THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 Hi. Oh, hello there. Martini or Gin Atomic. Oh, after the day? I’ve had both, but not yet. Unfortunately, our workday is not finished. It’s not. Now, I think specifically you may have a problem. What happened? Well, I ran into Johnny at the park today and I overheard him talking to Wendy and I don’t know how they figured it out, but they suspect that you are the one that is trucking.

Stephan?

Yeah. Thanks for calling Dad. Yeah, it’s, uh, being back here without Kayla. It feels wrong and sad, you know? Yeah. I just really wanna do my best to live up to the Sanders that she set.

Yeah. Yeah. First day’s going. Okay. So far. Uh, I got my new ID badge and drained, uh, my first ABSs in the er. It’s like I, it’s like I never left.

Thanks. I love you too, Johnny. Hey, are you, are you okay? Oh, yeah, yeah, I’m fine. Um, actually, I was uh, here to see you.

That’s right. I wanna talk to you about Bella. Well, it’s just that Auntie Mag and I aren’t really seeing eye to eye on its future, and since Bella’s been my baby for the past six months now, I was hoping that maybe you would consider my input before making any major decisions. Do you want to talk about us?

Well, I thought that was the last thing you’d want to talk about, given the way you rushed out of it just a little while. And I was wrong, cowardly. Well, in all fairness to you, Oh, I kissed you impulsively. Um, I could see how very thrown you were and I, I honestly, I just, I got really caught up over the sales and numbers.

You don’t have to explain Glenn, and you don’t have to apologize, but I do need to explain my, my reaction at least, and apologize for it. Yes, I can. No, there isn’t. Okay. Please just let me speak. When I found out that my divorce papers had been lost, I dunno. I thought maybe that was fate telling me that there was still hope for me and Sarah.

Yes, Sarah assigned the papers and she left town, right, and I know it’s naive to keep holding out hope, but naive or not, it is what I am doing, which is why I, I can’t even consider a romantic relationship with you until I know for sure that my divorce is. And if that’s not okay with you, I do understand

like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.

What are you doing here, father? Checking up on your wayward offspring? Well, without much luck lately, but I went to the Salem in to see Lee and he told me he is living here now. He is. Ian Gabby moved in yesterday, he and Gabby. So your brother is celebrating by that ridiculous contract with a woman who doesn’t love him.

Yeah. You know, I suggest you take that up with him, but, uh, he’s not home right now. Is someone actually sleeping on a sofa? I mean, don’t you have enough bedrooms for the three of you? Uh, we do have enough rooms for me, Lee and Gabby, but, uh, there’s four of us here. Now that my friend trip has moved in,

Wendy told me you were working here again. Uh, yeah, I am. And uh, look, this is about Wendy. You’ve got nothing to worry about, man. We’re just friends and roommates. There’s nothing romantic going on between us. Oh, I. . Yeah, Wendy told me, um, and I trust her. So anyway, I’m not even here about Wendy. I’m actually here about my dad.

But I spoke to Johnny and Wendy earlier. I could have sworn they believed me. Oh, by the time I got to them, they were questioning if Stefan was using drugs. And they’ve suggested that you might be the one jacking Stephan. But how did they figure it out? Well, I, I don’t think they. I think it was just conjecture.

Ah, damn. So what did you do? Uh, how did you react? Light my ass off. Of course, I totally vouched for your innocence. I even told them that I was there when the investigator told you that S’S fingerprints were on the vial. Good. Good. Did they buy it? They seem to, I hope they. Oh, if Johnny knew the truth, then he could ruin everything.

Uh, is your father all right? Oh, yeah. Yeah. No, he’s, he’s. He’s fine. He did though, um, get some tests taken the other day for some demer business. I just wonder if I could get a copy of the results. Nah, I’m afraid I can’t help you there. Uh, HIPAA rules. I’d still need written authorization from your father,

Well, yeah, but my dad sent me here to get the results form to save him time. So now you’re telling me I gotta go all the way back home, get him to sign some paper and then come all the way back here to get ’em. Come on. Sorry Johnny. I don’t make the. And I really prefer not to break any on my first date back here.

You’re living with a boy, a man, a doctor, a friend. So he’s living here with you, but he’s not a boyfriend. No, he’s not. I’m seeing Johnny Damara, actually. Johnny Damara now. Why didn’t I know that? It’s not like I was hiding anything. Johnny and I have been friends for a while and uh, we just started casually dating.

I, I know, I know. He’s not a doctor or a lawyer. He is not Chinese. No, I don’t care anything about that. You don’t, your brother turned his whole world upside down for Gabby Hernandez. He lost his job. He gave away his shares of stock and he’s gonna lose his marriage eventually. But you, you are cementing our family’s legacy at this company by being involved with the air for the Damara enterprise.

Well, don’t you win . I’m so very proud of you. Why are Johnny and Mundi so determined to investigate any little irregularity they stumble across? I clearly spent too much time reading Hardi Boy’s Mysteries to Johnny while he was young. . Great. Well now you have to figure out a way to assure him that there’s no mystery here to think my very own son would accuse me of, of doing exactly what you’re doing.

Look, it’s, it’s cuz he loves you and he’s worried about you. That’s all he’s worried about. My brother. Hmm. Little does he know what his beloved Uncle Stephan is willing to do to me. He actually drugged my water at the office earlier. Bastard. Yes. Luckily I was able to switch the bottles. , and you did that without my help.

Good job. So how did it affect him? I’m not too sure. He skipped out of there early, just like he did yesterday to see Gabby. This is the second wasted opportunity for him to make a fool of himself at Tamir.

Ah, good Miss.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Stephan, did you get a head start on your cocktail somewhere else? No. No. I just, I got a. Hi, Kevin. Okay. Why don’t you sit down, Stephan. I’ll get you some water.

Thanks. Mm-hmm. . Wow. I don’t, I don’t know why I’m feeling so out of it. It makes sense to me. You were held hostage for days while Rove, zapped and repped your brain. No surprises here Experiencing. After the fact. Yeah, I, I’m sure that’s it. Or maybe there’s a flu going around. I’ve been feeling peaked on and off myself, but I certainly can’t attribute it to having been brainwashed.

Right. Oh, that is strange. I, Ugh. Oh man. I’m gonna go upstairs, splash some cold water on my face and lay down. Leave it up. Yes. Feel best. Yeah.

It seems the drug is having its intended effect. Maybe there’s a flu going around. What is that all about? Well, if I had to play along, obviously otherwise he might suspect, oh no, my head is spinning. How long is this gonna go on? As long as it. Well, you know, if no one at Damira sees him like this, then it’s all for nothing.

Nicole, you have just given me a Scathingly. Brilliant idea.

You’re welcome. Thank you Uncle Vic. No, you know what? I knew you would end up seeing things my way. Alright, take care.

Is it possible that I didn’t be clear that that chair is no longer your domain? Uh, sorry again, please. I went downstairs to, uh, break the news to the Bella staff, and I’m terminating the magazine. Well, I wish you had told me, but, oh, well, listen, I thought that since I was gonna lower the boom, it was my decision.

But you know what? It seems that someone has been allowing the staff to keep banker’s hours cuz they were gone. So I guess I’m just gonna have to tell ’em tomorrow. Hmm. Sounds a good plan. I’m glad you approved.

Look, Alice, I know you didn’t agree with my decision, but it was my decision, so I hope you respect that. Of course. I’m the ex c o, the only person with authority over you. Now it’s Uncle Vic

Hello. Hello, Victor. What can I do for you?

You think that there might still be a chance for us? Of course. I’m willing to.

I love you Zander. If you need to know that your, your marriage is over before you can move on.

Vir Zandy, I have acquired some very exciting news. It’s about you, me. Ooh, whatever it is. I’m sure. I don’t want it in Lady whistleblowers calling. Oh, don’t worry. Lady W can be very discreet when necessary. Right. So you suggest some news? I do indeed. I was sniffing around for dirt at the county clerk’s office and wallah, what’s this?

It’s your final divorce decree.

Wait, how did you get this in so quickly? Well, I was sweet talking Jimmy in records. Reminded him how he screwed up royally when he lost the decree the first time. Turns out he didn’t want to be in my column, so he agreed to expedite the executed paperwork from what he just gave it to you. Are you doubting my charms?

Okay, fine. He knows you’re my boss and I told him how eager you are to move on with your life. And now Sir Xander of Cook, you most certainly can.

Dunno what to say. I believe the words you’re looking for are, thank you, lady Whistleblower from the bottom of my heart. Yes, of course. Thank you. And now that you’re finally free of that Sanctimonious, judgey Mc Judson, mayor of Judge Town, we can finally celebrate.

Okay, look, I know Sarah Pacer rejected you and it still hurts, but I wanna remind you that she ended your marriage because in great that she is, she didn’t appreciate that every action you took was done so that you could support her in the manner to which she was accustomed. And how does she repay you?

By ratting you out to Bonnie and Justin and dumping your incredibly finance. Meanwhile, g Guinevere over here puts her own cute little ass on the line for you. She goes so far as to sacrifice her relationship with her father to take you aside when there was nothing in it for her. That’s how much she cares for you.

Okay? Netty, you don’t, you don’t need to. I, I, yes, I know I don’t need to sell you to him. You’ve already sold yourself. I’m not in the literal sense of. What I meant to say, Mr. Sandman, who rhymes with Sandman, but you do not put anyone to sleep. In fact, you are a stimulating and fascinating person in my book, but there is nobody in your life who ever has been or ever will be so loyal and so dedicated to you as Madam Mazzeo Guinevere of Riz Check.

And not that it’s any of my business, but if it were, I would already have a ring on this fine woman’s finger.

Yes, Victor. Thank you for calling and I, I really appreciate your input on this. Yeah, you too.

Um, he wanted to talk to me about Bella really. What’d he say

That he fully supports my decision to shut up the magazine? Does he? You know, I was so curious as to one, how he knew about my decision since I just made it today, and you are the only one I discussed it with.

So what you, you think I said something to him? I know you did. Because Victor told me. So

tell your dad if he wants the results of his test, he’s gonna have to come and get them himself. I hope you understand. Yeah, right. Um, of course. Yeah. Uh, and I actually need to go. I’m don’t wanna leave you around. See it though. Yeah, sure. Thanks. Thanks for nothing. Damnit. How am I gonna figure out if my dad’s lying?

I don’t think I heard him. Right. Did you just say you approve of something I’m doing? Oh, very much so. Okay. What if I told you that I don’t? Johnny’s the Dera. He, you don’t have to care. I do. Tony doesn’t even want to follow in his father’s footsteps. He wants to make movies and he’s good at it. Well, he can pick daisies for all I care.

He is still a dememer and will still be the heir apparent. And the more time you spend with the Demaris, the stronger our position will be. And Jess, when. Scathingly. Brilliant idea. Away. Shin is in town for a meeting. No shin. Mm-hmm. . I think I see where you’re going with this because you are as brilliant as you are.

Give him a call.

Hello, Mr. Shin, AJ Dira, how are you going? I’m fine. What can I do for you? I was just thinking it’s been a long time since we’ve broken bread. How would you like to stop by the mansion and dine with your co CEOs? Well, that sounds lovely. When do you have in mind? Well, if you don’t have any plans tonight, whenever you can get here.

Well, I’m vanished. Didn’t, uh, well my daughter’s out that much of a cook,

I’ll be there immediately. Excellent

way. Shin is on his way. And now all we have to do is wait for the.

Oh, uh, Mr. Shin. Hey. Hello. Hello, Johnny. Good to see you. Jim Wynn has been saying some very nice things about. . Really? Mm-hmm. . Oh, that’s, uh, that’s good to hear. What? I’m going to give you two some privacy, so have a good night. Hey, I hope I didn’t chase him off. Believe me. You didn’t. What’s up? I was wondering if, if you had a minute to take a look at something.

Yes, sure. I, uh, I was able to get into the lab and I got a copy of those test results my dad had ordered on that drug that I found, and I. Have no idea what I’m looking for. How did you get this? I have my ways. Okay. Well, I am an expert in cyber, not Ken. Mm-hmm. . Let’s cross source this puppy. Oh, well I already did a web search, so did you try the dark web?

No, no. I, I guess I should have.

Okay. I got a hit. Oh, what? Uh, your dad said this was some kind of recreational street drug. Yeah, well, I think if your Uncle Stephan wanted to get high, he probably wouldn’t use a rare medical grade tr that not only induces euphoria, but also has a host of nasty side effects. So what you’re saying, my dad lied to me.

I’m sorry. I think so.

This is perfect. And when Stephan tries to drug me at dinner, you will turn the tables on him. Right. And he will make a fool of himself in front of none other then way shin. Mm-hmm. the best person to witness his foolishness. Exactly. And given Mr. Shin’s notoriously thin patience, my brother could be on the unemployment line by tomorrow.

Yeah, I hope so. But ooh, do you really wanna do this under shin’s nose? I mean, there’s more people to, to witness you switching the drinks, and it’s a risk unwilling to take besides if the truth ever does come out. I haven’t drugged anyone. It’s all on Steph and my, my hands are clean.

Auntie Maggie, don’t you, aunt Maggie? Me, according to Victor, you told him I didn’t have enough experience to make an informed decision. Whoa. I I, I didn’t say that. Not in so many words. Well, then what did you mean by calling him and giving him a heads up that your incompetent wife was about to make a big mistake?

Oh, I definitely didn’t say that. No, but you went on and on to him about how I was cav literally shutting down this magazine. That he named after his beloved daughter. Nice use of pathos. I’ll give you that. Did you seriously think that DIB would overrule me? That he would side with you over his own life?

That he wouldn’t tell me that you went behind my back, auntie. I’m sorry. And believe me, I know my place around here. It’s just that I passionately believe in the magazine. I felt like it was worth fighting for. It’s nothing personal. Nothing personal. I have, I have reminded you twice today that that chair no longer belongs to you.

I am your boss, Alex. I am the C of this company. I know, and I respect that. Do you, because your behavior says otherwise. Now if you can’t accept the fact that I now have the job that you think you’re entitled to, well then you know you are free to resign. Now

let me fix my work here is done. I will leave you two love birds alone. Go bend Jimmy’s ear some more. Maybe a few other choice Body parts Chowk.

Um, I’m sorry he put you on the spot like that. Please know that I, I did not put him up to my, I I know you, I know you didn’t. Grandma we’ll say he did have a few valid points though. I agree. And you did for everything on the line for me. You sacrificed your own happiness to try to make things work for Sarah and me, and you’re so very grateful for that g.

I can never thank you enough, but, um, I thought with time maybe things would become clearer and I know I promised you a decision when my divorce came through, and

the truth is

I still love Sarah. I dunno if I’m ever gonna get over her. And you deserve someone who’s gonna love you with their whole heart.

I’m sorry, I just, I think the of us can be

not right.

Damn it. And I, I was worried enough when I thought my dad or my uncle might have a drug problem. But if my dad is the one giving the drugs to my uncle just to get ahead in business, I mean, I know, I know they don’t have the best relationship and back stabbing is kind of the dememer way. But after everything Stefan’s been through, who knows what that could do to him.

And if my dad were to get caught, I mean, okay, take a deep breath, Johnny. We still don’t know what’s really going on here. Nicole said that the investigator found Stephan’s fingerprints on that file. Yeah, we don’t know that for sure. Now. I mean, she’s, she’s sleeping with my dad. She’d lie for him in a heartbeat.

Oh my God. What? Your dad called my dad and invited him over to dinner. Okay. Let’s say all of this is true. Could he be planning to drug Stephan and then get him to make a total fool of himself in front of my.

Yeah, I bet that’s exactly the plan. Look, I, I, I’m not just gonna sit here and do nothing about it. Okay.

Johnny, my man. Okay. Paa Uncle Stephan. Uh, I, uh, I really hate to tell you this, but I think somebody might be drugging you,

Mr. Shannon. Of course. You know the lovely Nicole Walker, how you do Indeed. She is doing a super job at Basic Black. Thank you so much. But I understand that your co c e o was arrested for kid. Yes, but we expect all the charges against Brady to be dropped. But in the meantime, we’re fully cooperating with police.

We don’t want to have any scandals on our watch

on that subject. I, I have to confide. I’m rather worried about my brother. I’m not sure what Dr. Wolf put him through, but I’m afraid it may have taken its toll on his physical and mental health. He doesn’t seem to be himself lately Really. I haven’t heard any word about Stephan’s behavior at work, but I’ve heard plenty about yours.

I’m sorry. I how you understand.

You know what, and uh, I don’t.

I mean, sure when there’s blackmail to be done or your dead body to hide or claps are closing in, you have no problem calling on good old friend Gwen.

Have a romp around in the hay to thank me,

but I am never the person you would take home to meet your mother. Am I my mother’s dad? To me she is. The point is you see me as some sort of a fearless bad girl. Don’t you have a couple of laughs with, and I help you out with your schemes, but you will never actually commit to me. I was gonna marry you until you drugged Sarah.

You killed Susan Banks. You killed Laura Horter. That was an accident. Was it? The point is, is that you are no better than me, Zander, and you never will be. And you put Sarah up on this pedestal because you think I will never measure up. Isn’t that right?

Listen, then what you think?

Maybe like, that’s my thing. Good God.

Johnny, who do you think is drugging me and why? Look, I, I can’t get into all the details right now. Okay. All I can tell you is just be careful what you eat and drink. All right. Especially tonight. Okay. I need more information. That’s all I got for you right now. Just, just, uh, please take care. Okay?

I hope I did the right thing.

It seems to me that you’re more of a danger to the company after that debacle of the press conference. My portfolio is still recovering. My sincere apologies, Mr. Shin. Look, I’m not one to make excuses, but I had a terrible flu then, but I’m fine now. My brother, however, I’m afraid he may have permanent brain damage as a result of what he’s been put through.

Oh, and you invited me over so I could see for myself. I invited you here as our guest. , but I do think you’ll be concerned about what you witnessed.

I am here today with em Winter Mike Manning, who plays Caleb on the Bay. Part of the season is set in Puerto Rico. Did you have fun filming in Port Rico? Well, I knew he was town love filming in Puerto Rico. Hi, how are you feeling, Stephen? Much better. Thank you. Mr. Shin, has anybody offered to make you drink?

No, not yet. I’ll make a round for all of us. Mm-hmm. . Oh, Mr. Schmit is so great that you came over for dinner.

I know the business world is full of back biting and in fighting, and it’s especially distressing when family members do it to each other, which is why the Titan c e o, Merry-go-round ends. With me, so if you can’t deal with it, I can deal with it Auntie, believe me. If I’m not quitting, I’m sorry that we got off to this rocky start.

Truly, that’s just that I am proud of the work that we did at Bella, and now I have developed these personal connections with a lot of the employees and, okay, well if you feel that strongly about it,

well then baby, you should be the one to go and break the news to them. But you want me to fire the staff, but in the meantime, I want you to bring me all the accounts that you are in charge of. I’d like to review them for all of them, every single one. And Alex, if you ever go behind my back again to Victor, I will fire you.

And the next time I won’t be joking.

You’re brutally honest with me. Now, I’m gonna be brutally honest with you.

Have you an idiot? Told out hope for us. You’re an idiot, Quinn. You’re wickedly smart and so beautiful and sensitive enough. Do not patronize. Please.

I don’t wanna be your friend.

I don’t wanna be your business partner. In fact, I don’t even know how I’m gonna bloody come into work every day and have to look at your face when all I want, all I want, Sandra, is just to claw your bloody eyes out right now.

Because where are you meant to leave me on or not? That is, that is what you did. I’m sorry. Handle things very poorly. I know that and I know I have to fix it. I have to make things easier for you because I’ve obviously hurt you very badly. I

look, this is, uh, This is your dad’s paper. You should be the one to run it. Yes, I know. You’ll do a bang up job without me, so, um,

goodbye. Bye.

I thought that follow up interview was tomorrow. Yeah, I, uh, I just came by to let you know that somebody else might be handling it. Oh, why is that? Well, I took your advice about having a candid conversation with Gwen about our future from the expression on your face. Take it. It didn’t go well. No, it did not.

In fact, don’t think it could have gone any worse.

Hi, can I get a refill please with the bloody alcohol at this time? Would you bad day washed? Join a club.

How did your uncle take the news? Uh, well, I mean, he wanted to know more obviously, but I couldn’t just out my own father. I wonder if he’s gonna think it’s your father anyway. Yeah, I don’t know. I mean, it wouldn’t be too much of a stretch, I guess it’s inevitable now I’m gonna have to confront my father.

I mean, you can’t just do something that underhanded and expect to get.

You know, like what you just did to me.

Here’s. Mr. Shin. Careful Mr. Shin. My brother has a very heavy hand with the V. Well, I have a strong hair. No worries. Oh, step in. You forgot the olives, so I did.

Well, we must be fresh out. Really. I know. I saw them earlier. Yeah. 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 it’s to your liking. Oh, sounds wonderful. Yeah. Ah, hit it down, huh? Ah, don’t know how I missed him. Ah, that’s all I, I’m sure he was just feeling a little bit off still.

Oh no. That nap did me just right. I’d like to propose a toast to the future of DiMera Enterprises. Here. Here, you’re here.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

You don’t move from this five hours, please tell me at least got lunch. Not yet. I need this report to be flawless. Stefan DiMera isn’t happy. Mm-hmm. Trask has made it very clear that she wants Eric Andre to go. And I don’t want her rightness harder than she already has. So I am crossing my T’s and dotting my eyes.

All right. Well, I appreciate your dedication, detective Hunter, but you need to eat Well. I didn’t see you duck out for lunch either. You wanna come with, yeah, I don’t think that’s such a good idea.

So how is this for a hot scoop? Roman Brady has been talking to his dead wife’s urn and he claims that it talks back to him. I mean, , obviously, poor chaps going mental, right? Yeah. Obviously.

What’s the matter with you? Why are you so Moy?

It’s about Sarah, isn’t it?

You don’t have to worry Ms. Price. We’re all over it. Now. I, I understand that Sloan Peterson had your assets frozen, but we’re gonna be able to spin that to your advantage. We’re gonna push the narrative that, um, that you know, she’s angry and desperate and persecuting you because of some twisted desire for.

Of course. Yeah, we’ll notify you as as soon as the press press done.

Chadwick just the person I wanted to see. I’m working Leo, so am I. What for the garbage column that you write. It’s not garbage. It’s gossip. As you well know, the spectator has very high journalistic standards, so every word I write must be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. So help me, Chris Hemsworth.

So does SJ p r have a.

About what Sloan Peterson situation. No, the Alex Keka situation.

Press release is ready for your approval Mr. Jaki. Oh, well thank you. But Mr. Kikis is my dad. I thought it’d be best to keep things professional at the office.

Well, I’ll let you in on a little secret now that I’m c e o. We don’t have to keep it professional. In fact, we could have sex on my desk, right? Seriously,

say something dirty to me.

What are you doing in my chair? What?

I said, what are you doing in my chair?

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

Thank you for waiting. Yeah, no problem. All right. Here is the job application. Just, uh, fill it out and I’ll take it from there. Cool. So has anyone else applied or you’re actually the first and I am so glad that you showed up when you did because we are desperate for another set of hands. Wow. Sweet. This must be doing really well then.

It is. And. Uh, my most valuable employee just left me in the lurch. What happened? Well, she wasn’t just my employee, she was also my girlfriend and, uh, we broke up. Sorry to hear that. I’ve been there and it sucks. So on top of dealing with a heartbreak, I am also getting slammed out Burke. And that’s exactly why my mama used to say, don’t get your honey where you get your money.

Your mom’s right. . Yeah. I’m mixing business. And pleasure is always a risk day about your one true love. Were you,

are you thinking about Sarah? No, no. I was, um, I was thinking about her mother actually. Maggie, why? Oh, Michael Uncle just made her the new CEO of Titan Industries yesterday, and by the time the word got out, we’d already put the paper to bed. Oh well, Oh well come on. When This’s big news should have been on the front page.

Yeah, the business section. Perhaps with the arrest of Brady and Eric for kidnapping the COCE O of Damara Enterprises. Well, clearly that is the winner here and the Brothers Grim was an inspired headline. If I do say so myself, that’s pretty clever. Yeah. Under Sure. Fire Away to Sell more papers. Have we sold more paper?

Dunno yet. But um, I’m sure it’s gonna be an improvement. Still wish we had the Tyson story, and I wish you’d start focusing on what’s in front of you instead of the one who got away.

Sorry, it’s a force of habit. Here you are. Have a habit of sitting in the CEO’s chair. Well, Sonny, never minded sharing his desk. Well, I. Okay. Got it. Alex, are you gonna have a problem reporting to me? No. No, auntie Not at all. This is what Uncle Vic wants, so I will do my best for Titan in a supporting role.

Well, I know that you were very disappointed that he didn’t give you the. No, really auntie. It’s cool. Lately I’ve had to get used to a lot of things. I don’t really like

what Alex Curios situation. I don’t know what you’re talking about. Oh, come on now. Chadwick, don’t play dumb with me. Alex works for Titan. You work for Titan’s PR company. What’s the skinny behind the musical chair situation? In the executive suite, there are no musical. Victor Carus found the ideal CEO O candidate, Maggie Carus, and the board is convinced that should be the perfect fit.

I’m not interested in lines from the press release. I wanna know what happened behind the scenes, the backstabbing, the double crossing, the betrayal. Sorry to disappoint your vast readership, but there was none of that. Oh, really? I heard Alex was a shoeing for the job, and then Victor did a 180 at the last minute and chose Maggie instead.

Something must have prompt.

Okay. You want the real skinny? Yeah, I want the real skinny. It was you. What? Yep. You reached out to Vic for comment about Alex’s extracurricular activities with Alex Chanel. So we reconsider, are you saying Victor passed over Alex because he’s a man whore? I didn’t use that term, but Sure. Ah, what’s, uh, what’s going.

Wanna answer me?

Okay. Looks pretty straightforward. Do you want any references? Yes, please. There is a space for that. Right on the bottom, you put their phone numbers and then you can circle one of the two hour timeframes in which you want me to call them. It eliminates phone tag. Ooh, that’s smart. . Oh, believe me, I haven’t always been this organized, but time management is crucial to run a successful bakery.

Mm-hmm. , uh, especially when you have to get up at the Graco Dawn every day. See you mean, and tell me you’re not pulling all items at the club. That will be a no. . . But anyway, I really do need to hire someone. So if you could just fill that out and then get it back to me as soon as possible. Yeah, will do. Oh, and by the way, I am.

Talia. Um, I’ll be back soon.

I don’t get it. Why wouldn’t it be a good idea for us to grab lunch? Didn’t you read Abe’s email? His office sent out a new policy on inter-office relationships, and we’re not supposed to be fraternizing. , but how’s that Fraternizing partners have lunch together in the job all the time. Yeah. Well, that’s the thing.

I’m not, I’m not, we’re not partners. I’m your boss. So come on, Ray. I mean, we had burgers at the Brady Pub on Valentine’s Day. You didn’t seem to have a problem with it. I mean, it’s, it’s not like it was a date.

Wait, did you think it was

anyone going to answer me? Well, I was just asking Chad for a comment on the shake up at Titan, but since you are the brains at SJ p r, perhaps you’d like to do the honors. Certainly, after an exhaustive search, Victor Kakkis has found the ideal c e o candidate in Maggie Kakkis. The board is every confidence she’ll be the perfect fit, not you too.

Excuse me. Chad already gave me the party line. I want your comment on the real story. That’s what I just did. Exhaustive. I don’t think so. Victor was going to choose Alex and then changed his mind at the last minute. According to Chad, it’s at least partly because he was a, uh, whatever Mr. Damer told you was strictly off the record.

Why is there more to the story? You were dating Alex Kiki exclusively, and then your relationship suddenly fell apart. Is that part of the reason why Victor chose not to name him c e o? We’re done. Was Alex having threesomes behind your back? Did he cheat on you with the bisexual baker? Honey, did he dump you because you couldn’t satisfy him in certain aspects of sleep enough?

It has nothing to do with her. They broke up cuz Alex shut off her phone. What? They were on a date. Alex didn’t want to be interrupted, so he shut off her phone. She didn’t get the sick. Goodbye to her dying mom there.

All these emails. Well, we’ve been in meetings all day. Right, right. Uh, just getting to know the different departments on Maggie, do you need a little help with the lay of the land? Um, oh, I got it. Thanks. Okay. It’s just that last night called me a right hand man. You said that you’d be counting on me to help bring you up to speed on some things.

Well, the meeting and the meetings, they, they took care. . Okay. Okay. Okay. So what are you tackling first? Um hmm. Well, I’d like to find ways to make Titan run more efficiently. Decide where we, the wisest for us to vest moving forward. Huh? There was one area that stood out to me in particular publishing. Oh, well, as soon as Sonny put me in charge of that department, my first order of business was to make Bella Magazine the flag.

The potential is huge. So we’ve been increasing the profile for the business, strengthening the brand. In fact, I just turned in the latest advertising budget for approval. Yes, I saw that. But you won’t be needing my approval. I’m shutting down the magazine,

but this publication has a very bright future and I just. Wish that you’d stopped second guessing. And of course, you, you’re, you’re absolutely right. I’m sorry. I mean, we couldn’t have wished for a better lead story on day one than Brady and Eric’s arrest. It’s just after everything we did to get this paper, I just really wanted to be a success.

Well, I can’t fault you for that. Can I partner? Oh. That’s Skylar with the numbers. Sky. Talk to me. Really? You course. Want a damn press release. Thanks. So our numbers are up 20% since last week. And not just new sales stands, I mean online traffic as well. Our subscriptions are through the room and we’ve even outsold the intruder.

Oh my God, that’s incredible.

That is not what I was expecting to hear. Tell me more, please. How did you feel when you realized you’d never get to speak to your mother again? Leo, don’t do that. Can you explain what was going through your mind when you walked into her hospital room and realized? The wft of life. Okay. If you don’t get out of here right now, I’m gonna take this phone and shove it so far, okay?

Okay. But I feel like I was asking very tactfully, just go, I’m going and I am very sorry about your mother. Get out.

What the hell is wrong with you?

Wait, did you just say you were shutting down Bella? Well, actually I’m surprised it didn’t happen sooner. The magazine has been struggling for some time. Yeah, I’ve been working to get it back on track. Alex, I’m sorry, but the numbers are The numbers by shuttering Bella Titan can take a ride off . I got it.

Auntie, can you please just gimme a little bit more time to show you what I can do? I’m afraid the decision’s been made. What about the staff? What are you, are you just gonna let ’em all go without any warning? We’ll offer a generous severance package. A severance package. And what about Uncle Vic? Bella was named after his daughter.

Do you really think he’s gonna sign off on this? He doesn’t have to. Fitzer isn’t the c e o of this company. I am

sorry. Sorry. I just, um, I got really excited about the numbers as well.

Skyler has told me we are up 20% from last week. Isn’t that amazing? So between lady whistleblowers, skating wit, you are awe inspiring work ethic. We give the British tabs a run for their money, right? Governor? Oh, I’ll be back. Where are you going? Don’t you wanna break out the SHS and celebrate? I can’t just sit around here congratulating each other.

If we’re gonna keep these numbers up, it’s gonna require work and stories that actually matter. I’m gonna see if Maggie will talk to me about. Take you over at tire.

What’s her problem?

Hi mama. I hope you didn’t come by for a bear claw because we are all out. Oh, no. No, honey. I didn’t come by for that. Actually. I came to talk to you. Okay. What’s. I just had a meeting with Bell Brady from here on out, she is going to be our attorney, our only attorney. I fired the rest of my team. Why? What happened?

Because they got their behinds handed to them by Sloane Peterson. What happened? Oh honey, on nothing good. You see, all of my assets have been frozen and so have yours.

I didn’t think it was a date, our dinner on Valentine’s Day. No, not at all. No, I just, um, I’m not at the time anyway. What do you mean? Not at the time. All right. You know what, Jada, as much as I, I enjoyed our evening, I just, I think it’s best that we don’t do it again and. I hope you’re not offended by that.

Offended. No. If that’s what you want. Yeah, that’s what I think it’s, yes. I think that that’s best to not socialize outside of work. Yeah, yeah. Right. I just, um, I don’t want there to be any confusion, infusion confusion, so that I don’t think. Hmm. That you’re interested in me in a way that you’re not. Yeah.

Right. I’m, yeah. Even though that’s, uh, not exactly the case. Ray, are you seeing it? Are you interested in me?

I am sorry, what was the question? Well, you said you didn’t want any confusion. No. You didn’t want me to get the wrong idea. Didn’t want you thinking that you were interested in me. Huh? But then you said that wasn’t the case. No. Right. Did say that. Didn’t I? Brief? Listen, aside from being my boss, you’re my friend.

I’m a good friend, so you can tell me honestly. Do you wanna be in one friends?

There she is. Talia. Oh my God. Oh my God. Honey, it’s so good to see you. I know you too. Okay. I’m guessing you two know each other very well. Brave. I’d like you to meet my sister, Talia Hunter. Wow. Are you saying I can’t access any of my money? You can access some of your money. Just not much. This is insane.

How am I supposed to run a business? Well, it’s only temporary. Baby bail is going to file a motion and get it undone. Okay. When? Well, hopefully soon. Hopefully. Hopefully. Okay. What am I supposed to do in the meantime? Well, we’ll just have to tighten our purse strings. The courts are going to be watching us very closely, looking out for any unnecessary expenditures.

Like what? Well, for starters, You can take down that sign.

It’s all about the bottom line. I get it. I didn’t mean to sound cavalier. I mean of, of course Victor wants to honor his daughter’s memory, but he also wants Titan to thrive for generations to come. Amber, Bella. That was my baby. What am I supposed to do now? Oh, don’t worry, you know? Ah, I’ll find a place for you where I hear congratulations are in order.

Oh my goodness, . Well, thank you. I can’t think of a more perfect choice for the new ceo. Don’t you agree? Go get a coffee.

What’s her problem? Oh, sorry. I’ve been hanging around too much with, uh, Leo Stark. I, me to rephrase. Is Alex upset that Victor passed him over for the job? Oh, I think it’s fair to say that he’s upset. God knows I’ve been there. Yeah. Speaking of jobs, I understand. Congratulations are in order for you as well.

Although, I have to admit, I was a bit surprised that Jack and Jennifer. Uh, hand it over the spectator to you and Gwen. Oh, clearly they thought we had potential and they were right. Our first issue was a huge success. Hmm. Good for you. I was just telling Gwen actually that, uh, if you wanna keep this momentum going, we need to keep delivering big for our readers.

And I can’t think of anything bigger than an exclusive interview with Titan Industry’s brand new ceo.

So that’s why you’re here. It’s . So come on Maggie. When you grant me the interview, are you gonna write me off the way your daughter did?

So you just planted one on the guy? Gosh, it was Unpremeditated, I swear. I just. I sort of just attacked him like I was a dog in heat. Oh, I would’ve loved to have seen that. It’s not funny. Mattie. Relax. Sugar Plum. You and Zandy hit a homer a few weeks ago, so you got to first base just now, what’s the big deal?

Q and all those bloody baseball metaphors for God’s sake. And actually it wasn’t a big deal to him, which is why it’s such a big deal to. English, please. Look, when I walked in here before the kiss, he was sitting over there looking so utterly miserable. Did he say why? Well, he says it’s because we lost the Titan story, but it’s obvious that it’s because he was pining over Sarah,

why the hell would you do that, Chad? Why would you tell Leo anything about my mom? I’m, I’m, I’m sorry. All right. He just, he was coming after you with all the stuff about the breakup with Alex and I just, uh, I thought, thought what? You could save me. I’m sorry. It was an accident. I just, it was a, a, a blurt, uh, a blurted.

Was it also a blurt when you confirmed that Alex is a man whore. Okay. Last night you said that you were pissed off about that too. Yeah, I did, but I didn’t share that opinion with the media. You do realize that we work for Titan, that it’s our job to protect them. Yeah, but I, but then why would you shoot your mouth off to a freaking gossip columnist?

Because I’m an idiot.

I’m sorry. I, I, I, I shouldn’t have said anything. You mentioned Alex, and I just, I reacted emotionally. You can’t do that with a reporter. Ever. I know. I’m sorry. It was a mistake. It was a, it was a huge mistake. I don’t like Alex. You know that. I think he’s a douchebag, but it doesn’t, it doesn’t gimme the right to be a jerk.

So I’m, I’m sorry, but honestly, I’m glad he didn’t get the c e o gave. Is that what this is about? You don’t want me working with Alex? What? No. Okay. So you’re not trying to sabotage my firm’s relationship with our biggest client because you don’t think I can keep things professional with my ex. I didn’t say that.

What it sounds like that’s what you meant, but if you didn’t, you should figure out how to communicate more clearly. Might come in handy since you work in pr.

Oh, sorry, I, I wasn’t paying attention. Me neither. It’s all good. My mind’s been someplace else mostly on the fact that I, uh, didn’t get the c e o job. I’m sure you’ve heard I did. I also feel pretty stupid about bragging the way I did. You must be relieved. You don’t have to worry about reporting to me anymore.

Oh, as I told you, I didn’t foresee any problem with this working together. Yeah, and for what it’s worth, I’m sorry that you didn’t get the job. I know how much you wanted it. Thanks.

Hey, it’s not like Titan doesn’t need you anymore. I mean, with your experience and expertise, I’m sure that Maggie is psyched to have you to rely on. Well, unfortunately you’re wrong. Maggie couldn’t care less about what I think.

It’s no secret that I was not happy the way you treated Sarah, but I do know how much you love. And because I believe in giving people second chances, I’m sorry she didn’t give you one really, really . And now that you’re in a legitimate line of work, I very much wanna see you succeed. So yes, I will give you an interview.

Oh, come on, Zandy can’t still be pining over Sarah. Oh no, why not? He’s still madly in love with her. That is just your paranoia talking, and even if he is still enamored of Miss Snooty pants, honey, it won’t last long. Oh no. What did your crystal balls tell you? That I don’t need my crystal balls to tell me that when a person is out of sight, they are much more quickly out of mind.

Well, I don’t see it that way because although Sarah might be out of Salem, she’s still, she’s still very much in his heart. God, you should have seen his face. When I kissed him. He looked absolutely horrified. Oh, I’m such an idiot. Fear not . Before you know it, the man of your dreams is going to forget about the woman who got away and focus on the beautiful woman in front of him.

Okay?

Why do I have to take down the sign? Isn’t her? To hire help will cost you money you don’t have right now. Okay, but without Ali Mama, I’m drowning. I’m sorry, baby. You’re just gonna have to bite the bullet. Un until Bell falls us out. Then you can bring on whoever you want. Except I wanted to bring someone on right now because it may be too late by then.

She’s really great and she’ll probably find another job if I don’t bring her on immediately. What? What? What are you talking about? You have somebody in mind. Yeah, I do. And she’s the perfect candidate. Talia, I like you to meet my boss. Commissioner Hernandez. No, no. Please call me Rafe. Wow. I’ve heard a lot about you.

So what are you doing now? What brings you to town? Well, I miss my big sis. You know, it’s been forever, since we had our kickboxing brunch. kickboxing brunch. Yeah. First we box, and then we brunch. Ah. Mm-hmm. . Hey, listen. I wish you would’ve called and let me know you were coming. I mean, I would’ve booked as a class, made some restaurant reservations.

Well, I wanted to surprise you, and I can’t think of a better surprise than a visit from my little sister. Yeah, actually it’s more than a visit. I’m moving to Salem.

Excuse me ladies. So you’re moving here. I thought you were living with someone in New York. Yeah. Um, We broke up. Oh, I’m so sorry. I cried my eyes out for a couple days and then, you know, I decided enough. No more wallowing, you know, time for a fresh start here in Salem. Just like that. You don’t seem too happy about it.

No, no, no. Talia, I, I am, I am. It’s just that this is, this is a big change. I mean, have you, have you really thought this through? I mean, what’s it to think about? I want to get out of New York and be near you. I know, I know. But you need to earn a living. Find a place to live. I figured I’d crash with you. My place is pretty small and I’m sure we’ll figure it out.

What about a drop already on it?

Oh my Lord. , these are delicious. Told you Talia is the perfect candidate for Sweet Pits. Mm mm Well, I can see. Taste. Why you want to snap her up right now? Mm-hmm. like, well, just tell us. You’ll have to be patient, mama. Wow. You look, you run the most successful bakery in town now, and if she wants a job mm-hmm.

I’m sure she’ll understand.

I don’t, I don’t understand. Why would Maggie shut down? For a tax write off. You’re kidding. No, I’m not kidding. And I had big plans for that magazine. Well then don’t give up. Try to change her mind, Steph. I did. Well, not hard enough. Obviously, I didn’t say it would be easy, but it is possible. How do what we do in pr spin a negative into a.

Right now, Maggie sees Bella as a liability. Make her see it as an opportunity. A very lucrative one. Yeah, but like I said, Maggie doesn’t care about my opinion. , she doesn’t care about my goals. She’s the c e o Now she’s got her own goals. So that’s it. Everything you’ve worked so hard for, just goes.

It’s not what I want, Seth, but I, but nothing if you really care that much about Bella, fight for it.

That was terrific. Maggie, thank you so much. Um, I’m sorry but, um, I really don’t have time to give you more, but, uh, please, uh, talk to my assistant and, uh, she will schedule a longer interview. Will do. In the meantime, I’ll type this up and get it over to g. How, um, you know, what are, how are things going with you two?

Are you a couple again? No, I’m, no, I, well, you know, after Sarah and I split up, we did spend some quality time together, very delicately put, look, I’ve been very clear with Quinn that I’m not over Sarah, and I dunno if I ever will be. Maybe now that Sarah’s left hand, that’ll. I just dunno. And in the meantime it’s not fair to Lee G went on, is it?

Mm. No. Get me started. Okay. What she did to my daughter. I have very little sympathy for her, but you know, I do agree. You shouldn’t start a relationship when you still have feelings for someone else. Well, I should get going. Okay. Congrats again. Well, thank you. Of all the people, Victor’s putting that chair over the years.

You are the best choice here. Thanks.

I told Zander the same thing. He should just focus on the present. Well, trust me. As soon as he has that divorce decree in hand, he will have no choice but to accept that his marriage is over, assuming that the papers go through, considering the office twit lost the originals. Right. Did that seem a little suspicious to you?

Suspicious how maybe someone down there is a Zara Fan Z. Did you just give them a couple’s name then? Pretty soon it’s gonna be all about Guder. Gwenda. Oh my God. That’s dreadful. No Gwenda, no. Not good either. Sounds like something you used to mix me. A froze. Why don’t we just keep it at Gwen and Zander soon to be my favorite couple of all time madly in love making beautiful babies together.

You know, maybe it’s time for lady whistleblower to Sasha away down to the clerk’s office and sniff around. See if anybody’s poking their grubby little paw where they don’t belong. Yeah.

Madly in love making gorgeous babies together

shared your optimism.

Did TA leave? Uh, yeah, she went to follow up on a job opportunity. Oh, wow. Impressive. Well, that’s a pretty great surprise though, huh? Finding out your sister’s moving to town. That’s her specialty. Spontaneous decision making, huh? Well, sounds like you have some arrangements to make, so, uh, I’ll let you get to it.

Wait, we didn’t finish our conversation conversation. You and me. Uh, you know what? On on second thought I put you on the spot. That was way too pushy with me. Um, nevermind. Oh, and that’s same. So, uh, I gotta take it. So you need to grab some lunch.

Alright. All righty. All done. References and everything. Uh, Talia, there’s a. There’s something I have to tell you about the job, what

you’re hired. Yes. Yes.

Just sent you the press release for pulling a. Thanks. I’ll take a look.

I’m sorry. No, I’m sorry. I love my, my personal feelings get in the way of me doing my job. My promise you, I won’t, I won’t make that mistake again. I care about this company. I care about you. We have a good thing going, a great thing I think. I don’t wanna screw that up. Me neither.

So did you, um, speak to Maggie? We set up a proper interview for the Weekend magazine. She gave me some quotes we can use in the meantime. Wonderful. So, um, should we, uh, talk about tomorrow’s paper then? I was thinking you could talk about us.

I’m.

Hey, Uncle Vick, it’s me. I was wondering if we could have a little chat about Bella.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 The profit margin. Oh, Chan now baby, you’re making your mama so proud of you starting a business with nothing but some recipes and a cookie sheep. Now just look at what you’ve accomplished. Oh, oh. Why in the hell did the rest of her life have to blow up in the poor girl’s face?

Hey, Abe , I hate yourself. Hey, you know I, I stopped by the bakery earlier. You did. I, I didn’t see you. I couldn’t get in. The line was too, Now that’s what I would call a morning rush. You’re the morning rush. That turns into the lunch rush. That turns into the afternoon rush. Well, business is booming. Yeah, it is.

I usually don’t close until I run outta stuff to sell. Actually, today was a record. Well, guess I’m too late for my bearclaw. Yeah, you are too late for a bearclaw . But how do you feel about chocolate chip cookies? I thought you said you were clothes. Well, I always save a little something sweet for my special customers.

It’s like you

I feel like I’ve stumbled into a clan dust time meeting of co-conspirators. Uh, two Johnny. Okay. All right. No paranoid much. I just came to ask Wendy if she wanted to go to lunch with me. Oh, really? Where were you thinking of going? We hadn’t gotten that far yet because I didn’t hear you talking about the pub versus buddies burgers.

I heard you talking about my brother Stephan, and drugs and me.

I’m convinced that I love you. And I love you too. God, I have missed you and I, you. I’m sorry for all the ways I mistreated you. Oh, don’t apologize. It’s not your fault. Look, what matters is that we’re together now. Finally, finally,

what the hell’s going on?

Again, what the hell do you think you’re doing, Lee? What I am doing is I am kissing the woman I love. May I remind you that that woman is my wife? No, you really don’t need to do that because in no uncertain terms, Gabby just told me the same thing.

Sloan, is your attorney Sloan Peterson know of any other Sloan? Well, you told me too. Broke up and she was furious with you. She was. Then why did she take the case? We sort of. Sort of what is that supposed to mean? Exactly what it sounds like? Why would I give up the best sex of my life and why would he?

Isn’t that right, baby? Ah, Eric, I, I think your lawyer is a bit taken with you. I mean, she can’t seem to resist kissing you in a public place in front of your ex-wife. Wait, what? You don’t think it’s because I’m here? Do you? You don’t think she’s marking her territory? Do you sprain her scent like a feral cat?

A young feral cat. Hey, do you have an appointment? That’s right, Eric. I do my place tonight. Let yourself in. I might already be infant tramp. So am I gonna read about tonight’s mom in tomorrow’s spectator? I know she likes to make your sex life a matter of public record. I mean, Eric. Mm. It is so big of you to not feel, oh gosh, what’s the words I’m looking for?

Used or demeaned? I mean, it’s quite surpris. Actually, cuz Dignity used to be important to you. But she did run it by you, didn’t she? I mean, she didn’t just go to that little weasel, Leo Stark and Bray about the intimate details of your life without talking to you first. Did she? I mean, she didn’t act like a high school quarterback, regaling in locker room with stories of doing the dumb cheerleader bitch.

Oh, ooh, ooh. Careful counselor. I invented that move

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

You invented that when? When the earth was cooling. Oh. Oh dear. I’m sorry. Was that an insult? Like you drew blood by pointing out the fact that I’m older than you. Ooh, what a witty thing to say, Eric. Really? You couldn’t do better than this. Eric here. You’re right. I have an appointment

I’ll leave you with your memories of your days in the sun. Okay. Bye-Bye.

Did you enjoy that, Nicole?

No. No, Eric, I didn’t.

It didn’t look like she was telling you she was married. It looked like she was kissing you. Believe me, Lee, when I say that, that was a one-sided kiss. Really? Yes. You see, Gabby texted me. Meet her here to talk. And I was like, Baba Booie. This is the first day of the rest of our new life together. And then she got here and then she was like, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Stop the clock. And she told me about the, the grand gesture that you made to, to save your marriage. Right. It was a simple contract, basically you promising her your demaris shares in exchange for, for six months. And forced cohabitation. And I gotta tell you that that is one of the most romantic things I have ever heard in my life.

And despite that, I said to her, screw the contract, run away with me. You know, in the name of love. But she was adamant and determined to stick to the. And that’s when I mistakenly thought that the arter of my kiss could convince her to renig on her side of the agreement. And that’s when you showed up in the nick of time, as it were.

Oh, no, Lee, Lee, Lee, you had nothing to worry about because as much as I hate to admit it, as you can see, my words did not sway. A bit, Stephen. I don’t like to be jumped and I don’t like it when a man doesn’t listen. When I say no,

am I supposed to believe that because of the contract, you’re rejecting the man that you moved heaven and earth to get back. For me, a deal’s a deal. Okay? I signed that contract and I intend to abide by it. And, and listen to me. If you want me to extend at the end of six months, you better stop acting like a.

You’re saying I overreacted. I’m saying I’m abiding by the contract. And that’s all you can expect for now.

You’re right. You are holding up your end of the deal and it’s up to me to win you back. You know, leave for what it’s worth, dog. I mean bell you gotta do is maybe just kidnap her and brainwasher and then maybe chauffer. Forget all the crazy crap you pulled about abiding by the contract Gabby. In the spirit of openness, I want to tell you something that I just found out.

Something in the fine print and what’s that? Just a little cosal about what you can and cannot do over the next six months. Kind of like a morals clause.

Okay. All right. The, the, the thing is, after what we, you and I talked about this morning, I, uh, I did ask Wendy, you know, how she thought Stefan was doing, and I did. come here to take her to lunch. Uh, but then when I got here, she was installing some spyware on his computer, not on my own. Stefan knew I was going to, right?

Yes. Um, and, and anyway, that just got me thinking a little bit about Stephanie. And so I did, I, I, I, I, I told her that you were, you know, worried about him, about Stefan. Worried about him? Well, yeah, cuz of, you know, all he’s been through, just worried in general. Well, I wouldn’t worry about that. Great. Uh, so then you want to do, uh, the pub or, or, or buddies, burgers.

However, you should worry, both of you about lying to me.

I haven’t seen you much around home. Oh yeah, I’ve been pretty busy with the bakery. We’re shorthanded since, since Holly left. Since Holly left. Chanel.

I’m afraid I’m going to, I’m gonna put my foot. Go ahead, Abe, please just say, say what you’re thinking. You know, you don’t have to stay away because you feel you have to cover up your feelings around us, especially your mom. And we both know how jolly hurt you. I heard her too. Her hooking up with Alex was a nail in our coffin, but it all started when I couldn’t really let go of Johnny.

So you told Wendy about my concern that Stephanie is using drugs. Well, like I said, I’m worried about him too. I just asked Wendy, is she seen anything? Yeah, I swear Mr. Deir, I won’t tell anybody trying to, well, I hope not for Stefan’s sake. For the. Look Dad, you can trust Wendy. Okay? I promise. Well, I’ll have to, won’t I?

But on the other hand, having you in the loop on this matter might be something that works to my advantage. Your advantage in trying to help my brother a morals pause. It stipulates that if at any time during the six months we are still, wed you. Commit adultery. Our deal becomes null and void and those shares revert to me.

But lucky for us, you turn down your ex-husband.

How about this Nicole? New rule. Moving on. As they say, we need to keep from judging other people’s bad decisions.

You know, when we were together, I spent a lot of time thinking about what it would be like if Marlena was my mother. And you know, I thought it would be heaven. It was so, it must be hell dealing with losing her. Listen, I’ve spent the night in jail and I’m really exhausted. Okay? Listen, Eric, you, you cannot be with that woman.

She is bad for you. Give my best ej No wait. She is a terrible person. She came here purposely to destroy a young woman’s life. And I know, I know, I know, I know EJ did that and more. But look, I’m not a good person, so it it, it doesn’t matter if I’m with ej, but you, you mean with that woman. I, I just don’t know who you are anymore.

Eric. I mean, do you. It’s like you’re lost out at sea and she is the anchor.

Hi. Sorry I’m late. Busy morning. Well, I read in the papers the mess your brothers are in. I assume you were helping them out. Oh yes. Well, I was helping Brady out. I got him out on bail, but, left Eric there to fend for himself. Hmm. I can’t say that I blame you considering the way he defended Sloan Peterson trying to slew us into oblivion.

Oh, by the way, where do we stand on that? Ah, actually I checked in with the lead attorney at the firm that you hired for your case, and he said it’s been pretty quiet. Hmm. No news. Good news. Right. Um, while we’re on this subject, uh, I wanted to talk to you about my retainer. It seems like there was a.

Problem with the check that you gave me. What would that be? It bounced. What? Oh, that is not possible. Okay. Well, I got this alert on my phone, uh, from the bank. You know what, I’ll call the bank, find out what the hell, apple, oh, uh

oh. Hello? Uh, hello. Yeah, Regina. Yeah, this is Paul. No. No, I haven’t. I haven’t checked my messages yet up, but I was what? What do you mean? All of my assets were frozen? I don’t even know. I don’t know how that’s even possible. Hmm. I do.

What the hell are you doing? Again? I came here to answer all your questions about your assets being frozen and to give you this,

it’s a court order. From this day forward, you’re gonna need the court’s prior. For any and all expenditures. That’s my money. Not for long. It isn’t like I told you before, I’m gonna take you for every last cent.

So why you decided to set up an intervention? Prevent me from making bad decisions. I’m worried about you. Why? Why? Because I’m a good man and Sloan is a bad woman. She’s a Jezebel who’s trying to corrupt me. When have you decided to start passing judgment? She is the opposite of everything you believe in.

Don’t, no, do not tell me what I believe in. I’ve lived my entire life. Or some moral code. I know I was there. Yeah. Well, my mother, who is the greatest person that I have ever known, who is no longer on this earth anymore because of Orpheus and Kristen Amira, who aren’t worth the powder to blow them back to hell where they belong.

I don’t give a damn about right or wrong. Song, if she’s bad for me, makes bad decisions. You know what? The sex is really good, and that’s all that I really care about right now, and I can settle for that. Have we got it? Are we clear? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We’re clear. Okay. You have a new vocation now. You’re gonna be a shallow jerk and God only knows that you are the perfect person to show you the robes.

You know what? Have fun tonight. I’m sure I’ll read about it tomorrow.

You think it’s an advantage that I’m in the loop. I don’t say this often enough. For Johnny was right. You never say that. Actually, it’s a good idea to have someone who works with Steph and be aware that there might be a problem. You know? I don’t know. I don’t know. Maybe instead of spying on him, it could be a good idea to just talk to him directly.

Don’t ask him if he’s using perhaps down the line, but I don’t wanna take that step until we’re sure of our facts. I don’t want rumors in innuendo flying around the office, and I don’t want board members using it as ammunition against Stephan. I think we should keep what we know to ourselves. Because we all know that we only have Stephan’s best interest at heart.

Hey, are you all right? Fine. I would imagine he’s a little disappointed at the way his day is going. Did you find it clause 2.6 on marital duties? Yes, Lee, I found. I don’t mean to keep harping on it, but I think it’s only fair that you know the contract and everything that you signed so you don’t, you know, slip up.

I mean, it would be a travesty to lose all those shares and all that lovely power because that one can’t keep his hands off you and. With the stakes this high, even the appearance of infidelity could be disastrous to you. Well, thank you for looking out for me, for looking out for my best interests. I just don’t want there to be any misunderstandings down the road.

But like I said, you already told him to take a hike even before you knew the consequences, and I have to. This contract is turning out to be a capital idea, shall we?

We can’t have you hide in your assets claiming that you don’t have the means to pay the eight figure judgment that I’m gonna get whenever the jewelry comes back. Ruling that you and your tramp daughter are the reason for my mother’s wrongful death, right? So if Chanel is a tramp, then what’s your father?

A predator or just a sad academic cliche? Look at it. This. This is like a dress rehearsal for your life as a popper. You do know, counselor, that you and the judge are overreaching here. Don’t worry, Paul. I will file a motion and have this undone. I’m just delaying the inevitable. When this is done, I’m gonna have all of your houses, all your businesses, in every last crumb from your daughter’s baker.

You know, it’s been my experience that a marriage doesn’t survive when the man has been possessed by the devil. It can be hard to find closure. Tell me about it now. Now that alley’s out of the picture. We thinking about starting over with Johnny.

Actually, no. He’s moved on with Wendy Shin,

you know? Hmm. I think you and I have something in common. Yeah. The love of Ancho. We both have families where it’s impossible to know when or if someone is telling the truth. Do you think my dad’s lying? I truly don’t know, but I do have a strong feeling that he didn’t confide in us just because he is worried about his brother.

Are you implying that you think my father might have a hidden agenda? What is this about ej?

You were going to see Gabby, weren’t you? Surprised you back so soon. Don’t tell me there’s trouble in paradise.

You seem. Such insight. You just spelled out the term for the contract and put me on alert to stay away from Stephan, a fellow you needed to know. Oh, and thank you for that. Now I’m gonna tell you what you need to know. I will not put up with being stalked. I don’t follow. Oh, you literally did follow. How did you know where I was?

Were you tailing me? Did you have some guy do it for you? I think you’re being paired and I think you’re being insufferable. You asked for six months, you got six months. That means we live together, not that you own me. And yes, to be clear, we are still legally. But let’s, let’s remember that history teaches us that a vindictive wife can do a hell of a lot of damage to her husband’s financial holdings and the trajectory of his career.

So if I were you from now on, I would be very, very careful about how you treat me.

And Lee showed up all sorts of hilarity ensued. I’m sorry, Lee. Lee Shin Gabby’s husband, he’s worked with us for years. . Oh, I’m sorry. Uh, I’m kind of, I’m kind of overwhelmed by all these figures. Ah, those are the letters of credit. Uh, yeah. So, uh, how’d the phone call go? Any problem. I admit I got a little confused, but I handled it.

I no doubt that you did. I’m sorry that I ran out on you like that. Let me take a look at those. Maybe that’s a good idea.

I think I’ve figured out what’s wrong with me. I’ve been pushing myself with the gym lately and I think I might be a little dehydrated. Ah. Tell you what, why don’t I grab us something to drink. We can go over this together. Sounds like a clap. Thank you. More than welcome.

Well, I am going to go meet your mom. You wanna cut? Uh, actually no. I’m, I’m gonna stay here and finish my coffee and, uh, I’ll catch up with you later. Okay, good, good, good. I love you. Now I’ll do, and I love you

Damn it.

Can I help you? Uh, I hope so. Um, do you know the owner of the bakery? Um, let’s just say she and I are really close.

Oh, Johnny, you told Wendy about Stephanie, didn’t you? Yeah. But your father asked you not to it. It’s okay. Right? He, he knows all about it. He’s fine with it. What do you think your father’s keeping from you? I don’t know, but it, it feels a little weird. Okay. I, I have a hard time believing that Uncle Stephanie is using drugs, but you’re the one that found the vial in the office.

So what other explanation is there? Maybe whoever’s taking those drugs isn’t doing it. Volunt. What do you mean? What if one Demer brother is drugging? The other one?

I told Karen to hold out. Cole, would you mind getting that? Please? No

step.

Hello.

I guess it wasn’t important

shall get to work you.

Well disclosure, I didn’t follow you, nor did I hire someone to. I found out that you faked that call to Ariana School. I knew you were in the park because I tracked your phone. Jing one said that if I stooped to that, then I needed to let you go. And I think she’s right. I think we should end our marriage right now.

How could you not see this coming? You, you told Bell just this morning everything was quiet. Some Peterson freezing all of my assets that is not quiet. And you could imagine how much fun it was to hear it coming from her and, and not my lawyers who are charging me an arm and a leg on an hour when he faces us.

Well, you not anymore. You’re all fire. Well, uh, that might have been a little hasty. I don’t need them. I’ve got you. You do whatever it takes to stop Sloan Peterson and attracts.

So you are the owner? I am. You want a cookie? Uh, no. Actually what I want is a job You guys are hiring, right? That’s right. Um, you’re a baker. Mm-hmm. and a good one. Well, me too. Go ahead, have a cookie. I make the best damn chocolate chip cookies in the continental us. Uh, I don’t think so because I do. Mm-hmm.

actually, here have one.

You think your father is drugging? That’s ridiculous. What makes you so sure his sterling character? Stephan is his brother. He’s also his competition at Dera with dad. Business comes before family. Okay. Then what about the report from the investigator? Could have made it up? No, he didn’t have, because I was.

I was there when EJ saw the report and it said that Stephen’s fingerprints were on the vial. So if EJ bought the drugs, then how could Stephan’s fingerprints be on the vial?

This is good work. I spent so much time going over those numbers. My vision started to blow. I can see where that would happen. So did you find out what deal Gabby made with.

You mean I’ll take back my Demer shares and you’ll be free to be with Stephan after seeing him with you today. I, I now know that that’s what you really want, and I don’t wanna stand between you and your.

I am giving you the chance to walk away from our marriage, and

that woman is trying to clean me. And she will fight dirty to do it. You know, honey, I believe Bell has this bell. If it comes down to saving my money or protecting Chanel, throw me under the bus. Paul, I know. No, no, no. She’s my baby girl and she’s been through too much. I will do whatever it takes to protect.

No matter how much it costs,

you made this mm-hmm. . And if you like those, just wait until you taste my double chocolate Macarons. Mm. You used Madagascar bourbon vanilla extract. Baked them for eight minutes at 3 75. Wow. You really know your cookies, huh? Mm-hmm. . And I know a great baker when I meet one. So does that mean that I’m. I’m afraid not.

I’m confused. You just said I was a great baker. You are, but don’t need to fill out an application first.

Hi. Hi.

I thought I was supposed to meet you at your place. I couldn’t wait.

Yeah, you’re right. You’re right. If Fiff Stefan’s Prince are the ones on the vial, then the, the drugs must be his. I guess I just didn’t want to believe that he could be using. Look, we all wanna help. And the best thing to do is just trust EJ to do his best for him.

Well, she, uh, really made a case that this isn’t some big conspiracy, so I guess settles it unless Nicole’s in on it apparently. Gabby holds on to Lee’s voting block of Damara shares as long as she stays married to him for six months. Lot can happen in six months.

You can hear it all. What’s six months between captains of the universe? You too know I love you. Right back at you. Gabby can’t have your cake and eat it too. What’s it gonna be?

I made a deal and I intend to keep it. I see. But I, I do have a proposal. We’re listening. We’re in this for six months. Right? Let’s at least try to be. Social. I mean, I know it’s probably too late now to do most of the stuff that you have planned for today, the feeding, the ducks, the picnic, but maybe we could go to the Vango Exhibit

I’d like that very much.

That is true. A lot can happen in six months. Mm. And at the end of those six months, are you planning on aligning yourself with Gabby to aby as close to you? I love Gabby, but family comes first. I would never betray my own brother. I feel exactly the same way.

Days of Our Lives Transcript

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Brady. Hey. Hey, uh, Sean told me that Bella was representing you and that she got them to drop the charges. Yeah, I’m just out on veil. Oh, but you’re free for now. I’m glad.

Are you really?

You look pitiful. I’m fine. I, um, I questioned your sister today. What about Eric? I quar. And her response was, what about ’em? May I infer from that, that, uh, she declined to represent you? Infer away, God, I mean, your own sister bailing on you. You must just feel pretty desperate. Did you come down here to gloat?

See, it must seem like only a world class lawyer could get you out of this. The thing is, is. I happen to know where you can find one. Yeah, the internet, the world class lawyer.com. I like it when a man cracks jokes as he’s drowning,

tidying up. How domestic of you? I’m always tidy with evidence of a crime, especially when I’m in on it. You are not in on a crime. Stefan was trying to drug me. All we did was turn the tables on. And what did that Astra ever do to you? Uh, it’s a house plant in the Dira living room. Okay. It’s been doused with poisons and mine alling drugs since it was a seedling.

And it’s not an Astra. Well, I like saying Astra. Mm-hmm. , you know, I’ve been thinking about that unexpected call from Gabby. I’ve decided it is a stroke of good fortune. So we are drugging Stefan to make him seem unfit to serve as Damira, C E o. So Gaby is actually the perfect witness to his first little episode.

Yeah, I mean, he really was excited to see her with a kid on his first date, but, If that drug works the way we think it will, it might spoil the mood. Oh, come on. Catastrophic first dates a romantic staple, down the road. Both of those kids will look back on this and laugh.

are you sure you’re okay? Fine. I’m just a little dizzy. You have that effect on me.

Gabby’s not at Ari’s school. She lied to me. My wife lied to me.

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

Of course. I’m glad that you’re free. I just hope you don’t end up in prison for kidnapping. I’m pretty sure Bell’s gonna be able to get the charges dropped. Oh yeah, sure. Without a doubt. I mean, no big deal. Right. Just kidnapping someone and subjecting them to a Force D programming powered by small kitchen appliances.

Okay. Under the direction of a mad scientist slash escaped convict. I know, I know. . Right. You know, it’s not a big deal. It’s practically a prank. Uh, did I mention that this was all against Stephan’s? Will, I really tried to get him to go along with it, Chloe, and what part of No. Did you not understand? So you’re not happy with the way I went about things, huh?

No, I don’t think that happy would be a term I’d use right now. Okay. Well, let me tell you something right off the bat here. I would’ve. What I did and a lot worse to make sure that you and I found our way back to one another at the end of the day. Stefan is glad I did it. Gabby is glad. I’m glad. How about you?

Well, in your defense, you were just trying to undo what Kristen and Lee did. They’re the ones who played God with four people’s lives. Mm. Those four people’s lives are back where they started and they are happy about that. Yeah, we are back to where we started. Rachel still hates me. This is not exactly a happily ever after moment, but no, it’s different.

It’s different now. Kristen is not around to manipulate the situation anymore. She’s not gonna be whispering. Lies into my daughter’s fear about. It is all new. It’s a new start. And where do I start? What do I buy, Rachel? A pony. Well, you don’t, don’t do that. We can just take it slow. My father is bringing Rachel here for lunch, and I would love, I would love if you would join us, please.

Why would you wanna represent. Remember telling me to go to hell. Mm-hmm. , of course I do. And I remember why you could have lost me my license trying to spring ro from custody, but Ralph and Lee are free now. Alls while it ends well, well it only ended well because I’m such a damn good lawyer. I freed Lee and I can do the same for you if you’d let me.

If I had a white flag, I’d be waving it. Jing one. I’m sorry. I I I thought you had left. I, oh, so you just wanted to trash my apartment? Not causing me bodily harm. Are you hurt? Tell me you’re not hurt. No, I’m fine. See, I’m worried about whatever happened to my brother with ice water in his veins. Gabby, I found out she lied.

Hey, what did she lie about? She said she couldn’t spend the day with me because she had a mix up at Ariana’s school, and so I called the school and found out Gabby had made it all up, which I suspected. In fact, I knew she did, so I tracked her phone. You. No wonder she lies to you. You’re stalking her.

She’s my wife and right now she’s in the park and I know exactly who she’s with. You sure you’re okay? Yeah. Yeah. I’m fine. I am. I am very happy to be here with you and happy that we are finally back together. Yeah, it’s great. You don’t sound like you think it’s great. No, I mean, we’re, we’re together. We’re here sitting at the park together, but we’re not together.

Not the way we should be. Okay. Not to spoil the moment here, but whose fault is that, Lee? Everything is Lee’s fault. Not to spoil alone again, but Lee did not hitch over the head with his club take you back to his cave for six months. Luke chose to stay married to him to live with him.

You don’t love what? No, of course I don’t love him. How could I love somebody that’s said horrible things to you? To us? Okay then why’d you agree to his? Because he made me an offer I can refuse.

Well, whatever drug Stefan was going to give you doesn’t affect house plants. At least not immediately anyway, but it will work on him. Stefan wasn’t about to dose me with something that wasn’t going to. Which is something of a problem. How so? Well, as we discussed before, Stefan knows all about this drug and its effects, meaning he might start to get suspicious when he’s experiencing them.

Maybe he’ll think it’s Gabby’s perfume. I know. It gives me a headache. Oh, the lingering effects of Dr. Roll’s treatment.

Ej, you don’t think the drug. I don’t know too permanent damage. Steve, you? No, I don’t think he would risk that with me anymore than I would risk it with him. I’m just going to screw with his head until he makes enough mistakes to justify Stephan being booted it out there. Did I just hear you say you’re planning to boot Uncle Stephan from the company?

Brady, my joining you and Rachel for lunch today. I’m not sure. That’s a good idea. Fuck on it. It is a good idea. She just, Rachel just lost her mom. She, she lost her grandmother. I think it would be nice for, to have a, a woman to talk to, you know, to turn.

Hey. Hi sweetie. I missed you last night. I missed you too, daddy. Hi Rachel. My daddy was at jail last night. It’s all your fault.

So you’re offering to be my lawyer? Yeah. Don’t thank me or anything. No, I’m just trying to figure out why . I take it, you haven’t seen Lady Whistleblower’s latest column in The Spectator? No, my subscription, it ran out. So who is this lady? Whoever you said, it’s Leo Stark’s gossip column. Check it out.

According to my sources, the savvy Solicitor says she’s enjoying the best sex of her life. With a Defrock priest. What? Geez. I mean, I’m flattered, but Yeah. Well, she wasn’t that far off the mark. And yes, Eric, I am still furious with you, but maybe I admit I was a little hasty when I ended things so fast since I find myself missing all the fun we had together.

And I’m not talking about the good clean time either. Oh, come on Eric. I know you miss a deal, and if you do, I think we can work out a deal.

I’m not sure what you think. You heard, John, I think I heard you say that you wanted Stephan to make enough mistakes for you to be able to push him out of Dera. Is that what I heard him say? Well, the fact is your Uncle Stephan has made a. A serious one. Remember that vial of drugs you found at the Yahu and you thought was mine?

Yeah. It wasn’t. It was your Uncle Stephans.

So Lee gave you his Demari shares in exchange for six more months of marriage. That’s right. And you agreed I did. Uh, so it’s more like a, uh, limited partnership than, right. You negotiated the terms. So it’s, it’s kinda like a holding company, right? With a clear designation of duties and, uh, revenues. So really, it, it’s more like a, a, ah, what is it, short term merger than a marriage.

You wanna know if we’re having sex? Yeah. I wanna know if you’re having. No, it’s off the table. Not happening, wasn’t negotiated. Uh, Lee says he is doing this to show me how much he loves me, that he’s committed to me, and that really puts me in the driver’s seat. He can’t do anything to upset me at all.

Right. And I, I did this because I was feeling rejected by you. I really thought that you weren’t ever gonna be over. Chloe and Lee pointed out accurately that he could hold up this divorce for longer than six months, and I wouldn’t have the shares So, It, there just didn’t seem to be a downside at the time, but now there is.

And that is, are you kidding me too? I, I wanna be with you, so obviously I’m gonna tell Lee that he, he can take his six months and his shares and shove where the sun don’t shine.

Okay. So you beg for like six. To prove your love and devotion. And then on day two or something, you start stalking her. I can’t lose her. No, you don’t have her. You don’t own her. I don’t want to own her. I want to be her husband.

I know I did terrible things, but only because I love. I love her more than I knew I could love anyone.

Is that true? I swear it is.

I believe you. Thank you. No, don’t thank me yet, Lee, you forced me into the position of having to quote Occidental. If you left something, set it free, okay? Don’t buy a six month extension and then follow her on your G p s jerk.

You told Rachel when I was in jail? No, she read it in the Spectator Daddy. You let her read The Spectator? No, she was on her tablet. I thought she was playing cookie cutter. The paper also said weird things about Uncle Eric. Babe Fa baby. Listen that paper. Is, is, is, is a very nasty newspaper, okay? All they do is they print lies and the only reason they do that is so they can sell more papers.

Then were you in jail or not? Did you kidnap Uncle Stephan because of her? Was the paper lying about that?

I appreci. Your offer for professional services. And I admit I could use good attorney right now, but honestly I don’t have a job. So I don’t think I can afford you.

Maybe I could, um, take it out and trade.

So you’re saying the vial was Uncle Steffens that. And I took it to the lab and had it analyzed. Apparently it’s some sort of synthetic recreational drop and you’re sure you’re sure that it’s Steffens. His fingerprints were on it and it was found in an office that we shared, and I know it’s not mine.

Look, son, I’m. I’m sorry, but I’m really afraid that Stefan’s on drugs and it’s not surprising, considering everything he’s been through, and I know this is going to sound harsh and though I will do anything I can to help. My first duty is to make sure he doesn’t do any damage to the company my father’s legacy.

Johnny, I’m asking you to keep what I’ve told you to. I do have to investigate what Stefan’s been doing and has done, but there is a part of me that’s opened beyond hope that I’m wrong, son, I’m asking you to trust. Okay? For now,

do you think he bought it? You better pray that he does.

I don’t think I can just gi give up on Gabby. Of course you can, Lee. You have to. But I’ve never loved anyone like, like you love her. I get it and I believe it. I just told you that,

look, I hate that you’re in pain, but what you’re doing will only make things worse. So you have to think about this clearly and objectively. Okay? Do you really want a wife who’s in love with another man?

Did you hear what I just said? I told you I’m leaving Lee to be with you. Yeah, I did. Well, I thought that you’d be a little happy and made me even smile. No, Gabby, look, I Of course. I want you to leave Lee. I want us to be together. I’m also convinced that all of this will soon.

Uh, look, we belong together, right? But we’re not these star crossed. Do we hide lovers? We belong together because we get each other. We know what we want, and we want it on our terms. What terms are those? You and I running Dara together To that end. I was scared to even ask. I think you need to stay with Lee.

You got my mommy said to y’all and not my daddy. Hey Rachel, Rachel. Enough. It, it was not Chloe’s fault at all. And I don’t want you talking to people that way. Do you hear me? Why not? If it’s the truth, but it’s not the truth. Young lady. You might want it to be the truth, but it’s not. Now look, we know that you’re dealing with a lot right now and your daddy and I are trying to do everything we can to help you by letting you walk around saying things that aren’t true is bad for you, and we’re not gonna let that happen.

No. I know it’s very, very hard when a kid loses their mother. You know? Who else knows that Your daddy here. And sometimes it’s so hard that the kid gets really angry when they think someone’s trying to take the place of their mother. And you know, who else knows that

your daddy here.

Come with Poppy for a second. I want to tell you a story about your daddy. Just sit right up here. Here we go.

No, your daddy was just a little bit older than you. He and Grandma Marna, they didn’t get along very well. Ah, correction. I didn’t get along very well with grandma. That that was, that was all on me. I, that, that, that, that, that’s immaterial here. Here. The fact is you were having a very rough time and Rich, you know who understood that?

Do you know who was eventually able to get your daddy to see? She wasn’t there to try to replace his mommy or anybody else. All she wanted to do was love him. You know who that was? That was your grandma. That was Grandma Marlena. Because grandma always knew that people’s feelings could be so strong. He could hurt so much that sometimes they would think things that aren’t true.

Oh God. You know, I wish she were here right now because she, could she tell you this so much better than I ever could miss her? I wish she was here too. So do I,

I really, really wish she was here. You know, she, um, she wasn’t technically my mom, but. She loved me like she was, but she was Grandma. She’s not. I never loved her, and I want her gone.

Thank you for agreeing to the hearing, Ms. Tr.

Mr. Shin, what can I do you for the contract you drew up for me and Gabby? Yes. I’m having some second thoughts about it and I’d like to ask you a few questions.

Hey, you busy, uh, just installing some new software? Hmm. How you doing here? Well, I was going to see if you wanted to go grab some lunch with me if you don’t already have plans with your new roommate trips at work. Hmm. And uh, I was running a little late this morning. I just got here a little while ago, so I think I should maybe try to clock in more than 20 minutes before I head out.

Oh. You know, I actually have an in with your boss, so I think it’d be okay. My dad really likes you, by the way. Oh, yeah. Mm. . Well, I would like it to stay that way, so I’m hoping you kept my name out of it. When you asked him about the vial you found and, uh, we were both thinking you might have been using, he has no idea you knew anything.

I promise you haven’t, uh, seen anything else suspicious around here, have you? No. But if that file wasn’t your dad’s, I think we should probably try to figure out who it did belong. Yeah. Yeah. Right. You know, don’t you? Well, and you’re not gonna tell me I promised my dad that I wouldn’t. Okay. Why would he care?

Unless he shares this office with your uncle. Oh my God. It’s Steffens, isn’t it? Well, uj, you were very convincing. When you said, I will do anything to help my brother with his drug problem,

I know it’s scary. What a gifted liar you are. Hmm. I mean, so much coming from you.

You can say that again,

but don’t you think it’s a risk? And Johnny is really fond of his Uncle Stephan, right? Enough to keep an eye on him, help him with the result being he’ll see Stephan sad decline step by step and back me up when I make the case to throw the BA out of the mirror. The bastard sad climb that you orchestrated.

Well, you don’t want to be of anything up to Charles, do you?

Look Gabby, of course, I want you to leave Lee so that we can be together, but we need to think through this. Obviously I won’t you as my c E O. What about ej? Screw that guy. He knew what Lee was doing to me and he covered for him. But here’s the thing, getting EJ out of Damara, that’s one thing. Getting you installed in his seat, that’s, that’s another, and that requires board approval.

And if you leave Lee, he retains his vote and he would use his vote against me. Yeah. So that, that leaves EJ with his seven votes to our, let’s, excuse me, Jake, Kristen, Peter, Jake, Steven, you said Jake. Right. Uh, I’m sorry. How many, how many does that goes with? It’s five. Hey, are are you sure you’re okay? No, no, I’m fine.

I’m just feeling a little fuzzy. Thank you, wolf. The bottom line is we don’t have enough votes without le leases. Yeah. Even if I give Lee’s shares back, we have a tie. And the tie reverts the status quo. Unless, unless what? Unless. EJ becomes tragically incapacitated.

Did I hear you right? You wanna cancel the conflict with Gabby back out of the deal? That’s what I said. Why the hell would you do that? You’ve got her right where you want her. She has to live with you for six months. If she moves out, she loses her shares. If she cheats on you, she loses her shares. If she even Jay walks, she’s losing her shares.

Hold on, please repeat that. Oh, come on. You got the gist of it. You’re in the catbird seat here, Lee. No, repeat what you said about her cheating. Well, the contract doesn’t state it explicitly, but it’s clearly implied under clause 2.6 in marital duties. Oh my. You’re a genius. Thank you so much. I have to go.

Uh, please forget that I ever called.

Come on, dad. Is there any possibility that you could take her home? You don’t wanna go home? I’m, I’m sorry, Kate. You know, I would if I could, but I’m meeting with Steve and it’s pretty important. I’m sorry. Be Richie. Try to think about what Papa just said. Okay, honey,

you just tried to get rid of me. No, don’t. No. Sweet. I just thought it would be best if I talked to you separately and maybe to Chloe separately, but I would love if we could just have lunch. You know, why don’t we all go to lunch and we’ll talk my lunch? You invited her to my lunch with you. Okay. I’m just gonna go, no, Chloe, please don’t.

I’m not going anywhere. She’s going.

It’s done. That’s the fastest bill hearing in history. I work so magic. Wait here for the guard and you should be a free man and a Jiff. See you later. We’ll talk about my retainer.

Please don’t say anything to my dad. Of course I won’t, especially since I’m not even certain. I believe it. What do you. Okay. Your uncle was presumed dead for four years. Brainwashed the works. He finally gets what he wants. He’s c e o of the company, totally on top of his game at work. He’s not the one who’s screwing things up around here.

And what are you trying to say? Are you sure your dad was telling you the. That he’s not the one who’s using.

I’m a little nervous about what I’m gonna find at the office today. Brady doesn’t seem too focused. Uh, I would think given his business expertise, the office would’ve benefited from his incarceration. Well, I guess we’ll see.

Are you okay? I am. Ooh, I, I, I, I dunno. Hey, what’s, what’s going on? Good. You bought it. Oh. Stephanie needs to think that he is successfully in drugging you, so I need to behave accordingly. It is going to be a fun afternoon at the office.

So I’ve been drugging him, ej, that’s why he is been acting so weird. That’s how he tanked the stock price with his loose lips. Oh, any more incidents like that. And the board will remove him for. Oh, well, couldn’t have happened to a nicer five and that I lose his voting power unless, unless he assigns someone else’s Kate’s proxy.

Or pull some other stunt. All right. E. E. Either way, if we don’t get this done, it’ll be next to impossible to install you in his seat or even remove him from Dera permanently. Please. What are you saying? I’m saying that Lee’s shares are our insurance policy. That’s why you need to hold onto. And that’s why you need to stay married to Lee,

Eric. Hey, what I just read that you and Brady were in jail. Uh, yeah, my attorney just got me out on bail. Oh, well good for bell bell’s. Not my attorney slowness.

Why would you even say that to me? I mean, it’s not like my Uncle Stephan hasn’t been acting a little weird lately. Okay. Okay. Yes. His personal life is a mess because he was brainwashed. His work product has been amazing. If you were using people would. And your dad. On the other hand, I hate to say this, but people are starting to talk, so what you’re telling me is that my dad lied to me.

No, no he didn’t. I’m sure of it. Okay. He was genuinely worried about Stephan. I could tell. Okay. I’m sorry. I said anything didn’t mean to upset you.

Look, trust me. Okay. My dad is totally back to his normal self. I even overheard. Talking about having stepped and removed from his job. Now if, if he, if he was gonna do that, he, he obviously believes that he, you know what? I shouldn’t have said that. Um, I’m sure my dad probably doesn’t want that getting around.

Why not? If your uncle has a drug problem, then we’re removing him. Should be pretty straightforward. Of course, the first thing we should be doing is getting him help. Yeah, that’s what my dad said. My dad said that he wants. Stephan . You know what he said? He, he said he wanted to help Stephan while he was standing in the room with my no-nos portrait.

My no-no is a Nobel Prize winner for lying. What if my dad’s trying to groom me as his star witness against Stephan? I mean, what if my dad is the one drugging Steph?

You can understand, can’t you? This wasn’t exactly the response I thought you were gonna have when I told you I’m leaving my husband for, you thought you were gonna sweep me off my feet into a passionate kiss, but instead you came up with a brand new business model. I’ve let you down, haven’t I? No, actually I find it kind of exciting.

Yeah, we can hear it all. You and I, what’s six months between captains of the universe? You do know I love you. Right, right back at you.

It’s okay, Brady. I’m gonna go No, no. Hey, please, please, please don’t go. Don’t. I don’t want her to think that she can get away acting like this. She has been through too much, way too much lately. It’s important that she feels and that she knows that she comes first. You work all that she has, right?

Uh, Sloane is your lawyer, Sloane Peterson. Do you know of any other Sloan? Well, you told me you two broke up and that she was furious with you. She was. Okay. Then why did she take your case? We made up. What is that? So close to me exactly what it sounds like. Why would I give up the best sex of my life and why would he write, sweetheart?

Um, what are you doing here and what are you two co-conspirators up to this time?

You convinced, I love you now and I love you. God, I missed you so much and I you, I’m so sorry for how I treated you. No, don’t apologize. It’s not your fault. What matters is that we’re together now. Finally, finally,

what the hell’s going on here?

Days of Our Lives Transcript

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

What is with all the clinging here? Oh, sleeping Beauty has finally awakened after a terrible night’s sleep. Oh, sorry about the noise. I, I was looking for the proper pan and a couple fell on the floor. Is that what woke you? Me and have a Salem? I. Where is everybody? Uh, chip and Wendy left for work. That’s what woke me up.

Uh, lots of loud shit chat out here, but how can I complain when the love of my life and I are under the same roof and on our first morning together? On the road to our future wedding bliss. I made breakfast. Your fave, qui you, you made Yeah, of course. Please take a seat. Ah, hard pass. I’m not hungry.

Someone is still upset that Stefan no longer loves Chloe.

Chloe. Hey, it’s good to see you, Sean. Hi. Good to see you too. When did you get back? Yesterday and, oh boy. If you missed one day in this town, We miss a lot.

Brothers Grim indeed.

Fine mess. You two have gotten yourselves into.

Oh, good to see somebody else’s family drag through the town square for a change. change of pays for sure. Mm. Brady and Eric being arrested for what they did to my brother as old news. What I’m more concerned about is what you and I are going to do to him. So why don’t you put that down so we can focus on the task at hand.

Absolutely. . And just so you know, I am still totally committed to helping you give your two-face distant brother a taste of his own medicine. It will indeed be satisfying. Yes. Once you and I are through with him, not only will he have reaped what he sow, but the one who will be deemed on fit to serve as co c e o will be staff.

Someone say my name.

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

Ms. Peterson, shouldn’t you be out chasing an ambulance? ? Oh, I think I hear one now. Off you go. Huh? Oh, that’s funny. I, I don’t hear anything. You must be picking up a distant dog whistle. What do you want, Sloane? I don’t have time right now for whatever dirt bag you’re representing. Right. And let’s be honest, whoever it is, if you are representing them, then they’re undoubtedly guilty.

No. Well, thank you for the vote of confidence, but I’m not here on business. This is personal. I came here to make sure that you throw the book at Eric Brady

well after your recent fall from Grace. So I’m not at all surprised to see my holier than thou brother get arrested again. But you, Brady, I did not see this one coming. Did you even think about Rachel? I mean, she already has one parent in prison. What’s she gonna do if she loses you too? Bell, bell, bell.

Come on. Stop. Stop with the haranging. All right. Just, are you gonna help us get outta here or not? Uh, no. I’m not gonna stop with the haranging. What the hell were you thinking? Kidnapping Stephan Damira and holding him against his will is a class one felony. If you two are convicted, you’re facing serious prison.

So please tell me why you would do something so crazy and stupid. Be Stephan didn’t gimme a choice.

Good morning brother. And Nicole and I were just talking about you. Ah, all good things. I hope. We were discussing the egregious crimes perpetrated by the brothers Grim. We are both outraged and concerned about what happened. You suffering through such a torturous or. Yeah. You poor guy. I, I can’t imagine what it must have been like to have someone messing with your head like that.

Ralph didn’t drug you, did he? No, no, no drugs. Just a good old fashioned crude, forced reconditioning. Oh, and while I do appreciate your concern and outrage, as much as I hate to admit it, I think they did me a favor. Is that so? It is. At least now I know where my heart lies. I love Gabby and only Gabby . Why would I be upset that Stephan doesn’t love Chloe anymore?

You know? Damn well that’s exactly what I wanted. Sub. Now I’m in this miserable situation with you for six damn months. It already feels like eternity.

I am now two So try to.

Your accent sucks. It means living present, right? That means stop with your lousy Spanish. Okay? And here I thought it was endearing. Am I trying to speak to you in your language? I am bilingual, which means Spanish and English are main languages. And if you think that speaking to me in butchered Spanish is endearing, it’s not.

It’s condescending and it hurts my ears not. And Lee, just because I agreed to live with you Debbie, I understand my position. My chances of winning you back are zero slim. Now that step is no longer pining over Chloe. I want you to know Mia. . Sorry. But I want you to know that I’m undeterred I, I gave you my Demer shares as a symbol of my commitment to you, and I’m gonna take these six months that we’ve agreed upon to show you that.

Though you’re fighting it right now, you will soon realize I am the man you belong with. I love.

So now you’re completely over Chloe. Yes, I am. I, it didn’t happen all at once. I had to see Chloe in order to realize that my feelings had changed. All right. When Rafe finally released me from Eric and Brady’s clutches, I went to go see Chloe and Rolf was success. It’s like I told Chloe, it’s, it’s as if the feelings I had for her were never even there in the first place.

How kind of you to let her down gently? No, no, no. See, she was the one letting me down gently because as she was expressing her feelings to me about how she could never love a man who was in love with two different women, I looked at her. It was as if all the. That I ever felt for her was gone.

Well, uh, that’s good news, right? I mean, especially for Brady. I know he could use that right now. So that’s why you missed cocktail hour yesterday. We were waiting for you. My apologies. Oh, please. And I’m required, we’ll have plenty of opportunities to raise your glass together. I look forward to it. As do I.

So amay right to assume that this means you will soon be reunited with Gavin. Are you asking me as my brother concerned about my love life or a COCE of Damara Enterprises concerned about his standings within the. I’ll admit to the former and not deny the matter. And yes, it is my fervent wish to be reunited with the woman I love.

Hulton. What are you doing here? Uh, well I’m here with my brother and his friend because for some damn reason Gabby made a commitment to stay with her husband, bonk. Sorry, does my French also hurt your ears? Everything you say hurts my ears. You sure this isn’t S delivery? Come on. You know Mercedes doesn’t make their tortillas from scratch.

Go ahead, try them.

Okay. I guess just, okay. Okay. What do you want a medal for? Not screwing up a recipe. Cavi. Um, I’m not asking you to pretend to like me. This arrangement we have, I, I I want you to be yourself authentic. Aw. Thank you for giving me permission. I didn’t mean it that way.

I know that you’re always authentic and though I know I deceived you in the past, uh, I, I’m determined to be honest from now on and to be. So let’s just, you know, give it a try. Okay. Would you, would you like some more hot sauce? Sure. Why not?

If one thing’s painfully clear, I have the devil Rose dev rows no longer run the spectator. Mm-hmm. . Yeah. Gwen Zander may have used this as a hit job, but the thing is they’re not wrong. Oh my God. What Brady and Eric did to Stephan, no wonder they’re in serious trouble. Yeah. Well, I mean, there is one sliver of hope in all this.

I was on the case.

Oh. Oh, you had no. Right. You had no choice but to pull an insanely stupid and risky stunt because you couldn’t, I don’t know, use your head. Stephan was never willingly gonna let Ralf deprogram him. So, uh, I had to force things a little bit. Yeah. Okay. That’s not an excuse Brady. That’s a confession. He was terrorizing Chloe.

Okay. Remember Chloe? You’re good friend. You know who she is? I know who is terrorizing her. Okay. What do you mean by he was terrorizing her? By his, by his, by his obsession bell. Yeah. His all-consuming love for Chloe. And the only reason he felt it was because that lunatic Rolf messed with his brain. You understand?

Hey, it was borderline stalking. That’s what it was. She had to leave town just to get away from him to have a little bit of space. You understand why I had to step in and do something, right? Okay. Yes, I understand your motivation. Okay, but you understand we have no case here. Even if I could prove that Stefan was a threat, which is doubtful, your actions were a bit extreme and completely indef defenses.

And what about you, bro? What’s your excuse?

I am surprised that you have it in for Eric Brady. Did junior paralegal have a falling out? For the record? Eric Brady was never my employee. Never once did he provide professional services for me. And what kind of services did he provide? Ms. Peterson, he stole legal documents from me. That’s what kind of service he provided.

He snuck into my briefcase without my permiss. Stole some documents and used them to perpetrate a fraud. All without my knowledge, he caused irreparable damage to my reputation, which was spotless until now, of course, you being so moral and ethical, the only thing I’m concerned about right now is are you gonna do your job or not?

Are you gonna prosecute this offender to the full extent of the law or just love snide comments at me and then collect your paycheck? How about all of the above? I am a multihyphenate. After all. I can think of one or two other things that you are. I do have one question for you, Sloan, before you go. Um, if I put Eric in three hots and a cot, who’s gonna make you hot in your cut?

My excuse is helping Brady do what needed to be done. Right? Yeah. I guess the family loyalty runs deep when it comes to your brother, but when it comes to your sister as just another story, right? Are you seriously gonna make this about yourself? You made this about me when you assaulted my husband. And then questioned my professional judgment for defending Paul and Chanel against your malicious girlfriend’s.

Frivolous lawsuits. Yeah. Well, not that that’s relevant, frankly, none of your business, but still not my girlfriend. Whatever we are, we aren’t anymore. Hmm. Is that because you took my advice and dumped that bitch, or is it because she cast you? When she, when she realized your idiotic decision to pose as her paralegal and misrepresent yourself to someone in police custody, , which to state the obvious, did real damage to any case they had against Lee Shin, which means that Da Trask now wants your head on a pike outside of the courthouse, and I am inclined to give it to her.

So, Now that we’ve had breakfast, I’ll share with you the plans I’ve made for the day. Okay? I, I’m gonna stop you right there. See, as I no longer have the responsibilities of gainful employment and my daughter is on the other side of the world, my plans for the day are to crawl back into bed and sleep the next six months away.

Gabby, come on. It’s a beautiful day outside today. Unseasonably warm for this time of year, so I thought we. drive to the lake with the baby ducks. I remember the photos you showed me of Ari feeding them that sweet smile on her face, and Ari told me that you love those ducks even more than she did, that she had to drag you away from them.

Was she making that up? No. Why would she make that up? Well, your secret’s safe with me. And then after that, after we feed the duck, . How about a picnic on a paddle boat? A and then in the afternoon I got tickets to the immersive van go exhibit at the museum. Oh, oh boy. You should have made a lot of plans without consulting me.

Well, here’s what, here’s what, here’s what I think about that. I’d rather cut my own ear off. Then go to that ve go exhibit with you or go with you anywhere for that matter. Thank you very much for the chilaquiles, but excuse me, because I have a date with some pillows. Come on. I’m really trying here. Okay.

And, and, and look, I know I did some horrible things that, that hurt you very badly. But I also know that under all that hurt, somewhere in that big heart of yours, there’s rooms or forgiveness. So you please give me a chance to help you find it.

I can’t believe Gabby stayed with Lee after everything he did to her and to you. Right? I, I don’t know any of the details, but, uh, apparently Gabby made a deal with him with paperwork involved. What sort of deal? What did she say? I don’t know. I didn’t have a chance to ask. Lee kicked me out of there before I could even say anything.

Shut the door in my face. Well, rest assured brother, whatever Devils pack, the two of them are made. You have the full support of the Mirror Enterprises and your family in that. Why don’t we discuss this over a cup of coffee? That’s an excellent idea. Please allow me.

Okay, here we are. Cold cream and sugar. Oh, you remembered. That was in the details. Ej, I know you like yours. Like I like mine black. Thank you, brother. Mm. Oh my goodness. I think this cream is bad. It’s like a bit sour. Oh, I know. I hate to see you get sick on my right. It’s a good thing I noticed. And don’t drink anymore

Good thing.

All right, here we go. Thank you. That a taste, huh? Perfect. Thanks. Two. To married enterprises, huh? And to you.

Fine. It’s fine. I will go feed the baby ducks with you, but only because it’s gonna cheer me up. What about the picnic? The museum? Okay. Yes. Fine. All that might cheer me up too, in spite of the company. But you have to promise. Not to try to hold my hand, not to whisper, sweeten. Nothings in my ear. No Spanish or French.

No war even pig, Latin. You got it. And no rocking the boat. You hear me literally or figuratively during the picnic? I’d get seasick on those things. All right, first mate. No, no nautical talk either please. I sure think Captain. Uh, sorry. Yeah. Okay. You got it. Hey, it’s day one of Gab. The beginning of something special.

I’m just so happy to be spending the day with you no matter what the rules.

Okay, we’ll, uh, why don’t I go take a shower and get ready and then we’ll meet back here and start our day together. No rush.

And how exactly is my private life relevant here at M D A? We’re not in a courtroom, Sloan. I’m just trying to break that cold, thick ice between us with a little office gossip. Well, that’s not how gossip works, Melinda. See, we have to talk about someone while they’re not here behind their back. Oh. My bad.

And who told you anyway about Eric and I? Lady Whistleblower. Who else? Lady Who? Uh, lady Whistleblower. Where have you been? She’s only the newest, hottest gossip columnist. Don’t you read the Spectator? Hmm. And how exactly does Lady Whistleblower know so much about my private? Oh, you maybe know her by her real name or one of them.

Leo Stark, I believe he was one of your former clients. The lady went into excruciating detail. According to her, Eric was the best sex of your life. He did things to you that I have never even heard of. Give me that.

My God.

Bill told me that she’s, uh, she’s headed down to the police station to see if she can help. Yeah. If anyone can get those two out of this mess, it’s bell. Yeah. Well, I do know that she’s committed to helping Brady out as much as she can, but I’m not so sure if she feels the same way about her other brother.

Oh no, you’re saying Bell isn’t gonna take Eric’s case.

Fear you. I know. I’ve made my shared. And as of recently, I know that we’ve been at aunts. I just wanna say that I really appreciate you coming down here to help me. I’m really glad that given my recent transgressions, I can still count on my little sister. Are you serious? Yes. You think that even given your recent transgressions, that I would come down here and bail your As.

There is no way I am taking your case. What Bill? Come on. No, you come on. You blew up every bridge between us and now that you’re a sleazy girlfriend or whatever you wanna call her, said bye-bye. You have the nerve to come to me and ask me to represent you when all you’ve done is disparage my work and refuse to listen to reason.

Won. You have done his rake, Brady and I over the coals because you were so superior. Oh, well screw that. If you didn’t come down here to represent Brady or I, then why the hell are you even here? Oh, I never said I wasn’t gonna represent Brady, but you, Eric are on your own.

You know, you’re a real smug, arrogant, judgmental, thinking that you’re so smart and all because you got a lot of G gritty. Eric, come on. Oh, no, no, no. I remember correctly. You failed the bar like three times. Did you know that? I mean, it’s correct. That mom was like, oh, more poor little bell. All right. It’s good for you.

Put your damn mouth right now. Yeah. Well, he doesn’t know what’s good for. It’s clear he is hit the floor after his long fall from Graces. No Bell. Listen, listen. He, he, he did all this for me, all right. To help me out. So look, look, I know he’s been a horse’s ass lately. What the hell? No, he’s been the king of the horse’s asses lately since he broke up with Nicole.

This has nothing to do with Nicole. Objection. Overruled. Listen, I got him into this mess bell. Please him. I need your help to get him out of it.

Well, that’s very moving, heartwarming. Brothers sticking up for each other. And yes, it is very clear to me that Eric was only an accessory to your crimes to Brady. And I am sure whoever represents Eric will make that argument in court. But as I said before, and I have not changed my mind, I will not be taking his case.

What would Mom say if she knew you turned your back on me? Don’t dare. Don’t you dare, dare. No, don’t you. You can’t leave me in here Bell watch me guard. I’m taking Brady Black to court for his arraignment.

Yeah, bell offered her legal services to Eric and uh, he went out of his way to refuse. I mean, he didn’t even take her advice. So in other words, he’s been a world-class director. Hmm. That’s kind of shocking, isn’t it? I mean, after his breakup with Nicole, I feel like he’s just gone off the deep end, like he’s turned to the dark side or something.

Yep. How the holy have fallen. And from what I understand, his breakup with Nicole was his doing. Yeah, apparently. Yeah. Well, he might have been without sin when he cast stones at her, but I think he’s more than made up for us since then. Aj. I know I’m supposed to be on that call with the bank this morning, but, uh, I think you should handle this one on your own.

Oh, I, I don’t know. Stephanie, do you really wanna take that chance? Especially since the powers of be all deeply concerned, obviously with the recent calamus decline in our stock, which was precipitated by my slip of the tongue, my, my laps and judgment, all the more reason for you to fly solo on this one, give you a chance to redeem yourself, prove to them you’re at the top of your game, su their jitters, so to speak.

Right? That is, if you feel up to it, oh, I, I’m, I’m feeling quite fine. S Stephan, thank. But still, I think it’s best that we both take the call, fly in town, demonstrate to them that we are a team with unwavering unity of vision and purposes, co CEOs. So shall I guide us in?

Yes. I, I understand. Yeah, no problem. I’ll, I’ll be right there. Okay.

Um, I’m, I’m really sorry. It was Ari’s school. Really? Uh, I thought you said you took Arian outta school to go to New Zealand with Will and Sunny. I did. I did that, but, um, will and Sunny need her records to enroll her in this new school. We’ve been having some problems. Transferring them are not something with the vaccinations.

Oh, I see. And I don’t know how long this is gonna take. I really need to get there though. Yeah, yeah. But I mean, no problem. We have plenty of time for ducks another day, but I’ll go with you to Ari’s school. I mean That’s okay. I’ll figure out the mix up. That’s fine. I, I can do that. It’s okay. You sure? Yes, I’m sure.

Hey, look, I know that you’re worried about Brady, but I’m confident that Bell’s gonna get him out on bail, and when she does, can the two of you just, uh, I don’t start again? I’m not sure that’s possible now. But I heard that Brady and Eric, they were, they were successful getting Roe to Deprogram stuff. And although it wasn’t in the most productive way, but I mean, it happened.

So doesn’t that mean that Stephan’s no longer in love with you? That’s right. And how do you feel about that?

I mean, it’s, it’s fine. I mean, honestly, I, his feelings for me to begin with were overly intense. And since I knew that they didn’t come naturally, if you will, I never wholeheartedly believed in his love for me. But, um, Stephan not loving me is not the greatest obstacle that Brady and I are facing. No. Well, what was, or should I say what is.

That’s Rachel Brady’s daughter. She hates me and he’s convinced that we can move past it, but I’m not so sure that we can.

I could not believe that little weasel loved this . You could sue Lady Stark and the paper for libel, unless, of course it’s true. Was Eric the best sex of your life? Ah, what have you Here I am representing my brother Brady Black. And what about Eric? What about Eric? Uh, can I have a word in private? Can this waits counselor will be in the courtroom soon enough?

Uh, listen, I just wanted to let you know that I am requesting reasonable bail for Brady, and before you interject, he’s not a flight risk and he is not a threat to the community. I think s Steph and Damir would beg to differ with that last. Oh, come on. We both know why Brady did what he did, and the circumstances have changed.

Now the motive doesn’t apply. So please, I’m, I’m just hoping you’re not gonna oppose this release, and I did notice that your complaint doesn’t include a victim statement. Is there a reason you haven’t interviewed Stephanie? Well, I, I, yeah. I mean, I’m just guessing in hindsight that maybe the victim isn’t as upset as you think he is about what my client did

shall get this show on the road as they say. Yes, I agree with. A united front while also exhibiting our individual talents. And together we and Damara at large can help soo the markets. Your confidence in me, Stephanie? It, it means the well to me, especially after my little mishap. Hmm. Well, you can’t trust your own brother.

Gabby, we’re about to, uh, and quiet. Let me go first. Okay. I need to see you right now. I’m in the park office square. How soon can you get here? Uh, I’ll be right there. Okay. Good Hurry. That was Gabby Swear. Heard this room? Yes. Look, normally, you know, I would never put my personal life in front of business affairs, but given the.

Disastrous conditions of my personal life these days. I’m sure you, uh, sure you understand. Well, actually, I, I know you will represent the family well.

Oh, hey you. How’d the arraignment go? Well, I made the case to get Brady out on bail. And did the judge agree? Is Brady out?

There’s a seat taken.

Yes. Thank you. Hello, this is Le in Arian Horton’s stepfather. Right. I was trying to see if there’s anything I can do to expedite the transfer of her records. I heard there was a, oh, I see. No, no, no. Well, good then. I’m glad Will Horton was able. Settle all that before they went to New Zealand. No, I’m sorry for the confusion.

I must have misunderstood my wife. That’s all that’s. Yes, thank you, and you too.

Best sex of her life. Ugh. New.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 I don’t understand that. I thought I was gonna be c e O. I mean, sunny made it sound like it was a done deal. Sunny doesn’t get to decide, but I’m the logical choice. I took over from my brother when he was recovering from being attacked, and I did a damn good job. Uncle Vic even said so, right? Well, up until an hour ago, he was all set to hand you the job, and then he received a very unsettling call from someone.

Who changed his mind? What are you talking about? Who the hell is it? Leo Stark.

Ah, Gwenny. Is this a dream come true or what? Our first issue coming out tomorrow. I am Piloxing and call me over Confident, but I believe that my Lady Whistleblower column where we come, the talk of the town, in no time you think, did I ever tell you that Lady Whistleblower was my nickname in. Although that had nothing to do with gossip or whistles.

QUni, did you hear what I said? He has something about you being a whore at University of something. Well, yeah, I was the gist of it. But I need your full attention and I could tell you’re still thinking about Xanders Twist. You’re so frustrating. You know, because what’s it. What does it mean? Him wanting to define our relationship?

Not now, but after his, his divorce is through. It means that you have to find a way to live in the moment. What if that’s just an excuse? What if his heart will always belong to Sarah? I guarantee you he will come to his senses any minute. Now he’s gonna come walking through that door to declare his luck for you.

That is probably your hot daddy right now.

Hell wrong, daddy.

I don’t understand. How could there be a problem with the divorce? I signed those papers weeks ago, as did Sarah. Exactly. Shouldn’t it have processed by now? Yes, but things didn’t go exactly as planned. Now there’s an issue. Are you telling me that you and Sarah are still very much husband and wife?

You’re you’re pregnant? Yeah. I, um, I wasn’t feeling well, so I had some blood work done and the results just came back in and yeah, I. Um, with child, oh my God. Uh, this, this is amazing. We’re, we’re ha we’re having a baby. We’re having a baby.

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

Leo Stark is a worthless, conniving, little troll. No arguments here. I mean, why would Uncle Victor ever listen to a word he says, let alone anybody what is it? Because he got a new little media platform, his sleazy gossip column for the Spectator. You guessed it. He called your uncle to comment on a story that he’s running about you tomorrow.

He regaled your uncle with this lurid tale about you having a threesome with two bisexual women. So what we’re all consenting adults. Leo is also alleging that, um, your affair with Allie Horton destroyed her relationship with Chanel Dupree. It wasn’t an affair, it was a drunken one night mistake. No. Is that supposed to make you seem more stable?

Is this serious right now? Who cares about my sex? I could have sex with half of Salem, it would have no bearing on my ability to be a successful c e O. It’s the optics of it. Optics, yes. In this climate, one might read your actions as misogynistic. Oh my. Come on. Nobody loves women more than I do. Okay. It’s your personal life as a liability.

Alex and your uncle is not willing to take that risk. This is wrong. I’m sorry.

Sure. Well then who is it? You said he picked another Kariya soul. Which one is it? How could Sarah and I still be married, aren’t you? Wait, who? Sarah changed her mind. Is she having second thoughts about ending our marriage? As far as I know, Sarah’s been steadfast in her decision to dump you, but then. Why is there a hold up in the divorce?

Me, Sarah and I both did what we needed to do. Why are we still married? . Oh my god. I mean this, my God, a baby. I mean, they, heck, you know that the timing, this couldn’t be anymore Perfect. I, I was just having a conversation with Emily about this last night and she, she kept going on and on about how she wanted a little brother, a little sister, and, you know, I didn’t wanna get her hopes up, at least not, you know, in the near future anyway.

And,

You know, I’m happy.

I mean, is it, is it because you don’t want to be committed to me, and this could change things for us, right? I mean, us having a baby together, we’re not,

we’re not having a baby. Um, I am pregnant, but not with your child. It’s not yours.

Oh, Julie, when did you get back on your cruise? . Oh, just now. Aww. Uh, Doug’s upstairs unpacking and, uh, aloha. Hello? Ha . I thought I would just peruse the spectator and see what I had missed while we were away. You missed quite a bit, so it seems, imagine my surprise when I saw your husband’s farewell article.

You have handed the newspaper over to Zander and Gwen. We did come see. Well then. I guess my next question has to be, have you lost your mind? Keys to the spectator main door editor’s desk printing room. Finally, we have to prep our entire first issue from home. Dear, what, normally, I don’t mind working remotely in my PJ’s, but as you can tell, things will cramped in these parts.

I see. I assume there is room for me to have my own office complete with an ergonomic chair and my own cappuccino. You can’t possibly think I care about anything you just said. I’m just trying to make polite conversation. You’ve handed over the keys. You can leave anytime you like. I leave that, but I speak to Gwen, my daughter and I have some unfinished business.

I think you’re gonna enjoy working under the new person that your Uncle Vic has chosen to be. C e o. Please do not tell me it’s Joseph or. I love my brothers to death, but that was pretty much a multi-car pile up in Arizona. I can’t stomach reporting to either of them. It’s not the twins, is it my dad? No.

And much to your uncle And my dismay. Justin’s desire to run the company fizzled out years ago. He apparently likes being a lawyer. Uh, go figure. Yeah, I, I, I don’t, I don’t understand. I don’t get it. Uh, who’s left? . Oh my God. Please do not tell me that Uncle Victor rehired. Xander. I realized this morning that I hadn’t received the final decree on your divorce from the court, so I checked in and lo and behold, the courts had no record of it.

What. How is that possible? Well, apparently one of the clerks misplaced the paperwork and it never got filed. It’s the first time in all my years that I remember this happening. So what do we do now? Well, I printed the papers once again, and so if you and Sarah just sign these, I will personally make sure that the paperwork is properly process.

And then, and then my marriage will officially be over.

So the, the baby is, the baby’s not mine.

You and I slept together the night before Valentine’s Day, and according to the tests I am. Further along than that. So the timing doesn’t work.

I guess I just, I just assumed that I’m idiot. Just rattling on and on, like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You are not an idiot. You got carried away. Yeah, . That’s because I did.

If I’m not the father, does that mean

it does

Xander’s the father, I’m pregnant with his baby.

The last I heard. Jack had disowned Gwen because she refused to testify against Xander. Well, yes, that’s true. And, but he did end his friendship with Xander. Okay. Okay. Is handing him off the spectator supposed to be a farewell gift. I mean, what? Well, why, why is he rewarding with Unhand and punishing with the other?

You don’t understand. He, he didn’t have a choice. What do you. I, I mean that Xandra and Gwen blackmailed him into turning over the paper. I don’t see how that’s possible.

Oh my God. This is about you running down Gwen, with your car, isn’t it?

So what is. Unfinished business that you speak of, we have between us. Then you can run the paper now any way you wish. You are the freedom. Just like I did. Just know that Jennifer and I spent decades building trust for the public. I would hate to see that all wasted by turning the paper into a cheap tabloid.

Oh please, everybody knows tabloid cell. Nobody was reading your stuffy old newspaper. Oops.

I will do my best to live up to the standard that you and Jennifer said, and not because you just asked me, but because I believe in it too. I’m glad to hear that, and despite everything, there is a part of me that is grateful. Still my children is looking after something that has meant so much to me. You disowned her, Jack.

You don’t get to play daddy now. She is still my daughter,

I promise. I will take good care of the paper.

Ah, very well. I suppose we should let you know,

Jennifer and I are both leaving town tonight

and you’re sure that the baby is, and. So many men, do you think I’ve suffered with ? I didn’t. I didn’t mean it like that. I, I guess I’m just surprised you how long as the two of you have been broken up for a while. Yeah. Apparently one of the last times we were together, we conceived a baby. He’s probably celebrating his fake job at the redneck corporation’s.

What do know.

I, I don’t know. I mean, obviously I wasn’t expecting this when I signed those divorce papers. I thought that Xander would be out of my life forever, and this was supposed to be a fresh start. Well, um, if it’s a fresh start, you’re looking for. I think I might have one for you. What are you talking about?

It’s actually the reason I came to see you in the first place. There is a job opening at my hospital in Chicago. I thought you’d be perfect for it. So I talked to you after the chief of staff. You did? Mm-hmm. . And the job is yours. If you want it, you’re.

Sarah hasn’t signed yet. No, she doesn’t know about the paperwork issue. I came to you first. Okay. I’ll, um, I’ll let you know once I signed. Why don’t you just sign them right now while I’m here? Oh, I, I just wanted to look them over. You always taught me never sign anything unless I fully vetted it first.

So, uh, yeah, I’ll spend some time with these and get back to you. Bye. Sit yourself.

Look, I know Xander used to be in charge, but that was a disaster, was it not? I mean, the guy is a loser. I you, nobody else will even hire him. The last company he worked for, he like made up himself. Do you wanna talk about optics? Calm down. It’s not z. But who is it? Um, Brady, Sean, Sierra. It’s not any of those people you would’ve forgotten.

A very important member of this family. Who else is there? Me.

You gonna be CEO, won? Come on, be. Oh no. And why can’t I be? What experience do you have running a business? Well, I have owned several very successful restaurants over the years. Tuscany, she rouge. Yeah. Running a restaurant is a little bit different than running a multinational corporation. I understand that.

But I’ve also been married to your uncle for over a decade. and you don’t think I picked up a thing or two. Now I know I have a lot to learn, but that’s where you come in. Me. Mm-hmm. , I’m hoping you’re gonna be my number two in command to bring me up to speed to offer counsel whenever needed. I hope you are interested.

You knew about the accident. She threw it in my face last Christmas Eve. We were having an argument about her figgy pudding and she said, I should be respecting her because she’s the person who kept you out of prison. She told you all that on Christmas Eve? Oh, I didn’t believe it at first. Of course. Then I remember that you had been taking pills and driving.

It just fell into place. You never said anything to me, darling. I knew you would come to me if you needed to. Oh, sweetheart. It must have been just terrible for you. I didn’t remember it after it happened, but when I did, the guilt was over. I offered to turn myself in, Jack. He wouldn’t hear of it. Well, it, it’s not as though you did it on purpose, did you?

No. No, of course not. So Glenn is just patting herself on the back for not blackmailing you. Then she turns around and forces you to give. Beloved paper. Well, I guess it was just a matter of time. Hmm.

I won’t stand for it. She’s not getting away with it. Where, where are you? Where are you going? Oh, I’m gonna find Gwen, get in my car and finish the job.

You and Jennifer, you are headed back to Boston tonight. We still have another paper to run.

Yeah, of course. Well, in that case, I’m sorry that things ended up this way. So am I. You made your choices and I made mine, and now we have to find a way to live with them. I dunno what else to do. You gave me an ultimatum. And you decided that your loyalty to Zander was more important than your loyalty to me.

Hang on now. That is not fair. Maybe not. And maybe Gwen did make the right choice the very least. It finally put an end to the horrible cycle of me being disappointed in her and her being disappointed in.

We can’t be disappointed in each other if we’re nodding each other’s lives. Right. Right.

I just, I want you to know, I love that you came into my life. I. I love you. I always will love you. I just hope it’ll be easier for us to love each other with a little distance between us.

I hope so too, and I hope that you find the love that you,

the happiness that you always wanted, I said, certainly mean that.

I love you too.

No, you’re. It sounds like the perfect job for me. Right. And the salary is more than what I’m making here. Mm-hmm. . So is that a yes? I just, I don’t want you to get the wrong idea What? That You’ll move back to Chicago and we’ll suddenly become a couple again. I saw how excited you got when you thought we were having a baby.

Look, I get it. You’re not looking for a relationship right. . Totally understand. I just put in this good word for you cuz I thought it would be a great opportunity. Well, I believe you and I, I do appreciate you recommending me. It’s just, wow, things are complicated now. Right. So you and Xander are obviously not a couple anymore, but I’m assuming that he’s gonna want to be a part of his child’s life.

So does that mean. Staying here in sound. I mean, how you gonna break the news to him that you’re having his baby?

Hello, sir.

Yeah. Well, auntie Maggie suggested that I call you Uncle Vic to confirm with you that I heard this news correctly. Yeah, right. Well, obviously I’m a little disappointed, but, okay. Okay. Alright. Yeah, you don’t need to raise your voice. I hear you fine. Yes, I understand why you didn’t choose me to take over right.

Now. I get it. Okay. Yes, I will. Yes, I will. Yeah, I will give Maggie your love. I will Uncle Vic have a safe trip back. All right. Okay. Take care. He sends his love. So I gathered. Well, now that you’ve heard the news from your uncle, I was, I’m hoping that it’ll be a little easier to accept or maybe not.

Auntie Mag, I love you and I think you are an amazing person. What.

Nevermind. No, go ahead. Say what you want me to say. No, it’s just that you hunt Maggie. You bake lemon bars, you collect porcelain figurines, you volunteer at hospitals, and a, all of those things are very important and special, but none of which have anything in common with being a titan of industry. Alex May not have occurred to you, but I have defined people’s expectations my entire life.

Do you know where I spent my childhood? No. I grew up on a small farm in Brookville, and when my parents passed away, I was pretty young. Everyone said I should sell the farm, but I, I refused because it was our family’s legacy. I had no idea what I was gonna do at first when I stuck. And it turned out to be a success, so that’s why I believe, no, actually I know that if I put my mind to it, I can be a very successful c e o.

Richard said I, I have great instincts.

Do you have killer instincts? Well, how is this for killer instincts? You’re fired.

Yes. You are not going after Gwen. Why not? Somebody has to teach her a lesson. It’s not worth going to prison over. Look, Julie, I love that you wanna help us and I hate that we have to give Gwen the paper, but. Jack and I have decided to cut our losses and move on.

You know, this is all Jack’s fault. None of this would’ve happened if he just kept it in his pants. Oh, Julie, how I’ve missed you.

Something wonky with your food. Ooh, if we find a hair in here, we can get the home meal for free.

I’m worried. I’ve made a huge mistake. I told you to go with the fish. No, I’m, I’m talking about this whole situation there. What I father said he was right. I chose Zander over him and, and for. I mean, I, I don’t even know where we stand with each other. Hey, like I said earlier, that big lug loves you. I’m certain of it that makes one of us, Sonny have faith.

You and Sandy will be together as soon as those divorce papers come through. It should be any day now. I wouldn’t count.

What are you doing here? Well, I needed to talk to you about something and I know his named Amko said that you’re in this room. I see. Am I interrupting something? I, I was consulting Rex on a case. Don’t you have a moment to chat alone? It’s uh, it’s quite important. Yeah. We’re kind of in the middle of something right now, so it’s okay.

Rex. We’ll talk later. You sure? Yeah.

I’ll, um, I’ll be outside if you need me.

Listen, I, I know that things got heated between us earlier and I, I just try, I don’t feel like fighting. I don’t wanna fight. That’s not why I’m here. Why are you here? Justin came to see me after you left, said our divorce didn’t go through. No, I filed the papers weeks ago. Oh no. Yeah, I guess some clumsy clerk lost them.

Fair? Not Justin printed out more. Oh, okay. Before we sign them out. I wanted to ask you something. What is it? Is this really truly what you want? We’ve been over this. Oh, I know. I know. I don’t, I wasn’t thinking of revisiting it either, but I mean now it just feels like, I don’t know, maybe a little sign from the universe that maybe we should give our manager another.

What’d you think?

You’re firing me af after all that, what? What happened to me? Teaching you more about the business? What happened? Relax, Alex. I was kidding. . You were kidding. It was a joke. and a pretty good one too. You should have seen the look on your face. It was priceless. . Haha. Ah. Oh. Lighten up. Will you? Mm mm . Oh, this is just, this is just really unexpected.

Yeah, I know. Mm. I realized that, but it’s okay. Mm. I know. I’m not your conventional. You have doubts and you won’t be the only one, but, but this is my family too, and I’m prepared to do whatever it takes to keep Titan on top. Yeah. Yeah. And auntie, I know how smart you are. You are. You’re a smart woman, truly.

But what are you gonna do when you gotta go up against something or somebody? Ruthless. Like a, like an EJ damara. Well, we’ll find out, won’t we? Alex? Listen, I’ve heard your concerns. I hope I’ve addressed them to your satisfaction, but we really do need to move on. There’s lots to be done and I need to know that I have the support of my right hand man.

So, are you on board or not?

So how’d it go with Gwen? I, I gave her the keys to the spectator and advice on how to run it. I’m sure that went over well, actually, she was surprisingly receptive. Oh, Jack. She’s playing some sort of an. I don’t know. Maybe, maybe not. She was experiencing some sentiment. I told her that, that Jennifer and I are leaving town tonight.

So soon. I hope you’d stay a little longer. No, we wish that we could, but we have to get back to Boston. There’s a little local paper that is counting on us to help ’em out, but you will be visiting. Soon, please. Of course. Of course he will

Tell Jack in your absence. I will keep my eye on that. Daughter of yours, I expect nothing less. Mm. If she does anything to hurt anybody, I love, she’ll answer to me. Jack. So you are telling me that some twit at the courthouse lost Xander’s divorce papers. Mm-hmm. , he and Sarah will have to refile them. No biggie.

I’m sure this happens all the time. Honestly, I have never seen this happen in all my years, but still I’m sure ts you enough problem to fix. Zandy and Sarah will be divorced in no time. Assuming they don’t change their minds. Okay, counselor, you’re really not helping here. Why wouldn’t they change their.

You’ll have to ask them, but when I stopped by to have Xander sign the new papers, he seemed a little hesitant. Hesitant. You said he wanted to read them over before he’s signing them, but aren’t they? He’s happy. The same as before. They are, which is why I had the distinct feeling he was stalling. Anyway, nice catching up.

Have a lovely evening.

Since when did you start believing in fate and signs from the universe? Oh, I don’t generally, mate. Even Justin said he’s never seen divorce papers go missing like that before. How do I know it wasn’t you? Sarah, this isn’t a scam, but believe me, I was. I was ready to try and move on, but, and now it just feels like we’re given an opportunity to rethink our decision.

My decision. Yes. Well, maybe for some reason that’s bigger than both of us. We’re, they were supposed to stay together. You Right.

Maybe the universe is sending us a message. Do you really believe that?

You could say that? I, I got one right before you walked in. Really? What was it?

Rex recommended me for a job at his hospital in Chicago.

I decided I’m gonna take it.

It’s off in Chicago, so it, it seems that the universe is sending. Us a message and telling us that we did the right thing. It’s going our separate ways.

You actually leaving Salem?

Yeah, I just, I think it’s um, s for everybody involved.

Just hand me those.

I will, uh, I will, I’ll make sure that these get filed properly before I leave.

Glass post is goodbye.

Okay. I guess so.

Sarah, we,

we did have a good runway that lasted, didn’t we?

Yeah, we did.

Good luck in Chicago.

And one sparkling cider for our new c e o. Thank you, Alex. Thank you for agreeing to be my second in command.

Oh, am I arriving just in time to celebrate my son’s new job as c e o. Actually, dad, I didn’t get it. What? Uncle Victor chose somebody. Take over the new position. Who?

Maggie Horton. Kikis, c e o,

the suite of Doug and Julie to give us their lays. Yes. Uh, I don’t know what it represents. Boston and March and all. But, uh, like Julie said, maybe it’s our turn for a little adventure. I know it can’t be easy leaving under these circumstances with the way things are with Glen on the Spectator, I am living with you.

That’s what matters. I love you, Jennifer. I love you too.

We’ll come back here Sunday soon. You welcome will. After all this will always be our home.

Do you think Justin’s right? Do you think son is really having second thoughts about divorcing Sarah? There’s only one way to find out, hey lover. Get your fine ass over here.

What’s going on? Well, you tell us. You heard about the little ssoo down at the courthouse. Oh, you heard about that? Mm-hmm. . Yeah, we did. So what’s the deal? Why haven’t you signed the new papers? It was a matter of fact. I just did. Did you? I did. So did Sarah right in front of me. Okay. Well good. Good cuz I’m tired of you playing games with Gwen’s heart.

What? You shouldn’t have to constantly worry that he’s gonna go back to his ex. That’s not gonna happen. Especially now that Sarah’s leaving time for X bro. Do you cheers? So divorce is finalized. Any connection Sarah and I ever have will be gone for good.

So you’re taking the job. Yeah. And you didn’t tell Xander about the baby? No. No. It’s just a full complication. I just do not need right now out. Look, I’m no fan of Xanders, but are you? About this. I mean, Mimi tried to keep Emily a secret from me, and you saw that turned out and I made a huge, huge mess when I did the same thing to Eric.

Um,

I know what I wanna do about the baby, you know, this gives me. An opportunity to think about it without Xander breathing down my neck. Okay, I understand. How did it come to this? A few months ago, he and I were married and happy and in love, and now

I’m leaving town all by myself. He doesn’t know that I’m pregnant with his baby.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Nine 50. Alright, I’m coming. Get your pants on.

Well, by all means, come in. How could you do this? Perhaps you give you more specific. Don’t play dumb with me. You knew exactly what you did and I am not going to let you get away with this time.

Funk could be a bit bigger. Here she is hot off the press. And by press I mean the printer downstairs. Can you say ancient? It took forever to print one page, but she is so worth doing. What’s this? The first lady? Come again. The premier edition of Lady Whistleblower’s Gossip column. You realize you could have just emailed me.

I could have yes, but I wanted to see the look on your face while you take in my literary prowess. Read it and gag. One highly placed source tells Lady w Sunny Kakkis contracted scabies following a raging gay Ory attended by his own father

again. And how was Henry on the flight? Hello, trooper. Hey, um, uh, Chad just got here, will, so I’m gonna call you back. I’ll see you tomorrow. I love you. Bye. Hey. Oh, I got your text. What’s up? Yeah, uh, I have some news. Ooh, that’s good news, I hope. Yes, definitely. Uh, will and I were not. Gonna be doing the long distance thing anymore.

Yeah, yeah. Hey, congrats. I know, uh, I know how hard that was for you guys. So what is will gonna be, uh, here working remotely then? Uh, no, he’s, he’s still gonna be traveling and, um, I’m gonna be traveling until kind of, Extended trip. Well, what does that mean, Chad? I’m leaving Salem.

Jackson. Kikis, c e o.

Not anymore.

I am gonna miss you, bro, but I could get used to this.

Someone’s getting comfortable. Stephanie. Hey, I didn’t see you come in too busy trying out the Iron Throne. You could say that. Yeah. Grace . So it’s true. son. He resigned from Titan. Yeah, he’s moving to New Zealand with Will and Allie and Henry. Wow. So I guess things are gonna be different around here for sure.

And for starters, you’re gonna be stuck with me.

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

That was fast. Sunny hasn’t even left town yet. And your uncle already named you c e o? Well, it hasn’t been announced officially yet, but I’m the obvious choice. Why is that? Well, for starters, the whole reason why I came back to town was to help out Titan specifically to help out Sunny boy. How so? Look, I love my brother, but he isn’t exactly a killer.

That’s where I come in. There were times where I just had to give him a little extra support. So he benefited from your expertise? Exactly. And then when I covered for him after he was attacked by Clyde West, and that’s when I really got to show my stuff. You know the Kiki Drive, the Thes business acumen, though.

The Kriyas ego. Careful. Ms. Johnson, you are talking to your new boss. I am my own boss, Alex will. You’d be smart to remember that

Titan cuts you some pretty large checks. You’d be smart to remember that. Checks Sunny’s been signing. Sunny’s gone. You just said Victor hasn’t decided who’s taking over for him yet. I said it hasn’t been announced officially. Okay, so if you’re name’s CEO e o, then yes, you’ll be in charge of one of my clients signing some of my, when I’m named C e o, I’ll be in charge of your biggest client.

Cutting you your biggest checks. Alex, I’m not denying that Titan is great business for SJ p r. Well, good. Now, will that still be the same when Uncle Vic announces that I’ll be taking over for Sonny? What do you mean? I mean, are you gonna be. Working as closely with me as he did with my brother.

Well, what do you think? Oh God. It just keeps getting worse. I know, right. Wait, what are you doing? I wanted to save that for posterity. I can’t print this. What? Why? Because it’s not true. The truth is, so 2015, I’m sorry, Mattie Guinevere, the spectator is a snooze. It needs life energy buzz. I was giving that to you.

Item by juicy item. Guess in each one of those items is a liable suit waiting to happen. Oh, Jackson is not going to sue. Right? Cuz the Kes don’t have their own army of lawyers or. I am not loving this new professional you. She’s less three sheets to the wind, more wet blanket. Look darling, I know that son hurt you, but you cannot use your poem through exact revenge.

But I worked so hard on that. Do you know how long it took me to come up with scabies? I applaud your creativity. I do. But this is a n. And we have standards to uphold standards that were set by my father and my late sister. I am very determined to prove I am every bit as good of an editor as same one.

Geez, I had no idea you were so serious about. Maintaining these lofty journalistic principles. See anything about principles you did Gwyneth Pulitzer. Ah, now don’t you misunderstand me. I am fine with you going after every pious Salem that you want, but you have to write the truth, not something that’s made up.

Great. So what do I do now? You go out there and you get me some dirt. I can actually run. Go on chop. We’ve got a deadline. Thank you. Bar.

Look, if this is gonna be another lecture about me kidnapping, Bonnie and Susan are sleeping with Gwen. You can just, I ain’t come here to talk to you about that. Then why are you, Sarah made it very clear that we have nothing to discuss ever. There wasn’t. That’s how I heard about your latest stunt. So I heard on this time to deserve your righteous indignation.

You stole the spectator from Jack and Jennifer. You son of a bitch,

Maggie. Hi, uh, Henderson. Let me in. Sarah here. Um, I’m afraid not. Oh, well I need to, um, I need to speak with her. It’s kind of important. What a coincidence, because there is something very important that I’d like to discuss with you. Yeah, yeah, sure. What is it? Well, for starters, how about the fact that you’re sleeping with my daughter?

You’re moving to New Zealand? Yeah. You know that Will’s new project is out there and he’s, he’s really excited about it and I just, I want to be there to support him. What about Ari? Just come with us. I mean, Gabby wasn’t thrilled about the idea, but. She realized Ari wanted to come with us, so she’s gonna visit us there and, and we’ll come visit here and, and Allie’s gonna come with us too.

Her and Chanel just broke up, you know, she has a lot of changes going on and Henry’s so young. I know this is a lot. I’m just dropping on your lap at once. Jenna, I’m, I’m, I’m really sorry. Don’t. Don’t be. I think this is gonna be really good for everyone, especially for you. And Will, I’m happy for you, for all of you.

Thank you. When you leave, I am, uh, I’m going straight to the airport from here. What? That soon? Yeah. No, I, I mean, I, I would’ve left with everyone else, but I had some, uh, loose ends. Tie up the titan. How did Victor take exactly how you would, uh, you’d think he would like trash will and then screamed a bunch of curse words.

Pretty much. Yeah, pretty much. But you know what? He’ll get over it. And it’s not like I’m leaving in the lurch. You know, Alex has been dying to be c e o of Titan ever since Uganda into.

Okay with Alex step for you. I guess that means, uh, Stephanie’s gonna be reporting directly to him.

We’re both adults. Alex, I don’t foresee any problem with us working together, especially since we’re no longer romantically involved, but if you do. No, of course not. I mean, we both want the same thing, right? For Titan to thrive. Absolutely. So as long as we keep that in mind, stay focused, mutually respectful, mindful of each other’s.

Boundaries and we should get along just fine.

Wish I got it? Sure, why not?

I take it. Sarah told you about what happened between us. No, Henderson did. He saw you leaving Sarah’s bedroom the other day? , yeah. Ah, okay. Henderson. Yeah. Should have known that he would spread the word Rex. Sarah’s going through a divorce. She’s very vulnerable. Good. And, and I, I would never take advantage of that, Maggie.

I promise you. I have no intention of ever hurting Sarah again. Well then what exactly are your intentions for my daughter?

Didn’t realize you had such strong opinions about the fourth estate. I have very strong opinions about you stealing from my family. I’m not sure what you mean. I’ve read Jack’s farewell editorial. It says that he and Jennifer are giving you and Gwen the paper with her as editor-in-chief. Is that a problem?

Yeah, there’s a huge problem because there is no. that they would ever do that by choice. Why not? They was planned on giving the paper to one of their. Navil. God rest her soul’s no longer with us. JJ J’s not interested. So Gwen is the obvious choice. She hears Jack’s daughter too. You know Gwen is nothing but an evil bitch who has only ever brought misery to me and my family.

Right? Think about all of the lies. She’s turned upside down. Now all you Hortons were perfect saints until Gwen Rusche came long. Huh? I just save it. I called Jennifer. I told her that I didn’t believe any of this time for change nonsense, and I wanted to know the real reason that she gave up the. And what did you or do your cousin have to say?

She said she couldn’t get into it, but I had the very distinct impression that it was a decision made under duress. So is this how your twisted little partnership with Gwen works? She covers for you when you commit felonies and you help her find new ways to hurt Jack? Jack made a choice. Oh my God, do you really expect me to believe that this is what he.

That he chose of his own free will to hand over the reins to one of the most revived women in Salem who has exactly zero journalism experience. Explain this, your explanation is bull. What did you do, Xander? How did you force my cousins to hand over the paper that they put their blood, sweat, and tears into for 30 years?

Sarah? No. Answer me now. Fine. I’ll tell you, I blackmailed Jack and Jennifer into signing over the Spectator, and it’s all your bloody fault,

Chad. I’m telling you, there’s nothing to worry about. Okay. Alex and Stephanie are over. Yeah, I know. I know. Well then why do you seem so disappointed that the two of them are gonna be working so closely together? I wouldn’t say disappointed. I wouldn’t, I wouldn’t use disappointment. Okay. , well then what is it?

It’s just that, you know, Stephanie forgave him Right. For, for turning off her phone the night kill died. So, you know, they’re on decent terms now. Okay, great. And that’s, that’s so great of Stephanie to do that. She was big. To forgive Alex, but I’m telling you, they’re not getting back together. I mean, from what you’ve told me, you’re the one that Stephanie wants to be with.

Yeah. No, that’s true. And then what are you feeling insecure about?

It’s just, I really like her. My kids really like her. That’s shocking to hear, son. I never thought I’d feel this way again.

Stephanie showed me that it, that, that it was possible that you could start over after such a horrifying loss, moss.

And, um, and I don’t know, maybe it’s because the horrifying loss that I’m just, I’m, I’m a little bit desperate. To, to not lose her. That makes sense. I mean, you went through a terrible traumatic loss. Yeah.

On a lighter note though, I am, uh, I’m very grateful that she is in my. And in my kids’ lives, I’m a lucky man.

Greetings party people. How the hell did you get in here Stark? Um, the door was open. Oh, that’s unfortunate. If you’re looking for sunny, I’m not. You’re the riyas. I’m after. Excuse me. How spare me the macho posturing for your girlfriend. I know you’re hopelessly hetero. I’m not his girlfriend. We work together.

Oh, you hold hands with all of your colleagues. Honey, who? I’m here in my official capacity as Lady Whistleblower. Lady Who? Whistleblower. It’s my Nam de plume. Oh. Are you a writer or No, not just any writer Sweet cheeks. You are looking at the new gossip columnist for the Spectator. Great. And what does Lady Whistle whatever have to do with me blower.

And I thought you’d never ask. So tell me, is it true that you had your paid pack abs broke up, Salem’s favorite bisexual bakers?

How is it my fault that you are blackmailing Jack and Jennifer? Because I wasn’t gonna do it. I all change your heart and then I saw you without Cretin Rex Brady, and you just couldn’t help it. rub. The fact that he had sex with him all in my face. Oh, just like you did, was sleeping with Gwen. Oh, I didn’t.

And that was different. How? Because No, stop. I do not care about your convoluted Neanderthal logic. I just wanna know how you and Gwen forced Jack and Jennifer to give up the spectator. No information is on a need to know that. I, I hope to know now. No can, I’m afraid.

Jack is your best friend. He’s Gwen’s father. How, how could you two do that to him? He makes me sick.

So

Maggie, I assure you what happened between Sarah and me. It was a one time. . In fact, she was very clear about not wanting to jump into a relationship with anybody right now. All right. We’re just friends. Okay. And you can accept that? Of course I can. I see. Well, so if you didn’t come back here to pick up where you left off with my daughter, why do you need to see her so urgently?

I’m heading back to Chicago, and then you came to say, No, I want Sarah to come with me.

So you and Sarah aren’t getting back together, but you want her to move away with you? Well, I mean, not. With me, but yes to the same city . Look, I want Sarah to work at my hospital. We have state-of-the-art equipment and facilities and technology, and we have access to the latest medical research and to attract the best doctors.

We pay well, very well, and I think it would be a great opportunity. . I see. Well, that’s very kind of you to extend yourself this way. I’m, I’m extending myself from my hospital. I think she would be a tremendous asset to our surgical staff, and I think it’d be really good for her given everything she’s been through.

You look skeptical. Hmm. Well, I just. I hate to think of her leaving. Mm-hmm. again, but my daughter, she’s a grown woman. She makes her own decisions, and I just pray that she tunes out the noise and listens to her gut.

Sarah, I are you all right in there?

I’m. It must have been something I ate. Can I get you some water or some ginger or something? Oh, I said I’m fine. I just wanna know what you’re holding over. Jack and Jennifer, Sarah, I sincerely doubt that they would want me to share that information with you or anyone else.

I cannot believe that. I actually thought you changed.

I’m fool. You are just the same low-life thugs you’ve always been. I am so glad that I signed those divorce papers so that I don’t have to sit here and listen to my husband rattle off another round of excuses about why he committed yet another crime against the people I. Sarah, can you just No,

I’m done.

Goodbye.

I hope you and going enjoy your stolen paper.

I am gonna miss this. Hang with my best friend, having a beer. Gonna miss it too. Hey, hey. Hello boys. So what are we drinking? Don’t worry, I already ordered you one. That’s my son. Always thinking about everyone else except this, uh, whole leaving Salem and moving halfway across the world thing that is incredibly selfish.

Selfish as hell. Okay, come on guys. It’s not that far. Okay. Yes, it’s, it’s, it’s pretty far, but you know, now, come on. You can come visit me anytime. Well, Bonnie and I will definitely do that. In fact, she just told me that she wants to. Kick it with the Kiwis. Ooh, I’m down for that. . Yeah, I was, I was just telling Chad how bad I feel.

Just dumping this on everyone out of the ball. I got some. And as much as I will miss seeing you every day, I’m thrilled that you and Will are going to be reunited. Yeah, me too. It’s, um, it’s been pretty rough being a part. Mm-hmm. for a minute there. I. Thought that Snake Leo Stark would get his fangs into you again, but we don’t have to worry about him anymore.

Leo is someone else’s problem.

It’s a simple question. Did you or did you not bust up Shalley? Yeah, I don’t know where you’re getting your information, but you’re way off base. sucking lemons and other things with one Alice Caroline Horton at a local bar before stumbling back to her place for night of raunchy sex. You and Allie, it’s not how he’s making it sound.

Are you telling me that Allie’s former live-in lover Chanel Dpri didn’t show up unexpectedly at the SAF sanctuary? They one shared to find the two of you in the throws of passion. Chanel caught you. She showed up the next. Sounds like confirmation to me. That’s not confirmation. Leo. I didn’t confirm anything.

No comment. Too late. So tell me how awkward was it for Chanel when she found the two of you together? Maybe not at all, considering that you’d already had a threesome with her and Ellie. A threesome. That’s it.

You want to comment? Leo, here’s one. Take your whistle and shove it up. Your blower.

Ugh. Look what you did. You’re lucky I didn’t do it to your face. You’re lucky I have a memory, like a steel trap among many other fine attributes. Leo, get the hell outta here before I actually lose it, okay? Okay. But be sure to pick up a copy of Tomorrow’s Spectator. I hear it’s going to be a must read.

About what he just said. Um, you do not have to explain. Your personal life is none of my business. Yeah, but the way he just made that whole thing sound, Steph, he made it sound a lot more salacious than what it actually was. Alex, really say no more. You, Allie and Chanel are all consenting adults. What you do with them has nothing to do with me.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have more work to do before calling in.

How’s it going, partner? It’s uh, it’s going. Um, I just thought I’d stop by, see if you have any last minute concerns about the paper. I mean, can you believe it? We’re actually gonna put our first issue of the spectator out. We did it, Sandra. We’re, we’re actually running a newspaper.

We don’t seem very excited. Is, um, is everything all right? Sarah just left. Oh, did she have to scold you about this time then blackmailing the paper away from Jack and Jennifer? How did you find out? No, no. She just, she just didn’t believe that her cousins would willingly give us the paper. So she asked Jennifer why they really did it.

Jennifer told her, no, no, no. Thank God she kept a trap shut. She was smart enough to do that, but Sarah came here to get it out of me. You didn’t, she’s relentless when I said No, no, no. I, I didn’t tell her. I just told her that we blackmailed them. I didn’t say with what?

Well, I will bet that Little Miss Perfect won’t be some bloody sanctimonious if she found out that her cousin was the one who move me over when she was high on painkillers.

Sorry, I shouldn’t speak Sarah. Love Sarah. Especially when it’s obvious for the look on your face that you were still in love with her.

Dr. Horton, are you okay? You look a little green around the gills. Yeah, I’m fine. Um, it’s just a touch of food poisoning I think. Are you sure that’s all it?

I guess we’ll have to figure out the time difference with New Zealand so we know when to call you. I’ve already committed it to memory. Okay, so New Zealand is 17 hours ahead, which means if it is 9:00 AM here, It is 4:00 AM there. So then don’t call at 9:00 AM No, do never call . Hey big bro over here.

There he is

not. This is family only. Come on. Okay. Chad is family. So can we just play nice please? Yeah, sure. No problem, Alex. Tough day. No, papa. It’s all good. So New Zealand, huh? It’s a pretty radical move. Yeah. You should come visit. That is, I mean, if you have any time off being the CEO of Titan, it’s a stressful job and big bro.

I think you’re gonna kill him. You think so? Yeah. You were born to be a ceo E o. It’s true of all my sons. You are the most like Victor . He wishes, okay, Chad, what did I say? Play nice. I mean, the old man couldn’t have made a better choice. Thanks that.

I’m gonna miss you. You big dummy . I’m gonna miss you too. You big dummy. I’m be a stranger, okay? Okay. I love you. I love you too.

All right dad. See you later, Chad. See you guys.

Hey Steph. If you’re looking for Chad, he’s right over there. Hey, he made it. Yeah. I wasn’t gonna miss saying goodbye to my favorite cousin. Okay. I hate to cut this short, but I have to take care of something for a client. Of course.

Oh, I love you. I love you too. Hey, hey, look, we’re on Easter. If you and Bonnie want to come up and uh, no, kick it with the Kiwis, we will definitely see you down under. Take care, Chad. Stephanie. Take care. Yeah, see,

so I finally moved back to Kelo and now you’re leaving. Yeah. Seriously, we need to, uh, Work on our timing and you need to promise you’ll be back. Just try and stop it. I’m sure that, uh, whatever it is, is gonna pass in a minute. I don’t know. There are a ton of bugs going around. Let me go. I I’m a doctor. I know the difference between a bug and nothing and this, this is nothing.

Maybe we should let the LA run a few tests just to be safe. Yeah, I guess it, it probably couldn’t hurt.

You are, aren’t you? You are, um, still luck with Sarah. It’s complicated and confusing

and it’s just that the other night when.

We were together, you seemed to indicate that you’d prefer to be with somebody like me. You actually said we’d belong together,

but then the next morning you woke up having dreamt to Sarah, and I realized that whether your marriage may be over, it may not still be over. I said I wasn’t, I told you that I dunno if or when ever will be I, right? And then we were gonna go talk and have breakfast and figure this out, which I just assume meant figure us out.

But then we bumped into Sarah in the squares, you remember? And we didn’t get to have that conversation. So, I guess I’m just a bit unclear as to where we stand. I mean, everything that I said, I, I really do care about you a great deal. I just can’t believe everything that you sacrificed for me, and I’m so grateful for it.

I just, I am still coming to terms with the very recent end of my marriage and just don’t have any answers for you.

Of course. Yeah, I completely understand. I mean, maybe once the divorce is finalized, I can start thinking about what I want for the future, but right now I’m just not ready.

Yeah, I know. That makes absolute total sense. Yeah, I understand.

So look, until then, I think that, um, I think we ought to keep things strictly professional between us and after all, we are running a newspaper together, aren’t we? Sounds like a plan.

Right? Well, I, I best be off. I’ve got a million things that have to do before I put the spectator to bed, so. All right. Thank you. Um, so, um, do you have any, um, last minute thoughts or, I dunno, concerns about the layout on headline? Oh yeah. I mean, not that I can think of. No. Something comes up just let me know.

But otherwise I’m, I’ll see you tomorrow. Partner? Yes, tomorrow.

I owe you a huge thank you son for taking a chance on SJ p r for giving me such a huge opportunity in Titan. Are you, are you kidding me? I owe Pauline a price for bringing you to doubt. And when you come back, which we’ve established that you will, I will be saving you a seat at the bar.

I hate to interrupt, but uh, you have a plane to catch. You missed that flight then. Then my husband will kill all of us. Yeah.

Okay, we,

Hey. Ah,

I love you guys. We love you too. See you

around’s. So great, isn’t he? He’s the best.

Sucks. He’s leaving. Yeah, that’s um, It’s a big change for you, Titan. I mean, you’re, you’re gonna have a new boss. Hey. Okay. As soon as I got your text, is everything okay? Oh, everything is fine. Uh, I asked you over to discuss some business, Titan business. Of course. Oh, okay. Where’s Uncle Vic? I assume this is always taking over for Sunny, right?

Uh, it is. Uh, your uncle is out of town. He asked me to handle. Handle letting me know. He chose me to take over. I’m assuming he didn’t. He didn’t. What?

He’s giving the job to a different ke hawk,

Justin and it’s late knows. Fine. Come.

Well, uh, it’s a nice surprise favorite cousin popping by for a visit. Yes, this isn’t a social visit.

Perfect timing. I just finished my rewrite.

These sauces on. This is solid. Got it. Straight from the studs mouth. I tell you what, that man whore, Alex Kiki, is going to be the gift that keeps on giving to Lady Whistleblower. Wonderful. Pointier. I thought you would be overjoyed. We have a hit gossip column on our hands. I know. And I am Mattie. I’m really impressed.

Really? Oh, here comes the big butt and don’t you lie. No, it’s um, not about the.

You just had a chat about where we stand romantically and he doesn’t want to think about the future until his divorce is finalized, which should be soon, right? Let’s not soon enough. As far as I’m concerned,

I’m here on behalf of my. So, sir, I want you to hand deliver the decree that formally ends our marriage. Go on, hand it over. I can’t. Why not? Because there’s a problem with the divorce.

Come in.

Hey there. Thanks. How’d you know I was in here? Amigo told me. Hey, there’s, um, something important that I need to talk to you about. Yeah, me too. Okay. You first.

I am pregnant.

Days of Our Lives Transcript

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Hey, business must be, uh, booming. The line was out the door this morning. I had to get the crap copy from the cart. Sorry about that. We’re short staffed, obviously, until I can replace your. I thought you two were getting back together. Oh, you haven’t heard. I know. We broke up for good this time.

What do you mean you’re moving in? Well, you told me Allie left town and Nels living with her mother, so I did some thinking last night in jail and figured uni roommates, we need a place, works out. Perfect. This was your brother’s idea, obviously. I said we should call first, and I told Gabby we were doing you a favor.

I mean, you can’t afford this big apartment all by yourself. Actually, I’m not by myself. Trip’s moving in too.

Oh, good. I was starting to get worried when I couldn’t reach. I, I’m fine. What’s wrong? Is it Holly? She seemed pretty bummed when I left earlier. I guess her and her best friend had a tiff yesterday. Well, I’m sure they’re made up. And your dialing daughter is fine. She’s just as charming as ever. But this is a business emergency, not a personal one.

I just got the results back from the lab tech. Okay. What’d they say? It seems I was right about s. My brother has been drunking me. I got your message. It was good to hear your voice. Uh, sorry I’ve been out of touch for so long. Yeah, it has been a while. Brady said you left town. I did, but I’m back now and you’re actually the first person I wanted to see.

I’m very glad to hear that because I really want to see you too.

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

Wait, so my sister slept with Alex Kikis. Yep. And then lied to me about it, except there he. In our apartment. I found him cowering under the table when his cell phone rang. I, I, I, I, I just, I, I can’t even believe that she would do something like that. Actually, you know what? No, I can, I can believe it. I’m just, I hate that she did it to you, Chanel.

I’m really sorry. Yeah, me too. I really thought that Allie and I could trust each other, but I was obviously, So you don’t think there’s any chance at all you guys could, you know, work it out? Oh, no. Even if I wanted to. It’s kind of hard to work things out with someone when they moved all the way to New Zealand with her other brother.

What Al Allie did? What

I knew it, as you can see per the report, the drug causes the symptoms. We both experienced erratic behavior, dizziness, confusion. Damn him. So forgiving you, it was just an. Just like you suspected. Mm-hmm. , my brother may have inherited Al Dara gene, but certainly not our instincts. Okay. Well now you have proof that you’ve been drugged, but it’s only circumstantial evidence that Stefan’s behind it.

I thought of that, which is why before I got the vial tested, I had my investigated dust for Prince. He found mine and Johnny’s as expected and. Oh, brilliant. Move. Now you’ve got him dead to rice. Mm. An apt choice of words.

You look a little. Rough. Are you okay? I’m doing pretty well considering. Brady kidnapped me and tied me to his brother’s bed, like a Thanksgiving Turkey, and left me there for, come on 24 hours. What, why would Brady do that? Because Eric found a way to Spring Wolf from jail and they ordered Wolf to finish deprogramming me.

Oh my God. Yeah, except . Rolf didn’t have any equipment. So he made new equipment and it malfunctioned again, and I passed out and when I came to, commissioner Hernandez was there and he ordered me to go to the hospital. Ah, okay. That is a lot to take in, but first you need to be checked out by a doctor. I’m, I’m, I’m fine.

I, except for the constant ringing in my head, but I will go to a doctor. . Okay. But I got your message and I wanted to see

At least I thought I wanted to see you, Stephan. I can’t believe they did this to you, and neither can I, but I, I can guarantee you this, even though they didn’t finish the deprogramming, I’m not letting them anywhere near me. Again, I don’t, I don’t blame you. But listen, regardless of whether you ever get fully un brainwashed or whatever, um, I’ve had a lot of time to think when I was away, and I’m much clearer about things now.

That’s great. So am I. So listen, Chloe, can I please finish? I’m sorry. Yeah. Look, the last thing I wanna do is hurt you, especially after everything that you’ve just been through, but. You know, I’ve decided I, I cannot be with a man who loves two women.

Okay. So maybe this whole living together thing wasn’t meant to be No, no, no. We’ll figure it out. Yeah. Well while you do that, uh, I was just about to head out for some coffee at the square. Can I grab anybody? Anything? Excellent. I’ll take a decaf. Soy latte, extra shot. A little bit of coke. No, no. You don’t have to get us anything.

You don’t have to leave on their account. No, I think it’s best to give your wonderful, happy family some space to chat. Right, and, and look, just to be clear, I only offered to move in cuz you needed a roommate, but I. Stay at my dad’s smell big. No, no, no. You don’t have to be. I’ll do that soon. Trip Steve Cap, right?

Absolutely. Thank you. Thank you. Appreciate it.

Damnit, you guys, I can’t believe you. Two thought I’d just be cool with this. Not my idea, as you know. Oh, come on. This is gonna be a fine arrangement. I mean, like Trip said, we’re a wonderful, happy family. Yeah. Except for the happy part. Yeah, we’re more like a highly dysfunctional family, and let’s be honest here.

You two hate each other’s guts. That’s not true. Oh, okay. So you love Gabby and she hates your guts, which is just as bad and I don’t wanna be a part of it. Okay. I refuse to be in the middle of a war zone.

Let me guess. Chatting with a girlfriend. How’d you know? Oh, you got that goofy little grin on your face. I gotta work on that now. I was just telling her I’m headed back to Seattle. I feel bad I’m leaving so soon after the funeral. , but it’s nice knowing that you and Steph are gonna be here keeping Dad company, making sure he’s taking care of himself.

Yeah. He might just have Stephanie and actually, I’m thinking about moving out.

The contract I signed requires me to live under the same roof as your brother, but it sure as hell says nothing about the same bed. In fact, I might take the apartment on the opposite side of the building. Oh, now there’s an idea, a bad one that would not comply with the spirit of the agreement. Come on, we must share a home.

You know that, okay, fine. I can live with, I’ll keep occupying the same apartment, but the same bed, the same room, the same toothbrush holder, forget it. Well, we’ll just see how you feel about that in six months. So Jwe, I’m sure we can all peacefully coexist in the meantime, but I’m afraid your friend Tripp’s gonna have to take sofa.

Uh, no, no, no, no, no. That is not happening. Why not? Well, why are you so set on bunking with trip anyway? I thought you said you were giving things another go with Johnny. We are, but that has nothing to do with this trip, and I already made an agreement before you two showed up, and you may be my big brother and some Hot Shot executive, but I’m the one responsible for the lease, which means I’m the one in charge and you’re not just gonna come in and railroad me.

How about I make your life easier and take some responsibility off your plate? I’ll cover the rim for the third room too. How? No, you, you don’t have a job, neither of you do. That’s a temporary situation. Chicken. And while it is, I’m not counting on anything from you, God. Okay. Okay. I am tired of arguing out of loyalty to you brother.

And because you two obviously have nowhere else to go, I almost emphasis on almost feel sorry for you both. So yeah, you too can stay here as long as trip’s Okay with it. Excellent. She finally comes around. Oh, I wouldn’t be too excited, brother. Since you are the one who’s taking the sofa.

Ah, feeling better? ? Uh, no. No, actually no. I’m, I’m, I’m, I’m, I’m, I’m, I’m feeling a little worse the more it sinks in. I mean, she Chanel for God’s sake. She’s my twin sister. She moves halfway across the world. Doesn’t even tell me about it. I, I, I, I don’t know. I, I guess I just, I don’t mean as much to her as I thought that I did.

That’s, you know, that is not true. But maybe she’s still upset that. You almost kissed me. Yeah. Yeah. I don’t know. Maybe, maybe that is the reason. And when I confronted her about Alex, I told her that we almost lept together . But Chanel, we didn’t, we didn’t kiss, we didn’t touch, we didn’t do anything no matter how bad we both wanted to.

Okay. Well that is not how she saw it . So, so let me just get this straight really fast. All cheats on you, and I don’t mean almost. And somehow I end up being the bad guy here. That is fantastic. That’s great. I guess so. I’m, I’m really sorry, Johnny. Yeah. Well now I’m kind of glad you know that my sister is, uh, halfway around the world.

So now that you have proof, are you gonna go straight to the authorities? Now? Where’s the fun in that? So you’re gonna confront your brother? No, I’m not. Stephan can’t know that. We’re onto him right now. I have the upper hand since knowledge is power, as we all know. And what are you gonna do with that power?

I’m going to let him keep trucking.

Stephan, if you leave three messages for me and I don’t get back to you right away, you’ve gotta take that hint and understand that there’s a reason for it. Now, I know that we’ve had a consensual relationship, but this is bordering on stalking and it has to stop and it. Immediately. Oh, okay. Well, that’s a relief.

Yeah. Yeah. It’ll stop just, uh, because my feelings for you, they’re gone. I don’t love you anymore, Chloe.

So you’re moving in with Wendy? Mm-hmm. maybe. Well, we’re still figuring it all out. Dude. That’s awesome. Up top. Are you gonna leave me hanging? Yeah. I’m sorry dude. But yeah, this is not what it is. I, she just needs a roommate. So what, it’s like a completely platonic arrangement. Yes. It’s exactly what it is.

At least. Okay, you gotta stop what I’ve already told you. All right? She’s trying to work things out with Johnny, and if that’s what she wants, then I’m okay with it.

Look, I’m sorry your sister blew you off and didn’t tell you she was leaving town. Leaving town. She’s in a completely different hemis. Okay. You’re right. I get that. And I understand that you’re upset, but I’m the one with broken hard here and you making this about yourself isn’t making this any easier.

You’re right, you’re right. Uh, I just, I, I got so caught up in my own feelings. I. I forgot to think about yours. Yeah, well there’s a lot of that going on around here. Hey, I’m sorry. Right, and I’m so sorry for what she did to you, but hey, maybe it’s, oh, maybe it’s for the best. I mean, come on. Allie is the one who blew it here.

This is her loss, not yours. You deserve. You deserve to be. You know, you deserve to be with someone who is as amazing and special as you are, and I am sure that one day, very soon you will be,

you’re gonna let Stephan keep drugging you. That’s. I’m not going to let him keep drugging me. I’m going to let him keep drugging me. Oh, so you’re saying that if Stephan doesn’t know you’re onto him, then he’ll continue to lace your drinks and then all you have to do is perform a switcheroo. Ah. In other words, give him a taste of his own medicine.

Exactly. And then Stephan will be the one behaving erratically and making a fool of himself and hurting the company. Mm-hmm. . And he will be the one out of Deir on his ass. I’m sorry, what?

My feelings for youth, the romantic ones. They’re gone just like that. Wow.

Chloe, I’m sorry if it seems callous for me to be so blunt. No, I mean it’s, if this whole thing has been very confusing and strange. . And if I’m gonna be honest, I never really felt like your feelings for me were that genuine. Okay? But that does not mean that you are not an incredibly desirable woman, Chloe.

It’s okay. You do not have to flatter me or feel guilty. Like I said, this whole thing has been very strange from the beginning. Yes, it has. I don’t know. I, I guess, Deprogramming kicked in before I passed out because as you were talking here a minute ago, I, I thought that I would at least feel something, especially after our Christmas and our New Years that we shared together.

We had a great time and I am so. For that, Chloe, but it’s okay. You can say it. You realize that you wanna be with Gabby and that you love her. Sorry, I know this all seems so sudden. Well, yeah, but uh, considering the circumstances, it’s. Surprising and I guess it’s the way that it should be. I’m happy for you.

Thank you. And hey, I hope that we can still be friends, . Yeah, right? Sure.

I can’t believe this whole thing is over. I And it’s over for you too. You can be with Brady now, right? I mean at some point. At some point maybe.

Well, like I said, you are an incredible woman and I am profoundly grateful for the moments we shared. Me too. Now go help be with Gabby, right? Right. Yes. Oh.

I want Wendy to be happy too. And you two make a great couple. Okay, we’ll stop thinking that guy. And besides, it’s not gonna be just the two of us at the apartment anyway. What do you mean? Uh, Wendy’s brother showed up at her doorstep with some bags and uh, he and Gabby want to move into her place too.

What’d you just know?

Hi. Ironic, isn’t it? Hmm. A few months ago you would’ve been gloating over Allie leaving me. Remember? May the best twin win. Yeah. Well that was when I was competing for you. Now I’m just genuinely sorry. I see you hurting. Thank you. And hey, at least things are working out for one of us. Right? My mom told me that you’re trying it again with Wendy.

Oh yeah. She told you that. Huh? She knows I care about you, g. Just like I care about you and I always will. It means a lot. And you know what? I am tired of being ob. Okay. Here is to happiness and hope and, and no more heartbreak. Yeah. Yeah. For either of us. Cheers. Cheer.

No, no, no, no. I’m not sleeping on a lumpy sofa. No, because you’re used to king size beds with Egyptian cotton sheets, right? Well, tough. I did it for weeks and now it’s your turn, and if you don’t like it, find somewhere else to crash. Fun. We’ll hold off for a place of our own. It’ll just be the two of us.

Nope. No, thank you. I’m gonna start unpacking. Yeah, and I’m gonna tell Trip that we worked everything out. So Lee, there’s a pillow and a comforter in the hall closet. How at it.

Not that Stephan doesn’t deserve this, but he hasn’t exactly been thinking straight the last few months. I mean, pining over Gabby and Chloe at the same time. He may be a hormonal mess, but his brain is working perfectly. There’s no excuse for what he’s done. Well, I’m not trying to excuse it. I’m just questioning your proposed solution.

Just a minute ago you were calling for Bloodsport. Well, When I thought it was just a family spat, but now we’re, we’re talking about poisoning. What’s the difference?

Well, for one, it’s illegal. Is it his drug? His vile? Technically he’ll be drugging him. And my hands would be clean.

Hmm hmm. I get your point. So as you say, uh, if it’s not technically illegal, then well, if you’re looking for a drinking buddy slash accomplice, I am your woman that you are.

Ooh, it’s cocktail hour and Stephan will be here any minute and then left the game. Begin . Ooh, woo. . Sorry to interrupt. Did you just say Gabby and Lee are moving? Uh, yeah. Wendy’s brother knew that she needed a roommate, and so they should have put her door with some bags, but I don’t know if it,

well, that was weird what that was all about. Oh, nothing good. I’m sure.

Uh, look, I don’t even know what the outcome of this, pardon me, situation is gonna be. I mean, maybe I should just stay home and watch over dead. Stephanie’s got that covered. No, you’re moving. Do not let Wendy’s big brother chase you off. Hey, how many times do I have to tell you that we are just friends?

All right. You have to stop. Hey, you’re just friends for. Dude, why can’t you admit that you have feelings for her? You want to be with her?

You know I was worried about you earlier. Why? Bye. Well, I called you several times and you sent me straight to voice. Oh, well I was having an intense conversation with Eric. Ah, so that’s why you seem tense even now. Okay. Come with me. Oh, come with me. Okay. Sit down.

Oh, how’s that? Mm. It feels amazing. And I thought you said I was good with my hands. Well, I certainly do know my way around a woman’s body. You sure do. But we were talking about your running with Eric. Yeah, well, he was definitely on edge. Maybe it had something to do with him and Sloane not being together anymore.

Oh, what’s. Mm. Well that was quick and he also told me that his father encouraged him to work it out with me. What,

who are you back? And you’re here, I assume you know. I do. Brady, what were you thinking? Chloe? Chloe? I was, I was, I’ll tell you what I was thinking. I was thinking that if I just got you outta Stephan’s head, then everything would be fine and life would be easier for everybody. That’s what I was thinking.

It’s often nothing anyway, because, uh, Stefan refuses to be deprogrammed by Ralph, so Hey, hey, I’m, I wanted to put him back the way he was, you know, the, the, the, the days where he just had eyes for Gabby. Remember those days? I don’t think it’s ever gonna happen now. No, you don’t have to worry about that because the procedure actually did work.

Stephan is completely over me.

There’s nothing in this kitchen, but ramen and mac and cheese need a snack. Here’s some chips. Oh.

I beg your pardon. And you’re making crumbs all over my bed. I know. Could you please not sit there and stare at me? I’m just taking in your beauty. Hell, you’re creeping me out more than usual. Fine. I think I’ll take this opportunity to go wash off the jailhouse stench. Test out the water. Yeah, mouse. Stand there as long as you want.

Maybe even six months.

Guess I’m gonna get that.

Wendy, uh, . How long have you been standing there? I just got here. I, I’m sorry. My brother was being so ridiculous earlier. We decided Lee was going to sleep on the couch and the rest of us will each take a bedroom. Your brother agreed to sleep on the couch? Don’t. Not exactly. He was kind of outvoted. Oh, well even his own wife voted against him.

Well, he and Gap have a complicated arrangement. But she wants to stay, so I see.

Don’t you think it’d just be easier to have found another place? No. I mean, assuming you still want to stay, I want you there too. Right? And it’s settled trip’s moving in with you. Let’s go to the pub to celebrate. Hey, you know Joey, last time I had drinks at the pub with Trip, it was because you called me there and.

You told her about that. That is pretty obvious. Alright, look, I’m sorry I’m not in the matchmaking business anymore. I promise Won’t happen again. Drinks on me. Well, in that case. Sure. Let’s grab a drink. You don’t need a matchmaker anymore, right? Because you’re living together. No. Mm-hmm. . Mm-hmm.

Well, sounds like things are going well for you and Wendy. Yeah. Yeah. We uh, we watched Evil Dead too for Valentine’s Day. Oh, how romantic. Oh, I know. Well, did you at least buy our flowers or chocolates? ? Uh, actually, uh, no. No, I did not. But look, it’s not like it’s anything serious between us right now, and it also wasn’t like we planned on it, so I don’t know.

We’re just going to, uh, yeah, we’ll see where things go. Well, I hope it goes well for you too. She’s really nice and. I, I know that I kind of rock hopeful for y’all. So, um, I’m, I’m glad you got past that. . Thank you. Oh,

Eric told you he wants you back? No, no. He said his father wanted him to want me back. I mean our, our conversation was awkward and not romantic at all. In fact, he got really annoyed when he texted me and he stomped off. Oh, I see. Well, I would say I’m sorry, but I’m not, he just wanted to ask me questions about the orchid that was stolen from the basement.

And I, quite frankly, I think that’s all he wanted to talk to me about. Um, I’m with you now. I mean, poisoning people together. I mean, if that doesn’t bring people closer right,

too, what is it? Are you sure this is what you want? What I want. I mean, I thought we agreed. I’m not talking about poisoning, Stephan. I’m talking about our relationship.

Look, Nicole, what’s happened between us feels good and it feels right, at least from my perspective. But if there is any chance for you and Eric, I don’t wanna stand in the way of that. I don’t want you to be in something that you don’t want to be in.

I appreciate you saying that. I do, but my perspective is the same as yours. This feels good. And right. Are you sure? Yes, I am sure. Eric and I are so done, and this is exactly where I wanna be.

What do you, what do you, what do you mean it worked? I mean, Stephan has been completely deprogrammed, but we didn’t, we didn’t finish the, the procedure. We, we, well, whatever it is that you did, it worked. He came to see me earlier and um, some light bulb went off in his head and he went on and on about how he loves Gabby and wants to be with.

and that he has no romantic feelings for me. Not at all.

This is great. This, this, this. Hey, this is, this is amazing, right?

You don’t, you don’t, you don’t look happy. Look, I know. Hey, clo. I know you developed feelings or, or whatever for him, it’s, I mean, it’s, it’s okay. It’s, it’s okay. Yeah, I did, I guess I’m kind of relieved, you know, I’m completely through with Stephan now and it’s a good thing he can move on with Gabby, Chloe, we can move on as well.

Brady, when it comes to us, it’s not that simple.

Stephen, why are you here? I’m here to see you. I, I ran into Trip Johnson. He said I could find you here. Oh wow. Good news travels fast. Unfortunately, I’m busy. Gabby, I need, I need to talk to you, please. Okay. Good job. You finally got my name right? Okay. I am sorry. For Valentine’s Day, I acted like a complete ass and it will never happen again.

I don’t need any more apologies from you, Stephen. I didn’t come here just to apologize to you, Gavin. I don’t care. No, please. Just listen to me please. Wolf got outta jail and he finished You programming me. What? Yes. My feelings were Chloe Gabby. They’re gone. Completely gone. And you told me to call you when that happened and when I knew that I loved you and only you and I.

You look at me. Are the love of my life the only one that I want?

Aren’t you gonna say something?

Kind of at a loss for words. Okay, I can understand that. But come on, we can be happy about this, Gabby. We can finally be together. Okay. And there’s nothing stopping us. Come on.

What the hell? Put your hands off my wife.

Hi. Hey. Hey. What’s up guys? Hey, what’s up man? For not interrupting anything? No, no, not at all. Um, Chanel here was just telling me that, uh, uh, Allie moved. New Zealand. This, this is, that’s not what it looks like. No, I know you guys are just friends. Same as me and Trevor. Great.

You sitting here having drinks with Chanel doesn’t mean anything more than trip. Moving in with me.

Oh, Chloe, I am. I know, I know. I hurt you when I lied to you about Kristen. Okay. I didn’t, I didn’t, I didn’t have a choice, and I know you needed time to process your feelings. Okay. My God, what we have, what we had, what we’ve always had. It’s amazing. It’s, it’s,

can you honestly look me in the eyes and tell me that you don’t love me anymore?

No, I can’t, can’t do that because I am in love with you. But Brady, you, you kidnap a man to make him forget his feelings for me. And you didn’t talk to me about it. You didn’t talk to him about it. Oh, it was a little desperate. Okay. Well, but I did look at where your desperation got you. Did you even think about what happens next?

I admit I had a little bit of tunnel vision. Okay. That’s just because I saw us at the end of the tunnel, us together again, happy together again. It’s not that simple. You, you, babe. You just looked me in the eye and told me that you still love me and I am in love with. But your daughter, she despises me.

She blames me for your breakup with her mother. We will handle that together. My daughter, my daughter is going to get older and she will understand why I did what I had to do. And she will understand that you are a wonderful, beautiful person. She will get it. Is she going to understand that you went to prison for kidnapping a man and endangering his life?

Another drink.

Don’t mind if I do

here. My brother is going to miss cocktail hour. What? What more for us? He’s gotta come home sometime. Right? We’ll get it next time. Mm-hmm.

Okay. Okay. I know Tripp said that you would be here too, but I also know that Gabby has asked for a divorce. You’re behind the times. My wife has agreed to move in with me. What? Okay, Gabby. I know I screwed up. But I am back to my own self now. I love you. You don’t have to stay with this guy. This guy is her husband, and in fact she does.

She signed a contract committing to remain in the marriage and cohabit just for six months. Okay? I don’t understand why. Why would you agree to that? That’s none of your business. I was asking her a towel. I don’t understand. Gabby, why would you place their contract? What the hell is going on here? Step I.

If you’ll excuse us. My wife and I need some time to Chris in our new home. Goodbye step.

Hmm.
