THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 Here, lift up a little bit. There we go. Yeah. Can I, can I get you another pillow, you know, or some water, or, you know, I’m gonna, I’m gonna get you a snack. Um, you know what you could do? You could go and get a chill pill, and then you can take it yourself. You just scared the bejesus out of me, so excuse me if I’m not all chill.

You know, next time that you, you know, get a lead on a dangerous situation, I don’t know, maybe you can give me a call? Fair enough. But for the record, baby, I’m fine. You heard Kayla. Whatever sedative Nurse King gave me has been flushed out of my system. Alright. So we’re all good. Glad to hear it so I can finally take you back to prison.

Ah, there you go. I’m so relieved. Alana’s gonna be okay. I still can’t believe that she tracked down my dad. He’s, he’s actually alive. I know. She’s somewhat of a hero, isn’t she? She is, but I swear when Marlena wheeled my dad out of that elevator, I thought I was saying things. I bet you did. I was until I hugged him.

I felt him in my arms. I let myself believe it was real. I just wish that he knew who I was. Do you think that he’s going to get his memory back at some point? I’m hopeful, yes. Your father’s head injury was not severe. Which means that the amnesia should be temporary. Should be. Are you saying that there’s a chance that my dad will never remember us?

Oh, my love. Can’t believe you’re really here.

Thought I’d lost you forever.

No. Abraham. You’re awake.

How do you feel? Strange. Tired. Well, it’s no wonder you’ve been through so much. Went in the hospital. Mm hmm. You were drugged, but… It’s, uh… The doctors, they’re getting that stuff right out of your system. I was drugged. How did, how did, how did that happen? Well, it’s a long story, but you know what?

I think it’s best that you just relax for now, okay? And I will, I will tell you, I will answer all your questions when you feel a little better. Uh, I have, I have, uh, two questions. They can’t wait, they can’t wait. Yeah, of course, of course. What do you want to know? Forgive me. Who are you? And

where’s my wife?

Hello, Miss King. Oh, my hands! Oh,

what are you doing here? Well, I came to check on you. I wanted to see how you’re doing since I saw you this morning. I, I saw you this morning? Yes, don’t you remember seeing me? You do know who I am, right? How could I not know who you are? You’re just the queen diva of my favorite soap opera.

Wow!

Wait, wait, wait. Ugh, no, we can’t do this! Well, we seem to be doing a pretty good job so far. No, dum dum Gwenny! We can’t do this to her! Ugh, here we go again. Yes, here we go again! I am feeling guiltier than ever! I am her best friend, you’re her groom! And here we are, hooking up the night before your marriage!

I wish things could be different, Leo, I really do. I wish that we could be together, out in the open. But, as you also know, if I want this inheritance Yeah, yeah, you have to marry her before you’re over the hill. Before I turn 40. Same thing. And look, before I turn thirty five… Okay, forty. Okay, forty five! I have to rid myself of this guilt I have towards the sweetest person I know!

Well, definitely not the sweetest, but certainly the most loyal, or I, will inherit a straitjacket. So what do you say? That this affair, as thrilling and wonderful as it is, it… It has to end. Oh, you don’t mean that. Did I not just explain that I, who have fought hating myself my entire life for being a petty little twat, as Gwen recently called me, although she said it in a light hearted and affectionate way because she loves me and I love her, which is why I am so tortured

and now losing the Don’t do that. You know how much I How much you what? Oh, oh. Lordy, Lordy and lordy. Tomorrow. I married Gwen tonight, baby. I am all yours. God, I can’t believe

I never forgot my phone. Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives. I

didn’t realize that my dad’s amnesia could be permanent. Well, that’s rarely the case, but we just can’t rule out the possibility. Okay, well… Is there something that we can do to increase his chances of him recovering his memories? I mean… Well, I mean, for starters, we are flushing the drugs out of his system.

And then we’re gonna let his brain have some time to heal. And sometimes the memories just come back on their own. And if that doesn’t happen, then we will explore the other options. Possibly, uh, hypnotherapy or even occupational therapy. Like I had when I was a kid. Right. But I think what’s going to help your dad the most is he has your tremendous support of family and friends Well, I’ll be there for him as much as he needs me to be But I just can’t help but wonder if If what?

Maybe somehow This is all my fault. Abraham,

I know your mind is all jumbled up right now, but please believe me, okay? I am your wife, and I love you very much. I, I, I, I don’t even know you. Uh, well, uh, look, uh, look. It says it right there. Paulina Price. I’m your wife. That’s me. That, that, uh, that other woman? That was Nurse Whitley King. She was your nurse here at the hospital.

She pretended to be me and she kidnapped you. Plucked you right out of your hospital bed. Worst of all, she tricked us into thinking you were dead. Why, why, why would she do that? I don’t know, but clearly that woman is completely off her rocker. Miss King? Oh, please, call me Whitley. We’re practically family, after all.

I think you’re confused. Oh, I know that we’re not actually family. I’ve just spent so many years watching the story of your life.

Exactly. Who do you think I am? Oh, well, I know who you are. You are Charlemagne Delacroix from Body and Soul. Um, actually, that’s a fictional character. I’m Dr. Marlena Evans. We worked together at the hospital. Um, until recently, you, you were a nurse there. And you were a patient of mine. Patient.

I’m a psychiatrist. I’d like to help you if you’ll let me.

Well, Leo. Am I doing this? Or should I put my clothes back on and leave you here? Finish up all by your lonesome.

I suppose it would be a shame to let all this gratuitous nudity go to waste. Oh dear, what’s going on

here?

Gwen, darling! You’re back! I thought you were going to the office. I forgot my phone. Oh, mother of rotten luck. For you, I mean. I’m so sorry you had to come all the way back here. You should have texted me and I would have… Oh, if you didn’t have your phone, it’s hard to text about a forgotten phone without a phone, right?

Are you quite finished? Yeah, I’m done. So how’s the planning going? You know, like the two of you said that you were going to do. Well, we had been working on the surprise for your wedding and we got sidetracked. Yes, I can see that. Care to explain what’s happened to my fiancé’s clothes?

Sorry to barge in on you, Mrs. Grant. Allow me to introduce myself. I’m Sam Gerrard with the U. S. Marshal’s Office. You know, you caused quite a stir with your disappearance. If I may. She was knocked out and held against her will. I’m well aware. I was with Detective Hunter and the former commissioner when they found her at the docks.

I heard you tracked my monitor. Thank you for helping them find me. Just doing my job, ma’am. Which also includes taking you back to Maryland. And now that you’re feeling better, I’m afraid we have to leave right away. I’m sorry. I can’t let you do that.

Why on earth would you think that you have anything to do with your father’s amnesia? Well, Claire’s always talking about karma and karmic payback. And I’m just wondering if what I did a couple of years ago might have caused what happened to my dad. Uh, no. Well, you don’t even know what I’m talking about.

Maybe you do. Okay, okay. Why don’t you tell me? Well, when Ciara lost her memory, I started dating her again. Even though she didn’t remember Ben. I mean, we almost got married. And that’s, well, that’s similar to what Nurse Whitley did to my dad. Okay, okay, you need to listen to me for a second, okay? Nurse Whitley kidnapped and manipulated your father.

She drugged him and made all of us believe that he was dead. There is no way that any of that is similar to what you did. And aside from all that, it’s not the way the universe works. You don’t believe in karma? I think I’m of two minds about it, really. I mean, I have seen so many good people have really bad things happen to them.

And also the opposite. But you know what? I do believe that being a good person is its own reward, and the kindness and decency can be contagious. You, Theo, are a good person, and I believe No, I know that the only people responsible for your dad’s condition are Colin Bedford and Whitley Kate.

Whitley,

I’d like to talk about what happened at your apartment this morning. You know, I’m awfully tired. I think we should talk about it some other time. No, that’s not a good idea. We made a breakthrough already, and it’s important that we continue.

Look, otherwise I’m afraid that you may end up harming yourself or someone else. Why would you say that? Because of what happened with Abe. Look, I know it wasn’t your intention, but Abe was hurt by what you did. So was his family.

You’re saying it’s true. That I was kidnapped by Paulina. Nurse Whitley. You were kidnapped by Nurse Whitley.

If Whitley kidnapped me, then that explains why she would never, ever let me leave the apartment. She said, she said that I was in danger, that, that a man attacked me. Uh, yes, well, that part is true. It’s why, it’s why you were in the hospital the first time. A man named Colin Bedford, very bad man, he knocked you out in my daughter’s bakery.

Do you remember that? All I remember is, uh, is waking up in the hospital and Chanel was beside me. Yes, my daughter, Chanel, she owns the bakery. And when you woke up, she went to go find me. And, uh, a woman came by. Yeah, that was your nurse. She took advantage of your confused state. But at home she, she showed me our wedding picture.

And she was, she was definitely in it. It must have been a fake! Photoshopped!

See? See? This is our real wedding picture. You and me. Oh, what a day it was. The day we became husband and wife. Oh, one of the happiest of my life. And you, you said the same thing. Do, do you recognize us? Does it seem at all familiar? Wait a minute, wait a minute. I

do remember you now.

Agent Grant, I understand that you’d like to spend more time with your wife. But, she was given furlough to attend her father’s funeral. Who, as it turns out, is actually still alive. That’s my point. And she thought she lost her dad and she’s been granted a miracle. Can’t you give her a few days to spend with her dad?

I mean, at least until he’s out of the hospital. My hands are tied. It’s not my call. Yeah, but you can make a plea on her behalf. I mean, her father has lost his memory, and spending time with his daughter could help him regain it. A case of amnesia? After a miraculous return from the dead? Sounds like something from Body and Soul.

You know, the soap opera? Uh, not that I’m a big fan. The Mrs. makes me watch. From time to time. Is there any way that you can arrange for me to stay here? Just a little longer? I sympathize with you, Mrs. Grant, but my hands are tied. We were already booked on the next flight.

Okay. Okay.

Can I at least say goodbye to my father before we go?

Oh, Abraham! I’m so relieved! Oh, you finally got your memory back! It’s not what I meant.

Not what you meant? What? What do you mean, you don’t remember me? I do, from my dream. I, I dreamed that I was jumping the broom with my bride, and it was you. I saw it, clear as day. Of course you did, because even though your mind had lost all love, your Your heart was trying to remind you because I am still in there in your heart, aren’t I?

Again, I’m, I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I, uh, other than a couple of moments from the wedding, I honestly don’t know who you are. Heh. I certainly don’t remember our love.

Dad, you’re awake. Hey, hey there.

You’re my son, Brandon, right? No, um, no, I’m Theo.

Oh, that can’t be. I’ve seen Theo. You’re not him. Honey, you’ve been spending time with an imposter. Someone pretending to be Theo. It was arranged by Whitley. It was just another one of her deceptions.

I respect and admire Mayor Carver. I would never hurt him. I just, I just wanted to keep him safe. I, I didn’t want him to end up like, like your husband.

I know you blame yourself for his death. I think that’s why you tried to replace him with Abe. Because it would mean, if you could, that terrible tragedy never would have happened.

Look at me.

You’re not Paulina Price. You’re Whitley King.

But I don’t want to be Whitley King. It, it, Whitley King, it means I killed my husband. It means I’m an awful person. It means I have nothing to live for.

Abraham, the young man who you thought was your son, that was an actor. Whitley hired an actor named Jerry Prentiss to pretend to be Thiel. That’s right. I remember. I saw Jerry’s name in the credits of Body and Soul. And now that you’ve seen your real son in person, well, does that trigger any other memories?

No. No, it doesn’t.

Oh. Oh. Oh, my love, there must be something to help you remember. Ah.

It’s you.

Well, this all must seem rather strange, Gwen, but I assure you there is a perfectly reasonable explanation. I’m waiting. Well, I… Dimitri does not have a proper suit for tomorrow, so I convinced him to try on one of mine. You have plenty of seats. Yeah, but they’re also blah. I told him he needed something special, something with a little pizzazz.

You know, after all, this is a once in a lifetime event. So, he needs something more like… this. Yeah. Not really your cup of tea, is it, Dmitri? Yes, I know, but with the wedding only hours away, I was… desperate. He was just about to try this on, which would explain his state of undress. Mm. Mm mm. Yep, sorry, Matty, I’m not buying it.

You see, I know what’s really going on here.

No more lies, Matty. But I just told you that I You wanted Dimitri to get married in something pizzazzy. Exactly! Come on! You honestly thought that I would believe that he would fit into one of your smedium suits. This one’s a woman’s large. It doesn’t matter what size it is. You didn’t want to see Dimitri in it, you wanted to see him out of it.

What are you suggesting? That you wanted to see my fiancé in his underwear. Okay.

You got me. Maybe I did wanna… Coggle, DVL, and his BVDs. And now I’m so embarrassed for having a crush on a straight man. Which is kind of a pattern for me. Although I do get crushes on gay men, but that’s usually when they’re plausible. You’re right, you’re right. Um, no one needs to know what a screw up I am.

Uh, Dimitri? I apologize for putting you through that. Cheap trick. All is forgiven. Thank you for understanding. And Gwenny, thank you for knowing me so well and for putting up with me anyway. Yes, you are my BFF, aren’t you forget this. After tomorrow, this man is all mine.

Whitley, you mustn’t think that way. Like, I know things seem bleak at the moment, but when you get the help you need, you’ll be able to let go of this terrible guilt you’re feeling. My precious husband. He was so good to me. He was so sweet. If only I’d known that you didn’t.

So you couldn’t help him?

He’s probably looking down at me from having such shame at the person that I’ve become.

He probably doesn’t even recognize me. I don’t even recognize myself.

I just got off the phone with Steve. He and John are on their way home with Jerry Prentiss. Please tell them that I said thank you. I’d do it myself, but the U. S. Marshal has insisted that Lonnie go back to prison immediately. That’s gonna be rough on her. My gosh, she just got her dad back. At least he’s allowing her to say her goodbyes.

You remember Lani? Of course. You’re the woman who came to rescue me. You came to the apartment.

And you told me you were my daughter. That’s right. What about before that? Any memories of her prior to your attack? No. I’m so sorry. I wish I could remember. I just, I just can’t. That’s okay, Dad. Give yourself time. I am just so glad we have you back. You know, the way you stood up to Whitley. You were so brave.

That’s our baby girl. The bravest woman I know. I wonder where I get that from.

Oh. I’ll help you. Hey. How’s it going in here? Dad’s awake. So happy to see that. Um, I’m sorry. Who are

you? Um, I’m Lonnie’s husband, Eli. I have son in law. And friend. Hey, we’re, we’re, we’re just so relieved and we’re happy that you’re back. We missed you. Lani and I, Paulina, Theo. Your grandkids.

We love you.

Thank you for your kindness.

I hate to cut things short, but our time is up. We gotta go.

But Abraham just woke up! Are you sure you have to go right this minute? We don’t have a choice. Where are you off to? Um, Eli and I, we, we live in Maryland. With our twins Jules and Carver. And the Grandfather. Yes, yes, and all those babies, they are the cutest little angels. Oh wait, hold on, hold on, I got a picture right here.

I’ll show you. Oh, look, Carver, Carver here. He is your namesake. Mm hmm. What do you know? I hear these are, these are beautiful children. Thank you. No wonder you don’t want to be away from them very long.

Yes, it’s been very difficult being separated from them. And mom will explain that to you later. But dad, I… I have some other obligations that I have to fulfill. So it’ll be a while before I can come back. But I promise you, I will come back and visit soon. So in the meantime, know that I love you with all my heart.

And I’ll be thinking about you. And looking forward to when we can all be back together.

Alright.

Goodbye, honey. I

love you

too. Thank you, thank you for helping to bring Abe back to us. We couldn’t have done it without you. Oh, I love you, baby girl. I’m just so grateful I could help. I love you. And you.

Why are you being so kind to me, Dr. Evans? I know that Abe is your good friend. He is. But you’re in a lot of pain and I would like to help you get through it. Oh, what’s the point? I’m just going to end up in prison, right? Well, I don’t know about that. But I do know that you’ve been through a terrible trauma.

And I want to make sure there is someone to help you get through that. I don’t deserve help. I hurt so many people. How in the world am I going to make up for that?

Well, now that you have your phone and that’s all sorted, are you heading back to the office? Um, I think, um, I’ll just stay in here now. Get all the rest I can before the big day, but not be so rested where you and I can’t celebrate a bit on my last night of freedom. Of course, party time. In that case, I’ll take my leave.

I have some shopping to do. Need to find myself an appropriate suit. Don’t listen to Matty, just wear any suit. I’m sure it’d be perfect. You are gonna look dashing no matter what. True that. Alright, thank you Leo. You too. Be sure to have a wonderful night. And to you, my beautiful bride to be, I’m counting down the moments until you walk down that aisle for me.

As am I, my love. I can’t wait.

I’m gonna miss you so much. Same. But, it’s only six months until I’m up for Pearl. Right, and hopefully, by the time you get back, that’ll be as old as I’ll forget. I’m counting on him. You’ll keep me posted? Of course. Oh. Next time that we come back home, it’ll be for good.

Alright. We’re ready.

Hello, Abe? You probably don’t remember me, but I’m Dr. Kayla Johnson. Were you my doctor from before? Yes, I was. But I’m also a very close friend of yours. And so is my husband, Steve.

I’m sorry. Doesn’t ring a bell. That’s okay. It’ll come to you. The important thing is to not put too much pressure on yourself.

It’s very frustrating, not being able to recognize my family. Well, they understand. Believe me, they are just so relieved and happy that you are alive and well. In fact, this whole town just loves you so much, and they’re rooting for you. Whitney, you deserve help. And you’re going to get it. You’re not alone.

Paulina, how is Abe? Physically, he is just fine. But, when he opened his eyes, he asked for you, Whitley. I did my best to set him straight, but my husband looks into my eyes and he doesn’t remember me. He doesn’t know me. His own wife. He doesn’t remember his children. I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry. I know that I put all of you through hell.

If there’s anything I can do to help… Oh! Oh! You can shut your damn mouth! I don’t want to hear anything that you have to say!

Paulina. We should go. Now. Fine, fine. I’ll go. But I just want this bitch to know that she can’t undo all the damage that she’s, she’s caused with just, I’m sorry. It’s going to take a hell of a lot more than that. Well, hell

Let’s go.

I can do this. I can do this. I can do this. I can do this. All I have to do is fake a marriage. For an entire year.

But then I get my inheritance.

And in the meantime, I see no reason why I should have to give up Leo.

Oh, Matty. Can you believe it? Tomorrow, I’m going to marry a man that I absolutely adore. And he adores me back.

Look, I know that… I know you had your doubts about Dimitri in the beginning, but… I think now you can see how very right we are for each other. And how happy he makes me.

I do. And that makes me happy.

Matty, it means so much to me that you’ve come around. Honestly, without your blessing, I don’t think, I don’t think I’d be able to go through with this wedding. That’s how important you are to me.

And you to me.

Hey,

don’t you too someday. I know it. You’re gonna meet the most amazing guy who’s going to love you just as much as Dimitri loves me. And then we’re both gonna have our happily ever after. Just like we’ve dreamed of.

Ow.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

I am where you told me to be and this guy still has not shown up. Okay. Okay. Hm. Just tell me again what I’m supposed to be looking for. Blue blazer. Got it.

It couldn’t be him. Not again. Could it?

Hello, Lee. We meet again. Yes, and what an unpleasant deja vu it is. So you didn’t just throw in the towel, you asked the matchmaker who put us together to try again? Yeah, and now I’m… How’d you know that? Because I did the same thing, because this is deja vu for me too. Wait, what are you trying to tell me?

That I’m your date for the night.

Well… Congratulations, that’s great. Thank you, no, we’re really, we’re really happy. I’m sure. EJ, there you are. Yes, here I am. And so are all of you. Something wrong? No, not at all. So, what are you both doing here? Is someone sick? No, I just told you, we’re fine actually. We, we couldn’t be better. Ah, Nicole, do you want to tell me what’s going on here?

Sure. Sloan just told me she’s having a baby. Eric’s

baby.

Oh, good run. Yeah, I, uh, I went down by the river to catch a breeze and, um, there was no breeze. You worked out quite a sweat. Oh yeah? You noticed? Ooh, I noticed.

So, um, the kids are at Doug and Julie’s tonight, huh? Yeah. They called while you were out. They were having a wonderful time. And I told them we’d pick them up first thing in the morning. Oh, good. So why don’t you shower, and I will figure out what’s for dinner. Okay. Okay. Oh no, I’m getting my sweat all over you.

Hey, it’s a bad time? Yeah, it is. And don’t you ever wear clothes?

To the DiMera mansion, yes. And, um, please have your guy put it in the fridge for me. Thank you. Well, I’ve just checked off the last thing on my to do list.

Gosh. I cannot believe you and I are getting married tomorrow.

In less than 24 hours, you and I are going to be husband and wife. And then

we’ll I don’t know, Victorian, to put the happily ever off until after some patriarchal ceremony. What do you mean? Well, can’t we put the wedding night before the wedding?

I’m sorry, Gwen, uh… I can’t do this.

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

I’m sorry, what did you just say? I, I said, uh, forgive me Gwen, I, uh, I don’t think this is a good idea. It isn’t a good idea? Do

you perhaps care to be a bit more specific? I mean, not a good idea about hitting the sack, or not… A good idea about getting married, because Bloody hell, Dimitri. One minute I’m ordering my bouquet, and the next minute you are actually shoving me away No, I wasn’t exactly shoving you away. No, you’re right.

More like swatting me away like I was a mosquito. Gwen, please. I… Dimitri. If something is wrong, you had better tell me now. That

First of all, if it felt like I was shoving you away, I am so sorry, darling. It’s just that there’s so much still left to do before the wedding. Well, then why’d you come over here in the first place? B because I, because I wanted to see if there’s anything that you needed me to do. Well, there was. And you acted as though I violated your virtue.

Right. Okay, um… I think that maybe we are both a little bit nervous about the big day and, uh, I think we should be careful right now about saying things that we might later regret. You mean hearing things that you don’t want to hear?

I’m gonna go. I am going to go run my few errands and then I am going to come right back and we can continue this conversation once we both settle down a bit. Gwen,

can we please not fight the night before our wedding?

What the hell just found out. Well, that’s great. I’m so very happy for you. Congratulations, Eric. Thank you. So… Maybe all four of us can do Lamar’s together.

Or not.

Anyway, I… I know this must mean the world to you, Eric. And you’re going to be a father after all.

What the hell, Alex? This isn’t what it looks like, Steph. I meant what I said about moving on. Well, showing up shirtless doesn’t seem like moving on. It seems like the same old, same old. I have a shirt. I have two shirts. I just need to know which one to wear. So flip a freakin coin. Give me two seconds, please.

Seriously, this one? Or this one? Okay, Alex, do you not see how pathetic this is? I have a date tonight and I want to look my best. I had an idea for… Are you kidding me? No, I’m not kidding you. I was asking Stephanie her opinion on what shirt I should wear. When I used to live at the mansion, I was able to ask Sonny and Maggie, but…

You’d ask Maggie what shirt to wear and you’re wondering why she questioned your leadership abilities? Dude, how about you Just tell me which one to where and I’ll leave. 1, 2, 1.

You went back to the same matchmaker. I believe in second chances. No, you don’t. You believe in putting people in jail and throwing away the key. What? Making a bad match is not as serious as trying to kill your ex wife’s fiancé. Which I did not do, damn it. What, you put that on your dating profile and never lets anything go?

Oh, did you mention your interest in science like aversion therapy to recondition a man’s libido? You know what? This is not how I wanted this night to go. Yeah, you’re not the only one. What? I’m so sorry, can I help you? I sure hope so, given how very handsome you look in that blue jacket. I’m sorry, who are you?

Connie Vaninski. Your date.

Look, I’m sorry if I seemed flipped before, the… Blame Lamar’s joke. Nicole and I are both very happy for the two of you. Both of you? Of course. We both know how much you wanted to be a father. Uh, he’s gonna be an amazing father. So, you and Sloane are pregnant at the same time. I guess this means we’ll be going to the same little league, Ames.

I’m sorry. Well, I think we should probably get going. We don’t want to be late to that appointment. Yeah, no we don’t. It was good seeing you.

Oh, well done EJ. You sure laid that on with the trowel.

What?

I’m sorry if I seemed abrupt just now. Miss um, Veninsky, but call me Connie. You see, there’s been some confusion as to who I’m supposed to meet tonight. Oh, hey. No prob, Rob. Actually, it’s Lee. Oh, I didn’t think it was your name. I was making a joke. No prob, Rob. See, it rhymes. Cute. I get a million of them. I’m sure you do.

Love that dress. I’m a big fan of red. And sorry I was late. The circus is in town. Oh, were you looking for work? No, the parade screwed up traffic. Oh, hard to speed up those elephants. Ain’t it the truth. Look, I don’t mean to be pushy or anything, but I came here for a date. A due, as the French say. So would you mind bidding adios to your little friend?

Right, well, uh, grab a table. If you’ll excuse us. Of course. You two have a lot to talk about.

What the hell is going on here? Lee isn’t my date. Who is?

How lame was that? I mean, what shirt should I wear? Chad? No, I mean, what does he think? If he shows you his six pack one more time, you’re suddenly going to succumb to his charm? You know what I really hate about him coming up like that? It’s just, it’s, how rude is he? How transparent? It’s how long it takes you, after he leaves, to talk about anything else.

Because it’s beyond infuriating. I mean, who, who does that? Like, what kind of idiot just keeps showing up when he’s not wanted? Chad, listen to me. Please, look at me. We have a night alone. I wonder if there’s anything I can do to make you think about something else. I don’t know, can you think of anything that you might find more interesting than talking about Alex?

Like who?

I think we can come up with something. In the shower. Oh, okay. Cause you know how I feel about water. Oh my god, look at that towel. I’m gonna kill him. What do you want? Oh, I’m sorry. Is this a bad time?

You know… In a town where there is serial demonic possession, multitudinal dead people coming back to life, and every wedding, both literally and figuratively, ends with an explosion, you would think it would be easy to write a gossip column. The problem is that the bar is set so high… Simple adultery seems boring, which is why I’ve got nothing for my gossip column tomorrow.

Nada, zilch, nothing.

Gwenny, are you listening to me? Yeah. Are you okay?

Fine. No, you’re not. Oh my god, I scared you talking about Salem, and now you’re worried that something’s gonna go wrong at your wedding. I’m not worried about that. I’m worried there’s not going to even be a wedding at all.

So I wouldn’t say I’m gluten free, but I’m what I like to call gluten wary.

I must say, I’m surprised you decided to use a matchmaking service. From what I’ve heard, you have no problem finding women. Mm, mm. Well. That is true, I guess, but really, what I would like is to meet a woman who’s, uh… Who’s what? Out of my league. I’m pretty shallow.

So after I graduated Salem High, I enrolled in Salem U while working nights at the Cheating Heart. And I was a candy striper at University Hospital for a time in the late 90s. For some reason they made us watch all these videos about the perils of DNA testing. Anywho, I’ve basically lived in Salem my whole life.

Never even took a vacation anywhere else, save for the time my family and I went up to Green Mountain Lodge. What about you? Well, I mostly grew up in Hong Kong. I came to the States for school. You’re seriously interested in that table. What? No, no. It’s okay, I get it. I’d be peeved at that woman too if I were you.

You know who that is? Sure do. She’s the DA who almost sent you up the river for trying to have your ex wife’s fiancé rubbed out.

I’m sorry, honey. I really do think you’re overreacting. That’s easy for you to say. You’re not the one that he refused to have sex with.

Bloody errands, indeed. I mean, I touched him, and he pulled away. My God, Matthew. Why wouldn’t he want to have sex with the woman that he supposedly loves?

How should I put this? Anytime I open the door and I see you, it’s de facto a bad time. I recognize that you have your reservations about me, Chad, but I only need a minute. There’s something very important I need to tell you. One minute. Thank you. Well, I, um, I would just like to personally invite you to my wedding tomorrow.

Gwen and I would be honored if you would attend.

Do you want to talk about it? Talk about what? That you found out Sloane Peterson is pregnant and now she and Eric are our new best friends? I can’t stand her. And you can’t stand Eric. I was trying to be polite. What should I have said? Oh, you’re going to have a baby? Eh, so what? Big deal. You pushed right past polite and went straight to gushing.

Oh, I did not gush. Oh, okay. To making stupid jokes. I was trying to lighten the mood. Everyone seems so damn sober. I’m going to bed. You know what I think? What do you think? You’re not upset that I was being nice to Sloane or that I was making little jokes. You’re not even upset that Sloane is going to have a baby.

You’re upset that Sloane is going to have Eric’s baby.

Well… At least EJ seemed happy for us. The same as the more operative word. I mean, at least he tried. Not like Nicole, who… What about Nicole? Oh, come on, Eric. He saw how she was. She congratulated us. Her congratulations was not sincere. Okay, hey, listen. We are here waiting for a prenatal exam, so… We’re having a baby.

And we’re both thrilled about that, so why don’t we try to concentrate on that? Yeah, you’re right. Okay. The most important thing is our baby. Amen. So, I was… Talkin with Nicole. Wait, aren’t you the one that just said we weren’t gonna talk about Nicole? Well, she was telling me more about genetic testing.

That her doctor even said that he can discover more about the baby than from a sonogram. So, um, Nicole was talking about the

baby.

Nicole, I, I don’t want us to fight. But I do want us to do things differently this time. We need to be honest with each other. I mean really honest with each other. I know that you’re upset that Sloan is having a baby, having Eric’s baby. And I can understand that, but we need to talk about it.

You’re right. I am upset. But it’s not about what you think it is. What is it you think I think? I think that you think I’m still hung up on Eric. And that I can’t stand the thought of him having a baby with another woman. But that’s not true.

Baby, I love you. Not Eric. You. And I am so thrilled to be having this baby with you.

I sense a doubt.

It’s Sloane. It’s not Eric or, or, or their baby. It’s Sloane. And just… Something about her pregnancy seems… Off. Hmm.

Why

would EJ and Nicole need testing done? Genetic testing. I mean, they’re both young and healthy. Nicole, she suffered miscarriages, you know, from the past. So it makes sense that she’d want to know as much about the baby as possible. I’m happy. Is it even safe? I mean, for the baby? No, the baby’s not even involved.

Nicole said the doctor, all he has to do is take a little swab from E’S mouth and then they can test that D n a and find out exactly what the baby could be dealing with in the future.

And then medical advances in technology, it’s incredible, right? Yeah, it’s um, it’s incredible. So yeah, I decided I was um, done with the constant hookups and the meaningless sex and got myself some much needed therapy. Try and find out why I was so afraid of commitment. Well, good for you Alex. You really, you give me hope for the rest of your gender.

Hmm.

So, um, what brought about this epiphany where relationships and women are concerned? What brought it about was the fact that I screwed things up. Royally screwed things up with the woman that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. You and Gwen are really getting married. Yes, yes we are. And, uh, we would love it if the two of you would be there.

I mean… We wouldn’t, we wouldn’t miss that for the world. No, I mean, we think that you two are just a match made in heaven. I mean, when I went into that Chip’s cabin…

Why would EJ and Nicole need testing done, genetic testing? I mean, they’re both young and healthy. Nicole, she’s suffered miscarriages, you know, from the past. So it makes sense that she’d want to know as much about the baby as possible. Um, but is it even safe? I mean, for the baby? No, but the baby’s not even involved.

Nicole said the doctor, all he has to do is take a little swab from EJ’s mouth. And then they can test that DNA. And find out exactly what the baby could be dealing with in the future.

And then medical advances in technology, it’s incredible, right? Yeah, it’s um… It’s incredible. So, yeah, I decided I was, um, done with the constant hookups and the meaningless sex and got myself some much needed therapy. Try and find out why I was so afraid of commitment. Well, good for you, Alex. You really, you give me hope for the rest of your gender.

So, um, what brought about this epiphany where relationships and women are concerned? What brought it about was the fact that I screwed things up. Royally screwed things up with the woman that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. You and Gwen are really getting married. Yes. Yes we are. And uh, we would love it if the two of you would be there.

I mean, , we wouldn’t, we wouldn’t miss that for the world. . No, I mean, I, we think that you two are just a match made in heaven. I, we, when I went into that ship’s cabin and, uh, and you had that gun trained on Kate, you know, you were threatening to kill her. Kate, who, uh, you enjoyed pointing out that I love like a mother.

You know, I, I thought, it popped into my head that, uh, you know who I should fix him up with? Is Gwen Rizchek, the woman who, uh, terrorized my family and gave my wife psychosis inducing drugs. And you two are, uh, are absolutely perfect for each other. Um, where are you kids going on your honeymoon? Hell? I hope.

Well, I sincerely hoped that this would be a fresh start for all of us. Stephanie, you and Gwen are family after all, just like Chad and I. Abigail and I were family too. And I haven’t forgotten what Gwen did to her. Never will. That’s your minute.

You’re getting really good at that. Have you ever been in therapy? It’s amazing. Really, I mean, sometimes, though, I feel as if maybe I found out a little… Too much about myself. Oh. For example, this one time, I was like 8 years old. No, 7? 7? 8, 8, 8, 8, cause I was already a big Cubs fan. And I walk inside of my house.

You know, just for the record, no matter what you read or heard, I had nothing to do with any plot to kill Stefan DiMera. No? That’s a shame. I beg your pardon? I have a thing for bad boys.

Sweetie, if Dimitri says he’s running errands, I’m sure that’s all there is to

it. Since when did you become so trusting? I’m not. I, I just… You are my best friend. I hate seeing you so sad and rejected. But if you are starting to wonder about this guy, if you think maybe he is not as into you as he claims to be, it’s not too late to call it off. You think I should call off the wedding?

The thing is, Gwen really likes you. I think maybe she even loves you. Yes. But I promise you, I will take care of Gwen in my own way. But you have to promise me that no one will know about this. Especially her. It’ll only hurt her. No! No, I don’t think you should call off your wedding. Look, I think this is just pre wedding jitters.

Dimitri was in a mood, you took him by surprise, he’s, he’s an alpha male. You should not call your wedding off over a fumbled pass. Hang on, did Leo Stark just use a sports metaphor? Only for you. Only for my best friend.

Are you sure about Dimitri? Positive. Oh,

fine.

I’m just gonna get over my tired self and I’m gonna pretend that tonight never happened.

Matty. And thank God I always have you to set me straight, my best friend in the entire world.

So, you were hoping that I actually did try to kill my wife’s former lover. Well, I’m totally addicted to true con podcasts, but what sets me apart is I’m always rooting for the bad guy. And I never heard a podcast that got me going the way reading about how you and Stefan’s own sister tried to brainwash an ex navy SEAL to take him out.

And I’d really like to, you know, go somewhere private and hear all about it. Straight from the horse’s mouth. You know, I really

loved you. And? So, what I thought I was doing when I turned off Stephanie’s phone was just trying to keep us from being interrupted again. So then we could finally have sex. But now I see that it was really my fear of abandonment That made me try and control, not just the situation, but control Stephanie’s life.

And of course, naturally, it blows up right in my face, now she’s with Chad, living across the hall from me, and I’m just trying to stay grateful, you know? That we can be friends, and I can commit myself to moving on into a more mutual trusting. And… Respectful relationship. Maybe with someone like you. Uh, well, that’s…

I’m afraid that’s never gonna happen. I mean, I thought we were getting along. Uh, we were, and look, you’re a nice guy, but… This is not going anywhere. Why not? Well, because A, you talk too much. B, you keep taking your glasses on and off, which is really annoying. And it’s obviously some kind of phony affectation.

And C, you are still in love with Stephanie Johnson.

Anyone knock while I was in the shower? Gwen? Leo? The Gestapo? None of the above. But, with all the interruptions, I never made dinner. Okay, if we go out? Well, I think that is a great idea. I mean, it just doesn’t make sense. I mean, first of all, why would Dimitri want us there when he marries Gwen? So we can throw bricks, I mean, rice, at the bride.

No, seriously, I mean, snakes copulate. They don’t get married. Excellent analogy. I just, I don’t know, there’s something, there’s something very off about that movie.

Oh, hi. I didn’t realize you’d be here. Is Gwen around? She’s in the bathroom. Oh, Dimitri. I was just going to ring you. Um, it turns out I got all worked up over you having to go run errands. I have to run one myself. Oh, so you’re heading out? Yeah, something at the Spectator. Sorry. I’m also sorry about how I behaved earlier.

I’m just a bit bridezilla, right? No, no.

Well, you can thank Leo there for talking me down from the ledge.

You two play nice now.

Well,

that sounds like a good idea. I think you

are right. I think this time around we do need to be honest with each other.

And I honestly love you. And I am over Eric, but I will always care about him and his happiness.

I know that. And I can’t expect you not to.

But, uh, let’s think about when Sloane got her hooks into Eric. And it was right after Jada aborted his baby and when he thought Marlena was dead. And Eric is a fundamentally good man who is now having a baby with a tarantula. Wait, you don’t like Sloane? I just thought one day he’d wake up and see Sloane for who she really is.

But now a baby? He’s gonna be tied to her forever.

Which is why she got pregnant.

I’m gonna go see what’s keeping the doctor, okay?

God, this cannot be happening. Damn it, Nicole. Oh God, check EJ’s DNA. That’s not a match with that baby. Good proof. That’s not EJ’s baby. That is Eric’s.

So, how was your date? Oh, God awful. And yours? Uh, ask me any detail. Any detail at all you’d like to know about Alex’s inner journey. I would not. I see you ordered our favorite. I thought I’d be sharing it with Alex, but he was too busy talking to eat or drink anything. Rambling on about his cliché epiphanies and his ex.

And he kept taking his stupid non prescription glasses on and off. I guess he thinks they make him look smart. He’s a bigger boob than I thought he was. Be ashamed to waste it. So why don’t you let me atone for our date the other night and share it with you? You want to pat me down? See if I’m wearing a wire?

That sounds very inviting. I

mean the wine, of course. Hey, you

too. Access soon? Yeah, my date and I, we didn’t exactly, you know. Hit it off. Unfortunate. We, we, we, we’re just gonna, uh, yeah. Um, what are you gonna do with the rest of your evening then? Me? Uh, probably just order a pizza. I’ve been listening to this podcast about, uh, embracing vulnerability. I read the book. A real page turner.

I guess I might you a question. Does it annoy you that I take my glasses on and off? I mean, they’re not prescription. My vision’s fine. I just thought they were kind of cool. Yeah, no, I don’t, I don’t think it’s cool to, uh, wear glasses if you don’t really need them. It’s kind of a phony affectation, so I’d probably just get rid of them.

Yeah, I guess I will. Uh, what are you guys doing? Going to the pub.

Oh. Wanna come? No, no, I don’t, I don’t want to intrude. Okay. But on second thoughts, I mean, the clam chowder would be pretty great. Let’s go.

There is one more thing I want to say. Okay. Come on, sit.

Listen, I know there’s nothing I can do about how Eric lives his life. But I love the life I live now. And I need to focus on you and our baby. That

sounds mature. I know. Must be the hormones or something, right? Do you know that hormones make you even more beautiful? Oh. Mm hmm. So, here’s to us. And, uh, Precious little babe.

Oh my goodness.

Hey. Hey. I said the doctor will be right in. Oh. Thanks for checking. Yeah. Mom, I didn’t mean to upset you about having genetic testing being done. I mean, if you don’t want to. No, no, I, I do. I want to. Anything that ensures our baby is healthy. That’s great. I was just worried about Nicole. I mean, I know we don’t get along, but she and EJ seem really happy about having this baby.

And after everything she’s been through, I mean, seeing this baby to term, I just don’t want them to have any bad news.

Bollocks. Forgot my phone.

What’s wrong? What’s wrong? Everything. Everything. Gwen is my best friend. She was a wreck when I got home. How do you think that makes me feel, listening to her say she thinks maybe you don’t love her, maybe there’s a problem? Okay, calm down, calm down. Gwen is not going to get hurt. On the contrary, Gwen is going to get very, very rich.

This can work out, this will work out for all three of us. Age old adage, Leo. But she doesn’t know. Can’t hurt her. Now can we please stop talking about Gwen?

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Don’t let me interrupt. Well, we didn’t know you were here. Yeah, uh, we haven’t had a chance to really be together. I’ve been working nights, so, uh… It’s okay. It’s okay. It’s just, um, I guess I’m a little down on romance after last night. Understandably. Lee, you told us your date was a disaster, but you didn’t…

Tell us why. What happened? For one thing, my perfect match tried to send me to prison.

Come on. I said I would buy you a drink and I meant it.

So you can gloat. Are you really surprised that I creamed you in court? I had an open and shut case against your brother. You knew that going in. Well, I was hoping that I could get a lighter sentence. After what he did to Paulina Price and her daughter? Giving Merrick Harver a head injury? There was no way.

Sit down.

Not gonna drink that. You have to let this go, Sloan. No, it’s not that. It’s just Then what is it?

I’m pregnant. Hey. Hey.

Tell me the rumors aren’t true. About me threatening Kristen with a gun? Yeah, it’s true. Brady, how could you be so unbelievably stupid? I

think Salem, of all places, would at least have one halfway decent criminal lawyer. It does. You’re not what I had in mind, Belle. Yeah, we need to talk. No, I need to talk to Harold about this open door policy in this house. I told him it was important concerning the father of your child. What about him?

You’re not actually going to let Brady go to prison, are you? Why not? What has he ever done for me?

I know. It wasn’t the wisest thing to do. Threaten Kristen with a gun, but Eric… Look, it was reckless, it was wrong, but I was desperate, okay? I needed Kristen to tell me where she stashed my kid. I get that, but you played right into her hands. I know, I know. It’s a bad situation. No, you only gave her ammunition.

To go after you.

Hey. I get it. I get why you did it. I’m worried about your kid. You were terrified that you might not ever see her again. And I… I understand that more now than ever. Why more than ever? Because I just found out that I’m going to be a father.

It’s good to see you again, Miss Walker. Thank you so much for taking the time because I know I’m But you are in demand, and now you finally get to meet the baby’s father, E. J. DiMera. Ingrid Sorensen. It’s nice to finally meet you in person. I’m sorry that I… Missed the first appointment and I was unavoidably detained.

No problem. You’re here now. I’m very glad to be, especially since Nicole has informed me how optimistic you are that she can carry this baby to term. I am, yes. And now that the pregnancy is more advanced, I can give you both a more clear view of the baby’s health and development. And, of course, we can also learn the baby’s sex.

Oh, well we decided to say no to that. We, we want to be surprised. And we’d be delighted with either a son or daughter. We just want the baby to be healthy. So, um, I’ll let you get on with your… Actually, Mr. DiMera, I’d like to start by examining you.

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

So you’re going to be a father. Since when? Can you congratulate me before you start the Inquisition? Sure, congrats, but I’m, uh, I thought Nicole’s baby turned out to be EJ’s. True. Nicole’s baby’s not mine. But Sloan’s

is. So, you’re pregnant. You seem surprised. I suppose I am. I had you down as the ultimate career woman. And I was. Then, I met Eric Brady. So this is his child. Right. Are you going to keep it? Why would I not? Well, you and Eric haven’t been together that long and this couldn’t have been a planned baby.

Actually, it was. Oh, are you surprised? Surprise because we’re not married? No, of course not. And who am I to judge? Well, we’re both very happy. Eric’s wanted to be a father for a long time and it was just recently he thought he was the father of Nicole’s baby. But he isn’t. Nope, no he isn’t. BJ is the father of Nicole’s baby.

So let me guess, um, you got pregnant. To give Eric the baby that he didn’t have with Nicole.

I am not doing this just to make Eric happy. Having someone’s baby is a pretty serious favor. It’s nice of you to offer. I’m not being nice. I want this baby. Very bad. Both my parents are dead and Colin’s going away to prison. I just looked around and kind of had an a ha moment and realized I don’t have any family around.

So I decided to create one of my own. Okay. Well, congratulations. Thanks. I guess. No, I’m being sincere. Uh huh. No, you’re taking certain risks to get what you want, and I, I admire that. I actually wish I could do the same thing for myself. You want a baby. No, I haven’t that, that far ahead, but I just know that I’m alone, and I don’t care for it very much.

Mm. I used to have a family, too. Your idea of creating a new one, it has a certain appeal. So go for it. Well, I can’t do it alone. And you’re not seeing anyone? Uh, actually, I just started dating again. I had my first date last night. With Lee Shin. Oh, boy. How’d it go? Giant disaster. Tell me, what happened?

Started out alright. And then, um… Well, he caught me. Taught you. Doing what?

Melinda Trask tried to trick you into a confession? While she was recording us, yeah. Did her damnedest to try to get me to admit that I was behind the plot to kill Stefan DiMera. Isn’t that my contractment? It would have been, if I’d done anything wrong. I’m completely innocent. As you know. Wow, you were right about that being a bad date.

Yeah. The odd part is that, before I figured out what she was up to, I mean, we were actually hitting it off. Bonding over the, the food and the wine, our shared issues with Stefan and Gabby. Sounds like you have a fair amount in common, then. Yeah, um, I suppose so. So maybe you should give her another chance.

So, you and Sloane are having a baby together. Congratulations, man. Thank you. I’m really excited about it. You know, actually, I’m more excited than I thought I would be. Yeah, yeah, I’m sure you are. I just, I just hope that, um… You hope what? Don’t. No, no, no. Don’t listen to me. No, I’m in a bad place. I don’t say what you’re gonna say.

Come on. Right. All right. I hope that you are seeing Sloan for who she is, and I hope that you aren’t disappointed when it all goes wrong. So, I, I, Sloane is nothing like Kristen and Brady. Bad things happened to her and she lost her way, but she’s a good person. Okay. Then, then I am, I am happy that you two are going to be raising this child together.

Thank you. That’s great. Because I’m going to be leaning on you for advice. You’re going to lean on me for advice? Yeah. I don’t think my advice would be that helpful. I mean, I’m the guy that just threatened Kristen with a gun, you know? I’m the guy that just threatened to kill her. Yeah, it was just a threat, right?

I mean, come on, you were desperate to find out what she did with Rachel. You want to know the worst part? Rachel heard me say it. Oh, no. Oh, yeah. Were you able to convince Rachel that you didn’t really mean it? Obviously not, because Rachel was the one that called the cops. No, Rachel. Yeah, no, I’m looking at, uh, Attempted murder charges, man.

Oh, my God. Hey. Hey, you gotta get through to her. Can you convince her to retract her statement? That statement must be the only thing the police know. Eric, Eric, she, she, she, she told the police that she heard me threaten to kill Kristen. Yeah, and you can say you didn’t really mean it. What, what, what would she do?

Is she, am I supposed to have her go to the police and say she was lying when she actually wasn’t? What kind of father would, would, would make his kid do that? Father? What kind of father are you in prison? Eric, even if I ask her to change the statement, I’m really not sure that she would do it. She’s under Kristen’s control that much?

Seems so, yeah. Maybe she called the police on you. I know she had no idea what she was setting into motion and how they’re basing her statement by arresting you? Come on! It’s not just her statement, Eric. It’s also the fact that Kristen backed it up. Of course she did.

Okay, so what to do? Belle’s talking to Kristen right now. And I’m hoping to God she gets through to her. I’ll give you one thing. You got guts. But I asked you last night to salvage Brady and my… shared custody agreement, and you turned me down flat. And now you want me to help you get him out of this? Okay, I was angry on Brady’s behalf when I turned you down.

Okay, well, guess what? I’m angry on my behalf because I thought Brady and I had a deal. And then he pulled a gun on me. Brady was out of his mind with worry about Rachel when he turned you down. And you know what? You would have done the same thing if the tables were turned. You know what? Probably, Belle.

Probably. But it wasn’t me. It was him. So tell me this, Kristen. What exactly do you get by sending Brady to prison?

You want to examine me? In a manner of speaking. I’m just trying to get a full picture of your child’s health, which means we have to consider several factors. Ah, yes, I understand. Of course, of course, whatever you need. Which probably doesn’t involve jumping up in the stirrups, right doc? No, it doesn’t. I just need a sample of your DNA, Mr.

DiMera.

So you think Brady might actually be prosecuted? Attempted murder might not be a serious charge in DiMera land, but it is to the law. Come on, Kristen. You don’t really believe that Brady would have pulled that trigger on you. I don’t. Well, he wasn’t holding a gun against your ribs, Belle. Okay, what Brady did was reckless, and it was wrong.

And you pushed him to it. Oh my god, you gotta be kidding me. I did not kidnap Rachel. Yeah, you keep saying that. But there is blame here on both sides. So tell me, Kristen, what matters most to you? Having the upper hand with Brady? Or actually doing what’s in your own child’s best interest? Because that would be having both parents a part of her life.

Right? Mm hmm. So, what do you want me to do, Belle? Why don’t you just come out and say it? I want you to recant your statement to Detective Hunter, and not send the father of your child to prison.

Listen, I didn’t realize how bad things had gotten between you and Kristen. I just, I wish there was some way I could help. Look, man, I got myself into this. In more ways than one, so I’m gonna have to find a way to get my ass out of it. Yeah, well, listen, if you can think of anything that I can do, all you have to do is ask.

I appreciate that. Listen, um… I gotta, gotta get going. Sloane’s got her first appointment with her obstetrician and I don’t want to be there for her, okay? I get it. I get it. Hey, uh, how’s, how’s Sloane with all this? In what way? You know, I know you’re happy about the pregnancy, but honestly, she doesn’t really seem to be the kind of, you know, settling down type.

Yeah, I don’t think so either. But the pregnancy was planned. It was Sloane’s idea. Really? Yeah. Well, she saw how disappointed I was when we found out that Nicole’s baby wasn’t mine, and she knows how much I wanted to be a father. I mean, she wants kids, too. Especially after losing both of her parents and, you know, her brother.

Going to prison. So, she was kind of motivated to get pregnant. Initially, anyway, because of me. Wow, it’s actually pretty selfless of her. Yeah, she must, uh, obviously love you or something. Well, I love her too. So while you were on a date with this guy, you tried to record him confessing that he wants Stefan to be our dad?

Yep. Wow, and I thought I was ballsy. Well, it’s not something that I planned to do. I didn’t even know Lee was the man I was meeting until he showed up here. I’m sorry, I don’t follow. Uh, we were set up by a matchmaker and he and I were actually getting along in spite of the fact that I tried to send him to prison.

Wow, and that wasn’t, I don’t know, like an obstacle? No, it was when we first realized we were each other’s date. But, you know, we had so much in common and I found myself opening up to him and I was having fun. And I think he was too. And I think there was chemistry between us. And then I… And then you saw an opportunity to get a confession and jumped on it.

Yeah. And he caught on. Really quickly. And he ran out of here. I should have known trying to trap him was going to blow up in my face.

So if you were having fun and there was chemistry between the two of you guys, I mean, why’d you do it?

I’m sorry, did you just say I should give Melinda another chance? Okay, look, she shouldn’t have recorded you. Okay, that was obviously not a cool move. But, maybe she was just making an impulsive decision. You know, one that she regrets. And she’s been through a lot in the last few years. Been through what?

How do you know?

She had a daughter who was a nurse at the hospital. She had died in a freak accident. My God, that’s so sad. Yeah. And her name was Haley. She was a good friend of mine. She was, uh, She was smart, kind, and hopeful. But, she got her life cut short in a horrible way.

Losing a child must be the worst pain in the world. But that doesn’t change how I feel about last night. If I never see Melinda Trask again, it’ll be too soon.

You want my DNA? It’s nothing invasive, as I said. A simple cheek swab, that’s all. Um, but we already… We already did the paternity testing, so what more do you need to know? Uh, it says here that the hospital has DNA test results from Eric Brady, but nothing from Mr. DiMera. Why is that?

There is something that I didn’t tell you. Dr. Sorensen, when I found out I was pregnant, I was 99% sure that EJ was the father. But there was a slight chance that it could have been Eric Brady. I see. But once we ruled out that chance, we knew that… EJ was the father, obviously. Right, but I’d still like a DNA analysis on him.

Uh, why would you need that? I’d be looking for things like genetic markers for inherited diseases that you don’t have but could pass on to a child of yours. It would help me to know if an intervention would be necessary while the baby’s in utero. Now the goal of our appointment today is to ensure you…

Have a healthy baby. Well, we can’t argue with that, can we?

Yeah, I was taken aback when someone said she wanted to have our baby. Which goes to show you, people can change. They definitely can. Well, maybe Kristen will surprise you. I doubt that. But, I am happy for you. I know how long you have wanted this. And judging from the way your nieces and nephews feel about you, I think you are going to be one hell of a good dad.

Thanks. Tell me how things go with Belle and Kristen. I will. I meant what I said. I’ll do anything I can to help you. Thanks, man. But unfortunately… I think the only person that can help me is Kristen. I’m not sure changing my statement is the silver bullet you think it is. You see, Brady admitted that he wanted to kill me.

And Rachel heard him. Brady didn’t know if his daughter was alive or dead. He was at his wit’s end. And that’s what you’re gonna tell the jury? Yeah, it is. Because without corroborating testimony, Trask is gonna have a really hard time making that charge stick.

So what exactly do I get if I keep Brady out of jail? What do you get? Yeah. Are you talking about a deal? Well, he reneged on our shared custody agreement. I’ll change my statement if you get him to sign on the dotted line. Those are my terms. Well, if you do that, I’ll make sure Brady signs. Well, it’s gonna be hard, cause, uh, he tore it up.

Oh, I’m pretty sure I can get a fresh copy.

Great. And you really think that he’s going to sign? I think Brady’s gonna be very appreciative of what you’re doing for him, so yes, I think he’ll be more than willing to agree to the terms.

I don’t know what made me decide to record Lee. Instinct, maybe? I smelled blood and I just, I went for it. Yeah, I’ve been there a time or two. There’s just this part of me that just always needs to win, no matter what. And in this case, it overpowered my want to have a real human connection. I have to admit that when Lee stormed out of here, I was eating that lukewarm salmon alone.

I felt sad.

Look. I know Lee Shin might not be the most morally upstanding person. But, he sure is handsome. And he’s really rich. And as you saw last night, he can be pretty shrewd when he needs to be. What are you getting at? Look, I know that I don’t know you all that well, but… It’s occurring to me that he might be your perfect match.

Worth eating a little crow over? After last night, I don’t think eating any amount of crow would do it. I’m pretty sure he never wants to see me again. Okay. If you say so. I do. I went back to the matchmaker and she set me up with someone else. Ah! For when? Tonight. Matter of fact, uh, he’s meeting me here.

I’m really sorry. Your date didn’t work out. I know how much you want a fresh start after everything that happened with Kathy. I do. But I’m not giving up. Matchmaker’s already, uh, set up someone else for me to meet. Really? When? Oh, man. We should be there now. I’m sure you’ll be sad to see me go. Try to find some way to fill the empty hours, you two.

Good luck tonight. I hope this lady, uh, works out better. Well, as long as she doesn’t try to convict me of a felony. It’ll be a definite improvement

Okay, then I will have this sent to the lab, okay, and We’ll know the results soon in a couple of days most likely and now I’d like to do an ultrasound to get a look at your baby Oh, that’s, uh, that sounds wonderful. Be right back. Okay.

Oh my goodness. Are you excited? Very, very, very, very.

So, okay. You’re meeting this guy with a full martini under your belt. I can handle my alcohol. Yeah, no, me too. Me too. You know, once upon a time, I can’t now, but that’s okay. Just gotta take care of the bun in the oven. Speaking of, I have my first prenatal appointment today. Oh, well, I hope it goes well. I think it will.

I feel, I feel good. And Eric’s gonna be there too, so. Hmm. You know, this was, this was nice, talking with you. I think we should do it again sometime. Yeah, sure. I’d… I’d like that.

Give my regards to Eric. You know, I haven’t always seen eye to eye, but I know he’s a good man and I think he’ll be a great father. I agree. I think, I think so too. He’s very happy about the baby. Nice seeing you. I’ll, um, I’ll see you soon. Yeah.

Pasta primavera. From the other night. Two minutes in the microwave. Well, I really liked it the first time you made it, so. Thank you. Careful, it might be too hot.

No, perfect. Could it be hotter? Tripp, I just said it’s perfect. Okay, okay, I just wanted to make sure.

Hey, I was really sorry to hear about your friend Haley. Thanks. It was a total shock when she died like that. Are you guys really close? Yeah, you could say that. Um, actually… We’re married. Okay,

so how’d it go? Good news or bad news? Well, I hope you think it’s good news. What does that mean? Okay, I can make this whole thing go away and you won’t go to prison. What’s the catch? Kristen will change her statement if you agree to a shared custody arrangement.

So either I go to jail or I have to share custody with the maniac. Brady, you pointed a loaded gun at her and told her you were going to kill her and your daughter heard you say it. So you’re just not going to get everything you want. Alright, alright, alright, you… You’re right. So, if you sign this right now, Kristen will recant her statement.

Did he sign it? What is this? I’m sorry, did you two come here together? What difference does that make? Belle, if I sign this, there’s no guarantee that she’ll talk to the cops. Brady. No, no, listen, I’m not signing anything. Until she upholds her end of this crap bargain that you made.

Have fun in Statesville, Kristen. If I go, I’ll just grant custody of Rachel to John and Marlena, which would be within his rights. Fine. Fine.

What do you want, Kristen? D. A. Trask. Always a pleasure. I asked you what you want. I’ve been thinking about that statement I gave. It was pretty rattled in the moment, and I’m sure you understand considering the circumstances. But I feel like I over, I overstated things. What things? The point is, I would like to retract my statement.

I will not press charges against Brady. I still have your daughter’s statement. I’m sure once I explain to Rachel, she’ll feel as I do. So you were just wasting my time? I am so glad we understand each other. Your turn.

Okay. Okay. For a minute there, I you. Well, I was pretty surprised. I mean, you never told me you’ve been married before. It was just a way they could get a green card. Oh. Yeah, yeah, but immigration and naturalization, they don’t want Americans to be used by foreigners. You know, a way just to get into the country.

So we had to make it look like true love. And when we were doing that, uh, I kind of fell for her.

No wonder it was so awful when you lost her. Yeah, I definitely never forget her, that’s for sure. You know, but I tell myself that she’s at peace. And I know that she’d want me to be happy. And I am happy. I really am.

Well, thank you for the pasta. But now I have to get back to the office. Well, if you’re still awake when I get off duty, you wanna watch a movie or something?

It’s a date?

I hope Lee’s date works out well this time. He needs to find someone new. Yes. Too bad he wouldn’t even consider giving Hayley’s mom another chance.

I’m where you told me to be and this guy still has not shown up. Okay, okay. Just tell me again what I’m supposed to be looking for. Blue blazer. Got it.

It couldn’t be him. Not again. Could it?

Eric. Hi. Hi. How are you? I’m fine. I, uh, just had an appointment with the specialist. EJ was here too. Are you okay? She did a sonogram. And she said everything looks great but she wants to be extra careful, so she’s making EJ have DNA testing so she can be absolutely sure. It sounds like EJ found the right doctor.

He did. So what are you doing here? I have a doctor’s appointment. Oh, are you okay? He’s great. So am I. I’m pregnant.

Thank you again for coming back to Salem on such short notice. I had to put up with having a gourmet lunch served to me on your private jet. Poor me. Does that mean you could do me another favor? Depends what it is. It’s just Nicole. Who doesn’t want to know the sex of the baby, but frankly, I do. Now, I know this sounds frivolous, but when the time comes for us to decorate the nursery, it’d be nice to know if we’re going to be doing it with pinks or blues, you know?

How about yellow or green? We could do that. But still, I don’t suppose you could discreetly let me know when you know, boy or girl? I’m sorry, but Nicole is my patient. I can’t give out any information without her permission. Okay, then. You can’t blame the bloke for trying, though. And anyway, all that really matters is that I’m going to be the father of a healthy baby.
