Update written by Joseph

Xander walks through the town square with a coffee. Leo walks up and acts like it’s for him, so he takes the coffee and drinks it. Xander tells him to just keep it. Leo mentions not getting much sleep last night. Xander asks if he was digging in the trash again for his next column. Leo argues that after the success of his first column, he has people lining up around the block to give him more gossip. Leo says he has more sources than he can count which should make Xander happy. Leo adds that his column will have the Spectator back in the black in no time. Xander questions what did keep Leo up last night if he wasn’t picking up scoops. Xander then remarks that he has no interest in hearing about Leo’s sex life. Leo then informs him that it wasn’t his sex life that robbed him of his rest, it was Gwen’s.

Gwen and Alex lay in bed together after having sex again. Alex tells her that she was incredible. Gwen says he wasn’t so bad himself. Alex asks if she has no more regrets about hooking up with him again. Alex knows Xander isn’t thrilled with them being friends with extremely good benefits. Gwen responds that Xander’s opinion doesn’t matter to her anymore and that’s the last she wants to talk about him. Alex says that’s good with him. Gwen says she’d much rather talk about him as they continue kissing.

At the Titan office, Maggie calls her secretary to send Alex in but she’s informed that Alex is not there. Brady then arrives and brings her flowers to congratulate her on her new job as CEO. Brady states that the family business could not be in better hands. Maggie thanks him. Brady admits he was a bit surprised that Victor passed over Alex for her. Maggie notes that Alex wasn’t happy about it but she thinks he’s coming around. Maggie adds that Alex should be here by now since they have a very important meeting this morning with a content syndicator who is interested in distributing digital articles from Titan publications. Brady jokes that she sounds like she’s been in charge of a major conglomerate for her whole life. Brady says he’s so proud of her. Maggie thanks him and says that means a lot. Brady hopes Victor doesn’t keep her so busy at Titan that she doesn’t have time to be his sponsor at AA meetings. Maggie assures that she would never let anything get in the way of her being there for him. Brady is glad to hear that as he admits the whole situation with Chloe has been tough and he’s been struggling a bit. Maggie says she’s sorry to hear that and asks if he’s been going to meetings. Brady admits he has not but says he will as Maggie hugs him.

Chloe exits her room at the Salem Inn and gets a call from prison which turns out to be from Kristen DiMera.

Chad brings Stephanie breakfast in bed. Chad notes that it’s the first night she slept over so he thought that was worth celebrating. Chad kisses her and says he wanted to thank her for forgiving him for opening his big mouth to Leo.

Leo asks if Xander is curious who Gwen was with last night. Xander claims he couldn’t care less. Leo then says if he doesn’t care then he won’t mind knowing as he exclaims that it was Xander’s smoking hot cousin, Alex.

Alex and Gwen continue kissing in bed until Alex tells her that he has to get to work as there’s a big morning meeting at Titan and Maggie will kick his ass if he shows up late. Alex mentions taking a quick shower, so Gwen suggests they shower together. Alex calls that a damn good plan as they get out of bed.

Chloe asks what Kristen wants. Kristen asks if that’s any way to talk to her future sister in law. Kristen then says she won’t be and that Chloe is nothing to her now that Stefan came to his senses and dumped her pathetic ass. Chloe argues that Stefan didn’t come to his senses, he was deprogrammed. Chloe reminds Kristen of her brainwashing scheme and says she was so desperate to keep her and Brady apart. Chloe declares that she doesn’t have time for this and tells Kristen to go to Hell. Kristen warns Chloe not to hang up as she has something that she needs to hear.

Paulina joins Abe at the Brady Pub. Abe informs her that he already ordered for them but Paulina says she wants pancakes, scrambled eggs, and bacon because they are celebrating and breakfast is on her. Abe assumes that Belle succeeded in getting her assets unfrozen then. Paulina reveals that Belle got the whole case dismissed and declares that Sloan is out of their lives forever.

Stephanie tells Chad that she knows he was only trying to defend her. Chad says he should’ve let her handle it and not brought up her mom, especially not to Leo. Stephanie understands he was just trying to get Leo to back off. Stephanie apologizes for being so hard on him. Chad says he’s sorry too and jokes that the good thing about their first fight is they got to spend all night making up as they then kiss.

Leo tells Xander about how Gwen sent him an urgent text that she was bringing Alex home so he needed to get out and since Xander banned him from sleeping at the office, he ended up on one of the lounge sofas at the Salem Inn. Xander can’t believe it and angrily complains that he warned Alex to stay away from Gwen but he didn’t listen. Leo comments that he’s not in a position to tell two hot people not to do what hot people do best. Leo reminds Xander that he had his chance with Gwen. Leo says he has to get to work, so he’ll see him at the office and walks off.

Brady tells Maggie that he just thought that once the situation with Stefan was resolved, he and Chloe would be fine and be together but he feels like they are further apart than they’ve ever been because of his daughter, Rachel. Brady says that Rachel has never had an unkind word to say about anybody until the last couple months and now she despises Chloe. Brady asks how the hell to handle that. Maggie offers to talk to her but Brady doesn’t think it would do any good because Kristen did such a good job of turning Rachel against Chloe, that anytime someone brings up the subject, she shuts down, goes on the attack, or has a tantrum. Maggie wishes she could say she was surprised by Kristen using her own daughter, but they both know Kristen will stop at nothing to get what she wants. Brady states that Kristen’s main goal in life right now is just to keep him and Chloe apart.

Chloe asks Kristen what the hell she needs to hear. Kristen says she’s heard it before and remarks that Stefan dumped her for someone who actually has a personality which means Chloe is on the market again. Kristen warns Chloe to stay the hell away from Brady. Chloe responds that who she decides to date is none of her damn business. Kristen argues that it is when it concerns the welfare of her daughter. Leo comes around the corner at the Inn and stops behind Chloe to listen in. Chloe repeats to Kristen that she would never do anything to hurt Rachel. Kristen remarks that she obviously hasn’t endeared herself to her. Kristen tells Chloe that Rachel can’t stand the sight of her. Chloe blames Kristen for doing everything in her power to turn Rachel against her. Kristen claims she didn’t have to do much because Rachel is an excellent judge of character. Chloe then remarks that Kristen’s sweet Rachel has turned in to a little monster and warns that if they aren’t careful, she will grow up to be just as deranged as her mother. Leo smiles while continuing to listen in behind Chloe.

Abe tells Paulina that it’s good to see her beautiful smile again. Paulina says he can expect that more now that they are rid of Sloan and her awful lies. Paulina then asks where Abe’s smile is. Abe responds that he’s relieved that Sloan’s bogus civil case has been thrown out, but admits he’s concerned about her latest threat against her and Chanel. Paulina argues that Sloan’s not scaring anybody anymore. Paulina says that the biggest mistake they made was giving Sloan a drop of their energy to feed off of. Paulina declares that she knows the perfect way to move on and pulls out her phone. Abe asks who she is calling. Paulina says it’s someone more than capable in letting the entire world know that Paulina Price is back in business and better than ever.

Stephanie guesses her and Chad’s first sleepover at his house is officially over. Chad hopes it’s the first of many. Stephanie says it better be. They kiss until Stephanie gets a call from Paulina. Paulina says she needs Stephanie and Chad to meet her at the Brady Pub. Stephanie says she’ll see her soon and hangs up. Stephanie informs Chad that they have been summoned to the Pub and Paulina sounded very chipper. Chad says he knows not to keep Paulina waiting, so they exit together.

Kristen complains about Chloe calling her daughter a monster and says if anyone is a monster, it’s Chloe. Chloe apologizes and says she didn’t mean it, blaming it on Kristen for pushing her buttons. Kristen argues that Chloe blames everything on her and says Chloe just expressed her hatred for her daughter. Chloe yells at Kristen to never call her again and hangs up. Leo finishes taking notes and walks by. Chloe says she didn’t see him there. Leo says that was obvious or else he doubts she would’ve called Brady’s daughter a little monster. Leo talks about taking notes and says it’s clear that Chloe despises Rachel for wrecking her relationship with Brady. Chloe pleads with Leo not to print what he overheard but Leo says he’ll be seeing her on the gossip page and walks off.

Xander sits in the town square, angrily drinking his coffee as Alex and Gwen come out of the Salem Inn together. Alex tells Gwen that he had a great time last night and this morning as they kiss. Alex suggests they do it again sometime. Xander approaches and comments on their double walk of shame. Alex asks who is ashamed. Xander says he wasn’t talking to him. Gwen asks why she should be ashamed. Xander comments on Gwen inviting Salem’s most notorious man slut in to her bed and remarks that he hopes they used protection because God knows what kind of STDs Alex has. Alex tells Xander that’s enough. Xander asks Alex what his sloppy seconds were like. Alex warns Xander to watch his mouth. Xander asks what he’s going to do if he doesn’t. Gwen tells Alex to just walk away. Xander tells Alex to listen to his playmate before he has to teach him a lesson. Alex shoves Xander, so Xander then punches Alex. Alex responds by tackling Xander.

Stephanie and Chad join Paulina and Abe at the Brady Pub. Stephanie asks Paulina what was so urgent. Paulina happily announces that Sloan’s lawsuit has been thrown out which means she is now once again in control of all her vast real estate. Stephanie and Chad congratulate her. Paulina says there will be plenty of time to celebrate later and right now, she wants SJP to print out a press release announcing her victory as she wants everyone to know if that if you mess with her, you best be prepared to lose because she is a woman who never backs down from a fight.

Gwen gets in between Alex and Xander, telling them to stop fighting. Gwen reminds Alex that he’s already late for work so they should get going. Xander calls that a great idea, joking that Alex wouldn’t want Maggie to bust out the ruler on him. Gwen holds Alex back and asks him to just go. Alex tells Gwen that he will call her later and kisses her. Alex warns Xander that this isn’t over. Xander says anytime, anywhere as Alex then walks away. Gwen then questions what the hell is wrong with Xander. Xander argues that Alex shoved him first. Gwen asks why he’s doing this since he made it very clear that he didn’t want her, so she questions why he cares if somebody else does. Xander argues that Alex isn’t good enough for her. Gwen asks if Xander thinks of her as sloppy seconds now that Sarah is gone. Xander says that was just talk. Gwen doesn’t want his apologies. Gwen says she took him at his word when he said he didn’t see a future with her and that’s fine, but she’ll be damned if his antics prevent her from moving on with her life. Gwen declares that what she does with Alex is none of Xander’s concern. Gwen tells Xander to leave them the hell alone and storms off.

Brady visits Kristen in prison. Kristen says she was surprised that he wanted to see her. Kristen guesses that Chloe came crying to him about their little tiff. Brady says he knows nothing about that and hasn’t spoken to Chloe. Brady questions why Chloe would come to see her anyway. Kristen says they spoke on the telephone. Brady suggests Kristen leave Chloe the hell alone. Kristen claims she merely called to offer her condolences on the end of Chloe’s relationship with Stefan and then Chloe got testy and called their daughter a monster. Brady stops her and says he doesn’t want to hear it. Kristen mocks how she can’t say one bad word about Chloe. Brady doesn’t know why he tries with her. Brady has a picture that Rachel drew for Kristen in art class. Kristen asks to see it but Brady says he wants something from her first.

Leo goes to his room at the Salem Inn and starts typing on his laptop, commenting that thanks to Chloe not using her inside voice, his second gossip column is going to put the first one to shame. Chloe shows up at his door. Leo jokes about writing his new column. Chloe cries that he can’t print that column since he only heard one side of the conversation that was taken out of context. Leo says he’s sorry but he has a responsibility to his readers. Chloe pleads with him and says she’s desperate. Leo asks how desperate she is.

Stephanie tells Paulina that they are so relieved that she and Chanel can finally put this whole nightmare behind them. Chad assures that SJPR will put tons of positive press behind any of her business ventures. Paulina says she will be counting on that and suggests she and Stephanie sign a new contract for her to handle all of her PR needs. Abe says that will give he and Chad a chance to catch up so Paulina and Stephanie exit together.

Chloe offers to pay Leo off. Leo questions if she’s attempting to bribe him from printing the truth. Chloe tells him to just take the money and do the right thing for once by keeping an innocent child from getting hurt even more. Leo asks if she means the innocent child that she called a monster that’s going to turn out like her deranged mother. Chloe argues that he wasn’t supposed to hear that and calls it a mistake that she deeply regrets. Chloe asks if Leo’s never said anything that he wishes he could take back. Leo calls regrets a waste of time. Chloe asks what will buy his silence if cash won’t work. Leo brings up that he has a big fan of Basic Black’s latest men’s line but Chloe informs him that she no longer works there which Leo says he hadn’t heard. Leo points out that maybe Nicole could hook her up. Chloe agrees to call her. Leo asks for one of everything from the men’s collection and then no one will have to know about her hateful outburst. Chloe screams fine and storms out.

Kristen questions what kind of game Brady is playing. Brady responds that she’s the one who likes games and he’s just trying to stay one step ahead of her. Brady says Kristen can have Rachel’s drawing as soon as she helps convince Rachel to ease up on Chloe. Kristen says no chance and tells him that he can keep the picture. Brady warns that he can withhold much more than just a drawing from her. Kristen asks what that means. Brady says she knows exactly what that means and calls it a symbol of what she could lose. Brady orders Kristen to write a letter to Rachel, saying she’s no longer harboring animosity towards Chloe and that she is fine with he and Chloe being together. Brady warns that if she doesn’t, she’s not going to see Rachel ever again.

Chloe exits the Salem Inn and calls Nicole, saying she needs one of everything from the men’s line sent to Leo Stark ASAP and that she’ll explain later. Chloe says she really appreciates this and owes her one. Chloe thanks her and hangs up. Chloe then sees Xander sitting on the bench nearby with ice on his hand and asks what happened to him. Xander tells her about punching Alex because he’s sleeping with his ex. Chloe assumes he means Sarah but then realizes and can’t believe they are fighting over Gwen. Chloe calls Gwen just as slimy as Leo, who she calls sadistic. Xander asks about her being pissed at Leo. Chloe informs him that Leo just blackmailed her. Xander asks what he’s holding over her. Chloe refuses to say or else she’ll have two people blackmailing her. Xander assures he won’t do that and states that while Leo works for him, he’s not his biggest fan. Chloe then informs Xander that Leo overheard her saying something negative about Brady’s daughter and now he’s threatening to put it in his column unless she gives him thousands of dollars worth of Basic Black merchandise.

Alex goes to the Titan office and tells Maggie that he’s sorry he’s late. Maggie questions him being sorry when they are due in the conference room in five minutes. Maggie asks what happened to his face. Alex responds that Xander happened. Maggie starts to ask but then decides she doesn’t want to know. Maggie says she needs to get to the meeting. Alex says he’ll freshen up and be right behind her. Maggie says she can’t have Titan looking like a gang of hooligans and then points out that he has blood on his shirt, so she declares that she’s taking this meeting alone. Maggie warns that when she gets back, they are going to have a serious conversation about his future at this company. Maggie then exits the office. Alex sits at the desk and looks in the mirror as Gwen arrives to check on him. Alex complains that Maggie is already totally fed up with him. Gwen blames herself but Alex says he’s the one that let Xander get under his skin and he started the fight. Gwen points out that Xander targeted him because of her. Gwen suggests maybe they should just call it quits. Alex says no way and that a little bump on the head is not going to scare him off. Alex thinks they should let this ride and see where it takes them. Gwen agrees that it sounds like a plan as they kiss.

Chloe gets a call back from Nicole that all the clothes were just delivered to Leo. Chloe thanks Nicole and says she owes her life to her. Chloe tells her she loves her and hangs up. Chloe declares that she is now off the hook and safe from Leo’s column. Xander says it appears not as he then reveals that Leo just published his new column, showing Chloe that it says that Chloe called Brady’s daughter a deranged monster just like her mother. Chloe can’t believe it and calls Leo a double crossing snake. Chloe says she and Brady finally had a chance for a fresh start. Xander encourages that they still can and suggests telling him it’s just lies. Chloe cries that it’s not and she actually said that. Chloe complains that she let Kristen goad her in to insulting their daughter and now when Brady sees this, she’s going to lose him forever. Chloe breaks down crying so Xander hugs her.

Kristen asks Brady if this is how it’s going to be until Rachel is 18 with a tug of war of threats. Brady argues that she made it this way when he didn’t want it to be. Brady blames Kristen for using their daughter as a weapon against the woman he loves. Kristen accuses Brady of using her love for her daughter against her. Kristen shouts that he’s no better than she is. Brady says maybe not, but he’s the one holding the cards right now. Kristen says fine and that she’ll write Chloe a letter of recommendation to their daughter if that will satisfy him. Brady orders her to make it glowing.

Abe tells Chad that he and Stephanie seem to be getting along pretty well these days. Chad confirms things are good and the kids love her. Chad knows Abe knows how hard it is to move on after losing the love of your life. Abe admits he never thought he’d find love again after losing Lexie, but Paulina makes him very happy. Chad calls that obvious. Abe notes that Stephanie makes Chad feel the same way as they joke about being lucky.

Paulina and Stephanie go to Paulina’s office building. Paulina comments on Stephanie’s satisfying grin all morning and the twinkle in her eye. Paulina guesses it’s because Chad has been lighting up her days and hopefully her nights too. Stephanie says she likes to remain professional but admits that Chad has been lighting up her days and her nights. Stephanie jokes that she knew it and can sense these things. Paulina is so happy for her after the awfulness with Alex. Paulina encourages that Stephanie has a winner now like she has with Abe. Paulina and Stephanie then head inside to Paulina’s office, only to find the office has been trashed.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 Ooh for me. You shouldn’t have, I didn’t. Hmm? My mistake. Just keep it. Oh, thanks boss. Man. Don’t mind if I do, I could use the boost. I didn’t get much sleep last night. Hmm. Gonna tell me you’re, don’t tell me you arrived. Digging through residential trash cans again for your. Police, after the success of Lady Whistleblowers first installment, I have tipsters lined up around the block to feed me morsels.

Finally, problem now is, what do I call my groupies little ladies? Little blow spare. Bottom line, Mr. Publisher. I have more sources than I know what to do with, which should make you very happy. My little column’s gonna have the spectator back in the black in no time. Ah, from your lips to our accountants is wait.

If you weren’t out tracking down scoops to the wee small hours, what to keep you up last night? Nevermind. I have zero interest in hearing about your sex life. Oh, well it wasn’t my sex life that robbed me of my beauty. It was Gwen’s.

Oh my God.

Oh wow. You are incredible. You’re so yourself,

so no more regrets. About hooking up with me again. I mean, I know Cousin Zander isn’t too thrilled about us being friends with extremely good benefits. You know what, Zander’s opinion doesn’t matter to me anymore, and that’s the last I want talk about him.

I’d much rather talk about you. Alexus and specifically that incredible is the trick that you did with your

this true.

Good morning, Sandra. Um, would you send Alex in, please? Oh, he’s not. I see. Oh yeah, sure. Of course. Send him in instead. Thanks.

Hi. Uh oh, Greaty. It’s so good to see you. Boom. Boom. Oh my goodness. Oh. Says beautiful flowers. Thank you, Adam. C e o oh oh oh. Family business. Could not be in better hands. Oh, thank you. That’s very kind. Well, it’s true, it’s true. Although I was, I was a good surprised that granddad passed over, Alex, to put you in charge.

But yeah, I’m surprised Alex, too, especially, he’s not a happy one. Mm-hmm. , but I think he’s coming around. Speaking of Alex, he should have been here by now. We have a very important meeting this morning with a content syndicator. He’s interested in distributing digital articles from Titans Publications. Oh my gosh.

Listen to you, you, you sound like you’ve been in charge of a major conglomerate for the, I don’t know, your whole life. What can I say? Quick study. . I’m so, so proud of you. Uh, thank you, Brady. That means a lot. Well, I just hope that granddad doesn’t keep you so busy at Titan that you will not have any more time to be my sponsored a.

Don’t be ridiculous. I wouldn’t let this job or anything else keep me away from being there for you. I’m glad to hear that. Just to be honest with you, this whole situation with Chloe is, it’s been, it’s been pretty tough and I’ve been struggling a little bit, Maggie. Oh, I’m sorry to hear that. Have you been going to meetings?

No, not lately. Nothing. Brady. I know, I know Brady. It’s okay. It’s okay. I’m okay. I will go. I will. Okay.

Hello? Uh, yeah, I guess I’ll accept the charge. Who the hell’s calling me from Statesville? Hello? Hello, Chloe. It’s your old friend Kristen.

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

Good morning, sleepy head, . Good morning. What’s all this? Oh, it’s just breakfast in bed. Well, I can see that, but what’s the occasion? Well, it’s the first night you slept over. Thought that was worth celebrating

and.

I wanted to say thank you for what? For, for giving me, for opening my big mouth to Leo.

Well, aren’t you the least bit curious who Gwen was hooking up with last night? Couldn’t care less. Well, if you don’t care, then you want my knowing. Leo, it was your smoking hot cousin, Alex.

Oh my God.

Well,

I put two into shame actually all day’s. Word, me, millennium. Speaking of work, I think I gotta get going baby. Got a big morning meeting at Titan and the old boss lady is gonna kick my ass. If I show a blade enough, I take a quick shower

actually. Plus

we have that shower together.

Damn good plan. Mm-hmm. tricks.

What do you want, Kristen? Oh, is that any way to talk to your future sister-in-law? Oh wait, actually you’re nothing to me and never will be. Now that Stephan has come to his sensors and dumped your pathetic ass, he didn’t come to his senses. You psycho. He was deprogrammed or do you not remember your little brainwashing scheme with Lee and Rolf?

God, you call me pathetic. You were so desperate to keep me and Brady apart that you. You know what? I don’t have time for this. Go to hell, Chloe. Don’t you dare hang up. I have got something that you damn well need to hear.

Oh, sorry I’m late, Dawn. I’m late. . Couple minutes. You know, , I took the privilege of ordering forest. Oh, and half a grapefruit And two egg white omelets. Turkey sausage . No, no, no, no, no, no. . You’re gonna have to tell the cook. 86. The health plate. I want pancake cakes and scrambled eggs, yolks included, and bacon.

Two extra sides of it. We’re celebrating Abraham Carver and breakfast is on me. All right, well then I assume that they’ll succeeded in getting your assets unfrozen. Oh, no. If she did so much more than that, she got the whole case dismissed. Shaone, the devil herself. Peterson is out of. Forever,

Chad, we’ve been over this. I know that you were only trying to defend me. Yeah. But I should have let you deal with it and I should have never brought up your mom. Especially not to somebody like Leo. Well, like I. You were just trying to get him to back off and I shouldn’t have been so hard on you. I’m really sorry.

I’m sorry too. It was a big thing about our first fight though. Oh, what’s that? As we got to spend all night.

So there I was having just exfoliated getting ready to tuck in and watch that sexy nerd Seth Meyers. When I get an urgent text from Gwen, she was bringing Alex home and I had to scr before they got. And since a certain newspaper man barred me from crashing at the spectator offices, I ended up on one of those lumpy lounge sofas.

At the end. Side note, I need to speak with management about cleaning the furnishings. A spritz of lavender or something. I can’t believe it. I know, right? The least a five star in could do is provide appropriate accommodations for those of us displaced by their promiscuous roommates, not Alex. Him steer clear of Gwen, he didn’t listen to me.

Well, at the risk of facing the wrath of Zandy, I don’t think you’re in a position to tell two single hot people not to do what hot people do. Best present, company included. Okay, my my point is, is that you had your chance, it’s paraphrase for legal certain queen, if you were interested in said parties should put appropriate matrimonial jewelry on said party’s finger.

Right.

Well, I’ve gotta get to work. I’ll see you at the office, boss. Man,

I just really thought once this whole situation with Stephan was resolved, that Chloe and I would be fine and we’d be together and I just feel like We’re further apart than we’ve ever been. Those are Rachel. Yeah, my little girl. My beautiful big eyed. Big smiley girl. She, uh, she’s never had an unkind word to say about anybody ever up until the last couple months.

Mm. And now she des, she despises Chloe. How the hell am I supposed to handle that? Well, I don’t know. Would you like for me to talk to her? I appreciate you saying that, but I don’t think it would do any good. Mm-hmm. honestly. Kristen has done such a good job of turning her against Chloe, that anytime anyone brings up that subject, Rachel just shuts down or she goes on the attack or she has a tantrum.

Well, I wish I could say I’ve been surprised by Kristen using her own daughter in that manner, but we both know that that woman will stop at nothing to get what she wants. It’s true. The only thing she wants right now, the her, her main goal in life right now. Hmm. It is just to keep cling me apart. Go on.

What the hell do I need to hear? Well, you’ve heard it before, since you don’t seem to retain anything in that pea size brain of yours, and since Stephan dumped you for a woman who actually has a personality, meaning you’re on the market again, and I will say this for the umpteenth time. You stay the hell away from Brady.

Let’s get one thing straight. Kristin, who I choose to date is none of your damn business. Well, it is my damn business when it concerns the welfare of my daughter. Well, I’m going to say this one more time. Since you can’t seem to retain anything in that evil, twisted brain of yours, I would never do anything to hurt Rachel.

Well, you obviously not endeared yourself to her. In fact, Chloe, she can’t stand the side of. And whose fault is that? You’ve done everything in your power to turn that little girl against me. Well, I didn’t have to do much. My sweet Rachel is an excellent judge of character. Your sweet Rachel is now a little monster, and if you and Brady aren’t careful, she’s gonna grow up to become just as deranged as her mother.

That’s what I’m talking about,

You know, it’s so good to see that beautiful smile on your face again. Oh, well, you can expect to see even more these pearling whites now that we are rid of Sloane Peterson and all of her awful lies.

So, well, where’s your? You know, I’m, I’m relieved. I’m relieved that Sloan’s bogus civil case has been thrown out, but I’d be lying to say that I wasn’t concerned about her latest threat against you and Chanel. Police. Sloan Peterson has been selling wolf tickets ever since she showed her sour puss here in Salem

She’s not scar anybody anymore. The biggest mistake that we made was even given that woman one drop of our energy to feed off of. It’s time to move on. I know the perfect way to do it,

huh? Oh, who know? Who? Who are you calling? Someone more than capable of letting the citizens of Salem. Oh hell. Even the entire world know Paulina Price is back in business and better than ever.

I guess this means our first sleepover at your house is officially over. Oh, I wanna sleepover at wa. Hmm. First of many. I hope better be

it’s Paul. Paulina, good morning and it’s going to get even better, but I need you and Chad to meet me at the Pub Toronto. Okay, I will let him know. See you soon.

What’s that? We’ve been summoned to the pub pronto. Did she say why? No. What She did sound very chipper. Well, it’s one thing I know that’s not to keep Pauline apprentice. Wait. Shall,

how dare you call my daughter a monster, an innocent little girl who is heartbroken because she was separated from her mother. If anyone is a monster, Chloe, it’s you. Look, I, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it. I lost my temper. Okay. , you pushed my buttons. Mm-hmm. . Mm-hmm. . Blame it on me like everything else. It’s my fault that you finally expressed your rational hatred from my daughter.

You hurling these vicious insults at me. Damn you, Kristen. Don’t ever call me again,

Leo. Hey, uh, I didn’t see you there That much is obvious, girlfriend. Otherwise, I doubt you would’ve been calling Brady’s daughter a little monster. . Oh wait, what are you doing? Just jotting down some notes. I find it very interesting that a certain sale mite thinks another Salem’s daughter is the next Rhoda pen.

Oh, that’s the little girl from the bad seat, played by the inimitable Patty McCormack. In case you haven’t seen the movie, Leo, please, it’s clear you despise the girl for wrecking your relationship. You, you can’t print what you just overheard. Please. I’ll be seeing you Ms. Lane on the gossip page.

I had a great time last. And this morning? Mm-hmm. , how about you? Smashing?

I think we should do it again sometime. Yeah, I think we should. The rare double walking shame. Whos ashamed? I wasn’t talking to you guys. Why should I be ashamed? Well, you certainly can’t be proud, can you that you invited Salem’s most notorious manslaughter into your Becca? I hope you use protection. God knows what kind of STDs he has.

All right, that’s enough. Cause I’m a little bit curious though, Alex, what’s it like? Lapping up a heart serving of my sloppy seconds. You know, I’d really watch your mouth if I were you, mom, boy, why? What are you gonna do if I don’t? Okay, look, Alex, let’s just go. Let’s just walk away, shall we? Yes. Alexis, listen to your little playmate here before I have to teach you a lesson.

You most certainly did not learn in a prep school.

Good morning. Good morning. Holly know what so urgent. Well, I’m happy to announce a drum roll, please. Oh, please, yes.

Sloan Peterson’s frivolous lawsuit has been thrown out. Boom. What? Which means I am now once again a control of, oh my vast real estate holdings. Price. That is so great. That’s incredible news. Congratulations, . Oh yes, thank you. Thank you, . But there’ll be plenty of time for celebrating later. Right now I need SJ p R to put on a press release announcing my victory.

I want the whole world to know that if you want to mess with the best, which is me, you must be prepared to lose cause pulling the prices. One woman who never backs down from a.

Enough trust. Fun. Is that it? Hey, hey. Stop, stop, stop. Alex, you are already late for work. You should go here. Should go now. That’s okay. Excellent advice. Actually, you don’t want, aren’t he mags breaking out the rule and wrapping your knuckles, do you? No. No. Alex, peace please. Just.

Fine, we’ll call you later.

This is an over, oh, anytime, anywhere you want me to, even up that face of yours, just let me know.

What the hell is wrong with you? Me. He shoved me. Why are you doing this? You made it very, very clear that you don’t want me, so why should you care if somebody else does that? Playboy isn’t good enough for you, Gwen,

I see what this is. You, your precious. Sarah’s no longer here, so you’ll just settle for work. What did you call me Sloppy. Is that really, is that really what you’re thinking? Of course not. I was just, you know, I was just talk. Yeah. Well, you said it with a lot of conviction, didn’t you? I’m sorry. I don’t want your apologies.

You know when you told me how you felt about me, I took you at your word. You don’t see a future with me. And that’s fine, but I will be damned if your Neanderthal antics prevent me from moving on with my life. What I do with Alex is none of your bloody concern. Do you hear me? Zander?

So you just leave us the Hello? Hello?

I was surprised that you wanted to see me. Let me guess. Chloe came crying to you about our little Tiff. Tiff? Mm-hmm. . No, I don’t know anything about that. I haven’t spoken to Chloe. Why would she come here to see you anyway? Oh, we talked on this new invention called the telephone. Hey, here’s something new.

Why don’t you try leaving her the hell alone? Why don’t you do that? Calm down, Brady. I merely offered my condolence suit about the end of her relationship with my brother, and she got testy and she got nasty and she called our daughter a monster Brady. Say this. I don’t wanna hear it. Of course. You don me to think I could say one bad word about your dimwitted little song.

God, I don’t even, I don’t even know why to try with you.

Is that for me?

Yeah. Yeah. This is a, this is a picture that Rachel drew for you in our.

I want something from you first.

Thanks to Chloe Lane not using her inside voice. The second installment of Lady Whistleblower is going to put the first one to shame.

All right. All right.

Who is it? It’s Chloe Lane. Ms. Lane do come in. Are you here to borrow a cup of sugar? Do you know damn well why I’m here? Oh, right, because I’m finishing up my new column to kill a songbird. The social life and death of Chloe Lane. Leo, you cannot print that column. What? What you heard was one side of a conversation.

It was taken outta context. I’m sorry you’re out of luck. I have a responsibility to my readers and they know I chant to be silenced. Please, Leo. I’m desperate. Desperate, huh? Well, that’s an interesting new wrinkle. How desperate.

This price. We are so relieved that you and Chanel can finally put this nightmare behind you. You’re here, and if I may speak for both of us, you can count on SJ p r to generate tons of positive press in any of your upcoming business ventures. Well, I’m counting on you both to do just that . In fact, Stephanie, why don’t you and I head back to the office now?

Re-up your contract to handle all my PR needs. . Uh, you boys don’t mind, do you? No. No. That’ll give Chad me a, a chance to catch up. Wow, what he said. . Well, all righty then. Okay, young lady. Let’s move it. . Alright. Let’s give this. Mm-hmm. . There you go.

I am sorry, Chloe, are you attempting to bribe a lady of the fourth estate to prevent her from printing the truth? Just take the money you bottom feeding little twerp. Do the right thing for once and keep an innocent child from getting hurt even more than she already has been. Innocent child. You mean the innocent child?

You call the little monster who’s gonna turn out like her deranged mother. That innocent child. She weren’t supposed to hear that. If a tree falls in the forest and no one’s there to hear it is said tree’s, boyfriend’s daughter, not still profoundly insulted. What are you talking about? L Look what I said to Kristen was a mistake and I deeply, deeply regret it.

Haven’t you ever said anything that you wished you could have taken back? No. Regret is a waste of time and it costs us friend. God damn it. Well, if cash won’t fire your silence, then what will? Well, let’s see. I am a big fan of Basic Black’s. Latest men’s line used to work there, right? No, I do not. Oh, I hadn’t heard that.

But your bff, Nicole Walker still does. Yeah. Maybe she can hook us, assist up if you ask nicely. Okay. Yes, I will call her. Excellent. I believe it was Jeff Pulitzer who said it best? Show me the swag. The tongue won’t wa it’s a Joseph Pulitzer. You dolt. That’s what I said. Anyway, get me one of everything from the men’s collection in a size small, or am I a medium better?

Make it a S medium. You do that. Nobody has to know about your hateful outburst. My lips and my laptop will remain. Fine. Fine. Ooh,

What kinda game are you playing? Brady? You’re the one that likes games. Kristen, you love games. I’m just trying to keep one step ahead of you. Oh, what? By withholding a drawing that our daughter made from me, and people say, I’m cruel. Kristin, you can have the. As soon as you help me convince Rachel to ease up on Chloe, not a chance.

What’s one picture? Just keep it,

you know, I can, uh, I can withhold much more than just, uh, die from here. What is that supposed to mean? We know exactly what it means though, right? I want you to think of this as just a symbol. Of what you could lose. You are gonna write a letter to Rachel telling her that you no longer harbor any animosity towards Chloe, and that you are fine with Daddy and Chloe being together.

Okay? If you don’t, you are not gonna see Rachel live again.

Yeah. I need. Everything from the men’s line sent to Leo Stark at the Salem and asap. I will explain later. Medium. Yeah, I know Nicole. I really, I appreciate this. I, I, I really, really owe you on. Thank you.

What happened to you?

My, uh, cousin Alex. He smashed his smug pointy little face into my fist. And why would he do such a thing? Sleep with my ex. Oh, Sarah’s back. I’m not Sarah. Oh wait, don’t tell me you two. Were fighting over Gwen Riz check. Ugh. She’s just a slimy. As her pal Leo starts. Actually, that guy’s worse. He’s sadistic little.

I thought I could hold a grudge. You’re still pissed at Leo, I promise. Taking you down to the cleaners, huh? No, I have a much more pressing reason to hate the guy. That little vermin just blackmailed me. What’s he holding over? I’m not gonna tell you that I’ll have two people holding something over. Nah, clay, I’m not gonna do that.

Trust me, Leo works for me, but I’m not exactly his biggest fan. You know what I mean? Fine. Leo overheard me saying something negative about Brady’s daughter and now he’s threatening to publish it in his column unless I give him thousands of dollars worth of basic black merchandise.

Sorry, I’m late. You’re sorry, Alex. We are doing the conference room in five minutes and what happened to your. Sander happened. Sander, and what did you, no, you know what? Just scratch that. I don’t wanna know. I need to get to this meeting. Okay, well, let me just freshen up real quick and I’m right behind you.

Hell no. I can’t let Titan look like a gang of hooligans. Is that blood on your shirt?

Oh, oh, no, no, no, no, no. Are not going anywhere near that conference room. I’m taking this meeting alone, auntie

oh oh oh oh. And Alex, when I get back here, you and I are gonna have a serious conversation. About your future at this company,

knock.

I would go easy on the eyeshadow next time. Hmm, good call. Um, I told your assistant that I had an appointment. I hope my little fear isn’t going to get you in trouble with boss Maggie. Trust me, one, your little fib would be a drop in the bucket. As far as Maggie’s concerned, she’s already totally fed up with me.

I’m so sorry, Alex. This is all my fault. How is it your fault? When I’m the one that let Xander under my skin? I started that whole stupid fight. Yeah. But Xander targeted you because of me.

Um, you know, um, maybe we should just, you know, call it.

No way. A little bump on head is not gonna scare me off. Zander be damned. I think that we should let this ride and see what it takes us. What do you think? It’s like a plan. It sounds like a plan.

I do your makeup next time.

Oh, amazing. So it was all just delivered. Oh, thank you. Of course, Leo didn’t tip your delivery person. He’s such a stingy little creep. Nicole, thank you. I, I owe you my life. Thank. Love you. Bye. Ugh. I am off hook. Leo got his merchandise. Now I’m saved from that gossip column. Ah, Chloe. I’m afraid no one is saved from the lady.

What is that supposed to mean? Leo just turned in this new column, Chloe Lane Brady. Daughter is a deranged monster like her mother. Oh my God. That double crossing snake Xander. After everything that Brady and I have been through, we finally had a chance at a fresh start. Now you still did. You, you tell Brady that is so alive, but it’s not.

I actually said this. I let Kristin der go me into insulting their daughter, and now when Brady sees this, I am gonna lose him forever. Oh my God. On my God.

Is this house gonna be till Rachel’s 18? A tug of war of threats back and forth. I threatened to take her away from you. You threatened to take her away from me. You made it the. I did not want it to be like this. Oh, right, right, right. Because I am always the bad guy. You are the one that stoked Rachel’s resentment of Chloe in the first place.

Okay. You have used our daughter as a weapon against the woman that I love. You are using my love for my daughter against me. You’re no better than I am, Brady.

Maybe not, but I’m the one holding the cards right now.

I will write Chloe a letter of recommendation to our daughter. Will that satisfy you?

Make it glowing,

Well, you and Stephanie seem to be getting along pretty well these days. Yeah. Yeah. Things are good. And the kids, they love her. Well, dad seems to be pretty fond of her too. I am. I don’t have to tell you how hard it is to move on after you lose the, the love of your life. No. No, you don’t. You know, I never thought I’d find in love again after I lost your sister, but Paulina.

Well, she makes me very happy. It’s obvious. . Well, it’s also obvious that Stephanie makes you feel the same way she does. Couple of lucky old dogs are we? Indeed we are. Uh, don’t think I ever noticed that satisfying little grin on your face all morning. Really? Hmm. I’ve been grinning. Or maybe it’s the twinkle in your eye.

Uh, whatever it is. , I’m guessing it’s because Chad has been lighting up your day and hopefully you are nice too. Am. . I like to remain professional and discreet, but yes, he’s been lighting up my dates and my night . Oh, I knew it. Oh, a woman. A woman can sense these things. . I’m so happy for you. After all that awfulness with.

Yeah. Yeah. That was a bad situation. Mm-hmm. . Well, you have yourself a winner now. Just like my Abraham. Oh, I’m telling you Stephanie. Oh, everything. Everything is coming up Roses for me and for.

Oh my God. Oh my God.

Neil, I’m troubling you. I mean, normally I wouldn’t ask about someone else’s life, but your sadness amuses me, . I’m trying to text this girl I met at a party. It’s so much pressure. I feel like I’m gonna die. Neil picking up a pizza from Chuck E. Cheese doesn’t count as a party. . It was a real party. For my grandmother’s 90th birthday at her care home

Oh, that’s the stuff. But I did meet a very cute nurse. Her scrubs had puppies on them, so I told her I have a puppy. I’ll have to figure that out later.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Morning baby mama. Oh, I see you took down that health one sign . And I’m sorry I had to put down my foot about it. Mama left. Chanel. Chanel . No, I know you run off your feet put Allie gone. But it’s outta my hands. The court won’t let you hire anybody. Mama, you didn’t let me finish. I already did.

Mm God. I love these Brady Pub Muffins.

Mm. I’m not so sure what, I dunno. Something’s missing. Trying to figure out what it is. Brown sugar? Mm-hmm. . Oh yeah. How come I didn’t think of that? You know, it’d be more perfect that you had added a little bit more of a caramel note too. Caramel note, huh? Yeah. Everything else is great though. I mean, I still can’t believe you get to roll out of bed and have breakfast like this waiting for you.

What? Well, don’t get too used to it. Now that you found a job, you’re gonna have to find your own place too. I don’t plan on sharing my bed with my little sister forever. Why not? It’s not like you’re sharing it with anybody else.

Commissioner, find a house. Call come bearing documents. Still think you’re making a mistake, but uh, you want to drop the charges against Brady and Eric, you’re gonna need to sign on the dotted line. I do. Don’t come in. Okay. Look, don’t get me wrong, it’s not like I enjoyed being kidnapped and worked over by a met scientist, but gotta say I can’t complain about the end.

Come. Right? Yeah. You made that clear. So why did the police commissioner find it necessary to run this errand in person? Well, actually, I’m not just here to have you sign documents. I’m also here about my sister, Gabby,

you won’t regret agreeing to take this meeting, Mr. Sax. Hmm. In fact, I’m, I’m very confident that you’ll be impressed with my wife. She’s not only a a, a brilliant businesswoman. She’s extraordinarily creative. Good morning, Mrs.

Good morning, and it’s been a very enjoyable one so far.

Oh, a text really this hour. It’s not a text. It’s an alert.

It’s an alert to let me know if there’s any job opportunities for a photo. and it’s may be covered because of you and I appreciate it, but I need to fill my daytime hours.

What a lovely way to wake up. Did you sleep well? Better than I have in. O I don’t know how long, uh, well, not having a drug-induced hangover probably helps, no doubt. You know, maybe what also helps is you and Stephan finally sitting down and hashing everything out. Yeah, about that. There’s a bit more to the story.

Hmm. We’ll film in, please. Yes, Ste and I hashed things out, but that doesn’t mean everything’s settled far from that, you see. Though my brother may not know it. I’m as committed as I am and was to taking him down

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

Stop. Stop. What? The alert. Just cancel it. Sorry. I need a job. Right. No, I get that. But not just any job. You’re incredibly talented. Eric, a wonderful photographer. So who needs a boss? Hmm? You should be your own boss. You should open up your own gallery.

I don’t understand. I mean, not that I expected you and Stefan to become best friends. I understand. Look, I said all the right things to him. But I did have my fingers crossed behind my back, as did my brother, I’m sure. And it’s obvious he wants what he’s always wanted Lee out of the way, Gabby in his life, and the two of them running the mirror, which I am not going to allow to happen, meaning I have to stop the two of them teaming up to sme.

Okay? And how are you gonna accomplish? Well, they’re forming my own team, of course, which I’ve actually already done with Lee Shin.

Mm-hmm. . I look forward to it as well. Yeah, talk soon then. Thanks. So how much did you hear? I heard your comments about me, your very effusive comments, all of them sincere. You want this deal for your fashion line to go through at Saxons, don’t you? What I, no. I haven’t even agreed to go in and pitch them and hear you her setting it up.

Well, you seem intrigued enough last night you took all the paperwork to bed with you. Just curious. That’s all. It doesn’t mean I’m ready to make a deal. It’s just an initial meeting and no one’s gonna rush you into anything. Gabby, I want you to have an outlet. This incredible creativity of yours and Saxton seems very interested, but if, if I’m being too pushy, I can always call them back and cancel the meeting.

So can I assume that Gabby living with Lee bugs the hell outta you as much as it does me. I hate it a lot. Figured as much, although I will admit, I, uh, don’t really know all the details of their arrangement considering Gabby, uh, well, she stopped confiding in me since she knows how I feel about Lee as opposed to all the warm and fuzzies you feel about me.

Well, let’s just say that he makes you look. Uh, now with that said, I hope to hell you, uh, haven’t given up on getting her away from. Oh no. Never giving up on that. You can bank on it. Good, good. Just be careful. You know, Shannon obviously already tried to pull the plug on you once. I, uh, don’t think he really likes competition.

I’m not competition shin. I’m gonna blow that son of a bitch out of the water.

A gallery. Me. Well, when I couldn’t fall asleep last night, I spent a good hour going through your portfolio. Eric, you would have no trouble filling in entire gallery’s walls, especially with those photos you took in Africa, . Now you’ve been building this whole library of images. And meanwhile, you set alerts on your phone for someone who has a 10 of your talent, hoping that they’ll dein to hire you.

Listen, I need a job, Sloan. No. What you need is to take charge of your career. You know, I appreciate your support, but I mean, God getting a gallery space, do you know what it takes? It takes money to buy the supplies, not to mention a gallery. So how am I supposed to find that I have the perfect place? It’s called Sweet Bits.

You may remember the person I hired. Her name is Talia and she is perfect for sweet bits. I remember her fine. You are the one forgetting we can Scott throwing money around Chan. Now every penny we spin is being watched by the court. Damn it, mama. I can’t believe Sloane Peterson got that judge to sign off on a plan like this.

Please tell me that bail is working on getting that freeze on our accounts reversed. Believe me, she’s trying. I mean, she’s hoping to get the whole crazy case that’s missed, but we have to be realistic. Baby girl. She’s a lawyer, not a miracle worker. Okay, well, neither am I and I can’t rent a successful bakery without any.

I need to swoop in and lock Talia down before I lose her. But what if you made this girl an unpaid intern? No. Nope. Just until the lawsuit is over. I cannot do that. Mama. She worked at one of the most successful bakeries in New York City. I mean, I have to offer her a competitive salary or else someone else in Salem is gonna snap her up in.

Now I guess you need to win the lottery.

I open my door to you, give you a place to lay your head, and this is the things I get grief about my love life. I was just joking. Really? You thought that was funny? Ugh, you’re too sensitive, Jada. And look, I’m not with anyone else either right now and it’s fine. Me and you we’re independent women, right?

We do just fine on our own. That we do. So here’s to the both of us flying solo.

So how long has it been, since what? Since that flying solo and here I thought we were dropping the subject. Fine. It’s none of my business. No, it’s. But I, I have nothing to hide. I broke up with someone a few months ago. Wow. A few months. It’s a long time. My breakup was pretty loose. I’m doing fine, Talia, and I’m sure you are.

But is there someone new on the horizon at least?

After my brother and I got honest with each other, I invited Lee over to tell him that I’m willing to join forces, and now he knows that I fully support his reconciliation with Gabby, and I’m willing to do whatever it takes to make that happen. Okay. And what did you tell him about the situation with Stephan?

Nothing he can use against. Leon knows what I want him to know, and more importantly, Leoni heard what he’s willing to hear, and in return I got an earful. Meaning, meaning he’s cooked up some wonderful distraction for Gabby one, which she’s just made.

Don’t cancel. The meeting won’t look on either one of us if I bail now. So I’ll go in beat with sex and see what happens. I actually know what will happen. You’ll go in there and press the hell out of them. Before you know it, everyone will forget all about Gabby Sheik and your new designs will leave them in the dust.

Okay. You can dial down on the flattery. I know how good I am. Oh, it doesn’t hurt to be reminded, does it? I’m gonna go get ready for this meeting. Oh. Then I’ll make you breakfast to remember.

So Gabby might have a new fashion line through Saxon’s department stores. Department starts, right? So while Stephan’s forced to sneak around, try and statue a few stolen moments with. She’ll be going to bed every night just a few feet from the man who revived the artistic side of her career. My Gabby’s in love with Stephan, and she’s mourned him for years.

She’s never gonna be able to stay away from him. Mm. And that’s where things get interesting. Oh boy. How so? He filled me in on a very important stipulation in his and Gabby’s deal. She will get his Demir shares if she remains in the marriage for six months, but only if she remains faithful. Oh my God. The contract actually has a fidelity.

one, which I might be able to take advantage of. Aj, you’re playing a dangerous game. What if Stephan finds out what you’re doing behind his back? ? Well, I like taking risks. That’s the fun in life, isn’t it? Wouldn’t you say? Yeah, bet. I guess it depends on what that risk is. Wow. Getting involved with someone romantically.

That’s risky business, isn’t it? Since one. You can have that poor little heart. True, but it’s definitely fun nonetheless. Wouldn’t you agree? Yes.

The hell do you think you’re doing? Getting dressed. This is my bedroom. Remember living out a suitcase over here, unless of course you wanna change our sleeping agreement, invite me into your bedroom. Nice try. I’m gonna go get ready myself. Hey, listen for breakfast, um, egg white omelet with spinach butter toast, coffee, black.

Coming up.

Hello Stephan Lee. What the hell are you doing? Answering Gabby’s phone.

Uh, sweet bits. They’re going out of. Well, Chanel and Paul might not know that yet, but yes, and once I win my case against them, the space is mine. I want better use of it than for your gallery. Are you sure about this? Did it all win? No. Yes. No. No, no. But this is a good idea. Look, I get it. You don’t wanna take business away from Chanel and you won’t be, you know, that’s, that’s my job.

And believe me, I’m really looking forward to doing it. You’re just like the beneficiary. And with the cash I win from my judgment against them. I mean, hey, I can even be an investor too,

me with Brown Gallery. Oh, don’t say no because it’s Complic. Say yes because it’s thrilling.

You better get that. This maybe. About the case. Hold on, on Peterson here.

What?

God, I hated this never ending war with Sloan. Oh, believe me. Believe me. I hate it too. And you are right. This is war. That’s why we need to think strategically now. If you hire this girl, it’s gonna look like you’re trying to put one over on the court, and then the judge will penalize you and then Sloan wins

it’s bill. Well, well answer. It’s probably about the case. Hello? What

Bella are you. Oh, no, no, no. She knows right here. She’s right here with me now. Y Yeah. Okay. No, I have to call you back. Oh. Oh, Lord. Oh, Lord, Lord, mama. Stop calling for the Lord and tell me what happened. Come on. What did Bell say? Mama? Mama. You’re scaring me. Oh, I’m sorry. I don’t know what we’re gonna do now that we’re gonna have all this free time since Bell got the case thrown out.

Oh, baby throw we free, which

Good morning, brave. Hi. Hi. So, uh, you enjoying your time in Salem so far? You know, I was until about 20 minutes ago when my big sister was saying I was cramping. Her style. Need to move out stack. But little does she know you have to have style to cramp first. . Please feel free to ignore her. Yeah, duly noted.

That’s, what were you guys talking about a second ago when I walked up? This seemed kind of intense. You know, it’s funny you should ask, didn’t you say you have the new Java Co too? You know, we didn’t want you to be late. Oh no, it’s. A good point. You know, now that I’m a baker, I have to get used to the early morning shifts.

Wait, wait, wait. You’re going to be working at a bakery? Mm-hmm. at Sweet Bits in Horton Town Square. You know it. That’s your new job. What’s wrong with that? Sweet Bits has the best donuts in town, and they’ll be even better now that I’m there. What’s going on? Why would you work as a baker? What’s wrong with Bakers?

Nothing. That’s your chosen field, but it isn’t yours now, is it? What am I missing here? It’s just that tie here is not a baker. She’s a doctor.

You’re a doctor? I have a medical degree, yes. Stop making it sound like you just got your learner’s permit. She got her degree from Stanford, one of the best medical schools in the country, and she graduated top 10% of her class. Top 5%. Actually, you know, you’re only proof my point, right? How is working at a baker using any of your talents?

I’m a very talented. When you said you got a job, I assumed it was at University Hospital. I thought it was always your dream to follow in daddy’s footsteps. No, it was daddy’s dream to me. Follow him into medicine. It doesn’t make it mine. But you worked so hard. Who walks away from a career like that? Me.

And you’re right. I don’t wanna be easily from my new job, so I’ll catch you guys later. Bye. Re bye. Bye, Jada.

I wonder if Chanel Dupree knows just how overqualified her new baker is.

So this means I can hire Talia or No, I already hired her. So this means now I don’t have to fire Talia . Oh, you can hire, uh, baker’s dozen of Talia if you want to. Oh, did you see what I just did there? Uhhuh. . Yeah. I, I did what? I’m just way too happy to even complain about your terrible sense of humor. , we owe Bill big time.

Oh, do we ever hold that? Brilliant woman left Sloan. Dust

I wondered how that witch is taking it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It’s okay. Okay. It’s okay. Please. Everything is not okay. That whole lawsuit, everything, everything relied on that, and now it’s dead in the water. They’re murderers, and they won again. Right. It was just a civil case, right? No one was going to prison. It’s about money you have. It was never about the money.

They’ve torn my family apart and they just keep getting away with it because they’re cute and cuddly and fun and everyone loves them. But me, Sloane Peterson, he’s the soest soulless ambulance chaser. God forbid I forget about my mother being pushed off of a roof to her death. She’s like, whatever happens to me, whatever I get taken from me, you know?

Oh, I deserve it.

Sorry, I’m on your side and I’m sorry if. It sound like your case was unimportant.

Is my last shot my,

can I help you? You can help me Lee, by giving Gabby her phone back. I’m afraid. My wife is a little busy right now. Doesn’t have time for Chit Chat. She’s getting dressed for a very important meeting. What meeting? If Gabby thinks it’s any of your business, I’m sure she’ll tell you. It’s just not my place.

The clock is ticking on that little six month deal you. You know what happens when time runs out? I know what will happen if you keep calling here. I also know what will happen if by some bizarre chance you actually succeed attempting her into some secret rendezvous thought of that scares you to death, doesn’t it?

It should scare Gabby to death because she fails to resist you. She’ll lose all those dememer shares and she’ll have you to thank for that because you couldn’t keep it in your pants. So do her a. Do yourself a favor and stay away from my wife, Lee. Lee.

Bitch.

Uh, is there a problem, brother?

Thanks for all your incredible work. Bell, you, you are truly a lifesaver. You don’t know how much of a relief this is to me and Chanel, oh, we are eternally grateful. . Mm-hmm. Oh, oh, you too. Bye now. Oh, what are you working on, honey? Oh, I am revising the budget for Sweet Bits with Talia on board. I’ll be able to add back some of the popular items to our menu, and thanks to Bill, I will be able to actually pay my new employee

I didn’t know that was an issue. , but I’m certainly happy that you can. Hi, Talia. Uh, this is my mother, Paul Price. Mama. This is my new employee, Talia. Oh, I am so sorry. I forgot your last name. I, I know it was on the application. Oh, it’s Hunter. Hunter? Mm-hmm. . Any relation to Detective Jada Hunter? Yeah, she’s my sister.

You know her? No, but I do know of her. My partner arrested me once.

I just don’t get it. She spent all those years in medical school just to become a baker. She’s trying to change her life, pursue her dream. Her dream was to become a doctor and she pursued that dream with a vengeance. Totally driven. Little Miss Overachiever. You heard the way she corrected me about where she graduated at Stanford.

I mean, who does that if they’re not proud of their. Well, it’s certainly something to be proud of. Exactly, but I know better than to try to sit her down and set her straight. It’d be a complete waste of breath. I wanna hear that. I mean, Garo and Gabby, they have made some curious choices over the years, despite my excellent advice.

Must be hard being right outta the time. Mm-hmm. , . And also being the older sibling, you know, we were born to be, um, ignored, disrespected, and resented, but we love those disrespectful, recent, resentful, young ones anyway, don’t we? Dearly . Yes, we do. And we will never stop trying to rescue them from themselves.

Damn right. We won’t.

Hey, will you put that omelet in a container for me? I want to eat it later, but I don’t wanna be late. Wow. Saxtons is about to be deluged with women who wanna look exactly the way you do now. I told you to tone it down on the flattery. Well, why are you dressed up? You don’t think you’re coming with me, do you?

Well, I, I I was the go-between. I, I I’m the one who told them to snatch you up. Yeah, but it’s my pitch. I can do it myself. I don’t need help with that. They are expecting both of us. That’s fine. I can just tell ’em that you’re Stephan called.

I dunno what my problem is. His name’s Lee Shin.

He just told me that Gabby was too busy to talk because she’s headed to some important business meeting, and I’m sure that creep made the whole thing up as another ploy to keep us apart. Well, maybe it wasn’t made up. What do you mean? Word on the street is Saxon’s, maybe partnering with Gabby on a new fashion line.

Word on the street. Well, yeah, I hear things at Basic Black, that’s part of my job. Well, if that were true, Gabby would’ve told me about it, and I would’ve heard first.

I can’t speak to Gabby’s willingness to share information, but if I were to guess what’s going on here, it sounds like Lee is trying to get her interested in a new business opportunity. So she loses interest in his DEMIRA shares and by extension, You. No way that’s gonna happen. Gabby loves me and she wants nothing more than to be back together.

No, Wakely distract her by waving some shiny new business opportunity in front of her face. But if she gives in to her feelings for you, she could lose her mirror shacks. How do you know about that?

You wanna ride to the station? Sure. We can talk about what a bummer it is, being the older sibling. And you can tell me what you and Talia were talking about when I walked up. I mean, it’s none of my business. It’s just what? Hmm hmm. Oh, just the look on your face is when I came. Nevermind. Oh, you know, it, it’s Sean.

Uh, you know, we’ve been trading info on the case we have, so I should probably take this. You you go ahead. I’ll drive myself. Hunter.

So you never went to culinary school? No, um, actually I had a different focus, but baking is just something I know. Do you also know that you’re talking to a couple of criminal. You think you’ve won, don’t you? Oh honey, we know we have. Well, you are wrong. I am not giving up on making YouTube bitches pay for what you’ve done.

Look, I don’t know what your problem is, but you can’t just talk to them like that. They’re my problem. This one’s a murderer and this one covered it up. Your lawyer may have pulled a rabbit out of her. But you are not off the hook. You listen to me, Sloan Peterson, you have lost and you will keep on losing and losing.

So how about you’ll find something better to do with your time than trying to hurt me and my family trying to drag us a court to satisfy your sick need for revenge. When my daughter and I, we have done nothing wrong. Do you hear me? Maybe. Maybe I don’t need court to get my revenge. Ever thinking that,

so Stephan called and you didn’t think to tell me. You saw the notification before I had a chance. Uh, it was a very brief call. He asked for you and I said you were getting ready for a meeting. Needed to stay focused. Lee, I don’t need a secretary, nor do I need you answering my phone without my permission.

Well, I I, I’m sorry. I, I just, I wasn’t thinking, uh, why don’t you call him back now if you like. I mean, it might make us late for the meeting at Saxon’s, but. We can probably make up the time on the break. No, I don’t wanna be late and there’s no, we okay. It’s just me remember. Fine. Um, the only thing is they’re expecting me to, and I wouldn’t want them wondering why I didn’t show up.

That would be an unnecessary distraction, and I wouldn’t want to spoil your pitch before you even get to make it.

You’re driving.

Oh. Uh, Lee’s little sister, Wendy, she mentioned something about her morals clause in their, uh, marriage contract. Wow. Surprise Lee would share that information with her and that she would just impart that knowledge onto. Well, no one’s ever accused Wendy of discretion. Look, I’m sorry if I spoke out of tone.

I didn’t know that this clause was on a need to know basis. Either way, I, I, I don’t envy you, Stephan. It certainly is a very tricky situation. It is indeed. He’s watching us like a hawk waiting for me and Gabby to give into feelings for one another, and I, I can’t figure out a way.

Well, Stephan, maybe I can help you. How? Well, maybe, um, yeah, I can arrange for you and Gabby to meet privately. I mean, after all, Lee’s not watching.

It’s a very kind offer. What can I say? I’m, I’m a romantic at heart, and I just, I really want you and Gabby to be happy together, and since you two boys have made peace, I’m on your side as much as EJ is.

That’d be amazing. Thank you. Of course. But I, I’ll, uh, I’ll get to work and. I’ll let you know as soon as I come up with something. I’m very grateful, Nicole, and I know Gabby will be too.

Well done Oscar worthy. Now I was just following the plan. Now all we need is for Lee to catch Ste and Gabby and the act and it’s by by shares. Gabriela earned controlled D mirror. Let’s just hope Stefan makes it worth it.

Update written by Joseph

Paulina walks through the town square and greets Chanel at the Bakery. Paulina sees that Chanel is removing the “Help Wanted” sign from the bakery and starts talking about how she’s sorry she had to put her foot down but reminds Chanel that the court won’t let her hire anyone. Chanel then stops her and reveals that she already did hire someone.

Jada and her sister Talia have breakfast at the Brady Pub. Jada praises the muffins while Talia is unsure, feeling they could use brown sugar and caramel. Talia comments that she still can’t believe Jada gets to roll out of bed and have breakfast like this waiting downstairs. Jada tells Talia not to get too used to it, reminding her that now that she has a job, she will have to get her own place. Jada jokes that she doesn’t plan on sharing her bed with her little sister forever. Talia then questions why not, remarking that it’s not like she’s sharing it with anybody else.

Rafe goes to the DiMera Mansion. Stefan answers the door and questions why he’s making a house call. Rafe says he comes with documents and notes that he still thinks Stefan is making a mistake, but if he wants to drop the charges against Brady and Eric, then he will have to sign on the dotted line. Stefan confirms that he does and invites Rafe in. Stefan says it’s not like he enjoyed being kidnapped and worked over by a mad scientist, but he can’t complain about the end result. Rafe says he made that clear. Stefan questions why the police commissioner found it necessary to run this errand in person. Rafe admits he’s not just here to have him sign the documents as he’s also here about his sister, Gabi.

Li is at home on the phone, saying they won’t regret taking this meeting with his wife. Li praises Gabi as she comes out of her room and he greets her.

Eric and Sloan kiss in bed. Sloan calls it a very enjoyable morning so far. Eric gets an alert on his phone which he explains is for if there’s any job openings for a photographer. Eric notes that his nights have been filled thanks to her but he needs to fill his daytime hours.

Nicole and EJ kiss in bed which EJ calls a lovely way to wake up. EJ says he slept better than he has in a long time. Nicole jokes that not having a drug induced hangover probably helped. Nicole adds that maybe it also helped that he and Stefan finally sat down to hash everything out. EJ informs her that there’s a bit more to the story about that. Nicole asks him to fill her in. EJ confirms that they hashed things out, but that doesn’t mean everything is settled as it’s far from it. EJ reveals that Stefan may not know it, but he’s as committed as he ever was to taking Stefan down.

Nicole tells Eric to stop the alert and job search. Eric responds that he needs a job. Sloan says she gets that, but not just any job, noting that he’s incredibly talented and a wonderful photographer. Sloan suggests Eric should be his own boss and open up his own gallery.

Nicole tells EJ that she doesn’t understand. EJ says he said all the right things but he had his fingers crossed behind his back and he’s sure Stefan did too. EJ adds that Stefan still wants what he’s always wanted and that’s Li out of the way, Gabi in his life, and the two of them running DiMera which he is not going to allow to happen, so he has to stop Stefan and Gabi from teaming up to oust him. EJ declares that he will stop that by forming his own team, which he’s already done, with Li Shin.

Li finishes his call and asks Gabi how much she heard. Gabi says she heard his comments about her which Li calls all sincere. Li asks if Gabi wants the deal to go through with her fashion line. Gabi complains that she hadn’t even agreed to go to the store but he’s already setting it up. Li remarks that she seemed intrigued enough last night since she took all the paperwork to bed. Gabi says she was curious but that doesn’t mean she’s ready to make a deal. Li calls it just an initial meeting and assures no one is going to rush her in to anything. Li wants Gabi to have an outlet for her incredible creativity. Li adds that if he’s being too pushy, he can always call back and cancel the meeting.

Rafe assumes that Gabi living with Li bugs the hell out of Stefan as much as it does him. Stefan admits he hates it a lot. Rafe admits he doesn’t know all the details of their arrangement considering Gabi stopped confiding him since she knows how he feels about Li. Stefan asks how that compares to how he feels about him. Rafe states that Li makes Stefan look good, so he hopes Stefan hasn’t given up on getting Gabi away from Li. Stefan assures that he’s never giving up on that. Rafe advises Stefan to be careful since Li already tried to pull the plug on him once and he doesn’t like competition. Stefan responds that he is no competition because he’s going to blow that son of a bitch out of the water.

Eric questions Sloan thinking he should open a gallery. Sloan informs him that while she was having trouble sleeping last night, she went through his portfolio for an hour and sees that he would have no trouble filling a gallery’s walls, especially with the photos he took in Africa. Eric insists that he needs a job. Sloan thinks he needs to take charge of his career. Eric appreciates her support, but reminds her that it takes money to buy the supplies and the space for a gallery, so he questions how he’s supposed to find that. Sloan responds that she has the perfect place and it’s called Sweet Bits Bakery.

Chanel informs Paulina that she hired Talia and she’s perfect for Sweet Bits. Paulina complains that Chanel is forgetting that they can’t start throwing money around since every cent they spend is being watched by the court. Chanel can’t believe Sloan got the judge to sign off on a plan like this. Chanel asks if Belle is working on getting the freeze on their accounts reversed. Paulina assures that Belle is trying and hoping to get the case dismissed, but they have to be realistic. Chanel argues that she can’t run a bakery without any help, so she needs to lock Talia down before she loses her. Chanel adds that Talia worked at one of the most successful bakeries in New York City, so she has to offer her a competitive salary or someone else is going to snap her up in no time. Paulina guesses that she needs to win the lottery then.

Jada questions Talia giving her grief about her love life. Talia says she was just joking and says she’s too sensitive. Talia points out that she’s not with anyone either and calls them independent women who do just fine on their own. Jada agrees and toasts to them both flying solo. Talia then asks Jada how long it’s been since she was not flying solo. Jada thought they were dropping the subject. Talia accepts that it’s none of her business. Jada decides she has nothing to hide and informs Talia that she broke up with someone a few months ago. Talia calls that a long time compared to her break up being pretty recent. Jada assures that she’s fine. Talia asks if there’s at least someone new on the horizon. Rafe then enters the Pub.

EJ explains to Nicole that after he and Stefan got honest with each other, he invited Li over to tell him that he’s willing to join forces, so now Li knows he fully supports him getting back with Gabi and is willing to do whatever it takes to help make that happen. Nicole asks what he told Li happened between he and Stefan. EJ assures he told him nothing that he can use against him and Li only knows what he wants him to hear. EJ adds that Li only heard what he wanted to hear anyway and says he’s cooked up a wonderful distraction for Gabi that she might just fall for.

Gabi tells Li not to cancel the meeting since it won’t look good to bail now. Gabi agrees to go and see what happens. Li encourages that she will impress the hell out of everyone and they’ll all forget about Gabi Chic and will be blown away by her new designs. Gabi says he can dial down the flattery because she knows how good she is. Gabi decides she will go get ready for the meeting. Li says he will too and then he’ll make her a breakfast to remember.

EJ explains to Nicole that Gabi will have her new fashion line in department stores, so while Stefan will be sneaking around trying to steal a few moments with Gabi, she will be sleeping just a few feet from the man who will have revived the artistic side of her career. Nicole points out that Gabi is in love with Stefan and she mourned him for years, so she won’t be able to stay away from him. EJ says that’s where things get interesting as he informs Nicole of the contract that Gabi must stay in the marriage for six months to get Li’s DiMera shares, but only if she remains faithful. EJ feels he could take advantage of that. Nicole worries that EJ is playing a dangerous game and asks what if Stefan finds out what he’s doing behind his back. EJ responds that he likes taking risks and calls that the fun in life. Nicole feels it depends on the risk. EJ jokes that getting involved with someone romantically is a risk, since one could get their heart broken, but it’s still definitely fun which Nicole agrees with. Nicole says it’s definitely worth the risk as they kiss.

Stefan looks at a photo of Gabi on his phone and then goes to her number.

Li starts getting dressed in front of Gabi, so she questions what the hell he’s doing. Li reminds her that the living room is his bedroom, unless she wants to change their sleeping arrangements and let him in to her bedroom. Gabi says nice try and decides to go get ready herself. Gabi tells Li what she wants for breakfast as she heads to her bedroom. Gabi left her phone behind as Stefan calls. Li answers the phone. Stefan questions what the hell he is doing answering Gabi’s phone.

Eric questions Sloan telling him that Sweet Bits is going out of business. Sloan says that Paulina and Chanel might not know it yet, but once she wins her case, that space will belong to her. She asks what better use for it than Eric’s gallery. Eric asks if she’s sure about this being a good idea. Sloan gets that he doesn’t want to take business away from Chanel, but says that’s her job and she’s really looking forward to doing it. Sloan says that Eric will just benefit and with the cash she wins from the case, she could even be an investor too. Sloan encourages Eric to say yes as they kiss until her phone rings. Sloan answers the call and is shocked by what she hears.

Chanel complains to Paulina that she hates this never ending war with Sloan. Paulina says she does too but it is war, so they have to think strategically. Paulina worries that if Chanel hires Talia, it will look like she’s trying to put one over on the court and the judge will penalize her, then Sloan wins. Paulina gets a call from Belle, who tells her some surprising news. Chanel questions what she said. Paulina responds that she doesn’t know what they are going to do with all this free time as she announces that Belle got the case thrown out. Chanel can’t believe it as Paulina tells her that their longshot came through. Paulina declares that they are free of that witch at last as they hug.

Rafe greets Jada and Talia. Rafe asks if Talia is enjoying her time in Salem so far. Talia jokes that she was until about 20 minutes ago when Jada said she was cramping her style and needed to move out. Jada tells Rafe to ignore her. Rafe aks what they were talking about when he walked in as it seemed kind of intense. Talia says it’s funny he asks but Jada interrupts and reminds her that she has to get to work. Talia talks about having to get used to early morning shifts now that she’s going to be a baker. Jada questions Talia working at a bakery. Talia confirms her job is at Sweet Bits in the town square and asks if she knows it. Rafe asks what’s wrong with that and says they have the best donuts in town. Jada questions what is going on and why Talia would work as a baker. Talia asks what’s wrong with bakers. Jada says nothing but points out that is not Talia’s chosen field. Rafe questions what he’s missing. Jada informs him that Talia is not a baker and reveals that she’s a doctor! Rafe is surprised as Talia confirms she has a medical degree. Jada points out that she graduated from Stanford in the top five percent of her class. Jada questions how working as a baker is using any of her talents. Talia argues that she’s a very talented baker. Jada says when Talia got a job, she assumed it was at the hospital and that her dream was always to follow their dad’s footsteps. Talia clarifies that it was only their dad’s dream for her to follow him in to medicine but that doesn’t make it her dream. Jada points out that she worked so hard and questions who walks away from a career like that. Talia says she does and that she doesn’t want to be late, so she says bye to Rafe and Jada as she then exits the Pub. Jada wonders if Chanel knows how overqualified her new baker is.

Chanel tells Paulina that this means she can hire Talia and doesn’t have to fire her which Paulina encourages. Chanel says they owe Belle big time. Paulina agrees and exclaims that Belle left Sloan in the dust. Paulina wonders how Sloan is taking it.

Sloan begins throwing things in her apartment. Eric gets up and tries to encourage her that it’s going to be okay. Sloan complains that everything relied on that lawsuit and it’s over. Sloan cries that Paulina and Chanel are murderers and they’ve won again. Eric reminds her that it was just a civil case so no one was going to prison and she has money. Sloan shouts that it was never about money as they tore her family apart and they just keep getting away with it. Sloan screams that everybody loves Paulina and Chanel except her and refuses to forget about her mother being pushed off a roof to her death as she breaks down crying. Eric tells her that he’s sorry and assures that he’s on her side. Sloan cries that this lawsuit was her last shot at justice for her mom as Eric hugs her.

Li asks Stefan if he can help him. Stefan tells him to give Gabi her phone back. Li says he’s afraid that his wife is a little busy and doesn’t have time for chit chat as she’s getting dressed for a very important meeting which Stefan questions. Li is sure Gabi will tell him if she thinks it’s any of his business, but it’s not his place. Stefan warns him that the clock is ticking on his six months while Li warns that he knows what will happen if Stefan keeps calling or if he somehow tempts Gabi in to some secret rendezvous. Stefan asks if the thought of that scares him to death. Li says it should scare Gabi since if she fails to resist him, she’ll lose all those DiMera shares and have Stefan to thank for it because he couldn’t keep it in his pants. Li tells Stefan to do himself and Gabi a favor and stay away from her as he then hangs up on him. Stefan throws his phone out of the room in frustration as EJ and Nicole enter. EJ asks Stefan if there’s a problem.

Paulina calls Belle back and thanks her for all of her hard work, saying she doesn’t know how much this means to her and Chanel and that they are eternally grateful. Paulina hangs up as Chanel begins revising the budget for Sweet Bits and says she can bring back some popular items and she’ll actually be able to pay her new employee. Talia then walks up and says she didn’t know that was an issue but she’s glad she will be able to. Chanel greets Talia and introduces her to Paulina. Paulina notes Talia’s last name of Hunter and asks if she has any relation to Jada. Talia confirms that is her sister and asks if she knows her. Paulina says no but she knows of her because her partner arrested her once.

Jada tells Rafe that she doesn’t get it since Talia spent all those years in medical school just to become a baker. Rafe suggests she’s changing her life and following her dream while Jada argues that Talia’s dream was to become a doctor which she pursued with a vengeance. Jada knows trying to set Talia straight would be a waste of breath. Rafe relates to that with trying to advise his siblings over the years. They agree that they love their younger siblings and they will never stop trying to rescue them from themselves.

Gabi gets ready to go then questions why Li is dressed up and if he thought he was going with her. Li points out that he was the go-between that set this up. Gabi argues that it’s her pitch and she doesn’t need help with that. Li confirms they are expecting both of them. Gabi starts to say she can just tell them something but then she sees on her phone that Stefan called which she questions.

Stefan informs EJ and Nicole that his problem is named Li Shin, who just told him that Gabi is too busy to talk because she’s headed to some important business meeting. Stefan says he’s sure Li made the whole thing up as another ploy to keep them apart. Nicole suggests maybe it wasn’t made up since word on the street is Gabi may be partnering with stores for a new fashion line, noting that she hears things at Basic Black. Stefan argues that if that were true, Gabi would have told him about it and he would’ve heard first. EJ says he can’t speak to Gabi’s willingness to share information, but it sounds like Li is trying to get Gabi interested in a new business venture so that she loses interest in his DiMera shares and by extension, Stefan. Stefan says there’s no way that’s going to happen since Gabi loves him and she wants nothing more than to be back together. Stefan declares that there’s no way Li can distract her by shining some business opportunity in her face. EJ points out that if Gabi gives in to her feelings for Stefan, she could lose her DiMera shares. Stefan then questions how he knows about that.

Rafe offers Jada a ride to the police station which she accepts. Rafe brings up wondering what Jada and Talia were talking about when he walked in, noting the look on their faces when he came in. Jada then gets a call from Shawn and says they’ve been trading information on a case so Rafe can go ahead to the station as she answers the call.

Talia tells Paulina and Chanel that she never went to culinary school as she had a different focus, but baking is just something she knows. Sloan interrupts and asks if Talia also knows that she’s talking to a couple of criminals. Sloan guesses they think they’ve won. Paulina says they know they have. Sloan tells her that she’s wrong and that she hasn’t given up on making them pay. Talia tells Sloan that she doesn’t know what her problem is, but she can’t just talk to them like that. Sloan responds that they are her problem. Sloan calls Chanel a murderer and says Paulina covered it up. Sloan remarks that her lawyer may have pulled a rabbit out of the hat but she hasn’t won. Paulina tells Sloan that she has lost and will keep losing, so she suggests finding something better to do with her time than hurting her and her family. Paulina argues that she and Chanel have done nothing wrong. Sloan decides maybe she doesn’t need court to get her revenge and asks if they ever thought of that as she walks off.

Gabi questions Li not telling her that Stefan called. Li says she saw the notification before he had the chance. Li adds that it was a very brief conversation as Stefan asked for her but he told him that she was busy preparing for the meeting. Gabi complains that she doesn’t need a secretary or Li answering her phone without her permission. Li apologizes and says he wasn’t thinking. Li suggests she call Stefan back now if she’d like. Li notes that it might make them late for the meeting but they could probably make up the time. Gabi says she doesn’t want to be late and reminds him that it’s only her. Li points out that they are expecting him too, so he doesn’t want them wondering why he didn’t show up as that would be an unnecessary distraction. Li says he wouldn’t want to spoil her pitch before she even gets to make it. Gabi tells Li that he’s driving. Li smiles and follows her out.

Eric goes through some of his pictures and come across a photo of Nicole.

EJ claims to Stefan that Wendy mentioned the morals clause in their contract. Stefan is surprised that Li would confide that to Wendy and that Wendy would just share it with him. Nicole jokes that no one ever accused Wendy of discretion. EJ apologizes if he spoke out of turn and says he didn’t know the clause was on a need to know basis. EJ states that he doesn’t envy him as it certainly is a very tricky situation. Stefan complains that Li is watching them like a hawk, waiting for he and Gabi to give in to their feelings for each other and he can’t figure out a way around it. Nicole suggests maybe she could help by arranging for he and Gabi to meet privately, since Li’s not watching her. Stefan calls that a very kind offer. Nicole says she’s a romantic at heart and she really wants Stefan and Gabi to be happy together. Nicole adds that since Stefan and EJ have made peace, she’s on Stefan’s side as much as EJ is. Stefan agrees that would be amazing and thanks her. Nicole says she’ll get to work and let him know when she’s come up with something. Stefan tells her that he’s very grateful and he knows Gabi will be too. Nicole and EJ then exit the room. EJ praises Nicole, who says she was just following the plan. EJ declares that now they just need Li to catch them in the act and it’s bye bye to Gabi’s shares and control of DiMera. EJ hopes that Stefan makes it worth it.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

If it wasn’t Stefano, then who was the last person in that chamber? I never said it wasn’t Stefano, but you strongly implied it, and you said that you kept that person alive for over a decade and impressed his feet even for you. You are impressed. Well, we are women of science. Of course we are. Yeah. And I would think that you would be dying to tell people about your achievement.

So am might not share it with us. I mean, who are we going to tell you raise a good point. I suppose I wouldn’t her to brag a little about one of my great successes.

There’s no sense in drawing this out any longer. You might as well go ahead and kill her. No, no, no. You don’t wanna do that Megan. Call him off. Kate, you destroy the serum, but you see you to me now. I’ll do what you want. Just give me a second chance. No, Bo No. You know you don’t want to do it. Oh, I think he.

Actually, she’s right. Thank you. Oh, what are you doing? This could get messy. You don’t want blood all over the lab, do you? Ah, good point. How about to take this outside? Great idea. Kill her outside and then leave her to rot. Hmm.

Thank you so much, Andrew. I’ll be in touch.

The Isa granted visiting privileges for Harris. Michaels great. Let’s go. No, no, no. Hold on. You too. Should hit back to Salem. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You don’t want us to come along. John, this is something I need to do in my own.

I have brought people back from the dead, of course, but in this case, I think you will be awestruck as well as jubilant. When I tell you that’s a person in question is, look what we have here. I do hope I’m not interrupting anything. No, it’s fine. And just asking me questions about my new serum. Rolf was just telling us that you were planning to use it on Kate, like she’s some kind of Guinea pig.

Where is she? What have you done with her? Well, you don’t need to worry about those tests anymore. Kate refused to cooperate, so she’s gonna suffer a different trait now.

Okay. Megan’s gone. You know, you don’t have to follow her orders. You can, you can say that I got away, or the, the gun jams. I know you don’t wanna do this.

Move

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

Ah, Katie, will I ever hear from you again? What will it take to make you reach out?

Do I have to plot another murder?

Maybe I’m crazy. I just imagined it all.

Okay. That’s good. That’s good. I think this is a perfect place for you to die. Okay. Look, I, I, I don’t know what Megan stands to you. Oh, no, not about her. Okay, well that’s good because she’s crazy and you need to get the hell away from her bow. Elena, Kayla and I, we all know you. This is not you. So me the real blow.

See a sweetheart of a guy most of the time, but you are definitely not a stone cold assassin. Okay? Do you know how many people are going to beat overwhelmed by the fact that you’re so alive? You need to think about. Okay. Because you loved her, why would she think if she saw you like this?

Ms. Brady, welcome to Isa PSYOPs. Thank you, agent Rose and uh, Ms. We’re so honored to have you visit us. Agent Donovan called and said you were coming, but not to fango out. You and your late husband are kind of legends around here. That’s very flattering. Thank you. My condolence is on his death. Thank you.

You must still miss him every day. Commander Michaels is in here. Yes, right inside. May I please see? Of course.

We’re never getting out of this door. Now I wanna tell Megan comes back for us. What do you think she’s planning now? I mean, saying that Kate is going to suffer a different kind of fate. I, after all she’s been through, um, she did find a cure for the virus. She put us into a cryogenic state until she decides to wake us up, but she wanted to keep us alive for some reason.

Remember Ralph said that she was planning on using the serum on Kate. I don’t know. I think Megan’s new plan sounds ominous at best. Yeah. Do you think I’m overreacting? No, I don’t. I think we’re in a world of trouble here.

Do you think it might have been shortsighted for you to order bull to kill our test subject? How so? You can make a new serum, right? Yes, but it’ll take time. Fine. And we still have two women that we can test it on. Megan, don’t question me Wolf. Get to work very well

and no more procrastinating. It’s been months since Bo and I were reunited. We all the respect, you’ve already waited 40 years. And I don’t want to wait any longer than I have to.

Oh my God, it works. Bone. You’re conscious.

It’s me, Megan. Oh, what’s darling? I knew you would come back.

Can you say something, please?

What’s hope?

I literally brought that man back to life and all he could think about was her. Yes, you gave me quite an earful about it at the time. Why do you have luck? Megan, let me outta here. I have to fly my wife. Come on. I gotta find hope. Megan,

Ralph. Thank God. Last thing I remember I was in the park. I was dying in hopes. I have to get to her. As you can hear this must stop is you’ve taken me away from a very important project your brother Stephan did. I don’t care about that. Megan, I need you to make this stop. I cured more of his brain tumor.

And I need you to cure him of Hope Brady,

I did as you asked. Yes, but it didn’t turn out as I expected.

Why would I care what hope thinks? Because she’s your wife. Uh, correct me if I’m wrong, but ex-wife got a divorce. Okay, well, there’s the mother of another one of your exes whose heart she broke. I know all too well that hope was the one great love of your life and that you never got over it. Isn’t that true?

Oh, what a beautiful story. Okay. Time to die. Okay. Is at least, uh, take this. Take my wedding. So you can return it to Roman.

Sorry man. I know you’re closed. Not to you guys. Come on.

Right. What are you, uh, doing back to her? What’s going on? Did you find Megan? Well, not exactly bud. We got an. What’s going on? Your nephew, Andrew did us a real solid, let us access ISA records. So we found out where Megan went after she left Ruckus. We got there. It was too late. She’d already cleared out. So that was the end the line.

Maybe not. We went into Hope. Oh, yep. What was she doing? Same thing we were doing, I suppose. She has an idea that Harris Michaels might know something that could lead us to Megan. Well, if he does that, bastard’s never gonna tell. Maybe, maybe not. You see, when he was in Montreal, he indicated to hope that he thinks maybe he.

Was brainwashed by Megan, so if she used the same techniques on him that she used on us, he could be reachable. Kayla got through to me. Marla and Paul were able to reach John help figures. She gets a face-to-face with Michaels. She might have a breakthrough there also, but Harris never really loved hope, did he?

I guess we’ll see about that.

You got him locked down pretty tight with good reason. Commander Michaels has been quite uncooperative. I can’t say that surprises me. Advised arrangement after he sent the third agent to the hospital. Thank you. One of our top psychoanalysts Donovan’s wife. Has met with him several times, but he’s been highly resistant to treatment.

Yes. So I see. I’d like you to let me in there with him alone. Yes, Erin. It’s some privacy that would be inadvisable. As I said, he’s very dangerous. Yes, I understand an agent Rose, but I need to look him straight in the eye for this to. I can call Shane if you’d like. It won’t be necessary. I trust you. Thank you.

Here’s your panic button.

We’ll be right outside if you. Thank you agent.

Hello, hope.

It’s been a long time.

I had such high hopes at first.

What? What is happen? What, bro? What are you doing to me? Just relax. Bob. You’ve been through a little procedure. That’s all procedure. What kind of procedure on your brain just need to make sure that it’s worked?

How does that make you.

Ah, excellent. As I said, , the procedure worked exactly as intended. Yes. He no longer wanted hope, and he was loyal to me. He did everything I asked him to. But the spark between us, the the spark was gone.

What’s with the yearbook? Well, it’s our yearbook though. Don’t you remember? We are a voted best couple. Yeah, so well, we could be that happy again, . That was a long time ago, but the feelings can come back. I know they can.

He was supposed to love me. I warned you that a procedure could not create romantic feelings out of nothing. They’re not nothing. They’re just. Dormant. Now, this serum, this serum had better work as you promised when Megan’s said that Kate was going to suffer a different kind of fate. Now, do you think that she was just trying to scare us to get us to behave?

I mean, why would she kill Kate after she had gone through so much trouble to revive her? Well, she wouldn. And even if that were her intention, I, Katie was just, she’s resourceful and, and she’s able to talk her way out of any dire situation. I know she will. Here again, as I recall, you and Roman were over a long time ago.

Well, we got back together again recently and actually we got. On my deathbed, although it was the first time, you know, because I got sick and then I recovered and then I relapsed, and then apparently I died. And yet here I am. Which is pretty miraculous. Wouldn’t you say ? No, no. Ralph made it happen. Have Megan’s request.

Oh, well Ralph makes a lot of things happen, doesn’t he? Did you see I’m a survivor? You’re a survivor. Roman’s a survivor. Do you remember, do you remember saying goodbye to him on that beach when you thought he was dead? Because Roman loves me. If you kill his wife, he’s gonna be devastated. Is that what you want?

So you only think that hope can get through this Harris, my close guy. I mean, he might not know anything even if, uh, she gets in to talk and after the way he got the upper hand on both of you. Oh, hey, we were on Bush, man. Come on. That’s right. Hey, we’ve been prepared on that. Hey, relax. Okay. I’m not questioning your skills.

All right. I’m just worried about hope. The point is he is in ISA custody. It’s a highly controlled situation. We wanted to go with. , but she insisted she had to do this on her own and you know how damn headstrong she can be. Yeah. She almost got herself killed last time she got involved with this guy. I hope she’s being safe this time.

What are you doing here? Why would you even want to talk to me after everything I did to you and your family?

The last time we saw each other in Montreal, you said you thought Megan had done something to you, brainwash. You said that you wanted help. We got you that help Harris, but I’m confused because ever since then you have fought it every step of the way. Why is that? I was lying. I said whatever it took to mitigate that.

Punish. No, no, no. I don’t. I don’t believe you. If they were two, you’d still be keeping up with that. No, I think that you are still fully under a million’s control and why? It’s the reason why you wouldn’t open up to Kimberly, and that’s why I only see the real you when we’re alone. Harris, look at me, Harris.

I came all this way today.

Remind you of what we had. There was nothing between us. We had was a card. I was just playing you to get to the prisons just like you were playing me. No, it’s not true. Not in the beginning. I wasn’t. Here is something, something grew between us. Before I realized that you were after the prison, you said it yourself.

It’s the reason you couldn’t pull the trigger. When Megan had urged you to kill me, I said what you wanted to hear. Yeah, yeah, I know. To communicate your punishment. I heard you.

All right

then. Tell me this. Why? Why did Megan have to hire Thomas Banks? Put him up in the rafters to kill me? You could’ve killed me. You could’ve done it from two feet away. It’s a backup plan. Why am I still alive, Harris?

Because I failed. No,

because you succeeded. You succeeded. Aris, you stopped.

I am alive because of you.

You felt something for me.

You still do. It’s real. It is.

I.

What about you?

Do you feel something for me too?

Do you don’t hope is risking her life? Is it worth it, Roman? Megan’s out there somewhere behaving like a true Demir Stephanie’s daughter through and through who knows what she could be planning right now to hurt even more people we love. She’s still a threat. We need to stop her. Whatever it takes. As you recall, I made no promises, but if it works, This serum will allow you and Bo to go back again and start at the beginning.

It’s about time my flight was delayed from Jakarta and frankly, I’m not even sure why you summit me. I thought my work was done. Not quite. Although Bo has forgotten his feelings for hope, then what’s the problem? The problem is, That the spark between us, between bow and I is gone. And how do you suppose I can change that?

What are you asking me to do? I read an article in the Salem Spectator the other day about an orchid that seems to have magical healing properties and or could you grew in your lab before it disappeared? And what does that have to do with. I’m just wondering if you might be able to use it to help bow and me to turn back time.

Ah, you want to reverse the aging process? Oh, and I lost so much. And you think the orca could be your own personal fountain of youth? Almost as good as a time. Is it possible? I know you told the police that it’s gone, but I wonder if you might not know where I can get my hands on it. Actually, I do.

When we’re young, again, like when we first met, I know he’ll love. Instead of just following my orders like a loyal soldier, you know, he has never once questioned what I’ve asked him to do or why.

No one knew he was in Salem. They all still think he’s dead and they’ll never know otherwise. Come on, we’re Homan thinks you’re dead. I pull this trigger. We’ll make a damn bit of difference to him. I know, because eventually he will find out what you. I guess the truth always comes out, doesn’t it? Both. I don’t really care if the truth comes out.

I don’t care about Roman. You know? I don’t believe that. I really don’t. I mean, I think that you’re lying to yourself because I think everything that I’ve said to you deep down has struck a chord with the real vore who is devoted to his family, who adores his sisters, Kimberly and Kayla and his brother Roman, and his children and his grand children.

Sean, Douglas, Sierra, Zach, Claire, Chelsea. I mean, you could forget about Chelsea, your daughter. With my Billy. I mean, I can see you trying to deny that you have feelings for hope, even for Roman, because certainly those relationships are fraught. They, they’re complicated. There’s not a baggage there. But the parents love for their child.

That is pure, that is unshakable, even in the worst of circumstances. So you see Chelsea is my flesh and blood. Blood. You wanna see blood? I’ll show you blood. Listen to me. You are not going to break Chelsea’s heart by killing her grandmother. You and I. That you are not going to pull that trigger. You know that I will only to shut you up.

So you were together for a whole year. When you kissed me, I felt something that wasn’t just part of the game.

Come on hope. I want the. Okay. The truth,

as much as I wanted to stay disconnected, there were moments I thought something,

okay, I admitted it. I can, I can you Can you admit?

Or maybe, um,

Me just think about what Megan was willing to do to get revenge on hope. Yeah, on a pure spine. Well, just because Bo lived another woman, it’s not like she could have ’em anyway. Now. and if she has succeeded in getting hope out of the way. Yeah, I still can’t believe it. I mean, Megan Hathaway is still alive and our wives are damnit.

You know what guys? I mean, sometimes I feel like I’m going crazy. I mean, I, I tell people, you know that Kate is talking to me from the great beyond

through an.

So have you picked up on anything from her lately? Now she’s gone silent and that’s what makes me wonder. I mean, did I. Did I imagine that Paulina herd of two?

I saw Kayla. She came to me. John, what about you? What about you? Did anything like that happen to you? Did you ever hear from Martin Le?

I haven’t heard anything at all from Doc. I thought appealing to to Ralph’s ego might get us somewhere. It was getting us somewhere. I’m sure that he was about to tell us who was in that fourth chamber when Megan walked in. Not that it even matters now. But it might because if somebody had been in there and they got away, maybe if they’re friendly, they was able to come back, they could help us escape.

You don’t think My relationship with Chelsea was complicated. She’s responsible for the death of one of my kids. I know, and you got past that because of your love hurt. Both, you know, Chelsea and Max London now because they’re, they’re so happy. Bella and Shawn are happy. Sierra and Sierra and Banner sailing around the world just like you would hope to, but you know who’s not happy?

Hope hope’s miserable because she, because she misses. And you could, you could fix that. You have another chance. I, there’s no fixing that. It was over a decade ago. Let’s see. So you’re just, what? You’re just meeting’s lap dog now. So some may think it’s selfish of me to keep them all to myself, but I brought him back to life.

And I’ve loved him faithfully all these years. , which is more than anyone else can say, I deserve this. I deserve him.

Dr. Marlena, Evan. Dead virus claims. Third victim. I had no idea that you get sick again, sorry ladies,

but I needed this beauty for myself.

Oh, hey, what are you doing?

What are these women doing here? Oh, they’re here for us though. You see, with their help, you and I are gonna get back all the time that we lost and finally live halfway ever after.

When you got here a few weeks ago, Ralph, I gave you this facility and the plant continues to thrive. You can make limitless amounts of the serum. Quantity is not the issue. Assuming every single is just planned. When the testing process is complete and we are able to administer it, foe and I will be young again and we can start all over from the.

This time he’ll stay and he’ll love me forever and ever and hope will go off of some other poor stop.

Do not try to play me again.

You know, I can stamp your neck in an instant. You could, but you won’t. You can’t. Any more than he could bring yourself to pull the trigger. God, I went into yours.

You’re making sweet just like I was. You still are. Do you want that woman to get away with everything she’s done?

Like you give it down what happens to me? I do.

Course I Care. Harris, we’re not our only victims.

She kill my sister-in-law, Kayla and her brother, Roman’s wife, Kate Roberts, and hi. John Black’s wife. She’s, she’s killed a lot of people I love and care her about greatly.

Why should that matter to me? Because you were so much more than a trained assassin. You are a Navy hero. Before Megan got ahold of you, you were a good man. You were an honorable man, a good and honorable. You forget the fact that I killed two men. That wasn’t you. That wasn’t you. Doesn’t change the fact that that was the brainwashing Harris, you have the chance, the opportunity to get your life back.

To get back what’s real.

Don’t you want that? I wanna help you. Let me, let me help you and then you can help me make sure that Megan never hurts anyone ever again.

I, them, I don’t, I don’t care what Megan did,

didn’t do it for me. Harris,

do it from me.

Good coffee man. We’ll let you know if we hear anything from Hope. Hang here to Roman. Yes, you too.

Damn. A hell of a wind man. Looks like uh, we’re in for storms. Yeah, that’s what they say. Okay. You guys be careful out there. Yeah. All right.

You okay? Oh yeah. Quiet time’s the hardest, I guess. I keep trying to reach out somehow to John and my family. Have to know how much I love them. Oh, I end up picturing in there the pain. Hello. I remember how I breathed for Steve when I thought I’d lost him, went on for years. And to think about our families going through that, well motivate us to get out of here.

That’s what it’s

don’t.

Ms. Brady, is everything all right? Yes, everything is. Perfect. In fact, manager Michaels has agreed to another session with Dr. Brady Donovan and I have a feeling that, uh, he’s gonna be a lot more cooperative this time around.

No, I mean, nobody’s lap dog really. That’s not what it. Like to me, I mean, this is Megan’s idea. This was in your idea. Take her outside and, and, and kill her. Now, I don’t know. It, to me, you just look like a glorified Aaron boy, I pray you’re right. You know as well as anybody that we have to keep our faith right now.

We are going to get out of here. The two of us and Kate, so you think this is the best time to insult me? , I, I, I don’t know. I. It’s just that I’m surprised. I’m really surprised. I wouldn’t think that you would fall in with a two bit wannabe Ste like, Megan, stop, stop, stop. Or what? I mean, you’re gonna shoot me because that’s what Megan expects you to do.

I, I don’t know. I don’t understand where is the boat that, that I knew that was a rebel that would’ve come in here and would’ve blown off this whole lap and taken off on his motorcycle without ever bothering to look back at the flames. I mean, this is not an action movie. This is real life, my life. And yours for the next few seconds anyway.

Fine. That’s fine. I, I just never expected to see you go out this way. I mean, how many times did you take down Megan’s old man I, that though Brady, I did not follow orders, did hated anyone to tell him what to do. That Bo. Right now we think that you’re disgusting that you’re doing something just because someone ordered you to do it.

Someone, my, the likes of Megan’s Hathaway. How about Chris? I want you dead. Do you? Do you really? Because if you do, Pull that trigger. Shoot me.

Did you hear that the deed is done. I heard now you need to get back to work and make some more of that serum so we can test her Marlena and. And if it works, then it had better control. And I will be young and in love, and we will finally have our happily ever after. Ah, it’s done. I know. I heard the gunshot.

I’m very proud of you though. Okay, now look, I’ve got something else that I need for you. I don’t give a damn what you need. I don’t take orders from you, lady. It’s over.

Days of Our Lives Update

Days of Our Lives logo

Update written by Joseph

Kayla asks Dr. Rolf who was in the cryogenic chamber if it wasn’t Stefano. Rolf responds that he never said it wasn’t Stefano. Kayla brings up that he said he kept this person alive for a decade. Marlena and Kayla pretend to be impressed and encourage Dr. Rolf to share his achievement. He admits there might not be harm in bragging about one of his greatest successes.

Megan declares there’s no point in dragging this out any further and instructs Bo to go ahead and kill Kate. Kate tells Bo that he doesn’t want to do that and tells Megan to call him off. Megan points out that Kate destroyed the serum so she has no use to her at all. Kate asks for a second chance and pleads with Bo. Megan thinks Bo does want to do it but Bo says that Kate is right. Megan questions what he’s doing. Bo points out that it could get messy and she wouldn’t want blood all over the lab. Bo suggests taking this outside which Megan calls a great idea. Megan instructs Bo to kill Kate outside and to then leave her to rot.

Hope finishes her call with Andrew, thanking him and says she’ll be in touch. Hope hangs up and informs John and Steve that ISA granted visiting access to Harris Michaels. Steve wants to go but Hope says they should go back to Salem. John questions her not wanting to come with her. Hope calls this something that she needs to do on her own. Hope looks up Harris Michaels on her tablet.

Dr. Rolf says he has brought people back from the dead, but in this case, they would be awestruck and jubilant when he tells them who it was. Megan interrupts. Dr. Rolf says they were just asking questions about his new serum. Kayla and Marlena question Megan about Kate. Megan informs them that Kate refused to cooperate so she is going to suffer a different fate now.

Kate tells Bo that Megan is gone now so he doesn’t have to follow her orders anymore. Kate argues that they can say she got away or that the gun jammed because he doesn’t want to do this. Bo keeps his gun aimed at her and walks her out of the lab.

Hours later, Roman is at the Brady Pub with Kate’s urn, wondering if he will ever hear from Kate again and what it will take to make he reach out. Roman questions if he has to plot another murder. Roman decides maybe he’s crazy and just imagined it all. Roman then closes the Pub for the night.

Bo walks Kate outside and declares this is a perfect place for her to die. Kate doesn’t know what Megan did to him and calls her crazy, saying he needs to get away from her. Kate says she, Marlena, and Kayla all know that this is not Bo. Kate argues that Bo is not a stone cold assassin. Kate tells Bo of how many people will be overwhelmed by the fact that he’s still alive. Kate urges him to think about Hope and asks what Hope would think if she saw him like this.

At an ISA Facility in Frederick, Maryland, Hope meets Agent Rose. She tells Hope that they are honored and notes that Hope and Bo are legends around here which Hope calls flattering. Rose gives her condolences on Bo’s death and says Hope must still miss him. Hope confirms that she does every day and then asks to be taken to see Harris Michaels which they then go to do.

Kayla complains that she and Marlena are never getting out now. Kayla wonders what Megan is planning now by saying Kate is going to suffer a different kind of fate. Marlena talks about Megan finding a cure for the virus and putting them in a cryogenic state. Kayla wonders why Megan wanted to keep them alive. Kayla worries that Megan’s new plan sounds ominous at best. Marlena agrees that they are in a world of trouble here.

Megan brings Dr. Rolf back to the lab. Dr. Rolf thinks it was short sighted for her to order Bo to kill their test subject. Megan orders him to make a new serum which Dr. Rolf says will take some time. Megan points out that they still have two women they can test it on and tells him not to question her. Megan orders Dr. Rolf to get to work and not procrastinate. Dr. Rolf points out that she’s already waited 40 years to be with Bo. Megan responds that she doesn’t want to wait any longer than she has to. Megan flashes back to last July, when Bo first regained consciousness inside of the cryogenic chamber and his first words were asking “where’s Hope?” Megan then complains about how she literally brought Bo back to life and all he could think about was Hope. Dr. Rolf remembers Megan giving him quite an earful about it at the time as they flash back to Bo wanting to escape to find Hope and Megan ordering Dr. Rolf to cure Bo of Hope. Dr. Rolf states that he did as Megan asked. Megan admits that it didn’t turn out as she expected.

Bo asks Kate why he would care what Hope thinks. Kate states that Hope is his wife. Bo recalls that they were divorced. Kate insists that Hope was the one great love of Bo’s life and that he never got over it. Bo mocks that and says it’s time to die. Kate asks Bo to take her wedding ring so he can return it to Roman.

John and Steve join Roman at the Brady Pub. Roman questions what they are doing back so early, what’s going on, and if they found Megan. They say not exactly but they have a lead. They explain that Andrew got them ISA access and they were able to track where Megan went to but they were too late and she was already gone. John then reveals they ran in to Hope, who was also looking for Megan, and she has an idea that Harris Michaels might be able to tell them something about where Megan is. Roman feels if Harris knows anything, he’ll never tell. John reveals that Harris told Hope that he thought maybe he was brainwashed by Megan too, so maybe Hope could get through to him. Roman questions if Harris ever really loved Hope. Steve guesses they will see about that.

Hope comments on Harris being locked down pretty tight. Agent Rose informs Hope that Harris has been quite uncooperative and sent agents to the hospital while he’s been highly resistant to treatment. Hope wants to be let in to the room alone with Harris because she needs some privacy. Rose warns that Harris is very dangerous. Hope insists that she needs to look him straight in the eye for this to work. Agent Rose gives Hope a panic button and says they’ll be right outside if she needs them as Hope then enters the room with Harris. Harris greets her and says it’s been a long time.

Megan tells Dr. Rolf that she had such high hopes at first. She flashes back to September after having Dr. Rolf brainwash Bo to get rid of his feelings for Hope. Dr. Rolf tells Megan that the procedure worked exactly as intended. Megan acknowledges that Bo no longer wanted Hope and he was loyal to her, but the spark between them was gone. Megan flashes back to trying to jog Bo’s memory by showing him their old yearbook where they were voted best couple. Megan told Bo that they could be that again and insisted the feelings could come back. Megan complains to Dr. Rolf that Bo was supposed to love her. Dr. Rolf argues that he warned her that he couldn’t create feelings of love out of nothing. Megan warns Dr. Rolf that this serum better work as promised.

Kayla wonders to Marlena if Megan was just trying to scare them and questions why she would kill Kate after going through so much trouble to revive her. Marlena says that Kate is resourceful and can talk her way out of any dire situation.

Bo tells Kate that as he recalls, she and Roman were over a long time ago. Kate informs him that she and Roman got back together and got married. Kate goes over how she apparently died and now she’s here. Bo guesses Dr. Rolf made it happen under Megan’s orders. Kate tells Bo that if he kills Roman’s wife, he will be devastated and asks if that’s what he wants.

Roman questions John and Steve thinking that Hope can get through to Harris Michaels. Roman worries that Harris might not know anything. John states that Harris is in ISA custody in a highly controlled situation. Steve adds that they wanted to go with Hope but she insisted on going alone. Roman worries that Hope almost got herself killed last time she was involved with Harris, so he hopes she’s being safe this time.

Harris questions why Hope is here and why she’d even want to talk to him after he almost killed her and her family. Hope brings up the last time they spoke, he said he thought Megan had brainwashed him so he was sent here for treatment but she questions why he’s fought against that every step of the way since. Harris claims he was lying and said whatever it took to get out of punishment. Hope doesn’t believe him since he’s not keeping up that lie now. Hope believes Harris is still fully under Megan’s control and that’s why he wouldn’t open up to Kimberly and she only sees the real him when they are alone. Hope tells Harris that she came all this way to remind him of what they had. Harris claims there was nothing between them and it was just a con. Harris says he was playing her to get the prism just like she was playing him. Hope says in the beginning, she wasn’t. Hope says there was something real between them before she found out about the prism which is why he couldn’t pull the trigger when Megan ordered him to kill her. Hope questions why Megan had to hire Thomas Banks to kill her. Harris calls that a backup plan. Hope asks Harris why she is still alive. Harris says it’s because he failed. Hope argues that he succeeded in stopping Megan. Hope declares that she’s alive because of him. Hope states that he felt something for her and he still does, insisting that she knows it’s real. Harris asks if she feels something for him too.

Roman tells John and Steve that Hope is risking her life and questions if it’s worth it. John responds that Megan is out there somewhere, behaving like a true DiMera, so who knows what she could be plotting to hurt even more people they love. Steve agrees that Megan is still a threat, so they need to stop her, whatever it takes.

Dr. Rolf tells Megan that he made no promises, but if this serum works, it will allow her and Bo to go back again and start from the beginning. They flash back to November when Megan summoned Dr. Rolf back to the lab where she asked him about the orchid with magical healing powers which she wondered if he could use to help her and Bo turn back time. Megan asked about reversing aging like a time machine and Dr. Rolf revealed to her that he knew where she could get the orchid. Back in the present, Megan tells Dr. Rolf that if they are young again, she knows he will love her again and not just follow her orders like a loyal soldier. Megan notes that Bo has never once questioned anything she’s had him do. Megan then reveals that she had Bo steal the orchid from the DiMera tunnels in December. Megan declares that nobody knew Bo was in Salem as they all think he’s dead and it’s going to stay that way.

Bo tells Kate that Roman already thinks she’s dead so if he pulls the trigger, it won’t make a difference to him. Kate disagrees, insisting that he will find out because the truth always comes out. Bo says he doesn’t care if the truth comes out or about Roman. Kate thinks he’s lying to himself and that she’s struck a chord with the real Bo, who is devoted to his family. Kate brings up Bo’s siblings and children’s names. Kate says she can see Bo deny his feelings for Hope and Roman, but a parent’s love for their child is pure and unshakable even in the worst circumstances. Kate brings up that his daughter Chelsea is her flesh and blood too. Kate argues that Bo won’t break Chelsea’s heart by killing her grandmother, so they know he won’t pull that trigger. Bo responds that he will, if only to shut her up.

Hope states that she and Harris were together for a whole year. Hope confirms that when he kissed her, she felt something. Harris asks if it wasn’t just part of the game and says he wants the truth. Hope admits that as much as she wanted to stay disconnected, there were moments where she felt something. Hope says that she admitted it and asks if he can do the same. Hope touches his arm and says maybe he needs her to remind him. Hope leans in to kiss Harris but he suddenly grabs her by the throat and stops her.

Steve and John tell Roman to think about what Megan did just for revenge on Hope. They argue that it’s not like Megan could have Bo no anyway. Roman can’t believe Megan Hathaway is still alive and not their wives. Roman says sometimes he feels like he’s going crazy since he told people that Kate was talking to him from the great beyond through an urn. John asks if he’s picked up anything from her lately. Roman says now she’s gone silent which makes him wonder if he imagined it. John points out that Paulina heard it too. Steve insists that he saw Kayla. Roman asks if anything like that happened to John or if he ever heard from Marlena. John confirms that he has not heard anything at all from her.

Marlena tells Kayla that she thought appealing to Dr. Rolf’s ego might get them somewhere. Kayla says it was and she’s sure that he was going to tell them who was in the other chamber until Megan interrupted but it won’t get them anywhere now. Marlena wonders if the person who was in the chamber got away, maybe they will come back to help them escape.

Bo asks Kate if she doesn’t think his relationship with Chelsea was complicated, pointing out that she was responsible for the death of another one of his kids. Kate encourages that he got past that. Kate talks about Chelsea and Max being happy in London now, Belle and Shawn are happy, and Ciara and Ben are sailing around the world just like Bo and Hope did. Kate adds that Hope is not happy, she’s miserable because she misses him and he could fix that. Kate encourages that he has another chance. Bo responds that there’s no fixing that since it was over decades ago. Kate questions if Bo is just Megan’s lapdog now.

Megan says some may think it’s selfish of her to keep Bo all to herself, but she brought him back to life and has loved him faithfully all these years which is more than anyone else can say so she deserves him. Megan flashes back to January where she read the article about Marlena, Kate, and Kayla’s deaths as she held on to the orchid and then to February, where Bo questioned what the three women were doing there. Megan told Bo that with their help, they would get back all the time they lost and finally live happily ever after. Back in the present, Megan reminds Dr. Rolf that she got him this lab and the orchid is thriving so he can make lots of the serum. Dr. Rolf talks about the time it will take while Megan declares that she and Bo will be young again, so they can start from the beginning. Megan declares that this time Bo will stay and love her forever while Hope will go off with some other poor sap.

Harris warns Hope not to play him again as he could snap her neck in an instant. Hope says she knows that he won’t just like he couldn’t pull the trigger on their wedding day. Hope argues that he is Megan’s victim, just like she was, and he still is. Hope asks if he wants Megan to get away with everything she’s done to him. Harris doesn’t believe that she gives a damn what happens to him but Hope insists that she does care. Hope adds that they are not Megan’s only victims, revealing that she killed her sister in law Kayla, Kayla’s brother Roman’s wife Kate, and John’s wife Marlena. Hope says that Megan has killed a lot of people she loves. Harris questions why that should matter to him. Hope argues that he is so much more than a trained assassin. Hope says he was a navy hero, a good and honorable man before Megan got a hold of him. Harris reminds her that he killed two men. Hope argues that it wasn’t him and blames the brainwashing but Harris says it doesn’t change the fact that they are dead. Hope encourages that Harris has the opportunity to get his life back and asks if he wants that. Hope says she wants to help him and then he can help her make sure that Megan never hurts anyone ever again. Harris responds that he doesn’t care about Megan. Hope asks him to do it for her then.

John and Steve tell Roman that they will let him know if they hear anything from Hope. They go to leave the Brady Pub and notice the wind has picked up. Roman notes that they must be in for a storm and warns John and Steve to be careful as they leave. Roman heads back inside the Pub and goes back to put Kate’s urn behind the bar.

Kayla asks if Marlena is okay. Marlena guesses quiet times are the hardest and keeps trying to reach out somehow to John and her family to let them know how much she loves them but all she ends up picturing is their pain. Kayla remembers how she grieved for Steve when she thought she had lost him for years and now thinks about their families going through that. Marlena calls that their motivation to get out of here.

John stands outside the Pub and hears Marlena’s voice telling him not to give up on her. John calls out to her but guesses it was just the wind and walks on.

Hope brings Harris out of his room and informs Agent Rose that Harris has agreed to another session with Dr. Brady-Donovan and she has a feeling that he’s going to be a lot more cooperative this time around.

Bo tells Kate that he’s nobody’s lapdog. Kate says that’s not what it seems like to her since this was Megan’s idea and not his. Kate says to her, he just looks like a glorified errand boy.

Marlena tells Kayla that they have to keep the faith that they are going to get out of here along with Kate.

Bo questions Kate thinking this is the best time to insult him. Kate says she’s just surprised that Bo would fall in with a wannabe Stefano like Megan. Bo tells her to stop. Kate questions if Bo is going to shoot her just because Megan told him to. Kate asks where the Bo is that she knew, that would’ve blown up the whole lab and taken off on his motorcycle without bothering to look back. Bo tells her that this is not an action movie, it’s real life. Kate tells him that she just never expected to see him go out this way. Kate brings up how many times Bo brought down Stefano and says that Bo didn’t take orders from anyone and would be disgusted by him. Bo declares that he wants Kate dead. Kate questions if he really does and tells him to go ahead and pull the trigger if he does.

Marlena and Kayla hear a gunshot.

Megan tells Dr. Rolf that the deed is done, so he needs to get back to work and make more of the serum so they can test it on Marlena and Kayla. Megan adds that if it works, she and Bo will be young and in love so they can finally have their happily ever after. Bo returns and informs Megan that it’s done. Megan says she heard the gunshot and she’s very proud of him. Megan tells Bo that she has something else that she needs, but Bo says he doesn’t give a damn because he doesn’t take orders from her. Bo tells her that it’s over and walks off.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Andrew. Hi Paul. If you’re looking for my dad, uh, he, he’s just left for the airport a few hours ago. Excuse me. Up with your uncle Steve. Yeah, I figured

so. What are you doing here?

I came to see you,

so, uh, vacuuming. Yeah, of course.

I think it worked.

I think you got it, man.

Hello ladies. Welcome back to the Land of the Living.

No. Freaking way.

Night. Night. Golden girl.

Is that you? Yeah. Uh, long time. No see.

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

Hey mom, it’s me. Um, can you gimme a call back when you get this? I, uh, what I’d like to hear from? Hello, am I glad to see you. Hey. Ugh. Long day. What was it ever? I’m just leading the courthouse. The jury wanted to stay and deliberate so they could come up with a verdict tonight, which they did. You, okay? Uh, yeah.

I just, I’m, I’m worried about my mom, why I can’t seem to reach her. I called her a bunch of times. I left a message and she hasn’t returned. I just tried again and went straight to voicemail. I’m sure she’s just, Yeah, I hope that’s all it is. Hope Brady. What the hell are you doing here? The same thing you are, I assume.

Looking for Megan Hathaway.

I just can’t believe this. Your life. Yep. How? I mean, it’s just, it’s so wonderful. But how

Megan, the prisons, right? I mean, So we assumed that she wanted the prisons because she wanted her father back, but she wanted you, she wanted to bring you back. Mm-hmm. , she succeeded. Look at me. So you’ve been in presentation the whole time? Yeah. You’ve been here while, I’m so sorry. I, I, but I’m thrilled. I’m thrilled because I ran into you.

She had me imprisoned here too. Really? Yeah. That’s just me. Marlena, your sister. Oh, Kayla. Yeah. Kayla. Kayla. Kayla’s here. And Marlena. I mean, it’s all, I have no idea why she did it, but Megan had all three of us here on ice against Star Wheels.

Oh, no,

I’m sorry. Are you going somewhere? I still can’t believe you’re alive. You know, wait to Kayla sees you. She’s gonna just die. She’s, but you know, she’s, of course she already did die, right? So did I. So did Marlene. It’s all. It’s crazy. Yeah. Look, we have to find them. We have to free them. And then all four of us are gonna get the hell out of here.

Right? Come on. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait. Um, we can’t do that.

My dad ran outta here pretty fast when he got that call. Yeah,

he said that Steve had a potential lead on the location of Megan Hathaway. I’m guessing that you gave that to him,

like I’m not asking you to tell me where she is. I just wanna know if you think they have a shot of finding her. Well, come on, man. I mean, we’re talking about the woman that murdered my stepmother. Your, your aunt and, and uncle. Your uncle Roman’s wife. I know, but it’s not my case. And even if it were, I’m not allowed to discuss anything related to top secret information.

Yeah, I get it, Paul. Believe me, I care about this too. It’s personal for both of us, for our families. And while I’m not allowed to disclose anything about the investigation, I can assure you that the ISA is doing everything in its power to get justice for these women. Do you trust me on that?

Good. Because I’d really like to talk about something other than Intel such. us.

I didn’t think, there wasn’t us . I mean, I was just telling my dad that you and I stopped talking to each other. Not that we, you know, had a falling out or anything. I mean, you know, I was just us living on opposite sides of the country. Trying to build a relationship like that is, it’s pretty difficult. And, you know, top of that to my, my coaching schedule and your caseload and, and we just didn’t seem to figure out logistics.

I know, I remember. They, the thing is I’ve missed you.

I missed you too.

Well, did something happen? I mean, do you have some reason to believe your mom’s in trouble? No. No, it’s nothing like that. I’m just frustrated that I can’t get ahold of her. Um, you know, I want coming up there on the Megan Hathaway case. Yeah. Her possible connection to my mother’s death. God, I just can’t believe that this woman that I, I’ve never met, that everyone thought died like 40 years ago.

Come in and upend all of our lives and just cause so much sorrow for so many people. And for what? Some ancient grudge. Yeah. Well, I mean, she’s stepping out the mirror’s daughter. Resurrection and vengeance is what that family does best. Yeah. Taking wives away from their husbands and mothers away from their daughters is just, Hey, you know that Megan’s not gonna get away with this.

Especially a black patch on a case. Yeah, I know. That does make me feel better knowing that my dad and Steve are out searching for that murderous bitch.

This is, uh, John, look at you, girl. Oh, Steve. Steve, I’m good to see you. I can’t believe you guys. I can’t believe you’re here. No. Well, we. , we heard that this is where Megan Hathaway was hiding out. Yeah. That she came here after Caracas last July. Yeah. But the ISA only recently discovered that and they’ve kept a top secret.

So how’d you find it outta Shane? Well, we didn’t, but the person we did pry it out of took a little convincing, especially considering what Megan did to us last summer. Yeah. See, the agency thought that maybe we were still under her control, but we’re definitely. But I got a question for you. How did you find out where to look for Megan?

You know, luckily she didn’t mess with my head. So the agency didn’t have the same concerns really. Well that, uh, Intel is still highly classified. I mean, you couldn’t just walk in and get that information unless you got it from Shane. Well, let’s, let’s just say I still have a few friends in high place.

That’s why don’t we? But hey guys, I. No matter how we all got here, I’m so happy to see you both right back at you. Hope we opened that door. The last thing we expected to see was a friendly face, especially one as pretty as you . Steve, you look like you were ready for a fight. , I had one way or another, we’re gonna take half the way down and if it’s gonna be the hard way, so be after what she did to you.

I don’t blame you. That woman deserves what’s coming her way. Well, The fact is it isn’t just about what she did to us.

We should have known that you were gonna show up. I mean, how would we think we were gonna wake up from the dead without you? How indeed you may express your thanks at any time. Don’t hold your breath. So now you’re in league with Megan Hathaway. Hmm. Oh, surely that doesn’t surprise. Well bit you would take directions from somebody who was evil and unhinged.

No, it does not surprise me. I serve as a pleasure as a Demer family. Aunt Megan is a dememer. She’s a daughter of a man who caused pain and suffering to everybody he ever met. Untrue certain. Dara has a legend lost to us far too soon. It is now my duty, honor and privilege to carry on some issues of his progeny.

I shall. Her wish, as they say, is my command. Look, we don’t really have time to wait, okay? No. Oh, did you? Did you hear what I said? Kayla and Marlena, they’re both here somewhere, so Yeah, I heard you, but we can’t leave. If you are worried about Megan, there’s no problem there. She’s incapacitated. What do you mean?

I mean that she had me tied up. She was trying to inject me with some kind of drug, so I punched her in the jaw and I knocked her out. But she could come too anytime. So we need to go Where, where did this happen? Right on the other side of this door, right before I ran into to you. So the love of God.

Let’s get out of here. Um, sorry, but we have to go that way. No. No, we don’t. It’s way too risky. Nope. Don’t have a choice.

I know it didn’t turn out so well for us the last time. Ended up devolving into a bunch of texts about when we could possibly meet up and all the times that we couldn’t. Right. But even when we lost touch, I, I couldn’t stop thinking about last summer meeting you for the first time traveling around the world together, trying to find your dad.

Yeah. It’s not often a, on our first date where we end up in a shared hotel room in Hong Kong. , I’ve never been happier to return someone’s gym clothes , when she could probably tell Yeah. When we kissed . Yeah. Yeah. I, I could,

you know, I thought about that kiss many times. You know, it felt like, uh, it felt like the start of something. Sometimes when I’m sitting at my desk working late, I think about that moment and now I wish we could go back to him.

Maybe we could,

have you heard anything from your dad since you left? No, not yet, but I’m sure I’ll call when there’s an update. Well, knowing your dad and my uncle. Your phone’s gonna be ringing real soon. There aren’t two people on this planet more motivated to find Megan. Yeah, I wish I could do what they’re doing and just throw myself into the search and then give myself away to take my mind off all this grief, you know, in a way that’s productive.

But you know, even if they do find Megan and she does end up behind bars forever, it doesn’t really change anything for me. What do you mean? I mean, no matter how much Megan pays or Orpheus pays, I don’t get what I want. More time. My mom. Where the hell is Megan? And what has she done with Kate? Such anger.

You’re damn right. We’re angry and we’re worried about our friend. You didn’t be really. Why is that? Because she’s been given a great honor. Thanks to her contribution, I will be able to determine if my scientific genius has been successful yet again. And what contribution is that? Well, due to our doctors as well.

Certainly you are familiar with the concept of a test subject. Yeah. But in legitimate medicine, a test subject, volunteers. I’m pretty certain that Kate did not volunteer to help you. Well, actually she was fortunate enough to be chosen. As I said, it is a rare and coveted opportunity. What? Kate will be the very first recipient of my new.

What serum is that?

You think Megan’s the one who stole the orchid? Yes, and it was the only thing that could have occurred. Kayla, Marlene and Kate Hathaway is responsible for their deaths. What I.

Oh, dear God, I’m so sorry.

I’m, I’m in shock. I’m so sorry. I,

I can’t even imagine what you’ve both been going through. I make behind it

all these years, she’s still causing so much destruction and pain to the people I love. I’m. Well, she’s obviously just as vindictive and deranged as she ever was. It all started with her obsession with Bo. You know,

here’s the thing. All the doors in this place, they flock automatically. It’s, it’s like this. You go into a room or whatever and door closes behind you, and it’s locked. Okay. Well, I was just able to let myself out of this room, so, oh, well. When is a door, not a door? When it’s a jar, it must have been open a little bit.

What are you trying to tell me? That, that we’re not gonna be able to get out of here? No, we just, we have to go back in there and get Megan’s. Okay, fine. Let’s just do it. Okay.

Well, there she is, right where I left her. What’d you do to her? Exactly what I told you. I knocked her out. Let’s get those keys and get out of here,

Megan. Hey, wake up. Okay. Just nevermind her. Just get the. Good job. She’s out cold. Yeah, it is good. So good. Get look at her pocket, Megan. Oh, look at her pocket. Let I, I’ll do it. Stay where you are. You said that we needed to get the keys to escape, so let’s just shut up and stay where you are. Hey Megan again.

Can you hear me? Hey, time to wake.

What happened? Hmm? You got cold caught.

Oh, you all right?

I think so. No thanks to her. Yeah, I think she’s figuring out that she got played

I don’t have to tell you what it’s like doing it. No, no you don’t. Not that I wouldn’t get how terribly difficult this is for you anyway, but um, I mean, having gone through this with my dad, I know how much you still miss him. You know, he’d be really proud of you, of everything you’ve accomplished. I mean, you dedicated your entire life to protecting people and not just family and friends, but everybody.

You honor him every day by doing that. I know there, I can’t help but think about all the things that he’s missed out. I mean like another chance with my mom seeing Claire grow up, not being able to spend time with Sierra and her new baby, all the family milestones, birthdays, holidays, and all the ones yet to come.

Yeah, they should both be with us. Your dad and my mom. There’s a day that goes by that I don’t think about him, but. I made peace with the fact that he’s gone. And I think that a big part of being able to do that is that, is that I understand it. I mean, yeah, his death was terrible and it was tragic, but, but it made sense.

And what happened with your mom? It made no sense at all. I’m so sorry, bill. I would do anything to give you more time with your mom. And I would give anything to be able to help you with this pain.

What serum are you talking about? The details are not for me to disclose. Well then who should we ask? You should direct any inquiries regarding the serum to Madame Hask. But trust me when I tell you, it could be life changing or not. Just for her. What is that supposed to mean? Most people get over their high school sweethearts, not her.

Megan never did. So this all goes back to Megan and Bo going steady in high school. Yeah. She thought that Bo had broken up with her and he thought that she had done the same to him, but in fact, neither were true. So what happened? Megan’s mother, she caused the breakup. She manipulated both of them. And when Megan found out she lost it, she, she’s, something broke inside of her.

That’s when she became obsessed with ball and desperate, really desperate to get him back. Are you sure you’re all. Yeah, I’m, I’m fine, but would you just mind helping me out?

Okay.

Back in business.

Look at her like a deer in the headlights. Stunned silence. No, she wouldn’t shut up earlier to hold it. Hold it.

You’re not going anywhere.

What’s wrong? Um, nothing. Nothing. I, I’m just wondering, maybe, maybe this is, maybe this is not a good idea. Do you not want to No, no. I, I do. I I definitely do. But i’s just like what we just talked about, you know, we tried this before and it didn’t work out. I dunno, maybe we’re just setting ourselves up for more disappointment.

I see your point. Well, I, I, I, it’s like we really had, I mean, we really do. We have such a strong connection and, and I would love to see where that takes us. But the last time around, I mean, finding time for each other was such an impossibility. I don’t know, maybe, maybe we should just be smarter if we just cut our, cut our losses now.

Mm. And before we get in too deep. Probably right? I mean, we live so far apart. Our lives are so busy. I mean, there’s a really good chance that this won’t work, but there’s a chance that it might, it’s a chance I’d like to take. Would you.

So your serum is meant to be life changing and not just for Megan. So who else’s life is it going to change? So many questions. And did the answers have anything to do with that? Is Marlina Wright is it also gonna change the life of whoever the former occupant of that tube? Ah, yes. Well, my earliest prototypes, the technology was far more limited back then on, yet it was a very successful project.

Successful how I was able to keep the subject in a cryogenic state for nearly a decade. A decade. Who was it? Who was your subject?

Put down the gun. You’re not going anywhere. Come up. We’re both going somewhere. We’re leaving. Push me. You’ll regret it. I wouldn’t test him if I were you. Look, I, I don’t know what she put you through. Look, clearly you have been through something and you don’t even know what you’re saying. You. You have to trust me.

Okay? I’m on your side. Let me help you. Please

go. We’re not strangers. Okay. We’re, we’ve known each other for years. We’re a family. I was married to Victor. You were married to my daughter. Bo doesn’t need a history lesson, so stop babbling so that we can pick it up where we left off before you so rudely assaulted me and. Phase two will finally begin.

Don’t listen to her. Don’t listen to her. We’ll ditch her and we’ll get out of here. We’ll be free and we can go back to our homes and to the people that we love. Bo I find your lack of gratitude. Very disappointing. God, what do you want me to be grateful for? For what you did to me. I saved your life, didn’t I?

And now I’ve chosen you to be the initial recipient of my new serum. Well, I choose not to be the recipient of a pable fatal drug. Okay. Oh, relax. It might not kill you, but it does need to be tested so it stop wasting time and get on with it. Now, where is that vile?

You mean this?

You know, we really don’t give a damn what Megan’s motivation is. We just want to track her down and make her pay. So, looks like you’ve got a headstart on us. Did you find anything poking around here? I have searched every inch of this labyrinth and, uh, there’s no sign of her. So indication where she might have gone, nothing.

Nothing If there’s a affording address, she did not leave it lying around. Damn, damn well, partner. Looks like it might hit a dead end here. Dead end. What are you talking about? There’s no dead end. There’s gotta be a way to figure out where Megan went. Yep.

You are absolutely right. I missed you. Maybe there is.

Thank you for always knowing exactly what to say. No, I, I don’t always. Don’t even think I do most of the time . I just think that I do in this case because you know, I’ve been there and if there’s something that I can tell you, it’s that you’re never gonna stop missing them. But time, time definitely helps, you know, although there are days that I will feel the loss of my dad, so it’s a cute thing.

It’s like, it just happened yesterday. And then there are other days that I remember all the fun times I had with him now that we had, you know, and think about all the funny things that he’d say and times that he’d tell me that he loves me and that he’s proud of me and that definitely it makes things less painful.

Yeah, right. You know, another thing that. Hmm. So when I remind myself just how blessed I am to be able to share my life with someone like you, someone so kind and so wonderful, who I just happen to love with all my heart, I love you with all my heart too, and I need you so much right now. You have me now.

You have me now, and you have me always.

And do you know what else we need to remind ourselves of? Mm-hmm. , not only do we have each other, got an incredible daughter. Yeah. We’ve got a great big family to lean on.

And now

I’m officially off the clock. I said, what do you say? We go home and we lean on each. On the couch. That sounds really good.

That was perfect.

Ah, exactly the words I was looking for. So can we talk about what happens next? Well, I was thinking.

No. No. , no. Do we discuss where we go from here? Yeah. Yeah. We probably should, but not, right? No, I just wanna enjoy this perfect moment with you.

It’s all right. Get it.

Donovan? Yeah. Pat your through

hope. What can I do for you? I need a favor. I need to go to see Harris Michaels.

We know that you kept Stephan Damara on ice for four years, but a decade. That’s quite a feat, don’t you? Thank Marta. Yes, I do. It’s quite remarkable. Mm-hmm. . So the person must have been very important. Yeah. I’m just, I’m just so curious. I can’t stop thinking about who it might be. I can’t stop thinking about it either.

I mean, it could be, but No, that’s silly. Now what are you thinking? Well, I’m just thinking that maybe what if it’s, uh, somebody famous? You mean like a world leader or a rockstar or a Hollywood legend? Maybe an athlete? You know, I did hear a while back that there was a baseball player who was Cryogenically frozen.

Wait a minute, wait a minute, maybe. Maybe we’re on the wrong track. Maybe it’s somebody who was, I don’t know, closer to home, maybe somebody from Salem, somebody that we all. Yeah. What about that Ro? Somebody we all knew. Somebody close to Salem. I didn’t say anything, but nice try. If I went in such a hurry to complete my experiment, I’d stay and applaud your creativity.

We don’t need your applause. We’d just like to know who was in that tube. And we are pretty. Wasn’t Stefano because you took his essence and put it in Steve. Another hugely successful experiment of mine ruined by stefano’s well meaning, but misguided children for a tremendous loss. When Chad and Tony destroys that microchip, you can lament it later.

Just tell us who it was for the last time. Tell us who was in the tub.

Hand it over. Do you really think that you’re gonna be able to make it out of here without Bo shooting you dead? Or perhaps you think that another pathetic speech about how the two of you used to be family is gonna change his mind. Oh, please give it. You heard the man,

whatever kinship the two of you used to have, it’s long over. I’ll stop wasting time and let’s get on with it.

Time.

That was stupid. Really not allowing you to make me your personal Guinea pig. I think it was one of my smarter moves. How typically arrogant and ignorant of you. Congratulating yourself when you’ve just made one of the most idiotic decisions ever. How’s that? The only reason that I was keeping you alive was to make sure that that serum worked.

Now that it’s gone, you’re of no further use to me,

no point in drawing this out any. You may as well go ahead and kill her.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Yep.

Okay. Send him.

Uncle Steve

desk job. Huh? Who’d you piss off? Nice to see you too. I, not to seem too hostile or anything, but what the hell are you doing here? Why do you think I’m. I need your help to find Megan Hathaway,

my dear ladies, your whole family still PS you’re dad, but I don’t want you to sleep your whole life away. Once again, it’s time to wake up. We have so much to do,

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

Hey, Robert Lucas. Now I’ve been sitting here trying to figure out why you wanted to see me again.

We can take it by your attitude that this is not a social cult. No, it isn’t. We found out which Demaris told the orchid and. It was step’s. Daughter, why would Kristen take the orchid from herself? Not that daughter. His other daughter made an Hathaway, who’s that? Well, you might have forgotten her because she appeared to die 40 years ago, how Salem offered to appear to die.

Yeah, Larry Wells killed and, uh, stuck her in a hot tub and proceeded to zap it with electricity. It’s pretty thorough. You would think so, but you know how hard it is to kill Dira. And in true Dira form, Stefano took the body and maintained it in life form cryogenic. But now she is very much alive, fully functioning, and totally lethal.

Where is she now? That’s a million dollar question, John. Steve looking and I am here. To find out what you might know.

You know, dad, ah, you need to tell you about this new device that came out with, it’s called a phone. Sorry. Did you show up like this kid? No, it’s fine. It’s a bit surprised. That’s all.

How you doing? About as well as can be expected, I guess.

If it’s hard for me to believe she’s gone, it must be hell for you.

You okay?

Yeah. I forgot how much you love to talk about your feelings. Don’t really see any point in talking about I’m not gonna change anything. Right. Hey, but you know what though? The good thing is, you know, I, I really wanted to stay on in, in Salem after the funeral on. Yeah, well you got a chance to coach Triple A.

You can’t pass that up. So how’s it going up pretty well, actually, here’s the thing, uh, we’re starting a, a home stand. Three games. So don’t you stay around for a couple days, coach my coaching. We’ll see.

Why do I get the feeling that you didn’t come out here to talk about baseball? Because I didn’t. You on a case, Steve and I are you. Look, we ought to sit.

You have to know that finding Ms. Hathaway is one of the agency’s top priorities. Wow. Agency speak, getting real good at that. The thing is, this isn’t my case, but I can’t put you in touch with the agent in charge. Well, if I wanted to talk to the agent in charge, I wouldn’t be in your office. Now, remember when we spoke on the phone a few days ago, I got the distinct feeling that you were giving me the runaround.

So I’m here face to face to get some answers. Steve, it’s not that I won’t answer your questions. I can’t.

Are you awake too? Oh, I was having a nightmare. I think we’re actually living one. Yeah, it trumps it. Megan was holding this captain and we didn’t know why. Well, I don’t think we have time to find out. We need to get outta here. Here I, I’m okay. Why don’t you help Kate? Damn. What is it? She’s gone. How could she be

here? Go. What the hell are you smiling at? I’m happy because phase two. Is finally about to begin.

What? What is going on? Why am I tied up? Where am Marlena and Kayla? Okay, I, who the hell do you think you are? Does it not compute that you are the one who’s tied up? And I am not? That you’re not in a position of power and that I am, perhaps it would be wise of you to at least try not to infuriate me. I didn’t realize you were so fragile.

Not at all. I just think that life is short and we should all try to get along as best we can. Okay. Okay. Remind if I. Uh, would you be so kind as to tell me where Marlena and Kayla are and if they are okay. The doctors, Evans and Johnson are absolutely fine. , see your idea of absolutely fine. And mine are probably not the same.

They ain’t dead. How’s that? Has anyone ever told you that you’re a complete pain in the. Well, your father thought I was absolutely delightful, but then again, he had a sense of humor. , is that what you think it was now? I have something very important to discuss with you. No, I do not wanna talk about anything with you.

You need to get me and Marlena and Kayla back home and to our husbands.

I didn’t even know there was a Megan Hathaway. How, how would I know anything about her? Well, we didn’t know that. We thought maybe your mom had mentioned something when she and uh, Stephanie were married. No, I would’ve remembered. I, I would’ve said so. I would’ve said something as soon as Oria said that, that a DIR stole the orchid who effectively killed my mother.

Yeah, I know that. Look, Lucas we’re, Glassman saw us here. John and Steve are in touch with the isa, but it seems at this point that Megan has just vanished into thin air. Stephanie could do that too, right? Yeah. Well, I think the two of them have lots in common. What I don’t get is why would a woman who’s been, I don’t know, dead for 40 years, why would she come back and try to kill my.

My mom didn’t even know her. I’m telling you, I’m telling you. When my mom was married to Stefano, I never once heard either of ’em say the the name Megan Mali. I don’t think Kate was a real target from what I configured. The bitch was after Kayla and Myla.

You think Kate really found a way out here and left us behind? Well, it wouldn’t be the first time that she looked after number one. No. No, it wouldn’t. If Kate found a way out of here, she must have done it with some planning. Don’t you think that Megan wouldn’t have security cameras everywhere? Who knows?

Locked? Of course it is. But if Kate got out of here, she would not have locked the door behind. So Megan must have done that. Yeah. I’m getting really tired of this. Megan Hathaway. Yeah. Yeah. She kept talking about her plan. I, I wonder if maybe Kate was part of that plan. Oh, we have gotta find a way out of here.

Are you gonna.

Another cryogenic cylinder.

So who the hell was in here?

So you think Andrew can help you track down Megan Hathaway? Oh, that’s what we’re hoping. So he didn’t mention anything to you off the cuff about her? No. You want a beer? I’m gonna have a beer. Don’t take this personally here. He’s not trying to shut you out. ISA agents can’t really bring their work home with him.

Hell, it’s not like that. Yeah. And what’s it like? Nothing. Yeah. Angie and I aren’t really talking to each other about. And that’s it.

If you have any idea where Megan Hathaway is, which I think you do, I don’t understand why you won’t tell me. You and John don’t have clearance. We don’t have clearance. Do you have any idea how long John and I have been doing the agency’s dirty work? Just ask your father how many times we put our lives on the line and then tell me we don’t have clearance.

I don’t have to ask my father. I grew up on the. And everyone here knows and respects your history. Oh, my history. Listen now we’re trying to find the woman responsible for the death of our wives, and you tell me we don’t have clearance. Why the hell not? Because there’s a concern that you and John have been compromised.

And it’s not like Andrew and I had a falling out. Hmm. You just said that you and Andrew aren’t talking to each other. About anything, so, so how is that not a falling out? No, I mean that we didn’t get in a big fight or anything and it wasn’t that we didn’t get along. We did, we’re getting along. That sounds pretty tepid.

So in other words, what? No heat. Dad. Oh dad, what? Come on. You told me when you two in Hong Kong, there was a lot of chemistry there. So what happened? He comes here to visit. What? The movie doesn’t live up to the preview. Okay. What happened was, we had a great time together and we thought we could make it work, but then reality checked in.

He lives in dc I live here. He’s got a demanding job. I’m transitioning to become a coach. You know, long distance relationships, they involve, well, a lot of logistics. I see. And it’s, it’s too hard for a couple middle-aged farts to make adjustments, not middle-aged Well, you know, the way he could’ve fooled.

Come on, you got a secret agent, you’ve got a superstar athlete, and you two act like a couple of insurance adjusters. So you know, you, you’re fine. You, you sit here, you sit here all alone, and you just keep convincing yourself that logistics are too complicated to be with someone who could actually make you happy.

How do you really feel about it?

Compromise. Huh? What the hell’s that supposed to? It means the last summer in Hong Kong, you were Megan Hathaway’s hired muscle. We weren’t hired, we were brainwashed, and it was pretty effective. You held a whole room hostage. You put a gun to Wendy Shin’s head. We were under Megan Hathaway’s. Control. And how does anyone know that you’re not now?

Oh, you think John and I are sleeper? I don’t, but some very important people in the organization have reservations, so now my partner and I are in the impossible position of having to prove a negative. You said you don’t believe it. Why? Because I was there when Paul broke through to John and broke Megan’s spell.

While I understand your desire to get back to Salem and your dreary little lives, I’m afraid I can’t accommodate you. As I said, phase two is about to begin and your participation is non-negotiable.

what does that even. I didn’t even know there was a phase one and now apparently it’s all over. You don’t need to know you. Marlena and Kayla are just chest pieces on the board pawns in someone else’s game. Okay, I so are Roman, John and Steve. Are they paws as well? Is that why they believe we’re all dead?

They believe you’re all dead because someone took the only thing that could have saved your.

Damn look, actually I think it’s quite beautiful.

So was Kayla and Marlene who put the kibosh? When Megan’s big plant Katie had nothing to do with she telling me my mom died for no good reason. Yeah, it feels that way and that’s why we have to find Megan to make her pay for what she did. It’s not gonna bring my mom back. You think? I don’t know. I’m sorry.

I know this has been hard for you too. How are you doing? Want me to lie to you? Tell you I’m doing okay. I can see you’re not okay. I want you to tell me the truth. Well, I got lots of people looking out for me. Abe came over the other day and, uh, told me how he fell when he lost Lexi, and how he thought he’d never fall in love.

I knew I meant well, but, uh, all does. Lets, uh, remind me how much time your mom and I wasted and how damn happy we were when we got back together. And now I have to face the fact that I will never see her again. And I am very sure that John and Steve feel exactly the same way.

Look, it’s power down and the locks have been released. There’s no one in there. Now. Whoever was in there, Megan had to have let them go. Well, I’m no expert, but it looks like that is a lot older than these are. Then you heard what Megan said. She never throws anything away. She also told Steve and John that she was cryogenically frozen after she was supposedly.

So maybe that’s where she was stashed. And what about the prisms? She said she wanted those to help cure someone. She cared about someone we all thought was dead. And who was it who was in the tube? Oh God. I think I know.

I know it’s not exactly the same, and I know I don’t have any right telling you this right now, but the way you feel about my mom is exactly the way I feel about Sammy. Sammy’s not good. Yeah, I know, but I’m pretty much as good as dead to her. She’ll never forgive me. I’ve never loved anyone the way I loved her, and I’ll never have a chance to get her back.

I, I know I blew that. You’re not always wrong, and I know she’ll never forgive me, and I know you’ll never forgive me. That’s why I’m really appreciative that you come here and you talk to me and you tell me what’s going on. I know that I don’t deserve it.

Well, you know what? You won’t get a big argument from me on that, but the thing is, You’re Kate son. She did forgive you and she did love you. And I am thinking, Lucas, that in a way you and I talking to each other this way is a good way to honor your mom’s memory. So that’s the orchid. The orchid. When I got you here, you were all at death’s store.

How else do you think I was able to revive you? I had to use the orchid to count of the effects of the toxin that Orpheus gave you. Kind of weird thinking about your life being dependent. A flower. I had someone prepare and administer the necessary second. That is why you’re still here.

This flower’s healing power. It’s not restricted to what ailed the three of you. I took it because I needed to remedy my own condition. And that of someone who is very dear to me,

Ste. You think it was Ste? Well, what if Megan was just keeping him on ice and now she has the three prisms and, and she’s thinking that what the Phoenix may rise. Well, you know what? I have a second thought. Even if that man’s body was able to be preserved, he would just be a shell, his, his spirit, his soul, as if he had one.

You know, he did have one, but it was evil and destructive, and it was taken from his body in the form of a microchip, and it was put in Steve’s head, and then I was able to remove it. And then Chad and. Burned it. Okay. Then Stefano is gone. Stefano is dead. He has to be,

my wife is dead and John’s wife is dead because of Megan. Now, how could you people think that we’d be helping her? I told. I don’t think that, and I know how much you loved on Kayla. I did too. I don’t want justice for her as much as you do. Don’t talk to me about justice. My Kayla is gone and the agency has decided that we can’t be trusted with clearance and you are gonna play it to the agency.

Okay, that’s fine. We’re gonna keep looking for her and we’re gonna find her. Whether you help us or not

good, you just get back to your busy work

and say hello to your dad for me. Uncle Steve,

I just pulled up our file on Megan Hathaway because I have clearance. I can view it whenever I want. I’m just not at liberty to share it with you. But what I can do is offer you a cup of government issue, coffee, and it’s a coffee station at the end of the hall. Would you like a cup of coffee and take me maybe three, four minutes?

Yeah, I’d like a cup of coffee. Thank you. It’s the least I can do.

You. Sorry kid, I didn’t mean that. Shouldn’t have said anything. It’s really none of my business.

Saved by the bell. I gotta take this.

Yeah. What’s up? I might have a possible location on Megan Hathaway. It’s a long shot, but right now it’s our only shot. So how fast can you get to the airport? You know, I don’t think we have to worry too much about who was in that tube, because right now I think that Megan has Kate, and if that’s. I think things are gonna start changing pretty fast around here, and we better be getting out while we still can.

Agreed. We need to find a way through that door from the look of it. We’re not gonna break it down. I think that we just have to start getting smart about this.

I, I, I could give you a ride to the airport. Oh, I’m fine, thanks. Or you could get two tickets to wherever it is you’re going. You know that place? That’s your only shot. Just a figure of speech. Oh, come on dad. We were just in a heated discussion about my failed love life and how I’m basically screwing life up in general, and then Steve calls and what You’re outta here.

So I know it’s important. I know it’s urgent and it’s probably dangerous, so let me help you. Let me come with you. No, because Steve and Eric, we just need to do this on our.

All right, but please be careful. I don’t wanna have to fly halfway around the world to save your ass again. I’m never gonna hear the end of that, am I? No.

Listen about before I’m. I’m sorry, I I had no right to talk to you like that. I was really outta line. Do you really think that? I don’t get that. It must be damn frustrating when you’ve lost Marlena and to, to see me all alone and apparently not doing anything about it. But still, it, it’s, it’s none of my business.

You’re my dad. And as much as I hate to admit it, you got a point. So you and I were cool. Okay. You’ve got enough on your plate without worrying about. Okay, thanks. I gotta run. Good. Okay. Well, uh, you know, just, just let me know when you’re o when you’re okay. When you have the time. I can’t help. I, I just worry about you.

Good luck this weekend.

Okay, well, I’m gonna check in with, uh, John, Steve, see if they’re having any luck. Just keep me busted first. Hurt while, alright,

so you said that you had to use it to remedy your own condition. Are you sure you really did that? Cause you’re not looking so.

The lighting’s not very good in here. I’m fine. You know, I could have let you die,

You expect me to. Thank you. Uh, oh. Maybe I should have sent you a fruit basket when I get home, but then I’m again, to do that I would need your address, so, so what’s it gonna be? Is it gonna be a cell at Statesville or a padded room at Bayview? You know, you really are a pain in the ass. Which erases any hesitation that I might have had to proceed?

What do you mean I’m going to use you as a Guinea pig? You see, someone has made me a little serum. Only it came with a caveat. What doesn’t make me stronger might in fact kill me, and I don’t see any reason that I should take that risk, not when I have you here to do a trial run on.

This, please. Like a damn labyrinth. Yep. Been switching these hallways for. Almost an hour no sign. Megan Hathaway was ever here. Well, the ISA analyst put the probability at 12%. These aren’t good odds partner. That’s the only lead we got. You know the agency checked it out before, maybe they missed something.

You don’t wanna stop, do you buddy? We’re not gonna stop till we find that woman in Baker Bay.

Guys mock up. You gonna turn, lock pick on you on, man? You said you were bringing yours ia, security confiscated. Oh, okay. So now what do you,

what’s. A nice little cocktail that someone whipped for me. I have it on good authority that you and my dearly departed brother Andre, had an affinity from martinis. Shaken, not injected. You are right. I am not yet fully recovered from being well, you know.

And I’m told that this could be the answer to my prayers. Well then why not use it on yourself rather than waving around near me, because while it may take care of whatever it is that I need, it does come with the one-off chance of an unpleasant side effect. Well, I suggest that you try something homeopathic first, then I’m more inclined to do a trial run on you.

You see, look at the kill you. It could potentially have very extraordinary effects. Something that you’ll thank me for later, and if it does happen to kill you, who knows? Maybe someone will bring you back to life again. Right?

Oh my. And you’ve been at that forever. Maybe we should try something else. Ah, ah, I got it.

You think that’s going to get us out of here? You know, when you pointed to the chamber, it reminded me of a date that I had with Steve where we talked all about how to pick a lock. So I got him to teach me. And you know, it, it’s actually pretty simple if you have a wire. What like a, like a bobby pin? No, no.

Nine times outta 10, those will break. You need something industrial like from a, a heating or cooling unit, like, like this, uh, cryogenic chamber. Well, let’s just hope that Steve taught you. Well, man. Kathy’s not the heating unit around the corner. Nice.

Before you do whatever you’re going to do to me, can I, can I at least say something? Final last words. Make it snappy. It’ll be short. Just a sentence. Okay. What is it? The rope on my hand wasn’t tight. Stop it.

I think it worked.

I think you got it, man. Click.

Oh, I miss you. I haven’t heard your voice in a while, but if there’s a way for you to reach out to me again, I know you’ll make that happen. I love you.

Night. Night, golden Girl.

Andrew. Hi Paul. Well, if you’re looking for my dad, uh, he, he’s just left for the airport a few hours ago. He’s meeting up with your uncle Steve. Yeah, I figured.

So then what are you doing here? I came to see you,

so, uh, yeah. Come in. Ah, yeah, of course.

I think it worked.

I think you got it, man. I heard a click.

Hello ladies. Welcome back to the Land of the Living.

No. Freaking way.

Night. Night. Golden girl.

Is that you? Yeah. Uh, long time. No see.

Kayla and Marlena saw Rolf at the door. Steve and John ran into Hope. Rolf asked if Kayla and Marlena were going somewhere. They said they weren’t surprised to see him. He said he served the DiMeras. He said he would do anything Megan wanted. They asked him where Kate was. He said she was being honored by being Megan’s test subject. He said she was getting his new serum. He said he didn’t want to tell them about it. He said it would be life changing. They started asking him questions. They asked if it had anything to do with the person in the other pod. He said he was able to keep the person for a deep freeze for almost 10 years which was longer than Bo was gone. John, Steve and Hope figured out that they were all looking for Megan.

Days of Our Lives Update

Update written by Joseph

Paul answers his door and is surprised to see Andrew Donovan. Paul informs him that if he came to see John, he just left for the airport to meet up with Steve. Andrew says he figured and that he came to see Paul, so Paul invites him in.

Kayla successfully picks the lock on the door in the lab.

Steve and John pick the lock on the door they are at.

Kayla goes to open the door but hears movement from the other side.

Steve and John then open the door with their guns raised.

Kayla and Marlena’s door opens and it’s Dr. Rolf, who welcomes them back to the land of the living.

Steve and John are shocked to find Hope Brady with her gun raised as well on the other side of the door!

After knocking out Megan, Kate escapes and runs in to Bo Brady! Kate asks if it’s really him. Bo confirms it is and says long time no see.

At the police station, Shawn calls Hope and leaves her a message, saying that he’d like to talk to her. Belle arrives and says she’s glad to see him as they hug. Shawn asks if it was a long day. Belle says she’s just leaving the courthouse as the jury wanted to stay and deliberate so they could come up with a verdict. Belle asks if Shawn is okay. Shawn says he is just worried about his mom because he can’t seem to reach her despite calling and leaving messages. Belle is sure she’s just busy. Shawn hopes that’s all it is.

Steve questions what the hell Hope is doing here. Hope assumes the same thing they are; looking for Megan Hathaway.

Megan remains knocked out where Kate left her.

Kate can’t believe that Bo is alive and asks how. Kate guesses it was Megan and the prisms. Kate says they assumed Megan wanted the prisms to bring Stefano back, but she wanted to bring Bo back. Bo confirms that she succeeded. Kate asks if he’s been imprisoned here the whole time. Bo confirms he’s been here awhile. Kate says she’s so sorry but she’s thrilled that she ran in to him because Megan had her imprisoned here as well along with Marlena and Bo’s sister Kayla. Kate says she has no idea why she did it but Megan had the three of them on ice against their wills.

Dr. Rolf asks Marlena and Kayla if they were going somewhere.

Kate still can’t believe Bo is alive and says to wait until Kayla sees him. Kate says this is all crazy but they have to find Marlena and Kayla so they can free them and then all four of them can get the hell out of here. Bo stops her and says they can’t do that.

Paul tells Andrew that John ran out pretty fast when he got Steve’s call, saying that he had a potential lead on the location of Megan Hathaway. Paul guesses that Andrew gave that to him. Paul notes that he’s not asking him to tell him where he is, he’s just asking if he thinks they have a chance at finding her. Paul argues that they are talking about the woman who murdered his stepmom, Andrew’s aunt, and his uncle Roman’s wife. Andrew says he knows but it’s not his case and even if it were, he’s not allowed to discuss any of the information. Paul gets that it’s top secret information. Andrew insists that he cares about this too as it’s personal for both of them and their families. Andrew assures that the ISA is doing everything in it’s power to get justice for these women. Paul says he trusts him on it. Andrew says good because he’d really like to talk about them. Paul didn’t think there was a them since they stopped talking. Paul notes that they didn’t have a falling out or anything but living on opposite sides of the country and trying to build a relationship is difficult and with their schedules, they couldn’t seem to figure out logistics. Andrew says he remembers but admits he’s missed Paul. Paul responds that he’s missed him too.

Belle asks Shawn if something happened or if he has a reason to believe Hope is in trouble. Shawn says it’s nothing like that and he’s just frustrated that he can’t get a hold of her as he wanted to fill her in on the Megan Hathaway case and see if she knows anything. Belle can’t believe that Megan could just upend all their lives and cause so much sorrow for so many people for some ancient grudge. Shawn points out that she’s Stefano DiMera’s daughter and resurrection and vengeance is what that family does best. Belle complains that what Megan did is sick. Shawn assures that Megan won’t get away with this, especially with Black Patch on the case. Belle admits it does make her feel better knowing that John and Steve are looking for this murderous bitch.

Hope hugs John and Steve, saying she can’t believe they are here. John says they heard this was where Megan Hathaway was hiding out. Hope notes that the ISA only recently discovered that and kept it top secret, so she questions how they pried it out of Shane. Steve admits they didn’t but the person they did pry it out of took a little convincing, especially considering what Megan did to them last summer. John explains that the ISA thought maybe they were still under Megan’s control. Steve assures they are not and asks how Hope figured out where Megan was. Hope notes that Megan never messed with her head so the ISA didn’t have the same concerns with her. Steve points out that it’s still highly classified so she couldn’t just walk in and get that information, unless she got it from Shane. Hope says she still has a few friends in high places. Hope adds that no matter how they all got here, she’s so happy to see them both. Steve says the last thing they expected when they opened the door was a friendly face. Hope points out that he looked ready for a fight. John declares that one way or another, they’re going to take Megan Hathaway down. Hope states that Megan deserves what’s coming her way. Steve adds that it’s not just about what she did to them.

Kayla complains that they should’ve known Dr. Rolf would show up and asks how they would wake up from the dead without him. Dr. Rolf says they can express their thanks at any time. Kayla tells him not to hold his breath. Marlena questions Dr. Rolf working for Megan now. Dr. Rolf says they can’t be surprised, pointing out that he serves at the pleasure of the DiMera family and Megan is a DiMera. Marlena argues that Stefano brought pain and suffering to everyone he met. Dr. Rolf disagrees and calls him a legend that was taken far too soon. Dr. Rolf says it’s now his mission to carry on his legacy with Megan, so anything she asks of him, he will do.

Kate tells Bo that they don’t really have time to wait because Kayla and Marlena are both here somewhere. Bo repeats that they can’t leave. Kate informs him that Megan is incapacitated so there is no worry there. Bo asks what she means. Kate reveals that she knocked Megan out but she could come to at any moment so they have to get out of here. Bo responds that he’s sorry but they have to go back to the room Megan is in. Kate calls it way too risky but Bo says they don’t have a choice.

Andrew knows it didn’t turn out well for he and Paul the last time and it ended up devolving in to texts about times they could meet up. Andrew admits that even when they lost touch, he couldn’t stop thinking about last summer, meeting him and traveling around the world together trying to find John. Paul jokes that it’s not often that he goes on a first date where they end up in a shared hotel room in Hong Kong. Andrew brings up when they kissed. Paul admits he thought about that kiss many times and says it felt like the start of something. Andrew notes that sometimes when he’s working late, he thinks about that moment and wishes they could go back to it. Paul suggests maybe they could and then they kiss.

Shawn asks if Belle has heard from John since he left. Belle says not yet but she’s sure he will call when there’s an update. Shawn feels her phone will be ringing soon then because there’s no one more motivated to find Megan than John and Steve. Belle wishes she could do what they are doing and throw herself in to the search to take her mind off all the grief in a way that’s productive. Belle adds that even if they find Megan and she ends up behind bars forever, it doesn’t really change anything for her because no matter how much Megan or Orpheus pays, she doesn’t get any more time with her mom.

Kayla and Marlena question Dr. Rolf about where Megan is and what she’s done with Kate. Dr. Rolf tells them not to worry because thanks to Kate, he will be able to determine if his scientific genius has been successful again. Dr. Rolf calls Kate a test subject. Kayla argues that test subjects volunteer in legitimate medicine and she’s pretty sure Kate didn’t volunteer. Dr. Rolf argues that she was fortunate to be chosen to be the first recipient of his new serum.

Hope asks John and Steve about thinking that Megan took the orchid. Steve confirms it was the only thing that could’ve cured Marlena, Kayla, and Kate. John declares that Megan Hathaway is responsible for their deaths. Hope is shocked and says that can’t be. Hope tells them that she’s so sorry as she can’t even imagine what they have been going through. Hope says after all these years, Megan is still causing so much destruction and pain to the people she loves. Steve says she’s obviously as vindictive and deranged as she ever was. Hope points out that it all started with Megan’s obsession with Bo.

Bo informs Kate that all the doors in this place lock automatically. Kate points out that she just let herself out of the room she was in. Bo guesses it must have been open a little bit. Kate asks if he’s telling her that they can’t get out of here. Bo tells her that they have to go back and get Megan’s keys which Kate agrees to do. They go back in where Megan remains knocked out. Bo questions what she did to her. Kate repeats that she knocked her out and says to get the keys and get out of here. Bo checks on Megan and confirms she’s out cold. Kate tells Bo to just get the keys but Bo starts trying to wake Megan up. Kate argues about the keys but Bo warns her to stay where she is. Bo wakes Megan up. Megan asks what happened. Bo informs her that she got cold cocked and asks if she’s alright. Megan says she thinks so, no thanks to Kate. Bo thinks Kate is now figuring out that she got played.

Belle tells Shawn that she doesn’t have to tell him what it’s like. Shawn gets how terribly difficult it is for her. Shawn relates to having gone through this with his dad. Belle knows how much he still misses him and assures he’d be really proud of everything he’s accomplished and dedicating his entire life to protecting people. Belle says that Shawn honors his father every day by doing that. Shawn can’t help but think of all that his father missed out, like seeing Claire grow up along with Ciara and her new baby. Belle states that his dad and her mom should both still be with them. Shawn says he thinks about him every day but he made peace with the fact that he’s gone and he thinks a big part of being able to do that is that he understands it. Shawn says his father’s death was terrible and tragic but it made sense while what happened with Marlena made no sense at all. Shawn tells Belle that he’s so sorry and that he would do anything to give her more time with her mom and to be able to help her with this pain.

Marlena questions what serum Dr. Rolf is talking about. Dr. Rolf says the details are not his to disclose and suggests they direct any questions to Megan. Dr. Rolf warns that the serum could be life changing and not just for Megan.

Hope tells John and Steve about how Megan never got over Bo, who was her high school sweetheart. Hope explains about how Megan and Bo both thought the other broke up with them, but it was manipulated by Megan’s mother and when Megan found out, something broke inside of her, and that’s when she became obsessed with Bo and desperate to get him back.

Bo asks Megan if she’s sure she’s alright. Megan assures that she’s fine and asks Bo to help her up, so he does. Megan remarks that Kate is stunned silent. Bo responds that Kate wouldn’t shut up earlier. Kate tries to leave but Bo pulls a gun on her and says she’s not going anywhere.

Paul and Andrew kiss until Paul stops and wonders if this isn’t a good idea. Paul assures that he definitely wants it but reminds him that they tried before and it didn’t work out, so he worries they are setting themselves up for more disappointment. Paul acknowledges that they have a great connection and he would love to see where that takes them, but finding time to be together last time was so hard so maybe they should cut their losses now before they get too deep. Andrew agrees that they live so far apart and their lives are so busy so there’s a really good chance it might not work, but there’s a chance it might and that’s a chance he’d like to take, so they continue kissing.

Marlena and Kayla question Dr. Rolf about his serum being life changing but not just for Megan, so they want to know who else’s life it’s going to change. Dr. Rolf mocks them having so many questions. Marlena asks if the answers have anything to do with the cryogenic chamber in the room. Kayla asks if the serum will affect whoever was in the chamber. Dr. Rolf says that was one of his earliest prototypes and a very successful project. Marlena asks how it was successful. Dr. Rolf reveals that he kept the subject in a cryogenic state for nearly a decade. Kayla questions who the subject was.

Kate tells Bo to put down the gun. Bo tells her that she’s not going anywhere. Kate responds that they are both leaving. Bo warns that she will regret it if she pushes him. Megan adds that she wouldn’t test him. Kate doesn’t know what Megan has put Bo through but argues that he doesn’t even know what he’s saying. Kate urges Bo to trust her and let her help him. Kate says they aren’t strangers and have known each other for years. Kate reminds Bo that she was married to Victor and Bo was married to her daughter. Megan argues that he doesn’t need a history lesson and tells Kate they are going to pick up from before she rudely assaulted her and then phase two will finally begin. Kate encourages Bo not to listen to Megan and to ditch her so they can be free and return home to the people they love. Megan is disappointed in Kate’s lack of gratitude, reminding her that she saved her life and now she’s chosen her to be the first recipient of her new serum. Kate refuses to be the recipient of a potentially fatal drug. Megan argues that it won’t kill her but it does need to be tested. Kate finds the vial of the serum on the floor and picks it up.

John tells Hope that they don’t give a damn what Megan’s motivation is as they just want to track her down and make her pay. Steve asks if Hope found anything while poking around. Hope confirms there’s no sign of Megan or any idea of where she went. John guesses they hit a dead end. Steve disagrees and says there has to be a way to figure out where Megan went. Hope agrees and declares that maybe there is.

Belle thanks Shawn for always knowing exactly what to say. Shawn doesn’t think he does most of the time and he only does in this case because he’s been there. Shawn says they never stop missing them but time definitely helps. Shawn notes that there are days that he feels the loss of his dad like it just happened yesterday and there’s other days that he remembers all the fun times they had. Shawn adds that it helps to remind himself of how blessed he is to spend his life with Belle. Belle says she loves him with all her heart and she needs him so much right now. Shawn assures that she always has him. Shawn reminds Belle that not only do they have each other, but an incredible daughter and a great big family to lean on. Shawn declares that he is now officially off the clock so he suggests they go home to lean on each other on the couch.

Paul and Andrew end up having sex. They talk about it being perfect. Andrew asks if they should talk about where they go from here. Paul says they should but not right now and kisses him until they are interrupted by Andrew getting a call from Hope. Hope tells him that she needs a favor; she needs to get in to see Harris Michaels.

Kayla tells Dr. Rolf that they know he kept Stefan DiMera on ice for four years but a decade is quite a feat. Marlena agrees and says the person must have been very important. Kayla can’t stop thinking about who it might be. Kayla asks what if it’s somebody famous. Marlena and Kayla talk about how maybe it was someone from Salem that they all knew. Dr. Rolf says if he wasn’t in a hurry to complete his experiment, he would applaud their creativity. Marlena says they just want to know who was in the tube. Kayla adds that they are pretty sure it wasn’t Stefano since Rolf took his essence and put it in Steve. Dr. Rolf calls that another hugely successful experiment of his, ruined by Stefano’s misguided children. He calls it a terrible loss because of Chad and Tony. Kayla and Marlena demand that he tell them who was in the tube.

Bo tells Kate to hand the vial over. Megan asks if Kate really thinks she will get out without Bo shooting her dead or if she thinks a speech about how they used to be family is going to change his mind. Bo tells Kate again to give the vial to Megan. Megan states that whatever kinship they used to have is long over. Megan orders Kate to stop wasting time and get on with it. Kate says fine but then drops the vial and smashes it. Megan calls that stupid. Kate thinks it was a smart move to not let her make her the guinea pig. Megan calls it arrogant of Kate to congratulate herself on making one of the most idiotic decisions ever because the only reason that she was keeping Kate alive was to make sure the serum worked, but now that the serum is gone, Kate is of no further use to her. Megan declares there’s no point in dragging this out any further and instructs Bo to go ahead and kill Kate.

Days of Our Lives Update

Update written by Joseph

In the secret DiMera Lab, Marlena, Kate, and Kayla remain lying in their tubes.

In San Francisco, California, Paul Narita is working out at home when his father, John, shows up at the door and they hug.

At ISA Headquarters in Washington DC, Steve arrives to visit Andrew Donovan. Andrew greets him and asks what he’s doing here. Steve asks why he thinks and responds that he needs his help in finding Megan Hathaway.

Megan Hathaway enters the secret DiMera Lab and declares that Marlena, Kate, and Kayla’s families still think they are dead, but she doesn’t want them to sleep their life away. Megan announces it’s time to wake up because they have so much to do..

Roman goes to visit Lucas in prison. Lucas says he’s been trying to figure out why Roman wanted to see him again and guesses it’s not a social call. Roman reveals that they figured out which DiMera stole the orchid as it was Stefano’s other daughter, Megan Hathaway. Lucas questions who that is. Roman says he might have forgotten her because she appeared to die 40 years ago. Lucas calls that very Salem of her. Roman explains how Larry Welch electrocuted her in a hot tub but you know how hard it is to kill a DiMera and in true DiMera form, Stefano took her body and maintained it in life form, cryogenically, but now she’s very much alive, fully functioning and lethal. Lucas asks where she is now. Roman says that is the question and he’s here to find out what Lucas might know.

Paul jokes with John about not calling. John apologizes for just showing up like this. Paul says it’s fine and he’s just a bit surprised. Paul asks how he’s doing. John says about as well as could be expected. Paul says it’s hard for him to believe that Marlena is gone, so it must be Hell for him. Paul asks if he’s okay but John doesn’t answer so Paul jokes about John not liking to talk about his feelings. John responds that he doesn’t see the point in talking about his feelings because it’s not going to change anything. Paul mentions wanting to stay in Salem after the funeral but he got a job coaching AAA baseball. Paul tells John that they have games at home so he invites John to stick around for a few days and coach his coaching. John says they’ll see. Paul guesses John didn’t come out here to talk about baseball. John confirms that he and Steve are on a case and suggests they sit down.

Andrew assures Steve that finding Megan is one of the ISA’s top priorities. Steve mocks his agency speak. Andrew clarifies that it’s not his case but he could put Steve in touch with the agent in charge. Steve says if he wanted the agent in charge, he wouldn’t be in Andrew’s office. Steve brings up when they talked on the phone a few days ago and how he felt Andrew was giving him the run around so now he’s here, face to face, to get some answers. Andrew says it’s not that he won’t answer his questions, but he can’t.

Kayla and Marlena wake up. They talk about feeling like they are living a nightmare. Kayla gets out of her bed and goes to help Kate but finds that Kate is gone. Kayla wonders where the hell she could be.

Kate wakes up tied up in a room with Megan, who announces that phase two is finally about to begin. Kate questions what is going on, why she’s tied up, and where Marlena and Kayla are. Kate asks who the hell Megan thinks she is. Megan argues that Kate is not in a position of power and she is, so she advises Kate to not try to infuriate her. Megan remarks that life is short so they should all try to get along as best they can. Kate asks where Marlena and Kayla are and if they are okay. Megan assures they are absolutely fine. Kate thinks they have different definitions of absolutely fine. Megan states that they aren’t dead. Megan calls Kate a pain in the ass. Kate brings up that Stefano thought she was delightful, but he had a sense of humor. Megan says she has something very important to discuss with Kate but Kate doesn’t want to discuss anything with her. Kate tells Megan that she needs to let her, Kayla, and Marlena go back to their husbands.

Lucas tells Roman that he didn’t even know of Megan Hathaway so he questions how he could know anything. Roman says they didn’t know that but thought maybe Kate may have mentioned something while married to Stefano. Roman admits they are grasping at straws. Roman says Steve and John are in touch with the ISA but it seems at this point that Megan has vanished in to thin air. Lucas notes that Stefano could do that too. Lucas questions why a woman who had been dead for 40 years would come back to kill his mother when she didn’t even know her. Lucas insists that he never heard Kate or Stefano even say the name Megan Hathaway. Roman doesn’t think Kate was the real target as he figures Megan was after Kayla and Marlena.

Kayla wonders if Kate found a way out and left them behind. Marlena says if Kate did, she must have planned it. Marlena figures Megan would have security cameras everywhere. Marlena tries the door but it’s locked. Marlena notes that if Kate got out, she wouldn’t have locked the door behind her so Megan must have done that. Kayla says she’s getting really tired of Megan. Marlena brings up Megan talking about her plan and wonders if Kate was part of that plan. Marlena declares that they have to find a way out. Marlena pulls back a curtain to find another cryogenic cylinder and wonders who the hell was in there.

John explains to Paul that he and Steve are hoping that Andrew can help them track down Megan Hathaway. Paul notes that Andrew never mentioned Megan to him and asks if John wants a beer. John encourages Paul not to take it personally that Andrew kept it from him since ISA agents can’t really bring their work home with them. Paul says it’s not like that and reveals that he and Andrew are not really talking about anything.

Steve thinks Andrew has an idea where Megan Hathaway is, so he doesn’t understand why he won’t tell him. Andrew responds that Steve and John don’t have clearance. Steve reminds him how long he and John have been doing the ISA’s dirty work and says he can ask his father. Andrew says that he grew up on the stories and everybody here respects their history. Steve argues that now they are trying to find the woman responsible for the death of their wives and questions why they don’t have clearance. Andrew then reveals that there is a concern that Steve and John have been compromised.

Paul tells John that it’s not like he and Andrew had a falling out like a big fight or anything and they did get along. John questions what happened then since he said they had a lot of chemistry in Hong Kong. Paul explains that they had a great time but then reality set in that Andrew lives in Washington DC while Paul lives in San Francisco and Andrew has a demanding job while Paul is becoming a baseball coach. Paul says that long distance relationships involve a lot of logistics. John mocks the idea that they can’t make adjustments. John tells Paul that he can convince himself that it’s too complicated to be with someone who makes him happy.

Steve questions what Andrew means by saying they were compromised. Andrew brings up that last summer in Hong Kong, Steve and John were Megan’s hired muscle. Steve clarifies that they were brainwashed. Andrew notes that it was pretty effective since they held a whole room hostage and held a gun to Wendy Shin’s head. Steve argues that they were under Megan’s control. Andrew asks how they know that they’re not now and notes that some people in the department are suspicious. Steve complains about having to prove it and asks why Andrew doesn’t believe it. Andrew recalls being there when Paul got through to John and broke Megan’s spell.

Megan understands Kate’s desire to go back to Salem and their lives, but she can’t allow that because phase two is about to begin and her participation is non-negotiable. Kate questions what that even means as she didn’t even know there was a phase one. Megan tells Kate that they don’t need to know as they are just chess pieces on the board and pawns in someone else’s game. Kate asks if John, Roman, and Steve are pawns as well since they believe they are all dead. Megan responds that they believe they are dead because someone took the only thing that could’ve saved their lives. Megan then presents the orchid.

Roman tells Lucas that Kayla and Marlena stopped Megan’s plan and Kate had nothing to do with it, so it looks like Kate died for no good reason and that’s why they have to find Megan and make her pay for what she did. Lucas complains that it won’t bring his mom back. Lucas knows it’s been hard for Roman too, so he asks how he’s doing. Roman says he has a lot of people looking out for him. Roman brings up Abe coming to see him and comparing it to when he lost Lexie. Roman recalls how much time they wasted and how happy he and Kate were when they finally got back together. Roman declares that now he has to face the reality that he will never see Kate again and he’s pretty sure John and Steve feel the same way.

Marlena and Kayla note that the cryogenic chamber they found is powered down and the locks have been released, but there’s no one in it now. Kayla says Megan had to have let whoever it was go. Marlena says she’s no expert but that one looks a lot older. Marlena adds that Megan said she never throws anything away. Kayla recalls that Megan told Steve and John that she was cryogenically frozen after she was presumed dead, so maybe that’s where she was stashed. Marlena asks about the prisms since Megan said she wanted those to help cure someone she cares about and someone they all thought was dead. Marlena wonders who was in the tube. Kayla thinks she knows.

Lucas knows it’s not exactly the same and that he has no right telling this to Roman, but says the way Roman feels about Kate is the same way he feels about Sami. Roman points out that Sami’s not dead. Lucas says he is pretty much dead to her and that she will never forgive him. Lucas adds that he’s never loved anyone the way he loved Sami and he will never have a chance to get her back as he knows he blew that. Lucas knows Sami and Roman will never forgive him so he’s really appreciative that Roman visits him and tells him what’s going on even though he doesn’t deserve it. Roman acknowledges that Lucas is Kate’s son and Kate did forgive and love him. Roman thinks that in a way, them talking to each other like this is a good way to honor Kate’s memory.

Megan tells Kate that the orchid was how she revived her and countered the toxins that Orpheus gave her. Kate calls it weird to think about her life depending on a flower. Megan reveals that she had someone administer the necessary second dose and that is why they are still here. Megan adds that the orchid’s healing power is not restricted to just what ailed them. Megan reveals that she took the orchid because she needed to cure her own condition along with someone who is very dear to her.

Marlena questions if Kayla thinks it was Stefano. Kayla suggests Megan could have kept him on ice and now has the three prisms. Kayla then decides that even if Stefano’s body could have been preserved, he would just be a shell since his spirit was taken from his body and put on a microchip that was inserted in Steve’s head. Kayla adds that she then removed it and then Chad and Tony burned it. Marlena decides that Stefano is gone and dead then. Kayla agrees that he has to be.

Steve tells Andrew that his wife is dead and John’s wife is dead because of Megan, so he questions how they could think they would be helping her. Andrew assures that he doesn’t think that and he wants justice for Kayla just as much. Steve complains that Kayla is gone and the ISA has decided they can’t be trusted with clearance. Steve says they are going to keep looking for Megan and are going to find her whether he helps them or not. Steve tells Andrew to get back to his busy work and to say hello to his dad for him. Steve goes to leave the office but Andrew stops him and pulls up their file on Megan Hathaway. Andrew reveals that because he has clearance, he can view it whenever he wants, he’s just not at liberty to share it with him. Andrew then states that he can offer him a “cup of coffee” from down the hall which might take him three or four minutes. Steve accepts and thanks him as Andrew then exits the office, allowing Steve to take a look at his computer with the file on Megan Hathaway.

John apologizes to Paul and says he shouldn’t have said anything when it’s really none of his business. John then gets a call from Steve, who tells him that he might have a possible location on Megan Hathaway. Steve calls it a long shot while John calls it their only shot right now. Steve asks how fast he can get to the airport.

Marlena tells Kayla that she doesn’t think they have to worry too much about who was in that tube because right now, she thinks Megan has Kate and if so, she thinks things are going to be changing around here soon so they better get out while they still can. Kayla agrees that they need to find a way through the door. Marlena thinks they’re not going to break it down. Kayla says they have to start getting smart about this.

Paul offers to give John a ride to the airport but John says he’s fine. Paul argues that John could get two tickets to where ever he is going that he called his only shot. John calls it a figure of speech. Paul argues that they were just in a heated discussion about his love life and general failing at life and then Steve calls and he’s out of here. Paul says he knows it’s important, urgent, and probably dangerous. Paul tells John to let him help him and come with him. John says no because he and Steve need to do this on their own. Paul asks him to be careful because he doesn’t want to fly halfway around the world to save his ass again. John jokes that he’ll never hear the end of that. John apologizes again for talking to him like he did before and says he didn’t deserve that. Paul understands that it must be frustrating for John to lose Marlena and then see him all alone and not doing anything about it. John says it’s none of his business. Paul acknowledges that John is his dad so he has a point. Paul understands John has enough on his plate without worrying about him. John thanks him and says he has to run. Paul tells him to let him know if he’s okay when he can because he worries about him. John hugs Paul and wishes him luck coaching this weekend. John then exits the apartment.

Roman tells Lucas that he’s going to check in with John and Steve to see if they are having any luck. Lucas asks him to keep him posted which he agrees to do. Roman then exits the prison.

Kate questions Megan saying she had to use the orchid to remedy her own condition. Kate asks if she’s sure she really did that because she’s not looking so great. Megan blames the lighting and insists that she’s fine. Megan reminds Kate that she cured her of dying. Kate asks if she’s expected to thank her. Megan calls Kate her a pain in the ass again which erases any hesitation she had of proceeding which Kate questions. Megan reveals that Kate is going to be her guinea pig for a serum she had made that comes with the condition that what doesn’t make her stronger could kill her. Megan doesn’t see any reason for her to take that risk when she has Kate here to do a trial run on.

Later that evening, Paul sits at home and looks at a photo of Andrew on his phone. Paul thinks back to he and Andrew kissing until there’s a knock at his door. Paul answers the door and is surprised to see Andrew.

John and Steve arrive at their destination and talk about not finding a trace that Megan Hathaway was ever there. Steve notes that the ISA analyst put the odds at 12%. John feels those are not good odds but Steve points out it’s the only lead they’ve got. Steve says the ISA checked it out before but maybe they missed something and asks if John wants to stop. John declares that they are not going to stop until they find Megan and make her pay. John tries the door but it’s locked. Steve asks if John has his lockpick. John says no because he thought Steve was bringing his. Steve reveals that ISA security confiscated it. John asks what he wants to do then.

Kate remains tied up in a chair as Megan returns with the serum. Megan then admits that she’s not yet fully recovered from being dead but she’s told that this serum could be the answer to her prayers. Kate asks why not use it on herself then. Megan says while it might take care of what she needs, it does come with the one off chance of an unpleasant side effect; death. Kate suggests Megan try something homeopathic first then. Megan wants to do a trial run on Kate. Megan says that if it doesn’t kill Kate, it could potentially have extraordinary effects that she’ll thank her for later. Megan adds that if it does happen to kill Kate, maybe someone will bring her back to life again.

Kayla gets a wire off the cryogenic chamber and explains to Marlena how Steve taught her how to pick a lock with a wire. Marlena hopes Steve taught her well as Kayla begins trying to pick the lock of the door.

Steve returns to John with a wire he got off the heating unit around the corner and begins trying to pick the lock on the door.

Kate asks Megan if she can say something before Megan injects her. Megan tells her to make her final last words snappy. Kate says it will be short and just a sentence. Kate declares that the rope on her hands wasn’t tight and calls her a dumb bitch as Kate stands up and knocks Megan out with a punch.

Kayla successfully picks the lock on the door. Kayla goes to open it but hears movement on the other side.

Steve and John pick the lock as well from their end. Steve and John then open the door with their guns raised.

Kayla and Marlena are surprised when the door opens.

Roman goes to the Brady Pub and talks to Kate’s urn about how he misses her and hasn’t heard her voice in awhile. Roman says if there’s a way for her to reach out to him again, he knows she’ll make that happen.

After knocking out Megan, Kate escapes and runs in to Bo Brady!

Recap written by Michele and Cheryl

Li and Gabi got into an argument when they talked about him tracking her phone. He reminded her about the clause in their contract about the shares. He reminded her that if she’s with Stefan, she will ruin her chances of running DiMera Enterprises. She was more determined than ever to get the shares and run the company with Stefan. EJ and Stefan had a conversation. EJ called him out for going back on his promise to forgive him for not saying anything about the brainwashing. EJ wanted to know if they were at war. Stefan told him they were at war. EJ was impressed that he came up with the drug. Stefan was equally impressed that he figured out that he was drugging him. Stefan got coffee. They went back and forth about whether it was drugged. They continued to talk about the company. They ended up talking about how important family is and how they slept with Abby. EJ told him that she wasn’t married and was in her right frame of mind when he slept with her. EJ reminded Stefan that Gabi wasn’t to be trusted. He told him that she was only interested in success. She didn’t care if she had to get Stefan out of her way to get it. Stefan told him that they loved each other. EJ and Stefan agreed that they didn’t want to risk the company over their war.

Recap written by Michele and Cheryl

Megan walked in the secret lab and looked at Marlena, Kayla and Kate in their pods. She said there was so much work that needed to be done. When Marlena and Kayla woke up, they noticed that Kate was missing. Kate was tied up in a chair in another room with Megan. Megan told her Phase 2 of her plan was about to begin. Kate asked her what was going on. Megan told her not to upset her. She said Kate’s involvement in her next plan was non-negotiable. She said Kate and the others were pawns in a game they don’t know about. Megan pulled out the orchid. She said she used it to counter Orpheus’ poisoning so she could save their lives. She said the flower could heal more than just the one toxin. She said she needed to fix her own condition and someone close to her. Kate said Megan didn’t look too great. She said Megan might still be sick. Kate kept making fun of her. Megan told her she was going to be her guinea pig to test her serum in case it is deadly. Kayla told Marlena that she wondered if Kate left to save herself. Marlena didn’t think she did, but she wondered if Kate was a part of Megan’s plan. Marlena saw a curtain and opened it. They saw Bo’s pod. Marlena thought the pod was older than theirs. They wondered who Megan could be saving. Kayla thought it could be Stefano. She said he would be an empty shell because his soul was a microchip that got burned so it couldn’t be him. She said it didn’t matter because Megan had Kate. She said they needed to get smart about getting out.

Andrew wanted to know why Steve was in Washington. Steve said he needed help to find Megan. Andrew said she wasn’t his case. He said he could give him the name of the agent in charge of Megan. Steve said he felt like he was getting the runaround with him which was why he came to see him in person. Andrew told him that he and John didn’t have clearance. He said they did enough dirty work for the ISA. He said forget about clearance. He said there was concern that he and John were compromised. He said they were brainwashed so how could the ISA know they weren’t still brainwashed. He questioned whether the DiMeras were involved. He said he didn’t believe it. When Steve was ready to leave, Andrew pulled out Megan’s file. John went to see Paul. John told him about Megan. He said he was hoping Andrew could help. Paul said he and Andrew weren’t talking anymore. John told him he should have tried to make things work. While they were talking, Steve called him with news about Megan. Paul offered to go with John. He said he could tell it was dangerous and wanted to help. John said he and Steve needed to do this on their own. Paul understood and wanted him to let him know what happens. Roman went to see Lucas. He told Lucas about Megan. Lucas didn’t know who she was. Roman told him about Megan’s history. Roman said he was there to find out what he knew. Roman said he hoped Kate might have mentioned something to him about Megan when she was with Stefano. Lucas said she didn’t. Roman said Megan was after Kayla and Marlena. He said Kate was collateral damage. They ended up talking about Lucas losing Sami. Kayla puled a spring out of Bo’s pod. She used it to pick the lock. When the door opened, she and Marlena were shocked. John and Steve looked through a DiMera location. They opened a door and were surprised. Megan had the serum and told Kate that she hasn’t fully recovered from being dead. She said the serum should fix her. She said it was time to use the serum. She said if Kate didn’t die, it would have good effects. She asked if Kate had any last words. Kate told her the ropes weren’t tight and punched her. When she walked out, she saw Bo.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

You didn’t push your plate away without eating anything. I’m gonna take that as a good sign. Take it any way you want, Gabby. I will do anything. Anything to get back in your good grace. Well, it’s gonna take a lot more than scrambled eggs. Scrambled eggs with Teresa, and I’m a patient man. After six months, I’m gonna wait on time.

We need to cut it down on these fattening breakfasts, if you remember. I do have other talents.

I’m gonna get going now. Where are you off to? Well, why don’t you just track my phone and you’ll figure it out yourself? I’m assuming you turned it off. Right. Wouldn’t want to keep Stephan waiting.

I heard you talking to the old man when I came in asking for more words of wisdom on how to screw me over. I wouldn’t try playing the Mato. You can’t pull that off. I know what you mean. Of course you do. We were in this very room when I told you that I knew what Rolfe and Kristen were doing to you, and I kept silent.

You thanked me for being honest and then assured me that you could get past that as long as I made sure that you or my partner in the running of the company, I upheld my half of the bargain. You responded by dragging me. Hmm. Well, after we made that agreement, I had some time to think. And I remembered all the months that you spent watching me make a fool of myself over Chloe.

And you kept your mouth shut. I was breaking Gabby’s heart. And you knew why, but you didn’t give a damn. So you tried to make me look incompetent in front of way shin last night. Every word you said prior to that about forgiveness, about working together was a lie, wasn’t it? This is all, damn right. It is.

I beg your pardon? Hmm. Oh yeah. You heard me? I. I spent last night shagging, Alex, Kiki. I know I hurt you and you wanna get back at me, but you might want to come up with something I might actually believe. Do you think I’m lying? Yeah, I do. You know, there’s no love loss between Alex and me, and you’re just trying to stick it to me, right?

Wow. You really do think that you are God’s gift, don’t you? Well, Sorry to burst your bubble, darling, but Alex did stick it to me all night long. In fact,

how exactly did I ruin your career? You know exactly what you did. Lady below my whistle, uh, it’s lady whistleblower, if you don’t mind. Unless you’re extending an invitation, pigs will fly first. Leo. Now, because of you and your stupid little column, I didn’t get made. C e o of Titan. Do you know what I do to guys like you?

I’d love to find out. Let me give you a hint When I’m through with you, you will not be able to whistle anything.

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

Do you want me to show you the contract you signed? Do you want to see the clause that says if you commit adultery during our six month trial period, our deal is off? That’s not necessary. Is a mid-morning role in the hay really worth losing your chance to run DER Enterprises? I said I agree to the terms.

I won’t be sleeping with anybody or Stephan until this farce of a marriage is over. Means seven and I waited four long years. We can wait another six months, especially if it means that we’ll be running to mayor together. You sound more determined than ever. You catch on quick. Now get out of my way.

What are you doing here? Oh and a pleasant good morning to you too.

I thought we were going to draw a line across the past and forge a new relationship. Yeah. That was you, but you never had any intention in doing that. You were counting on me to trust you long enough to allow you to strike if I knew that you had been brainwashed and I kept my mouth. , would you really believe me if I told you things would be different from here on out?

Probably not.

We are both his sons. After all, you know, I have to give you credit for slipping me that drug he used. I really didn’t understand what was happening to me. Now, don’t be so modest. You figured out exactly what was going on. And you flipped the script, just like a move on that chessboard over there. Now it’s my turn to play,

so I tell you that I’m not over Sarah, and you seek out my cousin to get revenge.

If only your brain were as massive as you. Ego zander, Alex, being related to you, had nothing to do with what happened. We met and had a few too many, and then I asked him to come home with me. That’s it. Classic. Oh, you wanna talk to me about morality? Really you, you do know that Alex is just using you right?

To what end? Well, he was in the mood and you were there. You know he is shagged half the girls in town. Since he came back to Salem, you was just another notch on his bed quote. Really? What should I do then? Should I go have a little cry? Should I, don’t you confuse me with Sarah? No, it’ll never happen. You know what?

We really hit it off. We were in bed all night long together. I didn’t even think about you. One. I know that’s a tough act. It’s what you pull when you don’t have anything else. Look, credit. Alex is a player. He always has been. I don’t, I just don’t wanna see him hurt you. Oh, but you’ve got no bloody problem hurting yourself, do you?

Can we dial this back a notch? No, no. I like it dialed right where it is. All I did was ask your uncle to gimme a quote for my column. I didn’t know he was thinking of naming you. C e o. My uncle’s the most powerful guy in this town, Leo and ya PR in and told him how I got it on with two women. How did you think that was gonna turn out for me?

He gave my job to his wife. I know Chad told me I couldn’t believe. I thought Maggie Horton curio skillset was baking cookies and butting into other people’s business. Well, now she can add running a major corporation to her resume. And that’s because of you. Would it change things if I told you I was very, very sorry.

I wanted my very first column to be clickbait. You’re lucky I don’t use you as bait. Does that mean you’re no longer feeling homicidal?

I’m gonna make you a deal. Tell me where to sign. Keep my name outta your mouth and out of your little column, and maybe I will let you live.

Hey, trip. Hey, Wendy. What are you doing there? You left without having breakfast this morning. And how do you know You usually make the coffee? Well, yeah, I overslept. I was Ryan late. Yeah, I figured it was that. I was afraid you’d get lightheaded when talking to a patient or something. Wow. You didn’t have to do this.

Yeah, I did feel bad that you got in trouble here. That was not your fault. Hey, if anyone should feel guilty, it’s Johnny. Your boyfriend needs to learn to mind his own damn business.

Come on in. You’re here pretty early, aren’t you? Gabby and I were just having breakfast. Oh, I’m sorry. I can come back later if you want. Oh, don’t worry about it. Breakfast is over Unless you want Ali to whip you up some of his famous eggs. No, I, I had something. Thanks. Uh, I just, just came by to see Wendy.

She was up and uh, out pretty early. I think she was headed to the office. Actually, she told me she was gone to the hospital. Is she all right? Oh yeah. She said she had to talk to Tripp. I guess the two of them have gotten pretty close since he moved in here.

Is this doctored? No, I had a cup from the very same pole, and I’m just supposed to. Take your word on that. I found out you were drugging me. What did you expect me to do? Forgive him for death. I wonder what our father would say if he knew that you fell in with a creep like Lee Shin against your own brother.

If you’d ever met Father, you wouldn’t ask that question. My mother told me plenty about him. How is dear Vivian finding ways to occupy herself at Statesville?

She told me he wasn’t without his faults, but that he put family above everything else. And where was your sense of family values when you seduced Chad’s wife, you really want to go there? They weren’t married when I had my affair with Abigail, and she was also right in the mind measure. Rest in peace.

Well, for what it’s worth, what happened with me and Abigail. I’m not proud of it. I know what it is to regret your actions and what you did to me and Gabby that on your list of regrets. Absolutely. In fact, I thought Roe and Lee, what they did to you was a favor. You gotta help a lot of nerves saying that you may have idealized Gabriela, but I have not.

She will do anything for power. So you keep that in mind. Hmm? You resent her because she’s made it on her own. She built her business from nothing. Now you. You were born on third base and you walk around in this world like you hit a triple

and will be amusing to watch from the sidelines. If the two of you manage to take over the mirror enterprises, I wonder how long it will take before Gabby starts viewing you as the obstacle to her success. Now, we’ve already fought that war and we’ve realized that our love is the most important thing to us.

We’re determined to be together now, and Iran Father’s Company the way we want. The only obstacle in the way is you.

Come on. I’ve told you how. Sorry am for the way I treats you. Oh, father, just shove your bloody apologies, will you? I’ve heard it all Before you dangle this life in front of me so that I’ll do whatever you want while you secretly pine for Sarah to come back to you. Well, you know,

I am over wanting you. Did your night with my cousin convince you of her? Whether it did or not is none of your business. Why are you still here? Anyway, go on. You said that I should be running the paper, didn’t you? Or was that just another night?

Leaving so soon. Well, Maggie wants to be in the office by noon. Did I already tell you I hit your guts? Oh, dear. And here I thought all that was behind us. Yeah. Well, you thought wrong. Well, wow. You were showering in my bathroom. I thought of some questions I’d like to ask. I’m not telling you anything. Oh, come on.

I’m dying to know about your butting romance. What? Butting romance with Gwen, my B fff.

Do you remember saying that The Spectator is my father’s newspaper and so that I should run it? Sure. I do. I still have half an interest. I’m gonna protect that interest. Well, you know what? You can do that without breathing down my bloody neck. And from now on, you don’t get to ask me what I do in my off hours.

I came here to work. You’re the one I had to start talking about last night. I only did that because you patronizingly assumed that I was weeping over you all night. Do you know what Quinn? This is getting of snow miss. So let’s just, right. Yeah. Finally there’s something we finally agree on Zander. I’m gonna work for more motel room.

The last thing I’ve ever want to do is breathe down your neck. You know, maybe next time we see each other we can try to be civilized. Oh, you really civilized. Oh, . That would be a very refreshing change, wouldn’t it?

Will. I guess I’ll, uh, try and catch up with Wendy. Word of advice. Let her call you. Seemed like she had something very important to talk to Chip about, but she told you that I picked up on it. Don’t, don’t listen to him. Okay, Johnny, if you wanna go, fine Wendy, do it. I’m sure she’ll be happy to see you. Okay, uh, we’ll see you guys later.

What was that about? Why are you giving Johnny such a hard time? I don’t trust that kid. He’s a bad influence on Jing one. Oh, that’s right. He influenced her to go to Jakarta and then figure out what you and Ralf were doing to Stephan. It’s not just that he’s pursuing Wendy while he is still involved with his ex-wife.

He and Chanel are just friendly exes and there’s nothing wrong with that. Yeah, I still don’t trust the guy. You have the nerve to judge somebody on their trustworthiness. I have a duty to look out for my sister. Wendy can look out for herself. Oh wait. That’s right. That’s not how you do things. So why don’t you just call your buddy up, Rolf, have him brainwash Wendy.

Out of caring about Johnny. Gabby. Wait, see what now? What? I have something.

Something you are going to absolutely love.

You know, I really gotta think of something nice to do for John about him. I never would’ve realized that you turned, the tables started drugging me. Johnny enjoy is trying to aggravate me, but he’s still my son. Hmm. I don’t know. He’s got a lot of Brady in him. The honesty, strong sense of what’s right, what’s not

You do remember Samantha Brady is his mother. Nah, skip the generation. It happens. So what now? Ej? Hmm? You drugged me. I drugged you. Or even. Ostensibly, I don’t think either of us wants to jeopardize Damara. I agree.

So I suppose I’m going to have to accept the fact that you and Gabriela are intent on finding your way back to one another, which may result in my having to share the running of my father’s empire with the two of you. And will you accept that gracefully? Oh, I, here I have six more months and probably I have to make up my mind about that flat.

Hmm. Okay. . Okay. That was great. Mm-hmm. . I didn’t realize I was hungry. I was, yeah. You put that burrito away in record time. Mm-hmm. . Oh, my dad says I have a trash compact over my stomach. Should be. Ah-huh. Yeah. Well you are a growing boy. That’s just something my father used to say to Lee whenever he was on his third helping of something.

Mm-hmm.

you what? Have a little.

No, you’re perfect.

What is this it? Find out. Oh, mate, I don’t hear any ticking. You went shopping at Saxtons. It’s your favorite store, isn’t it?

Don’t tell me it’s that person. I was going crazy over at dinner. Is that papers? Is this what I’m supposed to be excited over? Hmm? Read what’s on Them. Business proposal. Hey, what did you do? Now, word on the street is the CEO of Saxtons is looking to partner with a fashion brand for an exclusive collection.

This is your idea of a joke. This is not funny. I lost Gabby Sheik to ej. I’ve, I was having you try to buy it back and you couldn’t. EJ may have taken away your company, but he couldn’t take away your talent. You made a success out of Gabby Sheik, and you could do the same thing with a new company, right,

a little early to be dipping into the hard stuff Now. And how do you propose to this new era of Daytons with coffee? Well, can you put it that way?

To family and to two prodigal sons who’ve joined forces to hold onto an empire. It’s a family.

You don’t know when to quit. Excuse me, don’t play dumb with me. You’re not interested in me and Gwen, because she’s your homegirl. You’re trying to get dirt for your sleazy little column. Uh, first of all, lady Whistleblower is not sleazy. And second Gwen isn’t just my friend or my editor. She also owns the paper I write for, well, her end Zander.

Please don’t say his name. My point is, Alex, is that Gwen would never publish episodes from her own life no matter how scintillating they.

What does sound like her? Thank you. So just how scintillating was it? I’m kidding. But in all seriousness, Gwen is my best friend in the entire world, and I’ve already seen one Kiki man hurt her. If you think I am going to stand by and watch another one, use and lose her. You don’t know me very well. Well, I’ll be damned.

Leo Stark actually gives a damn about something besides himself. Don’t let that get around. I have an image to maintain. I ain’t gotta worry about that. Secret’s safe with me, pal. It’s always Gwen because we’re just friends. So if you would, excuse me, I need to get to work. Me too. After you

now, you’re all good to go. Thank you. Johnny, what are you doing here? I came to make things bright. How are you gonna do that? Well, you can gimme the name of your supervisor. I will talk to him or her. Tell him that I, that I was the one who took your id. I, I got the lab results and you had nothing to do with it.

Just let it go. Okay. I can’t do that. Look, I’m the reason you got in trouble. Okay? You’re a doctor. I messed with your professional reputation. That was wrong. I know it was wrong. Yeah. And all I got was a slap on the wrist. All right. It’ll die down unless you go and speak to my supervisor and stir it back all up again.

Is that true? Yes. Hey, best thing you can do for me right now is just stay out of this.

You think I’m just gonna drop everything and launch another fashion line with a a local department store. The CEO of Saxton is serious about growing her business. You’re a media influencer. loaded with design talent, you’d be perfect for them. That’s starting another line that even the pitch takes a ton of work.

It’d be worth it. My friend at Saxon’s is dying to hear from you. I don’t, I can’t even think of a name for the label right now. Oh, I’ve been thinking about that. Uh, yeah, I bet you have. Okay. How about pos of Shin? Oh, you’re gonna make me laugh, please. Okay. Gabby Shin original. Gabriel limited. You know what?

You need to stop. You need to stop this. Okay? Okay. We’ll table the discussion about the name for now, but Gabby, think about it. This could be a huge opportunity for you. I know what this is. You think that you could just sh dangle something shiny in front of me, like a whole new company of my very own, and, and I’m just gonna forget about the C position at Damara.

If you keep me busy enough, I’m gonna just forget about Stephanie and run back into your arms too, you know? Gabby, that is not what I’m doing. Damn it. Okay, I’m on your side. EJ swindled you out of Gabby Sheik, and he’s gonna make sure you don’t get within a mile of Dera Enterprises and I can’t get you back what you lost.

Okay? But I can do everything in my power to help you reclaim yourself as an entrepreneur. I’m serious, Gabby. I believe in you.

I, I have to go look. Just do me a favor, okay? Look over what’s in that box. If it sparks anything in you, you already have an in it. Saxons, whether you want to use it or not is up to you.

Is that text am mayor. Speaking. Hmm. I’m gonna head to the office. A lot of work to get done. Now that games are over, we’re working together. I’ll be alone in a bit. So you’re sending a text about the merit business and you won’t tell me what it’s about. You’re gonna be late to the office. And you’re not telling me why.

It’s your idea of a hunt. You have nothing to worry about from me. Let’s see about that.

Stephan thinks he has his guard up now, but I can still destroy him and he’ll never see the fin break the water because he wasn’t taught by the best like I was.

Julie’s place has been running a full page ad since they opened, I mean, They can’t cancel. We need the revenue. You know what? I’ll just deal with this later. Thank you for telling me. Yeah. Bloody hell. You are late. I didn’t realize I was supposed to clock in. Why are you so stressed? Because I’m trying to publish and edit a digital news source that needs to turn a profit in order to survive.

That’s why. Sounds like somebody needs another marathon night in the sack with her new boyfriend.

Keep walking. You stay the hell away from gr.

And if I don’t stay away from Gwen’s check, what are you gonna do about it? Believe me, Alex, you do not want to know what is with you cause huh? You don’t want Gwen, but nobody else can have her. You don’t know anything about her. Gwen and me, just stay away from her. I’ll meet you. Pay, you’re gonna dress up like a clown again.

Drag me off in a Uncle Vic’s gardening shed. Oh wait, you only do that to women who can’t defend themselves. Speaking of women, Harry enjoying saying, yes, mom. No, mom to Aunt Maggie. Well, we do have one big thing in common. We both can’t stand you. . You thought you had that job and we were so up, didn’t you?

Kind of like you did when he got passed over for Phillip, but can you really blame Uncle Vic Phillip’s? His. You were just the poor relation. He kept the round out of the goodness of his heart. Look, you spoiled, cocky, little piss son. I haven’t taken care a law back when I’ve seen the way you treat women as opposed to you, sir.

A had. She doesn’t need you pounding your chest, taking your claim to her like you’re a feminist. I mean, Gwen’s a grown woman, one who seems more than capable of choosing who she wants to be with. This is your last warning. Stay away from Gwen. We will regret it.

Pures bud is Zand. How so?

I had to tell him that Alex isn’t the love of my life and we just shagged. One night and that’s it. Sander knows that you did it with his cousin. I told him this morning. How did he take it? He wasn’t thrilled. Oh my God. This is perfect. How is this perfect? Vir? You lack my vision, sweetie. You are in the perfect position to use one Keio as to make the other.

Curio is crazy with jealous. I know I’m not interested in making Zander jealous. Okay, fine. How about we make him suffer?

You know, I, I’d really feel a lot better if you love me, make this up to you, but if, if you want me to butt out, then I do. Yes. Okay. Well then I will just say that I’m really sorry. I have to get back on the grounds. Thanks. Give for breakfast anytime.

Hello? He’s definitely not over this. I guess I’ll be seeing you, Johnny.

I do appreciate you trying to make things right. Well, that was the least I could do. I was, I was so set on finding out if my dad was right about stuff and using drugs that I just, I took his ID without even thinking about what it might do to him or what you might think of me, but you admitted you were wrong and you were ready to take the blame.

What guys wanna do that? He made me proud.

I could have my very own fashion line again.

What are you adding, Mike? Coming here. What? And doing that. Come back second. You can have spies all over the building. Calm down, calm down. Calm down. You can just ruin everything we’ve been working for. I made sure I wasn’t filed. Okay. I watched the building until I made sure that bastard was gone. Why take the chance?

Because something happened with ej. Tell me. Oh, we had it out and then we agreed to start working. So he’s over you drugging him. Oh, no way. But he started talking about how we should declare a truce. How we should band together his brothers to protect Damara. Sounds like a bunch of crap. A hundred percent, but I agreed to it.

Why? Because he needs to believe that we’re on good terms. It’s gonna make it easier to oust him in the long run. Okay, but you better sleep with one eye open. I know what I’m doing. I’m gonna end up running my father’s company. Put the woman of my dreams.

Okay, but you can’t keep doing this. You can’t, can’t do this because Lee Lee brainwash you. God knows what else he could do to you. You’re right, you and I, we’re gonna get everything we want and EJ is not gonna see it coming.

Sorry about making you go round the back. I couldn’t risk the two of us being seen together. Servants like a gossip coffee. I’d rather have answers. I don’t like being summoned, especially by the guy who fired me. My, I had no choice in that matter, and that doesn’t mean that we can’t be allies secretly, of course.

What are you babbling about? What sort of alliance could you and I possibly form? I was thinking of helping you hold onto your life.

How do you intend to do that? I have no idea that’s why you are here, but I think you and I need to come up with a plan to ensure that you remain married to Gabby permanently. What’s in it for you? The satisfaction of knowing that I finally succeeded in prying her, grasping little fingers off my brother.

And off our family fortune.

Gabi points out that she and Stefan waiting four long years, so they can wait another six months, especially if it means they will be running DiMera together. Li notes that she sounds more determined than ever. Gabi tells him to get out of her way and goes to leave right as Johnny arrives. Gabi questions what he’s doing here.

EJ tells Stefan that he thought they drew a line in the past to forge a new relationship but guesses Stefan never had any intention of doing that. EJ realizes Stefan was counting on EJ to trust him long enough for him to strike. Stefan argues that if he knew EJ had been brainwashed and he kept his mouth shut, EJ wouldn’t believe him if he said things would be different. EJ agrees and remarks that they are both Stefano’s son. EJ credits Stefan for drugging him and says he had no idea what was happening but Stefan tells him not to be so modest and that he knew exactly what was going on, so he flipped the script, just like a move on the chess board. Stefan declares now it’s his turn to play.

Xander questions Gwen seeking out his cousin to get revenge on him for not being over Sarah. Gwen argues that Alex being related to him had nothing to do with what happened. Gwen says they met, had a few too many, and then she asked him to come home with her. Xander sarcastically calls that classy and argues that Alex is just using her. Xander complains that Alex has shagged half the girls in town, so she’s just another notch in his bedpost. Gwen mocks the idea that she should go cry and tells him not to confuse her with Sarah, which Xander assures will never happen. Gwen tells Xander that she and Alex really hit it off and were in bed all night so she never even thought about him. Xander argues that she pulls this tough act when she doesn’t have anything else. Xander tells Gwen that Alex is a player and always has been, so he doesn’t want to see him hurt her. Gwen remarks that Xander has no problem hurting her himself.

Leo tells Alex that all he did was ask Victor for a quote for his column and he had no idea he was thinking of naming Alex CEO. Alex argues that Victor is the most powerful guy in town and Leo pranced in to tell him how he got it on with two women. Alex asks how Leo thought that would turn out for him and that Victor gave the job to his wife. Leo mentions that Chad told him and he couldn’t believe it as he thought Maggie’s skillset was baking cookies and butting in to other peoples’ business. Alex responds that now she can add running a major corporation to the list. Leo asks if it would change things if he told him he was very sorry. Leo admits he wanted his very first column to be clickbait. Alex responds that Leo’s lucky he’s not using him as bait. Leo asks if that means he’s no longer feeling homicidal. Alex warns Leo to keep his name out of his mouth and his column and maybe he’ll let him live.

Wendy goes to the hospital and brings Tripp coffee and breakfast, noting that she knows he left without because he usually makes the coffee. Tripp admits he overslept as he thanks her and says she didn’t have to do that. Wendy feels she did and she’s sorry that he got in trouble. Tripp assures that was not her fault. Tripp states that if anyone should feel guilty, it’s Johnny, who needs to learn to mind his own damn business.

Li questions Johnny being there early when he and Gabi were just having breakfast. Johnny says he can come back later but Gabi tells him not to worry as breakfast is over. Johnny tells them that he just came to see Wendy but Gabi says she was up pretty early and thinks she was heading to the office. Li reveals that Wendy actually told him that she was going to the hospital because she had to talk to Tripp. Li guesses they have gotten pretty close since Tripp moved in.

EJ tells Stefan that he found out he was drugging him and asks if he just expected him to forgive and forget. Stefan wonders what Stefano would say if he found out that EJ fell in with a creep like Li Shin against his own brother. EJ responds that if he ever met Stefano, he wouldn’t ask that question. Stefan says his mother told him a lot about him. EJ asks how Vivian is and if she’s occupying her time in prison. Stefan brings up that Vivian told him that Stefano put family above all else. EJ questions where Stefan’s family values were when he seduced Chad’s wife. Stefan asks if he really wants to go there. EJ points out that they weren’t married when he had his affair with Abigail and she was also in her right mind then. Stefan tells EJ that he’s not proud of what happened with he and Abigail. EJ relates to regretting your actions. Stefan asks if EJ regrets what he did to he and Gabi. EJ says absolutely not as he thought Dr. Rolf and Li did him a favor. Stefan says he has a lot of nerve saying that. EJ warns that Gabi will do anything for power. Stefan argues that EJ resents Gabi because she made herself in business from the bottom while EJ was born on third base and walks around like he hit a triple. EJ says it will be amusing to watch from the sidelines if Stefan and Gabi manage to take over DiMera Enterprises. EJ wonders how long it would take before Gabi starts viewing Stefan as the obstacle to her success. Stefan states that they’ve already fought that war and they realized their love is what matters most and they will run Stefano’s company the way they want. Stefan declares that the only obstacle in the way is EJ.

Xander tells Gwen that he told her how sorry he is for how he treated her. Gwen complains that she’s heard it all before and he just wants her to do whatever he wants while he secretly pines over Sarah. Gwen tells Xander that she’s over wanting him. Xander asks if her night with Alex convinced her of that. Gwen questions why Xander is still here since he said she should be running the paper. Gwen then asks if that was just another lie.

Alex gets dressed and says that Maggie wants him in the office by noon. Alex reminds Leo that he hates his guts. Leo thought they were over that. Leo tells Alex that he came up with some questions for him while he was in the shower. Leo wants to ask Alex about his budding romance with Gwen.

Gwen asks Xander if he even remembers saying that she should run the Spectator. Xander argues that he still has half interest and plans to protect it. Gwen argues that he can do that without breathing down her neck and adds that from now on, he doesn’t get to ask her what she does in her off hours. Xander complains that he came to work while Gwen started talking about last night. Gwen says that’s only because he assumed she was weeping over him all night. Xander says this is getting them nowhere which Gwen agrees with. Xander decides he’ll work from his hotel room and hopes next time they see each other, they can be civilized. Gwen shouts that it would be a refreshing change for him as Xander storms out of the office.

Johnny guesses he will try to catch up with Wendy. Li advises him to let Wendy call him because it seemed like she had something very important to talk to Tripp about. Gabi questions if she told him that. Li says he picked up on it. Gabi tells Johnny not to listen to Li and to go find Wendy if he wants to. Johnny says he’ll see them later and exits the apartment. Gabi questions why Li is giving Johnny such a hard time. Li responds that he doesn’t trust Johnny and calls him a bad influence on Wendy. Gabi remarks that Johnny influenced her to go to Jakarta and find out what Li and Dr. Rolf were doing to Stefan. Li argues that it’s not just that, but that he’s pursuing Wendy while still involved with his ex wife. Gabi insists that Johnny and Chanel are just friendly exes and there is nothing wrong with that. Li states that he still doesn’t trust him. Gabi questions Li having the nerve to judge someone on being trustworthy. Li calls it his duty to look out for his sister. Gabi says that Wendy can look out for herself. Gabi jokes that Li could just call up Dr. Rolf and have him brainwash Wendy out of caring about Johnny. Li stops Gabi and says he has something for her that she’s going to absolutely love.

Stefan tells EJ that he has to think of something nice to do for Johnny because without him, he never would’ve realized that EJ turned the tables and started drugging him. EJ argues that Johnny enjoys trying to aggravate him but he’s still his son. Stefan points out that Johnny has a lot of Brady in him too with the honesty and strong sense of what’s wrong and right. EJ points out that Sami Brady is Johnny’s mother. Stefan guesses it can skip a generation. Stefan states that he and EJ are even now and neither of them want to jeopardize DiMera, so he asks what’s next. EJ supposes that he’ll have to accept that Stefan and Gabi are intent on finding their way back together which means he’ll have to accept running DiMera with the both of them. Stefan asks if he will accept that gracefully. EJ responds that he hears he has six more months before he has to make up his mind about that as they look to the portrait of Stefano.

Tripp finishes his breakfast burrito and tells Wendy that he didn’t realize how hungry he was. They joke together and Wendy helps wipe Tripp’s face off right as Johnny arrives at the hospital and sees them together.

Li gives Gabi a present from her favorite store. Gabi opens it and finds papers inside of a business proposal. Gabi questions what Li did now. Li explains that the owner of the store is looking to partner with a fashion brand for an exclusive collection. Gabi questions if this is a joke and says it’s not funny because she lost to Gabi Chic to EJ and Li couldn’t buy it back. Li says EJ may have taken away her company but he couldn’t take away her talent. Li states that Gabi made a success out of Gabi Chic so she could do the same thing with a new company.

EJ pours drinks for he and Stefan, suggesting they toast to their new era which Stefan accepts. EJ then toasts to family and two prodigal sons joining forces to hold on to an empire.

Alex argues that Leo doesn’t know when to quit and accuses him of just trying to get dirt for his sleazy column. Leo argues that Gwen is not just his friend, but she and Xander own the paper he works for. Leo adds that Gwen would never publish anything from her own life. Leo tells Alex that Gwen is his best friend in the world and he’s already seen one Kiriakis boy use and lose her, so he won’t stand by and watch another one do it. Alex is shocked that Leo actually gives a damn about something other than himself. Leo tells him not to let that get around as he has an image to maintain. Alex assures that his secret is safe with him and so is Gwen, because they are just friends. Alex then says he has to get to work. Leo says he does too so he follows out after Alex.

Johnny approaches Wendy and Tripp. Wendy asks what he’s doing there. Johnny responds that he came to make things right. Tripp questions how he plans to do that. Johnny offers to talk to Tripp’s supervisor and tell them that he’s the one who took his ID and the lab results and that Tripp had nothing to do with it. Tripp tells Johnny to just let it go but Johnny says he can’t do that. Johnny argues that Tripp is a doctor and he got him in trouble and messed with his reputation which was wrong. Tripp says all he got was a slap on the wrist, so it will die down unless Johnny goes to speak with his supervisor which will stir it all up again. Tripp tells Johnny that the best thing he can do for him is to just drop it.

Gabi questions Li thinking she will just drop everything and start a new fashion line with a local department store. Li points out that the CEO of the store is serious about growing their business and Gabi would be perfect for it. Gabi argues about how much work even the pitch would take. Li insists it would be worth it and that they are dying to hear from her. Gabi says she can’t even think of a name for the label right now. Li says he’s been thinking about that and suggests Haus of Shin or Gabi Shin Originals. Gabi stops him so Li agrees to table the discussion for now, but insists it could be a huge opportunity for her. Gabi argues that he thinks he can just dangle something in front of her and she’ll forget about the CEO position at DiMera or Stefan. Gabi tells Li to forget it. Li complains that’s not what he’s doing and he’s on her side. Li reminds her that EJ swindled her out of Gabi Chic and won’t let her near DiMera. Li says he can’t get back what she lost but he can help her reclaim herself as an entrepreneur. Li insists that he believes in her. Li then gets a text and says he has to go. Li asks Gabi to look over the proposal and if it sparks something in her, she already has an in so if she wants to use it, it’s up to her. Li then exits the apartment.

Stefan asks EJ if his text was DiMera business. EJ says in a matter of speaking. Stefan decides he will get to the office as there’s a lot of work to be done now that they are working together. EJ says he won’t be long. Stefan stops and questions EJ sending a text about DiMera business but not telling him what it is and he’s going to be late to the office but not telling him why. EJ assures that he has nothing to worry about from him. Stefan says they’ll see about that and then exits the mansion. EJ approaches the portrait of Stefano and says that Stefan thinks he has his guard up now, but he can still destroy him and he’ll never see the fin break the water because Stefan wasn’t taught by the best like he was.

Leo returns to the Spectator’s office as Gwen is on the phone, complaining about Julie’s Place canceling an ad. Gwen hangs up and complains about Leo being late. Leo asks why she’s so stressed. Gwen says she’s trying to publish and edit a digital news source that needs to turn a profit to survive. Leo remarks that it sounds like someone needs another marathon night in the sack with her new boyfriend.

Alex and Xander run in to each other in the town square. Alex tells him to keep walking. Xander tells Alex to stay the hell away from Gwen. Alex asks what he’s going to do about it if he doesn’t. Xander warns that he doesn’t want to find out. Alex questions what’s with him and if it’s that Xander doesn’t want Gwen but no one else can have her. Xander argues that he knows nothing about he and Gwen. Xander warns Alex to stay away from Gwen or he’ll make him pay. Alex asks if he’ll dress up like a clown again and drag him off to Victor’s gardening shed. Alex then remarks that Xander only does that to women who can’t defend themselves. Xander asks how Alex likes working for Maggie. Alex responds that they both can’t stand him. Xander laughs at Alex thinking he had the CEO job. Alex reminds Xander of when he got passed up for Philip. Alex remarks that Philip was Victor’s son while he only kept Xander around out of the goodness of his heart. Xander calls Alex a spoiled, cocky little pissant. Xander warns that he cares a lot about Gwen and he’s seen the way Alex treats women. Alex argues that Gwen doesn’t need him staking his claim to her. Alex adds that Gwen is a grown woman, capable of choosing who she wants to be with. Xander gives Alex one last warning to stay away from Gwen or he will regret it. Xander then walks away.

Gwen tells Leo that he’s as bad as Xander and reveals that she had to tell him that Alex is not the love of her life, but that they just had one night. Leo is excited that Gwen told Xander that she slept with his cousin and asks how he took it. Gwen admits he wasn’t thrilled. Leo calls this perfect since Gwen is in the perfect position to use one Kiriakis to make the other Kiriakis crazy with jealousy. Gwen responds that she’s not interested in making Xander jealous, so Leo suggests they make him suffer.

Johnny tells Tripp that he would feel better if he let him make this up to him, but if he wants him to butt out then he will. Tripp confirms that’s what he wants, so Johnny tells him that he’s just really sorry. Tripp says he has to get back to work and thanks Wendy for breakfast. Tripp then walks away. Johnny remarks that Tripp is definitely not over this and tells Wendy that he’ll be seeing her. Wendy stops him and says she appreciates Johnny trying to make it right with Tripp. Johnny says it’s the least he could do since he was so set on finding out if EJ was drugging Stefan that he took Tripp’s ID without thinking about what it might do to him or what Wendy might think of him. Wendy acknowledges that Johnny admitted he was wrong and was ready to take the blame. Wendy states that most guys wouldn’t do that, so he made her proud.

Gabi reads over the business proposal and states that she could have her very own fashion line again. Stefan shows up at the door and kisses Gabi. Gabi questions if he’s lost his mind doing that when Li could come back any second or could have spies all over the building. Stefan tells her to calm down. Gabi argues that he could have ruined everything they’ve been working for. Stefan assures that he made sure he wasn’t followed and waited until Li left the building. Gabi asks why take the chance. Stefan tells her that something happened with EJ as they had it out and agreed to start working together. Gabi questions if EJ is over Stefan drugging him then. Stefan says no way but EJ started talking about how they should call a truce and band together as brothers to protect DiMera. Gabi says it sounds like a bunch of crap. Stefan agrees but says he agreed to it because EJ needs to believe they are on good terms so that it will be easier to oust him in the long run. Gabi warns him to sleep with one eye open. Stefan assures that he knows what he’s doing and he will end up running his father’s company with the woman of his dreams. They kiss until Gabi says he can’t keep doing this because God knows what else Li could do to him after brainwashing him. Stefan promises that they are going to have everything they want and EJ will never see it coming..

Li goes to visit EJ at the DiMera Mansion. EJ apologizes for making him go around the back but says he couldn’t risk them being seen together and the gossip. EJ offers him coffee but Li says he’d rather have answers. Li says he doesn’t like being summoned, especially by the guy who fired him. EJ says he had no choice but that doesn’t mean they can’t be allies, secretly. Li questions what he’s babbling about and what sort of alliance they could possibly form. EJ responds that he was thinking of helping Li hang on to his wife. Li asks how he intends to do that. EJ says he has no idea and that’s why Li is here, but he thinks they need to come up with a plan for Li to stay married to Gabi, permanently. Li questions what’s in it for EJ. EJ calls it the satisfaction in knowing he finally succeeding in prying Gabi’s fingers off of her brother and off of their family fortune.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Hello. So it’s the first time you stay over at my place, so I thought I would do something special for you, Eric. Thank you. So sweet. Hmm, . Mm.

You’re welcome. But I do have one very important question for you. First. Yeah. Shoot. Mm. Was last night the best sex of your life?

Oh,

uh oh. Elvis has not left the bedroom. Oh, hilarious. How are you feeling? Oh, I feel like I’ve been punched in their head a hundred times. That good, huh? Mm. Well, I brought you this, Harold whipped it up for you. It’s your mimas special hangover here your, well, once again, I want to apologize for my brother’s behavior.

Oh, I, I agree, Mr. Shin. Totally unacceptable. So, uh hmm. Have you given any more thought as to whether you’re gonna relieve EJ of his duties? Okay. All right. Well, uh, Once you’ve made up your mind to remove him, uh, we let you know. Thanks, . Wow. Wow. You really are an ass.

Leo. Who’s that? It’s me. It’s Andy. Where are you? I’m standing right in front of you. Oh my God, my eyes. I can’t see. I can’t see this. This can’t be happening. This is just an old wife’s tale. Have I actually gone blind from constant? You better not be making yourself go blind in the office. Oh. Oh, thank God.

Thank God. I thought I’d never get to see that wonderful bone structure that chiseled physique ever again. Why are you sleeping in the office? Well, I couldn’t very well sleep in my room. Now, could I? Why not? Hello? I was giving you and Gwenny your privacy. What are you talking?

Oh, stop.

Oh, oh, oh Mercy. How much did we drink last night? Mad. Should I be jealous? How the bloody hell are you doing in my bed? Don’t worry. I’m not offended that you forgot my name happens to the best of us. I’m Alex by the way, but I will be offended if you tell me that you forgot our night and passion. I Nice.

Of what?

Oh my God. Oh my God, oh my son.

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

I think that you were taking Leo’s gossip column a little too seriously, please, Eric? No, just Shumer me. Okay. Was last night, was it the best of your life? I told you it was great. Remember? But not the best. I don’t kiss and tell. Mm-hmm. . You would if I were the best, which I’m clearly not. Don’t make this a competition.

Okay? Hmm. Just admit that we have an amazing time together. That’s not enough. Hmm. Could you see, as Nicole Gleefully pointed out, Leo said that you’re the best sex of my life. What he didn’t say was that I was the best sex of yours. And for the record, I never said that. Okay. What? He totally made that.

You’re questioning the integrity of Lady Whistleblower. Are you answering my question with the question? No, I’m lightening the mood. Hmm. What was your question again? . Okay. Well, since you’re being so annoyingly evasive in coy mm-hmm. , I demand another shot. Another shot. Hmm. Yeah, that’s right. Because see, no matter how many times it takes, I’m gonna prove Nicole Walker, mom.

Mm-hmm. . Mm-hmm. . Please do.

As you may recall, you’ve made me drink this concoction when I had a hangover not so long ago. Oh, how cruel of me. Oh, come on. Right. It’s tough going, but it. Open up, choo. No, no, no. Stop, stop, stop. Please, please, please. And I’m not hungover. I’m struck by my brother. You know that? No, no. I don’t know that. Not for sure.

I mean, it could have been an accident and maybe you mixed up the cups. I’m positive I switched the cops correctly after Stephan s strike. Martin. He must have, he must have switched them back. Well then if that’s the case, Stephan must know you’re onto him. I have no doubt about that. John Roman gave him a pretty big headss up and Stefan took full advantage of it.

So you’re trying to get my dad fired, right? That that’s your goal. That’s father’s goal. Hmm. What the hell does that mean? You saw for yourself, Johnny, he was a total disaster last night. Yeah. Yeah. Because you’re a two-faced trader. It’s because you drugged him.

Don’t play coy with me, Mr. Stud McMuffin. When I got back to the room last night, the Do Not disturb sign was on the door. So I assume you took my advice, got back together with Gwen. I didn’t wanna interrupt your steamy reunion. There was no reunion, Leo. Gwen and I didn’t get back together, but you’re officially divorced from Sarah.

Now why not make it officially official with Gwen? Cause I’m. I’m still in love with Sarah and can’t fully commit to Gwen. Can I please tell me, you didn’t say that to her? Of course I did. I mean, I have to be honest. No, you don’t. You big dummy. Ah, always. Brains or bra? Never both. What would be the point in life to her?

The point in line would’ve been to protect her feelings. You insensitive jerk. My God. Gwenny must be in agony right now. Her heart’s shattered into a million pieces and I feel terrible that. I care too much about Gwen to lead her on Leo. She deserves better than that. You’re damn right. She does. And now I am going to comfort my friend, let her know that she’s too special and wonderful to waste her time on the likes of you, your big, insensitive shallow meaning.

Wait a minute, if you can. Gwenny Warren, having sexy time last night. Why was the do not disturb sign on the door?

Oh, oh God. Oh, I, I remember. I remember now. I, oh, it’s all coming back to me. Yeah. Apparently I preceded my legend.

We, um, we, what did we, we ran into the, um, we ran into each other at small bar and we got completely bollocked, didn’t we? Because that Oh, bloody oneand. Can’t get over Sarah Horton. And, um, and, um, you, uh, I lost my job. Right. Yeah. Maggie, the tyrant, she stole your job. Hmm. And then we, we came back here and had a nightcap and we had.

Wild. Hot, passionate, no holds barred. Oh, no, no, no, no. Too many adjectives. My head’s pounding sex. We had sex and you know what? I think this was a first for me. Uh, at first, yes. A first with a British woman. Are you a beautiful, sexy, stunning British woman? Yeah. Well then technically I am an American. And what’s with the heart accent?

Uh, well, what does it matter? It doesn’t matter at all. All it matters is that you really, really, I’m really turned me on. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. That’s fine. No, this cannot happen again. This has been a terrible, terrible mistake.

Well, why was there a do not disturb sign on the door if there was nothing to disturb? I suppose because Gwen wanted to be left alone. Poor. Thanks. She was probably crying her eyes out all night time to think of it. I did hear mother damn you Zander cook. I was trying to be honest with you. Yeah. So you keep saying what do you think you deserve a medal for being honest.

When the entire time you’ve known Gwen, you’ve treated her like she’s a second fiddle to that skinny snooty Sarah Horton. And now even though skinny snooty woman has given you the Hepo left town to get away from you, you still treat Gwen like she’s a damn afterthought. Like, like she can never measure up to your standards, which is completely absurd given that you are a total swine with the soul the size of a pee.

You know what? I’m not gonna call her. I’m going to go see my bestie in person and stop her from doing something she might regret.

Last a mistake. Now wait a second. When, look, we, we are practically. Aren’t we? And we just knew each other a few hours and we just jumped right into bed with each other. Okay. So you never had a one night stand before? Yeah. Yes. I’ve had my wild days, of course, but God, now I’m in love with another man. Right.

Xander, who is still in love with Sarah Horton. So you used me to get back at him? Oh, I did not.

Yes I did. Hm. I’m sorry. Don’t be. I’m not at all besides, I’m still trying to get over Stephanie Johnson. She’s with Chad, so I have no reason to feel guilty either. Neither do you. We are both single and, oh God. Don’t say ready to mingle. I hate that. I would never say that. What I was gonna say is that we are both consenting adults and what we did is perfectly normal.

Unacceptable.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, you’re right. I don’t, I don’t owe zand or anything. Exactly. So we are free to have all the earth shattering sex we want with no regrets.

Pretty great, wasn’t it? Definitely. In fact, I think it deserves an encore.

Hang on a second. Last night you tipped me off that somebody was drugging me and now you’re accusing me of drugging my brother, which is it, honey, I’m guessing. I’m confused. No, you’re not. Don’t try to manipulate me. I’m a der too. Remember you got me there After I tipped you off last night, you decided you wanted to get back at my dad’s, so you pulled the old switcheroo.

Causing him to ingest the drug that was meant for you. Go ahead. Tell me I’m wrong. Mm. Well that all depends on what, if it was in fact your father who was drugging me. Is that what you’re telling me, John? John? That my own brother’s been plotting against me.

So I not only called shin old, but then I proceeded to talk about how my son was possessed by the devil. Mm-hmm. . And then you topped it off by shoving Stephan. Ah, damnit. It was pretty hard to watch. Yes, I’m sure. And now I have to do major damage control. How are you gonna do that? Well, with way I can just express great contrition and turn on the charm.

It’s Stephen. Stephan is a whole other story.

I, I think there’s only one move to make where Stefan’s concerned, and that is well after Johnny tried to do the right thing, your brother now knows you’re onto him. So all this subterfuge is, is pointless. He. It is time for you to confront Stephan once and for all.

Okay, so I’ve decided not to worry about Nicole or that stupid gossip column anymore, really? Mm. What changed your mind? Well, while we were just enjoying each other just now, I realize it’s incredibly demeaning for me to compete with the Navy. I mean, I know I’m the best sex you’ve ever had. I don’t need to hear it from you.

I admire yourself, confidence, and I admire you for your impressive staying power.

In fact, I think you might have just earned yourself a pass at my retainer fame. All right, Jenn, generous of you. Oh no. But I’m still charging you for your defense Fair. I don’t know why I can’t afford you right now. Hmm. I wouldn’t worry about stacking up too many hours. I, I think this case is gonna be over pretty quickly.

That, that’s great to hear. It makes you so sure. Wow. A bulk of the charges resulted from you pretending to be my paralegal and as the victim, I can just make those charges go away by not cooperating with the da, which then leaves. The kidnapping charge, not a big thing, right? Well actually I think I can cut a deal with traffic.

Really like

speak of the devil. Well, is it about my case? Oh my God, Eric, it’s bad news.

Thank you again taking my case. I know it’s gonna be a lot of extra work for you. No, well it’s probably a good thing. It’s good for me to be busy, right. Sure it is. I know how close you were. Miss Marlena

think I miss her every day. I also think that she would be really upset with the riff you’re having with your brother Eric, right now. What? I just wanna eat breakfast right now, Brittany. I’m just saying you and Sammy, I get that’s, Normal. Are you and Eric? I mean, you’ve, you’ve always got along well, that was before he became a moody jerk.

I think he’s going through a rough patch and what he needs. A little bit like no, what he needs break. Listen, if this is your lame way of, of trying to get me to represent him answering. No, I’m not. I’m not. No, no. He actually already has a lawyer. What? Who? Oh my God. It’s her. That horrible heartless bitch.

Yes. That horrible heartless bitch is Sloan Peterson. That is his lawyer

charging me with attempted murder. I mean, how is this possible? Apparently Stephan’s heart stopped. Has Ralph was zapping him. I wasn’t zapping him. I wasn’t even here for the. It doesn’t matter. I mean, the laundry list goes on. I mean, she’s really piling on the charges. You said this was gonna be easy. I mean, how is this even possible?

Um, well, well maybe it was because something I said,

you are right. It’s time to bring this fight out in the open. I’m just gonna get pretty ugly, especially since both of you live under the same roof. Now, let’s step Dewey’s Worst. I’m not afraid of him. I just don’t want you being pulled into this mess depot. Oh, don’t worry about me. I can hold my own . Don’t I know it?

Well, I guess there’s no sense in putting this off any longer. I’ll let you know how it goes. Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hang on a second, sir. We need to take a shower first. It’ll help you clear your mic. Yeah, that’s a great idea. But you know what’s an even better idea? What’s that? Let you join me, you know, for extra clarity.

Mm,

well, Is my own brother plotting against me thing You think I don’t see right through you. Okay. Quit playing the victim. Here I am the victim. The cup that EJ drank from was meant for me. So you did switch the cups? What the hell was I supposed to do? Johnny? Huh? Let my brother sabotage me in front of way shin.

I was giving him a literal taste of his own medicine. Look, I don’t know what’s going on between you and my dad, but whatever it is, you need to figure it out. Your brothers okay? You shouldn’t be tearing each other apart. You really think you should be lecturing me on Brotherly Love? What’s that supposed to mean?

Didn’t I just read in the gossip section that you almost slept with your twin sister’s girlfriend and that led to the demise of their relationship? All right? It’s a little more complicated than that, and also that’s not what happened. Allie and Chanel didn’t break up because of me. They broke up because Allie decided to have a one night stand with Alex, Kiki.

Ah, well you still having regrets? Ah, I knew that. We can’t have a go at around three. So ? No. No. I can’t. I can’t. I’m, I have to go to work. Oh, I’m gonna hop on the shower. I’m

fine. Mind if I make a cup of coffee? Yeah. Go for it. There’s a little, uh, coffee maker on that table over there.

Poor Gwenny. She’s probably hiding under the covers. Wallowing in her misery. Oh, Leo is here to save the day. Gwe. I spoke to Xander. The man is a total.

You okay there? Yeah, I’m fine. I just need to catch my breath. What are you doing here anyway? I’m not really sure. It’s my place to wait. I know my wish came true. What are you talking about? Yesterday I was at the park and there it was. A bright and shiny penny on the ground. I had to raise some little brats.

Pick it up. Knocked her out of the way. Here you are. Yeah. I’m sorry. I don’t follow. Hello? Find a penny. Pick it up. Then tonight you get to hold on. What’s, hold on. You’re a little late though. It’s morning. But I won’t hold it against you, Leo. Or will I look how, how stupid am I spending the night at the office when I could have been here with you.

But what are we waiting for? Here I am. There you are. Oh. Time out, ti time. Time out. Who are you gonna put me in a timeout? Daddy. Not your lucky penny. I’m not here because of you. Well, then why are you here parading around? Stark naked patent pending. Leo, who else is staying in this room? Well Gwenny, but she, oh my gwenny.

You know, I just don’t get it. I thought Sloane dumped Eric because she was super pissed at him for getting raw out of jail. Apparently she, for forgive, Ugh. I just thought we were done with this wretched, bottom feeder. You know, I just don’t understand how Eric and her got together in the first place. I mean, what does he seeing her?

What? She’s kind of hot bell, you know? Oh God, dude, you’re such a man. Yeah, I am. I am. I’ve been called worse, by the way. Yeah. Well, can’t actually think that that woman is good for our brother. Actually, I don’t at all, but, but from his point of view, I think maybe she has been there for him when things went south.

Mm-hmm. . And that’s why he is been such a jerk because she’s been there for him. Look, given my history with Kristen Damara, I’m in no position to judge. Oh, please. Anyone with a brain is in a position to judge that Sloan Peterson is a nightmare. I just hope and pray that. At least keeps it professional this time.

I don’t get it. I mean, how could this be your fault? Trash through the book at me. I know, but maybe, maybe because I told her to you. What? Look, it was before I agreed to take the case, I was still angry with you. You know, I kind of, I went off in front of Trask. I mean, God, who knew I had so much influence over that woman.

This is all because that stupid column. No, this is because of your stupid action. Nathan. You talk her out of it. I don’t know, Eric. I mean, she’s already gone to the press with this. Knowing her. She’s not gonna back out, so then I’m screwed.

Not necessarily.

Okay, look. All right. I’ll be the first to admit, my sister and I have definitely had some real knockdown drag outs, but at the end of the. We love each other, and I, I can’t believe that I’m about to say this out loud that I even have to, but you don’t drug your sibling to sabotage their career. Okay, Johnny?

I know you mean well, but this is between me and your father. Except it’s affecting the whole family, you know? Not to mention the company seen the stock lately. It’s in the dump way. Shin’s unhappy. This whole thing’s a mess. I’ll get it under control. Not a fair war with my dad, but why don’t I just go get him right now.

You guys can hash this thing out here. And now.

Hello, Mr. Damira. Hi, this is Sloan Peterson, counsel for Eric Brady. I was hoping you and I could have a little chat.

I’m all done in there if you’d like to hop in. Thank you. And there is something seriously wrong with your friend.

Did the two of you. My girl get it. Also, I had been worried sick about you. Why? I ran into Xander at the office where I slept last night. Thank you very much. He told me what happened between you two. So I raced over. I thought you’d be hole up in here crying your wi eyes out, licking your wounds. Turns out you’re licking something else entirely.

Filthy. Ah, I’m filthy. I’m filthy. Okay. I’m filthy, but so are you Gwendolyn bagging two of the hottest guys in Salem first Ander. Now Alex, you are a queen. I both hate and respect you at the same time. Huh? You have a But that’s out of the way. I did get a sneak peek at the main attraction, and I have one word.

Epic indeed. Girl. Give me all the deeds and I mean everything.

So, uh, I was thinking maybe I should go with you when you confront Stephan. He’s less likely to kill you with me there, Nicole. This is not your fight. No, it kind of is since not only I was Stephan’s unintended victim, you and I are seeing each other again, which makes us a team. Right? I suppose it does.

Mm-hmm. I know it says. Now let’s go kick your brother’s ass.

You know what better safe than sorry, God, this family. Good morning, son. Good morning. Uh, good morning Nicole. Morning. How you feeling, dad? Better. Thank you. Um, thank you for helping me out last night for getting me outta here before I can make an even bigger fool of myself in front of shin. Yeah, well it’s uh, probably no surprise to you that Uncle Stefan is pushing for him to fire you.

No, it’s not. So where is my backs stabbing brother, you just missed. Oh, well, look, dad, I hope you’re not mad about the warning I gave him. I, but you know, I, I, I know it backfired on you, but like he said, he. Just give your taste of your own medicine. John Roman, you don’t understand this whole drugging business.

I wasn’t the one who started it. It was your Uncle Stephan

attempted. Attempted murder. That’s insane. Well, I think Trask was playing hardball. I wasn’t trying to murder him Bell. I was just trying to help him. For God’s sake, I take it. You got the message from Trask. Yeah. It’s pretty ridiculous. Yeah. You missed a button there, counselor. So much for keeping it professional.

I assume Brady mentioned that I hired Sloan. Yeah. One bad decision after another. Sloane’s an excellent attorney and you gave me no other choices. Okay, listen, I don’t wanna fight and I actually do think it would be better for all of us to work together on this. I know you and I don’t really get along, but I think we have a common goal in keeping these two idiots out of prison.

So I think we should do an end run around trash and call Stephan Dira. Gee, what a great idea. I wish I had thought of that. Oh wait, I. Oh, and here he is now.

Okay, well we were there and then we ordered another round and another round, and then we, um, started talking about his work situation. Honey, how is any of this relevant to what I want to hear? I said everything. But what it meant was everything. Like everything. What don’t you wanna know about how we got into bed, honey?

No. No. Boring. Boring. Listen to me carefully. Nobody cares about the setup. Press fast forward. Choose your words wisely and paint me a vivid picture of that God among men and men. Okay, go.

Okay. Um, me see, uh, Well first he uhhuh, . He did this. Oh, I have to get that. Sorry. Hang on. Oh damn. Musts be an emergency with the advertiser. I, I have to go to work. Sorry. I am gonna throttle you. Uh, can you maybe just tell Alex I to run? You better. Give me all the details later. Missy, this is gonna be great for stuff at lady whistleblower column.

Don’t you dare. Or I will make it so that lady is not just a nom.

So, wait, let me get this straight. Stephan spiked your drink and then you switched it with his, and then he switched it back. Oh. This cat and mouse game has been going on for a while. Technically, I never actually drugged Stephan. He drugged himself. He just didn’t know about it. So why? Why is he doing all this in the first place?

I suspect he secretly holds a grudge against me for not telling him about the brain. . Well, that’s great. Now you guys can just be done with it. Call it even. I was planning on confronting him, but I guess I’ve missed my chance. Yeah, well, in that case I should probably get going to work. Oh, I was, uh, I was headed out too.

You need to lift? Yeah, that’d be great. Okay. I’ll see you tonight. Looking forward to it.

Well, if it isn’t the brother’s grim, please uh, have a seat.

I didn’t realize the whole gang was gonna be here. Mr. D. Thank you so much for meeting us. Yes. As I was just telling Ms. Peterson, we have a common goal to get your brothers off the hook for what they did to me. I realized that, um, their methods were reckless. You think they kidnapped me, knocked me out, tied me to a bed so a mad man could experiment on me.

Yes. But in the end, the experiment was a success and you’re back to the man you once were because I was. That was a hell of a risk one that they took without my consent. You wanted to talk about consent? Excuse me, pal. Listen, Brady, let us handle this. Mr. Damara. I admit that our clients were extreme, but everything worked out for the best.

And since the DA doesn’t have a case without your cooperation, we’re asking you if you could please not press charges.

What they did was unconscionable, but as much as I hate to admit it, in the end, they did me a favor. So you’ll talk aask. Consider the charges dropped.

Uh,

Stephan, thank you. Yeah. Thank you.

Oh, no, I still can’t stand her. Oh.

Oh, I didn’t think you were coming in today. Um, yes. Well, I heard that there was a problem with one of the advertisers. Oh, I was just like to take care of that actually. Yeah. Well, I’m here now so I can take care of it. No, I’m happy to cover it if you wanna take the day off. Why about to do that going? You, you don’t have to put on a front with.

Was just here. I feel terrible that you spent the night in your room all alone. Crying. Crying.

Actually, I wasn’t alone. I was busy hitting the sheets with your cousin, Alex.

Where’s Gwen? You should do go to work. Looks like it’s just you and me. Handsome. Good One of the moment alone with you. Me too. I have a bone to pick with the guy who ruined my career

on. Put that away. Considering you’ve saved my life, sis, practice is on me. Well, thankfully Stephan was willing to listen to the reason Dave and Sloan, you make a pretty good team. Maybe you should, uh, you know, get firm together or something. Then who would represent me when I throw her out the window?

thought about that. No, there will be no teaming up between me and that awful woman whom I still loa with every fiber of my being. Just wish the hell Eric would stay away from her.

Johnny, I’m really sorry about lying to you and Wendy about what was going on. Hey, you’re not the first person who’s ever kept a secret from my dad.

So you and he are, uh, getting pretty close, huh? Ah, yeah, I guess we are. Does that mean you’re over my uncle?

I’m getting there.

I’m certain you don’t approve of all this end fighting father, so whether you like it or not, there is going to be a reckoning between my brother and me.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 I am sorry. I don’t remember inviting you to sit here. You didn’t Then why are you here? Well, because US members of the Bad Day Club have to stick together. This Spencer can’t argue with that. You are. Um, Alex, that’s. And you are Gwen.

Well, I would say nice to meet you, but we have so many people in common. It’s almost if we’re old chums. Mm-hmm. . Does feel that way. Huh?

So who puts you in such a rotten mood when your rotten cousin Zander?

Oh,

sorry. Your talk with Gwen didn’t go so well. Yeah, well, It went about as well as Lincoln’s nights at the theater actually. Sorry. So was it, um, bad business wise or relationship wise? Both. Oh, I’m sorry. Yeah. No, I’ve made Gwen so angry. I don’t think there’s any relationship left. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Where’s all this anger coming from?

Okay. I don’t get it. Yeah, neither do I. What do you think Johnny did? What do I think he did? No, I know exactly what he did and he can’t dodge this one cuz I have the receipts.

You had fun at the museum, didn’t you? Oh, I’m not gonna complain about seeing Van Gogh paintings of clothes. Hmm. So much beauty in one place. The art was pretty good too. Are we gonna keep doing this? What compliments. Going into the exhibit was your idea. Remember, after I found you and s Stephan together, I thought you were trying to make amend.

I was trying to make the best of the situation. I didn’t know dinner was gonna be a part of it. What’s wrong with dinner? I’m not hungry. Ah, you said the same thing when I made you ch laquila for breakfast and then you scarf those down. Come on. You love the steak here, just like you love the exhibit. And then what?

By the time our, our six months deal expires, I’m gonna. Just let go of s Stephan and love you again too. Yeah, that’s right. Except, uh, things can happen a lot sooner than that.

Once again to D Mirror,

Oh, soit is so brave that you came over for dinner.

I’m so glad you were able to join us, Mr. Shin. I’m very glad to be here. Yeah, and I know that Shep is making beef Wellington, so I hope I see your liking. Oh, it sounds wonderful. This feels like it’s going to be a night to remember. Couldn’t have said it better myself, brother.

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

Well, I hope you don’t hold it against me, that Zander and I are related, even though blood is just about the only bond we have, especially after the whole kidnapping mess. I do not wanna talk about that. Fair enough. Besides Zander’s, actual crimes are really the least of my issues with him. Oh yeah. You know, he tried to be good in his own way.

How about you? Did you try to be good? Mostly? How’s that working out for you?

What do you think? Right. So it seems to me that in a weird way, you and Zander are a pretty damn good match, except it’s not the match that he wants, despite the fact that she wants absolutely nothing to do with him. Zander will never stop loving Sarah Horton,

you know? Realized I was doing the very thing that I told you I didn’t want to do. Leading G went on. Mm-hmm. So you made her think you were gonna be a couple again? Only cuz I believed it. I mean, I really did think that, you know, once I saw the final divorce decree in my hands, I would finally accept that Sarah and I are over for good.

I don’t think it works that way. No. The feelings didn’t miraculously disappear. I can’t lie to going about that. Even if Sarah hates me, she doesn’t hate you. She’s just done with you. Now you’ve got to get over her. Are you gonna end up alone?

You know, you really need to work on listening when people. Like, like I am not in love with you. Or six months or six years he and I are not happening. Hmm. I heard you say those things and yet they’re not sinking in because you keep talking about winning me back and you’re starting to sound delusional.

I like to call it hopeful. Okay. Well, you can call it whatever you’d like. It’s still a pine tree only because you’re treating it like it’s some kind of chore because it is. It doesn’t have to be Daddy. This quality time we’re spending. Look at it like I’m doing you a favor. A favor. Yeah. Yeah. The more time you spend with me, the less time you spend fighting your temptation to be with Stephan.

Or even worse, giving in. So you’re helping me out. If you cave, you force me to invoke. Cause 2.6 of our deal and you lose out all my damer shares is one night of nostalgia. Was Stephan really worth that?

So I found this startup in South Africa. They’re making incredible breakthroughs on clean energy. They are hungry for investors. I’m intrigued. I must have missed a memo on this one. Oh, I was gonna brief you in the morning, get your sign off. You know, I’m sure it was just a misunderstanding. Yeah, of course.

Sorry, I, I’m sure you were caught off guard just as I was caught off guard when you told me that Mr. Shin was joining us for dinner tonight. So guess we’re even, I’m going to check in on how, see how those appetizers are coming. Nicole, would you like to join me? I know you had a request for the chef. Oh, yes.

Right. Thank you for reminding me. Of course.

Did you hear Stephan back there? Obviously he’s trying to win shin’s favor. He called us Eva. Something tells me you don’t see it the same way. Mm. He will be after the drugs kick in and he makes a fool of him. Which might be any minute now

finding the deal in South Africa will be a big win for Jamira. You, Cindy, on top of things, you sound surprised. Well, to be honest, I had a conversation earlier with your brother. Hmm. About, uh, he worries that you were still feeling the effects of what Dr. Rolf put you through. Hmm.

I appreciate my brother’s concern for my wellbeing, but I can assure you I’m perfectly fine. Hmm.

Ah geez.

Maybe Xander will come around. Hm. My God. Do you know how many times I’ve told myself that? Never know. Feelings are weird. Feelings are weird. Wow. That should be on a refrigerator magnet. Dude. easy. I just mean, you know, sometimes they can take a little while to sort him out. Do you know what he said to me?

He said that once he sees the divorce decree, reality will set in. And I’m guessing that’s not what happened. No. Reality did set in, it just settled in for me, not him. And he told you what? That he didn’t want to be with you? He said he still loves Sarah and he doesn’t know if you’ll ever her get over her

when? I’m sorry that he hurt you. I, I don’t even, geez, do you know what the worst part is though? Was he was trying not to hurt me. He.

He said it’s not fair to lead me on when he knows that he’s still got feelings for so often. Alright, well I think that’s honorable. I guess. God’s honorable. Come on, honorable my ass. I am the best thing that has ever happened to that man and he will never know God. Who do you have to shout to get another refill around here?

Hello? Oh, hey, hey, hey. X round’s on me. I got it. Thanks. God’s sake. Listen to me. I’m just going on and on and on about myself. I haven’t even asked you why you are here, why you are so miserable as go on. Then what’s her name? . Good guess. And yes, I did ruin things with the best woman I’ve ever met in my life, but that’s not the reason why I’m here tonight.

Mm-hmm. and Royal, you. I am here tonight because of Sarah Horton’s mother.

Mm-hmm. . Why am I telling Sarah’s mother all ? Maybe because you expect me to get in touch with her and let her know that you still love her. No, I mean, unless you want to. I told you before, I wish the two of you had worked this out, but I’ve learned my. I mean, I, I made my feelings clear to Sarah and, and I told her that this time I’m gonna stay out of it.

I understand that I’ve lost Sarah and now I’ve driven Gwen away too. Seems I can’t help but hurt the women in my life. Mm. Well it seems to be a lot of that going around.

Okay. Someone tell me what this is about. I’m sure it’s nothing. Yeah, of course. Well, it says Johnny won’t tell you. I will. You see, he came asking for my help for some lab results for his father. I told him there’s nothing I could do, so he stole my id, impersonated me and stole those results from the lab.

That’s how you got those results? Yeah. He put my good name and reputation at risk all because he and his family always think they’re above the.

I know how much he admired my father. He was a flawed and complicated man, but his drive and determination was unmatched , and he never ever let someone get the better of him, which is why I’m trying to follow in his footsteps.

Look at him over there, droning on trying to impression. Doesn’t he know droning is your specialty? . Stefan will get what’s coming to him soon enough. I love a good tour wreck dinner party. Mm-hmm. . Let’s join them. See how things are progressing. Whoa, whoa. You okay? All good.

Good job buddy. I seven believe that you’re drunk, but maybe tone it down Well, shin’s looking okay. Is it a little warm in here? I just me,

I’m glad you were raised his dinner party, ej. It’s given me a chance to, uh, stress the importance of rising up our stock price. Of course, it’s all he’s thinking about. I can vouch for that. Okay. EJ is the first to admit that this stock slide was due to an unfortunate mistake. But believe me when I say that, he’s doing everything in his power to make sure it never happens again.

Isn’t that right? Ej? Uh, of course. And he’s using this opportunity to make changes within the company. That’s why I’ve developed a new program to teach all DER employees media strategies as we navigate this new environment. And I know EJ is fully on board. See, when I, I’m sorry I’m not finished. When one employee is able to cause this big a crisis by opening his mouth, that tells me that the culture needs to be changed.

And I can assure you that we are going to change that culture. Stop talking.

Mr. Shim heard you the first time. For God’s sake, the man is old, not deaf.

So, uh, if you’re distancing yourself from Gwen, does that mean you’re quitting the spectator? No, Gwen certainly doesn’t want me there, but you own half of. Yeah, but it’s, it’s Gwen’s legacy, not mine. So you’re unemployed again. We’ll see. Don’t worry. I’ll find some non-legal way to fill my own. Well, then maybe you could fill in Harry Titan.

Right. Yeah. Doing what? Taking off for Alex. I wouldn’t complain.

So Maggie got the job that you were expecting at Titan? I would say deserving, but yes, ooi. Do you have a problem answering to strong women? I love strong women. Gender is not the problem here. Gwenny. That job should be mine. I should be the one on the front page of the Spectator with my plans of laying out the future of this company.

So why isn’t it you?

Because my Uncle Vic, not a near full of some gossip about my extracurricular activities. Hmm.

Wow. Oh dear. That’s funny, huh? Yeah, it’s um, lady Whistleblower. Oh, lady Whistleblower. You know all about that, huh?

Yeah. I’m really sorry to tell you that I am the new editor at The Spectator, and Leo is my gossip column expert. Oh. Great. Come on. I mean, what’s the big deal? Anyway, you are

handsome and you are quite charming and you are rich. I mean, why shouldn’t you have a wrong with two beautiful, young, willing women? Yeah, I do like the way you think, but my Uncle Vic, he’s. It was little old school.

Yeah. Is Maggie really the like the best for the job there? I mean, she’s nice enough, but does Victor think that she’s CEO O material finally. Oh, thank you. Thank you. Do you know how many times I tried sounding the alarm about this in an ad? Just gets shut down with this extreme prejudice. And now honestly Gwen, I’m just trying not to blow my inheritance.

Well, if you want that pot at the end of the rainbow, I think you’re gonna have to be a good little soldier. And you’re gonna have to follow Auntie Maggie’s orders, aren’t you? Mm. That’s the deal. Well, I think it sounds good. Just don’t cause trouble. You get to live a fabulous life and he had to sha whomever you like.

So kind of wish you told me that. Y.

When I asked you how you got those lab results, you said you have your ways, well, I guess his ways are identity theft. Johnny, you don’t have to believe me now. You can just talk to the lab director who called me while I was at the nurses station looking for my lost badge. What exactly did he say? Oh, he figured out that someone unauthorized used to get those reports.

Were he gonna say something, John? What? What can I say? Yes, yes. I use Trips Badge to get those results. Yes. Wow. You know, that’s illegal, right? I needed answers. Wendy and I are trying to help someone, Wendy and I, are you actually throwing her under the bus? That’s not what I was doing. Then why did you lie to me about how you got those results?

Because he knew how you would react, and he’s too much of a coward, to be honest.

What, what? I admit they make good steak here. What do you, what do you want from them? I was just remembering the last meal we shared here. What about it? You got a little carried away, ordered the most expensive bottle of wine on the list, and then when we were. We heard another. Hmm. And then later when we went home, stop.

Stop, stop. What? That wasn’t a good night because I seem to remember it being one of the best nights of my life. I mean, a night that lasted all the way through till morning. By the way, I never felt closer to you. To anyone can tell by the way your cheeks are flush. You remember? I know what you’re doing.

Well, is it working

Mr. Shin? I, I am so sorry for that outburst. I blame myself for what happened with the stock, obviously, and it’s frustrating. Understandable. And, and once he gets the prices up, the frustration will be gone. Ah, as will I. Yes. Well,

Uh, uh, dinner should be ready. Uh, let’s eat, shall we? Yes.

I know you’re supposed to act impaired, but, you know, uh, maybe not. Try not to insult shin. I, I didn’t mean to say that. I, I don’t know what’s happening. Stefan was getting under my skin and just slipped out. Oh, you look sweaty. I’m tall here. No, it’s not. Are you sure that you swed the correct drinks with s Stephan?

Of course. Oh, because Stephan’s the someone who’s acting fine and you’re acting off, I’m fine. The drug shall kick in for Stephan any minute. We will go and sit down and have dinner with Mr. Shin and Stephan will prove that he is unfit by going face first into his bowl of soup.

So Alex totally undercut your authority and he still has a job. I let him off with a warning. Let me, he was, he was only being passionate about something that he believes in. Still almighty, you can’t have insubordination in your ranks. The truth is that I didn’t wanna become c e O and fire the only other kek in the company on my first day.

That would’ve be a bad look. Ugh. I wish I had the KIS I could count on.

I wasn’t just gonna. Auntie Mag, shut the door on Bella. So I back channelled my concerns to my uncle. All right, . So, um, let me get this straight. You. The, um, you said the boss, your, your boss, the big boss, made a decision. A bad one, . And you went, you went behind her back to her husband . Wow. I mean, when you put it like that, uh, I guess I’m not a.

Team player. Name one person in your family who is, what you thinking of? One in particular. You are like that. You more just go after what you want. Consequences be damned. Oh, huh. What about you? How are you raised?

Mostly I raised myself.

By the way, it doesn’t seem like either of us have gotten what we want.

It’s misery.

Where is mine

to misery?

So you wanna get outta here?

Look. I’m sorry. Okay. That I got trip in trouble, but he gave me no choice. Okay. How do you figure, I asked you for your help. He didn’t wanna give it to me, so I borrowed your badge for like 10 minutes. Okay. No, you didn’t borrow trip’s. Badge, you stole it. So what you, you, you think that what my dad is doing to s Stephan is okay, but both things are bad.

Yeah. One’s a hell of a lot worse. You knew this was wrong or you wouldn’t have kept it from me.

You should go, Wendy. No, I’m serious. Johnny, what do we have? If I can’t trust you, I’ll text you tomorrow. Once you’ve had time to think about this, you’ll understand.

Look, I’m sorry. Are you okay? Ali warned me about how impulsive and selfish shawny can be.

I guess I’m still trying to learn what that means.

It’s a great idea to have Harold set us up in here with coffee and desserts. Mr. Shin. Nicole, can I get you coffee? No, thank you. Ah, I’ll pass. Aj, you’re not gonna say no. Only if you join me.

This is one of my favorites. See why it’s one of the only abstracts we own.

And father acquired this squad in Tuscan. I agree. F l had Yes indeed.

Why don’t you show Mr. Shin that incredible sculpture you purchased at the auction? Oh, I would love to. It is so special. Believe it or not, our father actually owned it in the sixties.

You tracked him again and maybe he didn’t get enough in the first trick, but this time, this time, He’s going down.

So you wanna know if your shameless flirting is working. What’s so shameless about it? I was just remembering what it was like to be in bed with you that night and hoping that by the time September rolls around and we’ve made new memories, you’ll be. Stephan, who

I admire your persistence.

What else do you admire about me? Uh, check. Please check. Oh, we can’t leave yet. Why not? I pre-ordered the souffle for dessert. We can get it to go. You want to go back home just like last time?

I am sorry. I know I was hard on Johnny there. No, you had it coming to him. You have every right to be pissed. It was my first day back at the hospital, you know, and I wanted everything to be perfect and just, I dunno. I feel like such a responsibility to honor Kayla’s memory and I’m sure she’d be proud.

I know I’ll never. Go the doctor she was. But that’s important to me that I don’t do anything that’ll stain her reputation or even this point, my dad, while still breathing. Hey you, nothing wrong today.

Thanks. Okay. I’m really sorry Joani put you in this position.

If I known what he was gonna do, I would’ve.

Oh, Stephan, why don’t you share some of the numbers with Mr. Shin for the South Africa project? You sure you want me to do that now? Why not? Oh, Johnny. Hello Uncle Stephan. My son. What a grand addition to the group. I Hey dad, . Oh, have you? Have you two met? You’ve got to meet my boy. Hey, can I talk to you for a second?

In a minute. In a minute. I’m sure you know all about this young man. Way after all. He could be the air to the Damira throne. Well, I am will aware. Hello Johnny. Mr. Shin. Hello. Come on. You can do better than that. Johnny Tuck. Oh, oh, oh. Of course, Mr. Shim is a legendary judge of character and talent, so I’m sure he’ll find Johnny completely amazing when he finally gets his chance.

Huh? Hey, right, and let’s not hold against him. That whole new devil possession thing, wife, you need to go. Now. Why? Because there’s been a mistake. The only mistake I see is two CEOs, okay? That, are you all right? I got this. Ej. Hey, I don’t know what is going on with you, but you need to make an excuse. Go upstairs and lie down cause I’m not tired.

You need to lie down. Before you embarrass yourself any further, embarrass myself. Who the hell do you think you are? Ej, clearly you are messed up. I am not messed up. You are three.

Oh, okay. That was clearly not supposed to happen. Okay. You know what? Ha didn’t sleep much. He was up all night. But I switched it. I, I, I, I know I switched it. Just come with me. Uh, excuse us. CJ just needs to, to freshen up. Johnny. Yeah.

Mr. Shit. I apologize for my brother’s behavior. Honestly, I. No idea what’s going on.

Hi guys. Lee Ding. When trip we interrupting something? Nope. No, we were just uh, talking. Where were you? Two Dinner at the bistro. We brought you some delicious. So, . I drove nice and slow so it wouldn’t collapse. You guys want some? Yeah, that sounds great. I’ll go put it on the plate. Okay. I’m gonna go change.

Oh, tired. Long. Good. Uh, um. Oh, and here we are sitting on your bed. Uh, don’t worry, I’m gonna head to sleep soon. Have a long day too. You know, it, uh, it isn’t that bad for sleeping. It’s that sexually. Pretty comfortable couch. Ah, well, glad you don’t mind. Yeah, yeah. No, no. Um, what I meant was, is, um, you wouldn’t mind me.

Yeah. I was thinking, uh, you know, I’m sure it’s very expensive for you to move back here and quit your job out west, so maybe I can help with that. Oh, pow out. You can save a little money. Crash out here on the couch. Let me have your room. Yeah. The answer is no, Lee. He’s not in. Let him answer. Uh, look, if this living situation’s a little too cozy for you all, uh, I can always go back to my dad’s.

Oh, I love having you here. My brother’s just gonna have to get used to the couch. He made it. Now he gets to lie in it.

Well, it seems you are wrestling with an impossible. And which question is that? Well, on one hand, you could rely on the Keri Aus that went crying to your husband when he didn’t get his way. Any other on the other, you could rely on the Keri Aus that lied to your daughter after he perpetrated an ill-fated kidnapping scheme.

Well, that’s why I’m the c e I get paid to make those tough calls. I suppose that’s true. Mm-hmm. . Well, most people would think it’s an easy call and Alex. May not be a loyal employee, but he’s not a felon. But you are not most people are you Maggie? No, I’m not. I actually think you did a pretty good job when you were in charge, uh, a few years back.

You might be the only one, maybe. So still is fun to imagine. Oh, you and the two of us taking on the corporate world, defying expectations both. No. Victor would never sign off on it. So I’m ceo. Victor doesn’t get a say. Not about Alex. And not about you.

Maddie, are you home? But who’s Maddie? Leo. Where you, what? You live here with Leo Stark. I. The little twrp cost me my spot at running tight. Whoa. And it’s a good thing that that little twerp isn’t here, isn’t it? Oh, it’s a good thing. . Right now I believe we were in search of a nightcap. That’s what we came here for.

Now, is that the only thing you came here for?

This isn’t making sense what is happening to me. Oh, I don’t, oh gosh. I, I don’t know how he managed it, but Steph had must have switched the drinks. How? Why? I don’t know.

This is probably his plan all along. But how did he figure it out? Ah, this might be my fault. What you guys said that Stefan was on drugs and something about that didn’t really sit right. So I got my hands on a copy of the lab reports you had ordered. I found out what was in the vi. I thought you guys were trugging it.

My God. You told him. I know. I didn’t say it was you. Oh God. I.

You know, your brother warned me that you were still feeling the effects of what Dr. Rolf had put you through, but clearly he’s the one we should be worried about. Well, I appreciate your concern for my brother’s wellbeing, but he’s resilient now. You don’t have to defend on family obligation. Our obligation is to the shareholders.

You’re right. Sometimes I’m too loyal for my own good. Uh, may I speak freely? Of course, yes. I have been worried about my brother ever since the death of his mother and something like that. It leaves a mark. Oh, clearly your worries are justified. What can we do about it? He and I are equal. Perhaps not for long.

Where did Trip and Wendy go? They went outside to get some air. Hmm. So they didn’t want tole

a. A. Apparently not. Gabby. That outfit is incredible. Mm. Well it’s not for you. It’s for when my six months of hell are up and I can finally sleep with the man that I love. I see. So this is you torturing me. Yeah. For you torturing me. Mm. Yeah. Museum. Incredible meal. How can you stand it? I can, so I guess all there’s left for me to do is to go back to that big, cozy bed all by myself.

You know, I’ve been meaning to ask you that contract that I signed, I know that I can’t be with Stephan, but, and there’s nothing in there that says I can’t dream about him. Right. Imagining him in that bed with me. Ripping off this outfit, taking me into his arms, making love to me all night long. Okay, well have a good night on the.

Victor can’t stop you from bringing me in to replace Alex. Hmm. Now you just need a good answer for the other 10,473 reasons why it’d be a terrible idea for you to do that. Well, I’ll get to work on that right away. In the meantime, I need to go home. Um, you wanna share an elevator? Absolutely. I just need to do a quick text.

Can you gimme a second? I’ll meet you in the hallway. Hey. Hmm. Thank you for listening to all my stupid Mistakes and standing by me anyway. You are, you’re a very loyal person. Who knows? I may be asking for that loyalty in return. Pretty soon.

Maybe we should just enjoy that drink. Okay. Can’t blame the guy for trying Right.

You, um, can’t blame for trying not one. You okay?

Okay.

No. No, not. Okay.

Let’s change that up, shall we?

Days of Our Lives Update

Update written by Joseph

Eric brings Sloan breakfast in bed and says it was her first time staying at his place, so he wanted to do something special for her. Sloan calls that sweet and kisses him. Sloan says she does have one important question and asks if last night was the best sex of his life.

EJ wakes up in bed with a headache. Nicole brings him a glass of his mom’s special hangover cure.

Stefan is on the phone with Wei in the living room, apologizing for EJ’s behavior and agreeing that it’s totally unacceptable. Stefan asks if he’s given any more thought to relieving EJ of his duties. Stefan says to let him know once he’s made up his mind and hangs up. Johnny then walks in to the room.

Xander goes to the Spectator office where he finds Leo asleep at his desk. Xander questions why he’s sleeping in the office. Leo responds that he couldn’t sleep in his room because he was giving Xander and Gwen their privacy. Xander questions what he’s talking about.

Gwen wakes up in bed complaining of how much they drank last night. Gwen is then shocked to see Alex in bed next to her and questions what he’s doing in her bed. Alex responds that he won’t be offended that she forgot his name but he will be if she forgot their night of passion which Gwen questions and can’t believe it.

Eric thinks Sloan is taking Leo’s gossip column a little too seriously. Sloan tells him to just humor her and asks if last night was the best of his life. Eric calls it great so Sloan takes that as not the best. Eric says he doesn’t kiss and tell. Sloan remarks that he would if she was the best, so clearly she’s not. Eric tells her not to make this a competition and to admit they have an amazing time together. Sloan feels that not’s enough since Nicole pointed out that Leo wrote that Eric was the best sex of Sloan’s life while he never said that she was the best sex of Eric’s life. Sloan then claims that she never said that and that Leo made it up. Eric asks if she’s questioning the integrity of Leo’s “Lady Whistleblower” column. Sloan says since Eric is being evasive and coy, she demands another shot. Sloan declares that no matter how many times it takes, she’s going to prove Nicole wrong as they kiss and move on to the bed.

Nicole reminds EJ of how he made her drink this when she had a hangover and points out that it does work. EJ stops her and argues that he wasn’t hungover, he was drugged by his brother. Nicole points out that they don’t know that for sure and it could’ve been an accident. EJ assures that he switched the cups correctly, so Stefan must have switched them back. Nicole guesses Stefan knows he’s on to him then. EJ has no doubt since Johnny gave him the heads up and Stefan took full advantage.

Johnny questions Stefan trying to get EJ fired and if that’s his goal. Stefan argues that is EJ’s goal since he was a total disaster last night. Johnny calls Stefan a two face traitor and declares that it’s because he was drugging him.

Leo tells Xander not to be coy with him since when he got back to the room last night, he saw the “do not disturb” sign on the door, so he assumed that Xander took his advice and got back with Gwen so he didn’t want to interrupt their steamy reunion. Xander informs Leo that there was no reunion as they didn’t get back together. Leo notes that Xander is officially divorced from Sarah now so he questions why not make it officially official with Gwen. Xander admits he’s still in love with Sarah, so he can’t fully commit to Gwen. Leo hopes he didn’t say that to Gwen. Xander says he did because he had to be honest which Leo disagrees with. Xander questions the point of lying to her. Leo argues that it would’ve been to protect Gwen’s feelings and calls him an insensitive jerk. Leo worries that Gwen must be in agony now with her heart shattered. Xander says he feels terrible but he cares too much about Gwen to lead her on when she deserves better than that. Leo agrees and declares that he’s going to comfort Gwen and let her know that she’s too special to waste her time on Xander. Leo then stops and questions why the do not disturb sign was on the door if they weren’t having sexy time last night.

Gwen says she remembers now and it’s all coming back to her. Gwen recalls she and Alex running in to each other at the small bar and getting drunk because Xander couldn’t get over Sarah. Alex adds that he lost his job. Gwen remembers that Maggie stole his job and then they came here for a night cap. Alex adds that they had wild, hot, passionate, no holds barred sex. Gwen complains that her head is pounding. Alex thinks this was a first for him to be with a British woman. Gwen says she’s American so Alex questions her accent. Alex decides it doesn’t matter and all that matters is that she really turns him on. Alex starts kissing Gwen but she says this can’t happen again and calls it a terrible mistake.

Leo asks Xander again why the do not disturb sign was on the door. Xander supposes Gwen wanted to be left alone. Leo worries that Gwen was crying her eyes out all night long. Leo blames Xander for being honest and treating her like second fiddle to Sarah. Leo adds that now that even though Sarah left town to get away from him, he still treats Gwen like an afterthought as if she doesn’t live up to his standards which he calls completely absurd. Leo decides he’s going to see Gwen in person to stop her from doing something she might regret. Leo then storms out of the office.

Alex questions Gwen calling last night a mistake. Gwen points out that they are practically strangers and only knew each other for a few hours but just jumped right in to bed with each other. Alex blows it off as a one night stand. Gwen reminds him that she’s in love with another man. Alex states that Xander is still in love with Sarah, so Gwen used him to get back at Xander. Gwen admits she did and apologizes. Alex tells her not to be sorry and says he’s not, noting that he’s still trying to get over Stephanie and she’s with Chad, so he has no reason to feel guilty either. Alex tells Gwen that they are both single, consenting adults so what they did is perfectly normal and acceptable. Gwen agrees and says she doesn’t owe Xander anything. Alex tells her that they are free to have all the earth shattering sex they want with no regrets. Gwen agrees that it was pretty great. Alex thinks it deserves an encore as he kisses Gwen.

Stefan reminds Johnny that he tipped him off that someone was drugging him and now he’s accusing him of drugging EJ, so he questions which one it is. Johnny suggests maybe both. Stefan claims to be confused but Johnny says he’s not. Johnny tells Stefan not to try to manipulate him, reminding him that he’s a DiMera too. Johnny says after he tipped him off, he decided to get back at EJ and switch the cups on him, causing EJ to get drugged. Stefan responds that it all depends on if EJ was drugging him and asks if he’s telling him that his own brother has been plotting against him.

Nicole fills EJ in on how he called Wei old, talked about Johnny being possessed by the Devil, and then shoved Stefan. Nicole calls it hard to watch. EJ feels he will have to do major damage control now. EJ says with Wei, he’ll just express great attrition but Stefan is a whole other story. Nicole thinks there’s only one move to make with Stefan since he now knows EJ is on to him, so this is all pointless. Nicole tells EJ that it’s time for him to confront Stefan once and for all.

Sloan and Eric lay in bed together. Sloan decides she’s not going to care about Nicole or the gossip column anymore because she realizes it’s incredibly demeaning to compare with his exes when she knows she’s the best sex he’s ever had. Eric admires her self confidence while Sloan admires his impressive staying power. Sloan adds that he might have earned a pass on her retainer fee but says she’ll still charge his defense. Sloan mentions that she thinks the case will be over pretty quickly since both charges resulted from Eric pretending to be her paralegal, so she can just make those charges go away by not cooperating. Eric brings up the kidnapping charge being left. Sloan thinks she can cut a deal with Melinda Trask. Sloan then gets a text from Melinda and tells Eric that it’s bad news.

Brady and Belle eat together at the Brady Pub. Brady thanks her again for taking his case as he knows it’s going to be a lot of extra work for her. Belle thinks it’s best for her to be busy right now. Brady knows how close Belle was with Marlena and says he misses her every day. Brady adds that he thinks Marlena would be upset with the rift Belle is having with Eric right now. Belle says she just wants to eat breakfast right now. Brady says he gets her and Sami as that’s almost normal, but she and Eric have always gotten along. Belle says that was before Eric became a moody jerk. Brady thinks he’s just going through a tough time. Belle insists on not representing Eric. Brady then reveals that Eric already has a lawyer. Belle can’t believe it’s Sloan, who she calls a horrible, heartless bitch.

Sloan reveals that Eric is being charged with attempted murder since apparently that Stefan’s heart stopped while Dr. Rolf was zapping him. Eric argues that he wasn’t even there during that. Sloan says the list goes on with charges. Eric thought she said this would be easy and questions how this is even possible. Sloan reveals that it may be because of something she said.

EJ agrees with Nicole that it’s time to bring this fight out in the open. Nicole knows it’s going to get ugly because they live under the same roof. EJ says Stefan can do his worst as he’s not afraid of him but he just doesn’t want Nicole being pulled in to it. Nicole tells him not to worry about her as she can hold her own. EJ guesses there is no sense in putting this off any longer so he’ll let her know how it goes. Nicole stops him and says he needs to take a shower first to clear his mind. EJ agrees and invites her to join him as they kiss.

Stefan asks Johnny if his own brother is plotting against him. Johnny tells Stefan that he sees through him and that he’s just playing the victim. Stefan argues that he is the victim since the cup that EJ drugged was meant for him. Johnny questions him admitting to switching the cups. Stefan asks what he was supposed to do and says he was giving EJ a taste of his own medicine. Johnny doesn’t know what’s going on but says they need to figure it out since they are brothers and shouldn’t be trying to tear each other apart. Stefan questions if Johnny really thinks he should be lecturing him on brotherly love. Johnny asks what that is supposed to mean. Stefan brings up reading in the gossip column that Johnny almost slept with his twin sister’s girlfriend which led to the demise of their relationship. Johnny calls that different and argues that it’s not what happened as he declares that Allie and Chanel broke up because Allie decided to have a one night stand with Alex Kiriakis.

Alex and Gwen have another round of sex. Alex asks if she’s still having regrets. Alex suggests a round three and kisses her but Gwen says she can’t as she has to get to work. Gwen decides she will take a shower. Alex wants to get in with her but Gwen says no as she’s in a hurry. Alex decides he will make a cup of coffee then as Gwen heads to the shower. Leo then comes home, worrying about Gwen but walks in to find Alex naked and making coffee. Alex puts his underwear on and asks if Leo is okay. Leo says he just needs to catch his breath and asks what Alex is doing here. Alex says it’s not his place. Leo starts saying that his wish must have come true and starts flirting with him but Alex stops him and says that he’s not here because of him. Leo asks why he’s here naked then. Alex reminds him of who else is staying in this room. Gwen then comes out of the shower and Leo is shocked.

Belle doesn’t get it as she thought Sloan dumped Eric because she was pissed at him for getting Dr. Rolf out of jail. Brady says apparently she forgave him. Belle thought they were done with Sloan and doesn’t understand how she and Eric got together in the first place, questioning what Eric sees in her. Brady admits that she’s kind of hot. Belle complains that he’s such a man. Brady jokes that he’s been called worse. Belle argues that he can’t actually think Sloan is good for Eric. Brady assures that he doesn’t at all, but acknowledges that Sloan has been there for him when things went south. Brady adds that with his history with Kristen, he’s in no position to judge. Belle calls Sloan a nightmare and hopes that Eric at least keeps it professional this time.

Eric doesn’t get how this could be Sloan’s fault when Melinda threw the book at him. Sloan reveals that it may be because she told her to which Eric questions. Sloan explains that it was before she agreed to take his case and she was still angry with him, but she didn’t know she had such influence over Melinda. Eric blames the stupid gossip column while Sloan blames Eric’s stupid actions. Eric tells Sloan to talk Melinda out of it then. Sloan points out that Melinda has already gone to the press with it so she’s not going to back out. Eric guesses he’s screwed then but Sloan says not necessarily.

Johnny admits to Stefan that he and Allie had some real knockdown drag outs but at the end of the day, they love each other. Johnny can’t believe he has to say this, but you don’t drug your sibling to sabotage their career. Stefan knows he means well but says it’s between he and EJ. Johnny argues that it’s affecting the whole family and the company, pointing out that the stocks are down and Wei Shin is unhappy so the whole thing is a mess. Stefan says he will get it under control. Johnny says not while at war with EJ. Johnny suggests going to get EJ right now so they can hash this out now. Stefan then gets a call from Sloan, who asks if they can have a little chat.

Gwen tells Alex that she’s all done in the shower so he can take his. Alex thanks her and says there’s something seriously wrong with her friend. Alex kisses her on the cheek and then heads to the shower. Leo questions Gwen, who confirms that she and Alex had sex twice. Leo is excited for her but then says he was worried sick about her since he ran in to Xander at the office, who told him what happened so he raced over here, thinking that she would be holed up and licking her wounds but it turns out she was licking something else entirely. Gwen jokingly tells him not to be so filthy. Leo points out that she bagged two of the hottest guys in Salem in Xander and Alex. Leo calls her a queen and jokes that he both hates and respects her at the same time. Leo adds that he got a sneak peek at Alex’s main attraction which he calls epic. Gwen agrees, so Leo asks her to give him all the details.

Nicole offers to go with EJ to confront Stefan since he’s less likely to kill him with her there. EJ argues that this is not her fight but Nicole feels it is since she was Stefan’s unintended victim. Nicole adds that they are seeing each other again which makes them a team. Nicole says for them to go kick his brother’s ass. Nicole kisses EJ and then they exit the bedroom together.

Johnny pours himself a cup of coffee but then stops and says better safe than sorry as he puts it down. EJ and Nicole walk in to the living room and greet him. Johnny asks how EJ is feeling. EJ says he’s better and thanks him. EJ thanks Johnny for helping him out last night and getting him out before he made an even bigger fool of himself in front of Wei Shin. Johnny says it’s probably no surprise to him that Stefan is pushing for Wei to fire EJ. EJ confirms it’s not and asks where his backstabbing brother is. Johnny informs EJ that he just missed him. Johnny hopes EJ is not mad at him for warning Stefan, but points out that it’s like Stefan said he was just giving EJ a taste of his own medicine. EJ responds that Johnny doesn’t understand as he didn’t start the whole drugging business, Stefan did.

Belle gets Melinda’s message about going for attempted murder which upsets Brady, who argues that he wasn’t trying to murder Stefan, he was trying to help him. Eric and Sloan come downstairs. Sloan guesses they got the message from Melinda which Brady calls pretty ridiculous. Belle points out that Sloan missed a button on her top and mutters so much for keeping it professional. Eric assumes that Brady told Belle that he hired Sloan. Belle calls it one bad decision after another. Eric argues that Sloan is an excellent attorney and Belle gave him no choice. Belle admits it would be best for them to work together. Belle acknowledges that she and Sloan don’t get along but they do have a common goal in keeping Eric and Brady out of prison. Belle suggests they go around Melinda and call Stefan. Sloan then reveals that she already did as Stefan then arrives at the Pub.

Gwen starts telling Leo about how the night started but Leo says that’s not what he wants to hear. Leo says nobody cares about the setup and wants a vivid picture of Alex in bed. Gwen starts but gets interrupted by her phone. Gwen says there’s an emergency with an advertiser so she has to get to work. Gwen asks Leo to tell Alex that she had to run. Leo complains that she better give him the details later and says it will be great for his gossip column but Gwen warns him against doing that. Gwen then exits the room.

Johnny goes over that Stefan spiked EJ’s drink, EJ switched it, and then Stefan switched it back. Nicole says it’s been going on for too long. EJ explains that technically he never drugged Stefan and that Stefan had drugged himself. Johnny questions why Stefan is doing all of this in the first place. EJ suspects that Stefan holds a grudge against him for not telling him about the brainwashing. Johnny says that’s great and now they can just call it even. EJ admits he was coming to confront him but guesses he missed his chance. Nicole decides she should get to work then. Johnny mentions that he was heading out too and offers Nicole a ride which she accepts. Nicole tells EJ that she will see him tonight and exits with Johnny.

Stefan sits down with Sloan and Belle while Brady and Eric step aside. Sloan thanks Stefan for meeting them. Belle notes that she was just telling Sloan that they have a common goal. Stefan guesses that’s getting her brothers off the hook for what they did to him. Sloan realizes their methods were wreckless. Stefan complains that they kidnapped him, knocked him out, and tied him to a bed so a madman could experiment on him. Sloan points out that in the end, the experiment was a success and he’s back to the man he was. Stefan calls it still a hell of a risk that they took without his consent. Brady remarks that he’s one to talk about consent. Belle tells him to let them handle this. Sloan admits what their clients did was extreme but repeats that in the end, it all worked out for the best. Sloan asks Stefan to please not press charges. Stefan responds that as much as he hates to admit it, in the end, they did him a favor. Stefan tells them to consider the charges dropped. Brady and Eric come back over and thank Stefan. Stefan tells them to thank their lawyers and then exits the Pub. Belle and Sloan then agree that they still can’t stand each other.

Gwen goes to the Spectator office where Xander says he didn’t think she was coming in today. Gwen says she heard there was a problem with an advertiser. Xander says he was about to take care of it but Gwen says she’s here now, so she can. Xander adds that he’s happy to cover it if she wants to take the day off. Gwen questions why she would do that. Xander tells her that she doesn’t have to put up a front with him and mentions that Leo was just here, so he feels terrible that she spent the night all alone crying in her room. Gwen then reveals to Xander that she wasn’t alone as she was busy hitting the sheets with his cousin, Alex.

Alex comes out of the shower and asks where Gwen is. Leo responds that she had to go to work so it’s just them. Alex says that’s good because he wanted a moment alone with him. Leo excitedly says he did too but Alex says he has a bone to pick with the guy who ruined his career.

Brady sits back down with Belle and tells her that breakfast is on him after she just saved his life. Belle is thankful that Stefan was willing to listen to reason. Brady remarks that Belle and Sloan make a pretty good team so maybe they should put a firm together. Belle asks who would then represent her when she throws Sloan out the woman. Belle assures there will be no more teaming up with Sloan as she still loathes her and wishes Eric would stay away from her.

Johnny and Nicole walk through the town square. Nicole apologizes for lying to Johnny and Wendy about what was going on. Johnny jokes that she’s not the first person to keep a secret for EJ. Johnny acknowledges Nicole and EJ are getting pretty close, so he asks if that means she’s over Eric. Nicole then sees Eric and Sloan walking through the town square together in the distance. Nicole tells Johnny that she’s getting there.

EJ sits in the living room and tells the portrait of Stefano that he’s sure he doesn’t approve of all this in-fighting but whether he likes it or not, there’s going to be a reckoning between he and Stefan. Stefan then comes home and enters the room.

Update written by Joseph

Gwen goes to the Bistro and starts drinking. Alex arrives and asks if she had a bad day. Gwen calls it the worst. Alex tells her to join the club as he sits at her table. Gwen points out that she didn’t invite him to sit there and questions why he is here. Alex responds that members of the bad day club have to stick together. Gwen supposes she can’t argue with that. Alex and Gwen officially introduce themselves. Gwen comments that they have so many people in common already. Alex asks who put her in such a rotten mood. Gwen responds that it was his rotten cousin, Xander.

At the Titan office, Maggie tells Xander that she’s sorry his talk with Gwen didn’t go so well. Maggie asks if it was bad business wise or relationship wise. Xander says it was both and he made Gwen so angry that he doesn’t think there’s any relationship left.

Johnny guesses he will have to confront EJ because you can’t do something that underhanded and expect to get away with it. Tripp then comes home and asks if Johnny means like what he just did to him. Johnny questions where his anger is coming from. Wendy says she doesn’t get it either and asks what Tripp thinks Johnny did to him. Tripp responds that he knows exactly what Johnny did and he can’t dodge this one, because he has the receipts.

Li and Gabi sit together for dinner. Li asks if she had fun at the Van Gogh exhibit. Gabi responds that she’s not going to complain about seeing Van Gogh paintings up close. Li compliments her until Gabi asks if they are really going to keep doing this. Li reminds her that going to the exhibit was her idea after he found her with Stefan, so he thought she was making amends. Gabi says she was making the best of a situation and didn’t know dinner was going to be a part of it. Li asks what’s wrong with dinner. Gabi claims she’s not hungry. Li insists that she loves the steak here. Gabi questions if he thinks she’ll just let go of Stefan and love him again at the end of their six months deal. Li says that’s right but points out that things can happen a lot sooner than that.

EJ, Nicole, Stefan, and Wei Shin toast their drinks. EJ thinks back to switching he and Stefan’s drinks after Stefan drugged his. Stefan then thinks back to switching he and EJ’s drinks back. EJ remarks that this feels like it’s going to be a night to remember. Stefan comments that he couldn’t have said it better himself.

Alex hopes Gwen doesn’t hold it against him that he and Xander are related even though blood is the only bond they have, especially after the whole kidnapping mess. Gwen doesn’t want to talk about that. Gwen adds that Xander’s actual crimes are the least of her issues with him. Gwen states that Xander tried to be good in his own way. Xander asks if she tried to be good too and how that’s working out for her. Gwen asks what he thinks. Alex says it seems to him that in a weird way, she and Xander are a pretty damn good match. Gwen responds that it’s not the match that Xander wants despite the fact that Sarah wants nothing to do with him, Xander will never stop loving her.

Xander tells Maggie that he realized he was leading Gwen on which he didn’t want to do. Xander really thought that once he saw the final divorce decree, he would finally accept that he and Sarah are over for good. Maggie doesn’t think it works that way. Xander confirms that his feelings didn’t miraculously disappear, so he can’t lie to Gwen about that even if Sarah hates him. Maggie encourages that Sarah doesn’t hate him, she’s just done with him. Maggie warns Xander to get over Sarah or he could end up alone.

Gabi complains that Li needs to listen when people tell him things as she repeats she doesn’t love him, noting that he keeps saying he’s going to win her back and is starting to sound delusional. Li calls it being hopeful while Gabi calls it a pipe dream and a chore. Li suggests she look at it like the quality time they are spending is him doing her a favor since the more time she spends with him, the less time she spends fighting her temptation to be with Stefan. Li reminds Gabi that if she caves, she loses out on all his DiMera shares. Li questions if one night of nostalgia with Stefan is really worth that.

Stefan talks to Wei about finding a new start up company in South Africa that is hungry for investors. EJ says he must have missed the memo on this. Stefan says he was going to brief him in the morning. Nicole guesses it was a misunderstanding. Stefan remarks that he’s sure EJ was caught off guard, just like he was caught off guard by Wei joining them for dinner tonight so now they are even. EJ decides to go check on dinner and invites Nicole to join him since she had a request for the chef. EJ and Nicole step out and complain about Stefan trying to win Wei Shin’s favor. EJ points out Stefan saying they were even and says they only will be after the drugs kick in and Stefan starts making a fool of himself which Nicole says should be any minute now.

Back in the living room, Wei praises Stefan for his work on the start up company in South Africa and says that he seems to be on top of things. Stefan notes that he sounds surprised. Wei reveals that he had a conversation earlier with EJ, who worried that Stefan was still feeling the effects of what Dr. Rolf put him through. Stefan says he appreciates EJ’s concern but assures that he’s perfectly fine…

Alex and Gwen drink shots. Alex suggests maybe Xander will come around. Gwen says she has told herself that so many times. Alex comments that feelings are weird and sometimes they can take a little while to sort out. Gwen informs Alex that Xander said once he sees the divorce decree, reality would set in. Alex guesses that’s not what happened. Gwen says reality set in for her, not him. Alex asks if Xander told her that he doesn’t want to be with her. Gwen responds that Xander said he still loves Sarah and he doesn’t know if he’ll ever get over her. Alex tells her that he’s sorry to hear. Gwen adds that the worst part is that Xander was trying not to hurt her by saying it’s not fair to lead her on while still have feelings for Sarah. Alex guesses that’s honorable but Gwen disagrees and argues that she’s the best thing to ever happen to Xander and he’ll never know. Gwen starts calling for another refill but Alex decides the next round is on him. Gwen says she’s been going on about herself and hasn’t even asked why Alex is here and so miserable. Gwen guesses it has to do with a lady. Alex confirms he did ruin things with the best thing he ever had in his life but says that’s not the reason he’s here tonight. Alex declares that he’s here tonight because of Sarah Horton’s mother.

Xander asks why he’s telling Sarah’s mother all of this. Maggie suggests maybe he expects her to get in touch with Sarah and let her know that he still loves her. Xander says no unless she wants to. Maggie reminds him that she wished they worked it out, but she learned her lesson. Maggie says she made her feelings clear to Sarah but she’s going to stay out of it. Xander understands he’s lost Sarah and has driven Gwen away. Xander remarks that it seems he can’t help but hurt the women in his life. Maggie says there seems to be a lot of that going around..

Wendy questions what this is about. Johnny is sure it’s nothing. Tripp explains that Johnny came asking for his help with some lab results for EJ but he couldn’t help him, so Johnny stole his ID, impersonated him, and stole the results from the lab. Wendy questions that being how Johnny got those results. Tripp complains that Johnny put his reputation on the line all because he and his family think they are always above the rules.

Stefan comments on knowing how much Wei admired Stefano. Wei talks about his drive being unmatched and never letting anyone get the best of him. Stefan says that’s why he’s trying to follow in his father’s footsteps. On the other side of the room, EJ complains to Nicole about Stefan trying to impress Wei. EJ remarks that Stefan will get what’s coming to him soon. EJ decides they will go join them to see how things are progressing. EJ stumbles. Nicole tells EJ good job on making Stefan thinking he’s drugged but suggests toning it down a little. EJ then asks if it’s a little warm in the room as Stefan watches on. Wei is glad EJ threw this dinner party as he gave him a chance to emphasize the importance of raising their stock price. Nicole assures that it’s all EJ is thinking about. Stefan adds that EJ is doing everything in his power that no mistakes happen again. Nicole adds that EJ is using this opportunity to make changes within this company. Stefan says he’s produced a new program to teach all employees media strategy and he’s sure EJ is on board. EJ tries to speak but Stefan says he’s not finished. Stefan talks about being sure that the culture is going to change. EJ yells at Stefan to stop talking and says that Wei heard him the first time, remarking that he’s old, not deaf.

Maggie asks if Xander distancing himself from Gwen means he’s quitting the Spectator. Xander says Gwen doesn’t want him there. Maggie reminds him that he owns half of it. Xander admits that it’s Gwen’s legacy, not his. Maggie points out that means he’s unemployed again. Xander assures that he’ll find a legal way. Maggie then suggests Xander take over for Alex at Titan and says she wouldn’t complain.

Alex informs Gwen that Maggie got the job that he was expecting at Titan. Gwen asks if he has a problem answering to strong women. Alex responds that he loves strong women so gender is not the problem, but that job should be his and he should be on the cover of the Spectator with his plans for the company. Gwen asks why isn’t it him then. Alex explains that Victor got wind of some gossip about his extra curricular activities which Gwen laughs at. Gwen admits that she is the new lead at the Spectator and Leo is her gossip columnist. Gwen asks what the big deal is since Alex is handsome, charming, and rich, so why shouldn’t have a romp with two beautiful and willing women. Alex likes the way she thinks but says Victor is old school. Gwen questions if Maggie is really best for the job and if Victor thinks she’s CEO material. Alex thanks her and is excited that someone else sees his point. Gwen thinks he will have to follow Maggie’s orders to get what he wants. Gwen tells him not to cause trouble and he gets to live a fabulous life. Alex wishes he was told that yesterday.

Wendy brings up that Johnny just said he has his ways when she asked how he got the test results. Tripp accuses him of identity theft. Wendy asks Johnny about it. Tripp says they don’t have to believe him, they can just call the lab director who called him, looking for his lost badge. Wendy asks what he said. Tripp explains that he figured out someone unauthorized got those reports. Wendy asks if Johnny is going to say something. Johnny then admits he used Tripp’s badge to get the results. Tripp reminds him that it’s illegal. Johnny argues that they needed answers because he and Wendy are trying to help someone. Tripp asks if he’s actually throwing Wendy under the bus. Wendy questions why Johnny lied to her about how he got the results. Tripp declares that Johnny knew how she would react and he’s too much of a coward to be honest.

Li recalls he and Gabi’s last dinner where they ordered the most expensive bottle of wine. Li remembers it as one of the best nights of his life and says he never felt closer to anyone. Li can tell Gabi remembers too. Gabi stops him and says she knows what he’s trying to do. Li asks if it’s working.

EJ apologizes to Wei for his outburst and blames himself for what happened to the stock. Wei understands it’s frustrating. Nicole encourages that the frustration will be gone once he gets the price up. EJ says dinner should be ready and suggests they eat. Wei and Stefan head to the kitchen. Nicole talks to EJ about how he’s supposed to pretend to be impaired, not insult Wei Shin. EJ says he didn’t mean to say that and he doesn’t know what happened, just Stefan got under his skin. Nicole notes that EJ looks sweaty. EJ says it’s warm in here but Nicole says it’s not. Nicole asks if he’s sure he switched the correct drinks with Stefan because Stefan is acting fine while EJ seems off. EJ insists he’s fine and that the drugs will kick in on Stefan soon so they are going to dinner where Stefan will prove he’s unfit by going face first in to his soup so they head to the kitchen.

Xander questions Maggie about Alex undercutting her authority and still having a job. Maggie says she let him off with a warning since he was only being passionate about something he believes in. Alex argues that she can’t have insubordination in her ranks. Maggie admits that she didn’t want to become CEO and fire the only other Kiriakis in the company on her first day. Maggie wishes she had a Kiriakis she could count on…

Alex tells Gwen that he wasn’t just going to let Maggie shut the door on Bella so he took his concerns to Victor. Gwen goes over that Alex went behind his boss’s back to her husband. Alex guesses he’s not a team player. Gwen can’t find one person in his family who is and says they all go after what they want, consequences be damned. Alex asks how Gwen was raised. Gwen responds that she mostly raised herself but it doesn’t seem like either of them have gotten what they want. Alex and Gwen toast to misery as they drink another shot. Alex then asks if Gwen wants to get out of here.

Johnny apologizes for getting Tripp in trouble but says that he gave him no choice since he asked for help but he didn’t want to give it to him, so he borrowed his badge for ten minutes. Wendy argues that he stole it. Johnny asks if Wendy thinks what EJ is doing to Stefan is okay then. Wendy argues that both are wrong and adds that Johnny knew this was wrong, or he wouldn’t have kept it from her. Wendy tells Johnny to go and questions what they have if she can’t trust him. Johnny says he’ll text her tomorrow when she’s had time to think about this and understands. Johnny then exits the apartment. Tripp apologizes to Wendy and asks if she’s okay. Wendy responds that Allie warned her about how impulsive and selfish Johnny could be and guesses she’s still trying to learn what that means.

EJ, Nicole, Stefan, and Wei return to the living room after dinner. Stefan offers to get everyone coffee and drugs EJ’s cup. As Stefan talks to Wei, EJ switches he and Stefan’s cups. Afterwards, as EJ and Nicole talk to Wei, Stefan switches the cups back. EJ suggests Stefan show Wei the sculpture he purchased at an auction. Stefan notes that their father actually owned it in the 60s. After Stefan and Wei leave the room, Nicole asks if EJ drugged him again. EJ suggests maybe he didn’t get enough in the first drink, but this time he’s going down..

Gabi calls Li’s flirting shameless. Li says he was just remembering what it was like to be in bed with her and hoping she would forget about Stefan. Gabi admires his persistence. Li asks what else she admires about him. Gabi then calls for the check but Li says they can’t leave yet since he pre-ordered dessert. Gabi says they can get it to go, so Li asks if she just wants to go back home like last time.

Tripp apologizes to Wendy for being hard on Johnny. Wendy says that Johnny had it coming and Tripp had every right to be pissed. Tripp complains that it was his first day back at the hospital and he wanted everything to be perfect. Tripp felt it was his responsibility to honor Kayla’s memory. Wendy is sure she would be proud. Tripp knows he’ll never be as good of a doctor as Kayla was but it’s important to him to not stain her reputation or disappoint Steve while he’s still grieving. Wendy insists that he did nothing wrong today so Tripp thanks her. Wendy says she’s really sorry that Johnny put him in this position. Wendy adds that if she knew what he was going to do, she would’ve stopped him.

Stefan and Wei return to the living room. EJ suggests Stefan share numbers for the South Africa project with Wei. Stefan asks if he’s sure he wants him to do that now. EJ asks why not. Johnny then comes home. EJ over excitedly greets Johnny and begins introducing him to Wei, while Nicole tries to ask if they can talk. EJ talks up Wei to Johnny and brings up the Devil possession. Nicole interrupts and says there’s been a mistake so they need to talk. EJ remarks that the only mistake he sees is two CEOs. Johnny asks if EJ is alright. Stefan tells EJ that he doesn’t know what’s going on but he needs to go lie down before he embarrasses himself any further. EJ asks Stefan who he thinks he is. Stefan says that EJ is clearly messed up, so EJ shoves him to the shock of Wei, Nicole, and Johnny. EJ says that was clearly not supposed to happen. Nicole says that EJ didn’t sleep much and was up all night working. EJ whispers to Nicole that he knows he switched it. Nicole says that EJ just needs to freshen up and takes him out of the room. Johnny follows them out. Stefan apologizes to Wei for EJ’s behavior and claims he has no idea what’s going on.

Tripp and Wendy get close until Li and Gabi come home. Li asks if they were interrupting something. Wendy says no and they were just talking, then asks where they were. Gabi says they brought dinner. Wendy goes to help get it ready while Tripp sits with Li. Li tries to convince Tripp to take the couch so he can take his room but Wendy says he’s not interested. Tripp says if the living situation is too much, he can always go back to his dad’s, but Wendy says she loves having him here so her brother is just going to have to get used to the couch.

Xander comments that it seems Maggie is wrestling with an impossible question as to rely on the Kiriakis who lied to her about going behind her back to her husband or rely on the Kiriakis who lied to her daughter after his ill-fated kidnapping scheme. Maggie says that’s why she’s the CEO, getting paid to make those tough calls. Maggie says most people would think it’s an easy call since Alex may not be the most reliable, but he’s not a felon. Xander points out that she’s not most people. Maggie agrees that she’s not and actually thinks Xander did a pretty good job when he was in charge a few years ago. Xander says it’s fun to imagine them taking on the corporate world and defying expectations, but they both know Victor wouldn’t sign off on it. Maggie declares that she is the CEO, so Victor doesn’t get a say about Alex or Xander.

Gwen brings Alex home to her room at the Salem Inn. Alex questions her living here with Leo Stark and complains that Leo cost him his job at Titan. Gwen jokes that it’s a good thing Leo isn’t home then. Gwen brings up that they came here for a night cap so she pours them drinks. Alex asks if that’s the only thing they came for.

Nicole and Johnny help EJ to his bedroom as EJ says this doesn’t make sense what is happening to him. Nicole doesn’t know how but says Stefan must have switched the drinks. EJ questions how and why. EJ guesses this was Stefan’s plan all along but asks how he figured it out. Johnny realizes this might be his fault which Nicole questions. Johnny argues that they said Stefan was on drugs and that didn’t sit right with him, so he got his hands on the test results from the vial and he thought they were drugging Stefan. EJ questions if he told him. Johnny says he didn’t say it was him. EJ worries that he’s now ruined as he falls back on to his bed.

Wei brings up that EJ warned him that Stefan was still feeling the effects of what Dr. Rolf put him through, but clearly EJ is the one they should be worried about. Stefan appreciates his concern but says EJ is resilient. Wei tells him that he has no obligation to defend family members as their obligation is to the shareholders. Stefan agrees and says sometimes he’s too loyal for his own good. Stefan then tells Wei that he has been worried about EJ ever since the death of his mother. Wei says clearly his worries have been justified. Stefan asks what he can do since they are equals. Wei says perhaps not for long.

Tripp and Wendy step outside while Gabi strips down to her nightgown which takes Li’s breath away. Li calls the outfit incredible. Gabi responds that it’s not for him, but for six months from now when she can finally sleep with the man she loves. Li guesses this is her torturing him then. Gabi says it’s because he tortured her. Li says it was just an incredible meal. Gabi says she’ll just go to her bed all alone where she will dream all about Stefan. Gabi tells Li to have a good night on the couch and heads to her room.

Xander asks if Victor can’t stop Maggie from bringing him in to replace Alex. Xander then jokes that now she’d just have to go down the list of the other four thousand reasons it’d be a terrible idea for her to do that. Maggie says she’ll get to work on that right away but she needs to go home. Xander says he just needs to send a quick text so Maggie says she’ll meet him in the hallway. Xander thanks her for listening to his stupid mistakes and standing by him anyways. Xander calls her a very loyal person. Maggie says who knows, maybe she’ll be asking for that loyalty in return pretty soon. Maggie then exits the office. Xander texts Gwen that he’s sorry about today and hopes she’s doing alright.

Alex moves towards Gwen but she steps back and suggests they just enjoy that drink. Alex says you can’t blame a guy for trying. Gwen then gets Xander’s text. Gwen then agrees with Alex, who asks if she’s okay. Gwen says she’s not okay and suggests changing that. Gwen then rips Alex’s shirt open and begins kissing him. Gwen removes Alex’s shirt fully as they continue kissing.

Days of Our Lives Update

Days of Our Lives logo

Update written by Joseph

Nicole joins EJ in the living room of the DiMera Mansion. EJ asks her which drink she wants. Nicole says both after the day she had but not yet because their work day isn’t finished yet. Nicole thinks EJ may have a problem. EJ asks what happened. Nicole informs him that she ran in to Johnny in the park and overheard him talking to Wendy. Nicole adds that she doesn’t know how they figured it out but they suspect he is the one drugging Stefan.

At the hospital, Tripp is on the phone with Steve. Tripp says being back at the hospital without Kayla feels wrong and sad, but he wants to do his best to live up to her standard. Tripp says his first day is going okay so far and it’s like he never left. Tripp finishes the call and hangs up as Johnny arrives at the hospital. Johnny tells Tripp that he came to see him.

Alex is at the Titan office, on the phone with Victor. Alex tells Victor about he and Maggie not seeing eye to eye on the future of Bella Magazine, so he was hoping Victor would hear his input before making any major decisions.

Xander returns to the Spectator office and tells Gwen that he wants to talk about them. Gwen is surprised as she thought that would be the last thing he would want to talk about after the way he rushed out. Xander admits that was wrong and cowardly. Gwen understands that she kissed him impulsively and says she just got caught up over the numbers. Xander tells her that she doesn’t have to explain or apologize but he does. Gwen tells him it’s fine but he tells her to let him speak. Xander explains that when he found out his divorce papers were lost, he thought maybe fate was telling him that there was still hope and he knows it’s naïve to hold out hope but that’s what he’s doing which is why he cannot even consider a romantic relationship with Gwen until he knows for sure that his divorce is final. Xander adds that he understands if that’s not okay with her.

Wendy answers the door at her apartment to see her father, Wei Shin. She asks if he came to check up on her. Wei mentions going to the Brady Pub and hearing that Li was living here now. Wendy confirms that Li and Gabi moved in yesterday. Wei questions if Li is still abiding by that ridiculous contract with a woman who doesn’t love him. Wendy suggests taking that up with Li but he’s not home right now. Wei questions someone sleeping on the sofa and if they don’t have enough bedrooms for the three of them. Wendy then reveals that there are four of them because her friend Tripp has moved in.

Johnny comments on hearing Tripp was working at the hospital again which he confirms. Tripp tells Johnny that if this is about Wendy, he has nothing to worry about as there is nothing romantic going on between them and they are just friends. Johnny says he knows because Wendy told him that and he trusts her. Johnny adds that he’s not here about Wendy, but about EJ.

EJ tells Nicole that he could have sworn that Johnny and Wendy believed him when he spoke to them. Nicole says that by the time she got to them, they were questioning Stefan using drugs and wondering if EJ was drugging him. EJ wonders how they figured it out. Nicole doesn’t think they did and that it was just conjecture. EJ asks how she reacted. Nicole says she lied her ass off and even told them that she was there when the investigator told him that Stefan’s fingerprints were on the vial and they seemed to buy it. Nicole hopes they did as they agree that if Johnny knew the truth, he could ruin everything.

Tripp asks Johnny if EJ is alright. Johnny says he’s fine but he did get some tests taken for some DiMera business, so he wondered if he could get a copy of the results. Tripp is afraid he can’t help him as the rules state he would still need written authorization from EJ. Johnny claims that EJ sent him to get the test results for him to save time and questions having to go back to get EJ’s signature. Tripp says he’s sorry but he doesn’t make the rules and he’d prefer not to break any on his first day back.

Wei questions Wendy about living with a guy who is not a boyfriend. Wendy confirms that to be true and reveals that she is seeing Johnny DiMera. Wei questions why he didn’t know that. Wendy says she wasn’t hiding anything but they just started casually dating after being friends for awhile. Wendy knows Johnny isn’t a doctor or a lawyer and he’s not Chinese. Wei says he doesn’t care about that. Wei brings up Li turning his whole world upside down for Gabi while Wendy is cementing their family legacy at the company by being involved with the family heir to DiMera Enterprises. Wei congratulates Wendy and says he’s so proud of her.

EJ questions why Johnny and Wendy have to dig in to every irregularity they come across. Nicole says now that EJ has to figure out a way to assure Johnny that there is no mystery here. Nicole encourages that it’s just because Johnny is worried about him. EJ argues that Johnny is worried about Stefan without knowing what Stefan’s been doing to him. EJ adds that Stefan drugged his water at the office earlier but he was able to switch the bottles. Nicole asks how it affected him. EJ is not sure since he skipped out early again to see Gabi. EJ calls it the second wasted opportunity for Stefan to make a fool of himself at DiMera. Stefan then comes home and says he didn’t miss cocktail hour this time. Stefan then stumbles so EJ and Nicole rush to check on him. Stefan says he just got a little lightheaded. Nicole sits him down and gets him some water. Stefan talks about not knowing why he’s so out of it. EJ blames what Dr. Rolf did to him and it’s side effects or suggests there’s a flu going around. Stefan calls it strange and decides he will go upstairs, splash water on his face, and lay down. EJ tells him to feel better as Stefan then heads upstairs. EJ comments to Nicole that it seems the drug is having it’s effects. Nicole asks how long this is going to go on. EJ says as long as it takes. Nicole argues that if no one at DiMera sees Stefan like this, then it’s all for nothing. EJ responds that Nicole just gave him a brilliant idea.

Alex thanks Victor and says he knew he would see things his way as he hangs up. Maggie comes back and asks if she wasn’t clear that it’s not Alex’s chair anymore. Alex jumps up and apologizes. Maggie mentions that she went downstairs to inform the Bella staff that she is terminating the magazine but they were gone for the day, so she guesses she’ll have to do it tomorrow which Alex says sounds like a plan. Maggie remarks that she’s glad he approves. Maggie hopes that Alex respects her decision. Alex knows he’s the ex-CEO and points out that the only person with authority over her now is Victor. Maggie then gets a call from Victor and asks what she can do for him.

Gwen tells Xander that if he thinks there might be a chance for them, then of course she’s willing to wait. Gwen tells Xander that she loves him and understands if he needs to know that his marriage is over before he can move on. Leo enters and presents Xander with his final divorce decree. Xander questions how he got it so quickly. Leo says he was sweet talking the the guy with the records and he didn’t want to end up in his gossip column, so he expedited the papers. Xander questions him just giviing it to Leo. Leo asks if he’s doubting his charms. Leo then explains that he knew Xander was his boss, so he told him how eager Xander was to move on with his life and now he most certainly can. Xander doesn’t know what to say. Leo suggests thanking him so he does. Leo adds that now that Xander is finally free of Sarah, they can finally celebrate. Leo knows that Sarah rejected Xander and it still hurts, but reminds Xander that Sarah didn’t appreciate that everything he did was so he could support her and she responded by ratting him out to Bonnie and Justin and dumping his ass, while Gwen put her ass on the line for him and sacrificed her relationship with her father to take Xander’s side because that’s how much she cares about him. Gwen tells Leo he doesn’t need to. Leo knows he doesn’t have to sell her to him. Leo tells Xander that no one in his life will ever be as dedicated and loyal as Gwen. Leo adds that if he were Xander, he’d already have a ring on Gwen’s finger.

Maggie thanks Victor for calling and says she really appreciates his insight on this. Maggie hangs up and Alex asks what he wanted. Maggie responds that Victor wanted to talk to her about Bella. Alex asks what he said. Maggie reveals that Victor fully supports her decision to shut down the magazine which catches Alex by surprise. Maggie adds that she was curious how Victor even knew about her decision since she just made it today and Alex was the only one she discussed it with. Alex asks if she thinks he said something to Victor. Maggie then reveals that she knows he did because Victor told her so.

Tripp tells Johnny that if EJ wants his test results, he will have to come get them himself. Tripp adds that he has to go and walks off. Johnny says thanks for nothing and wonders how he’s going to figure out if his dad is lying to him. Johnny then notices that Tripp left his name badge behind, so he grabs it.

Wendy questions Wei approving of something she’s doing. Wendy asks what if she doesn’t care that Johnny is the DiMera heir. Wei says she doesn’t have to care, but he does. Wendy points out that Johnny doesn’t even want to follow in EJ’s footsteps, he wants to make movies. Wei argues that he’s still a DiMera and the heir apparent. Wei says the more time she spends with the DiMeras, the stronger their position will be.

Nicole asks EJ what his brilliant idea is. EJ brings up that Wei Shin is in town for a meeting. Nicole sees where he’s going now. EJ decides he will call Wei. Wei asks what he can do for him. EJ says it’s been a long time since they’ve broke bread, so he invites him over to the DiMera Mansion to dine with his co-CEOs. Wei agrees to be there immediately and they hang up. EJ informs Nicole that Wei is on his way, so now all they have to do is wait for the fireworks.

Wei goes to leave Wendy’s apartment right as Johnny arrives. Wei and Johnny greet each other. Wei notes that Wendy said some very good things about him. Wei says he will give them some privacy as he then exits. Johnny hopes he didn’t chase him off. Wendy assures that he didn’t and asks what’s up. Johnny wondered if she had a minute to take a look at something. Johnny reveals that he got in to the lab and got a copy of the test results EJ ordered on the drug but he has no idea what he’s looking for. Wendy questions how he got this. Johnny says he has his ways. Wendy says she’s an expert in cyber so she will cross search it in the dark web. Wendy gets a hit and says that EJ said it was some kind of recreational street drug but reveals it’s a rare drug that induces euphoria with a lot of nasty side effects. Johnny asks if she’s saying his dad lied to him. Wendy says she’s sorry but she thinks so.

EJ tells Nicole that this is perfect because when Stefan tries to drug him at dinner, he will turn the tables on him and then Stefan will make a fool of himself in front of Wei Shin. Nicole calls Wei the best person to witness his foolishness. EJ adds that Wei is notoriously thin on patience so Stefan could be unemployed by tomorrow. Nicole hopes so but asks if he really wants to do this under Mr. Shin’s nose since there’s more people that could witness him switching the drinks. EJ assures it’s a risk he’s willing to take. EJ adds that if the truth ever does come out, he didn’t drug anyone and it’s all on Stefan so his hands are clean.

Maggie tells Alex that according to Victor, Alex told him that she didn’t have enough experience to make it an informed decision. Maggie questions what he meant by calling to give Victor a heads up that his incompetent wife was making an uninformed decision. Alex says he definitely didn’t say that. Maggie asks if he seriously thought Victor would overrule her, side with him over his own wife, and not tell her that he went behind her back. Alex argues that he just strongly believes in the magazine and it’s nothing personal. Maggie brings up reminding him twice today that the CEO chair no longer belongs to him. Maggie declares that she is his boss and the CEO of this company. Alex says he respects that. Maggie questions if he does because his behavior says otherwise. Maggie adds that if Alex can’t accept the fact that she has the job that he thinks he’s entitled to, then he can resign now.

Leo decides his work is done and leaves Xander and Gwen to be alone. Gwen tells Xander that she’s sorry that Leo put Xander on the spot like that and assures that she didn’t put him up to it but admits he did have a few valid points. Xander agrees that Gwen did put everything on the line for him and sacrificed her own happiness to try and make it work for he and Sarah. Xander says he’s incredibly grateful for that and could never thank her enough but he thought in time, things would become clearer. Xander knows he promised her an answer when his divorce was final, but the truth is he’s still in love with Sarah and he doesn’t know if he’ll ever get over her. Xander adds that Gwen deserves someone who is going to love her with their whole heart. Xander tells Gwen that he’s sorry but he doesn’t think they can be together, at least not right now.

Johnny tells Wendy that it was bad enough thinking EJ or Stefan were using drugs but now thinking EJ is drugging Stefan after everything that Stefan has been through. Johnny wonders what that could do if EJ gets caught. Wendy points out that they still don’t know what’s going on and brings up Nicole saying Stefan’s fingerprints were on the vial. Johnny argues that they don’t know that for sure now since Nicole is sleeping with EJ, so she’d lie for him in a heartbeat. Wendy remembers that EJ called her dad and invited him over for dinner. Wendy wonders if EJ is planning to drug Stefan to get him to make a fool of himself in front of Wei. Johnny believes that’s exactly the plan. Johnny decides that he’s not going to just sit here and do nothing about it. Johnny then calls Stefan and says he hates to tell him this, but he thinks somebody might be drugging him.

Wei Shin arrives at the DiMera Mansion. EJ brings him in to the living room to Nicole. Wei praises Nicole doing an excellent job at Basic Black but mentions hearing that her co-CEO was arrested for kidnapping. Nicole says they are confident the charges will be dropped. EJ adds that they are cooperating with police so they don’t have any scandals on their watch. EJ then confides in Wei that he’s rather worried about Stefan because he’s afraid that what Dr. Rolf did to him may have taken it’s toll on him as he doesn’t seem to be himself. Wei says he hasn’t heard any word about Stefan’s behavior at work, but he’s heard plenty about EJ’s.

Xander apologizes to Gwen and hopes she understands. Gwen responds that she doesn’t understand. Gwen says when there’s blackmail to be done or a dead body to hide, he has no problem turning to her but she is never the person he would take home to meet his mother as she’s just someone to have a couple laughs with and run schemes with but he’d never actually commit to her. Xander reminds Gwen that he was going to marry her until she drugged Sarah. Gwen shouts that he killed Susan Banks while Xander retorts that she killed Laura Horton which Gwen calls an accident. Gwen argues that the point is that he is no better than her and never will be. Gwen complains that Xander puts Sarah on a pedestal because he thinks she will never measure up to her. Gwen asks if that’s what Xander thinks. Xander admits that maybe it is. Gwen is glad he finally had the guts to admit it.

Stefan asks Johnny who he thinks is drugging him and why. Johnny says he can’t get in to all the details and advises him to just be careful what he eats and drinks, especially tonight. Stefan says he needs more information but Johnny says that’s all he’s got right now. Johnny tells Stefan to take care and hangs up. Johnny then tells Wendy that he hopes he did the right thing. Stefan says EJ’s name and laughs.

Wei tells EJ that it seems that he’s more a danger to the company after that debacle at the press conference and says his portfolio is still recovering. EJ apologizes and says he’s not one to make excuses, but says he had a flu and insists he’s fine now. EJ adds that he’s afraid Stefan may have permanent brain damage as a result of what he’s been through. Wei questions if EJ invited him over so he could see for himself. EJ says he invited him as their guest, but he does think Wei will be concerned about what he witnesses. Stefan then enters the living room, surprised to see Wei. EJ informs him that he invited Wei to dinner. Stefan notes that EJ didn’t mention that before. EJ calls it a spur of the moment decision and asks how Stefan is feeling. Stefan says he’s much better and thanks him. Stefan offers to make Wei a drink and then decides he’ll make a round for all of them. Stefan then drugs a glass.

Maggie complains about in fighting, especially when family members do it to each other which is why the Titan CEO merry go round ends here with her. Maggie asks Alex if he can deal with it. Alex assures that he can and he’s not quitting. Alex is sorry that they got off to a rocky start but says he’s proud of the work he did with Bella and developed personal relationships with employees. Maggie decides if he feels that strongly about it, maybe he should be the one to break the news to them. Alex questions her wanting him to fire the staff. Maggie says in the meantime, she wants him to bring her all the accounts he’s in charge of so she can review them. Maggie warns Alex that if he ever goes behind her back again to Victor, she will fire him and the next time, she won’t be joking.

Gwen states that Xander was brutally honest with her so now she will be brutally honest with him. Gwen admits that maybe she was an idiot to hold out hope for them. Xander disagrees and calls her beautiful, smart, and sensitive but Gwen tells him not to patronize her. Gwen declares that she doesn’t want to be Xander’s friend or business partner. Gwen doesn’t know how to come in to work every day and see his face when she just wants to claw his eyes out right now because whether he meant to or not, he led her on. Xander apologizes for handling things very poorly. Xander wants to fix it because he’s obviously hurt her very badly. Xander declares that this is her dad’s paper, so she should be the one to run it and he knows she’ll do a bang up job without him. Xander says goodbye to Gwen and then exits the office.

Xander goes to the Titan office. Maggie is surprised to see him since their follow up interview is tomorrow. Xander says he just came by to let her know that someone else might handle that interview, since he took her advice to have a candid talk with Gwen about their future. Maggie guesses it didn’t go well. Xander confirms that he doesn’t think it could’ve gone any worse.

Gwen goes to the Bistro and starts drinking. Alex arrives and asks if she had a bad day. Gwen calls it the worst. Alex tells her to join the club as he sits at her table.

Wendy asks Johnny how Stefan took the news. Johnny says he wanted to know more but he couldn’t just out his own father. Wendy wonders if Stefan will think it’s EJ anyway. Johnny notes that it wouldn’t be too much of a stretch. Johnny guesses he will have to confront EJ because you can’t do something that underhanded and expect to get away with it. Tripp then comes home and asks if Johnny means like what he just did to him.

Stefan brings drinks to Wei, Nicole, and EJ. Nicole points out that he forgot the olives. Stefan goes to check, so EJ switches he and Stefan’s drinks. Stefan sees that they must be out of olives. EJ goes over to check himself, allowing Stefan to then switch he and EJ’s drinks back behind EJ’s back. EJ finds the olives so Stefan comments that he doesn’t know how he missed them. EJ guesses he must still be feeling off but Stefan assures the nap did him just right. Stefan then proposes a toast to the future of DiMera Enterprises and they each take a drink.
