Update written by Joseph

Steve, Joey, and Stephanie watch over Kayla in the hospital. Kayla tells Joey that she said she didn’t want he and Tripp there, but she’s really glad they are. Joey says they wouldn’t be anywhere else. Steve notes that Tripp should be back from the lab soon and hopes that he will have good news about the serum. Kayla asks Steve to get her purse so he does. Kayla tells Stephanie that she wants her to have Grandma Caroline’s bracelet to remember both of them.

Kate is in bed on the phone with her son Austin, telling him about her and Roman’s marriage. Kate wishes they could’ve sent out wedding invitations but they were up against the clock. Kate tells Austin not to come out because there’s nothing he can do without a miracle. Roman then enters and announces they just might have their miracle.

Kristen informs Brady over the phone that she gave the police enough of the serum for the first dose and reminds him that now he must hold up his end of the bargain and break up with Chloe, so that they and Rachel can be a family again. Kristen warns Brady that if even thinks about reneging on their deal, the future treatments depend on her good will and he wouldn’t want the three women’s deaths on his hands.

After Rex injects Marlena with the serum, she asks what happens now. Rex responds that they will monitor her vitals closely and wait for the drug to take effect and then if it does, they will give it to Kate and Kayla. Marlena’s monitors then start beeping and her heart starts racing. Rex encourages her to breathe while Marlena complains that she can’t and John tries to keep her calm.

Stephanie tells Kayla that she can’t take her bracelet but Kayla insists that she wants her to. Stephanie says she’s giving it back to her as soon as she gets better, so Steve then puts the bracelet on Stephanie. Tripp returns and announces that the lab analyzed the drug and it had traces similar to the orchid so they are testing it on Marlena as they speak to make sure it doesn’t have any adverse side effects. Steve tells Kayla that she will be cured. Stephanie worries that she needs it now. Tripp assures that as soon as they confirm it works and is safe, Kayla and Kate are next.

Brady tells Kristen that they are getting ahead of themselves and should make sure the first dose works before talking about the second and third. Kristen tells him that he should have a more hopeful attitude since Marlena could use the positive vibes. Brady says goodbye and tells Kristen not to call back as he hangs up. Chloe comes over and questions what that was all about.

John continues to encourage Marlena as she struggles but eventually she is able to breathe again and her monitors return to normal. Rex asks how she feels. Marlena responds that she feels better. Rex notes that her blood pressure is going back to normal and her vitals are rebounding. John asks what he’s saying. Marlena exclaims that she can feel that it’s working.

Brady claims to Chloe that it was Paul on the phone, asking questions about Marlena’s treatment and it frustrated him as he doesn’t know what to tell him and doesn’t have any answers. Chloe notes that he sounded pretty mad and asks if he’s sure that’s all it was. Rex then comes out from Marlena’s room so Brady asks how she is. Rex tells them that he wants to run more labs to make sure there’s no adverse effects but he’s cautiously optimistic that they have the antidote and it will also work on Kayla and Kate. Brady calls it great news. Brady says he will let Eric and Belle know as Rex then heads to the lab. Chloe hugs Brady and calls this the best news, adding that Brady must be so relieved. Brady confirms that he is. Chloe questions if he’s sure he’s okay. Brady says he’s just so thankful that she was there for him and his family and he’s really lucky to have her. Brady kisses Chloe as Kristen appears and watches from the corner. Brady tells Chloe that he really loves her. Chloe says she loves him too. Brady then says he’ll be back and walks away. Kristen then approaches Chloe.

Marlena tells John that she’s not out of the woods yet but feels like she can see the sunlight through the trees. John sees the hope in her eyes. Marlena jokes that he’ll have to put up with her for awhile. John kisses her and says he loves her.

Kate tells Roman that she doesn’t want to sound ungrateful but questions who decided Marlena would get the first dose. Roman explains that Marlena volunteered and she got sickest the fastest so she had the least time left. Kate tells Roman that he should go see Marlena and Kayla at the hospital. Roman responds that he will as soon as his replacement gets there which she questions. Roman explains that he didn’t want her to be alone, so he called someone to be with her while he’s gone. Chad then arrives and jokes about not being invited to the wedding.

Steve encourages Kayla to hang in just a little bit longer. Tripp notes that Rex is doing bloodwork on Marlena. Kayla then loses consciousness, causing the family to worry. Tripp checks on her and she regains consciousness. Steve and Stephanie encourage Kayla while Joey asks Tripp what’s going on. Tripp responds that this is the normal course of the illness and they were hoping not to get to this stage. Roman enters the room and announces that he just heard from Rex that Marlena is on the road to recovery. Roman then asks how Kayla is doing. Steve responds that they are running out of time and declares she needs the drug now.

Kate tells Chad that they would’ve loved to have him at the wedding but it was last minute. Chad tells her that he’s happy for her and he’s sorry he didn’t come sooner. Kate is sorry she wasn’t there for him with Abigail and Clyde. Kate says she knew when they released Clyde that he would never change. Chad tells her that there’s no way anyone could’ve known and all because he was afraid of it coming out that he had a bullet put in EJ. Chad calls it unfair that Dr. Rolf could bring back EJ but there’s nothing he could do for Abigail.

Chloe questions what Kristen is doing at the hospital. Kristen claims she came to see Marlena since she is her daughter’s step-grandmother. Kristen asks how she’s doing. Chloe mentions the treatment but notes that Kristen was furious with Marlena, so she’s pretty sure she doesn’t give a damn. Chloe then asks what Kristen is really doing here. Kristen admits she does have an ulterior motive.

Joey brings Rex in to Kayla’s hospital room and says she needs the drug. Steve pleads with Rex to give it to her now and says he doesn’t care about the tests. Rex agrees to do so and asks them to make space. Roman asks how long it will take to work. Rex responds that Marlena’s were almost immediate. Steve asks if Kayla can hear him. Rex injects the serum but Kayla calls out to her mom as she then flatlines. Rex and Tripp begin trying to revive her. Tripp asks for everyone to leave the room. Roman agrees but Steve refuses to leave Kayla. They are able to bring back Kayla’s pulse and her heart rate stabilizes. Kayla wakes up as Steve encourages that she got the serum and is going to get better. Stephanie questions why her heart stopped beating. Roman asks if the serum caused it. Tripp says there’s no way to know for sure. Roman then turns to Rex and asks if it’s safe to give Kate.

Kate comments to Chad that she can’t believe she ever thought Clyde was a decent man. Chad says she’s done well for herself this time. Kate agrees and calls Roman the most loyal and caring man she’s ever known. Kate says she has to stay positive and declares that she beat cancer so if she gets the serum, she will beat this as well. Chad agrees and calls her a certified badass.

Chloe mocks Kristen having an ulterior motive. Kristen responds that she’s here for Rachel. Kristen argues that Chloe’s made it her mission to come between her and her daughter. Chloe denies that and says she’s just trying to do what’s best for Brady and Rachel. Kristen accuses Chloe of trying to erase her from their lives. Chloe reminds Kristen that she already offered to end her relationship with Brady but he refused. Kristen suggests instead of offering, she could just do it herself and that would be less humiliating. Brady then comes back and questions what Kristen is doing here.

Marlena asks John if he has an update on Kate and Kayla. John responds that he’s still waiting. Marlena thinks they should’ve heard something by now. John says the serum worked for her so he’s sure it worked for them too. Marlena questions if he’s keeping something from her. John says no and he just wants her to focus on her own recovery while he’s sure they will have good news on them soon enough.

Steve tells Kayla to rest as much as she needs to and he’ll be right there when she wakes up. Stephanie says they all will be. Joey encourages Kayla to get better soon. Roman points out that they almost lost Kayla and that Marlena’s heart raced, so he questions how they know if the serum is safe to give Kate. Rex says it’s risk assessment. Rex and Tripp note that it’s possible it made her worse but also that it could’ve been the illness. Kayla wakes back up and asks why Roman is here instead of with Kate. Kayla knows Roman blames himself for Orpheus hurting them but says it’s not his fault. Roman just wants them to be okay. Tripp asks how Kayla is feeling. Kayla responds that she’s better, like maybe she won’t be going anywhere anytime soon. Roman then nods to Rex, so Rex announces he’s going to give the serum to Kate and exits.

Kate tells Chad that she saw the press release about his new job in PR, working for Stephanie. Chad confirms that he just started and he’s enjoying the work. Chad notes that professionally it’s fine but personally, he may have crossed a line. Chad calls it not important and says they don’t need to talk about it right now but Kate insists and wants to hear all about it. Kate calls it a distraction for her so Chad gives in. Chad tells Kate that he and Stephanie had too much to drink the other night and she was upset about Kayla while they were both in an emotional place. Chad says in the end, nothing happened. Chad notes that he likes Stephanie but he just realized that he’s not ready to be with someone else because Abigail is still with him and he can’t let her go.

Brady tells Kristen that if Rachel is upset, she should’ve called him and he could go pick her up now. Kristen says that would just make things worse and asks when he will admit this is an untenable situation. Brady responds that he can fix it. Kristen asks how since Rachel cannot stand Chloe or that Chloe is with her father so every day they are together, she’s pulling further away. Brady insists that he would never do anything to hurt Rachel. Kristen argues that being in this relationship is hurting her and asks how Brady can be so selfish. Kristen declares that they know what to do to fix this, so she’s going to leave them alone to chat. Kristen asks Brady to give Marlena her best and remarks that she hopes she has a full and lasting recovery. Kristen then walks away. Chloe complains that Kristen knows exactly how to trigger her. Chloe tells Brady that she’s sorry Rachel is having a tough time. Brady responds that it’s not her fault, it’s Kristen’s, but now he has no choice but to do something about it.

Chad tells Kate that he doesn’t think he’ll ever be ready to let Abigail go. Kate knows he feels that way now and she would never push him to do something he’s not comfortable with. Kate encourages Chad to take it day by day and what feels right to him. Kate tells Chad not to be too hard on himself. Kate then starts to lose consciousness. Chad starts asking her what’s wrong and tries to wake her up. Chad encourages her to stay with him and says he will call Roman. Kate asks him to stay there and sit next to her. Chad tells Kate that he can’t lose her too as he urges her to stay with him. Roman and Rex arrive. Rex questions what’s going on. Chad says they were talking and she was fine. Rex then quickly injects Kate with the serum.

Stephanie puts Kayla’s bracelet back on her and says that’s where it belongs. Steve jokes about them both being stubborn. Joey points out Steve being the most stubborn in the family. Tripp says he will take the blood samples to the lab but Kayla asks him to wait.

John kisses Marlena until Kristen walks in. Kristen remarks that someone is looking better. John asks what the hell she wants. Kristen responds that she heard the wonderful news of Marlena’s recovery and she had to come by to tell Marlena that she forgives her since she asked her to intervene on her behalf with Rachel’s custody but she refused. Marlena argues that it wasn’t her place. Kristen admits she didn’t take it very well that Marlena would support keeping a mother away from her own child and that the spiteful part of her might have hoped she suffered a little or even died but in those dark moments, she reminded herself that God is all forgiving. Kristen declares that God miraculously intervened to save Marlena, so she believes he will intervene in her situation as well.

Brady asks Chloe what Kristen said to her. Chloe responds that Kristen suggested that she offer to break up with him again or just end it herself and not give him a choice. Brady then sits down with Chloe. Chloe questions what he’s doing. Brady says he was just thinking that she may be right as they can’t go on like this. Brady tells Chloe that if there was any other way to make this work. Brady assures that he loves her but he loves his daughter and she’s miserable. Brady says Chloe keeps reminding him to put his little girl first. Chloe questions if he’s breaking up with her. Brady tells her that he’s sorry.

Rex notes Kate’s pulse is strong and her blood pressure is good. Roman encourages that she’s coming back. Kate confirms she feels better already. Rex notes that she’s experiencing the same as Kayla and Marlena but without the side effects this time. Kate hugs Rex and thanks him for saving her life. Kate hugs Chad and thanks him for coming. Kate then jokingly tells Chad and Rex to get lost because it is her wedding night, so they leave. Kate tells Roman that a couple of hours ago, she thought her wedding night was going to be her funeral night. Kate then tells Roman that he knows this look. Roman asks if she’s sure she’s feeling up to it as they start kissing.

Kayla tells her family that the last time the whole family was together like this was when Steve was kidnapped, brainwashed, and nearly killed while now it took her almost dying for them to all get together again. Kayla has them promise not to wait so long to all be together again. Steve then asks for some time alone with his wife. Joey, Stephanie, and Tripp say goodbye to Kayla and then exit the room. Steve sits with Kayla and says he always appreciates how lucky he is to have her, but asks her to never scare him like that again which she promises to do. Steve declares that from now on, they will both stay healthy and safe and he will tell her every day how much he loves her. Kayla agrees to do the same as they kiss. Kayla calls this the happiest day of her life as they continue kissing.

Joey and Stephanie go to a waiting room at the hospital. Joey jokes that if Kayla gave him Caroline’s bracelet, he would’ve kept it because it would’ve matched his tattoo. Stephanie is surprised and asks what tattoo but Joey says she’ll never see it. Stephanie gets a call from Chad, so Joey exits the room. Chad tells Stephanie that he heard about her mom and he’s happy for her family. Stephanie thanks him and asks how Kate is. Chad confirms she’s better and thanks her. Chad offers to handle things at the office if Stephanie wants to take the day to spend with her family. Stephanie assures that she’ll be there in the morning, bright and early, so she will see him then as they hang up.

John tells Kristen to stop talking in code and just spit out what she’s trying to say. Kristen believes he understands her and says she will leave them to their PDAs. Kristen says “you’re welcome” and then exits the room. John asks Marlena what the hell that was about. Marlena doesn’t care as she won’t let Kristen affect their happiness. John hopes after all these years of Orpheus coming after them that it’s finally over.

Brady tells Chloe that she has to believe that he never wanted it to come to this. Chloe cries that it’s okay as she’s the one who told him to and decides she should go. Brady tries to stop her but Chloe says to give her love to Marlena and rushes out of the hospital in tears. Kristen comes over and tells Brady that she knew he could do it. Brady responds that she’s not going to get away with this. Kristen says she already has and assures Chloe will be just fine until she finds out that he’s overthrown Chloe for her which will put a stake in her love story.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Still can’t believe we didn’t find anything in that lap, you know? Well, Dr. Rfu used to cover his tracks to making a quick getaway, and he’s an expert that by now. But, uh, thank you. Thanks for trying to help us out. Oh, of course. Man. Look, I’m not giving up. I just hope we find something, anything that will lead to a cure to help Marlena, Aunt Kayla and my mom.

And I think I may have good news. Yeah. What are you doing here? I think you and I need to talk. Hmm. I don’t see why. . Well, I think that everything needs to be out in the open.

You know, this whole uh, situation with you and Brady and me, it can’t keep going on. Oh, I agree. Yeah. This situation is costing me my daughter. Listen, Kristen, I know that you are suffering, but so Brady and Rachel, and for their sakes, I think that you and I need to call truth.

Sammy, Sammy, I have to go. No, it’s not about mamo. Hey, please, just don’t worry. Okay. I’ll call you if there’s anything new. I promise. I love you.

Hi, I, I hope you didn’t hang up on my account. No, it was, uh, Sammy, just calling check in on Mom. I already told her everything I knew, which is, it’s not much. I talked to Chloe Bell, said that Marlene is really struggling now. Yeah, she’s, um, conscious a lot of the time. Oh, I’m so sorry. Thank you. When I hung up with Chloe, I, I just started walking.

I didn’t make a decision and I, I just ended up here

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

Have you heard any news about Kate and Caleb? Um, they’re not doing well either. Oh, that’s awful. How’s your dad holding up? Actually, I just married him and. Oh, about an hour ago what he married Kate. Oh, that, That’s the most lovely and heartbreaking thing I’ve heard in a while. That’s pretty much what it was like to be part of Lovely and heartbreaking.

Yeah. What did they come up with? The idea together? No. Debt surprised you with three and apparently he had to talk her saying yes. That would be case even now, now. Well, Rick and I, we walked in on that surprise and Rick’s became the witness. I performed the wedding, obviously, and um, and Kate, they just looked so happy.

Oh, grabbing happiness during all this misery. That’s beautiful. It is. You know, Roman and Kate have been through their ups and downs, been with other people. I, it’s, it’s like they’re each other’s destiny. Some couples are just like that.

Hmm. A truce and then, Shopping, lunches, spa days. No, but we can’t act like civilized adults. That’s better for Rachel, don’t you think? Oh, wow. Rachel is not gonna get over this. You know, She knows you’re the one who, whom made it so that she can’t see me. You know, she was over the moon when I called her and told her I got a party, and Brady and I, we were getting along.

We were parenting together, and you. You ruined everything. Hmm. Well, I’m, I’m sorry that you feel that way. You know, I came here to appeal to you as one mom to another. Listen, I know that you love Rachel and I was just hoping for her sake that you would work with us Oh. And work with you. How? Well, if you let Rachel know that it’s important that the three of us get along.

I could convince Brady to let the judge know that you should have some visitation rights with Rachel. That’s what’s best for her, the three of us working together on her before. Okay, Don’t do dare Tell me what is best for my daughter. What is best for me and Rachel is that you are out of our lives for good and you would do anything to make that happen, right?

I know that you’re the one that sneaked that note into Rachel’s lunch. Just what? Oh, come on. Like you don’t know the note saying that I’m the reason her family fell apart. What kind of a mother does that to her own child? Bad. Call down. Gimme bottle. Got a note this morning. Just like the police did and my note was delivered with that damn orchid.

Write there just like this was delivered to the police in my note, said the doc was gonna wid and die just like that damn orchid there. And my note was written by or is all he wants me to do is give this to Doc so he can kill her more quickly. Dad, the police got. Yeah. Uh, the note said that what was in the vial is the same serum that was extracted from the same orchid 25 years ago that was used on Roman Brady, and it, it said that it would save Marlena’s life, Kates and Kayla Johnson.

Okay. I know the only reason he said that is because he wants us to use it on him. It’s poison. Don’t think it, I, I don’t think it is. I think this is exactly what we have been praying. Why the hell would you say a thing like that? Dr. Wolf is the one who brewed up that orchestra for Roman back in the day, right?

Yeah. 25 years ago, Kristin. But due to climate change, the orchid is now extinct. Your P Dr. Roth claimed that the drug could not be duplicated as a result. Right? And we all know how honest Dr. Roth is. His lab was thoroughly searched. There’s nothing. Well, maybe it’s because I, uh, moved the Orkin before anyone showed up.

You moved that you were playing with me. Don’t do that.

You see Wolf, you saved seedlings from the, uh, Orkin that cured Roman, and then he secretly grew a new plant. And just so you know, the serum is being formulated as we speak, and I hear that Marlena and company are all feeding fast. Dad, if there’s a snowballs chance in hell that whatever is in there can work.

Aren’t we obligated to try it? Pat? We don’t have anything else. We’re running out of time here. I, I think your son might be right, Mr. Black. If you lost your wife and this turns out to be the cure and you’d never forgive yourself.

Oh my god, guys are so right. What am I thinking? I can’t get rid of whatever’s in. They don’t have the right to make that choice for doc. I just wish there were some way to make sure that this is what the note says. Its job RA just told me about the VI serum. I’m gonna take that to a lab and have it analyzed.

Well that that’s gonna take time. That I don’t know if we have Doc. All she does is slave Steve said Ka can’t even that. My mom is really weak too, but I just don’t want to inject three women with something that we do not understand. So I’m gonna tell the lab tech to put a fast track on that and I’m gonna wait for it.

Dad, it’s your call.

Go ahead. Right. Is belt still with Marlena? Yeah. And I’m heading back there, but you can come with me. You want to. If it’s alright, I’m gonna, I’m gonna wait for Rex all.

I think I should get back to the hospital. Can I just say something before you go, or rather make a suggestion? Oh, of course. Um, I have to be honest with you, it is killing me to watch you go through this and I know how close you are with Marlena and, and, and she’s been through some really rough times with you.

She’s been there for you. Yeah, she has. Yeah. Especially when I was drinking and, and when you had to leave the priesthood, sir. We found out our baby had time. She was there for you?

She was there for me. No, just let me, let me be there for you.

No, no, no. Not like before. And I married and you’re with Jada and. But we’re still friends, right? Yeah, of course we are. Right? You are always the person that shows up. Everyone else, let me be the person that shows up for you. So when you go to the hospital, let me go with you.

Happy. Great. Really? Nobody knows me like you.

I mean, I mean, I was, honestly, I was dreading, dreading, just dreading going back to the hospital, seeing my mom in that condition, and it’s just,

You were, you just, just appeared, always seemed to show when I you the most.

I ask you a question? Yeah, sure. Do you have any idea who wrote that note that we got? If I reconcile with you, everybody, everybody’s gonna know that you use the orchid to blackmail me into doing it. No. No, they won’t because you’re not gonna say anything about it, you see? No, Because if you do say something, This whole deal is off.

Why would you think I would know who wrote the note? Uh, well, you know all the players involved and you’re very I, that the Syrian be used. Yeah. Well, and look, Marla is like a mother to me. I was very afraid that my dad’s anger about Orpheus would blind him to the fact that this could help her. And Kate and Kayla.

So you don’t, you don’t have any doubts about the serum? No. I got, I got a ton of doubts about it. Yeah. But I mean, this is the only hope that we’ve had. So, um, I have to, uh, I gotta check on the lab and make sure they’re making progress. Excuse me.

I did not write that. Let alone put it in Rachel’s lunchbox. I knew what it said because Rachel called me from a friend’s house and she read it to me. Sure. And I’m sure you told her that every word was true. Well, it is true. Anyone could have written it. Oh God. Anyone who who heard about the judges insane ruling would be horrified to see a mother’s rights get trampled on.

Can you just stop it? You know, you can play victim all you want, but Brady and I both know that you’ve been out to get me since before we even became a couple. I saw you skulking around the courthouse that day, and I knew the fix was in because everything was going my way before that. You got that right?

Mm-hmm. didn’t that judge, she was bending over backwards to give Rachel’s mother the benefit of the doubt and then all of a sudden she turned against me and that was your doing. And no one is gonna gonna me otherwise. You’re damn right. It was my doing. And if I had to do it again, I would do exactly the same thing.

Please tell me you found something at Wall Slab. No. No, I didn’t damn it. But we do have some good news. What, What is it? So dropped off a vial of something at the police station and the note said that the vile contained serum that was made from the same species of orchid that helped Uncle Roman. Oh my God.

It’s wonderful. We’re not get ahead of ourselves here. We don’t know anything for sure yet. Rex fit down to the lab to get analyzed. Okay. Yeah, Sean.

Hey. Sorry. Sorry I haven’t been here. Now it’s because he’s been working around the clock to try to help you. Doc

promised me you’ll take care of be.

Come on down. I’m gonna talk like that cuz no one’s giving up here now. Right? I’m just so weary. I know honey. I know Honey, we just need you to hold on a little bit.

Oh, hey, uh, I, I was just headed home, um, and I ran into Eric. Hm, great. Anyway, I came here because, uh, I was looking for, you have news. Someone dropped off a vial at headquarters anonymously with a note saying that it’s a cure for your mother. It’s hate and Kayla for real. Yeah. Yeah. And uh, Jada took it over to the hospital and Rex is analyzing it as it speaks.

Can’t believe it. I should get over there. Thank you for letting me know. Appreciate. Oh, this is his unbelievable news. Maybe this is the cure that everyone’s hoping for. Yeah, that’d be great. Yeah. And then maybe I can stop finding you in Eric’s arms.

So what did you do to poison the judge’s mind against me? Oh, it wasn’t a case of poisoning her mind. The problem was that her hands were tied to begin with because she couldn’t use any of the crimes you’d been pardoned of as evidence. So I just happened to show her a little tape of you trying to attack me with that letter opener.

You hadn’t been pardon of that and she saw what you’re capable of. Mm. And Brady thinks you’re such a saint. Huh? . I wonder how he’ll feel when he finds out that, uh, you did this to me. Oh, I, I know how he feels because I told him everything. And you know what? He was thrilled. He loved me for it. You know, I was really stupid of you to come after me like that.

Brady was prepared to share custody for Rachel’s sake. But no, you had to have it all. It wasn’t enough for. You overplayed your hand, honey, and now Brady and your daughter, all to herself, and that is gonna blow up in his face because Rachel hates you for what you did. And she is furious with Brady for being with you, and it won’t be long until she turns against.

And how do you think he’s gonna feel about you then, Chloe?

I mean, so why don’t you just save us a lot of heartache and give a mis freedom? You know, I. I tried that earlier today actually. He wouldn’t hear of it.

I have a feeling he might just change his mind.

Hey, Lab Tech said I could find you here. So we compared what’s in the vial to what my dad got 25 years. and it’s a close match. All right, what are we waiting for? Hey. Just told me if you told me about the VI that was left at the police station and you brought it here, Uh, yeah. Your brother Rex is at the lab right now.

Haven’t analyzed it. Oh my God. Thank you so much for getting here so quickly. Well, I knew what was in that vile. I wasn’t about to stop for lunch. Well, you said you wanted to be hero who solves this? Well, you may be that. Yeah. Well, I don’t care about being a hero anymore. I just, I just want that stuff to work and, um, I don’t know.

I just wanna find out where that tip came from. But as Brady said, Not a priority right now. Well, hey, do you have a few minutes? Sure. I have a big favorite ask for you. Anything? Well, it’s just I don’t wanna leave my mom. All right. My dad has no idea about this, You know, the vial. So if they just had to use it, he may have to get Kay over here pretty quickly.

I’ll leave right now. Listen, and I, And please tell him I’ll call him if I know of anything done. Thank you so much.

What did you say? I think you heard me call. It seems like every time I turn around, you and Eric are holding each other. It’s getting kind of old every time you turn around. Gina and I, we caught you and Eric and a clench last. But we explained that Eric just told me about Marlena, Kate and Kayla were friends.

Okay, honey, I thought you understood that. Okay. Yeah. Like friends in show sympathy to one another or support one another by patting them on the back. Okay? Okay. But Eric just told me Marla and I was dying and you want me to just pat him on the back? I mean, he’s always there for everyone else right now.

He needs someone to help him through this, right? Right. There’s always an explanation, or maybe I should say an excuse. So now I need an excuse to be there for someone I care about. I need a reason to be Compass. For someone who’s suffering. Okay? This isn’t just someone, okay? This is your ex-husband, the person from Rome.

You are divorced and this someone is getting a little tired of seeing you giving him affection. Okay? I’m your husband now. I am your husband, Nicole. You are married to me. Or maybe you have forgotten about that.

Of course I haven’t forgotten that we’re married. Maybe you’ve forgotten that. Getting married was my idea. At home. We were already planning a wedding, one where our friends and our families could join us. You know, for reasons I still don’t understand at this day, you were suddenly in a hurry to get it done.

Well, I, Cause I thought maybe a big wedding would be too much pressure. I was there. You never said anything about pressure. You just, you wanted to get in the car and go to the courthouse and get it over with? No, no. I was thinking about you, Abigail had just been murdered and your knee deep in this investigation and, and I had no idea when you would have time for a wedding.

Okay. Is that what it was or was it because you had just spent the day with Eric? What? Hey, you, you went to Abe in Pauline’s. And, um, that was right after that. You were, you were in such a hurry to get it done. No, I, I saw their wedding and I just realized that I wanted something simpler. . Yeah. We don’t get much simpler than a clerk and a polo shirt.

Yeah.

Well, well, I’m sorry for the lack of. You know, and Eric, you were Aten Paul in his wedding and there was just romance in the air. And

I maybe you thought to yourself, Well, I let Eric go too easily. Like, and um, maybe I made a mistake with you. Fuck.

So you’re trying to convince me that Brady can’t live without you. I’m sorry, Chloe. No sale. I’m just telling you what happened earlier today. Hey, I’m the one who felt really bad about this whole Rachel situation, and I decided to take matters into my own hands. What a surprise. Fred has a lot on his mind right now.

Marlena could die. Rachel’s acting like she hates him, but he still wouldn’t hear us splitting up. You know why? Because he said it would be playing right into your hands and he couldn’t let you win. Let’s stop wasting time. Give me the orchid and I’ll give you what you want.

I love my little girl, but Chad custody isn’t what I. I want you to break it off with Chloe.

No way. No way. Now. Wow. You are wasting time again. You wanna save Marlena’s life yet? Dump Chloe and then he get back together with me.

Well, there could be another reason why Brady said what he did. Maybe he didn’t want you to be the one to end things. Maybe he wanted to do that himself.

Hi everyone. I just told Brady that I had this serum analyzed and the chemical makeup is very close to what cured my dad. I’m. 95% sure that this is the real deal. It’s not a hundred though, right? No. And ordinarily I would hold out for that, but these are not ordinary circumstances. My gut is telling me that I want give this serum to Marlena and Kayla and my mom as soon as possible.

All right, well, I’m, I’m worried about the risk that I’m in doc’s not, you know, her healthy self. What if it turns out that this serum is toxic? There’s only one thing to do. I think we came with the drug and see what.

You are truly diluted. I wouldn’t be surprised if Brady finally realizes that this relationship is too costly. It’s an impossible situation because you make it that way. Oh my God, I, I shouldn’t even have come here. I should have known as a waste of time. You’ll never care about anyone but yourself. And you don’t have a shred of decency.

Actually, I do. I know how serious Marlena’s situation is, So I need to ask you a question. Why are you here? I mean, Marlene’s on her death. And unless there’s a miracle she could die. So don’t you wanna be there for the man you love?

Oh honey, your bad day is just beginning.

Sweet. No one here is asking you to be a Guinea pig. I know that I’m volunteering.

I’m conscious, I’m, My mind is stable. I don’t know how long that’s gonna last. I think we give the medication if it. It improved my situation. Then we gave it to Kate and Kayla. I I think we should do this right away. John,

that’s not my decision.

Please do what Marlena wants.

Okay. Okay, let’s do this. Um, I’m sorry, but I’m gonna have to ask everybody to leave the room. Eric. Yeah. Is this, If this doesn’t go well, I’d like to receive last rights.

Oh, I’ll take care of your mom.

I’d like

absolutely.

You’re the one great love of my life.

So let me get this straight. According to you now, I realize that I even up on Eric too easily. So my reaction was to go to you and say, Let’s get married as fast as we. That doesn’t make any sense. Well, it does to me.

You, uh, you thought you hurried up and married me, that you would stop pining for Eric Pining pin. I love you. I didn’t wanna fall in love with you because you were with a. I tried to stop and I couldn’t. If I was fine for anyone it was you. I’m just saying that. Okay. Please just tell me the truth.

The truth is I don’t regret marry.

You are my husband. And I love you,

so why didn’t you ever come to me? Why? Why didn’t you come to me and ask me how I felt before you hired him?

You could say, Hey, brave. Um, hey, how would you feel if I hired my ex-husband? Would, would that be okay? I mean, I, this is the same guy that used to take photos of me and a bikini, but, um, that bother, that is not fair. You told me yourself. I want, Eric was a photographer and you were the model. That’s when you two fell in love.

It just, just kind of felt to me like you wanted to recreate that situation. He needed a job and I gave him one look, I am his boss, not his model. That is a totally different dynamic. Okay. Is it really all right? Look, you know what? If I did, if I did come. , I’ll 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.

So now you’re gonna tell me who I can and can’t hire. When did you become a caveman? This isn’t a normal hiring situation, Nicole. It’s Eric that we are talking about. Well, oh, you think it’s a good idea for two to be working so closely together so you don’t trust me

in this situation?

He, I don’t wait. No, no, no, no, no. You don’t get to walk away from me. You don’t get to drop this bomb and walk away. We are gonna talk about this.

What is there to say? Ra Rafe.

Better not be playing games with me. Kristen. Hey. Ready? Hi. I wanna see Marla is doing. Yeah, I am. There’s, there’s been a major development, there was a vial of serum that was left at the police station along with a note saying that it, it’s a cure from Marla, Kate, and Kayla. Do you think it’s real? I don’t.

Rex seems to think it’s promis. Marla is willing to take it. I think she’s being given it right now. Oh wow. That’s, that’s scary. But I guess it’s better than nothing. We’ll have to wait to see how she reacts to determine whether it’s real or not. Wow, that’s amazing. Do we know where the serum came from?

Um, it’s, Paul probably wants to know how Marlena is. Okay.

What the hell do you want? Oh, well I was just checking in. Mm. I wanted to let you know that um, the cure I promised you is being delivered to the police station. Rex is giving it to Marleno right now. Oh, well that was speed. Well, she should be feeling better very soon. Hope to God you’re right. And if I am Brady, you’re gonna have to hold up your end under the bargain, and you’re gonna have to get ready to give Chloe the bad news.

Marlena, I just wanna make sure that you still want to receive this. I. Yes, my mind is made up. Okay, here we go.

Update written by Joseph

Rex and Shawn go to the police station as Rex complains about not finding anything in Dr. Rolf’s lab. Shawn thanks him for trying to help. Rex refuses to give up and hopes they find anything that will lead to a cure for Kayla, Marlena, and Kate. Rafe arrives and announces he may have good news.

Chloe shows up at Kristen’s door and says they need to talk. Kristen doesn’t see why. Chloe thinks everything needs to be out in the open. Chloe says the whole situation with them and Brady can’t keep going on. Kristen agrees because this situation has cost her, her daughter. Chloe knows she’s suffering but says so are Brady and Rachel, so for them, she thinks they need to call a truce.

Eric is on the phone with Sami outside the Pub. He tells her not to worry about Marlena as he has to go and promises to call her if there’s anything new. Eric hangs up as Nicole approaches. Nicole mentions talking to Chloe, who said that Belle said Marlena is really struggling. Eric confirms she’s unconscious a lot. Nicole tells Eric that she’s so sorry. Nicole says she just started walking and ended up here. Eric is glad she did as they sit together on the bench. Nicole asks if he’s heard any news about Kate and Kayla. Eric responds that they aren’t doing well either. Nicole asks how Roman is holding up. Eric reveals that he just married Roman and Kate about an hour ago. Nicole calls that the most lovely and heartbreaking thing she’s heard in awhile. Eric says that’s what it was like to be a part of. Eric explains that Roman surprised Kate with a ring and had to convince her to say yes, then he and Rex walked in so Rex became the witness while he performed the wedding. Eric states that Roman and Kate just looked so happy which Nicole calls beautiful. Nicole talks about Roman and Kate being through their ups and downs and with other people, but it’s like they are each others’ destiny.

Kristen questions Chloe wanting to call a truce and mockingly asks if they are going to hang out after. Chloe says they can act like civilized adults and that would be better for Rachel. Kristen assures that Rachel won’t get over this since she knows Chloe is the reason she can’t see her. Kristen talks about when she got the pardon and how she and Brady were getting along as co-parents until Chloe ruined everything. Chloe is sorry that Kristen feels that way. Chloe says she came to appeal to her as one mom to another, so she hoped for Rachel’s sake that Kristen would work for them. Chloe says if Kristen lets Rachel know that it’s important for them all to get along then she could help Brady convince the judge to let Kristen have visitation rights. Chloe declares that the three of them working together is best for Rachel. Kristen cuts her off and warns her not to tell her what’s best for her daughter. Kristen says what would be best for her and Rachel would be for Chloe to be out of their lives for good. Chloe accuses Kristen of putting the note in Rachel’s lunchbox that said Chloe is the reason her family fell apart. Chloe questions what kind of mother does that to her own child.

Brady arrives at the hospital to stop John from smashing the serum vial that Jada just delivered. John explains that he got a note with an orchid just like the police got with the vial and that his note said Marlena was going to wilt and die like the orchid and it was from Orpheus. John worries that Orpheus just wants to get the vial to Marlena to kill her more quickly. Brady stops him and asks about the note that the police got. Jada explains that the note said the vial is with the same serum that saved Roman’s life 25 years ago and it can save Marlena, Kate, and Kayla. John doesn’t believe it is and thinks it’s poison that will kill them. Brady disagrees and thinks it is what they have been praying for. John questions why the hell Brady would say that. Brady thinks back to Kristen agreeing to give the serum. Brady tells John that they don’t have anything else and they are running out of time. Jada thinks he might be right. Jada argues that John would never forgive himself if he lost Marlena and this turns out to be the cure. John decides they are right and asks what he’s thinking. John says he doesn’t have the right to get rid of whatever is in the vial. John wishes there was some way to know what was in it. Shawn and Rex then arrive at the hospital. Rex says that Rafe just told him about the vial of serum so he wants to take it to the lab to have it analyzed. Brady worries that will take time that they might not have. Rex understands but doesn’t want to inject three women with something they don’t know. Rex says he’ll tell the lab to fast track it and he will wait for it. Brady decides it’s John’s call, so John instructs Rex to go ahead. Shawn asks if Belle is still in with Marlena. John confirms that she is and he was just heading back there. John asks if Brady wants to join them but Brady decides to wait for Rex.

Eric tells Nicole that he should get back to the hospital. Nicole stops him and says she has to be honest that it’s killing her to watch him go through this and she knows how close he is with Marlena and she’s been there for him through rough times. Eric agrees, especially when he was drinking, leaving the priesthood, and when he and Sarah found out their baby died. Nicole asks Eric to let her be there for him. Nicole clarifies that she doesn’t mean like before since she’s married and he’s with Jada, but they are still friends. Nicole says that Eric is always the person that shows up for everyone else, so she wants to be the person that’s there for him. Nicole asks Eric to let her go to the hospital with him. Eric agrees that would be great and admits that nobody knows him like her. Eric adds that he was dreading going back to the hospital and seeing his mom in that condition, but then Nicole just appeared as she always seems to show up when he needs her the most. Nicole and Eric then hug as Rafe comes around the corner, shocked to see them again.

Jada asks if Brady has any idea who wrote the note that they got. Brady thinks back to the deal he made with Kristen and how she forbid him to say anything to anyone about it. Brady asks Jada why she would think he would know who wrote the note. Jada points out that he knows everyone involved and he was very insistent that the serum being used. Brady explains that Marlena is like a mother to him, so he was afraid that John’s anger would blind him from the fact that the serum could help Marlena, Kate, and Kayla. Jada questions Brady not having any doubts about the serum. Brady claims he has a ton of doubts but it’s the only hope they’ve had. Brady decides to go check on the lab to make sure they are making progress and hurries off, leaving Jada confused.

Kristen tells Chloe that she did not write the note or put it in Rachel’s lunchbox. Kristen says she knew what it said because Rachel called her and read it to her. Chloe is sure Kristen told her that it’s true. Kristen says it is true so anyone could have written it. Kristen argues that anyone would be horrified to see a mother’s rights get trampled on. Chloe argues that Kristen can play the victim all she wants but they both know that she’s been out to get her since before she and Brady became a couple. Kristen brings up seeing Chloe around the courthouse that day so she knew the fix was in because everything was going her way until that day. Kristen adds that the judge was bending over backwards to give her the benefit of the doubt but then suddenly turned on her. Kristen declares that was Chloe’s doing and nobody will convince her otherwise. Chloe admits that it was her doing and she would do it again.

Shawn and John join Belle in Marlena’s hospital room. Belle asks if Shawn found anything in Dr. Rolf’s lab. Shawn says he didn’t but they do have good news. John informs Belle that someone dropped off a vial at the police station. Shawn adds that the note said it contains the same serum that cured Roman 25 years ago. Belle gets excited, though John warns not to get ahead of themselves as they don’t know anything for sure. Shawn notes that Rex went to the lab to get it analyzed. Marlena wakes up and calls out to Shawn. Shawn apologizes for not being here until now. John points out that Shawn has been working around the clock to try and help her. Marlena thanks him and asks Shawn to promise to take care of Belle. Belle turns away, holding back tears. John tells Marlena not to talk like that because no one is giving up. John encourages Marlena to hold on just a little bit longer.

As Rafe approaches, Nicole tells him that she was headed home and just ran in to Eric. Rafe says he came looking for Eric because he has news. Rafe informs him that someone dropped off a vial with a note saying it’s a cure for Marlena, Kate, and Kayla, so Jada took it the hospital and Rex is analyzing it as they speak. Eric can’t believe it and says he should get over there. Eric thanks Rafe for letting him know and runs off. Nicole says this is great news as maybe this is the cure that everyone has been hoping for. Rafe responds that maybe then he could stop finding her in Eric’s arms.

Kristen questions what Chloe did to poison the judge’s mind against her. Chloe says it wasn’t poisoning her mind, but her hands were tied since she couldn’t use any of Kristen’s previous crimes against her due to the pardon, so she just happened to have the video of Kristen trying to attack her with a letter opener since she hadn’t been pardoned for that and then the judge saw what she’s capable of. Kristen asks how Brady will feel when he finds out that Chloe did this to her. Chloe responds that she told Brady everything and he was thrilled and loved her for it. Chloe calls it really stupid for Kristen to come after her like that since Brady was prepared for shared custody with her but she had to have it all and overplayed her hand. Chloe tells Kristen that now Brady has Rachel all to himself. Kristen declares that will blow up in his face because Rachel hates Chloe for what she did and she’s furious with Brady for being with her so it won’t be long before she hates him and then she asks how Brady will feel about Chloe then. Kristen suggests Chloe save them a lot of heartache and give Brady his freedom. Chloe responds that she tried that earlier today actually, but Brady wouldn’t hear it. Kristen feels Brady might just change his mind.

Brady joins Rex in the waiting room. Rex informs him that they compared the vial to what Roman got 25 years ago and it is a close match. Brady asks what they are waiting for then.

Eric goes to the hospital and tells Jada that he just heard from Rafe about the vial and that she brought it here. Jada confirms that Rex is at the lab now having it analyzed. Eric thanks Jada for getting it there so quickly. Jada just wants it to work and find out where the anonymous tip came from but notes that it’s not a priority. Eric asks if Jada has a few minute since he has a big favor to ask. Jada says anything for him. Eric says he doesn’t want to leave Marlena, but Roman has no idea about the vial, so if they decide to use it, they may have to get Kate here pretty quickly. Jada agrees to leave now. Eric asks her to tell Roman that he will call as soon as he knows anything. Eric hugs Jada and thanks her so much as Jada then exits the hospital.

Nicole questions what Rafe just said. Rafe responds that it seems like every time he turns around, she and Eric are holding each other and it’s getting kind of old. Rafe brings up he and Jada catching them in a clinch last night. Nicole argues that they explained that Eric had just told her about Marlena, Kate, and Kayla. Nicole thought Rafe understood that she and Eric are friends. Rafe argues that friends can show sympathy with a pat on the back. Nicole complains that Eric just told her that Marlena was dying and that Eric is always there for everyone else, so right now he needs someone to help him through this. Rafe complains that there’s always an explanation or an excuse. Nicole questions needing an excuse to be there for someone she cares about or a reason to be compassionate towards someone who is suffering. Rafe argues that it’s not just someone, but her ex-husband. Rafe adds that he’s getting a little tired of seeing her give Eric affection. Rafe reminds Nicole that he is her husband and asks if she’s forgotten about that. Nicole assures that she hasn’t and reminds him that getting married was her idea. Rafe points out that they were already planning a wedding where their friends and family could join them, but for reasons he still doesn’t understand, she was suddenly in a hurry to get it done. Nicole talks about thinking putting it off would be too much pressure. Rafe argues that Nicole never said anything about pressure and she just wanted to get it over with. Nicole says she was thinking about him as he was knee deep in the investigation of Abigail’s murder, so she had no idea when he’d have time for a wedding. Rafe asks if that’s what it was or if it was because she had just spent the day with Eric at Abe and Paulina’s wedding since it was right after that, she was in such a hurry to get it done. Nicole says seeing their wedding made her realize she wanted something simpler which Rafe mocks. Nicole apologizes. Rafe brings up Nicole and Eric being at Abe and Paulina’s wedding with romance in the air. Rafe wonders if Nicole thought she let Eric go too easily and that maybe they made a mistake.

Kristen questions Chloe trying to convince her that Brady can’t live without her. Chloe says she’s just telling her what happened earlier today. Chloe adds that she felt bad about the Rachel situation so she decided to take matters in to her own hands since Brady has a lot on his mind with Marlena possibly dying and Rachel acting like she hates him, but Brady still wouldn’t hear about them breaking up because he said he couldn’t let Kristen win. Kristen thinks back to making the deal with Brad for the serum. Kristen then tells Chloe that maybe Brady just didn’t want her to be the one to end things and maybe he wanted to do it himself.

Rex, Eric, and Brady enter Marlena’s hospital room. Rex announces that the serum’s chemical makeup is very similar to what cured Roman so he’s 95% sure it’s real, so his gut is saying to give them the serum. John continues to worry about what if the serum is toxic. Marlena says to just give her the drug and see what happens.

Chloe calls Kristen truly deluded. Kristen wouldn’t be surprised if Brady finally realizes that their relationship is too costly and an impossible situation. Chloe argues that Kristen makes it that way and says she shouldn’t have even come her. Chloe adds that Kristen doesn’t care about anyone but herself and has no decency. Kristen responds that she knows how serious Marlena’s situation is. Kristen questions why Chloe is here when Marlena is on her deathbed and she could die without a miracle. Kristen asks if Chloe doesn’t want to be there for the man she loves. Chloe then storms out. Kristen laughs, remarking that Chloe’s bad day is just beginning.

John tells Marlena that no one is asking her to be a guinea pig. Marlena responds that she knows and she’s volunteering. Marlena states that she’s conscious and her mind is stable but she doesn’t know how long that will last. Marlena suggests giving her the serum and if it improves her situation, they give it to Kate and Kayla. Marlena thinks they should do this right away. Rex turns to John, who says it’s not his decision. John asks Rex to please do what Marlena wants. Rex apologizes and says he’ll have to ask everyone to leave the room. Marlena stops Eric and says if this doesn’t go well, she’d like to receive last rites. Eric agrees to take care of her. Eric, Brady, Belle, and Shawn then exit while Marlena asks John to stay which Rex allows. John calls Marlena the one great love of his life.

Nicole questions Rafe thinking that she realized she gave up on Eric too easily, so her reaction was to marry Rafe as fast as they can. Nicole argues that it doesn’t make any sense. Rafe says it does to him, because she thought if she hurried up and married him, then she would stop pining for Eric. Nicole insists that she loves Rafe. Nicole says she didn’t want to fall in love with him because he was with Ava, so she tried to stop but she couldn’t. Nicole argues that if she was pining for anyone, it was Rafe. Rafe asks Nicole to just tell him the truth. Nicole responds that the truth is that she does not regret marrying him. Nicole calls him her husband and says she loves him. Rafe questions why she doesn’t ever come to him then or ask how he felt before she hired Eric to see if it would bother him. Nicole calls that unfair. Rafe brings up how Nicole and Eric fell in love when he was a photographer and she was the model. Rafe kind of felt like she wanted to recreate that situation. Nicole argues that Eric needed a job, so she gave him one and she’s his boss, not his model so it’s a totally different dynamic. Rafe questions if it really is. Nicole asks what Rafe would have said if she did come to him about hiring Eric. Rafe responds that he would’ve told her it’s a terrible idea because there’s no way in Hell that he wants Eric working with his wife right as Jada starts to walk up. Jada backs up and hides around the corner as Nicole questions Rafe trying to tell her who she can and can’t hire, asking when he became a caveman. Rafe argues that this isn’t a normal hiring situation, it’s Eric. Rafe questions Nicole thinking it’s a good idea for them to be working so closely together. Nicole asks if he doesn’t trust her then. Rafe admits that in this situation, he doesn’t. Rafe starts to walk away but Nicole argues that he doesn’t get to drop this bomb and walk away. Nicole declares that they are going to talk about this. Rafe questions what there is to say and then walks away. Jada watches on as Nicole calls out to Rafe.

Brady stands in the hospital and says to himself that Kristen better not be playing games with him. Chloe arrives and hugs Brady, saying she came to see how Marlena is doing. Brady tells her that there’s been a major development as a vial of serum was left at the police station with a note, saying it’s a cure for Marlena, Kate, and Kayla. Chloe asks if he thinks it’s real. Brady responds that Rex thinks it’s promising and he thinks Marlena is taking it now. Brady says they will have to wait and see how she reacts to determine if it’s real or not. Chloe asks if they know where the serum came from. Brady then gets a phone call and claims it’s from Paul to check on Marlena. Brady steps away to answer and it’s Kristen. Brady asks what the hell she wants. Kristen says she was just checking in and wanted to let him know that the cure is being delivered to the police station. Brady confirms that Rex is giving it to Marlena right now. Kristen responds that Marlena should be feeling better real soon. Brady hopes she’s right. Kristen reminds Brady that he will have to hold up his end of the bargain and get ready to give Chloe the bad news.

Rex asks Marlena if she’s sure she still wants to receive this injection. Marlena responds that her mind is made up so Rex loads up the needle with the serum.

Update written by Joseph

At the hospital, John slams down the orchid that Orpheus sent in frustration as Stephanie arrives, thinking it’s the Orchid they have been looking for, and asks if John is out of his mind.

Steve sits with Kayla in the hospital and worries about her having a fever. Steve tells her that he’s here and not going anywhere. Tripp and Joey arrive to tell Kayla they are here too. Steve assures them that she’s not contagious. Joey hugs Kayla and tells her that he missed her.

Brady questions if Kristen is trying to say that she can cure Marlena when her doctors can’t. Kristen says she can cure Kayla and Kate too. Brady argues that the only treatment that can cure them is an Orchid that no longer exists. Kristen remarks that maybe the Orchid is closer than anyone knows. Brady asks if she’s trying to tell him that she has it. Kristen asks what if she is.

Stephanie panics over the Orchid, asking how the hell John could do this until John clarifies that it’s not that Orchid and was just one that could be found in any flower shop as it was sent from Orpheus. Stephanie calls Orpheus a son of a bitch for twisting the knife. John says that Orpheus is enjoying this and wrote that Marlena is going to die just like the flower. John is sorry she had to see that while Stephanie apologizes for yelling at him. John assures that he is just as scared as she is. Stephanie worries about what Kayla is going to do. John hugs her as she cries.

Steve tells Tripp and Joey that it’s so good to see them. Kayla asks why they are here and why they didn’t call. Joey says they couldn’t stay in Seattle. Tripp adds that they didn’t want them to try to talk them out of coming. Joey mentions Stephanie being vague. Tripp asks to be told what’s going on. Steve decides it’s time they knew. Kayla reveals that her, Marlena, and Kate have been poisoned. Steve says he’ll explain how it happened later. Tripp asks about an antidote but Kayla says there isn’t one which Steve confirms. Tripp wants to see her lab work and talk to her doctor. Steve praises Dr. Patel’s work. Joey asks if Kayla is in pain. Kayla says no and that she’s just sleepy and weak. Kayla adds that she’s not getting better. Tripp wishes they knew it was this serious. Kayla feels it was better this way as she didn’t want them to know, but she’s very glad they are here. Joey declares that they are not leaving until she gets better and he knows she will.

Brady accuses Kristen of lying. Kristen brings up Dr. Rolf brewing up the Orchid for Roman 25 years ago. Brady brings up that Dr. Rolf said it’s extinct and it can’t be duplicated. Brady adds that the police searched his lab and found nothing. Kristen suggests she moved the Orchid before they showed up. Brady warns her not to play with him. Kristen informs him that Dr. Rolf saved seedlings from the Orchid and secretly grew a new plant. Brady doubts her but asks where the orchid is if she has it.

Eric is at the Brady Pub, finishing a call with Billie as Jada enters. Jada tells Eric that she just got back from searching Dr. Rolf’s lab with Shawn and forensics but they found nothing. Jada says she’s sorry and asks how Marlena is. Eric admits she’s not good. Jada wonders if Dr. Rolf is telling the truth. Eric shouts that he doesn’t care what Dr. Rolf says because Marlena, Kate, and Kayla are running out of time. Jada assures that they are not giving up and that Shawn’s at the lab right now and called Rex to help him. Eric realizes that’s why Rex tore out of Roman and Kate’s wedding. Eric explains to Jada how he and Rex decided to check on Kate, then she and Roman decided to get married. Eric says it was hard to get through but they were so happy to get married. Eric notes that they have quite the history of being on and off, married and divorced, with two kids together. Jada encourages that Eric was able to marry them and they’ll always have that happiness no matter what now.

Kristen tells Brady not to worry as she has the Orchid stashed somewhere safe. Brady says he can see she’s loving this since she couldn’t break up he and Chloe or get custody of Rachel, so this is her new game. Brady doesn’t believe the Orchid exists so Kristen says she’ll prove she’s not bluffing. Kristen then shows her a photo on her phone of herself with the Orchid. Brady refuses to take her word for it. Kristen says it may be the miracle that Marlena needs. Kristen adds that the serum is being formulated as they speak while Marlena, Kayla, and Kate are fading fast. Kristen says she is doing everything in her power to help them while Brady is wasting time that they don’t have. Brady questions what she wants in return for providing the formula.

Joey asks Kayla what they can do or bring her. Kayla says having them here is all she needs. Steve decides to give her time alone with Tripp and Joey while he goes to check on Marlena. Steve notes that he won’t be gone long as he then exits. Joey questions Orpheus doing this to Kayla to get back at Steve. Joey then apologizes if she doesn’t want to talk about it. Kayla says it’s okay and adds that Orpheus also did it to get back at John and Roman. Tripp encourages that Kayla is the strongest woman he knows so if anyone can get through this, it’s her. Tripp talks about all the time he wasted being angry at Kayla and blaming her for what happened to Ava. Kayla says that’s all in the past. Kayla says she’s so proud of the men that they have become. Tripp mentions that he wouldn’t have tried to become a doctor if not for her. Joey says that Kayla and Steve saw him through the toughest time of his life, so he wishes he could do more for her now.

Stephanie tells John that she’s still kicking herself for jumping all over him and Steve for trying to protect her from Orpheus. John admits he was hopeful too that Orpheus had mellowed but Steve knew better. Steve then approaches so Stephanie gets up and hugs him. Stephanie asks how Kayla is. Steve says Joey and Tripp are in with her now. Stephanie is glad they could make it even though Kayla didn’t want them to see her like this. Steve notes that she changed her mind about that. Steve tells John that he just saw Marlena and talked to Belle. John worries that Marlena is getting weaker and weaker. Stephanie feels Tripp and Joey are probably mad at her for trying to keep them from coming so she goes to join them in Kayla’s room. Steve sits with John. John says that Steve was so right about Orpheus. John brings up Steve saying they needed to end Orpheus, but he talked him out of it. John swears that if their girls don’t make it, he will hunt Orpheus down himself and end him.

Kristen asks Brady what makes him think that she wants something which Brady laughs at. Brady guesses that if she gives him the Orchid, she gets shared custody of Rachel. Kristen asks what if that was the deal. Brady doesn’t want Marlena, Kate, and Kayla to die. Kristen remarks that it’s different from what he said in court. Brady tells her to stop wasting time and give him the Orchid, then he will give her what she wants. Kristen responds that she loves her little girl but shared custody isn’t what she wants. Kristen says she wants Brady to break it off with Chloe. Brady says no way in hell. Kristen declares that if Brady wants to save Marlena’s life, he must dump Chloe and get back together with her. Brady tells Kristen that he’ll get back with her when Hell freezes over and calls this insane, saying it won’t work. Brady argues that everyone would know she used the Orchid to blackmail him in to it. Kristen says if he says anything about it, the whole deal is off. Brady argues that nobody in town would believe it. Kristen argues that everyone will see he made the decision that’s best for Rachel and that Rachel hates Chloe which Brady blames Kristen for. Kristen argues that Rachel is miserable without her and says this would be the opportunity for her to grow up with both of her parents. Kristen adds that even Chloe will understand that. Brady calls her a monster. Kristen argues that she’s a mother who loves her child. Kristen states that there is no hope for Brady and Chloe, so he should end it with her now. Kristen remarks that Chloe is used to rejection and can handle it.

Chloe sits in the town square with Nicole, saying it’s taking everything in her to put distance between her and Brady but she knows she has to because Rachel can’t stand the sight of her right now. Nicole asks if Rachel needs to know they are together. Chloe doesn’t want to sneak around or do that to Brady when he’s in enough pain. Chloe complains that she doesn’t know what to do as she doesn’t know how to make this situation any less horrible. Nicole assures that she gets it more than she knows because she’d do anything to be there for Eric right now.

Eric tells Jada more about Roman and Kate’s wedding. Eric says he could see how scared Roman was that he could lose Kate, Kayla, and Marlena. Eric talks about Orpheus’ rage completely being at Roman. Jada mentions reading that in the case file and wishes she could do more to help. Eric encourages that she is helping. Jada talks about going over Dr. Rolf’s lab and wanting to be the hero who found something to give hope to Kayla, Marlena, and Kate. Jada adds that she wanted to be able to come to Eric and tell him that she did it for him.

Stephanie joins Tripp and Joey in Kayla’s hospital room. Stephanie asks if they can go talk out in the hall but they say they just got there so they aren’t leaving her. Stephanie apologizes for making it seem like it wasn’t as bad as it is. Joey questions why she did that while Tripp argues that they could’ve been here all this time. Kayla then informs them that it was her idea to keep them away.

John shows Steve the orchid he smashed on the floor and asks if Steve got one but he didn’t. John informs him that Orpheus sent it to Marlena to screw with their minds. Steve gets furious and declares he’s going to find Orpheus but John reminds him that they can’t leave the hospital with their girls like this. John convince Steve to sit back down. Steve brings up that Orpheus said he wants them to watch them die. John declares that they won’t let that happen. Steve talks about wanting to find a way to save them but this is science. John refuses to give up, so Steve asks what they can do. John tells Steve that they’ve faced impossible odds before and all the times they rescued each other. John admits he’s never felt as helpful as he does right now. Steve says it forces them to think of the possibility of life without their wives. Steve feels like a fool for all the years he spent away from Kayla. John knows what he means. Steve cries that he can’t do it again but they are running out of time and the odds are stacked against them. Steve notes that at least his whole family is together now since nothing makes Kayla happier than that. John declares that they are going to live for today and treasure every second they can. Steve agrees and heads back to Kayla’s room.

Kayla tells Tripp and Joey that she didn’t want them to come as she wanted to be able to call them and tell them that she was better. Joey points out that they aren’t kids. Kayla says Stephanie wanted them there and she was right. Kayla admits she’s so happy they are there. Steve comes back in and says he is too. Kayla points out that the five of them are all together. Joey doesn’t want to see her upset or crying. Kayla wishes she was at home, cooking for them. Steve encourages that she will do that when she gets better. Tripp suggests they have a family dinner right here. Joey agrees and offers to go get food with Tripp.

Nicole tells Chloe that Eric is the one who told her about Marlena, Kate, and Kayla and he was so broken up that she wasn’t even thinking when she hugged him and then Rafe and Jada walked in. Chloe asks how they reacted. Nicole says they were okay once they found out what was going on. Nicole adds that Rafe was great but Jada kind of staked her claim without saying a word that she is Eric’s girlfriend and it is her job to comfort him. Chloe asks if Nicole got that message. Nicole assures that she did. Nicole agrees that she’s married to Rafe and should back off from Eric, so she did. Nicole adds that Marlena is sick and when Eric is hurting, she feels like she wants to be there for him and admits she still feels that old pull.

Jada asks Eric if it sounds bad to want to be the hero during a time like this. Eric assures that he knows she’s not in it for the glory and is trying to help three women who need a miracle. Jada notes that she hasn’t heard from Shawn since leaving the lab so she decides to get back to the police station. Jada tells Eric that she’ll let him know if there’s any new developments. Eric says he’ll be here at the Pub in case Roman needs him. Eric tells Jada that she has been a person he can count on and kisses her as she then exits.

Brady goes over Kristen’s plan to have him break up with Chloe and then she will provide the serum to Marlena, Kate, and Kayla. Kristen reminds him that after breaking up with Chloe, he must reconcile with her and then they become a loving family with Rachel. Kristen adds that Brady can’t turn around and dump her after they are cured because Dr. Rolf said they will need a second dose a few months later and maybe a booster after that, while she is the only one who can see to it that they get it. Kristen declares that they are in it for the long haul. Brady warns her that the serum better work. Kristen points out that it did before but warns Brady not to take too much time thinking about it because the ladies don’t have any time left. Brady says if he walks away, three women die, so he’s in.

Stephanie tells Steve that she’s really glad Tripp and Joey are there since the three of them need each other. Steve talks about how happy Kayla’s been since Stephanie came home. Stephanie wants more time with her. Steve encourages her not to give up hope and says they just have to make every second with her as filled with joy as they can. Joey and Tripp then return with pizza.

Chloe questions Nicole saying she still has a pull towards Eric. Nicole comments on her looking disapproving. Nicole argues that Eric’s mother may be dying, so it makes sense that she wants to be with him. Chloe reminds her that she’s with him all the time since she hired him at Basic Black. Nicole argues that he’s a great photographer and asks Chloe to give her a break. Chloe says she’s only hard on her because she’s her friend, she loves her, and wants her to be happy. Nicole guesses Chloe is telling her not to do anything stupid again. Chloe tells her that she understands. Nicole admits it’s nice to talk about this with someone she trusts and calls Chloe a good friend. Chloe jokes that Nicole has heard enough of her troubles and feels she’s going to need her as they hug. They then walk off together.

Brady tells Kristen that he’s not sure she will hold up her end of the bargain, so he’s not going to say a damn word to Chloe until the first dose is administered and he has proof that it’s working. Kristen agrees but says as soon as they start recovering, he needs to go straight to Chloe to deliver the news. Brady remarks that unlike her, he keeps his promises, so he will break up with Chloe and then he, Kristen, and Rachel will all live as a family under one roof. Brady reminds Kristen that she may have succeeded in using their little girl and three innocent women to get what she wants, but there is no way on earth that she will make him love her. Brady declares that she will be a lot more lonely in a loveless relationship than she was on her own. Kristen says time will tell. Brady asks for details, so Kristen says the serum should be delivered to the hospital soon and it won’t be long before the miracle cure is John’s hands. Brady hates Kristen for doing this. Kristen remarks that there’s a thin line between love and hate. Brady warns her to be careful what she wishes for as he then exits.

Kayla cries that she’s never been happier than this moment and encourages her family to eat the pizza.

Eric leaves the Pub while on the phone with Sami. Eric knows she’s scared and that she wants to be there. Eric understands she needs to be there for Sydney. Eric remarks that in times like this, you got to get the strength from the people you love as he turns around and sees Nicole heading towards the Pub.

Kristen tells herself that she’s not a horrible person and is doing a good thing by saving lives and all sorts of people will be grateful to her. Kristen asks why she should be the one to end up alone. Kristen declares that she will have her family together again and no matter what Brady thinks now, he’ll learn to love her again. Kristen says she can’t just sit back and let Chloe steal everything she loves, so now she’ll be out of the picture for good. Chloe then shows up at Kristen’s door. Kristen laughs and calls it a coincidence as she was just thinking about her..

Jada goes to the hospital and introduces herself to John as she reveals that a vial full of serum from the Orchid was just delivered to the police station. Jada shows John the note that it came with. John reads that it says it can save the lives of Marlena, Kayla, and Kate. John worries that it’s another one of Orpheus’ tricks and goes to smash the vial when Brady arrives to stop him.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Now you got a fever.

You’re here. Of course I’m here. I’m here all along. Sweet. And I’m not going anywhere. We’re here too. Hey, what are you doing? Do we need gowns and a mask? Oh, no. Hold on. Hold on.

It’s not contagious. I mean, for her sake. It.

Are you trying to say that you can cure Marlena when her doctors can’t and Kaylin can’t do? Kristen, I know that you love to play God, but there’s only one treatment that can help these women. That’s an orchid that’s extinct. Mm-hmm. . And if it did exist, my dad and Steven Roman would scour the ends of the earth to find it.

Well, maybe they don’t have to search so far, maybe. The OR is closer than anyone knows. Are you trying to tell me this?

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

It’s crushed. Stephanie. No, no. Stephanie. Stand up. Stand up. How the hell could you do this? What is wrong with you? My mom in for me. No, no, no, no, no. It’s. That orchid, what that is just a run of the mill garden variety orchid. You could find a mini damn flower shop. And yeah, my lady lit up when she saw it and even gave me hope until I read the damn card and it was sent from Orias, son of a bitch.

He’s twisting the knife. He’s twisting the knife. He said that he’s enjoying knowing how helpless we are and the doc is gonna wilt and die just like this damn Orkin. And I just lost it. I’m so sorry that you had to see that Honey, I’m sorry. No, I’m sorry that I yelled at you. No, no, I understand that sweetheart, cuz I’m just as scared as you are.

My poor mom. What is she going do?

So good to see you guys. Why are you here? Like we were gonna stay in Seattle and do nothing. We should have been here way before now. But you didn’t call your dad or me. We didn’t tell you guys we were coming because we were afraid to. You try to talk us out of it. We’ve been texting with Steph and she’s, she’s been saying all this vague stuff that Taylor.

Tell us what’s going on.

It’s time they knew. Knew what?

Oh, Marlena and Kate and I poisoned and oh my God. Poison was what? We don’t know, and I’ll, I’ll explain how it happened. Okay. What about Indo There someone? Is that true? Yeah. Yes. Okay. I wanna see her lab work. I wanna talk to her doctor right now. Okay. Listen, I’ll tell Dr. Patel, I’m sure he’ll be happy to fill you in on everything he knows.

He’s been great. He’s been talking to doctors all over the world. Are you in pain all? No. Just, I’m just so sleepy and I’m so. Weak. I can’t even lift my arms up to hook you. It’s okay. Don’t even try. I can’t.

I’m not getting better. Joey. It. I wish we had known that it was this serious. It’s better this way. I didn’t want you to go. I’m very glad you’re here and we’re not leaving. Not until you get. And you will get better. Okay. I know you will.

You’re lying. Dr. Wolf is the one who brewed up that orchestra for Roman back in the day, right? Yeah. 25 years ago. Kristin. But due to climate change, the orchid is now extinct. Your power, Dr. Roth claimed that the drug could not be duplicated as a result. Right. And we all know how honest Dr. Roth is. His lab was thoroughly searched.

There’s nothing there. Well, maybe it’s because I, uh, moved the orchid before anyone showed up. You moved it. You are plain with me. Don’t do that. Hm. You see Wolf, he saved seedlings from the uh, Orkin that cured Roman, and then he secretly grew a new plant. Okay, let’s say for a second that you’re telling the truth, which I highly doubt you have the orchid.

Where is it?

Yeah, Rex, he’s here. But if you couldn’t call Cassie Austin and posted,

all we need right now is pray. I will. Right. You take care, Billy. Hey. Hey. I just got back from Ralph s. Sean and I are forensics. We went over every inch of that place and there was nothing. Uh, no orchid, no potion, or whatever it is. I’m sorry. How’s your mom? Sh She’s not good. You think Dr. Ralph is telling the truth that you can, I don’t care what that guy has to say.

I don’t believe a word out of his mouth. I’ve got Kate and Kay and my mother who are running that. Yeah, I know know. Um, I just want you to know we’re not giving up Sean’s at the lab right now. He even called your brother Rex to help him, so that’s why it’s out of his mother’s wedding. Kate and your dad got married?

Yeah, right upstairs. Wow, So sweet. It’s so sad. Yeah. Rex and I decided to, you know, we should check on Kate and my dad decided to get married. Once became a witness and I performed the ceremony. It must have been really hard to get through. It was, but there were, you know, so happy to get married. Half like the history, you know, on and off and married, Divorced two kids together.

And right when they find their way back to each other, it’s, listen, at least you were able to marry them, bring them some happiness. They’ll always have that no matter what happens now. Yeah,

don’t worry. I got the orchid stashed someplace safe. You’re just loving this, aren’t you? Can see in your eyes. You couldn’t break Chloe in me up. I couldn’t get custody of Rachel. So this is your new game you’re gonna play. Oh, it’s not a game, it’s a game. Kristin, you’re dangling this cure in front of me and it doesn’t exist.

I’ll prove that I’m not bluffing.

Compare that to the photo of the old organ and you’ll see that is what everyone is looking for so desperately. Yeah. Okay. I’m gonna, I’m just gonna take your word for that. Okay. Yeah. Kind of cavalier about something that may be a miracle Marla needs. And just so you know, the serum is being formulated as we speak, and I hear that Marlena and company para fading fast.

Yeah. How about you’re loving that, aren’t you? Me? No. I am doing everything in my power to help them. You are wasting time that they don’t have. Right? Kristin? Let’s say I give you the benefit of the doubt against my better judgment. I know love a good quid pro quo, so if you provide the formula, What is it you get in return?

What can we do, mom? Anything we can bring you? No dad here. That’s all I need.

I’m gonna give you a little time along with your voice. Okay. I’ll go check on Marla. I won’t be gone long.

So Orpheus did this to you to get back at Dad, but maybe you don’t wanna talk about it. Sorry. No, it’s okay. He also did a prominent. To get even with them.

Listen, your voice, you need to be prepared. Don’t talk like that, mom. Now you are the strongest woman I have ever known. If anyone can get through this, it’s you, God, trying to convince myself that every.

Plane right here. I was just giving myself hell for all the time that I wasted being angry at you. Blaming you for what happened to my mom. You should have been blaming me. Stop. It’s all in the past. I look at you too, and I just, I’ll know how much you’ve all been through and I’m so. I’m proud you’ve become.

I wouldn’t have even tried to become a Doctor Edman for you. You and dad saw me through the toughest time in my life. I just wish there was something more we could do for you. Now,

participate in who you.

I’m still kicking myself for jumping all over you and dad for trying to protect him from Orpheus. What the hell did I think I was? Hey, your old man had orus peg this second. He came back into time me. I was, I was hopeful that maybe he had knowed, but. Steve knew better.

Hey baby. Hey. Got How’s mom? Well, your brothers are in there with her now. They just got here. I’m so glad they could make it. I know mom didn’t want them to see her like this, but wow. She changed her mind about that. Hey, I just, uh, saw Marlena talk to Bell.

She’s just getting a weaker, a weaker partner

trip, and Joey are probably mad at me for trying to keep them from coming. Is that okay if I go see mom too? Yeah, yeah. Sure baby. Go ahead.

You were so right about him. What are you talking about? Wow. When the partner, the pardon. That the Governor Orpheus, he came back to Salem. You called me into the pub and you said, Man, we need to end him, and I chucked you out of it. Come on, John. Don’t do this. No, man. I, I swear to God, if those girls don’t make it, Steve, I’m gonna hunt that best or don’t myself and I’m gonna end him.

What makes you think I want so, Oh, you’ve suddenly become a humanitarian. I don’t think so. Let me take a wild guess. Kristin, you give me the orchid and you get shared custody of Rachel. What if that was the deal? If that was the deal? Then I would say, I don’t want Marlena and Katen Jay to die. Wow. That’s a bit different then.

What? Your son and family court, you said I was the devil and accused me of breaking poor Chloe over the call. Listen, let’s stop wasting time. Give me the orchid and I’ll give you what you want.

I love my little. But Chad custody isn’t what I want. I want you to break it off with Chloe.

No way. No way. Now, . No way. Wow. You are wasting time again. You wanna save Marlena’s life? You dump Chloe it, and then you get back together with me.

I’ll get back with you when Al freezes over. This is insane. It’s not gonna work. Wow. You’re okay with Marlena dying if I reconcile with you. Everybody, everybody’s gonna know that you use the orchid to blackmail me into doing it. No. No, they won’t. Because you’re not gonna say anything about it. You see. No, Because if you do say something, this whole deal is off.

You want me to go to Chloe and tell her I’m I, I don’t know. I just can’t live without Kristen. She’s never gonna go for it. Nobody in this town is gonna go for it. Yes, they will. Yes they will. Because they know what a devoted father you. And they’ll see that your decision was because that you want what’s best for Rachel.

And they also know that Rachel hates Chloe. Yeah, you made sure of that, didn’t you? God, Come on Brady. Rachel is miserable without me. She has been through so much already. Yeah. Because of you. Just think about what you’re giving her. Think about the opportunity to grow up in a home with a mother and father who love her dearly.

Who would put her first, her happiness first ahead of everything. And even Chloe. Even Chloe, who’ll understand that you’re a monster. You know that? Yeah, you’re a monster. I am a mother who loves her child. There is no hope for you and Chloe, so why don’t you do a kind thing and end it with her? Now, Chloe’s a big girl.

She’s used to rejection. She can handle it.

Ugh. It’s taking everything I. to put some distance between Brady and me, but I know that I have to try because Rachel can’t stand aside of me right now. Well, does Rachel need to know that you and Brady are together? I don’t wanna start sneaking around and I, I don’t wanna do that to Brady. He’s in enough pain as it is.

But doesn’t that make you wanna be there for him? Of course. It. Oh, Nicole, I, I just, I don’t know what to do. I don’t know how to make this horrible situation any less horrible. I get it. I do more than, you know, I do anything to be there for Eric right now, Unpronounced the men and wife, and now Kate can barely hold her head up.

I would’ve been bawling like a baby. That was back tears. My dad and Kate, they were all smiles. Listen, I know my dad, you know, come across as tough guy, but I could see how scared he was, you know? And could he lose his wife, but he could lose his little sister and the mother of two of his children? Well, because of one man whose rage is completely directed at my dad.

Yeah. I read in a case report that your dad accidentally shot or he’s. Sweats, what he’s loaded guilt to. I wish there was something more I can do to help. Right now you are helping. You’re a good cop. I mean, I went over Ralph Slab practically with a cotton swab. I was, I was like a crazy woman. I, I wanted to be the hero.

I wanted to say I got something, you know? I wanted to give hope. So those three women, And I wanted to be able to, to come to you and tell you that I did it for you.

Hi. Hey. Hey, Step. Can we go talk out in the hall? No, we just got here. Yeah, I’m not. I’m really sorry that I made it seem like it isn’t as bad as it is. Why’d you do that? Do you think we couldn’t handle it? No, We could have been here all this time. I’m your sister, mom. I woke you. I’m so sorry. No, I’m, It wasn’t Stephanie’s.

I did keep him. It was mine.

You see that looks like an orchid. Did you get one of those? No. Or if you have sent it to Doc, What just screwing with her minds. Just as I smashed it on the floor. Stephanie walked in. I swear she thinks I’ve lost my marbles. Did Marla see that thing? Oh yeah. That’s Whoa, whoa. Hey, where we, Where you going?

You know where I’m going? I’m gonna find that. No, no. Come on. Can’t do that man. Can’t leave the hospital. No. With the girls like this. You know that. Come on. Come on. Sit with me. Just sit with me. Come on, Go on.

He said it. He wants us to watch him die. Oh, we’re not gonna let that happen.

I’ve been racking my brain trying to find a way to save him, but this is science, man. This is beyond me. I hear you buddy. But we’re not giving up, man. We’re not given effort. But what can we do?

We faced some possible odds before Burner Doc kill two. How many times have we rescued each other main.

In all those times, I have never dealt as helpless as I do right now.

Forces you to think of possibility of life without him.

I feel like such a full, all the years I spent away from Kayla.

Yeah, I know what you mean.

I can’t do it again.

You live without her. I can. I know. I know, man. I know.

But we’re run outta time. The odds are stacked against.

At least my old family’s together now. Nothing in the world. Next Cal. Happier than that. Been partner, damn it. We’re gonna live for today. We are just gonna treasure every damn second that we can.

That’s right buddy.

Go. Go man. Go.

I didn’t want you guys to. I wanted to call you and tell you that I was better. We’re not kids, Mom. I remember that Stephanie wanted you here, and she, Right, Like I said, I’m, I’m so happy you’re here. So my.

Look at us, , the five of us together. So don’t cry, mom. I hate seeing you upset. Yeah, it’s okay. I, I shouldn’t be crying. I should just, I should just be at home making a big pot of chili or some sloppy Joe for all you guys. Okay. , you’re gonna do that when you get. What if we had a family dinner right here?

Yeah. Trip. And I could go grab some food. What you say, Mom, please not cafeteria food. Is that in order? Absolutely.

Eric is the one who told me about Marlena, Kate, and Kayla, and he was so broken up. I wasn’t even thinking. I just pulled him in my arms and that’s when Ra and Gina walked in on us. Oh boy. How did they react? Well, they were okay once they found out what was going on with Marla and Rafe was great actually.

Jada kind of staked her claim. I mean, the message was loud and clear without her saying a word. She is Eric’s girlfriends and it is her job to comfort him. Damn. Uh, did you get the message? Yes, I got the message. I’m married to re and I should back off Lyric and I did back. Look, the truth is Marlena is in critical condition, and when Eric is hurting, I just wanna be there for him.

There’s still this old pool that I’ve always felt between us, and I would be lying if I didn’t admit that. I still feel it. Does that sound bad for one, to be the hero during a time like this? Shit, I know you’re not in it for the glory. You’re, you’re trying to help three women who need a miracle. You know, I haven’t heard from Sean since I left the lab.

Nothing, you know, he is pretty wrapped up in this case and sometimes he forgets to keep me in the loop. I should probably head out to the squad room. If there’s any new developments, I’ll be sure to let you know. Okay. Where will you be? Um, here and, you know, in case my dad needs me. Okay. Okay. I’ll, uh, I’ll let you know if I hear anything new.

You’ll be the first. All right. Hey,

you said. You know, you like be a person. I can count on

you have.

Let me get this straight. I break it off with Chloe, and then you provide the serum that is going to cure Marla and the others. Is that right? Mm. You left something out. See, 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 that. And I am the only one that can see to it that they all get it. You and I are in for it. Brady,

that’s serum. Better work. I did before, didn’t it? I wouldn’t take too much time thinking about. Those ladies don’t have any time left. Well, what’s to think about? I walk away and three women die.

I’m in.

I’m really glad Trip. And Joe, you’re here. The three of us need each other. And look on mom’s face when she saw us all together. Yeah, she’s been over the moon since you came back home. All I want is more time with no baby, but I’m not giving up hope and I don’t want you to either. We just have to try to make every second we have with her as full of joy as we can.

All right. We went to Brunos. Got everyone’s favorite smell. Pizza. We got a mushroom pizza here for you. That is if you want smell so good, can I.

So you still have this pole, or Eric? Hm. And you still look so disapproving because mother may be dying. It makes sense for me to wanna be with him. You’re with him all the time. You hired him at Basic Black, remember? Well, because he’s a great photographer. Come on, Chloe. Gimme a break. Listen, if I’m hard on you, it’s because you are my friend and I love you, and I want you to be happy, okay?

You want me to be happy? Is that code for Don’t do anything stupid. Mm. Kind of maybe. Yeah, but I understand. Okay. It’s just nice to talk about this with someone I trust cuz you know, it’s, it’s really hard to be alone up here in my head sometimes. , you really are good friend Chloe. Hm. I’m so are you and Lord knows you’ve heard enough of my troubles.

Yes. . Well, whenever you need me. Whenever. Well, good. Thank you cuz I have a feeling I’m gonna need it.

Okay.

if I give you what you want up front, I’m not so sure that you’re gonna hold up your end of the bargain. So here’s what I want. I’m not gonna say a damn word to Chloe until that first dose is administered and I have proof that it’s working. Okay, fine, fine. But as soon as the ladies start recovery, you need to go straight to Chloe and given the news.

You don’t have to worry about that. Unlike you, I keep my promise. I will break up with Chloe once I know that drug is working and you, me and Rachel will all live under one roof and be a family. But here’s what you need to remember. You may have succeeded in using our little girl and three innocent women to get what you want, but you need to know that there is no way on earth that you are ever gonna make me love you, and you’re gonna find that you’re gonna be a hell of a lot more lone.

And a loveless relationship than you ever were on your own time will tell details. Kristen, I want to know how, I want to know when I want to know where all this is going down. Well, if everything goes according to plan, the serum should be delivered to the hospital very soon. Very soon I want to. What is soon is that today?

Well, it won’t be long until it’s in your father’s hands. That miracle killer.

I hate you for doing this.

In the old adage, a thin line between love and hate. I do. I know that adage, Do you know this one? Be careful what you wish for.

That’s way better than hospital food. Mm-hmm. , I think it’s the best tasting thing I’ve ever tasted in my whole life.

Bit happier.

It, its, its.

Sam, Sammy, I know you’re scared. So am I. Of course. You know you want to be. It’s okay. You, you need to be there for Sidney. That’s what mom would want you to do. Of course. I’ll tell him, Dad, you love him. He already knows that times like this, you gotta get your strength in the people that you love.

I am not a horrible person. I am doing a good. I’m saving lives and all sorts of people. They’re gonna be grateful to me.

Why should I be the one to end up alone?

I’m gonna have my family again, and we are gonna be together no matter what Brady thinks now he’ll learn to love me again.

I just can’t sit back. And that bitch Chloe Lane, steal everything that I love and she’s gonna be out of the picture. That good? Hmm.

Hmm.

Wow. What a coincidence. I was just thinking about you,

Mr. Black. Yeah. I’m Detective Jada Hunter. This was just delivered to the police headquarters. The vows full, the serum from the orchid. It came with this note.

It says it can save my wife’s life. And ca Kayla Johnson to down him. It’s another one of his tricks. Wait, wait. What are talking about? He’s, he’s.

Update written by Joseph

Roman is in his room on the phone with Rex while Kate sleeps in bed behind him. Roman tells Rex that Kate is resting now but asks if there’s anything more he can do for her. Rex is at the hospital and tells Roman that at this point, just let her rest and keep her spirits up. Roman agrees to do his best and thanks him. Rex asks Roman to tell Kate that he will be by soon when she wakes up. Roman then hangs up. Sarah then approaches Rex at the hospital.

John sits with Marlena in the hospital and encourages her to keep fighting, noting that they have been through Hell and back to be together. Belle and Eric join him in the room. Eric asks if there really is no cure other than the orchid. Belle asks what Dr. Rolf said when John and Steve confronted him. John says that Dr. Rolf swore to know nothing about this and insisted he didn’t have the orchid.

Dr. Rolf goes to see Kristen at her apartment. Kristen mockingly asks why he’s so upset. Dr. Rolf says this is serious and reveals that the police showed up with a search warrant and are tearing up his lab as they speak. Kristen remarks that they know what they won’t find as she holds the Orchid with her. Dr. Rolf is glad she is so calm. Kristen asks what he’s so worried that the police will find in his lab and asks if there’s anything illegal laying around. Dr. Rolf says he moved everything out but complains about how disrespectful it is to his work. Kristen talks about taking care of the Orchid and how they know if the flower dies, so does Kayla, Marlena, and Kate.

Kate wakes up and calls out for Roman. Roman brings her water and says that Rex made him promise to keep her hydrated. Kate asks if he’s been at her side the whole time which he confirms. Kate feels very lucky. Roman doesn’t know what he would do if he couldn’t be with her. Kate encourages that he needs to go see Kayla. Roman states that Kayla has Steve and he’s been checking in, so Kate is stuck with him watching after her. Kate asks if they’ve found the Orchid. Roman responds that they are still looking. Kate complains that she’s tired of feeling like this and having to fight to keep her eyes open. Roman encourages her to not give up and stay here with him. Kate asks if he has big plans. Roman responds that he does have to show her something and she won’t want to miss it. Roman then presents Kate with a ring and gets down on his knee to propose to Kate.

Sarah tells Rex that she’s sorry about his mom. They talk about Kate not being in the hospital as she wanted to be in her own bed with Roman around. Rex calls Roman the best treatment she could ask for since there is no medicine or treatment.

Kate praises the ring as Roman tells Kate that she is as beautiful as ever. Kate says she’s done a lot of questionable things in her life but she must have done one thing right. Roman praises her and jokes about needing an answer so he can get off his knees. Kate responds that she’s sorry but she has to say no.

Brady and Chloe lay in bed together as Chloe brings up breaking up. Chloe talks about Kristen trying to drive a wedge between them, causing one between Brady and Rachel. Brady encourages that it will all work out in the end and that Rachel will come around. Brady assures that he is putting Rachel first. Chloe complains that Rachel hates her and that’s not going to change anytime soon, so if Rachel’s happiness is most important to him then she thinks they need to break up. Brady points out that if they break up, it would be giving Kristen exactly what she wants.

Kristen thanks Dr. Rolf for trusting her to care for the Orchid. Dr. Rolf points out she gave him no choice. Kristen points out that if she didn’t take it, it would’ve fallen in to the wrong hands. Dr. Rolf admits that the police would have it and then Rex would use it as the cure for Marlena, Kate, and Kayla. Dr. Rolf then asks if Kristen plans on holding on to the orchid until the three women die.

Belle asks what if the police come up empty handed at Dr. Rolf’s lab. John then gets a text from Shawn, confirming there is no orchid in the lab. Marlena wakes up and says she hopes nobody is giving up on her just yet.

Roman gets up and admits he wasn’t expecting Kate to turn down his proposal. Kate says she’s sorry but to look where they are. Roman jokes that he would’ve preferred to take her to Paris but his hands are tied. Kate tells him that there is no cure and they both know what that means. Kate says she’s been close to death before but not like this. Roman refuses to give up. Kate tells Roman that she loves him for everything he’s done for her but she’s filled with regrets for all the time she wasted making bad choices. Kate talks about all the years that Roman loved her and she was too stupid or proud to admit that she loves him back. Roman says that doesn’t matter anymore since he has her now and has no intention of letting her go. Roman calls every second with her precious and he wants the world to know that she is his wife forever. Roman pleads with Kate to say yes to his proposal so they will be husband and wife in this moment. Kate then accepts his proposal and they kiss.

John assures Marlena that nobody is giving up on her here. Belle says they will fight with her every step of the way. Marlena says she will take all the help. Eric offers to say a prayer which Marlena admits she would like. Eric, Belle, John, and Marlena then all join hands as Eric says a prayer for God to keep her with them longer.

Kristen tells Dr. Rolf that if Kate, Kayla, and Marlena do die, some would say it’s Dr. Rolf’s fault for creating the pathogen. Rolf argues that he had nothing to do with infecting the women and talks about how he began formulating the antidote serum with the orchid just in case. Kristen points out that then he could save the day and prove his innocence. Dr. Rolf says he’s innocent. Kristen says she is too but Dr. Rolf points out that she is keeping the orchid herself instead of saving the women. Kristen calls that not a crime and says she’s come to like having the orchid around. Dr. Rolf argues that if Kristen wanted the women to die, she would have destroyed the orchid instead of leaving it to chance that someone could find it. Dr. Rolf asks Kristen what her real plan is.

Belle tells Marlena to let them know if she needs anything. Marlena asks about Kate and Kayla. Eric says they are hanging in, just like her. Marlena asks about Roman. Eric notes that Roman hasn’t left Kate’s bedside for a second. Marlena tells Eric that he should go too which he questions. Marlena says she loves having him here but she thinks Roman needs him. Eric refuses to go anywhere. Marlena points out that Belle and John are here. Eric still doesn’t want to go but Marlena questions if he’s going to argue with her in this condition. Marlena says to give them her love. Eric then agrees to go check on Roman and Kate but says he’s coming right back. Eric tells Marlena that he loves her. Eric then hugs John and Belle before leaving the room. John then gets a call from Sami and gives the phone to Marlena. Marlena tells her that she’s much better after hearing her voice.

Kristen remarks that maybe it would serve her right if she let Marlena die. Dr. Rolf argues that it’s not her endgame since Marlena is Rachel’s grandmother and their rivalry over John is in the past. Kristen complains that Marlena refused to help her with Brady and Rachel. Dr. Rolf knows Kristen doesn’t take her eyes off the prize and the only prize to her is Brady while she has a rival for Brady’s affections.

Chloe questions Brady being willing to risk his relationship with his daughter so that Kristen can’t win. Brady says it’s more than that as he loves Chloe so much, so he’s not going to let anyone keep them apart. Chloe doesn’t want to be the reason he loses his daughter. Brady assures that he won’t. Chloe worries that Rachel’s anger won’t get better. Brady insists that Rachel will come around and be fine. Chloe asks what if she’s never fine with them being together. Brady says he doesn’t have an answer but he knows that sacrificing their happiness is not it.

Dr. Rolf talks about Kristen having him resurrect Stefan to go after Chloe in hopes he would woo her away from Brady but it didn’t work, so he thinks the Orchid is plan B. Kristen tells him that her motives are none of his business. Kristen tells him to trust her judgment like he would with Stefano. Dr. Rolf doesn’t think Stefano would approve of her putting Marlena at risk to get her husband back. Kristen warns Dr. Rolf to watch his place. Dr. Rolf argues that his place is upholding Stefano’s legacy. Kristen asks why he’s so worried about Marlena and points out that he has a stash of clones ready to go. Dr. Rolf claims to have no idea what she’s talking about. Dr. Rolf asks if this was about Marlena, does that make Kayla and Kate just collateral damage?

Kate thanks Roman for giving her life and love. Roman cannot wait to make her his bride. Roman then gets a call from prison and it’s Lucas. Roman asks if Kate feels up to talking to him. Kate says she has good news to tell him so Roman gives her the phone. Kate then informs Lucas that she’s getting married.

Sarah asks Rex if there’s anything she can do to help. Rex appreciates the offer but says without the Orchid, nothing can be done. Rex tells Sarah that he just wants her to be happy in her life after he messed up with them badly, but he’s grateful for the time they had. Sarah says she is too.

Kate tells Lucas that she’s so proud of him for taking responsibility for everything he did and calls it such a brave thing to do. Kate wishes Lucas peace and happiness. Kate is sure Lucas will be the man and father to his children that she knows he can be. Kate tells him that she loves him so much. Kate assures that she will see him when he gets out as they hang up. Kate tells Roman that she couldn’t tell him the truth because Lucas is suffering enough. Roman bets that Kate will see Lucas when he’s released. Kate says right now, she just wants to enjoy this moment with Roman. Roman wants her to be his wife. Kate doesn’t think they have time to get married but Roman says they can do it right here as all they need is an officiant and a witness. Rex and Eric then arrive. Roman calls it their lucky day as they are just in time for a wedding.

Kristen asks if Dr. Rolf is suddenly developing a conscious. Dr. Rolf calls it self preservation. Kristen responds that if any of them die, it won’t be traced back to Dr. Rolf. Dr. Rolf blames Orpheus for their illness but if they die with the cure in Kristen’s hands, that is on her and her alone.

Marlena tells Sami that she understands that she’s there for her daughter Sydney and she’d be here if she could. Marlena adds that there is something Sami could do that would make her feel a lot better. Marlena says she could talk to her sister as she then hands the phone to Belle. Belle holds back tears and tells her that she and Eric will take care of Marlena for all of them. Belle says she loves her too and hangs up. John asks if that was not what Belle expected. Belle admits that Sami was very kind. John takes it that Eric was right that sometimes there’s no limits to God’s miracles.

Kate puts her makeup on and jokes that maybe now she can look presentable for her wedding. Rex encourages her and says he’s just glad to watch her marry the love of her life. Roman returns with Eric and flowers.

Kristen talks about the Orchid being so delicate and fragile. Dr. Rolf points out that she is holding the last of it’s kind and the last chance for Marlena, Kate, and Kayla to survive.

John tells Marlena that she can stop trying to be strong now as it’s just them and he can see how hard this is for her. Marlena acknowledges that she could never hide anything from him. Marlena admits she feels awful and that everything hurts. John decides he will be strong for both of them now. Sarah then enters with an orchid plant that was delivered for Marlena.

Eric officiates the wedding of Roman and Kate. Roman has flashbacks to his first relationship and wedding with Kate as he smiles and says “I definitely do”. Kate then has flashbacks to their current relationship and says “I do”. Rex then hands over the rings. Eric pronounces Roman and Kate as husband and wife and then they kiss.

John observes the orchid plant that was delivered and finds the note. Marlena questions who sent it. John says it’s nothing. Marlena reminds him that they promised to be honest and asks for the card, so he hands it over. Marlena reads the card saying it’s not the Orchid she’s looking for, but it’s beauty takes her breath away. Marlena reads that it won’t be long before her last breath and the orchid will die with her as the card was from Orpheus.

Brady goes to Kristen’s apartment and questions her wanting to see him. Kristen says they need to talk. Brady brings up the letter that Kristen put in Rachel’s lunchbox, saying that Chloe is the reason she can’t see her. Kristen claims not to know what he’s talking about. Brady declares that he doesn’t have time for games because Marlena is dying. Kristen responds that maybe that doesn’t have to happen which Brady questions. Kristen declares that maybe she can save Marlena, Kayla, and Kate too.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Yeah, well, she’s resting, but uh, her fever’s still pretty high. Is there anything we can do for her that at this point all you can do is just. Make sure she’s comfortable and keep her spirits up. Okay. I’ll do my best. Thanks son. Oh, and then dad, um, when she wakes up, can you just tell her I’ll be by soon?

Okay.

You just keep on.

We have been through hell and back to be together, so I know you’re gonna find a way to whip this.

Listen as there really no hope for a cure other than the orchid. Yeah. What did Ralph say when you and Rex confronted him? Ah, he swears up and die. He knows nothing about the pathogen or because she used to affect your mother or the orchid. He insisted he doesn’t have it.

I thought you so long to answer. I was watering the plant. Why do you look so upset? I am upset. What happened? Ralphie, Igor, bring you the wrong brand again. This is no joke, Kristin. Okay. Okay. What is the Christ case, Phil? After that surprise visit by John Black and my former protege, Rex Brady, a police showed up as a search for it for my.

They search to that they’re tearing it apart as we speak. Well, at least we know what they won’t find in your little shops. Hmm.

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

I’m glad you are so calm about the police raid. What exactly are you worried they’ll find in your lab? Ralph, is there anything less than legal lying around? I managed to move my most sensitive projects to an undisclosed location. Even so watching those Salem PD Creton bulls have a through my lab, so disrespectful to the brilliance.

It is my life’s fur. I feel you. That’s a good thing that we saved this little beauty. Um, you’ll seem to be taking good care of it. Well, of course I am. Both know if this flower die, so does the good doctors. Johnson and Evans,

Roman. I’m right here. Right here. Okay. Drink some water. Our son, the doctor made me promised to keep you hydrated. Ah,

Have you been at my side the whole time? What do you think? I think you’re very lucky. Well, I am lucky to sing it and continues cuz I don’t know. What I do is I couldn’t be here with him. You need to go see your sister. Kayla’s got. And I’ve been checking in as much as I can. All right, so I’m sorry you are stuck with me watching after you handing foot.

Has they found the orchid? They’re still looking.

Roman. I am so tired of feeling like this. I have to fight to keep my eyes open. Katie, don’t you? You got that. You stay here with me. You understand? Why do you have big plans? Yeah. Matter of fact, I do need to show you something and I’m pretty sure you’re not gonna wanna miss it.

Roman

has Elizabeth Roberts, Will you again do me of being my wife.

I’m so sorry about your mom. Thank you. I understand that she’s chosen enough to stay in the hospital. Yes, she um, she wants to be in her own bed. Is your dad with her? And because there’s no cure even a treatment at this point. He’s the best medicine she could ask for.

That is a stunner. Well, you are trying anytime. You’re sweet, but I think we both know that you’re lying because I have to look worse than I feel. Not to me. You don’t. You are as beautiful as a, I’ve done a lot of questionable things in my life, but I must have done one right thing. You did a lot of great things, Kate, and I don’t mean to rush you, but a decade of standing behind that bar downstairs did not help my knees.

Okay. So if I don’t get an answer pretty soon, I’m not sure I’m gonna be able to stand up again. Answer, Yeah. Well, pretty simple. Only two choices. Yes. And the other one I can ask the question again if you.

I’m sorry, I have to say no.

Um, I’m sorry. I don’t get the joke. It’s. No joke. You want to, you, do you wanna break up after what just happened here just now? What? What are you talking about? I don’t, I don’t want to break up then. What? What are you, what are you saying? Well, Kristen’s trying to put a wedge between us. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

We’ve already established that. There’s no way in hell she can do that. Yeah. Not on our own, but she succeeded coming between you and your daughter. Everything’s gonna work out okay. A racial will come. I believe that, but in the meantime, you have to prioritize, Rachel. You have to put her first. I am, I’m, I’m totally putting Rachel first, but she hates me and that’s not gonna change any time soon.

And if her happiness is what’s most important to you, and I think that, that we need to break up. And Chloe, do you understand if we do that then you are, you were just giving Kristen exactly what she.

You know, I am growing a real affinity for this little plant. Thank you for trusting me to care for it, as if you gave me a choice. Well, I wasn’t gonna let it fall into the wrong hands, which it would. I’ll admit, if you hadn’t taken it from my lab, it would be in police custody right now, and Rex Brady would be using it to synthesize a cure for Malaina, Kayla and Kate.

Is that your way of saying thank you? That’s my way of asking the question. Are you planning on miss holding it until those three women die?

So if the police come up empty handed after searching Ralph’s lap, then

John, what is it? Its Shawn.

No work in the lab.

I hope nobody’s giving up on me just yet.

Well, uh, , Okay. I wasn’t expecting that. I’m sorry, Roman, but look where we are. Well look, I would prefer taking you to Paris for the proposal, but you know, my hands were kind of tight. That’s not what I mean. And you know it, And what is it? There’s no cure. And we both know what that means. And I’ve been close.

I’ve been close to death before, but not like this. I am not giving up.

I love you honey. I love you for that. And I love you for this proposal and I love you for the rain and I love you for everything that you do for me and everything you, and everything you are, and I’m just full of, um, filled with regrets, reject. For what? For all the time I wasted making bad choices all those years that you loved me and I was either too stupid or or too proud to admit that I loved you back.

Okay, Katie, that doesn’t matter anymore. I’ve got you now and I have no intention of letting you go every moment, every second with you. Was fresh. And every one of those seconds, I want you in the world to know that you’re the only one for me, that you’re my wife, My forever. Forever, Yes. Forever and always.

So please, please, Katie, please say yes and we will be husband and wife in this moment. Come when.

Yes. Yes, Robin. Yes.

No, no, no, no. Pretty lady. Nobody’s coming up on anybody here. No, nevermind. No. We’re gonna fight this with you every step of the way. I’ll take, I can get, Speaking of which, would it be okay if we. Set a prayer for healing and strength together. I like that

we together and humbly ask you to heal her body the same way you healed her spirit. We understand that you want her by her side in heaven right now. This strong, warm, loving, and brilliant woman needs to be right here in our our world with our family. She’s bit longer. I’ll show you. Amen for that.

Amen. You know, if Kayla and Marlena and Kate do die, some would say it was your fault. My fault. Yeah. You’re the one who created a pathogen, did you not? I had nothing to do with infecting those women. They, No, no, no, no. That was Orpheus doing. But he did steal it from your lab. And once I realized it, I grew that tiny orchid, nurtured it from a seedling, and began formulating the ode.

Just in case. Just in case the authorities traced it back to you. Right. The pathogen and then you could save the day and prove your innocence. I am innocent. Well, what a coincidence. So am I. Except that you are keeping the orca to yourself instead of saving those women. Is that a crime? Like I said, I’m becoming attached to it.

It adds a little, um, Touch of trauma into. Drap surroundings. I know you, Kristen, if you were going to let those women die, you would’ve destroyed that bit orchid by now. Instead, you alleviate the chance that someone might discover it or take it from you. So if this isn’t about spite or revenge, but it’s your real plan.

Do you want some water or some ice chips? No. Well, thank you. Note right now. Will you let us know if you need anything? We’re all here for you,

Kayla. They’re, they’re hanging in just like you and your dad. Dad hasn’t left Kate’s bedside for one second. Yeah. Yeah, honey, you should, um, you should go to it. Are you trying to get rid of me, mom? No, I love him. I love having you here, but I think Roman needs you. Well, I’m not going anywhere.

Bella is here and John. Rather be traveled by elephants of the side. She knows me pretty well now. I’m not going anywhere either. Are you good to argue with me when I’m in this condition? That’s pretty low, mom. I know. Give them both by,

okay. I’m gonna go check on Dad and Kate, but I’m coming in right back.

That’s, I love you. I love you.

Samantha. Hey, kid. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Hold on a second.

Hi, sweetie.

I’m, I’m much better now that I’ve heard your voice. Maybe it would serve Marlena, right? If I just let her die. Letting Marlena expire is not your end game. How do you know that? Starters, she’s your daughter’s grandmother. And your rivalry over John Black is a singer. As a past, you might almost say that you are friends.

Okay. Yet I went to her had in hand and I asked her to help me convince Brady that I should be able to see my daughter and she refused to help. Interesting that you mentioned that. Why? Because if there’s one thing I know about you, Kristen, is that you don’t take your eye off surprise. And the only prize that matters to you is John’s son, and you do have arrival for Brady’s affections.

So you’re willing to risk your relationship with your daughter so that Kristen can’t win. Stop. You know? It’s more than that. I love you so much. I’m not gonna let Kristen or anyone else keep us apart, or by the way, I know you love me too. Of course I do. I love you and I don’t wanna be the reason that you lose your daughter, baby.

I am not gonna lose my daughter, but she’s so angry at you. What if that doesn’t get any better and it just gets worse? Eh? It will get better. She will come around. Rachel will be fine. What if she’ll never be happy with us being together? So, I, I don’t have an answer to, to getting Rachel. To be better about us as a couple, but I know this, I know that sacrificing my happiness and, and pretending that I don’t love you, that Amen.

You had me condition your resurrected brother Stephan, to pursue Chloe Lane in the hopes that he would woo her away from Brady Black, but it didn’t work. , so I suspect withholding the orchid is plan B. Hmm. Uhuh, my motives are not your concern. Did you question my father like this? When you assigned a task, your father and I had spirited debates, but in the end I always trusted his judgment.

And trust mine. I am certain Stephan would not approve of putting his beloved Marlena at risk so that you can have your husband back. Careful. Doctor, you’re forgetting your place. My place is to protect your father’s legacy. Hmm. Why are you so focused on Marlena and her condition? Like I said, you have a stash of clones.

That Ready? Hm. Again, I have no idea to what you are referring. Sure. . What the sake of argument? Let’s say this is about Mela. What about those other two women are Kayla Johnson and Kate Roberts? Just collateral damage.

Thank you for giving me life and love. Even now, I cannot wait to make you my bride.

Uh, yeah. Um, yeah, I’ll accept the call. Uh, It’s Lucas from Statesville. Do you feel up to talking to him? Uh, yeah. Yes, I have good news to tell him,

Hey, baby, guess what? Your mom’s getting married. Right?

Is there anything that I can do to help if, if the lab needs an extra hand? No, I, I, I appreciate the offer, but without that or, Nothing could be done. I’m so sorry. Thanks, Sarah. I, I hope you know that. I just want you to be happy. Have a good life. I messed up with us badly, but, um, I’m grateful. I’m grateful for the time that we had.

Yeah, me too.

I know, I know Lucas, I wish you could be here too. Look, there’s something I wanna tell you. I am so proud of you. Well, for taking responsibility for everything that you did. So just that that was such a brave thing to do.

Well, I am wishing you peace, darling, and I’m wishing you happiness and I’m. I’m sure you’re going to be the man and the father to your children that I, that I know that you can be. I love you so much.

No, of course, of course. I’m going to see you when you get out. That’s right. I love you. Bye.

Well, I couldn’t tell him the truth. He’s suffering enough. Okay. I am betting big time that you will be around to see him, speak with him and hug him when he’s released.

Well, right now I just wanna enjoy this moment being your fiance. I don’t what. I don’t want you to be my fiance. I don’t want you to be my wife. I love that idea, but I don’t think we have time to get married. Of course we do. We can do it right here. All we need an fish on and someone to witness it.

And this must be our lucky day. You two guys are just in time for a wedding,

my dear Doctor, don’t tell me that you’re suddenly developing a con. Call it self-preservation. Well, if any or all of them do die, it won’t be traced back to you. No. Should it Obvious Bears four responsibility for an illness, but if they die, we secure literally right in your hands. That’s our you, Kristin, and you alone.

See, I may, of course, I understand

it’s important that you’d be there for that situation with Sydney.

No, darling, I, I know you’d be here if you could.

In fact, there is. There is something you could do that. Make me feel a lot better.

You could talk to your sister.

Okay.

Hey, Sammy.

Yeah. Yeah, I will. Eric and I are gonna take care of mom for all of us.

I love you too.

You expected Sammy was, uh, very kind. So Eric was right. Sometimes there’s more limits. God’s miracles.

Thank you for bringing me my makeup back. Maybe now I can at least look presentable for my wedding. Oh, come on. You look beautiful. Mom, as always, I’m just happy to be here to watch you marry the love of your life.

You brought me flowers. Yeah. They were growing outside. Right under your window. You told me the other day that, uh, you wanted to pick them, so I did it for you there. Be beautiful. Well, no bride of mine is gonna get married without a proper bouquet. Oh.

I adore wild flowers. So do I. So delicate, so fragile. No wonder it doesn’t exist in the world any longer. As far as we know, the holdings are last of its kind and visit. It’s the last chance for Elena Evans and the others to survive

going to be strong. Kids are gone. It’s just me and you and I. I can see how hard this is. Few sweet.

I never could hide anything from, you could, I would never hide.

The truth is that I,

Do you Roman, Augusta, Brady? Take this woman to be your lovely weed wife.

I don’t want anything to do with you. And as far as this attraction crap goes, believe me, it’s not mutual at all. You’re out for me right now, Kate. Oh god. Oh God. It’s so ridiculous. That is so asinine. I feel nothing but contempt for you not buying it really. It to.

I definitely do.

Do you, Catherine Elizabeth Roberts, do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband?

So what do you

I am tempted. I really am, but the now love is so risky. Even when he was a great guy like you, I don’t wanna risk that

Days of Our Lives Update

Days of Our Lives logo

Update written by Joseph

Chanel goes to see Paulina in her office and questions what’s wrong as she looks really serious. Paulina suggests she sit down.

Alex goes to see Stephanie at her home and calls her the biggest hypocrite he’s ever met because he has to follow all the rules while she can do whatever the hell she wants. Stephanie questions what he’s talking about. Alex argues that she said she would only continue working at Titan if he stopped asking her out, so he’s been trying to keep it professional and business. Chad questions him showing up at her house with wild accusations not crossing any lines. Alex then asks if Stephanie sleeping with the new guy she just hired is not a violation of her rules or if she just makes an exception for Chad DiMera.

Johnny goes to leave the DiMera Mansion right as Wendy Shin arrives and says she’s looking for Stefan DiMera as she walks in.

At the DiMera Office, Gabi tells Stefan to look in to her eyes and questions where all of his love for her has gone. Stefan then has a flashback to admitting his feelings for Gabi. EJ asks Stefan what’s wrong.

Johnny tells Wendy that he didn’t invite her in but she says it’s too late. Johnny asks who the hell she is and what she wants. Wendy repeats that she needs to see Stefan but Johnny tells her that he’s not home. Wendy asks if he knows where she can find him. Johnny threatens to call security unless she tells him who the hell she is. Wendy then introduces herself and asks who the hell he is.

Stefan responds that what’s wrong is Gabi stole his job and he wants it back. Li argues that even if the shareholders vote their way, Stefan’s insane if he thinks EJ is going to let him run the company. Stefan tells him that he and EJ are going to run it together as co-CEOs. EJ notes that didn’t work out for he and Chad but he knows Chad will be overjoyed that they are back in charge at DiMera. Stefan says his first order will be to clean up and take out the trash. Li warns that this is a mistake while EJ declares that all traitors must go. Li tells Gabi not to worry and he will do everything in his power to help her. EJ points out that Li can’t help her because they will be getting rid of him too.

Stephanie questions how Alex came to the conclusion that she and Chad are sleeping together. Alex responds that he’s not an idiot and reveals that he saw them last night at Julie’s Place with a bottle of champagne. Alex complains about Stephanie lecturing him all this time about sexual harassment in the workplace. Alex tells Stephanie to just be honest because it’s clear what happened between her and her new employee last night and now here they are on the morning after. Chad jokes that he thought he said he wasn’t an idiot.

Chanel sits down and asks Paulina why she is here. Paulina responds that it’s about her campaign. Chanel says they can’t make more cookies but Paulina says it’s not about that. Paulina then reveals the file folder to her.

Li argues that his father is chairman of the board so they can’t oust him. EJ responds that he can and says he’ll be back shortly with Stefan’s voting proxy. EJ suggests they contact the shareholders to let them know they will be calling a meeting even though they already know the outcome. EJ laughs and then exits. Stefan advises Gabi to take anything she needs from the desk. Gabi argues that she knows it’s still there. Stefan can’t wait until she’s gone so he doesn’t have to listen to this anymore. Stefan then orders Gabi to clean out her desk. Li tells her not to do anything and declares that he’s going to find EJ and put a stop to this. Stefan warns that there’s nothing he can do to stop it. Li says they will see about that and goes after EJ.

Wendy informs Johnny that Li Shin is her older brother. Johnny remembers hearing that she kicked ass at the DiMera Gala in Hong Kong and calls it impressive. Johnny asks what she needs to see Stefan about. Wendy says that’s none of his business. Johnny introduces himself. Wendy asks if he knows when Stefan will be home. Johnny says he just left so it will probably be awhile. Wendy responds that she doesn’t have time to stick around but she’ll be back as she then exits the mansion.

Alex questions what Chad is laughing at. Stephanie states that Alex obviously knows she hired Chad and she’s been using her home as an office. Chad explains that with Kayla in the hospital and Steve staying with her, Stephanie has been here at home, working. Alex remarks that except when she’s out getting wasted with Chad. Stephanie informs Alex that Chad went home last night and came back this morning, pointing out that they are wearing different clothes than they were at Julie’s Place. Chad informs Alex that they didn’t sleep together. Stephanie suggests Alex go now because they have a lot of work to do. Chad adds that Stephanie is not a hypocrite but Alex has been a complete jackass.

Chanel is shocked by the folder and questions where it came from. Paulina responds that a sleazy lawyer Sloan Peterson brought it to her last night on behalf of a mystery client. Chanel questions Paulina being blackmailed and asks how they even know about this. Paulina doesn’t know as it happened so long ago that she was sure it would never come out. Chanel cries that it’s all her fault and that Paulina’s campaign could be ruined because of some stupid mistake she made in college. Paulina tells her to forget the campaign as that’s the last thing on her mind right now and she only cares about protecting her. Chanel worries about this getting out but Paulina assures that it won’t and that everything is under control. Sloan then enters and questions what makes her say that. Sloan introduces herself to Chanel and says she feel like they already met since she knows so much about her. Paulina warns Sloan not to talk to Chanel or even look at her. Sloan asks if they’ve come to any decision yet. Paulina argues that it hasn’t been 24 hours yet. Sloan informs her that her clients are getting antsy so she needs to know how they plan to proceed with the settlement offer. Paulina calls it blackmail. Chanel questions Sloan doing this for a living for people too afraid to show their faces. Chanel argues that she can’t do this. Sloan says there is a very simple solution but the clock is ticking. Paulina talks about dealing with people like her over the years and they all failed, so she doesn’t scare her. Sloan remarks that Chanel seems pretty scared. Paulina assures that her PR firm is handling the situation. Sloan calls it a lawsuit waiting to happen with a very unpleasant discovery process. Chanel calls her disgusting. Sloan suggests Chanel tell Paulina to deal with her directly. Paulina argues that Stephanie is trained to deal with delicate situations like this. Paulina then threatens to deal with her directly but says she has to get back to her campaign because she has more important things to deal with. Sloan argues that she is by far the most important thing she has to deal with. Sloan warns that if Paulina hasn’t discovered that by now, she soon will.

Alex admits maybe he jumped to conclusions and that he was surprised to come over and see Chad. Chad questions why he’s coming over at all. Alex says the point is that Stephanie has all these workplace rules that he’s trying to abide by but it’s impossible which she disagrees with. Alex asks how her date with Chad was then. Stephanie clarifies that it wasn’t a date and that they were celebrating his first day on the job. Alex questions how celebrating her new employee’s first day on the job is okay but if he wants to ask out his employee, it’s highly offensive and inappropriate. Chad explains that what happened between he and Stephanie was consensual. Alex thanks him for admitting there’s something between them.

Wendy sits in the town square with her laptop and tries hacking in to Li’s work e-mail but she can’t succeed. She complains and wonders what Li is hiding as Johnny jogs by and comments on her having a rough day at the virtual office.

Li follows EJ to the board room and says he needs to speak to him privately. EJ says there is nothing to discuss as they are going to vote Gabi out and once they are back in charge, Li will be fired and removed from the board. Li says he won’t be and warns that if EJ tries to get rid of him, he’ll make Stefan flip on him so fast that his head will spin.

Gabi reminds Stefan of something he got for her and argues that she triggered a memory. Stefan tells her to stop. Gabi argues that everyone in the room saw he got rattled because his feelings for her were trying to rise from the surface. Gabi points out that it’s just them now. Gabi tells him to look in to her eyes and tell her the truth. Stefan then admits he was thinking about them.

Sloan threatens to go straight to the press with this information. Paulina argues that she won’t do that because if she does, this is over and her clients will never get what they want from her. Chanel argues that this isn’t Paulina’s problem but hers. Sloan is pretty sure it’s Paulina’s problem too. Paulina warns her to keep her daughter’s name out of her mouth. Paulina orders Sloan to take it up with Stephanie. Sloan warns that if she doesn’t get the results she wants, she’ll be back. Paulina tells her to get the hell out of her office. Sloan then exits. Chanel cries to Paulina that she’s so sorry. Paulina hugs her and assures that it’s okay.

Alex argues that even if Chad and Stephanie didn’t have sex, there is something going on between them and asks her if he’s right. Chad responds that she doesn’t owe him an explanation. Alex agrees and says Stephanie can date whoever she wants but asks her not to paint him out to be a jackass when she is doing exactly what she told him that he couldn’t do. Alex tells Stephanie to just be honest with him that she’s not attracted to him. Chad points out that she has repeatedly. Alex says she can speak for herself. Stephanie would prefer to just end this conversation. Alex admits that he didn’t believe Stephanie wasn’t in to him and he thought maybe they would get to a point where she would feel comfortable. Alex adds that he would’ve quit his job because he thought they could have had something special. Alex states that he came over to tell Stephanie that he’s sorry about her mom being in the hospital and how he acted like a jerk at the hospital when he didn’t know. Stephanie says she insisted that she was fine but Alex says he still felt terrible. Alex talks about wanting to send flowers or text her but he decided to just come over. Alex hopes that her mom gets better soon. Stephanie thanks him. Alex then says he understands now that she’s not in to him and she never was and she’s found somebody else that she is in to. Alex declares that he will accept that and let them get back to what they were doing. Alex then exits the house.

Johnny questions Wendy trying to hack in to the DiMera e-mail server and says he used to work there so he recognizes the interface. Wendy responds that she works at DiMera too and is head of I.T. in Fairbanks. Johnny questions what she did to get banished there. Wendy talks about getting better grades than Li but the Shins couldn’t have the baby sister showing up the first born son. Wendy declares that she’s not going to take it anymore. Johnny asks if that’s what this is all about. Wendy doesn’t want to ruin Li’s life and is just looking for something to use to get what she wants which is being transferred to DiMera Headquarters in Salem. Wendy says her family is all about transactions. Johnny gets it but warns that the DiMera Office here is a snake pit and everyone who works there is a two faced liar with a new CEO every week. Wendy wants a chance to show what she can do. Wendy admits she has issues with Li but she still loves him and she’s actually a little worried about him. Johnny mentions overhearing her saying that she thought Li was hiding something. Wendy asks if he’s close with Stefan. Johnny admits that he just met him this morning because he’d been dead for four years. Wendy brings up Li being engaged to Stefan’s ex-wife. Wendy asks if it’s true that Stefan lost all interest in Gabi. Johnny confirms that Stefan told him that he didn’t love Gabi anymore. Wendy calls that a serious 180 and asks if he knows what happened there. Johnny says he has some ideas. Wendy says she does too and suggests they share them.

EJ argues that Li has no control over Stefan. Li asks who he thinks had him kept on ice for the past four years. EJ says it was Kristen but Li reveals that he’s wrong and that Kristen only stumbled upon Stefan when Jake died. Li explains that Kristen and Dr. Rolf brought Jake to Dr. Rolf’s lab to try to revive him and it didn’t work, but Stefan did get a new heart out of it. Li reveals that it was him, not Kristen, who continued to fund Dr. Rolf’s research until he was out of prison. Li then announces that Stefan came back to life on his orders, but only after he got Dr. Rolf to turn him against Gabi. EJ realizes that Dr. Rolf did brainwash Stefan then. Li confirms that he had it done and warns that he can have it undone.

Stefan tells Gabi that he was thinking about the time she had his heart ripped from his chest and gave it to Julie, claiming he felt flustered by a wave of a nausea as he realized what a snake she is. Stefan says he begins to feel ill every time he’s near her. Gabi wants him to admit his feelings for her. Gabi argues that their love is stronger than whatever Dr. Rolf did to him. Stefan shouts that Dr. Rolf brought him back to life. Gabi complains that they had amazing memories but now he has no emotional connection to them. Gabi questions why he doesn’t want to feel that love. Gabi asks Stefan to tell her where Dr. Rolf is and then she will make this right and make him whole again.

Paulina tells Chanel that she’s so sorry as she worked so hard to put this behind her. Paulina says it never occurred to her that running for Governor would lead to this being dug up but she should’ve known. Chanel insists it’s not her fault. Chanel feels terrible that this could ruin Paulina’s campaign. Paulina assures that Chanel means more to her and that is why she is going to drop out of the race.

Stephanie thanks Chad for the assist with Alex. Chad asks if Alex is always angry and irrational like that at work. Stephanie agrees he was angry but not irrational. Chad complains about Alex just assuming they almost slept together. Stephanie points out that they almost did. Chad feels that doesn’t give Alex the right to come over and start demanding answers about her personal life. Stephanie notes that Alex acknowledged that. Chad thinks Alex should just accept that Stephanie doesn’t have feelings for him. Stephanie feels guilty about Alex not knowing the whole truth. Chad tells her not to feel guilty unless she does have feelings for Alex.

Johnny tells Wendy his theory that Dr. Rolf may have brainwashed Stefan in to hating Gabi. Johnny says if anyone could do it, it’s him, but asks why. Wendy notes that Li could have put him up to it as he has a major motive. Johnny brings up that EJ has motive too since his chances of becoming CEO of DiMera would be over if Stefan got back with Gabi.

EJ points out that if Li unbrainwashes Stefan, he would lose Gabi. Li responds that Gabi wasn’t part of the plan and that he only kept Stefan around because he thought he could use him to gain power at DiMera, but he didn’t plan on falling for his widow along the way. Li says he’ll cut Gabi loose and end it. EJ points out that they are engaged. Li calls the company his life and admits he is willing to dump the woman he loves to retain his position. EJ doesn’t believe him. Li dares him to try him.

Stefan asks Gabi why he would tell her where Dr. Rolf is and says this has nothing to do with her. Gabi argues that it does and insists Dr. Rolf did something to him. Gabi says she is refusing to let him go because she knows he still loves her and that he can’t deny that feeling. Gabi says it will just get stronger until he cannot deny it any longer. Stefan reminds her that she is engaged to another man. Gabi accuses him of changing the subject because he’s afraid and she’s right that she’s still in his heart. Gabi points out that his heart is pounding and he can’t deny that.

Chanel tells Paulina that she can’t quit the race because it won’t help since they already have the information. Paulina refuses to pay the people off. Chanel offers to do it since the Bakery had a record quarter. Paulina won’t let her use her hard earned income to pay these people off, warning that they will just come back asking for more. Paulina declares that what Sloan is doing to them is illegal so they are going to shut her down before anyone finds out Chanel’s secret. Chanel questions how. Paulina informs her that Stephanie is on it as they speak. Paulina calls Stephanie smart and talented and she understands that confidentiality is of the utmost importance. Paulina adds that Chad signed an NDA because Stephanie hired him and he knows about neutralizing a threat. Paulina assures that Stephanie and Chad are all over this as they speak.

Stephanie tells Chad that they need to figure out this Paulina Price situation. Chad points out that she dodged him asking her about Alex. Stephanie doesn’t want to waste any more time on him. Stephanie worries that Sloan is going to call any minute and they need to have a strategy in place before she does. Sloan then shows up at the door. Stephanie thought they would schedule a meeting. Sloan shows their settlement offer and argues that her client deserves retribution and they’d like this go away as quickly and painlessly as possible without destroying Paulina’s campaign. Stephanie tells her that she will need some time to get the funds together and will call her when she’s ready. Sloan says that she’s making the right call and they will talk soon as she then walks away.

Wendy asks Johnny if he thinks EJ and Li could be working together. Johnny calls it possible since they both want the same thing. Johnny assures that he won’t say anything to EJ. Wendy asks if they don’t get along. Johnny calls EJ a condescending jerk who treats him like dirt, so if he’s trying to screw over Stefan, he wants to do something about it but he doesn’t know what yet as he has to figure out what’s going on first. Johnny then asks Wendy how she’d feel about teaming up together to find out the truth.

EJ and Li return the office with Stefan’s vote proxies. EJ says they will be back for the big vote. Li says they will be ready. Gabi asks if they came to an understanding. Li responds that they did.

Chad questions why Stephanie told Sloan that they would get the money together. Stephanie says she was just stalling for time since they didn’t have a plan. Stephanie worries that this is Paulina’s child and her future, so they can’t screw this up. Chad assures that they won’t. Stephanie wishes she was so sure.

Chanel cries that this did not have to happen if she had been more careful and made sure it stayed buried. Paulina assures that it was buried but someone dug it up to get rich and she will deal with that someone. Chanel feels she shouldn’t have to. Paulina feels she failed Lani but she won’t fail her. Paulina declares that she will never let down her children again as she hugs her.

Gabi asks Li what happened with EJ. Li responds that they came to a compromise of sorts but unfortunately, he still has the votes and there’s nothing they can do about that. Gabi asks if they are both out then. Li says no as he spoke to his father and he won’t allow his son to be fired. Gabi guesses he won’t protect her. Li says if there was any other way, he would never have agreed, but this way he can still be on the inside, fighting for her. Li calls it just a temporary setback and before they know it, they will both be back on top. Li hopes she understands that. Gabi is disappointed and devastated, feeling like she lost everything. Gabi cries that she just has Li’s love and loyalty. Gabi hugs Li and says she doesn’t know what she would do without him.

EJ and Stefan return home to the DiMera Mansion. Stefan pours bourbon and toasts to them as the two new CEOs of DiMera Enterprises and declares they did it. EJ responds that he’s afraid there’s been a slight change of plan because Li went running to his dad, who refused to go along with the plan to oust his son. EJ adds that Wei Shin also has some concerns about Stefan’s ability to run a company after being comatose for four years. EJ says they both know that he’s not impaired and that he just needs to see his abilities are in tact before putting him in charge. EJ states that Gabi will still be gone, he will be elected CEO, and Li will be remain on as his number two. Stefan questions if he’s left out in the cold then. EJ assures he will be given a high level executive position. Stefan questions EJ and Li running things. EJ responds that it’s the only deal that the board would approve but assures that it’s only temporary as he will find a way to get rid of Li and then he and Stefan will be on top together. EJ toasts to Stefan as his future co-CEO.

Wendy questions Johnny wanting her to team up with him when she doesn’t even know him. Johnny says he doesn’t know her either but he knows she’s smart and highly motivated. Wendy asks what if Johnny and EJ work things out and decide to stab her in the back. Johnny assures that won’t happen and that he could say the same about her but they both want the same thing. Johnny says two smart and highly motivated heads are better than one. Wendy then agrees to team up with Johnny.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Mama, what is going on? You look super serious.

I think you need to have a seat.

Did you just call me a hypocrite? I called you the biggest hypocrite I’ve ever met because I have to follow all the rules or else, and yet you can do whatever the hell you want. Ask. Chill out for a second. Seriously. Alex, what are you talking about? You said you would only continue working for Titan if I respected all of your boundaries.

You called it sexual harassment. If I were to do as much to ask you out for aroyo. So I had been trying to keep it strictly professional and only business, and showing up to your employees house on invited fire, enough crazy accusations that doesn’t cross any boundaries, and sleeping with the new guy who just hired is.

Or is that not a violation of your precious rules? Or do you just make an exception for somebody named Chad Damara?

Can I help you? I was just about to knock. I must be psychic. Look, if you’re here to, uh, sell a cable package, we’re not really, I’m not selling. I’m looking for stuff in Damara.

Look into my eyes. Okay. Sometimes after we, we were just looking to each other’s eyes please. Where is it gone? Where? Where is that gone?

I should have admitted it before now, but my pride, my ego wouldn’t let me do it. And I’m done with all that now. Now, if we never get outta here, I’m not leaving anything unfinished. That’s why I’m laying it all out on the line. I care for you. Get me Hernandez and S and I’m done and pretending I don’t,

what’s wrong,

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

Um, Hello. I didn’t invite you into my house. Sue late. Who the hell are you and what do you want? I told you I need to see Stephan. Amira, My uncle’s not here. Do you know where I can find him? I know where I can find our head of security, and I’m gonna call him unless you answer my question. Who the hell are you?

I’m Wendy Shin. Who the hell are you?

What’s wrong is this conniving little bitch stole my job and I want it back. Even if the shareholders vote your way, you’re insane. If you think your brother will let you run this company, my brother and I are gonna run the company together as co CEOs. Although that arrangement didn’t work out for me and Chad, I know he’ll be overjoyed that the family is back in control of Damir at long miles.

And our first order of business will be two. Clean house. Take out the trash, if you will. You’re making a big mistake. Holy, you should know why now the Amirs of horror, nothing more than disloyalty all trades. Masco

Demy. Don’t worry, I’ll do everything in my power to help you. Unfortunately, Lee, you can’t help her since we’ll be getting rid of you.

So how did you come to the conclusion that Chad and I are sleeping together? Because I’m not an idiot, because I was at Julie’s place last night and I saw you two canoodling over a bottle of champagne. Oh, that’s an Olympic sport. Me thinking of canoeing from the moment to Titan hired you. You have been lecturing me, Stephanie.

You’ve been having my brother lecturing me about understanding what constitutes sexual harassment in the workplace and that there is a, a, a, a line that just cannot be crossed. Meanwhile, meanwhile, what? Meanwhile you. Stephanie, get down off of your fake moral high horse and just be honest with me. It is clear what happened between you and your new employee last night, and now here you are, the morning after I said you weren’t an idiot.

Okay, I’m sitting down now. Will you please tell me why I’m here? It’s about my campaign. Oh no mama. If you need more vote for Paulina cookies. We can’t right now. The bakery is swapped. It’s not about the cookies. Chanel. It’s about this.

My father’s chairman of the board. You can’t o. Oh, but I can, I’ll be back shortly with Stephan’s voting proxy. I’d suggest you contact the shareholders and let them know we’ll be calling a meeting Posthaste. Of course. It’s really a formality since we already know the outcome.

If there’s anything you need in that desk, now would be the time to take it. It’s still there. I know it is. I cannot wait until you are gone so I don’t have to listen to this God perak and travel anymore.

Now, clean out your desk, Gabby. Don’t do anything. I’m gonna go find EJ and put a stop to this like ej. There’s nothing you can do to stop it. We’ll see about that.

Wendy Shin, as in Leashing, he’s my older brother. Hey, wait a second. I, I think I heard about you yet. I heard you kick some serious ass at the, uh, Damara. Go in Hong Kong. That was you, right? Yeah. It was impressive. So what do you need to see Ste about? Well, that would be none of your business. Johnny Damara.

Do you know when your uncle might be home? Johnny Damara. Well, he just left, so it’ll probably be a while. Well, I don’t have time to stick around, but uh, I’ll be back.

Can’t wait.

What the hell are you laughing? You obviously know I hired Chad. I’ve been using this place as an office. Kayla’s in the hospital. Steve’s been with her 24 7 when Stephanie’s not with her parents. She’s been here working except when she’s out getting wasted with you. Okay. For your information, Chad went home last night and then he showed up here for work this morning.

Since you’re spying on us, maybe you realized that we’re wearing different clothes than we were at Julie’s place,

so you didn’t. Sleep together. No, we didn’t. Maybe you can go now. We have a lot of work to do. Right. Okay. For the record, Stephanie’s not a hypocrite, but you and my friend had been a complete jackass gas.

Where did this come from? Some sleazy lawyer named Sloan Peterson brought it to me last night on behalf of her mystery client. Well, what did they want? Hush money. They’re blackmailing you. How is that possible? How do they even know about this? I don’t know what happened so long ago. I, I was sure that it would never come out.

This was all my fault. Your campaign could be ruined because its stupid mistake I made in college. Chanel, Please forget the campaign. That is the last thing that is on my mind right now. Oh, I care about is protecting you. What?

It won’t. I’ll make sure of that. Trust me, she know everything is under control. And what makes you say that?

Hmm? You must be Chanel SLU Peterson. That’s okay. , I feel like we already met after all. I know so much about you. Don’t you talk to my daughter? Don’t you even look at her? I presume you brought her up to speed. Oh, on What a sleazy, bottom feeder you want. Yes, she knows. So have we come to any decisions here?

Well, you gave me 24 hours. It hasn’t been that long. My clients are getting antsy. Okay. I need to know how you plan to proceed with the settlement. Settlement of you, right? That’s what we’re calling blackmail these days. Apparently this is what you do for a living. You represent clients who wanna make bank by extorting people.

They, and they’re too afraid to show their faces. You really are scum. Chanel, no mama, she can’t do this. Your mother knows is a very simple solution here, but the clock is ticking. I’m in real estate and you know, over the years I have dealt with countless people, waste slimier than you trying to shake me.

They failed every day on one of them, so get this straight. Ms. Peterson, you don’t scare me. Your daughter seems pretty scared. Chanel has nothing to fear. My public relations firm is handling the situation. This is a PR matter. No, this is a lawsuit waiting to happen. One with a very unpleasant discovery process and oh, what there is to discover.

You’re disgusted. You’re just saying it like it is. Sweetheart, if I were you, I would tell my mother to deal with me directly. Ms. Johnson is trained in how to handle delicate situations such as this one. Hey, but if you prefer, you know, I can handle you myself. Roughly. Is that a threat? Oh, honey, that’s a promise.

Now, excuse me, I need to get back to my campaign. Lord knows I have more important things to deal with in the likes of you. I am by far the most important thing that you have to deal with. And if you haven’t discovered that by. You soon will, Honey,

maybe I jumped to conclusions. You think I’m surprised, dude? Okay. I didn’t plan on coming over here and expect to see you. Why are you coming over here at all? Anyway, the point is that she has all these workplace rules that I am sincerely trying to abide by, but. It is impossible. It’s really not. Okay.

Then tell me how your date with Chad went. It wasn’t a date we were celebrating his first day on the job. Fine. Then tell me how celebrating your new employee’s first day on the job is no problem at all. But if I want to ask out my employee to a lunch to discuss business, it is completely offensive and highly inappropriate.

All right. Let me mansplain this for you then. See what happened between Stephanie and me was consensual. There you go. There it is. Thank you, Chad. He admits it. There is something between you.

Okay. Big brother. Hacking into your personal laptop didn’t get me anywhere, so I’ll just access your work email from the damara server. Just type your password and two step verification. No way locked out. Dude, I’ve been lecturing you forever about having another layer of security and you do it now. Oh, damnit late.

What are you trying so hard to hide? Rough day at the virtual office. Huh? You again?

What are you doing? I need to speak with you privately. There’s nothing to discuss. Once Stephan gets you shares back, we’re gonna vote Gabby out, and once we’re back in charge, you’ll be fired and removed from the board. Now I won’t be, Excuse me, if you try to get rid of me, I’ll make your brother flip on you so fast.

Your head will spin.

I’ll take this. I like this one. I know you got it for me. Remember?

What, what just happened? No, I I saw it the same thing that happened earlier when I told you to look into my eyes when I said triggered a memory. My God, will you please stop? No, no, no, no, no, no step. I am not the only one. Everybody in this room saw it. You. You got rattled. And it’s because the feelings that you had for me that you still have for me, were trying to rise at the surface.

Okay. Look, it’s just us. It’s just the two of us. Do it again. Look into my eyes and this time just tell me the truth. You were thinking about us, weren’t you?

Yes.

Yes, I was.

You do realize that I could go straight to the press with this information. You good? But you won’t. Why? Because you know damn well if you do, it’s over. Your clients will never get what they want from me. Mama, this isn’t your problem. It’s mine. Oh no. I’m pretty sure it’s her problem too. Chanel, you keep my daughter’s name out your freaking mouth.

What are you gonna do? Slap me, mama. Let me handle this. Let me handle this, baby. I thought you wanted Stephanie Johnson to handle this. That’s right. I do. It’s called delegating Now. You want results? Take it up with her. Fine. But if I don’t get the results that I. I’ll be back. We’ll see about that now. You know what?

You just need to get the hell outta my office.

Oh, mama, I’m so sorry. No, no, it’s okay. It’s okay. It’s okay. Sweet, babe. This be so sweet, baby. Bigger. Come here. I got you. God, you, I got you. So you two didn’t have, There is something going on between you consensual. Yeah, I’m sure it is. Am I right? Yeah. She doesn’t owe you an explanation. No, she doesn’t owe me an explanation shed, Stephanie.

You can date whoever you want to be with, but please do not paint me into being a jackass because you’re doing exactly what you told me I couldn’t do. So instead of hiding behind this sexual harassment handbook, why don’t you just be honest with me? Tell me, you’re not attracted to me. She has repeatedly, and I believe that she can speak for herself.

I would prefer to just end this conversation.

Look Chad’s, right? You said you weren’t into me. I didn’t believe it. I thought you were hanging onto these rules. I also thought that maybe we would get to a point where you felt comfortable, whether that meant riding up the contract that Titan. Or me quitting my job cuz I would do that cuz I really think we could have had something special.

Anyways, I came over here to tell you that I am sorry about your mom, Stephanie Sonny told me she was sick and unfortunately it was too late for me because I already ran into you at the hospital and you were really upset and I acted like a jerk. No, I, I insisted I was fine. And not in a nice way. I still felt terrible and I was gonna send you flowers, but then son told me that was gonna be too romantic that I was gonna text you.

But I figured that was a little impersonal. So here I am and I really do hope that your mom gets better soon. Thanks. And honestly, I do understand you’re not into me. You never were, and you have found somebody else that you are. And I need to accept that, but I’m a big boy and I will let you two get back to whatever you were doing,

acting into the Damara email server. Course not. You know, I used to work there, so I recognize the interface. Well, I work at Damara too. Really? Never saw you around. Gonna keep me hidden. I’m head of it in Fairbank, , Alaska. What’d you do to get banished there? Got better test scores than Lee my whole life.

Better grades. So much. It was magna and all that, which should have put me in first position, but, The shins can’t have the baby sister showing up the first fourth son. So it was off to the tundra for me. That sucks. Fifth grade, I’m not gonna take it anymore. We rock on. So is that what, uh, is that what this is all about?

Hacking your email, unleash some digital revenge. I don’t wanna, bro, to his life, I’m just looking for something I can use to get what I want, which is, A transfer to Damara headquarters here in Salem. Okay. I know it sounds sketchy. This is how my family roles were all about transactions. No, I get it.

Believe me, it’s just the, uh, the damara office here is a snake pit. Really? Totally. I mean, everyone that works there is a two face liar. There’s a new CEO every other week. Trust me. It’s toxic. Yeah. Well, I want a chance to show what I can. Well, I do have issues with my brother. I still love him and I’m actually a little bit worried about him.

I might have overheard you saying you thought he was hiding something. Are you close with your Uncle Stephan? I actually just met him this morning. He’s kind of been dead for the last four years, so I’ve. I assume you know Lee’s engaged to his ex-wife. Yeah. Gabby Hernandez, the CEO of Damara Enterprises.

Yeah. Well my brother told me that Stephan lost all interest and Gabby is not true apparently. Yeah, when I talked to him this morning, um, told me he didn’t love her anymore. Sounds a pretty serious 180. Do you know what happened there? I have some ideas. So do I. So how about let we share?

What are you talking about? You have no control over Ste. Who do you think had kept on ice for the past four years? My sister wrong. Kristen only stumbled upon him after Jake died. Jake? She and Ralph brought Jake’s body to Ralph’s lab to try to revive him. It didn’t work. However, his twin brother did get a new heart out of him.

I see. But it was me, not Kristen, who continued to find Ralph’s research until he was released from prison. Stefan came back to life on my orders, but only after I got Ro. To turn him against Gabby. So Ralph did Brainwash. I had it done and I can have it undone.

You’re right. I was thinking about you. I was thinking about the time that you had my heart ripped from my chest and you gave it to Julie Williams. You’re liar. So if you’re wondering why I was feeling flustered, it’s because I felt this wave of nausea wash over me as I realized what a conniving snake you are.

Fact, every time I’m near you, I begin to feel physically ill, and every time you’re near me, you start to. Admit it. Why? Why won’t you just admit it? You know what? Soon you won’t even have a choice, because whatever RO did to you to make you hate me, the truth is stronger. Our love is stronger. Oh, please, Why can’t, Why do you even know?

Let Wolf do this to you? It’s taken so much from you. Ro brought me back to life. But that’s your life. What does that even mean? We have shared some amazing, wonderful memories together, and since you have been back, you have no emotional connection to them. Why? Why don’t you wanna feel that? The love, you know where Ralph is, please.

You know where he is. Just tell me where he is and I will fix it. I will, I will make this right and I, I’ll figure out how to make you hold again.

I’m so sorry baby. It worked so hard to put this behind you. What are you sorry for? It never occurred to me. Running for a governor can mean they dug this up. My past, my scholarships, yes, but yours ooh, politics and nasty business. I should have known. This isn’t your fault. I told Stephanie, she knew all my secrets.

This isn’t your secret, mama. It’s mine. I feel so terrible that this could ruin in your campaign. I know how much this means to you. Sweet child. You mean infinitely more? You mean everything. And that is why I am going to drop out of this.

Thanks for the assist with Alex. You need my help. Is he always like that at work? Like what? Angry, irrational. He was definitely angry, but I don’t think it’s fair to say that he was being irrational. But he saw us together last night and then again this morning he just assumes we slept together. We almost did.

because Sure. But that doesn’t give him the right to come over here and start demanding answers to by a, about your personal life. And he acknowledged that. Okay. Look, I just think that if you don’t have feelings for him, he should accept that. So hopefully he does, and that’s the end of it. I just feel guilty for him not knowing the whole truth.

Don’t feel guilty, but unless you do have feelings for him.

So you think this Dr. Roth guy might have brainwashed Stephan into hating Gabby. If anyone can do it, it’s him. But the question is why my brother could have put him up. He does have a pretty major motive to keep s Stephan and Gabby apart. So does my dad. Why would he care if Stephan gets back together with Gabby?

My dad’s chances of becoming CEO at the mirror are over. If you un brainwashed Stephan, you’ll lose cash. Abby was not part of the plan. I only kept your brother around because I thought I could use him to gain power at d. But you didn’t plan on falling for his widow along the way. Kar loose. I’m sorry, Gabby, I’ll end it.

She’s your fiance and this company is my life. So you are willing to dump the woman you love to retain your position here, correct?

I don’t believe you. Try me

really. You think I’m going to tell you where Ralph is? Why would I do that? So we can get answers? No, no, no. Gabby, there is no we, This has nothing to do with you. This has everything to do with me and what you feel when we’re together. I have already told you how. No, I know. I’m disgusted. We’re Pauls. Yes, We get it.

I. But that’s because Wolf did something to you. I don’t know. Maybe he put a micro chip in your head and maybe he shot you off. It’s a magic potion. But you know what? I am not letting this go. I’m not letting you go because I know the truth. The truth is that you still love me. And no matter how much time goes by, you can’t deny that feeling and it’s just gonna get stronger and stronger until you cannot deny any longer.

Gabby, have you forgotten that you are engaged to another man? You changed the subject because you’re afraid I’m right.

I’m

It’s you deny that.

Mama, you can’t quit the race. Why not? Well, first off, I won’t let you. Besides it won’t help. They already have the information. What they want now is the cash. I’m not giving them a damn does. Okay, well then let me Sweet bits had a record quarter. Absolutely not. You are not going to use your hard earned income to pay some creep.

And if we paid this once, they’ll just keep coming back asking for more. Chanel. What this lawyer is doing to us is illegal now we just going to shut her down before anyone ever finds out your secret. S J P R is on a comprehensive strategy as we speak. And you trust her. This Stephanie? Mm-hmm. . I do. She’s smart, she’s talented, and she understands that confidentiality is of the utmost importance and.

Chad Damara signed an nda. Chad Damara. Mm-hmm. . Stephanie hired him. , my man. He knows a thing or two about neutralizing a threat. Don’t worry, baby. I’m sure the two of them, they’re all over this. As we speak, we need to figure out this p a price situ. It’s a nice dodge. What do you mean? I just asked you about Alex.

Okay. Can we not waste any more time on him? Sloan Peterson’s gonna call any minute and we need to have a strategy in place before she does, if that’s Alex again.

Ms. Johnson, SLU Peterson. I was expecting a call on a home visit. I’m a fan of the personal touch. And you are Chad Jamira. I am. Chad’s my new associate. Yes. I know we spoke on the phone, so should we get into it? We were supposed to schedule a meeting. I thought I’d expedite the process. So this is our settlement offer.

I’m sure you’ll agree that the figure is more than reasonable. My client deserves retribution, of course, but we’d like to make this go away as quickly and quietly as possible without destroying this prices campaign. We’re big fans, right? We’ll need some time to get the funds together. I will reach out once I have everything in order.

You’re making the right call talks in.

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. Johnny, please don’t say anything about us. So my dad, No, don’t worry. I won. What do you do not get along? Uh, let’s just say he’s a condescending control freak who treats me and everyone I care about.

Like they’re, so, if he’s trying to screw over my Uncle Stephan, I wanna do something about it. Like what? I don’t know yet. First I gotta figure out what’s going on. Yeah, I’d like to know that myself. So, Wendy Shin, how would you feel about teaming up together to find out the truth?

Good news, brother. I have your process. We’ll be back for the big vote. We’ll be ready. Did you two come to an understanding? Yes, we did.

Why’d you tell Sloan that we’d get the money together? I thought Pauline had no intention of caving. She doesn’t, and she. I was just stalling for time because we still don’t have a plan. We, we’ll come up with one. This is Pauline’s child, her future, her freedom. We can’t mess this up. We won’t. I wish I was so sure.

This did not have to happen if I had been more careful. Made sure this stayed buried. Oh no, it was. It was buried. But after all these years, someone dug it up to get rich and. I’m gonna deal with that summer. Yeah. But I wish you didn’t have to. No. Your poor sister, she, she paid the price for my mistakes. I won’t fail you.

But you didn’t. Uhuh Never again. Never again. Chanel. Never will I ever let down my children again.

What happened with ej? We came to a compromise of sorts. Unfortunately, he still has the votes. Nothing we can do about that. So we’re both out. No, I spoke with my father. He won’t allow his son to be fired.

Right? But he won’t protect me. C, if there were any other way, I’d never have agreed. This way, I’m still on the inside where I can keep fighting for you. For us,

this is just a temporary setback. Before you know it, we’ll both be back on top. I hope you understand it. Disappointed. I devastated, actually. I feel like I’ve lost everything.

I have, I, I have you, I have your love, your loyalty. What I would do without you, Lee,

uh, it’s a bit early for Bourn. It’s a big day. To the two new CEOs at Damara Enterprises. You did it, Brother Stephan. I’m afraid there’s been a Slack changer plan. No thought it was all ironed out, as did I, but Lee went running to his daddy. Who refused to go along with the plan to ask his son, I’m afraid.

Way also has some concerns about you, specifically your ability to run a company after you’ve been Como for years. Damn him. Of course, you and I are both know that you are not impaired. He just needs to see that your cognitive abilities are hack before he put you in charge. Mm. So what’s the bottom line here?

Gabby is still gone. Thank God. I will be elected CEO and Lee will stay on as my number two and I’ll be left on the court. No, not at all. You’ll be given a high level executive position, but you and Lee will be running things. The only deal the board would approve, but I assure you it is only temporary. I will find another way to get rid of Lee, and soon enough, you and I will be on top together

to my future co ceo.

You want me to team up with? I don’t even know you. No, I don’t know you either. But I know that you are a smart, highly motivated individual like myself. Don’t wanna look like a guy you can trust. Not really. Come on. Look, maybe you and your dad are getting along right now. What if you two work things out and then decide to stab me in the bag?

That is not gonna happen. And I can say the same thing about you and your brother. Look Wendy, we both want the same. And two smarts. Highly motivated heads are better than one.

Okay. Okay. Let’s do this. Right.

Update written by Joseph

Alex has a dream about being in bed with Stephanie and then Chad appearing in the bed as well. Alex then wakes up in bed with Allie and Chanel.

Stephanie is at home on the phone with Steve, telling him that she got an emergency message from Paulina, so she’s heading to see her now and will be at the hospital after. Stephanie takes two pills from her purse and then checks the mirror, noting that she doesn’t look too hungover. Stephanie then goes to leave as Chad arrives at the door.

Li calls Dr. Rolf, leaving a message questioning where he is and why he’s not answering his calls. Li warns that Gabi is looking for him and is already suspicious that he did something to Stefan to make him hate her. Li adds that Dr. Rolf better be in his lab when he gets there and declares that he’s not about to lose Gabi to that bastard. Li hangs up and goes to leave his room but opens the door and is surprised to see his sister,  Jing-Wen aka Wendy Shin, has arrived.

Johnny storms in to the living room of the DiMera Mansion to confront EJ but finds Stefan instead. Stefan says EJ told him that Johnny moved back in last night. Johnny responds that they’ll see how long that lasts. Johnny adds that he was glad to hear Stefan’s not dead. Johnny asks if EJ is around as he really needs to talk to him. Stefan informs Johnny that EJ left about 20 minutes ago.

Gabi finishes a phone call outside of her office, threatening to find a new head of security if he doesn’t find Dr. Rolf by noon. Gabi then heads in to the office to find EJ sitting at the desk.

Allie and Chanel wake up in bed with Alex. Allie notes that it was quite a night. Alex says part of him feels like he’s still dreaming and jokes with them that his dream came true.

Stefan tells Johnny that EJ told him what Ava did. Johnny calls it a mistake and says EJ is making a federal case about it. Stefan is not surprised that EJ is furious. Johnny argues that EJ is delighted because he found a way to get even more money and that EJ would’ve done exactly what Ava did. Stefan argues that EJ is trying to get back something that was stolen from this family. Stefan declares that this isn’t about money but about making sure Gabi gets kicked to the curb. Johnny reminds Stefan that Gabi is his wife. Stefan says not for long. Johnny brings up how everybody said how happy they were together and how crazy he was about her. Stefan responds that he’s not crazy about her now and that Gabi is about to get exactly what’s coming to her. Johnny calls that intense and asks what exactly Dr. Rolf did to him.

Gabi tells EJ to get out as she has work to do. Gabi threatens to call security as he has no right to be there. EJ remarks that one of them doesn’t have the right and they both know who that is.

Li questions Wendy showing up at his door with no heads up and asks what it’s about this time. Wendy reminds him that it’s about the promise that was made to her about her dream job, so she questions where it is.

Chad apologizes to Stephanie for not calling before showing up. Stephanie says it’s okay and he just surprised her. Chad says he just wanted to come over before work to talk so she invites him in. Chad says he would like to apologize for last night. Stephanie assures there is no need as they both had a lot to drink and are paying the price this morning. Stephanie says last night, reality had beaten them both up so the second bottle of champagne was a mistake and so was the nightcap. Stephanie adds that before they did something stupid, Chad did the thinking for both of them and she thanks him for that. Chad tells her that he really enjoyed working with her and talking to her, so he really doesn’t want to screw that up. Stephanie suggests they forget what happened after leaving Julie’s Place. Stephanie brings up the message that she got from Paulina, sounding like an asteroid is going to hit Salem. Chad offers to come with her. Stephanie agrees, noting that she could use all the help she can get as they then exit together.

Chanel and Allie relate to Alex dreaming about a threesome. Alex then gets out of bed and goes to take a shower. Allie feels there is something going on with him. Chanel responds that Alex is in love with them. Allie doesn’t believe that but Chanel thinks last night freaked him out because they are so hot that he fell in love with them. Allie argues that Alex doesn’t even know them that well and hasn’t known them long enough to be in love with them. Chanel feels he knows them enough and says she saw it in his eyes, so she knows she’s right and that there is love in the air.

Stefan tells Johnny that Dr. Rolf didn’t do anything to him and that you can’t make someone hate someone. Stefan can’t wrap his head around why he ever loved Gabi. Johnny is sure he’s not the only one that finds that weird. Stefan confirms plenty of people have chimed in and it’s getting old. Johnny says that everyone is saying one thing while Stefan is saying the opposite. Stefan doesn’t get why people are surprised since he and Gabi started out hating each other, so maybe he just convinced himself there was more to it than there was. Johnny brings up Dr. Rolf again but Stefan insists this has nothing to do with Dr. Rolf. Stefan questions what Dr. Rolf would have to gain by making him hate Gabi. Johnny calls that an interesting question but notes that it wouldn’t be the first time a DiMera has hired Dr. Rolf to do something that can’t be done. Stefan points out that Stefano is dead. Johnny argues that EJ inherited Stefano’s playbook. Johnny goes over how if Stefan was with Gabi, she’d have an iron grip on DiMera but if he sides with EJ then she doesn’t stand a chance.

Gabi reminds EJ that he doesn’t have the votes and they are at a tie which means she remains in place. EJ asks Gabi if she’s happened to notice that Ava hasn’t shown up for work. EJ says that Ava and Jake’s marriage was a fraud. Gabi disagrees, saying they loved each other. EJ calls that irrelevant because the marriage was a legal fraud, the kind that puts people behind bars.

Stephanie and Chad meet Paulina in her office. Paulina questions what Chad is doing there. Stephanie says her voicemail sounded serious so she thought she’d want the whole team on whatever this is. Paulina confirms it’s serious and sensitive. Chad reminds Paulina that she recommended Stephanie hire him and he thought that was because she trusted him. Chad agrees that they should’ve called and offers to wait outside. Stephanie suggests Chad sign a non-disclosure agreement because she could use his help. Paulina apologizes for not being at her best this morning and says that she does trust Chad as she needs to trust someone. Stephanie asks Paulina to tell them what the problem is. Paulina says not until Chad signs.

Li tells Wendy this is not a great time and asks if it can wait. Wendy points out that it only took her 10 hours to get there so she can wait a little longer for what’s coming to her. Li complains that she wants things handed to her on a silver platter. Wendy argues that their dad promised she’d be out of the grunt I.T. job in Fairbanks. Li argues that he promoted her but Wendy complains about it being in Fairbanks. Li says that their dad is the one who wants her there while Wendy argues that Li is the one who could do something about it and get their dad to listen. Li reminds her that this isn’t a good time. Wendy asks if she’s driving him crazy and declares that she’s going to keep doing so until he gets her the dream job in Salem, the center of all things DiMera. Li argues that it isn’t that simple while Wendy points out that he’s engaged to the CEO. Wendy then asks if he screwed that up too.

Gabi tells EJ that Ava has a valid marriage license, signed, sealed, and delivered. EJ tells her to keep digging that hole for herself. EJ informs Gabi that knowingly filing a forged marriage license is fraud which means that every subsequent business transaction predicated on that license would be fraudulent. EJ adds that if Ava knew that Jake’s signature was forged, her taking a seat on the DiMera Board as Mrs. Jake DiMera would be a fraud as would voting his shares and if anyone else knew the license was fraudulent, that person would be a partner in that fraud and equally culpable. EJ declares that all of that would be criminal which means that every business meeting, corporate filing, and pay check cashed since August 13 would be fraudulent and that would all be public record of criminal activity. EJ jokes that it was fun to say all that. Gabi responds that it will be fun to watch him get thrown out. EJ says she can go ahead and make that call but informs her that he has the marriage license and the forensics reports that say Jake’s signature had been forged. EJ reveals that Ava caved and sold Gabi down the river and then said it was all Gabi’s idea. Gabi mocks Ava accusing her and says she would pin something she did on someone else. EJ says the trial would be interesting but his first priority is getting Gabi the hell out of his office. EJ tells Gabi that now that Ava is no longer entitled to Jake’s shares, they default to his closest relative which is Vivian Alamain. Gabi argues that Vivian can’t vote because she’s incarcerated. EJ confirms that means Vivian has a right to assign a proxy for her vote and he has someone at the prison getting that signed, sealed, and delivered. EJ asks Gabi if she can guess which of her ex-lovers will get the nod. EJ adds that the change of ownership of Jake’s shares is being prepared. EJ tells Gabi that she’s out of moves and this is checkmate. EJ asks if she has any idea how much Stefan is going to enjoy being the deciding factor that gives her the boot. EJ then tells Gabi to have a great day as he exits the office.

Li tells Wendy that he and Gabi are fine and questions what she is talking about. Wendy responds that the walls here are thin and reveals that before he answered the door, she heard him on the phone having a meltdown about Stefan DiMera, Gabi’s not so late husband. Li argues that Stefan is totally uninterested in Gabi. Wendy asks why he was panicking then. Li shouts back that he wasn’t panicking so she asks if she hit a nerve as Li then gets a phone call from Gabi, who says she needs him. Li asks what’s wrong. Gabi says she can’t tell him over the phone and she just needs him to get there. Li says he’s on his way and hangs up. Wendy tells Li that she will come with him and they can talk about the job in the car. Li argues that he kept his promise and he’s sorry that she’s not satisfied, but she never is. Li then storms out. Wendy wonders why he’s so freaked out about Stefan DiMera. Wendy opens up Li’s laptop and decides to see what she can do.

Stefan questions Johnny thinking that EJ paid Dr. Rolf to brainwash him about Gabi. Stefan tells him that there’s a hole in his scenario because EJ would have had to have been working with Dr. Rolf long before he was alive, but EJ didn’t know he was alive until Gabi told him. Johnny argues that EJ is the most accomplished liar on two continents and Stefan bought it. Stefan doesn’t know what went on between Johnny and Ava but it sounds like he’s having a hard time accepting what she did, so now he’s taking whatever he can find to see what sticks. Stefan adds that if he loved Gabi, he would know.

Alex comes out of the shower. Chanel asks if he’s still in a mad rush to get out of here since he got out of the bed like it was on fire. Alex admits it was a bit awkward. Chanel thinks Alex seemed a bit overwhelmed as if he was under the grip of a powerful emotion. Allie adds that Alex seems in a rush to get out of here. Alex apologizes if that’s the way it seemed and assures them that he had an amazing time and they are both awesome. Chanel says they know why he feels like he needs to get out. Chanel reminds Alex that what happened last night was just about sex, nothing more, and a one time thing. Alex questions where this is coming from. Allie explains that Chanel thinks there might be something more. Alex assures that he’s in to them both but that’s not something any of them need to worry about. Alex then decides it’s time to come clean and explains that he didn’t try to rush out because he couldn’t deal with some feelings, but because he had a dream. Alex then reveals that the dream wasn’t about them, but about Chad DiMera which surprises and confuses them.

Chad signs the non-disclosure agreement for Paulina. Stephanie then asks Paulina what they are dealing with. Paulina calls it something that can undo her entire campaign, but that’s not what has her upset which is why she had to have Chad sign the NDA. Paulina reveals it’s about her daughter, Chanel. Stephanie questions what Chanel has to do with her campaign. Paulina explains that last night, she got a visit from the lawyer, Sloan Peterson. Chad recognizes that she represented Leo Stark when he was accused of murdering Abigail, so there’s nothing she wouldn’t stoop to. Paulina informs them that Sloan has another client and delivered an ultimatum from whoever it is as they know something about Chanel. Stephanie asks what it is, so Paulina hands her the file folder.

Alex explains to Allie and Chanel that the dream was actually about Stephanie and her being with Chad. Chanel jokingly asks if he dreamed about having a threesome with them. Alex clarifies that he dreamed that Chad had the capability of taking Stephanie away from him. Chanel points out that he doesn’t have Stephanie while Allie adds that he doesn’t know that Chad has her either. Alex assures this was a dream and why he’s all mixed up. Chanel and Allie joke about him dreaming about Chad while in bed with them. Alex tells them that he had an amazing time with them and he cares about them both a lot. Alex calls them amazing. Chanel doesn’t think anything could change that. Alex says he has to get going, but he doesn’t know which one of them to kiss goodbye first, so they both kiss him on the cheek.

Li goes to the DiMera Office where Gabi complains to him about what happened with EJ. Gabi admits that she doesn’t know of any more moves. Li asks if she’s sure he’s not bluffing. Gabi doesn’t think so since Ava didn’t come in and her phone must be off and EJ says he has the marriage license with proof that it’s forged. Gabi talks about EJ laughing at the idea of Stefan casting the deciding vote against her. Gabi cries that Li is the only one in her corner and the only one she can trust as she hugs him.

Johnny advises Stefan to think about it and tells him that he can’t just believe everything EJ says. EJ then comes home and says he sees they have finally met. Stefan responds that they were just getting to know each other. Johnny says he was telling Stefan to watch his back when EJ is around. EJ understands he’s still angry about Ava but they can talk about that another time since he and Gabi are at an end game right now. EJ tells Johnny that soon, his financial future will be brighter so he could show some gratitude which he questions. EJ knows Johnny is upset about Ava’s duplicity. Johnny argues that he’s upset that EJ treated Ava like dirt. EJ says that in time, he will see he did what was the best for everyone. EJ calls Ava bad news and suggests that Johnny turn the page and find someone more age appropriate. EJ tells Stefan that his mother’s power of attorney is being transferred as they speak, so it should be waiting for them at company headquarters. EJ asks if Stefan would like to give Gabi a peek at her dismal future. Stefan responds that he’d love nothing more. EJ declares that it’s so great that Stefan is not dead anymore as they exit the mansion together.

Stephanie tells Paulina that she can see why she is concerned. Paulina complains that Sloan is just going between her and her blackmailer, going after her daughter. Chad adds that there’s no guarantee they wouldn’t keep asking for more. Paulina worries that they could still go public with this shortly before the election. Paulina questions what they do about this now that they know the situation.

Allie tells Chanel that they are good with Alex and asks if they are good. Chanel asks why she asked that. Allie points out that they just did something really crazy and it was basically her idea, so she’s asking if she asked too much. Chanel still can’t believe they did that. Chanel brings up Allie saying she thought it might make them closer and she thinks it worked. Chanel calls last night really hot but says just the two of them is hotter. Allie agrees as they kiss while Chanel’s phone rings nearby with a call from Paulina.

Alex returns home to the Kiriakis Mansion and sits down with his tablet, where he sees an article about Chad joining Stephanie’s PR firm.

Wendy hacks in to Li’s personal laptop but finds nothing of interest. She declares that she needs to find out why he’s so freaked out about Stefan DiMera. Wendy decides to get that information straight from the horse’s mouth.

Li tells Gabi that they need to slow down and think of a way to get EJ back in his cage. Gabi complains that EJ thinks he’s already won and is so enjoying using Stefan as his hatchet man. EJ then arrives with Stefan and tells Gabi that he brought her a surprise.

Chad goes back home with Stephanie. Chad talks about meeting with Sloan. Chad suggests letting him take care of this while she goes to visit her mother. Alex then shows up at the door. Stephanie questions what he’s doing there. Alex responds that he’s here to tell her that she is the biggest hypocrite he’s ever met.

Chanel goes to see Paulina and says she got her message and she sounded terrible, so she asks if everything is okay.

Johnny complains that EJ is full of himself and comments on EJ telling him to find someone more age appropriate. Johnny then goes to leave the mansion right as Wendy Shin arrives.

Li warns EJ to watch it. EJ says he told Gabi that he would come back with ammunition .EJ presents Vivian’s power of attorney that will grant her proxy shares to Stefan. EJ advises Gabi not to wait for the vote to start looking for another job. EJ jokes that Stefan could give her a recommendation since he knows her better than anyone else. Stefan remarks that he wishes he didn’t and wishes he never laid eyes on her. Gabi questions why he’s being so mean to her. Gabi argues that they were in love so there must be some part of him that remembers that. Gabi asks Stefan to look in to her eyes, insisting there must be something in there. Stefan then has a flashback to admitting his feelings for Gabi.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Good morning. Yes it is. I just sleep. Let’s just say I earned my rest. Mm-hmm. Can I just tell you how glad I am that you changed your mind about me? That we no longer just keep it business between us and what can I say? You’re irresistible. Irresistible. I do have to tell you something. I, um, I saw you with Chad last night.

Really? Yeah. And I don’t know, I just thought that maybe somehow. You are into him. He says, I’m not.

That was some night, huh?

Yeah, I go to 9 1 1 Message from Pauline Price. I’m heading over to her office right now. Tell mom I’ll be there by 10. I will tell her I love her.

My.

At least I don’t look too hungover.

Dammit, Ro, why are you not returning my calls? Gabby has the mayor of security looking for you. She’s already suspicious that you did something to Stephanie to make him hate her. You better be in your lab when I get there. Not about to lose her to that bastar.

Okay, Dad, I’ve been thinking about this and first of all, uncle Step

Johnny, your dad told me you moved in last night. We’ll see how long it lasts. Uh, I was glad to hear the sheriff not dead, you know? Huh? Me too. So, so my dad around, I really need to talk to him. No, I’m sorry. You missed him left about 20 minutes ago. Okay. What? What do you think? You don’t know what? Okay, look, let me put it to you this way.

If you don’t find roll by noon, I’m gonna find a new head of security. Okay?

Good morning, sunshine

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

Sleeping in our bed. Ah, I wonder if he thinks it’s just right. Well, good morning. You two are cold. Yeah, well it was quiet a night, right? And we didn’t get much sleep. Oh. You know, Part of me feels like I’m still dreaming. What’d you dream about Teresa? And lucky for me, my dream came true.

So your dad told me what Ava Vitality. . She made a mistake and he’s making a federal case out of it. Come on. Yeah. She faked a marriage so she could steal her dead boyfriend’s stock shares. I wonder. He is furious . He’s not furious. He’s delighted. He found a way to get his myths on even more money that he doesn’t need.

He doesn’t give a rats ass about right or wrong. He would’ve done exactly what a. In a heartbeat. He’s not trying to get his myths on more money. What he’s trying to do is get back something that was stolen from this family. This isn’t about money. This is about making sure that scheming swine, Gabby Hernandez gets kicked to the curb.

What? But you think Gabby Hernandez is a scheming. She’s your wife. Not for long, thank God. But everybody, the two of you, everybody said how happy you were together. How crazy you were about her. Well, I’m not crazy about her now. And you know what? She’s about to get exactly what’s coming to her. Okay. That’s intense.

What exactly did Dr. Roth do to you? Anyway?

All right. Get out of here. Okay. Unlike you, I have work to do. I’m just trying it on for size, squeeze a little needs to be replaced, like a lot of things around here. Okay. I’m calling security. You have no right to. Well, one of us doesn’t, and we both know who that is, don’t we?

Okay, so showing up on my doorstep without giving a heads up. What’s it about this time? Oh, it’s about a promise that was made to me about my dream job. So where is it?

I’m sorry. I should have called before I just coming over here. No, it’s okay. You just surprised me. That’s all. I’m sorry. I just, I wanted to, um, come over before work to, to. Sure. Come on in.

And, and by, by talk. I, uh, actually, I mean, I’d like to apologize for last night. There’s no need. We both had a lot to drink and I’m paying the price for that this morning. Yeah, me too. Um, but I, I, I wanted to talk about No, no, Chad, I know what you were talking about. Look, last. Reality, which I hate had beaten us both up real good.

We were trying to blot it out. So that second bottle of champagne, that was a mistake. Coming here for a nightcap. That was the second one. And then before we did something really stupid, you did the thinking for both of us, and I thank you for that yesterday. I really enjoyed working with you, and I really enjoyed talking to you and.

I really don’t wanna screw that up. Let’s agree that we simply can’t remember a thing that happened since we left Julie’s place. Very good. Uh, spin. You should do pr, , speaking of which, I was just on my way out. I got a message from Paulina last night. She didn’t go into details, but judging from the sound of her voice, it sounds like an asteroid is about to hit.

Salem Pauling of the dramatic, Hard to imagine. You want me to come with you? Yes. I think I could use all the help I could get

So tell us by your dream. Sounds a lot like the one I had. Yeah, me too. You look at the time, I had no idea it was getting that late. Excuse me. Oh God. Hey, would you go’s mind if I use your shower? I promise you I will not use all the hot water. No problem.

You know when he said, Look, at the time he was not wearing a watch, there’s something going on. You’re right. And I know what it is. He’s in love with us. What? What, ? No, No way. Okay. First of all, love is a human emotion, and I don’t think our p Alex has any of those. He didn’t until last night, and that’s what’s freaking him out.

We were so hot that he like totaled, fell in love with that car. Oh my God, Chan. No, what? Wait, we, we were not that hot. And also, you can’t just be hot to have somebody fall in love with you. Like he doesn’t even know us that well. He hasn’t even known us that long to be in love with us. Okay? First of all, we are that hot.

And second of all, he knows us enough. I saw it in his eyes last. And I saw it in his eyes just now, so I know that I’m right that there is love in the air.

Dr. Wolf didn’t do anything. You can’t make a person hate someone, so you hate Gabby. I certainly don’t love her, quite frankly. Can’t begin to wrap my head around why I did if I did.

Surely I’m, I’m not the only one who thinks that’s a pretty weird about face. Oh, no, no, no, no. Plenty of folks have chimed in about it, including Gabby. You know what kid? It’s getting old. Okay, so let me get this straight. Everybody’s saying one thing and you’re saying the opposite. Does, doesn’t that make you wonder why that is?

I don’t understand why everybody’s so surprised. You see, Gabby and I started out hating each other. Okay, so maybe I sat there and I convinced myself that there was more to this relationship than there actually. That sounds like a rationalization to me. You can’t rationalize feelings, but you can’t control them.

You ever seen the man cheer in candidate? Not that that’s one of Ralph’s favorite movies. This has nothing to do with Ralph.

For one thing,

what would Ralph have to gain by making me hate Gabby? Hmm. Hmm. Interesting question.

Wouldn’t be the first time a Damara has hired him to do something that can’t be done.

Mild man’s dead. Mild man inherited his playbook. Look, think about it. Okay? If you and Gabby are still together, she’s got an iron. Damara, but if you side with my dad against her, she doesn’t stand a chance.

Do I need to remind you that you don’t have the votes? We can only sit at a tie, which means I remain in place. Gabby, have you happened to notice that Jake’s widow hasn’t shown up for work this morning? Sorry, sorry, sorry. I. Entirely hasn’t shown up. Jake doesn’t have a widow. That marriage was a fraud.

That not true. They loved each other. That’s totally irrelevant. The marriage is a legal contract, is a fraud. The kind of fraud that puts people behind bars.

Oh, come in.

Good morning, Paulina. What’s he doing here? Hello to you too, Paulina. Your voicemail sounded pretty serious. I thought we’d want the whole team in on. Whatever it is, whatever this is, is serious and sensitive. Okay. Paul, Amy, you. You were the one that recommended Stephanie hire me. I thought that was because you trusted me, but you were right.

We should have called. So if you’d like, I’ll, I will wait outside unless maybe he signs a nondisclosure agreement. If it’s as serious as you say it is, I could use his help. I’m sorry. Sorry. Uh, you know, I’m not, I’m not at my best this morning. I do. I trust you. God knows I need to trust someone. Paulina, can you just tell us what the problem is?

Not until he signs on the dotted line.

This isn’t a great time, can’t it? Wait, sure. Yeah. Uh, from Fairbanks to your doorstep only took me 10 hours. Go to door. Six hours and last row, coach between two biker dudes with boundary issues. So yeah, I’d be more than happy to wait a little longer for what’s coming to me. What’s coming to you? You mean what you want handed to you on a silver platter?

Damningly Dad promised I get taken out of that Grunt it job in Fairbank. I gave you a promotion. You’re in charge of it. In Fair Banks? Yeah. There’s only so much moose a girl can eat. Take it up with dad. He’s the one who wants you there, but you’re the one who can do something. Okay. You have the equipment it takes to get that sexist, patriarchal dinosaur to listen.

I’m just the girl exiled to Fairbanks until I start producing male grandchildren. Look, I told you, this isn’t a good time. Oh, I’m sorry I’m driving. You crazy, aren’t I? In a word? Yes. Guess what? I’m going to keep driving you crazy until you get me my dream. In Salem, the center of all things Damara. It isn’t that simple.

Actually. It is. You’re engaged to the CEO for God’s sake.

If you screwed that up too,

I don’t mean to ring on your delusional parade, but Ava has a valid marriage license, signed, sealed, and delivered . Keep digging that whole for. About six feet deep would do it. You’re whistling in the dark. I’m sharpening my knives. Quick legal lesson. Knowingly filing a forged marriage license is fraud, which means that every subsequent business transaction predicated on that license would be, I think you know where I’m going with this.

Fraudulent to tell so. If the groom signature had been forged, and if Ms. Fatali knew that her taking a seat on the Deir board as Mrs. Jake Deir would be fraudulent, voting his shares would be fraudulent, and if anyone else knew that license was fraudulent. And proceeded to aid in Ms. Tali in her enterprise.

That person would be a partner. And that fraud and equally culpable and all of that would be criminal, which means the minutes of every business meeting since August 31, every corporate filing since August 31, every paycheck cashed and re dividend check cashed , hell, even a $2. Expense account submission would be fraudulent, and all of that would be a public record of criminal activity.

Ooh. It was fun to say all that. Oh, it’s gonna be fun to watch you get thrown out on your ass. Mm. Well go ahead and make that call. You’ll just be kicking the can down the road. Gabby. I have the marriage license and the forensic reports that state that Jake’s signature had been forged, and when I show them both to Ava last night, she caved and then.

Just like that. She sold you down the river and then she said it was all your idea.

Well, now I’m quaking. Ava Fatali is accusing me. Oh, who would question her veracity? Who would ever think she’d try to pin something she did on someone else? Maybe I should call my brother the police commissioner to the stand. He can testify to a sterling character . Well, the trial will be interesting, but that’s not my first priority.

No. Job number one is getting you the hell outta my office. A little earlier you were crowing about folks. Well, now since Ava Ty is no longer, longer entitled to Jake shares, they default to his closest living relative. Vivian ae. Oh, she can’t vote. She’s incarcerated. Good. You know your bylaws, which means you also must know that she has the right to assign a proxy for ho vote even as we speak.

I have an emissary. It states for getting that. Um, how did you put it before sign, sealed and delivered. I want to refu guess which one of your ex. Is going to get the, In the meantime, Ava’s shares now rest with corporate compliance, where the change of ownership is being prepared

rather moves Gabby. It’s check mate, I wonder if you have any idea how much Dhan is going to enjoy being the deciding back that gives you the.

Well, you said you were busy. I wanna keep You have a great day.

Gabby and I are fine. What are you talking about? Oh, for such awan place. Doorsy are pretty thick. Right before I knocked I heard you having a meltdown about Stephan Damara. Isn’t he Gabby’s late husband, or, Uh, It’s not so late anymore. Back from the dead and totally uninterested in Gabby. Oh, then why were you panicking?

I wasn’t panicking, and I didn’t just hit a nerve.

What? Hey, where are you? I need you. What’s wrong? Look, I can’t tell you over the phone. Just get down here. I’ll be right there. I’ve gotta go. Great. I’ll go with you and we can talk in the car about a job. Gene win. I kept my promise. I’m sorry that you’re not satisfied, but then again, you never are.

So why are you so freaked out about Stefan Damara?

Let’s see what the it crowd. Do.

So you think EJ paid Ralph to brainwash me about Gabby. You see there’s a hole in your scenario. EJ would’ve had to have been working with Ralph Long before I was revived, but EJ didn’t know I was. Until Gabby told him.

So the most accomplished liar on two continents acted surprised to see you when you bought it. Okay kid. Look, I don’t know what went on between you and Ava Vitality, but it sounds to me you’re having a hard time accepting, which she did. And so now you’re taking whatever you can find, throwing it against the wall, seeing what sticks.

If I loved Gabby, even if it was buried deep in my subconscious, believe me, I’d know

you still in a mad rush to get outta here. Oh, I’m sorry. Uh, just now you hopped out of the bed like it was on fire.

That was a bit awkward, wasn’t it? Uh, you just seemed a bit overwhelmed as if in the grips of a powerful emotion, and you just seem a little anxious to get outta here. Mm-hmm. . Well, ladies, I am truly sorry if that’s the way it seemed because I can assure you I had an amazing time and you’re both awesome, Alex.

It’s fine. Look, we know why you feel like you have to get out of. I mean, we don’t, Well, I do. Look, Alex, we said this last night, but maybe we should say it again. What happened last night? It was just about sex. It was nothing more than that one time thing. That’s it. And where is this coming from? We were talking and one of us, an emphasis on one of us, Oh.

Thinks that there might be something more. Something more. More as in what? Like, trust me, I’m into you both truly. But that’s not something any of us need to worry about. Told you.

All right. Time to come clean.

I didn’t try to rush outta here because I couldn’t find a way to deal with some feelings. I try to rush outta here because I had a dream, a dream about us. I was covering there a bit.

The dream wasn’t about you guys. I had a dream about Chad Damara.

All right, your, uh, standard nda. Welcome to Look it over. I’m sure it’s fine. And uh, sorry to be so hardnosed to No, no, no. Please don’t apologize. You being hard nose is one of the reasons I decided to vote for you before I signed on with Stephanie. Thank you. So what are we dealing with? Paulina? Something that can undo my entire campaign, but you may not believe this, but that’s not what has me upset.

That’s why I had to ask you to sign that nda. See, it’s about my daughter Chanel.

I’m sorry. I’m not sure I understand. What does Chanel have to do with your campaign? So, um, last night I had a visit from a lawyer named Sloan Peter. She makes EJ look like Atticus Finch. She represented Leo when he was accused to killing my wife. There is nothing she wouldn’t s do to that would be her.

Well, she has another client. She won’t tell me who it is, but she delivered an ultimatum from him, her, but whoever it is, they know something about Chanel like what?

This.

So the dream was actually about Stephanie? Yeah. Last night I had a dream that she was with Chad Damara. So you dreamt that you had a freeway with them? No. No, not at all. I had a dream that this guy had the capability of taking her away from me. But you don’t have her. Yeah. And you don’t know that Chad has her either, Unless of course it’s not that you’re jealous of him being with her, but of her being with him.

No, no, no, no, no. This was a dream. This was a dream. It was. Mixed up. I’m all mixed up. Yeah, it sure sounds like it. Dreaming about Chad when you’re in bed with us. . Yeah. No wonder you were overwhelmed, . Kidding. Uh mm-hmm. . Anyways, moving forward, I had an amazing time with you guys. I’m sorry if it seemed a little weird right there, but I care about you both a lot and an awesome time hanging out.

You’re amazing. Well, I don’t think anything can change that. Good. I do need to get going, but,

But what, for what? I don’t know which one of you guys to kiss goodbye first. Okay. Well let us handle that.

I,

He said, Check me. Check me. Okay. I, I don’t wanna believe it, but I don’t see any moves left. Are you sure he is not bluffing? I don’t think so. I mean, Ava didn’t come in her phone must be for something because I tried to leave her a voicemail and he says he has the marriage license and then proof that it’s for, and.

And what, No, he was laughing. He was laughing about the idea of, of Stephan casting, the deciding vote against me. Just, you know, you’re the only one in my corner. You’re the only one I could trust.

Uncle Stephan, you at least need to think about it. And trust me, you can’t just believe everything my dad says. Well, I see the two of you have finally met. Yeah, we were. Getting to know each other. I was telling him he should watch his back when you’re around, especially if there are any knives in the room.

You’re still angry about Ava, but we’ll have to talk about that later. Gabby and I are now in endgame. Good. Hmm. And as a result, very soon, your financial future is going to be considerably brighter, so perhaps a little gratitude, maybe an order Gratitude. Sadly, I expected that reaction. Look, I know you’re upset about Ava’s, um, duplicity.

I, I am upset that she treated her like dirt dad. But in time, you’ll see I did what was best for all, including you, but mostly you, Johnny, that Batali woman was bad news from the very beginning. Turn the page and next time, perhaps find someone more age appropriate. Ste, your mother’s power of attorney is being transferred as we speak.

If you leave now, it should be waiting for us, a company headquarters. What do you say? Do you feel like giving Gabby Hernandez is a peak of her dismal future? I’d love nothing more.

It’s just so great that you are not dead anymore. Me thinking the same thing.

Well, I can see why you’re concerned and why I had to ask for confidentiality. This Sloan person is just a go between for me and my black mailer piece of dirt going after my kid and I pay it. I would, even if you did, there’s no guarantee they wouldn’t keep asking for more and still release. What, two, three days before election?

Your basic November surprise. So now that we’ve established how this situation is, so God awful, what do we do about it? So we are all good with Alex at Are we good? Less? Uh, why do you ask that? No, we just did something like really crazy. Yeah. and. I don’t know. It was, it was basically my idea. So I guess what I’m asking is did I ask too much?

Uh, I still can’t believe we did that. Well, that doesn’t answer my question. Well, you said last night that you thought that it might make us closer. I think it worked. I think so too. And you know, last night was really hot, but you know what’s hotter? Just the two of us. Sometimes three is a crowd.

And I’m in

gun. I wonder you such a crap password. This is all personal junk. Leave it to lead. I used two separate laptops. Well, this one’s good for us. Just a bunch of pictures of him and Gabby. Don’t superhero cosplay.

What I need to figure out is why you so freaked out about Stephan Amira. I think I need to get that information straight from the horse’s mouth.

Okay. What we need to do is slow down and think we need to find a way to get EJ back in this cage. I keep telling you, he’s absolutely sure he’s. And he’s so enjoying using Stephan as his hatchet man. Look, Gabby, I brought you a surprise.

All right. Sloan’s gonna get back to me at one time to meet. Okay? In the meantime, you and I can start grasping at straws being such. Why don’t you let me take this one, Jen. This is not a minor issue. No, no, no, no, no. Just temporarily. I, I, You should go see your mother. I’ll get all the preliminaries in place.

I won’t make any decisions. You think that’s Sloan? I wouldn’t surprise me. She tries to take us by surprise. Keeps off balance. Well, screw her. She’s gonna find out who she’s dealing.

What are you doing here? I’m here to tell you that you are the biggest hypocrite I have ever met.

Mama I, I got your message. You sounded terrible. Is everything okay?

God, he’s full of himself. This is for the best. Which means it’s the best for him because he is the only person in the universe,

and then slipping into kindly father mode. Find yourself someone more age appropriate.

Oh. So this is what fear smells like. Just wash it. . I told you I would come back with ammunition. I just met the man I sent to see Vivian in the lobby as we arrived. This is her power of attorney and once I handed over to the fine folks at corporate compliance, her proxy shares that defaulted to her. Upon Jake’s death will be granted to staffer.

My advice. Don’t wait for the vote to start looking for another job. I hear buddies, burger bonds hiring. Oh, maybe you could give her a reference. You know her better than any of us. Wish I didn’t . Wish I never laid eyes on. Why? Why? I don’t understand. Why are you being so mean to me? I mean, do we, Were in love.

We, we loved each other. We did you, There must be some part of you that still remembers that. No. Okay. Just look. Look at my, please. Look in my eyes. Okay. Just look at me. Because right after we, we look at each other, we. There must be something in there. Where is it? Where is it gone? Where is it?

I should have admitted it before now, but my pride, my ego wouldn’t even do it to do it. But I’m done with all that now. Now, if we never get outta here, I here anything unfinished. That’s why I’m laying it all out on the line. Line. I care for you. You get me Hernandez, and I’m done pretending. Pretending I don’t.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

You’re here about a scandal involving my daughter. That’s right. As a courtesy. Okay. . Look, Ms. Peterson. You and I both know you’re not here out of any kind of courtesy. You’re trying to stir up trouble. Well, that’s not going to work because it’s a matter of public record that Mylan killed Ray Coates. And not only do I not come back away from that, I am committed to exposing and dealing with the pandemic of domestic abuse in this country.

You can spare me the campaign rhetoric. It’s not rhetoric, and don’t try to twist my words. I don’t and never will condone vigilante justice. Yes, Christ. Look, Lonnie, she was wrong, but she owned up to it and now she’s serving time. Justice was served and that’s not our scandal. It’s, it’s a tragedy. Yeah.

Well, that’s all well and good, but I wasn’t talking about Bonnie. I’m talking about your other daughter, Chanel.

I think we should have that threesome with Alex c I hope we’re not keeping you from anything important. No, no. I was just having a cheeseburger with my brother just Will told me that Sunny is out of the hospital. Yep. He got discharged a couple hours ago. Great. So he’s He’s all good. Yeah, he’s good. He’s great.

Yeah. Well, now that we’ve established that, it’s great. That Sunny’s great. You wanna tell me why you guys called me over here? Yes. Yes. We would love to tell you why we called you over here, Chanel. How? How would you put it? Hmm. I thought you put it beautifully when you came up with the idea in the first place.

Right? Well, Right. All right. I again, um, am mind telling me what the idea is or No? Of course. Um, Chanel and I, we were wondering if maybe, um, if you were still up for it,

And I would like to take you up on your offer,

Chad. Yes, Stephanie. I have to, I have to ask you something serious. Okay. You can proceed. Um, I know you said you were trying to move on from Abigail the ass, but is this the kissing just now? Is that too soon? I think we should get outta here. We could have a nightcap at my place. That sounds perfect. The only thing is I don’t think I can drive

We either, I think I’m over. I, I,

I think this calls for a ride. I couldn’t agree with you more.

You were never married to Jake, were you? This marriage certificate is a total fraud and And we have your word for that, right? Oh, a hell of a lot more than my word. As I told you, I had a team of handwriting experts go over this document and they all conclude that Ms. Fatty signature was. But Jake’s has been forged.

You inherited that guy’s contact list. You, You could have hired a team of experts to conclude that the earth is flat. Hmm. I could, but I didn’t. Monia Renee Droy of the Cty is prepared to testify. Oh, and how’d you get him to sign on? You got his grandkids locked away in a Dara dungeon, Some. You need to be very careful.

You know, I should have known, I should have seen this coming. It’s always a warning sign when you started acting like an actual human being. You did all these supposedly nice things for just to what? Pulled a rug out from under her over some stupid signature. Oh, I assure you, Johnny, my boy, It’s over a hell of a lot more than that.

Like through the hour class. So are

all right. All right. So what’s the rest of it? You see you have more than a signature? Sadly, yes. My team of detectives were finally able to track down the person at City Hall who entered Jake and Ava’s marriage license into their system. And it was long after Jake was already dead. Ava already explained all that.

Oh, you mean the inordinately? Long time it supposedly took to process. You see, the funny thing is, All the documentation for the marriage was generated after Jake was already dead, including the application for the license. So believe me, son Jake was already lying dead in the morgue at the moment. It was so called Blessed Union with Ava.

Is this true? And were, were you married to Jake or not?

No. No, I wasn’t.

Are you sure This is. My dad stays with my mom at the hospital, so we’ve got place all know ourselves. Um, how about that? ICAP Scotch? Yeah. Okay, great. Well then sit down, make yourself at home. Take your shoes off

my offer. What was my offer? You know the thing that we talked about a time before, I mean, we talked about a lot of things before. Yeah. But the thing that you said the three of us could do together, you wanna take the drive to the Wisconsin Dells together? I mean, it’s a little bit after the season, but I heard they had indoor water slides.

Oh, really? Yeah. I did not know that. Well, they have this like climate control system. It’s supposed to feel just like. Right. But you know, I do wonder what that does to the environment. Really. I really, This is the offer that you wanted to talk about that we invited him over for a glass of wine to, to discuss and plan a trip to the Dells.

Well, maybe we should all do a duck tour. Wait, maybe they’re not ecologically sound. Yeah, I don’t think we’re talking about the Dells. It seems to me that if you can’t bring yourself to use the word threesome, then maybe you’re not quite ready for one

good offer.

Jake and I weren’t married. That is not his signature on the certificate. Mm. Think about it, Johnny let it sink in. Your uncle wasn’t even cold before. She’s brun into action. She mourned his passing by, devising away to claim his family inherit. Was it a simple ceremony, a just you, the dead groom and his stock portfolio,

So it was all just a lie? No, no. I loved Jake and he did ask me to marry him a day. As a matter of fact, on the day that he died, he, he said we could have a long engagement that he wasn’t going to pressure me. And I was just, I was insecure about Gabby, you know, I was wondering if he really was over her and he knew that, he knew I was worried about that, which is why he wanted to make the commitment.

He wanted to prove that what we had was real, so, So when I finally said yes, he just ran, He ran over to the jeweler and he got me this beautiful ring. The jeweler went ahead and threw in the wedding bands for free

So when you saw him lying that, that you just slipped it onto his finger? No, it wasn’t like that.

What was it like?

It was Gabby’s idea. And I just did what you told me to.

Okay. Look, if this is about her being bisexual, the days when that was a scandal are, thank God, long over. So I stand with my daughter as I stand with the entire LGBTQ community. So maybe, yeah, perhaps. Little scandal is that she’s now with the twin sister of the man. She’s just divorced. If you would, let me explain Ms.

Price. This has nothing to do with Chanel’s relationship with Allie Horton or her marriage to Johnny Damira. I’m not here because of who your daughter associates with. I’m here because of something she did. I have to say I’m a little taken aback why it was your idea. Hmm. No, I remember. And that it was my idea.

I’m taking it back that you remember too. It’s you plural, right? We are all on the same page here. All three of us talking about the same thing. Yes. Yes. Unless you are no longer interesting. No, no. I never said anything about me not being interested. I just remember saying that maybe we could explore other things together.

But I also remember you telling me that hell would freeze over before you took me up on it. So what made you change your mind?

Cheers. Well, what are we gonna drink to that we haven’t been drinking to all day . Um, how about. To where the night takes us. I like that. It is very to the point. Sucks in sucks ink. That’s what I said. Sucks in tined. . Succinct with a T. It means to the point. I know I’m kind of auc reductive. Red redundant.

Okay, wait, so what was our toast again? I don’t know. I forgot. Um, wait. Coming back to. To where the night takes. Yes. Cheers.

Sorry. Don’t be.

So Gabby put you up to a, Why am I not surprised? I don’t understand.

I was at the hospital. And Kayla had just told me that Jake had just died. And I asked if I could see him, if I could go into his room. And I was in there and I was trying to say goodbye. And that’s when Kathy came in two comfort, bereaved, right. Did you two good Catholic girls say the Rosary watch.

Come on,

Gabby. You told me that your father was coming and that he was, he was gonna get his hands on. Jake shares two vultures circling the caucus. I was in shock and I was grieving. Gabby wasn’t, She was calculating. No, you’re right. She was. She was calculating. She was cold hearted and she was just trying to get his money.

Remind you of anyone. AJ

Touche.

So Debbie, um, she convinced me that now that Jake was dead, that I put nothing. You’d have your memories. Would you just let her talk,

Johnny? I was scared. and I was alone and

shape wanted to marry me. It’s what he wanted. And so his , those rings were still in his pocket and I.

I slipped one on his finger and I slipped the other one on mine, and then Gabby said she’d take care of the rest. And as always, she was as good as her words.

Okay. I’m talking about an incident that happened while she was at college. Perhaps this will refresh your memory.

I think that’s a valid question, Allie. Well, Us inviting you over. It was kind of my idea. And you’re on board with that? Mm-hmm. ? Mm-hmm. , totally. It’s just Chanel and I recently, we’ve been, I don’t know, we’ve just been going through a rough patch and we feel like we’re being bombarded by all of this outside stuff, and it’s leaving us feeling less close, less connected than we wanna be.

And you. , maybe bringing somebody else into the mix might fix things. I think that we thought of it more as an, an adventure, something exciting that we could share. Right. Yeah. Really it’s, it’s not so much about the other person, really. Not at all, but more so about the two of us sharing something together.

not about the other person at all. Noted. And that is flattering. Okay. Not about the other person emotionally. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And look, when you first brought this up, which was what the, like first time we met you, hey, Aw, we just thought that you were in it for a good time. Mm. Yeah. And we, we wouldn’t wanna try it with anyone who might think of it as something more.

Yeah. So that’s why we thought of, Ooh, because I’m so shallow. Well, how would that be? The save of the moment? Oh, that’s better. Thank you. And hey, you’re single, so there’s no one that would get jealous unless there’s something going on between you and Stephanie.

I’m sorry.

Let’s cut on my bracelet. Sorry. Okay. Okay. Yeah.

Okay. I can’t do this.

I’m sorry.

What do you want, Ms. Peterson? It’s not what I want. As I said, I’m here on behalf of my client. This is obviously about what they want, and that is, I’m sure you’ve realized that if the contents in this file were to become public, your campaign would be over and you would’ve absolutely no chance of becoming governor.

So $24,000 question. Who’s your client? That’s not something you need to know. I’m here to act as a facilitator. Perhaps some kind of arrangement could be made. What kind of an arrangement? I believe a financial one would work. So financial arrangement turns out to be a euphemism for black male. Tomato.

Tomato. Tell me Ms. Peterson. What’s that? I like down there at the bottom of the barrel. Me and Stephanie. We know she told you you didn’t have a chance with her. What if that’s changed? No, nothing’s changed, especially after what I just saw. I went by Julie’s place. Mm-hmm. . And I saw the Ice Princess Stephanie pretty much sitting on Chad Dara’s lap.

So since it looks like she and Chad are gonna make a night of it,

if you too want to take me up on my offer, I say hell yeah. To do it.

I’m sorry. Uh, I, I don’t, I wanted to come here and now, uh, now I can’t go through there. No, it’s okay. Uh, no it’s not. I’m. I’m sorry. I hope you, I hope you understand that it has absolutely nothing to do with you. In fact, I really enjoy hanging out with you. I was really great. I just can’t do it. It’s okay.

We, we both are in really bad places right now. You’re missing your wife and I’m worried about my mom and Chad. Spending time with you was great for me too, but I, I don’t wanna just have sex with you to forget that I’m scared outta my mind about my mom. Okay, so then we just filing under a very bad idea.

Agreed.

Well, Gabby certainly did take care of everything, didn’t she? To both your mutual benefits. Look, I can’t defend what I did, but if I was going to have any second thoughts, EJ shut them down. As soon as he showed up at the hospital, he went full ceo. He wasn’t there to say goodbye to his brother. He was there to proclaim that he, EJ Jamara was, was in charge, right?

He he was. He was next of kin. He was head of the family executor of the will. He was in charge. But you were there ahead of me, weren’t you? And even then, you had to know that you couldn’t keep up this scam forever, that the truth would finally catch up with you. And today is that day.

Yeah, you’re right aj. It is time I paid the piper.

I am sorry that I lied.

I don’t care. It doesn’t matter to me. Doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter that she used your uncle’s death to steal what didn’t belong to her. Oh, you shut up. She hasn’t done anything close to the crap you’ve pulled and says, So what? Well, why shouldn’t she get some Jake’s money? The Deras have more money than they know what to do with the damir is due.

Not you, . Oh, well thank you. Thank you father for reminding me.

Look, I could see how upset you were about my uncle Jake. I could see how much you loved him. So, so you let me believe that you married him. You never lied me about anything else. And that in this house is a very rare thing, but as we all know, all good things must come to an end. What are you doing? If you think I’m doing?

I’m calling the cost. I have to know where to start, Why a fraud, identity fraud, corporate fraud. Oh, I will also need to check out if you filed on, uh, Jake’s Life Insurance. Anywhere you look at is if you’ll be going away for a very long. So I’m gonna get the ball rolling on this show. No. Okay. No,

I don’t like being threatened. Ms. Peterson, I’m not threatening you. I’m simply explaining to you your options. You can just check your options and just shove them where the sun don’t shine. If the voters can’t understand that my daughter’s actions don’t reflect on my own, then hey, you know, perhaps I am not the right candidate for the office.

Well, I did enjoy your profiles and courage moment, but this just isn’t about you think what could happen to Chanel and her freedom should this information become public?

To one of the best nights of our lives, Jeff. Cheers. Hm. Whoa,

one of the best nights of our lives. Trust me, I think this is going to be incredible, which means it’s gonna have to be repeated. Mm-hmm. , Oh, you are pretty sure of yourself, aren’t you? I didn’t necessarily mean repeated with me, but once you do this once, you don’t wanna do it again. Oh, so you’ve done this before?

Millions of times. All right. Twice. Twice. But it was amazing both times and I got a feeling this time is going to be even better.

So how do we start?

Is that okay? It was definitely okay.

Dad, don’t do this. Look, Ava went. She made a mistake. She was grieving and she did something stupid. Son do. You can’t get emotional about things like this. Look, I know that you care about now you like to call me son? Yeah, you like to call me son. You like to tell me how much you love me? Well, if you love me as much as you say you do, you will put that phone it.

Five. I won’t send her to prison. Thank you. As long as she leaves Salem immediately and never returns,

you can’t be serious. I’m deadly serious. Your bags are in the foyer. I told Harold not to unpack and knew you wouldn’t be.

This is, this is ridiculous. Like you don’t have the right to just, just send her away. It’s okay, Johnny. I’ll go.

Well, I’ll leave the boat with you to say goodbye and I mean, goodbye. Ava. Not a rivere.

Need to keep this in a spot.

Chanel’s Freedom. That doesn’t exactly look legal, does it? You might wanna take a closer look at. Don’t worry. I’ve made copies of it all, so I’m happy to leave this here with you. Why don’t you take the night to think about it and then get back to me. Okay.

I should call a. Jack’s watching the kids. I should probably make sure my kids haven’t torn the house apart. Good idea,

Chad. I I was just thinking that it’s probably best that we didn’t sleep together on the very first day I hired you. Yeah. Are we okay? Are you kidding? We got all the awkwardness outta the way tonight. There’s nowhere to go but up. Okay.

We’ll see how work tomorrow. See you tomorrow.

Kiss me.

It’s love, love, love.

It’s love, love, love. It’s love, love, love.

Is that all you have to say?

That was hot. Yeah, it was. And I’m dehydrated. I need a drink. You need a drink?

Round two. Oh,

you okay? Oh, I am better than, Okay. How?

I love,

I love.

Tell mom I love her and dad try to get some sleep.

Stephanie Polina Price. Call me as soon as you get this. I need to see you as soon as possible. We’ve got a big problem.

Paper. No. Hey, this is crazy. My dad can’t just drive you out of town. He’s not the sheriff of Salem. No, but he won’t have any problem talking to the police commissioner. It’s not exactly my biggest fan look. Besides there’s, there’s nothing left from me here.

Almost. That’s, Look, I’m so sorry that we’ll never know what could have been. Maybe I should come with you.

It’s sweet of you though. But it’s best that we part ways here.

I love nothing but like memories.

Well, I see the vis sled off to find a new Nest . I bet you’re pretty pleased with yourself, but I will make you pay for this if it’s the last thing I.

Johnny argues that EJ could’ve hired a team to conclude that. EJ notes that he has one prepared to testify which Johnny mocks. EJ warns him to be careful. Johnny says he should’ve known because it’s always a warning sign when EJ starts acting like a human being. Johnny asks if EJ did all this just to pull the rug out from under Ava over a stupid signature. EJ responds that it’s over a hell of a lot more than that. Johnny asks what the rest of it is then. EJ informs him that his team of detectives finally tracked down the person at City Hall who entered the marriage in to the system and it was long after Jake’s passing. Johnny argues that Ava already explained that. EJ says the funny thing is all the documents were generated after Jake was already dead, including the application for the license.

Johnny then turns to Ava and asks if this is true as he questions if she was married to Jake or not. Ava then admits that she was not married to Jake.

EJ tells Johnny to think about it and let it sink in that Jake wasn’t even cold before she sprung in to action. EJ adds that Ava mourned Jake’s passing by devising a way to steal his family inheritance. Johnny questions it all being a lie. Ava assures that she loved Jake and he did ask her to marry him on the day that he died. Ava says Jake wanted to prove what they had was real so when she finally said yes, he got her the beautiful ring and the wedding bands. EJ asks if Ava set this up while seeing Jake lying there dead. Johnny asks Ava what it was like then. Ava then reveals that it was Gabi’s idea and she just did what Gabi told her to do.

Paulina asks Sloan if this is about Chanel being bisexual and says the days of that being a scandal are long over. Sloan assures it has nothing to do with Chanel’s relationship with Allie or her marriage to Johnny and she’s not here because of who Chanel associates with, but because of something she did.

Alex admits he’s a little taken aback. Chanel asks why since it was his idea. Alex asks if they are all on the same page. Allie assures unless he’s no longer interested. Alex remembers saying they could explore other things together but they told him that Hell would freeze over before they took him up on it, so he questions what made them change their mind.

Stephanie and Chad have another drink together and toast to where the night takes them. Chad says he’s sorry but Stephanie tells him not to be as they continue kissing.

EJ remarks that he’s not surprised that Gabi put Ava up to it. Johnny doesn’t understand. Ava explains that she was at the hospital and Kayla had just told her that Jake had died, so she went to try and say goodbye which is when Gabi came in. Johnny tells her to go on. Ava says that Gabi told her that EJ was coming to get his hands on Jake’s shares. EJ calls them vultures. Ava argues that she was in shock and grieving while EJ points out that Gabi wasn’t as she was calculating. Ava agrees that Gabi was cold-hearted and just trying to get Jake’s money, remarking that it reminds her of EJ. Ava adds that Gabi convinced her as she was scared and alone. Ava says that Jake wanted to marry her and the rings were in his pocket so she put them on their fingers, then Gabi said she would take care of the rest.

Sloan reveals to Paulina that she’s talking about an incident that happened while Chanel was in college. Sloan presents a folder to refresh her memory.

Chanel asks Allie what changed her mind. Allie admits it was kind of her idea and Chanel confirms that she’s totally on board with it. Allie says they have recently been going through a rough patch and have been bombarded by outside stuff that has left them feeling less close. Alex questions bringing someone else in to the mix being what might fix things. Chanel calls it an adventure or something exciting that they could share. Allie says it’s not about the other person but about them sharing something together. Alex jokes that’s not as flattering. Allie brings up that Alex first brought that up when they first met and she thought he was just wanted a good time. Chanel adds that they wouldn’t want to try it with someone who might want something more. Allie says that’s why they decided on him. Alex questions it being because he’s so shallow. Allie points out that Alex is also single so there’s no one to get jealous. Chanel adds that is unless he has something going on with Stephanie.

Chad and Stephanie kiss and begin to undress until Chad stops and says he’s sorry but he can’t do this.

Paulina asks what Sloan wants. Sloan says it’s not what she wants but about what her client was. Sloan adds that if the contents of this file become public, Paulina’s campaign would be over and she’d have absolutely no chance of becoming Governor. Paulina asks who her client is. Sloan says she doesn’t need to know that and offers to make a financial arrangement. Paulina accuses her of blackmail and questions what it’s like at the bottom of the barrel.

Chanel and Allie ask if anything has changed with Alex and Stephanie. Alex assures that nothing has changed, especially after he just went to Julie’s Place and saw Stephanie practically on Chad’s lap. Alex says it looks like Chad and Stephanie are going to make a night of it, so if they want to take him up on his offer, he says hell yeah to doing it.

Chad apologizes to Stephanie and says he wanted to come but now he can’t go through with it. Stephanie says it’s okay. Chad hopes she understands it has absolutely nothing to do with her as he really enjoyed hanging out with her but he just can’t do it. Stephanie understands they are both in bad places as Chad is missing Abigail and she’s worried about Kayla. Stephanie says being with Chad is great but she also doesn’t want to have sex just to forget being scared about her mom. They agree that it was a very bad idea.

EJ remarks that Gabi sure did take care of everything to her and Ava’s benefit. Ava says she can’t defend what she did but if she was going to have second thoughts, that went away when EJ showed up at the hospital ready to be CEO and proclaim that he was in charge. EJ points out that Ava was there ahead of him but she had to know that she couldn’t keep up this scam forever and that the truth would finally catch up to her. EJ declares that today is that day. Ava agrees that it’s time she pays the piper. Ava apologizes to Johnny for lying to him. Johnny responds that he doesn’t care as it doesn’t matter to him. EJ questions that as Johnny tells him to shut up and argues that Ava hasn’t done anything close to what EJ has pulled. Johnny asks why Ava shouldn’t get some of Jake’s money since the DiMeras have so much. Johnny says he could see how upset Ava was about Jake and how much she loved him. Johnny adds that Ava let him believe that she was married to Jake but never lied about anything else which is a rare thing in this house. EJ remarks that all good things must come to an end. EJ then announces he is calling the cops about Ava’s identity fraud and corporate fraud, so she will be going away for a very long time. Johnny stops EJ and tells him no.

Paulina tells Sloan that she doesn’t like being threatened. Sloan claims she isn’t threatening her and is just explaining her options. Paulina tells her to take her options and shove them where the sun don’t shine. Paulina declares that if the voters can’t understand that her daughter’s actions don’t reflect her then maybe she is not the right candidate for the job. Sloan adds that this isn’t just about her and warns her about what could happen to Chanel and her freedom if this information becomes public.

Alex, Chanel, and Allie drink shots and toast to one of the best nights of their lives. Alex thinks this will be incredible which means it will have to be repeated. Alex says that once they do this once, they’re going to want to do it again. Chanel asks how they start. Alex then kisses Chanel and then kisses Allie. Alex asks if that was okay which they both say it was. Allie and Chanel the begin kissing each other.

Johnny tells EJ not to do this as Ava made a mistake while she was grieving. EJ tells him not to get emotional about this. Johnny declares that if EJ loves him, he will put the phone down. EJ then agrees not to send Ava to prison but only if she leaves Salem immediately and never returns. EJ adds that Ava’s bags are in the foyer because he told Harold not to unpack them since he knew she wouldn’t be staying. Johnny calls this ridiculous and says EJ doesn’t have the right to just send her away. Ava says it’s okay and agrees to go. EJ decides to let them say goodbye as he then exits the room.

Paulina questions Sloan bringing up Chanel’s freedom. Sloan points out that it’s not exactly legal and advises her to take a closer look at the folder and leaves the copy with her. Sloan suggests she take the night to think about it and then get back to her as she then exits.

Chad decides to call another ride since Jack is watching the kids and he should check on them. Stephanie decides it’s probably best that they didn’t sleep together on the day she hired him. Chad asks if they are okay. Stephanie assures they got all the awkwardness out tonight so there is nowhere to go but up. Chad says he’ll see her at work tomorrow then and they shake hands as Chad then exits.

Allie and Chanel take Alex to the bedroom. Allie and Chanel kiss, then Alex kisses Chanel as they remove Alex’s clothes and the three of them continue their threesome, kissing on the bed. After they finish, they lay in bed as Alex says that was hot and he’s dehydrated. Alex gets up to go get drinks and calls for round two. Allie asks if Chanel is okay. Chanel says she’s better than okay. Allie tells Chanel that she loves her and Chanel says she loves her too.

Chad returns home to the Horton House and sees the photo of Abigail on the mantle.

Stephanie talks to Steve on the phone and says to tell Kayla she loves her and advises him to try to sleep as she hangs up. Stephanie then puts her phone down and misses a call from Paulina.

Paulina leaves a message for Stephanie to call her because she needs to see her as soon as possible since they have a big problem.

Johnny tells Ava that this is crazy and that EJ can’t just drive her out of town. Ava worries that EJ won’t have any problem talking to the police commissioner, who isn’t her biggest fan. Ava states that there’s almost nothing left for her here anyways. Ava is sorry they’ll never find out what could’ve been. Johnny suggests he go with her. Ava says that’s sweet of him but it’s best that they part ways here with nothing but good memories. Ava kisses Johnny on the cheek and then exits the DiMera Mansion with her bags packed. EJ comes downstairs and remarks that Ava has slithered off to find a new nest. Johnny bets he’s pretty pleased but vows to make EJ pay for this if it’s the last thing he does.

Update written by Joseph

Ava joins Johnny at the door of the DiMera Mansion which EJ calls a surprise. Johnny asks why since he invited them both to move back in. Ava asks if EJ is excited to welcome his son and his sister in law back.

Sonny lays on the couch in the living room of the Kiriakis Mansion, talking to Will on the phone. Sonny says he just wanted to make sure he made his flight and tells him that as soon as Sarah gives him the green light, he will come visit and they can video chat tonight. Alex walks in and pours himself a drink. Sonny tells Will that he misses him already and he loves him as he hangs up. Alex asks about Will heading back to LA. Sonny sarcastically tells him that he’s off to Minnesota instead. Alex jokes about him making fun of him and says that means Sonny is on the fast track to recovery and that their truce is over.

Chad and Stephanie continue working outside of Julie’s Place. Stephanie asks how Chad is liking his first day on the job. Chad jokes that watching her work is exhausting. Stephanie puts over everything they accomplished and says she couldn’t have done it without his help as they shake hands.

Chanel questions if Allie really just said she thinks they should have a threesome with Alex Kiriakis. Allie confirms that she did. Chanel asks where this is coming from and how long she’s been thinking about this. Allie says it’s just been a while. Chanel says she had to know she would have questions about her springing this on her. Allie doesn’t think she’s springing it on her since they talked about it. Chanel said it was a joke because Alex wouldn’t stop trying to get in their drawers but Allie asks if it would really be so bad if he did.

Sonny apologizes to Alex for snapping and talks about almost dying, losing everything he cares about, and then Will has to leave so quickly. Sonny admits the separation makes it harder even though it’s temporary. Alex says he’s sorry. Alex tells Sonny that he and Will are lucky to have each other and are obviously really good at relationships which is why he hoped maybe Sonny could give him some advice about his love life.

Stephanie thinks DiMera Enterprises will rue the day they forced Chad out since their loss is her gain. Chad calls her a great teacher. Stephanie praises him as having great ideas. Stephanie knows they agreed he’d only work through the election but she might try to change his mind. Stephanie suggests they celebrate his first day with a bottle of champagne on the company. Chad agrees and jokes if that’s a perk then he might be in.

EJ tells Johnny and Ava that he’s delighted to have them both back where they belong and he’s only surprised because he didn’t hear from either of them about the offer. EJ says he’s glad they accepted and invites them in. EJ suggests they go have a drink while Harold gets the room ready. Ava clarifies that they will need two rooms because she and Johnny won’t be sharing.

Abe joins Paulina in her office which is filled with Vote for Paulina posters. Paulina says she thinks that lighting a fire under Stephanie worked after her progress report. Paulina hopes that Stephanie will take her advice about bringing Chad DiMera on board.

Chad and Stephanie finish their first bottle of champagne. Chad says he’ll have to get another bottle and asks what his official job title is. Stephanie admits they haven’t figured that out. Stephanie gets a text from Tripp and tells Chad that Tripp and Joey are texting every hour asking about Kayla. Stephanie wishes Kayla would let her tell them how sick she is. Chad guesses she figures it would be too hard on them, being too far away. Stephanie remarks that it’s no picnic being close by either. Chad says he’s sorry.

Alex tells Sonny that after Victor had he and Stephanie start working together, he thought they might be getting somewhere but then nothing ever happened and as soon as the meetings are done, she’s gone. Sonny argues that Alex is obsessed with Stephanie which is a turn off for her and not healthy for him. Alex complains that he doesn’t need a shrink, he needs him to help get through to her. Sonny advises Alex to stop trying and get over his obsession. Sonny tells Alex to accept that Stephanie is not interested in him, dislikes him, and wants him to leave her alone. Alex argues that he has to fix this and do something because he was a jerk to her at the hospital. Sonny asks what the big deal is since she already thought he was a jerk anyway. Alex says he didn’t know Stephanie’s mom was sick and he was on his high horse, so now he has to make up for it.

Chanel sits with Allie and questions her suddenly being fine with a threesome and asks if this has anything to do with Johnny. Allie says no and questions what her brother has to do with this. Chanel says they have been fighting about him and then she mentioned running in to him and now all of a sudden, she mentions a threesome. Chanel asks if Allie is still worried about her past with Johnny and if she thinks a threesome will solve that.

EJ acknowledges having a bad reaction when he found out about Ava and Johnny’s relationship but he got used to the idea, so he questions the pretense of separate rooms. Johnny says it’s not a pretense. EJ says it’s alright as the family has a history of unusual couples. EJ goes over how Gabi has worked herself through most of the men in the family other than himself and Tony, Kate was married to both Stefano and Andre, and Andre once married Kristen while pretending to be Tony. Johnny takes it as him making fun of them but EJ says he’s not and that their incestuous relationship is par for the course. Johnny then informs EJ that he and Ava are not sleeping together. EJ asks if that’s right. Ava confirms that they are friends and that’s it.

Alex asks Sonny what if he sends Stephanie flowers. Sonny tells him that it wouldn’t work, reminding him that Stephanie doesn’t date men that she works with. Alex insists it’s more saying I’m sorry than saying he wants to sleep with her. Alex decides flowers are out then and then says he’s got it. Alex declares that Stephanie’s issue is not wanting to date someone she works with. Sonny points out that she hated him before they started working together and she’s not in to him. Alex insists that he has the perfect solution. Alex repeats that Stephanie doesn’t want to date him because they work together, so he will fire her.

Stephanie apologizes to Chad for stopping their celebration. Chad understands she’s worried about her mom around the clock, so she shouldn’t be sorry for taking time for her own life. Stephanie worries about Kayla not getting better. Chad encourages that so many people at the hospital will be fighting for her and will pull her through this. Stephanie wishes she had his faith. Stephanie recalls when she was a little girl and she was told her dad was dead and believed it for years. Chad guesses it must have felt like a miracle when he came home. Stephanie confirms it did but all those years before that, her mom was her rock and her world was okay because she had her. Stephanie cries that she just can’t lose her.

Paulina makes Abe a drink. Abe says he could definitely use it as he’s had better days. Abe informs Paulina that he spoke to John this morning and Marlena is seriously sick, so John is really worried about her. Paulina recalls Chad telling her that Kayla is so sick, so she asks if there’s a bad bug going around. Abe wishes it was that simple but John said Marlena, Kayla, and Kate can all blame Orpheus for what ails them.

EJ doesn’t understand. Ava repeats that she and Johnny are friends and that’s it. EJ questions finding them in bed together. Johnny insists that nothing happened. EJ thought that was only because he interrupted them. Ava tells EJ that sometimes things happen that don’t revolve around him and reveals she’s the one who put the brakes on it. Ava reminds EJ that she recently lost her husband, so she’s not ready to move on with anyone just yet. Ava tells EJ to forget about adding her and Johnny to the twisted DiMera family history.

Allie questions Chanel really thinking she would suggest they hook up with Alex because she’s still scared of her being interested in Johnny. Chanel says that isn’t what she said but she’s really confused. Allie just thought this was something they could try together. Allie talks about Chanel being very open about being sexually fluid while she is bi. Allie states that they are both attracted to men. Chanel questions if Allie is saying that she misses having sex with men. Allie assures that she doesn’t and it’s not about missing anything. Allie just thinks it could be fun. Chanel says she’s learned with her that she can be happy in a loving relationship and she thought Allie was too. Allie says she is. Chanel asks if she’s sure. Allie says she is sure and she doesn’t want to cheapen what they have, she just thinks this is something they could share as a couple. Chanel questions bringing a guy like Alex in to their relationship. Allie says not in to their relationship, just in to their bed. Allie clarifies that this is just about sex with no feelings which is why Alex would be perfect because there is no way either of them would ever fall for him.

Sonny tells Alex that he can’t terminate Stephanie’s contract just because he wants to date her. Alex asks why not. Sonny complains that it’s textbook sexual harassment and calls him a dumbass. Sonny knows this is new to him to have someone not be attracted to him. Alex responds that it happened before in third grade and still hurts. Sonny says he gives up as this is pointless. Sonny suggests they treat this like a growing experience and accept the fact that a hard no does not mean maybe. Alex says he does hear where he’s coming from and maybe he’s right that firing Stephanie would be wrong on many levels, so he will quit. Sonny tells him that another CEO change would make Titan look as unstable as DiMera while Victor is very happy with the job he’s doing so he can’t quit. Alex asks what about his feelings for Stephanie then. Sonny grabs him and questions what part of this he did not hear. Sonny orders Alex to get over this obsession and back off. Alex says he gets that he needs to find a way to get it under control. Sonny encourages that he will as he’s just feeling rejected right now. Sonny notes that he’s feeling lonely and suggests they soothe their aching hearts by getting something to eat. Alex decides he will go get them chili dogs from Julie’s Place and exits the mansion.

EJ admits it was wrong of him to jump to the conclusion that Ava and Johnny were having an affair. Johnny agrees but he can’t believe EJ is apologizing. EJ adds that he mistook Johnny’s kindness to Ava. Ava calls that what EJ does, being nice to a grieving woman to get what he wants. EJ admits he also misunderstood Johnny’s intentions when he said he would move out if he forced Ava out when he should’ve known Johnny would never take advantage of a woman in Ava’s situation. Ava asks what he means. EJ says they both know how much Ava treasured her marriage to Jake.

Paulina asks Abe if trying to blow up Marlena, Kate, and Kayla wasn’t enough for Orpheus that he made them sick. Abe confirms that he infected them with a toxin. Abe talks about how Orpheus seems determined to kill the partners of his three greatest enemies. Paulina says they must be losing their minds. Abe knows he would be if she was sick. Paulina wants to go to the hospital to check on them. Abe says that the hospital is only allowing close family to visit while Kate checked herself out. Paulina jokes about Roman having to live with a woman so stubborn. Abe suggests they go see if they can do anything for them, but Sloan Peterson enters the office. Abe asks what she wants. Sloan responds that she’s here to see Paulina.

Chad tells Stephanie that he does have some idea what she’s going through. Chad talks about Kate always being there for him since his mom died and how she’s closer to him than EJ or Tony, so he’s scared for her now. Stephanie knows he’s still grieving Abigail too. Chad tells Stephanie that this job came around at just the righ time. Stephanie says it did for her too. She puts her hand on Chad’s right as Alex arrives and sees them together. Stephanie asks Chad how he’s been coping. Chad says he told himself that he’d feel better when they caught the killer, like it would bring closure, but it didn’t work out that way. Chad says that gave him a job and purpose but now he just feels lost until Stephanie threw him a lifeline, so he thanks her.

EJ tells Johnny and Ava that he will go down to the wine cellar and get a special bottle for this occasion. Ava jokes with him not to get locked in the secret room she’s heard about. EJ tells her not to believe everything she hears and heads down to the cellar. Ava asks Johnny if he’s buying the friendliness from EJ. Johnny responds that he knows EJ doesn’t do anything unless there’s something in it for him. Ava says that’s what she’s worried about but Johnny assures that he has her back.

Chanel tells Allie that she’s still a little thrown by this whole thing. Allie thinks she’s worrying too much. Chanel worries that Allie isn’t giving this much thought. Allie calls it just sex. Allie then admits that the thought of Chanel and Johnny still bothers her, but Johnny is not the reason that she thinks they should be with Alex. Allie recalls how much she enjoyed being with Tripp. Allie says she and Chanel have always been in to each other but also had amazing chemistry with the men in their lives, so she didn’t want them to miss that while ruining what they have. Chanel questions her thinking Alex is the one to do it with. Allie says it might be fun to figure out.

Paulina questions Sloan and Abe knowing each other. Abe responds that Sloan is thriving as a defense attorney but calls her an ambulance chaser and asks what she wants with his wife. Sloan brings up Paulina running for Governor and says she wants to speak to her privately. Paulina tells Abe to go ahead to the Pub without her and she will handle this. Paulina sends her love to Roman and Kate. Abe warns Sloan to be careful because Paulina has friends in high places. Abe then exits. Paulina asks Sloan what this is about. Sloan says she’ll get right to the point. Sloan reveals that she represents a client who is in possession of certain information that could end Paulina’s political career before it begins.

Stephanie tells Chad that she is the one who needed rescuing as if Chad didn’t walk in when he did, Paulina would have canned her and tried to ruin her career. Chad thinks she’s giving him too much credit as he was just following her lead. Chad admits this was just a distraction as he had just come from Abigail’s grave. Chad talks about imagining seeing Abigail there. Stephanie calls it so sad. Chad mentions his vision of Abigail telling him to move on with his life if only it were that easy.

Chanel tells Allie that before they take this any further, she has to make it clear that being fluid doesn’t mean that she’s always missing men. Chanel assures that she’s in a happy relationship with the woman she loves. Allie responds that she feels exactly the same way about her. Chanel asks what they do next if she says yes and how they will make it happen.

Alex returns to the Kiriakis Mansion with food from the Brady Pub for Sonny. Sonny thought he was going to Julie’s Place. Alex claims they were out of chili dogs so he just went by the Pub and got burgers and fries. Sonny says that sounds great but notes Alex’s mood and asks if he’s okay. Alex claims he is and that he’ll go get beers from the kitchen. Alex then gets stopped by a text from Allie and Chanel, asking him to come over.

Johnny tells Ava that he totally gets why she put the brakes on their relationship but he still thinks they’d be great together. Johnny tells her to take all the time she needs to grieve Jake, but if and when she’s ready, he’s here. Ava calls that good to know. EJ returns with wine and a present for Ava. EJ gives Johnny the wine to go get it opened. Ava opens her present from EJ and it’s her marriage license. EJ says he had it framed for her and decided to present it to her now that she moved in. EJ adds that the one problem is that is not Jake’s signature.

Paulina tells Sloan that Abe was right that she’s a damn ambulance chaser. Paulina tells her to think again if she’s expecting a hush money payoff because all of her dirty laundry has been aired out. Paulina tells Sloan that she can see herself out. Sloan then reveals that she wasn’t talking about Paulina, but about her daughter.

Chanel tells Allie that she can’t believe they are really doing this. Allie points out that they won’t be doing much of anything until Alex shows up. Chanel asks if it would be that terrible if he didn’t show up. Allie thought Chanel was up for this. Chanel assures that she is as Alex then arrives. They answer the door and thank him for coming as he asks what’s up.

Stephanie encourages Chad to give himself time. Chad says time hasn’t been working out for him which she questions. Chad says he put his recovery on fast forward. Chad thinks Abigail was telling him to be with somebody else, somebody he already likes a lot. Chad and Stephanie then start kissing.

Ava questions EJ starting this nonsense again with trying to prove her marriage to Jake wasn’t real. Johnny questions what EJ is trying to pull and insists it has to be Jake’s signature. EJ reveals he hired a team of handwriting experts to compare Jake’s signatures and they confirmed it had been forged. Johnny asks if EJ is lying. EJ responds that it’s his friend Ava who has been lying and said she had been married to get her hands on Jake’s shares of DiMera Enterprises. EJ declares that Ava may be a grifter and a con artist, but she is not a DiMera.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Ava, this is a surprise why you invited us both to move back in. Yeah, that’s the problem. Aj, aren’t you excited to welcome your son and your sister-in-law back?

Hi. I just wanted to make sure you made your flight on time. Okay, Deb, and just so you know, okay. As soon as Sarah gives me the green light, I’m gonna come visit you. Okay? And you and me and Ari, we can video chat tonight. Come miss you already

a few more. Okay, bye.

So Will is headed back to la huh? Uh, no, Alex, he’s headed to Minnesota to judge St. OL’s annual Yodeling contest. . So now you’re channeling the Golden Girls to make fun of me. Hmm. Good. So that means you’re on the fast track to recovery and also means that our truth is over. Okay.

And send. How are you liking your first day at SJ P? Watching you work is exhausting. Come on. You did a lot. We sent out email blasts to everyone on the distribution list. We came up with a strategy for undecided voters confirmed that those freaking mailers were finally sent out, and we set up a major press conference for Paulina.

Yep, you’re right. Very impressive. And I couldn’t have done it without your help. Put her there. Partner

Are you leaving? No, I’m just, I’m just checking to make sure I didn’t walk into the wrong apartment by a mistake. Okay. Shut the door. No.

Did you really just say that you think we should have a threesome with Alexus? Yeah, I did

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

So, where is this coming from? How long have you been thinking about us sleeping with Alex? Um, a while, I guess. Okay. How long is a while? A week. A month. Ever since he first asked us at the bar. I don’t know. It’s not like I wrote it in my calendar. Okay. Don’t get mad. You had to know I was gonna have some questions.

You just sprung this on me outta nowhere. I don’t feel like I’m spraying this on you. We talked about this, Uh, yeah, as a joke, because Alex wouldn’t stop trying to get in our drawers. Okay. I know, I know. But would it really be so bad if he did?

Look, I’m sorry. Okay. You’re right. I shouldn’t have snapped like that. It’s.

It’s a little bit frustrating, you know, almost, almost dying, losing everything that I care about and then Will has to just leave so quickly. I know, it’s just, it’s making it harder, this separation, even though I know it’s temporary. Hmm. Well I really am sorry that you couldn’t beat that with him. Yeah, me too.

You got lucky guy, son, you and Will. You got each other. You got Ari. You’re obviously really good at relationships, which is actually why I was kind of hoping. Hoping what? Maybe you could give me a little Sage Jackson CCU advice caught about. I love life. I think Tamara Enterprises is going to ruin the day they forced you out.

Their lost is definitely my game. Oh, you’re a good teacher. Don’t be so modest. Have great ideas and um, I know our deal was that you were only gonna work here until the election, but I might be trying to change your mind about that. Okay. We’ll see about that. Fair. Why don’t we celebrate your first day with a bottle of champagne on the company?

Okay? If that’s a per for for us J then I might be in.

Oh, I’m delighted to have the both of you here where you belong. If I seem surprised it was only because I didn’t hear from either of you about, uh, my offer. Yeah. I just decided why not? Well, I’m glad you said. Please come in. Please.

We’ll leave your bags there. We’ll, uh, go have a drink and we’ll have Harold over see, uh, getting the room ready. Okay. Wait that up so fast. Um, please ask Harold to get two rooms ready because Johnny and I won’t be sharing.

Now this is more like it. Wow, someone sounds very happy. . Oh, I’m always happy to see you. Find black Behind. Walking Through My Door.

Oh, uh, you. I don’t know what has made you so happy, but whatever it is, they should bottle it and sell it. I know I was a little down at breakfast. Yeah. Well, you know you shouldn’t give all those morning polls. You, You just announced that you were running when you got here. I was reading over the Progress reporter and our campaigns outreach.

Boy, that’s too Mickey, please. . That is an understatement. I had to light a fire under Stephanie Johnson, but I think it worked. This progress report is so my money . It’s like she read my mind. Well, I’m glad to hear that. Mm-hmm. So it, my, so I, I would’ve hated kicking Steven Kill’s daughter to the curb.

I’m hoping, I’m hoping that Stephanie will take my advice about bringing Chad Jamira on board. That man, he seems to have a lot on the ball.

Oh. Looks like you could use the top off. Mm. Thank you kindly. Oh, you’re welcome, kindly. Uh oh. Oh no. Okay. I gotta go grab another bottle. . Fair boy. Can’t let the boss ladies glass get empty. Will you cut that out? You are much more than an errand boy. Okay. Yeah. Then what is my, uh, official title here at SJ p r?

Well, SJ hasn’t figured that out yet.

No, don’t tell me. Pollina is sending notes about the stuff you just said there. What? It’s my brother trip. He and Joey are texting me every hour on the hour about mom. I wish she would just let me tell them how sick she is. Wow. Maybe, um, maybe she figures that it would be too hard on them. Since they’re so far away.

It’s no, no picnic being close by either. Yeah. I’m sorry. Thanks. After old Uncle Vic had, Stephanie and I start working together. I thought maybe we’d be getting somewhere. You know, we joked around, caught her checking me out a couple times, stuff like that. But then nothing ever happened. Soon as the meeting is done, she was gone.

But this is what I’m talking about, man. You’re totally obsessed with her, which is not only a turnoff for her, it’s not very healthy for you. Oh yeah, good thing. I don’t need a shrink. I need you to help me get through to her. Then have you ever just tried doing nothing? Have you ever just tried? Stop trying.

That’s your sage advice. Yes. Yes it is. Look, you need to get over this obsession and accept the fact that this woman is just not interested in you. Not only she not interested in you, but from what you tell me, she actively dislikes you and wants you to leave her the hell alone. And Uncle Vic thinks that you’re the smart one son.

I just told you I have to fix this. I have to do something. I told you that I was a jerk to her when I saw her at the hospital. Tina, with what’s the big deal? She already thought you were a jerk. Anyway, the big deal is that her mother was sick and I had no idea. There I was acting on my high horse like an ass, and now I have to do something to make up for it.

Okay? I have to ask you something. All right, So if you’re suddenly fine with this, , Does this have anything to do with Johnny? Ew. What? No. What? Okay. No. What does my brother have to do with this? Well, it’s because we’ve been fighting about him, and then I’d mentioned that I’d run into him, and then all of a sudden you’re talking about a threesome.

Is that what this is about? Because you’re still worried about my pass with Johnny, and you think that a threesome will solve that.

I know I had a bad reaction when I became aware of your relationship. Oh, you might say that, but I got used to the idea, so it seems a bit sophomore to keep up the pretense of separate rules. Yeah. It’s not a pretest. It’s all right. John. This family has a history of unusual couples. Gabby has diligently worked her way through most of the men in this family.

I think Tony and I are the only ones left standing. Kate was married to both father and Andre and Andre once married Kristen while pretending to be Tony. Okay. Okay. Yes. You’re making fun of us. It’s very funny. I’m not, I’m telling you that your May, December quasi incestuous involvement is part for the court shade of that, that Ava and I are not sleeping together and that’s not gonna change.

Is that right? Johnny and I are friends. That’s it.

What if I just played old school, Send her flowers wouldn’t work. Why not? A woman doesn’t love flowers. Oh, a woman who sold you over and over again. She doesn’t date men who she works with. Come on. It’s not like I’m sending her that. I want you to go to bed with me. Bouquet. It’s like I’m talking to a brick wall.

It’s more like I’m sending her the, I’m sorry for being a complete jackass while your mother is viciously sick arrangement. Ooh, Alex. That’s a great idea. And what does that arrangement look like again? Is it like a, a bunch of lilies with a black ribbon around it? It, it’s a funeral joke. Okay. Flowers are out.

I got it terrified that you’re this. No, no, no. This is genius. Sunny, I, Stephanie’s whole issue is that she doesn’t wanna date somebody that she works with. Right. Those were your own words. Right. But that’s not her only issue. From what I recall, she kind of hated you before you guys started. Oh, this Sony boy, I’m gonna roll here.

Okay. She’s not, she’s not to you got it. I got. I got it. Okay. Then again, petrified to hear this, honestly, it’s the perfect solution and I don’t know why hell just spit it out. It’s fine. Okay, so Stephanie’s whole problem is that she doesn’t wanna date somebody like me because we work together. So I’ll fire her.

I seem to have put the kbo on our little celebration. I’m sorry. No, I know your mom is on your mind around the clock. You shouldn’t feel guilty. About taking time for your own life. She just, she doesn’t get any better. She’s beloved at that hospital. There’s gonna be so many people fighting for her.

They’re gonna pull her through this. I wish I had your faith.

I, maybe you don’t know this, but when I was a little girl, we were told my dad was dead. Yeah, I, I know. Sorry. We went on believing it for years. I accepted the fact that he was lost to me forever. Must have felt like a miracle when he came home. It did, but during all those years before the miracle, my mom was my rock.

My world was still okay because I knew I had.

I can’t lose her. I just can’t.

Ah, thank you. I can definitely use a drink. Oh, rough day. I have had better ones. Trouble at City Hall. Yeah, he know. It’s not that I spoke to John this afternoon. Marlene is sick. Oh no. How. Serious. He’s really worried about her. You know what? When I was lecturing Stephanie today, Chad told me to cut her some slack because her mother was so sick.

Now she and Marla, they both work at the hospital. Maybe there’s some bad bug running around. Well, I wish we were that simple. John said that Marlena, Kayla, and Kate can all blame the same man for what? A. Well, do you know who he was talking about? Yep. Murphy is,

I have to say, I don’t understand what is there to understand. Johnny and I are friends. That’s it. F why did I catch the two of you and back together? Dad, nothing happened because I interrupted you. . Okay, So this may surprise you, but every once in a while things happen that don’t have anything to do with.

I’m the one who put the brakes on it. You may have forgotten, but, um, I recently lost my husband, so I’m not ready to move on with anyone just yet. I see. So you can, uh, forget about adding me and Johnny to the Twisted Damara family. His. Okay. How about that drink?

Wow. Uh, you really think that I would suggest us hooking up with Alex, because I am still scared of you being into Johnny. Like, do you really think I’m that twisted? No, that isn’t what I said. Well, then what are you saying? I, I don’t know. I’m, I’m really confused. Look, I just, I thought that this was something we could try together from the get go.

You have been very open about being sexually fluid. Okay. And you’re bi so what does that have to do with anything? Well, I, I think that it just shows that we are both attracted to men, right? Sure. So are you. Saying that you miss having sex with them?

No, I do not miss having sex with men. This is not about missing anything. I just, I just think it could be fun. Sure. It could. Fun. But I’ve learned with you that I can be happy and a loving, monogamous relationship. And I thought that you were happy too. I am. Are you sure? Yes. Yes, I am sure. Look, the last thing that I wanna do, the last thing I’d ever wanna do is cheapen what we have.

I just think that this is something that we could. You know, as a couple, bringing a guy like Alex into our relationship, right? Not into our relationship, just into our bed, okay? This is just about sex. There’s no feelings. And that is why. That is why Alex is the perfect guy to choose for this, because there’s no way that either one of us would ever fall for that dufu.

Alex, You’re kidding. Right? You know you can’t terminate Stephanie’s contract. Just because you want to date her, why not? Because that is literally textbook sexual harassment. Alex, you’ve dumb ass okay with the insults though really I know this is new for you to be attracted to someone and not have them attracted to you too.

This is not new for me, Sunny. It’s happened to me before and it’s still hurts. Say fair. How long ago was this? Third grade. Oh my god. I give, I give up. This is, it’s pointless. Okay. Why don’t we treat this like, uh, like a growing experience Except in the fact that a hard no does not mean maybe

I do hear where you’re coming from. Maybe you’re right, Sonny. You know, firing Stephanie would be wrong on many levels. Yes it would. So I’m gonna quit. Oh my God. I can’t. What are you, what are you doing? What do you mean you can’t, You’re on the road to recovery. Big boy. So part of, I literally got stabbed in my back.

Do not understand. You gotta be ing to get the CEO chair if you’re not what I heard. Xander, you looking for the job bra or what about dad wins? Alex, what about that? That chick what is off the boat? Stop. Stop. Another CEO change will make Titan look as unstable as Damara. Uncle Vick is very happy with the job you’re doing.

Okay, so. You’re gonna have to stay put until I’m well enough to come back. And what about my feelings for Stephanie? Did we not just talk about this, but since it obviously did not register? Okay. This woman alone, Okay. You’re gonna get over this obsession that you have and back off. All right. Okay. It registered.

I get it. I’m a little obsessed. It’s not healthy for me. I have to find a way to get it under control. I get it. Yeah, you do. Okay. And you will, You’re just feeling a little rejected right now and I’m feeling a little lonely. So how about we, uh, we soothe our aching hearts by feeling our empty stomachs. You might be on.

Does Julie’s place still have those, um, chilly dogs like Adrian used to make? I doubt they’re as good as hers, but anything we’ll do right now, how many you want? I know two, two, really two, two is gonna fill that t and ease that. Breaking hard. Make it six. You got it.

It was wrong of me to jump to the conclusion that the two of you were adding affair . You’re right. But I sort of can’t believe you’re saying it and I mistook your plans for Ava Forum for doing what you. Being nice to a grieving woman just to get what you want. And when you told me that you would move out, if I insisted that Ava move out to, I misunderstood your intentions there as well.

I should have known that a principled young man like yourself would never take advantage of a woman in Avis. Situation is what you were talking about before. What do you mean? Oh, come now. We both know how much you treasured your marriage to Jake, don’t we?

Hmm. So, trying to blow up Kate, Marlene and Kayla wasn’t enough of his. Off his ba, he’s making him sick. Math too. Poison in the month of biotoxin, if a fortune tiller have predicted. One day my husband would say a thing like that to me. I’d have called a liar and walked out without paying. Yeah. Well it was hard for me to believe too, But Oria seems to be going for Brooke.

He seems determined to kill the partners of his three greatest enemies, John and Steve Roman. My God, they must be losing their minds. I know. I wouldn’t be if it was you. Oh, that’s sweet. But let’s don’t go there. I’m gonna go over to the hospital to see how everyone’s doing. Well, the hospital is only allowing close family to visit.

Kate, Kate checked herself out the hospital. Let her do that. . When Kate wants something, it is hard to change her mind. Mm. Poor woman. Living with a woman that’s stubborn. Mm. That was a joke. Hey, uh, why don’t we go over there and see if there’s anything we can do for them. Now you talk . Oh, come in.

Sloan Peterson. Mayor car. It’s so nice to see you again. What do you want? Nothing from you. I’m here to see your wife.

Yeah, I do have some idea what you’ve been going.

Since my mom died, Kate has been, has been the, she’s always been there for me. You know, she’s, She’s closer to me than bj, even Tony, most of the time. I’m scared for her now. And you’re still grieving Abigail? Yeah. This job came around at just the right. For me too.

How have you been coping?

Well, I told myself I would, um, I’d, I’d feel better once, uh, once they caught whoever the killer was, like it would bring me closure. However, now that means didn’t work out that way. No, kind of the opposite. I mean, it filled my days. I, I had a job to do a purpose, but.

No, I just, I felt lost, so you threw me a lifeline. So thank you. Hmm. I think I’ll just nip down to the wine cellar and get a special bottle for this case. You a Melo drinker if I recall. Hm. Be careful down there. Don’t let yourself get locked in that secret room. I’ve heard so much about , don’t believe everything you hear

you, uh, buying all this friendliness from him. All I know is that EJ Damara doesn’t. Anything unless there’s something in it for him. Yeah. And that’s what I’m worried about. Let’s try not to, I’ve got your back. He goes both.

Thanks. Of course. So what are you thinking? Oh, . Well, I am not gonna lie. I am still a little thrown by this whole thing, baby. I think you’re worrying too much. And what I’m worried about is that you’re not giving this a whole lot of thought. You let Henry go with Nicole, and now you’re off to the races.

It’s just sex. Yeah. That sounds like the famous last words from a love triangle thriller. And then the next thing you know, somebody’s bunny’s getting boiled. Okay. Okay, Fine. . I will admit that the thought of you and Johnny still bothers me, but I know that’s what this was about, but Johnny is not the reason that I think we should be with Alex.

Okay. Look, I, I still remember what I had with Trip and I remember how much I enjoyed it and how hot it was. Mm-hmm. so much Shell that you cheated on him with me. Okay. Yes. You and I were always into each other. But we also had amazing chemistry with the men in our lives, and I just, I don’t want either one of us to miss that and then mess up what we have.

And you think that Alex C is the answer to that? It might be fun to figure out,

you two know each. Ms. Peterson has a thriving practice as a defense attorney. . You too kind. Mayor Carver. Oh, it’s, it’s a nice way of calling you an ambulance chaser. So what do you want with my wife? I hear you just announced that you’re running for governor. That’s right. Answer Ape’s question. I’d like to speak with you privately.

Um, why don’t you go ahead to the pub without. Are you sure? Mm-hmm. Not gonna handle whatever this is right here. Give my my love to Roman and Katie. Mm. All right. Be careful. My wife has friends in high places.

Okay, Ms. Peterson. Now what is this about

you? A busy woman, so I’ll get right to the point you do that. I know you didn’t mention my running for governor for nothing. I represent a client who’s in possession of certain inform. Should that information become public, your nascent political prayer would be over before it begins.

Okay. One Who needed rescuing? Here? It was me. No. Come on. Hmm. If you hadn’t walked in one you did this morning, I’m telling you Paul would’ve canned. No. Yeah, and just firing me wouldn’t have been enough. She would’ve tried to ruin my career. , you’re giving me too much credit. I was just following your lead, me saying, Yes, Paulina.

No, Paulina. That was the lead. No, it was just a, a distraction. Now I just come from Abby’s grave. Oh, Chad, almost. I imagined seeing her. I’m not losing it. No, I didn’t think that. It’s just so sad.

She told me that I, she moved on with my life. If only were that easy.

Okay. Before we take this any further, I have to make something clear. Being fluid doesn’t mean that I’m always missing men. I am in a happy, committed relationship with the woman I love. I feel. Exactly the same way about you.

So, uh, if I were to say yes to this, what will we do next? How will we make it happen?

Hey, Hey. I thought you were getting Julie’s. Yeah, they were all outta Julie Dogs, so it’s running by the pub and grab some burgers and fries. I hope that’s. I see. That sounds great.

Are you okay? Yeah.

I’m gonna run the kitchen. Grab some beers,

huh? What’s up? It’s all and chan. You want me to come over?

Listen, uh, before my dad gets back, I, I just wanted to say that I, I totally get why you put the breaks on us. I still think we’d be great together. Oh, Johnny Ash, Let me finish. You take all the time you need, Okay. To grieve for Jake. But if and when you’re ready, I’m here. Oops. It’s good to know. Oh, look who is back.

Who, Who’s that present for? Why you? Of course. There you go. If good Latin open this would you. Sure thing. Good.

Oh, it isn’t ticking. So that’s encouraging , how I enjoy that. Nimble weight of yours. Mm. Oh good. What is it?

It’s my marriage license. Mm. I took the liberty of having it framed for you. I was gonna have it delivered to you, but since you decided to move in, I thought I’d present it to you now. What a thoughtful gesture. Thank you. There’s just, One problem with it. And what’s that? Dad? That’s not your Uncle Jake’s signature.

Abraham was right about you. You are a damn ambulance Chas. Now, if you or your client is expecting some sort of hush money payday, then think again. All of Paul price’s, dirty laundry has been aired out for the world to see. Just let yourself out. Oh, I wasn’t talking about you Ms. Price. I was talking about your daughter.

I cannot believe we are really doing this well. We won’t be doing much of anything until Alex shows up. Well, would it be terrible if he didn’t? I thought you were up for. I am, but I,

Do you wanna get it or should I, Uh, let’s get it together. Okay.

Hey, hey, Alex. Thanks for coming. Sure. What’s up

Jen? You have to give yourself some time. Yeah, Time hasn’t exactly been working out for me. What do you mean? Um, maybe I. Should put the recovery thing on. Fast forward. I just don’t understand. I may have, maybe what Abby was trying to say was that I should, I should try being someone else

that, that I already like a lot.

Are you starting with that nonsense? You’re still trying to prove that my marriage to Jake wasn’t real. What are you trying to pull? Okay. Ava married Jake. That has to be his signature. Yeah, of course it is. I took the liberty of hiring a team of handwriting experts. I asked them to compare the signature on that license to documents that Ava and Jake signed for the mirror.

They said that Ava’s signature was a total match, but Jake’s had been forged a very almost flawless forgery, but a forgering nonetheless. He’s lying, right? He’s lying. It’s your good friend Ava. Who’s been lying? She said that she was married so she could get her grubby, grasping hands on your uncle’s share of Damira Enterprises.

Ava may be the consummate grifter and con artist, but I have it Uncle Authority that she is not a damira.
