’s daughter, do you? I am my father’s daughter, and just as the Phoenix making Tamara is rising again.

To state the painfully obvious, Megan Hathaway doesn’t hold a candle to you. My stunning cunning wife to be. I love it when you say those words. Stunning, cunning, uh, wife. To be,

I can’t wait till we drop those final two words. You have no idea how long I’ve been dreaming about this. Yeah. What Running Gabby Sheik vacations in Hawaii sipping champagne in for his class. All of that is fun. Yes. But what, what truly matters is that we’re together again, how lucky we are and we can have it all.

You and I, all of it. I mean, think about it. We’re gonna be Salem’s Power Couple you formidable on your own, US Unstoppable as a team. Oh yeah. And what a team we are. My husband’s fee.

So in a nutshell, you are aspiring to take over the world. Have I got that right? I am not being delusional or grandiose. Kristin, I’m dead serious. I’ll start with sailor one bite out of the corporate pie at a time. Okay. You know, this is a very expensive undertaking and unlike father, you don’t hold the purse strings to damara.

Oh, must you wanna slide into Jeff Bezos, whose uh, dms. Cute. But no, I won’t be needing to bear money. I have another plan.

Abes missing. Yeah. And the psychopath that attacked him, Colin Bedford, apparently he escaped from police custody and he’s out there somewhere impersonating a cop. Do the police think that Abe’s attackers the one who took them? Well, that’s their leading theory at the moment. They have nothing else to go on.

What can I do to help? Well, I, you know, I think that the police need more manpower. Jada is just pulled in, well, a lot of different directions. How so? Well, her sister, for one, was arrested. For being in cahoots with this Bedford guy in cahoots. How? Look, I don’t know all the details. All I know is that we want Abe found.

I mean, he is relatively stable, but he had a serious head injury and I’m just worried that he’s not gonna get the care that he needs. I take it, mayor Carver’s a good friend of yours. He’s more than just a friend. He’s really family. You look tired. You need to get something to eat. I will. But you know, I, I, I, I hate to say I have to leave, but I just came here to pick up a couple things.

I need to get back to the hospital and brief the board. Sorry, one second. Oh, and the test results I’ve been waiting for rn, so hey. Hey. Are you okay? Yeah, I now that

I told son, I loved her. That means she said it first and then next thing you know, I set it back. Well, you, you wouldn’t have said it if you didn’t mean it. I did mean it in the moment. Well, maybe you didn’t mean it was an undying kind of love.

Oh, honey, I know you, I know how much you want a family. And when that happened, you’re gonna be a spectacular father.

But if this baby is yours, do you think you want to raise it with Nicole while she’s still with ej? Or are, are you thinking that maybe the two of you will, I don’t know, reunite and raise the baby together?

Ej, this is not about me wanting to go back to Eric or, or, or keeping my options open then. Then, what is it about? I was so desperately hoping to tell you that we were having a baby together, so then you wouldn’t have to deal with this uncertainty and anxiety. That has pretty much consumed me for the last few weeks.

Especially since there’s a good chance that I, I might not be able to carry this pregnancy to term.

Have you, have you spoken to a doctor yet? I mean, surely there have been some medical advances. When you were last pregnant? Yeah, I, I know I have been, and now I, I haven’t made an appointment with a specialist because I’ve, I’ve just been taking everything. One step at a time,

and I am curious, but how did Eric find out?

Sloane Peterson told him. Sloane knows she found out by accident. Ugh. Who else? Nicole. Who else knew before itis? I confided in Anna and she accidentally told Tony,

oh God, I feel like such a fool. No, AJ it was only gonna be for one more day. I’m, I’m seven weeks along now, and I, I had the test run and we’re gonna find out the results really soon. And how is that possible? Don’t you need a sample from me and Eric? No, just one of you. I was gonna swab your cheek while you were sleeping, but you went outta town.

So Sloane got a sample from Eric.

Nicole, Kayla. Hi. I have your test results.

You know what I wanna do in our honeymoon? What’s that? This, I just wanna be in bed with you all day.

Love the way your mind works. I can’t believe we’re actually gonna have a honeymoon this time and wedding cake, more than two guests in attendance. Right. How long do you think it’ll take, by the way, I mean, to plan the wedding that you’ve always dreamt of? I mean, it’s already been four years and that has been enough waiting for me.

Right. Yeah. Me too. But, hmm. And you really think we could afford to get away from Dara right now? I mean, yeah, taking over Dara is important to me, but marrying you, it’s everything. The most important.

What are you thinking?

I’m just, we don’t even have the divorce degree yet. The papers are signed. Have it day now. Yeah, day. Why don’t we get the feeling that you’re looking for reasons to put off the way.

Oh, I love a good get rich, quick scheme, just like the next person. So share. Megan, what do you have on your mind? You’ll find out soon enough. Wait, you don’t trust me. I trust you more than just about anyone. Ah, which means not very much am I right. You’ll have all the necessary details, my dear. When the time is right, I want to make sure that everything is in place first for when Bo regains consciousness father called Marlene, his Queen of the night.

Beau is going to be my queen, and together we are going to, okay, just time out. Time out. I mean, I’m sorry to interrupt your little fairytale, but what is my role in all of this? It is a vital one, of course. Oh, a vital one is, is that all you can say? I mean, that’s just as much as good as the proposal that you threw into the fire.

I am not trying to appease you, Kristin. You and I both know that you are not gonna have the time or the dedication to devote to this project as I do, given the fact that you have a young child that said, I very much need you. You are paramount to all of this. You’re damn right. I am. And I’m gonna make something clear.

I will not be sidelined, duly noted. And also, I’m gonna want something from you in return.

Well, can we come meet you now please? Yes, I’m on my way to the hospital and I have the next 30 minutes free. I’ll be there.

Why she couldn’t give you the results over the phone. What about checking the patient portal? I was actually hoping you’d come with me, hear the results. When? When I do.

I’ve been agonizing over this for weeks and now that you finally know I was, I was hoping we could go through this together no matter what.

I know that I’ve been rather harsh with you over all this, me not having known sooner.

But I want to be clear with you, Nicole,

nothing would make me happier than having a child with you.

Thank you.

That means so much to me.

Show me, ah, there’s, there’s just. One thing I have to do first, what is the point of all these hypothetical questions? It won’t mean anything if I’m not the baby’s father. I disagree. I think you need to be honest about your feelings regardless of what the test shows. And darling, if you’re still harboring some ideas that you and Nicole will get back together.

I think you need to look at that.

It’s Nicole.

She wants me to meet her at the hospital.

Guess this is the moment of truth.

Of course. No, of course. I wanna marry you as soon as possible. Okay, then what’s going on? I guess I’m a little gun shy after my last wedding turned into a farce, after, you know, 30 minutes. Okay, look at me this time. It’s gonna be perfect. All I know is I’m grateful every single day for the second chance,

first wedding, when a was. Marrying us downstairs. That was on July 31st. So if we pick that same day, we’ll only have one anniversary to remember. Oh, July 31st, huh? That’s um, mm-hmm. That’s eight weeks away. I know. You sure? That’s enough time. Of course. It’s enough time. Come on, I’m gonna make this an event to remember and for.

All the right reasons this time. I hope so

very well, Kristen. Tell me what this one condition is. Well, as you know, Brady has full custody of Rachel and he is held bent on keeping her away from me at all costs. Now, I asked several lawyers to revisit the case. They all refused me and I’m just sick and tired of hearing the word no. So I want these nefarious plans of yours to include my getting full custody of Rachel.

For good this time custody that is so pedestrian. Have you considered kidnapping her? Please Look, I know you have moved heaven and earth to be with your son, right? Yes, I have.

What’s on your mind? I’m just a bit concerned about Dimitri after he made sure that our. Immunity was included in his immunity deal. He was meant to come straight back to Salem. Haven’t heard from him. It was under the impression that he unitized everywhere. My son is an ex I s A agent. He’s an imposter.

Or be that as it may, if he doesn’t want to be found, he won’t be. Why would he not wanna be found? Well, I know for a fact the Alama family were desperate to get him back into custody, and I just hope that they haven’t intercepted him somehow. Call your jet’s mother. Your son’s right here.

Well, it’s like old home week here in Salem. All the villains passed and present co convening to make trouble. So I don’t have any more time to chew the fat with you, Michaels. I’ve really gotta get ahold of my partner, John, so we can get out there and find Abe. I’d really like to help if I can. Thanks. But we’re good.

Are you sure about that? Because if you’re out there looking for Abe, who can keep an eye on Megan 24 7. We got this. Michaels. Okay. Message heard loud and clear. I’ll go,

but, uh, see if, if you change your mind. My offer still stands,

ej are, are you okay? I don’t understand why you felt it necessary to summon Eric. Because I promise I would tell him when the results came in, and I wanna do this one time and then have it over with.

Well, uh, nothing yet. Kayla’s gonna meet us here in a few minutes. Well, I’m not in any suspense actually. Odds are strong. You want the father given that you only had sex when Nicole Once recently. Yeah. Well recently is what counts in this case, wouldn’t it? And since Nicole and I are now living together and enjoying each other for quite some time now, well stop it.

Just stop.

This is not some sick competition. Okay? This is about a, a child, a life. So I need you two to be kind to each other and to me

it breaks my heart that something that I’ve been longing for for so long, something that is such a blessing and a miracle could end. Fraught and painful. So I need you to help me through this. Whatever the results, whoever the father of this baby is. Okay. Can you do that for me please?

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Don’t worry, mama. I’m sure as soon as Abe sees you, it’ll all come rushing back. Oh. Oh, oh my, my God. Well, where is he? Where the hell is my husband? He’s not here. Oh my God. Chanel mama. Take it easy. Oh my. He just, God’s is. I’m sure they just took him for some tests. You wait here, I’ll go check. Huh.

These elevators are so darn slow. But don’t you worry, Abraham. I’m gonna get you out of here. Oh, man. Yes. That’s me, your loving wife, and I’m gonna get you far, far away from this hospital and away from anyone who wants to hurt you.

Who the hell are you? Officer Hetra Salem pd. And where the hell is my brother? You mean the suspect? He got away.

Officer. Officer, please. I need your help.

Hello, Kayla. Hi. Hi. I was just, uh, checking on my brother and Kate. Great minds. I was about to do the same thing. Oh, I know that they’d like that. Oh. But right when I was leaving, uh, will called, so I think Kate’s in a video chat with him right now. Oh, okay. Will some other time. No, I, I don’t, I don’t think that you’ll be long.

I got a minute. You wanna have a little coffee with you? Anytime. How about here? How about here? Um, I, I was gonna ask you about the, um, viral outbreak at the hospital. What? Talking about, well, um, um, Eric wanted to come and, and see Abe, and then he called me to make sure that. Visitors were allowed because of the outbreak on the 10th floor.

Well, if that was the case, I would be the first to know. So I think wherever Eric got his information, they were misinformed. Yes. Well, that was from Nicole. So either she’s misinformed or she lied about it, and I can’t think why she would do that,

Eric. What are you doing here, Nicole? We need to talk. Well, now it’s not a good time. I was on my way out so she could give you this.

Nicole, I know you’re pregnant.

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

What are you talking about? Why would you say that? I’m pregnant? Oh, please stop lying to my face.

I confronted Sloan. She told me what the swab was for. She told me everything.

Damn her. I knew your snick of a girlfriend couldn’t keep this secret.

You had one job, one simple job, and you screwed it up. Did you catch him? Did you catch my brother? Not yet. They’re clothes outside so you can get dressed, so then we can go and try and find the prisoner that you let get away. Go, honey. How could you let this happen? Huh? I mean, I knew the Salem PD was in net, but this, I mean, how could you even call yourselves cops?

Your psycho brother is the one who turned the gun on one of my officers to begin with. Not to mention the fact that you could have stopped this a long time ago. So cut the crop. Has he contacted you? No, he hasn’t. Is that the truth or are you lying to me again? Because you said that last time when you said that you were trying to protect him.

Absolutely not. Your brother is out there. He’s alone and he is desperate. And every cop in Salem is hunting him down. Yes, I know that. Yeah. Well then you should know that he is gonna need some help. And there are two people in this town that he’s gonna contact, one of which is being arraigned for her part in all of this.

The other. Is you. For the last time, Colin has not contacted me because he knows if he did, I would turn him in immediately. The last thing that I want is my brother running around Salem loose.

That seems to be the problem. We, the problem is that somebody stole my phone. I’m sorry, I don’t have time for that. No, no. You don’t understand. This isn’t just a phone we’re talking about. It’s my livelihood. It has my, my contacts, my anonymous sources. Photos of me that I don’t want getting into the wrong hands.

Okay. Well, I’m kind of in a rush. Okay. Uh, hang on, hang on. I just realized who you are. You are a very naughty boy.

Where are we going? Well, I told you sweetheart. The man who attacked you is nearby, and we’ve got to get you out of here finally.

Hi, babe. Where the hell are you?

Oh. Oh. Mm-hmm. Don’t you cry? Don’t you cry, Paul, Lena, you hold it together. Oh, your, your man needs you to be strong for him right now.

I just spoke to the nurses. Abe wasn’t scheduled for any tests, so he should be here in his room. Well, obviously he is not. Where is he?

What strange thing to lie about a, a viral outbreak. Hmm. And you say that, uh, Nicole told Eric about it? Yeah, well, he bumped into her, uh, coming into the hospital and she was carrying one of those. Rapid test kits. Um, and she said that everybody had to have, have, have a negative test result in order to come in to the hospital.

So she said if he wants to see aap, he’s going to have to, well get a cheek swab. Well, in order to perform the test, I’m gonna need a blood sample from you and a cheek swab from the potential father. So if there’s a, a viral outbreak at the hospital, you’d be the first to know about it, right? Yeah. Yeah, I would.

Oh, and it must not be happening. I wonder why Nicole would make up such a crazy story. Well, slums defense, I found out about your boast story from my mother. Oh my God. Marlena knows. No, not that you’re pregnant. Well, then how is she involved in this? Because I called my mother this morning. I needed to find out if I needed a test before I visited Abe.

She had no idea what I was talking about. So I confronted Sloan. She told me about the little bogus story that you two cooked up at the hospital. Mm-hmm. And I bet she couldn’t wait to spill the beans. No, Nicole. I had to pull it out of her. She said, you begged her not to tell me. Sloane should have never known to begin with.

It was a total fluke that she found out. Oh no. Haven’t you, you’ve been making up stories for weeks. What are you talking about there? You were outside of the pub. You just hung up the phone with Kayla. This is the test you were talking about a paternity test. You told me you were in early menopause. I thought I was in menopause and I took a blood test and I found out I was pregnant.

Needless to say, it, it, it was shocking and overwhelming and But why didn’t you just tell me, I promised you you could trust me and you lied right to my face.

Well, if it makes you feel any better, I lied to EJ too.

He doesn’t know that I’m pregnant or that I, I don’t know which one of you is the father.

Listen, we don’t know each other, bud. I think you have me mixed up with someone else. Oh, no, I don’t. I may be terrible with names, but I never forget a face, especially not when as pretty as yours. I know exactly who you are. Well, I need the entire hospital staff working with my officers to get this hospital locked down.

Suspect’s name is Colin Bedford. Have already sent a photo. Now be advised he’s stolen officer’s uniformed and is armed and dangerous. Anyone spots him? You contact me immediately, one of your trigger. Happy cop. Hurts my brother. Oh don’t you. Don’t you threaten me Sloane. He could have cooperated instead.

He chose to do this. Okay. Made things much worse. Ra rape. We need to talk to you please. All right now. Okay. It’s gonna have to wait. Oh, the hell And Will Abraham is missing.

Here we are. My love home. Sweet home.

Um, a viral outbreak. Well, maybe he talked to Nicole about that. Hmm. I wonder if it has anything to do with her. Secret. Secret About what? I don’t know. I was nervous station the other day and Nicole. Was talking to Sloan of all people. Really? I didn’t know they were friends. They’re not friends. In fact, when Sloan walked away, Nicole said she couldn’t stand her.

And I had also overheard Sloan say that she would keep Nicole’s script.

I should have known that Sloan would tell you, or that the secret would come out some other way because that’s what secrets do. And. No one knows that better than me. But this one, I just, I thought if I could control it, then I could minimize the damage because the last thing I wanna do is hurt anyone I know.

I’m sorry, I, I’m sorry. If I have said to you, why are you apologizing? You have every right to be angry. You don’t need to be nice to me. And I’m, I’m not upset because of what you said. I’m, I’m upset because once again, my life is a giant hot mess.

I told you, you do not need to be nice to me.

Thank you.

We, we slept together once when, when our,

we were drugged out of our minds and we didn’t know what we were doing, and we agreed that it was a mistake.

So why would I tell you that I’m pregnant? Cause I might be a father, but you might not be. So I didn’t see the point in telling you or AJ until I was sure. And I don’t need you to hovering over me or or worse trying to kill each other, most likely scenarios.

I know how badly you wanna be a father, and of course you are so incredible with Holly. But having a child of your own, I know that’s been a dream of yours and I am. I saw how devastated you were with Sarah and, and Jada, and I just, I don’t wanna put you through that again.

I don’t wanna get your hopes up for you to find out that you’re not the father. I don’t wanna break your heart, but the truth is, I, I still might. What do you mean? You know, the chances of me carrying this baby to term are practically zero. And if you are the father and I miscarry again, I will be making you experience the agony of yet another loss.

Nicole, having a miscarriage would not be your fault, and I would never blame you for it. You know, I know that in all this time, I’m sure there’s been enough medical advances to help you eliminate the risk.

You know what, and even Kayla, she can recommend a fertility doctor to help you map out whatever you need to do.

It’s just, I, I, I just can’t think about any of that right now. I, I, I can’t think about planning this pregnancy until I know who got me pregnant.

It’s enough.

I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m such a rig.

Don’t apologize. I’m your friend that many of you are friends, right?

Of course.

May I ask us friend?

What’s next? Uh, um, well, I, uh, I needed to be seven weeks alone, which I am today, um, in order to have a paternity test done, but I, I couldn’t get a swab from ej. Yeah, but you have mine. Well, assuming I could use it, Kayla will take my blood and compare your DNA n a to the babies and then we’ll, we’ll know if, if it’s ejs,

bring any bells. Not a clue. This is where we live. Yes, sir. It’s our little love nest. I, I, I know it’s not much, but it’s where we’ve made our home.

Paulina. Yes, she did. What? What’s with all the cats? Oh. You poor dear. You don’t remember our babies? Oh, I’m sorry. I’m, I’m afraid not. Well, unfortunately, I’m terribly allergic to real kitties, and so I’m a crazy stuffed cat lady. And you are crazy stuffed cat man. Oh, well that definitely does not ring a bell.

Oh. Maybe you need to be reintroduced. Okay, Abraham, this is Tasha, Maha and Sasha. They’re triplets and they’re such little rascals, aren’t you? Yes you are. Yes you are. And this is cheesecake. You named him. Remember? I’m sorry. I don’t Oh, well. Okay. Maybe if you hold him. There he is. Go ahead. Can’t tell Cheese King how much you missed him.

You? Pardon? Tell him how much you missed him while you were gone.

I, uh, I’m guessing that you’re not allergic to dust. I think, I think cheesecake could use the bath Abraham. When you were attacked, I was by your bedside around the clock. I didn’t have time to come home and clean, and besides Whitley’s, not much of a housekeeper anyway. Who’s Whitley? I don’t care. Whatever else you have going on, you need to find my husband.

Paulina, please, could you please just calm down? Okay. If Abe is not in his room, he’s probably, when they probably pulled him out for some tests. I already talked to the nurses. He’s not scheduled for any tests. You hear that Commissioner Abraham is missing? I’m going to go look for my husband and you had best do the same.

Oh, you again outta my way. I need to speak with faith about my brother. All right, Pauline, there’s something that you need to know about Colin. Oh, I, I already know I was standing right there when you sent that cop to his room. Now, I assume you have that animal locked up in a cage by now. Well, actually we don’t.

What? You don’t what the hell? We had him in custody and then, He escaped. Oh, honey, I definitely recognize you and I know why you prefer I didn’t. Yeah. Why is that? Well, I don’t think the commissioner would approve of your side hustle pulling double duty as an adult entertainer. I have no idea what you’re talking about.

Oh, come on. I saw you at my friend ATT End’s bachelor party a couple of weeks ago. You gave the groom to be a lap dance, and then you showed everybody your night stick. I thought you were wearing a cop costume, but now that I know that was real, makes the whole thing that much hotter. Listen, I wasn’t at any party.

As I said, you have me mixed up with someone else. Okay, fine. Maybe it wasn’t you that gave that arresting performance, but I definitely know you from somewhere, the gym at the Salem in you were having esteem post-workout, Sam’s help. Wrong again. Okay, fine. Maybe I do occasionally forget a face, but I never forget a nice stick.

We’re done here. Oh, come on. Hang on, hang on, hang on. Get your bloody hands off me. My car. No. What the hell? Well, what’s with the limey accent?

Oh, mg, that’s who you are.

Oh, you know Whitley, she’s the girl that we have come in clean for us once a month.

I don’t remember either. Oh, darling, you have to give yourself a break. You’ve been through a terrible ordeal, and there’s a long road ahead towards your recovery. Now I’m gonna get you into bed and get you some rest, and everything’s gonna be just like I, I I, I, I don’t want any rest. I, I got to figure out what’s happening.

It’s very simple. I’m your wife. I’m a nurse, and when Nurse Paulina says rest is best, you would be wise to listen. Okay. My love. Okay. Uh, but shouldn’t we call Chanel first? Chanel you. Let Colin get away that lunar ticket loose. Well, we’re checking security cameras. We’re going to find him. Okay. And what about Abe?

Oh, wait, wait a minute. They both went missing from the same place at the same time. That can’t be a coincidence. What if that that evil man took my husband? Well, it is. That is possible. Oh, but. My God, if you, if you have anything to do with that. I didn’t. I swear. I just want help the police find my brother.

Now. We don’t need your help of any kind of miserable witch. Okay? Hold on a second. Now, just listen, if Colin does have a, it’s not gonna be a problem. Uhuh, there’s no ifs, no ands, no butts. Colin Bedford is a homicidal maniac, and anyone who’s with him is in terrible danger.

You’re Colin Bedford, Sloan, Peterson’s brother. Would he been your guy? Oh, I’m late for an appointment. Wouldn’t be with the police, would he? Telling him, you run into me. Heaven’s no. No. I wouldn’t say a word. Word, but you could. You could say plenty of words. Sorry. It’s funny, I’m a reporter, but I’d never paid attention to the real news.

I talk about boring, although the other day, my boss, AK and my bestie, who also happens to be from across the pond just like you, she was talking about you and immediately my ears perked up because you are one fascinating man. And now you have a chance to tell your side of the story. You can give me an exclusive interview.

And I give you a chance to be heard, to say things you’ve been wanting to say for years about Chanel, Paulina, all of it. And I promise you people will listen. Yeah. You really think so? Oh, I know. So you hit Abe Carver over the head with a rolling pin. I can see the headline already. The British banger.

That’s you mashes mayor than dishes to Lady W. What did he say?

This baby is mine. Eric, I don’t wanna talk about it.

I am with EJ now. And you are with Sloan and we have moved on and there is no reason to talk about this until we know that there is anything to talk about.

Will you me, as you get the results?

Of course, I.

Thank you for this.

Brown. I guess I shouldn’t tret about it. Regardless of how I feel about Sloan, Eric is committed to seeing where this relationship goes, and I am, I’m committed to supporting him. Yeah. Oh, sorry.

Dr. Johnson. Ah, Kayla. Hi. It’s, it’s Nicole. I have. The sample you need to do the paternity test. Great. I can meet you at the hospital now if you like. Yes, please. I, I would appreciate that. Okay. See you soon.

Did you say Chanel? I’m the one supposed to have the memory problems. Your daughter, my stepdaughter? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Of course I know who Chanel is. I know who Chanel is. I just wanna know why you wanna talk to her now. What? She was with me when I woke up and I didn’t recognize her or you and I know.

That, that upset her a great deal. So I, I would like to reassure her the, we left the hospital before I had a chance. Hmm. You’re right. I should call Chanel. I’m gonna call her right now.

Hey, baby girl, Chanel. It’s Paul, your mama? Yeah. Oh, I’m sorry. I’m just getting around to call you. It’s been a crazy day and I’m finally getting a chance to catch my breath. Mm-hmm. Yes.

Breathe, mama. Breathe. How can I just lie in this bed when my husband is in the clutches of my monster? Why am I in this bed any damn way? Because your blood pressure and heart weight are way up. So they, they wanna admit you so that they can make sure that you’re, you’re okay. Oh dear. Hey, remember what I said?

We don’t even know for sure that Colin has Abe, right? The name’s tough. He’s strong. He’s gonna fight. He just had brain surgery. How’s he supposed to fight? Mama, listen to me. Abe loves you so much and that love is gonna make him strong and he will do whatever it takes to get back to you. There’s not a doubt in my mind.

Oh baby, I hope you are right, but this is the second head injury Avis had in the past year and I’m, I’m not even sure he knows where. Why would you say that? When a woke up, he didn’t recognize me or mama. He didn’t know where he was. He didn’t even remember that he’d been attacked.

It’s possible. Abe doesn’t even know he’s in danger. Yeah. Yes. Chanel Abe is back home with me. Yes, yes. Everything is fine. Uhhuh. Oh, no, no, no. He’s too tired to talk. Mm-hmm. No, no. He’s too tired to talk. No, he’s fine though. No nurse. Paul has got this. We’re gonna make sure he’s just fine. Yes. Alright. No, no, no, no.

There’s absolutely no need for you to come over. I got this. All right, baby girl. All right. I love you too. All right. Bye-bye. Okay. Chanel’s not angry with me. Oh no, not at all. She was glad that I called to put her mind at rest. Yeah, we were all just so worried that that awful, Mr. Bedford was gonna come and hurt you again.

Let me just grab my notebook so I can write down everything. Ah, look, I found my phone. I guess it wasn’t stolen after all. I’m here with Colin Bedford, ak, the British banger. Is it okay if I call you Colin? Collins, how do you respond to allegations that you’re an unhinged psychopath?

I can confirm that. Tell me again, Mr. Stark.

Hey, Sono was about to call you. Yeah, I just got an alert that your brother broke out of the hospital. I know. I just came from there. What happened? He overpowered the cop that was assigned to help him with his transfer, and now he’s gone. He couldn’t gotten him far. Right. I don’t know. I just hope that they catch him soon before someone else gets hurt.

Anyway, so what’d you end up doing with that swab? I gave Nicole a sample of my dna n. She’s bringing it to Kayla. Then we’ll all know.

Kayla, thank you so much for, for meeting me. Of course, you know how anxious you are for answers yes. You go, uh, I never thought I would be in this position, this stage of my life. I mean, not only pregnant, but not knowing who father is. So, um, will this, will this take a while or No, it shouldn’t. I’ll draw your blood and take that and this DMA sample to lab for comparison and then I’ll get back to you as soon as I know something and then the waiting will finally be over.

Thank God. Sorry.

Hey Peterson, what do you want? A comment on your brother’s escape from police custody. Do you get the news alert on your phone? No, I got it in my face. What are you talking about? Colin was just here dressed as a cop. Well, where did he go? How the hell should I know? I’m just glad he’s gone. That dude is seriously scary.

I was lucky to escape with my life. Oh, and by the way, your brother owes me a phone. Thank you. Oh, hey. Hey Rick. Hey. I just got off the phone from the head of security. They said the hospital’s on lunch phone. Yeah. Colin Bedford’s escaped and Abe’s gone missing. Oh my God. Did you say Colin kidnapped him?

Well, we don’t know for sure, bud. It’s possible. Babe is so vulnerable right now. Listen, what can I do? How can I help? I’ll just be ready when we find him, which we will once we rescue him from a certifiable psychopath.

Positive thoughts. Ooh, positive thoughts. Ooh, mama, you’re cold. I’m here for you and I will be here too very soon.

So what is this? He’s your favorite. Do you remember his name? Elvis? No. It’s Katz Domino. Ah, right. Better. Oh baby. Do you always make things better for me? Yeah. After I make them worse. Oh, you stop that right now? I don’t want you blaming yourself any of this. We have to be strong and brave and optimistic.

You’re right. Mm-hmm. Abe is okay and man, he just has to be, that’s all there is to it. Well, I wish I could say this looks familiar or that any of this looks familiar, but it doesn’t. Oh, oh, Abraham, don’t you, Fred? Everything will come back to you and in time and until then, Pauline is gonna take good care of you.

Well, hi honey. Hi. I just came from seeing your dad and Kate. Are they doing all right? They’re, they’re doing better than All right. They’re sort of making up for lost time. Um, you have a minute to talk. For you. Of course. Anytime. What’s up? Well, I have some news actually. It may be big news. I just found out Nicole’s pregnant.

It could be mine.

Now you are darling.

I missed you. I’ve missed you too.

When did you get back? Oh, a little while ago. I looked all over for you, but I couldn’t find you. Where have you?

Update written by Joseph

Chanel brings Paulina to Abe’s room and tells her not to worry as she’s sure when Abe sees her, it will all come back. They then discover that Abe is gone so Paulina questions where the hell her husband is. Paulina begins to panic while Chanel encourages her that he must have just been taken for tests and she goes to check.

The nurse pretending to be Paulina wheels Abe through the hospital and tells him not to worry because she’s going to get him out of here now as they wait on the elevator. She claims to Abe that she is Paulina and promises to get him out of the hospital and far away from anyone who wants to hurt him.

Sloan goes to Colin’s hospital room and finds the cop handcuffed to the bed. She questions who the hell he is and where her brother is. He informs her that the suspect got away which shocks Sloan.

Colin escapes the hospital dressed as a cop. He walks through the park where Leo rushes up and says he needs the officer’s help.

Marlena finds Kayla at the Brady Pub. Kayla says she was checking on Roman and Kate. Marlena mentions that she was going to do the same thing. Kayla informs her that Will called Kate so they are on a video chat. Kayla and Marlena decide to have coffee. Marlena asks Kayla about the viral outbreak at the hospital but Kayla doesn’t know what she’s talking about. Marlena explains that Eric called her about seeing Abe and wanted to know about the viral outbreak on the 10th floor. Kayla says she would be the first to know, so where ever Eric got his information, they were misinformed. Marlena informs Kayla that it came from Nicole, so either she is misinformed or she lied about it and she can’t think of why Nicole would do that.

Nicole prepares to leave the DiMera Mansion and opens the door right as Eric arrives. Nicole questions what he’s doing there. Eric says they need to talk but Nicole says it’s not a good time as she was on her way out. Eric reveals that he knows she was going to meet Sloan and that he knows she’s pregnant. Eric and Nicole head in to the living room. Nicole questions what he’s talking about and why he would say she’s pregnant. Eric asks her to stop lying to his face and explains that he confronted Sloan until she told him what the swab was for. Nicole complains that she knew Sloan couldn’t keep the secret.

Sloan argues with the cop that he had one simple job and screwed it up. Rafe enters, so Sloan asks if they found Colin but Rafe says not yet. Rafe sends the cop to go get dressed so they can go try and find the prisoner that he let get away. Sloan questions Rafe as to how he could let this happen. Sloan remarks that she knew the Salem PD was inept. Rafe argues that her psycho brother turned the gun on one of his officers and that Sloan could’ve stopped this a long time ago. Rafe asks if Colin has contacted Sloan. She says no but Rafe points out that she said that last time when she was lying to protect him. Rafe warns that Colin is out there alone and desperate with every cop in Salem hunting him down, so he is going to need some help and there’s only two people that he would contact. Rafe says one of them is being arraigned for her part and the other is Sloan. Sloan insists that Colin won’t contact her because he knows she would turn him in immediately. Sloan declares that the last thing she wants is her brother running around Salem loose.

Colin asks Leo what the problem is. Leo says that someone stole his phone. Colin says he doesn’t have time for this. Leo argues that his phone is his life and he has his contacts, his anonymous sources, and photos. Colin says he’s kind of in a rush and tries to leave but Leo stops him and says he just realized who he is and calls him a very naughty boy. Colin flashes back to knocking out Abe at the Bakery.

Abe asks the nurse where they are going. She responds that the man who attacked him is nearby, so they have to get him out of here. She then wheels Abe onto the elevator. Chanel comes around the corner, wondering where the hell Abe is.

Paulina remains in Abe’s hospital room, telling herself not to cry because Abe needs her to be strong. Chanel comes back and informs Paulina that Abe was not scheduled for any tests, so he should be here. Paulina complains that obviously he’s not and wonders where he is.

Marlena tells Kayla that a viral outbreak is a strange thing to lie about, explaining that Eric ran in to Nicole at the hospital while she had a rapid test kit. Kayla recalls telling Nicole that she would need a cheek swab for her paternity test. Kayla assures Marlena that she would be the first to know about a viral outbreak. Marlena wonders why Nicole would make up such a crazy story.

Eric tells Nicole that in Sloan’s defense, he found out about her bogus story from Marlena when he called her to ask if he needed a test to visit Abe because of the viral outbreak but she had no idea what he was talking about, so he confronted Sloan. Nicole bets Sloan couldn’t wait to spill the beans. Eric says he had to pull it out of her and she said that Nicole begged her not to tell him. Nicole complains that Sloan never should’ve known and it was a total fluke that she found out. Eric talks about Nicole making up stories for weeks and realizes what test he heard her talking to Kayla on the phone about when she told him that she was in early menopause. Nicole says she thought she was, so she took a blood test and found out she was pregnant which was shocking and overwhelming. Eric questions why she didn’t just tell him when he promised she could trust him, but she lied right to his face. Nicole says if it makes him feel any better, she lied to EJ too and he doesn’t know that she’s pregnant or that she doesn’t know which one of them is the father.

Colin tells Leo that they don’t know each other so he may have mixed up with someone else. Leo assures that he never forgets a face and he knows exactly who he is.

Rafe calls for the entire hospital staff to work with his officers to have the hospital on lockdown and to be advised that Colin stole an officer’s uniform and is armed and dangerous. Sloan warns about one of the cops getting trigger happy with her brother. Rafe tells Sloan not to threaten him because Colin could’ve cooperated but instead, chose to do this and made things much worse. Paulina and Chanel come over. Paulina says they need to talk to Rafe. Rafe says it will have to wait but Paulina refuses and informs him that Abe is missing.

The nurse brings Abe to her home.

Kayla suggests Marlena talk to Nicole. Marlena wonders if it has anything to do with Nicole’s secret as she was in the nurses station the other day and Nicole was talking to Sloan of all people. Marlena adds that when Sloan walked away, Nicole said she couldn’t stand her but she overheard Sloan say she would keep Nicole’s secret.

Nicole complains that she should’ve known Sloan would tell Eric or that the secret would come out another way because that’s what secrets do and no one knows that better than her. Nicole thought if she could control it, she could minimize the damage because she doesn’t want to hurt anyone. Eric says he’s sorry if he upset her. Nicole questions why he’s apologizing and says he has every right to be angry, so he doesn’t need to be nice to her. Nicole cries that she’s not upset about what he said, but because once again her life is a giant hot mess. Eric gives her a water while Nicole repeats that he does not need to be nice to her. Nicole states that they slept together once while drugged out of their minds and they agreed that it was a mistake. Nicole asks why she would tell him that she’s pregnant. Eric says he might be the father but Nicole says he might not be, so she didn’t see the point in telling him or EJ until she was sure and she doesn’t need them hovering over her or trying to kill each other. Nicole cries that she knows how much Eric wants to be a father and that having a child of his own has been a dream of his. Nicole brings up how devastated Eric was with Sarah and Jada, so she didn’t want to put him through that again or get his hopes up only to find out he’s not the father. Nicole says she does not want to break his heart but the truth is, she still might. Eric asks what she means. Nicole points out that the chances of her carrying the baby to term are practically zero, so if Eric is the father and she miscarries again, she will be making him experience the agony of yet another loss. Eric argues that a miscarriage would not be her fault and he would never blame her for it. Eric encourages that there have been medical advances to help her eliminate the risk and that Kayla could recommend a fertility doctor to help map out whatever she needs to do. Nicole says she just can’t think about planning the pregnancy until she knows who got her pregnant. Nicole cries that she’s sorry she’s such a wreck. Eric tells her not to apologize and that they are friends. Eric then asks her what is next. Nicole responds that she needed to be 7 weeks along to have the paternity test which she is today, but she couldn’t get a swab from EJ. Eric points out that she has his. Nicole says if she can use it, Kayla will take her blood and compare his DNA to the baby’s, so they will know if it’s EJ’s or his.

Abe questions this being where they live which the nurse allows him to believe. Abe looks around and sees the room is surrounded by stuffed animal cats as well as pictures and statues of cats as he questions what’s with all the cats. The nurse questions him not remembering and says that she’s allergic to cats so she’s a crazy stuffed cat lady. Abe says that definitely does not ring a bell. She introduces Abe to the stuffed cats which she names Tasha, Masha, and Sasha and another that she claims Abe named as Cheesecake but Abe does not remember. She has Abe hold the stuffed animal but it causes Abe to sneeze. Abe blames the dust while the nurse claims she has been by Abe’s side since he was attacked so she didn’t have time to come home and clean. She mentions a house keeper named Whitley, so Abe questions who that is.

Paulina doesn’t care what else Rafe has going on and says he needs to find her husband. Rafe asks her to calm down and says if Abe is not in his room, they probably pulled him out for tests. Chanel informs him that she already talked to the nurses and they said he’s not scheduled for any tests. Paulina complains that Abe is missing and declares she’s going to look for him, so Rafe better do the same. Paulina tells Sloan to get out of her way, but Sloan says she needs to talk with Rafe about her brother. Rafe informs Paulina that there’s something he needs to tell her about Colin. Paulina says she was there when Rafe sent the cop to his room, so she assumes they have him locked up in a cage now but Rafe reveals they don’t which Paulina questions. Rafe explains that they had him in custody, but then he escaped.

Leo tells Colin that he definitely recognizes him and why he doesn’t want him to. Leo believes that Colin is an adult entertainer, but he says he has no idea what he’s talking about. Leo claims he saw him at his friend’s bachelorette party a few weeks ago and he thought it was a cop costume, but now sees it’s real. Colin insists that it wasn’t him. Leo says maybe not but he definitely knows him from somewhere. Leo then asks if he was in the gym at the Salem Inn, working out without a towel, but Colin says he’s wrong again. Leo decides maybe he does forget a face. Colin says they are done here but Leo stops him. Colin warns him to get his hands off of him. Leo questions Colin’s accent, but then realizes who he is.

The nurse tells Abe about Whitley, who they have come clean once a month. Abe says he doesn’t remember her either. The nurse says he’s just been through so much and says that she will get him in bed so he can rest, but Abe says he doesn’t want to rest as he has to figure out what’s happening. She tells him that she is his wife and a nurse, so he should listen to her when she tells him to rest. Abe suggests calling Chanel first which she questions.

Paulina questions Rafe letting Colin get away. Rafe says they are checking security cameras and they are going to find him. Chanel asks about Abe. Paulina argues that it can’t be a coincidence that Abe and Colin both went missing from the same place at the same time and questions if that evil man took her husband. Rafe admits that is possible. Paulina warns Sloan about having anything to do with this. Sloan swears that she didn’t and she just wants to help the police find her brother. Paulina says they don’t need her help. Rafe points out that if Colin does have Abe, they can’t be far. Paulina declares that Colin is a homicidal maniac and anyone who is with him is in terrible danger.

Leo realizes Colin is Sloan’s brother and says he’s late for an appointment so he tries to run but Colin stops him and questions if he’s going to tell the police that he ran in to him. Leo says he wouldn’t say a word. Leo mentions being a reporter but never paying attention to the real news. Leo talks about Gwen talking about him. Leo calls Colin a fascinating man and says now he has a chance to tell his side of the story. Leo encourages that Colin can give him an exclusive interview and say all the things he’s wanted to say for years about Chanel and Paulina. Leo promises people will listen and asks what he says.

Eric starts talking about if the baby is his but Nicole says she doesn’t want to talk about it. Nicole states that she is with EJ now, Eric is with Sloan, and they have moved on, so there is no reason to talk about this until they know that there is anything to talk about. Eric asks her to tell him as soon as she gets the results which she agrees to do. Nicole thanks him for the cheek swab. Eric then exits the mansion as Nicole holds back tears.

Marlena guesses she shouldn’t fret about it since regardless how she feels about Sloan, Eric wants to see where the relationship goes and she is going to support him. Kayla gets a call from Nicole, who informs her that she has the sample needed for the paternity test. Kayla says she will meet her at the hospital and will see her soon as they hang up.

The nurse questions Abe saying Chanel. Abe says he’s the one with memory problems and says he’s talking about her daughter. The nurse questions why he wants to talk to her now. Abe says that Chanel was with her when he woke up and he didn’t recognize them, which he knows upset her, so he’d like to reassure her since they left the hospital before he had the chance. The nurse claims she will call Chanel now. She pretends to call Chanel.

Rafe and Chanel lay Paulina in a hospital bed and encourage her to breathe. Paulina questions how she can just lie in a bed while her husband could be in the clutches of a mad man. Paulina asks why she’s in this bed anyway. Chanel explains that her blood pressure and heart rate were up, so they wanted to admit her to make sure she is okay. Rafe reminds Paulina that they don’t even know for sure that Colin has Abe and that Abe is tough and will fight. Paulina questions how Abe is supposed to fight when he just had brain surgery. Chanel assures that Abe loves her so much and that will make him strong enough to do whatever it takes to get back to her. Paulina hopes she’s right but warns that this is the second head injury Abe has had in the past year, so she’s not even sure he knows who he is. Rafe asks why she would say that. Chanel explains that when Abe woke up, he didn’t recognize her or Paulina, where he was, and didn’t even remember that he had been attacked. Paulina worries that it’s possible that Abe doesn’t even know he’s in danger…

The nurse pretends to be telling Chanel on the phone that Abe is home with her and everything is fine. She then tells Abe that Chanel is not angry and is glad that she called. She says they were all just worried that Colin was going to hurt him again.

Leo tells Colin that he will just grab his notebook to write everything down. Leo reaches in to his bag and then finds his phone, realizing it wasn’t stolen after all. Leo then begins recording his interview with Colin by asking how he responds to allegations that he’s an unhinged psychopath. Colin then grabs Leo’s phone, slams it down, and steps on it. Colin says he can confirm that and pushes past Leo as he walks away.

Eric walks past the Brady Pub and gets a call from Sloan. Eric says he was about to call her as he just got an alert that Colin broke out of the hospital. Sloan says she just came from there. Eric asks what happened. Sloan explains that he overpowered the cop assigned to his transfer and now he’s gone. Eric guesses he couldn’t have gone far. Sloan says she doesn’t know but she hopes they catch him before anyone else gets hurt. Sloan then asks what Eric did with the cheek swab. Eric informs her that he gave it to Nicole and she’s bringing to Kayla, then they will all know.

Nicole arrives at the hospital and thanks Kayla for meeting her. Kayla knows how anxious she is for answers. Nicole gives Kayla the cheek swab and says she never thought she’d be in this position at this stage of her life, pregnant and not knowing who the father is. Nicole asks if this will take awhile. Kayla says it shouldn’t as she should take her blood, compare it with the DNA sample and get back to her as soon as possible. Nicole declares the waiting will finally be over as they walk off together.

Sloan walks past Leo, who asks her for a comment on her brother’s escape. Sloan asks if he got the news alert on his phone. Leo explains that he got it in his face as Colin was just there, dressed like a cop. Sloan questions where he went. Leo asks how he should know and says he’s just glad he’s gone because Colin is seriously scary and he was lucky to escape with his life. As Sloan walks away, Leo shouts for her to tell her brother that he owes him a phone.

Kayla finds Rafe at the hospital and questions him about the hospital being on lockdown. Rafe explains that Colin escaped and Abe has gone missing. Kayla asks if he thinks Colin kidnapped Abe. Rafe says they don’t know for sure, but it’s possible. Kayla worries about Abe being so vulnerable and asks how she can help. Rafe says to just be ready when they find him.

Paulina encourages having positive thoughts. Chanel assures that she’s there for her and Abe will be there too, very soon.

The nurse continues showing Abe the stuffed animal cats as he’s left confused.

Paulina tells Chanel that she always makes things better and encourages her to be strong, brave, and optimistic that Abe is okay.

Abe tells the nurse that he wishes he could say any of this looks familiar, but it doesn’t. She encourages that everything will come back in time but until then, she will take good care of him.

Eric enters the Brady Pub and greets Marlena, who says she just checked on Roman and Kate who are making up for lost time. Eric asks if she has a minute to talk as he has some news that might be big. Eric reveals to Marlena that he just found out Nicole is pregnant and it could be his.

Nicole joins EJ in his bedroom. They kiss and say they missed each other. EJ says he just got back awhile ago and he looked all over for her but he couldn’t find her, so he questions where she has been.
