THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Hey, Sweetness. Greetings from La La Land. You’re in Los Angeles? Well, well, did you find Jerry Prentiss? No, not yet. After John and I missed him at the bus terminal in Salem, we hopped on a plane, took a gamble that he might be headed here to resume his acting career. Well, that sounds like a good bet. Yeah, we’ll see.

Bus from Chicago should arrive any minute. Well, hopefully he’ll be on it and you’ll be able to ask him what he’s hiding about Abe. That’s the plan. Okay, keep me posted. Oh, and Steve. I love you. I love you too, baby.

Figured you could use this since you didn’t sleep on the flight. Well, I noticed you were wide awake too. Well, we’ll rest once we get some justice for our buddy. Chicago bus just arrived. Keep your eyes peeled for our man.

Oh.

Oh. Oh. Hey. I came to see how you’re doing. Very kind of you. Come in. Hey.

So, I, I know that was difficult for you yesterday, but you got through it. Did my best. Yeah. Paulina, I’m here for you, okay? We, we’re all here for you. Whatever you need. I appreciate that, but, uh, right now I’m so worried about Lonnie. She left, right? She went back to prison? No, she did not go back to prison.

What do you mean? I mean, as of right now, I have no idea where my daughter is.

Good morning, everyone. Oh, who’s ready for breakfast? What a glorious day, and what a glorious way to start our day with a heart healthy bowl of oatmeal. And you know, I always take good care. Take care of you, Abraham, my darling, darling husband. We are just, we’re so blessed. First, we had a visit from your loving son and, and now we get to spend time with our beautiful daughter.

Well,

shall we dig in? Bon Appetit, everyone. There you go. Isn’t this nice? Well… Eat up!

Like sand through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.

So, Lonnie is missing? That doesn’t make any sense. It sure doesn’t. I, I, I couldn’t imagine, you know. What could have happened to her? Okay, okay, why don’t you just walk me through it, okay? So you told me that she, that after the funeral she wanted to stay in the park alone, right? To gather her thoughts? Yeah, but she knew she couldn’t stay too long because Rafe was coming here to take her back to prison.

The last thing she said to me was, Don’t worry, I’ll be there in time, but she never showed. She’s been MIA all night. Okay. Okay, but we both know that she would never run. Oh, no, of course not, Lonnie. Lonnie would never do anything that would keep her away from her babies one minute longer than she needs to be.

So, did she try to call? She’s on furlough. Doesn’t have a phone. Oh, it’s just, it’s killing me to just sit here and wait. Oh, oh, Rafe said there’s no need to panic, but how can I not? Well, and I’m sure Rafe has every available officer out looking for her. No, it’s just him and Jada and Theo. Rafe doesn’t want to get the Salem PD involved because then they’d be obligated to report Lonnie missing.

Of course, of course, I see. Rafe promised me that he would find my daughter before anyone realized that she was gone. But why can’t three people search an entire town? Helena, I am sure they’re doing their damnedest, you know? You’re just gonna have to give it a little bit more time. There is no time. The prison called yesterday, asking where Lonnie was.

Rafe, he’s trying to solve him. He’s doing his best to get this solved before it does become a police matter.

Hey, thanks.

I just came by to pick up a few things from my office.

Any word on the search for Lonnie? Nothing yet. Oh,

God. It’s the U. S. Marshal. Again. When they didn’t return Lonnie to prison last night, they brought out the big guns. This guy’s been blowing up my phone ever since. I don’t know how much longer I can stall him. Yeah, kind of tough not being able to use the department’s resources. It is. If we make this official police business, then this marshal’s gonna know what’s going on.

Yeah, and then Lonnie will be considered a fugitive. There’s just no damn way she would’ve run. Then how do you explain her going missing? I’ve only got one explanation. She’s in serious trouble.

Wasn’t it so nice for our daughter to come and visit us all the way from Maryland after being released from prison? Oh, oh, but she’s refusing to eat just like she did when she was a baby. Look at you. You were so, so skinny. Well, Mama’s just gonna have to help you out the way she did when you were a baby.

So, here we go. Here comes the airplane. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Look what you made your poor mother do. You are not my mother.

Hi. Hey. Come on in. I was just texting John. Yeah, I just got off the phone with Steve. It seems that he and John are in Los Angeles trying to intercept Jerry Prentiss at the bus station. Let’s hope they succeed.

Dammit. Guess we’re wrong about Prentiss heading to L. A. Not much chance we’re gonna find him now. Oh, God.

Jerry Paredes. Who wants to know? Two of Abraham Carver’s best friends.

What’s this all about? How’d you find me? You were in a big hurry to leave Salem, weren’t you Jerry? I needed to get out here for work. The reason you shot out of your window so fast is so we couldn’t question you about Abraham. I already told the police everything I know. No, not everything. You didn’t tell them you were hanging around outside Abe’s hospital room the day he disappeared.

That’s because I wasn’t. That’s not what our eyewitness says, punk. What eyewitness?

Nurse King said she saw this young man hanging around Abe’s hospital room. The day that Abe disappeared, right. And you know, right from the get go, John and Steve thought that the whole thing didn’t add up, what happened to Abe. We all felt that way. Yeah, so they decided to look at everything again, starting with Nurse King’s statement.

You know, the day of his funeral, they laid everything out at our house, and they were looking at it again when Chanel stopped by. She just wanted to get photos for Abe’s funeral, but she gave them some new information. What did she say? That Nurse King seemed very interested in Abe. Maybe even obsessed.

What does that mean? Well, she worked as a volunteer on his campaign. She was at the park the day that he and Paulina exchanged vows. She watched the whole thing. And then, when Abe passed away, she personally went to Pauline’s apartment to give her condolences. Well, all those, all those things individually aren’t a concern, but when you put them together…

Right. It certainly aroused Steve’s suspicion, so he came here yesterday to talk to her. Oh. And is that when she brought up Prentiss? Yeah. Uh, and then she took off looking for me to tender her resignation. She’s resigned? Yeah. I mean, it’s surprising, isn’t it? I mean, she’s worked here for 15 years. She was a stellar employee.

There was beautiful, glowing reviews of her. Did she get a job that was better for her somewhere else? I don’t think so. Then why would she leave? Well, she said that, um, she wanted a fresh start. And that Salem wasn’t the same since Abe died. Well, that’s true. Does it seem a little odd to you that she would resign?

Right around the time that he died? Well, that’s what I thought. But she really talked about him like they were friends. I mean, maybe they were closer and she knew him better than we think. Look, Abe has hosted a number of engagements over the last 15 years. I’ve never seen her in any, and I don’t think I’ve ever heard him mention her name.

You think we should be worried? Well, no, I’m not, I’m not sure. I don’t think… I

just remembered. I treated her. She was a patient of mine. Lonnie, I know you grew up thinking that my sister Tamara was your mama. But I’m the one that gave birth to you. You’re insane. Oh, please don’t be upset. I thought we moved past all of this, remember? You know how sorry I am that I kept that secret for so long.

Now the truth is out. The truth. None of this is even remotely true. Please. Remain calm. Your father is still recovering. Recovering. He would recover a lot faster if you would stop shooting him up with drugs, keeping him catatonic. I take excellent care of Abraham. You are holding him prisoner while the rest of his family thinks he’s dead.

Yeah, that’s right. I spoke to your sidekick, Jerry Prentiss, and he told me all about how you’ve been pretending to be Paulina. You are a liar and a fake and not a thing like my mother. Lonnie’s

in trouble. I can feel it in my bones. Like you said, she’d never run. So, where in God’s name is she? She

just lost her father. You know, maybe, the thought of immediately going back to prison was too much for her. Maybe she just wanted to take a little time Rafe.

I know, but sometimes when we’re grieving, we don’t think straight, and we just, we do something spur of the moment without even thinking it through. Um, Lonnie knows better than anyone what missing that deadline would mean for her future. And besides, Rafe vouched for her, and there’s no way he’d let her down like this.

No, if my daughter isn’t making contact, it’s because she can’t. Look, um, just because she hasn’t contacted you doesn’t necessarily mean there’s anything wrong. You know, I stayed up all night thinking of a scenario where, when Lonnie wasn’t either hurt or in harm’s way and I couldn’t, not a single one. If you think Lonnie’s in trouble, then maybe we should use the department’s help.

I am still holding out hope that there’s a reason that she has gone AWOL. I know we’re under the gun here, but I don’t want to risk it. I don’t want to add time to her sentence and keep her away from her kids. Well then, maybe we’ll just have to find her ourselves. Thank you. Thank you for everything. But I got this, alright?

So you go on home. Get some sleep. Okay. You couldn’t even tell me to take it easy when you were my boss. What makes you think you can do it as a civilian? I’m sorry, that wasn’t funny. No. No, no, no. No, it’s okay. Like I said, I don’t regret anything that I have done. And if I had the chance, if I could go back, I would do it all over again.

And after we find Lonnie, I would love to do it again and again. All the time. Reef Hernandez? Yes. I’m Sam Gerard, United States Marshal’s Office. I understand you have my prisoner, Lonnie Grant? So, where is she?

Did you hear me, Commissioner? Where is Lonnie Grant? Inspector Gerard. I’m Detective Hunter. Why don’t I get you some coffee? You told the Maryland warden that you would have the prisoner back in her cell by Lights Out. Lights Out was at 11 last night. I’ve been trying to reach you since then. Left several messages.

Yeah, I’m sorry about that. I’m Yeah, um So what happened? The acting? Mayor here recently relieved me of my duties, so things have been a little hectic around here. The terms of Lonnie Grant’s release clearly state that she is to return to prison immediately following her father’s funeral. She is in violation of those terms.

You need to turn her over. Yeah, I’m afraid I can’t do that. Why not? Because I don’t know where she is.

It seems as if our little girl is confused. So tell her, Abraham. Tell her who I am. Daddy, you don’t have to do anything she says. She’s crazy. Wow. Not only is Lani confused, but she’s also very disrespectful. So while you’re clarifying things for her, remind her of the Fifth Commandment. Thou shalt honor thy father and thy mother.

Look, I have utmost faith in Rafe. He’s going to find Lonnie, no doubt in my mind. I’m surprised to hear you say that. Why? Look, I know Rafe is a good man and he cares about me and my family. I do not question his character or integrity. But, his detective skills, um. Oh, what about them? I’m trying to find a way to put this delicately.

Forgive me. Okay. Well, I mean, don’t worry about that. Whatever it is you have to say, just say it. I just don’t understand how you can be so sure Rafe is going to find my daughter when he failed to find your son.

My son?

Oh, he went missing a while back and the police still haven’t found him. Am I right?

Yeah, yeah. You’re right. You’re right. They didn’t find him.

And I’m okay with that. Because I know with absolute certainty that he’s alive.

Let me let you in on a little secret, fellas. Whitley King is a liar. I’m not surprised you tried to throw me under the bus. Well, here’s our little secret. We’re going to throw you under a bus, literally, unless you start cooperating. Wait, wait, wait. Why would Nurse King say that she saw you outside Abe’s hospital room if she didn’t?

Why else? Because she’s trying to throw suspicion off of herself. I mean, hello? She works there. She knows exactly how to get a patient past the security cameras. So you’re going on record right now saying Nurse King kidnapped Abe. What possible motive would she have to do that? You’d have to ask her. But probably because she’s freaking nuts.

Hang on a second. Are you saying that she killed Abe too? No, no, no, no, no, no. Nobody killed Abe. Your friend is alive.

Whitley King was one of your patients? According to our file, we had several sessions.

Sessions in the fall of 2021. Well, that explains it. Yeah. That’s why I am only remembering it just now. In the fall of 2021, you were possessed.

Our girl’s got a bit of the devil in her, doesn’t she? Look at her. All that fire in her eyes. Untie me, you delusional bitch, and I’ll show you fire. Oh, my. Listen to that language. We raised her to be God fearing, humble, and honest. The only one not being honest here is you. Lord, give me the strength to hold my temper and my tongue while my husband tells her the truth.

Go ahead, honey. Tell her who I

am. I, uh, I don’t know. I, I don’t know who anyone is anymore.

Daddy. You are Abraham Carver. You are my father and my hero. You are the finest man I have ever known. Dad, I’m your daughter. Lonnie Price Grant. I am your family. This woman is not. She is not my mother and she is not your wife. She’s a crazy psychopath who kidnapped you. Enough! Enough! Enough! Don’t you say another word to him.

Don’t you say another word. As God is my witness, you will be so sorry.

Lying to a federal agent is a felony. I’d arrest you right now. But I have a prisoner to find. We want Lonnie found just as badly as you do. I really hope that’s true. What is that supposed to mean? Grant is a friend of yours, yes? Yeah, I don’t see how that’s relevant. Sometimes we do favors for our friends.

But I might remind you. That harboring a fugitive is also a felony. Lonnie is not a fugitive. She’s missing, okay? So you’re telling me she didn’t run? No, absolutely not. As you know, Lonnie is a model prisoner. She’s up for parole in six months. She’s got two kids back home who she’s dying to see. She would never do anything to jeopardize that.

She already has. And this department is, at best, indifferent to, and at worst, complicit in her escape. If you would just listen to You deliberately deceived the Maryland Department of Corrections and the United States Marshal Service. And you helped him do it. So now, I am going to use the full force of my agency to apprehend the fugitive and make her return to prison.

She’ll remain for a very long time. Okay, Inspector Giroir. Listen, before you make that call,

hear me out, okay? Lonnie used to be a cop. And just, just like the three of us, she risked her life to protect and to serve. She’s a convicted murderer. She killed a man who abused and terrorized her mother. And then Lonnie did the responsible thing and she turned herself in. Lonnie is a good person and a model citizen so I am sure that she has a damn good reason for not being here.

Yeah, Detective Hunter and I, we spent all last night looking for her. Not because we thought that she had fled, because we were worried about her. Worried that something horrible happened. So please, just will you help us find Lonnie before it’s too late.

I’ll make a call. And track Grant using her ankle bracelet. Thank you. If I get a location, we’re gonna head over there together. So I can take your friend to prison. Be

so sure your son is alive if the police can’t find him. They can’t find him. Because I hid him. After I found out that he had faked his own death, to frame Brady for his murder. Oh God. It’s a really long, upsetting story, and after I had heard the whole thing and I knew what he had done and why he did it, I realized that he needed serious help, so his father and I had him sent to a Private psychiatric facility in Europe.

Oh, Kate. I’m so sorry. I had no idea. No, I know. I know. And the only reason I’m telling you now is so that you’ll understand that I do know what you’re going through. When I thought Philip was dead, the pain that I felt, I know that’s the pain you’re feeling now. And I don’t want you to feel that way. I don’t want anyone to feel that way.

But, I have to face facts. What if Lonnie is Lonnie? Lonnie is smart. And Lonnie is strong. And she’s resilient. And I think she’s fine. I just pray that you’re right. I am right. Because God never gives us too much to handle. And you have had more than enough heartbreak for losing me.

Abe’s alive. You told the police that you saw him fall into the river. I lied. I know. To do something like that. Okay. Okay. Nurse King hired me to fake Abe’s death. Okay. I, I planted the blood and the house would bracelet at the docks blood. Where’d you get his blood from? Her, but, but don’t worry. Okay. He, he’s fine.

Oh, uh, relatively. I mean, she’s had him at her home on some pretty heavy sedatives. Oh my god, I’m gonna kill this guy. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. So listen, let me get this straight. This woman paid you to make us all believe that Abe is dead. Why would you sign on to something like that? I signed on to what I thought was an acting gig, okay?

She, she hired me to, to play Abe’s son while she played his wife. And, and, I, I, I thought it was helping him out. I thought it was some kind of like, Or, or, or whatever. And when you realized it wasn’t, you didn’t go to the police? I mean, I wanted to, but she said the, the cops would never take my word over hers.

And that I would go to prison. And, uh, I’m surprised you guys don’t know all of this. I, I told Abe’s daughter already. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You talked to Lonnie? When? Uh, yesterday. Uh, when she came to question me. Lonnie’s not a cop anymore. Yeah, well, she, she came to my door, uh, wanting to talk about Abe.

Wait, and you told Lonnie that Whitley King was holding her father hostage at her apartment? Yeah, and she ran over there to save him.

Alrighty, I suppose breakfast is over. It’s time for Paulina to clean up. You are not Paulina! Your name is Whitley King. You’re a nurse at University Hospital. Do you hear me? You are Whitley King. You’re a nurse. You are not my mother and that is not your husband.

Oh my God.

Nurse King, she was one of the patients that I treated when I was possessed. I shudder to think what I would have said to her. It wasn’t you, Marlena. You could not beat yourself up for the things that you said and did during that time. Let’s

see. Oh, dear God. A poor woman. What a horrible way to lose the man you love. Carbon monoxide poisoning. From a malfunctioning… Space heater, he went to sleep and never woke up. Oh, she and her husband, they had three cats. They died too.

I’m Whitley Kane. Yes. And you need help. I’m afraid you’re confused again. I’m the one that helps people. I helped your father. You kidnapped him. No, no, I saved him. There was this man who hurt him and he wanted to hurt him again, so I saved him. I brought him here and, and, and been taking care of him. He’s getting better.

Oh, Abraham, tell her. Keep telling me. You keep telling me to tell her something. You keep saying you’re, you’re my wife. I don’t know. I don’t know who you are. Daddy, it’s okay. This is all going to be over soon. Okay? I’m going to take care of you. No! I’m the one who takes care of him! Please! Nurse King, listen to me.

I used to be a police officer here in Salem. And I have a lot of friends on the force. Including the commissioner. Okay? If you let us walk out of here, I will go straight down to the station and I will explain everything that happened. I will make sure that nothing bad happens to anyone. Okay? But you, you have to do your part.

You have to set us free. No. Never. No.

When Phillip went missing, I just… I went into a deep denial. You know, I refused to accept that he was gone. Until that became impossible. Why? How so? All of the evidence continued to mount. The trail of his blood leading down to the river. The bloody knife covered in Brady’s fingerprints that was found at the scene of the crime.

I mean, the police couldn’t find his body, but of course now, I know why. But when they found his prosthetic leg in the water, I had to accept the fact that my son is dead. Until I found out that wasn’t true, that he’s alive and…

What are you thinking? That your son’s case… It sounds a whole lot like what happened to my Abraham.

Nurse King, this has to end. No it doesn’t. Nobody knows you’re here. As I’ve said, they are out there looking for me. And not just the police, the FBI, the U. S. Marshals. What are you talking about? They let me out of prison to go to my father’s funeral. But I was supposed to be back yesterday. And by now, I’m sure that there is a full fledged manhunt.

And with all those officers out there, it is only a matter of time before they find me. How? How? How will they find you? I’m wearing an ankle monitor. They can track my exact location.

Everything was fine. You ruined everything. Your father and I were building a beautiful life together until you showed up. You have ruined everything. Miss King, please let us go. No. No, you shut up. I’m not listening to you anymore.

Nurse King confessed in therapy that she woke up one morning for her shift at the hospital and their apartment was freezing. They’ve been having some issues with the heat for a while. Her husband wasn’t feeling well that day, so he stayed home from work. She set him up on the couch along with her cats.

Cut out the new space heater she’d bought. It was a ventless gas heater. Apparently, there was some sort of a malfunction. And the first time Whitney told anyone the whole story was in the session with you. Yeah. She never admitted that to the police. She was too ashamed. She believed that the death of her husband and her pets was her fault.

Well, but the devil did nothing to disabuse her of that notion. I’m sure that’s true. Probably toyed with her. Used her guilt to torture her, made her suffer as much as he possibly could.

I told you everything I know. And if you have any more questions, talk to Nurse King. Can I, can I go now? No. You’re not going anywhere, punk. Because you have aided and abetted a kidnapping. If you come back to Salem with us, I’ll let Rafe know he needs to get over to Nurse King’s right away. Rafe’s not on the force anymore.

Slipped my mind. I need a call.

It’s Steve. I got a location on Grant. Let’s go.

I am begging you. Please don’t do this. This will all be so much easier if you just close your eyes and drift away. So you’re gonna kill me, huh? What do you think that’s gonna do to my father? Believe me, I, I didn’t wanna do this, but you left me with no choice. No, no, no, no.

Left a message for Jada. We can’t sit around here and wait for a call back. No, you need to get ahold of someone in Salem. Tell him that Abe is alive and being held against his will and already on it.

Alina. I was just trying to reassure you. I know, I know you didn’t mean to get my hopes up about Abe. But Kate, there are a number of similarities between his case and Phillip’s. Abraham’s hospital bracelet. was found on the docks along with his blood. So everyone just assumed he drowned. Yes, that’s true.

But a witness saw him fall into the water, but his body just like Phillips was never found. All I’m saying is, it’s not such a huge leap to think that if your son can be alive, then my husband could be too.

That woman was in so much pain and she never got the help that she needed. It says here that her biggest regret is that she wasn’t there when her husband died. That she never had a chance to say goodbye. I wonder if Abe’s death somehow triggered that guilt.

Well, I don’t know whether she will take my call or not, but I do think I need to reach out to her, make sure she’s okay.

Lonnie was right about one thing. We can’t go on like this.

We were so ready to start our new beautiful life together, taking the kiddies and all. Starting a new life filled with happiness and love.

Oh, you’re right. You’re right. It’d be so difficult, especially when everyone’s out there looking for you and learning about the truth of what I did. Just not ready to give you up yet. No, I’m not. I can’t. I just can’t.

This is where Lonnie’s monitor pinged. That’s where Rave fell in the water. Where is she? There! Lonnie! Lonnie, where are you? Lonnie?

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

I am so sorry that I am late. Someone thought it was a great idea to have a water balloon fight in the middle of town square. Which, you know, then means extra cleanup for you know who. Not that I’m complaining or anything. After everything I helped Collin do to Chanel and her family, I am lucky to only walk away with community service.

Although I am committing fashion crimes on a daily basis. Ada, hello? Like, are you listening to me? Sorry, I’m, I’m just, I’m just a bit distracted. Really? Well, what’s on your mind? Rafe, I can’t stop thinking about how being with me has cost him everything. Paulina. Paulina. Paulina! Take a breath, okay? Take a deep breath.

Everything’s gonna be okay. We will find Lonnie. Listen to me. I can stall the prison. No, I do not want to involve Salem PD right now. Paulina, I’m gonna find Lonnie before anyone ever realizes she was even missing, okay? Okay. Okay, good. I’ll be in touch. Okay.

Hey. Hey. So, should I cancel the reservation? Yeah, unfortunately. It’s a madhouse here right now. It’s like everyone decided to get sick on the same night. I’m so sorry. No, but we can, we can go to the beach show another night this week, okay? Sure. Yeah, that’s fine. Really. Just go save lives, Dr. Johnson. I’ll find something to nuke in the microwave and I’ll see you when you get back.

Okay? See you then.

Dear Jing, when you are right, I need to find a way to move on from Gabby for real this time I hope Matchmaker I told you about, she found someone perfect for me or so she claims, and I have a date tonight. Wish me luck.

Hmm. You know, I have to say that you, District Attorney Trascar, are the last person I expected to be having dinner with tonight. I mean, of all the women in Salem, for me to be We’re not in a courtroom, Lee. And here, I’m not the DA. Oh, no? Then, who are you? Um, I’m Melinda. I’m a woman on a date with a very attractive man that I’d like to get to know a little better.

Despite our rather… scratchy… past. Okay then, Melinda, it is.

So, um, what looks good to you? Well, uh, small bar salmon is definitely my favorite. Oh, and mine. So I guess we have a lot more in common than our shared taste in good wine.

So, tell me, why exactly did you let Dimitri move in here? I didn’t. Stefan made that decision unilaterally, which infuriated me at first. But once I had time to think about it, I realized it’s best to keep him close by so we can keep an eye on him. And hopefully influence him to vote his shares in the company.

Well, good luck with that. Yeah, I think we’re gonna need it. So, um, how was Abe’s funeral? I mean, it was a lovely service. But after standing around with friends and family, it just finally started to feel real. Mm. You know, we lost such a good man. He was so kind. Abe was like a father figure to you. Yeah.

Speaking of which, I have some news for you, Daddy. Oh. About our future child. A. K. A. Our baby. Mm hmm. Mm hmm. Yes,

Colin, of course I’m going to represent you at trial tomorrow. And no, I’m not too busy with my new boyfriend. No, he has no ideas. Could be the father of Nicole’s baby. Eric is completely in the dark.

Like sand through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.

So I, I kept hoping I was hearing that wrong, but did the new mayor really fire you? Acting mayor. Yeah, he did. Yeah. You heard right. What is this guy’s deal? I mean, what is he, on some kind of crazy power trip? Please, please tell me you’re at least going to fight this, right? What can I do? I violated department policy.

Ah, so. You and Detective Hunter… Yeah. Yeah. Is it serious? It’s new. We both care about each other. Yeah, I’m happy to hear that. I mean, not that, you know, you losing your job thing, that sucks. Right, yeah. But, uh. Yeah, thanks. I’m glad that you found someone. Yeah. Yeah, me too. I know it was tough. You know, the, the divorce with Nicole.

Uh huh. Yeah. It was, actually. Yeah. But you know what? We were never meant to be. And, um, everyone else saw it. You know, as soon as our marriage became a disaster, everyone knew. Everyone knew she was going back to your Uncle Eric. Yeah. Yeah. Except now she’s with my dad, and we’re having a baby, and just… What?

Nicole’s pregnant? What about our baby? Well, I talked to Dr. Swanson today. And? And everything’s fine. I’m happy to report. But she also said that at our appointment tomorrow, we can… Find out if our little angel is a boy or a girl. I mean, that is, if you want to.

I have to go. I’ll see you at the courthouse tomorrow. Hey. Hey. I didn’t know you were going to be here. Well, you weren’t here, so I let myself in. Well, that’s the point of me giving you a key. Um, how was Mayor Carver’s funeral? Stupid question. I’m sure it was terribly sad. Yeah, it was. So who were you on the phone with before?

And what exactly am I in the dark about? Oh

my god, what are you doing home? I figured you were getting all glammed up. I didn’t want to miss it. I, I know, I know, but hey, I do really love this book you got going on. No. Stop. Okay, this is the look of a woman who got stood up by her uber busy doctor boyfriend. Oh, her uber busy doctor boyfriend who managed to convince someone to go with them tonight so we can still hit up the Hmm.

Well. I was also thinking that since I was uber busy at work overseeing the new install for the security patches for BasicBlock’s entire e commerce infrastructure. That sounds like fun. Yeah, it was a blast. I was kind of more in the mood to stay in. If that’s okay with you. It’s totally fine. Besides, we do have the whole place to ourselves.

Yeah? Where’s Lee? On a date. My favorite movie of all time? Let’s see. It’d have to be Casablanca. Yours? Casablanca is definitely one of my favorites, but I have to say that, um, The Godfather tops my list. The trilogy, completely, and also Citizen Kane. I actually just saw Nope, the Jordan Peele film. Have you seen it?

It’s just great. So you’re a bit of a movie buff, are you? It’s one of my passions.

How’s your salmon? Um, it’s perfect. Yours?

It’s also perfect.

You know, um, I haven’t really hit it off. Like this with someone in a long time.

I haven’t really been dating much since my divorce. Hardly ever, really. I didn’t know you were married. I was, to an abusive son of a bitch. I’m sorry to hear that. Yeah, well, I broke free before things got too ugly. I guess that’s why I have a soft spot for women like Talia Hunter. Hmm, Colin Bedford’s girlfriend.

Yeah, he had this sick hold on her and convinced her to do horrendous things to settle his personal scores. But she broke free of him, thank God. I just, I hope she makes the most of her second chance. I hope you’re not blaming yourself for Rafe losing his job. I mean, it seems like this acting mayor guy is totally tripping.

I know, but Rafe and I still broke the rules. I mean, even though our relationship was 100% consensual. I mean, he just happened to be my boss. I mean, it’s good to know he’s not the kind of guy that would use his position to get someone in the bed. Oh, no, never. Well, believe me, I wanted that man just as much as he wanted me.

I mean, Rafe is an amazing guy. He’s sweet, kind, funny. Wow, Jada, look, if you’re this crazy about this guy, I mean, it just might be worth him getting fired.

Wow, Nicole’s pregnant. I am so sorry, I, I, I thought you already knew that. No, I did not. I mean, I didn’t even think it was possible for her to have a baby. You know, I mean, to carry one to term. Well, it is considered a, uh, high risk pregnancy, but, you know, my dad flew in some expert to oversee it all, so…

Yeah, of course he did. Yeah. You know what? I’m happy for her. Yeah. I’m happy for both of them. I’m sure your dad’s thrilled. Yeah, he is. Especially now that he knows he’s the father. He’s thrilled. To what? Oh. Oh, crap. Uh, you know what? Just, just, just forget that I even said that. No, no, no, no, You gotta tell me now.

Okay, look. I’ll tell you, but you can’t go spreading this around. Okay, yeah, who am I gonna tell? Right, um, Okay, well, uh, The thing is, before they got the DNA test done, There was a chance that the baby was my Uncle Eric’s.

Oh, man.

Well, How am I in the dark? Well, I was just on the phone with my brother. He’s at the jail, and, you know, he starts his trial tomorrow. Oh, and what does that have to do with me? Well, it doesn’t, really. Not directly, anyway. He was just… He was asking about us and how things were going, and… And? And, uh, okay. I’ve been keeping something from you.

We can find out if we’re having a boy or a girl tomorrow. And if you want to. I see. So, do you want to? I don’t know, do you? I don’t know. Okay, great. It’s settled. Are you sure you’re not just saying, I don’t know, because you want me to answer first? No, is that what you’re doing? No, this is not going to go anywhere.

Um, okay, how about this? Why don’t we answer at the same time? Really? What’s wrong with that? I don’t know. It just seems kind of silly. Okay, yes, fine, let’s do it. Okay, ready? Yes. On the count of three. One, two… Okay, wait, wait, wait, wait. Is it one, two, and then our answer? Or is it one, two, three, and our answer?

The second one. So, one, two, three, answer. Yes. Okay. Okay. Ready? Yeah. Okay. One, two… Stop it. Oh, sorry. One, two, three… No.

You don’t want to know the sex of our baby. That’s why I said no. You’d rather be surprised? No, it’s not about being surprised. I’ve had enough surprises with this pregnancy. And what is it? I, I just, I guess I don’t want to, I don’t want to tempt fate. You know, finding out if this baby is a boy or a girl, that’s when it starts to feel real.

You know, I start to wonder, you know, what’s he gonna look like, or, or what’s her name gonna be?

And that’s a bad thing?

I just don’t want to risk it at this point. I mean,

what if I get emotionally attached to this baby and I lose it?

Sloane, no more dancing around. What are you keeping from me?

I’m late.

Uh, as in? Yeah, that kind of late.

Are you saying you might be pregnant?

You know what? I shouldn’t be surprised. Right? I mean, Nicole goes straight from our disaster of her marriage into a paternity mess with two of her ex husbands. It was pretty messy. Yeah. Yeah, par for the course, unfortunately. Yeah, well, you know, I’m not really one to talk, I guess. Yeah. You know what? Me neither.

And, uh, as much as it does hurt that it cost me my job, I must say that I am relieved to be in a drama free relationship with Jada. Yeah. Yeah, drama free relationship sounds really nice. You still seeing, um, Wendy shit? No. No. No, that’s… That’s over. Oh. Yeah. Oh, sorry to hear that. Well, it’s like you said, with you and Nicole, right?

It just wasn’t meant to be. She’s with Tripp now.

Yes, you go, girl. You really love this show, huh? Okay, my Zumo got me hooked. She’s been watching Body and Soul since it started. You gotta love those, uh, smutty family traditions, huh? Okay. No, I, I, okay, I get that you have a soap opera addiction, but can you please explain to me how you can eat this stuff? Oh, it doesn’t compare to filet mignon at the bistro, huh?

Well, it means fine dining when I have you.

And have I told you how happy I am that you chose me to be your boyfriend? I really like hearing it.

And have I told you how sorry I am that I put you through that dumb competition? It’s okay. It’s worth it. Not for Johnny.

Please tell me you don’t feel bad for him. I mean, he’ll probably be back with Chanel by the end of the week, or with some new girlfriend. Oh, I know. Yeah. Johnny will be fine in the romance department. Actually, it’s my brother I’m worried about. Really hope he’s enjoying himself on this date.

So, if you polled most people in Salem, what do you think they’d say about you? What do you think they’d say? That you’re ruthless and a little scary. But I’m seeing a different side of you. The compassionate side. I admire what you did for Talia Hunter. Thank you for saying that. And you know, I’m seeing a different side of you as well.

And I may have been a little harsh with you before. And yes, you did break the law. And I do not condone all you did to keep Gabby in your life. But? But, I’ve had my own run ins with her, and that woman gives as good as she gets. So you understand. No, I sympathize. She and Stefan used the both of us. And, um, in the end they left us in the dust.

They toyed with our emotions. It’s no wonder you wanted him dead. I’m sure I don’t know what you’re talking about. Don’t you? As I’ve stated repeatedly, I had nothing to do with the attempt on Stefan DiMera’s life. Oh, come on, Lee. Don’t kid a kidder. You’re not in the interrogation room with D. A. Trask.

You’re enjoying a nice dinner with a few drinks with your new friend, Melinda. I like you, Lee. And I think something is happening here.

I just need us to be honest with each other. And I promise it goes no further than this table.

What does? You were the one that brought Rolf back to Salem to brainwash Harris Michaels, weren’t you? You were behind the assassination attempt. You

don’t forgive him for sad guy poker? Do I even want to know what that is? No, you’ll figure it out. Alright, I’ll go first. Lost my job. Ah, I think I get it now. Your turn. I lost my girlfriend. Yeah, okay. I, um, oh, my ex wife is having a baby with a guy that I can’t stand. No offense. None taken. Okay, let me see, um, Ah, the girl I was nuts about.

Chose some nerdy doctor over me and my last ex left me for my sister Not even have a hot detective to fall back on so I Think I win, right? Did I just win? I think, yeah, I think you just like you left me right in the dust there, wow I do have a hot detective in my life. So Yeah, no complaints Wow. God. But you know what?

I’ll tell you something. We’re both catchers. Yeah. We are. Right? Yeah, we are. So, you Jada, she better lock this down. And I’m talking all the way down. Down, down. Oh, man. You know? And you know what? For you, I bet that there’s some lucky girl out there right now. She’s just swiping left. Swiping right. Swipe.

Swipe right. Right. Yeah. So she’s swiping right. I’ll take your word for that. Okay. Yeah. I’ve actually got to go meet Jada at the pub right now for a beer. You wanna come? Come on, man. I’ll buy you a beer. You sure you can afford it? Well, probably not actually. You know, you buy the beers. How about that, huh?

Okay, I’ll buy the beers. I’d love to grab a beer with you. I miss hanging out with you like this. Yeah, same. Alright, come on. Let’s do it. Yeah.

What is wrong with me? Here I am with you and worried about my brother’s date. That’s okay, I get it. Lee’s life has been off the rails for a little while and you’re worried about him. Yeah, more than I should be. I mean, he is a grown ass man, for one. And, I’ve been really ashamed of some of the things he’s done lately.

But… But he’s your family. And you love him. Yeah. I do. Okay, so he was fixed up with this date through a matchmaker, right? Mm hmm. Okay, so theoretically, he would have had her vetted and ran through an algorithm of some sort. She should be a pretty decent match for him, right? I hope so. Anyway, that is enough talk about my brother for one night.

He can take care of himself. Yes, he can. Which leaves me to take care of you, Dr. Johnson.

So what do you think? Should we take this to the bedroom?

I’m not judging. I’m really not. I just want us to be open with each other. You did it, didn’t you, Leigh? You sent Commander Harris Michaels after Stefan?

What are you doing? Wait, no, you can’t do that! Give that back! You’re recording me? What? No, I don’t know how that could have happened. It must have been left on from when I was at work. Or maybe when you went to the ladies room after we ordered. No, Lee, I And to think, I was actually having a nice time. What, what did you, pressure the matchmaker service to put us together?

No, Lee, you have this all wrong. And you, District Attorney Trask, are a terrible liar. Especially for someone who gets paid to lie their ass off. Enjoy your salmon. No, I

Mind your business.

Yes, it’s um, it’s a possibility that I’m pregnant. How long have you known? Why don’t we know now? I mean. Not for sure, it’s, I’m only a couple days late. Okay, I see. You know what, look, let’s wait a couple more days and then we just see what happens. We could do that, or we could… Or what? What? I could run down to the pharmacy and get a pregnancy test.

You know what, I’ll be right back, okay? Yeah, I’ll be right back.

Darling, the doctor I brought in has the utmost confidence you’ll be able to carry the baby to term. I know. I know what she said. It’s just, I’ve had so many issues. Okay, okay. So there’s, there’s no guarantees. Isn’t that all the more reason to cherish every moment along the way? I mean, learning the baby’s gender.

It can be a time for celebration. Oh, celebration? Only if it’s a boy, you mean. What? Yeah, what? I know how chauvinistic you Damaris are. Oh, you want a male descendant? Admit it! No! I will not! I will not admit it! First of all, I absolutely adore my daughter, Sydney, as you well know, and I already have a son, obviously.

And also, it’s the 21st century. I’m just as evolved as you are. I am a passionate proponent of gender equality. Yes, really. And forget about equality. Girls are now proving themselves to be superior. Outperforming boys in school, as we’ve all read. Not to mention that members of the female persuasion are just generally…

better people, in my view. They’re kinder, more caring. Wiser. Damn right.

So I would be absolutely thrilled, if our baby turned out to be a girl. So,

when

two cops are in the bed together, like, Do you guys wear uniforms? Okay, just stop. First of all, Rafe and I don’t even wear uniforms on the job. And second of all, my sex life is none of your business, Talia. Carl, look, my personal life is a train wreck right now. So excuse me if I vicariously live through you and your love life.

And just so you know, I’m not gonna stop until you spill. So. Okay. Fine. I’ll tell you. See? And you crack. Making love to Rafe Hernandez is mmm. The bomb. Okay, are you happy now? Way to go, buddy. Rafe,

hey. Hey. Can I talk to you for a sec? Uh, sure. I

am super mortified right now. Oh, no. Shh. Don’t be. You know, I only said that because Talia was being super nosy and annoying. And I just said that to shut her up. Oh. Okay. So you didn’t mean what you said. No, no, I did. I just… Okay, oh my god. I am usually a very private person. And, you know, like I said, Talia just wanted to live vicariously through me because she said that she’s with me right now.

It’s okay. I mean, who doesn’t love positive feedback? Yeah, yeah. So, how do you know Rafe? Uh, he is my ex stepdad. Yeah, he and my mom were married for a time. Oh. Small world. Yeah, totally. Especially in this town, I mean, uh, your sister’s dating my ex stepdad and you pretended to be interested in my ex wife.

I mean, getting a review like that, whether you were pressured into it or not… I mean, it almost makes losing my job worth it. Okay, you sound like my sister now. Well, it’s true. Well, it’s really sweet of you to say, but I’m really sorry what Rawlings did to you. Because you’re with me, your career could be over.

No, no, no, hey, I have no regrets. None, alright? I hope you don’t either. I don’t. Not one. Okay, good. Was there anything else you wanted to talk to me about? Yes, actually. I need your help.

Lee! You’re home! Sorry, uh, I should have texted. I can go. No, no, it’s fine. It’s totally fine. You live here too. Yeah, how was, uh, how was your date? Uh, so Jingwen told you about my being fixed up by a matchmaker? What was I not supposed to? No, it’s okay. What’s one more person known about my romantic failures?

Damn, I guess it didn’t go well, huh? It was a complete disaster, my boy. Another glass of wine, ma’am? I think I’ll be moving on to something a little stronger. Whiskey, need? Of course. And will your companion be wanting another beverage? I’m afraid he won’t be coming back tonight. Or ever.

Well I am glad to hear you say that. But what is most important is that we have a healthy baby. Yes, yes, that is most important by far. And also, what is very, very important, is that our baby is going to be so lucky to have you as their mother. Mm. Wanted to have you as their daddy. Oh. Daddy.

Got it right before they closed. Eric, this is crazy. Why? Well, because I’m probably not pregnant. Yeah, but you said you were late. Yeah, but I’m late by a couple days. I mean, this isn’t unusual for me. There’s only one way to find out.

Okay. Here goes nothing.

Okay, so I see that you want to do this, so let’s just do this and get this over with. I’m sure you hate my guts after everything I did to Chanel. I don’t know you well enough to hate you. But what I do know is that you hurt someone that I care about very much. And I’m not okay with that. And I don’t expect you to be.

Look, for what it’s worth… I feel awful about helping Colin get to Chanel and her family. And I’ll do whatever it takes to make it up to them. You mean that? You probably don’t believe this, but you’re not the only one that cares about Chanel. The last thing I want to do is to ever hurt her again. Well, that’s good.

Because if you

do, then you’ll have me to deal with.

So you have no idea where Lonnie is? No. She’s just gone off the radar. Damn, and if she doesn’t show up soon, it could look like she’s gone on the lam. Yeah, exactly. That’s why I have to find her in time. You can’t get the 712D involved. No. No, no, no, no, no. This is on me. I told Eli when he got called away that I would look after Lonnie.

I’ve already let Abe and his family down once. That’s not true, Rafe. Listen, I cannot be the reason that Lonnie gets more time tacked on to her sense. Listen, I know that this is a big ask. And I’ll bet that acting Mayor Rawlings is already gunning for you because of me. I need a good detective to help me find Lyne

before it’s

Lost love, Chardonnay? That’s what you ordered? Do you know it? Well, yeah, I know it. Pour me a glass and I’ll tell you the story.

Damn it, Melinda. You really screwed this one up, didn’t you?

I’m sorry to hear it didn’t go well. You want to talk about it?

Not really. Maybe tomorrow.

Wow. Sounds like it went ethically wrong. Yeah.

I feel so bad for him.

But we shouldn’t let that ruin our night. Right. Except, Wendy, I want our first time together today. Be special. No talk of ex boyfriends, no broken hearted brothers, no distractions. You’re right. Our first time. It should only be about us. Yeah.

Yes. Have I told you lately how grateful I am to be having a child with you? Well, I always love hearing it. Being this baby’s father, it means the world to me, Nicole. And I know you’re protecting yourself right now, and for good reason. But I hope soon you’ll be able to allow yourself to feel like this baby is a reality.

We are going to be parents together. This is happening.

Is it possible that, like, time could completely stop? Shh. Talking just makes it work slower. So not true. Yes, it is. Eric, look. Look, look, right there. It’s, it’s two lines. Right? Does that mean what I think it means? Yes. Yeah, that does. Oh, my God, Eric. We’re having a baby. We’re having a baby. We’re having a baby.

We’re having a baby!

No! We’re having a

baby. Hey, sweetness. Greetings from La La Land. You’re in Los Angeles? Well, did you find Jerry Prentiss? No, not yet. After John and I missed him at the, uh, bus terminal in Salem. We hopped on a plane, took a gamble that he might be headed here to resume his acting career. Well, that sounds like a good bet.

Yeah, we’ll see. Bus from Chicago should arrive any minute. Well, hopefully he’ll be on it and you’ll be able to ask him what he’s hiding about Abe. That’s the plan. Okay, keep me posted. Oh, and Steve.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Damn it, that was close. Not to mention nerve wracking. And that’s because I got so flustered and blabby. Justin, how many times can I run into Xander before I end up telling him the truth? And boy, did I try to avoid him this time. When I saw him coming across that square, I turned around so fast… That you nearly knocked over that woman with the stroller.

Yes! It was like fate conspired for me to practically run over that baby so I would be forced to tell Xander that Sarah was pregnant with his baby. But you managed not to. Just barely. He’s gotta know something’s up, man. The way I just rattled on about having hot wings for dinner. In the really hot weather.

I know. I was there. Well, at least I said something. You just stood there, quiet as a graveyard. Because I have learned that the best way to keep a secret… is to keep your mouth closed. What secret?

Well, thanks for the update, Bell. Okay, talk soon. Oh, hey, couldn’t hear you come in. Hey there. Hmm.

Hmm. Oh, what a lovely greeting. Hmm, and you’re nice and warm. What did you run home or something? I just walked through the park, actually. Ran into our old friend, Bonnie Lockhart. Oh, was she acting weird again? Very. Banging on about whatever came into her head. Hot wings in hot weather, stuff like that.

She’s so strange. She and Justin seem really uncomfortable around you lately. I don’t get it. It makes two of us. What’s in the package? Ah. This is your anniversary present. What anniversary? Open your present and you’ll find out.

So, I know it’s not our anniversary until next week. What? Got you an early gift. I don’t, I don’t see a gift anywhere. Oh, it’s not a thing. It’s, it’s, it’s something I did. What kind of gift is that? Well, EJ and I, we finally took your advice. We broke her to truce. Oh, that is a great gift. And there’s more. We were gonna kick Demetri out of the house, but Kristen stopped us.

What’s good about that? Because for once, she was right. Best to keep Dimitri here, where we can keep our eyes on him. Guess you’re right. Friends close, enemies closer. Speaking about that, um, I just came from getting up close and personal to one of our enemies.

Yeah, I just sat down. How well do you know what she looks like? Okay. I’ll be on the lookout for a woman with long dark hair wearing a blue dress. Thanks again.

You gotta be kidding me. What the hell are you doing here? Don’t you have a bail hearing or something? You, you don’t understand. Could you please just go to another bar? I’m meeting someone and I don’t want him to find me here with a guy who’s on Salem’s most wanted list. This someone is a, uh, date, right?

How do you know that? Because I have the misfortune of being that poor bastard.

The kid’s finally settled? Yeah, Charlotte is. Thomas made me let him, uh, let him read for a half hour. He’s, um… I’m so pumped about his room. You did such a good job on it. Well, I want him and Charlotte to be happy here. They are. So am I. Thank you for the beautiful flowers. Yeah. Well, we’ve been so busy with the move, we haven’t had a whole lot of time for romance.

I had the same thought. Another delivery? The good kind. Dinner for two from Foo’s walk in. Yeah. You want to pour some wine while I get the door? Yes.

Howdy neighbors, so is this what it’s going to be like living across the hall from you? Ever heard of a shirt?

Like sand through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.

Now is that any way to talk to your new neighbor? Come on in. Hey, do you guys have hot water? Yep. Not me. I’ve been running that thing for like 15 minutes. Well, then go back to your own apartment and call the super. I did. You can’t get a plumber here until tomorrow morning. Thanks for the update. We were just about to have dinner.

Oh, okay. I’ll, uh, get out of your way then. Right on my mind. Hey, do you think maybe, if it’s, uh, cool with you kids, if I grab a quick shower? Hmm.

Did you get me a pizza? It’s not a pizza, Chloe. Oh, darn. I was hoping it was. I’m starving. I’ll get you a pizza. Just open this box. Okay.

There we go. This is a

dartboard. And, and, a new set of darts. Wow. Well, we already have a dartboard o. It’s not there anymore. What happened? Yeah, that one was for amateurs. It was starting off my game. Yeah, blame it on the dartboard. This is a huge upgrade. That one was just bringing me bad luck. This is pub quality. Sounds to me like someone is eager for a rematch.

I’m chomping at the bit. And since you’re wondering what anniversary this celebrates, you believe it’s been exactly three months since you buried a dart worryingly close. To my heart. I’m really sorry about that. I’m not. It was like Cupid’s arrow. I fancied you from that moment on.

Um. Oh, well. Hiya, Justin Teller. I was just speaking. Hypothetically. Yeah, we were just talking about how hot the weather’s been lately. And what we had for dinner. Stuff like that. Oh, and that led you to give Bonnie advice on the art of keeping a secret? Oh, you know, Justin, he’s, uh, he’s always helping me with my big mouth.

And I do so appreciate it, honey, because you know this thing’s got me in some pretty big jams. Mm hmm. I think the two of you are keeping something from me. And I have a good idea what it is.

It’s a family matter, isn’t it? Oh, my God, who told you? He told me himself. You talked to Rex? What does Rex have to do with this? Nothing. No, not a thing. Um, it’s just that he’s in Chicago with Sarah. Uh, they’re in Chicago. Well, of course you know that because, uh, your daughter lives in Chicago and how could you not know where your daughter lives?

Or what’s going on in her life? So I guess the thing that you’re keeping from me has something to do with Sarah.

What? No! Why would we know a secret about Sarah? That’s what I’m trying to find out. Well, it’s not about Sarah, okay? Right, Justin? Justin, you have said one sentence to me since I walked in. I get the feeling you are giving me the silent treatment. Why would I do that? I don’t know. Look, before, uh, when I said I’d talk to someone, I meant Alex.

Oh, so now I’m thinking that… The secret that you don’t want me to know is about Alex and you’re trying to cover for Justin. Am I right? Huh? What? What? What do you mean? What? Huh? Justin, you have to be furious at me, aren’t you? I mean, you know that I’m the reason that your son moved out of the family home.

Look, Alex. Alex, we don’t want you to take a shower here. We want you to go back to your own place and take a cold shower. It’ll probably do you some good. Yeah, that’s the thing, man. The cold shower just won’t cut it. I just came back from a workout, and I smell like a goat. I don’t care. Go home. Listen, Brady and I have a meeting tomorrow morning with a very important client at 8 a.

m. God only knows when this plumber’s gonna show up, and I really can’t afford to screw up another job.

I want you out of here in five minutes. I will be quick, I promise you. And don’t turn the bathroom into a pigsty. Oh, you guys are the best. Hey, thank you so much, babe. Nice shirt.

Okay, I’m sorry. I just, I didn’t want him to screw up his meeting. Right, so he gets to ruin our meeting instead?

I know exactly where to put this. Okay, you know what? I think I should hang that because, as I recall, you’re pretty lousy at hanging things. That’s only because I didn’t have the drywall, but I’ve got them now, so I’m going to be brilliant at it. You’ll see. Okay. Yeah, so you order the pizza and I’ll take care of this.

Okay, fine. The usual? Meat with more meat and extra meat on thin crust? That’s my girl. And while we’re waiting for it to arrive, it’s game on. Although this time, when it’s your turn. I’ll remember to duck.

Gabby, I cannot believe you went to talk to Lee on your own. We have talked about this. I know but he was that we were letting him get away with it. We weren’t doing anything about it. Because we have proof of how dangerous he is, Gabby. Lee and Megan want me dead, you know that. That’s exactly why I did what I did.

And what was that? I just, I sort of gave him a taste of his own medicine. I hate to even ask what that means. We talked. Okay, we were talking, and then I could tell I wasn’t getting to him, so… I did something to make my point. What something? Stephen, I pulled a gun on him.

This cannot be happening. We, we did not hire the same matchmaker. A lady named Cheryl Angel? Promised you a match made in heaven, right? Yeah, instead I got the blind date from hell. Okay, just so you know, the feelings of repulsion are mutual. If I I was meeting you, I would have had the florist put extra thorns on that rose.

I am the district attorney. I cannot be seen having drinks with the man who is going to prison. You’re leaving? Yeah. Cheryl Angel knew exactly what she was doing. Either she’s going to give me my money back, or I’m going to bring her up on charges. She doesn’t know about me. What, you think she reads the police blotter?

Give her a break. She’s just trying to make a living. Then she’s an incompetent. How could anyone think that we would be a match? We have absolutely nothing in common. I wouldn’t go that far. Name one thing. In the train wreck known as the affair between my ex wife and Stefan DiMera, you and I are both collateral damage.

I hate to say this, but you have a point. Then, why don’t you sit down. Back when I was hopeful about tonight, I ordered a very nice bottle of wine. We can drink to the happy couple. Wish them all the misery they so richly deserve.

Fine. But for the record, we are not in the same boat, okay? True, I had a thing for Stefan at some point, but you, on the other hand, have a psychopathic obsession with Gabby Hernandez. I loved her. I still do. But I’m not a nutjob. Mm hmm, because only a sane man would brainwash Harris Michaels into killing his ex wife’s lover.

Okay, this is a charge you cannot prove. Give me time. Back to the main topic of you and Stefan. Uh, we were never on that topic. You wanted him. Way more than you let on. Oh, really? And you know this how? Why else would you get in bed with him and moan and groan so I’d think he was screwing you instead of my wife?

You can’t deny what you did. I walked in on you. Oh, for God’s sake. That was all staged. For your benefit. Well, whoever’s benefit it was for, it was an idiotic idea. You were an intelligent, beautiful woman. And you let Stefan DiMera use you. Be honest, that has to hurt.

I cannot believe you did such a stupid thing. What if Lee had gotten the gun away from you? What if he had used it on you? He doesn’t have the cojones to do something like that. Just tell me the gun wasn’t loaded. Stefan, what good’s a gun with no bullets in it? I can’t believe this. You… I wasn’t going to shoot him.

I just wanted to scare him. I wanted him to know that if he ever came after you again, I will get him, and I will. I am not going to lose you again. I can’t. What if I don’t want to lose you, Gabby? You thought about that? What if you’re wrong about Lee? What if he had gotten the gun away from you? My brother is a cop.

I know how to handle a gun. You are so far off the deep end right now. You are so hell bent on stopping Lee and Megan from killing me that you keep putting yourself in danger. It has to stop.

It’s been a lot longer than five minutes. I know. I’m really sorry. You don’t have to keep saying it. I should have put this in the oven. It’s getting cold. No, what we should do is just go ahead and eat. But when he comes out, I’m kicking him out. I need you to back me up this time. I will. I promise. We’re still gonna have our evening.

Right.

Spring rolls? Yes. Hmm. We’re having a romantic evening. Mm hmm. Mm hmm. Hey there, lovebirds. Thanks for the shower.

That’s my robe. I know, you got a little something on ya, pal. Uh, but you told me not to come out in a towel anymore, so… I didn’t tell you to take my robe. I couldn’t fit it all in a Stephanie’s, that’d be much worse than a towel. But, if you insist, I mean… No! You drop that robe, you’re dead.

Well, if I do say so myself… It’s very well hung. Said the chorus girl to the Archbishop. Yeah. There’s a reason I like you. You’ve got a filthy mind and a terrible aim . You know, let’s hope that that board stays up there, because I would hate for it to fall the moment I hit my first bullseye. If a massive earthquake, what a hit, Salan, and that wall started to crumble, our dartboard would stop it from falling.

You think? I know. That’s a bearing wall. It might save the whole building, thanks to my expert installation. I think you really believe that. Why? You love my big ego? I certainly like taking advantage of it, that’s for sure. Oh, so you’re feeling pretty sure of yourself, huh? You want to make this interesting?

Yeah, I do. If I beat you, you have to give me a shoulder massage. Hmm. Well, if I win, you have to give me… A foot massage. No, no, no, no, buddy. That’s a lot to ask. We are three months in. I do not touch feet. Oh, so not so confident after all, huh? Oh, no, I am, and the thought of touching your feet is motivation enough, so.

Step aside, please.

I am not giving you the silent treatment. You have to be disappointed that Alex moved out. I am. I liked having him here, especially after Sonny moved out. But, I’m not angry with you. You and Alex are now working for competing companies, so it only makes sense that you live in different places. He’s working for DiMera because I fired him.

And then you generously hired him back, and then he turned your offer down. Alex is a grown man. He makes his own decisions. In fact, I just learned that he found a new apartment and a building with all sorts of amenities. Oh, good. Good, good, good. I’m glad. Listen, I don’t resent Alex’s decision to stay on at DiMera.

I mean, as you know, I hired Chad in his place, and I’m very happy. A good choice. Fantastic. So, can we consider the air cleared? Yes, we can. Whew! But, um, I’m still wondering, uh, why you brought up Rex’s name and Sarah’s. Oh, um, well, I meant to say Alex when I said Rex’s name. I just got confused because, you know, both of their names have X’s in them.

And then I brought up Sarah because you thought I brought up Rex. They live in Chicago. Yeah, but you weren’t talking about Alex. When I walked in, you were talking about keeping a secret. For Pete’s sake, I can’t take this anymore. Bonnie. No, no, I gotta do something. I can’t. I can’t just keep this between you and me, alright?

And who better to tell than Maggie? Well, then what is it? Tell me what it is. You wanna know if this is about Sarah, right? Yes. Well, it is. Sarah, your daughter, is keeping a big secret from you. And I’m the poor schmazo who happened to find out what it is.

Bonnie, do you really want to do this? What isn’t Sarah telling me? Maggie’s not just Sarah’s mom, she’s a really good mom. And if Sarah were my daughter, I’d want to know about this. About what? Sarah is, Sarah’s, Sarah’s,

Sarah’s seeing Rex again. She is? Yes. How do you know? When I went to visit my little grandbaby, it was Rex’s week with her, and then Sarah was in the apartment, Rex’s apartment, when I walked in. But that’s, I mean, they’re together. Together. Bonnie, a woman knows these things, alright? Sarah’s expec was not expecting to see me and her with Rex.

And that’s when Sarah made Bonnie promise to not tell anybody, including you. So Sarah’s with Rex and she doesn’t want me to know. I wonder why. Probably because she knows you have a soft spot for Xander. Xander and Sarah are divorced. What does he have to do with this?

Oh, you might as well throw in the towel, love. You’ve only got one dart left. I can still win if I hit Cork. Well, you’re throwing that dart. It’s more likely to end up landing in County Cork. Ha. Stand back. Don’t have to tell me twice. Oh, God, I’m really gonna enjoy watching you rub my feet. Quiet. I am concentrating.

I get it. Look, I, I get why you’re upset, Stefan, but I had to face Lee. Don’t, don’t you see? I had to look at him in the eye and make sure he understood that there’s no chance I will ever get back together with him. Lee has never… You’re going to believe that, Gabby. No matter what you say or do, the guy’s obsessed.

Not anymore. No, no, really. The only person he listens to is his sister, and Wendy convinced him to move on. He even hired a matchmaker. Huh. You’re kidding. No, no, really. I saw the profile that he wrote for himself on his laptop. Look, I didn’t really believe it, but he swore that he has a date tonight, so maybe he will meet the woman of his dreams and finally we can get on with our lives.

I don’t need to explain myself to you, Mr. Shin. And I’ve wasted enough of my night, so don’t be offended if I end our date permanently. You’d be doing me a favor. Why would I want a woman who wasn’t good enough for Stefan DiMera? I would not insult me if I were you. I can still up the charges against you to conspiracy to commit murder.

And for being an ass in the first degree.

Lost Love Chardonnay? That’s what you ordered? Do you know it? Well, yeah, I know it. Pour me a glass and I’ll tell you the story.

You happy now? Do you see me smiling? Wow, I really don’t get what the big deal is. Yes, I took your robe. You took my job at Titan. Alex, that’s not fair. Hey, I’ll give the robe back tomorrow, I promise you. I will even wash it. As long as you’re okay with the cold water because that’s all I got. I’ll make you a deal.

Keep the robe. Looks great on you. Oh, thank you, Chad. That’s right neighborly of you. Silly part of the deal. You move out of the building.

Why would I move out of this great building? I’ve got the gym, I’ve got the pool. Don’t even get me started on the location. Yeah, and that’s your favorite part, isn’t it? You took the apartment because you could be right across the hall from Stephanie and me. Actually, I was talking about my five minute drive to my office.

Dude, I know you’re still hung up on Stephanie. Dude, I’m in the room. Stephanie, please, tell this guy that we are just friends now. It’s true.

Buddy, I moved out because I couldn’t live with Maggie anymore. And yes, coincidentally, I landed a place across the hall. And I know that we don’t like each other that much, but maybe… We can learn to be good neighbors. Good Neighbors? Good Neighbors, you’re showing up half naked when my daughter’s in the other room.

Whoa, uh, I’m sorry, I didn’t even think of that. You don’t think? Chad, a word? You and I have everything we want. We can afford to be a little bit understanding. Oh, come on. No, you come on. Please, why don’t you let this go so we can get back to our night together?

You alright?

Alex, welcome to the building. Thanks, man. Who’s walking in? Oh my god, that is my favorite place. Are you kidding me? The spring rolls. Have you tried these yet? Oh

my god. Do you think maybe you guys could let me stay for dinner? Neighbors.

I can’t believe it. Ha ha ha, believe it. I’m ready for that shoulder massage. Uh huh. Ooh.

Ooh. Oh yeah, that feels good. Maybe I don’t mind losing so much after all. Oh my god, did I ever tell you

that you that you have the greatest hands?

Um,

Um, Um, Um, Um, Wanna play beat the beat,

son? Xander is with Chloe now. He and Sarah split up months ago. From what I can see, about six months. Sorry? What Bonnie is trying to say is that it hasn’t been that long since Sarah and Xander split up. And since we know that you were very supportive of their relationship, it must be very difficult to see them with other people.

True. True. And Sarah has history with Rex. And he’s made it very plain that he wants her back. He’s just not my choice for my daughter. He cheated on her and hurt her very badly. Maybe that’s why she feels she can’t tell me. Because she’s forgiven him, but I don’t know if I can. Oh, honey, it hurts when they keep me on the outside.

I mean, Mimi didn’t tell me that she was pregnant with Rex’s baby until she was like five or six. But kids grow up. They make their own decisions. Yeah, yeah. Well, I’ll call Sarah after dinner. Maybe she’ll open up to me.

Thank you, Bonnie, for telling me. I, I wish Sarah had.

That worked out okay. I need a drink.

The summer after law school. I had a few weeks off before I started my job. In the spur of the moment, I decided to take a bike trip through Napa. Stop at a lot of vineyards. Mind you, I didn’t know a thing about wine. But you know, when I’m ignorant about something, I, it drives me crazy, so I just dive in and I try to become an expert.

Also served you well in law school. Graduated first in my class. Editor of the Law Review. But I’d never done a trip like that before. And I just felt… so free. Anyway, um… The last winery I stopped at was Lost Love Vineyards. And they had just released this vintage. I took one sip and I thought it was the most, oh, exquisite wine I had ever tried.

And I was keeping a journal. I’d peel the labels off each bottle I tried and I pasted it in my journal next to my notes. But that day I, I was so lost in the wine and that free feeling. I forgot to take the label. I tried to remember the name later, and it just wouldn’t come to me. So I, I put the trip and the wine out of my mind and I became a workaholic again.

Until tonight. I saw that bottle and it all came back to me.

You felt that free feeling again? Yeah. I did.

Wow. You know, I feel sorry for the poor woman who gets paired up with Lee. That guy should come with a warning label tattooed across his forehead. I could care less about that chick. I just hope Lee falls head over heels in love with her and just, we can stop worrying about him. Yeah, maybe. I don’t want to talk about him anymore.

Our anniversary is next week, and we’re finally getting married. It’s going to be one of the happiest days of my life.

Except I have to tell you something.

What? I don’t know if that’s going to work for me.

What’s not going to work for you? Are you saying you don’t want to marry me? I’m saying, what if I decide to get reckless like you did, and I go meet Megan in a back alley somewhere with a gun? Or what if I show up to Rolf’s secret lab with a crossbow and I attack him for brainwashing me? Or better yet, what if I show up to one of these blind dates with a matchbook and a gallon of gasoline?

Okay, you’ve made your point. Have I? Yes, I get it. And as one of my pre wedding vows to you, I promise I won’t ever, ever go after any of our enemies again. I don’t believe you. What? Gabby, you’re always going to want to bring the fight to anyone who hurts us. All that I’m asking is that next time, take me with you.

Okay? You seem to think you’re invincible. But you’re not. And I don’t want to lose you any more than you want to lose me. I know. I promise.

Thank you. Now I just have to find the journal. You don’t have it? You lost it.

Well then you’ll just have to start another one.

Just try smiling more often.

At least I learned that we actually do have something in common. We both love this wine.

Why don’t you stay for dinner? Finish the bottle with me. Oh, what the hell.

You guys got any more of this wine? Uh, no more wine. And it’s time for you to go. Take some mooshu pork. Oh, thank you. That’s breakfast tomorrow. Great. Good luck with your meeting tomorrow. Ah. Okay. Well, um, thank you guys for everything. Why?

Uh, sorry about your robe. Eh, who needs robe when I get to live with you.

What are you thinking about? I’m thinking that if someone would have told me three months ago that I would be on this couch making love with you, I would have said that they’re nuts. Life is certainly full of surprises, isn’t it? Yeah, it is. Except when it comes to darts and Chloe versus Xander, because clearly I always win.

Wait, so I don’t even get a chance to save my dignity? Okay. Set him up again.

Wow. That was not my fault. Right. No, I’m serious. When we were making love before, I definitely felt the earth move. Oh yeah? An earthquake? Yeah, must have been. Now we can’t play darts. How are we going to fill the time until the pizza gets here? I’m sure you can think of some ways.

Okay, so when your mom calls, you’ll have an explanation? Okay, honey. Thanks. You’re a doll. Bye.

So, Sarah’s not upset? Well, she’s gonna back me up about her and Rex. But she still doesn’t want Xander or anyone else to know she’s pregnant with his baby. She’s still determined to keep the secret? Oh, for sure. I still say secrets have a way of coming out. Especially when that secret’s a baby.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

One for you, and one pour moi.

Poison free, I trust? Oh, I believe you, and I’ve moved past all that. Have we? Because I’m still a little confused as to why you invited me out for drinks. Well, I thought we should discuss the fact that our sister Megan has vanished after trying to have you killed. You disappointed she didn’t succeed? No, in fact, I was the one who tried to stop her.

Believe me, I hate that it’s come to this. But I don’t have any other options. Yes, of course, I’ll send the money right away. You just better come through for

me. Gabby. On coincidence, I was just thinking about you. Asking

for his shared custody of my daughter. Julie, that’s not an unreasonable request. Are you serious? You kidnapped Rachel. So maybe if you, I don’t know, give her back, my brother would be willing to negotiate. You know what, Belle? Breaking news. Brady took Rachel just before you arrived. And he was not willing to negotiate.

So you did take Rachel. No, I did not say that. Then what are you saying? That she just showed up? Yes! Yes, that is exactly what I’m saying, and thank God she did because Brady was about to shoot me.

Baby, you, you called the police? Um, when? We got the report about 20 minutes ago. It was when you started to get gas! Baby, why would you do that? Well, why? Because you

tried to kill my Well, between Rachel Black’s disappearance, the police commissioner being sacked, and Mayor Carver’s funeral, I would say that we have a pretty solid issue here, so well done everybody. I’ll see you all bright and early in the office tomorrow morning. Okay.

Surprised I haven’t heard from my darling fiancé today. Wonder what he’s up

to. Extends through the hourglass. So are the days of our lives.

Hello, love. Um, Look, ring me when

you get a chance. I’ve just finished work and I was, well, I was hoping that perhaps we could meet up tonight. I mean, if we are to be married by the end of the month, I think we should probably get a start on, um, getting things sorted. Yes?

You know, my darling. The more this sinks in, the more excited I get. I cannot wait to be your wife.

Well,

that was quite the workout. Yeah. Who needs a gym membership, right? I think I might just cancel mine. What was that last move you did? Oh, I call that the Ariana Grande. A little bit of sass really gets the crowd going. Aren’t you my little pop culture aficionado? And I find it works especially well on emotionally unavailable men.

Well, I’d have to agree with you on that. So, need time for another round? I could show you my Dua Lipa. An intriguing offer, but I think I’m gonna need time out.

Missed call from Gwen.

I hate deceiving her like this. And normally I don’t mind being sneaky and duplicitous. Because, truthfully, most people deserve it. But Gwenny, she’s my ride or die. My confidant, my most loyal friend in the entire world. It’s all very touching, Leo. But what about what you deserve? What makes you happy? You know, what you want.

You’re enjoying this, aren’t you? Oh, God, yes. That’s the problem. I am betraying my best friend over a magic disease. Why do you keep calling it that? Oh, it’s just an inside joke between Gwen and me. Which has now lost its inside joke status and become a dirty little secret. Since she has no idea that we are hooking up behind her back.

Leo, we need to find a way to get you over this guilt. Oh. How am I supposed to do that? How would I not be a heartless bastard if I didn’t hate myself for this? So now I’m a heartless bastard? Because I’m not torturing myself over the guilt? Because I’m not beating myself up over this? No! Well, I mean, sort of.

Look, look, isn’t there some other woman you can bamboozle? Someone who isn’t so kind and sweet and knows exactly which episode of Frasier to put on when I’m in low spirits. You know I’d love to, but it’s too late. The wheels are in motion. If I want to see any part of this inheritance, I need to be married by the time I turn 40, which we both know is at the end of the month.

There’s just not enough time to find someone else. You say that, but, but, but, but, but, but, I used to work at a bowling alley with a woman named Amy. Spelled A I M E and I think another E. I sincerely like Gwen. I care about her. I really do. And I’m not so heartless that I don’t feel bad about deceiving her.

Just right now. I’m stuck.

At least, now I’m stuck with you.

You tried to stop Megan from killing me. Why do you think she locked me up in the tunnels? Figured you were her next victim. No, no, you see, I overheard her on the phone plotting her brother’s demise. At first I thought she was referring to me, but in a moment of desperation she confessed that it was you.

Who is the intended target? In here, I thought she liked me. She tried to rope me in on her plan, her usual Machiavellian craziness, but when I refused, she knocked me out. Wow. Guess I’m a little baffled. Baffled why? Because had you gone along with Megan’s Machiavellian craziness, you’d be free of me. Who you obviously loathe and detest, and you’d be running DiMera all on your own.

All you had to do was keep your mouth shut. Why didn’t you?

You were thinking about me. How was that? Well, I heard about your terrible ordeal. How Rolf attacked you and handcuffed you to Megan’s hospital bed. Can’t imagine how frightening that must have been. Scary as hell, all right. And I swear to you on everything that’s holy, if I ever get my hands on that slime bucket, I will rip that stupid ponytail off of his head and strangle him with it.

And he would certainly deserve that. But what were you doing visiting Megan alone? Well, you insisted that Megan hired Harris to kill Stefan, so I wanted to confront the Puppet Master face to face. I see. You shouldn’t have gone there alone. That’s what Stefan said. But, you know, I promised him that from now on, we will be doing everything together as a team.

No more going rogue. However, today, I’m making an exception.

About to shoot you? Give me a break, Kristen. Brady would never shoot anyone. Oh, but you are so wrong. He actually announced it. He pointed a gun at me, and he proudly proclaimed that he was going to murder me. You’re lying. Brady doesn’t even own a gun. It was a loaner from John. Well, I still think you’re lying.

Because if Brady would have threatened you with a gun, you’d be at the police station right now. What’s that old mob saying? Singing like a canary? But instead, you’re sitting here bragging. Begging for my help. Oh my god, please, please. Do you think the police are going to believe me? No, I mean it’s his word against mine.

And whether you believe me or not, I am telling the God’s honest truth. Brady tried to murder me in cold blood. He has gone completely over the edge. Well, if that’s true. That’s because you pushed him. Oh my God. Even if that were true, does that justify that he tried to kill the mother of his child? Oh my God, Kristen.

You have lied to all of us so much, and made So many people miserable, not to mention that you have been about to kill numerous people, numerous times, and damn near succeeded. So it shouldn’t come as a surprise to you that I feel zero sympathy for you. And I have zero faith that everything you’re telling me right now isn’t some sinister attempt to screw someone over.

In this case, my Brother who I love and trust and wish I’d never gotten involved with the likes of you. So sorry, Kristen. No, I will not help you. You’re on your own.

Detective Hunter, look, this is a complete misunderstanding.

But I saw you! were I must ask you again. Is what Rachel is saying true? Did you pull a gun on Kristen DeMera and threaten her life with it? This is what’s true. Yes, I went over to Kristen’s house. And we did have a, we had an argument. Alright, I mean, she kidnapped my daughter. No, she didn’t! Yep, Rachel, honey, please don’t lie about this.

I’m not lying!

Look, I may have, I may have said something in the heat of the moment. Like, I ought to kill you, but I didn’t mean it. And I had no gun. I don’t own a gun. He put it in

that drawer when we got home.

It’s locked. Do you have a key?

Code, please? Yeah.

Mr. Black, can you find a sitter for your daughter? I think it’s best if we finish our conversation down at the station. No, come on. You’re not serious about this, are you? I am dead serious. When you pull a gun on someone, there are questions that need to be answered.

Gabby, what are you doing? Where’d you get the gun? Oh, I could get my hands on a gun whenever I need one. And I definitely needed one. See, I just, it’s insane to me that Trask would let you walk free after you tried to kill Stefan. I told you, it was Megan DeMera who wanted Stefan dead. I thought you’d believe me.

I do. But I also believe that you were her partner in crime. You’re wrong. I had nothing to do with it. That’s where Trasluc and me go. There’s no evidence. I don’t give a damn about the evidence! I know you’re involved! And if you think I’m just gonna sit around waiting for you to, to attack Stefan again, you are sadly mistaken!

While it’s true that you and I have had our differences, and that I’d prefer to have you out of my way, Tamira, but that’s a far cry from condoning your murder. After all, we’re family. You’re my brother and I will always feel a deep connection to you. I wonder if anybody’s got a tissue box. Mark me all you want, but if there is one thing father impressed upon me strongly, is that family loyalty is extremely important.

Well, he never impressed that upon me because I never got to meet the mighty Stefano DiMera. I think you two would have gotten on quite well. Actually, you remind me a lot of him. In fact, I would go as far as to say that you’re more like him than I am. Oh, thanks. I think.

You know, a while ago you and Gabby proposed we call a truce. I was too stubborn at the time to see it, but you were right. I think it’s time we started working together as a united front. And why? Megan’s gone. She’s probably off somewhere, setting up a mosquito net. Well, for now. But I suspect she’s already plotting return.

And in the meantime… She’s left a fox in the hen house.

If you happen to come across my chapstick, do be sure to keep it at room temperature. Oh, I will be sure to. I’ll call you later and, um, remember to keep your mouth shut. That’s not what you were saying earlier. Mr. Stark, you are incorrigible.

Auntie Kristen, how’s your day going so far? Well, definitely not as good as yours. What’s that supposed to mean? It means… Who were you sneaking out of the house just now? Was it your girlfriend? Her boyfriend.

And that’s when I ripped up the custody agreement. I was pissed that she was going to use my daughter as leverage. So you tell me. But then you decided to take matters into your own hands. Not another word. I told you not to talk to the police until I got here. Well, I know, but I didn’t figure there was any point in waiting because my daughter already told Detective Hunter everything that went down, okay?

Besides, I’m not gonna lie. I’m not gonna lie about this or anything else because earlier today, I accused my own daughter of being a liar and I pretty much hated myself for that. So, I’m just, I’m, I’m gonna be honest. Completely honest here. It’s what’s best for everyone, okay? Besides, the truth always has a way of coming out.

My, my, my boyfriend. I assure you, I

have no idea what you’re in my ear. She said that yesterday, uh, she saw you and Leo Stark in bed together. Now, she thought it was a sleepover, but us grown ups know better. Yes, yes, I, that, I, I can explain. No, no need, no need. I figured it all out on my own. Figured what out? I happened to catch Stark with his hands in the cookie jar.

Yeah, he was snooping around here trying to figure out why you’re about to marry his best friend. I summarily threw him out, but somehow he must have doubled back. I’m guessing he found the codicil about your inheritance, and before he could blow the whistle… Well, you let him, you know,

blow the whistle. Colorful way of putting it.

But correct. Yes, I had no choice. I had to keep the chatterbox quiet, and so I took one for the team. Oh, manner of speaking. I’ll be the first to admit it. It’s all rather demeaning, having to resort to such lengths. So, I… Trust. You will keep this between just the two of us. Of course. I have a vested interest in you receiving that inheritance of yours.

You do? Mm hmm. How else am I gonna get my cut of the von Leuschner?

Merchant. Marty, I was wondering where you were. You missed the spectator meeting. Oh, the meeting, that’s right. Totally slipped my mind. Obviously, since you’ve been M. I. A. all day.

Care to share what you’ve been up to? Well, I, um, I have been working on my fabulous new column about… Get this, do you know that there’s an app just for cuddling? Creepy, right? Although you would be surprised how many people are starved for intimacy. All this is just to say that I have been doing some gonzo journalism, a la Hunter S.

Thompson. Hey, with a better skincare routine. Right, okay, yeah, um, what I understood from all that rambling that you just did now is that you’re writing a column on cuddling. Why, you don’t believe me? Well, it’s, um, I don’t know, it’s not very lady whistleblower like, is it? In fact, it sounds like a total snooze.

And also, you barely said a word to me last night, and then you were gone before I woke up, and you and I both know that that never happens, which is why… I get the feeling that you’re avoiding me. What? Gwen, you’re my best friend. Why would I be avoiding you? Because of Dimitri. Dimitri, what about him? Ever since I said yes to his proposal, you’ve been…

distant. And I know you’re not a fan of him, but… Gwenny, I told you, I’ve been working my little tooth shop, burning the midnight oil. I’m not avoiding you.

Okay, I… I know, I just, oh, I suppose I’m just being a bit paranoid is all. It’s just I haven’t heard from Dimitri today, which is a bit odd, don’t you think? Given that we, we just got engaged.

I

think

I made a

Gwenny, I have a confession to make.

The reason you haven’t heard from Dimitri is because… He’s been with me.

So you don’t trust Dimitri? Why would I? And why would you? We both know he and his mother are thick as thieves. It wouldn’t surprise me if he’s agreed to carry out her nefarious plan, spying with that bitch from afar. What you’re saying is you think we’re all still in danger. Which is why right now, Cooler Heads must prevail.

We need to put aside our differences and deal with our nephew. How do I know this isn’t some 3D chess move designed to get me to let my guard down? Well, you’re just going to have to trust me. Sounds like a foolish enterprise to me. Oh, for God’s sake, this was your idea. Yes, I know. But, I meant it. So did I.

Look. Why don’t we shake on

it? Okay. Fine. Great. Wonderful. Now, let’s figure out, together, how to deal with that chip off the old block Dimitri von Luischner. I think I know exactly where to start.

Gabby, put the gun down. You’re not gonna shoot me, okay? You don’t have it in you. Is that what you think? Oh, oh, you don’t remember. You’re not the first ex husband that I, that I would shoot and kill. Maybe you and Nick Fallon can compare notes where you’re burning it out. Okay, hey, hey. You don’t have to do this, okay?

You’re gonna end up in prison. Orange jumpsuit, solitary confinement. Been there, done that. You have left me no choice, thanks to you. Because you attacked Seven at our engagement party. Who’s to say you won’t do it at our wedding? Because I won’t. You have my word. Your word? Your word is crap. It is meaningless.

You loved me once, Gabby. Remember the great times we had together? I was a fool to even give you the time of day. Let alone love you, you Sick bastard. But you know what? I do love Stefan. With all my heart. He is the love of my life. And I will do anything to protect him.

Gabby, just listen to me. This isn’t necessary. I’m not going to go after Stefan. As much as I’m still in love with you, I get that we’re over. I know that now. Oh yeah? Since when? Since my sister came to visit me at the police station. Jingwen made me face some hard truths. Including the fact that I shouldn’t throw my life away over you.

Admittedly, it’s difficult to hear, but she’s really smart, and she’s also right. So, I’ve decided to move on with my life. I’m gonna stop ruminating over the past, pining over you. Believe it or not, I even hired a matchmaker. Matchmaker? Have a look at my laptop. I, I, I filled out a profile on everything.

I don’t recall you being a cat lover. You’ve listed Lisbon as your home away from home. I, I never seen you reading the Wall Street Journal. I’m looking for someone who’s a little sophisticated. Maybe. And I’ve visited Portugal, it’s one of my favorite countries. And I even fed a stray cat for a little while when I was in college.

I’m trying to cast a wide net, okay? God help the woman that you do catch. But I think the evidence is convincing. No? No, I’m trying to move on from you. And Gabby, I promise, I swear, I’ve come to my senses about you. I’ve accepted that you don’t love me and you never will. And I’m not going to come between you and Stefan.

So you just expect me to hand over a portion of my inheritance to you? Well, I think it’s only fair, Dimitri, that given that safeguarding your secret comes at a great cost to me. You see, Gwen is my friend and former cellmate, and now I have to lie to her. Right. I’m sure that’s gonna be a real hardship for you.

You snide son of a bitch. You know what’s a real hardship for me? Is being separated from my daughter. And if I have any hope of getting custody of her, I’m gonna need all the power and money I can get my hands on. Fine. How much money do you need? Do you have a number in mind? A number? How long is a piece of string?

Just tell me how much you need, dammit. Well, I figured since your mother’s gone AWOL, I can just have her piece of the pie. I don’t think Mommy Dearest will be too keen on that. Well, Mommy Dearest shouldn’t have tried to kill Stuffin. Or drugged me and EJ and… Cruelly hell dust amongst aging bottles of e nil.

Oh, but you weren’t in on that, were you, sweetie? Absolutely not. Oh, well good. Then, uh, if Megan Haddon had been so disappointing, I mean, some say she was rotten, conniving, evil sister, um, she could have stayed here and enjoyed all her money, but I’ll be happy to enjoy it for her.

So, Nephew, do we have a deal? Ah, there he is, our bon

vivant nephew, Dimitri. You know, your uncle and I, we were just talking about how nice it’s been getting to know you, and how we hope that you Stay in touch. Stay in touch. Are you two going somewhere? No, you are. Pack your bags and get the hell out of our house.

So, wait. Why were you with Dimitri? Okay, remember how I told you I was going to go back to his house to snoop around, play detective? Napoleon, according to plan, I was going to break out my sexy fishnet police costume and make a citizen dressed. Yes, because you thought that Dimitri had some sort of an ulterior motive for wanting to marry me, because you wouldn’t shut up about it, which was getting very tiresome, by the way, so…

I was quite relieved when last night you didn’t say anything about it, and I assume that that means you came up empty handed. You did, right? Empty handed?

Right. But before I could leave, Dimitri caught me in his room. Oh my god! Yeah, yeah, it was pretty tense at first. Then we went at it real hard, lots of back and forth, like two animals in the wild. Oh my, you mean it got physical? Yeah, I mean, it wasn’t knock down, drag out, but it was real rough. No broken bones or anything, no.

But, uh, have you two made up? I mean, is he, is he okay? Are you okay? I think so. I mean, my lower back is… Uh, never mind. Gwenny, listen, all of this is to say… that Dmitri convinced me how much marrying you means to him.

I know I have my reservations because I am so protective of you.

I have decided to give this marriage my full blessing.

I told Kristen, I said, you know, stop, stop with the games. And then I said… Out of, out of anger, out of panic, out of frustration that maybe I should kill her. Okay. Listen, my brother knows that he did a stupid thing. But it was born out of fear and desperation. You know, he believed that Kristen was gonna run off with his daughter and that he’d never see her again.

Okay, well that doesn’t give him the right to threaten murder. With a gun. Might I add a gun that he stole from his father? Listen, Brady knows what he did was wrong. That’s why he’s here coming clean. He’s not a violent criminal. He’s just a dad who loves his kid very deeply, okay? Detective, listen, I’m mortified by my behavior, okay?

I really, really am. And it was driven by the fact that I thought I was going to lose my daughter. But out of panic, and out of anger, and out of frustration, I profoundly regret it. So what do you say? We let this one go. Absolutely not.

I’ve heard this, I have heard all of this before, Lee, sorry, you probably don’t remember, but when you were signing those divorce papers, you made it seem like you were taking the high road, like you were bowing out gracefully. I even thought that we could end up friends. But then you had to go and plot the murder of my fiancé!

Look, I’m not saying I had any part in what happened to Stefan, but I will admit that I wasn’t quite as ready to let you go as I thought. Of course, I wanted to do the right thing. I wanted you to be happy. But in hindsight, I was a wreck. I was a heartbroken, miserable wreck. And it overwhelmed me. I couldn’t recognize myself anymore.

That, that justifies this? Oh god, if I was, if I just became homicidal every time that I was heartbroken Please, just let me finish. I, I, I’m in a much better place now. Heartbroken, sure. But the misery’s starting to let up a little. And who knows, if you let me live, I’m supposed to go on a date this evening.

And if I meet the right person, and we’re a good match, then maybe I’ll be able to move on from you. Not maybe, not maybe. I will. I must. I finally believe it’s possible. I’ve finally come to grips with reality. Fine. Fine! Go. On your date, Liv. But let me tell you something. I still do not trust you. And if you ever come after me or my husband again, I will pump you so full of lead, they will not be able to identify your corpse.

Oh, good luck tonight.

Sorry, Mr. Black, you threatened to kill someone while brandishing a loaded firearm. He was trying to It doesn’t matter what he was trying to do. It was a felony offense. The threat was made in the heat of the moment. Kristen had kidnapped his daughter. Not according to his daughter. She is a child who is trying to protect her mother.

Listen, this is all just a messy family dispute that got blown way out of proportion, and it can all be resolved without the police. Yeah, see, this is where I disagree with you. Uh, look, detective, I have dinner plans, so let’s just wrap this up. Uh huh. So, take Mr. Black down for booking. What? You can’t do that.

I just did, and when you’re done with Mr. Black, get a statement from Kristen DeMera. I’m sure she’ll have plenty to say. Oh.

Well, this is an interesting little… Plot twist? So you two are actually in agreement for once? In the face of a common enemy, EJ and I spoke and we decided to call a truce. If by common enemy you’re referring to my mother, well then I completely understand. But as I was just telling Aunt Kristen here, I had no prior knowledge of her schemes.

Why should we believe that? Because I’m telling the truth. I would never condone violence towards my own family. Sorry, Dimitri, but your impassioned protestations notwithstanding, we don’t trust you. Simple as that. Since for all we know, you and your mother could still be in cahoots. So I’d suggest you get out your suitcase and start packing.

All right, brothers. Brothers, let’s just all take a mindful pause. I think that we are, uh, being a tad unfair to Dimitri here. I’m assuming he’s guilty by association, not to mention Dimitri has shares at DiMera, as do I. And you know that, Peter. Will always vote with me. So do you really want to alienate a big chunk of your voting block?

Well, sister, I believe that’s a moot point since now Stephan and I are working together. Oh, you sure about that? I can be very persuasive, especially when I want something very badly. I could just, um… Talk to Lee Shin and Steven and… Kristen, what are you saying? I’ll be indirect. What I’m trying to say is now that you two have called a truce, I think it’s in all our best interest that we stick together as a family.

I know this is going to sound a little crazy, but, uh, I think we should give it the old college try.

Well, that’s quite the 180. I have your blessing.

Of course you do. You’re my best friend. My day one, always. If you’re happy, I’m happy. I’m really quite chuffed, Matty. I am. I have to say, I’m a bit surprised. I mean, when you have it in for someone, it’s very hard to change your mind. I mean, let’s be honest, you are a petty little twat sometimes, aren’t you?

Well, I’m not going to argue with that. The thing is, I… I saw another side of Dimitri. He’s not the James Bond villain I thought he was. Wow. He must have really worked his magic to make you flip like this. You could say that.

Hold the phone. Hang on. When Dimitri caught you in his bedroom, that was yesterday. So, why were you hanging out with him today?

Yeah, I am glad you asked why I was with Dimitri today. Because I was just about to tell you my beautiful friend slash bride to be. Once, I was on board with the wedding. Your groom shared with me a capital S secret. What kind of secret? Well, it’s really more of a surprise. For you. For the wedding. That’s why you haven’t heard from Dimitri.

We’ve been planning it today. Oh! Oh,

right, okay. Well, I suppose that explains the radio silence, then. Hence why I didn’t tell you last night that I ran into Dimitri. I was trying to keep his secret… secret. So, please, don’t let him know that you know that we’re planning something. Yeah, I know. Lips are sealed. Pinky promise? Oh, Matty, I am so, so grateful that you’ve come around.

You don’t even know. I mean, it means the world to me that my best friend and my husband to be are actually getting along. You have no idea how happy you’ve made me.

Why are you suddenly so protective of Dimitri? What gifts? Money, Jay. Can’t you figure it out? It’s what father would have wanted. Solidarity. Family meant everything to him, as we all know. Now, I understand that you don’t trust Dimitri. But, I am willing to vouch for him. Fine. But if one of us ends up dead because of him, that’s on you.

I can live with that. Stefan, we agreed. I know. We don’t have a choice. Demetri, you can stay. For now. Dammit, Stefan, you don’t get to decide. Barstin and I decided, and you’re outnumbered, brother. This is insane. You will regret this, both of you. Thank you, Uncle Stefan. And, uh, you too, Aunt Kristen. Thank you for sticking up for me.

Oh, it’s my pleasure. And I’m sure you’ll find a way to pay me back.

Oh, you didn’t even bring me over out there. What’s going on? Uh, why don’t we go upstairs? I’ll explain everything. So, where have you been? Uh, I’ll explain that later when we’re alone. Yeah, I just sat down. How will I know what she looks like? Okay, I’ll be on the lookout for a woman with long, dark hair, wearing a blue dress.

Yeah, thanks again.

You’ve gotta be kidding me.

Detective Hunter, what can I do for you? I’m here to ask you about an incident that occurred between you and Mr. Black. All right, listen. I did not, nor would I ever, kidnap my own daughter. Yes, Rachel said the same thing. Well, then why are you here? Because she also said that Mr. Black threatened you with a gun.

Well, I wish to hell you would have kept your mouth shut. You know, the whole, you have the right to remain silent thing. No, I’m sorry, Belle. I’m grateful that you got me out on bail so quickly. Yeah, well, this is going to be a tough one, Brady. You really made my whole case a whole lot harder. Sis, I’m not really gonna go to prison, am I?

You heard Trask. She’s on a warpath. So if Kristen decides to press charges, yeah, there’s a very good chance you could go to prison.

Days of Our Lives Transcript

 

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Jerry Prentiss, are you in there? My name’s Steve Johnson, I need to talk to you about Abe Carver.

Hey! Sorry Jerry,

I didn’t want to do this. Dr. Johnson’s husband’s getting very suspicious and it was you or me, so I had to throw you under the bus. Hopefully you’re long gone by now. This time, I was up against a wall, and I had to choose myself. Nurse King! Oh,

sorry. I hope I’m not interrupting anything. Um, it’s all right. I know why you’re here. Lonnie’s furlough is over. Yeah, I’m gonna take her back to prison. Not commissioner anymore, but, uh, I did volunteer to oversee the transfer. It’s gotta be easier for her to deal with someone she knows. And likes. Thank you.

Yeah. So, uh, you wanna call her? The thing is, um, you’re here. And she’s not.

Jerry guy telling me the truth? Could dad really be alive?

Dad!

Dad, are you in there?

Daddy.

Like sand through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.

She’s not here? That’s what I said. Yeah, Paulina, that’s not good. There’s not much time for me to get her back before her furlough expires. I know, I know, but she just wants to sit in the park alone. Pull herself together after the funeral. Okay. Well, there is actually a little bit of time, but she can’t be late.

She’s gonna screw up her chances of getting an early release. She won’t screw this up. She, she wants to get back to Eli and her babies as soon as possible, but… Maybe you should call her. I can’t call her. She’s a prisoner. She’s not allowed to have a phone. Oh, I forgot. She has, she has been gone a while now.

I’m gonna go to the park. I’m going. Oh, well, I’ll come with you. I just pray, I just pray to God that she hasn’t lost track of time. No more. No more. It’s true. Oh, my He wasn’t lying. Who are you? Dad, I’m Lonnie. I’m

your daughter. I’m sorry. I don’t know

you. That’s right, you have amnesia. Dad, everything’s gonna be okay now, okay? I’m gonna take you home, to your family, to everyone who loves you. Daddy, come home.

Dr. Johnson, you startled me. Oh, I’m sorry, I just couldn’t help but overhearing that you… You feel like you’re against the wall? I mean, is there something I can do to help? No. No, no, no. Everything’s fine. Well, I don’t mean to pry, but it didn’t sound like everything’s fine. I mean, you said something about choosing yourself first over who?

No, not, not who. It’s more of a what. It’s just that as much as I love this hospital and this town, it’s time for me to put myself first and Say goodbye for good.

Just get it before a judge, okay? ASAP. Hey. Hey. I was just getting a new search warrant for the DiMera place. Oh. Well, that may not be necessary because Brady may be getting Rachel back as we speak. Oh, good. So Kristen admitted to hiding Rachel? Well, let’s just say she hinted at the fact that Rachel would magically reappear if Brady signed a new custody agreement.

So, I wrote one, and Brady should be signing it right about now. Rachel! What is the matter with you, Brady?! I thought we had an understanding. I thought we were gonna work this out. An understanding? No, no. What you did was blackmail, okay? You don’t get to kidnap my kid. Ow! Ow, okay. And then use her to dictate custody issues.

That’s not how it works. You I had a feeling that she was gonna re appear once you know what? Now, who’s to say? Huh? I am!

You came armed, Brady? For this? Since when do you own a gun? It’s my father’s and it’s loaded and that’s all you need to know. So, so if Rachel doesn’t appear, you’re gonna shoot me in cold blood? I’m thinking about it! Now where is she? I am telling you I don’t! No! But if you feel like you need to wave that gut around a little longer, if you’re feeling manly, but then we need to get down to business.

Now did you bring another copy of the agreement? You don’t, you don’t, you don’t get it. There’s no more agreement. There’s not an agreement and you’re not calling the shots. Do you understand? You’re not! I am.

Jerry Prentiss, can you hear me in there? I got here as soon as I can. How’s Jerry Prentiss? Nurse King saw him outside Abe’s room. Yeah, the day Abe disappeared. And he also happens to be the guy who saw Abe go off the docks. Hell yeah, we want to talk to this guy. No, I don’t know man. He’s either stonewalling me or napping in there.

Ah, not with the racket you’re making. I could hear you all the way out in the street. Well, if we don’t have an invitation, I guess our options are limited. That’s a fact. So let’s go to work. One for the money. After you. Two for the show.

This is where I left her. Okay, so where did she go? Huh? Maybe she said goodbye to someone before she left? No, no, I don’t think so. She saw everyone she knows at the funeral. Okay, but this is a straight shot back to your place, so if she was going back there, we’d have crossed paths with her. Oh, Rafe, this just doesn’t make sense.

I mean, yes, yes, she was grieving over Abe, but, uh, you know, maybe she needs some time alone to collect herself, but she knew she had to get back. Now, why would she forget about that and just disappear?

Ted, you have to take my word for it. This isn’t your home.

You know, I know

this. Paulina, she, she brought me home when I got out of the hospital. I, I, uh, she told me this. This is my home.

Whitley told you this

was your home? Paulina told me. Paulina, if you, if you were my daughter, you’d know this. Right there. Right there is our wedding picture. It’s right there.

It’s your card.

Okay, dad. You have to understand me, okay? That woman in that picture is not your wife. She is not Paulina.

You’re quitting the hospital? Yes. Today. I hope I’m not leaving you in the lurch. No, uh, no. It just seems kind of sudden. I’ve been thinking about it for a while, actually. I just made the decision. I’m moving back to Scottsdale. Actually, I told your husband about it a little while ago. Oh, you saw Steve? Yes, he introduced himself and wanted to talk.

Uh, well, about Mayor Carver, I assume. He’s investigating what happened to Abe. Yeah, well, I told him everything I knew, although it wasn’t much. I feel terrible that I can’t be of more help. Well, we all are concerned about Abe. But I still don’t understand why you’re leaving. Well, it’s not that complicated, you know, although I love this hospital and this town.

It just… Feels as if things are different. They’re, they’ve changed. How so? Oh, I don’t know really. It’s just, things feel different since Mayor Carver died. So, um… You’re quitting your job without notice and leaving town for good all because of Abe?

Yeah,

looks like someone knew you

were coming.

Not leaving because of Mayor Carver. Not exactly. It’s just that he’s like a metaphor. For what? Well, him dying sort of sums up how the whole town is ailing too. It seems that way to me, anyway. So, like I told your husband, it’s time for me to put my needs first. And so, I’m gonna go, and I’d like to use my vacation time for my two week notice.

Well, I, uh, doesn’t look like I’m gonna be able to change your mind. Uh, well, why don’t we go back to my office, and we can talk about your exit package? Oh, no, no, no, that’s not necessary. Plus, I’ve got to get home to my cats and I’ve got to start packing. Well, this is pretty important stuff. I mean, you don’t want to put it off.

It’s probably on the website, so I’ll just, you know, work that way. Sorry. I gotta go. Okay, well, it’s gonna take me a minute. I gotta get on the phone to accounting. They’ve gotta, they’ve gotta cut you a check. You know what? You could just mail my check to Scottsdale. I’ll give you my address when I land. It has been wonderful working with you.

You are a great lady. You’re really great.

Okay, I gotta go. It doesn’t make sense that… She finally knew she could be late reporting back to that prison. She knows she has to keep a spotless record. She’s been counting the days till she gets out of that place. All right, all right, hold on. Let’s just take this one step at a time. You said she wasn’t going to go anywhere to say goodbye to anyone, right?

Okay. So let’s just think. What would she be thinking about if she knew that she was going back to prison this afternoon? What would she be trying to do? She’d make it back to my place in time. Now that’s what I’ve been trying to tell you. No way she’d screw this up. Oh my god. Oh my god! Oh my god! Pauline and Pauline.

Hey, please. Just try and calm down, okay? I promise you, I am going to find her. And you mean the way you found Abe?

Okay, so let me get this straight. Kristen said that if Brady signed a custody agreement that Rachel would just magically reappear? Well, that’s what she implied. But Kristen is too smart to actually admit that she had Rachel. Well, it’s still blackmail and kidnapping. Yeah, and Brady knows that. But he also knows how dangerous and volatile Kristen can be.

He would do anything to get Rachel away from her, and he’ll deal with Kristen later. But this is exactly what Kristen wants. He is playing right into her hand, and you are helping him do it. Okay. I get that you’re frustrated. And I get that you’re frustrated about more than just this case. Listen, I hate what happened to Rafe.

And just so you know, Sean is miserable. He hates that the acting mayor overheard him talking about your relationship. Oh, that’s good to know. But the fact of the matter is that Sean is only suspended. He can come back to the force, but thanks to him, Rafe’s career is over. We don’t know that. Well, what I do know is that if Rafe was here, he would be just as pissed at Brady for pulling this end run as I am.

I

see that you’re here for business. I give. I give. You won. You won. Now, Rachel, she’s… She’s down there in the secret passage.

She’s… Go! No! Brady! Brady! So! So! I’m sick of your damn games, Kristen. You’ve been using our daughter like a chess piece. You did the same thing, Brady! I did it to protect her from you! Because you are crazy! You are nuts! You’re incapable of loving her at this point! Damn you, Brady! No, you do not know how to love!

All you want to do is win! You don’t want to lose. That’s why you’re here because you’re lost in court and you hate losing just like your sociopathic father. Our girl is our daughter. She is not some prize. She’s mine too. She is not a possession, Kristen. And I can’t have you in her life. I don’t want you in her life.

I don’t want her to have this. I might as well just kill you right now. Daddy. Okay.

Dad, do you understand what I’m saying to you? Huh? The woman in that picture is not your wife. Dad, she is not Paulina. If I had a phone, I could show you, okay? Dad, I know you would remember her. You love her so much. Paulina

never said I had a daughter.

She said I had a son. Theo. Dad, she’s He was here. No, Dad. She’s lying to you. She’s tricking you. Uh, why? I talked to Theo earlier. And he is so worried about you. I saw him on TV. Dad, look. We can talk about all of that when I get you home. Okay? But I need to get you out of here, Dad. Paulina says I can’t leave the house.

Dad. Dad. That woman is not Paulina. She is a nurse at the hospital who somehow got you out of there with no one seeing you. And she has been keeping you here. Paulina works at the hospital. No, dad. Whitley works at the hospital. And she knows everyone is looking for you. Your family, the police. She faked your death, dad.

She made it look like you drowned. Dad, I was at your funeral this morning. Okay, she made it to where everyone would stop looking for you. She faked your death, Dad. You watch Body and Soul? This could be one of their stories. Please, Dad. Please. You have to come with me, okay? I will help you to your chair.

Okay, you have to come with me, and we can go. No! I can’t let you do that.

Baby? Sweetheart, come here. Come here. What are you doing? Stay out of it. Baby, baby. Oh my God, you’re okay? You’re okay? Hey, look at me. Everything’s okay. No, it’s not okay. You said you were gonna kill Mommy. No. No, no, no. Honey, no, I would never do that. I, I need, I needed her to tell me where you were. I heard you.

No, I, you, honey, you disappeared from camp. I didn’t know where you were. Nobody knew where you were. And I, I, I would do anything to make sure that you were safe, okay? But I would never kill anybody. No. Rachel, baby, come here. Rachel, come here. You stay out of it! Don’t talk to her like that! Just don’t!

I’m sorry. I’m sorry. There’s no need to take this out on you. I understand that Sean feels terrible about this, but he shouldn’t. It’s not his fault. It’s ours. Rafe and I brought this on ourselves. We kept working together even though we knew. We knew how we felt. I think the blame goes to whoever created these draconian regulations.

I feel so awful. I mean, here I am, I’m still at work. While Ray P, he’s out on the streets. Listen, if there’s anything I can do legally, you know I will. I don’t think there is. We knew the regulations, and we knew what would happen. God, it’s just so stupid. I mean, we, we need Rafe. We have a missing child, and we don’t even know what the hell really happened to Abe.

Well, no clothes, no suitcases. No Clifton on the counter over there. Son of a bitch took off in a hurry. Why? Did he know I was coming? I mean, Nurse Ting was the only one who knew I wanted to talk to him, and it wouldn’t have made any sense for her to warn him. Well, nothing about this case has made any sense, has it?

Well, maybe he started feeling the heat and decided, uh, to get out of here before people started putting two and two together. Yeah, if he was behind what happened to Abe. And that’s still a big if, which is why I wanted to talk to him. By the looks of this place, it looks like he booked out of Salem. Yeah.

So, how’d he haul out of here, plane, train, car? Bus? Clean up. Hey, we can’t cover the airport, the train, and bus stations between the two of us. No, we’re gonna need some help with that. Let’s see if I can get some. Hey, Jada.

Steve, what’s up? I’m calling about that witness who saw Abe fall off the docks. Jerry Prentiss, the actor? That’s right. John and I decided to have a little talk with him. Turns out, he was in the hospital near Abe’s room the day Abe went missing. Now he’s gone too. We’re in his apartment. Looks like he grabbed his stuff and ran.

You want me to put people at the airport, train, and bus stations? Yes, please. I’m on it. If he’s still in Salem, we’ll find him. Thanks, appreciate it. She’s on it. Alright, thing is, we don’t know when the guy split. I just hope it’s already not too late. Don’t you look at me like that! We both know none of this would have ever happened if you weren’t spending your time sneaking around with detective hunter This isn’t about me and Jada.

All right, and we need to stay focused and try and find Lonnie This is about you and Jada. You were fired for sleeping with a subordinate And if you two had focused on your jobs Instead of each other, maybe he would have found Abe before he fell off that dock.

Then there wouldn’t have been here. Maybe she wouldn’t have been so sad and felt the need to be alone. Maybe she would have got back later. Now she can’t be

It’s

too much! Shh. Shh. Elena. No, Dad, that is not Paulina. Paulina, you won’t believe what this woman’s been telling me. And who is this woman? This woman is your worst nightmare. I’m Lonnie Grant, Abraham’s daughter and wife of FBI agent Eli Grant, who is going to be very interested to hear all about what my father is doing here.

He’s, he’s very ill. He’s being nursed back to health. And it is imperative that he not have any stress whatsoever. So I’m gonna have to ask you to Shut up! Just shut up. Do you have any idea the hell that you’ve put all of us through? His family, his wife? We were at his funeral this morning. I’m gonna have to ask you to leave.

This is just ridiculous. Get out of my house right now. No, no, I don’t think so, Nurse King. Jerry told me everything. Jerry Prentiss? The guy that you hired to play my brother? But your act is over. I am taking my father home, and you are going to prison.

Prison? Who’s going to prison? It’s alright, Dad. We’re gonna get out of here now, and you’ll start feeling better soon. Okay? Don’t do this to us. Abe and I have a future together. We love each other. Please don’t do this to us. Stay here, Daddy. I’ll get your chair. No, I didn’t mean any harm. I was just trying to help him.

Can’t you see? Please, please, just have some mercy. Mercy? For you? I suppose I should feel bad that you’re sick and depraved. A. K. A. you’re crazy. But all I feel for you is contempt. And I am going to make you pay. I’m not crazy. I’m not crazy. I’m getting this chair. I can’t let you do that.

So, if this actor is the guy we’re looking for, what’s his motive? Was he maybe looking for a ransom? Well, if so, he’s taking his own sweet time getting around to it, isn’t he? Well, maybe something went wrong and he had to put things on hold. Mm hmm. Like what? Somehow Abe got away. Jerry said he saw Abe fall into the water.

Well, that’s better than him saying he pushed him in. Partner, if this is a kidnapping, why would you kill the hostage without even asking for a penny? Oh, b b better yet, better yet, if he saw Abe fall into the water, why did he even open his damn mouth? You and I both know how many rants have been paid out for people who are already dead.

And, and, and why in God’s name would he hang around until the police showed up? The only reason we know his name is because he talked to Eli and Rafe. So think about it. If Prentiss is the guy who kidnapped Abe, then everything he did after that makes absolutely no sense. Yeah. Maybe the guy’s just dumb as dirt.

Hey. Machine’s talking. Got an error message. Maybe he was trying to print something before he left. Ticket. Boarding pass.

Document jam.

Here we go.

Okay, Ty. I just got myself worked up to the point where there just, there was just no turning it off. Well, you have been pushed to the limit. Why don’t you just sit here for a little while and try to relax, all right? I’ll come back and recheck your numbers. But I really do think you’re gonna be fine.

She’s wrong. I’m not gonna be fine. Not after the things that I said to you. I was, I was cruel. The last thing I think is that you and Detective Hunter weren’t doing everything you can, and I’m, I’m just so sorry, and I’m mad at myself. Like Kayla said, you were pushed to the limit. We’re good. Yeah, but Lonnie, Lonnie isn’t.

She’s got to get back to the prison in time, and we still don’t know where she is.

Is that her? No. It’s the prison in Maryland.

Do you really think you should talk like this in front of our daughter? This is not helping the situation, Brady. This is a situation that you created. You created it, okay? So it’s over. It’s over. Quiet. Come on, we’re going. Honey, we’re going. But what about Mommy? Mommy? Mommy needs some time to think about what she has done.

Okay, but we, um, I want you to wait by the front door, okay? Rachel. Please wait by the front door, okay?

Fine! You… You’ve gone too far. All this to terrorize me. No, I’m not trying to terrorize you! Shut it! The only thing… The only thing that you had left… Was the fact that I have not told our little girl what kind of woman you really are. But that’s over now. She’s gonna know everything now. Don’t yell at her like that.

I don’t want to go to stay here with mommy. Honey, honey, it’s not gonna happen. We are leaving. We are leaving. We’re leaving. We’re leaving.

Well, said you wanted to see me. What is this about? Uh, well. Brady, he, uh, tore up this custody agreement, and it’s still legal, isn’t it? He tore this up? What happened? Where’s Rachel? Okay, everything just fell apart. Um, but Brady, um, he’ll listen to you, Belle. He’ll listen to you, and he needs to sign this. He does.

He needs to sign this, because you know you’re a mother, and you know…

You know how important it is that Rachel is not cut out of my life. Again. Where is Rachel? She’s with Brady. So where has Rachel been all this time?

You’re not gonna tell me, but I can make a pretty good guess. So let me just say this, Kristen. When you go too far, there are consequences.

Yes, baby. Baby, listen. You have to understand, I didn’t know where you were. Nobody did. I didn’t know if you were safe. I was fine. But I Honey I didn’t know that!

Listen, I want you to go to your room because I don’t know who that is, and then we will talk, okay? I don’t want to talk! Rachel! Go to your room and we will talk. Fine!

Just a minute!

Detective, hi. I was gonna call you. Uh, Rachel’s back. I know. Yeah, and I was right all the time. Kristen had her this whole time. So, you’re welcome to go to the DiMera Mansion and arrest her for kidnapping, please. I’m sorry, Brady. I’m here to arrest you. What are you talking about? What? Did you pull a gun on Kristen and threatened to kill her?

Is that, okay, is that what she told you? She kidnaps our daughter and, and she calls the cops on me? Mommy I did! Yeah,

lookie here. We got today’s bus schedule. About a dozen destinations. And each of those connect to a dozen more. A hell of a lot of places Prentiss could be headed to. Yeah, we gotta get to that terminal before he boards. Was that

smart? Letting it go to voicemail? They were calling to ask where Lonnie is. I just said she’s missing. They would alert federal marshals, she’d officially be a fugitive, and it would only get worse from there. So, what do we do? I have an idea.

Hi, this is Ray Fernandez. I am returning your call about prisoner Lonnie Grant. Yes. Well, I’m with her right now, and I will have her back at the prison before lockdown. Okay.

Well, that bought us some time. Let’s hope it’s enough.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

So, what makes you want to resign from the hospital, Nurse King? Oh, it’s not the job. No complaints there. And your wife, oh, she’s wonderful. Honestly, the best boss I’ve ever had is Dr. Johnson. I’m sure she’d be glad to hear that. But if you’re so happy here, why do you want to quit? Unless you’re going somewhere.

Uh, uh, Mrs. Grant, uh, what are you doing here? I thought your father’s funeral was today. Yes, uh, it was. You were there, weren’t you? My brother said he saw you standing at the back of the church. Uh, yeah. I just, uh, wanted to pay my respects. That was very thoughtful of you. Especially since it’s so strange that we even had a funeral.

What do you mean? We don’t have my father’s body, so we can’t properly lay him to rest. There’s still all these unanswered questions. Right. Of course. Which is actually what I wanted to talk to you about. Do you mind if I come in?

Uh, what do you not understand about goodbye? You are dead. Go. What

now?

Well, look what the cat dragged in. Hey.

Hey, Dave. Pretty, uh, pretty rude in service, huh? Those people that loved and respected Abe, it’s quite a turnout. Yeah, standing room only. It’s pretty great that you came, considering everything that’s going on with Rachel. You must be going out of your mind. I want my little girl back, obviously, but it’s not like she’s actually missing.

What do you mean? I thought she ran away from summer camp. She did. But Tink, I know exactly where she is.

Okay, so what you’re saying is that you will tell us where my granddaughter is only if you get something in return. Well, I didn’t say I know where she is. This is all hypothetical at this point. But yes, if I did know, I wouldn’t tell you without being rewarded. Alright. What is it that you want? My very own pony.

What the hell do you think I want, Marlena? I want custody of my daughter.

Like sand through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives. I

know

you. Well, of course you know me. I’m Lorna DeLorean. Everyone knows me. But I know you too, Henry Marshall. Henry. Henry Marshall. As if anyone could ever forget the most powerful ice cream magnet in the world. But, um, why are you dressed the way you are? I mean, really, you look worse than Charlemagne after Cassandra pushed her into the country club Cinderella.

Hmm. I was in the hospital, I, I was attacked. By whom? I, I’m not sure. You’re not sure who put you in the hospital? I, I don’t remember.

Well, that’s not important. Don’t you worry Henry, we’re gonna get you back to your old self. Lorna is gonna take care of everything. She always does.

Going somewhere? What? Oh, uh, I just, uh, decided to go back to L. A. You know, give this… I can think of another try. I’m actually kind of in a hurry. Oh, I won’t hold you up. It’s just, with all these unanswered questions I have about my father, my mind is kind of working overtime. And I’ve been thinking about when I met you down at the docks.

What about it? Well, Theo said that you wanted to tell him something, but you never got around to it. Uh, yeah, I just wanted to tell him again how sorry I was. About your father. Yeah. That’s what you said. The thing is, right after that you, you took off pretty fast. I mean, are you sure we didn’t do something to make you nervous?

Well, as a matter of fact, I am going somewhere. Oh, really? So you’re not happy in Salem?

When are you leaving Salem? I’m quitting my job. And I’m taking Abe somewhere far, far away from here where we can have a fresh start. Well, it has nothing to do with Salem. Just after all these years, I’m ready for a fresh start. Right. I get that. If you don’t mind me asking, um, where are you headed? Oh, uh, I’m going to Arizona.

Scottsdale. I’m originally from there and I still have some family there. I bet. Considering you’re one of five kids. How do you know that? From your background check. What background check? The one the FBI ran on you after Abe disappeared.

Well, I would ask Sean if there had been any progress on getting another warrant to search the DiMera house again, but, um, he wouldn’t know. Why not? Because he’s been suspended from the force. What? For drinking on the job. He’s still struggling with what happened at the home? Yeah. For weeks he’s been numbing the pain with alcohol.

I know you understand. Yes, I do. I’d be happy to talk to him. Thank you. But I think that finding Rachel is the priority now. So you think Kristen has her at the DiMera house? No, I, I know that she does. I was gonna go over there and just tear the place apart, but Marlena convinced me to let her handle it.

Wait, so Mom went to the mansion? She did. She did. And with any luck? Marlena’s gonna be able to convince that psycho to give me my kid back. Well, if you want to revisit custody, there are several ways to do that. You could, well, you could hire a lawyer. Oh, gee, Marlena, I hadn’t thought of that. Sarcasm. So have you hired one?

Well, I couldn’t find someone who would take my case. Hmm. So kidnapping was the next logical step. Hey, you know what? Your hypocrite stepson thought it was a pretty logical step when he kidnapped my daughter last New Year’s Eve. You are withholding the orchid that would have saved three lives, including mine.

So, what Brady did, he did for a very good reason. Well, I have a good reason too, dammit. Hypothetically speaking, of course.

Why would the FBI do a background check on me? I had nothing to do with what happened with Mayor Carver. Don’t worry, Ms. King. It’s completely routine. You see, in kidnapping cases, they need to check out everyone who had recent contact with the victim. And you saw Abe the day he disappeared. The day you left work early.

I was sick. I thought I was coming down with the flu. I’ve already been through all of this with agent Grant. I know You see, the thing is we’re not exactly clear on what happened yet, and this is Mayor Carver we’re talking about. We’re not just gonna let this go. Not me, not the cops, definitely not the fbi.

You know, Abe was Eli’s father-in-law. Mm-hmm. , that man is gonna keep digging until he nails down the entire timeline, accounting for every minute between when Abe went missing. And when he ended up in that river, I mean, where was he all this time? Who was he with? The agency needs to get every detail of the victim’s movements.

Especially from the last person to see him. It wasn’t me. It was Jerry. Uh, why

would he, uh, when you make me nervous? You kind of seem really nervous right now, Jerry. I’m just, uh… Anxious to get packed. Okay. Well, I will get out of your hair as soon as I get some answers. Okay? So, can we go back to the day on the docks real quick? It seemed like something was really weighing on you.

And of course, we appreciate your condolences. But are you sure, Jerry, that there wasn’t anything else you wanted to tell Theo? Like what?

Okay, Jerry. So many people love my father and miss him terribly. And also because it was a tragic death under mysterious circumstances. It’s especially painful for me because I used to be a cop.

Right. And I want to help with this investigation so badly so I can find whoever took my dad and give everyone who loved him answers. Including myself. But, because I’m not on the force anymore, I can’t work with the police, Jerry. But I still need those answers, desperately. So, please. Jerry, if you know anything, and I mean anything about what happened to my dad, please.

I would appreciate it if you would tell me. Because it would give me the closure that I need to finally say goodbye to my dad. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. I lied. What did you lie about? Everything. All of it. My entire story was a lie.

Henry! It’s not polite to keep a lady waiting. Henry!

Oh! Oh, well, that is much better. You look perfect. Just perfect for what I have planned. So, are you ready? For what? To run for mayor of Pineview? This town has needed new leadership since the last guy got possessed by the devil. And you’re just perfect. But there’s still a lot of work to do. So you’re going to need me.

To do what? To be your Director of Communications. Well this is all sounding a little familiar. Well, that’s because I did do it once before but it didn’t work out so well. But this time, we are going to be a great success. You and I, Henry, are going to get you elected and nothing or no one is going to stop us.

Oh.

You’re sad.

Look, I know that your mom and Kristen have not always had the best history, but they’ve also been known to put their differences aside at times. I’m hoping Marlena will go in there with her expertise and help Kristen, you know, listen to reason. Brady, I hate to be the negative one here, but has Kristen ever listened to Rachel?

No. But she loves her daughter. And I think she feels guilty, Tank. She feels guilty that she’s keeping her away from me and from her grandparents. And if Marlena can go in there and make her understand that this is bad for Rachel, this is going to cause her damage, and appeal to her, mother to mother, I think that, with some luck, Yeah, she’ll be able to make her see the light, make her do the right thing.

You know, you can still do the right thing. You can repay the favor that I did for you yesterday, and you can tell me where Rachel is. Well, I can’t tell you what I don’t know.

You do know that whatever tactics you employ, Brady is never going to give you full custody. Of course I know. I’m not an idiot, Marlena. Well, then what do you want? I want Brady to share. No matter how you feel about me, you know I love Rachel every bit as much as Brady does. And you know that Rachel loves me.

And it is important for our child to have both parents in her life. So, now you know, hypothetically, How to resolve this situation. So I suggest you have a little chat with Belle.

I will talk to my daughter. And when you talk to my granddaughter, please tell her that I love her.

And your whole story was a lie. I never saw your father fall into the river. What, so did you see someone push him? No. I never saw Mayor Korver at the docks. Then how do you know he was there, Jerry? He wasn’t, but I was. What? You’re, you’re not making any sense. Of course my father was there. They found his hospital bracelet there.

They found his blood. Because I planted them. What? How? How, how did you get his bracelet and how did you get his blood? What did you do to him? Nothing! Nothing! Uh, uh, I swear, I swear. I didn’t do anything to your father. It was all Nurse King. Okay? Everything that happened, it was all a part of her plan.

You’re talking about Jerry Prentiss? The guy who witnessed Abe going into the water? Yes. He was the last one to see Mayor Carver. Oh, no, no, no. Hold on. I should have been more clear. I didn’t mean the last person to see Abe alive. I meant the last person to see him before he went missing. And that was you.

No, no. It was Jerry. Hang on. So you’re telling me, the day that Abe disappeared from this hospital… Jerry Prentiss was here.

Aren’t you a doctor? Shut up, Lorna. Oh, sorry. It’s just kind of hilarious. Anyone having the idea that looking at you, you’d be a physician. Well, how about everybody thinks that you are a raging bitch? At least I don’t dress like a whore. Well, you dress like a tacky whore. What are you doing here, Cassandra?

I’m giving you a reality check. Excuse me. You know, it’s one thing to rig the woman of the year contest, but fixing the mayor race? Well, that’s a whole different ball of wax. Well, I don’t have a clue to what you’re talking about. Oh, cut the crap, DeLorean. I’m on to you. And you know this big plan of yours?

It’s never gonna work. The hell it isn’t! Because I have the perfect candidate, and there won’t be any rigging or fixing, because Henry and I are gonna win this fair and square. Oh, well, we’ll see about that. Oh, what do you think you’re gonna do about it, Cassie? I’m gonna beat you at your own game. You see, I have my own perfect candidate right here.

Ah!

I appreciate your concern for me, but this, this issue with Sean is, is rough. I’m really sorry about it. And I’m also willing to talk to him for the 19th time. I know. It’s okay. Thank you. I appreciate that. He has agreed to talk to mom, though. Oh! I’m glad I found you two. Hey, Romina. Um, Any luck with Kristen?

She said she doesn’t know where Rachel is. She’s sticking to her story. Yeah, no surprise there. But, she said if she knew anything, she’d be willing to share. Okay. I can tell by the look in your eyes that I should assume that she wants something in exchange. Yeah. She would like to revisit your custody agreement.

Sweetheart, what are you doing downstairs? Attic is scary.

I know. Please sit down. But you know, that’s just a place where things are stored and you have your favorite books and all your lovely dolls. But it’s lonely up there, Mommy. I know what, I promise, this is, this is gonna be over very soon, alright? And you’ll only have to be up there for a little bit longer.

Um, but you know why it’s important, right? Hmm? Why you have to wear this? So the police don’t find me. Yeah, that’s right. And you’re doing such a great job. Remember when the officers, they came and searched the house and, uh, They walked right by you, surrounded by all those stuffed animals. Cause I was really quiet and I didn’t move.

That’s right! You did such a wonderful job! And so, it’s just a little bit longer, alright? So I’m gonna need you to go up to the attic, but this time we can throw a beautiful tea party. I’m gonna get you a little tea set, and some teas, and you can invite your little teddy bears and your dolls. Doesn’t that sound like fun?

I guess. Wow. Okay, um. What’s wrong, honey? It’s just… Is Daddy worried about me? I don’t like making them scared. I know, honey. And it’s very sweet that you’re concerned about your daddy. But you don’t need to be. Because like I said, this is going to all be over very, very soon. Hmm?

So let me get this straight. You’re telling me that Jerry Prentiss was here the day Abe disappeared. Yes, he was right outside of Abe Carver’s room, just lingering. Why didn’t you tell anybody about it? I didn’t think it was important. But when I read in the paper that he was the eyewitness that saw Mayor Carver fall off the docks, after seeing him outside his room, well, it seemed a little suspicious.

And you still didn’t say anything about it? No. Well, I didn’t want to get Mr. Prentiss in trouble. He’s such a nice young man. Or not. Wait. You don’t think that he could have something to do with what happened to A, do you?

Huh. Do I know you? Well, not yet you don’t, but you will. This is… Drumroll, please. The one, the only, the fabulous… Cassandra Clarkington. Cassandra. Cassandra. This is so confusing. Well, don’t you worry your handsome little head, before long everyone in this town will know my name, because I am throwing my hat in the political ring and running for mayor.

You have to be kidding. Oh, I’m as serious as a panic attack, darling. And I’ll be a shoo in with all of you. Oh my, vote for Sandra Cookies! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! And my first act, after I win, will be to bulldoze a town square and build my new discount store. Clocking Town! Ah! Doesn’t that sound fantastic? I think that sounds absolutely dreadful.

Henry, are you okay? I’m getting a strange sense of déjà vu. About what? Her. Cassandra? All men do. Hey, hey, watch it. No, no, no, no, not, not, not Cassandra. Sandra. Oh, well, why would you have déjà vu about me?

This plan. You raise the town square, you… You build a discount store. You’ve done it before, haven’t you? But you kept a secret. That’s not the only… What secret you’ve kept from me, is

it? Nurse King, what does she have to do with this? She’s the one who gave me the hospital bracelet, and his blood, and she told me to put them on the docks. Why would you do that? Uh, okay, listen, um, so my grandma was sick, and she couldn’t afford her medication, so Nurse King forged some documents so that, uh, her insurance could cover it.

Okay, I know it was wrong, okay? But when she asked me for help, I couldn’t say no. And I thought that I was helping, and I thought that she was a good person, but she’s not. Okay, you, you said that she did something to my father. What does that mean? Does she hurt him? No. Okay, then how does she get his blood?

What did she do to him, Jerry? Did she kill him? No. Then how does she get his blood? Tell you talk to me. She didn’t kill him. Then what? Your father is alive

Alright, that’s it. I’m going over to that house right now. I’m gonna put my hands around her scrawny Why Why not? This is just a ploy. It’s another ploy to get me to revisit the custody arrangement. That’s all this is I understand that But the thing is, right now, Kristen holds all the cards. And if you, if you do something rash, she could just pick up Rachel and take off.

Do you really want me to cave in to this diabolical woman one more time? I don’t want to. No, no! Belle, come on, there’s gotta be something we can do here, right? Listen, as much as I would rather be a sister than a lawyer right now, the fact that Rachel went missing works in Kristen’s favor. How? What? How?

Because you have full custody. So you’re responsible for all the decisions about your daughter, including what summer camp she goes to. The one that she ran away from. Oh, co… You’re telling me there’s a court out there that’s gonna think that this is somehow my fault? I’m saying that in the eyes of the law, the fact that she escaped on your watch, it looks bad.

Brady, this isn’t just about what Kristen has done wrong. This is really about what’s right for Rachel. I know, and I’m sure she gave you an earful about that. You know, it’s important for Rachel to have both parents in her life. I’m, I’m, I’m, I’m open to that. I believe in that. Tell her. Yeah, no, during the custody hearing, when Kristen was trying to cut Brady out of Rachel’s life, I tried to reason with her.

I tried to get her to see that a joint custody agreement would be the best thing for everyone. I, I wanted Rachel to have her mother in her life. Until her mother blackmailed me with using free women’s lives, including yours, I can’t believe you’re advocating for Kristen. I am advocating for Rachel. We’ve got to put aside our feelings about Kristen and focus on how that little girl feels about her mother.

Yeah. You know, Brady, If you did, uh, agree to joint custody, I could put contingencies in the agreement, so that if Kristen were to, I don’t know… Do a drug assault, murder someone, then I’d have my kid full time. Brady, I know this isn’t easy. But experience tells me, that the better things go with Kristen right now, the easier things will be down the road.

And you know what, before you know it… You’re gonna get to spend time with both me and your daddy, alright? Ah, come here. I love you, sweetheart, so much. I love you, too, Mommy. Mmm. Alright, now head back on up into the attic, and I’m gonna bring your fabulous tea set, and we’re gonna get all those beautiful teas that Harold

has. All

All

right. There you go, sweetie.

I kept a secret from you? Well, I don’t have a clue what you mean. Well, this isn’t about the store. This is about something else. This is, uh… Well, that’s a much bigger secret. Well, we only just met, Henry. How could I keep anything from you? You know, much less a, uh, earth shattering secret. Well, yes. Yes, it was.

It was. Earth shattering. Well, there was a time that she stole your recipe for a rocky road. Ugh, that was you, you idiot. Well, there was a time that you tainted his sprinkles with some mind altering hallucinogen. Yeah, this is, uh, this is, uh, This is about something else. This is, uh, It’s much more important.

I remember. I remember.

You and I. We have a daughter.

What do you mean, my father is alive? I mean, he never fell off the docks. Nurse King’s had him this whole time. Jerry, if you are messing with me I’m not! I’m not. Okay? She kidnapped him from the hospital, and she’s been pretending to be his wife this whole time. And she paid me to tell Abe that I’m your brother, Theo.

And he believed you? Yes. Yes. At first. And with his head injury, he doesn’t remember anything from his life. Well, that’s not exactly true. What do you mean? Hope, every once in a while, he has these little flashes, like, uh, memory comes back to him. And he tries to put the pieces together, but Nurse King won’t let him.

So about Mr. Prentiss. Do you think it means something that he was here the day that Mayor Carver disappeared and he’s the one who saw him fall into the river? We’re sure as hell gonna find out. Excuse me.

Hey John. Yeah, I’m still at the hospital. I spoke to her. She told me something very interesting. You got an address on this Jerry Prentiss guy?

Mayor Carver, he, he, he, he knows there’s something off, but Nurse King, she sedates him to keep him in line. Why would you be a part of something so sick? I didn’t know, okay? Uh, she said she needed me for an acting gig. And, and she said that it would help him with your father’s recovery. I didn’t know I would have to fake his death.

Where is he, Jerry? Where is my father? As far as I know, he’s still at her apartment, but she said that she’s gonna leave town, and she’s gonna take him with her. I’m sorry. For everything, I’m sorry. I’m so, so sorry! I’m sorry!

Okay, well, my assistant just emailed a PDF of the amended custody agreement to Brady, and you should be getting it right about now. Ah, so as soon as Kristen gets that, we get to have Rachel back. Yeah. Do you really think that giving in to Kristen’s demands was the right thing to do? I think the right thing to do is what is best for Rachel.

Honey, she loves her mother. She wants to spend time with her. And there’s, there’s not a court in the land that will not take into account what a child wants. I just wish that Kristen would have found a way to deal with this without involving kidnapping. Yeah, but now that Brady is willing to compromise maybe everybody can move forward in a, in a civilized way.

Spoke to Marlena. She said that you’d be interested in revisiting our custody arrangement. Word travels fast. She said that if I was willing to amend it, that that might help in the search for Rachel. I do recall mentioning that. Well, I think you’ll, uh, be very pleased with the changes then. Yes, I am.

Quite pleased. Do

you know, I

have a really good feeling about this, Brady. I just know that once I sign this, Rachel’s gonna be found.

You’re dead.

I have a good feeling about this too.

Sorry, Jerry, but I didn’t want to do this. Dr. Johnson’s husband was getting awfully suspicious. It was either you or me, so I had to throw you under the bus. Hopefully you’re long gone

by now. I’m sorry, Miss King. Abe’s daughter deserves to know the truth. I’m not going to be there when she finds him. I’m not going down for

this. A daughter? I only just met you, Henry. We don’t have a daughter. Oh, yes, we do. Oh, is he alright? Mentally speaking? He’s as sharp as a tack. Well, I beg to differ because what he is saying is impossible. Man. This, uh, You hear that sound? I don’t hear a thing. It sounds like someone, Someone knocking. See? I think I hear it now.

Me too. I don’t know what you people are talking about. All I see is a man who is clearly out of his mind.

Oh my god. Daddy.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Yeah, baby. I’ll pick you up in plenty of time to get to the funeral. I love you too, sweetness.

Yeah. Too early? No, no. Fine. Come on in. How you doing, man? Any news on your granddaughter? Not a word. It’s obvious that Kristen has got her. We just don’t know where the hell she took her.

May I help? No. Looks like you got your hands full anyway. It’s okay. These are actually just pictures of Abe on taking over the church for the funeral. But I thought, I thought that sounded helpful. No, you don’t have to. You don’t have to. Honestly, I’m, I’m, I’m just doing this to, Do something to keep me from going crazy.

It’s kind of pointless, don’t you think? Since we both know exactly where Rachel is anyway.

If this is the police again, let me remind you, you will need another warrant if you want to come in. Kristen, Kristen, it’s me. Oh my God. Lonnie? Oh my God. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Mama, do you need any help? Well, baby, can you send Lonnie in, please? Oh, well, she just went out to run an errand. But, why don’t you let me help you?

Oh.

Mama. Oh. Oh. Oh, baby, no, uh uh. Don’t, don’t you start crying, too. No. And I’ll try not to. And you know, I can dole out tissues just as well as Lonnie can. Thank you. Oh. I just did my makeup for the third time. Oh. If I can’t make it through getting ready, how else am I going to get through Abraham’s funeral?

Good morning, sunshine. Here’s your breakfast and a soft boiled egg just the way you like it. Doesn’t Paulina take good care of you, darling? You are not. Paulina. You are not my wife.

Like sand through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives. Is

there anything I can do to help? Mmm, wish there were. Cops have searched that mansion from top to bottom. They got nothing. Alright, so assuming Kristen is hiding Rachel. What do you think her endgame is? Take the kid and run? Eh, it’s doubtful. If she were to blow out of Salem for good, that would mean that she is ready to give up on Brady.

I don’t see that happening. But I’ve got her under surveillance 24 7 just in case. Well, that’s good. Yeah. Can I get you a cup of coffee? You look like you could use it. Oh, thanks, partner. Yeah, black and strong.

Did you get any sleep at all last night? No, not really. I think I nodded off for a minute or so, but every time I did, I had a nightmare. About Rachel? No. About Abe.

Second time, I had the exact same dream. Second time. On the dock, Abe is right there, same place where he fell into the water. And he just looks at me and then he turns around. Disappears. That shook me up too. Yeah, yeah, um.

I’m gonna say something that sounds a little bit out there. I’m starting to wonder

if maybe somehow it was more than a dream.

Mama, you have always been so strong for me. How about you let me be strong for you now? Especially since Big Mama can’t be here. Just looking at you gives me strength, my precious girl. Well, I’m here for you, Mama, always. And, I just want to say that I am so, so very grateful for the man that Abe was to you.

The way he loved and respected you. And I’m also grateful for, for what he meant to me. He was so kind and caring and, well, I had a dad again. After so many years without one. Yes. Yes you did. We both were so, so very lucky, weren’t we? To have that wonderful man in our lives. I

guess maybe I’m not as strong as I thought I was. Oh, baby. We just have to lean on each other. Okay?

Oh, Abraham, that’s just crazy talk. Of course I’m Paulina. Who else would I be? I saw her picture. And it wasn’t you. Abraham, you’re not a well man. Your memory’s very fuzzy. But you know what? This medicine will get you all cleared up.

No. No, no, no. I, uh, I don’t want it. I don’t want it. Ah, no, no, please. Ah!

I know you believe that Kristen is behind Rachel’s disappearance. I don’t believe it. I know it. I know it. I mean, think about it. I mean, if, if she was actually missing, why would Kristen demand a warrant from the police in order to search the house? Hmm? Yeah. Yeah. I understand what you’re saying. And if Kristen really believed that her daughter had run away or had been kidnapped…

She would leave no stone unturned to find her. Exactly. Exactly. She would be out here. She would be searching. Instead, I’m out here running around in circles while she’s sitting on her ass at the DiMera mansion right now. Honey, I can’t believe that you’re free. How did you manage that? Well, I’m not exactly free.

I’m out on furlough. So I can attend my dad’s funeral. Oh, sweetheart, I am so sorry about Abe. He was such a wonderful man. Yeah, he was the best. Anyway, um, I, I can’t stay long. I’m just, I had to see you. Especially when I heard that Rachel was missing. I know. It’s so awful. I mean, Brady made her go to that damn stupid camp.

And, of course, she hated it and she ran away. And, and now she’s disappeared into thin air and I’m just, I’m so worried about her. Uh huh. What? Uh huh. You wouldn’t by chance be lying to me, would you? Sister?

Theo, come in, come in. Hey, Chanel. Hello. Oh, good, good. You’re here. I asked Theo to go with us to the funeral. Oh, oh. I hope it’s okay. Of course it is. Why would you even ask? I’m glad we’re all going together. That’s right. Well, actually we’re not. What? Why not? Because I want you to swing by the Johnsons and pick up those pictures of Abraham.

Oh, but I can just text them to bring the pictures. Please! Just do that for me, okay? Theo and I will meet you at the church. Okay, um, sure.

Okay, love you, okay? Alright, I’ll see you guys there.

Uh, Paulina? I’m not great at reading social cues, but um, did you just send Shenandoah on purpose? You might be better at reading those cues than you think. Because, uh, oh, yes, yes, honey, I did. Theo, there’s something I want to talk to you about.

So, you think this dream was… More like a premonition.

I don’t know, man. I don’t know, maybe I’m just unsettled by Abe’s death, by all these unanswered questions. Especially coming off what we just went through with Doc and Kayla. Yeah, man, I hear you. You remember I had that dream about Kayla? She was still alive, trying to reach me? Yes, exactly. That’s exactly what this feels like.

Like, like somehow Ibrahim is trying to reach out, is asking for help. So do you think he might still be alive? It’s possible, isn’t it? I mean, think about it. Think about it. We don’t know how he disappeared from the hospital. We don’t know where the hell he was the whole time he was gone. We don’t know how he got down to the pier or why he went into the water.

Now obviously, we can’t say anything to Pauline about this until we have something concrete to go on. But none of this stuff is adding up. Okay, I agree. But dude, listen, we’ve been over this evidence a million times. Buddy, we just gotta do what we do best, and that is we go back to the beginning, from the moment that he disappeared from that hospital, we retreat every step here, because partner, we gotta be missing something.

Okay, we do what we always do, we go right back to the beginning, we start with what we know. And that is… There’s King’s statement.

Now, Abe, sugar, you just let that medicine do its work on you, and all of those thoughts will seem like a bad dream. I am your Paulina, darling, and I love you.

Who is it? It’s me. What are you doing here? All of our business is done. Why are you so freaked out to see me all of a sudden? What’s going on? Oh my God. What have you done to him?

Do you really think that Kristen has Rachel hidden in the mansion? Mm hmm. I know it. I know it. I feel it in my bones. I know it. You know, in fact, what am I doing out here? I’m going to the DiMera mansion right now, and I’m going to get the truth out of Kristen once and for all. I’m, I’m, I gotta go. No, Grady, you can’t do that.

You can’t.

Shirley, after all that time we spent together in the convent, you wouldn’t break the ninth commandment. And which one is that again? Thou shall not bear false witness against thy neighbor. In other words, bitch, don’t lie to your best friend. I’m not lying to my best friend. Look, the police came and searched this place top to bottom.

If Rachel was here, they would have found her, wouldn’t they? No offense to my former colleagues, but if anyone PD, it’s you. I am flattered you think so, but Rachel is not here. Okay, then why aren’t you out looking for her? I, I doubt that you would be here shooting the breeze with me if Rachel was really missing.

You know kidnapping is a crime, right? Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, okay, hold on, just, let’s just say, theoretically, I had her. I mean, how could that be kidnapping? She is my daughter. You cannot be this stupid. You are the non custodial parent, Kristen. Listen to me. Hey. You just got out of prison, and I have to go back inside later today.

Little advice? Not that you’re asking for it. Enjoy your freedom. Find a way to legally enjoy time with your daughter. Yeah, but I cannot, um, I can’t even see my daughter unless Brady… I know. Unless you work things out with Brady. Yes. You can do that. Kristen, you both love Rachel. So start there. Take that first step.

Okay? If, if you know where Rachel is, now is the time to tell Brady.

So, what did you want to talk to me about? Well, sweetheart, um, I know you’re planning on, uh, giving the eulogy at your, your father’s funeral. And, you know, I think that’s… So brave of you, especially since Abe told me how much you hate speaking in public. I’m just not good at it. Oh, that’s not true. You did an amazing job delivering his speech on Juneteenth.

I got through it, anyway. Oh, no, you did better than that. Um, the thing is, uh, Theo, today is going to be a very emotional day. And, well, if it’s too hard for you to give a speech, I… Well, I just don’t want you to feel the pressure of anyone else’s expectations. I don’t really. I just… Well, I want to give the speech for my dad.

That’s what helped me get through the Juneteenth one. And, yeah, it’s gonna be hard, but I’m used to it. I’ve done hard things my whole life. And you’ve done them very well, Theo. Thanks. But I am really nervous about today, so… Paulina, could I ask you a favor? Anything, baby. Do you mind if I practice my speech on you?

For the Juneteenth one, I practiced with Chad, and maybe practicing would help. I I just don’t want to upset you, though. Upset me? Oh, well, if I could get out all my tears right now, right here in my own home, I’d be very grateful to you. Okay.

Um, I don’t usually like hugging people when I’m feeling upset, but can I hug you? Oh, of course. Oh, come here. You come here, honey. Oh.

Okay, Rafe and Eli both talked to Nurse King and her story’s been consistent. She said she, uh, went in to check on Abe. Noted that he was confused and she left. When she came back into the room, he was gone. He had none of the hospital cameras picked up any of his movements. Which makes it kind of hard to believe he was just wandering around out there.

You know what I feel?

It feels to me that someone had moved Abe in that hospital. We knew exactly where all the cameras were. It may be someone who worked in the hospital. But Kayla talked to everybody who was on duty that night. And she said no one saw any of that. That brings us right back to Nurse King. Okay. Eli did a background check on her.

And Kayla said she’s one of those exemplary employees. She’s had the same shift for 15 years. She never took any time off except for when her husband died a few years back. Oh, she left work early on the day Abe disappeared, right? She told the police she was sick. So she was sick on the day Abe disappeared, but didn’t miss a day of work for 15 years.

Until her husband died.

Hey, Mr. Johnson. Hey, Chanel. Come on in. Hey, Chanel. Hi, Mr. Black. I’m profoundly sorry, honey. I bet you’re here for those pictures your mom asked for. Yeah, Kayla found them. They’re right here. Thank you need?

Oh, no, thank you. We have everything we need and then some. Everyone’s been so kind. Coworkers, friends, total strangers. I mean, Abe’s nurse even stopped by to see if Mama was okay the other day. Nurse King? Um, I think that was her name. Uh, why?

Abe is fine. I had to sedate him, okay? Which is all your fault, by the way. My fault? What are you even talking about? Abe saw you on Body and Soul. And then he saw your name in the credits. He figured out that you’re not his son, so I had no choice but to give him a little break from reality. Oh my god, this isn’t right.

That’s what I came here to talk to you about, okay? I met Abe’s son and his daughter, and they’re wrecked. I mean, they love this guy, and they think that he’s dead. All because of you and this crazy scheme of yours. Okay, this is not some crazy scheme, Jerry. I love this man. He was meant for me and I’m the only one that can take care of him the way I can.

Yeah, right. Like you’re caring for him right now? Keeping him cooped up and sedated and away from his family? If you really cared about him, you would let him go. You shut up. You shut up! You have no idea what his life was like with those people. Yeah, you’re right. I don’t. And neither do you. But what I do know is that they’ll be grieving for no damn reason.

And that they’ll be crying at his funeral when he’s sitting in there, right under their noses. Yeah, well, not for long. I’m leaving Salem, and I’m taking Abraham with me.

Lonnie, I know that you’re out on parole in six months, and I don’t want you to do or say anything that might jeopardize you getting back to your family. Wow. So, in other words… In other words… I know that you, as someone who… Who’s been unfairly, um, separated from their children. You know, exactly, exactly how I feel.

I actually do. And Kristen, I want the best for you and for Rachel. I know how much you love her. But Brady is that child’s father. And he loves her too. Yeah, but I, I just, I don’t get to see her. I don’t, I know, Kristen, and I know you still have feelings for him. So, why do you want him to suffer? Huh?

All this time, Kristen, that I have been away from my babies. They’ve had Eli. Thank God. I can’t even imagine. How painful it would be for them to be separated from him right now. He is their world. And like it or not, that is what Brady is for Rachel. God, God watch me, why don’t you? Just think about it. Okay?

God. I have to get to the church. Look, I love you. I love you, too. You know that. Oh. I know.

You know what? I really wish I could be there at the service for you and Theo. I just don’t think anybody is gonna want me there. I would’ve wanted you there. Look, don’t, don’t worry about that. Okay? You just… You focus on reuniting your beautiful family. Do that.

It’s so wonderful to see you. Please, I just, I hope we get to see each other very soon. We will. Here. In Salem. Not in federal prison. Okay. Okay. I love you.

I will be. Civilized with Kristen, okay? Since when has civilized ever worked with her? Brady, let me do it. Wait, what? Let me go to the mansion and try to talk to her. No, uh, Marlena, you… No, no, no. I may not be a trained detective. But I am trained in knowing when somebody is lying to me. And I am trained in…

Having people open up to me. Man, nobody’s better at doing that than you, that’s for sure. Alright, I will go there as soon as I drop the pictures off. Okay, alright, alright, maybe, maybe, maybe you can get through to Kristen. Find out where my little girl is. I will do my damnedest. I know you will. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.

And I didn’t think my father would fall in love with anyone else ever again. Not after my mother died. But, then he met this amazing woman, who changed his life. And she changed mine too. She always makes me feel important. She has a talent for that with everyone she cares about. And even when she made my dad angry, like when she was gonna demolish a town square, which would have been very dumb.

Oh, um, maybe I should… Take that part out. I know sometimes I can be too blunt. That’s very blunt, for sure. But, it’s, it’s, it’s true. So, keep it. Just, just keep it. Go on. Okay, um, where was I? Uh, oh, I got it. Um, And even when my dad was upset with her, They worked it out because they were made for each other. My dad really loved Paulina because she’s such a fun, interesting person.

And I love her too. I may not be her flesh and blood, but she treats me like I am.

I’ll take care of her, Dad.

I promise. Oh, we’ll take care of each other.

So, Nurse King came to your apartment? Yeah, Mama said she wanted to give her condolences when she found out the news that Ape had died. That was very nice of her. Yeah. I wonder how she got your address. Uh, she probably got it from his patient file. Or maybe she got it when she worked on Abe’s last mayoral campaign.

She was on Abe’s campaign? Yeah. She was a big supporter of his. She was even at the park for the Juneteenth celebration when they got married. Um. Anyway, um. I should get going. Thanks again for the treat. We’ll see you real soon, okay? Bye.

Kinda seems to me, we need to take a harder look at Nurse King.

What do you mean you’re leaving Salem? I’m quitting my job and I’m taking Abe somewhere far, far away from here where we can have a fresh start. I’ve been saving up for years, so we’ll lack for nothing. And speaking of money, there’s a big bonus in it for you if you would leave town too. You want me to leave Salem?

Why? Why do you think. You’re up to your neck in this mess too, and it would be better if you were away from here, somewhere, away from prying eyes and all the questions that you seem oh too ready to answer. But… Look, look, look, you’re an actor, right? You want to stay here and say hello to this? Nothing for you here.

Last I checked, they weren’t shooting any movies and TV shows here, right? No, definitely not. Okay. Well, look, I gotta get back in there to Abe. I’ll be in touch about the bonus. Just not a word to anyone. Okay?

Jerry. Why, why was he here? Oh, Theo forgot something. He had to come all the way back from South Africa. Isn’t that something? He’s not my son. It’s not Thea. Of course he’s your son. Silly. Don’t be so silly. Well, listen, I’ve got to go to the hospital and take care of a few things, but while I’m gone, you’re going to watch your stories.

Just let your friends from Pineview keep you company. What do you say? And when I come back… Darling, we’re going to start a whole new life together. Not the, uh, not my son.

Hmm. Well, I’m gonna see you two cupcakes and raise you, uh, a piece of gum. Am I interrupting? Uh, no. Um, it’s okay. Uh, you know, you could have used the front door like a normal person. I know. But then you wouldn’t have answered the door. I don’t mind going through the tunnels. I know my way around down there, having been held captive there a number of times.

Ah, yes, and so here you are. And to what do I owe the pleasure? Smart as you are, I think that you can figure out that I’m here on Brady’s behalf. About Rachel. Ah, and did you take a good look around for her while you were downstairs? In fact, I did. Yes, then you’d see for yourself that, uh, Rachel is not here.

I don’t believe you. Why don’t you make it easy on yourself? And everybody who loves Rachel. Tell me where my granddaughter is. So how you

holding up, son? Dad, I’m, uh, I’m nervous. Marlena just went over to confront Kristen about Rachel. Yeah, yeah, she told me that. Hang on a second. Hey, John. I just gave Kayla a ride back to the hospital. I’m gonna check and see if Nurse King is on shift. Maybe have a word with her. Alright, sounds good. Let me know what’s going on.

Will do.

Who are you, and why do you want to talk to me?

See, I told you they would accept you as their long lost heir, Kyle Von Furstenberg. Good

work. Well now, our business is concluded. Good. Because I’m tired of this charade. I am not Kyle.

I cannot see you either. It was a beautiful service, Mama. It was, wasn’t it? Seemed like the whole town was there. So many people I didn’t even know. Yeah. Uh, but I didn’t see Nurse King. Did, did any of you? No, but maybe she had work? I didn’t either, but I did see that guy Jerry at the back of the church.

Jerry, who was that? He’s the one who saw Dad fall into the river. Lonnie and I met him the other day. He was feeling guilty because he felt like he should have done more to save Dad, but… He can’t swim. Well, then what could he have done? That’s what I said. Well, I don’t know about the rest of you all, but I am ready to go home.

Yeah, me too. Wait, hey, Mom, do you mind if I just stay here for a little bit? I just, I need a minute. It’s not like they can’t keep tabs on me.

All right, all right, but just don’t stay too long. You know Rafe will be at the apartment soon because I know. He’s gonna take me back to prison. I know. Please do not worry. I will be there in time, okay?

Wait Before Lonnie and Eli showed up. You said that you had something to tell me. What is it? Oh I Just wanted to say again how terrible I feel about your dad, and I want you to know how Deep piece of her head.

Your psychological insight knows no bounds, really. You demand that I tell you what you want, but, uh, you really think that’s gonna work, Dr. Evans? Only yesterday, I helped you through hypnosis to get your memories back. When your sister kidnapped you. And injected you with mind altering drugs? Yes, yes, yes, yes, and I, I, I remember, uh, I thanked you for that.

Yes, but you didn’t pay me for it. Now, I, I, I don’t, uh, I don’t want your money. But you could pay me by letting me know where my granddaughter is. Hmm. Well, I’m sorry, I can’t help you with that. Kristen, you can’t keep going on like this. If you truly love Okay, just Stop.

If I did know where Rachel was, and I’m not saying I do, I’m not willing to give that information up for nothing.

I would need something in return.

Hopefully, hopefully Marlene will be able to get through to Chris. I was really hoping to hear from her by now. I just, um, gotta be patient. Hasn’t been that long yet.

Wait, wait, wait, wait. Dr. Abraham. Most honorable man I’ve ever known. Best friend that any man could ever ask for. Cheers. Cheers.

My name is Steve Johnson. I was a good friend of Mayor Carver’s. Oh, you’re Dr. Johnson’s husband. Oh, I recognize you from the hospital Christmas party. You’re the one eyed Santa. Yeah, that’s me. Yeah. Well, uh, what do you want to talk to me about? Well, Abe’s stepdaughter mentioned to me that, uh, you’d worked on his election campaign.

Oh, yes, I did. I’m a huge supporter of Mayor Carver. And you were at, uh, his wedding to Paulina Price? Well, I was at the Juneteenth celebration, if that’s what you mean, along with the whole town. I also woke up early to watch Princess Diana’s wedding. What does that have to do with anything? Well, I’m just wondering if you could tell me…

Exactly what Abe said to you before he disappeared. I’ve already told the police everything, and I don’t mean to be rude, but I really do have to get going. Actually, I need to speak with your wife. Do you know if she’s in her office? She is. She just got back. What do you need to talk to her about? Actually, I’m tendering my resignation.

Oh, really? Why’s that?

So, uh, how about I make some zucchini bread, or pumpkin bread, or oatmeal cookies? I’m not hungry. Mama, you have to eat. Maybe later. Do you believe what they said? What? Who said? Everyone. About how my dad’s in a better place.

I sure hope so, honey. Oh, I sure hope so.

Uh, what do you not understand about goodbye? You are dense. Go.

What now?

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

You are damn good, Chanel. Let’s hope those aren’t laced with a dangerous hallucinogen. Can I help you? Chanel Dupree, I presume. Yeah, that’s me. We haven’t been formally introduced. My name is Clint Rawlings. We have a lot to discuss. Hey. Hi. Coffee? Oh,

I would love some. You just come from the hospital? Yeah, I just left. We had a very eventful morning. Really? Care to share? Well, you might find it interesting. Marlena managed to deprogram Harris Michaels. Really? So he’s gonna be okay? To be determined. I don’t think you understand. We have completely broken through Megan’s conditioning, so you are no longer under her or anybody else’s control.

I’m glad you think so. Well, I think so, because it’s true. And there’s also no reason for you to receive any inpatient care. With all due respect, Dr. Evans, the only way to make sure that I never hurt another innocent person again

is to have me committed immediately.

So, who do you want to be in a committed relationship with? Buddy, me. A trip. Look, we’ll respect your decision either way. We need an answer, Wendy. Are

you suspending me? You’re leaving me no choice. You’re drinking on the job. You’re gonna hurt yourself or worse, someone else. Now, I’m gonna need your gun and your shield. Man, oh man. How do you not get dizzy standing up there on your high horse? What the hell does that mean? It means that you and I both know damn well that you’ve broken as just as many rules as any other officer in this department.

Careful detective. Careful? Yeah. How careful do you want me to be, boss? I mean, I was just as careful as you were when you started having sex with one of your other detectives.

Like sand through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.

Jada! Is it a nice surprise? Sorry, I should have called ahead. No, no need. My oldest friend’s daughter doesn’t need an invitation. Come on in. Thanks.

So, Steve, I wanted to say that I’m so sorry that you lost another long time friend. Thanks. Can’t believe Abe’s gone. Still trying to wrap my head around it. Yeah, me too. I’ve been on the job a long time, and I’ve seen a lot of bad things, but this… It’s hard to make sense of it. I know you and Rafe did everything you could to bring Abe home safe.

We did, but we still can’t help but feel that we let him down.

I wonder how Abe would feel knowing that instead of you being out there looking for him. You were too busy disobeying one of his last rules. My office. Now. No, you just put me on suspension, so I don’t have to go anywhere with you. I’m telling you, don’t do this. Why? What, you don’t want the rest of the department to know that you’ve been screwing Detective Hunt?

You don’t know what the hell you were talking about! Really? This lady whistleblower, she sure knew what she was talking about. Oh, really? Okay, so now we’re gonna believe everything that we read in Leo Stark’s gossip column? Or maybe… Maybe it’s the booze that’s clouding your judgment. Hmm. Yeah, well, I didn’t just read about it in Stark’s gossip column.

I got a first hand account.

You know, I appreciate you two being so patient with me. Giving me time to figure out what I want. Of course.

Trip, do you mind giving Johnny and me some privacy?

Yeah. Yeah, uh, I need to… Don’t check in with my dad anymore. Yeah, please let him know I’m thinking about him. And Tripp, I’ll text you. Okay.

Alone at last. Clint

Rawlings. You’re Abe’s deputy mayor. I was until his untimely demise. May he rest in peace. So, are you the mayor now? Acting. Mayor. I see. And I see you’re open for business.

Sample? I’ll think about it. Well, as I’m sure you know, we’ve been going through some challenges, but with everything that my family’s going through, I’m just, I’m really grateful to be back in business. I’m sure you are. I’m sorry. Is there a problem, Mr. Rawlings? Acting Mayor Rawlings. You’re damn right there’s a problem.

You poisoned half this town, Ms. Dupree. And if it were up to me, sweet bits would be shuttered for good. I know how upsetting it

must have been to learn that you were still susceptible to It’s a nightmare. It’s a nightmare. Only, I never wake up from it. I’m constantly in fear that I’m gonna wake up strapped to a bed and learn that I’ve hurt somebody else. I understand. I know how it feels to… To believe that you are no longer acting of your own free will.

And, and if you think you still have some residual effect, I’d be glad to see you on an outpatient. No, that’s not gonna be enough. That’s not gonna be enough. I need to be under locking. key 24 7 until a team of shrinks can guarantee me that Megan Hathaway and that freak Dr. Rolfe will never be inside my head again.

So it was you that had Michaels go after Megan Hathaway? Oh, what was I thinking, right? I mean, I knew that she had already had him under her control. I mean, we all knew that. And so did he. I mean, he’s a big boy. You know the risks? It’s true, but seriously, I should have known that she wouldn’t go violently when she found out he was trying to kidnap her and transport her to an off grid site.

He’s a pro. He’s probably done a hundred of these sort of things. Yeah, still, maybe. It still would have been best if he had gone with my original idea. What was that? I told him to kill the bitch.

Dr. Evans, as long as Rolf and Megan are out there, I am a threat. To you and everybody that you care about.

You didn’t seriously hurt anybody when you were under their control. Not this time. But what about before? The two guys that I shot in cold blood in Greece. What I did to Bowen Hope, the Johnsons, I attacked your husband and your stepson in San Francisco. Do you want somebody who’s dangerous and unstable like me walking the streets?

Now, this is more like it. Johnny.

Hey. No, no, it’s okay. I didn’t mind a little competition and, and… Besides, if anyone deserves to have two men fighting over her… It is you. Except… I’m not surprised to be one. No, no, no, no, no, you’re not. I’m, I’m, that’s not what I meant. I’m sorry, I didn’t mean for it to come out like that. Johnny, this wasn’t about you competing with Tripp.

Okay, this was about me trying to figure out my feelings. You know, deciding who and what I need in a partner. No, no, I know, I know. And I get that, I respect that, and I am so happy that you chose me. And now the trip is out of the picture. You and I can really just focus on committing to each other. Aren’t you forgetting someone else in your little equation?

Uh, no. What do you mean, who? Who else? Chanel.

So you’re not gonna try the sample? Cuz I have to say my chocolate scones have been known to make grown men cry. This works a lot of people, huh? Why does? That bubbly irreverence. It’s easy to see how so many people have been charmed by you. Theo Carver. Xander Cook. And before that, there was your college professor.

Excuse me? And let’s not forget both Johnny DiMera and his twin sister, Allie Horton. And then there was Talia Hunter. Okay, wait a second. You going over all of the people that I’ve been involved with is really creeping me out. And for the record, not that it’s any of your business, but Talia Hunter only pretended to like me so that she could help Colin Bedford get revenge.

Yes, and then she threw herself and her boyfriend off a roof. All to save you. My God, how do you know all of this about me? And what is your point? My point? Is that you’re not just delivering delicious treats to Salem. Since you arrived here, you and your mother have brought nothing but crime, chaos, and salacious scandals to our fine city.

And it’s time someone did something about that. Mmm.

These are delicious. You’re right.

First hand account. About Jada and me? Yep. From Jada herself. Alright. She told you? Not exactly. Alright. Alright. So, Rafe came over to give me some good news about my sister. And, you know, that was a big relief to me. And then, one thing led to another, and… That’s all I’m gonna say. Well, I am very a great guy, and you’re a great catch.

I really hope it does work out. Thanks.

So you eavesdropped on Jada and Cade’s conversation. Well, detectives gotta detect, right? So yeah, yeah, I know all about your sneaky little affair. Burning question is, what am I gonna do with the information?

Well, John and I… Came up against the same walls on the investigation that you guys did. I kept thinking there would be some piece of evidence out there that would explain why Abe went into the water that night. And where he went when he left the hospital. You know, Rafe and I, well, the entire Salem PD, we turned this city upside down looking for him.

But I wish we could have done more. Hey, buddy. Hey, Dad. Hey, Dana. Hey, Tripp. Nice to see you. You too. Well, I better get back to the station now. Well, thanks for coming by. I’ll let you know if we turn up anything new. Same. See you,

Tripp. Bad day? Written all over my face, huh? Yeah, I think you inherited that from me. When you’re unhappy, you have a hard time hiding it. So what’s going on? What’s got you down? Uh, it’s about Wendy. Who I have very strong feelings for. And that’s a bad thing? It is now. Cause it looks like I’m about to lose her to Johnny DeMera.

What does Chanel have to do with you? And me finally getting to be together. I had to make a choice when it came to you and Tripp, and you had to make one too. Um, no. I didn’t because I wasn’t seeing Chanel the same time I was dating you. Yeah, only because she didn’t give you the chance. What? No! Wendy! You are the only woman that I want to be with.

I’m not so sure about that. Okay. Where is, where is all this coming from? Look, I’m not the one who needed to date two people just to make a decision. Well, because I was being honest with you. Oh, and I wasn’t being honest with you. I’m just saying… When it comes to your feelings with Chanel… I don’t think you’re being honest with yourself.

I know those poison biscuits cause a lot of trouble, but I had nothing to do with it. Except that it was one of your employees that did the poisoning. Okay, my, my bakery was sabotaged. I’m the innocent party here. Oh? Well, what about your customers? Some of whom suffered violent reactions and terrifying hallucinations.

Weren’t they? Of course, and I feel terrible about that. I’m not sure you do. Because from what I’ve gathered, you haven’t taken responsibility for the incident. Or for the fact that your unseemly involvement with Colin Bedford’s parents led directly to this mess. Oh my god, why are you attacking me like this?

What I am doing, Miss Dupree, is making it clear that the Rawlings administration is bringing law, order, and moral decency back to Salem, USA. Which means going forward, if you are involved in one more incident, I’ll see to it that you never do business in this town again.

Stale, by the way.

You asked Michaels to kill Megan

Hathaway? Ah, ah, ah. Ah, come on. I mean, you’re not going to tell Robin, right? Kate! What? Come on. Megan Hathaway is fine, so there’s no harm, no foul. No, I don’t make a habit of lying to my big brother, and you shouldn’t either. Listen, I, he would understand. When we were all presumed dead, John, Steve, Roman, they all considered taking out Orpheus.

Yes, I know. Roman told me. He also told me that he had a change of heart and went to Statesville to stop them from going ahead with their plans. But still, he would understand the impulse. I certainly do. What? Taylor, Brady, Little Miss Catholic School, Laurel actually has a little bit of the killer instinct.

I’m not saying that I condone cold blooded murder. Do I wish that Megan Hathaway was out of our lives for good? Damn right

I do. It is because of my husband that I have enormous empathy for you.

I know. I know that he was brainwashed by, by Rolf and Stefano. Yeah. The DiMeras have used mind control against people for decades. They’re the monsters. Not you. That may be. But they managed to turn me into a weapon not once, but twice. And I’m not willing to risk what could happen if they could do it a third time.

Are

you threatening me, Shawn? I’m just saying. That if you can break the rules, and you can get a pass, then why can’t I? You were drinking on the job! And you have been sleeping with your subordinate! What I do off the clock does not impact my work! And it’s no one’s damn business! Really? Yeah. Okay, what about, what about power imbalance?

Workplace ethics? Like… What the hell do you want, Sean? I want fairness. But at the end of the day, that’s up to you. If you wanna suspend me, fine. Go ahead. You wanna, you wanna treat me like crap? Go ahead. But it… I’m not a vindictive bastard. Meaning what? Meaning that I will be discreet. I’m not going to tell anybody that you’ve been hooking up with Detective Hunter.

Excuse me?

Deputy Mayor! I’m acting mayor now. For your sake, Commissioner Hernandez, I sincerely hope this detective’s got his facts wrong.

Acting Mayor Rawlings, um, I think you misheard. You mean you didn’t just accuse your commanding officer of having an inappropriate workplace relationship with one of your fellow detectives?

What’s going on? Detective Hunter! What a coincidence. We were just talking about you. I think

I like this new lethal Kayla Brady Johnson. I’m not condoning violence. But I want my family to be safe. Said the proud mama bear. Look, I hope that they find Megan Hathaway and put her away for life this time. Oh, amen to that, sister in law. Yeah. Listen, I need to go. Steve and I have a lunch date at home.

Yeah, I’ll walk you out. There’s someone I need to see.

Harris, even if I had you committed to Bayview, it doesn’t mean you won’t be conditioned again. Several lovely demure pawns have succumbed to mind control. Even after very rigorous psychiatric treatments. I, I get that. I mean, I was in intense therapy with those doctors overseas, but we know how it worked out for me.

But at least with inpatient treatment, I, I believe that will help me become mentally stronger. So I’ll be less susceptible to Rolf’s mind games.

What do you want from me? What, what do you mean? Well, you, you can commit yourself to, to, uh, to bathe you of your own volition. Yeah, but then I can check myself out too. But if you commit me, then I have no choice but to stay. That’s what you want?

Yeah. My mind has been so screwed with over the past few years. I

just need some time to heal.

For me this is about survival. And if I can’t rid myself of the fear that at any moment I might lose control of who I am or who I want to be, I just don’t know if I can go on.

So please,

will you commit me or not?

So, you, uh, just left Wendy there with Johnny DiMera? Yeah, what was I supposed to do? Chain myself to the couch? She asked me to go. Well, you know, when Bo and I were your age, we would fight for the lady’s hand. Well, times have changed, Dad. I don’t think Wendy would have appreciated me challenging Johnny to a duel.

What do you think turning tail was the answer? As opposed to refusing to leave? Were you afraid of being cancelled? Or arrested? Oh, man. Everybody’s so sensitive these days. Dad, you do understand that I have to respect Wendy’s wishes. Yeah, yeah. Well, I guess you do. Dad! Yes, of course you do. Okay, I’m not that much of a caveman.

I know that throwing a woman over my shoulder or on the back of Bo’s stolen bike, those days are obviously long gone. Yeah, that’s a good thing. Damn straight it is. We have to trust that women know their own minds, and that is what I am doing. If Wendy chooses Johnny, that is her prerogative, and I’m dealing with it.

End of story. What? What are you thinking now? I just wonder if Wendy really knows her own mind. Of course she does. And I have to accept that.

I think it’s just too cut and dry. I

don’t want to be with Chanel. I want to be with you. And yet every time I turn around, you’re racing off to be with her. Yeah, because she’s my friend. Okay, and she’s been through a lot of trauma lately. She was almost killed. She just lost her stepdad. Yeah, I understand. She’s going through hell, and I feel for her.

But you still think there’s something shady going on? No. Look, I like her. And I do not do girl drama. Then what’s the problem? The problem? Is that your first instinct is to always protect your ex wife and I don’t see that changing anytime soon Which is one of the reasons I’m choosing to be with Tripp

You can’t give up on Wendy that easily Have you been listening to anything? I just said of course I have You have to let her make her own choices And I’m hip to toxic masculinity and gender equality and all that stuff But you don’t have to be toxic and disrespectful to fight for someone. And I’m talking about the kind of fighting you guys do.

You’re smarter, more evolved generation. With your head, you know, with respect and decency. How am I supposed to fight like that? It’s easy. You just show Wendy what a good, awesome man you are. And that you’re in it for the long haul. I don’t think I’ve already tried that. I think that you’ve been let down and hurt by a lot of people in your life.

So when it comes to love, things get dicey, you have a tendency to cut your losses and, and run. To protect yourself. And I get that, man. I used to do the same thing when I was your age. Let me tell you something. If you really care about Wendy as much as you say you do, then you’ve got to let her know you’re not going anywhere.

Will

you do that? Will you at least consider it? I suppose I could. It’s just,

I feel like I’ve already humiliated myself enough. Even just being in this competition with Johnny. Hey. It shouldn’t be humiliating to give something all you got. Okay? And if it doesn’t work out, you can walk away with no regrets, knowing that you fought for it.

Okay. Okay, I’ll take your advice. I’m telling you, you won’t regret it. I better not. Thanks, Dad. Anytime, son.

Now, where are you going? You’re going over to Wendy’s, right? Yes, I’m going. I promise. I’m going. Okay.

So you’re really picking Tripp over me because you think I’m not over Chanel? Your connection with Chanel is only part of the reason. Okay, then what’s the rest?

Well, Tripp and I have been spending a lot of time together lately. Well, I’ve been with Chanel. Yeah. And my feelings for him have started to deepen. Oh. Oh, so it’s my fault. No. No, it’s not anybody’s fault. Look, you’re a great guy, Johnny. And I care about you a lot. Now it’s just… Have a hard time. But I, uh, really do hope that you and Chanel give it another shot.

I don’t want to be with Chanel. How many times do I have to tell you that? What do I have to do to prove it?

Goodbye, Johnny.

Bye.

What’s new?

Hey, you’re back. I’m back. Sorry I had to check on a few other patients. And I wanted to give that sedative some time to kick in. How do you feel? I’m a little more relaxed, thank you.

Good. Have, have you made a decision? About my request? I have.

It’s obvious to me how much you want this, so… I will commit you to Bayview.

Detective Hunter, your partner has just brought a very serious accusation to my attention. Sean? Oh, I didn’t make any accusation. Might I speak to you in private, Detective Hunter? I’m sorry, what is this about? Your relationship with Commissioner Hernandez. Okay, you know what, this, this really isn’t necessary, Mr.

Mayor. In here, Detective. Now? Sorry, Rafe,

I didn’t, I didn’t know that Rawlings was standing right behind me. Yeah, it’s a little late for apologies, Sean. Look, I can make this better. Okay, I’m gonna go in there, I’m gonna talk to him. No! I’m gonna… You’ve done enough. Now, I’m gonna still need your gun and your badge.

Now!

Yeah. Yeah, Mama and I got the flowers you and Henry sent. They were beautiful.

I know. I can’t believe it either. Abe is gone.

So, I heard you’re seeing someone. That’s great. All I’ve ever wanted was for you to be happy. Me? Oh, um, no, there’s no one new in my life.

Uh, Horton? Um, I, I have a customer. I’m, I’m gonna call you back, okay? Okay, yeah, you too. Bye, Horton.

Do you have a permit for that dark cloud you’re carrying around? It’s that obvious, huh? It is to me. What happened?

I just got dumped.

Hey! Hey!

Where’s Johnny? He left. Really? I figured you two would be celebrating your new official status as a couple. He and I have nothing to celebrate. What, he’s not excited about being your boyfriend? He’s not my boyfriend. Trip.

Okay, okay, I’m, I’m, I’m a little lost here. You asked me to leave so you could tell Johnny. So I could tell Johnny that I didn’t want to be with him. What?

I needed some time alone with him to explain why I chose you. Me? Yes, you. Dr. Tripp Johnson, you are the man I want to be with. That is, if you still want to be with me. Oh yeah, I do.

Mmm, something smells delicious. I hope you’re in the mood for some of my famous beef stew. Your amazing beef stew? Yeah. I think I’m in the mood for anything you’re cooking. Oh boy.

How was your day then? Well, two of my favorite people stopped by. Jada and then Tripp. Ah, for good reasons or bad? Jada was here to give her condolences about Abe, and… Well, that was nice of her. What about Tripp? Well, Tripp came to me for a little bit of advice on his love life. Uh huh. What do you mean, uh huh?

Tripp came to you for relationship advice. Well, not exactly, but I am his father. Oh. So you gave it to him. What can I say? When you have a gift, you gotta give it away. Hmm. So you say. Ah. So what about you? Busy morning? Um, well, actually, you know what? I stopped by the pub. And had a very interesting conversation with Kate.

Interesting how. Well, it turns out that my sister in law is the reason that Harris Michaels went after Megan Hathaway. It just didn’t turn out the way she hoped.

Knock, knock. Up for a visitor? Hey Kate.

Look, um, I need to apologize. Unfortunately, there wasn’t a card that said, Sorry that my harebrained scheme almost got you killed. You have nothing to apologize for. It was my plan, and it went awry. I’m actually, uh, I’m actually grateful to you. Oh, grateful. Yeah, if you hadn’t convinced me to go after Megan, I wouldn’t have found out that she still had the power to control me.

Yeah, well, maybe that’s a good thing. Let me know that I’m, I’m still a danger to myself and to the people around me.

But, uh, thanks to you, I’m going somewhere to get the help that I need. Okay, where’s that? Bayview.

Marlena, hey. Oh, hi there. Uh, uh, Are you here on assignment? No, um, no, I’m off duty.

Uh, wait, um, Look, actually, that’s, uh, that’s a lie. I’ve been, I’ve been doing that a lot lately. I’ve been lying to myself and, uh, and to others.

The truth is, I’ve, uh, Look, I’ve been suspended from the force. Oh my, what happened? Look, I’m in trouble. And, uh, Look, I need, I need your help. Look, I need your help before I make my life any worse than I already have.

Detective Hunter just confirmed that you and she have been engaging in an inappropriate workplace relationship. As you know, this is a violation of department policy regarding fraternization between city appointees and their subordinates. So I have no choice but to take immediate action.

I’m gonna need to take a gun in your badge. Okay, well, with all due respect, Mr. Mayor, you, uh, you don’t have the authority to suspend Detective Hunter. Oh, I’m not suspended, Mayor. Or you, for that matter. But as Acting Mayor, I do have the authority to appoint the Commissioner of Police. Or remove him. In other words, you’re fired.
