Update written by Joseph

Chloe wakes up in her new apartment and joins Xander in the living room. Chloe praises the mattress and says she appreciates it. Xander mentions that it’s time for breakfast and asks Chloe what’s on the menu.

Tripp makes breakfast for he and Wendy in Seattle. Wendy tells him the eggs are delicious and just what she needed to wake her up. Wendy adds that at home, she usually has a protein bar but she could get used to this.

Chanel comes out from her bedroom as Abe and Paulina are having breakfast in the living room. Paulina asks Chanel about her date. Abe questions what date this is. Chanel asks if Paulina didn’t tell him. Paulina says it wasn’t her news to tell. Chanel jokes that it hasn’t stopped her before. Paulina comments on Chanel getting back in the dating pool. Abe asks to be filled in on who this date was with and asks Chanel who is the lucky guy or gal.

Talia is having breakfast at the Brady Pub while on the phone with Colin. Talia calls it a bit early for him to be checking in. Colin asks how her date was. Talia says it was fine but Colin wants more details. Colin then asks if Chanel is in love with Talia yet. Talia says it’s a little soon for her to be falling in love with her after just one date. Colin jokes about lesbians. Talia points out that Chanel is bisexual, not lesbian. Colin argues that all that matters is that she falls head over heels in love with Talia, so that she can break her heart all over again. Colin adds that he will then start working on the plan for Paulina. Talia questions what he is planning on doing to Paulina right as Jada walks in to the Pub.

Abe questions Chanel’s date being with Talia when she works for her. Chanel argues that unlike Abe, she doesn’t have a policy against co-workers dating. Abe points out that it’s the city council’s policy and he just enforces it but private businesses obviously have more leeway. Chanel doesn’t know if that even matters since her business is still shut down. Paulina asks if the health department has given her anything on when she can re-open. Chanel responds that until the police find out who tainted the biscuits, they won’t even consider it. Paulina tells Abe that they should go light a fire under his commissioner. Abe asks to finish his pancake first but Paulina insists so Abe decides the pancakes can wait. Abe kisses Paulina goodbye and exits.

Wendy tells Tripp that breakfast was amazing. Tripp offers to clean up but Wendy says he cooked and was a great host. Tripp says they are friends and adds that he’s really glad that she decided to visit as he really enjoyed her being there. They almost kiss but Wendy’s phone rings and interrupts them. Wendy sees the call is from Johnny and answers. Johnny says he just talked to Li, who said she is still in Seattle which she confirms. Johnny asks if she’s avoiding him because he thought she believed him when he told her that he only proposed to Chanel because of the drugged biscuits. Wendy assures that she does believe him but says that Tripp just brought Joey home from the hospital, so she felt bad leaving and stuck around to help out. Johnny says that’s good to know and asks when she is coming back.

Chloe questions Xander asking her what’s for breakfast. Xander jokes that for some reason, he assumed she was an early riser that would’ve had breakfast on the table hours ago. Chloe informs him that he assumed wrong. Xander thought it was part of their agreement and asks if she’s forgotten already. Chloe assures that she hasn’t forgotten as she said she would pick up some of the slack of household chores, not that she would do everything and be his cook. Chloe complains that she knew this was a bad idea like Brady said. Chloe then declares that she’s going to pack. Xander stops her and apologizes and agrees that he shouldn’t have expected anything. Chloe says if she agrees to stay, they need to figure out what this arrangement is. Xander suggests they discuss it over breakfast which he will cook for them. Xander says he will scramble some eggs but then realizes they don’t have any.

Johnny tells Wendy that EJ and Stefan need her at DiMera as the place is kind of falling apart with her gone. Wendy doubts that and says she hasn’t made any travel plans yet, but she’ll be back soon. Johnny says he’s glad because he really misses her. Johnny tells her to let him know when she knows for sure and they’ll talk soon as they hang up.

Jada listens in from behind as Talia asks Colin what is happening to Paulina. Colin responds that he’s still working out the details but it’s all part of his plan. Talia starts to ask what the plan is but Jada interrupts so she hangs up. Jada asks Talia who she was just talking to.

Xander comments on Chloe having more time on her hands because she is currently without a job. Chloe threatens to go pack again, so Xander decides they will alternate weeks on who does the grocery shopping. Xander says they need to write out their arrangement but he can’t do it over an empty stomach, so he offers to take her out for breakfast. Chloe accepts and says she will go get dressed, while telling Xander to dust the blinds.

Paulina and Abe go to Rafe’s office. Paulina tells Rafe that they need to talk. Abe hopes it’s not a bad time. Rafe says never and asks what he can do for them. Paulina complains that Chanel can’t reopen her bakery until he arrests Sloan Peterson. Paulina questions what is taking so long and argues that he should’ve arrested Sloan as soon as someone had a bite of the biscuits. Abe states that Rafe can’t arrest Sloan just because of her animosity towards Paulina and Chanel because he has to have the evidence. Paulina argues that the evidence all points to Sloan. Rafe doesn’t respond so Paulina asks if he’s going to tell them that the evidence now points to someone else. Rafe says not exactly. Paulina questions what he means.

Talia claims to Jada that she was just talking to Chanel and that she was just checking to make sure Paulina was okay because she was concerned. Talia asks if Jada has any other questions or if she should get a lawyer since she’s so interested in her private phone calls. Jada points out that she just asked who she was talking to and yet Talia gets all defensive, questioning why that is. Talia tells Jada to enjoy her coffee and walks out of the Pub.

Johnny shows up at Paulina’s place to see Chanel, noting that he checked the Bakery but it wasn’t open. Johnny says he’s sorry that she’s going through this. Chanel asks what was so important that he had to see her face to face. Johnny responds that it’s about Wendy and he was hoping for Chanel’s advice because he feels like he’s losing her.

Tripp asks Wendy what Johnny wanted. Wendy responds that he was just wondering when she was coming back to Salem, which made her think that maybe she should go back today and book a flight. Tripp feels that’s kind of sudden. Wendy points out that Joey is getting better and she does have a job. Tripp notes that she could continue working remotely. Wendy feels he’s upset. Tripp brings up that they said they would go on one date and if there was nothing between them, they would just be friends but he felt something on their one date that he thinks is great. Tripp adds that it seemed like she felt it too, so he doesn’t want her to leave and he really wants her to stay.

Chanel asks why Johnny thinks he’s losing Wendy. Johnny points out that Wendy is still in Seattle and is in no hurry to come home. Chanel questions if she’s not still upset about him proposing to her and says that can’t be the reason she is staying. Johnny explains that is why he’s pretty sure the reason is Tripp.

Wendy questions Tripp wanting her to stay in Seattle and asks if he’s moving here. Tripp responds that he’ll be back in Salem too but he promised Steve and Kayla that he would look after Joey until he got back on his feet, so it should only be a few more weeks. Tripp says if Wendy stayed, they could see where things go without all the typical Salem distractions. Tripp states that they could just be together. Wendy responds that she can’t because she can’t work remotely for weeks on end. Wendy adds that Li has been lost lately now that he’s given up on Gabi, so she needs to be there for him. Tripp assumes she needs to be there for Johnny too and that Johnny is why she’s so anxious to get back to Salem now. Tripp guesses it means that Wendy is choosing Johnny.

Chanel questions why Johnny thinks Wendy is staying in Seattle because of Tripp. Johnny says that Wendy told him that she was staying to help Tripp take care of Joey. Chanel feels that’s reasonable. Johnny complains that it’s the perfect way for Tripp to weasel his way in to Wendy’s heart. Johnny wonders if he should fly to Seattle to try to woo her back. Chanel advises against him smothering her. Chanel compares it to West Side Story and suggests Johnny play it cool. Johnny argues that he’s the opposite of cool. Chanel asks him to fake it so he doesn’t come off as needy and desperate. Chanel promises if Johnny lies low, Wendy will be happier when she does come back. Johnny decides she’s right and thanks her for the advice. Johnny apologizes for just coming in and dropping all his problems on her, especially when she’s going through her own stuff right now. Chanel says she could use the distraction but notes that there is one good thing in her life right now and reveals that she had a date last night. Chanel knows it seems soon since she and Allie just broke up recently, but she found out that Allie is seeing someone in New Zealand so she feels she should move on too. Johnny asks who the date was with last night.

Talia goes to Colin’s motel room. He tells her to text when she is close because he doesn’t want her waiting in the hallway. Talia tells him to relax as she was only waiting for five seconds. Colin feels it’s better to not take any chances and asks if Jada heard anything. Talia says she told her that she was talking to Chanel and she thinks that she bought it. Talia then points out that Colin still hasn’t told her what he plans to do about or to Paulina. Colin informs her that he has come up with a plan. Colin brings up Paulina’s panic attacks and hoped that since Talia is a doctor, she might know how to cause them.

Xander and Chloe go to the Brady Pub where they see Jada. Chloe greets her and Xander calls this a happy coincidence since Jada can update them on their investigation. Chloe doesn’t want to interrupt while Xander asks if Jada has arrested Sloan yet because Chloe almost ingested one of the biscuits and things could’ve gotten ugly. Jada responds that things did get ugly for a lot of people. Jada tells Chloe that she’s sorry that happened but she is not at liberty to discuss an ongoing investigation. Xander hopes that doesn’t mean it’s moving slowly as he would think she would want to close the case sooner than later. Jada comments on Xander having a lot of opinions on a case that seemingly doesn’t concern him. Xander says he’s just speaking as a concerned citizen and says he’s terribly sad for Chanel to have her bakery closed. Xander remarks that Talia is now shacking up at the same seedy motel that he used to stay at, which surprises Jada.

Paulina questions if Rafe has another suspect or not. Rafe responds that he’s not at liberty to say. Abe grants Rafe that liberty as his boss. Abe asks if there is another suspect. Rafe then reveals that at one point, Jada suspected Talia. Paulina is shocked and questions how Jada could even think that of her sister. Rafe explains that when Talia and Chanel told them what happened the night before the biscuits were poisoned, there was discrepancy in Talia’s story since she said she went straight home after leaving Paulina’s but Jada remembered she came home a few hours later and Talia claimed she just misspoke. Abe questions suspecting Talia just because she lost track of a couple of hours. Rafe adds that they also learned that when Paulina thought Sloan had stolen her keys, Talia was there as well. Paulina argues that she would’ve noticed if Talia took her keys but Abe points out that she didn’t notice if Sloan did it. Rafe continues that Talia also had a key made that day and then forgot to turn on the security camera. Rafe notes that as a doctor, Talia would have had access to the drugs that were used. Rafe says considering all of that, that is why they believe she might have had something to do with the poisoning but when they questioned her, she had an explanation for everything. Paulina argues that Talia couldn’t have been involved in something so sinister, shameful, and criminal. Paulina calls Talia a lovely girl with a good heart. Rafe says they couldn’t understand it either, especially with no motive. Paulina can’t believe they even suspected her. Abe understands that Rafe is simply conducting a thorough investigation. Paulina remarks that it would just be so awful if Talia had something to do with this, especially now. Rafe asks why now. Paulina then informs Rafe that Talia and Chanel are dating.

Chanel informs Johnny that her date was with Talia. Johnny asks how the date was. Chanel says they had dinner at the Bistro and it started out great but got awkward and she hasn’t heard from her since, which is driving her crazy. Johnny suggests Chanel take her own advice and play it cool. Chanel agrees and is just in her head about it because Talia has only dated guys before, so she’s wondering if Talia is not that in to her. Johnny asks if Chanel is in to her. Chanel says she thought so and definitely finds her attractive, but after everything with Allie. Johnny understands that she doesn’t want to get hurt again. Johnny declares that if Talia can’t see how amazing Chanel is and how lucky anyone would be to be with her, she’s a damn fool. Chanel thanks him. Johnny decides he’s bent her ear long enough. Chanel jokes that’s what ex-wives are for. Chanel wishes Johnny luck with Wendy. Johnny thanks her and then exits.

Wendy tells Tripp that she’s not choosing anyone and says it’s weird to even think of it like she has to make a choice. Wendy states that Tripp and Johnny are both great guys and very different which is why she likes them both in different ways. Tripp asks if they might still have a chance when he gets back to Salem. Wendy says unless he meets someone else. Tripp says that won’t happen. Wendy hopes he does because then they’d be even as he would have to make a choice too. Tripp responds that he’s already made one. Tripp chooses to have hope that Wendy will come around to see that they are right for each other. Wendy says she can’t predict the future, but says maybe she will come around to see that. Tripp says as long as he’s not out of the running. Wendy assures he’s definitely not.

Colin asks Talia if there is some kind of medication to induce panic attacks but Talia says it doesn’t work that way, so Colin decides they’ll have to think of another plan then. Talia questions if he plans on hurting Paulina. Colin tells her not to worry about that and to just focus on turning up the heat level on Chanel. Colin encourages her to touch her gently and find ways to get close to her. Colin bets Chanel will fall in love with Talia just by being in her presence. Colin assures that it won’t be much longer as once Paulina and Chanel have paid for what they did to his mother, then they can move on with their lives and focus on making each other happy. Colin tells Talia that he loves her so much as they kiss.

Jada questions Xander seeing Talia at a motel. Chloe confirms that they ran in to her when she was leaving her room. Jada says that Talia doesn’t live in a motel. Xander asks how she knows. Jada explains that Talia is her sister and actually lives with her upstairs. Xander remarks that it must mean that Talia is just hooking up with that obnoxious Brit. Chloe and Jada question who that is. Xander explains that when he went back for the rest of his stuff, he ran in to this guy who was an absolute jerk and when he mentioned that he saw Talia coming out of his room, he denied even knowing her. Jada asks for his room number. Xander says maybe he shouldn’t have brought this up since who Talia hooks up with is her business. Jada agrees but says she would really appreciate if he could make it her business. Xander then informs Jada that it was room 106 so Jada then hurries out of the Pub.

Wendy books her flight to leave in 2 hours and packs her bags. Tripp offers to take her to the airport but Wendy tells him to stay and take care of Joey as she already called a ride share. Tripp says Joey can be alone for a bit as he thought they could say goodbye there. Tripp then admits he was planning to have the whole romantic airport scene like Casablanca. They talk about not remembering if there was a kiss in that scene but they agree that it was romantic regardless. Wendy asks why their romantic scene has to be at the airport and why it can’t just be right here, right now. Tripp agrees and they kiss until Wendy gets a text that her ride has arrived. Tripp says he hopes to see her soon. Wendy responds that they’ll always have Seattle and kisses him goodbye as she then exits.

Chanel tells herself that she has to play it cool but then she gives in and calls Talia. Chanel leaves a voicemail, saying she just wanted to tell her that she had a really nice time last night but there’s no pressure if she’s not into it and they can just go back to being friends. Chanel hangs up and Talia then shows up at her door with pink roses.

Xander and Chloe have breakfast at the Pub. Xander comments on not expecting her to order the lumberjack special with extra bacon. Chloe agrees to share with him. Xander points out that Jada didn’t even get to finish her breakfast since she raced out so quickly. Chloe wonders if Jada went straight to that gross motel. Xander says Jada doesn’t strike him as the overprotective type, but she did seem awfully interested in the guy that Talia has been with.

Colin sits in his room and sends a text until there’s a knock at the door. Colin asks who is there. Jada says it’s the police.

Abe and Paulina talk at the police station about Rafe checking with forensics for any new evidence. Paulina hopes Sloan slipped up and left some DNA behind. Rafe comes back and announces they unfortunately didn’t find anything. Paulina is then shocked by a text message she received that reads “Watch your back because I’m still coming for you” as Rafe asks if she’s okay.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Oh my God, it’s you. I take it. You know me. By reputation as we’ve never been formally introduced, allow me to remedy that. Eight Roberts Brady. My name is Dimitri Vanner. And I assure you the pleasure is mine,

Roman. That’s wonderful news. Oh my gosh. That’s great. I’ll tell everybody for you. Yeah. Wait, wait. Okay. You still have to find Kate, but, but now we have reason to hope. I know. I’m so pleased. I’m so pleased. I’ll, I’ll, I’ll, I’ll get back to you. Yeah. Bye-bye.

Oh, hi there. Hey, I was just talking to your dad. Wonderful news. Um, it, it appears that Kate got away from Bo and Roman thinks that she’s alive. That’s that scream. It is great. That’s incredible. I mean, dad must be happy. He’s happy. What, uh, What’s going on with you? Look at me.

Oh my goodness. Uh uh. How did that happen? No, it’s nothing. Mom. It, it’s nothing. I don’t think it’s nothing. I ran into a door.

Okay. I ran into E j’s fist.

Nicole went to the hospital. Why didn’t you say that in the first place? Because I’m still not sure. She wasn’t faking the whole thing. What whole thing? Well, we were arguing and then all of a sudden she grabbed her stomach and claimed that she was having these terrible cramps. Why didn’t you say that to me when you first saw me?

What kind of coldhearted person are you? Hey, I’m the one who took her to the er. Okay. Um, was she seen to, is she all right now? How the hell should I know? Wait, you didn’t even wait with her? Well, Nicole and I are in best season. Come on. Don’t get all bent outta shape. I told her it’s probably gas. He’s a drama queen.

What? Him? God’s name is wrong with you. Whoa. Get your hands off of her.

How can I be pregnant? I’m on the pill. Well, the pill is highly effective. But I’m sure you know that it doesn’t prevent a hundred percent of pregnancies. But the the cramps, why was I having cramps? They were probably just little contractions, which is normal in early pregnancy. They stopped on their own and you’re not spotting.

So I’m not concerned at the moment, but I do think that you should do a follow up exam with your ob gyn given your medical history, especially in light of the fact that you’ve. Had difficulties going full term with your pregnancies and all the risks that go along with that. Oh my God, I did not see this coming.

It’s a lot to take in. Ah, obviously was unplanned. Yeah, it was unplanned and, and, and not just because the pregnancy is dangerous for me and the baby, but also, so what, Kayla, I don’t even know who the father is.

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

Just keep the ice on it.

Was this the result of a ballroom fight? No, I gave those up. AJ punched me. And it took all my restraint not to punch him back. Well, there’s a comfort. Why did he hit you? Come on, please let it go. That means it was Nicole. Now I know why they pay you the big bucks. So tell me what happened. You’re not gonna like it.

I don’t expect to like it. EJ sucker punched me when he found out that Nicole and I slept together.

Save your righteous indignation. Nicole fell ill while she was alone with your beloved, and now she’s making jokes about it. Nicole didn’t fall ill. We were arguing and I was winning, and all of a sudden she got the vapors let her go. Who are you to flinging accusations at? Anyone else? Your knuckles are all red.

Ej. How’d that happen? It was an accident. What’d you knock out this time? No one. Hmm? Were you gonna need to start playing? My cj You have a performance review coming up? I’m not wasting any more time with the two of you. I’m gonna the hospital. Oh, Eric bastard. So is Nicole faking or is she actually in pain?

I don’t know. I, I don’t know. But you know what? If she is sick, I hope it’s serious. So you were with more than one man recently? Yeah, and I’m in a committed relationship with ej. Then why would you do that? I’m sorry. I’m sorry. It’s not of my business. I dunno know why I said that. Kayla, I, I want you to know, do you remember those magic.

Biscuits. Well, Eric had one too. Are you saying that? Yeah. Eric and I were eyes guides and we had a one night stand.

You just have to be firm with him. Julie, tell him, tell him that if that he can’t wiggle his tooth. I know. Tell him if he keeps wiggling it, then uh, then the tooth fairy is not gonna show up. And, and do me a favor and tell him and Charlotte that I, that I love them and, and I miss them both very much. And, And I’ll be home soon.

Um, look, there’s somebody at the door. Julie, I gotta go. Thank you for everything and uh, I’ll, I’ll call you again in the morning. Okay, I will. Bye bye.

Hey, hey, uh, anything new about Bob? Uh, not since he squeezed hope’s hand. Oh, hey, come here. Sure. Kayla said it’s gonna be a long road back for him. Hope and I have been talking about moving him to a long-term care facility. Right. Well, it’s, it’s good to have him back in the land of the living. It’s a shame he’s not recovering faster.

Yeah. Well, my brother’s tough. I’m not counting him out. No, no. Anybody who knows about Brady wouldn’t count him out. That man’s a survivor just like Kate is. Yeah. I knocked on Steve’s door. He wasn’t, theres he, uh, looking for, uh, yeah, he took off a, a little while ago. Did he say where he was headed? I can catch you.

Uh, look. Yes. Um, but, uh, there’s something that you should know, okay? Uh, and I’m, I, I’m not sure you’re gonna like it.

I know who you are. Mr. Vam. Leischner, you’re the fancy cousin to the low lives, Carly and Frankie. He also posed as an I s A agent named Kyle. Somebody. Graham. I take it. Agent Reid refilled you in. Billy told me you had an accent. Yes, but Kyle Graham doesn’t, and I find myself reverting to his voice whenever I speak to Americans.

Tell me how is Agent Reid? I have such fond memories of romancing her as we jetted around the globe about the Issa’s money. Yeah. I know all about the tango in New Orleans, the hot kiss in Amsterdam. The fact is she knows that she was played by you. Actually. She’s forgotten all about you. Wow. I guess I had that coming.

You totally did. Still, I found her quite captivating and now I see where she gets it. Okay. So you know, don’t even bother. You’re immune to my charts. Mm-hmm. Just the way Billy was at the end when she took you down. Agent Graham, your plot blew up in your face. Why aren’t you in prison? That’s my business.

Hmm. Okay. So if you can answer that, answer this, why am I on this lousy boat gutting fish when I could be home in Salem with my loved ones? So you’re telling me that you slept on the coal because? Because we were both under the influence of the tainted biscuits. It was one time thing. We both knew it was a mistake.

Did you tell Sloan? I didn’t have to. She was the one that walked in on us. I thought she’d be quiet about it because she said she totally understood. Like she knows ej. I don’t know why she would bring it up to him, but she did. Yeah, she did total blow to his fragile Malee ego. And he found out about it. I told him it meant nothing and he just wouldn’t believe it.

And did it. Did what did it mean? Nothing to you? Nothing to Nicole.

Eric and I were hallucinating when we were having sex. Kayla, we didn’t know what we were doing. Mm-hmm. Oh my God. Could the drug hurt the baby? I think it’s too early to know that

this is such a mess.

Oh, hi. What are you? What are you doing here? I had to know if you are all right. Didn’t I? Is she.

You know, the least EJ could have done was, thank you for taking a call to the hospital. Yeah, no kidding. She’s working day and night to have us canned. You should had her take a cab. Yeah. Well, I’m not a horrible person. Can’t do that. Even to her. I mean, I was hoping to earn some brownie points with whom?

Cj, what the hell was I thinking? He ball me off for not staying there with her and holding her hand. I mean, obviously that was a big mistake. Mm-hmm. You gonna add that to your scaling performance review? Of course I am. Oh, that reminds me, MI was about to send yours when she started writing in pain. What you mean she didn’t send it?

Yeah, she was just getting her laptop out of her bag. When That laptop? Yeah. That

You thinking what? I’m thinking.

I was high as a kite mom. So was Nicole. What happened was the last thing either of us wanted, look, I’ve been researching the ingredients in those biscuits, and I should tell you there’s nothing in them that would increase libido. Okay, so what are you insinuating? Well, just that you and Nicole have always had a very strong attraction to each other, and you would mean you wouldn’t necessarily regret of co mom.

Of course. Regret as soon as to cold. She’s with ej now I’m with Sloan, and please don’t, don’t ask me why. I think I know why Mom. Nicole doesn’t know that EJ knows about us. Are you sure? Yeah, of course. I’m sure. I’ve called her and she hasn’t called me back. And ej, he was irritated. He was, he was enraged.

I’m afraid that Nicole’s gonna get blindsided. Ej, you can’t just barge in here. Kayla, I thought you were in Greece. I was, but as you can see, I’m now with a patient who happens to be my girlfriend. Gabby said that you suddenly started feeling terrible pain. Wasn’t that terrible? And it’s, it’s over now. You don’t have to worry.

Ej, Kayla could, could you give AJ and me a few minutes alone? Um, sure. Okay. Just make sure you see me before you leave because I wanna discuss your, uh, follow-up care. Okay. Uhhuh. Okay. Let me get dressed now.

Ej, I’m sorry, Gabby scared you and, and she. Should have made so much out of it, but I’m fine now. Well, that’s a relief. Um, does Kayla know why you had this pain? It’s just something I ate. I didn’t agree with me. Obviously a delayed reaction to the biscuits maybe? Yeah. That. That might have been it, but like I said, it was, it’s nothing.

It couldn’t have been nothing Gabby despises you, yet she was worried enough to drive you here and now you are fine. And it was just a tummy ache. I’m, I’m sorry, I, I, I find that hard to believe. What are you saying in light? Well, it’s possible, isn’t it? After all, you lied to me about sleeping with Eric.

God, I’ve kind of called Nicole Honey. I’m sure she will call you back as soon as she gets your message. All right, mom, please don’t try to shrink me. I know you don’t like ej and you don’t like Sloan. I we’re not. Talk about what I’m feeling. I’m curious. How are you feeling at the moment? Not great. Uhhuh is your head throbbing?

Hold still. Let me look at that. Oh, honey, that is not gonna close without stitches. Let me take you to the hospital. Mom, look, you know what? You’ll end up with a scar if you don’t. I don’t care. Or you’ll end up with an infection. If you don’t, you’re a doctor. Stitch it up. I don’t have my bag. This is not exactly a sterile environment and an ER is, it’s full of sick people.

Yeah. But I have some connections there. I could probably get you into an exam room. You’re not gonna let this go, are you? No, I’m not. Let’s go.

So what do you think her password is, Holly? No, that’s, that’s too obvious. Uh, hold on a second. I remember she was typing it in when she was grabbing her stomach in pain. Yeah. Oh, I love your memory. Okay. You do realize that it is highly unethical for me to access and alter an evaluation by job performance, right.

Like it’s not unethical for her to lie about you. That report of hers is probably calling you everything in the book you want. You wanna let that go in. I mean, I know I, I started this whole thing when I hired you to do these job performances, but what a crockett’s become, huh? No, Stephan, listen, everything that I wrote about either Damer is accurate.

Okay. From his annuity attitude for, to his nasty colon, to him letting his mistress from this company for him. You are one of the most ethical people I know. I bet Nicole did put that in her report. Oh, wow. Okay. So she must have actually been in pain because she left the file wide open. Seriously read it.

Scattered, inattentive, possibly brain damaged. What the hell? Okay. Insist on using plural. They in business correspondence. What? What is she even talking about? They is plural. Also fails to use inclusive language such as Latin X. Wow. Okay. Here you go. He’s completely unfamiliar with social media apps and pop culture references, which severely undermines his ability to understand new markets.

For example, he has no idea who the singer Lizzo is. Lizzo Lizzo. It’s Lizzo. Okay. This is not unimportant. Influencers like H can dramatically impact a company’s profit margin. Are you? Kidding me. Wait, wait. You seriously don’t know who Liz is? I, I don’t know. Okay. We’ll have to work on that, but just keep, keep reading.

It’s fine. You’re not gonna believe this. What? What is it? In summation, the Demer family is overjoyed at Stephan’s Recovery, but I regret to say that after four years of being kept alive by artificial means, Stephan is no way prepared to run a multinational corporation. Oh, and here’s a lovely comment. She included from an unnamed employee, wish he’d stayed dead.

Fat bitch.

I am surprised at your reaction, Kate. I made sure that this vessel was both seaworthy and comfortable, and as I was told, that you have spent years of your life studying the finer points of fish. Chopping enough. Okay. Just tell me why I’m here. Hmm. Let’s just say that. Um. You’re of great value to me as a hostage.

Okay, then call my husband and demand a ransom from Roman Brady. Where would he get the money? Is police pension or the proceeds of his cd? Little tavern. Okay. Believe me, he’s quite resourceful and he will find a way, whatever it is, to pay what he needs to to get me back. Are you sure about that? Yeah, I am sure about that because I have friends and I have family that can help him.

Oh, friends and I places Chad Dira is like my son. So why don’t you call him so we can end this first and I can go home.

Okay. So, uh, Harris Michaels is on the case now. Whose idea was that? Andrew Donovans, he thinks that Michaels is our best hope to find Kate and Kate was was taken off the island on a boat. Michaels is a Navy Seal and apparently an expert at tracking ships that have gone missing. All right. My problem with this is I’m not convinced he’s fully deprogrammed, so I’m not convinced we can trust him.

Look what the hell he did with Steven Cal. I understand he kept him in a damn cell. I understand that, but because of him, they were rescued the very next day, okay? I get that you are willing to give him the benefit of the death. If it helps find Kate. I don’t care where that help comes from.

Kayla, huh? Oh my God, I can’t believe it. Oh, I’m so happy to see. What about you? What happened to your face? Oh, it’s nothing. Nothing. You’re bleeding. Mm-hmm. Thank you. That’s what I’ve been saying. Stitches, doctor’s orders. Ah. Mm-hmm. I, uh, I didn’t know that you were home. Yeah. I can’t tell you how good it’s to see you here.

Yes, it’s good to be back. I really thought I, I wouldn’t see this place again. I understand. Have you seen both? Yes. He’s showing some signs of awareness, but it’s gonna be a long memory. We’re all praying for him. Uh, uh, update on Kate. No, and uh, Roman is not gonna give up until he finds her. Stephen Chad stayed behind in Greece.

I just wish that there was more to go on. I do too. Well gotta get this one stitched up. Yeah. Oh, get care of yourself. Yeah. Oh. Oh. Eric, please just, just leave it.

It’s no secret that. I slept with Eric, but that was before. Don’t waste your breath. I ran into Sloane Peterson earlier and she was delighted to tell me every, everything. Well, she’s lying and she hates me, and she would do everything. Confronted what? Why would he? I confronted him on it and he spilled the beans.

I also overheard you on the phone with him the other night. Swearing into secrecy about something. Now I know where that something is.

I would’ve told you, but, but you were high as a kite on those biscuits and it was one off thing that meant nothing. Yes. Yes. That’s what Eric said. But I’d also built up a head of steam and I took it out on him. Oh. And I came home to confront you on it, and that’s when I found out that you were sick and all my anger just dissipated and all I could care about was finding you.

I just. Didn’t think that you would understand

Nicole.

The only thing I don’t understand is why you felt the need to lie to me

because I knew how upset you get it. Given my history with Eric and your history. With Eric. Look, I understand that you may have been afraid, but I got it outta my system when I punched Eric. Gee, did you hurt him? Ah, he’s fine. More or less.

What about you? Just some skin knuckles and a new awareness that life isn’t always under my control, but I am more concerned about you right now. Are you really? Okay. This all feels like quite a lot just for a tummy ache.

What do you mean? I heard Kayla say that she wanted to discuss your follow up plan for IgEs. Really,

Nicole, look at me darling. Are you seriously ill?

No, and, and don’t think that for a minute.

That’s relief. But I know you and I know there’s something you aren’t telling me.

You’re right, ej. There he is.

To this, through no fault of his own, Stephan was completely out of touch with the real world for at least four years, but here’s my part, okay? But in spite of this, he shows amazing attention to detail. He’s also a joy to work with and has fostered a very positive office culture. I hope he stays with the company.

Permanently. Hmm. So what do you think? I think you’re brilliant.

Oh, do we have to finish this now? Well, Nicole could walk in any minute, so, yeah. Work fast. Okay. But I have to get all your good points. Mm-hmm. See, I have to tell them how smart you are and how good you are in business matters. And how sexy and how handsome. Okay. Forget it. Screw

um, it’s a, it’s a patient’s record. You can’t really see that. And you know what? We’ve gotta get you treated. Hmm. I could do it. I, I just can’t do it right this minute. Oh, well I can stitch ’em up, right. Let, let me text the attending physician. Thank you. Yeah. Sale wasn’t the same without you. Thank you. So when the attending, uh, uh, turns up, will you let him know that we’ll be waiting in my office?

I’ll, I’ll do that. Thanks. Take care. Thank you. Mm-hmm.

Ej, I don’t know why this is so hard to tell you. Tell me what.

Kayla. Thanks that I’m in the early stages of menopause. Oh,

and that’s it.

That’s it. And you’re upset? Well, yeah. Because it’s came as such a surprise and I’m not ready. I want to let you know that there is nothing that will make you less beautiful or desirable to me. Right? Until you’re fanning me with magazines because I’m having hot flash. Stop it. Stop it. Stop it.

I am just relieved that it isn’t anything more serious.

You have told me everything. Yes.

Yes. Don’t worry about me, ej. I’m healthy and that is the truth.

You know, Chad, damn. I mean, I, I drive myself nuts trying to figure out what the hell happened to Kate. And then I have thoughts like, damn, it’s windy out on that ocean. What if she’s in a small boat at Capsized and San? You can’t go down that road. What if she’s marooned out there by herself? We don’t even know where in the hell to start.

Look, okay, listen. Michael’s has old friends that are coast guards. They’re helping him. Okay, good. Good idea. I like that. Roman, you can do things that we can’t. Okay. We’re gonna find her. All right. She’s cheated that three times since this nightmare started. She’s alive. Okay. I can, I can feel it in my bones.

Thank you for saying that, and I hope you’re right. But I wanna say something to you, Chad. I’m sorry. I have no right to lay my troubles on you of all people, John, Steve, and I. We have had a chance with the women. We love Roman. Listen to me. I need you to keep the faith nice. Try Kate. But I’m not calling Chad Dira or anyone else who can track me on my phone.

You haven’t heard of a burner phone? I’m not ready to make my demands known. There’s still many factors at play. Much factors. You being here is not just a random occurrence. You do know that Well, I know that now. Good, good. You escaping that island and winding up in this little fishing boat with yours.

Truly, it’s all part of a much larger plan.

Well, why can’t I be in on that much larger plan? I mean, who am I gonna tell the fish all in good time? But for now, how about a. Tango. Let’s see how you measure up to your lovely Don at the Don’t touch me. I wouldn’t dance with you if you were the last person on earth. Okay. As you wish.

Back to the fish you go.

Okay. Well, looks like I’m ready to send you. Same. Go for it.

All right. Looks like the board is gonna get a glowing review of your work from Nicole an a scathing thumbs down review of AJ’s work from me and in the board’s, endless dysfunction. They’ll probably ignore both. Hopefully not, but you know what? At least we’ve taken the first step. You and I are gonna run this company now.

Where were we?

I think we should do this in private. Yeah. Mm-hmm.

Oh, Eric, what are you doing here? Reading stitches match. Remember when you sucker punch me, it brings you here. Oh, I had my hand looked at anyways. I’m sure you’ll be glad to hear that Nicole and I talk things through. We both understand that your little one night stand meant absolutely nothing to her. So let’s just pretend it.

Didn’t happen, shall we? Sounds good to me.

Thanks for warning me, Eric. That is too late. Well, I should probably delete this.

Hey, uh, how did it go with ej?

He knows I slept with Eric. How did he find out? Eric’s new girlfriend, Sloane Peterson. I see. Did you tell him you’re pregnant? No. No, I, I told him I was going through early stages of menopause and I won’t tell Eric either. And as of now, this has to be my decision. Just so you know, I just ran into Eric in the nurse’s station.

He’s here. Yes. But I didn’t even hint that you were in the building. Thank you, Kayla. I, I went through my calendar and I still don’t know who the baby’s father is. How long until I can find out? Well, we could do a vaginal ultrasound, but I don’t think it’s gonna tell you anything different. In a few weeks we could do a blood test that would be definitive, but you’re gonna have to get a DNA sample from one of these perspective fathers.

Okay. How you holding up?

There are so many things. Going through my head, not until I find out whose baby I’m carrying, aside from you and me, no one can know that I’m pregnant.

Update written by Joseph

Kate meets the boss of the boat and it turns out to be Dimitri Von Leuschner, who says that Kate must know him by reputation because they’ve never been formally introduced but the pleasure is all his.

Marlena goes to the Brady Pub while on the phone with Roman. Marlena says that’s great news and she’ll tell everybody. Marlena knows he still has to find Kate but now they have reason to hope. Marlena says she’ll get back with him soon as they hang up. Marlena then finds Eric seated alone and excitedly tells him that Roman found out that Kate got away from Bo, so he thinks that Kate is alive. Eric says that’s great but Marlena can tell something is wrong. Eric slowly turns towards her, revealing the cut on his face. Marlena asks how that happened but Eric claims it’s nothing and that he ran in to a door. Eric then admits it was EJ’s fist.

At the DiMera Mansion, EJ questions Gabi not telling him in the first place that Nicole went to the hospital. Gabi talks about being not sure that Nicole wasn’t faking the whole thing of having cramps. EJ questions what kind of cold hearted person she is. Gabi argues that she’s the one who took Nicole to the ER. EJ asks if she’s alright now but Gabi doesn’t know since she didn’t wait there. Gabi calls Nicole a drama queen and goes to leave but EJ grabs her and questions what is wrong with her. Stefan then walks in and tells EJ to get his hands off of Gabi.

At the hospital, Nicole asks Kayla how she can be pregnant when she’s on the pill. Kayla responds that the pill is highly effective but doesn’t prevent 100% of pregnancies. Nicole questions why she was having cramps. Kayla guesses they were little contractions which are normal in early pregnancy, so she’s not concerned at the moment. Kayla suggests a follow up with her OB/GYN due to her medical history and past pregnancies. Nicole admits she did not see this coming. Kayla understands it’s a lot to take in and that it was unplanned. Nicole adds that it’s not just because the pregnancy is dangerous for her and the baby, but she doesn’t even know who the father is.

Marlena asks if Eric had a bar room fight with EJ. Eric says he gave those up and that EJ punched him while it took all of his restraint not to punch him back. Marlena questions why EJ hit him. Eric asks her to let it go. Marlena guesses it was Nicole and asks what happened. Eric says she won’t like it as he reveals that EJ sucker punched him when he found out that he and Nicole slept together.

EJ complains to Stefan that Nicole fell ill while alone with Gabi and now Gabi is making jokes about it. Gabi argues that it only happened after she was winning their argument. EJ grabs Gabi and questions her flinging insults at anyone else while Stefan warns him again to let her go. Gabi notices EJ’s knuckles are all red and asks how that happened. EJ claims it was an accident. Stefan asks who he knocked out this time. EJ claims it was no one. Stefan reminds EJ that he has to play nice because he has a performance review coming up. EJ declares that he’s not wasting any more time with them as he’s going to the hospital and exits. Gabi calls EJ an arrogant bastard. Stefan asks Gabi if Nicole was faking or actually in pain. Gabi says she doesn’t know but if she was sick, she hopes it’s serious.

Kayla asks Nicole if she was with more than one man recently. Nicole admits that she was but she’s in a committed relationship with EJ. Kayla asks why she would do that then but apologizes and says it’s none of her business. Nicole says it’s okay as she wants her to know. Nicole informs Kayla that she and Eric were high on the drugged biscuits and had a one night stand.

Chad remains in Greece while on the phone with Julie, talking about his son Thomas losing a tooth. Chad tells her to tell his kids that he misses and loves them very much and he’ll be home soon. Chad thanks her for everything and says he’ll call her again in the morning as they hang up. Roman shows up at the door, so Chad asks if there’s anything new about Bo. Roman says not since he squeezed Hope’s hand but Kayla said it will be a long road back for him. Roman adds that he and Hope have talked about moving Bo in to a long term care facility. Chad says it’s good to have him back in the land of the living even if it is a shame he’s not recovering fast. Roman states that Bo is tough so he won’t count him out. Chad agrees that anyone who knows Bo would not count him out because he’s a survivor just like Kate. Roman mentions that Steve wasn’t in his room and asks if he’s out looking for Kate. Chad confirms that Steve left a little while ago. Roman asks if he said where he was heading so that he can catch up to him. Chad says he did but notes that there is something Roman should know and he’s not sure he will like it.

Kate informs Dimitri that she knows he’s the cousin of Carly and Frankie, who posed as an ISA agent named Kyle Graham last year. Dimitri guesses that Billie filled her in which Kate confirms. Dimitri talks about having fond memories of romancing Billie. Kate says she knows all about it but Billie knows she was played by him and has forgotten all about him. Dimitri guesses he had that coming but says he found her quite captivating and now he sees where she gets it. Kate tells him not to bother as she is immune to his charms, like Billie was when she took him down in the end and his plot blew up in his face. Kate questions why he’s not in prison. Dimitri says that’s his business. Kate then asks him why she’s on this boat, gutting fish, when she could be home in Salem with her loved ones.

Eric tells Marlena that he slept with Nicole as they were under the influence of the tainted biscuits and assures that it was a one time thing. Marlena asks if he told Sloan. Eric responds that he didn’t have to because she was the one who walked in on them. Eric thought Sloan would be quiet about it since she said she understood, so he doesn’t know why she would bring it up to EJ. Eric calls it a total blow to EJ’s fragile male ego and that EJ wouldn’t believe that it meant nothing. Marlena questions if it did mean nothing to Eric and Nicole.

Nicole tells Kayla that she and Eric were hallucinating while having sex and didn’t know what they were doing. Nicole stops and worries if the drug could hurt the baby. Kayla thinks it’s too early to know that. Nicole calls this such a mess. EJ then arrives. Nicole greets him and asks what he’s doing here. EJ respond that he had to know if she was alright and asks Kayla if she is.

Stefan tells Gabi that the least EJ could’ve done was thank Gabi for taking Nicole to the hospital. Stefan points out that Nicole is working day and night to have them canned, so she should’ve had her take a cab. Gabi says she’s not a horrible person and thought she would earn brownie points with EJ, but he just yelled at her for not staying with Nicole. Gabi mentions adding that to her scathing performance review and then tells Stefan that Nicole was about to send his when her pain started, so she didn’t send it and was just getting the laptop out of her bag. Stefan points out that Nicole left her laptop and asks if Gabi is thinking what he’s thinking.

Eric assures Marlena that he and Nicole were high and what happened was the last thing they wanted. Marlena points out that research on the drug showed it doesn’t increase libido. Eric asks what she is insinuating. Marlena states that Eric and Nicole have always had a very strong attraction to each other. Eric insists that he and Nicole regret it as he’s with Sloan and she’s with EJ now. Eric adds that Nicole doesn’t know that EJ knows about them and she hasn’t called him back. Eric worries that EJ was enraged so he’s afraid that Nicole will get blindsided.

Kayla tells EJ that he can’t just barge in here as she’s with a patient. EJ points out that Nicole is his girlfriend and says that Gabi said she was in terrible pain. Nicole tells him that it wasn’t that terrible and it’s over now, so he doesn’t have to worry. Nicole asks Kayla to give her and EJ a few minutes alone. Kayla tells Nicole to see her before she leaves to discuss her follow up care. Kayla then exits the room. Nicole apologizes to EJ for Gabi scaring him and says she shouldn’t have made so much out of it, but she’s fine now. EJ calls that a relief and asks if Kayla knows why Nicole had this pain. Nicole claims it was just something she ate. EJ questions if it was a delayed reaction to the biscuits. Nicole says that might have been it but that it was nothing. EJ argues that it couldn’t have been nothing since Gabi despises her but was worried enough to drive her here and now she’s just fine. EJ finds it hard to believe. Nicole asks if he’s saying that she’s lying. EJ responds that it is possible, since she did lie to him about sleeping with Eric.

Eric feels he has to call Nicole. Marlena assures that she will call him back when she can. Eric mentions knowing that Marlena doesn’t like EJ or Sloan. Marlena says she’s curious how he’s feeling and checks out his cut. Marlena worries that it won’t close without stitches so she wants to take him to the hospital, or else he’ll end up with a scar or an infection. Eric argues that Marlena is a doctor so she can stitch him up. Marlena points out that she doesn’t have her bag and they are not in a sterile environment. Eric complains that an ER is full of sick people. Marlena says she has connections and can get him in to an exam room. Marlena adds that she’s not letting this go so Eric leaves the Pub with Marlena.

Stefan wonders what Nicole’s password is. Gabi remembers that Nicole was typing it in when her pain started, so they are able to log in. Stefan acknowledges that it’s highly unethical for him to access and alter a performance review on his own job. Gabi argues that it’s unethical for Nicole to lie about him too and asks if Stefan’s going to let that go. Stefan knows he started this whole thing by hiring Gabi to do these job evaluations. Gabi argues that everything she wrote about EJ is accurate while Stefan is one of the most ethical people she knows. Stefan sees that Nicole left the file wide open. Stefan reads that Nicole wrote that he was scattered, inattentive, and possibly brain damaged. Stefan laughs over Nicole writing that he fails to use inclusive language and that he’s unfamiliar with social media and pop culture like not knowing the singer Lizzo when influencers like her can impact a company’s profit margin. Gabi jokes that they’ll work on that. Stefan reads that Nicole wrote that Stefan is not prepared to run a multi-national corporation and that an unnamed employee said they wished Stefan stayed dead. Gabi calls Nicole a bitch.

Dimitri is surprised at Kate’s reaction when he made sure the boat was comfortable while he knew she was familiar with fish chopping. Kate stops him and asks again why she is here. Dimitri responds that Kate is of great use to him as a hostage. Kate tells him to call Roman and demand a ransom then. Dimitri questions where Roman would get that money. Kate insists that Roman is resourceful and he will find a way to get her back, adding that they have friends and family that can help him. Kate adds that Chad DiMera is like her son, so she suggests calling him so they can end this farce and she can go home.

Chad informs Roman that Harris Michaels is on the case now. Roman questions who’s idea that was. Chad explains that Andrew Donovan thinks Harris could be their best bet in finding Kate since Kate was taken by boat while Harris was a Navy SEAL and an expert at tracking down missing boats. Roman says his problem is that he’s not fully convinced that Harris is deprogrammed or that they can trust him, bringing up what he did with Steve and Kayla. Chad points out that they were rescued the next day. Roman understands Chad is willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. Chad declares that if it helps find Kate, he doesn’t care where the help comes from.

Marlena brings Eric to the hospital. Eric is shocked to see Kayla and hugs her. Kayla asks what happened to his face. Eric claims it’s nothing while Kayla points out he is bleeding. Eric reluctantly asks for stitches. Marlena didn’t know Kayla was home and tells her how good it is to see her here. Kayla admits she never thought she’d see this place again. Marlena asks if she has seen Bo. Kayla confirms that she has and he’s shown signs of awareness but it’s going to be a long road to recovery. Eric notes that they are all praying for him. Marlena asks if there’s any update on Kate. Kayla says no, but Roman will not give up until he finds her. Kayla adds that Steve and Chad stayed behind in Greece but she wishes there was more to go on. Marlena hugs Kayla and tells her to take care of herself. Kayla accidentally drops her folder on Nicole so Eric goes to pick it up but Kayla quickly tells him to just leave it.

Nicole tries to lie to EJ but he tells her not to waste her breath because Sloan was delighted to tell him all about it. Nicole argues that Sloan is lying because she hates her but EJ reveals that he confronted Eric on it and he confirmed it. EJ adds that he also overheard her on the phone with Eric the other night, swearing him to secrecy on something and now he knows what that something is. Nicole says she would’ve told him. EJ goes over what Eric said about them being high and it being a one time thing that didn’t mean anything. EJ explains that he had built up a head of steam and took it out on Eric, then he came home to confront her about it when he found out she was sick and then all his anger disappeared and he only cared about finding her. Nicole admits that she just didn’t think that EJ would understand. EJ responds that the only thing he didn’t understand is why she felt the need to lie to him. Nicole says she knew how upset he would get given their history with Eric. EJ understands she may have been afraid but he got it out of his system when he punched Eric. Nicole asks if she hurt him. EJ says he’s fine. Nicole asks what about him. EJ says he just has skinned knuckles and a new awareness that life is not always under his control. EJ adds that he’s more concerned about her and asks if she’s really alright as this all feels like quite a lot just for a stomachache. Nicole asks what he means. EJ mentions hearing Kayla say that she wanted to discuss her follow up plan and questions that being for indigestion. EJ asks Nicole if she is seriously ill. Nicole says no and tells him not to think that for a minute. EJ calls that a relief, but he knows there’s something she’s not telling him which she admits.

Gabi alters Nicole’s evaluation of Stefan to praise him as showing amazing attention to detail, being a joy to work with, and having a positive office culture. Stefan calls her brilliant and kisses her. Stefan asks if they have to finish this now. Gabi points out that Nicole would walk in at any minute. Stefan tells her to work fast and kisses her neck as Gabi continues praising him. Gabi then says forget it and continues kissing Stefan instead.

Kayla tells Eric that it’s a patient’s file so he can’t see it. Marlena points out that they still need to get Eric treated. Kayla says she can do it, just not at this very minute. Marlena offers to stitch him up. Kayla agrees to text the attending physician. Eric hugs Kayla and says it’s good to have her back in Salem. Marlena says they will be waiting in her office as she and Eric then walk away.

Nicole doesn’t know why this is so hard to tell EJ. Nicole then lies and claims that Kayla just thinks she’s in the early stages of menopause. EJ questions that being it. Nicole says she was just upset as it came as such a surprise and she’s not ready. EJ tells Nicole that there is nothing that will make her less beautiful or desirable to him. Nicole jokes about having hot flashes. EJ is just relieved it’s not anything more serious. EJ asks if Nicole has now told him everything. Nicole claims she has and tells him not to worry about her because she’s healthy and that’s the truth. EJ is thankful as they hug.

Roman tells Chad that he drives himself nuts trying to figure out what the hell happened to Kate and then he worries that she’s out on a boat by herself and they don’t know where to look. Chad encourages that Harris has old friends that are coast guards helping him. Chad adds that Harris can do things that they can’t. Chad encourages that Kate has cheated death three times since this nightmare started and that he feels it in his bones that Kate is alive. Roman thanks Chad and hopes he’s right. Roman then apologizes, saying he has no right to lay his troubles on Chad of all people since he, John, and Steve got another chance with the women they love. Chad urges Roman to just keep the faith.

Dimitri tells Kate that he’s not calling Chad or anyone else that could track him on his phone. Kate asks if he hasn’t heard of a burner phone. Dimitri says he’s not ready to make his demands now as there are still many factors in play. Dimitri adds that Kate being here is not just random and is all part of a much larger plan. Kate asks why she can’t be in on the plan since she can’t tell anyone. Dimitri says all in good time, but for now, he suggests they tango. Kate pulls a knife on him and warns him not to touch her as she wouldn’t dance with him if he was the last person on Earth. Dimitri then opens the door and tells her to go back to the fish.

Gabi and Stefan finish their job evaluations and send them in. Gabi remarks that the board will now get a glowing review of Stefan from Nicole and a scathing review of EJ from her. Stefan jokes that the board could ignore both. Gabi calls it the first step in them running the company as they resume kissing until they decide to go upstairs.

EJ runs in to Eric at the hospital. Eric mentions getting stitches and asks what brought him here. EJ claims he was just getting his hand looked at. EJ adds that he and Nicole talked things through and both understand that their one night stand meant absolutely nothing to her, so they will pretend it didn’t happen. Eric says that sounds good to him.

Nicole listens to her voicemail from Eric and says his warning was too late, but she should probably delete it. Kayla then comes back and asks how it went with EJ. Nicole informs her that he knows she slept with Eric thanks to Sloan, but she didn’t tell him that she was pregnant and just claimed it was menopause. Nicole adds that she won’t tell Eric either because as of now, this has to be her decision. Kayla mentions running in to Eric at the nurses station but she didn’t even hint that Nicole was in the building. Nicole thanks Kayla and says she went through her calendar but she still doesn’t know who the father is, so she asks how long until she can find out. Kayla says in a few weeks, they can do a blood test but she will have to get a DNA sample from EJ or Eric. Kayla asks how she’s holding up. Nicole says there are so many things going through her head, but until she finds out who’s baby she is carrying, no one can know that she is pregnant aside from them.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Uh, this is just surreal. Honestly, I, I, I didn’t think that I would ever see this place again. Wait until everyone sees you. I mean, I’m sure most people know that you’re alive and well, but. Still, just to have you back here. It’s great. It is. Although, I have to say, I am not thrilled that we left your father and the others in Greece, especially since your Uncle Bo’s future is still up in the air and Kate’s missing.

And Mom, this is exactly where you need to be. I mean, how could you just sit on the sidelines when Seth Burns fired you? Yeah. He’s such a little weasel. I mean, we are out there fighting for our lives, and that’s the time he decides to get rid of me. But don’t worry, we’re gonna march into his office and we’re gonna raise some hell.

And meanwhile, Papa, uncle Broman and Chad, they’re gonna find Kate wherever she is.

Hey Steve, where’s uh, where’s Roman? Well, he’s, uh, back at the hospital with Hope. They’re talking to Bo’s doctors about moving him into a long-term facility. No, damn that, that poor guys going through it. Brother. His wife’s missing. Yeah. Well, we need to lighten his load. Right? Come up with a plan to find and rescue gate.

So what’s that? As you know, breakfast, really, you expect me to eat that, so I don’t expect you to do anything but you want to die of starvation. That’s fine with me. The choice is yours.

Is there a problem, ej? Now, why would you think that? You know, I don’t have time for Briddle school. I’m gonna go inside. But do me a favor, try not to annoy our customers on their way in. I, I, I’m not so fast. You and I have a few things that we need to get straight.

What, what is wrong, Nicole? What’s happening? Oh, I felt a, a bad cramp and I, oh. Oh, it’s happening again, Gabby. I need help. Ah, God. Nice try, Nicole. Oh, what are you talking about, Gabby? Can’t you see him in pain? Mm. Actually what I can see is that Meryl Streep you ain’t, what the hell? I definitely don’t see any Oscars in your future because your performance right now totally fake.

Oh, come on.

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

I can’t think of anything you or I have to say to one another. I’m not sure Sloan and Peterson would agree. What you human. Wait a second. Are you talking about those lace biscuits? Sloan had nothing to do with, you know damn well it’s not those biscuits I’m concerned about. Goodbye, Jay. You have the temerity to stand here and pretend as though you don’t know why I’m calling you out.

Pretending. I have no idea what you’re talking about. I know Eric, you know what? That you had sex with Nicole. You’ve sank Pon son of a bitch.

Oh my God. I can’t believe you’re insulting me when I’m doubled over in pain. I didn’t insult you. I just said that you’re nom me street. That’s all. Oh God. That’s great, Debbie. Okay, now that that’s done, can you at least, oh, I don’t know, just help me before I pass out and die. You’re not gonna die. I’m glad you’re so sure.

Can we just drop this because I know what this is about. You want me to let my guard down so that I forget to send my evaluation of EJ to the Demer board, right? Is that what it’s, no, it’s not right. Ah, you want your snake of a boyfriend to remain in charge of Dera Enterprises valiant effort, but it’s not gonna happen.

Sister. I don’t care, Gabby, I need to get to the hospital now. Oh,

oh, oh. The look in his face. I’m never ever going to forget that. Ah, he did look pretty shocked. And all because of Wait, wait, wait, wait. How did you put it? Mr. Ferret? If you don’t reinstate Dr. Johnson immediately, I am going to unleash a viral PR campaign against you in this hospital from which you will never recover.

And I would’ve done it too. I mean, you come back from the dead and the guy decides to sell you out to the board. Well, Seth’s never been that loyal, and I talked to someone in the business affairs office and they said that he spent a friction on a head hunter trying to find my replacement. Seriously.

Mm-hmm. Talk about scummy. Remind me to never get on your bad side as if you ever could. Hmm. I bet he did not expect me to hop on a plane and come here and call him out. Especially with my shark PR daughter by my side no less. I’ll always have your back. Mom and I will always have yours. Ah, thank you. Well, I better go do the job that, uh, we both saved.

Ah, I’m so happy for you and I’m so proud of you. Ooh, ooh. Maybe you wanna go home and get some rest, huh? Oh, I will. I will. But first I have somebody finished business to tend to

whatever it takes to find Kate. I’m game well. That’s good. But, uh, buddy, I thought she’d be heading back to Salem with Stephanie and Kayla. You must be anxious to see your kids. Yeah. Yeah. I miss him like crazy. I’m not gonna leave her without Kate now. She’s like the closest thing I have to a mother. I know.

Well, hopefully we can bring her home safe to all the people who love her.

Is that Roman? He’s probably finished at the hospital.

Michaels.

What the hell are you doing here,

Steph? I didn’t know you were back from Greece. Yeah, we just got in a little while ago. Dr. Johnson. My god, I uh, I heard that you were alive, but to actually see you Yeah, it’s um, going to be back for sure. My dad’s gonna be really pumped that you’re back home. I hope he and Bonnie are doing well. They are, they’re fine.

And, um, I just wanna take a second to tell you how truly sorry I am. What, well, I don’t know if Stephanie told you or not, but, um, I was the reason why she wasn’t there for your last moments that I just thought, um, You know, it really doesn’t matter what I thought. I, uh, I did something really selfish and I’m gonna feel guilty, and I’m gonna feel terrible about it for the rest of my life.

Well, Stephanie told me what happened that day, how she missed the call about me and. How Ill I was, but it turned out that those were not my last moments that she missed. And now thank God I have time to share lots of moments with my family. But I, I, I appreciate your apology and, um, accept.

Is it all ready for come in,

answer my question. Why are you here? Agent Donovan sent me, he thought I could be, uh, of help with the search for Kay. Well, he thought wrong, we don’t want you here and we don’t need your help.

Oh

yeah. You’re really enjoying this, aren’t you? Yeah. Seeing a richer me kind of living like a peasant. Yes. I enjoy very much. Wow. For your information. I haven’t always been rich and I’ve worked my ass off for everything I’ve gotten. See, see, I’m sure you know I don’t have to explain myself to you, do I?

When you gonna let me off? The stupid shit? You has too many questions. That’s because I don’t get any answers. Let’s just say, how do I put, I don’t have the to give you answer. You can bring me to someone who does.

You should really be talking to Nicole about this. Yeah, while I’m talking to you right now when I want answers, ej, is this the part where you lie to my face, where you tell me that I’ve got it all? Ronco ahead. Eric Colo a liar. Is this where you got your information? I should have guessed Lisa girlfriend had the decency to tell me what was going on.

Sloan doesn’t know what she’s talking about. There’s nothing going on between me and Nicole. So you deny that you had sex with I’m not denying anything. Do you wanna know the truth? Alright, fine. Yeah, I did have sex with your girlfriend.

Ah, God, Gabby, if you don’t have the decency to take me to the hospital, I will call an ambulance myself. Ah, wait. Hold on Nicole. Come on. Are you really sick? Really? You’re sick? Yes. I am really, really sick. You Harless box. Ah, okay. Okay. I believe you. Come on, we gotta get the hospital. Oh.

So why haven’t I ever met your boss? Because my boss, he doesn’t want to meet with people. Could you at least give me a name? Finish your breakfast. Would you like me to bring you more fish to clean? No. I’ll pass. Are you looking at this? Looks good on me, eh? Ah, you’re set bastard. Hey, fair is fair. You got your phone call?

I got the ring, my phone call. All didn’t go through the deal is a deal, lady. You know, I still haven’t figured out if I’m going to keep it, so maybe give it to one of my girlfriends or maybe, oh, maybe I’ll cut that ring. Hey, y’all figure, so you’re the reinforcement. Andrew told us he was sending, I’m sorry to disappoint you.

Where is he? He got called when in another case. So you’re here in his stead. I don’t know why my nephew thought we’d ever accept help. From the likes of you, I know that I’m not your first choice. You’re not any choice because you’re the guy who knew Bo was alive and you kept it to yourself. I, Steve, it’s okay.

No, no, no. Just let him say his peace. It’s fine. And Kayla and I were locked up in that carry swine cellar. You didn’t lift a finger to help, right? I didn’t know you were down there. You knew we were missing. And you knew Bo had to be involved. But you didn’t care. Let’s forget about me and Kayla for now.

Let’s talk about hope, about how you didn’t tell her that the father of her children, the man she loved for her entire life was alive. Steve. No, no, no, no. Why don’t we just, no. Bottom line. If this jerk had come forward sooner, my best friend wouldn’t be lying in a coma right now.

Well, it looks like word of my triumphant return is spreading. I already have a patient and that patient is so lucky to have the best doctor on the planet. Oh, you’re a doll baby. I love you. I love you. Thank you again, Alex.

So, so it was good of you to apologize to my mom? Yeah. I don’t expect for it to make up for what I did, but it meant a lot that she forgave me.

So what are you doing here? Is everything okay? Yeah. Yeah, everything’s, everything’s fine. Just going to my appointment with Dr. Evans started therapy, decided to work on my issues. Oh, wow. That’s great. Big step. Yeah, it is.

Well, I should get going. I let a lot of work pile up while I was in Greece. I bet. See you around Alex.

Stephanie. Okay, wait a second.

Such bloody hypocrites. You Brady’s. Sneering at anyone who doesn’t share your middle class values. Your Catholic piety went all the way. You’re just as connell and corrupt as the rest of us. Yeah. Well, if you’d shut it for five minutes, just let me explain. Explain what you’ve already admitted that you slept with Nicole ej.

We were both highest kites after we ate those lace biscuits. We weren’t thinking clearly. We were out of our mind. You of all people should know what had happened to you, and we knew it was wrong as soon as it happened. If it was indeed a harmless drug-induced mistake, why did you keep it a secret to?

Because we knew you’d blow it out of proportion because you’re an insecure asshole.

Hello? Oh my God. Kayla, it’s, it’s you. Uh, yes. It’s Hello, Nicole. I I, I’m sorry if my eyes are bugging out. It, it’s, I mean, I heard you were alive, but to see you I know. It’s strange. I’ve been getting that a lot today. But listen, let’s, let’s talk about you. What’s, what’s going on? Yeah. Uh, well, I, I got these really bad.

Cramps earlier, and I don’t think it’s a bug because I’m not nauseous or anything and I’ve had food poisoning before several times and I don’t think it’s that. So you’re having cramps? Mm-hmm. Do you think they could be menstrual cramps? Oh God, no. I mean, I don’t really get cramps, you know, not like this anyway, but I am due to, to get my period.

Uh, and I have this app that turns my cycle, so we’ll see.

Well, that’s, that’s weird. What.

Hi. This is really strange because my, my ob gyn gave me a new birth control last year, and it’s been like clockwork ever since. Are you experiencing any undue stress? Oh, yeah, for like the last 25 years. I mean, something a little more recent. Uh, well do you, do you think helping EJ scheme against his brother Stephan and the woman he loves is stressful?

Probably more for them. Hmm.

I dunno about you, but is it, isn’t it really hot in here? Nope. I, I feel comfortable. Yeah. Well, not me. Oh my God, I think I’m starting to sweat, huh? Huh? What? Oh, well, uh, your period is late. You’re having cramps, hot flashes. Oh, God, no. No. I am not having hot flashes. And clearly the hospital has thermostat turned out too high.

Uh, well, you know, it’s the first week of May and heat is not on, so I, I think it is. You what? Well, what are you getting at? I think maybe you are entering into menopause.

Oh, I guess I had that coming and then some. You’re talking what happened? As I told you, Nicole and I were both loosing. When we slept together. You did something else to deserve to get punched. Well, I did circuit punch you a few weeks back. So I guess that makes us even, oh, oh, we are far from these. Really, you, uh, you want to keep this going?

In fact, I do. Really?

All right then. That first punch was for free. The second one’s gonna cost you.

You want to do this? Oh, I do. Oh, I really, really do. No, it turns out that the skills required, the sever our finger our fish had are similar.

What do you want? I want an audience with your boss.

I totally understand how you feel. That’s big of you. So I’ll go. Best of luck with the search. Wait, wait, wait. Just wait. No, no, no. Chad. Let him go. We can’t trust him and we don’t need him. What if we do, look, I understand you have your reservations, but what if he’s our best chance to find Kate? If it weren’t for him, me and Stephanie would be as good as dead.

Right now. Thomas Banks would’ve killed us. I think that we should reconsider with all due respect.

Now, before you go, I’d like to ask you something. And I know what it is. You’re wondering if my mom letting you off the hook about that phone call I never got. If that means I’ve done the same. Actually, no, it’s not what I wanted to ask you see, Steph, um, me pressuring you the minute you got back into town trying to guilt you into letting me off the hook as you put it.

That’s what the old Alex would’ve done. Oh, right. And the new Alex. The new Alex is learning that just because I have remorse for all of my actions, it doesn’t mean that the people I hurt need to forgive me. I see. So why did you stop me just now? Because I need your help.

You know, I don’t like to admit when I need help, but this is kind of a special case. What’s going on? My Aunt Maggie’s heading to Greece with my Uncle Vic to go be with Ball. Of course, God, they must be out of their minds with worry. Right? And while my aunt is gone, she left me in charge of this crucial deal for Titan that we have been working on for months.

Okay?

I’m a little anxious about it, Steph. I really can’t afford to screw this up. Like I really can’t. No, I understand. What’s this gotta do with me? How can I help? I have a meeting tomorrow to pitch all of our strategies to all the parties involved. Now, I have been cramming my brain for the data, Steph, but I would feel a lot more confident.

If I had a world class communications expert by my side,

listen Michaels. I am grateful to you for stopping that maniac from hurting my little girl. You, you don’t have to, but it wasn’t long ago that you were responsible for putting her life in danger. If you remember the exploding pizza box, I’m still haunted by what I did to your family and to John Black and his son.

Look, Steve, he wa he was under Megan’s control when he did those things. Like just like you and John were when she ordered you to hijack that dam, Margo on Hong Kong. We’ve both been there. I shot Brady and, and you guys almost hurt your wife’s trying to secure those prisms for Megan, but what about the things he’s done since then?

When he was in possession of his free will. You’re right, you’re right. I knew what I was doing when I, I didn’t tell hope the truth about Bo, and, and I can’t forgive myself for that. So is that why you’re here? To make amends? Andrew thought helping you find Kate, Mike, gimme a small chance at redemption, but I understand why.

You wouldn’t want my help?

Fuck, Steve. I’ll be honest. I I, I, I don’t care if the guy’s handle Hector. If it helps us find Kate. He’s a Navy Seal for God’s sakes, if Kate’s lost that sea, he’s gonna be our best hope to find her.

He’s right Steve. My, uh, my skills can be valuable. So what do you say?

He’s not gonna do thisk. You think I’m blessing? I’m not bluff. You don’t take me to your boss. I’m gonna cut off this finger and okay. Wait, wait, wait. My boss, he’s a very dangerous man. He does not want to be disturbed. Okay. Okay. Okay. I will beg you to him.

More lives and a litter of cats. Sharper claws too. Nicole. Nicole, are you in there? I saw your car in the garage. Hello, ej. Nicole. Nicole? Uh, no. Use yelling. You’re co-conspirators not here. What? Where’d you go?

Menopause. I mean, I’m, I’m not too young for menopause, right? Well, not necessarily. I mean, yes, you would be on the younger side. I mean, the media age is about 51, 52, but there are many women. It’s not uncommon to be in your forties to go through it. Right. Yeah. I, I guess I knew that. It’s just, it’s just what,

I guess I’m just. It’s not ready for it psychologically. I understand what, you know what, maybe these cramps have nothing to do with menopause, so what, maybe we could run some tests. May be okay with that. Yeah. Okay. Sure. I should be comfortable. I’ll get the nurse, we’ll draw some blood and we’ll look to the bottom of this, okay?

Okay.

Alex, if you are wanting me at this meeting, if it’s another one of your schemes to bring us closer together, it isn’t. Steph, I swear to you, it has nothing to do with. That. Look, Maggie and I have been butting heads like crazy, and sooner than later she’s gonna have enough of it. And I feel like this might be my last chance to prove myself to her.

Stephanie, I promise you my needing your help is totally legit. It is strictly business. Hey, I know you’re with Chad. I respect your relationship and your boundaries. Okay, so what exactly what’d you need from me? I would need you to attend this meeting with me tomorrow. Just like I said, just be by my side.

Keep me on track, make sure I hit all the talking points that Maggie already approved, and there’s nobody else for the job stuff. You’re the best. That’s it. And I truly think that my career at Titan depends on it.

Well, Titan is still one of my top clients. I mean, it would, if you close this deal, it would be a big win for SJ p r. It’s a big win. All right. I’ll help you, Stephanie. Oh my God, thank.

Thank you. You are the best. Did you see that? I’m learning step by step. Boundaries. I’ll see you tomorrow then. I will see you tomorrow and you’ll not regret it, I promise. Thank you.

Well, I guess we’re in no position to turn down help. Considering how shorthanded we are, does that mean I’m part of the team? That means you’re working with the team, okay. For now. Got it. But Michaels, I got my eye on you. Any funny business, any double dealing, and I swear I’ll take you down myself.

Nice place. Your boss has. Here.

Who are you son of?

Oh my God, it’s you.

Come on, go pick up.

Oh, uh, that was fast. Well odds that news,

Nicole, it’s me. Listen, call me as soon as you get this. CJ knows he’s on a war path.

Do you know where Nicole is? Hmm. Well, there are so many possibilities. She could be reminiscing about old times with my big brother rave, or she could be sharing hot steamy chowder with Eric Brady at the Brady Pub. I mean, she’s got so many exes, it’s hard to keep up. I’m glad you find this sort of funny.

Oh no, don’t bother calling her the way she’s feeling. I doubt she’ll pick up. What the hell are you talking about? Why wouldn’t she pick up? Well, she’s at the hospital. Poor thing,

Kayla. I mean, you’re making me nervous. Here. Say something. What is it? Well, you’re not going through menopause. Oh gosh. That’s a relief. I suppose, I mean, like I said, I wasn’t, I wasn’t ready for it and my gut told me that it wasn’t, and for some reason I was just like, no, I’m menopause. In no way. Right. Uh, no way.

Because you’re pregnant.

Update written by Joseph

Stephanie brings Kayla back home to the hospital in Salem. Kayla calls it surreal to be there after thinking she’d never see the place again. Stephanie tells her to just wait until everybody sees her. Kayla calls it great to be back but admits she’s not thrilled that they left Steve and the others in Greece, especially since Bo’s future is in the air and Kate is still missing. Stephanie encourages that this is where Kayla needs to be. They talk about Seth Burns firing her while she was fighting for her life and plan to storm in to his office. Stephanie assures that Steve, Chad, and Roman will find Kate.

Chad reads a text from Stephanie that she landed safely in Salem and misses him already. Steve shows up at his door. Chad asks where Roman is. Steve says he’s at the hospital with Hope as they are talking to the doctors about moving Bo in to a long term facility. Chad feels for everything Roman is going through with his brother in a coma and his wife missing. Steve states that they need to lighten his load. Chad agrees that they need to come up with a plan to find and rescue Kate.

The man keeping Kate on his boat brings her breakfast and tells her to either eat it or die of starvation.

EJ runs in to Eric outside the Brady Pub. Eric asks if there’s a problem. EJ asks why he would think that. Eric tells EJ that he doesn’t have time for riddles and plans to head inside but EJ stops him and says they need to get a few things straight.

At the DiMera Mansion, Gabi checks on Nicole, who complains about cramps and says she needs help. Nicole says she’s in pain but Gabi accuses her of faking it.

Eric can’t think of anything he or EJ have to say to one another. EJ is not sure Sloan would agree. Eric asks if he’s talking about the laced biscuits and says Sloan had nothing to do with it. EJ shouts that Eric knows damn well it has nothing to do with the biscuits. EJ questions Eric acting like he doesn’t know why he’s calling him out. Eric says he has no idea what he’s talking about. EJ then reveals that he knows Eric had sex with Nicole and calls him a sanctimonious son of a bitch.

Nicole can’t believe Gabi is insulting her while she’s in pain. Nicole asks Gabi to help her before she passes out and dies. Gabi laughs it off and argues that Nicole just wants her to let her guard down so she forgets to send in her performance review of EJ. Gabi tells Nicole that it’s not going to happen. Nicole shouts that she doesn’t care and she needs to get to the hospital now.

Stephanie and Kayla come out from Seth Burns’ office and joke about Seth’s reaction to Stephanie warning Seth to reinstate Kayla. Kayla bets Seth did not expect her to fly in and call him out. They talk about having each others’ back. Kayla decides she better go do her job that they just got back. Stephanie says she’s happy for her while Kayla says she’s proud of her and they hug. Kayla encourages Stephanie to go home and rest which she agrees to do. Stephanie stops and says that she first has some unfinished business to tend to as Alex approaches.

Chad tells Steve that he’s game for whatever it takes to find Kate. Steve says that’s good but he thought Chad would’ve gone back to Salem with Stephanie and Kayla because he must be anxious to see his kids. Chad admits he misses them like crazy but declares that he’s not leaving without Kate because she’s the closest thing he has to a mother. Steve hopes they can bring Kate home safe to all the people who love her. There’s a knock at the door, so Chad answers it and is surprised to see Harris Michaels. Steve asks what the hell he is doing here.

Alex tells Stephanie that he didn’t know she was back from Greece. Stephanie says she just got in awhile ago. Alex mentions hearing that Kayla was alive. Kayla says it’s good to be back. Alex says that Justin will be pumped that she’s back home. Kayla hopes Justin and Bonnie are doing well which Alex confirms. Alex tells Kayla how truly sorry he is because he was the reason that Stephanie wasn’t there for Kayla’s last moments as he did something really selfish and he will feel guilty and terrible about it for the rest of his life. Kayla informs him that Stephanie told her what happened that day, but it turns out those were not her last moments that she missed and now she has time to share lots of moments with her family. Kayla appreciates and accepts Alex’s apology.

Harris asks to come in which Steve and Chad allow. Steve asks him again why he’s here. Harris responds that Andrew sent him as he thought he could be of help with the search for Kate. Steve remarks that he thought wrong because they don’t want him and they don’t need his help.

Kate reluctantly eats the food brought to her which the man on the boat laughs at. Kate asks when he’s going to let her off the ship. He responds that he doesn’t have the authority to give her an answer. Kate tells him to bring her to someone who does then.

Eric tells EJ that he should really be talking to Nicole about this. EJ says he’s talking to him and he wants answers. EJ asks if Eric is going to lie to his face. Eric questions EJ getting the information from Sloan. EJ remarks that at least Sloan had the decency to tell him what was going on. Eric argues that Sloan doesn’t know what she’s talking about as there is nothing going on with he and Nicole. EJ asks if he’s denying having sex with Nicole. Eric shouts that he’s not denying anything and then admits that he did have sex with EJ’s girlfriend.

Nicole tells Gabi that if she’s not going to take her to the hospital, she will call an ambulance. Gabi questions Nicole really being sick and decides to help her to the hospital.

Kate questions why she hasn’t met the man’s boss. He responds that his boss doesn’t like meeting people. Kate asks for a name but he tells her to just finish her breakfast. He shows off wearing Kate’s ring. Kate complains that her one phone call didn’t go through. The man remarks that he hasn’t decided if he wants to keep the ring, sell it, or give it to one of his girlfriends. Kate then grabs his hand and threatens to cut the ring off his finger.

Steve questions Harris being the reinforcements that Andrew said he was sending. Harris apologizes for disappointing him. Steve asks where Andrew is. Harris responds that he got called away on another case. Steve doesn’t know why Andrew thought they’d ever accept help from Harris. Steve complains that Harris is the guy who knew Bo was alive and kept it to himself. Chad tries to intervene but Harris says to let Steve say his piece. Steve argues that when he and Kayla were locked in the wine cellar, Harris didn’t lift a finger to help. Harris points out that he didn’t know they were down there. Steve says he knew they were missing and that Bo had to be involved, but he didn’t care. Steve says they can forget about he and Kayla and talk about Hope and how Harris didn’t tell her that Bo was alive. Steve declares that if Harris came forward sooner, his best friend wouldn’t be lying in a coma right now.

Kayla says the news of her return is spreading as she already has a patient. Stephanie says that patient has the best doctor ever. Kayla hugs her and says she loves her as she then walks away. Stephanie tells Alex that it was good of him to apologize to Kayla. Alex doesn’t expect for it to make up for what he did, but it meant a lot that she forgave him. Stephanie asks what Alex is doing at the hospital and if everything is okay. Alex responds that everything is fine and he was just going to his appointment with Marlena as he started therapy to work on his issues. Stephanie calls that great and a big step. Stephanie says she should get going as a lot of work piled up while she was in Greece. Stephanie tells Alex that she will see him around. Stephanie goes to leave but Alex stops her and asks her to wait a second.

EJ mocks Eric and the Brady family as being just as corrupt as the rest of them. Eric tells EJ to shut up for five minutes and let him explain. EJ questions what’s to explain when he already admitted to sleeping with Nicole. Eric tells EJ that they were high after eating those biscuits and weren’t thinking clearly. Eric argues that they were out of their minds and EJ should know since it happened to him. Eric adds that they knew it was a mistake as soon as it happened. EJ questions why they kept it a secret then. Eric responds that they knew he would blow it out of proportion because he’s an insecure asshole. EJ then grabs Eric and punches him down.

Kayla goes to see her patient which turns out to be Nicole. Nicole is shocked to see her despite hearing she was alive. Kayla knows it’s strange and says she’s been getting that a lot today. Kayla asks what’s going on with Nicole. Nicole tells her about the cramps and she doesn’t think it’s a bug or food poisoning. Kayla asks if it could be menstrual cramps. Nicole says she doesn’t really get cramps like these but she is due for her period. Nicole checks her calendar and realizes that she’s late. Nicole calls it really strange since her OB/GYN gave her a new birth control last year. Kayla asks if she’s been under any extra stress recently. Nicole admits to scheming with EJ against Stefan and Gabi. Nicole starts to complain about feeling hot and that she’s starting to sweat. Kayla goes over Nicole’s period being late, having cramps, and now hot flashes. Nicole asks what she’s getting at. Kayla thinks Nicole may be entering menopause.

Eric guesses he had that coming and repeats to EJ that he and Nicole were hallucinating when they slept together. Eric brings up punching EJ a few weeks ago so he guesses this makes them even. EJ responds that they are far from even. Eric asks if he wants to keep this going. EJ says that he does. Eric remarks that his first punch was free but the second one’s going to cost him. Eric then heads inside to the Brady Pub.

Kate threatens to cut the man’s finger with the knife she used to cut the fish. He pleads with her and asks what she wants. Kate responds that she wants to see his boss.

Harris tells Steve that he totally understands how he feels, so he will go. Harris wishes them luck in the search. Chad stops Harris but Steve says to let him go because they can’t trust him and they don’t need him. Chad asks what if Harris is their best chance to find Kate. Chad adds that if it wasn’t for Harris, he and Stephanie would’ve been killed by Thomas Banks, so he thinks they should reconsider.

Alex tells Stephanie that he’d like to ask her something before she goes. Stephanie guesses that he wants to know if she’s let him off the hook since Kayla did. Alex says that’s not what he wanted to ask. Alex says pressuring her or trying to guilt her in to letting him off the hook is what the old Alex would’ve done, but the new Alex is learning that just because he has remorse for all of his actions, doesn’t mean that the people he hurt need to forgive him. Stephanie asks why he stopped her just now then. Alex responds that he needs her help. Alex doesn’t like to admit when he needs help, but calls it a special case. Stephanie asks what’s going on. Alex informs her that Maggie is heading to Greece with Victor to be with Bo. Stephanie understands they must be out of their minds with worry. Alex says that with Maggie gone, she left him in charge of a crucial deal that they have been working on for months and he’s a little anxious about it. Alex says he really can’t afford to screw this up. Stephanie asks what this has to do with her and how she can help. Alex informs her that he has a meeting tomorrow to pitch all of their strategies to all the parties involved. Alex says he’s been cramming his brain full of data but he would feel a lot more confident if he had her by his side.

Steve tells Harris that he’s grateful to him for stopping Thomas Banks from hurting Stephanie, but it wasn’t long ago that Harris put Stephanie’s life in danger with the exploding pizza box. Harris responds that he’s still haunted by what he did to Steve and John’s families. Chad reminds Steve that Harris was under Megan’s control when he did those things, just like Steve and John were in Hong Kong. Chad says they have both been there. Steve asks what about the things that Harris has done since then when under his own free will. Harris admits he knew what he was doing when he didn’t tell Hope the truth about Bo and has to live with that regret. Chad asks if Harris is here to make amends. Harris explains that Andrew thought if he helped find Kate, it could give him a small chance at redemption but he understands why they wouldn’t want his help. Chad doesn’t care if it helps them find Kate. Chad points out that Harris was a Navy SEAL so he could be their best bet to help. Harris agrees that his skills could be valuable and asks what Steve says.

Kate continues threatening to cut the man’s finger off if he doesn’t take her to his boss. He warns that his boss is very dangerous and does not want to be disturbed but then agrees to take her to him.

Gabi sits at the DiMera Mansion, reading an article about Kate being alive but missing. EJ comes home and calls out for Nicole, asking if she’s there because he saw her car in the garage. Gabi informs EJ that Nicole is not there so EJ asks where she went.

Nicole tells Kayla that she’s too young for menopause. Kayla says not necessarily since it’s not uncommon in your 40s. Nicole guesses she knew that but that she’s not ready for it, psychologically. Kayla encourages that maybe it’s not menopause and offers to run tests to get to the bottom of this which Nicole agrees to.

Stephanie questions Alex if wanting her at this meeting is another scheme to get them closer together. Alex swears it has nothing to do with that. Alex says that he and Maggie have been butting heads like crazy so he feels like this is his last chance to prove himself to her. Alex promises that him needing Stephanie’s help is legit and strictly business. Alex adds that he knows she is with Chad so he respects her relationship and boundaries. Stephanie asks what she would need to do at this meeting. Alex says he would just need her by his side, to keep him on track and help make sure he hits all the talking points that Maggie already approved. Alex declares that there’s nobody else for the job because Stephanie is the best. Alex truly thinks that his career at Titan depends on it. Stephanie acknowledges that Titan is still one of her biggest clients so this deal would be a big win for SJPR. Stephanie agrees to help him. Alex excitedly thanks her and stops himself from hugging her, then says he’s learning about boundaries. Stephanie says she will see him tomorrow. Alex promises she won’t regret it and thanks her again as she walks away.

Steve guesses they are in no position to turn down help, considering how short handed they are. Harris asks if that means he’s part of the team. Steve states that he’s working with the team for now, but warns that he will have his eye on him and swears to take Harris down, himself, if he pulls anything.

The man on the boat brings Kate to see his boss and tells her to wait there as he exits the room. The door then opens and Kate is shocked by who she sees.

Eric sits in the Pub with an ice pack on his face from EJ’s punch. Eric calls Nicole, but she ignores it because Kayla comes back to her hospital room and announces that she has news. Eric leaves a voicemail for Nicole to call him as soon as she gets it because EJ knows and he’s on a warpath.

EJ asks Gabi if she knows where Nicole is. Gabi responds that there’s so many possibilities as she could be reminiscing on old times with Rafe or sharing hot steamy chowder with Eric at the Pub. Gabi jokes that Nicole has so many exes that it’s hard to keep up. Gabi tells EJ not to bother calling Nicole because with how she’s feeling, she doubts she will pick up. EJ questions what the hell she is talking about. Gabi informs EJ that Nicole is at the hospital.

Nicole asks Kayla what the news is. Kayla announces that Nicole is not going through menopause which Nicole calls a relief. Kayla then reveals that it’s because Nicole is pregnant.

Recap written by Michele and Cheryl

EJ wasn’t happy to see Gabi and Stefan making out on the couch. Gabi told him that she evaluated the employees. They didn’t want to work with him. He accused her of lying. She continued to list his faults. EJ didn’t think anyone would care what she thought about him. Stefan told him the board would care about it. EJ reminded him that Nicole was evaluating him too. He said she was going to report it to him. He walked out of the room. Nicole saw Eric and Sloan together. She rolled her eyes when she saw them kissing each other. After Sloan left, Nicole approached Eric. She thought they weren’t a couple. Eric told her they made up. She badmouthed Sloan and told him to make sure that Sloan doesn’t tell EJ that they slept together. Chanel talked to Paulina about Talia. Paulina was surprised that Talia was going out with her because she thought she was straight. Chanel thought she was too until she kissed her. Paulina wondered if she was ready to start dating after what happened with Allie. She missed Allie, but she was ready to move on with her life. She promised to take things slow with Talia. Paulina warned her that people aren’t who they seem to be. Colin told Talia that Chanel wouldn’t be able to resist her. She didn’t think she could go through with the plan. He tried to convince her to finish what they started. Jada was upset that Talia had a key made near the Square. Rafe followed her and reminded her that they didn’t have proof that Talia was responsible for the attacks against Paulina and Chanel. Jada was convinced that her sister was guilty. She could go to prison. Rafe reminded her that she didn’t have a motive so the culprit could be anyone. He took her hand and assured her they would figure it out.

Talia walked in the room so Rafe and Jada took their hands apart. Jada asked Talia if she attacked Paulina’s office. Rafe tried to stop her, but she kept talking to Talia about it. Talia was offended by what Jada said. She said that she had the key made that day. Jada wanted to know why she didn’t say anything about it before. Jada told her that she has been forgetting a lot of things lately. Jada followed her to test the key. Colin saw Sloan with a client. The client wasn’t sure if she should be represented by Sloan since she was in trouble. Colin looked at his phone and saw Talia’s text. Later, Talia met with Colin at the Bistro. She told him about her conversation with Jada. He believed that she could handle it. She was worried that Chanel would catch on that she’s not into women. Chanel walked in the Bistro. Sloan walked into EJ at the pub. She introduced herself to him, but he remembered meeting her before. She remembered how painful their meeting was, but it wasn’t as painful as catching Eric and Nicole in bed together. EJ was devastated by her admission. She apologized because she thought he knew about it. She said it was the drugged biscuits. She told him that it didn’t mean anything. Jada asked Rafe what he thought about Talia’s story. He thought it was strange, but they didn’t have a motive for her being the one who did it. He wanted to know why she would attack Paulina and Chanel.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

You know that expression if feels good to be true, it probably is. I’ve heard it, yes. Okay. Well, I need you to tell me that that is not. The case with how I feel right now that spending an evening together snuggling in your arms is actually happening. That it’s true. It’s real. Okay. Not only is it true and real and actually happening, it’s gonna keep happening for the rest of our lives.

Oh, I’ve missed this.

Oh. Are you aware that this is a common space for all the residents in this home? And I having to witness you two. Swapping spit might be an unsavory, if not nauseating site for those of us who also live here. Good evening to you too, ej. See, I was hoping that you’d stick around tonight since we do have business to discuss.

It’ll have to wait. I don’t think it should see. It’s about my position as consultant and you and your performance, which I’ve observed for what, two days now. You instrument, I’d like to show you my notes.

For you. Hello Eric. This is Sweets. How are you girlfriend? Oh, is that what I am now for girlfriends, ah, that you are now that we’re officially a couple. Mm-hmm. I figured it was time for me to step up in the romance department, hence the rose. I see. Well, normally I’m not the type who goes for these like romantic gestures, but for you, I think I’ll make an exception.

Mom. Why are you in the dark? Hmm. I was meditating. What just when do you meditate? Ever since I started getting those damn panic attacks. Your friend Talia recommended it and you know, I was skeptical at first, but you know what? It actually works. My anxiety level is weirder. Oh, ah, okay. Well, uh, that’s great.

I’m glad Talia was able to help. Mm-hmm. Uh, be sure to thank her for me next time you see her. Well, that would be tonight. Talia and I are going on a date.

You are so beautiful and damn you sexy. Chanel dere is not gonna be able to resist you, so you keep saying. Come here.

No, I know this is difficult for you. Yeah, but it means so much to me. Yeah, you keep saying that too. I wish to. I felt like shutting down a balcony was enough. But look, the last thing I wanna do is make you unhappy. All right. Since the legal system won’t prosecute her for, for killing my mother and driving my father to drink himself to death.

Well, I’ve had to assume that responsibility myself. I have another choice. Don’t you see that? I do. And I know that we’ve gone over this a thousand times, babe, but. This plan, Colin, it’s, it’s all sorts of twisted. You’re asking me to seduce her and, and then break her heart. I know this is gonna be challenging for you cuz of your kind heart.

Talia, I have faith in you all and your loyalty to me and your ability to do whatever you set your mind to, which is why I know you can handle this.

Actually, come on. I don’t think that I can,

Hey, hey, hey, hey. Hold on a second. Would you slow down? Hey, let’s just think this through, right? What’s to think about? You heard what the hardware store owner said. He remembers seeing Talia. Come in and make a copy of a key. Mm-hmm. The same day that someone probably made a copy of Paulina’s Key to break into our office probably being the operative word.

This is all just a theory. We don’t have any proof yet, but when you factor everything else, all the little coincidences. Oh holes and tell your story. It’s pretty clear that the person who’s been targeting Chanel and Paulina, this is my very own sister.

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

But why Jada? Why would Talia go after Pauly and Anne and Chanel? I mean, she didn’t even know them before they moved to Salem, right? A possible motive. Could she have? I wish to. Hell on you. But you don’t. You don’t. Right? So we could be completely off base here. What if we’re not? What if Talia is the one who trash Paul in his office?

What if she sent those threatening text messages and, and worse, what if she was the one who drugged those biscuits? I mean, my God, that’s a felony. Me. She go to prison. Okay. Hey, you’re getting way ahead of yourself here. Right. There’s still a lot that we don’t know. We know enough. The timeline, for instance, you know, it just occurred to me, Paulina and Chanel, they didn’t start being harassed.

Until around the time my sister should open town completely outta the blue. That may be, but it also coincides with the time the Sloan’s civil case got thrown out and she vowed revenge upon them. The Sloan has an alibi. The night were drugged, which we already agreed was. Shaky at best. Yeah, but look, you’re the one who told Abe yourself.

Then we need to look at this with an open mind. Let’s not fix Abe on one suspect here, right? It’s possible the culprit could be someone we haven’t even considered yet. What do you mean you can’t handle it? Are you saying that you’re not gonna help me anymore? Answer me, Talia. Look, it’s just. I don’t like deliberately hurting someone like this, Colin, and I just don’t understand why.

You’re just so cool with me being with somebody else. I’m not cool with it. I hate the idea, but as I keep telling you, there is no other way for this to work. Yeah, and why not? Chanel likes guys too. You could be the one to seduce, sir. Don’t you think I would If that made any sense at all. But you know down well, that’s too risky.

If anyone knew that I was in town, I would be the number one suspect for everything that’s gone on. Not even my sister Sloan can know that I’m in town.

You are way more lover than I am. I bet. Chanel is well on our way to falling for you. Yeah, and that just makes me feel worse. Damnit Colin. Okay. All of this. Yemen, I’ve, I just wanted to be over so we can packages feed us. Believe me, we’re almost there. All right. Once Chanel Dupree feels a fraction of the pain that she put my family through, I’ll be able to move on because I will have honored my parents’ memory.

I get justice for them. I thought you knew how much that meant to me. I do. I really do. I promise then we’re good.

Yeah, far good,

but I better get going. I have to change from my dates.

I love you. I love you.

You are dating Claudia Hunter. It well, technically it’s our first date, but if it goes well, there could be more. Oh, interesting. Uh, my, I thought she was, was what? A totally adorable, completely gorgeous young woman of color. You know what I mean? I just assumed she was straight. Well, actually, I, I kind of thought that too, but then today she, she kissed me and it was just out of the blue.

Oh, so you were surprised, huh? Yes. And no, I think for, for a while now, I kind of thought we were vibing, but I wasn’t sure if it was just my imagination. But I, I think she was hesitant about ex expressing her feelings because she’s only ever dated men before. Oh, really? Huh. So first, Allie, I’m tired. You seem to have this.

Superpower to turn straight girls into my sexual assault. Okay, mama. That is not how it works, but I mean, I can’t help it if people of all genders and sexual orientations happen to find me Irres. Oh, you have to tell me. I know my baby girl is quite the gem, like mother, like daughter. Mm-hmm. Definitely. But, but darling, what?

Are you sure you’re ready to start dating again?

Chanel baby. I know how much you loved Allie and you, you two broke up only a couple of months ago and well, I’m worried that it, you know, it might be too soon for you that you, you’re still. Vulnerable. You know, you know, mama, I’m not gonna lie, I miss her like crazy. She was my best friend and my girlfriend all wrapped up in one person, and I’m tired of sitting around being sad about it.

Not to mention all the other stuff I have to be sad about. I mean, don’t I deserve to have some fun for a change, baby? You deserve whatever this wonderful world has to offer you. I, I’m just worried. About you throwing yourself into a another relationship. If you are not ready, uh, you know, because you’re, you’re, you’re still too vulnerable, like I said.

And. Cause my precious, precious girl, the last thing I want is for you to get your heart broken all over again.

I know what you’re saying makes sense about my sister’s. Total lack of motive. But you’re still freaked out thinking you may be guilty. Which is why you need to take a deep breath and give yourself some time to think about this situation. Clearly,

you’re right. It’s just really hard, you know when a case hits so close to home. Trust me. I get it. But we’ll get through this. Okay. Together.

Hey sis, commissioner Talia. Hi. Listen, um, I just wanna let you know that I won’t be home for dinner tonight. Okay. Uh, where are you going? I’m just hanging out with Chanel, so, um, I’m gonna go be dressed. Okay. All right. Uh, have fun. Thank you. You guys have a good time too. Okay. Call ya. Wait. I need to ask you something first.

Yeah. Show. What’s up?

Did you trash Paulina Price’s Office?

Sorry, one sec.

Oh, damn it. What? Oh, I gotta go meet a client like right now, afraid. So she’s nervous about her testimony in court tomorrow. So I gotta go do a little hand holding. You never know how long those things are gonna take. Can I get a rain check on her? Of course. Night of Romance. Listen, just be sure to call me before you turn in, okay?

Will do. Okay.

This is a complete waste of time. Everyone knows this is an utter fast. Just a way to get Gabby back at the company using underhanded tactics. I happen to disagree with that. I don’t know what you’re talking about. Gabby is a very successful businesswoman. She’s a money-grubbing bottom feeder. She’s not qualified to criticize what I had for lunch, let alone my job performance.

Mm. Now that is a great example of one of your many, many weaknesses. Your curiousness, your arrogance. Do you treat your employees like they’re beneath you? It’s a real morale killer. Pity settle. I’ve spoken to a couple people at the company. If they described you as rude, Temperamental tyrannical. One guy even said he’d rather work for the father and succession.

At least. That guy’s funny. Oh, and I’m not. Wait, who said that? It’s confidential. To protect your employees, you’re lying. You’re making every word up. Oh, suddenly I’m not speak from what I’ve seen. Your management skills are ineffective. Your bargaining tactics are counterproductive. Your interpersonal skills are an HR disaster waiting to happen.

Oh, and your cologne is very pungent. So, How God. Oh, how dare you. That’s an all in all. If I had to give you a letter grade, it would be an F. You insulate. Actually, I forgot you left crumbs in the break room, so that’s an F minus.

Feel free to write up whatever you want in your pathetic little report. Gabby, nobody gives a down what you think. I bake the differ. I think the board is gonna care very much about Gabby’s review. See, I’ve read her preliminary findings and. They’re actually quite disturbing. I have no doubt. Once she submits your evaluation, the board’s gonna want to address several of these issues before it’s too late as you wish.

But don’t forget, brother, I’m not the only one being evaluated here. Nicole has been monitoring your performance and I’m sure she has a lot to say. Nicole, darling, would you mind coming downstairs please? Oh, she’s not here. She went shopping. Well, when she gets back, I’ll ask her to present her findings. In the meantime, I’m going to get some air.

Because I’ve had enough of you two in your little childish games.

Enjoy the air. Are we having fun yet?

You and Sloan? What about me and Sloan? Well, I knew I was high on biscuits, but I distinctly remember you saying you stopped seeing each other. Well, we had, we managed to make things work out even though she caught us in bed together. Well, she understood that we were drugged and we weren’t. I’ve seen things clearly.

Right. Well, I mean, I guess you two weren’t exclusive or anything, and from what you said, it was just casual. Actually, that’s not the case anymore.

Son and I decided to give a shot to having a rare relationship.

Mama, isn’t it a little early in the game for you to be worried about me getting hurt? Mm-hmm. It’s only a first date. Yeah, but I know you baby, you tend to move pretty fast. Are you following me, Ahoe? Of course not. I was talking relationship wise. I mean, after all you marry Zander cook just hours after you met him.

Okay. You know, that wasn’t about love. Oh, and then you also married Johnny Dara of a few months after you two started dating. Okay. Maybe that was a little impulsive, and then just only a few months after that you moved him with Alien or something. Okay. Okay. Okay. Look, okay. I, I admit that I do fall pretty quickly, but I promise to take things slow with Talia.

Okay. That’s all I ask. After all, you know, you haven’t really known her that long. Okay, now you seem skeptical of Talia. You were just singing her praises two seconds ago. Well, it’s both you and I know people aren’t always what they see.

What did you say, Jada? Maybe this isn’t such a good idea. I believe that someone took. A key from Paulina’s Purse. I made a copy of it to get into her office. And why do you think that someone is me? You were with Chanel and Paulina in the Square the day her office was vandalized. You had the opportunity to do it.

Yeah. But I didn’t really, because Ra and I just came back from speaking to the hardware store owner and we showed him your picture and he remembered making a copy of a key for you that day. So how do you explain that?

I can’t, I can’t believe this. Do you seriously think I could do something so horrible? We are not accusing you of anything, Talia. We’re just asking questions. No, you’re not just asking questions. I mean, come on. You showed the guy in my picture. Right. So you two obviously think that I’m guilty. Well, at the moment we are exploring any and all angles.

So I’m the on your investigation. That’s funny because I thought I was your sister, which means you can talk to me. Was the owner of the hardware store. Right. When he identified your picture, did you make a copy of the Key that day?

Yeah, I did.

So you did make a copy of Pauline’s Key?

No, I made a key to your room upstairs. What? Yeah. You kept saying You’re gonna make me my own key. Right. But you kept putting it off and I didn’t think our system was very safe. What system? I’m leaving my own key under the mat. So tell you can get in, haven’t had time to get a key made. Yeah, so I took the initiative and I did it myself, but that was weeks ago.

Why didn’t you say something before now? I don’t know. I kept forgetting, you know, you’ve been forgetting a lot of things lately, hun. Don’t believe me. How about you take it upstairs and see if it works. Or better yet about use at Ms Price’s office. Maybe you and I should go upstairs and try out the key just for the record.

Okay, fine by me, but I’m telling the truth. My God, Chanel and Paulina have been so kind to me. Why in the world would I wanna hurt them? Well, like I said, your sister and I were just exploring any and all angles.

Yeah, right. But I thought my sister of all people would know that I’m not a horrible person and I would never do something like this.

Well, I should go get ready for my date. What do you two have planned? Dinner at the bistro? Then maybe we’ll catch a movie at the square. Or who knows? Maybe we’ll just elope at city Hall. You know, I should probably wear my wedding dress just in case. Stop, stop, stop. Stop, stop, stop. I love you, mama, and I appreciate you looking out for me.

Always. Always. You. You have a wonderful time. Now, being careful doesn’t mean you can’t have fun. Yeah. Uh, Talia and I already get along so well. I’m sure the fun will happen easily. And the next step, well, that is to be seen.

You know, the one good thing about the bakery shutting down is that. I can stay out as late as I want. I guess I found something I can thank Sloane Peterson for. Well, another little bit of advice. Keep that horrible woman out of your mind tonight. I’m gonna try, mama. I’m gonna try. Mm-hmm. Hmm.

Oh wow.

Sorry I’m late. Oh, don’t be. I just got here myself. Look, I know it may seem like overkill. You know what? Nonsense. There’s no such thing. Preparation is the name of the game when it comes to going to court. Thanks. I just wanna go over my testimony one more time. Of course, Vincent, don’t worry so much. All you have to do tomorrow is when you get on this stand, you just tell the truth and you leave the rest up to me.

You make it sound so easy. Well, that’s because I’ve been doing this a very long time. Trust me, you’re in good hands. I do know that Ms. Peterson.

A real relationship. Okay. What does that mean? It means that Sloan and I are now like exclusive. Well, I gathered that I, you still don’t know what it means? Well, no, of course I do. It’s just that, it’s just, fuck, come on, Eric. I don’t think anyone who knows you thinks this makes any sense. Okay. Can you name one person who thinks highly of that woman?

Not to mention that she’ll probably be on her way to Statesville before law. Are you kidding me, Nicole? Listen, I am tired of explaining to everyone that Sloan had nothing to do with what’s happening with Chanel and Paulina. And by the way, she was with me all night. She had nothing to do with drugging those biscuits.

Really? You had your eyes on her every second, Nicole. Well, I just,

I’m just concerned. Okay. Because even after everything that. We’ve been through. I, I still care about you and if you’re serious about Sloan, then I’ll be fine.

Eric, wait.

Since you and Sloane are together, can you just do me a favor? Please Ask her not to tell anyone about what happened between us under the influence. Are you afraid ejs gonna find it? Yeah. I’m afraid ejs gonna find out and he is probably gonna blow it out of proportion. Okay. And I don’t need the drama, especially since us making love was because of the drugs.

Am I right? Yeah. It’s because of the.

He worked. All right. Well, isn’t that a good thing? I mean, it might have been, if I hadn’t already blurted out my suspicions. Yeah. Uh, about that. What happened to taking a breath and thinking this through clearly. I had every intention of doing that, but then the words just started tumbling outta my mouth and I couldn’t stop myself.

Oh, I’m sure my sister is furious with me. No, well, I mean, yeah, probably. You know, I, I should go back up there and talk to me. No, no, no, no, no. Do not do that. This is really emotional for you. You’re. Your instincts are, Ross, just wait till tomorrow morning. Okay? Okay. You know, I, I think you’re right. I’ll just give her some time, you know, let her cool off.

Yes. Okay. Yeah. Talia. Talia. Wait. Can we talk this out?

Seriously,

we just what?

That was perfect. If you tell your story like that tomorrow, it’s a slam dunk. Thanks. I feel much more confident now. Great. Okay. Tomorrow meet me at the courthouse at nine. Okay. Um, actually before you go, I have one more question, Uhhuh. Sure. I heard rumors about the police investigating you. Should I be looking for a backup lawyer?

Absolutely not. Look, you have nothing to worry about, okay? And neither do I. The police have no case because I’m innocent. But I heard that Paulina Price accused you of harassing her family. She’s wrong. I don’t know who’s after her and her daughter, but it certainly isn’t me.

I’m gonna go for a run by the lake. Hmm. I gotta stay in good shape for you. You better try to join. I’d love to, but I think I’m gonna send this reporting as soon as possible. I mean, I don’t know how serious Shannon and the board are gonna take this, but. It’s just fun to get under e j’s skin. I agree. Just know that we should expect some pushback.

We both know EJ gives as good as he gets. Let him. You and I can not only hold our own against him and Nicole, we can outsmart, outshine and outperform circles around them and we will. But this tit for tat can’t go on forever. Eventually, we’re gonna need to oust EJ from Damara for good.

Ah, Mr. Damira, I don’t believe we have been properly introduced. I’m SL Peterson. Nice to actually meet you, Ms. Peterson. Although in a way I feel like we already know each other, as I recall, we spent a rather painfully awkward evening at the Bist Strong Valentine’s Day, where our respective dates spent a lot of time and energy trying to ignore each other.

That is true, and I was extremely painful. Mm-hmm. Although it wasn’t half as painful as the other day when I caught the miba together.

Well, I should go,

but before I do, I, uh, I just wanna say in spite of what I said about Sloan and how I feel about her, I hope, I hope you two work out. And I, I know I’ve said this for many years now, but it bears repeating.

I just want you to be happy.

I just want you to be happy.

Even if it’s with ej,

even if it’s with ej.

Uh, I’m, I’m, I’m, I’m sorry. What did you say? Did you, you caught who? Only. Back together. Um, Nicole and Eric, I, God, I’m so sorry. I, I assumed that you knew.

Come on. We’re supposed to split these. Don’t make me eat ’em all by myself. Sorry. Not hungry Ra. What did you think of Talia’s story about her making a key for our room? It made sense mostly, but don’t you find it strange that she never said anything before about it? Hmm. Hello? But I keep going back to one thing, her lack of motive.

That’s right. She’s got nothing against Pauline and Chanel, so why would she go after them?

I am sorry I couldn’t help overhearing your conversation earlier. Oh, hi. Hi, my name’s Logan. I’m Connie. Nice to meet you. Connie. From what I gathered, it sounds like your lawyer might have a bit of legal trouble over her own. Oh, you heard our conversation. Were we talking that loud? No, no, no. It’s just I was there.

I was sitting close enough. You know? Right. Well, my lawyer, she assures me she’s innocent. Except we all know how good lawyers can be at covering things up. Right. So I just hope I can trust her. I know you can. I mean, just from observing the two of you for a couple minutes, whoa. I could get the sense that she’s a person of integrity.

I am positive. She’s innocent. Really? I’m mean, it’s, it’s obviously just a feeling, but I have been told that I am an excellent judgey character.

Wow. You look amazing. Thanks. So do you. I am loving a dress. I’m just fat. It still fits. Spend a minute since I had a reason to dress up, I. I’m glad we’re doing this. So am I. But um, look, I, I know dating women is new for you, so I want you to know there is no pressure, no expectations at all. We can just take things slow.

I actually think that would be good for both of us. Thanks. I really appreciate that. It’s great. All right, now let’s order. I am starving

Nicole and Eric. We’re in bed together. Oh God, yes. But you know, it was just those biscuits, those damn biscuits, they were drugged, you know, it meant nothing. It wasn’t like it was, it wasn’t planned or uh uh, any of that obviously, you know, and, and uh, that’s why I thought she would’ve told you. She assuredly did not.

Oh, well, like I said before, you know, it was, it was the drugs. It really meant nothing. I’m not losing sleep over at, in them, and you shouldn’t neither. Thank you for the heads up.

I didn’t tell EJ and I don’t want him to know, so it has to be our little secret.

So that was her secret. She slept with Eric.

Oh, hey, did uh, EJ track you down? No. Why? He was upset about the performance review that I gave him. The guy just doesn’t know how to take constructive criticism. Oh, yeah. I bet it was real constructive. Wow. I’m sure the board will be very interested to hear what I have to say. I, I was just about to email them my scathing review.

Oh, well, I guess I’ll just have to send them my review about Stephan also scathing. Hmm.

Oh, ow. Oh God. Ah. Oh. You all right? Oh.

Oh my God.

Update written by Joseph

Stefan and Gabi kiss in the living room of the DiMera Mansion. Gabi hopes this is not too good to be true and it’s actually real. Stefan assures that it is and that it will keep happening for the rest of their lives. Gabi talks about how she’s missed this. They continue kissing until EJ walks in and complains that this is a common residence for everyone who lives here. Gabi reminds EJ that they have business to discuss. EJ says it will have to wait but Gabi doesn’t think it should. Gabi warns that it has to do with her consulting EJ’s performance and she’d like to show him her notes.

Eric surprises Sloan with a rose in the town square. They kiss as Eric calls her his girlfriend. Eric says now that they are officially a couple, he figured it was time for him to step up in the romance department. Sloan jokes that she doesn’t usually go for the big romantic gestures but for him, she’ll make an exception. Eric and Sloan kiss as Nicole walks through the town square and looks annoyed when she sees them.

Paulina sits at home in the dark until Chanel comes home and questions why she’s in the dark. Paulina responds that she was meditating. Chanel questions when she started that. Paulina explains that Talia recommended it for her panic attacks and she was skeptical at first but it actually works and her anxiety levels are way down. Chanel is glad Talia was able to help. Paulina tells her to thank her next time she sees her. Chanel reveals that would be tonight as she and Talia are going on a date which surprises Paulina.

Talia gets dressed after being in bed with Colin. Colin comments on how beautiful and sexy she is, then remarks that Chanel will not be able to resist her. Colin knows this is difficult for her, but says it means so much to him. Talia knows he keeps saying that. Colin wishes shutting down the bakery was enough and he doesn’t want to make Talia unhappy, but since the legal system won’t punish Chanel for killing his mother and driving his father to drink himself to death, he had to take on the responsibility himself as he had no other choice. Talia says she gets that and she knows they’ve gone over this. Talia feels the plan is all sorts of twisted as he’s asking her to seduce Chanel and then break her heart. Colin knows it will be challenging because of her kind heart, but he has faith in her and her ability to do whatever she sets her mind to which is why he knows she can handle this. Talia admits that she doesn’t think that she can.

Jada storms in to the Brady Pub as Rafe follows her, asking her to calm down so they can think this through. Jada questions what is to think about when they heard what the hardware store owner said and that he remembered Talia making a copy of a key on the same day that Paulina’s office was broken in to. Rafe points out that it’s all just a theory and they don’t have any proof yet. Jada argues that when they factor in everything else, it’s pretty clear that the person who has been targeting Chanel and Paulina is her very own sister. Rafe questions why Talia would go after Paulina and Chanel when she didn’t even know them before moving to Salem, so he asks what possible motive she could have. Jada wishes she knew. Rafe argues that they could be completely off base here. Jada asks what if they are not and if Talia is the one who trashed Paulina’s office, sent the threatening text messages, and drugged the biscuits which is a felony that she could go to prison for. Rafe encourages Jada to relax and not get ahead of herself because there’s still a lot they don’t know. Jada feels they know enough. Jada adds that Paulina and Chanel didn’t start getting harassed until the time that Talia showed up in town. Rafe notes that it also coincides with the time that Sloan vowed revenge on them. Jada brings up Sloan’s alibi which Rafe calls shaky at best. Rafe reminds Jada that she told Abe that they need to look at this with an open mind so instead of focusing on one suspect, the culprit could be someone they haven’t even thought of.

Colin questions Talia saying she can’t handle it and asks if she’s saying she’s not going to help him anymore. Talia complains that she doesn’t like deliberately hurting someone like this and she doesn’t understand why he’s so cool with her being with someone else. Colin admits he hates the idea but argues that there’s no other way for this to work. Talia argues that Chanel likes guys too, so he could be the one to seduce her. Colin argues that he would if that made any sense but she knows that’s too risky, because if anyone knew he was in town, he would be the number one suspect for everything that has happened so not even his sister Sloan can know that he’s in town. Colin bets Chanel is already on her way to falling for Talia. Talia complains that it just makes her feel worse and she just wants this scheming to be over, so they can go back to being them. Colin assures that they are almost there and once Chanel feels a fraction of the pain that she put his family through, he will able to move on because he will have honored his parents’ memory by getting justice for them. Talia promises she knows how much that means to him and says she better get going because she has to change for her date. Colin tells Talia that he loves her. Talia says she loves him too and then exits.

Paulina questions Chanel dating Talia. Chanel says it’s technically their first date, but if it goes well, there could be more. Paulina calls that interesting. Chanel calls Talia an adorable and gorgeous woman. Paulina says she just assumed Talia was straight. Chanel admits that she thought that too but then today, Talia kissed her out of the blue. Chanel says she thought they were vibing for awhile but she wasn’t sure and thinks Talia was hesitant about expressing it because she had only dated men before. Paulina jokes about Chanel having a superpower of turning straight girls in to bisexuals. Chanel jokes that she can’t help it. Paulina asks if she’s sure she is ready to start dating again. Paulina knows how much Chanel loved Allie and they only broke up a couple months ago, so she’s worried that it might be too soon for her and she’s still too vulnerable. Chanel admits she misses Allie like crazy since she was her best friend and her girlfriend, but she’s tired of sitting around being sad about it. Chanel feels she deserves to have some fun for a change. Paulina agrees but worries about Chanel throwing herself into another relationship before she’s worried, because she’s too vulnerable. Paulina adds that the last thing she wants is for Chanel to get her heart broken all over again…

Jada knows what Rafe is saying makes sense about Talia having a lack of motive. Rafe understands she’s still freaked out that she might be guilty. Rafe encourages Jada to take a deep breath and give herself time to think about things clearly. Jada says it’s just hard when it’s so close to home. Rafe understands and assures that they will get through this together as he holds her hand. Talia then walks in to the Pub and greets them. Talia informs Jada that she won’t be home for dinner as she’s hanging out with Chanel, so she’s going to get dressed. Jada tells her to have fun. Talia tells them to have fun too but Jada then stops Talia and says she needs to ask her something first. Jada then asks Talia if she trashed Paulina’s office.

Eric and Sloan kiss until Sloan gets a text that she has to go meet a client. Sloan asks for a rain check on their night of romance. Eric tells her to call him before she turns in. Sloan agrees to and then walks away. Nicole comes around the corner and runs in to Eric.

EJ tells Gabi that this is a waste of time as everyone knows it’s a farce and just an underhanded way to get Gabi back in the company. Stefan disagrees and calls Gabi a very successful business woman while EJ calls her a money grubbing, bottom feeder who is not qualified to criticize his job performance. Gabi calls EJ’s arrogance one of his weaknesses. Gabi says she spoke to a few people at the company who described EJ as rude and tyrannical. EJ accuses her of lying and making this up. Gabi calls EJ’s management skills a disaster and mocks his cologne, remarking that if she had to grade him, she would give him an F-. EJ tells Gabi to write up whatever she wants in her report because nobody gives a damn what she thinks. Stefan thinks the board will be very interested and will want to address several issues before it’s too late. EJ reminds Stefan that he’s not the only one being evaluated as Nicole has been evaluating Stefan’s performance as well. EJ calls for Nicole to come in but Gabi informs him that she’s not home as she went shopping. EJ says when she gets home, he will have her present her findings. EJ decides he’s going to get some air because he’s had enough of them and their childish games. Gabi jokes with Stefan about having fun.

Nicole questions Eric being with Sloan as she remembers him saying that they had stopped seeing each other. Eric says they had but they managed to work things out. Nicole brings up Sloan finding them in bed together. Eric says Sloan understood they were drugged and not seeing things clearly. Nicole guesses they weren’t exclusive since Eric said it was just casual. Eric reveals that’s not the case anymore as he and Sloan have decided to give a shot to having a real relationship.

Chanel tells Paulina that it’s early for her to be worrying about her getting hurt when it’s only a first date. Paulina feels Chanel tends to move a little fast. Chanel asks if she’s calling her a ho. Paulina clarifies that she meant relationship wise and brings up Chanel marrying Xander just hours after meeting him and then also marrying Johnny DiMera a few months after dating and then a few months after that, she moved in with Allie. Chanel admits she falls quickly but promises to take things slow with Talia. Paulina says that’s all she asks, pointing out that she hasn’t known Talia that long. Chanel questions Paulina seeming skeptical of Talia when she was just singing her praises. Paulina remarks that they both know that people aren’t always what they seem…

Talia questions what Jada said. Rafe suggests this isn’t a good time. Jada explains that she and Rafe think someone had Paulina’s key copied. Talia questions why she thinks that was her. Jada points out that Talia was with Paulina and Chanel on the day that her office was vandalized, so she had the opportunity to do it. Talia insists that she didn’t do it. Jada then reveals that she and Rafe just spoke to the hardware store owner, who identified Talia as having a key made that day. Jada questions how she explains that.

Colin sits at the bar, wearing a cap to hide himself. Sloan then enters the bar.

Talia says she can’t believe this and asks if Jada seriously thinks she could do something so horrible. Rafe states that they aren’t accusing her of anything and are just asking questions. Talia argues that they obviously think she’s guilty. Rafe says they are exploring any and all angles. Talia remarks that she thought she was Jada’s sister. Jada says that’s why she can talk to her. Jada asks if the hardware store owner was right in identifying her picture and if she made a copy of the key that day. Talia then admits that she did but claims it was a copy of a key to their room upstairs because Jada kept saying she needed her own key but kept putting it off and she didn’t think their system was very safe. Rafe questions what system. Jada explains that she’s been using her own key under the mat so that Talia could get in because she hasn’t had time to get it done. Talia says that’s why she did it herself. Jada points out that was weeks ago and questions her not saying anything until now. Talia claims she kept forgetting. Jada argues that she’s been forgetting a lot of things lately. Talia tells Jada that she can go use it upstairs or on Paulina’s office if she doesn’t believe her. Jada agrees that they should go try it upstairs just for the record. Talia says that’s fine by her, but she’s telling the truth. Talia argues that Paulina and Chanel have been so kind to her and questions why she would want to hurt them. Rafe repeats that they are just exploring any and all angles. Talia thought her sister of all people would know that she’s not a horrible person and that she would never do something like this. Jada and Talia then head upstairs.

Chanel tells Paulina that she is going to get ready for her date. Paulina asks what they have planned. Chanel says they will have dinner at the bistro and maybe a movie in the square, then jokes that maybe they will elope at city hall. Chanel tells Paulina that she loves her and appreciates her looking out for her all the time. Paulina tells her to have fun. Chanel notes that she and Talia already get along so well, so she’s sure they will have fun. Chanel comments that the one good thing about the bakery being closed is that she can stay out as long as she wants, so she guesses she found one thing that she can thank Sloan for. Paulina advises her to keep Sloan out of her mind tonight. Chanel agrees to try and then goes to get ready.

Sloan meets her client at the bar. She says she just wanted to be prepared and go over her testimony one more time. Sloan encourages her to just tell the truth and let her handle the rest. Sloan adds that she’s been doing this for a long time, so she’s in good hands. Colin remains seated nearby and watches on.

Nicole questions what Eric means by he and Sloan having a real relationship. Eric responds that they are now exclusive. Nicole argues that anyone who knows him wouldn’t think this makes sense and remarks that she’ll probably be on her way to prison before long. Eric is tired of explaining to everyone that Sloan had nothing to do with what’s going on with Paulina and Chanel. Eric adds that Sloan was with him all night, so she had nothing to do with drugging the biscuits. Nicole asks if he had his eyes on her every second. Nicole complains that she’s just concerned because even after everything they have been through, she still cares about him and if he’s serious about Sloan. Eric assures that he will be fine and starts to walk away but Nicole stops him. Nicole asks Eric to just do her a favor and please ask Sloan not to tell anyone about what happened between them while under the influence because she’s afraid of EJ finding out and blowing it out of proportion when she doesn’t need the drama, especially since them making love was because of the drugs. Nicole asks if that’s right. Eric agrees that it was because of the drugs.

Jada returns downstairs to Rafe and tells him that the key worked. Rafe asks if that’s a good thing. Jada says it might have been if she hadn’t already blurted out her suspicions. Rafe asks what happened to thinking things through. Jada says she intended to but then the words just started coming out and she couldn’t stop herself. Jada is sure Talia is furious with her. Jada wants to go back and talk with her but Rafe stops her and says this is very emotional for her and her instincts are off, so she should just wait until tomorrow morning. Jada agrees to giving Talia time to cool off. Talia then comes downstairs so Jada calls out to her, asking if they can talk this out but Talia keeps walking and exits the Pub.

Sloan finishes going over her client’s testimony and says she did perfect and to do that in court tomorrow. Colin continues listening in as the client tells Sloan that she’s heard rumors of charges against her and asks if she should be looking for a backup lawyer. Sloan says absolutely not and that they have nothing to worry about. Sloan argues that the police have no case against her because she’s innocent. Sloan adds that she doesn’t know who is after Paulina and Chanel, but it certainly isn’t her. Colin then gets a text from Talia, telling him that her sister just accused her of breaking in to Paulina’s office. Colin texts her back, questioning why.

Talia sits at the Bistro and texts Colin back that she’ll explain later as she was able to lie her way out of it but wonders if she should call off her date. Colin texts her back, assuring that she’s got this. Talia responds that she’s so nervous and worries about Chanel figuring out that this is all a charade or sensing that she’s not in to women. Chanel then arrives at the Bistro.

Stefan tells Gabi that he’s going for a run by the lake, joking that he has to stay in shape for her. Stefan invites her to join him. Gabi says she’d love to but she wants to send her report in as soon as possible since it’s fun to get under EJ’s skin. Stefan notes that they should expect some pushback since EJ gives as good as he gets. Gabi assures they can hold their own, outsmart, outshine, and run circles around EJ and Nicole. Stefan says they will, but this can’t go on forever, and eventually they are going to oust EJ from DiMera for good.

Sloan runs in to EJ outside of the Brady Pub. Sloan doesn’t think they have been properly introduced. EJ says it’s nice to meet her, though it feels like they’ve already met since he recalls they spent a painfully awkward Valentine’s Day where their dates spent a lot of time trying to ignore each other. Sloan agrees that was extremely painful, although not half as painful as the other day when she caught Eric and Nicole in bed together which shocks EJ.

Nicole tells Eric that she should go, but first she just wants to stay that in spite of how she feels about Sloan, she hopes they work out. Nicole knows she’s said this for many years but she repeats that she just wants him to be happy. Eric tells her the same, even if it’s with EJ. Nicole then walks away.

EJ questions what Sloan said about catching Nicole and Eric in bed together. Sloan apologizes as she assumed that he knew.

Rafe reminds Jada that they are splitting the french fries but Jada says she’s no longer hungry. Jada asks what Rafe thought about Talia’s story about her room key. Rafe says it mostly made sense. Jada finds it strange that Talia never said anything before about it. Rafe keeps going back to Talia not having a motive and questions why she would go after Paulina and Chanel.

Colin approaches Sloan’s client, Connie, at the bar and introduces himself as Logan. He says he overheard her conversation and understands that her lawyer may have a bit of legal trouble. Connie talks about hoping she can trust Sloan. Colin assures that he’s positive that she’s innocent and calls it just a feeling, remarking that he’s been told that he’s an excellent judge of character.

Chanel and Talia hug and compliment each other’s outfits. They say they are glad they are doing this. Chanel knows dating women is new for her so there is no pressure or expectations at all and they can just take things slow which she thinks would be good for both of them. Talia thanks her and says she appreciates that. They then look at the menu to decide what to order.

EJ questions Sloan about Eric and Nicole being in bed together. Sloan explains that it was the drugged biscuits so it wasn’t planned or anything and that’s why she thought Nicole would’ve told him. EJ confirms that she did not. Sloan repeats that it was the drugs and meant nothing. Sloan adds that she’s not losing sleep over it, so he shouldn’t either. EJ thanks her for the heads up as Sloan then walks away. EJ sits down on the bench and thinks back to overhearing Nicole saying she didn’t want EJ to know their secret on the phone. EJ realizes Nicole’s secret was that she slept with Eric. Eric then comes around the corner.

Nicole goes home to the DiMera Mansion where Gabi asks if EJ tracked her down. Nicole says no and asks why. Gabi explains that EJ was upset about the performance review she gave him and complains that he doesn’t know how to take constructive criticism. Nicole bets it was real constructive. Gabi says the board will be very interested to hear what she has to say as she was just about to send in her scathing review. Nicole responds that she’ll also be sending them her scathing review of Stefan. Nicole pulls out her laptop but then begins suffering stomach pains, causing Gabi to ask if she’s alright.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Auntie Mag. Sorry I’m late. That’s it. Sorry you’re late. Not even a decent excuse. Well, or even a fabricated one. I actually, I was with Gwen and I was letting her stop. Stop. Alex, really, seriously, you have the nerve. To tell me that you couldn’t make it to work on time because you were having a booty call with that woman.

No, I’m telling you that I’m late because I was letting that woman know that our booty calls are over.

Oh, wow. I hate seeing my gwenny looking. So glm just stop staring then and go back to your. Phone or whatever, but I wanna be here for you. And you know, it’s so late if Alex, Kiki had been my friend with benefits and he suddenly cut off those benefits, my pennies is being a twist too. You know damn well that that is not what I’m upset about.

Well, it’s one of the things, right? And the reason I didn’t bring up the other thing is because I’m your best friend, and I know that the other thing is the painful thing, whereas the thing with Alex is more of an insulting, irritating thing. So I thought. It’d be something of a distraction to bring up that thing rather than the really, really hurtful thing, you know?

No, I don’t, I haven’t. The funs idea of what you are rambling on about. Well, that’s because you’re obsessing over Xander. Poor Gwenny. Oh. Could you just stop being so patronizing? You know, I hate that damo. Are you sure that Sandra and Chloe are, are really moving in together now? I wish it weren’t so. What I saw with my own two eyes, your cock doodle do.

And that songbird definitely looking to nest. And they actually bought the apartment. Yep. And the crazy thing is right before they decided it was right for them, Brady showed up to look at the same apartment for him and his bratty kid. As soon as he sees Chloe, he gets this miserable look on his face just like that one.

And he was hell bent on talking her out of it.

Chloe, look, I, I know that things have been challenging for us lately, but, but moving none with Xander. I mean, you say your friends, but what kind of friendship can you have with this guy? I mean, he’s, he’s distrustful. He. He’s made enemies left and right, including you at one point in time. I mean, I don’t understand why you wanna make a home with him.

Because to be honest, I am lonely and he’s good company. Chloe, if he wants to move in with you and he’s, he’s offered to foot the bill, that’s because he’s expecting something is going to happen. Please don’t do this. Don’t make this kind of a mistake that you and I both know that you’ll regret. Oh, hey, I thought that was Baker Girl’s room.

Bakery. Yo, who the hell is that? The girl that works with Chanel that sweet bit, believe her names Talia.

Um, why did you do that? Listen to me. Hi. And listen. Good before that bitch killed my mother. She broke her heart when she went for my father. So now it’s time to see how she likes having her heart broken. She’s already had her heart broken her ex cheated on her, and then moved to a different continent, which is why it’s the perfect time for you to swoop in and sweep her off her feet, and then break a little heart all over again.

Why did you kiss me, Talia?

Okay, thanks. Yep. Hey, just spoke with Paulina Price and reviewed her statement with her. You got something maybe, uh, turns out there was an opportunity for Sloan to have gotten a hold of Paulina’s office keys. I knew it, but Sloan wasn’t the only one. Turns out my sister had the same opportunity.

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

You really think your sister had something to do with this? I’m just going by what was taught to us at the Academy Boss gathering all the facts. Don’t rush to judgment what we think doesn’t matter. It’s what we know. True. So what do we know? We know that Tallier Rens, Paulina Price at the square and so did Sloan Peterson, who has made it no secret that she is gonna continue to pursue her vendetta against Paulina and Chanel.

Sloan also had motive to trash Paulina’s office, whereas your sister did not. In fact, from what I have witnessed, your sister has no reason whatsoever to want hurt Paulina. In fact, she works for Paulina’s daughter. You said that she and Chanel get along great, didn’t you?

Sorry. I guess I was just caught in a moment. Now I, I wasn’t looking for an apology, Talia. Yeah, I know, but I owe you one. You’ve been upset, you know, with everything going on and. The last thing I want is to take advantage of that. It’s okay. It’s just, I, it kind of surprised me. I, I didn’t even know you were into girls.

I’m not. At least I wasn’t. And so now, I mean, I’ve only dated guys before. And I don’t have to tell you, you know how baking is all about chemistry? Yeah. So it’s physical attraction, right? And there’s no denying that there’s real chemistry between me and you. Look, it’s not like this was a premeditated thing.

I mean, you were in my arms and it felt right and you know, kissing. You just felt like it was supposed to happen. Yeah, it felt right to me too. But you just broke up with your girlfriend, so maybe it’s too soon to do something with me. Actually, maybe it isn’t.

I don’t know any. Tanya, I said, Talia, whatever. I don’t know any Talia either. I think you have the wrong room. Um, she definitely saw her here. I know. Cause I, I live right down the hall here. My friend, uh, Chloe and I, we bumped into her recently coming out of that room.

Listen, I appreciate your concern for me, Brady, but if my moving in with Xander’s a mistake, then. It’s my mistake to make, but Chloe, God, it affects me too. See, don’t you, don’t you understand that? I see. I care about you, Chloe and I, I love you.

I love you too, but I think it’s time for United Admit that in our case, love is not enough.

What are you, what are you saying? I am saying that you and I are over. You don’t mean that. You don’t mean that. Come on, Brady. You and I both know that we’ve been done for a while now. We’ve just been in denial about it ever since Rachel started hating me and you had to put her feelings first. She’s my daughter.

I know that. I know that. And I don’t blame you for that. I’m a mom too. I understand. What is. It’s like to prioritize your child. Look, listen, listen to me. Rachel’s a kid. She’s a little girl. She’s, she’s not always gonna feel the way she feels right now. She’s gonna come to realize that, that, that, that you make her father happy.

It’s not gonna matter to her cuz she also sees me as the person who makes her mother miserable. And you and I both know all too well that Kristen fueled that fire she made Rachel believe that the only thing standing in the way of the three of you being this happy little family is me. So what’s, what are we, we’re just gonna let Kristen win.

Is that it? No. No. No one wins in this. Kristen got Rachel to hate me, but she didn’t get you to fall back in love with her. And Rachel got her way by keeping us apart, but her parents still aren’t together. And you ready? You are the man that I fell in love with. You are so full of hope and so joyful. And little by little, I have witnessed that that joyfulness and that hopefulness just steadily being eaten away.

And I know why. It’s because you are her wonderful father and you can’t stand seeing your girl suffer. But the way that Kristen regards me and the way that she’s influenced Rachel to regard me, I am indirectly responsible for that pain and I can’t in good conscience continue with that.

I can’t believe this, and, and Chloe moving in together, I mean, She is such a boar, completely humorous. There’s not an ounce of a spark to the woman. And not to mention the fact that I, I thought that she hated Sandra because he left her with some Mexican drug, Lord. So why a sudden 180? I mean, it just doesn’t, it doesn’t make sense.

And I know that he and I weren’t perfect together, but I mean, Really, really, really good times. You know, a lot of romance and laughter. Laughter. My God, I can’t even imagine him laughing with Chloe Lane cause she’s such a,

is everything just. Oh, everything’s just such a struggle. Why? Matt? Why? Why? That’s it, girl. That’s it. Let it all out.

Hey, hey. If it’s any consolation, it is a two bedroom apartment. What two bedrooms sink. Two bedrooms, that that means that they have their own room, although the second bedroom would make for a great office or a workout room for that. Scotty Hotty. Oh, Gwenny. Come on. I’m just trying to lighten the mood. Put the pillow down.

Come on. You know what you need to get you through this. What? A giant dartboard with zanders bubbly mug on it. That, but I was thinking a nice bottle of tequila. Two pints of ice cream. No. Make it three. You could use one too. Strawberry, right? I’m going to dial a broom. Service. No, don’t you dare. Look, I don’t know what you think you saw.

But this is my room. And if there was some random girl coming and going, believe me, I would notice. I’m sure this is the room. I saw that tell you, girl, come out. What are you the house, dick? Excuse me mate. No offense mate. It’s just slang. For hotel detective, they used to say it all the time in those old black and white noir films, you know, the ones where people have questioned more moral character, give each other trouble of some sort.

Jada, where is this coming from? Has Taja done something like this before? Something to make you suspect her of these pretty egregious offenses? No. No. God no. No, no, and and it’s hard for me to even come up with a reason why Talia would wanna hurt Chanel or her family. But I also know that I need to put my personal biases aside and look at all of the possibilities as hard as it may be, and both my sister and Sloan Peterson had the opportunity to steal Paulina’s keys from her purse when she left it unattended.

Okay. I can’t argue with your logic, but Yep. I think I may have found a hole in your theory.

I was talking to Commissioner Hernandez in his office and he had this picture of Allie and her son Henry on his desk, and she had just sent it to him. Allie’s your ex. Right. And she and the commissioner are there real close and he told me that she started seeing someone in New Zealand. Well, he didn’t actually tell me that.

I just, um, I asked and he didn’t say anything, which was obviously his way of telling me that yes, she is seeing someone. Sorry. Yeah. Well, I’m not all that surprised anyway. Now you know why the health department shutting us down is only part of the reason why today has been such a rough day for me. So you and your ex, you guys were pretty serious.

We were. And then we hit this rough patch and then I, I thought that we were gonna be able to figure things out and work it out. But then I caught her with this guy, Alex, and, well, that was pretty much the end of us. So you and Gwen Oh, sit, sit. Are done seeing each other.

Auntie I, um, I started some therapy with Dr. Evans and she helped me realize that all this sleeping around that I’m doing, it’s actually my way of avoiding any commitment and not just to a particular woman, but in everything else in my life. Hmm. Well, I’m, I’m glad to, um, hear that you see that, Alex. Well, good, because as of right now, I’m putting all of my energy into my commitment at Titan.

I’m gonna show you firsthand that I am dead serious about doing my part in contributing to the growth and the success of our family business. Excuse me. Hello? Hello, Victor, will you sound upset dear. Could you slow down? What?

Are you sure what a says? Oh, oh my God. Oh my God. Whoa. Whoa. What’s going on? Mun Victor’s son, your cousin Bob Brady is alive.

You’ve made it clear we are a teen sea bit overextended when it comes to our tab at this fine establishment, but a girl’s gotta eat a teen sea bit overextended. Phyllis is this close to seizing the spectator and auctioning it off to pay off this massive hotel bill. No tequila fine. It’s not the expensive stuff.

What if we settled on a cheap bottle of wine and two fruit cups? Wow, my mouth is watering.

All joking aside, I know that losing Xander was a huge loss for you. You need to mourn that loss. So if you need to yell, scream, throw pillows, just not at me. You do whatever you need to do to get a handle on your feelings. I’m here for you. Thank you, Matt. And you’re right, I do. Oh, do you really need to just vent and just get it out and just cry and scream and just throw things?

I need to just really mourn the loss as you put it. I need to stop pretending to be so tough and invulnerable.

You know, I was talking about that earlier with Alex Keis before he dumped you too. I am so sorry. That just slipped out.

Bo has been dead for years. Yeah. Or so we thought. And he’s just, he’s alive. I mean that’s, that’s wild. That’s great news. Yeah, but there’s some bad news as well. Bo’s in a coma in a hospital in Greece, and they’re not sure he is ever gonna wake up. Oh my God. I’ve only heard a million times from Uncle Vic about his son and how proud he is of him and how much he loves him, and that’s why he’s fueling up the Titan jet as we speak.

He’s planning to fly to Greece and do everything he can to make sure that that Beau is getting the best possible care. I mean, honestly, I, I have never heard Victor this emotional, but then why wouldn’t he be, I mean, everything, any of him just aches to be with Bo the son. The son, he thought he lost Auntie.

I can only imagine what he’s going through right now. You know what? Why don’t you go to Greece, go with Uncle Vic. I will handle all the business here if you give me that chance.

This is the police report that Sean filed before he went to Greece and he took following a statement after her office was vandalized. What’s it say? Well, I’m looking at the times here, and we know that when Pauline had got to her office with Stephanie, she opened her office with her own keys, which was very soon after she had left the square where she ran into Sloan and Talia.

So if either my sister or Sloan lifted Paulina’s keys while they were in the square, they would’ve had very little time to go make a copy of the key. And then come back and return the original key somehow to Paulina’s Purse so she could open her office door. Exactly. I have to admit, even though Allie is halfway around the world, I, I still thought that maybe we would somehow find her way back to each other.

But now she’s moved on. That’s right. So maybe I should just move on too.

What’s the problem? She’s into women. You’re a woman. Yeah, but I’m not gay. I’m not even, bye babe. Come. All. I really want just you. Okay. Elise. That’s what I thought you wanted too, but it seems like you’re trying to pit me out. No, no, not at all. I only want you to, this won’t be real, at least not for us.

Chanel on the other hand, She’s gonna fall a head over heel for you cuz how could anyone know

what? You’ll commit a crime for me. But you won’t kiss a girl, babe. It’s more than she’s kissing. You’re asking me to lead her on and then break her heart. Chanel maybe if we shouldn’t do this. Yeah, I’ve seen those old movies, but. Not your type of films. There you are. More of a romcom type bloke. Kanye, where are you from anyway?

What’s that? London eye detect. How about this? I won’t ask you any questions about who’s coming in and out of your room, and you don’t ask me any questions about who’s coming and outta my head. Whatever. I’m here to pack up my stuff anyway. I’m finally moving out. This’s. Roy’s my turn. Good. Sounds like we won’t have a problem then.

Will we? Wish I could say it’s been a pleasure.

The Vern’s getting bigger and creepier. Good thing I’m getting outta here. You say it’s not about my feelings for you. How could it be? It’s ever since Kristen got to Rachel, I felt responsible for the suffering of a child. And once I realized that I couldn’t change that I, I couldn’t get Rachel to like me and see me for who I am, it just became more and more intolerable for me that I was the cause of her suffering.

And that girl has had a hard enough life without having someone who she perceives as being the only thing that stands in the way of her having her family together. Chloe? Chloe. Chloe. I understand.

Thank you for that.

I understand that this is hard for you too, and I’m sorry, I, I’m sorry, but like I said before, you are, you’re an amazing father and I respect that so much. And nothing, nothing is more important than that.

God. So, um, This is it. I mean,

oh, I thought I wasn’t, I wasn’t gonna share this with you, but, oh. This morning I was feeling, I was feeling really sad about us and I was alone, and I decided I wanted to sing to try to cheer myself up. And the first song that came to my mind was, and I Will Always Love You.

It didn’t cheer me out. No. That, that, that selection would not do the trick, but it wouldn’t. And the lyrics, the lyrics did ring true because Brady, I will, I will always love you.

I’ll always love you.

Why do you think this isn’t a good idea? Doya? It’s like you just said, there’s real chemistry between us. Wait, is, is this because you’re not sure about being with a woman? No. That’s not it. Okay. Then what is it? I mean, you made a pretty bold move when you decided you wanted to kiss me and you just went for it and now you’re pulling back why I can’t think I can do this.

You know how important this is to you.

When this is finally over, I’ll be okay. No more mood swings. And more crazy depression because I’ll feel like I’ve got justice for my mom and we will be so happy together.

I love you so, so much. You love me sweet, don’t you? Because you’re my boss. I mean, how would that look? A boss and her employee hooking up, at least for my sister Jada’s job, they have policies against it and that’s what’s standing in the way of her getting with her boss. You know, commissioner Heidi. So maybe it wasn’t Sloane Peterson or Talia who trashed Pauline In’s office.

Maybe it was someone else entirely. Sloan Peterson swears she had nothing to do with it. And I certainly hope my sister didn’t either.

What is it you? You know there’s a small, a mom and pop hardware store just off the square. It would only take a person a few minutes who is very motivated to run over there and get a copy made. Everyone thinks Uncle Vic is so strong. But we all know that you are the one who keeps him strong. Auntie, you are his rock.

That’s why you need to go be with him in Greece. What do you think? I’m just having misgivings about leaving right now. Alex, I mean, the last time that I trusted you, uh, with autonomy, you, you. It’s undermined my authority as the head of this company and then you, you compromise the values that I had laid out.

I can’t deny that. I also can’t deny that you’ve been generous enough to give me far more chances than I deserved, which is hardly the argument for me to give you another one. And I admit that I have had some poor judgment in the past. I’ve made some errors. But I think I have made it very clear that there is nothing that matters more to me than my family.

That’s why I’m asking you. I’m pleading with you. Go be with Uncle Victor in Greece. He’s about to go through something very difficult, very emotional. Also miraculous. That’s why he needs you.

Okay. Okay then. Um, but this is your last chance. To prove that you are committed to this company and to this family,

and this is, it’s a very important deal to tighten. It’s hugely important. In fact, the details are all laid out. The plans are in place. I have done all the heavy lifting, so you don’t have to do anything other than just close the deal.

I am not going to let you down, auntie, promise you,

you know, I was only using Alex to, to make Xander jealous and to get over him.

You see, I truly believe that Zander would stick around. There was something about the way that he looked at me and the way that he’d make me laugh, the way I made him laugh. How we

accepted each other’s weaknesses are many. Weaknesses for we, we still see the good in each other.

I’ve never felt such a deep connection to anyone ever like that before.

I’ve never had that ever. Never ever.

I really hope you do get it one day. I really do, because honestly, yes. Who’s the best feeling of all to know that somebody sees you for you with all of your faults and still loves you?

And so therefore you, you see yourself through their eyes and it look makes you love yourself more. You know?

I feel that with you, Gwenny. You make me feel that way.

I doing with you too. Damn. Only we wanted to jump each other’s bones. You finally,

I’m really sorry it didn’t work out for you and Xander, and I’m sorry that I had to be the one to tell you that he’s moving in with Chloe. Yeah, well that’s all right, cuz as you said, I would’ve found out eventually, wouldn’t I?

You know what I.

I think I need to get some,

I have to go out and and figure out how I’m gonna say goodbye to the only man that I truly love.

So let’s go check out that hardware store then. Right. And we’ll show them Sloan and Talia’s picture and see if either one of them had to keep me that day. Yeah.

Talia, I know they have rules like that for the Salem PD and other places too, obviously about the so-called inappropriate relationships between bosses and subordinates or whatever. But it’s like you said, I’m the boss here at Sweet Bits, and there isn’t any policy to stop me from being with someone. I like if it’s consensual, obviously.

And. To be honest, I don’t even know if you working here for me is even going to be an issue anymore with the shutdown. I don’t know if a sweet bits can survive this. Look, I know you okay, well, at least I’m getting to know you, so that’s why I’m confident you’re gonna figure out a way to keep this place going.

And if I do, It will be because I have someone like you in my corner, someone who has my back, someone I can trust.

And I, I, I feel like I can trust you, Toya, and especially with everything I’ve been going through lately, it just means so much to me. Oh, sorry. I better check this. Sure.

Everything okay? Yeah. Um,

okay. Well, um, I’m gonna stay here and clean up a little bit more. I can help you. No, it’s, it’s okay. I can handle it. But how about I meet you later? Like for a date? What do you think? You can maybe talk some more and. See where it goes. Hi. Sure. Okay, well, um, dinner at Bistro.

Hey, so, uh, what I walked in on earlier was you and Brady. Does that mean you guys are. I’m back together because if you decided you don’t want to move in with me, I totally understand. I mean, I’ll figure something out. I don’t really need two bedrooms, but who knows? Maybe I’ll find another roommate, Andrew.

No, it’s okay. You don’t have to find another roommate. No, no. When you walked in on me and Brady, that was goodbye.

So I hear that Zander and Chloe are shacking up, get drown sorrows together.

Our first meal in our new place. Yeah. We’re lucky to have that great Italian restaurant down the block. Many others. Whoa. Do you always order pizza with that much sausage, pepperoni, and bacon? I’m an unapologetic carnival. Chloe, get used to it. Oh, uh, I don’t Suppose you want a slice of my half for the pizza.

Oh, the side that’s covered in. Disgustingly healthy spinach and slimy mushrooms. Now that’s all you always, I’ve enjoyed. Oh, but I would like to make a toast.

Thank you.

You better off with that, him, Chloe. Yeah. Right. And you are better off without her. Although I’m not sure which her I’m actually referring to. Does it matter? Alright. I’ve had to better toast a jolly or one one that’s a bit more future oriented. I can get behind that to my charming roommate, to my carnivorous, remain.

Who can also be quite charming when he sets his mind to it.

And what are you drinking? It’s club soda. Mm. Well, I’m gonna need something just a tad stronger. Scotch rocks. Perhaps perhaps two or three if the waitress ever bloody comes round. It’s funny, I, I heard that you recently gave up scotch. Yeah, I had actually, then I picked up the scotch again. I do admire you though for remaining abstinence, even under very trying circumstances.

I’m sorry about you and Chloe. Thank you. I wish I could say the same about you and my cousin, but he’s a swine and an idiot, so I think it would be an understatement to say that you’re better off without him. Maybe your best without Chloe. Now, why the hell would you say something like that to me? So it’s fine for you to tell me that I’m better off without Xander and that he’s swine an idiot.

But I’m meant to sing Chloe’s praises. I’m gonna stop you right there. Listen, whatever you had. Well, Xander is nothing compared to what I had with Chloe. Okay? Ah, angry, drunk. Who doesn’t drink? If you think that we’re just gonna. Crown each other’s shoulders or something. Gwen, look at me. Do I look like I’m crying?

Bloody hell, I need that drink. White dress. Come on.

Well, I made all the arrangements. I’m gonna wave Victor to Greece to see Bob. Ah, and I’m getting myself up to speed with this amazing deal that you set up for Titan Auntie. Trust me, you are not gonna be sorry for letting me handle this, okay? Well just stick to what I laid out in this folder and, um, when I come back, tighten you and I, we ah, will all be in a better place.

Bye-bye Alex. Good Uncle Vic, my love

Chanel Dupree as I live. Andre. Hi Leah. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. At least tell me how the wedding planning is coming along. I’m guessing it’s gonna be quite the affair since you’re marrying a rich and powerful demira again. Okay, I’m gonna tell you again, like I told you before, lady Whistle blow hard.

Johnny and I are just friends and the engagement that never was is off. In fact, I have a date tonight. Well, someone else. Whoa, lucky you. So male, female, cisgender, transgender, non-binary, gender queer, a gender pan, gender two-spirit, third, gender, any combination thereof. Wouldn’t you like to know?

Hello? How’d it go? Well, I have dinner tonight with Chanel at the bistro. Ooh, that’s fancy. Hold on, and I can tell just how excited you are about it. Why would I be, I’m leading someone on deceiving her planning to get her into my bed just so I can dump her and break her heart. Why would I be happy about that, Colin?

I do have a conscience. You know? I know you do. And I respect you for that of course. But this woman killed my mother in the most horrible way possible. You seem to forget that. No, I haven’t forgotten that. It’s just, come on. I can’t help but feel for her. Even so, right. I need you to fight that feeling.

Okay. And I need you to do this for me. I know you will because we love each other and you know, How important this is to me. You do, don’t you?

Yeah, I do.

We had a break in a few years back. Hope Brady helped us find a concrete. She still in charge? No, I’m the commissioner now. Oh. So to confirm, You’re the only one who makes keys in your store. Yep. Just let it all me. Alright. Should uh, this woman come in and make a copy of the key a few weeks ago?

No. I remember such a pretty lady.

How about this Pretty lady? Oh yeah. I remember her real well, not only because she was an icap, but she was in a hell of a rush.

Days of Our Lives Update

Days of Our Lives logo

Update written by Joseph

Maggie is working at the Titan office as Alex arrives and apologizes for being late. Maggie questions if he doesn’t even have an excuse. Alex admits that he was with Gwen. Maggie stops him and complains that he has the nerve to tell her that he couldn’t make it to work because he was having a booty call with Gwen. Alex clarifies that he was telling her that he was telling Gwen that their booty calls are over.

Leo tells Gwen that he hates seeing her look so glum and he wants to be there for her. Leo relates that he would feel the same if Alex cut him off too. Gwen argues that is not what she’s upset about. Leo says he didn’t want to bring that up and knows she’s obsessing over Xander. Gwen asks if he’s sure that Xander and Chloe are really moving in together. Leo wishes it wasn’t so, but he saw it with his own eyes and they actually got the apartment. Leo adds that before they decided on it, Brady showed up to the same apartment and he was hellbent on talking Chloe out of it.

Brady tells Chloe that he knows things have been challenging for them but questions what kind of friendship she could have with Xander. Brady brings up all the enemies that Xander has made, including Chloe at one point, and doesn’t understand why she would want to make a home with him. Chloe admits that she’s lonely and Xander is good company. Brady argues that Xander is moving in with her and footing the bill because he’s expecting something to happen between them. Brady warns Chloe not to make this mistake that they both know she will regret.

Xander walks down the hall at his motel and sees Colin going back to his room. Xander stops and comments that he thought that was Talia’s room.

At the Bakery, Talia kisses Chanel until Chanel pulls away and questions why she did that. Talia thinks back to Colin instructing her to break Chanel’s heart. Chanel asks Talia again why she kissed her.

Jada goes to Rafe’s office and says she just reviewed Paulina’s statement with her. Rafe asks if she got something. Jada says maybe as it turns out that Sloan did have an opportunity to get Paulina’s keys, but she’s not the only one as it turns out that Talia had the same opportunity. Rafe questions Jada really thinking her sister had something to do with this. Jada says she’s just gathering all the facts and not rushing to judgment. Jada goes over that Talia ran in to Paulina in the town square. Rafe talks about how Sloan has made it clear that she is continuing her vendetta against Paulina and Chanel. Rafe adds that Sloan also had motive to trash Paulina’s office while Talia did not. Rafe feels Talia has no reason whatsoever to want to hurt Paulina and that she works for Chanel and they get along great.

Talia apologizes and guesses she was just caught in the moment. Chanel says she wasn’t asking for an apology. Talia says that Chanel has been upset with everything going on and she doesn’t want to take advantage of that. Chanel says it’s okay and just kind of surprised her as she didn’t’ even know Talia was in to girls. Talia says she’s not or at least she wasn’t until now. Talia admits she’s only dated guys before and talks about physical attraction. Talia says there is no denying there’s chemistry between them. Talia claims it wasn’t pre-meditated and that Chanel was in her arms and that kissing her just felt like it was supposed to happen. Chanel admits that it felt right to her too. Talia brings up that Chanel just broke up with her girlfriend so maybe it’s too soon to do something with her, but Chanel says maybe it isn’t.

Colin claims to Xander that he doesn’t know Talia so he must have the wrong room. Xander recalls he definitely seeing Talia since he lives down the hall and he bumped in to her recently, coming out of that room.

Chloe appreciates Brady’s concern but says if moving in with Xander is a mistake then it’s her mistake to make. Brady argues that it affects him too because he loves her. Chloe cries that she loves him too, but she thinks it’s time for them to admit that in their case, love is not enough. Brady questions what she is saying. Chloe responds that they are over. Brady argues that she doesn’t mean that. Chloe argues that they both know they’ve been done for awhile and have just been in denial about it. Chloe talks about Rachel hating her and Brady having to put her feelings first. Chloe doesn’t blame him for that as she’s a mom too and understands prioritizing the child. Brady argues that Rachel is a kid and won’t always feel this way. Brady says Rachel will realize that Chloe makes him happy. Chloe feels it won’t matter since Rachel also sees her as the person who makes her mother miserable. Chloe talks about Kristen making Rachel believe that she is the only thing standing in the way of them being a happy family. Brady questions letting Kristen win. Chloe says nobody wins in this since Kristen got Rachel to hate her, but Kristen didn’t get Brady to fall back in love with her. Chloe adds that Rachel got her away from Brady but she didn’t get her parents back together. Chloe talks about Brady having hope and joy but watching that get eaten away because he can’t stand seeing his daughter suffer. Chloe feels indirectly responsible for that pain and says she can’t in good conscience continue with that.

Gwen can’t believe Xander and Chloe are moving in together. Gwen calls Chloe boring and humorless with no spark. Gwen thought Chloe hated Xander because he left her with a Mexican drug lord. Gwen argues that the sudden 180 makes no sense. Gwen continues to complain about Chloe and questions why everything is such a struggle. Gwen screams in to a pillow as Leo encourages her to let it all out. Leo points out that it is a two bedroom apartment which Gwen acknowledges is a good thing. Leo then notes the second bedroom could be an office or a gym which makes Gwen scream again. Leo encourages they get tequila and ice cream to get through this but Gwen stops him from ordering room service.

Colin tells Xander that he doesn’t know what he thinks he saw, but this is his room and he’s sure he would notice if some random girl came in and out of it. Xander is sure it’s the room that he saw Talia come out of. Colin questions if he’s the hotel detective.

Rafe asks Jada where this is coming from and if Talia has done anything before to make her suspect her. Jada says no and admits it’s hard to come up with a reason for why Talia would want to hurt Chanel or her family, but she knows she needs to look at all the possibilities. Jada states that both Talia and Sloan had the opportunity to steal Paulina’s keys when they were left unattended. Rafe won’t argue with her logic but thinks he may have found a hole in her theory.

Chanel tells Talia that she was talking to Rafe in his office and he had a picture of Allie and Henry on his desk that she had just sent to him. Chanel adds that Rafe didn’t answer when she asked if Allie was seeing someone in New Zealand so she obviously is. Talia says she’s sorry. Chanel says she’s not surprised but that’s why the health department shutting them down is only part of the reason that the day is so rough for her. Talia asks if Chanel and Allie were pretty serious. Chanel says they were, but then they hit a rough patch and she thought they would work it out but then she caught her with Alex and that was the end of them.

Alex assures Maggie that he and Gwen are done seeing each other. Alex explains that he started therapy with Marlena, who helped him realize that all of his sleeping around was his way of avoiding commitment. Maggie is glad to hear that he sees that. Alex declares that as of now, he’s putting all his energy in to his commitment at Titan and will show her that he’s dead serious in doing his part in contributing to the growth and success of the family business. Maggie then gets a call from Victor and notes that he sounds upset. Maggie asks if he’s sure and is shocked as Alex asks what’s going on. Maggie announces that Victor’s son and Alex’s cousin, Bo Brady, is alive.

Leo decides Gwen made it clear that they are overextended on their tab at the room. Gwen complains about the massive hotel bill. Leo suggests settling on a cheap bottle of wine and fruit cups. Leo tells Gwen that he knows losing Xander was a huge loss for her and she needs to mourn that loss, so she can do whatever she needs to get a handle on her feelings and he will be there for her. Gwen thanks him and admits she really does need to vent and just get it out and mourn the loss. Gwen says she needs to stop pretending to be so tough and invulnerable and notes that she talked about that with Alex. Leo remarks that he then dumped her too and then apologizes for that slipping out.

Alex questions Bo being alive after being dead for years. Alex calls it wild but great news. Maggie adds that there is bad news as well since Bo is in a coma at a hospital in Greece and they’re not sure he’s ever going to wake up. Alex talks about hearing from Victor about how much he loved Bo and how proud he was of him. Maggie says that’s why Victor is fueling up the jet as they speak as he’s planning on flying to Greece to make sure Bo is getting the best possible care. Maggie says she’s never heard Victor this emotional as everything in him aches to be with Bo, the son that he thought he lost. Alex can only imagine what he’s going through. Alex suggests Maggie go with Victor to Greece while he will handle all the business here if she gives him that chance.

Rafe goes over the police report that Shawn filed before going to Greece with the times of events. Rafe notes that Paulina went to her office with her own keys not long after it was vandalized so if Sloan or Talia took them, they would have had very little time to return them.

Chanel admits that even though Allie is halfway around the world, she thought they might find their way back to each other but now Allie has moved on. Chanel decides maybe she should move on too and begins kissing Talia. Talia thinks back to Colin telling her of their plan. Talia then pulls away and tells Chanel that maybe they shouldn’t do this.

Xander questions where Colin is from and asks if his accent is from London. Colin suggests they don’t ask each other about who is coming in and out of their rooms. Xander says he’s packing up anyway as he’s finally moving out of this motel. Colin guesses they won’t have a problem then and goes in to his room. Xander remarks that he’s glad to be getting out of here.

Chloe cries to Brady that it’s not about her feelings for him but ever since Kristen got to Rachel, she’s felt responsible for the suffering of a child and she couldn’t get Rachel to like her. Chloe adds that Rachel has had a hard enough life without seeing her as the only thing standing in the way of having her family together. Brady says he understands. Chloe thanks him. Chloe understands it’s hard for him too and that nothing is more important than being a father. Brady asks if this is it then and it’s over. Chloe talks about feeling sad and wanting to sing to cheer herself up, but the first song that came to her mind was “I Will Always Love You”, which didn’t cheer her up. Chloe states that the lyrics did ring true because she will always love Brady. Brady responds that he will too as they kiss.

Chanel questions Talia not thinking this is a good idea when there is real chemistry between them. Chanel asks if she’s not sure about being with a woman but Talia says it’s not that. Chanel questions what it is then since Talia made a bold move in deciding to kiss her but now she’s pulling back and asks why. Talia thinks back to Colin insisting that she do this. Talia says that Chanel is her boss and asks how that would look for a boss and employee to be hooking up. Talia brings up the policy at Jada’s job and how that’s getting in the way of her getting with her boss.

Rafe tells Jada that maybe it wasn’t Sloan or Talia who trashed Paulina’s office but maybe someone else entirely. Jada brings up that Sloan swears she had nothing to do with it and she hopes that her sister didn’t either. Jada realizes there’s a hardware store in the town square, so it wouldn’t take long for someone to go and get a copy of Paulina’s key made.

Alex tells Maggie that everyone thinks Victor is so strong, but they all know that Maggie is what keeps him strong as his rock and that’s why she needs to go be with him in Greece. Maggie isn’t sure about leaving right now and brings up the last time she trusted Alex and how he undermined her authority and compromised the values of the company. Alex can’t deny that or that Maggie has been generous in giving him far more chances than he deserves. Alex admits he had poor judgment in the past and made some errors, but nothing matters more to him than his family. Alex pleads with Maggie to go be with Victor in Greece as he’s about to go through something very difficult, emotional, and miraculous which is why he needs her. Maggie then agrees to go but warns that this is Alex’s last chance to prove that he is committed to this company and the family. Maggie hands Alex the details on a huge deal for Titan, noting that he doesn’t have to do anything but close the deal. Alex promises that he won’t let her down.

Gwen admits to Leo that she was only using Alex to get over Xander. Gwen believed that Xander would stick around and talks about how they were together. Gwen says she never felt such a deep connection like that to someone ever before. Leo relates to never having that. Gwen hopes he gets it one day because it’s the best feeling of all to know that somebody sees you for you with all of your faults and still loves you. Gwen says it makes you love yourself more. Leo says that Gwen makes him feel that way and jokes that if only they wanted to jump each others’ bones. Leo tells Gwen that he’s sorry it didn’t work out with Xander and that he had to be the one to tell her about him moving in with Chloe. Gwen acknowledges that she would’ve found out eventually. Gwen decides she has to go get some air and figure out how to say goodbye to the only man that she ever truly loved.

Xander returns to the apartment and finds Brady and Chloe kissing. Brady then turns and exits as Chloe holds back tears.

Rafe suggests he and Jada go check out the hardware store. Jada decides they will show Sloan and Talia’s pictures to see if either of them had a key made that day.

Chanel tells Talia that places have rules like that about inappropriate relationships between bosses and subordinates, but she’s the boss here and there’s no policy to stop her from being with someone she likes and it’s consensual. Chanel adds that she doesn’t know if Talia working for her would even be an issue with the shutdown as she doesn’t know if the bakery can survive this. Talia encourages that she’s confident that Chanel will figure out a way to keep the place going. Chanel says that if she does, it will be because she has someone like Talia in her corner, who has her back and that she can trust…

Colin looks at his phone with the article about the Bakery being shut down and smiles. Colin then goes to text Talia.

Chanel tells Talia that she feels like she can trust her and that means so much to her. Talia then gets a text from Colin, asking how it’s going and if she’s got things cooking with her boss yet. Chanel asks if everything is okay. Talia claims it was just spam. Chanel says she’s going to stay and clean up a bit more. Talia offers to help but Chanel says she can handle it. Chanel then asks Talia on a date for later so they can talk more and see where it goes. Talia accepts so Chanel suggests dinner at the Bistro.

Xander asks Chloe if what he walked in on means that she and Brady are back together. Xander adds that he’ll totally understand if she no longer wants to move in together and says he’ll figure something out. Chloe stops him and says that what he walked in on with her and Brady was goodbye.

Brady sits at a table at the Brady Pub. Gwen joins him and says she hears Xander and Chloe are shacking up, so she asks if he wants to drown their sorrows together.

Xander brings in a pizza and beers as he and Chloe’s first meal together. They joke about each others’ pizza toppings. Xander toasts to Chloe being better off without Brady and then they toast to each other. Chloe acknowledges that Xander can be quite charming when he sets his mind to it.

Brady tells Gwen that he’s just drinking club soda. Gwen wants something stronger. Brady heard that she had given up drinking scotch. Gwen says she had but picked it back up again. Gwen admires Brady for not doing so in trying circumstances. Gwen says she’s sorry about he and Chloe. Brady thanks her and wishes he could say the same about her and Xander but he thinks she’s better off without him. Gwen suggests maybe he’s better off without Chloe. Brady questions why she would say that to him. Gwen questions it being fine for him to say about Xander but she’s supposed to sing Chloe’s praises. Brady argues that whatever she had with Xander doesn’t compare to what he had with Chloe. Gwen calls him an angry drunk who doesn’t drink. Brady asks if she thinks they are going to cry on each others’ shoulders. Gwen says she’s not crying but she needs that drink as they both yell for the waitress.

Maggie tells Alex that she got everything arranged to fly to Greece with Victor. Alex talks about going over the amazing deal she set up for Titan and promises that she won’t regret letting him handle it. Maggie reminds him to stick to what she laid out in the folder and then when she comes back, they will all be in a better place. Maggie then exits.

Chanel walks through the town square and runs in to Leo. Leo asks about her engagement to Johnny. Chanel repeats that they are just friends and the engagement is off. Chanel adds that she has a date tonight with someone else. Leo jokes about asking what gender it is. Chanel says he would like to know and walks away.

Talia returns to Colin at the motel. Colin asks how it went. Talia informs him that she has dinner tonight at the Bistro with Chanel. Colin calls that fancy and questions her not being excited about it. Talia asks why she would be excited when she is deceiving someone just to get her in bed to break her heart. Talia remarks that she does have a conscience. Colin says he respects her for that but Chanel killed his mother in the most horrible way possible and asks if she’s forgotten that. Talia assures that she hasn’t but she can’t help but feel for Chanel. Colin tells her to fight that feeling and do this for him. Colin knows she will because they love each other and she knows how important this is to him as they kiss.

Rafe and Jada meet with the hardware store owner in the town square. Rafe shows a photo of Sloan and asks if she came in to make a copy of a key a few weeks ago. He says no, insisting that he would remember such a pretty lady. Jada then shows a photo of Talia. The owner does remember Talia, noting that she was in a hell of a rush.

Update written by Joseph

At the police station, Jada is looking over Talia’s witness statement when Rafe arrives. Rafe tells Jada that he’s really sorry about this as he hands over his tablet, showing her Leo’s latest gossip column about them titled “Kissing Cops, Will They Be Cancelled?”, which leaves Jada outraged.

Leo sits down to eat room service in his room at the Salem Inn. Gwen stops him and can’t believe he spent $65 on breakfast. Gwen orders him to send it back but Leo says he can’t because he already took a bite. Leo adds that he ordered her some too. Gwen says she’s sorry but complains about how much they’ve spent on the place. Gwen brings up how management is about not paying rent promptly and says they can’t keep living like this. Gwen tells Leo no more massages, spas, or room service and that they need to find a new place to live. Alex then shows up at the door and asks Gwen if they can talk.

Xander and Chloe check out an apartment to possibly move in to. Chloe notes how she never expected to be doing this with him. Xander calls the unexpected fun. Xander praises the apartment and notes that most importantly it gets her out of the Salem Inn and him out of the dump he’s in.

Paulina joins Chanel in the town square and announces that she has ordered 200 bear claws to show the City Hall employees her appreciation. Chanel responds that she’s sorry but she can’t fill that order. Paulina says there’s no rush on the order and suggests cinnamon donuts instead. Paulina then asks why Chanel is looking so sad. Chanel responds that she can’t fill any order and reveals that the Bakery has been shut down by the health department due to a public health violation. Chanel announces that Sweet Bits is now out of business. Paulina sits with her and questions how they can do this without even warning her. Chanel says they left a message but she didn’t get it until just now. Paulina argues that this is wrong and unfair. Paulina wants to give them a piece of her mind but Chanel says not to. Paulina argues that this was Chanel’s dream and she’s not going to let someone just trample on it. Chanel admits it was her dream but declares that it’s now over. Paulina questions if this is just temporary until the investigation is resolved and they prove Sloan drugged the biscuits. Paulina believes everyone will come flocking back to the Bakery then. Chanel appreciates her optimism. Paulina refuses to allow Chanel to give up on her dream and declares that she will not stand for it.

Rafe understands why Jada is mad at Leo and says he is too as he’s a mean little creep but points out that this was obviously Sloan who leaked the story since she is the one who saw them together. Jada argues that Sloan also knows he was drugged but that’s not mentioned. Rafe says it’s good he disclosed everything to Abe before this story came out so he knows it was out of their control and won’t take action against them. Rafe states that he cannot wait to throw the book at that bitch. Rafe adds that since this was leak was intended to throw off their investigation, maybe he’ll throw obstruction of justice onto Sloan’s long list of charges. Jada says that’s assuming Sloan is the one who committed the crimes. Rafe questions if Jada is still thinking it could’ve been her sister.

Talia gets out of the shower while Colin is distracted by reading Leo’s column. Colin shows the article to Talia and points out that it’s about her sister.

Leo assumes he has to leave so Gwen and Alex can talk. Leo says he will take his champagne to go and will start hunting for an apartment for them as he then exits. Gwen tells Alex that this is a nice surprise. Alex admits he actually did want to talk. Alex knows it may seem sudden but he doesn’t think it’s a good idea that they see each other anymore.

Xander continues talking up the apartment while Chloe notes that she hasn’t agreed to anything yet. Xander worries that a place like this might go quick. Chloe doesn’t like being rushed in important decisions as she feels she needs to see more. Chloe sends Xander to go check the water pressure in the shower while she checks around for mold. Brady then walks in and sees Chloe. They ask each other what they are doing there. Brady explains that he’s looking at the apartment for himself and Rachel. Chloe reveals that she’s looking for an apartment too, noting that the Salem Inn keeps raising their rates and she’s not working. Brady points out that it’s a two bedroom apartment and questions why Chloe would move there if she’s cutting back. Xander then comes back in and tells Chloe that he thinks they should take it. Brady is shocked to see Xander and questions what the hell is this.

Gwen questions Alex breaking up with her. Alex says he’s just suggesting that they stop sleeping together. Gwen asks if there’s any particular reason. Alex tells her that he had another session with Marlena, who made him understand that this whole thing between them is actually part of his unhealthy pattern. Alex acknowledges that Gwen is hot, funny, and beautiful and he’s attracted to her so it’s going to be harder for him than walking away from any other vice. Alex says he decided to lean in to the whole no strings sex thing after screwing up with Stephanie, but Marlena made him realize that it’s not the best way to handle things and that he’s avoiding his feelings while using Gwen to do that which is not cool. Gwen tells Alex that she doesn’t mind being used. Alex insists that this isn’t healthy for either of them and he wants better for her. Alex thinks she should want better for herself too.

Talia complains that Leo’s article is unfair since Rafe only kissed Jada because he was high from the drugged biscuits. Talia feels terrible since Jada works so hard at her job and worries about her finding out if her own sister was behind it. Colin argues that she’s not to blame. Talia asks how he can say that when she is the one who tainted the biscuits. Colin says that’s only because Chanel tore apart his family and needs to pay for being a homewrecker and a murderer. Colin argues that it’s called justice and Talia was just righting a wrong out of love. Colin tells Talia that he loves her for it and kisses her. Colin thinks Leo has done them a favor and suggests now that the cops are distracted, maybe it’s time to turn up the heat on Chanel.

Chanel knows Paulina is just trying to lift her spirits. Paulina brings up Abe being Chanel’s stepfather but Chanel doesn’t want Abe dragged in to her mess. Paulina says it’s too late and calls it their mess. Paulina tells Chanel to sit there and not go anywhere as she walks away. Chanel then pulls out her phone.

Talia questions what Colin means by turning up the heat on Chanel. Talia then gets a phone call from Chanel. Talia answers and apologizes for being late. Chanel tells her not to worry because they’ve been shut down by the health department, so she was calling to tell her not to come in. Talia asks if she’s sure there is nothing she can do. Chanel responds that until they get to the bottom of this, there’s nothing anyone can do.

Jada tells Rafe that it’s still bothering her that Talia had the means and opportunity to tamper with the biscuits. Rafe points out that there’s still no motive. Jada complains about how Talia’s story kept coming out in pieces and she was forgetting things. Jada points out that Talia had a lack of an alibi and was one of the few people to have keys to the Bakery. Rafe notes that she didn’t have keys to Paulina’s office and that vandalism was likely from the same person. Jada says that’s unless they had an accomplice. Jada complains of shoulder pain. Rafe offers to help but then decides he better not.

Paulina returns to Chanel and tells her that Abe is in a meeting with the district attorney at the police station. Paulina wants to go track him down herself because there’s no way to stop her from doing what’s right for Chanel. Paulina talks about having obstacles in becoming a successful business woman. Paulina encourages that Chanel will push through this road block. Chanel then decides she’s coming with her. Paulina wants to take the head off the health inspector at city hall, but Chanel says there is something else she wants to do.

Rafe brings Jada some pills and water since they have to keep their distance. Rafe adds that he overheard that the Bakery has been shut down by the health department. Jada says that’s sad for Chanel but maybe this will force Talia to get the crazy idea out of her head to become the next cake boss and maybe she’ll use her medical training to actually save lives. Jada comments that once Talia gets an idea in her head, there’s no getting it out. Rafe compares that to Jada, pointing out how long she’s been staring at the case file. Jada says she’s just looking at the timeline to see if they missed anything. Rafe tells Jada that he will be in his office if she finds anything.

Gwen questions Alex thinking he’s not good enough for her when he’s rich and handsome. Alex clarifies that he just thinks they need to do some soul searching. Alex says he’s gotten to know Gwen pretty well and while others think she’s heartless, he knows she’s just heartbroken and that she only jumped in to bed with him to make Xander jealous. Gwen admits that maybe in the beginning, that was her motivation but now she couldn’t care less about Xander anymore. Alex feels that’s only because she’s afraid of dealing with her feelings and he’s doing the same thing. Alex acknowledges that the sex releases chemicals from their brain. Gwen jokes about Alex getting a medical degree from these sessions with Marlena. Alex says she just opened his eyes to things and he’s read some articles. Alex asks if they weren’t using sex as a distraction. Gwen says she’d rather not think about that. Alex says he’s trying to have an honest conversation with her which is the one thing they haven’t done since they started sleeping together. Gwen then reluctantly admits that she is heartbroken and that as much as she’s tried to get over Xander, it isn’t easy.

Brady questions Xander and Chloe moving in together. Xander says that’s right. Chloe insists they are just going to be roommates because she’s having financial issues. Brady argues that she could have come to him and brings up that Xander left her in the clutches of a Mexican drug lord. Xander states that he and Chloe have moved on from that while Brady says he hasn’t. Brady doesn’t understand why Chloe would even think about moving in with Xander. Chloe argues that they are friends. Brady says Xander is not her friend. Chloe states that Xander has been there for her. Brady asks if he hasn’t been. Chloe points out that they didn’t know each other were moving because they haven’t spoken in days. Brady didn’t think she wanted to hear from him. Chloe cries that she didn’t want to hear that he’s better off without her. Brady asks why he would say that and talks about how much he misses her. Xander says that’s enough because he’s upsetting her. Brady warns Xander to stay the hell out of this. Leo then arrives and questions what they have here, adding that he smells a story.

Alex questions Gwen admitting that she’s not over Xander and that he broke her heart. Gwen confirms it just like Stephanie broke Alex’s heart and she doesn’t think he is over her either. Alex asks why she’s bringing Stephanie in to this when they are history. Gwen points out that now they know Kayla is alive which means Alex didn’t deprive her the chance of saying goodbye to her mother. Alex insists this has nothing to do with that. Gwen asks if there’s not a small part of him that feels he and Stephanie could reignite that spark again. Alex claims absolutely not as that ship has sailed since Stephanie is with Chad now and he highly doubts she will ever look in his direction again. Alex repeats this has nothing to do with any other woman and is just about realizing that his life is a mess so he has to get back on track and move forward, not back. Alex thinks Gwen might feel the same way. Gwen wishes she could say she could.

Chloe questions what Leo is doing here. Leo says he’s also looking for an apartment for he and Gwen. Brady goes to check out the place while Leo questions if they are all moving in together. Xander clarifies that he and Chloe are looking for a place together. Leo asks about Brady showing up. Brady says it’s none of his business but he’s looking for a place for he and his daughter. Leo calls Brady’s daughter the demon seed from Hell. Brady calls him a son of a bitch as Xander steps in. Xander reminds Leo that he works for him, then breaks his pencil and tells him that his work is done.

Paulina goes to the police station and asks Jada about Abe, but Jada says she just missed him. Paulina guesses she’ll have to track down the health inspector herself at city hall. Jada mentions hearing about the bakery and calls it a shame. Paulina assures that it’s a temporary situation so she won’t have to worry about her sister’s employment. Jada says she was actually about to call Paulina because she was reviewing her statement about when her office was broken in to, so she hoped Paulina could answer a few more questions. Paulina asks if she has a new lead. Jada responds that she’s not sure yet.

Chanel goes to see Rafe in his office and says she hasn’t really had a chance to talk to him since the incident at the bakery outside of her and Talia going over their stories, but she wanted to tell Rafe that she’s really sorry that her baked goods put him in the hospital. Rafe appreciates it but says she has nothing to apologize for. Rafe talks about the biscuits being so good and that being why he had so many that he had a reaction to the drug. Chanel thanks him but just wishes she knew how it happened. Rafe assures they are working hard to figure that out and when they arrest someone, she’ll be the first to know. Chanel then notices a photo on Rafe’s desk.

Colin is excited about the bakery being shut down and tells Talia that he’s grateful for all she has done for him. Colin adds that he wouldn’t impose this on her if there was any way he could do it himself but the cops would be on him in a heartbeat. Talia says she knows but feels destroying Chanel’s business is revenge enough. Colin argues that she’s been there when he’s woken up from horrible nightmares all because of what Chanel took from him and Sloan, so he won’t rest until she feels the same kind of misery that she put them through. Talia questions if he’s talking about killing someone. Colin clarifies that he’s not a murderer, unlike Chanel. Colins declares that before Chanel killed his mother, she broke her heart by going after his father, so now it’s time for Chanel to feel what it’s like to have her heart broken. Talia argues that she already has since her ex cheated on her and then moved to a different continent. Colin calls it the perfect time for Talia to swoop in and sweep Chanel off her feet and then break her little heart all over again.

Jada goes over the timeline of events with Paulina. Paulina brings up Sloan threatening to come after her and then about an hour later, her office was vandalized. Jada agrees the timing is suspicious but points out that there were no signs of forced entry, so whoever broke in had a key. Paulina insists only she had a key. Jada asks if her keys were ever left unattended for someone else to gain access to. Paulina recalls her bag being left on a table at the café when Sloan confronted her and notes that it was when Chanel introduced her to Talia. Jada questions Talia being there.

Talia questions Colin wanting her to seduce Chanel. Colin asks what the problem is since Chanel is in to women and Talia is a woman. Talia argues that she’s not gay or even bisexual. Talia says she only wants Colin and thought he wanted her too, but it seems like he’s trying to pimp her out. Colin says not at all and it won’t be real for them but Chanel will fall head over heels for her. Colin questions that Talia will commit a crime for him but she won’t kiss a girl. Talia complains that it’s more than just kissing as he’s asking her to lead her on and then break her heart. Colin jokes that he doesn’t want her to ride off in to the sunset with her, since she is already spoken for. Talia doesn’t think she can do this. Colin insists on how important it is to him and says that when it’s finally over, he’ll be ok with no more mood swings or crazy depression because he will feel like he got justice for his mom and they will be so happy together. Colin tells Talia that he loves her so much. Talia says she loves him too so Colin says he knows she will pull through for him as they kiss on to the bed.

Chanel comments on a photo of Allie and her son Henry that she had sent Rafe, noting that Henry’s gotten so big that she hardly recognizes him and that Allie looks great. Chanel asks if Allie said how she’s liking New Zealand. Rafe says that she said she felt awkward at first but a little more comfortable now. Chanel asks what she’s been up to. Rafe says she’s just been working and meeting people. Chanel questions if that means she’s seeing someone then decides that Rafe doesn’t have to say anything and rushes out of the office.

Xander tells Leo that they are here to look for an apartment, not chronicle their love lives. Leo says no one is interested and he was just giving them a hard time. Leo decides that Gwen will definitely have to come check out the apartment. Xander says she’ll be wasting her time since he and Chloe were there first, so they are taking it which Chloe questions. Brady asks if Xander isn’t going to ask Chloe what she thinks. Xander points out that Chloe said she liked it, so he figured since he’s footing the bill, he would make a decision. Brady remarks that it sounds like Chloe is a kept woman now which upsets Chloe, who says she will happily pay her half of the rent when she gets a job because she loves the place. Chloe then announces that she and Xander are taking the apartment and they high five.

Leo goes home and tells Gwen that he saw Alex walking out, so he assumed it was safe to come up. Gwen tells him there’s nothing to see so he’s fine and that Alex just came over to dump her. Leo asks if he’s crazy. Gwen says she doesn’t want to talk about it and asks about the apartment because she could really use a pick me up. Leo says it was amazing but unfortunately, someone got to it before they did. Leo knows it’s a terrible time to bring this up but she’s going to find out anyway. Leo then reveals that Xander is shacking up with Chloe.

Chloe comes back to the apartment and finds Brady there. Chloe thought he left with Xander and Leo. Brady says he came back to talk to her alone. Chloe asks if they have anything left to talk about. Brady tells her that he loves her and in spite of everything that has conspired to keep them apart, he thinks she might still love him too. Brady calls it fate that they both ended up here. Brady thinks it would be a really big mistake for her to get involved with Xander, so he doesn’t want to see that happen.

Jada asks Paulina about Talia being there when Sloan confronted her. Paulina talks about liking Talia since day one and how she’s been great at the bakery and even helped her through her panic attacks. Paulina remarks that Chanel is lucky to have Talia in her corner and asks what else she wants to know.

Xander walks down the hall at his motel and sees Colin going back to his room. Xander stops and comments that he thought that was Talia’s room.

Talia joins Chanel at the Bakery. Chanel reminds her that she didn’t have to come in today. Talia says she was just seeing how she was doing since she sounded stressed on the phone. Chanel calls that really sweet of her but admits she’s not doing well and that the day just keeps getting worse. Talia hugs her and says she’s really sorry. Talia then says maybe she can make her feel better as she then kisses Chanel.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Hey, I’m really sorry about this. About what? Oh, you haven’t seen it? No. Is it about the price case? Well, indirectly, yes. Kissing cops out. Killer Sloan. Well, her too, but I was talking about lady whistleblower.

Hold it, hold it, hold it. Drop that fork. And let this wonderful spread get cold. $65 for breakfast. You send that back. I can’t. I already took a bite out of my brioche French toast. I ordered you some too. Here. Have a mimosa. It’ll calm you down. I don’t want a mimosa look. I’m, I’m sorry to sound like such a miser Leo, but.

Bloody hell what we’ve spent on this place in the last month. We might as well be living in a penthouse on Fifth Avenue. Well, I hate to break it to you, but you’re being ripped off. No kidding. And I know from having lived here with Zander, that management goes completely Tony Soprano on any guest that doesn’t pay promptly.

In fact, I’m expecting Phyllis to come up here and hunt me down and rip my fingernails off. Phyllis, she’s like four, 10 and 90 years old. And Mina, then a junkyard dog. No, we can’t keep living like this. Leo, I, I co-own a small paper. I’m not a, okay. Okay. I will. Downgrade to a single mimosa tomorrow. No, forget downgrading.

No more mimosas, no massages, no more spa, and no more room service. We need to find a new place to live asap, preferably somewhere where Phyllis will never, ever find me. I didn’t order anything else. I swear. Good Lord, that might be her. We need to hide it. Okay, let’s, let’s just relax. If it’s Phyllis, I, I won’t answer the door.

Doesn’t she have a key? No. I changed the locks on the sly. Who is it? Hey, it’s Alex.

Hi. Can we talk?

Wow. Well, this place does get a lot of light, doesn’t it? Yeah. And it doesn’t look over a parking lot like my room at the motel. That’s certainly a plus. It is though. I do just have to say what? Well, the last thing I expected was to be looking at apartments with you. Right. Sometimes the unexpected can be fun.

Right? And don’t you want that, you know, Phyllis off your back. Mm, definitely. That woman is a terrorist. Yeah. Well, in my opinion, this place is a seals, two bedrooms, light, airy, and the best part you get out of there. I can add that dump.

Oh, there she is, my beautiful daughter. Hey mama. Well, darling, you’ll be delighted to hear that I’ve made the decision to show the city hall appreciation by ordering Drum roll please. 200 Bear Claw. I’m sorry, mom. I. I can’t fill that order. Oh, well honey, honey, honey. There’s no rush on it. No. You know, maybe it’s too much work.

Well, um, how about those, uh, cinnamon twisted donuts? That, that Abe is so crazy about. What, what is it? Why you looking so sad? I, I can’t fill any order.

The department shut us down. Sweet bits is out of business.

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

Oh, baby mama. How can they do this without even warning you? Oh, they did, but we, we’ve been opening later, since it’s been slower and, well, they left a message, but I didn’t get it until just now. Oh, well this is so wrong and unfair and I’m, I’m going to give whoever made this terrible decision a piece of my mind.

No, mama, I don’t want you to do that. Well, we can’t do nothing. The bakery, I mean, this is your dream. You made it happen. And I’m not, I be, damn. I’m just gonna let somebody just trample on it. Oh yes. It was my dream and, and it was amazing while it lasted, but, Wait a minute, it’s over. The bakery is my shirt down for good, right?

This is just temporary until the investigation is resolved. Right? Until they prove Sloane Peterson drug, those biscuits. Then everybody will come flocking back to the best bakery in all of sale. The flake is crusted inside of Chicago. I, I appreciate your optimism, but I hope, uh, Uhuh. No buts. No buts. Now, now, I will not allow you to give up on sleep bits in your dream.

Now you hear me? I will not stand for it.

Jada, I understand why you’re angry with Leo Starkman. I am too. He’s a mean-spirited little creep, but this is Sloan. Sloan is the one who obviously leaked this story. She’s the one who saw us together, but Sloan also knows you were drugged, but of course it’s not mentioned anywhere in here. Yeah, right.

It’s a damn good thing. I disclosed everything to Abe before this story came out, and he knows the situation was beyond our controls. Obviously, he’s not gonna take any action against this, but my God. I cannot wait to throw the book at that bitch. You and me both. Oh, and you know what? Since this leak was obviously intended to go against the investigators, maybe I throw obstruction of justice onto her long list of charges.

Well, assuming she’s the one that committed these crimes, wait, you’re still not thinking that this could have been your sister?

The warm water nested all of two seconds and the towers were scratchy as hell. Guess you get what you pay for, right?

What are you reading, lady Whistleblowers column. Check it out today. Um, I’m actually not a fan and I’m surprised you are. I wouldn’t call myself a fan, but I do read it from time to time and she kind of does have a finger on the post. Hey, wait, what? Isn’t that your sister? Oh my God.

I assume talk is a euphemism for a whole lot of not talking, which is a euphemism for Leo. Make yourself disappear. Mm, you do catch on quickly, don’t you darling? I’m known for that, so no worries. I will take my champagne to go and I’ll start hunting for an apartment two bedrooms this time. Watch out for Phyllis.

Hmm. Phyllis and I get along just fine. It’s you. She can’t stand What? She’s a crush on me. She thinks of you as the competition. She does not. She does.

Who’s Phyllis? It’s not important. Oh, this is such nice place. Ah, yeah. Gwen, I actually. Didn’t want to talk. Hi. Okay, look, I know this may seem sudden, but I don’t think it’s a good idea that we see each other anymore.

There’s gotta be a catch. I mean, work, workout room, utilities included. Price is crazy low for what we’re getting, what we are getting. I haven’t agreed to anything yet. Come on, Chloe. Can’t wait around forever. Place like this is gonna go fast. Yeah, I know. I just don’t like being rushed into major life decisions.

I need to see more like what’s the water pressure like in the shower. That’s a good point. I’ll get check and I’m gonna check for mold. Good idea.

Brady, Chloe. What are you doing? What are you doing here?

I’m looking at this place for myself and Rachel. What are you doing here? While I’m looking for an apartment too, the Salem end keeps raising their rates since I stopped working. I think this is a two bedroom. It is. So if you’re cutting costs, why? Why would you need all this extra space for your, so I see we take it.

What the hell is this?

You are breaking up with me. Well, I wouldn’t put it like that. Well, how would you put it? One, I’m just suggesting that maybe we stop sleeping together. I see. And any particular reason or Actually, yeah. I, um, had a meeting with Dr. Evans this morning, a whole nother session with her. I’ve had a few now, and she’s made me understand that this whole thing going on between you and I is actually part of my.

Unhealthy pattern. Mm-hmm. And hey, look, G, you’re hot as hell. I’m so attracted to you. You’re smart, you’re funny, you’re beautiful. I’m in your accent. Your accent. I love your accent. I can literally feel it. Come on, come on, come on. Just stop the gushing. I’m not gushing, I’m being sincere here. And trust me, this is gonna be harder for me than you know.

You know, walking away from quitting booze or, or smoking or any other vice for that matter. Oh, I’m a vice now. That’s lovely. No, nope. That’s not what I meant. Look, I, I decided to lean into this whole no strings sex thing after I screwed things up with Stephanie. And then after speaking with Dr. Evans, she made me realize that it’s not the right way or the best way to handle things.

I’m actually just avoiding facing my feelings now. I’m using you to do that, and that’s not cool, you know? No, I don’t know. No. Do I mind being used? Oh, well maybe you should. Guas isn’t healthy. Hey, hey, this isn’t healthy for either of us. I want better for you. I think you should want better for yourself too.

Look at that is just so freaking unfair. I mean, Jada did tell me that the commissioner ate one of those tainted biscuits, but he only kissed her because he was high. Yeah. No mention of that. Yeah, and that’s what makes it unfair. I felt terrible. I mean, Jada, she works so hard at her job and now this and, and what if she found out her own sister was behind all of this?

You are not to blame for this. Okay. Yeah. And how can you say that I’m the one who infused those biscuits? Only because Chanel tore my family apart and she needs to pay for it. For being a home wrecker, a murderer. It’s called justice. You are just writing a wrong and you’re doing it out of love. All right.

And I, I love you, Foria.

You do know that, don’t you? Yeah, I do. And honestly, I’m thinking that this whole lady whistleblower thing, That’s done us a favor. You know where the cops distracted? Maybe it’s time to turn up the heat on Chanel

mama. I know you’re just trying to lift my spirits. Lift your spirits. Oh, no, no, no. I’m trying to make you see that your spirits have no business not being up there already. Because I’ll be damned if Sweet Bits is done. Now, does that health inspector know that your stepfather is the mayor of this time?

Mama, please, please do not drag Abe into my mess. Our mess. Okay, that’s too late now. You just sit there. You don’t go anywhere,

babe. What do you mean turn up the heat? It’s probably Chanel. Wondering where the hell I am. Hi, I am so sorry that I’m late. Oh no. Uh, don’t worry about it. We’ve been shut down by the health department, so the baker’s closed. Oh no. Yeah. I was calling to tell you not to come in. Um, are you sure There’s nothing I can do.

Thanks. But now until we get to the bottom of this, there is nothing anyone can do.

You know, it’s, it’s still eating at me that Talia had the means and the opportunity to tamper with those SCUs. Mm-hmm. But still no motive whatsoever. Yeah, but her story just kept coming out in pieces. Oh, hey sis. Sorry. I forgot that I stopped by the drugstore. Oh, I forgot that I took a long walk around the lake.

You know, if I didn’t know her, you know, between her lack of an alibi, the fact that she forgot to turn on the security cameras. Mm-hmm. And not to mention she’s one of the very few people with a key to the bakery. Yeah. But she didn’t have keys to Paulina’s office. And that vandalism was most certainly committed by the same perp unless they had an accomplice.

Oh mm honey. Like you wouldn’t believe and it’s just like moving down like to my shoulder. Oh my God, lemme help out. You know what, second thought. Better not. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe not.

Abe is in a meeting with the DA at the police station. I’m gonna have to go over there and track him down myself. Oh mama, I, hold on. Look. You know you’re gonna just have to stop with the mamas right here cause there’s no way you’re gonna stop with your mama from doing what is right for my baby girl. Do you think that I haven’t had any obstacles becoming a successful businesswoman or getting on the ballot for governor or Abe on the way to becoming mayor?

Now, this is just a roadblock. You’re gonna have to push yourself through Chanel darling, and you will, if I have to push you myself. Oh, mom, if you would’ve just let me finish what I was saying. You wouldn’t have had to give that speech because I’m coming with you. Oh, that’s my girl. Oh. Oh. Now you can come over and watch me take that health inspector head off at city Hall.

Okay. As entertaining as uh, sounds. There’s something else I wanna do

since we have to keep our distance. I thought this was the next best thing. Thanks. Yeah. Just overheard in the bullpen where Riley went to get his morning coffee at Sweet Bits. Mm-hmm. Health Department shut him down. I don’t know. Yeah, that’s sad for Chanel, but maybe this will force Talia to get that crazy idea out of her head to become the next cake boss.

Mean maybe she can use her medical training to actually, you know, save lives. But once she gets an idea in her head, she cannot be deterred. Unlike her sister. Huh? How long you been staring at that file? Uh, I’m just looking at the timeline. I’ll see if there’s something in here that what we might have missed.

Alright. Okay. Well if you find anything, I’ll be in my office. Mm-hmm.

You think you’re not good enough for me? Hey. The rich, handsome Alex, Kiki. I did not say that at all. I just, I need to do some soul searching. I think you do too. Yeah. I’m not really a fan of soul searching, so No. But, um, thank you. Anyway. Come on. Come on. I’ve gotta know you pretty damn well. Even though all these people think you’re this tough, heartless woman, I know that deep down you’re really just heartbroken.

And that’s because of what happened with my cousin Zander. You only jumped into bed with me because, um, he wanted to make him jealous. Am I right?

I admit that maybe in the beginning that was my motivation, but now

I couldn’t care less about Sandra anymore, and maybe not on a conscious level, but that is only because you are afraid of dealing with your feelings and I’m doing the same thing. Okay. And yes, the sex releases, these chemicals in the brain, these neurochemicals, one of which is a dopamine. It, it, it promotes this feeling of, uh, euphoria and, and, and satisfaction and reward.

Hang on. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Hang on. Um, did you get your medical degree in these very few sessions that you had with Dr? No. No, I did not. But she did open my eyes to quite a few things and, uh, Yeah, I’ve been reading some articles, some articles. Oh, I see. Am I wrong? Are we not using sex as a distraction? I

honestly, I haven’t. I haven’t thought about it, and I would really rather not think about it now. Why Quiet. Go ahead. Go on. Come on, come on. I’m just trying to have an honest conversation with you here. That’s the one thing we haven’t done since we started sleeping together.

Okay, fine.

Okay. Under the heading of honesty and sun searching,

I am heartbroken. Yes.

Because

as much as I have tried to get over Zander,

It isn’t easy, is it?

It’s

you two are moving in together. That’s right. Sanders stop. We’re just gonna be roommates. That’s all. You know, that I’m having financial issues could have come to me. All right? But really you, you’re gonna go to this guy, this guy Do I have to remind you, this is the guy that who lefts of a Mexican drug, Lord s Brady Raw, very aware of that.

But Chlo and I have moved on. Haven’t we left? Will, I haven’t moved on from it, which is why I don’t understand what you think about moving in with this guy, CLO. How many times do I have to tell you Zander and I are friends? No, I’m gonna tell you right now, he is not your friend. Yes, he is. Yes I am. He’s been there for me.

I haven’t been there for you. Well, I sure as hell didn’t know that you were moving and you didn’t know that I was moving either because we haven’t spoken in date. I, I know I, I did. I didn’t think you wanted to hear from me. I didn’t wanna hear that. You’re better off without me or something else that’s gonna make me feel worse than I already do.

I couldn’t. Why would I say I’m better off without you? It’s the furthest thing from the truth. Chloe, wake up thinking about you. I go to sleep thinking about you. I miss you so much. It’s crazy, huh? That’s enough. Brady. Can’t you see? You’re upset, Sam. You need to stay the hell out of this man. All right, well, well, what do we have here?

A Neanderthal athon, lady whistleblower smells a story.

So you admit that you are not over zander. He broke your heart just like Stephanie broke yours. And I don’t think that you are over. Hera. What? Why? Why are you bringing her into this? Stephanie and I are history, except now that we know that my Aunt Kayla is indeed alive. It means that you did not deprive her the chance to say goodbye to her mother.

No. Well, apparently not, but trust me when I tell you this has nothing to do with that. Come on. Alex. Do you honestly mean to tell me that there isn’t even a small part of you that feels that the two of you can’t just reignite that spark again?

Absolutely not. That ship has sailed. Stephanie’s with Chad now, and I highly doubt that she will ever. Look in my direction again.

One, this has nothing to do with any other woman. This has everything to do with realizing that my life is a mess and I just need to get back on track. I gotta move forward. Not back.

And I think you might feel the same way.

I wish I could say I could.

Leo Stark. What the hell are you doing here? Uh, same thing as you, I assume looking for an apartment. For me and Gwen, actually, I’m gonna check out the rest of the place. Whoa. Whoa. Wait. So the three of you are planning on moving in together. How progressive of you? It’s not the three of us together yet.

Idiot. Chloe and I are looking for a place to share and the two of us. Ah. Right. So Brady, you just decided to show up and do some performative chest beating? No, Leo, it’s on your business, but I’m looking for a place for myself and my daughter. And her name, please, if you could just spell it for me. Well, why don’t I just introduce your ass to the door?

Fine. We’ll just refer to her as the Demonn Seed from hell. Son, you are familiar. Remember? Hey, your work here is done. Ah,

detective Hunter. Um, I’m looking for my husband. His assistant said he was here. Oh, I’m sorry Ms. Price, you just missed him. Damn. Uh, I guess I’m gonna have to go back to City Hall Hunt. I’m that health inspector myself. I heard about what happened at the bakery. Such a shame. It’s just a temporary situation.

I assure you. You do not have to worry about your sister’s employment. Oh, I’m not. Actually, if you could spare a few minutes, Ms. Price, I was actually just about to call you. I’ve been reviewing your statement regarding when your office was broken into, and I was hoping you could just answer a few more questions.

Why do you have a new lead? I’m not sure yet.

Commissioner Chanel. Come on in. I, uh, I haven’t really had a chance to talk to you since, uh, the incident at the bakery. And, um, well, actually I did when Talia and I came back over here to go over our stories. My, I, I wanted to tell you that I, I’m really sorry that my bake goods put you in the hospital. I appreciate it.

But you have nothing to apologize for. I mean, if you do, it’s simply that those biscuits are so damn good. I mean, I hate so many of them. That’s why I had such a severe reaction to the drug, Sam. Right. Uh, and that’s, that’s really kind of you to say. It’s just, I, I just wish I knew how it happened. Well, we are working hard on trying to find that out.

Hey, and when we arrest someone, you’ll be the first to know, thanks.

Oh my God,

they shut the freaking bakery down. This just gets better and better. Babe, I cannot tell you how much I appreciate everything you’ve done for me, and as I’ve said before, I wouldn’t impose this on you. If there was any way that I could do this myself, it’s just the cops would be onto me in a heartbeat. I know.

I know we’ve been a horn a thousand times, but Colin isn’t destroying Chanel’s business revenge enough. How can it be enough? Talia, you’ve been there with me when I’ve woken up from horrible nightmares. You’ve seen me cry and scream and get crazy depressed, or cuz of what that little slut took from me and my sister, which is why I’m not gonna rest until I make her feel the same kind of misery that she put me and my sister fruit.

You. You’re not talking about killing someone. No. No. I’m not a murderer. Unlike Chanel. I know, but this whole eye for an eye thing, it kind of seems like, you know, listen to me. All right. And listen. Good. Before that bitch killed my mother. She broke her heart when she went for my father. So now it’s time to see how she likes having her heart broken.

She’s already had her heart broken, her ex cheated on her, and then moved to a different continent, which is why it’s the perfect time for you to swoop in and sweep her off her feet, and then break her little heart all over again.

Please have a seat.

And now Ms. Price, I’ve been reviewing the timeline of events. And it seems that the day your office had broken into was the same day that Sloan Peterson found out that her civil case had business missed. That’s right. She threatened to come after me extra judicially, and about an hour later, my office was vandalized.

Coincidence, I think not well. I agree. The timing is suspicious, but what I’m struggling with is that there was no signs of forced entry. Whoever broke into your office that day had a key and I was the only one who had one. Is there a chance that there might have been a duplicate, an employee, perhaps?

Mm-hmm. Nope. I’m a one woman show after my former employee, Leo Stark turned out to be a dumpster fire, and that’s a kind way of putting it. I’m, I’ve been using contractors and outsourcing work well in that case. Um, have your keys ever been left unattended? Um, perhaps someone else have gained access to your key.

You mean Sloan Peterson? Anyone? Well, I suppose it could have been Sloan Peterson. Uh, the day she confronted me, my bag was laying on the table at the cafe. Oh. It was when, uh, Chanel introduced me to your lovely sister. Wait, Talia was there.

You want me to,

what’s the problem? She’s into women. You’re a woman. Yeah, but I’m not gay. I’m not eating. Bye. Hey, all I really want is just you. At least that’s what I thought you wanted too, but it seems like you’re trying to pit me out. No, no, not at all. I only want you to at least won’t be real. At least not for us.

Chanel. On the other hand, she’s gonna fall head over heels for you cuz how could anyone not

more, you’ll commit a crime for me, but you won’t kiss a girl. It is more than she’s kissing. You’re asking me to lead her on and then. Break her heart. I don’t want you to ride off into the sunset with her. Do I? Since you are already spoken for

what now?

I don’t know, Colin. I I don’t think I can do this. You know how important this is to me, don’t you? And babe, when this is finally over, I’ll be okay. No more mood swings, no more crazy depression, cuz I’ll feel like I’ve got justice for my mom and we will be so happy together.

I love you. So, so much. You love me too, don’t you? Of course. I love you. Great. And I know you’ll pour through for me.

Henry, he got so tall, I could barely recognize him. Allie sent you this? Yeah. And Allie, she, she looks great. Happy. Wow. The ocean behind them. It’s so beautiful. Did she say how she’s liking New Zealand? She said it was a little awkward at first, but she’s feeling more comfortable now. Did she say what she’s up to?

Yeah. You know, I’m just dumb working, meeting people. Meeting people as in seeing someone.

Um, you don’t have to say anything else. I’m gonna go now. Chanel. Thanks. No, Chanel. Chanel,

oops. You are here to humper an apartment, not chronicle Our love lives are light thereof. Uh, relax. No one is interested in your Three’s company remake. I was just giving you a hard time. My, what a lovely apartment it is. Could use a little work, but I’m as much a magician with interior design as I am with a pen.

Yeah. Gwen’s definitely gonna wanna see this. Hey, Gwen’s gonna be wasting her time. Chloe and I were here first. We’re taking it. We are. You’re not even gonna ask her what she thinks. Well, you already said you liked it. And since I’m footing the bill, I thought I’d make it the decision, you know? Hmm. Sounds like you’re a kept woman now, kept woman.

Why would you tell people that you’re footing the bill? I’m sorry. I just, he just blurt out things without thinking them through. And no, Brady, I am not a kept woman. I will pay my own way when I’m able to. Which I will happily do because I love this place. It is perfect. So when I get a job, I’m gonna pay half the rent for this terrific apartment.

So yes, Xander, we are taking it.

You decent? I saw Alex walking out. I assume that meant it was safe to come up. Nothing to see here or not to see you? Fine. Oh, quickie today, huh? Actually, not even that. Alex came over here to dump me. What is he? Crazy. Hey, vent jerk. Just dumped the classiest, sexiest, smartest, funniest woman. Stop, stop, stop.

Mad. Maddie, please. It was so sweet and I know you just tried to make me feel better, but I just really, really don’t wanna talk about it. Tell me about the flat. Um, is he gonna work for us, please? I’ve could really use a pick meal. Well, it was amazing actually, but unfortunately somebody got to it before we did.

Speaking of which Bunnie, I know this is a terrible time to bring this up given what just happened with Alex, but it’s something you need to know and you’re gonna find out anyway. So, oh, Lordy, what is it now?

Xander is shacking up with Chloe Lane

Brady. Hey. I thought you left with Xander and Leo. Obviously I came back. I, uh, kind of wanted to talk to you alone.

Do we really have anything left to talk about? Yeah, I think we do. See, I love you. I love you and in spite of everything that’s conspired to keep us apart, Chloe, I think you might still love me too.

And I think it’s very strange that we ended up here in this place today. Call it fate, but I think it would be a really big mistake for you to get involved with Sandra and I, I, I just don’t wanna see it happen.

My sister was with you and Chanel when Sloane confronted you. Hmm. Oh, and I liked her from the moment I met her and what a God send she is at the bakery. She even helped me through my panic attacks when I thought I was having a cardiac event. Oh, she knows. Very lucky to have someone like that. Knock on her.

Yeah. So what else you wanna know?

Hi. Hey. I thought that was bakery girls room.

Hey, I, I thought I told you you didn’t have to come in today just seeing how you were doing. I know you said you were fine, but you seemed to really stress over the phone. That’s that’s really sweet of you. And, um, but honestly, I, I’m just, I’m not doing well at all and it, it’s not even just the health department this day just keeps getting worse.

I’m so sorry.

Maybe I can make you feel better.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Good. You are here. Can I rush over as soon as I got your message, you said it was a matter of life and death. It.

Oh my God, Roman, he didn’t do it. Bo didn’t shoot her. This could mean that that Kate is alive. But where in the hell is she worse than my wife? What’s, where did she go? I wish I had an answer for your Uncle Roman, but the ISA scoured that entire compound and the surrounding areas. So while I can’t tell you where Kate is, I can tell you with absolute certainty, she is not on that island.

I wonder what will be the first thing I do when I get home. I’ll take a long hot bath.

How can I be back here again? It has to be some kind of cosmic joke. I mean, seriously, like a comic kick in the ass. I mean, I’m not such a bad person, am I? Ugh, nevermind. Do an answer that I, I know I haven’t always been a saint, but really this and this filthy, disgusting ship. Decapitating Nemo, I don’t deserve this.

Why is this happening to me? Why is this always happening to me?

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

what’s going on? Are you nervous about seeing your uncle be. No, it’s not that. I was actually just thinking about Harris Michaels and how I ripped into him at the lab yesterday. Yeah, it’s understandable. He knew your parents’ lives were in danger and he didn’t say anything. I know, but when we ran into him at the hotel, he was so contrite and apologetic.

Not that I’m excusing what he did, but do you think I was too hard on him? No. I thought you were beautifully polite. Thanks to you. You reminded me that he saved us from Thomas Banks, but, but what? He still sent hope to that villain, knowing how dangerous Bud was. I mean, he’s damn lucky that more people didn’t get hurt.

Yeah. And I think he knows that. And he’s obviously beating himself up pretty hard over everything that happened. Sean, I ran into your mother a little while ago. Yeah. We made her come over here to take a shower, which is what I’m here to do too. Any, uh, any change in your father’s condition?

Still in a coma. The, uh, the doctor said that, They don’t know when or or if he’s ever gonna come outta it.

I’m sorry. No. You know what? Don’t be. Look what happened to my father. It’s, it’s my fault. No, it’s not. It’s mine. Okay. Wait a minute. So this is the life and death situation that you had me come over here. That, that, that Stephan hired Gabby at Damira. Ugh. Have you ever tried working with Gabby Hernandez?

Not only is she insulin and classless and altogether infuriating, she’s trying to steal my company. Alright. Okay, so what did s Stephan hired Gabby to do? Oh, she’s been given this frustratingly vague title of consultant and told to eliminate inefficiencies. In other words, to eliminate me. How could she do that?

Well, first thing on her ridiculous agenda is to evaluate my performance. Obviously, their plan is to convince the board that I need to go. Have you heard anything so happily absurd? Gabby Hernandez is going to appraise me as if that as if the useless interloper could possibly comprehend the myriad of ways that my near presence at Dira improves its worth.

This is madness Bell utter utter madness. Okay, so this is about Stephan’s mental state, right? You have some concerns about some lingering issues with his brainwashing. That would be endangering dira. That’s good. That’s very, very good. We could use that if we need to. But for starters, I want you to go through the, uh, company bylaws and, um, See if there’s any loopholes, anything I can use to eliminate Gabby, and could you possibly get started on that today?

I cannot believe that this is what you had me rush over here for.

I was on my way to the courthouse when you called, and I had to explain to my client and a very unfriendly judge that I had to reschedule today’s proceedings for a personal emergency. And, and you lied to me. You said this was life and death. How does Stephan giving Gabby a job come anywhere near that?

It’s about far more than just Job Bell. It’s about protecting what my father built. Safeguarding my children’s inheritance, their legacy, the stakes could not be higher. Right. My family’s company is hanging by a threat. Oh, is your family’s company in the I C U? I bet you. Pardon? My husband is dealing with a real life and death situation where an actual human being could die.

What are you talking about? What happened to Sean? No. Please like you care. Belle, please tell me, tell me what happened. Bell, please tell me Sean accidentally shot his father and put him in a coma.

I know. Did you blame yourself for what happened to your father? But I’m the one who set this whole thing all. We don’t need to go over this again. I just want you to, I want you to see that what went down in Victor’s place. Was a direct result of my actions. I put you and your mom on that cliff and I’m responsible for what happened because when I saw Bo in the villa, I could tell that something was off.

And the way he was talking about your mother and urging me not to tell her yeah, that he was because he was brain, he was armed, and I sent hope by herself. Okay. You’ve already explained yourself, alright. Yeah. I just wanna say that I’m sorry and I was selfish and I was wrong, and if I would’ve told your mother sooner or going to the villa with her.

Outcome would’ve been different.

Everything would’ve would’ve been different.

Well, I am gonna go tell hope. She’s going to be so relieved. Roman, I’m so happy for you, man. Oh man. Sure, no worries. Not only is my wife alive, but my brother doesn’t have to live with the guilt that he took her from it. He’d never forgive himself if he knew he took her life. Yeah. You know, as thrill as I am that Kate is alive, we still have no idea where she went, but I will search this damn planet for her.

I’m with you, man. Sam here. All right, good. Let’s put our heads together then. Make a plan to find my wife. Let’s do it. Did my life beat anymore crazy?

One moment being held at gunpoint by a reincarnated ovary. The next moment I’m in the middle of Mediterranean. Chopping up. An endless pile of fish. I really hope you’re enjoying this because I’m not.

Maybe I gotta take a, some more Buddhist. Approach, recognizing that suffering is everywhere, and if I am accept it and go, Mr. Wayer, be free of it. Kate, so this is your life. Accept it. Let it go. Oh, screw it. Hello. How is anyone out there? Is anyone out there? Could you please help me get out here please? I need to get outta this boat.

Please help me please.

Oh my.

Yes, guys, we’ll be home very soon, okay? Just be good for Doug and Julie, okay? Yes, I know that. I know you are always good. I love you both very much.

Stephanie does too. Okay? We’ll be back before you know it. Okay. Bye bye. Bye bye. Bye bye. Bye bye. Bye bye. Kick back.

I mean, I just call an hour ago. I was friends. I keep calling. I obviously miss you. Chad, if you wanna go back to Salem. No, we, they’re well cared for by Doug and Julie. They’re probably being spoiled actually, and I told them we’d be home soon. I want to be here with you. Are you sure? 100%. Thank you so much for all of your support through all of this.

You have no idea how much he means to me.

Let’s go see your uncle. Yeah. Hey. No, I, I’m just coming out to call you. Is everything okay mom? It’s better than okay. It’s, it’s really incredible news. Fos Wait. Well, no, but he, he did squeeze hope’s hand a little while ago. That’s amazing. Yeah. Yeah. It’s encouraging for sure. But this news is not really about Bo.

It’s about Kate. Kate, yeah. Yeah. I didn’t kill her. She’s alive. Chad Kate’s.

Okay, first question. How did Kate get off that island? Well, she couldn’t have escaped by a plane. The only aircraft there was the jet that you and John chartered. Anyone else would’ve had to leave by boat. Well, we know that Ralf escaped on a boat. They found it in the port of Athens and the boat took a similar boat when he left with Kayla.

Kate, were there any other boats on that island? Not that we saw, but there was a space in the lap Marina for a third boat. That’s gotta be how Kate left. Agreed Bus. You know, Bo released her weeks ago. Where in the hell she been all this time? And why hasn’t she contacted someone?

I need your help, tok. Oh no. Please, please don’t take this wrong because I know how much you’ve helped me already. You, you saved my life. And I am, I am so grateful for that. I, I really am. I mean, when I was in that little boat, I had no idea of where I was going. And you, you rescued me and you, you brought me on the ship.

So thank you.

Okay. Um, work. Yeah, I, I, I get back to that. But first I need to make a call.

a call, a phone. Call, phone phoned Telephono. Ah. Telephone. O.

So how much you pay me for it?

Sean? You gotta let yourself off the hook. Stop. I did this. I told you to get your mother as fast as she, I said. Stop. You saw your father pointing a gun at your mother and thought she was in serious danger. How could you not? You were just trying to protect her. Trying to protect her. Yeah. Yeah. I was doing what everybody else said they would’ve done.

All right. That’s what I keep hearing over and over again and I’m sick and tired of it. Look, the look, the bottom line is my dad may die because of me. Because of me and me alone.

Look, I know you’re just trying to make me feel better and or maybe you’re just trying to make yourself feel a little less guilty by being a martyr. But you can look at this any which way that you want. You can map it out. However, you can just sit there and you can gimme all the reasons why this is on you.

And you know what, yes, some of it is alright. At the end of the day, the fact is you didn’t pull the trigger. You didn’t shoot your own father

Sean shot his own father and put him in a coma two days ago in Greece. Um, not to beuse, but why, why would your husband shoot his back from the dead dad? Because he thought his dad was about to shoot his mother. Which turns out he wasn’t. That’s just what Sean thought he saw. And, you know, it was just a, an accident.

It was a, a terrible, tragic mistake. So, what’s the prognosis? Nobody really knows. We just wait and pray now. So do you, do you see where I’m coming from ej, that that is a life and death situation? What’s happening with Gabby is not, Bo might not survive. And Sean is just devastated.

Yeah. Be Sounds like you happy, really screwed up.

Oh bell. Why the hell did you do that? Why did I do it? Because you damn well deserve it. Telling me my husband screwed up by shooting his father, didn’t he? No, he didn’t. It was an accident. Like I said, listen. I know you don’t like Sean, but to say something so callous and so heartless, that is just low even for you.

Well, I’m, I’m, I’m sorry. I, I should have fought before I spoke. Well, you should have thought before you called me over here. I don’t know. Maybe you should just think some more in general, EJ about what an insensitive jerk you are. I am outta here fell. Wait. Please, please, please. Bell, please. I know Sean and I don’t get along, and in spite of my insensitive comments, I do feel for him for your whole family.

And I’m sorry that you’re going through what you’re going through.

Thank you. And if you’ll allow me, I’d like to make up for what I said, and I think I know how I can do that. You’re right. I can’t know how you feel and I’m not gonna pretend to. And yes, I didn’t pull the trigger, but I still feel like I’m responsible for what happened to your father, and I should be the one paying for it.

Oh, come on, please. Nothing’s gonna happen to you. I’m keeping quiet about my dad, sending my mom to the villa, and there’s nothing illegal about that. Yeah, true. But no, but nothing. Okay. If you want to be punished, the only person that’s gonna be doing that to you is yourself. But nobody’s coming to arrest you.

Maybe not, but I’m still paying for what I did. Oh, really? Michael’s white. How? How is it that you were pain? What? Did you give yourself an imaginary prison sentence? No,

but I did lose hope. So the surgeon found a microchip in Bo’s brain. Yeah. It seems that that is how Meghan Hathaway was controlling him, and the ISA was able to read what was on the chip. Yeah. With an app. Andrew just plugged it into his laptop and it just started analyzing away. It contained a video file, a recording of Bo’s point of view so you could see everything he did and hear what he was saying.

Yeah, exactly. And we can very clearly see Bo fire his gun up into the air and he, he yelled for Kate to run and she did. I’m okay. Uh, sorry, I’m confused. I’m confused because I thought that you said Bo told you himself that she was dead. That he, that he killed her. He did. So he lied. Why would he do that?

Well, I have no idea really. But I think maybe he did it to, to scare me and to keep me in line. I mean, he really went out of his way for me to try to believe that he was dangerous, even capable of murder. Right. He wanted me to believe that, but no matter what he said, I, I knew it wasn’t true. Mom, I’m so relieved you were right.

I, I,

you know, the first thing that Kate would’ve wanted to do once she got off that island was. Call her family, let us know she was alive. So why didn’t she? Well, look, if Kate did take that third vote, she most likely had no idea where she was and no way to navigate it. Might have taken her a while to get to the mainland for weeks.

Come on that. I know that is not that far from the coast, is it? Yeah, but there are over 30 islands in that chain. If Kate didn’t make it to the mainland, she most likely hit one of those. Exactly. So why didn’t she walk up to the first person she saw? And asked to use their phone.

What? What are you thinking? Just that Kate wasn’t an experienced sailor and the seas around here can be fairly treacherous if you are suggesting she didn’t make it dumb. Kate’s the strongest woman I know she has survived cancer. A plane crash. Being shot buried while she was still breathing. Do you think that she cheated death twice on that island only to lose her life when she escaped?

Not a chance. Kate is a fighter. I guarantee you she is alive. There’s not a doubt in my mind. So you speak English Ah-huh. And so, uh, you want me to pay to use your phone? I have to pay my bills. I will, I can’t pay your bills because I don’t have anything to my name except the very pun and close on my back.

Okay. You got a boat? No. No. I don’t have a boat. That’s a boat that I found when I, when I escaped the island that I was being held prisoner on. It’s true. When you found me in the water, I had just escaped. You know, everyone that I love right now, they think I’m dead. So all I wanna do is go to call my husband so I can tell ’em that I’m alive.

You know, I wanna go home. I can pay you all right? Believe me, I can pay you. I just can’t do it now. I’ll do it when I’m get home. I’m good for it. Just don’t have anything to give you right now.

I can’t, I can’t believe this kid’s locked alive. I’m so happy for you, Chad. It really is incredible news for all of us. Okay, so, uh, then where, where is she? Can we, can we see you? Oh, can I talk to her? Well, I, I, I think we need to go inside and see if we can get some answers. Okay, do it. I’m sorry, uncle Ruman, you’re absolutely right.

There’s no reason to give up hope. Well, Andrew, it’s okay. I know in your line of work, you gotta be, gotta be prepared for any outcome. True. But the only acceptable outcome in this case is to find Kate and to do that. I think I need to go get some reinforcements. Will you excuse me? Yeah. You’re saying we do our ours fool.

Catch up in a bit. Sounds like a plan.

What you said is true, brother Kate. This as tough as they come. My guess she washed the shore on another argument. She’s probably barking orders at the locals as we speak. Yeah. And teaching the bartenders how to make a martinis just the way she likes it. I just hope I wasn’t too hard on Andrew just now.

No, no. He guess it. You were just laying out the facts to make sure everybody’s clear on the mission. To bring your wife back safe and sound.

So how are you planning to make it up to me? Oh, I don’t suppose anything will make up for my borsch behavior, but perhaps I can begin to atone for by offering you something that I think you’ll find useful. I’m listening. Take the Demir jet. Go be with your husband. Take the jet to Greece. Hmm. I am sure Sean is in a lot of pain, obviously, and I know you want to be with him.

So fly out today and come back whenever you’re ready. I’ll pay for all the expenses. Of course, I, I mean, it’s, that’s very generous of you, ej, but I can’t, I can’t take you up on it cuz I’m in the middle of a trial. Ask for a continuance. Given the circumstances, I’m sure everyone involved will understand.

Uh, no. Still, you know, I wouldn’t be fair to my client to just take off, and Sean and I talked about it. He understands. All right. But if you do change your mind, just let me know. I will.

So about Gabby Hernandez? Never mind. Never mind. I’ll handle it.

Yeah. Like I said, I saw your mama earlier and she made it, um, she made it very clear that it’s over between us. Yeah. So what the hell did you expect? You kept the truth from her about the love of her life? Of course, she’s gonna dump your ass. Are you expecting me to feel sorry for you? No, just the way I hurt your mother and hurt all of you.

I’m just gonna have to live with that for the rest of my life. Yeah. Well, I’ll, I have to go shower and get back to the hospital. Of course. Look, I’ll, I’ll be, I’ll be praying for your family shot and I really do hope your dad is gonna be okay.

You know, see, I am having a hell of a time having my head around this whole thing, especially Bo being alive. Oh, I hear you, man. And seeing him standing there in front of me after all these years, Larry, to be confusing. I mean, the way he was acting. You know, didn’t take me too long to figure out the guy I was dealing with wasn’t the real him and that the real Bo Brady, my friend, my best friend of 40 years was still in there somewhere.

You know, Steve, when I heard we had him back, I was so damn happy. But knowing that he might have hurt Katie. Well, you know, I mean, I was having a hard time. I was. Having a hard time squaring the joy. I felt that my brother was alive with the likelihood that he killed my wife and oh yeah. I mean, hell, I love Bo and I would’ve done anything I could to help him get better, but once he did, I doubt there’s any way I could have ever forgiven him.

Well, thankfully you don’t have to worry about that anymore. Yeah. That is a big weight off my shoulders. You think you’re feeling relieved now? You just wait till we get your Katie back. Alright. We just gotta find her. This is my wedding ring. I can’t give you my wedding ring. You know, you just get another one when you return home.

I, I cannot get another one. Okay. It’s one of a kind. It’s, it’s my prize possession. My husband put it on my finger when I was on my deathbed. Okay. I got better. It’s a long story and very interesting, I’m sure, but if you want to use this phone, I need that ring. Okay, fine. Let’s take it. Just so you know, this is my last earthly possession, the one thing in this world that I care about.

I thought you wanted to telephone your husband. I do want to telephone my husband. Okay. Gimme the phone.

Only one. Call not more. Only one. Call

up.

Hey honey, I was hoping I’d catch you. Hey Bell, are you at the hospital? Uh, no, no, I’m at the hotel. Real quick, just to, uh, take a quick shower. So what’s the latest? Uh, I just spoke to my mom and, um, my dad squeezed her hand. Oh my God, that’s amazing. I mean, that, that’s a good sign, right? Yeah. Yeah. They, they told her not to, not to get her hopes up, you know, nothing’s changed except for that.

So, uh, they don’t expect that he’s gonna wake up anytime soon. Well, he could though, right? Sean? You cannot give up hope. No, uh, no, you’re right, you’re right. I’m, uh, I’m not, it’s just, um, You know, it’s just, it’s just hard.

Please pick up. Please pick up. Oh, someone answered that is recording in Spanish. What? Here? Here. Tell me what they’re saying.

I heard that myself. What are they saying? The number cannot be complete as you put it. No, no, no, no. That’s not possible. No, I called Roman, I put his number in, so that’s wrong. So just gimme the phone and I’ll try it again. You say only one phone call, remember? But that phone call did not go through, and that was not my fault.

Had to have been bad reception. So let’s just go up on the deck and I’ll call again. Sorry.

Oh no, please don’t do that. Please don’t do this. Please don’t do this. No, no.

Mom just told us about Kate. Yeah. Great news, huh? God the best. Okay, so what’s the plan? How do we find her? We’re working on it. Okay. Well, whatever you need, I want to help. All right. We appreciate that Steve and I are, we got some leads and, uh, Andrew’s on it too. Is he still around here? No. No. He said he had to go get some reinforcements.

Oh. What does that mean? I’m not sure.

Oh, I’m glad I caught you. Yeah, I was headed out when I got your text headed out as in was going someplace else to figure out my next move. Oh, maybe I can help you with that. Figuring out your next move.

I need your help. Turns out Kay Roberts is alive and we need to find her. Okay. What? But why would you ask me for help? Well, for starters, you are a highly decorated Navy seal. Yeah, he’s done irreparable damage to your family. So again, why would you want my help? How would you like a shot of redemption?

Update written by Joseph

Belle goes to see EJ at the DiMera Mansion and says she rushed over after she got his message that it was a matter of life and death.

Harris checks out at the hotel in Greece and goes to leave when he runs in to Shawn.

Steve, Kayla, Andrew, and Roman watch the video from the microchip in Bo’s brain that reveals that Bo did not shoot Kate and allowed her to go. Kayla exclaims that Bo did not shoot Kate. Roman declares that this could mean that Kate is alive but wonders where the hell she is and where she went. Andrew wishes he had an answer but says the ISA scoured the entire island and surrounding areas so they have no idea where she is, but he is absolutely certain that Kate is not on that island.

Kate is somewhere on a boat, cutting up fish. Kate stops to think back to being in this same spot cutting fish over 25 years ago and questions how she has ended up back here, remarking that it must be a joke or a kick in the ass. Kate complains that she’s not such a bad person. Kate admits she hasn’t always been a saint but argues that she doesn’t deserve this. Kate asks why this is always happening to her.

Outside the hospital in Greece, Chad asks Stephanie if she’s nervous about seeing her uncle Bo. Stephanie responds that she was actually just thinking about Harris Michaels and how she ripped in to him at the lab yesterday. Chad calls it understandable since Harris didn’t say anything about her parents’ lives being in danger. Stephanie acknowledges that Harris was so apologetic at the hotel and asks if she was too hard on him. Chad doesn’t think so. Stephanie thanks Chad for reminding her that Harris saved them from Thomas Banks. Chad argues that Harris is lucky that more people didn’t get hurt. Stephanie thinks he knows that and is beating himself up over everything that happened.

Harris tells Shawn that he ran in to Hope and asks if there’s any change in Bo’s condition. Shawn informs him that he’s still in a coma and the doctors don’t know when or if he’s ever going to come out of it. Harris tells him that he’s sorry. Shawn tells him not to be. Shawn declares that what happened to his father is his fault but Harris disagrees and blames himself.

Belle questions EJ saying it was a life or death situation that Stefan hired Gabi at DiMera. EJ complains about having to work with Gabi and argues that she’s trying to steal his company. Belle asks what Stefan hired Gabi to do. EJ says she’s been hired as a vague consultant and told to eliminate inefficiency. EJ adds that her first task is to evaluate his performance and argues that she’s obviously trying to get the board to eliminate him. EJ continues to complain about Gabi and argues that this is utter madness. Belle asks if he has concerns about Stefan’s mental state which would endanger DiMera. EJ calls that good and says they could use that if they need to. EJ wants to start by going through the company by laws to see if there are any loopholes he can use to get rid of Gabi. EJ asks Belle to get started on that today. Belle can’t believe this is what EJ had her rush over for. Belle tells him that she was on her way to the courthouse when he called and she had to explain to a client and a very unhappy judge that she had to reschedule because of a personal emergency. Belle complains that EJ lied to her and questions how Stefan hiring Gabi comes anywhere near a life or death situation. EJ tells her that it’s about far more like protecting what his father built, guarding his children’s inheritance and legacy. EJ argues that the stakes couldn’t be higher as his family’s company is hanging by a thread. Belle asks if his family’s company is in the ICU which EJ questions. Belle informs EJ that her husband is dealing with a real life or death situation when an actual human being could die. EJ questions what she’s talking about and asks what happened to Shawn. Belle doesn’t think he cares but EJ insists that she tell him what happened. Belle then reveals that Shawn accidentally shot his father and put him in a coma.

Harris knows Shawn blames himself for what happened to Bo, but says he’s the one that put this all in motion. Shawn says they’ve been over this. Harris states that he is the reason that Hope and Shawn were on that cliff, so he’s responsible for what happened. Harris admits he could tell something was off with Bo when he saw him and that he was armed, but he sent Hope by herself. Shawn argues that he already explained himself. Harris says he just wanted to apologize as he was selfish and wrong. Harris adds that if he would’ve told Hope sooner or gone with her, the outcome would have been different.

Kayla decides she will go tell Hope about Kate and says she will be so relieved. Steve hugs Roman and says he’s so happy for him. Roman can’t believe his wife is alive and his brother doesn’t have to live with the guilt of taking her from them. Steve knows Bo would never forgive himself if he took a life. Roman says he’s grateful that Kate is alive but they still have no idea where she went. Roman declares that he will search the planet for her. Steve and Andrew say they are with him so Roman decides they will put their heads together and make a plan to find his wife.

Kate asks if her life could be any more crazy as one moment she’s being held at gunpoint by a reincarnated Bo Brady and then she’s in the middle of the Mediterranean, chopping up an endless pile of fish. Kate remarks that she’s not enjoying this. Kate talks about how suffering is everywhere so maybe accepting it is the way to be free of it. Kate declares that this is her life and to accept it. Kate then decides against that and begins screaming for help, asking if there’s anyone out there to help her get off this boat. Kate then hears footsteps and wonders if someone is there.

Chad finishes a call with his kids, assuring they will be home very soon. Chad says he and Stephanie love them as he hangs up. Stephanie says the kids obviously miss him if he wants to go back to Salem. Chad assures that they are well taken care of by Doug and Julie while he wants to be here with her. Stephanie thanks him for all of his support through all this and says he has no idea how much it means to her. Chad kisses her and suggests they go see Bo. Kayla then comes out from the hospital and says she was just going to call. Stephanie asks if everything is okay. Kayla says it’s better than okay as she has really incredible news. Stephanie asks if Bo is awake. Kayla says no but he did squeeze Hope’s hand a little while ago which Chad calls amazing. Kayla says it’s encouraging but the news is not about Bo, it’s about Kate which Chad questions. Kayla announces that Bo did not kill Kate, so she is alive which shocks Chad.

Roman tells Steve and Andrew that the first question is how Kate escaped the island. Andrew points out that she couldn’t have escaped by plane so the only way out would have been by boat. Steve points out that they know Dr. Rolf escaped on a boat as they found him in Athens. Andrew notes that Bo took Kayla on a similar boat. Roman asks if there was another boat. Andrew says not that they know of, but there was a space for a third boat. Roman declares that has to be how Kate left. Andrew agrees. Roman points out that Bo released Kate weeks ago, so he questions where the hell she’s been all this time and why she hasn’t contacted someone.

A man approaches Kate on the boat. Kate tells him that she needs his help. Kate says she knows how much he helped her already and says he saved her life already as when she was on the little boat, she had no idea where she was going until he rescued her and brought her on this ship. The man asks her about her work cutting fish. Kate says she will get back to that but first she needs to make a phone call. He offers a phone but questions how much she will pay him for it.

Harris encourages Shawn to let himself off the hook since he did this. Shawn tells him to stop. Harris argues that Shawn saw Bo holding a gun on his mother and asks how he couldn’t react. Shawn complains that he keeps hearing over and over again that he did what anyone else would have done and he’s sick and tired of it. Shawn declares that the bottom line is that his dad may die because of him and him alone. Shawn knows Harris is just trying to make him feel better or make himself feel less guilty, but he can look at it however he wants. Shawn admits some of it is on Harris but at the end of the day, Harris didn’t pull the trigger and shoot his own father.

EJ questions Belle saying that Shawn shot his own father and put him in a coma. Belle confirms it happened two days ago in Greece. EJ questions why he would do that. Belle explains that Shawn thought Bo was about to shoot Hope but he wasn’t and it was just a terrible, tragic mistake. EJ asks what the prognosis is. Belle says that nobody really knows and they just wait and pray now. Belle tells EJ that is a life and death situation while what is happening with Gabi is not. Belle notes that Bo might not survive and Shawn is just devastated. EJ remarks that it sounds like Shawn really screwed up so Belle punches him in the stomach. EJ questions her doing that. Belle says EJ deserved it and says what happened was an accident. Belle knows EJ doesn’t like Shawn but says that what he said is low even for him. EJ apologizes for not thinking before speaking. Belle argues that EJ should’ve thought before inviting her over or just thought more in general about what an insensitive jerk he is. Belle goes to leave but EJ stops her and says he knows that he and Shawn don’t get along, but he does feel for him and their whole family so he’s sorry that she’s going through what she’s going through. Belle thanks him. EJ would like to make up for what he said and thinks he knows how can do that.

Harris acknowledges that he can’t know how Shawn feels and that he didn’t pull the trigger, but he still feels responsible and like he should be the one paying for it. Shawn tells Harris that nothing is going to happen to him since he didn’t do anything illegal. Shawn argues that the only one punishing Harris would be himself because no one is coming to arrest him. Harris argues that he’s still paying for it because he lost Hope.

Kayla explains to Stephanie and Chad that the surgeon found a microchip in Bo’s brain which is how Megan was controlling him and the ISA was able to read the chip with an app which contained a video file from Bo’s point of view, so they could see everything he did and hear what he was saying. Kayla adds that they very clearly see Bo fire his gun in the air and tell Kate to run which she did. Chad is confused because he thought Bo told Kayla himself that he killed Kate. Kayla confirms that he did. Stephanie questions why Bo would lie. Kayla thinks he did it to scare her to keep her in line, since he went out of his way to make her believe that he was dangerous and capable of murder. Kayla says no matter what he said, she knew it wasn’t true. Stephanie is relieved that she was right and hugs her as Chad remains in disbelief.

Roman says the first thing Kate would have wanted to do when she got off the island would be to call her family and let them know that she was alive, so he questions why she didn’t. Steve points out that Kate likely had no idea where she was and no way to navigate, so it might have taken her for awhile to get to the main land. Roman argues that it shouldn’t take weeks and asks why Kate wouldn’t find the first person she saw and ask to use their phone. Andrew points out that Kate wasn’t an experienced sailor and the water out there can be treacherous. Roman tells Andrew not to suggest that Kate didn’t make it. Roman calls Kate the strongest woman he knows as she has survived cancer, a plane crash, being shot, and buried alive. Roman argues that there’s no chance and guarantees that Kate is alive.

Kate questions the man wanting her to pay to use his phone. The man says he has to pay his bills. Kate argues that she has nothing to her name other than the clothes she is wearing. The man asks about her boat. Kate explains that was just a boat she found when she escaped the island that she was being held prisoner on. Kate says when he found her in the water, she had just escaped and everyone she loves thinks she’s dead. Kate just wants to call her husband to tell him that she’s alive and she wants to go home. Kate assures that she can pay him when she gets home but she doesn’t have anything to give him now. The man then asks what about her wedding ring.

Chad can’t believe Kate is alive and excitedly hugs Stephanie. Kayla calls it incredible news. Chad asks where she is and if he can see or talk to Kate. Kayla suggests going inside for answers so they head in to the hospital.

Andrew apologizes to Roman and agrees that there is no reason to give up hope. Roman knows he has to be prepared for any outcome. Andrew declares that the only acceptable outcome in this case is to find Kate. Andrew thinks he will need to go find reinforcements so they will catch up in a bit. Andrew then exits. Steve tells Roman that he’s right that Kate is as tough as they come. Roman guesses that Kate washed ashore on another island. Roman hopes he wasn’t too hard on Andrew just now. Steve assures that Andrew understands Roman is just laying out the facts to make sure everybodyis prepared for the mission to find Kate.

Belle asks how EJ is planning to make it up to her. EJ doesn’t suppose anything will make up for his behavior but thinks he can offer her something she may find useful. EJ then offers Belle the DiMera jet so she can go see her husband. EJ is sure Shawn is in a lot of pain and he knows she wants to be with him. EJ tells Belle to fly out to Greece today and come back whenever she’s ready, noting that he will pay for all the expenses. Belle calls that very generous of him but says she can’t because she’s in the middle of a tiral. EJ suggests asking for a continuance and believes everyone would understand. Belle feels it wouldn’t be fair to her client to just take off and that Shawn understands. EJ tells her to just let him know if she changes her mind. EJ decides he will handle Gabi as Belle then exits the mansion.

Harris repeats to Shawn that he saw Hope earlier and she made it very clear that it was over between them. Shawn asks what he expected after keeping the truth from her about the love of her life, so of course she was going to dump his ass. Shawn asks if he expects him to feel sorry for him. Harris says no and that he’ll just have to live with how he hurt all of them for the rest of his life. Shawn says he’s going to shower and then back to the hospital. Harris notes that he will be praying for his family and he really does hope that Bo will be okay. Shawn then heads to his room. Harris then gets a text from Andrew, saying he needs to talk to him.

Roman tells Steve that he’s having a hell of a time wrapping his head around this whole thing, especially Bo being alive. Steve talks about seeing Bo in front of him after all these years. Roman guesses it had to be confusing with the way Bo was acting. Steve says it didn’t take too long to realize it wasn’t the real Bo Brady but that his best friend of 40 years was still in there somewhere. Roman talks about being so damn happy when he heard Bo was back but he was having a hard time with the thought that Bo killed Kate. Roman states that he loves Bo and would’ve done anything to help him get better, but he doubts there’s any way he could have ever forgiven him if he had killed Kate. Steve is glad he doesn’t have to worry about that anymore. Roman calls it a big weight off his shoulders. Steve tells Roman to just wait until they get Kate back. Roman says they just have to find her.

Kate tells the man that she can’t give him her wedding ring. He argues that she can just get another one when she returns home. Kate argues that she can’t as it’s one of a kind and her prized possession. Kate mentions Roman putting it on her finger on her deathbed. The man insists that if she wants to use his phone, he needs the ring. Kate reluctantly agrees but notes that the ring is her last possession. The man warns that she only gets one call and no more. Kate hands over the ring as he gives her the phone. Kate then calls Roman, hoping he picks up.

As she’s leaving the DiMera Mansion, Belle calls Shawn and asks if he’s at the hospital. Shawn says he’s at the hotel for a quick shower. Belle asks for the latest. Shawn says he just spoke to Hope and she said Bo squeezed her hand. Belle calls that a good sign. Shawn says the doctors said not to get their hopes up since nothing else has changed and they don’t expect Bo to wake up any time soon. Belle encourages that he could and tells Shawn not to give up hope. Shawn assures that he’s not but that it’s just hard.

Kate pleads for Roman to pick up the phone but gets a recording that the call could not be completed as dialed. Kate wants to try again but the man reminds her that she only had one call. Kate tries to argue but he refuses and tells her to get back to work as he exits.

Chad, Stephanie, and Kayla join Roman and Steve. Stephanie calls it the best news about Kate. Chad asks what the plan is to find her. Steve responds that they are working on it. Chad wants to help with whatever they need. Roman says they appreciate that and they have some leads and taht Andrew is on it too. Kayla asks if Andrew is still around. Steve notes that he said he had to go get reinforcements. Stephanie asks what that means. Roman admits he’s not sure.

Andrew meets Harris at the hotel and says he’s glad he caught him. Harris says he was just heading out when he got his text. Andrew asks where he’s heading. Harris says he’s just going some place else to figure out his next move. Andrew responds that maybe he can help him with that. Andrew informs Harris that he needs his help as it turns out Kate is alive and they need to find her. Harris questions why Andrew would want his help when he has done irreparable damage to his family. Andrew asks how he’d like a shot at redemption.

Update written by Joseph

Steve brings Kayla some fruit and yogurt at the Greek hospital but she says she’s not hungry. Steve points out that she barely slept last night. Kayla says she’s just so worried about Bo. Steve encourages that if anybody can get through this it’s Bo Brady. Roman then arrives. Kayla hugs him and says she’s so glad he’s here. Kayla asks if he can believe this. Roman admits he’s still in shock and asks how the hell Bo ended up right back at death’s door.

Shawn walks outside and thinks back to shooting Bo. Ciara arrives and hugs him, saying she came as soon as she heard. Ciara can’t believe it and asks if their dad is really alive. Shawn says no thanks to him.

Harris sits in his room until Andrew shows up at his door. Harris guesses Andrew is here to talk about his uncle Bo. Andrew says he was on the phone half the night with his mother who is a wreck. Harris apologizes. Andrew says what happened to Bo wasn’t his fault but Harris is not so sure about that.

Hope sits at Bo’s side in his hospital room and has a dream about Bo waking up and them reuniting. Hope then snaps out of it and Bo remains unconscious in his hospital bed.

Chad joins Stephanie in their hotel room. Stephanie asks if he spoke to the kids. Chad says he was about to call when he remembered that it’s the middle of the night in Salem. Chad asks what’s on her mind. Stephanie says she’s just thinking about how lucky she is to be here in Chad’s arms, having Kayla back and Steve is safe. Stephanie prays that God has one more miracle left for her uncle Bo.

Roman doesn’t know what to feel since Bo has been gone for so many years but now he’s back alive. Steve talks about walking in to the police station and seeing Bo’s face. Roman asks if Bo will pull out of this. Kayla says they don’t know as the bullet did a lot of damage, but Hope is in with him now. Roman comments on what Hope must be going through. Kayla decides she will go check on her and invites Roman to come but Roman says not yet as he still needs to get his bearings. Steve says he will keep Roman company as Kayla exits. Roman asks Steve how Hope is holding up. Steve says it’s about like he’d expect, but Shawn is the one he’s worried about. Steve wonders how Shawn will ever get over shooting his own father.

Ciara tells Shawn that Steve told her what happened and understands that he thought Bo was going to shoot Hope. Shawn argues that he wasn’t though and Hope had gotten through to him so that he was Dad again. Ciara points out that Shawn didn’t know. Shawn argues that he should have realized that Hope is the one person who could always reach Bo no matter what because that’s how powerful their love is, but instead he went in guns blazing. Ciara argues that he can’t blame himself and that Hope doesn’t and Bo won’t either. Ciara says they just got Bo back and can’t lose him again. Ciara suggests they go see him but Shawn tells her to go ahead. Ciara questions Shawn not seeing Bo. Shawn complains that he can’t face him or Hope after what he did. Ciara tells him to take all the time he needs and assures that nobody blames him as it’s not his fault. Ciara then heads in to the hospital.

Hope encourages Bo to come back to her and says this is their second chance. Kayla joins Hope in the room. Hope hugs her and is thankful she is okay. They tell each other they look beautiful and talk about having Bo back. Kayla checks his file but says it doesn’t say anything they don’t already know. Kayla adds that Bo has a tough fight ahead, but they know what a fighter he is. Hope mentions her dream that he woke up. Kayla says there are so many people praying for Bo to come back to them. Kayla declares that Bo has survived so many things, so they have to have faith that he will survive this too. Ciara arrives and says amen to that as she enters the room and hugs Hope. Ciara looks over and says it’s really him. Ciara sits at Bo’s side and talks to him. Ciara wonders if Bo can hear her. Hope encourages that he knows she’s there. Ciara cries to Bo about how much she’s missed him. Ciara adds that she cannot wait for Bo to meet his grandson. Kayla asks if Ciara saw Shawn on her way in. Ciara confirms that he did and she tried to get him to come with her but he wasn’t ready as he’s blaming himself for what happened. Kayla says she will go talk to him but Shawn then arrives and says she doesn’t have to do that.

Steve knows Roman doesn’t want to go in to see Bo because he’s relieved and happy that he’s alive but also devastated by what he likely did to Kate. Steve argues that they know that wasn’t Bo since he was under Megan’s control. Roman says he wants nothing more than for Bo to come out of this for Hope, their kids, and their whole family. Roman questions how he could ever look Bo in the eyes again and know that he took Kate away from him.

Kayla decides she will go update Steve and Roman in the waiting room, noting that they will be so excited to know Ciara is there. Kayla then exits the room. Shawn apologizes to Hope. Hope hugs him and understands he did what he was trained to do. Shawn doesn’t give a damn because he shot his father. Hope understands that Shawn thought she was in danger and Bo would have wanted him to protect her. Shawn reluctantly agrees and says he should be comforting her right now. Hope claims she’s fine but Ciara asks when she last slept or ate. Hope responds that she’s not hungry and is not leaving until Bo wakes up. Ciara points out that they don’t know how long that will be. Shawn adds that she’s not doing anyone any favors by running herself in to the ground. Hope jokes about ending up with such stubborn children. Hope guesses she could use a shower and a change of clothes. Ciara encourages Hope to take a nap and get some sleep. Hope tells them not to leave the room and to call her immediately if anything changes which they agree to do. Hope kisses Bo and says she will be right back. Hope hugs Ciara and reminds them not to leave until she gets back. Hope then exits the room. Shawn sits at Bo’s side and tells him that he loves him and they need him now more than ever as he pleads for Bo to come back to them.

Andrew questions Harris knowing Bo was alive and not saying anything. Harris admits it was not his finest hour. Harris thought Andrew came to arrest him. Andrew reveals he came to thank him for returning Thomas Banks and the missing prisms to the ISA. Harris asks if he’s still grateful after knowing what he did. Andrew admits the lie was pretty egregious but not exactly criminal. Harris is not sure the rest of his family feels that way. Andrew asks if he’s spoken to Hope. Harris says Hope has enough on her plate and he’s probably the last person she wants to talk to. Harris adds that he did get an earful from Andrew’s cousin Stephanie, who is not his biggest fan.

Stephanie complains to Chad that she could strangle Harris since if he came clean about Bo being alive sooner then Shawn would have never shot Bo. Chad points out that they don’t know that. Stephanie questions if he’s defending Harris. Chad acknowledges that it was a dick move, but adds that Harris did help them with Thomas Banks and practically saved his life. Stephanie accepts that Harris is not irredeemable but close. Stephanie doesn’t know what she would’ve done if she lost Chad. Chad says he’s still here. Stephanie acknowledges that Chad risked his life to help her find her parents. Chad jokes that Thomas Banks forgot his father was The Phoenix, so he’s risen from the ashes a few times. Chad and Stephanie then kiss until Stephanie stops and says she feels guilty because her family is at the hospital rallying around her uncle while she’s here in Chad’s arms. Chad reminds her that her parents said they would call if there’s a change. Chad reminds Stephanie that she’s been there for her brothers, her parents, and for him and his kids when he was at his lowest. Chad tells Stephanie that it’s time to let him be there for her. Stephanie says he talked her in to it as they continue kissing onto the bed.

Kayla informs Steve and Roman that she just got a text from Hope that she’s going back to the hotel to freshen up but she knows she won’t be long. Roman asks if anyone is in the room with Bo now. Kayla confirms that Ciara and Shawn are. Kayla then suggests Roman join them. Steve thinks it’s a good idea for Roman to go see his baby brother. Roman agrees and then exits. Kayla knows how hard this is for Roman. Steve says he’s having a hard time with what they think Bo did to Kate. Kayla points out that they have no way of knowing what really happened. Andrew arrives and greets them. Andrew asks how Bo is. Kayla says he’s in the trauma unit and hasn’t regained consciousness. Andrew mentions tracking down the surgeon who operated on Bo and reveals they found something very interesting in Bo’s brain. Kayla points out that wasn’t in his chart while Steve asks what they found. Andrew then shows them a vial with a microchip inside.

Ciara comments that Bo looks like he’s sleeping. Shawn asks if Ben and baby Bo came with her. Ciara says that Ben wanted to come but she didn’t want to leave baby Bo with a babysitter because she didn’t know how long she would be here. Ciara asks about Belle and Claire. Shawn says they are good. Shawn notes that Belle is checking in on Victor, Doug, and Julie while Claire offered to fly out but he told her to hold off until they knew more. Ciara mentions talking to Chelsea and she wanted to but reveals Chelsea is pregnant too. Ciara jokes that Bo has so many more grandkids coming. Shawn hopes he will be around to meet them. Ciara encourages that he will be. Ciara talks about how Bo will be the most involved grandparent on the planet for many years.

Hope walks outside and prays for God to not take Bo from her again. Hope then heads in to the hotel where she runs in to Harris. Hope asks if he’s leaving. Harris figured it would be best for everybody. Hope asks where he will go. Harris admits he’s not sure. Hope says she just came back to shower and change. Harris asks how Bo is. Hope responds that he’s in a coma and the doctors don’t know if he will ever wake up. Harris tells her that he’s so sorry. Hope questions why Harris didn’t tell her that Bo was alive the moment he found out. Harris admits it was because he’s selfish and he knew the moment that Hope found out, whatever they had would be over. Harris says that is the reason and he knows it’s no excuse but Bo warned him not to because it would put Hope and her family in danger. Hope argues that Harris of all people knows what it’s like to be under Megan’s control. Harris says that’s why he came clean. Hope argues that she trusted him and he should’ve come clean sooner. Harris wishes that he had. Hope decides she should go. Harris stops her and admits he screwed up. Harris says after all the time, he thought they had something real because he’s never had that and he just didn’t want to let go. Harris adds that he really did care about her. Hope admits that she cared about him too. Harris says he knows that Bo is the love of her life. Hope says goodbye to Harris and walks away.

Chad and Stephanie lay in bed together, wishing they could stay like this forever. Chad knows her family needs her. Stephanie says after the Hell that everyone’s been through lately, she prays for it not to get worse. Chad encourages her to be positive. Chad assures he’s there for her and will always be right by her side as they kiss.

Andrew tells Kayla and Steve that the chip being in Bo’s brain would explain how Megan was able to control him as the ISA has dozens of files on the DiMeras using this kind of technology to manipulate people. Steve informs Andrew that they did it to him and made him think he was Stefano. Kayla adds that Dr. Rolf did it to Hope too. Kayla wonders if there is a way to access the memory on the chip. Steve calls that good thinking so they could find out what Bo was up to while under Megan’s control. Andrew decides there’s only one way to find out and pulls out his laptop.

Ciara wakes up from having fallen asleep in the chair in Bo’s hospital room. Ciara tells Shawn that she’s sorry but she didn’t get any sleep on the plane. Shawn suggests she go join Hope at the hotel but Ciara refuses to leave. Roman then enters and agrees with Shawn, joking that big brothers are always right as he and Ciara hug. Roman turns and looks over Bo. Roman says he’s heard Shawn has been beating himself up. Shawn feels he has good reason but everyone’s been letting him off the hook. Shawn argues that he should’ve waited while Roman points out that if he did, Hope could be in the hospital instead. Roman adds that everyone he knows would have done the same thing. Roman hugs Shawn and assures this is not his fault. Roman calls Shawn a damn good man that he is proud of. Roman declares that Megan Hathaway took one of the best men he ever knew and made him do unspeakable things like pulling a gun on the love of his life, kidnapping his own sister, and taking Kate from him. Roman sits at Bo’s side and tells him that he has to come back to them. Roman says they will figure out the rest as family but he has to come back to them. Hope returns and hugs Roman, calling him a sight for sore eyes. Shawn points out that Hope wasn’t gone very long so he hopes she got some sleep. Hope assures that she’s good and asks for some time alone with Bo. Roman says he has to go check with Steve and Kayla anyway. Ciara decides she will call Ben and invites Shawn to come say hi to his nephew. Hope tells them that she loves them. Shawn tells Bo that he will see him soon as he then exits with Ciara and Roman. Hope tells Bo that it’s just them now together and alone, so they need to talk about Harris.

Harris goes to leave the hotel when Chad and Stephanie catch him at the door. Chad questions him leaving. Stephanie mentions that they are on their way to the hospital to see Bo. Harris mentions running in to Hope earlier and that she filled him in. Harris repeats that he’s sorry for not coming clean about Bo sooner. Harris tells Stephanie that he’s happy her parents are safe. Stephanie admits she’s not sure she will ever be able to forgive him for not telling them about Bo sooner, but acknowledges that he did save them from Thomas Banks. Chad says they owe him for that as he would’ve been dead for sure if Harris hadn’t shown up. Harris says he was happy to help and wishes them luck. Harris adds that he hopes Bo wakes up from the coma because he has a lot of people that love him and a lot to live for. Harris then exits the hotel.

Andrew shows Kayla and Steve how his laptop can decode the microchip. Steve hopes it will tell them what was going on in Bo’s head while under Megan’s control. Andrew says it’s possible but it’s also possible that Dr. Rolf engineered the chip to fry his laptop. Roman arrives and asks when Andrew got there. Andrew informs him that he just landed in Greece today. Roman asks what they are looking at. Kayla informs him that the surgeon found a microchip in Bo’s brain. Roman asks if that’s a good thing. Steve hopes it will give them some insight in to Bo’s psyche while Megan was pulling his strings. Roman points out that they could find out what Kate’s last moments were like. Kayla asks if he’s sure he wants those answers. Roman assures that he can handle it. Andrew says he could stop the scan since Megan’s already in prison but it’s up to Roman. Roman orders him to keep going because he needs to know what Bo did to Kate and what happened to her body, feeling he owes that to Kate and her family.

Ciara sits outside finishing a facetime call with Ben and baby Bo. Shawn joins her as Ciara talks about missing them so much. Shawn asks how Ben is doing. Ciara admits Ben is having a really hard time wrapping his head around the fact that Bo is still alive. Ciara recalls giving birth to Bo and having her dad’s spirit come down to Earth to visit her. Ciara adds that Ben saw it too which is how she knows she wasn’t imagining it but she doesn’t how that’s possible if Bo wasn’t really dead. Shawn says it sounds like Bo found a way to her when she needed him the most. Ciara says he always did. Shawn hopes there’s still some of that magic left for Bo to come back to them.

Hope sits at Bo’s side, talking about how Harris said that Bo told him not to tell her that he was alive but she knows that was Megan’s brainwashing talking because she has no doubt that the real Bo wants to be with her as much as she wants to be with him. Hope urges Bo to open his eyes so she can tell him how much she missed and loves him. Angela the nurse appears again and says she had a feeling that they needed a visit from her. Hope worries about Bo not waking up. Angela encourages that Hope and Bo have been through Hell and back to be together, so she can’t give up on him.

Chad and Stephanie find Ciara outside. Stephanie hugs Ciara and says she’s all grown up. Ciara talks about being a mother now. Ciara hugs Chad and says it’s nice to see him. Chad asks about Bo. Ciara says nothing has changed really but Hope is with him now. Stephanie asks if Shawn is there too. Ciara says that Shawn went to go call Claire with an update but notes that Steve, Kayla, and Roman are all up in the waiting room and they will be really happy to see her. Stephanie thanks Ciara and encourages her not to lose faith because if anyone deserves a miracle from above, it’s Bo.

Hope assures Angela that she would never give up but that it’s so hard to see Bo in this condition. Angela says anyone can see how much Bo means to Hope. Hope calls Bo her whole heart and her hero since she was 18. Angela encourages Hope to hold out for her hero and keep fighting for her man. Angela assures Hope that God will hear her and then she disappears. Hope kisses Bo and lays by his side, declaring she will hold out for her hero for as long as it takes. Hope cries that she loves and misses him.

Steve asks Andrew about the chip scanning and it then completes. Roman asks what they have. Andrew finds a video file. Steve questions the chip recording video. Andrew guesses it somehow downloaded Bo’s activity through his field of vision. Roman asks to search for a specific time and date to find Kate for him. Andrew does so and hits play. They watch the video of Bo holding his gun on Kate. The video then reveals that Bo shot straight up above in to the air and did not shoot Kate. Bo then told Kate to go before he changed his mind and Kate ran off. Kayla exclaims that Bo did not shoot Kate. Roman declares that this could mean that Kate is alive but wonders where the hell she is.

Kate is somewhere on a boat, cutting up fish.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Hey baby. I brought you some fruit and Greek yogurt. Ah. Oh. I guess they just call it yogurt here. Come on. I’m not hungry, baby. You gotta eat something. You barely slept last night. What are you running on? Fumes? I’m just, I’m just so worried about both. Listen to me.

Your brother is every bit the merchant Marine I met over 40 years ago. Now, if anybody can get through this, it’s Bo Brady from your lips. Oh, Roman. Hey, I am so glad you’re here. Me too. Sis. Me too. Can you believe us? Well, to be honest with you, I think I’m still in shock. I mean, our little brother. He outruns the grim Reaper only end up right back at death’s store.

Now how the hell did that happen?

I came as soon as I heard. I can’t believe that. Is Dad really alive? Yeah, no, thanks to me.

It’s Donovan. Commander Michaels, I take it you’re here to talk about your uncle. Be the phone half the night with my mother, which is a wreck. Yeah, I’m, I’m sorry for what your family’s going through. Why are you apologizing? I’m happened to my uncle be Wasn’t your fault. Not so sure about that.

The true miracle.

That’s what a nurse called it. And your heart started being again, Angela? Yeah. That’s her name. She said she’d never seen anything like it. Bo I, I, I can’t say that I’m. Completely surprised by it. I mean, I,

I knew you’d never give up. You’d never stop fighting

and.

What happened? He was shot. You survived. He took me at, I need to get the doctor in. No, no, no. Don’t leave. I have to tell him, you woke up.

I don’t wanna be part ever again. We promise.

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

Did you speak to the kids? Well, I got about halfway through Colin and remembered it was the middle of the night back in St. Oh, right. Thomas and Charlotte don’t stay up until two in the morning. No, not usually.

I told ’em to, uh, call me when they wake up. So you seem like you’re deep in thought. It’s on your mind. I, um, I was just thinking about how lucky I am when I’m here in your arms. I have my mom back. Papa is safe. I just pray that God has one more miracle left for my uncle boat.

I mean, damn, I, I don’t know what to feel. Bo’s have been gone so many years and now he’s back alive. I hear you man. I can’t tell you what it felt like to walk in that room, in that police station and see Bo’s faces. He gonna pull out of this. Okay, Brianna now know the bullet. Did a lot of damage. Hope’s in with him now.

Hmm? Hope what? She must be going through. Yeah. Uh, I’m gonna go check on her and see if there’s any change. You wanna come? Uh, you know what, uh, no, no, not yet. I, uh, I just think I need to, uh, give my bears. Yeah. Hey, I’ll keep this dude company. You go ahead, baby. Okay. Oh.

So, uh, how is Hope holding out? Well, about, like, you’d expect, Sean’s the one I’m worried about. I mean, how is that poor kid ever gonna get over shooting his own father? Uncle Steve told me what happened. Sean, you thought that dad was trying to hurt mom, but he wasn’t Sierra, he mom had gotten through to him.

She had, she had reminded him of all the memories that they once shared and he. Look, he was dad again. Maybe you didn’t know. Yeah, but I should have. I mean, how good. I should have realized that mom, mom is the one person that that can always reach him no matter what. Hey, that’s how powerful the love is.

But no, what do I do? I go in there. Guns please, like an idiot. Stop. You can’t blame yourself for trying to save mom’s life, okay? And mom doesn’t blame you either. And when Daddy wakes up, look, if he wakes up, don’t talk to me like that, okay? Don’t say that. Because we just got him back after all these years, and I refuse to believe that God is cruel enough to take him away from us again.

I wanna believe that you’re right. I am Ray. Okay. No, come on. Let’s go see him. You listen. You go ahead. You’re not coming.

I’ll be in there in a minute. Okay, but you have. Seen him, right? Sean, you haven’t Listen, Sierra, I, I can’t. Okay. I can’t, I, I, I can’t face him. I don’t want to, I can’t face mom. I not after what I did. Like it’s No, just, just not, yeah. Okay. Okay. Take all the time you need. But I’m gonna repeat myself. Nobody blames you.

All right? This is not your fault.

Up time,

come back to

our.

Thank God. Okay, let me look at you. Beautiful as ever. As are you

back?

Same.

Let me see if, uh, two semesters of Greek and college paid off.

What’s it say? Uh, nothing. Nothing that we didn’t already know. Post. Got a tough fight ahead. We know what a fighter is. We. Yeah, we do.

I had a dream. He woke up.

I’m sitting right in that chair. He opened his eyes. He smile at me. Is it face to face?

This could be a good sign, mate. Yes, definitely. There are so many people out there praying for Paul, have him come back to us. He survived so many things. We have to have faith that he’s gonna survive this too. Amen to that.

It’s really him. It’s really, oh my God.

It’s me and Sierra. Oh my God. I love you so much.

Do you think he can actually hear us? Maybe he can hear me. Yes, he knows you’re here. Honey. Daddy, I miss you. I miss you every single day

and I cannot wait for you to meet your grandson. Your little bow. Sierra, did you say, Sean when you went. Um, yeah, yeah, I saw him. Um, and I tried to get him to come with me, but he wasn’t ready. He’s blaming himself for.

You don’t have to do that.

There you go, buddy. Might help with the jet lag.

Lag. That is the least what I’m thinking.

I bet Roman, listen, I know why you don’t want to go in there and see Bo. It’s because as relieved and happy as you are that he’s alive. You’re also devastated by what he likely did to Kate. What he likely did killed her. Steve, hey, that wasn’t Bo, and you know it, he was under Megan’s control. My brain knows that, but my heart, look, I want nothing more and for Bo to come out of this for hope, their kids, their grandkids, help for our whole family.

But how can I ever look my little brother in the eye again and know the fact? That he took Kate away from me. I’m gonna go give Steve and Roman an update. Okay. I’m Flo Romans here too. Yeah, he just arrived. They’re in the waiting room. They’re gonna be so excited to know that you’re here.

Look, mom, I’m sorry. I’m so sorry.

Look at me. You did what you were trained to do. Listen, I don’t give a damn about my training. I shot my father because you thought that I was in danger and you were protecting me. I know that. And you know that it’s exactly what your dad would’ve wanted you to do to protect me.

You’re right. You’re right. You’re right. I should be comforting you right now. No, I, I’m fine. No, mom, you’re not fine. When was the last time you slept, you had something to eat? I’m not hungry. I’m not leaving until dad wakes up. If you don’t know how long that’s gonna be. Look, mom, she’s right. You’re not doing anybody a favor by running yourself into the ground.

How did I end up with such stubborn children? Gee, I wonder why. I mean,

I guess I could use a shower and change your clothing. Mm-hmm. And a nap. I want you to get some sleep. Come on. Do you have a hotel anywhere nearby? Yeah, right across the street. Okay, good.

You won’t leave this room, you’ll stay with your dad. If anything changes, you’ll call me immediately. Of course, we are not gonna leave this room right, Sean? That’s right.

I’ll

you not leaving.

Do not wait till I get back.

I love you dad so much.

We need you.

We need you right now. More than that.

So come back to us.

Please come back to us.

You knew was alive and didn’t say anything. Not even to hope. It’s not my finest hour. I’m surprised nobody in your family told you. I saw you at the door and I thought you were here to arrest me. No, actually, I was here to thank you. Thank me for returning Thomas Banks in the missing prisons to ISA custody.

Are you still feeling grateful? Now that you know what I did Alive O Mission, especially one of this magnitude is pretty egregious. But it’s not exactly criminal. I’m not sure the rest of your family feels that way. Have you spoken to Hope? No. Hope’s got enough on her mind. I’m sure I’m the last person she wants to talk to,

but I did get an earful from your cousin, Stephanie. Stephanie, I guess you could say that. She’s not my biggest fan. I can just strangle that bastard if he’d come clean about my Uncle Beau being alive earlier. The literal Greek tragedy of Sean shooting his own dad would’ve never happened. We don’t know that.

Wait, are you defending Michael’s? What? No, I’m, I’m not. It was a dick move that he didn’t tell us about Beau, but he helped us with Thomas Banks. He practically saved my life. Okay. Okay. So he is not completely irredeemable, but he’s damn close. I don’t know what I would’ve done if I’d lost you. Well, I’m still here.

You almost weren’t. You risked your life to help me rescue my parents.

I think Thomas Banks forgot that my father was the Phoenix. You know, I’ve, uh, I’ve risen from the ashes a few times in my day. Mm. More lives than a cat, huh? And I wanna spend them all with you.

What’s wrong? I just, I just feel guilty. My family’s at the hospital rallying around my uncle, and I’m here. In your arms.

Your parents said they would call you if there was a change, right?

You’ve been there for your brothers, your parents. They’re there for me and my kids and I was at my lost

It’s time. Let there be someone there for you in this case. In this case me, hopefully.

You talked me it? Yeah. Mm-hmm. That’s what I was calling for.

I just got a text from Hope. She said she’s gonna go to the hotel and freshen up. I know her. It won’t be for long. Is uh anybody in the room with Bo now? Yeah, sir. And Sean. How’d you join them? I think it’s a good idea. Roman. That’s your baby brother in there. Go see him.

Okay. So I know how hard this is for him. Yeah, it sure is. He’s uh, Have hard time with what Bo did to Kate. What we think Bo did. Yes, I know. We have no way of knowing what really happened. That’s right. All we have is the word of a man who was programmed against his will. I know that right? Hey, oh, Andrew Donovan.

Get over here. Oh. Oh. Hi Steve. How you doing buddy? Hey, doing good. How’s Uncle Bo? Well, he’s uh, in the trauma unit. Um, he hasn’t regained consciousness. I tracked down the surgeon who operated on him last night. Turns out they found something in his brain, something very interesting. Really, that wasn’t in his chart.

What’d they find this? He looks like he’s sleeping and just like he did when he dozed off. When we would watch Cup games together.

Yeah. Yeah.

So, um, did, uh, did Ben and Little be come with you? No, Ben wanted to come, but I didn’t wanna leave, be with a sitter. I didn’t know how long I was gonna be here. So

we’re bell and clear? They’re good. Good. The bell’s, bell’s. Checking in on Victor and, and Doug and Julian. Claire, she has to fly out here, but I told her to hold off until we knew more. Yeah, that’s a good idea.

Oh, also, I, uh, I talked to Chelsea. Oh, nice. Is she coming? Um, she really wanted to, but her obstetrician told her to stay in bed. Peter obstetrician she. What? Is she pregnant too? Yeah, we’re both pregnant. You hear that? Dad? You got so many more grandkids coming your way. Oh God. Let’s just, let’s just hope that he’s around to be able to meet them.

He will be. Right. God, you’re gonna spoil those kids so much. You are gonna give us all parenting advice whether we ask for it or not. You are gonna be the most involved grandparent on the planet for so many years. Just watch. You’ll see. Right Dad,

please God,

don’t take off me again.

You’re leaving. Yeah. I figured it’s best for everybody serve you. I don’t, I’m not really sure.

I just came back to shower and changed. How’s,

he’s in a coma. The doctors don’t deliver. Wake up. I’m so sorry. Why didn’t.

Why didn’t you tell me he was alive the moment you found out? Why? Why? Because I’m selfish.

Because I knew The moment that you found out whatever you and I had would be, it would be over. And that’s not even the excuse That is the reason. And I know this is not an excuse either, but Bo warned me not to tell you because he said, if I did, you and your family would be in danger. Paris, you of all people know what it’s like to be into Jamaica, into control.

They said that then you knew it was him. Not speaking. That was her. I, I, I had an idea. That’s why I came. I came clean. I hope I, I trusted you.

I trusted you. You should have come clean soon. I wish I had. You have no idea.

I.

I just, I just wanna say this. I, I screwed up. Okay. I know I did. It’s just that after everything we faced and, and nearly losing you, I thought,

and I thought we had sense, uh, had something real because.

I’ve never had that.

I, I just didn’t want to let go.

I really did care about you.

I cared about you two ever.

But Post, she’s the love of your life.

I wish we could stay like this forever. Yeah, me too.

I know your family needs you. Yeah, they do.

After the hell that everyone’s been through lately, I just.

I let it not get worse.

I mean, if my Uncle Bow doesn’t recover, hey,

don’t you?

I need you to be positive, okay? And I know you know this, and I know I don’t need to say it, but I’m gonna say it anyway. I’m I,

so this chip was in my brother’s brain, and I would explain how Megan Hathaway was able to control him. The ISA has dozens of case files on the dam. Mayors using this kind of tech to manipulate people and doing their bidding. Well, I don’t have to read those files, do I baby? I lived it. They did it to you?

Yeah. Rolf put one of those ships in my brain to make me think I was stephano. He used one on hope too. Two. That family, the gift that keeps on giving. Tell me about it. I wonder if there’s a way to access the memory on this thing. Good thinking. If we can find out what Bo was up, sir, when he was under Megan’s control.

It’s only one way to find out.

Oh God. Oh, sorry. I just, I didn’t get, um, any sleep on the plane. No, that’s okay. But what? Hey, why don’t you go over to the hotel with mom, find the pen. Hell no. Shawn got here. You take shine bike, Sierra, two big brothers or right? Everything. Oh my God. I’m Hi. Hi.

Oh man. Up to you.

So I, uh, here you’ve been, uh, beating yourself up very good with good reason. Everybody’s been letting me off the hook, but, um, look, I should have just waited. Yeah, and your mom would be lying here. Or worse, you don’t know that you thought your mom’s life was in danger. And it was, there’s not a person I know that wouldn’t have done the same damn thing.

Now, come here.

Okay? You listened man. Okay. This is not your fault. You get that? Can you hear me? This is not your fault. You are a damn good man, nephew. I’m proud of you. I love you. Alright. Okay.

But damn, Megan Hassler. She took one of the best men I have ever known and made him do unspeakable things. Hold a gun on the love of his life, kidnap his own sister and.

Take my cape from me.

Come back to us, bro. Okay.

You gotta come back to us.

Please. Okay. And you know, all the rest of the stuff, everything will, we’ll figure that out as a family. But damn, my little brother, you gotta come back to me. Okay? You gotta come back to us.

Hey, is there room for another Brady? Okay. You. Hi. Oh my gosh. You are a sight for so eyes. And you are as beautiful as the day you married my brother. Uh hmm. Which time was that? Every time, mommy, I’m be gone very long. Please tell us that you got some sleep. Yeah, I’m, I’m good. I’m good. Um, could I ask a favor?

Sure. Anything, uh, could I just have some time alone with your brother please? Well, look, go. I mean, I’ve gotta go check with Steve and Kayla anyways. Yeah, and I am going to call Ben and oh and see how they’re doing without mommy right soon. To my love. I will, John, would you like to come and say hi to your nephew?

Amazing. I love you, sweetheart. I love you so much. I love you so much. I love you. I you love you too, sweetheart.

Okay, Brady.

It’s just me and you. Now, together, alone,

we need to talk about Harris.

Harris, Hey, you leaving? Yeah. We’re on our way to the hospital to see my Uncle Beau. Yeah, I bumped into help earlier. She filled me in. And like I said, uh, to her, I’m sorry that I didn’t come clean about Beau earlier. Hope came back here. Yeah. She said she was gonna change and then head back to the hospital speed with the man she loves Ray, and I know you don’t need to hear this from me, but I’m glad your parents are okay.

Thanks. And the truth is, I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to forgive you for not telling us if about Uncle Bo sooner. But you did save us from Thomas Banks. Yeah, we owe you for that. I would’ve been a dead man for sure. If you hadn’t a show. No. Happy to help. Good luck, Stephanie. Yeah, I, I hope your uncle be wakes up from that coma.

I do. He’s got a lot of people who love him. He’s got a lot to live for.

So that scanner is able to read what’s on the chip. Yeah. My ISA laptop is capable of decoding even the most sensitive microchips. It’s reading it as we speak. Well, let’s hope it will tell us what was going on in Bo’s head when he was under Megan’s control. Yeah, it’s possible. It’s also possible that Rolf engineered the chip to.

Try my hard drive liquor, strip of bacon. Let’s hope not. Andrew, when did you get here? Uh, uncle Roman just landed in Greece today. Okay. Uh, What are we looking at? Don’t everybody answer at the same time. Um, the surgeon found a microchip in Bo’s brain. Is that a good thing? Well, we’re hoping it might give us some insight into Bo’s psyche when Megan was pulling his strings, meaning that, uh, we could find out what case slash moments on earth were like.

Do you really want those answers, Roman? I can handle it. Okay. You sure I can stop the scan? Megan’s already put, put in prison. You know, and it’s up to you how it going. I need another truth about what Bo did to my wife and what he did with her body. I owe it to Kate. I owe it to her family. Okay. Then let’s see what’s on this chip,

sweetheart. Mommy loves you so much. She loves daddy too. Mm-hmm. Yeah. We’ll FaceTime again tomorrow. Okay. All right. I love you guys. Bye.

Thank you.

Thanks. That little boy yours. There’s a cute Oh yeah. When he is not being an absolute tyrant. Oh God. I miss my voice so much. I’m sure you do. How’s Ben doing?

He’s having a really hard time wrapping his head around the fact that dad is still alive.

John, when right after I gave birth to Bow, dad’s spirit came down to visit me, his spirit. Yeah. I, uh, I was in distress and all of a sudden he showed up and Ben saw it too. That’s how I know I wasn’t imagining it. I just, I don’t understand how that’s possible if daddy isn’t actually dead. Yeah, I don’t, I don’t know.

No clue. But it sounds to me like he found a way to make his way back to you in a little bow. When you needed him the most. Just like he always did. Yeah. Let’s hope that, uh, there’s still some of that magic so he can find his way back to us.

Harris said that

you told him, um, much lemme know that you were alive.

Oh, I know that. Wasn’t you talking, it was Megan’s brainwashing conditioning her. Whatever the hell she did to you, Bo,

I have no doubt that you, the real you wants to be with me as much as I wanna be with you.

Beautiful eyes,

so I,

come on. Please,

please, please.

It’s gonna be alright. Let it out. Angela, last I heard, I just started my shift, but I had a feeling that you needed a visit from me.

She’s not waking up. You listen. You listen. I know what you’re going through is hard, but you and this man have been to hell and back to be together, so don’t you dare. Don’t you dare give up on him.

Oh my God, Sierra, hi. Oh, wow. Look how you’re all grown up. Ah, well I am a mother now. Oh, I know. Mm-hmm. I’m seeing pictures of beautiful baby boat. He’s just horrible. Thank you so much, Chad. Very, so nice to see you. How’s, how’s your dad doing? Um, nothing has changed really. Mom is up there with him now. Is Sean up there too?

No. No. He, uh, he went to the hotel to give Claire a call and update her, but you should head up there. Your parents are there and Uncle Roman, they’re all gonna be really happy to see you. Thanks. And Sierra, don’t lose faith. Okay? If anyone deserves a miracle from above, it’s your dad.

I would never give up. Not ever. It’s just so hard to see him in this condition. I know it is sweetie. But anybody can see by the way you look at that man, how much he means to you. It’s my heart, my whole heart, and my hero since I was 18 years old. Well, honey, You hold out for that hero. You hear me? You keep fighting for your man until every drop of sand runs out of that great eyeglass in the sky.

Tell that to Bo. God, trust me. He’ll heal you,

Angela.

This right.

I will hold out for my hero.

Do you hear me?

I love you too. I miss you. Come back.

I thought you said it was almost done scanning the chip. Uh, scans complete. You ready? What do we got? It looks like a video file look, a chip recorded video. I guess somehow it was able to. Download BO’S activities through his field of vision. Okay, can you search for a specific time and date? Roman. Now show me Andrew, please find Kate for me.

Okay, just, just gimme a second.

All right. There she is. All right. Hit play.

Bo, you’re not going to kill me. Having your daughter’s grandmother having your brother’s wife. This is. This is hard to watch.

Didn’t shoot me go before I changed my mind. Roman mommy didn’t do it. Bob did not shoot Kate. Oh, could mean Katie is alive. But where the hell is she?

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

All bugging me fully paid my rent.

Hmm. It’s Brady who’s almost here. So he is gotta talk to me about something. Okay. I’ll just let you two co-conspirators talk then. Wait, you said you just wondered who doctored those biscuits instead of Chanel? We would do something like that. Oh God. I mean, I have a lot of enemies in this town. I should probably hire a private investigator or throw a monkey wrench into the police investigation.

Yeah. Well, how are you gonna do that? If I knew that I would already be doing it. Hmm.

Brady. Oh hey, I’m sorry. I didn’t know you were busy. No, it’s fine. I was actually, I’m just leaving. Don’t you worry. I’ll figure everything out. I always do. Okay.

What’s up? Oh, two’s still a thing, huh? Yes. We’re still a thing. Why? Mm. Ah, no offense. Just, um, Doesn’t everybody hate her?

Mm-hmm. Best chocolate brownie on the planet. Try a free sample. You’ll think you, you’re in heaven. It’s no use mama. People are so scared of what we bake. I couldn’t even pay someone to try one. Ooh, Chanel Dupree. Don’t you even think of giving up? Yeah. We’ll tell that to Sloane Peterson. She lost two court cases and that hasn’t slown her down, and so she can’t get me put in jail.

Then she’s trying to run my business to the ground. I told you we won’t let that happen. Now let’s just go home and come up with a plan because long you stay here, you just keep getting upset. I can’t leave. I have to stay here, close up and just get everything ready for tomorrow. If there is a tomorrow, oh, well, well, well, let me help you.

No, no, it’s, it’s fine. I, I, I wanna do it myself. I, I need to just clear my head and I, and I need some alone time and that’s why I sent Talia home. Oh, well, okay. Okay. You’re the boss. Okay. Oh, alright. I’ll see you later then. Okay, good. See you then. Mm-hmm. And thank you mama. We’re trying to help. Oh, you know, you know I’m there for you, baby girl, always.

What do you mean? Talia told me wasn’t true. You saying she lied to me? No, I’m not saying she lied. That would be assuming too much. It, it’s just, it’s just what? There’s this one thing, something she said that doesn’t line up with what really happened and it’s obviously really bothering you. You need to tell me what it is, Jada.

Hey,

God, tell ya, you won’t believe how much I missed you. I missed you too, and I’m sorry I’m late. The police want to talk to Megan. What for?

It’s not suspicious of anything, are they? No, no, no, no. Chanel was there too. They just wanted the firm of the timeline for when the biscuits got doctored. That’s all.

Hey, don’t worry. Okay. They have no idea that you are the one that put me up to it.

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

Okay, so going after Chanel and her bakery was my idea. For saying that I put you up to it. That’s kind of harsh. Don’t you think? I mean, are we not in this together? Yeah. No, we are definitely, I agree to do this. It’s, it’s just, it’s a little hard seeing I’m the only one out there and you just have to lay low.

Yeah. Yeah. Well, it is hard on this end too. My mother was the one that Chanel pushed off that roof. I know that. And you think that I like sending you out to do my work for me? No, I, I don’t think that at all. Look, I’m sorry. Okay. I, I should have never said that. You put me up to it. I wanted to help you and I still do, and I’m so grateful.

I know how much I’ve asked of you, and I know how much you’ve done for me.

And there’s that worry. Look again. Where’s it now? I don’t know it. It’s just what? Just say it. Look, it’s not just about me, Colin. The police are looking really hard into Sloan. She’s their number one suspect and she has no idea that her own brother is behind what happened.

Yes, it’s true. A lot of people do hate Sloan, but I’m not one of them. In fact, she and I decided to take our relationship to the next level. Hey, congratulations to you. You’re giving me your blessing. Yeah, no judgments. All right. I’ve just heard the rumors that Sloan is the one who tempered with the biscuits.

That’s exactly what they are. Brady rumors, I mean, take that from somebody who was a victim. Really, really. I know. I, I assume you’re okay now. It’s all right. It’s okay. I’m fine. What the hell was that like? Hard to remember. I don’t like to talk about it, but look at first, the first thing I was thinking that yes, I thought it was Sloan who tampered with the dough.

All right. But I am her alibi is all the reason why. I know she had nothing to do with it. All right, good, good. You know what, I’m just looking out for you, right? And I know you too, Brady. I know you’re not here to talk to me about Sloan. No, I’m not here to talk about Sloan. I’m here to talk about Chloe and how to keep that bastard Xander away from her.

All right. You can turn around now. Uh, I’m sorry, I, I should have called first. Oh no, actually is kind of unexpected, but I do have a small window of time. My zoom call with Jeff Bezos got pushed back. Oh, wow. Well, when you do speak to Jeff, give him my love. Of course. Um, so, uh, I, I wanted to give you, This, uh, though I’m not really sure where to put it.

Oh. Um, how about here? Ah, why didn’t I think of that? What’s one? Well, I had a hard time finding a card that said I’m, I’m sorry. I almost killed you without Dart. Thank you very much. But I am healing up nicely. I’m happy to report. That’s good. So how often are you changing that bandage? You’re supposed to change it.

Only if you don’t want it to get infected. Uh, okay. Not sit down. I’ll, I’ll do it. Really? Yeah. Well, it’s the least I can do after you save me from almost eating that drugged up skit. All right. Sorry if this hurts. Oh my goodness. Look at that thing. Oh, you’re such a man. Oh, I never had any complaints on that score before.

And promise me that you will change this regularly. Okay? Like every day, price, every day. I won’t able to do it as well as you. You’re regular Florence Nighting, aren’t you? Mm. Thanks. And you are not. A regular Mr. Clean. Ah, yeah. Sorry about that. I mean, if it’s the clothes on the floor you find offensive, you should know that they’re, they’re not all dirty.

Some of them I just haven’t folded yet. Ah, to be honest, Chloe, I’m starting to feel that this place is a bit of, uh, uh, pet not indicative of my current financial status. You know, I was busted when I moved in here. I’ve be saving up some money and I think I’m ready to finally start looking for a new place.

Mm. You and me both. You need someplace new. Yeah. Like yesterday,

every time I see Chloe Xander’s there just hovering, hanging around, playing darts with her, whatever, he’s obviously gunning for her, and the thing is, Chloe’s been hurt recently with some of the things that I’ve said. Happened to walk that tight rope with Rachel. She, she, she may be open to him. Does anything happen yet?

Nothing that I know of. Okay. Then take my advice. Don’t get all worked up for no good reason. All they could be doing is hanging out and throwing guards. Just like you said, you know Chloe, she’s smart and she’s gonna see right through Xander’s Act. See, that’s it. Nicole is a smart cookie as well, and she didn’t exactly see through Zander, Zach either, did she?

I guess you have a good point. Look, it’s nice of you worrying about my sister, but we knew going into this that the cops would suspect her. And I damn sure didn’t want them worrying about you, especially since you’ve put so much on the line.

Your lawyer may have pulled a rabbit out of her hat. But you are not off the hook. You listened to me, Sloan Peterson. You have lost and you will keep on losing and losing. So how about you’ll find something better to do with your time than trying to hurt me and my family trying to drag us to court to satisfy your sick need for revenge.

When my daughter and I, we have done nothing wrong. Do you hear me?

There is definitely no evidence tying someone to that. No Paulina’s office being trashed, right? Because thanks to you getting those keys, there was no forced entry and they can’t know anything else we did on Sloan either because she’s innocent. More importantly, she’s a damn good lawyer. She’s never gonna let them railroad her.

Yeah, but Colin, don’t you think we should probably tell her what we’ve been doing? No. No. That would make her an accessory yet. Plus she would never go for something like this. After she wasn’t able to nail Chanel and her mother in court, she had to pump the brakes. She would never risk a law license doing something illegal, which is when I had to step in.

Change the game. We need help. Of course,

Talia told you that she went straight home after dinner at Chanel’s Place the night before all this went down. Right? I remember, but I was there Rafe, she didn’t, she didn’t come home until hours later. You sure? She would be pretty hard to miss? I mean, we can’t even turn around that place without bumping into each other.

No. I mean, how do you know that it was the same night? Because I vividly remember it. It was when it was when you and I admitted that we have feelings for each other.

Hi.

Hey, Chanel, Alex. Hi. Hi. Did I read right? You’re engaged to Johnny Damara? Let me guess, lady Whistleblower. I was an spectator today. Is that not true? What is true is that Johnny and I both had my biscuits, which turned out to be tainted with hallucinogens and I told Leo owe that and not to make anything of it, but we all know to him the truth is just an irrelevant detail.

Right. So the creep does what he usually does and wrote whatever he thinks is gonna sell papers. Yeah. To the moron to actually read that crap. Oh, sorry, my, that didn’t come out the way I meant it. Nah, I think it did. Look, I know you’re still pissed off at me about everything that happened with Allie. Okay.

Another topic I don’t wanna talk about. Regardless, this whole thing, the drugging of the biscuits, it’s ridiculous and I truly feel for you, and I can only imagine what it’s doing to your business. No, it’s killing it. Which is exactly why your little girlfriend Sloan did it. Well, it’s not my girlfriend’s.

I mean, yeah, we hooked up, but that was over a long time ago. Well, maybe it shouldn’t be. What do you mean? Well, if you’re really sorry about what happened with Allie, make it up to me. Get SW back in your bed.

You want me to get Sloan back in my bed, boy, because you can sweet talk her like crazy and then screw a confession out of her.

Are you kidding me? Look, look, the, the cops keep saying that they don’t have any proof to prove that Sloane is the one that’s doing everything to me and my mom, even though it’s beyond obvious that it’s her and that doesn’t tell you anything. What it tells me is that someone outside of the PD needs to talk to her and that someone is you.

Look, all you gotta do is call her up, tell her how much you miss her, and then show her a good time. Ah, and then you can just steer, you know the pillow. Talk to biscuit though. And psychedelics. Hey. Yeah, look, Chanal, I mean this in the nicest way possible, but are you sure you’re not under the influence of some drug biscuits and psychedelics?

I feel for you. I really do. But you gotta forget about it because I’m not doing it. Oh, come on, Alex. Why not? It’s not like this is outta character for you. Oh, okay. Well, Aside from my general misgivings about this, I’m sort of hooking up with somebody else now. So when has that ever stopped? You just make it a threesome.

Y’all know you have experience with that. Ha on please, Alex. I would forgive you for everything that happened in the past. If you will, please just do whatever it takes to get me what I need to, to just to stop this nightmare with Sloan.

Connie. Everything’s gonna be okay. Trust me, you hold it right there. Shady missile toe. Uh, it’s lady whistleblower and I will not hold it right here or anywhere for the likes of you. You are such a bottom feeding hack, you know that. Oh, come on counselor. You can’t still be upset about that one little article I wrote about you ages ago.

Oh, you mean the one where you called me a psycho and, uh, accused me of going after Paulina Price? No. Shrugged it right off. Of course, I’m still mad at you. Well, first off, I’m not a hack. And second, the bottom happens to be where the good stuff is. Oh, I’m well aware. That’s why I stopped you just now, huh?

Mm. I figured you’d want some dirt for your next column. What kind of dirt? The police commissioner and his favorite new detective. Trust me, it practically writes itself. You forgot it was the same night. Hmm. Jose, we opened up to each other about our feelings. Yeah, I, I did. Right. Well, anyway, um, it was really awkward here, so I went straight home.

You know, the next day you were drugged from those biscuits. Yeah. Sorry, again about my behavior. It’s, it’s fine. Um, anyway, um, The point is I remember exactly what time it was, and I know for a fact that my sister did not come straight home from Paulina prices that night. Okay. Well, obviously you’re convinced that Talia isn’t telling us the truth, so what do you wanna do about it?

I don’t know, like getting involved in everything. It’s kind of the last thing I expected moving to New York. Right. But when we met, there was an immediate connection. At least for me anyway, um, I think putting my medical career on hold kind of proves that I felt it too. I’m gonna make this up to you, Talia.

I swear. Don’t worry, no one’s suspicious.

Who is it? It’s my sister.

I don’t know why she would be calling. I literally just left her. Let her go to voicemail. Maybe she’ll leave a message. No, I always answer her phone calls.

Hello? There you are. I was wondering why you weren’t picking up. Oh, sorry, my phone was buried in my bag. What’s up? Remember when we said we might need to clear some things up? After your interview, you wanna clear some things up? It just a small point. Something you said to the commissioner. Something I told the commissioner wasn’t clear.

It’s about when you got home the night before, uh, the issue with the biscuits and after you had dinner at Chanel’s. You said you went straight home, but I was home after dinnertime. And you weren’t? Yeah, right. Um, I had a headache and um, I went to the drugstore and I got aspirin, but that couldn’t have taken that long.

You’re right. Sorry, I must have forgotten. Um, I was late because I took a walk to the lake. I thought that the night air might help my headache. Well, I guess it did because when you got home, you didn’t mention it. All I wanted to do by then was just to go to sleep. Anything else? I think that’s about it.

Great. Talk to you later. Right on. I’m not so sure

something wrong. You could say that

the commissioner. Commissioner Hernandez, Mr. Straighten arrow, accent on the strait. Sadly, the very one, forget it. People read my column for dirt on people like you not Captain America. Oh, I mean, You don’t think that they would wanna read on Captain America as you put it? Hi on drugs and macing on his lead.

Detective, please tell me it is Detective Sean Brady. No, it was Jada Hunter. Ah, boring. Who cares about a little tongue between coworkers. That tongue flies right in face of Mayor Carver’s new fraternization policy. I thought that just meant they couldn’t be in the Elks or Shriners or something. What it means is that you could launch a campaign to get Mayor Carver to have to enforce his own policy against one of his greatest political allies and a close friend.

You could blow up the Mayor’s office and the Salem pd. I’d be like, Dustin Hoffman and Robert Redford put together. You’d be a real force in Salem. One to be reckoned with, feared, and you’d get exactly what you wanted. The two cops who were on your ass would be out on theirs perhaps. But most importantly, I just think everybody should know the truth, don’t you?

The thing is, when Nicole succumbeded to Xander’s Charmer, whatever you want to call it, she was settled with an arrogant. Self-absorbed neglectful husband. That would be, that would be me.

I don’t know. I think my situation with Chloe and me is a lot more like yours in Napoles than you think. More than I’d like to think. Meaning you call yourself a neglectful husband. I haven’t exactly been the best boyfriend either. Alright. Kristen and Rachel have been treating. Chloe liked dirt while I’ve just pretty much been sitting back and saying, Hey, Chloe, you’re gonna have to deal with it.

You know, why don’t just play this my way? Hey, let me tell you something. I wish somebody would’ve told me, forget Sandra, he’s not the problem. He’s a. Here’s a symptom. Yeah, I’m the problem.

Oh God. Dunno why you’re slow. You eager to move. I mean, Salem end’s great. Yeah, it’s a little too great, especially when the bill arrives and I’m outta work and I’m just, I’m running through my savings. But it’s more than that. I, so, Well, it’s an in, it’s a place you stay when you’re on your way somewhere else.

But I’m not going anywhere and I’m not going anywhere with Brady, certainly not with Rachel. I don’t have a job. I don’t have a life, and I just, I want something someplace. It’s yours. Yeah. But not that I can afford it, and to be honest, I’m, I’m just worried that I’m gonna end up in a place like this. So you need a place that’s a step down from where you live, and I need to step up and why don’t you take that step together.

You mean we can find a place together? Oh, Xander, that sounds horrifying. You know, I actually thought you’d sparked the idea. Okay. Well, you’ve just recently been nice to me and. Since I did dart you, I’m not gonna dwell on the fact that this place is a pigsty, but I’m gonna point out the obvious, which is you own a newspaper and I am basically broke.

So you wouldn’t wanna live in a place where I can afford half the rent. We wouldn’t, we wouldn’t split rent. We, I know you don’t have a job, so just make wherever we find look like I don’t live there, and we’ll call that REM for the time being. Oh. Sounds like you need a housekeeper, not a roommate, Chloe.

Um, look, one of the most irritating things about becoming your friend and getting to really like you, is I want to atone for what I did to you and a bunch of other people. So in that sense, you’d actually be doing me a favor if you allowed me to give a ma helping hand when she’s, as you say, Basically broke.

That’s Hannah. That’s it’s very sweet. I swear it’d be totally, completely platonic and, and this is very hard for me to say, but I will be neater, not just neater. How about cleaner? So we are now officially in negotiation.

You’re in sex. Therapy with allie’s. Grandma, it’s not sex therapy, it’s therapy. It’s not funny. All right. It’s a little bit funny. All right. Okay. And I know you got a million things you can throw on my face right now, and I’m sure it looks utterly ridiculous. Me telling you, no, you can’t ask me to use sex for nefarious purpose.

Well, we both know it wouldn’t be the first time. No, it would not here. You’re serious about this, aren’t you? Yeah, I am. After I started speaking to Dr. Evans, she’s starting to make me realize that, uh, I’m pretty screwed up and Chanel, as much as I would love to help you throw Sloan back in her cage, please do not ask me to sleep with her.

Or I’m gonna end up right back where I started.

Honey, you look so glm. Come on Talia. We were a great team. We totally dodged a bullet. No we didn’t. What do you mean? We were completely in sync? I was all like, and you said, oh, I just had to take a walk around the lake. What you said you were reading my mind. No, it was more like Jada was reading mine. My sister knows me, like the back of a book, Colin.

I don’t just forget things. I don’t get through med school by forgetting. What are you saying? I’m saying that my alibi that night can’t be, I just forgot that won’t fly. Especially since I came up with it after the fact. Then why didn’t you account for it in the first place?

I am sorry. Okay. I guess I just, just wasn’t thinking. Yeah. Yeah, you weren’t thinking, look, it’s just that they separated me and Chanel and I didn’t know what they were saying to her, what she said. And then I was dealing with the commissioner. Babe. Let’s just, my, my charm just didn’t work on him. Okay. No, no.

I, I get it. It’s just, this is really important to me cuz that bitch killed my mother. You, you do get that right? Uh, I thought so before I got here. But now, but now what? I don’t know Colin. I’m just confused. Okay. Cuz I actually know Paulina and Chanel now and hey, they seem like really nice people. They seem nice.

Talia, do you not know an act when you see one? I don’t think it was just an act. Okay. I, Chanel told me about everything that happened in London unless she told you. If she pushed my mother off a roof, then she did not tell you everything unless she told you that her rich mommy flew to London and paid for everything to be covered up.

Then she did not tell you everything.

I’m sorry. I I, I just, I get so worked up. This is obviously so triggering for me. Yeah, this is extremely. Important. Look, I know that. Okay. I do. I promise. I just need to ask you one thing. Yeah. Are you still on my side?

Jada was bothering him. This is vague, but it didn’t feel like I was talking to my sister. Alright, what can you figure out why Talia’s always a stream of consciousness all over the map, but there is these hesitations when she was answering my questions. Maybe she was just trying to remember. No, no.

Talia’s memory is scary. She remembers what she did for her 12th birthday party, but, but now she forgets that she had a headache and then she forgot that she walked around the lake. Wait, she said that? Yeah. Yeah. And she’s also the one who forgot to set the security systems. All this from someone who never forgets a thing.

All right, Jada, if this is too much, I can put you on another case. The department cannot ask, you cannot ask any officer to investigate their own. No, no. Thanks for the golfer, but it’s too late to back off now.

You need to have a little bit more faith in Chloe Xander. Yeah, he may be making a play for her, but she more than most knows exactly what he is capable of. You’re right. No, you’re right. After what that jerk put her through, I can’t imagine she would involve herself with him and she knows what he, what he did to Nicole and how much Nicole regretted getting involved with him.

Exactly. And Chloe’s not gonna let. Xander entered her life in any meaningful way. Yeah. No, you’re right. Whatever they, they hang out. They play darts. It’s not like they’re moving in together. Right.

Well, this place looks pretty promising, doesn’t it? Nice fuse. Plenty of immunities. I mean, it couldn’t do any harm to go look at it, right? I guess not. Let’s do those future room, lets find a place and move in together.

No more jokes about it, I promise. And for what it’s worth, I think it’s, you know, uh, brave they are going to therapy. I agree. Although I’m not really sure I wanna know. Who I really am

enough about me. You’re going through hell right now. Is there, like, how about I float you along? Something to just keep the business going until everything gets, you know, blown over. That is, that is very, very sweet of you. But I, I can get a loan from my mom and besides all the money in the world, can’t buy me back my customers.

But you know, as, as much as all this sucks on the bright side. You offer me a loan, which is like, so generous. And then my new employee, I, I told her that I couldn’t afford to pay her. And you know what she said? Hmm? She said that she would work for free. Wow. That’s amazing. She’s amazing. And you know, she’s, she’s only worked here for a short time, but it’s just like, like this whole thing has hit her just as hard as it’s hit me.

You can’t let Chanel and her mom get into your head. Okay. And babe, we have nothing to feel guilty about with a good gas here. Yeah, but maybe we should just back off a bit, you know? Give things time to just go away. No, we can’t do that. Have to keep, apply pressure. You just have to be really careful of what you say to your sister.

Yeah, yeah, of course. Bye. I should get going.

I need you. I can’t do any of this without you now. I love you, right?

I love you too. Here’s my girl.

Oh, hey, uh, you work at sleeps, right? I met you the other day, Talia. Yeah, that’s, that’s me. Hmm. Sweetness. Are you the one that sold her a tainted biscuit? I did, and I’m sorry. I’m really, I’m really sorry. Was that really necessary? I didn’t even eat the biscuit. That poor girl just works there. It’s not like it’s her fault.

I just keep thinking. My sister gets out of medical school, becomes a baker’s assistant in Salem. And as a doctor, she would have access to the drugs that were put in that dough. Okay, but why? Hm. She didn’t even know Chanel until she got here. They seemed to get along and well, she sure doesn’t seem like a disgruntled employee.

Yeah, she always told me that she loved that job. Okay, so what’s her motive? Hmm? Why would she decide to drug half the town? You know, you’re right. You’re right. It, it makes no sense. It has to be someone else, someone with a real motive. Which brings us back to Sloan Peterson. So the cops are all over you because of the sweet bit’s druggie incident.

Yeah. Especially because of the way you went after Paulina Price. Hmm. Look, I couldn’t break into Paulina’s office and I didn’t drug those bloody biscuits. And yet what better way to get the commissioner and his lead detective off your ass by getting them thrown off the force. Look, I saw those two with my own two eyes.

All you have to do is keep my name out of it and quote, anonymous source. You really think a column by me is gonna be enough to throw the investigation off track? Let’s find out, shall we?

Days of Our Lives Update

Update written by Joseph

Xander gets out of the shower and is surprised when Chloe shows up at his door.

Eric and Sloan eat together at the Brady Pub. Eric gets a text from Brady that he’s on his way as he needs to talk about something. Sloan says she will let them talk. Eric stops her and points out that she just wondered who would’ve drugged the biscuits if not Chanel. Sloan says she has a lot of enemies, so she should probably hire a private investigator or throw a wrench in to the police investigation. Brady then arrives and says he’s sorry as he didn’t know Eric was busy. Sloan says it’s fine as she was just leaving. Sloan tells Eric not to worry as she will figure everything out like she always does. Sloan kisses Eric goodbye and exits the Pub. Brady sits down and questions Eric and Sloan still being a thing. Eric confirms they are. Brady then remarks that everybody hates her.

Paulina remains at the Bakery, trying to entice customers with free samples. Chanel joins her and says it’s no use as people are too scared to taste their goods. Chanel complains that Sloan lost two court cases and won’t slow down, so since she can’t put her in jail, she’s trying to run her business in to the ground. Paulina assures that they won’t let that happen. Paulina suggests they go home to come up with a plan. Chanel says she can’t leave as she has to stay here and close up to get ready for tomorrow. Paulina offers to help but Chanel says she wants to do it herself so she can clear her head. Chanel adds that she sent Talia home to have some alone time. Paulina hugs her and says she’ll see her at home then. Chanel thanks her for trying to help. Paulina assures that she’s always there for her. Chanel then heads back inside the bakery.

Rafe questions Jada saying that what Talia said wasn’t true and asks if she lied to him. Jada says no as that would be assuming too much. Jada informs Rafe that something Talia said doesn’t line up with what really happened. Rafe says it’s obviously really bothering Jada so she needs to tell him what it is.

Talia arrives at the hotel room of a man, who says it’s about time as he brings her inside and they begin kissing. They say how much they missed each other. Talia apologizes for being late and says the police just wanted to question her again. The man questions why and asks if they are suspicious. Talia assures they are not at all and they just wanted to go over the timeline of when the biscuits got doctored. Talia insists that they have no idea that he is the one who put her up to it. He states that going after Chanel and her bakery was his idea, but argues that saying he put her up to it is kind of harsh. He asks if they are not in this together. Talia assures that they are and that she agreed to do this, but it’s a little hard when she’s the only one out there while he just has to lay low. He says it’s hard for him too and reveals himself to be Sloan’s brother, Colin, as he mentions that it was his mother that Chanel pushed off the roof. Talia apologizes for saying he put her up to it since she wanted to help him and she still does. He tells her how grateful he is and that he knows how much she’s done for him as they kiss. He notes her worried look again and asks what it is now. Talia responds that it’s not just about her but Sloan because the police are going after her as their number one suspect and she has no idea that her own brother is behind what happened.

Eric acknowledges that a lot of people do hate Sloan, but he’s not one of them and they decided to take their relationship to the next level. Brady congratulates him and says he’s just heard the rumors that Sloan tampered with the biscuits. Eric assures that they are just rumors since he was one of the victims. Brady is surprised and asks what the hell that was like. Eric claims it was hard to remember and he doesn’t like to talk about it. Eric admits at first he thought Sloan tampered with the dough, but he is his alibi which is why he knows she had nothing to do with it. Brady says he’s just looking out for him. Eric knows he’s not here to talk about Sloan. Brady admits he came to talk about Chloe and how to keep that bastard Xander away from her.

Chloe turns away until Xander puts his pants on. Chloe apologizes for not calling first. Xander calls it unexpected but says he does have a small window of time since his zoom call with Jack got pushed back. Chloe says to send her lvove when he speaks to Jack. Chloe adds that she brought him a plant since she had a hard time finding a card that said sorry for almost killing him with a dart. Xander thanks her and says he’s healing nicely. Chloe questions him about changing the bandage which he hasn’t done. Chloe offers to change it for him since he saved her from the drugged biscuits. Chloe tells Xander to change the bandage every day which he promises to do. Xander jokes that he won’t do it as good as her. They talk about his room not being the cleanest. Xander says the place is no longer indicative of his financial status since he was broke when he moved in. Xander notes that he’s been saving up some money, so he thinks he’s finally ready to move in to a new place. Chloe says she also needs a new place.

Brady tells Eric that every time he sees Chloe, Xander is there, hovering around, playing darts, and obviously gunning for her. Brady complains that Chloe has been hurt recently by things he’s said so she may be open to Xander. Eric asks if anything has happened yet. Brady says not that he knows of. Eric advises him not to get worked up for no reason since they could just be hanging out. Eric encourages that Chloe is smart and will see right through Xander’s act. Brady brings up that Nicole is smart as well and didn’t exactly see through Xander’s act either. Eric admits he has a good point.

Colin tells Talia that it’s nice of her to worry about his sister, but they knew going in that the cops would suspect Sloan and he damn sure didn’t want them worrying about Talia since she put so much on the line. Talia thinks back to walking through the town square while Paulina and Chanel were arguing with Sloan which is when she stole Paulina’s keys from her purse. Talia assures Colin that there is no evidence linking Sloan since she stole the keys to trash Paulina’s office, so there was no forced entry. Colin adds that they can’t know anything else because Sloan is innocent and a damn good lawyer so she won’t let them railroad her. Talia thinks they should probably tell Sloan what they are doing but Colin says no because that would make her an accessory and she would never go for something like this. Colin adds that Sloan had to pump the brakes after losing the court case to Paulina and Chanel as she would never risk her law license by doing something illegal which is why they had to step in and change the game.

Jada goes over that Talia told Rafe that she went straight home after leaving Paulina’s place after all this went down, but she didn’t because Jada was there and Talia didn’t come home until hours later. Rafe asks how she knows it was the same night. Jada says she vividly remembers because it was when she and Rafe admitted they had feelings for each other.

Chanel leaves the Bakery and runs in to Alex in the town square. Alex asks if he read right in the Spectator that Chanel is engaged to Johnny DiMera. Chanel explains that she and Johnny had her breakfast biscuits which were tainted with a hallucinogen and she told Leo that, but to him the truth is just an irrelevant detail. Alex guesses Leo just wrote whatever he thinks will sell papers. Chanel adds that is to the morons who actually read it. Alex says he knows she’s still pissed at him over everything that happened with Allie. Chanel calls that another topic she doesn’t want to talk about. Alex says the whole thing with drugging the biscuits is ridiculous and he feels for her as he can only imagine what it’s doing to her business. Chanel admits it’s killing it which is exactly why his little girlfriend Sloan did it. Alex clarifies that she is not his girlfriend and that they only hooked up but that was over a long time ago. Chanel then suggests maybe it shouldn’t be over as if he’s really sorry about what happened with Allie, he can make it up to her by getting Sloan back in his bed. Alex questions why she wants that. Chanel explains that he can sweet talk her like crazy and then screw a confession out of her. Alex asks if she’s kidding. Chanel complains that the cops keep saying they don’t have proof that Sloan is doing these things to her and Paulina when it’s obvious it’s her which means someone outside of the police needs to talk to her and that is Alex. Chanel suggests he just call Sloan, tell her he misses her, then show her a good time and steer the conversation. Alex asks if she’s under the influence. Alex tells Chanel that he does feel for her but he’s not doing it. Chanel questions why not, arguing that it’s not out of character for him. Alex informs her that he’s sort of hooking up with somebody else now. Chanel asks when that’s ever stopped him and suggests he just make it a threesome since they know he has experience with that. Chanel begs Alex and says she would forgive him for everything in the past if he would just do whatever it takes to get her what she needs and stop this nightmare with Sloan.

Sloan finishes leaving a message outside the Pub, assuring her brother Colin that everything is going to be okay. She then turns and spots Leo. She calls him a bottom feeding hack. Leo argues that she can’t still be upset about the article he wrote about her ages ago. Sloan assures that she is and then informs Leo that she has some dirt for his next column. Sloan tells Leo that it’s about the police commissioner and his trusty detective, saying it practically writes itself.

Jada questions if Rafe forgot it was the same night that they opened up about their feelings. Rafe admits that he did. Jada explains that it was awkward, so she went straight home and the next day, Rafe was drugged by the biscuits. Rafe apologizes again for his behavior. Jada says it’s fine and the point is, she remembers exactly what time it was so she knows for a fact that Talia did not come straight home from Paulina’s. Rafe states that Jada is obviously convinced that Talia is not telling them the truth, so he asks what she wants to do about it.

Talia admits to Colin that getting involved in everything was the last thing she expected when moving to New York. Colin says when they met, there was an immediate connection. Talia thinks putting her medical career on hold proves she felt it too. Colin assures that he will make it up to her and that no one is suspicious. Talia’s phone then rings with a call from Jada. Talia doesn’t know why she would be calling when she just left her. Colin suggests letting it go to voicemail but Talia argues that she always answers her phone calls. Talia then answers and asks Jada what’s up. Jada reminds her that she said they might need to clear things up after her interview which Talia questions. Colin has Talia put the call on speaker phone as Jada explains that it’s about something Talia said as she said she went straight home after leaving Paulina’s, but she wasn’t home. Talia claims that she had a headache, so she went to the drug store and got aspirin. Jada questions it taking that long. Talia then claims she took a walk to the lake, thinking the night air might help her headache. Jada guesses it did since she never mentioned it. Talia says she just wanted to go to sleep when she got home and asks if there’s anything else. Jada thinks that’s about it so Talia says she’ll talk to her later and quickly hangs up. Rafe asks Jada if something is wrong. Jada says he could say that.

Leo questions Sloan saying she has dirt on Rafe, who he refers to as Captain America. Leo argues that people read his column for dirt on people like Sloan, not Rafe. Sloan asks if he doesn’t think people would be interested in Rafe being high on drugs and macking on his lead detective. Leo hopes she means Shawn but Sloan clarifies that it’s Jada. Leo then asks who cares about a little action between co-workers. Sloan explains that it flies right in the face of Abe’s new policy which means he could launch a campaign to get Abe to have to enforce his own policy, so he could blow up the mayor’s office and the Salem police department. Sloan states that Leo would be a force to be reckoned with in Salem. Leo acknowledges that Sloan would also get what she wants as the two cops on her ass would be out on their own. Sloan says most importantly, she just thinks everyone should know the truth.

Eric tells Brady that when Nicole succumbed to Xander, she was saddled with an arrogant, self-absorbed and neglectful husband in himself. Brady thinks his situation with Chloe is a lot more like Eric and Nicole than they think. Brady says he hasn’t been the best boyfriend while Kristen and Rachel treated Chloe like dirt as he basically told her to deal with it. Eric advises Brady to forget Xander and says he’s not the problem, but a symptom. Brady then declares that he is the problem.

Xander doesn’t know why Chloe is so eager to move and says the Salem Inn is great. Chloe complains about the bill and she’s out of work while running through her savings but adds that it’s more than that. Chloe argues that an inn is a place you stay when on you’re way to somewhere else and she’s not, with Brady or Rachel. Chloe repeats that she doesn’t have a job or a life and she just wants a place that belongs to her. Chloe adds that she can’t afford it, so she’s worried about ending up in a place like this. Xander points out that Chloe needs a place that is a step down from where she lives while he needs a step up, so he suggests they take that step together and find a place together. Chloe responds that it sounds horrifying. Xander thought she sparked the idea. Chloe points out that he’s only recently been nice to her but he owns a newspaper while she wouldn’t be able to afford half the rent. Xander explains that they won’t split rent and offers to let Chloe keep the place clean in place of rent for the time being. Chloe remarks that it sounds like he needs a housekeeper, not a roommate. Xander says that one of the most irritating things about becoming friends with her and liking her is wanting to atone for what he did in the past. Xander adds that Chloe would be helping him by allowing him to lend a hand to a friend who is broke. Chloe tells Xander that it’s sweet. Xander swears it would be completely platonic and he will be neater. Xander asks if they are officially in negotiations.

Chanel laughs at Alex being in sex therapy with Allie’s grandma. Alex says it’s just therapy and not funny, then admits it’s a little funny. Alex knows she has a million things she could throw in his face and he knows it’s ridiculous that he’s saying no to using sex for nefarious purposes. Chanel realizes he’s serious about this. Alex explains that Marlena is starting to make him realize that he’s pretty screwed up. Alex adds that he would love to help her throw Sloan back in her cage, but he cannot sleep with her or he’ll end up right back where he started.

Colin tells Talia that they are a great team and totally dodged a bullet. Talia disagrees and argues that Jada knows her, so her alibi being that she just forgot won’t fly. Talia apologizes and says she wasn’t thinking. Talia complains that they separated her and Chanel, so she didn’t know what she said and she was dealing with the police commissioner. Colin gets it but says it’s just really important to him because that bitch killed his mother. Talia says she thought so, but now she’s confused because she knows Paulina and Chanel and they seem like really nice people. Colin calls it an act. Talia doesn’t think so because Chanel told her about everything in London. Colin complains that unless Chanel told her about pushing his mom off the roof and that Paulina flew over to cover it all up, then she did not tell her everything. Colin then apologizes for getting so worked up as this is so triggering for him. Colin calls it extremely important. Talia promises that she knows that. Colin asks Talia if she is still on his side.

Rafe asks Jada what is bothering her. Jada says it’s vague but it didn’t feel like she was talking to her sister. Rafe asks if she can figure out why. Jada says that Talia is always a stream of consciousness all over the map but this was like she was hesitating to answer her questions. Rafe suggests maybe she was just trying to remember but Jada states that Talia’s memory is scary as she can remember what she did for her 12th birthday. Jada questions Talia now forgetting that she had a headache and a walk around the lake. Jada adds that Talia also forgot to turn on the security cameras. Rafe tells Jada that if this is too much, he can have her put on another case because the department cannot ask any officer to investigate their own. Jada thanks him but says it’s too late to back off now.

Eric encourages Brady to have a little more faith in Chloe. Eric states that Xander may make a play for her but Chloe knows exactly what he’s capable of. Brady can’t imagine Chloe would involve herself with Xander after what he put her through. Eric adds that Chloe also knows what Xander did to Nicole and assures that Chloe won’t let Xander enter her life in any meaningful way. Brady agrees and remarks that Chloe and Xander hang out and play darts but it’s not like they are moving in together…

Xander and Chloe look at potential places to live. Xander says it won’t hurt to go look and suggests they find a place to move in together.

Chanel promises Alex that she won’t make any more jokes and calls it brave that he’s going to therapy. Alex agrees though he’s not sure he wants to know who he really is. Alex says that’s enough about him when Chanel is going through Hell. Alex offers to give Chanel a loan to help her while her business is down. Chanel says that’s sweet of him but she could get a loan from her mother if she needed. Chanel adds that all the money in the world can’t buy her back her customers. Chanel says as much as all of this sucks, Alex offering her a loan is generous and her new employee offered to work for free. Chanel talks up Talia as being amazing and says she’s only worked here a short time, but it’s like this whole thing has hit Talia just as much as it’s hit her.

Colin tells Talia that she can’t let Chanel and Paulina get in her head. Colin adds that they have nothing to feel guilty about and they are the good guys here. Talia suggests maybe they should back off a bit and give things time to go away. Colin argues that they can’t do that and they have to keep applying pressure. Colin says that Talia will just have to be really careful of what she says to her sister. Talia decides she should get going. Colin tells Talia that he needs her as he can’t do any of this without her. Colin tells Talia that he loves her and kisses her. Talia says she loves him too and then exits. Talia then runs in to Chloe and Xander in the hall. Chloe recognizes Talia from the bakery. Xander asks if she’s the one who sold Chloe a tained biscuit. Talia says she did and she’s sorry. Talia repeats that she’s really sorry and hurries off. Chloe asks Xander if that was really necessary since she didn’t even eat the biscuit. Chloe remarks that Talia just works there so it’s not like it’s her fault…

Jada tells Rafe that she just keeps thinking about how Talia gets out of medical school and then becomes a baker in Salem. Jada adds that as a doctor, Talia would have access to the drugs that were put in the dough. Rafe asks why when Talia didn’t even know Chanel until she got here and they seem to get along. Rafe adds that she doesn’t seem like a disgruntled employee. Jada confirms that Talia always said she loves the job. Rafe questions what Talia’s motive would be then and why she would decide to drug half the town. Jada agrees that it makes no sense, so it has to be someone else with a real motive which brings them back to Sloan.

Leo asks Sloan about the cops being all over her because of how she’s been all over Paulina. Sloan insists that she didn’t trash Paulina’s office or drug the biscuits. Leo asks what better way to get the cops off her ass by getting Rafe and Jada off the force. Sloan argues that she saw them with her own eyes so all Leo has to do is keep her name out of it and quote an anonymous source. Leo questions if she really thinks a column by him will be enough to throw the investigation off track. Sloan suggests they should find out.
