Days of Our Lives Update

Update written by Joseph

Alex works at the Titan office when he gets a text from Sloan, asking if he’s up for more tricks & treats with a photo of her handcuffs. Alex starts to respond but Stephanie walks in.

Paulina leaves another message for Stephanie that as soon as she gets the file from Sloan, she wants it delivered to her immediately. Paulina thanks Stephanie for all she has done and says that she and Chanel are forever in her debt. Sloan then arrives at Paulina’s office and hopes it isn’t a bad time. Paulina responds that it always is and their business is concluded. Sloan questions who gave her that idea.

Tripp goes to the hospital and finds Steve dressed as a pirate for Halloween. Tripp realizes he missed the kids’ Halloween party. Tripp mentions being on the hospital staff but says it’s an old habit. Steve tells Tripp that he ran in to a kid earlier who was asking about Tripp. Steve suggests Tripp stick around town a little longer. Steve admits he hopes Tripp stays in Salem because he loves having him here. Tripp responds that he loves being here but his life is in Seattle now, so he got a return ticket tonight and he just came to say goodbye.

EJ is at home on the phone with Belle. EJ thanks her and says he’s thrilled to be back running DiMera Enterprises. EJ comments that he doesn’t plan to go public with Ava Vitali’s crimes as long as she abides by their agreement. EJ remarks that he’s sure he’s not the only one celebrating Ava being banished from Salem, never to be seen or heard from ever again. Behind him, Ava then appears outside the back door and looks in through window of the DiMera Mansion.

Sloan warns Paulina that her client is growing very impatient with her games. Paulina argues that she doesn’t play games. Sloan threatens that if Paulina doesn’t pay up, the whole world will know her and Chanel’s dirty little secrets. Paulina questions what she is talking about since Stephanie assured her that everything was resolved. Sloan responds that Stephanie spun a bunch of lies to both of them.

Alex tells Stephanie about closing a deal so he will need her to put together a press release. Stephanie says she will get right on that, but first she hoped she could ask him to do something for her.

Steve questions Tripp already booking his return flight. Tripp says now that Kayla is doing well, it’s time to get back. Steve says it makes sense but notes that Ava won’t be happy if he leaves town without seeing her. Tripp guesses he hasn’t heard. Steve admits he’s been at the hospital 24/7 until now so he asks what he didn’t hear. Tripp reveals to Steve that EJ ran Ava out of town and he has no idea where she is.

EJ tells Belle that he knows Gabi and Ava are out for his blood, but if they come for him, they will live to regret it or maybe they won’t live at all which he calls a little Halloween humor. Ava remains outside the mansion and puts on a clown mask costume with a knife in hand. EJ then turns around and is shocked by what he sees.

Tripp tells Steve that he knows Ava made some bad choices but she was going to marry Jake so that wasn’t a lie. Steve questions if that excuses her from faking a marriage and helping herself to Jake’s DiMera shares. Tripp admits it doesn’t but feels the punishment doesn’t fit the crime since she was grieving while EJ took away her job and home. Steve points out that EJ could have had Ava arrested and sent to prison so he’d say he treated her pretty well considering the circumstances. Tripp argues that EJ had his own ulterior motives but he’d rather not get in to it. Steve questions Tripp having no idea where Ava is which he confirms. Tripp says all he got was a text from her saying she’s fine and would see him soon. Steve says it doesn’t make sense because it’s not like Ava to just give in and leave.

EJ goes to investigate outside when Chad enters the DiMera Mansion in the same clown costume, scaring EJ, who complains that there is someone lurking outside in the same costume. Chad points out that he doesn’t see anybody while EJ insists they were just there.

Sloan tells Paulina that Stephanie crashed and burned and didn’t have the nerve to tell her that she sent Chad to pay her off with counterfeit money. Sloan says she only found out by chance, otherwise she’d be out her retainer and her client could have been arrested for passing fake bills. Paulina doesn’t believe a word of her story. Sloan says she has no reason to lie and questions if Stephanie has called her today. Paulina admits she hasn’t. Sloan wonders why she could be avoiding her. Sloan points out that Paulina is five points ahead in the polls and the election is next week so it would be a terrible time for her daughter’s exploits to be splattered on every news paper in the state.

Alex questions Stephanie asking him for another favor. Stephanie knows she already owes him big time for covering her with Sloan last night. Alex tells Stephanie that he won’t tell Sloan that she broke in to her apartment, but she can’t do it again. Stephanie agrees that she can’t try her luck but she told Paulina that she would present her with Sloan’s incriminating files today and she doesn’t know how she will do that without Alex’s help.

Joey visits with Kayla in the hospital. Kayla mentions that Stephanie told her it’s far more interesting in Salem than Seattle. Kayla talks about there never being a dull moment in Salem and his family is here. Kayla then informs Joey that she was wondering about Wendy Shin because she heard he and Tripp talking about her while they thought she was sleeping and it sounded like they are both kind of in to her. Joey complains about her eavesdropping. Kayla points out that they were in her room and talking very loudly. Joey admits they were and jokes that he’ll let it go this time. Joey tells Kayla that he and Tripp might be kind of in to Wendy but unless she wants Salem to be even more interesting, she definitely wouldn’t want them in an intense competition for the same woman so that won’t work to keep him or Tripp in Salem. Joey tells Kayla that he loves her and assures they will be video chatting all the time and they will visit. Kayla wants Joey to be happy wherever he is. Joey thanks her and asks if she’s still on track to get out tomorrow. Kayla promises she will sign her out herself if she has to. Joey asks if she’s sure it’s not worth to stay a couple more days to make sure she’s okay. Joey comments on all the cards Kayla has been sent. Kayla says she’s been so exhausted that she hasn’t had time to look at them all yet so Joey offers to help her with that. Kayla then opens a card that came with a box of candy, assuming it’s from Julie, but it turns out to be from Orpheus.

Chad thinks EJ probably just saw a trick or treater. EJ argues that they would come to the front door. Chad suggests they got lost or were playing a prank. EJ repeats that they were wearing the exact same costume as Chad. Chad says a hundred other people are too and mentions that it was on sale when he took Thomas and Charlotte to the town square. Chad insists that EJ probably just saw a kid. EJ supposes he’s right. Chad asks why he wanted to see him as he has to get home to the kids. EJ declares that he would like Chad to come back to work at DiMera.

Stephanie informs Alex that she still thinks the file is in the locked cabinet in Sloan’s apartment. Alex calls that total speculation. Stephanie points out that it wouldn’t be if she had a chance to pick the lock. Alex reminds her that they just agreed she can’t do that again. Stephanie agrees but suggests maybe someone who is a welcome visitor to Sloan’s bedroom could somehow find the opportunity. Alex questions if she’s asking him to pick a lock and legit commit a crime. Stephanie remarks that he probably doesn’t have the skills. Alex says that’s not the point. Stephanie suggests he could look around and find the key. Alex thinks he knows where the key is but he also thinks stealing from Sloan is crossing a major line. Stephanie tells him to think about the lines Sloan has crossed and that she never should’ve had these materials in the first place. Stephanie admits she thought helping Paulina get elected would be simple but she’s never dealt with blackmail before and thought she could just do her usual spin out of it. Alex talks about how she always thinks she can get out of things until she can’t and now she’s asking him to fix things for her. Stephanie argues that this isn’t just about her but about Paulina and her family. Stephanie adds that it’s about so much more than that, the future of their community and state. Alex says she’s laying it on thick. Stephanie states that Paulina’s campaign is more than just a job to her as she believe she will do great things for the state. Stephanie declares that she would work for Paulina for free. Alex uses that to joke about the ridiculous rate she is charging Titan. Stephanie asks if he will help her or not. Alex wants to be clear on what exactly she is asking from him. Alex questions if she’s asking him to go have sex with Sloan. Stephanie argues that he can go look for a key without having sex with her. Alex says there are no real feelings between he and Sloan but he doesn’t feel comfortable going to her apartment with a secret agenda of stealing from her. Stephanie decides she shouldn’t have asked him to do this as it’s her problem and she should handle it herself. Stephanie then exits to go deal with the press release.

Paulina complains of Sloan blackmailing her. Sloan calls it business. Paulina threatens to report her to the state BAR for unethical practices when she becomes Governor. Sloan warns that she will never be Governor if she doesn’t make this deal. Sloan adds that her stalling isn’t winning points with her client. Sloan then declares that the price just went up dramatically. Paulina decides she wants to deal with the client directly but Sloan says she gets paid to protect the client’s anonymity so she will deal with her and only her. Sloan hands Paulina the new price and the number for the offshore account. Sloan then declares that if the money isn’t in there by the morning, Paulina’s political career is over and so is her daughter’s life as she knows it. Sloan then exits the office.

Tripp agrees with Steve that it’s not like Ava to let go of anything without a fight, but he thinks that falling in love with Jake and then losing him so suddenly took all the fight out of her. Steve hopes that’s true for his sake because he knows he’s devoted to his mom and doesn’t want him to worry all the time. Steve mentions Joey being in with Kayla, so he invited Tripp to come join them to say goodbye. Tripp says he’ll be there in a minute as he’s going to text Ava that he’s heading out tonight since he’s still hoping to see her before he leaves. Steve says he hopes so too and heads to Kayla’s room. Ava then arrives in her clown costume and reveals herself to Tripp.

Joey complains about Orpheus sending Kayla a get well card and asks what it says. Steve then enters the room and asks what’s wrong. Joey informs him that Orpheus sent her a gift. Steve reads the card which says “Congratulations, you lived to tell the tale. I don’t know how you managed to get your hands on the serum but I’m man enough to admit I’ve been bested.” Orpheus goes on to acknowledge that he’s heading back to prison after screwing up his pardon but that the ladies will never be far from his thoughts.

Tripp brings Ava to a waiting room at the hospital and questions what she is doing here. Ava says she knew he was leaving town so she figured he’d be here with his family. Tripp tells her that he’s been worried about her and hates what EJ did to her. Tripp adds that he really got in to it with EJ and punched him in the face. Tripp asks what Ava’s plan is, where she is staying and if she has any money. Ava says she’s making due. Tripp asks if she needs anything and argues that she shouldn’t have to sneak around. Ava says she won’t have to sneak around much longer and says Tripp is the last person left that she cares about other than her grandson who barely knows her. Tripp then invites Ava to come back to Seattle with him.

Chad asks EJ what exactly he would be doing at DiMera. EJ says it’s whatever he wants and that Chad can name his terms since he knows the company inside and out, so he needs him on his team. EJ adds that his stock shares will be returned to him. Chad calls that unexpected. EJ explains that having the company back in the family’s hands means everything to him but having everyone getting along and working together means even more. Chad tells EJ that it means a lot and he’s very grateful that they were able to make amends. Chad says he’s flattered but he has to say no to the offer.

Alex goes to Sloan’s apartment dressed as a cop. Sloan jokes about playing dress up. Sloan tells him that she could really use a de-stress because she had a hell of a day. Alex asks what happened. Sloan responds that she can’t disclose details about her cases but brings up Alex hiring Stephanie at Titan and suggests that he get rid of her. Alex asks why but Sloan repeats that she can’t go in to detail. Sloan calls Stephanie an incompetent lying bitch. Alex says he’s sorry to hear that but he didn’t come to talk about business, but to handle it. Alex decides this time he will handcuff Sloan.

Stephanie goes to Paulina’s office and tells her that she got her messages. Paulina asks if she has the materials from Sloan. Stephanie says she doesn’t have them right this minute but she’s working on it as she speaks. Paulina complains that she’s furious because Sloan was just here a few minutes ago. Stephanie guesses she is fired.

Tripp swears that cost of living in Seattle won’t be a problem for Ava as she can stay with he and Joey in Stephanie’s old room. Ava points out that Joey wouldn’t be too happy about that. Tripp asks what the alternative is and if she’s going to go back to her old life in Philadelphia. Ava responds that she couldn’t even if she wanted to because cousin Angelo made it clear there’s no room. Tripp insists on Ava coming to stay with him and says Joey is his brother so he will understand. Tripp argues that Ava has worked too hard to turn her life around and doesn’t deserve to be treated like this. Tripp pleads with Ava to come with him and let him help her out for a change. Ava then agrees to go but adds that there’s one thing she needs to take care of first.

EJ jokes with Chad that it’s hard to take rejection from a clown seriously. Chad gets that EJ is not used to hearing no. EJ admits he’s painfully aware that he treated him abysmally last time they worked together but promises that this time will be different. Chad tells EJ that means a lot to him and he appreciates it. Chad says he probably would say yes to the offer but he’s already taken another job. EJ says he knows about that as he read the press release that he’s consulting at SJ PR. EJ argues that the company can’t be much of a future for him, pointing out that they are going to lose a major client a week after the election and he’d have a lot more responsibility at DiMera. Chad responds that he doesn’t want more responsibility as he’s just dipping his toes back in and can choose how much he handle there which he appreciates. EJ tells him that he can come back to DiMera at his own pace then. Chad states that PR is different and he kind of likes it and he really likes working with Stephanie. EJ thought he detected something when he said Stephanie’s name but Chad assures that he’s not ready to date yet and probably won’t be for a very long time. EJ understands and says if Chad’s happy at his job then he’s happy for him, but if he ever changes his mind, the door to DiMera will always be open. Chad thanks him and says he really appreciates that. EJ hugs Chad and sends his love to his kids. EJ tells Chad that he’ll still get his shares back. Chad asks if Kate will get her shares back but EJ says never.

Steve finishes a call with John and informs Kayla and Joey that Marlena and Kate got the same card from Orpheus. Steve argues that Orpheus knows he failed in his mission, so he’s doing everything he can to make them think he’s still a threat, but he thinks Orpheus knows that he can’t beat them. Steve assures Kayla that Orpheus is never going to beat them. Tripp enters the room and says it looks like he’s late for the party. Tripp then asks what’s going on. Steve says it’s nothing he needs to worry about. Kayla brings up hearing that Tripp and Joey are determined to go back to Seattle tonight. Tripp informs Joey that they might have a little company staying with them for a little while.

Stephanie tells Paulina that she can explain but Paulina doesn’t want to hear it. Paulina complains that Stephanie lied to her over and over again and assured that she had the situation under control when all she’s done is make it even worse. Paulina questions what Stephanie was thinking by trying to pay off a blackmailer with fake money. Paulina complains about Stephanie not letting her know what was going on or giving her a chance to decide how to handle it. Paulina declares that now because of Stephanie’s foolishness, Sloan’s client is demanding even more money and she has no choice but to pay it. Stephanie responds that she knows where the documents are and asks for a chance to get her hands on them so she can make this right. Paulina asks how many times she’s heard that. Stephanie insists that she’s been working 24/7 to fix this but Paulina says she hasn’t accomplished anything. Stephanie reminds Paulina that she said if she pays Sloan, the demands will never stop. Paulina argues that thanks to Stephanie, she has no other choice.

Alex handcuffs Sloan to her bed and then blindfolds her. Sloan says now she can’t see him. Alex says the point is for her not to see what’s coming as he kisses her. Alex then reaches in to Sloan’s purse and says he has a surprise for her as he steals her keys. Sloan questions what he’s doing. Alex claims he’s getting undressed as he goes to unlock her filing cabinet. Sloan asks what that noise is. Alex repeats that it’s a surprise. Alex talks about a story he heard about his cousin handcuffing someone at a sex party and then not even having sex with them. Alex then retrieves the folder titled “Price” from the cabinet.

Stephanie apologizes to Paulina. Paulina doesn’t want to hear another word from her and says she can’t risk this secret coming out and ruining her chances of becoming Governor and more importantly, Chanel’s life. Stephanie repeats that she’s so sorry. Paulina warns that Stephanie will be even more sorry when she calls Victor and all of her other high profile clients to tell them that they need to cut ties with her ASAP. Paulina declares that by the time she’s done with her, SJ PR willl be DOA.

Joey questions Tripp inviting his mother to live with them without even asking him. Steve questions Ava agreeing. Tripp points out that Ava didn’t have much choice as she has nowhere else to go. Tripp adds that Ava is sad, lost, and alone but she is his mom. Joey questions wanting her to be their roommate. Kayla asks if she can’t talk Joey in to staying in Salem now.

EJ goes back to working at home and looks behind him, then tells himself to get a grip as there’s no knife wielding killer out there. The door then opens and EJ sees the person in the clown costume once again.

Stephanie goes to see Chad. Chad asks if she wants him to come in to work but Stephanie says not tonight and maybe not ever because she just got fired.

Sloan’s doorbell rings which startles Alex as Sloan remarks about the lousy timing.

EJ grabs a knife and demands to know who the clown is and what they want. She unmasks to reveal EJ’s mother, Susan Banks. EJ questions what she is doing here. Susan exclaims that she has to tell him something very important. Susan then tells EJ that he is in terrible danger.

Ava goes to the DiMera Crypt and tells Jake’s plaque that this is goodbye as she is leaving town. Ava says other than her grandson Henry, the only thing she’s sad to leave is Jake. Ava talks about what a big decision this was for her as she was determined to get revenge on EJ for what he did to them but she talked to her son Tripp and decided to just let it go. The door then opens and Ava’s dead son Charlie appears and declares that was her first mistake, listening to the wrong son.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Henry, the only thing I’m sad to leave is.

Stephanie, what up?

Sorry to keep leaving messages, but I’m pretty wound up as you can imagine. So I’m telling you again that as soon as you get that file from Sloan Peterson, I wanted deliver it to me immediately. Stephanie, I wanna thank you again for all you’ve done to neutralize that Viper. Me and my Chanel, we are forever your dead.

Oh,

what the hell? Hope this isn’t a bad time. It always is for you, Ms. Peterson. Not to mention our business is concluded. And who gave you that idea?

Ten two on the nose. Right? Oh, I missed the kids Halloween party, didn’t I? Yeah. You want a leftover circus peanut? Oh no. I hate circus peanuts. Yeah. Kids didn’t like ’em either. That’s why there’s nothing left in the bag. But those, well, the staff lead ’em. Don’t worry. We’re all about free food around here.

You just said we. Yeah, I did. Force of habit, right? Well, apropo of force of habit and the fact that you used to work here. I just ran into a little kid upstairs named Malachi. He was asking after you and he showed me the most impressive fake barf trick I’ve ever seen. He said you taught it to him. Oh man.

Yeah. I’m really sad I missed that, Malachi. Oh yeah, he’s a, he’s really cool kid. Yeah, he thinks you’re pretty cool too. In fact, he said, you’re best buds. So if you stick around a little longer, maybe you could teach him another trick. Mm. And if you stick around even longer, there we go. What? What? I was just about to say.

No, I was just about to say, if you stick around even longer, you could become his doc and his good butt again. Right. That I guess it actually, what I was gonna say was, I hope you stay in Salem because I really love having you here. I love being here, but my life is in Seattle now. I just got a return to get there tonight, so I just came to say goodbye.

Thank you Bell. I am indeed thrilled to be back running Damira. No, no. I don’t intend to go public about a Batali’s crimes. Not as long as she abides by our agreement. I’m sure I’m not the only one celebrating her banishment from Salem never to be seen or her from again.

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

My client is growing very impatient of your games. Well, if you knew anything about me at all, you know I don’t play games and neither do I. If you don’t pay up, this whole world will know you and your daughter’s dirty little secret. What are you talking about? Stephanie Johnson assured me that everything was resolved.

Well, I hate to break it to you, but your spin doctors spun a bunch of lies to the both of us.

Glad to see you’re still in the office. I’m glad you’re here too. So, aside from my main objective, which is revitalizing Bella Magazine, I am happy to report that I closed the McGowen deal. So I’m gonna need you to put out a press release for that asap. You know, the same standard self congratulatory bs. I will get right on that.

Thank you. But first I was hoping that I could ask you to do something for me.

So how Book your return flight, huh? Yeah, yeah. You know, now that Kayla’s doing well, I get back. That makes sense. But you know, your mom’s not gonna be too happy if you leave without seeing her. Wow. Really pulling out all the stops, aren’t you? I’m trying. Yeah. Well, as far as my mom goes, because you haven’t heard, well, I’ve been at the hospital 24 7 up until now.

What didn’t I hear? EJ Damara ran her outta town. I have no idea where she is.

Yes, I’m well aware that A and Gabby are likely are for my blood, but if they come for me, they’ll live to regret it or maybe not live at all. A little Halloween humor.

My mom made some bad choices. I know, but she was going to marry Jake. That part wasn’t a lie. Well, yeah, but does that excuse her from faking a marriage and helping herself to his demari shares? No, but I’m just saying that the punishment doesn’t fit the. She was grieving and ej what he took away Her job, her home?

Yeah. You know, he could have had her arrested and sent to Statesville. I’d say he treated her pretty well considering the circumstances. Well, not out of any sense of compassion. I mean, he had his own ulterior motives. What do you mean? I’d rather I get into it. Okay. So you have no idea where your mother is?

No, no. I just have a text from her saying that she’s okay and that she would see me soon,

but, well, it just doesn’t make sense. It’s not like Eva to give in and just leave.

That was. Damn a charge. You scared the hell outta me. There’s someone sneaking around outside. It’s the same damn costume. Ask anybody. Damn. They were, they were just right here. The way your PR meisters plan crashed and burned. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised she didn’t have the nerve to tell you. Tell me what that she sent her lackey, Chad Damira, to pay me off with Who’s money?

It wasn’t money. It was counterfeit. The only reason I found out was pure chance. If I hadn’t realized I was being scammed, I’d be out my retainer and my client could be arrested for passing big bills. You’re a fine Wanna be talking about fakes. I don’t believe a word of this ridiculous story. You have seen the evidence and you’ve heard my terms.

I’ve got no reason to lie. Has Stephanie called you today? No, but I’m sure. Gee, I wonder why she might be avoiding you. You are five points ahead in the polls and the election is next week. This is a terrible time to have your daughter’s exploits lashed across every newspaper cover in the state. Wouldn’t she agree?

Are you asking me for a favor? I know, I know. I already owe you big time for covering for me with Sloan last night. You think? Well, it’s not like I meant to find you handcuffed to her bed practically naked. Well, that was a surprise for the both of us, trust me. But you know, Stephanie, I do not think that the words naked and handcuffs in the same sentence is appropriate office conversation.

Probably not. Hmm. Look, I’m not going to tell Slum that you broke into her apartment, but you can’t do it again. You’re right about that. I can’t push my luck, but I told Paul Price that I would deliver the compromising materials This. Sloan’s been threatening her with today, and I don’t know how I’m gonna do that without your help.

So Stephanie told me that it’s far more interesting to be in Salem than to live in Seattle. Oh yeah. Did she tell you why she feels that? Oh, come on. You know, there is never a dull moment here. We have our own super villains, we have paranormal activities. There’s Dr. Ralph raising people from the dead. And of course you have your wildly fascinating family who lives here.

Gee, you wouldn’t be sending me on a guilt trip now, would you, mom? Mm-hmm. Be totally outta. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. All right. Enough about family. I was wondering about Wendy Shin. Wendy Shin. That’s a pretty random wonder. No, not really. I heard you and trip talking about her when you both thought I was sleepy.

What? You’re kidding. No. And it sounded like you were both kind of into her. Well, disregarding the fact that you were eavesdropping on trip and i’s conversation ? Um, I was not eavesdropping. You both were in my room talking very loudly as I recall. Mm, yeah, I guess we probably were. And you know, because you’re still in such a weakened state and I’ll let it go this time.

That was very kind. And uh, yeah, back to Wendy. Trip and I might be kind of into her, but unless you want Salem to get even more interesting, you definitely don’t wanna see the two of us in intense competition for the attention of the very same woman. So that won’t work for a reason, uh, to keep me or trip here.

Sorry. Okay. You’re right. But you can’t blame a girl for trying. No, I can’t. And I love you for it. Just remember, we’ll be video chatting all the time and you’ll come visit. We’ll come back here, you know? Right. But seriously, I do want you to be happy wherever you are. Thanks, mom.

So are you still on, on Track to get outta here? Absolutely. And if anybody tries to stand in my way, I promise you that I will sign me out myself. I bet you well, um, you sure it isn’t worth staying a couple extra days just to make sure you’re okay. Especially after scaring us all half to death with that, you know, flat lining stunt you pulled, tell the truth.

You did it for attention, didn’t you? Huh? Cause it worked. I mean, look at all these. Yeah. Honestly, I’ve been so exhausted. I haven a chance to look at them. Oh, I can help you out with that. What’s more fun than open in presence? Go for it. Okay. Judging by the size of this box, I’m guessing it is candy. Hm, let me see.

Well, if it is candy, it probably is from Julie. She really loves her salt water tap, and she always tapes the cards. Yeah, well see for yourself.

Wow. What’s wrong? Uh, this isn’t from Julie, it’s from Morpheus.

I’m sure you probably just saw a trick or treater

trick or treaters tend to come to the front door. Well, they probably got lost, or they’re playing a prank on you. They’re wearing the exact same outfit you have. Yeah, so we’re a hundred other people. I just took Thomas and Charlotte, the HARTON score. It’s a better song. These things were 1999.

Look what you saw out there was probably just. I suppose you right. Ah, why do you wanna see me? I gotta get home the talk of the kids very well. Um, I’ll make this short and sweet. Chad, I would like you to come back and look at the mirror.

I still think that file is in that locked filing cabinet in Sloan’s apartment, which is total speculation on your. Well, it wouldn’t be if I’d had the chance to pick the lock, but you didn’t and we just agreed that you can’t do that again. Okay. You’re right about that. Um, but maybe someone who’s a welcome visitor to slums bedroom could somehow find the opportunity.

Hold up. Are you asking me to pick a lock? Like. Legit commit a crime. Nevermind. You probably don’t have the skills. Oh, that’s not the point. Or maybe you can look around and find the key. Oh, I think I know where the key is, but I also think that stealing from Sloan is crossing a major line. Oh, come on.

Think about the line she’s crossed. Sloane should have never had these materials in the first place. Look, When I first took this job with Paulina, I thought that helping her get elected was gonna be simple, you know, the usual fundraisers and campaign speeches. I’ve never dealt with anything like this before.

It was blackmail and I guess it just threw me. I mean, the stakes have never been higher. I just, I thought I could do my usual clever spin until I managed to fix the situation. I’ve always been able to do it. Why not the ceiling? When you’re fast on your feet, you trust that you’ll always find a way to be able to run yourself outta trouble, so you can’t.

But now you’re asking me to fix things for you. This is not just about me. Well, no, this is about Paulina and her. Now you know what this is about so much more than that. This is about the future of our community and state. We are laying it on thick now, aren’t we? No, I’m not. Paulina’s campaign is way more than a job for me.

I believe in her. I think she can do great things for this state. I’d work for her for. Wow. So then I suppose that would be a bad time to ask you to maybe reconsider the ridiculous rate that you’re charging. Titan, are you gonna help me or not? Well, Stephanie, why don’t we get clear on what this help is that you are asking of me?

You are asking me to go have sex with Sloane. Yeah, you can go over to Sloan’s apartment and look for a key without having sex with her again, for sure. But

look, there are no real feelings between me and Sloan, but sex or no sex, I don’t feel comfortable going over to her apartment with a secret agenda of stealing from her.

You know what? I shouldn’t have asked you to do this. This is my problem. I will solve it myself. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to go deal with this press release.

This is pure, unadulterated black male. It’s business shady as hell business. And when I’m governor, the first thing I’m going to do is report you to the state bar for unethical practices. You’ll never be governor if you don’t make this deal. And might I add these stalling techniques aren’t exactly earning points with my client.

In fact, the price just went up dramatically. Oh. Well, you can tell your mystery client, I am done dealing with underlings. I demand to speak with him directly. And what makes you think it’s a him? I’m paid to protect my client’s anonymity. So you’re gonna deal with me and only me here is the new dollar figure.

And the number to the escrow will count offshore. If the money’s not in their first thing tomorrow morning, your political career is over, and so is your daughter’s life as you know it.

I know it’s not like my mom to just let go of anything without a fight. I think that falling in love with Jake Damara and then losing him so suddenly just took all the fight out of her. Well, I hope that’s true for your’s sake, because I know how devoted you are to your mom, and I don’t want to have to see you worrying about her all the time.

Okay. It’s probably wondering where I am about now. I think your brother’s in there saying, You wanna come and join us? Yeah. I’ll be there in a minute. I’m gonna text my mom, let her know I’m heading out tonight. I’m still hoping I might find a way to be able to see her before I leave.

I hope so too.

Uh, the holiday party’s upstairs. You got off on the front floor.

What’s your mother,

son of a bitch? Has the goal to send you a get well card? What does it say? Hey, Joe. Hey dad.

Oh man, some candy,

sweetness. What’s wrong? Orpheus sent her a.

Congratulations. You’ve lived to tell the tale. I don’t know how you managed to get your hands on that serum, but I am man enough to admit when I’ve been vested, I guess it’s back to Statesville for me. I may have squandered my pardon. A few ladies will never be far from my thought. Sincerely.

Hey, what are you doing here? I, you’re leaving town, right? So I figured you’d be here hanging with the Johnson Klan. I, I’ve been so worried about you. I’m really sorry that EJ threatened you and it makes you feel any better. I really got into it with him and I punched him in the face, in fact. Okay. Well that’s my boy

So, so tell me what your plan is. Like where, where are you staying? Do you have any money? No, I’m making due. Right? Well, if you need anything, mommy shouldn’t have to be sneaking around to see the people you care about. Okay. Well, I’m not gonna have to sneak around much longer. Okay. You’re the only person left that I care about am mean other than my grandson who barely knows me.

What if you go someplace you wouldn’t sneak around at all? Come back to Seattle with me.

So what exactly would I be doing at Damara? Whatever you want. You can name me on times, you know the company inside and out, and I need you on my. And of course your stock shares will be returned to you.

That’s unexpected. Having the company back in the family’s hands means everything to me. But having everyone get along, dare I say, working together means even more.

That means. And I am very grateful that we were able to make amends. I’m flattered ej, but uh, as far as the offer, I have to say no.

Oh my, I did not know we were playing dress up tonight. So should I go put on my orange jumpsuit? You know, I think we’re both wearing too many twelves. Strip search it is then. Mm-hmm.

Oh, I could really use a dish nest. I had one hell of a day. Really? What happened? You know, I can’t disclose the details of my cases with you, but, um, you hired Stephanie Johnson for Titan pr? No. Yeah. Why?

You should really get rid of her. Like I said, I can’t go into details. Suffice to say she is an incompetent lying bitch.

Whoa. I’m sorry to hear that. It’s too bad, but I didn’t come here to talk about business. I can’t even to handle it this time. Mm-hmm. , I’ll do the honors.

Paulina. Hi. Listen, I got your messages. May I presume you have the materials you promise to get from Sloan about that. Do you have them or don’t you? I don’t have them in my hands right this minute, but don’t worry, I’m working on it as we speak. Oh, I’m not worried. I’m furious. Ms. Peterson was just here a few minutes ago.

Oh yes. Oh, I’m fired, aren’t I? With extreme prejudice.

I don’t know, trip. You know the cost of living in Seattle won’t be a problem for you, I swear. Right? You can stay with me and Joey in Stephanie’s old, old room. Yeah. Joey’s not gonna be too happy about that. What’s the alternative? Mom gonna go back to Philly. It’s the life you look behind. Okay. You know what?

You will be very glad to know that I couldn’t go back to that life, even if I wanted. Cousin Angelo’s taking a new bride, and he made it crystal clear that there is no room in the tri-state area for two mafia princesses. Okay, then come and stay with me. Joey’s my brother, he’ll understand. Mom, you’ve worked too hard to turn your life around and you don’t deserve to be treated like this.

So just come with me please. Let me help you out for a change.

Okay. Really . Yeah, there’s, um, there’s just one thing I need to take care of first.

It’s hard to take rejection from a clown all that seriously, and I realize you’re not used to hearing the word. Look, Chad, I am painfully aware that I treated you abysmally last time you worked together, but I promise you this time things will be different. Look, ej, that means a lot to me. Really. I appreciate it.

And, and, and honestly, I, I probably would say yes to the offer, but I’ve already taken another job. I know about that. I, I read the press release. You’re consulting at S J P R, but surely there can’t be much of a future in that for. The company is going to lose a major client in one week after the election for one thing, and you’d have a lot more responsibility at the mirror.

But see, that’s the thing. I don’t want more responsibility. I’m just dipping my toe back in and, and you know, I get to choose how much I can handle there. And, and I, I appreciate that. Fine. You can come back to DIR at your own. Look pr it’s different. And honestly, I kind of like it and I really like working with Stephanie.

What? Nothing. I, I, I just, I just thought I detected a little something when you mentioned to her name. Stop. Why? Because I said that I like working with, with her. No, I’m not ready to date yet. And, and honestly, I probably won’t be for a very long.

I can certainly understand that. Look, if you are happy in your current job, then I’m happy for you. But if you ever change your mind, the door to DIR will always be open. Thank you. I really, I really appreciate it. Now I know you have to get out of here. I will give my love to your kids. Okay. Okay. Hey, so I still get my shares back.

Of course. What about Kate? She get hers back. Never. Okay buddy. Thanks

Marla. And Kate got the same card, but you ladies will never be far from my thoughts. God, that’s so creepy. Yeah. It’s pretty simple. Orpheus knows he failed in his mission, so he’s doing whatever he can to make us think he’s still a threat, but I think he sees it riding on the wall and he knows he can’t beat us.

You know that baby, don’t you? Orpheus is never gonna beat us. Right? You welcome. Hey, let’s get a little late for the party.

What’s going on? Nothing you need to worry about.

Um, so I hear that uh, you boys are determined to go back to Seattle tonight. Yeah. And uh, Joey looks like we might have a little company stay with us for a little while.

I can explain. I don’t want to hear it. You lied to me over and over again. You assured me that you had control of the situation when all you’ve done is make it even worse. Now, what hell were you thinking? Trying to pay a black male with funny money. Okay. I thought, no, you didn’t. If you’d given it the least bit of fault, you would’ve let me know the truth of what was going on and given me the chance to decide how to handle this situation.

No, you took that chance away from me. Now because of your foolishness, miss Peterson’s client is the man even more money, and I had no choice what to pay it. I know where the documents are. Just give me a chance to get my hands on them and I can make this right. Oh, how many tons have I heard? Ms. Price. I have been working 24 7 to fix this.

I’d rather you’d work nine and a five and actually accomplish something. You said it yourself. If you pay her, the demands will never stop. It will, thanks to you. I really have no other options. Now, do I?

Let’s make things a little bit more exciting. What do you have in mind? Officer? I’ve been a very bad girl. Lucky for you. I know exactly how to handle bad girls. Hmm? What are you doing? Don’t worry, baby. You just lay there. All beautiful. And relax. Well, now I can’t see your handsome and face and hot body.

And what’s the point in that? Well, the point that no peeking is for you. Mm-hmm. not to see what’s coming.

Okay. Okay. A B,

do I have a surprise for you?

What are you doing? I told you, baby, I’m getting undressed. How many buttons does that outfit have? What’s that noise? I told you, babe. It’s a surprise. You know, I, um, heard this story about my cousin going to this sex. Where she handcuffed the guy to bed while she was searching for this rare amethyst, and you know what?

She didn’t even end up sleeping with the guy.

What a.

I’m so sorry, Paulina. I really wanted to her for you. I want to hear another word coming outta your lying mouth. I can’t risk the secret coming out and ruining not only my chances of becoming governor, but more importantly my daughter’s life. I’m so sorry. You’re going to be even sorry. You know, I call Victor CUAs and all your other high profile.

And tells them they need to cut ties with you asap. By the time I’m done with U S J R will be DOA with a dnr.

Wait a minute, you invited your mother to live with us without even asking me. And she actually agreed. I mean, she didn’t have much choice. She doesn’t have anywhere else to go, but she’s sad. She’s lost and. Well, she is my mom, so now you want her to be our roommate. Sure. I can’t talk you into staying in Salem

at a grip. There is no knife wielding killer out there.

You don’t look like a trick or treater. Can I just do a sour gummy? No. Thank you. Okay, well you want me to come into work? I just have to finish up with the kids. No, not tonight, and maybe not ever. I just got fired.

Talk about lousy timing. They’re telling me,

don’t take another step. Who are you and what do you want?

Yes, mother. You startled me. What are you doing here? Oh my goodness. I wish. Oh my God. I have to tell you, something’s very, very, very, very important. Oh my God. It’s me talking. Your mama talking. Okay. I the clown over there. I mean, I don’t think clowns here said like, you having bad news. What, baby? What do you need to tell me?

I want to tell you something sweet. Her el. You are in terrible. Daddy, you.

This is goodbye Jake. I am leaving town other than my grandson Henry. The only thing I am sad to leave is.

I want you to know what a big decision this was for me. I was determined to get revenge and you’re bastard of brother for he did me and what he did to both of us.

Can I talk to my son?

And I decided to just let it. Ah, well that was your first mistake.

You’ve been listening to the wrong son.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

are divorced. You just signed the papers. Oh yeah. I’m sorry. No, no, no. It’s

Don’t pee. I won’t, I, I won’t minute. Something smells really good. Okay. You can listen now. I can. Oh my goodness. Look at you. I’m a princess. You are a princess. Oh my goodness. Yes. Well, these look spectacular little princess. They’re pumpkin. I made them from scratch. Oh, did. Hello everyone. Mommy, you look great.

She’s a. Yes, I know. And daddy’s gonna be a king, which makes us the royal family. Can grandma be a part of the royal family? Oh, well that’s up to her, isn’t it?

Lady,

so tell me, what are you doing going through Kristin’s things?

Oh my goodness. What a surprise. , you look terrific. This for you.

I dunno. Come on, come on in. I’ll get you some coffee. Honestly, Stephan, I was just gonna drop this off with Harold and keep going. Well then it’s a good thing I open the. But you’re working? Nah, it’s nothing important. I’m just getting caught up on stuff to mirror, that’s all.

So, which one of you wants to sign first?

I do.

I cannot wait to be rid of you once and for all. Stephen. Hey, what is it? What’s wrong? Nothing. Nothing at all.

Dr. Ralph Lee Shin everything okay in Ja. I’m sorry to hear that, but the reason I’m calling is Gabby told me about going to the lab.

Yes. It was very wrong of her to hold a scalpel to your throat, but I wanted to know how you managed to convince her that you hadn’t brainwashed Stephan, because we need to keep our stories straight Now. What exactly did you tell her that got her to back down?

What? What kind of. But why in God’s name did you have to erase her memory? You told her the truth. Do you understand? You wouldn’t have had to erase her memory if you hadn’t told her what she was never supposed to know. I know Gabby was in attack mode, but still you spineless little.

I think you, who are you talking to?

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

Thanks for the update. Catch you later, Don. You look provocative. Hmm. Uh, I asked you who you were talking to. Well, curiosity killed the cat. Yeah. I am curious, I mean, you said I was in a attack mode and, well, that doesn’t sound particularly complimentary, so I’d like to know who you said it to. To a venture capitalist and they think attack mode.

Is the sexiest thing going Venture capitalist. We have to raise a lot of money in a very short amount of time. That is, if we’re going to take over me, really think we can do it. All you have to do is trust me.

So I was just thinking about you. Well, if I’m honest, I’ve been thinking about you kind of nonstop since our fake trip to our fake beach. Uh, that’s, that’s why I stopped by. I wanted to return the sunglasses and the shirts. No need. It’s a gift, yo. Okay. Thank you. Well, I, I, I should go, but, uh, you haven’t had your coffee yet.

Oh right. Yeah. Thank you.

You know, I was, uh, thinking it is very kind of you to stop by and drop that stuff off so quickly, but if I’m honest, I was hoping you were just stopping by to see me.

Well, I think, uh, Marlene is enjoying the pancakes, Rachel, and I’m quite pleased at how they turned out. Well. They’re very good. Rachel. Oh, oh, oh, I’m sorry. I mean, princess Rachel, thank you so much. You know what, Rachel? Sweetheart, you know it’s gonna make those even better. Jelly. Do you mind going to the kitchen and grabbing some?

Sure. Be right back.

Well, I can see you’re having a wonderful Halloween. You’re just including joy and excitement. I think Rachel’s pretty excited, , but you treat her mother like a intruder, you know? Don’t you think your granddaughter can see you searing at me. This is Brady’s home. He’s invited you here. Without notice, I might.

We weren’t warned about it, but I feel kind of sad for Chloe because I think she and Brady have been very happy together. If you’re so upset at how Chloe was treated, you can take that up with Brady. It was his idea to dump her

that, come on. I wasn’t going through Kristen’s things. I was, I was looking for this guy. Here he is. It’s Rachel’s favorite dog. Had to find him. She was worried about it and. Found him, right? Oh, that explains everything. Yeah. So mission accomplished, I guess. So how about you and I just cut the crap now, I’m sorry.

Out of the blue, you break up with Chloe. I bring Myla to home from the hospital, and now we have Kristen Dira as our star border. And when I ask you. Repeatedly what’s happening here? You just go into your, I’m doing this for Rachel Mantra. I am. But what about the fact that it’s not good for Rachel and now in the name of God, could you even move that woman into this house here without talking to Mar later?

You know how long she was on death store? She comes in here and finds out Christ and Demira is living in her house. No. Have you even forgotten what that woman has done to Mar Lane? And not to mention everybody else she loves including No. No. I haven. I’m sorry, things with Kristen moved really fast and I, um, I meant to tell you before you headed out, and I’m really sorry about what this is doing to Marlena, but I, um, how you calling me?

Hanging here kid? Come on. But what that, what will you just believe? But believe me when I say that I’m doing what I think is best for the people that I love, I never doubted that poor moment. Thank you, but kid, I am your dad and you can trust me. So whatever the hell is going on here, you can tell me.

What kind of car are you driving these days? You know I can’t drive. Yeah, well you still have the greatest smile in the world. And you’re still goofy. Yeah. Sadly. Yes, I am. I missed you so much.

So come with us to H Town Square. Oh, Eric’s working, honey. Yeah, but it does sound like fun. It is. They give out like a thousand pounds of candy every year. A thousand p what? Hey, aren’t she supposed to be in a costume? It’s in the, it’s a surprise. Mm-hmm. . Okay. I got. Why don’t you come by in your costume here afterwards and we’ll take some photos and then I can still tell your candy

Hey, uh, are these the photos from the dude? Oh yes. But you are not working today and you are on your way to the warden town Square.

Oh, actually, uh, I do have to work today too. Then who’s gonna take my trick or treating? I have to tell you. I like your outfit a lot. Well, it’s not for you. I’m taking art. The Horton Town scare. What is that? Well, they, they decorate the square. The shops all give out candy. The kids get dressed up. So you’re a kid now.

Very funny. Now Ari, Ari wanted us to be cats and I’ve just missed so many Halloweens with her, and either I was working or she was in Phoenix, but not that I’m outta work, I just feel like I’m making up for lost time. Hmm, that’s nice. Yeah, she’s almost a teenager now. Pretty soon she’ll want nothing to do with me.

I can’t imagine anyone wanting nothing to do with you. Well, what about Stephan? The truth is I did wanna see you, but it just didn’t seem fair. Why not? Well, I’m not the greatest company these days. I’ll be the judge of that.

Okay. It’s, it’s also cuz you said that you were, you know, madly in love with you.

I think what you want is a girlfriend, and what I want is pretend trips to pretend beaches, and it just didn’t seem fair to let you think it was something else. Well, don’t worry about being fair. I enjoy spending time with you

and I know you’re not gonna get over Brady in a day. Especially after the way he dumbed me. Yeah. That was not cool. Yeah, but I even, I understand that, you know, Rachel hates me and he’s really worried about her. That still doesn’t excuse the way he treated you. I still get that. You know, he’s under pressure.

You know what I don’t understand is letting that evil woman move to John and Marlena’s. I, I just don’t get it and I keep forgetting. I’m talking about your sister. I’m sorry. That’s okay. I am well aware that Kristin is not about to win any popularity contests. It just doesn’t make any sense moving her into the house.

Well, maybe it’s because they have a shrink on call 24 7. Sorry, that wasn’t funny. No, but it’s just so absurd. I’m sorry I didn’t, I didn’t come here to unload all my problems onto you. No, no, no. Come on. That’s what I’m here for.

Have you had breakfast? They put out a hell of a spread. It sounds great, but I’m late for work. 30 minutes tops, huh? Tell you what,

we will pretend that we are at the breakfast buffet at the Villa Costa Costa Arena, Miami Beach. Hmm. And we will also pretend that neither of us has ever heard of sale. Heard of what

I’ve always been impressed and a bit mystified at, uh, Chloe’s talent for soliciting sympathy. Maybe because sympathy. A completely foreign concept to you. Take go. Mommy . Thank you darling.

Were you still having a fight? ? No, honey, we were just waiting for Daddy. Oh. Or should I say King Brady? Yeah. Come to think about where. Brady and I, grandpa John, dad, I trust you more than anyone on the planet, and I know it’s gotta be hard for you to understand why I’m doing what I’m doing, because you won’t tell me what you’re doing.

You’re just handing me a cover story, don’t you think? I know. I know, I know. This is, let me tell you this. I am doing what I think is best for my family, and I’m doing it the way that you would do it. I’m asking you to trust me on this one. I do, I do. Are you sure? There’s nothing that I can do to help you

there. You boys are in my room going through my things and, uh, apparently talking about me. Well, you know what, Kristen? It’s my house. This is my. And I can talk to him when I want to, where I want to, and about any damn thing that I wanna,

this is only day one. I hope he doesn’t crack under pressure. He won’t, neither will Marlena. Well, don’t expect me to. I can take whatever they dish out. What about Rachel? Have you given one ounce of thought about the, the loving, stable environment you’ve created here? You know, there is a petulant streak in your family That I find very annoying.

Okay, then just move out. But is she right now? This invasion of my privacy forces me to, to state the obvious. Brady. I may be many things but stupid. Stupid is not one of them. My hold over you is that I alone have the serum so that I can help your beloved. Beloved stepmother says that she doesn’t well crook.

Now, if you had a hold of that serum, then I would not have hold of you

So no Brady. It is not in my underwear drawer. And. Under the floorboard, it is someplace where you will never find it, and you are under my thumb.

I know this doesn’t hurt you, but any man who doesn’t want to be with you is a damn fool. It’s. It’s just why, I mean, it’s the way that Stefan hates me. It’s like when we first met and we were at each other’s throats, but it’s not, it’s different. I mean, we used to fight, but there was this underlying connection and now he looks at me like, like I make him sick.

That’s why I knew that Ralph had to have done something except I talked to Ralph and I know that’s not true. I wanna remind you of something you said because I think it is true. Stephan’s attitude towards you makes moving on easier. The Stephan you knew and loved is gone, but I’m here and I swear the way I feel about you will never change.

I, I feel the same way about you, and I’m gonna concentrate on you. Okay? And I’m gonna forget about stuff, and I swear

I’ve forgotten how good these croons are, right? They’re out here every morning. Hey, we could have a standing breakfast date. I know I’m nothing if not relentless. Hold on. Oh, it’s Nicole. She’s probably what I am. Nicole. Hey, I’m on my way, Chloe. I, I’m sorry. I need a big favor. Sure. Can you take Holly to the Horton Town Scare?

I promise we’d go and something came up. Yeah, sure. I’d love to. Do you need to swing by the office to pick her up? Yes, of course. I’ll be right there. Hi. Must be my lucky day. First I get to have breakfast with you and now I get to take Holly. Trick or treating. Huh? That’s great. How about I go with you?

Look what iPhone.

Those pancakes look great. Those are better than great . Mommy and me made them together. Mm. You look thirsty. Would you like some orange juice? I would love some orange juice. Princess, Rachel, thank you very much.

Is everything okay? Well, I don’t think so Do you,

Brady, I want you to know that I am not angry with. Whatever leave. I expect you to go searching for the serum. You are take action kind of man, but you’re not gonna find it. So right now, for all our sakes and more, even for Rachel’s sake, I’m asking you to accept what you cannot change. Like you always.

Except what you cannot change. That’s a serenity prayer, isn’t it? I mean, don’t you think that the three of us need a little Serenity Brady? Come on. Right now. Right now. I mean, what we wanted, it’s, it’s, it’s within our grass, so just please just stop fighting it. It wasn’t long ago that you, you wanted us all to be a family and now we are.

No, we’re not. You will always be Rachel’s mother, but what we had is gone. You resent by taking the res, they’re shaking the re no on. What I resent is you using three human beings to blackmail me in a submission. That’s not a family. Kristen. That’s tyranny. Do you want power over me? Do you wanna bring me to my knee?

You know, grad, this could be the time and place to do just.

No, Kristen? Not here. Not now, not anywhere. Not ever. I wouldn’t count on it. You see, there’s a, a cliche now it goes, there’s a thin line between love and hate. And, uh, we both remember that you used to love me, but you are not the woman that I used to love. See, the Kristin that I loved would never humiliate herself by trying to blackmail someone into sleeping room.

Kristin, I can see that you have all the power at present. I’ll concede that you have me under your thumb at present. You can make me do whatever you want me to do. Do you know what you can’t do? You can’t change how I feel and what I feel for you is contempt.

Hm.

You are not gonna win this one Brady. Come on. Holly and I are old friends. We used to hang out all the time when you guys lived here. Remember she was the Sant person in this house, albeit a very low bar. She always liked you. Yeah. Then it settled. The three of us will go together. Um, well, we don’t have any costumes, Uhha.

Oh, but we do.

I’m sorry. I keep talking about Stephan. Gabby, I’ve said it before, your husband who you really love very much came back from the dead, or is she going to talk about it? Just having a hard time accepting that he hates me, and that’s why I was sure that Ralph had done something to him, but I know that’s not true.

It feels like when Stephan died, so did his love. But I, I know it’s over. We’ve signed the divorce papers and thank God I have you and you always will love you, right? I have to get going cause I gotta go pick up Ariana Sons. How come with you? It’s, it’s a who in town scare. It’s corny. Kids running around.

Not a drop of champagne anywhere. You’d hate it. I think it sounds like a really good way for RA and me to get to know each other a little better. Don’t you have to go into the office? Nah, I can take the morning off. I just, uh, I don’t have a costume. Ears. Ears. I’m going to the town. Square dresses, ears. No.

Ariana and I are both cats, but she doesn’t wanna wear her ears because, well, she says it messes up her hair. So here you go. How do I look like the cats me?

You look so beautiful, sweetheart. Say to you, mommy. Oh, thank you. And what’s taking your daddy so long? Got me to go get him? Oh, no, no, no, honey. Um, we’ll give him another five minutes. Um, Yeah, you should come with us. Yes, please. . Well, thank you. I’m afraid we don’t have any costumes. Oh, well what about that old, uh, devil’s costume from last year and, uh, John, I’m sure you can find a Roman collar around here someplace.

What? Too soon we’ll pass. Oh, well, maybe next year. Oh,

You look great, daddy. Right? Thank you so much. Is this Princess Rachel J. King Brady? Yes, I am. You may call me Your Majesty. Okay. Your Majesty . All right. Shall we go? Huh? Princess Rachel, king Brady. Sure. Queen Kristin. All right. Time to go.

Thank you.

This is a nightmare. Rachels having a good time. Yeah. Yeah. And that helps.

Him and Dog Brady refuses to tell me what’s going on here. I’m baffled. I can’t figure out why he brought that awful woman here to,

they didn’t like the proofs. They didn’t like the proofs. They loved them . Really? That’s great. Yeah. What? Well, um, the problem is they want more photos and they want them yesterday. It’s for the Black Friday marketing blitz. So they’re pulling more clothes and they’re sending them over. Okay. That, that’s, that’s good news.

Yeah. Yeah. I guess, I guess. Um, but there’s, I talk to them, um, I try to actually talk them out of it really, but they want me to do this shoot too. I’m not saying why this is bad news. I wanted to spend time with Holly. She, you know, she did seem pretty happy about going with Lou and Stephan. Yeah. How would you sit through it and we’ll get you there in time so you can catch up with him?

No. Eric, I, I don’t want you to rush through the photo shoot. I’m telling you they were crazy about your work. I mean, this, this could get your photography career started again. Listen, when you’re the model, everything just works better and faster. I mean, you said it. We work really well together.

You know, it’s like we planned this. Chloe and I are dressed for the beach and. Or a shark, which means we are very, very scared of you. Good. You’re supposed to be scared on Halloween, right? I mean like that’s the point, isn’t it? Absolutely. Yeah. I’m going to Sweet. It’s before all the brownies are gone. Okay.

Go. Go. Hurry, hurry. I like that kid. Yeah, she likes you too. Yeah. She seems to remember all the stuff that you guys did together. Well, you know it’s because I exposed her to the finer things in life. Oh, really? Classical music, foreign films. I’m pretty sure Metallica is not classical music and the past and the furious movies are not foreign.

Well, you gotta start somewhere. I know why you guys get along. You’re probably the same age emotionally. Okay. That’s only when I’m with you. Okay. When I’m with you, it’s, it’s like I’m not this money driven corporate warrior. I’m, you know, laid back surfer dude. Oh wow. Okay. Well, I’m gonna start calling you surfer dude.

Then call me anything you want.

Well, stuff it really didn’t expect to see you here.

Hey Nicole. I am ready whenever you are. Okay. So where do you want me,

Stephan? Chloe, do you know Gabby’s daughter, Ari? Yeah, of course I do. Happy L Honey. Uh, do you know Holly Nicole’s. Hi. Hi. You are smart to ditch the hair. Yeah, they look dumb. Did you just get here? Yeah, I’ll pick you to the high though. They’ve got popcorn balls. Is that okay? Yeah, sure. Have fun. Sorry, it’s my dad.

I have to take this. Oh, Holly looks like she’s having problems with that door. So fin, I’ll be right back.

So who are you pocket or tubs? Neither. And, uh, trust me, Gabby, you don’t need to make small talk. Yeah, no. Yeah, you’re right. We have absolutely nothing to say to each other.

Kristen wasn’t kidding. That kitchen does look like a tornado. Hit it,

John. They’re gone. You can talk to me now. Excuse me, you haven’t said a word in 20 minutes. Well, I, I, I’m sorry, sweetheart. I’m just, I’m just mulling over something that, uh, that Brady said. You know, I was pounding him pretty hard about leaving Chloe, Kristen moving in here, and then he finally said something he said,

I’m doing what I think is best for the people that I love. He didn’t, he didn’t say for Rachel, he said For the people that I love, doc. I think I know why Brady was in Kristen’s room going through her things. What are you thinking? He was looking for that serum.

Okay. Don’t go too far. Okay. I can see you. I really nice doing these things together. We’re standing here together. We’re not doing this together. Would you mind just meeting me halfway? For Rachel’s sake, you need to stop saying for Rachel. None of what you’re doing is for Rachel’s sake, okay? You’re wrong.

You’re wrong. I’ve never seen her so happy. Everybody living under the same roof, everyone she loves. I mean, think about how I must feel living in the same house with John and Marlina. I am making a huge sacrifice for her. Hmm. Oh my God. Look at that little creep. He’s just cut in front of her. Oh, he’s gonna regret this big time.

As much as I regret the day I laid eyes on you.

We know that Ralph has always been on the Demira payroll, so what, what if, what if Kristin got the serum from Ralph and has been using yet the blackmail Brady doesn’t make any sense if Kristin. Had had Blackmailed Brady with a serum. And the moment he knew that we’d all recovered, he would’ve left her, he would’ve gone back to Chloe.

But instead he moved Kristin in with us. So what was he looking for in her room and why the hell won’t he tell me what’s going on here? I, I, I swear to God, I don’t know how or why, but Kristen is calling all of the shots here, Brady. He’s doing everything he can to try to change. Brady. Hey, I’m assuming that you’re King Brady.

King Brady. I still don’t believe adults should wear Halloween costumes, at least past the age of 10, but yeah. But you’re doing it for Rachel’s sake, right? Yeah. I know Chloe, I saw that you came with my, uh, brother Stephan. I know how much he adore. I hope Rachel has a fun Halloween. Oh, she will. With her mom and her dad.

She’s very happy that we’re a family again,

Chloe, actually, I was, uh, meaning to ask you, I noticed your way with Holly. Is Nicole okay?

What about. Oh, no. That’s awful. No, no, no. You’re beautiful.

Well, um, that’s, that’s the one you’re gonna go with. I’m gonna go change and meet Holly of this square. Yeah. Okay. Go have fun.

Nicole asked me to bring Holly here, and then I volunteered to tag along. How does Brady feel about that? Brady and I aren’t together anymore. Oh, that’s why he’s here with. And Rachel, he’s here mainly for Rachel, right? Yeah. Stephan, looks like you didn’t waste any time making your move. Stephen and Holly are my friends.

Yeah, of course. Stephan came to hang out with Holly. Well, it was great bumping into you. Happy surfing. Hey, hey, hey. You okay? Yeah, I’m fine. I, um, I just, I’m surprised to see that Chloe and, and Brady broke up because I saw them like two minutes ago and it looked like there was still a connection. I’m gonna go check up on Ari,

just like there’s still a connection between you and Stephan. Uh, I’m, I’m sorry for whatever that was with Gabby. Are you two? No, no, no. You two are divorce. I just signed the papers. Oh yeah. I’m sorry. No, no, no. It’s exactly what I wanted. It still doesn’t make it easy. Trust me. I, I have experience.

Well, it looks like we’ve both got what we.

Stephanie, what up?

Sorry to keep leaving messages, but I’m pretty wound up as you can imagine. So I’m telling you again that as soon as you get that file from Sloan Peterson, I wanted live it to me immediately. Stephanie, I wanna thank you again for all you’ve done to neutralize that Viper. Me and my Chanel, we forever your dead.

Oh,

what the hell? Hope this isn’t a bad time. It always is for you, Ms. Peterson. Not to mention our business is concluded. And who gave you that idea?

Brady and Kristen’s daughter Rachel brings Marlena pumpkin pancakes at home. Rachel is dressed as a princess for Halloween and then Kristen joins her in the room, dressed as a queen. Rachel mentions that Brady will be a king. Kristen comments that they will then be the royal family. Rachel asks if there’s room for Marlena in the royal family. Kristen guesses that is up to Marlena.

Brady enters Kristen’s room and finds her bag on the bed. Brady opens it up but John walks in and questions what Brady is doing by going through Kristen’s things.

Nicole brings Holly to the Basic Black office. Holly runs in and excitedly hugs Eric. Eric tells her that she looks terrific and so does Nicole.

Stefan brings Chloe in to the DiMera Mansion and invites her to have coffee. Chloe doesn’t want to interrupt him working but Stefan says he’s just getting caught up on DiMera Enterprises. Stefan picks up a stack of papers and sees his divorce papers, then he flashes back to signing them. Chloe asks Stefan what’s wrong. Stefan claims nothing at all.

Li calls Dr. Rolf from his room at the Salem Inn. Li tells him that Gabi told him about confronting him at the lab. Li wants to know how Dr. Rolf convinced Gabi that he didn’t brainwash Stefan so they can keep their stories straight. Li questions what exactly Rolf told Gabi that got her to back down. Dr. Rolf reveals that he injected her with a drug to erase her memory because he told her the truth. Li argues that he wouldn’t have had to erase her memory if he didn’t tell her what she was never supposed to know. Li angrily calls Dr. Rolf spineless until Gabi comes out of the bathroom in a cat costume and questions who Li is talking to. Li hangs up and lies to her about the call being work related. Li tells Gabi that all she has to do is trust him when it comes to them taking over DiMera.

Stefan tells Chloe that he’s been thinking about her non stop. Chloe brought back the sunglasses and shirt from when he created a beach set up in her hotel room but Stefan says there’s no need and that they are a gift. Chloe thanks him and decides she should go but Stefan points out that she hasn’t had her coffee yet. Chloe then takes it and thanks him. Stefan calls it very kind of her to stop by and drop the stuff off so quickly, but he was hoping that she was just stopping by to see him.

Marlena compliments Rachel’s pancakes and thanks her. Kristen sends Rachel to the kitchen to get some jelly. Kristen then mocks Marlena’s Halloween spirit. Marlena thinks Rachel is pretty excited while Kristen complains that Marlena is treating her like an intruder. Kristen feels Rachel can see Marlena sneering at her. Marlena points out that this is Brady’s home and he invited her here without notice or warning. Marlena feels sad for Chloe because she thinks she and Brady were very happy together. Kristen argues that she can take that up with Brady because it was his idea to dump Chloe.

Brady claims that he wasn’t going through Kristen’s things but looking for Rachel’s favorite stuffed animal and now he found it. John tells Brady to cut the crap and questions him breaking up with Chloe out of the blue and now they have Kristen DiMera. John says when he asks him repeatedly, he goes in to his doing it for Rachel mantra. John questions it not being good for Rachel and how Brady could move Kristen in without talking to Marlena first. John asks if Brady has forgotten what Kristen has done to Marlena and everyone she loves. Brady shouts that he hasn’t. Brady apologizes and says things moved fast with Kristen and he intended to tell him. Brady asks John to just believe him when he says he’s doing what is best for the people he loves. John responds that he never doubted that for a moment but argues that he can trust him and tell him whatever the hell is going on here.

Holly invites Eric to come with her and Nicole to the town square but Nicole points out that Eric is working. Holly talks about all the candy they give out. Eric suggests Holly come back after in her costume and they can take photos. Nicole then gets a text and declares that she has to work today now too. Holly questions who is going to take her trick or treating.

Li tells Gabi that he likes her outfit a lot. Gabi explains that she’s taking her daughter Arianna to the Horton Town Scare where they decorate the town square and give out candy. Gabi talks about how Arianna wanted them to be cats and she’s missed so many Halloweens with her. Gabi feels now that she’s out of work, she’s making up for lost time. Gabi comments that Arianna will be a teenager soon and won’t want anything to do with her. Li remarks that he cannot imagine anyone wanting nothing to do with her. Gabi asks what about Stefan.

Chloe admits that she did want to see Stefan but it didn’t seem fair since she’s not the greatest company these days. Stefan says he’ll be the judge of that. Chloe brings up Stefan saying he was madly in love with her. Chloe thinks Stefan wants a girlfriend while she just wants pretend trips, so it didn’t seem fair to let him think it was something else. Stefan tells her not to worry about being fair as he enjoys spending time with her. Stefan knows she won’t get over Brady in a day and says it wasn’t cool how he dumped her. Chloe says she understands that Rachel hates her and Brady is really worried about her. Stefan feels it still doesn’t excuse how he treated her. Chloe gets that Brady is under pressure but doesn’t understand letting Kristen move in to John and Marlena’s. Chloe apologizes for talking about Stefan’s sister. Stefan acknowledges that Kristen is not popular. Chloe repeats that moving Kristen in to the house makes no sense and calls it so absurd. Chloe says she didn’t come to unload all her problems on him but Stefan says that’s what he’s here for. Stefan offers Chloe breakfast. Chloe says she’s late for work but Stefan convinces her to stay for 30 minutes and adds that they can pretend they are on Miami Beach.

Kristen tells Marlena that she’s always been mystified by Chloe’s ability to garner sympathy. Rachel returns with jelly for Marlena’s pancakes. Rachel asks if they were fighting. Kristen says no and that they were just waiting for King Brady. Kristen wonders where Brady and John are.

Brady tells John that he trusts him more than anyone on the planet and he knows this must be hard for him. John argues that he knows Brady is just handing him a cover story. Brady repeats to John that he’s doing what he thinks is best for his family and he’s doing it the way John would do it. Brady asks John to trust him. John asks if he’s sure there is nothing he can do to help him. Kristen comes in and interrupts them, questioning them being in her room, going through her things, and talking about her. John responds that it’s his house and Brady is his son, so he can talk to him when and where he wants to about anything he wants to. John then exits the room. Kristen tells Brady that this is only day one so she hopes John won’t crack under pressure. Brady assures that he won’t and neither will Marlena. Kristen says not to expect her to because she can take whatever they dish out. Brady asks if she’s given one ounce of thought about the environment she’s created for Rachel. Kristen complains about Brady so he tells her to move out. Kristen accuses Brady of invading her privacy and says she may be many things but not stupid. Kristen reminds Brady that her hold over him is that she has the serum to help Marlena. Kristen says if Brady had the serum, she would not have hold of him, so it’s not in her underwear drawer or under the floor boards. Kristen declares that the serum is some place where he will never find it and he is under her thumb.

Li acknowledges that Stefan hurt Gabi but says any man who doesn’t want to be with her is a damn fool. Gabi says it’s just the way that Stefan hates her and how it’s different from when they first met. Gabi says they used to fight but had an underlying connection and now he looks at her like she makes him sick. Gabi adds that’s why she knew Dr. Rolf had to have done something but she talked to Rolf and found out it wasn’t true. Li reminds Gabi that Stefan’s attitude towards her makes moving on easier because the Stefan that she knew and loved is gone, but he’s here and swears that the way he feels about her will never change. Gabi says she feels the same about Li and will concentrate on him. Gabi swears to forget about Stefan as she kisses Li.

Stefan and Chloe have breakfast together until Chloe gets a call from Nicole. Chloe tells her that she’s on her way. Nicole apologizes and says she needs a big favor. Nicole asks Chloe to take Holly to the Horton Town Scare because she promised they would go but something came up. Chloe says she’d love to so Nicole asks her to pick Holly up from the office. Chloe says she’ll be right there and hangs up. Chloe tells Stefan that it must be her lucky day as first she gets breakfast with him and now gets to take Holly trick or treating. Stefan offers to go with her.

John brings Rachel her favorite stuffed animal. Rachel goes to get John some orange juice. Marlena asks if everything is okay. John doesn’t think so and asks if she does.

Kristen tells Brady that she’s not angry with him which Brady laughs at. Kristen says she expected him to go searching for the serum but reiterates that he’s not going to find it. Kristen asks Brady to accept what he cannot change. Brady points out that she never does. Kristen thinks the three of them need serenity. Kristen declares that what they wanted is in their grasp and asks Brady to stop fighting it. Kristen reminds Brady that not long ago, he wanted them to be a family and now they are. Brady disagrees and says she’ll always be Rachel’s mother but what they had is gone. Brady tells Kristen that using three human beings to blackmail him is not a family. Kristen asks if Brady wants power over her and to bring her to her knees. Kristen sits on the bed and suggests this could be the time and place to do just that. Brady tells her no, not here, now or ever. Kristen says she wouldn’t count on that, remarking that there is a thin line between love and hate. Kristen reminds Brady that he used to love her. Brady argues that she’s not the woman he used to love because the Kristen he loved would never humiliate herself by trying to blackmail someone in to sleeping with her. Brady concedes that she has all the power and can make him do whatever she wants, but she can’t change how he feels and what he feels for her is contempt. Brady then walks out of the room. Kristen remarks that Brady is not going to win this one.

Stefan tells Chloe that he and Holly are like old friends and used to hang out all the time when she lived in the mansion. Chloe admits that Holly always liked him. Stefan decides the three of them will go together then. Chloe points out that they don’t have costumes, but Stefan says they do.

Gabi apologizes to Li for continuing to talk about Stefan. Li understands that her husband came back from the dead so she’s going to talk about him. Gabi admits that she’s having a hard time accepting that Stefan hates her and that’s why she was sure that Dr. Rolf did something to him but she knows that’s not true. Gabi feels like when Stefan died, so did his love for her. Gabi knows it’s over and they signed the divorce papers. Gabi thanks God that she has Li. Li responds that she always will. Gabi kisses him and says she has to get going to pick up Arianna from the Kiriakis Mansion. Li offers to go with her. Gabi says it’s for the kids and corny so she thinks he would hate it. Li thinks it sounds like a really good way for he and Arianna to get to know each other better. Gabi asks if he doesn’t have to go to work. Li says he can take the morning off, but he doesn’t have a costume. Gabi points out that she and Arianna are both cats, but Arianna doesn’t want to wear her cat ears because she says it messes up her hair, so she puts the ears on Li and they kiss.

Kristen rejoins Rachel in the living room and wonders what’s taking Brady so long. Rachel offers to go get him but Kristen decides to give him another five minutes. Kristen invites Marlena and John to come with them which Rachel agrees with. Marlena points out that they don’t have costumes. Kristen asks about Marlena’s Devil costume from last year and suggests John could find a collar around here. Kristen asks if it’s too soon. John says they will pass so Kristen says maybe next year. Brady then comes in dressed as a King. Brady, Kristen, and Rachel then exit together. John tells Marlena that this is a nightmare. Marlena points out that Rachel is having a good time. John says that helps some but Brady refuses to tell him what’s going on here. Marlena admits she’s baffled as she can’t figure out why Brady brought Kristen to stay with them.

Nicole finishes a call and tells Eric that they loved their proofs but the problem is, they want more photos now so they are sending over more clothes. Eric thinks that’s good news but Nicole says there’s more as they want her to do that shoot too. Eric isn’t seeing why this is bad news. Nicole says she wanted to spend time with Holly. Eric points out that Holly seemed pretty happy to go with Chloe and Stefan. Eric suggests they zip through it and get Nicole there in time to catch up with them. Nicole doesn’t want Eric to rush through the photoshoot because they were crazy about his work and this could get his photography career started again. Eric declares that when Nicole is the model, everything just works better and faster and they work really well together.

Stefan and Chloe bring Holly to the town square, dressed in their beach outfits while Holly is dressed as a shark. Holly goes to the bakery to get a brownie. Chloe tells Stefan that Holly seems to remember everything they did together. Stefan jokes about introducing her to Metallica and the Fast and the Furious. Stefan states that when he’s with Chloe, it’s like he’s not a money-driven corporate warrior. Gabi and Li arrive with Arianna. Gabi remarks that she really didn’t expect to see Stefan here.

Eric sets up for the photoshoot and tells Nicole that he’s ready whenever she is. Nicole comes out in a red dress and asks where he wants her.

Holly and Arianna run off together to get popcorn. Li gets a call from his dad and steps away to take it while Chloe goes to help Holly with her costume, leaving Gabi and Stefan. Stefan tells Gabi that she doesn’t need to make small talk. Gabi agrees that they have absolutely nothing to say to each other.

Marlena tells John that he hasn’t said a word in 20 minutes. John responds that he’s just mulling over something that Brady said when he was pounding him about leaving Chloe and moving Kristen in. John informs her that Brady said he’s doing what he thinks is best for the people he loves, not for Rachel, but the people he loves. John thinks he knows why Brady was in Kristen’s room going through her things, because he was looking for that serum.

Brady and Kristen bring Rachel to the town square and she goes to join the kids in bobbing for apples. Kristen comments on missing doing these things together and asks Brady to meet her halfway for Rachel’s sake. Brady argues that none of what Kristen is doing is for Rachel’s sake. Kristen argues that Rachel has never been happier with everyone she loves under one roof. Kristen adds that she’s making a huge sacrifice by living with John and Marlena. Kristen then sees a kid cut in front of Rachel so she decides to go make him regret it. Brady remarks to himself that it won’t be as much as he regrets ever laying eyes on her. Brady then turns around and runs in to Chloe.

John tells Marlena that they know Dr. Rolf was always on the DiMera payroll, so he asks what if Kristen got the serum from Dr. Rolf and used it to blackmail Brady. Marlena argues that it doesn’t make sense because Brady would have left Kristen and gone back to Chloe as soon as they got better, but instead, he moved Kristen in. John wonders why Brady was in her room then. John declares that whatever is going on, Kristen is calling all the shots and Brady is doing whatever he can to try and change that.

Chloe and Brady greet one another. Brady comments on still not believing adults should wear Halloween costumes but he’s doing it for Rachel. Kristen comes back and comments that she saw Chloe arrive with Stefan and she knows he adores her. Chloe says she hopes Rachel has a happy Halloween and walks away while Kristen remarks that she will because she’s with her parents and is very happy that they are a family again. Chloe goes back over to Stefan. Gabi comments on Chloe being with Holly and questions if Nicole is okay.

Eric and Nicole go over her photos. Eric picks one and says she looks beautiful. Nicole then goes to change out of her dress.

Chloe informs Gabi that Nicole asked her to take Holly. Stefan adds that he volunteered to tag along. Gabi asks how Brady feels about that. Chloe clarifies that she and Brady are no longer together. Gabi acknowledges that’s why Brady is here with Kristen. Chloe points out that Brady is here mainly for Rachel. Gabi remarks on Stefan not wasting any time making his move. Chloe responds that Stefan and Holly are her friends. Gabi mocks the idea that Stefan came to hang out with Holly and storms off. Li follows Gabi and asks if she’s okay. Gabi claims she’s fine and is just surprised to see Chloe and Brady broke up because she saw them a few minutes ago and it looked like there was still a connection. Gabi goes to check on Arianna while Li complains to himself about there still being a connection between Gabi and Stefan. Chloe apologizes to Stefan about Gabi but Stefan assures that they just signed the divorce papers and it’s exactly what he wanted. Chloe knows it’s not easy as she has experience. Stefan hugs Chloe while Gabi looks on. Kristen comes over to Li and remarks that it looks like they both got what they wanted. Kristen then goes back to Brady while Gabi rejoins Li.

Alex argues that what’s happening here is between two consenting adults so it’s not a crime, while Stephanie just committed a felony by picking the lock which means she wasn’t expecting Sloan to be here. Alex asks Stephanie again what the hell she’s doing here.

Chad informs Sloan that Stephanie isn’t there because it allows her a certain plausible deniability. Sloan questions the sudden urge to make the deal. Chad says they got the funds together so they are anxious to get the deal done. Chad asks her to give him the materials and then he will give her what’s in the briefcase. Sloan questions who talked Paulina in to the deal since she seemed pretty dead set against it. Chad responds that he can be very persuasive. Chad tells Sloan to show hers and then he’ll show his. Sloan remarks that she’s starting to understand why they sent him to meet her.

Wendy questions Johnny’s sister dating his ex-wife. Johnny adds that Allie is his twin sister but they have different dads. Wendy can’t believe it but Johnny swears it’s the truth as they sit together. Johnny talks about he and Chanel hitting it off right away but then he found out Chanel and Allie were old friends that had kissed a few times but they were in other relationships at the time. Johnny tells Wendy about how he and Chanel flew to Italy and got married but then The Devil came along and ruined everything. Johnny adds that after a bunch more drama, he and Allie both wanted to be with Chanel but she chose Allie. Wendy understands that must have been really hard for him. Johnny admits that it was but says he’s really happy for them now.

Chanel questions what made Allie think she was upset. Allie reminds her that she said no when she asked if everything was okay and now she’s acting like she can’t remember why. Chanel then says she has to run an errand and will be right back. Allie questions Chanel leaving when Johnny is about to bring Wendy over. Chanel promises to be quick and hurries out of the apartment.

Abe informs Paulina that Leo was recently facing multiple felony charges. Paulina exclaims that she knew Leo looked familiar and remembers that he was arrested for the murder of Abigail DiMera and stabbing Sonny Kiriakis. Leo argues that he was totally exonerated while Abe says he’s hardly innocent. Abe brings up how Leo blackmailed Sonny in to marrying him and conned Craig Wesley in to becoming his husband so there’s a pattern here. Abe calls Leo a gold digger. Leo argues that he was but now he’ll be earning his own by working a legitimate job. Leo questions if he doesn’t deserve a second chance but Paulina does when she’s made mistakes. Leo brings up Lani bring in prison. Paulina decides she likes Leo’s spirit. Abe warns Paulina not to let Leo fool her. Paulina says she has a gut feeling about Leo and that almost always pays off. Paulina tells Leo not to make her regret hiring him. Leo assures that he looks forward to serving her and he will see her at 9 AM as he then exits the office. Abe picks up Leo’s donkey mask and tells Paulina that he can’t believe she hired this jackass.

Wendy tells Johnny that it’s a bummer how things ended for him with Chanel. Wendy asks if he’s seeing anyone else now. Johnny says no and admits he came close with someone he really cared about but then his dad forced her to leave town. Wendy asks if that’s something his dad does a lot because she was talking to Tripp earlier. Johnny is surprised to learn Wendy knows Tripp. Wendy explains that she met Tripp and Joey in Hong Kong last summer. Wendy informs Johnny that Tripp told her that EJ forced his mom out of town, but then realizes Tripp’s mother is who Johnny was interested in. Wendy points out that Ava’s old enough to be his mother but Johnny says so what. Johnny praises Ava as great, funny, smart, and beautiful. Wendy tells him that she’s sorry it ended. Johnny jokes that it wasn’t as humiliating as what happened with Chanel since he didn’t lose her to his sister.

Sonny goes to Allie’s and brings her a picture frame that Arianna made her in art class for her birthday. Allie asks how Will is. Sonny says he’s good but busy. Allie guesses Sonny misses him. Sonny admits he does a lot. Allie tells Sonny that he can always come over any time he’s bored or lonely even though it’s often dull around here. Sonny questions that and brings up them being friends with Alex. Sonny asks if Alex isn’t keeping things exciting.

Alex says if Stephanie’s not talking, he’ll have to ask Sloan when she gets home, why Stephanie broke in to her apartment. Stephanie tells him not to so Alex tells her to start talking. Stephanie then informs him that Sloan is blackmailing one of her clients and they have a file full of damaging materials and they want money. Alex questions who the client is but Stephanie says she can’t tell him. Alex guesses that it’s Paulina. Stephanie says it’s a dirty deal and Sloan is fronting it. Stephanie remarks that Alex has horrible taste in women. Alex points out that he used to be attracted to her and calls it her loss. Stephanie questions how it doesn’t bother him to be sleeping with a snake. Alex blows it off. Stephanie argues that Sloan has no conscience or soul and profits off greedy cowards. Alex reminds Stephanie that she broke in which is a crime and questions how she knew Sloan wouldn’t be home.

Chad tells Sloan that he’s ready to do this and questions if she’s not. Sloan says she is but she wasn’t sure she could trust him, so she didn’t bring all the materials he’s asking for but he can just go back to her place and get them. Chad tells her there’s no rush. Sloan thought he was ready to do this. Chad suggests they take advantage of Stephanie not being there and says instead of working against each other, they can work together. Sloan doesn’t know what he means. Chad offers to go to Stephanie and tell her they couldn’t make a deal and that Sloan doubled the price, so Paulina pays up and they split it. Sloan remarks that she thought Chad was the good DiMera. Chad responds that something very bad happened in his life recently and that changes the way you see the world. Chad removes a stack of bills from the briefcase and suggests they talk it over drinks. Leo interrupts and asks if Chad’s giving that way then says to count him in. Chad questions what Leo is doing here. Leo responds that he smelled money.

Johnny tells Wendy that Ava is a very special person and was going through a hard time while he was rebounding. Johnny says nothing happened but now he’ll never know if anything would have thanks to EJ. Wendy understands Johnny’s motivation to take EJ down and realizes this isn’t just about having Stefan’s back after what EJ and Li did to him. Johnny admits it’s personal for him but he wants to move through it all and move on to something or someone less complicated. Johnny then decides they should get going to Allie’s.

Allie tells Sonny that Alex can be a lot of fun and that she and Chanel really like him. Sonny questions them actually liking him. Allie explains that they ran in to him in the town square in the summer and they really hit it off. Allie mentions that they were thinking about hanging out tonight. Sonny asks what was on the agenda. Allie says they had no set plans and were just going to see where the night took them. Allie questions Sonny’s look. Sonny then asks Allie if she and Chanel had a threesome with Alex.

Alex questions why Stephanie doesn’t seem worried about Sloan catching her in the act. Stephanie informs him that she arranged for Sloan to be otherwise occupied. Alex realizes it was the phone call earlier and questions if Chad’s just coming through for her in all kinds of ways. Stephanie tells him not to go there again. Stephanie begins searching the apartment for the file that Sloan is using to blackmail her client or at least find the name of the person behind it so she can neutralize the threat. Alex reminds Stephanie that even if she finds something, she has another problem in him.

Chad tells Leo to move on as they are in the middle of something important. Leo complains about Sloan interrupting his business to remind him that he owes her money. Sloan points out that it was in the town square and he looked like a jackass in the outfit. Leo informs her that he was just promoted to a high level position in Paulina’s campaign. Sloan finds that hard to believe. Leo shows her his first pay check. Sloan takes it and decides she’ll keep it as his first down payment. Leo argues that he was about to head to the ATM with that. Sloan tells Leo that he has to pay up on his debts. Leo asks her to give him something to get by on, so Sloan takes a bill from Chad’s stack of fake bills and gives it to him. Chad asks Leo to please leave so they can get back to their discussion. Leo then identifies the money as fake, questions Sloan about it, and says to never trust a lawyer as he then walks out of the Pub. Sloan questions Chad about trust. Chad tries to tell her not to listen to Leo but Sloan says she’s never met anyone more obsessed with money than Leo, so if anyone knows a fake, it’s him. Sloan declares that she’s out of here. Chad stops her and says they can figure something out. Chad says he’s just the messenger. Sloan questions if Paulina sent him with a briefcase full of fake cash to pass along to her. Sloan says she doesn’t think so and now she knows why Chad has been working that charm. Chad declares that if she wants money, he’ll write her a check right now but Sloan says she no longer trusts him or his money. Sloan warns Chad to tell his boss that the deal gets made tomorrow or else Paulina’s daughter’s secret will go public. Sloan then walks out of the Pub. Chad texts Stephanie that Sloan is coming and tells her to get out now.

Paulina is glad that Abe came around on Leo. Abe says he wouldn’t go that far but he believes in second chances. Paulina calls Leo a breath of fresh air with the election getting so close. Abe encourages that Paulina is well on her way to victory. Paulina calls him the most supportive husband but she doesn’t know about him stepping down as mayor if she wins. Abe tells her that’s already settled. Paulina agrees not to argue and tells him how much she loves him as they kiss. Abe brings up that before Leo showed up, Paulina said she had something she wanted to tell him, but then Chanel arrives. Abe invites Chanel to join them for dinner. Chanel thanks them but says she hoped to talk with Paulina privately. Abe says he’ll see Paulina at home and exits with the food. Paulina asks if Chanel got her text. Chanel confirms that she did but not until after she told Allie there was something she needed to know. Chanel adds that she was about to tell her but someone interrupted them. Chanel worries that Allie knows something is up so she won’t let it go.

Sonny tells Allie that he’s just wondering with no judgment and she doesn’t have to tell him. Sonny talks about Alex being braggadocios so he wants to hear it from her.

Johnny brings Wendy to Allie’s apartment. Wendy admits she’s a little nervous. Johnny encourages that she’ll fit right in. Johnny then opens the door with Wendy, right as Allie reveals to Sonny that she and Chanel had a threesome with Alex.

Stephanie orders Alex not to say anything to Sloan. Alex questions why he should protect her. Stephanie finds a file cabinet and says she’ll be gone in two minutes, then Alex can go back to his fun and games and pretend he never saw her. Stephanie gets Chad’s text that Sloan is coming back. Alex remarks that he can’t wait to fill her in. Stephanie pleads with Alex. Alex argues that he doesn’t owe her anything. Stephanie points out that if this job blows up, so does her career. Alex questions why he should care. Stephanie responds that there’s a lot more at stake here than her PR firm or Paulina’s campaign. Stephanie begs Alex to have a heart and argues that he’s not that petty to bust her for not going out with him. Alex asks if she’s sure about that as Stephanie goes to hide in the back while Sloan returns home. Sloan asks Alex if anything interesting happened while she was gone.

Johnny remarks that he didn’t realize they were walking in on a game of truth or dare. Allie introduces herself and Sonny to Wendy. Wendy thanks her for agreeing to this as Allie informs Sonny that Wendy is going to be staying with them for a little while. Sonny decides he should get going. Johnny suggests Allie might have more fun facts to share as Sonny exits the apartment. Johnny jokes that now it’s just the “three” of them now and makes a menage joke. Allie tells Johnny to grow up while Wendy tells Allie not to let Johnny bust her chops. Wendy adds that she’s totally cool with what they overheard. Allie thanks Wendy and says it’s nice to have someone who isn’t being a jerk about this. Johnny claims that he was just having some fun with it while Wendy argues that Johnny was trying to embarrass Allie. Wendy adds that Johnny has some history that some people might be as snarky about as he’s being with Allie.

Chad remains at the Pub and worries about Stephanie not texting him back.

Stephanie remains hiding in Sloan’s apartment. Sloan tells Alex that she should’ve never left him as that was a big mistake. Alex informs her that something did happen while she was gone. Alex claims he was all by himself and getting so lonely as they then start kissing. Stephanie then comes out, mouths “thank you” to Alex as he nods to her and she sneaks out the door.

Sonny runs in to Leo in the town square. They talk about Sonny being on the mend from being stabbed. Leo informs Sonny that he is newly employed. Sonny questions someone in Salem actually giving him a job. Leo reveals that he was hired by Paulina Price as he is the new executive director of affairs. Sonny takes it as he is her assistant. Leo calls it an honor to work for the future Governor and suggests they go out and celebrate. Sonny suggests waiting until Paulina actually wins the election first. Leo remarks that there is no doubt.

Stephanie joins Chad at the Pub. Chad explains how Leo interrupted them and recognized the fake bills right away. Chad apologizes and says he never should’ve took the money out of the briefcase. Stephanie says it’s not his fault that Leo walked in. Chad asks what their next move is and worries that Sloan could be at the police station right now. Stephanie disagrees since if Sloan told them about the fake money, she’d have to tell them that she tried to blackmail them and she’s too smart for that. Chad worries that they are on a very tight deadline so he hopes Stephanie has better luck than he did, or Paulina and Chanel are going to pay the price.

Paulina tells Chanel how much she trusts Stephanie. Chanel worries that Paulina is putting a lot of faith in one person and questions if she can really handle this. Paulina states that Stephanie told her that by the end of the night, Sloan Peterson won’t be a problem for them anymore. Chanel asks if she’s heard from Stephanie. Paulina says not yet but promises that everything is under control and she doesn’t have to worry. Chanel worries about Allie because she’s been through enough and doesn’t need this. Paulina encourages that Allie loves her and will stand by her no matter what. Chanel asks if she’s chickening out by not telling Allie because part of her is scared that Allie won’t look at her the same. Paulina understands that Chanel is trying to protect Allie the same way that she’s trying to protect Abe. Paulina informs Chanel that Abe offered to step down as mayor if she wins and move to the capitol with her. Chanel calls that amazing. Paulina calls it the most selfless, loyal, and generous offer so she doesn’t want to drag him in to this. Chanel cries that the waiting is so hard. Paulina encourages that it will be over soon and then they’ll be in the clear as they hug.

Leo questions if Sonny is not on Paulina’s team. Sonny assures that he is, but he’s just waiting until after the election to celebrate. Leo suggests they celebrate his new job then. Leo tells Sonny to pick a night and he’ll take he and Will out to dinner because it’s time they put their differences aside. Sonny responds that Will isn’t here as he’s in LA for work. Leo says it will just be them then and it will be epic. Leo tells Sonny to text him some dates for next week. Leo tells Sonny to take care of himself and hugs him, saying he’s so glad he’s doing better. Leo says he’ll see him at their celebration and then walks away.

Chanel returns home where Allie introduces her to Wendy. Chanel encourages that Wendy will really love it here. Johnny decides his work here is done so he will leave them to get better acquainted. Chanel stops him and says she knows it’s late but she wanted to celebrate Johnny and Allie’s birthday together, so she got them a cake from the bakery. Chanel lights candles on the cake and has Johnny and Allie blow them out. Wendy asks what they wished for. Allie jokes that her wish didn’t come true because Johnny is still there.

Stephanie informs Chad about Alex being handcuffed to the bed and calls it quite a sight. Stephanie feels if she had a little more time she could’ve gotten in to the filing cabinet. Chad worries that now that Sloan is on high alert, they will never get back in to the apartment. Stephanie then points out that Alex totally could have busted her, but he didn’t. Stephanie then wonders if it’s possible but they get interrupted by Paulina calling. Stephanie tells Chad that she told Paulina that she would have this handled by tonight, so she wonders what to say to her now.

Alex and Sloan continue kissing in bed and talk about it being worth the wait.

Stephanie answers Paulina’s call and admits she should’ve called sooner. Paulina complains that Stephanie said she had a fool proof plan and that it would be handled by tonight. Paulina questions if she made a promise she couldn’t keep. Stephanie assures that she meant every word. Paulina wants action and asks where the file is. Stephanie responds that she’ll have it in her hands by tomorrow and she will stake her reputation and the future of her company on it. Paulina complains that her daughter’s future is also at stake and tells Stephanie not to let them down because they are counting on her. Stephanie hangs up and tells Chad that she just keeps digging herself deeper. Chad asks what Stephanie was going to say about Alex earlier. Stephanie repeats that Alex could have blown her out of the water but he didn’t. Stephanie says Alex is not modest so something else must be going on. Stephanie mentions how she told Alex that Sloan was a sleazy criminal so she wonders if Alex wasn’t just saving her in the moment, but maybe he’s on their side in this now.

Sloan frees Alex from the handcuffs as they continue kissing in her bed.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

, please tell me your journey about Leo. No, I hired him as my assistant. I’m the new Mary. No, no. Mary says in Florida. Hailing my real estate business. You’ll be here working for the campaign. Don’t get comfortable, babe. Why you being such a funny du about this? What’s wrong with my hiring, Leo? Where do I begin?

Pack your Thanks, Johnny. I, I spoke to my sister, Allie said that you’re more than welcome to stay with her and her girlfriend until you find some place more p. Oh my God, you’re my savior. And this is so unbelievably nice to them. Well, maybe as a thank you, you could, uh, use your hacking magic and double their wifi speed.

Yeah, I’ll totally do that. No, that was a joke. You don’t, there’s no cyber crime necessary. Hmm. We’ll see. Now when you say girlfriend, is that girlfriend as a roommate or they’re a couple. Yeah, they’re a couple. Oh, so your sister’s. Uh, actually she’s bi. They both are. Uh, oh. One other thing you should probably know.

My sister’s girlfriend used to be my wife.

What did you wanna tell me before?

Oh, honestly, um, I, I don’t even remember. So it must not have been that important, but you seemed really upset. How could you just not.

Did, uh, Stephanie send you alone? Please take a seat.

I don’t understand why she wouldn’t be here. This is a major deal. Well, I’ve handled plenty of major deals in my time. We’re gonna be, just find the two of us. Can I get you a drink? You’re quite the charmer, Mr. Damira. That is not lost. Neither is the fact that you still haven’t told me where your boss is.

Well, I’m waiting. What am I doing here? You first Stu? I.

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

Isn’t it, uh, obvious what I’m doing here? Looks like you’re doing it alone. Sloan have to run to a meeting. Were you expecting a sit here? Why else would I have come?

What? You’re okay with her just leaving you like this? What if you have to use the bathroom? Seems pretty inhumane. Wow. Seems a little judgmental. Just so you realize, Stephanie, what’s happening here is between two consenting adults, which means it’s not a crime. You, on the other hand, have just committed a felony.

Felony. Sloan had that door locked when she left and you picked it. Hmm, which means that you did not expect her to be here. Which also brings me back to my original question, Hey, what the hell are you doing here?

My boss isn’t here because it allows her a certain plausible deniability.

But why this is an urge to deal. Well, Stephanie told you we are waiting to get the funds together. Now we have. So we’re as anxious to get this deal done as you are. So why don’t you give me the materials and I will give you what is in this briefcase

who talked Ms. Price into this deal. She seemed pretty dead set. Well, I can be very persuasive.

Why don’t you show me yours and I’ll show you mine. Now I’m starting to understand why they sent you to meet me.

So your ex-wife is dating your sister? My twin sister. Her name is Ali Buck. We have different dads. Now you’re just messing with mouth. No, I, I swear I’m, I’m telling you the truth. Well, if it is, I don’t wanna stick my foot in my mouth. So, d you said Allie’s, girlfriend’s name is Chanel? Uh, yeah, Chanel Dupre.

She, um, she and I hit it off right off the bat, and then I found out that she and Allie were actually old pals, but at the time, there was nothing going on between. Uh, they kissed a couple times, but Chanel claimed she was over it and Allie was in a serious relationship at the time. So, you know, life went on.

Uh, they opened a bakery together. I started working on my first big film, Chanel and I flew to Italy and got married. Um, then the devil came along and just ruined everything. So, wait, what Devil sound? Metaphor. I wish. So anyway, uh, fast forward through a bunch more drama to Allie and I both wanting to be with Chanel.

We told her she had to make a choice and she chose Allie, the end. Johnny, that must have been really hard for you. It was. It was, um, Now I’m really happy for him. Chanel is, uh, one of a kind now. He’s a very lucky woman. What makes you think I was upset? I asked if everything was okay and you said no. And now you’re acting like you can’t remember why.

Shoot, what? Uh, I, I gotta run. Um, I have to run an errand. I will be right. You’re, you’re gonna leave Johnny’s about to run that girl over. I’ll be quick, I promise.

If you had vetted your new hire more closely, you would’ve found out that Mr. Stark was recently facing multiple felony charges. I know you looked familiar. You were arrested for the murder of Abigail Dara and stabbing Sonny Kakkis. Hello. I was totally exonerated that you were hardly innocent. You blackmailed Sonny in the marrying you.

You conned Craig Wesley into becoming your unlawfully weighted husband. So do you sense a pattern here? I have excellent taste in men. You are a gold digger. I was a gold digger. Now I’ll be earning my own gold working a legitimate job. Oh, so I don’t deserve a second chance. But your wife does. Are you seriously comparing yourself to Paulina?

She’s made mistakes like cooking up a secret plan to bulldoze the beloved town square. Should she be prohibited from running for office because of that? Should your daughter be shunned in perpetuity when she’s released from prison? I say he who is without sin, you know, however the rest of that line goes.

Amen. I like this young man’s. Don’t let him fool you. Have you ever known me to suffer fools? I had a feeling about Leo, a gut instinct, and when I trust that, it almost always pays off. So I’m still hired. Do not make me regret it. Never. You will count your lucky stars, as do I that our paths have crossed Ms.

Price. I look forward to serving your fabulousness tomorrow morning. 10:00 AM sharp. Well then you’ll be an hour late since we start at nine around here. Nine. It is. Yay. You. So exciting.

You know, no disrespect intended, but I know you, you want to give people a second chance, but, but I can’t believe you hired this jackass. Such a bummer how things ended with Chanel.

So, are you seeing anyone else down? No, no. I, uh, did come close with someone who I, who I really cared about, but then, uh, then my dad forced her to leave town. Is that something your dad does a lot, act like a total jerk? Yeah. All, all the time? No, no. I mean, make people leave. Because I was talking to Trip earlier and he said that, wait, you know Trip?

Yeah. I met him and his brother Joey in Hong Kong half summer. Huh. Anyway, when I talked to him earlier, he said that your dad drove his mom out of town.

Wait his, is this the same person we’re talking about Trip’s? Mother is the one that you were interested. But isn’t she old enough to be your mother? Yeah. Yeah. So what? I mean, a Ava was great, you know, she’s funny, smart, beautiful, right? Yeah. Oh, I’m sorry. It ended. Yeah, me too. But I mean, at least it wasn’t as humiliating as what happened with Chanel, meaning, Meaning I didn’t lose her to my sister.

Sunny. Hi. Hi. Hi. Hey, I thought you were still, um, at home recovering. Yeah, I’m just getting a little better every day. Oh, well come on. That’s so great to hear. Um, so what brings you by right. Um, so Will reminded me that Ari made you something in our class. I know it’s. It’s a couple days late, but happy birthday.

Oh my God, I love it. Stop. This is so cute. . Well, please tell her thank you for me. How is my brother, by the way? I owe him a call. I, he’s good. You know? Busy. Yeah. Yeah. Bet you miss him, huh? Yeah. Well, well, you know, if you’re ever lonely or bored, you can always come over, although it’s pretty, pretty dill around here most nights.

Really? Um, cuz I heard, um, that you guys are friends with my brother Alex. He’s not keeping things exciting. Not talking fine. I guess I’ll just have to ask Sloan, when she gets home, why you broke into her place. Don’t. Then answer me. All right. Sloan is blackmailing one of my clients. She represents someone, I don’t know who, but they have a file full of damaging materials and they want money in exchange for silence.

And who’s your client? I can’t tell you that. Well, it’s obviously not me, so it has to be some high profile client who’s rich, has a lot to lose,

like a governor’s race, like polling a price. All I will say is it’s a dirty deal and Sloan is the one fronting it. My God, you have horrible taste in women. I used to be attracted to you. How did I ever pass at my chance with you? Only I’d known what a kink Myer you were. Mm-hmm. . You’re lost. Seriously. Alex, how does this not bother you?

You’re sleeping with a snake. Come on, whatever. Whenever this woman has no conscience, no. Jesus represents scum like Leo Stark. She profits off of greedy cowards who dig through people’s paths and then threaten to destroy them if they don’t pay up. That is a crime. Okay. You just broke into this place, Stephanie, and as I pointed out to you earlier, that is a crime.

So I do have one other question about your little breaking and entering routine. How did you know that Sloan wasn’t gonna be home?

I’m ready to do this if you. No, no, I am, I just, I just didn’t know if I could trust you, so I didn’t bring all the materials you were asking for, but I can just go back to the house and get them Well there. There’s no rush. You just said you were ready to do this. Well, as you said, my boss isn’t here, so why don’t we take advantage of that?

I’m sorry. Well, instead of working against each other, why don’t you and I find a way to work together? I don’t quite know what you. I could go to Stephanie and tell her I couldn’t make a deal. And since we couldn’t settle right away, you doubled your price. Paulina pays up and you and I split the surcharge right down the middle.

I thought you were the good damira. Yeah. Well, something very bad happened in my life recently, and that changed the way you see the. So

why don’t we grab a drink and talk about the specifics. Are you giving that away? Count me in baby Leo. What are you doing here? I smelled money next to your cologne. It’s the sweetest smell I know.

You know, Ava is a, uh, she’s, she’s a very special person. She was going through a hard time. I was rebounding. Nothing happened though, and uh, I’ll never know if anything would have thanks to my dad. No wonder you’re so motivated to take him down. I realize. This isn’t just about having your Uncle Stephan’s back after what your father and brother did to him.

You’re right. It’s more than that. It’s personal for me, but honestly, I, I just, I wanna move through it, all of it and move on to something or some less complicated.

Uh, anyway, uh, we should probably get going to my sisters. It’s, it’s getting late, right?

Uh, yeah. Your brother can be a lot of fun. Chanel and I really like him. You and Chanel actually like Alex. Yeah, we ran into him over the summer in the square. The three of us really hit it off. We were actually just talking about having him overnight, seeing he wanted to hang. Oh, wow. Spicy. What was, uh, on the agenda?

Uh, I don’t know. No set plans. We were just going to see where the night took us.

Are you looking at me like that? Ah, okay. Um, I am just wondering. Okay.

Did you and Chanel and Alex? Um, I’m just curious, uh, did you guys okay, did you guys have a threesome with my brother?

You don’t seem too worried about Sloane catching you in the act. Why is that? I have arranged for her to be otherwise. So that phone call earlier that was from you where she’s just hanging out with Chad now. He’s just coming through for you in all kinds of ways, huh? Okay. Let’s not go there again. Okay.

Okay. Fair. Oh wow. What are you doing? Aren’t you embarrassed? Nope. Wow. Where you going? What are you going? Looking for the file that Sloan is using to blackmail my client. If I can’t find that, maybe I can at least find the name of the person who hired her and then I can neutralize a threat. Well, sweetheart, I thank you’re forgetting that even if you do find something, you still got another problem.

What’s that? Me?

Could you please move it along? We’re in the middle of something very important. Oh, I’m so sorry for the interruption. It’s just that Ms. Peterson was so pleasant when she came to my place of business to remind me that I owe her money. Oh, it was town square and you were passing out free cookies. And you looked like a complete idiot in that jackass outfit.

It was donkey and I’ll have, you know, I was promoted to a high level position in the price gubernatorial campaign. I find that very hard to believe. Oh yeah, this is my first paycheck. Oh, let me just, oh, goodie. And it’s already endorsed. I’ll just take that as a down payment. Hey, I was just about to head to the ATM with that.

You gotta pay up on your deadly. You don’t want that collection agency I told you about coming after. Well at least gimme a little something to get by on. A boy’s. Gotta eat.

Mel. Watch. Obliged.

Wait a minute. Leo, can you please leave? Sloan, I would really like to get back to our discussion. Oh, your discussion about what to do with all this fake. Excuse me. Listen lady, I don’t know what you’re doing with these fake bills, but I could have gotten in real trouble if I tried to use this somewhere.

Never trust a lawyer. Speaking of trust,

Don’t listen to Leo. He doesn’t know what the hell he is talking about. I’ve never met anyone who’s more obsessed with money. If anyone knows a fake, when he sees it, it’s him. I’m out of here. Hey, so listen. They just, please don’t go. We, we can figure something out. I remember, I’m, I’m just a messenger. If you wanna tell me that Paulina Price sent you with a briefcase full of phony cash to pass along to me.

No, I don’t think so. Since the moment I came in, you’ve been working that charm and now I know why you want money. Hmm. Real money. I’ll write you a check right now after what you just pulled. I don’t trust you or your check. You can tell your boss that the deal gets done. Otherwise her daughter’s secret is gonna go public.

Very stuff. Marie, I’m so glad you came around on. I wouldn’t go that far , but I do believe in second chance. Like a breath of fresh air. We need that around here. An infusion of energy that carries down the home stretch. That election is getting so close. Mm. Well, you know, if the polls are any indication, you are well on your way to victory.

Mm. And you are the most supportive husband anybody could ask for, although you are stepping down as mayor. If I win, not aim, I a, I don’t know. You know, that’s already been settled, so why don’t we just, just stop arguing with me about it. Okay? Okay. No more arguments. I’ll just. Express my gratitude and tell you how much I love you.

Oh, well, you know what, , I love you too.

You know, um, well, I hate to mention this, but uh, before Leo showed up, he said you had something that you won’t tell me. What is Mama? Oh, hey Heidi. Hi, Chanel. Come on in. Well, Chanel, it’s great to see you. Hey, you know what? Your mother and I were just going to have dinner. You wanna join us? Mm-hmm. , Abe got some takeout from Julie’s place.

Oh, uh, thanks. But I was actually hoping that we could talk privately. Oh, uh, sure. You know, I’m going to keep this all very morph, . Okay. I’ll see you at home. All right. You will. All right, Madea.

Did you get my texts? Yes, but not until after I told Allie there was something she needed to know. Did you tell her about the black man? I was about to, but then someone interrupted us. But she knows some things. I don’t think she’s gonna let it go.

And, and, and like I said, like I’m totally just wondering, there’s no judgment here at all. And if you don’t wanna tell me, you don’t have to. But I mean, if you, if you, if you wanna tell me, please tell me, because, you know, um, Alex just kind of, you know, he’s a. A braggadocious, dude, so I just, I want to hear from the horse’s mouth.

I’m not calling you a horse, but I just, I cut me off whenever you want to.

Okay. I’m a little nervous. Don’t be all. And Chanel are great. Youre. Since you asked, I will tell you yes. Janelle and I had a threesome with your brother. What?

You’re not going to say anything just long. Why not? Why should I protect you? Bingo. I asked you a question. The file has to be in here. Two minutes I will be gone, and then you can go back to your fun games and pretend you never saw me

crap. Sloan’s on her way back. She could be here any minute. Oh, great. I can’t wait to fill her in.

Please, please, why keep my mouth shut? Forget about it. I don’t owe you anything, babe. I know,

but if this job blows up, so does my career and I should care because, because there is a lot more at stake here than SJR or Pauls campaign. I am begging you, Alex. Have a heart. Okay. You wouldn’t bust me just because I refuse to go out with you, would you? You’re not that petty. Sure about that.

Oh, I’m back. Oh. Anything interesting happened while I was gone.

Didn’t realize we were walking in on a game of truth or dare. Hi, you must be Johnny’s friend. I’m Allie, and then this is my brother-in-law. Sunny, I’m Wendy. It’s so nice to meet you. Thank you for agreeing to this. Yeah, no, of course, of course. Um, Wendy’s gonna stay with us for a little while. Oh, great.

Okay. Well, I should get going. Well, you sure? I mean, maybe Allie’s got some other fun facts you’d like to share with us, that it could be fun.

Well, I guess it’s just the three of us now. Yeah. Guess. God, my, my back’s been hurting a little bit lately. Is there a place around here I could get a good mage? Oh, massage. Sorry. I meant to say massage. Grow up, grow up, and don’t let him bust your chop. So for what it’s worth, I’m totally cool with it, what we overheard.

Thank you Wendy. It is very nice to have here. Who’s not being a jerk about this, like my brother. I was just having some fun with you. Okay? Uh, no you. You are trying to embarrass her, which is not so smart. Considering, considering what? Oh, come on. Isn’t it obvious you’ve got some history too, Johnny, that some people might be just as snarky and doll mannered about as you’re being with your sister?

Damn it, Stephanie, why aren’t you texting me back?

Should have never left you. Big mistake will let that happen again. Something did happen while you were gone. Oh. It was all by myself. Oh, I was getting so lonely. Oh dear.

Oh, look who it is and look at you. Why Jackson Cus it’s almost as if you weren’t stabbed by someone who turned out not to be. Yeah, I’m uh, definitely on the man I can tell. And I have some good news on my own to share. Oh yeah. I am newly employed, so you can tell that smoking hot brother of yours, I don’t need a job from him anymore.

Well, not that kind of job anyway. Someone in Salem actually gave you a job. Yes. Mr. Snarky Pants. I was hired by none other than Paulina Price. You are looking at the new executive director of Candidate affairs. That woman doesn’t so much just make a phone call without consulting me first. Oh, so you’re her assistant.

All I can say is that it is a huge honor to work for the future governor of this fine state. In fact, you and I should go out and celebrate since I can tell how thrilled you are for me. Yes, I am very thrilled for you, Leo. But in terms of celebrating, how about we wait until she actually wins the election first?

Oh, please. Like there’s any doubt. Leo Stark, the guy accused of murdering Abigail, he’s the one, Sloan, represented him. So as soon as he spotted us, he. And recognize the counterfeit money right away. Guess it’s one of the skills you require being a lifelong grifter. I’m sorry, Steph. I should have never took the bills outta the briefcase.

No, it’s not your fault. Leo walked in. So what’s our next move, Ms. Sloan’s probably at the police station right now riding this out. I don’t think so. And if she tells the cops that we tried to pass her fake money, then she’d also have to tell them that she was blackmailing us and she’s too smart for that.

Either way, we are in a very tight deadline, so I hope you had better luck than I did, or Paulina and Chanel are gonna pay the.

Honey, I implicitly trust Stephanie Johnson to But Mama, it seems like you’re putting a lot of faith in one person. Do you really think she can handle this? She told me and I quote, by the end of the night, Sloane Peterson won’t be a problem for you as Chanel. So, have you heard from her? No, not yet. But as I said in my text, everything’s under control.

You don’t have to worry, baby. I promise you. I’m not just worried about what’s gonna happen to me. I’m also worried about Allie. She’s been through enough. She doesn’t need this. She doesn’t need it. Oh, honey loves you. Yes, she’ll stand by you no matter what.

Chickening out because I, I don’t wanna tell her. Part of me is scared that she’ll never look at me the same. No, you’re not chickening out. You’re trying to protect her the same way I’m trying to protect Abe. Do you know what that meant to, he offered to step down as mayor, if I win to move to the capital with me and to fully embrace his role as the first gentle.

Wow, that, that is amazing. It truly is. That man on my husband, he, he made the most selfless, generous, loyal gesture. And I just wanna reciprocate by not dragging him into this. Yeah. It’s just so the waiting, it’s just so hard. No baby. I know. It’ll be over soon. Now we just gotta, we gotta hang in there and then we’ll be in the clear.

Okay.

Whoa. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait, wait. Are you not team price? No, I am. I’m just, you know, waiting to celebrate after she wins the election. Oh, okay. Well then let’s celebrate something else. Like what? Me getting this fabulous new job, pick a night, I’ll take you and will me out to dinner. It’s time we put our differences aside.

Well, Will’s not here. He’s in LA for work. Well then it’ll just be the two of us. Then should be epic. Text me some dates. Okay. Any night next week, but Thursday I’m having cupping therapy on Thursday during the day, so I’m gonna be very fluffy at night. Right. Got it. Do take care of your adorable self.

Jackson. K. So glad you’re better. I’ll see you at our celebration.

Hey, everybody. Hi. You’re back. Hey, is this our new guest? Yes. Uh, Wendy. This is Chanel. Hi, Wendy. Welcome. Thank you. I, I can’t tell you how much I appreciate this. Oh, our pleasure. Um, you’re gonna really love it here. We’re pretty chill, chilling. Yeah. Most of, most of the time. What does that mean? Ignore. Well, uh, my work here is done.

Ladies, I will leave you all to get better. Acquainted. Oh, Johnny, wait. So I know that it is a little late, but I wanted to celebrate your guys’ birthday together. Oh, to breathe That is, uh, that’s really nice. . I, um, knew that Johnny was coming by tonight, so I, uh, I went and I got this from the bakery.

I this

All right,

you go. And All right. Make a wish. You too, right? Ready? Yep.

Holly, what’d you wish for? Oh, it didn’t come true. He’s still here.

Hmm. Alex Kerrys was handcuffs to the bed. It was quite a sight, but if I had just a little more time, I could have gotten into that filing. Well now that loan’s on high alert, we’re never gonna get back into the apartment.

What are you thinking? Alex? Totally could have busted me, but he didn’t. Is it possible? Is what possible?

It’s Paulina. I told her I would have this handled by tonight. What am I gonna say to her now?

I’d say that is worth the weight, wouldn’t you? No questions, but my arm is starting to fall asleep. I think I’m losing feeling. Mm-hmm. . Okay. I’ll set you three. Mm. It’ll cost you. I’m good for it. Mm-hmm.

uh,

better much.

Hmm.

You’re right. I should have called. When we spoke earlier, you said you had a full proof plan and that our problem would be solved by the end of the night. Now, did you make me a promise you can’t keep? Absolutely not. I meant every word. I’m hearing a lot of words. Ms. Johnson. What I’m waiting for is the action.

Where’s the file? You’ll have it in your hands by tomorrow. Why? Better? I will stake my reputation in the future of my company on it. It’s not just your future. It’s my. And I was just with Chanel and she’s counting on you as much as I am. Do not let us down.

I just keep digging myself deeper. You were gonna say something about Alex before, what was it? Yeah. Um, earlier at Sloan’s Place Heat. He could have, he could have blown me outta the water, but he didn’t. Okay. Well, maybe he wanted to wait until he got his clothes back. Alex isn’t modest or patient, I think something else could be going on.

Like what? Well, without disclosing any details, I made it very clear that the woman he’s sleeping with is not only sleazy and shameless, but she’s a criminal. So I wonder, wonder why, if, if he wasn’t just saving me the moment, if. He’s on our side in this now.

Oh, oh, final. How’s your arm? Most better. There’s some other parts of me that could really use your attention. Mm-hmm. , you’re sick. Um,

Don’t peek. I won’t. I I won’t. Wait a minute. Something smells really good. Okay. You can live now. I can. Oh my goodness. Look at you. I’m a princess. You are a princess. Oh my goodness. Yes. These look spectacular little princess. They’re pumpkin. I made them from scratch. Oh, did you? Hello everyone. Mommy, you look great.

She’s a queen. Yes, I know. And daddy’s going to be a king, which makes us the royal family. Can grandma be a part of the royal family?

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 Try not to worry. Ms. Price. Try not to worry. This is my daughter’s life we’re talking about. Not to mention my bid for governor. I know it’s at stake, believe me, but you can trust me. I’ve got this all under control. You better mean that I do. I’ve come up with a foolproof strategy and I’m just about to fill my associate in, so I better hang up the phone.

But Paulina, I promise you Sloane Peterson will not be a problem for you or Chanel anymore.

So what’s this foolproof plan that, uh, that we have? Beats the hell outta me.

Holly was waiting for us in the driveway. I didn’t hear your key in the lock up girl. It was so cute. Henry started bouncing in his car seat as soon as he saw her. Who? Holly. Yeah, I, I think it’s really great that Nicole decided to make the sleepovers a weekly thing. Yeah. And it’s just nice because now one night a week, you and I will have a night to ourselves.

So what do you wanna do tonight? Well, maybe we could call Alex.

No. Will I get it? And of course you should stay and do your job, but I was just, I was really looking forward to seeing you.

No, look, no, I, I know, I, I just, what about next weekend?

Okay, I’ll just try I guess, but I love you.

Bye. The hell did, will do now. Nothing. Um, he was just, Supposed to come for a little visit, but he’s stuck in LA doing rites. Ah, that sucks. Hey, do you want, do you wanna stay in tonight? Like hang out? We could order, uh, food Watch, American Ninja Warrior on peak talk. Oh, I’m sorry brother. That sounds great.

But I actually have plans. Plans. What kind of plans? Well, you may not be getting lucky. Tonight’s sunny boy, fresh as I am. I.

Oh crap. Turf. Um, are these free? Uh,

not so fast. You’ll be jackass. Take off that mask. Take off my maer. I’m gonna start screaming my head off for the cops.

You are so busted, Mr.

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

You really wanna call Alex? Yeah, why not? Well, I just thought that we agreed that the threesome was not gonna be a regular thing we did. Yeah. No, I just, I just thought maybe the three of us could grab drinks. Oh, okay. I guess, Dre, Hey, you and I, we are 1000% on the same page about hooking up with Alex. It was a one time.

I just figured that the sooner the three of us go back to hanging out the less awkward it will be. . Oh yeah. Right. That, that makes a lot of sense. Yeah. Um, but can we do it another night? I just, um, I’m not really in the mood to go out tonight. Is everything okay

No, it’s not.

So what you, just back to being a player. You are the one who told me I need to get over Stephanie and move on. Okay. Since when, need to take my advice. All since I found out that Stephanie is not just not interested in me, she’s caught up on somebody else. Who? Your pal. Chad Damara. So when you told Pauline that we had this handle, you were just blowing.

I was up all night trying to figure out some way to neutralize Peterson and I kept coming up empty. Right. Well, she’s not the most ethical lawyer, so why don’t we just hire her PI and try to dig up some dirt on her. That would take too long. Paulina wants this handled Yesterday you saw Paulina’s copies of what she has on Chanel.

If we could just get our hands on the originals, right? Well, that’s gonna be complic. There. There always, there’s always the option of just paying off Sloan’s client, whoever here she is. Pauline is touting herself as the ethical candidate. She’s not about to be a party to extortion. She also thinks, and I agree with her, that Sloan’s client is just going to keep demanding more.

Okay. Well I never said that Pauline had to be the one to pay it. Well, where else are we going to get the money? Me. How did you know it was me? My PI told me that you were hiding in plain sight dressed as a mule. I thought I was kidding. Sadly, I was wrong. First of all, it’s not a mule, it’s a donkey. And second, I’m not hiding.

I’m working for a polling enterprises campaign committee. Somebody in this town actually gave you a job. I’ll have, you know, I have a very impressive resume. Leo, I have told you and told you a resume and rap sheet are two very different things and I have told you and told you that you are very rude. You know what?

Enough of the chit. I want the money you owe me now,

unless you don’t mind playing a very unpleasant game. A pen. The tail on the donkey.

You can relax. Chanel darling darling. Our problem is going to be all taken care of. Everything’s looking. Oh yes.

Wow. What are you so happy about? ? Oh my you you said my polling numbers would go up and they did. Oh well you know that is wonderful. But don’t you let your guard down cuz the other side, they are going to come after you with attack hats. . I’m tough. No, I agree with that, but I do know from experience that those ask can get really personal and they’re gonna come after the fact that Lonnie’s in prison.

Well, they do that. I will drive myself over to Tim’s office and ring his corny ass net. That’s one thing to go after me, but nobody messes with my daughters.

Hey, Dupre talk. You know, you can tell me.

Yeah. Yeah, I can. Um, I’ll get it.

Hey, great. You guys are home. I, I really need a favor from you guys.

I’m telling you, there’s no way that Chad is interested in someone else. It hasn’t even been that long since Abigail died, and he was madly in love with her. Yeah, well, I just saw him with Stephanie. They didn’t even notice me because they only had eyes for each other. There’s no way that Chad would, and they denied it when I asked them if they were hooking.

I’m sorry you asked them if they were hooking you. I know Sonny. I know. Not my finest hour. Look, even if Stephanie isn’t with Chad, it’s clear that she doesn’t want any part of me. So what, you’re just back to being a player. Mm. You were the one who warned me that one day somebody would come into my life and make me wanna change my ways.

And guess what? It happened. Her name is Stephanie Johnson. Only hitch. She wants no part. So now I’m going to soothe my broken heart with as much meaningless sex as possible.

I would never ask you to use your own money to solve a client’s problem. You didn’t ask. I offered Sloan’s client wants a seven figure payoff. Okay. Used to pay off million dollar extortion attempts. Mr. Rockefeller? No, but I do have a trust fund and you’re the one that told Paul Anna you’d have this handle by tomorrow morning.

Okay. I’m only gonna say this one more time. I will not allow you to use your personal funds to get me out of a jam with a client. Our client, our client, we this together. That’s what you said. Besides that worst things I could do with that money that help out the future, governor of our. And I could use Pauline on my side.

Well, what if the wrong person finds out? People will say that I used my company to help a Damara get a governor in his pocket. Yeah, I didn’t think of that. I was just thought throwing money at the problem helps

upon further reflection. You could be right. You good? Yeah. We’re gonna give greedy Sloan Peterson, the payday she’s been looking for.

Don’t play with me stark. I defended you successfully against some serious charges. Now it’s time to pay up. When you took my case, you said something about the free publicity being payment enough. I wouldn’t say that if I was dead drunk. If you don’t cut me a check, that doesn’t bounce. I’m gonna send you to a collection agency and the one I use doesn’t take no for an answer.

Do we understand each other now?

Johnny, you really need to start calling before you just come over. Chanelle and I, were in the middle of something, Allie. It’s okay. Our conversation will keep until later. So, um, Johnny, what’s up? Last I heard you were moving into the mansion with Ava. Yeah, yeah, I did. Uh, I did move back home. Mm-hmm. . And what about Ava?

She had to leave town. Without saying goodbye to Henry, he’s her grandson. Well, she had to make a quick getaway. My dad was about to have her arrested.

You are threatening me with bodily harm, and that is against the law. I can make a citizen’s arrest. You’re absolutely right, and I am so sorry that you misconstrued what I was saying. Oh, please see, as an officer of the court, I would never stoop so low as to threaten a client with bodily harm, even one who is in serious areas.

So sue me, wouldn’t it be the first time I am getting really fed up here? Well, look, you cannot get blood from a turn up honey. And I am seriously strapped. Why else would I agree to take a minimum wage job dressed up as a beast of burden? Your kinks are your problem. You owe me in one way or another. I always get my man.

And by the way, you bet on the wrong horse, donkey talk English. There’s no way that Paulina Price will ever be moving in to the governor’s mansion? Not now, not tomorrow. Not ever. And how do you know that? I saw in the news that she’s pulling ahead in the polls. So what all it takes is one dirty scandal and Miss Price’s political career will be over faster than your little romance with that ZA doctor.

Yeah. Odd girls. They’re so lucky to have a mama. As fierce as you are about them, you really think that I really do because they both say I really get on their nerves with that . But uh, I just love them so much. Oh, and they love you back just like I do. Not to mention how proud I am. That you’ve decided that you, you want to be of service to the people of this state, which is why I have, uh, why, why, what I have made an important decision.

Oh. Oh, that sounds ominous. No, it’s all good. At least, uh, I hope you’ll think so. Well, we, we won’t know what it is until you tell me what it is you. Right, right. Yes. Well, if you’re elected governor, I will resign as mayor and move to the capital with you.

Look, I just, I don’t think you should give up on finding the, I have met the one Sonny. Her name is Stephanie. Oh, it’s not, because if she was the one, you wouldn’t have to convince her. It would’ve. To happen. Yeah. I don’t like to let things just happen. I like to be proactive. God, I really, I hate that word.

Oh, you do. You my man, I’m gonna do me, which means I’m gonna go back to doing what I do best. And that is having as much no strings attached sex with as many beautiful women as humanly possible. In fact, your brother just made his triumph return to the streets by closing out an incredibly smoking hot reason.

Come on, Alex. Here is what? You had a threesome. Oh, skeletal.

Do I know any of the parties involved? Both of them. Allie Horton. Andre,

you’re kidding, right? Mm-hmm. . No, I’m not kidding. I knew it was my idea at first, and they rejected, but then they came around. They agreed to stop. Stop. Stop me. I don’t wanna know any of details. Stop. Allie is Will’s younger sister. I know the CS brothers have great taste in Hor. You cannot let anyone find out about this.

Okay? Oh, oh, woo. Oh, that’s my companion for the evening, Alex. She’s ripping and roaring. I gotta go. Alex. Alex is just kidding about the valley thing, right? Because you were trying to mess with me. Alex, Alex.

So now we’re playing slow off. We sure are. Okay, but where are you going? I’m going to get the checkbook for the trust fund. I left it at my father’s house unless you want handle tonight a while. No, I already told you. I’m not letting you use your own money. How else are you gonna get your hands on that much cash?

I just realized it’s easy. I’ll go to my father.

I did not know Steve Johnson had that kind of money laying around. He does technically what? Sorry? I’m lost. Dad and John helped the DEA bust a drug, Lord, a few months ago, and they used counterfeit money to set the guy up. Oh God. I know where this is going. Well, I know for a fact that the bogus bills are still stashed at the Black Patch office in case they ever need to use it.

You can’t be serious. Uh, if that money fool the drug, lord, it’ll fool Sloan, and I’m sure my father and John won’t mind. You wanna pay Sloane Peterson off with counterfeit money. Actually, I was hoping I could put you in charge of that. And what the hell are you gonna be doing while I’m passing off the fake Benjamins?

I’m glad you asked. Well, you’re making that bitch think that she just won the lottery. I will be breaking into her apartment.

What’s up? Stop. Is that how you greet all your dates? Is that what This is a date when you text me to skip the restaurant and come straight here. I figured this was more of a bully car. Just get in here and shut your mouth. So now I can’t even talk. I have my friends for convers.

I could let you move out of. It’s your home. You’ve dedicated your life to serving the people here. Well, and I’m very proud of that, right? But now it is your turn to be of service to the people of this state. And I wouldn’t wanna miss that. And my Deputy Mary is more than capable of taking care of things.

You’re really going to give up your career to be my first gentleman. There’s nothing I want more. What did I do to deserve you? ? You were you? Oh, oh, what’s what’s wrong? It’s something I have to tell you. Excuse me.

What’s that? Oh, he works for the campaign. Uh, honey, the volunteer office is down the hall. Oh. I’m a paid employee. I’m here for my check. Oh, shoot. Mary didn’t mail those checks, not mine. Uh, look, why don’t one, you take care of this and I will, uh, I’ll go pick his up some food for dinner. Okay. Sounds good, boo.

Okay, Mr. Dokey, let’s see about getting you paid. What? That would be excellent. What don’t I know you from somewhere. I don’t think so. Hmm. I really feel like I’ve seen you before.

I can’t believe it. Ava used a fake marriage license to get Jake’s chairs of Damara. Yeah. She’s good. Mm-hmm. not that good. My dad figured her out. Like he hasn’t done just way worse things. True. So, uh, what was his favor? You wanted to ask us? Uh, well, I was wondering if your couch is still available. Oh, hell no.

Absolutely not.

Johnny, we’ve talked about this. You cannot stay here. Come on hor. No, no, I’m sorry. The last time it drove me nuts. And we’re not gonna go through that again. You, you don’t understand. Okay, I’m gonna be staying at my dad’s. I’m not asking for me, I’m asking for a friend how her name is Wendy. I just met her, but you guys are gonna love her.

Mr. Me. It’s been a while. Oh my goodness. It’s too long. It’s been too long. How old are you? Oh, I’m fine, thanks. Oh, I’ve just been shopping mostly for Victor . He never shops for himself. . Well, you know what, um, speaking of Victor, yes. Do you know if he’s going to support Paulina and the governor? As far as I know, the whole karaoke family is behind her.

I’ve already mailed in my ballot and Victor’s well, mail in voting is the way to go. Mm-hmm. and I voted for you too. Oh, well you know that, that means more to me than you know. I just thought of something. What if you and Paulina both win? Won’t you two hate being apart? Well, we won’t actually be apart. No, wait a minute.

How are you gonna manage that? How are you the first of my friends to hear this news? But if Paul Nina is what to governor, I’ll be leaving Salem.

Uh, Leo Stark, that’s me. This sounds familiar. It’s just one of those common names. Oh, not to me, not. Oh, you’re my first Leo. Oh my God. What? Those shoes are those from? Teresa Donovan’s New Genie Collection. ? Yes, they are. Oh, I like a man that knows his couture footwear. , , . Oh, that’s it. Oh, I’m sorry. But that’s a going way for handing out cookies.

Oh, I’m gonna have to hand out a lot more of them. Hard time. You ever have a money-grubbing shyster lawyer breathing down your neck? Oh, what’s this guy’s name? It’s a her Sloan Peterson with an E. Well, how’d you get mixed up with her? She defended me for like two weeks and now she thinks she owns me. If I pay her off, I’m gonna be sleeping on a bench in the Horton Town Square.

We can’t have that. You know what? I might just be able to help you out.

You’re gonna break into Sloan Peterson’s department. We have to get our hands on the documents that she’s holding over, pulling its head, right? Yeah. What if they’re not there? We have to start somewhere. Do they teach, break and entering at public relations school? No, but I am Patch Johnson’s kid in high school, I picked the lock to the teacher’s lounge with my student ID card.

I will do whatever it takes to get my hands on whatever it is. Sloan’s hiding in there.

This is for that dinner. You missed, baby. I have missed so much of my life, but it certainly is not dinner.

ignore it. Oh, it. Ignore it. Oh, great, babe. Oh, can’t. I was wondering what I was gonna hear from you. Now you know, I hope this is good news for your client’s sake. You’re getting what you want. Sloane, my associate will be at the Brady Pub in one hour. One hour. Okay. I’ll be there. And where do you think you’re going?

I have a very important meeting. Yeah. More important than the best sex of your life. Someone thinks quite highly of himself. Tell you what? This meeting, it shouldn’t take very long. So why don’t you stay put and do what? I’m gonna sit around twiddling my thumbs until you get back. Yeah, I don’t think so.

Forget about it. Oh.

Oh, that’s, that’s what I’m talking about. Okay. Right. That’s exactly what I want you to do.

Your meeting’s all said, so I will go pick up the fake loop, bring it back here, and. I’ll head over to Sloan’s department. You really think it’s gonna work? It better?

Mine, some company. No, I d if it’s you. No, don’t turn off your, it’s fine.

May I Please? Go ahead. . Okay. . I don’t mind if I do . That movie looked pretty sad. . Yeah, well it’s uh, it’s pretty fitting for my mood.

You’re missing Will. Yeah, I dunno. Um. He was just supposed to come out for a visit. He’s stuck in La Don Rights. Hmm. I know a little bit about being married to men who are also married to their careers. . Uncle Vick should have retired a long time ago. Uh, he’s not the type to play golf or build bird houses, but neither was Mickey.

Do you ever wish

that they would put you first more?

Yes. I still wish that that Victor would sometimes. Yeah. Same with you. Yeah.

I know this has been a problem for you and Will before. Yeah. I just, I don’t know. Something has to change. You know, I, I can’t let this break us up again.

You know, we all ought to talk to Abe Carver. Abe, why? I just ran into Abe. He said that if Paulina wins the governorship that he is gonna resign as mayor and go wherever she is.

I’d love to know how he, yeah, he made that decision. the guy, right? Indeed.

How can you help me deal with Sloane Peterson? You need money to pay her off, right? You’re gonna give me a loan that is so generous. How can, how can I ever thank you. Do I look like a credit union to you? Um, no. I’m not offering you a loan. I’m offering you a j o b,

so you want. Us to let some random girl that you just met move into our apartment that I live in with my kid. Look, she’s not some random girl. Okay. She’s LE’s little sister, which means she’s about to be Gabby’s sister-in-law. Okay, well, if she’s that rich guy’s sister, then why isn’t she just buy herself a con or move into the mansion?

It’s literally a mansion. She can just take Ava’s old rooms. Now I don’t want to living in the same house as me. She and I are working on something and it involves my dad and her brother. What are you up to now, Giovanni? It’s nothing dangerous. Wendy and I just don’t want my dad to catch on to the fact that she and I are working together.

Well, when does she wanna start staying here tonight? Tonight, , Chanel and I have not been living together that long, and this will be our second house guest. Both thanks to you. Look, look, she’s not gonna be staying for that long, okay? She just needs to save up enough money to get her own place. Well, why doesn’t she just borrow the money from her brother?

She doesn’t wanna. , what do you think? I’m okay with it if you’ll thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much. Okay. I promise you I will make this up to you. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Right. Okay. You are an angel. Oh.

Found here. James Bond. Wow. Shut up. Sloan just left. Are you. As ready as I’m gonna be. Well, that’ll have to do. Be careful. Moy. Penny, you

okay? Girl? I’s, see if you can still remember what Papa tell you.

So Abes gonna give up his whole career just for Paulina. Well, that’s what he said, and he didn’t seem to have any doubts about it.

What are you thinking? I’m thinking that maybe getting stabbed in the back with a knife was a, um, sign from the universe. What kind of a sign? Well, Alex is in charge of Titan. Mm-hmm. , he’s doing just fine. So maybe I take a page at Abe’s book, you know, just quit. Move to LA with Will, if that’s what you really want.

But I don’t know. I, I’d love being the CEO of Titan. It’s like, it feels like what I was born to. And Will loves making movies.

You know what? I think that the two of you should figure out a way to meet each other halfway. I think you’re totally right and I think you better go find Victor. Thank you for sharing your pizza. Goodnight sweetheart. Goodnight. Thanks.

Hey, me again. Um, are you working?

Okay, good. We gotta talk.

Hey, I hope that this is enough to make Wendy feel comfortable. Oh, she’ll be fine. Oh God. I didn’t realize my phone was on silent. I missed a lot of calls. My mom texts me. Is everything okay with her? Oh yeah, yeah, she’s fine. She’s just checking in. Hey, uh, we never finished that conversation that we were having when Johnny came by.

You said you had something to tell me.

Here’s the deal. My assistant, her name is Mary, she’s been trying to handle the books for my campaign and my business from Florida . It is not working out to say the least. I need another assistant, someone who’s right here in Salem, and that would be, Pay is better than it is for a part-time campaign worker.

Plus there’s benefits. 401k health plan, a dental plan. I could use a cleaning. I’ll take it. Something you need to know. Now you remember that movie about the devil who wears Prada? Remember it? I know every word. Oh, well Mary will tell you that I think that PR wearing devil is the hero of the movie . And that ma little nobody is just lucky to have a job.

I understand. Don’t worry, Ms. Price. I will work my fingers to the bone, making sure your every need is met.

what are you doing here? Stuff. I was here when you left. That was. Uh, was being the operative word. Leo is now my new assistant.

Looks real to me.

You made it. Oh yeah. And for the sake of your client and your boss, I better like what I see in that briefcase.

Yes. It’s still got it.

What? What the hell are you here, here?

Update written by Joseph

Stephanie and Chad go to the Horton House as Stephanie is on the phone with Paulina. Stephanie assures that she has this all under control and she has come up with a fool-proof strategy. Stephanie promises Paulina that Sloan won’t be a problem for her or Chanel anymore as they hang up. Chad asks Stephanie what the plan is that they have. Stephanie admits it beats the hell out of her.

Allie comes home to Chanel after dropping Henry off with Nicole for a sleepover with Holly. Chanel comments that it’s great that Nicole decided to make that a weekly thing. Allie points out that it means they will get one night a week all to themselves. Chanel asks what she wants to do tonight. Allie suggests they could call Alex.

Sonny is at home on the phone with Will. Sonny gets that Will has to stay and do his job, but admits he was really looking forward to seeing him. Alex walks in. Sonny asks Will what about next weekend and guesses he will try. Sonny tells Will that he loves him and hangs up. Alex asks what the hell Will did now. Sonny says nothing and that he was just supposed to come for a visit but he’s stuck in LA. Sonny asks Alex if he wants to stay in and hang out tonight. Alex informs Sonny that he actually has plans as Sonny might not be getting lucky tonight, but he sure as hell is.

Sloan walks through the town square and comes across a campaign table promoting Paulina for Governor with Leo dressed up in a donkey costume, handing out free cookies. Sloan stops and demands that he take off the mask, threatening to scream for the cops if he doesn’t. Leo reluctantly removes his mask and Sloan tells him that he is so busted.

Chanel questions Allie really wanting to call Alex. Allie asks why not. Chanel thought they agreed that the threesome wasn’t going to be a regular thing. Allie clarifies that she meant that they could go get drinks. Allie assures that they are on the same page regarding Alex and that the threesome was a one time thing. Allie figured that the sooner they go back to hanging out, the less awkward it will be. Chanel agrees that makes sense but asks if they can do it another night because she’s not really in the mood to go out tonight. Allie asks if everything is okay. Chanel admits that it’s not.

Sonny questions if Alex is just back to being a player. Alex reminds Sonny that he told him he needs to get over Stephanie and move on. Sonny questions him taking his advice. Alex informs Sonny that he found out that Stephanie is not just not in to him, but she’s hung up on someone else. Sonny asks who, so Alex reveals that it’s Chad.

Chad questions Stephanie telling Paulina that they had a plan when they don’t. Stephanie says she was up all night trying to figure out a way to neutralize Sloan but came up with nothing. Chad suggests hiring a private investigator to try and dig up dirt on her but Stephanie worries that would take too long. Stephanie wishes they could just get the original copies of what Sloan has on Chanel. Chad notes that would be complicated and suggests there’s always the option of paying off Sloan’s client. Stephanie says Paulina refuses to be part of extortion and also worries that Sloan’s client would keep demanding more. Chad points out that he never said Paulina had to be the one to pay it. Stephanie questions where else they would get the money. Chad suggests from himself.

Leo questions how Sloan knew it was him. Sloan informs him that her private investigator told her that he was hiding in plain sight, dressed as a mule and she thought he was kidding. Leo corrects her that it’s a donkey and says he’s not hiding but working for Paulina’s campaign committee. Sloan questions someone actually hiring him. Leo calls her rude. Sloan then demands the money he owes her now, unless he wants to play a very unpleasant game of Pin the Tail on the Donkey.

Paulina texts Chanel that she can relax now because their problem is getting solved and everything is looking up. Abe then arrives at her office and asks what she is so happy about. Paulina tells Abe that her polling numbers went up. Abe advises her not to let her guard down because the other side will attack. Paulina assures that she’s tough. Abe relates his experience that the other side will come after the fact that Lani is in prison. Paulina remarks that it’s one thing to come after her but no one is going to come after her daughters.

Allie tells Chanel that she can tell her anything but they get interrupted by a knock at the door. They answer the door to see Johnny, who says he really needs a favor from them.

Sonny tells Alex that there is no way that Chad is interested in someone else when it hasn’t been that long since Abigail passed away. Alex complains that he just saw Chad with Stephanie and they didn’t even notice him because they only had eyes for each other. Sonny repeats that there’s no way. Alex adds that they denied it when he asked if they were hooking up which Sonny questions. Alex states that even if Stephanie wasn’t with Chad, it’s clear she’s not in to him. Sonny questions him going back to being a player. Alex reminds Sonny that he warned him someone would come in to his life to change his ways and that was Stephanie. Alex declares that now he’s going to soothe his broken heart with as much meaningless sex as possible.

Stephanie tells Chad that she would never ask him to use his own money to solve a client’s problem. Chad points out that she didn’t ask, he offered. Stephanie notes that Sloan’s client wants a million dollar payoff. Chad informs her that he has a trust fund. Stephanie repeats that she will not allow him to use his personal funds to get her out of a jam with a client. Chad reminds her that they are in this together. Chad comments that there’s worse things he could do with that money than help out the future Governor of their state and adds that he could use Paulina on his side. Stephanie asks what if the wrong person finds out and people say she used her company to help a DiMera get the Governor in his pocket. Chad admits he didn’t think of that and just thought throwing money at the problem would help. Stephanie then decides he could be right. Stephanie declares that they are going to give Sloan the payday she’s been looking for.

Sloan tells Leo not to play her since she successfully defended him against some serious charges so she tells him to pay up. Leo argues that he thought the free publicity was payment enough. Sloan warns that if Leo doesn’t cut her a check, she will send him to a collection agency that won’t take no for an answer. Sloan asks if they understand each other now.

Allie tells Johnny to start calling before he just comes over because they were in the middle of something. Chanel says it’s okay and that their conversation can wait until later. Chanel then asks Johnny what’s up since last she heard, he was moving in to the DiMera Mansion with Ava. Johnny confirms that he did but Ava had to leave town. Allie questions Ava not saying goodbye to her grandson Henry. Johnny explains that Ava had to make a quick getaway because EJ was going to have her arrested.

Leo argues that Sloan is threatening him with bodily harm which is against the law, so he could make a citizen’s arrest. Sloan tells him that he’s absolutely right but he misconstrued what she was saying because she would never threaten someone with bodily harm. Sloan warns that she’s getting fed up. Leo complains that he’s strapped for cash which is why he took a low paying job. Sloan remarks that she always gets her man and tells Leo that he bet on the wrong horse because there’s no way that Paulina will ever be moving in to the Governor’s mansion. Leo asks how she knows that since he saw she is pulling ahead in the polls. Sloan responds that all it takes is one dirty scandal and Paulina’s political career will be over as quick as Leo’s romance with Craig.

Abe praises that Paulina’s daughters are lucky to have a mom as fierce as she is. Paulina jokes that they both say she gets on their nerves but she loves them so much. Abe assures that they love her just like he does. Abe says he’s proud of her for wanting to be of service to the people of the state. Abe informs Paulina that he has made an important decision and hopes she thinks it’s a good one. Paulina questions what he has decided. Abe announces that if Paulina is elected as Governor, he will resign as Mayor and move to the capitol with her.

Sonny doesn’t think Alex should give up on finding the one. Alex responds that he met the one and it was Stephanie. Sonny argues that if she was the one, he wouldn’t have to convince her and it would just happen. Alex doesn’t like to let things just happen and wants to be proactive. Alex declares that he’s going back to doing what he does best which is having as much no strings sex with as many beautiful women as humanly possible. Alex reveals that he just finished an incredibly, smoking hot threesome. Sonny laughs it off at first but questions if he knows any of the parties involved. Alex confirms that he knows both of them and reveals his threesome was with Allie and Chanel. Sonny is shocked and asks if he’s kidding. Alex assures that he’s not but Sonny doesn’t want to hear any details, pointing out that Allie is Will’s little sister. Sonny warns Alex that he cannot let anyone find out about this. Alex then gets a text from Sloan to skip dinner and come straight to his place. Alex tells Sonny that’s his companion for the evening so he has to go. Sonny asks if Alex was just kidding about Allie and was just trying to mess with him. Sonny yells after Alex as he exits the mansion.

Stephanie tells Chad that they are paying off Sloan’s client now. Chad says he’ll go get his trust fund but Stephanie reminds him that she told him she won’t let him use his own money. Chad questions how else she would get her hands on that much cash. Stephanie responds that she just realized it’s easy as she will go to her father. Chad did not know Steve had that kind of money laying around. Stephanie responds that he does technically since John and Steve helped the DEA bust a drug dealer and used counterfeit money to set him up. Stephanie knows for a fact that the bogus bills are still stashed at the Black Patch office in case they needed to use it again. Chad argues that she can’t be serious. Stephanie feels that if the money fooled a drug lord then it will fool Sloan and she’s sure that Steve and John won’t mind. Chad questions Stephanie wanting to pay Sloan Peterson off with counterfeit money. Stephanie hoped to put Chad in charge of that while she breaks in to Sloan’s apartment.

Alex goes to Sloan’s apartment. Sloan tells him to just come in and shut his mouth as they start kissing.

Paulina tells Abe that she can’t let him move out of Salem when he dedicated his life to serving the people here. Abe says he’s very proud of that but now it’s Paulina’s turn to serve the people of the state and he wouldn’t want to miss that while his deputy mayor is capable of handling things. Paulina questions Abe giving up his career to be her first gentleman. Abe responds that there’s nothing he wants more. Paulina asks what she did to deserve him. Abe says she was just her and kisses her. Paulina then tells Abe that there is something she has to tell him but they are interrupted Leo in his donkey mask, saying he came for his check. Abe tells Paulina that he will let her handle this while he goes to pick them up some food. Leo then removes his mask so Paulina asks if she knows him from somewhere. Leo says he doesn’t think so. Paulina feels like she has seen him before.

Allie can’t believe Ava used a fake marriage license to get Jake’s shares at DiMera. Johnny explains that EJ figured her out as if he hasn’t done way worse things. Chanel asks about the favor Johnny needed. Johnny wonders if their couch is still available. Allie immediately says hell no and absolutely not. Allie tells him that they talked about this and he cannot stay here again. Chanel tries to argue but Allie says the last time drove her nuts and they are not going through that again. Johnny then clarifies that he’s staying at the DiMera Mansion and he’s asking for a friend. Johnny reveals that it’s Wendy who he just met but assures that they will love her.

Abe walks through the town square and comes across Maggie. They hug as Maggie says it’s been awhile. Maggie tells him that she was just shopping for Victor. Abe asks if she knows if Victor is going to support Paulina in the Governor race. Maggie assures that the whole Kiriakis family will and that she already mailed in her and Victor’s ballots, noting that she voted for Abe too. Abe says that means more than she knows. Maggie asks what if Abe and Paulina both win and if they will hate being apart. Abe reveals that they won’t be apart. Maggie questions how they will manage that. Abe responds that she’s the first to hear this news but if Paulina is elected Governor, he will be leaving Salem.

Paulina comments that Leo Stark’s name sounds familiar. Leo claims it’s just a common name but Paulina disagrees. Leo then acknowledges Paulina’s shoes as being from Theresa Donovan’s new collection which impresses Paulina. Paulina gives Leo his check and he questions that being it. Paulina says that’s the going rate for handing out cookies. Leo remarks that he’s going to have to hand out a lot more then. Paulina asks if he’s on hard times. Leo complains about a money grubbing lawyer breathing down his neck and reveals that it’s Sloan. Paulina questions how he got mixed up with her. Leo explains that she defended him for two weeks and now she thinks she owns him. Leo remarks that if he doesn’t pay her off, he’s going to be sleeping on a bench in the town square. Paulina says they can’t have that and that she might just be able to help him out.

Chad questions Stephanie planning to break in to Sloan’s apartment. Stephanie says they have to get their hands on the documents she’s holding over Paulina’s head. Chad asks what if they aren’t there. Stephanie says they have to start somewhere. Stephanie mentions being Steve’s daughter and that in school, she used her student ID to break in to the teacher’s lounge. Stephanie declares that she will do whatever it takes to get her hands on whatever Sloan is hiding.

Sloan and Alex kiss in bed until Sloan’s phone rings. Alex tries to convince her to ignore it but she gets up and answers the call from Stephanie. Sloan says she wondered when she would hear from her and hopes it’s good news for her client’s sake. Stephanie responds that Sloan is getting what she wants and her associate will be at the Brady Pub in one hour. Sloan says she’ll be there and hangs up. Alex questions where she’s going. Sloan responds that she has a very important meeting. Alex questions it being more important than the best sex of her life. Sloan jokes that he thinks highly of himself. Sloan says the meeting shouldn’t take long so she suggests Alex stay put. Alex tells her to forget about it but Sloan then pulls out handcuffs and cuffs him to the bed. Alex says that’s what he’s talking about as they kiss.

Stephanie tells Chad that his meeting is all set so she will go pick up the fake money and then head over to Sloan’s apartment. Chad asks if she really thinks this is going to work. Stephanie says it better and then exits.

Maggie goes home to the Kiriakis Mansion and finds Sonny in the living room, watching a movie and eating pizza by himself. Maggie joins him and guesses he is missing Will. Sonny confirms that Will was supposed to come visit but he’s stuck in LA doing rewrites. Maggie relates to being in relationships with men who are married to their careers. Sonny asks if she ever wishes that they would put her first more. Maggie admits that she still wishes Victor would sometimes which Sonny relates to. Maggie knows this has been a problem for he and Will before. Sonny responds that something has to change as he can’t let this break them up again. Maggie suggest Will talk to Abe because she just ran in to Abe and he said if Paulina wins the governorship, he will resign as mayor and go wherever she is. Sonny would love to know how he made that decision.

Leo questions how Paulina can help him deal with Sloan Peterson. Paulina points out that he needs money to pay her off. Leo excitedly asks if she’s going to give him a loan and calls that so generous, asking how he can ever thank her. Paulina asks if she looks like a credit union to him and clarifies that she’s not offering him a loan, but a job.

Allie questions Johnny wanting them to let some random girl that he just met move in to their apartment that she has with her son. Johnny argues that she’s not some random girl as she is Li Shin’s little sister which means she will soon be Gabi’s sister in law. Chanel and Allie question why Wendy doesn’t just buy her own place or move in to the DiMera Mansion and take Ava’s old room. Johnny doesn’t want her living in the same house as him since they are working on something that involves EJ and Li. Allie questions what he’s up to now. Johnny says they just don’t want EJ to catch on to the fact they are working together. Chanel asks when Wendy wants to start staying here. Johnny says tonight. Allie complains that she and Chanel haven’t been living together that long and this will be their second houseguest thanks to him. Johnny insists that Wendy won’t be staying that long and just needs to save up enough money to get her own place. Chanel asks why she doesn’t just borrow from her brother. Johnny says she doesn’t want to do that. Allie asks what Chanel thinks. Chanel responds that she’s okay with it if Allie is. Johnny excitedly thanks them and promises to make it up to them. Johnny hugs Allie and calls her an angel.

Sloan leaves her apartment and after she walks away, Stephanie approaches. Stephanie calls Chad, who is waiting at the Pub. Stephanie asks Chad if he’s ready. Chad says he’s as ready as he’s going to be. They tell each other to be careful and hang up. Stephanie then starts to try and pick the lock of Sloan’s apartment.

Sonny asks Maggie about Abe giving up his whole career just for Paulina. Maggie confirms that’s what Abe said and he didn’t seem to have any doubts about it. Maggie asks what Sonny is thinking. Sonny responds that maybe getting stabbed in the back with a knife was sign from the universe. Sonny points out that Alex is in charge of Titan and is doing just fine, so maybe he should take a page out of Abe’s book and just quit to move to LA with Will. Maggie asks if that’s what he really wants. Sonny admits he loves being the CEO of Titan and it feels like what he was born to do while Maggie points out that Will loves making movies. Maggie thinks they should figure out a way to meet each other halfway which Sonny agrees with. Maggie hugs Sonny and tells him goodnight as she then exits. Sonny then picks up his phone and calls Will to tell him they need to talk.

Allie prepares things for Wendy while Chanel checks her phone and sees she missed a lot of calls and a text from Paulina. Allie asks if everything is okay with her. Chanel says Paulina is fine and just checking in. Allie reminds Chanel that they never finished their conversation when Johnny came by where Chanel said she had something to tell her.

Paulina informs Leo that her assistant Mary has been trying to handle the books for her campaign and her business from Florida and it’s not working out, so she needs another assistant here in Salem. Leo asks if that would be him. Paulina says it would pay better plus benefits. Leo exclaims that he will take it. Paulina compares herself to the movie The Devil Wears Prada. Leo assures that he’ll work his fingers to the bone to make sure her every need is met. Abe then returns and questions what Leo is doing here. Leo points out that he was there when Abe left. Paulina announces that Leo is now her new assistant, shocking Abe.

Chad sits at the Brady Pub with the briefcase of counterfeit money and says it looks real to him. Sloan then arrives and warns Chad that for the sake of his client and his boss, she better like what she sees in the briefcase.

Stephanie successfully breaks in to Sloan’s apartment and finds Alex inside, handcuffed to the bed. Both are shocked and question what the other is doing there.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Honey, I’m, I’m fine. Actually, I’m doing better every single day. Yeah. I miss you too. Hey, John just walked in. Okay. I will. I’ll tell him. Yeah, and I will call you as soon as I get home. Love you too, sweetie. Bye. And that was semi. Hmm. Well, you’ll be talking to her real son. Oh, and why is that? Well, because you said you would call her when you got home and I just ran into Dr.

Patel in the hallway and he said they’re springing you outta here in an hour. Oh my gosh. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Don’t start quit. No, no. You start, I starting and get all this falls apart. I need to call be and you need to call Brady. He’s been very conservative. What’s the matter, uh, about Brady? What about him?

Ran into him when I was back at the house and, um, he just broke up with Chloe.

Have you completely lost your mind? There’s no way in hell that Brady would ever let you move in here. Well, I understand your reaction. I mean, I could hardly believe it myself, Brady, this, this, this can’t be true. Right. Please tell me that she’s making it up and then throw. The hell out of here.

Chloe. Stephan, listen, I heard about you and Brady. I came to check on you.

Chloe. Ah, come on,

Chloe.

I hope you’re not giving up on her that easily.

Kars nice this time of year. He says you love it. He says

What changes? Scenery can be good for his mind and new lab beans. New work. No ideas,

and after all, Salem is nothing without Ste. Anyway, so, so long. Good rids

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

Coming somewhere, you’re all packed up. It looks to me like you’re fleeing the scene of a crime. As I told the police, I’ve done nothing wrong. And then why are you so anxious to leave? If you must know I’m leaving town, I have a plane to catch. So if you excuse me, I’m No, you’re not. You’re not going anywhere.

Not until we talk about what you did to step in. I’m not giving. Fun, Chloe, but seeing as she’s not here, I’m going to give up on knocking on her door. Just keep trying. Remember faint heart. Never one fair lady. Right? Thank you. It’s always nice to get advice from someone you barely know. It’s not advice, but encouragement.

Keep fighting for her. Don’t become discouraged just because for the moment she’s with Brady. Okay, not that it’s any of your business, but Chloe and Brady are not together anymore.

I on understand why you fired me and it wasn’t because a budget mandated downsizing. It’s because you and RA got in a fight last night. What? Well, you and Ra were arguing about the fact that you and I were working together and how exactly did you learn that? Jada told me. Wouldn’t she just go put it on her?

She was on her way home and she happened overhear the two of you fighting outside the pub. Oh, and she decided to listen in. It wasn’t on purpose. But you did hear enough to understand why you suddenly fired me this morning. Oh, I’m, I’m sorry. No, don’t be. I do wish you would’ve told me in person, but I understand that I’m, listen here, I know you’re here for my badge.

Oh. Um, this is why you’re here, isn’t it? No, I’m. We hire you. I want you to stay. What? What? Really? Yeah. And I, and I also want, um, to forget that this ever happened in the first place.

What about ra? Well, when I told him that I, I fired you, he was really upset. He didn’t wanna be the reason that you lost your job. He pretty much insisted that I hire you.

It’s really big of home. You know, maybe this isn’t such a good idea after all.

So, apparently Brady felt the need to end things with Chloe for Rachel’s sake.

I understand the impulse. Mm-hmm. , but what? I also understand that Rachel doesn’t want someone to replace her mother, but Brady can’t succumb to every tantrum that Rachel has. If he does, she will simply learn that she can manipulate people with her moods. Yeah. Well, you know what? I think you can tell him that, but it’s not gonna do any good cuz he also said he didn’t have a choice.

What does that mean? Well, I’m not sure. Think I have a pretty good idea. Oh, so we sense Kristin’s handy Work here. Well, I am so sorry, Chloe. I, it seems I caught you in Unawares Brady. I, why didn’t you tell Chloe yourself about our plans? I mean, men, they will forget to tell you the house was on fire.

I was gonna tell you. I had no idea she was showing up here today. But you knew she was moving in? Yes.

Oh my God. I don’t, I don’t understand. This is Marla’s house. She almost just died. And you’re gonna let the woman who spent a lifetime tormenting her move in here? No. I was really hoping that we can conduct ourselves. It’s a dull. What is John gonna think? But sitting across from her at the breakfast table every day, oh, maybe a train is around you don’t what, Kristin?

You can take your snide remarks and just shove. Now I understand you breaking up with me for Rachel’s sake, but moving her into your dad and Marlena’s house, that is madness. Mm-hmm. . Well, you know, you’re gonna have to take this up with Brady because it was all his idea.

Nicole, clearly my working with you and for you has caused problems for you and ra. So if I go back who say those problems aren’t gonna start all over again, well, no, they, they won’t because RA and I cleared the air, so things are much better. Is he like a ra? Just thought I rushed. He thought you rushed what?

Nothing. Nothing. No, no, no. You said you cleared the air with ra. I think you need to do the same thing for us.

Ry thought I rushed into marrying. Because of you, but why? Well, didn’t Jada tell you that part? No. No, no. Stop. Jada is not a part of this conversation. Stop using her to dodge answering the question. Why was Ray so worried about you rushing in to get married because of me.

Ra thought I married him too. Have avoided my feelings for you, , which is ridiculous. You see?

Wait, it, it was your idea to have Kristen move in?

Obviously it’s not ideal, but Rachel wanted to spend time with her mom. Yeah. Rachel wants to spend time with her mom, but you’re gonna inflict her on your dad and your stepmom. I think it’s going to be a time for healing. Wouldn’t sharing custody be better than this? Oh wow. Yeah. My dear, dear Sweet Chloe.

Thank you. Thank you so much for your loving input. Um, shared custody. Oh my god, that sounds like a reasonable solution. Uh, but I don’t think the judge is going to allow it because your big mouth made it sound like I was, uh, dangerous and unhinged because you are dangerous and unhinged. Okay, well, in a real way, you were responsible for, um, this new living arrangement, Brady.

Come on, you’ve gotta go back to the judge and make something else work. Other than this, Chloe, I just, this is, this is my only option. Your only option. What the hell,

Brady? Why are you really doing this?

Brady and Chloe broke up. That’s what my sister said. What happened? You know, I don’t know. Christian was so busy doing her happy dance. I didn’t get a lot of the details. Wow. good for you with Brady out of the way. Now you have a clear shot with Chloe. Worked out for both of you. Yeah. Worked out for you too.

What do you mean? You know, Lee, ever since I’ve been back, you’ve been shoving me at Chloe. You said you were in love with her. Right. You just want me to be happy. Had nothing to do with me being married to your fiance.

You want to know what I did to Stephan? I saved his life. So you are welcome and goodbye. Not so fast. What are you doing? Give that back. Oh, is this important? Is it fragile, irreplaceable, give it back. Nope. Mm-hmm. . Not until you tell me what else you did. I don’t know what you mean. Oh, well, Stephan. Stephan was madly and passionately in love with me, and now he hates me with a vengeance, and I know it’s because of you.

What did you get?

Yeah. Come on, start talking. Because I’m not just gonna destroy everything in this box. I’m gonna destroy the entire lab. All I did was bring s Stephan’s son back to life, which was a challenge because thanks to you, he was missing a heart. You told me there was nothing you could do to save him. And after I figured out how to keep him technically alive, I wasn’t sure if I could ever revive him, as in Jake’s heart became available.

And since severe twins, it was a perfect night. Wait a second. Stephan has Jake’s heart. Duh. Jake dies and sucker blue, his twin comes back from the dead. Didn’t you find that timing just a tag coincidental? Oh my God. Chris and I first tried to save Jake, of course, but, and we realized it was a lost cause. I made this switch and.

And then he was alive. Isn’t that enough for you? No. No. Go stop doing that. I can’t help it. If you woke up a little different, my theory is that I took a near death experience for him to realize that you weren’t worthy of him.

No, that is not what happened. Okay. You better start telling me the truth, or you are a dead. Right, and this time there’s not gonna be a doctoral to save your life.

I’m sorry, I shouldn’t ask you that. That’s none of my business. Let me know what it’s, it’s okay. I, I could see. Dragging rape off to City Hall to get married. It looked a little knee jerk on my part, but you know, he, he was, he was buried in work and he was in charge of Abigail’s murder investigation and I, I just didn’t think we needed all that fuss and bother.

Makes sense.

And, You know, last night is, it’s just bottom line. I, I, I should have told RA that I was hiring you in the first place. And it, and it bothered him that I didn’t, and, and he just, he started to think, you know, why did I move up the wedding and maybe, you know, did it hash something to do with us being at, at Abe and Paulina’s.

Like I said, we just needed to clear the air and, and we, and, and we did, and now everything’s fine. So, yeah. Yeah. I’m, I’m, I’m glad. Okay. Well now that that’s settled, um, are you willing to come back to work for me?

You know, Doug, I, I could point out that you think Kristin is responsible for every bad thing that’s ever happened, but then again, you’d be right. You know what scares me? Kristin’s ferocity when it comes to that child. I mean, what about the note in the lunchbox? Yeah. Trying to flame. The child’s hatred for Chloe with, with no regard for what it might do to Rachel.

Yeah. Well, you know what? And she will do anything to get her hands on that little girl. And what about Brady? She wants him back too. Ah, that’s not gonna happen. Doc. I think Brady has finally seen the light about Kristen. I wouldn’t be so sure. It does seem to have a weakness for her. Not anymore. Not anymore.

She no longer holds any sway over Brady. Thank you again. God,

call me please. Can you please accept the fact that I am, I am doing this for Rachel and you think it’s, it’s gonna be healthy for Rachel to live in this at. You don’t think there’s gonna be a certain level of tension in this home? All right, Brady, I’m gonna have to ask you to put an end to this and perhaps you can let her know that none of this, and especially Rachel, is any of her business, just stop.

Okay, Brady. It’s fine. I’m going, you know what? I hated it, but I understood why you had to break up with me, but caving to her. I don’t think I know you anymore.

Well, hmm. Given what I heard about you and Gabby, I was a bit thrown when you came back on the. Yeah, the least a dead husband could do is stay dead. Right. But since you keep saying things along the lines of, she turns my stomach, I can safely assume you no longer have feelings for her, right?

Yeah, sure. I mean, when I died, My feelings for Gabby died with me, although I’m not entirely sure. Why

does it matter? It all worked out. You can be with Chloe now. Hmm. And you and Gabby can live here happily ever after.

Uh, start talking doctor. Are you gonna be reun with Stefano in hell? You wouldn’t dare. Oh, that’s what fell and thought. And I put a bullet in his chest. And for you, I’m thinking cutting you up into tiny pieces and fitting you to the rats. Your deranged No, no. I am determined to get the truth. One last chance, Ralph, what did you do to Stephan?

This is your Caro, isn’t it? Alright. All right. You’re right. I brainwash you.

I knew it. I knew it. I knew you might step and hate me. So now that you know it, could you move that scar away from my throat? Oh, no, no, no, no. I’ve noticed, I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but you’re more forthcoming with a knife to your neck. But I told you what you wanted to know, and now I wanna know why do you really hate me that much?

Of course I do, but it wasn’t personal. I was just, they’re just following waters. Kristin Dara’s orders, Kristin White. She was hoping that if Stephan Beta, Chloe, he would come between her and Brady. She could have free to herself. She remembers at that one time Stephan was lasting it, sorry, had feelings for Ms.

Lane. She asked me to pump up his old attraction to her, and at the same time, Rekindle his initial hatred of you. This really had nothing to do with me, Ms. Hernandez, a scalper in a minute. Good old Kristin. Always get what she wants. And this time it’s to break up. Chloe and Brady. Yes. That’s what she wanted.

Wait, what does that mean? Kristen wanted to break up Brady and Chloe, but your fiance wanted to protect his investment. Lee, Alicia, he knew everything he knew all along. I had Ste on ice, but the brainwashing , it was his idea. Reef. Hi. I was actually, um, gonna call you later. Do you have time for a drink?

There’s something I’d like to ask you. Um, yeah, sure. I don’t see why not. I’m about to hit you up for a favor. Okay.

I was wondering if you’d be my best. Me, I, I know we are not exactly old friends, but I think it’d mean a lot to Gabby. I know how close the two of you are. Yeah. Wow. Uh, okay. So this means that you two have set a date. Not yet, but now that she and Stefan have signed their divorce papers, there’s nothing stopping.

Unless, of course Stephan isn’t acting of his own free will.

What are you doing here?

Hey, there was, uh, leaving your note. I heard you and Brady broke up and what? You’re here zeroing in on me when I’m down? No, I’m actually. Check on you. Make sure you’re okay. Did your sister tell you that she’s moving in with Brady? No, she didn’t. I’m surprised cuz she, she had a lot of fun telling me she was rubbing my nose in it.

Sorry. Why am. People break up every day. It’s not a big deal.

You’re enjoying this immensely, aren’t you? Oh, yes I am. I have been waiting a long time. For this whole family thing, right? Chris, let me tell you a little something that you might not know. Our daughter Rachel, she’s razor sharp. She’s old for her age. She has a very clear eye. You know, a lot of her adoration that she has for you is based upon the fact that you haven’t even been around.

You convinced her that you were taken from her by this, this, this fairytale villainist, but you. Romantic figure. Just a, an illusion of what a mother is supposed to be. And it’s worked. It’s worked Mainly because she doesn’t even know who you really are.

I mean, is this going someplace? Yeah. Rachel loves my dad and Marlena, and if you try to pull the crap with them that you pulled with, It’s gonna register Kristin, and it’s gonna register in time with Rachel, and she’s gonna realize that you only give a damn about yourself. So I would rethink this family thing.

I would rethink spending a lot of time with Rachel. That might be a tactical era because it’s gonna be really hard, really hard for you to maintain that maternal illusion 24 7 up close and personal. As a matter of fact, I happen to think that that illusion is not gonna hold up. The second your daughter looks you dead in the eyes and says, you know what, mom?

No, are you done? Yeah. Yeah. I’m just giving you some food for thought. Okay, good, good, good. Brady, cuz I’m gonna give you the ground rules. Don’t you ever, ever question my relationship with my daughter again, and don’t you ever forget that I have the upper hand permanently. If I want us to be a family, we are going to be a family.

And if I wanna to live here, we are going to live. Because as only you and I know my lane and her lady friends are gonna need more doses of that serum or they will die. Oh, sweetheart, don’t look so put out.

You see couples fight and then they kiss and then they make up. And they do get on with their lives.

Well, can you ask her to come back? Well, thanks for nothing.

The model thought the shoot was canceled and she got on a plane back to new. I have to get these photos done for Bella Magazine today. Brady and Chloe are gonna kill me.

Do it yourself. What? You know, like you’re the best one I’ve ever worked with. Trust me. Sounds like Gabby told you about her, um, theory that Ralph somehow brainwashed. Mm. . Yeah, that’s right. Hmm. I think it’s just, uh, wishful thinking or a wounded ego on her part. Sure. It’s hard for her to, I accept how Stephan feels about her now.

Well, I guess we’ll be fine out soon enough. What do you mean? I mean that J is grilling raw as we speak.

No, no. Lee wouldn’t do that. Come now, do you think he’s too high minded? No, he wouldn’t do that to me. But he did do that to you. He wants you to himself. He didn’t want the risk losing you to Stephan to the extent that he tried to murder him in his sleep. Papa, he realized Kristin was about to let that happen.

He pitched the idea of brainwashing him and Kristin climbed on board with it.

Okay. Okay. I can’t think about all of that right now. Right now what is important is for you to, to take it back. The brainwashing. Oh, funny you should say that cuz it happens. I’ve already created an antidote. In that box, wouldn’t it be ironic in your fury you had destroyed it too? Get it. Get it.

One dose of this and Stephan will be back to normal.

I’d imagine your encounter with Kristin was pretty rough. She’s not exactly a gracious winner. You can say that again. She’s not exactly a gracious winner.

I mean, it’s hard enough that Brady broke up with me, and I understand that he was doing that for Rachel, but to let Kristen move in with him, It’s sickening.

I just wish I could get on a plane and get the hell out of Salem.

Right here, I got an idea. Oh, where are you going?

You know, shouldn’t I be carrying you across a threshold or so? Oh, hi. Hi. Oh my God, dad, I was, I was gonna call you Mar home. Oh, . I’ve never been so happy to be anywhere in my life. So let’s get you into bed then. Come on. Nope, nope. You know, I just wanna, I wanna sit right here and enjoy the fact that nobody’s walking in and sing.

How are you feeling today, ? That I, I, um, I didn’t know that. Um, there’s something I have to tell you. What is it? Ernie Brady? Do you know where La Marlena puts the, oh, John Marlena, welcome home.

How I look

that bad, huh? I know. You, you, you look great. Did I? I was just, you know, trying to figure out how am I gonna shoot the dress? That’s knockout, isn’t it the right words? For sure. Um, hey, can you stand over here and let me a few sample shots.

Oh, oh, . Sorry. Nervous. Oh my God. Yeah.

Well, I hope this is a kinda like riding a bicycle. I knew it. Camera loves you. Yes’, one thing.

It’s perfect. Hey.

Well, Marlena, you look so much better. I mean, back at the hospital, you really did look like you were on death store. What are you doing here? I am surprised that they let you home so soon. I asked you a. What? Why are you here? Oh, Brady, do you wanna tell them or should I

what? Saw this, you said you wanted to get away, but we are both tied to our jobs, so I thought I would recreate Miami. I think we did that time in Doug’s place. Remember? It’s kind of hard to forget. Yeah. Well, you need to relax now even more than you did then, Stephan. I, I, I, I appreciate this, but I’m sorry I’m in, I’m really in a terrible mood.

Okay. So being in a bad mood. On a beach with a margarita. Salton knows Salt

Gabby’s at the lab right now. I can’t believe you let her go there by herself. She didn’t ask my permission. I I, I’ve gotta get over there. How much you need the address right? Text it to me. Will you? Ga Gabby. Oh, I was, um, just, just coming to. I was talking to roll, you know, re just told me, Gabby, what did he say?

He said Gabby, what did RO say? Um, I’m sorry, I lost my train of thought there for a second. Um, he said that he didn’t do anything to turn stuff in against me and for some weird reason. Honestly believe him.

Mr. Shield was right. I’ll be better off than Jakarta. At least there I won’t have. Luda takes barging in on me whenever they feel like. And that Hernandez woman was the craziest as all . Thank God I had that vial of CRS 17. She won’t remember a thing. Gabby. No one, especially you ever believes Ralph. Well, I held a scalpel to his throat and he still said he didn’t do anything.

Okay? And if you have to hold a scalpel into someone’s throat, you shouldn’t tell a cop about it. You believe it? Yes. Yes I do. And I think it’s for the best. Makes moving on a lot easier. I’m so glad to hear you say that. Speaking of which, I just asked RA to be my best man at our wedding. Oh, that is a great idea.

I’m actually still waiting for an answer. It would be my.

Thank you ra. Mm-hmm. . I hope that, uh, our marriage is as happy as yours and Nicole’s.

Yeah. Oh, Eric, these are great. Well, I wasn’t lying. You still have what it takes? Well, after all these years, We still make a great team.

Ah, you like that one? Yeah. We’ll star that one.

So how’s your drink? Actually, it’s kind of perfect. Hmm.

Oh, I almost forgot.

There. What do you think?

I think this is the nicest thing anyone’s done for me in a while. Hmm. Thank you S Stephen.

You’re very welcome.

Cheers,

so. You’re going to be living here with us? Mm-hmm. . I mean, isn’t that great? Oh, I better get back to the kitchen. I wouldn’t wanna burn our first dinner together as family,

so I think. You have some serious explaining to do.

Update written by Joseph

Marlena is in her hospital bed, on the phone with Sami. Marlena assures her that she is feeling better and promises to call her when she gets out as John arrives. John points out that Marlena said she would call Sami when she gets home so he then reveals that she’s getting out in an hour which excites Marlena. Marlena mentions that John needs to call Brady since he’s been very concerned but John looks away, so Marlena asks what’s the matter. John informs Marlena that Brady just broke up with Chloe.

After Kristen tells Chloe that she’s moving in, Chloe questions if she’s completely lost her mind because there’s no way in Hell that Brady would ever let her move in. Kristen understands her reaction and says she could hardly believe it herself. Chloe argues that this can’t be true. Chloe asks Brady to tell her that Kristen is making it up and to then throw her the hell out.

Stefan goes to Chloe’s room at the Salem Inn and knocks on the door, saying he heard about her and Brady so he came to check on her. Stefan continues knocking but there’s no answer. Stefan then starts to walk away but Li Shin comes around the corner and says he hopes Stefan isn’t giving up on Chloe that easily.

Dr. Rolf begins packing his things in his lab and says a change of scenery can be good for the mind while a new lab means new work and new ideas. Dr. Rolf declares that Salem is nothing without Stefano anyway. Dr. Rolf then goes to leave right as Gabi arrives. Gabi questions if he’s going somewhere and remarks that he looks like he’s fleeing the scene of a crime. Dr. Rolf says he’s done nothing wrong so Gabi questions why he’s in such a hurry to leave. Dr. Rolf informs her that he’s leaving town and has a plane to catch. Gabi stops him and says he’s not going anywhere until they talk about what he did to Stefan.

Stefan tells Li that he’s not giving up on Chloe but since she’s not here, he’s giving up on knocking on her door. Li encourages him to just keep trying. Stefan thanks him but points out that he barely knows him. Li continues to encourage him and mentions that Chloe is with Brady at the moment. Stefan responds that it’s not his business, but Chloe and Brady are not together anymore.

Nicole goes to see Eric, who says he wants to understand why she fired him. Eric argues that it wasn’t because of budget reasons but because she and Rafe got in to a fight last night over them working together. Nicole questions how he learned that. Eric admits that Jada told him and explains that she overheard them fighting outside the Pub on her way home. Nicole apologizes. Eric just wishes she fired him in person. Eric guesses she came to get his badge but Nicole reveals that she came to rehire him because she wants him to stay which shocks him. Nicole adds that she also wants to forget this ever happened. Eric asks what about Rafe. Nicole says that when she told Rafe that she fired him, he was really upset and didn’t want to be the reason that Eric lost his job, so he pretty much insisted that she hire him back. Eric admits that’s really big of Rafe but decides maybe this isn’t such a good idea after all.

John explains to Marlena that Brady apparently felt the need to end things with Chloe for Rachel’s sake. Marlena says she understands the impulse and that Rachel doesn’t want someone to replace her mother. Marlena argues that Brady can’t succumb to every tantrum Rachel has. John brings up that Brady also said he didn’t have a choice. John isn’t sure what that means but thinks he has a pretty good idea. Marlena senses Kristen’s handy work.

Kristen tells Chloe that she’s sorry for catching her unaware and questions why Brady didn’t tell Chloe about their plans. Brady tells Chloe that he was going to tell her but he had no idea that Kristen was showing up here today. Chloe questions him knowing that she was moving in which Brady confirms. Chloe doesn’t understand and argues that this is Marlena’s house and he’s going to let the woman who spent a lifetime tormenting her move in. Kristen hoped they could conduct themselves as an adult. Chloe asks what John is going to think about this and tells Kristen to shove her snide remarks. Chloe understands Brady breaking up with her for Rachel’s sake but moving Kristen in is madness. Kristen tells Chloe to take this up with Brady and claims that it was all his idea.

Eric tells Nicole that working with her has clearly caused problems for her and Rafe, so he worries about causing those problems all over again. Nicole assures that it won’t happen since she and Rafe cleared the air and are much better now. Nicole starts to say that Rafe thought she rushed but stops. Eric asks what she was going to say. Nicole tries to say it was nothing but Eric says if she and Rafe cleared the air, they need to do the same. Nicole then admits that Rafe thought she rushed in to marrying him because of Eric which Eric questions. Nicole explains that Rafe thought she married him to avoid her feelings for Eric which she calls ridiculous. Eric asks if it is.

Chloe questions it being Brady’s idea to have Kristen move in. Brady says it’s obviously not ideal but Rachel wanted to spend time with her mom. Chloe questions Brady inflicting Kristen on to John and Marlena. Kristen calls it a time of healing. Chloe suggests shared custody being better than this. Kristen mocks Chloe for her input and blames Chloe for the judge not allowing shared custody. Chloe calls Kristen dangerous and unhinged. Kristen blames Chloe for this new living arrangement. Chloe argues that they can go back to the judge and make something else work that’s better than this. Brady tells Chloe that this is his only option which she questions. Chloe asks Brady why he is really doing this.

Li questions Stefan about Chloe and Brady breaking up. Stefan confirms that’s what Kristen said. Li asks what happened. Stefan says he doesn’t know as Kristen was so happy that he didn’t get a lot of the details. Li says that’s good for Stefan as now he has a clear shot with Chloe since Brady is out of the way, so it worked out for Stefan and Kristen. Stefan remarks that it worked out for Li too which he questions. Stefan says ever since he’s been back, Li has been shoving him at Chloe. Li points out that Stefan said he was in love with her. Stefan questions Li just wanting him to be happy and it having nothing to do with him being married to Gabi.

Dr. Rolf tells Gabi that all he did to Stefan was save his life. Gabi takes Dr. Rolf’s box of belongings and refuses to give it back until he tells her what else he did. Dr. Rolf claims not to know what she means. Gabi talks about Stefan being madly in love with her and now hating her, so she questions what he did. Gabi then breaks a glass tube from his box and threatens to destroy everything in the box and the entire lab if Dr. Rolf doesn’t start talking. Dr. Rolf repeats that all he did was bring Stefan back to life and how he was able to do so once Jake’s heart became available since they were twins. Gabi is shocked to learn Stefan has Jake’s heart. Dr. Rolf explains that he and Kristen tried to save Jake but after realizing it was a lost cause, he used his heart to bring Stefan back to life. Gabi argues that it’s not enough for her and breaks another one of his things. Dr. Rolf argues that he can’t help the way Stefan woke up and remarks that he believes it took a near-death experience for Stefan to realize that she wasn’t worthy of him. Gabi then grabs a scalpel and pins Dr. Rolf against the wall, threatening him to tell her what really happened or he’s a dead man and there won’t be anyone to save his life.

Eric apologizes to Nicole for asking as it’s none of his business but she says it’s okay. Nicole admits that dragging Rafe off to get married seemed like a knee jerk reaction but he was buried at work while in charge of Abigail’s murder investigation so she didn’t think they needed all that fuss and bother. Eric admits it makes sense. Nicole says she should have told Rafe that she was hiring Eric and it bothered him that she didn’t, so he started to question why she moved up the wedding and if it had something to do with them being at Abe and Paulina’s wedding. Nicole repeats that they cleared the air and now everything is fine. Eric says he’s glad. Nicole asks Eric if he’s now willing to come back to work for her.

John tells Marlena that he could point out that she thinks Kristen is responsible for every bad thing that’s ever happened but she’d be right. Marlena admits Kristen’s ferocity when it comes to Rachel scares her. John notes that Kristen will do anything to get her hands on Rachel. Marlena points out that Kristen wants Brady back too. John assures that won’t happen as he thinks Brady has finally seen the light about Kristen. Marlena responds that she wouldn’t be so sure as Brady does seem to have a weakness for Kristen. John insists that he doesn’t anymore and thanks God for that.

Brady pleads with Chloe to accept the fact that he’s doing this for Rachel. Chloe questions thinking this atmosphere will be healthy for Rachel. Kristen asks Brady to put an end to this and to tell Chloe it’s none of her business. Chloe agrees to leave. Chloe cries that she hated it but understands why he had to break up with her but after caving to Kristen, she doesn’t think she knows Brady anymore. Chloe then takes her things and storms out.

Li tells Stefan that given what he heard about him and Gabi, he was a bit thrown when he came back on the scene. Li brings up that Stefan keeps saying Gabi turns his stomach so he assumes that he no longer has feelings for her. Stefan acknowledges that when he “died”, his feelings for Gabi died with him, though he’s not entirely sure why. Li asks if it matters since it all worked out and he can be with Chloe now. Stefan points out that Li and Gabi can live their happily ever after.

Gabi demands Dr. Rolf start talking or he’ll be reunited with Stefano in Hell. Dr. Rolf doesn’t believe her. Gabi reminds him that she killed Nick Fallon and warns that she’s giving him one last chance to tell her what he did to Stefan. Gabi takes the scalpel to his throat until Dr. Rolf finally gives in and admits that he brainwashed Stefan. Gabi says she knew he made Stefan hate her. Gabi questions if he really hates her that much. Dr. Rolf says he does but it wasn’t personal and he was just following Kristen’s orders. Gabi asks why. Dr. Rolf explains that Kristen hoped if Stefan went after Chloe, he’d come between her and Brady. Gabi realizes that means Kristen could have Brady all to herself. Dr. Rolf adds that Kristen remembered Stefan’s previous feelings for Chloe so she asked him to pump up his attraction to her and rekindle his initial hatred of Gabi. Gabi questions this really having nothing to do with her. Dr. Rolf reveals that is what Kristen wanted but Li also wanted to protect his investment. Gabi questions Li knowing. Dr. Rolf confirms that Li knew all along that he had Stefan on ice. Dr. Rolf then reveals that the brainwashing was Li’s idea.

Li runs in to Rafe in the town square and says he was going to call him later. Li asks if Rafe has time for a drink because there’s something he would like to ask him. Rafe says sure so Li tells him he’s about to hit him up for a favor as they sit together. Li informs Rafe that he was wondering if he would be his best man which surprises him. Li knows they aren’t old friends but he thinks it would mean a lot to Gabi because of how close they are. Rafe guesses this means they have set a date. Li says not yet but now that Gabi and Stefan are divorced, there’s nothing stopping them. Rafe remarks that’s unless Stefan isn’t acting of his own free will.

Chloe goes home and questions what Stefan is doing outside of her door. Stefan says he was just leaving her a note as he heard she and Brady broke up. Chloe asks if he’s here to zero in on her when she’s down. Stefan responds that he’s actually here to check on her and make sure she’s okay. Chloe asks if Kristen told him that she’s moving in with Brady. Stefan says she didn’t. Chloe talks about Kristen having a lot of fun telling her and rubbing her nose in it. Stefan says he’s sorry. Chloe asks why since people break up every day so it’s no big deal as she then breaks down crying. Stefan hugs her as she cries.

Kristen sits on the couch and puts her feet up, talking about how she’s enjoying this because she’s been waiting for this for a long time. Brady talks about Rachel being sharp and wise for her age. Brady says Rachel’s feelings towards Kristen have to do with Kristen not being around and having convinced her that she was taken away. Brady says it’s worked because Rachel doesn’t even know who Kristen really is. Kristen asks if this is going somewhere. Brady points out that Rachel loves John and Marlena. Brady warns that if she tries to pull the same crap she pulled with Chloe with John and Marlena, it will register with Rachel that Kristen only gives a damn about herself. Brady advises Kristen to rethink this family thing and spending a lot of time with Rachel because it will be really hard for Kristen to maintain that maternal illusion. Brady doesn’t think it will hold up when Rachel says no to Kristen. Kristen asks if he’s done. Brady calls it food for thought. Kristen warns Brady to never question her relationship with her daughter again and reminds him that she has the upper hand, permanently. Kristen declares that if she wants them to be a family and live here then they will because as only they know, Marlena and her friends will need more doses of the serum or they will die. Kristen remarks that couples fight and then they kiss and make up and get on with their lives.

Nicole and Eric go to work at Basic Black. Nicole finishes a call and informs Eric that the model thought the photoshoot was cancelled, so she flew back home and she needed to get these photos done for Bella Magazine today. Nicole worries that Brady and Chloe are going to kill her. Eric then suggests Nicole be the model herself. Eric calls her the best model he ever worked with and insists it will be fine.

Li guesses that Gabi told Rafe her theory that Dr. Rolf somehow brainwashed Stefan which Rafe confirms. Li calls it just wishful thinking or a wounded ego as it’s hard for Gabi to accept how Stefan feels about her now. Rafe guesses they will be finding out soon enough. Li asks what he means. Rafe then reveals that Gabi is grilling Dr. Rolf as they speak.

Gabi argues that Li wouldn’t do that to her. Dr. Rolf confirms that he did because he wants her to himself and didn’t want to lose her to Stefan to the extent that he tried to murder Stefan in his sleep but Kristen wouldn’t let that happen so Li pitched the idea of brainwashing Stefan which Kristen got on board with. Gabi complains that she can’t think about all of that and demands that Dr. Rolf reverse the brainwashing. Dr. Rolf responds that he had already created an antidote but it was in his box, so he notes that it would be ironic if Gabi destroyed that too. Gabi lets Dr. Rolf go and orders him to get the antidote from his box. Dr. Rolf reveals a syringe and declares that with one dose of it, Stefan will be back to normal. Dr. Rolf then grabs Gabi and injects her with the syringe instead, causing her to pass out.

Chloe and Stefan go in to her room. Stefan imagines her encounter with Kristen was rough as she’s not exactly a gracious winner. Chloe cries that it’s hard enough that Brady broke up with her but to let Kristen move in with him is sickening. Chloe wishes she could get on a plane and get out of Salem. Stefan tells her to wait there as he has an idea and then exits the room.

John brings Marlena home where Brady greets them and hugs Marlena. Marlena says she’s never been so happy to be anywhere in her life. John wants to get Marlena in bed but Marlena says she just wants to sit here and enjoy not having people come in to ask how she’s feeling. Brady didn’t know she was coming home today and says there is something he has to tell them. Marlena asks what it is. Kristen then comes out from the back and welcomes them home.

Nicole puts on a dress to model in and asks Eric how she looks. Eric tells her that she looks great and talks about preparing the photoshoot. Eric starts taking photos and encourages that the camera loves her.

Kristen tells Marlena that she looks so much better as she looked like she was on death’s door at the hospital. John questions what she’s doing here. Kristen excitedly asks if Brady wants to tell them or if she should.

Stefan returns to Chloe’s room with bags and says that she said she wanted to leave Salem but they can’t because of their jobs, so he decided to recreate Miami like they did before at Doug’s Place. Chloe appreciates it but says she’s really in a terrible mood. Stefan insists on making her a margarita.

Li is shocked and can’t believe that Rafe let Gabi go to Dr. Rolf’s lab by herself. Rafe responds that she didn’t ask his permission. Li decides has to get there and gets up to go. Rafe reminds him that he’ll need the address. Li tells Rafe to just text it to him. Gabi then approaches and informs Li that she was taking to Dr. Rolf. Li notes that Rafe just told him and asks what Dr. Rolf said. Gabi starts to respond but stops and says she lost her train of thought as Rafe asks what he said. Gabi then says that Dr. Rolf said he didn’t do anything to turn Stefan against her and for some weird reason, she believes him.

Dr. Rolf declares that Li was right that he’ll be better off leaving Salem since he won’t have lunatics barging in on him whenever they feel like it. Dr. Rolf calls Gabi the craziest of them all and says thank God he had the vial of CRS-17, so Gabi won’t remember a thing.

Rafe tells Gabi that no one, especially her, ever believes Dr. Rolf. Gabi argues that she held a scalpel to his throat and he still didn’t say anything. Rafe comments that she shouldn’t tell a cop about that. Li asks if Gabi believes Dr. Rolf. Gabi confirms that she does and thinks it’s for the best as it makes moving on a lot easier. Li is so glad to hear her say that and announces that he just asked Rafe to be his best man at their wedding. Gabi calls that a great idea. Li points out that he’s actually still waiting for an answer. Rafe then says it would be his pleasure and they shake hands. Gabi thanks Rafe. Gabi hopes their marriage is as happy as Rafe and Nicole’s.

Nicole and Eric look over her modeling photos together. Nicole says they are great. Eric says she still has it. Nicole comments that after all these years, they still make a great team.

Stefan and Chloe have margaritas together. Chloe admits her drink is kind of perfect and calls this the nicest thing anyone has done for her in awhile as she thanks him.

Marlena questions Kristen living here with them which she excitedly confirms and calls great. Kristen says she has to get back to the kitchen so she doesn’t burn their first dinner together as a family. John thinks Brady has some serious explaining to do.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Hey there. How about some lunch? Oh, I’d love to, but I have a shoot this afternoon. Oh, I thought you were still taking some time off. Well, I would, but mom and the girls are doing much better. That serum is actually working like gangbusters and I’m back at work, so I’m speaking the Devil . I should probably do away with that saying here and saying Home, but it’s from basic black corporate.

What?

I just got fired.

Oh, no, I’m late. I’m, I’m sorry. I’m sorry. No, no. It’s, it’s okay. I, I assumed you and Brady were gonna have a late night at the hospital, but hey, you know what? Good news about the cure for Marle and the others. Yeah, no, it’s, it’s such a relief and I’m, I’m assuming, I’m assuming Brady had a late night. It wasn’t with me.

He dumped me.

Hey dude. Hey dad. I just have to pick up some patient files for Doc and then I’m outta here. God forbid she should take off one day from work while she’s recovering. That doesn’t surprise me a bit. Well, I tell you, that serum suddenly appearing, that was surprising. Not to mention damn lucky for us. Yeah, yeah.

No, we, we, we got lucky on that one.

everything alright. Yeah, yeah. No, the fact that, I mean all, all three women. You know, feeling better and seemingly cured. I mean, it’s, it’s the best news ever. It really is. Yeah. So why are you trying to fool your old man? Because there’s something you’re not saying here. What’s, uh, what’s going on? What’s eating at you

to your health? Ladies, you’re welcome. Hmm. And little, do you know what your miraculous recovery is giving me?

Yes. Yes, Yes. I need you to be straight with me. Kristin. Did you mess with my brain?

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

You broke up with Chloe. I I don’t understand that. It’s not about Chloe. Yeah. What’s it about? It’s about Rachel. All right. I, I understand that she blames Chloe for not letting her see Kristen, but come on, kid. That can’t be you. Well, it is, it is. Dad. I can’t put that little, little girl through much more. I mean, I look at that little heartbroken look on her face, think about what she’s been through.

I know it’s not fair to Chloe and the way I did, but. Rachel comes first, right? Yeah. Yeah. I, I get all of that. It’s just so out of the blue. I mean, last I heard you were gonna sit Rachel down, you were gonna talk to her and try to get her understand, and you were hopeful that eventually she would come around.

So what the hell happened to make you stop all that to suddenly just take such a drastic step? After you break it off with Chloe, you reconcile with me and you and I and Rachel become a loving family. And don’t you dare think you can just turn around and dump me after they’re all cured. You see wolf?

Said that they’re all going to need a second dose in a few months and then maybe a booster after of that, and I am the only one that can see to it that they all get it. You and I are in long haul, Brady. That it was only sudden to you because you’ve been preoccupied. Oh, don’t I know it. I just hate to see you just, just throw away something so great here when you thoroughly haven’t thought this through.

Well, that, that, that’s where you robbed that. I’ve thought it through. I just don’t have a choice.

I think you’re pardon. Okay. Don’t get me wrong, Kristin. I am. To you for everything that you have done for me, everything you did to bring me back. But it’s Gabby, it’s my feelings for her. It’s almost as if something was done to my brain before I was revived and you were there, which is why I am asking you, Kristin, why do I hate Gabby so much?

Come on, RAVs, fill the team we had. Go on. I, um, walked in on her comforting, air, comforting. It was a, it was a hug. Gay was, it was completely understandable. Given the circumstances. They’ve always been close. Eric’s mom, and she’s really sick, right? And their marriage. It didn’t end the way that she wanted or the way that that he wanted.

And you know, so it was, it was, you know, kind of dramatic and sudden. Yeah. You know, mayor attending is never ideal, Rafe. Exactly, yes. So it is completely understandable that they still have these unresolved feelings. Yeah. In the meantime, you just got more and more frustrated. Yeah. Yeah, I did. Which I guess that’s why I, uh, exploded and I rant like a kind of stream of consciousness.

Um, Yeah. Like I’m the one you’re married to. He’s not your husband, I’m your husband, blah, blah, blah. And since that went over so well, you slept here. Yeah.

Yeah. Well, um, you’re not where you’re supposed to be. Hmm. Yeah, tell me about it. No, no. Wherever Nicole is, that’s where you should be trying to fix this together.

Brady wants to be a good father, obviously, so he’s, I put Rachel first and he’s as upset as I am, but he keeps saying he doesn’t have a. I just can’t believe Kristin is using her daughter like this things, things were so good for braiding me this time around and it happened so quickly and it was great and it ended just as quickly.

Chloe, I am so sorry. I mean I’ve, I know what it’s like because I think I might be, And it’s my own damn fault. Fired. Why? What does it say? It doesn’t really, it’s, it’s all we regret to inform you that your services are no longer required. Unfortunate situation for all involved. Budgetary restraints mandated downsizing.

But that, that doesn’t make any sense. They just hired you, man. I agree with you. But EJ DeMar, he just took over the parent company this morning, so I’m sure he had something to do with it. Is the email from him? No,

it’s from Nicole.

No, no, that’s, Yeah, I think that that’s a, it’s a bad idea cause if I go home, Nicole and I can end up getting it around to, and then we both end up losing. The problem is I let this go on for too long. It’s my fault. No, no. You were being patient. Right. If you were hoping things would change, you were hoping that you were overreacting and you were giving Nicole the benefit of the doubt, which is what Lee’s been doing with me.

You mean since Stephan came back. Right. Um, but it’s, it’s mot now. Anyway, Stephan served me divorce papers this morning, so if there was anything lingering in, in my mind at least, it’s definitely long gone and I love Lee. Yeah, I’m sorry. No, that must have been tough. I mean, the last thing I expected was to see stuff in alive again, but for him to be alive and hating me, but I, you know, I just, I, I need to get over, I need to accept the fact that the person that I loved with all my heart, the one that I thought loved, Back the exact same way, just actually finds me repulsive and he’s disgusted by me.

But you know what? Do you know what that is? It’s crazy. Come on man. Look at you sis. You’re beautiful. You’re successful, you’re smart, You’re, you’re Charma. I mean, you have all these things. No, you know. No, he’s crazy. He was damn lucky to have had you. Okay. . He has spoken like a loyal brother. Well spoken like someone who knows.

What a catch you. Yeah, well, I, um, thank you. But, um, I’ve accepted the fact that it’s never gonna work out for me and Stephan, but, you know, I just wish what I, I just can’t get rid of this nagging feeling that, that quack wolf did something to stuff and something to make him feel this way. But, uh, Wolf, Bird himself, underground, like the rat he is, and well, I can’t find him, Can’t track him down to confront him about it.

Gabby, I can tell you where to find him.

Thumbs he cops and in there intrusive search warrants, walking thumbs if you ask me. Jim Li and Dexterously deficient. It’s quite the mess. Thanks there. Those fools in blue all. I may have a solution for you. And what would that be? Leave it the way it is. I don’t mean to offend, sir, but have you lost your damn mind?

What you need is a new lab, clean and orderly state of the art. Oh, what a wonderful idea. Shall I write to Santa Claus? Ho, ho ho. A new love gleaming. Brand Spanking, new outfitted with everything your bad little heart could desire. Right down to the last test tube. I would like to see this place actually.

So a little more involved than jumping in the car and chanting over. How far are we talking? Exactly? How about 10,000 miles? I was actually shocked. You know, I just never seen Ray so upset and so angry. I’m so sorry. No, he didn’t even return my calls or my texts. And now Chloe, I I, I can’t stop thinking about that day.

I, I woke up when I had that dream about Eric, The sex dream. Yes. That one. No, I just, I couldn’t, I couldn’t stop myself. I couldn’t stay away. No, I, I had to go see him and just my luck, Jada was there. I lied, of course, about why I was there, and then the lie just kept going. You know, my reaction to that dream and all the feelings, it stirred up.

That is the sole reason Eric ended up working here,

but now that’s taken care of,

fired by. It’s classy. Hmm. Well, at least it wasn’t a text. Yeah. Well, maybe EJ forced her hand. Maybe it wasn’t about budget after all. Or maybe, maybe it’s just, you know, I’ve been outta the game for a while. Maybe I’m just not, not good anymore. All right. Look, if I did, if I did come to you and say that I wanted to hire Eric, what would you have said?

I would’ve said, It’s a terrible idea, Nicole. Why? Because there is no way in hell I want Eric working together with my wife, Jada. What is it? I, I think I know why this happened.

What? What do you mean? How? How could you know? Okay. Remember last night at the hospital and you asked me to go to the pub to let your father know about the serum? Mm-hmm. . Well, when I got there, brave and Nicole were outside and they were arguing. I didn’t mean to ease drop, but I was kind of stuck. If I would’ve went inside, they would’ve saw me.

So I just stayed where I was at a sight and I ended up catching the tail end of their fight. So what were Nicole and Ray arguing about?

You

wait. Oh my God. Right. You know where. Yeah, we rated his secret lab the other day. We suspected that he had the serum that could cure Kate, Kayla, and Marlena. But we didn’t find the serum, but we did find Ralph. So if I were looking for him, that’s where I’d start. I’m gonna go right now. Now hold on a second.

You want to go? I’m gonna send a uniform with you. Let guys Dangerous. Not afraid of that nutty old creep. No, I don’t. I don’t need an escort, but,

A what I, I just want answers since the minute that Stephan showed up and rejected me, Reef, I’m kinda overwhelmed thinking that I, I might get the truth.

Ah, s Stephen, I’m not your enemy. You are my brother and I love. And if I can help you, I will. But I mean, even if I could manipulate your feelings for Gabby, why would I wanna do that? I mean, she and I were allies when I backed her against EJ at the company. So if you two were together, I would love that.

I’d be happy for you. Hmm.

Does that make sense?

So maybe I’ve been thinking about this the wrong way. Maybe. No, obviously you’re not anti gammy, right? Maybe you’re just pro chloey.

You had no choice but to break things off. The Chloe’s son. There is always a choice. No, I know. I know that I. I didn’t mean for it to come out the way it did. That came out very angry and very abruptly. I’m sorry, I’m, I’m obviously, my emotions are a little hot on this topic right now, but what I meant to say was, when it comes to your children’s welfare, you do what’s best for them, right?

No matter what end of story. That’s it. No matter what the cost to you personally, or even if it’s a deep emotional cost, you stick by your kid. You do what you need to do for your kid, right? You’re a dad, you get it. You’re a great. Am I right?

Yeah, of course. And I respect your, your, your decision, your devotion to your daughter. I’m just sorry to see Chloe go.

Wait, so you, you fired him in an. Were there no carrier pigeons available. Okay. I took the easy way out. I know. I didn’t even give Eric a reason why I let him go. I just made up some stuff about budget cuts and downsizing. Oh no. But it was the right thing to do. I mean, Ray was so upset about Eric and he was so brutally honest about it.

I didn’t have a. What, why, why are you looking at me like that? I, I, I’m just wondering why did you really fire Eric? Did I not just explain that? I sort of, But is it because you’re feeling guilty about lying to ra or is there more or more, More meaning, do you wanna get back on track with ra? Do you want your marriage to.

I’d like to know the answer to that myself.

So this is all about something that RA said Rafe was upset about Nicole hiring you, and he said it was a terrible idea and that he wished that she would’ve talked to him about it so that he could tell her. So he is jealous of me. Of Nicole’s feelings for you. Yeah.

So she fired me. This save marriage.

I should look at you two talk.

I’m glad you’re here. Very glad this, this is so hard. I, I, I don’t even know where to start. Okay. Well then let me please,

I’m sorry. I am, I lost my temper and I said things that I shouldn’t have said. I should be the one apologizing. I pushed back on everything you said last night, and I wasn’t listening, and I didn’t understand your feelings. Listen, I, I just wanted to let you know where I was emotionally. I, um,

I said things that I shouldn’t have said and, and just that’s not how I wanted to handle it. Don’t blame yourself. I, I was unfair to you. It’s too much to ask. You know, me still being so close to Eric and Jada is his girlfriend and it’s her place to console him if things go bad or get bad for him. I mean, it’s not mine, right?

And he doesn’t need me to employ him.

But I am, I want you to know, I heard you loud and clear last night. You said that Eric working here was a terrible idea. Yeah. So I, I did something about it. What? I fired Eric. Oh, you shouldn’t have done that.

I shouldn’t have pushed you so hard about Chloe. That’s, that’s, that’s your business. I’m gonna just pick up this stuff for Dr. Do you need help with that? I can help you. No, no. I’m good kid. Thanks.

Hey, you know, I know that you don’t need me or anybody else twisting your arm to do what you think is right. Thank you

that Marla. She’s, she’s, she’s, she’s doing good, right? It’s working. She’s getting better. Kate and Kayla. It’s a miracle. No other word for it. I’m so glad. I mean, that’s the best news ever. Yeah. Somebody up there likes us, or. Doc, but a wood beats me . But in reality, we both know that that serum didn’t just drop from the heavens.

No, it didn’t. I don’t know if it came from Dr. Ralph or somebody else. It came from somebody else. I don’t have a clue who that is, but you know what? I’m not gonna look at gift twice in the. I just need to be sure that serum’s gonna keep working here. It’s gonna gimme my peace of mind. Absolutely, Dad. In the meantime, I’m just gonna stay optimistic that I know your feeling a bit skeptical about it, but my gut tells me that if everything’s gonna be just fine, That serum is working.

Doesn’t matter where it came from. That’s what we need to hold onto

Jakarta. You’re going to love it. Trust me. You’re just trying to get rid of me. We both stand to gain from this wolf, Dr. Wolf, and I don’t see what I stand to gain from ex. The police already suspect you to be linked to the disease that struck those women down. Take a look around Salem’s. No place for you to be right now.

Fair enough. I don’t like it, but I see your point. Good. How long will it take for you to get your things together? My most important work is kept off. It is simple. Much. I need to pack up here. All right, then you’re private jet waits. I still feel like I’m running. That’s because you are doctor, but there’s no shame in it and the police are not your only concern.

Gabby’s trying to find you. She wants to know if you brainwash Stephan into hating her, you may not. Under the police lights, but Gabby’s a whole other beast. You don’t want that. I certainly don’t, and neither does. Kristen,

it’s interesting you think that I did terrible mind altering things to you. You know, I spent all this money, time, and effort to play match. For Chloe to play Matchmaker for Brady in you Christian, it’s no secret. You have an obsession with Brady and Chloe was in the way, and I then miraculously coincidentally, wake up from this four year long nap.

With this intense disgust for Gabby and an equally as intense longing for Chloe. So, yes, that’s the only way I can explain it. Right. You know, I can’t speak to your feelings. So you think that I needed to, uh, have you want Chloe so that I could get to Brady? Yes, it makes sense. Except for one detail when that obviously escaped your attention.

Brady and Chloe are no more. Stephan, they broke up. No thanks to me. So. Well, they’re, in other words, she’s free, free.

Call me from the hospital with any updates. You got it yet?

Whoa. Hi, Chloe. John, I’m, I’m sorry, my interrupt. No, no, not at all. I’m just heading back to the hospital. Oh. How’s everything going over there? Fine. Thanks for asking. Getting better minute by minute. In fact, I don’t even want to think about what would’ve happened if that serum hadn. Dropped from. Well, I’m so happy for you.

It’s good to see you. Good to see.

Stuff in you. Okay. I didn’t mean to pull the rug out for, How do you know this? Where did you find this out? The good news travels fast in Salem. It just proves my point. Chloe and Brady were a ticking time. Look, I know, I know that you’re still unsettled, but part of it I’m sure has to do with this wonderful news about Chloe.

I can imagine that you still have some lingering doubts about your feelings before the four years when you were gone versus now, here’s my theory. See, in the back of your head, you had four years to resolve your conflicting feelings towards Chloe and Gabby, and then you woke up with this new sense of.

Yeah, you finally figured it all out and now you’re finally going after what you truly want. Yeah, I mean, this is just my opinion, Stephan. I mean, you can trust me, but um, I would trust your gut, right.

Sorry for bursting in here like this. You should really get going. Of course,

about.

Sorry little brother. I do feel a little bad for you, but I don’t need you to come between Brady and Chloe anymore. I guess it’s better safe than sorry. Leaving is the best option. Better safe than sorry. Yes. I’m not intimidated by Ms. Hernandez, unlike you. I can handle her . You’re a genius, Dr. Wolf and an idiot, Gabby’s a lion.

This she get the truth out of you in two seconds. She’s that formidable. So please stop fighting. Shak Carter’s lovely this time of year, and it has the added benefit of being out of the jurisdiction of the other Hernandez in your way. Gabby’s older brother, police commissioner.

I’ll need a little time to get my things in order. Good. I’ll send a car to take you to the airport. You’re doing the right thing.

I don’t understand. I, I thought I did the right thing. Right? Yeah. I mean, obviously we’re supposed to be partner. This isn’t a good patch that we’re in. I don’t know what happens next, but I do know that I don’t want you to fire Eric on account of me. I don’t just, I don’t want that on my shoulders. Okay, well, Kathryn, what do you want?

I did what I did to help fix us, but it hasn’t obviously, so.

So what’s the next step? Where do we stand?

Pleases Rafe, Just tell me what I can do. Tell me what you.

I want us to be. Okay.

So do I. But after last night, is that even possible? I mean, you didn’t even come home. No, I know, I know, I know. And I’m sorry. Okay. I was, I was just worried if I did then, uh, I was just gonna make things.

Or maybe coulda worked things out and had incredible makeup sex. Oh my. Why didn’t I think of that? What I do know is that I missed you so much. I missed you too.

Oh, sorry.

It’s the station I gotta get down there. When I see you tonight, I will be there.

Promise.

Um,

I know you feel bad for sharing what you overheard, but thank. I’m glad to know. It looks like I’m not going to shoot After all. My afternoon is gonna be free, so if you’d like, we can have a lunch here. Work on my resume. . Well, actually my lunch break’s just about over. I’m sorry, I talked cheer off. No, don’t be, But listen, I gotta hit back some station, but how about dinner?

Great, Nate. Okay, but you have to pay

Wait, what are you doing here? Uh, yeah, I’m, I’m sorry. I won’t, I won’t be long. I just, um, I love some things in your bedroom. Oh, yeah, yeah. I’m sorry. You can go, go, go ahead. You can.

Chloe.

Hey. Hey. I’m sorry. I, I feel, I feel really terrible. You know that, right? Well, yeah. That makes it two of us. But I know why you did what you did. Okay.

Got a minute, boss. Sure. What’s up? Uh, this is kind of awkward, but, uh, I accidentally heard some of the fight between you and Nicole last night. Huh? I see. Yeah. Uh, yeah. Not my best moment. And, uh, Sorry you had to hear that. Yeah, I, I really did not mean to overhear, um, I just felt that you should know that I also told Eric what I heard.

Oh, really? Okay. Well, surprised to hear you say that. Well, I was with Eric and he got an email from Nicole and he got fired. He was, he was so confused and, and I just didn’t know how to help him, so I just felt that he should know, Hey, Dave, don’t worry about it. It’s okay. All right. It’s, uh, everything’s gonna gonna work out fine.

Okay? It’s just, um, You know what I, I want you to know that I never told Nicole to fire Eric. In fact, I told her that it was a mistake and she should, she should rehire, You know, I gotta be able to trust my wife.

Cole, I was hoping you were here. Well, I’m not at work. Right. Um, anyway, I, I just, I wanted to explain the email I wrote earlier, even though it says that we’re reassessing the budget and mm-hmm. and making cuts. I know that’s not the reason why you fired. I know it’s about your marriage.

What are you doing here? No, we talked about this. I just broke up with Chloe last night. Okay. You only got, I need some more time. Dammit. To what? Get over her. I helped you dodge a bullet Brady, so the sooner you realize that, the better. Hello? Chloe? Uh, Brady,

What is this? I guess you didn’t have the chance to tell you I’m moving it.

Days of Our Lives Update

Update written by Joseph

Jada joins Eric in his room and invites him to lunch. Eric says he’d love to but he has a photoshoot today. Jada thought he was still taking time off but Eric says that since Marlena, Kate, and Kayla are doing so much better because the serum is really working, he’s back at work. Eric then gets a text from Basic Black Corporate and then informs Jada that he just got fired.

Nicole sits at Basic Black and shuts her laptop. Chloe arrives and apologizes for being late. Nicole tells her it’s okay as she assumed Chloe and Brady would have a late night at the hospital but she’s glad to hear the good news about Marlena and the others. Chloe cries that she’s assuming Brady had a late night but it wasn’t with her because he dumped her.

John comes home to Brady and says he’s just picking up patient files for Marlena since she doesn’t want to take a day off work while recovering. John talks about being surprised that the serum showed up. Brady agrees that they got lucky. John asks him if everything is alright. Brady says the fact that Marlena, Kate, and Kayla are seemingly cured is the best news ever. John questions why he’s trying to fool him then and what he’s not saying.

Kristen sits in her apartment, reading the article in the Spectator about Kate, Kayla, and Marlena being cured by a mystery serum. Kristen toasts a glass of champagne to their recovery and says they don’t know what it has given her. Stefan shows up and tells Kristen to be straight with him as he asks if she messed with his brain.

Brady informs John that he broke up with Chloe. John doesn’t understand. Brady explains that it’s not about Chloe but about Rachel. John understands that Rachel blames Chloe for not letting her see Kristen but argues that can’t be it. Brady claims that it is as he can’t put Rachel through much more. Brady knows it’s not fair to Chloe, but says Rachel comes first. John calls it so out of the blue since he was hopeful that Rachel would come around. John questions what the hell happened to make him stop all that and take such a drastic step. Brady thinks back to Kristen’s demands. Brady then tells John that it was only sudden to him because he’s been preoccupied. John argues that he hates to see Brady throw something so great away without thinking it through. Brady responds that he has thought it through and he doesn’t have a choice.

Stefan tells Kristen that he’s grateful to her for everything she did to bring him back but it’s his feelings for Gabi. Stefan says it’s almost as if something was done to his brain before he was revived and she was there, so she would know. Stefan asks Kristen why he hates Gabi so much.

Gabi visits Rafe in his office at the police station and asks him to spill the tea. Rafe informs Gabi that he and Nicole had a fight after he walked in on her comforting Eric with a hug. Rafe says it was understandable as they’ve always been close and Marlena was really sick. Rafe talks about how Nicole and Eric’s marriage didn’t end the way they imagined so it’s understandable that they still have unresolved feelings. Rafe admits he got more and more frustrated and exploded in a rant at Nicole, so he slept in his office. Gabi tells Rafe that he’s not where he’s supposed to be. Gabi tells him that he should be with Nicole, trying to fix this together.

Chloe cries to Nicole that Brady wants to be a good father so he’s put Rachel first and he is as upset as she is, but he keeps saying he doesn’t have a choice. Nicole can’t believe Kristen is using her daughter like this. Chloe says things were so good for her and Brady this time as it happened so quickly but it ended just as quickly. Nicole tells her that she’s so sorry but she knows what it’s like because she thinks she might be next and it’s her own damn fault.

Jada questions why Eric was fired. Eric reads the message which just says his services are no longer required. Jada argues that it doesn’t make any sense since they just hired him. Eric agrees but insists that EJ must have had something to do with it. Jada asks if the e-mail is from EJ. Eric sees that it is not and that it’s from Nicole.

Rafe tells Gabi that he thinks it’s a bad idea because if he goes home, he and Nicole could end up in round two and then they both end up losing. Rafe blames himself for letting this go too long. Gabi understands that Rafe was hoping it would go away and giving Nicole the benefit of the doubt like Li has been doing with her since Stefan came back. Gabi informs Rafe that Stefan served her divorce papers this morning, so it’s definitely long gone and she loves Li. Rafe is sorry as he knows that must have been tough. Gabi says she never expected to see Stefan alive again but she needs to get over it and accept that the person she loved with all her heart finds her repulsive and is disgusted by her. Rafe calls that crazy and insists that Gabi is beautiful, successful, and smart. Rafe argues that Stefan was lucky to have had Gabi. Gabi calls him a loyal brother and thanks him but says she’s accepted the fact that it will never work out for her and Stefan. Gabi adds that she can’t get rid of the feeling that Dr. Rolf did something to Stefan to make him feel this way but Rolf is hiding underground so she can’t track him down to confront him about it. Rafe reveals that he can tell her where to find Dr. Rolf.

Dr. Rolf cleans up his lab while complaining about the cops searching his lab. Li arrives and calls it quite the mess. Li informs Dr. Rolf that he may have a solution and suggests he leave the lab the way it is. Dr. Rolf asks if he lost his mind. Li responds that he needs a new lab with everything he could desire. Dr. Rolf would like to see it. Li says it’s a little more involved than just a drive. Dr. Rolf asks how far away they are talking. Li reveals it’s 10,000 miles away.

Nicole tells Chloe that she was shocked because she’s never seen Rafe so upset and angry. Chloe says she’s sorry. Nicole adds that Rafe hasn’t returned her calls and texts. Nicole can’t stop thinking about the day she had a sex dream about Eric and how she had to go see him, then Jada was there so she lied about why she was there. Nicole says her reaction to the dream and the feelings it stirred up is the sole reason that Eric ended up working at Basic Black. Nicole declares that it’s now taken care of.

Jada comments on Eric being fired by e-mail. Eric wonders if EJ forced Nicole or if he’s just not that good anymore. Jada thinks back to seeing Rafe and Nicole arguing about Eric working with Nicole. Eric then asks Jada what it is. Jada reveals that she thinks she knows why this happened. Eric questions what she means and how she could know. Jada reminds Eric that he asked her to go to the Pub to let Roman know about the serum last night. Jada informs him that when she got there, Rafe and Nicole were arguing outside and she didn’t mean to eavesdrop but she didn’t want to interrupt so she caught the end of their fight. Eric asks what they were arguing about. Jada responds that it was about Eric.

Gabi questions Rafe knowing where Dr. Rolf is. Rafe informs her that they raided his secret lab the other day, thinking they would find the serum. Rafe says they didn’t find it but they did find Dr. Rolf so he suggests starting there. Gabi decides she’s going. Rafe wants to send a cop with her but Gabi says she’s not afraid of Dr. Rolf and doesn’t need an escort. Gabi says she’s been wanting answers since the day that Stefan showed up and rejected her, so she’s kind of overwhelmed that she might get the truth.

Kristen tells Stefan that she’s not his enemy. Kristen says he’s her brother and she loves him, so if she could help him she would. Kristen questions why she would want to manipulate his feelings for Gabi even if she could. Kristen says that she and Gabi were allies against EJ at DiMera Enterprises and claims that she would love it if Stefan and Gabi were together. Stefan guesses that makes sense. Stefan says maybe he was thinking about it wrong since Kristen is obviously not anti-Gabi, so maybe she’s just pro-Chloe.

John questions Brady saying he had no choice but to break up with Chloe and argues that there’s always a choice. Brady claims he didn’t mean it to come out like that and says he’s doing what’s best for his child no matter what. Brady calls John a great dad so he gets it. John respects Brady’s decision and devotion to support his daughter, but he’s just sorry to see Chloe go.

Chloe questions Nicole firing Eric in an e-mail. Nicole admits that she took the easy way out and didn’t even give him a reason why. Nicole calls it the right thing to do since Rafe was so upset about Eric and brutally honest about it, so she didn’t have a choice. Chloe wonders why Nicole really fired Eric. Nicole says she just explained that. Chloe asks if it’s because she’s feeling guilty about lying to Rafe or if there’s more. Chloe questions if Nicole wants to get back on track with Rafe and for her marriage to work. Rafe then walks in and declares that he’d like to know the answer to that himself.

Eric asks Jada if this is all about something Rafe said. Jada confirms that Rafe was upset about Nicole hiring Eric and said that it was a terrible idea. Eric questions Rafe being jealous of him. Jada confirms that he’s jealous of Nicole’s feelings for him. Eric realizes that Nicole fired him to save her marriage.

Chloe decides to let Nicole and Rafe talk, so she exits the office. Nicole tells Rafe that she’s very glad he’s there. Nicole says this is so hard and she doesn’t know where to start. Rafe starts by apologizing for losing his temper and saying things he shouldn’t have said. Nicole feels she should be apologizing for pushing back on everything he said. Rafe says he just wanted to let her know where he was at emotionally. Rafe repeats that he said things he shouldn’t have said and that’s not how he wanted to handle it. Nicole tells him not to blame himself because she was unfair to him by being so close with Eric. Nicole acknowledges that it’s Jada’s place to console Eric and not hers. Nicole says that Eric doesn’t need her to employ him. Nicole wants Rafe to know that she heard him loud and clear last night when he said that Eric working here was a terrible idea, so she did something about it. Nicole informs Rafe that she fired Eric. Rafe responds that she shouldn’t have done that.

John apologizes to Brady for pushing him so hard about Chloe when it’s his business. John knows Brady doesn’t need him twisting his arm to do what he thinks is right. Brady asks if Marlena is doing good and getting better along with Kate and Kayla. John calls it a miracle and says there’s no other word for it. Brady calls that the best news ever. John declares that in reality, they both know the serum didn’t just drop from the heavens. John doesn’t have a clue where it came from but he just wants to be sure the serum will keep working. John says he will stay optimistic. Brady knows John feels skeptical about it, but his gut tells him that everything’s going to be just fine and the serum is working, so it doesn’t matter where it came from.

Dr. Rolf questions Li trying to get rid of him. Li says they both stand to gain from this but Dr. Rolf disagrees. Li reminds him that the police already suspect him to be linked to the disease that struck Kayla, Marlena, and Kate so Salem is not the place for him right now. Dr. Rolf reluctantly agrees with him and says he doesn’t have much to pack. Li tells Dr. Rolf that his private jet awaits. Dr. Rolf still feels like he’s running. Li says that he is but there’s no shame in that. Li adds that the police are not the only ones looking for him as Gabi is too. Li says that Gabi wants to know if he brainwashed Stefan in to hating her and warns that he doesn’t want that nor does Kristen.

Kristen questions Stefan thinking she did all these mind altering things to play matchmaker for Chloe. Stefan clarifies that it would be for Kristen and Brady. Stefan says it’s no secret that Kristen’s been obsessed with Brady and that Chloe was in her way while he then miraculously and coincidentally woke up from a four year long nap with this intense disgust for Gabi and an equally intense longing for Chloe. Stefan says that’s the only way he can explain it. Kristen admits it makes sense but points out the detail that Brady and Chloe broke up which she claims was no thanks to her. Kristen tells Stefan that means Chloe is free.

Brady tells John to call him from the hospital with any updates which he agrees to do. John goes to leave right as Chloe arrives. Chloe asks how everything is going at the hospital. John says Marlena is getting better by the minute and he doesn’t even want to think about what would’ve happened if the serum hadn’t dropped from the heavens. Chloe says she’s happy for him. John says it’s good to see her as he then exits.

Stefan questions how Kristen knows about Brady and Chloe. Kristen says good news travels fast and it proves her point that Brady and Chloe were a ticking time bomb. Kristen imagines Stefan still has lingering doubts about his feelings from before the four years he was gone until now. Kristen says he had four years to resolve his conflicting feelings and woke up with a new sense of purpose, having finally figured it all out. Kristen declares that Stefan is now finally going after what he truly wants. Kristen claims it’s just her opinion and suggests he trust his gut. Stefan apologizes for bursting in like this and decides to get going. Kristen says he has a lot to think about as Stefan then exits. Kristen remarks that she does feel a little bad for Stefan, but she doesn’t need him to come between Brady and Chloe anymore, though it’s better safe than sorry.

Li assures Dr. Rolf that leaving is the best option as it’s better to be safe than sorry. Dr. Rolf argues that he’s not intimidated by Gabi and he can handle her. Li calls him a genius and an idiot. Li argues that Gabi is a lioness and would get the truth out of him in two seconds. Li encourages Dr. Rolf to go, so he’ll also be out of Rafe’s jurisdiction. Dr. Rolf says he will need a little time to get his things in order. Li says he will send a car to take him to the airport and insists that he’s doing the right thing. Li then exits the lab.

Nicole doesn’t understand as she thought she did the right thing. Rafe says they are supposed to be partners and they aren’t in a good patch, but he doesn’t want her to fire Eric because of him. Nicole questions what he wants then and argues that she did it to fix them, but it hasn’t. Nicole questions what the next step is and where they stand. Nicole pleads with Rafe to tell her what she can do or what he wants. Rafe responds that he wants them to be okay. Nicole says she does too but questions if that’s possible after last night since Rafe didn’t even come home. Rafe apologizes and explains that he was worried that he would just make things worse if he did. Nicole suggests they could’ve worked things out and had incredible make up sex. Nicole tells Rafe that she missed him so much. Rafe says he missed her too and they kiss until Rafe gets paged back to the police station. Rafe tells Nicole that she will see him tonight and kisses her goodbye as he then exits the office. Nicole then sits back down looking frustrated.

Eric knows Jada feels bad for sharing what she overheard but he thanks her because he needed to know. Eric decides he’s not going to a photoshoot after all and his afternoon will be free, so they can have lunch here. Jada points out that her lunch break is over now. Eric apologizes for talking her ear off. Jada says she has to head back to the station but they agree on dinner as they hug.

Brady questions what Chloe is doing here. Chloe apologizes and says she won’t be long but she left some things in his bedroom. Brady tells her to go ahead. Brady then stops her and says he feels really terrible. Chloe cries that she knows why he did what he did. Chloe then heads to get her things. The doorbell rings and Kristen arrives with her bag packed.

Rafe returns to his office. Jada comes in after him and asks if he has a minute. Rafe asks what’s up. Jada says it’s kind of awkward but she accidentally heard some of the fight between he and Nicole last night. Rafe admits that wasn’t his best moment and he’s sorry she had to hear that. Jada assures that she didn’t mean to overhear but she felt that he should know that she told Eric what she heard. Rafe is surprised to hear her say that. Jada explains that she was with Eric when he got an e-mail from Nicole that he was fired and he was so confused and she didn’t know how to help him, so she felt he should know. Rafe tells her not to worry about it as everything will work out fine. Rafe tells Jada that he never told Nicole to fire Eric and actually told her it was a mistake and that she should rehire him. Rafe declares that he has to be able to trust his wife.

Nicole goes to Eric’s room and says she wanted to explain the e-mail from earlier. Eric says he knows she didn’t fire him over budget cuts and that it’s about her marriage.

Brady questions what Kristen is doing here. Kristen reminds him that they talked about this. Brady argues that he just broke up with Chloe last night and needs more time. Kristen argues that she helped him dodge a bullet. Chloe comes out with a box of her things and questions what is going on. Kristen guesses Brady didn’t have the chance to tell her that she’s moving in.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

You’re looking for a job with spec? Yeah, we, we talked about this, remember? But then we got sidetracked when you realized Jennifer was the one who played Dan Gwen with her car. Just keep your voice down. Yeah. Sorry. I guess if I’m gonna work in the newspaper, bier needs to be a bit more discreet. But like I said, I, not to start as an executive, just wherever you can use.

Sorry, Jack. What’d you say? I’m afraid my answer is no.

You can’t tell anyone you saw me. No one can know that I’m here. Why? What’s going on? And what’s with the get up? I’ve been vanished from Salem. Here. Sit up. Mothers wanna. God, I’ve been calling, texting her for hours. No response. I’m starting to get really worried. I’m so sorry. Do you have any idea where she might be?

No, I don’t. All I know is that Eugene Damara forced her to leave town.

What are you doing here?

If my dad or your brother did put Ralph up in doing something to ste, there’s gotta be a trail, right? And maybe they’re still in contact with him. Worth looking into. I already tried hacking these email accounts. He’s got it well protected. Well, if it’s der, how maybe. All it would take is any other high level to merit password.

I could work my way in through back the, I don’t have a high enough clearance level for that, but maybe I could get into my dad’s. I asked you a question son, and I’d like an answer now. Uh, Stephan Beam to give me our divorce papers. That’s the errand you had to run. When I was leaving the building, I ran into my attorney and he informed me the papers were ready.

So you rushed over here to personally deliver them? I did. But imagine you’re anxious to get married. Just as I’m anxious to cut ties with Gabby. So yeah, I got here as soon as I could. Then I assumed their son. Not yet,

but as soon as they are, our marriage will be over and the two of you will be free to live your happily ever after,

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

Xander, look, I wanna help you. I do, but I, I just don’t think that bringing you onto the paper at this time is a good idea. I need to explain, Jack. I I get it. You do. Of course. I’m just not good enough. And look, I know I have some of the skills I might need to help you, but I like the integrity, the, the decency, the ethics.

You know, if you need someone to clean out your gutters or smuggle some diamonds, I’m your man. But to sully the hallowed holes of the spectator by hiring a scandal like me, I mean, you’ve been insult to the entire third estate, wouldn’t it? Fourth estate, huh? The press is known as the fourth estate. I see.

I top of everything else, I’m ignorant. I mean, just forget it was a stupid idea. It was not, it was not a stupid idea. Look, my decision has nothing to do with you and your, your character, your, your capabilities. And as a matter of fact, it is. It’s not about you at all. And then who is it about when

vanished from som? By whom? EJ Dara. Yet you are still here? Yeah, but he doesn’t know that. Thank God. So this visit, it needs to stay between us. Fine. I know I’m gonna regret asking this. What did you do to anger EJ so badly that you are banished from Salem?

I know that. Look, I saw it every time I caught you with your hand in the cookie jar. Well, can I say I have a, uh, wicked suites? If, if you are after suites, you’d be at your sister’s bakery, not sculpting around my office. Now tell me, Johnny, what have I caught you doing now, son? I’m losing my patience. Okay?

Okay. I will, uh, I’ll tell you. Well, I am here.

I came here to apologize for what? I’ve had some time to think and I realized that you were right about Ava.

Go on. She did lie to us. She just wanted to scam our family, and, and it was right after Uncle Jake died and I, I, it, I believed that she really was grieving and I wanted to comfort her, you know, felt good to be needed. None of it was real. I tried to tell you, son, I know,

I’m really sorry, dad. I, I, I feel like a total idiot. For buying her act. You really did care about her, didn’t you? I thought she cared about me too. The truth is she never cared about me. She was using me to get to you, which is what you said she was doing all along and you were right. You were a thousand percent right.

So, EJ is furious with you because you faked a marriage to Jake so that you could inherit his shares. It was Gabby’s idea. Oh God can’t believe she convinced you to put a wedding ring on a dead man’s finger. A man that I loved. Look, Jake and I were going to be married, and if he hadn’t been gunned down in cold blood, we would be married right now looking.

He proposed to me right before he got shot. I mean, look, we even picked out our engagement ring. I know, because that is the same engagement ring that Xander gave to me.

What does Gwen have to do with me working at the Spectator? Well, as I told you today, I’m checking her out of the hospital, which is wonderful. I’m sure she’s thrilled. She is, but she’s also worried. I mean, she doesn’t have a job. She doesn’t have a place to live. I, I’ve told her she can come home with me and I, I offered her a position at the paper.

So, I mean, it’s a huge operation. There must be more than one opening. There is perfect. And you can hire both of us. Sander, As much as I’d like to, I can’t. And why? Because if I did, my newsroom would turn into a fight club.

You hit ej, but And he’s not making you leave town too. I already left town. I live in Seattle. I don’t remember. Right. Sorry. I, uh, I got distracted. Picturing you going all Anderson sofa, . You’re into mma. Yeah, who is it? And just when I thought I couldn’t like you anymore. So what happened after you popped dj?

Uh, he was going to have me arrested. But your brother stopped him. He was there. Yeah. I tracked DJ down in his office. Yeah, when my brother is currently working as his right hand man. So why would he go to bat for you? He didn’t. He did? For you? For me. It’s to show his gratitude for what I did over the summer in Hong Kong.

You don’t have to be modest trip. You can say it. You saved my life.

You and your brother, Joey. While it is something that we will both be very proud of, especially because we both think you’re. Which we made embarrassingly obvious as I recall. Yeah, yeah. You kind of did. Well anyway. That’s why Leera my defense, maybe he really does care about me. It surprises you. No, it’s just am.

It doesn’t take me seriously. You know, he doesn’t see me as a capable, ambitious adult to him. I’m still the little girl in pigtails who followed him around when we were kids. More pigtails? No, not by choice.

I don’t know. Trip. Maybe I’d have an easier time if I just conformed a little more. I traded in the hoodie and sneakers for suit? No, when they don’t do that. Don’t change for anyone. You are amazing exactly the way you are.

Well, if I’m so amazing, what does my brother refuse to gimme a job?

This all looks pretty straightforward. I think it’d be best if you had a witness for your signature. I’d be happy to be that witness. So, which one of you wants to sign first?

I do.

I cannot wait to be rid of. Once and for all.

Fight Club. You’re saying Gwen and I are gonna be brawling at the office? Not, not literally, but tensions can run high and it is newspapers so there can be long hours and late nights. Wait, you’re not worried I’m gonna cheat on my wife. Are you? Of course not. Good cuz I love Sarah with all my heart and you know, I care about Gwen but his, for anything romantic, that ship has sailed.

I’m over her. Of course. I know. I’m just not sure that Gwen is over you.

Please, please tell me you are not still carrying a torch for that bozo Sanda. Why would you say that? Well, because when I brought up your former engagement ring, you got a little annoyed. I did not. Mm. Anyway, we’re talking about your love life here, not mine.

Tell me, tell me about this scam that you ran on ej. There’s not much more to tell. I was outta my mind with grief and Gabby took advantage of it. She really ambushed you here in the hospital. Yeah. Jake’s body wasn’t even cold and she is pitching me on all the clash that I’m gonna make if I pretend to be his.

The proverbial cat is now out of the bag. EJ found out that the marriage wasn’t real. He’s in and now she’s out. Well, that’s not your fault. She still owes you. So how about you take your problems to her instead of with me? Oh, because Gabby’s got problems over own. Well, what are you waiting for?

You know, you might be alive again, but you’re dead to me now.

I don’t care what Ralph says. If you don’t have heart anymore, Your turn, Lee.

All right. Well Lee, she’s all yours and you are free to marry the man you love following. You’re free to chase your precious Chloe Lean. You know, I’m gonna go ahead and file these. Because if you filed them, I wouldn’t want their authenticity to be questioned. See, I don’t want there to be any doubt that this marriage is finally and permanently.

Over.

I thought you already worked for Damara. Yeah. In the ass end of nowhere, Alaska. Right. I mean, nothing against the state. Really good people. It’s just. It’s not my home and I hate the weather, and so I want Lee to get me transferred here. Give me a promotion, which I totally deserve. That can mean I’d show him up.

None. The shins can’t have that. God forbid, little sister out Shine the first warrant. Son, this sounds pretty sexist. That one’s very sexist. But sadly, it’s still a man’s world. Well, look, I saw that move. You did the get away from my dad in Hong Kong. You can go toe-to-toe with any man. But if what I did over there, what you and Joey did, if that offended you in any way offended me.

Of course not. You’ve saved my life and I’m so grateful. I hope I made that clear and didn’t I just read about you saving another woman’s life by the rowing yourself at a window. Yeah, I guess I’m a little old school like that, always wanting to be the nine shining. Guess I’m a little ashamed to admit. I find that kind of hot.

Oh, relax Lance. A lot. I’m just checking out your hand.

Must have been some punch. There was actually more than one. Really? Who else did you hit? I am Wendy,

you all right? Yeah, I’m fine. Just, uh, thinking about everything a did to me, it was like getting punched in the face. Not painful, huh? I just, I, I, I can’t believe that I defended. You know, I even after she cop to defrauding our family, I actually told you that it didn’t matter to me that she lied to us, that she stole from us.

And I, I don’t know what else to say other than that woman is very persuasive. Hmm. And you and my son, Uh, less so. Excuse me. Sorry Johnny, but I’m having a little trouble believing this. Mayor Culper of yours. When I told Ava to leave Salem, you looked at me with sheer hatred and swore that you’d make me pay.

So I have a temper. Wonder who I got that from? Your mother. But the charm that you use to cloak what you are really up to, that that you inherited from yours truly, and despite all of my demer dna. Still managed to get played by Vitale. You say that, but I wonder if you believe it or if you are the one playing me.

What’s going on? Uh, I was just asking your brother how he ped up his knuckles. Uh, you okay? Yeah. No, it’s nothing. Good. Well, in that case, Wendy, it’s so good to see you. Okay. Wow. It’s, uh, good to see you too. Joey Trip told me about your mom. We’re really glad she’s okay. Thanks. Yeah, no, we’re all incredibly.

So what are you doing in Salem? Oh, I was hoping to get a job here, but my brother’s paying a total to, Oh, I can relate to that. Are you hilarious? Where are you staying? I’m still sort of figuring that out. There’s no way I’m crashing with Lee, but I can’t really afford a hotel. Oh, you can stay with us.

Did Gwen tell. That she still has feelings for me.

Uh, Gwe Gwen. No, no, no, no. Actually it’s just, uh, just an impression I got Say no more. Your daughter has to come first. But for the record, Jack, if you did take us both on. I’ve never lead Gwen on and Gwen’s determined to get her life back on track too, and I wanna support her in that, help her make better decisions than she has in the past.

So, you know, support her to, to learn from her mistakes so that she doesn’t make them again. Oh, come on Gwen. I’m not gonna ask you to do anything that you haven’t done before. That’s what I’m afraid of. So what is it exactly that you want me to do? Help me get back at ej. What do you mean get back at ej?

As you know, I am not the kind of person who responds well to threats. EJ needs to pay. He needs to pay for thinking that he can threaten me and run me outta Salem. All right, so here’s the deal. I just need you to get close. Get him like you, and then No, no. I’m not going to infiltrate the Dara family. I’ve done that once before.

It turned out to be a bloody disaster. I’m not asking you to infiltrate anything. I am just asking you to cozy up to ej. I can’t. You can’t. While I certainly can’t because if he finds out that I am still here, he’s gonna have me arrested and thrown in Statesville. Oh. Oh, you remember Statesville? Yeah. That place that you begged me to break you out of and I.

No questions asked. That was only for a few hours and that is also because you threw me under the bloody bus. Okay. Well that is not the point is it? The point is, I was the only person who could help you back then. Just like you are the only person who can help me. No, we are even, and I don’t have to help you with anything.

Okay. You want me to beg? I’ll beg. I may not have a husband or a home or a job, but I’ve still got my dignity and I refuse to tuck my tail between my legs and run because ej Dara told me to, I don’t care if he hates me, that he will not disrespect me, and I would go after him myself if I could in a heartbeat, But I can.

I need help. I need your help. Come on Gwen. What do you have to lose?

Look, I am admitting to you that you’re right. Why is that so hard to accept? It’s never happened before. Like I said, I’ve had some time to cool off and reflect. And I came around on Ava, came around on something else too. Oh, you’ve always said that my place is here at Damara. You are right.

After years fighting me, you’ve just suddenly changed your mind. This, this whole thing with Ava has, has clarified a lot for me. You know, I. About loyalty, legacy, what I want in life, and that’s to work here with me. Guy. I know I’ve resisted it for a lot of years, but maybe to use your words. It’s time for me to grow up, learn the family business.

What are you working on these days anyway? Oh, dad, you’re uh, computer slacked. What’s your password?

Oh, it looks like someone else also forgot. We live in Seattle. No, I don’t get it inside. Joke. Oh, you guys have inside jokes now. That’s awesome. Oh, don’t worry about it. It’s not that funny. Okay, so when are you guys uh, headed back home? As soon as I hear from my mom Sure. Hasn’t been able to reach her. She all right?

I think so, but I just wanna make sure and then we can head back west. Well, I mean, we don’t have to leave quite yet. Oh, Kayla’s better now. I just assumed she’s not even outta the hospital. I think we should at least stick around and help out. And if Wendy’s gonna be staying with us, then well, I wouldn’t wanna get in the way.

Oh, my parents have a, a townhouse, plenty of space. Two guest bedrooms, which we’re sharing one and Stephanie has the other. Right. So you can move in with Steph and Wendy come back with me. Oh, well, you’s know step way more than I do, so it actually makes more sense if you move with Steph and when mugs with me.

Or I could just fuck with stuff, Dude. Why are you making this so difficult? I’m just trying to do what’s best for Wendy. So am I guys. I appreciate the offer, but I’m just gonna go find my own. Nice going dummy. What did I do guys? I offered Wendy a perfectly good option. Oh really? Cuz I don’t think her idea of perfect is rooming with you.

Okay. Time out. As entertaining as this is, you’re gonna have to take it someplace else because I have work to do. So see ya.

I seriously get out of here. Go.

Don’t, no hard feelings. Never. You my best mate. Well, thank you. Thank you for under. Now you’re saying you’re a couple of months behind in your bills that they’re in, correct? Yeah. But to stop the bleeding, Sarah and I decided to move back in with Uncle Bick and Maggie. Temporarily. Not our first choice, obviously, but it’ll help.

All right. Well, how about this? I’ll lend you a couple of bucks until you find something. It’s a lovely offer, Jack, but no, I’ll figure it out. I always do.

What have I got to lose? Only everything that matters to me. Quinn, you already lost Sander. I’m talking about my father right now. My, my main focus is being the daughter that he deserves. You know, recovering from being slammed into by a motor vehicle, I’m doing much better. Thank you for asking. I’m glad you’re doing all right.

Any idea when they’re gonna let you outta here today? Jack has, uh, invited me to stay with him. He’s even getting me a job at the newspaper. . I’m nicely done. No, Stop. This is not a con. By some miracle, he’s given me a chance to do things right and there is no way I’m gonna muck it up. So whatever this scheme is that you are cooking up with ej, I’m out.

Well, you’re really turning me down.

I have root for you though. I hope you do it, Ava. I hope you make EJ pay

my password. Let’s see.

I was raw. Uh, a what? Johnny, You don’t belong behind a desk. You’re an artist.

You don’t, you don’t want me at Damara. Of course I do. I’d love nothing more than to have my son by my side. But you wouldn’t be happy here. You usually be out there creating, following your vision, bringing it, bringing it to life, like, I don’t know, Dad, the last vision I tried to bring to. It didn’t turn out so well.

You’re not gonna let a little thing like demonic possessions stop you from achieving your dreams, are you? If you can be the devil, you can beat anyone.

You’re right. Anyway, I’ve got a lot of work to do up, undo all the damage Gabby did as CEO is a lot bigger task than I imagine. Well, I’ll leave you to it then. Mm-hmm.

Hey, any luck? Nope. Security is so tight on my brother’s work Emails like trying to break into Fort Knox. How about you? My dad walked in on me. I went through his desk and does he know your Aja? Not a chance.

That’s correct. I want tied to security on all of the mirror’s, devices, desktops, laptops, phones, and as the head of it, I want you to personally oversee its upgrades. No, there is no active threat, but not everyone is happy about the recent change in leadership that you could never be too careful. Okay, thank you.

You okay? Sure. Yeah. Why wouldn’t I be, Gabby, you just signed your divorce papers. That had to be very difficult. Uh, Lee, what are you, what are you doing here? Isn’t this the first day? You being ej second in command, You know, that’s just temporary, right? Yeah. I love you and I, and I trust you. I know you’re looking out for me and that I’m biting time until I can get rid of EJ in all the other Demaris, and then I’ll just be you and me.

Shin Hernandez Enterprises.

Oh, he. Shim. I liked Mando. Oh, believe me. I know.

Well, Gwen, ready to blow this joint and head. Yeah, that sounds really nice. And Dad, yeah, thank you for giving me this chance and for still believing in me even after all the ways that I’ve disappointed you. It’s not gonna happen again. This time. It’s gonna be different. I’m going to be. And I’m gonna do everything that I can to make sure that you’re proud of me.

All of a sudden, Glen’s chips has a conscience. Now what? Where am I gonna find someone to help me? No, no, no. Phyllis, of course. I’m not trying to avoid you or your. You’ve been sending text messages as well. That’s strange. I I never got them, but I’m so glad you caught me because I do have some good news for him.

Yes. I, I’m finally getting out of your hair. I found a new place to live. Well, obviously I know I have to settle up. Remind me, uh, how much exactly do I own that much? And tell me, does the Salem in offer an installment plan? Cause I had a line on a job, but it fell through, so I just need a little bit of time.

Legal action, Darling. Phyllis, I’m sure it’s not gonna come to that. No, no, no. Don’t worry darling. I will find a way to come up with the money.

Problem solved.

You still haven’t told me why you came back here.

After what we just did. You’re still thinking about that . I mean, I’m curious. My sister texted me saying she was gonna stop by. Oh, she did? What’d she want? Well, um, she wanted to see if you would reconsider hiring her here at Damara and. But since you’re refusing, she was hoping I would hire her myself, but since you’re not CEO anymore, but if I was, I would hire her in a heartbeat.

And your sister’s a rockstar.

You’re not the first person today to remind me of her talents.

Maybe I do need to reconsider. Yeah. Maybe you should, unless you know you’re intimidated by powerful, strong women.

Okay. I just got a text from my mom. Is she okay? She’s fine. Thank God. She says she’s gonna check in again soon. And now that we know both of our moms are okay, we can head it back out to Seattle. Man, you’re pretty anxious to get back. Because you know, if we stay when you’ll choose me. Well, I mean, she definitely would choose me, but, uh, I’m actually just saving you the humiliation.

I don’t want let everyone to see my little brother crying. Okay.

You know, she’s into mma. No way. Mm-hmm. , dude, she can hack into anything. She’s a badass poker player and she likes mma. Mm-hmm. , she’s like the perfect woman. To Wendy picking the best Johnson, or, you know what I mean? You know what I mean? I do. And I will drink it there.

Who’s a Lee? Oh my God. Oh my God. He just offered me a position at Damara here in Salem. A good one. Congrats. Congrats. You, Uh, you got what you wanted, so I guess that means we won’t be working together anymore. Sure Will. If my brother and your dad got this Dr. Wolf guy to mess with Stephan’s head, I wanna know.

And my new job puts us one step closer to finding out the truth.

Stephan, I’m starting to worry about you. Everything okay? It is now. Just got divorced. It’s done. Yes, my widow and I just put pen to paper. Once the judge signs off, it’ll be official. I’m very happy for you, brother. It must be over the moon. Gabby Hernandez is out of your life forever.

Update written by Joseph

Jack questions Xander wanting a job at the Spectator. Xander reminds him that they talked about it at the Pub until Jack was sidetracked when he realized Jennifer was the one who ran over Gwen. Jack reminds him to keep his voice down about that. Xander says he’ll start wherever Jack can use him and asks what he says. Jack responds that he’s afraid his answer is no.

Ava shows up in a disguise in Gwen’s hospital room and tells her that she needs her help. Ava says Gwen can’t tell anyone that she saw her as no one can know she’s here. Gwen questions why and what is going on. Ava informs Gwen that she’s been banished from Salem.

Wendy and Tripp sit together at Julie’s Place as Wendy asks Tripp about his mother being missing. Tripp tells her that he’s been calling and texting for hours with no response so he’s starting to get really worried. Wendy says she’s so sorry and asks if he has any idea where she might be. Tripp responds that all he knows is that EJ forced her to leave town.

Johnny goes to the DiMera Enterprises office and begins searching through folders on the desk, believing the password has to be there somewhere. EJ then comes back in and questions what Johnny is doing there. Johnny thinks back to planning in to hacking DiMera accounts with Wendy. EJ asks Johnny again and demands an answer.

Gabi informs Li that Stefan came over to give her their divorce papers. Li questions that being the errand that Stefan had to run. Stefan explains that as he was leaving the building, he ran in to his attorney, who informed him that the papers were ready. Li questions Stefan rushing over to personally deliver them. Stefan says he imagines they are anxious to get married, just as he is to cut ties with Gabi, so he got there as soon as he could. Li assumes they are signed then but Gabi says not yet. Stefan declares that as soon as they are, their marriage will be over so Li and Gabi will be free to live their happily ever after.

Jack tells Xander that he wants to help him but he doesn’t think bringing him on at the paper at this time is a good idea. Xander complains about not being good enough and lacking the skills for the job, then tells Jack to forget it as it was a stupid idea. Jack explains that his decision has nothing to do with his character, capabilities, or about Xander at all. Jack reveals it’s about Gwen.

Gwen questions who banished Ava from Salem. Ava tells her it was EJ DiMera. Gwen points out that she’s still here. Ava states that EJ doesn’t know that, so this visit needs to stay between them. Gwen agrees and asks what she did to anger EJ so badly that she’s banished from Salem.

EJ questions Johnny as to what he has caught him doing now and warns that he’s losing his patience. Johnny then claims that he came to apologize because he realized EJ was right about Ava since she did lie to them and just wanted to scam their family after Jake died. EJ says he tried to tell him. Johnny tells EJ that he’s really sorry. EJ acknowledges that Johnny really did care about Ava. Johnny claims that Ava was just using him to get to EJ and that EJ was right.

Ava informs Gwen that EJ is furious because she faked a marriage to Jake to inherit his shares. Ava clarifies that it was Gabi’s idea. Gwen can’t believe Gabi convinced Ava to put a wedding ring on a dead man’s finger. Ava argues that she and Jake were in love and if he wasn’t killed, they would be married now. Ava reminds Gwen that Jake proposed to her right before getting shot and even picked out her engagement ring. Gwen angrily reminds Ava that it was the same ring that Xander gave to her.

Xander asks Jack what Gwen has to do with him working at the Spectator. Jack informs Xander that he’s checking Gwen out of the hospital today and she’s worried as she didn’t have a job or a place to live, so he told her that she could come home with him and offered her a job at the paper. Xander argues that it’s a huge operation so there must be more than one opening. Jack confirms there is, so Xander suggests hiring both of them. Jack responds that he’d like to, but he can’t because his news room would turn in to a fight club.

Tripp tells Wendy about how he punched EJ. Wendy questions how EJ isn’t making him leave town too. Tripp reminds her that he already left town and lives in Seattle. Wendy jokes that she got distracted by picturing Tripp going all Anderson Silva. Tripp is impressed to learn that Wendy is a fan of MMA and says he didn’t think he could like her more. Wendy asks what happened after he hit EJ. Tripp explains that EJ was going to have him arrested but Li stopped him. Wendy is surprised that Li was there but questions why Li would go to bat for him. Tripp reveals that Li did it for Wendy to show his gratitude for what he did for her over the summer in Hong Kong. Wendy acknowledges that Tripp and his brother Joey saved her life. Tripp says that’s something they will both be very proud of. Tripp adds that they both think Wendy is great and that’s why Li sprang to his defense. Wendy wonders if Li really does care about her then since he doesn’t take her seriously or see her as a capable, ambitious adult. Wendy wonders if she would have an easier time if she conformed a little more. Tripp tells her not to change for anyone and calls her amazing exactly the way she is. Wendy questions why her brother refuses to give her a job then.

Li goes over the divorce papers and offers to be the witness for their signatures. Li asks who wants to sign first. Stefan decides he does and declares that he cannot wait to be rid of Gabi once and for all as he signs the divorce papers. Stefan then hands the papers to Gabi.

Xander questions Jack thinking he and Gwen would be brawling at the office. Jack points out that tensions can run high while there could be late hours and long nights. Xander assures that he’s in love with Sarah and he’s over Gwen. Jack responds that he knows, but he’s not so sure that Gwen is over him.

Ava questions if Gwen is still carrying a torch for Xander. Gwen asks why she would say that. Ava points out Gwen getting annoyed at her former engagement ring. Gwen denies that and says they are talking about Ava’s love life, not hers. Gwen asks Ava about the scam she ran on EJ. Ava says there isn’t much more to tell as she was out of her mind with grief and Gabi took advantage. Gwen questions Gabi ambushing her in the hospital. Ava confirms that Jake’s body wasn’t even cold while Gabi was pitching her on all the cash she could make. Ava says that EJ found out the marriage wasn’t real, so he’s in and now Gabi’s out. Gwen argues that it’s not Ava’s fault so Gabi still owes her. Gwen suggests Ava take this up with Gabi instead of her but Ava responds that Gabi has problems of her own.

Stefan questions what Gabi is waiting for. Gabi declares that Stefan might be alive again, but he’s dead to her now, as she then signs the divorce papers. Gabi doesn’t care what Dr. Rolf says and remarks that Stefan doesn’t have a heart anymore. Li then signs the papers as well. Stefan tells Li that Gabi is all his and Gabi is free to marry the man she loves. Gabi angrily responds that Stefan is free to chase Chloe. Stefan decides he will file the papers himself so there is no doubt that this marriage is finally and permanently over. Stefan then exits the room.

Tripp thought Wendy already worked for DiMera. Wendy complains about being stuck in Alaska, so she wants Li to get her transferred here with a promotion but he doesn’t want her to show him up. Wendy states that it’s sadly still a man’s world. Tripp hopes she wasn’t offended by what he and Joey did in Hong Kong. Wendy repeats that they saved her life and assures that she’s so grateful. Wendy brings up hearing about Tripp saving another woman’s life by throwing himself through a window. Tripp guesses he’s old school and always trying to be the knight in shining armor. Wendy admits she finds that kind of hot. Wendy then checks out Tripp’s hand and comments that it must have been some punch. Tripp admits it was actually more than one, so Wendy asks who else he hit. Joey then arrives and interrupts them.

Johnny remarks to EJ that thinking about everything Ava did to him was like getting punched in the face. Johnny claims that he can’t believe he defended Ava and calls her very persuasive. EJ responds that Johnny is less persuasive and admits he’s having a hard time buying this. EJ brings up how when he forced Ava to leave Salem, Johnny looked at him with sheer hatred and swore to make him pay. Johnny blows it off as just having a temper. EJ acknowledges the charm he used to cover up what he’s really up to and how he got that from him. EJ questions if Johnny really believes he got played by Ava or if Johnny is the one playing him.

Joey questions what’s going on. Wendy explains that she was just asking Tripp about how he banged up his knuckles. Joey hugs Wendy and says it’s so good to see her. Wendy says she’s glad to hear his mom is okay. Joey questions what Wendy is doing in Salem. Wendy says she was hoping to get a job but her brother is being a dork. Tripp jokes that he can relate to that. Joey asks where Wendy is staying. Wendy admits she’s still figuring that out. Wendy refuses to crash with Li and admits she can’t afford a hotel, so Joey suggests she stay with them.

Xander asks Jack if Gwen told him that she still has feelings for him. Jack thinks back to interrupting Gwen’s dream. Jack tells Xander that it was just an impression he got. Xander understands his daughter has to come first but assures that if he did hire them both, he would never lead Gwen on. Jack says that Gwen wants to get her life back on track and he wants to support her on that by helping her make better decisions than she has in the past and help her learn to not repeat her mistakes.

Ava argues that she won’t ask Gwen to do anything she hasn’t done before. Gwen says that’s what she’s afraid of and questions what exactly Ava wants her to do. Ava wants Gwen to help her get back at EJ. Ava says she doesn’t respond well to threats so EJ needs to pay for thinking he can threaten her and run her out of Salem. Ava just needs Gwen to get close to EJ and get him to like her. Gwen says no and refuses to infiltrate the DiMera family as she did that before and it was a disaster. Ava just wants Gwen to cozy up EJ but Gwen says she can’t. Ava argues that she can’t do it because if EJ finds out she’s still in Salem, he will have her arrested and thrown in prison. Ava reminds Gwen how she broke her out of prison with no questions asked. Gwen argues that was only for a few hours and because Ava threw her under the bus. Ava points out that she was the only one who could help Gwen back then and now Gwen is the only one who can help her. Gwen argues that they are even, so she doesn’t have to help her with anything. Ava offers to beg and says she refuses to tuck her tail and run just because EJ told her too. Ava declares that she doesn’t care if EJ hates her but he will not disrespect her. Ava adds that she would go after EJ herself in a heartbeat if she could, but she can’t, so she needs Gwen’s help. Ava questions what Gwen has to lose.

Johnny asks EJ why it’s so hard to accept that he’s admitting EJ was right. EJ points out that it’s never happened before. Johnny insists he had time to cool off and reflect, so he came around on Ava. Johnny brings up that EJ always said his place is here at DiMera and he was right. EJ questions suddenly changing his mind after years of fighting him. Johnny claims that the whole thing with Ava has cleared up a lot for him about loyalty, legacy, and what he wants in life. EJ asks if he wants to work here with him. Johnny knows he’s resisted it for years but maybe it’s time for him to grow up and learn the family business. Johnny asks what EJ’s working on these days anyway as he opens up the computer. Johnny then points out that it’s locked and asks what EJ’s password is.

Tripp reminds Joey that they live in Seattle. Wendy asks when they are heading back home. Tripp says as soon as he hears from his mom. Wendy tells Joey that Tripp hasn’t been able to reach Ava. Joey asks if she’s alright. Tripp says he thinks so but he just wants to make sure and then they can head back. Joey points out that they don’t have to leave quite yet, noting that Kayla isn’t out of the hospital yet. Joey suggests they can stick around to help out and have Wendy stay with them. Wendy doesn’t want to get in the way. Joey goes over how Steve and Kayla have a townhouse with two guest bedrooms. Tripp reminds him that they are in one and Stephanie is in the other. Joey suggests Tripp can move in with Stephanie while Wendy bunks with him. Tripp argues that Joey knows Stephanie way more than he does so it would make more sense for Wendy to bunk with him. Wendy suggests she could bunk with Stephanie while Joey questions why Tripp is making this so difficult. Tripp and Joey argue that they are both trying to do what’s best for Wendy. Wendy says she appreciates the offer but she will just find her own place. Joey and Tripp blame each other and argue until Wendy stops them and tells them to take this somewhere else because she has work to do. Wendy then kisses them both on the cheek and then they leave as Wendy goes back to work.

Jack offers Xander a handshake and asks if there’s no hard feelings. Xander hugs him and assures he’s still his best mate. Jack thanks him for understanding. Jack asks about Xander being a couple months behind on his bills at the Salem Inn. Xander reveals that he and Sarah have moved back in to the Kiriakis Mansion temporarily which is not their first choice but it will help. Jack offers to loan Xander some money until he finds something but Xander says he’ll figure it out as he always does. Xander then exits the hospital.

Gwen tells Ava that she has everything that matters to her to lose. Ava reminds her that she already lost Xander. Gwen says she’s talking about her father as being the daughter that Jack deserves is her main focus along with recovering from being slammed in to by a motor vehicle. Ava asks when Gwen is being released. Gwen informs her that it’s today and that Jack has invited her to stay with him. Gwen adds that Jack’s even getting her a job at the newspaper. Ava congratulates her on that while Gwen insists this is not a con and that Jack is giving her a chance to do things right, so there is no way she will muck it up. Gwen declares that whatever scheme Ava is cooking up with EJ, she’s out. Ava questions Gwen turning her down. Gwen says she is rooting for her and hopes that Ava makes EJ pay.

Johnny asks EJ for his password but EJ shuts the computer and says he was wrong as Johnny doesn’t belong behind a desk, he’s an artist. Johnny questions EJ not wanting him at DiMera. EJ assures he’d want nothing more than to have his son by his side but he wouldn’t be happy there. EJ encourages Johnny to be out there bringing his vision to life. Johnny brings up that his last vision didn’t turn out so well. EJ remarks that if he can beat the Devil, he can beat anyone. EJ says he has a lot of work to do as undoing all the damage that Gabi did as CEO is a bigger task than he imagined. Johnny decides to leave him to it then and exits the office.

Johnny returns to Wendy at Julie’s Place and asks if she had any luck. Wendy says she hasn’t because security is too tight on Li’s email. Wendy asks about Johnny’s luck. Johnny informs her that EJ walked in on him going through his desk, but insists there’s no chance that EJ is onto him.

EJ makes a call, saying he wants the tightest security on all of DiMeras devices including desktops, laptops, and phones. EJ asks the head of I.T. to personally oversee the upgrades and says there is no immediate threat but they can never be too careful.

Li asks if Gabi is okay. Gabi claims she is and asks why she wouldn’t be. Li says she just signed her divorce papers and knows that had to be very difficult. Gabi questions what Li is doing here when it’s the first day of him being EJ’s second in command. Li reminds her that is just temporary. Gabi tells Li that she loves and trusts him so she knows he’s looking out for her. Li states that he’s biding his time to get rid of EJ and all the other DiMeras, then it will just be them as Shin-Hernandez Enterprises. Gabi calls it Hernandez-Shin as she likes to be on top. Li assures that he knows as they kiss.

Jack returns to Gwen’s room and asks if she’s ready to head home. Gwen says that sounds really nice and thanks him for giving her this chance and for still believing in her after all the ways she disappointed him. Gwen promises this time will be different and she will do everything she can to make sure he is proud of her.

Ava complains about Gwen suddenly having a conscience and wonders where she will find someone to help her now. Xander walks by while on a phone call with the Salem Inn about how much he still owes. Xander says he just needs a little time and assures he will find a way to come up with the money. Xander hangs up and exits the hospital. Having overheard him, Ava declares that her problem is solved.

Gabi and Li lay in bed after having sex. Gabi points out that Li still hasn’t told her why he came back to the room. Li questions her still thinking about that after what they just did. Gabi says she’s curious. Li tells her that his sister texted him that she was going to stop by. Gabi informs him that she did. Li asks what she wanted. Gabi responds that Wendy wanted to see if Li would reconsider hiring her in Salem and then hoped Gabi would hire her, herself. Gabi says if she was still CEO, she would hire Wendy in a heartbeat because she’s a rock star. Li admits that she’s not the first person today to remind him of Wendy’s talents, so maybe he does need to reconsider. Gabi agrees unless he’s intimidated by powerful, strong women.

Tripp and Joey sit together at the Brady Pub. Tripp gets a text from Ava and says she’s fine and will check in again soon. Tripp tells Joey that now that they know both of their moms are fine, they can head back to Seattle. Joey questions Tripp being anxious to get back, arguing that if they stay, Wendy would choose him. Tripp says she would choose him so he’s saving Joey the humiliation. Tripp brings up Wendy being in to MMA which impresses Joey, who calls her like the perfect woman. Joey and Tripp toast to Wendy picking the best Johnson.

Wendy gets a text from Li and exclaims that he just offered her a good position at DiMera here in Salem. Johnny congratulates her on getting what she wanted and guesses that means they won’t be working together anymore. Wendy assures that they will because she still wants to know if Li and EJ worked with Dr. Rolf on Stefan and her new job puts them one step closer to the truth.

Stefan returns to the DiMera office. EJ asks if everything is okay as he was starting to worry. Stefan announces that he just got divorced as they just signed the papers and once the judge signs off on it, it will be official. EJ tells Stefan that he’s very happy for him and declares that he must be over the moon because Gabi is out of his life forever.

Update written by Joseph

Johnny is at the DiMera Mansion and calls Wendy Shin, leaving her a message to call back when she gets it because he has something important to talk about. The doorbell rings and it’s Tripp. Johnny didn’t know he was in town and invites him in. Tripp explains that he came back because of Kayla being seriously ill. Johnny mentions Marlena also being sick and asks how Kayla is. Tripp informs him that Kayla and Marlena are on the mend which Johnny calls great news and says he’ll have to give Marlena a call later. Tripp tells Johnny that he just came here to visit his mom but Johnny informs him that Ava left town. Tripp is surprised and asks why. Johnny reveals that EJ forced her to leave.

Wendy goes to see Gabi in her and Li’s room at the Salem Inn. Gabi greets her and mentions not knowing she was in town. Wendy is surprised Li didn’t tell her. Gabi says they have a lot going on. Wendy informs Gabi that she asked Li for a job at DiMera Headquarters but he shot her down. Wendy adds that she came here to try and convince him but points out that since Gabi is CEO, maybe she could overrule him. Gabi responds that she’s sorry but she’s not going to be able to do that because she’s not CEO anymore.

EJ trashes Gabi’s nameplate from the desk at the DiMera Office. Li questions that being necessary while EJ calls it enjoyable. EJ reminds Li that he said being engaged to Gabi wouldn’t be an issue which he confirms. EJ declares that now that he’s returned to his rightful position on top of DiMera, no unnecessary distractions will be tolerated. EJ states that his sole focus is running his empire. Li points out that it’s their empire as he wouldn’t have this position if not for him. EJ declares that he is CEO now and tells Li to be clear where he’s loyal since he knows what he did to Stefan.

Johnny informs Tripp that Ava and Jake were never really married and how EJ was ready to send Ava to prison for fraud but he made a deal to not press charges if Ava left Salem for good. Tripp can’t believe it and guesses Ava was ashamed to tell him. Johnny says he’s sorry and that he tried to talk EJ out of it since he really likes Ava. Tripp questions him feeling that way even after she tried to scam his family. Johnny responds that none of that mattered to him as much as Ava did. Tripp questions what that means. Johnny explains that he and Ava got really close after she moved in. Tripp questions how close they got.

Gabi informs Wendy that she was voted out as CEO this morning. Wendy questions who is in charge. Gabi informs her that it’s EJ DiMera and that he’s been wanting to get rid of her and anyone who supports her since he came back to town. Wendy guesses that means Li is out too but Gabi reveals that Li is staying on as EJ’s number two.

Stefan joins EJ and Li in the DiMera Office. EJ tells Stefan that he’s happy to have Li on board but it doesn’t change the fact that he took Stefan’s position. Stefan says they all want what’s best for the company. Li remarks that he wouldn’t have stepped in to the role if his father didn’t have doubts about Stefan. EJ argues that it’s obvious that Stefan is competent and once they prove that he’s capable of taking his rightful place as co-CEO, it’s only a matter of time before that happens.

Gwen has a dream about Xander coming back to her and saying he still loved her and wanted to get back together. Gwen then is woken up by Jack arriving.

Xander joins Sarah at the Kiriakis Mansion and greets her along with Maggie. Sarah talks about having a long night after an entire high school football team came in to the hospital with food poisoning. Xander reveals to her that he’s been upstairs because he swallowed his pride and asked Victor if they could move back in.

Tripp questions Johnny about how close he and his mom got. Johnny talks about how Ava was going through a really hard time after Jake died while he was bummed about Chanel leaving him for his sister, so they kind of leaned on each other. Tripp asks how. Johnny says they just gave each other a shoulder to cry on and that was it other than the time they saw each other naked but that’s not what he thinks. Johnny adds that there was also the time when EJ caught them in bed, so Tripp then punches Johnny.

Wendy questions Gabi about EJ naming Li as his second in command. Wendy then thinks back to Johnny’s theory that EJ and Li could be working together. Wendy tells Gabi that she didn’t realize EJ and Li had that kind of relationship. Gabi says they don’t and explains that Wei Shin and the board had doubts about Stefan. Wendy comments that it must have been a shock to Gabi when Stefan showed up. Gabi calls that an understatement. Gabi says when she lost Stefan, she thought her life was over and prayed for a miracle. Wendy points out that she got one but Gabi says he’s not the same man that he was. Wendy questions what she means. Gabi says it’s like a switch was flipped in his brain and now he hates her. Wendy asks if she has any idea why. Gabi doesn’t know how to explain it. Gabi brings up Dr. Rolf and says she feels like somehow in the process, he turned Stefan against her. Wendy asks why he would do that. Gabi responds that Dr. Rolf never liked her but admits going through that much trouble just to make her miserable doesn’t make sense. Wendy asks if it wouldn’t be out of spite. Gabi says there is always a larger purpose behind Dr. Rolf’s experiments.

EJ suggests getting down to business as he, Li, and Stefan sit at the desk. EJ declares that they must make sure they never lose control of the company again. EJ adds that they need to agree that everything discussed here remains confidential. EJ talks about Gabi being extremely dangerous so they don’t want to give her opening. Li assures he will keep his personal life separate from DiMera, so he has nothing to worry about. EJ doesn’t know why Li doesn’t get rid of Gabi altogether. EJ remarks that Gabi may dress nice but she’s a feral cat who used their family business to give herself respectability. EJ calls Gabi trash and argues that she did nothing for the company but taint it’s name. Stefan then interrupts and shouts that’s enough.

Tripp apologizes for hitting Johnny. Johnny understands that Tripp thought he was bragging about sleeping with his mother but clarifies that nothing happened. Johnny admits he would’ve done the same thing if he thought Tripp slept with his mother. Tripp guesses he’s sensitive when it comes to DiMeras because of how EJ treated Ava. Johnny doesn’t blame him and admits EJ was a total ass. Johnny adds that he really does care about Ava and thinks she got a rotten deal. Tripp asks if he has any idea where she went but he doesn’t. Tripp decides to see if he can track her down. Johnny wishes him luck in finding Ava as Tripp then exits the mansion.

Wendy tells Gabi that she’s kind of bummed not to be working for her anymore since she thought a female CEO at DiMera gave her hope about moving up in the company. Gabi says she was so impressed by her and was really looking forward to working with her. Wendy points out that they’ll still be seeing a lot of each other since Gabi is going to be her sister in law. Wendy asks when the wedding day is. Gabi says they haven’t set one yet but they will soon. Gabi tells Wendy that she will likely be the first to know. Wendy decides to get going. Gabi says it was nice to see her and she will let Li know that she stopped by. Wendy tells Gabi that for what it’s worth, she deserves better about the job as she then exits.

EJ questions Stefan if there’s a problem as he thought he couldn’t stand Gabi. Stefan responds that his personal feelings about Gabi have no bearing on his reaction but he just believes that speaking of ill about Li’s fiancée to his face is uncouth. EJ asks if he’d prefer he do it behind his back. Stefan then asks to be excused as he just remembered a pressing errand he has to run and exits the office. Li questions why EJ is pushing Stefan about Gabi and if he’s testing Dr. Rolf’s conditioning. EJ confirms that he is because he needs to make sure it’s working and given his behavior, he’s not sure it is. Li argues that Stefan only defended Gabi because of him but EJ doesn’t believe it. Li questions what they do if Stefan’s feelings for Gabi are starting to resurface. EJ suggests sending Stefan back to Dr. Rolf for a tune up. Li says that Dr. Rolf will just assure him he’s just fine. EJ argues that he’s wrong as Stefan might have cracked after another insult towards Gabi. Li accuses EJ of finding this amusing and enjoying it. EJ remarks that Li obviously doesn’t. Li decides he’s leaving. EJ questions what his problem is. Li complains about EJ’s total disrespect for him and the woman he plans to marry. EJ reminds Li that he just said he is loyal first to the company. Li tells EJ that he doesn’t appreciate him badmouthing his fiancée for any reason. EJ questions what exactly Li is going to do about it.

Jack brings Gwen flowers in the hospital and congratulates her because she’s finally getting out of the hospital. Gwen is surprised to learn she’s officially being released today. Jack confirms he’s here to walk her out which Gwen says she would like very much. Gwen tells Jack that when he walked in, she was dreaming of Xander. Jack knows how much Gwen loved Xander and that those feelings don’t just go away. Gwen acknowledges that Xander is happily married to Sarah and that she said she would let him go but after her accident, he was right there and had this concern in his eyes. Gwen feels it was like Xander cared about her.

Maggie questions Xander and Sarah both wanting to move in to the Kiriakis Mansion. Xander admits that crawling back to Victor was not his first choice. Maggie questions if they can’t afford an apartment. Xander admits he’s racked up debt at the Salem Inn and has no way of paying it off. Maggie brings up Sarah’s salary. Sarah mentions that she’s still on probation and not full time again yet. Xander adds that living in the mansion won’t be forever and only until he gets back on his feet financially which he hopes to be soon as he just asked Jack for a job at the Spectator. Xander mentions not getting an official offer because Jack got distracted by Gwen’s accident. Xander then thinks back to Jack realizing Jennifer hit Gwen.

Jack tells Gwen that she’s right that it was obvious how concerned Xander was and that he does care about her. Gwen assures that she gets that Xander chose Sarah over her. Jack just doesn’t want to see Gwen waste her time, pining away for someone who won’t return her feelings. Jack tells Gwen that she deserves happiness too. Gwen questions if she does after how she treated Sarah and Abigail. Jack says they all make mistakes. Jack encourages Gwen to think about what she’s going to do with the rest of her life when she gets out of here and to focus on the future. Gwen questions what future since she doesn’t have a job or a home. Jack says there’s something he can do about that in the short term and invites her to come home with him.

Wendy walks through the town square and listens to Johnny’s voicemail. Johnny then approaches and says he’s been trying to get in touch with her. Wendy says she just got his message and she has something important to talk to him about too. Johnny suggests they take this somewhere more private.

EJ tells Li that he meant every word he said about Gabi and questions if he’s going to defend her. Tripp then bursts in and confronts EJ, asking who the hell he thinks he is. Tripp informs EJ that Johnny just told him everything so he knows that EJ forced his mom to leave town. EJ mocks everyone throwing temper tantrums today. EJ tells Tripp that Ava got exactly what she deserved for trying to defraud his family and company. Tripp argues that Ava was grieving and trying to keep her head above water. EJ remarks that she just made up a lie about his dead brother. Tripp complains that even if Ava and Jake weren’t married, they were engaged and they loved each other. EJ brings up Ava jumping in to bed with Johnny. Tripp tells EJ that he’s too late if he’s trying to shock him because Johnny already explained everything. EJ wants to know how Tripp reacted to that. Tripp asks if EJ wants to know and then punches EJ in the face.

Gabi sits in her room looking at her engagement ring until Stefan shows up at her door.

EJ hopes Tripp punching him was worth spending the night in jail and threatens to ruin his medical career after charging him with assault and battery. Li suggests being lenient on Tripp, pointing out that Tripp and his brother saved his sister’s life in Hong Kong earlier this summer. Li says he knows Tripp is a really good guy, who just lost his temper because he’s worried about his mom. Li adds that if EJ calls the police, this becomes a major story and asks if he’s sure he wants that kind of publicity when he just took over. EJ reluctantly agrees not to go to the authorities. EJ warns Tripp to get the hell out before he calls security to drop him off the roof. Tripp thanks Li and then exits.

Johnny and Wendy go to Julie’s Place. Johnny goes over how they both have something important to talk about and asks who goes first. Wendy decides she will and informs him that she just got back from going to visit Li, only he wasn’t there and Gabi was. Johnny tells her that his news was the same thing; that Gabi has been ousted from DiMera, EJ is back in charge, and Li is his second in command. Wendy thinks this is exactly what they’ve been looking for. Wendy feels it’s proof that EJ and Li have been in cahoots all along. Johnny argues that it doesn’t prove they had anything to do with Stefan. Wendy mentions how Gabi said Stefan has been acting different ever since he came back, like he hates her without any reasonable explanation. Johnny asks if Gabi had any theories on why that might be. Wendy informs him that Gabi thinks Dr. Rolf might have brainwashed Stefan but also that Dr. Rolf doesn’t do anything without a purpose. Johnny wonders if EJ or Li put Dr. Rolf up to it.

Gabi questions what Stefan is doing at her room and guesses he came to gloat about voting her out. Gabi asks if he doesn’t have better things to do now that he got his shares and partnered up with EJ. Gabi questions him being here to taunt her instead of at the office with EJ. Stefan responds that he didn’t come to taunt her.

EJ wipes blood from his nose from Tripp’s punch. EJ tells Li that he hopes his sister appreciates him going to bat for her knight in shining armor. Li doubts it as they aren’t on the best terms. EJ asks why not. Li informs him that Wendy showed up in Salem yesterday and asked for a promotion at DiMera, but he said no way. EJ asks if she’s good at what she does. Li admits she’s the best, so EJ suggests he should reconsider since what’s best for DiMera is best for both of them. EJ tells Li that he should go find his sister and congratulate her on her promotion as he exits the office.

Wendy tells Johnny that maybe they need to talk to Dr. Rolf and asks how to track him down. Johnny says if EJ or Li put Dr. Rolf up to doing something to Stefan, there has to be a trail and says it’s worth looking in to. Wendy mentions that she already tried hacking in to Li’s e-mail but it’s protected. Johnny says if it’s a DiMera account, maybe he can help. Wendy says she’d need a high level DiMera password. Johnny says he doesn’t have that clearance but maybe he could get in to EJ’s. Wendy asks how since he can’t just ask him. Johnny admits EJ is paranoid but he had a severe injury a couple years ago and is still sensitive about lingering memory lapses so he writes everything down so he doesn’t forget. Johnny says if they could get in to EJ’s computer, they might not need Li’s. Johnny decides to head to the office now while Wendy decides to continue trying to hack Li’s e-mail. Johnny tells her that he will text her if he finds anything and walks away. Tripp then arrives and is surprised to see Wendy, who excitedly hugs him.

Gabi asks Stefan why he is here if not to gloat. Stefan informs her that he came here to deliver divorce papers as he imagines Li wants to get married soon, so she’ll need to be divorced first. Stefan says once Gabi signs the papers, he will file them and they can be rid of this mess of a marriage once and for all. Gabi points out that Stefan didn’t sign the papers. Stefan says he hasn’t yet. Gabi questions what he’s waiting for and tells him to go first.

Xander goes to the hospital and tells Jack that he wanted to follow up with him about bringing him on at the Spectator since he could really use a job. Xander asks if it’s looking good.

Tripp asks what Wendy is doing in Salem since he thought she lived in Alaska. Wendy responds that she thought he lived in Seattle. Tripp explains that he does and he came back because his stepmom had a health scare. Wendy says she’s sorry and asks if she’s alright. Tripp confirms that she’s fine now but he just found out that his mom disappeared.

Ava shows up in a disguise in Gwen’s hospital room and tells Gwen that she needs her help.

Johnny goes to the DiMera Enterprises office and sees that it’s empty so he begins searching through folders on the desk, believing the password has to be there somewhere. EJ then comes back in and questions what Johnny is doing there.

Stefan asks Gabi why it matters who signs the divorce papers first. Gabi questions why he didn’t sign them before he came if he hates her so much. Stefan assures that he wants this over as quick as possible, so Gabi tells him to sign. Stefan then takes the divorce papers but hesitates. Gabi questions what is stopping him from doing it. Gabi argues that she knows something in his brain is telling him to despise her, but urges him not to sign the divorce papers. Gabi knows he feels something and that something left inside of him still loves her. Li then comes home and questions what is going on in here.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Wendy, listen, it’s uh, it’s Johnny. Gimme a call back when you get this. There’s something I need to talk to you about. It’s important.

Trip . I, I, I didn’t know you were in town. Come on in. Yeah, I’m just here for a while. Uh, I came back because Kayla has been seriously ill. I’m sure you know all about that. Yeah, of course I do. Yeah. Uh, my, my grandma Marlene has also been sick. How is Kayla? She’s down the mind, Thank God. And, uh, and so as your grandmother, really No, that’s, that’s great news.

Yeah. Yeah. Awesome. It’s a huge relief. I’ll have to, uh, give my grandma a call. Yeah, I’m sure she’d like that. Uh, anyway, I just came by to see my mom. Is she around? Oh, you, you didn’t know your, your mom. She left town. She moved away. Why? Uh, because my dad forced her to two.

It’s great to see you, Wendy. Uh, when did you get in yesterday? My brother didn’t mention. No, No. But um, in his defense, we have a lot going on. Then I’m guessing. He also didn’t mention that I asked him for a job at Damara headquarters. Then he shot me down. He said, No, sure did. So I came here to ask him to reconsider.

But since you’re ceo, maybe you could. Overruling, I’m sorry, Wendy, but I’m not gonna be able to do that. I’m uh, not CEO anymore.

Goods to bad A rush. Was that really necessary? Probably not, but it was certainly.

When I offered you this job, you said that being engaged to Gabby wouldn’t be an issue and it isn’t good because now that I’ve returned to my rightful position at top to mirror, no unnecessary distractions will be tolerated. My sole focus is running my empire, our empire. You wouldn’t have this position if it weren’t for me.

However, I’m the one who is here. I’m CEO now, so let’s be clear why your loyalties lie, especially since I know what you did to my brother.

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

So are, are you saying that my mom and Jake were never even married? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, my, my dad hired a team of detectives and. They were able to prove that Ava concocted that whole lie. He was ready to send her to prison for fraud, so it took off. He made a deal with her. He agreed he wouldn’t press charges if she agreed to leave Salem for good.

I, I, I don’t believe this if. I guess you didn’t tell me because she was ashamed. I’m sorry. For what it’s worth, um, I, I tried to talk him out of it. I really like your mom. Yeah. Even if she’s tried to scam your family. Nah. It’s just business. So the damaris lose a little pocket change. None of that mattered to me as much as your mom did.

What does that mean? Faster. She moved in. She and I got really close. Oh really? How close

you? You were voted out as ceo. That sucks. Just happened this morning. So who’s in charge E, Dara, Of course. Another entitled Straight White Guy. Yeah, but it’s no surprise to me he’s been wanting to get rid of me ever since he got back into town. Me and anyone who supports me. Guess that means Lee’s out too.

Nope. Nope. Lee’s still there. In fact, he’s being kept on Esky days number two. Oh, really?

Good morning, Stephanie. Morning. I assume you overheard me. Chiding Shin. I did, but I’m not sure over what? Well, it was on your behalf actually. You see why I’m happy to have Lee on board. It doesn’t change the fact that he only ascended to his current role by usurping your position. I was simply trying to keep the company on track.

We all want what’s best for the company, right? And I hope you know I wouldn’t have stepped in if my father hadn’t expressed his doubts about your mental competence. Doubts that are completely unfound. I appreciate the support EJ s Stephen. It’s obvious to me as it should be to anyone that you are totally com manis, and once we prove unequivocally to all concern that that is the case and that you are capable of taking your rifle places as my co ceo, it’s only a matter of time before that comes to pass.

It’s not right Lee. Of course.

Gwen. Gwen.

Oh, Quinn haven’t been able to start thinking about you. Oh, since I watched them wheel you in here after that accident. What? What you talking about? I’ll see you lying there looking so helpless knowing that you could have died. When that moment I realized I still love you, Quinn.

You love me. I never stopped loving you. I just keep thinking back to all the great times that we had, all the, the laughs and the love making. I miss those times. I miss you.

What about. Oh, Sarah was this ideal in my head. I convinced myself that she was the perfect woman for me, respected doctor from a good family, and then when she came back, felt obligated to reconcile. But now I realize that’s what it was, an obligation because the person I really want to be with, It’s you after all for kindred’s spirits, aren’t we?

Oh, and you. You are my one true love now and forever. That is, if you’ll still have me, if I’ll still have you of. Of, I’ll still have you. Oh, Sandra, I you, I love you with all my hots.

Uh, Gwen. Gwen

dad. Hi.

I can come back if I’m interrupting.

Good morning. Beautiful. Hi. Oh, and good morning to my equally beautiful mother-in-law. Oh, you know you don’t have to butter me up, Xander. You know I adore you. Just save those compliments for your wife. You’re exhausted. Burnt out, wife. Oh, bumpy nights. Bumpy and long. An entire high school football team came in with food poisoning.

You really haven’t lived until you’ve seen giant humans vomiting on one another. You paint quite the picture still. I think I prefer that to what I’ve been doing this morning. Why? Where have you been upstairs? I swallowed my pride and asked Uncle Vi, We can move back in.

Answer me Jay. Just how close did you and my mom get? Or you’re, you’re asking if, if we, Yeah, I’m asking if, Okay. Look, Ava was going through a really hard time, you know, it was right after Jake died and I was still pretty bummed about Chanel leaving me for my sister. Um, and we just kind of, you know, Leaned on each other, leaned on each other, how we just, we, we gave each other a shoulder to cry on.

And that was it. Yeah. Pretty much. Other than, Well, that there was that time we saw each other naked, but, But that’s, What’d you think? And then even when my dad caught us in bed, we just came,

EJ named my brother as his second in command. Yeah. Why do you think my brother and your father could be working together? I don’t know. It’s possible, right? They both want the same thing. I, I do don’t realize EJ and Lee had that kind of relat. Hey, don’t. So why wouldn’t EJ put his brother Stephan in that position?

The thing is that your father and the board had some concerns about Stephan’s cognitive abilities. I mean, the man’s been in a coma for four years. Must have been a shock to you when he showed up. It’s shock. That’s a, Well, that’s an understatement. You know, when I lost him. I thought my life was over. I prayed over and over for a miracle.

You got one? I did, but uh, it’s not the same man that he was. What do you mean?

I don’t know. It’s like a, a switch was flipped in his brain and now he hates me. Do you have any idea why? I don’t know how to explain it. Except. Except what? All right. Look, Dr. Wolf, he’s the mad scientist that we can thank for Stephan’s return. I just feel like somehow in the process, he turned my husband against me.

Why would he do that? I don’t know. Wolf Wolf’s never liked me, but yeah. No, no. Through that much trouble just to make me miserable. Doesn’t make sense. Okay? So if he did do something to make Stefan hate you, it wouldn’t have been out of spite. No, no. That’s not the pattern of this lunatic. Now there’s always some larger purpose behind his experiments.

Should we get down to business?

Now that Dira is back in the family’s control, we must make sure we never lose it Again, you’re here, but before we begin, we need to agree that anything we discuss here remain confidential. You don’t have any problems keeping secrets from your fiance, Dude, . I wouldn’t have accepted this job if I did.

Because thanks to her, long over you dismissal. She’s a wounded animal and that makes her extremely dangerous. The last thing we want is to give her an opening. I assure you, I will keep my personal life separate from Dira. You don’t talk in your sleep. Do you have nothing to worry? When it comes to Gabby and I, honestly, I don’t know why you don’t get rid of that woman altogether.

Excuse me. She may dress some nice clothes, but Gabby Hernandez is a feral cat who used our family business to give herself respectability as if that were possible. The woman is trash, a low red schemer. She did nothing for this company, but taint its good name with her. Nasty Bette. That’s enough.

Oh, yeah. Now, now you want to help me. Hmm? I’m sorry. I’m honestly not sure why that happened. It happened because you thought I was bragging to you about sleeping with your mother, which I did not. You didn’t. But but you just said Yeah, that my dad caught us together in bed, but nothing happened. Seriously.

Oh. Uh, be all right. I’m fine. Yeah. That my, my jaw’s gonna be a little sore later, but I’ll. I’m sorry, I, I shouldn’t have done that. Probably would’ve done the same thing if, uh, I thought she slept with my mother. So I guess I’m just a little sensitive when it comes to Damaris cuz the way your dad treated my mom.

Yeah. I, I, I don’t, uh, I don’t blame you. You know, it was a total s. But like I said, I, I, I really do care about your mom and I think she got a raw deal from my family.

Do you have any idea where she went? I don’t. Sorry. It’s okay. Thanks. I’ll see if I can track her down and I’m sorry. It’s okay. It’s okay. Just, uh, Good luck finding your mom.

You know, I’m kind of bummed that I won’t be working for you anymore considering my father’s rather retrograde ideas about women having a female ceo. Damara actually gave me hope about moving up in this. No, I appreciate you saying that, but Wendy, I was so impressed by you. I really wish we could have worked together well.

We’ll still be seeing quite a bit of each other.

You are gonna be my sister-in-law, right? ? Yeah, I am indeed. Yes. Your brother told me you were the. Person he called after he proposed. Yeah, I was honored to be his very first call. Congratulations.

So when’s the big day? Uh, well we actually haven’t said it yet, but soon, hopefully. Great. Keep me boasting, Coursey. You’ll probably be the first one to know that too. Thanks.

Well, I. I should probably get going. Yeah. It was really nice to see you and I’ll definitely tell Lee that you stopped by. Yeah, thanks. It was, uh, it was good to see you too,

Gabby. For what it’s worth, you deserve better. Better than you brother. No. I mean about the job,

Is there a problem? Correct me if I’m wrong, but I thought you couldn’t stand Gabby. No, my, um,

my personal feelings about Gabby have no bearing on my reaction.

I just believe that speaking Ill about a man’s fiance to his face is, uh, unco to say the least. Oh, you’d prefer I do it to him behind his back, You know, if you’ll excuse me. I just realize there’s a pressing that I have to run.

How are you pushing all like that about Gabby? Are you testing rolls conditioning? Precisely. I need to make sure it’s working, which given his behavior just now, I’m not sure it is. If you heard Stephan, He’s the only defending Gabby because of me. Oh, come. No, you don’t believe that anymore than I do. Okay.

So his feelings for Gabby. It might be starting to resurface. What are we gonna do? It might be time to send old Steph back to the good doctor for a tuna. Ralph’s just gonna assure you that his conditioning is holding up just fine. Then he’s wrong. One or two more insults to Gabby, and he might have cracked, at least by the very least, best an aneurysm.

I’m glad you’re finding this so amusing. You’re enjoying. Well, you obviously don’t. In fact, it looks like you might bust an UR yourself. I’m outta here not until you tell me what the hell your problem is. My problem is your total disrespect for me and the woman I plan to marry. Whoa. And here I thought your first loyalty was to D Mirror.

In fact, you just said as much of me a few minutes ago and quite emphatically at that. Well, I’m about to say something else quite emphatically. I don’t appreciate you bad-mouthing my fiance no matter what. The reason I really, And what exactly are you going to do about it?

Oh, at least for me. Oh, who else? Congratulations my dear. What for? For getting out of here. Finally. I’m here to spring. You really? Are they officially releasing me today? That’s what they told me. I’m here to walk you into the sunlight if you’ll let me.

Of course. I’ll let you. I’d like that very much.

So, so, um,

Dad, about, for what you saw earlier, Oh, oh, oh, no explanation necessary. You’re a grown woman. You have very right to, uh, have a slogan with a pillow if the pillows consenting

right.

I suppose I was dreaming well, it looked like a very nice dream, and unless you were fantasizing about the state puffed marshmallow, man, I can assume that the pillow was a stand in for Xander. Sadly, Gwen, I know how much you loved him, and I know that those feelings don’t simply go away because we want them.

And no, they don’t. And yes, I know that he’s married to Sarah and I, I know that they seem to be happy together. And yes, I know that I said that I would let him go. But, but what?

But after my accident, he, Hey, it was right there. He had this concern in his eyes. No, it was, it was, It was more than that. It was, It was like he cared about me.

You both wanna move in here. Well crawl back to Uncle Victor is hardly my first choice, but I see another option. You can’t afford an apartment. And I’ve racked up a fair amount of debt at the sale moon and I have no way to pay it off. So, Well, Sarah, you’re earning a salary? Uh, well half a salary cuz I’m still on probation, not full time yet.

Oh. And it won’t be forever. It’s just like getting myself back on my feet financially, which will hopefully be soon. Just asked Jack for a job. You’re gonna work for Jack at the spect. Well, I haven’t had an official offer yet, but that’s not cuz Jack was distracted. But I think Jennifer’s the one who had Gwen

Sanders. Jack was distracted by Gwen’s Aism of, Of course,

you’re right Gwen. Zander heard that you were hurt. It was obvious how concerned he was, and he does care about you, sweetheart. But honey, he chose Sarah. He loves her, and he chose her over me. Yes, I, I get it when I, I, I don’t want to see. Wasting your time pining away for someone who’s not gonna return your feelings,

you deserve happiness too. Gwen, do I? After what did to Sarah and to Abigail, I made my mistakes. We all make mistakes. You know what I want you to do? Is to concentrate on feeling better. Figure out what you’re gonna do with the rest of your life, not that you’re getting outta here. Focus on the future. The future.

What future I, I don’t even have a job. I don’t have a home. Well, I suppose there’s something I can do about. Least in the short term. How about if you come home with me,

Wendy? Listen, it’s, uh, it’s Johnny. Gimme a call back when you get this. There’s something I need to talk to you about. It’s important. Hey, Wendy, I’ve been trying to get in touch with you. Yeah. I just got your. I have something important to talk to you about too. Okay, well then, uh, maybe we should take this someplace a little more private.

I meant every what I said about Gabby. You want to defend her on good? Right ahead. What the hell do you think you are? Excuse me. How the hell did you get in here? Johnny just told me everything. I know that you forced my mom to leave town . Once we, they, we been throwing temper ats today. Oh, so you’re at.

Why would I? Your mother got exactly what she deserved. She tried to defraud my family and my company. She was grieving and trying to keep her head above water by making up a lie about my dead brother. Maybe they weren’t officially married, but they were engaged. They loved each other. Oh, is that why she waited a whole five minutes before jumping into bed with my son?

Didn’t he tell you that? Look, if you’re trying to shock me, you’re too late. Johnny already told me everything. Oh, really? And how did you. Oh, you wanna know how I reacted? I do. Okay.

One day, did you forget something?

Oh.

Oh. I hope that was worth spending the night in jail. Not to mention blowing your medical career after you were charged with a sort of battery. Let’s show the guy some leniency. Huh? Tripping. His brother saved my sister’s life in Hong Kong over the summer, so I’m not only grateful to him, but I know he’s a really good guy who just lost his temper because he’s worried about his mom.

Not to mention it, if you call the. This becomes a major story. You sure you want that kind of publicity, right? When you’ve just taken over?

Fine. I want to love the authorities,

but get the hell out of here before I call in security and have them drop you off the roof accident.

Thank you

so. You have something important to discuss? I have something important to discuss. Who goes first? I go first. That was easy. I just came back from visiting my brother. Okay. Only he wasn’t there. Gabby was, And it turns out that Gabby has been ousted from Damara. My dad is the new CEO And your brothers is second in command.

Yeah, that that was my thing too. I mean, this is exactly what we were looking for. Right. If this just proof that Lee and EJ have been in cahoots all along. I don’t know what does, I mean, it, it, it, it definitely looks that way, but just because they pushed Gabby out doesn’t mean they had anything to do with Stephan, except, Gabby also told me that Stephan has been acting different ever since he came back from the dead.

You mean like he hates her now? Yeah. Yeah. Without any reasonable explanation. Does she have any theories on why that might be? Well, she suspects that Dr. Wolf guy brainwashed him or. But she also said Ralph doesn’t do anything without a purpose, so maybe my dad or your brother put him up to it. Step. Yeah.

Why don’t you just come on in, but what are you doing here? Wait. I know you came here to code. You came here to rub it in my face that you voted me out. I bet you’ve been wanting to do that, right? Isn’t it great? You voted me outta your life. You voted me outta your company too. Yeah. I don’t, You have better things to do.

I mean, you got your precious. Shares you. You pointed it up with your heartless brother to vote me out. Shouldn’t you be at the office with EJ celebrating? Finally, send. You’re here taunting me, Gabby. I didn’t come here to taut you.

I hope your sister appreciates you going to bat for her night in Shin. I doubt it. I know exactly on me. Best of terms, why not? Jwe actually showed up in Salem yesterday and asked for a promotion here at Tamara, to which my response was, No way or words to that effect. She’s a coder, right? Yes. Is she good at what she does the best?

Well then perhaps you should reconsider. After all, what’s best for DE is best for the both of us now while I go and put some ice on my nose to stop from swelling. Perhaps you should go and find your sister congratulate on a promotion.

Maybe the guy we really need to talk to is Dr. Roth. How do we track him down? Well, if my dad or your brother did put Ralph up to doing something to ste, there’s gotta be a trail, right? And maybe they’re still in contact with him. Worth looking into. I already tried Hacking Lee’s email account. He’s got it well protected.

Well, if it’s dme, how maybe. All it would take is any other high level to mirror password. I could work my way in through back door. I don’t have a high enough clearance level for that butt. Maybe I could get into my dad’s how It’s not like you can just ask him. No, no. And he is a pretty paranoid guy.

However, he had a severe injury a couple years ago and he’s still sensitive about lingering memory lapse. So he writes everything down. That way he doesn’t forget it, but things. Passwords. Yes. And if we can get into my dad’s computer, we might not even need your brothers. We’ll see. Either way it would be a big help.

I’m gonna head over there now. Okay. In the meantime, I’ll keep trying to crack my brother’s password. I’ll text you if I find anything.

Wendy, Chris? Hey.

Hey, well, if you didn’t come here to float, then why are you here? Actually, I, uh,

I came here to give you these.

Imagine your fiance wants to get married soon, and last time I checked, you need to be divorced first.

Divorce papers? Yes. Once you sign them, I’ll go ahead and file and we can be rid of this mess of a marriage once and for all.

You didn’t sign them? Not yet, no. Well, What are you waiting for, Stefan? Why don’t you go first?

Hey, Jack. Um, Sorry to bother you mate. I, your assistant taught me. Oh, it’s all right. I was just checking. Going out of the hospital. What’s up? Well, I want to follow up with you about a conversation from the pub. Oh. What conversation is that about? Maybe bringing me on at the Spectator. I could really use a job, mate.

Is it looking good?

What are you doing here? I thought you lived in Alaska and I thought you lived in Seattle. I, I do, but I, I just came back cause my stepmom had a health. Oh my God, I’m so sorry. Is she, is she all right? Yeah. No, no, she’s fine now. Thanks. But, uh, I just found out that my mom disappeared.

It’s Flo my lovely dad. It’s not dad.

I need your help

dad.

Oh, come on’s. Gotta be here somewhere.

What you doing here?

Why does it matter who signs them first? Thus it doesn’t. Okay, well then why didn’t you sign them before you got here? If you hate me so much, wouldn’t you want us to be over as quickly as. I do. All right then sign away. Fine.

Here you go.

What’s to matter, Stephan? Can’t you do it? What’s stopping?

Nothing. Stephan, just look at me. Okay? I know. I know that there is something in your brain that is telling you to despise me, but if there is a shred of you in there that doesn’t hate me, that doesn’t want you to sign these papers, just don’t do it. Okay? I know that you feel something. I know that you do.

Even if it’s the tiniest flicker, I know that something left inside you still loves.

What’s going on in here?

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

I know I told you that I didn’t want you and trip here. I’m so glad you like we’d be anywhere else. Know trick. Should be back from the lab real soon. Hopefully with some good news about that drug. The police got their hands on. John said he thought it might be a trick. Well, I’m banking on him being wrong about that.

Could you, My purse.

Stephanie, come here. Come closer.

Grandma Caroline’s bracelet. I want you to,

but it’s your, you almost never take it all. You wear it and

yeah. Austin, so your, your father-in-law is going to be your stepfather again. What do you think of that? Yeah. Thank you. I, I really wish that Roman and I have been able to send out invitations, but we’re kind of up against the clock, you know? No, sweetie. I don’t want you to come out. I mean, there’s nothing that you can do the, the treatment is an orchid that’s now extinct, so short of a miracle.

We just might have our miracle.

Did you hear me, Brady? I gave the police enough serum for the first dose. Yeah, I heard you. Oh, good. Now it’s time for you to hold up your end of the bargain. See, you’re gonna dump Chloe and you, Rachel, and I can be a family again. And if you even think about reneging on our deal, just remember the future treatments depend on my goodwill.

And you wouldn’t want those three women’s deaths on your head, would you?

What happens now? We monitor your vital signs closely and wait for the drug to take effect, and if it does, then. It does, but it does. You’ll give it to Caden and and Kayla. Yes. Yes. That’s the plan. What’s that? My heart, it feels like it’s racing. Okay. My light on fucking deep, slow breath. I can’t, I can’t breathe.

I can’t breathe. What’s going on? What’s sweetheart? Sweetheart? Easy.

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

It’s a Trinity knot. My pop gave it to my mother on her wedding day and she gave it to me online.

Mom, this is your bracelet. I can’t take it. No. I want you

on, Stephanie, you know better than to argue with you, mom. Okay? But I’m giving it back to you as soon as you get better.

Hi news about this serum. I just talked to Dr. Patel. The lab analyzed the drug and found that it contains organic compounds from the orchid For testing our Marla as we speak to make sure she doesn’t have any adverse side effects. Sweetness, you’re gonna be cured. Well, when can she have it? She needs it now and she will get it.

Okay. But as soon as they confirm that it works and that it’s. She and Gur next,

don’t you think we’re getting a little out of ourselves before we start negotiating about the second and third dose? Maybe we should make sure that the first one works. You know, you really should have a, uh, more hopeful attitude. I mean, Marlena could really use the, uh, positive vibes right now. Goodbye.

Don’t you call back. Brady, what was the that all about?

Oh, on your doc. You’re okay. You’re okay. Stay with me. Focus on me. Right here. Right here. Look at me. That’s it. That, That’s it. Just me and you. That’s it. Breathe. Breathe. Breathing and honey. Oh, breathe.

Marlena? Yeah. How do you feel? Uh, I feel better. Okay. Your blood pressure is getting back down to normal and your vitals are rebounding. Wow. So you’re saying what he’s saying, it works. I can feel it. Like is it working?

Uh, but that was, that was Paul on the phone. He was asking me all these questions about Marlene’s treatment, and I’m frustrated because I, I don’t know what the hell to tell him. I don’t have any answers. Well, he sounded pretty mad. Are you sure That’s all it was?

Oh my God. How. Uh, I want to run some labs to make sure she’s not having any adverse reactions, but I’m cautiously optimistic that we have the anti oath and it will also work on Kayla and my mom. That is great news. That’s so you, you’re gonna let Val and Eric know? I’ll let ’em know. I’ll, I’ll tell him at the chapel.

Okay, good. I’m gonna have to laugh. All right, Rex. Thank you. Good luck with Kate. Oh my goodness. That is the best news. Oh yeah. Oh, you must be so relieved. Yeah, I am. I am relieved. Are you sure that you’re okay? I’m, yeah. Hey, listen, I, I just, um, and I’m just so thankful that you, you were here for me and for, for my family and, um, I’m really lucky to have you.

I, uh, I really love you. I love you too.

I’ll be back. Okay. Okay.

Hello Chloe.

And I know I’m, I’m not out of the woods yet. But I feel as though I can, I can see the sunlight through the trees. Oh, so can I talk? I can also see you’re getting a little color in your cheeks and you’ve got a lot of hope in your eyes. , I’m afraid you’re gonna have to put up with me for a while. Oh wow. I like the sound of it.

I think I can do better. How about two infinity? And it’s beyond

I love you.

Okay. I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna sound ungrateful at all, but who decided that Marlena would get the first dose? Well, she volunteered and she got sickest the fastest. So, So she has the least amount of time left. You should go to the hospital. You should see her and see your sister. Well, I will soon as my replacement get there.

The replacement? Yeah. I didn’t want you to be alone, so I called somebody and come be with you while I’m gone. Oh.

What’s up new? Wes? What happened in my invitation? I want to get lost in the mail. Sad. You hear that? Sweet. It’s good news. You just have to hang in there a little bit longer. Rex is doing some blood work on Marlena and assuming that comes back with positive news, Mom. Mom, are you all right mom? Kayla. Kayla, baby.

Hey. Hey

Kayla Keila. Can you hear me? Oh, that’s it, baby. Come back to us. It’s all on my finger with your eyes. We love you, mom. You’re gonna be okay. Trip. What’s going on? This is the normal course of the illness. We were hoping not to get to this stage. Right. Great news. I just heard from Rex Marla’s on the road to recover.

How’s do run Outta time? She needs that drug now

Roman and I would have loved to have had you at the wedding, but it was a well kind of last minute. Ah, I know that. I’m happy for you. I’m sorry I didn’t come sooner. Wow. I’m sorry I wasn’t there for you either. I’m talking work. There we go. Cde. I knew when they released him that he wouldn’t change. He never changed.

Okay. Stop it. There’s, there’s no way that you could have known what would happen. No one could have known. Oh, so random is so cruel. Not because he was afraid. We’d find out he’d put a bullet in ej.

It’s so unfair that Dr. Wolf could bring EJ back, but there’s nothing he could do for her. For

What are you doing here? Well, I came to see Marlena, of course. She is my daughter’s step grandmother. So how is she? Well, they seem to have found a treatment that is working, but since you were furious with Marlene, I’m pretty sure you don’t give a damn how she’s doing. So what are you really doing here?

Hm. Well, I’ll admit, sir, I do have an ulterior motive.

My mom’s getting worse. Please. She needs that drug. She needs it now. I don’t care if you’re having finished running your test. You need to give it to her now. Okay, Everybody make some space. Please. Please, guys.

How long will it take to work? All the effects on my Elena we’re almost immediate. Her heart raced for a few minutes, but everything started to improve shortly after. Kayla. Kayla, can you hear me? She waking up. She’s waking up sweetness. Um, what did you say? Hell no. No. What is that?

Why is this happening, Right? Is this a reaction to the judge? I need everyone outta the room please, baby. You’re gonna beat this. You hear me? Oh, here mom. Okay. I’ll tell you what everybody, it’s the best thing we can do for right now is clear the room, let them work. I’m not leaving my wife, she, I’m not leaving.

She needs me Here.

Stop compressions. We have a pulse. Ah, she’s back. BP and heart rate stabilizing.

Hey. Oh baby. Here you’re, you got to zero. You gotta get. Okay, you’re gonna get back. Why did that happen? Why did her heart stop beating? Okay. Was it to assume that caused the flat line? There’s no way to know for sure. All right. So it’s safe to give that drug to your mom or not?

I can’t believe that I either thought Clive was a decent. I sure know. I pick ’em, don’t I? Well, I say you’ve done pretty well for yourself this time. Yes, Yes, I have. Roman is the most loyal, most caring man I’ve I’ve ever known. I just hope that Weth.

Sorry for what? Sorry, Because I wanna be positive, I have to stay positive. You know? I beat stage four cancer and if I get to see him, I’m gonna beat this as well. Damn right. You are. You’re Kay. Freaking Roberts. You are certified. Bad ass.

Wow. You have an ulterior. I’m, I’m positively shocked. I’m here about Rachel. You made it your mission to come between me and my daughter, and you’re not gonna get away with it. I am not on some mission. I’m just trying to do what’s best for Brady and Rachel. Okay. What is that? Trying to erase me from their lives.

I don’t know what you want from me. I already told you that I offered to end my relationship with Brady for Rachel’s sake, and he refused. Okay. Instead of offering, maybe you can just do it yourself. It’s less humiliating that way, don’t you think? To be the one to end it. Christopher,

what are you doing here?

John, do you have an update on Kate or Kayla? Let’s do waiting. I think we should have heard something by now. Serial worked for you? I’m, I’m sure it’s worked for them. Are you keeping something from No, no, no, no, no. I’m, No, I just, I want you to focus on your own recovery. I’m sure we’ll have good news about them soon enough.

That’s right. Sweetness. You rest as much as you need to. I’ll be right here when you wake up. We all will be. Competitor soon. Okay. Mom, got a lot of people counting on you. I need a little guidance here guys. We almost lost Kayla just now. Okay. And you said Marlin’s heart was racing like crazy when she got the injection.

So how do we know this serum is safe to get Kate? It’s a matter of risk assessment. Okay. It’s possible the drug may Kayla worse, or a cardiac risk could have been a result of the illness itself.

Why isn’t she waking up? She’s about tok.

Hi, call yourself. It’s so nice to see those pretty blue eyes again.

Why are you here? Why am I here? Well, I’m here to support my sister. You should be with Kate. She spent wait 10 seconds already told me what to do. It’s okay. What do you mean? I know you blame yourself that RPS could hurt us.

It was your fault. I just want you three to be okay. How you feeling, Caleb?

Better, like maybe I won’t be going anywhere any time soon.

You think you can hold outta the four for me? We can go give this serum to my mom.

So I saw the press release. That’s your new job? Yeah. Pi. Keeping up on the business news, huh? Mm. Wow. Not like I have a lot else to do. You, um, you’re working for Stephanie Johnson? Yeah, I just started, um, enjoying the work. Professionally, it’s fine. Personally, personally, I may have crossed the line, but said.

Damn. I, I don’t know. It’s not important. We don’t need to talk about it right now. Oh, it’s so, Come on, come on. It is important. I wanna hear all about it. Actually. It’s a distraction of me. Okay. Then, um, the other night, something I, we. If I had too much to drink, you know, she was, um, upset about her mother and we were both in an emotional place.

I mean, in the end, nothing hap nothing happened. I like Stephanie, but

I just realized I’m not, I’m not ready to be with somebody. Because that,

because Abby is, she’s still with me. I call her go.

If Rachel’s. Then she should have called me. Okay. I can, I can go pick her up right now. Okay. You going to get her is going to make things worse. When are you going to admit that this is an untenable situation? Chris and I can fix it. Okay. Tell me, tell me how. Hmm. Rachel cannot stand Chloe, and more importantly, she can’t stand that Chloe is with her father.

So every day that you two are together, she is pulling further away from. I would never do anything to hurt her. And you know it. You being in this relationship is hurting her. How can you be so selfish? Oh, you’re calling him selfish. Oh, you know what, , Oh my god. You know, you too know what to do to fix this.

So I’m gonna leave you alone and you two can chat. Oh. And Brady, please give Marlena my. And, uh, I do hope she has a full and lasting recovery.

Oh, she knows exactly how to trigger me, and I’m so sorry that Rachel’s having a hard time. It is keep telling you, it’s not your fault, it’s her fault. It’s hers. But now, now I have no choice but to do something about it.

I don’t think I’ll ever be ready to let Abigail go. Yeah. Now I know you feel that way. , Chad, I would never push you to do something that you’re not comfortable with. You know? I would just say take it day by day by day. You know what feels right to you. Just don’t be too hard on yourself.

Okay.

Hey, what’s wrong?

Okay. Katie, Kate. Hey, Kate. Kate. Kate. Hey, and hey Kate. I need you to stay with me. Okay. Open your eyes. Okay. I’m calling Roman.

Stay here. Just sit next to me. Sit next, Kate. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Look at me. Look, I need you to, I need you to stay with me, okay? I’m gonna be totally selfish here, but I can, I can’t lose you too, Kate. Hey Kate, I need you to stay with me. I need you. Kate, Kate, Kate. What’s going on Bob? I don’t know Tracy Chase, can you hear me?

We were talk. We were talking. She was fine. I got this serum, I’m deaf excuse.

Much better. That is where it belongs and where it will stay. Well, it will be yours someday. I don’t know who’s more stubborn. You or your mom. All right, we’ll take that as a compliment. Oh, we all know who the most stubborn person is in this family. . Okay. Oh, I see . Well, hey, I’m gonna run down to the lap with these blood samples.

Okay? A trip. Wait a second.

You’re

Real. Someone is looking better. Kristen, for holding. What? Oh, well, um, I heard the wonderful news from Marlena’s Recovery and I had to come by. Why? Why ? Well, I wanted to tell you, Marlena, that I forgive you, forgive me what for, but I asked you to intervene on my behalf in the situation with Rachel’s custody.

And you refused. It wasn’t my place. Right. And I have to admit I didn’t take it very well. You know, the idea that he of all people would support keeping a mother away from their own child, and now the spiteful side of me might have, Hmm. Briefly hoped that you maybe suffered a little, possibly even died.

What the hell’s the matter with you? I’m not finished. John not finished. Now I was going to say, Oh wow. In those dark moments, I reminded myself that God is all forgiving. He miraculously intervened to save you. And I believe that he will intervene in my situation as well.

Hmm.

What did tri say to you? Well, she, uh, suggested that I offer to break up with you again, or that I just end it myself and not give you a choice.

Um, what are you doing?

I was just, uh, I was just thinking that you may be right, Chloe.

I mean, we, we can’t go on like that.

What you, you look, you, you know that if there was any other way, any, any other way at all that we could, uh, make this, you know, I love you, right? You, you, you, you know I love you and I love I, but I lo I love my little girl. She’s not, well. She’s, she’s, she’s m. And I, I, you, you, you always keep reminding me that I have to put my little girl first.

So

wait. I, Hi Beth. I’m sorry. Are, are you breaking up with me?

I’m so, I’m sorry.

Oh, pulse is strong. Blood pressure’s good and she’s coming back. Oh my God, I can, I can totally feel it. I feel actually feel better already. Well, she’s experienced, you know, rebound of her vital signs just like Marlena and Kayla did, but without the side effect system. Thank God. Yes, Yes. And thank you my genius.

Son, You saved my life. Oh honey, I love you. Thank you. Thank you. And you. Thank you. Thank for coming here. For being here. I love you. Oh my God. So fell the two of you get lost. What? You’re kicking us out already. Okay. Well, no offense, but it is my wedding night. Okay. Say no more.

You sure?

Well, Mr. Brady. This is Brady. Ah,

you know, a couple of hours ago I thought my wedding night was going to be my night. Now,

What does that look? Oh, I, I think you know what that look is really? Mm-hmm. , Are you sure you’re feeling up for that? Why don’t you drive

free? The last time our whole family was together like this was when your father was kidnapped and brainwashed and nearly killed. Good times. No. Now it took me almost on my deathbed, first of all, to get together. I promise that we won’t wait that long.

Okay. Now can I please have some time alone with my wife? I think we can make that happen. Hi, feel better, mom. I love you, baby. I love you.

I’m so happy. Okay. And. Doctor, Doctor

sweetness, my love. Not that I don’t always appreciate how lucky I am to have you. We’re thinking that I could’ve lost you.

Please don’t ever scare me like that again. I don’t, I, you better make the same promise. Promise. So from now on, we’re gonna both stay healthy and safe. And I’m gonna tell you every single day how much I love you and how much you mean to me. And I’m gonna do this with you.

Is it crazy for me to say that this is the happiest day of my life? ? No. Wait. I’m not crazy at all. , the same goes for me.

You know, I would’ve worn that bracelet if mom had given it. You boy, you think just cuz you’re the girl, you automatically inherit it. Well, I’m also the first born. Yeah. But it would’ve matched my tattoo perfectly. Wait, what? Tattoo? Where? Oh, you’ll never see it.

Oh,

Chad. Hi. I just heard about your mom. I’m really happy for you and your family. Thanks. How’s Kate? Much better, thank you. That’s great. If you wanna take the day and spend it with your family, I can handle things at the office. Nope. I’ll be there in the morning, bright and early. See then, looking forward to it.

Why don’t you stop talking and code and just spit out what you’re trying to say. Ah, John, I believe you understand me perfectly well. Now I’m gonna leave you two love birds to your cringy PDAs. You’re welcome.

They always on a about, I don’t care. I’m not going to let her cast Paul on our happiness.

Now. Now what is it? Oh, I dunno, Doc. Just after all these years of Orpheus coming after us, I just. Oh God. I hope it’s finally over.

Hello? Hey, you, you have to look at me. You have to blame me. I, I never wanted it to come to this and I, I believe one day it’s, it’s, it’s okay. Okay. I, I understand. I’m the one who told you that there was. No joy, so I, I should go. Oh, Chloe. Chloe, please just give my love to Marla.

You could do it.

You are not, you are not gonna get away with this, but I already have.

She’s a big girl, Brady. She’s gonna be just fine. Until she finds out that you’ve thrown her over for the likes of me, she will put a stake in there, so-called story

you.
