Update written by Joseph

Susan Banks shows up at Ben and Ciara’s door and says she had to come because she had a premonition about their baby. Ciara questions how Susan knew that she was pregnant.

Nicole goes to work at the Basic Black office where Chloe notes that she looks tired and asks if she was up late. Nicole sits down and thinks back to kissing Rafe. Chloe then asks what she did last night. Nicole responds that she had sex with Rafe on that conference table.

Rafe enters the interrogation room to see Ava, who is thankful that he is there. Rafe tells her that they need to talk.

Devil Marlena sits at home reading an article about Ava blaming Charlie for Carmine’s murder. The Devil remarks that it’s good to see the havoc wrecked on Halloween is gaining some publicity. The Devil declares that they haven’t seen nothing yet as Devil Marlena puts the tablet down and picks up a large knife.

Susan questions Ciara’s lack of faith and repeats that she had a premonition. Ciara questions her coming all the way from Memphis. Susan says that once she saw what the future held, she drove straight here.

Devi Marlena declares that since they spent the night raising souls from their graves, maybe today will be spent putting a new one in the ground. Devil Marlena then raises the knife and stabs a pumpkin.

Tripp is on the phone at Allie’s, saying to tell Rafe to call him back. Allie comes home with Henry. Allie is glad that Henry wasn’t there for their horror show and she still doesn’t know if that was real or not. Tripp feels bad for telling Ava that she was hallucinating. Allie responds that if she was, then they were too since they saw his dead brother too. Tripp feels there has to be a rational explanation and wonders if some weird Halloween mind trick is going around. Allie talks about feeling Charlie’s hate and evil, noting that he wanted to kill both of them and she really thought he was going to. Tripp hugs her.

Rafe brings up Ava telling Shawn and Eli that her deceased son was responsible for the dead man he found in kitchen. Ava says it’s true and swears that Charlie crawled out of his grave and stabbed Carmine. Ava argues that he has to believe her. Ava then questions why he’s being so cold.

Chloe laughs at Nicole’s statement but then realizes that she’s serious and decides to move from that conference table. Chloe asks if Nicole is going to tell her how that happened.

Devil Marlena raises the knife and says just as he was about to kill John last night, their pesky grandson interrupted. Devil Marlena says for John to prepare to meet his maker because he has cheated death for the last time. Brady then walks in and calls out to Marlena.

Susan tells Ciara and Ben that she got here as fast as she could and asks if she’s right. Ben confirms that Ciara is pregnant. Susan excitedly congratulates them. Susan declares that her visions are always right. Ciara questions her coming all this way to tell them something they already know. Susan reveals that she came to warn them about their baby being in grave danger. Ben questions what she’s talking about. Ciara tells him that he can’t listen to Susan because she’s heard Susan is wrong more often than she’s right. Ben questions how she knew they were pregnant then. Susan says she’s used to people doubting her gifts. Ben points out that she was right before when Ciara was missing and she helped find her. Susan says if Kristen didn’t convince her to switch places with her, Ciara would’ve been found a lot sooner. Susan talks about Kristen making a lot of trouble in town and breaking Brady’s heart.

Marlena says she didn’t hear Brady come in. Brady says he just dropped Rachel off at school and asks if everything is okay. Marlena says of course and asks why he would ask. Brady says when he walked in, he could swear he heard a man’s voice say something about John cheating death. Marlena claims that she was talking to Roman on speaker phone. Brady asks if John is in some kind of trouble or danger. Marlena claims that John is on a secret mission for Black Patch and she’s just hoping that nothing bad happens to him. Brady assures that John is indestructible. The Devil whispers that they’ll see about that. Brady questions what she said. Marlena claims she said she can’t wait to see him when he gets back. Brady is surprised that John left since it’s their anniversary. Marlena remarks that John is always racing off to help somebody. Marlena adds that she was just racing off on an errand that’s fairly urgent. Brady stops her and asks if she has a minute as he would love to get her advice on something. Marlena claims she’s glad to help.

Allie tells Tripp that she always feels safe with him. Tripp offers to stay as long as she wants. Allie appreciates that but knows he wants to go see Ava. Allie kisses Tripp and tells him that she loves him. Tripp jokes that part wasn’t a hallucination. Allie confirms that saying she loves him is the only part of last night that she knows is real. She apologizes for taking so long to say it. Tripp says he’s just glad she did and he loves her too as they kiss. Tripp then exits.

Ava tells Rafe that she has been here all night by herself freaking out and Rafe finally shows up, cold as ice. Ava questions what’s going on. Rafe says he’s just trying to get to the bottom of what happened. Ava says she told him. Rafe questions what Carmine was doing in his house to begin with. Ava says she was making dinner and all of a sudden, Carmine showed up and attacked her which Rafe questions. Ava tells him that Carmine started to strangle her until Charlie showed up and put a knife in Carmine’s chest. Rafe asks what Charlie did then. Ava says she didn’t stick around and just got the hell out of there. Rafe informs her that the one major problem with her story is that they only found Ava’s prints on the knife used to kill Carmine.

Chloe is confused as she thought Nicole was dating EJ and asks what happened. Nicole doesn’t want to talk about it right now as she’s just exhausted. Chloe argues that Nicole is her friend and she cares about her, so she asks if she regrets it. Nicole confirms that she does not regret it. Chloe is more confused then, because she knows she has feelings for Rafe but she thought they agreed to keep their distance out of respect for Ava. Nicole says they did, so Chloe asks what happened. Nicole talks about not acting on her attraction for Rafe because she didn’t want anything to get in between him and Ava. Chloe asks what happened then. Nicole responds that she almost died. Nicole then informs Chloe that she saw Deimos Kiriakis. Chloe responds that Deimos is dead. Nicole declares that she knows that, but last night he came back to kill her.

Ciara thanks Susan for helping Ben find her. Susan says she’d really like to help again now. Ben pulls Ciara aside and suggests they hear Susan out since she did come all this way. Ciara feels it seems very personal and weird. Ben reminds that she knew they were pregnant. Ciara doesn’t care and doesn’t like Susan showing up at their home out of nowhere, telling her that scary things are going to happen to her baby. Ben points out that the baby wouldn’t exist now if Susan didn’t help them. Ben says he’ll get rid of Susan if she wants but he thinks it might be easier to just listen, noting that they don’t have to listen to what she says. Ciara gives in and tells Susan that they would love to hear her vision which excites her. Ben asks what kind of danger she thinks his child is in.

Marlena asks what Brady wants advice about. Brady says it’s Rachel as ever since Kristen’s surprise visit, Rachel has been asking all kinds of questions like why her mom had to leave again or when she’s coming back. Brady doesn’t know what to tell her. Marlena suggests telling her the truth. Brady worries that Rachel is too young to know the truth about what her mother has done. Marlena says she meant the truth about Brady. Brady questions what he did. Marlena asks if he is or isn’t harboring impure thoughts about Chloe.

Chloe asks how much Nicole had to drink last night. Nicole assures that she was sober, came in to get some work done, and then she looked up to see an undead Deimos standing there. Nicole explains that Deimos came after her, so she grabbed a pair of scissors, stabbed him in the heart and he died again. Nicole adds that she was freaking out, so she called Rafe to help, but by the time he got there, the scissors were on the floor with no blood, body, or Deimos. Nicole admits it was Halloween and creepy being there by herself. Nicole suggests maybe she imagined the whole thing. Chloe says it still sounds terrifying. Nicole says she was a wreck while Rafe was so kind and comforting, then one thing led to another and they had sex on the conference table. Chloe asks her now what?

Rafe asks how Ava explains the forensics report. Ava doesn’t know and suggests zombies don’t have fingerprints. Rafe brings up Ava used to be Carmine’s boss. Ava confirms that she cut her ties with her past. Rafe adds that Gabi told him that Ava and Philip were using Carmine to blackmail her in to signing over her company or they would pin a murder on Jake that he didn’t commit. Ava is not surprised that Gabi is using this to try and turn Rafe against her. Ava guesses that Gabi is the reason she spent the night here and that Rafe never showed up. Ava knows Shawn called him and told him that she was here and she needed him. Ava questions where Rafe was and what was so important that he couldn’t help his girlfriend, who was being held on suspicion of murder. Rafe thinks back to kissing Nicole. Rafe then tells Ava that there is something he needs to tell her.

Brady tells Marlena that he wouldn’t call his feelings for Chloe impure. Marlena says the truth is, he has feelings for Chloe but when Kristen asked him about it, he said he didn’t, so he lied. Brady says he’s trying to be respectful since Chloe is with Philip. Marlena argues that Brady is Chloe’s first choice. Brady acknowledges that he blew his chance and he has to accept it. Marlena says he doesn’t, so Brady asks what she suggests he do about this. Marlena suggests he go back to the office, find Chloe, and lay her down on the conference table to show her how big his feelings are for her.

Ava asks Rafe where he was last night. Tripp then enters the interrogation room and asks if Ava is okay. Ava says she’s fine, no thanks to some people. Tripp questions Rafe not getting his messages. Rafe says he’s been busy. Tripp complains that they were refusing to let him in, so he could’ve really used Rafe’s help. Tripp tells Ava that he’s so sorry for not listening. Ava reminds him that she told him to check on Allie and asks if they are okay. Tripp confirms they are fine. Ava is thankful Charlie didn’t hurt them. Rafe brings up to Tripp that Ava says she saw his dead brother last night. Tripp informs Rafe that Ava did, because he and Allie saw him too.

Chanel shows up at Allie’s door. Allie questions why she’s not at the bakery. Chanel responds that Allie called in sick, so she brought her chicken noodle soup. Allie then confesses that she’s not sick, she just didn’t get much sleep last night. Chanel assumes she was up late with Tripp. Allie confirms they were together, but says it’s not what she thinks. Allie informs Chanel that something really scary happened last night and it wasn’t like normal Halloween scary. Chanel suggests they sit down so she can tell her all about it.

Ciara asks Susan what grave danger her child is in. Susan clarifies that she’s not really clear on the specifics but insists she saw what the future holds. Susan says it just gets a little fuzzy. Ciara informs her that she just found out she’s pregnant, so the last thing she needs is anything negative because she’s freaked out enough as it is. Susan doesn’t want to make her feel ill at ease but insists that she has to listen to her because it’s very important. Ciara feels she doesn’t know what she has to say. Susan complains that she can’t control the vision as one minute, everything is super sharp and then she just loses the signal, but she can always get it back if she tunes in just right. Ben suggests she hold onto something like she did with the fortune cookie before. Susan agrees that she just needs a psychic vibration from the baby and asks if they have a rattle. Ciara says she just found out a couple hours ago so they don’t have anything like that yet. Ben suggests Susan put her hands on the belly, so she puts her hands on Ben’s. Ben says he meant Ciara’s belly. Susan jokes that she knows but couldn’t resist a good six pack. Susan then puts her hands on Ciara’s belly to feel the baby. Susan then screams about the evil and faints in to Ben’s arms.

Chanel asks Allie what kept her up all night. Allie doesn’t want to get in to it but reveals that last night, she finally told Tripp that she loves him. Chanel says that’s amazing and guesses she must be so happy because Tripp was feeling insecure about it. Allie informs her that she knows they were talking about it. Chanel apologizes for lying. Allie asks why she did. Chanel says it was just awkward but all that matters is that Tripp knows she wants to be with him and not her, despite Johnny and the Ouija board nonsense. Chanel asks what that was about anyways. Allie informs her that Johnny saw Chanel feeding her the pumpkin cookie at the bakery and thought that was intimate. Chanel laughs and asks if she’s serious, remarking that Halloween makes people see things that aren’t there… Allie asks if Johnny ever apologized for being a huge jerk. Chanel confirms he came over last night and they did make up. Allie guesses she let him off easy but Chanel assures that she made him work for it. Chanel reveals that she made Johnny work Allie’s shift this morning at the bakery. Chanel mentions Johnny helping her with a surprise order for a cake for some people celebrating a 56 year anniversary. Allie comments that some people beat the odds and are destined to be together, so they stay together. Chanel jokes that they used to call them “supercouples”.

Ciara asks Ben what they should do with Susan now. Ben suggests Marlena would know what to do and asks if Ciara will be okay here. Ciara asks if she has a choice.

Brady can’t believe Marlena just said that. Marlena says that Brady needed to hear that. Brady refuses to do what she said. Marlena argues that he can’t keep going on like this as he has to be honest with himself and the women he loves. Marlena thinks it’s the most direct way, calling it bold, daring, and very romantic. Marlena urges Brady to go find Chloe and show her who’s boss. Brady acknowledges that he is her boss but even if he wasn’t and she wasn’t with someone else, he questions that kind of behavior in the workplace. Marlena remarks that it worked for her and John as John had his way with her on the conference table at Titan and the rest is true love history. Brady points out that it also traumatized Sami and ruined her marriage to Roman. Marlena comments that Roman got over it eventually, so Philip will too. Marlena remarks that the heart wants what the heart wants and so does the body. She tells Brady to go tell Chloe how he feels. Brady says okay and leaves the house.

Chloe asks Nicole what’s going to happen when Ava finds out about this. Nicole explains that Rafe led her to believe that it was over between he and Ava since Ava was taken into custody on suspicion of murder which Chloe questions. Nicole calls it a really long story but apparently Ava has been lying about leaving her life as a mafia princess behind and she’s been hiding the guy that shot Abe and ended up killing him in Rafe’s kitchen with a knife. Chloe points out that last night, Nicole and Ava both possibly stabbed someone to death, but in Ava’s case there was a body. Nicole knows it sounds crazy. Chloe asks what it means for her and Rafe if Rafe and Ava are really over. Chloe asks if last night was a one time thing or the start of something. Nicole doesn’t know as they didn’t talk much last night. Chloe suggests they talk now.

Ava questions Tripp seeing Charlie and tells Rafe that she told him. Rafe gets why Tripp would want to cover for his mother but warns that lying to the police isn’t a good idea. Tripp insists that he’s not lying. Tripp admits he didn’t believe Ava at first either, but he went to Allie’s and Charlie was there holding her. Rafe asks if she and Henry are okay though which Tripp confirms. Rafe asks Tripp what happened next. Tripp explains that Charlie let go of Allie and came after him, then they fought. Tripp says he kept hitting Charlie over and over again until Allie pulled him off, then they took their eyes off of him for two seconds and he just disappeared. Tripp says he can’t explain it but he just vanished. Tripp guesses that Rafe doesn’t believe him and says he doesn’t blame him as he’s not sure he believes it himself. Rafe thinks back to Nicole telling him about Deimos disappearing. Rafe decides to go check on Charlie’s grave. Ava wants to go with him, but Rafe says that until this is all cleared up, she has to stay here. Rafe then exits the room.

Chloe cleans the conference table at the Basic Black office until Brady walks in and imagines kissing her onto the table.

Devil Marlena can’t wait to see what happens with Brady and Chloe. The Devil laughs about planting the seed in Brady’s brain to cause some trouble then says it’s now onto his father, John. Marlena goes to leave the house when Ben arrives at the door and says he really needs to talk to her. Marlena says she was just leaving but Ben says it’s really important as they just found out Ciara is pregnant.

Susan wakes up in Ciara and Ben’s bed. Susan apologizes. Ciara asks if she’s okay. Susan responds that she’s a little light headed. Ciara thinks she should rest until Marlena gets there. Susan gets up and says she didn’t mean to upset her. Ciara says she knows but it’s not helpful to put her hands on her belly and then start screaming about something evil when Ben’s already worried about the baby because of his family and history. Susan mentions Marlena telling her that Ben’s not a threat to anyone anymore. Ciara explains that Ben’s still worried about passing on his evil gene to the baby. Susan doesn’t want to upset her and says she’s going to the restroom and then she will leave. Ciara stops her and says if there’s even the slighest chance that her baby is in danger, she needs to know.

Brady imagines kissing Chloe until he snaps out of it and Chloe asks him if he’s okay.

Chanel asks Allie where Tripp is. Allie informs her that he’s at the police station, trying to get his mom out of trouble.

Tripp apologizes for doubting Ava. Ava tells him it’s okay, as she’s starting to have some doubts of her own…

Rafe makes a call to send someone to check out Charlie Dale’s grave and to let him know if they find anything unusual. Rafe adds for them to check out Deimos’ grave as well. Nicole then arrives at the police station.

Ciara tells Susan that she knows she and Ben’s love will get them through whatever the future holds, but she’s going to need Susan to try again. Susan puts her hands on Ciara’s belly again and says the evil is very strong. Ciara asks if that means Ben was right about passing his evil gene onto the baby. Susan clarifies that the evil is not coming from Ben, but from someone else.

Marlena brings Ben inside, excitedly asking about Ciara being pregnant. Ben confirms that Kayla confirmed it this morning. Devil Marlena then hugs Ben and calls it the best news ever.

The Days of Our Lives 56th Anniversary Cake is shown in front of the Horton Town Square plaque. Happy Anniversary!

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Belle: [Gasps]

Shawn: Belle? What’s-what’s-what’s wrong?

Belle: I just had the most awful nightmare.

Shawn: About what?

Belle: My mom was possessed by the devil–again.

Ben: Baby, you just took that test last night. I assume it’s still potive?

Ciara: Yes, it is positive. We are still pregnant. I just–I can’t believe it.

Ben: Why? Because it happened immediately after you stopped taking your pill?

Ciara: Well, I knew it was possible. But it still kind of just seemed like a one-in-a-million chance, you know.

Ben: Mm.

Melinda: Please don’t tell me you’re gonna count it.

Xander: No, I’ll trust you ’cause you know there’ll be hell to pay if it’s not all there. It’s been real–

Melinda: I don’t regret at all to inform you that you won’t be spending a penny of this.

Xander: What are you talking about?

Melinda: Because you’re gonna be giving the money to me.

Xander: Why exactly would I do that?

Melinda: Because if you don’t, I will blow your girlfriend’s life sky-high.

Xander: Since you just dropped some pretty serious charges against me, I’ll say this politely, but I do not take kindly to anyone who threatens the people I care about.

Melinda: I’m not threatening anyone, mr. Cook. As district attorney, I simply have a duty to expose the truth.

Xander: What truth?

Melinda: I know gwen rizczech’s dirty little secret.

Jack: What are you so angry about?

Abigail: Her.

Jack: I don’t understand. You told me that you had apologized to gwen and she accepted.

Abigail: Well, I’m here to take back that apology because I now know that my sister has been lying through her teeth again.

Jack: Lying? About what?

Abigail: Losing the baby. Turns out I didn’t have anything to do with it.

[Dramatic music]

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

[Soft orchestration]

Ben: When you looked online, the website said that if you stop taking your pills in the middle of a pack, which you did, you could get pregnant right away.

Ciara: Yes. It also said that it’s rare.

Ben: We’re rare. We beat the odds.

Ciara: Kind of feels like it’s a little more than that though. Kind of feels like a miracle to me.

Ben: Ah, I mean, it is a miracle.

Ciara: Yeah.

Ben: You’re pregnant.

Ciara: I’m pregnant.

Ben: You’re pregnant.

Ciara: I’m pregnant.

Ben: I mean, it’s amazing. It’s mind-blowing, but, I mean, people do conceive children every single day.

Ciara: So you’re not surprised?

Ben: Not really. I mean, we’re young, we’re healthy. We’re very, very good at doing what you need to do to get pregnant the old-fashioned way.

Ciara: Yes, we are. Do you think that it happened after the first time we tried?

Ben: Maybe. Although we did do it like bunch of times after.

Ciara: Yeah, we did, but we did both agree that the first time felt different. Was special. After we had wondered out loud, if I was pregnant, a big gust of wind came in through the window and–

Ben: Scared the hell outta me because I thought it was a bad omen.

Ciara: Maybe it wasn’t a bad omen. Maybe it was a good omen.

Belle: She just kept– she kept saying over and over in this really creepy voice, “expect the unexpected.”

Shawn: What do you think it means?

Belle: I don’t know. You know, it was, like–like, it was kind of an inside joke, and she just kept cackling like a maniac. Ugh, I can still hear it.

Shawn: Well, it’s not real. All right?

Belle: No, I know. I know. It’s probably just a combination of jet lag and seeing her in that weird halloween costume yesterday dressed as the devil with those creepy contact lenses that made her eyes look like they were glowing. Anyway, I’m sorry I woke you.

Shawn: No, no, no, no. I’m sorry. I’m sorry you had to see your mom like that. I mean, it must be difficult, given her history, so–

Belle: Yeah.

Shawn: Come here. Come here. Maybe we can go back to sleep now.

Belle: Okay.

Shawn: Mm-hmm.

Belle: Yeah, no. I’m wide awake.

Shawn: What?

Belle: No. And we’ve been asleep for like 12 hours. Thank you, international travel.

Shawn: Well, since we are both awake now, I mean, I gotta confess that I am having some devilish thoughts myself.

Belle: Oh, yeah?

Shawn: Mm-hmm.

Belle: What do you have in mind, mr. Brady?

Shawn: Well, I don’t know. Maybe I could lead you into temptation.

Belle: I’d like to see you try.

Shawn: Challenge accepted, mrs. Brady.

[Both laughing]

[Romantic music]

Xander: Secret? I’m not sure I know what you’re referring to.

Melinda: Oh, I’m sorry. I just assumed that you knew since gwen’s your girlfriend and you’re not the one that she’s been deceiving all these months.

Xander: And who would that be?

Melinda: Her father, jack deveraux. And as I said, I have a duty to bring the truth to light. So I’m just gonna go to his house right now and tell him what his daughter has done.

Gwen: Abigail, I already admitted that I lied about what happened when I lost my baby.

Jack: That’s right. She did.

Gwen: You said some really vicious things to me at the house that day. You said that I would be a horrible mother. So I wanted to hurt you the way that you hurt me. And I said that you pushed me down the stairs, but that wasn’t true. It was just horrible, tragic accident.

Abigail: It was horrible and it was tragic. But I wouldn’t exactly call it an accident.

Jack: Abigail, please–

Chad: Let her finish, j

Gwen: I fell down those stairs on accident. And I lost my baby.

Abigail: Both those statements are true but not in that order. Right, gwen?

Jack: What is she talking about?

Abigail: Do you want me to take this one, sis, hmm? Did you wanna do it or should I?

Gwen: Why are you doing this? You hate me so much.

Chad: Don’T. You’ve put her through enough. Don’t you blame her for this.

Abigail: I still feel terrible that we got into that argument. I feel terrible that you ended up in the hospital, but it is time for the truth to come out. And I do mean the whole truth this time.

Gwen: I-I-I don’t– I-I don’t know what she’s talking about.

Abigail: Mm, yeah, you do. You and I both know damn well that you lost that baby before you fell down the stairs. It’s my 4:05 the-show-must-go-on

Ben: So…we can either stay here and wonder if we’re having a baby, or we can head to the hospital and find out for sure.

Ciara: Let’s do it.

Ben: Yeah?

Ciara: Yeah.

Ben: Or we just assume that test is wrong and we stay here.

Ciara: Oh, yeah. And why would we do that?

Ben: So we can keep trying.

Ciara: Are you sure you’re up for it?

Ben: Always. And you are too. I can see.

Ciara: You know what? Let’s go to the hospital, see if I’m carrying your child. And if I’m not, we’ll come right back here and we pick up right where we left off.

Belle: So great that ben and ciara are trying to have a baby.

Shawn: Yeah. Yeah. I just hope they’re not rushing things. I mean–I mean, why don’t they enjoy being newlyweds for a little while and you know, I mean, start a family in a few years, you know?

Belle: Oh, come on. After everything they’ve been through, makes sense that they wouldn’t wanna take anything for granted. Especially their time together. Truth is, none of us know what tomorrow may bring.

Shawn: Yeah. Speaking about imaginable events, I am gonna go to the hospital. I’m gonna visit abe. Do you wanna come?

Belle: Oh, no, but I’ll meet you there later. I’m gonna go check on my mom.

Shawn: And make sure she’s not possessed by the devil?

Belle: Okay. I know it’s a little nuts, but I-I just–I need to see her out of that costume so I can get that image out of my head.

Kayla: Well, I think I need to say my goodbyes. I have to get back to work.

Steve: Wait. One more thing. Before we got called over here for the wedding, you said there’s a chance that gwen is lying to jack again.

Kayla: That’s what abigail told me.

Steve: Lying about what?

Kayla: Well, you know how gwen claimed that dr. Snyder used his knowledge of her past as a sex worker to blackmail her into delivering his drugs. Well, abigail doesn’t believe that. She thinks that whatever he’s– was holding against her is much worse.

Steve: Like what?

Kayla: Well, she’s not sure, but she’s hoping that there’s a clue in snyder’s office. So I let her look through it.

Steve: Is that allowed?

Kayla: Well, the drug case is closed. And I removed all the medical files, so I just didn’t see any reason to say no.

Steve: So she thought she might find some answers in the guy’s personal belongings?

Kayla: I guess.

Steve: Well, I don’t have to tell you how much I love abigail. I really hope she comes up empty on this one, for jack’s sake.

Kayla: You said he was in good spirits this morning.

Steve: Yeah. Because trask dropped the charges against gwen.

Kayla: Oh, thanks to you.

Steve: No matter what she’s done, she’s still my niece, just like abigail. I couldn’t let her go to prison. But to hear she’s still keeping secrets…

Kayla: Well, we don’t know for sure.

Steve: Well, I know that jack thinks she’s changed. That she’s not out for revenge anymore, and they’re on their way to being a family. I’d hate to see that undone.

Kayla: I think that abigail feels the same way.

Steve: She does?

Kayla: Yeah. I mean, she told me that she hopes that her suspicion is wrong. She doesn’t want to hurt her father or her sister. She just wants to know the truth. She needs to know the truth. No matter what it is.

Steve: Well, jack believes that they can put all the bad blood behind them. So I say we stay optimistic too.

Jack: Abigail, what are you saying?

Abigail: I’m saying that gwen was no longer pregnant when she fell down the stairs.

Jack: I-I’m-I’m lost.

Abigail: You know the secret that dr. Snyder was holding over her?

Jack: Of course. Of course, I do. She was a–she was a sex worker in philadelphia.

Abigail: Gwen–gwen was not a sex worker. Okay. Tell him. Would you just–would you just tell him that this was another one of your stupid, stupid lies?

Jack: Why would she lie about that?

Chad: Because the truth was worse.

Abigail: Gwen watched drugs kill her mother. Why on earth would she agree to deliver opioids?

Jack: Because snyder threatened her. He was gonna come to me and tell me about her past.

Abigail: But why on earth would that be so threatening, hmm? Gwen has done horrible things to our family. She drugged me. She tried to blow up your relationship and mine. She got into a fight with my grandma that resulted in her death and you forgave her of all of it. So why would she be afraid to tell you that she sold her body in the past to survive? It doesn’t make any sense.

Jack: She’s ashamed. She’s ashamed. She thinks it’s one more thing that-that-that’s gonna make her look bad next to you.

Abigail: Yeah. Mm-mm. I never bought any of that.

Jack: Okay, you didn’t, but what does this have to do with gwen losing her baby?

Abigail: I will tell you. The day that gwen showed up at the house and I said those horrible, horrible things to her, she was coming from the hospital where she was treated for severe abdominal pain.

Jack: That can’t be right.

Abigail: I am truly sorry, but it is. Dr. Snyder examined her, found that her baby did not have a heartbeat because she had miscarried. So, of course, when she arrived back at the hospital later that day, dr. Snyder knew that her fall down the stairs had nothing to do with why she lost the baby.

Chad: And it quickly became clear to him that she didn’t want us to know about that.

Abigail: Gwen wanted everyone to think that I was responsible for killing her unborn child. Dr. Snyder knew how desperate she was to keep the real story from coming out. And that is what he was using to blackmail her.

Chad: And even after she admitted the fall was an accident, she still let us believe that abigail was partly to blame. That if they hadn’t fought on the stairs, she wouldn’t have lost the baby.

Abigail: But the truth is, when we got into that argument, she wasn’t even pregnant anymore.

Jack: Is this true?

Belle: Guess nobody’s here. All right. It was just a costume. It wasn’t real. Just like the nightmare wasn’t real.

[Knocking on door] Who is it?

Steve: It’s steve.

Belle: Oh.

[Sighs]

Steve: Oh. You okay? You look like you’ve seen a ghost.

Belle: Something like that. Come on in.

Steve: I wasn’t expecting to see you here. I thought you were in south africa visiting claire.

Belle: Yeah. Shawn and I got back last night.

Steve: Well, how’s she doing?

Belle: Oh, she’s great. She’s great. It was a really–it was a really positive move for her. And– I’m sorry I-I just lost my train of thought. I’m just out of it from the time difference.

Steve: Oh, it’s okay. So where is everyone?

Belle: I don’t know. I came by to see my mom, and nobody was here.

Steve: Oh, that’s too bad. I was hoping to talk to your dad about some business.

Belle: My dad? He’s out of town on a case.

Steve: What case is that?

[Elevator bell dings]

Shawn: Ben? Hey, what’s going on? What are you doing here?

Ben: Oh, it’s ciara. She’s in there with kayla right now.

Shawn: Is something wrong?

Ben: Well, if you consider possibly being pregnant wrong.

Shawn: What? That’s-that’s amazing. Wow.

Ben: Surprised?

Shawn: Yeah. I mean, I’m surprised. Of course, I’m surprised. I mean–I mean, just last night you were just telling belle and I how you guys were gonna start trying to have one.

Ben: Yeah. It’s crazy, man. Ciara was saying that she was feeling a little queasy. She went and picked up a pregnancy test and it came back positive.

Shawn: Wow. Wow.

Ben: Yeah. Wow, wow.

Shawn: Hey. Are you still worried about you and ciara having a baby?

Kayla: All righty. I will get the lab to put a rush on this.

Ciara: And then I’ll know for sure. Wow. It must be such a huge moment finding out that you’re gonna be a mom knowing that your life is going to change forever.

Kayla: You have no idea.

Ciara: You know what, kayla? I think I just got a little scared.

Kayla: That is perfectly normal.

Ciara: Really?

Kayla: Yes. Having a baby is a big deal and there are gonna be times that you’re gonna be scared. But it’s also one of the most rewarding experiences that you’ll ever have.

[Light music]

Xander: Sorry. I still have no idea what you’re talking about.

Melinda: That’s how you wanna play this? Fine. I’ll humor you. The other day, I overheard you and ms. Rizczech chatting in this very room.

Xander: Oh, you mean when gwen wanted to see me and you so generously gave us all of 15 minutes.

Melinda: And oh, boy, did I learn a lot in that short amount of time.

Xander: You were eavesdropping on us?

Melinda: Certainly you had no expectation of privacy. This isn’t your living room, mr. Cook.

Xander: So what exactly do you think you heard?

Melinda: That ms. Rizczech has never been a sex worker. And that she’s been lying to everyone about the timing of her miscarriage. Oh, and I believe she said that her father would never forgive her if he ever found out that she was letting her sister abigail take the blame for the death of her baby when, in fact, she did nothing wrong.

Xander: You must have misunderstood.

Melinda: I think I understood perfectly. My guess is that gwen had already miscarried before her little tumble down the stairs, and then she lied about it after the fact.

Xander: That’s absurd.

Melinda: You’re certainly entitled to your own opinion. But I wanna know what mr. Deveraux thinks about it. So I’m just gonna run by him.

Xander: Wait.

Melinda: That’s what I thought.

Gwen: I don’t know where abigail got this insane idea from. Maybe she’s off her meds, or maybe she’s having some sort of a psychotic break. I don’t know ’cause I don’t know at all what she’s talking about.

Jack: Sweetheart, abigail, I know that you-you feel guilty about what happened with gwen’s baby.

Abigail: What does that have to do with anything?

Jack: I’m just wondering if this–this story might be a way to assuage that guilt.

Abigail: It’s not a story, dad, it is the truth.

Gwen: Really? Really? Do you have proof? Do you have any sort of evidence whatsoever to support this outrageous accusation? You know, snyder is dead. He’s in hell. And unless he’s risen from his grave, there’s no way you could have gotten this rubbish from him.

Abigail: I didn’t need to ’cause I have it all right here in your chart.

[Dramatic music]

As a dj, I know all about customization.

Steve: What makes you think john is away on a case?

Belle: My mom said he was.

Steve: Marlena said john left town on business for black patch?

Belle: She said that he left town on an important case. Why? Is something wrong?

Steve: It’s just the first I’m hearing about it, that’s all.

Belle: Is that unusual? That he wouldn’t tell you?

Steve: Not necessarily. I just did a solo job for victor kiriakis.

Belle: Okay. So one hand doesn’t always know what the other hand is doing.

Steve: Exactly. So if your mom said john is off on a case, must be true.

Ciara: As always, marlena has been such a huge help to ben. He’s had some worries about becoming a father. He’s scared that our child will develop his mental illness.

Kayla: Well, that is an understandable concern. But you both will be caring and attentive parents, and if you see anything off, you’ll get help right away.

Ciara: Absolutely. And marlena has helped ben see that his fear shouldn’t stop him from starting a family and clearly it hasn’t because here I am. But you know, given his psychological history and the way he grew up, I’m kinda scared that the worry may never go away.

Kayla: Well, what do you think?

Ciara: Well, I think he’s gonna be an excellent father. He’s gonna be everything that clyde never was for him. Clyde made ben’s childhood an absolute living hell, and our child is gonna be surrounded by nothing but love.

Shawn: Look, at dinner last night, you said that you were nervous about becoming a parent.

Ben: Well, dr. Evans helped me get past that. Plus, half of our baby’s genes is gonna belong to ciara. And she’s gonna be, like, the best mother ever, so.

Shawn: This is true. When my sister loves, man, she loves with everything she’s got. I can only imagine how fierce her love’s gonna be when it’s maternal.

Melinda: Here’s the deal. I’m gonna take what’s in this briefcase, and in exchange, I agree not to say a word to jack devereaux or anyone else about what I know.

Xander: Oh. So madame district attorney doesn’t really care about blackmail as long as she’s the one getting paid.

Melinda: The money’s not for me.

Xander: Then why do you want it?

Melinda: That’s personal.

Xander: And that’s a million dollars. The least you can do is tell me what you’re gonna do with it.

Melinda: I’m gonna use the money to honor my daughter’s memory.

Xander: Are you gonna donate it to the hospital?

Melinda: Haley did love being a nurse. But I thought about how I could do the greatest amount of good and help the most amount of people in a way that would truly be meaningful to haley. So I’ve decided I’m starting a legal defense fund to assist undocumented immigrants.

Xander: Oh, yeah, I remember she was almost deported.

Melinda: I was able to pull some strings at the last minute, but most parents don’t have a senator on speed dial. I want to be able to offer them resources, information, hope. There’s nothing more I can do for my daughter, but maybe I can help someone else’S.

Gwen: Where did you get that? My medical records are private.

Abigail: We found it in dr. Snyder’s office inside of a book called “miscarriage of justice.”

Chad: It’s a record of your first visit to the hospital. The one snyder agreed to keep secret if you run drugs for him.

Gwen: You broke into his office?

Abigail: Aunt kayla let us in.

Gwen: That’s illegal. I can have you arrested.

Jack: Everything abigail said is right here in snyder’s notes. It says you saw him that morning complaining of pain. He did an ultrasound that showed you’d miscarried.

Abigail: Before she fell down the stairs.

Jack: By then you knew. You already knew you’d lost your baby.

[Dramatic music]

Your heart is at the heart of everything you do.

Shawn: So what’s the verdict?

Ciara: Why, hello, bro. What are you doing here?

Shawn: Well, I came here to check up on abe run into ben. So what did the test say, huh?

Ciara: Oh, okay, easy. Aunt kayla put a rush on the test results, but we don’t know if you’re gonna be an uncle just yet. Or if you are going to be a father.

[Sighs] You guys.

Shawn: [Sighs]

[Light music]

Xander: Look. As an immigrant myself, I think what you’re doing is actually quite noble. But why do you have to do it with my money?

Melinda: Well, I did a little math to figure out what your lies have cost the taxpayers. Turns out, that’s a pretty tidy sum. After all the time and energy I and the hardworking people in my office have wasted on your high crimes and misdemeanors, I figured you’re not really entitled to this money.

Xander: Well, that is quite a stretch.

Melinda: I’m not interested in your opinion. But the choice is yours. If you don’t really care about protecting ms. Rizczech’s relationship with her father, then you can take this money and go.

Xander: Fine, keep it. But just to be clear, if I give you this cash, then I have your word that you will never say anything to jack about gwen’s secret.

Melinda: I swear to you, jack devereaux won’t hear it from me.

[Dramatic music]

Chad: How? How could you do this? I mean, you came between abigail and me once already. You were on a mission to ruin our marriage when you seduced me and got pregnant?

Gwen: I didn’t know that that would happen.

Chad: But it did. And as devastating as that was, my wife found a way to rise above and handle it with grace.

Gwen: Grace? Was that really graceful the way she screamed at me at the top of the stairs?

Chad: She said she regretted it. And my wife had nothing to do with what happened to that baby. Yet, you let her believe that she did. But she felt so guilty that she left town. She left me, she left our children.

Gwen: Abigail told me that she wanted to be rid of me and my baby. She meant that. She asked me to get an abortion.

Chad: And you told me that having the baby had nothing to do with hurting abigail, yet that was a lie.

Abigail: She wants to hurt all of us. After all of the understanding and the forgiveness that we have shown her, she’s still deceiving us and causing us pain. It’s all she knows how to do.

Gwen: Oh, yeah, because you are so perfect.

Abigail: I am far from it. But I was raised by loving people and so I know how to love. You weren’t, so you don’t know how to love anyone but yourself, and I feel sorry for you, gwen. I really do. I wish things could be different between us. But it’s very obvious to me now that they can’T. You’re a toxic person, and I don’t want you in my life.

[Dramatic music]

Jack: I can’t believe I didn’t see this coming. How could I have been so blind?

Gwen: I’m sorry.

Jack: I trusted you. I supported you. And my other daughter told me that all you wanted was to hurt me and our family. Why, gwen? Why would you do this?

Trelegy for copd.

Ciara: Oh, my god.

Kayla: Well, I have your results.

Ciara: Are you ready?

Ben: If you’re ready.

Ciara: Oh, my god. Okay, tell us.

Kayla: Congratulations. The two of you are gonna have a baby.

[Laughter and cheering]

Abigail: Thank you.

Chad: You haven’t said much since we got home. Are you okay?

Abigail: Actually, I think I am, you know. I have just spent so much of the last six months blaming myself for gwen’s miscarriage, and now that the truth is out, I don’t have to do that anymore. And I feel like this huge wave has just been lifted off of my chest. I just–

Chad: And… dropped on gwen.

Gwen: Abigail was wrong.

Jack: It’s all here in black and white.

Gwen: Not about that. I did lie about my miscarriage. I did. I lost my baby hours before I fell down the stairs. But she was wrong when she said that I don’t know how to love.

Jack: Really? I think she was right on the money. Your family turned the other cheek for you, opened their hearts to you. My brother kept you from going to prison.

Gwen: I know.

Jack: On how–how to treat other people… you don’t know a damn thing.

Gwen: I may not be very good with relationships, but I do know that how I feel about you is how a daughter should feel about her father. I feel grateful. And I feel safe. For the first time in my whole miserable life, I actually feel value as a human. I–I feel like somebody actually cares about me, I matter to somebody.

Jack: Then why would you lie to me?

Gwen: ‘Cause I didn’t want to lose all we have, ’cause it means more to me than anything else in this world. I couldn’t bear the thought of you looking at me the way that you are looking at me now, with so much anger and contempt. I knew that any love that you’ve hoped for me or any sort of connection that we had would be gone the minute that you found out what I’ve done. Now I can see that I was right. Please, dad.

Jack: No. Don’t– don’t you call me that.

Gwen: Dad? Jack? Please.

[Dramatic music]

Doesn’t your family deserve the best?

Xander: Oh. I have good news and bad news.

Gwen: Whatever it is, I’m sure it doesn’t hold a candle to mine.

Xander: What’s happened?

[Dramatic music]

Gwen: I just lost my father.

Xander: Wait, something happened to jack?

Gwen: Yes. They found out that I was lying about my miscarriage.

Xander: Oh, that bitch.

Gwen: How did you know it was abigail?

Xander: Abigail?

Gwen: Yeah, she figured the whole thing out.

Xander: How?

Gwen: Her aunt kayla let her and chad into snyder’s office. And they found my original chart, and then they brought it back here and they told jack everything. He’s furious. He wants absolutely nothing to do with me.

Xander: Oh, gwen, I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry, love.

Melinda: I swear to you, jack deveraux won’t hear it from me.

Xander: It’s going to be okay, I– I promise.

Chad: I’m so glad you don’t have to carry around that guilt anymore. I know that was one of the big issues that kept us apart.

Abigail: I’m not going anywhere. Thank you for your patience.

Chad: Thank you for being so forgiving.

Abigail: Obviously, I’m very glad that the truth has come out. But I just feel…horrible that my dad is so hurt. I think he was really starting to care for gwen. I don’t know if their relationship will survive this.

Kayla: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Hey.

Steve: The nurse at the desk told me I could find you in here.

Kayla: Something wrong?

Steve: I went over to john’s place to talk to him about some business. Belle was there. She said marlena told her john went out of town on a case.

Kayla: And he didn’t tell you about it?

Steve: He didn’t tell anybody. I called the office, they had no idea what I was talking about.

Kayla: Did you try calling him?

Steve: Multiple times. He’s not answering. He’s not calling back. Something’s not right here, baby.

[Elevator bell dings]

Shawn: Hey.

Belle: How’s abe?

Shawn: Oh, I haven’t had the chance to get in and see him yet.

Belle: Why not?

Shawn: ‘Cause I ran into ben and ciara. And I have good news. Ciara’s pregnant.

Belle: Oh! That’s so wonderful. Yay.

Ben: For your prenatal vitamin.

Ciara: Wow. You know, I can really get used to this. My handsome husband waiting on me, hand and foot, that’s a good deal.

Ben: Hmm. You better get used to it. Because I’m not letting you do anything until that baby is born.

Ciara: Ben, are you really happy that I’m pregnant? And I know that you’re excited in a way and we agree that it would be a good idea to have a baby, but I need you to be honest with me. Are you still having reservations about being a dad?

Ben: No, not anymore. Ciara, I am so blessed. I’m having a baby with the woman that I love. There’s nothing more that I want in my entire life.

[Rapid knocking on door]

Ciara: Mm-hmm.

Ben: Whoa, whoa, I’m doing everything now. Remember?

Ciara: Okay.

Ben: Whoa! Susan banks? What the hell are you doing here?

Susan: I had to come. I had to come, ben. I had to. I had a premonition, yeah, yeah, about your baby.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Maggie: Well, cook really outdid herself with these scones.

Victor: Mm-hmm.

Maggie: You should try one. Well, you know what I miss most about being away? Was our lovely conversations over breakfast. You know, the news about politics, and catching up. It was all so invigorating.

Victor: Excuse me?

Maggie: You didn’t hear a word I said?

Victor: I’m sorry. This article. Ava vitali, she’s– she’s in police custody on suspicion of killing the guy that shot abe. That’s wonderful, isn’t it?

Maggie: Well, thank god that horrible man is no longer a threat.

Victor: I’m talking about the part of her going down for murder.

Maggie: Oh, of course. How silly am I?

Victor: The woman blackmailed philip. Forced him to launder money through my company. I’m allowed to revel at her misfortune.

Maggie: Well, whatever sparks your joy, dear.

Victor: Another miscreant behind bars. You know the cell in pd lock up must be running out of room.

Justin: Actually a few spots just opened up.

Maggie: Oh, justin!

[Laughter] You are free!

Justin: Yes, I am.

Maggie: Oh, my goodness gracious.

Justin: All thanks to uncle vic and steve johnson.

Steve: Oh, hey. Right about now, gwen should be getting released.

Jack: Oh, steve, I don’t know how to thank you. You really came through for my daughter.

Steve: Well, when victor told me that the original deal didn’t include bonnie and gwen, I just didn’t think that was right.

Jack: So you fought for both of their released too?

Steve: And I was happy to do it.

Jack: Even though you’re not a fan of either one.

Steve: Well, I’ve come around on bonnie. And gwen is my niece. What kind of an uncle would I be if I just let her go to prison?

Xander: Oh, there you are. Are you okay?

Gwen: Better now.

Xander: What took so long? Bonnie and justin got already released. I was starting to worry there was something, like, snag with your case.

Melinda: I was just explaining to ms. Rizczech that the only reason why she’s free is because her uncle, steve, played hard ball.

Gwen: Apparently, your uncle did not intend to save bonnie or me.

Melinda: If it were up to me, all four of you would be serving time in statesville.

Xander: Oh, a softie like you wanting us all locked up? I’m surprised.

Melinda: More than you know. But your freedom was a small price to pay for what I got in return–the bitch who murdered my daughter.

Kristen: Oh, thank you for coming. So where’s ej?

Chad: [Sighs] He won’t be showing up.

Kristen: What do you mean? Why not? I need him to represent me.

Chad: I’ll let him explain it himself.

Kristen: [Exhales sharply]

Abigail: Aunt kayla, do you have a minute?

Kayla: Oh, sure. I was just going on my break, so yeah, I definitely have a minute. What’s up?

Abigail: Did you happen to get my text the other day?

Kayla: I’m sorry, I did. Then, everything with abe and everything else going on. I’m sorry. Things got so crazy.

Abigail: Totally understand. No, no. But now that everything is okay with abe, thank god, I’m hoping that you could help me out.

Kayla: Okay.

Abigail: [Sighs] I think that gwen is lying to my dad, and I need you to help me prove it.

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

[Soft orchestration]

Justin: Since D.A. Trask dropped all the charges, I probably won’t be disbarred.

Maggie: Oh, that is fantastic news! Did you happen to pull some strings?

Victor: Well, I might have negotiated a deal that was mutually beneficial with trask.

Maggie: Oh, and what did she get out of the deal?

Victor: Something, or someone that she’s always wanted. Kristen dimera.

Maggie: But she’s gone into hiding.

Victor: Well, that’s why i hired steve johnson to find her, and apparently, he’s come through. Looks like he took her directly to trask.

Justin: It’s a fact. Kristen is already in custody.

Victor: Could this day get any better?

Victor: I really do appreciate your help, uncle vick. Things were looking pretty dire.

Victor: Well, you’re the best of us, justin. I couldn’t allow you to go to prison. Although what you did was very, very stupid.

Justin: I love you too. Sincerely, thank you. Bonnie and I owe you.

Victor: Bonnie? The hell she’s got to do with it?

[Squeals] Time to get this party started!

[Giggles]

Xander: Oh, I would love to see the look on victor’s face when he finds out bonnie’s out of jail.

Gwen: He hates her that much?

Xander: Can’t stand the sight of her. No, he’s convinced that she’s not nearly good enough for precious justin.

Gwen: I can’t imagine what he’d think of me then.

Xander: I don’t give a damn. Victor’s opinion hasn’t mattered to me for a very long time.

Melinda: Ugh, this insight into the kiriakis family dynamic is oh, so fascinating, but you’ll have to excuse me. I have a psychopath to put away. Although, something tells me it won’t be long before I see one or both of you back here again.

Xander: Excuse me, um, aren’t you forgetting something? You and I have unfinished business.

Kayla: So what do you think gwen’s lying about?

Abigail: Well, I mean, i don’t know if you’ve heard, but gwen admitted to my dad that dr. Snyder blackmailed her into being his drug courier.

Kayla: Yes, jack did tell steve and me that, yeah.

Abigail: And did he happen to mention the leverage that snyder had over gwen?

Kayla: Just that apparently he knew that she was a sex worker in her past.

Abigail: Right, which, I mean, she only did it to help make ends meet, which is so sad and something my dad would absolutely understand. And she knew that, and he did understand.

Kayla: Right.

Abigail: So I just–I don’t see why she would allow herself to be blackmailed into delivery drugs, something that she abhorred, all in an effort to keep my dad from finding out she used to be a sex worker. I mean, we both know she’s done things infinitely worse since coming to town, and she’s felt no shame about them.

Kayla: So the point is, you think that she’s lying about her past?

Abigail: Yes, I do. I think she’s hiding something else, something much worse.

Victor: Why aren’t you in jail?

Bonnie: [Giggles] What are you talking about? Hey, honey.

Justin: Hi.

Bonnie: You’re the one who got me sprung. That’s why I bought you this fancy champagne as a thank you. Mm-hmm.

Victor: Well, you’re not welcome. Must be some sort of a mix-up.

Justin: What do you mean?

Victor: I negotiated a deal for you and xander to be released. It didn’t include the release of some dime store dolly parton.

Bonnie: Well, I guess patchy renegotiated the terms, because now both gwen and i are free as birds. Tweet tweet.

Xander: Gwen and I aren’t walking out of here until you return my briefcase.

Melinda: Oh, the one filled with a million dollars?

Xander: Yeah, that’d be the one. And now that bonnie’s case is closed, you don’t need it for evidence anymore.

Gwen: And xander and I have really big plans for that money. Don’t we, darling? Starting with a tropical paradise resort and mai tais.

Xander: Not to mention sex on the beach.

Gwen: Yeah, and he’s not talking about the drink.

Melinda: Ew. Okay. Enough already. I’ll get you your money, mr. Kiriakis, but the paperwork will take a while. So why don’t you come back in an hour or two?

Xander: I’ll be here, and I expect every last dollar to be accounted for. Shall we?

Yeah.

Steve: You know, initially kayla and I had a hard time accepting gwen into the family after what she did to you and jennifer, and the hell she put abigail through.

Jack: I understand, I do. But you have to know, gwen regrets everything she’s done, the pain she’s caused. She’s worked so hard to make amends and turn her life around.

Steve: Yeah, well the only reason she saw the inside of a cell was because she was trying to take down a corrupt judge.

Jack: Exactly, exactly. Gwen’s really trying, and I just hope it– hope it counts for something.

Steve: Well, I had to give her a second chance. I’ve had plenty of those myself.

Jack: Me too. And for what it’s worth, I truly believe that gwen has changed. She’s done for good with her secrets and lies.

Kayla: So if gwen wasn’t a sex worker in her past, what do you think snyder was holding over her head?

Abigail: I don’t know. And to be honest, I hope that I’m wrong. I mean, gwen and my dad have gotten close recently, as I’m sure you know, and if there is something, I hate the idea of hurting my dad, and gwen, for that matter. I’ve done enough to that woman as it is. I’m the reason she lost the baby–the whole fight at the top of the stairs– and that’s just really hard to forgive myself for.

Kayla: Abigail, it was an accident.

Abigail: Yeah, but it wouldn’t have happened if i wasn’t so furious. And it didn’t end there, right? You know, I mean, she went, she was treated by snyder because of the fall, and we all know where that led. And so, I–part of me feels like I should just let the whole thing go, but I just have this nagging feeling that there is something else going on. And that’s where you come in.

Kayla: I–I don’t see how I could help.

Abigail: I’d like to go in and take a look at snyder’s office. I’m–I’m hoping that I could go in there and I could find some clue as to what it was he was really holding over gwen.

Kristen: “Dear kristen, I know you were counting on me to represent you against your latest charges, but the board has advised me not to take on your case, as it will reflect badly on the company. I will do what I can to help you behind the scenes, but unfortunately, I cannot do so publicly.” What the hell? I nursed this bastard back from the grave, and this is how he repays me?

Chad: I lobbied hard. Ej refuses to go against shin.

Kristen: [Scoffs] To hell with shin and appearances. My future is on the line, and without ej’s help, I could spend the rest of my life behind bars. I order my groceries online now.

Steve: So you and gwen have gotten pretty close, haven’t you?

Jack: We have. We have, and now that she’s finally let down her guard, I’ve had a glimpse of the kind of woman she could’ve been if she hadn’t been walking around carrying that huge chip on her shoulder. Selfless, caring, especially when it comes to xander.

Steve: Things pretty serious between them?

Jack: Well, she did try to entrap that judge to get xander out of jail.

Steve: Well, nothing says love like pretending to seduce another man.

Jack: In a weird way, in gwen’s mind, that’s exactly what that said. And now that she has zander are out of jail, they have a real chance to see where it can go.

Gwen: [Scoffs] Well, I just checked upstairs, there’s not a soul to welcome us.

Xander: You didn’t really think anyone in this house would actually be glad to see us, did you, besides your father?

Gwen: I suppose you’re right. Hey, what are you doing there, mister? Is that my laptop?

Xander: Oh, I hope you don’t mind; I just couldn’t wait to get started on our vacation plans.

Gwen: You really are excited about this, aren’t you?

Xander: Are you kidding? We’ve been apart for weeks in tiny, dank cells. The least we deserve is to unwind on a nice, sandy beach somewhere.

Gwen: Mm, yes. With our toes in the water.

Xander: Seagulls squawking overhead.

Gwen: [Chuckles] The smell of salty air.

Xander: And you, in the tiniest bikini we can find.

Gwen: And you, trunks or a speedo?

Xander: Speedo. You know I can pull it off.

Gwen: Not unless I pull it off first.

Kayla: The police had sealed snyder’s office, but as of this morning, the case is officially closed since all the charges against xander have been dropped. Apparently he was the last unresolved part of the case. The rest of the drug ring has already been rounded up.

Abigail: Mm-hmm. Well, are you sure this is okay? I don’t want you to get into any trouble.

Kayla: Well, I don’t see why you can’T. I already retrieved all the patient information, so now, all that’s left are his personal effects.

Abigail: Great. Well, I can’t thank you enough for this.

Kayla: Well, just lock the door when you leave. And good luck. I hope you find what you’re looking for.

Abigail: So do I.

Kayla: Okay.

Kristen: [Sighs]

Chad: Don’t panic, okay? Ej hired another attorney. He’s supposed to be top notch. He’ll meet you at the courthouse later.

Kristen: Oh, great. Am I supposed to be grateful? When did ej become such a coward that he couldn’t come down here and tell me to my face that he was abandoning me?

Chad: You know he’s worried about the bad publicity.

Kristen: Didn’t seem to bother you. Or are you not scared of incurring shin’s wrath?

Chad: Well, you know me. I like to live dangerous.

Kristen: Thank you. Thank you for coming down here.

Chad: I’m sorry you’re in this mess, kristen.

Kristen: Yeah, and I’m only in it because victor sicced steve johnson on me. Ooh, I really ought to just stab the old man in the heart, again.

[Laughter]

Chad: No, no, no.

Kristen: [Sighs]

Steve: So johnson went behind my back and negotiated a side deal. I should’ve known I couldn’t trust him.

Justin: And here I thought you did something nice for a change.

Steve: I did do something nice, just not for her.

Maggie: Victor!

Bonnie: [Scoffs] I don’t know why you’re making such a big fuss. You got what you wanted. Justin and xander are free. Gwen and I are just an added bonus. Kind of like when you order onion rings and you get a couple of fries thrown in.

Steve: No, absolutely not. No, I’m going to call trask. This has got to be fixed right away.

Justin: No, stop! The deal is done, and in case you need to be reminded, bonnie is innocent. She deserves her freedom.

Victor: She killed a woman and tucked her into your bed.

Bonnie: It was self-defense.

Victor: Forgive me if I find that hard to believe.

Maggie: Victor, let it go. Justin and bonnie have been through enough. I’m sure they’re ready to put this nightmare behind them.

Justin: And that’s exactly what I intend to do. In fact, I would like to, um, pick up right where we left off. What do you think about getting married today? Better skin from your body wash?

Bonnie: [Giggles] You want to get married today?

Justin: Why not? We could have the ceremony right here, just like we originally planned.

Victor: This venue is booked.

Maggie: For what?

Victor: I’m having friends over for lunch.

Justin: You don’t have any friends.

Victor: How the hell would you know that?

Justin: Name one.

Victor: Ricardo.

Maggie: He’s your barber.

Bonnie: [Snorts]

Justin: That settles it. We’re having the ceremony right here. Now we just have to hope that the justice of the peace, the matron of honor, the best man are all available. I’ll call them right now.

Bonnie: Wait, what do I wear? My wedding dress is all wrinkled, and still in the bag from being arrested.

Justin: Not a word. How about that dress that you were gonna wear for the reception?

Bonnie: It’s perfect. Why didn’t I think of that? Oh, god, I love you so much.

Justin: I love you too.

Bonnie: Aw! You have made me the happiest woman in the world.

Justin: Let’s go.

Bonnie: Okay.

Justin: Oh.

Bonnie: Oh.

[Laughter]

Victor: I’m gonna kill steve johnson.

Kayla: [Gasps]

Steve: [Growls lowly]

Kayla: [Squeals] Hello.

Steve: People are watching us.

Kayla: Perfect timing.

Steve: Well, I thought you would be on your break about now, so I wanted to come down and see if I could steal you away for a stroll in the park.

Kayla: Well, that sounds lovely. I just need to hear back from the lab, and then we can go.

Steve: Okay.

Kayla: So how was your breakfast with jack? I bet he was very happy that you got gwen released.

Steve: He was. I tell you, though, I’m just hoping our niece can manage to stay out of trouble from now on.

Kayla: Yeah, about that… you know, I’m sorry to say this, but I–I think that she might be lying to jack again.

Steve: About what?

[Cell phone rings] Hold that thought. Hey, justin. What’s up?

Melinda: I heard the bad news. Your brother, ej, is throwing you to the wolves. Hmm, tough break.

Kristen: Uh-huh, yeah. Well, he did arrange for another lawyer. The best, so, I’m not worried.

Melinda: Well, you should be. You’ll be serving out the five years of your original sentence, which could’ve been two, but you blew that by breaking out twice. And now, you’re facing additional charges of… how many counts of kidnapping and aggravated assault? I can’t keep track anymore. So trust me, you are going away for a very, very long time. And I want you to know, I’m the one that’s making it happen.

Chad: Hey. Got your message. Find anything yet?

Abigail: Uh, not so far. Snyder was definitely a pack rat, which is why I needed your help.

Chad: Anything you need. Where do you want me to start looking?

Abigail: Um, why don’t you do these cabinets here?

Chad: You got it.

Abigail: How did things go with your sister?

Chad: Well, she’s upset that ej’s not taking the case. I can’t blame her, you know. I mean, ej goes on and on about loyalty, but whenever it comes down to it, he’s only ever out for himself.

Abigail: Yeah, well, we knew that already, right?

Chad: What exactly are we looking for?

Abigail: I don’t know. I’m sort of hoping something’s just gonna jump out at us, but maybe I’m grasping at straws and there’s nothing to find.

Chad: We sure as hell aren’t going to give up. Gwen has a secret in here. We’re going to find it.

Both: [Moaning]

Xander: Oh, god, I’ve missed those lips. Every bit of you.

Gwen: I think we should take this to my room, yeah?

Xander: Why don’t we stay here? Why waste precious moments climbing stairs?

Gwen: [Laughs] We know how julie feels about this couch. She will absolutely kill us.

Xander: Or number one, she’s not here, and two, she doesn’t have to know. And three, I am so crazy for you right now. I can’t wait another second.

Gwen: Oh, god. Oh, yeah.

[Both laugh] Hurry. Hurry.

Jack: Gwen, are you– oh, my god.

Gwen: [Screams]

Xander: [Grunts]

Gwen: Oh. It’s my 4:05 the-show-must-go-on

Jack: Excuse me. I didn’t mean to interrupt.

Xander: No worries, mate. Did you have to shove me so hard?

Gwen: I’m sorry, it’s reflex. Are you all right?

Xander: Just a broken rib or two, no big deal.

Jack: I really should be going, so I’ll–

Gwen: No. No, no, no, no. Jack, jack, please don’t go. Don’t go. I’m so happy to see you.

Jack: Not as happy as I am to see you. Steve filled me in on everything, welcome home.

Both: [Laughs]

Gwen: I owe steve so much.

Jack: Listen, you pay him back by having a really good life.

Gwen: Believe me. I plan to do that, and it’ll be such a relief to know I don’t have to ever think about that awful snyder ever again.

[Tense music]

Chad: Snyder was really into legal thrillers.

Abigail: Maybe he was researching how to get away with running a drug ring.

Chad: I mean, he certainly wasn’t studying the classics– “law and disorder”, “miscarriage of justice”?

Abigail: What’s that?

Chad: Looks like a medical record.

Abigail: For gwen rizczech?

Chad: It’s about the miscarriage.

Abigail: Whoa, it is, but why would he be keeping this hidden away in a book?

Kristen: I’m very aware of the deal you made with victor and steve. I’m a bit surprised an overachiever like you cut loose four potential feathers in your sad little cap.

Melinda: It was so worth it. The woman who killed my daughter wasting away in a prison cell. I will finally have justice for my little girl.

Kristen: I’m sorry about haley, but it truly was an accident–

Melinda: Shut the hell up with your excuses. You took my daughter away from me.

Kristen: Yeah, and you are doing exactly the same to me. I may never get to see rachel again.

Melinda: That seems fair to me. I lost my daughter because of you. I’m just returning the favor.

Kayla: Hello?

Steve: Hey.

Maggie: Hey.

Steve: Where are the bride and groom?

Maggie: Oh, they’re still getting dressed.

Victor: This is all your fault.

Steve: Say what?

Victor: We had a deal. And that deal did not include you going behind my back and making any side deals to release any other trash that you happen to have around town.

Kayla: Well, what was steve to do? Leave them behind? I mean, bonnie was innocent and gwen was just helping zander.

Steve: There was no way in hell I was going to leave my brother’s daughter and justin’s fiancée in prison, so I don’t give a damn what you think.

Victor: I should’ve known you’d go rogue. Let me make one thing clear. I am not paying you one red cent, and I’m not going to hire you either.

Steve: Is that a promise? Oh.

Kayla: Oh.

Steve: There’s the happy couple. Except they don’t look so happy. What’s going on, man?

Justin: The justice of the peace is not available today. So we’ll have to postpone the ceremony.

Victor: Great.

Maggie: No, you won’t! I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I suppose I could officiate. On the outside, I looked fine.

Bonnie: You’re offering to marry us? You don’t even like me.

Maggie: Well, you’re not exactly my favorite person, but you are justin’s, and that counts for something.

Justin: Thank you, maggie. Thank you.

Victor: This is ludicrous. You’re not even ordained.

Maggie: Well, actually, I got ordained in prison last year. I had a lot of time on my hands.

Victor: You couldn’t take up macrame?

Kayla: I think it’s a great idea.

Steve: So do I.

Maggie: [Chuckles]

Justin: Shall we do this?

Bonnie: There’s nothing I want more.

[Laughter]

Maggie: All right, well, let me write a script, and I’ll be right back.

Kayla: Well, I thought that you might need this.

Maggie: Oh, thank you.

Kayla: Well, what are matrons of honor for?

Bonnie: Could I ask you one more favor?

Kayla: Of course.

Bonnie: Mimi wanted to video chat so she could watch. Could you hold my phone?

Kayla: Yes, I’d be happy to.

Justin: And, steve, do you mind doing the same thing for sonny and his brothers?

Steve: No problem, buddy.

Justin: Okay.

Bonnie: Steve, I know I’m about to have the happiest day of my life, and it’s all because of you, because you got me out of prison. So I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all you did for me.

[Laughs] For me and my about-to-be husband.

Justin: Steve, we are so very grateful. Thank you.

Steve: You know, kayla and I are grateful too because you look happy. I can see those dimples again.

[Laughter]

Justin: Okay, are we all set?

Kayla: Yep.

Justin: Are you staying?

Victor: Why wouldn’t I? I was here first.

Justin: Suit yourself. But you better be on your best behavior. I don’t want you casting a pall over our celebration.

Victor: I wouldn’t dream of it.

Jack: I think we should celebrate your freedom with a toast.

Gwen: Sounds lovely.

Jack: To my best mate. To my darling daughter. I know these past few months have not been easy, but I never cease to be amazed and impressed by how the two of you have looked out for each other. Not quite yet. I’d like to think of this as a fresh start. What’s that irish blessing? May green be the grass you walk on. May blue be the skies above you. May pure be the joys that surround you. May true be the hearts that love you.

Xander: Now?

Jack: Now.

Xander: Cheers.

Gwen: Cheers.

Both: [Indistinct]

Gwen: Mmm.

[Phone beeps]

Xander: Oh, a text from trask. Paperwork’s finished. I can collect my briefcase. I’ll be back as soon as I can. We are one step closer to our little bit of paradise.

Gwen: I can’t wait.

Xander: Me neither. Thanks so much for the welcome, jack.

Jack: I take it you two are official now?

Gwen: [Sighs] I–I suppose so, yeah. How do you feel about that?

Jack: Does he make you happy?

Gwen: [Sighs] Believe it or not, yeah. Yes.

Jack: Then you have my blessing.

Gwen: That means more to me than you know. Thanks, dad.

Jack: Dad?

Gwen: Sorry. That sort of just slipped out.

Jack: No, no. Don’t be sorry. I’ve been waiting months to hear you call me that.

[Laughter]

Gwen: Lovely.

Abigail: “Patient experienced sharp abdominal pain, drove herself to the hospital 20 minutes after symptoms began.”

Chad: Well, that’s not what happened. Gwen took an ambulance here.

Abigail: That just doesn’t make any sense. This doesn’t mention anything about her falling down the stairs. Look at the time on these.

Chad: What about them?

Abigail: This says that this exam took place hours before gwen and I had the argument.

Chad: So she was here before the accident?

Abigail: Oh, my god. Why give your family just ordinary eggs

Maggie: Dearly beloved, we are gathered today to join justin alexander kiriakis with bonnie maureen lockhart in marriage. This commitment is not to be entered into lightly, as it is a sacred bond and one that comes with great responsibility. If there is anyone present who may show why this couple should not be lawfully wed, speak now, or forever hold your peace.

Justin: Don’t even think about it.

Victor: Worth a shot.

Maggie: Shall we continue?

Justin: Please.

Maggie: Justin, will you take bonnie as your lawfully wedded wife?

Justin: I do.

Maggie: To love, honor, and cherish her through good times and bad through all the days of your life?

Justin: I do.

Maggie: And, bonnie, will you take justin to be your lawfully wedded husband?

Bonnie: You bet I do.

Maggie: To love, honor, and cherish him through good times and bad for all the days of your life?

Bonnie: Every single second of every single minute, every single hour of every single day.

Both: [Laughs]

Maggie: Justin and bonnie will now exchange rings as a symbol of their love and commitment for each other.

Bonnie: [Exhales]

Maggie: Justin, would you place this ring on bonnie’s finger and repeat after me? As a symbol of my never-ending love, with this ring, I thee wed.

Justin: As a symbol of my never-ending love, with this ring, I thee wed.

[Tender music]

Maggie: Bonnie.

Bonnie: Mm.

Kayla: Sorry.

Maggie: Would you place this ring on justin’s finger and repeat after me? As a symbol of my never-ending love, with this ring, I thee wed.

Bonnie: As a symbol of my never-ending love, with this ring, I thee wed. Forever and ever and ever.

Both: [Chuckle]

Maggie: And now with the power vested in me, I’m honored to pronounce you husband and wife. Justin, you may kiss the bride.

[Laughs]

[Laughter]

Steve: There we go!

Maggie: All right!

Kayla: Now we’re talking.

Maggie: All right.

Xander: Got your text. Where’s my money?

Melinda: It’s all here. Your precious 1 million.

Xander: Yeah, I’d like to see it for myself if you don’t mind.

Melinda: [Scoffs] Please don’t tell me you’re going to count it.

Xander: No, I’ll trust you, because you know there will be hell to pay if it’s not all there. It’s been real.

Melinda: I don’t regret at all to inform you that you won’t be spending a penny of this.

Xander: What are you talking about?

Melinda: Because you’re going to be giving the money to me.

Xander: Why exactly would I do that?

Melinda: Because if you don’t I will blow your girlfriend’s life sky high.

Gwen: [Sighs] So you’re really okay with me calling you “dad”?

Jack: Why wouldn’t I be?

Gwen: This whole father-daughter thing, it’s still rather new to me, and I didn’t know if we were quite there yet.

Jack: Then let me remove any doubt from your mind. You are my daughter, and I love you, and nothing will ever change that.

Gwen: Thank you, dad.

Jack: Oh.

Gwen: [Chuckles]

[Door opens]

[Tense music]

Abigail: [Clears throat]

Jack: Well, how perfect is this? You’re just in time to join our little celebration.

Abigail: Well, sorry, dad. Party’s over.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Philip: Sorry, man.

Nick: Don’t worry about it. Happy halloween.

Philip: Weird. That guy in the zombie costume looked just like nick fallon. But how can that be? Nick is dead.

Gabi: Jake, baby, please! I’m here, okay? You have to be alive. Please, just stay alive. Baby, please! You buried him. Be alive!

Nick: Well, I think of it more like a sublet.

Gabi: Stay alive, jake! I’m here, I’m coming! Stay alive, you have to stay alive! Dead or alive?

Nick: Why don’t you ask him?

Gabi: This is gonna take all day! Oh, thank god. Jake, baby, I’m coming. I’m here. Be alive.

Eli: Shawn.

Shawn: Oh, hey.

Eli: Sorry I had to call you in so late.

Shawn: No, it’s no problem. What’s going on?

Eli: Well, all hallow’s eve has brought out the goons, the goblins, and the crazies, starting with gabi, who apparently busted jake out of holding.

Shawn: What?

Eli: Yeah. Listen, that doesn’t even compare to the murder suspect that we’ve got in the interrogation room. Someone you know, actually.

Shawn: Oh, boy. I’m afraid to ask.

Eli: Ava vitali.

Shawn: What happened?

Eli: Honestly, I think she just snapped.

Ava: God, charlie. How is this possible? How are you back? I shouldn’t have run. I shouldn’t have. I should’ve stayed, I should’ve stopped you. God– charlie, please, don’t hurt tripp. Please. Please don’t hurt your brother, please.

Tripp: Allie? Get the hell away from her.

Charlie: Of course, superman tripp to the rescue. Why am I not surprised?

Tripp: Oh, my god. Mom was telling the truth. You really are here.

Charlie: What are you gonna do about it?

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

[Soft orchestration]

Gabi: Don’t give up, jake. I’m so close. I’m here, baby. I have to be close, okay? Yes, yes. Yes. Jake!

Shawn: Ava stabbed carmine merlino? Isn’t he the same guy who shot abe?

Eli: Yeah.

Shawn: How is that possible?

Eli: Look, all that talk about ava breaking free from her past, it seems like those mob ties run pretty damn deep. Apparently she was hiding carmine at rafe’s house.

Shawn: Oh, my gosh. She admitted that?

Eli: She’s not admitting much of anything. Hell, she’s not even making sense. That’s why I’m headed out on a few leads to see if I can find out exactly what happened. You mind taking a run at her? See if you can get her to tell you exactly what she knows?

Shawn: Yeah, man, I mean, I could give it a try.

Eli: Well, if you’re lucky, maybe you’ll be able to get her to talk to you about something other than people rising from the dead.

Nicole: Oh, god.

Rafe: This had better be good.

Nicole: Listen, deimos– deimos was here.

Rafe: What?

Nicole: He came back to get me and I–I killed him. Rafe, I stabbed him with a pair of scissors.

Rafe: Damn it, nicole. Deimos kiriakis is dead.

Nicole: No, he is in there dead on the floor with a pair of scissors in his chest. Go look for yourself.

Rafe: Nicole, you need to see this.

Nicole: I don’t understand. He was here. He–deimos was right here.

Gabi: Jake, jake, it’s me! I’m here. Can you hear me? I’m gonna get you out. I’m gonna get you out, okay? It’s me. Jake! Jake, I’m here. I order my groceries online now.

Nick: So I guess mommy filled you in. Warned her precious tripp that big, bad charlie was in town. Of course she did.

Tripp: Allie, are you okay? Has he hurt you?

Allie: No.

Tripp: Walk–walk over here, by me.

Charlie: No! I’m in charge here. You’re not going anywhere.

Tripp: Hey, it’s– it’s gonna be okay. It’s gonna be–everything’s gonna be okay.

Charlie: Why is that? Because her knight in shining armor is here to protect her? Is that it?

Tripp: Let her go, okay? I’m the one you hate, not allie.

Charlie: You’re right about that, big brother, and this is finally my chance to do something about it.

Ava: Shawn. Shawn, did eli tell you what happened? You have to do something. You have to find charlie.

Shawn: I will look into it, I promise, but first, I want to talk to you.

Ava: Okay, no. I don’t– I don’t want coffee. I want you to find charlie before it is too late.

Shawn: Look, ava, I need you to calm down, all right? I can’t help you until I know the facts.

Ava: I told detective grant the facts.

Shawn: Okay, well, tell them again, but tell them to me, all right? Start with what happened between you and carmine merlino.

Ava: You know, this is a waste of time, right? Because I didn’t kill carmine. My son, charlie, did.

Shawn: Ava, charlie’s dead.

Ava: No, he’s not. I saw him.

Shawn: No, you could not have seen him. Jan spears killed charlie and framed belle for the crime. Don’t you remember that?

Ava: Of course I remember it. Everyone in this town was a suspect.

Shawn: Right. So it doesn’t matter who killed him. The fact is, charlie’s dead.

Gabi: Jake, jake! Jake, please, please! Baby, you have to wake up. Please, jake. Jake, jake, jake, I’m here. Wake up. Wake up, please, please, please. Stay with me, please. Jake, don’t– no. No, no, no, no. Jake, jake, breathe, breathe. Gotta breathe. You gotta breathe, okay? Okay. Jake, jake!

Jake: [Gasps]

Gabi: Oh, my–thank god!

[Gasping frantically]

Jake: What the hell happened?

Gabi: I’m sorry. Are you okay? Thank god–

Jake: I–was I in a–

Gabi: In a coffin? Yes, yes. Are you okay? Are you fine?

Jake: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I’m much more alive than I was a few minutes ago, I guess.

Gabi: I thought I lost you.

Jake: Yeah, well, you might lose me if you don’t let me just breathe for a second.

Gabi: Okay, I’m sorry.

Jake: No, I just– oh, my god, I’m so happy to see you. You want to tell me what the hell is going on?

Gabi: I–I don’t know. I saw what I saw, and I still don’t know what happened. Do you know how you got here?

Jake: The last thing I remember, I– a cop…was taking me to lock up in jail, and I– someone grabbed me from behind and… that’s the last thing I remember until I just woke up with your lips on mine. That’s a hell of a way to wake up, by the way.

Gabi: I’m so sorry. This is all my fault.

Jake: Your fault?

Gabi: Yeah. Nick fallon, he came after you because of me. He busted you out of jail and he buried you in his grave.

Jake: Nick fallon?

[Eerie music]

Is that the guy you killed?

Nicole: This–this doesn’t make any sense. Deimos was here, dead on the floor with that pair of scissors in his chest. I mean, how could he just– how could he just disappear?

[Sighs] You think I’m crazy, don’t you?

Rafe: Okay, why don’t you just tell me what happened?

Nicole: [Stammers] I– I was right here working, and I heard a noise, and I looked up, and deimos was at the door.

Rafe: Okay. Then what happened?

Nicole: And, oh, god. He was so angry, and he told me that I was gonna pay, and he came at me and I panicked, and i grabbed the pair of scissors, and I stabbed him. And–and he was right here! He was right here when I called you.

Rafe: Okay. Okay, so–so deimos came back from the dead, and you killed him, and now he’s gone. No blood on the scissors. Oh, but they say zombies don’t bleed, right?

Nicole: Rafe, the look in his eyes– I have never been so terrified in my life.

Rafe: Okay, okay. So let’s say deimos did come back from the dead, right? Well, he’s got a hell of a lot of enemies, so why is he gonna come after you?

Nicole: ‘Cause he said he wanted revenge.

Rafe: Revenge? For what? Once upon a time there was a reindeer named tiptoe

Rafe: Nicole, why would deimos want revenge on you?

Nicole: [Sighs] Because I– because I rejected him, okay? You know–you know how obsessed he was with me.

Rafe: Right, okay. So that’s why deimos showed up here tonight from the dead, ready to kill you because you had rejected him and he never got over it, even after he died.

Nicole: Of course, you don’t believe me. I wouldn’t believe me. Oh, my–

Rafe: Oh, okay, here. What I believe–what I believe is that, um, you were here alone in the dark, and it’s halloween and everyone’s thinking of ghouls and goblins, and it’s– it’s natural, right? Your mind, it just, you know, maybe it played tricks on you.

Nicole: No, no, no. My mind was not playing tricks on me, rafe. I–

Rafe: Okay.

Nicole: Okay, you know what? Maybe it–it all was in my imagination. Okay, so I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have bothered you.

Rafe: No, it’s okay.

Nicole: No, it’s not. It’s not okay, okay? Can we just please forget what happened here? I was acting like a crazy woman. And just– just go home to ava.

Rafe: Yeah, well, actually I’m not going home to ava.

Nicole: Why not?

Rafe: Because ava is being questioned about a murder.

Ava: Don’t speak to me like I am an idiot. Of course, we all know that jan spears killed charlie, but it doesn’t change the fact that charlie showed up in my kitchen tonight.

Shawn: Right, and he’s the one who killed carmine.

Ava: Yes. Carmine was trying to strangle me, and then suddenly charlie showed up, and he killed him. And then he starts ranting and raving about how I never loved him, and I would never love him enough, and then he came after me with a knife, and that is why I ran.

Shawn: Okay, so– so carmine wanted you dead.

Ava: Yes.

Shawn: But now–but now he– now he’s dead. I mean–

Shawn: Yes, because charlie killed him.

Shawn: Yes, I know. I know that’s your story.

Ava: It’s the truth.

Shawn: I thought you changed your ways, ava.

Ava: I have.

Shawn: Moved in with rafe, starting a new life.

Ava: What are you trying to get at?

Shawn: I don’t know. You’ve got a good thing going. And you’re happy, you’re settled, and then your past comes back, and it bites you. Things get out of hand. I don’t know. Maybe you’re latching onto this crazy story because you want to avoid taking responsibility for killing carmine merlino.

Philip: Detective grant. You out trick-or-treating? I’m afraid we’re down to the dregs, but there’s still a few good pieces left if you dig.

Eli: I’m here on police business.

Philip: What can I do for you?

Eli: Carmine merlino was found dead earlier this evening.

Philip: I heard about that on the news. Wasn’t he the man believed to have shot mayor carver? What would you want with me?

Eli: Look, you can–you can cut the whole innocent act, okay? I know that you’re up to your eyeballs in this.

Philip: How so?

Eli: Because carmine merlino was in town because of you. Because he had got some dirt on jake dimera that you were gonna use to get gabi to hand over her company to you. Allegedly. And instead he ended up shooting my father-in-law.

Philip: That’s quite a tale. But if you’re looking for me to confirm it–

Eli: Why don’t you just start with answering some of my questions. Like when’s the last time that you saw the guy?

Philip: Will you please calm down? Jake’s the one who brought carmine to salem. You and I didn’t even know about it.

Ava: You think that gabi’s gonna let jake take the rap? She hates my guts. Damn! I don’t know why I agreed to help you. I don’t know what I was thinking.

Philip: I thought you had nerves of steel.

Ava: Rafe cannot find out that I am mixed up in what happened to abe carver.

Philip: So what do you wanna do?

Ava: We gotta keep carmine quiet, which means you need to do what he wants.

Philip: I can’t hide him here. He came to the freaking front door. You think henderson’s not gonna tell my father about my house guest, the mobster? You know how to disappear people. You get rid of carmine.

Ava: All right, I will.

Philip: Call me when it’s handled.

Ava: Oi, hey, hey. Where you think you’re going?

Philip: You started this. You handle it. I’ve got places to go, people to see. I admit I… learned some unsavory details about an employee and promptly fired him for it, which isn’t a crime the last time I checked. But if this carmine was an associate of jake’s, maybe the person you want to talk to is jake.

Jake: Nick fallon. You killed him…twice, right? So…how the hell is he alive enough to try and kill me?

Gabi: All I know is he was dead and buried here up until tonight. Now he’s walking around salem as creepy as he was when he was alive.

Jake: [Chuckles] You saying he’s a–a zombie? That’s crazy, right?

Nick: Isn’t it just?

[Laughs] You should’ve left well enough alone because now… we’re gonna have to do this all over again. Hi sabrina!

Nicole: Ava’s being questioned about a murder? Why?

Rafe: Well, after I left you at the hospital, I went home, and I found carmine merlino dead on my kitchen floor.

Nicole: Isn’t that the man suspected of shooting abe?

Rafe: Yep, that’s the one, and from what I can gather, ava’s been hiding him.

Nicole: In your house?

Rafe: Yep, apparently so. She thought it was okay to put me and my family at risk to hide the guy who nearly killed abe.

Nicole: You think she might have killed that guy?

Rafe: Uh, you know, honestly, I don’t know, but like I said before, there is definitely a connection between ava and carmine.

Nicole: And you’re wondering if she might be reverting to her old ways.

Rafe: Yeah, yeah. And according to gabi, ava hooked philip up with merlino to get dirt on jake so as to blackmail gabi and take over gabichic.

Nicole: I can’t believe she would do that.

Rafe: No, you’re right. Neither can I. You know, and for weeks, she’s been going out of her way to be nice to gabi, and I– you know, this whole time, she’s been plotting to take over her company with philip.

Nicole: I am so sorry.

Rafe: Yeah. Yeah, so am I. Yeah, it looks like I’ve been played for the fool. So…apparently ava hasn’t been honest with me for a very, very long time.

Ava: For the hundredth time, I did not murder carmine. Charlie did. And this isn’t just about me. This is about keeping everyone in this town safe.

Shawn: What do you mean?

Ava: Charlie, he is on the loose, and he wants henry back. He could be going after allie as we speak.

Tripp: You know, you’re such a loser, you know that? You were a loser when you were alive, and now you’re just a loser as a zombie.

Charlie: Shut the hell up.

Tripp: You’re not even scary. You’re just pathetic.

Allie: Tripp, don’t make it worse.

Charlie: Better listen to your little girlfriend ’cause by the time I’m done with you–

Tripp: Bring it, then. Come on, at least you’ll be picking on somebody your own size instead of allie.

Charlie: Instead of who, allie? Oh, poor, innocent allie, she wanted it that night. She’s never gonna admit it, but she did.

Tripp: Shut the hell up–

Charlie: Or what, you’re gonna kill me? I’m already dead, and that’s your fault.

Tripp: I’m not the one who put a bullet in you.

Charlie: You were there the night that jan shot me. You knocked on the door. You called my name. I heard you, and what’d you do? You just walked away.

Tripp: I didn’t know you were inside.

Charlie: You didn’t know I wasn’T. You could’ve busted down the door. You could’ve called an ambulance. If you did, I’d still be alive. You know what? I’m glad you didn’t try to rescue me ’cause then jan would’ve had the pleasure of killing you, and now, that pleasure is mine.

Allie: No.

Charlie: What better way to pay you back for the hell that you made my life than to take you back down to hell with me?

Allie: No, no, no!

Gabi: How the hell? You came back from the dead, but you are not going anywhere near jake.

Nick: I told you, sweet cheeks, it’s called payback.

Gabi: No, please let it go. Please, nick. Nick, just let it go.

Nick: Gabi, just calm down.

Gabi: [Yelps]

Nick: Gabi, gabi, are you– are you okay?

Gabi: I want to go home.

Nick: Okay. Well, where is home? You know? I’ll make you feel better.

Gabi: No–

Nick: You’ve told me so many times how much you love it, the way I make you feel.

Gabi: Nick, you’re scaring me.

Nick: Don’t be scared. Just let me help you remember why we’re so good together.

Gabi: No, no, no.

Nick: You kill me…

Gabi: Stop it!

[Gasping]

Nick: [Grunts, thuds]

Gabi: [Panting]

Nick: I kill the man you love, even steven. Now, get out of my way.

Jake: Don’t you touch–

[Groans]

Nick: [Chuckles] Says the guy who can barely stand.

Gabi: Leave him alone, nick.

[Yelps]

Jake: No!

Nick: Oops.

Jake: You bastard.

[Grunts]

Nick: You’re hard to kill. But you know what they say, “if at first you don’t succeed, try a stake through the heart.”

Jake: Stake?

[Grunts] I think you’re… a bit confused, pal. I’m not the undead one.

Nick: True. But I think it’ll still get the job done. Might be overkill but…

[Laughs] Whatever it takes.

[Metallic clang] Charmin ultra soft has so much cushiony softness,

Allie: Charlie, no!

[Both grunting]

[Metallic clang]

Charlie: Ow! Ah, you bitch.

Allie: I should’ve done that a long time ago.

Charlie: You’ll regret that.

Tripp: [Grunts]

Charlie: [Grunts]

[Both struggling]

Allie: Tripp, be careful.

Tripp: It’s over!

[Breathing heavily]

Charlie: You think you won, don’t you? You have our mom, my son, you even got the girl. But guess what, big brother? You can play house all you want, but deep down you know she’s always gonna be damaged goods. All you got was my sloppy seconds.

Tripp: [Grunts]

[Both struggling]

Allie: Tripp! Tripp!

Gabi: He’s dead.

Jake: Didn’t know zombies had a heartbeat.

Gabi: Yeah, well, nick didn’t have a heart when he was alive, so same difference.

[Thudding] Yep, he’s dead. Hopefully for good this time.

Jake: Thanks for killing him before he could kill me.

Gabi: I already killed nick twice. I guess he was right. Third time really is the charm. All right, should we put him back where he belongs?

Jake: Yeah, I think that’s a good idea.

Gabi: Can you stand? I can help you.

Jake: Please.

[Groans]

Jake: Well, one undead, dead again.

[Grunts] Whoo, so… since we’ve established that you’ve already put this maniac out of his misery three times, how do you explain how the hell he got out of here tonight? Climbed out of this grave?

Gabi: Jake, I have no clue, and honestly I don’t even think I want to find out.

Eli: Well, I’d like to talk to jake, but he busted out of jail tonight and is still at large.

Philip: On your watch, detective? Higher-ups couldn’t be too pleased about that. Any leads?

Eli: He may have had help.

Philip: Let me guess. You mean gabi.

Eli: I mean… he may have had help.

Philip: So gabi busts her mobster boyfriend out of the slammer. I knew those two were bad news. Glad I fired him. But I’m a little confused, detective. Shouldn’t you be out hunting salem’s own bonnie and clyde instead of harassing innocent citizens?

Philip: The innocent part is still up for debate. I’ve got to get back to the station.

Philip: So we’re done?

Eli: For tonight, but I may have more questions, so–

Philip: “Don’t leave town?” Don’t worry. This isn’t my first rodeo. If you need me, you know where I’ll be. Feel free to take some candy for the road.

Nicole: I knew ava and gabi didn’t get along, but for ava to help philip steal gabi’s company– that company means everything to her.

Rafe: Yeah, well, you know, don’t go feeling too sorry for gabi because it turns out she’s not exactly on the straight-and-narrow, either.

Nicole: What do you mean?

Rafe: Well, jake broke out of jail tonight, and it looks like gabi may have helped him.

Nicole: That’s–

Rafe: Yeah, nuts, right? Yeah, exactly. I thought I was gonna spend tonight confiscating toilet paper and shaving cream.

Nicole: Oh, and then–then i call you over here to deal with A… pair of scissors.

Rafe: Well, it wasn’t just a pair of scissors. You were obviously very shaken up.

Nicole: Over nothing. I’m sorry, again.

Rafe: No, no, stop. Stop it. Stop, okay? Stop apologizing. It’s okay.

Nicole: No.

Rafe: No, I’m glad I was here. I was worried about you.

Nicole: Well, I–I’m fine. I–I’m fine, so… you should go and solve the case.

Rafe: Yeah, you know, actually eli is working the investigation because, you know, between gabi and ava, I’m a little too close to it, you know? Anyway, I’m glad that I’m here because, you know, on a night like tonight and all that craziness out there, right, I don’t want to leave you alone.

Nicole: Well, I’m–I’m I’m not alone. I’ve got–I’ve got duke.

Rafe: Yeah.

Nicole: And he’s awesome company, he’s always there when you need him.

Rafe: Well, what if I want to be the one who’s there when you need him? Nyquil severe gives you powerful relief

Nicole: You wanna be there for me? But you are. You always have been. We’re friends.

Rafe: Yeah, well… maybe I’m jealous of all the time you spend with duke.

Nicole: But we agreed.

Rafe: Yeah. I know what we agreed. We agreed we were gonna stay away from each other so that I could give my relationship with ava a chance. That’s not working for me anymore.

Nicole: But what about you and ava?

Rafe: After what’s happened tonight, I don’t– I don’t know if there is a me and ava.

Nicole: But you haven’t even talked. I mean, maybe there’s an explanation.

Rafe: For screwing over my sister, finding a dead guy on my kitchen floor? I’ve tried with ava. I have. I’ve– I’ve given her the benefit of the doubt. I’ve defended her to my sister. I’ve avoided you, you know. I’ve pretended that a bench and a doughnut and a bad coffee at the hospital was enough. It’s not. It’s just not because every time I see you, I just want…

Nicole: You just… want to what?

Shawn: Do you remember when charlie drugged you, and you were seeing people who weren’t actually there? And you thought– you thought that charlie– charlie killed tripp.

Ava: Yeah. Tripp said the same thing. He thought it might be an aftereffect of the drug.

Ava: Okay, so it is possible that maybe–

Ava: No, no, because charlie wasn’t a hallucination, okay? If he was, carmine wouldn’t actually be dead.

Shawn: Unless, you–

Ava: Okay, just stop it. Please, just stop. You know what? I would like to speak to someone who is actually going to listen.

Shawn: Do you want a lawyer?

Ava: No, I want rafe.

Shawn: I’m sorry, but he’s not here right now.

Shawn: Well, kinda figured that one, detective, but, um, I do believe that I am entitled to a phone call.

Shawn: Okay, yes, you are. I’ll call him for you. How’s that?

[Line ringing]

[Phone buzzing]

[Line ringing]

Shawn: Yeah, he’s not picking up. Rafe, hey, it’s shawn. Listen, I’m down at the station right now with ava. Can you– can you give me a call when you get this? Um, she wants to talk to you, and she’s saying that, uh– you know what, just– just give me a call when you get this, all right?

Allie: Tripp, enough. Hey–

Tripp: Son of a bitch.

Allie: Hey. Enough, okay? He can’t hurt me anymore.

Tripp: Alive, dead, undead, my brother is never gonna hurt you again, okay? I’ll make sure of that. All right? Do you hear me?

[Dramatic music]

Jake: What do you say we rebury him?

Gabi: Oh, I’ve dug up enough dirt for one night. And I don’t want to stay around here and wait for somebody else to get reanimated.

Jake: Yeah. I’m ready to get the hell out of here, too.

Gabi: Hey, jake, you were just dead. We should get you to a hospital.

Jake: Yes, I may be very much alive but… I’m also an escaped prisoner.

Gabi: You did not escape and you did nothing wrong.

Jake: Still, I need to set things straight with the cops, and as much as I’d like to get you home, get you to bed, I’ve gotta get back to jail. Serena: It’s my 3:10

Shawn: Look, I’m sorry. Rafe didn’t pick up.

Ava: Okay, will you call him again? Please, you have to–

Shawn: Look, obviously he’s busy, ava.

Ava: Okay, well, so if he doesn’t call back in a few minutes, just call him again.

Shawn: Listen, I’ve got places I need to be right now–

Ava: Please, will you please?

Shawn: Listen, you know what? I keep my phone on me at all times. I know when rafe gets his message, he’s going to call me back, and as soon as he does, I will let you know, all right?

Eli: Shawn, did you get anything out of ava?

Shawn: Nope. She’s sticking to her “my dead son did it” story.

Eli: Got to give it to her, it’s a new one.

Shawn: Yeah, any news on jake dimera?

Eli: No, we’ve got units combing through the city. No luck. He’s still at large– what the hell?

Shawn: Speak of the devil.

Gabi: Look, I know what you’re thinking but we can explain.

Shawn: About how you busted jake out of here?

Gabi: That is not how that happened.

Eli: I would love to hear how it did happen. Every single detail. Who’s going first?

Jake: Don’t blame gabi. She had nothing to do with my escape. I did this all on my own.

Tripp: You know when I said I wanted to do one of those ghost tours on halloween? Yeah, I’m over it.

Allie: Charlie couldn’t have just disappeared. I mean, where is he?

Tripp: I have no idea.

Allie: But that–I mean, that just happened, right? That was real, wasn’t it?

Tripp: I–I don’t know what the hell is going on, but it’s not just us, okay? My mom saw him, too.

Allie: That’s why she called you?

Tripp: Yeah, apparently charlie killed somebody right in front of her and came after her with a knife. She freaked out and barely escaped.

Allie: Oh, my god.

Tripp: When she first told me about it, I didn’t believe her. I just blew it off. I thought it was just some aftereffect of the drugs charlie gave her, but when I saw him with you, I–

Allie: That was no aftereffect. How did you even know to show up?

Tripp: Mom was afraid that charlie would go after you, and even if it turned out to be all in her head, I couldn’t take that chance ’cause the just the thought of that– of that maniac being anywhere near you or henry. Thank god the little guy’s with roman.

Allie: What if you didn’t show up? Oh, what if charlie had taken henry?

Tripp: Hey, hey, hey, hey. Hey, hey, but he didn’t, okay? It’s okay, it’s okay. He didn’T. You’re safe, and henry’s safe, okay?

Allie: Because of you.

Tripp: Hey. The only reason I’m still breathing is because you’re pretty good with the frying pans. Thank you.

Allie: When I saw charlie’s hands around your neck–

Tripp: It’s okay. It’s all right, it’s all right. It’s okay. Are you okay? What?

Allie: I… I love you.

Tripp: Don’t say that.

Allie: No, I want to say it. Because it’s true. I love you, tripp johnson.

[Gentle music]

Nicole: Oh, duke. I should really get rid of you. We both kn that. But I’m not doing that. And why is that? And why am I talking to a stuffed bear?

[Scoffs]

Deimos: You know what they say: Talking to yourself, it’s the first sign of insanity.

Nicole: [Screams]

[Dramatic music]

Nicole: Deimos.

Deimos: Aw, you remembered.

Nicole: But… you’re dead.

Deimos: Yes, I am. You murdered me. And yet here I am. I must say, nicole, you haven’t changed a bit. Have I?

Nicole: Why– why are you here?

Deimos: Because you and i have some unfinished business.

Gabi: Nick?

Nick: Not quite in the flesh but close enough.

Gabi: No.

Nick: Tell me, gabi, have you missed me? Missed my arms around you?

Gabi: [Screams]

Nick: I missed the sound of your voice. Ever soft, gentle, and low. An excellent thing in a woman.

Gabi: I’m–I’m dreaming. I’m dreaming.

Nick: Of having your beloved husband back? Of this moment?

Gabi: It’s because I told jake about you.

Nick: Did you tell him about your first husband? Your first love?

Gabi: [Screams] No, no, no. You–you don’t matter. You are not here. I don’t think about you. I don’t ever say your name.

Nick: Really? You sure you don’t dream about me? I don’t haunt your dreams?

Gabi: Uh-uh. No, no. I–I told jake about you and that’s why I’m dreaming about you. I just have to wake up.

Nick: Sorry, babe. This isn’t a dream. It’s your worst nightmare.

Eli: Rafe, what’s up?

Rafe: Yeah, I’ve got a possible homicide on my hands and I need you and the forensics team on it right away.

Eli: Where’s the body?

Rafe: My kitchen floor.

Tripp: Okay, tell me– tell me what’s going on.

Ava: You– you won’t believe me.

Tripp: Just–just tell me.

Ava: I– I saw your brother.

Tripp: Charlie’s dead, mom. You know this.

Ava: No. I saw him. He came for me.

Tripp: Okay, you need to calm down.

Ava: No, listen to me. I saw him. I am not crazy, okay? He came–he came to rafe’s house. He found me. He killed someone right in front of me.

Charlie: You’re not getting rid of me that easily. Not this time.

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

[Soft orchestration]

Ava: Tripp, tripp, you have to believe me. I saw charlie stab him. He killed him.

Tripp: Charlie’s dead, mom. You know this.

Ava: No, he isn’T. He is alive. You know, maybe he isn’t alive, okay? But he is back and he found me at rafe’s house.

Tripp: Okay, okay, you’re really upset and you thought you saw him, but that’s not possible.

Ava: Okay, listen to me. Tripp, I saw him. He killed a man.

Tripp: What–what man? What are you talking about?

Ava: Okay.

[Stammering] There was–he was– I don’t know. I don’t know. I don’t know who the man was. But–but he stabbed him. He killed him. Tripp, I watched him do it.

Tripp: Okay, okay, all right. Mom, this isn’t making any sense. The man, does rafe know him?

Ava: No, no. Rafe–rafe, he wasn’t there. He–he didn’t see anything. Oh, my god, tripp. Tripp, I was so scared because– because after charlie stabbed– after he stabbed him, he said that he was– he was undead. And then he talked about the night that he died. And–and he said how– how when I told him that I loved him, that I didn’t mean it and that I was lying. And that I never– that I never ever loved him.

Tripp: Okay, mom, I think we should go to the hospital.

Ava: No! Okay, I am not crazy. He said that I never loved him and I never would because he would never be you, okay? And then– and then he looked at me. He looked at me in some bizarre way, and then– and then he grabbed– he grabbed another knife. And said he was going to kill me. And he was so calm about it that I knew he meant it. So I pushed him and I ran. And that is when I called you.

Tripp: Okay, mom, let’s– let’s go.

Ava: Okay, no. No, tripp, we need to run away, okay? We have to run away because don’t you see? He is not only gonna kill me. He is gonna kill you, too.

Allie: Whoever you are, this is sick.

Charlie: Allie, you know who I am. I’m your old friend charlie.

Allie: No, charlie’s dead and it’s–it’s sick for you to put this ridiculous mask on and come here.

Charlie: I had to come. I had to see you again.

Allie: Who are you? Why are you doing this to me?

Charlie: Do you really think this is a mask? You think I’m kristen dimera out trick-or-treating?

Allie: Go away!

Charlie: Fine. Figure it out for yourself. Pull it off. See who it is who hates you so much. Go ahead.

Allie: [Gasps]

Charlie: [Laughs] Now you know who hates you so much. Charlie hates you so much.

Allie: You’re dead.

Charlie: Yeah, that’s what they keep telling me. Everybody keeps saying that. But you know what? You can’t keep a good man down. Technically, I–I think I am. But, you know, I hate labels. I think I’m gonna identify as undead now.

Allie: Go away.

Charlie: That’s not gonna happen.

Allie: Don’t touch me.

Charlie: Oh, don’t worry. Your virtue isn’t at risk. I didn’t come here to party. I’m on a mission. I–I think you know why I’m here.

Allie: No.

Charlie: Yes. I came here for my son.

Gabi: It can’t be. I killed you.

Nick: Sorry, which time are you talking about? The–the first time where you– you bashed my head in with a rock? That time?

Gabi: I had to, I had to. No, stop, you’re hurting me!

Nick: I would never hurt you. Look at me.

Gabi: No!

Nick: You love me. Just tell me how much.

Gabi: No! Stop it!

[Gasping]

Nick: [Groans, thuds]

Gabi: [Gasping]

[Breathing heavily]

Nick: So there you were with a dead body on your hands. So you called your friends, sami and kate. You guys decided to toss me in the river. Great plan. Only one small, small, tiny little problem.

[Whispers] I wasn’t dead. I came back, didn’t I? Just like I’m back now.

Deimos: Nicole, nicole, nicole. [Chuckles] You look lovely as always. I will never forget how absolutely radiant you were in red the night you killed me.

Nicole: Dr. Rolf. Dr. Rolf brought you back?

Deimos: [Chuckles] No, no, no, no. The one who brought me back is a hell of a lot more powerful than dr. Rolf. And quite a bit more evil.

Nicole: Who?

Deimos: Well, I’m sorry, at the moment that information is classified. I may have said too much already. But then again, you always had a way of getting me to open up, to drop my guard. Do you remember how much I opened up my soul to you?

Nicole: Oh, you didn’t have one.

Deimos: You know, I’ve often thought–you know, because when you’re dead, you actually have a lot of time for reflection. So I have often thought that it was really ironic that the woman I wanted to spend the rest of my life with, ended it. In cold blood. No remorse. That just didn’t sit well with me, nicole. So I came here to tell you that I still hold a grudge. Serena: It’s my 3:10

Nicole: I did not murder you in cold blood.

Deimos: Oh, sweetheart. I was there, remember? Victim and eyewitness. I was totally defenseless and you stabbed me in the heart!

Deimos: [Chuckles] Well, well, well. Look who we have here.

Nicole: Stay away from me.

Deimos: I was really sorry to hear what happened to holly. How you lost her.

Nicole: How did you know about that?

Deimos: I’m the one who made it happen.

Nicole: You– you made it happen?

Deimos: All it took was one more corrupt judge. Lucky for me, huh?

Nicole: Wait, are you saying–

Deimos: Just like the first time. Only that time, I was on your side.

Nicole: My side?

Deimos: Come on, nicole. You remember that, don’t you? When I was in love with you?

Nicole: You made sure the judge–

Deimos: That’s right. And believe me, it really wasn’t that difficult. I mean, come on, is there really anyone more unfit to be a mother than you?

Nicole: Oh, my god.

Deimos: I think it’s time for daddy to go pick up his little girl at the foster home. And I cannot wait to see her get excited to see me.

Nicole: No. No!

Deimos: Daddy’s little girl, that’s what she’s gonna be. I mean, come on, you know me, nicole, I am gonna spoil that kid rotten.

Nicole: No! She is my daughter, not yours, you sick bastard.

Deimos: Wow, look at this. Looks like I touched a nerve, huh?

Nicole: I’ll never let you take my daughter. Do you hear me? I will never– I will never–

Deimos: Oh, come on. Really? Come on.

Nicole: [Sobbing]

[Knife thuds]

Deimos: [Gasps]

Deimos: Strolling down memory lane, are you? Remembering how you plunged that knife into my chest? Deep into the chest of an innocent, unarmed man.

Nicole: Innocent? You broke the laws of man and god in order to take my daughter. She was innocent. She was defenseless and you used her like a pawn to get what you wanted. And what you wanted was depraved. I didn’t murder you. I put you down like a rabid dog.

Deimos: You played god. And up until now you thought you got away with it. I think they call that a fool’s paradise. But it’s over. Because now you’re face to face with the man who knows that you’re nothing more than a murdering whore. And a man who also knows that you were never even charged, let alone punished for what you did. But that all ends tonight. And I guarantee you, nicole, the punishment is gonna fit the crime.

Eli: Jeez.

Rafe: Yeah.

Eli: What have we got?

Rafe: The victim’s name’s carmine merlino. Same guy that shot abe.

Eli: Do we know who killed him?

Rafe: No. I just came home, found him dead on my kitchen floor.

Gabi: And I told you yesterday that carmine’s mob boss is none other than your precious ava. So if you want answers, why don’t you talk to her?

Eli: Oh, I know that look. You know something, don’t you?

Rafe: Yeah. Yeah, I do.

Ava: Don’t you see? Don’t you see? We have to get out of here. We have to get out of salem because charlie’s not going to stop until he gets the both of us.

Tripp: Mom, he’s dead.

Ava: No. He is back. I saw him.

Tripp: And there’s a good reason for that, okay? But you need to calm down and listen to me, as a doctor. All right, this is just like what happened to you when charlie drugged you.

Ava: What?

Tripp: Remember? You thought you saw charlie kill me and then you thought you saw dad carrying me out to bury me.

Ava: I was not drugged tonight.

Tripp: It doesn’t matter, okay? All right, people who have taken hallucinogens like the ones charlie gave you can have hallucinations for years to come. There’s medical documentation that shows that those drugs can result in serious residual effects including flashbacks and delusions. Like what happened to you tonight. The drug stays in your body for a long time.

Ava: Okay, tripp, listen to me. I remember the delusions back then, okay? Tonight was not like that. Tonight– tonight was real. It was like I could reach out and I could touch him. Oh, my god.

Tripp: What?

Ava: Allie, allie. We need to call allie. We need to warn her. We need to tell her to grab henry and run.

Allie: Don’t say that you’re henry’s father. You’re not.

Charlie: You can’t have it both ways, allie. You can’t accuse me of raping you and say henry isn’t mine.

Allie: What you did to me has nothing to do with being a father. You don’t even know him.

Charlie: Because of you! You told everyone that I was a rapist. Everyone wanted me dead. I died without ever even knowing who my son was. But now I’m back. And you can’t stop me. You did everything you could to keep me away from him. Now I’m gonna take him away from you.

Allie: No.

Charlie: Get the hell out of my way.

Julie: [Shouts] You scared me to death.

Kate: Hm, yet you’re still standing.

Julie: It’s a figure of speech. Well, kate, I don’t know if you’re coming by for a late night snack and a martini. I’ve completely forgotten what you order. But you’re out of luck. We’re closed.

Kate: I can see that. But I’m glad you’re still here because actually, I came to see you.

Julie: Really? Why?

Kate: I was going to call but I have a feeling that you wouldn’t pick up when you saw it was me. And I wanted to invite you to thanksgiving.

Julie: Oh, really? And what were you expecting me to bring? A poisoned pumpkin pie perhaps?

Kate: Well, actually, I was pretty sure that you wouldn’t accept. So it was a fairly painless way for me to extend myself.

Julie: Isn’t that how you always extend yourself, kate?

Kate: You know, julie, all joking aside, I’m genuinely sorry for doug’s situation.

Julie: Thank you very much. But I’m sure you didn’t come here just to say that.

Kate: No, actually, I didn’T. I came here to tell you that your cousin, nick fallon, is back from the dead.

Nick: You nearly jumped out of your skin when I showed up very much alive in that church. I mean, god, the hypocrisy! A gay and a murderess having their kid baptized.

[Laughs]

Gabi: I wasn’t a murderess because you weren’t dead yet. But you know what? I should’ve hit you three or four times with that rock because the world is a much better place without you.

Nick: But you made sure you killed me the second time around.

Gabi: For trying to take ari and me away from everyone we loved.

Nick: No. No excuses. It was premeditated murder, gabi. You even admitted it.

Gabi: Then I got the gun out of the closet and loaded it. I found the silencer there with it so I put that on. Then I stuck it inside the diaper bag.

Nick: You confessed. You gave a statement to the police.

Gabi: I served time. I paid my debt to society.

Nick: I don’t give a crap about society. I’m talking about your debt to me. You shot me three times and then got off on a technicality.

Gabi: I paid, first in prison and then, when I got out, your bitch cousin, julie, made sure that I kept paying for the rest of my life.

Nick: Not enough. Not nearly enough. Well, as you can see, I survived the second time you murdered me, too. And now I’m back and I am going to make you pay. What’s that expression they say? Oh, yeah. Third time’s a charm.

[ Crow squawks ]

Charlie: You bitch!

Allie: Please, god, please.

Charlie: You knew he wasn’t in there. Give me that. Fun and games are over, allie. You’re gonna tell me where the hell my son is.

Tripp: It’s okay. It’s okay. Henry’s inside the pub with roman and lucas.

Ava: Call allie.

Tripp: No. Mom, I’m not gonna scare her for no reason, okay? Charlie’s dead, mom. You watched him die. You don’t have to worry about him anymore. He can’t hurt you.

Ava: I saw him.

Tripp: You thought you saw him. I have already explained that to you. All right, now– if you won’t go to the hospital, I’m gonna take you home.

Ava: No, you’re not. We are not going home because there is a dead body there.

Tripp: I promise you, there isn’T. I’ll–I’ll go with you. I’ll prove it to you, okay?

Eli: Rafe?

Rafe: [Sighs] Right, okay. Look, what you need to know is there’s a possibility that ava is involved in this.

Eli: Okay.

Rafe: We’ll know more when we get the time of death. But, um, I think that we’re gonna find that gabi was with jake at the station when he was murdered and ava was the only one who was here.

Eli: Right. And?

Rafe: And when david was running the vitali crime family, carmine worked for her.

Eli: You–you think he came here to see her?

Rafe: Well, I don’t think he came here to see me. You know, my guess is that he probably knew that jake was in custody, so he came here to see ava. And gabi said she thinks that ava’s the one who helped merlino get away when he shot abe.

Eli: Rafe, you need to hand over this case to me.

Rafe: I–I know, okay? I know. But listen to me. I’m just going on what gabi said to me, and it wouldn’t be the first time that she has fed me a load of crap. Not to mention, ava said that she was out of the mob. So you know, she could be jerking me around too. I mean, what a– what a great domestic situation I’m in, right?

[Phone rings[

Eli: You know you’re gonna have to make a statement, right?

Rafe: Yeah, I know. Great, I’m sure this is more good news. Hernandez. Son of a bitch! Okay.

Eli: What is it?

Rafe: Jake dimera escaped lock-up. Oh, my god, what has gabi done this time?

Gabi: Are you gonna kill me?

Nick: Hm. Mm, no. That would be too easy. I decided that if the opportunity ever rose from the dead, so to speak, that I didn’t want you to die. I wanted you to suffer. And to that end, I decided to kill your boyfriend.

[Laughs]

Gabi: Jake?

Nick: Yeah, jake. Your beloved jake. Oh, wow, gabi, I mean, what a loser that guy is. I mean, you’re really rolling around at the bottom of the barrel there.

Gabi: Please, he’s never done anything to you. I’m the one that you hate.

Nick: Yeah, I think of it more like collateral damage. Because his death would be the gift that keeps on giving. You would live the rest of your life knowing that his blood is on your hands.

Gabi: Please, please, please, I’m begging you, please don’t kill him. Please don’T.

Nick: Oh, gabi. What if it’s already too late?

Nicole: [Gasps] Don’t come any closer.

Deimos: And what are you gonna do, huh? You gonna kill me again? Go ahead. Do your worst.

Nicole: [Screams]

Deimos: [Breathing heavily] Charmin ultra soft has so much cushiony softness,

Deimos: You little bitch!

Nicole: [Screams]

[Choking]

[Coughs and gasps]

Rafe: So when jake and the cop who was taking him back to his cell didn’t show up, they did a search and they found the cop knocked out cold and jake nowhere to be found.

Eli: That was a stupid ass thing for jake to do.

Rafe: If it was jake.

Eli: You don’t think it was him?

Rafe: Well, it doesn’t make any sense. He was cooperating. He gave a full confession. He even seemed guilty that his gun was used to shoot abe. He just–you know, I–I talked to him. I asked him to be patient, that things would sort themselves out and he seemed to agree.

Eli: But not gabi?

Rafe: Well, I told her to be patient. Like that would ever work.

Eli: All right. You think gabi would take matters into her own hands?

Rafe: Well, I’m about to find out. God, what a night.

Julie: What do you mean nick is back from the dead?

Kate: Well, two trick-or-treaters at the pub said they saw him tonight.

Julie: And that’s what– think, kate. A couple of trick-or-treaters saw a couple of other trick-or-treaters and one of them must have been dressed like nick.

Kate: Well, that would presuppose that they’re selling nick fallon halloween costumes this year.

Julie: You know what I mean.

Kate: Ah, well, maybe you’re right. I mean, what kid wouldn’t want to dress up like a psycho killer, right?

Julie: Nick was not a psycho killer.

Kate: Don’t get defensive.

Julie: Kate, for once in your life, instead of being hurtful and nasty, why don’t you try showing a little empathy for a young man who had a very difficult life and was traumatized by what happened to him in prison.

Kate: Right. Then he set out to traumatize gabi hernandez in exactly the same way.

Julie: Well, gabi got her revenge, didn’t she? Shot him three times. You may not recall but I remember very clearly because he died in my arms.

Kate: Allegedly.

Gabi: What do you mean, “it’s too late”?

Nick: Well, what it means is that after I rose up out of my grave, which by the way, you really should’ve seen it. It would have knocked your socks off. Anyway, then I–I went down to the police station.

Gabi: Why?

Nick: To find the boyfriend, of course.

Gabi: How did you know he was there?

Nick: Oh, see the undead have this sort of, um, telepathic gps system. Anyway, aren’t you getting caught up in little details? Don’t you want to know what happened? What I did? Not which bus I took to get there?

Gabi: What happened?

Nick: Well, I got down to the station and your boyfriend was being escorted to a cell. I intercepted him.

Gabi: And what did you do?

Nick: Well, as a recent acquaintance of mine once said–really funny guy– “if it were done “when ’tis done, “then ’twere well it was done quickly.”

Gabi: Oh, my god. Did you already kill him?

Allie: I will never tell you where henry is.

Charlie: Not willingly.

Allie: You will never again be in the same room as my son.

Charlie: My son!

Allie: Not in any way that matters.

Charlie: Who’s the father then, huh? Tripp? The two of you. Oh, classic love story. Boy meets girl, girl falsely accuses boy of rape.

Allie: Tripp knows why I did that. It’s because you screwed me up by what you did to me. Hell, everybody knows that it was you. Hey, charlie, did you notice how few people attended your funeral? Did you know that I didn’t? I was afraid that I’d be fined for excessive celebration.

Ava: I told you. I told you there was a dead body. You didn’t believe me. I was telling the truth.

Tripp: I’m sorry. I just thought that– eli, what happened?

Eli: There’s been a homicide.

Tripp: Who was it?

Eli: Carmine merlino. He was the man who shot abe. Ms. Vitali, I’m sorry, but I gotta take you down to the station for questioning. Turns out deb’s constipation with belly pain

[Eerie music]

Nicole: Rafe. I gotta call rafe.

[Line ringing]

Allie: You know how you’re always whining about how mommy loves tripp best?

Charlie: Stop it.

Allie: Well, she does. Of course she does. Because as dumb and creepy as you are, that’s how cool and smart he is.

Charlie: Stop talking about tripp!

Allie: You brought him up. You always bring him up.

Charlie: Shut up.

Allie: Imagine having a mother who has two sons and one of them is everything a mother could ever want and the other one is the definition of “loser.”

Charlie: I said shut up!

Tripp: Why do you need to question my mom?

Eli: The deceased was a former associate of hers. He worked for her when she was in charge of the vitali mob.

Tripp: You said that–

Eli: She–she said that what, tripp?

Ava: I didn’t kill him. It was charlie. I saw him.

Eli: Who’s charlie?

Ava: My son. He killed carmine. I saw it.

Eli: Ms. Vitali, charlie is dead.

Ava: Rafe. I need to talk to rafe.

Rafe: So you say you saw my sister say goodbye to jake. Okay, did you actually see her leave?

Cop: She came out of the interrogation room and maxwell and i went in to get dimera. She wasn’t here when we brought him out.

Rafe: Okay. And then maxwell took him down.

Cop: And I started the paperwork.

Rafe: And he was cuffed?

Cop: It’s procedure, isn’t it?

Rafe: Okay, yet somehow, jake still managed to hit maxwell over the head and escape? Did you happen to see where he went?

Cop: No.

Rafe: Right. Right, my sister’s not answering my calls. What the hell is going on?

Gabi: Did you kill jake? Tell me!

Nick: Let me put it to you this way. I happened to have an empty grave at my disposal. And I figured I might as well put it to good use. It’s my woke-up-like-this migraine medicine.

Julie: Allegedly? Where do you get your news, kate? I was holding him. I–I–I felt the life draining out of him.

Kate: Yes, of course you did and that had to have been terribly painful for you.

Julie: Are you mocking me?

Kate: No, not at all. And–although I do agree that it’s probably not true that nick has been restored to life, you do have to admit he cheated death once before.

Julie: Oh, when you and gabi and sami tried to drown him in the river. Talk about the three witches from macbeth.

Kate: Hmm, yeah. Well, he did manage to crawl back out of the water, didn’t he? But I think it is highly unlikely that he managed to crawl out of the grave after being shot three times. Although…

Julie: Although what?

Kate: Although, I mean, not to brag about it or anything, but I did manage to do that. So, who knows? Maybe he managed to pull off the same trick. Anyway, I need to get going. Happy halloween.

Gabi: You buried him?

Nick: Well, I think of it more like a sublet.

Gabi: Dead or alive?

Nick: Why don’t you ask him?

Gabi: Ah!

Nick: Gosh… I hope she’s not too late.

[Phone ringing]

Rafe: Nicole, this isn’t a good time.

Nicole: I need you, rafe. Now.

Rafe: Okay, what is it?

Nicole: I’m in my office. It’s an emergency.

Eli: Rafe’s at the station. You can talk to him there.

Tripp: Okay, if she’s going down to the station, then I’m coming with her.

Ava: No. Tripp… if the police aren’t going to look for charlie, you have to.

Tripp: Mom.

Ava: I told you there was a dead body here and there was a body here. Charlie was here. Okay, I know that you said that everything’s safe, okay? But I have this awful feeling about allie.

Tripp: Mom, I can’t just leave you alone.

Ava: Just go check, okay? I mean, what–what does it hurt? Prove me wrong. Prove me crazy. I mean, you love her, tripp. What do you lose by checking? Because if you don’t, and something happens to her, you are gonna regret it for the rest of your life.

Charlie: You know what? You think you are so smart. You thought that if you talked about tripp that I would get crazy and I would forget about henry. But you know what? You’re not smart. I saw right through it. Now I’m going to ask you one more time. Where is my son?

Allie: I will never tell you where he is.

Charlie: You know what? I see that. Nothing that I can do will get you to tell me.

Allie: Right.

Charlie: So I’m just gonna have to find him solo.

Allie: Well, he’s not here.

Charlie: Hmm, you trying to send me on my way? As soon as I leave, you’ll call whoever has him? Or you’ll call the police. And I can’t let that happen. So, I’m sad to say, allie, I’m gonna have to kill you.

Trelegy for copd.

Gabi: Jake! Jake! Jake, no! Jake!

[Gasping frantically]

Nicole: Oh, god.

Rafe: This had better be good.

Nicole: Listen, deimos– deimos was here.

Rafe: What?

Nicole: He came back to get me and I killed him. Rafe, I stabbed him with a pair of scissors.

Rafe: Damn it, nicole, deimos kiriakis is dead.

Nicole: No, he is in there. Dead on the floor with a pair of scissors in his chest. Go look for yourself.

Rafe: Nicole, you need to come in here.

[Dramatic music]

Eli: You have the right to have an attorney present–

Ava: I don’t need a lawyer. I need you to listen to me. Okay? Charlie is back. He came back, he killed carmine, and then he was going to kill me.

Eli: Maybe what you need is a doctor.

Ava: Okay, I am begging you. Please, send someone to help tripp. I am telling you the truth. I swear to god, I am telling the truth.

Tripp: Allie! Get the hell away from her.

Update written by Joseph

Belle wakes up and tells Shawn that she just had a nightmare that Marlena was possessed by the Devil again.

Ben and Ciara talk at home about being pregnant. Ciara says she knew it was possible but it still felt like a one in a million chance.

Xander goes to the interrogation room and asks Melinda where his money is. Melinda places the briefcase on the table. Xander warns that there would be hell to pay if it’s not all there. Melinda then stops him by slamming the briefcase shut and informs him that he won’t be spending a penny of this, because he’s giving the money to her or else she will blow Gwen’s life sky high. Xander does not take kindly to anyone threatening the people he cares about. Melinda claims she’s not threatening anyone but as district attorney, she has a duty to expose the truth. Melinda reveals that she knows Gwen’s dirty little secret.

Jack questions what Abigail is so angry about. Abigail tells him that it’s Gwen. Jack thought Abigail accepted Gwen’s apology. Abigail responds that she’s here to take it back because she now knows that Gwen has been lying through her teeth again about losing her baby as it turns out she didn’t have anything to do with it.

Ben and Ciara talk about Ciara getting pregnant right away even though it’s rare. Ben says they beat the odds. Ciara feels like it’s a miracle. Ben agrees and calls it amazing. Ben points out that they are young, healthy, and very good at doing what you need to do to get pregnant. Ciara wonders if it happened after their first try. Ben points out that they did it lots of times after. Ciara reminds him that they both agreed the first time felt special and then felt the big gust of wind. Ciara guesses it wasn’t a bad omen, but a good thing.

Belle tells Shawn about her nightmare of Marlena being possessed and saying to expect the unexpected. Shawn encourages that it’s not real. Belle guesses it’s a combination of jet lag and seeing Marlena dressed as a Devil for Halloween. Shawn knows it must be difficult given Marlena’s history. Shawn suggests they go back to sleep but Belle says she’s wide awake now. Belle adds that they have slept for like 12 hours because of international travel. Shawn and Belle then kiss in bed.

Xander isn’t sure what Melinda is referring to. Melinda assumed that Xander knew since Gwen is his girlfriend and he’s not the one that she’s been deceiving all these months. Gwen says she has a duty to bring things to light so she’s going to Jack’s house to tell him what Gwen has done.

Gwen tells Abigail that she already admitted that she lied about what happened to her baby and brings up how Abigail said she’d be a horrible mother, so she wanted to hurt her and said that she pushed her. Gwen calls it a horrible, tragic accident. Abigail questions calling it an accident. Jack interrupts but Chad tells him to let her finish. Gwen insists it was an accident and she lost her baby. Abigail says those statements are true but not that in order. Jack questions what she’s talking about. Abigail asks Gwen if she wants to take it or should she. Gwen argues that Abigail hates her so much. Chad says that Gwen put her through enough so she can’t blame her for this. Abigail feels terrible for their argument and that Gwen ended up in the hospital, but it’s time for the whole truth to come out. Gwen claims not to know what she’s talking about. Abigail declares that they both know she lost her baby before she fell down the stairs.

Ben tells Ciara that they can either stay here and wonder if they’re having a baby or they can head to the hospital to make sure. Ben jokes that they can assume the test is wrong and keep trying. Ciara decides they should go to the hospital to see if she’s carrying a child and if she’s not, they will come back and pick up where they left off.

Belle tells Shawn that it’s great that Ben and Ciara are trying to have a baby. Shawn just hopes that they aren’t rushing things and enjoying being newlyweds. Belle thinks it makes sense that they don’t want to take any time for granted after all they have been through. Shawn decides he’s going to visit Abe at the hospital. Shawn invites Belle to come but Belle says she’s going to check on Marlena so she can get the image of her as the Devil out of her head.

After Justin and Bonnie’s wedding, Kayla tells Steve that she has to get back to the hospital. Steve stops her to ask what she said that Gwen might be lying to Jack about. Kayla explains how Gwen said that Dr. Snyder used her past a sex worker to blackmail her in to delivering drugs but Abigail doesn’t believe that and thinks that whatever Dr. Snyder held against her was much worse and she thought she could find a clue in Dr. Snyder’s office, so she let her go through it. Steve questions finding answers in Dr. Snyder’s personal belongings. Steve hopes Abigail comes up empty on this one for Jack’s sake. Kayla mentions that Steve said Jack was in good spirits this morning. Steve says that’s because Melinda dropped the charges against Gwen. Steve adds that no matter what Gwen has done, she is still his niece, just like Abigail. Steve knows Jack thinks Gwen has changed and they were on their way to being a family, so he’d hate to see that undone. Kayla thinks Abigail feels the same since she told her that she hopes she’s wrong because she doesn’t want to hurt Jack or Gwen, but she needs to know the truth no matter what it is. Steve says that Jack believes they can put the bad blood behind them so they will stay optimistic.

Jack questions what Abigail is saying. Abigail informs him that Gwen was no longer pregnant when she fell down the stairs. Jack says he’s lost. Abigail brings up the secret that Dr. Snyder was holding over Gwen and reveals that Gwen was not a sex worker. Abigail tells Gwen to just tell Jack that this was just another one of her stupid lies. Jack questions why she would lie about that. Chad responds that the truth is much worse. Abigail questions why Gwen would deliver drugs and why her past would be that horrible. Abigail talks about everything Gwen has done and how Jack forgave her for all of it, so she argues that being a sex worker in the past doesn’t make sense. Jack argues that Gwen was ashamed and asks what this has to do with Gwen losing her baby. Abigail explains that the day Gwen showed up at the house and she said those horrible things to her, she was coming from the hospital where she was treated for severe abdominal pains. Abigail states that Dr. Snyder examined Gwen and found out that she had miscarried, so when she went back to the hospital later, Dr. Snyder knew that her fall had nothing to do with her losing her baby and she didn’t want anybody to know that so everyone would think Abigail was responsible. Abigail adds that Dr. Snyder knew Gwen was desperate to keep the truth from coming out and that was what he was holding over. Abigail declares that the truth is, when they argued, Gwen wasn’t even pregnant anymore. Jack turns to Gwen and asks if this is true.

Belle goes to Marlena’s and sees the pitchfork inside. Belle tells herself that it was just a costume, just like her nightmare wasn’t real. Steve shows up and asks if Belle is okay as she looks like she’s seen a ghost. Steve adds that he wasn’t expecting her as he thought she was in South Africa visiting Claire. Belle informs him that they just got back last night. Steve asks how Claire is doing. Belle says she’s good and it’s been a positive move for her. Steve questions where everyone is. Belle doesn’t know as she came to see Marlena, but nobody was here. Steve hoped to talk to John about some business. Belle tells him that John is out of town on a case. Steve questions what case that is.

Shawn goes to the hospital and finds Ben so he asks if something is wrong. Ben reveals that Ciara is in with Kayla as she might be pregnant. Shawn is surprised as they just said they were going to start trying. Ben tells him that their first pregnancy test came back positive. Shawn asks if he’s still worried about he and Ciara having a baby.

Kayla takes Ciara’s blood and says she will get the lab to put a rush on it. Ciara says she will then know for sure and calls it a huge moment for her life to change forever. Ciara admits to getting scared. Kayla says that’s normal as it’s a big deal but also one of the most rewarding experiences she’ll ever have.

Xander tells Melinda that he still has no idea what she’s talking about. Melinda questions him playing it like this. Melinda reveals that the other day, she overheard him and Gwen in the interrogation room and learned a lot in that short time. Xander accuses her of eavesdropping. Melinda says there’s no privacy as this isn’t his living room. Melinda reveals that she learned Gwen was never a sex worker and was lying about her miscarriage. Melinda adds that Gwen said Jack would never forgive her if he found out that Gwen let Abigail think she was responsible for her losing her baby. Melinda guesses that Gwen already miscarried before her fall down the stairs and then lied after the fact. Xander calls that absurd. Melinda says she wants to know what Jack thinks about it, so she’s going to run it by him. Xander then stops her. Melinda says that’s what she thought.

Gwen argues that she doesn’t know where Abigail got this insane idea from, because she doesn’t know what she’s talking about. Jack knows Abigail feels guilty about what happened to Gwen’s baby, so he’s wondering if this story is a way to assuage that guilt. Abigail tells him it’s not a story, but the truth. Gwen questions if she has any evidence. Gwen argues that Dr. Snyder is dead so she couldn’t have gotten this from him. Abigail says that she didn’t need to as she has it all right here in print. Abigail then reveals the medical report and shows it to Jack.

Belle tells Steve that Marlena said John left town on an important case and asks if something’s wrong. Steve says it’s the first he’s hearing about it. Belle asks if it’s unusual for John not to tell him. Steve says not necessarily since he just finished a job for Victor. Steve adds that if Marlena said John is off on a case then it must be true.

Ciara tells Kayla about how Marlena has been such a huge help to Ben since he had worries about having a child and developing his mental illness. Kayla understands the concern but says they will both be caring parents that will get help right away if anything is off. Ciara adds that Marlena helped Ben see that his fear shouldn’t stop them from starting a family. Ciara admits that she’s kind of scared that Ben’s worry may never go away. Ciara thinks Ben will be an excellent father and be everything that Clyde wasn’t for him. Ciara says that Clyde made Ben’s childhood a living hell, while their child will be surrounded by nothing but love.

Shawn asks Ben about being nervous about being a parent. Ben says that Marlena helped get him past that and Ciara will be the best mother ever which Shawn agrees with.

Melinda tells Xander that she will take his million dollars and then she won’t tell Jack or anyone else what she knows. Xander mocks her not caring about blackmail if she’s the one getting paid. Melinda argues that the money is not for her. Xander asks why she wants it then. Melinda says it’s personal. Xander demands to know what she’s going to do with the million dollars. Melinda responds that she’s going to use the money to honor her daughter’s memory. Xander asks if she’s donating it to the hospital. Melinda says Haley did love being a nurse but she thought about the most meaningful way to honor Haley, so she decided to start a legal defense fund to assist undocumented immigrants. Xander remembers Haley was almost deported. Melinda wants to be able to offer resources, information, and hope. Melinda declares that she can’t help her daughter but maybe she can help someone else’s.

Gwen questions where Abigail got her private medical records. Abigail reveals that they found it in Dr. Snyder’s office inside of a book called “Miscarriage of Justice”. Gwen questions her breaking in to his office. Abigail responds that Kayla let them in. Gwen calls that illegal and threatens to have them arrested. Jack confirms that everything Abigail said is confirmed in the medical report. Abigail repeats that Gwen miscarried before she fell down the stairs. Jack realizes that Gwen already knew she lost her baby.

Ciara comes out from seeing Kayla and asks what Shawn is doing here. Shawn says he came to check on Abe but ran in to Ben so he asks about the test results. Ciara tells them that Kayla put a rush on it but they don’t know yet if Shawn’s going to be an uncle or if Ben’s going to be a father.

Xander tells Melinda that what she’s doing is quite noble but questions why she has to do it with his money. Melinda talks about all the time they have wasted on his crimes, she figured he’s not entitled to this money. Xander calls it a stretch. Melinda is not interested in his opinion but says the choice is his. Melinda declares that if Xander doesn’t care about protecting Gwen’s relationship with her father then he can keep the money. Xander gives in and tells Melinda to keep the money but he wants her word that she will never say anything to Jack about Gwen’s secret. Melinda swears that Jack won’t hear it from her. Melinda then exits the interrogation room.

Chad questions how Gwen could do this since she was on a mission to ruin he and Abigail’s marriage but Abigail found a way to rise above her getting pregnant and handled it with grace. Gwen disagrees. Chad says that Abigail had nothing to do with what happened to the baby, but Gwen let her believe that she did and she left town, him, and their children. Gwen argues that Abigail said she wanted to be rid of her and the baby. Chad brings up that Gwen told him that having the baby had nothing to do with hurting Abigail but that was a lie. Abigail declares that Gwen wants to hurt all of them and after all the understanding and forgiveness, she’s still the same. Gwen mocks Abigail being perfect. Abigail says she’s far from it but she was raised by loving people while Gwen doesn’t know how to love anyone but herself. Abigail feels sorry for her and wishes things could be different between them but it’s obvious to her now that they can’t. Abigail calls Gwen a toxic person and says she doesn’t want her in her life. Abigail hugs Jack and then walks out of the house with Chad. Jack can’t believe he didn’t see this coming and asks how he could’ve been so blind. Gwen cries that she’s sorry. Jack tells Gwen that he trusted her and supported her when her other daughter told him that all she wanted was to hurt him and their family. Jack asks Gwen why she would do this.

Kayla comes over to Ben, Ciara, and Shawn to announce the test results. Ciara and Ben say they are ready. Kayla congratulates Ben and Ciara as she announces they are going to have a baby. Ben and Ciara hug in excitement.

Chad and Abigail go home. Chad notes that she hasn’t said much and asks if she’s okay. Abigail thinks she is and says she’s spent so much of the last six months blaming herself for Gwen’s miscarriage but now that the truth is out, she doesn’t have to do that anymore and feels like a huge weight has been lifted off her chest.

Gwen tells Jack that Abigail was wrong. Jack says it’s all here in the medical report. Gwen admits she lied about her miscarriage as she lost the baby hours before she fell down the stairs. Gwen cries that Abigail was wrong when she said she didn’t know how to love. Jack thinks she was right. Jack says that Gwen’s family turned the other cheek and opened their hearts to her. Jack adds that his brother kept Gwen from going to prison. Gwen admits she may not be very good with relationships but she knows how she feels about Jack is how a daughter should feel about her father. Gwen says that feeling is grateful and safe and for the first time, she felt value as a human as if someone actually cared about her. Jack questions why she would lie to him then. Gwen couldn’t bear the thought of him looking at her the way that he’s looking at her now with so much anger and contempt. Gwen knew that any love Jack felt for her or any connection they had would be gone the minute he found out what she’s done. Gwen cries that now she can see that she was right. Jack tells Gwen not to call him dad and storms out of the room. Gwen sits down and breaks down crying. Xander comes home and tells Gwen that he has good news and bad news. Gwen says whatever it is doesn’t hold a candle to her. Xander asks what’s happened. Gwen informs him that she just lost her father. Xander asks if something happened to Jack. Gwen reveals that Jack found out she was lying about her miscarriage. Xander says that bitch. Gwen asks how he knew that Abigail figured the whole thing out. Xander is surprised to learn it was Abigail. Gwen explains that Kayla let Chad and Abigail into Dr. Snyder’s office where they found her original chart, so they brought it here and showed Jack. Gwen tells him that Jack was furious and wants nothing to do with her. Xander hugs her and says he’s so sorry as he thinks back to Melinda swearing Jack wouldn’t hear it from her. Xander promises Gwen that it will be okay.

Chad is glad Abigail no longer has to carry around guilt as he knows that was one of the issues that kept them apart. Abigail assures she’s not going anywhere and thanks him for being patient. Chad thanks her for being forgiving. Abigail is glad the truth came out but she feels horrible that Jack was hurt as he was really starting to care for Gwen and she doesn’t know if their relationship will survive this.

Steve finds Kayla at the hospital and informs her that Marlena told Belle that John went out of town on a case and didn’t tell anybody. Steve says he called the office but they had no idea what he’s talking about and John is not answering his phone, so something’s not right.

Belle goes to the hospital and hugs Shawn. Shawn informs her that he hasn’t had a chance to see Abe yet because he ran in to Ben and Ciara. Shawn then announces to Belle that Ben and Ciara are pregnant. Belle hugs him and says that’s wonderful.

Ben and Ciara go home. Ben talks about taking care of her throughout her pregnancy. Ciara asks if he’s really happy that he’s pregnant. Ciara knows he’s excited and they agreed that it would be a good idea, but she wants him to be honest as to if he’s still having reservations about being a dad. Ben says not anymore and assures that he’s so blessed to have a baby with the woman he loves as there’s nothing he’s wanted more in his life. Susan Banks then shows up at their door and says she had to come because she had a premonition about their baby.

Update written by Joseph

At the Kiriakis Mansion, Maggie tries to talk to Victor then complains about him not listening. Victor apologizes and explains that he’s engrossed in an article about Ava Vitali being arrested for the murder of the guy who shot Abe and says it’s wonderful. Maggie comments on that horrible man no longer being a threat while Victor clarifies he’s excited about Ava going down for murder. Victor reminds her that Ava blackmailed Philip and forced him to launder money from his company, so he’s allowed to revel in her misfortune. Maggie says whatever sparks his joy. Victor calls it another miscreant behind bars and jokes that the Salem police department lockup must be running out of room. Justin then walks in and announces that a couple spots just opened up. Maggie excitedly hugs him and exclaims that he is free. Justin responds that it’s all thanks to uncle Victor and Steve Johnson so Maggie then turns to Victor.

Steve and Jack sit together at the Brady Pub. Steve tells him that right about now, Gwen should be getting released. Jack doesn’t know how to thank him for coming through for his daughter. Steve says that when Victor told him the original deal didn’t include Bonnie and Gwen, he didn’t think that was right, so he fought for their release too and was happy to do it. Jack notes that Steve isn’t a fan of either one of them. Steve admits he’s come around on Bonnie and that Gwen is his niece so he couldn’t just let her go to prison.

Melinda brings Gwen to Xander at the police station. Xander asks what took so long since Justin had already been released. Melinda explains that the only reason Gwen is free is because her uncle Steve played hardball. Gwen tells Xander that apparently Victor’s deal didn’t include Bonnie or her. Melinda remarks that if it were up to her, all four of them would be serving time in prison. Xander is not surprised she’d want them all locked up. Melinda responds that their freedom was a small price to pay for what she got in return; the bitch who murdered her daughter.

Chad goes to see Kristen in the interrogation room. Kristen thanks him for coming and asks where EJ is. Chad informs her that EJ won’t be showing up. Kristen asks why not since she needs EJ to represent her. Chad responds that he will let EJ explain it to her himself as he hands her a letter.

Abigail goes to the hospital and asks Kayla if she got her text the other day. Kayla says she did and then everything with Abe got crazy. Abigail hopes Kayla can help her out now. Abigail tells Kayla that she thinks Gwen has been lying to Jack and she needs her to help her prove it.

Justin explains that Melinda dropped all charges so he probably won’t be disbarred. Maggie calls that fantastic news and asks if Victor happened to pull some strings. Victor admits he might have negotiated a mutually beneficial deal with Melinda. Maggie asks what Melinda got out of the deal. Victor tells her it was someone she’s always wanted; Kristen DiMera. Maggie thought Kristen went in to hiding. Victor reveals that he hired Steve to find her and it looks like he already found her and took her straight to Melinda. Justin confirms that Kristen is already in custody. Victor asks if this day can get any better. Justin appreciates Victor’s help since things were looking pretty dire. Victor calls Justin the best of them and says he couldn’t allow him to go to prison even if what he did was very stupid. Justin tells Victor that he loves him and thanks him. Justin adds that he and Bonnie owe him. Victor questions what Bonnie has to do with this. Bonnie then walks in with a bottle of champagne and shouts that it’s time to get the party started.

Xander jokes that he’d love to see the look on Victor’s face when he finds out Bonnie is out of jail. Gwen asks if Victor hates Bonnie that match. Xander tells her that Victor can’t stand the sight of her and is convinced that she’s not nearly good enough for Justin. Gwen can’t imagine what Victor will think of her then. Xander doesn’t give a damn since Victor’s opinion hasn’t mattered to him in a long time. Melinda tells them that she has a psychopath to put away but something tells her that it won’t be long before she sees one or both of them back here again. Xander stops Melinda and reminds her that they have unfinished business…

Kayla asks what Abigail thinks Gwen is lying about. Abigail explains that Gwen admitted to Jack that Dr. Snyder blackmailed her in to being his drug courier. Kayla mentions that Jack told her about Gwen being a sex worker in her past. Abigail talks about how Jack would totally understand and Gwen knew that, so she doesn’t see why Gwen would allow herself to be blackmailed in to delivering drugs just to keep Jack from finding out that she used to be a sex worker. Abigail says Gwen has done worse things since coming to town and has felt no shame, so she thinks Gwen is lying about her past. Abigail thinks Gwen is hiding something much worse.

Victor questions why Bonnie is not in jail. Bonnie laughs and asks what he’s talking about. Bonnie says Victor is the one who got her sprung, so she bought champagne to thank him. Victor says she’s not welcome and that there must be some sort of mix up. Justin asks what he means. Victor complains that he negotiated the deal for Justin and Xander to be released but it didn’t include Bonnie. Bonnie guesses that Steve re-negotiated the terms since she and Gwen are both now free.

Xander tells Melinda that they are not walking out of here until she returns his briefcase. Melinda asks if he means the one filled with a million dollars. Xander argues that now that Bonnie’s case is closed, she doesn’t need it as evidence anymore. Gwen adds that they have really big plans for that money starting with a tropical paradise resort. Melinda agrees to get them the money but says the paper work will take awhile so they can come back in an hour or two. Xander responds that he’ll be there and he expects every last dollar. Xander and Gwen then exit the police station together.

Steve tells Jack that he and Kayla had a hard time accepting Gwen into the family after what she did to Jack, Jennifer, and Abigail. Jack understands but assures that Gwen regrets everything she’s done and the pain she has caused. Jack says she has worked hard to make amends and turn her life around. Steve points out that the only reason Gwen was in a cell was because she was trying to take down a corrupt judge. Jack hopes that counts for something. Steve admits he had to give Gwen a second chance as he’s had plenty himself. Jack says he has too and he truly believes that Gwen has changed and is done for good with secrets and lies…

Kayla asks what Abigail thinks Dr. Snyder was holding over Gwen if she wasn’t a sex worker. Abigail admits she doesn’t know and she hopes she is wrong since Gwen and Jack have gotten close. Abigail says she hates the thought of hurting Jack and Gwen after their fight on the stairs. Abigail talks about how Dr. Snyder treated Gwen after her fall, so part of her feels like she should just let it all go but she just has the feeling that something else is going on which is where Kayla comes in. Kayla doesn’t see how she could help. Abigail wants to take a look at Dr. Snyder’s office to find some clue as to what he was really holding over Gwen.

Kristen reads EJ’s letter, saying he knows that she was counting on him to represent her against her latest charges, but the Board has advised him not to take her case because it would reflect badly on the company. EJ wrote that he would do what he can behind the scenes but he can’t do so in public. Kristen argues that she nursed EJ back from the grave and this is how he repays her. Chad tells her that he lobbied hard but EJ refuses to go against Mr. Shin. Kristen argues that her future is on the line and without EJ’s help, she could spend the rest of her life behind bars.

Steve asks Jack about he and Gwen getting pretty close. Jack says now that she’s finally let down her guard, he got a glimpse of the woman she could’ve been without the chip on her shoulder. Jack calls her selfless and caring, especially when it comes to Xander. They talk about things getting serious between Gwen and Xander. Jack states that now that they are out of jail, they have a real chance to see where it can go.

Gwen and Xander return home. Gwen questions no one being home to welcome them back. Xander points out that no one would be glad to see them except Jack. Xander opens up her laptop because he wants to get started on their vacation plans. Gwen asks about his excitement for it. Xander tells her that they’ve been apart for weeks in tiny cells so the least they deserve is to unwind on a beach somewhere. Gwen agrees as they kiss.

Kayla brings Abigail to Dr. Snyder’s office. Kayla explains that the police had sealed his office but as of this morning, the case is officially closed since all charges against Xander were dropped and he was the last unresolved part of the case as the rest of the drug ring has already been rounded up. Abigail asks if she’s sure this is okay so she doesn’t get in any trouble. Kayla says she’s retrieved all of the patient files so all that is left are Dr. Snyder’s personal things. Abigail thanks her. Kayla tells her to just lock the door when she leaves and wishes her luck as she hopes she finds what she is looking for. Kayla then exits the office.

Chad tells Kristen not to panic because EJ hired another attorney who is supposed to be top-notch and will meet her at the courthouse later. Kristen questions when EJ became such a coward that he couldn’t come tell her to her face that he was abandoning her. Chad points out that it could be considered bad publicity. Kristen notes that it didn’t seem to bother Chad and asks if he’s not scared of incurring Mr. Shin’s wrath. Chad responds that he likes to live dangerously. Kristen thanks him for coming. Chad is sorry that she’s in this mess. Kristen says she’s only in it because Victor sent Steve Johnson after her. Kristen remarks that she really should stab Victor in the heart again.

Victor complains that Steve went behind his back and negotiated a side deal. Victor says he should’ve known he couldn’t trust him. Justin argues that he thought Victor did something nice for a change. Victor responds that he did do something nice, just not for Bonnie. Bonnie doesn’t know why he’s making such a big fuss since he got what he wanted and Justin and Xander are free. Bonnie jokes that she and Gwen are just a bonus. Victor decides he’s going to call Melinda because this has to be fixed right away. Justin stops him and tells him that the deal is done. Justin reminds Victor that Bonnie is innocent and deserves her freedom. Victor argues that Bonnie killed a woman and tucked her in Justin’s bed. Bonnie calls that self defense which Victor finds hard to believe. Maggie tells him to let it go because Justin and Bonnie have been through enough and are ready to put this nightmare behind them. Justin confirms that’s what he intends to do and they plan to pick up right where they left off. Justin asks Bonnie what she thinks about getting married today.

Bonnie questions Justin wanting to get married today. Justin asks why not and says they can have the ceremony right here like they originally planned. Victor claims this venue is booked because he’s having friends over for lunch. Justin argues that Victor doesn’t have any friends and declares they are having the ceremony right here. Justin hopes the justice of peace, matron of honor, and best man are all available. Justin says he’ll call them now. Bonnie questions what to wear since her wedding dress is all wrinkled and still in the bag from being arrested. Justin tells her to wear the dress she was going to wear for the reception. Bonnie decides that’s perfect and tells Justin that she loves him so much as they kiss. Bonnie adds that Justin has made her the happiest woman in the world. Justin grabs her bottle of champagne and they exit. Victor remarks that he’s going to kill Steve.

Steve goes to the hospital and surprises Kayla. Steve figured she’d be on her break so he wanted to see if he could take her for a stroll in the park. Kayla says that sounds lovely but she needs to hear from the lab and then they can go. Kayla asks about his breakfast with Jack. Steve confirms Jack was happy that he got Gwen released. Steve just hopes that their niece can stay out of trouble from now on. Kayla is sorry to say but she thinks Gwen might be lying to Jack again. Steve asks what about. Steve then gets a call from Justin and asks him what’s up.

Melinda enters the interrogation room and tells Kristen that she heard the bad news that EJ is throwing her to the wolves. Kristen responds that EJ did arrange for another lawyer so she’s not worried. Melinda warns that she should be because she’ll be serving the five years of her original sentence that would’ve just been two but she broke out twice and now she’s facing additional charges of kidnapping and aggravated assault. Melinda tells Kristen that she’s going away for a very, very long time and she’s the one that is making it happen.

Chad joins Abigail in Dr. Snyder’s office and asks if she found anything yet. Abigail says not so far. Chad asks where she wants him to start looking. Abigail directs him to the cabinets and asks how things went with Kristen. Chad tells her that Kristen is upset that EJ is not taking the case and he can’t blame her since EJ goes on and on about being loyal but he’s only ever out for himself. Chad asks Abigail what exactly they are looking for. Abigail admits she doesn’t know and is just hoping something will jump out at them. Abigail concludes she might be grasping at straws and there’s nothing to find. Chad assures they are not giving up because if Gwen has a secret in here, they are going to find it.

Xander and Gwen continue kissing. Gwen suggests they take it to her room. Xander points out that no one is here anyways. Gwen reminds him about how Julie feels about the couch. Xander responds that Julie’s not here and doesn’t have to know. Xander says he can’t wait another second as they continue kissing and he removes his shirt. Xander starts to undress Gwen until Jack walks in and then Gwen shoves Xander off of her. Jack apologizes for interrupting. Xander jokes with Gwen about her pushing him off of her. Jack says he should just get going but Gwen stops him and asks him not to go. Gwen tells Jack that she’s so happy to see him. Jack feels the same and says Steve filled him in on everything. Jack hugs Gwen and welcomes her home. Gwen feels she owes Steve so much. Jack tells her to pay Steve back by having a really good life. Gwen says she plans to do that and she’s relieved to never think about Dr. Snyder ever again..

Chad and Abigail continue searching Dr. Snyder’s office. Chad notes that Dr. Snyder was in to legal thrillers but not the classics. Chad opens one of the books and a paper falls out. Chad says it looks like a medical record. Abigail sees that it is for Gwen. Chad realizes it’s about the miscarriage. Abigail questions why Dr. Snyder would be keeping that hidden away in a book.

Kristen tells Melinda that she’s very aware of the deal she made with Victor and Steve. Kristen says she’s a little surprised that an overachiever like her would cut loose four potential feathers in her cap. Melinda responds that it was so worth it for the woman who killed her daughter to waste away in a prison cell. Melinda declares that she will finally have justice for her little girl. Kristen says she’s sorry about Haley but it truly was an accident. Melinda tells her to shut the hell up with her excuses as she took her daughter away from her. Kristen complains that Melinda is doing exactly the same to her as she may never see Rachel again. Melinda says that seems fair to her since she lost her daughter because of Kristen, so she’s just returning the favor.

Steve and Kayla go to the Kiriakis Mansion for the wedding. Maggie informs them that Justin and Bonnie are still getting dressed. Victor tells Steve that this is all his fault as they had a deal and it did not include him going behind his back to make any side deals to release any other trash around town. Kayla questions if Steve was supposed to leave them behind when Bonnie was innocent and Gwen was just helping Xander. Steve declares there was no way in Hell that he was going to leave his brother’s daughter and Justin’s fiancee in prison, so he doesn’t give a damn what Victor thinks. Victor remarks that he should’ve known Steve would go rogue. Victor tells Steve that he is not paying him a cent and is not going to hire him either. Justin and Bonnie then enter the room. Steve notes that the happy couple doesn’t look so happy and asks what’s going on. Justin reveals that the justice of peace is not available so they have to postpone the ceremony. Maggie then announces that she could officiate. Bonnie questions Maggie offering when she doesn’t even like her. Maggie admits Bonnie is not her favorite person, but she is Justin’s, so that counts for something. Justin thanks Maggie. Victor argues that Maggie is not ordained but she reveals that she got ordained in prison last year when she had a lot of time on her hands. Kayla and Steve think it’s a great idea. Bonnie says there’s nothing she wants more. Maggie goes to write a script. Kayla gives Bonnie a bouquet. Bonnie mentions that her daughter Mimi wanted to video chat so she could watch, so she asks if Kayla will hold her phone for her. Justin adds that Sonny wanted to do the same, so he asks Steve to hold his phone for Sonny and his brothers which he agrees to do. Bonnie knows she’s about to have the happiest day of her life and says it’s all because of Steve getting her out of prison. Bonnie thanks Steve for all that he did for her and Justin. Justin tells Steve that they are so very grateful. Steve says he and Kayla are grateful too that Justin is happy again. Justin guesses they are all set and asks if Victor is staying. Victor asks why he wouldn’t since he was there first. Justin tells Victor to suit himself but he better be on his best behavior.

Jack decides to make a toast to Gwen and Xander’s freedom. Jack knows the last few months have not been easy but he’s been impressed by how they looked out for each other. Jack wants to think of this as a fresh start. Xander then gets a text from Melinda that the paper work is finished so he can collect his briefcase. Xander says he’ll be back as soon as he can. Xander tells Gwen that they are one step closer to their paradise. Xander kisses Gwen and thanks Jack for the welcome as he then exits the house. Jack guesses they are official now. Gwen confirms so and asks how Jack feels about that. Jack asks if Xander makes her happy. Gwen says that he does, so Jack gives his blessing. Gwen says that means more to her than he knows. Gwen thanks him and callls him dad. Gwen starts to apologize but Jack says he’s been waiting months to hear her call him dad.

Abigail reads the medical report on Gwen’s miscarriage and it says she drove herself to the hospital 20 minutes after symptoms began. Chad notes that’s not what happened since Gwen took an ambulance. Abigail says this doesn’t make any sense as it doesn’t mention Gwen falling down the stairs. Abigail points out the time on it and it says this exam took place hours before her and Gwen’s argument. Chad questions Gwen being here before the accident. Abigail then comes to a realization.

Maggie begins Justin and Bonnie’s wedding ceremony. Maggie asks if anyone objects. Justin tells Victor not to even think about it. Victor says it was worth a shot. Maggie then continues the ceremony. Justin and Bonnie exchange their vows. Justin and Bonnie then place the rings on their fingers. Maggie then pronounces Justin and Bonnie husband and wife as they kiss.

Gwen asks if Jack is really okay with her calling him dad. Jack asks why he wouldn’t be. Gwen says the whole father-daughter thing is new to her and she didn’t know if they were quite there yet. Jack wants to remove any doubt from her mind. Jack tells her that she is his daughter and he loves her so nothing will ever change that. Gwen tearfully thanks him and calls him dad as they hug. Abigail and Chad then walk in to interrupt. Jack calls it perfect as they are just in time to join their little celebration. Abigail responds that she’s sorry but the party is over.

Update written by Joseph

Philip exits the Brady Pub and bumps in to Nick. Philip apologizes as Nick tells him not to worry about it, wishes him a Happy Halloween, and keeps on walking. Philip stops and thinks to himself that it’s weird that the guy in the zombie costume looked exactly like Nick Fallon, but questions how that could be when Nick is dead.

Gabi digs up the grave where Nick said he buried Jake.

Shawn goes to the police station. Eli apologizes for calling him in so late. Shawn says it’s no problem and asks what’s going on. Eli informs him that All Hallows Eve has brought out the goons, goblins, and crazies, starting with Gabi, who apparently busted Jake out of holding. Eli says that doesn’t even compare to the murder suspect they have in the interrogation room; Ava Vitali. Shawn asks what happened. Eli thinks Ava just snapped.

Ava sits in the interrogation room, wondering how it’s possible that Charlie is back. Ava tells herself that she shouldn’t have run, she should’ve stayed and stopped him. Ava pleads for Charlie not to hurt Tripp.

Tripp bursts in to Nicole and Allie’s apartment to find Charlie holding Allie hostage. Tripp orders Charlie to get the hell away from her. Charlie says he’s not surprised to see superman Tripp come to the rescue. Tripp is shocked and says that Ava was right that he really is here. Charlie asks what he’s going to do about it.

Gabi continues digging up the grave, yelling for Jake not to give up.

Shawn questions Eli about Ava stabbing Carmine. Eli tells him that all the talk about Ava breaking free from her past, it seems like those ties run deep as she was apparently hiding Carmine at Rafe’s house. Shawn asks if she admitted that. Eli notes that she’s not admitting much of anything and not even making sense, so he’s heading out on a few leads to find out what happened. Eli asks Shawn to try to get Ava to tell him exactly what she knows. Shawn agrees to try. Eli hopes he can get her to talk to him about something other than people rising from the dead.

Rafe goes to the Basic Black office to see Nicole and says it better be good. Nicole informs Rafe that Deimos was here and he came back to get her, so she killed him by stabbing him with a pair of scissors. Rafe tells her that Deimos Kiriakis is dead. Nicole responds that he is inside, dead on the floor with a pair of scissors in his chest, so he can go look for himself. Rafe then opens the door and tells Nicole that she needs to come in. Nicole enters the office and sees nothing but a pair of scissors on the floor and no Deimos, leaving Nicole shocked. Nicole doesn’t understand, insisting that Deimos was right there.

Gabi continues digging the grave and opens the casket to find Jake inside. Gabi tells Jake that she’s there.

Charlie guesses Ava filled Tripp in and warned him that he was back in town. Tripp asks Allie if he has hurt her. Allie says no. Tripp tries to get Allie but Charlie says he’s in charge and she’s not going anywhere. Tripp encourages that everything will be okay. Charlie mocks her. Tripp says to let her go since he’s the one that Charlie hates, not her. Charlie says he’s right about that and this is finally his chance to do something about it.

Shawn enters the interrogation room. Ava asks if Eli told him what happened and says he has to find Charlie. Shawn promises to look in to it, but first he wants to talk to her. Ava just wants him to find Charlie before it’s too late. Shawn says he can’t help her until he knows the facts. Ava argues that she told Eli the facts. Shawn tells her to tell them to him now and start with what happened between her and Carmine. Ava calls this a waste of time because she didn’t kill Carmine, her son Charlie did. Shawn argues that Charlie is dead because Jan Spears killed him so she could not have seen him. Ava recalls everyone in town being a suspect. Shawn says it doesn’t matter who killed Charlie, the fact is that he’s dead.

Gabi tries to wake Jake up. She pulls him out of the casket and gives him CPR which successfully revives him. Jake asks what the hell happened. Gabi asks if he’s okay. Jake questions being in a coffin and says he’s much more alive than he was a few minutes ago. Gabi hugs him and says she almost lost him. Jake tells her to let him breathe for a second. Jake asks her what the hell is going on. Gabi tells him that she saw what she saw and still doesn’t know what happened. Gabi asks if he knows how he got here. Jake remembers a cop taking him to lockup in jail and then someone grabbed him from behind which is the last thing he remembers until just waking up. Gabi blames herself and says Nick Fallon came after him because of her and buried him in his grave. Jake asks if Nick is the guy that she killed.

Nicole cries that this doesn’t make any sense since Deimos was dead on the floor with the pair of scissors in his chest. Nicole asks how he could just disappear. Nicole asks if Rafe thinks she’s crazy. Rafe asks her what happened. Nicole tells him that she was working and heard a noise, then she looked up and Deimos was at the door. Nicole says Deimos was so angry and told her she was going to pay, so she grabbed the scissors and stabbed him. Nicole insists that he was right there when she called Rafe. Rafe goes over Deimos coming back from the dead, she killed him, and now he’s gone. Rafe points out there is no blood on the scissors but they say zombies don’t bleed. Nicole says she’s never been so terrified in her life. Rafe says that if Deimos came back from the dead, he has a lot of enemies, so he questions why he would come after her. Nicole responds that he said he wanted revenge. Rafe asks what it would be revenge for. Rafe asks Nicole why Deimos would want revenge on her. Nicole claims it’s because she rejected him and he was obsessed with her. Rafe questions that being why Deimos came back from the dead to try to kill her tonight and if he never got over that even after dying. Nicole understands if he doesn’t believe her. Rafe says she was here alone in the dark on Halloween and everyone’s thinking of ghouls and goblins, so it’s natural if her mind was playing tricks on her. Nicole insists that wasn’t the case but then admits maybe it was all in her imagination. Nicole apologizes for bothering him. Rafe says it’s okay but Nicole wants to just forget what happened here and says she was acting like a crazy woman. Nicole tells Rafe to just go home to Ava. Rafe responds that he’s actually not going home to Ava, because Ava is being questioned about a murder.

Ava tells Shawn not to speak to her like she’s an idiot because they all know Jan Spears killed Charlie, but that doesn’t change the fact that Charlie showed up in her kitchen tonight and killed Carmine. Ava says that Charlie started ranting about how she would never love him and came after her with the knife, so she ran. Shawn goes over Carmine wanting her dead and now he’s dead. Ava repeats that Charlie killed him. Shawn knows that’s her story. Ava calls it the truth. Shawn thought she changed her ways, living with Rafe and starting a new life. Ava asks what he’s trying to get at. Shawn notes that she had a good thing going but then her past comes back to bite her. Shawn wonders if things got out of hand and she’s latching on to this crazy story because she doesn’t want to take responsibility for killing Carmine.

Eli goes to the Kiriakis Mansion. Philip jokingly asks if he’s out trick or treating. Eli says he’s here on police business. Philip asks what he can do for him. Eli informs him that Carmine was found dead earlier this evening. Philip says he heard about that on the news and asks if he was the man who shot Abe. Philip questions what he wants with him. Eli tells him to cut the innocent act since he knows that he’s up to his eyes in this, because Carmine was in town because of Philip to dig up dirt on Jake, that he was going to use to get Gabi to hand over her company to him but instead he ended up shooting Abe. Philip calls that quite a tale. Eli asks Philip when he last saw Carmine. Philip flashes back to Carmine showing up at the mansion to confront he and Ava. Philip admits that he learned some unsavory details about an employee and fired him for it but says that’s not a crime. Philip adds that if Carmine is an associate of Jake then maybe he should talk to Jake.

Jake reminds Gabi that she killed Nick Fallon twice, so he asks how the hell he’s alive enough to try to kill him. Gabi says all she knows is that Nick was dead and buried until tonight and now he’s walking around Salem as creepy as he was when he was alive. Jake questions if she’s saying Nick’s a zombie and says that’s crazy. Nick then appears and says they should’ve left well enough alone because now they’re going to have to do this all over again.

Nicole asks Rafe why Ava is being questioned about a murder. Rafe informs her that he went home and found Carmine dead on his kitchen floor. Nicole recognizes Carmine as the man suspected of shooting Abe. Rafe guesses that Ava had been hiding him in his house even though it put he and his family at risk. Nicole asks if he thinks Ava might have killed Carmine. Rafe admits he doesn’t know but there is definitely a connection between them. Nicole guesses he’s thinking Ava is reverting to his old ways. Rafe adds that according to Gabi, Ava hooked Philip up with Carmine to get dirt on Jake, so they could blackmail Gabi and take over Gabi Chic. Nicole can’t believe Ava would do that. Rafe talks about Ava being nice to Gabi for weeks when the whole time she’s been plotting to take over her company with Philip. Nicole says she’s so sorry. Rafe declares that it looks like he’s been played for the fool as apparently Ava hasn’t been honest with him for a very long time.

Ava repeats to Shawn that she did not murder Carmine, Charlie did. Ava says this isn’t just about her but about keeping everyone in town safe. Ava tells Shawn that Charlie is on the loose and wants Henry back, so he could be going after Allie as they speak.

Tripp calls Charlie a pathetic loser. Allie warns him not to make it worse. Charlie threatens Tripp. Tripp tells him to pick on someone his own size instead of Allie. Charlie mocks Allie as innocent and says she wanted it that night. Tripp warns him to shut up. Charlie asks if he’s going to kill him when he’s already dead which he blames Tripp for. Tripp says he’s not the one who put a bullet in him. Charlie argues that Tripp was there on the night that Jan shot him, but he walked away. Tripp says he didn’t know he was inside. Charlie argues that if Tripp busted down the door or called an ambulance, he’d still be alive. Charlie then remarks that he’s glad Tripp didn’t try to rescue him because then Jan might have killed him and now that pleasure is his. Charlie declares there’s no better way to repay Tripp for taking his life than to take him back down to Hell with him. Charlie then tackles Tripp as Allie screams.

Gabi tells Nick that she doesn’t know how the hell he came back from the dead but says he’s not going anywhere near Jake. Nick reminds her it’s payback as they flashback to Gabi killing Nick. Nick says if he kills the man she loves, they are even. Jake tries to go after Nick but he can’t get up. Gabi tells Nick to leave him alone. Nick then shoves Gabi down. Jake calls Nick a bastard. Nick calls Jake hard to kill but says at first if you don’t succeed, try a stake through the heart. Jake thinks Nick is confused since he’s not the undead one. Nick thinks it will still get the job done. Nick says it might be overkill, but whatever it takes. Gabi then recovers and hits Nick with a shovel to the back of the head, knocking him out.

Tripp and Charlie fight until Allie grabs a frying pan and hits Charlie in the back of the head. Allie says she should’ve done that a long time ago. Charlie calls her a bitch and warns that she will regret that. Tripp and Charlie punch each other. Tripp pins Charlie down on the couch and tells him it’s over. Charlie argues that Tripp thinks he won because he got their mom, his son, and Allie. Charlie remarks that Tripp can play house all he wants but deep down he knows Allie will always be damaged goods as all he got was his sloppy seconds. Tripp then attacks Charlie and beats him with the frying pan.

Gabi confirms that Nick is dead again. Jake didn’t know zombies had heartbeats. Gabi remarks that Nick didn’t have a heart when he was alive. Gabi hopes Nick is dead for good this time. Jake thanks her for killing Nick before he could kill him. Gabi notes that she’s already killed Nick twice so she guesses third time was the charm. Gabi asks if they should put him back where he belongs. Jake calls that a good idea. Gabi helps Jake up and they put Nick back in his casket in his grave. Jake brings up Gabi putting this maniac out of his misery three times and questions how Nick got out and climbed out of his grave. Gabi says she has no clue and doesn’t even think she wants to find out.

Eli tells Philip that he would like to talk to Jake but he busted out of jail tonight. Philip says Eli’s higher ups must not be pleased and asks if there are any leads. Eli admits Jake may have had help. Philip guesses he means Gabi and that Gabi busted her mobster boyfriend out of the slammer. Philip says he knew they were bad news and he’s glad he fired Jake. Philip questions Eli not being out hunting for them instead of harassing innocent citizens. Eli argues that the innocent part is still up for debate, but he does have to get back to the station. Eli decides they are done for tonight but he may have more questions. Philip knows not to leave town and says Eli knows where he’ll be if he needs him. Eli then exits the mansion.

Nicole tells Rafe that she knew Ava and Gabi didn’t get along but Gabi’s company means everything to her. Rafe tells her not to feel too bad for Gabi since it looks like Gabi may have helped Jake break out of jail tonight. Rafe thought he would spend the night confiscating toilet paper and shaving cream. Nicole apologizes for calling him over to deal with a pair of scissors. Rafe acknowledges that she was obviously very shaken up. Nicole says it was over nothing and apologizes again. Rafe tells her to stop apologizing and that it’s okay. Rafe is glad he was there because he was worried about her. Nicole assures that she’s fine, so he can go solve the case. Rafe informs her that Eli is working the investigation because he’s a little too close to Gabi and Ava. Rafe is glad that he’s here because he doesn’t want to leave Nicole alone on a night like tonight. Nicole responds that she’s not alone and points out that she has their teddy bear Duke. Rafe asks what if he wants to be the one who is there when she needs him. Nicole says he is there for her and always has been because they are friends. Rafe jokes that maybe he’s jealous of all the time she spends with Duke. Nicole reminds him that they agreed to stay away from each other so he could give his relationship with Ava a chance. Rafe points out that it’s not working for him anymore. Nicole asks what about him and Ava. Rafe says after what happened tonight, he doesn’t know if there is a he and Ava. Nicole argues that they haven’t even talked and there may be an explanation. Rafe questions an explanation for screwing over his sister and finding a dead guy on his kitchen floor. Rafe states that he’s tried with Ava, given her the benefit of the doubt, and defended her to his sister. Rafe adds that he avoided Nicole and pretending that donuts and coffee is enough is not because of every time he sees her. Rafe then kisses Nicole.

Shawn reminds Ava of when Charlie drugged her and she was seeing people that weren’t there. Ava notes that Tripp said the same thing but insists that Charlie was not a hallucination or else Carmine wouldn’t be dead. Ava stops Shawn and wants to speak to someone who is actually going to listen. Shawn asks if she wants a lawyer. Ava says she wants Rafe. Shawn says he’s sorry but Rafe isn’t here. Ava points out that she’s entitled to a phone call so Shawn agrees to call Rafe for her.

Rafe and Nicole continue kissing as Rafe’s phone rings on the desk nearby.

Shawn informs Ava that Rafe is not picking up. Shawn leaves a message that he’s at the station with Ava and she wants to talk to him, so he asks him to call when he gets the message.

Allie stops Tripp and says that’s enough as Charlie can’t hurt her anymore. Tripp assures that Charlie will never hurt her again. Tripp turns back to the couch but Charlie has disappeared.

Jake asks Gabi if they should re-bury Nick. Gabi says she’s dug up enough dirt tonight and doesn’t want to wait around for someone else to get reanimated. Jake is ready to get out of here too. Gabi tells Jake that they should get him to the hospital. Jake reminds her that he’s an escaped prisoner. Gabi argues that he did not escape and did nothing wrong. Jake says he still needs to set things straight with the cops. Jake adds that he’d like to get Gabi home and in bed, but he has to get back to jail.

Shawn tells Ava that he’s sorry Rafe didn’t pick up. Ava urges him to call again. Shawn says Rafe is obviously busy. Ava asks Shawn to call again if Rafe doesn’t call back. Shawn says he has places to be right now but assures that Rafe will call back when he gets the message and then he will let her know. Shawn then exits the room.

Rafe and Nicole continue kissing. Rafe removes his jacket as they kiss onto the table in the Basic Black office.

Eli goes back to the police station and asks Shawn if he got anything out of Ava. Shawn says no and that she’s sticking to her story that her dead son did it. Shawn asks if there’s any news on Jake. Eli responds that he’s still at large. Gabi and Jake then arrive at the station. Gabi knows what they are thinking but says they can explain. Shawn accuses Gabi of busting Jake out of here. Gabi says that’s not how it happened. Eli wants to hear every detail of how it happened and asks who is going first. Jake says not to blame Gabi because she had nothing to do with his escape. Jake then claims he did it all on his own.

Tripp searches the apartment but Charlie is gone. Allie argues that he couldn’t have just disappeared. Allie asks if this was real. Tripp doesn’t know what’s going on but says it’s not just them and tells her that Ava saw him too. Allie guesses that’s why Ava called him. Tripp explains how Charlie killed somebody right in front of Ava then came after her but Ava barely escaped. Tripp admits he didn’t believe Ava at first and just blew it off. Allie asks how he knew to show up here. Tripp tells her that Ava was afraid that Charlie would go after her. Allie worries about if Tripp didn’t show up and Charlie took Henry. Tripp assures that they are safe. Allie thanks him. Tripp says the only reason he’s still breathing is because she’s good with a frying pan and thanks her. Tripp hugs Allie as she cries. Allie then says “I love you” to Tripp for the first time. Allie tells him that she wants to say it because it’s true and repeats that she loves him as they kiss.

Nicole goes to work at the Basic Black office. She opens her drawer and pulls out her and Rafe’s teddy bear Duke. Nicole says they both know she should get rid of Duke but she’s not doing that and asks why that is. Nicole then questions why she’s talking to a stuffed bear. Zombie Deimos then appears in the doorway and remarks that talking to yourself is the first sign of insanity. Nicole screams and falls over in shock. Nicole says that he’s dead. Deimos confirms that he is because Nicole murdered him, yet here he is. Deimos remarks that Nicole hasn’t changed a bit and asks if he has as he laughs. Nicole asks why he is here. Deimos responds that they have some unfinished business.

Gabi is shocked as she runs in to Zombie Nick Fallon in the park. Nick says he’s not quite in the flesh, but close enough. Nick asks Gabi if she’s missed him. Gabi screams. Nick talks about missing her voice. Gabi says she must be dreaming. Nick asks if she’s dreaming of having her beloved husband back. Gabi guesses this is because she told Jake about him. Nick says he was her first love and husband. Gabi argues that he doesn’t matter and she never thinks about him or says his name. Nick asks if he doesn’t haunt her dreams. Gabi insists that she’s dreaming and just has to wake up. Nick informs her that this isn’t a dream, but her worst nightmare.

Rafe calls Eli and informs him that he has a possible homicide on his hands so he needs Eli and the forensics team on it right away. Eli asks where the body is. Rafe responds that it’s on his kitchen floor.

Tripp meets Ava outside the Brady Pub and asks what’s going on. Ava says he won’t believe her. Tripp tells her to just tell him. Ava responds that she saw his brother. Tripp tells her that she knows Charlie is dead. Ava insists that she saw him and he came for her. Tripp tells her to calm down. Ava repeats that she’s not crazy as Charlie found her at Rafe’s house and killed someone right in front of her.

Allie tries to shut the door on Zombie Charlie but he forces his way in and locks the door, saying she’s not getting rid of him that easily this time.

Ava tells Tripp that he has to believe her. Tripp repeats that Charlie is dead. Ava insists that Charlie is alive or maybe not alive, but he’s back and found her at Rafe’s house. Tripp assures her it’s not possible. Ava repeats that she saw Charlie kill a man. Tripp asks what she’s talking about. Ava claims not to know who the man was but that Charlie stabbed and killed him. Tripp argues that this isn’t making sense and asks if Rafe knows the man. Ava says Rafe wasn’t there, so he didn’t see anything, but she was so scared because after Charlie stabbed the man, he said he was undead and then talked about the night he died and that she didn’t mean that she loved him. Tripp wants to go to the hospital but Ava insists that she’s not crazy and that Charlie said she’d never love him because he’s not Tripp. Ava adds that Charlie grabbed another knife and said he was going to kill her. Ava says he was so calm that she knew he meant it, so she pushed him and ran which is when she called him. Ava tells Tripp that they have to run away because Charlie is going to kill both of them.

Allie tells Charlie that this is sick and insists that Charlie is dead. Charlie says he had to come see her again. Allie asks why he’s doing this to her. Charlie insists that he’s not wearing a mask and talks about how much he hates her. Allie repeats that he’s dead. Charlie says you can’t keep a good man down. Charlie decides that he will identify as undead now. Allie tells him to go away. Charlie says that’s not going to happen and reveals he’s here on a mission. Charlie thinks she knows why he’s here. Charlie declares that he came for his son.

Gabi argues that it can’t be Nick because she killed him. Nick asks which time she’s talking about. Gabi flashes back to when she bashed Nick’s head in with a rock as he almost raped her. Nick goes over how Gabi, Sami, and Kate tossed him in the river, only he wasn’t dead and he came back just like he’s back now.

Deimos remarks that Nicole looks lovely as always and says he’ll never forget how radiant she was in red on the night that she killed him. Nicole asks if Dr. Rolf brought him back. Deimos says the one who brought him back is a hell of a lot more powerful than Dr. Rolf and quite a bit more evil. Nicole asks who but Deimos says that information is classified and he may have said too much already. Deimos adds that Nicole always had a way of getting him to open up and drop his guard. Deimos reminds her of how much he opened up his soul to her. Nicole argues that he didn’t have one. Deimos says he’s often thought that it was really ironic that the woman he wanted to spend his life with, ended his life in cold blood with no remorse, and that didn’t sit well with him so he came to tell her that he still holds a grudge. Nicole argues that she did not murder him in cold blood. Deimos says he was there and totally defenseless when she stabbed him in the heart as she flashes back to that night. Deimos asks if she’s remembering how she plunged the knife in to his chest. Deimos says he was an innocent unarmed man. Nicole argues that he broke laws to take her daughter and used her to get what he wanted. Nicole says she didn’t murder him but put him down like a rabid dog. Deimos argues that she played God and thought she got away with it but it’s over because now she’s face to face with the man that knows she’s a murdering whore and that she was never even charged or punished for what she did. Deimos declares that all ends tonight and guarantees that the punishment is going to fit the crime.

Eli goes to Rafe with the forensics team. Rafe informs Eli that the victim is Carmine Melino, the guy that shot Abe. Eli asks if they know who killed him. Rafe says he just came home and found him dead on his kitchen floor. Rafe thinks back to Gabi telling him to talk to Ava for answers about Carmine. Eli notices Rafe’s look and guesses he knows something. Rafe admits that he does.

Ava tells Tripp that they have to get out of Salem, because Charlie won’t stop until he gets both of them. Tripp insists that Charlie is dead. Ava repeats that Charlie is back and she saw him. Tripp tells her to calm down and says this is just like when Charlie drugged her and she thought she saw Charlie kill him. Ava insists that she wasn’t drugged tonight. Tripp feels it doesn’t matter as she could have hallucinations for years to come because the drugs stay in for a long time. Ava remembers her delusions back then but tells him that tonight was real and she could touch Charlie. Ava starts to worry about Allie and says they need to call Allie to warn her and tell her to grab Henry and run.

Allie tells Charlie that he’s not Henry’s father. Charlie argues that she can’t accuse him of rape and then say Henry is not his. Allie complains that he doesn’t even know Henry. Charlie blames Allie for telling everyone that he was a rapist, so everyone wanted him dead, and he died without knowing who his son was, but now he’s back and she can’t stop him. Charlie says she did everything she could to take Henry away from him so now he’s going to take him away from her. Charlie yells at her to get the hell out of his way as he storms to Henry’s bedroom.

Julie leaves Julie’s Place and is startled when she runs in to Kate as she turns the corner. Julie doesn’t know if Kate was coming by for a late night snack but they are closed. Kate says she actually came to see her which Julie questions. Kate says she was going to call but felt she wouldn’t pick up when she saw it was her, but she wanted to invite Julie to Thanksgiving. Julie jokes about what she would bring. Kate was pretty sure she wouldn’t accept so it was a painless way to extend herself. Kate tells Julie that she’s genuinely sorry for Doug’s situation. Julie thanks her but is sure she didn’t come just to say that. Kate informs her that she came to tell Julie that her cousin, Nick Fallon, is back from the dead.

Nick laughs at Gabi jumping out of her skin when he showed up alive at the church. Nick mocks Gabi and Will having their kid baptized when Gabi is a murderer and Will is gay. Gabi argues that the world is better without him. Nick remarks that she made sure she killed him the second time around. Gabi complains that he was trying to take her and Arianna away from everyone they loved. Nick calls it pre-meditated murder and flashes back to Gabi confessing to the police. Gabi cries that she served her time and paid her debt to society. Nick doesn’t care about society and says he’s talking about her debt to him because she shot him three times and got off on a technicality. Gabi argues that she paid in prison and then when she got out, Julie made sure she kept paying for the rest of her life. Nick says it’s not nearly enough. Nick tells Gabi that he survived the second time she murdered him too and now he’s back to make her pay. Nick remarks that the third time’s the charm.

Allie tries to escape while Charlie comes back out and calls her a bitch, saying she knew that Henry wasn’t in his room. Charlie grabs Allie’s phone from her and says the fun and games are over. Charlie demands she tell him where his son is.

Tripp tells Ava that it’s okay as Henry is in the Pub with Roman and Lucas. Ava wants him to call Allie. Tripp doesn’t want to scare her for no reason and insists that Charlie is dead so he can’t hurt her anymore. Ava repeats that she saw him. Tripp feels she just thought she saw him. Tripp wants to take her home, but Ava says she’s not going home because there is a dead body there. Tripp promises there’s not and says he will go with her to prove it.

Rafe tells Eli that what he needs to know is that there’s a possibility that Ava is involved in this. Rafe says they will know more when they get the time of death, but he thinks they will find that Gabi was with Jake at the police station when Carmine was murdered and that Ava was the only one home. Rafe adds that when Ava was running the Vitali crime family, Carmine worked for her. Eli asks if he thinks Carmine came to see her. Rafe assures it wasn’t to see him so he guesses that Carmine knew Jake was in custody, so he came to see Ava. Rafe adds that Gabi also thinks Ava is the one who helped Carmine get away after he shot Abe. Eli tells Rafe to hand over this case to him. Rafe says he’s just going off what Gabi said to him and it wouldn’t be the first time that she fed him a load of crap. Rafe points out that Ava said she was out of the mob, so she could be jerking him around too. Eli reminds Rafe that he will have to make a statement. Rafe then gets a call and informs Eli that Jake DiMera has escaped lockup. Rafe wonders what Gabi has done this time.

Gabi asks if Nick is going to kill her. Nick says that would be too easy as he decided if he ever had the opportunity, he’d want her to suffer so he has decided to kill her boyfriend, Jake. Nick calls Jake a loser and laughs at Gabi. Gabi argues that Jake’s never done anything to him. Nick calls it collateral damage because Gabi would live the rest of her life, knowing Jake’s blood is on her hands. Gabi begs Nick not to kill Jake. Nick asks her what if it’s already too late.

Nicole grabs a pair of scissors and tells Deimos not to come closer. Deimos asks if she’s going to kill him again. Deimos tells her to go ahead and do her worst. Nicole then stabs Deimos with the scissors. Deimos calls her a bitch and begins choking her, but he is weakened and collapses from being stabbed.

Rafe explains to Eli that when Jake and the cop didn’t show up to his cell, they searched and found the cop knocked out cold while Jake is nowhere to be found. Eli calls it a stupid ass thing for Jake to do. Rafe says that’s if it was Jake. Eli questions Rafe not thinking it was him. Rafe argues that it doesn’t make sense since Jake was cooperating and gave a full confession and seemed guilty that his gun was used to shoot Abe. Rafe adds that he told Jake to be patient and that things would sort themselves out so he seemed to agree. Eli questions Gabi. Rafe notes that he told Gabi to be patient, as if that would ever work. Eli wonders if Gabi would take matters in to her own hands. Rafe declares he’s about to find out.

Julie asks what Kate means by saying Nick is back from the dead. Kate responds that two trick or treaters from the Pub said they saw Nick tonight. Julie argues that they probably just saw another trick or treater dressed like Nick. Kate laughs off the idea of Nick Fallon Halloween costumes and calls him a psycho killer which upsets Julie. Julie tells Kate that instead of being hurtful and nasty, she can try showing a little empathy for a young man who had a difficult life and was traumatized by prison. Kate remarks that Nick then set out to traumatize Gabi in the exact same way. Julie responds that Gabi got her revenge by shooting Nick three times. Julie says Kate may not remember but Nick died in her arms. Kate says that’s allegedly.

Gabi questions what Nick means by saying it’s too late. Nick informs her that after he rose up from his grave, he went to the police station to find Jake. Gabi asks how he knew Jake was there. Nick says she’s getting caught up in the details and asks if she wants to know what he did. Gabi asks what happened. Nick tells her that Jake was being escorted to his cell, so he intercepted him, and it was done quickly. Gabi questions if he already killed Jake.

Allie refuses to ever tell Charlie where Henry is and says he’ll never be in the same room as her son agan. Charlie shouts that he’s his son. Allie says not in any way that matters. Charlie asks if Tripp is the father then and mocks her. Allie blames Charlie for screwing her up but says everyone knows what he did and no one attended his funeral.

Carmine’s body is stretchered out of Rafe’s home in a bodybag as Ava comes home with Tripp. Ava tells Tripp that she told him there was a dead body. Tripp apologizes for not believing her as they see Eli inside. Tripp asks Eli what happened. Eli responds that there’s been a homicide. Tripp asks who it was. Eli informs him that it was Carmine, the man who shot Abe. Eli tells Ava that he’s sorry but he has to take her to the police station for questioning.

Nicole checks Deimos’ body to confirm he is dead again and then decides she needs to call Rafe, so she goes to get her phone.

Allie brings up how Charlie is always whining that his mom loved Tripp best. Charlie tells her to stop it. Allie continues but Charlie screams at her to stop talking about Tripp. Allie says Tripp is everything a mother wants while Charlie is a loser. Charlie grabs her and screams at her to shut up.

Tripp asks why Eli needs to question Ava. Eli explains that Carmine is a former associate of Ava’s, who worked for her when she was in charge of the Vitali Mob. Tripp begins to question Ava. Ava insists that she didn’t kill Carmine and that it was her son Charlie. Eli reminds her that Charlie is dead. Ava responds that she needs to talk to Rafe.

Rafe goes to the police station and questions a cop about Gabi and Jake, who says he saw Gabi say goodbye to Jake. Rafe asks if he actually saw her leave. He confirms that she wasn’t there when they brought Jake out of the interrogation room. The cop says the other officer took Jake away in handcuffs. Rafe questions how Jake knocked him out and where he went. Rafe adds that Gabi isn’t answering his calls and wonders what the hell is going on.

Gabi asks if Nick killed Jake. Nick responds that he has an empty grave so he might as well put it to good use.

Julie questions where Kate gets her good news, reminding her that she was holding Nick as his life drained out of him. Kate says that must have been terribly painful for her. Kate agrees that it’s probably not true that Nick has been restored to life, but notes that he has cheated death before. Julie blames her, Gabi, and Sami for trying to drown him in the river. Kate admits he managed to crawl back out of the water but she thinks it’s highly unlikely that he managed to crawl out of the grave after being shot three times. Kate then points out that she did manage to do that, so maybe Nick pulled off the same trick. Kate says she has to get going and wishes Julie a happy Halloween as she walks away.

Gabi questions Nick burying Jake and asks if he’s dead or alive. Nick suggests asking Jake. Gabi then runs off while Nick remarks that he hopes she’s not too late.

Rafe answers Nicole’s call and says it’s not a good time. Nicole tells Rafe that she needs him now as she’s in her office and it’s an emergency.

Eli informs Ava that Rafe is at the police station so she can talk to him there. Tripp decides if she’s going to the station, he’s coming with her. Ava tells him no and that he has to go find Charlie if the police aren’t going to. Ava reminds Tripp that she told him there was a dead body here and there was. Ava insists that Charlie was there and says she has an awful feeling about Allie. Tripp doesn’t want to leave Ava alone. Ava urges him to just go check and prove her wrong. Ava points out that he won’t lose anything by checking because if he doesn’t and something happens to Allie then he will regret it for the rest of his life.

Charlie complains that Allie thinks she’s so smart and that she thought if she talked about Tripp, it would make him forget about Henry, but she’s not smart and he saw right through it. Charlie asks her one more time where his son is. Allie respond that she will never tell him where he is. Charlie sees that nothing he can do will get her to tell him, so he’ll just have to find him on his own. Allie says he’s not here. Charlie asks if she’s trying to send him away and then call the police as soon as he leaves. Charlie declares that he can’t let that happen so he’s going to have to kill her.

Gabi rushes to the grave to begin trying to uncover the dirt from Jake.

Eli brings Ava to the interrogation room and handcuffs her to the table. Ava insists to Eli that Charlie came back, killed Carmine, and was then going to kill her. Eli suggests she needs a doctor. Ava begs him to send someone to help Tripp and swears to God that she’s telling the truth.

Tripp bursts in to Nicole and Allie’s apartment to find Charlie holding Allie hostage. Tripp orders Charlie to get the hell away from her.

[Knock at door]

Abe: Oh. Yeah.

Nicole: Hi.

Abe: Oh. [Chuckles] Nicole.

Nicole: Oh, well, I see flowers was not an original idea.

Abe: Oh, that’s mostly paulina.

Nicole: Oh, well, I hope you’re not allergic, because the last thing you need to do is start sneezing.

Abe: [Laughs] Oh, ah, these stitches.

Nicole: Are you okay?

Abe: Just don’t make me laugh.

Nicole: Okay. I won’T. So I hear you’re engaged to paulina.

Abe: Oh.

Nicole: Are you happy?

Abe: Believe it or not, this is a happy face.

Nicole: Oh, sorry. I saw lani and theo dragging paulina to the elevator.

Abe: Well, she’s been here for two days straight. She needs some rest.

Nicole: So do you. So if you’re not up for the company, just say so.

Abe: Oh, hey, I am always, always glad to see you.

Nicole: Abe, I am so glad to see you. I was so scared.

Abe: Yeah. Me too. You know, that gun, it just– it just came out of nowhere.

Nicole: Why would jake dimera do that to you?

Abe: I just told rafe. He didn’T.

[Dramatic music]

Jake: Hey, you’re back.

Gabi: Yes. Rafe talked to abe. Tell him.

Rafe: Mayor carver corroborated your statement.

Jake: Thank god.

Rafe: Yeah. He also picked carmine merlino’s picture out of a photo array. Yeah, merlino. Pretty impressive rap sheet, that guy, huh?

Jake: Yeah.

Rafe: Known associate of some major mob types in philadelphia. And we also found his prints on your gun.

Jake: [Laughs] Well, I was afraid that the mayor would forget everything that happened before the shooting.

Gabi: Well, he didn’T. And that’s not the only good news. Go on, tell him.

Rafe: Abe overheard carmine admitting that he’s the one who whacked zanetti, not you.

Jake: [Laughs]

Gabi: And now that he’s been cleared from these bogus charges, will you please take these handcuffs off him?

Rafe: Hmm. Not just yet.

Gabi: What?

Carmine: Hey!

Ava: What are you doing here, huh? This is the police commissioner’s house, for god’s sake.

Carmine: I had to see you.

Ava: You were supposed to be lying low.

Carmine: Don’t get much lower than the town dump. You know how bad that place stinks?

Ava: Yeah, well, no one’s gonna find you there, are they? Thought you liked playing tony soprano.

Carmine: What am I supposed to do, hide out in sewers for the rest of my life?

Gabi: Well, it beats life in prison, doesn’t it? And that’s exactly where you’re headed. Rafe could come home any minute.

Carmine: I don’t think you get what I’m saying, so let me make myself clear. You either find me some five-star accommodation, or you’re gonna wind up in the cell right next to mine.

Allie: A walk through the cemetery? That’s your idea of fun?

Tripp: What, are you scared?

Allie: Me? No.

Tripp: Okay, well, I just thought maybe, you know, that stuff with the ouija board with your brother freaked you out.

Allie: I’m fine.

Tripp: Good. ‘Cause I’ve always, you know, thought it’d be cool to done one of those ghost tour things on halloween.

Allie: Why? I mean, halloween isn’t any different than every other night.

Tripp: Oh, yeah? Okay, let’s go.

Demon marlena: So… little allie horton doesn’t believe in the supernatural… even after what I did to her grandmother. I guess I’ll just have to make her a believer. Rise up. Rise up, charlie dale! And prove to allie that my powers are real.

[Sinister music]

[Laughs] I’ve still got it. Undeniably, unequivocally, I’ve got it.

Charlie: Hail.

[Bones crack] I am at your command.

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

[Soft orchestration]

Gabi: What do you mean not yet? You heard abe. Jake’s innocent.

Rafe: Of attempting to murder abe. But he is guilty of bringing a loaded firearm to a public park, which is against city ordinances, not to mention the fact that the da’s gonna want to speak to him about all his priors with merlino, not to mention the philly pd.

Gabi: [Scoffs] Come on!

Rafe: You know the best way to help yourself? Roll on merlino: Who his friends are, who might want to help him out, that sort of thing.

Jake: Okay, I haven’t had any dealings with the guy in years, I swear.

Gabi: And I told you yesterday that carmine’s mob boss is none other than your precious ava. So if you want answers, why don’t you talk to her?

Ava: I had nothing to do with you shooting the mayor. I didn’t even know you were in salem.

Carmine: Oh, yeah? Well, let’s talk about something you do know, like how you and phil kiriakis wanted me to help you frame jake dimera, all so you could steal your boyfriend’s little sister’s company. I got to hand it to you, boss.

[Laughs] Shacking up with the police commissioner and sticking it to his little sister all at the same time? That’s moxie. But just you wait until he hears about all the stuff you pulled in philly.

Ava: He’s not gonna hear about anything.

Carmine: If I go down for shooting the mayor, I ain’t going alone. I’m taking you with me.

Ava: Oh, you threatening me?

Carmine: Oh, yeah.

Tripp: Okay, okay, so if we cut through the alley, we should be, like, a block north of the cemetery. What, is something wrong?

Allie: I can’t do it. I’m sorry.

Tripp: What? Why didn’t you just say so?

Allie: I’m not superstitious, but cemeteries really creep me out. I mean, I don’t like being surrounded by a bunch of dead people, especially on halloween. I don’t care if they’re six feet under.

Demon marlena: Marlena’s granddaughter needs to be taught a lesson.

Charlie: If you’re talking about allie horton, I’d like to teach her a few lessons myself.

Demon marlena: Ah. I thought you’d be a very good match for the job.

Charlie: I have scores to settle with lots of folks in salem.

Demon marlena: The more mischief you make, the happier I’ll be. So why don’t you just get to it?

Trelegy for copd.

Allie: If you want to go check out the graveyard, you go for it, but I’m gonna wait for you right here.

Tripp: No, no, that’s okay. I’d rather be with you. And besides, I think we could figure out something else to do.

Allie: Something that doesn’t involve graveyards?

Tripp: Are you upset with me?

Allie: No. No, I’m just–

Tripp: Just what?

Allie: Okay, I’m a little upset. When I walked into the hospital, I saw you and chanel talking, and she said that you guys were talking about abe. But you weren’t, were you? You were talking about me.

Nicole: Abe, I’m so sorry it took you getting shot for me to come see you.

Abe: Oh, I– I should’ve checked in with you. How are you? How are you doing?

Nicole: [Chuckles] You’re the one who gets shot, and you’re asking me how I’m doing.

Abe: I heard that you and eric split up. And I–I should’ve called you.

Nicole: I guess you figured out that I never sent him the email.

Abe: The one that you said would end your marriage?

Nicole: I was unfaithful to him. I should’ve known it was gonna come out.

Abe: Well, what are you gonna do? I mean, are you gonna try to work this out?

Nicole: No. We’re getting a divorce.

Abe: For sure?

Nicole: We just realized that we don’t belong together.

Abe: Oh, that makes me sad.

Nicole: Yeah. Me too. No, I’ve lain awake a lot of nights thinking about why it happened.

Abe: What’d you come up with?

Nicole: I know eric loved me. But I wonder now if he really wanted to be married.

Abe: What do you mean?

Nicole: I worked a lot with him at st. Luke’s, and he loved being a priest.

Abe: Well, that got taken away from him.

Nicole: Yes. But he never stopped missing that life. And I think his work in africa made him feel closer to who he was then.

Abe: Yeah. I see what you mean.

Nicole: I–I’m not saying the divorce is his fault. I’m just trying to find a way to forgive myself so that I can move on. I’m seeing someone.

Abe: Is he–is he worthy?

Nicole: I don’t really know how to answer that. It’s ej dimera.

Abe: Are you kidding?

Nicole: I–I’m sorry, abe, if that upsets you. I know you can’t stand him.

Abe: I thought you couldn’t either.

Nicole: I couldn’T. And when things blew up between him and me, I was sure I would never even be in the same room as him.

Abe: What changed?

Nicole: Well, for one thing, he started to pursue me, not the other way around.

Abe: [Sighs] And the other thing?

Nicole: He helps me forget someone else, someone that you would have approved of.

Abe: What went wrong?

Nicole: As usual, my timing is lousy. So by the time I figured out he was the one, another lucky woman snapped him up.

Gabi: So I tell you that ava’s the one that hooked up carmine and philip, yet you go home and tell her nothing.

Rafe: I didn’t go home last night, for the record. I was directing the manhunt for carmine.

Gabi: Ava knows where he is, yet you continue to harass jake and you keep him locked up here for no reason!

Jake: Gabi, it’s okay.

Gabi: No, no, it’s not okay. You think that you have rehabilitated that bitch? But why don’t you just do your job?

Rafe: Oh, I know how to do my job. I called ava, and we are playing phone tag.

Gabi: Phone tag, rafe? Come on! She doesn’t want to answer. She doesn’t want to admit that she was carmine’s mob boss. I will bet you anything she was the one that got carmine to get away.

Ava: Thought you knew better than to threaten your boss.

Carmine: My boss?

Ava: Mm.

Carmine: You? [Laughs] You used to wield a knife with the best of them. But now you’re using it to cut up eggplant in a dump like this. You traded in your gat for a– for a sculabast! So no, I ain’t afraid of you no more.

Ava: You better be.

Demon marlena: And by the way, you haven’t thanked me for bringing you back from the dead. Didn’t your mother teach you any manners?

Charlie: Matter of fact, she skipped manners.

Demon marlena: [Laughs]

Charlie: Thank you for bringing me back from the dead.

Demon marlena: That’s more like it. Now, you know what I want you to do, so get out there and wreak some havoc for me.

Charlie: With pleasure.

Demon marlena: [Laughs]

Instantly clear everyday

congestion

Rafe: That is a huge leap to accuse ava of helping carmine get away.

Gabi: Oh, come on. Ava and philip, they started this whole carmine situation. She reached out to carmine. He told her that garbage about jake killing zanetti. And philip told me flat out that if I didn’t sign over gabi chic, he was gonna use that made-up crap to get jake.

Rafe: And why would ava want to help philip?

Gabi: Because she– she wants to run gabi chic.

Rafe: And you never thought of telling me this?

Gabi: I didn’t want to make more trouble for jake. And mainly I didn’t think you would believe me.

Jake: Hey, everything she’s saying is true.

Rafe: Okay. Why would philip want to get rid of you?

Gabi: Mm, he wants to run gabi chic his own way.

Rafe: You want me to trust you? Why don’t you try telling me the truth for once?

Gabi: What? Wait, where are you going?

Rafe: I’m going to see abe. I will have someone come and take you back to lockup.

[Door slams]

Gabi: [Scoffs]

Jake: [Sighs]

Tripp: What makes you think chanel and i were talking about you?

Allie: Well, I know you both really well. And you clammed up as soon as you saw me, and then you both seemed guilty.

Tripp: Okay. You’re right, I’m sorry. This isn’t really my… favorite subject.

Allie: What isn’t?

Tripp: Me being more into you than you’re into me.

Allie: Because you told me you love me and I couldn’t say it back.

Tripp: I didn’t know you told chanel about that.

Allie: She’s my best friend. And I only told her that because I feel so awful. I mean, not only are you cute and sexy and smart, but you take care of henry in the morning so I can go to work. I mean, you fixed his hole in his blanket.

[Sighs] I’m the luckiest girl in the world to be with a guy like you. And saying “I love you,” I just–it’s not about you.

Tripp: Hey, look, you don’t have to explain anything, okay? I didn’t even want to bring it up. I don’t want you to feel any type of pressure, okay?

Allie: I told you, I’ve never said “I love you” to anyone. And after what charlie did to me… I know it’s awful to say, but I’m glad he’s dead. It’s so much easier to put him out of my mind when I know he’s out of my life forever.

[Suspenseful music]

Demon marlena: [Laughs] Julie williams. I should’ve known. The only mortal dumb enough to have mourned this fallen angel.

[Scoffs] Nicholas fallon. Yeah. Yeah, the one who single-handedly tried to bring down the horton family. You certainly muddied up that name, didn’t you?

[Chuckles] Nice work. I do have one more job for you now, though.

Carmine: Look, if you ain’t gonna help me out, I’m gonna have to take this situation into my own hands.

Ava: Get out.

Carmine: Shut up. I’m gonna take this moppine and I’m gonna wrap it three times around that skinny little neck. The perfect way for a casalinga to go.

[Tense music]

Charlie: Mother, I’m home. We do it every night.

Ava: You–you can’t be here. You’re–you’re dead.

Charlie: And now I’m undead. This guy…he’s dead. Hey, I just saved your life. How about a “thank you, charlie?”

Ava: Thank you.

Charlie: “Charlie.”

Ava: Charlie.

Charlie: Will this make you love me?

Ava: What? I–I told you. I told you the night that you died.

Charlie: Yeah, but i don’t think you meant it. I think you were happy to have me off your hands.

Ava: No.

Charlie: Yeah.

Ava: No.

Charlie: I heard what you said about your poor dead son. You’ll never love me, will you? I’ll never be perfect like your sainted tripp.

Ava: No, no, that’s not true.

Charlie: You don’t exactly seem happy to see me.

Ava: Okay. Okay, this is a nightmare. This is a nightmare. It has to be. This can’t be–this can’t be happening.

Charlie: Oh, it will be. I want you to see the hell that I call home, sweet home.

Ava: Leave me alone!

Charlie: [Grunts]

[Growls]

Abe: So you said that this man who got away is someone I approve of. So I assume that means I know him.

Nicole: Yes. You do. But like I said–

[Knock at door] Rafe?

Rafe: Hey.

Abe: Hey.

Rafe: Listen, I am sorry to interrupt, but I just need to get your statement and I’ll be out of here.

Nicole: You know what? I–I was just gonna head out, let abe get some rest.

Abe: Oh. Well, here. All right. And–

Rafe: Thank you.

Abe: You know, my– my eyelids are getting a little heavy. Look, so glad to see you. Don’t be a stranger.

Nicole: I won’t be. I promise.

Rafe: I’ll see you soon, abe. All right? Take care.

Abe: Yes, sir.

Rafe: You got time for a coffee?

Nicole: Yeah, sure, why not? Yeah.

[Soft dramatic music]

Gabi: I cannot believe him! I mean, here you sit in handcuffs and he hasn’t said a word to ava!

Jake: He loves her. This is probably very hard for him.

Gabi: Oh, first of all, how do you know he loves– no. Second of all, why are you being so nice about him?

Jake: Because, gabi, he’s right. I’m not innocent. I brought carmine to salem and I brought a loaded gun to our meeting in the park.

Gabi: Yeah, but you were just trying to scare him off.

Jake: I know. Carmine took the gun from me and then used it to shoot the mayor.

Gabi: But you didn’t shoot anybody, okay? Not abe, not zanetti. You just–you don’t have it in you, unlike me. I killed nick fallon not once but twice! And he had it coming to him both times!

Demon marlena: Ah, nick fallon. This isn’t your first undead rodeo, is it?

Nick: Yours either, dr. Evans.

Demon marlena: Whoo! Don’t call me by her name! Oh, you have become quite a handsome little devil, haven’t you? Struck down in your prime. And yet there you are, still so young and handsome… and tempting. Better skin from your body wash?

Demon marlena: Mwah.

[Laughs]

Nick: Is that why you raised me from the dead?

Demon marlena: No. That was just a little diversion.

[Gasps] John black must be turning over in his crypt.

Nick: So what do you want me to do?

Demon marlena: If I were to give you one day back on earth, how would you spend it?

Nick: Hmm. If it were up to me, I guess I’d avenge my death.

Demon marlena: [Laughing] Oh! Good idea! And you could start with that little tart gabi hernandez.

Nick: I thought you liked her.

Demon marlena: Well, marlena likes her okay. I guess I’m all right with her when she’s doing my bidding. And I might need one more person to join my little army of the undeads. Of course, she would have to die tonight.

Gabi: Abe’s statement will say you didn’t do anything wrong. Carmine had the gun. Carmine shot abe. My brother’s just too embarrassed to admit that he got suckered by ava. But I know him. I know he’s thinking about it, realizing I’m right.

Jake: You really think ava helped carmine go underground?

Gabi: Who else can make him disappear like that? That bitch has not changed. She is pure evil. Oh, I can see the scene right now. When rafe confronts her, she’s gonna beg and cry. But you know what? This time, rafe is not gonna let her squirm out of this. She is out of the house for good and on her way to prison.

Nicole: Mm. When you said you’d buy me a cup of coffee, I thought you’d take me someplace where there’s decent coffee.

Rafe: Yeah, yeah, I was thinking that too. And yeah, but then I rethought it.

Nicole: ‘Cause I said we should keep our distance for the sake of ava?

Rafe: Yup.

Nicole: Mm-hmm.

Rafe: Right. That. But I do need to ask you some questions.

Nicole: About what?

Rafe: A police matter. And it’s also personal for me. I have reason to believe that the woman I’m living with might be indirectly responsible for abe getting shot.

Nicole: Are you kidding?

Rafe: Yeah, I wish I was. I got to ask you, did ava ever give you any indication that the mob life she left behind wasn’t actually that far behind her?

Nicole: Well, can I ask you what–what got you thinking about that?

Rafe: Gabi. So obviously, I have to be careful. She hates ava, and, well, we both know what she’s capable of when she hates someone. But I got to tell you, after talking with her tonight, I got to think that maybe there’s a chance she’s telling the truth this time. And I’ve been a damn fool.

Tripp: You don’t have to explain anything or apologize for–

Allie: I want you to know this. Those three little words have been on the tip of my tongue so many times. And now I feel like maybe–

[Cell phone ringing]

Tripp: Hang on. It’s my mom. Hey, mom.

Ava: Help me.

Tripp: Mom?

Ava: Please, help me!

Nick: So do you want me to kill her or not?

Demon marlena: I want you to do whatever creates the most misery for the most people. Have you met me? Now, I’m gonna need one more person like you to create this unholy energy. Who could that be?

Nick: Hmm. That’s an interesting name. Greek god of terror.

Demon marlena: Don’t ever use the g-word around me!

Nick: “Greek”?

Demon marlena: Oh, for a smart guy, you’re such a dodo. No! The other g-word.

Nick: Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to offend.

Demon marlena: Mm. Are you still waiting here? I’m thinking. I’m thinking. Can you just go do your job?

Nick: Yes, ma’am. Sir. Sir? Ma’am? Sir?

Demon marlena: I’m not a real person. I don’t have a pronoun. I’m tired of talking. Now, go! Go make evil!

[Unsettling music]

Deimos kiriakis. Another person nobody wants to see again.

[Laughs] Ah, a perfect instrument to carry out my plans.

[Sighs] On the outside, I looked fine.

Deimos: [Breathing heavily]

[Dark music]

Demon marlena: I feel a certain energy emanating–

Deimos: The place where my heart used to be, before the coroner put it in a jar.

Demon marlena: My mark.

Deimos: My half brother, victor, carved it into my chest, said I was the devil.

Demon marlena: Hmm.

Deimos: So he put your mark on me.

Demon marlena: Well, you were much hated in life, but you will be adored in the afterlife. I hereby deputize you.

Deimos: Great. To do what?

Demon marlena: To right all the wrongs done to you, starting with nicole walker. She never, never paid for killing you. She didn’t even tell many people that she’d done it.

[Sighs] Pity. Nicole used to be one of mine. But then she fell in love with marlena’s son. But now her eric has left her. So she’s ripe for the picking. Go. Reap your vengeance.

Deimos: I’ve waited a long time for this.

Nicole: Well, I talk to ava a lot, and…

Rafe: Yeah.

Nicole: She hasn’t said anything that’s made me wonder if she’s still in contact with her family.

Rafe: Huh. What about philip? Have you heard anything from him?

Nicole: No, nothing at all. In fact, philip and brady are at war over chloe, so they’re not exactly confidants.

Rafe: Huh. Well, maybe gabi’s making up stories again. You know, she and ava, it’s like living with two pieces of flint. I never know which spark’s gonna start the fire.

Nicole: I think the best thing that you can do is just talk to ava and try to have an open mind.

Rafe: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that’s– okay, well, thank you for everything, you know.

Nicole: You’re my friend, and I just want you to be happy.

Rafe: Yeah, I want the same for you. So doing something with holly tonight?

Nicole: [Laughs] Nothing, actually. She is having a sleepover at her best friend, rebecca’S. And rebecca’s mom is taking them trick-or-treating first, so that makes rebecca’s mom either a saint or a martyr.

[Laughs] Or maybe both.

Rafe: Maybe.

[Both laugh] So no plans?

Nicole: I’m a little behind on work, so I’m gonna go to the office and try to catch up.

Rafe: Okay. Yeah. Well, you should be able to find some peace and quiet there.

Nicole: Mm-hmm.

Rafe: Yeah. So okay. Well, good seeing you.

Nicole: You too. You know, for what it’s worth…

Rafe: Yeah.

Nicole: I really hope gabi’s wrong about ava.

Rafe: Yeah, me too.

Tripp: Mom, just tell me that you’re okay.

Ava: Meet me at the pub. He’s after me.

Tripp: Who is?

Ava: I have to go.

Tripp: Mom!

Allie: Is something wrong with your mom?

Tripp: Yeah, but i don’t know what. I could barely understand her. I’m so sorry, she wants me to meet her at the pub.

Allie: Yeah, no, right, take off.

Tripp: Thank you for understanding.

Allie: I hope she’s okay.

Tripp: Yeah, me too. I’ll call you.

Jake: All right, that cop’s gonna be here soon to take me back to lockup. You should probably get going.

Gabi: I kind of do want to see what’s going on with rafe, I mean. But I swear to you, this is gonna be over tomorrow. You’re not gonna see the inside of a jail cell.

Jake: Hope you’re right.

Gabi: Hey. I love you.

Jake: [Sighs] Love you.

Gabi: [Smooches] Can’t wait to give you a real kiss tomorrow.

[Suspenseful music]

As someone who resembles someone else,

[Unsettling music]

Demon marlena: Hmm. The two of you must be so proud. Your great-grandson is back in town again, wreaking havoc on the place that you simply cherish. And there’s nothing you can do about it. You know what? Maybe I’ll plan a little family reunion.

[Laughs] Just kidding. No, you can both keep pushing up daisies for eternity.

[Laughs]

[Sighs] I kill myself.

Rafe: Ava, you home? We got to talk.

[Tense music]

Oh, my god.

Tripp: Okay, okay, tell me what’s going on.

Ava: You– you won’t believe me.

Tripp: Just tell me.

Ava: I– I saw your brother.

[Slow knocking]

[Rapid, forceful knocking]

Allie: This trick-or-treater better not wake henry.

[Gasps]

Charlie: Trick.

[Soft music]

Nicole: Oh, duke. I should really get rid of you. We both know that. But I’m not doing that. And why is it? And why am I talking to a stuffed bear?

[Chuckles]

Deimos: You know what they say. Talking to yourself, it’s the first sign of insanity.

Nicole: [Screams]

[Unsettling music]

Gabi: Baby, are you still out trick-or-treating? Oh, you’re having a party instead. All right. No, no, no, I can– no, I can call back. I can call you tomorrow. Yeah, you enjoy. I just wanted to say I love you and I miss you and I’m gonna visit very soon, okay? Hey, listen, will you put daddy will on the phone? I love you with all my heart, baby. Hey, will. Hey, listen, I’m not gonna keep you. I know you’re chaperoning a halloween party. I just wanted to say I cannot believe how grown ari looks in those pictures you posted. I think I’m gonna cry. What? No, it’s nothing. I just had kind of a strange feeling. Listen, you get back to the party. I just wanted to wish you and sonny a happy halloween and tell ari how much I miss her. I’m gonna be visiting very soon, all right? Okay, yes. Yes, you too. Bye. Why do I feel like somebody walked over my grave?

Nick: I know the feeling.

Update written by Joseph

Nicole visits Abe in the hospital and brings him more flowers. Nicole brings up his engagement to Paulina and asks if he’s happy. Abe confirms that he is. Nicole mentions seeing Lani and Theo dragging Paulina to the elevator. Abe says she had been there for 2 days and needs the rest. Nicole asks if he’s not up for company but Abe assures he’s always happy to see her. Nicole tells him that she was so scared. Abe says he was too and that the gun came out of nowhere. Nicole asks why Jake DiMera would do that to him. Abe responds that he just told Rafe, Jake didn’t.

Rafe brings Gabi to Jake in the interrogation room. Rafe announces that Abe just confirmed Jake’s statement and identified Carmine by photo. Rafe talks about Carmine having a rap sheet with major mobsters in Philadelphia and they found his prints on the gun. Jake was afraid that Abe would forget everything that happened. Rafe adds that Abe overheard Carmine admitting that he’s the one who whacked Zanetti, not Jake. Gabi asks Rafe to take the handcuffs off Jake now but Rafe says not yet.

Carmine barges in to Rafe’s house to see Ava. Ava questions what he’s doing at the police commissioner’s house when he’s supposed to be lying low. Carmine complains about being in the town dump. Ava points out that no one would find him there. Carmine questions if he’s supposed to hide out in sewers for the rest of his life. Ava says it beats prison and that’s exactly where he would be headed. Ava warns that Rafe could come home any minute. Carmine doesn’t think Ava gets what he’s saying. Carmine warns Ava to find him some five star accommodations or she will wind up in the cell right next to his.

At the hospital, Tripp invites Allie to a walk through the cemetery on Halloween as he always thought a ghost tour would be cool. Allie blows off Halloween as no different than any other night…

In the cemetery, Devil Marlena brings up Allie not believing in the supernatural and guesses he’ll just have to make her a believer. The Devil then stands over Charlie Dale’s grave and calls for Allie’s rapist, Charlie, to rise up and prove that his powers are real. A hand then emerges from Charlie’s grave. The Devil laughs and declares he’s still got it. Charlie then rises from his grave and tells the Devil that he is at his command.

Gabi questions Rafe not letting Jake go when he’s innocent. Rafe says that Jake is innocent of attempting to murder Abe but he is guilty of bringing a loaded firearm to a public park which is against the city law and the district attorney will also want to speak with him about his priors from Philadelphia. Rafe suggests Jake roll over on Carmine and reveal who he deals with. Jake swears he hasn’t dealt with him in years. Gabi reminds Rafe that she told him that Carmine’s mob boss is Ava, so if he wants answers, he should talk to her.

Ava tells Carmine that she had nothing to do with him shooting Abe and didn’t even know he was in Salem. Carmine argues that she and Philip wanted him to help frame Jake, all so she could steal her boyfriend’s sister’s company. Carmine warns Ava to wait until she hears about all the stuff she pulled in Philadelphia. Ava says he won’t hear about anything but Carmine says if he goes down for shooting Abe, he’s taking her down with him. Ava asks if he’s threatening her which he admits to.

Tripp and Allie walk through the town square on their way to the cemetery but Allie stops and says she can’t do it. Allie says she’s not superstitious but the cemetery creeps her out as she doesn’t like being surrounded by a bunch of dead people, especially on Halloween.

The Devil informs Charlie that Allie needs to be taught a lesson. Charlie responds that he’d like to teach her a lesson himself. The Devil thought he’d be perfect for the job. Charlie remarks that he has scores to settle with lots of people in Salem. The Devil tells him the more mischief he makes, the happier he will be, so he tells him to get to it.

Allie tells Tripp that he can check out the graveyard if he wants but she’ll wait here. Tripp decides he’d rather be with her and thinks they can come up with something else to do. Tripp asks if Allie is upset with him. Allie says no and then admits she’s a little upset because when she went to the hospital, she saw him talking to Chanel and she said they were talking about Abe but she guesses they were talking about her.

Nicole tells Abe that she’s so sorry that it took him getting shot for her to come see him. Abe feels he should’ve checked in with her and asks how she’s doing. Nicole says Abe got shot and he’s asking how she’s doing. Abe mentions hearing that her and Eric split up and says he should’ve called her. Nicole guesses he figured out that she never sent the e-mail that would end her marriage. Nicole admits that she was unfaithful and should’ve known it would come out. Abe asks if she’s going to try to work this out. Nicole says no and confirms they are getting a divorce because they realized they don’t belong together. Abe says that makes him sad. Nicole talks about lying awake at night thinking about why it happened. Nicole knows Eric loved her but she wonders now if he really wanted to be married. Nicole says she worked a lot with him at the church and he loved being a priest. Abe brings up that it was taken away from him. Nicole feels Eric never stopped missing that life and that his work in Africa made him feel closer to who he was then. Nicole says she isn’t saying the divorce is his fault but she’s just trying to forgive herself so she can move on. Nicole then reveals to Abe that she is seeing someone. Abe asks if he’s worthy. Nicole doesn’t know how to answer that and informs Abe that it’s EJ. Abe asks if she’s kidding. Nicole apologizes if that upsets him because she knows he can’t stand EJ. Abe thought she couldn’t either. Nicole admits she couldn’t and when things blew up between them, she was sure she’d never be in the same room as him. Abe asks what changed. Nicole explains that he started to pursue her, not the other way around, and he helped her get over someone else that he would’ve approved of. Abe asks what went wrong. Nicole says her timing was lousy so by the time she figured out he was the one, another lucky woman snapped him up.

Gabi questions Rafe not telling Ava anything. Rafe explains that he didn’t go home as he was directing the manhunt for Carmine. Gabi argues that Ava knows where Carmine is but he continues to harass Jake. Gabi tells Rafe to do his job. Rafe informs her that he tried calling Ava. Gabi argues that Ava doesn’t want to answer because she’d have to admit that she was Carmine’s mob boss. Gabi bets that Ava is the one who helped Carmine get away.

Ava questions Carmine threatening his boss. Carmine says she used to be the boss but she traded that life in, so he’s not afraid of her anymore. Ava warns that he better be.

The Devil points out that Charlie hasn’t thanked him for bringing him back from the dead. Charlie then thanks him. The Devil tells him that he knows what he wants him to do, so he orders Charlie to get out there and wreak some havoc for him. Charlie agrees to with pleasure and walks off as the Devil laughs.

Rafe tells Gabi that it’s a huge leap to accuse Ava of helping Carmine get away. Gabi insists that Ava and Philip started this whole mess by bringing Carmine in to get dirt on Jake. Gabi adds that Philip told her that if she didn’t sign over her company, he would use that crap to get Jake. Rafe asks why Ava would want to help Philip. Gabi says that Ava wants to run Gabi Chic. Rafe questions her not telling him this. Gabi says she didn’t want to make more trouble for Jake and she didn’t think Rafe would believe her. Jake adds that everything she’s saying is true. Rafe questions why Philip would want to get rid of Gabi. Gabi claims he just wants to run Gabi Chic his own way. Rafe tells her to tell him the truth for once. Rafe decides he’s going to see Ava and will have someone take Jake back to lockup as he exits the room.

Tripp questions what makes Allie think that he and Chanel were talking about her. Allie says she knows them both really well and they clammed up as soon as they saw her and then they seemed guilty. Tripp then admits it and apologizes. Tripp says it’s not his favorite subject but it’s him being more in to her than she’s in to him. Allie guesses it’s because he said I love you and she didn’t say it back. Tripp didn’t know she told Chanel about that. Allie explains that Chanel is her best friend and she only told her because she feels so awful since Tripp is cute, sexy, smart, and takes care of Henry. Allie calls herself the luckiest girl in the world to be with a guy like him but saying “I love you” is not about him. Tripp assures that she doesn’t have to explain anything and he didn’t even want to bring it up because he doesn’t want to pressure her. Allie reminds him that she’s never said “I love you” to anyone, and after what Charlie did to her, she’s glad he’s dead because it’s so much easier to put him out of her mind when she knows he’s out of her life forever…

Devil Marlena stands over Nick Fallon’s grave and disregards a note that Julie had left there. The Devil talks about Nick bringing down the Horton family and declares he has one more job for him now..

Carmine warns Ava that if she isn’t going to help him out, he’s going to have to take the situation into his own hands. Ava tells him to get out. Carmine tells her to shut up and grabs a rag, threatening to wrap it around her neck. Charlie then appears and stabs Carmine in the chest with a knife. Charlie then declares to Ava, “Mother, I’m home”, leaving her in shock. Ava says he can’t be there as he’s dead. Charlie responds that now he’s undead while Carmine is dead. Charlie says he just saved Ava’s life and suggests she thank him, so she does. Charlie asks if this will make her love him. Ava says she told him she did on the night he died. Charlie thinks she was happy that he was off her hands and says he heard what she said about him. Charlie guesses she’ll never love him and he’ll never be perfect like Tripp. Charlie adds that she doesn’t exactly seem happy to see him. Ava argues this has to be a nightmare and can’t be happening. Charlie says it will be as he wants her to see the hell that he calls home. Charlie approaches her with a knife but Ava shoves him and runs out of the house.

Abe questions Nicole about the man that got away being someone he approves of. Abe assumes that means he knows him which Nicole confirms. They get interrupted by Rafe entering the room. Rafe says he’s sorry to interrupt but he needs to get Abe’s statement and then he’ll be out. Nicole decides that she was just heading out to let Abe get some rest. Abe quickly signs his statement for Rafe and admits his eyes are getting heavy. Abe tells Nicole that he was so glad to see her and not to be a stranger. Nicole promises not to be. Rafe tells Abe that he’ll see him soon. Rafe asks Nicole if she has time for a coffee, which she agrees to as they exit the room.

Gabi cannot believe Rafe left Jake in handcuffs while not saying a word to Ava. Jake understands Rafe loves Ava so it’s probably very hard on him. Gabi questions Jake being so nice about Rafe. Jake acknowledges that Rafe is right that he’s not innocent since he brought Carmine to Salem and brought a loaded gun to their meeting in the park. Jake adds that Carmine took the gun from him and shot Abe. Gabi argues that Jake didn’t shoot anybody and doesn’t have it in him, unlike her, as she killed Nick Fallon not once but twice and remarks that he had it coming to him both times.

The Devil rises Nick Fallon from his grave and remarks that this is not his first undead rodeo. Nick calls Marlena “Dr. Evans”, but the Devil says not to call him by her name. The Devil says Nick was struck down in his prime but he’s still so young, handsome, and tempting as Devil Marlena then grabs Nick and kisses him. Nick asks if that’s why he was risen from the dead. The Devil says that was just a little diversion and remarks that John must be turning over in his crypt. Nick asks what he is to do. The Devil asks how Nick would spend it if he was given one day on Earth. Nick guesses he would avenge his death. The Devil calls that a good idea and suggests starting with Gabi. Nick thought Marlena liked Gabi. The Devil says that Marlena likes her and he’s alright with her when she’s doing his bidding. The Devil decides he might need one more person to join his Army of the Undeads, but she would have to die tonight…

Gabi argues that Jake did nothing wrong since Carmine had the gun and shot Abe while Rafe is just too embarrassed to admit that he got suckered by Ava, but she knows he’s thinking that she’s right. Jake asks if she really thinks Ava helped Carmine go underground. Gabi asks who else could make Carmine disappear like that. Gabi argues that Ava has not changed and calls her pure evil. Gabi says when Rafe confronts Ava, she will beg and cry, but this time Rafe won’t let her squirm her way out of this, so she will be out of the house for good and on her way to prison.

Rafe and Nicole have coffee at the hospital. Nicole jokes that she thought Rafe meant going to a place with decent coffee. Rafe says he thought about that but remembered Nicole saying they should keep their distance for Ava’s sake, but he does need to ask her some questions about a police matter that’s also personal for him. Rafe tells her that he has reason to believe the woman he’s living with might be indirectly responsible for Abe getting shot. Nicole asks if he’s kidding. Rafe wishes he was. Rafe asks her if Ava gave her any indication about the mob life she left behind not actually being that far behind her. Nicole questions what got him thinking about that. Rafe admits it was Gabi, so he has to be careful because Gabi hates Ava and they know what she’s capable of when she hates someone. Rafe adds that after talking with Gabi tonight, he has to think maybe there’s a chance she’s telling the truth this time and he’s been a damn fool.

Tripp tells Allie that he doesn’t have to explain or apologize for anything. Allie wants him to know this because those three words have been on the tip of her tongue and now she feels like maybe. They get interrupted by Tripp getting a call from Ava, begging him to help her.

Nick asks the Devil if he wants him to kill Gabi or not. The Devil wants him to do whatever creates the most misery for the most people. The Devil says he will need one more person like him to create this unholy energy and asks who that could be. Nick looks over at the grave of Deimos Kiriakis and calls him the Greek God of Terror. The Devil tells him to never say the G word around him. The Devil then says he’s thinking and tells Nick to go do his job. Nick is confused whether to call the Devil ma’am or sir. The Devil responds that he’s not a real person so he doesn’t have a pronoun. The Devil is tired of talking and instructs Nick to go make evil so he walks away. Devil Marlena then looks down at the grave of Deimos and calls him another person that nobody wants to see again, so he’d be a perfect instrument to carry out his plans. Deimos is then risen from his grave. The Devil feels a certain energy from him. Deimos says it’s where his heart used to be before the coroner put it in a jar. The Devil rips open Deimos’ shirt and recognizes his mark on Deimos’ chest. Deimos explains that Victor carved it in to his chest and said he was the Devil. The Devil says Deimos was much hated in life but will be adored in the afterlife. The Devil then instructs Deimos to right all the wrongs done to him, starting with Nicole, because she never paid for killing him and didn’t even tell many people that she did it. The Devil says that Nicole used to be one of his, then she fell in love with Marlena’s son, but now Eric has left her so she is ripe for the picking. The Devil orders Deimos to go reap his vengeance. Deimos declares that he’s waited a long time for this…

Nicole tells Rafe that she talked to Ava a lot and she hasn’t done anything to make her wonder if she’s still in contact with her family. Rafe asks if Nicole heard anything from Philip. Nicole says nothing at all since Philip and Brady are at war over Chloe. Rafe suggests maybe Gabi is making up stories again and remarks that living with Gabi and Ava is like never knowing which spark is gonna start the fire. Nicole thinks the best thing Rafe can do is just talk to Ava and try to have an open mind. Rafe agrees and thanks her for everything. Nicole responds that Rafe is her friend and she just wants him to be happy. Rafe wants the same for her and asks if she’s doing something with Holly tonight. Nicole says that Holly has a sleepover with her best friend Rebecca and Rebecca’s mom is taking them trick or treating. Rafe asks if she has no plans then. Nicole mentions being behind on work, so she’s going to the office to try and catch up. Rafe guesses she can find peace and quiet there. Rafe tells her it was good seeing her. Nicole adds that she really hopes Gabi is wrong about Ava. Rafe says he does too.

Tripp asks if Ava is okay. Ava asks Tripp to meet her at the Pub because he’s after her. Tripp asks who is. Ava says she has to go and hangs up. Allie asks Tripp if something is wrong with his mom. Tripp says he could barely understand her but she wants him to meet her at the Pub. Tripp thanks Allie for understanding. Allie hopes she’s okay. Tripp says he’ll call her as he rushes off.

Jake tells Gabi that the cop will be in soon to take him back to lockup, so she should probably get going. Gabi wants to see what’s going on with Rafe and Ava. Gabi swears to Jake that this will be over tomorrow and he won’t see the inside of a jail cell. Jake hopes she’s right. Gabi says she loves him. Jake says he loves her. Gabi can’t wait to give him a real kiss tomorrow as she then exits the room.

Devil Marlena walks through the cemetery and comes across Tom and Alice’s graves. The Devil remarks that they must be so proud since their great grandson is back in town, wreaking havoc on the place they cherish, and there is nothing they can do about it. The Devil suggests planning a family reunion, then says just kidding as they can keep pushing up daisies for eternity.

Rafe goes home looking for Ava but finds Carmine dead on the floor with a knife in his chest.

Tripp meets Ava outside the Brady Pub and asks what’s going on. Ava says he won’t believe her. Tripp tells her to just tell him. Ava responds that she saw his brother.

Allie answers the door at home and is shocked to see Zombie Charlie.

Gabi walks through the park, finishing a call with her daughter Arianna. Gabi has her put Will on the phone and talks about how grown Arianna looks. Gabi says she just wanted to wish he and Sonny a happy Halloween and notes that she will be visiting very soon. Gabi hangs up and then remarks that she feels like someone walked over her grave. Gabi then runs in to Zombie Nick, who says he knows the feeling.

Ben visits his sister Jordan’s grave and says he often thinks about how good of a sister she was when they were kids and now he’s thinking about having kids of his own, so he really wants to give them a better life than they had, so they don’t end up how they did. Ciara joins Ben and asks if he’s okay.

Johnny and Allie question the Ouija board saying the Devil is in the DiMera Crypt. Johnny then asks the spirits if the Devil is at the DiMera Crypt and the board goes to Yes.

The Devil thought it would be fitting to bring John to the DiMera Crypt as his last resting place. The Devil says Marlena stopped him from killing John at the chapel but now he’s back to finish what he started. John says he can’t. The Devil responds that he can and will. The Devil adds that John may have banished him three decades ago but he’s back now and John is no match for him as he then chokes John.

Ciara tells Ben that she got his text so she knew he would be here and adds that he could’ve asked her to come with him. Ben says that Jordan terrorized her so he wouldn’t ask her to come pay her respects. Ciara understands Jordan was sick. Ben says he was too and credits Marlena and Ciara for him still being here. Ciara asks if Ben really came just to visit Jordan or if he’s still afraid that their baby might end up here.

Shawn tells Belle that he told Ciara that they would meet them at the Pub after Belle was done visiting her parents. Shawn asks how they are doing. Belle responds that she only saw her mom, who said John left town on a mysterious mission. Belle adds that Marlena seemed okay but remarks that she’s taking kind of a “devil may care” attitude since she was literally dressed as the Devil. Shawn calls that an odd choice for a Halloween costume, given her history. Belle then reveals to Shawn that Johnny’s movie project is now “Possessed: The Marlena Evans Story”. Shawn can’t believe it and wonders how John feels about that. Belle guesses John can’t be happy about it but Marlena seems totally into it. Belle suggests maybe Marlena is really happy to exorcise those demons once and for all.

Allie tells Johnny that the game is stupid and she thinks he’s just trying to freak her out. Johnny assures he wouldn’t do that. Allie calls the Ouija board fake. Johnny says the only way to find out is for them go to the Crypt and look for the Devil.

John tells the Devil that he’ll never get away with this because his family will never stop looking for him. The Devil argues that John is underestimating him because he’s gone to great lengths to make sure he doesn’t trip her up this time. The Devil adds that Belle is back in town and wanted to reunite with John, but he had Marlena explain that he’s on an extended business trip and soon, Marlena will be notified that John died in a terrible mishap overseas. The Devil declares that no one will have any idea that he was the one who ended John’s life.

Tony goes in to the living room of the DiMera Mansion where he startles Anna, who is reading Johnny’s movie script. Anna asks if he’s read it and says it’s incredible. Anna insists that they really need to be involved in the movie. Tony reminds her that they can’t because EJ wants Johnny to work at DiMera, not making movies. Anna reveals that’s old news as EJ is not only investing in the movie now, he is playing the role of John Black. Anna declares that if EJ can be in the movie, she thinks Tony should be too. Anna wants to call Johnny now but Tony stops her.

Allie refuses to go to the DiMera Crypt. Johnny asks if she is scared of coming face to face with the Devil. Allie says she already has plans with Tripp and asks if he’s scared to go alone. Johnny says he’s not scared but inspired, as there’s no better way to research his film than to come face to face with the Devil himself and he intends on getting it all on film. Allie feels he’s wasting his time. Johnny asks why the spirits would tell them that the Devil is at the Crypt if he’s not. Allie argues that there are no spirits and there’s nothing in the Crypt. Johnny says they will see about that.

John tries to get through to Marlena. The Devil says Marlena tried fighting him yesterday and it was a valiant effort, but she fell short. John knows she’s still in there fighting and urges her to keep fighting for their love.

Ben tells Ciara that he can’t pretend he’s completely over his worries about having a kid and thinking about how Jordan turned up but he has to trust that Ciara’s goodness will shine through. Ciara encourages that their baby will have a house full of love unlike Ben and Jordan had. Ciara calls the place kind of creepy as Ben acknowledges that they are in a cemetery on Halloween night. Ciara mentions Shawn and Belle wanted to have dinner at the Pub but she understands if he’s not up to it. Ben tells her that he wants to see them and he’s sure. Ben decides he’s said what he needed to say to Jordan and he feels a lot better. Ben and Ciara then walk away from the grave.

Ciara and Ben meet Shawn and Belle at the Brady Pub. Shawn mentions that Abe is doing a lot better. Ciara brings up Jake being brought in for the shooting and says it’s so crazy because they were with Gabi and Jake right before the shooting as they were going to have breakfast. Shawn asks if Jake was acting strangely or if seemed agitated at all. Ben explains that Ciara was inside with Gabi and he was with Jake right before he left. Shawn asks if Jake said anything that he could use in the investigation.

Anna questions Tony not wanting to be in Johnny’s movie. Tony reminds her that Abigail is playing Marlena. Anna suggests he can rewrite his character and he’d be in a pivotal role. Tony disagrees but Anna insists and goes over the story of how Tony was married to Kristen while Kristen was secretly in love with John.

The Devil continues to choke John as John pleads for help. The Devil tells him that no one is coming for him and he can feel the life draining out of his body. Johnny arrives at the Crypt and tries to enter but it’s locked. Johnny finds that weird as there always used to be a key in the lock. The Devil demands John let go. John says never. Johnny then knocks on the door, asking if Lucifer is in there. John tries yelling for help so the Devil backhands John. Johnny introduces himself and says he’d love to meet the Devil if he’s in there. Johnny is about to give up when suddenly the door opens and Marlena walks out dressed as the Devil, confusing Johnny.

Shawn asks Ben what Jake said to him outside. Ben responds that Jake told him he had something to take care of and then he took off. Shawn asks if Ben suspected something was wrong. Ben says he’s just telling him everything Jake told him. Shawn tells him to let him know if he thinks of anything else. Ciara questions Shawn coming to give the third degree or to enjoy the food and hear about their honeymoon. Belle agrees with Ciara. Ciara praises New Orleans for their honeymoon. Shawn hopes they went to all the places Bo and Hope went to, which Ciara confirms including Oak Alley. Shawn asks what else they did. Ben jokes that they did the usual honeymoon stuff as they helped the ISA recover a stolen gemstone. Ciara calls that a really long story that she’ll tell them about later but right now they have some really special news to share. They ask what it is. Ciara says as wonderful as the trip ended up being, it helped them come to a pretty big life changing decision about their future. Ciara then announces they are trying to have a baby which excites Belle and Shawn.

Johnny questions what Marlena is doing here and dressed like that. Marlena says she finished his script and wanted him to know she liked it. Johnny thanks her but says that still doesn’t explain what she’s doing in the DiMera Family Crypt. Marlena claims that he wasn’t home so she decided to take a stroll and then found the key in the lock here so she decided to take a moment to pay respects to his grandfather. Johnny questions her being dressed as the Devil. Marlena claims it’s just a Halloween costume that she did for him. Marlena talks about finding his script powerful and accurate. Johnny notes that the Crypt could be a really cool location for his movie. Johnny starts to head inside when Marlena forcefully grabs his arm, warning him not to go in there. Johnny questions the problem with him going inside. John remains tied up.

Tony tells Anna that a less confident man would feel threatened by her referring to John as sexy. Anna says she’s just being honest about how it was 30 years ago and how John was to Kristen according to the script. Anna says that Kristen was deeply conflicted. Tony thought the movie was about Marlena. Anna feels Kristen drives the action as she’s one of the first to recognize that evil has come to Salem. Tony wonders who Johnny will cast as Kristen. Anna feels there’s only one person perfect for the role and that’s her. Tony decides he needs a drink. Tony questions Anna wanting to play Kristen. Anna says if Tony is playing Tony, it just makes sense. Tony reminds her that Kristen left “Tony” for John. Anna points out that “Tony” was really Andre then. Anna doesn’t know why it matters and why Tony is being so resistent. Tony is not enthusiastic about revisiting a dark chapter in his family’s history. Anna suggests they can ask Johnny to rewrite their subplot to highlight their love story and in this version, they can end up living happily ever after just like them as they kiss.

Marlena tells Johnny that there is something in the Crypt that she doesn’t want him to see and claims there’s a big rat inside. Johnny says he’s not scared of a rat and is writing one in to his movie as some people call rats “the devil’s disciples.” Marlena thinks there are non rodent disciples and suggests Johnny stay away from there. Johnny asks if she’s sure she didn’t see anything else in there. Marlena says she doesn’t think so and locks the Crypt. She then questions what brought Johnny out here. Johnny says it will sound weird. Marlena says not much surprises her. Johnny then explains that he and Allie were using a Ouija board and they asked it if the Devil is in Salem and the board spelled out that he was here at this Crypt. Marlena jokes that the spirits are on to her because of her costume. Johnny asks if Marlena believes in it. Marlena guesses she should after what happened to her and says she’d be crazy not to believe in the supernatural being real. Johnny says that’s why he’s making his movie. Marlena knows he has skeptics but thinks it’s important that he carry out his vision. Marlena remarks that the movie will let people know there are forces out there that people can’t understand and that they have no idea of what the Devil is capable of doing.

Ciara and Ben assure Shawn and Belle that they put a lot of thought in to this decision. Ben talks about his mental illness history and how Marlena reassured him that the love they give their child will be what’s most important. Ben says Marlena told them to have a child and ever since then she’s been really making sure they are moving forward with the plan. Ciara comments that Marlena has been really invested in her having a baby. Belle notes that Marlena doesn’t usually tell people what to do or make it so personal. Shawn yawns so Ciara asks if all this baby talk is making him tired or boring him. Shawn says he’s got jet lag and suggests they go home and continue this another time. Ben tells him to go ahead and get some sleep as they hug. Belle wishes them luck with the baby making. Belle and Shawn then exit the Pub together. Ben questions Ciara barely touching her food. Ciara responds that she’s actually not that hungry and her stomach has been funky all day. Ben asks if she’s not feeling well. Ciara thinks it might be something else and reveals that she stopped by to get a pregnancy test before she came to find him.

Anna asks Tony if they should offer their services to Johnny and request a rewrite. Tony says if he takes out the conflict between Tony and Kristen, it waters down the story. Anna feels he is intrigued. Tony doesn’t think an audience would like to see a married couple drinking champagne and talking about how in love they are. Anna disagrees and thinks people love to watch other people in love. Tony jokes that Anna knows more about drama than he does. Anna suggests she find a good scene to rehearse together and then they will be prepared to pitch to Johnny. Tony questions if he will really want to cast them. Anna thinks he’ll be begging to have them on camera.

Johnny asks if he can take a picture of Marlena in her costume because Allie told him that the Ouija board was nonsense and that he wasn’t going to find anything out here, so he wants to show her that she was wrong. Marlena points out that he didn’t find the Devil. Johnny says she was here dressed like that so the Spirits didn’t lie. Johnny hears a noise from inside and asks if Marlena heard that. Inside, John tries to break free from being tied up. Marlena claims she didn’t hear anything but Johnny feels he heard chains. Marlena jokes that maybe it’s the spirits. Johnny doesn’t think ghosts rattle chains and questions her not hearing that. Marlena says it’s his imagination and tells him he will make a wonderful movie. Johnny suggests they get out of here. Marlena tells him to go ahead and she’ll catch up, so Johnny exits. The Devil then declares that he will deal with John another time.

Belle and Shawn return home. Shawn can’t believe Ciara is going to be a mom. Belle says she’s so happy for them. Shawn mentions that it sounds like Marlena really helped them out. Belle is glad Marlena was able to be there for them, but thinks it’s strange that Marlena keeps following up to make sure they are still trying to have a baby. Shawn thinks it makes sense since she’s always been really invested in Ben’s health and happiness. Belle feels Marlena seems a little overly invested in them having a child.

Ben asks if Ciara really thinks she could be pregnant now already. Ciara notes that she is a day late. Ben guesses they should take home so she can take the test. Ciara says she could take it right now and encourages Ben to breathe. Ciara tells him it will be okay as she kisses him. Ciara says she’ll be right back and heads to the restroom as Ben remains nervous.

Tony tells Anna that all this talk about the past reminds him of when he first came to Salem. They can’t believe that was 40 years ago. Anna remarks that a lot of crazy things have happened since then. Tony says the most wonderful thing of all was falling in love with her and that marrying her was the smartest thing he ever did as they flash back to their marriage. Tony repeats that coming to Salem was the best decision he ever made. Tony calls Anna the light of his life. Anna tells him to never forget it as they kiss.

Devil Marlena remarks that it was so nice to be back among the dead tonight, especially the really bad ones. The Devil comes across Jordan’s grave and says it looks like Ben came to visit his sister. The Devil declares that soon, Jordan won’t be the only bad seed in the family…

Ciara returns from the restroom and kisses Ben. Ben asks if it was just a stomach ache and suggests it was too soon anyways. Ciara then reveals the pregnancy test is positive and announces they are having a baby. They get excited as Ben tells her that he loves her and loves that they are about to have a baby together. Ben and Ciara then kiss.

Devil Marlena picks up the flowers Ben left at Jordan’s grave and tosses them aside. The Devil then declares that Ben’s child will be his and nothing can stop that, not Marlena and certainly not John.

John continues to struggle with being tied up in the crypt, saying he’s got to get out of here and save Marlena. John declares that he has to save all of Salem from pure evil.

Devil Marlena brings up Allie not believing in the supernatural and guesses he’ll just have to make her a believer. The Devil then stands over Charlie Dale’s grave and calls for Allie’s rapist, Charlie, to rise up and prove that his powers are real. A hand then emerges from Charlie’s grave.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Belle: Shawn? Hmm. Shawn, are you here? Hello? Who’s here?

Shawn: Boo!

Belle: Oh, my god!

Shawn: Not exactly the reaction I was hoping to get when I’m half naked. Oh, happy halloween.

Belle: Oh, my god. You are so gonna pay for that.

Shawn: Am I? How so, hmm?

Belle: Hmm, I’ll have to think of a few ways.

Shawn: Oh…

Belle: I thought we had to go have dinner with ciara and ben.

Shawn: We do. We do, and it sounds like she has some news for us.

Belle: Hmm.

[Melancholy music]

Ben: Hey, jordan. I often think about how good of a sister you really were to me when we were kids. Nowadays, I’m trying to have kids of my own. And I really just wanna make sure I can give them a better life than we ever had so they don’t end up the way that I did… or you did.

Ciara: Hey.

Ben: Hey.

Ciara: Are you okay?

Allie: So the devil’s at the dimera crypt?

Johnny: That was a more specific answer than I was expecting.

Allie: And you didn’t make that happen?

Johnny: No, no. Look, I mean, I’ll do it again. Spirits, is the devil at the dimera crypt?

[Eerie music]

Demon marlena: I thought it was fitting to bring you here as your last resting place. Marlena stopped me from killing you in the chapel, but now I’m back to finish what I started.

John: [Laughs] No, you can’T.

Demon marlena: I can, and I will. Come on, don’t be upset about this. You’ve had a good run. You may have vanquished me three decades ago, but I’m back now, and you are no match for me.

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

[Soft orchestration]

Ciara: I got your text. So I knew you would be here.

Ben: Yeah.

Ciara: You could have asked me to come with you, you know.

Ben: Ciara, jordan terrorized you. I wouldn’t expect you to wanna come here and pay your respects.

Ciara: Ben, she was sick.

Ben: I was sick.

Ciara: Yes, but the difference is, you got help and you overcame your mental illness.

Ben: Thanks to dr. Evans, you, your love, and your belief. That’s the only reason why I’m here.

Ciara: Can I ask you a question? Did you really come here just to visit jordan? Or are you still afraid that our baby might end up like her?

Shawn: So I told ciara that we’ll meet up at the pub after you’re done visiting your parents. How are they doing, by the way?

Belle: Well, unfortunately, I only saw my mom. My dad has left town on some, I don’t know, mysterious mission.

Shawn: Yeah? Did she say how long? I mean, I know it’s hard on her when he’s away.

Belle: Yeah, no, she seemed okay. I think she’s taking kind of a devil-may-care attitude, actually.

Shawn: What does that mean?

Belle: Well, for starters, she was literally dressed as the devil. Mm-hmm. She had like the horns and the tail and the whole weird glowy contact thing.

Shawn: That’s sort of a pretty odd choice for halloween costume, you know, considering her history.

Belle: Yeah. That’s what I said, but she said it was cathartic for her to own her past.

Shawn: Mm-hmm, okay. Whatever. I mean, she’s the expert, so…

Belle: She also said that she was supporting johnny’s new movie project, “possessed: The marlena evans story.”

Shawn: Hold on. Wait a minute. Wait, so she’s–like she’s letting johnny make a movie about her possession?

Belle: Apparently.

Shawn: But how does your dad feel about that? I mean, he can’t feel okay. I mean, dredging up their history and that awful time in their life?

Belle: I don’t know. I mean, he can’t be happy about it, but she’s totally into it. I don’t know. Maybe she’s really happy to just exorcise those demons once and for all.

Allie: This game is stupid.

Johnny: It’s not a game. You saw what the board did.

Allie: You’re just trying to freak me out on halloween.

Johnny: I wouldn’t do that. Not about this.

Allie: Well, I don’t care what you say, okay? The ouija board’s fake.

Johnny: Only one way to find out. Let’s go to the crypt and look for the devil.

John: You’ll never get away with this. All my family will never stop looking for me.

Demon marlena: You underestimate me again, john. It’s a fatal flaw. I’ve gone to great lengths to make sure that you don’t trip me up this time. You know what? Your beloved tink is back in town. And she wanted to reunite with her father.

John: You saw–you saw izzy?

Demon marlena: Yes, I did. Marlena explained to her that you were on an extended business trip.

John: No.

Demon marlena: Yes. And soon marlena will be notified that there was a terrible mishap overseas, that her beloved husband, that john, died in some mysterious mission. Boo-hoo-hoo-hoo. Everybody will grieve. They’ll light candles and they’ll say prayers. And they’ll say, “oh no, no. Why did you take that wonderful, amazing, loving man?” They’ll have no idea that I was the one who ended your life while you’re all chained up like a dog.

John: [Gagging] As someone who resembles someone else,

Anna: She didn’T.

Tony: Anna.

Anna: Oh, tony. I didn’t hear you come in.

Tony: Oh, that’s because you were so engrossed in johnny’s script. Where did you get that?

Anna: Oh, I borrowed it from abigail. Tony, have you read this latest version? It’s incredible.

Tony: Well, I’m sure it is.

Anna: We really need to be involved in this movie.

Tony: I told you we can’t because ej wants johnny to work at dimera, not making movies.

Anna: I know, darling, but that’s old news. Ej is not only investing in this movie, he is playing the role of john black.

Tony: He is?

Anna: Yes. And if he can be in the movie, I think you should be too.

Tony: Me? As who?

Anna: As tony, of course.

Tony: You want me to play tony?

Anna: Who better to play tony than my tony?

Tony: Well, let’s not forget it wasn’t me. It was my cousin, andre, who usurped my life at that point.

Anna: Well, that just makes it a more challenging role to play, but I know you’d be brilliant. I’m calling johnny right now, and I’m going to throw your hat in the ring.

Tony: Oh no, no, no. You’ll do no such thing.

Allie: There is no way that I’m going with you to that crypt.

Johnny: Why? You’re scared you might come face to face with the devil?

Allie: No, because I have plans with tripp.

Johnny: Oh, convenient.

Allie: Why do you care if I go with you? What, you’re too scared to go alone?

Johnny: I’m not scared. I’m inspired. I mean, what better way to research my film than to come face to face with the devil himself? And I intend to get it all on camera.

Allie: You’re wasting your time.

Johnny: Why would the spirits tell us the devil’s at the crypt if he’s not?

Allie: There are no spirits, and there’s nothing in the crypt.

Johnny: Yeah. Well, we’ll see about that.

[Uneasy music]

John: Doc, I know you’re in there. I need your help. Come back, come back to me.

Demon marlena: Your precious doc tried fighting me yesterday. I’ll give her this, it was a valiant effort, but she fell short.

John: I know that you’re still in there. I know that you’re still fighting, so fight for me, doc. Fight for us. Fight for our love.

Ben: I can’t pretend that I am completely over my worries about having a kid. And, of course, I think about jordan and how she turned up. But mainly I have to just trust that your goodness is gonna shine through.

Ciara: Mm-hmm. Yes, and our baby will have what you and jordan never had, a house filled with so much love.

Ben: Yeah.

Ciara: Yeah.

Ben: You cold?

Ciara: No, I’m not cold. It’s just, this place is kind of creepy.

Ben: Yeah. I mean, we are in a cemetery on halloween night.

Ciara: Yeah, I noticed.

Ben: Yeah.

Ciara: Look, my brother and belle just got back from south africa after visiting claire. And they wanted to have dinner with us at the pub. But if you’re not feeling up to it–

Ben: No, no, no I–no. I’m I’m up for it. I’d like that. I wanna see ’em.

Ciara: Are you sure?

Ben: Yes. I think I’ve said all I needed to say to jordan right now. I feel a lot better.

Ciara: I’m glad. I order my groceries online now.

Ciara: It is so good to see you.

Belle: You too. You too. Come here, you.

Ben: Hey, hey, hey. Good to see you.

Belle: Thanks. You too. Sit.

Ciara: So where is that brother of mine?

Shawn: Hey, I’m late. Late as usual. I’m sorry, sorry. I was checking up on abe’s condition, sorry.

Ben: How is he doing?

Shawn: He’s doing a lot better.

Ben: Yeah. Good, good. Good. That’s great news.

Ciara: Yeah. We heard that jake was brought in for the shooting.

Shawn: Yeah.

Ciara: That is so weird. We were with gabi and jake right before it happened.

Shawn: You were?

Ciara: Yeah, we were supposed to have breakfast with them.

Shawn: Well, wait, wait, so was he acting strangely? Like did he say or did he do–did he seem agitated or, like, did he seem upset in any way?

Ben: Ciara was inside with gabi, and I was with jake right before he left.

Shawn: Okay. So did he say anything that would be relevant to this investigation?

Anna: You don’t want to be in johnny’s movie?

Tony: Have you forgotten that abigail is playing marlena?

Anna: So?

Tony: So marlena is my peer, and I’m abigail’s senior by decades.

Anna: So he’ll rewrite the character. How can you not be dying to play such a pivotal role?

Tony: Because I don’t think it’s that pivotal.

Anna: Are you kidding? Tony is a man at a crossroads in his life and in his marriage. He’s married to kristen, but he’s seething with jealousy because his wife is secretly attracted to another man: The sexy priest, father john black.

Tony: Oh.

John: [Croaking] Help me… doc, please, help me.

Demon marlena: There’s no one coming for you, john. I can feel the life force draining out of your body even now.

[Disquieting music]

Johnny: That’s weird. Always used to be a key in the lock.

Demon marlena: Let go, john! Let the sweet relief of eternity flow over you.

John: Never.

Johnny: Hey, lucifer, you in there?

[Creaking noise]

John: Help me, please.

Demon marlena: Dammit.

Johnny: If you’re in there, satan, my name’s johnny. I’m a filmmaker. Love to meet you. Okay. So much for the ouija board.

[Door clunks]

Grandma? Woman: I have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

Shawn: What did jake say to you outside, ben?

Ben: He told me that he had something to take care of, and then he took off.

Shawn: All right. Did you suspect that there was something wrong?

Ben: I’m telling you everything that he told me, brother.

Shawn: Okay. All right, all right. But if you think of anything else, you can let me know.

Ben: I will.

Ciara: Okay, wait, wait, wait, did you come here to give my husband the third degree or…

Shawn: Okay, okay, it’s my job.

Ciara: To enjoy some clam chowder and hear about our honeymoon?

Belle: Yes, ciara’s right. Let’s eat. And I wanna hear all about new orleans. Was it amazing? Tell me everything.

Ciara: Was amazing. The food, incredible. The music, the music was–

Shawn: Please tell me you went to all the places that mom and dad went to, and tell me that you went to oak alley.

Ciara: Oh, we did. It was beautiful. And it’s really moving to see how they’re confronting their history by teaching the visitors about it.

Shawn: Hmm. All right. I bet it is. So what else did you guys do?

Ben: The usual honeymoon stuff. Ciara and I helped the isa recover a stolen gemstone.

Belle: What?

Shawn: What the–

Ciara: Yeah, yeah, it’s a really long story, and I’ll be more than happy to tell you all about it later. But right now, we actually have some really special news to share.

Belle: Yay.

Shawn: Oh yeah?

Belle: Tell us, what is it?

Ciara: Well, as wonderful as the trip ended up being, it helped us come to a pretty big, life-changing decision about our future.

Shawn: And what is that?

Ciara: Well, we’re trying to have a baby.

Belle: Yay!

Johnny: Grandma, what are you– what are you doing here, and dressed like that?

Marlena: When I finished your script, I wanted you to know that I liked it.

Johnny: Thank you. But that still doesn’t explain what you’re doing here inside the dimera family crypt.

Marlena: When you weren’t at home, I thought I would just take a stroll.

Johnny: Hmm.

Marlena: And then I got here, and there was a key in the lock. So I thought I’d take a moment to pay my respects to your grandfather.

Johnny: Dressed like the… devil?

Marlena: It’s a halloween costume. I did it for you.

Johnny: Well, that’s cool, I think. So you like the script?

Marlena: I did. I found the script powerful and accurate.

Johnny: You know, this crypt could be a really cool location for my movie. I barely even have to dress the set. Ow. Ow.

Marlena: Sorry. I wouldn’t go in there if I were you.

Johnny: Is there a problem with me going inside?

[Uneasy music]

Tony: You know, a less confident man would feel threatened by you calling john black sexy. Excuse me.

Anna: Well, honey, I’m just being honest. I mean, 30 years ago, that man in a collar? Whew. And to kristen, he was forbidden fruit. I mean, according to the script, anyway, she was a young woman of great faith who was torn between her devotion to her poor blind husband and her attraction to the hot priest.

Tony: Oh, so now he’s sexy and hot.

Anna: Well, as was tony. Yes. Let’s just say that kristen was deeply conflicted.

Tony: I thought this movie was about marlena.

Anna: It is, but it’s kristen who drives the action. She’s one of the first to recognize that evil has come to salem.

Tony: Oh, sounds like quite the plum role. I wonder who johnny’s gonna cast.

Anna: Well, as far as I can tell, there’s only one person that’s actually perfect for the role.

Tony: Hmm, who?

Anna: Oh, you’re looking at her.

Tony: I think I need a drink.

Why hide your skin if dupixent

Tony: You wanna play kristen?

Anna: Well, if you are going to play tony, it just makes sense.

Tony: Well, let’s not forget that kristen left tony for john.

Anna: Yes. But as you pointed out, it was really andre that kristen jilted.

Tony: But she didn’t know that.

Anna: You know, I don’t know why this really matters. And I don’t know why you’re being so resistant.

Tony: Because I’m hardly enthusiastic about revisiting a dark chapter in my family’s history.

Anna: Okay. What if we ask johnny to rewrite the tony and kristen subplot and–oh, and highlight their love story. And then, in this version, they can end up living happily ever after, just like us.

Tony: Huh.

Anna: Hmm?

Tony: Mm…

Marlena: There is something in the crypt I don’t want you to see.

Johnny: What is it?

Marlena: A rat, a big nasty rat.

Johnny: A rat? I’m not afraid of a rat. In fact, I am writing one into my movie. Did you know that some people call rodents the devil’s disciples?

Marlena: I think there are even some non-rodent disciples. I think you should stay away from it.

Johnny: You sure you didn’t see anything else in there?

Marlena: I don’t think so.

[Eerie music]

Now what brought you out here?

Johnny: It’s gonna sound weird.

Marlena: Well, not much surprises me.

Johnny: Okay. Well, allie and i were using a ouija board, and we asked it if the devil was in salem.

Marlena: Hmm. Did you get an answer?

Johnny: The board spelled out that he was here, at this crypt.

Marlena: The spirits are on to me.

Johnny: What? Ah, right, yes. The board knew, I guess.

Marlena: Or the spirits knew.

Johnny: You believe in that?

Marlena: Yeah. I guess I should. I mean, after what happened to me, you know, I think I’d be crazy not to believe in the supernatural. Believe that it’s real.

Johnny: And that’s why I’m making my movie.

Marlena: Yes. Look, I know that you have skeptics, and some even in your own family. But I think it’s important that you carry out your vision. I mean, this movie is going to let people know there are forces out there that people can’t begin to understand. And they have no idea what the devil is capable of doing.

Ciara: We put a lot of thought into this decision.

Belle: Mm-hmm.

Ben: Mainly because of the history of mental illness on my side of the family.

Belle: Yeah, of course.

Ciara: Yeah. Ben actually spoke to your mom about it, belle.

Ben: Yeah, she really went out of her way, belle, to reassure me that no matter what genes our child ends up with, the love that we give our child is really what’s gonna be the most important.

Belle: Oh, so she helped you.

Ben: Yeah.

Ciara: Yeah. After speaking with her, ben felt a lot better about the situation.

Ben: I mean, she flat-out told us that we should have a child. And ever since then, she’s just been texting me and calling me and just really making sure that we’re moving forward with the whole plan.

Belle: Really?

Ciara: Yeah. She’s been very invested in me having a baby.

Belle: Huh? She doesn’t usually tell people what to do or make it so personal.

Ciara: Yeah. Oh, I’m sorry. Is all this baby talk making you tired? Is it boring you?

Belle: Oh, sleepy.

Ben: Oh, man.

Shawn: I’m sorry. This jet lag is killing me right now. I’m sorry. You guys mind if we go home, and we’ll pick this up another time before I hit my head on this plate and fall asleep?

Ben: No, no, no, go ahead. Go ahead; let’s go get you some sleep, brother. Good to see you.

Shawn: Yeah, you too. Congratulations.

Ben: Thank you.

Belle: Good luck with the baby making.

Ben: Thank you.

Belle: Oh, my god, is that such a weird thing to say?

Ciara: No, it’s not. It was so good seeing you.

Belle: So good to see you too. Oops, oh, let me grab this.

Ben: Oh, sorry. Don’t forget that.

Belle: All right. See you guys later.

Ben: See you guys.

Ciara: All right, bye.

Belle: It was nice to see you.

Ben: You barely touched your new england clam chowder. What’s going on? You want me to order something else?

Ciara: No, I’m actually not that hungry. Yeah, my stomach has been kind of funky all day.

Ben: You’re not feeling well?

Ciara: I actually think that it might be something else.

Ben: Something else?

Ciara: Yeah. I stopped by the pharmacy before I came to find you.

Ben: Is that what I think it is?

Ciara: Well, if you think it’s a pregnancy test, then yeah. It’s exactly what you think it is. I thought I was managing my moderate

Anna: So shall we offer our services to johnny and request a rewrite?

Tony: Well, let’s just say that he takes out the conflict between tony and kristen. Doesn’t that water down the story, huh?

Anna: Well, see, you are intrigued.

Tony: No, I just don’t think that an audience would like to see a married couple drinking champagne and talking about how much in love they are.

Anna: I disagree. I think people love to watch other people in love.

Tony: Well that’s because you know more about drama than I do.

Anna: How about I find us a good tony and kristen scene, and we can rehearse it together? Then we’ll be prepared to pitch ourselves to johnny.

Tony: Ah, hmm… you really think he’d want to cast us?

Anna: Darling, if you can bring one tenth of your natural passion and charm to the role, he’ll be begging to get us on camera.

Tony: Okay. Okay.

Johnny: Can I take a picture of you in that costume?

Marlena: Why?

Johnny: Well, allie told me that the ouija board was nonsense and that I wasn’t gonna find anything out here. I just wanna show her that she was wrong.

Marlena: Well, you didn’t exactly find the devil, did you?

Johnny: Still, you are here, and you’re dressed like that, so spirits didn’t lie, did they?

[Rattling sound] Did you hear that?

[Eerie music]

Marlena: I didn’t hear anything.

Johnny: It sounded like chains or something. You didn’t?

Marlena: Maybe it’s the spirits.

Johnny: I don’t think ghosts actually rattle chains. You really didn’t hear that?

Marlena: You have a wonderful imagination. It’s one of the reasons I love you and another reason that you’re gonna make a wonderful movie.

Johnny: Thank you, grandma. Let’s get out of here.

Marlena: Yeah, go ahead. I’ll catch up.

Johnny: Okay.

Demon marlena: I’ll deal with you another time, john black.

John: [Groans]

Shawn: Well, I cannot believe that my little sister is gonna be a mom.

Belle: I know. Oh, I’m so happy for them.

Shawn: It sounds like your mom really helped them out.

Belle: Yeah. Yeah. I’m glad she’s able to be there for them. I don’t know. Don’t you think it’s kind of strange that she keeps following up like that? You know, making sure that they’re still trying to have a baby?

Shawn: I mean, she’s always been really invested in ben’s health and happiness, so I don’t know, it makes sense.

Belle: Yeah. Just seems like maybe she’s a little overly invested in ben and ciara having a child.

Ben: Do you really think you could be pregnant right now already?

Ciara: Well, I am a day late, and usually I am like clockwork, so…

Ben: Well I–

Ciara: Well?

Ben: I guess we should head home and you can take that test.

Ciara: Yeah. Or I can take it right now.

Ben: Right now, now, like here now?

Ciara: Yeah, like right here right now.

Ben: Right, right. Okay.

Ciara: Like right… okay, breathe. It’s gonna be okay, babe.

Ben: Okay.

Ciara: Okay?

Ben: Hmm.

Ciara: I’ll be right back.

Ben: All right.

Ciara: Okay.

Ben: Okay.

Ciara: Okay.

Ben: Okay.

Ciara: Okay.

[Melancholy music]

Tony: You know, all this talk about the past has reminded me of when I first came to salem… oh, drumroll please, 40 years ago?

Anna: Oh, darling. You’re much too young to have done anything 40 years ago.

Tony: You always say the sweetest things to me, but it’s true. And that’s when I came to salem, at that time, that long ago.

Anna: A lot of crazy things have happened since then.

Tony: Yeah. Crazy things, sad things, wonderful things. But to me, the most wonderful thing of all was falling in love with you, my precious anna.

Anna: Your precious anna is one very lucky woman.

Tony: No, no, no, no, no. The lucky one, well, that’s me. I knew it from the start. I mean, the smartest thing I ever did was marrying you.

Anna: Are you serious? Tonight?

Tony: Yes. I’m serious. I want you to marry me tonight, right now.

Oh, let it hold you

oh, let it taste your lips

if only for this moment

for you I would do it again

’cause I wanna love you

forever

it only

gets better from here

and I’m with you come

whatever

’cause beautiful days

turn to years

but if only the sunset

oh, let it

capture this night

only this moment so perfect

for you I’ll do it again

even for just one kiss

I’ll do it all just for this

Tony: Anna, it’s best decision I ever made those 40 years ago coming to salem… falling in love with you and marrying you, and that’s because, mm, anna, you are the light of my life.

Anna: And don’t you ever, ever forget it.

Tony: Never, never, never.

[Both giggling]

[Uneasy music]

Demon marlena: So nice to be back among the dead tonight. And, of course, my favorites, the really bad ones. Oh, ben, looks like you’ve been to visit your sister. Soon she won’t be the only bad seed in the family.

[Tender music]

Ben: Hey. Baby, maybe it was just a stomachache after all. You know, it’s probably too soon for us to even get pregnant anyway, right? But I promise you, we’re gonna go home, and we’re gonna keep trying and trying. What are you doing? What is that? Are you saying that– because you’re not really saying anything at all, but judging by the little smile on your face–what…

Ciara: We’re having a baby.

Ben: Having a baby?

Ciara: We’re having a baby. Are you happy?

Ben: Am I happy?

Ciara: Are you happy?

Ben: Am I happy? Am I happy? Am I happy? Am I happy? Are you kidding me right now? Are you kidding right now?

Ciara: No, I’m being serious. We’re having a baby.

Ben: We’re having a baby.

Ciara: You’re gonna be a dad.

Ben: You’re gonna be a mom.

Ciara: I’m gonna be a mom.

Ben: I love you, mama. Mom, I love you. And I love that we are about to have a baby together. Are you kidding?

Ciara: I’m serious.

Ben: Are you–

[Foreboding music]

Demon marlena: Your child will be mine, ben. Nothing can stop that. Not marlena, and certainly poor old john black.

John: I gotta get outta here. I’ve gotta save marlena. I’ve gotta save all of salem from pure evil.

Demon marlena: So… little allie horton doesn’t believe in the supernatural, even after what I did to her grandmother. I guess I’ll just have to make her a believer. Rise up, rise up, charlie dale, and prove to allie that my powers are real.

Days of Our Lives Transcript

Days of Our Lives logo

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Brady: That jackass thinks I slept with chloe. I gotta warn her.

[Groans] Where’d you put your phone, brady?

[Tense music]

Kristen: Oh, brady. I wish I could stay, but don’t you worry. I won’t be gone long.

[Phone ringing]

Victor: Who’s this?

Melinda: Good evening to you too, mr. Kiriakis. It’s melinda trask. So I guess our deal is off.

Victor: Why would you say that?

Melinda: Well, I haven’t heard from you, so I assume that means you haven’t found kristen dimera.

Rachel: Mommy?

Kristen: Oh, baby, hi. It’s me. It’s me.

Nicole: Surprise.

Ej: Nicole. I was just thinking about you.

Nicole: Oh. Well, I got your message about dinner, and I was hoping the invitation still stands.

Kristen: I can’t believe you left your phone alone with those nosy do-gooders.

Ej: Actually, they weren’t alone. Of course the invitation still stands. I’m so very glad you decided to accept.

Nicole: Thank you.

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

[Soft orchestration]

Philip: Were you expecting someone else?

Chloe: No. Just surprised to see you here.

Philip: Why? I mean, I know you moved out, but we’re still together, right?

Chloe: Yeah, but we haven’t spoken since I left the mansion, and I didn’t tell you where I was going.

Victor: It’s only been 24 hours.

Melinda: I’m the district attorney. Every minute that goes by, the people of salem grow more impatient. They know that one of your nephews was arrested for drug trafficking and the other for blackmailing a judge. Now, I’m prepared to dismiss the charges against them if you give me ms. Dimera. Otherwise, I’ll proceed to trial. Now, do you have her or not?

Victor: I haven’t managed to track down that she-devil as yet.

Melinda: In other words, you can’t come through.

Victor: Nonsense. I’ve got steve johnson on the case. I assure you, he’ll find her. Good evening, ms. Trask.

Jack: Were you just talking with the da?

Victor: Maybe we can get her to prosecute you for eavesdropping.

Jack: Aw, come on, victor. As long as I’m here, why don’t you tell me about the deal you just made with her?

Xander: Am I being released?

Melinda: Why would you think that?

Xander: I thought my uncle victor–

Melinda: You thought wrong. Your uncle hasn’t met my terms.

Xander: Then what am i doing up here?

Melinda: Someone demanded to see you.

Limu emu & doug

Kristen: Oh, sweetheart, I missed you so, so much.

Rachel: Daddy said you had to go away.

Kristen: I did, I did. But I never wanted to leave you. But guess what? Tonight, I am so excited, because I got to come see you. But you know what, sweetie, rachel, I need you to promise me that it’ll just be between you and I. Can you do that for me? That’s my good little girl. Oh, sweetheart, I have missed you. I’ve missed you so much. Do you know what I miss most about? This–mm-hmm. I missed reading you bedtime stories, and I missed picking out–well, helping you pick out your clothes, because I know how much you like to do that on your own. But I bet you have to wear that funny little coat– that peach coat, now that it’s colder out, yeah?

Rachel: I wore it pumpkin picking with daddy and chloe.

Kristen: That-that’s nice. That’s nice. You, daddy, and chloe. Well, that must have been a fun trip. Hey. Hey, speaking of trips, how about you and I go on a trip of our own, just the two of us? What do you think? Yeah?

Chloe: Philip, how did you know I was here?

[Phone ringing] Sorry, one second.

Philip: Do you need to get that?

Chloe: No. It’s not important.

Brady: Hey, chlo, listen, it’s me. I wanted to give you a heads up. Lucas just left. Apparently he and philip saw me carrying your bags into the salem inn last night. Philip has assumed the worst, and he thinks that we spent the night together. Now, I refused to dignify his accusation by getting into it, so I didn’t tell lucas anything. But I wanted you to know, just in case you were blindsided by one of philip’s famous freak-outs.

Nicole: I’m really glad that I’m here with you tonight. It’s keeping me from losing it over abe.

Ej: I’m terribly sorry about what happened.

Nicole: It’s just shocking. The mayor being shot at point blank range in the park, I–

[Sighs] I know he’s gonna be okay. I know it.

Ej: I’m sure sending your love his way will make a big difference.

Nicole: Yeah, I don’t know.

Ej: I do. How’s the pizza?

Nicole: It’s great. But I do have to say, when you invited me over for dinner, I didn’t think we’d be having takeout.

[Both chuckle]

Ej: Were you thinking a 12-course repast in the formal dining room?

Nicole: To be honest, yes.

Ej: I do tend towards ceremony. But I quite enjoy being spontaneous from time to time.

Nicole: Like when?

Ej: Well, I don’t think a man who would marry samantha brady or nicole walker would be inclined to an entirely predictable life.

Nicole: Probably not.

Ej: And being unpredictable can keep one’s enemies on their toes. When you employ the element of surprise, it makes it that much harder for them to betray you.

Xander: Gwen, how are you?

Gwen: Not bad. All things considered.

Xander: I’ve missed you.

Gwen: I’ve missed you too.

Xander: How have they been treating you?

Gwen: You’ve got 30 minutes, and there’s a cop right outside the door, so don’t try anything stupid. No touching! My nunormal?

Xander: God, I wish I could kiss you.

Gwen: I know, me too. But look, we don’t have much time. Talk to me. Tell me what’s going on.

Xander: Well, I did see your father last night.

Gwen: Did he give you my message?

Xander: You mean did he tell me that you were willing to confess so I can go free? Gwen, what are you thinking?

Gwen: You don’t belong here.

Xander: We’ve been over this.

Gwen: But you don’t deserve to be locked up here. You had nothing to do with it.

Xander: I can think of quite a few people who disagree with you.

Gwen: Well, it’s out of your hands now. My father is going to go and speak to the da.

Xander: No, he’s not! I told you not to say a word to that witch!

Gwen: Xander, if you want to atone for your sins, there has to be a better way.

Xander: Like what? Go see a priest, say a few hail marys? Sorry, darling, that ship has sailed.

Gwen: Why are you so bloody stubborn?

Xander: I’m not just gonna abandon you, gwen. We’re in this together. Besides, there might be another way out of here.

Gwen: Yeah, I did hear about that. Bonnie told me that justin told her that trask might consider dropping the charges against the four of us. But it seems like wishful thinking, no?

Xander: Not necessarily. There is a plan in the works.

Victor: What deal? I don’t know what you’re talking about.

Jack: I think you do. I saw xander last night. He said trask strongly implied she was about to drop the charges against him. You have anything to do with that? Maybe you made some sort of arrangements?

Victor: Suppose that were the case. What the hell do you care?

Jack: Of course I care, victor. I don’t want them going to prison. Xander’s my friend, justin will always be family, and gwen’s my daughter.

Victor: Whoa, who said anything about gwen?

Nicole: Betray you? What do you mean? You haven’t heard from sami, have you?

Ej: No, no, no, no. I wasn’t referring to my soon-to-be ex-wife’s indiscretion. I suppose I just have treachery on the brain.

Nicole: Oh?

Ej: You remember last night, when we had dinner, and steve johnson and his wife approached our table?

Nicole: It’s kind of hard to forget, especially because she was so smashed, and she knocked over that glass of wine and almost ruined your beautiful italian tie.

Ej: Right. And I had just assumed that she’d had a difficult day and over-indulged. But later, I realized that her drunken display was just a ruse. An aversion to allow her husband to tamper with my phone, which I’d left on the table in my haste to salvage my neckwear.

Nicole: Why would steve want to mess with your phone?

Ej: So he could track down my sister. Question is: Why would they have chosen that moment to do it? I mean, they must have known that you would have stopped steve from putting his hands on my personal property. Unless they had already organized another ruse to entice you away from the table as well. However, that just seems unlikely, considering you were all still there when I returned.

Nicole: Okay. Okay, I admit it. I let steve hack into your phone.

[Suspenseful music]

Kristen: Honey, I know that you don’t like wearing this jacket, but it’s only for a little while, all right?

Rachel: Shall we say goodbye to daddy?

Kristen: No, no, sweetie. We have to keep it a secret even from daddy. Yeah, yeah, this is a special, special trip for mommy and rachel, remember?

To be a thriver with

metastatic breast cancer

Chloe: Sorry about that.

Philip: No problem.

Chloe: So how did you know that I was here?

Philip: From your assistant.

Chloe: Oh, you mean grace.

Philip: Right, grace. I called your office. I figured she might have your new address. Don’t worry, she’s not giving your confidential information to random strangers. I told her I’m your boyfriend, which I still am, right?

Chloe: Yeah, of course.

Philip: Good. So, I was hoping we could have dinner together.

Chloe: Oh, you want to order some room service?

Philip: Unless you’ve already eaten.

Chloe: No, I have not.

Philip: Good. Because the fried chicken here is killer.

Ej: And what’s even more appalling than your betrayal is the fact that you had the nerve to show your face in this house! By all rights, I should fire you and throw you out!

Nicole: I’m sorry. I’m sorry for going behind your back, ej. I truly am. But I am not the least bit sorry that steve is hunting down your sister. Do you have any idea what she has done to people? Do you have any idea what she has done to me? She locked me up and she stole my life, so if steve wants to drag her ass back here, then I am all in.

Ej: I can understand your antipathy towards my sister. And while I would never try and sugarcoat what she did to you, you must know that kristen’s life isn’t easy right now. She’s on the run, separated from her daughter.

Nicole: And I sympathize with rachel, of course I do. ‘Cause it’s not her fault that she has a raging lunatic for a mother. That little girl suffers every day with confusion and sadness and pain.

Ej: My sister has made a lot of mistakes, big mistakes. But she is devoted to her daughter.

Nicole: A daughter that wouldn’t exist if she hadn’t stolen my identity, and she got pregnant because she slept with brady while she was pretending to be me!

Ej: Let’s not go there.

Nicole: No, we’re gonna go there! While kristen had me locked up, she kidnapped my daughter, and she wouldn’t let me have her back until I let her take over my life. And then when she did go back to salem, disguised as me, she told everyone that holly died in a horrific accident. You think about that, ej! Think about that! She faked the death of a child so she could suck brady back in. So I don’t give a damn how much kristen is hurting, ’cause I’ll never feel sorry for that miserable bitch.

Kristen: Get out of my way. My daughter and I have plans. Please, steve, this does not concern you.

Brady: Kristen. What’s going on? What are you doing? Why is steve here?

Steve: I’m on assignment. I can tell you more about that later. But right now, maybe you want to get this little girl back to bed.

Brady: That’s a good idea. Come on, honey. Let’s go, sweetie. Let’s get you back into bed, okay? Come on.

Kristen: You son of a bitch! I just wanted to spend time with my little girl.

Steve: Well, given the backpack and the coat, I’d say it was more than that.

Kristen: Why are you doing this? Why are you tracking me down like a dog?

Steve: Victor kiriakis hired me to find you.

Kristen: Oh god, I should have known. So you’re his bounty hunter now?

Steve: I’m a private investigator.

Kristen: Yeah, who gets paid to tear kids away from their mothers.

Steve: You’re a fugitive. You know that, right?

Kristen: Yeah, and I also know that you’re not a cop, so you can go straight to hell.

Steve: Okay, listen, listen, we can do this the easy way or the hard way, your choice.

Kristen: Easy way? Have you met me? Making things difficult is my stock-in-trade. I thought I was managing my moderate

Chloe: Mmm. Oh my god, this is so good.

Philip: Told you.

Chloe: I would never think, in a million years, to order the fried chicken here.

Philip: Mm-hmm. I love the food at the mansion, but this is one dish cook hasn’t quite mastered yet.

Chloe: Well, I don’t think victor’s really the “eat with your hands type. And the more that I’m doing it, I can understand why. Oh my goodness, do we have any extra napkins?

Philip: Here, take mine.

Chloe: Oh, thank you.

Philip: Your, uh, your face.

Chloe: What?

Philip: Your–you got something on your cheek.

Chloe: Oh, no.

[Romantic music]

Ej: I’m not denying that kristen committed a horrible crime against you.

Nicole: Then you can understand why I let steve hack into your phone.

Ej: I don’t like it. But yes. I understand your feelings very well. But I’m afraid i don’t share them. No matter what she’s done, kristen is still my sister. She’s extremely loyal, and has always looked out for me.

Nicole: I know she wrote you that letter exposing sami’s affair.

Ej: She saved me from a lifetime of humiliation. If she hadn’t opened my eyes, I’d have remained in my marriage, completely oblivious to the fact that I was being played for a fool. And it’s thanks to her that I knew I had to act. And by act, I mean permanently and immediately kicking samantha out of my house and out of my life.

Nicole: Well, if it’s permanently over with sami, then why are you still wearing your wedding ring?

Kristen: You have to make it so tight?

Steve: You were the one who wanted to make things difficult. Okay.

Kristen: How’s rachel?

Brady: She’s settled back into bed. She’s a little wound up, for obvious reasons. I don’t know if she’s gonna sleep for a while. What are you doing?

Kristen: Just wanted to see our little girl.

Brady: So you broke in.

Kristen: I haven’t seen her for months, brady.

Brady: What was your plan, kristen? You sneak in here–where were you gonna take her?

Kristen: No, I just wanted to spend a little time with her, that’s all.

Brady: My god, I can’t– I can’t believe you did that. Just when I think all this psycho behavior is done, you do this crap again.

Kristen: Oh my god, how can you be so cruel? I am all alone. After you cut me off, rachel’s all in have left. And I have no contact with her.

Brady: Kristen, who’s fault is that?

Kristen: I can’t do this anymore. I can’t do it; I can’t bear it. I can’t bear–I can’t bear never hearing her little voice or holding her little hand. I miss her, brady. I miss her so much. And I know she misses me too. I could see it in her eyes.

Steve: Okay, come on, let’s go.

Kristen: No, no! Please, don’t let him do this. Don’t let him take me away. Stop it. I know I’ve done terrible things. I know I have. But I am still rachel’s mother.

Steve: Okay, let’s go. Come on.

Kristen: You know what, you know who’s behind all this? You know who steve’s on assignment for? Your grandfather.

Brady: Victor?

Kristen: Yeah. That’s what mr. Black patch here just told me. Victor is paying him to do this. Can you believe that? That monster–what he already did to me, what he did to us, brady.

Brady: Is that true?

Steve: Yeah.

Kristen: Don’t let this happen. That heartless bastard separated me from rachel once before. I am begging you, don’t let him do it again. Please.

Jack: So you’re just gonna let gwen and bonnie languish in jail?

Victor: I don’t care where they languish. I’m dealing with my family. Anyone else, not my concern.

Jack: If you really want to deal with your family, you might want to reconsider.

Victor: Why is that?

Jack: Well, you may not care about those two women, but your nephews certainly do. Xander’s gone to great lengths to protect gwen, and justin was about to marry bonnie. How do you think he’s gonna feel when he finds out that you could have intervened on bonnie’s behalf and chose not to? Do you think he’ll ever want to hear from you again? Do you think he’ll ever forgive you? And I know you’ve had a very rocky relationship with xander, but you obviously still care about him. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be helping him. And he cares about gwen, very much.

Victor: He’ll get over it.

Jack: I don’t think so. He sees this as an all-or-nothing situation. Same as justin. They all get out or they all stay in.

Victor: That’s insane.

Jack: No, victor, that’s love. Let me tell you, the only way that justin and xander will get on board with your plan is if it includes gwen and bonnie. If it doesn’t, you might as well forget the whole thing.

Gwen: So what is the plan?

Xander: Apparently, my uncle vic made a deal with the da to get the charges against us dropped. If it works out, we’ll both get off scot-free. But for now, we just have to sit tight.

Gwen: Well, I can understand why victor would want to get the charges dropped against you and justin, ’cause you’re family. He doesn’t know me, and he despises bonnie.

Xander: Don’t overthink it, darling. Just be grateful that we might be getting out of here.

Gwen: Doesn’t really seem like trask, either. Why would she let four people she has dead to rights off the hook?

Xander: Uncle victor must have offered her something huge. Justin and I talked about it, but we couldn’t figure out what. I should mention, speaking of justin, that I kind of blurted out something stupid when I talked to him.

Gwen: Something stupid?

Xander: I might have told him that you were never a sex worker.

Gwen: What?

Xander: I didn’t mean to. It’s just, he made a comment about you being tough enough to handle prison because of your past experience in that particular profession, and I just said it without thinking.

Gwen: Xander, if he doesn’t think that I was a sex worker, then what-what is it that he thinks that snyder was holding over me?

Xander: He doesn’t know. And I told him that it’s just better for everyone if we keep up the cover story. Trust me, he has no idea that you lied to your father and everyone else about the timing of your miscarriage.

Gwen: Thank god. Because xander, my father would never forgive me if he knew that I was letting abigail blame herself, even though she had nothing to do with it.

Xander: You don’t have to worry about that. I promise you. Justin’s totally in the dark. You and I are the only two people that know the truth.

[Door creaks open]

Ej: Are you insinuating I’m still carrying a torch for samantha?

Nicole: It’s not a crime to still have feelings for your wife, to admit it. Look, when eric and I broke up, I didn’t want to take off my ring. It felt so final, that it would just really be over, and I was so scared to say goodbye.

Ej: I said goodbye and good riddance to samantha the moment I threw her out of this house. Believe me, I am more than ready to take off this bloody ring.

Nicole: I know how difficult it is.

Ej: You’re right. Because the damn thing’s stuck. Yes, I realize the irony.

Nicole: Okay. Well, let me–let me help you. Fingers are still greasy from the pizza.

[Both laugh]

[Heartfelt music]

Philip: That might have been even better than the chicken.

Chloe: Might have been?

Philip: No, it totally was. I think I want seconds.

Chloe: Oh.

Philip: Is that okay with you? Any interest in getting horizontal?

Chloe: Mm, I would, but can I take a rain check, please?

Philip: Okay, yeah.

Chloe: Yeah, I’m just, I’m really tired. I didn’t get a lot of sleep last night.

[Tense music]

Brady: I can’T. Can’t do it, kristen.

Kristen: You’re just gonna– you’re gonna let him drag me away?

Brady: You were going to kidnap my daughter.

Kristen: Our–our daughter. And I wasn’t going to kidnap her. She’s my child, too, and I just wanted to spend a little time with her, brady, that’s all.

Brady: You are–you are– you are running from the law. Did you give one thought as to what would happen if you got caught? How much that would traumatize that little girl in there? How much do you want to put her through, huh?

Kristen: I’m sorry.

Brady: Oh, you’re sorry? I’m sorry too. I’m sorry more than you can imagine. I’m also the guy that has to go in there and try to explain this to her.

Kristen: You know what, just let me stay, and then we can talk to her together, please.

Brady: Oh my god, it’s out of the question.

Kristen: So that’s it. You’re not gonna help me.

Brady: I’m sorry, after what you pulled tonight, I can’t believe you have the audacity to even ask me that.

Kristen: Is this about chloe?

Brady: Oh my god, chloe? What are you talking about?

Kristen: Well, I–I heard about your little trip to the pumpkin patch. I mean, is that why you want to get rid of me, because rachel will have a new mommy?

Brady: Oh, kristen, I have no idea what the hell you’re talking about.

Kristen: That whore has been moving in on my family for months!

Brady: Shut up! She’s is sleeping. Keep your voice down.

Kristen: I am her mother. You cannot replace me, brady.

Brady: All right, steve.

Kristen: You can’t replace me!

Brady: Get her out.

Kristen: I’m her mother.

Brady: Get her out!

Kristen: I am her mother!

Kristen: Don’t!

Steve: Okay, okay.

Kristen: Do you hear me?

Steve: Okay.

Kristen: Brady, I’m her mother.

Victor: You have a law degree that I don’t know about?

Jack: No.

Victor: Well, that’s too bad. You’d have made a hell of an attorney.

Jack: Does that mean you’ll help gwen and bonnie?

Victor: Not that good.

Jack: Oh, victor. You really need to think this through.

Victor: And you need to scram so I can eat in peace.

Jack: It’d be so easy for you, victor. One phone call to the da.

Victor: You want to get the charges against your daughter dropped, make your own deal.

Jack: What would it cost me?

Victor: Cost you?

Jack: I assume you had to pay trask off.

Victor: You see, that’s the beauty of this whole thing. I don’t have to pay her a damn dime.

Melinda: Time’s up.

Xander: You said we had 30 minutes!

Melinda: Oh, did I? I meant 15. You may have rights, but I’m not a pushover.

[Phone rings] I have to take this. An officer will accompany you back to your cells. Here we are again.

Nicole: Okay.

[Both chuckle] Got it.

Ej: Well done. Thank you.

Nicole: Ah, uh, yeah. Well, now that that’s done, I-I should be going, and–

Ej: So soon?

Nicole: Yes, I’m–I’m gonna relieve the sitter. I like to tuck holly in bed when I can, so. Thank you for the pizza and understanding about the phone.

Ej: I may have resorted to some less-than-honorable tactics from time to time myself. So it would be hypocritical of me to hold it against you. Now, as, um, a show that everything is okay, can we at least kiss and make up?

[Inquisitive music]

Nicole: Yeah, um. I should–thank you. Uh, good night.

Ej: Goodnight.

Nicole: Yes.

Chloe: Mm, so we’ll get together another night, okay? Maybe another fried chicken dinner?

Philip: Sure. Like you said, you’re tired.

Chloe: Mm.

Philip: Talk tomorrow?

Chloe: Definitely. Good night.

Philip: Sleep well.

[Pensive music]

Brady: Hey, chlo, listen, it’s me. I wanted to give you a heads up. Lucas just left. Apparently he and philip saw me carrying your bags into the salem inn last night. Philip has assumed the worst, and he thinks that we spent the night together. I’m so sorry, honey. Mommy had to go away again. But I don’t want you to worry, because I’m here for you. I will always be here for you.

Xander: “You have rights, but I’m not a pushover.” I mean, we might be her prisoners, but she doesn’t have to play mind games.

Gwen: Xander, how cares if she cut our visit short?

Xander: I do! I haven’t seen you in days!

Gwen: But what if that was just a huge mistake, us talking like this out in the open? What if she heard?

Xander: Heard what?

Gwen: You assuring me that we are the only ones who know what snyder was blackmailing me with.

Xander: No, she couldn’t have. We heard her open the door. I said all that before she came in. Look, we’re already in enough trouble. We don’t have to invent more. Before you know it, this is all gonna be an unpleasant memory.

Gwen: You really think so?

Xander: Trust me. I know so. Everything’s gonna be okay.

Jack: So that’s how you made this deal. You offered to trade kristen for xander and justin.

Victor: She was all too happy to accept. Considering the fact that kristen killed her daughter. Wasn’t haley dating your son?

Jack: Yes. Jj was in love with her.

Victor: Well, then you should be happy about this too, deveraux. Win for both of us. And a nice payday for your brother.

Jack: Steve?

Victor: I put him on the case. In fact, he should be delivering the goods any minute now.

Melinda: Mr. Johnson, I was very pleased to get your call. I assume you have kristen dimera in your custody?

Steve: I do.

Melinda: Wonderful. If you’ll hand her over to me, I’ll get the ball rolling in dismissing the charges against the two kiriakises.

Steve: Well, I’m afraid I can’t do that just yet.

Melinda: I’m sorry?

Steve: If you want kristen, you’re gonna have to drop the charges against bonnie and gwen too.

Melinda: That wasn’t a part of the deal.

Steve: It is now.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Thank you.

Chanel: Oh my god, horton, today was nuts.

Allie: I know. Apparently, people really love free pumpkin cookies. No. Were those the last two? I didn’t even get to try any.

Chanel: Good thing I saved you one.

Allie: Dupree, you’re the best. Mmm. Amazing.

Chanel: I know, right?

Chad: Mmm. These cookies are great.

Abigail: [Laughs] Oh, my gosh. It is so sweet of chanel and allie to let the kids take as many as they wanted. But we probably should’ve put the brakes on.

Chad: It’s fine. It’s what halloween is for. It’s for the sugar.

Abigail: Yeah. Yeah, I guess you’re right. Oh, man.

Chad: Any word from kayla?

Abigail: No, not yet. I really, really hope she lets me take a look around clay snyder’s office. I just–I don’t want to push, but I wish she’d get back to me, you know?

Chad: She will. I’m sure she just has her hands full taking care of abe right now.

Lani: Yeah, I’ll tell him. Okay, I love you too.

[Sighs] Oh, my god. Hi, theo. Oh, hi.

Theo: How’s dad?

Paulina: You gave us the scare of our lives yesterday, but thank god you made it. And you know what I realized sitting here all these hours just looking at your handsome face? I have been happier in the last eight months than I’ve been in my entire life. Don’t let it go to your head, abraham carver, but you’re the best thing that’s ever happened to me.

[Soft dramatic music]

Abe: Go on.

Paulina: You’re awake. Oh, praise jesus!

[Eerie music]

Demon marlena: With that pesky john black out of the picture, I can finally be who I really am.

[Laughs]

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

[Soft orchestration]

Johnny: [Growls] Gotcha!

Allie: Oh, my god, johnny.

Chanel: You scared the hell out of us.

Johnny: Have a little sense of humor, guys. It’s halloween.

[Chuckles]

Chanel: Aren’t you a little old for trick-or-treating?

Johnny: This is not candy. I was up in the attic looking for a costume when I found this in a box of old toys.

[Eerie music]

Abigail: I just hope kayla didn’t throw out all of dr. Snyder’s belongings after he died. I mean, I know it’s a long shot, but I think it could be possible that there’s something in his office that would help us figure out what he was really holding over gwen.

Chad: Maybe. I know you’re anxious to get to the truth, but there’s not much you can do until you hear from kayla. So I do have a way in which we could pass some time.

Abigail: Hmm? What’s that?

Chad: Well, we just started sharing a bed together. It’d be a shame if we didn’t use it.

Abigail: Mm-hmm. That’s a good point. I do have one question. Costumes on or off?

Chad: Um… off.

Abigail: Then it’s unanimous.

[Romantic music]

Ej: Whoa!

Chad: Ej, what the–

Ej: Hope I’m not interrupting anything. And who’s ej? I’m father john black, and I’m here to perform an exorcism on my precious marlena. Cute costume, but you really should be dressed as the devil.

[Eerie music]

Demon marlena: Well, you won’t be needing this anymore. And as for john black, I know exactly what to do next.

Belle: Surprise! Guess who’s back–

I order my groceries online now.

Theo: When you called me and told me dad got shot I–

Lani: I know. We were all so scared. We didn’t know if he would survive or if he would wake up. And it just– it brought me back to–

Theo: To what happened with me.

Lani: Yeah. That was a really dark time. But look at you now. You are strong, and you are healthy, and dad will get there too because he has us and he has his new fiancéE.

Theo: [Chuckles] I’m still wrapping my head around that one.

Lani: I know. It took me a minute too. But ever since dad and aunt paulina got engaged, he has just been walking on air.

Abe: Paulina, I–

Paulina: Hush. Hush now. You don’t need to talk.

[Chuckles] We know that I have enough to say for the both of us.

Both: [Laugh]

Paulina: Oh, now there’s the smile I like to see! From now on, that is your only job, mr. Mayor. You just keep on smiling. You rest, you relax, and you let us take care of you.

Abe: Mm-hmm. I can do that.

Lani: He woke up?

Paulina: Uh-huh. Just this minute.

Abe: Theo.

Theo: Hey, dad.

Abe: And, lani, you’re still here.

Lani: Of course I am. How are you doing, dad?

Abe: I’m good. Grateful. Theo, I–you came all this way.

Theo: Are you kidding? I got on the first flight out of jo’burg.

Abe: You didn’t have to do that.

Theo: I wanted to. And I was planning on coming back for the wedding anyway. Unless you’re planning on postponing it.

Paulina: We have to postpone it. We can’t put abe through a wedding in his condition. Oh, theo, I know you came a long way, but your father’s health, it comes first.

Theo: I understand and totally agree.

Lani: Mm-hmm, yeah, me too.

Abe: I know it’s–it’s my health that you’re talking about, but I–I have something to say on this subject, and we’re not postponing the wedding.

Abigail: Ej, it’s really not the time or the place.

Chad: Now, what my wife is trying to say is get the hell out now!

Ej: You’re still so insecure.

Chad: And you’re still a jackass who doesn’t understand the concept of personal space.

Ej: Hm, well, there certainly won’t be any space between abigail and me when we start filming, and you can’t handle that, can you?

Chad: Leave.

Ej: Very well. But you still have to come to terms with the fact that your wife and i will soon be on the big screen making mad passionate love for all the world to see. Right, marlena?

[Soft dramatic music]

Chad: I know he’s my brother, but I-I loathe him.

Chanel: A ouija board?

Johnny: Yeah, you remember this, allie? We used to play this all the time. I thought, “what more of a perfect time to pull it back out than halloween?”

Chanel: You don’t want to be messing with that stuff, G. Bad things can happen.

Johnny: No, it’s harmless.

[Sighs]

Allie: I used to be so scared of this thing when I was a kid.

Johnny: But now you’re over it. Come on. Let’s try it out.

Chanel: No, thanks.

Johnny: Please? For me? It’s fun, I promise.

Chanel: I know I am so gonna regret this. Where should I put my hands?

Johnny: Okay, chanel, ask it a question.

Chanel: I’ll pass.

Johnny: Fine. I’ll do it. I’ve been dying to ask it something.

Allie: Why am i not surprised?

Johnny: Tell us, oh powerful spirits, was grandma marlena really possessed by the devil?

[Eerie music]

Belle: Mom, what’s going on?

Marlena: [Chuckles] Oh, oh, this.

[Chuckles] Oh, honey. It’s a halloween costume.

Belle: But your eyes are–

Marlena: Oh, oh, oh, yeah. Contacts. Kind of fun, huh?

Belle: No, no. They’re pretty creepy.

Marlena: Oh. Well, I was only trying to get in the holiday spirit.

Belle: “Holiday spirit”?

Marlena: Clearly, you object.

Belle: Well, I–I don’t– I don’t think I “object,” it’s just I’m–I’m surprised, you know, with one of your closest friends in the hospital and–

Marlena: Oh. Oh, you heard about abe.

Belle: Yeah. Shawn and I were on the same flight with theo coming back from south africa.

Marlena: I see.

Belle: Yeah. Theo said his injuries are really serious.

Marlena: Well, it was dicey for a while, but he’s going to be just fine.

Belle: Oh, good. Thank god.

Marlena: Just don’t–don’t– don’t credit god for that. I mean, what I mean by that, it really was kayla and the hospital staff that saved him. Anyway, hey, give me a hug. I’ve missed you.

Belle: Yeah, you’re gonna have to take those contacts out first ’cause they’re really freaking me out.

Paulina: Abe, are you sure about this?

Lani: Dad, we know how much you want to get married, but–

Abe: No, but nothing. I know you all are concerned about my health, but the best thing for my health would be to marry the woman I love. And that–that is my final answer.

Paulina: Well, I guess it’s settled.

Lani: [Chuckles]

Abe: And you, you know, I know you’ve been here all last night and all day today. You need to–you need to rest, so just go home. Be with your children.

Lani: Eli is with them, dad. And there’s no way that I was gonna leave your side, not until I knew that you were okay and I could tell you how much I love you.

Abe: I know, sweetheart.

Lani: Dad, I don’t know what I would have done if I’d lost you. We haven’t had that much time together.

Abe: I know. And no one–no one regrets all those missing years more than I do. And now–now we have the rest of our lives to make it up.

Lani: [Chuckles] Um… kayla says she’s gonna be in here to check on you, so she will not be happy to see all three of us here.

Abe: You’re probably right.

Lani: Why don’t auntie p and I step out and leave you and theo to catch up?

Johnny: I ask you again. Was grandma marlena really possessed by the devil?

[Eerie music]

Chanel: You did that on purpose.

Allie: Yeah, she’s right. You totally pushed it.

Johnny: No, no. I didn’T. I swear. That was the spirits telling us that the possession was real.

Allie: Whatever.

Johnny: Are you doubting the devil, sis? Bad move. Wouldn’t want to make him mad.

Marlena: There. All better?

Belle: Yeah. Much.

Marlena: And yet you still seem disapproving.

Belle: Well, I just don’t–I don’t understand why you would dress up like that after everything that happened to you.

Marlena: Well, I’m embracing my past.

Belle: What does that mean?

Marlena: That means that, for 25 years, my possession was–well, it was a topic not to be discussed anytime by anyone.

Belle: Because it was incredibly painful.

Marlena: You know what is really painful? Being ashamed of yourself. I’m done feeling like that. I don’t want to feel that way. That’s why I want everything out in the open now, which is why I agreed to let johnny make his movie.

Belle: What movie?

Marlena: Possessed: The marlena evans story.

Belle: [Chuckles] I’m sorry. Wait. You’re letting johnny make a film about that?

Marlena: Yeah. Well, I think it’s time that people knew a little more about that kind of thing.

Belle: And what does dad have to say about this? I mean, I can’t imagine he would go along with that.

Marlena: Well, it isn’t up to… dad is not thrilled about the idea.

Belle: Where is dad anyway?

Why hide your skin if dupixent

Marlena: Uh, your dad?

Belle: Yeah, you know, the guy you’re married to? Goes by the name john black? Calls me tink?

Marlena: He’s gone.

Belle: What do you mean, “gone”?

Marlena: Well, he–he had a call about an important case for black patch.

Belle: Oh, really? I’m surprised that he would leave when someone he’s so close with is in the hospital.

Marlena: No. No, I mean, he–he realized that abe was gonna be fine before he left. And you know your dad. When duty calls, you’d have to chain him up to keep him away.

John: Where… where am I? How… how the hell did I get in here? St. Luke’S. I went to find julie and doc. Only it wasn’t doc.

Ej: Hm. Must work on that eyebrow thing. Oh, good. You decided to go over your lines with me. We really should get comfortable with these scenes before our first rehearsal.

Abigail: Actually, I came to tell you that johnny is gonna have to find someone else to play marlena.

Ej: Why?

Abigail: Because I quit.

[Soft dramatic music]

Johnny: I want to ask it something else.

Allie: So you can cheat again?

Johnny: No, I swear. I–look, I won’t even touch it this time. You guys can do it yourselves.

Allie: Fine. One more question. But that is it.

Johnny: Okay. Okay, spirits, does the devil know we’re making a movie about him?

[Eerie music]

Does he approve? Awesome! The devil’s cool with my movie.

Allie: Or maybe chanel is just being a cheerleader.

Chanel: I am not!

Allie: Well, we have to ask it something besides yes or no questions.

Johnny: Okay, fine. Let’s–we’ll move on to a different subject.

Who does chanel really want to be with? Me or my sister?

Allie: Hey! That is so out of line!

Chanel: What is wrong with you, g?

Johnny: I’m just kidding.

Chanel: You know what? I’m done with this ouija board nonsense. I need to go see how my mom is doing in the hospital. Later.

Allie: [Sighs] Nice going, dumbass.

Johnny: I was joking.

Allie: Why would you even ask that question? You know there’s nothing going on with chanel and me.

Johnny: That’s not what it looked like when i first showed up.

Lani: Have you had a chance to eat? I can go down to the cafeteria and–

Paulina: Lani, honey, I’m fine. I’m fine. Now, please, go home to your little angels.

Lani: I just spoke with eli, and they’re fine.

Paulina: You have been so wonderful staying with me, being here for your father. But jules and carver, they need you too.

Lani: I just–I want to stay here for a while, okay? Just to make sure my dad is okay, okay?

Paulina: You’re still shaken up.

Lani: [Sighs] When eli came home and told us that my dad had been shot–

Paulina: It was a terrible moment.

Lani: That reminds me. Before you walked in, you said you wanted to talk to me about something.

Paulina: I–I did?

Lani: Yes. You said it was important, that marlena had given you some advice about me? You said that you hadn’t spoken with my dad about it yet, and that you prayed that he understood why you were sharing it with me. You said it had something to do with you wanting me to call you “mama.” Auntie p, what is it? The airport can be a real challenge for new homeowners

Paulina: We don’t have to talk about this now.

Lani: Please, aunt p, I’m not only curious, I’m a bit concerned. I mean, it sounded serious.

Paulina: I–I want you to be my maid of honor.

Lani: What?

Paulina: Uh-huh. Well, I suppose it would be matron of honor since you’re a married woman.

Lani: Wait. Auntie, I’m confused. Why is that something you would keep from my dad?

Paulina: Oh, well, I didn’t want him to get all excited about it, you know, before I knew if you’d accept. And so now that we know that your father is going to be okay, and he’s full steam ahead for tying our knot, well, will you do it?

Lani: Yes.

Paulina: Oh.

Lani: Yes, of course.

Paulina: Oh, really?

Lani: Yes.

Paulina: Oh, wonderful! Oh, wonderful! That’s wonderful!

Lani: Wait. What about chanel? Won’t she be upset that you’re asking me to be your matron of honor instead of her?

Chanel: That is an excellent question.

Lani: [Sighs]

Allie: I have no idea what you’re talking about.

Johnny: I saw chanel feeding you a cookie. It looked intimate.

Allie: We were passing out halloween cookies all day. And when they were gone, I realized I didn’t get to have any, and I was bummed. So it turns out chanel saved me one. And what you saw was her feeding me a bite. There’s nothing intimate about that. God, why are you such a jerk?

Johnny: Why are you being so defensive? Did I strike a nerve?

Allie: No. No! All you did was screw things up with chanel. I mean, why would you do that?

Johnny: I didn’t mean to. Obviously, I know that you’re with tripp and chanel is with me.

Allie: Yeah, well, not much longer if you keep acting like this.

Johnny: I will apologize to her.

Allie: Well, we’ll see if she accepts it. Hey, I have an idea. Why don’t we ask the ouija board?

[Soft dramatic music]

Marlena: You must be exhausted after your trip.

Belle: Actually, I feel pretty good.

Marlena: Well, I’m thinking that you should– you should go on home and unpack and maybe take a little nap.

Belle: Oh, no. I’m really–I’m okay.

Marlena: Well, yeah, you know. But the thing is that jet lag can kind of hit a little bit later. But, you know, you go on and get yourself a little nap, and we’ll touch base later.

Belle: Mom.

Marlena: Mm-hmm.

Belle: If I didn’t know better, I’d say you were trying to get rid of me.

Marlena: Why would I do that?

John: Ah, so he’s back. After all of these years, he’s back. Underestimating me, that’s a big mistake ’cause I will never stop fighting you. Doc will never stop fighting you.

Ej: You can’t quit. You signed a contract

Abigail: I’ll break it.

Ej: As a producer, I could sue you.

Abigail: Go for it.

Ej: What about johnny? He’s so excited for you to play marlena. He’ll be very disappointed.

Abigail: Cut the crap, ej. You don’t care about johnny. You were totally against him making the movie, and you only changed your mind because you knew it would bother chad.

Ej: Why–why would I want to bother chad?

Abigail: Maybe because sami cheated on you. You want everyone to be just as miserable as you are. But let me tell you something, the stunt you pulled earlier was pathetic. Honestly, I’m embarrassed for you. That you can’t stop playing these stupid, petty, vindictive games. Now, I have tried to be a good sport, but I don’t need this.

Ej: Abigail, please–

Abigail: I’m out! And there’s nothing that you can say or do that will change my mind. I am done with you. And because of that, unfortunately, also done with the film.

Chad: No, no, you’re not. If someone’s going to quit it’s ej. Are you one of the millions of americans

Ej: And why the hell should I quit?

Chad: Because no one wants you involved, ej! Not even your own son. You had to strong-arm him into–

Abigail: Chad, it’s okay. I don’t mind backing out.

Chad: No, no way. All right, look, this movie means a lot to you, all right? And I’m not gonna let you quit.

Ej: See, even your husband agrees with me.

Chad: Shut your mouth, ej! Look, abby, don’t let him ruin this for you, okay? From the moment you read the script, you’ve been so excited, all right? And you wanted to do something different and get out of your comfort zone, and you are gonna make a great marlena, all right? When you and I read that love scene about john and marlena, look, you were–you were amazing.

Ej: As she will be when she plays opposite me.

Chad: Look, I get that you’re trying to bother me, ej, but it doesn’t work, okay? I will never distrust my wife again. I’ve done it with two of my brothers. I’m not gonna do it with you, so give it up ’cause her and I, our love is strong, and you’re not gonna come between us, you understand? There’s nothing you can do to change that.

[Soft dramatic music]

Ej: See you at rehearsal.

Theo: I’m so glad that you’re okay.

Abe: You know, I–ever since I met paulina, I have been more than okay.

Theo: You got engaged pretty fast. And I know that I’m not one to talk but–

Abe: Theo, you can talk to me anytime. You know, son, no one– no one could ever replace your mother. That’s not what this marriage is all about.

Theo: Dad, I know. And I know that mom would want you to be happy.

Abe: Yeah. I am happy. Paulina has made me happier than I ever thought I would be again.

Paulina: Chanel. Where did you come from?

Chanel: The elevator. I wanted to see how you were holding up but, apparently, you’re doing just fine.

Lani: I’m gonna go check on my dad.

Chanel: You asked lani to be your maid of honor?

Paulina: Uh-uh. Matron.

Chanel: Mama, I know you’ve been through a lot. And I am so glad that abe’s going to be okay. But hearing that you want lani by your side at the wedding and not me really hurts. Couldn’t–couldn’t you have told me first?

Paulina: Baby, I wasn’t planning it. When I first got engaged, of course, I thought you would be my maid of honor. But in the past 36 hours, lani and I, we’ve been through so much, and because her father, he was the one who was hurt, and she was so terribly, terribly worried. I–I just wanted to extend myself to her in some way, to distract her, you know? And when we found out that, you know, abe wasn’t gonna die, I just blurted out I wanted her to be my matron of honor. And I know now–I know–I know it was insensitive to you, so I owe you a big apology.

Chanel: You’re not the only one.

Allie: Spirits, should chanel forgive my brother for being such a dumbass?

Johnny: You’re hilarious.

Allie: I’m serious. You can’t just go around saying hurtful and obnoxious things and expect people to laugh it off. You’re acting just like ej.

Johnny: Ouch. You know I hate it when people say that I’m like my dad, the same way you feel when people say you’re like our mom.

Allie: Fair enough.

Johnny: Allie, I am sorry for being the way that I am. Can you please forgive me?

Allie: Fine. But I don’t know if chanel will.

Johnny: I should’ve never changed the subject anyway. I was on a roll running with the devil.

[Dramatic music]

John: Doc will keep fighting. She’ll keep fighting for me, for us, for our love, and she will never stop. She’ll never stop.

Demon marlena: Hello, old friend. Have you missed me?

Here we are again.

Lani: How’s it going in here?

Abe: All good.

Lani: Ah, good to hear. So I have some good news. Aunt paulina just asked me to be her matron of honor.

Theo: Really? That’s great. But, you know, what about chanel?

Lani: Yeah. I had the same question. They’re out there talking now. What do you think, dad?

Abe: Well, I love the idea of both of my children standing up for us. As long as you agree to be my best man.

Theo: Are you sure?

Abe: Absolutely.

Theo: Then I accept.

All: [Laughter]

Abe: Ooh, that’s perfect. Perfect.

Lani: Only if chanel is okay with it.

Paulina: I didn’t mean to hurt your feelings. And I would never leave you out of the ceremony. You’re going to have a very important role.

Chanel: What role?

Paulina: Well, my daddy died a long time ago, so I’m going to need someone to give me away, you know? Would you do me the honor of walking me down the aisle?

Chanel: If you do me the honor of letting me make your wedding cake.

Paulina: [Laughs] I wouldn’t dare think of anyone else.

[Laughs] Aw.

Allie: I can’t believe you talked me into doing this again.

Johnny: Humor me. Is the devil here in salem?

[Eerie music]

Where in salem? D…

Both: I… M…

Johnny: E…

Allie: R…

Johnny: R…

Both: A.

Johnny: “Dimera”?

Abigail: It was very impressive how you stood up to ej.

Chad: You stood up to him too. I mean, letting him know that you’re willing to quit took guts. And you made it very clear that there–there’s more important things in life than playing this part. But I am glad that you are doing it.

Abigail: Are you sure?

Chad: Yes. 100% we are united in wanting you to do this movie. And in knowing that ej is not and will never be a threat to us.

Johnny: Did I just imagine that, or did the board just spell out dimera?

Allie: What does that mean?

Johnny: Okay. Spirits, tell us more. Is the devil at the mansion?

Okay. Then where? C… R… Y… P… T.

Both: The dimera crypt?

John: [Grunts]

Demon marlena: Comfortable, john? Among all the dimera dead? I remember a time when you thought you were stefano’s brother. It turned out not to be true. You were nothing more than a pawn, but I thought it would be fitting to bring you here as your last resting place. You know, marlena stopped me from killing you at the chapel the other day, but now I’m back to finish what I started.
