THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Come on one. I make heels and you walk so fast. I know, but Sweet Pits is about to close. I remember you saying how much you like the Flowerless chocolate cake. Huh? My watch must be slow. Where are they Just closed early. I mean, one of the owners was just accused of murder yesterday. Should have had dessert at the restaurant, Eva with no dessert.

I had a really lovely time. Yeah, it was our second first date. I wanted this one to be perfect. It was.

What are you up to now? Jen? What are you doing in Jakarta? Why don’t you return my calls?

So by the time you called me back, this is not just sister. Oh my God. Ro what the hell are you doing with my sister’s phone? I received your message warning me about Jin Van Only. It came too late.

Sorry, did you hear what I said? I have to tell you something. Sorry. I thought I saw a roach. I am getting paranoid

I,

something’s happened, hasn’t it? Something bad, something terrible, and I did it on an A P B out on a late model four door sedan drivers. A woman named Ava Vitali at 10 20 is a Salem airfield field. Victim’s name is Susan Banks. She might still be a passenger in the car, so I want all units to proceed with caution.

Ava Vitali is considered armed and extremely dangerous.

EJ is right behind you and seeing as he used to drive race cars, it’s only a matter of time before he catches up to. What’s the plan when he does

Eva? You’ve got no place to go now, but prison. Oh, better. Yes. Hell, and once I catch up with you, I get to decide what are you gonna do? You gonna drive all the way to Seattle. The Damaris will hunt you to the ends of the earth. You know that, just shut up. Okay. Shut up. I am trying to think. I didn’t say anything.

Oh, you know what? I, I, I, I’ll, I’ll stay. Shut up. But, um, just please, please Ms. Stanley, please just keep your eyes in descriptive. Romine, it would be horrible if we get to an accident. I be. Ej, look at you. You’re scared. EJ is the one who should be shaking in the boots, but you let him get the upper hand and now he’s chasing you.

You’re running away. Rule number one, vitals don’t run. You should have shot that son of a bitch when you had the chance. I am not scared. You’re crying like a baby because I lost everything, not everyth. Yeah, it’s true that Steve didn’t want you, Rafe didn’t want you. Jake Stead trip abandoned you to move across the country, but you, you still have me, mother.

I’m still here, and we can be together forever, just like I always wanted. And you can still win this. You can still hurt ej. You know what you have to do?

I don’t know. What the hell is he doing?

Oh my God. No, no, no, no, no.

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

Do you still want dessert? Maybe later. I am so glad I ran into you guys. She doesn’t mean that. No, really? I uh, just got my wedding invites. See, I wasn’t lying when I told you they were ready. Aren’t they great? The paper is Heritage Talk. They are lovely. And, uh, very heavy. You know, you can almost slit someone’s throat with these, well, hang on to them.

I’m gonna save me some time.

You want me at your wedding? Oh yeah. I wouldn’t want you to miss a celebration.

You still haven’t told me why. You have my sister’s phone. I saw all the calls you made to. You were right to be worried. She was here on a fishing expedition. What happened? Oh, she pretended that you’d sent her to me. She also pretended to know you’d used me to eliminate Stefan’s feelings for Gabby, but you told her she was wrong.

Unfortunately, I hadn’t received your warning yet. She knows. Damn. Where is she now at the moment? She’s somewhat, uh, indisposed.

You’re starting to scare me. Just tell me what you’ve done and we can figure out a way to handle it. I promise Sarah that I was a changed man, that her love changed me, but she finds out what I. She’ll never forgive me. She’ll see me. For what? I really,

I broke my word to you. I don’t understand. What do you mean you don’t have to do this? I’m not gonna tell. I promise. I promise I crossed my heart enough to. You know, the rest

hate.

I quit.

Bob,

I hope you two haven’t made New Year’s Eve plans because, well, if you have canceled them, cuz this party’s gonna be better than anything. You two can dream up. Okay, Gabby, listen actually, uh, Steph and I are probably gonna be out of town on New Year’s Eve. We were thinking of going someplace warm. Miami maybe.

Aren’t you? You’re working for Lee now, right? I mean that’s, that was a big step for you. No, I’m pretty sure Lee would want you at his wedding. I mean, for your sake. I hope you haven’t bought airline tickets. No. Cavi. We have not purchased any airline tickets. You can take this back and give it 20 of your friends because we’re not gonna need it.

Chloe is gonna be my plus one. How nice. It is nice when fate steps in and brings the right people together. Don’t you think

you have my sister in restraints and Johnny too? Two. Your sister and Mr. Damara arrived. But I didn’t know that. She engaged me in conversation inside the lab. Young Damara was hiding in the hallway and recording our conversation. I wouldn’t have known this was happening, but my equipment caused her microphone to feed back.

Surely. Now you understand that I had to detain them. How did she get onto this? H? How did Johnny get involved? All I know is what sound’s. Uh, destroying it will be simple enough, but that still leaves you with a problem. How to solve my sister and Johnny from going straight to Gabby? Once they get back to Sam, telling her everything.

Lucky for you. I haven’t been idle since you and EJ sent me to a Jakarta. I’ve been working on a robotics program that’s quite exciting. But to complete it, I require a set of human vocal chords. Two would be even better.

Are you talking about removing their vocal chords? Uh, it’s possible now, now you listen to me. I have a much better idea.

Wendy. Wendy. Wendy, are you awake, Wendy? Getting there. Um, what happened, see, I heard, was feedback from the mic. Yeah. My mouth was coming at me with a needle. Yeah. Yeah. I, uh, I found you, you, you were out cold. And then, uh, and Dr. Strange left, came at me with another needle. We. He spilled his guts. Not totally.

We still don’t know my dad’s involvement. God damn. Why do you have to figure out what we were up to? Because he didn’t get his reputation by being stupid. Yeah. When he comes back, he’s not gonna let us off with a warning, that’s for sure. I don’t think we can count on the local cops to come to the rescue.

We gotta find a way outta.

Yeah, this is Commissioner Ray Fernandez, a Salem pd. I’ve got a kidnapping here, so I thought I’d get the Bureau involved. Right. Yeah. It’s uh, it’s a high profile case. Victim’s name is Susan Banks, mother of ej d. Yeah, right. Those DMIs and the kidnapper is Ava Vitali of the Philadelphia Vitalis. Yeah, right.

I thought you’d be interested Now. Right now my 10 20 is the Salem Air Strip. I came here because e J’s brother told me that EJ was gonna be dropping off the ransom, and uh, well, it looks like things didn’t go as planned and Vitale may have taken off with Ms. Banks. Yeah, I got every one of my man out there looking for ’em right now.

Hold on a second. Yeah, I got one of ’em calling in right now. Yeah. What do you got?

Okay. How bad is it? All right, gimme the exact location and the crash, right? Damnit Eva. Dammit.

You quit your job, but you just started. You said it was such a great opportunity. Yeah, I know. A bit of a shot. I had no choice.

I still don’t understand the job. It just. It wasn’t what I was told it would be. Actually, there’s been a change of plans. I’m gonna go meet EJ and get the money and you’re gonna stay here. Stay here. Why to kill Susan? A boss asked me to do something that I knew was wrong and I thought of you and I. I just couldn’t go through.

Can you hear me? Don’t do it. Get my mother down there a kidnapped her. I know Tony told me David deliberately drove off the road bloody of mine. Get a damn hold to yourself. Okay? The rescue squad is on the way. They have a much better chance of getting your mother than you do. Okay? Look at that cliff.

Don’t see any chance getting down there, so I just stand here and do nothing. My mom is in that closet. Hey, thanks.

You told me that this rednecks company was legit. So what’s with your boss? Why is he asking you to do something dicey? Well, it wasn’t, he was a woman. None of that matters. Now I, it’s just like I said, she made the job had to be something that it wasn’t. I don’t were there anymore. What’d she want you to do?

Ah, I’d just rather not talk about it. I’m just trying to understand this thing that she wanted you to do that you didn’t wanna do. Was it unethical or was it worse than that? Right. Was it like cooking the books or something? Yeah. Yeah. Why that? Huh? That’s the case, and you did the right. And I’m really proud of you.

This is the chance. My mother.

My mother,

you know, we are in luck. I hear the chef is making his famous Creole tonight. Hopefully that will help us forget about our little run in with Gabby. I’m all for it. I just have a question. Okay. Raise your hand, Chloe. Um, why did you say that we wouldn’t dream of missing Gabby and Lee’s? Okay, well you weren’t there, so I don’t expect you to remember, but I certainly will never forget at Maya and Gabby’s wedding,

she played me as soon as we exchanged vows. She turned on me, kicked me right out of the house. So yeah, I can’t wait to see what she has in store for Lee. You think she’s gonna do the same thing to him? I don’t know, but I know she doesn’t love him yet. She’s making a big to-do about the wedding. I can’t wait to find out why.

Before we hang up, I want to know you are clear on what I want.

Mm-hmm. . Mm-hmm. , Justin. So we’re on the same page. Good. When my sister gets back home, she better be empty-handed.

Cubby, I didn’t, uh, hear you. What’s wrong with Wendy?

So you’re both of awake. You feel refreshed after your nap. You better let us go. Me brother will be mad as hell when he finds out what you did to us. Oh, I wouldn’t be so sure about that. What are you gonna do? Keep us strapped to these gurneys forever. I don’t take it too well when people come to me under false pretenses and then secretly record my conversation, oh yeah, that must really bother an honorable guy like yourself.

That recording you made. Four kitty. No one will ever get to hear it.

I demand to speak to my brother. Fred, you just listened. He and I had a very fruitful chat on your phone. Fruitful how he gave me strict orders to ensure that the two of you never tell anyone what you heard here today.

This will take a few seconds, so sit tight. Hmm. And I’d like to have a choice.

Thank you. Yeah. So you think Gabby doesn’t love Lee? Why? I don’t think Gabby is capable of loving anybody in case she’s too obsessed with money and. Why do you think she ended up with Lee? Hmm. Lee’s father is chairman of the board and can help her climb back on top of Tamara. The only question is, why didn’t Gabby just go for the old man himself?

He’s married. When has that ever stopped? Gabby cab? I dunno. I guess she figured maybe Lee would be more helpful and clawing her way back to the top. I don’t. And why is she so anxious to have you at her wedding? I don’t know. Well, I think I do. I don’t think it has anything to do with money or power. It has to do with you.

That was the head of the maintenance crew for the company Jet. You know how we suspected Wendy was playing hooky from work? Yeah. Well, she did it in style. She and Johnny commandeered the jet and took off for Indonesia. We Why? What’s in Indonesia? I could tell you if she would return my calls. And you have no idea why they went?

No, she and I were whenever that close. Right. So why is it that you were telling on the phone whoever that was, They needed to make sure Wendy was gonna come back empty handed. What are your faces gonna bring back?

So, Dr. Wolf, can I ask you something you can ask? I can’t guarantee an answer that will satisfy you. I’m trying to figure you out. Do you have like a soul feelings? Just anything good. Get to me. What do you mean a beautiful sunset? A great sushi Miles Davis. What are you trying to say? We’re here because of Gabby, because we think she got a rat deal from my brother, hey, and my dad.

Why would you come so far and put yourself in Graved danger for a personal means nothing to you? Because what happened to her is wrong. She just found out that Stephan is alive. He was the love of her life. Good. Now, Stephan wants nothing to do with. Hasn’t there ever been someone in your life meant everything to you?

Hey, maybe, maybe love is the farthest thing from your brain right now, right? But what if it just happens anyway? He was meant to be till someone like you screws it up. Doesn’t it scare you just a little bit? He’s messing with the natural order of things. It does, doesn’t it? Here’s one way you can make things right.

Just let us go. Just let us go and we’ll let Gabby know the truth. I let Gabby knows the truth. Little fools, she does know the truth. Only she’s forgotten. It sinks to this. You wanna find it just as effective on your memories of today, what’s in that needle? A handy little mixture. I invented, I call it c r s 17.

What does CS stand? Can’t remember stuff. . So you two will return to Salem believing that you came here for nothing. Is that so horrible?

There is one thing I’m curious about. Why did you say that quitting your job was such a terrible thing, Liz, isn’t it? You know how much I’ve wanted to find a good paying job, and I, I really thought I’d got it sorted and I was gonna be able to take care of you, killing me to walk away from that job. I feel like I’ve let you down.

Again, I know that you wanna be the provider, but it means more to me that you wanna make an honest living. You, you found out that this job wasn’t on the up and up and you quit. I admire that. Oh, don’t say that. No, I do. I love you so much. Oh God, Sarah, I love you. Mm-hmm. so much. I dunno what I do.

I need a blank.

It’s gonna freeze. Death. The fire’s almost out.

Freeze’s my mother. I’m sorry sir. No one could have survived that blast.

Even the most ambitious people are capable of falling in love, okay? Be that as it may, you know how many times I’ve told Gabby there is no chance for her and me. She doesn’t seem like the type to take no for an answer because that’s stubbornness. It’s all based in green for her, it’s not love. I saw her face after she saw us kissing and she was upset.

Right? So why would she react by waving her wedding invitation in her faces? I don’t know. But I’m sure she wish she wouldn’t have done that. . She is going to regret it even more the day of her wedding. You and I sitting front and center holding hands, we get it. Why do you wanna hurt?

No, I, I don’t wanna, uh, no, it’s not about that. I, I wanna get through to her. That’s it. I don’t care about Gabby enough to wanna hurt her, and I don’t care who she marries. Hey. I only care about you

saying I want Wendy to come back empty handed. That was just a figure of speech. I don’t want her shopping for souvenirs. I won’t her back in St. Lu tomorrow. Why though? I need people. I can count on not, not flighty girls who take off on a whim with a guy and, and go halfway around the world. What are you gonna do when she gets back?

Fire her on, give them a break. I mean, she and are actually kind of cute together. Cute. How? Oh, I ran into them in this square a couple days ago. I dunno. There was this energy between the two of them and I was curious, so I asked Johnny about it and he admitted that he has a crush on your little sister.

Oh, well. So let him take his fresh out to dinner. Not to Indonesia on his daddy’s jet. Johnny Damara is a spoiled little rat. No, someone’s a little angry. You’re angry. Yeah. I’m really angry. So what if Johnny took Wendy on a romantic getaway that was a little over the top? Just let them enjoy it.

Who wants to go first? Seems to be up to me. Mi mind catch, elaborate

Bear my manner. Ladies first, of course,

Oh, lucky for me. You have very good veins. Please don’t do this. Come, don’t say anything. You should have thought as the consequences before you lied your way into my lab. You’re going to feel a little pinched now. I forget your hands offer.

Well, I do know one talent that can make you a millionaire. If I was willing to share, which I’m not, stop it.

my time at rednecks might be behind me. But I did learn one thing I need to think about more than just money. When I’m looking for a job, I’m gonna be proud of the way I make my living.

Great job is out there. You’ll find it. It might be a bit tricky explaining why I can’t ask my old boss for a reference though. Yeah, but people leave jobs on bad terms all the time. It doesn’t mean that you have bad people, you’ll survive. I don’t wanna deal with that women anymore. So Do you want the shower first?

No, you go, I’ll be waiting for you. That sound to that

I’m sorry.

I wish the hell this hadn’t happened.

No reason to stay here though. Good morning. You can leave your car. I’ll have an officer take it to your place. You can ride with me down the headquarters. Headquarters. Why? I’m gonna need your statement ej about what?

Tony told me that Ava had kidnapped your mom, but he didn’t know the rest, so I’m gonna need that from you. Why he’s not gonna bring my mother back? Ej. Ava did this. I wanna make sure that we get it all into public record. I am not gonna relive this nightmare. For the sake of public record,

I’m going home. AJ

ej.

I am touched that you are standing up for my sister, but would you be so generous if you were still c e o and your new employee went for a joy ride on the company Jet? Okay, look, just think about it. What’s more important? Some wasted jet fuel or true love?

Gabby Hernandez, I do believe you’re an old softie. Hey, watch her. You’re calling old buddy.

All right. You’ve convinced me you don’t have to be consequences. She skipped out on work. Okay. Well just tell her that she’s crowned for a week. I promise not to overreact after all. No real harm was done.

You were great. You were so bad at yourself.

Yes, I promised you desserts. Uh, that’s okay. I’m over it. Me too. Although I hate to think we came back here for no reason.

Uh, I’m moving too fast on I. You’re still not over Brady? No, I’m not honestly, but I do wanna move on with my life. I mean, he moved Kristen into his house five seconds after we broke up, so to hell with both of them. Hmm. Well, if there’s anything I can do to help facilitate that transition,

Hi. This is turning out to be one of the best nights I’ve had in a long time.

oh my God. Ej, what happened?

Ej? Hey, are you okay? Ej, were you in an accident? No. Thought my mother was, she’s dead.

Oh, I love these. They look expensive as hell, but they’re still. That’s what I thought. Look, thought the box was already opened. Oh, I’m sorry. I couldn’t wait to take a peek. And actually I’m gonna, I’m gonna keep this one for myself as a reminder that this is actually happening. That it’s real. Oh, it’s real.

All right. But it’s December 31st, midnight. We’ll be a married couple. Yeah. Bringing in the New Year’s husband in life. I can’t wait

versus Lewis English. Dude, what do you think you’re doing? But you may have been able to destroy our recording, but uh, we can still undo everything that you did. And once we get back to. That’s exactly what we’re gonna do. I am going to tell Gabby personally what you did to step’s mind, and she is gonna come after you with more than a scalpel.

You ready to roll? Yep. Can leave me like this? Stop. While you’re a brilliant scientist, I’m sure you can figure your way out of it. Nice. Yeah.

What are you watching? Uh, news bulletin about Susan Banks’s kidnapping. Did they say who did it? Same thing that Bonnie told me. Some guy in a clown mask.

Then what was. The bulletin. Did Susan tell him who did it? Susan couldn’t say anything. She’s dead.

No more. Bruce? No. Want you to?

She’s

gone. It’s all my fault.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 Hey mom. Oh, Sarah honey. I’m so sorry I had to rush out to work. I missed your anniversary party, so I just, I wanted to drop this off. Oh, whoa. That was so sweet. But it was, um, last minute. So the frame is empty , but it is steel for your 11th. And I thought if you took a photo at the party last night, or maybe we could take one tonight, that, that would be lovely.

You don’t like it? No, no, no, no. It’s not that. What, what’s wrong? It’s, you know, it’s Bonnie Justin. He’s terribly worried about her, and so am I.

What the, oh my God. Buddy buddy, sweetheart, Justin. Okay, I praying Brandon here. You sweetheart. Sweetheart, who did this to you? The evilest clown you’ve ever seen.

Where are we? And when are we gonna get there? And most importantly, when the heck are you gonna let me go? What? With all the questions. Aren’t you supposed to be psychic? You know what? It doesn’t work that way, Uhuh. It’s not like I’m some side show Fortune Taylor from Peach Six. And you know what? It doesn’t take a psychic to see that you are one Sorry.

Excuse for a clap. Oh yeah. How’s that? You’re not very whimsical. You’re just rude. Rude, rude. And you’re kind of boring. Oh, well, I’d prefer you to be the boring kind of a captive. So why don’t we try that for a change. What do you say? Like I said, rude. Who’s ever rude is a rude clown. Why don’t you just sit back?

And be quiet so we can enjoy the ride in silence.

Alice, rusty, this has not been too much for her, for all of us really, but I’m relieved that you and Eva have made an agreement. I just want all of this to be over. As much as it pains me, I have every intention in doing whatever that evil woman wants, whatever it takes to ensure the safe return of my mother.

Come on mom. You know you want to kill her? Kill Susan Banks. That is not the deal I made with EJ the deal. Since when is EJ honored to deal with you? He kidnapped your son. He thinks he can win this. You need to make him lose. I just upped the ransom. He is about to lose 30 million. You are Ava Vitali. This isn’t about the money EJ disrespected you and we both know there is one way to answer for that.

He needs to suffer. You need to make him suffer. We both know how this ends. True revenge. The mother has to.

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

Honestly is isn’t what I expected a clown car to look like. I mean, it’s roomy in the inside, but I mean, it didn’t seem all small on the outside or not very clown like either clown French, can you cram in here, Mr. Griffin? Y you who I supposed to. It means you never shut up and it’s driving me crazy. What happens to silence?

Well, I don’t like silence, so either you start answering the questions or I’m gonna start to sing Elvis’s back headlock in chronological order. All right. All right. You know what, Mr. Co, I’m gonna set the scene for you. It was year 1953 and it was a hot blistering August day in Man Fish when a handsome young man walks right into the Do On Records and he away.

Hi,

this is not a real clown car. Okay? Don’t mind. It’s a. And I don’t know how many clowns I can cram in here cause I don’t have any clown friends. You happy now? No. And you showed darn angry. I’m angry. I’m just frustrated on the club. Mr. Clown,

how about I ask you a question? Okay. Shoot. Wait, don’t shoot. Ask one. Watch with the silly hat.

Huh? Yeah. Mr. Crown are calling me Shelly. Well, you know what, for your information, my haage cold and so when you unti me, I grabbed my hat, my lucky hat. Mind you, I’d my bag. See, I like to be prepared for the weather for misfortunes. Well, doesn’t seem so lucky to me. Given the circumstances. I mean, you know what?

As long as I have this little head on my head, everything’s gonna be alright.

So you don’t have any clown friends soon? Just the clown wife. Don’t start that again. Xander said that Bonnie texted saying she was gonna go visit Mimi, but didn’t say. Right. Um, well, Justin just spoke to Mimi and, uh, it’s clear that the text didn’t come from her mother and that Bonnie never went to Chicago.

Uh, wow. Okay. I understand why you’re all so worried. Where’d she go? Um, . We don’t know. . The last we all knew is that she, Headed out to the garden shed. Okay. Okay. Uh, someone in a clown costume tied you up in here. Yes, he is. So, Creepy. Like the clown clown. That makes you heavy jeebies. Okay. All right, LA So let’s just figure this out.

Uh, Maggie said that you came down here to get some lanterns. Yes. Yes. For her and Victor’s anniversary party to be the centerpieces on the table. Right. So when you got here, this creepy clown, evil bozo was just lying in Wait. No, no. And he wasn’t lying. And wait, he found me here after I found Susan Banks.

Charlie, I don’t think, don’t think. Act, your precious trip could have been killed. Yeah. But he wasn’t. Okay. He’s safe now. And we made a deal and EJ agreed, yeah. To give you lots of money. Great. But since when has it been about that 30 million is a big payday. Sure. But to destroy a man, to crush his soul, that is how you become somebody.

The Vitali that you used to be, the Vitali that you’re destined to be. Again, show EJ what happens when you mess with a Vitali, not just any vital mom. Ava Vitali put him in his place. The best way to do that. Put his mother in this place.

I spoke to my banker. And the necessary funds are in place. I was under the impression that this was going to be an electronic transaction. It is. There’s just one more thing I need to deal with

over

Susan May be insufferable, but she’s innocent. She’s done nothing wrong, which is why her death will hurt EJ even more, and you’ll get the payback you deserve. Awful, less facing. Susan might be innocent, but she is annoying as hell. Insufferable, like you said, EJ will be devastated, but the rest of the world, they will breathe a sigh of relief when she finally.

I know you want me to shut up and I know I can be a bit annoying, but I do think that I deserve to know where we’re going, especially considering you aren’t very forest coming by the lash location. How’s that? Uh huh uh, I mean, you told me that we were in a soundproof bunker, some undisclosed NoCal, when really we were in old stinky victor’s old, stinky garden shit.

And I, I, I don’t mean to sound on great bull scenes that you haven’t killed me at all, but don’t you think this is getting a little boring, this kid laughing stuff? Well, You and I are on the same page when it comes to that.

I think I might be even more ready for this to be over than you are. And since you asked somewhat nicely, I guess you do deserve an answer. I do, gee, you’re gonna tell me where we’re going? Yeah. I’m taking you home.

Ava just texted me the location she wants to meet at the airstrip in 30 minutes. Do you really think that that firearm is necessary? I’m sure there’s been more than one poor soul who’s made the fatal misstep of meeting up with Ava. Vital, unarmed. If I left this gun here, it would be a grave mistake, and possibly my last and this cloud had Susan in here too.

Oh, yes. I walked right into this. And this clown is trying to get EJ to pay for the return of his mother. He had Susan all trust up like a Thanksgiving Turkey, same as me, except obviously he didn’t think it was worth as much. So where’s Susan now? Clown God only knows where right before you two burst. I’m sorry.

So Justin and Alex are down at the shed. Yeah, they’re just trying to figure out where Bonnie disappeared to. Well, we all know Bonnie can be a little scattered. Yeah. But she didn’t just get lost on the grounds. I’m sure she’s gonna turn up, I hope. Speaking of which, yes, when I left for work, my husband was here.

So where is Zander now?

I devil himself here, down you.

That didn’t. You’re on the DER grounds, aren’t you?

What the hell are you doing here? Hey, she have to help me. This crazy. He,

he did exactly what I asked him to.

Don’t tell me you’re not in Missy’s clown. Oh God, no. My relationship with this clown is purely profess.

You just think that my grandson Gianni trusted you. I stood up to you for you. Okay, daddy, shame. Shame on you. He’s gonna be so disappointed in you. Oh, how am I ever gonna survive? Now go stand in the corner. Will you do something? Maybe you can. Summon up the spiritual world and top the ear off of some dead damara.

I need to have a word with this clown. Hey, you know what? Since you guys are gonna be talking about me and my welfare, hopefully, um, I think I should be parted to this conversation. Or not. Okay. I’m just gonna flip over here and see what we have. Oh,

I know you weren’t very bright, but it’s only now that I realize you are a total moron. I told you the place I was keeping Susan being compromised and I had to move her. Who told me you’d let me know when your son was safe? Yes, and I just got word that Steve just rescued. Trip. Great. Then we can finally end this.

Get our money from EJ and offload Money Motor Map.

Actually, there’s been a change of plans. I’m gonna go meet EJ and get the money and you’re gonna stay here. Stay here. Why? To kill Susan.

What are you talking about, Ava? We had a deal. No one gets hurt. No one gets hurt. Oh, well then it’s clear. We have had a little bit of a misunderstanding here because my goal from the very beginning has always been to hurt EJ for what he did. To me, that’s become very clear to me that our only path forward is to take away someone.

He. And that’s what we did. And now the next step of the plan is to trade the person he loves for a vast sum of money. I didn’t sign up for murder money. Money means nothing to ej. He was born with it. He will always have it. He will always get more. You need to take away something that he cannot replace.

He has to pay in.

I knew you had a screw, but now my God, you’ve totally lost it. Come on. Lucky hat, I’m taking you home back to your son. Are you sure about that?

Lord. Lord, I know you.

This is a Demy game. Avery and I have been playing, but I have no doubt that I will bust her because she’s reckless. Her moves are erratic. But that’s what makes her so dangerous. It’s also what makes her fallible. I was hoping I can’t talk you out of this, at least let me come along with a backup. She wants me to come alone at this highly sensitive moment of our negotiations, unwilling to make that compromise.

Tony, as much as I want to end Ava tonight. My mother’s safety is the priority. This gun is a last resort, I assure you.

Hello. physically, you’re all right, but I’m sure this ordeal was very upsetting. I’m just glad it’s over, you know? Oh God. My, my hands are still shaking. Geez. Here’s some kind of meal tea. It’ll help sooth your nerves. Oh, um, I think maybe a. Hello. Island iced tea might work faster for me, though. I will take care of that.

Thank you. Thank you, darling. Okay. Can you, uh, tell us anything more about what happened about this man who took Susan? Honey, how many right now? I’m, I’m, I’m just more interested in drinking than talking. Can we just put this off just for a little bit, please? Uh, no. No, you can’t. Cause as long you wait, more likely you are to forget something.

Something that could save Susan Banks’s life.

Susan beat your captor

boy. How would you do this to me? Why the hell did you do that? You brought Susan here and added me. I just returned the. And now you have no choice but to do what needs to be done.

Ah, will you look at the time? I have a date with EJ at the airstrip. So I’m gonna take your car. I’m gonna go get the money from EJ and tell him the terrible news about his precious mom.

Oh, and if it’s any consolation, Susan, there’s a very nice spot right here between Stefano and Andre. So when your son finds your body, he won’t have fire to go to bury.

Bonnie, do you remember anything else about this clown? Any details could be incredibly helpful. Like I told you and everyone else already, he was wearing a clown mask. No, that he never took off. And a suit like a clown suit? No. A blue business suit like the one you always. Thank you. Looks so. Quit. Uh, you’re not implying.

And then it was Alex. No. Lord, no. How at anyone so sweet and with such a sweet face ever hurt anyone? No. Okay. Just the record. Alex was here with me and Maggie during the time that this clown was down at the shed.

So, uh, you remember any more details? Oh, come on you guys, guys. No, I’m no good at describing people to the cops. I mean, really the last time I did this, I Id the wrong person. Okay. Well then maybe you can think about not just what he looked like, but maybe what he sounds like. Can you describe his voice? He was muffled and kind of strange.

Come on. I, I, I can’t do this. Okay. I, I don’t know what you guys want from me here. Okay? Okay. Okay. Okay. That’s enough. Um, you’ve been through a lot, so can we just finish this up? Okay. Yeah. Right. Uh, Bonnie, if you do remember anything else, anything at all, please let me know. Okay? Thank you.

Hold on. There is something, wait. Even though this guy wore a clown mask, he wasn’t very clown like, what does that mean? Well, first of all, he wasn’t very funny. In fact, he was downright mean and creepy. No, no, no. I mean, if this guy really did work in the circus, there’s no way he’d be a clown because his build, you know, and the way he carried himself, he, he was.

He was more like the strong man, you know?

Hey, Mr. Andrew Clown. I, I mean Mr. Cook, Mr. Clown Cook. Gender. You don’t have to do this. That, that heartless lady with the soul decisive a piece, she doesn’t get to boss you around. Right? I promise you. I promise you, you know what? If you just let me live, you know, live the long life that God intended me to, I promise you.

Look, until I saw that you were involved in any of this, not even my sweet, sweet, sweet.

That’s close enough. Ej,

where’s my mother? I want to see her. Oh, you’ll get what you want after I get what I want, except I think it’s become clear. We have good reason not to trust one. Go hell with your trust. Bj, I want your money. So unless I get an alert very. Very soon that you’ve wired me the $30 million, I’m gonna call my associate and tell him to put that bullet in your mother’s rainless little head.

Nope. Nope. Won’t tell anyone.

I’m sorry, Susan. The stakes are just too. I can’t even trust Ava or Amy. Now she’s just gonna murder me in cold blood. You’re not getting it. Sarah would never understand this and things were just getting back on track. I have to do it for her. No you don’t. Please just no more talking. Let me make this harder for both of us.

Okay? Okay. I’m Spanish, Spanish fan. I’m gonna listen. I wanna listen to you. I promise Sarah that I was a changed man, that her love changed me, but she finds out what I did. She’ll, she’ll never forgive me. She’ll see me for what I really am. Okay, hold on, hold on. For, but you don’t have to be, you don’t have to be that you, you don’t have to do this.

I’m not gonna tell. I promise. I promise I crossed my heart and hope get, you know, the best. Maybe you won’t, but if I don’t do this for my, just how spy tell everyone,

and I cannot lose Sarah against Susan. I just, I can’t

Oh, sorry.

It’s done. Where’s my mother?

Nice dream business with you.

Leaving him with our leasing arrival. Oh, I’ll release her to you. Or should I say I’ll release her body to. No. Yeah, no. Yes, yes. Ej. I’m afraid, and it’s true. Your dear old mommy is dead,

got a shower and help you wash away some of that guilt didn’t. You are wrong.

Well, here we are, father, yet again. We are for one of my brothers to return.

Ah. Like father, like son. Isn’t that right?

I just hope EJ keeps his cool. Where is he?

How did you get him? The door was open. Where the hell is ej?

Wow. Huh? That look on your face. Ej, it is worth more to me than 30 million. Damn you. You thought you could take my sun trip? You could threaten my flesh and blood and then just pay me off. If it’s true, my mother’s dead.

No next.

A night, huh? I’m just glad you’re safe right here next to me. Next to my hero,

five 12.

So EJ is on his way to the airstrip right now to make the exchange? Yes. Well, why the hell didn’t one of you call? Well, he was about to call you when neighbor’s call came in, and at that point the ball was already rolling, so he had no choice but to act. Listen, commissioner, I’d be lying to you if I said I wasn’t worried about my brother.

By giving your own personal experience, I’m sure you understand we’re not dealing with your average kidnapper. The rules don’t seem to apply when you’re. With Ava Vitali.

Go ahead, ej. Kill me. But you and I both know I won. I be and I will gladly go to migrate. Known that. Come on.

Before you, if you make it a quick. Oh, okay. I don’t mean to be difficult, but I don’t know any quick prayers. I’m, I’m a, I’m a God-fearing Bible or something, Christian, you see. And I met my sister, my sister Mary Moore around. I mean, she’s the one who’s quick with the first Oh, okay, okay. Okay. I’ll, I’ll come up with something.

Um, oh God. God. Just stomach prayers so little time. I just, oh, oh, wait, wait, wait, wait. I got one. I got one. Okay. And then I wanna say, Not ready.

Oh Jesus, half mercy. Poor, poor man’s soul. A father,

just forgive him. He knows not what he’s done.

I’m ready you.

I can’t do this. I can’t shoot you. Oh, oh. Will Right. I against my prayers for my life of an answer, even though I didn’t have a chance to say it. Oh, okay. You know what? Let’s, um, what do we do next? I mean, I, there, there, there, there is a, um, supply room at the Brady Pub that, um, it’s great for Holden Camp at your store.

Covered before I changed my mind. She Oh, oh, oh, okay. Okay. You know I,

she’s telling the whole world what I did. Right.

I laughing, kicking through the grace of God. You gotta favor right now that thou kill. Can we get, I mean, how many times one night can a girl get a gun? Don’t worry, honey, it’s gonna be the last time. Unless EJ puts his gun. Now.

Okay. Susan Uhuh, how about you and me? Take Oh, is that what you wanna do, ej, quit the gun down now. Still good? Still good.

Good you.

You are not going to believe what happened. Someone kidnapped Susan Banks and of all places was holding her in the Kiya shed. And Bonnie didn’t go to Chicago. She found Susan and the kidnapper grabbed her too, but don’t worry because Bonnie’s okay. But he took off with Susan. God knows where. Oh, and this is the weirdest.

The kidnapper was wearing a blue suit. Anne, are you ready for this? A clown mask. Isn’t that crazy?

And that bozo still has Susan,

Sarah, I’m so sorry for this. I have to tell you something.

It’s official nerves are dulled . Well, I’m glad, but mine aren’t. When I find this clown, he’s gonna be very sorry that he ever laid a finger on my wife. Honey. Honey, I’m okay. No really. Honestly, right now I am just worried about Susan. No, I know she seems like a tough old bird, but she was really scared Rachel Finder and he’ll, uh, bring her home safe.

I hope you’re right. I hope you’re right.

Damn.

Oh my God. Here’s a tip, Susan. Don’t startle the person with the gun. Well, I’m sure, I’m sure, but I, I, Richard realized that I lost my lucky hair. We have to go back. Right now. Freaking kidding. Here’s another bit of advice for you. Keep your mouth shut. Are you gonna lose your unlucky head too?

I’m coming. Mother

is right behind you. And seeing as he used to drive race cars, it’s only a matter of time before he catches up to you. What’s the plan when he does

Eva? You’ve got no place to go now, but prison. No better yet. Hell, and once I catch up with you, I get to decide what are you gonna do? You’re gonna drive all the way to Seattle. The Demaris will hunt you to the ends of the earth. You know that? Just shut up. Okay, shut up. I am trying to think. I didn’t say anything.

Oh, you know what? I, I, I, I, I’ll stay, shut up. But, um, just please, please miss down. Please just keep your eyes in descriptive road. I mean, it would be horrible if we get into an accidental, be here. Tell ej, look at you. You’re scared. EJ is the one who should be shaking in the boots, but you let him get the upper hand, and now he’s chasing you.

You’re running away. Rule number one, vitals don’t run. You should have shot that son of a bitch when you had the chance. I am not scared. You’re crying like a baby because I lost everything, not everything. Yeah. It’s true that Steve didn’t want you, Ray didn’t want you, Jake dead trip abandoned you to move across the country.

But you, you still have me mother. I’m still. And we can be together forever, just like I always wanted. And you can still win this. You can still hurt ej. You know what you have to do.

I know. What the hell is she doing?

Come on one. I’m in heels and you walk so fast. I know, but Sweet Pits is about to close. I remember you saying how much you liked a Flowerless chocolate cake. Huh? My watch must be slow or they just closed early. I mean, one of the owners was just accused of murder yesterday. I should have had dessert at the restaurant even with no dessert.

I had a really lovely time. Yeah, it was our second first date. I wanted this one to be perfect. It was.

What are you up to now? Jen? What are you doing in Jakarta? Why don’t you return my calls?

It’s about the time you called me back. This is not just sister. Oh my God. Ro, what the hell are you doing with my sister’s phone? I received your message warning me about Jin Van Only. It came too late.

Sorry, did you hear what I said? I have to tell you something. Sorry. I thought I saw a roach. I am getting paranoid

I

Something’s happened. Hasn’t it

something bad? Something’s hurt,

and I did it on an A P B out on a late model four door sedan drivers, a woman named Ava Vitali Vitality. A 10 20 is a Salem Air. Victim’s name is Susan Banks. She might still be a passenger in the car, so I want all units to proceed with caution. Ava Vitali is considered armed and extremely dangerous.

EJ is right behind you and seeing as he used to drive race cars. It’s only a matter of time before he catches up to you. What’s the plan when he does

Eva? You’ve got no place to go now, but prison. No. Better? Yes. Hell, and once I catch up with you, I get to decide what are you gonna do? You’re gonna drive all the way to Seattle. The Damaris will hunt you to the ends of the earth. You know that? Just shut up. Okay, shut up. I am trying to think. I didn’t say anything.

Oh, you know what I.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 I don’t think I’ve seen a smile like that since 12 year old Alex discovered the Sports Illustrated swimsuit.

You’re home. Yes. Live and in person. Oh, good to see you. Good see you. How is the visit with the twins? Arizona was great and warm. Good. Joseph and Vic send their love really well actually , they, uh, said to tell you that they didn’t miss you at all. But I think that’s their way of sending love . I’ll give ’em a call.

Now I’d like to think that my return was responsible for that big grin, but I have a feeling it had something to do with a woman, not just any woman. Dad, I shared my first kiss with the woman of my dreams. Wow. I can’t wait to hear about it, but first I need to track down my dream. Girl. Where’s Bunny? How how?

We’re down here. We get up by the joke. Keep it down. I removed your gag so you could eat, not violate the noise ordinance. Well, I’m an overachiever. I could chew gum and walk at the same time too. Why didn’t you And time me so I can show you. You’ll be out of here soon enough. And two, then you need to eat something.

Why would I eat anything you gave me? You, Lisa, with fertilizer. Why would I poison you? I don’t know. Why would you wear a clown mask and terrorize people like a. Talk to your pal Susan. She resisted it first, but she’s been eating. Nothing terrible happened to her. You’ll come around eventually. Eventually.

What do you mean by that? How long are you gonna keep us in this hell hole? Until EJ Dara pays his mother’s ransom.

Where the hell is an neighbor calling? You realize this all could have been resolved by now if you simply paid the ransom. If you’re assuming that Ava Vitale would make good on her promise to let my mother go, well, all she wanted was money, and who’s to say that once you got the 20 million, she wouldn’t ask for more.

We cannot negotiate with terrorists. But haven’t you yourself become one by kidnapping the woman’s son? Ava needed to learn how far I would go to get my mother back. And how’s your brilliant plan working out now? Because from what I see, it looks like a good old fashioned standoff.

I admit. I overestimated Ava’s human. But she knows I have trip and she knows, I mean business. I mean, what kind of a woman would gamble with the life of her only living son, A woman who’s up against a man who’s willing to gamble with his mothers?

It hasn’t. Steve called, maybe he hasn’t found troop yet. There’s nothing to report. Or maybe the rescue went south. Maybe Steve busted in all cowboy style only to find trip’s, lifeless body, and now he’s afraid to call you. Don’t worry, mom, even if Steve can’t save your precious trip, you still have me.

Always.

What can I get ya? Shot of bourbon.

Anything else? Yeah,

the location of this kid.

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

Oh am sorry to report dad, that Bonnie is not home. Oh. Could you go out? Uh, maybe on a magnificent mile. Come again. Aunt Maggie told me last night that Bonnie went to go see her daughter Mimi in Chicago. Really? Yeah. Apparently there was some kind of an emergency. She was supposed to set up an anniversary dinner for Aunt Maggie and Uncle Victor.

Then she just took off. That’s odd. What she didn’t tell you. Not a word. Which is not like Bonnie at all. What’s taking your son so long to pay up? You two are on good terms, right? Well I know he loves you, but he sure has taken his sweet time forking over the ransom. Wait. You can understand him. It shows you how long you’ve had us tied up together.

I’m working on it. Suz. Hey Pennywise. It’s been fun, but I really need to get the hell outta here. I get it. And since I want this over just as much as you do, since I will not let this situation destroy my life. I will get you out of here. I’m sure Demer will pay up Ben very soon. You better hope so, because my husband is due back today and when he finds out about this, he will not be as casual about my life as EJ is about his mother’s life.

No, I’m sorry. I’m just frustrated. Okay. You’re not eating. I’m leaving. Okay, bozo. It’s only a matter of time before my husband realizes I’m missing. And boy, let me tell you when that happens. Tell me what you ever hear Of the tears of a clown.

A watched phone never rings. Stop. Stop talking. Okay, that’s fine. Not a word. Think of me as a, uh, a silent partner. Are we Sure The patchy is up to the whole trip Rescue. Steve will come through. I trust him. . Oh, that’s amazing. What? Just that you continue to trust somebody that’s put his own family over you again and.

That isn’t what happened, isn’t it? No. Then how would you describe it? You don’t know anything. I’ll tell you what I do know, mother, that I am the only one that you have ever been able to really count on. Not Trip, not Jake Damara and sure as hell, not Steve Johnson.

Sorry. Don’t recognize him. You sure? Look again, I. Look, we get a lot of people coming in and outta here all the time. What’s this all about anyway? Someone snatched this kid from his apartment. We have reason to believe that whoever took him frequents this establishment. Are you a cop? You see me flashing the badge?

Well, you never can be too careful these days. I hear that. So view ain’t five. Oh. And why are you so interested in some punk kid who went missing? It’s not me who’s interested. It’s my boss. Yeah. And who’s your boss? I am.

And who the hell is this? Hey, you don’t talk to the boss that way. Oh, okay. And who is this? Go ahead. Tell him. You never heard of the vitals, the Vitali Grand family. Well, sure. They. Run Philly since the time of prohibition. Oh, you’re damn right. We have, we, yeah, the vitals run Philly, and I run the vitals.

This is my boss, Hava Vital, and this kid, this picture right here, that’s my son and I want him back. Safe and San, or somebody’s heading for a slumber party with the fish down in Lake Washington,

just leave me alone. Go away.

Who are you talking to? Who’s coming on, Nick? Nothing. I just, um, I thought I saw a rat. What the hell are you doing here? Who’s watching? Susan? Susan’s fine. Don’t worry about her. The DJ pay the Ranson. Not yet. Why the hell not? This is supposed to be a quick job. It’s, we’re already on day two. It’s taking so long.

He’s got my kid. Okay.

Something to take the edge off. Thank you. And how you’re under a great deal of pressure. I don’t mean to be judgmental about this. No. Don’t you know I care about Susan. You think I’m not worried about my mother. Of course you are. Which is, I’m concerned that you’re allowing your pride in your stubbornness to influence your decision making.

That’s not what this is about. It seems like you’re trying to teach Ava a lesson. Why wouldn’t I? That woman made our family a target. You know, the quickest way of ever coming this debacle is to let the boy go. I’d be giving up all my leverage over Ava. Is that what you’d have me do? Surrender and trust that woman not to hurt my mother.

Am I interrupting?

Hi, honey, it’s me. Um, I just got back from Arizona. Alex told me that you’re visiting Mimi. I hope everything’s okay. Uh, can you gimme a call when you get this? I wanna make sure that, uh, everything’s all right. Love you. I’m sure everything is fine. Dad. Something was wrong. She. Brian? Yeah, yeah, of course. You know what the emergency is?

Probably some new toy that her granddaughter wants. She’s probably scouring every toy store in Chicago as we speak.

I will never understand rich people. I mean, come on, EJ Deira has more money than God and Elon Musk put. Why won’t the cheap son of a bitch pay the grandson? Doesn’t he even care about his mama? Of course he cares about his mama and just, who are you calling? The son of a female dog, Missy. Susan? Yes. That’s my name, sweetheart.

Don’t wear it out.

So instead of paying you around some EJ kidnap trick, I knew I shouldn’t have trusted that bastard. Ah, that’s it. We have to call the whole thing off and let Susan go before someone gets hurt. How do you know if we let Susan go that EJ won’t still do something to trip? Hmm mm-hmm. No. I cannot risk it. And besides, if EJ doesn’t pay Susan’s ransom, then you don’t get paid either.

So how was the money? I don’t want Susan’s or trips blood on my hands. Oh, since when did you grow a conscience? See Sarah. Okay. Since I married someone who believes me, I’m bad enough. I kidnap Susan For you, I mean, someone ends up dead, no one’s gonna die. How do you know? Because I, look, I can’t go into detail.

Okay. But I’ve got a plan in Motion to rescue. No offense saver, but that doesn’t exactly fill me with confidence. It’s gonna work. Okay. Trust me. Trust you. Stay the course. Okay, go back to Susan and wait to hear from me. I dunno what you’re asking of me. Really? How hard is it to babysit one woman? That’s just, it’s so long as just one woman.

I won’t have you talk in that trash about my Elvis. What In the multiverse of madness is going on. I’m hearing your thoughts. Yes, sweetheart. And I’m hearing yours. Some of them are downright filthy, by the way. Like that fantasy you were having about Mr. Justin Kiya is dressed as a fireman, rescued you from a Burnham building and that big old hose mouth got like, Stop.

What? Stop getting inside my brain. Where you in such a cranky pants? You gotta admit it’s pretty cool. I have you known my powers helped those sweet star crossed lovers, Ben and Sierra West on several occasions. You gotten their house. Mm. Okay, now that sounds like fun. Hardly. First time Sherra was kidnapped and presumed dead.

And then that main Nash deal, Satan possessed EL Horton and kidnapped Sherra. Oh, oh oh. And then there was this other time, okay, okay. I don’t need a Supernatural soap Opera Digest recap. Sorry, that was not nice. Hey, it’s not like you can control all the thoughts in your head, right? You were just letting your fear do the talking thinking.

Aren’t you scared? Hmm. You know, my pastor likes to say faith is the enemy of, and I have faith that my Elvis will save us. Just like the king. Nothing means more to that boy than his mama. Oh, um, I didn’t see you come in , obviously. We were just discussing Oh, I knew exactly what you were talking about, ej and frankly, I’m shocked and I I can explain.

Tony, I told you I was not going to retaliate against Susan. Did you not tell your brother? Oh, man. Yeah. Oh, of course I did. Well, apparently you didn’t get through. Because I just heard EJ tell you that, that he can’t trust me not to get revenge on Susan for breaking my crystal heart. That’s what you heard?

Mm-hmm. , but never fear boys. My heart aches no more. Tata, you see ej. Susan is safe. No she isn’t. Hannah.

All right. Whoever took the boss’s kid left one of your match boxes behind in his apartment. Yeah. But like I said, we get a lot of people in and out of this place. Uh, here it’s a kind of establishment that if you want a job done, no questions asked. Unfortunately, for you, I have some questions with all due respect, Ms.

Vitali, but if you’re familiar with our rep, then you would understand. I can’t give you any answers. Is that right? Yeah. Now, if the two of you would, excuse me, I have some paying customers I need to tend. What the hell? What are you doing?

Well, now that I have your undivided attention, tell me where I can find my son or my friend here is gonna make you cry for your mommy.

Who, who would do such a terrible thing to Susan? Ava Vitale. Uh, she’s squeezing AJ for ransom. I forgot to sake. Tony, why don’t you take a full page out, out the intruder, I’m sorry, ej, but I don’t feel right about keeping something of this magnitude from my wife.

Because all of this mess is all your fault. My fault Tony Damara. Why are you doing this? Doing what? Why are you berating your poor brother when that mafia princess has abducted his mother? Well, if you really must know my poor brother in. Has kidnapped ever Vital sun trip,

there’s nothing on. That’s why me and the misses cut the cord. Air it peacock.

Thank God you hurt. Oh. Oh, thank you. No, I’m okay. I’m okay. I’m so damn. Glad to see you too. Ah, yeah. Glad to see you too, buddy. Hey, let’s get you one time. Oh, thank you. What are you guys wearing?

Colossal idiot. How could you let this happen? Huh? Who are you calling? An idiot. You’re the one who told me to kidnap Susan Banks without making sure that your son was safely out of VJ’s reach. Oh, okay. And whose bright idea was it to hold Susan Hostage on their family estate? No one ever goes in that shed.

Well, apparently that’s not true. How is I supposed to know that Bonnie was gonna go down there looking for lanterns of all things? I mean, it’s not, the woman isn’t exactly a, a member of the garden club. Is she? Where was I supposed to bring her anyway? Here to the Amer Crypt. Least it’s private. Yeah, until one of Stefano’s Spawn wants to pay their respects.

Not to mention all the ghosts you believe. That sort of thing. Okay. Look, we both made some decisions that. Really worked out the way we wanted. There’s no reason to point the finger. I mean, this new complication could actually work in our favor. How’d you figure we could ransom Bonnie too? What Victor Kakkis has just as much money as the Damaris do.

No, I couldn’t. I couldn’t do that to my cousin Justin. He’s been good to me and in my family. That makes him kind of a. Huh? Look at you getting all sentimental. I really hope this Dr. Sarah is worth all the trouble. She’s worth everything. How else would I let you talk me into this ridiculous scheme? A scheme that can still pay both of us?

Hey, look, I should be hearing from my associates about rescuing trip very. These associates, friends from your days in Philadelphia, you don’t need to worry about it. Okay? Why don’t you just go back to the shed and make sure that no other family members of yours decide to take up gardening in frigging November?

Honestly, dad, I was starting to think that I didn’t even have a shot with Stephanie. It was like everything I did to be charming, just annoyed this girl, and I’m talking about things that have never, ever, ever failed me. It might I add and then all of a sudden I done. You listening. Oh, what’s that? I thought you wanted to hear about my epic first kiss with Stephanie.

I do. I’m sorry. I just can’t stop thinking about Bonnie. You’re really worried about it. Why didn’t she just tell me? That she was gonna go see Mimi. Maybe she didn’t wanna bother you because she knew you were visiting with the twins. You know what, I have Mimi’s number. Why didn’t I think about that before?

I’ll just give her a call. You can reach her. There you go.

Mimi. Hi, it’s Justin. I’m good. I’m good. How’s. Oh, okay. That’s great. Give her a big hug for me. Okay. Hey, listen, uh, can you do me a favor? Can you, uh, put your mom on the phone?

Oh, I see. So she’s not there and you haven’t heard from her.

Justin should be home from Arizona by now. What time? How the heck should I know a friend, Mr. Clown has my hands tied up. I, I can’t even see the pretty watch. My granddaughter shouldn’t bought me for my last birthday. I wasn’t asking you for the time. Well, you just said what time is it? No, I was thinking, what time is it?

And you, eavesdropped Grain dropped her, whatever.

I didn’t even realize I was listening. Can’t you turn it off? I’m sorry, but you’re driving me bananas. Ooh, bananas. Yeah. Peanut butter. Bananas . Mm, peanut butter. Banana and bacon sandwich. What you doing? Huh? Why are you describing a sandwich? I don’t mean to, you just said banana and it made me think of the king’s favorite peanut butter and banana and bacon sandwich.

Okay. First of all, And secondly, how could you be thinking about food at a time like this? Because you rejected Mr. Clown’s offering and I needed sustenance to fuel my telepathic powers. See, watch my belly is full. I might be able to send a distress message straight into my Elvis’ psyche. You keep hanging your hopes on your boy Susie.

I’m gonna trust that my Prince Charming will come to the rescue.

No, Mimi, I’m sure your mom is just fine. We probably just got our wires crossed. I I will call you as soon as I hear from her. Okay, bye. Bonnie isn’t with Mimi. She hasn’t talked to her in days, so are you sure that Maggie said Bonnie went to Chicago? That I’m positive. Okay. Where are you going to find Maggie So we can figure out where my wife is?

Hi, honey, it’s me. Um, I just got back from Arizona. Alex told me that you’re visiting Mimi. I hope everything’s okay. Uh, can you gimme a call when you get this? I wanna make sure that, uh, everything’s all right. Love you. I’m sorry mate. Never meant for you or Bonnie to get caught up in Ava’s. Hopefully this will be over soon.

Do you seem marvelous? You worried that DJ’s men have already killed trip? Don’t, don’t say that. You know what’s a possibility, right? A guy like ej, he’s not gonna wanna mess to clean up. It’s much cleaner to just get rid of Tripp. Just take his body, drop it in the Puget Sound. Shut up. Shut up. Steven’s gonna save Tripp unless they take him out too.

Oh, don’t. Don’t enough. Please, mom, please, mom, look, I’m not trying to upset you. I just think one of us should be realistic about this. EJ is not some innocent mark. Okay. He, he’s, he’s somebody that thinks that the rules don’t apply to him, and usually he’s right. It is only a matter of time before he finds his mom takes out that buffoon.

Xander. It’s not gonna happen. I’m not sure you really believe that, but look at the bright side. If everyone else is dead, you still have me. Assuming that EJ doesn’t kill you too,

how could you pull. Handsome Dr. Trip Johnson into your blood feud with his maniac of a mother. I didn’t even realize he knew the lad. Oh darling. I developed a debilitating case of carpal tunnel when I was banging out my treatment for the Aamer story, and Dr. Trip treated me and my aching, aching, typing hands.

Mm-hmm. , I don’t remember that. Well, you were away at the time you were with Chad rescuing Abigail and Sarah from Bris Island. You must have been pleased with why they took care of you. Oh, he is a wonderful, that side manner, yes, he’s strong and confident, but tender. He does. Mm-hmm. , bj, why would you want to hurt a decent, wonderful, sexy man like that?

What does sexy got to do with anything? I haven’t hurt him. I cannot believe what I’m hearing. I’m sorry. Did you miss a part where Ava Vitae snatched my mother from this very house? I only went after her son to even mistakes. Well spoken like a true Dera. I am a true Dera. And may I remind you that you are perfectly fine sister-in-law being at Amer when it grants you access to.

A priceless wine cellar. Luxurious trips, 40 Crystal hearts, Gotti. Those privileges come with risk and responsibility. Tony will tell you. Ah, ej, I understand your motives for going after the young lad, Tony, I hadn’t finished yet, but ej, you have to admit, it’s only made matters worse. Susan will come back to us.

But first you’ve gotta let Tripp Johnson go.

I think that we should get you to a hospital. Be checked out. I’m fine. You sure don’t. I look fine. You look good to me, but I’m not the expert. Sweetness. Well, he seems good to me. I am. Okay. All right. I, I’m just really hungry. . Well, we can fix. But first

Wiki, wiki, eggs, and bakey. Hey,

tell me why EJ Damara hired you to kidnap my son. I got nothing to say to you. Well, we’ll see what more you have to say to the Seattle Police Department because they’re in route, by the way. And what a shame, huh? I mean, we were just getting to know each other. Someone is gonna want to talk to you right about him.

Steve, did you find my boy? Hey mom. Oh, trip. Trip. Are you okay? I’m fine, I’m fine. Dad and Kayla found me. I’m, I’m safe. Ugh.

Let’s hope they put that piece of garbage away for a long, long time. Yeah. And let’s hope he rolls over on his boss, EJ Damara. I just want to go home. That is a fantastic idea. You’ve had a long couple of days. Yeah. Hey, Did that loser say anything about ej? No, it wasn’t exactly chatty. I mean, what is this all about?

That’s a very good question. EJ already exposed my mom’s take Mary to Jake and forced her to leave Salems. Why? Why would he need to kidnap me? Well, Ava said it was because she defied him and came back to town. It was not like she has any power and why we care so much. That’s what I’d like to find out. Ej, I’m, I’m sure you’re worried about your mother’s safety, but.

Trip is innocent. Hey Jay. I think if you let ever Vital Sun go, I think she’ll see reason and return your mother to you unharmed, assuming I pay her 20 million. Well, at this point I think she wants it to be over. Oh.

Yes. Hello, ej. I thought you’d like to know that my son is safe and sound. Oh, and that degenerate that you hired to take him. He’s cooling his heels in, uh, Seattle jail as we speak. You’re bluffing.

Nope, I sent you a picture. You might wanna check your phone.

Yeah, I figured that. You may not believe me. So I had my son send a selfie to prove that he’s out of danger. Alright, you have your son. I won my mother. Oh, you can have her, but that little stunt that you pulled is gonna cost you an extra 10 million. What? Oh, you heard me? I won 30 million or I put a bullet in Susan’s head.

13 million.

Fine. I’ll pay you whatever you want, but I want to know that my mother is alive and well. I’ll send you proof. Nope, no more pictures. I want to see her in person. No way. Hey, you are this close to getting the biggest payday of your life, but if I don’t see my mother’s face, you won’t get anything. I’ll send you a location.

If you try and double cross me again, it’ll be Susan who will pay.

What did Maggie say? She showed me the text from Bonnie and you know, it’s just like you said, something suddenly came up and she had to go to Chicago to visit. Why would Bonnie send that text if she, if she wasn’t really gonna see her daughter? I don’t know, but I don’t like this. Maggie said that the last time she saw Bonnie, she was headed to the gardening shed to pick up some lanterns.

Lanterns. Yeah. She was gonna use them for decorations for Victor and Maggie’s anniversary dinner and nobody’s seen her since. Not that I know of. What are we waiting for? Let’s go.

What was E j’s endgame here? I mean, what if you weren’t able to find me? That’s another good question. From what I can tell, the guy didn’t plan on killing me. I mean, he was waiting for something. But what I’m the last person to make excuses for EJ d. But he’s no dummy and I’m sure he has a pretty good reason to do something this extreme.

Do you think my mom is lying about why I was kidnapped? No. We don’t know. I don’t bet you any money. Ava did something to provoke him. Bonnie, buddy, are you in here? Come on, Phil. Oh my God.

Oh, ej, for what it’s worth, you’re doing the right things. I’m glad you think so. Well, 30 million is not exactly spare change, but at the end of the day, it’s just money is. Well, what else would it be? You’re getting your mother back. Do you really think that this is over between me and Ava that. Take her money and leave for good.

Why wouldn’t she? Or for starters, because it’s Ava Vitale, she’s not right in the head. I told you that Steve would save your brother. Yay. I’m so relieved. Hmm. And now EJ is gonna have to pay him. I’m gonna be said for life. 30 million richer. I mean, minus Sanders. I mean, what more could I have asked for?

Nothing except, except, except 30 million is nothing to a guy like ej. He’s just gonna hit a couple buttons on his phone and barely know that it’s gone. So, so, and Jay’s gonna be annoyed for a day and then move on, but is that really punishing him for what he did to you for that pain? The humili. Making you grovel, running you out of town, making you hide in a crypt with your dead son.

What are you saying, Charlie? I’m saying if you really want to make EJ pay, we should kill Susan Banks.
