THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

It looks like you’ve been up all night . I have been. Actually took him an entire night to determine that you shooting Clyde Weston was justified. They also wanted to question us about why we weren’t exactly eager to offer aid to Western afterwards. Helped the man who tried to kill our. Helped the man who murdered Abigail and cold blood.

Really, I’m glad to see you share our sense of family loyalty. Well, look, Chad and I may not be on the best of terms right now, but he still a damara and last night you saved his life and you brought Abigail’s killer to justice and for that I am profoundly grateful. I know Abigail was very dear to. Yeah, I, uh,

thought I loved her. Once turned out it was just an obsession.

No, you know what? I didn’t know what love was telling my Chloe Lane.

Oh my God, Gabby, I’ve just heard the. Uh, By what? Clyde Wilson. Yeah. It’s crazy. No. About Steph and Damara. Is it true that he’s really alive?

Oh.

Are you looking at?

Like sand through the hour class. So are the days of,

it looks like you lost your blanket.

So, um, did you sleep okay? Uh, you know, there’s this thing called air conditioning. You and I should look into it. Good morning, sis. Hello Johnny. And goodbye.

Yeah, yeah, it’s true. Stephan’s. You know that for a fact. Yeah, I saw him and the demer crept my own eyes. Oh my God, Gabby, that’s amazing. Aren’t you so happy? Wait a minute. So when I thought that I was hallucinating my dead husband, I was actually seeing your dead husband who turns out not to really be dead after all , which means I’m not crazy.

Yeah, I’m not so sure about that.

Abby,

there’s so much that I wanna say to you.

I just dunno where to start. I do.

Well, the first time you saw Jake was at the Mansion, remember? Yeah. How would I forget I passed out cold, right? And Lee caught you. He says he didn’t see anything out of the ordinary. He would’ve seen Stephan had he actually been. Oh, so you’re telling me that the first time I saw Jake, I was hallucinating, and the second time I saw Stephan come on.

What are the odds of that? Look, whatever really happened, it’s better for both of us if you’re not crazy. Well, on that, we agree. Yeah, I need you at peak sanity so that Lee’s father can restore your rights as a voting shareholder. And you know, Stephen’s trying to take away my Dera shares for me. Okay, Wait.

Why? Why would he do that? He’s your husband. You are the love of his life. Not anymore. Okay. I don’t get this. Neither do I. He claims he never love me, and he sures hell doesn’t love me now

Chloe and I never got the chance. To see what would happen between us because, Well, Gabby, right? Gabby Hernandez is a duplicitous low life, and I’m glad you agree that she needs to be ousted from Damira. Of course. But you did mention that even if I got my shares back, Might not be enough. There’s still a chance that Shin could restore Ava AL’S voting rights to be sar.

We need someone to switch sides and I think maybe Johnny could be switchable. Johnny might need to switch sides. You mean to tell me your own son voted against you? He’s in Ava Batali’s throw. And as much as it goals me, my threats have only driven him further into her arms. Careful, brother, you need to think strategically.

I am. Now I’m going to see Johnny and Ava hat in my hand and express my heartfelt attrition. You’re gonna lie exactly. And if I do a good enough job, then maybe I could get both. What outside? Goodbye. What? What do you mean goodbye? I told you you could crash here for a night. It’s been two. Okay. I haven’t found a new place yet.

Jen. Whose fault is that? Do you know what the rents are like? The market is crazy. Okay, So go spend the night at the Salem in and don’t let the door hit you on the way out. Wow. Way to treat your favorite twin. I can’t do it anymore. All right. You make more of a mess around here than Henry. You’re leaving dirty dishes in the sink.

You’re, you’re leaving sweat stains on my couch because you’re always laying around half Maybe. Maybe you could do something about the AC and if maybe you could stop trying to be provocative towards chinette. It was hot and I’m not Provo. What? Are you taking his side? No, I’m not. I’m just saying what is a few more days on the couch until he finds a place to stay?

Unless of course you are worried that. Chanel nights succumb to the powerful sexual chemistry that the two of us have always had.

Why? Why, why? Why are you here now? Because after all these months, I’m trying to find my killer. You finally have, and I’d like to know how you feel. Oh. How I feel.

I thought I would feel relieved. God, that’s so determined to get justice for you. That’s all I cared about and now that I have, now that we know who, who took you from us?

I just, I feel empty inside.

It’s just, I, I don’t know what I’m living for.

This is dizzy. Keeping track of everybody’s evolving relationships. I think it’ll be disorienting for anyone, especially those who’ve been dead for four years. , I’ll get the hang of it eventually, as soon as they get my life legs back. . Do you have any idea why a wolf kept you on ice for so long? Aside from the hard thing?

Not at one. You know anyone else who may have been involved? I gather Kristin played some sort of role. Yeah, Yeah. Yeah. Are you aware of anyone else,

Mr. Shin? Uh, I wasn’t expecting you, uh, come in. I’m assuming this is about basic black. Actually, no. I was passing your door and thought I’d stop in and see how you and your family are doing, doing. That’s very kind of you. Such a horrible ordeal with Clyde Weston last night, right? Especially for your mother.

What a dreadful thing to have happen on her wedding day and Well, now that Gabby and I are engaged, I have to admit that every time I hear a nightmare wedding scenario, I break into a cold sweat . Especially now that we’ve learned that Gabby’s dead husband, Stephan, is alive. So EJ and Stephan were here to announce that they’re petitioning to have my shares returned to Stephan.

Can you believe it? Hmm. Well, to be fair, they were Stephan’s shares to begin with, right? I mean, you only had them because you were his widow, which it turns out now you’re not. Okay. Whose side are. Well since we share common interest yours for the time being. Good. Good. Because if Lee’s father is able to restore your rights to vote, then he can’t unseat me.

Even if Stephan reclaims his shares, they can’t boot me a ceo. Ah, well I hope now, cuz I certainly don’t want my first day on the job to be my last. Don’t worry. Still have six votes with you and Johnny now that he’s on our. Actually what? Actually what? Well, I’m not so sure we can still count on Johnny’s boat.

Believe me, I am not worried about losing Chanel to you. They’re fooled me. Uh, hello Girlfriend who can speak for herself is actually in the room. I am just responding to his idiotic suggestion that I am jealous when the real reason that I want him out is because I am tired of your smelly naked body taking up all the room in my apartment.

Oh. Do I smell? Yes, you do smell. So go take a shower and then get out. No. Fine, fine. Okay, I’m going Just relax. Would.

He’s so infuriating. Just walking around with that arrogant little smirk and thinking he’s so adorable. Checking himself out in all the mirrors, you know, He’s just pressing your buttons. Hey, you don’t really think you have anything to be jealous of? Me and Johnny, do you? I just got through saying I’m not jealous, Weren’t you?

Okay. Okay. I will admit that I. I have been a little bit thrown off, but it took you weeks to decide which one of us you wanted to be with, John or me, and now it seems like you’re totally fine with him staying here for God knows how long, laying on the couch in his teeny tiny little baby underwear. So I don’t know.

Do I have a reason to be jealous? You tell me. Dupree

Nancy. Ma’am, Mr. Weston’s not allowed any visitors. It’s all right. I, I spoke to, um, Commissioner Hernandez and he said it would be all right. I’m not gonna stay long.

I just wanna know one thing. Pride was anything between. Ever real? Did you ever really love me?

Well, I told you I loved you, Nancy, time and again.

Yes, you did.

And I don’t know why I, uh, even care now, except I thought it might help me to better understand why I got involved with you in the first place. You do anything that helps you. The thing is, and I, I didn’t really see it at the time, but I, I was really messed up after losing Craig. I, I just needed somebody, anybody hate me, feel desirable and there you were.

And crying, even after you were arrested for possessing Abigail’s jewelry, I still believed your lies. That’s how much, that’s how much I needed you and how the very word needy makes me cringed. Yeah, I get that.

Now I just have a one question, since I know the truth. Fire away. You killed Abigail Damira and you tried to kill Sonus.

Clay. Would I have been next? What do I need to do? You need to let go of your anger. You guilt Cause there’s only one person responsible for what happened. And that’s Clyde Weston. But I knew he was on parole. I should have been more careful. I should have protected you. I lived in so much terror after everything that Ben Weston did to me was always looking over my shoulder, everywhere I went.

And I didn’t want that. There’s no way to live. Neither is this. You’re right, it’s not. You almost died last night. Is that what you want? Maybe. Cause I could with you honey. It’s not your choice to make. Oh, maybe it should be. I don’t how to go on,

Don’t I? Can you have to.

It was quite a shock to learn that Stephan is still. I understand he claims he still has feelings for you. That’s what he said. Yes. So you saw him? I did. And it was surreal. He also doesn’t wanna believe that there’s no hope for us. Hmm. Are you quite certain of that? He is. Fascinating, charismatic man from a prominent family.

Hmm. While I already have a fascinating charismatic man whom I love with my whole heart, and even if I wasn’t in a relationship with Brady, I have a hard time going back to Stefan after he cheated on me with Gabby. Now, I’m pretty sure that that’s not what you wanted to hear, but if you’re thinking that I can keep Stephan away from Gabby, then.

That’s not gonna happen, . Well, thank you for your candor. Well, I’ve taken up enough of your time. Best wishes to your mother and you and Brady, and you and Gabby.

Anybody working with Dr. Off?

Man,

it’s all so hazy.

Finally, it seems those stock shares are officially yours for the taking. Mm. Let’s go retrieve them from Gary, Shall we?

I wish I could have seen E j’s face. I mean, thinking that you and his renegade son had done the nasty. Yes. Well, it was very satisfying to be hold, let me tell you. And then EJ promptly kicked me out of the mansion, no surprise there. And Johnny decided to come with me just to stick it through his father.

So we went to the Salem in, spent the night. He slept on the floor. Oh really? Instead of his four poster king size bed with the 2000 Fred count sheets. Yep. No posters, no sheets, but um, you know, we’re still on good terms. The truth is, when I kicked him out, he felt really bad and I. I actually missed him.

Great. Fantastic. Go. Go find him. Go wrap your arms and everything else around him and then tell him that you’ve changed your mind, that you actually do wanna sleep with him. Are we seriously doing this again? You know, I’m committed to you. I sometimes have my doubts. Ally, come off. Come on. What? When you finally chose me over, Johnny, you admitted that you still had feelings for him.

Yeah. And I also admitted that my feelings for you were deeper. I made my choice and I’m not looking back, but it’s difficult for me when it seems like you don’t trust me. Okay? I am washed and smelling sweet. Oh God. You ever wear clothes? Donnie, would you please stop torturing your sister? What? I’m not torturing my lovely and loyal sister.

I’m simply obeying her orders to get the hell out of her apartment. So I’m gonna go put my clothes on and leave, but, But where will you. I don’t know. I’ll figure it out and, and thank you for your hospitality.

Hey Johnny. Hey yourself. But you still haven’t found a place to stay. Uh, yeah, I was staying at my sisters for a couple days, but, uh, I think I overstay my welcome. So, yeah, it’s not very sisterly. Yeah. Well, I think you know my family well enough by now to know that we are, um, complicated. Hmm, that’s true. So where are you gonna go now?

I don’t know. I guess I should probably find an apartment, get a job. In a life, um, not, not necessarily in that order, but

why don’t you just start by coming back to the Salem. End with me.

Morning. Hi, um, I missed you last night. I stayed at Res. Thank you far giving me some time. No thanks. Necessary. I know it’s a lot for you to process getting engaged and then finding out that same day that your husband’s back from the dead. I know it must not be easy for you either. Lee, you can be patient.

Gabby, you’re worth it. I still love you. I still want to marry you and I’m hoping you feel the same way.

Stephan.

Oh, you here to take back your, uh, stock shares? What’s this? Oh, you didn’t hear Stephan and uh, ej. They’re teaming up to O me as ceo. No, I didn’t hear, I had no idea. Who’s your brother? You know, I’m sure he wouldn’t wanna miss a minute of. He’s taking care of some paperwork. There’s something I wanted to say to you before why I’ve had some time to think since our last meeting.

Things are a little more clear in my mind, something I need to say to you.

Well, you know, I never claimed to be one of the good guys. , but I swear I wanted to be a better man for you, and I want you to know you’re a special person. In fact, since I’ve been lying here in the hospital, you’re the one I think of most, how I hurt you,

how I wished I.

I wonder,

is there any way you could forgive me?

You gotta go on living.

I mean, what would’ve happened to our kids if they’d lost both their mother and their father? Oh my.

I know. You’re suffer. But please try to remember all. You have to be grateful for all you have to live for, especially our precious Thomas and Charlotte

and all of the memories that you have of us.

I wish we could have made.

But every day, every hour, every second that I spent loving you is more precious to me than if I had lived a hundred years without you.

The greatest gift that you could give to me is to live your life. Define joy again. To find love again. No, there is never gonna be anyone else. There’s only you. You might feel that way right now, but you won’t forever. And if you won’t move on for yourself, then do it for me. So you want me to come back and stay at the end with you?

On what terms? Do we have to put a label on it? ? Is there an it to label? You’re pretty definite about me leaving, so, yeah. Well, maybe I was a little hasty. I don’t know. Just it feels like faith that I just ran hand you now. So you wanna come up and put your bag down upstairs? Huh? Come on. What do you see?

What is it? Stephan? What do you remember? My feelings for Chloe? Chloe doesn’t want you. She will. Once I remind her what we were to each other, Chloe’s in a serious relationship. She’s with Brady now. I’m aware of that, but I’m not giving up on her. So bottom line, Gabby, it would be wise for you to move on with your life, just like I intend to move on with mine and to that.

I will be filing divorce proceedings as soon as possible. Well, it’s official. The securities have been transferred back to Stephen Zane. I should have been informed of this. Consider this your official notice, Gabby, the stock certificates, please. Now, ooh,

you can’t do this. Most shares belong to Gabby. Now, the law disagrees.

You’re enjoying every minute of this, aren’t you? I enjoy when things are ReSTOR to that proper place. You know? Just because I don’t have a single share after me stock doesn’t mean I’m not ceo. I am ceo, dammit, not long. If it were up to me, I’d throw you both out of. The guy’s in charges her call. I have no idea what has happened to you, Stephan, but you and your brother need to get the hell out my office.

Goodbye.

My mama says that you should never go to bed mad, and we’ve done that for the past two nights now. Ever since we had that stupid fight about your brother. Yeah. It always comes back to him, doesn’t it? Look, I know I made things difficult when I was choosing between you and Johnny, but you No, we, we have to get past that.

Either you trust me or you don’t. It’s Johnny that I don’t trust. He’s not, he’s over me. Okay. He’s he’s moved on. Right, But Ava dumped him. Yeah, but he was really into her. So doesn’t that mean that he’s over.

Allie, look at me. I don’t want him. I want you. And if words can’t prove that to you, then maybe this will,

if you’re sure. Yes, I am. Alright. Mm-hmm. . Oh, just who I was looking for. Look, dad, if you’re here to order me to come home. Uh, the answer’s still no. So if you’ll excuse us. What if I asked both of you back?

Climb what you did to me pales in comparison to, Oh my God, you killed an innocent young woman, the mother of two small children, not to mention what you did to sunny. He won’t forgiveness. You need to ask it from them, from their families, from Abigail’s family, from Sunny and his.

But I will pray for you, Christ,

Everyone deserves at least that. I appreciate that.

Goodbye.

What’s the catch? No catch. Truly look, son, I don’t know if you heard what happened with Clyde Weston last night. I did. Of course you did. Everyone’s heard by now. Anyway, it made me realize how important family is to me. I understand. I’ve hurt you deeply, Johnny, and I need to make amends. I’ve pushed far too many people away in this life and that stops now.

Your Uncle Chad and I have reconciled. I’ve had a chance to get to know your Uncle Stephan, and now I’m determined not to let any more time pass being estranged from my son, whom I truly. And so I’m asking you to come back to the house where you belong. What about Ava? Well, she’s invited as well. As I said, Why?

Yeah, Why this sudden change of heart? Consider it to me a culpa for my unfair conclusions about your mental. So well, how could I turn down such a gracious apology? Evidently, you weren’t hallucinating seeing Jake. You were actually seeing Steph and you were to blame for any understandable confusion. Ava, we do Mirrors owe you on a number of grounds.

Let me start making it up to you. Please come back to the house. My doors are open for the both of you.

Okay. Would you at least consider it?

I will, but But I’m not gonna speak for both of us. Yeah, we’ll talk about it.

How could I think of ever loving someone else when you still have my heart?

Just because you give your heart to somebody else doesn’t mean you have to stop loving me. I know you never will. Just like I will never stop loving you, nor are children

used to tell me how much of me you saw in Charlotte and Thomas doesn’t that. Did I live on in them?

It does Tell me how. Be specific.

Wow.

You live on in Charlotte’s kindness

and in her sense of humor

and in Thomas’s endless curiosity and how he always marched to feet of his own drill.

Thomas has you laugh

and I, Charlotte,

she has your eyes.

She has you. So beautiful. Beautiful eyes.

Will you do one more thing for me? Anything?

I love you with all my heart. I love you.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Jack, I heard you come racing in. What does the matter, uh, Julie tell me, uh, is, is Doug still taking painkillers for his shoulder? What well known, not since last year. Why I found these on the floor.

Oh, well I don’t understand this because we never refilled the prescription. I think Jennifer did. Doug’s fine now and

Oh no, go ahead and tell me that Jennifer is taking painkillers again. I didn’t wanna believe her, but I think she’s right.

I swear I’m gonna make him paid it. Anyone who ever hurt you, anyone who ever even thought about hurting you, I.

I promise you. I promise you. Just a sweet girl.

Sorry. They hurt my baby.

Yeah. He’ll be with Abigail soon. Now. Chad won’t take long now. Yeah.

Are you all right? Just tell that time a bitch is bad.

Like sand through the hour, so are of,

It’s too bad he’s still kicking.

Looks like the rolls of reverse. Now, hog chap, how does it feel to be the one bleeding out in the grass this time? That is what’s called poetic justice. I’m glad I could provide that for you. Go to hell you first. Oh wait. How does it feel? Clyde? Knowing you are only moments away from damnation and there is nothing that you can do about it.

Agonizing, isn’t it? Not for me. I’m gonna relish every single second of it. We both are. When I found Abigail, she was still clean to life alone in the bedroom, who almost have felt like an eternity. Terrified every breath would be her last. Tonight. You are gonna pay back every single painful second. You hear me, Clyde?

Except in Abigail’s final moments, she was with someone that she loved. Someone that loved her. You will not be so lucky.

Ah, voicemail damnit EJ

reports are gunfire. The cemetery is where Abigail’s buried. Stay here. No way. I’m coming with you. Don’t argue. I’m. Go. I just got back to the police station. I spoke to Shawnee’s. My God. Hey jd, I gotta call you back.

Can you hear me?

Cough help.

What was that? I’m sorry. You’re gonna have to speak up. You can’t let me die. Did you hear something ej? Huh? Not a thing. I thought I did guess now. Must have been the wind. Must have been beautiful night, wouldn’t you say? So peaceful and quiet out here among the dead.

She wasn’t upstairs. She’s not in the kitchen. She’s not in the den. She’s not here. Jack, she’s not answering your phone. Well, maybe she put it on silent. Well, listen. Have you noticed any kind of change in her behavior recently? Well, yes. She’s grieving deeply over the loss of her daughter. We all are. Yes.

She’s changed. Damn. I went to voicemail. Uh, look, I need to go back and find her. I’ll go with you. No, no. Clearly you stay right here. You stayed with Doug. She might come home. All right. Thank you so much for all your help. I will let you know when I find her. Jennifer, we’re so worried about you. Was trying to call you.

Oh, sorry, I, I didn’t hear my phone. Oh, I don’t know where it is. I need to sit down. Jennifer. You all right?

Jennifer? What happened? Where have you been

when you stay with me? How you stay? You’re gonna be all right. You’re gonna make it okay?

Yeah. This is Commissioner Hernandez. I’m outside the police station right now. I need an ambulance right away.

Wish she’d bloody Hurry up. Have a Liverpool game on the dvr. I am no rush at all. Oh my God, is he? He’s alive. He’s.

Yeah, this is Detective Brady. I’m the Salem Cemetery and I got a gun check wound victim. I need, uh, medical assistance asap.

What the hell happened here? EJ as your lawyer? No, ej As your lawyer, I have to advise you not to say a word. You heard our detective mum’s the word and same goes for my brother as well. I’m sure Bell will also be representing him. Mm-hmm. I don’t need a lawyer. I have nothing to hide.

You were supposed to stay home, you said you weren’t feeling well. I wasn’t. I. Supposed to, then I spoke to Aha. Jennifer, look at me. Okay. You know that’s not possible, right? Yes, of course. I meant, I, I imagine speaking to Abigail, I was, I have just so upset that we haven’t found her killer. So I decided to see what was happening with Clyde when she, the police finally decided that Clyde is, He may have killed, couldn’t here, Jack, Like, look good.

Am I doing Just, just waiting here. So I, I decided I would drive to the police station and I, I would see what was going on. You drove in this condition. I’m, I’m, I was fine. I, I’m okay. I just started feeling a little dizzy, so I turned around and I came back. Thank, Thank God. Thank God you should have known Jack.

Please tell me did they catch him? Yes,

He murdered our daughter, Chuck. Tell me he has to answer for that. He will. The police are handling it. Jennifer, there’s something that we need to handle right now. God, what? What is it?

This.

Oh, uh, okay. Remember what I said about it being a quiet night. Looks like I spoke too soon. What’s going on? Um, two ambulances just pulled in downstairs, so it looks like my break is officially. Okay, Doctor, get out your hair. I’ll see you back home, man. Yeah.

Oh, Michael Gwen. Once I spoke to Nancy about the vanilla after shave, I realized that, that the person who stabbed son and killed my wife wasn’t Craig. It was quiet and, and I was even more convinced after Ray told me Clyde’s Allen by fell. And so you decided to take matters into your own hands? Yeah, I did.

Oh, well, I got the gun for my family safe. I intercepted Clyde at the city hall and then I took him to the cemetery to Abby’s grave, and that made him from Fess Crimes Crimes, and he did it, Sean. He did it. He killed my wife. Why? Why do I just send a message to ej? Sort of, except Abby was in his original target.

She was in the wrong place at the wrong time. So when Clyde broke into our house, he didn’t intend to kill my wife. It was after yours. What?

I don’t understand and why would Clyde want to kill Bell? Several weeks before Abby died, Clyde plan to bug at Mansion. Mansion. It must been the night he came over claiming he wanted to go into business with. From that moment on, he was keeping tabs on it. He wanted leverage to use against me to keep me quiet about how he was responsible for my shooting.

Then Clyde’s Worst fear was confirmed when he heard a conversation between you and Bell. He heard me confide in her. I still cannot believe how reckless you are. Are you put my wife in danger. What is how stupid? He didn’t like Clyde was listening. Okay, And I wanted to help. Clyde wanted to send a message.

He wanted to show how easily he could get to e. Or anyone around him. Bella was living with us at the time, so he came for her there. Oh my God. Except you weren’t there. No one was, except for Abby. She had, she found him in the hall. She started asking questions. She was brave. Um, stubborn, you know, No nonsense.

She just knew too much. I’m so sorry, Chad. I, I don’t know what to say. Okay. So you got cly to confess. So then what happened next? While I was upset, as you may have guessed, he caught me off guard, knocked the gun away starting strangling me. I, uh, I just kept thinking what he, what he had done to Abigail and I picked up the gun and ended it.

EJ had no choice. Lyde was gonna kill Chad. She’s right. If EJ having to showed up, I would be with Abby right now. Okay. I’ve heard enough for now. If I need to hang down the hospital, see if I can get some answers at. Assuming he’s still alive, may relieve. No, not yet. Need you to stay here. I just have some more questions for you.

Okay. Let me know what you find out. I love.

What’s that prescription? Painkillers, Killers. I found them here on the floor.

The label says they’re Dougs. Yes, but Doug stopped using them a year ago. Never refilled the prescription, but about a month ago, someone did. What are you saying, Julie? What are you accusing me of? Jennifer, you had an addiction to painkillers years ago. Jack. Years ago. Sweetheart, I’m not judging you. I am not.

I need you. I need you to talk to me. Jennifer, please tell me the truth.

Have you been abusing pills again?

I think I’m gonna be single.

Oh, hey. Um, why went to Gwen? I’m not sure I, uh, found her outside the police station. She was on the ground, uh, non-responsive and, um, there were tire tracks nearby. Well, someone hits her and just left. It looks like a hit and run. Yes, we would do something like that. Well, we’ll find them. Because of now we have no witnesses, so we don’t know much.

Pretty much told you everything. Oh, come wait. Just Jenna, just about to come. Poor guy mean after Abigail. I dunno what he’ll do if you lose another daughter. Should I go check on Jennifer? No. No. Just give her a minute. Okay. What do you think? I,

It’s Rafe Rafe. Hello? Did youre Clyde? No, no. Shawn has a lead, but right now we’re waiting for an. Oh, well thank you for keeping in the loop, but, uh, I’m in the middle of something right now, so if you could just jack that. That’s actually not why I’m calling. Oh, what’s wrong? Uh, I’ve got some bad news. Jack is about when.

Feeling better? Yes. Thank you. Where’s Jack? Uh, Jack had to go and he wanted me to take care of you. He had to go winter. RA called from the hospital. The hospital, Gwen was brought into the emergency room earlier this evening. Gwe. What happened? I have no idea. Jack got that call. Hung up. Ran outta here.

He must be so worried. I hope that she’s

Gwen, She’s stable. Um, she has some broken bones and possibly a concussion, but. No internal bleeding and there doesn’t seem to be any damage to any of her major organs. So for now, she doesn’t need surgery. She regained consciousness. Like may I ask her some questions? Uh, no. She won’t be giving any statements yet cuz we have her sedated.

Okay. Sarah Jack’s not here yet. Um, would you be off? I sat Mr. I know he wouldn’t want it to be alone. Yeah, of course. Cool.

Okay. Um, I’ll see if we can find, uh, trash and, and we need to make sure that your story’s first when she hears. Do you think Chad and I will be charged with anything? No. Not if I can help it. Before you go. I went to apologize for what Sean was right. I put you in danger. I never should have told you about Clyde

if Clyde, he was there for you. Bell and I, I’ll tell you what I told Sean, Okay. You had no way of knowing that Clyde was listening. How could you and yeah, I practically forced it outta you. You aren’t good at that. Bottom line is you have no reason to apologize. I just wish that we would’ve, you know, that we could have stopped Clyde before a

Yeah, me too.

Hey, I just got your message EJ talk. Lied. Yeah, and according to him, he was just trying to save Chad’s. Where’s Weston now? Tr room five. Booking doctors. They extract the bullet. Now he’s recovering. Gwen Gwen, where is she? Is she okay? She’s sedated. She’s in stable condition. I mean, she’s, she’s pretty banged up, but it looks like she’s gonna be okay.

Abigail,

It was my fault.

Ej, you don’t have to. No, don’t.

I knew ply was a threat to the family, and yet I kept it to myself. I should have put a thought to him. Immediately. Chad, I failed you. I failed Abigail, your kids. I failed the family and I never forgive myself. Chad, I am very sorry, but we’ve both made mistakes. And done things that we regret and there’s no point in keeping score.

Not now. That’s very generous of you. Before we clear the board, I have to thank you. Came to my rescue night, ej, and you saved my life.

Brother.

You welcome brother.

Well, now that that’s out of the way, um, I guess I can tell you. Tell me why tonight. I didn’t do that for you. What do you mean? I just wanted to shoot him.

I don’t know what you’ve been told Mr. Deborah, but I’ve never harmed a single. On your daughter’s prairie little head. I should have done You be mad enough to admit you did. You know, I do believe it’s in my best interest not to say another word until I have an attorney present. Just fine. It’s fine by me because I, I don’t need to say myself.

When you did was a speakable evil Abigail, when she was a mother to two beautiful children. She was a wife. She was a daughter. And you stall it all away. It will haunt me and the rest of my family for the rest of my life. And I want you. To be haunted too. Whenever you close your eyes, I want you to see her.

I wanna see what you did and I hope it kills you slowly and painfully. And in your last moments when you’re dying, you won’t begin to understand a fraction of the pain that you cost us. Not a fraction bravo there Jack as a hell of performance. But you know, I think you better off. What did you say?

Let me see. Oh yeah, I can see her man. She was beautiful.

She’s not Angel Jay. That little slut cheated on my boy. No.

Hey, Gwen, it’s, it’s, I dunno if you can hear me, but I just wanted you to know your father’s on his way and until then, I’m gonna keep you. If that’s okay with you,

and I also wanted you to know that you’re gonna be right. Sarah says you’re very lucky that you and I both know that look has nothing to do with it. It’s tough as hell. One of the toughest women I’ve ever. That’s why in no time you’re gonna be up and complaining about the groty food and grumpy.

Sandra. Hey there, Alice. What’s going on? What’s she doing here? Where is he? Ah, you’re in a bit of a scuffle. Yeah. But you fought, Bly, took down several men twice your size. You’re a, at University Hospital. You were a victim of a possible hit and run. Who’s,

Hey. Sorry to interrupt. She just regained consciousness. That’s great. Hey, Glen, think you’d be up to answering a few questions? Sure. Okay, thank you. Listen, I just want you to know that I’m gonna do everything in my power to find the person that did this to you.

I should go, Jack needs me. No, no, no. Jack needs you to rest, darling. Jack needs. To take care of yourself. I’m fine, Julie. I’m fine. No, sweetheart, you’re not, Jack wasn’t around the last time that you started using painkillers, but I was.

That’s the reason we moved back into the house, Doug and me. Do you remember that? Or was to take care of you? I remember and I am grateful, but that is not what’s happening here. Jennifer Rose, you’re not fooling anybody, especially not me. You’ve been struggling. How long has it been?

A few weeks. Why didn’t you talk to. I was ashamed. You have nothing to be ashamed of. We don’t judge you. We wanna help you.

Maggie tried to help. Maggie knew about these bills? Yeah,

she, she found them in my purse. Mm-hmm.

It was, It was my accident. The bottle wasn’t full. I hadn’t taken any. She watched me throw them out. Then she took me to a meeting. Then I came back and I got them out of the trash and they took one. Then I took another in another.

Until the ball was empty.

Listen to me, Jennifer, we all love you very much

and after everything you’ve been through, I don’t presume to imagine the pain that you have been going. But I do know in this life there is nothing more tragic than when a parent loses a child, especially so son, So senselessly.

I know you’re struggling, darling. You’ve been struggling just to get through the name.

But remember, Your life is important to your life, how you live it, that’s important to all of us, and it’s especially important, those precious grandchildren of yours because with their mother gone, You, my darling, are the most important woman in their lives. They need you now. They’re gonna need. For a long, long time,

we all are.

Would you please give me a hug?

Yeah. Hey, you sure you’re ready?

My head’s finally starting to clear,

Gwen. Thank God you’re alright baby. Thank you so much for coming. Of course. Tell, tell me what happened. Yeah, we were just getting to that. So when you remember anything about tonight, Um,

I, I was, I was walking to the car park at the station. This car came speeding towards me. Oh my God, My God. Yeah. It, it didn’t swerve. It just, it happened so fast. Do you think it was,

That’s possible. I suppose. Could you see the driver?

What do you say? You get some sleep. Oh yeah. Thank you. Yes. And Julie, I am so sorry that I worried you and God, I cannot believe that I went driving in that condition that it’s just, it’s not me. You know that. I do know that.

It’s all such a blur. Well, I’m just so glad that you’re back home safe and sound. You know, you’re very lucky that you didn’t hurt yourself or anyone else. Let’s go darling.

No, I, I didn’t see the driver. I was God, the headlights. They, they blinded me and

Daddy would do something like this and then just drive off and outside of a police station.

I’m just sitting here Jack. What good am I doing? Just, just waiting here. So I, I decided I would drive to the police station and I would see what was going on. You drove in this condition.

Chad told me that Abigail wasn’t your intended victim, that you were planning on killing my.

I do believe I have the ride to remain silent. Now you do. And I’m gonna read you your rights really soon, you know? But first I want you to know one thing. Can’t wait. I’m never gonna rest until you’re back in Statesville and this time. You’re never getting out.

Well, how did it Gorok? Uh, unfortunately she’s gone for the day, but I will speak to her on your behalf tomorrow morning. Have you talked to Sean? Yes. Um, Clyde is gonna live, That’s a disappointment, but he will be shipped after Statesville for the rest of. And you know the truth and hopefully that brings you a little peace of mind.

Oh, peace of mind.

Yeah.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Hey, I, I, I didn’t expect you back so soon.

I, uh, decided to go to the police station instead of the spectator office. Oh, why? I had to see Leah Stark. I had to, Here’s denial in person. And I know how much he wanted it to be him. I wanted it to be him too, just so that this nightmare would begin to be over. But I think Gwe is right. I don’t think he did it.

I’ve got the Salom prison blue

and it ain’t gold. Base for

good. God. Thought someone was torturing a cat. Rub salt in the open wound. Did you come here to gloat? Yes. After you said you were gonna help me, No, I’m here to tell you that you were wrong about Craig Wesley setting you up. You said you believed me. I did. It was Clyde Weston, right? It’s him. Matt Clyde Weston.

Nancy’s new boyfriend. It. Sit, sit, sit. Really want some tea? Have her a stick drink. Oh God. Nancy, I’m sorry. I know what Justin said upset you. It’s okay, buddy. Justin was right. What? What are you talking about? I never showed up for the wedding, but the police did. They had a warrant for his arrest. He’s the one that stabs son.

And what’s worse? So much worse. Oh, honey, go on. Go on honey. They said that. Take your time, buddy. They said that he killed Aga. Oh God. Oh my God. I suspected, but I didn’t wanna believe it. I’m so sorry. I’m trying so hard not to believe it now, but I kept saying it that God, that I know he would never do such horrible things, but nothing I said changed their mind.

Well, Nancy, they had to have proof. Yes, but I just kept right on arguing with him, and I just had this little voice inside of me saying to me, Are you arguing because you think you’re right. Or are you arguing because you’re terrified that you are wrong? Bonnie? Honey. Honey. Oh.

Cause I want you to tell me what you did to my Abby, or you have two seconds to live. One. Okay. Okay. Settle down like I said. I went over there looking for Be Brady. I was, um, wearing gloves because I was gonna send a message to EJ because EJ told her that you shot him. Yeah, yeah. I was gonna fix it. So he’d find her strangled to death, but, um, you know, I couldn’t find her anywhere.

It seemed like I had broken the house for none. Um,

but then I ran into your wife.

What the hell are you doing here?

Like sands through the hour glass, so are the days of lives.

So Clyde Weston is the one who framed me. That’s what the cops are saying. Well, it does make sense. I did get him in a little trouble sticking him with the jewelry I lifted from Abigail’s room, but he had an alibi. What’s the big deal? Unless he’s doing this for Nancy? Yeah. Okay. He totally lost me. Well, I stole his girlfriend’s husband, so he frames me for stabbing son.

I, He should be thanking me. It’s because of me that she was back on the market. Like could you just listen?

He didn’t just stab Sunny PDE also killed Abigail. Oh my God. He’s a monster. Yeah. Yeah, he is. So it’s been Clyde Weston from the beginning and he’s finally found the right man.

How many times have we been told that the police have the person who killed Abigail? And how many times has it turned out that they were wrong? I, I just had this gut feeling that it wasn’t Leo, why Leo told me things that he hadn’t told the police. Like what? Like he used a steak knife to open Abigail’s jewelry box and left it on her dresser.

That’s. The real killing was to found it. Yeah. Why would he hold back something like that from the police? He would’ve been a gift to the da. He would’ve put Leo and had gal’s bedroom with a knife. All that we had to do is say that Abigail walked in on Leo, interrupted a robbery. Leo panicked and killed her.

This is, this is just, This is just too much. I. It’s the police, Jack Devo. Hey, Jack and Sean. I’m glad you called him. Listen, I just came from seeing Leo Stark. I don’t think he did it. We’re way ahead of you. I’m calling to let you know that we put out an APB on Clyde Western, not Greg Wesley. I climb down on my, fell apart.

The, uh, the video footage that cleared him, it was faked. And I just wanted you and Jennifer to be the first to know it’s. And, uh, now we just gotta find him.

Okay, So you’re in the house and then you were in the Abby, and what did you do? But what do you think I did? I lied. I asked you a question. Will you Butler let me in. Oh, I’m sorry. I, I’m here to discuss a business opportunity with your husband at this hour. What do I just get off my day? You know what made this proposal to EJ first and he turned me down.

But I had a hunch, a smart fella like your husband would know a good deal when Selma. Hmm. Yeah. You know, uh, Chad a smart, but so am I. Did you think I would notice you wearing gloves in the middle of June

if she only had just not started in with all the damn questions?

Sean said they’re absolutely certain that client’s their man. Oh, they’re absolutely certain about someone they cleared months ago. Know I know what this whole investigation is doing to you. It’s doing the same thing. Me just keep telling yourself that people are safe, but they’re not safe. Nobody is safe.

Abigail’s killer is still out there waiting. I’ll tell you what, why, why don’t we, we’ll go to the police together and we’ll make them tell us everything they can. It’s got to be better than sitting around here waiting for the phone to ring. Oh, it’s, no, you, you go, I, I’m not feeling so well. Well then I’m not going anywhere.

Oh, no, no. If you do what you, you think’s right. You know, you, you go to the police station. I’m not leaving you alone if you feel sick. Well, I’m not gonna be alone. I mean, Doug and Julie are right upstairs and I I don’t feel sick. Exactly. It’s just. This is just a lot, you know, it’s a lot to take in and, and, and I, I think it would just make things worse sitting around the police station.

So I must have showed up after I grabbed the jewelry and then took off. Yeah, I guess. But why, What did he hear? Have against down the Gail? I, Why do you dare? You’re gonna be less out of here in a few hours.

Well, why you came me like that? I’m trying to figure out why you made a special trip to give me all this info. Wasn’t for you. I wouldn’t even be in here. So now, or even, Cause it wasn’t too long ago, I was on the other side of those bars because you couldn’t shut your big mouths. Are you still playing me?

I just told you who the murderer is. How, how? How is that playing? One I know you. And two, if they’re so short, Clyde, why am I in the cell? Instead of him? Maybe they can. He’s on their own with fancy, isn’t he? I could see it now. The two of them cutting a SWAT across the Midwest on a crime spree, like a new vo.

Bonnie and Clyde get it. Of course she’s gonna have to change her name. Clyde didn’t even show up at City Hall. Well, he probably knew the cops were after

it’s Chloe. I just can’t, No, let me, let me, It’s okay. Let me. Hey, honey. Uh, yeah, it’s Bonnie. Your mom is with me and she’s okay. She just, um, she really can’t come to the phone right now. No. She’s gonna stay with me a while and she’ll call you when he’s feeling better. Okay. Hi. You don’t have to thank me.

She’s my friend.

She’s worried about you and why wouldn’t she be ? I don’t know whether I’m desperate or just stupid. Maybe I’m a combination of both. Don’t, don’t. You dare do that. Money. All I wanted was someone to love me, and all Clyde wanted was a warm bed in somebody to vouch for him a needy bra who could make him legit after his time in prison.

Well, he sure found her.

You broke into a woman’s house and you didn’t want her asking you questions. You just didn’t like that she was onto you, did you? You stupid bastard. Are you sure you want to hear this? You wanna keep living talk,

hear the boss.

Yeah. I do feel a little silly wearing gloves, but what happened was I was taking a pot off the stove at the pub. It was so dang hot. It blistered my fingers just wearing the gloves. Keep the lotion off. Hm. Well, maybe you need more than lot. So why don’t you take the gloves off and let me look at your hands.

I don’t see any need to do that. That’s what I thought. Why is it that every crook I know decided to stop by tonight? What do you baling about? My sister’s supposed to be in prison. She breaks in for a chat. Now you so tell you what, why don’t you come up with a more believable story? I’m gonna go call the police.

You don’t get your hands off me,

Abby. You know, we can just stop right here. The rest is gonna be even harder on you. You probably don’t even want see me anymore. Go, go. I told you I wanted to hear it all and I.

Was the wedding cold off? Was it even here? Nancy was, Clyde was a no-show. He must have figured you were off after him. Now keep dumped Nancy at the altar. I mean, he is the type, No, when I saw him, he was all dressed up and acted like everything was fine. Have you been in Tuss with Ben? No, I haven’t been able to reach him.

There’s no way Clark could have seen this arrest coming. I just, It doesn’t make any sense. Ej, We have to tell him everything. The whole story. I don’t know what you mean the hell. You don’t what whole story.

Even iFLY is on the run. The police should have caught ’em by now. Even you have managed to evade them for quite a while. I don’t, I don’t think there’s ever been a crowd that you can blend. I’ll take that as a company. I don’t care if you believe me or not about Clyde. I’ve come here to tell you what I know, and now I’m gonna go worry about all the other things I need to worry about.

Don’t go Gwe, I’m sorry. I do believe you. And I’m sorry. I told the police you didn’t.

Sorry That I told them why to find. I deserved it. Anything I can do to make it up to you?

Maybe you could help me figure out what to do about my pill Popping stepmother,

do you remember when we were in Boston together at your grandma? And we talked and we talked and it helped both of us so much.

Who am I gonna talk to now about how much I miss you?

Oh, Abigail.

Well, it seems like I’m just adding to your problems here, but like I said, you’re the boss.

When I saw that knife on the table, I saw way out of the mess. I then,

why don’t you put that phone down before you regret it? Where did that come from? That’s the least. Your worries right now. You really think you’re gonna get away with threatening me? You know, everything has fallen into place for me right now and I swore I’d never go back to prison. So I’ll be Dan if I let you ruin my life like you ruin my sons.

Are you blaming me for Ben’s problems? When he was a kid, you used to beat him within an inch of his life, and him and me were working through that and he was doing just fine until he got tangled up with you. You were living with Ben and cheating on him with Rich Boy Amira, and you got yourself knocked up and tried to pass that baby off as his, I thought that I was telling the truth about the baby because you changed the paternity results.

All I know is my boy ended up in a psycho award and you ended up.

So does that really justify threatening me with a knife? Oh, it ain’t all about you, Missy. Your fancy bad singer brother-in-law suddenly remembered it was me. You got him shot. You did that. Dayja told him to keep his mouth shut. He goes and grabs it to that lady lawyer friend of his walking by. To teach him a lesson and shut her up for good.

Well, unfortunately for you, DJ and aren’t here. Yeah. Figured that out. But you knew him. I told DJ that if he did let his mouth, I was coming after his family and sisters mom. They’re. Right. Ain’t not right.

And now we get down to the real nitty gritty.

Chad’s got a gun and you didn’t tell me on the phone that he went looking for Clyde. We don’t know that for sure. Okay. What is a guy like Chad gonna do with a gun? All I told Bell was that the gun wasn’t in the safe. That doesn’t mean Chad has it. I don’t even know if the gun was in this safe. No, that’s not what you said before, ej.

I was mistaken. Now you’re just wasting my time. Listen, I know you think you’re protecting Chad. Now I’m gonna go check with building Security and see if they’ve seen Chad or Clyde, and then I’m gonna put an APB out on Chad. So you keep him here. You keep him outta my way,

I’m sorry, but he needs to know

now you tell me what you did to her and you make it fast. And after that, I’m done with you.

Is that what

you come from Heaven to let me know that you are right

or are you, are you a.

Are, are you here because I miss you so much.

Huh? I know what you are

you the answer to my prayers?

Like

you,

you know, I didn’t want the stand in judgment of Jennifer and not a good look for you. For the minute I said something to her, she said that if I told Jack, she would just unleash on me the saint did. Jennifer, you’re the highest a kite. Jennifer, are you sure? Yes, I’m sure. I’ve spent all those years with my mom.

She said if I even open my mouth to Jack, that she would she’d ruin what little relationship I have left with him. Hmm. Feeling stuck Are. God, I’ve really progressed in my relationship with Jack. I don’t wanna ruin that. And he really cares about Jennifer. He deserves to know what she’s doing to herself.

Maybe he can help her. This is why you and I have got to get back to being tighter than Channing Tatum’s. You my dear, have lost your edge. I have not. I have more edge now than before. What is the golden rule of Grif? Always look out for old number one. Telling daddy about his wife’s drug problem isn’t gonna get you squat.

In fact, it might get you less than squat. So we’re gonna take that off the table. Wow, this is brilliant advice. Okay, now I know you’ve got off to spend a little time with Cousin Mattie. You’ll be back to your selfish self in no time. You know, Jennifer, dipping into mother’s little helpers could actually work out for you.

Oh, can’t wait to hear where this goes next. Well, you wanna be closer to your dad, right? When Jen goes off the rails, he’s gonna need someone’s lean on. We know it isn’t gonna be happen. Ah, Matt, what? Bottom line. Jennifer’s pill habit is Jennifer’s problem, not yours. When I finally get out of here, you and I are gonna have a drink to that

here. Just don’t drink it too fast. All right. All right. Let’s put this down for a second. Actually, come here a little. Do not blame yourself because you got conned by an expert. First of all, honey, he fooled the cops too. What’s wrong with trusting? What’s wrong? With believing in love? We should all be as openhearted as you.

It’s so easy for you because you have Justin. Yes, and I thank my lucky stars every day for that. But that’s because for my entire life, I didn’t think I deserve what I have now. Oh, no. Yeah. No. I was as down on myself as you are now. But I am here to tell you it does get better. It does now. You learned a hard lesson.

You don’t let to guard down until you know everything there is to know about a med, right? Right. So now you need to believe in yourself, don’t you? Gar Clyde or Craig take that away from you? They have no, look at me. They have already taken away so much.

Thank you.

One. Jack, what are you doing here? Well, I came here looking for an update, but it looks like it already down on the search. You probably should know that about Clyde Western. Yeah, I already know. It’s actually why I’m here. I’ve just told Leo. Well, I guess it’s just a waiting game now. I should, I should probably be getting back to Jennifer.

You left her home alone. Well, no, I’m Doug and Julia there. Why? Sorry. I dunno. I’m just a bit junky. You know, all this western business, him being out on the. Gwen, I’ve gotten to know when you’re not telling me the whole truth,

you’re right, I’m not. There’s something that you need to know about Jennifer.

I miss you every second of every.

People keep talking to me about closure, but I feel like there’s this part of me that’s just been ripped off.

How do you close a wound like that?

I started, I started taking these again, just just to get to the. I, I, I really don’t want to, I just, I know, I know. I promise that I never would, again, I wouldn’t touch them, but

I, I just don’t know how else I can go on living without you.

It’s just, if I just understood why I need that. I just, I just need that so much. Is that why you’re here? Is that why you’re here to, to tell me the truth, because I need that so badly. I need that more than I need these. I need that more than I need anything.

Can’t you guess what happened next? You really warm spelled out for you. Yeah. What I want, it’s for you to use the last few minutes of your rotten life to tell me what you did to my. You asked for it. You so bitch. You’re not gonna get away with this.

Yeah, the output from security cameras is on here, so if Chad or Cly went through that foyer, this camera would’ve picked them up. Let’s see here. Camera one

doesn’t show which way they went when they. There’s gotta be a better angle from another camera. So you got, uh, camera one. Camera one’s got a perfect view of the outside door.

Do you have any idea where tab taken?

I took our kids to a movie. We were eating popcorn and laughing. While you were doing that to her,

did you enjoy it?

Dejo,

How do you know that Jennifers taking prescription drugs? Well, I went back into the house because I’d forgotten my purse, and she was holding the bottle in her hand and I could see from the first three letters on the generic label, I knew instantly what they were. Are you sure what you saw? I was blackmailed into delivering the same things with Dr.

Feel good last summer? Yes. Yes. I’m sure. No, no, no, no. You can be right. I mean, I mean, yes, she had a problem before, but she, she, she wouldn’t get back into that stuff again. She’s stronger now. Strong enough to deal with the brutal murder of her only daughter.

No, you can’t be right,

Jack. I. I told her that I knew and she threatened to turn you against me if I said anything. God, you.

When,

Oh my God.

Okay.

Okay.

So you stabbed my wife. You left it for dead. You sent your message to ej. What did Sonny ever do to you? Why would you go after my best friend too?

Had nothing to do with you. I wasn’t even planning on it. I read in the paper how Leo Stark was saying that when somebody confessed to kill an Abigail, I knew that wouldn’t own the, I mean if anyone knew she was innocent, it’s me and somebody had to pay for the craft. So to I figure who better than that little pansy Cause Nancy so much trouble as she told me.

He made a list of all the people he was gonna get even with. I knew all I had to do was get ahold of that list,

took her right out of his bag when Idiot wouldn’t looking sure enough Abigail’s name was there. So all I had to do was take out somebody else on that list and it would look like he was knocking ’em off on that one.

Could have been Chloe, you know, cuz of Nancy and um, Brady Black. Same thing, which left, um, you and son, but I guess you looked down. So I started trailing Leo. He led me in light to your Buddy’s office. All I had to do is wait, he’s back to me and. He used the same guy. I used with Abigail, and then all I had to do was set the scene.

Is that enough detail for you? I mean, I could probably describe the blood stains to the floor if you’d like me to. I’ll be satisfied when you’re dead. Yeah. You know, you keep saying that, but you haven’t pulled the trigger yet.

Thank you so much for trying to make me feel better, but I don’t know how I’m ever gonna come back from this one two punch. Honey, I’m not gonna be able to walk into a room without people pointing and whispering about me, honey, if I worried about stuff like that, I’d have to live in a desert of Mars.

Seriously, some place where nobody knows who I am and that ain’t happening. I judged in this household every day before breakfast. No, it’s true , but not by Justin kk. I live life the man I love. And that makes it worth, and you are gonna have that too. Did you have to? No. You have to promise me that you’re not gonna stop trying to be happy and don’t ever stop believing in love.

Jennifer, Jen, Jennifer, Honey, are.

Was Clyde. I swear I’m gonna make him paid. Anyone who ever hurt. Anyone who ever even thought about hurting you, I swear

they will be sorry they ever hurt.

Oh, there’s no sign of ej. It’s like he just disappeared in the thin air. Well, he probably thinks he knows where Chad is. Oh, great. So I got a murder on the loose and I got two Demira brothers with revenge on their brains. Beautiful.

You don’t have the guts. Do your big man. Show your mouth. Come on. Come on. Shoot in our man and cold blood.

Okay.

Yeah, he’ll be with Abigail soon. Now, Chad won’t take long now.

I never told you, but my Nancy’s married to crash and burn. I gave her little pep, Anna a makeover and I got her on a dating app where I, um, Thank you very much.

Found the sexy stud, who is now her fiance. Mm-hmm. . So she met Clyde. Yes. Isn’t that a coincidence? Uh, Justin, I am just so thrilled for Nancy. I, she was just so crushed when she found out that Craig was cheating on her with a man. I swear now she’s found someone will make her happy for the rest of her life.

So take that Craig Wesley.

Dad, please, can you just talk to her? She will not listen to me. You think she’s gonna listen to me? The guy who broke her heart, Pray through hell. Who do you think’s gonna happen when she becomes Mrs. Clyde Weston Dad? She’s making the biggest mistake of her life. Honey, I understand your concerns, but can put me in the middle of this.

It’s not my place to tell your mom who she should or shouldn’t. Sorry, I just want to, I just talked to Chloe and she and Brady and Craig are gonna meet us at City Hall. Great. That we’re all set. Oh God. I thought my life was over and, and you came along, gave me hope. I love you, Claire, and I can’t wait to be your.

I can’t believe it. Flight to alibis. Bogus. There’s no doubt that he docked the surveillance footage by the docks. Well, which we would never known. Were not for you. Good job, Detective Hunter. Thanks. But you were the one who told me to go over everything again. I mean, that’s why I was able to see. That’s timestamp having altered.

It looks like Chad was right about Leo being framed for Abigail’s murder. Who’s just wrong about who was doing it? Yeah. He thought it was Craig Wesley. But it was glide. We need to issue an arrest warrant on it. We need to do it fast, but by the book. I do assure Chad that his wife’s killer is not gonna slip through our hands again.

What are you doing here?

Like sands through the hour glass. So are the days of our lives.

Dad, can you please go talk to her? Tell her she cannot go through with this wedding. Chloe, maybe. Maybe we should take a minute. We don’t have a minute. We’re due at city hall. We gotta do this now. Oh, you’re not hearing me. Well, you weren’t hearing us before. Remember when we were begging you to see that Leo is a conning lying con artist.

What if we’d stop trying and just said, Forget it. Throw our hands up in the air. You would be broke and married to a bigamist. And I am grateful that you and Brady and everyone who cared about me tried to tell me the truth at the time, but I didn’t wanna listen then. Well, I know. And we did it because we love you and I know that you love mom.

So please, you need to go talk some sense into her. Oh, your mom’s made her choice. And whether we like it or not, kinds. He’s paid his debt to society and from what I can tell, he’s staying on that side of the law.

This marriage is a bit sudden. No. Huh? Well, you find the one. Why? Wait. Huh? You don’t agree? No. In this case, I definitely do not agree. And Bonnie, how can you be excited about Nancy or anyone else marrying a criminal like Clyde Weston? Here’s a rap sheet. As long as my arm, and I believe that he had son stabbed.

Oh, Leo stabbed son. Unless you think he and Clyde were in cahoots. No, I’m talking about an incident that happened several years. It was Clyde’s way of sending Victor a message during a business view that they were having, but no one was ever able to prove that it was him. Well, then maybe he wasn’t involved.

Oh, he was involved. Are you sure? I’m sure I Now he’s involved with Nancy. Sorry to rain on your parade, but this wedding is nothing to Celebr.

Back at your sweetheart. Can’t wait to be your lawfully wooded husband. I just get chills here. You say that, I don’t know if it was fate or good fortune or divine providence, but I’m one lucky man to have you in my life. You wore my miracle. Oh God, it’s true. You know, I got that dating nap. I didn’t think a jail bird like me stood a snowballs chance in hell of meeting anybody, which let a woman like you wanna marry me.

But you took a chance on me and I’m forever grateful. Yeah, I’m just so glad I did. Every day keeps going better and better. This is the best one yet, is our wedding day. Oh, I gotta get a move on. I’ve gotta go make myself beautiful. You already are. Oh, I will see you soon. Right. Bye Bye.

I just came by to pick something up. Another stuffed Mo Charlotte. Oh, something else. And now I have it, so I have to go. Are you alright? Get outta my way. Can you at least tell me if there’s any news on Leo? Are yours innocent? What do you mean? Believe wasn’t the one who killed my wife. It was Clyde Weston.

And now I’m gonna make Hampshire that he pays

well, good evening, their counselor. Where are you off to in such a hurry. None of your business. Well, before you go, tell me how’s your client doing? You know my old buddy partner in crime, EJ Deira, As far as I know, he’s fine. Why do you ask? No reason? You give him my best will you? Don’t worry. I’m gonna hurry myself going to the chapel.

Gonna get married. What? . Well, City Hall, Ashley, your friend Chloe from Mom not getting hitched now. You actually surprise counselor isn’t not the way the criminal justice system is supposed to work. I do my time. I get a second chance. My second chance comes tonight.

Slide. Weston is a career criminal. Who’s to say he didn’t get outta prison and just pick up right where he left off? He’s making honest Living at the pub. Yeah, right. He’s probably dealing drugs outta that place. Oh, at Roman Brady’s. The former police commissioner who gave him a job when no one else would.

I don’t think so. Why are you being so easy on him? Dad, Clyde is a psycho who abused his own children and their mother. What if he does that to mom? Chloe? What? He traumatized Ben so badly. He turned him into a psychopath, a serial killer. Chloe. That was a long time ago. Look, I don’t think this guy’s good for your mom.

I told him, so when I first met him, the side would I. The mom’s made a choice and, and Clyde has shown no signs of going back to the other side. So we gotta be fair. We can’t judge you. So what we just let mom take this ridiculous chance with this guy, this guy that she barely knows. I mean, come on Dad.

Even if Clyde was a perfectly lovely, upstanding citizen with no rap sheet, isn’t it too soon for her to be marrying? Sweetheart. Mother is very happy right now. I don’t wanna be the one to deprive her because I’m being negative. Look, all we have to do, be positive. Show her our support. Okay,

Alex, Alex. Calm down. I will talk to son and try to smooth things over. Yes, I promise I’ll call him right now. What was that about? Alex and Sonny got into a big fight over Titan. Okay. So I have to call Sonny and see if I can sort this out.

Mommy. Nancy Henderson let me in. I hope it’s okay. Well, yes, of course. Aren’t you getting married tonight? Oh, but nothing in my class at works. It’s too late to go shopping. Will you please help me? Oh, honey, of course. How much time do we have? Oh, not much. Well, I just have to work my body magic that much faster,

And before you know it, I’ll have you transformed into the most beautiful bride that ever lived. All right. So just spin around. Let’s get to it. Okay? Okay. Yeah, it’s Rafe. Listen, I just wanna give you a heads up. Claude Wesson’s alibi for Abigail’s murder fell apart. The surveillance footage from the docks was tampered with.

Uh, we just got the arrest warrant and, uh, Now we’re gonna go pick him up. So, uh, I’ll be in touch. Okay? Now all we have to do is find him.

You should warn me that Clyde West didn’t threatened our family. Do you know I’ll never stop being sorry. And forgive me for asking, but doesn’t Clyde have an alibi for that night? I don’t answer your question. Chad, please tell me what happened with Clyde. I want to help

the marriage falls apart. We’ll be there for her. Okay? Right now, I think we owe your mother all the support we can. We gotta be positive and optimistic. Well, I can’t do that. Not if she’s marrying that thug. Come on, Brady. Help me convince him that we have to get my mom to reconsider her. Chloe. Chloe, Look at me sweetie.

I’m sorry. I think your father is right on this one. What? Listen, I hear everything you’re. And I too wish that your mother was making a different decision about Marion Clyde, but it is her decision to make, We have to stay out of it. So unless you plan on being a nohow, maybe we should get ready for a wedding.

Come and as sweetheart, let’s see what we got here.

So I’ve never seen you look more beautiful. Oh,

what’s this? Every bride serves a Okay. And I want you to see it. I’ve had it wrapped in. And the outfit you’re wearing, you borrowed from me and it happens to be new. Also, a necklace you borrowed and that I’ve let you is vintage, so you’ve got all your bridal bases covered. My hair. I’m so touched, buddy.

Thank you. Thank you so much. You know, our, our, our wedding is gonna be very small. Just family. But I would love it if you and and Justin would come.

Oh, my Justin check out our Boshing bride. Is that she fors all because of Bonnie. Oh, I guess that phone call didn’t go so well with Sunny. Um, are things that bad with him and Alex, this isn’t about Alex. What is it about? I don’t know how to say this except to just say it. Clyde was the one who stabbed son.

Oh God. What? Justin, Why would you lay that old news on Nancy on a wedding date? Oh my God. That’s something that happened so long ago. Victor and Clyde had a business wobble. Vic claimed that Clyde sent a message by stabbing son, Bonnie, and watch what? I’m not talking about that. Talking about the stabbing that just happened, the one that landed my son in the hospital.

No, no, Leo did that. Turns out he didn’t. Son just told me that the one who attacked him is Clyde West.

Please chair, call me back as soon as. This. I really do want to help. Well, what are you doing here? Well, I just had a run in with Clyde Weston. Are you alright? Yeah, I’m fine. But I thought you should know since he asked about you in a way that was very unsettling. Where was this? It was in the square. Do you know he’s marrying Chloe’s mom tonight?

Oh my God. I know. It’s horrifying. We can’t let Nancy marry a guy who, who, who put a hit on you and left you to die, and that’s not all he did. According to Chad Clyde’s, also the one who murdered Abigail.

What are you talking about? Clyde did not stab anyone. Yes, Sonny was stabbed from behind. He didn’t see who did it. He didn’t. He only knew that his attacker smelled of vanilla. I guess it was vanilla scented cologne lately. I mean, do you know how many people wear that? That doesn’t prove to any. This afternoon, he also remembered seeing Clyde’s reflection in a picture frame hanging on the wall in his office.

Sonny’s in the hospital being p full of drugs. You can’t trust anything he says. And besides, why would Clyde go after Sonny? Because of some old grudge with with Victor. That’s not why he did it. Son is convinced that Clyde was trying to. Leo Stark. That is even more ridiculous. Leo is out for revenge. He has this hit list, and first on the list was Abigail and then Sunny.

Yes. But after Abigail was murdered, the cops turned Leo loose. They cleared him, so Clyde had to find a way to implicate him again. Seal the deal, if you will. You’re not saying what I think you’re saying. Clyde that he just stab at my son. He also murdered Abigail Damara.

But I thought Clyde had an alibi. So did I. I asked Chad to tell me what it changed, but he just stormed off. He’s in a bad way Bell. I’m really worried about him. Okay. Maybe we should call the police. How would that. I’m gonna handle Clyde, myself.

Cloud’s not here. Dishwasher said he took the night off. Should we check his girlfriend’s house? No, he’s not there either. He’s getting married. Married? Yeah. City hall. Well, let’s go. Yep.

Hey, what you doing? Every buddy? Don’t make a scene. I want you to pretend like everything is. And come with me. I’ll kill you right here, right now. Whoa. We hope Justin, you would be a hot shot attorney, but CDE is innocent. He has an air tight alibi for the night that Abigail was killed, he was down at the doc’s fishing.

There’s a video to prove it. Maybe it would help if you spoke directly with Sonny. Sonny is confused. I mean, and I’m sorry about that. And I’m sorry for everything that he’s been through, but I have a wedding that I need to get to. Bonnie, I, um, I wanna thank you for everything that you’ve done for me, Nancy.

Nancy, listen, I strongly advise you to rethink this wedding. No. Stop trying to ruin this for me. Crye is innocent and he loves. And I am getting married today. Please, this is a big step. So before you take it, just talk to my son. No, and stop it. Right. This one, I am not listening to anymore of this insanity.

I am getting married today and nothing, nothing you can say or do is going to stop me.

I wanna thank you for everything you’ve done for me, but given how your husband feels about my fiance, I don’t think it’s a good idea that you come to my wedding. Oh,

Nancy’s, right? Of course. It’s just right. I mean, CL would never set up anyone. You don’t really believe that? I believe in innocent until perfect. Guilty. I thought you did. Sunny says he saw fly in a reflection. And honey, Nancy’s right son’s on a lot of painkillers. I’m telling you, I saw elephants and pink tutus when I was on those things.

I son could have made a mistake, honey. I don’t think so. You know what? If flights stabbed him before, it makes perfect sense that Sunny’s wine will go there. But honey doesn’t make it really. Hde Weston has done terrible things. So have I. And I know what it’s like to be unfairly judged about your past.

Honey, I was a rotten person, but I changed. Maybe Clyde’s changed too. For Nancy sake. I really hope you’re right.

All is everyone. Thought we were running late. uh, well this might be a, a good sign. Maybe mom changed her mind and canceled the wedding. Uh uh uh, she’s probably just taking some extra time. Getting ready or she wised up and ran. Chloe, we’re going to be supportive. Glad Weston isn’t even here. I mean, what’s keeping him?

Oh, that’s the perfect excuse to leave. We came here, the bride and groomer Mia, so we took off. We can’t do that. Why not? No one’s here. Not even the efficient. I am sure they’re on their way. Well, I gave ’em two more minutes than I’m out Chloe. I know how you feel about the situation, but we are not bailing on your mom.

This is her big day. She asked us to come look. Think I heard she believe she came through that door. We weren’t here. Hmm. And it’s probably her right now. Oh my. I can’t believe this. Did you, did you? Track me here to my ex-wife’s wedding. I, I told you at that interrogation I had nothing to do with Abigail or Sunny.

Wait, no you didn’t stab either one of ’em. You know who did well, we have reason to believe it was Clyde Weston. What doesn’t he have an alibi? Uh, fell apart. Yeah, the timestamp on the video footage that put him at the dock that night, it was altered. Oh my God. I mean, I knew Clyde was a bad guy, but is he?

He’s that bad. He stabbed Sunny and he killed Abigail that way. Oh my God. My mom’s gonna marry that guy. That’s why we’re here. We wanted to get to him before he walks down the aisle.

The hell we doing here, man, that headstone, look at it. I said look at it.

That was my wife, the mother of my children. I wanna know why you put her in the ground. You got the wrong guy man. I had nothing to do with it. I have an alibi, Frog xr. Rav told me that that footage was tampered with, why everyone, including the cops, knows that you were trying to cover your track. So why would you do that if you weren’t guilty?

I wanna know why. Why did you do it? Why did you slaughter? My wife start dog. She crying. Why did you wanna send a message to my brother? Is that why you targeted Abigail? Huh? To warn him against talking about what you did to him? No, it wasn’t like that at all. Then what was it like?

Tell me the truth. I’m telling you the truth.

Abi

man. She wouldn’t know what I meant to kill.

Who was

start talking? He was bail.

Bales the one hour’s half.

What do you mean you’re gonna handle Clyde? What are you planning to do? What I should have done a long time ago. I should have put that animal down the minute I remembered he was the one who had me shut. Okay, EJ take. I’ve lost everything because of him. This ends now. No more.

What’s in there? My father’s God. No ej, I am not gonna let you kill Clyde. If you do that, you’re gonna lose everything all over again. You will end up behind bars for the rest of your life. Abigail is dead because of me, because I kept quiet about what I knew. I brought this help on my family, and now I intend to make things right.

No, ej, you can’t do this. What the hell? What? The God it’s gone.

Bonnie, I love that you have such a forgiving heart, but not everyone is able to turn their life around like you did.

I was able to turn my life around because I had the love of a good man. And now Clyde has the love of a good woman. Can’t you least try to give him the benefit of the,

Sonny was pretty sure about what happened, but Okay, I will talk to him. Thank you. You okay? I’m just worried about Nancy. How the world is she gonna handle getting her heart broken all over again? Well, she’ll just have to lean on the people who care about her wonderful friends like you.

Well, they were supposed to be here by now. What if Clyde found out that the cops are after him and kidnapped my mom and. Oh my God. We have to find them. Hi. Oh, thank God they got Mom. Are you okay? I’m fine. What’s going on? Where’s Clyde? We don’t know. We’re actually trying to find him. You don’t know where he is?

No, I don’t. But I know why you’re hunting him down. It’s because of what son Kka said. Justin told me all about it. Yeah, we just need to find him because he wears vanilla scented cologne. And that son saw his reflection. Huh? Clyde is not the one that stabbed son. His reflection son says that he saw Clyde’s reflection in a picture frame hanging on the wall in.

Wait, he saw a flight in his office? No, he was hallucinating from all the drugs that they’re giving him in the hospital. It’s like to sit down. I can get you some water or something. I do not wanna sit down and I am not thirsty. I’m getting married. Mom, this is not just about sunny. The police also believe that he killed Abigail.

Justin told me that too, but he didn’t. He has an alibi. There’s a video that proves it, Mom. It’s, it’s, it’s fake. The timestamp was altered, The time stamp.

No. No. No, I’m afraid your daughter’s right. Clyde has multiple felonies out and we have a warrant for his arrest.

No.

Why in the hell would you go after Bell?

Because EJ blabbed her after I told him to keep his mouth shut. About what? Our history, What does that have to do with my wife? I’m trying to tell you, man, but tell me faster. I paint a visit to the management, whatnot. Made the excuse that I was there to talk business with ej.

How the hell would you get on the. It wasn’t very difficult. Well, you wasted you the time. You know, Welcome here. Not a very warm welcome for your old cell mate.

Got anything to drink? I didn’t trust your brother,

so I planted that bug in the house so I could keep some tabs on them. That’s a good thing I did. Because when I listened to Courtney, I found out he’d betrayed me. I pushed play and heard EJ talking to Bell. Everyone said that you were shot by a mugger in the park. You’re saying Clyde did it. He didn’t pull the trigger.

He lured me to the park, threatened me. When things became heated, his man shot me and then they left me there to. That ain’t all he told her. I confronted Clyde before he was being released about what I remembered. He said if I turned him in, it wouldn’t just be me. He would make pay. He would take it. My entire family, EJ assured me that what happened in the park would be our secret, but he’d lied.

But you can’t let Clyde get away with this. I’m not going. It may take some time for my plan to be put into action, but once it is, I’m going to guarantee that Clyde Austin will never be able to hurt me or anyone I love ever again. Your brother wanted to rub me out, but bail talked him out of it. Listen to me, ej.

I am not talking to you as your lawyer now. I am talking to you as someone who really cares about. Don’t be an idiot. You cannot take the law into your own hand. But make no mistake, she still had every intention of making me pay. I think you’re going down the wrong path, okay? And if you try to deal with Clyde on your own, things aren’t gonna work out well for you.

Or what do I do? Just get over the fact that Clyde shot me in the back. No, but you know, you could, Let me think about it and let me figure out a legal way to bring Clyde to justice. So I knew they were coming after me one way or another, so I decided to send EJ a message using Bell. Yeah, I knew she was living with EJ Dimension, so I decided to teach her lesson.

Bella was calm. Oh, thank God. No. Chad what? When he came by earlier, he said he came to pick something up. It was the gun. Are you sure? Maybe it wasn’t in there. I saw it yesterday when I put something in the safe. Chad definitely took it. Why isn’t it obvious? Chad just found out who really murdered his wife.

He’s going to handle Clyde himself. He’s going to kill him. My brother is going to kill Clyde. We need an AP B on Clyde Weston. He’s wanted for murder and attempted murder. Consider him extremely dangerous. He’s just kidding. True. It just can’t be true. Don’t, don’t you touch me. I’ll see if I can catch her.

I’ll come with you.

Now. I really am calling the police to say what? But my brother has a gun. He’s gonna use it to kill Clyde. We have to do something. I’m right. We do. We need to find Chad ourselves before it’s too late.

I’m still waiting to find out how you went from taking bell out to murdering my wife. When I got to the Manion that night,

there was no sign of Bell or your brother, so when you couldn’t find. He decided to murder my wife. That ain’t how it went down. Stop telling me what didn’t happen. It start telling me what did I wanna know how my wife died

and I wanna know everything.

Why’s been living in Nancy Wesley’s house, right? Maybe he’s gone back there. No, I told you they’re getting married today. Do you know where I, I think City hall? Nope. No, no, no. What? No, I’m going with you. No. Yes. But first I’m going to call Sean and tell him that we think that Clyde is at City Hall. I told you I don’t want put all the fully let finish.

Chad is not experienced with guns and Clyde. What happens if he gets the gun away from Chad and uses it on him? Are you ready to deal with that? Uh, alright. Go ahead and call the police, but do it from the car. Okay? Okay.

Sit, sit, sit, sit, sit. Really doing some tea. Have a stiff drink. Oh God. Nancy, I’m sorry. I know what Justin said upset you. It’s so clean, buddy. Justin was right. What? What are you talking about? Craig never showed up for the wedding, but the police did. They had a warrant for his arrest. He’s the one that stabs Sunny and what’s worse?

So much worse. Oh, honey, go on. Go on honey. They said that. Take your time buddy. They said that he killed advocate. Oh God. Oh my God. I suspected, but I didn’t wanna believe it. I’m so sorry. I’m trying so hard not to believe it now, but I kept saying to them the kind that I know he would never do such horrible things, but nothing I said changed their mind.

Well, Lindsey, they had to have proof. Yes. But I just kept right on arguing with them, and I just had this little voice inside of me saying to me, Are you arguing because you think you’re right? Or are you arguing because you’re terrified that you’re wrong? Bonnie? Honey. Honey. Oh.

Start talking. You don’t want to do this to yourself, son, shut up. I Tell me how you did it. I don’t think that hearing about it is gonna do you any good. I know it’s gonna be bad for me. They’re stalling. Yeah. I saw a freshly dog grave over there. Why don’t we try that on for size?

Days of Our Lives Transcript

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Oh, Detective Hunter, I keep telling you Mrs. Hernandez, please call me Jada and I keep telling you Jada to call me Nicole. What brings you by, Well, I know it’s Eric’s first day here, so you brought him his lunch. No, uh, I meant that I hate to bother him, but I think he has my phone. This is his, I must have picked it up by mistake, Lynn, when you woke up in bed together this morning

and call purchasing and say that we need an extra order of that wool.

Okay, so how did things go with Bell? Well, my hand is cramping from all the documents I had to sign. It’s official. I have full custody of Rachel . Oh, I’m so happy for you, Brady and for Rachel.

I’m so, I’m honestly, I’m so overwhelmed, but I’m also surprised. I’m surprised with all that stuff that Kristen Dred up in the courtroom. I, I don’t know how the judge ruled in my favor, but, Huh. Well, hi.

So once you get back into Salem last night, uh, and when was the last time you saw Leo? Um, I think just now would’ve been, um, probably the morning after our, our boarded wedding. Ugh. Yeah. So you left town right after that? Mm-hmm. . Mm. When, Right back to New York when cut ties. I Could I ask where you were?

September 1st? I’m, I’m not sure why. Well, it’s nice. Sunny C was stabbed.

That’s odd. What? Well, all the time that Craig and I were married, he, he never wore after shave or cologne. Maybe he started wearing it after the, the two of you split up something that smells like vanilla. Oh, that would be a coincidence. Why do you, why do you say that? Because that’s what my fiance wears.

Clyde Wesson. Mm-hmm. , You know, at first I kind of thought it was feminine because it’s so sweet, but. You now? I kind of like it.

What? Nothing. I just thought that I smell Benoa.

Oh my God. Chad, what is it? What’s wrong?

Clyde.

Like sand through the hour class. So are the days of our lives.

Well, I happened to run into the judge in the hallway outside of the hearing. And I told her that we knew we can’t use Kristen’s past crimes against her because of her. Pardon? But I told her that I have evidence that she tried to assault me after she was released. You told the judge that she threatened to attack you with the letter opener?

Well, I didn’t give her the play by play, but I gave her the surveillance video from our office. I’m assuming she watched it. Why didn’t you tell me about that earlier? Because if Kristen found out that I was the reason that she lost this case, then she would use that against me with Rachel. And, and even worse, she would use that against you.

And I didn’t want Rachel hating you for being with me. I mean, that that poor kid has been through enough already. And the judge was okay with this. Well, she was a little. Wary, but I sort of sense that she was really frustrated with this whole situation and I think she clearly knew that there was a whole lot more that was going on that she wasn’t privy to.

But because of Kristen’s, pardon? She couldn’t even consider any of the real facts. So I considered this just helping un entire hands a bit so that she could make the ruling she wanted to make all. Look, I know, I know this was a bit risky, but I just, I couldn’t stand by and watch you lose custody of Rachel to that monster.

So I am not sorry for what I did, but I, I’m sorry that I didn’t tell you Sarah. Don’t, don’t, I don’t even want to hear you say sorry you didn’t have to be sorry about anything. You understand Because of you, I, I’m not gonna lose my little girl. I’m gonna have her forever. Chloe, I told you recently how much I adore you.

Well, that was very transparent. Transparent meaning what? The comments you just made. Or was it a question? Well, I, I suppose it was a, uh, rhetorical question that I already knew the answer to. What? Why are you looking at me that way? What way? Like, I’ve offended you so deeply. Look, you are the one that told me you had Eric’s phone and he had yours.

Yeah. And then total non sequiter, you ask if the phone mix up happened when Eric and I were in bed together. Well, it was a reasonable assumption. I, I mean, this image just popped in my head. That’s all. I had pictured these phones getting mixed up under the sheets or whatever. Eric and I don’t keep our phones in the sheets.

Well, I just, I meant that, you know, I pictured you and Eric waking up in bed together. So what, how is that transparent? Oh, come on. It does not take a strength to realize that you’re being bothered that I’m involved with your ex-husband. Which I might understand if it wasn’t for the fact that you are a newly way.

In fact, you are married to a great guy. In my opinion, I am not bothered that Eric has a girlfriend. I’m just protective and look, I really hope you two are right for each other, right? That would make you deliriously happy. Okay. Can we cut the sarcasm please? Well, can you be honest that you are not rooting for Eric and I to be happy?

In fact, you are waiting and hoping that we fall apart. That is not true.

Okay. I admit, I overstepped when I made that comment about you and Eric waking up in bed together. Okay? So whatever you two do behind closed doors is none of my business, but I already knew that you two were. Sleeping together. Yeah. Yeah. Because you told me when I dropped by Erics the other day. Right, right.

Um, that was when you came by to offer Eric the, uh, job, wasn’t it? Your husband had mentioned it to me. Wow. I would thank you. Two would have more interesting things to discuss at the station. Oh, but you see, this is very interesting. You see the day after you came to visit Eric, he was just talking to me about looking for a job, and he said he was looking for one as a photographer, which makes sense considering his vast amount of experience, which makes him the perfect hire for basic black, right?

But he didn’t mention that. In fact, he was saying how scarce these kind of jobs are. Oh, well we just happened to have an opening, and I get all that, but why didn’t Eric mention. I mean, especially since you just offered him the job. At least that’s what you told ra. Excuse me. Are you calling me a liar?

Um, I’m sorry. Commission. Are you asking me if I, if I stab son Cka? I’m just gathering information. Ah, information. About my whereabouts when the attack occurred. Yeah. Um, well I was, I was just visiting with Leo and his cell, as you know, and it was just going on and on about, uh, how I must have, you know, wanted payback for him breaking my heart.

That’s all he kept saying. Is accusations overcome? Um, yeah. I’m aware of the accusation, which are Arthur Raving, So Desperate man. As, as I’m sure you know,

Oh my Rav is Craig. He is accusing me of stabbing Sonny and murdering advocate. Aga dir, I.

Look, you can’t actually believe that I would be so blinded by, by hatred for Leo that I would, I would take an innocent woman’s life. I, I would forget my oath. Did you? No harm. Oh my God.

You believe him? Actually believe him.

What are you uh, doing here at Clyde? Well, as a matter of fact, I just got called in for a random drug test, you know, as part of my parole, which is something you should know a little bit about being an ex con and all. Not exactly. Yeah. I know you got the conviction overturned, but you did several time. You do remember when we shared an address at Statesville, don’t you?

It’s hard to forget. Um, seeing as you tried to. But then Ben tried to stop you and you ended up shing him instead. , isn’t it amazing how I just turned himself into a standup guy? You know, I’m trying to do the same thing. Does that, So, yeah. Ever since I got out, I’m doing everything I can to turn my life around.

You’re looking at a change guy. Oh, glad to hear that. I’d love to stay and chew the fat with you. But Nancy and I got a date, she and I going down the city hall and get hitch. Congratulations. Thank you. You take good care of that husband of years. Now. I’m really glad to hear they caught the guy that attacked him.

Must be a real relief knowing that scum like that is off the street. Now,

Chad, what is it? But I just re remember when I saw Craig Clyde was standing right there. So I must have been his clo I was smelling. That must have been it. You don’t have know what Clyde is now, do you? Um, he’s at the hospital getting his drug test. It’s a condition of his parole troll. But you know, if you really wanna get some of that cologne, you’re not gonna have any problem.

I know for a fact they sell it down at parents I’ll to get some, Huh? Chad, are you sure? You’re all right. You’re as Payless a ghost. I’m fine. I just, I I have to be somewhere.

I never accused you of lying, Nicole. Well, you’re certainly insinuating it. You know what? I’m just gonna leave Eric’s phone here and go. Not yet, not until you let me. Please.

Is Eric working at Basic Black or not? Apparently he is. Okay. Then why would I lie to my husband and tell him that I offered Eric a job if I hadn’t? Maybe because you came to see Eric for some other reason. Like what? You know what? I came to give Eric his phone and to get mine, I did not come here to argue with.

Nicole, it’s like, it’s like we’re some sick competition for Eric’s love and affection, even though you are divorced and married to another man. Jah, I’m not competing with you. And like I explained, aside from being married to Eric, we have a long history as friends and you know what? Because of everything he’s been through lately.

Yes. And you’re protective of him. I get it. You said it many. But what I don’t get and what I find insulting is that you being so damn protective of Eric and I’s relationship, it’s, it’s, it’s suggesting that I’m not good for him. Like he needs protection from me. I mean, you understand how that might make me feel.

You get the shoot all set up, hey.

What’s going on?

Of course, I didn’t stab Sunny K over Murderer Abigail Damir. Aside from the fact that I’m not a homicidal maniac, I wasn’t even in town. And those two attacks occurred. You know, the fact that you are listening to some grifter who takes advantage and prays upon people’s vulnerability, you know, this is an insult, it’s an outrage.

Still be able to provide an alibi.

Yes, of course. And not just for September 1st. I’ll need one for the night of June 10th.

and three months ago, I don’t know what I was doing. So was that a yes or no for the alibi?

You know, I’m, I’m, I’m up and on call. I don’t know where I’m practitioning from day to day. I, Well, that could be a problem for you. Yes. I’ll have my secretary. They’ll get my schedule and I will get back to you. Okay? Yeah. The sooner the better.

You don’t want what? I don’t have to pick Rachel not from school for about an hour. You wanna make this, uh, celebration official? What are we waiting for?

Kidding me? Maybe they’ll go away. Are you here? Mm-hmm. . Oh yeah. I doubt it. Yeah.

Oh sweetheart, I am so glad you’re here. Hello. Hello, Mother. How you doing, Nancy? Oh, I am just wonderful and I can’t wait to tell you both the news. Oh, what news is that? Hi, and I are getting married. Yeah, Mom, we know you told us last night, but I didn’t tell you the best part. We’re getting married today.

Well, hey, hey. How’s, how’s son? Uh, he’s sleeping. He had a visitor earlier, so we kind of knocked him out. Who, Uh, his brother Alex. Okay. You haven’t seen Clyde Wesson anywhere around, have you? I have actually Here he was here. It was kind of weird. Did he go into Sonny’s room? No, not that I saw, but he, I mean, he was, was standing here looking in, He said he was here for a drug test.

Why? Why? What’s going on? I don’t think Leo hurt anyone. I think he’s been Clyde Weston this whole time.

Wait, I’m sorry. You think Clyde was the one who stabbed? Sonny? Why? Where’s this coming from? Okay. You remember, remember yesterday when we, we tried to help Sonny recall what had happened to him when he was attacked. He said that he smelled vanilla. Okay. And then after I ran into Craig and Clyde at Horton Town Square, and, and I smelled it vanilla.

Okay? And then at first I thought it was, But then Nancy said that Clyde Weston wears a cologne and his smells like vanilla. Well, it’s him. You’re marrying Clyde today. When did this happen? It was Clyde’s idea. We’re going to be married at City Hall in an hour. , Why? Why are you rushing into this? You have no reason to get married today.

And I don’t have any reason not to. I mean, quiet is the man that I wanna spend the rest of my life with. Why shouldn’t we make it official as soon as possible? And that’s why I’m here. I’d really like the two of you to be my witnesses. So, um, could you go put on something nice? And you too, Brady? Mom, can we talk about this for one minute?

No. Your father is going to be here any minute. Daddy here. Well, I, I ask him to be here and being part of my wedding. I want both of you to be part of it. Let’s him now. Oh, Craig, you got my message. Please, please tell me that you are free to come to my wedding. Um, I, I’m not sure Nancy. See Mom, even Dad thinks you’re rushing into this.

No, it’s not that. It’s just I. I don’t feel like I’m gonna sell between mood. I just got accused of murder.

Hey, hey babe. Can you wake up? Wake up. Time to wake up. Hey Chad, what’s going on? Hey, Chad. Learned something that might, that might. Prove who your attacker was. It wasn’t la No, I, I don’t think so. So, I, I, Sonny, I know your, your memory’s hazy about what happened and, and who stabbed you. But we’re gonna need you to rack your brain one more time.

I mean, I can for a shot. Look, I, I need you do, do you, when you were attacked, do you remember seeing Clyde Weston?

This is a surprise. I think you might have my phone. I do. Um, yeah. I’m sorry. I didn’t notice. Must be a slow crime day. Yeah. Otherwise you would’ve received a barrage of text messages by now. Yep. Pretty slow day. All right. Well, I better be getting back to the office. I’ll see you right home. Yeah, definitely.

So you said you’re all set up for the shoot. We should head downstairs. Is it me or are things a little tense between you and Jay when I walked in? Tense? Yeah, tense. Not just a little but very. Is there something going on between you two?

Well, you’re right. There was some tension between Jada and me. Why? Because I lied to my husband and she called me out. You lied to rape about what? I hadn’t told him that I came by your place the other day. And when he found out, he asked me why. And I felt awkward telling my current husband that I’d been dreaming about my ex-husband.

So I didn’t tell him the truth. And I told him that I offered you a job and I felt bad about lying to him about that. So I raced over to your place to offer you a job. For real. So you offered me a job to make your lie become the truth. Something like that. Yeah. Well, there’s only one thing left for me to do.

I quit.

Sorry to be late. I had to run over and see Eric over at Basic Black. Everything okay? Yeah, no big deal. We had just Swiss uh, phones by mistake. , right? Yeah. So, uh, how’s his first day going? So far, so good. . Good. Good. Glad. Think you’re working out for him. Yeah. Well I didn’t stay too long, guy. I wanted to get to work.

Any news on the case maybe? Yeah. Um, so know you haven’t been here long, but you’ve had some honors with Melinda Trash, can’t you? I have. She seems like a very tenacious prosecutor. Hmm. Yeah. So might say a little too tenacious. Is that a bad thing? Oh, it can be. Yeah. You know, especially if the suspect is, I.

Wait, I’m sorry. Who do we think is innocent? Leo Stark.

So Leo actually accused you of framing him. He did that bastard. That is absurd, huh? You’re absolutely right’s. Totally ridiculous. You’re an upstanding citizen. You’re a doctor for crying out loud. Craig, you wouldn’t hurt anyone much less kill them. That’s not what the commissioner believes. Otherwise, he would not be entertaining.

Leo’s accusations. Wave. He must know better than to believe a word outta Leo’s mouth. Well, apparently he doesn’t, or he wouldn’t have questioned my alibi. This is ridiculous. You, you are no more guilty than Clyde is. He was accused of killing Abigail, but he had an alibi for the night. She was. He was innocent.

You and Clyde have been unfairly accused. Clyde Weston. Yes. Clyde Weston. He wears a cologne that smells like vanilla. I need you to think, Son. Do Do you remember seeing Clyde that night?

I’m trying. I I’m, I’m sorry. It’s just, there’s nothing. Are you sure? Yes. I mean, I wish I could see anyone. I mean, someone in my mind’s side, but there’s just, there’s nothing happen. Okay. Nothing happening yet, so just try, try again. Take your time. Stay calm. Try again.

Okay. Um,

okay, so I’m at the filing cabinet. I hear someone coming. I start to turn and what, what, what, what? Is it exciting? What is it? Do you remember something

you quit? Why you just started? Because you just admitted that it wasn’t a legitimate job offer. I’m not gonna work for basic black just to ease your guilt because you chose to lie to your husband. I’m wonder, go get my things. Wait, wait. Eric, please just listen to me for a second. Okay? Yes. Initially I may have offered you the job to, to ease my guilt, but we, we do need you here.

Trust me, we do badly because thanks to Kristen in her reign of terror, there’s just been a lot of turnover with our staff. But we do need a photographer whose work I can trust, and you are definitely qualified. So it was strange. This my offer may have been, uh, I still want you here. That is if you wanna work here.

Yes, I wanna work here on one condition. From now on, you’re gonna be up front with rave about us working together because the last thing I want is to cause any trouble between you and your husband.

You think Leo Stark is innocent? I said might be, but as time goes on, I am less and less sure that he’s guilty. Even with all the evidence, Well, it’s hardly an ironclad case, and there’s possibility that Leo is being frame. Okay. The problem with Trask, when she settles on a suspect, especially someone who looks reasonably guilty, well, she’s gonna try and push the whole case through without looking back.

So what do you have in mind? Wow. I want you to look at all the evidence that we have. You’re a fresh pair of eyes. Maybe you see something that I missed. Do you think there’s anything to Stark’s accusation? Craig Wesley, are you leaning in that direction? Honestly, I don’t know, but, uh, I am hesitant to lean into anything without giving it a lot more thought.

Now I am damn sure gonna check and see you on Wesley’s alibi. Yes. In the meantime, want you go through all of this with a fine tooth comb. See if there’s any evidence that someone other than Leo committed these crimes.

Sunny, Come on. Did you?

It was him. I saw him. He was Clyde Weston. Yeah, it was just his reflection in a glass of a painting, but it was definitely him, which he said, Clyde was the most stabbed me. Why would he do this to me, not just you? The fact that he stabbed you with was also used on Abigail. Which means he murdered my wife.

You know, it, it seems like the Salem PD has accused everyone except the guilty party. Okay. Craig, I’m sure all of this will go away as soon as you provide RA with those alibis that he wants. I hope you’re right. You’re right. I, I know I’m right. And then all of this will be over, but today is for me. Can we just celebrate me?

I want that for you guys. No one should be happier than you. Thank you, Craig. And I really want you there. I mean, we’re still family.

Is there any way that you can put aside all your worries and just celebrate today with me? Of course. I’ll come. Nancy, I want to be there for you too. Thank you, Craig.

What am I standing around here for? I gotta go get dress. Be like for my own.

That son of a bitch, they had him in custody and they just let him go cuz he had an alibi. That’s right. Yeah. He said he was fishing at the time of Abigail’s murder. And that’s why you accused my dad because Clyde said he was down at the docks and their surveillance footage to prove that. But I know that I saw his reflection.

How can I be,

How’s it going? I might have so, Tell me. I was going over Clyde’s statement about Leo selling him that jewelry and it mentioned his alibi, and since I wasn’t here when he was a suspect, I decided to look through the surveillance footage for myself. You mean the video of Clyde fishing on the docks At the time I abi Gill’s murder.

Yeah. And there’s a problem with it. Did client say where he was gone after the drug test? He did. He, he’s, he’s going to city hall to marry Nancy today. Char what

I’m tell what we learned and where they can find

of. I will be honest with Rafe in the future. I mean, I, I never should have lied to him in the first place. Then why did you, I mean, when you had a dream about a slow cooker raining, sloppy Joe’s all over me, why would you lie to Rafe about something so silly? Because I lied to you too. You lied about what?

I didn’t. Dream about you getting hit with sloppy joe’s.

The dream I had about us was it was a sex dream.

You had a sex dream about me. Wow. Well, I didn’t mean anything. It was just a dream. On interest of full disclosure, the dream I told you I had about you. Mean, I wasn’t just suddenly delivering singing telegrams. Not exactly. I lied to. Why would you lie? Because I had a sex dream about you too. I mean, but it was just a dream.

Right? Yes. It was just, just a dream. Yeah.

I wanna see you downstairs. Mm-hmm. . Yeah. Yeah. Okay.

Well, I guess I should go get ready for your mom’s wedding. See downstairs, half an hour. Dad, wait. You can’t honestly think that this wedding is a good idea, Chloe, I just want your mom to be happy. You have always Clyde Weston Seems like a long shot to me, more than a long shot. It sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.

Dad, please, please, you have to help me stop.

Clyde. Oh, Oh, no, it, it’s bad luck. You can’t see me before the wedding . Come on. We’ve already seen each other today. You can take that tradition and throw it out the window. Besides, we are not gonna have any bad luck. Did you pass your drug test the flying colors, baby? Hey, nothing gonna stop us from being the husband and wife and sharing a wonderful life together.

So there’s c. Yep. Fishing on the docks at the time of the murder, except what do you see? I’m stand. Whoa. But there was this split second there where it looked like a different number. I went frame by frame. It’s been scrubbed pretty thoroughly, but where it now reads 8:03 PM where the eight is, there’s a ghost of the number 11.

Which means Clyde doesn’t have an alibi for Abigail’s murder. After all,

you want any more? No, I’m good. No you’re not.

I Western still out there. Yeah, not for long, hopefully. But what if he comes back to finish me off?

If he was trying to frame Leo, it would not make any sense for him to go after you again. While Leo’s still locked up. You’re right. Right. You’re right. Yeah. You’re safe. You’re safe here. I’m gonna be here. I’m not. I’m not letting anything else happen to you, but this isn’t just about me.

And then do you think Clyde really could have killed that? Chad thinks so. And I’ll bet right now he is doing his damnest to convince the cops of that.

Jennifer,

I trusted you, buddy. I thought you were my friend. How could you wrap me out to the cops when you know I didn’t kill Abigail? You’re going to help me figure out who was setting me up. They say that. Talking to oneself is the first sign of losing one’s mind. Is that what you’re doing there? Laying groundwork for insanity to defense

like Sands through the hour class. So are the days of our lives.

Didn’t know you were back in town back last night. I heard one turns you in, but it looks like he sold her out first. What are you talking about? Come on, Leo. I’m following the. You steered the cops right to her, whatever. I had no doubt she would get out of it. Uhhuh. , okay. Maybe I earned a little payback myself, but what you did, you are going to burn in hell for it.

What are you doing? I’m just straightening Abigail’s picture. Remember how she always used to come over here and rearrange things? place for everything and everything in his place? Yeah, except our little girl is not in the place where she belongs, Sweetheart.

It’s okay.

You should get that. They’ll go away. More important. It’s okay. I’m, I’m just having a moment. Go see.

Jelly beans fancies. Remember we’re little kids we used to dare each other to eat. Know the little black licorice ones? What are you doing? How Alex Trying to make my little brother feel. How do you think I’m doing if we both know that’s not what you really want?

So you think I don’t make my kid brother feel better? What are you talking about? What I’m talking about is you trying to steal my job and take over Titan.

See, I don’t want your job, Sonny. I’m not trying to steal your job. I don’t want your job. Oh, okay. So you were forced to step in a ceo. Uncle Vic practically begged me to do it. Oh, right. Okay. So it was his idea for you to take over the company, Okay. Yeah. On an interim basis until you were able to get on your feet again.

Interesting. What’s that? Oh no, it’s just, um, From what I’m reading, you’re not just keeping my seat warm. You’re, you’re making big moves. I mean, word is you’re about to take over gcm and then after that you’re gonna acquire, uh, vision industries too. I’m trying to do what’s best for the company. Sonny

You what? You don’t believe me? No, you’re unbelievable. You know what? It’s just like when we were kids, Oh, let me watch your jelly beans for ya. I’ll keep ’em safe. Except when you gave them back. All the purple and red ones are gone. Serious. You’re so bad about me taking you Jelly B. No, that’s, I’m not about to taking over the company.

You should be thanking me for taking over the company son. Because while you’re laid up here on your back, I’m busting my ass trying to keep the stock price up so that there is a company for you to run when you get out. So you did this for me, I did it for the family. I don’t want your spot at the company.

Keep your damn jelly. Alex, Alex, look.

I’m sorry.

What was that? I didn’t hear you. I said I’m sorry. Okay. Look, I’m just, I’m frustrated that I’m stuck here and maybe I overreacted.

Baby, I overreact.

I only want what’s best for you kid. I remember how hard you took it when Leo Stark took you out last time, stopped you from getting a chance of running Titan. Now this guy took you out again. I wanna help you make good on your second chance.

I have no idea what you’re talking about. I did nothing to you. Oh, really? Yes. Really? You’re the one who tricked me into believing that you love me and then you humiliated me on our wedding day. Listen to you. Your words are positively dripping with scorn. They should be. I was hurt. I was humiliated, and, and mortified.

I still am, and all that hurt, humiliation, and mortification. It turned you bitter, didn’t it? Greg filled you with anger and resentment. So much so that you have dedicated your life to making me suffer

Are you somehow blaming me for your cur predicament? You’re damn right I am. You’re the reason I’m in here. What I know, Craig, I figured it out. You’re framing me for the attempted murder of and the murder of Abigail.

Hello, Jennifer. Gwen, sorry to drop in unannounced. I’m sure that I’m the last person that you’d want to. Actually, I’m, I’m grateful that you came. You are. This gives me a chance to Thank you. Thank me for what you turned your friend Leo into the police, and for that, I’m grateful. Oh, that we both know that that couldn’t have been easy for you.

Why? Well, as much as I’d like to say that. Turned in Leo for Abigail’s sake, I did have my own selfish motives. Oh, well you may remember that he falsely accused me of killing my sister, and I was not about to let him get away with that. You called the police out spite, right? Mostly. Well, you know what? I don’t care why you did it.

The only thing that matters now is Abigail’s killer is in custody. I wouldn’t be so sure about that.

Did you see this Leo Stark got arrested? Really? Huh? Well, It looks like your ex-husband’s ex fiance got sold out by his best friend. No. I’m just glad that Abigail and Sonny are finally getting the justice they deserve and that that murderous rodent Leo is getting what he deserves and that you and your daughter safe.

Oh, Clyde, if I told you how much you mean to me, I’m back at you baby. And you know that ring looks really good on your finger. Mm-hmm. , but I’m wondering maybe, maybe you could use a little more bling on that beautiful hand of ears. No, no. I love this ring. I’m talking about putting another band on a still cute little finger.

You mean? I mean, I wanna marry you and I am tired of waiting around. You wanna get married soon? Hell, I wanna get married today.

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen you would’ve lost words before. I, I, I, I’m sorry. It’s just that you wanna get married today. Yeah. Having dinner with your ex last night call of thinking. Did you notice when he saw that ring on your finger? He turned that deep, deep shade of. Hm. He did look a little jealous, didn’t he?

Yeah, he did. So I’m thinking why not double down? Give him a wedding to make him really feel jealous about. Wait, you, you wanna get married today? Just to stick it to Craig? No, sweetheart, I won’t marry. Because I love you and I wanna spend the rest of my life making you happy. I wanna get married today to sweeten the deal a little bit, right?

As you say, sticking it to the guy that cause you so much pain. Well, Craig is definitely not gonna be happy. You telling me you are afraid of Craig ? I mean, what do you think the big bad doctor Wesley’s gonna do anyway?

So tell me why you think Craig could be the murderer. Will and I were with son and we, we were trying to help him remember what had happened when he was attacked. I questioned Sonny myself. He didn’t see anyone. I’m not saying he saw anyone. He didn’t see anyone, but he remembers right when he was attacked, smelling vanilla.

Vanilla. And, and then, and then after that, when I was on my way home, I ran into, And he was offering me condolences about Abigail, and then he gave me a hug and I got a strong with a vanilla. You killed Abigail and then you followed me to the Titan office where you laid in weight. Laid in weight, yes. And then you plunged that knife into Sonny’s back.

You actually think that I stabbed two. For you.

It’s just you and me here, Craig. Like pillow talk without the Saturn encased, goose down. Extra firms we used to lay our heads on. So talk to me. Love her. To love her. Admit what you did. I know you want to,

You know what?

Yeah. Consider this a, uh, Performance bonus for the great job You’re doing well. I’m stuck in there. Really, really, brother. Those are some smart moves you’re making. Seriously, I’m, I’m glad Uncle Vic put in charge. I’m proud of you. I, I’m sorry I ever doubt.

Apologi accepted. Bring it in. Bring it in. Bring it. Oh, oh, oh oh. Alex the back. No, my, That’s my back. Alex, Alex, Alex. Oh, it’s the bad back. I’m sorry. I’ve got the bad back. Yeah, I’m sorry. Hey. I love you, bro. I love you. Hello, ceo, Acting ceo. Hey, am I, uh, interrupting some kind of power lynch? Mm-hmm. . God just splitting some beans.

Um, well I just got a call from a reporter asking for a comment on the LA room systems deal. What about it? You know what, why don’t you just let me handle this pipe, Sonny. Rest. It’s rust. It’s fine. No, got it. Normal. I got it. What’s What’s gone? They wanna know why an LLC owned by Alex, bought the company and then turned around and immediately sold it to Titan.

Did I say something wrong?

I was working on that deal for months only to lose it at the last second to some unknown competitor, and now I find out it was you, son. It is not what you think it sounds like it’s exactly what I think it is. Oh my God. All this talk about how it was Uncle Vic’s idea, how he came to you. Are you kidding?

It was his idea. Really? I can’t believe I felt for this. This was your plan all along, wasn’t it? You have been plotting against me since you got to Salem.

You think Leon’s innocent Leo is anything that innocent but truly I I don’t think he’s the one who killed Abi. Why do you say that? I’ve known Matt a very long time and he has been quite vocal about denying this from the start. It wouldn’t be the first time he lied. No Leo lies like people breathe, especially if it’s to save his own skin.

But honestly, I just, I don’t think he’s got the stomach to stab someone. So you’re basing this mostly on his word. When he and I were in the motel room together, before I turned him in, he swore that he was being framed. He was awfully persuasive. I’ve gotta admit, I had my doubts too. I mean, something about this has never added up.

There is so much evidence against him. If Rio didn’t kill Abigail, then who? Well, he’s convinced that it’s Craig Wesley.

Go ahead, Craig. There must be a part of you that is dying to admit what you did to rub it in my face. Prove how smart you are. Don’t you want me to know it? To beg you for forgiveness?

Feel. Youre of desperation. What? Do you really expect anybody to believe this? This crazy theory of yours? Yes. As a matter of fact, I do, because we both know it’s true and I’m gonna prove it.

Craig does have a temper, but I’m not worried about him getting mad. Then what’s the problem? Well, when we get married, I want it to be the perfect time for us, not because I wanna hurt my ex. I mean, don’t you think there’s enough nastiness in the world right now without our adding to it?

Yeah. You are a Marvel, Nancy. How about this? We get married today, just you and me. We don’t tell anybody and it will only be because I can’t wait to make you my wife. It won’t be about sticking it to Craig or anyone else. It has everything to do with me wanting to share my life with you. Best person I know.

Okay. Really, really , you’re the best thing ever. Oh, maybe,

but I, I really wanna have Chloe there. Oh, um, okay. And she’s gonna wanna have Brady there. Yeah. And I’m sorry, but Craig should really be there. What you just said that I, I want Craig there, not because I wanna rub his nose in it, but for the same reason he wanted me at his wedding to Leo. We shared two beautiful daughters together and a lot of wonderful memories we’re family and we always will be.

So even after all the pain he comes, you and all the lies he told, Craig has made some mistakes in his life, but deep down he is a good man. You left Nancy. You gave up your whole life to be with me, and then on the day of our wedding, you found out I was lying. You were, as you said, hurt, humiliated, mortified.

You had given yourself to me, mind, body, and soul, and when you found out the truth, something inside you broke you, snapp. That’s why you killed Abigail.

I was not plotting against you. Then why did you buy the company? I bought it because you almost blew it. Excuse me. Uncle Victor said, You’re not a killer, Sonny, and you’re. But that’s okay because I’m here and I’m here to help you. That’s what I was trying to do to make sure that you didn’t miss out on an opportunity.

The only opportunity you saw was making yourself look good at my expense. Are you serious right now? You think that’s what this is about me trying to show you up? No. No. I think the Leo Stark isn’t the only person who stabbed me in the back. You’re crossing a line, brother. You know what, brother? You take your jelly beans and your horse and your balloons and get outta my room.

Get outta my room. Alex.

Guys, can we talk about this? Alex?

You know, I can’t wait to make you memorize, but I do wish that Ben and Sierra and the baby were here with us. Joy too. But we’ll celebrate with him another. Today is just for us. You have no idea how happy that makes me. Now all we have to do going down a city hall, make it official. Oh, you know, Brady.

Brady could be your best man. And Chloe could be my maid of honor. Sure. And Craig could be the witness. Hell, he could walk you down the aisle if you want. . Oh, unless you think that’s a little bit much. Oh, Craig giving me. Oh, I wonder if he’ll do it. I kinda like the symbolism. I’ll give him a call. ACEs.

Meanwhile, I’ll go get the stupid drug test taken care of. Now I don’t want to do anything wrong. I don’t wanna spoil a chance too. Have him hold you. Nancy Miller Seal, Death dues part. Maybe the vanilla was Craig’s cologne or, or, or aftershave. So you want me to lock up someone else based on hunches and smells?

Look, I, I, I just want the right person behind bars for murdering my wife. I, I would love to accept that it was Leo. Okay. Cuz maybe I could finally start to get a little bit of closure. Chad, I want that for you too. Then start asking the question. Leo has a ton of enemies. I mean, he, he ruined Craig’s life in a very public manner.

Okay. All right, so, So what’s the motive? Vengeance. He killed Abigail so that Leah would be locked up for murder. . It’s not that crazy of a theory.

Okay, Chad, I, I’ll look into it. Okay. Thank you. Okay. Thank you. It’s all I ask. Okay. Thank you.

For what you did to me and to so many other people. I don’t. There is one person on this birth that would miss you, the Diana self. Wow. I did not stab anybody. No one. And if someone is framing you, it is not.

You are a scary, sadistic maniac Look in your eyes. It’s a, it’s the look of a stone cold killer . What you, if someone had asked me a few months ago, uh, if I thought you could kill anybody or stab anybody, I was sitting crazy, but I didn’t know you. The truth is I don’t know you. I just thank God you are out of my life forever.

You’re an excellent liar, Craig Wesley, Even better than me. Excuse me. You lied to your wife and to yourself for your whole life, but I am on to you. You think you can frame me for murder and get away with it? I am going to prove that I am innocent and you are guilty. And when I’m through with you, you are going to be so sorry.

You ever laid those beauty lies on Leo Stark. I already am. Sorry.

I have known Craig a long time. He’s totally an. But a murderer, why would he kill Abigail? Well, Leo’s Siri is that Craig was furious when he found out he was duped. He’d given up everything for Leo and um, he was humiliated for it. So he sort of went off the rails and was willing to kill for revenge. Well, that was the case that Abigail was.

Collateral damage.

I know how much I hurt Abigail.

I’m very sorry. That I was unable to make amends for what I did to her, and I hope that whoever it was that killed my sister pace for it dearly. I mean that from the bottom of my heart. I hope that you can find comfort from it. Thank you. Thank you for coming and uh, I, I’ll walk up with you. There. You’re going.

If you’re going somewhere. Yeah, I’m, I’m gonna go by the paper, see how the free story’s going, and I’ll be back as soon as I can. Oh,

take care, Jennifer.

Sorry.

Just taking the last of these antibiotics. Sinus infection.

I know what those are. Jennifer, you know, it’s not too long ago, I was a delivery girl for a doctor selling opiates. That’s not what these are.

You know, growing up my mom used to hide those little bottles behind picture frames too. First looking at you, I thought it was just grief, but then looking into your eyes, I could see that it was more than that. You have no idea what I’m falling through. No, I don’t. And I’m not judging you, but you are in pain and I know that you want to find something to.

Jennifer, you are an addict. You’ve been in recovery for a while now. That has none of your business. No, I know it’s not, but if you remember, I did do quite a bit of research on your family before I came to Salem looking for dirt that I could use to hurt your,

But now I want to help you. Yeah, you wanna help me? Help me. How? I’m gonna go catch Jack. Don’t you even think about it.

I am so sorry, Sunny. I didn’t mean to cause trouble between you two.

It’s okay. Didn’t know. I thought you knew about the deal, Alex. I didn’t.

I do know.

I also know I can’t trust my brother and I

talk about looking at gift horse in.

Hey, what my career going son? Not your son.

Hi, Craig. It, it’s n um, I’d really like you to be at my wedding. It, it would mean the world to me. Okay. Would you give me a call as soon as you get this? Thank you. Bye. Oh, Chad, I haven’t seen you since. I’m so sorry about Abigail. Thank you. So, you know, I ran into your ex yesterday. Oh, he’s in town because of Leo.

What did he say? Just had some kind of weird spot avenue. You know, I couldn’t help but notice his cologne. His cologne. Oh, maybe after shave. Has he always worn something that that smells like vanilla.

Hello, Greg Commiss. Hey, uh, you by any chance, have a few minutes to talk how well you were engaged to start. So, uh, I figure, you know, I’m better than most people. Uh, I can’t imagine what that would tell you, but Sure. Uh, yeah, happy to. Great. You know, um, when we head in there, yeah, have two.

Sonny’s trying to get discharged so he can take his job back. May I tell you my side of the story? That depends. Is your side also feature you screwing over your brother? You mean hogging all the best flavors of jelly beans or, I don’t think he finds any of this funny. See your team. Sunny. I’m Team Titan.

It’s my job to deal with this little mess you’ve made and squash it before it becomes a story. Why don’t you let me help us. Just grab some lunch. We’ll figure it out. I’ll pass.

You just popped me a drink the other day, which was a mistake. I think it’s best if we just stick to business. This is business. And I’ll handle it myself

after everything that you have done to this family. Now you wanna wrap me out to Jack? You need help Jennifer, Jack is your husband. You wanna help me? Why don’t you mind your own damn business? I saw you looking at Abigail’s photo. So she wouldn’t want this for you if she were here. She is not here, is she?

And don’t you dare ever compare yourself to my darling beautiful angel because you have been nothing but a virus in this family. That’s why I’m trying to make things better. I owe it to Jack. Tell him, Oh no. Oh no you don’t. You owe me. How do you figure the only reason you have any relationship with Jack at all is because I allow it.

If you had to choose between the two of us, you might dear would lose every time. So if you even think about going to Jack and telling him what you would imagine that you saw here, I will make sure that you’d never see your father again.

Now, get the hell outta my.

That’s odd. What. Well, all the time that Craig and I were married, he, he never wore after shave or cologne. Maybe he started wearing it after the, the two of you split up something that smells like vanilla. Oh, that would be a coincidence. Why do you, why do you say that? Because that’s what my fiance wears.

Clyde, we mm-hmm. , you know, at first I kind of thought it was feminine because it’s so sweet, but. Now I kind of like it.

What? Nothing. I just thought that I smell.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Finally, I was waiting for someone from the Justice League of Salem to show up. Guess Cyclops drew the short straw.

I’m gonna give you one chance to do what? Tell me what you did to Kayla, Kate and Marla.

No, I’m sorry. I, I I can’t make it for lunch. I just, I, I’ve just swamped at work. No, your dad’s just, he’s just as busy as I am. No, no, no, no. It’s just my allergies. My allergies are acting. Listen, I, I love you and I will call you later. Alright. Okay. Okay. Bye-Bye. Oh gosh, Stephanie. Yeah. Uh, Steve and I decide there was no point in scar.

Her, John and I made the same decision not to tell the children. Yeah, I just feel.

It is really long. It just isn’t full of closure. Oh my gosh. Aren’t we a parent? Well, I’m just afraid to prescribe anything because I don’t know what we’re dealing with. Uh, did John go home and try to get some sleep? Uh, no. No. John said he had, I think he had to, to get done.

Mr. Black, we heard from your son’s sponsor, Maggie Horton Carus about his commitment to his sobriety. Can you tell us what kind of man he is, what kind of father he is?

Mr. Black. You three will stand helplessly by and watch the women you love leave you.

And then you’ll finally know what I felt when you took my Rebecca, Mr. Black. Did you hear the question?

Okay.

I’m sorry. Did you,

What are you doing? What do you think I’m doing? I’m getting dressed to get the hell out of here.

Job. Hey. Hey Chloe. What’s up? Is everything alright? No, everything is not alright. What’s wrong? It’s about Philip.

Like Sands through the hour, so are the days of our lives.

Phillip, like, have you, have you heard from him? No, I haven’t heard from him. No one’s heard from him in almost a year. No one knows what happened to. And Kristen, she’s using that, how she’s dredging up the fact that you guys investigated Brady, making it seem like he killed Philip only to get custody of Rachel.

Yeah, well, imagine that Kristen coming up with something vicious, vile and, and disgusting just to get her way. Yeah, I just, I just, I hate her that she’s floating that out there, that Brady might have killed Philip. Like she really cares about Rachel. She’s using the Worried Mother Act because she knows that we can’t argue back.

The only thing Brady can do is deny it, but the more he does, it just starts to sound lame. Sean, if, if Brady loses Rachel? If, If Kristen gets away with this. Okay, Chloe. Okay. Just sit down for a minute. Okay? Yeah,

I just. I, I was hoping that you would go back to the hearing with me and tell the judge that Kristen is wrong, that Brady did not kill Philip. Chloe. I can’t do that. Why not? You know, Brady, you know, he would not do this. Do you want Kristen to take his daughter from that? No. I am an officer of the court here.

All right, and, and, and Phillip’s disappearance. It’s been classified as a cold case, so I’d have to testify to that.

Well, then she wins that bitch wins again.

Used black. Do you need a moment?

Uh, No, No. Uh, no. I’m sorry, Your Honor. Um,

I get a little emotional when I hear so in questioning what type of father breed he is, could you elaborate on that? I can, uh, I can give you an example. Yeah. When Chris and Damira was, um, Was in prison or kidnapping, or was it attempted murder? Mr. Black, Be careful, I’m sorry. Anyways, when she was away doing time in prison and so many people were appalled at all of the things that she had done, I, I’m, what I’m meant to say was all of the.

Things that she allegedly had done, All Brady did was take care of Rachel personally. He, he never said a bad word against her mother. He always tried to shield her from what other people were saying, but most importantly, he was desperate. But little Rachel never found out that her mommy. Stabbed her great granddad Vic, right in the chest.

Sister black. I’m sorry, sorry, sorry. It’s just with all that going on, Brady made sure that, that Rachel got to see her mommy as often as possible. He always put Rachel’s feelings first. It isn’t that what good parents really do anyway.

Thank you Ms. Damara. Do you have any questions for Mr. Black? Actually, I have one for the court.

Mr. Black is here to testify to Brady’s character, right? Yes. And that’s appropriate. But is he a good judge of character? His wife went on a three month crime spree and he didn’t even seem to notice. So isn’t it possible that he only sees what he wants to see and turns a blind eye to the rest?

Case you can’t leave. We don’t even know what’s wrong with you. Okay, so is knowing going to make a difference? Yes. Dam it. The ISA medical. Lab is working 24 7. When they identify what Orpheus infected you with, okay, Then they can call me and I’ll come back. But until then, I wanna be at home, hopefully with you.

How are the girls this morning? Little green around the gills.

I’m not here to play games. So get straight to the point.

Okay. Think you’re making a big mistake. Well, I don’t, Yeah, of course you never do. You have no idea what’s wrong with you. You have no idea what’s coming. You’re right. I don’t, and it really galls me just to be sitting around in this God forsaken room waiting because, because it seems like I’m already dead.

God rabbit, I, I don’t want sympathy. I just don’t I, Or sentiment. It’s not sentiment. It’s love. I know it is. I’m sorry, I, I’m doing this the way I always do it, which is impulsively and I, I should have told you or tried to explain it to you and it’s just not fair. I know, Kate. I don’t care about what’s fair.

I just want you someplace where you get help. I’m not me here. Okay. And if I have a short. I don’t wanna spend it like this and asking you to understand Roman, but I’m leaving with you too.

This is funny to you. Yeah, Yeah. It amuses me that only you would be dumb. Sorry, literal enough to actually believe that the pen is mightier than sword . Oh, but it now, I couldn’t get a sword past those cops out there. No one questions a pen, even though if I jam this into your carotid artery. An air bubble.

Your brain killing you. And what’s, if you don’t tell what you did to Kayla?

Michael, you’re doing just great. Yeah, I, You’re doing everything you need to do right now. It’s a process, you know, overcoming a agoraphobia is a process and, and you, you have to take it one step at a time. And that, that, that cliche really is true. The first step is the hardest. Sorry. And you’ve taken that already.

Yeah. I’m very proud of you and, Okay. Call me anytime you need. Bye. You know, you really shouldn’t be working.

Said the pot to the kettle. Your immune system took a bigger hit than mine. Yeah. Did. I’m just, I, I’m, I’m just trying to get myself distracted from what’s going on. The custody hearing. Yeah. I know it’s bad name, but I don’t know what judge in the world would a grant custody of a child to Kristen Damara.

Fuck, Your Honor. The witness’s wife is not on trial, but his judgment is his wife stopped and threatened to kill two prominent citizens. Doug and Julie Williams. That is not relevant. It’s relevant that at the time he didn’t even seem to notice, and even when that what she did is a matter of public records.

He’s still married to her. Apparently he’s pretty easygoing when it comes to right and wrong. She assaulted her own son-in-law, locked my brother’s mother in the Crip. She locked you up in the Crip, John. But hey, to air is human right. I hope you choke on your hypocrisy. Be careful. Mr. Black, you said that your son is a good father.

We both know that he is, but what kind of standards are you applying? I mean, you are married to a woman who threatened to murder Sierra Weston’s relatives with torches. If they, if they tried to prevent, said woman from kidnapping her. I mean, John, you don’t set the bar very high, do you? Your Honor, my mother was not in her right mind when these alleged acts took place.

Oh, right. The devil made her do it again. Oh, and were you possessed by the devil as Wellness Grady? Objection. The devil framed me. Said, Are you, Are you listening to this, Your Honor? I mean, these people are the ones that I’m going to trust with my daughter this Damir. You are skating on extremely thin ice.

Move on or sit down. Okay, sorry. I apologize, Your Honor. Just one more question. John, can you tell the court where Dr. Evans is today? I mean, why isn’t she here supporting her stepson, who she claims she loves like her own child? Because at this moment she could be dying. You miserable bitch.

I know you’re mad at me. No, I’m not. Liar. Okay. I am mad. I think what you’re doing is stupid, willful, and totally irrational, but then, Also sit here and, uh, say, I have no right to be mad. I didn’t fall in love with you because you were rational. I don’t care why you did. I just care that you did. Hey, good morning.

I’m, I’m sorry. I don’t mean to interrupt. No, that’s okay. Um, nice to see you. It is, What’s wrong with. Uh, look, if you came by to ask about Clyde and your mom, we’re, we’re not thrilled about it either. But there’s nothing we can do. No, this isn’t about Clyde. Actually, Kate, I was hoping for your help, I mean for Brady.

What kind of help? Please testify at Rachel’s custody. Tell the judge that you don’t think that Brady killed Philip.

If Philip’s alive, I’ll deliver him to you personally.

That’s news. Anybody from Fire Phillips, Steve?

Steve’s not going to find film. You don’t know that for sure. I do know

I’m calling a recess. I think we could all use a break. Court will reconvene in one hour. Dad, what’s going on with mom? I’m sorry. She’s really sick. She said, What? What’s, We don’t know. It’s all about Orpheus. He didn’t just kid, never her and Kayla and Kate. He infected them with some kind of a biotoxin.

What? Oh my God. And why don’t, why don’t you tell us? She wouldn’t let me. She didn’t want you two to be distracted and worried about her when you had this going on that that’s just like my heart. I have to see her. I’m on my way. Come on, let’s go. I’m coming.

Brady, please wait.

Go ahead. I’ll, I’ll be there as soon as I can. Oh, Brady, don’t let her go to your, into punching her in the face.

What is it you want?

I think you really need to try and get some sleep. Can’t I can’t sleep. Not until I have some idea of what’s going on with a custody hearing. Well, I think John’s testimony is really gonna help. I’m worried. I’m worried about John. He was trying to sleep in the chair, but could hear him having nightmares all night.

I imagine Steve is going through the same thing. Same thing. He’s gone to see Orpheus. Well that won’t help. Yeah, we’ll try telling Steve to wait and be patient for America The same man. Men of action. I’m just so scared. God knows what he’s gonna do.

How much you heard? Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent. See, what the hell are you doing?

Oh God, no. Impeccable timing. Constable. This man’s trying to kill back away. Steve, you back. Away it out. No, stand it out. You think you’re gonna help anything ending up in a jail cell? No. My hero. Look at me. Look at me. Just go, Wait, what if I want press charges? I mean it. I mean, go kiss sweetness for me. No, no, no, no.

Get on.

Be, Oh, you told her dad, you’d, um, just kind of slipped out. Dad said, You don’t even know what it is. Um, we’re working on it. I’m gonna go check with the ISA lab. Okay? Thanks.

I can’t lose you, honey. I’m not going anywhere.

I just wanna say I’m sorry about your mom. I love it. Try to see him human. I didn’t know, I didn’t know she was ill braid. If I had, I would never have pushed jump like that. If, if you had, you would’ve thrown it in his face. Okay? Just drop the high moral tone. You have your whole family lined up behind you to keep me from Rachel.

You can’t expect me to not fight for her. You can drop the hole. I’m fighting for my daughter routine because it is a load of crap. This is not about Rachel. This is about you and your sick compulsion to win every single hill for you. Every little mole hill is a hill to die on. You are your father all over.

Yes, I am. So think about it pretty, If I die for a mole hill, imagine what I would do to keep my own daughter. Mm-hmm. , if you hear it, my own daughter, This is not about a little girl for you, Christ. It’s about ownership. You know, there was a point, a very low point, mind you, where I thought I could, I can do this, I can share custody with Kristen.

But after seeing the way you behaved in this c. I will do anything to keep Rachel safe from you. Anything.

The idea that Brady killed Philip, thanks to Kristen. Now it’s. Black cloud looming over the courtroom. I mean, I thought I’d seen Kristen at her worst, but now she’s just being feral. And do you think that, uh, Kate could help? Well, yeah. When, when Brady denies everything, Kristen just has this way of looking at the judge, like, what else is he gonna say?

But you, Kate, you or Phillip’s mother, the judge would believe you. We don’t know. That’s true. Look, I know that I’m asking a lot of you, and I know that it’s, it’s very painful for you to talk about Philip. Okay. Um. I’ll think about it All right.

Right. Okay. Well, don’t put yourself out there anything. It’s just the life of a little child. Okay. Sorry. Didn’t mean to interrupt your breakfast.

Oh, come on. Don’t look at me like that. I, I sent it. I’ll, I’ll think about it.

Um, when you finish, Breakfast promised me or go upstairs and, uh, get some rest. Where are you going? What do you think to tell the judge that Phillip is alive?

You wanna tell me what that was about? I was gonna kill. Would you stop me? Oh, that’s a great idea. You’re gonna kill a man who’s handcuffed to a chair in a police station, but smart that you shouldn’t have stopped me. He’s in police custody. He can’t hurt anyone anymore. You know what? That’s just not true.

How do you.

I’m just a little tired. That’s all. That’s all. I, I didn’t, uh, want you to know about this. We had to,

All right. Well, I, I’m gonna be just fine. I’m getting all the kind of help that I need and, and, you know, trying to see her all the times. So what I need you, what I need you to, Is go back to the hearing and fight like hell for Rachel. You better do what she says cuz she never swears

Well, I I love you. Oh, I love you. Yeah. It’s the courthouse. Recess is almost over. I will be back as soon as I can’t. Yes, yes, yes. Final art. Let’s do this. Okay. Okay. Give him hell, kid my best.

Those kids,

we did good. Yes, I did.

Roman, please don’t do this. Don’t do this to me. If you tell that judge that Phillip is still alive, the FBI is gonna track him down and they’re gonna put him in prison when all he needs is help, he’s getting better, but he, This is. He couldn’t deal with this. He could send him right back over the edge and then I will lose him.

Okay. I can’t stand by feeling like Christian, take Rachel away from Brady. That would be wrong on every single level. Okay. Okay, so I will go to the judge and I will tell him that I, I don’t think that Brady killed Philip and risk Christian getting Rachel. Think about that, Kate. Think about what that little girl’s life would be like.

And if you do this to help Brady, he’ll know what it cost you. And I think that he will ask for leniency fulfilled. Oh gosh, we don’t know that. Yeah. But what we do know is, Brady didn’t deserve what Philip did to him, and he sure as hell doesn’t deserve to lose his daughter because of it. Oh, that’s not fair.

No, no, no, it’s not. Because Philip is my son, Roman. Yeah, and you are in a horrible position. I know that Kate. I got kids. Hell, I got Sammy. I understand that. So you know what, Kate, it’s your. All right. Think about it. I won’t say anything about Philip unless you tell me to so I repeat. Think about it. You are told to stay away from these proceedings.

I just need word with Brady. Well, he’s not here. Do you know where he went? If you wanted you to know, he would’ve told you. Don’t you think he’s got enough on his mind that he doesn’t need you stalking him? I don’t think someone who broke outta prison put in fake teeth and wore a house. Coach impersonate Susan Banks should be talking about stalking.

Well, a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do. Oh, you mean like manipulate your just back from the dead brother to try to woo me away from Brady? Don’t know what you’re talking about. Oh, like hell, you don’t. But guess what? Sister has a broke and bizarre as that was Brady. And I saw right through your plan.

Oh, and I was so wanted you to be my sister-in-law. Hmm. Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to go over my closing argument. Have fun. Clarence Darrow.

Judge, Uh, your Honor, um, I’m sorry, can I, can I speak to you for a second?

Well, you really called her that in court. Yeah, I called her a m bitch doc. She kept pushing my buttons until I just lost it. I just, I might have blow that case for Brady. I’m sure Judge saw through what Kristen was doing.

You know how I feel about Kristin. Having said that, I know how much she loves that little girl. Like I can’t imagine that she would put her own needs before that child’s.

It’s okay. That’s okay. Coqui. No, no, no, no. Kayla is trying to get sort of the ISA lab and see if she can get our testified. I hope the hell they can finally figure out what this is.

Hey, hey, listen. You need to go lie down. No, no. I’m, I’m fine. It passed. How did it go with, or, I got nothing. Sorry. Well, I didn’t have high hopes, but please tell me that he’s still among the living. Did Sean call you? No, but I didn’t think that you were gonna go over there and politely ask for his assistance.

What did you do? I just tried to persuade him to tell me what he’d done to you and when he. Sorry. Oh, it’s the ISA lab. Uh, Dr. Johnson

Family Court is back in session. Ms. Brady, do you have any more witnesses? Uh, no, Your Honor.

That all listen to your closing argument. In conclusion, I maintain that it’s in the child’s best interest that Rachel Black remain in the custody of her father, who has provided a loving, stable, saying environment no matter what kind of chaos her mother has created. Thank you, your Honor.

We will now hear Ms. Dara’s closing statement,

Your Honor, it would be dangerously wrong to leave my daughter in the custody of a man who was so obsessed with Ms. Lane, a baby thief, that he would kill his own uncle to be with her.

Your Honor, I am, uh, Roman Brady, retired commiss of the Salem Police Department, and I have something to say that I am sure will be relevant to this case.

Hey, so good to hear your. I, You sound so much better. Oh, that’s great. Philip me. Um, No, no, no. I’m fine. Sure, sure, sure. Go to your therapy. I was just calling to to tell you that I love you. Right.

Your on I protest. Roman Brady cannot just barge in giving one sided statements on Brady’s behalf. Both sides have already rested their. Why are you so sure the commissioner’s statement would be in favor of Mr. Black because he hates me. His old family does. Your Honor, I would like to hear what Mr. Brady has to say.

I’m sure you would, but that’s not going to happen. Your Honor, Please. You’re too late, Mr. Brady. I’ve already made my decision.

Gimme a call when you get this. Okay. I’m glad you’re back. I might need some medical attention. Oh, you’re gonna be fine. Unfortunately. Oh, that seems to me you’re letting your personal feelings take precedence over your professional responsibilities. Like father, like son, you were terrorizing three innocent women, one of which is my aunt.

So if I were to go with my personal feelings right now, I would pound the crap outta you. I’m terrorizing three innocent women to punish their guilty as health, significant others. They will watch the women they love die. And then, and I’ll finally be Aven.

I just got off the phone with the ISA lab. They’re having a hard time. Hard time with what? Hard time. Figuring out Kayla. Figuring out what’s wrong with Kayla. You really need to, No, no, no. They need time. Whoa, whoa.

So what happened? Did you tell them about.

Turns out I didn’t have.

The judge had already decided to rule in Brady’s favor. Oh, did that just happen? It really did. This is an outrage. Rachel belongs with me. Well, the court doesn’t think so. And let me put you on notice, Kristen, any interference or or harassment on your part, and you will end up back in court a criminal court.

I have full custody. Oh, thank God. Thank God you did this. Didn’t you swear I saw you skulking around earlier, Kristen, you did this. You showed that judge exactly who you were, and I think it was a big mistake. What exactly did you do?

Your Honor, could I please talk to you? I’m sorry, Ms. Lane, but I can’t talk to you about the case outside court. I know that, and you don’t have to say anything, but please if you would just watch this. What is this? It’s video footage of Kristin Damara attacking me in my own. And I know you can’t use any of her past crimes for your decision because of her.

Pardon? But this happened after she was released from Statesville. This should have been entered into evidence. I couldn’t give it to Brady’s attorney because if Kristen found out that I gave you that footage, she would try even harder to make our lives miserable and turned Rachel against me. Now, please.

Your Honor, all I’m asking is that you watch it and make your own decision. Should a woman like that be responsible for raising an innocent.

I guess the judge put Rachel’s welfare first.

Believe me, this isn’t over.

I feel like I can breathe again. Oh God, Rachel’s gonna be okay. And. I think we’re all.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Wow. Nice home cooked meal. Starting to feel like myself again. I’m so glad to hear that. Brother, shall I top you off, please? Mm-hmm.

So now that we’re better to than adequately fed, I hope you don’t mind if I circle back to our previous convers. Uh, about the Mayor Enterprises. Mm-hmm. , as you know, Chad and I lost control of the company earlier this year, but I’m hoping that you and I can take it back. So Xander doesn’t think that Leo is capable of murder.

That’s his gut instinct. The guy’s weasel not a killer. What’s Sunny’s take is sunny, you know, felt that, uh, Leo was sincere in his, in his apology, the night that he was attacked and thinks that there, Leo’s had plenty of opportunities to finish him off and hasn’t, He didn’t do it while somebody behind the scenes is certainly making look like he did.

Leo is trying to convince Eddie that he was being set up. Do you buy that? Do you think Leo’s innocent?

Honestly, I don’t know. I don’t know what to believe anymore. You figured it out. You know who set you up. Yes. It all makes sense. Now, the guy has every reason to hate me after what I did to him. Guy, my ex. You said he couldn’t be Darius? No, no. My other ex, Dr. Craig Wesley Gwe. There is no doubt in my mind.

Spiteful Cico couldn’t wait to commit those horrible crimes and then frame me for them that he is the real killer. Hello, Nancy. I didn’t know you were in town. It was the last minute decision. Oh, well what are you doing here? I came back because of Leo. Oh, I suppose you heard that he attacked son CCUs.

Yeah. Not to mention he has supposedly done to Abigail. It was terrible. I mean, just terrible. Especially

like sand through the hour glass. So are the days of our lives.

You think Craig is the one framing you? He’s a respected doctor. Don’t you get it? When he, he upended his entire life to be with me. He came out of the closet. He left his wife, he ripped apart his family, and then he left you at the altar. Well, because he thought I had deceived him, which you had. He loved you and you just went after his money at first.

But along the way, I fell in love with him. Mm. I did. But the damage had already been done, broke Craig’s heart into a million pieces, and now he’s getting his revenge. The Foot Hill killed Abigail and stabbed Sunny. How is this your fault? Because Leo came here to see me. That’s the only reason. But Craig, you didn’t know he was dangerous.

Chloe did. Uh, Brady did. I just, honey, I wish we would’ve listened to them sooner. Son and Abigail would’ve never gotten involved. But you didn’t know he was a monster. I, she’s right, man. I mean, you just couldn’t have known that dumping him at the altar. Send him off on a murders red page. Could you,

Have we met? Oh, I, I’m so sorry, Craig. This is Clyde Weston. My fiance.

Okay, so let me, lemme just, uh, like, I’m trying to get this straight. So even though Stephan doesn’t have a heart, somehow Dr. Wolf was able to keep him alive all these years and now that he has a transplant, Walking around completely fine. Okay. I don’t even know how to process this. Welcome to my world.

Okay. And he said that he didn’t wanna be with you though? Yeah. Oh, did he say why? Yeah, he said he doesn’t love me, That he can’t stand aside of me. Okay, look, if you gotta think about this, right? I mean, the guy says, I mean, the guys he’s been dead for for years, basically, right? So who knows what’s going on inside his head.

Yeah, I know. That’s why I want to track him down because I have a lot of questions for him. I just don’t know where he is. You know, remember the first time we met? I would hardly call that a meeting. . Sammy had just dragged you outta that fire. You were in the hospital, you looked like a mummy. Mm. All bandaged up.

Nowhere to go. You were barely alive. . When I fully recovered. Samantha said she owed you a large sum of money. She did. She also did her best to get out of it. Hmm? You got off the hook. Why? Well, I could tell that she needed the money to get you the best possible medical care and look at you. Well, obviously it worked.

Yes. Well, yeah. I’ve always wanted to thank you for that. Now we’re family, right? Take care of one another. I couldn’t agree more. You and I may not have grown up together, but it’s clear we’re cut from the same cloth. Mm-hmm. , Ishmm, . Together we can accomplish great things at. First on the agenda, destroying Hernandez.

It’s interesting what is, when I first flow to the idea of us working together against Gabby, You got quiet. And then you started pacing like you are now just thinking,

Wow, it shouldn’t be that hard to gimme an answer. I was under the impression you were no longer in love with your wife. Not quite frankly, it baffles me than I ever was. And why do you seem so hesitant about bringing her down? This is your chance to take back what’s rightfully yours as she is in the way.

Maybe I just want to hear your whole plan first. You know, I’m always hesitant to rush into a decision without all the facts. Well, it’s not that complicated, really. Gabby’s been able to hold onto the position of CEO by the ED margins. She inherited her shares after your death. Now that I’m alive, I should be able to take them back, which could maybe give us love votes to Alster, but you would have to be willing to take her down.

Are you, Apparently Stephan spent last night at Amara Enterprises doing. All I know is that Lee found him in my office, camped out this morning. Oh, so was he looking for you? I don’t know. He took off and he disappeared. Can you please put out an A p B? Well, it doesn’t sound like he’s missing and he hasn’t committed any crimes as far as I can tell.

So I know. I know. It’s worth a try. Yeah. I have to ask, um, how does your boyfriend feel about all this? Well, um, he’s not my boyfriend anymore. Oh, he broke up? No, actually, we, um, we’re engaged. He’s my fiance.

Yeah, you’re engaged. Mm-hmm. Pride. Pop the question just before you walked in. You’re the first to know. Oh, wow. Thank you. Thank you. I mean, Chloe said that you were in follow up with somebody seeing someone I just didn’t know. I was so serious. Oh, what can I say? Swept me off my feet. Yeah, I bet he did. Why don’t we celebrate it with a drink, Huh?

Drinks might have kind you. Hm. Scotching the rocks for me and the, the little lady will have a chardonnay please.

Right. Okay. Look, um, I, I understand that Craig might still be very angry about the way things went down between the two of you, but do you really think that he would murder Abigail just to set you up? That is quite extreme. Hell have no fury like a gay man’s corn. Yeah. Okay. I just don’t think that he’s capable of doing something that cold blooded.

That’s because you and I have only seen the softer side of Craig, but from what I heard, he used to be a petty scheming bitch. That right? Oh yeah. He and his ex caused all sorts of trouble in this town. Oh. Has he ever tried to kill someone before? Not that I’m aware of. But losing someone you love, especially someone as special asoa, can drive you to do crazy things.

Mm, yes. I can certainly relate to that. And unlike Darius, Craig is not squeamish about getting blood on his hands. It’s basically his job. Uh, no, it’s not his job to stab innocent women. Okay. He saves people. Oh, please. Just because you have a medical license doesn’t mean you’re not psycho. Didn’t you tell me there was a doctor who once forced you into being a drug mule?

Good point, huh? I may have accused the wrong Wesley at first, but now I’m positive. I’m right. Craig has gone off the deep end and he’s trying to drag me down with him.

What are you working on? Oh, just um, looking at some recent feature pitches. You were looking at all family photos.

Yeah. Looks like I got here just in time. Oh, what you got there? Ice cream Sunday night. Wait, we already put the kids to bed. Adults only ice cream Sunday night. Oh, well that’s, that’s so thoughtful of you. Um. But I don’t think I’m up for it. Well, Jennifer, you love ice cream. Sunday night’s, one of your favorite family traditions.

It was also avid deals, and I’m not sure that I want to carry on the tradition without her.

Here’s how I. Craig comes back to town. Last student starts watching me. When he sees that I’m camping out in the Demir basement. He realizes that I would be a prime suspect if anything were to happen to Chatter. Abigail, you really think he was planning it that long? Just waiting for the right moment. I guess When he has the chance to take out Abigail, he steps her with the knife that I conveniently left behind.

Ah, So you admit you did have the knife? Of course I have the knife. How else would my fingerprints be on it? Ha Right, carry on. He must have driven Craig mad watching the cops go after every other suspect until they finally landed on little old me and then they let you go. So he had to find a way to implicate me again.

So he comes back to town, stab son and leaves behind not only the original murder weapon with your prints on it, but also my revenge list. How did you get the list? I don’t. He must have stolen it from my bag. Yeah. Okay. I think you’ve got a little tiny hole in your theory there, Perro, and what’s that? How did Craig even know the list existed?

Chloe told me about Leo’s hit list. I know she and Brady had to on it. Well, the police have provided security to her and Brady. I’m very glad about that.

Oddly enough, Leo hasn’t signaled that he’s after them, which is strange because they’re the ones that rallied the troops, uh, against him. Why would he spare them? I think you might have me thank for that.

Maybe you’re. Maybe Craig is the killer. It has to be him. I mean, the setup feels personal, and yes, there are plenty of people who hate me, but I can’t think of anyone who hates me this much in that case. Whoa, whoa. What? What are you doing? What do you think? I’m gonna phone the police.

When did you get engaged? Yesterday? But the news kind of got overshadowed by Stephan’s return. Yeah, well, he always did have a knack for timing. Tell me about it.

I mean, you, you only, you haven’t been dating that long. Doesn’t this seem like it’s moving kind of fast? You one to talk what you dated Nicole a couple months before you proposed if you have a, We’ve been friends for a very long time. I’ve known Lee for years. Okay. It’s a little different Look. Point is.

When it feels right, it feels right. Yes. I guess you’re right. How’s I feel now? Like, you mean now that my husband has returned from the dead? Uh, yeah. I can’t believe that I am hearing this, but yes, I obviously, Stephan being back changes the. Of course. I mean, well for starters, I mean, we’re so married. Okay?

Right, right. So, So the question really is, do you want stay married to Stephan or do you want marry Lee?

You said maybe we’d have enough votes to ask Gabby if I got my shares back, but you’re not. at the moment. The other side potentially has six votes, which would bring you to another tie. Hmm. So we have to either convince someone to change their vote or continue working on having a vitality’s vote disqualified.

Hmm. How’s that going? Not as well as I’d hoped she was deemed unstable because she claimed she was seeing her dead husband who ended up being me, which means she wasn’t hallucinating after all. Right

Chad, So before you start, I’m not gonna stay along. All right. I’m just here to find,

Hey Chad. Good view with Chad. My brother Stephan is alive one time now. She.

To be honest, Ra, I, I don’t know. I don’t know what I’m on, but you said it, you’re right. I, I haven’t known Lee for that long. But you love I do. And he really loves me. You know, if Stephen hadn’t come back, I, I wouldn’t have any doubts about marrying Lee. Surprised you, you say that. Why? Well, because last time we talked you said that you didn’t think you could ever love someone the way he love Ste.

That’s true. I mean, I do think of s Stephan as the love of my life, and maybe that’s because I, I lost him so early on in our marriage. But when Lee proposed I was ready to move on, I was even. Stop wearing our sweating band around my neck. I was really ready to put stuff in behind me. Easier to do when he’s dead.

Exactly. How can I do that when he’s right here? Even if he says he doesn’t love me, but do I just give up? I can’t just give up. Right. It doesn’t sound to me like Stephan’s leaving too much of your choice. Ralph had you on ice. He never said a word. I guess he figured there wasn’t any point. He couldn’t wake me up until he found a heart.

Why? You did just fine without one before. Clever. Look, Chad, I know you and I have had our differences. So differences. Do I have to remind you what you did to my wife? I’m hoping that this could be a new beginning for us. No thank you. All right. Look, I don’t expect you and Abigail to welcome me back with open arms.

She’s dead.

What? It’s true. Abigail’s dead.

What happened? She was murder.

I appreciate you trying to lift my spirits. I do. And I want to enjoy doing things like this with you, but when it’s something that I remember, Doing so well with her, Abigail. I get it. Believe me, I get it. It’s supposed to get easier with time. I know. But for me, every day that goes by, I, I just miss her more, not less.

Me too.

I, I’ll tell you what,

at the next time we have ice cream Sunday night, we recruit Thomas and Charlotte and we share with them all the wonderful fun memories that we have of our mom when she was a little girl. What do you think? Would that make it easier for you? Yeah. Yeah, it would. Yeah. Cause that, that would be good for the kids, you know, for us to share our memories of her, with them and them to share some of their memories with us.

Right? I mean, we should encourage you. We should. We should. That’s what advocate would want, but then that’s what we’ll do. Okay. But in the meantime, since you went to all trouble and. Don’t want that ice cream to melt. We should make those Sundays now. You sure? Yes, I’m sure. Cause I think Abigail would want that.

Yeah. Yeah.

I’m thinking Leo hasn’t gone after Chloe or Brady because he still cares about me. Hate to burst your bowl drag, but that sounds a bit narcissistic to me. I know that Leo is not happy for what happened at the wedding, but if he ever went near my daughter, touched her. Have you seen Chloe since you got back in town?

Mm. I came straight here, I was hungry. I wanna get something need.

Why don’t we all go out and have a bike together? All of us. Um, celebrate your engagement, all of us. Chloe Brady, you, both of you. Uh, my treat. Hmm. So very kind of you. Mm-hmm. . Yeah. Craig, you’re a real standup guy.

Are you nuts? You can’t call the police. Why not? We have to investigate Craig so that they can clear your name. Are you gonna tell ’em that I’m here? Are you gonna turn me in? Why would I do that? Uh, because you’re probably still mad as hell that I lied and told everyone you confessed. Yes. Well, I’m obviously still miffed about that,

but Matt, I understand why you did what you did. You explained that you were backed against a wall. Honey, I had to get away. I am so sorry that I threw you under the bus. All right. Yeah, that’s alright. Enough with the apologies now. Now, the important thing is, is that we prove your innocence. Otherwise, you are going to spend the rest of your life on the run.

Okay? Okay. Let’s bring Dr. Death’s pathetic. Life pathetic because I’m no longer in it and he’s never gonna find anyone else as sexy and adorable as I am. Let’s bring that sadistic, twisted, loves sick man’s life to a screeching halt.

Yeah, hang on. Almost matter, um, you know, if, um, you two don’t mind, Ida really like to share the, the good news with, uh, Chloe by myself. Sure. You go ahead and in the meantime, why don’t the two of you get to know each other? I mean, we. We are going to be family.

She’s the best, isn’t she? Yes she is. Which is why I’m real glad she gave us this little moment together. Oh, I didn’t. Wanna say it earlier when she was there, but, um, Chloe has a little trouble with your past quote about, um, something about you having had a few run-ins with the law. Well, as I told your daughter, I don’t pretend to be a saint, but I paid my debt to society and since I’ve been released from prison, I’ve managed to stay out of trouble, Have.

Yeah, got myself a simple but honest job working at the pub. So I guess saw those drug deals and those, uh, kidnappings and Oh yes. Attempted murder. They don’t mean anything. That’s what I told you, Craig. Do you not believe me? Uh, no. No, I didn’t. As a matter. Had to be rude. Uh, I just don’t think that you are good enough for Nancy.

It’s funny cause you are the one who deceived her your entire marriage and nearly destroyed her when you cheated on her. And you tell. that I’m not good enough. I’m sorry I saw bones, but you’re the last person who has any right to be judgemental about me. No offense, I’ll text Rafe directly. This is too important not to go right to the top.

Well, tell me what you’re writing. I will, uh, this is Swe Mische to commissioner. Hernandez, I have reason to believe that my friend, Mattie, AK Leo start is being framed. I strongly suggest that you launch an investigation into Dr. Craig Wesley. I suspect he is the killer. Feel free to call me if you have any questions.

Send. You think the commissioner will take you seriously. Guess we’ll soon find out.

Sorry. Could be work related. Yeah, no problem. What is it? One wrist check. What, what? Why is that BHA texting you? Uh, it’s about Abigail’s case. What about it? Uh, well I can’t really talk about it, but I do need to look into this. Oh yeah. No, I gotta, I gotta head out to work anyway. Oh, was a little late, isn’t it?

Oh, CEO never sleeps 20 far. Job. Yeah, I hear that. Being commission. Listen, you need anything, no matter what day night, you can just call me. You know that, right? Yeah. Thank you. You too. Come on. I love you. I love you too.

So Abigail was stabbed in this house. Find the killer. Current theory is Leo Stark. Wow. Leo Stark. I remember that guy. Tried to get a job from me. Super shady. Look Chad, I am

so sorry.

This is a terrible tragedy. I was sure it was Leo. I read that son was unable to positively idea him. His attacker never got a good look at him, but he remembers smelling vanilla or whatever that’s worth. Well, I do hope they finally owe or whoever did this and hold them to justice. Yeah, look, I’m, I’m just here to look for Charlotte.

Stuffed animal. You haven’t seen a little elephant around here, have you? I can’t say that I have Chad, so Well. I’m gonna go look up stairs for myself and then have a very large drink. Try to wrap my head around this.

Good to see you, Chad.

So where were we? I believe you were trying to persuade me to get my shares back from Gabby. Hmm. And have I succeeded?

It’s even better than I remembered. Yep. You know, as Abigail used to say, ice cream is the solution to everything.

I’m glad to see that you’re still on the light, on the chocolate sauce. Tons of nuts, Cam. Why I mess with perfection. Oh, well, yes, of course, of course. I, I like to mix it up myself. So, uh, , I don’t mind trying gears for once.

I remember you once told Abigail that a person’s choice in toppings revealed a lot about their character. Well, I still believe that. And for example, your example shows me that, uh, you have a refined personality. Oh, refined but not stuffy. Oh, no, no, no. No one would ever call you stuffy. That would be me, . At least I I was, when you first met me, Except you, my darling girl.

You helped me loosen. And taught me to have fun. Maybe a little too much fun. Well, on occasion, yes. But, but still, still, you saved me. I mean, otherwise, I, I, I thank God every day that you kept me from being an old curmudgeon, yelling at kids to keep off my lawn. I, I would’ve been telling my family to, to adhere this, uh, arbitrary set of rules just to make me happy.

I. I could have been Victor. Oh, . I, I don’t know. I if I can picture that. Well do . I’m serious. You saved me. You really did. You kept me from being continually cranky more that you taught me, that loving someone with all their heart is the best. And most important thing that anyone can do, well, I think you learned that all by yourself.

Mm. I’ll Mur would’ve learned it if not for you the day you came into my life’s the luckiest day of my life.

Mine too.

Stop hogging all the nuts. Oh, thank.

Stephan, for so long I prayed. I wish for you to come back to me. I’m so grateful that you are alive.

But how could you forget the love we shared? How could you forget what we meant to each other?

Stephanie,

you have a minute to talk. Of course.

Is that Uh, yeah. Um, I went back to the crib to retrieve it. I noticed you were still wearing.

Yeah,

just I hadn’t even noticed.

I think that, um, maybe on some level that might mean that you still love me.

You know, Clyde, I don’t regret. Embracing my life for my truth, who I am. But I hurt Nancy very deeply and that I am not proud of. She was a wonderful wife to me, beautiful, wonderful mother to her kids, and I don’t wanna see her get hurt again, which is why I’m gonna protect her at every cost. Well, not that it’s your New year business.

Mm-hmm. . But the last thing that I would ever. Has hurt that woman. She is kind, she is sweet. She makes me very happy, and as her husband, I’m gonna treat her with a kind of love and respect that she deserves. Right. Oh, so I know you were in town. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I just, um, today, just now. You know Clay? Yeah, we go way back.

Glad we ran into you. Yeah. Why’s that? Still waiting for my apology. Apology? Yeah. Did you or did you not falsely accuse me of murdering your wife? I don’t think this is the time and place. Well actually it is, you see, cuz Craig here needs to understand case. He hears from other people that I was a suspect and since he thinks that I’m not good enough for his ex.

You see, it was all a big misunderstanding. I had an ironclad alibi. Police felt mighty foolish when they realized they had the wrong guy.

So you’re cool with me hiding out here for a while, at least until the cops rest, Craig? Yes, of course. It’ll be fun, right? Mattie Andwe. Just like the old days. Yeah, just like the old days. We can order some junky takeaway and watch some rubbish. Tell together beer. I don’t deserve a friend like you. No. Stop.

Feel sorry to put your hands in the air. What the hell? I said put your hands in the air. Okay. Okay. Taking you back into custody. Wait, wait, wait, wait. How? How did you know I was here? You might want to talk to your little friend here. Quinn. Yeah. Hello. You remember that text I sent earlier? That was actually an SOS informing Ray that a dangerous fugitive.

It turned up on my doorstep. 20. How could you, Sorry. Matt Cake. You know what they say? One good 10 deserves another.

Gabby, I,

I dropped off the paperwork with legal. We’re all set. What paperwork? Oh, didn’t you tell her I was about to Got a little sidetracked. Stephan, tell me what. Well, Gabby, as you know, you inherited my shares of Damara upon my passing, but now that I am very much alive, I’ve officially requested they’ve taken from you and given back to me.

Why don’t you let me do the dishes? No way. Ice cream, Sunday night was my, I’m gonna see it too to the end. Well, you’re really earning your paycheck tonight. That reminds me. Remind me to write a check for Thompson’s school fundraiser. Oh, I’ll do it right now so we don’t forget. Okay. All right.

Ah, this is so wrong. Is it really? Maybe you should think twice next time before stabbing somebody in the back. Both figuratively and literally. I told you I’m innocent. I thought you believed me. Yeah, I sort of do, but I’m not going to get into trouble for harboring and if. Fugitive wise decision Commissioner.

Commissioner, please. You have to listen to me. I figured out who the killer is. So did I. And I am taking him to prison as we speak. No, no, you don’t understand. You’ve got the wrong man. I’m being set up. The real killer is Dr. Craig Wesley. Chad, I, um, I didn’t know Abigail very well. I didn’t know her. I just know that she was an exceptional young woman who was, she was taken away way too sick, and I’m, I’m very sorry I ConDOT this.

Thank you.

What? Nothing. I just felt that I smoked in all.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Well, good talking with you. Yeah. And hey, keep this under your hat, will you? The last thing I’d want is for Nancy to find out, right. Okay.

What a pleasant surprise.

This is a bad time. Oh, no, no, not at all. But how’s everything going with the new bride? It’s a disaster.

Sarah. What are you doing here? Aren’t you supposed to be on your honeymoon? The honeymoon is over. So is my marriage.

They’re married. It’s over.

Who’s, there’s

like sands through the hour class. So are the days of our lives.

Hey, Na. What you doing? You hid for me. Um, no, I um, I just saw that you were on the phone and I, uh, didn’t wanna interrupt. Yeah, I was just catching up with Ben. Uh, Roman doesn’t like me to make calls on the clock, you know. Oh, you were speaking to Ben? Yep. How are he and Sierra doing? Oh, man. Just living the dream.

They’ve already sailed up the Nova Scotia. They’re just on the beach digging clams. Sounds lovely. Yeah. Now, I don’t think I could make you fresh clams, but I could probably whip up something to tickle your fancy. Why don’t you come on in. I got another 20 minutes before my break is open. So Leo was actually in your room?

Yeah. Trust like a nurse. And he took off before the cops showed up. I don’t, I don’t get it. The, the, the killer who stabbed you is, is out there, and why, why, why isn’t there police stationed at the door? Because I don’t need. At least not from Lay. Why? Why would you say that? Because,

okay, look,

this is just a gut feeling. Okay. And yes, he did sneak in here and it disguise, but it wasn’t to kill me.

I know this. I know this might sound crazy, but. I’m starting to think that Leo really is innocent.

Please, please, please. You have to help me. The cups are after me. They think I killed Abigail and stab son. I know Matt’s all over the, But I’m innocent. I’m being framed. Oh God. What am I gonna do? Here’s a thing. I can handle this. You can this. I’m going to find the police and tell them that you’ve just confessed after all.

That’s what you did to me, isn’t it?

Disaster. Sandra, what happened? Sarah packed a bag and went home to Maggie. It’s, it’s been 24 hours. And your wedding was yesterday. I know that Jack, Sandra, what on earth did you do Sleigh with Nicole. You slept with Nicole again? Oh, Jack, just the one time last year, but I made the stupid mistake telling Sarah about it.

Now she wants nothing to do with me. Can you believe that Sandra would do this? I mean, first he sleeps with Nicole, but then he uses their little fling to publicly break up her marriage. Yeah, I remember. It was awful. You knew about it and you didn’t tell me. I Honey I didn’t tell you because I thought you already knew.

I thought you had heard about it or the Xander had told you when you first got back together. And even if I didn’t think you knew, it wasn’t my place to tell you. I know I am. You’re right. But

mom, I didn’t hear about it and Zer Sure has held, didn’t tell me. Too late until I made this stupid mistake of marrying him. No, honey, it wasn’t a mistake. Well, how can you say that? Why would I wanna be married to a man who could be so reckless and then so cruel? Who would break up someone’s marriage for profit?

Why aren’t you saying anything?

Do not tell me that you’re gonna take his side on this. I’m not taking sides. I’m, I’m really not. But I don’t see why it’s a deal maker. Suzanne was going through a terrible time. He, he was feeling rejected and lonely and missing you and wondering why you had left him, what was supposed to be your wedding day.

Mm-hmm. Don’t, do not make excuses for. I’m just telling you how I feel about it. It’s obviously up to you how you’re gonna react or what you’re gonna decide to do. Yes, yes, yes it is. It’s up to me and I have decided that I wanna be the hell away from him. Okay? I won’t stand in your way. Not that I could stand in your way, but Sarah,

what? You know, I just say it. I don’t know if this is gonna affect your decision, but if you leave Xander and your marriage, I can think of someone who’s gonna be very happy about it. I cannot believe that you’re going there. I’m just saying No. What you’re just doing is bringing up one of the most horrible and evil women on the planet, insinuating that if I leave Xander, then win is just gonna swoop right?

Well, Sarah, don’t you think that’s true?

Hmm? Now should I call the station directly? Maybe RA 20. I’m sorry. I never should have told the police you confessed. I didn’t want to. It was my lawyer’s idea. Oh my God. Are you seriously blaming your lawyer? Oh, Sloane is a shark. She convinced me I had to give the police something, something that something was me.

You threw me under the bus just like you did. Stupid mask. And you know what? Moving right along to current events really bad for Mattie, hanging around in the office right after the stabbing of, So Carus leaving your list out there and playing daylight so Chad can come after you. It’s like you always wanted to be cool or something.

No, I didn’t wanna be caught. And the only thing I was caught doing was being in the wrong place at the wrong. Did you miss the part where I said I was being framed? Gwen, somebody is trying to set me up and you are the only person who can help me figure out who it is. Just hear me out, okay? If at the end of this conversation you don’t believe me, call the cops, Gwen, please.

You are the only friend I have in the world. I have nowhere else to go. Nobody else I can turn. You have no idea what it’s like to feel so completely alone.

Actually, I do.

Right. Go on then. You’ve got 10 minutes talk.

You actually think Leo is innocent? Well, if he was guilty, why wouldn’t he have just killed me as soon as he came in? So what did he do? Nothing he, he just asked me a bunch of questions about when I was stabbed. He wanted to know every detail. Oh, that was an act to get you to let your guard down. I was laying here completely helpless, and yet he didn’t even try to hurt.

And he said the only reason he came to the office was to get Alex to back off. That actually makes sense. Well, that was probably another lie. God, okay, look, I know that you think I’m just being gullible or whatever, but I’m not. If he wanted to kill me, he would’ve just done it. Then in there he wouldn’t have left and then come back.

It doesn’t. It doesn’t make any sense. And guess what? He finally actually apologized for Leaking those photos to the intruder. He, Leo admitted that he did that. Well, we, he didn’t exactly. Drugging me or taking the pictures. You know what? Whatever. In spite of all that, whatever he did or didn’t do when I showed up to your office, he was standing over your bloody body.

How do you explain that?

That is your favorite, Isn’t it? Club sandwich on a ride? You, you just, you’re just not hungry. Um, I guess I’m just worried about Chloe. I mean that horrible deal Stark is still on the loose. Oh, well both she and Brady are on that hipness of his, Yeah, appreciate your concern. But the police have a assigned security to both of them.

Yes, and And I have warn Chloe that she needs to be on her guard. I don’t think you got anything to worry about really. I mean that Brady’s a pretty tough guy. He is very protective of the people he loves. You don’t think he’d let that little twerp touch a single hair in her head? Dude, you’re probably right.

Brady. Never let anything happen to Chloe. Of course, I’m right. You should know it better than to doubt me by now.

I can’t do this. I, I, I can’t pretend anymore when nothing’s going right. I mean, I have done that for most of my life and it has not surfed me well, sweetheart, what is it that’s troubling you so bad? Clyde, I know you’re lying to me.

And even if Leo could have stabbed you when he came to your office the first time and didn’t, why did he come back? And why did I find him standing over you with a knife in your back?

Because he said he needed his parking malade Sunny. I know. Come on. I know it’s a little, a little weird and far fact, I know

that huge heart of yours and that desire to see the best in people. It’s one of the, the many, many reasons that I love you so much, but we both know. That Leo is incapable of being honest. We know that. So what makes you think that this is the one time he’s telling the truth that he didn’t stab you or Abigail?

I don’t know. I don’t know. It’s just like, Gut feeling okay, but it’s a strong one.

It’s a really strong one.

Sarah can’t really be that upset about your one. Nice. Stand with Nicole, can’t she? I mean, after, Oh, she got over the fact that you were engaged to Gwen and married to Chanel Dupree. Right. Yeah, she did. But the one night stand with Nicole isn’t the reason she’s so upset. I mean, she’s not thrilled with it, obviously, but it’s not why she left.

Then what was just that? I used my, having slept with Nicole to bust stuff, Eric and Nicole’s marriage. Oh, I see. And I did it because Sammy paid me a million bucks, all of which. Just admitted to Sarah. Well, in that case, I, I understand Sarah’s reaction. Hey, that’s the last thing I need to hear, right? My, sorry.

What do I need to hear? How can I help? Well, you can tell me what I can do to fix this. What can I do to make Sarah forget that she married an idiot? I, I really don’t have the answer. Of course you do, Jack. I mean, you’re able to help me before and brilliantly so come on. What your magic again, tell me what I can do to get Sarah back, please.

Why would I even wanna think about that horrible woman right now? Like, God, Mom, my marriage just ended. I know, honey, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have gone there. What? You’re right. Since you did for the record, even if when Riz check did try to get Xander back, there is no way he would go back to her. Not now.

After he knows all of the awful things that she did.

What? What are you thinking now?

It’s just that Gwen is a very manipulative person. Look how hard she tried to keep you and Xandra apart when you first came back. And if she thinks you’ve left Xander willingly, don’t you think that she’s gonna try every trick in the book to take advantage of that situation? Hell, she’s probably over there in this hotel room, right?

Pouring him a few drinks and offering him a shoulder to cry on. Perhaps more than a shoulder to cry on. Now that I think, Whoa, that I’m stop.

Well, I’ll say that we need to figure it out. Surely you must have some idea of who it is. I do, I’m thinking it over and it has to be somebody who hates me. Wow. Brilliant. Share luck. Okay, give me a break. Day mag, in case you haven’t noticed, I’m slightly round. Okay. Right. Okay. Alright. I say that it’s somebody who hates you, as obvious as that is.

I believe that that’s true. Doesn’t really narrow it down then does it? Sorry. From one town pariah to another. There’s no shortage of people in this town who would like to see us both disappear for a very long time. True, but whoever’s trying to frame me isn’t someone who just hates me. It’s someone who really has an ax to grind against me.

Oh my God. I know who it is. It’s Nancy. Me lying to you. But what are you talking about? How Clyde, you can just. Cut the act. I know that wasn’t been, you were speaking with on the phone before. Of course it was. Really? Then why did you say, uh, you didn’t want me to find out what you were talking about? Oh, oh, Nancy, that.

Is not what you think, just save it. I, I know that whatever you’re up to is illegal or immoral and I don’t want any part of it. We’re through Clyde. We are through.

How can you tell me that Gwen is gonna use our breakup to manipulate Xander to taking her back? Do you actually think that that’s helpful to me? Right. I, I’m just trying to make a point, which is what, Okay. You know, when you were gone, Xander was a mess. He was drinking all the time. He was doing anything to stop thinking about you and to stop the pain of losing.

You see, I think that since you and Sandra first met, you’ve known. Moral compass isn’t an infallible guy, and more recently you must have accepted that you’ve married someone who’s made a lot of mistakes just like I did darling. When I married Victor, I vowed to love all of. The good and the bad, and I’m not saying there is absolutely nothing that I won’t forgive, but I’ve promised myself that I won’t blame Victor for his past, and I don’t think you should blame Sandra Freeze.

I wish I could give you a magic fix for the damage that you’ve done to your relationship with Sarah, but I honestly don’t know what that would be. Maybe because there is no fix. I No, no, no. I didn’t say that. No, never mind. Jack is honestly just, just you being here listening, not judging it’s, it’s enough and looking to other people to fix my problems.

Like, for instance, accepting a million dollars from Sammy. What got me into this situation in the first place. I’m glad to hear you say that, Sandra. That’s just some real emotional growth. I’m not sure about all that, but look enough about me. Is there any word on Abigail’s case? Well, I just got a call from ra, unfortunately.

Leo Stark is still on the loose. So Leo is the prime suspect,

not just in Abigail’s murder,

but in your cousin’s son’s stabbing as well. I heard about that, but the cop sure it was him. I. And overly is a scam artist and a bassoon, but not convinced the guy a killer, but who honestly defending me are stark. Oh, he is hardly one of my favorite people, that’s for sure. But you certainly are, Jack. I wanna make sure you get real justice for Abergil.

The right person gets locked up forever and call a gut feeling. I’m just not sure that that person is Leo Stark.

Nancy. Nancy Wesley. Mm-hmm. . You think she’s the one who’s framing you? It makes perfect sense. She hates me. I, I stole her husband. She blames me for breaking up her marriage even though that marriage was doomed because he was a closet case and she was burying her head in the sand. But still, as far as that fey annoying woman is concerned.

Had I not come along, she and Craig would still be living. Revoltingly phony, marital bliss. Miss Poet. Plus, she knew about my list. I was stupid enough to tell her that her even fe your daughter Chloe was on it. That woman. What a whiny humorless bore. I don’t see what Brady Black see her. Okay. Can we just stick to the point here?

Okay. And I’m sorry to burst your bubble, Matt, but I don’t think that that Fey woman, Nancy, that is, would ever stab sunny or kill my sister. Yes, she might hate you, but. I don’t know. She seems like she’s actually a nice little lady. I think she draws the line at killing people. Oh, I disagree, honey. That woman is sweet the way I am straight and I wouldn’t put anything past her.

Although now that you mention it, trying to picture her stabbing someone to death or almost to death. Oh no, you’re right. Maybe it wasn’t Nancy.

I, um, just can’t be with you anymore. You are obviously not the man that I thought you were. I what I am, Nancy. When I said I didn’t want you to find out, it wasn’t about anything illegal. You know what? I don’t wanna hear your excuses. It may technically not be illegal, but you know, it’s something that I wouldn’t approve of.

I mean, Clyde, I can’t keep doing. Unless, Are you cheating on me? Is there another woman, sweetheart, I swear in my grandson’s life, there is no other woman

then is there another man? Am I your beard like I was for my husband for over 30 years? I promise you. There is no other man. There is no other woman. And what is it you’re keeping from me? What the hell is the big secret?

I never saw my attacker. They came from behind him. I never got a chance to see their face. What if Marla hypnotized you then? Then maybe you could get your memory. Um, that’s a good idea, but I don’t think she’ll be able to do it. She’s, she’s under the weather. Okay. Well, maybe we don’t need Marla. Right.

Maybe we can help you get your memory back. We just need to, you just, you just need to concentrate on exactly what. When you were stabbed and then, and then you could get rid of any lingering doubts and plus it would help the cops. No. No. Why no? Why no. Because you nearly died and I don’t want, I don’t want him to have to relive that moment.

It’s okay. You’re here with me, and if it’s too hard, we can, we can just stop. Hey, he doesn’t have to do anything he doesn’t wanna do. I want to do it. I wanna remember it. I, I wanna understand what happened to me and who’s responsible.

I made my career as a reporter seeking out facts, not rushing to judgment, and based on all the evidence that police have, I find it very likely that Leo is the killer. Well, if that’s the case, then I hope they find him soon and my god, Chad, my goes out. And not just for the last of your wonderful daughter, but for having to suffer through this investigation, trying to find out who’s responsible.

Thank you. Thank you, Sam. Well taken up enough of your time. I’m gonna go home and try and figure out how to win back my wife. Don’t worry. She’ll come around as you know, because she loves you.

So you’re just saying, I should forgive Xander and chalk it up to one of his many mistakes. Sweetheart, I’m not telling you what to do, but yesterday it was your wedding day, your third, and this past year and a half on your first wedding day. I, I know it hasn’t been easy for you and Xander, but Xander spent most of this year and a half thinking that you didn’t want anything to do with him, and yet he never stopped loving you.

So if that isn’t for better or for worse, I don’t know what he is. So, um, I can have Henderson take your bag up to your old room, or you can go back home and you can, you can start that honeymoon with your husband.

So, which will it be?

What is that, ? Well, what do you think it is?

This is what I was talking about on the phone before when I was talking to Ben. You see, I didn’t want him to spill the beans before I had a chance to pop the question. It’s, it’s nothing fancy. It’s all that I could afford. Nancy, I’ve told you before, and I mean it from the bottom of my heart, I’m trying to be the kind of man that is worthy of a woman like you.

So with that in mind, I, I wanna do this right? So,

Nancy Miller, I love you and I promise you from this moment, I will dedicate myself to making you happy. Would you do me the honor of becoming my wife?

You’re right. Nancy Miller is no killer. I just thought she was the most likely suspect since I did kind of ruin her life. Mm, yeah. Well, hers isn’t the only life you ruined. What about your ex-husband? Who? Jackie Cox, AKA Darius Rose. Oh, right. Him. I’d say he has a pretty big ax to grind, wouldn’t you? Since you were going to take Craig’s money and split it with Darius and then he stabbed them in the back.

Okay. Now that you’re relaxed, And you are relaxed, right? Yeah. And try to go back to when you were in your office right after Leo left. Can you remember exactly where you were? It was at my desk

and I needed a file. Good. So you’re at the file. My back pushed to the door and I heard a noise and I started to turn around, but before I couldn’t. It’s okay. It’s okay. Take, take your time. But before I could, I felt this pain in my back like this sharing, and then it just goes black. Okay. Um, okay. Let’s, let’s go back to when you, when you heard the noise, um, what did it, what did it sound like?

I don’t know. I don’t know. It was just, it was just like a, a noise. Okay. Okay. Um, then you, you said, go back to right when you, you’re turning around. Did you see anything? Did you hear anything? Vanilla? You heard vanilla? No. I smelled it. Whoever came into my office smelled my vanilla.

Well, this is unexpected. Um, I’m having a hard. Figure out how you feel about this. You, you’re about to cry, . I know. I’m just emotional. Are you sad? No, I’m emotional because not too long ago I was rejected. I felt rejected and foolish because the man I had been married to for 30 years to find out that he, he didn’t love me.

You know, to feel wanted and loved and cried just means more to me than you’ll never know. It just makes me feel so hopeful. It makes me happy to hear that because you are wanted and you are loved, because you are a wonderful woman, Nancy, and I’m a lucky man to have you in my life.

God and all the time I was upset and you were doing this special proposal for me. Well, Lord knows, with my checkered past I’ve given you plenty to be doubtful about. Fancy my knees ain’t what they used to be, and I really need to know now, is it a yes or no? Definitely.

I did not stab Darius in the back. I was speaking metaphor. But you’re right. I did totally ruin his life. Not only did he miss out on a big payday, Pol got deported back to Canada going, You’re a genius. You just blew the case wide open. No, I don’t think I did because see, if he was deported back, oh, he was, send me a bunch of texts whining about being back in the land of carbs.

What with all that Maple syrup and putan. Okay. Matt, Focus. Right. If Darius was deported back to Canada, how could he come back here twice to kill Abigail and stab son? Hmm, good point. And now that I think about it, that queen can’t stand the side of blood. One time he cut himself shaving, passed out, nearly drowned Trump.

He was in the tub, he was shading in the tub. His legs gony. There’s no way he did it. Rise. Well that crosses Darius off the list then.

Well, if it wasn’t Darius, who was it? Whoever attacked you smelled like vanilla believe. That’s all I remember. I wish I could be more helpful to you guys. You, you already did the most important thing you survived. And thank God when I showed up to that office and I saw you bleeding on the floor, right?

I was very worried. But not that I lost you too. Don’t worry buddy. Not come anywhere.

Hey. Hey, Jennifer’s upstairs. She’s putting the kids to sleep. How Sunny. Much better. Thank God. Glad to hear it, but much to my surprise and disappointment, Sunny is an entirely convinced that Leo Stark is guilty. Really, Sandra was just here. He said basically the same thing. Come on Sandra. You gotta get this right.

Your marriage, your, your own life depends on

Dear Sarah, You cannot possibly fathom the depths of regret that I lost too much Sarah. Hi. So, uh, are you back to get more of your stuff? No, that bag is full of the stuff I took to my mom’s. I’m bringing it back. Oh. Hmm. Is that because, Because Sandra.

I realize I may have overreacted to what you told me about Nicole and the aftermath of that. No. Sarah, you didn’t overreact. You, You were right to be upset with me. Yeah, but I,

I wasn’t right to give up on you cause I love you. And I made a commitment to you. Oh, I love you too, Sarah. So much, so, so very much.

Wait, does this mean that you’re back on one condition? You, you have to promise now that we are married, you will never pull anything like that again. Never . Because you do make me a better man. Cause you’re all I need. You’re all I one,

almost forgot.

It’s such a beautiful ring for my beautiful bride and like I said, I’m do the best I can to make you happy and help you put your painful bass behind you. Oh my God.

Who would do this? Who hates me enough to set me up for murder?

Oh, good Lord. What? It’s an epiphany. I’m having an epiphany and I’m totally sober. This is a first. Okay. Tell me, tell me what it’s, What is the D epiphany? It’s a mental image in technical I might add that is practically blinding my mind’s eye with its vividness. Oh, of god sake. Louis, what are you trying to say?

That I know who the murdering bastard is? The stab happy sadist who killed Abigail Dir and almost killed Sunny Curus. Oh my God. Gwennie. I know who it is for real this time. Craig?

Days of Our Lives Transcript

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Chanel. I, uh, I, I wasn’t expecting to see you here. Yeah. I, I wasn’t expecting to see you either.

It’s me. I need you to track down my dead brother. No, not Jake, my other dead brother, Stephan. He’s my ticket to winning myself of his widow once. And for all

Gabby, I’m not sure what you mean. Well, you, you do remember the other night at the mansion when Ava thought she saw Jake at the. Of course. So we all thought she was hallucinating and turns out she wasn’t. So it had to be Stephan. So my question to you is if she saw him, how did you not see him too?

Oh my God. Uh, am I seeing things. No Chloe you’re stunning. Blue eyes are as keen as ever.

Stephan that’s me. I’m alive. Well, how is this impossible. If you let me in, I’ll tell you all about it.

What are you talking about? I, I didn’t murder anyone. Don’t try and deny agree. Objection, your honor. This outrageous allegation has absolutely no basis in facts, your honor, as, as we’ve established, uh, Mr. Damara, she doesn’t have a shred of evidence to prove her case. So out of desperation, she’s making this up.

I am not making anything up. You killed your uncle Philip curus in cold blood.

Like sand through the hour are the days of our lives.

Well, that’s lie. I’m afraid not this man is a murderer. Objection. That is absurd. Tread carefully. Ms. Damara. Were you, or were you not charged with the murder of Philip CUUS? The charges were dropped. The da didn’t have a case because the police never found Philip’s body. Of course they didn’t. After you were done with them, there was nothing left, but a prosthetic leg.

So Ralph kept you alive this entire time. Yeah, he eventually brought me back when he found a heart. Found it where

actually I have no idea. Well, this is unbelievable. Does your family know? Does Gabby know she must be over the moon? Quite frankly, I don’t give a damn how Gabby feels. What I don’t care about Gabby, Chloe

woman, I care about is you.

Hmm, Stefan must, uh, run off before I arrived. That that doesn’t make any sense. I mean, you said that Ava fainted and you arrived and you caught her before she hurt herself, right? She fainted because she saw Stephan. If he ran off before you showed up, I mean, how did you catch her? Wouldn’t she have just fallen to the floor.

What exactly are you accusing me of? Do you think I’m lying to you?

I guess I shouldn’t be surprised to see you here. You and Ali are together now. Um, Anyway, can I come in? I need to talk to my sister. Oh, she’s not here right now. What’s with a bag. I need a place to crash and I was hoping Allie might let me stay here. I, I thought you were staying with Ava at the Salem in not anymore.

Why? Why are you making such a big deal about this? Come on, Ava. You cannot blame me for being protective over my brother, especially since, since what? Since I know what you’re capable of, when a relationship goes wrong, you’ve threatened to kill my aunt. Kayla. If my uncle Steve didn’t sleep with you, you tried to frame Ray for a crime.

He didn’t commit. All right. Well, just rest assure you. Don’t have to worry about that with Johnny, because you say. Well, first off I care about him. And second, we are not in a relationship Chanel and I saw you two going into the Salem Inn together. Yeah. Okay. Johnny stayed with me overnight in my room, on the floor.

Okay. We’re buddies. That is it. See worry. You’re pretty little head about me hurting your brother.

I’m not. I’m not accusing you of anything. I’m just, I’m really trying to figure out what happened just because Stephan’s alive. Doesn’t mean Ava stopped having hallucinations of Jake. She still could have seen Jake when I opened the door. That would be quite a coincidence. I don’t know what to tell you.

Gabby. I didn’t see Stephen that night, but I did see him a little while ago. Where here,

Chloe, you must remember that we, we had something special. When you were living under my roof, I know it started out as me just giving you a safe place to stay, but we were building a deeper connection, something that went far beyond friendship and gratitude. Wait clearly don’t remember that you were sleeping with Gabby behind my back guessing I was an idiot to fall for her tricks.

It clearly she was trying to seduce me to get revenge for her going back to prison. And if I had my way that two face sadist would still be there. Stefan, come on, Chloe. What Gabby did makes my blood boil. She wanted to destroy. But in the end, she destroyed you and me

if opposing counsel’s plan is to continue making slanderous statements about my client, asking questions, Mr. Damara apologies, your honor.

The last place that Philip KIIS was seen alive was at the river bay. Yes. And Chloe left him there and when she returned, he was gone, but you were there isn’t that, right? That, yes. And isn’t it true that Chloe found you. Passed out drenched in Phillip’s blood and a bloody knife next to you with only your fingerprints on it.

Answer the question, please. Yes. And speaking of blood, wasn’t your blood alcohol level determined to be more than three times the legal limit. Objection, relevance. The fact that Brady. Was blackout, drunk and slaughtered. A member of his own family is very relevant in determining whether he’s a fit parent.

No, that is not a fact those charges were dropped ultimately. Yes, but everything leading up to those charges being filed in the first place is a matter of police record. And since Mr. Black refuses to answer my questions, I would like to enter those records into evidence

when Allie and I saw you and Ava. The other night at the Salem end, we thought you were getting a room together. Yeah. I, I only stayed one night. Um, when my dad kicked us out, it was pretty late and neither of us had anywhere else to go, so, oh, okay. I, I thought that you two were sleeping together. no, no. Um, it, it was headed in that direction, but, um, Ava had second thoughts because she just lost her husband.

Right. She’s still grieving. So you wanted to sleep with her, but you didn’t because she had, she couldn’t handle it. Yeah. Eva is a very attractive woman, obviously. And when she was staying with us, she and I, we, we really bonded. So maybe someday when she’s ready, who knows. Right. Who knows Stefan was.

Sitting right there in your chair. He told me he’d been here all night. My office, why? He said he wanted to be somewhere familiar where he felt in control. Wonder if he was looking for me, he wasn’t. How do you know that? If you’re worried about me coming in between you and Gabby, you don’t need to be

quite frankly the thought of her turns my stomach. He made that pretty clear. I see. Do you have any idea where step went? Maybe he, uh, went looking for Chloe lane.

So Stephan, you got past what Gabby did to you. You fell in love with. You married her that all may be true, but I realize now that that was a huge mistake. Look, Chloe, I never should have gotten involved with Gabby and I certainly never should have let you go.

Now. I know this is all very overwhelming for you. But it’s a good thing. It’s a wonderful thing. We can be together. Now we can pick up where we left off.

Um, I’m sorry, Stephan, but that isn’t gonna happen. I’m with someone else now

who Brady.

Your honor, I can assure you that whatever is in those records, there’s no bearing whatsoever on what kind of a father I am, that it was an isolated incident in which I harmed no one. Now this woman on the other hand has been terrorizing people for years. Objection. She has not only gone after me. She has gone after almost every single member of my family.

Your honor, she stabbed my grandfather. She raped my brother. She was caught. Single-handedly trying to kidnap our own daughter. The list goes on and on. I can keep going. I served my time. Who’s granted a full pardon for everything I did. Yes. And that, that doesn’t change the fact that you did it, that’s it.

You drug people, you held people hostage, you poisoned people. Kristen, Ms. Black, please remind your client that Ms. Dara’s past crimes are inadmissible. Fine. Let’s talk about her recent crimes. What about the fact that she threatened Chloe? Just a couple days ago in my office with a letter opener Brady, please.

I’m just, I mean, don’t be a fool, your honor. I mean, this woman is still the violent psychopath. That she’s pretty much always been your honor. I apologize for my client’s outburst, please disregard it. He has nothing further to add. Please Dira. I’m sorry, just need a moment, please.

Your honor. I believe that after reviewing those documents and considering Mr. Black’s outburst here today, frightening volatility that you just witnessed. I believe that you will get a full understanding of why I don’t want my daughter being raised by a homicidal alcoholic.

Don’t get me wrong. Ava. And I, we do have a real connection. So you said, but like I also said, she’s just, she’s not ready to jump in anything serious. She’s just started a new job. She’s trying to find a place to live. So, and she’s old enough to be your mother. She actually is trip’s mother. And did you think about what he, what he think if he knew, knew what I just told you?

She and I didn’t sleep together yet. But you said it’s because she isn’t ready and that it still could happen. It could. Yeah. But right now it’s just, what, what are you thinking? Just that, even the fact that you wanted to have sex with Ava and that is still might happen. You know, I’m, I’m starting to wonder if this is about what trip would think or if it’s about what you think

Well, I must admit I am relieved. Ah, I am sure you are Johnny. And I had had our issues and our relationship right now. It’s strained. Like I said, But he’s a really good person and he’s just been through a lot lately. Yeah. I mean we all, yeah. Um, I’m, I’m sorry. I did not mean to come across as insensitive I’m I am really sorry for your loss.

Thanks. So, um, Johnny’s not staying with you anymore? No, no. I told him he needed to either move. Home where he needed to find a new place to live.

What are you talking about? Lee? Why would Stephan go see Chloe? You remember what he said yesterday at the crypt? How you ruined his chances with her? Yeah, but that, that couldn’t mean anything. Their relationship. If you could even call it, that was a big pet, nothing. That’s not the impression I got from Stephan.

Stephan’s been unconscious for four years and Ralph has been watching over him. We don’t know what that nut job did to his brain. Clearly, he’s confused. So you’re saying Stephan didn’t have feelings for Chloe. He took pity on her for like one minute. He helped her out of a jam that she got into with a drug Lord.

That’s. The only woman he’s ever wanted was me. Actually, the only woman he ever really loved was me. Are you sure about that?

You’re with Brady. Yes. I’m in love with him.

I don’t understand.

He was in on the plan with Gabby to break us up he’s as deceitful and manipulative as she is, that was a long time ago. And we’ve moved past that. Oh, listen, Stephan. I I’m, I’m glad that you are alive. I, I really am. We are not going to be together. So I, I think you should. I think you should go

fine.

I’m not giving up on you, Chloe. I was given a second chance that life. And I’m hoping you will give me a second chance at love.

I am sorry about this Brady and I know what you did to Phillip. Wasn’t your fault. He didn’t do anything. I understand your denial bell. You love your brother very much. And a part of me will always love him. He used to be such a good and decent man. It’s true, your honor. He was such a wonderful person until he got involved with Chloe.

Again. Objection, your honor. Earlier you said that your only concern was the best interest of the child. And to that end, you allowed me to question Ms. I simply am just trying to paint a full picture so that you understand how dangerous that woman is. Go ahead. Earlier, Chloe admitted to being a kidnapper.

Now, is she learned from this or changed her wicked ways? I mean, we wouldn’t be here right now, but sadly and tragically, she did not. And it breaks my heart cuz you were doing so. You worked hard on your sobriety and he was stable. He was thriving even. And then along came glowing. She used your jealousy of Philip to work her way back into your life.

Drove you to the bottle again. And then eventually to commit murder. Once again, your honor, this is pure fiction. She pushed you to kill and who knows where she’s gonna push him next. And that is why I very reluctantly ask you to grant me full custody until Brady rids himself of miss Chloe lane. I don’t want him go anywhere near my daughter.

If you’re implying that I’m jealous. No, no. I’m just surprised you’re being so judging. Judgey. How am I being judgey saying she’s old enough to be my mother. She is, it’s not a judgment. It’s a fact. Okay. You’re the one who was all I’m attracted to the person, not their gender. So if gender doesn’t matter, then why should age?

Okay. It doesn’t, or at least it shouldn’t. And as for my friendship with Ava,

she needed someone to be there for, to comfort her. So did I, we were both feeling kind of lonely and lost. You get that right? Yeah. I, I, I kiss

now that Ms. Damira has finished presenting nothing but wild inaccuracies and outright lies. I would like to present some truth. I have several witnesses lined up who would love to testify as to what a wonderful father Brady is. That’s enough for one day. We’ll resume in the morning. Thank you, everyone.

Court is adjourned.

Nice try Kristen.

You know, your little, uh, Your little smear campaign. It’s not gonna work. Really think that judge is gonna just forget about all the terrible things that you’ve done. It doesn’t matter, she can’t consider any of them. But what she can consider is that you acted like a total lunatic here today, combined with the documents that I gave her documents that clearly state that the charges against Bri were dropped only because his granddaddy went to bat for him.

It’s another thing I need to tell the judge about what are you talking about? Don’t play dumbbell, Victor and Kate signed a document declaring that Phillip was legally dead. And then all of a sudden they revoked. Why did they do that? Because the police never found Phillip’s body. Victor knew he was gone and that he knew it was too late to save him, but not Brady.

So he talked Kate into pretending that there was no murder so that his beloved grandson wouldn’t go to prison. You know, that I didn’t feel Philip. And you know that I would never put Rachel in any kind of danger. This is not about. This is about your pathological jealousy, Kristin. That’s what this is about.

No, no. Brady. This is about your deadly obsession with a home wrecking baby stealing horror. No, I didn’t wanna bring her up, but I had to, because it is my obligation to protect Rachel. And when that judge reads about you and the bloody knife and your drunken blackouts she’ll agree that I did the right.

That I had no choice, but to tell the truth about you and Chloe,

of course, I’m sure that Stefan loved me, but like I said, he’s just a little confused right now and he hasn’t fully regained his memory, but he will. I wouldn’t be so sure why not? When he realized we were engaged, he congratulated us, said he was glad you moved on and hoped we’d be very happy together. He was just being polite.

Okay. It doesn’t change the fact that there was only one great love in his life. And that was me.

Have you found Ste yet, then try harder dam it. My brother couldn’t have disappeared into thin air.

Hey, what’s going on? Oh, Johnny came by because he wanted to ask you if he could stay here, he needs a place to crash. I heard I’ll take the couch and I promise I won’t be any trouble. So what did he, SIS? I’ll have to think about it. I’m I’m your twin brother. You don’t really want me out on the street. Do you?

I mean, I’m sure you have plenty of other options besides my couch. You didn’t tell him that he could stay here. Did you? Of course not. This is your place. Look, Allie. You’ve got nothing to worry about between me and Chanel. She chose you. You shouldn’t feel threatened. I. But why should I help you with anything?

Because family helps family, right? Like how you tried to get your ex-mother-in-law to help you break up mean Dupre

does a part of you really still love Brady.

That’s what I said. Isn’t. and you know how much Rachel loves her father, right? He’s her whole world.

What is your point? The entire time that you were on the run? Brady raised your daughter all by himself and he was incredible. So what you’re doing, trying to cut her out of his life is. I don’t see it that way. No, I know. I know that you’re angry that Brady doesn’t want a future with you, but Brady and Chloe are going to be together no matter what, and cutting Rachel out of his life, isn’t gonna change that.

It’s just gonna traumatize her even more. I mean, do you know how stressed out she is? Do you want her to keep suffering? No, of course not. Okay. Then drop this suit and let’s work out a joint custody arrangement with Brady. Forget it, Kristen. He only wants what’s fair. He’s not trying to shut you out of Rachel’s life.

Brady is willing to, to forgive all the things you’ve done in the past, because he knows it’s in the best interest of your daughter to have a relationship with both of her parents.

Chris. And I know that it’s, it’s really hard to set aside your pain and your pride. I know that feels impossible, but if you love your daughter and I mean, I really believe you do, you’ll do it. You’ll do it for her.

Great. Thank you. Hey, Hey, how’d it go. After I left from bad to worse, Kristen tried to convince the judge that I killed Philip. What? Yeah. She even gave, uh, the judge a record of police record of all the gory details. And I, I blew up too. I blew up in court. I don’t think it helped my cause much. Aw, I’m sure bell can sort this out.

Yeah, I’m hoping she can too. Why don’t we call her right now and let’s start brainstorming. No, babe, I don’t want, I don’t want to brainstorm. I can’t, I I’m fried. I just have to hope that tomorrow is better. I wanna take a shower. I just want a shot. I would love for you to join me. Honestly. I would love that, but, uh, there’s something I need to talk to you about and I know it’s really bad timing, but it’s, it’s kind of a big deal.

Okay. Uh, tell me, well, um, Stephan Damara showed up here today. He’s alive.

my God. It is true. I heard you were back. What? Wonderful news. appreciate the warm welcome. Although we’ve never actually met before. In fact, the only other time I’ve seen you before today was when I went to visit you in the hospital and you were wrapped head to toe and bandages seems we’ve both made miraculous recovery.

Perhaps it’s something in our DNA after all we are brothers. We’re also strangers. So E. Why are you so happy to see me?

I know. Huh? It’s a shock that Stephan’s back.

Ha you two were in love. You, you were, you were married, but Gary, a lot of time has passed. It’s clear, Stephan doesn’t feel the same way about you as he did in the past. He just doesn’t remember how he feels about me.

Maybe it’s better that way. What do you mean you’ve moved on with your life since you lost him? You are in a really great place right now, Gabby, we are in a really great place. We’re engaged. We love each other don’t we? Of course. So imagine how complicated it would be. If, if he remembered his feelings for you this way, you’re both free to move on.

The slate is wiped. I know how hard this must be for you, and I’m gonna do everything I can to help, but you also have to do everything to help yourself by forgetting about the past and focusing on the future, your future’s with me, Gabby heavy. You need to let Stephan go.

Are you being so nice to me, us, I like having you around and I care about you AFA

a lot.

Did didn’t I apologize for teaming up with Paul. Not that I recall. Hmm. Well then I should have you two Chanel. I, uh, I’m very sorry. I know that that was a mistake and I’m trying to move past it. Mm-hmm with trip’s mother who is around the same age as our mother who just lost her husband about five minutes ago.

They relax Allie. Okay. I just finished explaining to Chanel and nothing happened between us. We’re just friends. Yeah. She told me that it was her decision that you pursued her and she rejected. . When did she tell you that? I just talked to her, but I know you Johnny, and I know the one, you want something, you go after her with a vengeance.

and you don’t, you wanted Chanel and you went after her, even though she’s my ex-wife. Okay. If you’re trying to convince me to let you stay here, you’re not doing a very good job. You’re right. You are right. And I am sorry again, but I still need a place to crash. So what do you say? Can I take the couch?

Hi, just don’t get too comfortable.

So Stephan told you that that marrying Gabby was a mistake. Yeah. And that he wants me back. Well, that’s, that’s insane. I mean, hold on. Unless, unless what do you think, well, who, who would benefit from this? Who, who would benefit from, from step and all of a sudden being alive and then pursuing you? What do you mean?

You remember? Not too long ago, Kristen knocking on the door and coming in here and saying, where is. As if she was expecting someone to be here with you, what if that person she was expecting to be here was Ste, oh my God. That must have been it. Yeah. Has to be. So you’re thinking, I’m thinking that Kristen’s up to her neck in this.

I love my daughter with all my heart and soul. I. She’s everything to me, that’s why I’m doing this. So you can tell your client that as long as Chloe is in his life, I’m not dropping this case. And given how things went today. I think I have a real good chance at winning. Wow. You won’t even consider making a deal.

You want a different outcome. You convince Chloe to let Brady go move on to someone else. Us plenty efficiency.

We may not know each other, but we are. Family is everything to me as it was to our father. And he would say that this occasion, his two sons reunited would call for a toast

to the return of Stephan O Damira.

I know we’ll do great things together at the family company. Thought you were no longer CEO. I was unceremoniously unseated by your widow, but she was voting the shares she inherited from you. Now that you are back, perhaps a situation might changed. How so? As I understand it, your feelings towards the former Mrs.

Taira have gone cold. Clearly I can’t stand the. So I thought perhaps the two of us could work together to take back the company and we could start by getting rid of Gabby.

I really appreciate your support, Lee.

This is it’s a. And I, I just, I can’t talk about it anymore right now. I just really need to be alone.

I understand. I’ll give you the time you need.

I love you Gabby. And when you’re ready, I’ll be here.

Days of Our Lives Transcript

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Hey, you didn’t so much on your way here. Are you okay? Not great. I could, I could lose Rachel to. Today, it’s scaring the hell outta me, Chloe. How could a judge give a woman like her complete control over a child? I mean, come on, Kristen has spent most of Rachel’s life in prison or on the run. She has no idea what personal responsibility is, especially for a little girl.

Now, you, you are the best father that any kid could wish for. Keep saying stuff like that. I like that. Sorry, I’m gonna. First Kristen, no idea, but knowing her probably up to no good Kristen, what you and I have to talk later, I’m doing court and I’m running behind. You might wanna make time. It has to do with.

I have to let you go.

You came back to me and this time. I’m not gonna let you go.

Hey, was your day, Johnny? What are you still doing here?

Like sands through the hour class. So are the days of our lives.

I was taking a shower. Okay. Well, you agreed that you would only be here one night and I’m fine with that. Not, uh, not crazy about sleeping on the floor, so, okay. And you shouldn’t have to, so please, please put your clothes on and go have my orientation at Damara today. And it wasn’t a lot of fun. What happened?

I really don’t wanna talk about it to you. You know, you shouldn’t still be here. Chill. Okay. I went to the gym. I got cleaned up and now I’m on my way. Oh, okay. You gone home, you mean to my dad’s house? Well, I don’t know. That depends on if he’s changed his mind about trying to ruin my life. Lord who in the world could that be?

I forgot. I, uh, I ordered lunch room service. Huh? Oh, oh, that’s great. You know, why don’t you just take an ad out and a spectator saying shacking up with Ave vital. I was hungry. Okay. Don’t freak out.

Get your clothes on. You’re coming to me.

Seven you are alive. You’re you’re back. Really? You’re you’re back.

I’m your wife. You ed, my name. Don’t you remember me? Of course, of course. I remember. Then then you remember how much I love you. Well, I don’t love you. In fact, I can barely stand the sight of you.

Are you?

Dr. Rolf tells me you ordered him to awaken Stephan last night. Yes, that is right. He hadn’t finished programming. I had no choice. I am on my way to my daughter’s custody hearing. And Chloe Lane’s promised to take the stand and make me look like the worst mother who ever lived. And I need Stephan to distract her and come between her and Brady ASAP.

Well, I hear it. That’s not what happened. Wolf told him to go straight to Chloe. Where the hell did he go instead?

Do you. Actually I do

well. Kristen’s, lawyer’s not here either. I think it’s possible. She decided to call the whole thing off. She’ll be here. Yeah. What would she up to?

Where are Ms Damira and her attorney? Uh, we have no idea, your honor. I don’t tolerate tardiness in my courtroom. No, nor should you. Uh, Ms. Damira is the one who wanted to revisit custody and, uh, If she can’t bother to be here on time, she’s not really demonstrating her ability to care for a child 24 7. So I move to dismiss the case.

An apartment oven is not meant to crank out this many cookies. I cannot believe the bakery oven went down. Although I guess I kind of can, since it turned out 10,000 cookies for apes campaign, which is now cap put and little, did we know we’d be making 10,000 more for mom’s campaign? Yeah, I hope she hasn’t changed her mind about running.

Yeah, I hope so too. And I sure wish that she hadn’t forgotten to cancel the initial order, which is now all wrong. Yeah. Well, it’s family for you, right? Tend to take advantage of you. Yeah. Speaking of family, um, have you talked to your brother about what. Um, you know, the fact that he’s sleeping with trip’s mother,

I’m not going anywhere with you. You’d prefer to have this conversation here. I’d prefer just not to have it at all. You’re going to have to come home at some point. Harold said you left with enough clothes only for one day. I’ll be fine. Sharing a drip coffee maker in a 10 by 10 room with a woman. You barely.

don’t characterize a relationship. You don’t understand he’s notoriously untidy as I’m sure you’ve noticed. I’m just doing my best to take him off your house. Yeah. Well, who asked you to, excuse me? You said what you came to say and Johnny and I have plans this afternoon right here in this room, actually.

So unless you’d like to stay and watch. I suggest you get the hell outta my room. You hurt her.

I’m just caring for my son’s wellbeing.

We’ll make that mistake again.

You’re not just screwing with me. Stephan really went straight to Gabby. He went straight to the Damer crypt. Gabby just happened to be there after Jake’s Memorial service. Okay. So he didn’t go there looking for Gabby. I don’t think so. Considering he told her he never loved her and blamed her for wrecking his relationship with Chloe.

Okay. Great. Brainwashing work. We both got what we wanted. It would seem so why the hell did you scare me like that? Because you took a very dangerous chance and went behind my back to do it. Okay. You expect to be in the. You’re the one who pulled the plug on stuff in, he survived. Didn’t he? You sure you don’t know where he is?

The last time I saw him was yesterday, Gabby wanted to take him to the hospital and then he took off. I have no idea where he went. Okay. Well, you know, what, if someone saw dead stuff into barrel walking around, I’m sure we would’ve heard about it. One would think anyway, Gabby’s a mess. She didn’t sleep at all.

Last night. She took off at the break of Dawn for. Well, she claims that Stefan is the great love of her life. And you expect her to shrug off him coming back from the dead. You want Stephan to go after Chloe, you’d better hope Gabby does shrug it off. You know what? He still wants. Chloe. He’s going to go after her.

And it doesn’t matter what Gabby wants. And besides she’s your problem? I got my own battles to fight.

I’m not gonna say goodbye to you. Never again,

miss Damara is almost 20 minutes late. It doesn’t sound like Kristen to me, to me neither. I’ll give her the full 20 minutes. That’s about 60 seconds from now. If she doesn’t show up, I’ll grant your motion to dismiss. Uh, I am. I apologize for the delay, your honor. I was unavoidably detained. Where is your attorney?

I fired her. Have you come to ask for a continuance? No, I have decided to represent myself, your honor. are you kidding me? And I’d like to call my first witness Chloe lane.

This is not a trial used to matter. It’s family court. And this is my courtroom. I ask the questions and I make the determination on custody. Right. I know. Uh, But the forms that Brady and I filled out there was a section on spouses or partners of both parties. I know that. Well, I’m afraid that Brady’s lawyer advised him not to give you the full information about himself.

And Ms. Lang, is that what happened? But I said to say they were just dating. Can you explain what you mean? Delighted, your honor, what? Your honor. Oh, yes. Yes. I’m. It’s a lighted, your honor, I went to Chloe’s room last night. I wanted to straighten things out between us. Oh, here we go. And Brady answered the door in his boxer, shorts, he and Ms.

Laneer having a very serious relationship. They spend all day together working and then spend their off hours together as well. There’s no inherent problem in that. Yes, there is your. Our daughter hates Chloe. Okay. Objection. This is pure speculation, Ms. Lane, isn’t married to Mr. Black and she’s not Rachel’s caregiver.

She has no role in these proceedings other than to provide my client with moral support. I’ll decide what her role is.

Do you have anything more to say? Yes. What worries me is that you don’t know Chloe, the way I. And I think it’s very important that you know the truth about her Ms. Lane, please come forward. Yes, your honor. I’m gonna allow Ms. Damer to ask you a few questions.

Oh my God, please be seated.

Ms. Lane. I’d like to ask, how do I say this in legal ways? Why are you trying to steal my daughter from.

I don’t know if Johnny and Ava are sleeping together and neither do you all. We saw them the other night walking into the end together. What do you think they were doing up in that room? Macrame. Okay. There is a power struggle going on at Damara, so I’m sure Johnny’s house is a zoo. Maybe he and Ava just couldn’t take it anymore.

Right? Also, if I’ve learned anything from these past few months, it is that I need to stop judging my brother’s decisions and start respecting them. It’s his life. So you’re gonna respect the fact that Johnny is moving in with trip’s mother. Okay. It’s weird. Yeah. It’s weird. I’ll give you that. I admit that, but.

I don’t know, trip and I are broken up. So, so it doesn’t bother you. No, but God, it seems like it bothers you.

Oh, great. My lunch game. Do you want to split my sandwich with me? No, Johnny, I want you to leave. Oh, I thought maybe. Changed her mind about us. Okay. Well, you thought wrong because I was very clear with you. Right. That I’m grateful for your support and your friendship, but , we are not gonna sleep together ever.

You just told my dad, we were gonna spend the afternoon together in bed to drive him crazy. And he deserved it because he has made my life miserable. Since Jake died.

Your role in the company does not give you the right to enter my home without permission. I’m looking for my husband. Oh, don’t tell me, you and me have made it illegal already. We have, and I’m looking for Stephan, your brother. Why don’t you go to the Crip? I did. That’s where I found out that he’s alive.

Gabby.

Stephan, what are you doing here? You know,

when Dr. Ralph and Christian woke me up,

I wanted to get the hell out of there as soon as I. I didn’t know what the hell to do with myself. Finally, I decided to revisit my old life house, my grave, as you know, where did you go when you left? What did you do? Just wandered man.

I don’t know, seeing Gabby made me realize maybe I wasn’t ready to revisit my old life. Understandable.

So I was dead four years, technically. Yes. Wow.

So much has changed. Hm. And yet, so much has stayed the same. Did you come here to see Gabby God, no small office, right.

I wanted to be somewhere when I felt control. So sat down at this desk. And as soon as I did, he walked through the door. So you didn’t see Gabby here this morning? No, I’m sure she’ll be here soon. Unless you get going, you really don’t want to see her.

Look, leave.

If you’re worried about me coming in between you and Gabby, you don’t need to be

quite frankly the thought of her turns my stomach.

I stayed in the der after Jake’s service. Cause I, I wanted to. To look at Stephan’s plaque and say goodbye, big life for that. Isn’t it not in my head. He’s been living there rent free since he died. And I, I just felt like that was getting in the way and I wanted to let him go. So I said my goodbyes and I turned it around and there he was.

Staring at me in the face. Oh great. Now I have two crazy women on my hands. It’s bad enough having to deal with Ava insisting. She’d seen dead. Jake. Now you’re seeing dead. Stephan is this lunacy contagious? Not lunacy. Okay. I saw Stephan. And so didly Lee saw him too. You’re sure. Ye yes. I’m sure. Okay. I’m not.

And neither is Ava. She wasn’t hallucinating her dead husband. She was just seeing mine in the flesh.

Look, I told you, I’d go back to my house when my dad stopped trying to run my life. But you saw, I was just now he’s never gonna stop and I’m never gonna go crawling back. Okay. Well, you have a trust fund. Can’t you get your own place yeah. Paying for, with daddy’s money. Doesn’t exactly. Make a statement.

And what kind of a statement does it make for you staying here in our room that I’m paying for? Hmm. I mean, with you sleeping on the floor. Oh, my dad wouldn’t know that. At least the, the sleeping on the floor park. Okay. you argued with your dad over you working at Damara and then he backed off. Right? So now what, you’re picking a fight with him over me.

I didn’t pick a fight. Okay. I told him if he kicked you out, then I was leaving too. The way he’s acted towards you towards me. Why the hell would I want to go back to that? Uh, mausoleum as you called it. I would much rather just stay here with you even sleeping on the floor.

It, it doesn’t bother me if Johnny and Ava are together. I, I just think it’s gross. That’s all. I mean, Ava’s got a son who’s older than Johnny. Okay. So if Johnny was with somebody his own age, you would be totally fine with that. Uh, yeah. Yeah. It’s just the Ava thing. You almost pulled that off Dupree, but not quite.

I know you too. Well. What are you talking about when you chose me over Johnny? You said you were sure about your decision. I was, I said, why are you sitting here obsessing over who Johnny’s obsessed with? I’m not obsessing. I do not. Yeah, if you say so

I am not trying to steal your daughter. I have a son that I love dearly and his love is more than enough for me. Well, it wouldn’t be the first time that you stole another woman’s child to give your son a little sister. Oh, your honor. This is ridiculous. I’ll decide that when I hear Ms. Lane’s answer. I have never stolen a child for any reason.

Didn’t you give birth to Nicole Walker’s daughter? I did. I was a surrogate. A self-appointed one. No, that is not true. Nicole asked me to be her surrogate, but you became pregnant and didn’t tell Nicole, she didn’t know that the baby you were carrying was hers and her late husband. That’s because I was afraid I was going to miss Carrie and I didn’t want her to be disappointed.

Ah, well, she must have been very disappointed when you backed out of your agreement to give her custody of that little baby girl. I did what was best for that baby at that time. Okay, your honor. This has absolutely nothing to do with who deserves custody of Rachel Black, any response Ms. Dara, Ms. Lane went to extreme links to hold onto another woman’s child.

Your honor. What do you have to say to this? Ms. Lang Nicole was with a terrible violent man at the time. Oh, oh. Oh. So you didn’t approve of her choice of a partner. I mean, did you come here into family court? No. No, no. You played judge all by yourself, your honor. Can I ask Ms. Lane a question? Go ahead. What is your relationship to Nicole and her daughter now, Nicole and I.

Best friends. In fact, when she has to be away, she asks me to take care of Holly. Thank you for your testimony, Ms. Lane, you’re excused.

We’ll take a 10 minute recess.

I am so sorry. Kristin played that judge like a poker hand from a stacked deck.

Give it to me straight. How bad is it? Well, it’s not over yet, but it’s worse than I expected.

Why are you trying to make me feel guilty? I didn’t do that to you. When you were deciding between me and trip, are you acting this way? Because Johnny has somebody new and he’s not panting all over you anymore. No, I’m just worried that, that he might be sleeping with a woman twice his age from a mob family.

The last guy she was with commissioner Hernandez. Mama said that he cheated on her. And when he did, she tried to have him sent to prison. She’s not going to do something like that to John. And how do you know that? Huh? He’s your twin brother. Don’t you care? What happens to him?

Ava? I know I came on pretty strong hoping that you and I could be more than friends, but. I respect the fact that that is not what you want. So I am totally fine. Just hanging out with you here, watching TV, ordering room service. Okay. Johnny, you really are such a sweet guy and I’m so sorry that you don’t get along with your dad, but it doesn’t mean you belong here with me.

I mean, in this room, it’s just, it’s not the answer, you know, nothing. What is, and I can’t go home. You saw that. So, where do I go?

How can Stephan possibly be alive? He got Ralph, like you did wait a minute, babe. Are you sure it was Stephan you saw and not Jake? Yeah. I saw the scar on his chest where his heart used to be. And who’s hard. Did gro get in? I don’t know. I don’t know, but I have a lot of questions for Ralph when I track him down.

All I know is that he had Stephan all nice for four years and he just decided all on his own to bring him back. No, I think that your sister, Kristen had something to do with that decision. Why? I, I don’t know, but when I saw Stephan, I noticed he was wearing one of Jake’s suits and he told me that Kristen gave him that Claudia’s my sister up to now.

So, what are we in for at the end of this recess? I have no idea, but I definitely see why Kristen fired her lawyer. She wants to run this show and she is so the, uh, the rule of law thing of the past, is that the way you’re gonna play it today? Did I bring up anything that wasn’t true? No, I did not.

I know I keep going back and forth about testifying against her, but now, now I really want to do it. Well, that won’t be easy, especially when you can’t mention anything from Kristen’s past. And you’ve been working with her. Which could be interpreted as condoning all of her past bad behavior. Ugh. Well, she hasn’t been pardoned of trying to stab me with a letter opener.

Okay. Well, she’s just gonna spin that. She’s gonna accuse you of going her into it. So Kristen just gets to do whatever she wants to do, basically. I would’ve to hand my daughter over to somebody that, that just shoots people up with drugs and kid them. All right. Really? Brady, just calm down. We’ll get our turn, Chloe.

I, I really think that the best thing you can do right now is not engage. In fact, I think you should.

Don’t accuse me of not caring about my brother. The thing is that Ava is Henry’s grandma and she adores him. So I need to be careful before I go stir things up with her. Even if she could mess up Johnny’s life, the way she did the commissioner. If Johnny wants to talk to me about Ava, he knows where I am.

Oh. But other than that, you don’t give a damn, where are you going? I’m gonna go take these cookies to my mother alone. Yeah. She not alone.

Johnny it’s, it’s not up to me to tell you where to go or where to live. I just, I just know it can’t be here, but me and even though I told you you’ve been a great comfort to me and not to mention you are. You’re funny. You’re smart. You are a great guy. Well, I think you’re pretty great too. So why am I gonna see you again?

I dunno, probably not for a while. That’s what you want.

See him.

I have no idea what Kristen is up to, and I have no idea where Stephanie is.

How did he take the news of your engage? Uh, no, I’m not talking about my personal life with you. Am I right? Concluding that. Seeing Stefan wasn’t the joyous reunion you’d hoped for. Don’t go to hell EJ.

They’ll say shouldn’t be surprised that Gabby ended up with the chairman of the board and in turn with my old job,

should be interesting to see what happens next.

What’s wrong.

Just realized. I,

I have no idea where to go. you mentioned something about Chloe lane yesterday. So Gabby came between the two of you. That’s right. I was on my way to see her when I got sidetracked. She’s um, at the Salem Inn now that’s right. That’s right

now. I know exactly where to find her.

Wait, you want me to leave? Because Kristen went after. Isn’t that caving. So you asked for my professional opinion and I gave it, Kristen is making all of this about you. And I think getting out of her line of fire is the best idea.

And Chloe, you know, that if you testify against Kristen, she’s gonna make you out to be the bad guy in Rachel’s eyes. Right? Well, I would do anything to help you get full custody. So if. Friends me leaving then. So be it. Okay. Good luck

leaving so soon. Well, what’s there to stick around for, we all know how this is gonna turn out. You are going to lose badly.

I’m just getting started.

Troy actually. Hey, how’s Henry doing? He’s great. Yeah, we should set up a time for me to see him. Yeah, sure. Um, do you have a minute? Yeah. Why I’d like to talk to you? It’s about Johnny.

Why would you wanna talk to me about Johnny? Because I wanna know what the deal is between you two and you should talk to him, but you’re the only person who can tell me what I wanna. Which is what exactly are your intentions with my brother?

Ally? I’m sorry. I came back because I didn’t wanna leave things. All ally, are you here?

Where is she?

My intentions. Yeah. You know, what do you want from Johnny? Wow. You know, I would’ve expected a question like that from your mother, but not so much from you. Mm. Believe me, my mother would shoot first and ask questions later. So what is this? Huh? Some sort of test that if I fail, you’re gonna Sammy on me.

now I’m not gonna tell her anything. So what is this, Sally? It’s just, my brother is very vulnerable right now. He acts cool. He acts like he’s over Chanel, but he was devastated when he lost her to you, uh, after you dumped my son trip. Yeah. Okay. I, I told you that I was sorry for the pain that I put trip through and I thought you and I agreed to be civil.

Okay. For Henry’s sake. Right. Okay. Back to Johnny. Mm. Look, even though our relationship right now is strained. I know that a lot of the pain Johnny has gone through has been caused by me. And I just wanna make sure that he does not get hurt again. Why would you think that I would hurt your brother?

Well, father there’s been yet another strange turn of events. It seems a widow Damira is no longer widowed. Dr. Wolf has returned Stephen to us. Which means that Gabby shares D nearest stock now belongs to him. In fact, they could be the key to prying her little fingers of the CEO’s office once. And for all, I might not be able to do anything about Ava Tali right now, but if I can get rid of Gabby.

It might not matter

how you doing here, looking for you, where have you been? Uh, I was getting worried about you. I, uh, I couldn’t concentrate when I got here this morning. So I went in a long walk. I still can’t believe that Stephan’s alive, who. Such a shock. Yeah. Poor. She thinks she sees Jake. She thinks she’s hallucinating.

And I mean, someone’s gotta set her straight. Although, although what I, I just realized Ava thought she saw him twice, but she passed out the first time. And by the time I got to the door, you were standing there. So if it was Stephan, how could you not have seen him?

I’ll be right there.

The hearing is back in session, please be seated. Your honor, all of Ms. Ramirez’s complaints seem to revolve around Chloe lane. She hasn’t said anything about my client’s character or his fitness as a father, because there’s nothing to say. Rachel Black is a happy, healthy child in Mr. Black’s loving care.

I really see no reason to change the current custody arrange. Your honor, I’m not finished making a case from a custody. God, what? Now you have something else to say. Yes. I would like to ask Brady, um, excuse me, Mr. Black, a few questions. If you would allow it. Mr. Black. You’re up?

What is the matter with this judge? Why is she treating Kristen like a normal person? Doesn’t she read the spectator? Has she been living in a tree? Okay. Just answer the questions, honestly, like we rehearsed, well, we rehearsed for a lawyer, not for her. She’s going to. Don’t rise to the bait,

Mr. Black. Can you explain to me why you think it’s appropriate that our daughter be raised by a murder?

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

What is all this? This is the first day of married life. You don’t think it’s a little over the top. If anything, this is restrained. After all the time we’ve waited after all the false starts, we are finally irrevocably married. I think that’s cause of celebration. Don’t you? And you know what? This is just the beginning,

Nicole. I, what a surprise. Uh, I need to talk to you about something. Can I come in?

This must be it.

I hear the women you love are under the weather.

I’m sure you figured out by now that I’m behind what’s happening to your precious women, sweetness, stock sneezy. I’m sorry. I meant Kate and I, I don’t want keep you in suspense any longer about what’s in store for them. Wait, does that sound ominous? It does. Doesn’t it. I’m guessing that by now you, uh, you’re getting rather sick of me, but the ladies they’re

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

I get CROs all over the bed. You know, sometimes I worry that you are just too romantic here I am, or head over heels and love bride groom. And you’re like, you gonna get crimes in the bed. I’m just saying I don’t want there to be like irritating crus in the bed. Should we choose to stay here? All. Oh, mm-hmm so you’re as serious.

That’s even better than

I’m also just very, very, very happy me too. And I meant can’t believe we really are married.

We’re finally at the happily ever after part of our story, I. What you mean yesterday? I woke up and I was just hit with this sense of dread. Like, is there gonna be a tsunami? Is Kristen gonna show up in another mask? Like, what is it gonna be that ruins the wedding this time? So then when Gwen showed up, but she didn’t change anything, you were still married.

Mm-hmm anyhow. I was just scared. Sarah Gwen is in the past. There’s nothing else she can do to us. Yeah. Just, I don’t know. I, I didn’t know who else was gonna drop in while I was gone. There was Gwen and Chanel. I mean, you had a fiance and a wife are quite busy. Just, I don’t know who else claimed your heart while I was otherwise engaged.

I’ve hit a nerve. No, I was thinking about something totally unrelated with coffee. Xander, you better tell me, or I’m gonna assume the worst. There was someone else wasn’t there. Yeah, but it was just a one nice time.

Let me guess you had another dream about me. No.

If you don’t tell me what happened in the stream. I’m, I’m just going to imagine something worse. I dreamt that, um,

I call you in bed with Eric.

No, I didn’t have another dream about you, but I do need to speak with you and I’d rather not do it out here in the hallway.

Okay. Come on in actually

better yet. Why don’t. I get dressed. I don’t meet you downstairs.

Yeah. Okay. I probably should have called first. I just need a few minutes. Okay.

Nicole said that she offered Eric a job, a basic black. He didn’t say anything to you about it? No, he, he didn’t. Huh?

I have to say, I, I really regret having to resort to this, um, one way video communication, because more than anything right now, I would sort like to see the looks on your faces, but what are you gonna do? You can’t have everything, right? So I’ll just have to rely on my imagination.

I have to think that right about now, Mr. Johnson has draped a protective arm around sweetness and in my mind’s eye, I can see my old friend John’s patented scowl.

And Roman well, Roman looks about how Roman always looks a little bit bilious, but I digress. The reason for this video among others is to reassure you that what I’ve infected the ladies with is not Contag. No, you men will remain perfectly healthy to watch the women die.

What am I saying? you’re not gonna willingly watch the women die. No, no, no. You’re men of action and you take great pride in that. No, but this is a medical deal. So what are you gonna do? You gonna strap on the old armor? Hoist your lances, Mount your steeds and charge into the fray. Mm fair ladies. It seems I’ve effectively sidelined your nights and their heroics in this final instance.

Isn’t worth know that word. My son likes to use. And so just. Squat. It ain’t worth squat. Now I know you don’t want to keep listening to this. I know you want to throw your phones against the wall, but you can’t risk it. Can you, I have to assume by now that you’ve realized the whole kidnapping and. Puzzle solving bomb thing was an elaborate ruse, uh, kind of misdirection to cover up the real reason I needed your, your women, isolated, unconscious.

I’m afraid. I was a little less than candid. I apologize, but I did leave you clues along the way. I always have. And you’re hoping I still will. In fact, right now you’re hanging on every syllable. I utter hoping that discern a hidden message, because it would be unbearable for you to think that I’m making you listen to all of this, simply because I enjoy torturing.

It meant nothing. It was, it was just sex. Oh wow. Whatever girl wants to hear on her honeymoon, Sarah, who was it? Does it matter? Tell me who it was and I’ll tell you if it matters, sir, you have to understand. I, I thought you’d left me. I underst. But you need to understand that when we agreed to get married, I thought I knew everything about what happened when we were apart.

And I thought I had had time to hate this word process. It, you have to trust me. I need to know who it was.

So when did Nicole offer Eric this job? The other day? So when she went over to Eric, But then she saw you there. Well, just this morning, Eric was telling me that he doesn’t even sorry. Ah, I have to take this. Yeah. Sorry. Hernandez. Yeah.

But didn’t you tell me that your brother owns a fashion company? Yeah, he co-owns it with. All roads lead to Nicole. I’m sorry. Yeah, no, I’m sorry. That was, that was a dumb thing to no, no, it’s okay. I understand. You know, but actually, you know what, actually, there is something that kind of crosses my mind.

Yeah. Yeah. I could talk to Jack dev. I mean, I, maybe there’s some work. I can do it for the SPECT. They’d be lucky to have you, if he had an offer, he would’ve said something.

So, Nicole, why are you lying to your husband?

Hey Chloe, listen. Um, I’m gonna be late coming into the office because I need to talk to Eric. No. I decided to speak with him in person because the delightful Jada told RA about the last time I popped in to see Eric and now I have to do damage control because rave had a nightmare about Eric and me, man.

She really must have spun things to make Rafe, have a dream like that. And I’m like, I, I need to talk to Eric and get him to back me up. Why, but, well, because when RA was so upset and he asked me why I went to see Eric, oh, I, I told him I went to offer him a job. Yeah, I know. I know. That’s why I’m here to make that lie.

The truth, Nicole.

Uh, Chloe. Um, I gotta go. Okay, bye. Hey, have you had any coffee yet? Uh, yeah. What did you mean about making that lie? The truth. Oh, Eric, this, this, this is awful. Uh, Kristen is trying to break up Brady and. When she even went to Gabby and got her to put her in charge at basic black, and now she’s making all these negative job reports and trying to get Chloe fired.

And I told her that I am not gonna let that happen. All right. So why would you wanna make these lies to the truth? What you wanna expose Kristen? Well, co knows what I mean. And that’s all that matters. Anyway. I I’m, I’m running a little behind, so I wanna tell you why I stopped by this morning. Okay. So I think I mentioned this the other day that we’re looking for a photographer at basic black.

No, you didn’t. Well, we are. So what do you think about coming to work for us? I, I, you know, honestly, I can’t even believe you’re saying this. Why, why wouldn’t I great photographer and we want the best. Yeah. Well, I was just telling Jay, I was thinking about maybe going back to my photography, you know, even, maybe at the spectator.

Well, there you go. Great minds and all that, right? I mean, we’re both thinking the same thing and the same day and Jeremy about each other at the same time,

Eric. I, I can’t stop thinking about you. You’re very woman, Nicole, what about.

Nicole Walker, you slept with Nicole Walker. I’m not sure they heard you down at the front desk, but she hates. and for my understanding for good reason, Sarah, it wasn’t about loving and hating. It was just about need. And Nicole and I bumped into each other when we were pretty much at rock bottom. Oh. And then you continued to bump into each other all night.

I had to explain, I thought I’d lost you forever. And Nicole. Well, we were both very drunk and oh, Nicole was just so I don’t know, lost and alone. So this was after she and Eric broke up? Uh, no. So she was married when you bumped into her, married to a man. She hadn’t seen almost a year, a man who had canceled like three or four trips home because he’s so wonderful and saintly that you couldn’t be bothered to spend time with his wife.

I, so he felt sorry for her. I was so sorry. As I felt for myself. So did Eric find out, is that why he asked her for a divorce? No, they had, uh, other issues. So he doesn’t know. No, he knows. How did he find out?

Does it really matter? I mean, they’ve moved on. They got divorced. I mean, Nicole’s married to Rafe now. If Eric was in Africa, did she tell him? And that’s why they got divorced? Like, why wouldn’t she just ask for a divorce and then let it go.

There’s more to it. Isn’t there.

Nicole. Didn’t tell Eric. I did.

Oh, was Sean new news about Leo? No, nothing yet. Uh, anyway, listen, you were telling me about, uh, Eric and, uh, job at basic black. Yeah. Uh, you know, I was thinking. I had a late night last night. And I think I just got things a little mixed up. Eric did mention a photography job, but he didn’t mention that Nicole offered one.

Um, I mean, you know, Eric, he plays things close to the best busy Fernandez.

Okay. What the hell?

Oh, apparently the lab has a backlog and can’t get us the results of the warehouse that Orpheus used until tomorrow. So I’m gonna go pay them a visit to if I can convince them to change their minds.

Think of it, the explosive device you diffused could have offered a much quicker death, much like the one my Rebecca experienced when Roman put a bullet in her heart and broke mine. Yeah. You could have spared them a prolonged agony by not saving them. Irony of ironies. But I understand you couldn’t help yourselves.

You see yourselves as heroes and you have to play the part. Yeah. Now you’re gonna get a chance to do it one more time, because you’re gonna have to use everything in your power to find out what exactly the women have contracted. And good luck with that. I’m sorry. Was that in poor taste? Yeah, no, it was my apologies for my bedside manner.

We can’t all be, uh, Dr. Johnson or a Dr. Evans for that matter. I will say this and I’ll give it to you straight, no matter what you do. The prognosis is certain death.

You think that it all began with a simple little sneeze? It’s a lot to absorb. Isn’t it? Have you all fainted dead away. So the symptoms are just the beginning and know this. They will grow in severity. And become increasingly more painful.

I do wish I could stick around and see you all suffer, but I guess I’ll just have to bequeath that pleasure to Roman, Steve and John. You three will stand helplessly by and watch the woman you love. Leave you.

Then you’ll finally know what I felt when you took my Rebecca ladies. See you all in hell and gentlemen. I’m afraid that I, uh, I won’t make it back for the funerals. So allow me to be the first to say to each of you, I’m sorry for your loss.

You told Eric as if that was something that needed to be shared as if it was your call. Did you even tell Nicole that you were going to, oh, it’s so much worse than you could even imagine. It’s worse.

I crashed our anniversary party and told the whole crowd that is so much worse than I ever could have imagined you set out to publicly humiliate them. Did you feel like a big man bragging about your conquest to a crowd? That’s not why I did it. And for starters, their marriage. Brightness. I mean, she was miserable and he was an arrogant and absent jerk.

I don’t think that you’re in any position to judge Eric. And as what, like he, he had it coming Xander, you cannot justify what you did. It was cruel. No, it was business. Sammy Brady paid me to do it. She gave me a million dollars. She made me an offer. I couldn’t refuse Sarah. Oh, you could have refused it.

You should have you dunno what it was like losing you. Nothing meant anything anymore. No, don’t you do that? Don’t you dare put this back on me. I am not your conscience. I’m your wife. Oh, my God. I’m your wife. Well, you say that like as if the cosmic rug has been pulled out from underneath me, Sandra, it’s not just that you did it.

It’s that you, you think it’s okay. No, I, I don’t but you keep making excuses for it. My God. I’m now married to a man who destroyed someone else’s marriage for money. No, God I’ve heard enough more than enough.

Well, What do you say, oh, come on, Eric. You can’t stay here forever working for your dad. Slinging Ash. No, we’re making sloppy. Joe’s don’t even remember you told me you had a dream about, I mean, making sloppy. Oh Joe’s and yeah, right? Yes. . Yeah. And how it, the pressure cooker exploded. The buildup Uhhuh. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Look, I’m sure Freud could explain more about my dream, but right now I wanna know how you’re feeling about the job. Look, I, I know it’s been a while since you shot high fashion, but I I’m sure you’ll pick it up in a heartbeat. It’s not what I’m worried about. What are you worried about? I’m wondering how reef’s gonna feel about us working together.

So we finally get the forensics report. It turns out to be a whole lot of nothing. Wait a second, you found something page three, line three, four.

Let’s see. Black ink used on the rope used to tie up the women. Yeah, Iny a very specific type of ink, industrial printing.

Are there any places around here that would use that kind of being only a couple dozen. Well, at least it’s a start. Maybe it’ll lead to where Ory is hiding.

So I see he sent you the same video. Yeah. So what do we do? What’s the.

Come on Sarah. Can you at least talk to me?

I can see now I should have told you before you should have told me that you broke up a marriage for money. I know it was terrible, but just let me. No after everything that Kristen and Gwen did to us to keep us apart after all the pain that they caused us, you’re gonna stand there and defend what you did.

I know I shouldn’t have told him, no, you shouldn’t have told Eric, you shouldn’t have humiliated him. And I shouldn’t have married. You.

There’s too many of them, by the time we check them all out, Orpheus could be long gone Orpheus. Doesn’t like to do anything randomly. He likes to drop clues. Nice. My little harp, maybe there’s a place that like prints sheet music or what was his wife’s name in the myth? ESY. No such luck. Oh really? This, mm.

Rebecca printing and graphics. Yep. Out highway nine. Orpheus’s late. Wife’s name was Rebecca. Let’s go. Oh,

oh, RA. And I talked about it. And he’s okay with it. why wouldn’t he be because you and I used to be married. Yes. But he knows we’re just friends now. He’s fine with it. He’s fine, Eric. I, oh, I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to interrupt. I was just, I wanted to talk to Eric. It’s okay. We’re all. We’re almost done.

No, um, actually I’m, I’m glad that you’re here too, sir. Are you okay? You’re shaking you. I, um, thank you. I’m just I’m upset, but I, not that you have to worry about it. I just, I need to apologize to you to, to us. Why? Um, I just found out from my, um, my husband. My husband. Oh my God. You married Sandra. Yes, yesterday.

Um, but then this morning he told me that what he did at your anniversary party and, oh my gosh, you don’t have to say we remember. I just, I feel so awful about it. I do I I’m so sorry. I just, if it weren’t for him, you two would still be together.

Sarah. I mean, it is no secret that I hate Xander’s guts and I will never forgive him for what he did at the party. And as much, as much as I wanna blame him for what happened between Eric and me, I, I can’t, he didn’t break us up, but he was just a messenger and he wasn’t lying. I did sleep with Sandra. I broke our marriage vow and that’s on me.

I exclusively I’d have played, played a big part in that,

but you didn’t cheat on me. Yeah. But I spent almost every day, my first year of our marriage, 8,000 miles away, you know, when I thought I was, when I thought I was doing good checking in on my wife, like she was my baggage, checking in, checking out, claiming her whenever I wanted. I’m sorry. I finally saw Ken, you know?

Yeah. I was pretty eloquent that night. Maybe we should had this conversation earlier,

maybe.

So you see Sarah, our, our problems were, were our problems. Xander was. A symptom and hopefully we’ve learned from our mistakes. Yeah. Hopefully

you okay. I know how much you hate needles. You’re asking me if I’m okay. Sweetness. Yeah, I think you, I, I, I think, I think we all need to just, we just need to act like we’re we’re on the job. We’re on the job. And then, and, and we’re gonna find out what this is and we’re gonna treat it. And, and in my head, I’m just gonna be in the ER, I’m just working in the ER and I’m just, I’m just keeping my head together.

And this is just like an ISA case. You know, we were gonna work from the premise that Orpheus light, that there is a cure and we’re gonna find it and all of our feelings. We’re just gonna put those aside. We’re gonna deal with them later. I think she’s right. Just being bizarre. Fors has said that he’s won doesn’t mean that he has won, but what he has done is underestimate us.

They forgot the rings. You’re the one who has to tell the boss last time they screwed up and ordered. He almost. Freeze Trump. It Trump. It,

my love we’ve been looking for you. Do you really want me to shoot you?

Couldn’t even make it past day one without screwing it up. Could you. Oh, Sarah, thank God you came back. I just spoke to Eric and Nicole and apologized for you. You did. Oh God. I thought you were leaving thing. I am. I just came here to pack. Look, I dunno what they told you, but she was just letting me explain anything that you say is just gonna make it worse.

It’s over Vanner, nothing you say or do can change.

Well, uh, that was out of the blue. Did she actually marry him? That’s what she said. I believe things aren’t working out for them. I mean, being the standup kind of guy that he is, well, they say the first day is the hardest. just poor. Sarah. She’s already been thrown off. Yeah. People are better off just not getting married in Salem.

I said, what we did wrong. I’m sorry. You don’t have to answer that. You know what I should go, but, um, just think about the job offer. Get back to me. You know what? I don’t have to think about it. Oh, well, good luck then. Oh, cool.

I’ll take it. You have.

Hi, low harp. You were under arrest for the kidnapping attempted murder of Marlena Evans, attempted murder commissioner. You say that as though I failed to do what I set out to do,

but you’ll soon discover how very wrong you are.

This is my fault. I brought this on. No, don’t say. Please don’t say that you saved me from or obvious ones before. And I know you’re going to save me from me again.

Okay. Well, call me as soon as you have the results. Alright, thanks. I just sent that maniac video to the ISA and RA, well, you need to tell them they have to find RO I. I think I, whoa, whoa, whoa. Oh, sorry. Sorry. Listen, we need to give this case to somebody else and go light. No, like they said, I will rest when I’m dead.

Are you okay? Well, I feel so tired. That’s not good. That’s that’s a good thing. So why don’t you just. Just try to get some sleep. Okay. And I promise you that, uh, right.

Oh, come on God, please. Help her.

Okay. Call in the second. You get this. I mean, it I’m right here. The second I give this what happened? Did the hash knock brown dam me? How do you think I felt when I woke up and you weren’t there? I’m sure you felt scared for me. I’m I’m sorry. I’m fine. I’m fine. I should have thought. Yeah, you should have Ory is out there somewhere.

Okay. Well, I just ran. To get this happy birthday again.

Oh my God. Eric, what, what have we done so beautiful in the morning when you wake. How do you manage that? How did this happen? No, it’s more like, why did it take so long? Because it was pretty much inevitable. Oh my gosh, this is awful. No, this is wonderful. This is everything we both wanted. Hi, Eric, what, what are we gonna tell Rafe?

You didn’t go home last night. He’s probably wondering where you’ve been. I told him I was gone on a business trip. Well, God, I don’t wanna hurt him. Do I? Maybe it’s for the best? No, this is, this has got to be our secret. Maybe can never, ever find out. I’m afraid. It’s a little too late for that.

Like sand through the hour. So are the days.

Now I’d find you here. How, how I’m a cop. You don’t think, I know when people are lying to me, especially my own damn wife business trip. Really know exactly what kind of business you were up to. Dammit. Nicole, we’re married. We’re married. How could you have betrayed me? Like.

Good looking, Eric. You remember it? of worries. Listen, I didn’t really plan on sleeping with you again last night. You mean I wasn’t on your to-do list? No, I mean, I figured he’s saying happy birthday to your dad. And then I would politely say the night get upstairs to my bed. Yeah. And got into a really intense guard game, less of for hours.

And we ended up here. Yeah. It’s pretty intense

sometimes bothering you. What is it? It’s just that I broke one of my hard, fast. And what would that be? I promise myself that I wouldn’t sleep with somebody until at least a third date. And technically we’ve only been on two, but then we already have slept together. So I guess I might as well throw that rule out the window, but it’s just that funny.

You’re a priest or we were a priest and I, I can’t help but wonder. Even in the back of your mind, if you’re before, if, if maybe you, you think less of me because we’ve gone to bed together and we just met.

You what I kept saying, I didn’t wanna make my birthday a big deal. Now this celebration is going on the what? Third day, just like the Newport jazz festival. Right? Go open it.

you see, I realize that you never had a cake on your actual birthday. So yes, I was very careless to you getting kidnapped instead of. Pick it on my cake. I know within the second cake, I sneezed all over it. So anyway, the third one that’s the charm. Okay, well what could go wrong? Okay. Nothing here. I got the candle lit.

There you go. So now think Aish.

Okay. All right. I, I have to wish. Okay. I’ll wish that the next time you leave me alone in bed, you leave me note or something. So I don’t get worried sick about you. Oh,

oh, I’m so sorry. I can’t believe I did that again. What is wrong with me?

Well, don’t touch ’em. They could be poison. But they’re not well at the very least, or if it could be messing with our minds again, sweetness, you know, I better call, I better call Ray and, and tell him what your husband sent your flowers. Those are from you. Yes. Sorry, baby. I didn’t mean to scare you. I mean, didn’t you read the card?

No, I didn’t read the card cuz I was, I was too scared to look at it. I’m sorry, sweetness. I just wanted you to have your yellow roses, right? This is our thing. I wasn’t gonna let Orpheus take that away from us.

They’re beautiful. Thank you. And they smell.

Well, this is weird. And yesterday you sneeze because there was too much black pepper on your steak. And now the roses they’re coming down with a cold. Are you? I don’t have any other symptoms. Well, I’ve given you roses so many times and I’ve never seen you sneeze. Oh, come on. People sneeze all the time.

It’s nothing. so you’re not contagious. Oh, oh, I see what this is all about. You’re not concerned about my health. This is a self protection thing. No. Oh no. I just wanna make sure that it’s okay to do this. Oh,

well it’s more than okay. Except for, I need to get to work and late. Okay. Do me a favor. Uh, I don’t need you to drive me. I. Would please just call me as soon as you get there. So I don’t spend the morning worrying about you. I can do that. Oh God. Let them find orf you soon. I hate living like this.

I’m so sorry. Well, you know what? Just cupcake, but I am worried about you. You sure you feel all right. Well, yeah, I mean, I keep on telling myself I’m fine. I think maybe it’s allergies or something, but the, honestly the denials aren’t really working because I just, I feel, I, I, I can’t even describe it really.

He feel a little warm. Yeah. Maybe that means I just have a cold coming on you now. Well, you don’t know that let’s get you seen by a doctor. Oh, Roman. I’m not gonna go to the doctor because I’m squeezing and you feel warm. I think you have a fever. Okay. Cause I don’t really have the energy to fight that.

And besides I wanna find out if I’m contagious because we weren’t exactly social distancing last night. Well, don’t worry about me. I feel fine. And if I did get it, believe me last. Definitely was let’s go. Um, I’m driving myself. Thank you. No, no. Yes I am. You’re not gonna be cooped up in the car with me and we don’t know what I have and no kiss goodbye either is a cold is three days coming, three days with you and three days going.

Come on doc, you know? I deal in facts. Things are not back to normal because Orpheus is still out there. I know that, but I won’t let him control our lives. And if things aren’t normal, I’m going to pretend they’re normal and you can pretend all you want. You just need to be careful. I will, John. He kidnapped three women.

And the FBI, the police are all looking for his faces plastered all over time. It doesn’t guarantee anything. Do we have to talk about it? Can I just not think about it please? For just one day

I’m um, I’m going to work. Oh, I’m gonna go to work because that’s what I do. That’s what is normal for me? And I want normal. Do you really have to go? I do John. I must have a, a to of work piling up on my desk. Look, look, let’s, let’s talk about it. Okay. Well, I have a little discussion here. See it it’s a beautiful fall day.

I was thinking maybe we could go down to the Inn on the lake and have a quiet little lunch, and I guarantee you, when you come back here, that paperwork will still be here. It sounds wonderful. Sounds like. Letting Orias run everything now. Oh, isn’t he, you know, I’m still kicking myself when Steve and I went after Stephanie thinking ORPS was following her.

And what was she doing? She was having a meeting with Paul, but there were distracted by who John, John stop it. You couldn’t have known what was happening. You can’t blame yourself for this. You can’t do it. And I’ve gotta stop feeling afraid and you’ve gotta stop feeling. We have to let the police handle this for us.

You need to be careful. I will be careful. Look it. The hospital has so many security measures in place. They’re on the alert. They know what our F looks like, and I couldn’t be any safer than I am right there at.

You know, I really hate you when you start making all these good points. I know. I would think you’d be used to it. You at least let me drive you there and drop you off. Okay? Okay. Cause if you don’t, I know you’ll just follow me anyway. That’s a fact mm-hmm

I wanna stay I’m. Get a shower. I, you make the coffee.

If you felt like I’ve judged you. I’m sorry. No, no, no. It’s it’s, it’s not you. It’s just that I really wanted this to happen, but maybe, maybe you didn. and I don’t know you very well. And, and I was a priest. I’ve never knew a priest before. Let alone. I’m not a priest anymore.

I still live by judge. Not unless he be judged. I wanted this to happen to happen again.

Okay. Okay. It was just a dream. Yeah. But you, you were clenching your fist. It seemed more like a nightmare. Tell me about it. Uh, I, uh, I dreamt, uh, How about you?

You had a dream that something happened to me.

Brave. What, what, why are you looking at me like that? How do you know? You can tell me anything?

Okay. You’re starting to scare me if you don’t tell me what happened in the stream. I am. I’m just going to imagine something worse. I dreamt that, um,

I call you in bed with Eric.

Oh, my God. Well, you, you said you wanted me to tell you. Yeah, I, I did, but it that’s so upsetting. Yeah. Telling me it was pretty damn real too, you know?

Now, before you knew that I was there. You,

you said that he didn’t want to hurt me. And then Eric said something like for the best,

oh my God. I can still see the expression on your face when you realize that I was there an expression on his face, too.

I’m sorry, you had such an awful dream. Yeah, but why? I mean, what we brought this up, I don’t know. Don’t I don’t, you know, maybe it had something to do with something Jada said at work, the other.

And what was that?

Hey, I don’t have to work this more. Hmm. So maybe a little breakfast in bed, unless you have to go into work. I have a little. I’ve gotten nothing but time. Yeah. See, that’s why I, uh, I work for my dad. See, I get to plan kind of my own hours and work when I need to work and work. When I only, when I have to, why not?

because you job, I wouldn’t describe it like that. You don’t enjoy working at the pub. You know what I do? I do. I, I really do. I like being around my. Yeah, he’s a great guy. He’s very supportive and occasionally funny yeah, no, he is. I, I really like him even when I was in Africa the last few years, mm-hmm , there was always something to do something that mattered,

I guess, just in the end, it just seemed to matter more than my marriage, more than my life here. And. Even when I had planned to come home, even if it was just for a few days, I always found a reason to stay. Mm. Would you wanna go back to Africa? That’s a point once you fired as a priest, there’s no going back.

Oh, I see. Well, is there something here? You could do something that matters. I know there is. I mean, there’s you remember how I said, I used to help run the Horton center. Mm-hmm well, that matters, you know, but I just, it feels like I’m going backward and I wanna move forward. Yeah, I totally get that. I’ve just, you know, I always always been clear about what I wanted to do, you know, set my sides on my goals, you know, and right now I’m just so unclear and I don’t.

What I want to do, and it’s new for me,

everybody. Come on. Hey, well, I just dropped off Dr. Evans at the hospital. Mm-hmm . I wanted to take Kayla to the hospital too, but she would let me, yeah. Yeah. She like me hover. I know, I know. I know doctors wants to put her head down and move forward. Like nothing’s wrong, but we know, or his is out there and this time I don’t want to be blindsided when he decide to make his next move.

We here safe and ouch. Hey there. Hey, just letting Steve know that I’m here safely. Mm-hmm . John insisted upon driving me to work this morning. Well, I guess we can’t really blame them for worrying about us. I have to say, I feel a little hypocritical being too hard on Steve. I have been known to worry about him or the kids irrationally at times.

I know I just hate it. I feel like I’m looking all over my shoulder all the time. Just it’s taking a toll. Oh yeah. I hear that. You know, just this morning, Steve. He sent me yellow roses and I thought they were for Morpheus. I freaked out and I threw them across the room. I understand. Every time we elevator door opens, I think it’s gonna be Orpheus stepping out.

Oh, Hey, Hey, you meet again. Huh? Oh, you didn’t see enough of us. Um, actually I came by to see you professionally Kayla. Oh yeah. I mean, I. I I’m feeling too good that I was wondering if you could check me out. Sure. Uh, what’s the problem? Well, I, I, I’ve been having this low grade fever, you know, I feel kind of weird, you know, I was actually woozy coming up here.

You do look kind of pale. You look more than a little pale. Maybe you should sit down. Yeah. Never mind it. It’s actually in Roman. He’s the one that insisted that I come up here. I, I I’m sure I’m gonna be fine. No, no, no, no. Why don’t we just get you to an exam room and check you out? Come on.

Okay. Oh, Kate, Kate.

Kate Kate, can you hear me?

Why Elena thinks we should just leave everything to the police. In fact, she’d be freaking out right now. If she knew I was talking to you about this, you know, I did, I called Sean and guess what? I got nothing on or you I’m talking nothing. Well, I don’t trust the radio silence. I know he’s up to something and I don’t wanna wait around for it any more than you do.

That’s right. That’s why I think it’s time for you and I to make a move on our own right now. Yeah.

I’m gonna call Roman. It’s a great idea.

You are what. Well, you faint it. You have a slight temperature. You were woozy, obviously. Do you have any other symptoms? Oh, sorry. I keep, yeah, you go. I don’t even feel like coming on. It’s so really? What, what are you, what are you looking at? I’ve been sneezing. I blamed it on pepper or roses, but I, do you have a, do you have a temperature?

I, I do feel a bit warm are thinking what?

Kayla, Kayla. Hmm. Talking about careers. Have you ever thought about being a. Seriously, this is really good. Or scrambled eggs, perfectly done. Oh, I’m glad you like them. I do enjoy cooking, but not my passion. Well, that is, I mean, I know you love helping people. Mm-hmm well, like I said, when I was working at the Horton center, I did help in counsel.

Hmm. Would you get back into that again? If there was a need, but you know, there’s a new director, right. Here’s doing a great job. Right, right. So what did you do before you were a priest photography? Really? Mm-hmm what kind? Fashion? Yeah, I got hired for a fashioned. Nicole. She was a model actually. Oh, I’m sorry.

And there was no need for that. Why not? You know, I’m freeing. Past relationship, you know, in my opinion, it’s just not a good idea. Well, I disagree. How can we get to know each other if we don’t talk about our past? Yeah, I guess that’s true.

So, uh, when you were working with Nicole, Photographing her. Hmm. Is that when you fell in love?

Come on Rafe. Tell me what Jada said. Hmm. No, it is nothing, nothing. Well, if it triggered a dream, I think it’s something. Uh, tell me what she said. Okay. She, she just said that she thought that you might think that it was weird that she was going out with Eric. And then I told her, yeah, I told her that I thought you were fine with it.

And then she just, uh, reacted, reacted how? Just like, um, No, it seemed like skeptical what? That, I’m fine with it. Yeah. What, and then, did she tell you that I went to see Eric the other day? Uh, no, she didn’t say that. Uh, you just did.

So you went to see Eric? Well, yeah, I did. Why?

Wow.

Well, because I wanted to talk to him about something. Uh, and what did you want to talk to him about?

That was when Aquan I met long time ago. Hmm. So are you still interested in photography? I didn’t even catch. anytime I had a spare minute, I would, I would reach for my camera. Mm. I bet the landscape was amazing. It was beautiful. Oh, especially the children. So you ended up doing portraits. Oh, I probably shot every child in the orphanage, in every person in the village.

That’s wonderful. Yeah. Actually there was a, a nun, unbeknownst to me, submitted my photos into this competition and it. Oh, wow. That’s amazing. Yeah, it was great. Especially for the orphanage because they really need the money. Hey, I’d really love to see those photos sometime. How about now? Why not?

Nah, thanks man. You know, you know what I was thinking? Mm-hmm Orpheus. The only people who really cares about her is. It is grandkids. Right. And Zoe, Zoe, we know that she has got Evan’s son and her own kid in New Zealand right now. Right. Right. And, uh, Evan is on his way there with his and Jan Spears kid.

Right. Right. You know, uh, I don’t know if it’ll do any good, but I do have an old ISA contact at Wellington. I’ll give him a call. Nice. Nice. Check it out, Zoe.

You know, Zoe she’s, she’s, she’s different than the rest. Yeah. Yeah. How so? But she was always very honest about what a good job RA did with little David. Maybe we should get ahold of RA, you know, have him appeal to her as a parent. Well, at this point, I’ll take anything. We gotta get Orpheus before he strikes again.

Kayla, Kayla, what happened? You cranked it. I don’t think this is a co. Or if he

good. Oh, from hi, I’ll take you to it. Okay. Good. All right.

So why’d you go see Eric? Well, cause I was gonna offer him a job job. Mm-hmm yep. Basic black has new campaign coming up and we don’t have a photographer and you know what I thought this project would really help him get over, you know, not being a priest. Right? Yeah. You didn’t say anything about it to me, honey.

That’s because you’ve been so busy at work. Right. So it just slipped my mind. That’s all. Okay. Yeah. So is he gonna gonna take it job actually, uh, Jaya interrupted, so I never got to finish the conversation, but then I know you have to go to work. And so do I? Yeah. Okay. If I take a shower first. Okay, babe.

Use on the hot of water. Try not to

These are some of my favorites. Ooh. These are really great. Hmm. Thank you. Powerful.

Have you ever thought about getting back into it professionally? Uh, yeah, it’s crossed my mind, but you know what? There’s more photographers than the jobs, but didn’t you tell me that your brother owns a fashion company? Yeah, he co-owns it with Nicole all roads lead to Nicole. I’m sorry. Yeah, no, I’m sorry.

That was, that was a dumb thing to say. No, no, it’s okay. I understand. You know, but actually, you know what. Actually there is something that kind of crosses my mind. Yeah. Yeah. I could talk to Jack Deborah. I mean, maybe there’s some work. I could do it for the spectator. They’d be lucky to have you. Thank you.

Oh, look at the time. I better get going. Thank you for a wonderful breakfast. Yeah, anytime. And, um, I look forward to our third day. Me too. I just hope we can figure out something.

Okay. I called John he’s on his way right here. Oh, okay. Great. I’m gonna go check on PA. Thanks for your help. Roman, babe,

I knew I shouldn’t have, let you talk me into bringing you to work. I knew it that wouldn’t have changed anything. I still probably would’ve fainted. I’m just glad that Roman was there to catch him. Yeah. Thank God for that.

He’s so worried about Kate.

You know, it can’t be a coincidence that Kate and I both fainted. Well, if there were any doubt that Kate called Steve right after Roman called me and Kayla had fainted also.

Come on. Oh, thank you. Oh, Hey, are you sure? You’re okay. Yeah, for the moment, it just, it just comes over me and waves. Ugh, me too. It’s or obvious

you, uh, have any idea for this? Well, the symptoms are, uh, um, sneezing. A low grade fever and fainting. I mean, you felt fine, right? What, what about you? Fine, John too. Can’t be that contagious. Well, my guess is that, uh, he administered something or exposes to something in the warehouse. Well, that means that that kidnapping was just a setup and we were meant to find him, oh my God.

Well, with his association with Ralph. This could be anything. Well, one thing we know about Orpheus is he likes to take credit. He wants to put his signature on everything. Yeah. Like sending me those yellow roses. Yeah. I’m calling John and me and that whole crap show with the puzzles about diffusing, the bomb, which was never gonna go off.

This is a pair. Yeah. Yeah, and Orias is gonna want us to know it’s him. I bet we’re gonna be hearing from him real soon.

I hope I’m not late six minutes early. How was your evening? Nice. We celebrated Eric’s dad’s birthday. Oh yeah. Mm-hmm so how are things going between you and Eric early stages, but I think it’s going great. You know, we’re getting to know each other. It’s nice. Yeah. So did he say whether or not he is gonna take that job?

Good job. What are you talking about?

Janet, you already forget something.

I hear the, you love

Arem. Sure. You figured out by now that I’m behind what’s happening to your precious women, sweetness, stock sneezy. I’m sorry. I meant Kate. And I, I don’t wanna keep you in suspense any longer about what’s in store for them. Wait, does that sound ominous? It does. Doesn’t it.

Days of Our Lives Transcript

Transcript provided by and proofread by Suzanne

Alex: Thank you, Dad. Send Sonny all my love, and tell him I’ll see him tomorrow. Bye. Great news. Sonny’s awake.

[cell phone beeps]

Stephanie: Oh, thank God. [Sighs]

Alex: Yeah, and your press release worked its intended magic. I checked Titan stock price at the bell and we rallied. We recovered all of our losses, and we closed the day at a half a point up.

Stephanie: Wow, congrats. Seems the public has a lot of trust in you.

Alex: Well, that’s thanks to you, queen of the spin. So what do you say we celebrate all this good news and grab some cosmos?

---

Ava: Why are you being so nice to me?

Johnny: Because I like having you around, and because I, uh… I care about you, Ava… a lot.

[soft music]

---

EJ: If you are here to help yourself to the free drinks and nibbles on our family’s dime, I’m afraid we don’t have much of a spread. Anna’s gone to get a bottle of champagne, but knowing her, it’ll be empty when she returns.

Shin: I don’t care about the drinks and nibbles, thank you. Just grateful to be invited to Jake’s memorial, since after all, I was closer to him, then most of the family.

EJ: Well, now that it’s over, feel free to make a tasteful yet hasty exit.

Shin: You’ll be free of me as soon as Gabi has finished saying her final goodbyes to Stefan.

---

Gabi: I never imagined I’d be telling you about my feelings for another man, and I, I hope you understand that as wonderful as what we had was, I needed… I needed to make a new life for myself. But, you know, even though Li and I are engaged, you are the love of my life, and always will be, but I have to let you go. Goodbye, Stefan. [sighs] Oh, my God.

Stefan: Hello, Gabi.

---

Like sands through the hourglass, these are the Days of Our Lives…

[soft orchestration]

---

Pauline, Oh, Chanel. I, um–

Abe: What– what’s all this?

Chanel: 9,999 campaign cookies.

Allie: 98. Sorry. I needed a sugar boost. Um, it is the largest order we have ever done. We started at 3:00 AM to finally get it all done, so…

Chanel: So? Does it meet your quality standards?

Paulina: Mm, I’m sorry, baby. These just won’t do.

---

Ava: Johnny?

Johnny: Yeah?

Ava: Oh, my God. We can’t do this.

Johnny: Oh, why not? It felt pretty great to me. Hmm?

Ava: Okay, well, all right, well, For starters, I–oh God, I am old enough to be your–God, I’d rather not say the M-word.
Johnny: Well, I have always been mature for my age.

Ava: Yeah, but, what about–what about your father, huh? He, he would–he would flip.

Johnny: Well, so what, who cares what he– I mean, after, after the way he treated you and me for that matter, I don’t know why we would– I, I don’t care what my dad thinks.

Ava: Okay. I don’t care either, all right? I really don’t. That ship has sailed, but– (sighs) I don’t wanna come between the two of you.

Johnny: Well, that’s great then, because, uh, he’s already done that by himself. You got nothing to worry about.

---

EJ: How long does it take to say goodbye to a guy who’s been dead for four years?

Shin: [Chuckles] Today was especially emotional for Gabi because, well, I proposed to her today.

EJ: Yes. I’m aware. Tony and Anna told me about your blissful announcement. Let me be the first to offer my condolences.

Shin: I’ll wait for Gabi outside.

EJ: Although, given that Gabi still wears her wedding ring around her neck, you must certainly must be aware that her heart still belongs to my dead brother.

---

Gabi: I– I can’t believe it. Ava was right. All the long shoot. She saw you. She’s not crazy. You’re alive. Jake, how would you survive–

Stefan: Why is everybody confusing me with this Jake person, huh? I see that we have the same birthday. So what, does that mean that this Jake is my twin brother?

Gabi: I don’t– I don’t under– I don’t understand. Are you saying–

Stefan: What I am saying is that I am not Jake. What I’m saying is that I’m Stefan DiMera.

---

Stephanie: First of all, only an amateur buys into his own PR.

Alex: Wait. So you’re saying I’m not really the next Bezos?

Stephanie: I’m saying you’re next in line to be canceled if you keep this up. So for the last time, our relationship does not and will not ever extend beyond business. Is that clear?

Alex: Yeah. In my defense, I was just offering to get you a drink as a thank you for a job well done. I wasn’t asking you to go to bed with me.

Stephanie: I started out on the racing circuit, okay? So I am very well-versed in handling men like you–

Alex: Oh.

Stephanie: Who think they can have whatever and whoever they want. I’d suggest you read the Titan manual on sexual harassment, particularly whether it’s acceptable to ask a subordinate out on a date after receiving a firm no. No spoiler alert. It’s not.

Alex: All right, all right. Um, I am sorry if I overstepped.

Stephanie: If?

Alex: I’m sorry. I overstepped, I just– I have never felt like this before about anyone

Stephanie: Feelings have to go both ways. You are aware of this, right?

Alex: Yeah.

Stephanie: And since I’m obviously not getting through to you. I will try yet again, to be clear. Your attempts at charming me into changing my mind about you are a waste of my time and yours, and frankly, dangerous for your career, because if you continue to overstep, we’re not gonna be able to work together. Understood? Say yes again, and mean it this time.

---

Chanel: You don’t like my cookies.

Allie: What’s wrong with them?

Paulina: Well, they say vote for Abe on them.

Chanel: Yeah, but that’s what you said. The order specifically said–

Paulina: I know, honey, and I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’ve been so busy. It must have slipped my mind to call you.

Abe: Ah, ah, you see, I’m no longer running for governor.

Paulina: I am.

---

Ava: Okay, fine. Fine. You don’t care what your dad thinks. All right, but we both know that you’re not over–

Johnny: Chanel made her choice. She’s with my sister now, and I need to move on.

Ava: Okay. Well, maybe I’m not ready to move on. Okay, my husband just died a few weeks ago.

Johnny: Wow. [Sighs] Wow, wow. Oh, I am so sorry. I– I’ve been insensitive. I– I look– I– I don’t wanna push you into doing anything you don’t wanna do, but I am attracted to you, and correct me if I’m wrong, but I think you’re attracted to me, too, no?

Ava: Johnny, it’s not– Look, it– I’m scared, okay? I- I am scared that I’m losing my mind.

Johnny: Ava, you’re not crazy. Look, you– you are not– no, look at me. Take my hand. Look at me. You are not crazy, I know it. Look, maybe my dad is behind all this. He’s got a history of gaslighting women. There’s gotta be an explanation for all this, for why you keep seeing Jake. But if you’re holding back to protect me, then please don’t.

---

Shin: I have no illusions about Gabi’s feelings for Stefan. Yes, he was the love of her life so far. But Gabi’s ready to move on.

EJ: Or at least she’s persuaded you, that she is.

Shin: And for some reason you feel threatened by her commitment to me. By her accepting my proposal of marriage.

EJ: Threatened? Not in the least. I’m just warning you that Gabi’s said commitment to you might not be so wholehearted.

Shin: And I’m warning you to mind your own damn business.

EJ: None of my business? Stefan was my brother, and you and Gabi are on a mission to consolidate power at DiMera. So it’s very much my business,

Shin: Gabi and I are not on any mission. We are deeply in love and soon to be married. Her heart belongs to me, damn it! Not your dead brother!

---

Gabi: Stefan? No, mm-hmm, that’s– that’s impossible because Stefan had his heart taken out of his chest, okay? I begged Dr. Wolf to– to help me, but he said Stefan was beyond help. I donated his heart! I donated his heart, and it is inside of Julie Williams’ chest right now.

Stefan: Yeah?

Gabi: Mm-hmm.

Stefan: Dr. Rolf gave me a new heart.

Gabi: [exhales sharply]

Stefan: That’s right. And apparently he had me on ice for quite some time.

Gabi: For four years– for four years? How would that even– That’s– that is Jake’s suit. How would you– I know this. I know this because I bought that suit for him. How could you–

Stefan: My sister brought it to me.

Gabi: Your sister? You mean Kristen?

Stefan: Yeah.

Gabi: Oh, my– she’s been living in Jake’s apartment. Does she know about this?

Stefan: What, that I’m alive? Of course she does. All right, but this suit? I don’t know if Kristen knows that it was my brother’s suit or not, but I can assure you, suit or no suit, I’m Stefan. That much, I’m sure of.

Gabi: So it was you– it was Stefan that Ava saw in here earlier, not Jake?

Stefan: Yeah. It was me.

Gabi: Stefan? You are alive? You’re– you’re back. You’re really– You’re back? Oh.

Alex: I promise I will never offer to celebrate anything with you ever again. Not even an office birthday.

Stephanie: Good. We’ll celebrate Titan’s successes separately as well.

Alex: Is that what you’re gonna go do right now? Celebrate separately?

Stephanie: Uh, no, I have another client to see.

Alex: Oh, all work and no play?

Stephanie: A recipe for success. I happen to love my job, Alex, most of the time. So we’re clear on where we stand?

Alex: Yeah. Crystal.

Chanel: Mama, you’re running for governor? Where did that even come from”

Paulina: [Laughs] Well, Abe and I had a meeting with Stephanie Johnson, our PR Wiz.

Abe: You see, she thinks that Paulina would be a stronger candidate.

Paulina: Well, that’s not exactly what she said, honey.

Abe: This was Paulina’s dream. It was hers all along. So we decided that she should go for it.

[Both chuckle]

Paulina: And I hope I can count on your support.

Chanel: Of course.

Paulina: Rest assured, we will pay for all of these cookies–every single one of them. [Laughs] And I’d like to place an order for 10,000 more that say vote for Paulina.

Allie: Well, too paraphrase one of my brother’s favorite movie quotes– “We’re gonna need a bigger cookie.”

Abe: [Chuckles]

---

EJ: [Chuckles] Your defensiveness about Gabi’s devotion to you leads me to believe that you are not so sure of it yourself.

Shin: How about we limit our conversation to business matters

EJ: Like your latest hire and what an idiotic mistake that was?

Shin: Ava Vitali is as shrewd as they come.

EJ: Oh, she may be shrewd, but she’s also off her rocker, hallucinating her dead husband, or rather her dead boyfriend. Since it’s obvious to anyone with half a brain that that marriage never occurred.

Shin: [Chuckles] Gabi and I stand by Ava as does your son.

EJ: My son’s judgment is clouded by his libido.

Shin: You underestimate him, EJ, as you do anyone who isn’t blindly loyal to you. I should go check on the CEO of your father’s company. She and I have so much to celebrate.

[soft music]

---

Stefan: What the hell did you do that for?

Gabi: Stefan, what are you talking about? I’m your wife. You remembered my name. Don’t you remember me?

Stefan: Of course. Of course I remember.

Gabi: Then– then you remember how much I love you.

Stefan: Well, I don’t love you. In fact, I can barely stand the sight of you.

---

Ava: Mm, you are very persuasive, Johnny.

Johnny: [Chuckles]

Ava: Not to mention sweet and supportive, and I really do like you.

Johnny: So does that mean–

Ava: No, no, no. You and me, Uh-uh, not gonna happen for many reasons, most of which I just told you, but mainly, it’s just because I want to, um… I need to heal, you know? Or at least try to…from losing Jake. I just think I need to keep my life as simple as possible right now. You understand, don’t you?

Johnny: Yeah, I’m trying to.

Ava: But I want you to know your defending me the way you did against your father, and the way you’ve been pursuing me, it’s– I gotta say, it, uh, definitely helped my ego.

Johnny: Good.

Ava: It lifted my spirits and, um, you’re helping me heal.

[knock at door]

EJ: Johnny. Johnny, are you in there? You missed Jake’s service, you know? Which is very poor form, considering that you arranged it. Johnny–

[tense music]

EJ: [Sighs]

---

Allie: Are we really going to go back into that bakery and make 10,000 more cookies?

Chanel: Well, I hope Mama understands that we’re gonna have to charge more for bigger cookies, but I’ll straighten that all out with her in the morning. In the meantime, we should probably figure out what–

Alex: Just the pair I was looking for.

Chanel: Hey, Alex.

Alex: Hey.

Chanel: What’s up?

Alex: Well, I need your wisdom, guidance, relationship advice or– or better yet, lack of relationship advice.

Chanel: And what do you need all of that for?

Alex: You guys gotta help me get over Stephanie Johnson.

---

EJ: Get up, get dressed and get the hell outta my house–now! I was right all along.

Johnny: Dad, calm down. It’s not what it looks like–

EJ: Don’t you dad tell me it’s not what it looks like. I know exactly what it is. This woman, this– this scheming slut.

Johnny: Hey! Don’t talk about her that way.

EJ: Can’t you see what she’s doing? She’s using you to get to me.

Ava: No, please do not flatter yourself.

EJ: I questioned your so-called marriage to my brother, Jake, which for the record, I still don’t believe actually happened. I questioned your sanity and your ability to carry out your responsibilities at DiMera. So you took my son to bed for one reason, and one reason alone.

Johnny: Dad!

EJ: Revenge!

Johnny: You don’t understand.

Ava: No, no, he does.

EJ: Get out of my house now.

Ava: Yeah, I damn well will because the sight of you makes me sick.

Johnny: Yeah, me, too, and if she goes, I go.

EJ: Win, win.

---

Gabi: Stefan, what– what are you saying? No, listen, you have been through a trauma. You are confused, but please just try, try to remember how much we love each other.

Stefan: I, uh… I don’t feel that way. Not at all.

Gabi: So you have to remember, please. You have to.

Shin: Oh, my God.

---

Stephanie: I was able to book you a magazine interview for tomorrow. I have some materials here for your prep.

Paulina: Oh, wow. Someone does their homework. Well, I’m pretty sure it’s safe to say. The only skeletons left in my closet now are Halloween decorations.

Stephanie: Excellent. and Mayor Carver, is it possible that you could also participate in the interview?

Abe: Oh, uh, I– I’m not running

Stephanie: Our polling shows that the main reason that Salemites were less keen on you running for governor was that they would lose you as mayor, meaning we can parlay your popularity into a huge asset for Paulina. Not that you’re not a strong enough candidate in your own right. But as one half of a political power couple…

Paulina: Ooh, I love the sound of that. A political power couple. Right? Right, Abe?

Abe: I– I– I don’t want this to be about me.

Paulina: Ha, not with me standing next to you. [Chuckles] Oh, I tease this man relentlessly, but lucky for me, he puts up with it.

Abe: Most of the time.

Paulina: Oh.. [Chuckles] You know, it wasn’t that long ago, I would’ve pushed you out that door, after hearing that I was only one half of the power couple.

Stephanie: Well, I’m glad you didn’t hire me then. May I ask why?

Paulina: Uh, when I was young–er, younger, I was trapped in a very painful relationship with my first daughter’s father. Then I met Chanel’s father, and I lost him. After that, I decided that I was just done with men. I didn’t need love, and I didn’t want the pain that it brought. You know, and I had my business. That was enough.

Stephanie: Well, I can certainly relate to that.

Paulina: Yes, until I met Abe. [Chuckles] Then I realized just how wrong I was.

Abe: [Chuckles]

---

Chanel: Why do you wanna get over Stephanie?

Allie: Yeah, I thought she was the woman of your dreams, love at first sight.

Alex: She is, and it was. But as she blatantly pointed out to me that those feelings have to go both ways, and she drove home that in this case, they don’t.

Chanel: Oh, dang, that’s rough.

Alex: Yeah, I guess there’s this new popular thing about respecting a woman’s boundaries and taking no for an answer. Y’all heard of that?

Allie: Mm-hmm, it rings a bell.

Alex: Uh, well, rung a bell to me, too, because I’m not a schmuck, and I understand that when a woman says, “no,” she means it. Just wasn’t really used to hearing that very often until recently, moving back here.

Chanel: Oh, poor baby.

Allie: Yeah, I mean, it’s really shocking, too, you know? ‘Cause you’re so charming, and handsome, and rich. I can’t even imagine how anyone could say no to you, like, you’re just such a catch.

Alex: All right. Get it outta your system; it’s okay. Just remember, I am a bit heartbroken right now, and I have no idea how I’m supposed to get over this incredible woman who thinks I’m a jerk. All I do know– I should have never listened to Sonny boy.

Chanel: You mean when he told you that you should find love and settle down?

Alex: Yup. And I told you about that. And I also told you that I completely rejected that idea. I was great. I was having a good time. I was having casual encounters with wonderful women that were all fine with it. There was no feelings to complicate things, you know? It was just good, old-fashioned, carnal, hot fun. But now. I’ve got all these feelings–

Chanel: Mm-hmm.

Alex: You know, for Stephanie, and this is a woman that I hardly know. She wants nothing to do with me. So I’m, like, how do I stop obsessing? How do I not feel so needy and pathetic?

Chanel: Well, maybe what you need is to go back to your old ways. You know, just a hookup. In other words, like, no strings attached, just fun, you know? No feelings. Just to get your mind off Stephanie.

Alex: Yeah, that might work. Actually…

Allie: Actually what?

Alex: Now, don’t take this the wrong way because you know how much I like you girls, and I know you didn’t exactly jump, the first time around, on this idea, but–

Chanel: But?

Alex: Is there any chance you two might wanna volunteer to help out your old friend, Alex, through a tough time? Some no-strings fun?

---

Shin: Jake, you’re alive?

Stefan: When the hell are people gonna stop calling me Jake?

Gabi: Um, Li, I know that this is unbelievable, but this is Stefan.

Shin: What? That’s impossible.

Gabi: Yeah, he told me that Rolf basically brought him back from the dead.

Stefan: Li, it’s been a long time. I take it you’re still with DiMera?

Shin: Yes, I am.

Stefan: Mm-hmm? Who’s the CEO this week?

Shin: Gabi is, and she’s doing an amazing job.

Stefan: That an engagement ring?

Shin: Yes, it is. Gabi and I are getting married.

---

EJ: Well, I see you’ve already started packing.

Ava: Oh, you’re damn right. Can’t wait to get out of this mausoleum.

Johnny: Me, neither.

EJ: Then good riddance to the both of you.

Johnny: [Sighs] I’m really sorry about that.

Ava: Nah, don’t be. It’s for the best. I’ll just, um, I’ll get a room at the Salem Inn, and, uh, what about you? Hmm? This is your family home. You sure that you–

Johnny: Oh, I’m very sure. Yeah. My father needs to realize he can’t just bully people and get away with it.

Ava: Okay. So what are you gonna do? Where are you gonna go?

Johnny: Well, I’ll go to the Salem Inn with you.

---

Ava: Johnny. We just met a couple of weeks ago.

Johnny: And had an immediate connection.

Ava: Yes, but you know that this cannot be.

Johnny: Look, it’s okay. All right. I–I–I’ll sleep on the floor. I’ll sleep on a cot, whatever, and it doesn’t have to be about sex; I mean that. But by the way, I– I kind love that my dad thinks it is.

Ava: Yeah. Me, too. But listen, still, Johnny, I don’t think that this is the right time for us to be movin’ in together. We know now–

Johnny: Look, you know, I didn’t mean– I didn’t mean move in together, move in together, it can be just one night to start, right? If that’s what you want.

Ava: To start–Mm-hmm

Johnny: Okay, look. Ava, I didn’t try to sleep with you to prove some point to my dad. I did it because, well, like I said, I– I really like. I really like you, Ava. You say I’ve helped you. Well, I’ve been a little bummed myself. You know, about Chanel, uh, about a lot of things, but, um, you helped me, too.

Ava: Well, I’m glad, and I just want you to know that, uh, our hanging out so much and getting close like we have, you know, now we know it’s just a friendship.

Johnny: [Chuckles]

Ava: Like I wasn’t looking for revenge against your dad, okay? But if it’s a fringe benefit, then I guess I won’t complain.

---

Allie: What happened to that little thing you were telling us about, you know, respecting women’s boundaries, taking “no” for an answer”

Alex: But did you ever actually say the word, “No?”

Both: Yes.

Alex: Okay, all right. Just hear me out. This time around wouldn’t all be just fun. You’d actually be doing a pretty good deed for someone. You’d be helping me get Stephanie outta my system and helping your pal out through a difficult time. And you said I was handsome and charming. So what do you say?

Chanel: Well, Alex, you know, we like to have as good a time as anyone–

Alex: Okay. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Listen, speaking for myself, and hopefully for Chanel as well… Sure, yeah, having a fun, no-strings time will maybe get you out of your misery, temporarily, at least. But I think it would be a big mistake to banish this new semi-enlightened you, and look, just because Stephanie wants nothing to do with you, that doesn’t mean that you can’t find somebody out there to have a real relationship with who shares your feelings.

Alex: Yeah. You know, I actually– I agree with Allie, and you know what, maybe you could just consider this a bump in the road on your way to finding that special someone.

Allie: Yeah. And maybe, you know, instead of just jumping into the fun, and distracting yourself from how you’re feeling right now, which is rejected and pathetic, you could deal with those feelings. You could sit with them for a little while. It might be therapeutic, you know?

Alex: Maybe. Thank you girls for listening, and to be honest with you, I really respect the fact that you’re not into the whole threesome idea. After developing these feelings for Stephanie, I kind of understand what it’s like to just want to be with one person– be exclusive and in love with that one– like you guys. But in your case, it obviously goes both ways. Unfortunately, not both ways, both ways, but both ways. You know what I mean. You know what I mean. Hey, I’m envious.

Chanel: [Laughs]

Alex: Take care, ladies.

Allie: [Chuckles] Yeah.

---

Stephanie: So it was love at first sight for you two?

Paulina: Oh, good heavens no.

[Abe and Paulina chuckle]

Paulina: No, what I mean to say is, well, when I first met Abe, oh, I could see he was quite the catch, but I just told myself, “Not interested.” Like I said, my business was my life. And well, I just– eventually, I just couldn’t ignore what was standing right in front of me.

[Abe and Paulina chuckle]

Paulina: I just–I just opened up, and I gave in, and I’m so glad I did. Man, we’ve hit some potholes along the way, yes. But this man right here is the best thing that ever happened to me.

Abe: Oh, Paulina has made me happier than I ever thought possible.

Paulina: Bottom line, Stephanie, is sometimes you think, you know what you want and don’t want, but as it turns out, you don’t have a clue.

Stephanie: Yeah.

Paulina: Anything else that you want from me?

Stephanie: No, no, I think, I think if you share in the interview tomorrow, what you just told me, you’ll give a lot of people food for thought.

---

Stefan: Wow, congratulations. Gabi, I’m glad to see that you moved on, and I hope you too have a happy life together. I should go.

Gabi: Oh, Stefan, wait. I– I– I– I don’t know what Rolf has done to you, but we need to get you to a hospital. We have to get you checked out.

Stefan: No, no, I’m not going to a hospital. In fact, I’m not going anywhere with you.

Gabi: But you have to remember.

Stefan: No, no, I do remember, Gabi. You’re the one who needs reminding. I was living a happy life in a relationship with Chloe Lane, and you came along and ruined everything.

---

Johnny: If you need me, I will be at the Salem Inn with Ava.

EJ: What? You can’t seriously be moving in with that woman? She’s– she’s a cougar. She’s using you. My God, Johnny! This is wrong on so many levels!

Johnny: Ava.

Ava: Aw, thank you. Bye, EJ. [Hisses]

---

Paulina’s voice: Sometimes you think you know what you want and don’t want, but as it turns out, you don’t have a clue.

Alex: [Sighs] I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to– I didn’t even realize– I’m– I’m gonna go.

Stephanie: It’s a public place, Alex. You can– you’re allowed to be here.

Alex: No, it’s– it’s okay, really. I’m– I’m gonna go– I’ll go sit over there.

Stephanie: Wait. I know I said that we should celebrate separately, but since you’re here, and I’m here, I guess I don’t see why we can’t celebrate together. I mean, it’s just one drink, and it’s business, right?

Alex: It’s business. Of course. You sure, though?

Stephanie: Pull up a stool. I’m buying.

Alex: [Sighs]

---

Allie: Do you think Alex learned anything?

Chanel: I think he learned that it’s a bummer to get hurt.

Allie: Do you think that he learned that we don’t need a man in the bedroom to have a good time?

Chanel: Um, yeah. I– I think you, I think you got through to him.

Allie: Chanel, I– I don’t wanna share you with anyone for any reason ever. Like, even for a night, I seriously could not handle that.

Chanel: Okay, well, then, you will never have to. And Allie, I don’t wanna share you, either.

Allie: Oh, look, who’s here.

Johnny: Hey, sis. Chanel. Uh, my– my dad kind of kicked us out, so we’re getting a room in the Inn.

Allie: Together?

Johnny: Yeah, why not? Well, uh, you guys have a great night. I know we will.

Allie: Okay.

---

Gabi: I stole you from Chloe Lane? What the hell are you talking about?

Stefan: As I recall it, you tried to seduce me to get your foot in the door at DiMera.

Gabi: What?

Stefan: That seemed to be the theme of our whole relationship. I hope you come to your senses and soon. Good luck to you.

Gabi: Stefan, wait.

Shin: I’m so sorry, Gabi. This must be so disturbing for you–so painful. But I assure you, it’s gonna be okay. I’ll make it okay.

Days of Our Lives Transcript

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Gabi: I don’t know what to say.

Li: Well, that’s not a good sign. It’s also very unlike you.

Gabi: I just– this is just so unexpected. We haven’t even been dating that long. You’re proposing out of the blue. Where is this coming from?

Li: After I solidify my relationship with gabi, she’ll want nothing to do with stefan. It’s coming from my heart. I love you, gabi, and I was afraid that if I waited any longer, I might miss my chance to make you my wife, and that would be unbearable because I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I’m hoping you feel the same.

[Soft dramatic music]

Tony: Now, it’s unpleasant enough battling gabi and li for control of the company, but to have your family turning on each other as well?

Anna: But, darling, that’s nothing new.

Tony: I know my brother was a bit of a brute to ava. What I don’t understand is why johnny is so protective of her.

Anna: [Chuckles] Darling, isn’t it obvious?

Tony: Well, I suppose it’s due to some misplaced sense of chivalry.

Anna: [Laughs] Chivalry has nothing to do with it. Johnny has a crush on ava.

[Laughter]

Johnny: Of course ava can handle the memorial. She’s a lot stronger than you give her credit for.

Ej: Are you sure about that? Ava seemed pretty shaken up when she saw jake the other night.

Johnny: That was just her imagination. She realizes that now.

Ej: But memorials can be quite emotionally taxing, even for the strongest people. What if this is the thing that pushes her over the edge and makes her start seeing dead people again?

Ava: Jake?

Ava: It really is you. How’s this possible? You’re dead.

Stefan: Not anymore.

Male announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “days of our lives.”

[Soft orchestration]

Johnny: Yeah, you’d like that, wouldn’t you? For ava to have some kind of breakdown. Because then if she’s declared mentally unfit, you’ll make a play for her shares.

Ej: I’ll admit the idea has crossed my mind.

Johnny: No kidding.

Ej: But if you’re so concerned about her holding on to her shares, her sanity, then maybe this memorial service isn’t such a good idea.

Johnny: Look, ava’s fine with it, okay? And no one is forcing you to go. I just thought you’d want to pay respects to your brother.

Ej: I hardly knew jake.

Johnny: He’s still family. That meant something to nonno. I thought it meant something to you, too, but I guess I was wrong.

Ej: [Sighs]

Ava: No. No, no, no. This isn’t real.

[Chuckles] This isn’t happening. This is– it’s just like the time before.

Stefan: The time before?

Ava: Yeah, when you came to the house, and I fainted, remember?

Stefan: Yeah, you’re looking a little pale right now. Maybe you should sit down, hmm?

[Eerie music]

Ava: No, no, no, no, no. No, this is in my head.

Stefan: All right, I’m not quite sure what’s going on here, but–

Ava: No, I’m–I’m– I’m going crazy, okay? This isn’t real. All right? You’re not real. You’re not jake.

Stefan: Who the hell is jake?

Kristen: May I come in?

Brady: Actually, chloe and i were–

Kristen: What–where the hell is he?

Chloe: He? Who exactly are you looking for?

Woman tc: My a1c stayed here, it needed to be here.

Brady: Kristen, chloe asked you a question. Who else did you think was here?

[Dramatic music]

Kristen: You need to get to the salem inn right now. This is her room number. You’re going to go to the room, knock on the door, and you are going to show her how much you love her. I thought randy was here, the hunky intern chloe has been flirting with at work.

Chloe: What? That’s not true. I never flirted with that guy, I don’t even know his name.

Kristen: Oh, but look at you. You immediately knew who I was talking about.

Chloe: Oh, for god’s sake.

Brady: Oh, my god, kristen, why would randy the intern be here?

Kristen: Oh, come on, brady, isn’t it obvious? I thought chloe was cheating on you with him. And nauseatingly, though, it would’ve been, I thought I would catch them getting it on. Clearly, I was mistaken, so I’m going to be going.

Chloe: Okay, no, no, not so fast. We know damn well you didn’t come here because you thought I was cheating on brady. Kristen, what are you hiding?

[Soft dramatic music]

Stefan: Jake dimera. Born december 11, 1979. Coincidence? Maybe this jake dimera is my twin brother. Is that who this woman thinks I am?

Tony: I hope your instincts are off base right now.

Anna: Why? Because ej will go ballistic if ava and johnny get involved?

Tony: Yes, that’s one of the many reasons. I mean, aren’t things bad enough between father and son?

Anna: Oh, ej needs to get over himself and stop trying to control everyone around him. And if johnny is interested in ava, then good for him.

Johnny: Did I hear my name?

Anna: Yes, yes, darling boy. Yes, I was just saying how sweet it is of you for putting together this memorial for ava and for jake. Ava must be very appreciative.

Johnny: Just–I just hope it brings her some peace.

Anna: Ah.

Johnny: Ava? What’s wrong?

Ava: I saw him. I saw him down at the crypt.

Anna: You saw who?

Ava: Never mind.

Tony: You saw jake, didn’t you?

Ava: Yeah. Yeah, I saw him again.

Li: Gabi? What are you thinking?

Gabi: Yeah, I’m sorry, I just need a moment to process everything.

Li: Of course. Take your time. And just so you know, I thought about doing this, proposing to you, in a moment romantic setting, but I figured this is where we first connected, so it was appropriate in its way. Still processing everything?

Gabi: Li, I didn’t even know you were thinking about marriage.

Li: Actually, I’ve thought about it for a while now, ever since the moment I met you, I’ve been captivated by your beauty, intelligence, your strength, and determination. The last few months have been the happiest I’ve ever been, and I don’t want that to end. But I’m beginning to feel that I may have jumped the gun.

Gabi: No. Not necessarily.

-Hi, dr. Rick. It’s julie. -[ Gasps ] That’s me.

Anna: What do you mean you saw jake?

Ava: I wanted a moment alone before the memorial, so I went down to the crypt, and he was standing there, right next to his plaque.

Tony: And did you talk to him?

Ava: Yeah, we said a few words. Then I freaked out, and I came here, but, look, I know. I know this isn’t possible, but I’m telling you, it seemed real. You think I’m crazy.

Johnny: No. No, I don’T. So, look, why don’t we both go down to the crypt and see if we can get to the bottom of this.

Ava: Thanks, johnny.

Johnny: Let’s go.

[Soft dramatic music]

Kristen: I don’t know what you’re talking about. I’m not hiding anything. I will respectfully express my regret on accusing you of being a cheating whore, not that you weren’t in the past, but maybe you’re trying to mend your laws.

Brady: Kristen! Leave now.

Kristen: Of course. I’ll let you two get back to whatever it is you were doing. And brady? I will see you tomorrow in court.

Brady: What in the hell was that about?

Tony: I think my brother was right. Ava is having a nervous breakdown.

Anna: Oh, come on, tony. You know that mausoleum is incredibly dark and creepy. You can’t blame her for thinking she saw a ghost down there.

Ej: Shall we go pay our respects to our brother?

Tony: I thought you weren’t going to attend.

Ej: My son shamed me into it. Family loyalty and all that. Shall we?

Anna: Oh, I actually think we should wait here a bit.

Ej: Why?

Anna: Because ava and johnny are down at the crypt, and it would probably be best if we don’t interrupt them.

Ej: Interrupt what? What’s going on?

Tony: Ava thinks she saw jake again.

Ej: [Chuckles]

Johnny: What’s wrong?

Ava: I just– I just need a minute.

Johnny: Of course, yeah, take your time. You know, on the one hand, I’m afraid jake won’t be in there, and on the other hand, I’m terrified that he will be, and I’m going to be the only one who can see him, and that’s going to be confirm that I’ve lost my mind.

Johnny: Ava, whatever happens in there, I am going to help you through it. All right? We’re going to figure this out together. I’m here for you, okay?

Ava: Okay. Let’s do it.

Johnny: All right.

Gabi: When we first got together, I thought it was just going to be a fun little fling, and that’s what I wanted at the time, and I assumed you were fine with that. But, you know, as time went by, I started to realize it wasn’t just a fun little fling. It has grown into something deeper.

Li: For me as well.

Gabi: I had a conversation with rafe about a month ago, and I told him, li, that I was done with love, that no one could take stefan’s place in my heart, and that’s still true to an extent. But he–he also told me not to give up on love. And I’m starting to realize that there’s room in my heart for someone else, for you.

Li: What are you saying?

Gabi: [Sighs] Well, I’m saying that if the offer still stands, I would be honored to be your wife.

[Tender music]

An amusement park is like whooping cough,

[Soft dramatic music]

Ava: There’s no one here. Jake was standing right over there, right near his plaque. And then he came over to me. He reached out, and he touched me this time…

[Chuckles] And he was wearing a suit. His favorite one. But it’s impossible.

Johnny: I don’t know. I mean, my family does kind of have a history of cheating death. My nonno, my dad, my uncle tony, my aunt kristen. They’ve all come back from the dead, so maybe my uncle jake, he did the same thing.

Gabi: [Laughs]

Li: I love you, gabi.

Gabi: I love you too. Now, aren’t you forgetting something?

Li: Oh, of course.

Gabi: Wow. Oh. It is stunning. But it’s probably a little too extravagant.

Li: Nothing too good for you, my love. I want to give you the world.

Gabi: I love the sound of that.

Li: Let’s start tonight. Let’s go celebrate. The night is ours! I’ll book the dimera jet!

Gabi: Yes, yeah, but we have to go after jake’s memorial.

Li: You’re right. How could I forget? I’ll admit I am excited to see how ej and the rest of the dimeras will react to our engagement. I’m guessing they won’t be too pleased that we’ve consolidated our power.

Gabi: I hadn’t even thought of that.

Li: Well, I just hoped that it wasn’t the only reason you accepted my proposal.

Gabi: You’re also a good kisser.

Li: I’m glad you noticed.

Gabi: Of course I noticed, but maybe I could use a little reminder?

Li: Hm.

Kristen: Is he here?

Rolf: Who?

Kristen: Henry viii. Who do you think? Stefan!

Rolf: I thought he went to call on the voluptuous ms. Chloe lane.

Kristen: So did I! But I just saw chloe; my brother clearly hadn’t paid her a visit. Where the hell did he go?

Johnny: All right, let’s go outside. Jake could’ve wandered off.

Ava: No. No. Look, as much as I want to believe that you’re right and jake is alive, I– it doesn’t make any sense. Right? If he was back and he came back for me, then why would he have let me walk out that door? We were in love. He would’ve followed me. He would’ve found me and convinced me that he was back and he would be together right now.

Johnny: I can’t explain why jake would’ve let you go, but if we find him, we can ask him. What’s the harm in trying?

Ava: Oh, I don’t know, I mean, aside from the fact that ej is going to try and use it against me again?

Johnny: Yeah, aside from that.

Ava: Ej finds out that we are out chasing ghosts, he is going to have me locked up, and maybe it was where I belong, right? Because I’ve obviously lost my mind.

Johnny: Ava, no. Look, stop saying that. I’m sure there is a perfectly good explanation for all of this. Didn’t you say you had hallucinations when your son drugged you?

Ava: Yes.

Johnny: Okay, so maybe that’s what’s happening right now. Maybe we need to go get you checked out by a doctor.

Ava: It does not feel like that this time. I haven’t been drugged, johnny.

Johnny: Well, then it’s something else, but you can’t just assume that you’re insane. Let’s think about this for a second. Let’s think about what could be going on here.

Ava: Okay, what is going on here is I can’t tell the difference between what is real and what is not.

[Laughs] I can’t take it anymore. You know, with seeing jake and then having him disappear and then thinking I’ve gone nuts and on top of it, having your father ridicule me all about it? It’s– it’s too much. It’s too much.

Johnny: Ava, wait.

Ej: Um, ava nearly ran me over just now. Is she all right?

Let’s be real…

Kristen: I don’t understand. I told stefan chloe was staying at the salem inn. I even gave him her room number. I mean, I did everything except draw him a map. So how could he go and screw things up?

Rolf: I warned you that it was too soon to release him out into the world. I would’ve much preferred to have done another round of behavioral conditioning.

Kristen: So you’re telling me that your brainwashing didn’t take?

Rolf: I can’t say for sure, but it worries me that he didn’t feel compelled to go straight to ms. Lane.

Kristen: Really? “It worries you”? Well, it more than worries me, rolf. It’s ruining my day. Possibly my entire future.

[Sighs] If stefan wasn’t compelled to go straight to chloe, well, you know what that means.

Rolf: I hesitate to say.

Kristen: Oh, right, of course, you do. Because if stefan is still in love with gabi, oh, this is on you, rolf. And you sure as hell know what that means.

Anna: Well, we better get down there. Ej took off like a bat out of hell when we told him that ava thought she saw jake again.

Tony: Yes, I– maybe I should’ve said something. I just hope that ej is not going to be too unkind to her.

Anna: Oh, I’m sure he’s probably his usual sensitive and compassionate self.

Tony: Well–

Gabi: Ah. Sorry we’re late.

Tony: Oh. Busy day at the office?

Gabi: Guess you could say that. Li and I are engaged.

Anna: What? Really?

Gabi: Yeah.

Anna: Oh, congratulations!

Li: Thank you, anna. Thank you.

Anna: Wow.

Tony: Yes, congratulations. That’s quite a strategic merger on both your parts.

Li: I assure you, this has nothing to do with business. Gabi and i are very much in love.

Tony: Well, of course you are.

Gabi: So johnny and ava. Where are they at? They’re down at the crypt already?

Tony: Yes. Yes. I hope ava is going to feel well enough to attend the memorial.

Gabi: Why is that? What’s wrong with her?

Tony: Well, I’m afraid she thinks she saw jake again.

Li: What? Where?

Tony: Well, this time she claims she saw him down in the crypt. So johnny went down with her to have a look around.

Gabi: I feel so bad for her. No only is she grieving her husband, now she’s having these hallucinations.

Li: Perhaps we should go down there, make sure everything’s okay.

Johnny: Ava is fine. She’s just feeling a little emotional about the memorial.

Ej: Why? Tony and anna just told me that she still thinks jake is alive.

Johnny: Oh, so you know.

Ej: It’s what I’ve been trying to tell you, johnny. The woman is mentally unstable. Now do you believe me?

Johnny: [Chuckles] This is all going exactly the way you planned it, isn’t it?

Ej: What the hell are you talking about?

Johnny: You’re gaslighting her, trying to convince her that she’s insane so you can get your hands on her shares.

Ej: Oh, please. Ava is making herself insane. She doesn’t need any help from me.

Johnny: Oh, really? Because you told her that it wouldn’t be long before she had another vision of jake and then boom, it happens, giving you just the evidence you need to take her shares.

Ej: And how in the hell was I supposed to arrange that?

Johnny: I don’t know, maybe you put on a jake mask.

Ej: [Laughs] I think you’re confusing me with your aunt kristen. I don’t do masks. In fact, I’m horrified by the entire concept.

Johnny: Then you hired a look-alike.

Ej: A look-alike? Okay, now you’re just being crazy, johnny.

Johnny: Jake has turned up twice. Somehow, I don’t know, but I think you’re behind it, and you’re trying to scare her.

Ej: Damn it, johnny, I am not responsible for ava’s hallucinations! And frankly, I’m getting sick and tired of you taking that woman’s side over mine!

Johnny: That woman has a name and she’s your sister-in-law.

Ej: Alleged sister-in-law. You’d have to be an idiot to think that her and jake were actually married. That’s just more of her sinister lies. She’s an amoral woman, johnny. She was brought up to have no conscience, and that is still the case, no matter what she may say to you.

Johnny: Is that what you tell yourself to justify your campaign against her?

Ej: Damn it, johnny, there is no campaign! And your defending this deranged woman is not only infuriating, it is also downright sad. The fact that you’re so bloody gullible, so naive, it’s just embarrassing!

Johnny: Well, yeah, I’d rather be gullible and naive if that means having a heart. I’d much prefer that to being cold and cynical, like you. Ava is vulnerable, and I will not let you push her over the edge.

Ej: Oh, my god, I’m not trying to–

Johnny: Just stay away from her, damn it! Leave her the hell alone.

It’s started. Somewhere between a cuddle

Johnny: What are you doing?

Ava: What does it look like I’m doing? I can’t stay here. This house of horrors is driving me insane.

Johnny: Where will you go?

Ava: I don’t know, probably back to the garage.

Johnny: No. No, ava, don’t do that, you shouldn’t be alone right now.

Ava: I won’t be because kristen is still staying there.

Johnny: That’s even worse. My aunt kristen’s favorite game is getting people to question their sanity.

Ava: Oh, well, too bad for her, she won’t have far to go.

[Chuckles] Besides, you know, I never belonged here in the first place. Maybe it’s why I’m being punished.

Johnny: For what? You didn’t do anything.

Ava: Okay, come on, you must know that’s not true, right? I’ve done plenty terrible things in my life, and maybe it’s all just coming back to haunt me literally.

Johnny: What, you’re talking about the mafia stuff? Because let me tell you, my nonno did some things in his day that would make the vitalis look like choir boys. And he still gets to have his portrait on the wall. Besides, that’s in the past. I mean, you fought to overcome all that. You should be proud of everything you’ve accomplished.

Ava: Wow, you– you really are sweet. But you’re giving me too much credit. And aside from me not being that lovely person that you think that I am, I’m losing my mind, and you should not have to deal with that.

Johnny: You’re not losing your mind, ava.

Ava: Then how would you explain what I saw or what I thought that I saw?

Johnny: You can’T. I can’T. Okay, but if you just stay, we can figure it out together like I said, just– just please don’t go.

[Dramatic music]

Rolf: I just got a text from mr. Shin.

Kristen: What did we want?

Rolf: Apparently, ava vitali thinks she saw jake on the dimera property again.

Kristen: Meaning she saw stefan again.

Rolf: Sounds like your brother went back home instead of seeking out ms. Lane.

Kristen: Which means he went to track down his wife. Damn it, rolf! You didn’t wipe out his love for gabi after all.

Ej: And then he accused me of gaslighting ava, which of course I denied, but he refused to listen, the little swine.

Tony: Well, that’s a lovely way to refer to your son.

Ej: Should I think warmly of him when all he does is insult me? When he feels no loyalty to me whatsoever?

Gabi: Okay, look, outrage aside, johnny has reasons to be suspicious. I mean, you would do anything to get your hands on ava’s shares.

Ej: Like I told my son repeatedly, I am in no way responsible for ava’s decline. And rest assured, I’m going to let your father know about this latest incident, just in case you two were trying to cover up for ava again.

Gabi: You know, you really are a creep.

Anna: Enough! Guys, we’re supposed to be here to pay our respects to jake, and can we just table the usual snarkiness for just a bit?

Tony: Yeah, anna’s right. Shall we begin with the memorial?

Anna: I suppose we might as well. The less time we spend in this place, the better.

Tony: So we are here today to celebrate the life of our dearly departed brother, jake, who’s joined his twin, stefan, in the great beyond.

[Soft dramatic music]

Stefan: Anyone here?

[Sighs] Guess not.

Stefan: Good to see you again, father.

Time. It’s life’s most precious commodity,

Kristen: Stefan was supposed to fall in love with that stupid slut chloe and drive a wedge between her and brady! Rolf, my whole plan is going up in smoke! And it’s because of your incompetence!

Rolf: What? How is this my fault? I told you he wasn’t ready!

Kristen: Well, then perhaps you should’ve been a little more forceful with your concerns! Your timidity, along with your failure, has ruined everything! And not just my plans, rolf, you screwed things up for li as well. Oh, I’m warning you. I am warning you, rolf. If stefan shows up to reclaim gabi, li shin is going to make you pay for your unforgivable blunders with your life!

Anna: That was a lovely tribute, darling.

Tony: Oh, thank you, sweetheart. Although, I found it hard to come up with some cherished memories of a brother I hardly knew. But I did my best. Oh, by the way, did anybody invite kristen?

Anna: Well, i certainly didn’T.

Ej: Don’t look at me. This whole memorial was all johnny’s idea. And he and jake’s grieving widow didn’t even have the courtesy to attend themselves.

Anna: Well, I’m sure that ava is grieving in her own way.

Tony: Yeah, well, now that this is all done, shall we get back to the house and have some cocktails and hors d’oeuvres?

[Soft dramatic music]

Ej: Oh, don’t let us keep you though if there’s someplace else you’d rather be.

Li: Thanks, tony. Drinks and a little something to eat sounds lovely. We’ll catch up.

Tony: Okay, we’ll see you there.

Li: Are you all right?

Gabi: Yeah, I’d just like a moment alone with stefan if that’s okay with you. I just, um– I’d like to share our news with him and sort of ask for his blessing.

Li: Of course.

Gabi: I won’t be long.

Johnny: Please, ava, don’t go.

Ava: I have to, johnny. Nobody wants me here.

Johnny: Look, I do. This house? It’s a lot more bearable with you in it.

Ava: Why are you being so nice to me?

Johnny: Because… I like having you around. And I care about you, ava, a lot.

Ej: I’m going to look for johnny.

Anna: Well, maybe you should wait just a minute. Give him a little more time. Besides, you don’t want to miss the champagne toast to celebrate gabi and li’s engagement.

Ej: They’re engaged?

Anna: Yes, apparently. Just today, and she’s gotten quite the big rock from him.

Ej: And why the hell would I toast to that? Those two are merely trying to cement their positions at our family company, consolidate their power.

Tony: I had the same thought.

Anna: Oh, you two are such cynics. Come on, tony. Help me pick out a bottle of champagne. Oh, ugh. Who put that empty glass there? That could leave a water mark.

Tony: Oh, darling, don’t worry about that. Harold will take care of it.

Gabi: I never imagined I’d be telling you about my feelings for another man, and I hope you understand that as wonderful as what we had was, I needed–I needed to make a new life for myself. But, you know, even though li and I are engaged, you are the love of my life and always will be. But I have to let you go. Goodbye, stefan.

Days of Our Lives Transcript

Transcript provided by and proofread by Suzanne

Gabi: God, Will, that is such great news. Yes, I am so relieved. Oh, by the way, I only told Ari that he was sick ’cause I didn’t want to scare her. Yeah, will you– will you tell me when he’s ready for visitors? Okay. All right, send much love to Sonny, okay.

[Phone beeps]

Gabi: [Sighs]

EJ: Need any help with the big words?

Gabi: Is there something you want?

EJ: No, I just stopped by to tell you that you’ve made a major mistake.

Gabi: Really? Because I’m not the one who went down in flames in front of the entire board.

EJ: No, but you are the one who gave Ava Vitali a job here.

Gabi: That’s right, yeah.

EJ: [Chuckles]

Gabi: Is something funny?

EJ: I’d say more ironic.  [Clears throat] You see, I’ve been wracking my brain trying to figure out a way to get you out of that chair. And you went ahead and took care of it for me.

---

[Knock at door]

Ava: Hey.

Johnny: Oh, I’m sorry. You look busy, I don’t–

Ava: No, not at all. How can I help you?

Johnny: I just wanted to check in with you, see how you’re doing after everything that went down with my dad.

Ava: Oh, you know, I think yesterday may have been harder on you than it was on me.

Johnny: Oh, come on, he went after you, not me.

Ava: Yeah, but he used you to do it. I mean, he attacked me, but he betrayed you.

---

Chloe: Hey, Rafe. Yeah, no, I’m just letting you know that I’m almost back at the Inn, and Brady’s still at work. Yeah, no, the security detail’s been incredible, thank you. Is there any word on Leo? It’s just not fun to think that that psychopath’s on the loose somewhere. All right, I won’t. I appreciate it I’ll talk to you soon.

[Phone beeps]

Kristen: What the hell are you doing?

Chloe: Oh, that’s funny, I was just talking about psychopaths on the loose.

Kristen: Mm, I asked you what the hell you were doing.

Chloe: I’m going home.

Kristen: Home? I don’t think so. See, I dropped by the office to go over all your mistakes that you made on the projections you sent me, and they said you’d left, nearly two hours before the end of business.

Chloe: Well, that was Brady’s decision. You can take that up with him.

Kristen: Oh, what a surprise. So you persuaded Brady to knock off early. What’d you do, show him a little cleavage?

Chloe: For goodness’ sake. I didn’t do anything. Like I just said, it was Brady’s decision. He said he needed some time to prepare for the hearing tomorrow, in which he will be fighting you for full custody of Rachel.

Kristen: Hmm.

---

[Door clicks]

Shin: So you are here.

Rolf: [Gasps] Mr. Shin. You startled me.

Shin: And you hung up on me over an hour ago, never called back.

Rolf: I was attending to my patient.

Shin: You mean your lab experiment. So who was your little visitor? Did Kristen decide to drop by? What is that? What is that? What are you doing?

Rolf: I need you to leave. You’re interrupting my work.

Shin: You’re scared.

Rolf: No.

Shin: Something’s wrong. Damn it, did you end up killing him?

---

Male announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “Days of Our Lives.”

---

 

[Soft orchestration]

Anna: [Gasps] Oh, I hope you made a shakerful of whatever that is.

Tony: I made us a gallon of very dry martinis.

Anna: Ooh. Good. Let’s drink it all because I’m really looking forward to this evening.

Tony: A nice family dinner with a side of guerilla warfare.

[Both chuckle]

Anna: Well, I take it that, since things are still relatively quiet, EJ isn’t home yet?

Tony: No, we still have that to look forward to. Pasta e fagiole with EJ and Johnny, and our housemate, Ava. Oh, help us with the parmesan and the cyanide.

Anna: [Laughs] Oh, I hope I’m not speaking out of turn, but you know, sometimes it seems that EJ doesn’t bounce back when things don’t go his way.

Tony: Oh, to say that things don’t go his way is a bit of an understatement. First Johnny voted against him at the board meeting and then defied his father when he tried to throw Ava out.

Anna: Yes, but don’t forget that EJ secretly taped Johnny and then played said tape to a room full of people. I don’t think EJ can be surprised if Johnny stood up to him.

Tony: Oh, he more than stood up to him. First, he backed Gabi over his father. And then his father had to back down over Ava. Two times in public.

Anna: Mm.

Tony: Trust me. EJ’s not going to take any of this lying down.

Anna: Mm-mm.

---

Ava: Okay. I had no business saying that. I am sorry.

Johnny: Why? All you did was tell the truth, which is a refreshing change of pace around this house.

Ava: Yeah, but, Johnny, the last thing I want to do is make things even worse between you and your father.

Johnny: You didn’t do anything; it was him. I mean, you’re right. He recorded a private conversation that I had with him and then played it in public. He betrayed me.

Ava: Yeah, but, you know, he was trying to protect his family.

Johnny: He wasn’t trying to protect his family. He was trying to put himself back in charge. All he accomplished was proving once again that, you know, he cares more about himself than he does about me.

Ava: Johnny.

Johnny: No, it’s fine. It’s fine. It opened my eyes. And I promise you that I will never let him treat you like that again.

Ava: Oh. Look, you don’t have to protect me. You don’t have to worry about me. Actually, everything turned out the way it’s supposed to.

Johnny: Come on, you can’t mean that.

Ava: No, I do, I do. Actually, I am now working at DiMera.

Johnny: Wow, okay. When did that happen?

Ava: This morning, Gabi gave me a job.

---

EJ: You do know, don’t you, Chief Executive Officer Gabi, that the fact that you and Shin lied about Ava seeing her dead husband doesn’t mean that she didn’t see her dead husband and most likely will see him again. You’ve just hired a mafia princess who is in the process of losing her mind. What could possibly go wrong?

Gabi: She’s grieving, okay? She is fragile at the moment. You know what? She’s got a good business head. And she’s excellent at management and delegation.

EJ: You call, “Mario, go pop Tony the Tuna,” delegating?

Gabi: All right, you can go now.

EJ: You can spare me the corporate BS. Do you honestly expect me to believe that Ava got this job on her merit? You wouldn’t have hired her as janitor if you weren’t her co-conspirator.

Gabi: Excuse me?

EJ: It’s obvious that you two are working together. Thanks to Ava’s so-called marriage to my recently-departed brother, you think she can help you keep you in the job that you don’t deserve.

Gabi: So-called marriage?

EJ: Yeah, the marriage that conveniently happened just mere minutes before the groom was shot to death. It’s an obvious sham. And you can’t honestly say that you believe any differently.

Gabi: You know, it really doesn’t matter what I believe, or what you believe for that matter. See, I didn’t lose my job. But you lost your son. Well-played, EJ. Very well-played.

---

Rolf: He’s fine. He’s simply recuperating from the first cycle of his conditioning.

Shin: And when he wakes up, he’ll be in love with Chloe?

Rolf: I don’t know. Until I return him to full-consciousness, I’ll have no idea if he’ll need more cycles or not.

Shin: How many cycles might it take?

Rolf: [Scoffs] You know, you’re like a whiny schoolboy in back seat endlessly asking, “are we there yet?” It doesn’t speed anything up and really irritates the driver.

Shin: That didn’t answer my question.

Rolf: I can’t answer it. I’ve only begun. And I’d much rather be certain he’s totally over his feelings for Gabi before I return him to consciousness.

Shin: I agree with that.

Rolf: I feel so validated.

Shin: The last thing we need is for him to escape again– go after Gabi again. I still don’t understand how he managed to overpower you.

Rolf: It was the power of love.

Shin: Well, then I suggest you up your security. Last thing we need is him getting back to Gabi. Kristen and I are in complete agreement about that.

---

Kristen: You expect me to believe that Brady closed Basic Black on the account of the hearing?

Chloe: You don’t think that Brady would do everything in his power to keep Rachel? You clearly don’t know what kind of a man Brady is or what kind of a father.

Kristen: Don’t you dare tell me I don’t know what kind of a father he is. See, it’s you I don’t trust. And as long as you are in his orbit, I need to protect my daughter.

Chloe: Oh, please. This whole selfless act does not play with me. Do you really think that keeping Rachel away from me or her father is what’s best for her? I mean, listen, I know that you’ve been pardoned of your previous crimes, but you are still a violent sociopath. And I plan on telling the court exactly that tomorrow.

Kristen: Oh. And they’ll just take your word for it?

Chloe: Oh, well, I have some very vivid details about you threatening to stab me with that letter opener. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m gonna go work on my testimony.

Kristen: [Sighs]

---

Anna: The truth is, I can’t help feeling sorry for Ava.

Tony: You know, the issue is not about whether or not we feel sorry for Ava. The issue is whether or not she’s capable or competent enough to hold a seat on the board.

Anna: Well, you’re right, I guess. You know, she’s not sane and rational, like Kristen, who kidnapped half of Salem and put them on a desert island. And did EJ challenge her competency? No. He went after Ava, not because she was incompetent, but because she was vulnerable. And that was a mistake.

Tony: [Sighs] He may have lost the battle, but this war is not over.

Anna: I’m not talking about a business mistake. Tony… EJ kicked Ava when she was down. And he betrayed a confidence to Johnny to do so. So, yeah, he could still end up being the DiMera CEO, but I don’t know if Johnny will ever feel the same way about him again.

---

Johnny: [Chuckles] Ava, that’s great. I know that you are going to do a fantastic job.

Ava: [Chuckles] Well, I think you might be the only person who does, but yeah, thank you.

Johnny: Boy, would I like to be there when my father finds out.

Ava: Okay, Johnny, like I said, I really don’t want to come between you and your father. And as sweet as it was for you to stand up for me, maybe it would be easier for the two of you to work things out if I wasn’t here…

Johnny: No.

Ava: In a room down the hall.

Johnny: Ava, no, no. Somebody has to stand up to him. He can’t just keep treating people like dirt.

Ava: Okay, I know how angry you are, but I–

Johnny: Look, there’s something else that I wanted to talk to you about.

Ava: Okay.

Johnny: Do you remember what my dad said yesterday about having a service for Jake in the family crypt?

Ava: Yeah. I didn’t think he was serious.

Johnny: No, probably not, but I’d still like to do it. I think it would be good for everyone, you know? Say goodbye to him as a family.

Ava: You mean, maybe it would help me lay his ghost to rest.

---

EJ: My relationship with my son is none of your business.

Gabi: Looks like I hit a nerve.

EJ: You know, I’m not interested in what you might guess. You may have been married to my brother, you may be CEO of this company, but that doesn’t make you a DiMera. What happens between me and my son is family business.

Gabi: Which you happened to make DiMera business when you brought that recording into the board meeting, which I’m glad you did, though. Not only did Johnny move over to my side to support me, but maybe he could finally be free of you. See, he doesn’t deserve a father like you. And you really don’t deserve a son like him.

[Tense music]

---

 

[Knock at door]

Chloe: Oh, good, it’s you.

Brady: Who’d you think it might be?

Chloe: I just had a run-in with Kristen; I thought she might be ready for round two.

---

Rolf: All right. From the data I have been able to collect, you responded well to our initial session. Now we are going to continue to ensure that you feel nothing but hatred for Gabi Hernandez and instead will direct all your affections towards Chloe Lane.

[Monitor beeping]

Rolf: Your heartbeat is nice and steady. Good. The more relaxed you are, the better for our work.

[Door clicks]

Kristen: You need to wake him up, right now.

---

Gabi: [Sighs] Where have you been?

Shin: And a pleasant hello to you, too.

Gabi: I called you; your assistant said you were out.

Shin: I was taking my father to the airport.

Gabi: Oh, well, I hope he had a nice trip. But I’m not gonna miss him.

Shin: You seem to be in a bit of a mood.

Gabi: I am–I mean, I just finished a very uncomfortable conversation with EJ. He’s really mad that I hired Ava. [Sighs]

---

Ava: I think it would be lovely to say goodbye to Jake as a family. It’s very sweet of you to think of it.

EJ: Oh, didn’t take you long to move from Jake to his nephew.

Johnny: [Chuckles] Wow, Dad, and I thought you hit bottom last night.

EJ: Oh, I’m sorry. Am I supposed to forget who that is, how she operates? She wormed her way into this family and is using that access to get closer to you.

Johnny: You’ve got no proof that Ava did anything. And the harder you try, the worse you look. Oh, wait, did you come here to record another one of my private conversations?

EJ: I didn’t expect you to be here. I actually came because I wanted to have a talk with your aunt. Ava, might I have a word with you in private?

Johnny: I’m not going anywhere.

Ava: It’s okay, Johnny. I can take care of myself.

EJ: Mm.

Johnny: Hm.

[Tense music]

 

Ava: Okay, EJ, how can I help you?

EJ: [Sighs]

---

Chloe: Ugh, I just let her get under my skin, so I ended up telling her that I’m testifying tomorrow. But I’m just so sick of her feeling free to just push me around whenever she wants. I wanted to wipe that smug look off her face.

Brady: Chloe, I’m really sorry you have to deal with her.

Chloe: It’s nothing compared to what you have to deal with.

Brady: One, I don’t think that’s true. Number two, it’s my fault. I got involved with her in the first place, didn’t I?

Chloe: That is true.

Brady: Yeah.

Chloe: Wait a minute, what are you doing here? I thought you were gonna have early dinner with Rachel before tomorrow.

Brady: Well, Nora Jane’s mom called and invited Rachel to sleep over, which is wonderful because that house right now is a little island of sanity for Rachel.

Chloe: Hm, well, she’s a very sweet woman for doing that.

Brady: Yeah. [Chuckles] Rachel, she’s handling all this with such a, you know, stiff upper lip.

Chloe: [Sighs]

Brady: It’s kind of breaking my heart a little bit ’cause I see how fragile this whole thing is making her.

Chloe: Is she still angry with me?

Brady: No, no.

Chloe: You’re such a bad liar. Come on, we have to be able to tell each other the truth.

Brady: All right. You’re right, you’re right, yes. The answer’s yes. She thinks that you are trying to break her parents up. I told her time and time again that our problems have nothing to do with you. And I think in time– in time, Rachel will understand that.

Chloe: Not if I testify tomorrow.

---

[Monitor beeping]

Rolf: You want me to wake him up now?

Kristen: That’s what I said.

Rolf: I was just telling Mr. Shin, he’s only had one cycle of conditioning. He’ll need more before we can be sure his allegiance has switched.

Kristen: I’m sure he’ll be fine. Wake him up.

Rolf: What about Mr. Shin?

Kristen: What about him?

Rolf: He’ll want to be here when he wakes up.

Kristen: Well, you don’t always get what you want.

Rolf: But he’s as invested in this process as you are.

Kristen: No, he is not. Shin sees him as a pawn, a means to an end. I see my brother. Family.

Rolf: I forgot how warm-hearted you are.

Kristen: Yup. That would be me. So, sleeping beauty, it’s time to wake up now.

---

Anna: Oh, Johnny, dear. Come in. Sit down. Talk to us. Are you all right?

Johnny: Uh, I guess, yeah.

Anna: Oh, well, we– we just hope that you weren’t traumatized by your father’s behavior.

Johnny: Yeah, no. Nothing he does really surprises me anymore.

Tony: Well, I think he was quite surprised with you yesterday.

Johnny: Well, he seems to have a hard time remembering that he can’t just steamroll over me.

Tony: Yes, well, I think he’s gonna remember yesterday for quite a while. But, Johnny, I know that you’re angry, so–

Johnny: Hey, listen, I actually came down here to talk to the two of you.

Anna: Really? Us?

Tony: About what?

Johnny: Uh, Uncle Jake. Ava and I are putting together a small memorial service for him at the crypt, and I was hoping the both of you would be there.

Tony: Oh, of course we will.

Johnny: I know Ava will really appreciate that.

Anna: Will it just be the four of us?

Johnny: Oh, no I’m inviting the whole family. In fact, I was about to call Gabi right now.

---

Shin: You hired Ava Vitali?

Gabi: Is that a problem?

Shin: I’m really not sure how my father’s going to feel about it.

Gabi: Well, from the way you’re making it seem, it’s– he’s not gonna be too happy. But maybe you can bring him around to the idea? Because after the board meeting yesterday, I didn’t have much of a choice. I need all the support I can get. I mean, look at this. These numbers are not what they should be.

Shin: Gabi, before you go back to work, there’s something I want to talk to you about.

[Cell phone rings]

Gabi: Oh, wait, hold that thought, one second. It’s Johnny DiMera.

[Phone beeps]

---

Ava: What can I do for you, EJ?

EJ: Oh, I’d like to talk about you, your state of mind, how you’re using my son.

Ava: Your son has been nothing but kind to me ever since I moved in here. And I realize that you may not understand why someone would do such a thing without wanting anything in return, but he does.

EJ: He’s naive. He thinks you’re here as a grieving widow, but you and I know the truth.

Ava: What I know is that my husband is dead.

EJ: Do you?

Ava: And here we go again.

EJ: [Chuckles] Just the other day, you were convinced that he dropped by for a visit.

Ava: Oh, you really can’t let that go, can you? Huh? I mean, even after your little power play cost you your relationship with your son?

EJ: I’m not gonna let it go. Because I’m going to prove that you’re unstable.

Ava: Okay, well, good luck with that because I am as sane as you are.

EJ: Maybe right now. But it’s only a matter of time before you start seeing him again. And when you do, Mr. Shin will have no choice but to demand Gabi fire you. And then we’ll pack up all your things and ship you off to Bayview with all the other loonies.

---

Kristen: Why isn’t he coming to?

Rolf: We are not starting a car. It’ll take a few minutes for the sedative to wear off.

Kristen: Well, we don’t have time to waste. The sooner he wakes up, the sooner he can go find the woman he loves.

Stefan: The woman… I love.

Kristen: [Chuckles] Yes, yes, that’s right. Now you can go find the woman you love.

Rolf: Chloe. Do you know who that is?

Kristen: Okay, Stefan? Stefan. Hey, talk to me. Do you know where you are?

Stefan: Your lab. I woke up here.

Kristen: [Sighs] Okay. Yes, that is right. You’ve been here for some time.

Stefan: Four years. I died. Got a new heart.

Rolf: Exactly. Everyone thought you were dead. You ashes were even interred in the DiMera crypt.

Kristen: Who cares what happened when everyone thought he was dead. All that matters is he is alive. And now he can go home to his love. [Sighs]

Stefan: Chloe.

Kristen: Yes, yes, yes, okay. Stefan, that’s right. That’s right. You and Chloe were together before you died. And now, now you can get up out of this bed, Stefan, and go climb into hers.

---

Ava: I’m not going to Bayview ’cause there’s nothing wrong with me.

EJ: [Chuckles] Oh, come on, Ava, do you think you can simply will yourself not to go crazy when you keep seeing your dead husband? I don’t actually have to lift a finger against you because you’re cracking up from the inside out.

Ava: Okay, you know? You can just go.

EJ: I actually think these apparitions are like Banquo’s Ghost. You’re not seeing Jake because you miss him. It’s guilt. You’re using his death for your personal gain. Add that to the strain of living here and having to pretend that you’re not thrilled that he got murdered– the strain of pushing down the impulse to shout out, “Hallelujah, I’m rich.”

Ava: Okay, you know what? Maybe I should call Johnny and have him escort you out of my room.

EJ: But I’m not telling you anything that you don’t know already, am I? You and I know that it will only be a matter of time before you see him again.

Ava: I need to get ready for my husband’s memorial service, which Johnny so graciously arranged.

EJ: Oh, little Johnny. He’s just so full of ideas, isn’t he? Oh, say hi to Jake for me next time you see him. Okay.

Ava: [Sighs]

---

Gabi: Yeah, thank you, Johnny, I’ll be there.

Shin: Be where?

Gabi: Johnny is putting together a memorial service for Jake. I told him I’d go. I mean, I do want to pay my respects.

Shin: But?

Gabi: But it’s in the DiMera crypt. And I haven’t been there since after Stefan died.

Shin: Gabi, if it’s too painful, you don’t have to go. Everyone would understand.

Gabi: Oh, I’m going. I’d just like you to go with me.

---

Brady: But you told Kristen you were going to testify.

Chloe: I did–I mean, Kristen’s been insulting me, barking orders at me, threatening me, and I just wanted to shut her up and push back. That’s why I told her I’m gonna take the stand. And the truth is, there’s a big part of me that really wants to–

Brady: Wants to fight back.

Chloe: Yeah, and I’m so sorry.

Brady: No, it’s o–no, no. Don’t, that’s crazy. I mean, how long has Kristen been terrorizing you? What, like– you know, belle seems to think that when she threatened you with that letter opener it was calculated. She’s been trying to rip us up as a couple. She wants to turn Rachel against you without any regard whatsoever what it does to her own daughter. Who does that? I say, get on the stand, testify, and make sure that she goes back Statesville where she belongs.

---

[Door clicks]

Kristen: [Sighs] Well, Stefan is changing into the suit I brought. I got it from Jake’s closet. I thought it would fit, given that they’re twins.

Rolf: Did he say anything else about Chloe?

Kristen: No. But your treatment obviously worked. He’s getting dressed right now to go find her.

Rolf: Or because you gave him no choice. I’ve told you many times, if there’s only one conditioning session, there’s no guarantee we’ve successfully weaned him from Gabi and moved him onto Chloe.

Kristen: But he didn’t seem to remember trying to get back to Gabi the other day. That’s a good sign, right? And I’m sure he can’t wait to sweep Chloe off her feet. Right?

Rolf: I’m sorry, Ms. DiMera, I’m just not sure this is going to work the way you want it to.

Kristen: [Sighs]

---

Chloe: Well, I’m glad that you got that out. But you do see that that’s exactly how Kristen wants you to behave in that court tomorrow?

Brady: Yeah.

Chloe: Just now, she provoked me on purpose ’cause she knew it would set you off. But we cannot play her games, all right? We have to do what’s right. We have to do what’s best for Rachel.

Brady: What’s best for Rachel, and that is?

Chloe: That is… I think that I should not testify tomorrow. I mean, Belle said that the worst-case scenario is that you will have to share custody. And if that happens, then we’ll have to live with that. And it’ll give Rachel the time and space she needs to heal from all this madness. Listen, you and I, we’re in it for the long game. And some day, Rachel will see how much I love her and you.

Brady: I love you, like, so much.

Chloe: I am pretty great, aren’t I?

Brady: You are pretty– you’re more than that. You are way more than that.

---

[Soft music]

Shin: You want me to go with you? I mean, isn’t this service just for the family? I’m not sure the DiMeras would want me there.

Gabi: This DiMera wants you there. I mean, you and Jake were friends. And I need you by my side.

Shin: In that case, of course I’ll go. And.. I’m really glad to hear you feel that way.

---

Stefan: So aside from the hair, how do I look?

Kristen: Mm, perfect. Chloe is gonna be so happy to see you.

Stefan: Mm, Chloe.

Rolf: Stefan… You remember Chloe?

Stefan: Chloe. Lane.

Kristen: [Sighs] Right. And now you are ready to win her back. Now you need to get to the Salem Inn right now. Hm? This is her room number. You’re gonna go to the room, knock on the door, and you are gonna show her how much you love her.

Stefan: Right. Right.

---

Brady: You know, thanks to you, I’m feeling better about tomorrow.

Chloe: Just remember, we have to keep asking ourselves what’s best for Rachel.

Brady: Yeah.

[Knock at door] Really?

[Grunts]

[Sighs] Wh–

Kristen: [Gasps] Brady?

Brady: Yeah. Were you expecting someone else?

---

[Soft music]

Gabi: You’re surprised I want you by my side?

Shin: I’m glad to know that you really care about me

Gabi: Of course I do, Li.

Shin: Good. Because, as I was saying before, there’s something I want to talk to you about.

Gabi: Li? Wha–oh. What are you doing?

Shin: I’m asking you to marry me.

---

Tony: Do you think EJ will go to the service?

Anna: Oh, I doubt it But he certainly should. After everything Johnny has been through this year, and how close EJ came to losing him, you’d– you would think they’d both realize how important family is.

Tony: The trouble is, too many outsiders have driven our family apart. And if EJ and Johnny keep butting heads over Ava, well, things are just not going to end well.

---

EJ: So I understand you planned a memorial service for Jake.

Johnny: I think everyone should have a chance to say goodbye to him.

EJ: Under normal circumstances, I’d agree. But I must say I am concerned about Ava.

Johnny: Yeah, yeah, I could see how much when you attacked her at the board meeting and then told her to move out of the house.

EJ: I’m not going to apologize for trying to protect you from her.

Johnny: She’s not a threat.

EJ: You know, you don’t see it, but when people are drowning, they very often end up dragging down the people who are trying to help them.

Johnny: Wow. You are unbelievable.

EJ: And you think you know all the answers. Are you sure this memorial service is a good idea? Are you sure Ava is strong enough to handle this? [Gasps] What if she cracks under the pressure?

Johnny: Shh.

[Tense music]

Ava: Jake.

Days of Our Lives Transcript

Transcript provided by Suzanne

John: You know, I’m getting a little jealous of that computer.

Marlena: Oh, I’m sorry. I’m just trying to catch up with some work emails.

John: [Sighs] Work can wait.

Marlena: Wait for what?

John: Sweetheart, orpheus just put you through a hell of an ordeal, and you made me a promise that you would do nothing today except let me spoil you.

Marlena: I did?

John: Yes, you did, and I’m holding you to it. Commencing with operation spoil marlena.

[Laughs]

Marlena: [Sighs]

Kate: Eric, eric. Could you put this behind the bar for me?

Eric: Sure, what is it?

Kate: It’s a birthday cake for your dad.

Eric: [Laughs] It’s a bit late. It was yesterday.

Kate: Yeah, I know that because I organized a birthday party for him that was derailed after I was kidnapped and almost murdered.

[Sighs]

Stephanie: Thanks.

Abe: Hm.

Stephanie: Mm, good coffee.

Abe: Ah.

Paulina: It’s mine.

Stephanie: Yours?

Paulina: I own the brand and the farm where the coffee beans are grown.

Stephanie: I guess I shouldn’t be surprised.

Abe: [Laughs] Well, thank you for coming, stephanie.

Stephanie: Oh, of course. It’s a lovely apartment.

Paulina: Well, I wanted our meeting to be a bit more casual. Not to mention safe. Last time we all got together, your father mistook me for that maniac orpheus, and john black almost tackled me to the ground.

Stephanie: Yeah. My father can be overzealous.

[Soft music]

Kayla: This is where orpheus was holding us hostage.

Steve: You sure you’re okay being back here, kayla?

Kayla: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I’m fine.

Jada: Can you show me exactly where you were being held?

Kayla: He had us– he had us chained to these three chairs.

Steve: And this– this is what’s left of the bomb he set. The timer was ticking. I cut the wires to diffuse it.

Kayla: With only seconds to spare.

Steve: That’s right.

Jada: You’re real proud of yourself, aren’t you?

Steve: Sorry?

Jada: You know I respect you, steve, I do, but what the hell were you thinking?

Rolf: Yes, mr. Shin. I’m finally beginning to have success at suppressing stefan dimera’s feelings for your beloved gabi hernandez. And amplifying his desire for chloe lane is looking promising as well.

[Chuckles]

[Footsteps] Oh, I’m sorry. I seem to have a visitor, but I’m sure it’s kristen here to ask me to resurrect her brother. Yes, I know it doesn’t suit your purposes yet. Don’t worry. I’ll put her off. Yeah, I’ll talk to you later.

[Phone beeps]

[Door opens]

Orpheus: Hello, rolf. What’s wrong? Aren’t you happy to see your old pal, orpheus?

Male announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “days of our lives.”

[Soft orchestration]

Rolf: Orpheus, this is a pleasant surprise.

Orpheus: You might want to relay that message to your face.

Rolf: Sorry, I’m just not used to having company. Tell me, how did you find my secret lab?

Orpheus: Secret?

[Laughs] I don’t think there should be secrets between friends, do you? No, secrets can lead to distrust, which can lead to misunderstandings, and that can lead to bad blood. And we wouldn’t want that, would we?

John: [Sighs] Nice.

Marlena: [Laughs]

John: Okay. Operation spoil marlena, stage two.

Marlena: And what do you have there?

John: In my hand, you might ask. Well, I’ll tell you. I have an aromatic, organic, magic massage lotion.

Marlena: Ooh. Magic, you say?

John: Oh. Now, if you have spent days tied up and handcuffed to a chair, and your muscles are just screaming for a little tlc, look no further because I am here to help you. So, pretty lady, all you have to do is lie back and let this magic massage lotion do the trick on your neck, on your back.

Marlena: Oh, but wait.

John: Wait for what?

Marlena: Well, if it’s my massage, maybe I should choose where it begins.

John: Oh.

Eric: Orpheus was gonna blow you up?

Kate: All three of us.

Eric: How am I just now hearing about this? I mean, you must’ve been terrified.

Kate: Yeah, we were.

Eric: But you’re all okay. How’s my mom?

Kate: Yeah, no, she’s fine, kayla’s fine, but you know, we wouldn’t have been if they hadn’t rescued us.

Eric: John and steve.

Kate: Ah, there he is. And my own personal hero.

Roman: [Chuckles]

Kayla: Steve was a hero. He saved all of our lives.

Jada: It sounds to me like he and his pals nearly got you all blown to bits.

Kayla: Only they didn’T.

Jada: Because they got lucky.

Steve: Well, that’s not entirely true.

Jada: We have something called a bomb squad. They are highly trained to handle this type of situation.

Steve: Okay, well, in my experience with the isa–

Jada: I hate to be the one to remind you. You are no longer in the isa.

Steve: That doesn’t mean I’ve forgotten how to operate.

Jada: Yeah, my father told me stories on how you used to operate.

Steve: Is that so?

Jada: How many times have you nearly gotten yourself killed? Or better yet, kayla, how many times has he almost gotten you killed?

Kayla: That’s not fair.

Jada: But you know it’s true. The second the three of you were kidnapped, your husband should’ve picked up the phone and called the police and let us do our job. But no, he always has to be the one to save the day.

Steve: [Sighs]

Stephanie: I have plenty of issues with my dad being overprotective.

Paulina: It’s all right. I get that way about my daughters too. Anyway, let’s–enough about what happened with that creepy orpheus. I want to discuss the reason we invited you over.

Stephanie: The governor’s race.

Paulina: Now, I know you’ve been quietly putting out feelers to see how abe’s candidacy would be received.

Stephanie: And I have results.

Paulina: Well, not that I need to see them. You know, if you ask me, this whole thing is a total waste of time and money.

Stephanie: Why is that?

Paulina: Because everybody loves abe. The state would be lucky to have him running it.

Stephanie: That may be so, but I’m afraid we have a problem.

Paulina: What? What kind of problem? This is the sound of better breathing.

Paulina: It looks like abe has a lot of positives here.

Stephanie: And very few negatives. The majority of likely voters appreciate what they know about him.

Abe: So what’s the problem?

Stephanie: The problem is that support shows vulnerability when specific questions are asked. The numbers are softer than I expected.

Paulina: I know this man better than anyone, and soft is not a word that comes to mind now, so if you think that you’re going to come in here and tell us that–

Abe: Paulina. We are paying stephanie to do the research, so let’s hear her out.

Paulina: [Groans] Fine, go ahead.

Stephanie: Once I got the initial results, I decided to dive deeper. So I conducted some more pointed focus groups.

Abe: And what did you learn?

Stephanie: People like you, abe.

Paulina: No, they love– they love him.

Stephanie: But no matter how we tried to steer the conversation, people just didn’t really want to talk about you.

Abe: Well, what did they want to talk about?

Stephanie: Your wife.

Paulina: Oh, no, me? I’m dragging you down. Oh, marlena and john, they told me I might be a problem.

Abe: No, no, that is not what they said.

Paulina: It all makes sense. All the scandals, price-town, and lani, my arrest for shooting ray.

Stephanie: Paulina.

Paulina: No, no, no. There is only one way to fix this mess, abraham, and restore your reputation. I want a divorce.

Marlena: Hmm.

[Laughs] Oh, it feels so good to be in your arms.

John: It’s where you belong, doc.

Marlena: Mm.

John: It’s where we both belong.

Marlena: You know, that whole time I was held captive by orpheus, I kept– I kept wondering if I’d ever see my family again. If I’d ever see you again.

John: I’d never let him take you away from me. Doc.

Marlena: Hm?

John: You and i have faced down a hundred lifetimes of challenges. We’ve always come out on top. Stronger than ever. Now– I don’t know what’s coming next, but I– I do know that I will always keep you safe.

Marlena: Mm.

[Sighs]

Eric: Around here, you miss a day, you miss a lot.

[Both laugh]

Roman: Yeah, well, I’m sorry you just hearing about the kidnappings, but orpheus said if we told anyone that we would never see kate, kayla, or your mom again.

Eric: No, I’m talking about the two of you right here. Did this ordeal kind of bring you back together?

Roman: Uh, no. It started before that.

Kate: Well, I mean, actually, I–what happened is that I finally took responsibility for my part in lucas kidnapping your sister.

Roman: So I forgave her, and so did allie and your mom.

Eric: Hmm.

Kate: And you know, while I’m being contrite, I’d like to offer up another apology, actually.

Eric: And what’s that?

Kate: [Clears throat] Well, the last time I saw you, I was really pushing hard for you to get back with nicole, and that was a mistake. It was. I’m sorry. And I’d just like to say that what I’d really like for you is to find the happiness that I’ve found with your dad.

Roman: Maybe he already has.

Steve: Look, jada, I know you think we put lives at risk because we didn’t follow protocol, but for your information, orpheus threatened us. We were not to contact anyone, especially the police. And orpheus is not one to make idle threats.

Jada: I know all about orpheus, and his past, and his vendetta against you.

Kayla: Well, then you have to understand why steve felt he had to act quickly.

Jada: The issue is that, if you would’ve kept us in the loop, we would have that psychopath in custody right now, but instead, he’s out there, and who knows what he’ll do next.

Steve: [Sighs]

Rolf: I must ask you not to touch that apparatus or anything else in my lab.

Orpheus: You doing some important work, are you?

Rolf: All of my research is important, and that particular experiment is quite sensitive.

Orpheus: Far be it for me to stand in the way of science.

Rolf: Thank you.

Orpheus: But aren’t we forgetting that I am the one who put the screws to the governor? That I– that I got you included in those pardons.

Rolf: And I am very grateful.

Orpheus: Ah, good, good.

[Chuckles] But now that our paths have crossed again–

Rolf: I’m not sure that I would put it that way, and not to be impolite, but I’m quite busy.

Orpheus: Busy little bee.

[Chuckles] So– your current pet project taking up a lot of your time, is it?

Rolf: You heard about it?

Orpheus: Indeed. So why don’t you show me what all the buzz is about?

Rolf: Don’t, don’t–I can’t let you back there.

Orpheus: It’s okay, wilhelm. You don’t have to worry about me seeing what you’re hiding because I already know. The world is full of make or break moments.

Abe: We are not–

Stephanie: Paulina–

Abe: Getting a divorce.

Paulina: I’m not saying it would be permanent. I’m just saying that you get some distance from me and my scandals, and then when you’re elected governor, we get remarried quietly.

Abe: Sweetheart, when did you ever do anything quietly?

Paulina: Stephanie, you do see the merits of this plan?

Stephanie: Actually, I should’ve been clearer. Paulina, your scores weren’t lower than abe’S. They were higher.

Both: What?

Stephanie: In the focus group, we asked people to describe you in one word, and we got “strong,” “fearless,” “successful,” “inspirational,” “gets things done.”

Abe: That’s three words.

Stephanie: Not all voters can count, but their votes do.

Paulina: Ah, fearless.

Stephanie: Frankly, the qualities that people ascribe to paulina strongly correlate to those of winning candidates in the last six election cycles.

Paulina: Well, what words did abe get?

Stephanie: Also positive ones. “Honesty,” “trustworthy,” “integrity.”

Paulina: Yeah, well, those are good, right?

Stephanie: Sure.

Paulina: Well, what’s wrong with them?

Stephanie: Well, those words are–

Abe: Boring.

Stephanie: Well, I wouldn’t say that. It’s just some people may consider you too nice to hold public office, at least on the state level, no offense.

Abe: Yeah, none taken.

Stephanie: The way the world is these days, people are looking for someone who will do what it takes to get things done.

Paulina: Are you suggesting that we give up the campaign?

Stephanie: No, I am not saying that at all.

Paulina: So you do think that abraham should run for governor.

Stephanie: Oh, I didn’t say that either.

Abe: She’s saying that my wife should.

Stephanie: That’s what I’m saying, and, paulina, I think you’d win.

Kate: What? There’s a new woman in the picture?

Eric: I’m not discussing this.

Roman: Oh, come on. We don’t need to keep secrets from kate.

Eric: There isn’t a secret.

Kate: Oh, what is the not a secret then?

Roman: Well, eric said it got pretty hot upstairs in my new tenant’s room.

Eric: All right, stop. I was just fixing jada’s ac.

Roman: Oh, okay, so that’s what you were doing?

Kate: Well, wait, wait.

Eric: Mm-hmm.

Kate: You and the new detective are sleeping together?

Eric: [Sighs]

Jada: [Chuckles]

Rolf: [Laughs] You’re bluffing. You don’t know anything.

Orpheus: I don’t bluff, doctor.

Rolf: Then what is it you think you know, hmm?

Orpheus: Well, I know that you resurrected stefano dimera’s son, stefan O. Dimera. I bet he’s back there, lying sedated behind this curtain with a bunch of wires hooked into him. I mean, I can only assume you’re brainwashing the poor soul.

Rolf: [Scoffs] Brainwashing is such an old-fashioned term.

Orpheus: Oh, yeah? What would you call it?

Rolf: If you must know, I’m conditioning him.

Orpheus: [Laughs] Conditioning him, okay. Conditioning him to do what exactly?

Rolf: It’s really none of your business.

Orpheus: Ah, pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. Is that it? It’s hard to do, considering he was once dead and now he’s alive.

Rolf: What is your interest in this project?

Orpheus: Oh, mere curiosity. Oh, I have my own project to keep me occupied.

Rolf: And what project is that?

Orpheus: It’s simple. My objective is to bring as much pain and suffering as possible to steve johnson, roman brady, and most of all, john black.

Marlena: John, can we just forget this whole nightmare and get back to our lives?

John: Oh.

[Sighs]

Marlena: John?

John: Sweetheart, you have no idea how much I wish we could do just that.

Marlena: Well, why can’t we?

John: It’s simple. Orpheus is still out there.

Marlena: [Chuckles] I know, but, you know, you’ve got the whole salem pd, and you’ve got the fbi chasing him. They’ll find him, then they’ll lock him up, and they’ll throw away the key.

John: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I hope you’re right.

Marlena: I know I’m right. You know why?

John: Why’s that?

Marlena: Because when you rescued me from orpheus, you took me in your arms, and you said to me, “it’s over. It’s all over.”

John: Yeah, I know I did.

Marlena: Don’t you believe it?

John: At that moment, that challenge was over, but you and I both know, orpheus doesn’t give up that easily.

Marlena: Oh, do you think he’s planning something?

John: I just don’t think it. I know it, doc. I just don’t know what the hell it is. As someone living with type 2 diabetes,

Roman: Jada, you don’t have to answer kate’s question.

Jada: Actually, I wasn’t about to.

Roman: Well, of course you weren’t, and just so you know, I don’t make it a policy to gossip about my tenants or anyone else.

Kate: Okay, so obviously, this is on me because I was curious, and unlike roman, I do gossip every once in a while. Sorry. I’m kate dimera.

Eric: This is my dad’s girlfriend. Off and on, and apparently, on again.

Kate: Okay. It’s very nice to meet you, jada.

Jada: You too. So you’re one of orpheus’ victims.

Kate: I prefer to think about it as one of orpheus’ survivors.

Rolf: As you know, there’s no love lost between myself and the objects of your malevolence.

Orpheus: [Chuckles] Yes, no one hated john, roman, and steve quite like your old boss, stefano.

Rolf: True, so I wish you luck with your endeavors, but I must return to my work.

Orpheus: Your work means everything to you.

Rolf: It does.

Orpheus: So much so, in fact, that you’re willing to revel in your genius by keeping samples of some of your more extraordinary medical achievements.

Rolf: [Scoffs] I’m not sure to what you’re referring.

Orpheus: Oh, come on now. This isn’t just a lab, doctor. This is practically a museum, a monument to you and your work.

Rolf: Oh, I wouldn’t say that.

Orpheus: [Chuckles] Come now, wilhelm. I bet if I were to rifle through your drawers and cabinets, oh, I’d find all sorts of interesting things. The serum that revived so many of the denizens of this miserable town. The drug that restored their banal memories. Perhaps even a chip that can save one’s consciousness. And that’s just a few of your greatest hits.

Rolf: It’s an intriguing theory, but it’s only speculation.

Orpheus: Mm-hmm. I would be willing to state categorically that you are saving some of these oldies but goodies right here, under this one roof.

Rolf: And how would you know that?

Orpheus: Because this isn’t my first visit to your secret laboratory, doctor. I’ve been here before, and I’ve seen everything there is to see.

Steve: My only regret is that I didn’t neutralize orpheus before he had a chance to hurt you.

Kayla: You know what? You need to stop beating yourself up over all this. You saved my life again. And I’m here, and I’m safe.

Steve: Yeah, but he–

Kayla: Yeah, yeah, but– listen, you can keep talking or you can shut up, and kiss me, and let me thank you properly for saving my life.

Steve: That’s not a tough choice–

Kayla: No, you’re still talking.

Steve: Okay, okay.

Kayla: Mm, you can come this way.

Steve: Okay.

Stephanie: How you could you lie to me? How you not tell me mom was kidnapped? My asthma felt anything but normal.

Paulina: Well, that was–

Abe: Unexpected.

Paulina: You know this is crazy talk, right? I mean, stephanie, she’s sweet, but I’ve been in sales my whole life, and I am sold on you.

Abe: So we’re just going to ignore the focus groups.

Paulina: Of course. Of course we are. I know we can make your case to the voters.

Abe: Or we could take stephanie’s advice.

Paulina: You mean–

Abe: I mean that I believe that this state is ready for a strong woman of color to be in the governor’s mansion, and I would be honored to be your first gentleman.

Jada: When you’re ready, I’m gonna need you to come down to the station to give a full statement.

Kate: Yeah, of course.

Eric: Orpheus is still out there?

Jada: No thanks to your father.

Roman: Excuse me?

Jada: You’re not a cop anymore, roman. You should’ve reported kate’s kidnapping the minute it happened.

Roman: Jada, I didn’t have a choice, all right? That son of a bitch, orpheus, threatened to hurt kate, kayla, and marlena unless we kept quiet and played his game.

Jada: Yeah, steve gave me the same story, but roman, you used to be the police commissioner. I would think you would have more trust in the salem pd.

Roman: Like I just said, it didn’t have a damn thing to do about trusting the police.

Jada: No. It was about you going rogue with john black and steve johnson, your cowboy pals.

Kayla: So you heard about the kidnapping.

Stephanie: Just came through as an alert on my news app.

Steve: Oh, baby, I’m sorry you had to hear about it that way.

Stephanie: You’re sorry? You told me mom and marlena were at a medical conference.

Steve: Yes, I know. I would’ve shared the news with you, but–

Stephanie: But what?

Kayla: Listen, both of you, your father had a very good reason that he had to keep you in the dark.

Stephanie: Let me guess. He was trying to protect me.

Steve: No, actually, I was trying to protect your mother, and kate, and marlena. John and I were instructed not to tell the police or anyone.

Kayla: That’s the truth. And listen, the thing you need to take away from this is that orpheus tried to hurt us again, he but failed. And we are here, and we’re safe, all of us. All of us are safe.

Stephanie: [Sighs]

Rolf: You were in my lab?

Orpheus: While you were out, I embarked on a self-tour.

Rolf: You shouldn’t have done that.

Orpheus: Yes, I must admit, I was disappointed not to find a horde of marlena clones stuffed in your broom closet, but I was thrilled by what I found locked in that steel cabinet behind you.

Rolf: You were in this cabinet?

Orpheus: And once I saw it, I knew that I’d found exactly what I needed to destroy the lives of my enemies.

John: Like I just said, sweetheart. I can’t promise you what’s coming next, but I can promise you that I will always protect you no matter what orpheus tries.

Marlena: I’m not afraid of orpheus.

John: Oh, of course, why wouldn’t you be? I mean, he only tried to blow you up again.

Marlena: How many times has he tried to match wits with us?

John: More than I can count.

Marlena: Mm-hmm. And what happens every time? Who wins?

John: We do.

Marlena: Yeah. We always will because I have you.

John: And you.

Marlena: And besides, orpheus would never try to harm a single hair on your head because if he did, he would have me to deal with.

John: Wow. You know, doc, I really love you when you are soft and compassionate, but I really love you when you’re tough and angry like that.

Marlena: Ooh, you do?

[Both laugh]

Marlena: Mm. Research shows that people remember ads with young people

Paulina: Abraham, I don’t know why we’re entertaining this. I mean, me, governor?

Abe: Makes sense to me.

Paulina: How?

Abe: From the beginning, paulina, this quest was your idea. I wasn’t even sure I wanted to run, but you pressured me, and you recruited my friends.

Paulina: Because I believe in you, baby.

Abe: Well, I believe in you too, paulina.

Paulina: You know this is crazy, right?

Abe: These numbers, they don’t lie. Now, you talk a lot about wanting to do good to make up for your mistakes by helping people. Now, paulina price can do a lot of good in the world. You can make the world a better place just like you made my world a better place.

Paulina: Governor.

Abe: The universe– the universe is sending you a message. You need to answer it.

Kayla: There you go. Where are you coming from?

Stephanie: I had a meeting with paulina and abe.

Steve: Oh, well, I hope they’ve forgiven me my vigilance.

Stephanie: Well, they understand the threat that orpheus poses to our family, and now so do I.

Steve: Thank you, baby. It’s good to hear.

Stephanie: I checked in on sonny, by the way. They told me, he’s going to make it.

Kayla: His condition is guarded, but he’s fought through the worst.

Stephanie: Thank god. Of course, victor’s giving me a hard time about how this may look for titan.

Steve: Well, that’s the victor we know and love. Family first as long as it doesn’t affect the bottom line.

Stephanie: Yes. Well, I do have to get back to some work.

Kayla: Why don’t you stay for lunch?

Stephanie: It’s a little late for lunch.

Steve: Well, let’s call it an early dinner. I’ve got some really nice steaks in the fridge there. I can throw them on the grill. Come on. We’ve got a lot to celebrate.

Roman: [Chuckles] No offense, jada, but you’ve been in salem about five minutes.

Jada: Well, I’ve been a cop a lot longer than that.

Roman: Yeah, well, salem is a different animal.

Jada: What does that mean?

Eric: It means you’re gonna have to get used to private citizens going rogue here.

Kate: Oh, yeah. I can confirm that in this town, people do play hero.

Roman: Nobody was playing anything.

Kate: Well, no, of course not, you are a hero, honey. I was just telling eric when you walked in. I’m lucky to have him, detective.

Jada: Well, in my professional opinion, you’re lucky he and his buddies didn’t get you all blown to kingdom come, but, you know, we’ll just have to agree to disagree.

Roman: Works for me.

Eric: Hey, can I get you something to eat?

Jada: No, I just came to look over some files in my room.

Kate: Hey, no. Why don’t you stay? I brought a great, big cake in here for roman’s birthday.

Eric: [Laughs]

Roman: You did?

Kate: Mm-hmm. And I don’t think eric can sing loud enough to drown out my horrible singing.

Roman: No singing, all right? I don’t want a fuss.

Eric: No, no, no. You don’t get to decide what kind of fuss we make about you, all right? You can grumble all you want, but it’s your birthday, so we’re gonna celebrate it right. Hey, jada.

Jada: Well, I do love cake.

Eric: Hmm.

Jada: Happy birthday, cowboy.

John: Mm.

Marlena: Ooh.

John: [Sighs] Okay. I wonder what I can do for you.

[Both laugh]

Marlena: Or shall we see what that magic lotion can do?

John: You have any road map on where I should begin?

Marlena: Oh, yeah. Why don’t you start with my neck and just see where you end up.

John: [Laughs]

Rolf: I’m sorry, but what you found in that cabinet is not available for your or anyone else’s use.

Orpheus: Seriously? You can put down the blade, pal. I have no intention of taking the vial that you locked in that cabinet.

Rolf: Can I trust you on that?

Orpheus: Absolutely. I have no need to take it because I’ve already got it.

It’s started. Somewhere between a cuddle

Paulina: So you really think I could win.

Abe: I have learned to never doubt you.

Paulina: So– we’re doing this.

Abe: We’re doing this.

Paulina: Good lord, oh. We’re doing this.

Abe: Yes, we are, madam governor price.

Paulina: I’m not gonna lie to you. I like the sound of that.

Abe: [Laughs] Oh.

Paulina: Ooh.

[Both laugh]

Rolf: Be careful. Please be careful with that vial. Set it down.

Orpheus: Okay.

Rolf: Nice and easy.

Orpheus: Just relax, relax. Whatever you say.

Rolf: Be very gentle.

Orpheus: No need to panic, doc, it’s empty.

Rolf: You mean–

Orpheus: I’ve already used its contents.

Kate: Hey!

Roman: [Laughs] Thank you.

Jada: Your voice isn’t terrible at all. It’s actually really lovely.

Kate: Oh, no–you are so sweet, thank you. Okay, so make a wish and blow out your candle.

Roman: Well, I already got my wish, so this is just a formality, all right?

Kate: [Sneezes]

[Tense music]

Stephanie: What’s this deliciousness?

Steve: This is my famous black pepper crusted ribeye.

Kayla: Mm, famous for occasionally having too much black pepper.

Steve: Oh, you can never have too much black pepper.

Kayla: [Sneezes]

Steve: Bless you.

Kayla: Ah.

[Clears throat]

Marlena: [Sneezes]

John: Whoa, bless you, sweetheart.

Marlena: Excuse me.

John: Hey, you’re not getting sick, are you, honey?

Marlena: No, no, no. No, I feel great. I–maybe. Maybe I’m just allergic to something in that lotion. Mm.

[Sneezes]

[Sighs]

Rolf: The vial– you didn’T.

Orpheus: Oh, yes. I did. I know that john, roman, and steve are very proud of their heroics, but in truth, they only delayed the deaths of marlena, kate, and kayla. In fact, right now, I’m sure they’re celebrating their health, but soon, very soon, they’ll wish they’d let that bomb go off.

Days of Our Lives Transcript

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[Soft dramatic music]

Xander: Laying out your sunday best?

Sarah: [Laughs] Uh, I have decided to make an appointment with my old department head at the hospital. Hoping to get reinstated there.

Xander: You should be. You didn’t do anything wrong.

Sarah: Well, let’s hope that he and the board feel that way. I have to convince them that everything that I went through didn’t change what kind of doctor I am. Just gonna start getting my old life back.

Xander: Well, if what you want is your old life back, we could finally get married.

Sarah: Mm, you just let me know what day, and I will be there.

Xander: Well, how does today sound?

Jennifer: Jack, I didn’t hear you come in.

Jack: I know. Is something wrong?

Chad: What do you think you’re doing?

Melinda: Looking for paperwork on a case that I’m prosecuting, not that it’s any of your business.

Chad: I’m sorry, the man who murdered my wife and stabbed my best friend is walking around free, and you’re looking through papers?

Melinda: Okay, believe me, I share your frustration, mr. Dimera, but commissioner hernandez is on this case personally.

Chad: He is?

Melinda: That’s right, and i just found out that he knows where leo stark is hiding out.

Chad: For real?

Melinda: He should be putting mr. Stark in handcuffs as we speak.

Rafe: I checked the parking lot and the entire building. Leo was gone long before we got her.

Sloan: I don’t understand. He promised he’d wait for me.

Rafe: Did he? Because I’m guessing that he knew I was coming, and that’s why he left in such a hurry.

Sloan: I don’t know how he would know that. It’s not like I tipped him off.

Rafe: Stop lying to me. Stop lying, because you were the only one who knew. You double-crossed me, counselor.

Sloan: What? No, I didn’T. I–I wouldn’T.

Rafe: Stop lying. Now where the hell is leo?

[Machines beeping]

[Dramatic music]

Sonny: Are you a nurse?

Leo: Bitch, please. It’s me.

Sonny: Leo?

Leo: Thank you.

Sonny: Why are you dressed like a nurse?

Leo: It’s not a fashion statement, I’ll tell you that. It was the only way I could get in here to see you.

Sonny: What is–what am i doing here? What happened?

Leo: You don’t remember somebody stabbing you in the back?

Sonny: Oh, my god.

Leo: Think, sonny, I’m counting on you. I need you to tell me who did this to you.

Sonny: It was…

Leo: Come on, out with it.

Sonny: It was you.

Male announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “days of our lives.”

[Soft orchestration]

Leo: No, no, no! You are confused, and for once, it’s semi forgivable. Just take some deep breaths and think hard.

Sonny: You snuck in here so you could finish me off.

Leo: Sonny, I did not stab you, and I am not here to hurt you.

Sonny: [Groans] But you were there.

Leo: Yes, yes I came to your office saying that I wanted to declare a truce between us, and you agreed, sort of, and then I left. I only came back because I needed my parking ticket validated. It is criminal what titan charges for parking.

Sonny: More criminal than trying to kill me?

Leo: Sweetheart, when I came back, you were on the floor with a knife in your back. Somebody came in after I left the first time, and that someone stabbed you. Please, sonny, my life is on the line here. Don’t tell me you don’t remember who that someone was.

Melinda: There is no doubt in my mind that leo stark murdered your wife, and then he made an attempt on sonny kiriakis’ life too. So you can be confident that his prosecution begins the moment commissioner hernandez brings mr. Stark in here in handcuffs.

Chad: Can I hang around? I’d like to see that with my own two eyes.

Melinda: Yeah, I don’t have a problem with that.

Chad: If it is leo, what happens to gwen rizczech, his partner in crime.

Melinda: Rest easy. She’s still in custody.

Gwen: Not anymore.

[Dramatic music]

Xander: Come on, we’d be an old married couple by now if it wasn’t for gwen.

Sarah: Mm, I still can’t believe that she tried to make it seem like I killed abigail. She’s still obsessed with you. I hope you know that.

Xander: Yeah, well, let’s prove to her and whole rest of the world that she can’t keep us apart anymore. I mean, after everything we’ve been through, I don’t want to wait another minute.

Sarah: Mm.

Xander: And it’s not like gwen can get in our way now. She’s locked up.

Sarah: Would be a shame to waste such an opportunity.

Xander: Right?

Sarah: Mm-hmm.

Xander: So is that a yes? Can I get your mom on the phone?

Sarah: Could we maybe put it off for a little longer?

Xander: Why?

Sarah: Mm, I was just kind of hoping we could get a jump on the wedding thing.

Xander: Oh.

Sarah: Mm.

[Tender music]

This is the sound of nature breathing.

Jennifer: A lot of things are wrong, jack. You know it as well as I do.

Jack: I’m talking about those pills in your hand.

Jennifer: I’m glad you didn’t see me going through doug and julie’s medicine cabinet trying to find the empty one. I had to lie through my teeth to get the pharmacist to refill it.

[Sighs] These? I’ve been having headaches. Kayla gave me prescription-strength ibuprofen.

Jack: You didn’t tell me about the headaches.

Jennifer: Well, you’ve had enough going on.

Jack: Well, I’ll just get you some water so you can take one of those.

Jennifer: Oh, no, you don’t have to. Just seeing you makes me feel much better.

Jack: Mm.

Jennifer: I don’t need a pill.

Jack: [Sighs] Ah. Jennifer, there’s something I have to tell you.

Jennifer: Well, from the look on your face, I’d say it’s not good. What now?

Jack: I hired a lawyer to represent gwen.

Melinda: I don’t know how you’ve managed this, but don’t go anywhere.

[Phone beeps]

Chad: How’d you get out of your cell?

Melinda: There’s not a single officer in the squad room, and a prisoner has escaped.

Gwen: I did not escape.

Chad: Yeah, then how’d you get here?

Gwen: Sonny kiriakis was stabbed last night, and I was locked up, so my lawyer convinced the judge that there is evidence of a connection between abigail’s death and sonny’s stabbing and that what leo said to the police was just to frame me for something that he did. You let leo go to go after sonny. Well done. You know, you might want to advise the kiriakis family to sue the da’s office.

Melinda: Mr. Stark’s guilt does not prove your innocence, so don’t leave town.

Chad: Where are you going?

Melinda: To get answers from a more reliable source than her, and then I’m gonna fire the ada that blew this hearing this morning.

Chad: You must be feeling very pleased with yourself.

Gwen: I’m free because I’m innocent, and leo will be arrested, and then you will see that he was lying about me.

Rafe: How did you signal leo that I was coming with you?

Sloan: You heard my end of the phone call. I didn’t say a word about you. He must have figured it out on his own. You’re wasting your time doing that.

Rafe: Do you remember when i told you if you didn’t help me find leo, I was gonna charge you as an accessory? You are about two minutes from being in handcuffs.

Sloan: Oh, go for it. It’s a bogus charge, and it’s never gonna stick.

Rafe: It’s never gonna stick? You’re about to find out how sticky I can make things for you.

Sonny: Well, if you’re not trying to kill me, why are you still holding on to the call button?

Leo: Try being accused of murder sometime. It makes a person very cautious.

[Sighs] Look, sonny, I knew what I was risking by coming here, but i basically can’t trust anyone right now, not even my lawyer. You are the only one who can get me out of this jam

Sonny: You can’t make me say what you want to hear.

Leo: Remember that truce I mentioned? Go back to that conversation. Use your second most precious muscle and concentrate.

Sonny: I said we’d never be friends… but we’d leave each other alone. Something like that.

Leo: And then what?

Sonny: And then you left.

Leo: What ese?

Sonny: Then I sat down at my desk. A few minutes later, I had to get something from a filing cabinet, and my back was to the door, and then I heard a noise. I went to turn around, but then something hit me in the back, and I had, like, this… searing pain. And then that’s it. It just goes black.

Leo: You didn’t get a look, not even a little peek?

Sonny: I can’t clear you, leo. It could’ve been you.

Leo: Who it was is the person who is trying to frame me. If I did this, you think I would’ve left my list behind for the cops to find?

Sonny: Sorry, what list?

Leo: Oh. Okay, don’t take this the wrong way, but I made an enemies list.

Sonny: Oh, my god.

Leo: You were at the top, you and abigail and brady and chloe and everyone who put in the time and trouble to bust up craig and me.

Sonny: You had to make a list? You couldn’t just keep it in your head?

Leo: It was satisfying, all right? But somebody found that list, and they brought it to your office. Then they stabbed you, left it on your desk, and they crossed off your name and abigail’s name. I did not do that. Well, I did cross off abigail’S.

Sonny: You killed abigail?

Leo: Not because I killed her. Because she was dead, which does make a person less of a threat, and that’s not the point.

Sonny: Then what is your fricking point?

Leo: Somebody is trying to make me look like I’m a fricking serial killer! My asthma felt anything but normal.

Jennifer: So you hired a lawyer for gwen without talking to me first?

Jack: It was a kneejerk reaction. I’m so sorry. God knows you’d never do anything so major without telling me. But gwen couldn’t have stabbed sonny, so maybe she’s not lying when she said she didn’t kill abigail, and I couldn’t let her go back to prison for something that she didn’t do.

Jennifer: I guess not.

Jack: Jennifer… I made gwen a part of our lives. I asked you and abigail to accept her, and you both did. When I believed that gwen killed abigail… I didn’t even know how to face you. But you were understanding then, and I’m asking you to be understanding now.

Jennifer: So you feel that leo only pointed the finger at gwen to divert attention from himself?

Jack: He set her up, and I bought it. Everybody did. Look, she’s no saint, obviously, but she’s– she deserves a whole lot better than she got from me.

Jennifer: And you feel the need to make up for it.

Jack: That’s why I did what I did today. Please, jennifer, tell me that it’s okay. The last thing I want to do is make all of this harder for you than it already is.

Gwen: You must be wishing that my father left me in jail.

Chad: Something like that.

Gwen: I told you the truth when you came to see me. I didn’t kill abigail. Leo set me up.

Chad: Now don’t play the martyr. You can’t pull it off. I wouldn’t put it past you and leo to point the finger at each other just to muddy the case against either one of you.

Gwen: Okay, you believe that at your peril.

Chad: What peril?

Gwen: Do you remember, I told you that leo had made a list of all of his enemies. Now abigail is dead, sonny is in intensive care, and they were both on that list, and so are you. The da has put leo out on the streets at my expense. What if leo decides to come after you next?

Leo: I have been cutting you some slack because of the condition you’re in, but I don’t have all the time in the world. Are you gonna tell the cops I did this to you?

[Phone rings]

[Phone beeps]

Leo: I have laid this out for you in a very logical way, and you’re looking at this call button like it’s a lifeline.

Sonny: Gee, I wonder why. I regain consciousness, and the first thing I see is you dressed like a nurse from an R.L. Stine book. How do I know you don’t have a weapon in that padded bra?

Leo: If you remember last night, you remember that you and I kind of had a moment. Your big brother alex had just threatened to kill me, and I was scared. I begged you to tell him that you and I were okay. I practically got down on my knees, and I don’t do that for just anybody. Well, actually, I do, but not for apologies. Why would I put myself through all that and then bump you off? I would’ve cut to the chase and saved myself a lot of humiliation. Please, sonny, please tell me you get what I’m saying here.

[Door clicks]

Nurse: Mr. Kiriakis, you’re awake. No matter who you are,

Nurse: I have to let your doctor know that you’re making such good progress.

Leo: No need, hon. I’ve already done that. Doctor is on his way. Right, mr. Kiriakis?

Sloan: Straight to voicemail. Anything else I can do to prove that leo and i aren’t in cahoots.

Rafe: Okay, fine. Maybe he got spooked like you said, and maybe you set me up. All I know is that I was wrong to trust you because now leo stark is back on the streets, and my investigation is back to square one!

[Line trilling] Yeah, any word on the apb? Damn. No, I lost stark. Listen, set up a quadrant search using my location as a starting point. Okay. No, I’ll alert the da.

Melinda: [Sighs] Here, your personal affects. Everything you signed a receipt for is in there. Oh, except for the sarah mask. We’re keeping that as a souvenir.

Gwen: Oh, you have to let me go because you took the word of a born liar. You know what? Do me a favor, darling. How about you do a decent job this time? Get justice for this man and for his children. Nobody should have to suffer the way that they did.

[Soft dramatic music]

Gwen: [Sighs] Thank god this bloody nightmare is finally over for me.

Chad: Talk about a get out of jail free card.

Gwen: I see this as a sign to take hold of a new lease on life. But right now, there’s somebody that I need to thank.

Jennifer: I guess I understand why you’d do this for gwen. In your shoes, I’d probably do the same thing.

Jack: Thank you. Thank you.

[Doorbell rings] I– um…

Xander: Um, may we come in?

Jack: Yes, of course. Of course, please. Uh, jennifer, look who’s here.

Sarah: I hope we’re not intruding.

Jennifer: Oh, no, of course you’re not.

Xander: Obviously we know how bad things are for you right now. We just–I don’t know. That’s kind of why we were here. We thought maybe we could pick up your day a bit.

Jennifer: Oh, well, that would be wonderful.

Jack: So what’s up?

Xander: Jack, we’re finally doing it. We’re getting married today.

Jack: Today?

Jennifer: Oh!

Xander: We were hoping that the two of you might be our witnesses.

Jack: Well–

Jennifer: Oh.

Jack: That–we’d be honored.

Jennifer: We definitely would, oh!

Sarah: Really?

Jack: Yes.

Jennifer: It’s so wonderful to see people getting their lives back on track.

Jack: Thank you, sarah. So when and where?

Sarah: My mom is meeting us at city hall.

Xander: Yeah, we didn’t feel right asking her to use her house because everything with sonny.

Jennifer: Oh, why don’t you get married here?

Sarah: Really?

Jennifer: Yes. This is your family home.

Xander: Oh, well, we wouldn’t want to put you out.

Jack: You’re not, you’re not.

Jennifer: You’re definitely not. It would be a blessing to have a cause for celebration again.

Sarah: Okay, yeah, let’s do it.

Jack: All right!

Jennifer: Yay!

[Laughs] Wonderful.

Jack: Wonderful, yes.

Jennifer: I cannot believe this. You look so beautiful. Oh, you look so handsome. Oh, my gosh. Some days, it felt like asthma was holding me back.

Sonny: Nurse leona here is right. Uh, he called– she called my doctor, and he is on his way.

Nurse: Then it looks like you’re in good hands.

Sonny: Very.

[Soft dramatic music]

Leo: You believe me, don’t you?

Sonny: I better not regret this.

Leo: If you believe I didn’t do this to you, then you also believe I’m being framed.

Sonny: I do. And whoever it is, they seem to hate both of us.

Sloan: Did the da chew you out?

Rafe: Oh, yeah.

Sloan: Good.

Rafe: Okay, so leo took off about 45 minutes ago. He probably took oak street because it has the lightest traffic. Oh, my god, I’m such a moron.

Sloan: Wow, finally you say something I agree with.

Rafe: You know what else is on oak street? University hospital. Sonny’s in the icu there.

Sloan: Hernandez! Ugh. You still have my keys!

Maggie: Oh, let’s hope the third time is the charm. This wedding is long overdue.

Xander: Couldn’t agree more.

Maggie: So where is sarah?

Xander: Well, she said she needed to freshen up. I mean, I thought she looked perfect as she was.

Maggie: Well, maybe she wants to make a bit of an entrance. That’s the bride’s right, mm.

Jennifer: Aren’t these beautiful? We can put them all around.

Maggie: Okay, well, let me help you.

Jennifer: Oh, great.

Jack: I haven’t seen jennifer smile in a long time. Thanks for making us a part of this day.

Xander: Oh, you’re my mate. Wouldn’t be right without you here. I wanted to ask you the last time we tried to do this, but, you know, it was too soon.

[Sighs] What a bad day that turned out to be.

Jack: The only reason sarah was arrested was because of gwen. I am so sorry for all of that.

Xander: Hey, that wasn’t any of your doing, jack.

Jack: About gwen, um…

Xander: What about her?

Jack: [Sighs] Never mind. It can wait.

Maggie: Well, I wasn’t expecting to see you again today. How’s it going?

Jennifer: Uh, I feel much better. Thank you so much for talking with me.

Maggie: Oh, anytime. You’re the one who had the strength to throw out those pills. That was a very big deal. What did jack say when you told him?

Jennifer: I haven’t had the chance to talk with him about it yet. There’s been so much going on.

Maggie: Huh. So what? What’s been going on?

Jennifer: Huh?

Maggie: Oh, hi.

Jennifer: Look at you!

Maggie: You look lovely and so happy.

Sarah: Well, for a while there, I didn’t think that this kind of happiness was possible for me anymore.

Jennifer: We made you a bouquet. Are you ready?

Sarah: Yes. Xan, my baby. What do you say? You want to get married?

Xander: I say yes.

[Tender music]

Maggie: Oh. Yes, yes, yes, yes.

[Muffled speech and laughter]

[Dramatic music]

My moderate to severe plaque psoriasis…

Maggie: [Laughs]

Xander: All right.

Jennifer: Yay! Oh, my goodness.

Gwen: What’s going on?

Sarah: Yes, good.

Gwen: Maybe I should just go.

Xander: Yes.

Maggie: Oh, wonderful. Dearly beloved, we are gathered today to join xander and sarah in marriage. Marriage is an honorable state, one that should not be–

Xander: Maggie, um, would you mind if we just skip straight to the good bits, and if we could avoid the whole “does anyone object?” Part, that’d be great.

Maggie: Gotcha. Okay, you and sarah, um, have prepared your vows a year ago. Well, now you get a chance to say them out loud. Why don’t you start?

Xander: I…

Sarah: What?

Xander: I can’t remember my speech. I went over it and over it and over it, and I just– my mind has gone completely blank.

[Laughter]

Maggie: Well, then, you know, why don’t you just say what’s in your heart right now?

Xander: Right. Your just… you are the best thing that has ever happened to me.

[Sighs] Being loved by someone like you, I… it’s more than i ever dreamed of. And when I thought I’d lost you, I… it was like nothing mattered anymore. And I did the sort of things that I used to do before I knew you because i decided that, well, happiness must not be on the cards for me because you are my happiness, sarah, and then a miracle happened because of abigail. You came back to me, and now I’m gonna spend the rest of my life taking care of you and being so very grateful for that miracle.

Sarah: [Laughs]

[Chuckles] I feel like I’ve been entrusted with this wonderful secret ’cause I know the real you, the xander you were born to be before life made you bitter and angry, before I knew that I loved you, you became my friend, my crude, pushy, unfailingly loyal friend, and I found myself just wanting to get to know you better, and something told me that if I did, it would be the gift of a lifetime, and it was. The night before our first wedding, I remember thinking that I had gotten everything I’d ever wanted. What an awful journey we went after that, right?

[Laughs] I thought that I lost you forever, but here we are, and I get to spend the rest of my life with the love of my life, my husband. That’s you.

[Chuckles]

Maggie: Oh, that is so beautiful, both of you. And now do you, xander cook, take sarah horton to be your wedded wife, to cherish her in love and in friendship, in strength and in weakness, in success and in disappointment, and will you love her faithfully today, tomorrow, and as long as the two of you shall live?

Xander: I do.

Maggie: And do you, sarah horton, take xander cook to be your wedded husband, to cherish him in love and in friendship, in strength and in weakness, in success and in disappointment, and will you love him faithfully today, tomorrow, and for as long as the two of you shall live?

Sarah: I do.

Maggie: Tell me you have the rings.

Xander: Oh, no, I do. I do. I do. I definitely do.

Sarah: Oh.

Xander: I’ll give you this one.

Sarah: [Laughs]

Xander: Okay.

[Tender music]

[Laughter]

Maggie: Well, now I’m overjoyed to finally pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride!

[Applause]

Sonny: Oh, my god, I hope I’m not making a huge mistake trusting you.

Leo: You think I’m lying? Still?

Leo: Well, gwen’s in jail. Who else would’ve done this to me

Leo: Girl, if I knew the answer to that, you think I’d be here? I’d be spilling my guts to salem’s finest.

[Phone rings] Ugh, I have to take this.

Sonny: You know more than you’re telling me.

Leo: Hey, sloany.

Sloan: I am stuck at this dive motel, and you’re not here.

Leo: Sorry, I can’t trust anyone anymore. I thought it was a trap.

Leo: That’s exactly what it was. The police commissioner said he’d arrest me if I didn’t help him out.

Leo: Traitor! Ever hear of a malpractice suit?

Sloan: Shut up and listen to me.

Leo: Why?

Sloan: I better not get disbarred for this. Where are you?

Leo: Why would I tell you anything about my location?

Sarah: Because commissioner hernandez thinks you’re at the hospital to finish off sonny kiriakis. Do not go anywhere near that place. He’s headed there now.

Leo: What? When did he leave?

Sarah: He should be there any minute.

Jennifer: [Laughs]

Sarah: [Giggles]

Xander: What the bloody hell are you doing here?

Gwen: I’m sorry. I’m sorry, I– I didn’t mean to intrude. I–

Xander: What did you mean to do?

Gwen: [Sighs] If I’d have known that this was going on–

Xander: No, no, why aren’t you in jail?

Gwen: My new lawyer convinced the judge to release me. They’re looking for leo now. I– I’m sorry. I really didn’t mean to ruin your wedding. I can see now that you both are meant to be together.

Xander: No thanks to you.

Gwen: I–I just wanted to come here and say thank you for having my back yet again. God knows I’ve done nothing to deserve it. Right, I’m gonna leave now. Just go back to your celebrations. I had no intention of hurting abigail that night. It was just my desperate attempt to get sarah away from xander. And one more thing. I didn’t kill laura. Her death really was an accident, and I told abigail that, too, and she believed me. I hope you will too.

Jennifer: I’ll have to think about it.

Gwen: [Sighs] I wish you a world of happiness.

[Soft dramatic music]

Sarah: Well, at least she didn’t show up in time to object.

Xander: She’s gone now, hopefully for good.

Flo, you’re here.

[Soft dramatic music]

Gwen: What the hell is this? What’s happened here?

Gwen: [Sighs] Thank god it’s still here.

Xander: Well, so gwen told us to enjoy this moment, and that’s exactly what i intend to do. This is the first day of my life with the missus, and I intend to celebrate the hell out of it.

Maggie: Oh, I like that.

Jack: That sounds really good.

Xander: Okay.

Sarah: My goodness.

Jennifer: Oh, here he is.

Sarah: Thank you.

Jack: And you. For you.

Maggie: Ah, thank you, sir.

Jack: For you, my darling.

Jennifer: Thank you.

Maggie: Okay.

Jack: All right, it’s time for a toast. To mr. And mrs. Xander cook.

Maggie: Here, here!

Jennifer: Cheers!

Sarah: Cheers, cheers.

[Chuckles]

Xander: [Sighs]

Maggie: Oh, look at him!

[Laughs] He needs more.

[Laughter]

Gwen: [Sighs]

[Elevator chimes]

Rafe: Excuse me, I need an update on sonny kiriakis.

Nurse: He’s regained consciousness.

Rafe: Oh, that’s great. When was the last time someone checked in on him?

Nurse: There’s another nurse with him right now.

Rafe: Okay, what’s her name?

Nurse: I think mr. Kiriakis called her leona.

Rafe: And how well do you know her?

Nurse: I don’T. I’ve never seen her before.

Rafe: Oh, my god.

[Dramatic music]

Rafe: Hey, leo was here?

Sonny: Yeah, you just missed him.

Rafe: Oh, my god.

Nurse: Nurse leona, the commissioner of police would like to talk to you.

[Elevator chimes]

Leo: Sorry, doll. I’m on my break.

Days of Our Lives Transcript

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Jennifer: I can’t believe someone did that to sonny.

Maggie: Thank you, sweetie.

Jennifer: Did you sleep at all last night?

Maggie: Oh. A while, finally.

Jennifer: How’s victor taking it?

Maggie: Well, he’s doing his best to be strong, you know, for justin’s sake, but I’m really worried about him.

Victor: Young man in his prime gets stabbed in the back and the only thing this rag can worry about is money. Leo stark ought to be eradicated from the planet. Should’ve done it myself a long time ago.

Alex: This is on me, uncle vic.

Victor: Alex. What are you talking about?

Alex: I had the chance to take care of stark last night and I didn’t do it. If sonny doesn’t make it out of this, I’ll never forgive myself.

[Phone rings]

Sloan: I don’t appreciate being summoned.

Rafe: You know what I don’t appreciate? Deranged killers freely roaming my streets, so why don’t you tell me where leo stark is?

Sloan: [Sighs]

[Knock on door]

Leo: Nobody’s supposed to know I’m here.

Chad: Stark. Open the door.

Leo: Chad? Oh, god. What do I do?

Chad: Open the door, or I’m gonna kick it in!

Leo: I’m coming. Chad, you don’t understand!

Chad: I understand plenty. You murdered my wife and my best friend. And now, it’s your turn to die.

Male announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “days of our lives.”

[Soft orchestration]

Chad: You recognize this? You used it on abigail and sonny. I went through a lot of trouble to steal this from the police evidence room and it was worth it because now, I’m gonna use it to rid the world of you.

Leo: Please don’t do that. I’m begging you.

Chad: Begging, begging. Did my wife beg you before you stuck this into her? Did she beg you to think about our kids?

Leo: I didn’t kill abigail, I swear to god!

Chad: See, sonny, sonny, sonny didn’t even have a chance to beg. You just snuck up on him and now, he’s dead.

Leo: He’s dead?

Chad: You stabbed him in the back like the coward you are.

Leo: I am. I am a total coward. That’s why I couldn’t have stabbed anybody. I pass out if I see blood. I didn’t do any of this!

Chad: Shh. You think that I am gonna believe a word that you say?

[Flesh squelches]

Leo: [Groans]

[Dramatic music]

Chad: [Sighs]

Leo: [Gasps]

[Panting]

[Elevator bell dings]

Chad: No, no, no, don’t tell me that sonny–

Justin: No, no, no, no, no. He’s alive.

Chad: [Sighs]

Justin: He’s just in the icu.

Chad: Okay, he made it through the night. That’s a good sign.

Justin: Yes, yes, but the knife did a lot of damage. His surgeon said that he’s still critical, but stable.

Chad: Thank, god. I thought when I saw the two of you talking, I–

Mr. Kiriakis.

Justin: Yes. How’s sonny?

He’s still holding his own, but the doctor said you could see him now.

Justin: Oh, thank you.

Chad: I can’t believe this.

Stephanie: Sonny’s tough. He gets it from the johnson side. We don’t mention that to victor.

Chad: [Chuckles]

Stephanie: He has so much to live for. He’ll pull through.

Chad: Yeah, he has to. I don’t think I can handle losing anyone else I love right now.

Sloan: You already had to drop the charges against leo, now you want to pull him in?

Rafe: Oh, yeah.

Sloan: Why?

Rafe: Hmm. This.

Sloan: [Chuckles] So? That’s a steak knife. Look, I’ve got somewhere to be, so could you just get to the point?

Rafe: Last night, chad dimera went to sonny kiriakis’ office and he found sonny lying on the floor with this knife stuck in his back and leo stark standing over him. So could we knock off the games now? Some days, it felt like asthma was holding me back.

Rafe: Your client and sonny hate each other.

Sloan: Did chad see leo stab sonny?

Rafe: No.

Sloan: Did anybody else?

Rafe: Not that I’m aware of.

Sloan: So no witnesses. Isn’t it possible that chad walked in just as leo was trying to administer first aid to mr. Kiriakis?

Rafe: Not with their history.

Sloan: What history?

Rafe: Well, leo blames sonny for ruining his romance with his last mark and you know, he used to work for sonny at titan, so he knew how to talk his way through security. And his fingerprints are all over the handle of that knife– means, motive, and opportunity.

Sloan: Maybe leo was trying to pull the knife out. Some people panic, you know? They do stupid stuff.

Rafe: Oh, you got an explanation for everything, don’t you? You know, maybe you can use those talents to explain why the coroner also believes that that knife was used in another murder of one of leo’s enemies, abigail dimera.

Victor: The only person to blame for what got done to sonny is leo stark.

Alex: I know that, but–

Victor: No buts. Don’t go trying to make this your personal tragedy. And as far as leo stark is concerned, that little weasel’s gonna rue the day he ever laid a finger on a kiriakis.

Leo: [Groans] I’ve been on hold forever. Was I cut off by that? Yeah. Yo. This is sonny kiriakis’ brother, alex, just calling to find out how my kid brother’s doing. Oh, that’s wonderful. I mean, awesome. Yeah, thanks a lot.

[Cell phone beeps]

[Sighs] Sonny’s still alive, which means I can’t be framed for another murder. Which means all I have to do is figure out the name of the rat who is setting me up.

[Sighs]

Stephanie: I hear you found sonny.

Chad: [Clears throat]

Stephanie: Did you get any sleep at all? I don’t suppose you’ve had any breakfast. I need to make myself useful, so I’m gonna go down to the cafeteria and get you whatever doesn’t look disgusting.

Chad: Oh, I can’t eat. Not until I know sonny’s okay.

Stephanie: Well, it may be a while before we know that. I don’t want you passing out from low blood sugar.

[Elevator bell dings]

Chad: Will.

Will: Where’s sonny?

Stephanie: He’s in the icu. I’ll show you where it is.

[Tense music]

[Monitor beeping]

Justin: You were always a good sleeper, even when you were a baby. And when you did wake up in the middle of the night, you never cried. Your mom and I would just hear you babbling to yourself in your crib and one of us would go in. Your mom used to sing a song. The same song.

Sleep my child

and peace attend thee

all through the night

guardian angels

god will send thee

all through the night

[Cries] I’d give anything to hear her sing that again.

[Crying] I love you, sonny. Please, you have to come back to us. I can’t lose you too.

Will: Justin.

Justin: Will. Will, you made it. Thank, god.

Will: When did he get out of surgery?

Justin: Not till the middle of the night. They didn’t want to reverse the anesthesia, so we have to just wait for him to come out.

Will: Is it okay?

Justin: Oh, yeah. Please.

Will: Hey. Hey, sonny, it’s me. I’m here. I’m here.

It’s started. Somewhere between a cuddle

Jennifer: And now, I’m going to fix you something to eat.

Maggie: No, you’re not. Please, come and sit down.

Jennifer: [Sighs]

Maggie: Tell me, jenn, how are you getting through these days?

Jennifer: Oh, well, jack really took a nosedive when gwen was charged. He’s a wreck. She put abigail through so much, but he never thought that she’d go this far.

Maggie: Sweetheart, I asked how you are, and you told me how jack is.

Jennifer: Well, it’s harder for him because of gwen.

Maggie: It’s just as hard for you. I know how it feels to lose a daughter, and I wasn’t as close to summer as you were to abigail. But she was your firstborn. She was your baby. Your friend.

Jennifer: I– believe me, aunt maggie, I know, but listen, people grieve differently. I mean, I’m okay. I have to be. Jack and chad and the kids, they’re…

[Sighs] They need me. Thomas and charlotte are having to go through life without a mother, and their father is really struggling. Someone has to be strong.

Maggie: You know what? I worry there’s no one to be strong for you.

Jennifer: [Sighs]

[Cell phone ringing] Oh. Oh, it’s the ad sales department at the paper.

Maggie: At a time like this?

Jennifer: Yes. I’m so sorry. I have to take it. Hello? Hi. Yes, it’s me. What’s up?

[Soft dramatic music]

Maggie: Pain killers. Oh, jennifer.

Alex: My brother’s fighting for his life. You want me to focus on business.

Victor: You’re damn right I do. When sonny gets better, and he will, I want him to come back to a company that’s thriving. That’s where you come in.

Alex: How? What are you talking about?

Victor: Do I have to draw you a picture? I want you to take over as interim ceo of titan.

Will: Are the doctors saying he’ll make a full recovery?

Justin: All they’re saying is that he’s holding his own, but that he’s not out of the woods.

Will: What does that mean?

Justin: They’re hopeful, but they’re monitoring his condition very closely.

Will: Okay. I mean, ’cause I can’t lose him.

Justin: I know. Sonny doesn’t want to lose you either. He’s not going to leave us now. He’ll pull through.

Will: Yeah, he has to.

[Monitor beeping]

[Elevator bell dings]

Stephanie: Chad. Here.

Chad: What’s in here?

Stephanie: A bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich. Have breakfast then go home and get some sleep.

Chad: I already told you. I’m not leaving sonny.

Stephanie: Sonny’s got his husband and his dad with him. You’re gonna need to spell him in a few hours, and you can’t do that if you’re exhausted.

Chad: The person that killed my wife and almost killed my best friend is on the loose, and you want me to go home and sleep?

[Cell phone beeps]

Sloan: The 911 log says that it was leo who called in for the ambulance.

Rafe: ‘Cause chad told him to.

Sloan: Already had to drop the charges against leo for abigail dimera. It sounds to me like you’re gonna have to do the same thing here. Your case is entirely circumstantial.

Rafe: Mm-hmm. Do you know actually, there is one piece of evidence that I haven’t told you about yet. You see, leo made a list of all the people that he was out to get.

Stephanie: How do you know that?

Rafe: We found this at the crime scene. Two names crossed off. Abigail and sonny.

Stephanie: More circumstantial evidence.

Rafe: I am not charging leo– yet, but I sure as hell am gonna talk to him and I am pretty sure you know where he’s at. So either you help me bring him in, or I’m gonna charge you as an accessory.

Stephanie: You can’t do that.

Rafe: Watch me.

Migraine attacks?

Victor: Well?

Alex: Why are they going after titan? My brother didn’t ask to get himself stabbed. This is just clickbait.

Victor: This is not a tabloid, alex.

Alex: No, I understand that. I get it. It’s a respectable publication. They’re threatening to lose confidence in titan.

Victor: Which I cannot have.

Alex: You want me to take over?

Victor: And I want stephanie johnson working full-time to get this pr crisis in control.

Alex: And you’re sure you want me working with stephanie? Wasn’t it just the other day, you told me that if it were up to you, you wouldn’t have steve johnson’s daughter wipe the floors at titan.

Victor: Yes, and I meant it, but sonny hired her and I think it’s about time she started to earn her keep.

Stephanie: Oh.

Chad: How is he? Did he know you were there?

Justin: I don’t know. Will’s with him now. He’s probably the best medicine for him.

Stephanie: [Sighs] Will looked scared to death.

Justin: We all are. Look, I’m gonna be in the chapel if anybody’s looking for me.

[Soft dramatic music]

Chad: I’m gonna go check on will.

Stephanie: Sure. I’ll wait for you here.

[Cell phone ringing]

[Cell phone beeps] This is stephanie.

Alex: Hey, it’s alex. I need to see you right away. Kiriakis study. Be there in ten.

Stephanie: But I’m–

Alex: But nothing.

[Cell phone beeps]

Stephanie: [Sighs]

Jennifer: Sorry about that. They had to have an okay on a big ad buy.

Maggie: I accidentally knocked this over.

Jennifer: Oh. I should’ve latched it.

Maggie: When I was picking up what I spilled, I– I found this.

Jennifer: Oh. Oh, those are doug’s pain meds. Julie asked me to fill it.

Maggie: Doug’s in pain?

Jennifer: That old racquetball injury.

Maggie: But doug hasn’t been playing racquetball in a long time.

Jennifer: Maybe it was something else.

Maggie: Hmm.

Jennifer: Maybe he had a fall and julie doesn’t want anybody to know about it. You know how proud they both are.

Maggie: Jennifer. You know you can tell me the truth.

Leo: Someone hates me enough to frame me for a murder and an almost murder, and I can’t figure out who it is. The people who hate me most are the same people who love sonny and abigail. It doesn’t make any sense.

[Cell phone ringing]

[Cell phone beeps] Hey, girl.

Sloan: Where are you, leo?

Leo: Look, this has been real and all, but your services are no longer needed.

Sloan: And what does that mean?

Leo: It means I’ll see you on the flip side. I’m out. Good bye.

Sloan: Wait a minute, leo. Don’t hang up. I can still help you.

Leo: And how are you gonna do that? Someone is trying to pin not one, but two crimes on me. Are you saying you can make those charges go the way of dvds and spiral perms?

Sloan: I want you to tell me exactly what happened in sonny kiriakis’ office.

Leo: What difference does it make? The cops already think I did it, so does chad.

Sloan: Did anyone see you do it?

Leo: No, because I didn’t!

Sloan: Then I can still help you.

Leo: Sonny had already been stabbed when I got back to his office. I’m the one who found him. You tell that to the cops and see how fast they change their opinion about me. I’ll wait. On second thought, I won’T.

Sloan: I believe you, leo.

Leo: You do?

Sloan: Yes. I know you didn’t murder abigail dimera and I know you’re too smart to try to kill sonny kiriakis. Someone is trying to set you up, and I want a chance to prove it. Just tell me where you’re at and I’ll come to you.

Leo: Sorry, girlfriend, it’s too late for that.

Sloan: I know it looks bad right now, but trust me. It will look even worse if you try to run. Leo. Are you still there? Leo, listen to me. I’m on your side.

[Sighs]

[Monitor beeping]

Will: [Sighs] Ari made it very clear to me that she’s not happy I was in la for so long. I’m really sorry I wasn’t here. Oh, gabi’s taking ari shopping today and I have a feeling that…

[Sighs] Ari’s gonna be the only elementary school student in designer clothes. And this is when you would say, “will, gabi is ari’s mother and she’s gonna spoil her every once in a while.” And that’s why I need you to wake up. To remind me not to sweat the small stuff.

Chad: And it’s all small stuff.

Will: [Chuckles] How long have you been here?

Chad: Long enough to know that gabi and ari are about to do some damage at the mall. Does arianna know?

Will: No. Gabi wanted to keep it from her until, you know, sonny gets better and I don’t know. I didn’t know what to do, so I just went along with it.

Chad: Well, it’s in the news.

Will: Yeah. Fortunately, ari’s not big on “the spectator.” Gabi’s gonna keep her off social media.

Chad: Okay. Well, I–I just wanted to get a look at him. I’ll leave you guys alone.

Will: Chad. Don’t go yet. Time. It’s life’s most precious commodity,

[Monitor beeping]

Chad: What’s up?

Will: [Sighs] I… I just can’t stop thinking that this is my fault.

Chad: Why?

Will: Sonny was obsessed with breaking up leo and chloe’s dad. And I had, you know, I had a lot of opportunities to get him to back off and I–

Chad: Wouldn’t have worked.

[Sighs] I’ve known sonny for almost as long as you have, and there was no way that he was gonna stand back and let leo scam craig the way he scammed you two.

Will: Yeah, I guess.

Chad: Face it. It’s just the guy you married.

Will: Yes, it is. And I love that guy so much.

[Dramatic music]

Stephanie: I was at the hospital. I haven’t even gotten a chance to see sonny yet. This had damned well better be important.

Victor: How’s sonny doing?

Stephanie: The doctors told justin he’s not out of the woods yet, but he’s stable.

Alex: Well, that’s great. That’s really great.

Stephanie: Will got there right before I left.

Victor: Managed to tear himself away from the city of angels, did he?

Alex: Come on, uncle vic.

Stephanie: So what am i doing here?

Victor: The doctors can take care of sonny. You two can see to it that he doesn’t come back to a company that’s tanked in his absence.

Stephanie: What’s the problem?

Alex: He’s talking about this.

Stephanie: [Gasps] Wow. They didn’t waste any time.

Victor: Wow? That’s all you have to say? You’re being paid a great deal of money to see to this sort of thing.

Stephanie: And I will.

Victor: But not alone. I want a kiriakis to supervise.

Stephanie: Which kiriakis?

Victor: Alex. I want you to put your heads together and work nonstop to salvage the reputation of my company. Is that clear? Is there something going on here that I’m not aware of? Some problem?

Stephanie: No. No problem at all. Alex and I are on it, right?

Alex: You bet.

Victor: Then why are you standing here? Get over to headquarters and get busy.

Maggie: How many of these have you taken?

Jennifer: [Sighs] None. I swear. They give doug 30 at a time. Count them.

Maggie: No, I don’t have to. I believe you.

Jennifer: I was thinking about taking them. I’m glad you didn’t see me going through doug and julie’s medicine cabinet trying to find the empty one. I had to lie through my teeth to get the pharmacist to refill it.

Maggie: How long have you been struggling with this?

Jennifer: God. Honestly, I… ever since I lost my mom.

Maggie: Oh, jennifer. And why didn’t you come and talk to me?

Jennifer: I don’t know. I guess I thought I was handling it. Then all of this happened with abigail.

Maggie: And you ran out of coping skills. Oh, sweetheart, I am so sorry that you’ve been struggling with this. I should have figured out that something was wrong.

Jennifer: I’ve been white-knuckling it, trying to hide the fact that I can barely make it through the day.

[Sniffles] Jack doesn’t have a clue.

[Chuckles]

Maggie: Jack isn’t an addict in recovery. I am, and I should’ve seen the signs. So how long has it been since you’ve gone to a meeting?

Jennifer: Oh, too long.

[Chuckles] I thought about it though. Just the thought though of… having to go and talk about abigail and admit that it made me want to use, just made me feel like such a failure.

Maggie: [Sighs] That’s the disease talking. It makes us feel bad about ourselves for needing help. I’ve been there before. You know you’ve found strength in admitting that you have a weakness.

Jennifer: Well, knowing and believing are clearly two different things.

Maggie: Mm. You were honest with me. That’s the first step.

Jennifer: Well…

Maggie: You know, there’s a meeting at the hospital every day at noon, and if we leave right now, we can just about make it. So what are you gonna do with those?

Jennifer: [Sniffles] Oh.

[Sighs]

Maggie: Second thoughts?

Jennifer: Yeah. But I know this is the right thing to do.

Maggie: Oh, I’m so proud of you.

Jennifer: [Sighs]

Maggie: Okay. Okay, let’s get to that meeting.

Jennifer: Okay.

Maggie: Okay.

Jennifer: [Chuckles]

Sloan: Leo, just tell me where you are. You need somebody by your side– somebody you can trust. Isn’t that why you hired me?

Leo: Chad walked in on me looking at sonny with a knife in his back. I am in major trouble here, sloan, and no offense, but johnnie cochran you are not.

Sloan: You haven’t given me a chance. Just tell me where you are. I’ll be right there. We’re gonna figure this out together.

Leo: Oh. I guess I don’t have a choice. I’m at the white dove motel, room 201. I’ll be under the bed.

Sloan: I’m on my way.

[Cell phone beeps]

Rafe: Well, hold on. Not so fast. Where is he?

Sloan: You want leo stark, well, then you’ll have to give me something that I want. My moderate to severe plaque psoriasis…

Rafe: I’m not bartering with you. We already have a deal in place. You got the information and now, I handle this.

Sloan: I’d never make that deal.

Rafe: What are you trying to pull?

Sloan: Nothing. When I see leo, I’ll recommend that we come in here and he give you a statement.

Rafe: Oh, and I’m supposed to just believe that?

Sloan: I’m not gonna sell out my client.

Rafe: Your client may have already committed one murder and attempted another.

Sloan: “May have” being the operative words. As far as I know, you’re still innocent in this country until proven guilty.

Rafe: You know, I already have enough to bring leo in on suspicion of attempted murder and you damn well know it. Now, you either tell me where he is or you’re gonna spend the night in a holding cell.

Sloan: Okay, but I’m coming with you.

Rafe: Forget it.

Sloan: No, mr. Stark has the right to have his attorney present while you question him and you damned well know that.

Rafe: All right. All right.

Sloan: But if we show up in a squad car, leo’s gonna be gone like the wind.

Rafe: Fine. We’ll take yours. But I’ll drive.

Sloan: [Scoffs]

[Dramatic music]

Leo: [Sighs] Oh, you better make it fast, sloanikins. A sister doesn’t have all day. Announcer: Type 2 diabetes?

Maggie: Hi, darling.

Victor: Oh, good. You’re back.

Maggie: [Sighs] Is there any news on sonny?

Victor: Well, he’s stable, but they have to keep him in the icu. Will’s with him now.

Maggie: So there’s hope. Oh, that’s wonderful, honey.

Victor: Where have you been?

Maggie: Oh, I’m sorry I was so long. I just thought I should stop by and see how jennifer’s doing.

Victor: And?

Maggie: Well, I’m glad I went by. She’s having a really hard time.

Victor: Well, in her situation, who wouldn’t be having a hard time?

Maggie: Exactly. But I think she’s feeling a little bit better now.

Victor: You seem to have that effect on people.

[Soft dramatic music]

Jennifer: [Sighs]

Alex: I just got a text from my dad. He said sonny’s vital signs are still holding steady.

Stephanie: Oh, that’s great.

Alex: Yeah, I guess his condition really improved after will got there to be with him.

Stephanie: Mm, well, I’ll bet so. Those two have something really special going.

Alex: Yeah, they do. I hope I have what they do someday. What are you working on?

Stephanie: The press release announcing you as interim ceo.

Alex: Huh.

Stephanie: Since you’re supervising everything I do, I assume you want to read it.

Alex: Come on. Give me a break.

[Sighs] That is pretty good.

Stephanie: [Scoffs] Pretty good? I made you sound like warren buffett.

Alex: Well, I’m sorry. Why, ms. Johnson, this press release is absolutely amazing.

Stephanie: That’s more like it.

Alex: Hmm. Just like you. Amazing.

Stephanie: Watch it.

Alex: I know. Boundaries.

Stephanie: Exactly.

Alex: I do have to say though, I am quite impressed the way you made my “vast experience cultivating an atmosphere of corporate inclusivity” and my “adeptness at vertical integration” sound almost sexy.

Stephanie: [Scoffs] What can I say? I’m really good at what I do.

Alex: You are not gonna get an argument from me.

[Smacks lips, sighs]

[Knocking on door]

Sloan: Leo. Open up. It’s me. Sloan. Leo, let me in.

Rafe: Let me try.

[Banging on door] Hey, stark! We know you’re in there! Open up the damn door!

[Dramatic music]

Sloan: Oh! Do you have to act like such a neanderthal?

[Scoffs]

[Sighs]

Rafe: All right, what the hell is going on?

Sloan: I don’t know. He told me he’d be here.

Rafe: Okay, well, obviously he lied to you. You still think he’s innocent?

Days of Our Lives Transcript

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Bonnie: Justin! Where are you? I thought we were ha-ha-having a late dinner.

[Laughs] What’s all this?

Justin: A picnic. I started to set it up on the patio, but I nearly got eaten alive by mosquitos. So I hope this is okay.

Bonnie: Aw, honey, it’s perfect.

Justin: Here you go. To my beautiful wife.

Bonnie: To my thoughtful husband. And here I thought we were gonna have takeout from buddy’s burger barn. And you went and dialed up that romance, cowboy.

Justin: I’ll admit that I may have been influenced by alex. I tell you, my son really seems to know how to impress the ladies.

Stephanie: I should get going, first day on a new job tomorrow.

Alex: You could be late. I’ll write you a note.

Stephanie: [Sighs] Would you just give up? I’m not just gonna fall into your arms because you’re handsome. Maybe that works on other women, but not me.

Alex: She thinks I’m handsome. Yes! Still in the game, baby.

Chloe: What word has an a and an n, but doesn’t end in t?

[Knock on door] Oh, hey, nicole. Glad you’re here. This game drives me crazy. What word starts with an a–

Nicole: Sex.

Chloe: Uh, no, there’s no a in sex.

Nicole: No. No, chloe. Sex, that’s what they’re having. Eric and jada are sleeping together.

Rafe: Jada? Hey, thought your shift ended hours ago.

Jada: It did. I’m just taking another look at the suspects in the abigail dimera case.

Rafe: Well, we now have gwen rizczech in custody. Leo stark told us that she confessed to him.

Jada: I know, but I don’t trust that guy.

Leo: Oh, sonny? I forgot to ask, do you validate? The parking rates here–sonny? My hit list. How did this get here? And what is that on it? Blood? Oh, my god, sonny! Sonny! Sonny, can you hear me?

[Panting] He’s dead.

Male announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “days of our lives.”

[Soft orchestration]

Nicole: So I knock on eric’s door, and jada answers– in a towel.

Chloe: Okay.

Nicole: So she gives me some song and dance about how she’s just taking a shower there because the air conditioning is broken, but what does an a/c being broken have to do–

Chloe: Okay, okay, can we just fast forward to the sex part?

Nicole: Yeah. Yeah, fine. Okay, so I tell her that I was relieved that she was just taking a shower, because when she answered eric’s door in just that towel, I was worried that maybe they slept together.

Chloe: Wait. You didn’t say that, did you?

Nicole: Yeah. Why wouldn’t I?

Chloe: Oh, my god.

Nicole: I was thrown off guard.

Chloe: Nicole, don’t you see how totally inappropriate that is?

Nicole: No, actually, I don’T.

Chloe: Telling the woman that you’re worried that she and eric had slept together? What are you, her mother?

Nicole: Can we drop the sarcasm, please?

Chloe: I just can’t believe you said that to a woman that you hardly know. Whoever she sleeps with, that’s none of your concern.

Nicole: Well, it is my concern who she sleeps with if I care about that person. A person who has been a good friend and I have a long history with.

Chloe: Okay, I don’t care if you’ve known eric since forever. This is a private matter between two people who are or are not having sex.

Nicole: Well, you didn’t let me finish.

Chloe: There’s more?

Nicole: Yeah, there’s more. She proceeds to tell me that they did sleep together.

Chloe: Probably ’cause you put her on the spot.

Nicole: You’re missing the point.

Chloe: The point being?

Nicole: That she and eric had sex.

Chloe: Well, good for them.

Nicole: That’s it? That’s all you’re gonna say?

Chloe: What do you want me to say? I’m so glad that jada confided in you, and you now finally know what eric’s and her relationship is, so that you can continue to obsess even more than you’ve been obsessing over this. I’m so happy for you.

Nicole: I am not obsessing. Why are you acting like I’m some kind of head case, and like I’m getting on your last nerve? This is important to me, chloe.

Chloe: I know it’s important. That’s why I’m worried about you. That you’re so freaked out that eric is with someone who isn’t you. And frankly, I don’t know how you’re not embarrassed that you interrogated that woman about her sex life. I’m a little embarrassed just hearing about it.

Nicole: Oh. Wow. Okay, well, forget I brought it up then. I’ll be on my way.

Chloe: Oh, for god’s sakes, don’t leave.

Nicole: Well, I don’t want to embarrass you, so I should go.

Chloe: Oh, fine, I am over my embarrassment. I just have a couple questions. What if eric and jada did have sex?

Nicole: What do you mean “what if” they had sex?

Chloe: What I mean is you should be reacting the same way I am, which is I could care less if they did. You should care less because, like I keep reminding you, you are a married woman.

Nicole: [Scoffs]

Rafe: Well, you are right not to trust leo. The guy would do just about anything to keep himself out of trouble.

Jada: Like point the finger at his best friend.

Rafe: Yeah. I mean, he turned on gwen last time when he gave us the mask. I’m sure that he thought that was gonna be enough to get himself off the hook.

Jada: But trask decided to just charge them both with murder.

Rafe: And suddenly, leo swears that gwen told him that she murdered abigail. Seems a little convenient, wouldn’t you say?

Jada: Yeah, I would. So you agree that you think leo’s making up this confession?

Rafe: Well, it’s certainly possible.

Jada: So then that would mean that gwen could be innocent.

Rafe: Well, I took gwen’s statement myself, and my gut tells me that she was telling the truth, that when she left abigail’s room, abigail was still alive.

Jada: Gwen said she threatened her sister with a syringe, not a knife?

Rafe: That’s right.

Jada: So we know abigail was stabbed to death. And if gwen is telling the truth, then what happened to this knife?

Rafe: That’s a good question.

Leo: Oh, sonny.

Sonny: [Groans]

Leo: [Gasps] You’re alive. Oh, thank god. Now what do I do? I’m gonna help you, that’s what I’m gonna do. Oh, ooh, I can’t, ’cause then they’re gonna think I did it. Ah. Ugh. But if I leave you here, you’re gonna bleed to death. Oh, there’s gotta be something. Um…I know. I’m gonna call an ambulance. Okay. Okay.

Chad: Leo? What the hell did you do?

When moderate to severe

ulcerative colitis persists…

Justin: You know, I was thinking…

Bonnie: Mm-hmm?

Justin: That maybe we should take this little party out to the hot tub.

Bonnie: Well, I like the way you think.

Justin: Okay. I’ll go upstairs and change into my trunks.

Bonnie: Who needs trunks?

Justin: Bonnie kiriakis, are you suggesting what I think you’re suggesting?

Bonnie: Well, no one’s here. Seems like a perfect opportunity to skinny dip with your wife. What do you say, counselor? Shall we? Oh, yeah, drop ’em. Right here, right now.

Alex: Dude, cheese. Ah. Mmm. Mm.

Stephanie: I know it’s late, but any chance you’re still serving?

Eric: I’m sorry, the kitchen’s closed. Stephanie?

Stephanie: Hey, cuz.

Eric: I didn’t know you were in town.

Stephanie: I know, I just got here a few days ago.

Eric: It’s so good to see you. It’s been forever.

Stephanie: I know. It feels like I’m playing catch-up with everyone.

Eric: Yeah, well, you missed a lot of what’s going on in salem, right? Not necessarily a bad thing.

Stephanie: Yeah, so I gather. Speaking of, I was really sorry to hear that you and nicole split up.

Nicole: I know that I’m married, chloe. That hasn’t escaped me. But does that mean that I can’t be concerned about eric?

Chloe: Mm, it kind of does.

Nicole: Why? We’re good friends. And we have a long history together.

Chloe: As you keep saying. But that history, nicole, is what’s making your concern fraught.

Nicole: Fraught? Why?

Chloe: Come on, don’t you see what this is? This is dangerous territory. Honey, you are wondering about your ex-husband’s sex life?

Nicole: Well, I’m wondering because he’s in a very vulnerable place right now. I mean, he just left the priesthood.

Chloe: So what?

Nicole: So he’s not ready for anything serious.

Chloe: [Sighs] What are you, his shrink?

Nicole: Did I not already ask you to drop the sarcasm?

Chloe: Okay, what if this is not serious? What if it’s just sex?

Nicole: No, no, it’s– it’s not. It’s never just sex with someone like eric.

Chloe: Ah, here we go.

Nicole: Wh–what do you mean “here we go”? When this first came up, even you said that eric wouldn’t just jump into bed with someone. He wouldn’t do that unless feelings were involved.

Chloe: Well, maybe feelings are involved.

Nicole: That’s why I’m worried. Oh. Nice. First sarcasm and now an eyeroll? Wonderful. Thank you.

Chloe: Nicole, if you were thinking about any of this rationally, which you definitely are not, you would see that your worries and your concerns and your curiosity are wacko given that eric is a grown man, and given that you are a married woman– a newlywed, in fact.

Nicole: Do you know how annoying that is to have that constantly pointed out to me like I’m oblivious to the fact? This has nothing to do with me being married or eric being a grown man. This is about a friend who has made a huge and disorienting change in his life and is involved with a virtual stranger.

Chloe: Well, she’s clearly not a stranger to eric if he’s having sex with her.

Nicole: It’s not “if,” chloe. He is… which is why I think we should hire someone to do a background check on her.

Chloe: On jada?

Nicole: Mm-hmm.

Chloe: Okay, you have lost your mind.

Jada: Finding that murder weapon would answer a lot of questions.

Rafe: Yeah. Yeah, it would. You know, forensics thinks it was a steak knife, one that went missing from the dimera place the night that abigail was murdered.

Jada: Well, if it doesn’t get found, trask is gonna have a really tough time getting a conviction.

Rafe: Oh, yeah, well trask already thinks that she’s gonna be able to get the conviction, especially now that she’s got leo’s testimony in her pocket.

Jada: At best, his testimony is hearsay. At worst, a lie. And all the evidence surrounding gwen is all circumstantial.

Rafe: And I told trask that I believe gwen. It doesn’t matter. She’s on a warpath. She wants a conviction, like, yesterday.

Jada: Even if it’s the wrong person?

Rafe: Yeah. I hear you. And we’re not gonna get justice by rushing through this and convicting the wrong person.

Jada: Well, let’s keep digging.

Rafe: Oh, yeah, we will. It’s just, um, we have to do it carefully.

Jada: Meaning?

Rafe: Meaning we need trask to believe that we are gathering evidence to convict gwen.

Jada: Meanwhile, leo stark is out running around free doing god knows what.

Rafe: Yeah.

Chad: You killed him?

Leo: No! No! He’s still alive!

Chad: What the hell happened?

Leo: I don’t know! I walked in and found him like this.

Chad: He has a pulse.

Leo: I told you.

Chad: Hey, it’s chad, buddy. I’m here, okay? I need you to stay with me. I need you to stay with me, okay, sonny? I’m right here, buddy. I have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

Rafe: Okay, I think I’m gonna take off.

Jada: Okay, goodnight.

Rafe: Okay. Listen, not that I don’t appreciate your dedication, but I don’t want my newest detective burning out. So maybe you should call it a night too.

Jada: Well, I did have tentative dinner plans with eric.

Rafe: Oh, yeah. My wife said you two were dating.

Jada: Nicole.

Rafe: Yep. That’s the one.

Jada: It’s kind of weird, right?

Rafe: What?

Jada: That I’m dating your wife’s ex-husband. I mean, I don’t know, that doesn’t seem a little, like, incestuous?

Rafe: Well, in this town, you kind of get used to it.

Jada: Like underground tunnels and secret rooms. In salem, it’s all normal.

Rafe: Mm-hmm. Yeah. For better or worse, it kind of is. You know, in fact, my wife was once married to a guy–twice–who was married to a gal–twice– who I was married to once.

Jada: Okay, I have to wait for my head to stop spinning.

[Laughter] So you don’t see any potential problems here?

Rafe: You mean, as far as nicole’s concerned? Why would there be a problem?

Nicole: So you slept with eric, huh? That’s kind of fast, isn’t it?

Jada: Excuse me?

Nicole: You just got to town.

Jada: Actually, mrs. Hernandez, it’s been a couple weeks.

Nicole: Don’t you remember I asked you to call me nicole? And yes, I know it’s been a couple of weeks, but as far as I know, you and eric have only been out on one date? Unless, of course, I’m mistaken about that.

Jada: I’m sorry, nicole, but how is this any of your business?

Rafe: Nicole’s not interested in eric’s love life. Why would she be? I mean, yes, right, nicole and eric, obviously, they have a history, but– jada, what is it? There’s something you’re not telling me.

Jada: You know what, I– I think I’m gonna go ahead and call it a night.

Rafe: No, no, no, no. No. ‘Cause you looked worried there for a second. Did eric say something to you?

Jada: It’s all good, boss. Enjoy your evening.

Chloe: Wait, so you want to do a background check on the woman that your ex-husband is dating?

Nicole: Why is that so weird? Like I said, nobody knows anything about jada.

Chloe: We know plenty. Her dad was a respected doctor here in salem. He’s one of steve johnson’s oldest friends.

Nicole: But what about her? Who knows what she could be hiding?

Chloe: Oh, my goodness, do you even hear yourself?

Nicole: Think about it, chloe. How many people have showed up in this town over the years and lied about who they really are and had this dark side that they didn’t want anyone to know about?

Chloe: Ooh. Well, I’m pretty sure that, you know, your husband, the police commissioner, who hired jada–I’m guessing that he probably did a background check to make sure she doesn’t have a secret past of being a serial killer. Come on.

Nicole: I’m not saying she’s a serial killer, okay? I’m just saying that–

Chloe: What? What? What are you saying?

Nicole: I don’t know, okay? I don’t–I don’t know! I don’t know.

Stephanie: I really am sorry it didn’t work out with you and nicole. Must be very painful.

Eric: It was rough at first, you know? But we’ve moved on. I mean, she’s with rafe now. And, you know, I’m dating.

Stephanie: Glad to hear that. And it’s going well?

Eric: It is. You know. What about you? Anyone special?

Stephanie: There was someone last summer, but as soon as september came, he totally ghosted me.

Eric: I’m sorry. But that was a year ago. Maybe it’s time for you to get back out there.

Stephanie: I don’t know. I’ve been mostly focused on work right now. Besides, the only guy who’s shown any real interest in me lately is a total jackass.

Alex: Dad, I’m telling you, stephanie is incredible. She’s like this goddess, yet she’s down-to-earth. And she’s–she’s– she’s cool, and she’s funny, and she’s smart. She’s everything I’ve ever looked for in a woman. I’m telling you, she is the one. I know it.

Justin: Really? I’m a little surprised to hear you say that. I don’t think you’ve ever talked like that about anyone.

Alex: Well, that’s because I’ve never met anybody like stephanie before. Just one problem.

Justin: What’s that?

Alex: Sonny won’t let me anywhere near her.

Bonnie: I thought he bats for the other team.

Alex: No, it’s this work thing. He hired stephanie to do pr for titan, so he’s insisting that I keep it strictly business. So here I am, completely in love, head over heels with this girl, and he’s telling me to back off. Talk about a killjoy.

Chad: What are you doing just standing there? Call an ambulance!

Leo: All right, sorry. I need an ambulance to titan headquarters! Sonny kiriakis was stabbed.

Chad: 12th floor, executive suite. The security will direct them.

Leo: Did you get that? Okay, thank you. They’re on their way. Is he gonna be okay?

Chad: You better hope so. ‘Cause if he dies, you die. -Hi, dr. Rick. It’s julie. -[ Gasps ] That’s me.

Chad: That’s it, sonny, all right, I just need you to hold on, okay? Where is that ambulance?

Leo: It’s on the way.

Chad: Did you really even call one?

Leo: What?

Chad: Well, this is what you wanted, right? Sonny bleeding out on the floor?

Leo: No! No! Chad, I didn’t do this. I showed up and he was like this. I–I came here to apologize!

Chad: Liar! After you lost craig, you made it very clear that you wanted revenge. Gwen told us you were gonna pick us off one by one. Well, you’ve done it.

Leo: No! No! No!

Chad: You killed abby. You stabbed sonny. You are gonna spend the rest of your life in a cage. Better yet, you’ll get the needle and go straight to hell! Where is the ambulance?

Leo: I’m gonna go check!

[Suspenseful music]

Justin: Sonny is being a smart ceo. It’s his job to protect titan.

Alex: And to support his big bro. Shouldn’t he want to see me with the woman of my dreams?

Justin: I’m sure he does. But you weren’t around when leo stark served sonny with a bogus sexual harassment lawsuit.

Alex: I heard all about that.

Justin: Yeah, well, sonny was innocent, obviously, and ultimately cleared, but the experience was devastating. So your brother just wants to keep you from going through the same hell that he did.

Alex: Dad, you really think stephanie would sue me?

Justin: I’d rather not find out.

Alex: Come on, dad, I mean–

Justin: Look, if she didn’t work for titan, I would say woo her to her heart’s content. But as long as she’s an employee of the company, the wisest course of action is to not get involved with her.

Alex: Have I told you how much I love having a lawyer for a father?

Justin: I hope so. Because I can help save you from these landmines that will blow up your life.

Alex: Dad, but–

Justin: I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. But really, my strong advice for you is to stay clear of stephanie.

Bonnie: Okay, with all due respect, I think that’s a load of crap.

Eric: Jackass, huh? What happened?

Stephanie: It’s no big deal. Let’s just–let’s just say the guy can’t take a hint.

Eric: He didn’t–

Stephanie: No. He’s not a predator or anything like that. He’s just relentless. He asked me to drinks. He asked me to dinner. He practically asked me to marry him. But I completely blew him off. It’s so not worth talking about. I want to hear about the woman you’re dating.

Eric: [Laughs] It’s new. It’s getting to know you kind of thing, you know, so far, so good, and so– actually, she’s right there. Um, stephanie, this is detective jada hunter, and jada, this is my cousin, stephanie johnson.

Jada: Oh, nice to meet you.

Stephanie: Nice to meet you. Wait, aren’t you marcus hunter’s daughter?

Jada: That’s right.

Stephanie: Steve and kayla johnson are my parents. I was at your eighth birthday part.

Jada: Oh, my god, steph! I didn’t know you lived in salem.

Stephanie: No, I haven’t for a long time. I just moved back to town. It is so great to see you. Hopefully, we can get together soon.

Jada: I’d like that.

Stephanie: I should get going. Have a good night, you guys.

Eric: Yeah, it was good to see you.

Stephanie: You too.

Jada: Goodnight.

Stephanie: Bye.

Jada: Bye.

Eric: Such a small world, right?

Jada: Yeah.

Eric: Hey, good news, your air conditioner is fixed.

Jada: Great. Thanks.

Eric: Hey. Is everything okay?

Jada: Uh, well, we really didn’t get a chance to talk this morning, since it was obvious that you needed to have a private conversation with your ex-wife.

Chloe: Nicole, I am not trying to be hard on you. I promise. I just think that you are overreacting.

Nicole: Yeah. So you keep telling me.

Chloe: Yeah, well, it’s not really registering with you.

Nicole: Chloe, I– I told you, I’m–I’m–

Chloe: You have concerns, concerns, I know. I keep hearing that. You are concerned when eric and jada went upstairs after their first date, and you called me a few days later concerned because you can’t stop thinking about eric.

Nicole: Yeah, I had a sex dream. Excuse me if I wanted to share it with someone I trust.

Chloe: Well, I’m glad that you did, but you also felt the need to share that with eric, over my very strong objections. I mean, come on, did you even see him?

Nicole: Yes. He came up the stairs with his toolbox while I was talking to jada.

Chloe: And?

Nicole: And, you know, she went back to her room to–to get dressed.

Chloe: Then what?

Nicole: Well, then– then eric asked me what I was doing there, and I told him I had a dream about him this morning.

Chloe: Oh. Oh, no, no, no.

Nicole: All right, relax. Relax. I chickened out. I chickened out about the sex part. Okay, and I told him that, in the dream, he came over to my house to make sloppy joes.

Chloe: Oh, wow, that might be even worse. Did he buy any of that?

Nicole: I don’t know. I think he did. But then–but then, he mentioned to me that he had a dream also. And in the dream, I knocked on his door to deliver a singing telegram. Oh–oh, my god.

Chloe: What?

Nicole: Well, if I lied about my dream, what if eric lied about his? What if he had a sex dream too? My asthma felt anything but normal.

Nicole: I mean, what if eric did what I did? What if he had a sex dream and lied about it?

Chloe: Well, I guess it’s possible. But that would be a huge coincidence.

Nicole: Oh. What, a bigger coincidence than us dreaming about each other on the same morning?

Chloe: Definitely. I mean, I dream about the people in my life all the time.

Nicole: Okay, so then it’s more likely for eric to dream of me delivering him a singing telegram than me giving him–

Chloe: Okay, I see your point.

Nicole: Right? It’s not so much of a stretch. It makes sense.

Chloe: Okay, well, I guess there’s really only one way to settle this.

Nicole: Okay, what’s that?

Chloe: Uh, get your phone and call him right now.

Eric: I’m sorry about this morning. I mean, I had no idea nicole was gonna stop by.

Jada: What was she doing here anyway?

Eric: She stopped by to pick up some takeout, you know? And she was here, and so she wanted to just see how I was doing.

Jada: Right.

Eric: It was just a friendly visit.

Jada: You sure about that?

Eric: I am. But obviously, you’re not.

Jada: No, I’m not. Uh, it’S… you know what, it’s none of my business, but let’s just drop it.

Eric: No, no, no. Let’s not. Please, if there’s something you need to tell me, just say it.

Jada: You know I told nicole that you and I slept together, right? Well, she just seemed a little too interested in that fact. And, I mean, especially since she is married to someone else.

Rafe: Stephanie?

Stephanie: Rafe?

Rafe: Hi.

Stephanie: Oh, it’s great to see you.

Rafe: You too.

Stephanie: Oh, that was a very nice, appropriate hug.

Rafe: That was–uh, okay. I don’t follow.

Stephanie: I was just remembering the time that your lookalike, “fake rafe,” got a little handsy.

Rafe: Ah, yeah. Yeah, that guy. He was a real lech.

Stephanie: Sounds like someone I know.

[Sighs]

Justin: Excuse me?

Bonnie: I’m sorry, but you’re dead wrong on this one, hon.

Justin: Mm. For trying to save titan from a lawsuit?

Bonnie: Damn straight. You cannot live your life fearing what might happen, honey.

Justin: It’s not fear. It’s common sense.

Bonnie: Oh, please. People these days are so afraid to take a chance that they are losing that one chance at real love. Who cares if someone sues you for sexual harassment?

Justin: How can you say that after what happened with harrison?

Bonnie: That was a completely different situation, justin. And so is what happened to sonny. Alex is not a creep. He’s not a con. He’s a good man with a good heart. And he thinks he found the person he belongs with.

Alex: I don’t even just think it. I know it.

Bonnie: See? There you have it. And if you are lucky enough to find that one person in this world that you belong with, well, you can’t just let that person go. You gotta hang on. What if I didn’t take that chance and kiss you that day? Aren’t you glad I did?

Justin: Of course. But you and I don’t work together. Plus, there’s a big difference between taking a chance and ignoring what stephanie wants.

Bonnie: Well, obviously if it’s a no-go, alex backs off. Look, all I’m saying is, I laid it all on the line, and my reward is I got the best thing that ever happened to me. Who are we to say that your son shouldn’t do the same, hm?

Alex: Have I also told you how much I love having bonnie as a stepmother? Oh, my god.

[Cell phone ringing]

Justin: You can enlighten me after I take this call. Hey, chad. What’s up?

Chad: Justin. I’m sorry. I have bad news.

Rafe: So how long are you in town for?

[Cell phone ringing] Oh, my–I’m sorry. I–yep, I have to take this. Hernandez. What? Yeah, I’ll be right there.

Stephanie: Bad news?

Rafe: Yeah, you could say that. Your cousin, sonny, has been stabbed.

Justin: Thanks, chad. We’ll be right there.

Bonnie: Justin, you’re white as a sheet. What’s wrong?

Justin: Sonny’s been stabbed.

Bonnie: What? Oh, my god, honey!

Alex: Is he okay?

Justin: I don’t know. Chad found him in the office. The paramedics are taking him to the hospital right now.

Alex: I’m gonna grab the car.

Bonnie: Go, go, go, go, go. Oh, honey, honey, honey, honey.

Justin: Oh, my god.

Bonnie: Oh, my god.

[Indistinct radio chatter]

[Suspenseful music]

Some days, it felt like asthma was holding me back.

Nicole: I am not calling eric.

Chloe: I know. I was just saying that to make a point, namely that you need to get a grip.

Nicole: Well, thank you, chloe, for all your understanding and support.

Chloe: I’m just trying to make you see that you’re acting like a crazy person.

Nicole: You know what, maybe I–maybe I shouldn’t have come here.

Chloe: No, look, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have said that to you. I know that having jada in the picture has been really difficult for you. But you have to see what you’re doing. I mean, have you thought of what could happen if jada goes to rafe and tells him how overly interested you are in eric?

Nicole: That is not gonna happen.

Chloe: How do you know that? She came right out and told you that they’d slept together, so she’s clearly very direct. Nicole, I love you. You are my best friend. But I have to be honest with you. Rafe is your husband. Now, I’m not saying that you have to stay in that marriage. But you have to make a decision. You either end your marriage, or you work on it. But whatever choice you make, you have to decide. And you can’t keep obsessing about eric.

Eric: So what did nicole say?

Jada: Nothing. It was–it was just a little awkward.

Eric: Yeah, I can imagine. Listen, we were supposed to have breakfast this morning, but that didn’t happen. And I’d like to make up for that. Have you had dinner yet?

Jada: I haven’t, actually.

Eric: Well, I do have some connections, and I can whip up a grilled cheese, some fries, maybe a milkshake?

Jada: Mmm, that sounds–

[Cell phone ringing] Oh, hold that thought. Hunter. I’ll be right there. Listen, gonna have to take a raincheck on dinner. I gotta get back to work.

[Dramatic music]

Rafe: How’s sonny?

Chad: They just took him to the hospital. I should probably get there.

Rafe: I have a few questions. Promise it’ll just take a minute. Sonny was in the office when you found him?

Chad: Yeah, when I walked in, he was lying right there with a knife in his back.

Rafe: Anyone else here?

Chad: Yeah, someone standing over him.

Rafe: Who?

Chad: Leo stark.

Leo: How could this have happened again? Oh, my god, sonny! Wait. The knife. Holy–it was the same knife!

When moderate to severe

ulcerative colitis persists…

[Soft dramatic music]

Stephanie: I heard about sonny. Are you okay?

Chad: [Sniffles]

[Monitor beeping]

Justin: We’re here for you, son. We’re right here! And we love you so much! We love you.

[Rapid beeping] What’s happening? Someone answer me! Please! What’s happening?

Bonnie: Justin, sonny is gonna be okay. Do you hear me? Sonny is gonna be okay.

Justin: Oh, my god.

Bonnie: No. No.

Jada: What have we got?

Rafe: Well, it looks like you were right.

Jada: About what?

Rafe: About leo stark. Chad dimera found him standing here over sonny kiriakis, who had a knife in his back.

Jada: A knife?

Rafe: Yeah. And it looks like we might have found the murder weapon in the abigail dimera case.

Leo: It was the same knife. My hit list. How did this get here? And how did my list get there?

Rafe: And there’s this too.

Jada: What is it?

Rafe: Leo’s hit list. Gwen said that leo kept a list of all the people he wanted to get back at. Looks like he just checked off another one.

Leo: This doesn’t make any sense. I never crossed off sonny’s name. Oh, my god! I’m being framed!

Days of Our Lives Transcript

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Alex: Yeah, I approved it this morning.

Sonny: Okay, great. Who are you testing?

Alex: Stephanie.

Sonny: Dammit! Alex! We have been over this. All right, my cousin’s pr firm works for titan now.

Alex: I know. I got the memo.

Sonny: That means she works here. That means you can’t hit on her.

Alex: You were serious about that?

[Beep beep]

Stephanie: “Excited about our new partnership. Let’s celebrate at my place tonight. We’ll break out the champagne and relax in the hot tub.” I am all for celebrating, but not with you, alex. “Where to go in salem for a decent cosmo.”

Leo: Ugh. I would never! Except I did.

Gwen: Oh god, matty, I can’t believe you did this to me. I swear, when I get my hands on that lying little brat, I’m gonna–

Chad: You’ll do what? Kill him? Like you did my wife?

Steve: So, what’d you tell abe and paulina?

Roman: That we had to shut the party down, that kate called on the phone, said she was feeling sick, so I had to go upstairs and get things ready for her.

Steve: Good. Because orpheus left a note warning us not to tell anyone he has marlena and kayla.

Roman: Yeah. Now that son of a bitch has kate, too.

Steve: I thought we would have heard from him by now.

[Thumping]

John: Speak of the devil. No one out there. But I guess this is probably from him.

Orpheus: How are we all doing this fine evening? Oh, I’m sorry. How rude of me.

Kayla: They are prepping your cell at statesville.

Marlena: How long are you going to keep us here?

Kate: Oh god, you’re gonna pay for this.

Orpheus: The reason I dropped by is to let you know that, one way or another, this all ends tonight.

Male announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “days of our lives.”

[Soft orchestration]

Sonny: Wow, that’s crazy. Yoink.

Alex: Wha–?

Sonny: A hot tub? Alex, really? What is this, the ’70s? Look, I promised stephanie you would keep things professional.

Alex: Have you not heard of team building exercises, sonny? And aren’t you the one that told me I should settle down with someone?

Sonny: Yes, but maybe I should have specified it should be somebody who can stand you.

Alex: She hasn’t even gotten to know me yet, sonny. Give it a little time. Trust me, I’ll win her over.

Sonny: Well, you wouldn’t sound so confident if you had heard her talking about you today.

Alex: Okay, when you first met will, he wanted nothing to do with you, and look at how that turned out.

Sonny: Yes, true, but that was completely different. Will freaked out because he wasn’t ready to be with a guy yet, all right? And you know what I did? I backed off. And eventually, will came around on his own. That’s the only reason it worked out.

Alex: Huh. Well, that’s too risky for me. Stephanie johnson is the woman of my dreams. I’m not gonna let her slip through my fingers.

Stephanie: Okay if I sit here?

Leo: Girl, this ensemble is fire! I love your style.

Stephanie: Thanks. I love yours too.

Leo: Finally, someone else here in mayberry with taste. We need to be friends. Come, let me order you a cosmo.

Stephanie: Oh my god, you must have read my mind. I’m stephanie.

Leo: I’m matt.

Stephanie: Nice to meet you, matt.

Leo: I don’t think I’ve seen you around these parts. Are you new in town?

Stephanie: Yes and no. I grew up here. But I’ve been living in seattle for the past few years. I just moved back.

Leo: God, why? Work? Family?

Stephanie: Both. My parents still live here. I was actually looking forward to spending time with them again, but then my mom pulled a disappearing act.

Kayla: What do you mean this ends tonight?

Kate: “In one way or another”–is that some kind of implied threat?

Orpheus: Well, if I explained all that, it would, uh… spoil the surprise, wouldn’t it?

Kate: You’re going to really regret doing this to us.

Marlena: You know that john and steve are gonna rescue us. Do you really think you’re going to win?

Orpheus: We’ll find out soon enough who the winners and losers are. Game’s afoot, ladies. Enjoy your evening.

John: There’s nobody out there.

Steve: Well, that’s no surprise.

John: So, what do we have in the box? Easy. Easy.

Steve: Okay. Okay. Easy.

Roman: Might help if he told us what he expects us to do with this.

Steve: There’s a video.

[Beep]

Orpheus: Good evening, gentlemen. Let the games begin. As you know, I have marlena, kayla, and kate hidden. Somewhere. But, generous soul that I am, I’m gonna give you three a chance to save them. To do so, you’ll have to solve a series of puzzles, which will give you clues you’ll need to discover the location. You’ll have to work quickly, though, because if you fail to achieve your mission within… one hour, well, then something very, very unfortunate will befall the women you love.

Steve: What the hell does that mean?

John: We’re on a time limit, men. Because he’s telling us he’s got a bomb.

When moderate to severe

ulcerative colitis persists…

Orpheus: So, you’re in a high-pressure situation now. And you must be thinking how meaningless your lives will be should you fail.

[Small laugh] A feeling with which I’m not unfamiliar, by the way. But I have a reasonable amount of confidence that you’ll rise to the occasion, especially since I’ve already given you everything you’ll need to determine the location and eliminate the threat. Good luck, men. Your hour begins… now. Chop-chop.

John: Well, well, well, we got ourselves a live feed.

Roman: Do you guys notice anything in that room that gives away their location?

Steve: Not a thing.

John: And he just made sure that we won’t see anything. All right, guys, we don’t have a choice here. Let’s roll our sleeves up and play his lousy game.

Kayla: What I don’t get is why are you here?

Kate: [Huffs] Because I was at the pub today when orpheus showed up. He must have realized that roman and I were back together again.

Marlena: You are?

Kate: Yes, we are.

Marlena: Hmm.

Kate: And since orpheus holds roman responsible for his wife’s death, he’s probably using me to punish roman.

Kayla: My god.

Kate: I had just left roman’s birthday party to pick him up a cake, and someone comes up behind me and shoves a cloth over my mouth.

Marlena: Hmm. Chloroform. The same thing that happened to sami when lucas kidnapped her.

Kayla: Sounds like it was a bad time for roman to forgive you.

Kate: Well, maybe it was. But I’m glad he did anyway. And marlena, I’m hoping that you’ll be able to forgive me too.

Alex: All right, I’m gonna head out.

Sonny: No, please, stay. I love hearing you go on and on about stephanie.

Alex: You know, she still hasn’t texted me back yet.

Sonny: Well, maybe she’s out buying a bathing suit for the hot tub.

Alex: Ah. I guess it’s back to my original plan.

Sonny: Which was?

Alex: Drinks with allie and chanel. Allie’s your sister-in-law, right? Why don’t you come with?

Sonny: I can’T. I got too much work.

Alex: Why didn’t you tell me? I could have helped you out.

Sonny: Nah, I gotta do it on my own. Stephanie wants a list of things I want her to focus on.

Alex: Did I make the cut?

[Sonny laughs] All right. Burn that midnight oil if you want to. Sonny boy, I know we don’t always see eye-to-eye, but I’m really glad we’re working together. This is where you say, “I’m happy we’re working together, too.”

Sonny: I’m-I’m really happy, too.

Alex: I do love you, you big dummy.

Sonny: Right back at you, dummy.

Leo: So, your ex just disappeared on you?

Stephanie: Never heard from him again.

Leo: Oh, that is appalling. What kind of creep would ghost an enchantress like you?

Stephanie: Kind of you to say, but that’s what he did. It was last fall. Things were getting serious. At least I thought they were. And then he stopped responding to my texts, my messages.

Leo: Ugh. What a cad.

Stephanie: I know, right? I was heartbroken. Spent a lot of time listening to adele. Olivia rodrigo.

Leo: Oh! It is crazy how a teenager could know my heart so well. It’s like she read my diary.

Stephanie: Something tells me a teenager girl might not be ready for your diary.

Leo: Ah. You remind me of my bestie. She and I used to have so much fun together.

Stephanie: Used to?

Leo: We had a falling out recently. It’s kind of my fault.

Stephanie: Aww. I’m sorry. Maybe she’ll come back around.

Leo: I doubt it. I really screwed her over.

Gwen: Chad, please hear me out.

Chad: You know, when a cop’s asking me who might have a motive to kill my wife, your name popped into my head. Because I remembered that you two had had a big fight that day. But I said to myself, gwen wouldn’t be able to break out of statesville, commit a murder, and then break back in. And once again, I underestimated you. I should have known that you would finally get your revenge.

Gwen: No. Please listen to me. I didn’t do it. I didn’t kill abigail.

Chad: Then why did you admit to leo?

Gwen: I didn’t do that either! He just said that lie to get himself off the hook! Please! You have to believe me! Moderate to severe eczema still disrupts my skin.

Gwen: I told rafe the truth.

Chad: No, you are not capable of telling the truth!

Gwen: I swear, I am!

Chad: What, so you went through all of that trouble, by breaking out of prison and putting on a sarah mask so you could give my wife a scare?

Gwen: Yes. Yes. Okay, yes, I-I did do that. But I didn’t want to hurt abigail. I just wanted to frame sarah.

Chad: Why?

Gwen: Because I wanted sarah to be locked away so that she wouldn’t be around xander anymore.

Chad: What, do you think that that puts you in a better light?

Gwen: No. No. Of course not. But chad, I’m telling you the truth. It’s the bloody truth. I swear.

Stephanie: So, what did you do to your friend?

Leo: I think we need another round.

Stephanie: Okay, but then I want details.

Alex: I know I said I would text, and I didn’T. I’m sorry. Chanel, I’m off work now. Why don’t you and allie come join me for a drink? I’m sure you’ll be able to find a sitter. Scratch that thought. Stephanie’s here. I’ll let you know how it goes. Stephanie.

Stephanie: Oh. Hi.

Alex: Hi. Did you get my text?

Stephanie: Yes. And then I deleted it.

Alex: Ah. Well, I mean, we’re both here now. Can I buy you a drink?

Stephanie: Sorry, I’m with someone.

Alex: I thought you said you were too busy to date.

Stephanie: I made an exception.

Alex: Maybe you can make another exception and come hang out with me and ditch this guy. I promise you you will not regret it.

Stephanie: Alex, how many times do I have to tell you that I’m just not into you, at all?

Leo: Girl, are you out of your mind?

Marlena: Do you really think this is a good time to, what, iron out our own personal differences?

Kate: I don’t know why the hell not. We’re stuck here.

Kayla: Yeah, but we could still find a way out.

Kate: Okay, we’ve been trying to find a way out for hours, and we’re still stuck here, okay? So I think it is a good time to iron things out. I don’t know if it’ll make any difference, but I did take responsibility for my actions.

Kayla: How?

Kate: By turning myself in to the police.

Marlena: Really?

Kate: Yeah. They charged me as an accessory after the fact with kidnapping.

Kayla: Well then, why aren’t you in prison?

Kate: Because I’m on probation. I paid a fine, a very big fine, and I have to do 200 hours of community service.

Kayla: Sounds like just a slap on the wrist.

Kate: Okay. The point is I made amends to the community. And…and to roman. So why don’t you tell your friend here that she should forgive me?

Kayla: I’m not gonna do that. ‘Cause I don’t think she should.

Steve: What do we got here? All right. “To find the women you love, think back to when our story began.” When did we first cross paths with orpheus? Mid-’80s, right?

Roman: No, it was earlier than that for me. Orpheus and I partnered up on that mission that went wrong.

John: Wait, wait, wait, wait. Okay, that was just you and him. He’s talking about all three of us here, right?

Roman: Yeah, but that mission was the beginning of everything. It was a very intense, dangerous operation. We were tracking some very dangerous people. One night, I heard someone, and I told them to identify themselves. They didn’T. Turns out it was rebecca. I have no idea why she stayed silent. Even after I yelled again, “identify yourself or I will shoot,” nothing. I said it again, louder. “Identify yourself right now, or I will shoot”–nothing. So I fired in the direction of the noise. You know the rest. So, I’m telling you, the year he wants is 1979.

John: This lockbox here– four-digit combination. What do you want to do? You want to take a stab at 1979?

Steve: Whoa, what if we’re wrong? Will we get another shot?

Roman: Three women’s lives are hanging in the balance here, and he’s playing this like it’s an escape room. Put 1979 in there in that lock, see if it opens.

John: All right, we’re on it. Brace yourself. Nice! Good job, roman, all right.

Steve: That’s good, because we still don’t know where our wives are or what kind of bomb we’re dealing with, and we’ve only got an hour.

Roman: Less than that now. Alright, the reason your dishes

John: “Because of you three, I lost valuable time with the people I love most in the world. So you can count on the same thing happening to you if you fail to…decipher this puzzle. All roads lead back to those broken bonds.”

Steve: Okay, we know the people he’s talking about are his wife rebecca, his kids evan and zoey. We just need to figure out what to do with that information.

John: Yeah, well, we don’t have anything else to go on. There’s no more lockboxes here, and all we got is a tin snips, probably to diffuse the bomb.

Steve: What now, mr. Escape room?

Roman: I think the key word is “count,” as in we need to convert the letters of his loved ones’ names into numbers.

John: You know, I think you’re right. “Count.” Because he uses the word “decipher,” as in cipher.

Steve: Okay, how much time do we have?

John: Less than half an hour.

Steve: We gotta work fast. Okay.

John: Work your magic, patch. Come on.

Steve: Evan. Zoey.

Kate: What the hell, kayla? Well, what difference does it make? I mean, it’s up to marlena anyway. You know, kayla’s never liked me. But I thought that you and I had a relationship. We were friends. At least I thought we were.

Kayla: You know, kate, I have never disliked you, even though there was a number of reasons that I should have. Let’s just start with you framing sami for the death penalty.

Kate: Ha. Well, I paid for that, because I lost everything.

Kayla: Yeah, and as soon as you climbed out of the hole, you were right back to your old ways. You blackmailed tripp. And then you knew that steve was stefano, and you kept quiet about it.

Kate: In the end, I tried to do the right thing, just like I did now. You know, no one’s perfect. Not even the two of you, kayla.

Marlena: Well, she’s right.

Kayla: What?

Marlena: She’s right. And if… if roman can forgive you, I guess I can too.

Kate: Thank you. And thanks for nothing, sweetness.

Kayla: Oh, yeah.

Leo: I don’t mean to interrupt, but how could you not be into this man? I mean…

Alex: This is your date?

Stephanie: Yeah. It is.

Alex: You look familiar.

Leo: I do?

Stephanie: Alex, this is matt.

Alex: No, no, this isn’t matt. This is leo stark.

Leo: I think you have me confused with somebody else.

Alex: What the hell are you trying to pull?

Leo: Whoa, whoa, whoa–

Stephanie: Whoa! Let him go!

Alex: No. Do you have any idea what this creep has done?

Leo: Wait, if you’re talking about abigail dimera’s murder, I was exonerated.

Stephanie: Wait, you were a suspect in my cousin’s murder?

Leo: And then I was exonerated–that’s the key word. Not guilty. Will you kindly let me go?

Alex: You were not exonerated for what you did to my little brother’s life.

Leo: Your little brother?

Alex: Sonny kiriakis, the guy you drugged and took filthy pictures of.

Stephanie: Oh my god!

Alex: Do you have any idea how long I’ve been waiting to get my hands on you?

Leo: Oh, if only you were saying those words under different circumstances.

Alex: I’m gonna beat your ass.

Leo: If only you were saying those words under different circumstances.

Stephanie: Alex, please, just let him go.

Leo: Thanks, stephanie.

Stephanie: It’s not for your sake, “matt.” It’s for his.

Leo: For the record, matthew is my given name.

Alex: Get out of my sight before I change my mind. And leo, if I see you again, I’m gonna kill you.

Leo: I just paid for my–

Alex: Get out.

Leo: [Huffs] Beg furious with abigail that day. I had asked her for one simple favor. I wanted her to deliver a birthday present to our father. But instead, she smashed it.

Chad: You convinced jack that abby was responsible for your miscarriage. I think that’s worse.

Gwen: Yes. Yes. Yes, it was. But I never wanted to hurt her. I would never, ever take my own sister’s life.

Chad: What, you have standards now?

Gwen: I haven’t killed anyone.

Chad: What about laura?

Gwen: I didn’t do that! I-I said that I did to abigail, but I didn’T. I was just so very angry.

Chad: You really are a monster.

Gwen: Look, I am trying to tell you what happened that night. I tried to pass myself off as sarah, but abigail saw through it, and she ripped the mask off my face. So I begged her to just let me go back to statesville and I would never bother her again, and she agreed.

Chad: Why would she do that?

Gwen: Because she’s abigail. As awful as I was to her, she still gave me another chance.

Chad: Now that, I believe.

Gwen: Then believe this too. Chad, when I left your room that day, abigail was still alive. Some days, it felt like asthma was holding me back.

Chad: Why would leo tell rafe that you admitted to it?

Gwen: I-I-I have no idea. Honestly, the last time we spoke, leo said that he was gonna have his lawyer represent me, and instead he said that stupid lie, and he sold me out. You know…you know, I’ve been wondering if that lawyer…if that lawyer convinced him to go against me.

Chad: Why would you think that?

Gwen: The district attorney made it no secret that she wanted to charge leo and I as co-conspirators. Maybe his stupid, slimy lawyer convinced leo that giving evidence against me was his only way out. Maybe-maybe leo was so afraid that the truth would come out if he didn’t set me up. And that truth is that he killed abigail.

Leo: [Singsong] Ding dong!

Sonny: How the hell did you get past security?

Leo: I used to work here, remember? I know all the secret ins and outs.

Sonny: What the hell do you want?

Leo: I just had a run-in with your big, strapping brother. I was afraid he was gonna rip my head off.

Sonny: Can you blame him? After everything you did to me and will?

Leo: Oh, you got even. More than even. You broke up craig and me. So I don’t think your brother should be attacking me in public. I was making a new friend. He ruined that, too.

Sonny: What do you expect me to do?

Leo: Ask him to back off, maybe not kill me. He threatened to. He did.

Sonny: And why would I help you? Hmm? You won’t even admit that you drugged me, let alone apologize for it.

Leo: If I had drugged you– speaking hypothetically, of course–I would admit that that would not have been a very nice thing to do.

[Sonny laughs] I was lost without craig. And all I could do was think about getting back at the people who took him from me. But after abigail died, I realized that revenge isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be. Life is too short to hold a grudge. So…I was hoping that we could be friends. Do you think that’s possible?

Stephanie: I admit that I was impressed by the way you stood up for sonny.

Alex: He’s my kid brother.

Stephanie: I can’t believe I was knocking back drinks with the guy who did those things to him. I actually thought I made a friend.

Alex: So, he’s not your date.

Stephanie: Okay, I lied.

Alex: Well, I lied, too. I hate cosmos. But my mother taught me never to waste booze because it was a mortal sin.

Stephanie: Here. You earned it.

Kayla: I just wish I knew what kind of game orpheus was playing.

Orpheus: I’m so glad you asked. Sorry to eavesdrop, but I thought you’d appreciate an update. Earlier tonight, roman brady, steve johnson, and john black received a puzzle. Now, if they succeed in solving it, it will lead them here, which gives your white knights a fighting chance at saving you…before the bomb goes off.

Kate: What bomb?

Orpheus: The one in the electrical panel to your right. I gave them a time limit and, sadly, they aren’t here yet. And time is growing short. I don’t think they’re gonna make it, ladies. So, I wanted to wish you all a fond farewell. It was fun while it lasted.

Kayla: No, wait–you can’t do this to us!

Orpheus: Sorry, blue eyes. I hope your men don’t feel too guilty about failing all of you. But I don’t see how they’ll avoid it. Ciao.

Marlena: Orpheus!

Kate: Oh my god, we’re gonna die here. Oh my god.

Steve: Okay, total up all the number values. Comes to 150.

Roman: Okay. Building address.

John: Yeah, we can only hope.

Roman: How do we find the street name?

John: You know, I’m thinking about something. “All the roads lead back to those broken bonds.”

Steve: Broken bonds.

John: Stockholm. Orpheus is talking about the treasury bonds he was looking for in stockholm.

Steve: Right, right, right. Is there a stockholm street in salem?

Roman: Yes to stockholm. No to 150.

[John exhales]

Steve: Wait, I know I totaled these numbers right. Zoey. Does zoey have a “y” at the end?

John: Yeah, yeah, zoey’s got a “Y.”

Steve: Okay. What is it then?

John: Evan. Evan’s wrong. Evan’s not his given name. His given name is… it’s christian. Nine letters. C-h-r-I-s-t-I-a-N.

Steve: Okay, how much time do we have?

John: Less than half an hour.

Steve: Okay, that’s 209.

Roman: Okay, there is a 209 stockholm street. Okay? Thank god they’re in salem. We don’t have much time.

Steve: All we have is his word–his could be a trap.

John: We don’t have a choice.

Steve: Okay, take it easy. I was taking my antidepressant daily,

Gwen: Think about it, chad. We all know that leo was camping out in your basement, right? And yes, yes, you are right when you say that I told him how to get there–but I didn’t think he was gonna kill her, i didn’t do it because I wanted him to kill her. He had no money–

Chad: Don’t! Don’t do that! You knew that he hated me and abby and sonny for breaking up him and craig.

Gwen: Yes, yes, I know. I did know that. He did come and see me in statesville, and he asked me to help him come up with a plan.

Chad: To what? To get us? What did you say?

Gwen: I said that I’d–i would think about it. But I didn’t think he was gonna hurt anyone. But now it’s obvious that he did want to do that. He did it, chad. He murdered your wife as payback.

Sonny: Hmm. Okay. You want to be friends now. That’s-that’s convenient.

Leo: What does that mean?

Sonny: Oh, that this kinder, gentler leo is just an act you’re putting on in case the cops do decide, hey, maybe you really did kill abigail.

Leo: I didn’t kill her. It was gwen.

Sonny: If you say so.

Leo: I hated ratting out my best friend, but I was not gonna go down for something I didn’t do. Gwen will never forgive me, but…I’m hoping you will. Sonny, I am truly sorry for everything I have ever done for you.

Sonny: Oh, too little too late.

Leo: Okay. Well, if we can’t be friends, can we at least not be enemies?

Sonny: You know what, fine. I forgive you. Not that I’ll ever trust you.

Leo: And will you convey our detente to your brother?

Sonny: You won’t have to worry about him.

Leo: Wonderful. Have a lovely evening, jackson. You will always be my favorite ex-husband.

Alex: You were a racecar driver?

Stephanie: Totally different lifetime. And I was no danica patrick, but I had a good run.

Alex: Just when I thought you couldn’t get any sexier.

Stephanie: Don’t start.

Alex: The offer still stands. Hot tub. Champagne.

Stephanie: Are you kidding me?

Alex: What? Thought we were vibing.

Stephanie: We’re having a friendly, casual conversation. That doesn’t mean I’m suddenly into you. I think I’ve made it very clear where I stand.

Alex: I know. But I think we’re making progress.

Stephanie: Sorry, pal. You thought wrong.

Kate: We could blow up any second.

[Pop pop pop]

Kayla: Do you hear that? There’s shooting out there.

[Women scream]

John: Here! Here!

Marlena: John!

Roman: Kate!

Steve: Hey, baby.

Kayla: Thank god, thank god.

Steve: Do you know where the bomb is?

Kayla: It’s in the electrical panel on the wall over there. See it? Careful. Careful.

Steve: Okay.

John: You okay, baby? You all right? Let’s get you out of here.

Steve: All right. We got less than a minute.

Marlena: Oh god.

Steve: So many wires– I don’t know which color to cut. That bastard. He said he gave us everything we needed to know.

John: Did he say anything at all that referenced colors? Anything about colors?

Kayla: He called me “blue eyes”–he has never done that.

John: Try it.

Steve: Okay, that works for me. Blue. Still going.

Roman: 22 seconds.

John: What else?

Kate: Is there a white wire? Because he called you guys “white knights.”

Steve: White. Got it. Oh no.

Roman: 14 seconds.

Marlena: What about-what about black for john black?

Steve: Black.

Roman: Six seconds.

John: Come on, man.

Steve: Got it.

[Overlapping exclamations]

Roman: All right! Way to go!

Marlena: Oh my god. Ohh…ohh… I have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

Kate: Oh, you’re my hero!

Roman: I’m sorry I got you in this.

Kayla: Oh!

Steve: Did he hurt you?

Kayla: Thank you. No, I’m good now that you’re here. Good, good.

Marlena: Oh! John, I was so scared.

John: Baby, it’s over, baby. It’s all over now. It’s all over, baby.

[Ominous music]

[Overlapping chatter]

John: Okay, that was close.

Orpheus: How touching.

Marlena: So well done. All of you.

Orpheus: But I’m sorry, john. The games have just begun.

Stephanie: I should get going. First day on a new job tomorrow.

Alex: You can be late. I’ll write you a note.

Stephanie: Would you just give up? I’m not just gonna fall into your arms because you’re handsome. Maybe that works on other women, but not me.

Alex: She thinks I’m handsome. Yes!

Chad: Do you really think that I’m gonna take your word about leo or anything? You lie for a living!

Gwen: Chad, I am telling you it was leo, okay? Do you know that he made a list? He made a list, after craig left him, of all the people that he wanted to get even with. He was obsessed with this list. Abigail was on it, and so were you, and so was sonny and brady and chloe. And I’m telling you, if someone doesn’t go after him now, he’s gonna keep checking those names off that list. All of you should be watching your backs.

Leo: Oh, sonny? I forgot to ask, do you validate? The parking rates here–sonny? My hit list. How did this get here? And what is this on it? Blood? Oh my god, sonny! We need yours.

Days of Our Lives Transcript

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[Soft dramatic music]

Rolf: And we are ready to begin. And when I am done, you will no longer love the detestable gabi hernandez. It will be chloe lane who teaches your torch to burn brightly. Oh, sweet mystery of life.

Chloe: Oh, honey, I’m sorry, I didn’t see you there.

Rachel: You didn’t want me to hear what you just said, but I did. She’s trying to keep me away from mommy.

Brady: No, no. No, no, no, sweetie, she’s not. She’s not trying to keep you away from mommy.

Rachel: I heard her. You’re lying to me.

Brady: Baby, no. I would not lie to you, okay? You will–you will get to see mommy.

Rachel: Promise?

Brady: I promise.

Rachel: Then call her right now.

[Upbeat music]

Belle: Shawn.

Shawn: [Grunts]

Belle: Hey, shawn.

Shawn: Sorry. I didn’t hear you come in.

Belle: Didn’t you go to the gym this morning?

Shawn: I felt like doing more.

Belle: Okay, I’ll go make dinner while you finish.

Shawn: Look, wait. There was– there was a phone call for you on the landline. It was ej.

Belle: Oh?

Shawn: Yeah. Apparently, there’s some, I don’t know, urgent dimera shareholder meeting, and he needs your– he needs your input. So I don’t know. You’re gonna have to call him back because I didn’t take any notes.

Belle: Wait.

Shawn: Wait. Aren’t you supposed to be making a phone call?

Belle: I don’t want to talk to ej. I want to talk to you.

[Soft dramatic music]

Ej: I’d like to move that ava vitali–

Ava: Ava dimera.

Ej: Ava vitali be disqualified as a shareholder and removed from this meeting.

Ava: Disqualified? What are you talking about?

Gabi: Yeah, ej, what exactly are you trying to pull?

Ej: I’m not trying to pull anything. I’m trying to protect the future of this company.

Kristen: [Sighs] And voter suppression is so effective.

Wei: With all due respect, ej, the bylaws are very clear in regards to this kind of situation. As jake dimera’s widow, she’s entitled to this shares and vote. Why should she be disqualified?

Ej: Because she sees dead people.

[Dramatic music]

Male announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “days of our lives.”

[Soft orchestration]

Brady: Rachel, I’m not gonna call mommy right now.

Rachel: You promised.

Brady: Sweetie, I promised that I would never lie to you, and I won’T. The truth is that your mommy, she did something that she shouldn’t have done. And I know this is very hard for you to understand, but when you go to court and you have to testify, you have to take this oath. An oath is like a–it’s like a pinky swear. You have to swear to tell the truth, and chloe–chloe has to do that.

Rachel: But if she says something bad about mommy, they’ll send her away again. Daddy, don’t let her do this!

[Soft dramatic music]

Ava: I can’t believe this. Oh no, no, actually, I can. And I do. This emergency shareholders meeting was all orchestrated by you, wasn’t it, ej?

Ej: Ava, I can’t tell you how sorry I am, but I have no choice. Everyone at this meeting needs to know what’s been going on. Everyone, I regret to have to tell you that ava’s been hallucinating. She’s been seeing her dead husband.

Wei: Is this true?

Ej: She claims that he rang our doorbell last night, and she touched him and he was real, and when I suggested that she was suffering some post-traumatic stress, she admitted I was right.

Ava: You bastard.

Ej: Ava, you need help.

Ava: Oh, what I need is a tire iron.

Ej: Threatening me only confirms what I’ve been saying, ava. You’re not in control.

Ava: No, I’m mad.

Ej: Your words, not mine. Now, of course, none of this is her fault. We can all see how traumatized she is. We as a family will do everything we can to help her find her way back, but we can’t in good conscious allow this woman to make decisions on the future of the company.

Ava: Right, ’cause it’s a matter of conscious.

Ej: So, mr. Shin, as chairman of the board, you need to make the determination to disqualify her from voting. We cannot have a hallucinating, emotionally unstable woman voting her dead husband’s shares.

Tony: But I wonder, is there someone here that can take her place?

Rolf: I am taking you on a journey back in time, and at the end of the journey, you will loathe gabi hernandez, which is the only rational reaction to the woman. And so I want you to remember the last time you saw her, when you were deeply in love with your wife.

Stefan: Oh, my god, my mother’s text couldn’t have come at a worse time. I am sorry to leave you like this.

Gabi: It’s okay. Go deal with vivian and just hurry back, okay, so we can start the rest of our lives.

Stefan: Okay, just promise me you’re gonna keep this bed warm for me.

Gabi: Yes, please be careful.

Stefan: I will. I love you, gabi.

Gabi: I love you, too.

[Eerie music]

Rolf: I will assume you just had an oh-so-sweet memory. Let’s see what we can do about that.

Gabi: You’re enjoying this, aren’t you?

Ej: Far from it. It’s my duty, but a sad one.

Kristen: Really, ej? This is too much.

Tony: Now, that’s rich coming from you.

Kristen: She just lost her husband. I mean, she’s grieving. That doesn’t make her incompetent.

Ej: She’s seeing people that aren’t there. What if she starts investing in companies that aren’t there?

Kristen: She’s seeing people who aren’t there, according to you. And unless you have a psychiatrist who’s examined her waiting out there in the outer office to corroborate your assertions, it seems to me to be a naked power play, based on totally unsubstantiated accusations.

Wei: What do you have to say to that, mr. Dimera? Do you have any evidence to back up the claim?

Ava: No, there isn’t any because the son of a bitch is lying through his teeth.

Ej: Well, let’s just see about that, shall we? Moderate to severe eczema still disrupts my skin.

Brady: Mommy’s not going anywhere, okay?

Chloe: Rachel, listen, I don’t want to hurt you, and I don’t have to go to court.

Rachel: I hate you! Make her go away now!

[Soft dramatic music]

Shawn: Thought you said you were gonna start dinner, hmm?

Belle: Shawn, I know you. You’re not working out. You’re working out your anger.

Shawn: What anger?

Belle: Oh, come on. We both know that ej never calls the landline. He just did that to goad you.

Shawn: What, you mean treating me like I’m your personal secretary? Hey, belle, it’s totally fine, right? I’m fine with it, all right?

Belle: Stop it!

Shawn: Okay, stop what? Stop what? Huh? What?

Belle: It means the world to me that you let me move back in here, and that we’re under the same roof, and we’re having dinner together, but I hate all of this tiptoeing around each other and making small talk when there is so much we’re not saying. And then every night, we go to bed, we say goodnight, and you go off to our bedroom– well, your bedroom– and I go to claire’s bedroom.

Shawn: Okay, what do you want to do? You want to switch bedrooms? We can switch rooms.

Belle: No, I want you to scream at me! I want you to throw me out! But don’t do this.

[Sighs] I slept with ej, and there is nothing I can do to take that back, and the fact that he called the landline here instead of my cell makes me want to shove that phone down his throat, so I can only imagine how it made you feel. But I did not move back in here to be your roommate. You said that you thought that you could get past what happened, and, I don’t know, maybe you can’T. Maybe it was just too much to ask.

Ava: I don’t think anyone in this room would be surprised to hear that ej dimera is a liar. I mean, ask his sister. He’d say anything to get what he wants.

Kristen: It’s a family trait.

Ava: He only called this meeting here today because he wants to take away my vote because I made it very clear to him that I would not be his rubber stamp.

Ej: [Chuckles] Okay, now that’s a lie.

Ava: Okay, let me make something clear to all of you. I never hallucinated. I live with the ever-present knowledge that my dear jake is dead, and he’s not coming back. Ej made up this little ghost story, but he doesn’t have, as his sister said, one shred of evidence.

Ej: None? How about another eyewitness?

Wei: Someone else saw this?

Ej: Mm-hmm. Your son, and your ceo, ms. Gabi hernandez.

Gabi: Mrs. Gabi dimera.

Rolf: Moving right along. Now, let’s go back to the nauseating moment when you first decided you were in love with the wench.

Stefan: Did I hate you? Sure, but I saw underneath that, that there was more, and that everything about you, all the deviousness, the passion, the treachery, the genius–all those qualities are exactly what caused me to fall for you.

Gabi: You fell for me?

Stefan: Yes. I should have admitted it before now, but my pride, my ego wouldn’t let me do it. But I’m done with all that now. If we never get out of here, I’m not leaving anything unfinished. That’s why I’m laying it all out on the line. I care for you, gabi hernandez, and I’m done pretending I don’T.

Gabi: Oh, my god, oh, my god. I am going to hate myself for this so much more than I hate you. You’re right, okay? You’re right. I can’t keep pretending. Dammit, stefan, I feel the same way that you do.

Stefan: [Chuckles]

Rolf: It will be a pleasure to annihilate that particular memory.

[Machine beeping rapidly]

[Dramatic music]

Ej: So, you see, mr. Shin, your son and your ceo were both there when it happened. They saw everything, so you don’t need to take my word for it.

Wei: Is it true, mrs. Dimera? Were you there when ava thought she saw her late husband?

Gabi: I don’t even know how to answer that.

Ej: Oh, I don’t know. How about the truth?

Gabi: I mean, “was I there when ava imagined her late husband?” Is so loaded. I was there last night, but I didn’t see ava hallucinate. Maybe it was ej that was hallucinating. Maybe he came up with this crap because he wants to force me out as ceo. What am I saying? He would never do something so underhanded.

Wei: Son, were you there last night? Did you see anything?

[Soft dramatic music]

Stefan: [Gasps] Oh.

Son, I need an answer now.

When moderate to severe

ulcerative colitis persists…

Wei: Son, answer me.

Li: Yes, I was there last night.

Wei: And?

Li: I can state categorically that ej is lying.

Ej: [Chuckles] He’s just backing her up. They’re both lying.

Wei: At this point, we have three major shareholders who insist that your allegations are false. Now, everyone including i understand your ambitions. It’s no secret that you want to be the ceo again.

Tony: No!

Ej: Mr. Shin, just for clarification’s sake, the three major shareholders who say that I’m lying are ava dimera, gabi dimera, and your son, li shin.

Kristen: Did that just go over your head, ej?

Ej: Oh, I just want it in the record before I play this.

Johnny: Yeah. Yeah, she told me she saw jake.

Ej: And what exactly did she say?

Johnny: Just that it felt real. You know, she touched his face. She was sure it was him. But she couldn’t explain what was happening. She thought she must have been maybe hallucinating.

Ej: So, you see, I’m not the only one. Ava herself admitted it to my son johnny.

Johnny: You recorded me.

Ej: I had a feeling that ava might deny what happened. I apologize to you both, but I didn’t have a choice.

[Dramatic music]

Brady: Hey. Everything is gonna be okay. You gotta believe me, everyone, including chloe, just wants what’s best for you. You have my word on that, okay?

Rachel: Okay.

Brady: I know you’re upset. I know. Do you want me to go tell nora jane’s mom that you want to do a playdate another day?

Rachel: No, I want to go.

Brady: Want to go? Okay, well, it looks like they’re getting ready to leave, so do you want to go say your goodbyes, and I’ll be right there, okay?

Brady: I’m sorry. I’m really sorry about that.

Chloe: I’m sorry too. It’s fine. Just go.

Brady: Looks like I’m going to–I’m gonna have to talk to belle. All right, I’ll be back as soon as I can.

Shawn: Look, I don’t–look, I don’t know what to say. You know, I just, I heard his voice, and I just–I couldn’t stop thinking about his hands on you.

Belle: I am so sorry.

Shawn: Look, even–even if he didn’t call, belle, I–look, I can’t just– I can’t just get over this, okay? I…I know that this isn’t what you’re gonna want to hear, but I just… I just need more time.

Belle: No.

Shawn: No, what?

Belle: No. I don’t think that’s true.

Rolf: So time to alter your emotional makeup just a bit. Instead of lusting for gabi hernandez, you will be repulsed by her. This may hurt a little bit.

Gabi: You think that I want you?

Stefan: It’s obvious.

Gabi: You destroyed my life. You framed me for murder, kidnapped me, put a hot poker in my face.

Stefan: None of that changes the fact that you want me. I’m not sure this is such a good idea.

Gabi: Yeah, probably not. I don’t really know what I was thinking. Even though sometimes you do show another side, you still are an arrogant jackass.

Stefan: And you–see, I may be an arrogant jackass, but I am way too much of a gentleman to tell you what you are.

Gabi: You know what, maybe it was just sex, and maybe it wasn’t terrible, but you still don’t get to treat me like some random dimera whore.

Stefan: Pity that all you have to offer is sex.

Gabi: It’s a pity you didn’t have more to offer.

Stefan: You are such a clever girl, gabi. Such fire in your eyes. That mouth on you? It’s really a shame that all you’ve got is dust around that shell of a heart of yours.

Gabi: You are unbelievable. Stefan?

Stefan: Yeah.

Gabi: Don’t insult me again!

Stefan: Yeah? What are you gonna do about it?

[Dramatic music]

Wei: You lied to me.

Ej: He’s been spending a lot of time with gabi.

Wei: Mr. Dimera, I think you’ve said enough. And I’ve heard enough to make a decision. It’s pretty clear after hearing the recording that what ej said is true, but I am not removing you from this meeting. It would be too disruptive, but I will be prohibiting you from voting your shares until a determination can be made of your mental state.

Tony: Checkmate.

Shawn: Whoa, whoa. What are you doing?

Belle: Shawn, no matter when this happens, it’s gonna be awkward, and I don’t think we should just sit around and wait for the perfect time. Okay, let’s go upstairs and make love.

Shawn: Oh, that’s your solution to everything, isn’t it, huh?

Belle: What? That’s not fair.

Shawn: Okay, you know what? You should be careful when you use that word. Just like it wasn’t fair when you went off and you crawled into bed with ej. Oh, god.

Brady: Sorry. I actually did knock. You obviously didn’t hear me, but belle, could you just call me when you get a chance?

Shawn: No, no. Brady, don’t–don’t go, all right? Look, I was just trying to work out, but you know what, I think I’m gonna go on a run instead, so. Good to see you.

Brady: You too.

[Soft dramatic music]

Rolf: The marriage wasn’t a love match at the beginning, but judging by how you went flying to see the woman when you escaped, it grew into one, but today is the last day of your love story.

[Chuckles]

Dum, dum, de dum what god hath joined together, let dr. Rolf zap asunder.

Gabi: Yes. I do.

[Eerie music]

Ej: I move that we remove ms. Gabi hernandez–dimera– as ceo and install me in her place.

Kristen: Those are two separate and distinct motions.

Ej: Why waste time? Everyone here knows that the vote is merely just a formality. The last vote on this matter was a six-six tie, which allowed gabi to remain on as ceo, but her side just lost a vote, which means the majority is no longer in her favor. She will have to step down, and we need to install her replacement as quickly as possible. So, to that end, we need to vote immediately.

Johnny: You might not want to do that, dad. The vote, I don’t know, might not go the way you planned it.

Tony: Another county heard from.

[Dramatic music]

Announcer: Type 2 diabetes?

Chloe: Hey, shawn.

Shawn: Hey, chloe.

Chloe: Hey. I know that brady was just on his way to go see belle. Do you know if she’s at home?

Shawn: Yeah. No, he’s there talking to her now.

Chloe: Oh, okay, good. I know that you two are trying to work things out, and he wouldn’t interrupt unless it was really important.

Shawn: Yeah, no, he didn’t interrupt. The truth is we aren’t working anything out.

Belle: Well, I guess it was pretty naive to think I could just move back in here and everything would fall back into place.

Brady: I was hoping it would.

Belle: Yeah, the truth is I just think that, you know, the marriage is a lost cause. He just can’t get over the fact that I slept with ej. But you did not come here to talk about my problems. I’m sorry, what’s–what’s up?

Brady: It’s–it’s kristen. Belle, she has-she has filed for full custody. I just got served.

Kristen: I think johnny has something to say, ej.

Johnny: I do. See, you just said, as if it were a given, that the vote would be six-five in your favor, but, well, how do you know without the vote?

Kristen: Someone counted their chickens before they hatched?

Johnny: Let me save you some time by telling you that I’m switching my vote. I’m voting for gabi.

Ej: No.

Johnny: Oh, yes. See, I think what you did to ava just now was disgusting. She’s suffering. She’s in real pain, and you saw that as a liability, as a means to an end, just like when your own son confided in you, you thought to yourself, “hmm, let’s get this on tape. Might come in handy.” So let’s cut to the chase, mr. Shin. I know that your time is valuable, and I know that you’ve traveled a long way for this meeting, so I would like to state for the record I vote against the motion. That’s gabi, kristen, shin, their two proxies, and me. Six votes to your five gabi stays.

Gabi: Thank you, johnny. I know it stuck in your craw last time I won because it was a tie. This time, it’s a majority. I won, and you–you lost after you wasted a great deal of all of our time.

Ej: [Chuckles] I won’t forget this.

[Chuckles]

[Soft dramatic music]

Time. It’s life’s most precious commodity,

Belle: So kristen hired sloan petersen as her attorney. She’s a shark. And we can’t use any of kristen’s past crimes against her because she’s been pardoned.

Brady: Past. That would–that would be before the pardon.

Belle: That’s right.

Brady: Well, just so happens that kristen threatened to stab chloe with a letter opener just a couple days ago. That was after the pardon.

Belle: Well, that’s great. I mean, not great, but that’s gonna make compelling testimony.

Brady: Well, there’s another problem with that. You see, my daughter rachel overheard chloe and me talking about her testifying against kristen, and it made rachel very upset, and now chloe is nervous that if she testifies against kristen, rachel’s just gonna hate her.

Belle: Yeah.

Brady: Yeah.

Belle: Knowing kristen, that’s probably why she did that. You know, she’s just trying to cause tension and make chloe the bad guy, but brady, just because she’s filed for full custody does not mean she’s gonna get it. Worst-case scenario, you share custody. And you’re okay with that, right?

Brady: [Chuckles] As long as it means I don’t lose rachel altogether, sure.

Belle: No judge is ever gonna give kristen full custody. Don’t worry. Everything’s gonna work out for you.

Brady: And everything’s gonna work out for you and shawn too.

Chloe: Listen, shawn, I’ve been on both sides of this kind of situation, and I know it sucks, but you have to ask yourself, are you really trying to work things out with belle, or are you just trying to punish her? I mean, if you didn’t think you were capable of forgiving her, then was it a good idea to ask her to move back in?

Shawn: You’re right.

Chloe: I mean, belle has said and done everything she can. The ball, as they say, is in your court. So you have to make a decision, one way or the other.

Tony: [Sighs] Well, you tried.

Ej: I’m not done. This is not over.

Ava: Well, I guess it was my own damn fault forgetting that you aren’t human, forgetting that you can never be trusted, forgetting that you will happily use the most horrible thing that has ever happened to a person to bring them to their knees.

Ej: Pack your things and get the hell out of my house.

Ava: What?

Ej: You’re no longer of any use to me. Get out.

Johnny: Just so you know, pops, if she does, I do too.

[Soft dramatic music]

Gabi: Thank you so much for your support.

Kristen: Mm, remember, you’re still only one vote away from ej taking over again.

Gabi: Yeah, trust me, ej’s not gonna let me forget that. Excuse me. I gotta do some damage control.

Kristen: Me too.

Wei: I will never forget that you lied to my face.

Gabi: So did I.

Wei: You didn’t have to remind me.

Li: Doesn’t it matter why we lied? Ej was using ava’s grief to seize power. Is that the kind of person you want running this company?

Wei: Think about the person that founded this company. A high moral character was never a requirement for this job. You’re not above reproach.

Li: But she’s doing an incredible job.

Wei: I’ll make up my own mind about that. Let me remind you that you didn’t get your shares or position of ceo because of merit. You got them because your husband died. Don’t forget that.

[Eerie music]

Rolf: And now, deeper into your past, it’s time for you to remember the voluptuous chloe lane in all her splendor.

Stefan: This is me begging. Please, please. Come on, please, sing me a song.

Chloe: No, no.

Stefan: Come on, please?

Chloe: Okay, oh gosh, please stand up, yeah.

Stefan: So, you’ll do it?

Chloe: I will sing you one song if you get up off your knees. Yes.

Stefan: Yeah? All right.

Chloe: Okay. Oh, okay, hm. Hm, hm.

[Exhales softly]

[Singing in italian]

Stefan: You’re going through a lot. Trust me when I say I’m gonna take care of this for you. And when I do, maybe I’ll finally get to take you out on that date.

Chloe: I’m not sure that that date will live up to your expectations at this point.

Stefan: I disagree. I think it’ll be well worth the wait. Chloe, I can make this better for you, just like you can make it better for me. We would be so good together.

[Sot dramatic music]

My asthma felt anything but normal.

Ej: Weren’t your histrionics at the board meeting enough for you?

Johnny: Wasn’t questioning ava’s mental state in public enough for you? And doesn’t kicking her out of the house qualify as histrionics?

Ej: There’s no reason for her to be here. This is our family home.

Johnny: And ava is family. She’s your brother’s widow.

Ej: Who has sponged off us while poisoning my own son against me.

Johnny: Look, I didn’t say you have to let her stay here. I just said, if she goes, so do I. It’s completely up to you.

Tony: Count to ten, ej. You don’t want to lose your son over this.

Ej: Fine. She can stay.

Johnny: Well, good. Ava, can I offer you an aperitivo?

Ava: Oh, that sounds lovely, but I think I’d like to freshen up first.

Johnny: Of course. A dopo, papa.

[Dramatic music]

Ej: [Sighs]

Tony: You did the right thing, ej. You don’t want to lose your son over this. Let it go.

Ej: [Screams]

Ava: Oh, thank you. Thank you for standing up for me back there. I do not think I could handle having to look for another place to live right now.

Johnny: Now you don’t have to.

Ava: That’s quite a risk you took. You could have been out on your ass too.

Johnny: Well, it wasn’t completely unselfish. I like having you around.

Li: I’m sorry. My father shouldn’t speak to you like that.

Gabi: It’s okay. I’ve got a tough skin when it comes to business. I just–I don’t want him to be angry with you.

Li: Oh, it’ll blow over.

Gabi: Thank you. And thank you for backing me up. I know it wasn’t easy to lie to your father.

Li: Don’t you know by now? I’d do anything for you.

[Tender music]

Kristen: So how did it go?

Rolf: It’s working. When he comes to, he won’t want anything to do with gabi hernandez ever again. He’ll only have eyes for chloe lane.

Chloe: Oh, hey.

Brady: Hi. So, I talked to belle. According to her, we don’t need you to testify.

Chloe: Oh.

Brady: Yeah.

Chloe: Okay, well, I just hate that you’re going through this.

Brady: I hate it, too, obviously, but I figure the worst-case scenario is that I have to share custody with kristen. I mean, I guess I could live with that, but it’s probably the best thing for rachel, anyway.

Chloe: Mm, I hope you’re right.

Brady: I hope I’m right too. Hey, there’s no reason to worry. There is nothing that kristen can do to come between us.

[Soft dramatic music]

Belle: Hey, listen, I’m so glad you came back. I’ve been thinking, and I’m really sorry. I tried to force the issue, and I pushed too hard.

Shawn: No, no, don’t, don’t, don’T. Don’t apologize. You were right. I– this–this isn’t working.

Belle: Oh.

Shawn: I mean, it’s, like, you know, like, us. Like, living–living together again, like this. It just–oh, my god, why? Look, I don’t know how to say this.

Belle: But you think it was a bad idea–

Shawn: Because, yeah, damn it, like, it’s, like–like–oh, my gosh, why am–why am I having so much trouble trying to find these words right now? I just–

Belle: You know what, I think you should just go take a shower, and we’ll still have dinner. We’ll talk about the cubs, and in the morning, I will go pack my stuff and–

Shawn: Look, I don’t-i don’t want to talk about the cubs, belle, and I don’t want to have dinner, and I don’t want you to leave, but I don’t want things to stay like this. Look, you’re right. Look, I do need to take a shower. Do you want to join me?

Days of Our Lives Transcript

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Ej: I expect you to be smiling down on us today, father.

Tony: Ah, well, hello, ej.

Ej: Something wrong with the front door?

Tony: Oh, no, I was down at the crypt; I was supervising the caretaker. He finally put up a plaque in jake’s memory.

Ej: Oh, you weren’t worried that might be a waste of time?

Tony: What does that mean?

Ej: Didn’t you hear? Our dearly departed brother is still alive.

[Suspenseful music]

Ava: You’re alive? You’re really alive? Oh, my god.

[Door clicks open] Jake?

[Machinery beeping]

[Cell phone rings]

[Cell phone beeps]

Rolf: Yes, mr. Shin?

Shin: Why haven’t you been answering your phone, rolf? I’ve been calling since last night.

Rolf: Yes, well, I’ve been otherwise occupied. Stefan’s currently blissfully unconscious, but it’s been quite an effort to keep him that way.

Shin: Well, you better do what it takes. That was a close call at the mansion. Thanks god it was ava who answered the door and not someone else.

Rolf: Yes, that’s a pure stroke of luck that she mistook stefan for jake, or our undead friend’s escape would have been catastrophic!

Shin: I’m not cleaning up your mess again, rolf. Next time stefan wakes up, he better be completely over his feelings for gabi.

Gabi: What about me?

Male announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “days of our lives.”

[Soft orchestration]

Kristen: Did I just hear you say that my brother escaped your custody?

Rolf: Li, I have to go.

[Cell phone beeps]

Kristen: I have put my whole future in your hands, and you can’t keep tabs on a half-dead man?

Rolf: As you can see, he’s right here.

Kristen: Yeah, but he wasn’t, was he? And you didn’t tell me.

Rolf: Li and I had the situation well in hand.

Kristen: Ah, ooh! Please just tell me that you have managed to make progress on getting stefan to forget his feelings for gabi. Is he feeling romantic towards chloe lane?

Rolf: I’m afraid there may be a small problem on that front.

Shin: Gabi, hi.

Gabi: Did I just hear my name?

Shin: Oh, uh, yes. I was speaking to my father. He wanted a status update.

Gabi: On what?

Shin: Everything. Me, the company, us.

Gabi: Us? Wait, but what did you tell him?

Shin: The truth, that I’m head over heels for you.

Gabi: I hope he approves.

Shin: He wasn’t thrilled at first. He was worried that our relationship would get in the way of business. But he can’t argue with success. Company’s doing better than ever when it comes to product releases, stock prices way up.

Gabi: Yeah, I mean, if you don’t count basic black. Nobody there’s happy since kristen forced me to put her in charge.

Shin: Is she still making chloe’s life a living hell?

Gabi: Every single day. You know, I wish there was something I could do, but kristen stood up for me at the shareholders’ meeting, so I gotta keep her happy. Unfortunately, we do have the matter of ava vitali.

Shin: Mm.

[Door shuts]

Ava: Oh, it’s you.

Johnny: Wow, uh, never seen that much disappointment on a woman’s face, geez.

Ava: I’m sorry. Sorry, I just, um, I wasn’t expecting you.

Johnny: Yeah, I was just– I was out for a run on the grounds when I saw the door of the crypt open– freaked me out a little bit. No disrespect to the dead or anything, it’s just, uh, last time I was in here, satan was hanging out right over there by that sarcophagus, so…

Ava: Yeah, well, I haven’t seen him here today.

Johnny: What–what are you doing out here?

Ava: Your family just put up the plaque for jake, and so even though we’re waiting on the medical examiner for his ashes and he hasn’t been interred yet, I feel close to him in here.

Johnny: Yeah. I understand.

Ava: Mm.

Johnny: Uh, ava, when I walked in just now, I heard you say his name.

Ava: Yeah, um, you’d probably think I’m crazy, but for a second there, I thought that–

Johnny: You–you thought I was jake?

Ava: Yeah. I mean, especially after last night.

Johnny: What happened last night?

Ava: No one told you?

[Chuckles] I thought it was gonna be the talk of the house.

Johnny: Ah, I wasn’t around, so…

Ava: Oh, okay, well, I was meeting with gabi, and someone was at the door, and when I went to open it, jake was standing there.

Johnny: What?

Ava: Well, I thought– I thought jake was standing there. I mean, he was so real. He was standing there in his hospital gown, the one he died in. I touched him. I felt him.

Johnny: All right, but how– ava, how is that possible?

Ava: [Sighs] I don’t know. I d– [Sighs] I don’t know, but– I don’t know; I got so overwhelmed, I just passed out, and then when I came to, li was standing there, and he told me that it was him that I saw at the door.

Johnny: You sound like you don’t believe that.

Ava: Oh, I know very well what jake looks like. He’s who I saw. I would swear to it.

Tony: What do you mean that brother jake is alive?

Ej: In ava’s mind, anyway.

Tony: I’m afraid I’m not following.

Ej: I’m surprised you didn’t hear about the commotion yesterday. Gabi found ava passed out in the foyer. When she came to, ava insisted that she saw jake at the front door.

Tony: But he wasn’t, of course?

Ej: Not unless you believe in ghosts.

Tony: So what do you think actually happened?

Ej: Apparently, it was li at the door. Ave was obviously hallucinating. I’m afraid that poor woman has gone round the bend. I’m worried for her.

Tony: Oh, are you really?

Ej: Yes, she suffered a terrible loss and is clearly not dealing with it well.

Tony: Ah.

[Chuckles] You’re saying all the right things. But I can see that look in your eye. What are you up to?

When moderate to severe

ulcerative colitis persists…

Chloe: Kristen can’t honestly think that she will get full custody of rachel.

Brady: I told you, since her pardon, she is feeling invincible. Maybe she is.

Chloe: I don’t know, I mean, even if her record’s been wiped clean, every person in this town could testify that she is a dangerous criminal.

Brady: Chloe, you–you’ve– you’ve been through a custody battle. The judge is usually gonna side with the biological mother, right?

Chloe: Well, not when the said mother is kristen dimera.

Brady: Officially, kristen dimera is this fine, upstanding citizen. In the eyes of the law, hell, she–she didn’t even commit the crimes; they don’t exist.

Chloe: Mm. Well, um, what if she’s committed a crime since she’s been pardoned?

Kristen: What do you mean “there’s a problem”?

Rolf: Stefan’s feelings for gabi are proving more powerful than I anticipated.

Kristen: So?

Rolf: So I was attempting to stimulate his brain last night and inadvertently roused him.

Kristen: Okay, what do you mean “roused”?

Rolf: He leapt out of bed, desperate to get to gabi. I couldn’t stop him!

Kristen: Okay, so you let him go?

Rolf: There was nothing I could do!

Kristen: Oh, my god, did gabi see him?

Rolf: Thankfully, li and i were able to get to him before he could reveal himself to her.

Kristen: Okay. So nobody saw him? Rolf…

Rolf: Unfortunately, ava vitali did see him.

Kristen: You’re serious?

Rolf: Yes, but it’s all under control.

[Chuckling] She was believing that she was hallucinating her dead husband, jake.

[Laughs]

Kristen: Are you sure?

Rolf: Yes.

Kristen: Okay, then we dodged a bullet, unlike jake. So you will fix this, right?

Rolf: I knew this would be a challenge. But the man’s been dead for four years and woke up with one singular thought– getting back to his wife.

Kristen: How touching.

Rolf: It’s a powerful love, kristen, more powerful than I knew. To be honest, I don’t know whether it can be overcome.

Gabi: I was gonna throw ava a bone; give her a meaningless job title, and, you know, make her happy.

Shin: While ignoring her more outrageous demands.

Gabi: Yeah, but during our job interview, she answered the door and imagined her dead husband.

Shin: Mm, that certainly was unfortunate. The look on her face before she passed out, it was like her brain had short-circuited from the trauma. Imagine mistaking me for jake.

Gabi: Yeah, I just hope she takes the title, takes the salary, gets out of the way, and just rests.

Shin: I hope so too. You seem a little stressed out.

Gabi: Yeah.

Shin: You doing okay?

Gabi: I’m hanging in there, li, okay? Blackmail, secrets, lies; it’s a lot.

Shin: I hear ya.

Johnny: Are you saying you don’t think jake’s dead?

Ava: No, I mean– [Sighs] Honestly, I don’t know what I’m saying. I mean, I was there at the hospital when he died. I said goodbye.

Johnny: And there–there’s no doubt that he’s gone, right?

Ava: No, but… then I started having these waking dreams, where jake would come to me and we would– we would talk.

Johnny: So couldn’t last night have been a dream too?

Ava: No, no, it–it–it felt too real. Like I told you, I touched him. I felt his breath. You know, I guess last night could’ve been some sort of flashback or ptsd or something. I don’t know.

[Chuckles] Maybe I’m just crazy.

Johnny: Ah, my, uh, my grandma marlena would tell you that she doesn’t believe in that word, and also you’re talking to a guy that was possessed by the devil, so–

Ava: Yeah.

Johnny: Nothing sounds crazy to me anymore.

Ej: What makes you think I’m up to something?

Tony: [Chuckles] First of all, you’re you.

Ej: Fair point.

Tony: Yeah, well, let’s face it, ej. Ever since you found out that ava was married to jake–

Ej: Allegedly married to jake.

Tony: Yes. You’ve been trying to get your hands on her dimera shares.

Ej: Have I?

Tony: Why else did you move her in here?

Ej: She’s family, and she needed help.

Tony: Oh, please. You just used the word “allegedly” to describe her marriage. Now you want me to believe that you think of her as family?

Ej: Okay, so maybe I did have a plan.

Tony: Oh, what was that, win her over with your many charms?

[Chuckles] Oh, please don’t tell me that your plan is to seduce your brother’s widow.

Ej: It doesn’t matter what I was planning. The situation changed and it resulted in some tension between ava and me.

Tony: Ah, romantic tension?

Ej: I have no desire to build a relationship with a lunatic.

Tony: Oh, that hasn’t stopped you before.

[Chuckling]

Ej: But you have to admit her delusions are concerning.

Tony: Mm-hmm. Then are you concerned about her?

Ej: I’m concerned about this family and the company. Even if ava’s vote was legitimate, and I still have my doubts, how can we trust such an unstable shareholder to faithfully uphold her responsibilities?

Tony: Oh, please. By that standard, you’d have to oust half the shareholders.

Ej: Perhaps, but today, I only need to oust one.

[Dramatic music]

After trying lots of things to manage her

Brady: As far as I know, since she’s been pardoned, kristen has been on her best behavior.

Chloe: You mean, other than literally trying to kill me at the office yesterday?

Brady: What?

Chloe: I–I didn’t wanna say anything to you, ’cause I didn’t wanna worry you.

Brady: No, well, okay– too late; now I’m worried. What–what the hell happened?

Chloe: To be honest, I’m not even sure how serious she was about stabbing me.

Brady: Hold on, she tried– she tried to stab you? What?

Chloe: She threatened to stab me with a letter opener.

Brady: Oh, god! What?

Chloe: Yeah, she picked it up, and she said she was gonna plunge it through my heart.

Brady: Chloe, oh–

Chloe: I told you she was not gonna be satisfied just torturing me with the passive-aggressive powerpoint critiques.

Brady: No, no, no, no this– I’m not gonna let her get away with this.

Chloe: I didn’t say this– I don’t want you to get worked up.

Brady: Well, I’m worked up! This woman is unhinged, obviously. I’m not gonna let her around my daughter. She’s not gonna get full custody. She’s not gonna get any custody!

Kristen: You promised you could get stefan to fall out of love with gabi and in love with chloe.

Rolf: I know what I said.

Kristen: And as you know, I need stefan to come between brady and chloe so that I can get my family back.

Rolf: I will do my very best, but even if I’m successful–

Kristen: When! When you’re successful.

Rolf: I cannot promise to make chloe return stefan’s feelings!

Kristen: Well, then do the same procedure on her! I don’t care; whatever it takes! Rolf, I need–I need this to happen.

Rolf: You seem agitated– more than usual.

Kristen: Agitated? Agitated? Do you know how long they kept me from my daughter? I got to–I got to see her yesterday, and she is so big, so grown up.

[Sighs] Oh, my god. Just being with her just melted my heart, and brady, he ripped her away from me without letting me say goodbye.

Rolf: That’s not right.

Kristen: You’re sh–amn straight it’s not right!

[Sighs] I need to be with rachel. I need us to be a family again.

Rolf: I want that too. But happens if I can’t come through for you?

Kristen: You will! You will come through for me, rolf. I am–I’m gonna be with brady and rachel, and stefan is gonna be with chloe, and everyone is gonna live happily ever after.

Rolf: Everyone except for gabi hernandez.

Gabi: [Sighs] I’m sorry you got dragged into this whole ava thing. I mean, you did say you wanted to know everything.

Shin: I’m glad you told me that her marriage to jake wasn’t real. We’re in this together, gabi.

Gabi: Yeah, and we do make a hell of a team, don’t we?

Shin: We sure do. Like I said, stock prices are at an all-time high, profits are way up.

Gabi: Are they? This kind of talk is making me a little hot.

Shin: Oh, I haven’t even started talking about revenue…

Gabi: Mmm…

Shin: Mmm…

Gabi: But don’t stop.

Shin: Cash flow…

Gabi: [Giggles]

Shin: Mmm. Long-term projections.

Gabi: Mmm. Long-term projections?

[Sultry music]

Tony: So you relieve ava of her shares, and then you call in another vote of the board to install you in gabi’s stead. Do I have that right?

Ej: In a nutshell. I’d have six votes in total– mine plus kate and chad’S. I also have johnny and theo’s proxy, and of course, yours.

Tony: Of course.

Ej: And in the event of a tie vote, status quo prevails, which is how gabi was able to retain her position when kristen sided with her at the last meeting. However, without ava’s vote, it’s 6-5 in my favor.

Tony: Oh, well, I hate to be the naysayer here, but how do you plan to disqualify ava’s vote? Li makes those decisions.

Ej: Yes, and from the arcane rules of the dimera board, he also has his own vote too.

Tony: By that standard, he’s gabi’s lover and confidant, and even if ava was waltzing in here singing a duet with jake, well, li’s not likely to disturb the current power structure.

Ej: You’re absolutely right, tony, which is why I had to go over li’s head.

[Both chuckle]

[Suspenseful music]

Wei: What is the meaning of this?

Shin: Father! I was taking my antidepressant daily,

Ava: Thanks for being so cool about this.

Johnny: I just want you to be okay.

Ava: Mm, you know, I shouldn’t be surprised because you have been so nice to me ever since I moved in here.

Johnny: Eh, you’re my friend, and you’re part of the family now, so nobody gives you crap and gets away with it.

Ava: Oh– [Chuckles]

Johnny: What?

Ava: Oh, no, it’s just that sounded very vitali-esque of you right there.

Johnny: Ah, maybe the vitalis and dimeras aren’t so different.

Ava: You know, I was so eager to put my past behind me and just forget about my old life. You know, pretend it never happened. And then I ran into jake here in salem, and all of a sudden, it–it was a comfort to have that shared past, you know? An understanding between the two of us. Then it turned into something more. You never know where life’s gonna take you.

Johnny: No, no, no you don’T. Ava, I’m so sorry for your loss, and I didn’t mean to interrupt this, you know, private moment you were having.

Ava: No, no, no, I appreciate it. I appreciate everything that you said. Thank you.

Johnny: Yeah, any time. Um, I will let you be with jake.

[Dramatic music]

Tony: So you went over li’s head to his father?

Ej: I put in a friendly call to wei, told him there were a few matters that required his urgent attention here in salem.

Tony: So what did he say?

Ej: He’s calling a shareholders’ meeting here shortly.

[Sighs] Soon the company will be restored to the dimera family as it rightfully should’ve been all along.

Johnny: Uncle tony.

Tony: Ah.

Johnny: Dad. What’s goin’ on?

Shin: Father. Uh, wh– what are you doing here?

Wei: I wanted to discuss some important matters such as this workplace relationship.

Shin: I told you gabi and i were involved, and you gave us your blessing.

Wei: That was before I found you fornicating on company property!

Gabi: Mr. Shin, listen–

Wei: A little grace would involve locking the door.

Gabi: Yeah, we’ll definitely do that next time.

Wei: Next time?

Shin: She was just joking, father.

Gabi: I’m–I’m so sorry. This is all my fault, mr. Shin.

Shin: No, no, it was mine. I got carried away. It won’t happen again.

Wei: It certainly won’T. If you’ll excuse me, it was a long flight. I need to freshen up.

Shin: [Sighs] I’m so sorry that happened. I know that must be mortifying.

Gabi: You told me you just got off the phone with your dad. Why didn’t you tell me he was in salem?

[Cell phone ringing]

[Cell phone beeps]

Kristen: [Sighs] I assume you’re calling because you got served.

Brady: Full custody? Really, kristen?

Kristen: Maybe if you didn’t yank rachel away without letting me say goodbye to her yesterday, I would’ve settled for joint custody, but obviously, brady, you don’t wanna play fair.

Brady: Oh, and what is fair, this–this emotional blackmail you’re trying with rachel, telling her that we’re gonna be a family again?

Kristen: [Sighs] Well, it’s obvious that you don’t wanna be co-parents now or in the future, so I think that you’ve had full custody for long enough. Now it’s my turn.

Brady: It will never be your turn. Chloe told me how you nearly stabbed her at the office yesterday.

Kristen: So dramatic. If I wanted to kill chloe, she’d be dead.

Brady: You threatened her with a letter opener?

Kristen: That’s what she said; her words against mine, and if you put her on the witness stand, we will make her look like the desperate home-wrecker she is.

Brady: Kristen, I didn’t wanna go to war with you.

Kristen: You could’ve fooled me.

Brady: But you’ve gone too far once again. I tried to work it out with you, so here’s the deal. You are never getting rachel back–ever!

[Cell phone beeps]

Johnny: You were talking about the family business, about how something will be restored as it should’ve been all along?

Ej: Restored? Oh, yes, yes! Yes, of course. I was thinking of having father’s portrait touched up a bit. There’s always been something about the eyes that’s just not quite right.

Johnny: Looks fine to me. That’s exactly how I remember nonno looking.

Tony: That’s a perfect likeness.

Ej: All right, we’ll leave it, then. Ava’s not here, by the way, so no need to continue to parade around half-naked.

Johnny: I was on a run. It’s hot out, and I know that ava’s not at the house, ’cause i just ran into her at the crypt.

Ej: Popular destination today. What, pray tell, were you doing there?

Johnny: I saw the door open. I just–I wanted to make sure everything was okay.

Ej: Ava was inside?

Johnny: Yeah, yeah, I’m pretty sure I freaked her out when I walked in.

Ej: Mm, did she tell you that she saw your uncle jake’s ghost or whatever he was?

Johnny: Yeah. Yeah, she told me she saw jake.

Ej: And what exactly did she say?

Johnny: Just that it felt real, you know? She touched his face. She was sure it was him. But she–she–she couldn’t explain what was happening. She thought she must’ve been maybe hallucinating, seeing her dead husband standing there when it was actually li.

Ej: Poor woman.

Johnny: She said you were comforting. I know you two have had your issues, so I’m glad you were kind to her when she needed a friend.

[Suspenseful music]

Ava: Oh, jake. I know you’re not here. I know you’re not gonna walk through that door. I guess I just wanted it so badly that my brain made it happen. And I know–I know that our marriage wasn’t real, but my love for you was and always will be. And I hope– [Chuckles] I hope you don’t mind what I did–you know, that I’m lying to your family. I will admit that I became a dimera partly out of selfishness and–but mostly babe, I did it for you, because I am gonna do all the things that you never had the chance to. This is for you, jake.

[Machinery beeping]

Kristen: Brady wants to keep me from rachel. He can’T. He won’T. You need to speed this up.

Rolf: [Scoffs] I can’t just snap my fingers and reprogram stefan’s brain. It’s a process.

Kristen: Well, process faster.

Rolf: It doesn’t work that way. I have to use subliminal associations to reinforce positive memories of the early days of his budding romance with chloe. Similarly, negative associations will be paired with his memories of gabi.

Kristen: And then what?

Rolf: Then stefan’s brain will do the rest of the work. New neural pathways will evolve, and he will be in love with chloe and disgusted by gabi.

Kristen: You’re gonna test it before you let him out again?

Rolf: Of course. He will not step foot out of this room until his heart and mind are fully reprogrammed.

[Cell phone beeps]

[Sighs] I have to go.

Rolf: What’s wrong?

Kristen: Uh, I have been summoned by wei shin for a meeting at dimera. I wonder what this is about.

[Suspenseful music]

Shin: Yes, I spoke to my father earlier. He must’ve been at the airport, but he never mentioned to me that he was in salem.

Gabi: Why would he keep that from you?

Shin: I know it sounds strange, but this is how he operates. He’s been doing it since I was a kid. He’d show up at my school, make sure I was working hard enough. Even at university, he’d appear unannounced to see who I was spending time with, confirm that I wasn’t doing anything to displease him or dishonor the family.

Gabi: Sounds like he’s got major trust issues.

Shin: Big ones. And he likes to catch me off-guard.

Gabi: Well, he succeeded at that. I just hope there aren’t any consequences from this.

Shin: I guess we’ll have to find out. Father, again, I deeply apologize for what you just witnessed.

Wei: Well, it certainly could have been worse. Now, call the custodian staff and get someone to scrub that table.

Gabi: I will handle that.

Wei: Well, you better hurry. I just summoned a meeting of the dimera shareholders.

Gabi: For what– for what purpose?

Wei: You’ll see. Announcer: Type 2 diabetes?

Ava: Am I interrupting?

Ej: No, no, we were actually just talking about you.

Ava: Really, what about?

Ej: I was going to suggest that we hold a small service for jake as soon as we’re able to inter his ashes–a chance to honor our brother’s memory, assuming it’s all right with you as his widow.

Ava: That would be, um, nice. Thank you.

[Cell phone beeps]

Ej: Oh, this is strange.

Johnny: What is it?

Ej: It appears wei shin is in town.

Tony: [Gasps] Is he?

Ej: Mm. He’s the chairman of the board of dimera.

Ava: I’m aware.

Ej: He’d like us to go to dimera for a shareholders meeting. He wants us there asap.

Ava: A sudden shareholders meeting? Is this a common occurrence?

Ej: Hardly.

Ava: So you have any idea what this is about?

Ej: Not at all.

[Dramatic music]

Shin: You’re not gonna do that; we pay people for this.

Gabi: [Sighs] I’m not afraid to get my hands a little dirty. I just–I don’t want your father to have any excuses to try to depose me from power.

Shin: He can’t even if he wanted to. I have a vote; he doesn’T.

Gabi: He still has a lot of influence here.

Shin: Not enough to change things, especially when you’re doing so well.

Gabi: Well, then why is he here? Why did he call this meeting?

Shin: I don’t think it has anything to do with us. Jake died, and his shares wound up in the hands of a former crime boss. Plus, kristen’s out of prison and making waves.

Gabi: That’s a lot of uncertainty.
