THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

What the hell do you think you’re doing?

Feel. Hey Chad, is it really? You come here. Oh God, it’s so good to see you. Yes, I’m here. I’m really sorry about what’s going on with your dad. Yeah, me too. Thanks. That was ju just with Doug and Julie and. They were asking if I’d heard from you. You know, they’re, they’re upset about your dad. Of course we all are, but it’ll be really comforting to them that you’re here,

darling. You’re not eating, not hungry, but you’re okay. I mean, you’re feeling well. I’m fine physically. I’m fine. I’m just heartsick Doug. We, we just got past the anniversary of Abigail’s death and now this disappearance of Abraham. Yes. So much grief in his family. You know, today is, is Paulina and Abe’s first wedding anniversary.

Juneteenth. Yeah. A day of jubilation. And instead it’s, Hey, I hope y’all don’t mind. I let myself in. Eli. Eli. Good, Eli.

Happy anniversary. Abraham.

Oh dear Lord, please. Please let this be good news,

mama. What on Earth? Why are you here? Why am I here? I’m here because I know you need me.

Sorry, I’m late, babe. I had a cold yellow when I was running out the door. So what you been up to? Well, I was watching those old soap tapes of yours when all of a sudden I remembered something very important. Oh, uh, what do you, what do you mean? What did you remember? Don’t you have something you want to say to me?

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

Ooh, you look so good, handsome, tall, slender. Yeah. You look as though you could use a little home cooked food. I’ll just go make you a plate right now. No, no, grandma, it’s, it’s okay. I don’t, I don’t need to eat right now. Don’t fight it, grandson. It’d be a losing battle. Okay. I’m let, let’s do it. Okay. Thank you.

I’ll be right back. Hey, hey, hey. Hey. Wow, you just got here in time. I was about to break out the chocolate truffles to cheer up your grandma. Hmm. But you are the perfect bomb. Oh, I don’t know. She loves her truffles. So, uh, why didn’t you tell us that you were coming? I wanted it to be a surprise. Ray and I, we’ve been in constant contact about a, but it’s, it’s just hard with me not being here.

So I had a couple days off, so I figured I’d show up and see what I can do to help. Well, you’ve helped already just by being here. Oh yeah, darling. Ooh, thanks. Thank you, grandma. You’re welcome. So where are my beautiful, great-grandchildren? Uh, they’re with my mom in DC but I, I promise next time I’ll bring ’em with me.

It won’t be months and months from now, I hope. No, no, no, no. I’ll bring it back soon. Hopefully Abe will be here as well. Yeah, well, we’re all praying for that, but, but unless, unless you’ve heard something from Ray or, or somebody, the, the police don’t have any leads. No, no news, unfortunately. But I did hear that they ruled out Colin Bedford as a suspect.

Yeah. Well we heard that. Abraham is such a good and decent man. You know, he does not have an enemy in the world, and for him to be kidnapped, actually, he still hadn’t recovered completely from that last assault. Why? Oh, why Lord? Who in the world would do this to him? Well, what do you mean, Abe? What? What would I have to tell you?

Well, I was sitting here watching. Body and soul and Cassandra and Rhett were celebrating their second anniversary, their second anniversary of their fourth wedding. That is, And all of a sudden came back to me. What did Paul, today is our wedding anniversary, isn’t it,

baby? I wish I could say happy anniversary and happy Juneteenth too. But I know this is a tough time for you, so I’m just gonna say I love you and I’m here for you. Bless your heart. That means so much to me. But mama, why’d you call and tell me you were coming because I wasn’t gonna let you talk me out of it.

Besides, I had to see with my own two eyes that my baby was okay, well, she’s a lot better. Not a choice.

I had these fires printed. I wanted to do something to help find your stepfather. Yeah. Well, Abe is the mayor, so everyone pretty much already knows he’s missing. So all of this is just performative. Chanel, wait, look, I know I should have said this yesterday at the hospital, but thank you for what? Calling the cops and saving me from Colin.

And I’m sorry about all the terrible things I said about you. Why did you say them? Because Colin was listening to every word I was saying. He had a gun. I had to say whatever I had to to save your life. And yours. Look Chanel, I didn’t want you to get hurt. More than I already hurt you.

Yeah, I wish I would’ve known you were coming. I would’ve asked EJ to send that yet. Uh, no. It’s, it’s cool. I actually bought a ticket months ago. My dad is supposed to give this big speech for the Juneteenth celebration and, um, my wanted to surprise him. Right. Well look man, it’s really good to see you.

Yeah. And I’m sure it’ll mean a lot to Melanie.

Hey. Hey. You okay? Yeah. Um,

my dad, his office asked me to deliver a speech form and for some reason I said yes. What do you mean? I think that’s a great idea. He sold your dad. Yeah. It’s just that it is supposed to happen in like half an hour and. There’s no way that I can do it.

I tried to tell Dad’s staff that someone else should give the speech, but line is unavailable obviously, and they didn’t wanna ask Paulina, so, so why not you? Because I’m terrified of public speaking. It’s basically my biggest fear. I mean, I, I, I start to sweat, I trip up on my words. I, I, my hands are clammy just thinking about it.

Yeah, I know the feeling. You do. Yeah. What do you think? You’re the only person that hates public speaking? No, but I’ve seen you give speeches before. You seem totally cool. Yeah. Maybe if it’s about, um, business or something.

A year ago. A year ago. Um, I, uh, I had to give the eulogy at Abby’s funeral and the pressure, you know, I mean, it was just,

I had to be strong for the kids, first of all, and, and I wanted to, you know, I wanted to use the right words to honor their mother’s memory. She got through it. Yeah. But I wasn’t sure that I would. And then I walked up there and I looked around and I saw all of my friends and family, all of their faces, and I knew that they were there with me and Abby was too.

And then this, yeah, this calm just kind of washed over me. And then, like you said, I got through it and you will too today. You know you’re gonna be the one up there at the microphone, but. You bet your ass. I’ll be there. So Ani and Paulina, Brandon, you know your whole family, your mom, the most important.

Your dad, he will be there too. Yeah. Yeah. I know. I just, I don’t wanna disappoint him. I don’t wanna let him down. You mean you couldn’t if you tried? You want what? Let him down. Some boring white dude drawn on about the history of Juneteenth. Yeah. Sad. Yeah. You’re gonna make your dad proud. Okay. I know you are.

Okay, I’ll do it. But I need your help.

How’s Lonnie doing? I mean, I, I know you’re busy. You, you have the children and you have your job, but. You must get to see her sometimes as much as they’ll allow me to. She’ll be eligible for parole in six months, so hopefully she’ll be home by Christmas. Oh, oh, that would be wonderful. Yes, it would.

Apparently she’s doing incredible things in there. She’s mentoring prisoners, changing lives. It’s, it’s, I don’t know, it’s just so many women in prison. They just need someone to believe in him. Lonnie is a wonder. We’re always so proud of her. Yeah. Oh, I know that when she’s released, she won’t be able to be a cop again, which is a damn shame because she’s, she’s one of the best, but whatever she does, I know she’ll be great at it.

I am counting down the days until she’s home again.

So I hired Black Patch investigators to work with the police. Oh, they’re the best. And they, they happen to be Abe’s closest friends, but they, they still haven’t found anything. Well, baby. Now you told me Abe was dealing with memory loss. You think maybe he could have wandered off? No, I brought that up. But Mama Abe is the mayor.

He’s one of the most recognizable men in Salem. If he was wandering around the streets, someone would’ve called a tip by now. Unless now don’t you go to that dark place. You hear me? Don’t go to that dark place. Especially not today. Come here baby. Come here.

Now you’ve listened to me, you’ve gotta have faith that your wonderful husband will be found and that he’ll come back to you. Okay.

How did you know that it was our anniversary? Are are, are you starting to remember? No. No. But, uh, Chanel your daughter, I. When we were in the hospital, she told me that we were married on Juneteenth. That’s today, isn’t it? That’s right. So today is, is our wedding anniversary. Of course. I wasn’t hiding it from you.

In fact, I was planning a special dinner for us later. How many years are we celebrating? Just one. One. So this is our first anniversary? Yes. Mm-hmm. It is. Uh, you know, we had both lived such full lives before we found each other. I know it’s only been one year, but I feel as if I’ve loved you forever. Can you tell me about that day?

How dog? Yeah. What would you like to know? Was it a big wedding or a small one? It was there. Do we, do we write our own vows? That’s just tell me everything. I mean, maybe you can spark some memories.

Look, before you met me, I know Colin convinced you that my mom and I were these evil people who he needed to pay back for what we did to his family. But then you did meet me. I gave you a job and we were friends. Or at at least I thought you were my friend. I was. But you still did everything he told you to do.

You went along with his plan to destroy our lives. Look, I know it doesn’t make sense and it doesn’t even make sense to me. Okay. But I’m working through it. I went to go see Dr. Evans and she made me realize that. I was in an abusive relationship. Colin abused you? Yeah, emotionally. I mean, he never hit me or anything, but he had this power over me that I can’t even explain.

And I know it sounds crazy to somebody as strong as you. Not crazy really. When I was with Colin’s father, he was my professor and well, He had all the power in our relationship, and even though it was totally consensual, there was just something that made me feel like I had no choice but to be with him.

It’s always easy to see looking back at it, right? And I know that my situation is way different from yours, and I’m not trying to make any excuses for what I did at all. But you and your mom were so good to me, and a part of me felt like I needed to stop Collin’s plan right then, but, but you didn’t. But I didn’t know how Chanel, when he asked me to seduce you and then break your heart, look, I didn’t think that it would happen.

Okay. I didn’t think that you would feel for me, cuz I knew I wouldn’t feel for you. I never even thought about being with a woman before Chanel, but when we got close I did feel something.

You want me to believe you had real feelings for me? Is that what you’re saying? Look, look, no, I don’t know. I don’t know what I’m saying. Chanel, I, I just knew that I didn’t expect to feel so connected to you. Okay. After that, I knew I had to stop lying and I just had to tell you the truth. Yeah. Or are you sure you weren’t just trying to get out of sleeping with me?

I don’t think so. Look, before I left Colin that day, I made him promise me not to hurt you or your mom. Yeah. I guess he wasn’t keeping that promise. No. Unfortunately not. Look, when I saw him on top of that roof pointing that gun at you, I knew I couldn’t let him. Everything after that, I don’t know it. It was a blur on instinct.

I lunged at him, and before you know it, I was falling off the side of the roof. You saved my life and you almost lost yours in the process. Look, I can’t, I can’t take credit for that. Okay. Cuz I know that I could have stopped it way earlier. Okay. But you did stop it and could have been worse. A hell of a lot worse.

He was gonna kill me and then he was gonna kill my mom next. So I owe you a thank you.

Why would you want the gory details of our wedding day? Why were they gory? I mean, weren’t they happy memories? Oh, yes, yes, of course. I mean, well, the wedding part was amazing. It was perfect. But right after we said I do, our daughter confessed to murder. What? Chanel killed somebody. Oh, no, no. Chanel’s my daughter.

With my ex. I’m talking about our daughter Lonnie.

Why am I just hearing about this? I haven’t wanted to overwhelm you with details since When is having a daughter a detail, Helena, why is this the first time I’m hearing about her daughter and, and why haven’t I seen Lonnie? Well, because she’s in prison. In prison. I’m sorry, I just didn’t wanna spring all of this on you at once.

Well, do I have any other children I don’t know about. Yes, actually. You have a son.

All right. So, uh, what do you, uh, do you need some help writing your speech? No, I, I have the speech my dad wrote, but there’s another way that you could help me. Okay. Whatever you need. So, um, back in the day, my speech therapist used to have me line up all of my stuffed animals and just practice having conversations with them.

Okay. So you will, I can go back and get some of Thomas and Charlotte’s stuffies for you. No, I I, I’m kidding. I’m kidding. I’m kidding. You want me to be your audience? Yeah. If, if you wouldn’t mind, fine. I would be honored. Okay,

you grab this.

Good afternoon. I’m Mayor Abe Carver. No, I’m a mayor. Hip Carter’s son, Theo. I know. He wishes you were here today. But I wanna start by talking about what brings us together on this special day

on June 19th, 1865, where it finally reached Galveston, Texas, that the Civil War had ended two months earlier, or importantly, it was a day that the last enslaved people in the United States learned that they were free. That next year, the first Juneteenth celebration was held in Texas. But soon as the families moved elsewhere, they took that tradition with them,

uh, Juneteenth spread all across the country. And finally, last year, Juneteenth became a federal holiday. This day has been known in various parts as Jubilee Day. Emancipation Day and even Black Independence Day. It’s also the day that I, um, no, it’s also the day that my dad calls his anniversary. And today as every day, we celebrate with a mixture of joy, for freedom, sadness, for our years of hardship, and for those still struggling.

I know for a better, brighter future.

And darling, you gotta have faith. Faith in the good Lord. I do have faith Mama. In both the good Lord and in Abraham. Well, you hold on tight to that faith. Okay?

And honey, I know this is supposed to be a day of celebration, but as I recall, your wedding day was not exactly a day of sunshine and roses. No. No it wasn’t. It was the best day of my life and it turned into one of the worst when Lonnie got arrested. And what does that tell you? That today isn’t just about celebration.

It’s about taking the good with the bad, looking to the future, and holding onto that faith. You must never stop believing that a will come back to you. You hear me? I hear you.

Please, no need to thank me. I’m just really happy that you’re okay.

Well, um, I should go. I made teacakes for my mom’s anniversary. Oh, wow. I’m sure she’ll love them. I used your recipe. So does that mean the bakery’s back open? No. No. Um, but I’m working on it. I’m, I’m sorry. Yeah. Well, for what it’s worth, I hope Abe’s found soon, and I know you don’t think it’ll do anything, but I’m gonna continue to knock on some doors and I’m gonna hang up some flyers.

Oh yeah. Look, I’m not gonna give up. Okay. Chanel,

oh my stars. Look at the time I promised Thomas and Charlotte I was gonna take them to the park to meet Chad for the Juneteenth celebration. I’d like to go with you, sweetheart, but I’m still feeling a little wiped out. My darling here went 10 rounds with the flu last week, and one as always. Yeah. See, thank God.

Would you like to come with me to the park? Yeah, absolutely. Maybe Paulino will be there too. Yeah. You know, Abraham was supposed to give the speech today, wonder who’s gonna take his place as if anybody could

to quote President Obama. Juneteenth has never been a celebration of victory or an acceptance of the way things are. It’s a celebration of progress. It’s an affirmation that despite the most painful parts of our history, change is possible and there’s still so much work to do.

On behalf of my dad, we thank you. Happy Juneteenth. Happy anniversary that

it’s perfect. You’re gonna the park.

I’m ready.

Mama, aren’t you supposed to? Big mama. Hi. Hey. Hi. I am so happy you’re here. So good to see you. It’s good to see you too. We have missed you so much. Well that’s good because I missed you too and I know it means a lot to mama that you’re here. So please tell me that you’re staying for a long time. Just a few days.

Oh, well, we’ll have to see if we can talk again into staying longer, a lot longer. We will definitely work on that. And aren’t you supposed to be at the Juneteenth celebration? I was gonna bring some teacakes by afterward, sweetheart. My heart is just not in it today. Not without Abraham. What’s my son’s name?

His name is Theo. Theo. Why haven’t I seen him? Well, um, he lives out of the country, uh, South Africa actually. Oh, he, he is even calling me. Does he know I’m injured? Does he, I mean, I would at least,

what, what, what is it? I think, uh,

I think I’m close to a memory. Well, don’t push it, baby. You don’t wanna upset yourself and delay your recovery. Um, don’t worry, I’ll get that you just rest.

Hello, may I help you?

Hi, I, I’m so sorry to bother you, but I’m, you know what? I don’t want my cat to come out, so let me come outside with you here in the hallway there. That’s better. How can I help you? Um, I’m trying to find a missing person. So what, you just canvassed the whole neighborhood? No, actually, my sister’s a cop and she scrubbed on this address when she was following up on leads.

So I thought I’d start here first. Huh,

mama. I know it’ll be tough for you, but. You should probably get out so that you can not stay here staring at us in these four walls all day. You know she’s right, Paulina. I know, but sitting here is staring at my sweet mom and my daughter and these four walls. That’s all I’m feeling up to today.

I get that. Okay.

Julie. Hi. Hi. Chanel. Oh, oh, oh, my Miss Olivia. Oh, what, what a beautiful surprise. So good to see you. So good to see you too, Julie. Thank you. Well, I, I, I know I’m interrupting a lovely family gathering, but. Colleena. I wanted you to know we missed you at the park. I know I wanted to be there, but, oh, I understand.

I do understand. So, I brought something back for you from the park, Julie, now come on. You didn’t really have to do any Thank you.

Hey. Oh. Oh. If you didn’t come to the party, we bring the party to you. Oh, so. How was the Juneteenth celebration? Oh my God. It was, it was, uh, amazing. It was so moving and I ran into, uh, to Theo before, and he was so nervous, uh, to give Abe speech, but as soon as he got up there, his, his whole energy changed.

His Brilliant. And he was channeling his father. Exactly. Yeah. It was just, it’s just really nice to have something to celebrate this week. Yes. Julie reminded me that this was a anniversary of Abigail’s death. Yeah. Yeah. I decided not to mention to the kids, but like I said to Julie, you know, I, I’m, I’m pretty sure they knew.

Well. Children always understand more than you think they do. That’s exactly what Julie said. And though your precious kids have lived through a terrible loss, they still are spirited and altogether delightful. And Chad. That is a credit to you.

You know what? Before I forget, Lonnie asked me to give you one of these. We love you, Pauline. Excuse me? Can I get one of those? Oh, now you know I’m gonna give you a kiss. Big mama.

I missed you. It’s good to see you. It’s good to see you, and it’s good to see you too, sister in-law. Hang right back at your brother-in-law, Eli. Thank you. Thank you for being here. Thank all of you. Hey, where else will we be? Think mommy, you know, maybe you are right. Maybe I did need my family and my friends around me.

Maybe. Of course I was right.

Is there room for one more? Oh.

Oh, well, the commissioner came to question me because I was on duty at University Hospital on the day that, uh, uh, mayor Carver disappeared. Apparently, I was one of the last people to see him before he went missing. Oh, oh, really? Did you notice anything suspicious at all? No, no. As I told Commissioner Hernandez, I saw nothing.

It’s so wonderful. Haven’t you all here? I just only wish that Abe was here to see all the people that he loves coming together like this. Well, maybe he can’t see us, but I believe we can make him feel us. No, I do. Let’s all gather around. Oh goodness.

Abraham Carver, we know you’re out there. I want you to know we love you. We miss you. So much, oh, do we ever? And my precious, precious husband is me, Paulina, your wife. And I want you to know no matter where you are, I feel your love and send you mine. And may you never, never leave my heart.

With this ring, I,

I gotta say I am feeling pretty good about this hand. I’m glad to hear it. I know you got a lot better things to do than just babysitting me. Yeah, I was gonna say the same to you. Well, I don’t, and I, Chad, I can’t think of one thing I’d rather be doing than just hanging in with you. They don’t, in that case.

Jen

man, foiled again, I’m gonna beat you one of these days. We’ll see you about that. Yeah. I may, uh, manage you to be the ripe old age 125, but I’ll beat you. I’ll do my dinges. Okay, well one more unto the breach. It was great. Great to see Eli again. Wow. And it lifted Julie’s spirits. Yeah. I’m sure it’ll lift Paulina’s spirits too.

You know, wherever Abe is, I hope he can feel all the love his family is sending his way.

You know, it’s been way too long since you sent me pics of my, my grand babies. Paulina, I just sent you pics yesterday. Well, what about today? All right, everyone. Now Miss Olivia and I as the two matriarchs of this family, wanna propose a toast? We do. Of course we do. Now, we all know today is a mixed bag.

It’s Juneteenth great celebration, also a great celebration for a very important anniversary. But we are all missing Abraham, something fierce. Fear. You know, I’ve known Abraham Carver longer than anybody else in his room.

And I know that he would want us to go forward with a celebration and he’d be so proud and honored of the speech you gave in your father’s name today, and all of the town turned out to give their support. Today. Can, can I say something? Oh, please. I wanna make a toast to all of you for being here to love, support, and celebrate my brilliant, powerful mother on her anniversary.

Oh, her love and faith are what’s gonna bring Abe home. Happy anniversary, mom. Yeah,

happy anniversary.

And this time next year, we are all gonna be meeting together in this room with Abraham to celebrate your second wedding anniversary. Amen. Abraham, wherever you are,

we know that you’re thinking of us just as we are thinking of you

Rain. Ivy, we with this Ring Ivy, we.

Sorry about that darling. Sorry, it took so long. I was a door-to-door salesperson. I thought I’d never get rid of her. Hey, what’s the matter? You look like you’ve seen a ghost. You’re not my wife.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Sean, what are you? You do realize that it’s barely past breakfast time? I do. And do you have any idea how hard it is to find a place that sell liquor this early in the morning? Don’t joke about this. Listen, I wasn’t joking. The bottle that I had the other night just somehow mysteriously just disappeared.

So I had to get another one. Can I, can I please have my bottle back? No, you can’t. And if you’re wondering if I poured the other bottle out, I did. I confess and I would do it again. Son, listen, I get that you’re in pain about your dad. And that you’re tearing yourself out both of putting him in that coma, but this has got to stop.

Well, if it isn’t, commander Michaels didn’t expect to see you here. That was intentional.

So what were you doing behind the wall?

Dam it ej. I am more concerned about Megan killing Stephan than Nicole killing you. Why would she? What do you mean by that? For God’s sake? I was being facetious. Ohm supposed to be with Nicole right now at an appointment with a perinatologist, an expert in high risk pregnancies, one of the most sought after specialists in the country.

It was almost impossible to get an appointment, but I managed it. I am relieved because I thought Nicole had suddenly become homicidal. No, of course not. And honestly,

finding out that I was to be the father of her baby, I wouldn’t have predicted that it would mean so much to me. As you are well aware, she’s, she’s had a history of miscarriages and it’s all very heartbreaking, so her and I are very, very eager to find out what her chances are of carrying our baby to turn.

But now here I am with the appointment only an hour away, and our sadistic sister has got me tied up tighter than a rodeo calf. Yes.

Oh, Nicole, I’m so good you’re here. I just got a message from the perinatologist, so she should be here within the hour. Where is he? Jay? Is he around? Oh, you mean the man who’s supposedly excited to be the father of my child.

Thanks for letting me know. Is that about Colin guess? I tried to get him transferred to Bayview since he’s obviously in a bad state, mentally. Of course, Trask wasn’t going for it, no surprise. So he’s still at Salem PD and since he refuses to take my plea deal, probably end up at Statesville for the rest of his life.

Okay. What can I do?

Nothing. Except hold me.

Stop right there. Lucy, was he, excuse me. As much as I’m sure you would love them, they’re not meant for you. Oh, these are not meant for anybody because this is where they belong.

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

Pat, you are being extremely rude. Yeah. Well, at least I’m not a card carrying phony. Like this guy Unc Meister here is about a see through as as that underwear Xander gave you for Valentine’s Day. Look, I know you want me six feet under because I swapped out your priceless emerald for a phony. And now you’ve got double reason to want me dead because I am onto you.

Mr. Hoy toity. Mr. Too handsome for the room. This room. Anyway. Well, Gwenie here happens to be my truest and bestest friend in the entire world, and you have another thing coming if you think I’m just gonna sit back and watch you take advantage of her,

I was. Nearly getting acquainted with my famous family home, which is not your home. So what exactly are you doing here?

So you’re going to exile Megan permanently to a place she can’t ever leave and she’ll never hurt another soul again. It’s simple.

I’m done watching You hurt people.

Dammit. I have to get out of here. I have to get to that appointment. You know what? I didn’t. I didn’t know this meant so much to you becoming a father again, truthfully,

what means the most to me is Nicole’s happiness. I’ve got no pregnant twice before, as you know, and nevermind the drama surrounding those two pregnancies. That’s irrelevant. The important thing is that both times she miscarried and she was crushed. I don’t want her to have to go through that again. You really love her, don’t you?

I really do. Even if she doesn’t feel the same way about me, you know, EJ is the one who pulled strings to make this appointment happen, and now he’s not even coming. With no explanation, just some text that says, Ooh, whatever, you know, deal with it yourself. Okay. Those were not his exact words, but you know, I find it really surprising because EJ seemed really excited about this pregnancy.

Well, he is excited. Maybe I’m just overreacting. Maybe I’m, I’m hormonal, but I’m just trying to understand why he suddenly pulled a disappearing act. C, come on, gimme that. Come on, Val. Listen, I’m not hurting anybody. All right. Are you serious? Because the other night you were so wasted and ready to get behind the wheel of a car, and I’m just praying you don’t hurt somebody else.

I, Lord knows you’re already hurting yourself with all of this. Okay? Oh, you know, you’re right. Actually, you know what? Maybe I should just go on like everything is fine. I’m just gonna forget about the fact that I shot my dad, and I’m gonna forget that I put God sake Sean, no one’s asking you to forget it.

I’m just asking you to deal with it, but in the right way. Oh. Oh, okay. The right way. Okay. The right. And I’m assuming that you know what the right way is, so if you do, I’m all ears I’d to know. Okay. Well, it’s not drinking yourself into a stupor.

Listen, I just, I’m just asking you to maybe go talk to my mom. Okay. Maybe she can help you process all this guilt you’re feeling. You want me to go to therapy? Therapy be, I mean, come on. I mean, Bob is a lot cheaper, so he can stop joking about this. Listen, it’s, it’s not gonna be easy and it’s not gonna be immediate, but I do think that talking to someone about this will help give you some perspective, you know, so you’ll stop torturing yourself.

Maybe I want, maybe I wanna torture myself bell, huh? Do you not get it? Do I have to spell it out for you? Is it, I deserve to be tortured. I deserve to be miserable. That that is my punishment. You can’t mean that. I mean, every damn word of that.

Well, the doctor’s not gonna be here for a while, so there’s still time for EJ to get here. Yeah, of course. I’m sure you’re right. Yeah, listen, I need to get to my office, but I’ll look for you in a little bit, okay? Mm-hmm. Okay. Sounds good.

Oh, come on, ej. Dammit. Answer me pink.

Everything okay? Yeah. Hi, bill. I’m just, um, I’m just frustrated, you know, because I’ve been trying to reach EJ and he just finally sent me a text and I, you know what? It’s a long story and I’m, I, I, I just wish he was here. I’m sorry. Is this about you being pregnant? I, uh, I read about it in Lady Whistleblowers column.

Yeah, right. Well, it, it is so I guess the story is accurate then. And ejs the father. Huh? We did a paternity test. It’s definitive. Yeah. Wow. I guess that probably hit Eric pretty hard. Huh?

I must seem so needy to you. Hey, I know each other sometimes. God knows I’ve leaned on you a lot since we’ve been together. I’m here for you and I told you that

I just wanna be here. All day right in your arms. It’s fine by me. Don’t tempt me. I can’t. I have to be in court soon. Let me come with you. I can help you get through it. You would do that for me

with everything that my brother has done. I mean, the mayor still missing Abe’s or friends. He wouldn’t have even been in the hospital had it not been for Colin. He must be crazy to even wanna be seen out with me. And call me crazy. That was a two-way street. So was loyalty. You’ve been there for me. Like I said, why wouldn’t I be there for you?

Matt, I knew that you were trying to protect me, but you, um, I’m not trying. I’m succeeding Actually. You’re not, you’re not even being very clear right now. What exactly do you think is happening here? What, how, how, how, how am I taking advantage of Gwen? Oh, just stop. I know what you’re up to with your cheap grocery store flowers and your good manners, and your good looks and your good.

Okay, fine. I’ll give this one to you. Your great body. And you turn on the charm and suddenly the spectator is running this splashy front page sugarcoated profile about Salem’s latest Euro trash reject. In which you’re all, I know, I present as a narcissistic sociopath who wants to destroy the world, but deep down in just a cuddly teddy bear, God.

And this, this is what you’ve wanted all along, isn’t it? Von Liar, liar, pants on fire. All this great free publicity, Dimitri. Well, I will not stand idly by while you try and manipulate Gwen into giving you more and more, because lemme tell you she’s a real journalist and if she’s not gonna stand up for herself, then it falls on me.

Hmm.

Where does that leave us, Mr. Stark? I still sit down. Oh. Like you wouldn’t cheat, but go ahead. Kill me. If you must. At least I will go down knowing I was defending my best friend from your insulting and nefarious behavior.

My Commander Michaels, I’m insulted. Talk about baseless accusations safe act.

I know you have somebody in your sights right now. Who is it? Hope Kate, somebody else in town. Who’s in your way? Oh my look who’s come down with a terrible case of savior complex. So now your Salem self-appointed protector. Tell me, does the job come with a shiny tin badge, perhaps a Dakota rape? Somebody has to protect this town from you, and I’m proud to be the one to do it.

I owe the people a Salem that much after all the damage I did when I was under your control, and you were such a disappointment. Believe me, I’m about to become more disappointing to you.

You two,

what the hell is going on here?

Fuck mad. I simply stop by to express my thanks to Gwen for the story. That’s it. No ulterior motives, I swear. Right? Okay, Matty, you know you love best, right? And you know that I adore you, but sometimes you could be just a bit overzealous. And you can be dangerously dewy eyed and gullible at times. Gwen falling, shallowly.

Shallowly, is that a word? Shallowly. Shallowly. Pray to a man’s physical attributes, ignoring the fact that he’s a master manipulator with a heart of stone. Okay, that’s enough. Just Dimitri, as you recall. I’m sure. You remember yesterday I defended Matty and I think today he’s just trying to return the favor, return the favor way to downplay Guinevere.

I offered to die for you and he seems to forget that I am absolutely capable of taking care of myself, and that’s why your life has been such a better roses. You see Matty as a very loyal friend, so loyal. In fact, he sometimes passes the ability to take a hint. Not to mention my ability not to be fooled by a slick and slimy creep whose only attributed is that he looks like a cross between George Clooney and Ricky Martin.

Oh God. Look, look at the time, um, you have a deadline, don’t you? Yes. You have a column that you have to file now, right? Matty, right now I’ve got my eye on you. Tall, dark, and dangerous. Don’t forget it.

I’d like to apologize for my friend. He, um, sometimes has an overactive imagination. No, no. Um, actually I should be the one apologizing to you. You see? Now that we’re alone, I can tell you the truth that Sure. Odd little friend there. Well, he was absolutely right about me.

Uh, God. Sorry, Nicole. That was so insensitive. I’m just a little and no more than a little. Listen, I, I know it’s no excuse. I just had a really rough morning. Yeah. We’ll, join the club. What’s going on with you? It’s Shawn. Yeah, it’s uh, you heard what happened with his dad and how he was trying to save his mom and Yeah, I did.

And I also heard he is struggling with it. Yeah, that’s putting it mildly. And it’s just getting worse. So I thought I would bring him here to see my mom, but, um, you’re here alone. Well, I came anyway. Yeah. So I should probably go talk to her and get her thoughts on all of this. And, um, you don’t need to hear about my problems, but I am so sorry for what I just said about Eric.

I know it’s, it’s complicated. Okay.

Complicated. You have no idea.

So you think, Nicole, what she’s using you doesn’t have feelings for you? No, no, no. I’ve never said that. I’m, I’m just not confident that she loves me quite the same way that I love her. Why is that?

Oh, did you say the L word to her and she didn’t say it back, and how was that? Any of your concern? Well, just. Answer my question. It’s complicated. All right. Because of her past feelings for Eric Brady, though it might become less complicated now that he’s clearly moved on with that hateful lawyer that Baden noir of everyone of Salem.

You haven’t eaten a thing. Listen, I know you’re worried about your brother, but you got to eat so you can keep your strength up. This is not about Colin, it’s about you. Me. Did I do something wrong? No. No, you didn’t do anything wrong. It’s about the offer you made me earlier when you said you’d go to court with me.

Well, it really touched me. I wanna support you because I love you. I love you too, Erin. Which is why I,

which is why what? Which is why I don’t want you to forget about the offer I made about us having a baby together. I haven’t forgotten. Why are you bringing him now? Oh, well, because you just do so much for me and I wanna do something for you. And that’s very kind and loving offer, but you have so much on your plate right now, and I don’t mean literally.

Seriously though, given everything that I’ve gone through and what you’re going through right now, I don’t think it’s the right time for us to have a baby. Why the hell not?

It’s starting to feel like Grand Central Station in here. I’m gonna have to talk to the staff about upgrading the locks. Whoa. Well, so much for being done with Megan Hathaway, right? Hmm? That’s Megan Demara. Who is it that you’re gonna take out next? Huh? Is she trying to get you to go after my mom again?

Hey, just slow down. It’s obvious you’ve been drinking. You g know you sound like my wife. You got, you got it wrong. Okay. I’m here to deal with Megan, not make a deal. We’re on the same side. Okay. And who, wait, who is it that asked you to do that? I, I, because I, I decide. I decide. I decide who’s on my side.

Okay. Thank you very much. Are you sure that you were sied by Bo Brady? Because you are absolutely nothing like him. Pathetic, drunk in little mansion. You’re the reason that I’m like this. Okay. How is it that you. How is it that you’re not in prison? Hey, how is it that you are walking around here free? Well, my parents after everything that you did to them, huh?

My mom and my dad. You keep your distance. Oh,

wait a second. Who’s the one that’s pathetic right now? Hmm? Who’s pathetic? Wait, are you scared, Maggie? Are you scared? Are you scared that you’re gonna have to pay for messing up my dad’s head and turning him into a zombie? Huh? Is that what you’re gonna, oh, come on, Shawn, let’s calm down. If you tell me where your dad is, I can go and apologize to him now.

Oh, wow. That’s That’s hilarious. That’s hilarious. An apology. An apology. Talk about a little too late you sadistic bitch. You know the minute, the minute that I thought of it, you were here. I knew, I knew that I needed to come here and I needed to do something. Yeah, Maggie, you know what? You, you were gonna pay, okay?

That is enough out of you, detective, unless you wanna have a bullet between your eyes.

Kate, what are you? He is dropping. Sorry, not sorry about letting in. So what did you hear? Well, I heard enough, although you girlfriend may not be a favorite of mine. That’s beside the point, which is, which is. Obviously you are serious enough about each other to be talking about having a baby. Something I know is very, very important to you.

So if there’s an offer, genuine one, why would you wait? Because it’s a serious decision. It’s not something you just rush right into, oh, blah, blah, blah, blah, boring. Okay. I know you’re trying to do the responsible thing, but, but life is messy. I mean, it can be joyous. It can be thrilling, and then it can be depressing as hell.

You still have to plunge in and embrace the chaos. I mean, if you’re always using all of your energy and time to logic through everything, opportunities are just gonna pass you by and you won’t even notice because you’ll be so busy trying to do everything the right way, and all of a sudden you’re gonna end up on a boat in the middle of the ocean, God knows where, cutting the heads off fish and wondering why you didn’t do all the things you wanted to do.

Well, tell us how you really feel. Yeah, cuz it’s not that simple. Oh, I never hold back. Oh yes. It is that simple. I know about McCall and EJ Roman filled me in. So what so what That it didn’t work out. Screw it. Why don’t you make something else work out? Because if you wait, all you’re gonna do is get older.

I mean, if there’s something you want really, really badly, you need to make that happen, and you need to make it happen now.

Hey, speaking from experience, although it has been a while, um, When a woman isn’t expecting to hear, I love you, it does take some time for her to process it. Therefore, she might not immediately respond in kind. Well, obviously Nicole did not. But in her defense, I was unaware that she was pregnant. She was unaware who the father was.

I, well, I, I don’t know this if this would be comforting to you in any way, but, um, I wouldn’t say I love you too, under those circumstances, but Nicole and I have known the truth that I’m the father for several days now and she hasn’t said it. Yep. Ej, she doesn’t know if she’s gonna carry this baby to term.

And she’s in a very stressful position, said, just don’t expect too much too soon,

Kristen, if I didn’t know better, ID think you were trying to be helpful to your brother. Are you actually offering me emotional support?

And if anyone asks. I will deny it.

Oh, maybe today was the day that Nicole was going to say it. Dammit. If I hadn’t tried to warn Stephan, I’d be with her right now at the doctor’s appointment, finding out where we stand. Instead, I’m here waiting for the craziest mirror of all time to decide our fate.

I wouldn’t if I were you, commander Michaels, you stay exactly where you are. That’s a good boy, Shawn Brady, you pathetic little weasel. Here I am grieving the loss of my beloved bow, and all you can do is drown yourself in a bottle of booze. Not to mention looking around everywhere you can for someone else to blame for the bullet that you put into him.

I know. I know what I did and I hate myself for it. But you know what? But the truth is I would do it again. I would do it again if I knew that I was saving my mom’s life because I thought, I thought my dad was gonna kill her. I wish he had. You should have let him because we’d all be better off then.

That’s right. That’s right. Shawnee. Boy, back away and don’t you dare take another step. I waited years, years to have my beloved bow back. And you, you ruined it in an instant. Well, guess what? I can ruin you in an instant. Megan. I’m, I’m a witness. You pull that trigger and you go straight back to prison. You silly, silly boy.

There will not be a witness if I go this far besides. This man broke into my house and threatened me. I am well within my legal rights to end his pathetic little life right now. I just hope that it won’t permanently stain my carpet with your blood. It’s one of my favorites.

So you really were just using me to clean up your image, a very unsportsmanlike of you. No, no, no, no. I, I would, I would never do anything like that. What I meant was that your, um, well, your persistent and very, very loyal friend was right to assume that I did come here with, well, with an agenda, uh, with her.

Then what is it? The truth is that I haven’t been able to stop thinking about you since the day we met. That’s why I brought you these flowers,

Gwen, ever since I saw you at our family home, I just, I just felt something and ever since that day, I haven’t been able to get you outta my head and my heart. Forgive me, I, I’m sorry. I’m, I’m, I’m putting you on the spot. How could you possibly, well, how could you possibly have the same feelings for me?

What if I do.

You mean you, you actually have feelings for me.

You know, we had lunch the other day. I, I couldn’t believe how much we had in common, how alike we were. I. I thought I was being too obvious with my feelings. Honestly, must be my famous British Reserve for not showing it. Or maybe it was that my vision was just clouded by hope.

Well, I hope you’ve seen clearly now

watch closely.

Hey Sean. Come on. Stop Megan.

Okay. I know you think you got a case of self defense, but two dead bodies are gonna mess up whatever plans you have cooking, and we both know you always have something planned.

Good decision now. I’m gonna walk Shawn out. Shawn gonna walk out. You’re gonna put the gun down

and we all to fight another day. Let’s go. Sean, walk out. Let’s go.

Stupid Salem Protector. You are lucky. I need you for my plan. Still commander.

Which reminds me, what am I gonna do about those two down there?

Damn her. How long do you think she’s gonna let us stew down here? You tell me you are the one who’s been colluding with her. Okay. You know what? I owe you an apology for throwing in my lot with her. Well, in your defense, you had no idea. She made the bummer look like an older boy.

Ah man. When she cooked up that plan to escape from prison, I was determined not to get left behind. I just, it went along with the plan cuz I thought it was gonna be my only chance to get back with Rachel. I do understand that I. Oh, honestly, I mean, I didn’t mind plotting behind my siblings back. I mean, alls, alls fair and love and corporate governance, right.

God, I had no idea. She was such a crazy woman. Oh hell, she makes me look practically normal. Let’s hear it for normal. I’ll take that any day of the week. Hello? Hi Kayla. Can you sign a vj? No. I texted him a couple of times. Well, actually a couple thousand times, but I haven’t heard from him. He must be tied up somewhere.

Well, I’ll stay here with you so you don’t have to do this alone. All right. I just got another message from the doctor. She’ll be here in a few minutes. Oh, that’s great. I mean, at least we’ll find out one way or another what my chances are of carrying this baby to term.

You have to admit, I mean, everything Kate said makes sense. Oh, I always make sense. Excuse me. Okay. So if this guy needs further convincing, you’re going to have to handle that on your own because I have to go. But before I do, I have one more thing to say to you. You need to cease today. Okay? And I know that you know what that means, because you gave a sermon on that once when you were still wearing that funny little collar, remember?

Okay, look, I swear to you, I did not pay her to come and say all of that, but what do you think

here? Drink this. It’ll help.

After everything last night, I should have known you’d go after Megan today. I never should have let you leave like that. We could have shot you. Yeah. Well, I wish she had. Don’t say that. Listen, I would’ve taken that bullet. I would’ve taken that bullet because I deserve it. No, that is not true. Look at me.

Son, I love you.

I dunno, what am God’s name has she been doing up there this whole time? Who knows? Maybe she’s found someone else to terrorize. I just hope Stephen’s safe. Oh. God, I have a feeling that we’re gonna be down here for a long time. See? Might as well get used to it. There is no way in hell I’m getting used to this.

Oh, damn it. What Nicole? No, the appointment was an hour ago by now. She’s gotten the news about her pregnancy, good or bad, and I wasn’t by her side.

Nicole. Oh, oh. Hi. Everything. All right. Uh, yeah, you, I, I just came from that doctor that I told you about, the one that AJ arranged for us, the perinatologist, to see if I could carry the baby to term. Mm-hmm. What’d the doctor say? Well, I mean, as, as we suspected and, and of course I read up on this too, so I’m not really surprised, but there’s been so many changes since Holly was born and, and with the, uh, some new treatments, the doctor thinks.

The doctor thinks there’s very good chance. That’s great news. I’m happy for you and ej. Yeah, no, truly it’s, that’s wonderful news Nicole. And congratulations. We actually have some good news of our own too. We just discussed this a few minutes ago, but um, we’re gonna try and have a baby as well. Isn’t that great?

We’re gonna be pregnancy twins. It was thanks to Kate. Really, Kate? Yeah. She made me see that there’s no point in weighing around for something I really wanted.

So Shawn just stumbles in and blows up the whole thing. He was there to confront Megan. Obviously he was drunk, he was belligerent. Damnit. Damn it. So that’s it. You just canceled the whole thing. Well, I, I had no choice. She was gonna put a bullet in him. Well, of course she was going to put a bullet in him.

She’s a homicidal maniac. If we don’t stop her, she’s capable of putting a bullet in him. Hang on. Don’t worry. This is just a delay. When the time comes, I’m gonna go back and then you’ll never see or hear from Megan again.

All right, back to business. I know taking over the world was so labor intensive.

I’m so sorry, Glen. I hate to do this, but, um, I’ve been waiting on this, this business text.

Is it important?

Not as important as this? Oh.
