THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

I thought you were gonna sleep day away. Oh, who saw? Is that Mr. Keeping me up all night? Hmm. So you enjoyed your new bed and your new room. And your new room. Well, can you tell, I mean, it is a new bed and then new room, but it’s not a new home. We, we lived here once upon a time as husband and wife. I remember.

I do. It’s the happiest time of my life and now you’re back here where you belong. Pretty soon, your divorce from Lee will be final and we’ll be back to being Mr. And Mrs. Steph and Damara again forever. This time. For now, do you think we completely press in the place? No, no. I think we could go for another minute.

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

You haven’t touched your breakfast

penny for your thoughts.

You haven’t even touched your breakfast. No appetite. You’re still thinking about Polly’s rant last night, aren’t you? I mean, how can I not God, Eric, it seems like every time something awful happens in this town, I’m the one that’s getting blamed for it. It’s so unfair. It is. I know,

I know. You know, I’m sorry. I should be focusing on the positive, you know, like you and I are officially a thing now. You sing. Sounds so official To hell with everything else, Eric, Brady and I are officially thanks. Hey, I, I already feel better. Good.

Are you sure you want to eat that? Sloan? What? I’d expect retaliation if I were you after drugging all of Salem’s breakfast, including mine.

Hi.

Sorry, it’s just, um, no, no, I, I understand, but I promise I am not hallucinating anymore. I even skip breakfast just to be sure. I am not happy with you two. I’m not happy at all. I dunno what, what’s wrong? Am uh, please tell me that Sloane Peterson didn’t go public with what she saw. Not that I know of. And I don’t give a damn about that kiss that happened between the two of you when you were hallucinating or whatever.

What I do give a damn about is there has been no arrest. In this insane drugging debacle, you know, the only person that’s paid a price is my stepdaughter, whose career is in jeopardy. So what is the hold up? Why the hell is Sloan Peterson still walking the streets?

Really? No one, and we can’t even give this stuff away. People see me standing here smiling, and then they just turn, tell and run. Even old Mrs. Weaver, who is always here bright and early every morning, you know, I’m so sorry. Those breakfast biscuits were my recipe. I feel terrible. Why? It’s not your fault.

It’s not like you drug those biscuits. What are you feeling guilty about?

Morning girl. Morning mama. I have a bearclaw. On the house.

Maybe I’m not in, in the mood for a BigLaw. Not in the mood. Since when have you ever not been in the mama? Not you too.

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

Remember you said that to me earlier, Patty, for your thoughts. Ej, this is where you, this is where you jump in. Sorry. I, um, honey, is, is something bothering you?

I’m just a little tired. I mean, Aren you, after all that racket coming from Stefan’s room last night. Oh yeah. That was quite a performance and I’d say Act three was a bit unnecessary. Yeah, that’s, that’s the problem. Those noises weren’t a performance, not this time. It was all too real. A bloody siren call to troubled waters.

You think they heard us downstairs? I think they heard us in Cat Mando. But who cares? Not me. I love you. I love you. I can stay with you like this all day. Yeah. Mm-hmm. What are you doing the rest of the year wide open. We both know we do some pretty important plans today. We certainly do. Yeah.

Please. You know, It’s one thing for Paulina Price who’s totally ignorant to how the law works to make an accusation with absolutely no proof whatsoever, but it is unseemly, if not despicable and unethical for someone with a law degree to do the same. I assume you do have a law degree in Melinda. Yeah, and I also have a brain, which is why I deduce that you are the only person that hates Chanel Dupree enough to want to kill her business.

And don’t even get started on these conspiracy theories that her and her mother are masterminding a frame up because both of us know that that is patently ridiculous. Ms. Trask, if you don’t mind, I believe that Sloan pointed out that you have no evidence to prove that she ever tampered with the biscuits, which means this is heading towards slander.

Would I be correct, Sloan? Oh, this is not slander Mr. Brady. It is personal, you see, because I was also drug by whatever the hell was in those biscuits. I ended up assaulting Stephan Damira and I wound up spending the night in the hospital. And do you know who was in the room? Across from me, the police commissioner.

Oh. How awful for you. I’m so sorry, but why should I give a damn? Since I had nothing to do with this? Here’s why you should give a damn Ms. Peterson. You have caught the wrong people in your net, powerful people who do not like being screwed with. So get your affairs in order because I am going to make sure that you go down for this and you will go away for a long, long time.

We don’t have the evidence that we need to tie Sloan to any of this. Oh, no fingerprints. No, no security footage. Oh, detective Hunter interviewed Chanel and Talia, her new employee. Your sister? Yes. Yeah, who accidentally left the security camera off. She’s still new with the job.

And Sloan Peterson is still walking streets. With all due respect, Mr. Mayer, we can’t even be sure that Sloan was the perp. We checked the security cameras this morning. There is no way that anyone could have tampered with these. Baby. I, I’m so sorry. It’s, it’s just with everyone is sale. I’m so worried about being drugged.

Suddenly got got a little worried myself because I know that was a one-time awful thing that you and Talia had nothing to do with. Uh, so gimme that delicious beer claw. In fact, gimme a whole tray of ’em. I’ll show you how much I support you. You know not to mention how much I love Sweet Fit, and it’s the finest bakery on the planet.

Oh Mama. It’s okay. Look, you don’t need to prove anything to me or Talia. We both know that you’re on our side. It’s just I’m feeling a little sensitive this morning because Sweet Bids business is doing really bad for the first time ever, and. Well, we all know who’s to blame that evil. Sloan Peterson, she came to Salem to ruin me, and she thinks I took her mother’s life.

And that isn’t news. But what is news is she’s succeeding. Her plan to destroy me is going real, real well. Oh,

Oh, look after me baby girl. I will not stand idly by while Sloane continues her heinous attacks on us. On your business, on decency itself, and I swear to you, should now mommy your phone. Oh, it can wait. No, no, mom, it’s okay. Just take it. It’s not like I’m going anywhere. Okay, honey, but I’ll be right back.

I love my mama and trust me, she can move mountains when she puts her mind to it. But it’s not like she can single handedly convince everyone to trust our treats. Talia, I I don’t think I’m gonna be able to keep you on. Hey, don’t worry about me right now. Okay. Listen, I’ll be fine and so will you. And yes, unfortunately people are worried about what sweetest has to offer.

But it’s gonna make eight grand recovery. I know it. Okay. And it’s gonna be better than ever. Come on, you’ll see. I appreciate your optimism, but I don’t know. I look, I, I still think you should keep your options open. Okay. So I, Hey, I, I can reach out to my friend trip and I, I can see if he could put in a word for you at the hospital.

No, you’re a doctor after all. No, listen, I’m a baker now. This is where I belong. Look, I, I, I don’t think you’re hearing me. Okay. There is zero money coming in. You can’t work for free. Sure, I can. Why would you do that? Because I believe in you. Look, I know that I’m new to all of this. What Chanel working here with you?

I don’t know. It just, it all seems right, like it was like sort of meant to be or something. You know? How tall you, you’re the best.

Are you saying that you believe that Sloan is innocent? Mr. Mayor, as you know, we don’t have any definitive evidence and until we do. Is my job as an investigator to study all of the facts and keep an open mind. I’m with my detective here. Hey, is it possible that maybe, maybe you’re too close to this, could be, um, clouding your judgment?

Maybe it is because it is personal, deeply personal. Hmm. I love my family and I love this town, and right now both are under attack. You can spew your grandiose threats all you want on Melinda, but you know damn well that if these Salem Keystone cops actually had anything on me, I’d be in custody. Not necessarily, and since it’s fairly obvious that this crime was committed on the night before, everyone was tripping on those biscuits.

You’d better start inventing your alibi for saided night. She doesn’t have to invent one because she was with me all night. Yeah. Well, you better hope someone can corroborate that Ms. Trask in order for somebody to corroborate that. That means they would have to have been there. Sloan and I are not into that kind of thing.

When we spend the night together. We like just to be two of us together and what a wonderful night it was.

This, this is preposterous Stephan moving Gabby back into my family home without consulting me acting like it’s his God-given, right? I should start eviction proceedings. Oh, you’re forgetting one thing, brother. You see my name’s on the deed, seeing as I own the place before I was shot, before you came skulking back into town.

Stephen bakes an excellent point and I must say it feels wonderful to be back home where I belong. Hmm. Hungry Sweetss. Mm-hmm. And you know, we gotta keep our strength up. Mm-hmm Mm. It is such a beautiful day already. Sun shining already outside. Weather’s perfect. Perfect. Inside too. They say it’s going to get cloudy later.

That could be a possible storm. Is that so? What a shame. Wouldn’t want to get caught in it. What is that supposed to mean? Hmm hmm. Better time babe. Better get to work. Don’t wanna be late. I’m, uh, heading that way myself. I’m sure Nicole and Gabby can hold the fort in our absence. No, Nicole can. Excuse me.

Yes. See, Gabby is coming with us because I hired her.

You hired Gabby? I did. I’m sorry. I meant to mention that to you. Must have slipped my mind. Mm-hmm. It also must have slipped your mind to run it by me, but now that you have, you can go ahead and fire her. Oh no, you wouldn’t do that, Sam, me. Now would you sweetheart? Oh, of course not, darling. Well, I guess it forced to me then.

Gabby, you’re fired. Gabby, you’re rehire Stephan as coce. I’m sure you’re aware of the bylaws in regards to hr. But let me refresh your memory just in case every executive level hire must be approved by the C E O in our case, both c e o. Hmm. Well, I do know those bylaws inside and out. So you’ll be relieved to hear Gabby’s not coming on as an executive.

Oh, well then congratulations Gabby. You must be joining the custodial staff. Oh, wow. Uh, no, actually she’ll be a consultant and obviously I don’t need you to cosign on that. No, of course Nazi, we consulted on that and he’s absolutely right. It’s a man ej. Looks like he got caught in the rain.

Why so quiet Melinda? Trying to figure out how you’re gonna put an ex priest in front of a jury and accuse him of lying. Oh, I would love to sit front, row and center for that. You’ll have a front row seat. All right, and perhaps I’ll remind the jury that this ex priest posed illegally as a paralegal to interfere with a police investigation.

I seem to remember that you weren’t so happy about that. How things have changed. If you’re done with your empty threats, you can go now. My boyfriend and I would like to enjoy our breakfast alone in peace.

Hey, thanks for having my back. You didn’t really need me. You did great. Come on. What’s wrong? You know and recognize bluster when you see it. I know I came off all like big and confident and oh, seems like I can prove my innocence here. But Eric, I’m honestly, I’m terrified. I’m terrified that, that they’re coming from man, that they’re not gonna miss.

Seems to me the trick here, nailing down exactly when those biscuits got docked. You know, I was thinking the same thing. The more we can nail it down, the more we can start eliminating suspects. Yeah. And zeroing in on the purp. No time like the present. What are you calling? Well figured. If we’re gonna go back to the beginning, we might as well start with the source.

Oh, step right up folks. Best pastries in town. Buy a long shot. Hey, you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You, yeah. Buy muffin a cookie, something. Okay, mama. It’s okay. We, we probably shouldn’t sound too desperate. Oh. It’s Jada. Hey, did you arrest her? No. Did you arrest Sloane Peterson? I’m sorry, Chanel. The investigation is still ongoing, which is why I like to go over everything with you again, people, I already told you everything that I know, which unfortunately isn’t much, but yeah.

Right. Oh, okay. No, I, I get it. Right. No problem. Do you have to go to the station? Yeah, I do. And they want you there too?

A consultant for one thing. We have no need for a consultant. Oh, see, that’s where you’re wrong. We have a very urgent need for a consultant and with Gabby’s energy and intelligence and incredible work ethic. Don’t forget that. That too, I am hoping she can assist us in building a well-oiled machine of a company that will help rid us of as much waste and any efficiency is possible.

Yeah, and I just can’t wait to dive right in. Great. So as any good evaluation starts at the top to your brother, Gabby’s first order of business will be to evaluate you.

You want to evaluate me? Mm-hmm.

If there are any inefficiencies at the top brother, it certainly doesn’t stem from me. Well, I’ve been focusing on the day-to-day at the company. You have been wasting valuable time and manpower, plotting and scheming to divert LE’s shares to our new consultant here. Come to think of it, I may need a consultant on my own to look into how you, Stephan, have been dragging us down.

What do you say, Nicole? Are you interested in the consultant position? Oh, uh, well, I have a job. A basic black, a treasure division for sure, and you have served us very well there. But at Basic Black, you are off on your own with Brady working remotely like a satellite, orbiting the mothership. Why don’t you come on board and join us here at the Mira Enterprises right by my side where we can make great use of your considerable talents.

Wow is a bit sudden. But of course I accept excellent. Looks like it’s going to be one big happy family of corporate headquarters. From now on,

ah, free samples. Get your delicious. Just breakfast treats now before they’re all gone. Well, are you changing careers? No. Well, this is, this is off abortion now. Oh. Sloan’s attacks have have hit up business harder than we could have imagined. Mm. Oh, you know what? Here, here you try one. Maybe it’ll help, but the people see the Marin, I think.

Uh, hey.

It’s delicious. It’s delicious. It’s delicious. It is mouthwatering. It is the perfect way to start your day. Haha. How’s that? Perfect. Oh, but um, see, see what I mean. No one. No. Mm-hmm. You know, that’s a shame. Where, where, where is Chanel? Oh, Rayen Jada asked her to go to police station with Talia. They didn’t wanna go over everything that happened before those biscuits got tainted and maybe find that needle in the haystack.

They missed the first time around, but on stage you are gonna play because you are a pro. Well, thanks for coming back in. No problem. All right. Everybody doesn’t the big a lot of trouble. If you would just arrest the woman who did this. If the evidence leaves us alone, we will do just that. Chanel, why don’t you stay here and, oh, wait, you talking to a second?

Well, we just wanna get an account from both of you so we can compare notes. Now it’s better to do that separately.

I.

All right. Thanks again for coming in. Sure. But as like I said, I already told you everything I know. I realize that. But if you could pretend that you haven’t told me everything you know, and tell me again in as much detail as possible, the winds and the wearers, starting with the preparation of the dough, the night you bake those biscuits up until the following morning.

Okay, well let’s see the preparation that night. Well, it was tall, his recipe, so I know this is kind of intense, but it’s just routine. Okay. Promise I’m not gonna shut to bright. Lighten your eyes or bark any questions at ya. Don’t need to be nervous. Well, I thank you, but um, I’m actually not nervous at all.

I’m just here to help however I can so you can nail the person who’s doing this to my friend Chanel. She’s trying to ruin her business and her life.

All the ingredients were delivered by our regular supplier that afternoon. Uh, it would be, um, whole wheat flour, baking powder, salt, yogurt, honey butter, and buttermilk. Okay. So they couldn’t have been tampered with before you got to work? No. If, if something was off with them, then I would’ve known. And you didn’t stray from Talia’s recipe?

No, not at all. It’s a great recipe. Well, normally it is. We made a lot of those biscuits. I mean, it’s a new item and we were giving away free samples. Um, anyways, when we were done with the dough, um, we set it aside to rest, and then we close a little early for the day. Since we’re usually busiest in the morning, in the afternoon, things slow down.

How early did you close. What time? Uh, about four Talia and I said goodbye. We went our separate ways and then I went home to my mama’s and then I came to the police station and I talked to you. That’s right. Yep. You were looking for your sister and I was maybe a little too pushy. I mean, talking to you about her, you know your possible feelings towards her.

I remember. Yeah. Yeah. But let’s stick to the topic at hand, shall we? So where’d you go after you left here? Oh, um, I went back to the square. I wound up going back to the square so that I could grab dinner from me and my mama from the bistro. And before I left, mama told me about Sloan’s threatening text, and I was angry.

Really, really angry. Horrified, actually. And then I ran into Sloan and I actually got there just in time because Sloan and Chano were having this. Knocked down, drag out fight and I had to stop him. Sloane was saying all sorts of like cruel things about Chanel and her mom, and then she stormed off. Chanel was actually very, very upset.

She made a cut on her arm. I just tried to calm her down. So we went back to Sweet Bitch. There is a first aid kit in the kitchen, TAA patch me up and the dough, it was still there resting. Untouched and we turned off the security system when we went back in so no one could have gotten in there before then.

And um, when we were done, Chanel asked if I wanted to have dinner with her and her family. I guess I was just really excited about that. It was such a nice invitation and I really wasn’t expecting it. So, um, I forgot to just turn an alarm back on. You were excited. Chanel’s a new friend. That’s exciting, right?

Sure. Yeah. And you forgot to turn the alarm on? Yes. Um, she even asked me to do it, but I guess I just wasn’t thinking. And what time was that at? Uh, probably 15 after five, somewhere around there. And you returned to work when? Five the next morning. So roughly 12 hours unaccounted for. Ado just sitting there in the kitchen with no alarm set and no security camera on, which is all my fault.

I, I, I, I really can’t believe I forgot. This is not Holly’s fault. I mean, it’s not like she’s in the habit of turning on the security system, you know, she hasn’t even been working there that long. Right? So later at your place, nothing to tell. We had takeout from the bistro and just sat around the table talking, listen, nice evening.

And then I went straight home to rest up for the next morning. Well, you know the rest, it was a disaster.

Thanks again, ladies. We appreciate your cooperation. Yeah, I just hope this helps nail Sloan and that she’s locked away for good. She’s the only one who could have done this. Yeah, I agree. I can’t think of anybody else who would wanna hurt Chanel like this. Well, I’ll see you at home later. Um, hey, uh, you don’t have to come back with me.

I’m just gonna go and lock up for the day or for the rest of our lives. Chanel, stop. Don’t say that. Okay. The customers will come back. I know it. We’ll see.

Hi. Were they here? Is there a new development of Shanova? Just going over the timeline. There’s a 12 hour window when those biscuits could have been tampered with. Well, you got your work cut out for you. I just saw Sloan and she’s got a solid alibi for the night before Eric Brady. He spent the night with her.

She could have slipped out during the night while he was asleep. No villa proven it. Any other suspects we’re working on it.

Hey, ugh. It’s a hell of a way to start a day. Don’t let trash get underneath your skin. You got the truth on your side. You would be shocked how little that actually matters. I didn’t drug that dough, though it wasn’t me. Someone did. Someone drugged it and made everyone in this town go totally nuts, including you and Nicole.

Well, well, well, Mr. Damira, you outdid yourself. Oh, I’m glad you approved. Oh, not only approved, I was impressed as I was with you. I put you on the spot there, but I knew I could count on you. Mm-hmm.

Ready to go beam up to the mothership. Excuse me. Oh, I’m just messing with you brother. Figured we could carpool though. No more the merrier. Right? You can drive. Oh, I intend to brother. Let’s do this.

I dunno if we could only think of someone else who could have done this. I mean, who else has it in for Chanel, that’s a tough one. Since everybody in this town seems to just love that girl and her mother. Melinda did make one good point though. I mean, at first I thought for sure it was Paulina and Chanel that were doing this, but why would they hurt Chanel’s business by drugging half the city just to get at me?

No. Well, no, it wouldn’t be worth it. You’re right. So if we’re gonna figure this out, we need a first thing. Who was the intended target exactly. Was it Chanel or was it me and I have 5:15 PM as the time they left Sweet bits for the last time that day without setting the security cameras check. Yeah, the rest was pretty inconsequential.

They both had dinner with Pauline and Abe. Yeah, I got that too. Yep. And then your sister went straight home after that. Chanel stayed behind and they didn’t see each other till 5:00 AM the next morning. So check out, huh? Oh yeah. 5:00 AM Yep. Got it. Wait, what did you just say?

Thanks for watching everything. Oh, it was no problem, baby girl. Well, uh, you are officially relieved of duty. I’m just gonna close up for the day. Well, how’d it go at the station? I’ll fill you in later. All I can think about right now is I’m gonna lose my bakery. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. You are not. I will not let that happen.

No. It’s gonna be okay, sweetheart. I promise you. No, mama. It’s not. Yes, yes, daughter. It is. And I’m going to convince you of it tonight. Mm-hmm. Over a wonderful meal, which I will cook for you and Talia, and we’ll have a lovely meal and then we’ll figure out how to get your business up and running again.

That is really sweet. But I already sent Talia home. For the day.

I don’t understand. All I did was ask you what happened after Chanel and Talia left sweet bits, and you not only haven’t answered, you seem kind of upset. What’s up, Jada? I just realized.

Natalia told you is not true.

Update written by Joseph

Gabi and Stefan wake up in bed together. They talk about how they used to live in the DiMera Mansion as they kiss. Stefan says now they are back where they belong and soon Gabi’s divorce to Li will be final and they’ll be together forever. They decide to go for another round and continue kissing in bed.

EJ sits in the living room and thinks back to hearing Nicole on the phone about keeping a secret from him. Nicole walks in and points out that he hasn’t touched his breakfast, so she asks for his thoughts.

Eric and Sloan have breakfast at the Brady Pub. Eric points out that she has hardly touched her breakfast and guesses she’s still thinking about Paulina’s rant. Sloan complains that every time something awful happens, she gets blamed for it and it’s so unfair. Sloan apologizes and says she should focus on the positives like her and Eric officially being a thing now so to hell with everything else. Melinda then walks in and accuses Sloan of drugging everyone’s breakfast in Salem.

Rafe greets Jada at the police station and promises that he’s not hallucinating anymore and even skipped breakfast to be sure. Abe arrives and declares that he is not happy with them. Rafe asks what’s wrong. Abe says he doesn’t give a damn about the kiss between them while Rafe was hallucinating but complains that there has been no arrest in this drugging debacle and the only person to pay the price is Chanel. Abe questions what the holdup is and why Sloan is still walking the streets.

Chanel and Talia are at the Bakery as Chanel complains about no customers coming anymore. Talia apologizes and says the breakfast biscuits were her recipe so she feels guilty. Chanel asks why since it’s not like she drugged the biscuits so she asks what she’s feeling guilty about. Talia thinks back to drugging the biscuits. Paulina then arrives and greets them. Chanel offers her a bear claw but Paulina says she’s not in the mood.

Nicole reminds EJ that he asked for her thoughts earlier and asks if something is bothering him. EJ claims he’s just tired and complains about the racket coming from Stefan’s room last night.

Gabi and Stefan joke about being heard downstairs and say they love each other. Gabi says she could stay like this with him all day. Stefan reminds her that they have pretty important plans today as they kiss.

Sloan tells Melinda that it’s one thing for Paulina to make an accusation with no proof but calls it despicable and unethical for someone with a law degree to do the same. Melinda argues that Sloan is the only person that hates Chanel enough to want to kill her business. Melinda adds that the idea of Chanel and Paulina framing Sloan is ridiculous. Eric points out that there is no evidence so this is slander. Melinda calls this personal since she was drugged and ended up assaulting Stefan DiMera and spending the night at the hospital with Rafe in the room across from her. Sloan asks why she should give a damn since she had nothing to do with it. Melinda warns that Sloan has caught the wrong powerful people in her net. Melinda declares that she will make sure Sloan goes down for this and goes away for a long time.

Rafe tells Abe that they don’t have the evidence they need to tie Sloan to any of this. Abe questions there being no fingerprints or security footage. Rafe mentions that Jada interviewed Chanel and Talia, who accidentally left the security camera off. Jada mentions that Talia is still new at the job. Abe repeats that Sloan is still walking the streets. Jada points out that they can’t be sure it was Sloan.

Chanel assures Paulina that they checked the security footage this morning so no one could have tampered with these. Paulina admits she was worried about everyone being drugged but she knows there’s no way they could have been tampered with this time, so she’ll take a tray of bear claws to support her. Paulina talks about how much she loves the bakery. Chanel says she doesn’t have to prove anything as they know she’s on their side. Chanel cries that the business is doing really bad for the first time ever and they all know Sloan is to blame. Chanel complains that Sloan came to Salem to ruin her and now she is succeeding as her plan to destroy her is going really well. Paulina hugs Chanel as Talia watches on. Paulina swears she won’t stand by while Sloan continues to attack them. Paulina’s phone rings so she says she’ll be right back as she goes to answer it. Chanel tells Talia that she loves her mom, but Paulina can’t convince everyone to trust their treats. Chanel worries that she won’t be able to keep Talia hired. Talia tells her not to worry about her right now and encourages that they will be fine. Talia insists the bakery will make a grand recovery and be better than ever. Chanel appreciates her optimism but remains uncertain and tells Talia to keep her options open. Talia states that she is a baker now and this is where she belongs. Chanel repeats that there is zero money coming in and she can’t work for free. Talia says she can because she believes in her. Talia knows she’s new to all of this but says working with Chanel feels right like it was meant to be. Chanel calls her the best and hugs her.

Abe questions if Rafe and Jada are saying they believe Sloan is innocent. Jada repeats that they have no evidence, so it’s her job to study the facts and keep an open mind. Rafe agrees and asks if it’s possible that Abe is still close to this which could be clouding his judgment. Abe admits it is deeply personal. Abe declares that he loves his family and this town while right now, both are under attack.

Sloan tells Melinda that she can make threats but if the cops had anything on her, she’d be in custody. Melinda calls it fairly obvious that the crime happened the night before so she suggests Sloan work on inventing an alibi. Eric steps in and informs her that she doesn’t have to because Sloan was with him all night. Melinda says they better hope someone can back them up but Eric says when they spend the night together, it’s just the two of them together.

EJ complains to Nicole about Stefan moving Gabi back in to his family home without consulting him and says he should start eviction proceedings. Stefan walks in and reminds EJ that his name is on the deed since he owned the place before being shot. Gabi joins him and remarks that it feels wonderful to be back home. Stefan calls it a beautiful day. EJ warns that there could be a storm coming. Stefan remarks that he wouldn’t want to get caught in it and decides they better get to work. EJ says he’s heading there too and he’s sure Nicole and Gabi can hold things down here. Stefan then reveals that Gabi is coming with them because he hired her. EJ questions Stefan not running it by him and suggests he go ahead and fire her which they argue over. EJ reminds Stefan that as co-CEOs, every executive level hire must be approved by both of them. Stefan explains that Gabi is not coming on as an executive. Nicole jokes that she must be joining the custodial staff. Stefan reveals that Gabi will be a consultant which he doesn’t need approval on. Stefan remarks that it looks like EJ got caught in the rain.

Sloan asks Melinda if she’s going to put an ex-priest in front of a jury and accuse him of lying. Melinda suggests reminding the jury that Eric posed illegally as a paralegal to interfere in a police investigation which she recalls Sloan not being too happy about it but remarks that things have changed. Sloan tells Melinda that she can go now because they would like to enjoy their breakfast alone in peace, so Melinda then walks out of the Pub. Sloan thanks Eric for having her back. Eric encourages that she did great and asks what’s wrong. Sloan knows she came off confident and it seems like she can prove her innocence, but she admits she’s terrified that they are coming for her and they’re not going to miss.

Rafe tells Jada that the trick seems to be nailing down exactly when the biscuits got drugged. Jada agrees that will help eliminate suspects and suggests starting now. Jada figures they should start from the beginning with the source.

Paulina joins Chanel and Talia and tries to convince customers to come to the Bakery. Chanel then gets a call from Jada and asks if she arrested Sloan. Jada responds that the investigation is still ongoing so she wants to go over everything with her again. Chanel says she already told her everything she knows which isn’t much. Chanel says she gets it and hangs up. Chanel informs Talia that she has to go to the police station and they want Talia there too.

EJ tells Stefan that they have no need for a consultant. Stefan says they have an urgent need and he hopes Gabi can assist them in building the company to get rid of as much waste as possible. Gabi can’t wait to dive right in. Stefan declares that Gabi’s first order of business will be to evaluate EJ. EJ argues that he’s been focusing on the day to day of the company while Stefan has been wasting company time trying to divert Li’s shares to Gabi. EJ decides he might need a consultant of his own and asks Nicole if she’s interested in the position. Nicole reminds EJ that she has a job at Basic Black. EJ says she has served them well there but at Basic Black, she is off on her own with Brady and working remotely. EJ invites Nicole to come aboard at DiMera Enterprises where she can work by his side and make great use of her talents. Nicole calls it sudden but accepts the job. EJ declares that it will be one big happy family at corporate headquarters from now on.

Paulina remains at the Bakery and tries calling out free samples to customers. Abe comes by and jokes about changing her careers. Paulina complains that Sloan’s attacks have hit Chanel’s business harder than they could have imagined. Paulina encourages Abe to try a sample to help convince the customers. Abe hesitates but accepts and calls it delicious. Abe shouts out that it’s the perfect way to start their day but Paulina points out that still no one is coming. Abe calls it a shame and asks where Chanel is. Paulina explains that Rafe and Jada called her and Talia to the police station to go over everything that happened. Paulina hopes they can finally burst Sloan’s balloon.

Chanel and Talia go to the police station. Rafe thanks them for coming back in. Chanel thinks they would save a lot of time by just arresting Sloan. Jada assures that if the evidence leads to Sloan, they will do just that. Jada suggests Chanel stay and have a chat. Talia questions them talking to them separately. Rafe explains that they will take both accounts with no distractions. Rafe then takes Talia to the interrogation room. Jada sits with Chanel and thanks her again for coming in. Chanel repeats that she’s already told her everything she knows. Jada wants her to tell her everything again starting from baking the biscuits. Chanel states that it was Talia’s recipe.

Rafe tells Talia that he knows this is intense but promises it’s just routine so she has no need to be nervous. Talia assures that she’s not nervous and wants to help find whoever is doing this to her friend Chanel and trying to ruin her business and her life.

Chanel tells Jada that all their ingredients were delivered by their regular service that afternoon, so they couldn’t have been tampered with before they got to work and they didn’t stray from Talia’s recipe.

Talia talks to Rafe about making a lot of biscuits and giving away free samples then they set aside the dough.

Chanel tells Jada about closing the Bakery a little earlier, she and Talia went their separate ways, and then she went home to Paulina.

Talia reminds Rafe that after closing down, she came to the police station and talked to him. Rafe recalls she was looking for Jada. Talia admits maybe she was a little too pushy in talking about Rafe’s possible feelings for Jada. Rafe asks where Talia went after leaving the station. Talia says she went back to the town square.

Chanel tells Jada that she went back to the town square to pick up dinner for her and Paulina and she was really angry after Paulina told her about Sloan’s threatening texts, then she ran in to Sloan.

Talia tells Rafe that she got to the square just in time because Chanel and Sloan were having a knock down, drag out fight, so she had to stop them. Talia mentions Sloan saying cruel things about Chanel and Paulina and then stormed off. Talia adds that Chanel was very upset and had a cut on her arm, so she tried to calm her down.

Chanel tells Jada about how Talia patched her up with the first aid kit at the bakery and the dough was still there, resting and untouched. Chanel mentions they turned off the security system when they went in so no one could have gotten in before then.

Talia tells Rafe that when they were done, Chanel invited her to have dinner with her and her family which excited her so much that she forgot to turn the alarm back on and guesses she wasn’t thinking.

Chanel tells Jada that she returned to work at 5 AM which Jada notes leaves 12 hours unaccounted for.

Talia blames herself and can’t believe she forgot to turn the alarm back on.

Chanel tells Jada that it’s not Talia’s fault as it’s not like she was in the habit of turning the security system on as she hasn’t been working there that long. Jada asks about dinner. Chanel says there’s not much to tell and that they just had dinner from the bistro and sat around talking.

Talia tells Rafe that she went straight home after dinner.

Chanel tells Jada that she knows the rest and it was a total disaster. Rafe and Talia then come out from the interrogation room. Rafe thanks Chanel and Talia for coming in again. Chanel hopes it helps them lock up Sloan for good as she’s the only one who would do this. Talia agrees and can’t think of anyone else who would want to hurt Chanel like this. Jada tells Talia that she will see her at home later. Chanel tells Talia that she’s just going to go lock up for the day. Talia encourages that customers will come back as they exit. Melinda arrives and asks if there’s a new development. Rafe says they were just going over the timeline. Melinda says they have their work cut out for them as she just saw Sloan and she has a solid alibi in Eric Brady spending the night with her. Jada argues that Sloan could have slipped out during the night while Eric was asleep. Melinda wishes her luck proving that and asks if there are any other suspects. Jada says they are working on it.

Sloan calls it a hell of a way to start the day. Eric encourages that the truth is on her side. Sloan worries that doesn’t matter but insists that she did not drug the dough. Sloan says someone did and made everyone in town go totally nuts, including Eric and Nicole.

Nicole tells EJ that he outdid himself and she was impressed. EJ knows he put her on the spot but he knew he could count on her as he hugs her. Stefan and Gabi come downstairs and ask if they are ready to go. Stefan suggests they carpool and tells EJ to drive as they exit the mansion.

Eric asks Sloan who else has it in for Chanel. Sloan complains that everyone in town seems to love Chanel and Paulina. Sloan notes that Melinda did make one good point that Chanel and Paulina wouldn’t hurt Chanel’s business just to get at her. Eric agrees and says they first must figure out who the intended target was. Sloan wonders if it was Chanel or her.

Rafe and Jada go over when Chanel and Talia left the bakery without setting the security system and then they both had dinner with Paulina and Abe. Rafe notes that Talia went straight home while Chanel stayed behind and they didn’t see each other again until 5 AM the next morning. Jada stops and questions what he just said.

Chanel returns to the town square and thanks Paulina for watching over the Bakery and says she’s just going to close up for the day. Paulina asks how it went at the police station. Chanel says she will fill her in later, but worries that she’s going to lose her bakery. Paulina promises that she won’t let that happen and offers to cook a meal for her and Talia tonight and then they can figure out how to get her business running again. Chanel calls that really sweet but says she already sent Talia home for the day.

Talia goes to someone’s hotel room.

Rafe doesn’t understand as he just asked Jada what happened after Talia and Chanel left the Bakery but she hasn’t answered and seems kinda upset. Jada reveals that she just realized what Talia told him is not true.

Talia arrives at the hotel room of a man, who says it’s about time as he brings her inside and they begin kissing.

Update written by Joseph

Johnny sits in the town square and tries to call Wendy but she doesn’t answer. Chanel approaches and asks if something is wrong. Johnny informs her that Wendy is rejecting his calls and is obviously still upset about him proposing to Chanel. Chanel asks if Wendy heard they were drugged., like everyone else who ate the tainted biscuits. Johnny says apparently not because Wendy left town to see Tripp.

In Seattle, Washington, Wendy tells Tripp that Johnny called her four more times, so she blocked him. Tripp questions why Johnny is calling her if he’s marrying Chanel. Wendy guesses Johnny wants to alleviate his guilt but refuses to give him the satisfaction. Wendy declares that she doesn’t want to deal with Johnny, especially since she and Tripp are technically on their first date. Tripp asks how it’s going for her. Wendy says it’s going great and she can’t wait to see what he has planned next.

In Greece, Chad and Stephanie thank Harris for rescuing them from Thomas Banks. Kayla asks who he is, so Stephanie introduces her to Harris. Harris tells her that he’s glad she’s safe. Kayla points out that she is, but Steve isn’t and he’s being held captive. Stephanie says that Harris will never believe who kidnapped her parents. Harris reveals that he actually knows who it was.

At the edge of the cliff in Greece, Bo declares that the only way he can be the man he’s meant to be is to get rid of Hope. Bo then aims his gun at Hope. Hope says no and tells Bo to listen to her. Hope calls him Bo Brady and says that is who he is, the best man she knows and the love of her life which will never change. Hope adds that she knows his love for her is never going to change no matter what he says or does. Hope declares that the one fundamental truth between them is that they love each other to the very depths of their soul. Bo continues having flashbacks. Hope adds that no matter what happens here, nothing will ever extinguish their love. Hope says so many people tried to keep them apart but they couldn’t do it and they’ve overcome every obstacle in their way. Hope says Bo can tell himself that he’s better off without her but he will never believe it. Hope adds that his heart is tugging at him because it’s the truest part of him and it knows he belongs with her. Hope reminds Bo that she is his Fancyface as they flashback to their relationship over the years. Bo holds back tears as Hope seems to have gotten through to him, but Shawn and Steve arrive and upon seeing Bo holding Hope at gunpoint, Shawn shoots Bo. Hope then rushes to Bo’s side to check on him and cries over him on the ground.

Chad asks how Harris knows it was Bo that kidnapped Steve and Kayla. Harris explains that he ran in to Bo at Victor’s childhood home. Stephanie questions him not saying anything. Harris apologizes for not speaking up sooner. Chad understands he didn’t want to lose Hope. Stephanie argues that her parents lives were in danger. Harris says that he asked Bo where Kayla was but he denied it, so he just believed that Bo would not hurt his own sister. Stephanie asks what if he did. Harris admits he was wrong for not telling everybody and he’s sorry. Harris adds that he finally came clean to Hope. Kayla asks if he told her about Bo. Harris says he sent her to the villa but he didn’t tell her that Bo is alive. Kayla says that she obviously knows now and she can’t imagine what Hope is going through.

Hope breaks down crying over Bo. Steve takes Shawn’s phone to call for help. Shawn apologizes to Hope and says he saw that Bo had his gun pointed at Hope. Hope understands but insists that Bo wasn’t going to hurt her. Shawn asks how she knows since Harris said that Bo had been brainwashed. Hope declares that she got through to him and Bo came back to her as she cries over his body.

Chanel tells Johnny that she’s sorry to hear that Wendy left town, but suggests giving her space and then explaining what happened when she gets back. Johnny worries that Wendy and Tripp could be together by then. Chanel asks what else he can do. Johnny says he was going to go to Seattle tonight but his flight got cancelled. Johnny then gets an alert that his texts are not going through so he realizes Wendy blocked his number. Johnny declares that the drugged biscuits really screwed everything up. Chanel says he can blame Sloan for that. Johnny asks if the police proved it was her. Chanel says not yet but it’s so obvious. Johnny tells Chanel that he’s really sorry she’s going through all of this. Leo approaches and calls them Salem’s newly engaged couple, then asks when the wedding day is.

Tripp admits to Wendy that he hadn’t thought of anything else for their date yet but he’s not giving up. Tripp decides they are going out. Wendy suggests going to the club. Tripp jokes about his bad dance moves so they decide against that. Tripp suggests going to the pier and riding the Ferris wheel but Wendy is afraid of getting stuck. Tripp encourages that it will be fun. Wendy says they can just stay home but Tripp insists that she didn’t come all this way just to hang out in the apartment. Tripp promises that the Ferris wheel won’t get stuck and then they can walk along the pier and have cotton candy. Tripp vows to show her a good time, even if it kills him. Wendy accepts and they exit together.

Kayla says maybe seeing Hope will shake off Bo’s brainwashing. Kayla adds that Bo couldn’t bring himself to hurt Steve so she can’t imagine he would hurt Hope. Chad asks if he’s been in touch. Harris says no but Shawn arrived and went straight there, so he’s hoping to hear soon. Kayla feels they can’t wait since Steve is in trouble, so they need to go rescue him. Harris feels he’s the last person that Hope will want to see, so he will stay back and turn Thomas Banks in to local authorities. Stephanie tells him that he can’t because Thomas bribed them last time to get free. Harris decides he’ll contact the ISA then and return the prisms as well. Chad and Stephanie exit. Harris stops Kayla and tells her that he regrets not telling her the truth sooner and he’s really sorry as he just didn’t want to lose Hope.

Hope gets Bo in a hospital where doctors work to revive him as his blood pressure is dropping. They tell Hope she can’t be there but she refuses to leave until she knows he’s okay. Bo then flatlines so the doctor calls for the paddles.

Steve checks on Shawn. Shawn doesn’t know how he’s feeling as he is trying to process that his father is alive and now because of him, they might lose him all over again. Steve encourages that Bo is a fighter and after everything he’s been through, he doesn’t think one bullet will take him down. Shawn agrees that Bo has to be okay.

The doctor tries to revive Bo but are unsuccessful as Hope pleads with them. The doctor informs Hope that he’s so sorry but Bo is gone. Hope breaks down crying for Bo to wake up.

Leo tells Johnny and Chanel to give him all the details. Chanel doesn’t know what he’s heard. Leo responds that he heard all the tea as his sources told him that Johnny proposed to Chanel again and she said yes again. Johnny admits that’s true. Leo asks Chanel to show off the ring but Chanel says there isn’t one which Leo questions. Johnny hopes Leo will stop talking and go away as he shouts that he and Chanel are not getting married. Leo says he doesn’t have to yell and questions them being on again, off again. Chanel clarifies that Johnny is not interested in her anymore. Leo then asks if there’s someone else, claiming he won’t print it and is just curious. Chanel points out that if Johnny doesn’t tell him, he’ll just make something up. Johnny responds that he’s dating Wendy Shin. Leo notes that must have been awkward and asks how Wendy handled the news of his engagement.

Tripp and Wendy return to the apartment. Wendy jokes that when he said he’d show her a good time even if it killed him, she didn’t think he was being literal. Tripp points out that he told her the Ferris wheel wouldn’t get stuck while Wendy notes that they did not actually get on the Ferris wheel. Tripp wonders if he’s the only one to trip and fall while getting on to the Ferris wheel. Wendy laughs about how funny it was. Tripp complains that he injured himself while Wendy calls it just a bruise. Wendy adds that Tripp said he would show her a good time and she had one, even if it was at his expense.

Chad, Kayla, and Stephanie return to the wine cellar but find Steve is gone. Stephanie wonders if Bo took Steve somewhere else while Kayla suggests Hope could have got through to Bo and he let Steve go. Chad finds the hole in the wall and thinks Steve escaped. Kayla admits that sounds right. Stephanie wonders where Steve went.

Steve questions Shawn about Harris knowing Bo was alive and not saying anything, calling him a son of a bitch. Shawn explains that Harris didn’t want to lose Hope but his conscience got the better of him, so he sent Hope to the villa. Shawn adds that once Harris relayed the story to him, he raced over and didn’t know what to expect, then he gets there to see his dad pointing a gun at his mom. Shawn says all he could think was how Harris said Megan had turned Bo and that Bo had probably killed Kate, so there was no way he was going to let that happen to Hope too. Steve understands as it looked the same way to him. Shawn complains that they were both wrong as Hope had gotten through to Bo and he was the same man that they remember. Shawn cries that this means he shot his dad for no reason. Shawn worries about if Bo dies as Steve hugs him.

Hope pleads with the doctor to do something more but he says they’ve tried everything and he’s afraid it’s too late. Hope cries that she’s already lost Bo once and can’t do it again. Hope continues pleading with Bo to wake up. The doctor says he understands it’s difficult. Hope says they were apart for so long and she just got him back but they didn’t get any time together, so this can’t be how it ends. The doctor repeats that he’s very sorry but there’s nothing they can do as Bo is dead. Hope then faints and dreams of reuniting Bo without the part where Bo was shot.

Johnny explains to Leo that Wendy was obviously upset, but he hopes to smooth things over by explaining to her that he was high on biscuits. Leo questions these biscuits that everyone keeps talking about and if they are some new designer drug that he’s missing out on. Chanel clarifies that he’s talking about her breakfast biscuits. Leo questions her being the hookup. Chanel blames Sloan for half the town being on a hallucinogenic and suggests Leo put that in his column. Leo responds that he can’t because Sloan is threatening to sue him for libel, unless she has concrete proof. Chanel admits she doesn’t, so Leo says he will run his original story about Johnny and Chanel’s reunion. Chanel argues that they aren’t even together. Johnny adds that they only did this because of the drugs. Leo wonders if it’s possible that the drugs brought their true feelings to the surface as he then walks away.

Wendy brings Tripp frozen peas to put on his bruised ribs. Tripp says it’s fine but Wendy insists on helping with the swelling. They joke with each other and end up kissing.

Shawn tells Steve that he’s sorry. Steve hates to leave him like this but he needs to get to the lab to make sure Kayla is alright. Shawn tells him he should go and he’ll call if anything changes. Steve goes to give Shawn his phone back right when Stephanie calls. Steve answers and informs Stephanie that they are at a local hospital. Stephanie asks if they are alright. Steve responds that they are fine but it’s her uncle Bo.

Hope’s dream of reuniting with Bo continues where they agreed to never be apart again.

Chanel tells Johnny that Leo just lives for the drama and she already knows that Wendy is the one that Johnny wants to be with. Johnny says the question is if Wendy wants to be with him and worries that she probably hates him now. Chanel offers to help by trying to call Wendy. Johnny points out that Li already tried, so he doesn’t think Wendy will listen to her. Chanel decides she will call Tripp since they are friends and then she can explain to him what really happened.

Tripp and Wendy kiss until Tripp’s phone rings. Tripp worries that it could be about Kayla but sees that it’s Chanel. Wendy questions why she would be calling. Tripp doesn’t know but decides he should hear her out. Tripp answers and tells Chanel that he hears congratulations are in order. Chanel tells him that he has to let her explain. Chanel declares that what Wendy saw wasn’t real. Tripp asks if Wendy was hallucinating. Chanel responds that she wasn’t, but they were. Tripp questions what she’s talking about. Chanel explains that she and Johnny were not in their right minds and high on biscuits. Tripp is confused. Chanel knows it sounds crazy but she’s telling the truth that they accidentally ingested a powerful hallucinogenic along with a lot of other people. Chanel calls it a long story and declares that they are not engaged and that Johnny wants to be with Wendy.

Kayla, Stephanie, and Chad join Steve and Shawn at the hospital. Steve hugs Kayla and Stephanie, telling them how good it is to see them. Stephanie says she took Kayla to get checked out but she insisted on coming here. Kayla asks about Bo being shot. Steve confirms that Hope is in with him now. Chad questions what happened and who shot him. Shawn admits it was him and that he made a terrible mistake.

Hope continues dreaming of a romantic reunion with Bo. Hope then wakes up in the hospital with a woman named Angela from the trauma unit at her side. Hope looks over and sees Bo’s hospital bed is now empty, so she asks if they already took him. Angela reveals they took Bo in to surgery. Hope is thrilled and hugs her. Angela reveals that after Hope passed out, Bo’s heart began beating again and she’s never seen anything like it, calling it a miracle. Hope gives thanks to God. Angela clarifies that Bo is not out of the woods yet, but it’s clear that he is not giving up and she suspects that Hope may be the reason. Hope hugs her and thanks her.

Johnny tells Wendy on the phone that he was drugged and lost in his memories of his wedding to Chanel, but now that he’s sober, he swears that Wendy is the only woman he wants. Wendy says it sounds so crazy that it must be true. Johnny asks if she believes him. Wendy confirms that she does. Johnny says that makes him happy so now things can just go back to the way they were.

Stephanie brings Kayla some water and mentions that Chad went to the hotel to get some clothes for Kayla. Shawn questions there being no word on Bo. Kayla is sure tehy are doing their best. Shawn decides he’s going to get answers but Hope arrives and hugs him. Shawn asks about Bo. Hope admits she almost lost him again, but he’s in surgery. Hope hugs Kayla, thankful that she’s alright. Kayla asks about Hope getting through to Bo. Hope talks about how stubborn he is and says she just kept talking to him until she got through. Shawn remarks that Hope and Bo would be together now if it wasn’t for him.

Chad runs in to Harris at the hotel and asks how it went with Thomas Banks. Harris confirms he’s now in ISA custody and asks if they found Steve. Chad confirms they did and that everyone is at the hospital. Harris asks why the hospital and what happened.

Kayla assures Shawn that it was an accident as he had a split second to make a decision and did what he thought was best. Steve encourages focusing their energy on praying for Bo. The doctor enters and announces that Bo made it through surgery and his vitals have stabilized, but his injury caused a lot of damage to his system so there is a new complication. Hope asks what it is. The doctor then reveals that Bo has fallen in to a coma.

Where’d she go? Well, where do you think to see Trip?

Where Johnny? Yeah. He called four more times, so I blocked him. Yeah, I, I don’t get it. If he’s marrying Chanel, why don’t he keep calling you? Oh, probably to alleviate his guilt by groveling, but forget it. I’m not giving him the satisfaction anyway. I don’t wanna deal with him right now, especially since you and I are technically on our first date.

Hmm. And how’s it going so far in your estimation? That is well, considering you made a scrumptious dinner and then insisted on doing all of the dishes. I’d say it’s going great. I can’t wait to see what you have planned next.

Just told me I should write fight songs. That’s what we do half the time. We’ve been together forever through thicker and dinner, like the day that we promised.

The best things life was a of friendships and traveling. Why make me much better ever?

It’s unruly. Sometimes it comes at.

And the,

I

still love you.

Hi, love you.

The one true love of my life. I love you. Oh, William.

No.

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

So is Beau who’s keeping Stephanie’s parents hostage? How do you know that? Well, when I checked out Victor Kiki’s Childhood Home, that’s, that’s when I ran into him. And you didn’t say anything. I, I know I should have spoken up earlier. I’m sorry, but I You didn’t wanna lose hope.

See, you just kept your mouth shut even though my parents’ lives were in danger. Oh. Mentioned that somebody came by the place, but he. Didn’t say it was you? No, I asked him where you were. He denied it and I didn’t really believe him, but I, you know, I just told myself there’s no way he could hurt his own sister, and if he had hurt her, then what?

I, I was wrong. Okay. I was wrong for not telling everybody I. I’m sorry. That’s why I finally came clean to Hope. Did you tell her about Bo? Not exactly. I sent her to the Villa, but I did not tell her that Bo was alive. Oh, she obviously knows now. You can’t imagine what she’s going through.

Fuck is he? He had his phone, his lemonade, ambulance, ambulance. Hey, he’s gonna help mom. I’m so sorry. I’m gonna, he had the gun pointed at you and I didn’t, I didn’t know what to do. I, I, I, I couldn’t tell me. I didn’t do, it’s gonna hurt. How do you know that Michael said he was brainwashed, that he wasn’t the man?

You don’t understand. I got screwed to him. I came back to.

Hear my heart. I shot him.

Look, I’m sorry to hear that Wendy left town, but. If she won’t take your calls, then maybe you should just give her some space and, and then when she comes back to town, you can explain what happened. What if she and Trip are together? By then, I told you the guys got a thing for her. Oh, right. Well, what else can you do?

I was gonna go to Seattle tonight, but my flight got canceled.

Oh, great. Now my texts aren’t even going through. She must have blocked my number. Damn it. These. The drug biscuits really screwed everything up, huh? Yeah. You can blame Sloan Peterson for that. Please tell me the police were able to prove it was her. Not yet. God, that is so obvious. She tried to destroy my business and she may have succeeded.

I’m really sorry you’re going through all this tuchi. Well, well, if it is in Salem’s newly engaged couple, so tell me when’s the big day?

Uh, well, to be honest, I haven’t really thought of anything else, uh, for our date yet. Oh, that’s fine. I mean, I showed up out of the blue. No, no, that doesn’t mean I’m giving enough though. Okay. I mean, not a few traveled, you know, like 2000 miles to get here at least I can do is bring my A game, right? So, We were going out.

Okay. We can go to a club or something. Um, well, you’ve seen my dance moves, right, son? Are you really willing to subject yourself to that level of public humiliation? Yeah, that’s good point. Yeah. Uh oh. We can go to the pier. They have a, they have a Ferris wall there, you can see like half the west side of Seattle in the waterfront.

And, uh, you don’t like Ferris wheels? Well, it’s. Okay. It’s not that I don’t like them, it’s just that I have a strange phobia of getting stuck in them. Come on. That’s, that’s not gonna happen. All, it’ll be fun. We can just stay home. No, no, no, no, no, no. You, you did not come all this way to hang out in this apartment.

Okay, so we are going to ride the Ferris wheel, which will not get stuck for promise. And then we walk around the pier. There’s some cotton candy. I am going to show you a good time, even if it kills me.

Okay, let’s go. I’ll want you back. Good call.

What? Well, maybe seeing hope will shake off my brother’s brainwashing. You don’t think you’d hurt, or do you? No, I mean, he, he couldn’t bring himself to hurt your father, so I can’t imagine he would hurt. Hope. Have you heard from her yet? No. But her son Sean arrived in town. He went straight there. So I’m hoping he’ll be in touch soon.

Well, you know what? We can’t wait. Steve is in trouble and we need to go rescue him. Okay. Um, if hope’s there, I’m sure I’m the last person she wants to see. So in the meantime, I’ll return banks to local authorities. You can’t. He bribed them last time. That’s how he got free. Then I’ll contact the ISA and I’ll return these as well.

I just, I, I wanna say that I regret not telling you the truth sooner. I’m really sorry.

I just didn’t wanna lose hope. Blood pressure is dropping. We need to stabilize him. Hang on. Fighting. I can’t. I’m sorry man. You cannot be here. I’m not leaving. Not shall I know he’s okay. It’s fine, but stand. Get me the puddles.

Uh, thanks.

How you doing, buddy? I honestly don’t really know how to answer that. I’m just, man, I’m trying to process the fact that, that my dad’s alive and thanks to me, I might lose him all over again. Hey, buddy, listen. What was a fighter after everything he’s been through, do you think one little bullet is gonna take him down?

I don’t think so.

Yeah, you’re right. You’re right. He’s gonna be okay. Like he’s gotta be.

Oh God. Go on. Ready?

Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. What are you doing? Wait, why are you stopping? Wait, what are you doing? What? I’m so sorry. Here. Stop. He’s gone. Yeah. Oh please, no.

Oh, come on. Don’t be stingy. Give lady whistleblower all the juicy deeds. Share your premarital bliss with all of Leo. I don’t know what you heard, but hey honey, I heard all the tea. My spies. I mean, sources told me that Johnny got down on his knee in this very spot and asked for your hand in marriage again, and you said yes again.

Look, that’s true, but it’s okay. Chanel girl, let’s see the ring. Come on. Show that bad boy off. Okay. I can’t, there isn’t one. What? No ring. You cheaps skate. Surely a damira can afford to give a lady a proper rock. Leo, I am going to say this one time in hopes that you’ll stop talking and go away. Huh? Chanel and I.

Are not getting married. Wow. Okay. You don’t have to yell, you know? What is it with you two anyway, off again on again. Married, divorced, doing the dirty with the other one’s. Twin sister, few millennials, you’re so hard to keep track of. There’s nothing to keep track of. Johnny isn’t interested in me anymore.

Oh. Is there someone else? Oh, come on. I won’t print it. I’m just curious. Johnny, if you don’t tell him, he’s just gonna make something up. Fine. I’m dating Wendy, shit. Oh wow. That must have been awkward. How did she handle the news of your engagement?

Okay. When you said you’d show me a good time, even if it killed you, I didn’t think you were being literal. Yeah, me neither. I did try to tell you that Ferris wheel was a bad idea. Well, at least we didn’t get stuck that No. That would’ve required us to actually get on a ride. Yeah. Yeah. I wonder if I’m the only clutch to manage to trip in fall getting into one of those, uh, Ferris wheel pods or whatever they’re called.

Right. Operator allow so hard and not as hard as you did. I just, I couldn’t help him. Ok. The way you missed. That little step in the face that you made when you fell. Hey, I injured myself. Oh, come on. It’s just a bruise. Yeah, just like my ego. Okay, well look on the bright side. You said you’d showed me a good time and I had one, even if it was at your expense.

Oh no. Where’s Papa? This is where I left him. Uncle Beau wasn’t upstairs. Do you think he took him somewhere else? Or maybe Hope got through to him and he let your father deal.

I think he escaped. That sounds about right. Well, Papa did get free. Where do you think he went? So Michael’s knew Beau was alive and he said nothing. Son of a bitch. Yeah. He said that he didn’t tell my mom because he thought that he was gonna lose her. And, uh, I guess his, his conscience got the better of him, and so he sent her to the villa.

And, uh, once he relayed the story to me, I raced over there too, and I, I didn’t, I didn’t know what to expect. I, and I get there and my dad just got a gun and it’s, and it’s pointed at my mom. And it’s like all I could think of how was how Michael said that Megan had turned him and that he had, that he had probably shot and killed Kate.

And I just, I just knew that there was no damn way I was gonna let that happen to my mom too.

I understand. It looked the same way to me. Yeah, but you were both wrong. Like my mom had gotten through to him. He was the same, same man that we once remembered. And I mean, he would call her fancy face. Look, which means it, it means that I shot my dad for no reason.

Look, and if he look at he dies. Oh my God. I.

Please must be something more you could do. We tried everything. I’m three. Too late. I already lost you once. I can’t lose you again, please. Three easy. Four. Oh. There we please. Come on please. Wake up. Open your damn eyes. Would you open them please? Oh. Oh, wake up. I understand that this is difficult. No, we don’t understand.

We were apart for so long and I just got him back and we didn’t get any time together.

So let’s get the, how it ends.

I’m very sorry. There’s anything we can do. He’s calm dead.

Fancy face.

Thank God. Welcome back. Welcome, welcome back, Brady. I missed you. I missed you.

Wendy was obviously upset. Not that it’s any of your damn business, but I hope to smooth things over by explaining to her that I was high on biscuits. Biscuits, biscuits. What are these biscuits everybody keeps talking about? Are they some new designer drug? Am I missing out? He’s talking about my breakfast biscuits.

Oh, so you are the hookup. My. When did our little Pat TCA break? Bad? Okay. I didn’t break bad Leo. That would be Sloane Peterson because of her half the town was on a powerful hallucinogenic. So if you want something juicy for your column, you should just go ahead and write that. Okay? I’m afraid I can’t.

Why not? Well, thanks to Chanel and her previous hot tip, Sloane is threatening to sue me for libel. So unless you have concrete proof,

you don’t. I can tell by your expression. Right. I don’t. Well then I’ll be running my original story. Johnny and Chanel Salem’s answer to the bene reunion and poor Wendy Shin, the jilted arod left out in the cold. The story practically writes itself. We’re not even together. We only did this because of the damn drugs.

Or is it possible that the drugs brought your true feelings to the surface?

Food for thought.

I come bearing a peace offering. Gross peace. Yeah. Maybe I should have said a Pease offering. Wow, man. You are Roll today for your bruise obviously fell with the swelling here. It looked like your shirt. I, I appreciate that, but it’s fine. No. It’s sore and swollen.

It’s pretty cold. Yeah, that’s the point, which I’m sure you know, Dr. Johnson, you just enjoy torture me, don’t you? I have been told I have a slight Sadomasochistic Street. Wow. Okay. Well, what have I gotten myself into? Seriously? Do you want me to stop? No, no, actually, it’s starting to feel pretty good. I’m glad.

We know what my kid make it feel even better. What this

look, I’m sorry. Hey, come on. There’s nothing to be sorry for. Listen. Uh. I hate to leave you like this, but I need to get over to the Titan lab and make sure Kayla’s all right. Yeah. No, no, no, no. You should go. Yeah, you should go. I’m gonna stay here with my mom and, uh, we’ll, uh, I’ll call you. I’ll call you if something changes.

Okay. Good? Yeah. Oh, do you have my, you have my phone? Oh, yeah, it’s right here,

Stephanie. Hey, Stephanie. Papa, I was just calling Sean to see if he knew where you were. Uh, we’re at a local hospital. Sorry, the connection’s bad. Did you say you’re at a hospital? Yeah. Are you okay? Yeah, I’m fine. So is Sean.

It’s your Uncle Bo.

I’m so, so sorry. For what? Just I had a gun on you. I was gonna kill you. No, you weren’t. I didn’t believe that for a second. No matter what, Ralph did you, I knew that you would never hurt me, and he really messed with my head. Tried to make me forget who I am. Forget our love. You may have messed with your head, but you could never touch what’s in your heart.

Nothing can erase our love. Not Ralph, as it turns out, not even dead. I can’t believe you’re really here, I believe. I thought I’d lost you forever. Sorry for what you went through.

What’d he say? Let’s. Let’s never be apart again.

Listen about what Leo said about the drugs, somehow revealing our true feelings for each other. Yeah. Please, Leo. Lives for the drama. And besides, I, I already know that Wendy’s who you wanna be with. Well, the question is, does Wendy wanna be with me? She, uh, she probably hates me right now. Maybe I can help with that.

Well, don’t, don’t tell me you wanna broadcast this story too, only to the person who matters. You already tried calling, so now it’s my turn. But Lee already tried that. Okay. Didn’t work. If Wendy’s not gonna listen to her own brother, I doubt she’s gonna listen to her ex-roommate, especially if she thinks you stole me from her.

You’re probably even blocked too. Okay? Which is why I am going to call Tripp. He and I are friends, so he should answer, and then I can explain to him what really happened.

This could be about Kayla. Oh, of course. Take it. It’s Chanel. Chanel, why would she be calling? I don’t know, but after the way she screwed you over, I might as well. Here’s what she have to say. Huh? I hear congratulations are an order trip. You have to let me explain what Wendy saw. Wasn’t real, not not real.

Okay. So, so what are you saying That she, uh, she imagined it, that she was hallucinating? No, she wasn’t. But Johnny and I were, what, what are you talking about? When Johnny proposed and I accepted, we weren’t in our right minds. We were high on biscuits. Okay. Okay, now I’m really confused. And then we’re way past April Fools.

So, hey, look, I know it sounds crazy, but I’m telling you the truth. Johnny and I accidentally ingested a powerful hallucinogenic, so did a lot of other people in Salem. It is a long story, but Johnny and I aren’t engaged. He wants to be with Wendy,

Steve. Oh my God. Tell how good it’s to see you, baby. Are you all right? I’m fine. She definitely is. I took her to get checked out after everything that happened, but she insisted on coming here before she even got out of that hospital gown. Stephanie said that Bo’s been shot. Yeah, I’m wait near from the doctors.

Hope is in there with him now. Well, what happened? Who shot him? It was me. I, uh, I made a terrible mistake

almost there. Hold on. Stop. Stop. Oh, okay.

You did all this? Mm-hmm. Well, you know, when we’re together, anything is possible. Hey, I was thinking that what if we buy this place from Victor? Huh? Then we would have a place to get away to you and I to be alone. Maybe have some. Romantic time. What do you say? What do I say?

I think it sounds pretty spectacular. Brady.

And speaking of Victor, do you think we should call him? Huh And the rest of the family tell me Good news. The good news, the Spectacular Miracle visit, at least our children. Yeah, yeah, I, we should do that. It’s like right on the top of my list of things to do.

But right now, this is some US time and we deserve it cuz we were torn apart a long time ago. But despite the odds, we found our way back to each other. Don’t we always. Now we get to spend the rest of our lives together, ready the way it was meant to be. You know? To our future. To our future.

Let’s move to the fireplace. Love you. I wanna share life with,

oh my gosh.

I never thought I could be this happy.

What? I just love you so much.

I love you. You are my heart and always will be.

Oh, I think so. Perfect. It feels like a train.

Oh, Mrs. Brady,

welcome back. You look familiar. Do I know you? Perhaps you saw me earlier. I’m Angela. I work here in the trauma unit. It’s right, I’m the hospital.

Did they already take? No, they took him to surgery.

Wait, wait. They took surgery after you pass out? His heart started beating again. I’ve never seen anything like it. I mean, it was a true miracle. Oh my God. Thank you. Thank you. God, thank you. No, no wait. He’s not outta the woods yet. But it’s clear he is not giving up. And I suspect you may be the reason. Yes.

So you were drugged? Yes. Yes. That’s what I’ve been trying to explain to you and, and it really. It mess with my head. You know, I was lost in, in my memories of my wedding to Chanel. Uh, but, but now that I’m sober, I, I, I swear to you that you are the only woman I want.

That sounds so crazy. It must be true. See, believe me, actually I do. Oh, thank God. You have no idea how happy that makes me. Now things can just go back to the way they were.

Hey grandma. Oh, thank you sweetie. Yeah. Where’s Chad? He, uh, he went back to the hotel to get some of my clothes. I figured he might wanna change into something fresh. Thank you. Any word on Uncle Beau? Not yet. What is taking so long? Sean? I’m, I’m sure they’re doing their best. Well, I can’t just sit here and do nothing, so I’m gonna go get some answers.

Hey, come on. How’s dad? I almost lost him again. But he’s in surgery. Yeah.

Hey, hey. Oh, thank God. You’re all right. Yeah. Thank God. Same for you. Sean told me that you got through to my brother. I did, but he was fighting and you know how stubborn he is. I do. So I just kept talking to him and talking to him until, until they finally go through and call me a fancy face. And you and dad would be together at this very moment if it wasn’t for me.

Hey, hey. Uh, how to cold? Thanks. Well, he’s uh, he’s out of our hair. He is in ISA custody. Did you guys find Steve? Yeah, we did. Everyone’s at the hospital. The hospital. Why? What happened, Sean? It was an accident. You had a split second to make a decision and you did what you thought was best. Kayla’s right buddy.

So listen, why don’t we all focus our energy on Bo, send him some prayers so he knows we’re here for him. Yeah.

Doctor, how is he houseful? Mr. Brady made it through surgery and his vitals have stabilized. Thank God.

Hey, I see there is something you should know first. His injury caused a lot of damage to his system and as a result, There is a new complication. What? What complication? Tell me what is it? I’m afraid Mr. Brady has lapsed into a coma.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Oh, what do you, what do you mean? Oh, yes, Kayla Andrew. Sounds like, I know it sounds crazy, but that’s what Megan told us, but that’s who it was. What are you talking about? When we were on the island, we found another cryogenic tube. Um, we just assumed that Megan had been keeping somebody else alive. We thought it might have been Stefano, but then Ralph said it was not Stefano.

He was about to tell us who it was when Megan walked in on us. Marlena, what do he say? I’m saying I think Megan might have been telling the truth. Truth. We’re done, Megan. We’re done. There’s nothing left to say.

Commander Michaels, I’m, uh, I’m Hope son, Sean Douglas. Brady. Hey, your mom showed me pictures. Very proud of you. Come on in. Thanks. So, um, Why are you here in Greece? Uh, well after my mom told me, not only is my aunt Kayla missing, so is my uncle Steve figured I’d come here and see if I could help. You have any leads yet?

Nope. Not a word on any of them. I went to my mom’s room, she’s not in there, so I’m assuming she’s out looking for them now. You know where she’s at. Yeah, I do. Hey, is anybody out there?

You gotta get yourself outta here, man.

Oh, thank God we found you. You don’t know how good it is to see you, but where’s dad? Is he in another room? He’s not here. He’s being held captive. But what do you mean who is holding him?

Anybody here? Hello.

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

My God, Bo Alive. Let’s definitely one for the books. Keep him for Salem. So all this time, Megan has kept him locked away in some cryogenic too. That’s what it sounds like. Okay. Well, if Bo has Kayla’s and Kayla’s, okay. Bo wouldn’t hurt his own sister at hell. Bo wouldn’t hurt anybody. I’m not so sure that’s true.

Of course it is. Andrew, you know Bo, I know how he used to be, but Megan also told us that. He was the one who killed Kate.

Oh.

Be another way outta here.

It’s gotta be

is alive. You’ve actually seen him. Yeah. On the island where Megan was keeping us, I managed to get away from Ralph and I just ran right into him. So Megan’s had him all this time. Cryogenically preserved just like Marlena and Kate and me. If you and Paul managed to escape, why didn’t he just take you back to Salem?

Because Beau doesn’t wanna go back to Salem.

This possible.

Am I seeing what I think? I’m

you.

That’s not possible. My brother wouldn’t kill anyone, let alone my wife, Kate. I didn’t wanna believe it either. But Megan was adamant that Thomas Banks was not the one who killed Kate. It was Beau. Let’s just, let’s just back up here a second. Since winter, we believing a word that comes outta Megan Hathaway Smart.

I say, Andrew, judge us right back to that prison. We get the truth out of her tonight. By any means necessary. Yeah, I don’t think that’s a good idea. You’re a civilian and it’s long past visiting hours. Yeah. What if I have an ISA agent at my side? Even if I could get you in there, there’s no guarantee that Megan would give us any other information that she hasn’t already given me.

Andrew’s Wright partner here. If she’s lying, which she is. I doubt that she’s gonna change her story now. I’ll just have to give her a reason. You’re not gonna do that. First of all, Andrew won’t let you anywhere near her. And secondly, that isn’t who you are. See what the hell am I supposed to do? Am I supposed to wave around here and find out if my brother who’s now suddenly alive kills a woman?

I love?

I know this is so hard on you. It’s hard on everybody. But we are focusing way too much on Megan here. We’re not going to get any answers tonight, and I think you’re gonna know all your strength when you do get the answers. So why don’t I drive you home and you can, you can get some rest.

None of this makes any sense, ma. After all those years of being held captive, bow doesn’t wanna go back to his family. To, to his life in Salem? No, he doesn’t. That’s why he is holding me here, Megan and Ra, for using those prisms to make a serum. And that’s why Megan was holding Marlena and Kate and I, because she wanted to use us as Guinea pigs to test out her youth serum.

And, and so that’s what Uncle Bell wants. Now the this serum, oh, that’s part of it, but he really wants, is to use it for a. A fortune. He wants to build his own empire like Victor did. Since when does Uncle Beau wanna be anything like Victor? He may have Keri’s blood, but he is always been a Brady at heart.

Mom, what is going on? None of this sounds like Uncle Bo. No, it doesn’t. He’s not himself. Not at all. And now I’m afraid that your father’s gonna pay the price.

A cross face,

no air events.

All right. Okay.

Take one.

My mom went to my grandfather’s childhood home. What? Why would she do that? Well, your cousin Stephanie, put together a list for places to search. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. My aunt Kayla mentioned something about Victor on the phone, and that’s the reason why you guys are searching his properties. Yeah, but my mom texted me yesterday and she said that the farm was a dead end.

Well, I was the one who searched the farm, and that’s what I told your mother. But that wasn’t really, that wasn’t really true. The place wasn’t empty. Okay. Well, did you find something? No. I found someone who? Your father?

I can’t. Paris didn’t tell me what I would find. Just said I would, I would understand what I got, but never, I mean, never in a million years I ever think. I think it would be you.

How. How is this possible? How that you’re here? That, that you’re, what am I dreaming? Am I? No. Is it real? No. Dream. And you’ve been here this whole time, just the past few days. Harris found you here? Yes. He found me.

I don’t understand. He told me this place was a deserted. If he knew you were here, why didn’t he tell me? Why did you lie to me? I told him to lie.

All right. Here you go, kid. Thanks. I don’t, don’t, don’t thank me yet. You know, I would’ve spiked yours, but I know you have to drive back to the field office, Coco Doc’s weakness, which you indulge. You know? I do. Hmm. No marshmallows. Those are only for Marlena. I can’t take my life on my hands by busting into her stash.

Hey, listen, before you showed up, I made up a late night snack here while I was working on the case. So, um, feel free to help yourself if you want. Thanks.

You thinking about Roman, huh? Isn’t it that obvious? Well, only to someone who knows the situation here. Well, I have reason to worry about him, don’t I? What with Bo being alive and learning that he’s the one who might have killed Kate. Yeah, it’s um, so after take in, that’s for damn sure. I just can’t help but think if there is a way that I put, if not told him, oh, no, no, no, no.

Can’t even think like that. Can’t tell him the truth. Uh, Even if it hurts, it’s always the right thing to do. And besides, we’re talking about Megan Hathaway here. I’m gonna, I’m gonna bet you dollars to donuts. There’s a hell of a lot more to the story than she’s saying. Certainly possible. I’m more like probable, you know, right now let’s just focus on getting Aunt Kayla back and, and there’s as crazy as the sounds bow, but you know what we need to keep in mind that.

The, if this is Bo and if he has done all these terrible things, we have to remember that he was under Megan’s influence, and I know from personal experience just how powerful. It influences, but I also know that it’s reversible. Yeah, that’s what I’m hoping for. Yeah, me too. So with any luck, this story ends with Bo getting well and reuniting himself with hope.

What are you thinking about? You don’t think that can happen? No, I, uh, I hope you’re right. That bow makes a full recovery and I know how happy that would make on hope. Mm-hmm. And the rest of the family for that matter, I guess I. I, I just can’t help thinking about Harris Michaels and how this is all going to affect him.

No, no, no. That’s, that’s not possible. You, you couldn’t have found my father cuz he’s dead. I, I know this is shocking and I know this is what you’ve all believed for a very long time, but I am telling you the truth. Your father is alive. Sean, I’m not lying to you.

Oh my God. I Wait, does my mom know I, oh, wait, wait. Hold on. Wait a second. Wait, wait, wait. You said that you found my father at Vicker’s Childhood Home, right? Wait, you told my mother that the place was empty? Yes, I did. Okay. Why would you lie to her? I like that. I was afraid to lose her. You, you said on a bitch you didn’t, you didn’t tell my mother that her own husband is alive, that you’re upset.

I felt terrible about that. That’s why I sent her to Victor’s home. And listen, I felt I knew. That she needed to see him for herself.

My God,

my, my father is, my father’s alive. There’s, there’s something else that you should know. What? He’s not the man. You remember

you told Harris. Not to tell me that you were here.

Why would you do that? I figured your boyfriend wouldn’t want the competition. You are involved with him, right? Yeah. I was, I thought you were dead.

Wow.

If I had known you were alive in the love of my life,

you’re the only one I want.

Yeah. Well, I don’t want you.

Okay, here we go.

How could Uncle Vo hold you and dad prisoner? I don’t know. I just, I just think that Megan got into his head somehow. I get that, I think. But no matter what’s going on with Uncle Vo, no matter how Megan May have messed with his head, you don’t think he’d hurt dad, do you? Well, he hasn’t so far. But that doesn’t change the fact that we need to get him out of the cellar, and we’re not gonna do that if we’re standing around here.

So when we all get back together, we can talk about how we’re gonna help fa

meeting you here.

Thomas Banks, you’re supposed to be in jail. Didn’t you get out? That’s a funny thing. Turns out cops are criminally underpaid, so you bribed them. And I wasn’t the first one. Some Americans swept, screwed ’em outta what they thought was theirs. Three very PCI prisms, speaking of which, I’ll be taking them with me.

And now that I got what I want, I’ll be on my way except for my revenge.

Harris Michaels, why would you be worried about him? I spent some time with him when he was being deprogrammed. He was so guilt ridden over what he had done under Megan’s control, his torture for him, the regret, the time lost. The only thing that seemed to lift his spirits was the possibility of a relationship without hope.

Only He was reluctant to pursue it because of. Well, sculpt of Uncle Beau. I see. But I encouraged him and told him to go for it. I mean, since Uncle Beau is thought to be dead and. Now that we know otherwise. I mean, obviously I’m thrilled for all of us, but I mean, after everything that Michael’s has been through, I hate to get his heart.

What do you mean? My father’s not the man I remember. I think he’s been brainwashed by Megan Hathaway. Look, I don’t, I don’t know who he was before, but something was off and he pulled a gun on me. Yeah. I mean, he doesn’t know you. I mean, he probably thought you were a threat. He knew Kate Roberts, right?

Yeah, of course he, he knows Kate. Would he perceive her as a threat? Where are you going with this? We know that Megan had Bo on the same island where she was holding Kate and the rest captive. Yeah. But we also know that Kate was killed by Thomas Banks. We don’t, we don’t know that Thomas Banks denies having anything to do with Kate’s murder.

Yeah. What do you expect him to do you think He’s just gonna confess? He, he has an alibi. No, no, no, no, no. There’s no way. There’s no way that my father would kill Kate. No.

Look, the father you knew wouldn’t have. But that’s what I’m, I’m trying to tell you, something’s changed. Look, I know what Megan’s brainwashing can do to somebody. Firsthand because it happened to me when I was under her control. I killed two men in cold blood and I have to live with that every single day and all the other horrible things I did when I wasn’t myself.

Okay, so do you wait, do you think, do you think that my father would hurt my mother if he’s under Megan’s controls? You think that my mother is in danger? I honestly, I don’t know, but I know how much they love each other. I know how strong their connection was. And if anybody can bring Bo out of this, it’s your mom.

And it’s just better if I wasn’t there. Damn it, we, if you don’t know what my father is capable of, why the hell did you send my mother out there alone?

You don’t want me. That’s what I said. You don’t mean it. You can’t mean it. You don’t. What’s the matter with you? What’s wrong? Foam? Are you angry? Are you mad? Are, do you blame me for not finding you sooner? Is that it? What? What is it?

If I had known that you were alive, I never would’ve stopped looking for you. I would’ve spent every waking second looking for you. Oh my God. All these years. All these years. Great. So worry. I was always there when I wake up in the morning when I get into bed.

Had lost you. Look at me.

I thought that I’d seen you for the last time I touched you for the last time I thought you were dead.

That was the last time.

I am no longer that man thanks to Rolf. You could say I was reborn.

Rolf,

you were a reborn Brady. Don’t call me that. What? Brady? That’s not who I am. Oh, it is. I am Victor. Kik, his son. I have Kiki’s blood running through my veins. I’m gonna make something of myself like he did. Why would you have to do that? You’re already a wonderful man. You’re a great husband. Grandfather, I know you’re, you’re a grandfather.

Wait until you meet. Little bow. So you’re named him after you.

He looks just like here, baby.

But you’re see for yourself. Our family and friends of love who missed you,

you’re gonna be so happy and thrilled when you come back home with me. I’m not going anywhere with you. You’re, yeah, you’re just like them. You don’t listen. Just like Steve and Kayla. Steve and Kayla, they are,

Kayla is taking care of something for me and Steve is locked up in the wine cellar.

Yeah, Steve locked up. Can’t let you do that. Put it down now

put it down.

Oh kid, it’s, uh, it’s kind of you to think of this guy. You know, it’s, um, you got a really big heart here, but if, if Michael’s loses hope, that’s not on you. If I encouraged him, yeah. With the best of intentions though, you know, love doesn’t come with any guarantee. I think you know that better than anybody.

I mean, I, I, I’ll go, I don’t wanna bring up something so personal here, but I think about you and my son Paul, quite a bit. You know, the, the connection that you two had, I found that to be really, really special. And then for one reason or another, you know, it just doesn’t work out. Uh, actually, I should probably let Paul tell you this, but.

He and I decided to give it another shot. No way. Yeah. Really nice. Can’t tell you how happy I’m for you. That’s great. Thanks. But with everything else going on, it just seems kind of trivial, trivial. Come on. What are you talking about, man? There’s nothing trivial about love. I, I’m not. Assuming that the two of you, I love running like that.

I’m just, I’m trying, I’m trying to, I really stuck my foot in an air, haven’t I? No, you haven’t. You haven’t. But you know, Paul and I haven’t gotten as far as to call it love. Yeah. And we know it could be a challenge, you know, making it work with my career with the ISA and his baseball career, but we realize that.

You think we have something really special? And you’re right. Something to hold onto. Um, we just wanna see how far it can go. Well, I am only wishing the two of you the very best and Andrew, you know, you know, God and I, we’ve, we’ve, we’ve had, you know, a lot of ups and gallons over the years, but I wouldn’t trade a moment of that.

You know, I guess what I’m, I’m trying to say is that there is a risk that, that relationships aren’t gonna work out. But, but what you have to do is you have to, you gotta weigh the rewards. And when you do that, that, that, that risk is what I hope my kids will always want to take

revenge. Obviously you’re the little bitch that shut my ear little off. He was an accident. I don’t think so. Judge Strap and me telling me a terrible story about Suzie’s fiery crash and then you didn’t hesitate to ma may Ma. Still says scratch. Quite honestly, it’s an improvement. I think I’m everything right.

You can’t blame Chad. You are struggling over the gun and whose fault was that missing? Because little blue eyes here, I gotta walk around Madison Earlobe now you know what they say? One good turn deserves another. My God, you are afraid that my father was gonna hurt my mother. Why didn’t you just go to the farm with her?

Who is that? Is that my mom that Stephanie, she and Chad are trying to track down Stephen K’s and sos. I know we’re there. I’ll go to them. You get to your mom as fast as you can

reach for the gun again, you’ll regret it. Okay.

I wanna check on Steve. Why don’t we both go to the cell and see how he’s doing. Steve is staying put.

You’re coming with me.

Chair girl, sweetness. Oh, where are we going? Where you taking me? I’m not taking you anywhere. This is the end of the line. You’re not making any sense. What are you talking about? The end of the line.

I can’t be the man I’m meant to be with you in the world.

That don’t mean to get too biblical, but it’s an ear for an ear, my friend. You can’t just shoot him. What if you miss? Oh, a pretty good shot, but. If I happen to hit there, just set it there. Well, it’s just collateral damage in it. Now you hold real steel. We would want you to lose your baby maker. Now, would we?

Looks like he showed up right there.

Hey. Oh, hi. Wheres Andrew? Well, he had to head back to the field office, finish up his report for the isa, and wanted to see how the investigation’s going on. Megan’s claims. How’d you leave Roman? Well, he was a lot calmer once I got him back to the pub. His head is spinning, you know, trying to imagine that Bowie has been alive all this time.

I can’t even wrap my head around this. I mean, all these years thinking that he was gone. Could he really be back?

How can you even say that and what in God’s name does that even mean? You can’t be the man you’re meant to be? If, if I’m in this world, don’t sing, I’m making a new life for myself, becoming the man I was born to be. And you people, you, you keep pulling at me, yapping at me. You’re like, and now here, here, you’re ruining everything.

I’m Victor Koch’s son, and I’m becoming the man I’m supposed to be. You keep trying to pull me back to that life. Oh God.

Back to that old love.

The only way I could be the man I’m meant to be.

This to get rid of you? No.

No. Dammit.

You’ll listen to Pete Brady and Yes. Yes. That that is your name and that is who you are. You’re pro Brady the best man. I know. You’re the love of my life. It’ll never, ever change. Just like I know that you are in love for me, it’s never gonna change it no matter what you say or what you do. You’ll never convince me otherwise because you know what?

There is one fundamental truth between, between you and Megan that is that we love each other to the very depths of our soul.

So don’t matter what happens here today, nothing will ever extinguish that love. Not anything. Ralph couldn’t do it. Nobody else could either. So many people both have tried to keep us up. Barbara, they couldn’t do it. They couldn’t,

and so many things, so, So many obstacles. So many obstacles have stood in our way. And you know what? We’ve overcome them, every single one of them. So you could stand there with that gun pointing at me with your finger on the trigger, telling yourself that you’re better off without me. But you know what, you’ll never, ever really believe it, because what’s what’s talking at you?

It’s your heart. It’s the truest, purest part of you and it knows the only place you belong is with faith,

with your fancy face. I’m your fancy.

Just told me I should write fight songs. That’s what we do half the time. We’ve been together forever through thicker and dinner, like the day that we promised.

The best

with friendships and.

Make me much better ever.

Easy At times it’s unruly. Sometimes it comes at

the deep in.

And the,

I still love you.

I still love you.

You

are the one true love of my life. I love you.

Fancy– Fancy Face?

Days of Our Lives Update

Days of Our Lives logo

Update written by Joseph

John questions what Andrew means by saying Bo has Kayla. Roman asks if he’s saying that his brother Bo is alive. Andrew knows it sounds crazy but that’s what Megan told them. Marlena declares that’s who it was then. John asks what she’s talking about. Marlena explains that they had found another cryogenic tube and assumed Megan was keeping someone else alive but didn’t know who. Marlena adds they thought it might be Stefano but Dr. Rolf said it wasn’t and he was about to tell them who it was but Megan interrupted. Roman asks what she is saying. Marlena responds that she thinks Megan might have been telling the truth.

Harris tells Megan on the phone that they are done and there is nothing left to say. Harris then hangs up and Shawn shows up at his door. Harris invites him in and asks why he’s here in Greece. Shawn responds that after Hope told him that Kayla and Steve are missing, he decided to come see if he could help. Shawn asks if there’s any leads but Harris says there has not been a word. Shawn mentions Hope not being in her room, so he assumes she is out looking for them now. Shawn asks if he knows where Hope is at. Harris confirms that he does.

Steve bangs on the wine cellar door, asking if anyone is out there. Steve decides he has to get himself out.

Stephanie tells Kayla how good it is to see her and asks where Steve is. Kayla responds that Steve is not there as he’s being held captive. Stephanie questions who is holding him. Kayla responds that it’s her Uncle Bo.

Hope arrives at Victor’s childhood home with her gun raised and asks if anyone is there. Hope looks around the house, asking if anyone is there. Bo then comes in behind her, leaving Hope in shock.

Roman can’t believe Bo is alive. John calls it one for the books, even for Salem. Roman questions if Megan has kept him locked away in a cryogenic tube all this time. Andrew confirms that’s what it sounds like. Roman argues that if Bo has Kayla then Kayla is okay because Bo wouldn’t hurt his own sister or anybody. Andrew is not so sure that’s true. Roman insists that he knows Bo. Andrew states that he knows how Bo used to be, but reveals that Megan also told them that Bo is the one who killed Kate.

Steve tries breaking down the door but can’t and decides there has to be another way out.

Stephanie questions Kayla saying that Bo is alive. Chad asks if she actually saw him. Kayla confirms that she managed to get away from Dr. Rolf on the island and ran right in to Bo. Kayla explains that Megan had Bo cryogenically preserved just like she and Marlena were. Chad questions why Bo didn’t just take Kayla back to Salem if they managed to escape. Kayla responds that Bo doesn’t want to go back to Salem.

Hope questions if this is possible and if she’s really seeing what she thinks she is seeing. Hope asks Bo if it’s really him as she puts her gun down. Hope approaches Bo and touches his face as she begins to cry and hugs him.

Roman argues that it’s not possible because Bo would not kill anyone, let alone his wife Kate. Andrew says he did not want to believe it but Megan was adamant that it was not Thomas Banks, it was Bo. John questions believing a word from Megan. Roman wants to go back to the prison to get the truth out of Megan tonight. Andrew argues that Roman is a civilian and it’s long past visiting hours. Andrew adds that there is no guarantee that Megan would give them any more information. John doubts Megan will change her story now. Roman says he’ll give her a reason. Marlena tells Roman that he won’t do that because it’s not who he is. Roman questions what the hell he’s supposed to be and if he’s supposed to wait around to find out if his brother killed the woman he loves. Marlena knows it’s hard on him but argues they are focusing way too much on Megan. Marlena declares that they aren’t getting any more answers tonight. Marlena offers to drive Roman home so he can get some rest.

Stephanie tells Kayla that none of this makes any sense and questions Bo not wanting to go back to his family and life in Salem after all these years. Kayla confirms he doesn’t and says that’s why he’s holding her here. Kayla explains that Megan and Dr. Rolf used the prisms to create a youth serum and that’s why Megan had her and Marlena to use as guinea pigs. Stephanie questions this serum being what Bo wants now. Kayla says that’s part of it but he really wants to build his own empire like Victor did. Stephanie questions when Bo ever wanted to be like Victor since he’s always been a Brady at heart. Stephanie asks what’s going on since none of this sounds like uncle Bo. Kayla agrees that it doesn’t at all but now she’s afraid that Steve is going to pay the price.

Steve searches the wine cellar but can’t find a crawl space or an air vent. Steve grabs a spoon and begins digging away at one of the room’s old walls.

Harris tells Shawn that Hope is at Victor’s childhood home. Harris explains that he checked it yesterday and he didn’t find something, but someone. Harris then reveals that it was Shawn’s father.

Hope cries that she still can’t believe this as Harris didn’t tell her what she would find here and just that she would understand when she got there. Hope says she never in a million years thought it would be Bo. Hope asks Bo how this is possible that he’s here and alive. Hope asks if she’s dreaming. Bo confirms it’s not a dream. Hope asks if Bo has been here the whole time. Bo says it’s just been the last few days. Hope asks about Harris finding him and says she doesn’t understand since Harris told her the place was deserted. Hope questions why Harris lied to her if he knew Bo was there. Bo responds that he told Harris to lie.

John has cocoa with Andrew. John guesses Andrew is thinking about Roman. Andrew feels he has reason to worry about him with Bo being alive and learning that Bo might have killed Kate. John calls that a lot to take in. Andrew can’t help but think if there’s a way he could have not told Roman. John encourages him not to think like that because telling the truth is always the right thing to do. John bets that there’s more to the story than Megan is saying. John suggests they just focus on getting Kayla back and as crazy as it sounds, Bo. John adds that they need to keep in mind that if Bo has done all these terrible things, they have to remember he was under Megan’s influence and he knows how powerful that can be but also that it’s reversible. John declares that if all goes well, the story will end with Bo getting better and reuniting with Hope. Andrew hopes John is right that Bo makes a full recovery and he knows how happy that would make Hope and the rest of the family. Andrew adds that he can’t help thinking about Harris Michaels and how this is all going to affect him.

Shawn tells Harris that it’s impossible because his father is dead. Harris responds that he knows that’s what they’ve all believed but assures that he found him. Harris insists that he’s not lying to him. Shawn is shocked and asks if Hope knows. Shawn questions Harris finding Bo at Victor’s childhood home and then telling Hope that the place was empty. Shawn asks why he would lie to her like that. Harris admits that he was afraid to lose her. Shawn calls him a son of a bitch for not telling Hope that Bo is alive. Harris gets that he’s upset and explains that’s why he sent Hope to Victor’s home because he knew that Hope needed to see Bo for herself. Shawn reiterates that he can’t believe his father is alive. Harris adds that there’s something else he should know and states that Bo is not the man that Shawn remembers.

Hope questions Bo telling Harris not to tell her that he was here and asks why he would do that. Bo remarks that he figured her boyfriend wouldn’t want the competition since she is involved with him. Hope confirms that she is or was but cries that she thought Bo was dead. Hope calls Bo the love of her life and cries that he’s the only one she wants. Hope hugs Bo, but Bo then responds that he doesn’t want her.

Steve continues digging a hole in to the wall of the wine cellar.

Stephanie asks Kayla how Bo could hold her and Steve prisoner. Kayla responds that Megan messed with Bo’s head. Stephanie understands but asks if Kayla really thinks Bo would hurt Steve. Kayla points out that he hasn’t so far but they still need to get Steve out of the cellar which they can’t do by standing around. Kayla decides when they get back together, they can figure out how to help Bo. Thomas Banks then bursts in to the lab with his gun raised. Chad questions how he got out of jail. Thomas implies bribing the cops and swipes the prisms that Kayla had. Thomas says he now got what he wanted, except for his revenge as he aims his gun at Chad.

John asks why Andrew would be worried about Harris. Andrew explains that he spent some time with Harris while he was being deprogrammed and he was so guilt ridden over what Megan did to him and he was tortured by the time lost. Andrew adds that the only thing that seemed to lift his spirits was the possibility of a relationship with Hope but he was reluctant to pursue it because of Bo. Andrew admits that he encouraged Harris to go for it since Bo was thought to be dead but now that they know otherwise, he’s thrilled for all of them but after everything Harris has been through, he hates to see him get his heart broken.

Shawn questions Harris saying his father is not the man he remembers. Harris thinks Bo was brainwashed by Megan and mentions that he pulled a gun on him. Shawn argues that Bo doesn’t know him and probably thought he was a threat. Harris asks if he perceived Kate as a threat. Shawn asks where he’s going with this. Harris brings up Kate being on the island with the others. Shawn says they know she was killed by Thomas Banks. Harris argues that they don’t know that because Thomas denies it. Shawn questions just expecting him to confess. Harris informs Shawn that Thomas has an alibi. Shawn argues that there is no way that his father would kill Kate. Harris says the father he knew wouldn’t have but he’s telling him that something has changed. Harris knows what Megan’s brainwashing can do to somebody because it happened to him. Harris brings up that when he was under her control, he killed two men in cold blood and he has to live with that every day along with all the horrible things he did. Shawn asks Harris if he thinks Bo would hurt Hope and if he thinks Hope is in danger. Harris admits that he doesn’t know but he knows how much they loved each other and how strong their connection was, so if anybody can bring Bo out of this, it’s Hope. Harris feels it’s just better if he wasn’t there. Shawn angrily questions why the hell Harris sent Hope out there alone if he doesn’t know what Bo is capable of.

Hope questions Bo saying he doesn’t want her. Hope argues that he doesn’t mean that. Hope asks what is the matter with him. Hope asks if Bo is angry or mad or if he blames her for not finding him sooner. Hope argues that if she knew he was alive, she never would’ve stopped looking for him and would have spent every second looking for him. Hope cries about all these years of grief over thinking she had lost him. Hope states that she thought she had seen him for the last time and that he was dead. Bo says that was the last time because he’s no longer that man. Bo declares that thanks to Dr. Rolf, he was reborn. Bo tells her not to call him Brady because that’s not who he is. Bo declares that he is Victor Kiriakis’ son with Kiriakis blood running through his veins, so he’s going to make something of himself like Victor did. Hope asks why he would have to do that when he’s already someone. Hope calls him a great father, husband, and now a grandfather. Hope tells him that Ciara named her son after him and he looks just like Ciara did as a baby. Hope encourages that Bo will see himself as their family and friends have missed him and they will be so happy and thrilled when he comes back home with her. Bo shouts that he’s not going anywhere with her and complains that she doesn’t listen, just like Steve and Kayla. Hope then asks if Steve and Kayla are here. Bo responds that Kayla is taking care of something for him and Steve is locked up in the wine cellar.

Steve continues digging a hole in the wall and manages to push it through.

Hope questions Steve being locked up and reaches for her gun but Bo pulls his gun and says he can’t let her do that as he orders her to put it down.

John tells Andrew that it’s kind of him to think of Harris, but if he loses Hope, that’s not on him. Andrew points out that he encouraged Harris to go after her. John understands he had the best intentions. John comments that love doesn’t come with any guarantees and knows Andrew can relate. John brings up the connection Andrew had with his son Paul and thinking it was really special but it didn’t work out. Andrew then reveals that he and Paul have decided to give it another shot which excites John. Andrew says it feels trivial with everything else going on. John encourages that there is nothing trivial about love. Andrew talks about how he and Paul know it can be a challenge to make it work with their careers, but they realize they have something really special and he agrees it’s something to hold on to, so he wants to see how far it can go. John wishes them the best. John says he and Marlena had ups and downs over the years but he wouldn’t trade a moment of that. John feels there is a risk that relationships won’t work out but you have to weigh the rewards. John hopes his kids will always want to take that risk.

Stephanie sends a text while Thomas calls Chad the little bitch that shot his ear off. Stephanie calls it an accident. Thomas disagrees and argues that Chad didn’t hesitate to maim him. Stephanie argues that he can’t blame Chad when they were struggling over the gun. Thomas blames Chad and remarks that one good turn deserves another as he holds the gun up to Chad’s ear.

Shawn again questions Harris as to why he didn’t go to the farm with Hope if he was afraid that Bo was going to hurt her. Harris then gets a text from Stephanie that says SOS. Harris tells Shawn that he knows where they are, so he’ll go to them while Shawn gets to Hope as fast as they can and they rush out together.

Bo warns Hope that if she reaches for her gun again, she’ll regret it. Hope suggests they both go to the wine cellar to check on Steve. Bo responds that Steve is staying put, but Hope is coming with him.

Steve reaches through the hole in the wall and finds the door handle to unlock it. Steve escapes the wine cellar and goes to look for Kayla.

Bo brings Hope outside to the edge of a cliff. Hope asks where they are going. Bo tells her that they aren’t going anywhere and this is the end of the line. Hope questions what he means. Bo complains that he can’t be the man he’s meant to be in this world with her in it.

Thomas Banks tells Chad that it’s an ear for an ear. Stephanie asks what if he misses. Thomas argues that he’s a good shot and anything else is just collateral damage. Thomas warns Chad to hold still. Harris then bursts in and grabs Thomas from behind. Harris chokes Thomas out and declares that it looks like he showed up right in time.

Marlena returns home and asks John where Andrew went. John explains that he went to go check in with the ISA for any updates on Megan’s claims. John asks Marlena how she left Roman. Marlena responds that he was a lot calmer once she got him back to the Pub but his head is spinning, imagining that Bo has been alive all this time. John says he can barely wrap his head around it and questions if Bo could really be alive after all these years.

Steve searches the house for Kayla and Bo. Steve finds Hope’s gun and then exits.

Hope asks how Bo can say that and what that even means. Bo tells Hope that he’s making a new life for himself and becoming the man he was born to be. Bo complains that people keep pulling at him and now Hope is here, ruining everything. Bo screams that he’s Victor’s son and becoming the man he’s supposed to be while Hope keeps trying to pull him back to that life. Bo then gets a headache as he starts having flashbacks to his relationship with Hope. Bo declares that the only way he can be the man he’s meant to be is to get rid of Hope. Bo then aims his gun at Hope. Hope says no and tells Bo to listen to her. Hope calls him Bo Brady and says that is who he is, the best man she knows and the love of her life which will never change. Hope adds that she knows his love for her is never going to change no matter what he says or does. Hope declares that the one fundamental truth between them is that they love each other to the very depths of their soul. Bo continues having flashbacks. Hope adds that no matter what happens here, nothing will ever extinguish their love. Hope says so many people tried to keep them apart but they couldn’t do it and they’ve overcome every obstacle in their way. Hope says Bo can tell himself that he’s better off without her but he will never believe it. Hope adds that his heart is tugging at him because it’s the truest part of him and it knows he belongs with her. Hope reminds Bo that she is his Fancyface as they flashback to their relationship over the years. Bo holds back tears as Hope seems to have gotten through to him, but Shawn and Steve arrive and upon seeing Bo holding Hope at gunpoint, Shawn shoots Bo. Hope then rushes to Bo’s side to check on him and cries over him on the ground.

Recap written by Michele and Cheryl

Roman went to John and Marlena’s place. When John was about to tell Roman about Marlena, she came out. Roman was shocked to see her. He asked her about Kate. Harris thought about the deal he made with Bo not to tell anyone that he is alive. Hope went to see him. She wondered why Megan would lie about Thomas taking Kayla. Harris said he had something to tell her. Steve told Kayla that once Bo brought her the equipment for the serum, they would have chemicals. He said they could disarm Bo and be free. Bo came in the wine cellar and told Kayla they were leaving. He said he found a Titan research lab with everything she needed for the serum. Steve said Kayla was leaving over his dead body. Bo said that could be arranged. At Statesville, a guard brought Megan to see Andrew. He told her the deal was off since she lied about who took Kayla. She stood by her story. He said Thomas was in a sex club when Kate was killed and Kayla disappeared. He said there were witnesses that could testify seeing him there. He threatened her unless she told him who took Kayla. Chad and Stephanie talked about who kidnapped her parents. Chad said the kidnapper hasn’t asked for a ransom and let Kayla use the phone. He said the person wasn’t a real criminal. He said the person probably wasn’t taking orders from Megan because she was in prison. He said their best clue was Kayla saying Victor’s name. He said she was probably at one of his properties. Bo told Steve separating them gives Kayla an incentive to so what he wanted. He said they could go back to their lives once he got the serum. Steve asked what would happen if someone came looking for them. Bo said that wouldn’t happen. He said someone came by but they wouldn’t be back. Steve and Kayla wanted to know who it was. Bo said it didn’t matter. He took Kayla out of the wine cellar. Steve banged on the door.

Harris told Hope how much he cared about her. He apologized for the role he played in what her family was going through. She said she knew he was doing all he could to help. She said she hoped the sketch artist would give them a lead. Chad and Stephanie called to let Hope know they were searching the properties on the list. Harris started to feel guilty. Marlena told Roman that Kate was alive, but she was killed on the island. He wondered whose ashes he had. She told him Steve went looking for Kayla. He wanted to choke Megan. John told them Hope and Harris were looking for Kayla. Roman wondered if Harris could be trusted. Kayla started to get through to Bo, but it didn’t last. He told her once he had the serum, he would sell it to the highest bidder. He said everyone would know their names. She said she didn’t want this. Bo said that was the Brady way – humble and quiet. He said he was never those things. He left the lab and locked her in. Hope told Harris they should go to the police. He said there was no need to do that. He said he lied when he told her he didn’t find anything at Victor’s. She said she should go there and find out on her own. They kissed before she left. Megan called Harris. She said if he wanted a chance with Hope, he had to take her far away. He said it was too late for both of them. Chad found a locked door. Kayla grabbed a tray as the door handle moved. Stephanie picked the lock. Kayla raised the tray over her head when Chad and Stephanie came in the room. Kayla put the tray down and hugged Stephanie. Andrew went to John and Marlena’s place. He told them Megan changed her story. He said the person who took Kayla was Bo. Hope had her gun when she looked around Victor’s childhood home. Someone came in behind her. She turned around and pointed her gun. She was shocked when she saw Bo.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Yeah. Who the hell is that at this time of night?

Whoa. And you’re home. Home. You were in Bed Man’s, your. I forgot. I’ll go. No, no. I’ll, no, no, no. Get your butt in here. Come on, man. I’m nowhere near going to bed. You now you look beat. Have a seat. Yeah. Well, yes I am. Uh, the, uh, flight got in late to here. I, uh, couldn’t sleep on the plane. I, it’s way too late. I shouldn’t, I’m doing some work here.

Eating a sandwich. You want some food? I’m, I’m getting you a sandwich. You want a drink? I’m good. Good. All right. No, I’ve, um, been trying to get ahold of you buddy. Yeah. I was in Ireland to, uh, you know, scatter Katie’s ashes. Yeah, I know. And then I spent a few days with Carrie and Austin and, uh, Billy and Chelsea.

So that was good. Yeah. Few days, huh? So what you um, lost track of time. You’ve been gone a hell of a lot longer than that. Yeah. Well, I. Went out the grid for a while. I just needed some, uh, time to myself to kind of, you know, get it together before I came back home without Kate. Yeah, I get that.

A few things I need to tell you. First of all, Steven, I, we found Megan Hathaway. Did you kill her? No. No, but she’s in custody. She’s paying for what she did. Not enough. Roman, there’s something else that you need to know, and this is, this is kind of complicated, John. I thought I heard somebody.

Sure. You don’t want something to eat? No, I, I wanna get. As soon as I get this list of Victor’s properties in order so that we don’t keep doubling back. Some of these places are up in the mountains. This could take forever.

Oh God. Jen, how can this be happening? Hey, listen. Look at me. Your parents are fine. I’m sure of it. How can you be? How can I be? Well, cuz what we’re talking about, Steven, Kayla. The meanest sons of bitches in the valley.

Maybe that’s Andrew.

You found them? We found where they were being held. Steph, when we stormed in to try to rescue them, there was resistance. Resistance. The people who were holding them were armed and they fought back. Steph, they were caught in a crossfire. Both of them. I’m sorry. They died. No, no, no. What, what? What was a nightmare?

He said they were dead. Who? No, nobody’s. Nobody’s dead. They’re not dead. They’re okay.

It’s best for both of us. If you think about. For hope too. She started a whole new life. She’s moved on with you and you guys, you, you have a good thing going. Why break her heart again? So she’s all yours. You get the girl, I get my new life without her win-win as long as you keep this little conversation of ours.

Between us, so I’m, we’re supposed to pretend I never saw you deceive hope and let her believe that her husband’s dead. Yeah. But the way I see it, you’re not really deceiving her from my point of view. That husband is dead.

Yeah. I started on the list. I, I went to Victor Kiki’s, uh, childhood Home. Oh funny. Paris, did you find anything? No, uh, nothing at all. It was, uh, place was deserted.

Hi, did I?

How can you tell the days are just running into each other? Oh, it won’t be much longer. Now why do he say that? Well pause. Bringing to that lab equipment, right? So you can make that serum he’s so obsessed with, which would be a nightmare. You don’t have to worry about that because when we get that equipment, it’ll be a game changer.

How so? Because we’ll be able to arm ourselves. There’ll be chemicals, some metal instruments. Steve Bo has a gun. Yes. Well, listen, I’ll draw his fire white. No, no, no, no. I am not gonna hurt him. He’s my brother. I’m not gonna hurt him. Just disarm him. We’ll get the hell outta here and then we’ll get Beau the help he needs.

Fries and shine. Oh, only one ball this time, huh? Yeah. Didn’t wanna be wearing your meal again. So thanks to you. You have cold leftover fish stoop. Come on, Kate. Get up. We’re leaving.

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

What the hell time? Is it time for you to have a visitor at this hour? Who is.

Special agent Andrew Donovan Isa. Hello, Ms. Hathaway. We need to talk

here. Ru, I think you better sit down. Yeah. Hey buddy. Come on. Take. Come on. It’s her. Pardon? Where the hell? That was what I was just about to tell you. When we tracked Megan down, we not only found Marna, but we found Kayla too. Of Yes. Yes. Alive.

I, I don’t understand. We were right. Megan is the one that stole the orchid from Kristen. She, Dr. Ralphs manufacturer serum to cure them, and then he kept them in a cryogenic state. Okay. It’s a lot to take in. Yeah. My God. Funeral. She’s alive. My God. That’s wonderful. That’s incredible. Hmm. Oh my God. But what about Kate?

It was just so real. Andrew came and he, he told me my parents were dead.

I know what nightmares are. When I lost Abby, I, uh, I was afraid to close my eyes. Chad, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to No, no, no. Don’t I That’s, I, I, I’m just saying that I know how scared you must be. I really do believe we’re gonna find them alive. That’s weird. What is, you said that in my nightmare, you’re.

Even in a nightmare. Thank you. I couldn’t get through this without you. I wouldn’t let you think about this. We’re making progress. We’re getting closer. Are we? I mean, now that we know that it wasn’t Thomas Banks who took my mom, to me it feels like we don’t even have a clue of who we’re dealing with, let alone why.

Where are we going? Not you? Just her. She’s not her. She’s your sister. Okay. Beautiful. Sister of mine. I have found a Titan Research Lab, brand new. I don’t think anyone’s used it, but it has everything you say. You need to create the formula for the sear. So, yep, we’ve got the orchid, the prisms, everything we need.

Let’s go over my dead body. Hmm. That could be arranged.

Not yet, nothing. What, what’d he ask? Uh, because you look like you haven’t slept. Yeah. It’s just, you know, it’s uncomfortable and I, I can’t stop worrying about Steven, Kayla. Yeah, me too. I, last night I was racking my brain trying to figure out why banks was telling Stephanie and Chad. He said he wanted them to lead him to Kayla, but why does he even care about Kayla?

And why did Megan lie to us about her? Really did take her, she must be protecting someone, right? The question is, who does she care enough about to protect? The fact is that she is crazy too. Yeah, very crazy. But she’s definitely not stupid. She never does anything without reason. A self-serving reason.

Harris, it’s so frustra. There are so many questions and no good answers. Listen, hope

there’s something I have to tell you.

You know, I really do think it’s, it’s good that it wasn’t Thomas Banks that took your mom and that guy is extremely dangerous. He tried to kill hope, but whoever has her and my dad may be worse. I don’t think so. I’m whoever did this was sophisticated enough to waltz into a police station, impersonating Shane Donovan, and walk out with your dad without raising any suspicions.

Chad, that’s terrifying. That means that he’s really, really good at being a criminal. Yeah, I’m, I’m, I’m not so sure. I mean, if it’s the same person who took both your parents, he let your mom get to his cell phone. He hasn’t made any random demands. So then what does he want? I don’t know. I mean, that’s the question.

He can’t be taking orders from Megan Hathaway. If he ever was because she’s in prison. Isa swept the island and found her Ralph and a whole lot of jungle, and there aren’t a lot of people that it could be when you get your detective badge. Well, your dad taught you how to pick locks. Mine was a master criminal.

You ask yourself, what would Stefan out do? Something like that. Yeah. And like I, I, I still think the best clue we have is the one your mom gave us when she said Victor’s name. I think she’s gonna be at one of his properties. I mean, we. You still have a few to check out? I really do believe we’re gonna find them today.

You just gotta have faith. Okay. I’m trying. I’m trying.

Agent Donovan, what brings you to Salem? You. Oh, you’re a bit young for me, but I am flattered, especially since I have to make a hundred license plates in order to afford toothpaste. So don’t suppose we can add toiletries to the dla. I’d assume they were included. Hmm? You say you don’t like it here? No, I’m just trying to score some toothpaste.

Well, that’s not going to work. You can’t add anything to the deal because the deal is off. You can’t do that. I told you who took Kayla. Yeah. And you lied.

Steve told. Come on. If I let him take you outta here, I might never see you again. You keep this up, you won’t. Okay, come on. If I keep you guys apart, you have incentive to work faster to get back to him. Okay? Let’s just say that I could even do it. How do I know for sure you are gonna let me get back to him?

I’m not. I am not here to ruin your lives. You give me what I need. You get your lives back. As long as he behaves himself. What if somebody comes looking for us while you’re gone? You said Chad and Stephanie were, were here and, and Hope and Michael, no one is coming. How can you be so sure? Because someone stopped by yesterday and they won’t be coming back.

Do you have something to tell me? It is. It,

uh, just, um, you know how much I, I care about you. I’m. You’re sorry for what? Well, I, um, I just feel like you know, what you and your family are going through is at least, it’s partly it’s my fault. Harris,

you, you’re doing everything you can now to help us.

Yeah, well I better get dressed standing here. Oh, hold on a second. The cop at the station last night, he gave me the most basic description as use kidnapper, brown hair, brown eyes, a medium build, and that could be almost anyone, right? I hope the plays artist is back at the precinct today.

If we can get a decent sketch of this guy then, then we’ll know who we’re looking for.

Sure. You, you saying that Kate was alive and now she’s. I’m so sorry. I I would’ve tried to help her. I, I couldn’t do anything. Well, I know you would have if you could have, but the Isha in not iron if they’re not hers. Who’s it? We don’t know. And her body, well, the ISA searched the island. They haven’t been able to located,

I dunno. Why is this hitting me so hard? I mean, I had already accepted the fact that she was gone. It’s a lot to process. First you saw me alive and then, then you heard that Kayla’s alive as well, but I wasn’t there when she died. She had to be so frightened. Why? And God’s named and May didn’t have to kill her.

Well, well, and she said she didn’t, said it was someone who worked for her. This is who you think has Kayla. No, we’re not sure about that. Megan said that Thomas Banks is the one who took killing. Thomas Banks is in custody in Greece. He’s denying everything. Well, of course he is. Apparently he has an ironclad alibi and Brady said Kristen sold him a bill of goods about Megan Recanting in the Nu Recanting.

Your story. So all this is tracking. There’s something else you should know. Steve went to look for Kayla. Now he’s missing as well. Damn. So Megan took Kate from me now once, but twice. And now she’s the reason that Kayla and Steve are missing. What is she? She cut a deal to do her time in State’s film. Okay, good.

I don’t have far to go to choke the truth out her. I did not.

The, the word he is arrested Thomas Banks and he insists he didn’t kidnap Kayla. That he didn’t kill Kate Roberts. Well, what else is he gonna say? Shirley, you didn’t believe him? I did because he has an alibi for when Kate was killed and when Kayla disappeared. He was a Aristotle’s retreat. The sex club.

Ding, ding, ding. You got it. And there’s an orgy full of people who can verify his whereabouts. I can’t imagine Thomas going at it with even one person, let alone in orgy full. That is the most ridiculous alibi I can imagine. Hmm. Well, it all checks out. But back to us, our deal was based on you supplying information that would lead us to Kayla, but you didn’t supply information.

Instead, you lied through your teeth. And those lies, in fact, led us off on a wild goose chase that impeded our efforts to find her. You will be remanded to a black site that makes Statesville look like the Ritz.

You know, the, the sketch artist is, uh, it’s a good idea. Yeah, I know it’s a long shot, but what else have we got? Michaels? It’s us. Okay. Hi. And I’m glad you’re here too, right, Marilyn, how are you holding up? Um, pretty well. Only the occasional meltdown. Good morning, Chad. Good morning. So should, uh, should we write up the list like we did before?

I think guys a great idea. We have three sites left on ours. Yeah, same here. Okay. Should we go now again, again, I will reiterate, if you do find anything, please call us right away. Okay. Whoever took your mom and dad is probably just as dangerous as banks. Got it.

What’s up? I just, I can’t wrap my mind. You say that the ISA searched that whole island? Yeah. Yeah, that’s right. And if Megan Hathaway and Dr. Wolf and now Thomas Banks are all in jail and someone had to have taken my mom, there wasn’t anyone else left on that island.

What do you mean somebody was here? Was it Stephanie? Answer me, relax. Cowboy wasn’t Stephanie then who? It doesn’t matter who they were here, they checked this place off their list and they won’t be coming back. So you are not gonna be rescued unless you do what I ask. So step back, you move a muscle.

You’re dead to the door. Kayla. Move Kayla. Move Steve.

Roman, nobody’s going to let you see Megan tonight. And even if, even if you could see her, she will not tell you anything. Patty could screw up our chance to pick up on. I gotta do something to help find him. I failed Kate. I can’t fail. Caleb, you did not fail. If anybody failed pain, I did. I was there. We’re, we’re not gonna do this now here in Rome, the thing.

Chad and Stephanie. They’re over in Greece right now. They’re going through Vic’s old properties. Harris and Hope are heading up the Issa investigation over there. Michaels is there. Yeah. Issa broke through his programming. He’s on our side now. Are you sure about that?

Poor girl has been through so much. Stephanie’s scared shouldn’t be happening to her. This is getting to you, isn’t it? I am sorry, Harris. You’ve lost so much of your own life and now you’re putting on hold to help me find people you don’t even know.

I’m not saying.

You’re definitely not a saint.

Okay?

Saints sometimes can be boring. And you’re definitely look boring. It’s fine. Steve and Kaylan bring them home. Okay? Because as I remember, you and I have, um, plans after all this is over.

Isn’t this place great. Has all the supplies. You said you needed it. Yeah. Yeah, great. Ralph was able to put the serum together in just a couple of days, so it shouldn’t take you too long. No pressure, eh? Just relax. Focus on your work. Don’t do anything stupid. Cause you know I have your precious, Steve, you get it?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I get right. You’re gonna coerce me into doing something that I don’t want by using the people I love as leverage. Yeah. Oh yeah. I got that. Good. So tell me something, Mr. Whoever you are, let’s just say I happen to figure out Hira. What happens? Then you release me and what. Do I ever see you again?

Don’t see why you’d want to. I’m giving every reason to hate me. Listen to me, Bo. When our mother brought you home from the hospital, she placed you in my arms and she said, you know what baby girl, this is for you. And I have loved you since you were a little baby, and to the man that you became to this moment right now.

So you asked me do I want him? Yes. I want him back. I want my brother back.

I’m gonna lock you in here. I’ll be back tomorrow. Tell me one thing if I make that serum, promise me that you will use it for good.

I will sell the formula to the highest. And everyone will know my name. Yours too, if you want. I don’t want, that’s the Brady Way. Humble and quiet. I was never either one of those things.

We should hedge the police station.

There’s no reason to go to the police station. I know it’s a long shot, but we, there’s just something that, that I have to.

I have to tell you. Okay.

You need to go to Victor’s childhood home. You already searched it. You told me there was nothing. There was nothing there. I know I lied.

Oh, what the hell do I do?

This place seems deserted. So there’s one more door.

Sorry, little brother of mine. No one is standing in the way of me getting back to my family.

Please. You can’t send me away. Actually, I can and I will. I’ll get you the formula. You’ll be rich. I’m not interested.

That’s right. You’re from the Law and Order branch of the Brady Bunch, aren’t you? All I want is to find my aunt and uncle. Your uncle Steve went to Greece to look for Kayla and now he’s missing too. You wanna keep our deal then? Tell me the. Tell me who really took Kayla. Then when and if we find her safe, I’ll let you stay here in Statesville, but if we don’t find her safe, you’ll find out firsthand that the Law and Order branch of the Brady Bunch can be pretty ruthless when exacting revenge.

So you better start talking right. Why did you lie? Why didn’t you want us to find Kayla? That’s not it, Steven. Hope so. Happy to go chasing after Thomas Banks.

And finally they knew who really took Kayla,

that it wasn’t about to give hope, the satisfaction knowing that her beloved bow, he’s alive again.

If that’s not it, then what is

we are going to find this guy with or without your. How do you know it’s a guy? He showed up at a police station in Greece, impersonating my dad. That’s when he took Steve. Oh. And those, uh, prisms, you were ready to kill for prisms. We have a general idea of where he is and a general description of what he looks like.

So if we figure this all out before you help us, your leverage is gone. So what’s it gonna be here in Statesville or the seventh circle of hell?

You lied? What do you mean? I’m.

Uh, this, this isn’t, um, it’s not making any sense. Why? Why would you lie about that? You said you wanted to help. I, I, I did. I do.

You’re just gonna have to go and see for yourself. I am not understanding any of this. You will when you get there and I, I go with you, but it’s something that you have to do on your own. That’s all you’re gonna tell me.

Oh, oh God. Oh. Oh my God.

Look at you. Are you okay? I’m. Fine, thank God. Where’s dad? Is anyone out there?

Hey.

Hello.

Anybody here?

Michaels. Yeah, I’ll take the call.

What the hell do you want? Listen to me. If you want a chance with hope, any chance at all, you will take her right now and you will go far, far away. That’s too late for both of us.

Okay? I know D I S A D program, Michaels, and I know what a big party he played in tracking down. But are you sure he is not playing both sides? Him. You work with him? She’s convinced he is no longer under Megan’s influence. Okay, good. And he’s looking for Kayla and Steve because, cause he knows that he has a lot to make up for far to impress hope.

Mo’s gotta be turning over and he could look, I was under Megan’s and fonts, so I know what it’s like to be in Michael’s shoes here, and I think he deserves a. I agree, John. I do agree, and like I said, I know how big a part Michael’s play in tracking down menu. Are you going, well, I’m going to Greece or Statesville?

I don’t know. I’m not gonna sit around here and do nothing. Oh, oh my God. Look at that thing. Let’s find out. Hey, Andrew, I just, uh, saw your lights were on and you’re gonna want to hear this. Uncle Roman. Andrew didn’t know you were back. What are we gonna want to hear? I just came from Statesville. Now that we have Tom Spanks, Megan Hathaway has changed her story.

Well, what is, so, how do you know she’s telling the truth this time? What she said seemed well. Unbelievable. But I’m actually inclined to believe her. Believe what she said, that the person who took Kayla was Uncle Bo.

Hello?

Anybody here?

Oh dear God.

Update written by Joseph

John answers the door at home to see Roman has returned. John invites him in as Roman talks about being beat and unable to sleep while his flight got in late. Roman worries that it was too late to come over but John assures that it’s fine. Roman talks about being in Ireland to scatter Kate’s ashes and then spending time with Carrie and Austin, then Billie and Chelsea. John asks if he lost track of time because he’s been gone a lot longer than a few days. Roman admits he went off the grid because he needed some time to himself to get it together before he came home without Kate. John says he has a few things to tell him and reveals that he and Steve found Megan Hathaway. Roman asks if they killed her. John says no, but she’s in custody so she’s paying for what she did. Roman feels it’s not enough. John reveals there is something else he needs to know and it’s kind of complicated. Marlena then comes out from the bedroom, shocking Roman.

In Greece, Stephanie has a nightmare about being informed that Steve and Kayla were killed. Stephanie wakes up in a panic while Chad encourages that nobody is dead and they are okay.

Harris lays awake in bed, thinking back to Bo convincing him not to tell Hope that he’s alive and then lying to Hope about not finding anything. Hope then shows up at his door and asks him what’s wrong.

Steve and Kayla wake up in the wine cellar. Steve talks about Bo bringing her lab equipment so she can make that serum that he’s so obsessed with. Kayla says that would be a nightmare. Steve says when she gets that equipment, it will be a gamechanger because there will be chemicals and weapons. Kayla reminds Steve that Bo has a gun. Steve tries to come up with a plan but Kayla refuses to hurt Bo since he is her brother. Steve explains that they won’t hurt him, just disarm him and then get the hell out of here so they can get Bo the help he needs. Bo then enters with a bowl of cold stew. Bo tells Kayla to get up because they are leaving.

A prison guard brings Megan to the visiting room where Andrew Donovan informs her that they need to have a talk.

Roman questions how Marlena is alive. John says he was just about to tell him that when they tracked Megan down, they not only found Marlena but Kayla too. Roman doesn’t understand. John says they were right that Megan was the one who stole the Orchid from Kristen and had Dr. Rolf develop a serum while keeping them in a cryogenic state. Roman hugs Marlena and calls it incredible as he can’t believe she’s alive. Roman then asks what about Kate.

Stephanie tells Chad that her nightmare was so real. Chad relates to having nightmares after losing Abigail so he knows how scared she must be, but he really believes they will find Steve and Kayla alive. Stephanie thanks Chad and says she couldn’t get through this without him. Chad encourages that they are making progress and getting closer. Stephanie questions if they are since now they know it wasn’t Thomas Banks who took Kayla, she feels like they don’t have a clue who are they dealing with or why.

Steve asks Bo where they are going. Bo says not him, just Kayla. Bo reveals he found a Titan research lab that has everything she needs to create the formula for the serum. Steve says she’ll go over his dead body. Bo pulls his gun out and says that can be arranged.

Harris tells Hope that nothing’s wrong but admits he hasn’t slept as he can’t stop worrying about Steve and Kayla. Hope talks about racking her brain last night wondering why Thomas Banks tailed Stephanie and Chad, why he even cares about Kayla, and why Megan lied to them about who really did take her. Hope suggests Megan might be protecting someone but questions who she cares about enough to protect. Harris points out that Megan is also crazy. Hope states that Megan is not stupid and never does anything without a self-serving reason. Hope is frustrated that there’s so many questions but no good answers. Harris stops Hope and says there is something he has to tell her.

Chad tells Stephanie that he thinks it’s good that it wasn’t Thomas Banks who took Kayla since he is extremely dangerous. Stephanie worries that whoever has them may be worse. Chad doesn’t think so since whoever did it impersonated Shane Donovan and walked out with Steve without raising any suspicions. Stephanie calls that terrifying because it means they are really good at being a criminal. Chad is not so sure and says whoever it is let Kayla access a cell phone and hasn’t made any ransom demands. Stephanie wonders what he wants then. Chad says that’s the question since he can’t be taking orders from Megan anymore. Chad adds that there aren’t a lot of people that it could be. Chad mentions his father being a master criminal. Chad thinks the best clue they have is still Kayla saying Victor’s name. Chad believes Kayla will be at one of Victor’s properties and they still have a few to check out. Chad encourages Stephanie to have faith that they will find them today. Stephanie says she’s trying as Chad hugs her.

Megan asks what brings Andrew to Salem. Andrew says she did and informs her that their deal is off. Megan argues that he can’t do that since she told him who took Kayla. Andrew reveals that they know she lied.

Steve worries that if he lets Bo take Kayla out of here, he might never see her again. Bo argues that if he separates them, Kayla will have incentive to work faster to get back to Steve. Kayla questions how she knows for sure that Bo will even let her get back to Steve. Bo insists that he’s not here to ruin their lives and if they give him what he needs, then they can have their lives back if Steve doesn’t get in the way. Steve asks what if someone comes looking for them while they’re gone like Chad and Stephanie or Hope and Harris. Bo assures that no one is coming. Kayla asks how he can be so sure. Bo reveals that someone stopped by yesterday and they won’t be coming back.

Hope asks what Harris has to tell her. Harris hesitates and claims that he just wanted to tell her how much he cares about her and that he’s sorry as he feels what she and her family are going through is partly his fault. Hope argues that he’s doing everything he can now to help them. Hope brings up the cop at the police station giving her the most basic description of Steve’s kidnapper, which could be anyone. Hope hopes that the artist is back at the department today since if they can get a decent sketch of the guy, then they will know who they are looking for.

Roman questions Marlena saying that Kate was alive but now she’s dead. Marlena says she’s so sorry as she would’ve helped her but she couldn’t have. Roman questions whose ashes he had in the urn then. Marlena admits they don’t know. Roman asks about Kate’s body. John states that the ISA searched the island but haven’t been able to locate it. Roman doesn’t know why it’s hitting him so hard since he had already accepted the fact that Kate was gone. Marlena understands it’s a lot to process. Roman questions why Megan had to kill Kate. John points out that Megan said she didn’t and someone who worked for her did. Roman asks if that’s who they think has Kayla. John explains that Megan claimed it was Thomas Banks but he’s in custody in Greece and denying everything. John adds that apparently Thomas Banks has an ironclad alibi. Marlena tells Roman that Steve went to look for Kayla and now he’s missing as well. Roman complains that Megan took Kate from him not once but twice and now is the reason that Steve and Kayla are missing too. John informs him that Megan is in Statesville prison which Roman says is good because he doesn’t have far to go to choke the truth out of her.

Megan tells Andrew that she did not lie. Andrew informs her that Greek authorities arrested Thomas Banks and he insists that he did not take Kayla or kill Kate. Megan questions believing him. Andrew reveals that Thomas Banks has an alibi for when Kate was killed and Kayla disappeared as he was at Aristotle’s Retreat, a sex club, so there’s an orgy full of people who can verify. Megan can’t imagine Thomas Banks going out with one person, let alone an orgy full, so she calls that the most ridiculous alibi she can imagine. Andrew confirms that it checks out and reminds Megan that their deal relied on her supplying information that would lead them to Kayla, but she didn’t supply information and instead lied through her teeth which led them off on a wild goose chase instead of finding Kayla. Andrew declares that Megan will be relocated to a black site that will make this look like the Ritz.

Hope tells Harris that she knows the sketch artist is a long shot but they have nothing else. Stephanie and Chad arrive at the door. Hope hugs Stephanie and asks how she’s holding up. Stephanie says she’s doing well with only the occasional meltdown. Chad asks if they should divide up the list like they did before. They mention each having three sites left to check. Hope reminds them to call right away if they find anything, since whoever took Steve is probably just as dangerous as Thomas Banks. Stephanie stops and says she can’t wrap her mind around the fact that the ISA searched the whole island and Megan, Dr. Rolf, and Thomas Banks are all now in jail, then someone took Kayla but there was no one else there.

Kayla questions Bo saying that someone came by. Steve asks if it was Stephanie. Bo tells him it wasn’t. Steve asks who it was. Bo says it doesn’t matter as they checked the place off the list so they won’t be coming back. Bo warns that they won’t be rescued unless they do what he asks. Bo warns Steve that he’s dead if he moves a muscle as he walks Kayla out of the wine cellar. Bo orders Steve to stay and locks him back up as Steve screams in frustration.

Marlena tells Roman that no one will let him see Megan tonight and even if he could, she won’t tell him anything. John adds that it could screw up their chance to find Kayla. Roman feels he has to do something to help find Kayla. Roman declares that he failed Kate, so he can’t fail Kayla too. Marlena disagrees and argues that if anyone failed Kate, it was her since she was there. John decides they are not going to do this. John tells Roman that Chad and Stephanie are in Greece going through Victor’s properties while Hope and Harris are heading up the ISA investigation there. Roman questions Harris being there. John explains that ISA broke through his programming, so he’s on their side now. Roman asks if he’s sure about that.

Hope tells Harris that Stephanie has been through so much. Harris understands she’s scared and says this shouldn’t be happening to her. Hope guesses this is getting to Harris because he’s lost so much of his own life and now he’s putting it on hold to help her find people that he doesn’t even know. Harris responds that he’s no saint. Hope tells him that he’s definitely not boring. Hope says they will go find Steve and Kayla and bring them home because they have plans after all of this is over as she hugs him.

Bo brings Kayla to the Titan lab and assures it has all the supplies that she said she needed. Bo notes that Dr. Rolf was able to put the serum together in a couple of days so it shouldn’t take her too long. Bo warns Kayla not to do anything stupid because he has Steve. Kayla complains about him coercing her to do something that she doesn’t want by threatening the people she loves. Kayla asks what happens after she makes the serum and if she’s never going to see Bo again. Bo doesn’t see why she would want to since he’s given her plenty of reason to hate him. Kayla talks about when Bo was born and how she loved him ever since. Kayla declares that she wants her brother back. Bo says he will lock her in here and be back tomorrow. Kayla asks him to promise to use the serum for good. Bo responds that he will sell the formula to the highest bidder and everyone will know his name and Kayla’s too if she wants. Kayla says she doesn’t. Bo remarks that the Brady way is humble and quiet while he was never either of those things. Bo then storms out of the lab and locks Kayla inside.

Hope tells Harris that they should head to the police station. Harris stops her and says there’s no reason to go to the police station because there is something he has to tell her. Harris informs Hope that she needs to go to Victor’s childhood home. Hope points out that Harris already searched it and said there was nothing there. Harris admits that he lied.

Kayla looks over the serum and questions what the hell to do.

Chad and Stephanie arrive at the Titan lab. Stephanie comments that it looks deserted. Chad points out there is one more door but it’s locked. Kayla hears the door and believes Bo is coming back. Kayla grabs a weapon and declares no one is going to stop her from getting back to her family. Stephanie begins trying to pick the lock.

Megan pleads with Andrew not to send her away and says she’ll get him the formula so he’ll be rich but he’s not interested. Andrew says he only wants to find his aunt and uncle since now Steve is missing too. Andrew tells Megan that if she wants to keep their deal, she can tell him the truth about who really took Kayla and then when they find her safe, he’ll let Megan stay here in Statesville prison. Andrew warns that if they don’t find Kayla safe, Megan will find out first hand that they can be ruthless when exacting revenge so she better start talking right now. Andrew questions why Megan lied and why she didn’t want them to find Kayla. Megan says that’s not it. Megan thinks back to lying to Steve and Hope about Thomas taking Kayla so that Hope wouldn’t know Bo is alive. Andrew asks Megan if that’s not it, what is? Andrew adds that they are going to find this guy with or without her help. Megan asks how he knows it’s a guy. Andrew explains that he showed up at the police station in Greece, impersonating Shane, which is when he took Steve and the prisms. Andrew adds that they have a general idea of where he is and a general description of what he looks like. Andrew warns that if they find him without her help, she loses her leverage. Andrew asks what it’s going to be, staying in Statesville or the seventh circle of Hell?

Hope questions Harris saying he lied. Harris apologizes. Hope says this isn’t making any sense and questions why he would lie about that when he said he wanted to help. Harris says he does and she’s just going to have to see for herself. Hope doesn’t understand but Harris says she will when she gets there. Harris adds that he would go with her, but it’s something she has to do on her own. Hope questions that being all he’s going to tell her. Harris repeats that he’s sorry. Hope asks what for. Harris kisses her and tells Hope that she will see. Hope then exits. After she leaves, Harris says goodbye to Hope.

Stephanie successfully picks the lock to the lab. She and Chad then enter and find Kayla. Stephanie and Kayla joyfully embrace as Stephanie asks if she’s okay. Kayla responds that she’s fine. Stephanie asks where Steve is.

Steve bangs on the wine cellar door, asking if anyone is out there.

Hope arrives at Victor’s childhood home with her gun raised and asks if anyone is there.

Harris gets a call from Megan in prison and asks what the hell she wants. Megan warns that if he wants any chance with Hope, he will take her now and go far away. Harris responds that it’s too late for both of them.

Roman tells John and Marlena that he knows the ISA deprogrammed Harris and that he played a big part in tracking down Megan, but questions if they are sure he’s not playing both sides. Marlena confirms that Kimberly worked with him and is convinced that he’s no longer under Megan’s influence. Roman questions why he’s looking for Kayla and Steve. John says because Harris knows he has a lot to make up for. Roman suggests he could be trying to impress Hope and remarks that Bo would be turning over in his grave. John brings up knowing what it’s like to be under Megan’s influence, so he thinks Harris deserves a chance. Roman agrees and acknowledges how big a part Harris played in tracking down Megan. Roman declares that he’s either going to Greece or to prison because he’s not going to sit around and do nothing. Andrew shows up at the door and says they are going to want to hear this which Roman questions. Andrew announces that he just came from Statesville as Megan has changed her story now that they got Thomas Banks. John asks how they know she’s telling the truth this time. Andrew reveals that what she said this time is so unbelievable that he’s almost inclined to believe it as Megan said the person who took Kayla was Uncle Bo.

Hope looks around the house, asking if anyone is there. Bo then comes in behind her, leaving Hope in shock.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Oh, hey EJ. Look at this, the perfect martini. May I fix you ones? Hmm. Oh, oh, well, oh, you may fix me another, but this time forget the olives and the . Oh, well, uh, yes, but before I do that, what’s wrong with you? What’s wrong is that the call is lying to me.

Johnny, this isn’t a good. Everything okay? No, it’s not. But, uh, you and Gabby not that’s any of your business, but Gabby and I just ended our marriage. Well, I’m, I’m sorry to hear that. And I promise you, I will leave you to wallow in your misery, but I gotta figure out how to deal with mine first. Look, if this is about my sister, it is.

Okay. Look, look, look, I, I’ve been trying to call Wendy. She’s not answering her phone. Do you know where she is?

No, Joey, you’re not taking a ride share with your leg in that cast. Hey, I’m going to pick you up from the hospital tomorrow. I’m going to bring you back here, or I will stay for as long as I’m needed. Okay? Yeah, of course, man.

No, I haven’t heard from dad yet. Yeah. Still in Greece looking for your mom, you know? But I’m sure he is gonna call as soon as he knows something. Okay, you got a brother? I’ll see you in the morning.

Wendy. What the, hey, trip? What? Why are you, why are you here? What, I mean, what are you, what are you doing here in. What’s the matter? Aren’t you glad to see me?

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

Nicole and I were right here earlier having a perfectly pleasant conversation. Then when things started to turn romantic, she suddenly claimed she was feeling ill and fled to go take a. After a few minutes, I became concerned. Well, that’s understandable. Hmm. And so I trailed her to see if she was okay.

That’s when I overheard her on the phone with someone telling them that she didn’t want me to know what happened and that they should keep with a secret. Well, that’s hardly cause for suspicion. Perhaps Nicole was throwing a surprise party. My birthday’s in February. Oh, yes. Well, maybe she was planning a romantic getaway.

Right. Just not for us. Who are you jumping to conclusions? Do you have any idea who Nicole was speaking to?

Oh, Anna. Hi. Hi, Nicole. I’m sorry to bother you. I’m just, it’s fine. It’s, it’s fine. What? What’s wrong? I’m just wondering if you have any aspirin. Oh, it was Majong with the girls this afternoon, and I’m afraid I had one too many Pinot Grigios. I know how you feel. I, uh, I have a hangover. Oh really? Mm-hmm. What had you flying high

biscuits. Hey, what are you doing back last week? Okay, I’m fine. I came here to send you me. Why? You said you are gonna check on Melin. That was a while ago. So I said I text you when I was free. I know, but I mean, how long did it take to check up on somebody, Gabriela? Am I sensing a hint of jealousy about me?

Mm-hmm. Jealous of Melina Trust. Come on. That’s, that’s ridiculous. It’s insulting, really. Okay, fine. Yes. I’m jealous.

See, I’m jealous because I know Melinda wants you badly. Okay. Maybe she does. You are the only one that I want to want me. In other words, I’m taken.

Okay. I know, it’s just, I don’t think it might have been the best idea to have her be your lover. I mean, she’s really into you. Okay. First of all, pretend lover. Okay. And it’s over. Okay. Her job is done. We just talked about it. She knows, and I still don’t care why she signed on in the first place because we talked about this.

Okay. She hates EJ for letting Christian Escape, so this was her way to get back at him. And even so this wasn’t a charity case for her. She made it abundantly clear. She expects something big in return. Something big, huh? Yes. And. Just only she intends to collect. As soon as you and I are back in charge of ta.

I bet she’s gonna want a lot more than just a check for her foundation. Maybe. Okay. Probably wonderful. I hope it doesn’t involve her making her way back into your bedroom. Gabby, it’s done. I belong to you. My heart belongs to you and only you. So enough about Melinda, did you speak to Lee? I sure did. And well, I gave him his ring back and now I am free to be with

fear. No, no. I, uh, I wanna have a clear head when I talk to your sister. Did, did she say when she’s gonna be, No, she did not. Why don’t you try calling her again? I just texted her for the thousandth time, man. No response. Damnit. I I thought this was just a misunderstanding. I, I, I don’t misunderstanding. I’m guessing it’s more than that.

If she’s ignoring a thousand texts, come on, Johnny out with it. What’d you do to make my sister so angry? Why she ghosting you.

I’m really happy to see you. I just never expected you to show up here. Yeah, well neither did I. It was kind of a spur of the moment decision newly. How’s Joey doing? Fine. Yeah. The surgery was a success and they’re actually releasing it from the hospital tomorrow, but. I know you didn’t come all this way just to see that knucklehead.

So tell me, come on, what, uh, brought you to Seattle? A plane, Wendy. Okay. I, uh, I actually came because I was disappointed that we didn’t get to go on our date. I mean, not that I’m mad that you came here for Joey. Not at all. I think that’s totally amazing that you did that. I don’t, I don’t know about amazing, but, uh, believe me, I, I felt really bad about canceling on you last minute, but we said that we’d go out as soon as I got back.

So, I mean, for you to. Fly like 2000 miles to get here. There’s gotta be something more going on. Right. Did something happen in Salem? No, no, no. I mean, nothing much is that Johnny and Chanel are getting married again?

No. I don’t know who Nicole was conspiring with on the phone. But does it matter? Of course it matters. It could have been a travel agent or a hotel concierge. But what are you getting so worked up about? I’m worked up because Nicole and I are in a committed relationship. There should be no secrets between us, but there are differences between surprises and secrets aren’t there?

Yes, but Tony, you, you’re not hearing me. Nicole told the person on the other end of that call that she didn’t want me to know what happened. I highly doubt she was trying to book the bloody presidential suite at some upscale hotel. Ej, lemme make you another dream. No, I’m gonna confront the call right now and demand the truth.

No, no, no, no, no. Stop ej,

please take a breath before you do anything that you marry.

Tainted biscuits. What? Heavens I, I’m surprised that you didn’t hear. I mean, I got at least a dozen news alerts. Oh, well, you know, we turn our phones off when we’re playing Majong. There’s so much wine flowing. Everyone needs to stay focused. Well, did they find out who did the ta? No. No, they didn’t. The police are still looking into it, but so many people got drugged.

It was me, ej, Rafe. Eric, you spoke to Eric. Well, we ran into each other under the influence.

Nicole, what is it?

It’s nothing. Nothing. It sounds like a whole lot of something to me. Come on, honey. You know, you can trust me. Just talk to me what happened with you and Eric?

Oh, my,

I, Anna, I, I don’t know how it happened, but I ended up in bed with.

Oh, well that took forever. I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to keep you waiting. No, it’s fine. It just, I wish I’d have joined you. Such fun memories of you and I in the shower. All the things we did. It’s such a tiny little space that I never thought we could do, but boy, you sure did. Prove me wrong. Yeah. You know, to be honest, before I came out here I was a little worried, you know, but the way you’re talking, it makes me feel that we’ll get back on track soon.

Oh, after I walked in on you in bed with Nicole, that was a one time thing. And you know, not to mention that we were drugged, but honestly I’d, I’d really like to pick up where we left off. You mean hot sex? No. Well, I wouldn’t use those exact words. Well, look, whatever words you’re looking for, I’m afraid that’s just not gonna work for me anymore.

So my sister saw you propose to your ex-wife. Yeah. Yeah. I was high, I was high on some crazy drug. So was Chanel. I, I, I had no idea what I was doing or what I was saying. Well, why don’t you just text her and explain the whole thing? Yeah, Lee, I did that. I texted. I explained the whole thing, but once I typed it all out, I realized how crazy it was.

I mean, hey Wendy, I know you just saw me propose to Chanel and she accepted, but please just forget all that because we were both Hi on Sweet Bits biscuits. I mean, come on. Yeah, yeah. Well, I, I see your point, but Johnny, I mean, you sure something’s not actually happening with you and Chanel Of course.

I just need you to help me get in contact with Wendy so I can tell her she’s the one I want to be with. I don’t wanna marry Chanel. I, I we’re just friends. Well, you told me the other night, if you’re serious about my sister. Did you mean it? Yeah. Yeah, I did. I, I think Wendy is an amazing person. I know that what I feel for her is real.

I just, I want to prove that to her.

Oh, maybe I can help you out. Really, you do that? I don’t know if I’ll be successful, but I can give her a call, see if I can smooth things out for you. That’s, uh, that’s really nice of you. Huh? actually texted me. I, I didn’t hear it cause I was in the middle of things with Gabby. Okay. Did she say anything about me?

No, she didn’t, but she did say where she is. Okay, great. So then I can go find her, I can talk to her. Where is she in Seattle. Johnny and Chanel are engaged. Yep. I witnessed the very touching proposal. I saw Johnny get down on Bend Knee and ask Chanel to marry him again. Th and get this, he told me he did it because I agreed to go out on a date with you.

What, what, what kind of reason is that? That’s crazy. That’s what I thought. Okay. All right. Well then what did Chanel say? Well, she said yes, no. Yes. She accepted his proposal wholeheartedly. Wow. Okay. Well then it’s official. The two of them have both completely lost their minds.

I dunno. Eric and I were, we were out of our mind. And we were high as a kite because of whatever was in those damn biscuits. Hallucinating. Okay. So, so maybe it was all in your imagination sleeping together part, I mean, no, it, it wasn’t after we came down, we were in. And it was obvious that we had been intimate.

I see. So are you and Eric back together? No. No. I am with EJ and he is with Sloan Peterson. At least he was before she walked in on us. Well, Then if he’s available, maybe there’s a chance for you to, oh man, there’s no chance. Look, Eric and I are always gonna have chemistry, whether we’re with another person or not, but it doesn’t change what happened between us.

You know, all the reasons we split up are, are still there. And we agree that this is just a, a one time slip up because of those drug infused Dan Biscuits. And what about ej?

What about him? Well, you said you were together. I’m just curious as to what that means. Just how serious are you Two?

So you are upset by what happened earlier, right? Maybe if you would’ve just taken a faster shower, I wouldn’t have had. So much time to think about everything, but, um, I did, I, I thought about it, uh, and I was really hurt when I saw you in bed with Nicole. No, please. Lemme just get this off my chest. Okay.

Aside from what I saw upstairs, I was thinking about it, and

unlike everybody else in this town, You know, you trust me. You believe me whenever I tell you that I’m not the one harassing Paulina Price or drugging her daughter’s Buns. Biscuits. They’re, they’re biscuits, whatever. Look, the, the point is, Eric, you make me feel ways. I never expected to feel

and um, I know that I fought so hard to keep this cash flow between you and I and trust me, no one is more surprised by this than me. I’m no longer willing to be. Just your booty call. I want more. More meaning I wanna be your girlfriend.

I cannot tell you how long I waited to do that in public. Have some idea. This is amazing. We’re free. Yes, I bet Lee doesn’t think so though. Did he give you. No, he was actually quite civilized about it. He says he’s not gonna contest the divorce. And you believe him? Yeah. I think he’s finally realizing that you’re the only man I will ever love.

Hmm. Surprising. I thought he would fight till the bitter end. Yeah. But I think he realizes that no matter what he does, he can’t win. He let me go and since he was in such an unusual, generous mood, I did ask him for his Demer shares, but he denied it. Not receivable. Surprise there. Well, he can keep his damn shares because we got what we wanted.

Yeah. But you know, now that we’re together, I want more. AJ stole your family’s company from. Both of us, you and I, my love. We are gonna, we’re gonna team up and we’re gonna get him back.

Wendy’s in Seattle, dammit. She obviously went to see trip trip’s in Seattle with his brother. Yeah. Just leave please. He got a caller. Okay. Okay.

Hey, let me guess you’re wondering why I’m in Seattle. I have an inkling joining The mayor’s here with me. He really wants to talk to you and I think you should hear what he has to say.

Johnny wants to talk to me. Huh? I thought he’d be busy planning his wedding if you just, no. Johnny and I have nothing to talk about. But why don’t you tell him that? I wish him and Chanel. All the happiness in the world.

So first we take over Damira and then take over the world. Oh, I am all in. But first, before we dive into global domination, I need some alone time with you. Pleasure not business. I would love that. Yeah. Mean problem is we have no place to. I’m sure there’s an open room around here somewhere. I mean, we have no place to live.

Sure we do. You’re coming home with me.

You know those Damira men, they are all about power and revenge control and, and it can be exciting, you know, to be part of their highest stake schemes. Lately, EJ has been so obsessed about trying to take Stephan down. I I just feel more like a co-conspirator than a, than a love interest. What did you tell him That I did?

And, and actually he’s been more attentive. He’s, he’s dialed up the romance. So things are, they’re could between us. I don’t want what happened with Eric to mess things up.

Anna, I can trust you to keep this between us, right?

Yeah. There’s any consolation here and I keep secrets away from me all the time, but I encourage it. In fact, you encourage your wife to dece. No, no. Let me explain. The essentially ingredients in a healthy relationship is the discernment in what you share. For example, I don’t wanna know how many glasses of Pinot grigio that honor throws back and today not wanna find that how much money she spent on that hideous crystal lampshade for a nightstand.

Now all of that is irrelevant. It’s no bearing on the relationship, but if I find out certain specifics, well then there could be a conflict there between us. So what do you want Anna to tell you? Is she happy?

If she’s unhappy, especially with me, then I need to know that, cuz that will cause concern and action. I mean, forget about all the alcohol or the exorbitant spending, that doesn’t matter anymore. But as far as you and Nicole are concerned, rather than asking who she’s chatting with or what they’re chatting, I would focus on Nicole being happy.

And is she happy with you? Well, I think so. I have no reason to believe otherwise. Oh, well that makes me happy cause that felt that confident to being with Nicole Uhuh, you just throw all the rest.

That you want to be together, enjoy each other’s company. That’s all.

Oh, of course. I will Keep your confidence. Oh, Nicole, what kind of friend would I be if I went running off to EJ to spill the beans? Well, you took ejs side with the Sydney situation. I mean, that was ages ago, and as you said, I know Dara man, which is why I understand the unique, uh, advantages and challenges of being with one.

So I think it would behoove us to stick together. Okay. Thank you. Uh, I’m, I’m very. Well, and, and let me just say this. I think you’re really good for ej. You know, I know he would never admit it, but he was deeply hurt by Sammy, her shenanigans with Lucas, her shenanigans in general. Yeah. And I’m happy to say that he seems in much better spirits since you two got.

What is it?

What I’m, I’m, I’m just, I’m just worried that, well, that my infidelity, if you can call it that. I, I’m just, maybe I should tell him Oh, no, no, no, no. That would be a big mistake. But, but my, my, my cheating and hiding it has caused a lot of people, a lot of pain. I mean, look what I did to rave. This is an entirely different situation.

I mean, you said that what happened between you and Eric didn’t mean anything. It didn’t. Well, then don’t let it ruin what you have with ej. Look. If you and Eric wanted to be together, that would be one thing, but you just told me emphatically that you don’t. So why rock the boat

to keep the guilt from eating me alive? You have nothing to be guilty about. As you just said, it was a one time. And it only happened because the two of you were stoned out of your gords. So I say, put a lid on it and move on.

Okay. Okay. If you say so. Oh, I do. I do. You see if there’s one thing I’ve learned over the years, it’s that it’s perfectly fine to have a. Harmless secrets from your partner. I mean, do you think Tony really wants to know how many pinot grigios I drank at Majong this afternoon, or that I spent a small fortune on that gorgeous crystal laugh?

Shade from my nightstand? No, these meaningless indulgences are, well, it’s just best to forget them. Decide trust. What our men don’t know can’t hurt them,

so, Sloane Pearon. Your skinny ass is mine. God’s sakes, lady. Just back off. I have a court order that says you’re supposed to stay 1500 feet away from me. Well, my husband, the mayor just told me he put the combustion on. That’s ridiculous. Court order, and he told me those. Breakfast biscuits. Their do with a powerful hallucinogen.

Oh, I heard about your little sadistic daughter poisoning out the town. My daughter has nothing to do with this. You are the psychopath who will spike the dough, who really, do you have any evidence? Oh, believe me, it will be found, especially since you sent the Elise Commissioner, the DA, and a whole bunch of other big wigs to the hospital and they will not rest until they get the proof that they need to put your crazy behind in a cage.

Lina, don’t Paul, Lena, me your girlfriend. Over to prison. So I suggest you take 114 nine steps back from this bitch before she drags you down with her.

When you get the states filled and the other inmates start asking who you are, just tell them you’re the skank. Who was stupid enough to take on Paulina Price? I wait. I know you’re upset about what happened at Chanel’s Bakery, but I had one of those biscuits cause I, I’m not happy about it either, obviously.

I know Sloan is not the person responsible for this. Well, how in the hell are you so certain? She told me and I believe her. I never thought that Marlena Evans would ever weighs any fools, but clearly. I can see I was wrong about that. Listen, I’m telling you. Oh look, you’ve been warned Eric Brady. So when that lunatic stabs you with the scissors you use to cut off that magazine or slip, cite into your chow, do not come crying to me.

So what are you ladies talking about? Oh, I was just asking Nicole. If she would prefer red or white wine with dinner this evening. Oh, what a coincidence. I came up to ask the same thing. Aw, thoughtful.

Let’s go with the white, splendid. Mm-hmm. Cook said everything is just about ready. So Charlie.

Wait, you want us to move into the mansion? Why not? Why? Because EJ kind of hates me, you know? And he serves husband, didn’t let me and Jake move in there. Right. I always forget that you, uh, were involved with my twin brother. Yeah. You know, you should know. I, I now know that I was only with him. I wish to as you.

Okay. Aside from all that, EJ doesn’t intimidate me. That house is Stefano’s house and there was nothing. My father valued more than blood. So you and I are gonna walk through those front doors with our heads held out. Hi. Okay, let’s go home then. Let’s go home.

Hey, hey, hey, you can, you gotta call her back, please, Johnny. I know my sister. She’s not gonna answer. Look, will you just try, just try

straight to voicemail. Damn it. Just give her some time, you know. L let her cool down. Cool down. Yeah. She thinks I’m getting married, so she flew off to see Trip who she already told me she’s interested in. I could lose her to another guy. Look Johnny. You can sit here with me and cry in your beer, but you need to be quiet about it, okay?

I’m not in the mood for your drama. All fine. I will go,

uh, look, if, if, if, if you hear from Wendy, will you please just explain to her what really happened between me and Chanel? Johnny, I’m sorry. I already told you. I know my sister. There’s no way she’s calling me back.

Are you sure you don’t wanna call Johnny back? I mean, there could be a reasonable explanation for all of this. Oh, yeah. The reasonable explanation is that guy’s a player. Okay? So many people, including his own twin sister, have warned me to stay away from him, but I didn’t.

Anyway, I, I don’t wanna talk about him. I came here to see you. Hey, why don’t we have that dinner that you promised me, you know, any good places to eat around here,

I can take of one.

Hi. I’d like to book a flight, please. Yeah. Next. Nonstop to Seattle.

Wow. Mm-hmm. This looks amazing. So you really are a cook. Well, I used to work at a restaurant, so picked up a few things.

Sure. Thank you for doing all of this. Of course. So wish we drink too. How about all friends and. New possibilities. I like that.

Did I forget anything? Just to answer my question when I said I wanted to be your girlfriend, he kind of shut down on me. Come on, there’s, because all I know is here. I’m really sorry the way she spoke to you. Oh, please, I can handle that wind. The question is, can you, what do you mean? And she said all those harsh things about me.

It makes me wonder if your suspicions came back, if, um, if you changed your mind about me. Yeah. I did change my mind. And it wasn’t because of what Paul Sian it was, what it was, what you said.

Listening to you made me realize that what we have, what we’re doing, it needs to end.

Okay then. No, no, no. What I mean is that it needs in because.

What I want is more just like you. I’d love for you to be my girlfriend. Oh, Eric,

just let’s get one thing clear, right? This doesn’t mean I’m gonna start pretending to like a family child, sorry. It’s just more for me,

you know, cook have created such a delightful bome calling fish chowder by a fancy name. Does it make it any more appetizing? Well, I know you have an aversion to this dish, so I’ve asked him to create a. I don’t know what Sal without the, oh darling, you are too good to me. Oh, not at all.

Are you okay? Yes, I’m fine. And very relieved that this day is coming to a close and we can put all our hallucinogenic hygienes behind us. Yes, me too.

How was that fool? I just want you to know that I’ve noticed. The effort that you’ve put in to making me feel like a priority and that I’m important to you, it makes me so happy, ej, and I appreciate it so much.

Okay, you two.

I’d like to propose a toast. Thank you

to. I know a father. Oh, he would be so pleased to see his sons and their lady friends making a toast together under his roof. Well then you better pour two more glasses. Evening folks. Gabby. Stephan, what are you doing here? We live here, huh? I beg pardon. Gabby and I are delighted to announce that we have once again decided to make this place our home.

Update written by Joseph

Tony is making a martini in the living room of the DiMera Mansion when EJ walks in. Tony asks if he’d like one. EJ takes Tony’s and drinks the whole thing, then tells him that he can make him another. Tony asks what’s wrong with him. EJ responds that what’s wrong is that Nicole is lying to him.

Nicole goes to shower in her room.

Eric goes to shower in his room and imagines Nicole joining him in the shower.

Nicole then imagines Eric joining her in her shower and them kissing.

Stefan goes to leave the hospital and texts Gabi, saying he needs to see her and asking where she is. Gabi then arrives off the elevator at the hospital.

Li stands in his apartment until Johnny arrives at the door. Li tells him it’s not a good time. Johnny asks if everything is okay. Li says it’s not. Johnny asks if it’s he and Gabi. Li informs him that he and Gabi just ended their marriage. Johnny says he’s sorry and promises to leave him to wallow in his misery but he has to deal with his own. Johnny tells Li that he’s trying to call Wendy but she’s not answering her phone, so he asks if Li knows where she is.

Tripp is in Seattle, on the phone with Joey, telling him that he’s going to pick him up from the hospital tomorrow and he will stay as long as needed. Tripp mentions that he hasn’t heard from Steve yet but he’s sure that he will call as soon as he knows something about Kayla. Tripp tells Joey that he’ll see him in the morning. Wendy then shows up at his door, surprising him. Tripp questions what she’s doing here in Seattle. Wendy asks if he’s glad to see her.

EJ explains to Tony that he and Nicole were having a perfectly pleasant conversation and then when things turned romantic, she suddenly claimed feeling ill and fled to take a shower. EJ says he was concerned, so he went to see if she was okay and he overheard her on the phone, telling someone that he didn’t want him to know what had happened and that they were keeping it a secret. Tony calls that hardly cause for suspicion and suggests Nicole could have been throwing him a surprise party. EJ argues that his birthday was in February. Tony suggests Nicole could be planning a romantic getaway and says EJ is jumping to conclusions. Tony asks if EJ has any idea who Nicole was speaking to.

Anna goes to Nicole’s room and asks if she has any aspirin after having one too many to drink. Nicole relates as she has a hangover too. Anna questions what had her flying high. Nicole responds that it was biscuits.

Stefan asks why Gabi is at the hospital and if she’s okay. Gabi says she came to see him since he said he was checking on Melinda. Stefan mentions that he said he would text her when he was done. Gabi questions how long it could take to check on someone. Stefan jokes about her being jealous. Gabi calls that ridiculous and insulting but then admits that she is jealous because she knows Melinda wants him badly. Stefan says maybe she does, but he’s the only one he wants to want him. Stefan states that he’s taken and kisses Gabi. Gabi doesn’t know if it was the best idea to have Melinda pretend to be his lover when she’s really in to him. Stefan assures that it’s over now, her job is done, and they talked about it. Stefan adds that it was Melinda’s way to get back at EJ for letting Kristen escape. Stefan mentions that Melinda made it abundantly clear that she expects something big in return and she just let him know that she’s going to call in that favor when they are back in charge of DiMera. Gabi bets she will want more than just a check for her foundation. Gabi hopes it doesn’t involve Melinda finding her way back to his bedroom. Stefan repeats that it’s done and declares that he belongs to Gabi, so that’s enough about Melinda. Stefan then asks if Gabi spoke to Li, which she confirms that she did. Gabi adds that she gave Li his ring back, so now she is free to be with the man that she loves as she and Stefan kiss.

Li offers Johnny a beer but he says he wants to have a clear head when he talks to Wendy. Li notes that Wendy did not say when she’s coming back and suggests calling her again. Johnny says he just texted her for the thousandth time to no response. Johnny thought this was just a misunderstanding. Li jokes that it must be more than that if she’s ignoring a thousand texts. Li asks what Johnny did to make Wendy so angry and why she’s ghosting him.

Tripp tells Wendy that he’s really happy to see her, but he never expected her to show up here. Wendy calls it a spur of the moment decision and asks how Joey is doing. Tripp says the surgery was a success and he’s being released from the hospital tomorrow. Tripp knows Wendy didn’t come all this way to see Joey, so he asks what brought her to Seattle. Wendy tells Tripp that she came because she was disappointed that they didn’t get to go on their date. Wendy notes that she thinks it’s amazing that he came for Joey. Tripp says he felt bad about having to cancel their date, but they said they would go out as soon as he got back. Tripp says that there has to be something more going on for Wendy to fly out 2000 miles to be here. Tripp asks if something happened in Salem. Wendy says no, other than Johnny and Chanel are getting married again.

EJ tells Tony that he doesn’t know who Nicole was conspiring with on the phone but it doesn’t matter. Tony argues that it does matter and asks what he’s getting so worked up about. EJ complains that he and Nicole are in a relationship so there should be no secrets between them. Tony suggests there’s a difference between secrets and surprises. EJ argues that Nicole said she didn’t want him to know what happened so he doesn’t think she was booking a hotel. Tony offers to make him another drink. EJ declares he’s going to confront Nicole right now and demand the truth. Tony stops him and tells him to take a breath before doing anything that he may regret.

Nicole tells Anna about the tainted biscuits and says she’s surprised Anna didn’t hear about it since she got about a dozen news alerts. Anna says she turned her phone off and asks if they found out who tainted the biscuits. Nicole says the police are still looking in to it but so many people got drugged including her, EJ, Rafe, and Eric. Anna questions Nicole speaking to Eric. Nicole admits that they ran in to each other while under the influence. Anna asks Nicole what it is. Nicole claims it’s nothing but Anna feels it sounds like a lot of something to her. Anna encourages Nicole to trust her and talk to her as she asks what happened with her and Eric. Nicole breaks down and admits that she doesn’t know how it happened but she ended up in bed with Eric.

Eric goes downstairs and joins Sloan at the Pub. Eric apologizes for keeping her waiting. Sloan says that while he took forever, she wished she joined him as she has many fun memories of them in the shower together. Eric admits that before he came down, he was worried but by the way she’s talking, it sounds like they might get back on track soon. Sloan asks if he means after she walked in on him in bed with Nicole. Eric assures that was a one time thing and they were drugged, but he’d really like to pick up where he and Sloan left off. Sloan asks if he means hot sex with no strings. Eric says he wouldn’t use those exact words. Sloan tells Eric that she’s afraid that’s just not going to work for her anymore.

Li laughs when Johnny tells him about Wendy seeing him propose to Chanel. Johnny complains that he was high on some crazy drug and so was Chanel, so he had no idea what he was doing or saying. Li asks why he doesn’t just text Wendy to explain the whole thing. Johnny says he did that but once he typed it all out, he realized how crazy it all was. Li admits he sees his point and asks if he’s sure something isn’t actually happening with he and Chanel. Johnny says of course and he just needs Li to get him in contact with Wendy, so he can tell her that she’s the one he wants to be with and that he and Chanel are just friends. Li asks Johnny if he meant it when he told him that he was serious about his sister. Johnny assures that he did and he thinks Wendy is an amazing person, so he knows what he feels for her is real and he just wants to prove that to her. Li decides maybe he can help him out. Li doesn’t know if he’ll be successful but agrees to give Wendy a call to see if he can smooth things out for him. Johnny calls that very nice of him. Li then gets his phone and sees that he had a text from Wendy, informing him that she is in Seattle.

Tripp questions Chanel and Johnny being engaged. Wendy confirms that she saw herself as Johnny got down on one knee and asked Chanel to marry him again and said that he did it because Wendy agreed to a date with Tripp. Tripp calls that crazy. Wendy says that Chanel accepted his proposal. Tripp declares that they have both lost their minds then.

Nicole tells Anna that she and Eric were out of their minds and high from the biscuits while hallucinating. Anna suggests maybe it was all in her imagination but Nicole assures it wasn’t. Nicole says after they came down, they were in bed and it was obvious they had been intimate. Anna asks if that means they are back together. Nicole assures that she is with EJ and Eric is with Sloan or at least was before she walked in on them. Anna points out that if Eric is available then maybe there’s a chance for them. Nicole insists that there is no chance. Nicole says she and Eric will always have chemistry, whether with another person or not, but it doesn’t change what happened between them. Nicole adds that all the reasons they split up are still there and they agreed that this was just a one time slip up because of those drug infused biscuits. Anna asks her what about EJ and how serious they are.

Eric questions Sloan being upset about what happened earlier. Sloan complains that maybe if Eric took a faster shower, she wouldn’t have had so much time to think about everything but she did think about it and she was really hurt when she saw him in bed with Nicole. Sloan says unlike everybody else in town, Eric trusts her and believes her when she tells him that she’s not harassing Paulina or drugging Chanel’s buns. Sloan tells Eric that he makes her feel ways that she never expected to feel. Sloan knows that she fought so hard to keep things casual between them so no one is more surprised by this than her, but she’s no longer willing to just be his booty call. Sloan tells Eric that she wants more and she wants to be his girlfriend.

Stefan tells Gabi how long he’s waited to kiss her in public. Gabi calls it amazing that they are free. Stefan asks if Li gave her hell. Gabi says he was actually quite civilized about it and says he won’t contest the divorce as he finally realizes that Stefan is the only man she’ll ever love. Stefan is surprised as he thought Li would fight until the bitter end. Gabi thinks that Li realizes he would never win so he let her go. Gabi jokes that she did ask about the DiMera shares but he denied her which was no surprise. Stefan declares that Li can keep his shares, because they got what they wanted. Gabi points out that now that they are together, she wants more. Gabi states that EJ stole the company from them, so they are going to team up and get it back.

Johnny gets upset and says that Wendy obviously went to see Tripp in Seattle. Johnny asks Li to call Wendy, so he does. Wendy answers and guesses he’s wondering why she’s in Seattle. Li informs her that Johnny is with him and really wants to talk to her, so he thinks she should hear what he has to say. Wendy thought Johnny would be busy planning his wedding. Wendy declares that she and Johnny have nothing to talk about. Wendy tells Li to tell Johnny that she wishes he and Chanel all the happiness in the world as she then hangs up.

Gabi tells Stefan that first they will take over DiMera and then they will take over the world. Stefan says before they plan global domination, he wants some alone time with her for pleasure and not business. Gabi says she would love that, but they have no place to live. Stefan informs Gabi that she’s coming home with him.

Nicole tells Anna that the DiMeras are all about power, revenge, and control and it can be exciting to be a part of their high stakes schemes, but lately EJ has been so obsessed with taking Stefan down that she’s felt more like a co-conspirator than a love interest. Anna asks if she told EJ that. Nicole confirms that she did and EJ has dialed up the romance, so things are good between them and she doesn’t want what happened with Eric to mess things up. Nicole asks Anna if she can trust her to keep this between them.

Tony tells EJ that he encourages keeping secrets and explains that he doesn’t want to know how much wine Anna drank or how much money she spent on her hideous crystal lamp shade because that’s all irrelevant and has no bearing on the relationship, but if he found out specifics then there could be a conflict. EJ asks what he wants Anna to tell him then. Tony says he just needs to know that she’s happy because if not, that would cause concern and action. Tony encourages EJ to focus on if Nicole is happy rather than who she was talking to. EJ says he thinks she is happy with him and has no reason to think otherwise. Tony says he’s happy that he’s confident in being with Nicole, so he can throw the rest away. Tony tells EJ that if he wants to be together, just enjoy each other’s company.

Anna assures Nicole that she will keep her confidence and asks what kind of friend she would be if she went running to EJ to spill the beans. Nicole brings up that Anna took EJ’s side in the whole Sydney situation. Anna points out that was years ago and acknowledges the challenges of being with DiMera men, so she agrees that they should stick together. Nicole thanks her and says she is very relieved. Anna thinks Nicole is really good for EJ. Anna knows EJ would never admit it, but he was deeply hurt by Sami and she’s happy to say that EJ seems in much better spirits since he and Nicole got together. Nicole responds that she’s just worried about her infidelity and that maybe she should tell EJ. Anna says no and that it would be a big mistake. Nicole brings up that her cheating and hiding it has caused a lot of pain like what she did to Rafe. Anna calls this an entirely different situation since what happened with Eric meant nothing, so she shouldn’t let it ruin what she has with EJ. Anna says it would be one thing if Nicole and Eric wanted to be together, but she told her that they don’t, so she questions why rock the boat. Nicole says it would be to keep the guilt from eating her alive. Anna argues that she has nothing to be guilty about since it was a one time mistake and it only happened because they were stoned. Anna suggests putting a lid on it and moving on. Nicole agrees to do that then. Anna declares that if she’s learned one thing over the years, it’s that it’s perfectly fine to have a few harmless secrets from your partner. Anna jokes about Tony not wanting to know how much wine she drank or that she spent a fortune on her crystal lamp shade. Anna says it’s just best to forget that and adds that what their men don’t know can’t hurt them. EJ then enters the room.

Paulina goes to the Brady Pub and tells Sloan that her ass is hers. Sloan tells her to back off and reminds her of her restraining order. Paulina declares that Abe just told her that he put an end to her court order and then told her about the breakfast biscuits. Sloan remarks that she heard about Chanel poisoning half the town. Paulina shouts that Chanel had nothing to do with it and calls Sloan the psycho who spiked the dough. Sloan asks if she has any evidence. Paulina assures it will be found, especially since it sent Rafe and others to the hospital, so they won’t rest until they get the proof they need to put Sloan in a cage. Paulina tells Eric that Sloan is going to prison and suggests he step back before she drags him down with her. Paulina calls Sloan the skank who was stupid enough to take her on. Eric stops Paulina and says he knows she’s upset about what happened at the Bakery and he had one of the biscuits so he’s not happy either, but he knows Sloan was not responsible for this. Paulina questions how the hell he’s so certain. Eric responds that Sloan told him and he believes her. Paulina never thought Marlena would raise a fool but says she was wrong about that. Paulina warns Eric not to come crying to her when Sloan stabs him as she then storms out of the Pub.

EJ questions what Nicole and Anna are talking about. Anna claims that she was just asking Nicole if she would prefer red or white wine with dinner this evening. EJ calls it a coincidence as he came to ask the same thing. Nicole calls that thoughtful and kisses EJ. Nicole decides on white wine. EJ tells her that dinner is just about ready, so they exit the room.

Gabi questions Stefan wanting them to move in to the DiMera Mansion when EJ hates her and he didn’t let her and Jake move in there. Stefan comments on forgetting that she was involved with his twin brother. Gabi insists that she was only with Jake because she wished he was Stefan. Stefan states that EJ does not intimidate him and that house was Stefano’s house and there’s nothing he valued more than family, so they are going to walk through those doors with their heads held high. Gabi agrees that they will go home then and they leave the hospital together.

Johnny pleads with Li to call Wendy back but Li says he knows she won’t answer. Johnny asks him to try, so Li calls her and it goes straight to voicemail. Li encourages Johnny to give Wendy some time to cool down. Johnny complains that Wendy flew off to see Tripp, who she already told him that she’s interested in, so he could lose her to another guy. Li tells Johnny that he can sit here and cry but he needs to be quiet about it because he’s not in the mood for his drama. Johnny agrees to go then. Johnny asks Li to just explain to Wendy what really happened if he happens to hear from her. Li says he’s sorry but he knows his sister and there is no way she’s calling him back tonight. Johnny then exits the apartment.

Tripp asks Wendy if she’s sure she doesn’t want to call Johnny back since there could be a reasonable explanation for all this. Wendy argues that Johnny is a player and complains that so many people including his twin sister warned her but she didn’t listen. Wendy doesn’t want to talk about Johnny as she came here to see Tripp. Wendy suggests they have that dinner that he promised her and asks if he knows any good places to eat. Tripp says he can think of one.

Li sadly removes his wedding ring and places it on a table next to Gabi’s as he then exits the apartment.

Johnny walks through the town square and makes a call to book a flight to Seattle.

Tripp cooks dinner for he and Wendy. Wendy is impressed and thanks him for doing all of this. Tripp mentions picking up a few things when he worked at a restaurant. Tripp pours them wine and they toast to old friends and new possibilities.

Sloan reminds Eric that she said she wanted to be his girlfriend and he kind of shut down on her. Eric blames that on Paulina showing up and says he’s sorry about the way she went off on her. Sloan says she can handle Paulina, but asks if what Paulina said brought back his suspicions about her and if he changed his mind about her. Eric responds that he did change his mind about her but because of what she said, not Paulina. Eric says listening to Sloan made him realize that what they have been doing needs to end because he wants more, just like her. Eric declares that he would love for Sloan to be his girlfriend. They kiss and then Sloan jokes that she won’t pretend to like his family’s chowder or anything.

EJ and Nicole go to the living room where Anna joins Tony as well. Tony tells Anna about dinner. EJ tells Nicole that he’s relieved that this day is coming to a close and they can put all of their hallucinogenic hijinks behind them. Nicole agrees and kisses EJ. EJ asks what that was for. Nicole says she just wanted him to know that she’s noticed the effort he’s put in to making her feel like a priority and like she’s important to him. Nicole says that makes her so happy and she appreciates it so much as she hugs EJ. Tony pours wine and proposes a toast to family. Tony says Stefano would be so proud to see them making a toast together under his roof. Stefan walks in with Gabi and says they better pour two more glasses then. EJ questions what they are doing here. Stefan says they live here and announces that he and Gabi have once again decided to make this place their home.

Alex went to see Marlena to see if there was any news about Kayla. She let him know that she hadn’t heard anything. He was hoping there would be some news so he could be redeemed. She wondered if he wanted another chance with Stephanie and he admitted that he did. He thought the therapy was helping, but he didn’t think he needed it anymore. Kristen tried to call Brady, but he wouldn’t answer the phone. She got upset and yelled. Someone told her to take it easy. It turned out to be Megan. Kristen noted how good she looked for a dead person. Megan told her what her secret was for looking good. She told Kristen about the crimes that led her to prison. Kristen realized she lied about Thomas Banks taking Kayla. She wondered who took Kayla. She knew it couldn’t be Stefano or Bo since they were both dead. She realized what happened to Megan and wondered Bo was alive. Megan didn’t trust her enough to let her know yet. She wanted to settle in at the prison. Brady told John about Stephanie mentioning Victor under hypnosis. He said that Victor didn’t know anything about Kayla’s kidnapping. Chad and Stephanie flew to Greece to check his properties. Brady hoped they weren’t walking into a trap. John wanted to help with the search, but he didn’t want to be away from Marlena. Brady understood that. He mentioned Chloe and what’s going on between her and Rachel. John warned him that cutting Kristen out will only make Rachel more resistant to Chloe.

Bo deleted Stephanie’s text to Steve. Hope was worried because she didn’t hear from Steve. She suddenly received a text from him. The text said he was with Stephanie. She texted him back about what’s going on with the search for Thomas. Harris and Hope talk about their dance and the kiss they shared at the tavern. There was a knock on the door so Harris left to change. Hope answered the door and it was Chad and Stephanie. Bo was upset about the text he just sent to Hope pretending to be Steve. He brought food for Steve and Kayla to eat. He demanded that Kayla get started on the prism. He said that Stephanie was on the island and Hope was searching so the time was winding down. Steve threw his stew on Bo and they fought over the gun. Hope mentioned that Steve texted her that he was with Stephanie. Stephanie told her that she hadn’t seen him since they left Salem. Harris thought they should go to the police station since that’s the last time he was seen. Chad told them they had a lead. He told them that they had a list of Victor’s properties. Hope said she would go to the station while Chad and Harris divide the properties. Chad and Stephanie left to start searching. Hope thanked Harris for his help with her family. He wanted to help her since she gave him back his life. Bo got the upper hand in the fight. He aimed the gun at Steve. Steve told him to pull the trigger. Bo agreed and shot at him. He was splashed with wine. Bo warned him that it would be his brain next time. Steve yelled at him for trying to be corrupt. Bo told him that he shot Kate. Steve and Kayla try to use his kids and grandkids to get him to change his mind. He thought that made what he was doing more important. He demanded that she get back to work. She said she needed a lab and equipment. He told her that he would get her what she needed. Steve told Kayla the fact that Bo didn’t shoot him proves that he isn’t completely different. He knew Hope and Harris would find them. Hope arrived at the police station. She showed the police a picture of Steve. The officer said the director of the ISA took him into custody. Hope showed him a picture of Shane. The officer told her that wasn’t the man who took him. She wondered who took Steve. Bo opened the door to Harris.

Update written by Joseph

Rafe is in the hospital, thinking back to hallucinating Duke the teddy bear. Rafe remarks on that being totally normal. Abe enters the room and says he heard his police commissioner was in the hospital. Abe asks Rafe what happened. Rafe responds that he honestly has no idea but he has his best detective on the case…

Chanel and Talia go to the bakery and find Jada with her team of detectives. Jada tells them that they can’t be here until they are done collecting evidence as they need to treat the kitchen as a crime scene. Chanel argues that it’s her Bakery. Jada says she understands. Chanel complains that she doesn’t need any more evidence as they all know who drugged her biscuits.

Eric is in his room and thinks back to he and Nicole hooking up while drugged. Eric questions what he and Nicole did. Sloan then shows up at his door and asks if this is a bad time again. Sloan comments that at least he’s alone and asks if he was expecting somebody else.

Nicole enters the living room of the DiMera Mansion and sits down as she thinks back to kissing Eric. EJ enters and asks for her thoughts.

Melinda is in the hospital. Stefan visits her with flowers. Melinda jokes that she’s not dead yet. Stefan asks how she’s feeling. Melinda responds that the only thing hurting is her pride as a few hours ago, she thought he really wanted her but it turns out that she was just delusional.

Li is at home, looking at a photo of he and Gabi on his phone and then to the photo of Gabi and Stefan in bed. Gabi then comes home. Li asks about the hallucinations. Gabi says her test results haven’t come back yet. Li asks if she’s sure she shouldn’t still be at the hospital. Gabi insists that she’s fine. Li wishes she called him to drive her home but Gabi says it’s okay. Li guesses she didn’t need him to stay at the hospital as she seemed to be in good hands with Stefan.

Melinda admits she’s still hazy on the details of what happened to her. Stefan asks what she does remember. Melinda has a vivid memory of trying to bash his head in with a remote and says she doesn’t remember what happened to her as it’s like she totally lost her mind. Stefan thinks he knows why as they went on a trip they had not planned.

EJ tells Nicole that he didn’t mean to interrupt as whatever had her attention must have been engaging. Nicole says she was just daydreaming and mentions being a little off lately but not knowing why. EJ reveals it was the breakfast biscuits and informs her of the rumor that they were dosed with a toxin that has caused erratic behavior all over Salem.

Eric tells Sloan that he’s really glad to see her as she hasn’t been responding to his texts. Sloan responds that she didn’t come for a visit but she thought she may have left her favorite scarf here. Eric doesn’t think so but tells her that she’s free to look. Sloan looks around and doesn’t see it. Eric says he’s sorry. Sloan says she’ll just get out of his way then and out of his life. Eric stops her and brings up what she said before. Sloan comments on finding him and Nicole tangled in the sheets and says there are a lot of things she wanted to say but didn’t. Eric brings up that Sloan suggested they were drugged and questions what would make her think that.

Chanel tells Jada that Sloan has been trying to destroy her life ever since she got to Salem and complains that she decided to come after her business by poisoning the customers. Talia thinks back to being the one who drugged the biscuits. Jada tells Chanel that she needs proof and mentions checking for fingerprints. Chanel and Talia point out that their prints would be there. Jada asks if anyone else was in there. Chanel assures that they do a thorough cleaning after they finish up. Jada notes that if Sloan’s prints do show up, she would have a lot of explaining to do but as a detective, she can’t afford to jump to conclusions. Jada adds that she hasn’t even started questioning anyone, but she thinks she needs to start with Talia. Talia asks why she would question her. Chanel asks if she seriously thinks it was her sister. Jada says of course not but she said the biscuit recipe was Talia’s, so she needs to know what she put in them to compare with the lab results. Talia says she usually keeps her recipes a secret but she can trust her sister so she will tell her. Jada says she appreciates that and turns on her recorder. Talia calls it a very simple recipe with whole wheat flour, baking powder, nonfat yogurt, sugar, kosher salt, honey, butter, and healthy organic buttermilk. Jada notes that it sounds healthy. Chanel argues that they shouldn’t make anyone sick. Jada says not regularly but they have been linked to multiple illnesses. Talia asks how bad it was. Jada responds that the hallucinations were the worst of the symptoms but some of the victims had it so bad that they were sent to the hospital.

Abe asks if Rafe thinks he was poisoned. Rafe thinks drugged would be more appropriate. Abe asks if he was personally targeted. Rafe doesn’t think so as apparently Gabi and Stefan had similar effects to his and it seems they all fell under a powerful hallucinogenic drug. Abe worries that if this is widespread throughout Salem, they are just beginning to learn the consequences.

Li tells Gabi that it was clear she wasn’t in her right mind earlier. Gabi acknowledges that she thought he was Stefan and recalls that she practically begged him to make love to her. Li confirms that she did, so Gabi asks why he didn’t.

Stefan tells Melinda that he only came on to her because he thought she was Gabi. Stefan tells her not to take it personal as she is a very desirable woman but he is hopelessly in love with someone else. Melinda apologizes for not handling it well which they laugh about. Melinda wants to prosecute the person who drugged them and asks if she’s right to assume it was EJ. Stefan reveals that it was not and for once, he thinks that EJ was innocent.

Nicole asks if the hallucinations happened to EJ too which he confirms. EJ admits at first he thought Stefan was responsible but it turns out he was a victim too. Nicole asks what it was like for EJ. EJ says that when he went to the office, it was like he stepped in to the looking glass. Nicole asks how weird it got. EJ jokes that he used the copy machine to produce an image of what some would say is his good side and when he tried to distribute it company wide, he was suddenly convinced that his e-mail password was EJ repeated a thousand times. EJ says it would’ve ended his tenure as CEO. Nicole asks if he has any copies. EJ jokes that she has a standing invitation to see it in person any time she likes. EJ then asks if Nicole did anything crazy while under the influence. Nicole admits that she actually did. EJ asks what she did. Nicole thinks back to being with Eric and then claims to EJ that when she was experiencing delusions, she went to Basic Black and cut off all the collars of the summer line because she was convinced it looked like something a priest would wear. EJ calls that odd but fortunate that she didn’t do something more extreme. Nicole agrees and says at least EJ didn’t call Wei Shin or make any rash decision concerning DiMera like when Stefan drugged him. Nicole notes that it seems EJ and Stefan have declared war again. EJ confirms that they have and assures that this time, he’s going to win decisively.

Stefan admits to Melinda that at first, he thought EJ was behind it as well but it turns out that EJ, Rafe, and a bunch of others also got sick and it turns out they were drugged by the biscuits at Sweet Bits. Stefan adds that the police are working on it now. Melinda insists that she will stay on them so that the person responsible will be punished. Melinda tells Stefan that he can go and adds that he can take his flowers with him because the charade is over. Melinda adds that he and Gabi can have their happily ever after, so he can give the flowers to her.

Li admits to Gabi that he was tempted to take her to bed, but he didn’t want it to happen like that because of some drug tricking the mind. Gabi points out that he hasn’t been above tricking her before. Li can’t deny that but says this was different and not real. Li adds that he loves her too much to take advantage of her like that. Li says he was so sure that if he had six months of marriage, he could make her love him again but the goal was never just to have her in bed, but to have her heart. Li say seeing how Gabi looked at him when she thought he was Stefan made him know in that moment that it was never going to happen.

Abe asks if Rafe is saying someone put the hallucinogen in to Chanel’s baked good. Abe questions who and why. Rafe says Jada is there now trying to figure that all out. Abe is relieved Rafe is doing okay but worries that this seems like more than a prank and could lead to some serious consequences. Rafe tells Abe that he knows and the drug caused him to do something he shouldn’t have but not something serious in the grand scheme of things. Abe asks if he’s going to tell him what he did that he shouldn’t have. Rafe agrees to tell Abe and reveals that he kissed Jada.

Chanel asks Jada about Rafe being in the hospital. Jada confirms he was taken in for observation but is expected to make a full recovery. Talia comments that Jada must be relieved because she knows how much Rafe means to her. Jada questions why that sounds like an accusation and states that Rafe is her boss and that’s it. Chanel asks what Rafe did when under the influence. Jada thinks back to Rafe kissing her. Talia then asks if Jada is okay. Jada tells them to just focus on the case. Chanel asks if Jada is going to arrest Sloan now or what.

Eric asks Sloan what would make her say that he and Nicole were drugged. Sloan points out that they were both babbling on like lunatics with Nicole saying she saw Eric dressed like a priest and Eric saying he saw Nicole in a bikini. Eric admits that he thought he did. Sloan calls it highly unlikely that they would get high together. Eric talks about still not knowing what caused him to hallucinate. Sloan reveals that it turns out that half the town got drugged by the biscuits at Sweet Bits. Sloan remarks that if it’s not bad enough that Chanel killed her parents, she had to go and poison the whole town. Eric asks if Sloan is sure that she’s the one who did this. Sloan asks who else and adds that Chanel will turn it around on her with everyone going along with it.

Talia doubts that Jada will find Sloan’s fingerprints since she likely wore gloves. Jada says they will see and points out that there were no signs of forced entry. Jada then notices the security camera which worries Talia. Chanel says she totally forgot that Paulina had them installed last month. Jada asks if she has access. Chanel confirms that she has an app on her phone which Jada notes would make things a lot easier. Chanel checks but finds there is no footage. Talia apologizes and says it’s all her fault because Chanel told her to turn them on when she locked up, but she must have forgot. Jada guesses the security cameras won’t tell them if anyone was there after Talia left.

Rafe assures Abe that he is fully aware of the new policy that prohibits relationships between supervisors and subordinates in the police department. Abe tells him it’s okay as he was under the influence of a substance that he did not willingly ingest. Rafe points out that rules are rules. Abe states that this will have to be documented. Rafe insists that nothing like this will ever happen again. Abe is glad to hear that and says he will talk to Jada. Rafe adds that he will too when he gets out. Abe trusts that Jada’s assessment of the situation will match Rafe’s. Rafe says he would assume so. Abe imagines they would all like to handle this discretely which Rafe confirms. Rafe adds that someone else also witnessed the event and it was Sloan Peterson.

Eric points out that Sloan didn’t eat the biscuits. Sloan asks if he’s insinuating that she knew they were drugged. Sloan argues that she would never eat anything from Chanel or her family. Eric says he believes her. Sloan brings up that Eric also thought she trashed Paulina’s office. Eric assures that he believes that she didn’t because she said she didn’t. Eric says he’s just glad she is okay. Sloan tells Eric to save all his cares and concerns for Nicole. Sloan complains that Eric promised and swore to her that it was over between he and Nicole, but somehow they found their way back to each other.

Nicole asks if EJ is sure that things between he and Stefan won’t get out of control. EJ appreciates her concern but assures that he can handle his bastard brother. Nicole jokes that he’s technically a bastard too. EJ says Stefan will learn that the hard way. EJ adds that he appreciates having Nicole in his corner but he doesn’t want to spend all their time together plotting Stefan’s downfall. EJ tells Nicole that right now, she has his full attention. EJ kisses Nicole and then asks her what’s wrong.

Stefan tells Melinda that he’s sorry that all this happened to her. Melinda jokes that she’s sorry she tried to murder him. Stefan says maybe he had it coming. Melinda acknowledges that Stefan was always honest about why she was there and what he needed from her, while she was the one who wasn’t honest about her feelings. Stefan feels it was still insensitive to ask her to help him out in this way. Melinda comments that for a DiMera, he’s a pretty nice guy. Stefan jokingly tells her not to let that get around.

Gabi questions if Li’s new strategy is to get her to realize he’s suddenly this nice guy. Li says it’s not a strategy, he’s just facing reality. Li mentions talking to Wendy earlier before Gabi’s episode and he was going to tell her when she walked in that he’s giving up on chasing after her. Li declares that he’s letting Gabi go, so she’s free from their agreement, their marriage, and all of it, so she can be with the man she loves.

Nicole tells EJ that she’s sorry and guesses she’s still feeling loopy from the biscuits. Nicole says she’ll be fine and thinks she just needs a shower to try and clear her head. EJ tells her to do what she needs, so Nicole then heads upstairs.

Eric tells Sloan that he and Nicole are not together. Sloan says they could have fooled her. Eric points out that she said herself that they were not in their right minds. Sloan questions that they just happened to end up together. Eric states that they have history while Sloan says it felt like current events. Eric insists that what happened was a one time thing. Sloan questions why she should believe that. Eric argues that he and Nicole are not together and can barely tolerate each other, so it doesn’t change anything and he hopes it doesn’t change anything between he and Sloan. Sloan says whatever as it’s not like she’s his girlfriend. Eric points out that she came to apologize. Sloan says she was hurt because he made her feel like he didn’t trust her but admits she overreacted. Eric accepts her apology and hopes she will accept his. Eric hopes they can then go downstairs and have dinner. Sloan questions him wanting to have dinner after all of this and asks then what. Eric says they will see where it takes them.

Rafe explains to Abe that they called Sloan to the police station to examine her phone to see if she was sending threatening texts to Paulina and that’s when Sloan walked in on Rafe kissing Jada. Rafe would be surprised if Sloan didn’t use it against him. Abe calls it ironic because Sloan is probably responsible for the kiss even happening. Rafe asks if Abe thinks Sloan drugged the biscuits. Abe responds that they both know someone is targeting Chanel’s bakery and Sloan is the most likely suspect.

Chanel tells Jada that she doesn’t need security footage to know that Sloan is the rat in their kitchen. Talia points out that they still don’t have any proof. Jada declares that until they find something to connect Sloan to the biscuits, there’s nothing she can do. Chanel complains that Sloan is ruining her life. Jada tells them to keep their distance from Sloan and let her do her job. Jada promises to find who did this and bring them to justice.

Stefan asks Melinda if she’s sure she’s going to be okay. Melinda assures that she’ll survive and tells Stefan to go before people get the wrong idea about them. Stefan doesn’t care what other people think and says he has seen a different side of Melinda through all of this. Stefan admits she’s pretty cool, fun, and attractive. Stefan adds that some guy will be very lucky to have her in his life for real. Melinda thanks him and tells Stefan to go be with the woman he loves because there’s no reason for them to be apart anymore. Stefan agrees now that Li knows everything.

Gabi questions Li letting her go and admits she’s surprised since he spent a year doing everything he could to hang on to her. Gabi thought he would try to punish her when he learned the truth about her and Stefan. Li admits he was angry, but mostly hurt, and it’s obvious to him that she doesn’t regret it which Gabi confirms. Li responds that he has lots of regrets. Li says he was groomed to be a success at business for his whole life and to be cold, calculating, and take what he wants but he never learned the personal side. Li is afraid in his pursuit of Gabi and desperation to hold onto their relationships, he used tactics better suited for a hostile takeover than a marriage. Li declares that the worst part is that he hurt Gabi, but despite all of that, he hopes she knows that he really did love her. Gabi admits that she knows he did and that she hurt him too by agreeing to honor their marriage for six months which she did not do. Li understands she’s trying to be with the man she loves and keep ahold of the DiMera shares. Gabi asks if he can blame a girl for wanting to have it all. Li guesses they have that in common. Li declares that he will stop fighting for them but he will never stop believing they could’ve been good together. Gabi asks if the deal is off then which Li confirms. Gabi then removes her wedding ring and hands it back to Li.

Stefan thanks Melinda again for her help with EJ. Melinda reminds Stefan that he and Gabi both owe her one and when the time is right, she has every intention of collecting on that debt.

Gabi packs her bags and informs Li that her lawyer is starting to draw up divorce papers. Li says it should be a smooth process which Gabi says she appreciates. Li points out that they did have some really good times together. Gabi agrees and says she would like to look back on those times fondly. Gabi asks if Li would consider letting her keep his DiMera shares. Li says hell no. Gabi says it was worth a shot and then exits the apartment.

Jada visits Rafe in the hospital and asks how he’s feeling. Rafe says he’s doing fine. Abe asks how Jada is feeling. Rafe informs her that he told Abe what happened between them while he was under the influence of drugs. Jada says Rafe was not in his right mind, end of story, and wants to talk about the case. Rafe asks for the update. Jada notes that Chanel’s security cameras were not on last night but she did get a call from the lab, confirming that what was in Rafe’s system as well as Gabi’s and Melinda’s all matched something that was in the biscuits. Rafe asks what it was. Jada reveals it was a strong hallucinogen that they have not seen before. Jada adds that Chanel did not put it in her own batter, so someone is trying to destroy Chanel and her bakery. Rafe adds that they don’t care who they hurt to do it.

Chanel tells Talia that she turned on the security cameras so maybe Sloan will return and they will bust her this time. Talia apologizes for not turning them on last night. Chanel tells her not to worry and hugs Talia. Chanel promises that Jada will find out who did this and they will make them pay.

Sloan tells Eric that it’s not fair because she can’t say no to him. Eric calls that one of his favorite things about her. Eric suggests she go get them a table while he showers and he’ll be down in a minute. Sloan then exits. Eric gets a call from Nicole, who says she was just calling to make sure they were on the same page about what happened. Nicole mentions that she didn’t tell EJ and she doesn’t want him to know so it has to be their little secret. Eric agrees. Nicole is glad they could come together on this. Eric asks if there’s anything else. Nicole says that’s it and tells him to have a great day as they hang up. Nicole then heads in to her room while EJ comes out from his, having overheard her on the phone.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Seeing giant bears.

I heard my commissioner was in the hospital, babe. So what happened, Val? Honestly, I have no idea, but I have my best detective on the case.

Oh my God. What is all this? I’m sorry. You girls can’t be in here until we’re done collecting evidence. We need to treat this kitchen as a crime scene. Okay, but this is my bakery. I understand that. Okay. Then you should also understand that you don’t need any more evidence. We all know who slipped those drugs into my biscuit.

Oh, Erica, I want you so much. You are all I want. Nicole. Nicole, what did we do?

Um,

Is this a bad time? Again?

See, you’re alone. At least maybe you were expecting somebody else.

Your thoughts.

Hey. Oh, it’s you. Yep, it’s me. These are for you, Lil’s. I don’t think I’m dead yet. No, you’re very much alive. How you feeling? Anything hurt? No thing hurting is my pride. A few hours ago I thought you really wanted me. Turns out I was just delusional.

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

How are you? Did they say what was causing the hallucinations? They took some blood, but the, uh, test results haven’t come back yet. You sure you shouldn’t still be at the hospital? I’m fine. I started to feel better as soon as they hooked me up to the iv. You didn’t drive yourself home, did you? I wish you would’ve called me.

It’s okay. Really?

Oh, I guess you didn’t need me to stay with you at the. It seemed like you were in good hands. Stephan. You mean the real Stephan?

I admit, I I’m still hazy on the details of what happened to me. I must have been asleep when the doctor came in. So, um, what, uh, what do you remember? Uh, well, I have a vivid memory of trying to bash her head in with an ashtray. It was a remote. Oh, smoking can be hazardous to your health. I, I don’t know what happened to me.

It’s like I totally lost my mind. Yeah, me too. I, I think I know why. You and I went on a little trip we hadn’t planned ej. Hi, I, I didn’t mean to interrupt. Whatever. Had your attention must have been quite engaging. Yeah, I was just daydreaming. I’ve been a little off all day and I’m not sure why. Those biscuits are the culprit.

I’m sorry. A rumor has those yummy little confections were spiked with a toxin that has caused erratic behavior all over the cell.

What? Well, I’m really glad to see you. You haven’t been responding to my text. Yeah, I didn’t come here for a visit. So what brings you by. I, um, I thought I might have, um, left a scarf here. It’s my favorite. Well, I don’t think so, but you know, please feel free to look. Uh, no. Yeah, I don’t see it. I’m sorry. No worries.

Well, I’ll just get out of your way. And out of your life. Sloan, please wait. What is it about what you said before? Before when? Before I found you and Nicole tangled in those sheets right there. Oh, yes. But believe me, there was a lot of things that I wanted to say that I didn’t, and I appreciate that. But you suggested that Nicole and I must have been drugged.

What would make you think that?

Sloan Peterson has been trying to destroy my life since the minute she got to Salem. She tried to have me thrown to jail, and when that didn’t work, now she decided to come after my business by poisoning the customers.

Chan. If Sloan did this, then we will arrest her. But before that can happen, I need proof what proof the woman is a psycho. Well, let’s see if any prints turn up. Uh, well, you’re gonna find my prints, of course, and mine. Do you know if anyone else has been in this kitchen? Talia and I were alone in here last night, and we always do a thorough cleaning after we close up shop.

So if we find a new prints Sloans, if we find Sloan’s prints, then she’ll have a lot of explaining to do. But as a detective, I cannot afford to jump to any conclusions. I haven’t even started questioning anyone, but I think I need to start with you.

Wait, why would you question me? You don’t seriously think your sister would? Of course not. But you said that the recipe for the biscuits for Talia, so I need to know what you put in them so I can compare them to the lab results. Alright. Well, I usually keep my recipes a secret, but I think I can trust my own sister.

So yeah, of course. I’ll tell you. I’d appreciate that. Okay. If I record you? Yeah, fine. No problem. Um, it’s actually a very simple recipe. Wheat flour, baking powder, not fat. Yogurt, sugar, kosher salt, honey butter, and a pour of healthy organic buttermilk. Hmm, sounds healthy. You know, the biscuits might raise your cholesterol, but they shouldn’t make anyone sick.

Well, not under regular circumstances, but these Biss were linked to multiple illnesses. How bad was it? Well, the hallucinations were the worst symptoms. Some of the victims experienced it so bad that they were sent to the hospital.

You think you were poisoned? I think drugged would be more appropriate. Were you personally targeted? I don’t think so. Apparently Gabby and Stephan had a similar experience to mine. Seems like we all fell under the effects of a powerful hallucinatory drug, but this is widespread throughout Salem. We’re just beginning to learn the consequences.

You know, when you were here earlier, it was pretty clear that you weren’t in your right. No, I wasn’t. I, I was convinced that you were stuffing and from what I remember, I practically begged you to make love to me. You did. So why didn’t you

like I attempted to explain, Before we’ve tried to claw my eyes out. Oh, I only came onto you because I thought you were Gabby. And then we got into bed and you realized it was just little old me. Don’t take this personally. Ugh. Melinda, you are a very desirable woman. I just happen to be hopelessly in love with somebody else.

Yeah, that. Much as obvious to me now, like, and I apologize for not handling it well. It’s kind of an understatement, huh? Yeah, little bit. She thought you were gonna kill me at one point. I don’t think I would’ve taken it that far. Mm. But it does seem like you might have a good case for saw and battery emphasis on the.

You’re not gonna press charges, are you? No. Besides, I think the, uh, DA will decline to prosecute. Uh, I appreciate that. Mm-hmm. There is one person that the DA sure as hell is gonna prosecute person who drugged us. Yeah. Am I right to assume that it was ej? No, actually it’s, it’s not for once. I actually think my brother is innocent.

It happened to you too, the hallucinations? Mm-hmm. I must admit, at first I thought Stephan was the one responsible for the poisoning that he’d come after me, but as fate would have it, my brother was a victim. Okay, so what was it like for you after you ate the biscuits? Well, uh, when I stepped into the office, it was if I suddenly stepped through the looking la ooh, how weird did it get?

For starters, I used the copy machine to produce a rather personal image of what some would say is. Good side. Wow. That is your good side. Mm-hmm. Furthermore, when I tried to distribute the rendered copy, uh, company wide, I, um, I suddenly was convinced that my email password was letter E and the letter J all in caps repeated over and over again 1000 times.

Oh, and that’s not your password. No. No, it’s not. And that would’ve been quite a public relations disaster. And would have ended. No pun intended. My tenures co. C o Oh, I don’t know if it would’ve been that bad, but, uh, Hey, you got any, uh, extra copies now? Why would you want to fact simile when you have a standing invitation to see it in real life?

Oh, ah, I will, I will definitely keep that in mind. Mm-hmm. So tell me, do you do anything crazy while under the influence? Oh, Actually I did.

So what did you do while under, under the Influence? I hope you didn’t embarrass yourself as much as I did.

Here you go. Oh.

Actually,

when I was experiencing the delusions, I went to basic black and I cut off all the colors of the samples for the summer line. The colors? Yeah, because apparently I was convinced that it looked like something a priest would wear. Ah, that is definitely. Huh. But fortunate you didn’t do anything more extreme.

Yes. Very fortunate. But at at least you didn’t call way shin or make any other rash decision having to do with Humira. Right? Right. Like I did when Stephan drug me. Exactly. And speaking of whom, it, it sounds like the two of you have declared war again. Yes, we have. And this time I’m going to win decisively.

You know, initially yes, I thought it was e j’s handiwork, but from what I hear, EJ and Rafe and a whole bunch of other people got sick too in the working theory is that everybody was drugged. I’m eating the biscuits at Sweet Bits. The biscuits. The biscuits. Really? Yeah. So the Saban PDs working on it now.

For better or worse. Oh, I’ll stay on them. The person who did this will be punished accordingly. I don’t doubt that. And now you can go. Um, and please feel free to take your flowers with you. Why would I do that? I brought them for you. Come on, the char is over. Stephan. You and Gabby can have your happily ever.

So give the flowers to her.

Well, I don’t have to tell you, I was sorely tempted to take you to bed, but I didn’t want it to happen like that cuz of some drug tricking the mind. Let’s be honestly, you haven’t been above tricking me before. I can’t deny that, but no, this was, this was d. It wasn’t real and I love you too much to take advantage of you like that.

Really, really, you know, I was so sure that if I just had six months of marriage to you of, of living together, that I, I could make you love me again. But the goal was never just to, to have you in my bed, is to have your heart and. Seeing the way you looked at me when you thought I was Stephan,

I just, I knew in that moment that it wasn’t gonna happen. Not today, not ever.

Are you saying that you think that someone put that hallucinogen into Chanel’s baked goods now? Who? Why? Well, Jada’s over there right now trying to figure that all out. Well, I am relieved. You’re doing okay. Thanks. But this seems like more than a prank, this could alleged to some serious consequences.

Yeah, believe me, I know. Although the drug did, uh, cause me to do something that I shouldn’t have, albeit not so serious. I mean, On the grand scheme of things, Uhhuh. Okay. Are you going to tell me what you did that you shouldn’t have? Sure. Yeah. I’ll tell you,

I kissed Jada.

So your boss, Rafe, he was one of the people in the hospital. Yeah. Commissioner Hernandez. Phil Ill, and was taking there for observation. How’s it gonna be? Okay. Yeah. He’s expected to make a full recovery. Wow. You must feel relieved. I know how much he means to you. Why does that sound like an accusation?

I’m just saying he’s my boss. That’s it. Okay. So, uh, what did he do? I mean, when he was under the influence

ti. Huh? Are you okay? You look a little warmer. Yeah. Yeah. I, uh, it’s kind of warm in this kitchen. Sure. Look. Can we, can we just focus on the case, please? Okay. Now that you’re done questioning us, are you gonna arrest Sloan Peterson or what?

You’re sitting, Nicole and I could have been drugged. What would make you say that? Uh, well, for starters, the both of you kept babbling on like a couple of lunatics. I mean, she said she saw you dress as a priest. And you said you saw her in a bikini? Yeah, and I thought I did. Mm-hmm. Well, look, maybe I’m being too generous, but it seemed highly unlikely that the two of you would intentionally get high together.

Well, until you said that, I still couldn’t figure out what caused me to hallucinate. I still don’t. I do. Yeah. Turns out half of town got sick off those baked goods from Sweet bits. Sweet bits. Remember those biscuits, you kept pushing on me. They were tainted. As if it’s not bad enough. Chanel killed both my parents.

She’s gotta go and poison the whole town. You’re sure that she’s the one who did this? Come on. Who else? And you know she’s gonna turn this around on me and the whole town’s gonna go along with this.

I highly doubt you’re gonna find Sloan’s prints in here. I mean, don’t you think she would’ve been smart enough to wear gloves? We’ll see. I did note that there were no signs of forced. Wait, you security cameras. What? Oh my God, I, I totally forgot. Yeah, mama. And insisted that she have her guys come install them like last month.

You can access them. Yeah. Yeah. I have an app on my phone. Well, that would make things a lot easier now, wouldn’t it?

Okay, let’s see. Date yesterday. Time. Oh no, Chanel. I’m so sorry. It’s all my fault. How is this your fault? There’s no footage from last night because she told me to turn it on before I locked up. But I must have been so excited about dinner with you and your mom that I must have forgotten. I guess the security cameras won’t tell us if anyone was here.

After Talia left,

before you lay into me, let me again assure you that I am fully aware of the new policy that prohibits romantic relationships between supervisors and subordinates at Salem pd. It’s okay, Ray, you are under the influence of a substance that you didn’t willingly ingest. Yes. By rules or rules, yes, they are.

And this will have to be documented per policy. Of course. And I want you to know nothing like this will ever happen again. Well, I’m glad to hear that. And I’ll talk to Detective Hunter as will I, as soon as I get outta here and back on. And I trust that, uh, that her assessment of this situation will match yours.

I would assume so. And I imagine that we all would like to handle this discreetly. Yes, I would definitely like that as hopefully We’ll, detective Hunter, however, there was. Someone else who witnessed the event. Someone saw you kissing Jada. Yeah. Not just someone, Sloane Peterson.

Okay. Why are you looking at me like that? I was just, well, you didn’t eat any of those biscuit. Yeah, I didn’t eat any Are you insinuating I knew the biscuits were drugged. No, I was just thinking that because Eric, honestly, I would never eat those biscuits because I would never eat anything from that girl or her family.

I mean, you believe me, right? Yes. You know, cuz you did. He did, um, suggest that I trashed plaintiff’s office evil. I asked and you answered, you said you had nothing to do with. You didn’t vandalize her office or send her threatening texts, and I believe you. You sure? Yes. I’m sure you said you didn’t need any of those biscuits.

I’m just glad you’re okay. That’s sweet, Eric. But you can save all your cares and concerns for Nicole. Wait, Sloan, wait. No, you promised me. You swore to me it was over between you two and somehow you find your way back to one another.

Are you sure? The thing between you and Stefan isn’t gonna get outta control. I appreciate that. You are concerned for me, but I can handle my Ba of brother. Hmm. Technically aren’t you a bastard too? Damn, rod. I am. And Ste is going to learn that the hard way. Look Nicole, I appreciate having you in my corner.

I really do. Like I established before, I don’t want to spend all our time together plotting my brothers down for, so right now you. Have my full attention.

What’s

Linda? For what it’s worth, um, I’m sorry. All this happened to you. I appreciate it and I’m sorry I tried to murder you. Oh, maybe I had it coming. No, you didn’t. You were always honest about. Why I was there and what you needed from me. I was the one who wasn’t honest about my feelings to, to you or to myself.

Well, it was still insensitive of me to ask you to help me out in this way. You know, for a demira, you’re a pretty nice guy. Oh, don’t let that make its way around. Oh.

Is this your new strategy? That kept me to think that suddenly you’re this nice guy. It’s not a strategy, just facing reality. Talked to Jing Wen earlier before you had your episode, I was going to tell you when you walked in, tell me what I’m giving. I’m chasing after you. Gabby. You are giving up. Yeah, I’m letting you go.

You’re free. From our agreement, from our marriage, from all of it. You can be with the man you love.

I am, I’m sorry, I, I guess I’m still feeling a little loopy from whatever was in those biscuits. You weren’t feeling well? No. I’ll be fine. I think I just need to go upstairs, take a shower and try to clear my head. Of course. Do what you need to.

Nicole and I are not together, could fool me. You said yourself. We were not clear minded. It was just random that the two of you ended up in bed together. I don’t deny that we have history feels more like current events. Okay. What happened here was a one-time thing. And why should I believe that? Because Nicole and I are not together.

Even when we’re clearheaded, we can barely tolerate each other. That doesn’t change anything for you or for her? Both. And I’m hoping this doesn’t change anything between you and me. Whatever. Like it’s not like I’m your girlfriend. So you keep saying, but you came here earlier to apologize. Correct? Look, I was hurt.

Okay. Because you made me feel like you didn’t trust me with the whole pulling and Chanel thing, and, but yes, I overreacted then. Yes, I accept your apology as I hope that you will accept mine. And what I’d really like to do is for us to go downstairs and have dinner together. You wanna have dinner after all this dinner?

Yes. And then what? And then we’ll see where it takes us.

So we called Sloan into the station so we could examine her phone. Sincere. She’s the one sending those threatening texts to Paulina. Yes. And that’s when she walked in on you kissing Jada Pat timing, huh? Yeah, he could say that, especially considering Sloan’s insistence that she’s innocent and the victim of police harassment.

You think she’s gonna use this against you? I’d be surprised if she didn’t. Yeah. It’s ironic. Sloan is probably responsible for that kiss even happening. So you think that she’s the one who put the drug in the biscuits? Well, we both know that somebody’s targeting, she knows bakery Sloan is the most likely suspect.

Look, I don’t need surveillance footage to know that Sloane Peterson is the rat in our. Only rides are smart and we still don’t have any proof. She’s right, Chanel. Until we find something that connects Sloane to those biscuits, there’s nothing I can do. Damn, that bitch is ruining my life. I understand. But for now, both of you need to keep your distance from her.

Let me do my job. And I promise you, we will find who did this and bring them to justice.

You sure you’re gonna be okay from the poisoning or from you trampling on my heart. Both. I’ll survive and goun. You don’t want people to get the wrong idea about us, do you? I don’t care what other people think and I have to say. Through all this, I got to see a different side of you, Melinda, the woman, as opposed to the da.

And I have to say, you, uh, you’re pretty cool and fun and attractive, and some guy one day is going to be very lucky to have you in his life. For real. Well, thanks. And now you should go be with the woman that you love. There’s no reason for you guys to be a part anymore. Right? That’s right. Now that Lee Shin knows everything.

You are letting me go. You seem surprised. Of course. I’m surprised you’ve spent a year doing everything you can to try to hang on to me. I. I just thought that when you knew the truth about stuff and I, yes. I thought you’d tried to punish me. Well, I can’t deny that I was angry, but mostly hurt. It’s obvious to me that you don’t regret it.

I don’t.

Well, I have regrets. Lots of them. You know, my, my whole life I was groomed to be the success at business, to be cold and calculating and take what I want, but I, I never learned the personal side, and I’m afraid that, In my pursuit of you and and desperation to hold on to our relationship, I used tactics that were better suited for a hostile takeover than a marriage.

And the worst part is that I hurt you.

But despite all. I hope you know I, I really did love you.

I know you did, and yeah, I, I hurt you too. I, I made an agreement to honor our marriage for six months, and I did not honor that

you’re trying to be with the man you. And keep ahold of the Demer shares. Can you blame a girl for wanting to have it all?

Guess we have that in common, right? Yeah. Yes, we do. Well, I’m gonna start fighting for. But I’ll never stop believing that we could have been good together. We were good together. Right. You were so, uh, heels off,

deals off.

Thanks again for your help with me and e. You’re welcome. And now that you and Gabby have joined forces to take over the world, I need to remember one thing. All right? You both owe me one. And when the time is right, I have every intention of collecting on that debt.

I texted my lawyer, she’s starting to draw up divorce papers. Yeah. Don’t tell mine that this should be a smooth process. I appreciate that. We did have some really good times together, right? Yeah, for sure.

You know, since we did have good times and I’d like to look back on them fondly,

Maybe, maybe you consider letting me keep your Demari shares.

Hell no

worth the shot.

How are you feeling? Bossun? Doing fine. Thanks. And how are you feeling? Me? Yeah. I told the mayor what happened between us while I was under the influence of drugs. Okay. Well, I’m sure re explained to you that he was not in his right mind and a story. Hmm. So can we just, um, talk about the case now? Let’s do it.

What’s the. Oh, well, I just came from sweet bits and unfortunately Chanel security cameras were not engaged last night. Oh, that’s too bad. Yeah, but the lab called me on my way here. And the drugs found in your system as well as the DA’s and your sisters all matched something that were in those biscuits.

Okay, cool. What was it? A strong hallucinogen, something they hadn’t seen before. Needless to say, Chanel did not put that in her own batter. Meaning someone’s trying to destroy Chanel and her bakery and they don’t care who they hurt to do it.

Well, I turned on the security cameras. Better leave than never. Right. Hey, maybe Sloan will return to the scene of the crime and we can buster this time. Chanel, I am so sorry if I would’ve just turned on those damn cameras. Stop blaming yourself. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve forgotten to turn them on.

Look, I know you’ve got my back. Your sister’s gonna prove who did this and we are gonna make them pay.

This isn’t fair. Because you know, I can’t say no to you. It’s one of my favorite things about you. Hey, why don’t you go downstairs, grab us a table. I’ll take a quick shower and be down there in a minute,

Nicole.

Nicole, are you there? I’m, I’m here. Uh, I was just calling to make sure that we were on the same page about what happened and after we talked when Sloan left, we decided that yeah, we were both out of our minds because of some kind of drug. Right. And I, I didn’t tell ej and I don’t want him to know, so it has to be our little.

Agreed. Okay. Well, I’m, I’m glad we could come together on this. Anything else? No. No. That, that, that’s it.

Well, um, yeah. Have a great day. Yeah, you too.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Oh yeah. What the hell are you thinking that?

All right, let’s have it. Kristen, what is it that’s so damn important. What is it that you got to tell me that I’ve got to hear? Actually, it has to do with my long lost sister Megan hath. And her latest partner in crime.

Thomas Banks in the flesh. Now what are you two crazy kids doing here? What are we doing here? We’re looking for you. You maniac to find out what you did with my mother.

You sure? This is definitely not the man who took Steve Johnson to custody. No, it was not him. I had no way of knowing that he was not who he said he was. Okay. He showed me his badge. He told me he wanted to see the evidence from Wilhelm Ralph’s room. I know the rule of is under investigation, so I gave him the prisons.

Wait, prisms, you gave this man the prisms? Yes. He took them. Look, I’m sorry. Like I said, I, I, right. I, I, I understood. But then what? He just walked out of here. He left with the evidence and Steve, Look, I, I did not know that he was what he was going to do. Hold on, hold on. Is this the man who is posing is Shane Donovan.

Wait a minute. This, this, this can’t be, I’m sorry, but it, it is your, him, your hopefully husband. I don’t know what the hell you’re talking about. So if you excuse me. No, hold on. Hold on. It’s you. I know it’s you. I’ve seen a lot of pictures. You’re Bo Brady,

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

Xander. What the hell is wrong with you? What the hell is wrong with me? What the hell is wrong with you? That’s That’s a breakfast biscuit, Chloe. Yeah, it was until you annihilated it. What the hell? You can’t eat either. It’s crazy. I’m crazy. You are crazy. I’m about that biscuit this morning and I’ve been running around all day waiting to eat it and I had a million errands and now you’ve ruined it.

Unless you want your million and first errands to be a trip to University Hospital, leave the bloody biscuits alone. The hospital? Yeah. Oh. Have you not heard the news? Someone dosed those biscuits with hallucinogen. Anyone who eats one has seen pink elephants or worse. Wait. Seriously? Huh? Oh my God. Oh my God.

I almost ate that. Hey, look, I came along when I dead. Yeah. Thanks. Uh, so do they know who would lace those biscuits with drugs? I mean, who would do something like that? They don’t know they’re investigating, but. It’s a truly evil thing to do. Yeah, definitely. I mean, never did this. It’s clearly dangerous. Ah, wow.

Okay. Uh, well I guess the coffee cart probably still has some bagels though. They’re usually stale. Ah, wait a minute. Wait. Forget the stale bagels. Can’t let me treat to lunch. Oh, oh, oh. Uh, I think I might be hallucinating. Did you just offer to buy someone lunch? Who’s not you? I am a working man, man. I can forward to be generous.

Just, um, don’t let go around.

Megan Hathaway, what about her? Well, it turns out that she is now a fellow guest here at Statesville. And, and well, we start talking and, uh, we got to know each other a little bit. Wow. That’s fascinating. I don’t care. Kristen, why is this of the utmost importance? I was getting to that. You see, she gave me some details about the deals she made so she wouldn’t get locked up in a supermax Isa dungeon for eternity.

Kristin, I already know all of this. Megan Hathaway told the police that it was her henchman Thomas Banks that was responsible for Kayla’s kidnapping. Right. Look. So unless you is that I’m not so sure it was him.

Yeah. Well, I’ve heard. Two. Michael Harris. No, no. Scratch that. Reverse it. Harris Michaels, how do you know who I am? We have a mutual acquaintance, Megan Hathaway. I gotta tell you, man, she’s extremely proud of how she orchestrated your dissent. How did she put it? The corrupting of a good man, a Navy Seal with a impeccable record turned into a simple hired gun.

But even with all her conditioning, she missed something. It was soft side and the real fly in the ointment. Hope Brady,

who is that? His name is Thomas Banks. You have reason to believe he’s involved in all of this? No. Clearly I would not forget a face like that. It was not him. Okay. Then if it wasn’t Thomas Banks impersonating Shane Donovan. Then what did this man look like? Describe him to me please, in detail.

Now, isn’t that better than a crust, your breakfast biscuit? Well, I’m sure if that biscuit hadn’t been laced with the hallucinogens, it would’ve been divine, but this chatter is always delicious, so thank you. You’re welcome. It was at least I could do after that snack, attack outside, but it does occur to me that we are back where you bested me in dance Bested.

Okay. I am sorry, sir. I believe I, I wept the floor with you. Yes, you did. And it was quite humiliating actually. So maybe you’ll soothe my wounded ego by allowing me a rematch. Uh, well, since I’ve been doing a little dart technique research, I’m not sure that I would be able to soothe your wounded ego dart technique research.

Oh, yeah. It’s a whole thing. I mean, I learned it’s, it’s very important to lead with your elbow and then you use your sight line for your throwing. Can you use your dominant eye to look at the target while you aim? So, um, are you sure you’d like a rematch?

Well, now you’re fasty and I like it, but you’re gonna have to be just a little bit more specific, see and known a lot of mothers, off the top of my head, I just can’t remember what I did with heat. Is that really the game you’re gonna play? Banks game? I don’t even know the rules, Chad. Fine. Let me spell it out for you.

The woman you kidnapped is my mother, Kayla Johnson. And you are damn well gonna tell us where you took her. Sorry to disappoint you. You got the wrong dude.

Okay, so you are saying that you don’t think it was Thomas Banks that kidnapped Kayla? Based on what Megan was saying, I think it’s possible it could be someone else who, what are you saying, Megan? You’re saying that Bo Brady is alive.

I’ll tell you when you bring Rachel to see me, Kevin, you don’t. Is that what this is all about? Really? I should have known Kristen. Well, you can’t blame me for trying to use this information to my advantage. Kristin, you’ve never given me a reason to trust you. Why would you think that? I would think this is any.

You’re dangling some tidbit of information that I’m gonna find interesting. Just so you can see Rachel. Ready. I’m sorry, but you are really gonna want to hear this, not just you, everyone in Sailor. This news is so explosive and it’s gonna change a lot of people’s lives. Mm-hmm. I’ll think about it.

I don’t know how helpful my description will be. I mean, normally we have our sketch artist come in and draw a picture of Thep, but he’s working in another town. Okay. Please just. Something, anything. Does this man have any distinctive features? Scars, tattoos, tall, short, skinny. He was just pretty average looking guy.

Okay. Middle aged, brown hair, brown eyes, medium built. Sound like anyone you know.

Well, if you heard about me from, from Megan, maybe. She had something to do with bringing you back?

No, because when I, when I was in that lab, there was someone else in one of those polygenic tubes. But I never knew who it was,

but what Megan wanted most was those three prisms.

They were why she brought me under control, why she programmed me. Now, she didn’t tell me what she was gonna use ’em for, but I know that they had some healing properties that maybe they could be used to perform medical miracles. And now it all makes sense. She wanted to use the prisms to revive somebody in that cryogenic state, somebody that she left,

that somebody was you.

Unbelievable. It’s just unbelievable. Lemme see these darts. Have you got magnets in there or something? There are no magnets. I just happen to be extraordinary at this game. Yeah. But you’ve also been researching dart plane strategy behind my back, haven’t you? Uh, well, you were kind enough to warn me about those biscuits laced with drugs that would’ve had me saying pink offense or whatever.

So I will give you a handicap and for this next dart I. I’ll close my eyes. Oh, come on. You threw the first bullseye of your life last night with your eyes closed. Do you want the help or not?

Okay. Elbow sideline.

Did I nail it?

Yeah. You uh, you nailed it. All right.

All right, thanks. Hey, your boss Megan already told us that you’re the one that kidnapped you. Whoa. Whoa. No. Where’s your boss? Ele? I’m an independent contractor. Okay. I’m sure just like you looking for your mama, that’s why I followed you. You were following us. Oh yeah. You think it’s just a Wanka dance? We all ended up here.

I saw you in the hotel lobby and I knew you would take me to where I need to go now. Gimme the list. List. What list? I don’t have a list. Do you know anything? Now who? Who’s playing games? Blue ass. Huh? Who? I saw you talking, you were talking about all the places your mama could be. No. Give me the list now.

Before I get your fingers, you’re getting itchy. Hmm.

Costas, the man you just described today alone. I saw dozens of men that fit that same exact description. Yes. I’m afraid I just described half the population of Greece. Yes, you did. Look, as I said, the sketch artist is working in another town today, but I could call Ken. What about your security cameras?

May I see the footage? I’ll pull up the file. Thank you.

Oh my God.

That’s quite a narrative you’ve strung together. You do have a flare for the dramatic, it’s not really a narrative. I made up, I heard it from home. She told me how obsessed Megan was with you. Ah, yeah. Well, those feelings weren’t mutual. One of the many reasons I left that island. And you brought Kayla with you, right?

Why would I do that? Because she’s your sister.

Let me catch you up here. The rumor I heard is that this character by the name of banks kidnapped her. Yeah, yeah. No, I, I heard that. He just seems, I, I’m just curious. You, you don’t seem that really concerned about. How about your sister? Have you met Kayla? She’s tough. She knows how to take care of herself.

She always has. Right? So, so you’re saying that you and your sister were on the same island at the same time, and you left the island coincidentally around the same time, but you’re not together. What? Man, I, I didn’t even know she was on the island or why Megan brought her there. All I know is I was fed up with, Games.

And so I took off as fast as I could alone. Okay, I understand. But since I came all this way, uh, to find her. And since you have nothing to hide, I mean you wouldn’t mind if we took a look around together, would you? Yeah. Yeah. I kind of wouldn’t mind.

Oh my God. Are you okay? I dunno. Does this mean I finally get a point? Should you, should I pull it out? Yeah. No, no. Wait, wait, wait. Well maybe you should, I dunno if I want it, Eric. Wait, what if I punctured an artery or something? Right. If you punctured along, maybe I’ll deflate like a balloon. That’s that’s not how it works.

How do you know? Do they teach that in opera school? No. No, but you can’t walk around with a dart sticking out of your chest. What are we gonna do? I dunno. Well, unless you want to even me out. Ah, I guess we are taking a trip to University Hospital after all. Oh my God. Let’s get there.

Oh, all settled in, are you? Yes. Thank you. Although I had to evict my Sully from the bottom bunk, she wasn’t too keen on the idea, but I managed to convince her. I think once she gets back from the infirmary, I won’t have any further problems with her making good friends. Good for you. Mm-hmm. So, How’s Brady?

Brady? What do you mean? Oh, I think you know what I mean. I overheard your chat. Just now. You have to say you’re not very discreet. Ah, Megan. God, I was just talking and here I was thinking that we were on the precipice of a newfound sisterhood, talking about the good old day sharing secrets, boys drinking a bit of toilet wine together.

And yet, as soon as I turn my back there you are squawking to your man about me and about Bo Brady being alive. You know what? I actually didn’t say fine. Fine. I am sorry that I betrayed some sisterly confident. But I’m gonna level with you. The only thing that matters to me is my daughter and I will play any card.

I have to get a chance to see her. I completely understand Sister. But here’s the tiny problem with your little ski. You’re not holding any cards. I never said that Bo Brady was alive.

Nice meeting you and all, but we’re done here. So, Why don’t you run along home? Okay, wait. And if I don’t, what? Who are you gonna do? Are you really gonna shoot me?

Killing a military hero? Bad karma. So why don’t you just do what’s best for both of us and run along home? Now I’m gonna run straight to hope and tell her exactly what happened. And why would you do that? What? Why’d he sink? You know damn well she’s in love with you, and now knowing that you’re alive.

Come on. So this would be a selfless act. Selfless, yeah. You tell hope I’m alive. This budding romance of yours is abruptly over. So you ready to lose her?

The footage is gone. I, I don’t understand it. It’s all been erased. Well, how is that possible? I don’t know. Okay. I imagine it could be a problem inside the system cost us. Who else has. To the security footage. But you think somebody did this? Yes. That it was delivered? Yes. Yes. Absolutely. Okay. The man that left with Steve, did he say anything else?

Anything that Mike, give us a call about who he is.

A actually, yes. Now that you mention. Mr. Johnson did say something. What? What did he say? Please tell me. What did he say? Give me the list. Don’t piss me off. Okay, now. Okay, dude. Do it. Decide to give him the list. Get it. They’re getting itchy. Okay. She’s they real itchy. I think it’s in now. Hey, I think it’s in my purse.

Okay. No surprise. Okay. You go slow. Sorry. Slow. You know, since we’re here, I wanted to, um, I wanted to, uh, offer you my condolences. What the hell for you’re, um, your poor sister. She, uh, you know, she passed away a few months ago. Oh, you. Sister Mary Mara’s, your dad. Oh no, that’s a shame. Although she was a real pain in my ass.

I was sticking her nose in my business. No, not, I’m not Mar Mary Moira, your other sister, Susan. It was cute. What happened? That’s, um, it was, uh, very tragic accident. She was, Trapped in a car in it, and it, and it went over a cliff and it, uh, exploded. Oh no. Gosh, that’s just me, me, me now Sissy. She was a good girl.

You know, she didn’t deserve that. I always kind of thought maybe I wasn’t all bad because she was my sister and she was so good that maybe I had a little bit of good and a lot of bad, but just. A little bit of good. She didn’t serve that. It makes me sad. Makes me real sad. My fault says, sorry.

Hey, this Dr. So they just finished bandaging you? Yeah. Oh my. Are you okay? I’m fine. Doctor says it probably won’t even scar. I just pierced a muscle. Oh. Did they ask you how it happened? Well, he did ask if I was hopped up on biscuits, but I just told him that my friend isn’t the best dart player in the world.

He told me the police were on the way so I can make a report. Wait. You know that was an accident, right? I’m fucking dying. I’m joking. Ah, you are not funny. Sorry. It does make me wonder though, what if maybe unconsciously this isn’t some kind of retaliation on your part. Retaliation for that kiss last night, the non-consensual.

Oh yeah, that. Um, well, as annoyed as I was by it, I don’t think that it warranted a violent dart assault as long as you promise never to do it again. Well, I would cross my heart, but it’s a bit tender right now.

Even if you did have some pertinent information to share, why would you sell it off so cheaply for one measly visit with your daughter?

Maybe I didn’t make myself clear. My daughter means everything to me. And any chance I to see get it. I get it, I get it. But what your problem is is you think too small. Take a step back. Look at the big picture. The big picture. First and foremost, I went to a great deal of trouble to make sure that I was incarcerated here in states.

Now if you even suggest that I might have stretched the truth, then they are gonna ship me off to some black side in East Timbuktu, which will not exactly help you either.

So take some advice from your big sister, the two of us working together here. There is no limit to what we can accomplish. What are you talking about? You mean you want to objective numeral unal. Ever since I discovered that the rumors of a Sunday bar are greatly exaggerated here, I have no intention of staying here one minute longer than I absolutely have to,

and don’t think that I haven’t already started formulating a plan. So ask yourself, which sounds better? One measly visit with your. We’re spending the rest of your life with her outside.

Take some time to ponder on all of that before you make the biggest mistake of your life. The signs who’d believe you. Everybody knows Bo Brady is dead. How can a dead man kidnap his sister?

I have to say, being a criminal mastermind is exhausting. I need a cat now.

See you around sis.

Ah.

Shut off. Why didn’t you listen? You should have listened to. Reason come. I gonna listen if you shot off my ear. The hospital, but no, shut off. We’ll pat you off on the way to the police station. Okay. Mr. Johnson did say that the man claiming to be Director Donovan was not who he said he was. He did. He said that you just ignored it.

Hall Director Donovan was the man claiming to be the director of that. Said that Mr. Johnson was simply just trying to protect his own mo, that he was in fact the real con artist. Did Steve say anything else? Let me see. Yes, he was mumbling something as the man was escorting him out. Would I for the life of me?

I cannot remember what it was.

Okay. Well, thank you. Um, if you do happen to remember, or if anything else, Comes up, would you call me, please? Here’s my number.

I will do that.

Thank you.

Okay. Really Sure I understand this. You want me to be with hope? Yeah. Look, I am starting a whole new life without her and I’m a little sick of people trying to drag me back to that old life. Okay, so you’re just gonna let me go if what? I don’t say anything about finding you. Yeah. I mean, it’s best for both of us.

And if you think about it for hope too, she’s started a whole new life. She’s moved on with you and you guys, you, you have a good thing going. Why break her? Again, so she’s all yours. You get the girl, I get my new life without her win-win as long as you keep this little conversation of ours between us. So I’m, I’m supposed to pretend I never saw you.

Deceive hope and let her believe that her husband’s dead. Yeah, but the way I see it, you’re not really deceiving her. From my point of view. That husband is dead. So what do you say, commander? We got a deal.

Well now that my long lunch is almost turned into dinner, I should probably make an appearance to the paper. Hey, um, once I’m fully healed, any chance I can get a rematch, eyes wide open next time. Yeah. Wow. I’m surprised you would risk it. It’s a matter of honor at this point, isn. Oh, where? Fancy souvenir.

Oh my goodness. They kept the dart. Oh, we’re gonna need the full set if we’re gonna have that rematch, aren’t we? You know, I’m pretty impressed that you would be willing to come near me ever again while holding a dart. Well, you may be dangerous, Chloe. Scary, but uh, you do make up for it. And charm.

Alright, let’s have it ready. You actually came. I did to hear this supposedly explosive piece of information that you uncovered. Well, what is this big news that’s going to change everybody’s lives in Salem?

It turns out I was wrong. I’m sorry, what? Yeah, Megan was telling the truth. Thomas Pinks was the winner kidnapped Kayla

O. Excuse me, officer, you’re gonna want to book this man. He’s on the most wanted list. His name is Thomas Banks. Do you know him? No, but I’ve seen his picture. An uglier person. No, that’s not very nice.

Hey, any luck is a police station. Yeah, the back kind. Someone posing as Shane Donovan took Steve from the PD along with the pr. Any idea who, no. And the cop’s description was very vague and someone erased the security footage. How does that even happen? Well, I think whoever kidnapped, Steve erased it, obviously.

Uh, a real pro. And as Steve was being let out, he kept protesting, saying that this person wasn’t who he said he was. And the cop did nothing. He didn’t even question, he just slept This person, whoever he is, walk out with Steve and the prison.

What about you? Did you have any luck? Yeah, I, um, yeah, I started on the list. I, I went to Victor Kiki’s, uh, childhood Home. Oh,

Harris, did you find anything? So I’m supposed to pretend I never saw. Deceive hope and let her believe that her husband’s dead. Yeah, but the way I see it, you’re not really deceiving her. From my point of view, that husband is dead. So what do you say, commander? We got a deal.

So are we in agreement?

We are. Good man. You made the right decision.

I know. Uh, nothing at all. It was, uh, The place was deserted.

Update written by Joseph

Chloe sits outside the Brady Pub with a breakfast biscuit from the Bakery but Xander arrives and smacks it out of her hand, asking what the hell she is thinking and tells her that she can’t eat that.

Brady asks Kristen what is so damn important that she has to tell him. Kristen responds that it actually has to do with her long lost sister Megan Hathaway and her latest partner in crime.

Chad and Stephanie are confronted at the warehouse in Greece by Thomas Banks, who pulls a gun on them and questions what they are doing there. Stephanie responds that they came to find out what he did with Kayla.

Hope asks the cop at the Greece police department if he’s sure that Shane Donovan is not the man who took Steve in to custody. He confirms that it is not and that he had no way of knowing it wasn’t Shane since he showed him his badge and said he wanted to see the evidence from Dr. Rolf’s room. The cop adds that he knows it’s under investigation, so he gave the man the prisms which Hope questions. Hope asks if the man then just walked out of here which the cop confirms. Hope shows another photo and asks if this is the man who was posing as Shane Donovan.

Bo goes to leave the cabin right as Harris arrives at the door and they come face to face. Harris says this can’t be and questions if he is Hope’s late husband. Bo claims not to know what he’s talking about but Harris stops him and says he knows it’s him because he’s seen a lot of pictures. Harris identifies him as Bo Brady.

Chloe asks what the hell is wrong with Xander. Xander repeats that she can’t eat the breakfast biscuit and calls her crazy. Chloe argues that she just bought it this morning and was waiting all day to eat it while running errands and now he ruined it. Xander warns that unless she wants her next errand to be going to the hospital, she will leave those biscuits alone which Chloe questions. Xander realizes she hasn’t heard the news and informs her that someone dosed those biscuits with hallucinogens and are seeing pink elephants or worse. Chloe can’t believe she almost ate that. Xander says it’s good he came by when he did. Chloe asks if they know who laced the biscuits with drugs. Xander says they are still investigating as Chloe calls it a truly evil thing to do. Xander remarks that whoever did it is clearly dangerous. Chloe guesses she can get bagels from the coffee cart but Xander offers to treat her to lunch. Chloe jokes that she must be hallucinating. Xander says he’s a working man now so he can afford it but tells her not to let it get around.

Brady asks Kristen what about Megan Hathaway. Kristen informs him that Megan is now a fellow guest in Statesville and they just started talking to get to know each other better. Brady doesn’t care and asks why this is of utmost importance. Kristen explains that Megan gave her some details on how she avoided being locked up in an ISA prison. Brady responds that he already knows that Megan told the ISA that it was Thomas Banks who kidnapped her mother. Kristen states that she’s not so sure it was him.

Bo tells Harris that he’s heard about him too. Harris questions Bo knowing who he is. Bo reveals they have a mutual acquaintance in Megan Hathaway, who is extremely proud of how she orchestrated the descent of Harris. Bo recalls Megan saying Harris was a navy seal turned in to a simple hired gun and mentions Hope.

Hope tells the cop that she has reason to believe Thomas Banks is involved in all of this but the cop assures it was not him. Hope asks the cop to describe the man to her in detail then.

Xander and Chloe have lunch in the Brady Pub. Xander jokes that this is better than a crusty old breakfast biscuit. Chloe says the chowder is delicious and thanks him. Xander brings up that they are back where Chloe bested him at darts so he wants a rematch. Chloe talks about researching dart techniques and asks if he’s sure he’d like a rematch.

Thomas Banks tells Stephanie to be more specific because she knows a lot of mothers. Chad questions Thomas playing a game. Stephanie tells Thomas that the woman kidnapped is her mother, Kayla Johnson, and demands he tell them where he took her. Thomas responds that he’s sorry to disappoint but they got the wrong dude.

Brady questions Kristen saying she doesn’t think it was Thomas Banks that kidnapped Kayla. Kristen responds that based on what Megan was saying, she thinks it’s possible it could be someone else. Kristen flashes back to asking Megan if Bo Brady is alive. Kristen tells Brady that she will tell him when he brings Rachel to see her. Brady questions if that’s what this is all about and says he should’ve known. Kristen argues that he can’t blame her for using this information to her advantage. Brady argues that he’s never had a reason to trust her. Kristen insists that he’s really going to want to hear this and so will everyone in Salem because this news is so explosive that it will change a lot of peoples’ lives. Brady responds that he’ll think about it and hangs up.

The cop doesn’t know how helpful his description will be and says their sketch artist is working in another town. Hope asks him for anything and asks if the man had any distinctive features. He calls him a pretty average looking guy, middle-aged with brown hair, brown eyes, and a medium build. He asks if that sounds like anyone she knows.

Harris says if Bo heard about him from Megan, maybe she had something to do with bringing Bo back. Harris recalls someone else being in the lab in the cryogenic tube but he never knew it was, but what Megan wanted most was the three prisms and that’s why she programmed him. Harris adds that she never told him what the prisms were for but he knows they could be used for medical miracles and now it all makes sense. Harris states that Megan wanted to use the prisms to revive somebody she loved and that was Bo.

Chloe and Xander play darts. Chloe gets another bullseye and Xander can’t believe it. Chloe jokes with him and decides she’ll give him a handicap by throwing the next one with her eyes closed. Chloe does so, but ends up accidentally hitting Xander with the dart.

Chad informs Thomas Banks that his boss Megan already told them that he kidnapped Kayla. Thomas responds that no one is the boss of him and he’s an independent contractor. Thomas reveals that he followed them and calls it no coincidence that they are all here. Thomas says that he saw them in the hotel lobby and knew they would take him to where he needed to be. Thomas says to give him the list. Chad claims to not know anything about a list while Thomas asks who is playing games now. Thomas says he saw them talking about all the places where Kayla could be and demands the list now while holding them at gunpoint.

Hope tells the cop that she saw dozens of men that fit his description as he described half the population of Greece. The cop repeats that their sketch artist is working in another town but he can call him. Hope asks for the security camera footage so the cop pulls up the file.

Bo comments on the narrative Harris strung together. Harris explains that he actually heard it from Hope, who told him how obsessed Megan was with Bo. Bo responds that those feelings were not mutual and one of the many reasons that he left the island. Harris asks if Bo brought Kayla with him. Bo asks why he would do that. Harris points out that Kayla is his sister. Bo responds that the rumor he heard is that some character named Banks kidnapped Kayla. Harris questions Bo not seeming to care about his sister. Bo says that Kayla is tough and knows how to take care of herself. Harris questions Bo and Kayla both being on the island at the same time and coincidentally leaving the island around that time but not being together. Bo claims he didn’t even know Kayla was on the island or why Megan brought her there. Bo declares that he was just fed up with Megan’s games so he took off as fast as he could alone. Harris says he understands but he came all this way to find Kayla and if Bo has nothing to hide, he asks to take a look around but Bo stops him and pulls his gun on him.

Chloe panics about hitting Xander with the dart and asks if he’s okay. Chloe worries about pulling the dart out of his chest and questions what to do. Xander guesses they are heading to the hospital after all.

Megan returns to the visiting room and tells Kristen that she’s all settled in after having to evict her cellmate from the bottom bunk. Kristen jokes about Megan making friends. Megan asks her how Brady is. Kristen asks what she means. Megan reveals that she overheard Kristen’s chat just now. Kristen tries to explain while Megan says she was thinking that they were beginning a new sisterhood but as soon as she turned her back, Kristen is talking to Brady about her and Bo Brady being alive. Kristen apologizes for betraying some sisterly confidence but admits the only thing that matters to her is her daughter, so she will play any card she has to get a chance to see her. Megan says she understands but the problem is, Kristen is not holding any cards as she never said Bo Brady was alive.

Bo tells Harris that it was nice meeting him but they are done here and tells him to run along home. Harris asks if Bo is really going to shoot him if he doesn’t. Bo remarks that killing a military hero would be bad karma and tells Harris to just run along home. Harris threatens to go tell Hope what happened. Bo asks why he would do that. Harris argues that Bo knows damn well that Hope is in love with him and now she could know he’s alive. Bo questions this being a selfless act since telling Hope that he’s alive will end their budding romance. Bo asks if Harris is ready to lose Hope.

Hope and the cop find that the security footage is all gone and been erased. Hope questions who else had access to the security footage and thinks someone did it deliberately. Hope asks more about the man who left with Steve in hopes of finding a clue of who he is. The cop recalls that Steve did say something. Hope asks him to please tell her what he said.

Thomas Banks demands the list and warns them not to piss him off. Chad tells Stephanie to do what he says. Stephanie says the list is in her purse. Chad tells Thomas that he wanted to offer his condolences on his sister passing away a few months ago. Thomas thinks he means Sister Mary Moira but Chad clarifies that he means his other sister Susan. Thomas questions what happened. Chad calls it a very tragic car accident that exploded over a cliff. Thomas calls that mean and says Susan was a good girl who didn’t deserve that. Thomas says he always thought he wasn’t all bad because Susan was his sister. Thomas admits that makes him sad and starts to get emotional so Chad offers a napkin but then throws it in his face and grabs him. They struggle over the gun until it goes off.

Chloe checks on Xander in the hospital after the doctor finishes bandaging him up. Xander tells her that he’s fine and just pierced a muscle. Xander jokes about her not being the best dart player. Xander wonders if this is some kind of retaliation for when he kissed her last night. Chloe admits she was annoyed by that but doesn’t think it called for a violent retaliation as long as he promises to never do it again.

Megan questions why Kristen would sell any information she did have so cheaply for one visit with her daughter. Kristen repeats that her daughter means everything to her. Megan gets it but argues that Kristen thinks too small. Megan advises Kristen to look at the big picture. Megan talks about going through a great deal of trouble to make sure she was incarcerated here. Megan warns that if Kristen even suggests that she stretched the truth, they will ship her to some black site which won’t help her either. Megan encourages that there’s no limit to what they can accomplish here if they work together. Megan tells Kristen that she has no intention of staying here one minute longer than she has to and she’s already started formulating a plan. Megan asks Kristen what sounds better; one measly visit with her daughter or spending the rest of her life with her daughter outside? Megan tells Kristen to ponder over that before making the biggest mistake of her life. Megan asks who would believe Kristen anyway when everybody knows Bo Brady is dead, so she asks how could a dead man kidnap his sister. Megan remarks that being a criminal mastermind is exhausting so she needs a nap. Megan tells Kristen that she will see her around and heads back to her cell.

Thomas screams in pain as he is shot in the ear and Chad takes the gun, shouting that he should’ve listened to reason. Chad tells Thomas that they will patch him up on the way to the police station.

The cop reveals to Hope that Steve said the man claiming to be Shane Donovan was not who he said he was. Hope questions him ignoring that. The cop explains that the man had said Steve was the actual con artist. Hope asks if Steve said anything else. The cop remembers Steve mumbling something as he was dragged out but he can’t remember what it was. Hope thanks him and says to call her if he remembers anything else. Hope leaves her number and then exits the station.

Harris tells Bo that he’s not sure he understands this, questioning Bo wanting him to be with Hope. Bo explains that he’s starting a whole new life without Hope and he’s sick of people trying to drag him back to that whole life. Harris asks if he’s just going to let him go if he doesn’t say anything about finding him. Bo insists that it’s best for both of them and for Hope too since she started a whole new life and moved on with Harris. Bo says they have a good thing going so he asks why break her heart again. Bo tells Harris that Hope is all his, so Harris gets the girl and Bo gets his new life as long as he keeps this conversation between them. Harris questions pretending he never saw him, deceiving Hope, and letting her believe that her husband is dead. Bo argues that he’s not really deceiving her since from his point of view, that husband is dead. Bo asks Harris if they have a deal.

Xander tells Chloe that he should probably make an appearance at the paper and jokes about wanting another rematch when he’s healed. Chloe is impressed that he’d be willing to come near her ever again with a dart. Xander jokes that she may be dangerous and scary, but she makes up for it in charm.

Brady goes to the prison which surprises Kristen. Brady says he came to see this supposedly explosive piece of information that she uncovered. Brady asks what the big news is that’s going to change everybody’s lives in Salem. Kristen claims that it turns out she was wrong and that Megan was telling the truth that Thomas Banks was the one who kidnapped Kayla. Megan listens from outside the room and smiles.

Chad and Stephanie bring Thomas Banks to the police department in Greece. Chad tells the cop that he’s going to want to book him as he’s on the most wanted list. The cop recognizes Thomas from seeing his picture earlier and calls him even uglier in person which Thomas calls not nice.

Harris returns to his room where Hope shows up at his door. Harris asks if she had any luck at the police station. Hope says only the bad kind as someone posed as Shane Donovan and took Steve and the prisms. Harris asks if there’s any idea who. Hope says no as the description was vague and someone erased the security footage. Harris questions how that even happens. Hope thinks whoever kidnapped Steve erased it and was a real pro. Hope complains about the cop not even questioning the man and just letting him walk out with Steve and the prisms. Hope asks if Harris had any luck. Harris responds that he started on the list and went to Victor Kiriakis’ childhood home. Hope asks if he found anything. Harris thinks back to his conversation with Bo where they agreed on the deal to not tell Hope about him. Harris then lies to Hope and tells her that he found nothing at all and the place was deserted.

Update written by Joseph

Marlena returns to her office at the hospital. She sits at her desk and declares she’s back in business. Alex then arrives and asks if she has a minute. Marlena calls it a nice surprise and invites him in.

Kristen calls Brady from prison, but he does not accept the call. Kristen screams in frustration until she is greeted by new prisoner, her half sister, Megan Hathaway.

Hope goes to see Harris and tells him that no one saw Steve come in, so now she’s starting to worry that something has happened to him.

Steve pounds on the door of the wine cellar while screaming for Bo to open the door. Kayla tells Steve that Bo won’t suddenly come to his senses and let them out. Steve declares that they will have to find themselves out of here.

Chad and Stephanie arrive in Greece. Stephanie calls Steve and leaves a message, saying she’s starting to worry because she hasn’t heard from him so she hopes to hear from him soon. Stephanie tells Chad that it’s been two days and worries about something happening to her father too. Chad tells her that she can’t think that way and they are here now, so they will find him.

Bo has Steve’s phone and listens to Stephanie’s message on his voicemail.

John comes home with flowers for Marlena. Brady informs John that Marlena isn’t home. John knows that Marlena went back to work but he thinks it’s a little bit soon. Brady points out that Marlena has been seeing patients on the couch ever since she returned, so he thinks she’s ready which John agrees with. Brady brings up Marlena hypnotizing Stephanie and Stephanie remembering Kayla saying something about Victor. Brady questions what that is all about. John explains that Victor is out of town but Chad and Stephanie talked to him on the phone and he said he knew nothing about Kayla’s kidnapping. John adds that Maggie gave a list of Victor’s properties in Greece so Chad and Stephanie flew there to check them out. Brady asks if John thinks Victor is telling the truth. John says he’d like to think so, but he’s been wrong about him before. Brady hopes Chad and Stephanie are not walking in to some kind of trap. John says he’d feel a lot better if Steve hadn’t gone off the grid but they have no idea where he is. John would love to be on the search but he can’t bring himself to be away from Marlena so soon after getting her back.

Marlena tells Alex that they haven’t formally met. Alex tells her it’s great having her back as he knows how much she means to so many people. Marlena feels lucky to be back with the people she loves. Alex hopes it’s not a bad time. Marlena says she’s not seeing patients today and was just catching up on paper work but she invites him to have a seat and asks what she can do for him. Alex brings up Stephanie being in Greece, looking for her mom who is alive. Alex wondered if Marlena had any news about her since she is so close to the situation. Marlena says she hasn’t heard anything new. Marlena asks if Alex knew Kayla. Alex says not really, but he hopes to God they find her because that could mean his redemption.

Hope complains about calling and texting but then she gets a text from Steve’s phone, that says sorry for not being in touch and that Stephanie arrived in Greece, so he’s trying to calm her down. Harris says that’s one problem solved while Hope is relieved that Steve is okay.

Bo turns off Steve’s phone after sending the text.

Kristen and Megan meet one another which each calling the other infamous. Megan remarks that despite different last names, they are undeniably family. Kristen comments on Megan being dead ten years before she ever came to Salem. Megan credits a cryogenic chamber. Kristen mentions hearing that she was apprehended on an island off Greece. Megan comments that news travels fast. Kristen questions what she’s doing in Salem. Megan explains that she cut a deal with the ISA so that she could be incarcerated here. Kristen questions why the ISA would even consider giving her a deal after everything she has done. Megan responds that they were desperate to find Kayla and she told the feds that her former associate, Thomas Banks, was the one who took her. Kristen calls Thomas a disgusting little creep and brings up Thomas masquerading as her before.

Chad and Stephanie talk about going through Victor’s properties and hopefully find Kayla. They take their bags to their hotel room as someone watches them.

Alex explains to Marlena that he had no idea that Kayla was dying when he turned Stephanie’s phone off and he just wanted quality time with his girl, but he knows that it was his fault that she didn’t have the opportunity to say goodbye to her mother and she had every right to be, but that’s why they broke up and now she’s with Chad. Alex says when he heard about Kayla being alive, he realized that maybe he didn’t rob Stephanie of her last moments with her mother after all. Alex knows they still have to find her or else he will live with this guilty conscience forever.

Hope sends a text back to Steve’s phone that they will continue to look for Thomas today and keep him updated. Hope says it’s too bad they didn’t accomplish much last night but Harris points out that they did have fun, especially with their dance. Harris and Hope kiss until there’s a knock at the door. Harris goes to get dressed while Hope answers the door to see Chad and Stephanie.

Kristen questions Megan as to why Thomas Banks would kidnap Kayla. Kristen then asks if she ordered it. Megan asks why she would do that when Kayla is of no use to her now. Kristen asks what Megan was planning to do with her with Dr. Rolf. Megan explains that Kayla, Marlena, and Kate were going to be Dr. Rolf’s human guinea pigs and it would’ve been a monumental scientific breakthrough for all of humanity. Kristen guesses she was mostly interested in what it would do for her. Kristen asks why Kate had to bite the bullet and not Marlena. Megan says it was not her choice and that one of her employees went a bit rogue. Kristen says it had to have been Thomas since they didn’t find anyone else on the island but Dr. Rolf. Megan questions where she gets all this information. Kristen responds that she’s aware of everything that concerns her family. Kristen says that Megan threw Thomas under the bus and that’s a major breach of DiMera loyalty. Megan explains that she had to give the ISA a name and they knew that Thomas had been one of her hired guns. Kristen questions why she lied and for whom. Kristen asks if Thomas didn’t take Kayla, who did?

Bo returns to the wine cellar, mentioning that his gun is just an insurance policy. Kayla questions where he was. Bo claims he was fishing and he made them some stew. Kayla complains about him holding them hostage. Bo says they had to eat. Kayla asks why Steve is here. Bo says he got in his way. Steve brings up Hope and asks why he doesn’t want to see her. Bo recalls that Hope hated and misunderstood why he grew to love and admire his father, so there’s no reason to have Hope in his life. Steve calls that a lie and says Hope understands him too well, so he’s afraid that she will break through to him which scares the hell out of him. Bo decides that’s enough talk. Bo argues that Kayla said she would get information off the prisms. Kayla clarifies that she thought that. Bo warns that the clock is ticking. Bo reveals that Stephanie has found her way to Greece which shocks Steve. Bo says it’s only a matter of time before Stephanie or Hope find out that they are missing. Bo warns about either of them getting in his way. Steve then grabs Bo and they struggle over his gun while Kayla tries to intervene.

Brady asks how John could say it’s irrational as he understands John wants Marlena by his side every second because she’s the love of his life. Brady says everyone is happy for John and adds that he’s envious of him. Brady mentions his relationship with Chloe. John knows the pain of when things go wrong and that Marlena told him it’s rough right now with Chloe and Rachel. Brady says that what makes him so infuriated is that Kristen manipulated the whole situation to her advantage and succeeded at making Rachel hate Chloe, so he has no clue how to fix it.

Megan says she never denied that Thomas took Kayla. Kristen points out that she never confirmed it either and asks why she doesn’t just tell her the truth. Megan questions why she would, pointing out that she doesn’t know her. Kristen brings up sisterly bonding. Megan talks about never having a sister. Kristen says the same but notes that she has so many brothers. Megan says she doesn’t know them either. Kristen calls it obvious that Megan hasn’t talked to anyone in decades other than misfits, hostages, and dead people. Kristen encourages Megan to confide in someone normal, that she’s related to. Kristen jokes that they can be sisters in crime. Megan admits that they have one thing in common; a desire to get out of prison. Kristen suggests she scratch her back and Megan scratch hers.

Marlena says that Alex’s urgency to find news about Kayla seems to be about more than his guilty conscience. Alex says of course he wants Kayla to be alive, mentioning that she’s a respected doctor and so many people love her, just like Marlena. Marlena questions if he came all the way over just to say what a wonderful doctor she and Kayla are. Alex doesn’t know what she’s getting at. Marlena feels that Stephanie broke up with him because she felt that he had cost her the last moment she would have had with her mother and now that her mother is alive, she wonders if Alex is thinking he has a second chance with Stephanie.

Hope invites Chad and Stephanie in, asking where Steve is. Stephanie responds that they don’t know. Chad says they went to his room and he wasn’t there. Hope introduces Chad and Stephanie to Harris Michaels. Stephanie responds that she knows who Harris is and brings up how he delivered pizzas to them in Seattle when one of them blew up in her face. Harris apologizes and says he can’t tell her how much he regrets his actions during that time. Stephanie mentions ending up in the hospital but recovering quickly. Harris hopes she can accept his apology. Stephanie understands that he wasn’t himself and that Steve went through something similar awhile back, so she accepts his apology, especially because he’s helping look for her mom. Harris is grateful for her understanding. Stephanie states that now she’s worried about her dad. Hope mentions that Steve just texted them that he was with her. Stephanie argues that he isn’t and they haven’t heard from him since before they left Salem. Stephanie worries that Steve is in trouble.

Bo fights off Steve and warns him not to pull that crap again. Steve dares Bo to pull the trigger and argues that he’s had plenty of chances to kill him but hasn’t done it yet. Bo warns that it can be arranged. Steve yells at Bo to pull the trigger, so he does.

Alex thanks Marlena and wants to pay her for a session. Marlena says no but Alex says she deserves to be compensated for helping him. Marlena says it just feels good to be working. Marlena then points out that Alex didn’t answer her question. Alex guesses he hasn’t thought much about getting back with Stephanie, maybe because he may seem confident, Stephanie was the only woman that he truly loved and being rejected by her was really painful. Alex guesses maybe he’s just afraid of getting hurt again. Marlena understands he’s feeling vulnerable because he has very deep feelings for Stephanie which he admits. Alex guesses this discussion is just bringing his subconscious thoughts to the surface. Marlena says that’s how therapy works. Alex realizes that part of him is hoping that if they do find Kayla, maybe Stephanie will be able to get past what happened and they could be together again.

Hope tries calling Steve but it goes straight to voicemail. Hope worries that it’s possible that someone else has Steve’s phone. Stephanie worries that he’s not okay. Chad asks when they last saw him. Harris says they split up yesterday and Steve went to the police station to look at Dr. Rolf’s belongings for any clues on where Kayla is. Hope notes that they haven’t seen him since then. Harris decides they should go to the police station as right now, it’s the only lead they have. Chad stops him and says it’s not the only lead.

Bo pulled the trigger and shot a bottle of wine. Bo blames Steve for making him do that and wasting a bottle but Kayla argues that this is on Bo because he’s trying to be someone that he’s not. Bo responds that he’s not Shawn’s son who never fit in and remarks that he was never a Brady. Kayla argues that he was and still is. Steve adds that if Bo thinks it’s better to be a Kiriakis, he’s a fool. Bo asks if Steve keeps pushing him because he doesn’t think he’s capable of killing. Bo then brings up that he put a bullet in Kate. Kayla shouts that Bo doesn’t need to do any of this and what he’s thinking and feeling is because of what Megan did to him. Steve adds that Megan has been captured and is in prison as they speak. Steve questions if Bo is going to let Megan control him from an ocean away.

Megan says if they are sharing secrets, she wants Kristen to start. Kristen decides that if Megan doesn’t want to tell her who has Kayla, she will figure it out on her own. Kristen questions Megan just giving up Thomas Banks and argues that whoever took Kayla is someone she is protecting and someone she cares about. Kristen states that as she knows, Megan never cared about anyone in her entire life other than maybe Stefano and Bo but they are both dead. Megan remarks on Bo dying of a brain tumor, just like she was dead before they dumped her in a hot tub and fried to her a crisp, yet here she sits before her. Kristen asks if Megan is saying that Bo Brady is alive.

Chad shows Harris the list of Victor’s properties in Greece. Stephanie points out that they don’t know if Kayla is actually in any of those properties while Chad encourages her to stay positive as they just have to start looking. Harris suggests they split up. Hope agrees and decides she will go to the police station since she’s been working with the ISA, so they will talk to her. Hope tells Stephanie and Chad to stick together. Chad splits the list of properties and hands one to Harris as he and Stephanie exit together. Harris advises Hope to be careful too. Hope responds that she’s going to the police station, the safest place in town, but Harris points out that Steve possibly disappeared from there. Hope says that’s what she is going to find out. Hope thanks Harris for helping her family. Harris responds that she gave him his life back, so he just hopes that he can return the favor as they then exit.

Alex tells Marlena that he always mocked the whole getting in touch with your feelings thing, but admits it’s really helping which Marlena is glad to hear. Alex asks if she thinks he needs therapy. Marlena responds that therapy is what she does, so she thinks everybody can be helped in therapy. Alex says he’s always thought he doesn’t need it as talking about his feelings and emotions is not really his vibe. Marlena asks if he’s changed his mind. Alex admits this did help a lot right now, but it didn’t change his mind as he doesn’t think he wants to continue. Alex declares that he’s fine. Marlena says if he does change his mind again, he can call her and hands him her card. Alex thanks her and says he appreciates that. Alex adds that it was great meeting the famous Dr. Evans as he then exits her office.

Brady tells John that Marlena said she would keep working with Rachel as far as talking things through. Brady adds that Marlena is really the only mother figure that Rachel has right now. John says they really adore her and asks if he’s taken Rachel to see Kristen lately. Brady says no and that Rachel’s only time seeing her lately was her solo trip to the prison. Brady admits that Kristen’s been hounding him but he doesn’t want Kristen poisoning Rachel’s mind any further. Brady mentions that he just declined Kristen’s call a little while ago. John questions him thinking it’s okay to freeze her out. John warns that if Rachel thinks he’s keeping her from seeing her mother, she’s going to dig in even more. John says as much as they wish it wasn’t true, in this case, there’s a strong bond between mother and daughter that he’s not sure can be broken.

Megan tells Kristen that they may be sisters but it does take time to trust someone. Kristen questions what she is getting at. Megan responds that she’s just not quite ready to play true confessions. Megan decides it’s time to get settled in to her new home because it looks like she’s going to be here for awhile, theoretically at least. Megan then leaves the visiting area.

Bo declares that no one controls him and that Megan just opened him up to who he really is. Kayla argues that this is not him. Bo asks what he has to show for the pansy that she says he was. Steve and Kayla bring up Bo’s children and grandchildren. Steve reveals that Ciara is pregnant so Bo has another grandchild on the way. Kayla calls that wonderful news and a blessing. Bo says that makes what he’s doing that much more important because he’s going to build an empire like his father. Steve argues that his kids want him, not some Kiriakis wanna be. Kayla repeats that what the Bradys lacked in wealth, they made up for with how much they loved each other. Kayla tells Bo that is more valuable than numbers in a bank. Bo complains that they are wasting his time as this is happening whether they like it or not. Bo tells Kayla to get back to work. Kayla argues that she needs equipment and supplies. Bo accuses her of stalling. Kayla insists that she needs a lab. Bo reluctantly agrees to get what she needs and exits the cellar.

Stephanie warns Chad that this could be dangerous. Chad says they knew that when they came. Stephanie doesn’t think she should be dragging him in to this when he has kids to worry about. Chad assures that nothing is stopping him and he’s not letting her do this alone. Chad declares they will be fine as they have each other. They exit the hotel as someone remains watching them.

John goes to Marlena’s office and brings her flowers. John asks how her first day back is. Marlena responds that it’s been pretty busy. Marlena then gets a call from Alex, who decides he would like to make an appointment.

Brady gets another call from prison and this time he reluctantly accepts. Brady answers and asks what Kristen wants. Kristen says she wants to relay something to him of the utmost importance.

Steve asks Kayla if she’s okay. Kayla says she’s not and complains that Bo could have shot Steve, so she questions why he baited him like that. Steve says he was proving a point. Steve says that Bo didn’t shoot him and won’t. Kayla worries that he could have and now Stephanie is here. Steve argues that if Bo couldn’t hurt him, he won’t hurt his own niece, and declares that Bo is not as dangerous as he pretends to be. Steve tells Kayla that Hope and Harris have to be wondering where he is now, so Hope is going to follow the bread crumbs and they are going to find them.

Chad and Stephanie go to a warehouse which Chad notes is huge with a lot of place for someone to be sulking around. They are then startled by a noise behind them.

Hope goes to the Greek police station and introduces herself as from the ISA. Hope informs the cop that she’s looking for a colleague who was there yesterday named Steve Johnson. The cop says it doesn’t sound familiar and asks for a description. Hope then shows him a photo of Steve which the cop recognizes and tells her that the Director of the ISA said he was an impostor and took him in to custody. Hope questions that and shows him a picture of Shane Donovan but the cop says that’s not him. Hope says that’s Shane, so she questions who is the man who took Steve in to custody.

Bo goes to leave the cabin right as Harris arrives at the door and they come face to face.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Wow.

I guess I’m back in business.

Good morning.

Hey, Dr. Evan. You got a minute? What a nice surprise. Sure. Come on in.

No, I will not accept the call.

What? He declined my call.

Damn him. Take it easy, sister. Oh ho. Take it as my own damn business. And I am not your sister. Actually. You are.

Hi. Oh, uh, yeah. I was just going to actually hop, hop in the shower. Come in, come here. Yeah. Did you, uh, did you find Steve? No. No. I just, uh, I just went to his room and I checked with the front desk and no one saw him come in last night. But now I’m starting to worry that something’s happened to him.

Whoa. Oh, Brady open this door. I don’t know why you’re wasting your breath. You think he’s suddenly gonna come to his senses and let us out? No. So we’re gonna have to find a way to get ourselves out of.

Hey, Papa Chad and I just got to Athens and I haven’t heard from you, so I’m starting to worry. I hope everything’s okay, and then I’ll hear from you soon. Love you voicemail. It’s been like two days. It’s bad enough. My mom is missing. What if something’s happened to my father too? Stop. Listen, you can’t, you can’t think that way.

We’re here now. Okay. We’ll find him.

And I haven’t heard from you, so I’m starting to worry. I hope everything’s okay, and then I’ll hear from you soon. Love you.

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

Hey kid. Hey dad. Oh, thanks. She’s this are from Arlene, right? I knocked off work early here and stopped by the florist and thought I’d bring a little something home. Yeah, I don’t, I don’t think she’s here. I didn’t see her car, the garage when I came in. Oh, I know. She decided to go back to work today. I’m not really down with that.

I think it’s a little bit too soon. You. That she’s been, uh, seeing patients in this living room on that couch about 24 hours after returning to the land of the living. So I say she’s okay and she’s ready.

You got a good point there. Yeah. Yeah. I, uh, I heard that she hypnotized Stephanie yesterday and that Stephanie recalled Kayla saying something about my grandfather. What, what is that all about? Apparently Vic is out of town, but Chad and Stephanie talked to him on the phone and of course Vic, I know nothing about Kayla’s kidnapping.

Now for Maggie’s part, she gave Chad and Stephanie a list of Vic’s properties in Greece and they flew over there right now to check ’em out. Do you think my granddad’s telling the truth? Well, I’d like to believe so, but God knows I’ve been wrong about him before. I just hope they’re not walking into some kind of trap.

Yeah. Here you’re, I’d feel a hell of a lot better about this if Steve hadn’t gone off to quit. I got no clue where he is. Huh? Nothing. Damn it, kid. I would love to be on that search, but you know, the idea of just leaving Marna here. I know, I know that she’s physically fine. Maybe I’m being irrational here, but I just, I can’t bear to be away from her so soon after.

Got her back.

It’s Alex, Kiki. Right? I don’t think we’ve actually formed Met. We haven’t. But let me just say it is great news having you back. I do know how much you mean to clearly so many people. I thank you. I feel so lucky to be home with the people that I love most. Right? I hope this isn’t a bad. Oh, no. No, not really.

Uh, I, I’m, I’m not seeing patients today. I was just going to catch up on some paperwork. Oh, but why don’t you have a seat? I, come on, sit down. Thank you.

What can I do for you? Um, well, as you know, Stephanie’s in Greece right now. She’s looking for her mom who is alive. Yes, I know. It’s another miracle, right? Yes, it is. So I was just, I was wondering if maybe you, uh, had any news about her things that you were so close to the situation yourself? Um, no, I haven’t heard anything new.

I’m sorry. Okay. Did you, did you know. No. No, not, not really. No. Um, but I hope to God they find her. Yes, we all do. Yeah. Me more than most. See for me, that could mean mighty redemption. I have called, I have text. Oh, wait a second, finally. Okay. All right. All right. All right. He’s texting us back. Let’s see what he has to say.

Sorry, I haven’t been in touch. Uh, Stephanie arrived. She’s upset about her mom. I’m trying to calm her down. Let me know if you track down banks. Okay. Well, there, there we go. Yeah. It’s one problem solved. Yeah. Yeah. Thank God Steve’s.

I’ll let you two get reacquainted or just acquainted, so. You are the infamous Megan Hathaway and you are the infamous Kristin Damira. Different last names perhaps, but we are undeniably family. Yeah. Well, let’s not start singing Sister Sledged just yet, but I do have to say you went pretty well preserved for someone who was already.

10 years before I even stepped foot in, sang that cryogenic chamber fluid. It’s wonderful for the skin, uh, as is, uh, Mediterranean heat. Yeah, I heard that, uh, you were apprehended on an island off Greece. We’re a host of international crimes. Oh, news travels. Fires. Mm-hmm. So what are you doing here in Salem?

I cut a deal with the, is. So that I’d be incarcerated here. And why would the ISA even consider giving you a deal with everything you’ve done? They were desperate to find Kayla Johnson. And I told the feds that a former associated mine, Thomas Banks, was the one absconded with her. Thomas, Ugh. That disgusting little creep.

I mean he masqueraded as me in Monte Carla. I can’t even believe some SAP actually believed that that hideous little creature was yours. Truly,

I God, everyone’s at the desk. Good. We’re gonna need their help to go through this list of Victor’s properties and hopefully find my.

So you see, I, I had no idea Stephanie’s mom was dying when I turned her phone off. I just wanted some quality time with my. Yeah, I understand and thank you, and still I know that it was my fault that she didn’t have the opportunity to say goodbye to her mother. She was so upset. Not that she didn’t have every right to be, she did, but I’m just explaining to you why we broke up and now she’s with Chad.

Yeah. Anyway, when I heard this news about Kayla being alive, I realized that maybe I didn’t rob Stephanie of her last moments with her mother after all, and I know they still have to find her. It’s either that or I live with this guilty conscience forever.

We didn’t get anywhere at the Dive Verna last night, but we will continue looking for banks today. We’ll keep you updated. You know, it’s really too bad we didn’t have much success last night at the. I wouldn’t say that. I mean, we didn’t find Thomas Banks, but we had some fun, especially during our dance.

Yes.

Oh, it’s room service. Throw some clothes on. Could you? Oh, uh, yeah, yeah, I got it.

So why would Thomas Banks kidnap Taylor Johnson unless. Did you order it? Why would I do that? Kayla is of no use to me now. Right. Oh. And just what we planning to do with her back at the ranch with Dr. Ralph, she, Marlene and Kate were going to be Ralph’s human Guinea pigs. It was going to be a monumental scientific breakthrough for all of humanity.

Hmm. Let me just take a wild guess here. You were mostly interested in what it could do for you. Am I right? No comment. Fine. All right. Then answer this. If someone was going to bite it, why couldn’t it bend? Marlena Yk. If it had been my choice. Oh, it wasn’t? No it wasn’t. One of the employees went a bit rogue Thomas.

It had to have been. I mean, they didn’t find anyone else on that island except for Rolf. Right. Tell me where are you getting your information from? It sounds like you’ve downloaded the ISA intelligence report. I am aware of everything that concerns my family. Listen, change the subject you just threw Poor Thomas under the bus and that is a.

Nature major breach of the Damer Code of ethics for maintaining loyal employees. Look, I had to give the ISA a, and they knew that Thomas had been one of my hired guns, so, so you lied. Why? Hmm. I’m for whom? If Thomas didn’t take Kayla, then who did? Huh?

Sis hatch. Oh, don’t mind the gun. It’s just an insurance. Where were you, Bo? Fishing. Fishing. Yeah. You’re kidding. Right? Go. I made you some stew with fresh sea bass. Beats the anchovy rations we had when we were in the merchant marina. You are holding us hostage here and you are out fishing. Yeah, indeed. I asked for your help.

You didn’t give it willingly, so, so what about Steve? Why is he here? Got in my way. What about hope? Why don’t you wanna see her? Oh my God. Okay. As I recall, she hated and really kind of misunderstood why I grew to love and admire my father. So since that’s the direction my life is, No reason to have her in it.

No. That may be the story you tell yourself, but it’s a lie. It’s not that hope misunderstands you, it’s that she understands you too well, and you don’t like that you’re afraid she’s gonna break through to you and that scares the hell outta you, doesn’t it?

Now enough talking more work. I don’t see much of that going on down here. I wonder why you wanted the prism. I went and got it for you. You told me that you’d get the information off of it. I told you. That’s what I thought. Okay. You don’t seem to understand. The clock is ticking. Your daughter has found her way to Greece.

What? What? Stephanie’s here and it’s just a matter of time before she or hope. Find out that you are missing. I can’t keep putting them off. And if either one of them gets in my way,

come on. How can you say it’s ir? Of course you want Marlena, buy your side every second because she’s the love of your life. And it’s like, you just, it’s like you just got her back, you got a second chance with her. And then dad, everyone’s happy for you. I’m happy for you. Hell, I’m, I’m envious of you. Ah, come on, come on, come on.

No. Hey, it’s not like I’m comparing my relationship with Chloe, yours and Marlene’s. It’s just that, hey, you mean even though your love for Chloe hasn’t gone on for decades? Still doesn’t use the pain when things go wrong, and yeah, doc told me that it’s. It’s a rough go right now with, uh, with, with Chloe and Rachel.

Rough. Yeah. Rough, rough. R That doesn’t even describe it. What makes me so infuriating? It’s all because Kristen manipulated the whole scenario to her advantage. She set out to make sure that Rachel hated Chloe, and she did it. She succeeded in it and that I don’t have a clue how to fix it. Not a clue. I never deny that Thomas was the one who took Kayla and you never confirmed it.

Why don’t you just tell me the truth? Why would I, why would I tell you anything? I don’t know. You having heard of sisterly bonding, my sister Renee died before I knew her, so I’ve never actually had a sister. Mommy neither. I mean, there was Lexi, but I barely knew her. On the other hand, so many male siblings, aka brothers, I don’t know them either.

No, I do want to come on. It’s obvious that you haven’t talked to anyone in decades. I mean, except for misfits, hostages and dead people. Yeah, I Where you can find it. Someone normal, someone you’re related to. Come on. I mean, not only. Can we be sisters, but we can be sisters in crime? Well, there’s definitely at least one thing that we have in common, a desire to get out of this place.

Right? So why don’t I scratch your back? You scratch my, what do you say sis?

So this urgency to find out about Kayla, it seems to be about more than just assuaging your guilty conscience. Well, I mean, of course I want Stephanie’s mother to be alive. She’s an amazing person, a well-respected doctor. So many people love her just like you. So you came all the way over here. Say what a wonderful doctor Kayla is and what a wonderful doctor I am.

I don’t know what you’re getting at. It seems to me that Stephanie broke up with you because she felt you had cost her the last moment she would’ve had with her mother, and now that now that her mother’s alive. I wonder if you’re thinking perhaps. You have a second chance with her?

Uh, Stephanie Chad, please come in. Uh, Seth. Where’s your dad? We don’t know. Yeah, we went to his room. It wasn’t there. Oh. Uh, Harris, this is my niece Stephanie. This is Chad Dara. This is Harris Michaels. He’s helping us look for. Yeah, I know who this man is. He was back in Seattle that he delivered pizzas to me and my family.

One of them literally blew up in my face. Stephanie, I’m, I’m, I’m sorry. I really am. I can’t tell you how much I regret my actions during that time. I assume you weren’t seriously injured. I ended up in the hospital, but I recovered pretty quickly. Thank God for that. I just hope you couldn’t accept my apology.

Well, I do understand that you weren’t yourself. My dad went through something very similar a while back, so yes, I do accept your apology, especially because you’re helping me look for my mom. I’m grateful for your understanding. I’m grateful for everyone’s efforts in trying to find my mom, but now I’m worried about my dad too.

Why? He just texted us, said that he was with you. What? But he isn’t, obviously, and we haven’t heard from him since before we left Salem. My God, my dad’s in trouble listening.

Are you okay? Fine. Jesus. Don’t pull that crap again. What? Huh? Come on buddy. Pull that trigger. No, stop it. I know. He just had plenty of chances to kill me and he hasn’t done it yet. That can be arranged. Oh, I don’t think you have it in yet. Stop it. Don’t prove me wrong. Come on, stop it. No, I’m waiting. Pull the trigger.

Do it.

Dr. Evans, this was so good of you. I’m gonna pay you for a session. Absolutely not. Oh, yes, yes, yes. You just got back in here. You are trying to help me. You deserve to be compensated. No, I’ve been away for a while and right now it feels really good. It’d be working. Are you sure? I’m sure. But

you could answer my question.

Okay. Um, well, I guess I haven’t thought that much about getting back with Stephanie. Um, I guess maybe because, uh, As confident as I may seem, you know, being a halfway attractive guy, um, Stephanie was the only woman I truly loved and, uh, being rejected by her really painful.

So I guess maybe I’m, uh, just afraid getting. Again,

you’re feeling vulnerable because you have very deep feelings for her. I do. I guess all this, um, discussion is just bringing all these, um, subconscious thoughts to the. That’s how therapy works. Right? Right. I am realizing as I sit here with you, um, part of me is hoping that if they do find her mom, maybe Stephanie will be able to get past what happened.

She and I could be together again, straight to voice. Damnit. Hannah, what are you thinking? That it’s possible someone else has your dad’s phone because they’ve taken him and they want us to think that he’s okay, which means that he’s not. It’s, it’s, it’s, it’s Okay. Wh where and when did you last see him?

Well, we, we split up yesterday. Yeah. Helping, I follow the lead on Thomas Banks. That was the dead end. Steve went to the local police station to take a look at Wolf’s personal effects to see if that could give us a clue on your mother’s whereabouts. Did it? Well, we don’t know. We haven’t seen him since then.

Let’s go to the PD for now. That’s the only lead we’ve got. No, it’s not the only lead.

What the hell is the matter with you Bo? Next time it’s your brains. Oh man. It made me go on ways to perfectly good red. No, he didn’t do anything. This is all you Bo, because you’re trying to be somebody that you are not. Who I’m not is Sean Brady’s son. The one who never fit in was never a Brady. No, that is not true.

Of course, you were. You still are. And if you’re not proud of that, if you think it’s better to be a curus, corrupt and greedy, selling your soul and your heart for money and power, and you’re a damn fool and a co. You don’t think I’m capable of killing? That’s why you keep pushing me. I put a bullet in Kate Roberts.

Oh, you need to listen to me. You don’t need to do any of this. What you’re thinking, what you’re feeling right now is because of what Megan Hathaway did to you. For your information, Megan Hathaway’s been captured. She’s in Statesville Prison as we speak. Are you gonna let that crazy woman control you from an ocean away?

Okay. Since we’re sharing secrets, how about you star?

Oh, you were chatty Cathy a minute ago. Now you’re not willing to share. I see how this works. Oh fine. Don’t tell me who has Kayla. I will figure it out on my own. Good luck with that. Oh, screw luck. I’m excellent at deductive reasoning. And you know what, you just give up. Thomas Banks, your trusty right hand man.

Bull. See whoever took. Is someone that you’re protecting. See, I think I’m getting close. She’s better than Sudoku. See, whoever you’re protecting is someone that you care about. And as I know, you never cared about anyone in your entire life. I mean, maybe father, but he’s dead. Oh, Brady, of course, but he’s dead too.

Yes. Poor Beau died of a brain tumor just as I was dead before the unceremoniously dumped me into a hot tub and fried me to crisp. And yet here I sit before you.

What are you saying, Megan? You’re saying that Bow Brady is alive.

How long is that list of properties? It’s long. Everything from Titan’s headquarters to Victor’s child at home? Of course, we have no idea if my mom’s even at any of these properties. Let’s just stay positive. All right. All we gotta do is get out there and start looking. I think we should split up. Good idea.

I’ll go to the police station. I’ve been working with the isa, so they’ll talk to me. Stephanie, Chad, you speak together and Harris,

there you go. All right, let’s do this. You two. Be careful. Keep your phones on. Okay? I do. Hey, um, you be careful too. I’m going to the plays. Safest place in town. Uh, Steve possibly disappeared from there. That’s what I’m gonna find out. Thank you for helping my family. You gave me my life back. Just hope I can return the favor.

Wow. What that, just, this whole getting in touch with your feelings thing. You know, I, I always mocked it, but it’s really helping. I’m glad to hear that.

You think I need therapy. Therapy is what I do, so I’m predisposed to think that every. Can be helped in therapy. Ah. See I’m predispose to think I just don’t need it sitting around talking about my feelings and emotions. It’s not really my vibe.

Have you changed your mind? Well, I mean, I, this did help. A a lot right now,

but no, it didn’t change my mind, I don’t think. I wanna continue. I’m good. Not really. I’m, I’m, I’m, I’m fine. Really good. If you do change your mind again, you can call me. Oh, thank you. Appreciate that.

Yo, I’ll tell you one thing though. It was great meeting the famous Dr. I know

Marlena said that she would keep working with Rachel. I mean, not, not, not officially working with her, but she’s just talking things through with her. Yeah. She’s really the only mother figure that Rachel has. Right. Well, we really adore that little girl.

So have you, have you taken Rachel to see Kristen lately? No. No. The only, the only time she’s seen her mother recently is when she took that solo adventure to Statesville. Kristen keeps hounding me, but Dad, I don’t want Kristen poisoning her mind any. I just declined her call a little while ago. Oh, I see.

So you think it’s okay to, uh, to freeze her out? I, I, I, I mean, I mean, if, if Rachel. Thanks that you’re trying to keep her from seeing her mother here. She’s gonna dig in even more. You know that. Yeah, I know that. I don’t. As much as we would like it not to be true in this particular case, there’s a strong bond between mother and daughter.

I am not so sure that can be broken.

Look, uh, we may be sisters, but even so, it does take a little time to trust someone. Don’t you agree? What the hell are you getting at? Just not quite ready to play True confessions. Well, it’s time for me to go get settled into my new home, away from home, cuz it looks like I’m gonna be here for a while.

Theoretically, at least

no one controls me. Megan just woke me up to who I am. No, this is not you, Bo. Oh yeah. What do I have to show for that pansy ass? You say I was? How about a son and two daughters and two beautiful grandchildren, Bo and another one on the way. What? Is he pregnant? Yes. Do you hear that? Isn’t that wonderful news?

I mean, it’s a blessing Bo, isn’t it? Bo? This makes what I’m doing that much more important. What are you talking about? I’m gonna build an empire like my father did. Make something on myself, bro. They want you. They don’t want some kriyas to want to be, it’s like I told you before, whether the Brady’s were lacking in wealth.

We made up for how much we’ve loved each other. Come on. You know that, you know, the most valuable thing is that not just a bunch of numbers in a. You have to see that. What I see is that you’re wasting my time. Again, this is happening whether you like it or not, so get back to work. I need equipment, I need supplies.

You’re just stalling. No, I’m not. But maybe Ralph could just, you know, work with random junk. I can’t. I need, I need a laboratory. I need equipment. All of a sudden you have.

Okay, what you need.

This could be dangerous, Chad. We knew that when we came. So what I’m saying is I don’t think I should be dragging you into this. You have Thomas and Charlotte to think about. Nothing is gonna happen to me. Okay? And I’m not letting you do this alone. We’re gonna be fine. We got each other.

Oh, hey Doc. Oh, hi. Hi. Yeah, you got some flowers, but you know what? Mine are better. They are because they’re my favorites and because they’re from you, I love. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. So tell me how is the first day back? Um, it’s been pretty pissy. Mm-hmm. Good. We’ve been doing a lot, lot of catching up, right?

Sorry. Excuse me. Catching up. Yeah. Hey, this is Dr. Evans. Hi, Dr. Evans. It’s Alex Kiki. I’d like to make an appointment.

Statesville.

Hello? Yeah, I’ll accept Brady. Yeah, it’s me. What do you want? Actually, what I want is to relay to you something of the utmost importance.

You okay? No, I’m not. Okay. He could have shot you. Why did you bait him like that? To prove a point. He didn’t shoot me. He won’t. But he could have. And now Stephanie’s here. Don’t, don’t worry about Stephanie. If he can’t hurt me, he’s not gonna hurt his own niece. He’s not as dangerous as he pretends to be.

Baby. Listen, hope and Michaels have to be wondering where I am now. Okay? Hope is gonna follow the breadcrumbs. They’re gonna find us. You hear me? They’re gonna find us.

This warehouse is huge. There’s a lot of places for someone to be soaking around. What was that? Oh my God.

I’m Hope Brady Isa. I’m looking for a colleague. He was supposedly here yesterday, but hasn’t been seen since. Name’s Steve Johnson. Doesn’t sound familiar. You give me. Actually, I can do better than that. Ah, yes. The director of the ISA said he was an imposter, took him into custody. Shane Donovan took him into custody.

No. Okay. What, hold on a second, just to be clear. This, uh, this is the man who took Steve Johnson to custody. No, that, that’s not him. But this is Shane Donovan. So who’s the man who took Steve? Mr. Johnson’s custody.

Li confirms that EJ sent him a picture of Gabi and Stefan having sex in the DiMera wine cellar.

Eric then covers himself with a pillow and answers the door, claiming he was just getting dressed. Sloan says she came to apologize for overreacting since she did tell him that she was still planning on getting revenge on Paulina and Chanel. Sloan says she’s not guilty of what they are accusing her of but it makes total sense why he’d be suspicious. Eric says it’s no big deal and asks if that’s all.

Talia questions Johnny really asking her to marry him. Chanel questions saying yes and says that he was just so excited and she got caught up in the moment. Chanel guesses it was a temporary moment of insanity. Jada arrives. Talia asks if she got sent on a donut run. Jada reveals she’s actually here to investigate a crime. Chanel asks if something happened to Paulina. Jada assures that she’s fine, but Rafe and Melinda are both in the hospital, suffering from hallucinations. They call that awful while Talia asks what that has to do with the Bakery. Jada explains that they both had the breakfast biscuits that they purchased this morning, so there must have been something in them. Chanel argues that half the town had those biscuits and asks if there’s any other reports of people getting sick. Jada says not yet, but if they really sold that many, it’s likely they will. Talia worries that this could ruin Chanel’s business. Jada says one step at a time. Jada asks if it’s possible someone may have spiked those biscuits. Chanel responds that she knows exactly who it was.

Eric assures that they definitely had sex. Eric and Nicole then talk about seeing the other dressed as a priest and in a bikini. Sloan questions them seeing things that aren’t there and thinking things are something else. Eric says exactly while Sloan points out that they ended up in bed together but both don’t know how it happened. Sloan declares that it sounds to her like they were drugged.

Chanel tells Jada that it had to be Sloan because she leaked the story about her to the Spectator and now she’s coming after her. Jada asks how Sloan would know Chanel was the source. Chanel admits she told her yesterday and they got in to it physically. Talia mentions getting there to break it up, but not before Sloan drew blood. Chanel calls Sloan a total psycho which is what the headline in Leo’s column said. Chanel says that cost Sloan business so now Sloan is costing her business. Jada brings up that Sloan was at the police station when Rafe passed out and seemed just as shocked as she was. Chanel argues that Sloan was clearly putting on an act. Chanel wonders if that’s what happened to Johnny since they were acting really weird earlier and they both had the biscuits. Chanel argues that this has Sloan written all over it and questions who else would do something this twisted. Talia then has a flashback to herself that reveals she was actually the one who drugged the biscuits. Jada then tells them that whether Sloan is involved or not, she is going to make it top priority to find out who has been drugging the citizens of Salem and she’s going to bring them to justice…
