THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

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

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

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

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

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

I,

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

Ava Vitali is considered armed and extremely dangerous.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I’m gonna save me some time.

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

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

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

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

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

hate.

I quit.

Bob,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

We gotta find a way outta.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

This is the chance. My mother.

My mother,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I need a blank.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Bear my manner. Ladies first, of course,

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

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

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

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

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

I’m sorry.

I wish the hell this hadn’t happened.

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

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

I’m going home. AJ

ej.

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

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

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

You were great. You were so bad at yourself.

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

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

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

oh my God. Ej, what happened?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

No more. Bruce? No. Want you to?

She’s

gone. It’s all my fault.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Hi,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

over

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

So where is Zander now?

I devil himself here, down you.

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

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

he did exactly what I asked him to.

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

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

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

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

Get our money from EJ and offload Money Motor Map.

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

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

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

He has to pay in.

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

Lord. Lord, I know you.

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

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

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

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

Something that could save Susan Banks’s life.

Susan beat your captor

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

He was more like the strong man, you know?

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

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

That’s close enough. Ej,

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

Nope. Nope. Won’t tell anyone.

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

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

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

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

Oh, sorry.

It’s done. Where’s my mother?

Nice dream business with you.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

No next.

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

five 12.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I’m ready you.

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

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

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

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

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

Good you.

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

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

And that bozo still has Susan,

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

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

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

Damn.

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

I’m coming. Mother

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

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

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

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

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

I know. What the hell is she doing?

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

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

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

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

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

I

Something’s happened. Hasn’t it

something bad? Something’s hurt,

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

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

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

Oh, you know what I.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Always.

What can I get ya? Shot of bourbon.

Anything else? Yeah,

the location of this kid.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

just leave me alone. Go away.

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

He’s got my kid. Okay.

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

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

Am I interrupting?

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

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

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

Don’t wear it out.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

And you, eavesdropped Grain dropped her, whatever.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

But first you’ve gotta let Tripp Johnson go.

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

Wiki, wiki, eggs, and bakey. Hey,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

13 million.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

. Oh, hey Brady. Uh, how did your meeting go at Titan? Uh, it was long for, the main takeaway is Alex Kakkis is thrilled with your Bella cover shoot that you did with. He would shut up about the chemistry that the two of you had. He said that it sizzled off the page. He’s so excited. He wants to do a second cover shoot with you.

Oh God. Shoot me now.

I hate you. I know that I hate you more.

Jing Wen logged in from Jakarta. Are you sure? No, I am not questioning the competence of the IT department. I just thank you for the information.

What are you up to, little sister? What’s wrong? It’s your hands freezing. Really? It’s like a hundred degrees in here. Maybe you’re just cold blooded. Maybe you’re getting sick. I’m fine. Okay. Maybe I’m a little nervous. No, Vicky, I’m, I’m sorry. I’m, I’m sorry if I, uh, made you uncomfortable. No, it’s not you, it’s what we’re about to do.

I mean, we really tracked down the mysterious Dr. Rolf more like the unhinged Dr. Rolf. Based on everything he’s done, he’s a really dangerous guy.

Is that what this is? Are we talking about my cold hands or your cold feet? Do you wanna abort the mission?

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

Hello? Chloe, what are you doing here? I work here now What Basic Black is operating out of Dera Enterprises offices now? No, I’m no longer at Basic Black. I was given a promotion to Dera. You gave your girlfriend a promotion. Your fiance did. Lee didn’t tell you

the hell are you doing in Jakarta? Inua. I know you’re not there onto mirror business after spending 36 hours to get here. No, I don’t want to abort the mission. I’m totally committed to this. If Lee’s involved in something shady you, I need to know. I’m glad you still feel that way. I do and I hope against hope that there’s some other reason he sent Dr.

Rothfield that doesn’t have anything to do with the plan to brainwash Stephan. I hate to think that Lee’s capable of something so vi. Well, that’s the difference between us. I know all too well what my father is capable of, but I do hope you’re right. Yeah. Well, whether I am or not, I dunno why I’m so dense, you know?

Pride myself on being tough, right? Having nerves of steel. Look, it’s, it’s completely understandable. Okay? You’re going up against an actual mad scientist with formulas that can warp your mind. It’s a little outta your wheelhouse. Oh, but not yours. Mine too. Yeah. But Wendy, I’ve got your back, I promise.

Okay.

How’s that feel? Yeah, it’s good.

Um, I will get my nerves under control. I know you will got faith in you.

It’s my brother.

Look, uh, like hell no. Uh, excuse me. You could never look like hell. It’s just that, uh, I think you’re wearing the same thing you had on yesterday. Yeah. Well, um, I was here all night. You slept here. Unfortunately, sleep was not involved. Okay. You were here. So where was Holly? Maggie’s They had already planned to sleep over.

Ah, look, I know we’re a little behind. With everything, with with Chloe leaving and with you, dealing with this modeling shoot, but you working yourself to death, it’s not gonna help anyone. You’re gotta take care of yourself. All right. I know Brady, I, I wasn’t working, um, you Ray fight or something. It was more like an uncomfortable conversation.

Mm-hmm. , lemme take a wild guess. It was about,

I know that RA wasn’t thrilled about you doing a shoot with Eric, so if it helps, I can talk Alex into dropping the second cover idea with you, Ray Brady. It wasn’t, it wasn’t about the cover

last night. I. Told Re that Eric and I wanna be together

here. Nicole’s laptop, figured she needed for work. I’ll send the rest of her things over. Nicole’s not here. I haven’t seen her since yesterday. She didn’t stay here last. No she didn’t.

I’m sorry. I don’t want to hear it.

Nicole, in no uncertain terms told me that she’s leaving me for you, but you’re saying that she didn’t stay here last night.

It’s complicated. Ah-huh. Right. I mean, of course it’s gotta be awkward moving your ex-wife in under the same roof as your now ex-girlfriend. Where’s Jada getting kicked out? Jada’s not getting kicked out. Oh no. Well, I can’t imagine that she’d wanna stay anyway. I mean, given the circumstances. Or even that you and Nicole would want her to or am I missing something?

Yeah, you’re missing something. Jada’s pregnant,

huh? Nick Guy. I can’t say that I’m surprised to hear this. You and Eric, you always kind of find a way back to one another. Out Rafe, take it as about as well as you’d expect,

right? I should have never married Rafe in the first place. I know that now, and once I did, I should have never. What, what? I just can’t help feeling that I’m getting exactly what I deserve.

What did you do to deserve a job at Damer hq? I mean, must have been good to overcome 16 negative performance reviews. All of which were written by Kristen, uh, and they were all false. Now that she no longer works here, they have magically disappeared from my file. And when did this all happen? Mm, last week.

Maybe Lee told you and you forgot. No, I don’t forget things. Mm. Especially not ridiculous, horrifying things. Then maybe your fiance’s keeping secrets from you.

Come on Jing One, you’re never away from your phone. You avoiding me for some reason. Let it go to voicemail. Can’t. Lee knows I’m surgically attached to my phone. I’ve already missed a few of his calls. He’s bound to get suspicious. Does he usually call you several times? Controlling big brother much. I mean, maybe there’s a work emergency.

That could be why he keeps calling. Yeah, or maybe he’s onto us, which means there’s not any time to waste. We need to go find Ralph. Come on.

call me as soon as you get this. It’s urgent.

In cute secrets from me, Stefan, you just said he didn’t tell you about Chloe’s. Well, probably because he didn’t think it was worth mentioning. And you know, I understand why you wanna work at Demer. I know. I know you’ve been having a hard time at Basic Black and it must be a relief to get away from Brady now that you’ve broken up.

I have no idea. Oh yes, yes I do. Oh, great. The engraver finally sent the proofs from my wedding invitations, Elliot. Elegant. Right. Oh, that is lovely font. Thank you. Wait a minute.

You getting married New Year’s Eve? Yeah. I mean, what could be better? The whole world throwing a party for us. Champagne. Fireworks. You look a little unsettled. Stephan, what? You have a problem with me getting married so soon?

Rolf, my sister Ngn may try to contact. Not to tell her anything. Not a word. Did I just hear you take Ralph’s name in vain? What’s going on? Is there a problem? Oh yeah, it’s a big one.

Okay, don’t worry. I will be right out here the whole time. Just speak to normal volume. The mic is very sensitive. It’ll pick up everything. You never thought you’d be using your fancy film equipment for something like this? Well, you’d be surprised when I was a kid. I, uh, I wanted to be an FBI agent, even learned a few tricks of the trade from my stepdad, Rafe.

Sounds like you’ve had quite a past. Johnny d and I will tell you all about it when we get home. Wendy S And remember, if you need any backup, any backup at all, just use a secret word black belt. Got it. Okay.

Dr. Ralph, I presume.

Why would you even say that, that you’re, you feel like you’re getting what you. Because I’ve made so many bad choices. Brady, I mean, I cheated on Eric with a man. I detests. I blew up EJ and Sammy’s marriage. I blew up Ray’s relationship with my best friend, well, my best friend at the time. All right, let’s, let’s, let’s look, let’s look at that.

First of all, one would argue that you did Rafe a favor there. Second of all, as far as EJ and Sammy are concerned, uh, they can take most of the credit for their relationship falling apart. Okay? Oh my God. Will you stop trying to make me feel better? I’m no better than Ava. Uh, she’s a mafia princess. She’s a ruthless criminal.

She tried to frame rape. Remember? She tried to send him to prison for God’s sake. Yeah. Well, I broke his heart. I kept telling him that I loved him and I wanted to be with him. You were saying what you believed at the time. You know what, if anything, you , you lied to yourself is what you did. Even so. But at some point when I stopped lying to myself and I knew that I was falling back in love with Eric, I still told Ray that I loved him and wanted to be with him.

And now, now, now what you told Ray, that you and Eric have decided that you want to be together. I mean, look, it’s gonna be tough. Onri Reef’s not the only one. When Eric went to tell Jada the news, She had some news of her own to share.

Jada’s pregnant. She didn’t fame because of low blood sugar. Ah, Obviously you’re the father.

You knocked her up knowing that you are in love with another woman. This conversation, well, does Jayden know that you’re leaving her? Huh? Does this change your plans for the future?

So Jada just found out herself last night after she fainted the doctors ransom tests and, okay, what does that mean? I mean, for you and you and Eric. I don’t know. After Eric told me that Jada was pregnant, I was thrown and so rattled and I just took off and I, I haven’t spoken to him since.

So whatcha gonna do? You gonna sit here and feel sorry for yourself? You gonna drive yourself? I have an idea, maybe you should call Eric and I don’t know, talk to him. Maybe I don’t wanna hear what I know. In my heart he’s gonna say, I mean, you know Eric, he’s such a good guy and he has always wanted a child of his own.

So I’m sure he’s gonna do them right thing

and stay with Gina.

Are you okay? How are you feeling? I’m fine. They only kept me overnight as a precaution. I’m just here to get my stuff. What? What are you talking about? You can’t expect me to stay. Where are you gonna go? I don’t know. Uh, maybe the Salem in or Steven, Kayla can help me find a place. Hey Jay. Jack, do you need hand?

Oh, thanks. I’m fine. No, I’m Can’t be lifting heavy boxes.

You told him.

Oh my God. Where the hell do you get off? Talking about my body to my boss? I’m sorry, I just, just what? Trying to explain why you’re not riding off into the sunset with his wife. You know, don’t let me stop you. You can have Nicole, because I want nothing to do with you ever again.

So there’s no other reason for your sister to be in Jakarta? None whatsoever. She said she was working remotely today. She tried to make it look as though she was logging in from Salem. But our IT department was able to pierce the VPN she created and pin down her actual location. Oh, maybe she’d be playing hooky.

No, Jing. Gwen doesn’t do hooky. She used to email her teachers saying she was too smart to need to follow anybody else’s rules. She’s ended up acing the test anyway. Well, in other circumstances I would admire her. But how did she find out where you stashed Ralph? I have no idea. The only person I told was ej.

But why does she even care about Ralph at all? I mean, let alone to track him down halfway across the world. The only possible reason I can think of is that she somehow suspects what we did to Stephan.

Who the, how are you? I’m Wendy Chen.

Maybe you know me as Lee sister. Jean. What, ah, the technology, what account your reputation precedes you? I was, I’ve heard so much about you. Oh good. I hope, of course, Lee sent me here To personally ensure that you have everything you need.

Oh, this lab is just as beautiful as you said it would be. The facilities are state of the art. I have however, had amassed that event in my food fly colony. Oh dear. So our fresh supplier of your will be much appreciated. I trust you can see more fruit flies. I’ll get right on that. Thank you. I’m surprised you didn’t let me know you were coming.

Oh, I’m sure he sent you an email. You probably just missed it. He was determined to give you a royal welcome. After all, he’s extremely grateful for everything you’ve done for him. Ah, you mean my years of faithful service to the mirror enterprises? Of course. There’s that, of course. As well as,

You know, the way you brainwashed Stephan Damara to fall out of love with Gabby Soly could have her for himself.

Of course, I don’t have a problem with your wedding date. Why would I care when you get married? Well, then why’d you bring it up? I, I don’t, it’s just, I don’t know why you’re getting married. So. Okay. You are a bells and whistles type of person, and that takes time. Then again, impetuous is your middle name.

You’ve always followed your every whim. Mm-hmm. Nope. There is no whim. Okay. I have known Lee for years yet, weeks ago you stood in front of me and told me you loved me and now what? You’re getting married to what? Throw it in my face. You’re lucky. That’s the only thing I threw on your face. Oh, really?

Belligerent much. I was engaged to Lee way before you magically rose from the dead. And I, I’m sorry, but you told me my marriage did not bother you. It doesn’t. It’s.

It’s an important day for me. The first time I stepped foot in Salem, it was New Year’s Eve. No, I know. Unfortunately, I was there the day that Vivian unleashed you onto this town. Think of all the, the pain and suffering. We could have all been spared if you just, Steve, where you came from. Oh, guys good. Uh, Gabby don’t you think you’re being just a little bit harsh?

I do not. Okay. Look, I know you’re feeling some things and maybe rejected, but you’ve moved on. Stuff has moved on. You guys seriously? Stefan’s moved on. You you moved on with With who? With her.

So, so what’s the deal? You, you go trick or treating with Holly and then next you’re a couple. You knew I had feelings for. True. Yeah. Yes. You haven’t stopped reminding me. And, and, and, and you, uh, you work very fast, don’t you? I mean, you’ve been broken up with Brady for what, like five minutes and Brady just moved Kristen into his house.

Really? Really. So why shouldn’t Chloe be able to move on with her life? No reason at all, I suppose. And, and, and next you’re gonna tell me that, uh, your wedding date is at Christmas. Now, uh, see, Stephan and I we’re taking things slowly. Oh. But not too slowly. Right. Good for you. Yep. Good for you. Why don’t you tell me where you register?

I’ll buy you steak knives. I don’t know what’s taking Lisa Long. I’m gonna go find him.

Thought she’d never leave.

Jayden, can we at least talk? There’s nothing to talk about. You want to be with Nicole, so go. I don’t need you in my life. I am very capable of taking care of myself, but this isn’t just about you anymore. And that’s the point, isn’t it? You’d probably be with Nicole right now if I hadn’t learned that I was pregnant, but you.

And that involves me. We’re in this together. You know, I’m gonna give you two some privacy. Jada, if you need anything, just say the word. Thanks, Ray. Yeah, and listen, if you need to take any time off, I’ll let you know down the line depending on what I decide to do, right? Yeah, I understand.

Like I said, I’m gonna go back, Jada, wait.

We have separate rooms and you paid your rent through the end of the month. Don’t feel like you have to rush out.

Okay? I guess I could take some time to think things through. I know you have decisions to make,

but before you do, I just want you to know one. What’s that?

You do not know what Eric is going to do. Oh, just because Jade is pregnant doesn’t mean he’s going to stay with her. Hey, this is the 21st century people co-parent all the time, and they aren’t couples. This is Eric Brady we’re talking about. Do you really think he’s gonna walk away from his own child or the.

Of his child. I mean, look at you and Chloe. Chloe and I are a completely different situation. No, you’re not. Yeah, no. Because you love her and she loves you, and you broke up with her and moved back in with Kristen because she’s the mother of your child. Am I right?

Didn’t your sister just get into town? I mean, why would she know anything about Stephan? Much less care about what happened to. I don’t know. I, I’ve been racking my brain trying to figure out what could be driving her. Okay.

I’m, I’m, unless what, do you remember recently when we were talking in the conference room? Yes. We opened the door and, and she was right there. She said she dropped her phone. Right, right, right. She, uh, maybe she was actually eavesdropping, did we say? We were talking about Rolf. Right, right, right. But but you, you didn’t mention Jakarta.

We, you just said that he was overseas. Yeah, but it’s, it’s, it’s all starting to add up now. Jing Gwen has always been too curious for her own good. Mm-hmm. or ours. Seems. Well, Lee, you are gonna have to track down your little sister and get her in line before she finds out what you did to Stephan.

Brainwashing. Stephan. I don’t know where you heard that. I got it straight from the horse’s mouth. My brother, or are you calling me a liar? Of course not. I’m just surprised he confided in you. Well, we tell each other everything. The ferry close. I see. And he was extremely grateful for what you did. Making sure Stephan didn’t come between him and Gabby there.

I was happy to have, yes. Okay. Okay. Now we just need to get my dad’s involvement on record.

Working at Damara headquarters has been really enlightening. Hmm. Zing. All the alliances. This seemed to change by the. Oh, it is an invigorating place to work. After all, change is the spice of life. Very true. And also, a few weeks ago, Lee and EJ Derro were mortal enemies. And now what was that? What was that?

I didn’t hear anything. I’m registering a sudden electromagnetic interference.

I seem to have found the source and it is you.

Your brother didn’t send you Diddy. Jing. Then what are you really doing here? You’re varying via, don’t you come near me, old man. I have a third degree black belt. What doing with that ready?

Wendy. Wendy.

I don’t know why I lost my cool and I, I don’t know what kind of reaction she was trying to get outta me, rambling on and on about her wedding like that. I mean, was she trying to make me jealous? Clearly, I keep telling her I feel nothing but contempt when I look. Are you sure about that?

What I did to Stephan? You mean what we did to him? Oh, credit. Where credit is duly. It was your idea, which you gladly went along with. Yeah, but if I’m found out, no one’s going to care. You see, it’s one of the advantages of my reput. Everyone expects me to be underhanded and devious and see since Brady and Chloe have already broken up, if Stephan does get his memory back, it’ll make no difference to me.

But on the other hand, if Gabby does find out what you did to Stephan. Oh, hanging too. It’s going on

this situation with Kristen and me. It was extremely complicated. I know, I know. But what’s pretty simple is the two of you are together again, raising your child. Jada is not Kristen. Well, neither am I. You know when EJ and I were together, I was so desperate to hold on to him. I stole your sister’s baby after I had a miscarriage and EJ stayed with me and he is hardly a man of honor and.

Whereas we both know that Eric believes in the old-fashioned traditional definition of family, as if that’s what we grew up with. Well, maybe that’s what he’s always dreamed of, and he’s never been so close to having it as he is now. I’m sorry. I’m sorry about all this. And I’m sorry that I allowed us to get too.

Yeah, well, it’s a good thing you realize this sooner rather than later that you were in love with Nicole. Although I have suspected it, I just was, I just chose to be in denial about it. I thought we were always safe. If you’re referring to birth control, it’s not a hundred percent like Sarah told us when she first gave us the news.

I know you. It’s your body, it’s your choice, and I’ll support you in whatever you want to do. Really, Eric, I’m kind of surprised since you were a priest that you’re so open-minded. I left the priesthood twice, so I’m not gonna be dog manic or make any demands, but if this makes a difference, I always wanted a.

I never, I never thought I could have one on my own. I’m only telling you this, so you know, if you do decide to carry the baby, you can count on my support financially in any other way he want.

I’ll be there a hundred percent for this baby and for you if you want me to be. And where does that leave you in, Nicole?

I can’t ask Eric to turn his back on the one thing that he’s wanted his whole life. He’s wanted you his whole life. I know you’ve spent a lot of your life thinking that you don’t really deserve happiness, Nick, you are wrong. You do. You do. And so does Eric, and my hope is that two of you kind of find that happiness together.

Thank youre. Thank you for being the best friend anyone could ask for.

Ah, there you are, laptop. I took it by the pod, but you weren’t there. Sort about Jada’s news. Because that really throws a wrench into your plans with Eric. But uh, clearly you’ve already moved on Ray Rays just being a friend. Oh, right. Okay. Is he? Well, that’s great. But, uh, you know, no one knew you should keep your options open.

Just don’t never come crawling back to me.

Am I sure I hate. Let me count the ways you still don’t seem convinced. Well, you seem very eager to throw whatever this thing is that we have going on in her face. Well, of course, I wanted her to see that. I am very happy with you. You are the only woman for me.

Am I interrupting something? Kristen was just asking for her job back and she got upset when I said I couldn’t help her. Not without AJ’s approval. I am only second in command after all. Well, it was worth a shot. Well, since there’s nothing you can do for me, there’s no point in me wasting your time or mine.

Hmm.

Lee, are you lying to me? What are you talking about? Well, you told me you talked to EJ about getting Kapi Sheik back to me, but you just told Kristen you couldn’t even get her her old job back at de. You, you made it seem like getting Gabby Sheik back to me was very doable. Why? Why did you tell me you had the power to help me?

They’re two completely different situations. Gabby EJ sees Kristen as a traitor. He doesn’t want her anywhere near him, but since you are out of Dara, you’re more of a minor annoyance to him. He doesn’t need two fashion houses. Right. Yeah. Thank you. You, you’re the best. Yeah. Question. Um, did you manage to find your sister?

Mm, yeah. Well, it turns out Jwe was playing hokey. That’s strange. But she was so eager about getting this job at Dara headquarters. What, why would she blow it off on her second week at work? You don’t know Jing Wen as well as I do. She is, uh, full of Surpris.

Wendy. Wendy. Hey. Hey. Can you hear me? Oh my God. What did he do to you?

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 Can’t believe we’re finally here. Beautiful downtown Jakarta, you only tell us what, uh, 36 hours. No, I’m so tired. I don’t know who I am, let alone my time. It is now. I thought a private jet was supposed to save time. Yeah, well, even if private plane can’t fly through a monsoon, so, Ugh. Real horizontal bed.

Hey, be careful with that stuff. That’s got my film equipment in it. It costs a fortune. Yeah. What you totally don’t need. Look, I’ve never been to Indonesia before and as a filmmaker, I want to document my experience. Okay? Listen up scsi. We’re not here to make a movie. We’re here to find out if your dad and my brother brainwashed Stephan.

Got it.

Ej, we need to talk. What are you doing in my chair? It’s not your chair. Okay, well, what are you doing in ejs Chair? Ejs outta the office today. Attending to a personal matter. Okay, well, I’m here attending to a personal matter myself. I want my company back

and something wrong. Should I go get those puppets back from Henry to make sure that we do this right? You wanna make dumb jokes or kiss?

You are telling me there was no Mr. Re client or the, the threats, the extortion. You weren’t representing someone else. It was just me all along. So you decide to put me and my daughter through hell for the money? No. I wanted to make you suffer for revenge. Revenge For what? For what? Just who the hell are you?

It’s true. You’ve killed someone. Yes. I, I did. I don’t buy a Dupree. You’ve never hurt anyone. But I did, and I have lived with it for years. But you never said anything I was gonna tell you a couple of weeks ago, but I, I couldn’t and I didn’t want you to know, but. Now everyone is going to know that a woman is dead and she’s dead

because of me.

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

This isn’t your company, Gabby. We kicked you out. Remember I’m talking about Gabby Sheik. Which is now part of Dara. Why on earth would we give it back? Because you have basic black, why would you need another fashion house? Because Gabby Sheik makes us lots of money and Dara is like companies that make us lots of money, right?

But it’s my company. I built it from the ground up. It’s my concept. It’s our company. And maybe you should have done a better job at retaining the rights. It has. My name Gabby. The answer is, You can go

say there’s nothing you can do to change my mind. Oh, well how about this?

Am I interrupting?

I know why. You don’t have to bite my head off. Okay. Well, you don’t have to start sentences As a filmmaker,

I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I am nine degrees of Chet Laed. I’m here to find out if my brother did or did not do something. She really reprehensible. I’m just trying to think that maybe he did.

I don’t wanna know. I think maybe I have to look, I guess, uh, I guess I’m just so used to everyone in my family being willing to do anything to get what they want, if it means anything. If Lee is involved in brainwashing stuff and he did it because he really loves Gabby, my dad just did it for. We’re force of habits and the deras have been taking over people’s brains for generations.

It’s kind of like handing down the family recipe for pasta, fa, joli. They’re sweet in kind of a creepy way. Thank you. From what I heard at the office, your dad and my brother had this together. They sent wolf out of the country to cover their tracks. Now we need to figure out what he knows.

First we gotta find him. No, first I need to take a shower. I feel like I was born in these clothes.

Something tells me you stepped on a whole lot of people as you claw your way up in this. So I guess I’m not surprised that you have no idea who I am. So you think that I’ve wronged you somehow, you and your daughter. So to pay us back, you started digging for dirt and found out about that incident in London.

It was not an incident, it was a death, and I took that death very, very personally. Dupre. You need to know that you are looking at someone who is going to love you no matter what. I’m not so sure about that. Well, it doesn’t matter. I am. I don’t want you to know this about me, but you deserve to know the truth.

You better sit down.

Lee, your fiance and I were just talking shop. Oh, bilingually. By the way, will you tell this little minion here that, uh, Gabby Sheik is mine and that I’d like to have it returned to me asap, Gabby. There’s no way in hell EJ is going to return that little dress shop of yours. It’s mine. Gabby, lemme just talk to EJ about it, see what we can work out.

Oh man. Lee, it looks like your personal life and your professional life are on a major collision course. I mean, you’re in love with Gabby, you’re working for ej. Looks like you’re caught between a rock and a Dera place. Will you please just shut up? Hmm. So touchy pre-wedding jitters bride. Lee, unless you have some business here, I’ve got work to do.

I was actually looking for Jing Wen, but she wasn’t in her office. Where is she’s working remotely today. Really? From where?

What are you doing? Answering work? Emails. I have to keep people from wondering why I’m not in the office. Right. Are you going to get dressed? Am I distracting you? Yeah, cuz you’re dripping water everywhere. Ah, there’s already water everywhere. It’s humid as hell. At least imagine. Tell us more of a dry heat.

Hmm. Uh, well, before I get dressed, I had a thought in the shower and I wanted to share it with you that you should stop shaving your chest hair. Nope. Don’t shave my chest tears. I just don’t grow any. Anyway, the thought that I. Was Rolf in his experiments, right? How he lives for them. I don’t think there’s any way that he would’ve ever agreed to come here if my dad and your brother didn’t set him up with some kind of lab, a high tech one.

That sounds like a good place to start. Hey, Stephanie. It’s uh, it’s Chad. Look, I just wanted to give you a heads up. Apparently Sloan gave Gwen Rez check her file on Chanel. Um, I, I, I convinced her to sit down and, and run the story about trash instead. I think that we should still probably get together and figure out how we want to move forward.

Um, just gimme a call. Okay. Bye.

That was nice. I’m glad you proof. We should stop though, because Henry’s in the other room and he could wander back in. I don’t like it, but you’re right. Can’t traumatize the kid. Yeah. Ally has enough to deal with as it is. It all happened when I was living in London and I was still in college. Um, university.

And it was my senior year and I had an affair with one of my professors. And she was the woman who died? No, no. Um, she was married to him and, um, he was the very dreamy doctor Nathan. Bedford,

I was struggling in his class and you know, the bread, they, they grew up reading Dickens and I was just lost. And so I thought that’s why he was getting me extra attention and he was trying to, I, well I thought he was trying to help me, um, catch up in his classes and I, um, I would go to his office. Office hours cuz he asked me to.

And he, he really seemed like he, he cared about what I, what I thought. Hmm. I’m sure he did. Anyway, uh, we were reading Bleak House and he took me to the rooftop of the English department and he wanted to show me some of the locations from the book. And Ali, oh God. It was, it was beautiful. The sun was setting over the Tims and he pointed out to where Chancery was and ah, I, I leaned over to try to see it and I got scared and he.

He pulled me back and he kissed me

and it was, it was thrilling to me. And that was the start of the affair

and the start of. The worst thing that has ever happened to me.

So I love my wedding present. A new bride per book. Yeah. Hello. That’s between, uh, that and what to, uh, expect on your wedding night. , you’re so hilarious. So how are you? Just don’t ask me that because I am really doing fine, except when Roman is always asking me how I’m doing and then that drives me crazy.

Well, that’s because he was scared he was gonna lose you. So was I. I know. And are you, you both went through a love. So how are you doing? You probably have a lot on your plate with this Paulina situation. . Yeah. Stephanie and I have been on full damage control since the story broke. Yeah. How’s that going?

Given how you feel about her? You remember that? Yes. I remember it. Dying. I wasn’t dead. And how did you So elegantly put it really into her. Well, yeah. And then I also said that I wasn’t ready for anything to happen between us. Yeah. Well is that still the case?

It doesn’t matter. It’s a moot point. She’s dating Alex Carri.

Oh, well this is domesticated now, isn’t it? Oh yeah. Maybe later we can watch a cooking show. Oh yeah. Mm-hmm. , you gotta say, it is hard to believe. A couple weeks ago you couldn’t stand me, and now I put, apparently you can sort of call . You have to admit, when we first met you were. Obnoxious. Ouch. The touche.

I was trying to be disarming. Well, it wasn’t completely your fault. He was bad timing. Meaning the last guy I dated, he came on strong like you did. Like I was the end all and the be all. I mean, I really fell for it. But then he just, um, well you spell Ghosted, , and, um, there you were following the exact same playbook, so I wasn’t about to let you or any man play me like that Again, those months were, Oh, they were magic.

And it wasn’t just about the sex. He would give me books to read that I never heard of, and he’d ask me questions about what I thought and what I felt about those books, and, and then it would be days later and we will be lying in bed and then outta nowhere, he’d say, oh, I was thinking about what you said.

And it was just it. It made me feel like he not only listened, but he actually took what I said serious. It was the polar opposite of mama. He, he actually treated me like I was an adult. But you were a kid. Chanel, he was your teacher. He, he used his position and his status to, sorry, go on.

Um,

you know how it goes. Um. I fell head over heels in love with him and I was gonna marry him and I was going to inspire him to finish the novel that he knew he had in him. And what about the wife?

Uh, you’ll be stunned to hear that he told me the marriage was loveless and toxic and that he was just there for the kids, and now the kids were gone. How long were you two together? Almost the whole semester.

And then one night I got this text from him saying to meet him on the rooftop hour up our. Special place only when I got there. It wasn’t him,

it was the wife.

Just how personal is this vendetta of yours? It’s finally clicking into place, isn’t it?

I didn’t see it before, maybe because I never. But I’ve seen a picture and now I can see a slight resemblance. Yeah, people always did say I had her eyes. Dr. Bedford’s wife, the one who Chanel murdered.

Shouldn’t pick up. Wonder where she is? Well, she’s probably at home. Right? I’ll see if I have her new address. Well, I know where it is. She’s, um, staying with Allie and Chanel. When did that happen? Wendy said, Johnny set it up. Okay, well, um, I guess I’ll head over there now. One head over with me. Actually, I’m gonna get the Gabby Sheik paperwork ready so that when EJ gives me the, okay, I can hit the ground running.

Oh, hang on. I just got a weather report here. It says once EJ gives the, okay, hell will freeze over and I’ll see you tonight. You know, I think, um, I’m gonna wait for you to come back here with him. Did I not mention that I have work to. The printer should have the wedding invitation proofs within the hour, and I thought we could look them over together.

You’re sure you wanna wait? Well, I mean, I’d like to get them approved as soon as possible. Okay. I’ll be back as soon as I can play. Nice.

Any luck? I’ve been using my access to damer files, to local police corporate expenses and so far I don’t see any payments for lapse on your Carta. Did you try using my father’s too? Nothing. But what if they’re disguising? The lease is just regular office space. All they do lease a lot of buildings here.

Whatever it is, it would take a lot more power. Right to, to power a full-blown lab. You’re right. Than an actual office. I’ll, I’ll look up electricity pills.

Bingo.

She, she must have read the, the text because she, she knew about the, um, the rooftop and she. She’d set the whole thing up and when, when I got there and she saw me, she lost it. And I can’t even tell you the thing she called me, but the nicest one was home wrecker. And I should have just turned around and left, but I was, I was so stupid young.

You were young. Anyway, I don’t know why, but I, I tried to explain to her that he was unhappy with her and that he loved me and that he was going to divorce her and marry me, and she just looked right at me and said, he’s mine, and then she slapped me. She never said she loved him. Just, he’s mine.

And then she told me that he was lying to me and that he would never leave her or their bay water flat with a garden bitch. And then I said, oh, and I shouldn’t have, I should have, what did you say? Is that flat? Yours too. And, oh, God, ally, she lost it. She, she just, she charged me like a rocket. And I, I, I tried to get away.

I tried it, but it all happened so fast and I tried to push her away, but, but I, I didn’t realize how close we were to the edge and then,

I can still hear her scream,

and then I looked over the side and she was lying there in a pool of blood and

I killed her rally. I killed her.

My mother was the strongest, smartest woman I’ve ever known. She was the reason I became a lawyer. I always wanted to be just. I was actually in law school when I, uh, I got the call, they said she’d killed herself, which didn’t make any sense. But, uh, but then my dad called and uh, he said it was true. What exactly did he tell you?

That he told her he wanted a divorce and she couldn’t take it, so she jumped off a building, but, Again, didn’t make any sense because she’s a fighter. She would never do that. So your father never told you about Chanel? Oh, you mean his side piece? Watch it. No, he didn’t share that part of the story with me.

And when he resigned his position, I thought it was because he was grieving. Of course, now I know the truth. And when he stopped working on that novel that he always talked about, he started drinking himself to death. When you first started to blackmail me, I looked into his whereabouts. I saw that he died a couple years ago.

When he was dying, he took my hand and he told me that my mother hadn’t really killed herself. It was at his funeral that I decided to find out what had really happened, which is when I found out that your precious little Chanel had killed my mother.

What happened next?

I didn’t know what to do. I, I just stood there frozen for a long, long time, and then all of a sudden the campus. Burst through the door of the rooftop, and they took me down to their office and they asked me what happened, and I couldn’t even really hear what they were saying because I just kept hearing her in my head.

I kept hearing what she said to me that, that I was a slut and a home record, and she told me that she had children and that I had ruined their lives. And, and so then I just, I just blurted out, it’s my fault. It’s my fault. And I told them that I was having an affair with her husband and that. I pushed her and I even signed a statement.

I don’t understand. I mean, obviously there was no trial

and no one seems to know about this. How did you keep it quiet?

Are you at all interested in the truth, or do you just wanna be a self-righteous victim? Oh, I know the truth. I read her statements. She admitted she pushed my mother. Well, sh she admitted she pushed her only to protect herself. No, she didn’t lure your mother to that roof. She didn’t lunge at your mother.

If it was self-defense, why did you cover it up? You hid the evidence, the surveillance photos, the. Not to mention the hush money you gave this school. Well, she’d been through enough. She got off Scott free. She seduced my father, killed my mother. And then you just went and cuted it up.

So Stephanie’s dating Sonny’s brother. It was one date. How do you feel about that? I think that she can do better, but I’m a friend, so I’m gonna support her because that’s what friends do. Oh, I. Um, what happens when you decide that you want to be more than France? I don’t know, Kate. I don’t know if or when I will be ready to move on.

I, I’m, I, I might never move on with someone else again. I might never be with anybody else, ever again. Oh, come on. Don’t say that. I think I know Abigail would want you to fall in love. I just hope that you don’t wait too long. Oh, Stephanie and Alex May have crashed and burned by then. I’ll fallen madly in love.

Thank you. You know, I am ashamed to admit that I have certainly ghosted my fair share of women, although I was pretty upfront about what. intentions were, you know, I wasn’t looking for love or any type of commitment. Just a good time. Looking back on that now, it’s a pretty crappy thing to do. Hmm. And why were you so scared of love?

I wasn’t scared of love, I just, I was averse to it. An important distinction.

I honestly think it’s cuz of my mom. Angelica. Yeah. Yeah. She always, she always told me growing up the entire time that love was this trap full of misery and pain and upbeat was. Yeah, she was a pretty bitter woman after my dad left her for Adrian. So rather than getting hurt again, she just went from one meaningless fling to the next, and I guess I kind of followed her lead.

Could I tell you this though? The woman wasn’t wrong. If you don’t care, you don’t get hurt.

But then, But what my mom went on to live this really sad life after my dad was gone. She just became kind of desperate. That must have been really hard to watch, especially after my dad and Adrian seemingly had it all. You know, I told myself this whole time that I was just like my.

That I would never have what they did,

and I met you.

When you said you were going to wait for Leah, I didn’t realize you meant in my office. Shut your office. Well, could you keep it down please? The noise is driving me nuts. I can’t focus. Oh, it’s the printer. Sounds private. Maybe you should take it in the hall. Martin. Hi. Yes. Did you send over? No, no, no, no. I don’t have the name of the fonts.

I dunno them off the top of my head, but you know what? I am in my old office. You know what? They could be here. Hang on a second. Wait. See? Ej, did it move so much here?

Hi. Hi, can I help you? I’m Lee Shin Jing. Wen uh, Wendy’s brother. Is she here? The new roommate? No, I’m sorry. Um, Ellie told me she left town. Oh. Um, did she say where she went? No, not as I recall. Sorry. Well, thanks for your time. For sure. And if, uh, I hear from all and she says anything, we’ll be sure to let you.

I’d appreciate that. Take care. You too.

This is Lee in. I need you to locate my sister. So if we’re right, Dr. Ralf slab is only a few miles away and with Jakarta traffic, that should be what? An hour? We better get a move on. Wait, wait, wait. We don’t even have a plan. Even if we do find this guy, he’s not just gonna admit that he brainwashed someone.

Uh, then I’ll say I’m here on Lee’s behalf, uh, that he wants me to make sure he has everything he needs. Okay. Yeah, and I’ll, I’ll say that my dad sent me. Oh, too risky. I’m sure he knows you’ve been on the office with your dad. It’s better if I go alone. I’ll, I feel like I’m in on everything. Trick him into confessing.

No, no, no. We, he’s just gonna deny it later. We need proof. Okay. Uh, I can use my phone to record him

and actually I have a better idea after the campus cops took my statement. I called my mother and she was on the next plane to London telling her about Nathan what happened. It was the hardest thing that I’d ever had to do. She just went into mother bear mode and when she got there, she met with the president of the school and she convinced him that it would be a huge scandal if the truth came out.

A distinguished professor having an affair with a young, impressionable student and, uh, she also offered to make a sizable donation. Make it all go away and the president agreed, they issued a statement saying that Martha, Committed suicide and the surveillance photos and my statement, they all just disappeared as far as anyone knew.

I was never there that night.

So how did Sloan and her client get all this evidence? I have no idea. How long have you been plotting all this? About a year. I tracked you and Chanel down to Salem, set up my practice here using my mother’s maiden name, Peterson. I didn’t want you to see me coming. And then I waited for the perfect moment to make my move to do as much damage as possible when I was running for governor.

Write smack dab in the public. You know, you are very much like your mother. You find out your father’s a lion cheat who said your mother committed suicide to cover his butt down zero 60. You go blaming someone else lies, threats named calling blackmail with no reflection. There might be another side to the story and that maybe your mother isn’t quite the feminist saint that you make her out to be.

Don’t you say another word about my mother? I’m just saying you.

And Chanel is like me and vice versa. So you have, uh, metaphorically lured me to the rooftop. You talking smack you threatening me thinking you got me in your clutches. But as I said, my daughter and I are very much alike. Someone charges me, I shov back hard. So you might want to think about where you might land.

You need to listen to me. That woman attacked you. It was self-defense. I go at her. She’s the one who lured you to the rooftop in the first place. I was sleeping with her husband. That professor prayed on you. Tell me, after this happened, did he even try and help you? I never saw him again. He was forced to resign.

Poor. Allie, you don’t understand the guilt. I, I kept pushing it down, trying to deny it, and that’s why I was in the party scene when we met. But don’t you see it’s all come back because, because I never paid for what I did. I killed that woman. And now, I have to face the consequences

no matter what you say. Chanel is going to prison the hell she is. Now I know it must be hard for you to accept the fact that your father was a drunken sex addict, and your mother lured a young woman to the roof that night to punish her, humiliate her, make her pay. She instigated that fight. Chanel was only defending herself and.

I am not going to let your neurotic need to rewrite history, ruin my daughter’s life. No. She is gonna get what’s coming to her, what she deserves, and so are you. And that’s a promise. Sorry I never met you folks. Sound like a fun couple

baby.

Everything. Okay. Um, Chad left me a message about the situation with Paulina. I’d, I’d better go check in. Okay. If you must. Thank you for coming by and helping me out with Henry. Hmm. No problem. But, Before you go, do you think maybe we could go on another date? I think I would look forward to that.

I don’t wanna hold Stephanie back when I can’t promise anything. Oh God. There you go again, always having to be fair. Always having to do the right thing. I don’t even know why I like you.

Oh honey. If I push you, it’s just because I want you to be happy again. Yeah, yeah. I know. I know. Yeah. I’m so glad I was able to find my. Thank you Martin. I’m gonna, I’ll be waiting for your email. Okay. Time for you to go. I’m waiting for me. Wait somewhere else. I don’t wanna wait somewhere else. Okay. Too bad.

Get your hands off me. I want you outta here now. No.

Did you find my sister? She logged in from where?

Hey. Hey. You ready for your hidden mic? Oh, I am now. I wasn’t about to let you get anywhere near me until I showered. Okay. Uh, Lift up your shirt.

Just gonna take this in, uh, right here,

this mic. We’ll pick up everything that Groff says and I will be right outside. So I guess the film equipment came in handy after all.

How’s that feel? Feels good. I mean, it’s fine.

Am I making you nervous? Why would I be nervous? I dunno. You tell me.

I was the target before. Saw the scars from the hatch job first. They went after my one night stand with Glen Resk, and then my alleged affair with Leo Stark Lime rat. Good morning, governor Elect price. I have your schedule, your call log your half, half vanilla soy with just a dusting of turmeric.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t find your favorite pastry that bearclaw from Sweet Bits. So I took the initiative of making you a cake and a mug in the microwave. You fired Mary. Uh, but I’m Leo, I don’t give a damn what your name is. I’m kicking your ass to the curb. You are done here, but I I, I’m the only one standing between you and all those blood thirsty reporters out there.

I just told them I saw Barbara Streisand putting in her advanced order at the Brady Pub for 800 taken baked turkeys for all those weird underground mall employees. She has those press vs flanked over there in a wild goose chase. But they’ll be back. But you won’t. I’ll take my chances with the press.

But you are the voucher I need to get rid of. Cause you are the reason that my daughter was arrested for murder.

It’s just a matter of time. Chanel, trust me, it’ll be better for all of us. Even you if you just confess what the hell is going on here? You know damn well you can’t question my client without me present. I was merely checking in with our guest here and since you finally decided to join. I’d like to ask you a few questions Chanel, and get the answers we are all looking for, and I assume that your attorney has had a chance to look over the file of evidence that we have.

Yes. As a matter of fact, I’ve had a chance to look it over and that’s exactly why I’m here to insist that you drop all of these charges.

Why would I believe a single word that came out of your mouth? You never know. Maybe I have some insights that could be valuable to you. . Yeah, not a chance. What do you think the state bar would do if they found out that you coaxed Leo Stark, your client? Into lying to the police gui to dignify that with the, and how do you think that the state bar would react if they found out that said obstruction of justice led to the wrongful arrest of an innocent party?

Namely me, you know, if this really is your line of questioning, I would say that there’s no proof that I had any knowledge of my client’s true intentions. And with the information that my client gave me, I acted in his best. Also, I am currently available for council. So why don’t you hop on over to my website, uh, you know, for the little piece you’re writing, why don’t you go to Hill?

Actually,

better question. Do you have any knowledge of who gave Melinda Trask the dirt on Chanel dupree? And the answer, ding, ding, ding. Is me. Great. Your skeezy lawyer friend is the one who had evidence on Chanel. Where did she get it? I don’t know. And for the record, Sloan is no longer my friend or anything else for that matter.

Ever since she has proven to me that she’s nothing but a ambulance chasing she Devil. Yes, that should pretty much be on her business card. And now it turns out that she’s blackmailing Chanel’s mother for some mystery. Not that I even had a clue about that when I stole the file of evidence from her apartment.

Oh, wow. I mean, thank you. Please do not thank me yet. It’s not the end of the story. Sloane somehow got the file back. She gave it to the da. Why on earth would I drop the charges when I have everything I need to convict your client right here in this little file. Right. Listen, I know you’re really busy, so you might have forgotten, but we’re in Salem.

Oh, is that where we are? Yes. And the incident in question actually happened when Chanel was living abroad in the United Kingdom. So Ms. Trask, you don’t actually have jurisdiction. So I’m just gonna go find someone to uncuff you and get you out of here. Oh my God, thank you so much. I wouldn’t thank her just yet.

Ms. Dupree, because you aren’t going anywhere, I have obtained permission from Scotland Luard to question your client on their behalf, . Okay? You think a judge is gonna buy that? Mm, I’m sure. Or else I wouldn’t have gone through the trouble. Okay. We’ll see at the arraignment, but until there’s a ruling, my client’s not answering any more of your questions.

Okay, sure. Fine by me. Oh, uh, Ms. Brady, did you happen to see your husband out there when you were making your call? What do you want with Sean? Well, we’re gonna need someone to haul in Chanel’s mother for question. If your client won’t talk, maybe Governor elect price will

Ms. Price. If you would just let me explain what the hell is there to explain. See, Stephanie Johnson told me. Everything. So now I know that you, you, you took sw, you are the one who left that Sloan Peterson into my safe. Well, no, no, she didn’t tell you everything because she left out the part about being an accident.

I only opened up that safe in my capacity as your assistant to execute your executive orders. You said I could have an advance on my salary. Remember, that’s what this is about. The payback said shyster, and I didn’t want to interrupt the newly elected governor of this great state. So I opened up the safe and I took the advance from petty cash.

Not a penny more you can check, but I had no idea those documents were in there and no idea that sneaky Succubus was gonna smash them out from behind my back. I know you probably want to kill me right about now. Don’t gimme any ideas.

How did Governor Elect price persuade the voters that she was the Law and Order candidate when she has a daughter in prison for murder and another on the way there for that same charge. And then the journalist goes on to, to say that Hanau was let away in handcuffs on election night and then declares their guilt as if he’s judge, jury, and executioner.

I mean, it seems like he’s, he’s, he’s coming at this like he’s got a personal vendetta. You know? There’s not a single fact. Okay. Okay. But until we know the full story, let’s stop focusing on the little details. Fact or fiction. Right now, our only job is to take care of Paulino and her family. So the question is how do we spend this?

What do you want with my mama? I think you know, Ms. Dupree, that this file has evidence that your mother is an accomplice after the fact that she covered up your crime to cover your ass. And that is, as I’m sure you know, illegal and I think the good people of this state should know who they elected as their.

I’ll just go get a detective and go down to our campaign offices. And if Sean isn’t available, well, I’ve planned people on staff that can make the arrest. No, no. Wait, I will answer your questions. No, Chanel don’t. Yes. Do this. Yes. Ask me anything you want and I will answer. I will not let my mother pay for something that I did.

Wait, I think I got it. Okay. You said that reporter wrote the articles if it was personal. Well, our venomous district attorney makes everything personal, right, that she does from what I’ve read and heard. She was determined to put Pauline’s daughter Lonnie behind bars for the rest of her life and would therefore be deeply disappointed if not infuriated, that that did not happen because Pauline had forced her hand, made her cut a deal.

So if she couldn’t get one daughter, then you get the other one that could work. That’s brilliant. You’re brilliant. Okay. Let’s keep the spin focused on our clients. But, okay. How do we, how do we drive this home? How do we get this story about a da with an ax to grind to a media outlet that doesn’t do hatchet jobs?

Well, I, uh, I have an in, what’s the only reputable newspaper in town? Of course, uncle Jack owns a spectator. Yeah. But Jack’s visiting Jennifer in New York, but they did hire a new reporter who I think is a year to make her mark. And you know, this person more intimately than I’d like to.

Check’s daughter. Great. What do you think Gwen Riz check will do you a favor given her history. I don’t know. I’ll make it happen. So you are the one who gave evidence against Chanel Dask. Guilty.

Right. So first you try to railroad me and now you are going after the governor elect’s daughter. What did you, did you vote for the other guy? No, no, no. I don’t get involved in politics. There’s way more money in the middle. Yeah. There’s also lots of money in fabricating evidence. Isn. Fine. Don’t take my word for it.

Never. Well, why don’t you be the judge? I can just send you the file. What’s your angle here? I have no angle. I’m just doing my duty as a good citizen. Besides, I think the people deserve to know the truth that that mommy of two murderers just got elected as governor. Keep an eye out from my email.

Look, I had no idea what was in that file, had anything to do with Chanel, and if I had known that, I would’ve burned the damn thing right then and there. Yeah, but you didn’t know, I mean, you were just trying to help. Yeah, and then I ended up causing a colossal mess.

Look, right now, I am here for you and to help you any way I possibly can. That’s it. Thank you.

Oh my God. Okay. Ray said that he pulled some strings. I can go see Chanel. That’s great. You gotta go. Oh yeah, I know. It’s such a relief. He said I can go right now. Perfect. Good. Cool. Hey, um, oh my, what am I gonna do about Henry? I obviously can’t bring him there and my new roommate’s outta town. I can babysit.

Really? You don’t? You don’t mind? I don’t mind. What do you mean? I just told you whatever I can do to help. You just said I don’t want my mother to pay for what I did. Is that an admission of guilt? Mr. Dpri? You do not answer that. Okay, fine. Let’s start with an easy one. Do you recognize this woman in this photo?

Yes. What’s her name? Martha Bedford. And this one, is that you? Yes. When I was in college. And here is the copy of the incident report. Is that your signature at the bottom indicating that this is your sworn statement?

Yes. So you admit you are the one who murdered Martha Bedford. Okay, we’re gonna stop right there. Don’t say another word. I can bring her mother in here if I need to. You know what? You can bring in her mother, her grandmother, the Pope, or the Easter bunny. This interview is over.

I did not give you the okay to open my safe, did I? Did I? So since you took that upon yourself, my little girl was arrested for murder. But she didn’t do it right. She’s innocent, isn’t she? Ms. Price? I understand exactly what your daughter is going through. I too have been falsely accused and it’s traumatic.

It’s horrible. I still have nightmares about it, except Chanel isn’t being falsely accused, is she? She’s guilty of sin.

Yeah, more lies from the desk of Sloan Peterson. I swear to God, if I get a virus from opening his attachment, I’m gonna bloody kill.

Oh my God. Hello Gwen. Sorry. I know you just, um, you just started at the Spectator and, uh, and boy do I have, I have a big. Story for you. Trust me, you are gonna want this byline. Not as big as the fish that I just landed.

You’ve tricked me. I turned my back for one second. Counting the money to pay you back and you pluck a personal file from safe. That’s theft. And now you’ve returned to the scene of the crime. Call the police. I have no problem testifying against her. I see you’re back to your old tricks, Mr. Stark. You just said your back was turned.

So how can you testify as a witness? Uh, no, you said that. I said my back was turned and now I retract that statement. I will have no problem telling the cops I saw you reach into that safe. Now I see it. I kept asking myself over and over, why, why would she hire this little pip squeak? And now it’s so clear.

Go, you’re done here. I’m just trying to help and you’re making things worse now just get. Fine, but you have not seen the last of me Peterson, and mark my words. You will eventually be very, very sorry. You ever messed with me in such an appallingly, deceitful way,

and good luck finding turmeric in this little burg I bought out Salem’s entire supply for you.

So, Another daughter made a mess and you swoop and clean it up, but yet again, all your power and money couldn’t save it from blowing up in your face. You know, I really thought this finger paint would come off a little easier, but we’re just gonna have to give you a bath later. For now, you do your thing.

Block time. It’s block time. Yeah. No, mommy must have forgot something. Good work. Yeah. Good work. Oh.

No, I don’t want my mother involved. Chanel. You do not say another word. Counselor, how about you and I have a little chat outside. Huh?

Don’t test me, miss Broody. I will haul in Paulina Price. Oh, please. If you’re going to, you would’ve done that already. I’m here to see my girlfriend finally, and nobody is going to stop me.

Alex, I didn’t expect to see you here. Well, ally went to go see Chanel, so I offered to stay. Henry. Oh, well that was nice of you. I, uh, I came by to see Allie too. I wanted to see if she was doing okay and if she needed help with what to say. You know, the press approaches her. Ah, so you’re here on a PR mission for the governor?

Yeah. Hmm. She was only elected yesterday and already as a major crisis. I’m just here to help however I can. Well, that makes two of us came here with the same message and, uh, Ended up becoming the backup babysitter. Oh, well, looks like you’ve got everything under control on this front. Yeah.

Hey, it’s okay buddy. Hey, it’s okay. Hey, mommy’s gonna be back soon. Promise. Okay. She’s gonna be back soon. Come here. Come on, let’s go. Alright. Alright buddy. She’ll be back soon. Shell be back soon. Maybe I’m needed here. After all,

the prisoner isn’t allowed. Any visitors. Well, commissioner Ray Hernandez says other. Here is his written authorization.

I, I’ll have to have a word with the commissioner actually, last time I checked Ray reports to the mayor, not you. So Yes, you can go in. She’s in there. Thank you.

The mayor, huh? Huh? You mean Mr. Paulina? Price? If he thinks he can sweep all of this under the rug too, then he’s in for a rude, awake.

Leo, are you okay? No Jackson, far from it. I am utterly miserable console me.

Oh, um, I was actually just doing some early Christmas shopping Ferrari, so I should probably, you know, get back. Yeah. You’re such a good daddy. I wish I had an adorable daddy buying me gifts, but this is for sure going to be a screw gear for little old me. You sit for a few. Just a few. I promise I won’t keep you.

Not that I could or should. Unlike me, you have a life, you have a job, a husband, child, family, and friends. Why would you wanna squander time trying to cheer up ale? Mazel like me.

Do you? Um, Do you wanna tell me what’s going on? Where to begin?

Aside from hating myself for being the most annoying person on the planet, by all accounts,

my new career is over before it even began.

I am not quite sure as to what you’re referring. Please. Let’s just skip this part. Okay. Your assistant just threatened to perjury himself. I think we both know where we stand. Well, that man is no longer my assistant. Okay. If you wanna do it that way, fine. Let me just spell it out for you. You lied about the murder of TR Coats to protect your eldest daughter, Lonnie.

Common Knowledge. Right, right. And now Trask knows what Chanel did and how you covered it up. Are we on the same page here now? So two daughters, two crimes, and two coverups. So now it’s only a matter of time if we’re slapped with handguns and let away and disgrace. Does that sound about right? Governor?

I am gonna give you an SJ p r exclusive. Are you, you ready for this? Da Trash Targets Governor Elect and Family over Old Grudge. Hey, uh, Gwen, are you listening to me? I, if you want to be a reporter, you’re gonna have to pull yourself off social media or whatever it is a, a stupid game. You’re, you’re playing and, uh, and focus on the news that’s happening right in front of you.

You know, I r l Baby. Fyi, I am not on social media and I’m not playing a stupid game. In fact, I’m doing research on my. New article. How does this headline sound? Right? Okay. Damning evidence surfaces in Governor elect criminal cover ups what I happen to be in possession of a copy of the evidence against Chanel and her mother.

The reporter never reveals her sources. And what the hell since you’ve seen so obviously invested. Sloane Peterson. Peterson gave you that. Me and Trask. And while Trask is gonna take it to the court, I’m gonna take it to the presses. Oh. Ah, no, no. You can’t publish that. Watch me.

Oh, Dupree. I was so worried about you. Oh, I’m good. Horton. Now that you’re here, and I’m so sorry for where you must be going, forget about me. You’re the one who’s in here. You’re the one who’s being falsely accused. I just, I miss you so much. So does. Oh, sweet Henry, is he here? Is, is he? No, no, no. He’s home.

He’s with Alex. And then I realized I wanted to go all the way home, but I couldn’t. Oh, no. How come? Oh, I wanted to run home, but I realized. I have no legs. Wha What do you mean you have no legs? We a tick. I have no legs either. What do we do? I dunno. But maybe it’s good. Now we found each other you mean because we both have no legs.

Yeah. We’re the same. We’re the same. Well, since we found each other, whatever shall we do, maybe we should kiss. You want me? To kiss you.

Alright. Here goes nothing.

Okay. Well, I mean, it’s not like he actually gave Peterson the file. Of course not. The last person I would ever be in cahoots with is that miserable skank. It was an accident. Did you explain that to Paulina? Madame? Governor Scrooge would not hear it, so she bagged me right out the door like I was a common criminal.

I’m never gonna have my happy ending. Like Bob crotch it. It’s crotch it. Leo, what’d I say? It doesn’t matter. Okay. Just maybe this isn’t the end of the story, you know, maybe Pauline will be visited by three ghosts tonight. I, I doubt it. No, no. I, even though it was an accident, it’s still my fault, son for opening up that damn safe without Ms.

Price’s permission. That was, uh, That was not cool. No, it wasn’t. Even though I didn’t have my usual alleged ill intentions, uh, Jackson, I really was turning the corner. I had a decent job. I was eating well, cutting back on the booze, reading all these self-help books about how to be a decent person. My favorite of which, by the way, is called Stop Fetching and Get a Life, which I highly recommend, and then I blew it.

Okay. Well, you know, on the bright side, you didn’t mean to hurt anyone. You, I mean, at least not this time. True.

I guess. I’m so used to crossing lines. I don’t even see them when they’re right in front of me.

Those allegations haven’t, haven’t been proven. I don’t know that you knew the, the whole reporter thing, but if Abigail were here, she would tell you. Then you need multiple, reliable sources. You can’t print it until you can verify it. Right. Well, I appreciate the, uh, crash course in journalism 1 0 1. Yeah.

Cheers. Thanks. But I’m, I’m good. And, uh, I think the, uh, documents that Sloan sent seem legitimate, so if they’re good enough to ask, but I would go to Jack.

But he’s focused on Jennifer right now. Please, Gwen, I’m begging you don’t publish this.

Give me a reason why not to jack your dad. He trusted you. He gave you this chance. I know you helped Jennifer get the help that she needed. Which shows me that I know that you, you want to be a better person. Keep that going and use the chance that he gave you for good. Don’t do trust dirty work. You know, from experience that Sloan isn’t somebody who who can be trusted.

You have to decide which side do you want to be on it.

Why are you doing. You broke our deal. Well, I stole the file. You stole it back. All fair and love in politics. But we were back to square one. I would’ve paid you all the same. Now you got nothing. When you gave that file to the da, you lost all your leverage. Your client must be thrilled. You cost that dirty blackmail, a ton of money.

I guess since everything’s out in the open now, I’ll let you in on a little secret. This was never about the money.

I had this amazing opportunity and I blew it off to smithereens, but hey, that’s what I’m best at, isn’t it? I threw away an incredible. Access to power. A decent salary. At least I still have all the turmeric a girl could want. I’m sorry. Really? Really?

Um, have you had breakfast, Jeff? Hello? Did grab this on my way out the door. Why? Come in now. Have a bite with me. I would love to, but like I said, I’m poor than Bob Crot. Come on you. You bought me dinner last night. All right. I owe you one. You really wanna be seen with the disgraced ex assistant of the soon to be disgraced Governor Elect.

I could care less what people think. All right. And you and didn’t look like you could use a friend. Are we friends now? Jackson? Mm-hmm. . Let’s just. Let’s start with breakfast. Okay,

well I guess our puppet show knocked him out cuz little Hank is sound asleep. he is. So brushes, I know. You know, our date last night didn’t really, uh, end the way a date is supposed to, you know, a good date anyway. And how does a good date end? Oh, oh. I suppose since we now know that we make such a good team, what else should we possibly do?

Hmm. Maybe we should kiss

fine. I’ll go with your story and I won’t publish the file. Thank you. Until I can verify it’s true. Off the record. I hope it’s not Why, so that I can write the story that I’d prefer to write. Trashing Sloan Peterson and Melinda Trask.

This wasn’t about a payout. It’s always been about a payback. You are telling me your mystery client never wanted a check. No more games. Ms. Peterson, tell me who the hell your client is. Who wants to hurt me in my family? Tell us me. Write this second, or one of us is gonna leave this room in a whole world of.

There is no client. The person who wants payback is me.

Why Belinda? Why are you so hell bent on punishing my client? Why? Why do you let your personal feelings or your need to be vindicated or whatever? Why do you let that prejudice? You like this, to prejudice me? Are you insinuating that I’m in breach of my professional obligations? Have you not let it sink in that I have incontrovertible evidence that this woman committed murder and got away with it, but you don’t.

You know damn well that no evidence is incontrovertible. You know what else I. Is it you are just prolonging the inevitable because Ms. Dupree is going down and so is her mother. This is all so crazy. They’re saying you killed someone. I know you Dupree. I know you better than anyone. There is no way that you could do anything like that.

No way.

I am sorry. I’m so, so sorry, but you’re wrong. I did kill someone.

Days of Our Lives Transcript

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Are you nearly done? You’ve about worn out that carpet. Well, we can certainly afford to replace it. Now that you’ve decided not to pay for your mother’s ransom, would you calm down? I’ve told you I’m handling this well, of course you’re handling it by comedian. A major felony of your own

trip’s gonna be, okay, Ava, I’m gonna bring him back. Safe. Promise me Steve Promise. I promise I’m gonna bring him home. Safe and sound

Dam. Eva, why aren’t you answering my calls? I’ve tried being patient, but obviously you had no plan B when Egypt didn’t pay up right way to get some mother back. I’ve had some uh, Complications on my end. So you need to wrap this up right now. I’ll not my wife, find out what I’ve done for you

pregnant. Are you sure? That is what the test indicates, but it’s not possible. Are you not sexually? We are, but we use birth control well, um, as you know, birth control isn’t a hundred percent effective.

I assumed this is a complication

you wanna be with.

When I asked you that a few hours ago, you adamantly denied it. I know. I know. Wife, and I’m so sorry. Why did you marry me? Because I loved you

tense.

I still have feelings for you. You’re a wonderful man, right? Oh, don’t just, don’t you stop. Stop humoring me. Okay? Just tell me the damn truth.

When you realized that you could have Eric back, you regretted getting involved with me, didn’t you?

I was just.

A substitute for your real love

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

I feel terrible. You don’t deserve this. You were so good to me. Oh, oh, stop. Just stop it, right? I don’t need you feeling sorry for me. You’re trying to absolve your feelings of guilt by telling me how good I was to you or whatever. I don’t give a damn about that anymore. Okay? I just, I just want the truth.

I understand. Okay. Okay, good.

You told me just a few hours ago you didn’t have any feelings for Eric. Yeah. I mean, you swore to it. In fact, as I recall, and I meant it at the time I did it, is just that things changed. Apparently everything changed. You honestly expect me to believe that you just had these feelings now since the last time I’ve seen you a couple hours ago.

No. Now these feelings, Eric, they’re not new. They didn’t just dawn on you. No, they didn’t. No. Okay, so we got married in June.

When you stood in front of me and you looked me in the eye, you promised to have hold and cherish me. Did you wanna be with Eric then?

No. No. Oh no. It was before we even sat our vow, wasn’t it? It was the moment that he came back into town.

No, be fun. When we, when Eric came back into town, I was, I was confused and I was infected in ways that I, I just didn’t expect. But, but when I looked in your eyes and I. My vows. I wanted to be with you. I wanted to be with you forever, so please, please don’t erase that. Why not? You just did.

He just told you, I don’t give a damn what you just told me. I wasn’t the one and you knew it. Hell,

please forget that I said that. I’m so. That is none of my business. I’m going to let you talk. Is there any chance that the test could be wrong? Uh, stupid question. I know these tests are very, very accurate. No, not, not a stupid question. Um, yes, they are very accurate, but I would be happy to run it for you again.

Just let me know. Okay? I am gonna let you two talk.

I dunno where to start, even know what to say.

Me neither. If only this. A happy surprise, but those seem to be in very rare supply these days, unlike unhappy ones.

Ah, Kayla, I thought you were working late. Obviously Steve is just comforting me. It’s okay, Ava. I am not. But I do wonder why you’re here. Tripp told us that you were moving to Seattle because of, uh, some problem you were having with ej. Yeah. Well, EJ doesn’t get to tell me what to do or where to go. End of story.

You call kidnapping Trip Johnson a felony. I call it a solid defensive maneuver. Tony, Eva put me in a corner when she took my mother. What else was I supposed. You pay the ransom , please don’t be in a standoff with this woman. She’s unpredictable and dangerous. Swallow your pride and just why the funds, Tony, me, you need to trust me on this.

I have no doubt whatsoever that my mother is safer because of what I’ve done. Not the opposite.

Bad day.

I didn’t see you there. That’s my surprise. I mean, given the way you barged in here and made a beeline for the bar, it’s obvious that you needed that drink. Just unwinding. What are you doing here? Chris was shopping. No, I’m working. Actually, today’s my first day at the Spectator. Hell of a start too.

You know, Paulina Price gets elected and her daughter gets arrested. Chanel was arrested for Madda. Yeah. You really don’t know the whole body town’s buzzing over it. Ah, I’ve been busy. I my first day of work too. Oh, so you were finally gainfully employed, are you? I am indeed. Well, don’t leave me in suspense.

Tell me everything.

Sounds like it’s a big problem with ej. Nope. Why are we even talking about that jerk? Just forget him. I said, I would help you, Ava, but I’m not gonna keep my wife in the dark. Keep me in the dark about. You know, and Steve’s gonna have to explain it. I’ve gotta take care of something.

I’m counting on you. I’ll keep you posted.

What’s going.

Trips been kidnapped.

I have a’s son, that’s checkmates. As soon as she will realize this and it will all be over. You seem awfully confident, don’t you. Now tell me how the negotiation’s been since you sent Ava a photo of trip being held at some point as she bombard with calls, a flurry of texts. No, I didn’t think so. She went ready, silent, didn’t she?

Give her time? A mother who’s desperate to save her son doesn’t need time. She replies immediately by saying she’ll do anything she can to get him back. She’s just trying to prove that she’s tough. Oh. Or she’s trying to give you a hint that she cares more about the money than she does the welfare of her son.

Hey, I know you think you have the winning move here, but it’s possible that what you’ve done, it’s brought you that much closer to losing your mother.

So the company’s called redneck, eh? Yes. A pharmaceutical startup. Right. Okay. That’s very exciting. Our job’s a job, right? And I needed the money buried under a mountain of debt from the Salem in as well. You know, isn’t your wife a doctor? Sarah’s still on probation and reduced salary on five bills to pay.

You know, it’s funny. In all the time we were together, I never remembered. You mentioning being interested in pharmaceuticals and, um, don’t companies like that hire people who are experienced in the field? Not necessarily. I mean, they, like you say, I had tons of potential and you know, I’m a hard worker and that’s an experienced con artist now what’s that supposed to mean?

It’s just that. While we’ve been sitting here, I’ve been discreetly scouring the internet for this so-called company and, um, can’t find a thing. Nothing. It’s almost as if it doesn’t exist. It’s brand new, a startup. So, I mean, there should be some sort of mention of it if it’s startup or not even a bare bones website.

But there isn’t. Just tell me. Why are you lying about your job?

Sorry. Fuck. I wanna be honest with you, but it’s, it’s complicated.

Well give it your best shot.

When I accepted your proposal, I wanted more than anything to be your wife. But,

but, but that was before I knew Eric left the priesthood,

so I was right.

I was right. You, uh, you regretted getting engaged. Pretty much from the moment I put that ring on your finger.

So our marriage was a farce from the beginning.

You got another unhappy surprise today. Is that what you’re saying? To me? Finding out that I’m pregnant is the last thing I expected.

This is the timing that’s really hitting me. The timing.

Can we please not pretend, I saw you about an hour ago, Eric, kissing your ex-wife.

You saw I went to Basic black looking for you, and there you were locked in what looked like a very passionate kiss with Nicole.

I guess shooting that magazine cover. Really stir up some old feelings for you.

Were you planning to tell me? Yes, yes. I was planning on telling you, and then Rave called to tell you I fainted, and now we know why.

Look, it’s been very obvious to me for a while now that Nicole has very strong feelings. But it wasn’t until today, until I saw the two of you kissing until I can see the look in your eye that you have right now that your feelings for her are just as strong. She just didn’t admit it. You want to be with Nicole despite.

Despite her marriage.

Call it what you want.

I will not call our marriage a farce. I loved you on our wedding day, and I still love you now. Just not enough.

You remember, do you remember we had a fight few weeks ago and I passed you? If you rushed into marrying me cause you were afraid of the feelings that you have for Eric because you said No,

it wasn’t. Was

and I were over for a long time and I, I felt neglected by him. And he felt guilty for not putting me first. We were never in sync. But you were in love, right? You were in love. That’s the point that I’m trying to make.

You were just tough. You just using me. You loved him. So I was convenient way for you to get over that. I was Your escape wasn’t I, wasn’t I to?

Okay.

I admit it. It’s made fun.

I’m so sorry.

Two minutes on a laptop and you’re convinced I’m lying. Deny it me once. And I know you, there’s a reason why you are knocking back all those drinks. You’ve had a stressful day. Hmm. Right. Here’s how I think your day is going. You need a job. Yeah. But, um, there isn’t really a job out there for a man with your very special, unique talents and the pressure is on because you have to provide for the new.

And, uh, you can’t let her carry the load on her own. Cuz that would be quite, um, humiliating, especially since all the other kayakers men are doing a fine cracking job at it. Yeah. So you put on that very nice suit and you tell the Mrs you are off to start your new job and then you pop out two wild away the hours at a coffee shop or a pub perhaps to make it look like you’re putting in eight.

Of work until you go home. Am I close? You think you’re so damn clever, Gwen, you can be further off base. I am working. Problem is the job that I took is just a wee bit illegal.

Travis been kidnapped. Ava came over here to tell me that, oh dear God, all we have to go on so far is that photo, which was taken a couple of hours ago, and what appears to be his apartment. So my guess is he’s not far from there. I’m so sorry. I mean, who would wanna do this? Who, who? I mean, what could they possibly want from trip?

I don’t know, but I know who’s behind it. E. You think EJ kidnapped? Your son looks that way. Oh, that son of a bitch. I’ll kill him myself. Favor, I’m concerned I haven’t heard back since I text you. My latest negotiating starts. Surely we can get these talks going again since we each have something the other wants.

It’s not in your best interest to ignore. Fine. I won’t. Oh, you are gonna wish you had just paid up a miserable son of a bitch.

Where’s my mother? Where’s my son? You lost your advantage when you kidnap. Now I’ve got as much on you as you’ve got on me hotly. Ooh, look at that. I make you nervous. You’re not used to that. Are you squaring off with someone when the odds aren’t stacked in your favor?

You have met your match and it scares the hell.

Play. Wait, Kayla, listen. Listen. When I heard about this, my first instinct was to confront ej, but that’s not the smart move. Not when trip’s. Safety is our priority. I don’t understand why EJ would do this. He threatened Ava to get her to leave Salem when she came back. I guess this is his way of making good on the threat.

What about Joey? Was he at the apartment when they came and took Trip? Joe’s fine. I talked to him. Apparently they covered their bases by getting trip to call Joe and tell him he went camping. But I think we should keep Joe thinking that, at least for now. I still don’t get it. Why would EJ involve trip in this if this problem is really with Ava?

I think there is something that she’s not telling you.

You wasn’t working for Ava and she had you turn, fuck. Well, at least I know where she went now, after I turned her down, she turned up when I was in hospital, she wanted me to get revenge on ej.

Didn’t expect to see you here or you. Sandra and I just bumped into each other. Yeah, after you were called into work, Victor and Maggie’s dinner fell apart and I didn’t feel like calling it at night yet. So popped in here for a drink and Zander has been filling me in on his new job. Fascinating. I’m sure there’s lots of things he hasn’t even told you about.

I never intended on keeping the truth from you.

The truth is, is I’ve been in denial about my feelings for Nicole for a while. A while is in the entire time we’ve been together. Jada, I honestly believe that Nicole and I were done. No matter what I was feeling, she was married to somebody else and I kept telling myself that I needed to accept it and move on with my life.

And that’s when you got involved with me, I think. I think you’re an incredible woman. I’m not incredible enough to make you forget.

I honestly thought I could go into a new relationship and genuinely give the best of who I am myself, no matter what I felt for Nicole, but I couldn’t. I’m sorry.

Get out.

I said.

That had to hurt because it really hurts saying it, oh enough. Walk away. Just go, no, I’m not gonna walk away. Until you understand that I loved you enough to marry you. I swear, Rafe, I thought if I committed to you and I went all in to be the best wife that I could be for you, that it would end my feelings for Eric once and for all and be the beginning of a lifetime of loving you well.

Wow. Nice try.

Blame you for eating me or you wanna cut me out of your life forever. But I want you to know, and when I said my vows to you, I meant every word and I wanted them to be the last vows that I’d ever said, oh, come on. That’s, if, that’s just when, if wedding vows ever meant anything to you.

That is not fair. Ra. Oh, sure it is. Marriage is just a game to you. No, that is not true. Well, I think that Victor and Lucas would disagree. EJ would disagree twice. Oh, please, RA, don’t do this. What am I doing? Huh? I’m just telling it like it is. I mean, you are who you are. Nicole. I mean, you, you, you even cheated on Eric.

The love of your life was Xander of all people. Why don’t you stop? No, I’m not gonna stop now, baby, cuz I’m on a roll. And while we’re here, why don’t you, why don’t you actually tell me how long you’ve been cheating on me with Eric? I haven’t been cheating.

Yes, Eric and I kissed today, but. It, it just happened. It wasn’t planned. You and I had a fight and Eric and I, we were, we, we were just in the moment. It’s all right. Well, you did what you’ve wanted to do for months now what happened next? Huh? Guessing that led to the conference table? No. No. We stopped right away and we talked.

Did you, what You guys talk about what you wanted each other? Even though, uh, Eric’s got a girlfriend and you have a husband, we acknowledged our feelings for each other and then what we’ve been suppressing for all these months now, God, that’s cuz uh, what’d you guys do next? Did you come up with a plan?

Plan, how you were. Break up with me and Jada as quick as possible so you can get back to your, your feelings.

Well, you got what you wanted, Nicole, and clearly in the end, that’s all that matters to you.

Honestly, I was quite surprised. To hear about the work that Zander’s doing? Quite shocked, actually. Shocked. Oh, why? Well, you know, pharmaceuticals not really something I thought that Zander was ever interested in. And, um, I didn’t even know that he was qualified to work in that, um, particular field, but, All know how very smart Zander is and what a good work ethic he has.

So, um, I think that they are very lucky to have him. Don’t you think? Yeah. I’m very proud of him

hospital and they might need me to come back

for a second there. I thought that you were, tell her. Why didn’t you

honor amongst thieves, I suppose,

and look, despite everything that’s happened, I still care about you thunder, as much as I would just love to boss you and Sarah up. Um, I don’t have it in me to hurt you like that.

Well, thanks. I guess,

so you are free to go about with Ava’s bidding, but as somebody who’s been there and dodged that bullet, All I can say is, well, best of British luck to you.

I’m sure Ava’s holding something back, but she didn’t admit it. Well, we can deal with that later. Right now, trip comes first. I’m gonna get on the first flight to Seattle. Well, you better make sure that there’s two seats because I’m coming with you. Oh, no you’re not. Oh, yes I am. You are not going up against EJ alone.

Wake up, Ava, your lost chance. Give me back my mother. Cause you don’t wanna find out what happens if you say no. All right. Well, you give me back my son first. And then we’ll discuss what it’s gonna cost you to get Susan back. I’m not gonna be strong armed by a piece of trash. Oh. Oh, I see. So you can threaten me, bully me.

Leave me homeless. John, you committed fraud. You used my son. And if not for my extraordinary compassion, you be in prison right now. You conniving Ingrid. Oh, watch it. Ej. You piss me. I’m gonna have to call my associate and tell him to put a bullet in your mother’s head.

Stop. Pastor, you’re lucky. You are lucky. You’re lucky that my father is here. Otherwise, you would’ve wound up in the Crip next to your fake husband.

Sweetness. EJ being behind. This isn’t a reason to come with me. It’s why you should stay home and let you fly solo while I sit here and stare at my phone. Not a chance. No. I’m gonna call John. I’m not gonna do it alone. I’m gonna get Black patch. On the case? No, you cannot put him on the spot like that.

Marlena just got out of the hospital and he needs to be with her. You know, you tell him about Tripp and he is not gonna be able to turn you down. Listen, I don’t even know what I’m walking into. I’m not gonna put you at risk. Have you already forgotten who came to the rescue in Hong Kong when somebody I know.

Was brainwashed, baby. You just got out of the hospital yourself. And I am perfectly fine now and I am not gonna stay behind while my stepson is in grave danger. I love that boy with all my heart. And if you are walking into danger to save his life, I am going to be there to have your back. Yes. There’s no arguing with you.

No, there is not. And let’s come back.

Go find Nicole. I’ll be fine. We haven’t even talked about, I don’t know what I’m going to do about this pregnancy, but don’t worry about it, Eric. It’s not your problem. Not my problem. Jada. I, I care about you in this pregnancy. We need to figure this. What’s there to figure out? You told me who you want to be with.

There’s nothing else to say. Listen, if you’re trying to give me an easy way out, I don’t want it. We need to make decisions together about this baby. All right? And I want to be here for you. I’m not just gonna walk away.

Five, but we’re not gonna come up with any answers tonight.

I’m exhausted. I need to close my eyes and regroup. So please listen to me when I tell you I need you to go.

You, Schumer. I’m.

I should give this back.

I shouldn’t have accepted your ring or your love.

I didn’t deserve it, and I, I didn’t deserve you.

You deserve someone who’s worthy of you, and it’s, it’s not me.

I did everything wrong in this marriage. And you did everything right?

Yeah, except that it wasn’t Eric.

Oh, Erica. Hey. Hey. Are you okay?

I was just with re Oh God. I told him everything. It was awful. I’m sorry. It’s done. So, um, how’s Jada?

Shit? Jada’s pregnant.

Okay. We make this flight. We’ll be in Seattle in five hours. Ah, what about Stephanie? She’s gonna wonder why we dis. Uh, with all that mess with Paul, and this is the last thing she needs to worry about right now. Well, I’ll call her and tell her that we’ve got outta town for a couple days. Okay? We’ll tell Joe and Stephanie everything after we rescue trip.

Come on,

leave, go assess your options. Soon you realize you’re loud. Now get out. Okay. But I’d start getting my money together if I were you. I am running out of patience. But worse comes to worse. I can always send you a lock of Susan’s sayer. Say you have something to remember. Bye. Do you want no idea who you’re with?

No.

This has gotta announce. Spare me the lecture. What lecture? I’m trying to help you face reality. Dammit. Don’t you understand that she’s unbalanced. Pay her off before something happens that you can’t control.

Do they need you to come back in? Nope. I’m good. Wonderful. I’ll, I’ll get you a drinking. No, no. I was, um, I was thinking that we could go to Julie’s place for a late night dinner and you can tell me all about your first day and maybe we can discuss a new living situation. . Let’s get Cody

cool at Call me if you’d like to talk, talk about. Um, yeah, well I’m working at the Spectator now and, um, I said to Zander that I would write a piece about the company he’s working for cuz startups need all the publicity they can get. Right. Consider it, consider it my way of making amends. They, thanks, thanks.

But, uh, that won’t be necessary.

Days of Our Lives Transcript

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Bonnie went to the shed. Yeah. No, I mean that’s right. We were talking about centerpieces and she said the garden shed. I back. That’s right. What the hell is she doing down there?

Who are you and what are you doing here? I know who you are. You’re, you’re Susan Banks. Oh my God, honey. Who?

A brother with a gun to his head.

Oh, sweetness. Come on. Haven’t we established that I can fend for myself when you’re working late? Yeah, well, I stopped by the pub, had a bullet chatter with your brother and uh, then he insisted on telling me all about his new fly fishing rod. No, I’m not getting any ideas. Okay, listen, I’m just gonna have one beer and head home, so don’t work too hard.

Yeah, I love you.

Hey buddy, haven’t seen you in a long time. Hey, do you mind if I join you? Well, I don’t think I’d be great company. Oh, what’s going on? Nothing good.

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

God, honey, did this to you.

Oh. Oh my goodness. How Kiki did you come back from the dead to save Me? Oh, no, honey. Oh wow. Lord Sent Heavenly me. You. Oh, hardly. I’m Bonnie Kikis. Oh, you Justin Sch new wife. Yeah, that’s, oh my God. Definitely has a specific time. Doesn’t name show. If the Lord didn’t send you, then who did? Coincidence came down for a couple of planters.

Well, I mean, there is no coincidence. It’s the Lord and he’s working in mysterious ways. Okay, speaking of mysterious ways, honey. Who did this to you?

Come on. Trip. Trip. Pick up. Damn it. It went straight to voicemail. I guess EJ wasn’t kidding with that photo. Yeah. Well, he’s gonna find out that he messed with the wrong Vitali. Do you really think EJ is gonna pick up? You know what? It doesn’t matter.

Ej, listen, you son of a bitch, you lay one finger on my son and I will kill you. Well, it’s nice to see that you care about the health and welfare of one of your sons. Really, really? Whining right now. I mean, EJ Damara could kill trip and it’s still, mommy loved him best. Huh? What is something funny? No, I just, I think EJ definitely bested you and you can’t say that you didn’t have it coming,

buddy. Listen, are you sure you’re not just jumping the gun here? I mean, so Eric took pictures of Nicole. That’s work. That doesn’t necessarily mean there’s anything going on, but there is. There is. Look, it’s not just the photo shoots. Okay. Yeah. Ever since Eric came back into town, there’s been this, so Paul, between he and Nicole, are you sure you’re not just being possessive?

I know dudes can do that sometimes, so I’ve. Look, I keep finding them in each other’s arms and there’s always an excuse, but after a while, you know, well, I understand why it’s not exactly ideal for your wife to be working with her ex, but that doesn’t necessarily mean those, uh, explanations aren’t true. I mean, they’re still friends, right?

Good friends, Steve, I believe. But they were always and will continue to be more than friends. Okay. They were divorced, it was messy. Eric took off, he came back, and then Nicole hired him so they can work together, be together, cuz um, they never stopped loving each.

What are we doing? What we’ve been wanting to do for months?

Looks like your precious trip isn’t getting out of this anytime soon.

EJ doesn’t waste any time, does he? I have to call Zander. You don’t wanna do that. Trust me. Would anyone, uh, like a drink Bob? Waiting for Bonnie? I can murder a beer.

What now? Ah, sorry. I got a text. Dam it. This is something emergency at the office and gonna have to call in. I’m so sorry. An emergency. It’s this hour of the. At a pharmaceutical startup, who knows what it could be, but it’s a good sign, right? That they need him

clown. Yeah. I mean, you don’t see that very often, do you? Do you mean like a clown? Like some kind of joker? No, I don’t mean a clown. Like some kind of a joker. I mean a clown with a red nose and a shelter bottle only. He didn’t have a shelter bottle because he needed to tie me up cuz you wanna need his hands free.

Um, But honey, it wasn’t a real clown. Yeah, he just said he was, he’s a man dressed up as a clown. He was in disguise so that I wouldn’t be able to tell who the kidnapper was. Okay. Why would someone wanna kidnap you? You know what? I just don’t know. I don’t, but you know what? The man, the clown, the man dressed up as a clown.

Well, he has a Bosh co name, the Ring mesh. You heard the cold? No, no, I made it up. I’m very creative and being tied up because really boring. So could you just tell me where we are in Keri’s Garden? She, why are you here at the garden? Chicago Nu. I came down to get a couple of lanterns from Maggie and Victor’s 11th anniversary.

Oh, that my, I gotta tell you, wherever this club was, he sure as hell know how to tie a mouth. Thanks for the compliment.

So this pull between them, have you spoken to Nicole about it? Yeah, the knife. And what’d she say? She denied it. But you don’t believe her like that, Steve, that’s not the point. She doesn’t want to admit it to herself, let alone to me she, she doesn’t want to feel this way. She just, Dude, I know it’s hard, but maybe you just need to trust her.

That’s good advice. Yeah, exactly what I said to Jada. All right, Jada. So does she think, um, Eric and Nicole are.

Well, she, uh, certainly gives every indication that she believes that. Yeah. Because every time she sees Eric and Nicole together, she finds a way to tell me all about it. So you think Jada is serious about Eric? I dunno, I don’t know that. Well, I think she thinks that it’s serious. Um, uh, she always talks about, uh, Eric being God’s gift to the world.

Pretty sure he feels that way. Wow. Well, Jada has a tough exterior, but she is still pretty young. She’s new to town. She’s got no. It’s got a new job, man. I hope this whole thing doesn’t end in end in tears. Yeah. All the way around. We, we haven’t been fighting this for months. We , we just lost our heads for a all.

I didn’t. I kissed you just now because I wanted to. That’s something I’ve been wanting to do for a while now. I mean, every time I’ve seen you actually, and every time I fight it, it just gets stronger.

Eric, I want you, and from the way you kiss me, just.

I think you want me too, Nicole. We were once married. We’re always going to be attracted to one another. This is more than just an attraction. The way I feel about you now is the same way I felt when we got married and years before that. Can you honestly say we just lost our heads and there’s not a hell of a lot more to it.

You got married and you, you just got home from the courthouse and I was at your, your doorway. Do you remember? I remember

I was there because I wanted to tell you how I felt about.

Just after even Pauling his wedding, it just seemed like we should just talk. But that’s when I found out you and Rafa just got married, so my feelings didn’t really matter anymore. Wait, no, that, that’s, that’s not true. It’s fine. It’s just with briefing. I’m.

Fuck you and, and Jada. I mean, it’s a thing, but it it’s not what we have. She knows it. Believe me. She knows it. What are you saying to me? That’s your break with Jada and you break up with Raven. We just let the chips fall. They may. I mean, Jada and I, we haven’t, we haven’t made any promises or anything like that.

I mean, we’re getting to know each other really. But Nicole, you’re married. It matters That really matters.

Okay? Now, I’m not saying you’re right or you’re. But if you’re this jacked up about it, I think you need to tell Nicole how you’re feeling. I did. No, no. What I just heard you say was that you asked her how she’s feeling. What you need to do is tell her what you just told me. Okay. Not the advice I was expecting from you.

Well, I know Kayla and I have had more than our share of ups and downs over the years. And one thing I know is that you can’t solve a problem by ignoring it. Right? Yeah. Well, point taken. Point taken. Hmm. So can we change the subject? How about those cups? Yeah. Hey, Jed. Oh, fancy seeing you here. What? Well, I, I meant, uh, because you live here.

Oh, yeah. Great. Are you okay? Uh, actually, I, uh, I got some work things to go over with Rafe. Okay, well, I’ll leave you too. Hang in there buddy. All right. Okay. You.

So what’s going on?

Give that to me. Are you really gonna let EJ get away with this? You’re just gonna give up 20 million. I don’t care about the money. I only care about trip. Yeah, we know that. The important thing is EJ knows that, can’t you see? He’s bluffing. He’s not gonna hurt trip. This might be photoshopped for all we.

But if you give Susan up, you give up any leverage that you have. Okay? And then what am I supposed to do then? Nothing. Nothing. What if you are wrong? What if you are wrong? And EJ does hurt trip, mom. You are reacting like EJ wants you to react. He wants you emotional, not rational. This is my son we are talking about.

Yes. And because he’s your son, you’re e quivering mess. You kidnapped E J’s mother. Did he fall apart? No, he regrouped and he went straight for your Achilles heel. Because EJ is ruthless. That is what you need to be right now. We both know that you’re up to that particular task.

It’s up to you. Are you going to beat EJ at his own game or cave like a house of card?

You get away from her? I tell. I will say back. Sit that down. Stay back. Listen lady. You do not want me to lose my tender. If you don’t wanna be stirred like a male, hey, get outta here. Not gonna happen. How?

Xander has a very important new job. Sarah. Tell Mathusla, hear all about it. He’s an executive at redneck. Why would rednecks need an executive? No. Red Max. It’s a pharmaceutical startup and he’s in upper management in charge of the entire sales department. I, if it’s so major, why haven’t I heard of it?

So you kidnapping me now too. I bet your boss didn’t count on a two for one deal, did he or she? This isn’t gonna work, you know? Do me a favor.

Who did you decide to call someone who can make this all go away?

Steve Johnson. Steve Hit’s. I need to see you. It’s an emergency

Now you’re playing the game.

Something’s going on at the station. Uh, not exactly. Okay. But something’s bothering you. I just saw Nicole and Eric at Peace Black. Oh yeah. I know. I was there when he showed. You were there. Mm-hmm. . I went to talk to Nicole about the pictures you told me about, and um, turned into another big fight. I’m sorry.

Yeah. Turns out I was all ticked off about Nicole modeling four, Eric, but it only got better from there because I found out that Nicole was gonna be in pictures with Eric on the cover of Bella. You were kidding. No. No wonder you got in a big fight. Yeah. Um, I’m tired, so. Okay. Yeah. Well, obviously you feel the same way about this whole thing as Ivy Jada.

Hey, Jada. Jada. Hey Jada. Jay,

Bri and I have been fighting. So much lately, and I hate it. I hate it because I know the kind of man he is. He’s, he’s not jealous, he’s not possessive. He just wants to know the truth, and there’s part of him that knows that I’m keeping something from him. Oh, God.

And the last thing I wanna do is hurt him. And I love him. I do. And this, this should be a good marriage, but it’s not. It’s not because I, oh God. And he was so right about this. He was so right. I married him. I married him. Sorry, I could forget about. It is such a horrible thing to do to him, and I did it to a man and he deserves so much better.

No wonder if you wanted to forget about me. Look at the way I treated you when we were married. What kind of man would marry a woman like you and then run for the hills?

I live with so much regret. I’m sorry

we really screwed things up, didn’t we? All the pain

and after all that, I, I may still love you.

I always will. I think.

Eric, I just, I had to say this to you, but if you don’t wanna be with me,

it’ll hurt. Oh God. Will it hurt?

I’ll accept it.

But no matter what I, I need to end things with RA because it’s not fair to treat him like a consolation fries, because every time I look at him, all I can think about is being with you.

No, I house is away. I,

I know no one can hear me. It’s okay. It’s okay. Maggie knew I was coming down here. Sooner or later, someone’s gonna find us. Rednecks sounds made up to me. You’ve really never heard of it. How could he? It’s a startup. You know, 90% of all startups fail. Stop that right now. Not to worry. Most of those failures didn’t have Senator Cook in the key management.

You, uncle Victor, is your faith in me that keeps me going.

Happy anniversary, Maggie. Oh, thank you. Many, many, many. I’m gonna think that one over. So what was the emergency? All taken care of. Hmm. Oh, now, now it’s my turn. The hospital , yes, but the ER is really understaffed, so here a happy anniversary. Mom. Victor, I’m sorry. That’s okay. Don’t wait up. Well, I guess it’s just gonna be the four of us for dinner.

Maybe we should just call the whole thing off. No, no. You and Victor are gonna have dinner together and start to work out two differences. Let the healing begin and Bonnie and I will, what is keeping her? She should have been back by now. She’s been abducted by aliens. Well, I’m gonna go and look for her.

Thanks for seeing me. What’s going on? Trip told me EJ forced you to leave town. Yeah, well, I came back. I don’t like being pushed around. I never knew that about you. Okay. But EJ somehow found out that I broke the deal. So what’d he do? Threatened to send you to prison? Oh. It is much worse than that.

Son.

Should I go?

If I stay, you know what that means?

I think we both know what it means

and

it’s like you and I gotta do the right thing. I can’t stay with Jada, especially when my heart belongs to someone else.

As, as angry as I was with you. I never stop loving you. Thank you,

Eric. This time we, you, no, we are not. You gotta screw it up, I promise. Yeah, let’s not.

It’s ra what?

Hey ra. What’s going on Eric? Listen. I’m at the hospital. You gotta get down here. It’s Jada.

Well, thanks Joe. Yeah. No, no, everything’s fine. I just want to check in with you. Love you too. All right.

Trip told Joe he was going camping. Yeah, right with a gun at his head.

All right. It looks like this picture was taken in his apartment in Seattle. I don’t think EJ would take it much further than that. Wait a minute, this doesn’t make sense. So EJ is mad at you for coming back to town. He kidnapped trip. That’s overkill and it’s way too risky. Hey, what’d you do, Ava? Nothing. I don’t believe you, but I don’t have time to drag it out of you.

Where are you going? Where do you think I’m gonna get EJ to release trip and then I’m gonna shove his teeth down his throat. Okay. No, Steve, you can’t do that, do you? You cannot go talk to him. You just can’t. Why the hell not Ava

have my phone? Wait. Damn it. Oh. God put some water in my pocket when that jerk grabbed me. Did you see my phone anywhere? Hey, come on. Where do I get food? Maybe Xander’s right? Maybe Bonnie did fall. I’m gonna go look for her. The hell you are. It’s dark out there. Xander. Why don’t you, uh, offer to go? I was just going to, I.

Oh, Maggie did, did I just hear your phone? I think maybe you got a text. What? Oh, oh, it’s from Bonnie. Something came up, uh, with Mimi. She’s on her way to Chicago. Happy anniversary. Oh, well. At least we know she’s all right. Ugh. Can’t breathe again. Los Xander looks like it’s just gonna be the three of us. Oh, absolutely not.

It’s your anniversary. You don’t need a third wheel. You wouldn’t be Sandra, please stay. Have a nice romantic dinner, Sarah, and I’ll be in touch soon. We’ll set something up. Sandra, wait. Um, fix her. Don’t you wanna congratulate Sander on his new job, or do you wanna spend the night in the garden shift?

Sander, congratulations on your new job. Don’t be so enthused. It was fine. Maggie. Heartwarming. Thank you Uncle Victor. Have a lovely dinner. I’ll walk you out. Huh?

At least you broke the ice. You did. Thanks for trying. Oh, he’ll come around and even if the evening it didn’t turn out as planned, things are starting to look up for you and Sarah.

Appreciate her. What happened? What’s wrong? Sarah’s examining her now. Uh, we were at the pub talking and she’s fainted. What room is she? Sarah? Hi. She, uh, well, she’s much better. She’s alert and talking. Okay. Why, why does she faint? I’m thinking it’s low blood sugar. She said she hadn’t eaten much today. Um, but we drew some blood, so we should have some.

Can I see her? Yeah. Yeah.

I told Cook there would only be two of us for dinner. You know, after all these years. I still get tickled when I say cook. There’ll just be two for dinner.

Oh, I think he was a little disappointed. I’m not. Hmm. I can tell. Well, so sue me if I went you old to myself on our anniversary, Barry, you was the best thing that ever happened to me. Then I think this would be a very good time for you to echo the sentiment. It would only go to your head, which is already swollen enough, , even if it is the truth.

You know what we are, Maggie? Mm-hmm. Lucky. Mm. Damn lucky. Yeah.

You just thought I’d check on you too,

just as well, even though no one can hear you. Like I told you, people know I’m here.

You sent Maggie a text. You’ve been called away. Family emergency. So thinking up and made me, I’m on my way to Chicago. Happy anniversary. What? Are you gonna keep us in here forever? Look. As soon as our son pays up, you’ll both be out of here. Hopefully there’ll be any moment. Now you’re not going to get away with this.

It’s so stupid of you to deal with the deras. You know what? And the Cga family is now gonna come after you. Your life. Stupid is gonna suck in more ways than you can imagine. How do you know about Mimi? You know me. You know me.

Why don’t you want me to talk to e j? Because he’s furious with me. You know how vindictive he is, and if he finds out that I told you, who knows what he is gonna do to Chad, what is it? You’re not telling me nothing. You’re a. Steve, what the hell? Does it matter why or how this happened? Please just go find trip.

Please. Look, our son, he is a good guy. He’s just like his father and he doesn’t deserve this, Steve. He doesn’t deserve it. Of course, I’m gonna find our son and I’m gonna bring him back. Thank you. Thank you.

I was still with Eric in the office when you called. Uh, I just wanted to see if Jada was doing all right. Yeah, well, uh, Sarah said it was just low blood sugar. Oh. Eric’s in there with her.

Can I get you anything? I mean, do you want some water? I’m fine.

It’s a good thing that re was there when he fainted. Yeah, he was there. There. Jada, is there something wrong?

What’s, uh, what’s going on? Well, I wanted some privacy. Yeah. Um, to say I was sorry about.

I was making a big deal outta nothing. Mean the cover shoot. Like it’s just work, right?

No, Rafe, um, you are right.

It’s, it’s more than that. I, uh,

Just say it.

I, uh,

I wanna be with Eric.

Okay. So, Before I went to go see Rafe, I went somewhere else.

Hi. Oh, that was fast. Um, the lab hasn’t finished your full blood work panel yet, but I did get some preliminary results and I think I know why you painted. Really? Um, what is it? Eric, um, I think I should speak to Jada in private. Oh, um, sorry. No, it’s, it’s okay. I, I want him here.

Are you sure? Okay.

Oh my.

I’m pregnant.
