Transcript provided by Suzanne

Paulina: Damn it.

Justin: Careful, paulina.

Paulina: So why isn’t there a cop with handcuff keys with you? What happened in court?

Justin: Sorry. They denied you bail.

Paulina: Again?

Justin: Again.

Abe: Hey. Looks like somebody’s been discharged.

Eli: Yeah. Just waiting on the paperwork, and lani’s picking me up.

Abe: Ah. Well, I shouldn’t be too far behind you. I’m just waiting for kayla to show up any time to sign off on my discharge.

Eli: Mm-hmm. Lani mentioned that. She brought some clothes for you.

Abe: Ah, thank you. So you saw her?

Eli: Yeah, I , o of you talk?

Eli: Abe, let’s wait until we’re both discharged.

Abe: Damn it. I don’t wanna wait. Did paulina shoot tr or not?

Lani: Don’t worry about it, julie. He will be finefifi I can’t, julie. I am headed to the hospital to get eli out. Yes, yes. Sure. And hey, julie,

>>Y. If I can explain–

Chanel: Lani, are you okay?

[Phone ringing]

[Line trilling]

Xander: Come on, sarah. Pick up. Just talk to me.

[Phone ringing]

[Phone beeps]

Sarah: Hello, xander.

Xander: Oh, thank god.

Male announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “days of our lives.”

[Soft orchestration]

Xander: Oh, sarah, you picked up. I’m so glad. Are you–are you at the pub? I’ll come over. I need to see you.

Sarah: I only answered because you keep calling, and that has to stop, xander. Okay?

Xander: Sarah, we have to talk.

Sarah: No, we don’T. We don’t need to talk, because I don’t have anything to say to you. So please stop calling me.

[Phone beeps]

Eric: Sure that’s a good idea?

Paulina: What the hell happened? The whole point of the appeal was to set bail so I could get out of here.

Justin: No. The whole point of the appeal was to determine if the decision to deny you bail was legally viable. It was.

Paulina: It’s because I’m rich, right? They think I’m a flight risk.

Justin: Paulina, the judge didn’t deny you bail because you’re a flight risk. He denied you bail because you confessed to killing a man.

Eli: Abe, we can–we can talk about this later. Privately.

Abe: Why do you keep trying to put me off? When we talked last, we both agreed that lani could have something to do with the shooting. Now, did you talk to her?

Eli: I did.

Abe: And? Damn it. What did she say?

Eli: You really shot tr?

[Tense music]

Lani: It was me.

Eli: Lani had to nothing to do with it.

Lani: I’m fine.

Chanel: You don’t look fine.

Lani: Of course. I don’t look fine. My mother is in jail, and my husband and my father are both in the hospital. And yeah, my biological father was murdered.

Chanel: Oh.

Lani: I’m sorry, chanel. You are not the person I should be dumping this on.

Chanel: Don’t worry about it. Look, lani, when I–when I saw you sitting here, you didn’t look sad or mad or overwhelmed. You just looked lost. Can you tell me what you were thinking about?

Lani: I was thinking about the shooting and, uh… watching tr die in front of me.

Tr: I love you. I forgive you.

Lani: I just–I keep–I keep hearing the last thing that he said to me. That he–that he ever will say.

Chanel: Let it out, lani. Tell me what he said. Ubrelvy helps u fight migraine attacks.

Nicole: Do you think telling holly this morning is a bad idea?

Rafe: No. No, I just thought that you might want to tell her yourself when the time’s right.

Nicole: The time is right, and I want us to tell her together.

Rafe: Okay. Okay, great. I mean, when I think about the three of us at breakfast, that’s great. I mean, really great. It’s just I just don’t want her to think that I am forcing my way into her life.

Nicole: She’s not gonna think that. She wants you in her life.

Rafe: I hope so.

Nicole: [Sighs] I know so. Rafe, I don’t do anything without thinking about holly. And I just want her to be part of a happy family, and I want that to start right away. Can you understand that?

Rafe: Yes. Yes, I can understand that. But I do have one question.

Nicole: Uh-oh. Okay.

Rafe: Do you have a waffle iron?

Nicole: [Laughs] Yes.

Rafe: Okay.

Sarah: How long were you standing there?

Eric: Long enough to hear you tell xander not to call you again.

Sarah: Don’t you need to take a shower or something?

Eric: No way. I’m cooling down.

Sarah: Well, while you’re cooling down, I still don’t wanna talk about xander.

Eric: Okay. How’d you sleep?

Sarah: Oh, great. You know, wonderful. I wake up every hour or so. And then when I’m asleep, I have really great dreams about desert islands and psych wards. And when I do finally wake up, I can console myself with the fact that I finally know who I am now. I think.

Eric: That sounds awful.

[Both laugh]

Sarah: It is what it is, I guess.

Eric: You know, when everything blew up with me and nicole, I got lost. You know, when I kind of–it took me a while to find my way, but, you know, what I found is that–

Sarah: Eric, I love you so much. I really don’t need a priest right now.

Eric: Well, lucky for you, I’m not one anymore.

Sarah: Oh, I’m so busy feeling sorry for myself I just blurted that out.

Eric: Mm-mm.

Sarah: Please say something.

Eric: We’re one hell of a pair, aren’t we?

Sarah: [Laughs]

Paulina: I didn’t confess to anything. I simply laid out the facts.

Justin: Mm-hmm. Which included the fact that you shot tr.

Paulina: Oh, so now I’m being penalized for being honest. You know, I don’t think so. Now I want you to go back to–

Justin: What I want is for you to listen to me and listen good. Okay? You got this whole act, talking a mile a minute, turning on the charm, barking orders, the old razzle-dazzle. And that might work great in the real estate business. Sometimes it even works good in court. But trying to snow your own lawyer is, and I use this word advisedly, stupid.

Paulina: Don’t sugar coat it.

Justin: I wouldn’t dream of it. Now, paulina, your case isn’t hopeless, but it is serious. So you need to level with me. Just now, you said that you were being penalized for being honest. When you confessed, were you being honest?

Abe: So lani said she didn’t do it?

Eli: That’s right.

Abe: Then why did she say paulina said she shot him? Why did she put it that way?

Eli: Just some slip of the tongue, I guess. And she meant to say that paulina had done it. I mean, she was in shock.

Abe: I heard what I heard. Paulina said, “what have you done?” Did you ask lani what paulina meant by that?

Lani: The last thing he said to me was that he loved me.

Chanel: Wow. Well, that’s a lot to deal with.

Lani: Yeah. [Sighs]

Chanel: So how are you feeling about it?

Lani: Let’s just say it is complicated.

Chanel: Yeah. Have you–have you heard anything about mama? I’m so scared that they might keep her in jail until her trial.

Lani: Justin is going to court this morning to appeal, and see if he can get her released out on bail.

Chanel: Oh, I hope it works. Mama never did well in confined spaces, which for her is anything less than 3,000 square feet.

Lani: [Chuckles]

Chanel: I know that I have to be strong. That’s what mama said when daddy died, but… then we could be strong together. And now she’s the only parent I have left, you know. I’m not ready to lose her.

Lani: Chanel, um… there’s something that I have to tell you. My asthma felt anything but normal.

Chanel: Lani, what is it?

Xander: Oh, there you are. I was just about to head to the bakery to find you.

Chanel: Xander, we’re kind of in the middle of something.

Xander: Sarah hung up on me. I mean, she answered the phone with the sole purpose of hanging up on me.

Chanel: Well, maybe it’s because you weren’t getting the signal that she didn’t want to talk to you. That you were interrupting.

Xander: You’re probably right. See, that’s why I need you. You have to tell me what I have to do to get her back.

[Both chuckling]

Sarah: You’re right. We are one hell of a pair.

Eric: Yeah.

Sarah: [Laughs] So any luck with your parish?

Eric: No, their hands are tied. I broke church protocol, and once I performed those exorcisms, now I gotta live with the consequences.

Sarah: Yeah, but you were fighting the devil. You were helping people. You were saving…

Eric: I know.

Sarah: People. And I think they kicked you out of the priesthood for being too good of a priest.

Eric: I took a vow of obedience.

Sarah: Yeah, but you didn’t do anything wrong.

Eric: Neither did you. Now, here we are both at square one.

Sarah: [Sighs] So what are you gonna do now?

Eric: Hmm.

Nicole: Are you sure you don’t want another waffle?

Holly: No, I’m full. They were really good though.

Rafe: Oh. Thank you.

Holly: Well, I’ll go get my backpack.

Rafe: Wait, honey. Before you go, there’s something that we wanted to talk to you about, and we were waiting for the right to time.

Holly: Okay.

Nicole: You know, that rafe and I have been friends for a really long time.

Rafe: Long time.

Nicole: And now we’ve decided that we wanna get married. What do you think about that?

Rafe: I know that this probably comes as surprise to you.

Holly: No, it’s not.

Nicole: It’s not?

Holly: Well, you’re together all the time now. And mom’s been in a really good mood, and then I saw the ring.

Nicole: You saw the ring?

Holly: You were wearing it. Would you think I wouldn’t see it?

Nicole: Oh.

Rafe: Wow. You know, we have an opening at the detective unit. Yeah. We could use you.

[Nicole and rafe chuckle]

Nicole: Also this makes you happy, right?

Holly: Sure. If I can be the flower girl.

Nicole: [Chuckles]

Eli: Yeah. I did ask lani about that.

Abe: I heard paulina say, “what have you done?” Now what could that mean except–

Eli: Lani shot tr. I get it. But first of all, lani doesn’t remember paulina saying anything like that.

Abe: I know what I heard.

Eli: I know, but lani doesn’t remember. And maybe paulina was saying it to tr after what he had done to you.

Abe: So you think she was talking to tr?

Eli: I mean, it makes sense, doesn’t it? I mean, he attacks you while paulina was in another room. She sees you lying on the floor and just blurts it out. You just happen to be conscious enough to hear.

Abe: Maybe it was about the timing. I feel like–I feel like I heard paulina say that much later when lani was already there.

Paulina: So you wanna know if I was lying when I said I shot tr?

Justin: On second thought, don’t tell me.

Paulina: No?

Justin: No. If I want to get this confession thrown out, I need every argument at my disposal. And if I know that this is a fabrication, the ethics could get real murky.

Paulina: I like that. Fabrications. A lot classier than pack of lies.

Justin: I learned it in law school.

Paulina: I was hoping that you learn how to get your clients out of jail.

Justin: Usually, I’m pretty good at this, but sometimes you have a client who’s screwed things up six ways to sunday before the lawyer shows up.

Paulina: You wouldn’t be talking about me, would you?

Justin: Let’s just say the next time someone’s shot to death in your apartment, call a lawyer before you sign the statement.

Paulina: Duly noted.

Justin: Unless of course there’s a reason why you don’t want your lawyer present.

Paulina: What makes you say that?

Justin: The statement itself. Let’s just say I have some questions as to its accuracy. For instance, you state here that you grabbed the gun away from your daughter, detective price, and then shot mr. Coates.

Paulina: That’s what I said, and that’s what happened.

Justin: Really?

Paulina: Really.

Justin: Then maybe you can explain to me how you were able to get lani’s gun out of its holster. My moderate to severe plaque psoriasis…

Abe: [Groans softly] I could swear that when I heard paulina say, “what have you done?” I was coming to. Lani was in the room.

Eli: No offense, abe, but there’s a reason that they’ve kept you here this long.

Abe: Oh, you’re saying that I’m not in control of my faculties?

 

Eli: You are now, but that night, abe, you got hit really hard. And it’s possible that you just don’t remember the timeline correctly. [Sighs] Honestly, abe, who’s a more reliable witness? Someone with severe head trauma or someone without? I know that we both were really worried about lani being the shooter, but I’ve spoken to her. And I’m confident on what really happened.

Abe: So… it was paulina. We were wrong.

Eli: We were wrong.

Paulina: So that’s your problem? That you don’t think I can pull a gun out of a holster?

Justin: No, I think that’s your problem.

Paulina: What’s that supposed to mean?

Justin: You signed a statement saying that you took lani’s gun and shot tr with it.

Paulina: That’s right.

Justin: I scanned this statement. Took me maybe five minutes.

Paulina: But you billed me for it, right?

Justin: Right now there’s a whole team of assistant district attorneys going through this statement with a fine-tooth comb. If you lied on this statement, that could be obstruction of justice.

Paulina: I’m quaking.

Justin: And one discrepancy could have the whole statement thrown out. And in terms of this investigation, that means going back to square one. Back to the original suspects.

Paulina: Oh, did–well, did you find any discrepancy?

Justin: I don’t know, but something did catch my eye.

Paulina: Lay it on me.

Justin: Paulina, did you know that a police officer’s weapon is secured in place by a snap? So in order for you to grab lani’s weapon away from her, you would’ve had to first unsnap it and then pull it out. And according to your statement, lani didn’t notice you doing that.

Paulina: Lani came in with her gun drawn. Maybe she forgot to snap it back into place. So that means that I could have done exactly what I said I did in that statement. So, counselor, anything else?

Nicole: Oh, honey, of course you can be the flower girl.

Rafe: We would not have anyone else.

Holly: So when’s the wedding?

Nicole: Wow. Actually we haven’t even talked about a date yet.

Rafe: Nope. Well, we wanted to check with you obviously, make sure your schedule was clear, and see how you felt about the whole thing.

Holly: I think it should be soon.

Nicole: Really?

Rafe: OkaY.

Holly: Don’t you, mom? I mean, why wait around, right?

Nicole: Uh–[Chuckles] Rafe?

Rafe: I’m with holly. Why wait around?

Nicole: Okay. Well then I guess we’re getting married as soon as possible.

Rafe: Okay.

Holly: Okay. Now that that’s settled, let me see the rinG.

Nicole: Oh, yes, ma’am. What do you think?

Chanel: I understand why you want sarah bacK.

Xander: Why I have to get sarah back.

Chanel: Okay. But I don’t understand what that has to do with me.

Xander: Well, you and i were married.

Chanel: For like five minutes.

Xander: Yeah, but it was your idea. You thought I was a rich guy, and you tricked me into marrying you.

Chanel: Okay, but you weren’t exactly an unwilling participant.

Xander: No, I was drunk. Because I’d lost sarah.

Lani: You still haven’t answered the question, xandeR. What does this have to do with chanel?

Xander: Well, she’s a woman.

Chanel: You are so observant.

Xander: I’ve started to realize that I don’t know a lot about womeN. I don’t understand them at all really. And you were able to get me to do what you wanted, and I can’t get people to do anything that I want unless I threaten them. And… I wouldn’t wanna threaten saraH.

Chanel: Yeah, that would be bad.

Xander: With jack gone, I don’t have any friends. And I was hoping that maybe you and I were still, you know, kind of friends. What do you say? Can you find it in your heart to help me figure out what to do?

Eric: I don’t know what i’m going to do next. So I have time to figure it out.

Sarah: Well, and whatever it is, I know that there’s a village in africa that would be happy to have you back.

Eric: Mm-mm. I’m not going back.

Sarah: Why not?

Eric: Well, I spoke to somebody that I worked with there. And when they found out that some members of my family were possessed by the devil, they weren’t very eager for my returN. Hmm.

Sarah: I’m really sorry to hear that.

Eric: It’s all righT. It just means that I get to stick around for a little while.

Sarah: Well, selfishly, I’m glad.

[Both chuckle] But don’t worry that you’ll be stuck with me 24/7. I think I should find somewhere to stay.

Eric: Where are you gonna go?

Sarah: Probably to my mom’S.

Eric: Or maybe you should think about going back to xandeR.

Rafe: Well, okay. Now that we’ve settled on the flower girl and when we’re gonna get married, I can get ready for work.

Nicole: Yeah.

Rafe: Yeah.

Nicole: OkaY. And you, young lady, have to get ready for school.

Holly: Can I ask you a question first?

Nicole: Sure, honey. You can ask me anything.

Holly: I’m glad you’re getting married, but what about eric? Isn’t he going to be sad?

Sarah: If I don’t even wanna talk about xander, how in god’s name do you think I’m gonna go back to him?

Eric: Because you love hiM. I know. He hurt you, but the fact is you got past iT.

Sarah: Xander said that I forgave him, but for the life of me, I cannot figure out why.

Eric: Well he worked for it. And priest or no priest, I still believe in forgiveness.

Xander: Well, will you help me?

LanI: Chanel, I’m sorry, but I need to go. They’re discharging eli.

Chanel: But you said you had something to tell me.

Lani: Yeah, I did. You don’t need to worry, okay? Justin is a really good lawyer. I love you.

Chanel: Me too.

Xander: What was that all about?

Chanel: It’s personal.

[Groans softly] Okay. Listen, xander. I get that you are torn up about what happened with sarah. And yes, i am a woman, and yes, I can sometimes get people to do what i want them to do. But from what you told me before, sarah made it very clear to you on your wedding day that she wants nothing to do with you. And she hooked up with her ex and dumped you.

Xander: Technically, yes.

Chanel: What do you mean technically?

Xander: It was a long story, but it turns out it wasn’t her that dumped me.

Chanel: Oh, was it the devil?

Xander: No, it was kristen dimera in a sarah mask.

Chanel: Okay. This town is beyond weirD.

Xander: Can you imagine? You get dumped by someone. You go through all the pain of thinking that they don’t wanna be with you anymore. And then later on, you find out that they weren’t actually the one who did it.

Chanel: Actually I can, because the same thing happened to me. Twice.

Paulina: I told you what happeneD. Now, it’s your job to get them to drop the charges. Now, you tell that court whatever you have to. I was an abused woman, had a delayed reaction to ptsd. Just get me out of here.

Justin: It’s going to be a long, slow process.

Paulina: Then you better get started.

Justin: Right.

Paulina: Justin, thank you.

Justin: Don’t expect miracles. For god’s sake, don’t make any more statements.

Abe: All righT. We’ll let this go.

Eli: I already have.

Abe: Eli, you know, I didn’t mean to accuse lani. I just–I just wanna understand what happened. I guess what happened is that paulina shot and killed tr just like she said she did.

Eli: That’s right.

Abe: That poor woman. You know what gets me? That low life, he didn’t come here to find his family or to make amends. He came here to make a bucK. And in his spare time, he screwed up the lives of so many people that he doesn’t even deserve to know. And after all the pain and sorrow he put her through, now she has to pay for what she did. And that bastard so richly deserved it.

Eli: Sounds like you still really care for her.

Abe: I told julie that I loved paulina, and I was on my way to tell her.

Eli: Why not tell her today? Hey, hell. If there’s anything I’ve learned from being in here these past three months is that there’s no time like the present.

Abe: You sound like your grandmother.

Eli: [Chuckling] Oh.

[Both chuckle] Yeah, well, maybe she is rubbing off on me. What are you waiting for? Come on. Get up. Get dressed. Go tell paulinA.

Abe: [Chuckles]

Nicole: Honey, why do you think eric will be sad?

Holly: Because you were married to eric before, and now you’re going to marry rafe.

Nicole: Eric won’t be sad. He’ll be happy for me. Just like I’m happy for him that he’s a priest and helping people, because that’s what makes him happy. You don’t have to worry about eric. Even if we’re not together, we’re both really, really happY.

Eric: Xander did everything he could to prove himself to you, and you took him back. Not only were you together, but you were planning on getting married. And you would’ve been married if kristen hadn’t intervened.

Sarah: Yeah, but she did.

Eric: I know it’s gonna take you some time to get over all the things that have happened to you. Maybe once you have, maybe you should consider taking him back. Forgive him.

Chanel: OkaY. So here’s what I don’t get. If kristen was the one who dumped you and not sarah, then why do you need to win sarah back?

Xander: Because kristen didn’t stop there. She also drugged sarah. And a side effect of the drug is that sarah now hates me for something I did a long time ago that she already forgave me foR. But because of the drug, she–well, she remembers hating me, but she doesn’t remember the forgiveness part, so I need to find a way to get her to remember. So what do I do?

Lani: Good news. Kayla just signed your release form, and you’re good to gO.

Eli: Oh, great. Hey, i talked to your dad.

LanI: About what happened that night?

Eli: It’s okaY. All right. I convinced him that we were barking up the wrong tree. He believes that paulina’s the one that did it.

Paulina: Oh, it’s about timE. Abraham! Oh, you’re out of the hospital?

Abe: YeS. I was just dischargeD.

Paulina: Oh, thank god. I’ve been so worried about you.

Abe: I’ve been worried about you too.

Paulina: [Chuckles] I can’t believe it. I almost left town with ray when you were bleeding on the floor of my apartment. What were you doing there in the first place?

Abe: I had come to tell you how I–how I feel about you.

Paulina: You didn’t have to do that. You made it very clear how you felt about me when you said you can never have a relationship with me, because you could never really trust me.

Abe: I know what I said. But I’ve changed my mind.

Paulina: What do you mean you changed your mind?

Abe: That night… before i came to your apartment, I’d come to pick up the twins from julie’S. And… Well, let’s just say she gave me an earful. I mean, you know that the two of you got off to a rocky start, but she is definitely in your corner now.

Paulina: [Chuckles] What did she say?

Abe: Oh, for me to get over my tired self.

[Both laugh] Said I should tell you– I should tell you how I felt about you. And, um… that’s why I came therE. To tell you that… I want be with you. I love you.

Paulina: Oh. I see.

Abe: You know, what happened that night it didn’t– it doesn’t change how I feel about you.

Paulina: As you know, you know i love you too. And hearing you say those things, it’s like a dream come true. Abraham, I’m probably going to prison.

Abe: And if that happens, and if there’s any justice in this world, it won’T. But if that happens, doesn’t change anythinG. I am afraid… you’re stuck with me.

LanI: I ran into chanel on my way here, and she was so upset about paulina. She was scared, and it took everything in me not to tell her the truth. That paulina didn’t shoot tr. I did, eli.

Eli: Baby, I know that you feel guilty for paulina taking the rap, and now I feel bad for chanel too. But chanel is a grown woman. She’s had her mother her entire life. Our kids, they’re gonna need their mother for the next 17 years or so. And I am gonna do whatever, whatever it takes to make sure that they have her.

Chanel: Listen, xander. I feel for you. Against my better judgment, I do. But I just don’t think I’m the best person to be handing out romantic advice right now. My mother is in prison and I’m in love with twins and I thought they both dumped me, but it turns out that they hadn’T.

Xander: But that’s exactly why you’re the perfect person. Don’t you see? We’re in the same boat.

Chanel: Then I guess… all I can say is hang in there.

Xander: That’s it? Hang in there?

Chanel: That’s all I got. Good luck. I mean it.

Xander: [Sighs] Hang in there. Bloody brilliant. Could have come up with that myself.

Sarah: Um, I was just coming to find you.

Xander: You were?

Sarah: I was wondering if we could maybe talk, um, alone. [Chuckles] Or if, you know, now is not a good time–

Xander: Oh, no, no. It’s a fine time. It’s just fine.

Nicole: Eric.

Eric: Nicole, hey.

Nicole: I’m glad you’re here. I thought you might have left.

Eric: I’m still here.

[Chuckles]

Nicole: Like I said, I’m glad. Listen, I have some news, and I want you to hear it from me first.

Eric: What’s that?

Nicole: Rafe and i are engaged.

Eric: Oh, that’s– that’s great. Congratulations.

Nicole: Oh, um, thank you.

Eric: Yeah. You know, actually I have some news of my own. Might not be going back to africa. I got kicked out of the priesthood.

Kayla: He is fantastic, really. I’m happy to report that my exam and the test results are showing that he is almost completely recovered.

Gabi: And this couldn’t wait till morning?

Jake: You know what they say, never put off till–

Gabi: Fine, fine, fine. Oh, gosh. All right, now that it’s signed, you can go.

Shin: What’s the rush?

Gabi: I’m sorry?

Shin: I mean, you said it yourself. This is jake’s victory as much as it is ours. Please, stay. Celebrate with us. You don’t mind, do you, gabi?

Gabi: Mm, no, i don’T. I don’t mind at all.

Jake: Thank you, li. Much appreciated, but I’m gonna take a pass.

Shin: You sure?

Jake: YeaH. I think I’ll head home.

GabI: Wouldn’t want to keep ava waitinG.

Jake: Hmm. Enjoy your evening, you two.

Gabi: Hmm.

Shin: So where were we?

Ava: I waited… so long to have tripp back in my life. And then to see him gone, and to hear you pronounce him dead right in front of me, I just– I lost my mind.

Kayla: Of coursE. He’s your child.

Ava: And I know how much that you have come to care for him. And the things that I said, when I thought he was gone, when he flatlined, they–

Kayla: You know what, you were in pain.

Ava: Yeah, I was, and I wanted to make sure everybody hurt as much as I did. And I was way out of linE. Kayla, listen. Despite everything between the two of us, I know that you did everything in your power to save tripp.

Kayla: I really tried my best. But I think in this case, we owe it to a higher power.

Ava: Oh, I am thankful to god, but also to you. You are a wonderful doctor, so much so that tripp followed in your footsteps.

Kayla: I’m very proud about that.

Ava: And kayla, thank you for being so graciouS. If you haven’t noticed, this is not exactly my strong suit, but I am gonna work on it, and I’m gonna try and be better. Look at that, you’re inspiring me too.

Kayla: You wanna go back inside?

Ava: Yeah, I do. But, um, actually, I have to get goinG. Would you say my goodbyes to tripp? I’ll call him. But just would you let him know that I’ll be here first thing in the morning?

Kayla: Of coursE.

Ava: Thanks. Oh, and kayla?

Kayla: Yeah.

Ava: Thanks again.

Rafe: Is it ava?

Nicole: Ava?

Rafe: Yeah, you don’t wanna get engaged because you’re worried about ava freaking out when she sees you wearing this ring?

Nicole: Wow. No. Actually, I haven’t even given her a second thought. And I don’t even– I don’t even think she’s an issue between us anymore.

Rafe: You don’t?

Nicole: No, I don’T. And even if she was, I wouldn’t let her stand in the way of us moving forward.

Rafe: Okay. But you didn’t say yes. So if you’re not worried about the mafia princess taking us out, then what’s going on?

Nicole: Maybe i should ask you the same question.

Rafe: What does that mean?

Nicole: Well, rafe, we’ve never really talked about marriage. And all of a sudden, you’re proposing? I mean, what’s that about?

Rafe: I thought you’d be happy.

Nicole: I am. I–I am happy. I’m just surprised, you know? Very surprised. That’s the only reason I’m–I’m hesitant. But I really don’t give a damn what ava thinks, or what anyone thinks for that matteR.

Rafe: You don’t?

Nicole: NO. Now why would you ask me that?

Rafe: Well, you’re sure there’s not someone else who’s giving you pause?

Nicole: Who?

Rafe: Eric.

Roman: Hey, son. How’s sarah doing?

Eric: She cried herself to sleep.

Kate: Poor thing.

Roman: Oh, maN. I hate she’s going through this, reliving the loss of your baby.

Kate: You know, xander tore through here earlier. Did something happen upstairs?

Eric: Well, he’s not exactly happy that sarah’s staying here with me.

Kate: Well, forgive me for asking, but I wouldn’t think the church would be either.

Eric: There’s nothing inappropriate about me or sarah. Nothing’s going on. I’m just trying to help an old friend come to terms with her grief. Yes, she’s sleeping in my bed. And no, I’m sleeping on the flooR.

Kate: Oh, I see.

Roman: Well, we’re talking about the catholic church here, not big brother. I highly doubt they’re watching eric that closely.

[Phone ringing] Who is it?

Eric: It’s the vatican.

Steve: [Chuckles]

Kayla: Well, dr. Johnson, can I get you anything else?

Tripp: No, dr. JohnsoN. I think I’m all seT.

Steve: Oh, no, wait just a minute herE. Tripp, didn’t you say you wanted a couple more injections? And he would like one of those extra-long needles.

Tripp: What happened to my mom?

Kayla: Um, she had to go somewhere, but she told me to tell you that she’ll be back first thing in the morning.

Steve: Should we be concerned about what you two discussed outside?

Kayla: No. We had a very nice conversatioN.

Steve: You did?

Kayla: Yeah, yeah, we did. She wanted to apologize for lashing out at me when we thought we had lost tripp.

Steve: Hmm.

Tripp: I had no idea she did that.

Kayla: Well, it doesn’t matter because she didn’t mean any of it. It was just a mother overcome with grieF.

Tripp: But you two are good now?

Kayla: I guess we are.

Steve: So ava apologized to you?

Kayla: She did.

Steve: How about that?

Ava: Hey, you.

Jake: [Sighs] Hey.

Ava: Okay. What’s wrong?

Jake: Nothing, I just– you know, I tried to help gabi out with one little thing for work, and she just– forget iT. I’m not getting into it.

Ava: Well, you are home now. You can relax, take a load off. Forget all about gabi.

Jake: Right. So how’s tripp?

Kayla: He is expected to make a full recovery. Not bad, right? Not bad for a kid who threw himself out of a window to save a girl from the devil.

Jake: It’s incredible.

Ava: You know, I’m gonna spend the rest of my life thanking god every single day for saving him.

Jake: Yeah.

Ava: You know, believing that tripp was dead, it was the most horrible experience of my life. And you… You were so kind and I never would have gotten through it without you.

Jake: Well, i’m glad he’s making a full recovery, and that I could be there for you when you needed me.

Eric: Yes, I understand. I’m sorry toO. Goodbye.

Roman: Everything okay?

Eric: No, um… it was one of the american cardinals in romE. They just had a meeting. And he was just calling to tell me that they were, uH…

Roman: Telling you what, son?

Eric: That the church is taking steps to remove me from the priesthood.

Nicole: Hey. What exactly concerns you about eric?

Rafe: Nothing.

Nicole: Nothing? Well, if that were true, then you wouldn’t have brought him up, right? Listen, I– I’m gonna tell you something, and I really want you to hear me. Eric and I are divorced. He went back into the priesthood. His loyalty is to god, and my loyalty is to you and only you. And trust me when I say I am not sitting around pining for father brady.

[Chuckles]

Roman: Okay, hold on, um, removing you from the priesthood. Why?

Kate: It’s the sarah thing, isn’t it?

Eric: No. No, it’s not.

Roman: Then what? What could you have possibly done wrong?

Eric: Dad, I performed two unauthorized exorcisms.

Kate: You need permission to remove the devil from someone’s body?

Eric: Yes! Yes, i do. There’s a specific way they want things to happen.

Roman: Which obviously, you knew nothing about.

Eric: Actually, I did. The church gave me a slap on the wrist when I did the exorcism on mom back in christmas. Now the vatican just must have discovered that I’ve done it for a second time, that I gave them no other choice but to remove me.

Roman: How did they find out?

Eric: It doesn’t matter, dad. I’m not gonna be a priest anymore!

Roman: We’ll appeal it.

Eric: Dad, it’s a done deal. He was just letting me know.

Roman: That’s a damn shame for the church. Their loss. I am so sorry, son.

Kate: Well, maybe there’s a silver lining in all of this.

Eric: And what’s that?

Kate: Well, you’re no longer a priest. So maybe you can get back together with nicole.

GabI: What should we toast to next?

Shin: How about a peaceful work environment?

Gabi: I’m sorry, what?

Shin: I couldn’t help but notice the tension between you and jake.

GabI: There’s no tension. I just didn’t like him interrupting us. But now, he’s gone, so yay!

Shin: Well, jake may have declined to join us tonight, but he did accept your offer to return to dimera. We’ll be seeing him at the office every day.

Gabi: Is that a problem?

Shin: I don’t know. Is it?

Gabi: What, you think that just because he’s my ex, we won’t be able to work together? Trust me, li, you’ve got nothing to worry about.

Shin: Well, i’ve seen people who used to date try to co-exist in the office, and it didn’t go well.

Gabi: That won’t happen between me and jake.

Shin: I’ve also seen colleagues become romantically involved, get together, break up, get back together.

GabI: Well, that also won’t happen between me and jake because we’re over, for good.

Shin: Okay, I guess my point is not everybody can keep their personal and professional lives separatE.

Gabi: Yeah, well, I can.

Shin: Good to knoW.

Gabi: Shall we order another bottle of champagne?

Shin: We coulD. Or we could go back to my hotel room for a nightcap.

Steve: So have you had any other visitors besides us and your mom?

Tripp: Uh, johnny and chanel stopped by earlier. And then before then, allie stopped in.

Kayla: How’d that go?

Tripp: Not exactly the way I’d hoped. I’m sure you remember me saying that despite everything, I’m still in love with her.

Kayla: It’s the last thing you told us before you were hurt.

Tripp: And when allie was here, I told her that.

Steve: How’d she respond?

Tripp: She said she loved me too.

Kayla: Isn’t that a good thing?

Tripp: Would be, except she also loves chaneL. She admitted as much.

Steve: She loves both of you?

Tripp: Yeah.

Kayla: How do you feel about that?

Tripp: I will always care about allie and I want to stay in her life and henry’s, but… I wanna be with someone who is in love with me and only me.

Kayla: I don’t think that’s too much to ask for.

Steve: Me neither.

Tripp: Allie gets it, you know, that we have to just be friendS.

Kayla: I’m sorrY.

Tripp: Well, the important thing is that allie is okay. But anyway, it’s getting late. You guys are probably hungry. You should go eat.

Steve: We’re not gonna leave you here alone, man. We can hang for a little while longer.

Tripp: No, no. It’s cool. I’m good. I’m just gonna watch a little tv and then crash.

Steve: Okay. Well, in that case, you ready to roll?

Kayla: I just have a couple things to do, and then I’ll be ready.

Steve: Okay. All right, we’ll see you later, buddY. I love you so much.

Tripp: Love you too, daD.

Kayla: Sweetheart, get some rest, right?

Tripp: I will. You guys have a good night.

[Door closes] Just friends.

Eric: Get back together with nicole? What are you talking about?

Kate: Well, i’m sorry. I didn’t mean to make light of what you’re going through. It just occurred to me.

Eric: So since I can’t spend my days serving god anymore, I should get back together with my ex?

Roman: [Sighs] Eric, I think kate is just trying to get you to look on the bright side.

Eric: Yeah, well, what’s the bright side in that?

Roman: I’d look at it like this. Before you got that phone call, you had one wonderful thing to do with your life. And now, if you choose, you can do more. You can still help people. But if the opportunity and the possibility arise, yeah, you could still have another chance with the love of your life.

Rafe: Okay, I admit, having eric back in town has been a little unnervinG.

Nicole: Hmm. Is this about the hug that you saw earlier today with eric?

Rafe: No, no, no. I mean, obviously when I see you two together, you still, you know, you have a connection.

Nicole: Yeah, but that connection is just two people with a long history. And we talked about this. Eric is my past, right? And of– of course, I’m always gonna care about him, but… I’m not in love with him, rafe. You believe that, right? Look, when we were at the pub and eric told us that he was gonna stay in salem to help sarah, is that why you proposed? Hm? Just so you could lock down and make sure eric didn’t come between us?

Rafe: [Chuckles] No.

[Both chuckling] No, I– no. I got the ring a while back and I was just waiting for what I thought was the right time to give it to you. Okay, yes, maybe, you know, when eric said that he wasn’t going back to africa maybe, like, gave me a little push, but… no. The reason I asked you is because I love you, nicole. Because I wanna spend the rest of my life with you. But if it’s too soon and you don’t wanna get married, then we’ll just forget about it and keep things the way they are.

Nicole: [Sighs]

Ava: How’s the ziti?

Jake: Delizioso.

Ava: Yeah?

Jake: Yeah.

Ava: You’re sure? Not too much salt?

Jake: No, it’s perfect. Just like the company.

Ava: Better stop with those compliments, jake. A girl could get used to iT.

Jake: MM. Could you, now?

Ava: Yeah. Might not be such a bad thing.

Jake: Come here.

[Romantic music]

Shin: Forgive me. I assumed what you said about keeping your personal and professional life separate would apply to us. But obviously, I was being way too forward.

Gabi: Not at all.

Shin: Well, I’m just going to say it. I’m intrigued by you, gabi. Not only as a business partner, but as a woman. A woman I find incredibly attractive.

Gabi: Is that so?

Shin: It most definitely is. And I’m hoping the feeling’s mutual.

Gabi: It is.

[Both chuckle]

Shin: I’m–I’m very glad to hear that. So, um, how about that nightcap?

Gabi: Uh, check, please! Nope

Steve: Hey, you ready to go?

Kayla: Uh, yeah.

Steve: Should I call your brother and ask him to keep the pub open so we can grab a late dinner?

Kayla: Sure.

Steve: Hey, baby?

Kayla: Yeah?

Steve: What is it?

Kayla: I’ve just been thinking about tripp.

Steve: Well, you said he’s doing great, right?

Kayla: Yeah, he is physically, but–

Steve: Yeah, I know. He’s pretty sad about allie.

Kayla: Yeah. I mean, I think he acts cool and everything, but he’s heartbroken. And now, he’s stuck here all alone? It’s just–

Steve: Well, you know, I just happen to have some pull with the chief of staff at his joint. So maybe I can convince her to spring him early.

Kayla: I have a better idea.

Eric: [Sighs]

Roman: Nobody’s pushing you, eric.

Kate: No. No, we’re simply saying that if you are interested in exploring a reunion with nicole, you could.

Roman: Or not. Look, the bottom line is we just want you to be happy.

Eric: You know what would make me happy? If you would stop playing matchmaker for one minute and allow me the time to process this because nicole has moved on.

Kate: Well, maybe she doesn’t realize that she has other options.

Eric: I don’t really know how many ways that I can say this to you right now, but nicole’s moved on. I mean, she has feelings for another man.

Kate: Mm, yeah. But you don’t think that her feelings would change if she knew that you were available?

Nicole: Wait, wait, wait. Don’t–don’t put that way.

Rafe: Why not?

Nicole: Because you’re right. Because you’re right.

Rafe: About what?

Nicole: Everything. Rafe, we love each other. We’re committed to each other. So what are we waiting for?

Rafe: We’re waiting for you to be ready.

Nicole: I am! I’m ready! I’m ready.

Rafe: Nicole, you just said that I blindsided you.

Nicole: I know, I know, but I was surprised. I mean, now that I think about it, this just makes total sense.

Rafe: What does?

Nicole: Okay. You are a wonderful, wonderful man. And you make me feel special, and needed, and valued. And I know you, and I trust you, and we know each other so well. And holly, she adores you. And with that being said, I’m in love with you. And this is everything I ever wanted. So… will you ask me that question again?

Rafe: What question?

Nicole: [Chuckles] Oh, my god. The question– the question that goes with that ring.

Rafe: Oh, that. Yeah. Um, okay.

Nicole: Wait, wait, wait. Just–you don’t have to do that. Just–just ask me.

Rafe: Okay, um–

Nicole: [Chuckles]

Rafe: Okay, this– this is really not like I imagined it going, okay? So, um…yeah. Nicole walker, will you marry me?

Nicole: Yes.

Rafe: Okay, are you sure that you’re ready?

Nicole: Yes, yes.

Rafe: You sure?

Nicole: Yes. I’m a thousand times sure.

Rafe: Oh my, god.

Nicole: Yes, I cannot wait to be your wife.

[Soft romantic music]

Rafe: I’m the luckiest man in the world.

[Soft romantic music]

Nicole: Well, you’re about to get even luckier.

[Both chuckling]

Rafe: [Grunts]

Nicole: Whoo!

[Both laughing] Ah!

Shin: I think this calls for another toast.

Gabi: Oh, how many is this? Okay, know what? Doesn’t matter. Go for it.

Shin: To the great and lasting success of dimera enterprises, with you at the helm.

Gabi: I’ll drink to that.

[Sensual music]

Jake: Sorry, I shouldn’t have done that.

Ava: I wanted you too.

Jake: Did you?

Ava: Since the first night you let me crash here.

Jake: So you’re good with this?

Ava: This almost happened yesterday, before we got interrupted. Don’t tell me you forgot.

Jake: Oh, no. I didn’t forget. I just–

Ava: Jake.

Jake: What?

Ava: Shut up.

[Sensual music]

Gabi: Okay, hold on.

Shin: Is everything okay?

Gabi: Yes, um… before this goes any further, we need to talk about your dad.

Jake: My father?

Gabi: Yeah, he, um– he’s the head of the board for the company I run, and you’re on that board, so.

Shin: As are you. Gabi, if you’re worried about a balance of power, don’t be. We’re colleagues, equals.

Gabi: Yeah, but people may talk.

Shin: You never struck me as the type of woman who was afraid of a little office gossip.

Gabi: What the hell. Let ’em talk.

[Upbeat music]

you’re my obsession ubrelvy helps u fight migraine attacks.

Eric: I know this is all coming from a good place, but really?

Roman: Look, you took a hell of a blow tonight, and I think the last thing you need is for us to be badgering you about your future, whatever it may hold.

Kate: Well, I still think–

Roman: And I think it’s time for us to say goodnight.

Kate: Really? Fine. Goodnight, and, um, we’ll talk about it tomorrow.

Eric: Goodnight, kate. She’s relentless.

Roman: Oh, yes, she is. And you are a good man. I know that, and so does he.

Eric: I love you, dad.

Roman: And I love you, son. All right.

Eric: Hey, I’m gonna lock up.

Roman: Okay, thanks.

Days of Our Lives Transcript

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Ej: Do you need a top up?

Belle: Eh, usually stick to one before dinner, but seeing as how jan spears is pregnant with my husband’s baby and living in my house, yeah, I would like another drink. In fact, make it a double, please.

Ej: [Chuckles and sighs] You still haven’t told me what happened today.

Belle: Ah, there’s a reason for that. I’m afraid if I tell you about it, I’m just gonna start screaming and crying and throwing things, so I just it’s for your safety and mine that I should probably just stick to drinking and companionable silence.

Ej: I’m sorry I’m taking so long. I have an excellent scotch that’s guaranteed to lift your spirits, but I can’t seem to find it. Oh, there it is.

[Sighs] He drank the whole bottle.

Belle: Oh, harold’s hitting the good stuff, huh?

Ej: It wasn’t harold. It was bloody clyde weston.

Belle: Why was clyde drinking your scotch? Wait, why was he even in your house?

Ben: Dad, you knew we weren’t going to name him after you.

Clyde: Yeah, but I didn’t know I’d be shoved aside for the other grandpa. I don’t suppose I made the cut for middle name either, huh?

Ben: His middle name is brady.

Clyde: Yeah, of course.

Ben: [Scoffs softly] But his last name is weston. He’s named after both of you.

Clyde: Yeah, I guess you’re right. But seeing how bo’s dead, I’m little bo’s one and only grandpa anyway, right?

Ben: Please don’t say that in front of ciara.

Clyde: Just stating the facts.

Ben: Do you want to hold him or not?

Clyde: [Chuckles] Yeah, I want to hold him.

Ben: All right. [Sighs]

Clyde: Whoa. [Chuckles] Look at you. You know what? He looks a little bit like me.

Nancy: [Laughs] No, bonnie, I am so sorry. I have plans tonight. No, listen, I made reservations at the bistro for clyde and me. Uh-huh, it’s gonna be a great night for sure, I think. Oh, I may have spoken too soon, bonnie.

[Knock at door]

Eric: Hey. How you doing?

Sarah: I just can’t believe our little girl is gone. And that xander switched our child with brady and kristen’S. And I know that it’s been years, but I–

[Sobbing]

[Slow emotional music]

Eric: It’s new. It’s new for you. Is there anything I can do to help?

Sarah: [Sniffles] I just think it’s going to take time.

Eric: How long has it been since you’ve eaten something?

Sarah: I don’t know.

Eric: You know what? There’s a pot pie on the menu tonight and you’re going to love it.

Sarah: I don’t think I can.

Eric: Please, come on. Just try it. Take a few bites.

Sarah: Just let me, um… fix my face.

Eric: All right. I’m going to wait for you downstairs, okay?

[Phone rings]

Nicole: Okay, so what kind of pie do you want?

Holly: Strawberry pie!

Nicole: That’s a summer pie.

Holly: It’s may and I got all a’s except for one B. You promised I could have anything I wanted.

Nicole: Oh, okay then. We’ll talk.

Holly: Eric!

Eric: Who is this grown-up girl?

Holly: I’m holly!

Eric: I know that! I was just kidding!

Holly: I’ve missed you.

Eric: I’ve missed you. Mmm.

Holly: Are you going to get back together with mommy?

Male announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “days of our lives.”

[Soft orchestration]

[Phone ringing]

Xander: [Groans] Damn!

Sonny: What are you doing here?

Xander: I was hoping to see sarah, but maggie said she hasn’t come back yet. I just want to make sure she’s all right.

Sonny: Something else happen?

Xander: Yeah, she’s a real wreck about it.

Sonny: About what?

Xander: It’s a long story.

Nancy: Look, bonnie, I’ll talk to you later. I’ll call you tomorrow.

Leo: I couldn’t help overhearing. Sounds like someone has a big date.

Nancy: Not that it’s any of your business.

Leo: You sure this one’s straight?

Nancy: As an arrow. Now, if you’ll excuse me. Get out of my way, leo.

Leo: I was just wondering if you’ve spoken to craig.

Nancy: What? [Scoffs] I talk to craig on a regular basis, yes.

Leo: How is he doing? I’ve left him all kinds of messages, but he never calls me back.

Nancy: Why would he? You broke his heart, leo, you little, two-timing weasel. So you know what? Why don’t you have the decency for once in your life and leave the poor man alone!

Ej: You are drinking inferior scotch because clyde showed up here shortly after we’d both gotten out of prison. He wanted to go into business together.

Belle: [Scoffs] I can only imagine what kind of business he had in mind.

Ej: And you’d be right.

Belle: Drugs? You didn’t go along with him, did you?

Ej: No, of course not.

Belle: [Chuckling] Okay. Because I know he looked after you in prison and everything, but I can’t believe he would think you would push drugs for him.

Ej: He had an ulterior motive. He thought if he got me involved in something illegal, I wouldn’t be able to turn him in to the authorities.

Belle: You could turn him in? What did he do? No matter who you are,

Nicole: Holly, honey? We talked about this. Eric is a priest again, and mommy is with rafe now.

Eric: That’s right. See, I’m just here for a short visit.

Rafe: Yeah, I thought you were going back to africa tonight.

Eric: I was, and then sarah has a new situation that she’s dealing with so I want to be here for her in any way I can to help.

Nicole: She’s been through so much and none of this is her fault.

Eric: Yeah.

Holly: What does that mean?

Rafe: Well, it means maybe we should back in the kitchen and see if there’s any strawberry pie today, hmm?

Holly: So mommy and eric can talk, right?

Nicole: [Chuckling] Oh, no wonder you get straight a’S.

Holly: And one B.

Nicole: Oh, one B. [Chuckles]

Rafe: B for “bye.”

[Laughter] Come on, kiddo.

Nicole: Aw. I just can’t believe sarah thinks her baby is alive. I told xander to man up and tell her.

Eric: Yeah, well, he didn’T. So I had to.

Nicole: Oh, eric. How did she take it? As if I didn’t know.

Eric: She was devastated, for the second time.

Nicole: She must be furious at xander.

Eric: Furious does not even begin to touch it.

Sonny: Okay, so in sarah’s mind, she just found out her baby died shortly after she was born?

Xander: Right.

Sonny: But she didn’t hear it from you?

Xander: I was only thinking of her.

Sonny: Ooh. She must really hate your guts right now.

Xander: I just need to talk to her and just tell her how she got through all this before. She ended up realizing that she still loved me and sarah would’ve married me if she hadn’t run into kristen dimera the night before the wedding.

Sonny: Xander, you can’t just make her fall in love with you again.

Xander: I know that. It’s just killing me. Watching her go through all this all over again.

Sonny: Give her some time. You know, maybe she’ll find another way to forgive you.

Xander: And if she doesn’t? Oh, I could lose sarah for good this time.

Belle: You have dirt on clyde weston? Dirt nobody knows about? Well?

Ej: I shouldn’t have said anything.

Belle: But you did and so you might as well just tell me because I’m going to keep bugging you until you do.

Ej: Whatever happened to drinking in companionable silence?

Belle: Ej, you’re my client. You know very well that i can’t breathe a word of anything you tell me in confidence, so spill it.

Ej: Ugh. It has been difficult trying to keep something like this to myself.

Belle: Well, now you can share your burden with me.

Ej: You should think long and hard about whether you want to shoulder this particular burden.

Belle: Why?

Ej: This is clyde weston we’re talking about here. If he finds out that you know what I know, it could put your life in danger.

Clyde: Yeah, I got to go get cleaned up. My lady friend’s taking me out to dinner tonight.

Ben: Oh, yeah? Sounds like it’s getting kind of serious.

Clyde: I guess you could say that.

Ben: Wow. When do I get to meet her?

Clyde: Real soon. She’s about to come pick me up.

Ben: Oh. This is going to be fun.

Clyde: Don’t you go embarrassing me, boy.

Ben: [Shushes] Me? Never even crossed my mind. Hey, dad? I’m sorry about what I said to you before. You got a job. You’re seeing a very nice lady. You turned your whole life around. I’m proud of you.

Leo: I care about craig, all right? I always will. I just want to know how he’s doing.

Nancy: You didn’t care about him when you were lying to him, so how he’s doing now is none of your business.

Leo: You don’t have to be so hostile. Just because he left your old, tired ass for me.

Nancy: [Chuckles] He left you too, didn’t he? Your little affair didn’t last too long. And you want to know why? Because craig is not stupid. And when he realized exactly what you were up to, he kicked your lying, young ass to the curb.

Leo: My love for craig was real. I loved that man with every cell in my being.

Nancy: Give me a break. If you loved him, you would’ve been honest with him. But you weren’T. Because you’re never honest. And now, leo, you have lost him forever.

Leo: Just you wait. He will forgive me someday.

Nancy: [Laughs] Oh, not a chance in hell. And you want to know why? You are going to spend the rest of your pathetic, little life all alone, mm? And it’s exactly what you deserve.

Leo: You miserable old hag! Ubrelvy helps u fight migraine attacks.

Nicole: Sarah, I didn’t know you were here.

Sarah: Oh, eric was just letting me hide in his room for a while, so.

Nicole: Oh, I see.

Sarah: I’m sorry about this morning.

Nicole: No, I understand.

Sarah: It’s just xander told me you and eric had the baby.

Nicole: I just–I can’t believe he did that.

Sarah: Me neither. Um… I was confused.

Nicole: No, no, listen, you thought I was lying about where mickey was, not to mention me cheating on eric with rafe. And I get it, I get it.

Sarah: Yeah. [Sniffles] I think it’s great that you and rafe are together together and found love and you make such a good couple.

Nicole: Thank you.

Rafe: Thanks. I think the same thing.

Sarah: I was just apologizing for earlier.

Rafe: Oh, that’s okay. Glad you’re feeling better. She was right. They did have strawberry pie today.

[All chuckle]

Nicole: How did you know that?

Holly: I had it on the last day of school last year.

Nicole: Amazing. Amazing memory. Are you ready to go home?

Holly: Bye, eric.

Nicole: Okay.

Eric: Can I have a hug? Oh. Goodbye.

Nicole: Bye, sarah. Eric.

Rafe: Have a good night.

Xander: I can’t just sit around hoping that sarah walks through the door. I’ve got to–I’ve got to find a way to get through to her.

Sonny: Didn’t you just say that she’s not taking your calls?

Xander: I bet she’s holed up at eric’S. I’m going go talk to her in person.

Sonny: Xander, xander. Sit down.

Xander: Why?

Sonny: Because whenever you get like this, you become a pushy ass, okay? Just sit down.

Xander: I’m not taking advice on my love life from the likes of you. Your husband doesn’t even live in the same state.

Sonny: Okay, well, that is only temporary.

Xander: Trust me, that’s a huge mistake. You know, giving someone too much space? You know what they say. “Out of sight, out of mind.” You should be reminding will how miserable he will be without you, which is exactly what I’m going to do for sarah right now.

Sonny: Yeah. That’ll work.

Nancy: Give that back to me, you little creep!

Leo: I thought you didn’t wear a wig.

Nancy: Oh, give it to me!

Leo: Oh, oh, who’s the liar now, huh? Maybe I’ll try going ginger for a night. Who knows? Might even steal you new boyfriend.

Nancy: Oh! Give it back to me right now! You little creep, give it to me!

Rafe: Hey, hey! What is going on here?

Nancy: Um… he has my wig.

Rafe: Give the lady back her property or I swear to god, I will run you in.

Leo: Fine. Here’s your ugly old wig. Got more important things to do, anyway.

Nancy: [Sighs] Thank you.

Rafe: I’m so sorry that happened to you. You okay?

Nancy: Yes, thank you. Everything’s fine. [Gasps]

Rafe: He goes near you again, you let me know, okay?

Nancy: Absolutely, thank you.

Rafe: All right.

Nicole: Hi, nancy.

Nancy: Hi, nicole. Oh, holly is so beautiful, nicole.

Nicole: Thank you. I think so too. [Chuckles] Well, bye. See you later.

Nancy: Thank you. Thank you.

Rafe: Yeah.

Nancy: [Sighs] You stay away from me, leo. Rafe warned you.

Leo: I forgot to tell you something. I want you to give your daughter a message for me.

Nancy: My daughter is visiting my grandson and i know she doesn’t want any messages from you.

Leo: Just tell her she’s on my list.

Nancy: What list?

Leo: You’ll soon find out.

Belle: Well, jan already has it in for me, so what’s one more target on my back?

Ej: I’m serious. Knowing what I know has made me a threat to clyde. And we both know how clyde deals with threats. That’s why I haven’t told anyone about this. If he finds out that–

Belle: He is not going to, okay? I can keep a secret. I’m just asking as your friend and your lawyer to confide in me. I got your back.

Ej: [Sighs and clears throat] All right. But let me be clear. I’m speaking to you as my attorney, not my former sister-in-law.

Belle: Got it. Okay. So tell me. What did clyde do?

Ej: I know for a fact that he is responsible for someone’s death.

Belle: Whose?

Ej: Mine. My asthma felt anything but normal.

Sonny: Oh, have you come back because you’ve finally seen the wisdom of my words?

Xander: [Scoffs] No way. This was in the foyer. It’s for you.

Sonny: Since when do you deliver packages?

Xander: What? Can’t do something nice for my own flesh and blood? And I forgot my phone.

Sonny: Ah. There it is. I figured it was something like that. Aww! It’s from will and arianna. They are congratulating me on my new job as the titan ceo. So what was that you were saying again about “out of sight, out of mind”?

Xander: Um, I believe i said something like, uh… bite me.

Sonny: Ah. See you later, buddy. Mmm.

Sarah: [Sniffles] Thank you for eating up here.

Eric: As long as you get some food in that body, I’ll eat anywhere with you.

Sarah: It was good to see nicole. Straighten everything out with her. I’m not feeling like much of a people person right now.

Eric: Makes sense.

Sarah: You’ve been so kind. Mickey was your daughter too, so it’S… probably not easy watching me relive it all.

Eric: Sarah, I’m sorry. I’m sorry you’re in so much pain. But I am glad that I’m here for you. I just want you know there’s always going to be a piece of me that grieves for mickey too.

Sarah: So you’re saying it’s always going to hurt this much?

Eric: In time, it’ll become more manageable.

Sarah: It’s kind of hard to believe you because right now, it just feels like it’s too much to bear.

Eric: Hey, it’s okay.

[Bo fussing]

Ciara: Hi.

Ben: Hey. My dad and I wake you up?

Ciara: No. No, I just heard bo fussing and I think it might be time to feed him.

[Knock at door]

Ben: I’ll get it. Must be my dad’s date.

Ciara: Oh.

Ben: Mm.

Ben: Hi.

Nancy: Hi.

Ben: Are you here to see clyde?

Nancy: Yes, I am. I’m nancy miller. You must be ben.

Ben: I am. Very nice to meet you.

Nancy: Nice to meet you too.

Ben: Come on in, please. This is my wife, ciara.

Ciara: Hi.

Nancy: Oh, hi. I know shawn went to school with my daughter.

Ciara: Oh. Oh, that’s right, you’re chloe’s mom.

Nancy: Yes. Oh, congratulations on the new baby.

Ciara: Thank you. Yeah, we are very, very happy.

Nancy: [Chuckles] You know, so was clyde. He was over in the moon, in fact. Oh, he and I were so worried about you. We were afraid that ben might lose you.

Ciara: Yeah. I was afraid of that too.

Nancy: [Sighs] He told me how much you two love each other. Oh, he was afraid if something happened to you and the baby that ben might not be able to go on.

Ben: [Sighs softly] I got my whole world under my arm right now. So what my dad said was true.

Nancy: Mm.

Clyde: What was that?

Nancy: Oh, your son was just telling me how well you know him.

Clyde: Yeah, well, I’m glad you finally met these three.

Nancy: Oh, so am I. You have a beautiful family.

Clyde: Sure do. You ready to go?

Nancy: I am. It’s nice to meet you.

Ben: Nice to meet you too. You guys have a good time. Yeah, don’t stay out too late, huh?

Ciara: Well, she seems really nice.

Ben: I know, right? Seems like he really likes her. A mugger in the park.. You’re s

Ej: He didn’t pull the trigger. He lured me to the park, threatened me when things became heated. His man shot me. And then they left me there to die.

Belle: Why would you keep this a secret?

Ej: I had no memory of this meeting until… they sent me to prison and I was put in the same cell as clyde.

Belle: Oh, my god.

Ej: And even then, it came back to me in bits and pieces. It took me a while to put the pieces together.

Belle: So clyde is out on parole when he should be doing life. Ej, you have to go to the police about this.

Ej: I can’t do that.

Belle: Why?

Ej: The reason clyde and i had that meeting in the park was because he was working for me.

Belle: Doing what?

Ej: Running drugs.

Belle: Are you kidding me?

Ej: I wish I were. I was in a state of desperation and I did something incredibly stupid. If I report clyde, he said he’s going to tell the police about me, and I’m not going back to statesville.

Belle: All right, listen. There is nothing that the cops want more than to put clyde weston behind bars. And I know that I can strike a deal where you’re not going to serve a day.

Ej: That’s not what I’m worried about. I confronted clyde before he was being released about what I remembered. He said if I turned him in, it just wouldn’t be me he would make pay. He would take it out on my entire family.

Belle: That sounds like him.

Ej: And once clyde was released, his old chum, orpheus, made sure to let me know that the threat was real.

Belle: Can’t we just send your kids and your mom into hiding or something until they get clyde behind bars?

Ej: Clyde had a network on the outside the whole time he was in prison. He would just put the word out and orpheus would back him up. I’m not having my family live with that for years on end.

Belle: Okay, but you can’t let clyde get away with this.

Ej: I’m not going to. It may take some time for my plan to be put into action, but once it is, I’m going to guarantee that clyde weston will never be able to hurt me or anyone I love ever again.

Belle: Mm. Does this plan… involve killing clyde? Ej. And tonight’s winning numbers are 18,

Belle: Listen to me. Ej, I am not talking to you as your lawyer now, I am talking to you as someone who really cares about you. Don’t be an idiot. You cannot take the law into your own hands.

Ej: Mm. I heard you call me an idiot, but I also heard you say that you really care about me.

Belle: I-I do. Of course I do. I mean, you’ve been my brother-in-law for like a zillion years.

Ej: I didn’t get the feeling that you were overly fond of me.

Belle: I wasn’T.

[Both chuckle] But, I don’t know, then I got to know you better when I took your case and… I to see you differently now that you and sami are done.

Ej: Differently how?

Belle: [Stutters] Just stop changing the subject. Listen, I just–I think you’re going down the wrong path, okay? And if you try to deal with clyde on your own, things aren’t going to work out well for you.

Ej: What do I do? Just get over the fact that clyde shot me in the back?

Belle: No, but you could let me think about it and let me figure out a legal way to bring clyde to justice.

Ej: Ugh. That seems really time-consuming.

Belle: Well, lucky you. I have a lot of time on my hands now that my marriage is on the rocks. So let’s brainstorm. And also maybe let’s get something to eat because I am completely starving and–

Ej: [Chuckling] Oh, whoa. A bit tipsy, are we?

Belle: Uh, yeah. Just a little.

Ej: I’ll get our driver to take us.

Belle: Okay.

[Clears throat]

Sonny: Hi, will and arianna. I just wanted to say I got your cookies. I’ve already had two of them and they are delicious, all right? I love you guys so much. I miss you. I’m going to call you tomorrow so we can just chat. I miss you and I love you. Okay, I’ll talk to you later. Bye.

[Phone beeps]

Leo: Good evening, jackson.

Sonny: How the hell did you get in this house?

Leo: Henderson has a little crush on me.

Sonny: Okay, well, just say what you want and then get out.

Leo: This is a peace offering. They made the fruit look like little flowers. Isn’t that cute?

Sonny: No, it looks disgusting, and so do you. Now get out before i have you thrown out.

Sarah: I hate that I’m doing this to you.

Eric: Doing what? I want to be here. I know how it feels when kristen dimera is after you. Hey. You’ll always be my friend. And you can hide out here as long as you want to.

Sarah: Thank you. [Sniffles] I may actually take you up on that, because xander keeps calling and calling and I’m sure he’s staked out at victor’s house by now.

[Knock at door] Oh, my god.

Xander: Sarah?

Sarah: [Sighs]

Xander: If you’re in there, we have to talk. Entresto is the number one heart failure brand

Sonny: I don’t have time for your games, leo.

Leo: What games? I thought a fruit basket was a lovely way to congratulate you for getting your old job back.

Sonny: Aw, oh, my god, you’re congratulating me now? Because last time I saw you, if I recall correctly, uh, you vowed to ruin my life.

Leo: Oh, that was so yesterday.

Sonny: Don’t give me that. Revenge is your favorite activity.

Leo: [Sighing] Oh. I had a run-in with the former mrs. Craig wesley. It got unpleasant. It made me realize all my anger isn’t very good for me.

Sonny: Oh, my god, you had a growing experience?

Leo: Yeah, I did. This is me turning over a new leaf.

Sonny: It’s poisoned, isn’t it?

Leo: One way to find out.

Clyde: Are you saying that this little punk actually roughed you up?

Nancy: [Chuckles weakly] It was pretty scary. If rafe hernandez hadn’t come along, I really don’t know what would’ve happened.

Clyde: Well, listen, if we’re together and you see this leo, you point him out to me, okay?

Nancy: Well, I think rafe made it pretty clear to him that he should leave me alone, but it’s very sweet of you to be so protective.

Clyde: Well, sure I am. You’re my woman. Which I mean in the most respectful way, ma’am.

Nancy: I really don’t want to talk about leo anymore. You know, it was so nice to meet ben and ciara. Oh, and the baby. Oh. But you didn’t tell me how goodooking ben was.

[Both chuckle] You know, he could’ve been a model or a movie star.

Clyde: Yeah. Well, you might say good looks run in the family.

Nancy: Aw. [Chuckles]

Nicole: You want me to tuck you in?

Holly: I’m not a baby.

Nicole: Aw. But you’re my baby.

Holly: Thank you, rafe, for helping me get the pie.

Rafe: Oh, yeah. Anytime, kiddo.

Nicole: [Chuckles]

Rafe: Did I mention that i have a present for you?

Holly: A present?

Rafe: Oh, I guess I didn’T.

Nicole: Oh my goodness.

Rafe: Your mom said that you wanted to have a dog, but they wouldn’t let you have a dog in the dumb building, so hopefully this helps.

Holly: He’s so cute! I love him!

Rafe: Yay.

Nicole: And?

Holly: Thank you so much.

Rafe: Of course. Oh!

Nicole: [Chuckles]

Rafe: [Chuckling] Aw.

Xander: Sarah, please. I have to talk to you.

Eric: Do you want me to get rid of him?

Sarah: No. He’s just going to keep coming back. Might as well suck it up and get it over with.

Xander: I want to talk to sarah alone, please.

Sarah: Eric, you stay. You, say what you need to say and then go.

Xander: First, I’m just so sorry I– I didn’t know how to tell you about mickey and I lied and… that was wrong. It’s not the first time I’ve mucked things up between us.

Sarah: You didn’t just “muck things up” between us, xander. You played god with my life. Let me get attached to a child that wasn’t mine instead of just grieving for the one that I lost. And then you lied about it.

Xander: All I can say is I was not… trying to hurt you.

Sarah: Everybody has tragedies in their life, but the only way to get over them is to go through it. I don’t think that you understand how people live.

Xander: I’ll change. I will. I’ll learn. I’ll– I’ll do anything if it means you can forgive me.

Sarah: That’s impossible.

Xander: You did it before.

Sarah: Don’t you know that I am not the same woman anymore?

Xander: But we were– we were going to get married, we were so happy.

Sarah: I don’t know what I could’ve been thinking back then because there is no way that I could ever marry you now.

From prom dresses

Clyde: These are for you.

Nancy: Oh. You said you were going to put money in the parking meter.

Clyde: I lied.

Nancy: Oh. That’s the kind of lie I can live with.

[Both chuckle]

[Electronic beep] Oh. Our reservation’s ready.

Clyde: Oh, great. Well, looks like I’m not the only person with a hot date tonight.

Belle: You two are dating?

Nancy: Mm-hmm. Yes, we are. Oh, are you two–

Belle: Oh, no, it’s just a work thing.

Ej: Mm-mm.

Clyde: Yeah, well, whatever it is, you have a good time, huh?

[Clyde pats ej’s shoulder]

Belle: What do you think that was about?

Ej: I would very much like to know.

Sarah: You said your piece, so go.

Xander: Well, at least let me drive you home. Maggie’s worried sick about you.

Sarah: I’ll call her. I can’t go back to that house right now. There’s too many bad memories.

Xander: So… what are you going to do?

Sarah: Eric said that i can stay here as long as I want.

Xander: And the vatican’s cool with that?

Sarah: Xander!

Eric: I’m not even going to dignify that with a response. Sarah asked you to leave.

Sarah: Now.

Xander: Fine. But you should know I’m– I’m not giving up. I’m not going to lose you.

[Door slams]

Nicole: Oh, she fell asleep with that cute, little doggie tucked right beside her.

Rafe: Aw.

Nicole: Cute. [Chuckles]

Rafe: I’ve got a present for you too.

Nicole: Oh, you do?

Rafe: I do.

Nicole: Mm.

[Gasps]

Rafe: Mm-hmm.

Nicole: Oh, you bought me another duke.

Rafe: Yeah, I don’t know whether to call him duke jr. Or duke ii.

Nicole: Okay, how many times did it take you to win him for me?

Rafe: I refuse to answer that on the grounds that I may embarrass myself.

Nicole: Aww. That just makes him more dear to me.

Rafe: Aw. Well, this version has something extra.

Nicole: Oh, this bear’s accessorized?

Rafe: Yeah. Check in his pocket.

Nicole: His pocket. Okay. Okay. Oh, my god.

Leo: See? Still fit as a fiddle. There is nothing wrong with this fruit. In fact, it’s delicious.

[Phone chimes]

Sonny: “What cookies? We didn’t send you anything.”

[Dramatic music]

Leo: Jackson, is something wrong?

Sonny: It was…it was you.

[Sonny thuds]

Leo: [Sighs] I told you there is nothing wrong with the fruit! Now the cookies, on the other hand, clearly a health hazard.

[Tense music]

Days of Our Lives Transcript

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[Ringing]

Kristen: Hey, kids. You didn’t forget about me, did you?

Ej: Kristen?

Gabi: What the hell are you doing here?

Kristen: I heard there was going to be a meeting of the dimera shareholders. And, uh… well, you should know you can’t have a vote without kristen dimera.

Belle: You think you’re gonna come in here and steal my husband because you’re a sick, twisted human being with a heart of stone.

Jan: Back off! You’re upsetting me!

Belle: And your insane, pathetic plan is never gonna work! Do you hear me? Never!

Shawn: Belle! What is going on?

Jan: She just came in here out of nowhere and started screaming at me.

Belle: Please would you stop? She asked me to come over here.

Shawn: Why?

Belle: Because she wants to turn my office into a nursery.

Shawn: Is that true, jan?

Jan: The baby needs somewhere to sleep. I was just being practical.

Belle: Practical. I think the word is evil, as if you haven’t done enough. Can’t you see what she’s doing, shawn? She’s trying to drive us further and further apart. It is her goal in life, it always has been.

Jan: Yeah, well, actually, why would I bother to drive you and shawn further apart when you’re already doing such a fine job of it yourself?

Allie: What do you mean, you just got your answer?

Tripp: I asked you before if you still love chanel. I saw the way you jumped into each other’s arms just now.

Allie: Yeah, I was emotional and relieved.

Tripp: Yeah, but the feelings you had for her, they’re not in the past, are they?

Johnny: I haven’t stopped thinking about you. Not for one minute.

Chanel: We shouldn’t do this.

Johnny: I just want to remind you. I just want to remind you what I said to my family when we first got back to salem. I said that I was totally committed to you, and that’s still true. Chanel, I wanna… I wanna be there for you. I wanna help you, I wanna support you through everything, through all of this. And I still love you, chanel.

[Whispers] I missed you so much.

Chanel: Oh, I missed you too.

Johnny: Hey, uh…[Ahem] You got any plans tonight?

Chanel: No. Why?

Johnny: Let’s get married again.

Male announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “days of our lives.”

[Soft orchestration]

Chanel: You want to get married…tonight?

[Exhales]

Johnny: Look, I-I know that it seems sudden, but–

Chanel: It is sudden.

Johnny: And I get that, okay? But when I was chained up in that crypt, allie… or t-the devil, he made sure that I knew that I, as the devil… I signed those divorce papers, and that’s–

Chanel: And you don’t remember anything that happened after that?

Johnny: No, no, I don’t remember anything until the devil jumped out of me into belle and then allie. Before that, we were newlyweds. We were in love, right?

Chanel: We were.

Johnny: God. I just remember being so happy. I wanted to tell the whole world. I want us to be that way again. Don’t you?

Jan: I am worried that all of this tension is not good for the baby.

Belle: And who the hell created all this tension? Who called me over here just to provoke me?

Shawn: Jan, can I have a moment alone with belle please?

Jan: Well, I’m the one on bedrest.

Belle: Actually, I would like jan to hear the answer to this.

Shawn: Hear what?

Belle: The answer to the question. Do you want me to move out of my office?

Shawn: What? No! No. Absolutely not. I would never ask you to do that. That space is yours, belle.

Jan: Okay. Well, then I guess our baby will have to sleep in claire’s room. And since I’ll have nowhere else to go, I’ll move in to yours. Are we all cool with that?

Kristen: Well, fam, I’m trying not to be offended that no one bothered to tell me about this meeting.

Ej: We didn’t know where to find you.

Chad: Yeah, how’d you even hear about it? We scheduled this like two hours ago.

Kristen: Well, I have my ways. But what’s important is that I’m here, right?

Gabi: Yeah, well, you’re a little late to the party, kristen.

Kristen: How so?

Chad: The votes are already in–another vote for us isn’t gonna change the outcome.

Gabi: I’m already out of the company.

Kristen: Oh.

Jake: The vote is six to five in favor of installing chad and ej as ceos. Your vote’ll make it seven.

Kristen: Well, not if I vote against the motion. Like pulsing, electric shocks,

Chanel: A part of me wants to just go running back into your arms and pretend like the last couple of months didn’t happen. But…they did. I can’t just let go of what happened at that party, or after.

Johnny: That wasn’t even me. Wh-wh…what if we could just turn back time to when we were happy and hopeful? And allie and tripp were too?

Chanel: How could we do that?

Johnny: I don’t know. I don’t know, but if you think about it, nothing’s really changed since then.

Chanel: Yes, it has. I mean, the world didn’t stop just because you don’t remember it. You know, things changed, people changed. They grew together…apart. And one thing that happened was that allie realized that she was bi.

Johnny: So?

Chanel: Well, when I thought that you didn’t want me, and tripp broke things off with allie, she and I… we decided to try to see if we can make things work with–

Johnny: Yeah, I know, I know, I know.

Chanel: But then I thought that she broke up with me, but now I know that she didn’T. Not anymore than you did. And g, I still love you.

Johnny: I love you too.

Chanel: But I–

Johnny: But, but, but what?

Chanel: I also love your sister.

Allie: Chanel and I hadn’t seen each other since I almost died. Since she realized that everything I’ve been doing and saying the past few weeks hasn’t really been me.

Tripp: You mean when she thought you dumped her and told her that you didn’t love her?

Allie: Yes.

Tripp: Chanel still loves you, allie. That was pretty clear to me. And you love her too, don’t you?

Allie: Yes. I do.

Belle: There is no way in hell that you are going to sleep in my bedroom. And why wouldn’t you want to sleep in the same room with your baby?

Jan: Because I read that it’s better for the child to sleep in his or her own room. It makes them less reliant on the parent, more able to self-sooth.

Belle: Wow. You just made that up. Jan, newborns wake up constantly needing to be fed and changed, so obviously it makes sense to sleep in the same room with them for the first few months.

Jan: Oh, the baby’s kicking again. Shawn, do you want to feel?

Belle: Ugh, don’t look at me.

Jan: Of course, she doesn’t want you to feel your baby moving around in another woman’s womb. Not that you had a chance with claire either since you thought she was philip’s baby.

Belle: Oh, you hateful bitch! You wanna start this?

Jan: Are you threatening me? Are you gonna let her threaten me?

Shawn: Listen to me. Everybody’s upset here, okay? Can we just– can we just be civil?

Jan: I know I can.

Belle: Ha. Yeah, right.

Jan: So, how did it go with ciara, shawn? Did she say I can babysit little bo?

Shawn: She was sleeping, so i didn’t get a chance to ask her.

Belle: Are you serious? I thought she was joking. You think ciara wants some homicidal maniac looking after her baby?

Jan: She’s married to ben weston.

Shawn: Jan, serious–

Jan: I’m sorry, but…[Huffs] It’s not like I’m gonna be alone with little bo. Shawn will be with me. Sorry, did I not make that clear? And as I explained to shawn, I really think that it’ll help prepare me for having our child.

Belle: Except you won’t be raising your child because your baby’s gonna be a teenager by the time you get out of prison!

Jan: Well, I don’t know about that.

Belle: Okay. I can see that jan is harboring the delusion that somehow the judge is just gonna throw out her sentence after the baby’s born.

Jan: I was thinking more of a suspension of the sentence.

Belle: Not a chance.

Jan: What? So you think I’m just gonna give birth and you’re gonna hustle me back to prison? So, what, so then you can raise my kid? Never! That is not going to happen! I am going to raise my own baby!

Belle: Oh, no, you’re not! And I am gonna make sure of it.

Ej: Kristen, obviously you wouldn’t vote against me and chad.

Chad: You’re joking, right, kristen?

Kristen: Does it look like I’m joking?

Ej: We’re your brothers.

Kristen: Ha ha ha ha! So I suppose, um, no one in this family has ever gone against their siblings before?

Ej: What is she doing?

Chad: I don’t know.

Jake: Kristen, you understand that if you vote against the motion–

Kristen: That would make it a tie, six-six. Yes, I can do the math.

Shin: A tie would mean it doesn’t pass.

Gabi: Which means I retain control of dimera and jake keeps his job.

Kristen: Oh! So it does.

Ej: Kristen…

Kristen: [Laughs] Mr. Shin, may I register my vote?

Shin: Whenever you’re ready.

Kristen: Then I hereby vote nay on the motion. Gabi, jake, congratulations to the both of you.

[Edgy music]

From prom dresses

Allie: I grew up in a crazy family. I always had my mom, who had a revolving door of husbands and boyfriends, and all I cared about was not being like her. I wanted to settle down… make a stable family with someone kind who treats me well. Loves my kid.

Tripp: Kind, stable, reliable tripp. That’s me.

Allie: That’s not what i meant.

Tripp: I know what you meant. I didn’t exactly grow up in a stable home myself. I had to work hard to be the kinda guy you can depend on.

Allie: You are the best person I know, tripp. I really thought you, me, henry, we could be a family.

Tripp: A normal family?

Johnny: Oh. So you’re saying you only married me because you thought you couldn’t have my sister?

Chanel: No, no, I-I’m just saying that in the last couple of months I got dumped by you, dumped by allie, and then I got drunk and I almost jumped into bed with tripp.

Johnny: Yeah, all based on lies! Told by the devil!

Chanel: Okay, I haven’t even been able to process that yet.

Johnny: Yeah, yeah, I know how you feel.

Chanel: And now my mom is in jail for killing lani’s dad. I don’t know what’s up, what’s down–

Johnny: But you do. You love me.

Chanel: Yes. But I-I just feel like I’m not ready to make any major decisions right now. You understand that, don’t you?

Ej: Are we really going to allow my sister to hijack this meeting?

Gabi: Well, isn’t that what you did?

Chad: This can’t be valid, right?

Shin: A vote’s a vote, chad.

Ej: Kristen’s a fugitive from justice. She’s wanted for a myriad of crimes.

Shin: Well, there’s a variety of infractions in the bylaws that might suppress a shareholder from voting. Criminality isn’t among them. Stefano made sure of that.

Kristen: Thanks, father.

Ej: Kristen, what are you thinking? You’re our sister!

Kristen: And jake’S.

Chad: You don’t even know him.

Kristen: Ha ha. Yeah, you’re right about that.

Ej: Then why the hell are you doing this?

Kristen: Besides the fact that it’s so much fun?

Jan: What are you saying, belle? That you would stop me from seeing my baby just to keep me away from shawn?

Belle: What I am saying is that you’re unfit to be a mother and I will petition the court if it means protecting that baby.

Jan: Shawn, you’re– you’re gonna let that happen?

Shawn: Listen to me, okay? That’s months away, all right? So why can’t we all just sit here and–

Jan: No, she hates this baby and I don’t want her anywhere near it!

Belle: Oh, I don’t hate your baby! I hate you!

Jan: Well, too bad. Because I am having your husband’s baby, and we are going to be parents together forever.

Belle: You stay out of my marriage, you lying, vindictive, psychotic–

Jan: Aah!

[Gasps, whimpers]

Shawn: Jan, what is it? What? What’s wrong?

Jan: It’s the baby. Something’s wrong. When it comes to pain medicine,

Shawn: Wait, wait, what’s wrong? Are you in pain?

Jan: Yes. Oh, god, it’s horrible pain, it’s–it’s right here.

Belle: How long has this been going on?

Jan: It started when you started yelling at me.

Shawn: Okay, belle, would you please get her some water, please? Please?

Jan: No, no, I don’t need water. I need to go to the hospital.

Shawn: Okay, come on, all right, let’s get you to the hospital then, come on.

Jan: Oh, god. Shawn.

Shawn: Come on, I got you. Come on.

Jan: Don’t let anything happen to our baby.

Allie: Why did you say it like that? What do you mean “a normal family”?

Tripp: I’M… wondering if maybe part of the reason life with me was so appealing to you was because you didn’t have to deal with your other feelings. You didn’t have to deal with being bi.

Allie: I don’t have a problem with being bi.

Tripp: Well, you kept saying you were straight until I was out of the picture.

Allie: Yeah, I was figuring things out, but–

Tripp: Allie, face it. Being with chanel is a lot more complicated than being with me.

Allie: Sure. Yeah, for a lot of reasons, but being gay is not one of them.

Tripp: What are the reasons?

Allie: First of all, we work together. Also, she’s neither stable nor dependable.

Tripp: She’s unpredictable and exciting, like you.

Johnny: I know. Believe me, my…my head’s been spinning too.

Chanel: Then why rush into anything?

Johnny: I guess because i know that nothing’s guaranteed. I spent so long fighting in that crypt just trying to get back to you. And then I–and then I come back and I find out I’ve divorced you and you’ve moved on with my sister?

Chanel: And now you’re saying you want a do-over?

Johnny: Yeah, yeah, is that crazy?

Chanel: No. It’S… it’s sweet. You’re sweet.

Johnny: I’m sweet? So… so you’re saying that’S… that’s not a no?

Chanel: It’s not a no. It’s just A… “can we wait and see?”

Kristen: Do you really have to ask why I’m not on your side, ej? Need I remind you the last time I was in police custody, you refused to represent me?

Ej: I sent you an attorney.

Kristen: A stranger. You wouldn’t even come to the police station to check on me. Am I really that much of an embarrassment to the family?

Chad: Kristen, look, maybe you want to punish ej, and he probably deserves it–

Ej: Thanks, brother.

Chad: But haven’t you punished me enough already? I mean, my wife could’ve died.

Kristen: Stop. Ha ha. I took excellent care of abigail.

Chad: You drugged and abducted her!

Kristen: To an island paradise where she could decompress from the pressures of the hortons, those kids of yours, and you.

Chad: She wasn’t looking for a vacation.

Kristen: No, she was looking to stick her nose into other people’s business.

Chad: Oh, I see–now it’s her fault.

Kristen: I’m just saying if you’re still that angry about what I did, the last thing you would want is to be beholden to me over this vote.

Chad: Got it–you’re doing me a favor. Great. Thank you.

Kristen: That’s right. I am protecting you from being a hypocrite for accepting my help. Besides, we both know if i hadn’t eluded you on that island, you would’ve had me arrested.

Gabi: She’s got a point, chad.

Chad: Yeah.

Kristen: Thank you, gabi. I know who my real friends are and aren’T.

Ej: Gabi hernandez is not your friend.

Gabi: Oh, uh, I am now.

Kristen: And she brought in jake, which means the company will still have a dimera presence.

Ej: Ha. Dimera lite.

Jake: Oh! I’m just as much a dimera as you two clowns are. And neither of you were raised in the family.

Gabi: Uh, excuse me! Have we all conveniently forgotten that I, too, am a dimera? I mean, I’m stefan dimera’s widow–hello!

Chad: Ha ha. Yeah.

Kristen: And I’m the most dimera of all of you. Even if I’m not blood-related. My father raised me right. So as for all of you, sayonara, suckers.

[Uneasy music]

Ej: [Exhales]

I have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

Johnny: Chanel, y-you wanna know if I can wait and see how–

Belle: Johnny, what are you doing here?

Johnny: Uh…chanel and i just came to check on tripp.

Belle: Oh, is he okay?

Johnny: Yeah. Yeah, I think so, uh… allie’s in with him right now, so…

Chanel: I-I’m sure he’s probably feeling better already since he and horton are probably getting back together as we speak.

Allie: I have no idea what chanel is going to do.

Tripp: Doesn’t really matter to me. All I know is is that I want to be with someone who loves me with their whole heart.

Allie: Of course you do. And, tripp, you deserve that. You deserve everything. I mean… I can’t stop thinking about what you did for me. And you…you were willing to risk your life so that I could keep mine.

Tripp: I’d do it again. Because I think the world is a much better place with you in it. It doesn’t mean you owe me anything.

Allie: Is that why you think I’m here? Out of…obligation?

Tripp: I think that you’re grateful… and that you care about me. But I don’t think you’re in love with me.

Allie: Tripp–

Tripp: Allie, it’s okay. It’s okay to let me go. And, honestly… it’d be the nicest thing that you could do for me.

[Machinery beeping]

Allie: [Sniffling] So what is this? Goodbye?

Jan: I’m so scared, shawn.

Shawn: I know, I know. But you heard what the doctor said. Cramping at this point in the pregnancy is perfectly normal, especially when you overexert yourself. That’s why bedrest is so important.

Jan: Yeah, well, I wasn’t in the middle of a cross-fit class when this happened.

Shawn: Yeah, but you weren’t exactly relaxed either.

Jan: I wasn’t relaxed because belle was attacking me and trying to take away my baby.

Shawn: Hey, see, you’re gonna get yourself worked up again.

Jan: How? How could I not be upset?

Shawn: Because. Because everything is gonna be fine.

Jan: Well, that’s what they keep saying too, but I just– I can’t help think what if I lost this baby? I already love our child so much, shawn.

Shawn: Everything’s gonna be okay, jan, all right?

Gabi: Well, that is that. The motion to install chad and ej dimera as ceos in my stead is defeated.

Shin: Congratulations, gabi, jake.

Gabi: Thank you, li.

Jake: Appreciate it.

Ej: This is insane. I know you all know that.

Gabi: No, you know what I know is that you’re in my office, and I’d like for you to leave.

Jake: Yeah, so should i escort you to the lobby, or do you prefer security?

Chad: I wouldn’t enjoy this so much if I were you, brother.

Jake: No? Why not? You certainly enjoyed it when you ousted me.

Ej: I did, and I definitely will again.

Jake: Oh I don’t doubt that. Until then, I’ll walk you out personally.

Chad: Yeah, that’s fine. We’re leaving.

Ej: But just don’t think you’ve seen the last of us.

Gabi: Wouldn’t dream of it, fellas–just don’t let the door hit you on the ass on the way out.

Shin: If you’ll excuse me, I have to make some phone calls.

Gabi: Oh, of course.

Jake: Well! Huh?

Gabi: Well, I-I didn’t think that kristen was gonna come through–I mean, especially ’cause I thought I was gone.

Jake: We did it, gabi.

Gabi: We did! I was on an antidepressant,

Jan: What are you doing here?

Belle: I came by to see how you’re doing.

Jan: Like you care.

Belle: What did the doctor say?

Shawn: That she’s fine. It was just some cramping and maybe some dehydration.

Jan: No, it was stress. Stress caused by you. I don’t want her here, shawn. She’s just gonna start attacking me and trying to take over my baby.

Shawn: Jan, just–

Jan: No, please, shawn. Make her leave.

Shawn: Look, belle, can you–

Belle: Oh, my–you don’t have to say it, it’s okay.

Shawn: No, can you and i go grab a cup of coffee so that we can talk?

Belle: No. No, you need to be here for your child and I, uh… I need to be anywhere else.

Chad: Kristen kidnaps my wife and then punishes me for family loyalty?

Ej: She took such glee in it.

Chad: You happy now, father? Huh? We’re doing exactly what you taught us to do. We’re tearing each other apart!

Ej: I suppose this explains peter’s flip. Kristen obviously got to him.

Chad: Now what do we do?

Ej: I’m not sure yet. But one thing I do know is I’m not stopping until dimera is my– until dimera is ours.

[Door opens]

Gabi: Wait a minute, uh… we cannot leave li out of the celebration!

Shin: I’m happy for you.

Gabi: Thank you. I was so certain that I was out.

Shin: Well, there’s never a dull moment with the dimeras.

Gabi: I just–I don’t even know why kristen did it.

Jake: Obviously, she knows you’re the best person for the job.

Gabi: Li, we were supposed to go out and celebrate the pinehurst deal. Now we have even more to celebrate.

Shin: Indeed we do.

Gabi: Why don’t we get started with some drinks first?

Jake: Sounds good to me!

Gabi: Uh…well, actually, I-I meant me and li.

Jake: Ah. You don’t want me there.

Gabi: Obviously I’m grateful to you for closing the deal. I just– I have to get you up to speed on the oakdale project, and, uh, and you have to start running the numbers for next year.

Jake: You know, what is it, gabi? One minute you’re trying to restart things with us. The next you’re trying to freeze me out.

Gabi: Uh, that was before the vote, okay? Now that we’re working together, we should keep things strictly professional. I mean, that’s what you wanted, isn’t it?

Jake: Well, yes, but–

Gabi: You were very clear about the position of our status. And I’m keeping it that way.

Shin: All right…now that that’s settled, shall we?

Gabi: We shall. Oh!

Shin: Thank you, jake.

Tripp: Of course this isn’t goodbye. I will always be a part of my nephew’s life, and yours. As a friend.

Allie: I don’t wanna lose you, tripp.

Tripp: You won’T. Not ever. We’re bonded for life.

[Allie giggles] You know, what that looks like moving forward… we’ll figure that out, together. I promise, okay?

Allie: Okay. Thank– thank you for everything, tripp. I will never forget any of it. Not any part.

[Sniffling]

Tripp: Neither will I.

Johnny: So you think that allie and tripp are in there getting back together?

Chanel: I know horton better than anyone else in the world.

[Beep beep]

Johnny: Not better than me. Trust me.

Chanel: What’s wrong?

Johnny: Uh… my dad and uncle chad called a shareholder meeting. They were planning to take back dimera enterprises from gabi hernandez.

Chanel: Okay?

Johnny: My dad promised me a job, but it sounds like the whole thing just…went up in flames, so…

Chanel: Well, you didn’t really want that job, did you?

Johnny: What else do I have? My deadbeat producer was murdered, my movie’s on the scrap heap, my life is basically imploding.

Chanel: I’m really sorry.

Johnny: Hey, I-I didn’t–

[Sighs] I didn’t mean to lay all that on you. Um… to be honest, this is just all…it’s kinda new to me. You know, with girls it’s always come easy. I-I’ve never had to be, uh, patient before.

Chanel: So are you saying that you’re willing to wait?

Johnny: I’m saying if there’s any chance at all with us… that you are more than worth the wait.

Chanel: There is definitely a chance. I do love your sister, but I still love you too. Ubrelvy helps u fight migraine attacks.

Chanel: Horton.

Johnny: Hey.

Chanel: Are you okay?

Allie: Yeah, I’ll be okay.

Johnny: What happened?

Allie: Tripp and I, um… just kind of ended things.

Johnny: Oh.

Allie: Not like they weren’t already over, but it was just– anyway, we’re done.

[Sniffling]

Chanel: Um, I-I said that I was I gonna go back to the bakery like an hour ago, so…I should, uh… I should head out.

[Elevator bell dings] See you soon.

Johnny: See you.

Allie: See you.

Shawn: There you go.

Jan: Thank you.

Shawn: All right, so you got your water, you got your remote, you got your phone, um… I dunno, anything else you need?

Jan: You.

Shawn: Jan.

Jan: I– I didn’t mean it like that. I’m just still kind of shaken up. Look, I…I’m sorry I made you send belle away.

Shawn: Listen, I do not wanna discuss belle with you, okay?

Jan: Okay. Okay, I get that. But I didn’t do it to hurt you, shawn. I-I did it to protect our baby. I don’t want anything to happen to him or her. And I’m sure you don’t either.

Shawn: I don’T.

Jan: Well, as long as you keep belle away from me and our precious child, we’ll both be fine.

Ej: Belle.

Belle: How did the meeting go–is that a celebratory drink I hope?

Ej: No. This is a drowning-my-sorrows drink.

Belle: You lost?

Ej: We lost.

Belle: H-how did that happen?

Ej: Uh…kristen showed up, virtually, and ruined our best-laid plans.

Belle: So she voted for gabi?

Ej: Mm-hmm.

Belle: Why?

Ej: As far as I can tell, just to spite me and chad.

Belle: I’m so sorry. I know how much you wanted that. But, hey, if it’s any consolation, jan spears just did the same thing to my marriage. Although, it wasn’t virtual.

Ej: That’s not a consolation. That’s terrible. Care for a drink?

Belle: I’ve never cared for something more in my life. Make it strong, will you?

Ej: Mm-hmm. Want to talk about it?

Belle: No. I really don’T.

Ej: Fair enough. There we go.

Belle: Thank you.

Ej: What would you like to talk about?

Belle: Oh, I don’t know. I was kind of hoping we could just sit here, wallow in our mutual misery.

Ej: [Chuckling] Gladly. Tonight, we wallow and hope that tomorrow is a better day.

Gabi: You know, I never took you for a cosmo guy.

Shin: Well, I’m very secure in my manhood.

Gabi: I noticed.

Shin: Although…I’m not quite sure how my manhood feels about the dynamics between you and jake.

Gabi: What about us?

Shin: Gabi. If I’m just here to make him jealous–

Gabi: That’s not what this is. You’re here because I want you to be here.

Shin: Are you sure?

Gabi: Jake ended our relationship–I mean, he’s made it very clear multiple times that we are through.

Shin: Well, he seemed to be second-guessing that choice just now.

Gabi: He just doesn’t like to lose. Plus, if he really cared he wouldn’t be wasting his time with the likes of ava vitali.

Shin: Ava vitali… of the vitali mafia family?

Gabi: The one and only.

Shin: [Laughs] Ugh. It’s an interesting choice.

Gabi: His taste in women leaves a lot to be desired.

Shin: Well, not always.

Gabi: Is that you complimenting me?

Shin: Not very well…if, uh, you have to ask. But I…do have a question.

Gabi: Okay.

Shin: In terms of mixing business and pleasure, what would you call what we’re doing right now?

Gabi: Well, I– I don’t work with you on a daily basis and I don’t hate you, so it’s all good in my book.

Shin: You’re saying you’re available?

Gabi: I could be.

Shin: Well, then…ganbei.

Gabi: Excuse me?

Shin: Cheers. To us. Mmm.

[Computer rings]

Jake: Kristen.

Kristen: Mmm. Hello, little brother.

Jake: If you’re looking for the rest of the gang, they left. Half of them went to celebrate, half of them to curse you.

Kristen: [Chuckles] I’m aware.

Jake: How?

Kristen: Best not to ask. Hmm. Besides, I wanted to talk to you.

Jake: That right?

Kristen: Ah, I thought we could have a little chat. Here we are, brother, sister, stefano’s offspring, more or less.

Jake: So what? You’re looking for a little sibling bonding?

Kristen: Yes, something like that.

Jake: What do you have in mind? Axe-throwing? Ropes course? Bike built for two?

Kristen: Ha ha ha. No, I’m more of a practical type. And something tells me so are you.

Jake: What do you want, kristen?

Days of Our Lives Transcript

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[Phone beeps]

Belle: Shawn?

Jan: Actually, it’s jan.

Belle: What do you want?

Jan: We need to talk. It’s important.

Belle: Well, I’m working. So what is it about?

Jan: Well, if you wanna find out, you’re gonna have to come to me. You know where I live. Gotta go.

[Phone beeps]

Shawn: Who are you talking to?

Ej: I haven’t always been the best father to you, giovanni. Especially of late. And yet, you still came through for me. I can’t tell you how much that means.

Johnny: Yeah. The papers are all signed, so you wanna shake on it?

Ej: [Chuckles] We can do better than that.

Johnny: Okay.

Ej: I love you, son. And I thank you.

Johnny: Well, it was the– I was the least I could do, given everything, you know, that I put you through. I still feel a little guilty.

Ej: Don’T. Don’T. It’s not your fault. I’m just glad that you’re back, healthy and whole.

Johnny: Me too, dad. Me too. I’ll see you. Uncle chad.

Chad: Johnny.

Ej: Good news. My son has given me his proxy and he’s agreed to vote his shares with ours.

Chad: Well, we’re well on our way of getting rid of gabi once and for all.

Ej: [Sighs]

Gabi: Hi, I wanted to make a reservation for tonight. Yes. Yes, tonight. The best table that you have, please. And the best champagne. You know what? Could you add candles and flowers? The whole deal. Yeah, it’s a big night. We have a lot to celebrate. Thank you.

[Phone beeps]

Jake: Let’s get started, huh?

Gabi: Oh, you’re not gonna apologize for being late on the first day?

Jake: Not my fault, okay? I was here on time in hr all morning filling out paperwork. Now that I’m here, let’s get to it, huh?

Gabi: Welcome back to dimera enterprises.

Jake: Yeah, you know…

[Chuckles] Now that I’m here, I’m starting to think that this was all maybe–

Gabi: Maybe what? What?

Jake: A big mistake.

Gabi: [Sighs]

[Monitor beeping]

Tripp: No, mom. I’m fine, really. No, you don’t have to come up here. You were here all night watching me sleep. And I appreciate that. But now you need to go home and get some rest. I will. Love you too.

[Phone beeps]

[Tense music]

Male announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “days of our lives.”

[Soft orchestration]

Tripp: Hey.

Allie: Hey.

Tripp: How you feeling?

Allie: I’m fine. But you look–

Tripp: Terrible, I know. But now, I’m– I’m much better now. How’s henry? He’s good. He’s with my dad at the park.

Tripp: Lucas is in town?

Allie: Yeah.

Tripp: Don’t you wanna hang with them?

Allie: No. I wanted to come see you, tripp. To thank you for saving my life.

Chanel: [Crying softly] Oh, god.

[Sniffs] Okay, pull it together, chanel. Okay. You need to be strong now. Okay.

[Exhales] Oh, my god, johnny.

Johnny: Sorry.

Chanel: [Inhales sharply]

Johnny: Hey, you okay?

Chanel: Yeah. I’m just a nervous wreck because my mother– I just finished seeing her down at the police station.

[Sniffs]

Johnny: Yeah, I… heard she was arrested. I’m so sorry.

Chanel: It just doesn’t feel real, you know, that mama shot and killed someone– and not just anyone, lani’s biological father.

[Sighs]

Johnny: How’s she doing?

Chanel: She’s putting on a brave face. You know, saying everything’s gonna be okay. But what if it’s not, g? What if they take her to prison? It’s not right. Mama is not some dangerous criminal. She’s a mother. My mother.

[Crying softly]

Jan: I was on the phone with a salesperson, about to order the most adorable baby outfit. I wanted to surprise you, so–

Shawn: Isn’t it a little early to be buying baby clothes?

Jan: It’s not for our baby, silly, it’s for ciara’S. I know you’d wanna give your sister something special to celebrate her son’s arrival. And since you have done so much for me, I thought I could do something for you. Aren’t you gonna thank me for being so thoughtful?

Shawn: Thanks. Yeah, you’re all heart.

[Tense music]

Ej: Ah, if it isn’t our intrepid counselor.

Belle: Oh, someone’s in a good mood.

Chad: Johnny gave ej the green light to vote his shares.

Ej: Mm-hmm.

Belle: Ah, and now ej has his own shares back as well.

Ej: Is that official?

Belle: Yes, sir. I filed the papers this morning. As for the shareholders’ meeting you’re planning to call today, I also have signed proxies from all the board members who can’t attend– theo, tony, kate.

Ej: And I have johnny’S.

Belle: And I reached out to you brother, peter blake, and he’s gonna join via video conference.

Ej: And not only intrepid, but also thorough. Thank you very much, belle.

Belle: Well, I just wanna do my part to make things right. You never should have been ousted from dimera.

Ej: Well, now I am ready to reclaim my rightful place at the helm of my father’s company with my brother by my side, of course. I must say, while I was languishing in prison, I never dreamed we’d find a way to put our differences aside.

Belle: Hmm. How did you manage that?

Ej: I apologized to chad for all the ways that I hurt him. I suggested that we put our animosity behind us, join forces, and take back what’s ours.

Belle: And you did that.

Ej: That’s right. There’s no more division, deception, or secrets. We’re a team now. A dynamic duo who will soon be running dimera together.

[Tense atmospheric music]

Gabi: Are you having second thoughts?

Jake: Look, you promised me if I came back, the relationship between us would be strictly platonic.

Gabi: And?

Jake: I don’t think you meant it.

Gabi: [Scoffs] Yes, jake, I meant it.

Jake: Then why did I just overhear you making a phone call to a restaurant making reservations for a very special occasion with flowers, champagne, candles?

Gabi: [Sighs] And you think that was for you?

Jake: Wasn’t it?

Gabi: No.

Jake: Come on, gabi. Just admit it.

Gabi: Admit what? The reservation wasn’t for you.

Jake: Who was it for, then?

Gabi: [Laughs] It was for him.

[Tense music]

With depression, you just feel…blah. a picture of him? Ciara’s baby? I just–I wanna be able to picture the little cutie in his outfit. But if I’m asking too much, it’s okay.

Shawn: There he is right there.

Jan: Shawn, he’s beautiful.

Shawn: Baby bo.

[Chuckles]

Jan: Thank god he’s safe and everything turned out okay. I just had a thought. Maybe I could babysit for him.

Shawn: [Laughs] Not a chance in hell.

Jan: Yeah, of course not.

[Scoffs] You wouldn’t even entertain the idea. I mean, who would leave their child alone with a lunatic like jan spears? She might toss a radio in the bathtub and electrocute him. I get it. I get it, okay? It’s just really, really hurtful.

Belle: Well, I am just so glad that things are working out for the both of you.

Ej: I hope you know how grateful we are for your help.

Belle: Well, like I said, I just wanna make up for the damage I did.

Ej: It wasn’t you, belle.

Belle: I know. I know. I’m just–I just feel awful for what you’ve been through.

Ej: You’re not responsible. We now know that it wasn’t you who framed me. It was johnny. Of course, johnny doesn’t remember planting that evidence on chad’s computer. He doesn’t remember much about anything he did while he was possessed. But this morning, I spoke with him and like you, he’s still plagued with guilt. He–he feels terrible that I ended up in prison.

Chad: I gotta say something.

[Tense music]

Gabi: Hey, I was just telling jake about our plans for tonight.

Shin: Welcome back. I told gabi she made a brilliant move when she rehired you. As you know, I’ve always been a fan.

Jake: Hmm. Of me or her?

Shin: Both. And congratulations on pinehurst.

Jake: Oh, the golf club?

Gabi: No, it’s a small architectural company we acquired recently.

Shin: An incredibly promising company I’ve had my eye on for months. Several of our competitors were circling, but… gabi closed the deal. She’s really on a roll. This dinner’s to celebrate our success.

Jake: Hmm.

Shin: Why don’t you join us?

Gabi: Oh, no. He probably has plans with his roommate. Plus, I was really looking forward to spending some time with you. Alone.

Shin: Hmm.

[Tense music]

Johnny: It sounds like tr got exactly what he deserved. And obviously, I had no idea what kind of man he was when I got into business with him–what kind of horrible man he was.

Chanel: No one did. Mama finally saw his true colors, but– now I’m so scared of the price she might have to pay.

[Breathes sharply] And I’m also worried sick about horton.

Johnny: Have you–

[Clears throat] Have you seen her since?

Chanel: I thought it would be best if she had some time with henry and her dad first.

Johnny: Yeah.

Chanel: God, she’s been through such a nightmare. Are you sure she’s really okay?

Johnny: Yeah. Yeah, she is. She doesn’t remember most of it, which is a blessing, believe me.

Chanel: You’ve been though a nightmare, too, with–

[Sniffs] I’m so sorry. But at least you saved her in the end.

Johnny: No. I didn’t save her. Tripp did.

[Monitor beeping]

Allie: I heard what you did for me. I don’t know how I’ll ever be able to thank you.

Tripp: You don’t have to.

Allie: Are you kidding? Tripp, you told satan to take you instead of me. You let the devil possess you. I mean, you threw yourself out a window.

Tripp: I had to stop him. Make sure he couldn’t hurt you again.

Allie: Tripp, you could have died. Actually, you did for a little while.

Tripp: Guess I’m a hard guy to kill.

Allie: [Sighs] I– I would never have forgiven myself if we’d lost you.

Tripp: You didn’T.

Allie: After everything I did to you– lying… cheating… breaking– breaking your heart… why would you sacrifice your life for mine?

Tripp: Because despite all of that.. I can’t deny what’s in my heart. I still love you, allie.

It’s started. Somewhere between a cuddle suspense, chad. What is it you need to say?

Chad: It’s just that… I think that we’ve all spent enough time focused on regrets. We need to look forward now. And, ej, my brother… I couldn’t be happier… that we’re doing it together.

Belle: Hear, hear.

Ej: Shall we get the ball rolling?

Chad: Yeah, I’ll call shin and let him know that we need to get the shareholders together today.

[Tense atmospheric music]

Gabi: Don’t you wanna enjoy a little one-on-one time tonight?

Shin: I do. And it’ll give us a chance to brainstorm about our next acquisition.

Gabi: Yeah, and enjoy some champagne. I can talk to you about the gabi chic summer line. My favorite piece is a little too sexy for the office, but I could show you for tonight.

[Phone rings]

Shin: Oh, excuse me. Hello?

Chad: Li, it’s chad dimera.

Shin: What can I do for you?

Chad: My brother ej and i are calling the shareholders together for a vote to remove gabi as ceo. Today.

Shin: I think that’s a big mistake. But I’m with gabi and jake now. I’ll let them know.

Chad: 4:00. See you then.

[Phone beeps]

[Phone beeps]

Gabi: What was that about?

Shin: Chad and ej are calling a shareholders’ meeting for today at 4:00.

Jake: What for?

Gabi: Well, to push me out, obviously. No, we can’t let them do this.

Shin: Don’t panic. You have me on your side. And jake, of course. I’m confident we’ll walk away victorious. I’ll see you at the meeting. And tonight, we’ll celebrate.

[Tense music]

Gabi: I am so screwed.

[Sighs]

Jan: The idea is not as crazy as you think.

Shawn: Look, jan, I’m gonna say it again. There is no way that my sister’s gonna feel comfortable leaving you alone with her son.

Jan: No, no. She doesn’t have to. You could be here with me. And you could do all the hands-on work and I’ll just be here to assist or whatever. Just tell ciara that she would be doing this for her future niece or nephew, so that when the baby is born, it’ll have two confident, capable parents. Will you ask her, please? Just, again, tell her that you’ll do all the work and I’ll just be here observing.

Shawn: Okay, fine. Yeah. Like, I suppose– yeah, I’ll ask.

Jan: Thank you.

Shawn: Okay, but don’t get your hopes up, ’cause I’m almost positive it’s gonna be a hard no.

Jan: Well, even so, I’m grateful that you’re willing to do this for me. So you’ll ask ciara now?

Shawn: Well, I was gonna go check on her and see how she’s doing, so… yes, I’ll ask her.

Jan: Shawn, you have no idea how much this means to me.

[Tense music]

Chanel: Tripp risked his own life to save allie?

Johnny: Yeah, he– he jumped out of the loft window. Yeah.

Chanel: What? I can’t believe he did that after she cheated on him with me. They were supposed to get married, have a future together, and all of that was destroyed.

Johnny: Tripp said none of that mattered because of the way that he felt about her.

Chanel: I thought he hated allie. That he’d never forgive her.

Johnny: No, it’s got nothing to do with forgiveness. It’s about love. When you love somebody that much, you’ll do anything for them. I know how that feels.

[Dramatic music]

[Monitor beeping]

Tripp: You might not believe that I still feel this way about you, given how hostile I’ve been. I mean, it’s hard to admit, even to myself. But my dad and kayla helped me see that my anger was just a way of hiding how hurt I was. And when I found out that you were possessed and… that your body had been violated by this evil being, it reminded me of–

Allie: Charlie?

Tripp: Yeah. I promised you I’d never let you get hurt like that again.

Allie: Tripp, you didn’t need to protect me. I never expected you to do that.

Tripp: I never expected that I would. When I heard that your life was in danger, how I could lose you forever… it made me realize that I… I still loved you.

Allie: But what you did, it was too much.

Tripp: No, it wasn’T. I wanted you to live. And for henry to have his mom. If there was anything, anything at all that I could do to make that happen, I was gonna do it no matter what it cost me.

Allie: Tripp, it almost cost you your life.

Tripp: I had no choice, allie. Because of how I feel about you. It’s okay. You don’t have to say anything.

Allie: Yes, I do. Because I need to tell you how I feel about you, tripp. Because I still love you too. The lows of bipolar depression how the votes are gonna go. So I’ll have the two of us, obviously, plus shin and stefano’s grandson steven hawk. He was with us last time.

Jake: All right. So that’s four we can count on.

Gabi: Yeah, and then ej, tony, and chad are against us, plus kate.

Jake: Thanks to me.

Gabi: Thanks to both of us.

Jake: All right. So let’s see. Last time they had theo’s proxy, right? And my brother peter’s vote. So we can probably count on them voting that way this time. And then johnny’s probably gonna vote with ej, right?

Gabi: Yeah, that’s seven against us. Not even close, okay? We should just concede.

Jake: No, no, no. The gabi hernandez I know would not give up that quickly.

Gabi: What am I supposed to do, just pull some votes out of my–

Jake: No, no, no. We’ll do what we did last time. We’ll make phone calls, see who we can flip, all right? Remember, they need a majority. A tie is still a win for us.

Gabi: All right, but I’m not calling kate because i canned her ass.

Jake: I’ll do it.

[Phone beeps]

[Line ringing] Kate, hey, it’s jake. Listen, I don’t know if you heard, but I’m back to work at the company and we’re having a shareholders’ meet–

[Phone beeps] She hung up.

Gabi: Well, that’s a shock. Can we give up now?

Jake: Not a chance.

Ej: How are things going between you and shawn?

Belle: Well, I ran into him when they took ben and ciara’s baby to the hospital, so we went and checked on them together.

Ej: And?

Belle: And it was really nice to see him hold his nephew for the first time. Kind of reminded me of when claire was small. We were kind of having a moment, and then jan called and ruined it. Ugh, and get this. She called me earlier too.

Ej: Why?

Belle: I don’t know. She said she had something she wanted to talk to me about, but she wouldn’t tell me over the phone, so…

Ej: Are you going to go see her?

Belle: Yeah, I think I’d rather ignore her.

Ej: Or you could take the opportunity to tell her to her face that she’s not going to ruin your marriage.

Chad: The meeting’s all set.

Belle: Huh. All right. Well, good luck, boys. Let me know how it goes.

[Tense acoustic music]

Ej: [Sighs]

Chanel: I– I wanna go see how tripp is doing. You know, he and I got close while you–

Johnny: I know. I know.

Chanel: Okay. Well… I should head to the hospital.

Johnny: Look, the guy saved my sister’s life. I’d like to thank him for that. So maybe I could go with you?

Chanel: I’d like that.

[Sentimental music]

[Monitor beeping]

Allie: You can’t be that surprised. I mean, even after everything blew up with us, I still wanted to marry you. To raise henry with you. After what you did for me, your determination to help me, the courage that it took for you to do what you did… I not only still love you, but I feel so grateful.

Tripp: What about chanel? I mean, after we broke up, you two got together. I mean, you became a couple.

Allie: And I still feel terrible that johnny told you before I got the chance to.

Tripp: I’m just glad you’re here now being honest with me about how you feel. But I want you to be honest about everything.

Allie: Okay.

Tripp: So tell me… do you still have feelings for chanel?

[Monitor beeping]

You never know

what opportunities

Belle: All right, jan, I’m here. What do you want?

Jan: A less brusque greeting would be nice. But seeing as you’re such a busy lawyer, you probably don’t have time to ask how my pregnancy’s going.

Belle: That’s right.

Jan: Well, then I’ll get straight to the point. Could you clear out your home office?

Belle: Why would I do that?

Jan: Because I wanna turn it into a nursery for shawn’s and my baby.

Ej: We have a little time before the meeting. So… I would like to propose a toast. And to thank you.

Chad: For what?

Ej: Agreeing to be partners. As I said the other night… I know father would be proud to see his sons coming together.

[Pensive music]

To the dimera legacy, our family, and our future.

Jake: That’s great. Thanks, bro. Good talking to you. We got peter.

Gabi: What? He switched sides? Why?

Jake: Don’t know, don’t care. All I know now is it’s six to five. One more vote for us, it’s a tie.

Gabi: I think our best bet’s johnny.

Jake: I just got finished telling you he’s gonna vote with ej.

Gabi: Yeah, but I think I can get him to vote in another direction.

Jake: Work your magic.

[Phone beeps]

[Line ringing]

[Phone ringing]

Johnny: It’s gabi. Probably has something to do with dimera. I’m gonna take this. I’ll catch up to you.

[Phone rings]

[Phone beeps] Gabi.

Gabi: Johnny. Hi, handsome. How are you doing?

Johnny: Fine. What’s up?

Gabi: Oh, I was just calling to tell you I am looking forward to seeing you later at the meeting. You know, I wanted to thank you because I wouldn’t be where I am if it wasn’t for you. I mean, we work so well together, so in sync. We have the same vision, same goals.

Johnny: First of all, that wasn’t me. That was satan. And second, I’m not even gonna be at the meeting and my dad has my proxy, so I…can’t help you.

Gabi: Thanks for nothing.

[Phone beeps]

Jake: All right. Forget that jerk. Let’s press on.

Gabi: That’s it, jake. It’s over. I’m out.

[Monitor beeping]

Tripp: Look, I’m not naive. I know it’s possible to love two people at the same time.

Allie: Tripp–

Tripp: You told me that you still love me. And I believe you. I just need to know if you love chanel too.

[Tense music]

Chanel: Oh, my god, horton. Oh, I have been so worried about you. Oh, god. Are you really all right?

Allie: I’m fine. I’m fine.

Chanel: Oh, thank god. Oh, god.

[Solemn music]

Entresto is the number one heart failure brand Gabi.

Jake: You two don’t seriously think you’re gonna win this thing, do you?

Ej: [Chuckles] “This thing” is my family’s legacy, and what I seriously think is that my legitimate brother and I are going to swiftly and permanently take back control of dimera from an incompetent interloper.

Gabi: Well, if you’ll excuse me, I’m gonna lope over here and set up the video feed.

Jake: Mm-hmm.

Shin: Greetings, all.

Chad: Shin, glad you could make it.

Shin: As you know, I’m not happy about this meeting. But you do have a quorum, so I would like to call this meeting of the dimera shareholders to order.

[Tense music]

Who would like to speak first?

Ej: I will.

Shin: Chair recognizes ej dimera.

Ej: Thank you. My brother chad and I have one motion to bring before you today and that is to remove gabriella hernandez from her position as ceo.

Shin: Very well. I’ll read the proxy votes first.

Theo carver votes “aye.” Kate roberts, “aye.” Antony dimera, “aye.” John roman dimera, “aye.” That’s four votes in favor of removing ms. Hernandez from ceo.

Gabi: I have a proxy vote from steven hawk.

Shin: “Nay.” We will now hear from those present. Ej, you may start.

Ej: Aye.

Chad: Aye.

Jake: Nay.

Gabi: Nay.

Shin: The vote now stands at six to remove, three to retain. Peter blake, you’re next. That’s another nay vote from peter.

Ej: You bloody traitor! Peter, what the hell– don’t–

[Tablet buzzes] He disconnected.

Chad: It’s fine. There’s no way they can win even with shin’s vote.

Ej: [Clears throat]

Shin: I vote nay. So the final tally is six aye five nay. The ayes have it. Ms. Hernandez will be removed as ceo.

Ej: Well done.

Shin: I’m very dismayed at the outcome, but now that all the votes are in… I will call this meeting to a close.

[Call ringing]

Jake: What the hell is that?

Shin: Someone else is dialing in to the meeting.

[Ringing]

Belle: You cannot be serious.

Jan: Baby needs a place to sleep and your office is the best option.

Belle: All right. Jan, let me see how I can put this delicately. There is no way in hell that I am giving up my office. And this arrangement, you staying here, is temporary, because as soon as that baby is born, you’re going back to prison.

Jan: What about the baby? He or she will need a place to be regardless of where I am. Although, just a heads up, I plan to be right here, with shawn and our precious baby.

[Both sigh]

Chanel: Are you sure you’re okay?

Allie: I’m fine. What I wanna know is if you’re okay. I mean, johnny told me there’s something going on with your mom.

Chanel: Oh, there’s so much going on.

[Sighs]

Allie: He also told me how bad I hurt you. I’m so sorry, dupree.

Chanel: That was not your fault, okay? All that matters is that you’re back.

Allie: I feel like there’s so much to say and hear and catch up on. We really need to talk.

Chanel: We do. Right now, I just wanna do this.

[Chuckles] Oh.

Johnny: Whoa, it’s a party. Hey, sis. I…didn’t know you were gonna be here.

Allie: Hey, johnny.

Johnny: Hey, tripp. How you feeling?

Tripp: Oh, not bad. What brings you by?

Johnny: Chanel and I just– we wanted to come by and see how you were feeling after that superman move you pulled.

Tripp: Yeah. Turns out my powers didn’t work so well.

Chanel: Oh, yes, they did. G told me you saved horton’s life. We could not be more grateful.

Johnny: Seriously. I mean, all of us, my whole family, we owe you. A lot. You’re– you’re a real hero.

Tripp: I don’t know about that.

Allie: I do.

Johnny: Well, we didn’t mean to interrupt you guys, so we will give you some time and check back in a little.

Tripp: Sounds good.

Chanel: We’ll talk.

Allie: For sure.

Johnny: All right. Well, feel good, guys. Feel good.

[Monitor beeping]

[Door clicks shut]

Allie: I know you’re supposed to rest. Do you want me to leave too?

Tripp: No. No, I’d really like it if you stayed. Like pulsing, electric shocks,

Allie: Is there something else you wanna talk about?

Tripp: I just wanna go back to what I asked you before. About whether you love chanel.

[Monitor beeping] I think I just got my answer.

[Somber music]

Johnny: It’s been a wild ride, huh?

Chanel: I hope it’s over for good.

Johnny: Hmm.

Chanel: Anyway, I should head back to the bakery. I’ll see you later, G.

Johnny: Chanel, wait. I– I know you have a ton going on right now, but there’s just something I wanna tell you.

Chanel: Go ahead.

Johnny: I just wanted to say that I’m–again, how sorry I am for everything that I put you through.

Chanel: It’s okay. I know it wasn’t your fault.

Johnny: You know, I haven’t stopped thinking about you. Not for one minute.

Chanel: We shouldn’t get into this–

Johnny: Look, I just want to remind you what I said to my family when we first got back to salem. After we got married. I said that I was totally committed to you, and that hasn’t changed. Chanel, I wanna be here for you. I wanna support you. I wanna help you through everything. I still love you.

[Sentimental music]

Belle: You’re planning to be here. What does that even mean, jan? What, are you gonna break out of prison to come be with your baby?

Jan: Of course not. I meant I’ll probably be released early on good behavior. And I’m sure the judge will go easy on me, being a new mother.

Belle: Right. Right. And in this delusion of yours, you’re gonna come here?

[Laughs]

Jan: As often as possible.

Belle: I see what you’re doing, jan. I know you’re trying to get under my skin and stir up more drama between shawn and me. But it’s not gonna work. You are not going to destroy my marriage.

Jan: Me? You’re the one who moved out.

Belle: Let me be very, very clear. Shawn and I love each other and we are committed to each other forever. He’s only letting you stay here because you guilted him into it.

Jan: Really? Is that why he went to ask ciara if we could babysit for little bo?

Belle: [Laughs] Oh, please. Shawn would never let you anywhere near his nephew.

Jan: Oh. He’s at his sister’s right now running the idea by her. Why don’t you call him if you don’t believe me?

Belle: You’re such a psycho.

Jan: Can we be civilized, please, and not resort to name-calling?

Belle: Okay, you know what? You think you’re gonna come here and steal my husband because you are a sick, twisted human being with a heart of stone.

Jan: Back off.

Belle: And your pathetic, insane plan is never going to work. Do you hear me? Never!

Shawn: Belle, what is going on?

[Tense music]

Shin: Were you expecting anyone else to call in?

Chad: No.

Jake: Maybe one of your sure things changed their mind.

Ej: Who?

[Call ringing]

Gabi: Let’s see.

[Tablet beeps]

Kristen: Hey, kids. You didn’t forget about me, did you?

Days of Our Lives Transcript

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Eric: You need my help? Why would I do anything to help you after you blew up my marriage?

Xander: I’m not asking for me, eric. I’m asking for sarah.

Eric: Sarah?

Xander: Kayla gave sarah the antidote to rolf’s drug and it worked. She’s completely back to normal, except–

Eric: Except what?

Xander: For some reason, she doesn’t know that– your daughter, mickey–

Eric: What? What doesn’t she know?

Xander: That your baby died.

Nicole: You’re here to get your baby?

Sarah: Mm-hmm.

Nicole: Uh, what baby?

Sarah: Mickey, of course. Xander said that she was here.

Nicole: Xander told you that mickey was here? With me?

Sarah: Uh, well, no. No. He said that she was with eric. And since you and eric live together, I just– I assumed she was here.

Nicole: Listen, I don’t know what xander told you or why, but–

Sarah: Nicole, it’s okay. You don’t have to pretend. I know.

Nicole: Know what?

Sarah: I know that you told eric that mickey is his daughter.

Lani: So that’s it? You get to make all the decisions and I just– I have to go along with them?

Paulina: When it comes to protecting you from a murder charge, hell, yes.

Lani: Okay, paulina, I need you to listen.

Paulina: Look, no, lani. I am done arguing about this. Now, I am going–I’m going to plead guilty. And you, you’re going to live a long, happy life with your family.

Lani: No. No. No. I–I’m sorry, paulina, but I–I can’t do it. I can’t just let you take the rap for something that I did.

Abe: It couldn’t be.

Eli: Everything you just said–I mean, it–it–

Abe: It doesn’t–it doesn’t mean that–

Eli: I pray it doesn’t, abe. But we at least have to ask the question. Is lani possibly the one that shot tr?

Abe: If she did, then that could mean–

Eli: Paulina’s innocent. But she’s covering for her daughter.

Male announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “days of our lives.”

[Soft orchestration]

Chanel: I was–was just on my way to go visit mama down at the police station. I-I thought she could use a pick-me-up.

Julie: She could use more than that. She deserves a medal for what she did.

Chanel: Agreed. But all I can offer her right now is a whole lot of sugar.

Julie: And your love and your support. And I know that’s going to mean the world to her. Well, I guess I have to find another bakery. Though their treats won’t be nearly as delicious as yours.

Chanel: I–I pretty much packed up the entire store, so take these.

Julie: Are you sure?

Chanel: Of course. And give eli a hug for me.

Julie: Well, thank you, darling; that’s very kind.

Chanel: You’re very welcome.

Julie: When you see your mother, from me, tell her to hang in there. Because every right-thinking person knows she did nothing wrong. Bye, sweetie.

Chanel: Bye.

[Breathes deeply]

Abe: Paulina didn’t kill ray. She’s protecting lani.

Eli: We don’t know that for sure.

Abe: Some pretty big holes in her story.

Eli: Yes, but we– abe, you and I both know that we cannot jump to any conclusions. But if there’s more to this story, I can’t be blindsided by it.

Abe: What are you thinking?

Eli: I need to talk to my wife.

Paulina: We’ve been over this. Now, if you confess, you’ll lose everything. Your career, your– your husband, your kids.

Lani: And what about everything you would lose?

Paulina: Well, I might not even be locked up. I told you, I’m going to say it was an act of self-defense. A jury will believe me.

Lani: You don’t know that. And you shouldn’t be facing a jury, paulina. You didn’t shoot anyone.

Paulina: Well, I may not have pulled the trigger. But for what happened, it is entirely–entirely on me.

[Sighs] I’m the one who made the mistake of trusting ray coates, bringing him close again.

Lani: You thought he’d changed.

Paulina: Well, I should have known better. I did know better. Lani, please. Just let me do this. I–I will be exonerated.

Lani: Even if you are, paulina, I would still know what I did. And how–how am I supposed to do my job like that? How do I face my husband? How do I talk to my children about courage and–and honesty? I would be a complete hypocrite. No. I don’t– I don’t want to live like that. I can’t live like that. Do you hear me? I–I need to tell rafe the truth right now.

From prom dresses

Eli: Lani just went to the station to see paulina.

Abe: She’ll be back pretty soon.

Eli: I don’t think it can wait.

Abe: You’re not thinking of going down there to see her, are you?

Julie: Ah! There you are. Wow, eli. I was so worried when I went into your room and you weren’t there. And then a nurse told me I would find you here.

Eli: Yeah, I’m–I’m sorry about that, grandma.

Julie: What are you doing out of bed?

Eli: I–I just–I just came to say hi to abe and see what trouble he’s been into since I’ve been asleep.

Julie: Mm. Hello, abraham.

Abe: Hey, julie.

Julie: Will you excuse me while I chastise my grandson? The last time you got out of bed, you collapsed. You remember that? I do.

Eli: Okay, well, I’m feeling much better now, grandma.

Julie: Wonderful. That’s just wonderful, but you just woke up from a coma, darling. And I’m sure that your doctors didn’t mean for you to wander around the hospital making social calls. So let me escort you back to your room where you can rest. And look, I have– I have a box of bear claws with your name on it.

Eli: Thank you, grandma, but I–I’m sorry. I–I got to run.

Julie: Eli. What could possibly be so urgent?

Paulina: Lani, no. You can’t tell rafe the truth.

Lani: I’m sorry, paulina, but it is not up to you.

Paulina: The hell it isn’t! No, lani, I won’t let you do this.

Chanel: What are you two arguing about?

Paulina: Uh, well, lani was just blaming herself for not seeing through ray sooner. And I told her– I was telling her, I– you know, I was fooled too. No need to shoulder the blame alone. What she needs to do is go back to the hospital and be with her husband.

Chanel: Mama’s right.

Paulina: Mama’s right.

Lani: Okay. I will head out then.

Chanel: Give eli my love.

[Dramatic music]

Eric: Sarah thinks mickey’s alive?

Xander: Her memory is completely fine otherwise. But for some reason, around the baby, there’s just this glitch.

Eric: So why did they release her from the hospital?

Xander: I thought it was too soon. But sarah’s brain scans, they came back normal and kayla didn’t think there’s be any lasting effects from the drug.

Eric: In other words, this “glitch” is gonna wear off?

Xander: It hasn’t yet. We got back to the house, and sarah made a beeline for the nursery. And as soon as she saw that it was empty, she thought mickey had been kidnapped. And I–I panicked.

Eric: Meaning what?

Xander: Sarah was freaking out and demanding answers. And I–I may have told her that the baby was with you.

Eric: Xander, why didn’t you just tell her the truth?

Xander: I told you, I was panicking.

Eric: What were you thinking?

Xander: That I had to protect sarah. That I couldn’t let her go through the pain of finding out that her baby died all over again.

Eric: Or maybe you were just too scared because you were afraid that sarah was gonna hate you all over again.

Nicole: So you know that I told eric that mickey is his daughter?

Sarah: Well, it–don’t worry, xander explained everything. He said, you know, after kristen had injected me with that drug, no one was sure that I would even be able to be a parent to my little girl anymore. And so you thought it was right that her other parent know the truth.

Nicole: Okay.

Sarah: And, you know, nicole, I know that I’m the one that forced you to keep this huge secret from eric in the first place. Because, you know, when I found out that I was pregnant, you guys were already together. And I–I don’t want anyone to be with me out of obligation. And so then, xander offered to say that he was the father and–and whe– when I was sick– you did the right thing. You know, you risked your relationship and your happiness for my daughter’s well-being. And that’s a really amazing thing that you did.

Nicole: Wow, I–I– I don’t know what to say.

Sarah: And–and since eric is here, I’m guessing that he understood, which just so great. And I’m fine, as you can see, so I just–I would really like to take my baby home. So where are they?

Nicole: Sarah, uh–

Sarah: Is mickey napping? Oh. I think eric’s getting her up. Eric?

[Giggles]

Rafe: Hey.

[Dramatic music]

Sarah: Ah, hi, rafe. What are you, um– oh, my god. Are you cheating on eric?

Nicole: No, I–no, I’m not.

Sarah: Then–then why is he here?

Nicole: Sarah, honey, look. You–you don’t understand.

Sarah: Yeah, and I–I don’t– I don’t think that I want to. I just–I just need to get mickey.

Rafe: I’m sorry, did you say mickey?

Sarah: My daughter. Why are you looking at me like that?

Rafe: Um–

Nicole: Sarah, mickey is– not–not here.

Sarah: What? Why?

Nicole: Because eric and I split up.

Eric: Admit it. You lied to sarah because you’re a selfish coward.

Xander: I protected sarah. She’s been through enough, eric. She was drugged, kidnapped, held captive on some godforsaken island. Then she comes home, only to be drugged all over again.

Eric: And that justifies you deceiving her about her own child?

Xander: You know what it did to sarah the last time she found out about mickey. I couldn’t–I couldn’t put her through all that again right now. I–surely you understand that.

Eric: You know what I understand? I understand wanting to protect somebody from needlessly suffering. But the only one you were trying to prevent from suffering is you.

Xander: Are you gonna help sarah or not?

Eric: Maggie cannot be okay with this.

Xander: Oh, she’s not. She’s very clear that we have to tell sarah the truth. And I will.

Eric: You’re gonna tell her the truth today.

Xander: Why?

Eric: I don’t know. Maybe because sarah’s gonna notice when no one brings the baby home?

Xander: Well, I might have a fix for that.

Chanel: How you doing, mama?

Paulina: You know, not exactly the ritz, but I’ve slept in worse places. What’d you bring me?

Chanel: I thought you could use some comfort food.

Paulina: [Chuckles] Ooh, muffins, scones. Alice’s famous donuts. I don’t see any bear claws.

Chanel: Oh, sorry, I gave them to julie. She was going to see eli.

Paulina: Oh, well, I hope he will enjoy them. And I will enjoy this–ooh, this chocolate croissant. Mm-mm. Ooh. Split it with me?

Chanel: I’m–I’m not hungry.

Paulina: Just one bite.

Chanel: Mama, no. We need to talk.

Paulina: Mm-mm. Oh, the color, the flake. Mm, girl, you got– you got some serious skills.

Chanel: Mama–

Paulina: Mm. Uh! You know what, chanel, I think you need to think about opening a second store. I mean, really. I’m serious, chanel. I’ve never tasted a more delicious croissant.

Chanel: Okay, could you put that down for a minute?

Paulina: Mm-mm, I cannot. I cannot. Ooh, ooh, mm. Ooh, I’ve been transported to my favorite patisserie in paris. Mmm. Ooh la la. It’s so–

Chanel: Mother.

Paulina: It’s so buttery, so rich.

Chanel: Mother, would you please stop talking about the damn pastry?

Lani: What are you doing?

Eli: I’m coming to find you.

Lani: At the police station?

Eli: I need to talk to you.

Lani: No, you need to get back in that bed, eli. You are nowhere near ready to leave the hospital.

Eli: You sound like my grandmother.

Lani: Yeah, well, julie is a very smart woman who loves you just as much as I do. And we waited so long for you to wake up. Okay? So don’t push it.

Eli: All right. I’m sorry.

Lani: Well, I’m here now. You wanna tell me what is so important?

Eli: It’s about paulina.

Lani: What about her?

Eli: I’m not so sure she’s guilty.

Julie: Eli hasn’t gone back to work, has he?

Abe: Oh, heavens, no.

Julie: Well then, why is he racing out of here?

Abe: He’s concerned about this situation with lani.

Julie: Oh. Because paulina shot tr coates?

Abe: Right. Yeah.

Julie: Well, I’ll tell anybody that listens, paulina deserves a parade, not prison time.

Abe: I know you feel strongly about this.

Julie: Well, of course I do. The bastard nearly killed my grandson and you. And lani. [Sighs] He had to be stopped. If paulina hadn’t taken that gun and blown him away–

Abe: That–that’s not what happened. No matter who you are,

Eric: Why do I have a feeling I’m not gonna like this “fix” of yours?

Xander: Well, at least hear me out. I’ll just tell sarah that you and nicole went off on a little holiday and took the baby with you. And while you’re “away,” that’ll buy me time to break the news to her.

Eric: Nicole and I are–

Xander: Sarah thinks you’re still together. She was stranded on fantasy island when everything– hit the fan. What matters is she won’t be suspicious.

Eric: Xander, nicole and i are divorced. She’s moved on with rafe.

Xander: So you pretend.

Eric: You mean lie?

Xander: It’s not like you’ll be hurting anyone. In fact, you’ll be doing a good deed for sarah. Will you–will you do it?

[Cell phone ringing] Hold that thought. Maggie? Maggie, is everything okay? What do you mean sarah’s gone? She must be looking for mickey.

Eric: Wait, xander! Hey, where are you going?

[Sighs]

Sarah: You and eric split up?

Nicole: A while ago.

Sarah: What happened? Oh, no. When I got sick, you told him the truth, and he didn’t understand. He broke things off?

Nicole: No. No. Sarah, it’s not that. Uh, it’s complicated.

Sarah: Um, you know what? It–it doesn’t matter. I just need to find eric and get my baby, so– um, thank you, nicole.

Nicole: Um, okay, sarah? Sarah, before–oh.

Rafe: Wow.

Julie: What do you mean, that’s not what happened? Tr attacked you. And then he turned on paulina and attacked her when lani came in. And to save all the people that she loved, paulina shot him.

Abe: Tr is– well, there was obviously no love lost between me and tr. He was–he was obviously just a horrible man. But I think that he convinced himself that he cared for lani. She was his daughter. I don’t think he would have killed her. He loved her.

Julie: Please. If he loved her that much, abe, he wouldn’t have shot her husband.

Abe: You’re probably right.

Julie: Of course I’m right. Tr only cared about his own skin. And paulina knew it. And so, she shot him. That makes her a hero to me.

Paulina: What’s gotten into you?

Chanel: Me? You’re the one sitting here going on about pastries like we’re lounging by your pool in miami instead of sitting here at the police station.

Paulina: Well, chanel, what would you have me do? Just wring my hands and wallow in misery?

Chanel: No, but taking this seriously might be a good idea. You do know why you’re here, right?

Paulina: My lawyers are taking care of everything. With what I’m paying them, they’d better.

Chanel: Okay, I’m sure you’ve got a great legal team, but– but that doesn’t mean you’re gonna walk away from this. It’s not like you’re innocent.

Paulina: Chanel, you’re worrying over nothing. Now, at worst, I’ll just get a slap on the wrist.

Chanel: And what if you don’t? What if they–what if they put you away for years? Mama–mama, I’m scared. I just–I don’t know what I’ll do if I lose you.

Lani: You don’t think paulina is guilty? Why would you say that?

Eli: A few things.

Lani: Such as?

Eli: When you first told me about the shooting you said that “paulina said that she shot tr.”

Lani: She did.

Eli: That phrasing.

Lani: About what?

Eli: I mean, lani, don’t– don’t you think that’s kind of strange? I mean, why would you put it that way if you were there? You witnessed the shooting. I mean, why wouldn’t you just say, “paulina shot tr”?

Lani: I was upset. I had just– well, I had just saw my–my biological father get murdered. So I–I guess I wasn’t forming perfect sentences. Is there anything else that you want to grill me on, detective?

Eli: We can talk about it later.

Lani: No. We can do it right now. I’m ready. Next question.

Eli: Okay. Tr was shot with your service weapon. It was your gun.

Lani: I know. I holstered it so I could arrest ray. And then paulina grabbed it. That’s all.

Eli: Okay, but I just finished talking to your dad. He said that after tr hit him and he went down, that he thought he heard paulina say, “what have you done?” Why do you think she would say that?

Lani: How should I know, eli?

Eli: Maybe because she was talking to you. Maybe she was asking you that question. Because you shot tr. My moderate to severe plaque psoriasis…

[Knocking on door]

Nicole: Okay. Okay.

Xander: Where’s sarah?

Nicole: Hello to you too.

Xander: Damn it, nicole. Where is sarah?

Rafe: Watch your tone.

Xander: I don’t have time for pleasantries. Is sarah here or not?

Nicole: She left. She went to find her baby. Her baby that died years ago. Care to explain what that’s about?

Eric: Sarah.

Sarah: Hey.

Eric: So nice to see you.

Sarah: You too.

Eric: How are you feeling?

Sarah: Ah, you mean since kristen shot me up with some crazy drug? Uh, great, actually.

Eric: I’m happy to hear that.

Sarah: Yeah.

Eric: I–I’m–I’m sorry for everything you went through.

Sarah: Thank you. Um, I don’t remember much of it, to be honest with you, which is probably a good thing.

Eric: Right. Yeah. Right.

Sarah: But anyway, I’m– I’m fine. I’m out of the hospital. And I–I feel like my old self and fully capable of being a good parent to my child– our child. I know that nicole told you the truth about mickey. God, you must hate me.

Eric: No. No. Not at all.

Sarah: Really?

Eric: Really. Really, sarah. I– I understand.

Sarah: That’s so kind of you. I wasn’t sure, because nicole said you guys had broken up.

Eric: Yeah. Yeah. It was a while ago. I mean, things are fine between us now and I’ve moved on. And so has she.

Sarah: Yes. With rafe. I–I just saw him, ’cause I– I went to nicole’s house because I thought mickey was there. Because I thought you were there, but anyway, eric, I–I am so desperate to hold our little girl. Could you please go get her?

Julie: So the night that all of this happened, I don’t suppose you even had a chance to tell paulina about your feelings?

Abe: [Chuckles] He knocked me out before I could.

Julie: So what are you doing lying here? You should be running over to that police station toot sweet.

Abe: I think paulina has a little more on her mind right now than my feelings.

Julie: What could be more important than telling her you want her back?

Abe: I just don’t think it’s the right time.

Julie: No. No. Don’t tell me you’ve changed your mind.

Abe: [Sighs]

Paulina: You’re not going to lose me, baby. It’s simply not going to happen.

Chanel: You don’t know that. When daddy died, you promised me that everything was gonna be okay, because I’d always have you.

Paulina: And I intend to keep that promise. I’m not going to leave you, no matter what.

Chanel: You might not have a choice. I ca–I can’t believe this is happening. You and I, we are finally in a good place after all these years of conflict and fighting. And I–I love being close to you, being able to see you whenever I want.

Paulina: That’s not going to change.

Chanel: I want to believe you. But after daddy, johnny, and allie–no one stays. No one–no one ever stays.

Paulina: I am not going to prison. Now, I have complete confidence in my lawyers, and I need you to have confidence in me. Now, if the worst happens– and–and it won’t, you won’t be alone. You’ll have big mama.

Chanel: Seriously?

Paulina: I know, I know, she’s getting older.

Chanel: It’s not that. She lives in miami.

Paulina: Well, you love miami.

Chanel: Yeah, but I’m not moving back there. I–I have a bakery now.

Paulina: Of course. Of course, I was just pointing out–you can always visit and you– you got family here too. Your sister and eli and your little niece and nephew. They’ll always be there for you.

Chanel: I know. I know, and I love them, but they’re–they’re just not–

Paulina: Th–not–not what?

Chanel: My mama.

Lani: You think I shot tr?

Eli: Lani, I don’t think anything. I’m just–I’m just asking.

Lani: Because of something my father may have heard while he was barely conscious?

Eli: And other reasons that I mentioned.

Lani: Wow. Hm. You are really interrogating me.

Eli: And you get why. Lani, you’re a cop. I know you understand.

Lani: I also didn’t realize that I was a suspect.

Eli: Baby, you still haven’t answered my question. No matter what, lani, I’m on your side. Baby, all I want to do is help you, but I can’t, unless I know exactly what’s going on. Baby, whatever it is– whatever it is, we’ll get through it together. I love you. But I got to know. You have to tell me. Who really shot tr?

Lani: It was me. Okay, snacks and popcorn are gonna be expensive.

[Soft dramatic music]

Lani: It all happened so fast. I walked into paulina’s apartment with my gun drawn. And I saw tr about to hit paulina. And my father was on the floor, bleeding. And I just thought all this pain–all this pain was caused by tr. And I wanted him to stop. And I wanted to be the one to stop him. So I did.

Eli: You pulled the trigger.

Lani: That wasn’t my intention. I went there to arrest him for what he did to you. And I–and I– and I killed him. I killed my own father.

Eli: That man is not your father, lani. Abe is your father, and you saved his life.

Lani: And I also shot an unarmed man. And I–I was–I was gonna take responsibility. I swear that I was and– but then steve johnson walked in, and then paulina just blurted out that she– that she shot tr. And I was in shock, so I just–I– I went along with it. But not anymore.

Eli: Not–wait, what do you mean?

Lani: That’s why I went to the police station, to tell paulina that I–I wasn’t gonna let her take the blame.

Eli: I’m sure she wasn’t trying to hear that.

Lani: No. Not at all. She–she said that if the truth comes out, that I will lose my career, my family, my whole life. And then she begged me– she begged me to let her do this for me.

Eli: She is your mother.

Lani: Exactly. Which is why I cannot let her go to prison, eli. She won’t listen to me, but maybe you–maybe– maybe you can help me convince her that–that– that she–she can’t do this, that this–this is crazy.

Eli: Maybe it’s not.

Abe: I haven’t changed my mind about paulina. But I think the timing is far from optimal.

Julie: I disagree.

Abe: So you think I should declare my love while she’s sitting in a jail cell?

Julie: Frankly, I can’t think of anything more romantic.

Abe: I appreciate the encouragement, julie. But I think it’s best if I wait.

Julie: Well, of course, I can’t make you do anything. But I wouldn’t wait too long, abraham. I really think this is exactly what paulina needs to hear. Something life affirming, something–something hopeful. Something she can hang on to.

Xander: [Sighs] Nicole, why would you tell sarah that you broke up with eric?

Nicole: Because it’s the truth.

Xander: Of all the thoughtless things you could’ve said.

Rafe: I said watch your tone.

Nicole: Rafe–

Rafe: No, I’m not gonna stand here and let him talk to you like that.

Xander: It’s okay. It’s okay. I can still–I can still save this. All you have to do is tell sarah that you and eric got back together.

Nicole: What?

Xander: Yeah, just explain that you realized you made a horrible mistake, and you decided to give it another go, and now you’re heading off on a belated honeymoon.

Nicole: So you want me and my ex-husband to pretend that we’re on vacation with his baby daughter, who died tragically years ago?

Xander: It’s perfect.

Nicole: It’s insane.

Xander: Nicole, would you be a team player for just once in your life?

Nicole: No! I am not doing it.

Xander: Oh, I see. This is payback. You’re still angry that I blew up your marriage to father sanctimonious. And now you want my plan to go bust.

Nicole: I am not doing it because it won’t help. It will only make things worse.

Xander: What are you talking about?

Nicole: The longer that you don’t come clean with sarah, the harder it will be to keep mickey’s death a secret.

Rafe: Yeah, that’s true.

Xander: No one asked you, mate.

Nicole: Look, xander, you have been down this road before. Every day that you try to keep this a secret, the more you will lose control. And you risk sarah finding out the truth from someone else. But if you go to her now, you can make sure she hears it in–in a caring, sensitive, loving way from you. Isn’t that what you want?

Sarah: Is mickey upstairs?

Eric: No.

Sarah: Is she with your mom? I can just go there.

Eric: No. No. No. She’s not with my mom. She’s not with my dad or my sister.

Sarah: Then where is she?

Eric: Sarah, let’s sit down.

Sarah: Why? What’s going on?

Eric: There’s something I need to tell you, and it won’t be easy to hear.

Sarah: Eric, you’re scaring me. Is it–is it about mickey?

Eric: It’s time that you know. Ubrelvy helps u fight migraine attacks.

Lani: You don’t think it’s crazy for paulina to go to prison for something that I did?

Eli: I think she has a point. Baby, you have a lot more to lose.

Lani: We’re police officers. We took an oath to uphold the law, to be accountable for our actions, eli. Integrity. Courage. Trust. Do those words not mean anything to you?

Eli: Yes, of course they do. But I also took a much more important oath to you, my wife, the mother of my children.

Lani: Ugh, eli —

Eli: Lani, I cannot let you go to prison. I need you. Baby, our kids need you. And if that wasn’t a clean shooting, you’re looking at hard time.

Lani: What are you saying?

Eli: I’m saying I think it would be better for everyone if you just let paulina take the fall.

Paulina: I know this is scary, but we’ve been through scary times before. We just need to remember how strong we are.

Chanel: I don’t feel very strong.

Paulina: Oh, but you are. That’s one of the things about you that I’m most proud of. Oh, chanel, come here. Come here. Come here, baby. Come here. Come on. Oh, honey. Oh. I got you. I got you. You’ve got me. And that’s never–that’s never gonna change. Now, and I promise you, I promise you, chanel, everything–everything’s gonna be–it’s gonna be just fine. Okay? Just fine. Just fine.

Rafe: Found it.

Nicole: Oh, yay. Henry will be so happy. We’ve been looking for that for weeks.

Rafe: Weeks?

Nicole: Yeah. Hey.

[Both laugh]

Rafe: You know, I thought that was really nice, what you said to xander, by the way. Encouraging him to tell the truth to sarah before she finds out from someone else.

Nicole: Yeah, well, I’ve kept a lot of secrets I wish I hadn’T. So I thought I’d help the guy out.

Rafe: Mm. Very generous, especially considering everything that he’s done to you.

Nicole: Hm. What, you think I’m a pushover, hernandez?

Rafe: Actually, I was thinking it’s just one more reason why I love you.

Nicole: Aww. Mm.

Sarah: [Sobbing]

Xander: Sarah. What’s going on?

Sarah: How could you?

Xander: Sarah, I was just– thanks a lot, mate.

[Monitor beeping]

[Dramatic music]

TR: You looking for this? Don’t worry, lani. I’m not gonna hurt you. You’re my daughter. I love you… even though you shot me for no damn good reason.

Lani: You shot my husband in the head. You were about to hurt paulina, and you attacked my father.

TR: That’s not true.

Lani: He was unconscious!

TR: I mean it’s not true that abe carver is your father. I am, lani. You are my blood. And you shot me dead. How can you murder your own daddy?

Lani: No! [Gasps]

Eli: Lani. What is it?

Paulina: What have you done?

[Monitor beeping]

TR: Look, I don’t blame you for feeling that way. I mean, the way I treated you, it… it was unforgivable. I’m truly sorry.

Paulina: You’re what?

TR: You heard me. But I don’t expect you to forgive me. And I know this might just sound like words to you, but I’m not that man anymore. You are the love of my life.

And I was hoping that you might do me the honor of becoming my wife.

Paulina: You haven’t changed at all, have you, ray? You’re still the same lying violent dog you always were!

TR: You don’t know what you’re talking about.

Paulina: Give me back my damn phone. Give me my phone! Give me my–

TR: Get off of me, woman! You better get away from me!

Paulina: You’re gonna hit me? Oh, you’re gonna hit me? Go ahead. Go ahead! I’m not that scared little girl you used to beat up on, not anymore. I’m not afraid of you. Go ahead, you coward!

Lani: You son of a bitch.

TR: Lani. Baby, I can explain.

Rafe: Hey. Long night… for both of us. Thought you could use that… ’cause I… I have some questions about the shooting of tr coates.

Nicole: Chloe, it has been such a horrible night. I mean, between almost losing allie to the devil and–and tr coates being shot, I mean, rafe has been at the station almost all night. So I’m gonna take the day off and spoil him a little.

[Knock at door] I think that’s rafe. Okay, got to go. Bye.

[Cell phone beeps] Finally. I have been waiting all night to make love to you…

Male announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “days of our lives.”

[Soft orchestration]

Nicole: I thought you were rafe.

Eric: I kind of got that.

Nicole: I’m sorry.

Eric: No, it’s okay. I should’ve called first. I just wanted to check on allie, see how she’s doing.

Nicole: She is surrounded by people who love her, and we’re gonna take really good care of her. Come in. In fact, she’s, um, with lucas. They took henry to the park…

Eric: Mm.

Nicole: To feed the ducks.

Eric: Mm. Remember when we used to do that with holly? How–how is she?

Nicole: Oh, she’s still processing what happened between us, but she’s doing much better now. I know she’d love to see you. Maybe you can come back this afternoon?

Eric: I can’T. I’m, uh–I’m leaving salem.

Xander: What are we gonna tell sarah?

Maggie: Well, how about the truth? You know, every time I try to bring it up in the car, you cut me off, wouldn’t let me get in a word. And then you let sarah rush up to the nursery without saying a word. What could you possibly be thinking?

Xander: [Sighs]

Sarah: The baby’s room is empty. Where’s mickey? Where could she be?

Steve: Abraham.

Abe: Hey. Steve.

Steve: Looking good, dude.

Abe: Thank you. Well…

Steve: How you feeling?

Abe: I’m ready to get the hell out of here.

Steve: Oh, yeah.

Abe: How’s tripp?

Steve: Well, thanks to the devil, my son almost lost his life saving allie’S. Kayla actually had pronounced him dead.

Abe: My god.

Steve: But then…

[Sighs] Well, let’s just say we got our miracle. Tripp came back to us. He’s gonna be just fine.

Abe: Oh, that is wonderful news.

Steve: Yeah, the best. And ava’s there with him. She’s pretty much refusing to leave his side, so I thought I would come by, see if you’re doing okay.

Abe: Yeah, aside from the nasty bump. But as you know, I’m pretty hardheaded. But I am concerned about paulina.

Rafe: When you were arrested, you said you weren’t gonna answer any questions without your lawyer present. If you still feel that way, I am happy to call your attorney and get him down here before we talk.

Paulina: No, I’m okay. I have nothing to hide.

Rafe: Okay, then. All right, I’m just gonna need you to sign this… waiver to counsel before we start, yeah?

Paulina: Uh… of course.

Rafe: All right, then… let’s get started.

[Device beeps] Why don’t you start by telling me what happened the night that, uh, tr was shot?

Paulina: [Sighs] Uh… tr came over and talked me into going away with him, and when I got back into the living room, after I had packed, I– I heard a noise. And, uh, I found abe lying on the floor. He was hurt, unconscious, bleeding. I wanted to call for help, but tr wouldn’t let me. And, uh, he grabbed my phone. I tried to grab it back from him. And then he raised his arm like he was gonna hit me. And I vowed a very long time ago that I was never gonna let him hurt me again.

Rafe: Then what happened?

Paulina: Well, you know the answer to that. I shot the son of a bitch.

Rafe: Okay. This was recovered… at the scene, this weapon. Can you confirm that this is the weapon you used to shoot tr coates?

Paulina: Uh… yes, yes, it is.

Rafe: That’s lani’s service weapon. So can you explain to me how a cop’s gun ended up in your hand to shoot the shot that killed a man?

Lani: Um…

[Monitor beeping] I had a bad dream about ray.

Eli: Baby, I-I’m sorry. I don’t like to speak ill about the dead, but that man was a nightmare when he was alive.

Lani: He was. And he… he came so close to killing you, eli. And when I walked into paulina’s apartment, I… um…

Eli: Lani. You still haven’t told me what went down at paulina’s, except that paulina said that she shot tr.

Paulina: Go ahead, you coward!

Lani: You son of a bitch.

TR: Lani, baby, I can explain!

Eli: So? Lani, what happened? Ubrelvy helps u fight migraine attacks.

Abe: I heard you came into paulina’s apartment right after tr was shot.

Steve: I did. You on the floor, tr dead… I got to say, I’ve been wondering exactly what happened before I got there.

Abe: What did lani and paulina tell you?

Steve: Well, paulina said she shot coates. But I’m just not clear on how that happened.

Abe: What do you mean?

Steve: Well, apparently she used lani’s gun. How did she get her hands on a service weapon?

Paulina: [Stammers] I’m sorry. With all that’s happened, I’m getting ahead of myself. Rushed straight to the part about tr getting shot.

Rafe: That’s okay. Take your time.

Paulina: Uh… tr was about to hit me, like I said, and that’s when lani came in, and she, uh– she told tr to put his hands up, step away from me.

Rafe: And then what happened?

Paulina: Lani holstered her gun so she could arrest him, and just as she was about to handcuff him, I grabbed her gun.

Rafe: Oh. So you grabbed it from the holster?

Paulina: Yes, I did. And I shot that bastard right through his heart.

Lani: [Sighs] This isn’t your case, detective grant, all right? So why don’t you focus your energy on getting out of this bed and back into ours?

Eli: That sounds like a plan.

Lani: Sounds like a really good plan.

Eli: Maybe I can’t ask questions, but I’m worried about you. I’m worried about your mom, too.

Lani: I know. I am, too, which is why I need to get down to the station and check on her, all right? Hey. I am so grateful for you. And I’m so happy that you’re gonna be okay. I love you very much.

Eli: I love you, too.

[Monitor beeping]

[Dramatic music]

Rafe: Paulina… why? Why did you shoot tr? Because the way you describe the situation, it does not sound like he was a threat to you in that moment.

Paulina: The man shot eli! He attacked abe, who was out cold bleeding on the ground! I couldn’t let him get away with any of that!

Rafe: Again, you said that he was just about to be handcuffed, which means he wasn’t a threat.

Paulina: Do you know how many times when I was just a young girl that the cops came to our door after the man beat me to within an inch of my life and they just gave him a good talking-to and then left me there to get an even worse beating behind that same door?

Rafe: Well, I’m sorry that happened to you. The way police responded to domestic violence in the past was criminal, and we’ve changed things, but I’m sure we can still do better.

Paulina: Thank you for admitting that.

Rafe: Mm-hmm. But you knew. You knew that that wasn’t gonna happen to you this time. I mean, you said that lani, your very own daughter, was about to handcuff tr and take him away. So what happened, hmm? Did he resist arrest? Lani do something?

Paulina: Lani did nothing wrong! With relapsing forms of ms,

Rafe: Right now, I am more concerned with what you did and establishing your motives for shooting an unarmed man. I want to help you here, paulina, but… I need you to tell me the truth.

Paulina: I guess I just lost it, and I shot–I shot tr. He deserved it.

Rafe: Okay. Is there anything you want to add to that?

Paulina: No. Nothing. I’ve given my statement. That’s all I have to say.

Rafe: All right. All right, then… we’ll continue this later.

[Device beeps]

[Telephone rings]

[Door closes]

Abe: How did paulina get her hands on lani’s service weapon?

Steve: I just don’t know. But you were unconscious the whole time, right? You didn’t see or hear anything?

Abe: No, I was–I was out. I wa– maybe I did hear something.

Steve: What?

[Door opens]

Eli: Hey.

Abe: Hey.

Eli: You guys having a party without me?

Steve: Eli. Good to see you up and around.

Eli: Kind of happy about it myself.

Steve: Well, I guess I’ll get back to my son and, uh, let you guys catch up. We’ll be talking, right, abe?

Abe: That we will.

Steve: All right. Take care of yourself, eli.

Eli: Will do.

[Monitor beeping]

Abe: Well… I see that you finally woke up after your two-month nap.

[Both chuckle]

Eli: I guess I had to catch up on all that sleep I missed since lani had the twins.

Abe: Hmm, that’s a hell of a way to do it.

Eli: Yeah. I’m just sorry about what lani and paulina have gone through.

Abe: You mean because of tr, that son of a bitch who shot you?

Eli: Yeah. Well, paulina sure did make him pay for it, though, didn’t she?

Paulina: Ooh. Just stay cool, mama. Stick to the story.

[Telephone rings]

[Door closes] Aren’t you a sight for sore eyes?

Lani: Chanel and I– we wanted to come yesterday, but they wouldn’t let us see you.

Paulina: How is chanel doing with all this?

Lani: She’s shaken… and so worried about you.

Paulina: You tell her I’m gonna be just fine.

Lani: Well, I’m not… because we both know that you’re not the one who should be sitting here. It should be me.

Eric: I’m glad you’re home.

Nicole: Mm.

Eric: I wouldn’t want to– to leave town without saying goodbye.

Nicole: Eric, at the risk of sounding self-centered, which we both know I am…

Eric: [Chuckles]

Nicole: Are you leaving salem because of me?

Sarah: Mickey is with eric?

Xander: Yes.

Sarah: Mom, would you give xander and I a moment, please?

Maggie: Uh, well, I’m sure that xander would agree that anything that you want to discuss with him, you can certainly say it in front of me.

Xander: Actually, maggie, I think sarah’s right. We should probably sort this out just the two of us.

Maggie: Fine.

Sarah: Do you want to tell me why mickey is with eric?

Xander: He is mickey’s father.

Sarah: Yes, but he doesn’t know that. You and I agreed, xander. Everyone thinks that you are mickey’s father, including my mother, so none of this makes sense. Unless something’s changed. I thought that you didn’t have a problem keeping the secret about my baby.

Xander: I didn’t think so either.

Sarah: Then why are you acting like the one who’s lost their mind?

Xander: Sarah, look, I just–

[Sighs] There is something I have to tell you.

From prom dresses

Sarah: Well… what is it? What do you want to tell me?

Xander: Eric knows that he’s mickey’s father.

Sarah: You told him?

Xander: No.

Sarah: Was it nicole?

Xander: Actually, it was.

Sarah: Why would she do that? She was so concerned that eric would leave her if he found out that he had a child with me that she swore that she would keep this secret. Damn it! I knew I shouldn’t have trusted her.

Xander: Where are you going?

Sarah: I’m gonna go get my baby!

Xander: No, you can’t!

Sarah: I’m gonna have a word with nicole!

Xander: You can’t!

Sarah: Why not?

Xander: Sarah, if you would just please listen to me. Just hear me out for a second. It’s–it’s not–it’s not what you think.

Sarah: Well?

Xander: Well, you have to understand that, you know, when you were injected with that drug, none of us knew if you were ever gonna be okay again, if you would ever be able to be a mother to little mickey ever again. And, you know, your child came so close to losing one parent, we thought it was only fair that–it was only right that the other parent should know the truth.

Sarah: Well, I’m better now, so I’m gonna go get my–

Xander: You can’T.

Sarah: You know, there is a thing called mother’s intuition, and mine is screaming at me right now that there’s something that you are not telling me about my daughter.

Xander: It’s not about mickey. It’s, um… it’s about you, sarah. Maggie and I, we– we’ve been planning this big “welcome home, sarah” scottish breakfast just for you.

Sarah: A scottish breakfast?

Xander: Yes. Henderson knows all about it. He’s been working on it with the kitchen staff all morning, making all my favorites, which I’m sure are about to become your favorites.

Sarah: Hmm. You seem very confident.

Xander: Ah, well, you’ll totally get it when you try it. I mean, there’s gonna be square sausage and fried haggis and–and–and streaky bacon and tattie scones.

Sarah: That’s enough to feed an army.

Xander: Yeah, well, I mean, you just got out of hospital. You need to get your strength back up.

Sarah: [Chuckles] Oh, okay. That’s very sweet of you.

Xander: Yes.

Sarah: But, um, I’m just gonna grab something on the way to eric and nicole’S.

Xander: Oh, but you can’t go see mickey, you know, wearing this.

Sarah: What’s wrong with it?

Xander: Well, I didn’t want to say anything earlier, but there’s actually–there’s a small hole in the back here. It’s just really all torn up and–

Sarah: Xander!

Xander: I’m sorry. I made it so much worse. Look, why don’t you run upstairs and get changed? And, you know, by the time you’ve done that, breakfast will be ready. Come back down. We’ll have a nice feast and a chat and then go get mackenzie together–what do you say?

Sarah: Okay. I’ve learned how hard it is to say no to you. So, yeah, okay, we’ll have breakfast very quick, and then we’ll go ’cause I’m very excited to see my little girl.

Xander: Of course you are.

Sarah: Okay. Tattie scones?

Xander: Oh, you’re nna love them.

[Chuckles]

Sarah: Huh.

Eric: Are you kidding? Why would you think I’d be leaving town because of you?

Nicole: Well, I don’t know.

[Sighs] Maybe because I’m seeing rafe.

Eric: Nicole, I told you… I’m really happy for you.

Nicole: You know, it’s–it’s funny.

[Sighs] Um… I know what we had is over. You know, different people on different paths, but…

[Sighs] Still every time I see you, there’s a tiny part of me that has a hard time letting you go. We’re still friends, though, right?

Eric: [Chuckles] You’re the best friend I ever had.

Nicole: Your love made me a better person.

Eric: Oh, I know there’s some people who wouldn’t agree with this, including you… but your love made me a better person, too.

[Groans]

Nicole: Hey.

[Soft sentimental music]

Lani: I don’t feel good about this. It’s wrong.

Paulina: Like I said at the apartment, I know what I’m doing. Nothing has changed.

Lani: You’re not the one who killed ray.

Paulina: They only know what we tell them. I just need you to stick to the story.

Lani: And how do I do that? I’ve been able to avoid giving a statement so far, with eli waking up and my dad being hurt, but I cannot avoid rafe forever, and I’m– I’m gonna have to answer some really tough questions, like how you supposedly killed ray with my service weapon.

Paulina: Oh, well, baby girl, I’ve already answered that one. I just told rafe that I grabbed your gun from your holster while you were trying to arrest tr.

Lani: That’s not what happened.

Paulina: Says who?

Lani: Okay, I can’T. I can’t, paulina. I can’t just be quiet and let you take the blame for something that I did. I am going to confess to killing ray.

Paulina: Like hell you are! Still struggling with ibs-c, mike knew he needed a plan.

Eli: Oh, so you got to be the mayor of salem to get the good jell-o, huh?

[Scoffs] They keep giving me the green one. Man…

[Monitor beeping]

Abe: Hmm.

Eli: You’re kind of quiet. You okay?

Abe: Yeah, you know, I’m fine. It’s just– it’s just something that steve said.

Eli: What was that?

Abe: Well, he–he said that paulina used lani’s gun to shoot ray.

Eli: What? Paulina used lani’s gun? Wait, no, I-I just assumed that she used tr’s gun, or she had her own weapon for personal safety.

Abe: So lani didn’t say anything about–about that?

Eli: No, I mean, she’s– she’s pretty stressed and– and–and upset about the whole situation, but, no, she hasn’t offered up any details. Wait. There–there was one thing that was strange.

Abe: What?

Eli: The only thing lani said to me was that paulina said she shot ray. Why do you think she put it that way? Lani was there. She witnessed the shooting.

Paulina: I’m no lawyer, but you’re a cop who shot an unarmed man. There’s no defense for that.

Lani: I came in. I saw my dad on the floor possibly dead. And I already knew that ray had shot the father of my children. And then I saw him raise his hand to you. And, oh, my god, I just… I just–I lost it. I lost it.

Paulina: The bastard deserved it! But as much as he deserved it, you can’t confess to that, baby. They will lock you up. You will lose your job, your freedom, those precious years with your husband and children.

Lani: Paulina, you will go to prison, too.

Paulina: Maybe. Maybe not.

Rafe: Evening.

Eric: Hey.

Nicole: Um, eric was just saying goodbye.

Rafe: Oh. You’re leaving?

Eric: I am. I’m going back to africa.

Rafe: Oh. Well… well, you’ll be missed, man.

Eric: Thanks.

Rafe: Yeah.

Eric: Take care. Rafe.

Rafe: Yep. Yeah. Well… that was some hug.

Nicole: [Chuckles] It was totally plutonic. You know that. Okay, don’t look at me like that, please.

Rafe: Okay. I’m sorry. It’s just you two were married and, uh, quite recently, in fact. And, um… yeah, he, uh, was your–your first love, right? So…

Nicole: True. But you are my current love.

Rafe: Oh?

Nicole: Mm-hmm. And you have absolutely no reason to be jealous.

Rafe: Really?

Nicole: Mm-hmm. None, zero, zip.

Rafe: Okay. Good.

Maggie: Did you tell sarah about mickey?

Xander: I couldn’T.

Maggie: Xander!

Xander: Maggie, you got to understand. The last time I told sarah that mickey died, she was so angry about me swapping out her child for kristen and brady’s, allowing her to fall in love with their daughter and denying her the opportunity to properly mourn her own that I lost her.

Maggie: But you got her back.

Xander: But then I lost her again to this bloody drug. I finally got her back, maggie. And if I tell her the truth, I’m gonna lose her all over again.

Maggie: But the lie, it’s so big, xander.

Xander: I know. I just–I just feel horrible about it, but I just– I need to find a way to keep sarah in the dark about mickey just until I can figure something out.

Maggie: Xander. Sarah forgave you once. She’ll forgive you again.

Sarah: Forgive xander for what?

Limu emu

[Both moan softly]

Rafe: Right. Yes. Okay, see?

Nicole: Mm-hmm.

Rafe: I know. I shouldn’t be jealous.

Nicole: Right.

Rafe: Eric is part of your past. I have a past, too, obviously.

Both: Yeah.

Nicole: Most of us do.

Rafe: That’s right.

Nicole: Yeah.

Rafe: Yeah, definitely. You know, I think maybe being jealous is just part of being in love, in a relationship.

Nicole: Yeah. It can be.

Rafe: Yeah.

Nicole: But, uh, for you, in your case, I advise you, sir, not to be jealous, because I am completely, absolutely 100% committed to you and only you.

Rafe: Oh, okay. I like that. Yes, I do. So maybe we should take this conversation to the bedroom… maybe even the shower.

Nicole: [Gasps]

Rafe: I don’t know.

Nicole: Race you!

[Laughter]

Xander: I was just hoping that you’d forgive me for having to rush out on a work emergency on your first day back home. But I promise I’ll be back soon, my love. And, hey, uh, why don’t you stay with sarah and enjoy the scottish breakfast without me?

Maggie: Scottish breakfast?

Xander: Oh, don’t tell me you forgot about the special welcome-home breakfast. Henderson knows all about it. Don’t forget the streaky bacon, okay? My love… I’ll be back soon, and we’ll go get mickey together, yeah?

Sarah: Okay.

[Dramatic music]

Abe: You know, it’s possible that… that lani wasn’t there when tr got shot.

Eli: It doesn’t make sense. I mean, how could paulina have gotten lani’s gun?

Paulina: What have you done?

Abe: Maybe… maybe that’S… who paulina was talking to.

Eli: Wait, you remember something?

Abe: I think maybe I heard paulina talking to lani.

Paulina: Women like me… victims of domestic violence… we can suffer from ptsd. We–we can interpret the words and behavior of a man that hurt us in such a way that when we– we finally find the strength to fight back, we think that we’re acting in self-defense. We actually believe we’re fighting for our lives. Now, maybe I can convince a judge and a jury that’s what happened here.

Lani: I can’t imagine what you went through.

Paulina: Oh, baby, I got stories about what that man did to me I have not told anyone.

[Sighs] I’m still– I made myself– I made myself forget because I’m still–I’m still scared of the memories. I’m still ashamed that I didn’t have the strength to just leave him. I was too weak and just kept coming back for more.

Lani: No, no. I will not let you take the blame. You were ray’s victim. And you did find the strength to leave, to protect yourself, to protect me. And that took… incredible courage.

Paulina: And… what did I do with it? After all these years, I let ray back into my life, into your life. He hurt us all! And I am not going to let him hurt my baby girl… not anymore.

Paulina: Lani, please let me do this for you.

Lani: I can’T. I can’T.

Paulina: Oh, well, if not for you, then let me do it for eli, for abe, most of all, for jules and carver. Now, they all need you. Me, they can–they can get along without me just fine.

Lani: Yeah. But I can’t get along with you. I need you.

Paulina: And I need you to let me do this for you. And there’s not another word to say about it.

Eli: What did you hear exactly?

Abe: Well, after tr hit me, I went down… and I think I heard paulina say… “what have you done?” Now, why would she say that? Oh, my god.

Eli: Do you think lani shot tr?

Xander: Eric, I-I heard you’re back in town, mate.

Eric: Would you please excuse me?

Xander: Please don’t rush off. Look, I know you hate me, and I don’t blame you, but I’m desperate, eric, I really need your help.

[Knock at door]

Nicole: Coming. Hi.

Sarah: Good, you’re here. I-I’ve come to take my baby home.

Days of Our Lives Transcript

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Jake: You cold?

Ava: Why would I be cold? It’s may.

Jake: [Chuckles] It’s cold and it’s may.

[Mimics explosion] And creepy.

Ava: Yeah. It was your great idea to come here.

Jake: Yeah, it was. And it certainly didn’t put you in a chipper mood, now did it?

Ava: Okay, listen, I’m sorry. All right? I am sorry. I just–I–I cannot believe you have decided to go work for dimera again. I thought that you were done with that nest of vipers. And especially the queen viper herself.

Jake: Queen viper herself? You wouldn’t mean gabi, now would you?

Ava: Oh, yeah, gabi. Yes, and in spite of all the petty and miserable things she’s done, she still has her hooks in you.

Jake: No, no, she doesn’t have her hooks in me, okay? She presented a very good argument for me to back to dimera.

Ava: Mm-hmm. So when she was presenting that argument, was she on the top, bottom–

Jake: Okay, no, no, no. It wasn’t like that. Wasn’t like that. Look, it is my birthright to be part of dimera. Just like it is chad’s and ej’S. And I never should have let them chase me out of that company in the first place. Plus, shin is a big fan of mine. Gabi seems to think that I can help her stabilize the company.

Ava: Yeah. And it helps her keep you in her orbit. There’s gonna be business dinners, business trips…

Jake: Trust me when I say gabi and I are done.

Ava: Mmm. So you’re relationship’s just platonic then, huh? Kind of like ours.

[Sighs]

Steve: Mmm.

Kayla: [Giggles] Ahh. Hello.

Steve: Hi.

Kayla: That was quick. I just texted you 20 minutes ago.

Steve: Yeah, I was down at the station, um, asking about allie.

Kayla: And?

Steve: Well, if they know anything, they’re not talking.

Kayla: [Sighs]

Steve: How’s the baby?

Kayla: Perfect.

Steve: Ah, finally, some good news.

Kayla: Yeah.

Steve: What about ciara?

Kayla: She’s fine. Uh, she and ben are, predictably, over the moon.

Steve: Good.

Kayla: They told me what they named him.

Steve: Yeah?

Kayla: They named him bo.

Steve: That’s perfect.

Kate: Lucas, it’s me. I gave you 24 hours, and I haven’t heard a word from you.

[Groans] Everyone is looking for you and sami. They’re wondering where you are. And allie is in trouble, and she needs you. I know that I promised I would keep it a secret what you did to sami, but I am going to have to tell roman.

Roman: Tell roman what?

[Phone beeps]

Ciara: Ben, am I seeing things?

Ben: If you are, then I am too.

Ciara: Daddy?

Bo: In the flesh. Well, not exactly in the flesh.

[Sighs] I’m the one who taught you how to remap a fuel-injection system.

Ciara: [Gasps] It really is you. You came back. You were at the cemetery.

Bo: Yeah, that was me.

[Baby cries]

Ciara: You saved his life.

[Baby cooing]

[Sniffles] Honey… this is your grandad. Daddy, I named him bo.

[Baby cooing]

Bo: Thank you for that.

Eric: Tripp? Can you hear me?

Demon tripp: Well, that was surprisingly easy. The boy didn’t even put up a fight. But it seems his sacrifice was for naught. Allie is still going to die… and by tripp’s own hands.

Marlena: No! God, no!

Tripp: No! I won’t let you hurt her.

John: Let me help you, son.

Tripp: There is no help. There’s only–

Marlena: Tripp! No! No!

[Glass shattering]

John: [Groans]

[Dramatic music]

Male announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “days of our lives.”

[Soft orchestration]

John: Oh, this is bad.

Eric: Yeah, let’s get down there.

Marlena: Allie?

Johnny: Hey.

Marlena: Allie?

Johnny: Hey. Everything’s fine. It’s fine. It’s fine.

Allie: No, it’s not. Wh–where are we?

Johnny: We’re at st. Luke’S.

Allie: We’re at a church? Why? Wh–what’s going on?

Marlena: Look, we’ll explain about all that. But what’s important is how are you? How do you feel?

Allie: I– I had awful dreams. The baby– there was a baby.

Johnny: Yeah. Allie, listen, that was ciara’s baby. He’s fine now.

Allie: But I– what did I do?

Marlena: Johnny–

Johnny: No, she needs to know. Like I did. You were possessed.

Allie: No. No, that was you.

Johnny: Yeah, yeah, I was. Uh, but then the devil went from me into you. And you fought him so hard, allie, you really did.

Allie: Tripp… tripp–just now I heard his voice. Tripp was here, I know he was. Where is he?

John: Don’t do it, don’t do it. Don’t touch him.

Eric: Tripp. Tripp, it’s eric. Can you hear me?

Tripp: Is–is allie okay?

John: Yeah, she’s fine, kid. She is just fine.

Eric: You saved her.

Tripp: The devil?

Eric: He’s gone. He’s gone, thanks to you.

Tripp: He tried to hurt allie.

John: Whoa, whoa, hang in there, come on, kid. Hang in there. Stay with me, stay with me.

Eric: We need an ambulance at st. Luke’S. There’s massive trauma. Just get here as fast as you can.

[Phone beeps] Ubrelvy helps u fight migraine attacks.

Marlena: Easy, easy. We heard the sirens.

Eric: John’s gone with tripp in the ambulance.

Allie: What are you talking about? Where’s tripp?

Eric: What does she know?

Allie: I know that tripp was here. You know what happened to him, don’t you? Tell me! For god’s sake, tell me.

Ciara: I never thought that I would see you again.

Bo: I’ve been watching over you all along. You, your mom, your brother, and now…this little guy. He’s safe.

Ciara: But the devil is still out there, dad.

Bo: No. The devil’s gone. He’s not coming back.

Ciara: Are you sure?

Bo: Am I– is that any way to speak to your old man?

Ciara: [Chuckles] No. Not at all.

Bo: Yeah, baby, I’m sure. You and this little guy are safe. It’s over.

Ciara: How do you know that, dad? How can you be sure?

Bo: Because one good man sacrificed everything to get rid of him.

Steve: You know, baby, I see a lot of bo in ciara. Don’t you?

Kayla: Oh, all the time. And now she’s so fierce about that little baby. Well, it’s like her dad was always so fierce about his kids.

Steve: Yeah, and that was pretty fierce.

Kayla: Yeah.

Steve: Hey, do you have time to give stephanie and joe a call and tell them they have a new cousin?

Kayla: Yeah.

Steve: Or is it a second cousin? I can never…

Kayla: John, hi.

Steve: Keep that straight. Hey, john. What’s the matter?

John: Tripp’s had an accident.

Steve: What kind of accident?

John: He took a fall, steve. It’s not good. He’s in the er.

Kayla: I–I better go down there.

Steve: Okay, let’s go.

Kayla: No, no, you– you need to stay here and call ava first, okay?

Steve: [Sighs] I’m right behind you.

Jake: I’m starting to think that maybe sometimes you don’t like gabi very much.

Ava: [Scoffs] You’re very funny.

Jake: So a minute ago… when you mentioned that our relationship is platonic, would I be out of line if I said maybe you don’t like that very much? Like, you know, if gabi hadn’t interrupted us that maybe…

Ava: Maybe I’m in a bad mood because gabi interrupted us.

Jake: Huh. Yeah, we don’t seem to be having very much fun here, huh? Maybe we should…head home?

Ava: Yeah. Yeah, let’s go.

[Phone rings] Hmm. It’s steve.

[Phone beeps] Hey, steve, what’s up?

Steve: Ava, tripp’s in the hospital. Uh, there’s been an accident.

Ava: Okay, how bad is it?

Steve: I–I don’t know yet. You just need to get down here right away.

Ava: Yeah, I’ll–I’ll be– I’ll be right there.

[Phone beeps]

Jake: Everything okay?

Ava: It’s tripp. I have to get to tripp.

Roman: Wow. Must, uh– whatever it is, this must be, uh, real bad. You’re, uh, ready to set tables rather than, uh, talk to me.

Kate: I– I’m not trying not to talk to you, I’m just trying to figure out how to tell you.

Roman: Tell me what?

Kate: I know that you’re worried about sami.

Roman: And?

Kate: Well, and I am too.

Roman: What?

Lucas: Wait, wait. Because of me? With depression, you just feel…blah.

Lucas: All right, mom. Mom, I can’t breathe. Come on. Hi, roman, how you doing?

Roman: Hey, lucas.

Kate: Okay, so where the hell were you, and why didn’t you answer my phone calls?

Lucas: Well–well, before I get to that, why don’t you just tell me how allie’s doing. Is she okay? Where is she?

Roman: Well, lucas, we’re, uh, sorry about that, but, uh, we don’t know.

Allie: You said I was possessed. Did I do that? Did I hurt tripp?

Eric: Allie… you didn’t hurt tripp, I promise.

Johnny: Allie, you fought the devil. You really fought him.

Eric: Listen, you’re in pretty rough shape. We need to get you home.

Allie: But I need to see tripp.

Eric: No, you don’T. The doctor’s gonna take care of tripp, and we’re gonna take care of you. You need to take care of henry.

Allie: Wait, but ciara’s baby?

Johnny: We didn’t even know where ciara was, you told us. And because of that, that baby boy is with his mom and dad. So come on. Let’s get you home.

Marlena: Yeah. Let’s get you home.

Eric: Come on.

Marlena: Come on, sweetie.

Ciara: Wait, who was it? What do you mean, “sacrifice everything”?

Bo: You’ll find out soon enough. But don’t worry. You and that little guy have a whole lot of bradys and hortons watching over you. Even a weston or two.

Ciara: [Weeps]

Bo: Oh, ben.

Ben: Yes, sir?

Bo: Please, don’t call me sir.

Ciara: [Laughs]

Ben: Yes, sir. I mean–I mean, um–

Bo: Look, man, um… I know you’re worried about having a baby, and I know why. But you gotta let it go. If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s all about redemption. And you, young man? You’ve redeemed yourself. You’re a good man. Mm, you’re an okay husband.

[Chuckles] And if you work real hard, you’ll be a great dad.

Ciara: [Sniffles]

Ben: Thank you.

Bo: Oh. [Clears throat] I love you, little one. But I gotta go.

Ciara: Wait, no, dad–

Bo: Yeah, there’s something I gotta take care of. Tell your mom I love her. Give that little guy lots of kisses for me. And, little one, I’m really proud of you.

Ciara: [Sobs]

Bo: All right. I’m out of here.

Ciara: Dad, wait!

[Sobs]

[Sniffles] I always wanted you to meet my dad.

[Sniffles]

Ava: John, where is he? Wh–where’s tripp?

John: Took him straight to the trauma unit down that way. Steve’s with him.

Jake: I’ll wait here. Go.

Ava: Okay.

Jake: He gonna be okay?

John: I don’t know.

Kayla: 360. Clear.

[Paddles thump]

Ava: Is he gonna be okay? What–what happened to him?

[Monitor flatlining] Why are you stopping? Do it again.

Kayla: I’m–I’m sorry.

Steve: [Groans]

Kayla: I’m sorry.

Ava: Wh–wh–why are you– why are you sorry? Do–do–do–do it again.

Kayla: No, I’m sorry…

Ava: S–s–save him.

Kayla: It’s– it’s too late, he’s gone.

[Breathes unsteadily]

Ava: No, no, no. No, no, he–he can’t be gone. No. Tripp? Tripp?

Steve: Come on. Lemons.

Roman: What? Wait a minute. Sami’s in the hospital? Why are you just telling me this?

Lucas: Listen, we were skiing in italy, and she was going down this run– and I told her not to do it. I told her it was too advanced, and she wouldn’t listen to me. And she wiped out. She broke her leg. She fractured her leg, she has other fractures– it’s bad. She’s in traction and she can’t fly right now. There’s no way.

Kate: Ah ha. So why didn’t you call?

Lucas: Because the reception was terrible, that’s why. I mean, we did get your message about allie. Which is why, since sami heard that, she insisted that I fly home immediately. So here I am.

Roman: So you just left left her there?

Lucas: I didn’t leave her. I mean, she’ll be fine. You know? She’s in the hands of trained professionals.

Roman: All right, I need to let marlena know.

Kate: Okay, what’s the real story?

Lucas: I just told you the real story.

Kate: Oh. Oh, she’s really in the hospital?

Lucas: Yeah, she is, mom. Now, why would I lie about something like that?

Kate: Oh, I don’t know, maybe because you lied the first time you kidnapped her. Why not this time?

Ben: You know, now more than ever…

[Baby coos] I am so glad we named him after your dad.

Ciara: Mmm.

[Sniffles] It was him at the cemetery, ben.

[Baby cooing]

[Sniffles] He’s the reason why I was able to step in the pentagram.

Ben: Ciara, he’s why we’re with our son right now.

Jake: Hey. Gimme this good news.

Ciara: [Sniffles]

Jake: Oh, I’ll, uh– I’ll come back.

Ciara: No, no, it’s fine. Come. You can meet– come meet bo.

Jake: Oh, man.

Ciara: Aw.

Jake: Aw, he’s beautiful.

Ciara: [Sniffles] Mmm.

Jake: [Sighs] And he’s okay.

Ciara: Yeah.

Jake: You are too, right?

Ciara: Uh–[Chuckles weakly] Yeah. Yeah, I am. It’s been a crazy night though.

Jake: Sure has.

Both: Yeah.

Ciara: [Exhales unsteadily]

Ben: What is it, jake?

Jake: I wish I didn’t have to tell you this, but, um… ava got a call about a half hour ago. Tripp was in an accident. Although john made it sound like it was less of an accident, more of A…sacrifice.

Ciara: Ben, my dad said something about a– oh, my god, jake… is tripp dead?

Ava: Kayla, please. Kayla, please do something.

Kayla: Um, I’m sorry. There is nothing else that can be done. I’m–I’m really so sorry.

Ava: Stop saying you’re sorry. You’re not.

Steve: Ava, stop, please.

Ava: No, the hell I will.

Steve: Come on.

Ava: You happy? You happy now?

Steve: [Groans]

Ava: Huh? Now that you got everything that you wanted? You hated–you hated that– that steve and I had– had a son, didn’t you? And so–so you killed him. You just let him die.

Steve: No, ava– ava, stop it! Stop it! Our–our son is dead. Kayla did everything she could. But he’s gone. And you have to stop this. Out of respect for him.

Kayla: Uh… we’re–we’re gonna leave you alone.

Steve: [Sighs]

[Sniffles]

[Emotional music]

[Sniffles]

Ava: He’s dead.

[Sniffling] Our sweet, perfect boy is dead.

[Sobbing]

[Both crying]

Kayla: [Sniffles]

John: Kay?

Kayla: Uh… I lost him.

John: Oh, my god.

Kayla: I did everything I could, but I–

[Sobs] But I lost him.

John: I know, I know that. I know, kay, I know.

Kayla: [Exhales heavily]

Johnny: Grandma, you’re a doctor. You think tripp’s gonna make it?

Marlena: Oh, hi.

Allie: He’s sleeping. I don’t even remember the last time I saw him.

Marlena: Well, he’s– he’s been fine. We’ve all been looking after him.

Johnny: Yeah.

Allie: Thank you. But now you need to tell me what happened–what I did.

Marlena: Well, maybe that can wait until you’re a little more rested.

Allie: No, I can’t sleep. I mean, I need to know. You told me that the devil left you and went into me? How?

Johnny: Okay, okay, do you, um–[Clears throat] Do you remember coming to the mansion to tell me off?

Allie: Yes, because you’d–

Johnny: Because I had told tripp about you and chanel. But that wasn’t me, allie.

Allie: It was the devil?

Johnny: You figured that out. And you were helping me fight. But then…

Allie: He went into me?

Johnny: I was so worried about you. I missed you.

Allie: I don’t remember much, but I missed you too. Looking to get back in your type 2 diabetes zone?

Lucas: You think I kidnapped sami?

Kate: Oh, spare me. Seriously, it wouldn’t be the first time.

Lucas: Shh.

Kate: Hey, so did you talk to marlena?

Roman: Uh, voicemail. Left a message. It’s not as if she doesn’t have enough to worry about with allie, now this with sami.

Lucas: Well, you said that something was going on with allie before. She was in some kind of trouble. What’s going on?

Kate: Lucas, allie’s possessed.

Lucas: By the devil? You’re busting my chops not telling you that sami’s in the hospital, and my own daughter’s possessed by the devil now?

Eric: No, no, not any more.

Roman: What happened?

Eric: [Sighs] Tripp, he’s in the hospital. He saved allie’s life.

Lucas: He saved her?

Eric: Allie’s life was at stake. The devil had control of her, and, tripp, he called the devil into him. And then when he had control of tripp, he tried to kill allie.

Lucas: What?

Eric: He threw himself out the church tower window.

Lucas: So where is allie now? Is she at the hospital too?

Eric: No, mom and johnny, they took her over to nicole’s to see henry.

Lucas: I gotta go. I gotta get to her.

[Tense music]

Marlena: Why don’t you get some rest?

Johnny: [Sighs] Allie, you’re falling down tired. Why don’t you do what grandma says.

Allie: I’m home. Thank you.

Johnny: Yeah.

Allie: Thank you.

Marlena: Mm-hmm.

[Both sigh]

Johnny: [Sniffs]

[Clears throat]

[Sighs] If tripp doesn’t make it, I don’t know what that’ll do to her.

[Phone ringing]

Marlena: It’s john.

[Phone beeps] John?

John: I’m afraid it’s bad news, doc.

Jake: Your father was here?

Ciara: First at the cemetery, and then right here just now.

[Baby hiccupping]

Ben: John said tripp was trying to save allie.

Jake: Yeah. Yeah, he got the devil to leave her and go into him.

Ben: And he jumped.

Ciara: Um, but allie’s okay? She’s fine?

Jake: Yeah.

Ciara: Back at the cabin, and then at the cemetery, it was so terrifying to look at her beautiful face and to see so much hatred and evil.

[Baby coos]

Ben: Kid, I sure hope the rest of your life is is a lot calmer than the beginning. And I’m so glad that you’re okay.

Ciara: [Sniffles] Yeah.

Jake: Dude… congratulations.

Ciara: Thank you.

Jake: I’m happy for you guys.

Ciara: Thank you.

Jake: All right, I’m gonna go check on tripp. Ava can’t lose him.

Ciara: [Exhales heavily]

[Phone beeps]

John: Doc sends her love.

Jake: It’s bad, isn’t it?

John: Tripp died a few minutes ago.

Jake: Where’s ava?

Kayla: Uh, she’s with steve in the trauma room with tripp.

Jake: All right.

[Emotional music]

Steve: He looks like a little boy.

Ava: I wouldn’t know.

[Sniffles] I wasn’t allowed to know him till– so many lost years. So much wasted time.

Steve: [Sighs] Think about the time we did have with him. Okay?

Ava: [Sniffles]

Steve: He loved you, ava.

Ava: [Laughs weakly] That was a damn stupid thing to do.

[Sniffles] I’m poison, and he should have just run away.

Steve: Oh, come on. Come on. No.

Ava: I didn’t deserve a son like him.

[Sniffles] He sure as hell didn’t deserve a mother like me.

Steve: That’s not gonna help.

Ava: [Laughs weakly] Maybe I don’t deserve to be helped.

Steve: Ava, come on. Come on.

Ava: [Sniffles]

[Sniffs]

[Whimpers]

[Sniffles]

[Sobs]

Jake: Ava…

Ava: [Sobs] He’s gone. My baby is gone.

Jake: [Sighs] I’m sorry.

Ava: [Sobs]

Jake: I’m so sorry.

From prom dresses

Johnny: So he died saving allie.

Marlena: “No greater love.”

Johnny: I don’t know how we’re gonna tell her.

Allie: Tell me what?

Lucas: Allie. Allie, it’s me. It’s dad, open up.

Allie: Dad!

[Melancholy music]

Ava: [Sniffles]

Jake: Hey, how about I get you home?

Ava: [Sniffling]

[Moans]

[Weeping]

Jake: I’m so sorry.

Steve: Okay. Okay.

Ava: [Sniffles]

Steve: [Gasps]

[Weeping] Why him? Oh, why? My boy.

[Sniffles] Oh, no.

[Weeping]

[Moans]

[Door closes]

[Sniffles]

Kayla: I–I called stephanie and joe. I didn’t want them to hear it from anybody else.

Steve: My sweetness.

Kayla: Come here, come here, come here.

Steve: [Weeping]

Kayla: Come here, oh. Oh, I know. I’m so sorry.

Steve: I want my boy.

Kayla: I know, I’m sorry.

Steve: [Sobbing]

Kayla: I’m so sorry.

Steve: I want my boy.

[Chimes tinkle]

[Ethereal music]

Steve: [Sobbing]

Tripp: [Gasps] Allie.

Kayla: Oh, my god. Oh, my god. He didn’t have a heartbeat or a pulse.

Steve: Tripp? It’s dad. Hey.

Tripp: Dad.

Steve: Huh? Hey, kid. Hello, buddy. Buddy? Oh, my god.

Ava: [Sniffles]

John: I’m sorry, ava.

Ava: [Weeping]

Jake: I’m gonna get her home.

John: Yeah. Hey, um, anything you–you need, just–just call, okay?

Jake: Thanks, man.

[Elevator dings]

Steve: Ava…wait.

Ava: [Sobs]

Steve: Hey. I was on an antidepressant,

[Monitor beeping]

Ava: It’s true.

Kayla: It’s true. He’s alive.

Tripp: Hey, mom.

Ava: [Sniffs]

[Whispering] My son.

[Tender music]

[Baby hiccupping]

Ben: Babe, you’re not gonna believe this.

[Sighs] Kayla pronounced tripp dead. Then he came back to life.

Ciara: Wow. I believe it. Remember when my dad said that he had something left to do?

Ben: [Exhales]

Ciara: Baby, are you crying?

Ben: [Sighs] Ciara, if he died? Allie, his parents–

[Sighs] It would have killed them.

Ciara: I know.

Ben: I just–I just– I want everybody to just be as happier as we are right now.

Ciara: [Scoffs lightly] You know what?

[Sniffs] I don’t think that anybody can be as happy as we are right now.

[Sniffs]

Ben: [Sighs]

Roman: Thank you, kayla.

[Sighs]

Kate: Well?

Roman: It was close. Kayla thought they’d lost him. But, uh, it does look like, uh, tripp is gonna be just fine.

Eric: Oh, thank god.

Lucas: I’m just so sorry. I should have been here for you.

Allie: No, there’s nothing that you could have done. There’s nothing that anyone could have done. Except tripp. Did you hear about him?

Johnny: Yeah. Uh, yeah, we did.

Allie: [Sniffs] Did he die? Did he die because of me?

Lucas: No, honey, don’t say that. Don’t do that to yourself. Stop, stop.

Allie: Yes. Because I never got to tell him how I felt. I never got to tell him that I love him.

[Sniffles]

Lucas: I’m so sorry.

[Knock at door]

Allie: No, I can’T. I can’t see anyone.

Lucas: Yeah, of course you can’t, it’s not a good time.

Marlena: I’ll take care of it.

Allie: [Weeps]

John: Couldn’t get through. It’s–it’s okay. It’s okay. Allie… tripp…he pulled through. He is alive. And kayla thinks he’s gonna be just fine, honey.

Allie: Oh, my god.

John: He’s gonna be just fine.

Allie: Oh, thank god.

[Sighs]

[Monitor beeping]

Ava: You’re really here?

Tripp: How’s allie?

Kayla: She’s gonna be just fine. Thanks to you.

Steve: Our son the hero.

Ava: Mmm. Please don’t ever scare us like that again.

[Chuckles weakly]

Tripp: I won’T. I love you guys.

Steve: We love you, son.

Days of Our Lives Transcript

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Belle: Sorry, I just got out of court. Any word on allie or ciara’s baby?

Eric: No, not yet. Dad, he’s on his way back over to take over so I can go help with the search. I’m sure shawn’s been working around the clock.

Belle: Yeah, probably. I don’t know, I haven’t heard from him. Things are still not good between us.

Eric: I’m sorry. I mean, the last time we spoke, you said you were ready to move back in.

Belle: Well, I was, but jan spears beat me to it.

Eric: What?

Belle: Yep. That maniac is now living in my family’s home with my husband.

Shawn: John. Hi.

John: Hey, I heard that evan frears was arrested.

Shawn: Yeah, yeah, he’s in there. He’s just waiting to get transferred back to statesville.

John: All right. Say anything about my granddaughter? Does he know where she is?

Shawn: He claims he doesn’t know, but he did tell ben, ciara, and me what the devil has planned for their baby.

John: And that is?

Shawn: He wants him to be his permanent host body here on earth.

John: Ah, jeez.

Shawn: If we don’t stop him, he’s gonna take control of my nephew, body and soul.

[Cell phone ringing]

Marlena: Hi, tripp. What’s happening?

Tripp: Hey, I was hoping maybe you had some news about allie?

Marlena: I do. We think she’s headed to the cemetery and she has the baby with her.

Tripp: Do you know if allie and the baby are all right?

Marlena: I know she’s still possessed.

Tripp: Oh, man.

Marlena: But johnny went to the cemetery about half an hour ago. I’m still waiting to hear from him.

Charlie: [Chuckles] Talk about a glass jaw.

Demon allie: Once the ritual of transference is completed, you can get rid of him and his sister.

[Eerie music]

Ciara: Get the hell away from my son.

Demon allie: He won’t be your son for much longer. Soon, he and I will become one.

Ciara: Not while I’m around.

Ben: Just stay back. I’ll get the baby.

Charlie: I wouldn’t do that if I were you.

[Electricity zapping]

Ben: Ugh!

Ciara: Ben!

[Baby crying] Ben.

Charlie: [Laughing] I tried to warn him. You two wasted your time coming here. My boss has already won this battle.

[Eerie music]

Male announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “days of our lives.”

[Soft orchestration]

John: Don’t worry, shawn, we’re not gonna let the devil take that little baby.

Shawn: The problem is we need to find him first.

[Cell phone beeps]

[Sighs]

John: Is that about allie?

Shawn: Ah, no. It’s– god, it’s jan. Her ankle monitor went off. She must’ve breached the perimeter to the house.

John: Ah. You sound surprised. Didn’t occur to you that she might try to take off?

Shawn: Look, I don’t like her living in my house any more than you or belle do, okay?

John: All right, just you find allie and the baby. I’ll deal with jan spears.

Shawn: Are you sure?

John: Damn right, I’m sure. I don’t want that crazy woman anywhere near my daughter.

Eric: Listen, I’m sorry, I just don’t understand this agreement. Women give birth in prison all the time. Don’t they realize that jan spears, she’s a threat to our community?

Belle: Yep. True on both counts, but shawn talked to the warden about jan’s high-risk pregnancy, and he let her out on house arrest.

Eric: But does shawn have to agree to this insane agreement?

Belle: Oh yeah, he did. But then shawn brady’s not gonna say “yeah, let her go back to prison, I don’t care if she loses my baby.”

Eric: Belle, you can’t let this woman destroy your marriage.

Belle: Eric, what am i supposed to do? I’m not gonna go and live in the same house with jan, and shawn feels responsible for the baby. So we’re just at a basic standoff and, you know, I don’t see that ending anytime soon.

Marlena: Yes, I will call you as soon as I hear from johnny or ben and ciara.

Tripp: What about the police?

Marlena: I’m still waiting to hear back from shawn.

Tripp: I’m going out there.

Marlena: What can you do?

Tripp: I’m a doctor, for one, and I’m not just gonna sit around while allie goes through this.

Marlena: Sounds like you care about her.

Tripp: I told myself I didn’t, but that was just my wounded ego. I love your granddaughter. And I’m gonna do whatever I can to get her out of this nightmare.

[Baby crying]

[Wind whistling]

Ciara: Oh, thank god you’re still alive. I am not gonna let you get away with this. That is my baby, and I want him back.

Charlie: You’re gonna fry, just like hubby did.

Ciara: Please, god. Please give me the strength to fight this battle.

Charlie: What the hell?

[Energy radiating]

Ciara: [Straining] Like pulsing, electric shocks,

Johnny: [Groaning] Ciara?

Charlie: Uh, boss? I think we have a problem.

Demon allie: No. It cannot be. That’s impossible.

Ciara: It’s okay, sweetie. Mommy’s here. Mommy’s gonna save you.

Eric: Listen, once jan, she gives birth to this baby, she’s gonna have to go back and complete her sentence, right?

Belle: Then what about the baby?

Eric: That’s a hard one.

Belle: Right. So jan has made sure that that child is gonna tie her to shawn, and she is gonna be in his life forever.

Eric: Belle, you have one choice. You can let it defeat you or you can hold on to your marriage and fight for it.

[Cell phone beeps]

Belle: Oh, my god.

Eric: What?

Belle: It’s from my dad. Jan’s ankle monitor went off, so he’s on his way over there to check them out. She could be on the loose, eric. What is that psycho gonna do this time?

Eric: Right.

John: [Sighs]

Jan: I am so glad that– oh, it’s you.

John: That’s right. And it looks like you put on that little get-up for nothing.

Jan: What are you doing here?

John: Well, I was with shawn when your ankle monitor went off. So I said, “no, shawn, no, no, you just–you stay here at the cop shop, and you keep looking for ciara and the baby, and I’ll deal with jan.” You see, he thought you probably took off, but I knew that you would be right here.

Jan: Of course I’m right here. I’m on bed rest for the remainder of my pregnancy.

John: So you figured out a way to jimmy that thing, huh?

Jan: I was bored. I wanted shawn to come home and keep me company.

John: Looks like you’re stuck with me instead.

Jan: You don’t have to stay. As you can see, everything is fine.

John: No, that’s okay. Actually, I was looking for a little time alone with you.

Jan: Why? So you can choke me back into another coma?

John: Tempted, but no. But what I am gonna do is I’m gonna lay out all the reasons why you’re gonna stay away from my daughter.

Shawn: I don’t give a damn how understaffed you are, I want evan frears off my hands as soon as possible, all right?

Marlena: Why haven’t you answered my calls?

Shawn: I’m sorry, I just got your messages, but I had my hands full. I got evan frears in there, and I’ve got– jan’s ankle monitor went off.

Marlena: Deal with that later.

Shawn: John said he’s taking care of it.

Marlena: Okay, well, I’ll go over there when I can. Look, johnny and susan and i think that we’ve made contact with allie, tonight. And I think she’s taken the baby to the cemetery. So I’ve contacted ben. He’s on his way over there and johnny is too. But I think when we need backup. I think we really need the help of the police on this.

Johnny: Ciara! Can I help you?

Demon allie: Be gone, mortal. I said be gone!

Ciara: Ah! Hi. Hi, bo.

[Baby cooing] Hi.

[Soft dramatic music]

I’m your mommy. You’re safe now. Shh, it’s okay. You’re safe.

[Sighing] My moderate to severe plaque psoriasis…

Ciara: It’s okay, bo. You’re safe now.

Demon allie: Don’t think you’ve vanquished me. I will win this yet.

[Groans]

Charlie: Boss, what’s happening?

Demon allie: The forces of good are at work.

Ciara: You’ll never get this baby away from me.

Demon allie: I can still–

[Spluttering] Still–

Charlie: Still what, boss?

Demon allie: The light! I have to get away from the light.

Charlie: Hey, boss, wh– where’re you going? Should I go with you? Ahh! You! You ruined everything! I was supposed to raise that baby!

Ciara: Don’t you know that that was never going to happen?

Charlie: Yeah? Well, if I don’t get to be the father, neither does he!

Ciara: No. No, charlie! Charlie, please stop! No!

Jan: I couldn’t care less about “tinkerbelle” or whatever nauseating thing you’re calling her now.

John: You are so full of it.

Jan: Oh, I’m not. Everything is different. I’m gonna be a mother. My child is my focus, my only focus.

John: Boy, I’d like to believe you really mean that, but no.

Jan: You can believe it. Belle doesn’t even register on my radar anymore. She had one of her little tantrums and walked out on shawn. He’s gonna be free of her soon. Then he and I will raise our baby together. We’ll be a family.

John: Mm. Well, here’s your news flash. Shawn and belle have broken up before, but they always find their way back to each other.

Jan: [Sighs] Everything’s different now that I’m carrying shawn’s baby. You see, a child has a way of bonding the two people who created that little life.

John: Mm-mm. No baby is a miracle worker.

Jan: Worked for you, didn’t it? You and dr. Evans were having a dirty little affair. And then belle showed up and cemented your relationship.

John: Not the way it happened.

Jan: Well, it’ll happen for shawn and me. You’ll see.

Eric: Hey. If jan was on the loose, john, he would’ve already called you by now.

Belle: I know you’re probably right.

Eric: She has to play by different rules. She’s dealing with a high-risk pregnancy.

Belle: [Laughs] So she says. The woman’s been known to multitask in the past.

[Cell phone beeps] Oh. Ugh. Dad says he’s with jan at the house.

Eric: There, that’s one less thing you’re gonna have to worry about tonight.

Belle: Yes, now, if we can just get some news about allie and that poor baby.

Ciara: Charlie. Charlie, please, no. Charlie! Charlie, leave him alone!

Charlie: Say goodbye to hubby. Ah!

[Eerie music]

Ciara: You brought a baseball bat.

Tripp: I wasn’t gonna come here unarmed.

Ciara: Oh, thank god. Thank you.

Tripp: Are you–are you and the baby all right?

Ciara: Yeah. Yeah, we’re fine. It’s, uh– it’s ben.

Tripp: His pulse is steady, and his pupils are equal and reactive.

Ciara: What does that mean? Does that mean he’s gonna be okay?

Tripp: I think so. Wh–what’s happening with allie?

Ciara: She, uh– she ran towards st. Luke’s, and johnny ran after her.

Tripp: I’m gonna try to catch up with them.

Ciara: Okay.

Tripp: How are the three of you gonna get to the hospital? I mean, you can’t take that bike.

Ben: [Groaning]

Ciara: I–I have my phone. It’s okay. Please be careful, tripp.

Demon allie: After 25 years, we’ve come full circle.

[Ominous music]

[Eerie music]

[Suspenseful music]

[Eerie music]

Allie: What a fitting place for the grand finale. Okay, this is a freezer, not a time capsule.

Ben: Oh, my god. He is perfect.

Ciara: I’d like you to meet your son, beauregard brady weston.

Ben: Hey, bo. I’m your dad. And it’s very, very nice to meet you. I love you very much. He’s beautiful.

Ciara: I know.

Ben: You saved him.

Ciara: The three of us, baby, we’re a family now. We’re gonna protect each other forever.

[Tender music]

Jan: So I’ve already come up with names for the baby.

John: Huh.

Jan: What do you think of britney? If it’s a girl, that is.

John: Britney… spears?

Jan: Spears-brady. And then if it’s a boy… lucifer.

John: You want to name your kid lucifer?

Jan: Lucifer! It’s been such a long time.

Marlena: Uh, I–I’m not possessed anymore, jan.

Jan: Oh. That’s a bummer. He was like the best friend I ever had. Except for claire, of course.

John: Hey. What are you doing here?

Marlena: Can we talk privately?

[Cell phone beeps] It’s johnny.

John: He’s gonna need our help.

[Cell phones beep]

Belle: Johnny followed allie to st. Luke’S.

Eric: I’m gonna get my stuff and head over, okay?

Belle: Okay, but I’m coming with you.

Eric: I don’t think you should.

Belle: Allie is my niece.

Eric: Belle, the fewer the people, the less chance of the devil having a host body.

Belle: Okay, but I want to help.

Eric: Pray. Pray for allie’s soul. John, mom, and I, we can handle the rest, okay?

Belle: Okay. You be careful. Good luck.

Eric: I have a feeling we’re gonna need it.

Demon allie: So the good people of salem think that they’ve defeated me? They’ll feel differently once I’ve taken my revenge on all of them!

Tripp: Are you all right?

Johnny: Yeah, your, uh– your dead brother knocked my head against a gravestone, so–

Tripp: Yeah, well, he got his. Where’s allie?

Johnny: I think she went up to the old choir loft. I was gonna go after her, but I–I sent a text to my family for backup, so–

Tripp: Okay, well, you wait for them; I’m going up there.

Johnny: No, no way. I’m–I’m coming with you.

Demon allie: I may have lost my new vessel on earth, but I am going out in a blaze of glory. And I’m taking little alice caroline horton with me.

Johnny: Allie, stop!

Demon allie: [Sighs]

It’s started. Somewhere between a cuddle

Demon allie: You young men couldn’t have picked a better time to arrive. You’ll have a front row seat to the spectacle.

Johnny: I smell gasoline. This place is covered in it.

Tripp: You can’t set fire to st. Luke’S.

Demon allie: And why not? I’ve done it before, except this time, this town’s beacon of hope and light is going to burn to the ground. And hopefully take half of salem with it.

Johnny: Allie, look, you need to fight! It’s me, it’s johnny. Fight this guy! I know you know how to do it. He wants to destroy you. So unleash some of that famous anger on him.

Demon allie: You can save the histrionics. She’s given up.

Tripp: Allie, if you let him win, you’ll never see henry again. Okay, you have to will yourself to be free of him. Do it for your son.

Demon allie: You’re wasting–

Allie: Henry! I want to be with my little boy.

Demon allie: Trust me, that little boy’s better off without a mother like you were.

Tripp: That is bull, allie. You are a great mom.

Johnny: He needs you! I need you. Look, allie, just– just come back to us. Just come back to us.

Demon allie: Hm. It’s too late. You two treated her like the dirt under your feet.

Johnny: Allie, you and I, we know how to push each other’s buttons and we probably did it too often, but underneath it all, I love you. And you love me. So just come on, allie, come back to us.

Tripp: Fight that bastard!

Demon allie: Ugh!

Johnny: Allie?

[Groans] I’m okay.

Demon allie: You and your sister together are no match for my powers. So now, this church and all three of us are going down in flames.

Belle: Shawn.

Shawn: Hey.

Belle: Hey, I just got a text from johnny. He said that ben and ciara found the baby and allie.

Shawn: Yeah, yeah. Ciara called me. She said they’re taking him to the hospital to get him checked out.

Belle: Oh no. Are they worried about him?

Shawn: No, I just– I just think they’re trying to be safe.

Belle: Okay.

Shawn: Ciara doesn’t know what’s going with allie. Last time she saw her, she was headed towards st. Luke’S.

Belle: Well, johnny followed her and eric’s on his way there now. Is that where you’re headed?

Shawn: No, there’s cops all over st. Luke’S. Rafe told them to stand back and hold their fire. He said they don’t need me, so, um, honestly, I’m not gonna believe that this baby’s okay until I see it with my own two eyes.

Belle: Well, if it’s okay with you, I’d like to go.

Shawn: Yeah, yeah. Yeah, of course it’s okay. I mean, yeah, it’s great.

Kayla: Oh. I am so happy to see you two. Is that my new little grand-nephew?

Ben: It sure is.

Kayla: He’s just beautiful. Does he have a name yet?

Ciara: Yeah. It’s bo. Bo brady weston.

Kayla: Bo. Your dad would be so proud. I think he has grandpa bo’s eyes. Aww. You have been through such an ordeal the last 24 hours, haven’t you, baby? He looks like he’s just fine.

Ciara: Yeah, we hope so.

Ben: Yeah, but we want to hear that from you. Nobody else.

Kayla: I’ve got a room ready. We’ll check out our little angel. Let’s go.

Demon allie: Time to say your prayers, boys. No. No, it can’t be.

Eric: “The lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me lie down in green pastures.”

Demon allie: The only green pasture you’ll lie in is the cemetery!

Eric: “He leadeth me beside the still waters. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for thou art with me.” Once again, I cast out the demon!

Demon allie: I hope you’ve been practicing. Your last attempt at an exorcism only made me stronger. I took over the nearest warm body and wreaked havoc in your lives. Maybe this time I’ll try you on for size, father.

Marlena: No, you won’T. You are done tormenting me, tormenting my family. Go back to hell.

Demon allie: Such words from you, marlena? After everything we’ve been through together.

Marlena: You tried to destroy me, destroy my friends, destroy my family, destroy everybody in salem, and it failed! Because the people in this town love each other. They care about each other. And love will always trump evil!

Demon allie: You have always underestimated my power!

John: No, I think we have you sized up pretty well here. That’s why we’ve got you cornered right now!

Demon allie: You think a couple setbacks are going to stop me? You’re weak, stupid. I’m repulsed by you!

John: You go back to where you came from now. Leave our granddaughter’s body now, at once!

Demon allie: I was growing tired of her anyway. So I will leave her to you. But only after I’ve killed her in front of you.

Ahhh, not again.

Kayla: Well, I am delighted to tell you that your son is in perfect health.

Both: [Sigh]

Ciara: Thank goodness.

Ben: That is great news.

Ciara: Hi, baby.

Shawn: You mind if we join the party?

Kayla: No, please, come in.

Ciara: Come in, bro.

Shawn: Oh, my gosh. I was so worried about you.

Ben: You should’ve seen her at the cemetery. She was amazing.

Ciara: [Sighs] Yeah. But allie still needs our help.

Belle: Well, johnny texted all of us. Eric’s on his way to the church now. My parents are already there. And I think they’re gonna try an exorcism.

Shawn: Yeah, I spoke to rafe. He said the cops have the whole church surrounded.

Ciara: Let’s hope that works. I’m really scared for allie.

Kayla: We all are.

Belle: Yeah, but we got god on our side. Our family is really fierce when any one of us is threatened.

Marlena: Leave my granddaughter alone.

Demon allie: You should’ve let me stay within you, marlena. Now you’ll have allie’s death on your hands.

John: We will not let you hurt her.

Eric: That’s right. Let’s join hands. Our father…

All: Who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done.

Demon allie: I command you to stop this!

All: On earth as it is in heaven.

Marlena: Allie, sweetheart.

All: Give us this day, our daily bread.

Marlena: I know you’re in there, and I know you’re scared.

All: Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.

Marlena: Allie, I know what you’re going through. I’ve been there myself. I know what it’s like. But keep fighting. There are people here that love you. Keep on fighting.

All: And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Marlena: Draw from our strength. Come back to us. I know you can do that. I know you can, allie. Come on back.

Demon allie: Stop this insanity or I’ll snap her neck. I’ll make henry a little orphan right now.

Marlena: You won’t do that. Allie, we love you. We know you’re there. Come back to us.

Demon allie: So be it.

[Bones crunching]

[All yelling]

Tripp: No! Leave her alone! Take me instead!

Shawn: Let me see my nephew. Oh. Hey, buddy. Hey. You know, you’re probably gonna be the first kid in history to be taught to handle a motorcycle by his mom.

[Laughter]

Ben: Yeah, not for a few more years.

Shawn: You know, your grandpa in heaven, he’d, uh– he’d be really happy right now. And we’re gonna tell you all about him when you get a little bit older. Want to meet your aunt belle? Look there.

Belle: Hi, little bo. Oh, we’re so happy to welcome you to our family. Remember to take a lot of pictures though, because the first year is full of changes, and you’re gonna want to remember all of them.

Shawn: Yeah, but make sure that you enjoy him.

Ciara: [Sighs] We absolutely will.

Belle: I remember when claire was that little.

Shawn: Yeah. I remember when she first started to walk. When she was standing there, holding onto that table and she just–she bravely just started walking. Actually, it was sort of a weird little jog.

Belle: Yeah. [Laughs]

Shawn: And she was, uh– she was pleased with herself.

Belle: Yeah, I remember that. Probably because we had it on video.

Shawn: Yeah, then we watched it about a thousand times.

[Cell phone ringing] Oh, here, I got to take this. Here. Here you go, buddy.

Ciara: Okay, come here.

Shawn: Um… uh, yeah, what’s up, jan?

Jan: I’m having a monster craving for a cheeseburger.

Shawn: Uh, I’m busy.

Jan: I thought you were off duty.

Shawn: I am, but I’m–

Jan: Please be sweet and do this for me. I can’t leave the house and I’m starving.

Tripp: I mean it. I mean it. You want to kill somebody? Kill me.

Marlena: Tripp, no, don’t!

Eric: No, we need to finish what we started.

Tripp: No. You heard him. He’s gonna kill her before you can finish the exorcism.

Demon allie: He’s right, you know.

Tripp: So come into me. Come into me, and let henry have his mom back. You want a soul? Take mine.

Demon allie: You mortals amaze me. You’re willing to sacrifice your life for some insipid little thing like allie horton?

Tripp: If that’s what you think about allie, then you aren’t as smart as you think you are.

Demon allie: You’re willing to die for someone who didn’t love you, who cheated on you. You were always her second choice, and I’m the one who’s stupid?

Tripp: I don’t care if allie would rather be with chanel. I still love her. She got to me like no one else ever did. She–she knew how to make me laugh and lighten up. And she made me feel not alone in this world.

Demon allie: And then she betrayed you.

Tripp: I still love her. And I always will. So come into me and I will gladly sacrifice my life if it means that she can live and raise henry. So come into me. Take me instead. I said come into me, you son of a bitch! Take me instead!

Johnny: Allie? Allie? Allie?

[Dramatic music]

With depression, you just feel…blah.

Ciara: How are you feeling, baby?

Ben: Better. I got knocked for a loop. Walking into that thing was like an electric fence. I can’t believe you just walked into that and got the baby.

Ciara: I cannot believe it either. And I can’t– I can’t even explain it to you, I really can’T. I just– I knew I needed to get to him. And I wasn’t sure if I was gonna be able to. And then there was this, like, warm, comforting light surrounding me. It made me feel strong. And the weird part is, I didn’t feel alone anymore. It was like–huh. Baby, please promise not to laugh at me when I say this.

Ben: Laugh? I would never laugh at you.

Ciara: It was like a– a presence.

Ben: What kind of presence?

[Air whooshing]

Ciara: Dad?

[Chimes tinkling]

Bo: Hey there, little one.

Kayla: Hope sounded so happy on the phone.

Belle: Yeah. Must’ve been bittersweet though, not having bo here to share in that.

Kayla: I think we’re all feeling that.

Belle: Yeah, right. I mean, I know shawn really misses his dad. I miss him too. Maybe he could’ve talked some sense into shawn.

Kayla: It seemed like the two of you were having a moment in there.

Belle: Yeah, I felt that too. And then he ran off to be with the mother of his new baby.

Jan: Want a french fry?

Shawn: Um, yeah. Yeah, sure. I–I haven’t eaten much today.

Jan: How’s ciara doing?

Shawn: She’s good. She’s good now that she’s back with her baby.

Jan: Did you see him?

Shawn: Mm-hmm. Yeah. They, um– they named him after my dad.

Jan: Aww. That’s so sweet. Maybe if our baby’s a girl we can name her after your mom. I had another name in mind, but hope is more meaningful.

Shawn: Uh, wouldn’t you want to name her after your mom, maybe?

Jan: Oh, god, no. She was a horrible person. God rest her soul. Besides, her name was gertrude. I am not sticking our child with a name like that. Can you imagine? Baby gert?

Shawn: Yeah. Yeah, probably not. You okay?

Jan: Yeah. I’m fine. I was just thinking how scared ciara must’ve been before she found her baby. Thank god she did.

Ciara: Ben, am i seeing things?

Ben: If you are, then I am too.

Ciara: Daddy?

Bo: [Echoing] In the flesh. Well, not exactly in the flesh. I’m the one who taught you how to remap a fuel injection system.

Ciara: It really is you. You came back.

[Baby cooing] You were at the cemetery.

Bo: Yeah. That was me.

Ciara: You saved his life. Honey, this is your granddad. Daddy, I named him bo.

Bo: Thank you for that.

Eric: Tripp? Can you hear me?

Demon tripp: Well, that was surprisingly easy. The boy didn’t even put up a fight. But it seems his sacrifice was for naught. Allie is still going to die, and by tripp’s own hands.

Marlena: No! God, no!

Tripp: No. I won’t let you hurt her.

John: Let me help you, son.

Tripp: There is no help. There’s only–

Marlena: Tripp! No! No!
