THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Uh, hey. This is Tripp, is, uh, is Wendy here?

No.

Oh. Uh, well, do you, uh, do you know where she is?

Yeah. She’s out at the station visiting her brother

June one.

So happy to see you. Don’t, don’t what? Don’t pretend everything is normal, like you didn’t brainwash someone late, which is crazy enough on its own. You brainwashed them to take out your romantic rival, Jim Wayne, you don’t understand. Of course, I understand you didn’t want me to attend Stephanie and Gabby’s engagement party.

Remember? You tried to stop me cause you ordered Harris Michaels to crash the party and commit murder.

3, 2, 1. Open your eyes.

How do you feel? I’m just frustrated. We’ve been working at this for hours. Doesn’t seem like we’re making any progress. Well, I, I know this kind of, the programming takes time. You’ve gotta be patient with the process and with yourself. Maybe hypnotherapy isn’t working for me

objectively. I know it’s wrong. But I still have this overwhelming urge to kill Stephan Damara.

So is Stephan on his way? I haven’t told him what happened yet. Well, he doesn’t know that you were attacked. It’s just a few scratches, but I’m sorry, I, I can’t believe that Dr. Wolf jumped me. You know what? Next time that bastard’s not gonna be, so No, no, no, no, no. Next time. Do you hear me? No. Okay. And since, uh, that old bastard and Megan are still out there, maybe you ought stay with me at least till we catch ’em.

No. Okay. That it. Thank you. But don’t underestimate me big bro. Okay? I can handle this. Plus I just wanna relax. I wanna be home in the arms of my loving fiance. God, what the hell is wrong with you?

Where the hell is Rafe? He’s at the hospital checking on his sister. Then who is in charge down here? Uh, well that would be me, obviously. Is there a problem? Yes. Ms. Trask? Yes. Can you tell me why the divers are packing their gear up? Uh, maybe because they’ve searched every inch of the river and there’s no sign of mega deira or will hem wolf.

They’re clearly gone. So I’m calling it to search. You can’t do that? Uh, actually I can, and I just did. Detective Brady, do I smell alcohol on your breath,

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

Alcohol. Like why would I have alcohol in my breath? I’m on duty that you are detective.

What is this? But that, um, I don’t, it just, um, like I, I dunno, you see this makeshift memorial right here? People have been dropping all sorts of things off from Mayor Carvers. So, uh, I maybe they pour one his on or right. So if I take this down to the station and have it dusted for print, the results won’t come back.

Reading for a certain Sean Douglas Brady, uh, Be my guest. If you want to waste apartment’s, time and money, that’s on you. But I’m not gonna find my prints on that then I guess we’re gonna have to wait and see.

You know, Wendy was, uh, just pretty upset with her brother last night. How was she today? Still in shock. I wish there was something I could do for her. You know, I think you’ve done quite enough.

What’s that supposed to mean? What the hell were you thinking Johnny dragging? When did your family’s party, I mean, thanks to you, she could have been killed,

Jing. One. I would never put you in danger, but you did, Lee. You let me walk into a situation that could have gone very wrong. People could have died, including me as I told Gabby and Stephan. I believe Megan, setting me up. Just stop. Stop. Okay. I know it was you, Harris Michaels said so himself. And do you know how horrified I was when I heard that I was trying to defend you, but my godly Your actions are indefensible.

No. No. You’ve got it wrong. You know, when you decided not to fight Gabby on the divorce, I felt so proud of you because I thought you were finally taking the high road, you know, trying to make up for all your past mistakes, be a better person. But obviously that was all an act, and now instead of pride, I feel shame.

I’m ashamed that you’re my brother.

I’ve been in this situation before, thanks to Megan the last time the i s a used e c t to deprogram me and it works. So why don’t we just try that again.

I don’t think we need anything that risky. I think that we can try something else. Have another resort. Because your, your programming wasn’t as ingrained as it was before, but what does it feel like? That it has a vice grip on me. I understand. We’ll try something else. Please just get the electrodes and zap the hell out of me.

Nobody’s getting zapped on my watch.

Okay. Then what?

Something new and you’re going to have to trust me.

We are using hypnosis. To go back to the moment when you returned,

I want you to remember back to the moment when you were kidnapped. Can you do that? Mm-hmm.

Tell me, tell me where you are.

I’m, I’m in a lab.

Okay. Look around. Tell me what you see.

I’m strapped down to a gurney. I’m trying to get free, but I can’t. I feel groggy. Just everything’s blurry and off. I must have been drugged. Is there anyone in the room with you?

No, but I hear voices, muffled voices. What are they saying? I can’t, I can’t make it out. I think they’re out in the hall. Wait, someone’s coming. Who is it? It’s Lee Lee. Listen carefully. Commander, your mission is to go to Stephan and Gabby’s engagement party. Once there, you will find Stephan Demara and eliminate him.

Commander, you will stop at nothing to fulfill your mission.

You lied to my face. You said you were not gonna confront Megan, that you were going straight home, and now I find you here. Well, technically I didn’t use those exact words. I only led you to believe that I was listening to your advice. Do not get cute with me right now. Now is not the time. Had you listened to me, you would be home safe and sound.

And instead you got attacked by Rolph and handcuffed to Megan’s bed. I don’t even know why I bother with you anymore. Okay, Stefan, you’re upset right now and I get it. And I agree with you because what Gabby did was reckless and dumb. Excuse me. But the important thing is she’s all right. Yes, she is. She’s also standing right here.

Yep. Trying to help you. Gabby, after you jumped Michael’s, I saving your life. Let me finish. After you dropped Michael’s, you promised me you were gonna take these risks and more. You could have gotten yourself killed. How do you not see that? You know what? I’m you. I’m not gonna sit here and get scolded like a little girl who didn’t eat her vegetables.

I’m going home Good. Unless that’s another one of your lies. And I’m gonna get a phone call later that I don’t know. You went to question Hannibal Lecter and ya ended up in the bottom of a freaking well. Oh yeah. Well, the woman who spoke to Lecter and went after the killer, she’s a hero of this story. She saved the day and rescued that woman from the.

Does that mean what I think it means?

Does that mean what I think it means? You don’t wanna know.

Don’t you think? You’re being a little harsh. Mui moi. What happened to family loyalty? Family loyalty. Lee, you’ve lied to my face. You told me you were moving on. You even said you hired a matchmaker and then you attempted murder.

Wait a minute. That day I overheard part of your phone call. You said something about a big plan.

When I asked you about it, you claimed you were talking to a matchmaker, but you weren’t. You were talking about planning to kill stuff. It, look at me. Look at me.

What is wrong with you? When did you become so unhinged, so venal that you would go to such extremes to get what you want? Why couldn’t you just let Gabby go? Who are you to lecture me about letting go? You’ve been stringing along two poor stops for months.

Okay, back up. First of all. I didn’t drag Wendy along to that party. She was happy to come along with me. And second of all, how was I supposed to know that her crazy brother was planning to assassinate my Uncle Stephan? Please, you know damn well that putting someone in a room full of de mayors is like dropping them in a shark tank at feeding time.

Are you even listening to me? Wendy’s brother Lee Shin hired a hitman to kill my uncle. Stephan Demara, you know, the victim and all this. Selma doesn’t keep up with current affairs. What are you talking about? Your aunt Megan Demara was also apparently involved and now she’s on the lamb.

Maybe it’s slipped your mind, Misra, but we have more pressing matters to attend to, such as Megan Demara being on the loose, and yet you. You’re more concerned about, uh, a stupid empty liquor bottle. Yes, I am a hundred percent concerned detective. So maybe I’ll just take this out to the police lab and find out if it’s really yours.

Stop.

Fine. It’s mine. Are you happy now? No, I’m not happy. Why the hell would I be happy about a police officer drinking on the job? Actually, I’m a detective and currently right now I’m doing nothing. I’m just standing around waiting for the divers to report back. It’s not. It’s not like I’m in some high speed pursuit.

It’s not a big deal. Of course, it’s a big deal. You are an on duty cop. You are carrying a gun. You can’t have your judgment impaired. Does it look like my judgment is impaired? Yeah, actually it does. Why else would you prematurely call off a search for a a dangerous psychopath and her evil sidekick? Hey.

Nobody wants to find Megan more than I do. Okay? Nobody. But look around. She’s gone. And even if I, whatever, if I’ve had a few, it’s not like I can’t spot a submarine. I mean, for all we know, she’s sailed off into the land of blue meanies. You know what? Maybe you’re right. Maybe it doesn’t make a difference whether or not you’re drinking on the job.

Matter of fact, maybe you should have started knocking them back sooner. Maybe if you had a few, you would’ve been so quick on the draw when you shot your own father. Don’t

go to hell.

I want you to listen to my voice and accept what I’m telling you.

Lee Hin was the one who wanted you to kill Stephan. He put that idea in your mind and you did not want to do it.

Just keep saying it over and over. And over. It’s getting to me. It’s getting into my head. I understand. You have to ignore that. Don’t listen to it. Don’t listen. Can you do that?

Okay. Okay. Okay, good. Let’s go over this one more time. But this time you’re an observer, not a participant.

Listen carefully. Commander, your mission is to go to Stephan and Gabby’s engagement party. Once there you will find Stephan Deira would eliminate him. Commander, you must stop at nothing to fulfill your mission. Furthermore, you will believe it was who gave you the orders? Not me. If anyone should ask why you want to kill Stephan?

You are to blame Lee Hin.

It wasn’t Lee,

Dr. Wolf and Megan did this. They framed him.

You compare. My being indecisive with what you’ve done. Oh my God, Lee, do you do, do you even realize how insane that is? You have to judge me for being conflicted about not being able to choose between two guys for you to judge me for anything. I was only trying to point out that most of us are somewhat irrational when it comes to matters of the heart.

Yeah. Irrational doesn’t even begin to explain your behaviorally. And as for whom I choose to be with, I am not stringing anyone along. Okay. I, I am trying to figure out responsibly who is better suited for me. I am in the rare position of having two great guys wanting to be with me, and yes, it is flattering.

It’s so confusing. And difficult,

but I will make my choice at some point. And unlike you, I won’t be committing any crimes along the way. I didn’t commit a crime, Wendy. I told you that I was set up. Why the hell won’t you believe me? I dunno what to believe about you anymore, Lee. Well believe this.

I care deeply about you, J one, I think the world of you, and I only want you to find happiness, so will you at least allow me to offer my. Further Lee perspective.

Sure. Knock yourself out. Okay. I think you do know, maybe not consciously, but on some level, which one of those young men you are more drawn to, which one of them will give you what you need,

but because of your big heart. You’re reluctant to hurt the one that you’ll eventually have to reject, and that’s why you’re vacillating. Am I right?

I’ll take your silence as confirmation, and so I advise you, my precious sister not to procrastinate any longer. Take the stress off yourself. And relieve those young men of their uncertainty, their need to compete for your affection. Make that choice.

Wow. Yeah. I knew my aunt had locked my dad and Aunt Kristen in the basement, but I didn’t know she was trying to have my uncle’s stuff and killed. Yeah, just more proof that your family’s dangerous. So if you really care about Wendy, you’ll keep her away from them being awfully judgmental. Don’t you think I have a good reason to be judgmental?

I mean, I’m a victim of your crazy family too. Remember? That had me kidnapped. Oh, oh, yeah. Yeah. I do remember. I remember because it was right after your crazy mother kidnapped my grandma Susan, who is now dead because of your mother. So, I don’t think you get to criticize my family when yours is just as messed up.

My mom has a mental illness. Yeah, I heard about that. I bet she’s faking it. Just like she’s faked everything else. You best watch your mouth hear me. You’re the one who started this taking shots at my family, but I don’t think that’s what it’s really about. Your anger. See, I think it’s about Wendy and I think that you’re afraid.

That you’re gonna lose her to me.

Coast Guard’s gonna be keeping an eye out from Megan’s submarine. I’ve already alerted Isa. They’re gonna be checking international waters. Hopefully we catch a break. Thanks for the update, commissioner. No problem. Anything else? I’ll be in my office. Actually, there is one more thing. You need a fire Detective Brady over there for drinking on the job.

Look, first I gotta say that I’m getting really, really frustrated and kind of embarrassed in this little ridiculous competition we have between us. And although a part of me would just prefer just back out all together and just tell Wendy that I am done humiliating myself to try to prove that I’m more worthy of her devotion than you are for another part of me knows that’s do.

That would be to give up on her,

huh? I feel the same way actually. Okay, then okay, then let’s just. Stop with the, oh, I’m better for Wendy than you are. I’m, I’m closer to her than you are. I spend more time with her than you do. It’s just all juvenile and petty, don’t you think? I do think. All right, so given that we both don’t want to be petty or juvenile about this anymore, I say we both just do our best to be mature.

And dignified through all of this. Stop trying to prove who, who’s gonna make Wendy the happiest or who’s the better person. Just be ourselves. Let Wendy make up her own mind. I’m all for that. Me too. Let’s hope Blake like hell. You chooses me. You, you couldn’t give mature and dignified much of a shot.

Could you? Come on, man. I’m kidding. I’m, but really, I, I think the best thing we can do is just give Wendy her space and be patient. Yeah. Patient. Patient. You know, I’m trying to be patient with you, Lee, allowing you to weigh in. About my left life when it is totally irrelevant to why I’m here right now. And as I’ve said before, there is no comparing my indecisiveness to you committing a felony brainwashing someone to have someone else killed.

Why do you continue to accuse me when I never admitted that I did either? But clearly you want the moral eye ground and I will happily conceded to you.

You know, instead of being glib, maybe you should start figuring out a way that you’re gonna get out of this mess you’ve made for yourself. And if by some miracle you do find a way out, maybe consider this a wake up call. Because it would be a shame to throw your entire life away over a woman who has made it abundantly clear.

She doesn’t want you

top three. And he confirmed Pento means exactly what I thought it meant. I am not an ungrateful ass, coulda fool me, really? So I’m the bad guy here for caring about you, for worrying about your safety. Huh? For getting upset that you deliberately put yourself in harm’s way for no good reason. I had a good reason Steph and Megan has to pace.

She tried to kill you, and in turn you almost got yourself killed. Well, I’m still here. One piece. Why? Why are you being so stubborn about this? Why are you being so angry about this? Because you scared the hell outta me. Do you have any idea how freaked out I was when I heard what happened to you? I’m fine, but you almost weren’t.

It could have been so much worse

if Megan really was the one who wanted me dead, she would’ve had no problem knocking you off too,

and I never would’ve forgiven myself.

You are my entire world. Get me. You’re fine too.

Why are we fighting? Because we’re good at it, but we’re good at other things too.

I mean, it, it’s, it’s all coming back to me. Lee Chen didn’t order me to kill Stephan was Dr. Wolf. I, I, I’m pretty sure I didn’t even see Lee in the lab, but Wolf wanted me to think so. So I would blame Lee,

now that you remembered all that. When you see Stephan Damara, how do you feel?

Hi.

I, I don’t, I don’t feel anything

and those thoughts of wanting or needing

to kill him are gone.

Dr. Evans, I think you did it.

Well, it must be some sort of mistake. I have worked with Detective Brady for a long time, and there’s no way that he would ever drink on the job. Down at the docks, I smelled alcohol on his breath. At first, he tried to deny that he was inebriated, but when pressed, he admitted it. Is this true? Shawn?

I think that we, uh, we should discuss this in private commissioner, what is there to discuss? Detective, you drank on the job endangering the public commissioner. This man should be fired immediately. Yeah. To ask, this is my department and I suggest you focus on your own. Oh, I would much prefer to do that, but.

I can’t prosecute criminals if you can’t catch them. Mm-hmm. Maybe it would help if you didn’t have a bunch of drunks and losers on the payroll. Oh, well, as I recall, we actually have a suspect in there right as we speak. So maybe instead of worrying about my job, you should focus on yours and prosecute Lee Chen.

Now, if you excuse me, I have to take this. Hi, Marlena. Yeah, well, how’s it going with Michaels? What? Well, that’s great news.

Hey. Sorry, I yelled. I’m sorry too that I lied. Made you worry. I guess I just felt like I needed to take control of the situation. You. Take control of a situation. No, it’s, it’s so outta character. Stop. I’m being serious. Ever since Michael just showed to our party, I stopped thinking about how I could lose you again.

You don’t know what that’s like, lose here thinking that you’ve been gone forever. You’re right. I, I get it. I guess I’m the lucky one, huh? I didn’t have to live without you. Hard to have your heart broken when you’re in a coma, huh? Yeah, but easy to have it ripped outta your chest, literally. Hmm, true. Good point.

But hey, you didn’t have to suffer the way you did.

I mean, it was so stupid leaving your side that night to help my mother escape. That was such a bad decision. Obviously, and I suppose that tonight I made a similarly bad decision, one that could have torn us apart again. Okay, so how about we make a pact from here on out? We work as a team. After all. We are getting married in what, two weeks?

You’re right. No, you’re right. And then we’re going rogue. So we work together. We have a deal. Deal.

So you believe that leash Chen is innocent? I like if he was involved. I have no way of proving it. I, I never saw him. Mm-hmm. But what I do know is Dr. Rolfe implanted the idea that Lee was behind everything.

Okay. Well if you think of anything else, please let me know. I will brave. Now that he has been successfully deprogrammed, is it all right for him to go? You’re absolutely sure that he’s no longer a threat to Stephan or to anyone else. I will verify that myself and, uh, I’ll also testify in court that he was not responsible for what he did, and I can even submit a, an official report if that’s what you would like, I would.

Thank you. Does that mean I’m stuck here In the meantime?

Well, if Dr. Evans says that you are fine, then um, I’m not gonna argue with her. Listen, not. I wanna be keeping a close eye on you. And if for any reason that I deem you are a threat to anyone in Salem, I’m gonna slap these things right back on you. Understood. Yes, sir. Okay.

I have nothing to say to you. Not without my lawyer present. You don’t have to say a word just. Listen, Harris Michaels is changing his story. He, um, is walking back his accusation that you were the one who. Sent him to murder. Stephan Damara. Hmm. Told you I was innocent. Well, I’m not so sure about that, but lucky for you.

The only other people that can confirm or deny this new revelation have fled Salem in a submarine.

Does this mean that? I’m free to go.

So if you, uh, don’t mind. I’m gonna hang around for a little bit. Wait for Wendy to come home. What happened to give her space? Oh, you’re not doing that because I happened to live here, which is an unfair advantage, as you well know. And, and what happened to, you know, being mature about all this? Okay. Being mature doesn’t mean I’m willing to have you barging in here whenever you want to.

Putting your feet up on our coffee table.

Better.

Look, this is my apartment. I share it with Wendy. If you wanna hang out with her, you do it on your own territory or at least neutral territory. Fine. I’ll leave, you know, you know what I’ll do is I’ll, um, I’ll just call Wendy, invite her over to my mansion, uh, where our private chef is cooking up a delicious dinner tonight.

We’ll have a nice evening. Wow. Are you really going to start out how freaking wealthy your family is? Do you really think Wendy give the damn that you live in a mansion or that you have a live-in cook? I don’t think she minds it. Maybe she doesn’t mind it, but she also doesn’t give a rat’s ass, and she’s not a shallow jerk like you are.

You know, she cares about things that matter, like character intelligence. Oh, okay. So, so what you’re saying now is that, that you’re smarter than me, that you have more character. Well, guess what that is cool. Just, just go, man, disco. All right. Like I, I, I really thought that we could get past this whole teddy craft, but clearly I was wrong.

So just, just leave. Nah, I think I’ll stay. Hell, you will get outta my car. I can do that. Wait, Wendy, like that man. What, what is going on here? Uh, Wendy. Hello? I just was, uh, coming by to see how you were doing. Yep. And clearly she’s fine. So we’ll be seeing you, Johnny. Mm-hmm. Although, actually before you got here, uh, Johnny and I decided to be mature about this and not.

Petty and obnoxious and juvenile, but clearly he’s incapable and I don’t blame him.

Actually, I, uh, don’t blame neither of you for hating this. I stringing you both along, so it’s time to put an end to it.

Dr. Evans, thank you. I’m in your debt. Not at all. I am glad I could help though. And after everything you’ve done for me, I. I hate to ask for another favor. Oh, all right. What is it? I want you to have me committed to Bayview.

Thank you for letting me know. Yeah. Talk soon. My brother, apparently Michaels had a breakthrough and remembers that he wasn’t. Taking orders from Lee that, that this was a lie that Dr. Wolf implanted in his head. So EJ and Kristen were remembering accurately. They were telling the truth that Megan set Lee up.

Maybe I just can’t help shake the feeling that Lee’s and involved somehow, Wendy said Lee freaked out when she said she was coming to our party. He had to have known something. And if Lee ends up going free, he’ll definitely come after you again. I can’t let that. I mean, we can’t let that happen. That’s right.

We’re a team now.

No match for us.

So as a verdict, I spoke with Commissioner Hernandez and he confirmed that Harris Michaels can’t place you at the lab that he was being held, and he clearly remembers Dr. Rolf. Instructing him to put the blame on you. So you have nothing on me. You have to let me go for now, but I wouldn’t get too comfortable Mr.

Shin. So I’ll have my eye on you cuz I don’t like people that get away with crimes. Didn’t you decline to press charges against Talia Hunter when she poisoned half the town, including you? That young woman was in an emotionally abusive relationship. You know what my decisions are of no concern of yours.

Some might say I was in a emotionally abusive relationship with Gabby Hernandez. You really are an arrogant son of a bitch. An arrogant son of a bitch who’s free to walk outta here. Correct? Right after you get someone to uncuff me. This is the second time you’re slipping through my fingers, Mr. Shin, and I promise you next time you won’t be so lucky.

Hey, man. Um, thanks for having my back with Trask. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Well, I don’t take my orders from Trask. But I can’t ignore the fact that you have been drinking on the job. I, I promise it’s never gonna happen again. Oh, it’s just a one time thing, right? Except that it wasn’t right. What do you mean, Shawn? Come on.

Trust isn’t the only one who has noticed that you have been off your game. You’ve been late to work, your work’s been sloppy, you’ve been distracted. I mean, look, I’m trying to cut you some slack cause I know you were upset about your father. But I can’t look the other way anymore. Not anymore. What are you saying?

I think you need to take some time to get your act together. So until further notice, you are suspended from the force.

Johnny Trip. Look, I like you both a lot, but hitting you guys at the same time, it isn’t fair to anybody.

So it’s time for me to finally make a choice.

You mean like right now? I think it’s for the best.

Okay. Uh, Well then who is it gonna be? Is it gonna be me or…?

Update written by Joseph

Chad and Stephanie look at a potential place to live. They agree it’s the best one yet and point out the positives. Stephanie notes that they’d be able to fit a king sized bed in their bedroom. Chad likes the sound of that and agrees that they should take it as they kiss.

At the Kiriakis Mansion, Maggie finishes a call as Alex walks in with his bags packed. Maggie asks if he’s going on a trip, but Alex reveals that he’s moving out.

Chloe joins Xander at the Spectator office as Xander is distracted and says he’s not in a jolly mood. Xander informs her that revenues are down 30%. Chloe reveals that she sold a traveling agency on a huge by in for ads and shows him the numbers which thrills Xander. Xander tells Chloe that she’s fantastic at her job as they kiss. Chloe asks if he didn’t have enough of her this morning before work. They continue kissing until Chloe says they can’t do that here. Xander asks why not, pointing out that they’ve done it in their bedrooms and every place of their apartment. Xander suggests they shake things up a bit by doing it in the office.

In the town square, Gwen informs Kristen that she accepted Dimitri’s proposal so she and Kristen will be going from friends to family. Kristen sarcastically congratulates her. Gwen guesses that Kristen is just surprised at how fast this is moving. Kristen thinks back to Dimitri’s plan and tells her that she’s actually not surprised at all.

Dimitri returns home to find Leo in his room. Dimitri asks what the hell he’s doing in his room. Leo responds that he’s about to expose him for the vicious swindler he is. Leo declares that he’s only marrying Gwen to get his hands on the inheritance money. Leo states that he’s going to tell Gwen everything and there’s nothing he can do to stop him. Dimitri responds that he thinks there is as he grabs Leo and kisses him.

Chad suggests to Stephanie tha they take it to their new bedroom. Stephanie points out that they should sign the lease first and decides to text the realtor. Brady arrives and says he came to check the apartment out as he’s looking for a place for he and Rachel. Chad and Stephanie inform him that they are sorry but he’s too late as they just decided to take it.

Chloe tells Xander that this isn’t appropriate as they are at work. Xander jokes that he’s her boss so she has to do what he says. Chloe then says she is definitely saying yes as they continue kissing.

Gwen questions Kristen not being surprised at how quickly she and Dimitri got engaged. Kristen says she knows how much she wanted to move on from Xander. Gwen insists this has nothing to do with Xander and says that Dimitri swept her off her feet. Kristen acknowledges that Dimitri can be persuasive and charming. Kristen hopes Megan’s situation doesn’t put a damper on their wedding. Kristen wishes Gwen and Dimitri all the best and then walks away.

Leo slaps Dimitri and says he was right about him as he knows what he’s up to. Leo questions Dimitri thinking he could use his body in exchange for his silence and if he got him in bed that he won’t tell Gwen what he’s up to. Dimitri asks if he’s right.

Xander and Chloe begin kissing on the desk at the office until Gwen walks in and questions what the hell is going on. Xander claims that they were just going over Chloe’s new ad buy. Gwen remarks that he was just going over Chloe. Chloe decides she will go get coffee. Gwen tells Chloe to get the hell out. Chloe then hurries out. Gwen turns around as Xander puts his clothes back on and apologizes that she had to see that. Gwen assures that she’s not jealous and doesn’t care who Xander is having sex with because she’s quite busy herself, giving an amazing man the most amazing sex that a woman could give him.

Leo tells Dimitri that he’s not that easy and now he knows that Dimitri is just marrying Gwen to cash in on his inheritance, she needs to know the truth. Dimitri removes his shirt and argues that what Gwen doesn’t know can’t hurt her. Leo says he’s not interested. Dimitri touches Leo, so he admits maybe he would be interested if he didn’t just propose to his best friend and calls him a douchy straight guy trying to take advantage of his sexual appetite. Dimitri then tells Leo that he is not straight.

Brady says he’s having a hard time finding a place as he just lost another to Xander and Chloe as he’s always showing up late. Stephanie offers to refer him to their real estate agent which Brady says he would appreciate. Brady tells them to enjoy their new place and tells Chad to enjoy his new job. Chad responds that he doesn’t have a new job and questions how Brady heard about that. Brady informs him that Alex told him and he wasn’t too happy about it.

Maggie questions why Alex is moving out. Alex responds that he’s just not that comfortable here anymore and he hasn’t been sleeping well. Maggie suggests he could switch rooms or mattresses. Alex clarifies that’s not what is making him uncomfortable, it’s Maggie.

Kristen gets a call from EJ, informing her that Megan has escaped. Kristen panics and remarks that she wouldn’t be surprised if Megan takes them all out one by one. Kristen thanks EJ for the heads up and warns him to watch his back. Kristen then hangs up. The door to the tunnels suddenly opens. Kristen grabs a fireplace poker but is shocked when her daughter Rachel emerges from the tunnels and hugs her.

Stephanie tells Chad that they will need a lot of furniture. Chad says it will be a lot of shopping. Stephanie gets a text that their realtor will be there in an hour with the keys. Chad says that gives him enough time to go give Maggie his decision. Stephanie kisses him and wishes him luck. Chad says he’ll be back soon and exits.

Alex tells Maggie that he just doesn’t want to live in the same house with the woman who fired him. Maggie argues that Alex is the one who signed with Titan’s biggest competitor and stole a huge client away from her. Alex argues that is not what happened. Alex apologizes and says he gets it’s how she sees the deal. Maggie insists it’s what he did. Alex says they will have to agree to disagree but they can both agree that this living situation is not healthy for either of them. Maggie asks if he at least said goodbye to Victor. Alex says no as he was taking a nap and he didn’t want to wake him. Alex says he’ll see her around. Maggie stops him and says whatever happened between them doesn’t change the fact that they will always be family. Maggie asks where Alex is going to live. Alex responds that he’ll let her know when he finds a place as he then exits.

Brady walks through the town square and runs in to Chloe. Chloe asks how he is. Brady says he’s okay but a little frustrated as he’s been trying to find a place to live for he and Rachel but he just lost another one to Chad and Stephanie. Brady adds that he was hoping to find a place before Rachel came back from camp. Brady then gets a call from the camp, who informs him that Rachel has gone missing from camp. Brady questions where the hell she could’ve gone.

Kristen tells Rachel that she has missed her so much and she’s so happy to see her. Kristen then questions what she’s doing here when she’s supposed to be at camp. Rachel questions why Kristen cares since she never came to see her before she left and didn’t say goodbye. Kristen explains that her aunt Megan had her locked up in the basement. Kristen assures that nothing else could have stopped her from seeing her off. Kristen hugs her and says she’s so happy that she came to see her, but she’s going to have to take her back to camp. Rachel says no way.

Leo questions Dimitri seriously telling him that he’s queer. Leo asks if Dimitri thinks he’s stupid and wants him to believe he’s gay. Dimitri says that he is. Leo brings up Dimitri sleeping with Gwen and proposing to her. Dimitri confirms that it was to get the inheritance money. Dimitri adds that Leo was right all along that he had an ulterior motive and now he knows what it is.

Xander tells Gwen that he heard Dimitri bragging about proposing to her. Xander remarks that Dimitri is so full of himself and questions how he could possibly have room left in his heart for her. Xander asks why Gwen would even consider marrying such a narcissistic, pompous jerk. Gwen argues that he’s actually a generous and loyal person who happens to be in love with her. Gwen then reveals that she said yes to marrying Dimitri and she can’t wait to be his wife.

Leo brings up Dimitri’s fling with Billie Reed. Dimitri says he was playing her too. Leo thinks he’s playing him but Dimitri says it’s not like that. Leo insists that he’s not gullible, stupid, naïve, or a pushover. Dimitri implores him not to reveal his intentions or his sexual orientation to anyone and says he’s willing to give himself to Leo as a means to that end. Dimitri adds that it wouldn’t be a sacrifice as he’s very much looking forward to giving himself to Leo. Leo asks if he’s saying he’s attracted to him which Dimitri confirms that he is.

Xander asks Gwen if she’s sure this is a good idea when she just met Dimitri and knows the horrific things he’s done. Gwen acknowledges that he hasn’t led an exemplary life but he says that she brings out the best in him. Gwen adds that he knows how she likes bad boys and she’s no angel herself. Xander can’t help but wonder if maybe this has less to do with her being in love with Dimitri and more to do with him getting with Chloe. Gwen complains of Xander’s massive ego and insists it’s not about that. Gwen says that Xander has moved on from her, so she would very much like to move on from him. Gwen calls this a very positive step in that direction and asks why Xander can’t just be happy for her. Gwen goes over her history, pointing out that Jake cheated on her, Chad was in love with Abigail, and Xander never really got over Sarah. Gwen states that now for the first time in her life, there is a man who wants to be with her and only her…

Dimitri tells Leo that he’s wanted to be with him since he first saw him in Arizona. Leo argues that Dimitri was in to Billie and wanted to kill him. Dimitri disagrees and says he was just attempting to hide his desire for him. Dimitri claims he’s always found Leo attractive and so interesting. Dimitri lists off what he likes about Leo and says he thinks he’s so hot. Dimitri understands Leo doesn’t want to betray his best friend, but asks if it’s any better to betray his own desires. Dimitri says the heat between them is undeniable and they can’t fight the pull much longer. Leo agrees and kisses Dimitri. Leo then stops and agrees to give himself to Dimitri if he promises to be gentle, because he won’t be. Leo then shoves Dimitri onto the bed and gets on top of him.

Brady finishes his call with the camp and tells Chloe about Rachel going missing from camp and he bets that she is with Kristen now.

Rachel complains to Kristen that camp was stupid and she wants to stay here with her. Kristen wishes she could but says there’s a lot going on with their family and it’s very complicated. Kristen reminds Rachel that Brady has full custody and he makes the decisions, so she needs to call him. Rachel thought they were fighting that. Kristen responds that she is but it’s very hard as she needs a lawyer and nobody wants to take her case. Rachel argues that there has to be some way they can be together as Kristen hugs her.

Chad goes to the Kiriakis Mansion and informs Maggie that he came to give her his decision. Maggie hopes he’s decided to come to work for her at Titan as she thinks they could do great things together. Chad agrees.

Alex shows up at the apartment that Stephanie is getting with Chad and reveals that he was hoping to move in.

Dimitri and Leo lay in bed after having sex. Leo jokes that Dimitri has a magic penis as they kiss until Leo stops and says this can’t go on like this when Gwen is his best friend. Dimitri asks if he’s saying they can’t see each other again. Leo says no to that but he has to cancel his proposal to Gwen. Leo adds that Gwen will be hurt but she would be more hurt being the wife of a gay man and he can help her through that. Dimitri asks how he’s going to help her when he’s involved with the man who had just turned his back on her. Leo says they can leave that part out. Dimitri reveals that Gwen already said yes to his proposal. Dimitri adds that he genuinely likes Gwen but it’s Leo that he wants. Leo questions him suggesting that he marries Gwen and keeps him as a side piece. Leo declares there is no way that is happening. Dimitri complains that he will lose a staggering amount of money if he’s not married by the time he turns 40 which is the end of the month. Leo says he’d hate to see him lose that money but this situation begs a question. Leo points out that the contract states that Dimitri has to be married by the time he’s 40, but it does not say he has to marry a female. Dimitri then asks if Leo is asking him to marry him.

Xander asks Gwen how she can be sure that Dimitri is being straight with her when she knows he’s a con man but Gwen says she doesn’t want to hear it and that’s none of his business. Xander says he just wants her to be happy, especially after how he hurt her. Gwen acknowledges that they hurt each other. Gwen knows she’s taking a chance but says she’s not naïve or stupid. Xander knows she can handle herself so he agrees to shut up now. Xander advises her to just be careful with Dimitri. Gwen appreciates his concern but says she doesn’t appreciate him fornicating all over the office so she suggests sanitizing it as she then exits.

Maggie tells Chad that they will work out all the details of his contract and she’s sure he will be pleased with the terms. Maggie excitedly hugs him and says she’s so happy about this. Chad informs her that he has a new job while he and Stephanie found an apartment together. Chad adds that it’s none of his business, but he was wondering if it would be uncomfortable for her and Victor with Alex living there while working for DiMera. Maggie reveals that he won’t have to worry about that because Alex just moved out.

Alex informs Stephanie that he decided it was uncomfortable and that he wanted his own place. Stephanie says it makes sense but apparently Salem has a hot rental market, noting that Brady was just there looking too but she and Chad had already decided to take it. Alex congratulates her then. Stephanie thanks him and informs him that Chad has decided to take Alex’s old job at Titan. Alex says good for him. Stephanie mentions that Chad is excited about it, but she hopes it doesn’t set them back since they have gotten to a really good place after everything they have been through. Stephanie doesn’t want things to change that as she really would like for them to be friends. Alex responds that he’d really like that too and decides he’s going to find himself a place to live. Alex says he’ll see her soon and exits.

Brady goes to the DiMera Mansion and asks Kristen where their daughter is.

Chad returns to Stephanie at the apartment and informs her that Maggie was thrilled that he accepted her offer. Stephanie says she is too as they kiss. Chad asks if the realtor came. Stephanie says not yet and then there’s a knock at the door but it’s Alex, who delivers their lease and keys to them and explains that the realtor asked him to drop them off on his way home. Chad argues that he doesn’t live anywhere near there. Alex then reveals that he just got a place directly across the hall from them.

Chloe returns to Xander at the Spectator office and asks how it went with Gwen. Xander says better than expected as Gwen was in an unusually good mood. Xander asks if Chloe is okay. Chloe explains that she ran in to Brady, who found out that Rachel went missing from camp. Xander says that’s terrible but Chloe notes that Brady has a pretty good idea of where she went.

Kristen pretends not to know what Brady is talking about when it comes to Rachel missing from camp. Brady tells her not to do these mind games and to just tell the truth for once. Brady asks if Kristen is hiding Rachel or not. Kristen swears that if Rachel was there, she would tell him. Rachel hides outside the door and then sneaks upstairs.

Gwen walks through the town square and calls Leo but it goes to voicemail. Gwen leaves a message that she was hoping he would pick up because she wanted to share the news with him in person, but she just couldn’t wait to share the wonderful news with her most trusted and loyal friend. Gwen then announces that she said yes to Dimitri and for the first time in her life, she might actually have a chance of real happiness…

Leo asks Dimitri what if he was asking him to marry him. Dimitri brings up his old world family and values. Dimitri wishes they were able to accept that but states that the contract does specify he must be married to a woman. Leo points out that Gwen does really like him and maybe even loves him. Dimitri promises to take care of Gwen in his own way, but Leo has to promise no one can know about this since it would only hurt Gwen. Leo talks about how many men he’s thrown himself at and they always turn out to be either too straight or too nice. Dimitri jokes that he’s neither. Leo asks him to promise this isn’t some sort of a trick. Dimitri swears that it’s not and then asks Leo to swear that no one will know about this. Dimitri says he hopes this happens again and again. Leo swears that it will be their little secret as they lay in bed together, while Rachel overhears from the hallway.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

So what do you think of this one? Well, I, um, it’s the best one we’ve seen. I agree, and it’s perfect for the kids. There’s a park right across the street. It’s close to the kids’ school. Each of them would have their own room, and we’d have enough space in our bedroom for a king-sized bed, our bedroom.

Mm-hmm. Yeah. I like the sound loud.

I think we should take it. Yeah. Mm-hmm.

Then welcome home.

Yes. Well, we we’re gonna need the answers by next week. Sure. Um, actually, let’s not discuss the details over the phone. Okay. You know, how sensitive these deals can be. Yes. Right. Okay. I’ll see you then. Bye. You going on a trip? No, I’m moving out. Oh,

there. Hello. Wow. Do I not even get a Chloe? My wee Bonnie Las. It’s wonderful to see you. Okay. That was a bad impression. I sorry, Lauren. Not in a very jolly mood today, I’m afraid. Oh no. Oh yes. How year to date revenues are down 30% and that’s taken into account the Saxon deal. You closed. No wonder you’re not in a jolly mood.

Well, maybe this will help. Well, how could that possibly not help a flying cactus and a cowboy hat? One of the big travel websites is doing a promotion for Southwest getaways, and I’ve sold them on a huge ad buy-in for our online edition. The ad agency gave me this to work on a printed version. When you say huge buy-in, oh, why don’t you see for yourself?

Boom. Oh, that is definitely substantial, and I’m. Very relieved and back to my jolly old self. Oh, I thought you might be, have I ever told you you are absolutely fantastic at your job? Is that the only thing I’m absolutely fantastic at? That’s definitely not the only thing.

Okay. Easy there, cowboy. Did you not have enough of me this morning before work? I cannot have enough of you.

Okay. Okay. Not here. Can’t here. Come on. Why not? I mean, we’ve done it in your bedroom. We’ve done it in my bedroom. We’ve done it in every conceivable place in our apartment. Variety is a spice of life. So why don’t we shake things off a that then do it in the office.

So you accepted Dimitri’s proposal. Mm-hmm. It looks like you and I are going from friends to family, auntie Kristen. Ah, yes. Uh, congratulations. I suppose my, you are thrilled, aren’t you? I know why, though. You are surprised at how fast this is all moving.

Are you sure you don’t have a problem with me using Gwen to get what I want? No, actually, I’m not surprised at all.

I’ve got you now. Z Yvonne Ner

Sarka. How are you doing in my room? What am I doing? I am about to expose you for the delicious swindler You are? Oh, no, no, no, no, no. The jig is up. D v L. You’re only marrying Gwen to get your hands on this money. That’s preposterous. Yeah, we’ll see about that. Where do you think you’re going to tell Gwen everything and there is nothing you can do to stop.

Thank you. I think there is.

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

Speaking of home bedrooms, we could go Chris, on this one. Oh, well we don’t have a bed. Well, that’s never stopped us before. Mm-hmm. True. Maybe we should sign the lease first. I’ll just text the realtor really quick.

So then, oh, hi. Hey, hey, hey. What’s up? Hey, Stephanie. I’m. I came to check this apartment out. I’m looking for a place for me and Rachel. Uh, too late. Sorry, Chad and I just decided to take it.

Xander, this is really not appropriate. We are at work. That’s right. And I’m your boss. You have to do what I say, which makes it even less appropriate. All right? Unless I say yes, and I say yes. It’s a definite. Definite, yeah. Mm-hmm.

So you’re not surprised that Dimitri and I got engaged so quickly? No. No. I am not, because I know how much you wanted to move on from Sander. This is not about Xander.

Dimitri, as corny as it sounds. Sort of swept me off my feet. Really? I’m sure he did. You see, my nephew can be very charming. Not to mention persuasive. I do hope your future mother-in-law’s imminent. Return to tasteful doesn’t put a damper on your impending nuptials. I wish you and Dimitri all the best.

Gwen. I really do. Thanks.

Ow. Ah, ow. Ow. Yourself. I think I just broke my hand on that cheekbone. And where were you smiling at? You were smiling at me. I was simply smiling back. I wasn’t smiling at you. I was smiling because I was right about you. I know what you’re up to. D V L. You think if you just kiss me and press that hard body of yours up against mine, that you can persuade me to indulge in the pleasures of your flesh in exchange for my silence.

You think if you get me into bed and satisfy every single one of my wanting desires, I won’t tell Gwen what you’re up to. So am I. Right.

That’s odd. Usually in by now.

Oh my God.

What the hell is going on here? We were just going over Chloe’s new Abbi. To me, it looks like you were just going over Chloe. Okay. You know what, I’m gonna go get some coffee. Does anyone want anything? Yes, please. I’d like you to get the hell out of here. Thanks. Oh, look for the first time you and I want the same thing except for me, obviously.

I’m so sorry that sounded so much funnier in my head. See you soon.

Sandier, your cactus is looking a bit pricker from the last time I saw it. I wanna have a doctor have a look at it. There’s nothing wrong for Mike. Cactus.

Sorry, you had to see that you’re not nearly as sorry as I am and not because I’m jealous. Mind you. No, not in the least. See, I don’t care if you are having sex with Chloe Lane or Lady Gargo, or Miss Bloody Piggy for that matter. You know why? Cause I’m quite busy myself, actually. Yes. Giving an amazing man the most amazing sex that a woman can give him.

So there

No. No sir. Despite whatever rumors you may have heard. To the contrary, I am not that easy, and now that I know for sure that you’re just marrying Gwen so you can cash in on your inheritance. She needs to know the truth.

Wish she doesn’t know can hurt her. Sorry, not interested.

Okay. Okay. Okay. Maybe I would be interested if you hadn’t just made my best friend an offer, a trove. And if you weren’t just some douchey straight guy trying to take advantage of my insatiable sexual appetite, Leo. What? I’m not, not what? Engaged to Glen. I’m not straight.

Well damn. Then I’m having a really hard time solidifying a place here. I just lost one to Xander and Chloe, and I’m gonna have to fire my real estate agent because I’m always coming in late to these listings. I don’t like it. Oh, well I could refer you to our, she’s really good. I would actually very much appreciate that.

Doesn’t, uh, enjoy your place, um, and enjoy your new job. Uh, I don’t have his new job. How’d you hear about it? Alex told me and Chad, he, uh, he wasn’t too happy about it.

Yeah. You’re moving out. Why? I’m just not that comfortable here anymore, auntie. I haven’t been sleeping well. Well, you have one in the nicest rooms in the West Wing. You’re welcome to choose another. I mean, if it’s the mattress, I’m sure Henderson can find one more to you. Liking. No, no, no. It’s not the mattress or the room that’s making me feel uncomfortable.

It’s you.

What do you mean? Megan escaped? Well, ej, why wouldn’t I be worried that satis had us tied up in the secret room for weeks? You know, I, I wouldn’t be surprised if she just takes us all out one by one. Oh my God. Okay. Okay. No, I, I appreciate the heads up. All right. You just watch your back.

Oh,

Megan, don’t you come near me. I’m warning you. I armed. I’m not Auntie Megan.

Honey, whoop. Oh my God. Oh, sweetheart.

We’re gonna need a lot of furniture, huh? Couch. Coffee table beds, dining table. It’s a lot of shopping. Oh. Oh, perfect. Our realtor’s coming over with keys and some paperwork we need to sign. She’s gonna be here in an hour. Okay, that gives me time to, uh, run over to Maggie’s and let her know my decision.

Good luck.

I’ll be back soon,

Shirley. Surely you can understand that I just don’t wanna live in the same house with the woman who fired me. You are the one. Who signed with Titan’s biggest competitor. You stole a client, a huge client away from me, auntie Mag. That is just not what happened. Mm, nope. I’m sorry. I get it. That is how you see the deal that I made with Yuri.

That’s not how I see it. That’s what you did. Well then we’re just gonna have to agree to disagree on that. But I’m sure there’s one thing that we can both agree on and that this living situation isn’t healthy for either of us. Did you at least say goodbye to your Uncle Victor? No. He was taking a nap. I didn’t wanna wake him.

I’ll see you around Auntie Alex. Hi. Whatever has happened between us, it doesn’t change the fact that we’re, we’re still family and we always will be. Yeah. Family.

So, uh, where are you gonna live? I will let you know when I find a place. I’ll see you around.

Hey. Hi. Got a button? This one. Oh, uh, I was running late this morning. Yeah, how are you? Ah, um, okay. I don’t say I’m a little frustrated. I’ve been trying to find a, find a place to live for Rachel and me. I just lost another one to Stephanie and Chad and I don’t know, I was hoping to find a place before Rachel came back from camp.

Well, I’m sorry, this is her camp. She probably wants more credit on her camp account or something. Hello? Yeah. What do you mean missing? When what? Well, where the hell could she have gone?

Oh my baby girl. I have missed you so much. Oh, mom, stop, honey. Sue, I, I’m just so happy to see you. Wait a minute, wait a minute. Wait a minute. What? What are you doing here? You’re supposed to be at camp. What do you care? You never even came to see me before I left. You never even said goodbye, honey. You know what that is?

Because mean old auntie Megan had me locked up in the basement. Wait for real? Yes, sweetheart. For real. Oh sweetie. There’s nothing else that could possibly have kept me from seeing you off. Oh God. Oh honey, I am so happy that you came to see me, but um, I’m gonna have to take you back to camp. No. No way

you, you’re seriously going to look me in the eye and tell me that you are queer with a straight face, a very straight face. That is what I’m telling you. Okay, so we have very quickly moved on from you thinking I have absolutely no scruples to you thinking I’m just playing stupid. Oh no. I don’t think you’re stupid Leo, but you want me to believe that you’re gay?

I am. But you’re sleeping with Gwen. You proposed to her? Yes. Only to get access to the money in the bomb. Was she cosol? And since, as we have established you are anything but stupid, you have known all along that I’ve had an ulterior motive. And now you know what that is.

We’re listen. I overheard Dimitri Van Loser bragging about proposing to you and I, I suppose I can even see why you might be attracted to him, even though we both know that blokes from Northwest and Europe are more your time. Oh, that is ridiculous. But even if he is an amusing distraction for you, Gwen, that insufferable man’s so full of himself, how can, how can he possibly have room in his heart left for you?

I mean, why would you even consider marrying such a narcissistic, pompous jerk? Excuse me. But Dimitri is none of those things. He’s actually very caring, generous, and loyal, wonderful person who happens to be head over heels in love with me as I am with him. And I’m not contemplating marrying him. I’ve said yes to Dimitri.

I am marrying him. And you know what? I cannot wait to be his wife there.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. It’s not the marrying Gwen, so you can get your grubby hands all over your family’s money thing. It’s the gay thing. I have excellent gay and from you. I haven’t gotten a single ping. I had a lifetime at practice not giving up pings. But it’s not just that you’re stripping. Gwen, you also had that flinging with Billy Reed.

I was playing Agent Reed as well to get my hands on the Almanian peacock. Yeah. Now you’re playing me to get up my. Subterranean peacock. No, it’s not like that. Then what is it like? And keep in mind I am neither stupid nor gullible, nor naive, nor a pushover, though the last one may be a little, which I hate, but I’m working on it.

Right? Well, that’s good for you. Look, um, I am imploring you to reveal neither my intentions nor my sexual orientation to anyone, and I’m willing to give myself to you as a means to that end. But you should also know that I don’t consider it any kind of sacrifice as I am very much looking forward to it, giving myself to you.

That is, well, strike me pink. Are you trying to tell me that you’re attracted to me? For someone who asks. We have established is not at all stupid. That sure took you a minute, Leo? Yes. Yes I am.

Gwen, are you sure this is a good idea? You just met this guy. You know the horrific things he’s done.

Okay. Sure. Yeah, I know he hasn’t led an exemplary life, but you know what he says that I bring out the best in him,

and you will know how I like bad boys. I’m no angel myself. Am I

what? What are you thinking? Just say it. I just can’t help but wonder if maybe this has less to do with you being in love with Dimitri and more to do with me getting together with Chloe. Oh God, look, there it is again. Usual, massive ego. No, no, it’s not. It’s not about that. And you know what? Even if it was so what?

You’ve moved on from me, haven’t you? I would very much like to move on from you, so I would actually say this is a very positive step in the right direction. Wouldn’t you share with us, Dimitri? Can you just stop please? Why can’t you just be happy for me? Zander. Jake cheated on me. Chad was in love with Abigail and you, you never really got over.

Sarah, did you? And now for the first time in my life, there is a man who wants to be with me and only me.

I wanna be with you, Leo Stark. Since when? Since the first time I laid eyes on you in Arizona. Oh, please. The way I remember it, you were totally into Billy Reed and totally annoyed by me all the time. And then I stole your emerald and you wanted to kill me. I never wanted to kill you. If anything, any antagonism that you felt for me was just my attempt to hide my desire for you.

But the truth of the matter is, Leo, I have always found you attractive. I think you are so interesting. You’re smart and witty. That definitely smile and that expressive eyes and that sassy little walk of yours. My walk. Mm-hmm. No one’s ever commented on my walk before or thought my eyes were expressive or thought that I was witty.

Funny, yes, but never witty, which is just a smarter version of funny, right. Well, you are all of the above and everything I just said that I liked about you, just the tip of the iceberg. But besides all that, and perhaps most importantly, Leo, I think you are so hot now. I understand that you don’t wanna betray your best friend, but really is it any better than betraying your own desires?

This hate between us, it is undeniable. This pole, it’s a gravity that neither of us can fight for much longer. I know I certainly can’t.

Okay. Okay, okay, okay, okay.

Okay. I will give myself to you, but you have to promise me one thing. Anything. You’ll be gentle. Oh, I’ll good. Because I won’t

Yeah, well, you, you do that. Okay. Thank you very much. God, wait, so Rachel’s missing. Yeah. She left camp. Yeah. Yeah. And unlike those incompetent counselors I have. Pretty good idea of where she went to see Kristen. Yeah. Odd are She’s with her mother right now. Mama Kim is so stupid. I wanna stay here with you.

Oh, honey, honey, honey, I wish you could, but there’s a lot going on with this family right now and it’s very, very complicated. And besides, you know that your daddy has full custody of you and he’s the one who gets to make the decisions. In fact, I need to call him right now. I thought we were fighting that he’s having custody.

I’m trying. It’s been very, very hard, Rachel. I need a lawyer to help me and. No one wants to take my case. There has to be somewhere that we can be together. Mama isn’t there, please.

Ah, Chad, what can I do for you? Well, um, I came to give you my decision. Oh, well. Oh, I hope you decided to come to work for me at Titan. I think we could do great things together.

I think so too.

Living room. Ivory white paper. White. White. Dove. Too many choices.

Hey Alex, what are you doing here? Well, I was hoping to move in.

It’s true. What is, you do have a magic penis. No, no. I, I thought I’d seen it all when you made it levitate with that thing you did at the end.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. No, no. Uh, this can’t go on. Not like this. Gwen is my best friend. So what are you saying? You mean we can’t see each other again? Oh, hell no. That is definitely not what I’m saying. But you cannot marry her. You have to walk back that proposal. And yes, she will be hurt, but she would be way more hurt being the wife of a gay man and I can walk her through that misery and help her.

And how are you going to help her when you’re involved with the man that’s just turned his back on her? Well, maybe we can leave that part out. My involvement with you, it doesn’t matter anyway, because she’s already said yes to my proposal. What. When, just earlier today we’re at Mother’s Bedside in the hospital and she hadn’t said yes yet, but then we had this strong connection, this, this bonding of sorts and so and so.

She said, yes. Damn Leo. I genuinely like Gwen, but it’s you that I want badly. So if we could, you know, have more times like this, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait, what are you suggesting that you marry Gwen and keep me as some sort of side piece? That is not happening. D v L? No way. No. How do you know what’s at stake here?

I will lose a staggering amount of money if I’m not married by the time I turn 40 and I turn 40 at the end of the month. Oh, right. Damn well, I would hate to see you lose all that money, but this situation we find ourselves and it does beg a major question. Mm-hmm. What’s that? Okay, so the Cota Soul says that you have to tie the knot before you turn the big 4.0 to inherit the V millions.

Mm-hmm. But does it say anything specifically? About tying knot with someone of the female persuasion.

Why Leo Starr? Are you asking me to marry him? I can’t be sure if it Dimitri guy is being straight with you. You know he’s a conman. I don’t want to hear it. Yeah, I just don’t think it’s in your interest such proposal right now. Your blood. Yeah, I just, I just want you to be happy, but. Especially after, you know how I hurt you

each other.

I know that I’m taking a chance here, but. I’m neither naive nor stupid, Sandra. I know that. I know. You can hand yourself up. I’ll shut up now. Well, that’s a relief. Just be careful with that guy. Yeah.

I appreciate your concern.

You know what I don’t appreciate though, is you fornicating all over the bloody office. So if you don’t mind, perhaps some sanitizing that desk over there and anywhere else where your bums may have rubbed against. Yes, ma’am.

Oh, we’ll work out all the details of your contract. Yeah. Um, should we be pleased with the terms? I’m, I’m, I’m sure I will be. Oh no. Oh, I’m so happy about this. Yes, I’m too, today has been, uh, uh, a day. I, uh, I have a new job. Stephanie and I, we found an apartment together. Oh, that’s wonderful. What great news.

Yeah. Um, yeah. Just one thing though, about what, um, Yeah, and it’s really none of my business, but I was just wondering if, um, if, if it’ll be at all uncomfortable for you and Victor with Alex living here, but working for Demaro. Well, you know, you don’t have to worry about that anymore. Alex just moved out.

Things just started to get really awkward, so I figured it was time to move out. Plus, I’m ready for my own place anyway. Makes sense. Yeah. But apparently Salem is a hot rental market. Brady was just here looking at this apartment too. But um, Chad and I had already decided to take it. Oh, well then I should say congratulations.

Thank you.

And speaking of awkward, I should probably tell you before you hear it from anyone else. Chad decided to take your old job at Titan. Ah, well good for him. Yeah, he’s excited about it.

I just, I hope this doesn’t set us back, you and me. I mean, why would it? Too bad. You and I have gotten to a really good place, even after everything we’ve. Been through and now with Chad at Titan and you at Demara. Not to mention the fact that he and I will be living together. I just, I don’t want things to change that I’d really want, I’d really like for us to be friends.

I’d really like that too, but for now, I’m gonna go find myself a place to live. See you soon.

No, I’d find you here. Where else would I be? Hm? What’s wrong, Brady? You know damn well. What’s wrong, Chris? Where’s our daughter?

Hey. Hey. Is Maggie thrilled that you accepted her options? She was thrilled. So was I. Me too. Congratulations. Yeah, it’s been a good day. Did um, did the realtor come by with the papers yet? Not yet. Perfect timing, but that’s her. Hey there kids. I have here the keys to your new place as well as the lease for you to sign.

How did you get, what are you talking about? Well, I got ’em from the realtor. She asked if I could drop ’em off on my way home. Yeah, but you don’t live anywhere near here? I do now. I got a place in the building directly across the hall from you guys. Hm.

Hey you. So how did it go with Gwen? That’s something you might expect. She was in an unusually good mood.

Are you okay Chloe? Yeah, I, I’m sorry. I’m just a little bit worried. Um, I ran into Brady when I went to get coffee and he said that Rachel went missing from her camp. She’s missing, that’s terrible. What’s going? Yeah. But he has a pretty good idea as to where she went.

Missing, but what are you talking about? Do they think she ran away? Are they looking for her? Oh, you, you didn’t, you didn’t know. Of course. I didn’t know. I mean, how would I, I mean, you’d never put me on their contact list. What the hell are you kidding? Kristen? Let’s, let’s just not do these mind games.

Let’s not do ’em right now. Okay. Do one who set her up at this camp? Mr. I have full custody, Kristen. Just tell the truth for once. This is for a change. Are you hiding her here or not? I swear to you, if Rachel were here, I would tell you

voicemail. Damn.

Hi, Matty, it’s me. I was really hoping you’d pick up. Um, I wanted to share with you the news in person, um, but I just couldn’t wait to share this wonderful news with my most trusted and loyal friend. Ready?

I said yes to Dimitri and call me crazy. But, um, for the first time in my life, I think I might actually have a chance of real happiness.

What if I was asking you to marry me? You are not gonna gimme grief, are you? For not getting down on bended knee, which would be redundant given what I just did. Uh, no. No. This has nothing to do with the informality of your proposal and everything to do with my old world family and its old world values.

I wish that they were open-minded enough to accept the marriage between any consenting adults, but alas, that is not the case. Now. The codicil is perfectly clear. I must be married to a woman. Oh, I guess I missed that part. Mm-hmm.

The thing is, Gwen really likes you. I think maybe she even loves you. Yes. But I promise you I will take care of Gwen in my own way. But you have to promise me that no one will know about this, especially her. It’ll.

What are you thinking?

Just that I have thrown myself at more men than a groupie at a month long music festival, and they always turn out to be either too straight, too nice. Well, now you know I’m neither there.

Promise me this isn’t just some kind of trick I swear in my family name. For whatever that’s worth. I swear that this is not a trick. Now you have to swear to me, Leo, that no one will know about us by what just happened, but I hope happens again, again and again. I swear on my honor. It’ll be our little secret.

Leo tells Kristen that there is no crime here. Kristen questions what he was doing forcing his way in to a drawer. Kristen brings up how Leo broke in to steal Abigail’s precious gems last year on the night that she was murdered. Leo argues that he had nothing to do with that and has paid the consequences from that. Leo states that he’s just in pursuit of the truth now.

Dimitri questions if Gwen means that she will really marry him. Gwen assures him. Dimitri says he’s delighted but surprised. Gwen knows she was hesitant at first but she changed her mind when Megan was shot. Dimitri questions her saying yes because of his mother. Gwen sits him down and explains that it was partly because of what Megan said when they visited her in the hospital and she talked about seizing opportunities with courage and not letting life pass by. Gwen says she saw how much Dimitri loves Megan and how scared he was to lose her. Gwen supposes she saw another side to him that is tender and vulnerable. Gwen says she realized he’s more than just a criminal mastermind who imprisoned Kate on a fishing boat or tried to blow up the world over the Alamainian Peacock. Gwen declares that Dimitri is a beautiful human.

EJ asks where the hell Megan is. Gabi explains that she came to see if Megan was behind the attempt on Stefan’s life because Li kept insisting that she was the mastermind, so she planned to confront Megan face to face.

Eric and Nicole say hi to one another. Eric says he just came to pay his respects to Abe as well. Eric calls it senseless and unfair that Abe is gone so soon. Eric asks how Nicole is and hopes all is well with the baby. Nicole confirms that she followed up with the doctor and she said everything seems fine. Eric says that’s great and he’s sure EJ thinks so too. Nicole reveals that EJ actually wasn’t there.

EJ tells Gabi that she was right as Marlena just hypnotized he and Kristen which led to a memory coming back of Megan admitting she planned to have Stefan killed. Gabi calls Megan a psychopath. EJ says he came to choke the truth out of Megan. Gabi says she came to do the same. EJ remarks that it appears Megan turned the tables on Gabi, but questions how the hell she managed that while recovering from a gunshot wound.

Shawn tells Belle that he’s thirsty and it’s just a beer. Belle repeats that he’s working. Shawn argues that he’s on his lunch break and he’s not drunk. Shawn asks if she thinks he has a drinking problem. Belle says she’s tried to give him space because she knows he’s in pain and suffering terribly about what happened with his dad. She gets he has a lot of guilt and regret and he’s trying to numb it with alcohol. Belle declares that she’s not going to enable this anymore and it has to stop.

Kristen questions Leo wanting to get the goods on Dimitri and asks if he has a crush on him. Leo says it’s suspicion and a desire to make sure Gwen does not get hurt. Kristen calls breaking and entering a hell of a way to get uninvited to their wedding. Kristen questions Leo thinking Dimitri isn’t sincere in his marriage proposal. Leo brings up how briefly Dimitri and Gwen have known each other. Leo reminds Kristen that she said this sounded vaguely familiar when he found her in the wine cellar. Leo asks if she has no memory of what Dimitri is up to. Kristen then thinks back to Dimitri telling her about using Gwen to get what he wants.

Dimitri tells Gwen that she has made him so happy. Dimitri says when he’s with her, he feels like the man he was meant to be. Dimitri promises that she will not regret this. Gwen hopes not and wants to publish their engagement announcement in the Spectator. Dimitri decides to make it official by getting down on one knee and putting the ring on her finger. Dimitri calls it a beautiful ring for his beautiful bride to be as they kiss.

Eric questions Nicole about EJ not going to her appointment with him. Nicole explains that EJ and Kristen went to see Marlena to see if she could help them remember why Megan held them in the secret room. Eric thinks EJ could’ve waited until after Nicole’s appointment considering the scare she had the other day. Nicole assures that EJ wanted to go, but she told him that it was more important that he recovers his memory to make Megan pay for what she’s done so that this never happens again. Eric apologizes as it’s none of his business and he was just concerned after the scare she had. Nicole thanks him but assures that EJ is also concerned about his unborn child and he loves her. Nicole adds that she loves EJ too.

Gabi explains that she showed up and Megan was lying in the bed, she had her right where she wanted and she was about to tell her the truth when Dr. Rolf grabbed her from behind. Gabi says they struggled but he got the better of her. Kate question what prompted Dr. Rolf to come back. Gabi reveals that he was apparently keeping tabs on EJ and Kristen and when he found out what happened, he showed up to whisk Megan away to safety. EJ asks if she has any idea where they went. Gabi says she doesn’t but that Dr. Rolf mentioned something about a submarine. EJ then rushes out of the room.

Eric tells Nicole that he shouldn’t question EJ’s devotion to her or the baby and says it’s just a knee jerk reaction after all those weeks that he left her alone. Nicole understands and apologizes for jumping down his throat. Eric says he can’t imagine the pain she’s going through now after everything with the baby and now Abe. Eric calls it so heartbreaking and he knows it has to be painful for her too. Nicole holds back tears and thanks him. Nicole cries that she still can’t believe Abe is gone and calls it so unfair as he was such a good man. Nicole adds that this only happened because Abe was looking out for Paulina and Chanel like he looked out for everyone he loved. Nicole calls Abe like a father to her and cries that she’s going to miss him. Eric hugs Nicole as she cries. EJ then shows up at the docks and sees them.

Gabi comments to Kate on EJ shooting out of the room like a rocket. Gabi hopes EJ finds Megan but figures she’s at the bottom of the sea by now. Gabi asks Kate to help her out of the handcuffs. Kate jokes that she doesn’t have a hacksaw. Gabi suggests Kate call the cops then because someone in the department will be interested in freeing the Commissioner’s sister. Gabi adds that after she’s done, Kate can tell her why she’s even here. Gabi questions if Kate has a dog in this fight.

Shawn mocks Belle’s concern and says he’s lost his appetite as he storms out of the Pub. Roman comes over and asks Belle what that was all about.

Leo thinks Kristen is remembering something. Kristen thinks back to Dimitri telling her about his plan. Kristen then admits that Leo may be on to something about Dimitri having an underlying agenda. Leo pleads with Kristen to spill the tea. Leo adds that it’s not about him but about Gwen and she deserves to know. Leo reminds Kristen that she and Gwen were cellmates in prison, so they must have had a special bond. Kristen points out that they were only cellmates for 24 hours. Leo argues that Kristen owes it to Gwen to tell him if she knows that Dimitri is going to break her heart.

Dimitri and Gwen kiss until Dimitri says he has to go tell Megan the wonderful news. Gwen doesn’t want him to go and thought maybe they could celebrate as they continue kissing onto the bed.

Belle tells Roman about Shawn’s drinking and struggling with what happened to Bo. Roman hoped Shawn would ease up on himself by now. Belle says that he’s not and she keeps telling him that there’s nothing he could’ve done. Roman says he said the same but Shawn doesn’t want to hear it. Belle hopes that he will stop blaming himself.

Kate tells Gabi that the cops are on their way. Gabi points out that Kate didn’t answer her question. Kate claims to have forgotten it and that she has to go. Gabi stops her and says she knows her well and that she’s hiding something which she’s guessing has to do with Megan. Gabi adds that if so, it’s very important that she knows. Gabi then asks how Kate is involved with Megan.

Nicole sees EJ and explains that she was just leaving flowers for Abe when she bumped in to Eric. EJ calls it a very moving tribute as Abe was very loved by many. Nicole asks what EJ is doing there and if he saw Marlena. EJ confirms that Marlena’s hypnosis was very effective and brought back the memories from the secret room. EJ adds that afterwards, he went to confront Megan only to find that she had escaped from the hospital. Nicole asks how. EJ says it appears that Dr. Rolf provided a helping hand. Eric asks if he has any idea where they could’ve gone. EJ responds that he thought it was here but apparently others had the same idea as when he got to Megan’s room, Gabi was in handcuffs thanks to Dr. Rolf but she mentioned that Dr. Rolf said something about a submarine which is why he came to the docks. EJ states that if Megan was there, it appears she is long gone.

Kate reminds Gabi that Megan tried to have her killed. Gabi asks if she came by to finish her off. Shawn enters the room and questions which one of them let Megan escape.

Kristen tells Leo that she and Gwen did bond in prison. Leo asks if Kristen will help her then. Kristen responds that she already has by getting Gwen pardoned along with her. Kristen remarks that if anything, Gwen is in debt to her. Leo reminds Kristen that she should be in debt to him for freeing her and EJ from the secret room. Kristen blows it off that she’ll just send him an edible arrangement. Leo complains about her treatment. Kristen responds that the DiMeras protect what is theirs and warns him to go before she does call the police. Leo agrees to go but warns that this is not the last she’s seen of him. Leo then goes to the front door, opens it and shuts it to make Kristen think that he left. Leo then sneaks upstairs behind her back.

Gwen and Dimitri lay in bed after having sex. Gwen thinks Megan will be quite pleased to know what kept her waiting but suggests leaving out the specifics of why they were delayed. Dimitri agrees to just keep it that they got held up celebrating. Dimitri tells Gwen that she is more enchanting every time he lays eyes on her. Dimitri says he can’t wait to make her his wife. Dimitri then asks why wait and suggests they could go to the courthouse now and be legally married by the afternoon. Gwen questions if he’s serious. Dimitri calls it striking while the iron is hot. Gwen admits she was hoping for something a bit more romantic. Dimitri asks what could be more romantic than them proclaiming their undying love for each other, just them. Gwen would rather do it on a tropical island. Gwen then admits she doesn’t know what she wants which is why she hoped for time to figure it out before they say “I do.” Gwen questions what the hurry is.

Shawn questions Gabi about Megan escaping in a submarine. Gabi admits that she doesn’t know but that Dr. Rolf mentioned having one. Shawn hopes he can still catch up with them and rushes out of the room. Kate remarks that if Shawn thinks he’s going to catch up to them, he’s an idiot.

EJ tells Nicole that the police are on their way but he doesn’t think it will do much good as Megan is gone by now. Nicole encourages that justice will catch up to her eventually. EJ asks Nicole how it went with the doctor. Nicole responds that she said the same thing that Tripp said, that the baby is perfectly healthy. EJ calls that brilliant news and mentions making arrangements to fly the specialist back in. Nicole repeats that the baby is fine. EJ says he has every faith in her physician but he wanted to bring the specialist back in to the fold because he hated missing the first appointment with her, especially since she gave her such excellent news. EJ declares that in the coming months, he wants to learn everything he can about what they need to do in preparation for bringing their baby in to this world and he wants to do that as a couple, together. EJ and Nicole kiss as Eric stands by, looking annoyed.

Dimitri tells Gwen that there is no rush but he’s been waiting for someone like her for his entire life, so he’s a little impatient. Gwen knows the feeling but points out that she’s never been married before, so she really wants to make it something special. Dimitri promises that it will be. Dimitri asks how the end of the month sounds. Dimitri points out that it would be just in time for his 40th birthday. Dimitri mentions that he promised himself that he would be married by the time he turned 40 and he hates breaking promises. Gwen asks why 40. Dimitri claims it just feels like a significant milestone and a time to become the man he’s meant to be, who is mature and settled and the man that Gwen deserves. Gwen agrees that they will celebrate his 40th birthday the night after their fabulous wedding as they kiss.

Leo sneaks in to Dimitri’s bedroom at the DiMera Mansion and begins to search the room. Leo then finds the packet of papers detailing the stipulations of Dimitri’s inheritance.

EJ and Nicole return home to the DiMera Mansion. EJ prays that the Salem police department step up to the plate this time and finds the submarine. Nicole is sure they are highly motivated after all the havoc that Megan has inflicted on everyone. Nicole brings up EJ showing up to the docks and seeing her hugging Eric. EJ says she doesn’t have to explain as she was visiting Abe’s memorial so it makes sense that she would seek comfort in a friend. Nicole assures that’s all it was and is grateful that EJ understands. EJ declares that they love each other and they are having a baby together so that’s all that matters. EJ promises that his priority from now on is her and him and their precious baby as they kiss.

Kate joins Roman and Belle at the Brady Pub. Kate calls it a rough morning and mentions being at the hospital as she went to go check on Harris Michaels to make sure he doesn’t cause more trouble. Kate notes that Megan escaped while she was there and that Shawn showed up as she was leaving so hopefully they find her.

Shawn goes to the docks and calls Hope to inform her that Megan is on the loose again. Shawn hates scaring her like this but wants to make sure she’s being extra careful so that her and Bo don’t get hurt more than they already have been. Shawn tells Hope that he loves her and to tell Bo the same and that he’s thinking about him every second of every day. Shawn adds that if anything changes, he will let her know as soon as possible. Shawn then hangs up and pulls out a bottle of alcohol to take a drink.

Gwen walks through the town square and runs in to Kristen. Gwen tells her that she heard about her ordeal in the DiMera secret room. Kristen says it’s nothing a bitter cappuccino won’t fix. Kristen adds that her memory is still a little fuzzy but other than that, no lasting damage hopefully. Kristen asks how Gwen is. Gwen responds that she’s engaged and shows her the ring.

Dimitri returns home to find Leo in his room. Dimitri asks what the hell he’s doing in his room. Leo responds that he’s about to expose him for the vicious swindler he is. Leo declares that he’s only marrying Gwen to get his hands on the inheritance money. Leo states that he’s going to tell Gwen everything and there’s nothing he can do to stop him. Dimitri responds that he thinks there is as he grabs Leo and kisses him.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

abe, my friend,

best friend of man, could ever have.

Humana been part of my life for such a long time.

Just knowing you were there,

comfort me

and you know exactly what to say to. Help me

get outta my own head.

I wonder if you ever knew what that meant to me and how I treasured of, I’m French.

We gave it our all. Buddy, we, we searched for you. I alone,

and then,

and then Steve and John. Me, you know, doing whatever I could to help. We, and we, we beat the bushes, we, we canvassed the whole damn town, including these docks. So I don’t understand, but I don’t damn well understand

going hell. Why in the hell we can never find you? Before, before

God part.

She So I,

you were such a special man. God was you special.

Pete and I, we’ll both miss you so much.

No.

Gabby, what are you doing in Megan’s room? What the hell are you doing In my sister’s bed?

So just to be clear, you. You just said yes. Yes. And just to be extra clear, yes. Demetri, I will marry you.

Well, Mr. Stock, I’m waiting. Would you mind telling me why you were robbing my ancestral home? Robbing. That is a strong word. Why would you think I was robbing? I. Oh, this isn’t the cork screw I was looking for. Silly me. Speaking of which I hear it’s like Tuscany down in that cell, an abundance of exceptional wines for every pallet.

You may wanna try the kitchen. Yeah. Um, there’s a corkscrew, I think, in the drawer, in the left hand side, right underneath the espresso machine. Will do. Thank you. Great. Leo, that was sarcasm. Oh, and here, I thought you were being gracious and hospitable. Look, I don’t know what you’re doing, but you’re gonna have plenty of time to talk with Salem’s Finest.

You see, I’m gonna call the police. I’m calling.

The judge called us into Tams right after he broke for lunch. Hey, hey, no worries. I uh, got us drinks. Oh good. I see it’s like 95 degrees outside

something the matter, you know, what’s the matter? Sean, you’re on duty. Do you think you should be drinking?

Like Sam through the hour class, so are lives,

oh, come on, Kristin, the police. There is no crime being committed here. I’m just a normal everyday guy. Who’s studying for his sommelier exam in October. Okay. You know, just stop the adorable little yarn before you even put a spin on it. What were you doing forcing your way into that drawer? I. Okay. I’m not studying to be a someone, but it is on my bucket list and I am something of a wine connoisseur.

Mm-hmm. And also a jewelry connoisseur as well. Yeah. I believe it was a little over a year ago when you broke in here and stole my sister-in-law, Abigail’s precious gems. And that was also the night she just happened to be murdered, which I had nothing to do with. And believe me, I have paid the consequences of my ill timed revenge kick witch along with smoking and snorting baby powder.

I’m totally off of now, I swear. So what pretail are you on now? I’m not on anything. I am merely in search of the truth, an honorable and noble pursuit. No. And what truth are you in pursuit of Mr. Stock? I’m trying to get the goods on D V L.

So you mean it, you’ll really marry me. Yes. Yes. I mean, how many languages would you like me to say? Hate in Portuguese or Cantonese, perhaps. No, no, no. English is fine. I’m just, I’m, I’m surprised, delighted, don’t get me wrong, but surprised. Yes. Well, I, I know I, I was hesitant at the beginning, but um,

I changed my mind, obviously when your mother was shot, so you said yes. Because of my mother,

come sit with me. Mm-hmm.

It was partly because of what your mother said when we went to go and visit her in the hospital. What she said about seizing opportunities with courage and not letting life pass you by.

But really it was you. I could see how much you love her and how scared you were to lose her,

and

it was more to it than that. I just suppose I saw another side to you, Dimitri’s side, that’s tender and. Vulnerable. One that doesn’t really get a lot of air time, if you will.

And I looked at you and I realized that you are. You are not just some criminal mastermind in more than that. You are not just some man who imprisoned Kate on that fishing boat. Or tried to blow up the whole bloody world with an almanian peacock.

You’re human. Dimitri,

a beautiful human at that.

What am I doing here? What? What do you think I’m doing here? Does it look like it’s by choice? Well, I mean, I wouldn’t think you and Stephan would choose Megan wrong for your kinky sex rom. Not funny. And where the hell is Megan? Well, that’s the burning question, unfortunately. See, I came here to see that.

Sick bitch was the one behind Harris’ attempt on Stephan’s life because Lee kept on insisting that she was the mastermind behind it all. So I figured the only way to know the truth is to come here and confront her face to face.

Hi. Hi.

I just thought I’d come down and pay my respects as well.

It’s just so senseless, unfair that he’s gone so soon.

How are you? Oh, well, with the baby, I hope. Yeah, I, uh, I had a follow up appointment with the doctor and she said that everything seems fine. That’s great. I’m sure HJ thinks so too.

Actually he wasn’t there.

Gabby, you were right about me. My just hypnotized me. Long story short, a memory surface of my sister admitting that she was gonna have Stephan killed. Oh my God. That’s psychopath. Mm. I came here to choke the truth out of her. Oh, I came up here to do the same. And it appears she turned the tables on you, but considering she’s recovering from a gunshot wound, how the hell does she manage that?

It’s like you said, it’s 90 something degrees out. I mean, I can’t help it if I’m thirsty Bell. It’s just, it’s a beer. That’s it. John, you’re working and I’m on my lunch break. All right. I’m not drunk.

What? What? Go ahead. Go ahead and tell me what you’re thinking. You know what I’m thinking, what That I, that I have a drinking problem. But then I need to go to aa. Maybe I need to get a sponsor. I need to make amends to the, to the kid whose m and ms I stole in the second grade. Is that just to get him close there?

Huh? Okay. You know, Shawn, I have tried to give you space because I know that you’re in pain. I know that you’re, you’re suffering terribly about what happened with your dad, and I get it. I get that you feel a lot of guilt and regret, and you’re trying to numb that with alcohol. But I am not gonna enable this anymore.

This has to stop. D V L. What the hell is that? Uh, your nephew, Dimitri von Leischner. Does that ring a bell? Well, why the hell would you wanna get the goods on him? Oh my God. Are you hing a schoolboy crush? Perhaps? No. I’m not harboring anything but suspicion and a desire to make sure that my friend Gwen, whom he’s weirdly determined to marry, does not get hurt.

Well, that is a hell of a way to get yourself uninvited from the wedding. Mr. Breaking and entering. Well, maybe you could get a job on the catering staff. Hmm. Well, since I was summarily dismissed from my last catering job, after the hostess caught me eating artichoke cini and her heart-shaped jacuzzi, highly unlikely.

Let’s just get back to the topic at hand, shall we? It is rather presumptuous of you to think that my nephew ISN insincere in his marriage proposal. Oh, please. I have seen videos of kittens riding on robot vacuums that have gone on longer than those two know each other. Don’t you remember any of this? I told you about it when I found you and EJ in the secret room and you said it sounded vaguely familiar.

Are you telling me you have no idea why Dimitri is so eager to get Gwen to say I do? Even if that means deceiving a woman who is apparently a good friend of yours. Are you sure you don’t have a problem with me using Gwen to get what I want?

Oh, Gwen, you just make me so happy whenever I’m with you. I, I always feel like the man that I always was meant to be. You’re the only one that can bring who’s ever brought that out in me, and I promise you. You will not regret this. I bloody hope not. At least not before I publish the engagement announcement in this spectator.

Well, speaking of shall we make it official?

Oh boy.

So beautiful, Dimitri. It’s beautiful.

My beautiful ring for my beautiful bride to be.

Hey, Jay, didn’t go to your appointment with you. Well, he and Kristen went to see your mother to see if she could help them, remember why Megan pulled them into that secret room. But don’t you think EJ could have waited till after you’ve gone to your doctor’s appointment? I mean, considering the scare you had the other day?

He wanted to go to my appointment, but I told him it was more important that he recovered his memory, if that’s even possible, to make his lunatic sister pay for what she’s done. So this never happens again. I’m sorry. Completely none of my business. I was just concerned about you after the scare you had.

Thank you, Eric. But EJ is also concerned about his unborn child and he loves this baby and he loves me

and I love him.

Well, I showed up here and there she was, Megan Demara lying in this bed, helpless, like a little turtle on its back. I had her right where I wanted. She was about to tell me the truth that she si Harris on Stephan. And then somebody grabbed me from behind. Who? Dr. Rolfe. Rolfe. He was the one who did this to you?

Yeah. He surprised me, but I could have taken that bastard easy. So he struggled a little bit and then he managed to get the better of me. So you are saying this isn’t one of those, you should see the other guy type of thing? Unfortunately not. Okay. But wait, what prompted Dr. Rolfe to come back? Apparently he was keeping tabs on EJ and Kristen and when he found out that they had recovered their memories, he showed up here to whisk Megan away to safety.

Bitch didn’t even leave me or applesauce. Do you have any idea where they went? No, I don’t know, but Rolfe mentioned something about a submarine.

I shouldn’t question AJ’s devotion to you or the baby. It’s just. You need your reaction after all those weeks that he left you alone.

I understand. And I, I’m sorry too. I I didn’t mean to jump down your throat. No, you don’t have to be,

can’t imagine the pain you’re going through right now after everything that’s happened with the baby and no. It’s just, it’s just so heartbreaking.

I know this has gotta be painful for you too.

Thank you.

It’s just, I still can’t believe he’s gone. I. And it’s so unfair. He was such a good man, and the only reason this happened was because he was looking out for Paulina and Chanel. I mean, he looked out for everybody that he loved and he always looked out for me, that’s for sure. Like your father. And now I just.

I know. I’ll miss him. I’ll miss him.

Well, EJ shot outta here like a rocket. As much as I wanted to catch Megan. I’m sure she’s at the bottom of the C bite now. No, I used to, I used to date a submariner. I remember him talking about one of the cooks made it to die for her lobster. This, oh, fascinating. You know what, instead of blathering on about C, why don’t you help me outta these cuffs?

Oh, oh, oh, of course. That’s right. Oh, wait a minute. I forgot my trustee. Hacksaw. Yeah. Wasn’t thinking so. Call the cops. Cops. Yeah. Who else? I mean some. I’m sure somebody in the department will take an interest in freeing the commissioner’s sister.

Uh huh. What is that number? You know the number. And as soon as you’re done, why don’t you tell me why you’re even here. Got a dog in this fight, Kate.

You know, I’m fine. Fine. You’re the boss, Sean. You know what? Actually, why don’t I skip lunch too? Hmm. I mean, who needs to eat anyway? Right? And you know what? While I’m at it, why don’t I just go turn in my badge and join a monastery like son, stop. What are you doing? I lost my appetite, bill. And you know what?

And since you’re so tired of finding empty bottles, There you go. I left you a full one.

What was that all about?

You’re remembering something, aren’t you? That is the face of someone remembering something.

In any case, when I do convince Gwen to marry me, it’ll be for richer and not for poorer. You, uh, may be onto something about Dimitri having an underlying agenda. Oh my God, Kristen Deira. If you remember your Prodigal nephew’s real reason for wanting to marry Gwen, then in the name of all that is holy spill the tea.

Please look, like I said before, this is not about me. This is about my best friend she deserves to know, and, and you care about Gwen, right? The two of you were cellmates at Statesville. And I’ve seen the Shawshank Redemption twice. Well, it caught bits and pieces enough to know that the two of you must have had a special bond.

We were cellmates for all of 24 hours. Not sure how much special bonding we achieved. Yeah, Kristen, look, if you know that Dimitri is going to break Gwen’s heart into a million little pieces, You owe it to her to tell me,

I hate to do this, but what? I should go right now. I need to tell my mother. I need to tell her the the wonderful news. Wait, can’t we just. Mm. I don’t know. Can’t we just like track down a, a carrier pigeon or something to give her the message? God. Okay. Right. Yes. Fine. That’s your mother. Something wrong. No, it, it’s just, I don’t know.

I just. Ah, I just thought maybe just, maybe we could, um,

So he’s hitting a bottle hard, huh? Yeah. He’s still struggling with what happened with Beau. Damn. I was hoping he, he’s up on himself on there. Yeah. Well, he’s not, I keep telling him there’s nothing he could have done differently, know that he was just forced to make a terrible choice. I told him that. Told him the same damn thing, but doesn’t say more than I hear.

Yeah, but that’s the thing is he knows nobody blames him. He just can’t stop blaming himself. Okay. The police are on their way. Yeah. I guess we’ll just listen to the sirens. Hmm. Hopefully they get here before I start to chafe. Oh, do you want me to call them? Tell them to stop for some hour along the way?

No, actually, I’d like for you to answer the question that I asked earlier. That’s so funny. I don’t remember a question. Anyway, I have to get going. So stop right there. Okay. See, I know you, I know you very well and I know when you’re hiding something, and I’m guessing it has to do with Megan, and if that’s true, it’s very important that I know.

So tell me. How are you involved with her?

Oh, each, uh,

I was just leaving flowers for Aen. I pumped into Eric. Uh, It looks like a very moving tribute. He was obviously loved by many. But what, what are you doing here? Did you get a chance to see Marlena? I did. Yes. Yes, I did. Uh, your mother’s hypnosis proved quite effective memories of what occurred, and that secret room came flooding back.

And once they did, I took it upon myself to confront Megan Mano, or Mano only to find and much to my displeasure that she’s absconded from the hospital. What, how it appears Wilhelm Rolfe provided a helping hand. Do you have any idea where they could have gone well here? Oh, so I thought apparently Elvis had the same idea that I had because when I arrived at the hospital, I found Gabby Hernandez trust up in Megan’s handcuffs, courtesy of.

Dr. Rolfe, but Gabby did say before Megan was spirited away, that Rolfe mentioned something about a, a submarine, which is why I came down to the docks. But if my sister was here, um, it appears she’s long gone.

How am I involved with Megan? Oh, let’s see. That’s right. She’s the one who tried to have me killed. So you came by to what? Finish her off. No, that sleeping with the fishes isn’t exactly what the monster deserves.

So tell me, which one of you idiots let Megan Hathaway escape

you? You’re right When, and I did bond when we were at Statesville. I taught her everything she needs to know about Texas. Hold. Great. Great. So then you’ll help her. I already have, as I informed my nephew when I got the pardon from the governor, I got one for Gwen as well. So if anything Miss Riz check.

Well, she’s in debt to me. Uh ooh. If we’re talking about debts, then you, Sirina, Deira are in Deto. Tomio. Am I. And how’s that? Well, if I hadn’t been Johnny on the spot and shown up when I did, you and EJ would still be tied up in the secret room. Well then I’ll just make sure to send you one of those edible arrangements.

So that’s it. You de mirrors just close ranks and screw everybody else. We de mirrors protect what’s ours speaking of, are you gonna shove off? What do I actually have to call the police?

Fine, I’ll go. But word of warning. This is not the last you have seen of Mr. Leo Stark. A K a Maddie Cooper. But do not ever call me that. Only when he gets to.

You know, it might not be the, um, most appropriate time to bring up. Mothers. But, um, I think yours would be quite pleased to know what kept her waiting, but perhaps just, um, leave out the specifics of why we were delayed. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. I think so. Definitely not. No, I would say we just keep it to, we got held up celebrating.

I know how it’s possible, but somehow you are more enchanting every single time. I,

I can’t wait to,

and why should we wait? We can go to the courthouse right now. We could be legally married by this afternoon. Before they even throw out the first pitch, the Cubs came.

Are you serious? You get married today? Yeah. With the heading of strike while the iron’s hot. Mm. I’m not really sure that that applies to its marriage. Um, and I, I’ll admit, I what

I. Hoping for something just a wee bit more romantic, huh? Well, what could be more romantic than the two of us proclaiming our undying love for each other? Just you and me.

Just you? Me? Mm-hmm. And the county clerk. I mean, it’s not exactly eloping to some nice tropical island. Is it saying our vows under the cover of darkness? I think it’d be nice to have a swaying palm tree close by, perhaps some dolphins doing some sorts in the background. So you want to get married in the screensaver.

Are you suggesting that I’m shallow? Mr. Vaughn Ner? Never. No. I was just teasing because that’s the last thing you are, that’s kind of you.

Honestly, I don’t, I don’t even know what I want, which is why I was hoping for the time to figure it out before we say I do. Really? What’s the hurry darling?

Damn, some young entrepreneurs should, uh, disrupt the handcuff industry. Find something a little smoother on the wrist. Okay, so lemme get this straight here. So, okay, so, so Megan escaped in a submarine. Yeah. I mean, I, I don’t know, obviously, but the Rolf mentioned he had one. Yeah. Well, did he mention, was it yellow?

Was Ringo star waiting to board? Uh, how long ago did they leave? I don’t know, an hour, give or take. Okay, good, good. Maybe there’s a chance I can still catch up with him.

Okay. So if he thinks he’s going to catch up with Megan and Rolf, he’s the one that’s an idiot. Well, the police are on their way and not that it will do much good. I assume Megan is halfway to Bermuda by now. Okay. Listen, I know it’s gonna take time. But justice will catch up to her eventually. One can help.

So, um, how did it go with the doctor? Well, she said the same thing that Tripp said in the er, that the baby is perfectly healthy. Thank God that is, that is brilliant news. Mm-hmm. Oh, that reminds me, I, uh, made arrangements with that, uh, specialist, the perinatologist. I’m flying her back in. I think she’d rather appreciated the first class ticket.

Oh, ej. But I, I told you the baby’s fine. So there’s no needs. I have every faith in your physician. I just, I just wanted to bring Dr. Laurenson back into the fold because I hated that I missed the first appointment with her. Especially since she gave you such excellent news about the baby and over the coming months.

I want to learn everything I can about what we need to do in preparation for bringing our baby into this world, and I want to do that as a couple together.

You’re absolutely right. Of course there’s no rush. It’s just that I’ve been waiting for someone like you my entire life, and I’m a little bit impatient, obviously.

Yes, I know the feeling. It’s just that, um, after one rather disastrous attempt. I’ve never been married before, and so I really, I really wanna make it something special.

I promise you, Glen, it will be. So how does the end of the month sound? It is enough time for you to gather a few girlfriends for a bridal shower in the next couple of weeks and have to make some phone calls, but if it all works out, I think I might have a fabulous destination in mind at the end of this month.

Oh, yeah, isn’t time for my birthday? My, uh, my 40th actually. Oh yes. Um, how’s that relevant? Well, now it’s gonna sound a bit silly, but, um, well, I made a promise to myself a while back that, that I would be married by the time I turned 40, and I hate breaking promises, especially to myself, but my 40, oh, um, well, it just feels like a significant milestone.

Uh, it’s a time where I should finally become the man. I’m meant to be a man who is mature and um, A man who was settled,

a man that you deserve, Gwen,

right then we shall celebrate my husband’s 40th birthday. Right after our very fabulous wedding.

Okay, Dimitri, you gorgeous little international fugitive. Surely you’ve left some breadcrumbs for lady whistleblower, something that will explain why you are so eager to get hitched

Dema. You sweet smelling. Son of a bitch.

Oh no, Leo, focus. You’re here for Gwen. Remember

nothing. Nothing. I feel like Geraldo and Al Capone’s Vault. Hi, Leo. You’re dating yourself.

Oh, I pray that the Salem PD steps up to the plate this time and finds that damn submarine. Well, considering all the havoc that Megan’s inflicted on everyone, I’m sure they’re highly motivated.

Listen, I, I just wanna say that. When you showed up on the docks and saw me hugging Eric, you, you don’t have to explain. Well, I, I feel like I, DOJ you were visiting Abe’s Memorial. It makes sense that you would see comfort in your friend, and that’s all it was. I, I’m really grateful that you understand.

Nicole, we love each other. We’re having a baby together. That’s all that matters to me, and I promise you this,

my priority from now on is you and me and a precious little baby.

Hey, you’re site for Surah. Wow. Hey, tough morning. Hey. Uh, yeah, it was kind of where you in? Uh, the hospital. Oh, the hospital? Yes. I wanted to go by and check up on Command Harris, make sure he doesn’t get into any anymore trouble, you know? You know what though? Macon escaped while I was there. What? Yeah. What did police say?

Well, yes, Shawn, Shawn showed up right when I was leaving. He’s on the case, you know, so hopefully they find her.

Hey mom, it’s me, Shawn. Uh, listen, um, I hate pulling you away from dad like this, but, uh, there’s something that you need to know, but Megan, she’s on the loose again. Look, I like, I hate scaring you like this, but I just need to make sure that you’re being extra careful. All right. The last thing I want is for you and dad to get hurt any worse than you already have been.

Yeah, of course, of course. I love you too. And, um, tell dad, tell dad that I love him and that I’m thinking about him. I’m thinking about him every second of every day and not that, not that he can hear you. Yeah, no. Of co Yeah, of course. I may. Yeah. You know what? Maybe he can, I, I, yeah, I hope so. Listen, so I, if anything changes, I will let you know as soon as possible.

Okay. All right, bye.

Hello? Hello, Kristen, I heard about your ordeal in the Dema Secret Room. Uh, well, nothing a, uh, bitter tasting cappuccino won’t fix. Well, I’m glad to see you are None the worst for wear. Mm. Well, my memory’s still a little fuzzy and, uh, few unsettling dreams, but, uh, other than that, no lasting damage, hopefully.

Oh, how are you? I’m engaged.

I’ve got you now. Z Yvonne Leischner.

Star, how are you doing in my room? What am I doing? I’m about to expose you for the malicious swindler You are? No, no, no. Dvl. The jig is up. You’re only marrying Gwen to get your hands on this money. That’s preposterous. Oh yeah. We’ll see about that. Where do you think you’re going to tell Gwen everything And there’s nothing you can do to stop me?

No, I think there is.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Two, one. How about you? In here, you’re giving the police a hard time refusing to answer any of their questions. I believe that’s my right. You think Stonewalling is gonna help you? You’re hired gun told a room full of people that you ordered him to kill Stephan. Sorry, Lee. Another epic fail. I can’t believe you did this.

Cooked up some scheme to murder the man that I love, so that I would be available again. You know, you might as well confess you pathetic freak because you and your homicidal henchmen are going down. So it’s true. I heard that you hear under observation. I guess I had to see it for myself. So what happened?

Asked the morons who brought me in. No, I know. I’m asking you because the last time we saw each other, you told me that you were going after Megan. You were gonna take her out of commission. And I thought it went according to plan because then I get a text from you saying mission accomplished. And then the next thing I find out, Megan is hosting a party at the bistro.

And you crashed that party in a big wave and, and you didn’t grab Megan. You tried to kill Stephan Damira because Lee Hin told you to. I mean, the whole thing makes zero sense. Makes perfect sense to me. Okay. Will, if that’s true, you’re in absolutely the right place because you need your head examined by an expert.

Hold on just a minute. I’m coming. Hold on.

Elena, listen, you listen to me. I assume you’re here to see Rachel. Well, she left for camp a week ago. And you never even said goodbye. I know, I know. I, I, I was held captive by my deranged sister, Megan. Yes. Isn’t she in the hospital? Kristen, I told you to wait until I popped. Everything she’s saying is true.

I was held prisoner too. I see. And why would Megan do such a thing? That’s an excellent question, and we need your help to answer it.

Matt, what are doing here? I came to see you. If there was any word on your, please don’t let her become your mother-in-law. No. Demetri’s in with Megan now. She still hasn’t regained consciousness since her surgery, but thank you for making this crisis all about whether or not I’ve accepted his proposal.

Have you accepted his proposal? The subject hasn’t come up. God, would you look around please? Cuz we’re in a bloody hospital here. It’s been two days since Megan was shot. Dimitri doesn’t even know if she’s going to live or die, so just have some respect. The man’s completely falling apart and my heart is breaking for him.

Gny, that is so sad. Yes. Thank you. Finally. No honey, you are sad. I cannot believe you’re falling for this poor little rich boy act.

Oh, thank God you’re awake.

Where am I? You’re in the hospital. You had emergency surgery two days ago. What? Why? What happened? Mother, you were shot, Sharon. Yes. At the engagement party, you don’t remember, do you? Harris Michael showed up. He was armed. He said that Le, in order to kill Stephan, right before he pulled the trigger, Gabby rushed him.

There was a struggle for the gun and, and I got hit. Yeah. Oh, what is this? Why am I handcuffed? If I’m the victim here? Why am I handcuffed?

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

You are insane. If you think I’d hire someone to murder Stephan, right, because you haven’t tried to off him before. How do you know Harris Michaels? I don’t. Well, he said he was acting on your orders. That makes no sense. It makes perfect sense, especially if you brainwashed him the way you did me. And he’s on a cycle hold because the cops think that someone namely you messed with his head.

So you say you don’t know Michael’s, but you do know Dr. Rolf very well. Oh, and messing with people’s heads is his specialty. So you could have gotten that nutcase to help you for the last time. I’m innocent if that’s true. Give us one good reason why Harris Michaels were barged into our party point a gun at Stephan and say that you get the order to kill him.

I don’t know why this is so hard for you to understand. I take my orders from Lee Shin, not you. He wanted Stephan Demara out of the way so he could have a clear path to Gabby Hernandez. Okay? Look, two days ago we had a conversation at the pub, right? You told me you had put a tracking device on Megan’s car, then you got an alert and you went off after her.

Right. But now, now you’re asking me to believe that Lee Shin crossed your path and, and redirected you to another target, because I, I’m not believing that. If it makes you feel any better, Megan Hathaway got hers anyway. Oh God. Okay. God, I know, I know. She took a stray bullet at the bistro, but the point is you still haven’t answered my case.

Yeah, I’m done. I’m done talking. So either you can get lost or go get somebody to cut me loose so I can finish my real mission.

Why am I shackled to the bed? Is this some kind of a sick joke? No. I hate to one tell you this. You’ve been arrested. Arrested. What for

you really? Dunno. Well, if I did, I wouldn’t be asking you. Dimitri, would you please tell me? Tell me what I have been accused of, of kidnapping After you were shot on, Kristen and Uncle EJ told the cops that you were holding them hostage in the basement of the mansion. Well, you must really be joking now. I wish I were.

That is not true, Dimitri.

That is the most absurd thing I have ever heard in my whole life. I’m unclear why you think I would help you with anything. We know that you would be reluctant, not just because of Kristen, but obviously I’m not your favorite person, but I’d need to, but, but we have. We have come to you with all due respect and humility because you are the only person who can provide the kind of help that we need.

Oh, what does that mean? Megan was arrested for kidnapping, Kristen and me. And unless we can tell the police exactly what happened and why they’re gonna let her go, well then why don’t you go to the police and tell them because we don’t remember. Mm. If you are trying to rope me into some demure family hygiene, no, no, no, no, no, no.

We’re not, we’re not. Megan injected us with a drug to raise our memories, and that’s where your expertise comes in. We need you to bring them back and, and frankly, after everything she’s done to you, I, I think you’d leave at the chance to put her away. Even if that means helping me,

what’s this? You are working for Father Christmas. Now. Why do you have a pillow case? It’s a change of clothes, which obviously you don’t need since you’ve already changed. Thank you. That was very thoughtful here in case you need to change again. I mean, you do seem to be living here now, Marty. I am not living here.

I am going to go home and I’m going to sleep. And so even though that was very thoughtful of you, I’m not gonna be needing a change of clothes. Not now. Fine. I’ll take it back.

Could you stop looking at me? So Disapprovingly, I am merely supporting Dimitri whose, whose mother, as I’m sure you know, may not pull through. He’s having a very rough time, obviously. Well, it’s not him. I feel sorry for right now. What’s that supposed to mean? It means to hell with his rough time. I’m worried about you, Gwenie.

Oh my God. Here we go again. Yes. Here we go again. And it will be again and again and again until you see the light. Oh, mm yes. Well, according to you, the light actually is very much the opposite, meaning very cynical and mistrusting. So therefore seeing the dark side of the moon, because in this case there is a dark side to the damn moon.

And my bff, former fellow cynic, pessimist, and misanthrope has suddenly gone all Pollyanna and Schal tearing over a dangerous predator. I can’t listen to this anymore. Corny. Corny. I’m only saying this because I love you. You know I do. And the count of Monty Lango does not. You need to wake up. You have fallen victim to a man who’s upsettingly handsome face and impossibly toned physique has caused you to throw logic out the window so he can suck you in.

Now, normally I am all for sucking, but not in this case, not under these circumstances, not when that conman is trying to lure you further into his web with his crocodile tears of his bullet ridden Mummy, you know what? You couldn’t be more wrong about Dimitri, that man. Is in so much pain. Oh, he hasn’t eaten.

Oh, he hasn’t slept. His pain is very real. Oh really? And that means his feelings for you are real. I know. They are. And whether you like it or not, that man is absolutely beside himself with worry over Megan. Of course he is. He needs that crazy bitch to survive so she can help him with whatever he has planned for you.

So you’re saying that there is absolutely nothing to Aunt Kristen and uncle e J’s claims. Of course not. Whatever they told the police, it’s a complete fabrication. Is it? Because the two of them disappeared rather suddenly. A few weeks ago, they didn’t disappear. Kristen went to New York to find a custody lawyer and Egypt probably just wanted to escape that insufferable girlfriend of his.

And yet they’re claiming that you had them tied up in the wine cellar. Now why, why would they lie about that mother? Because that’s what they do. Why? Who they you mean? Because, because they’re des, because they’re not true Des, like you and I, they’re pnu interlopers and they will do anything, say anything that they can to blacken my name, to drag me down.

What are you thinking? Say it, their story. It just, it makes me think of a couple of things. What things? Well, for one, the night of the party, I saw you heading into the tunnels to get a bottle of champagne, as I recall. Surely that’s not a crime now. No. No, of course not. But then there’s the other time that I came in and found you standing in front of the secret panel and you were holding a tray and it looked to have enough food to feed two people.

And yet there you were all by yourself. Dimitri, do you have any idea how much this hurts me that my own son. Can think that I would do anything so malevolent that I would be so cruel to my own siblings. To what? End

again? Silence. That’s just it. I don’t know. To what end? Oh, I have no theory as to why you would do this.

Because there is none. It defies all logic. So what do EJ and Kristen say that my motives were for kidnapping them and tying them up? They don’t know. Or rather they don’t know anymore because they’re claiming that you injected them with something to make them forget. Demetri, I’m getting the distinct impression that you believe them.

Look at me.

If you turn against me, Demetri, it will break my heart. Is that what you want to do? Of course not. And you.

Where your loyalties lie.

Say it right now. Tell me that you believe me. That you trust me. Tell me. That you will never betray me.

So Megan wiped out your memories for the most part. We do know that she had us locked up in the tunnels and that she drugged us. She may be our sister, but I can say without hesitation that she needs to be behind bars. Remember how badly John suffered when he thought that you had died? Well, Megan can inflict that pain all over again on your friends, on your family, on everyone in Salem, for all we know.

But the problem is we don’t know. We don’t remember. We have no idea what Megan’s plans are or more important who is in a crosshairs. And for the question, Lee, Why would Harris say you ordered him to kill Stephan? If that’s not true,

I just wanna make certain none of this will be traced back to us. Stop worried. Lee, commander Michaels is firmly back on my team, so he’ll take Stephan out at the party tonight and then you’ll be free to move on with Gabby and we’ll both get what we want. You two are so quick to blame me. You’re completely overlooking the person who’s actually guilty.

And who was that? Megan Hathaway. Oh, come on it. It couldn’t be more obvious. She used Ralph to brainwash Michael’s once, and now she’s done it again.

Megan, Megan would make sense if she somehow, somehow flipped the tables on you. I mean, I don’t know why she would wanna kill her brother. I don’t have any idea about that. But somehow I think she is up to her eyeballs on all of this. You’re wrong. Just go away.

No, I’m gonna do better than that. I’m gonna help you. Okay? I, I know you want my help. And, um, I’m gonna help you get back to your right mind. There’s nothing wrong with my mind, and yet here you are shackled to this bed after attempting an assassination. Paris. Okay? This isn’t you. This isn’t, you says stop.

Okay. No, listen to me. I know. I know. That the last time you were de programmed, it wasn’t a pleasant thing. Okay, so we don’t have to call in isa. Marlena can do this. She can do it here. She helps. No. Oh, I Let me call. No, look, you came to Salem to stop Megan Hathaway from ever hurting anyone ever again. But what she’s done is hurt you.

She has stripped you of your humanity so that she could use you to do her dirty work. You can’t let her do that. You can’t let her do that Again, you have to, you have to find. Your real self, your true self. Harris is your good man. Your decent man.

You are a hero. You saved my life. Okay? I wanna help you. I wanna help you, but I can only help you. If you give me your consent, will you do that?

Why would I consent to letting a shrink mess with my head? I answered, Alicia, I don’t need to be programmed to do what he wants. Of course you do. Anyone who can suddenly be okay with committing murder, that means that you were turned by someone who only thinks of you as a tool. And to me, that screams Megan Hathaway.

Are you finished?

You can’t let her do this to you again. I know that you want my help. I just really hope to God that you accept it because if you don’t, you will forever be a pawn for making sick.

Why would Megan want stuff? And Dad, he’s her brother. He’s also co c e o of Demara. So what, so you have what she wants, what All demaris want more power, money control. A bigger piece of the proverbial pie. And if Stephan were to meet his untimely demise, no, no, no, no. She may want the company, but she’s not gonna take out a family member to get it.

But you, Lee would absolutely take me out for another chance with Gabby. Hmm. So that’s it. There’s only one possible explanation that I did this because I can’t let go of my ex even after I didn’t fight you on the divorce. And I’ve told you repeatedly, I just want you to be happy. I decided to do a total 180 and risk my freedom, my future, everything to murder.

Stephan, a man you never stopped loving even after he was dead. So that way I could be with you again, knowing full well your heart would always belong to him. Yep, you got me. That’s it. That’s how I wanna spend the rest of my life. Good luck, man. I really hope there’s room in that bed of yours for the three of you, you, Gabby, and her ego.

Of course, I’m on your side. I would, I would never betray you. I’d never turn my back on you. I’m so sorry that I ever made you feel otherwise.

You are the most important person in my life to be true. You are my life.

And that’s why I know I can be a forbearing at times.

Okay. I suppose I can be downright track.

I’m with you, Dimitri. It’s only because I want you to have a very full, happy life. I want that so much for you,

and to that end, I have done everything I can to protect you from those who would sabotage you. Undermine you the way they tried to do me, you mean, uh, the other Damaris? The Yes. Yes. That’s what I mean.

But give me some good news. Tell me about Gwen and how that’s going. Well, I proposed and I offered her a diamond ring. Yes, I know. And has she accepted?

No, not yet. But you should know that all this time that I’ve been by your side, she’s been right here by mine. And from the moment that they rushed you into surgery, she has been here. And I don’t think that she’s left. Now I think she’s still here. She hasn’t left once. Oh, that’s wonderful. Dimitri. Bless her heart.

You know, I know that I was be cavalier and somewhat callous at the beginning of all of this, wanting you to get married. Just because the inheritance was contingent upon it, but

there is nothing that would lift my spirits more than knowing that when you do Mary Ms. R Jack, That you will not only have secured the Von of Fortune, but you would’ve found someone to truly love someone worthy of you.

Oh, so now it’s not just Dimitri plotting against me, it’s his mother too. You said he hasn’t left her side since she got here. Clearly, they’re thickest thieves. Oh, yes. He’s a very devoted son, so clearly they’re conspiring against me. You are really reaching Matty. Mm, I don’t think so. Love bug. When I said Kristen and EJ free, they told me they think Megan and her Spawn are just using you.

But what purpose? Well, they, they couldn’t remember, but they are sure those two are plotting something.

Will you help us figure out what Megan was plotting? Look, I will beg you if I have to.

Why don’t we try Come Scott. No, wait, wait. Come in.

I just wanna make sure that we’re not interrupted. Okay. Who wants to go first?

You know, at first I thought that Lee was trying to throw suspicion off of himself and onto Megan. Yeah. But what he said about her does seem at least possible. And he’s right. I mean, Megan has brainwashed Michaels before. God. I just, I keep going back to that moment where God, he was trying to shoot you.

He’s a Navy seal. If he would’ve pulled the trigger, he wouldn’t have missed. Yeah. So you bum rushed him to get his gun, Gabby. I can’t believe what you did to save me. I had to. You kidding me? I wasn’t gonna let that happen again. N not again. Not like that. Stephen, I love you so much. I love you. That monster that did this is gonna have to pay.

You think it was Megan, you were wondering why she was so insistent on throwing us that party. And that party is exactly where all this went down. Yeah. And EJ and Chris said that they were being held captive by her for weeks. They still don’t know why. Well, maybe this is why. Maybe they were onto her and she needed them out of the way.

Oh, and then maybe that witch injected them with something to make them forget. I will kill her. I will, I will literally go to the hospital right now and, and just smother her with a pillow. Take it easy, easy. Take it easy. Her sister tried to whack you. It’s ruthless. It’s, it’s totally her mo. We’re still not sure.

All right. And it’s too dangerous for you to confront her by yourself, so we need the authorities to handle this. I’ll talk to Trask and I’ll meet you at home. Or the two of us could go smother Megan together. Okay, fine. We’ll do it your way.

See how I just, I just want this to be overs. I just want you to be safe.

It is exhausting trying to convince you that all I want is for you to be safe. How about happy? Do you want that for me? Because Demetri makes me feel that way. Orgasms don’t count. You bloody stop it with the crude jokes and a loud, bloody name calling, there’s absolutely no proof that Demetri is up to no good.

You want proof? I’ll get you proof. I will go back to that house of horrors and dig something up. Yeah, that’s what you said the night of the party. Well, it is not my fault. I got sidetracked by two memory impaired de mirrors. And by the way, just because I didn’t find anything the first time doesn’t mean there’s nothing to be found.

No fine, then go at it. You’re just gonna be wasting your time. Just promise me you will not give D V L or his magic penis an answer about the proposal until I report back.

You’re really asking a lot. I mean, it’s been days. Since he proposed to me, what if he, what if he gets tired of waiting? What if he takes it back? Well then you, my little potato pancake can consider yourself lucky.

Ah, so. Here I am recovering from my brush with death, which given that I actually did lose my life some time ago, doesn’t seem that momentous does it. I mean, if I can come back stronger than ever, from the great beyond, you’ll be back to your old self again, stronger than ever. Once more. And looking at the bright side, my being out of commission for a little while.

Provided an opportunity for you and Gwen to spend some very valuable time together and for you to learn that she is both loyal and Carrie.

Megan, you’re awake. I am indeed. I’m very happy to see you. Are you. I, I wouldn’t be anywhere else. Your son here has been praying for your recovery, as have I. I’m very grateful to both of you.

You both did very well. Is everything clear to you now? Oh, that’s psycho. Megan was planning to kill Stephan. She brainwashed Harris and obviously set up Le Shin to take the fall. Thank God it all came back to us. Oh my God. But it’s still her word against ours. But we have the advantage now. We have the truth.

Marina, I know this was asking a lot and we are so very grateful, but because of you, we can stop Megan from doing any further damage. No, thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Marlena. I, I don’t know how, what to say. Just. Make sure she pays. Okay. What is our next move? We should split up. You go to the station and alert the police.

All right. And what are you gonna do? My dear sister is languishing in hospital. I think it’s time we pay her a visit.

Honestly, this is so wonderful. It’s just such an absolute relief to me too, obviously, especially knowing that you’ve been here by my son’s side, the entire ordeal.

Yes. Well, I’ve, I’ve seen how devoted your son is to you. He was sick with worry. Well, no more worry now. Just a great deal of gratitude that we still have so many happy days ahead of us here, here, and you know, this entire experience has made me realize how much I’ve taken for granted going along as if I have infinite tomorrows.

But this has reminded me that there is nothing in life. That’s a guarantee. It could all end tomorrow in an instant. So I say looking at the two of you, beautiful people starting a new life together.

At least I fer hope you are.

By Darlene’s son and you Gwen, who have supported him through this difficult time, allow me to impart a bit of wisdom.

Don’t postpone your happiness. If an opportunity presents itself, seize it with courage and conviction, and without delay, don’t let it pass you by.

I think I need to rest Yes. Of, of course. I hope that we haven’t text you too much. Not at all. You’ve warmed my heart. Inspired me to heal quickly. But you could go home now. Get out of this jury hospital. You sure? You’ll be all right? Absolutely. Just seeing the two of you growing closer together, making each other happy, it reminds me of the richness in life of the wealth that’s available to us if we simply commit and receive it.

Right. Well, I’m, I’m gonna let you rest, right?

I’m.

Bravo. That was most eloquent out there. Do you think I got my point across? Oh yes. Very effectively. And now, uh, it is time for you to take the reins. Dimitri. It is time for you to make this happen. Make that woman your wife. I will do my damnedest and one.

Don’t trust the others, the, and never forget that you and I we’re a team. We must stick together a united front. Yes, yes, yes. Mother United front. Always,

I love you.

Tell Ms. Trask it’s urgent. Stephan Demara. No, she has my number step. What are you doing here, Gabby? And I just grubbly shin. Now I need to find the da. Yes. Same here. Need to talk. I need to start from Megan. What? What?

What’s wrong? I don’t have time to explain. I’m looking for my sister’s room. Megan, why? So I can tell that maniacal snake that the jig is up. So Marlena agreed to hypnotize you and ej. Mm-hmm. I mean, she wasn’t happy about it, but she did know it was the only way. Did it work? Yeah, sure did. And now we know the truth about what our sister did to us and what she tried to do to you.

So Megan is actually the one who wanted step in death? That’s right. Well, Harris is convinced that the order came from Shin. Yeah. Lee insists he didn’t give Michaels a command to kill me, Gabby, and I don’t know whether to believe him. Well, you can believe him. All right. The commander did not get his commands from Shin.

Forget Shin. Megan’s behind this. It’s all about getting control of the company. Are you sure? Thanks to Marlena. Yes. I frigging knew it

well. Megan gambled that EJ and I wouldn’t remember, and she gambled and lost. It’s the perfect setup. She programs Michaels to think he got his orders from Lee. Her hands stay clean. Mm-hmm. But not anymore. You see, everyone’s gonna know the truth about Megan starting with the da. I left her a message to call me as soon as she’s out of her meeting.

No need for you to hang around as Megan’s intended victim. I would like to be the one to give Trask everything she needs to nail our sister to the wall. Mm. All right, then I will see you back at the house.

It’s time to let my sister know that she’s not fooling anyone anymore. Has she even woken up yet? Well, if she hasn’t, I’ll shake her back to consciousness. Oh, I would love to see the look on her face when she finds out she’s gonna be spending the rest of her miserable life in a cage. And by all means, join me.

I got a message through the police that you wanted to see me. Dr. Evans, thank you for, for coming. What’s going on?

Um,

I realize that I, I need your help.

Coast is clear. Let’s give this another go.

What are you hiding here? Dimwit.

Who the hell do you think you

probably feels like forever since you’ve been back here? I haven’t really missed it, truth be told. That’s because wherever you are is where I now want to be.

I can’t tell you how much it meant to me to have you by my side. I would never have left him alone. Never.

What is it?

Nothing. Okay, I should go. You get some rest. I’ll call you later. Dimitri. Wait.

Look, I know that there’s a lot going on right now.

But I haven’t forgotten that you are waiting my response to your proposal. Oh, Gwen, don’t worry about that. I can wait. No, I can’t wait. And I have an answer for you now.

My answer is yes.

So do you believe me? Now let me be very clear, Lee. I would never take your word on anything, but Kristen was just here and she remembers what happened now. She confirmed what you said. Megan programmed Harris to kill me. Finally, so go talk to the police and get me outta here. No, no, no. This may have been Megan’s plan, but you damn well could have been in on it.

So till I have confirmation, I. That you weren’t, you’re not going anywhere,

dear. I know the truth now.

Days of Our Lives Update

Update written by Joseph

Gabi and Stefan confront Li in the interrogation room. Stefan comments on Li not answering the police’s questions which Li calls his right. Gabi brings up that Harris already informed them that Li hired him to kill Stefan. Stefan calls that an epic fail. Gabi can’t believe Li tried to have the man she loves killed so that she would be available again. Gabi tells Li that he might as well confess because he and his homicidal henchman are going down.

Harris is handcuffed to a hospital bed. Kate enters and says she heard he was here under observation but guesses that she had to see it for herself. Kate asks what happened. Harris tells her to ask the morons who brought him in. Kate says she’s asking him because last time they saw each other, he said he was going to take care of Megan and then she got a text from him saying “mission accomplished” but then she finds out that Megan is hosting a party at the Bistro and Harris crashed the party in a big way. Kate adds that he didn’t grab Megan, but tried to kill Stefan DiMera because Li Shin told him to. Kate declares that the whole thing makes zero sense but Harris says it makes perfect sense to him. Kate states that if that’s true then he’s in the right place because he needs his head examined by an expert.

Kristen shows up at Marlena’s door. Marlena tells her that Rachel left for a camp a week ago and she never even said goodbye. Kristen informs Marlena that she was held captive by her deranged sister, Megan. Marlena brings up Megan being in the hospital. EJ appears and says he told Kristen to wait until he parked. EJ confirms everything Kristen is saying is true as he was held captive too. Marlena questions why Megan would do such a thing. EJ says that’s an excellent question and they need her help to answer it.

Leo goes to the hospital and tells Gwen that he came to see if there’s any word on Megan. Gwen says there isn’t and that Dimitri is in with her now, but she hasn’t regained consciousness. Leo asks if Gwen accepted Dimitri’s proposal. Gwen responds that the subject hasn’t come up because they are in a hospital. Gwen argues that it’s been two days since Megan was shot and Dimitri doesn’t know if she’s going to live or die. Gwen states that Dimitri is completely falling apart and her heart is breaking for him. Leo tells Gwen that she’s sad as he can’t believe she’s falling for his poor little rich boy act.

Dimitri sits at Megan’s side in her hospital room as she begins to wake up. Megan asks where she is. Dimitri informs her that she’s in the hospital after having emergency surgery two days ago. Megan questions what happened. Dimitri reveals that she was shot at the engagement party but guesses she doesn’t remember. Dimitri explains how Harris Michaels showed up armed and said that Li Shin ordered him to kill Stefan but before he pulled the trigger, Gabi jumped on him and Megan ended up getting shot. Megan questions why she is handcuffed to the bed if she’s the victim here.

Li tells Gabi that she’s insane if she thinks he would hire someone to kill Stefan. Gabi brings up that Li tried to off Stefan before. Stefan questions how Li knows Harris Michaels. Li claims he doesn’t but Gabi points out that Harris said he was acting under Li’s orders. Li argues that it makes no sense. Stefan says it makes perfect sense if Li brainwashed Harris like he did to him. Gabi adds that the police believe someone messed with his head. Stefan brings up Li knowing Dr. Rolf very well. Gabi says messing with people’s heads is Dr. Rolf’s specialty so Li could’ve gotten him to help him. Li insists that he’s innocent. Gabi asks why Harris would walk in to their party with his gun pointed at Stefan and say that Li ordered him to kill him then.

Harris tells Kate that he takes his orders from Li Shin, not her, and he wanted Stefan out of the way so he could have a clear path to Gabi. Kate brings up how two days ago at the Pub, Harris told her that he had put a tracking device on Megan’s car, then got an alert and went after her, but now he’s asking her to believe that Li Shin redirected him to another target. Kate is not believing that. Harris tells her that Megan got hers anyway. Kate knows she took a stray bullet at the Bistro but notes that Harris still hasn’t answered her question. Harris declares that he’s done talking and suggests she go get someone to cut him loose so that he can finish his real mission.

Megan questions why she is shackled to the bed. Dimitri informs her that she’s been arrested. Megan asks what she has been accused of. Dimitri explains that after she was shot, EJ and Kristen told the cops that she was holding them in the basement of the DiMera Mansion. Megan says he must be joking and claims it’s not true. Megan calls it the most absurd thing she’s ever heard in her life.

Marlena doesn’t know why she would help with anything. EJ knew she would be reluctant because of Kristen and also because he’s not her favorite person, but they have come to her with respect and humility because she is the only person who can provide the kind of help they need. Marlena asks what that means. EJ informs her that Megan was arrested but unless they can tell them exactly what happened and why, they are going to let her go. Marlena questions why he doesn’t go to the police and tell them then. Kristen explains that they don’t remember. Marlena asks if they are trying to rope her in to DiMera family hijinks. EJ explains that Megan injected them with a drug to erase their memory so that’s why they need Marlena to bring them back. Kristen adds that after everything Megan has done to Marlena, she thought she would leap at the chance to put her away, even if that means helping her.

Gwen questions why Leo has a pillow case. Leo says he brought her extra clothes if she needs to change. Gwen admits that was thoughtful. Leo comments that she seems to be living here at the hospital. Gwen assures that she’s going home to sleep, so she won’t need a change of clothes. Leo says he’ll take it back then. Gwen complains about him looking at her disapprovingly. Gwen says she’s just supporting Dimitri through this rough time with his mother. Leo says that Gwen is the one he’s worried about and he will continue to until she sees the light. Gwen calls him cynical and mistrusting. Leo calls Dimitri a dangerous predator. Leo tells Gwen that he loves her while Dimitri does not. Leo urges her to wake up because Dimitri has caused her to throw logic out the window so that he can suck her in. Leo adds that Dimitri is trying to pull her further in to his web with his crocodile tears over his mom. Gwen tells him that he couldn’t be more wrong about Dimitri. Gwen says that Dimitri hasn’t eaten or slept and his pain is very real like she knows his feelings for her are as well. Gwen declares that Dimitri is absolutely beside himself over whether or not Megan survives. Leo argues that’s only because Dimitri needs Megan for whatever he has planned for her.

Megan insists to Dimitri that there is nothing to EJ and Kristen’s claims. Dimitri brings up that EJ and Kristen did disappear rather suddenly a few weeks ago. Megan claims that Kristen went to New York for a custody lawyer while EJ probably wanted to escape Nicole. Dimitri asks why they would lie about being held in the wine cellar. Megan argues that’s what they do because they aren’t true DiMeras like them, so they will do and say anything they can to blacken her name and drag her down. Megan tells Dimitri to say what he’s thinking. Dimitri feels their story makes him think of a couple of things. Dimitri brings up seeing Megan heading in to the tunnels on the night of the party. Megan insists she was getting a bottle of champagne. Dimitri brings up another time when he saw her standing in front of the secret panel with a tray of enough food to feed two people but she was by herself. Megan complains of how much this hurts her that her own son could think she would do something so malevolent or that she would be so cruel to her own siblings. Dimitri admits he has no theory as to why she would do this. Megan insists that it defies all logic. Megan asks what EJ and Kristen say her motive was. Dimitri responds that they don’t know and are claiming Megan injected them with something to make them forget. Megan states that she’s getting the distinct impression that he believes them. Megan warns that if Dimitri turns against her, it will break her heart and asks if that’s what he wants to do. Dimitri says of course not so Megan orders him to tell her that he believes and trusts her and that he will never betray her.

Marlena questions EJ and Kristen about Megan wiping out their memories. EJ explains that they only know they were held captive and drugged. EJ says that Megan may be their sister but she belongs behind bars. Kristen brings up how much John hurt when he thought Marlena was dead and warns that Megan can inflict that kind of pain on everyone in Salem but the problem is they have no idea what Megan’s plans are or who is in her crosshairs.

Gabi asks Li again why Harris would say he ordered him to kill Stefan if that’s not true. Li thinks back to telling Megan that he wanted to make sure this couldn’t be traced back to them and Megan reassuring him. Li argues that Gabi and Stefan are so quick to blame him when they are completely overlooking the person who is actually guilty, Megan Hathaway. Li declares that it couldn’t be more obvious since Megan used Dr. Rolf to brainwash Harris once and now she’s done it again.

Kate tells Harris that it would make sense if Megan somehow flipped the tables on him. Kate doesn’t know why Megan would want to kill her brother, but somehow she thinks Megan is up to her eyeballs in this. Harris tells Kate that she’s wrong and tells her to go away. Kate insists that she’s going to help him get back to his right mind. Harris argues that there is nothing wrong with his mind. Kate points out that he’s shackled to the bed after an attempted assassination. Kate repeats that this isn’t him. Harris tells her to stop. Kate knows the last time he was deprogrammed, it wasn’t pleasant, so they don’t have to call in ISA. Kate insists that Marlena can do it here but Harris says no. Kate reminds Harris that he came to Salem to stop Megan from ever hurting anyone ever again, but she has hurt him and stripped him of his humanity to use him to do her dirty work. Kate argues that he can’t let her do that again, so he has to find his true self. Kate tells Harris that he’s a good, decent man and a hero, mentioning that he saved her life, so she wants to help him. Kate adds that she can only help him if he gives her his consent and asks if he will do that. Harris asks why he would consent to letting a shrink mess with his head. Harris argues that he answers to Li Shin and doesn’t need to be programmed to do what he wants. Kate argues that anyone being okay with murder means he was turned by someone to use him as a tool and that screams Megan Hathaway to her. Kate repeats that he can’t let Megan do this to him again. Kate hopes that Harris will accept her help, because if he doesn’t, he will forever be a pawn for Megan’s sick game. Kate then exits the room.

Gabi questions why Megan would want Stefan dead when he is her brother. Li points out that he’s also co-CEO of DiMera which means he has what all DiMeras want, a bigger slice of the pie and a bigger role in the company if Stefan met his untimely demise. Gabi argues that Megan wants the company but wouldn’t take out a family member to get it. Stefan points out that Li would absolutely take him out for another chance at Gabi. Li questions them thinking that’s the only possibility. Li reminds Gabi that he didn’t fight her on the divorce and told her that he just wanted her to be happy. Li questions why he would risk his freedom and everything to have Stefan killed, despite knowing Gabi’s heart would always belong to him. Li wishes Stefan luck and remarks that he hopes there’s enough room in the bed for Stefan, Gabi, and her ego.

Dimitri assures Megan that he is on her side and would never betray or turn his back on her. Dimitri apologizes for ever making her feel otherwise. Megan calls him the most important person in her life. Megan knows she can be overbearing at times but it’s only because she wants him to have a very full, happy life. Megan says she has done everything she can to protect him from those would sabotage or undermine him like they tried to do to her. Megan asks Dimitri for good news and how things are going with Gwen. Dimitri says he proposed with a diamond ring but she hasn’t accepted yet. Dimitri notes that Gwen has been by his side since the moment Megan was brought in to the hospital and she hasn’t left once. Megan calls that wonderful. Megan knows she was somewhat callous at the beginning of all this wanting him to get married for the inheritance, but says nothing would lift her spirits more than knowing that when Dimitri does marry Gwen, he will not only have secured the Von Leuschner fortune, but found someone to truly love.

Gwen questions Leo thinking Megan is plotting against her. Leo says they are both thick as thieves. Gwen thinks Leo is reaching. Leo informs her that when he sent Kristen and EJ free, they thought Megan and Dimitri were using her. Gwen questions for what purpose. Leo admits they couldn’t remember but they are sure that those two are plotting something.

Kristen asks if Marlena will help them figure out what Megan was plotting and says she will beg if she has to. EJ says they tried and they will go but Marlena stops and invites them in. Marlena locks the door to ensure they are not interrupted and asks who wants to go first.

Gabi and Stefan leave the interrogation room. Gabi admits at first she thought Li was just trying to throw off suspicion onto Megan. Stefan admits that it does make sense while Gabi acknowledges that Megan has brainwashed Harris before. Gabi keeps going back to the moment where Harris was trying to shoot him. Gabi notes that Harris was a navy SEAL so he wasn’t going to miss. Stefan still can’t believe what she did to save him. Gabi says she had to because she was not going to let that happen again. Gabi tells Stefan that she loves him so much and the monster that did this is going to have to pay. Gabi asks if Stefan thinks it was Megan. Stefan brings up wondering why Megan was so insistent on throwing them this party and that being where all this happened. Gabi brings up EJ and Kristen saying they were held captive for weeks and not knowing why. Stefan points out that maybe they were onto her and she needed them out of the way. Gabi wonders if Megan injected them with something to make them forget. Gabi complains that she wants to kill Megan. Stefan notes that they are still not sure and it’s too dangerous for her to confront Megan by herself, so they need to let the authorities handle this. Stefan decides he will go talk to Melinda Trask and tells Gabi to go home. Gabi says she just wants this over and for Stefan to be safe as she then exits.

Leo tells Gwen that it’s exhausting trying to convince her that he just wants her to be safe. Gwen asks if he wants her to be happy because Dimitri makes her happy. Leo shouts that orgasms don’ count. Gwen says enough of the crude jokes and argues that there is absolutely no proof that Dimitri is up to no good. Leo says he’ll go back to the DiMera Mansion to dig something up. Gwen points out that he said that last time too. Leo argues that he got sidetracked by finding EJ and Kristen, adding that just because he didn’t find something the first time doesn’t mean there is nothing there. Gwen tells Leo to go ahead and waste his time. Leo asks Gwen to promise not to answer Dimitri’s proposal until he reports back. Gwen argues that he’s asking a lot. Gwen points out that it’s been days since Dimitri proposed and asks what if he gets tired of waiting and takes it back. Leo says she could consider herself lucky then and exits the hospital.

Megan jokes about her brush with death when she lost her life once before some time ago. Dimitri encourages that she’ll come back again, stronger than ever. Megan feels being out of commission for awhile might be an opportunity for Dimitri and Gwen to spend some very valuable time together. Gwen then enters the room, happy to see Megan is awake. Megan responds that she’s very happy to see Gwen. Gwen assures that she wouldn’t be anywhere else as she and Dimitri have been praying for her recovery. Megan says she’s very grateful to both of them.

After hypnosis, Marlena tells EJ and Kristen that they both did very well. EJ asks if everything is clear now to Kristen. Kristen argues that Megan intended to kill Stefan and brainwashed Harris while EJ adds that she set up Li Shin to take the fall. EJ is thankful it all came back to them. Kristen worries that it still is their word against Megan’s. EJ says they know the truth. EJ tells Marlena that he knows this was difficult for her but because of her, they can now stop Megan. EJ and Kristen both thank Marlena. Marlena tells them to just make sure Megan pays. Kristen asks what their next move is. EJ suggests they split up and Kristen go to the police station to alert the police while he goes to pay Megan a visit in the hospital.

Gwen tells Megan that it’s so wonderful and an absolute relief. Megan comments on Gwen being by Dimitri’s side through the entire ordeal. Gwen says she’s seen how devoted Dimitri is to Megan as he was sick with worry. Megan says there’s no more worry now, just a great deal of gratitude to have so many happy days ahead of them. Megan states that this entire experience has made her realize how much she was taking for granted but nothing in life is guaranteed as it could all end tomorrow in an instant. Megan mentions hoping that Dimitri and Gwen will be starting a new life together. Megan advises them not to postpone their happiness and to seize any opportunity rather than letting it pass by. Megan says she suddenly feels tired and thinks she needs to rest. Megan assures that they warmed her heart and inspired her to get better quickly but they can go home now and get out of the hospital. Megan says seeing them grow closer together and make each other happy reminds her of the richness and wealth in life if they simply commit to receive it. Gwen decides to let her rest and exits while Dimitri says he’ll be right behind her. Dimitri praises Megan and thinks she got her point across very effectively. Megan declares that it’s time for Dimitri to take the reins and make Gwen his wife. Megan warns him not to trust the others and to never forget that they are a team so they must stick together as a united front. Dimitri agrees and tells her that he loves her as he then exits.

Stefan makes a call to tell Melinda that it’s urgent. Kristen arrives at the police station and tells Stefan that she also needs to talk to Melinda about Megan.

EJ goes to the hospital and runs in to Kate, who asks what’s wrong. EJ says he doesn’t have time to explain but he’s looking for Megan’s room so he can tell her that the jig is up.

Kristen informs Stefan that Marlena agreed to hypnotize her and EJ and now they know the truth about what Megan did to them and tried to do to Stefan.

EJ informs Kate that Megan was the one who wanted Stefan dead. Kate notes that Harris is convinced that he got the order from Li Shin.

Stefan tells Kristen about Li denying giving Harris the order to kill but he and Gabi didn’t know whether to believe him. Kristen says he can believe her because Harris did not gets his commands from Li.

EJ tells Kate to forget Li because this was all Megan’s doing to get control of the company. Kate remarks that she knew it.

Kristen tells Stefan that Megan gambled on her and EJ not remembering but she lost. Stefan calls it the perfect setup because she programmed Harris to think he got his orders from Li, so her hands would stay clean. Kristen says not anymore because everyone is going to know the truth, starting with Melinda. Stefan mentions leaving her a message to call him after her meeting. Stefan tells Kristen that she doesn’t need to hang around because as Megan’s intended victim, he wants to be the one to give Melinda everything she needs to nail Megan to the wall. Kristen decides she will see him back at home then and exits the police station.

EJ tells Kate that it’s time to let Megan know that she’s not fooling anyone anymore. Kate wants to see the look on Megan’s face when she finds out that she’s spending the rest of her life in a cage. EJ tells Kate to join him then as he heads for Megan’s room.

Marlena goes to the hospital to see Harris Michaels, noting that she got a message through the police that he wanted to see her. Harris thanks her for coming and says he realized that he needed her help.

Leo returns to the DiMera Mansion through the tunnels and begins to search the living room until Kristen comes home and asks what the hell he’s doing, startling him.

Dimitri brings Gwen home to her room at the Salem Inn and says it probably feels like forever since she’s been here. Gwen admits she hasn’t really missed it because where ever he is, is where she now want to be as they kiss. Dimitri tells her how much it meant to him to have her by his side. Gwen assures she never would have left him alone. Dimitri kisses her and says he should go while she gets some rest and he’ll call her later. Gwen stops him and says she knows a lot is going on right now but she hasn’t forgotten that he is waiting on her response to his proposal. Dimitri tells her not to worry as that can wait but Gwen decides it can’t wait and she has an answer now. Gwen then says yes to Dimitri’s proposal.

Stefan returns to Li in the interrogation room. Li asks if he believes him now. Stefan assures that he would never take Li’s word on anything but Kristen was there and confirmed what he said, that Megan programmed Harris to kill him. Li tells Stefan to go talk to the police and get him out then. Stefan argues that this may have been Megan’s plan but Li could have been in on it, so until he has confirmation that he wasn’t, he’s not going anywhere.

EJ and Kate go to Megan’s hospital room to confront her but instead they find Gabi now handcuffed to the bed.

Days of Our Lives Update

Update written by Joseph

Talia works community service by cleaning up in the town square and she picks up a missing persons poster of Abe on the ground. Chanel comes out of the Bakery, complaining on the phone about trying to run a business when her partner left town and her best employee tried to ruin her business as she then turns and sees Talia.

Jerry goes to the docks and sees the memorial shrine of Abe. Theo approaches him and asks if he knew his dad. Theo introduces himself and asks who he is.

Lani and Eli go over the eye witness who saw Abe fall in to the water being an actor. Lani goes over his resume, seeing that he hasn’t been in much but some local theater, a commercial, and then sees a couple years ago that he was in Body and Soul.

Abe continues watching Body and Soul where Jerry shows up as an actor in the show. Abe recognizes him and questions it being Theo. Abe asks what his son is doing in this and what the hell is going on here.

Whitley shows up at Paulina’s door. Paulina asks what she’s doing there. Whitley says she came to say she’s sorry.

Chanel talks on the phone about just losing someone dear to them and the bakery is reopening tomorrow, so she needs something really good to happen. Chanel hangs up and explains to Talia that she’s dealing with a flour delivery. Talia asks if she’s reopening tomorrow. Chanel says that’s the plan if nothing else goes wrong. Talia says she’s just doing her community service. Chanel asks about getting a deal. Talia explains that Melinda had experience with an abusive relationship so she showed her some mercy. Chanel says good for her and that she should go but Talia stops her as she really wanted to say how sorry she is.

Paulina questions what Whitley is sorry for. Whitley says she heard about her husband’s death and wanted to share her deep condolences. Paulina thanks her and says that’s very kind. Whitley claims she didn’t know Abe well but he seemed like a decent and caring man. Paulina remarks that Whitley may have been the last person to see him alive. Whitley responds that she thought so, but it sounds like that guy at the docks was the last person to see him before his tragic fate.

Eli tells Lani that he’s never heard of Body and Soul but Lani says she knows he used to watch it during the day when he worked night shifts. Eli claims not to know what she’s talking about. Lani brings up that the TV used to be on the channel when she came home. Eli then admits that he watched it here and there but says it was only because he had a crush on an actress named Sal, who reminded him of Lani. Eli says he doesn’t recall seeing Jerry on the show. Lani notes that it looks like he was only in a couple of episodes. Eli guesses he gave up his Hollywood dreams and moved back to Salem. Lani admits she was hoping for a mugshot and not a headshot. Eli says he ran him through the system but it came back clean, so it looks like he was just an innocent bystander on the docks. Lani questions why Jerry would have any reason to lie about seeing Abe fall in to the water.

Jerry introduces himself to Theo. Theo recognizes his name as being the witness who saw Abe fall in to the river. Theo questions what he’s doing here now. Jerry guesses he was drawn to come back because he felt guilty which Theo questions.

Abe questions Theo being an actor, saying that doesn’t make sense. In the show, Jerry’s character is put up to pretending to be someone else and is told that no one will be the wiser. Abe remarks that he sure as hell will be.

Talia tells Chanel that she felt terrible when she heard the news as she was praying that Abe would be found safely. Chanel says they all were as not knowing was awful, especially for Paulina. Chanel adds that now they have closure, but Abe is gone. Talia says she will never be able to forgive herself for the role that she had in all of this. Talia adds that if Colin never assaulted Abe and she would’ve never helped him. Chanel assures that the what if’s are pointless now and won’t change anything. Chanel declares that all they can do is keep moving forward. Talia tells Chanel that she was right that she was putting up the missing person flyers because of her guilty conscience, but it didn’t work. Talia knows there is nothing she can do to make up for how she hurt Chanel and her family.

Jerry tells Theo that he feels guilty because he saw Abe fall and he almost got to him, but it was too late and he wanted to jump in to save him, but he can’t swim. Theo understands and says Abe wouldn’t have wanted him to lose his life trying to save his. Theo adds that Jerry did what he could and called 911, but at least they know what happened to him. Theo says he’s glad he ran in to him, so he could thank him for that.

Paulina tells Whitley that was very kind of her and says she obviously cares very deeply for her patients. Whitley says that Abe wasn’t just a patient as she voted for him in every election and volunteered for his campaign. Whitley talks about feeling like she knew Abe personally before she ever met him. Paulina says that Abe had an amazing connection with people. Whitley tells her that she was very lucky to have him as long as she did. Paulina notes that doesn’t make the loss any easier and points out that today was supposed to be their first wedding anniversary. Whitley reveals that she was in the park on the day of their wedding as she was there for a Juneteenth barbecue and then just stumbled upon it. Whitley talks about being happy to be a part of that day. Whitley declares that she will never forget Abe and feels blessed to have known him.

Lani reads Whitley’s statement and says it seems like she was the last person to see Abe before he left the hospital, but there’s still all that time until he was seen at the docks. Lani wonders where he could have gone. Eli assures they checked every security camera in Salem and there’s nothing. Lani sees Rafe in the window and worries about getting Eli in trouble but Eli assures that he’s not worried about that. Eli and Lani exit the interrogation room to see Rafe and Jada. Rafe hugs Lani and says it’s so good to see her though he wishes it was under any other circumstances. Rafe introduces Lani to Jada. Jada tells Lani that she’s so sorry to hear about her loss as Abe was a wonderful man. Lani thanks her and appreciates her working so hard on the case. Rafe is sure that Lani didn’t come all the way down just to say hello. Eli admits that was part of it. Rafe agrees to allow Lani to look at the evidence and pretend that he doesn’t know about it. Lani thanks him for understanding. Eli gets a call from his boss in Washington DC, so he steps away to answer. Rafe tells Lani that he’s sorry as he wishes he had better information on Abe. Lani knows Rafe has gone over the case 100 different ways but thought if she saw the evidence herself, it would help her to accept what happened. Lani adds that any if they did figure it out, nothing will bring Abe back.

Abe skips ahead in the recording of Body and Soul to see the credits. Abe pauses it when he finds out that “Theo’s” real name is Jerry Prentiss. Abe asks what the hell as that’s not his son’s name. Abe declares that this means “Paulina” has been lying to him and wonders what else she’s been lying about. Abe decides he has to get out of here and tries to get up.

Chanel asks Talia if she’s still seeing Marlena. Talia confirms that she is. Chanel hopes she is helping her. Talia admits that she is more than she could have hoped. Chanel says she’s glad to hear that. Talia says she’s glad to see she is moving forward too. Talia knows Chanel will make the bakery a success again. Chanel says she will try and confirms that she found someone good to replace Talia. Chanel mentions going home to shower and change, then making it back for the flour delivery tonight. Talia wishes her luck with everything tomorrow and says to tell Paulina how sorry she is about everything. Chanel agrees to and thanks her as she then walks away.

Whitley tells Paulina that she should get going. Paulina stops her to ask a favor. Paulina brings up that Whitley may have been the last person to talk to Abe. Paulina asks if she could tell him his last words to her because Chanel said Abe was confused and didn’t even remember who she was, so she wondered if Whitley had the same experience. Whitley flashes back to seeing Abe in the hospital when Abe thought that she was Paulina. Whitley then informs Paulina that Abe said her name, so on some level, he must have remembered her. Paulina thanks her and calls her an angel, saying she has no idea what it means to her to hear that. Whitley says she’s going to work now. Paulina thanks her again for stopping by as Whitley then exits.

Rafe hopes Eli is taking Lani somewhere special for their anniversary. Jada wishes Lani a happy anniversary. Lani explains that they agreed not to celebrate until she’s actually free. Eli returns and announces that his boss just assigned him to a new case in Arizona. Eli says he tried to explain the situation but this case is tied to another that he’s been working on for months. Lani can’t believe it. Eli tells her that he’s sorry. Eli hopes it’s just for a day as he will do everything he can to get back in time for Abe’s funeral. Lani knows he can’t make any promises and understands he has a job to do. Lani brings up that under supervised release, he agreed to look after her. Rafe steps in and says he will take over and get on the phone with corrections right away. Eli thanks him. Rafe feels it’s the least he could do. Lani asks Eli when he leaves. Eli says he has the latest possible flight, so at least they have some time together before he leaves. Lani decides they will just have to make the most of the time they have. Eli wants to stop by Doug and Julie’s to say goodbye before he leaves. Lani agrees as long as they can make one other stop on the way.

Theo asks Jerry how Abe seemed, if he was confused or upset. Jerry responds that he’s not sure as he was pretty far away. Theo asks if it looked like he just tripped. Jerry says pretty much as it all happened so fast and he doesn’t think he was in any pain. Theo says that’s good to know and thanks him. Jerry wishes he could tell him more or could have done more as Abe seemed like a pretty special guy. Theo states that he was and he’s going to miss him forever. Jerry then tells Theo that there is something he needs to tell him.

Abe insists that he has to get out of here and see what’s going on but Whitley comes home and questions what he’s doing. Abe responds that he’s leaving but Whitley tells him that he’s not.

Rafe drops a pile of case folders on Jada’s desk and says he’s sorry as he knows she’s already swamped. Jada wishes they had Eli and Lani back on the force to help get through all these cases. Jada brings up that they have Li Shin in custody, Harris Michaels under observation at the hospital, and then there’s Kristen and EJ’s kidnapping situation which is fishy. Rafe remembers one more assignment and instructs Jada to go home and watch some fireworks. Rafe adds that he’s not saying she has to watch the fireworks with him, but if she wants to spend her well-deserved time off with him. Jada responds that she does enjoy being discrete with him so she agrees.

Theo asks Jerry what he has to tell him. Jerry states that Theo suffered such a terrible loss. Eli and Lani then arrive on the docks, interrupting them. Lani comments on the shrine for Abe. Theo asks what they are doing there. Lani explains that she asked Eli to bring her so she could see the scene of the accident, but she didn’t know the shrine would be there. Theo states that a lot of people loved Abe. Lani recognizes Jerry. Theo explains that Jerry came because he felt bad about not being able to help Abe, but he told him that it’s not his fault and they don’t blame him. Jerry thanks him for saying that. Lani questions Jerry not telling Eli that he was on Body and Soul. Jerry calls that a long time ago. Lani jokes that if Eli had known, he probably would’ve asked for his autograph because he’s secretly a fan of his. Jerry decides that this is clearly a family moment, so he should just go. Theo reminds Jerry that before Eli and Lani showed up, he said he had something to tell him. Jerry claims he just wanted to tell him again how terrible he felt and how sorry he is as he then rushes off.

Chanel goes home to Paulina, who asks about the reopening of the Bakery. Chanel says it’s coming along. Paulina figured she’d be there all night getting ready. Chanel says she just came home to shower and change, then she will head back to get ready. Chanel still feels bad about leaving Paulina alone. Paulina points out that she wasn’t alone the whole time as Whitley came by to pay her respects. Paulina says Whitley had so many wonderful things to say about Abe. Paulina notes that he wasn’t her patient for long but he really seemed to touch her life.

Abe accuses Whitley of lying to her. Whitley asks what he’s talking about. Abe reveals that he saw “Theo” on Body and Soul and then he watched the credits which didn’t say Theo Carver, but Jerry Prentiss. Whitley claims that’s his stage name because there was another actor named Theo Carver. Whitley says that was pretty much his last role and then he moved to South Africa where he opened his own business. Abe responds that he doesn’t believe any of it.

Theo questions Eli leaving tonight. Eli wishes he didn’t have to. Theo says it’s his anniversary so that sucks. Lani reminds him that they are not celebrating until she’s really free. Theo argues that Abe wouldn’t want them to wait. Lani questions pulling the dad card but Eli feels he’s kind of right. Eli says he leaves in hours and hasn’t spent a night with her in so long. Eli says they don’t have to make it about their anniversary but he just wants to spend the time they have together. Theo agrees and says he’s going to head to Paulina’s as Chanel is reopening the bakery tomorrow, so he’s sure Paulina could use the comfort. Lani thanks him. Theo says he’ll see them soon. Theo pulls a teddy bear out of his backpack and explains that Abe got him for him at a carnival when he was six. Theo decides to leave the bear here at the shrine with Abe. Lani tells Theo that she loves him. Theo says the same as they hug. Theo then leaves the docks. Lani cries that she knew Abe was gone but doesn’t think she felt it until right now. Eli tells her that he’s so sorry.

Chanel tells Paulina that it sounds like she and Theo have big plans tonight. Paulina says it’s just dinner and fireworks on TV. Paulina asks Chanel about her new employee at the Bakery. Chanel says she’s okay. Paulina questions just okay. Chanel says she’s fine, just not Talia. Chanel brings up running in to Talia in the town square and says she wanted to tell her how sorry she is about Abe and how ashamed she feels about her place in what happened. Paulina understands that Talia was under the spell of a very bad man, so her heart goes out to her and she thinks she should let go of the guilt and shame to focus on being wiser and stronger from now on and making a good life for herself. Chanel calls that very kind of her and agrees to tell her that, if she ever sees her again.

Talia goes to the police station and tells Jada that she came to give her parole officer her signed forms to show she’s doing her community service and therapy, but she can’t seem to find her anywhere. Jada says she will take care of it for her and asks how therapy is going. Talia says it’s going very well as Marlena is the best. Jada is glad it’s working. Talia adds that Marlena even offered to help her find a job at the hospital when her probation ends. Jada calls that amazing as Talia will finally get back to what she dreamed of doing. Talia mentions seeing Chanel before and she said she hired a new woman. Jada asks if she’s jealous. Talia says no but admits she misses working at the bakery a lot and she knows Chanel will never forgive her for what she did and she shouldn’t. Talia reveals that every time she sees Chanel, she misses her too.

Whitley claims to Abe that everything she’s told him is the truth. Abe argues that it’s not and that something has felt wrong from the beginning. Whitley suggests he lay down but Abe shouts that he wants her to tell him the truth right now or he will call the police. Whitley then grabs a syringe and injects him with a mild sedative. Abe questions her drugging him. Whitley says he was confused and upset. Whitley then declares that she can never let him leave.

Chanel runs in to Talia in the town square. Talia says she realized she never returned her apron and that Chanel will need it for her new employee. Chanel thanks her and their hands touch as Fourth of July fireworks start to go off in the square.

Eli and Lani watch the fireworks in the park. Lani tells him that she’s really grateful to be here with him in this moment, but she misses her dad and their beautiful babies. Eli shows her a picture that their kids drew for her. Lani says she loves it but doesn’t have anything to give him. Eli says just having her here with him is the best gift he could ever receive. Eli adds that it just sucks they don’t have more time together. Lani assures they will be together soon enough. Eli states that she will be free and they will be a family again. Lani declares that she will never take that for granted again. Eli and Lani say I love you to each other as they kiss.

Jerry returns to Abe’s memorial shrine at the docks. Jerry looks at the teddy bear that Theo left and rips off the “RIP Dad” card attached to it, then throws the card in to the water.

Rafe and Jada lay in bed together, watching the fireworks on TV.

Theo and Paulina sit at home watching the fireworks on TV. Theo offers her a tissue as she holds back tears. Paulina tells him that she’s thinking about last year’s 4th of July as Abe was sitting where Theo is now and they were watching TV while he was trying so hard to be strong after Lani had just been sent to prison and Theo had gone back to South Africa. Paulina recalls watching the fireworks and seeing a tear run down Abe’s face.

Whitley and a sedated Abe sit together watching the fireworks on TV. Whitley calls it a perfect night for just the two of them.

John thought about seeing Abe on the docks. He let Marlena know that he felt like he let Abe and Paulina down. He flashed back to Abe helping him when he found out he was Roman. John wished he were a better friend to Abe. Marlena assured him that he was a good friend. John wanted to know how she was doing with it. She felt like everyone would need each other to get through what happened. Whitley got nervous when she saw the paper. She noticed Abe’s picture on it. Abe saw her and wondered what she was doing with the paper. She covered up his picture and told him about a man drowning at the docks. He wanted to read the story for himself. She didn’t want him to stress out and have another seizure. He apologized to her. He didn’t realize how stressful that was for her. She let him know that she was doing everything for him and got ready to go to work. Theo read about Abe’s presumed death. Theo told Eli that he kept losing people he loved. Lani showed up and said that he didn’t lose her. She let him know that she was granted furlough for Abe’ funeral. She had to wear an ankle bracelet. Steve and Kayla were going over the evidence. Steve found it hard to believe that Abe fell off the docks and drowned. He thought it was too easy. He mentioned that no one saw Abe until the exact moment he fell. He wondered how he survived on the street if he was so weak that he fell in the water. Theo arrived at Steve and Kayla’s place. Steve apologized for not coming through for him. He knew that Steve did the best he could. He thanked him for his donation. Theo didn’t understand how Abe suddenly disappeared and drowned. He didn’t think it made any sense.

They offered their condolences to Theo. Steve and John felt like they should have done more to find Abe. Marlena assured them that they did their best.

They know that something is wrong. John and Steve wanted to get back to work. Eli and Lani were at the station. He showed her the evidence they have concerning Abe’s  disappearance.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

No, I can’t come to Rockville right now. Yes, I’m aware it is a holiday, but sweep it is reopening tomorrow and you were supposed to make that flower delivery yesterday. Yeah, well, you try running a business after your partner leaves town and your best employee tries to ruin your business.

Did you know my dad? Oh, you’re Theo. You’ve covered son, and you are.

So the eyewitness who saw my dad fall into the water is an actor. Jerry Prentice is his name.

He hasn’t been in much. Just local theater, a commercial. Oh no, look at this. A couple years ago he was on that soap, body and soul.

Oh, well that’s a little better. Do you wanted to see me, Ms. Delo, it’s about time you got here. I have a job for you. What kind of job? Well, I need someone who can pretend to me the true and rifle air to the DeLorean fortune and that.

What is my son doing in one of my life’s stories?

The hell’s going on here.

Nurse King. What are you doing here? I. I, I, I came to say I’m sorry,

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

Okay, look, I, I get it’s the 4th of July and you wanna spend it with your family, but my family just lost someone really, really dear to us. And, well, my bakery is reopening tomorrow and I, I just really need something good to happen. Okay? So if you can’t help me, I 8:00 PM I will be in the store. Thank you.

Oh, uh, they were supposed to make a delivery yesterday. Flo, they’re coming tonight. As you probably gather, you’re reopening tomorrow. Yeah, that’s the plan. Assuming nothing else goes wrong, what is all this? Uh, just doing my community service. Keeping Salem clean. Yeah, I heard the DA gave you a deal. Lucky break.

Yeah, well, turns out that she had a personal experience with an abusive relationship, so she showed me some mercy. Well, good for you. Uh, I should go, uh, Chanel, uh, hang on, please. What is it?

I just really wanna say how sorry I am.

You’re sorry for what? Well, for your loss. I heard about your husband’s death and I wanted to share my deep condolences. Thank you. That’s very kind. I didn’t know Mayor Carver very well, but he seemed like a decent and caring man. Yes. He was, and you may have been the last person to see him alive.

I thought so. Uh, but it sounds like that guy at the docks was the last one to see him before he met his tragic fate,

body and soul. Never heard of it. Nice try. I know you used to watch it during the day whenever you worked night shifts. I have no idea what you’re talking about. Oh, really? So it was just a coincidence that the TV would be on that channel when I came home. I mean, if you’re watching it, it’s just, just I have to it.

Fine. All right. I, I, I watched it here and there. Mm-hmm. But only cuz I had a crush on that actress, or was her name Sal or something like that. Oh, so you like her, huh? Just cuz she reminded me of you. But baby you are way, way better looking nice, safe. No, but I don’t recall seeing this guy on the show though.

It looks like he was just in a couple episodes. Yes, he gave up his Hollywood dreams and moved back to good old Salem. I gotta be honest. I was kind of hoping for a mugshot and not a headshot. Yeah. He ran him through the system, but came back clean. Looks like he was just an innocent bystander on the docks.

I mean, why would this guy have any reason to lie about seeing my dad fall into the water?

Jerry? Jerry, you’re the witness. You’re the one who saw my dad fall into the river. Yeah, that’s me. But, but what are you doing here now? Uh, I guess I was drawn to come back because I felt guilty. Guilty about what

is an actor?

Doesn’t make sense. I want you to pretend to be Lord Kyle Vaughn Furstenberg bastard, son of lady Charmaine de Laqua, heir to the de fortune. Do you really think that’s going to work? Why not? Well, in case you haven’t noticed, I don’t exactly bear resemblance to the Delacroix land. Oh, what difference does that make?

DNA never lies until it does. So Kyle, Brandy, Kyle. Oh, rights. Kyle, you do exactly what I say. And no one will ever be the wiser.

I sure as hell will be.

Look, I felt terrible when I heard the news. I was really praying that Mary Carver would be found safe. We all were the not knowing was awful, especially for my mom and well now we have closure, but Babe is gone.

Look, I’ll never be able to forgive myself with the role that I played in all of this. And I know that Colin had nothing to do with Abe’s disappearance, but I mean, if he would’ve never assaulted him, and if I would’ve never helped him in that stupid revenge block, what ifs are pointless now? Okay. I look, believe me, I, I did my fair share of those when Colin and Sloan’s mother died, and it didn’t change a damn thing.

So now I know all we can do is just keep moving forward.

You know, you were right. You know, but while I was putting up those fires, I guess I was just trying to asage my guilty conscience. Did it work? No, it, it didn’t, and I know that there’s nothing I can do to make up for how I hurt you and your feeling.

I, I feel guilty because I saw your dad fall and I almost got to him, but it was too late and I wanted to jump in and save him, but I. You can’t swim. I, I understand. I know that the last thing my dad would’ve wanted was for you to lose your life while trying to save his. You did what you could, right? You called 9 1 1.

Yeah.

At least you know what happened to her. I’m actually glad that I ran into you so that. I can say thank you for that.

That’s very kind of, you very kind pay me a condolence call. You obviously care very deeply for your patience. Oh, mayor Carver was, wasn’t just a patient. I voted for him in every election. I then volunteered for him on his campaign. Before I ever met him, I felt as if I, I knew him personally. Hmm. Abe had an amazing talent for connecting with people.

Oh, he did. You’re very lucky to have had him for as long as you did. I keep telling myself that doesn’t make the loss any easier. We were supposed to be celebrating our first wedding anniversary. I was there. You know what? I was in the park the day that you got married. You were? Yes. I attended a, a Juneteenth barbecue and I just stumbled upon it to watch you exchanged your vows and then jump the broom.

Oh. It made me so, so happy to be a small part of that day o of your lives. I will never forget Abe Carver and I, I feel blessed to have known him.

What are you reading the statement from Nurse Whitley King? It seems like she was the last person to have seen my dad before he left the hospital. But if her timetable is right, there’s still all that time missing before he showed up at the docks. I mean, Eli, where could he have gone? We checked every security camera in Salem.

Nothing. There’s Ray. I’m not supposed to be looking at this house. Okay, that’s fine. No, I don’t wanna get you in trouble, babe. I’m not worried about that.

Bonnie. Oh, Bonnie, it’s so good to see you. You too, boss. Yeah. Wish you were under any other circumstances. Same. Hi. Oh, you too. Haven’t met. Sorry. This is Detective Jada. Hunter. Lonnie. Detective, please call me Jada. I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Abe was a wonderful man. Thank you. And. I really appreciate you working so hard on this case.

Okay. Listen, I’m sure that you didn’t, uh, just come all the way down here to Salem PD to say hello. Well, I was part of it. Right. So, uh, let’s just say hypothetically, if you wanted to take a look at the evidence and I wasn’t there, then, uh, hypothetically that would be okay. No harm, no foul. Thank you for understanding.

I’m sorry. That’s my boss from DC second. Okay.

Oh, I’m sorry. Yeah, I’m really sorry. We. I just wish we had better information on your father, Ray. I know that you’ve gone over this case a hundred different ways. I guess I thought if I just, if I saw the evidence for myself that it would help me to accept what happened. Yeah, but I don’t know. Truth is if even if we did figure it out, nothing’s gonna bring my dad back.

Let’s just get to the credits. So I’m hosting the Party of the Decade at Patterns. You plead it, right? And I expect by the ends of the evening you’ll be welcomed into the family’s exclusive. Oh, what do you get out of this? That’s for me to know, for you to find out.

All right here.

Jerry Prentice. What the hell?

That’s not my son’s name.

That means Pauline’s been lying to me. What else is she lying about?

I gotta get outta here. I gotta get outta here.

Are you still seeing Dr. Evans? Yeah. Therapy is a condition of my probation, but I mean, I would’ve gone even if I didn’t have to. So if she’s helping you, yeah, more than I could have hoped. I’m glad to hear that.

Yeah, and I’m glad to see you moving forward too. Look, Chanel Sweet Bits is a great place and I know that you’re gonna make it a success again. Yeah, I’m gonna try. I hope you found someone’s salad to replace me. I did. She’s conscientious, punctual. Trustworthy.

Sounds perfect.

I mean, her oatmeal, scot cheese, taste like hockey pucks, but we’re working on it. Well, what happened there? A friendly fire. Oh, uh, something like that. I’m actually headed home so that I can shower and change and make it back for the flower delivery tonight. Well, um, go look with everything tomorrow and please tell your mom how sorry I am.

I will. Thanks.

Well, I should be going, uh, nurse King. Before you do, could I ask you a favor? Uh, sure. Now, um, as you said, you may be the last person to talk to Abraham. Um, could you tell me his last words to you? Last words, my daughter Chanel. Told me he was confused. He didn’t even remember who I was. I, I was just wondering if you had the same experience.

Did you, you awake? How are you feeling?

Paulina? Excuse me. I know. I know who you are. You’re my wife.

He said. Your name. He did see, yeah. Y’all on some level, he, he must have remembered you.

Oh, thank you. Thank you. Your an angel. You have no idea what it means to me to hear that. Yes. Yes, of course. I, I, I better be going now off, off to work. Of course, of course, of course. And thank you. Thank you again for, for stopping by. Yes. Of

I hope your husband’s taking you somewhere special for your anniversary. Oh, it’s today. It is. Yeah. Happy anniversary. Thank you. But we agreed not to celebrate it until I am actually free. Oh,

what? What’s wrong? My boss just assigned me to a new case in Arizona. What she Explain your situation to him. I tried, but it turns out this case is tied to some other investigation that I’ve been working on for months. Oh, I can’t believe this. Baby, I’m sorry. I, hopefully it’s just for a day. I, I’m gonna do everything that I can to make sure that I’m back in time for his funeral.

But you, you know, I, I, I know you can’t make any promises, honey. No, I, I understand baby. You, you have a job to do, but I’m a supervised release. You agreed to look after me. Does this mean that I have to, I’ll take responsibility for you. Really? Yeah, of course. I’ll get on with corrections right away. Thank you Ray.

That’s the least I can do. When do you leave? They said that they’ll book me out on the latest possible flight, so at least we have some time to spend together tonight. Okay. Then we just have to make the most of the time that we have. Do you mind if we stop by Doug and Julie so I can say bye? Of course not.

Um, as long as we can make one other stop on the way.

Can I ask you something? Of course. I’m just wondering, since you were the last person to see my dad alive, how did he seem? What do you mean? Like did it seem like he was confused, upset? I’m not sure. Uh, I was pretty far away.

Well, did it look like he just tripped? Pretty much it, it, it all happened so fast. I, I don’t think he was in any pain. That’s what you were wondering. Yeah. You have that up. That’s good to know. Thanks. I wish I could tell you more. I, I wish I could have done more, but you, your dad seemed like a, a pretty special guy.

He was,

and I’m gonna miss him forever. Um, Theo, there’s something I need to tell you. We gotta get outta here. See what’s going on.

Abe, what are you doing? I’m leaving.

No, you’re not.

Oh, great. More cases. I’m sorry. I know, I know. You’re already swamped. Maybe if we had Eli and Lonnie back on the force, I’d be able to get through this stack. Not that I’m complaining. No, no, no, no. Complain away. I’m just saying. I mean, well, we have leash and in custody. Harris Michaels is under observation at the hospital, and then there’s Kristen and EJ Demere’s kidnapping situation, which is fishy to say the least.

Oh man. I just remember, oh no, you got one more assignment. Yeah. What now? Go home, watch some fireworks. Well, come on. No, that’s in order now. I am not saying you have to watch fireworks with me, but if you do happen to, wanna spend your well-deserved time off with yours, truly, you may, um, street location then.

Well, I do enjoy being. Discreet with you, Ms. Hernandez, you’re on.

Jerry, what is it, Theo? You’ve suffered such a terrible loss. And Theo, buddy Eli. Hi. Hi.

It’s a trying your dad, what are you guys doing here? I asked Eli to bring me here so I could see where the accident happened. I, I just, I didn’t know this would be here. So many people loved that.

Dear Jerry Apprentice. Yes. Jerry came because he felt bad about not being able to help dad when he fell into the river. But I, I told him that it’s not his fault that we don’t blame him. Thank you for saying that. Hey, why did you tell my husband you’re on that soap? Body and soul? Oh, it was a long time ago.

Mm-hmm. Well, if he’d known, he probably would’ve asked you for your autograph cuz he is secretly a fan of yours. Lonnie? No. Uh, well this is clearly a, uh, family moment, so I should just go, Jeremy, wait. Before Elia 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 deeply saw her half.

Hey baby. Oh Mama. So how’s the reopening of Sweet Bits coming along? Who is coming? What are you doing on? Figured you’d be there all night getting ready? Yeah, I just came back to shower and change really quick and I’m gonna head back and, um, but. I just, I, I really hate leaving you alone again. I haven’t been alone.

Not for the whole time anyway. Oh, who came over? Oh, Whitley uh, um, nurse King came by to pay her respects really Abe’s nurse. Mm-hmm. She had so many wonderful things to say about him that was nice of her. Mm-hmm. He wasn’t her patient for long, but he really seemed to touch her life. You’ve been lying to me.

Oh, Abe, what are you talking about? Sat theo on Body and Soul, and he was playing Lorna DeLorean’s Bodyguard. And I watched the credits and they didn’t say Theo Carver, it was Jerry Prentice. You see?

Jerry Preis is his stage name, stage name. Apparently there was another actor named Theo Carver. He didn’t wanna be confused with him. Anyway, body, his soul was pretty much his last role, and he moved to South Africa and open up his own business.

I don’t believe you. I don’t believe any of it.

You’re leaving tonight, believe me. I wish I didn’t have to this anniversary. That sucks. I told you, Theo, we’re not celebrating our anniversary. Not until I’m free. Dad wouldn’t want you to wait. You’re playing the dad card. Really, Theo? He’s kind of right. Lonny. What are you saying, babe? I have hours before I need to be at the airport.

Plus we haven’t had a night together, and I don’t know how long. Well, we don’t have to make it about our anniversary. I, I just want to enjoy every moment that I have with you. He’s right. You should listen to him. I’m gonna head over to Pauls Chanel’s reopening her bakery tomorrow, and I’m sure that your mom could use the comfort.

Thank you. There may or may not be lasagna left in the fridge, so it’s not entirely altruistic. Yes. Soon. Easy.

What’s that?

This is my old pile. Bruno dad got him from me at a carnival when I was six. I used to not be able to sleep unless I was holding this thing. I squeeze. I’m sorry, this little, no, I was ripped off. You lived. Lived a tough life.

I think Dad probably thought I was gonna carry all my stuffed animals with me to high school. You’d be very proud if I was gonna leave this here, then

you. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. I will be. I love you so much. I love you.

I knew I was gone, but

I don’t think I felt it until right now. I’m sorry, Lonnie. I’m so sorry.

Uh, so it sounds like you and Theo have big plans tonight. Where? Dinner, fireworks on tv. Maybe a game of Canasta. You can’t play Canasta with Theo. Why not? So guys a shark. He’ll take you for everything you’re worth. Okay, we’ll skip the canesta now. Tell me, uh, how’s the new employee at Sweet Bits working out?

She’s okay. Just okay. Well, she’s fine. She’s just not Talia. I, I ran into TA at the square and um, she wanted me to tell you how sorry she feels about Abe and she still feels so guilty. I’m deeply ashamed for her part in all of it. Well enough of that. What do you mean? I mean, Talia is a young woman who was under the spell of a, a very bad man.

So for obvious reasons, my heart goes out to her and I think she should let go of the guilt and the shame and. To focus on being stronger and wiser from now on, making a good life for herself. Oh, that’s, That’s very, uh, kind of you, I, I’ll tell her that if I ever see her again.

Hey, hey. What’s going on? Uh, I’ve been just here to give my parole officer my signed forms. You know, to show I’m doing my community service and my therapy, but I can’t seem to find her anywhere. I’ll take care of it for you. Oh, thanks. So how’s therapy going? Really well, Dr. Evans is the best. Well, I’m glad it’s working.

Yep. She even offered to help me find a job at the hospital when my probation ends. That’s amazing. Now you’ll finally get back to doing what you were trained to do. Yeah. What’s wrong?

And it’s just, I saw Chanel before and she told me she hired this new woman. Are you jealous? Jealous. No. For what? You miss working at the bakery? Yeah, actually I do a lot. I know Chanel never forgive me for what I did, and she shouldn’t, but I mean, GIA, I have to admit. What?

Every time I see her, I miss her too.

Oh, Abe, everything I’ve told you is the truth. No, no, it’s not. Something has felt wrong from the beginning. You know what? Maybe you should lay down, darling. I don’t want, I don’t want to lay down. I want you to tell me the truth right now. Or I’m gonna call the police.

Oh, there you go. Here you go. What did, what did Jesus do to me? Oh, it was just a mild sedative, darling, you drug me. Oh, you were, you were confused and upset. Oh, I can’t let you leave, darling. Not now. Not ever. You.

Toya. Hey, uh, sorry. I realized I never returned this. Oh, thanks. Yeah, I figured you need it. You know, from a replacement.

I am really grateful. To be here with you in this moment, but I miss my dad. I miss our beautiful babies. That reminds me Carver and Jules, they made this for you. I think we have a couple of artistic geniuses on our hands, um, for mommy. Ugh.

Carter did that. Yeah, I love it. Um, but I, I don’t have anything for you babe. You don’t need to get me anything for our anniversary. Just having you here with me. It’s the best gift I could ever receive. Just sucks that we don’t have more time together. I know, but we’ll be together soon enough. You’ll be free.

You’ll be a family again. Yeah, and I’ll never take that for granted again. My freedom, my beautiful family. Just having you guys close to me and not just in my heart. I love you. I love you too.

Thank you.

I was hoping you wouldn’t notice. What are you thinking about?

Last 4th of July, your father was sitting right there where you are now. We were watching. Tv. He was trying so hard to be so strong after Lani had just been sent to prison and you going back to South Africa.

We were watching the fireworks and I looked over

and there was this tear holding down his face.

See, isn’t this nice a perfect night, just the two of us.

Days of Our Lives logo

Update written by Joseph

Chanel goes home to Paulina and brings in flowers that they received. Chanel reads the card and that the flowers were from John and Marlena. Paulina calls them good friends who loved Abe so much and says they must be grieving as well, so she feels she should send them something. Chanel encourages her to just take care of herself right now.

John has a dream about finding Abe on the docks and then Abe saying goodbye. John then wakes up in a panic.

Whitley goes home with her mail and sees the front page of the newspaper about Abe being presumed dead. Whitley goes to throw it away but Abe comes in and questions what she is doing.

Eli goes to Theo’s room at the Salem Inn and hugs him. Theo asks if Eli has seen the newspaper saying that Abe is dead and that Rafe thinks so too. Theo cries that he keeps losing all the people he loves. Lani then arrives and says he hasn’t lost her as they embrace. Theo questions her being there. Lani explains that she hasn’t been released from prison but Eli convinced them to let her go for Abe’s funeral and she just has to wear an ankle monitor. Theo hugs her and is thankful that she is there. Lani tells him that she’s grateful to be there but she’s so sorry she couldn’t have been there when Abe first went missing. Eli assures that there is nothing she could have done that Steve, John, and Rafe didn’t try. Theo doesn’t get how no one saw Abe. Lani encourages him to be strong for each other because that is what Abe would’ve wanted as they hug.

Kayla joins Steve in the living room at home. Kayla comments on Steve not coming to bed last night. Steve knew he wouldn’t be able to sleep as he still can’t believe that Abe fell off the docks and drowned. Kayla brings up the evidence. Steve points out that evidence can be fabricated. Kayla asks if that’s what he thinks happened. Steve feels it’s too easy.

Marlena comments on John waking up in a sweat, calling out Abe’s name. John laments another damn nightmare. Marlena asks if he wants to talk about it. John explains that in the dream, he found Abe at the docks and then he was gone. John complains that Paulina trusted that he and Steve would find Abe, but he let her down and let Abe down.

Abe asks what Whitley is doing with the newspaper. She admits she was getting rid of it before he woke up because she didn’t want him to get upset. Abe responds that he is upset now because he doesn’t like being handled. Whitley tells him that something terrible happened at the docks as a local man who had gone missing was found in the water and now his poor family can have closure because they had been looking for him for weeks. Abe says he feels sorry for them, but he’s not falling apart, so he’d like to read that story for himself.

Chanel gets lasagna at the door that Maggie and Victor sent over. Chanel encourages Paulina to take a shower and get dressed but Paulina says for now, she just needs to sit here as she hugs Chanel.

Whitley tells Abe that she’s putting her foot down because the details are too upsetting and the doctors say they have to keep his stress levels to a minimum. Abe argues that he feels fine. Whitley claims she’s scared all the time. Abe apologizes as he knows this isn’t easy for her. Whitley says she just can’t lose him and talks about having to go to work and leaving him home alone. Abe assures that he feels fine and she doesn’t have to worry about him. Whitley decides to go get ready for work, insisting that she’s doing this for him and it’s what’s best for him.

Marlena feels John is being too hard on himself when he and Steve did everything they could to find Abe. John feels they must not have done enough. John states that the worst part is that they gave Paulina hope by telling her it doesn’t make sense how Abe could’ve gotten all the way to the docks without someone recognizing him. John acknowledges the hospital bracelet and his blood was on the scene as well as the eye witness.

Lani tells Theo about getting to see her kids and how they are too young to understand what’s going on. Fireworks begin going off outside. Theo realizes it’s the 4th of July which means it’s Eli and Lani’s anniversary. Theo asks them what’s wrong as they both seemed weird when he brought up their anniversary. Eli reveals that they’ve decided not to celebrate this year. Lani says it’s because of Abe. Theo argues that is a reason they should celebrate because of how happy Abe was for them. Lani cries that she can’t have champagne and a fancy dinner without Abe there. Theo apologizes for upsetting her. Eli hugs Lani as she cries. Eli suggests they head over to Paulina’s and invites Theo, but Theo says he’ll come later as he thinks Paulina will want to spend some time alone with Lani. Theo adds that he has something he has to do.

Steve asks Kayla if she really thinks Abe was physically capable of getting out of the hospital on his own. Kayla admits she didn’t think so at first but supposes it’s possible. Steve talks about the police putting out an APB and searching for weeks for one of the most well known people in the city but they get no reports until one day, the first person to see Abe sees him fall in to the water and drown and the case is closed. Steve feels something doesn’t add up. Steve questions how Abe would’ve survived the weeks before that since he suffered amnesia and was recovering from a head injury. Kayla asks if he still thinks Colin did it. Steve says maybe he kidnapped Abe, but he was in jail most of the time that Abe was missing. Steve doesn’t understand how Abe didn’t end up in social services. Kayla brings up Abe being instrumental in helping the homeless and says this is scaring her. Theo arrives at the door. Kayla hugs him and says she’s so glad he came over. Steve hugs him and says he’s so sorry. Steve calls it a tough day and apologizes that he and John didn’t come through for them. Theo says they did their best and he just came to thank them for the donation to Abe’s charity. Kayla talks about how they really loved Abe and they love Theo so they are here for him, always.

John thinks back to a past time with Abe. Marlena asks where he was just now. John responds that he was thinking of the moment he found out that he wasn’t the person he thought he was and how his whole life changed in an instant and Abe was there. John declares that his friendship with Abe was the one thing that was still the same in his life. John wishes he could’ve been as good a friend to Abe as he had always been to him. Marlena encourages that he was and that Abe always knew that. John complains that he was so damn sure they were going to find Abe and that he was being held against his will, but he was so damn wrong.

Abe turns on the TV as Whitley tells him that she’s off to work now. She asks if he’s still mad at her. Abe responds that he’s not mad and he just gets a bit lonely when she’s gone. She thought he was catching up on Body and Soul. Abe remarks that it would be nice to have people who talk back and suggests Theo could come hang out for awhile. Whitley tells him that Theo had to travel back to South Africa. Abe questioning his son leaving town without saying goodbye. Whitley claims that Theo stopped by but Abe was resting and she didn’t want to disturb him. Abe argues that she should’ve woken him up. Whitley agreed and apologizes. Abe then asks about Chanel and if she can come see him.

Paulina tells Chanel that she just keeps thinking about the heartache she caused Abe with her secrets and lies. Chanel encourages that she more than made up for it with her love as Abe was crazy about her. Eli and Lani then show up at the door, surprising Chanel.

Kayla encourages Theo to remember to eat and that they are there if he ever feels alone or needs to talk. Theo thanks them and thinks he’s going to be okay, especially now that his sister is here.

Chanel tells Paulina that she won’t believe this. Lani then enters, shocking Paulina as they embrace.

John apologizes to Marlena for talking about and thinking about himself when Marlena is going through this too. Marlena states that it is hitting her hard too, but that doesn’t mean he can’t talk about how he’s feeling. Marlena says the only way to get through this is to talk about their feelings. Marlena thinks she has an idea.

Kayla tells Theo that Paulina must have been thrilled to see Lani and is thankful to Eli for bringing her home. Theo points out that it’s only temporary. Kayla is glad the whole family will be together for the funeral. Theo brings up how when his mom died, he got to say goodbye but his dad just disappeared. Theo cries that it doesn’t make sense to him.

Paulina tells Lani that she’s so grateful that she’s here, even if it is for a terribly sad reason. Lani responds that she’s grateful too even if it is for a short time. Lani states that part of her doesn’t feel like Abe is really gone as it’s so surreal. Paulina complains that the way it happened just doesn’t make sense to her. Paulina says maybe that’s because they didn’t get to say goodbye to him or see him. Paulina asks how they can have a proper funeral without a body.

Whitley informs Abe that Chanel intended to come over but she’s been swamped at the bakery. Abe guesses that means another day of staring at the walls. Whitley encourages him about watching Body and Soul.

Eli says there is no telling when or if Abe’s body will ever be found. Lani points out that they didn’t waste any time declaring Abe dead even though there’s no evidence proving it as fact. Lani wants to see the evidence and tells Eli that she wants to go to the police station. Eli notes that’s against policy but says given the circumstances, he doesn’t think Rafe would mind. Lani asks to go now but Paulina argues that it’s her anniversary so she shouldn’t be spending it at the police station, especially when nothing she finds there can bring back Abe. Lani insists that she has to see the evidence for herself or she’ll never sleep again. Paulina knows there is no changing her mind. Chanel decides to walk Lani and Eli out as she has to get back to the bakery. Chanel asks if Paulina will be okay by herself. Paulina responds that she better get used to it.

John and Marlena go to Steve and Kayla’s where they are surprised to see Theo. Marlena hugs Theo and says it’s so good to see him and that she’s so sorry about Abe. Theo tells John that he knows how hard he and Steve worked to find Abe and he’s very grateful. Steve calls Abe one of the best men and says they loved him a lot. Theo says Abe knew that and gets emotional. Marlena asks if he wants to talk. Theo thinks he should get going and mentions that Lani is there. Marlena sends their love to Lani and Paulina. Kayla says to call if there’s anything they can do. Theo says it was nice to see them all again. Steve tells him to come back any time as Theo then exits. Steve and John complain that they should have found Abe. Marlena feels they are blaming themselves too much when they did everything they could and did their very best.

Whitley tells Abe that she wishes she could stay and watch Body and Soul with him but she has to get to work, so she tells him to have fun and exits.

Eli brings Lani to the police station and asks if she’s okay. Lani says it’s just really weird being back here with so many memories, mainly meeting Eli and falling in love. They talk about getting married and living happily ever after as they kiss.

John agrees that he and Steve busted their ass to find Abe. John thinks he’s just blaming himself because it’s a lot easier than accepting the fact that Abe is gone. Steve feels the same. John tells Steve about his dream of Abe. John mentions that in the dream, Abe just walked away from him and didn’t fall in the water. Marlena asks about the end of the dream and for more details. John explains that in the dream, he was going to call Paulina but Abe said he couldn’t stay and then said goodbye, turned around and walked off. Marlena feels something is wrong. Steve agrees, repeating that Abe had amnesia and questions how he survived all those weeks with no one seeing him or looking after him. John brings up the witness being the only person to see him which means Abe had to get all the way down to the dock without anyone seeing him. Steve declares that they need to get back to work.

Lani and Eli go over the evidence in Abe’s case in the interrogation room. Lani recalls when she first came to Salem and being determined to prove that Abe was her biological father but she was wrong. Eli encourages that Abe is her father in every way that counts. Lani goes over Jerry’s witness statement and sees his photo which she notes looks like a professional photo. Eli notes that Jada dug that up and it turns out that Jerry is an actor.

Abe continues watching Body and Soul where Jerry shows up as an actor in the show. Abe recognizes him and questions it being Theo.

Whitley shows up at Paulina’s door. Paulina asks what she’s doing there.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Mama, look how beautiful mama.

Oh, just, just put, put a bit all the, okay.

All right. And here is the note.

You can read it.

Okay. Dear Paulina and Chanel, we are very sorry for your unimaginable loss. You are in our thoughts and we are here for you. Whatever you need, always love John and Marlin.

Such good friends. I’ve loved Abe so much. I’m sure they must be grieving too. Um, I should send them something.

No, mama. Right now you just need to take care of yourself. Okay.

Come on buddy. You gotta be out here somewhere.

Is that you buddy?

Hello, John.

I knew that I’d find you. Oh, I gotta tell Paulina. I’m sorry, John. I can’t stay. What do you mean you can’t stay? Goodbye old friend.

No, no, no. Don’t believe. Don’t go Abraham. Abraham. Don’t go.

What are you doing with that paper?

Did you, did you see the paper? They’re saying that my dad is dead. The, they’re saying that Commissioner Hernandez thinks so too. All the people that I need and love, I I just keep losing them. You haven’t lost me, Theo. I’m right here. Hi.

Like Sam through the hour class. So are the of

So does this mean No, I, I haven’t been released from prison, but Eli convinced the warden to grant me a furlough for dad’s funeral. I just have to wear this, honey. Thank God you’re here. I love you. I’m so grateful I could be here. I’m just, I’m so sorry, Theo. I wasn’t here when dad first went missing, and I wish we could have waited together or maybe I could have helped find him.

No, babe, we went over this. There’s nothing that you could have done that Steve, John, or Raf didn’t try. Helis, right? Everybody was looking for him, and even though he’s the most well-known man in Salem, nobody saw him on a single soul. I just, I don’t get it money. I don’t get it either. Hey, but we have to be strong for each other.

Okay. And we have to take care of each other. Okay. Because that is what dad would’ve wanted. Okay. I love you.

You didn’t even come to bed last night. Well, I knew I wouldn’t be able to sleep,

just be going over this stuff again. I still can’t believe Abe just walked off the docks, fell in the water, and drowned even though all the evidence points to that evidence can be fabricated. Is that what you think happened? It’s just too easy. Sweetness. It’s too pat.

Oh, thank you. You woke up drenched in sweat, calling out Abe’s name. Yeah. They’re one of those damn nightmares.

Do you wanna talk about it?

Yeah.

I was down at the docks and I found. And we, we were, we were face to face. I was talking to him and before I could call Paulina to tell him that he was okay, he was gone. And I, I couldn’t stop cock. I tried it. I, uh, I couldn’t stop on my eye.

No wonder the dream was so upsetting for you. Paulina trusted that Steve and I were gonna find him, and I let her down.

Let him down.

So, did you hear me? What are you doing with that paper? I was, I was getting rid of it before you woke up. Why? Because I didn’t want you to get upset. Why am upset now? I don’t like being handled. Okay. I’ll tell you something terrible happened down at the docks. A local man who had gone missing was found in the water.

He drown? Yes. Yes. Well, at least now his poor family can have closure for weeks. They had been looking for him. Well, I, I feel sorry for them. And for him, but I’m not falling apart. And now I’d like to read that story for myself.

Lasagna from the bistro, from Maggie and Victor, Kiki. How nice we can have it for dinner with the green beans that Julie brought over.

What, just, uh, don’t you think it’s maybe time for you to take a shower and get dressed? Not yet, darling. Not right now. Right now I getting dressed reminds me of just wanting to look my best for my sweet husband, and without him here I. No, I just, I just need to sit here right now. Come, come sit with me.

Sit with me.

No. Excuse me. I’m sorry, Abe. I’m putting my foot down. The details are just too upsetting and the doctor said that we have to keep your stress levels low, you know, to a minimum, so we avoid another seizure. I feel fine. Well, you felt fine before the last one, didn’t you? You know, you’re not the only one going through this.

You know, I’m, I’m, I’m scared. I’m scared all the time.

I, I’m sorry. I, I, I wasn’t thinking, I, I, I know this is, this isn’t easy for you. I, I just can’t lose you. Okay. I get it. I get it. I’m, I’m sorry. Then, then I have to go to work and I have to leave you at home alone. Look, I feel, I feel fine. You, you don’t have to worry about me. Okay. Well, I, I better go and get ready now.

Get ready to go to work.

And believe me, darling, I’m doing this for you. This is what’s best for you.

You are being too hard on yourself. You and Steve did everything you could to find a, obviously we didn’t do enough. Right?

You know what the worst part is?

We gave Pauline hope. We told her, it just doesn’t make any sense how he could have got from wherever he was all the way down to the dock without somebody recognizing him and calling the cops. Don’t you believe that? I still believe that. I don’t know how he could have done it or why he fell in the water, but then you got the hospital bracelet.

His name’s on it. The blood. Most important. You have an eyewitness, the only person who saw him these last two weeks. Finally, somebody sees Abe. And what happens the next minute he falls off the dock and drowns in the river.

So you, you got to see Joseph Carter? I did. Uh, I cannot tell you how wonderful it was just to hold my babies and my arms without a prison matron. Just watching me like a hawk. Yeah. They’re with my mom now. We do wish we could have brought them, but obviously they’re, they’re too young to deal with all this.

Right. But we, we know how much they left their grandpa. Yeah. And we did tell them what happened, but they didn’t seem to understand, which is a, a good thing for now.

They seem to be starting fireworks early.

Oh my God. 4th of July. It’s, it’s your anniversary.

What’s wrong? Are you guys fighting? No. No. Theo No we’re not. You’ve given everything that’s been thrown at us this year. I think, uh, we’re doing pretty damn well. So why did you both seem so we’re gonna say it was your anniversary cause we decided that we’re not gonna celebrate this year. Because of Dad Lonnie.

That is the reason why you should celebrate, you know how happy he was about you and Eli, how, how he love that you two got married and how he was over the moon when the babies were born. I know, I know Theo, but to have champagne and a fancy dinner without him there, I can’t do it. I’m sorry. I can’t do it.

I’m sorry, Lonnie, I didn’t mean to upset you. Come here. Yeah. I think we better our head over to Pauline is You wanna come with us? No, I’ll, um, I’ll come over later. I think she’s gonna wanna spend some time alone with you. Yeah. And there’s something I have to do. What do you mean to Pat? Well, first of all, do you really think Abe was physically capable of getting outta the hospital on his own?

At the time I didn’t think so, but I suppose it’s possible. Okay. Well, S AA did wander off on his own. Salem PD puts out an a p b, and for weeks the cops and a whole army of volunteers search for one of the best known men in the city. And no one reports seeing anyone they even think might have been a and one day, weeks later.

The first person to lay eyes on Ave sees him at the exact moment. He walks into the water and drowns, and then the case is closed, all tied up with the ribbon. Something doesn’t add up, baby.

So you’re saying that if egg was so confused and so out of it, he just, he just walked off a dock into the river then how did he survive the weeks before that? No, he was, uh, not only suffering from Amnesia, he was recovering from a head injury. So what did he negotiate the streets on his own. Would you still think that it was Colin Bedford that did it?

I know maybe he kidnapped Abe, I don’t know. But he was in jail most of the time. Abe was missing if someone wasn’t looking after Abe. I don’t understand how he didn’t end up in social services. And thanks to Abe Salem is very proactive in helping the homeless. You know, you’re really, you really kind of scaring me now.

Oh, I’ll get in.

Theo. Theo, I’m so glad you came over. Oh, Steve, look. Look at Theo. Hey man. Okay. I’m so sorry.

This is, uh, this is a tough day. I, I am sorry that, uh, John and I didn’t come through for your dad and for you. You did your best. I just came to say thank you for the donation you made in my dad’s name to the autism charity. Well, we, we know how important that charity was to your dad. We were happy to do it.

And we really loved your dad, and we love you, and we are here for you.

Well, your executives and your long lunch breaks. Mm-hmm. How you feeling? I tell you, I feel a lot better when I get these bullet fragments outta me. Yeah. How you doing these days?

Hey, hey look, I’m not trying to pry, I’m asking as a friend who’s friend. Mine are Romans. Both of you. I don’t want either one of you to get hurt.

What were you just, now

I was thinking of the moment that I found out I wasn’t the person I thought I was. And how my whole life that I knew I changed in an instant

and there was Abe, one thing in my life was still the same, and it was my friendship with Abraham.

Dammit, doc, I just wish that I could have been as good a friend to him as he’s always had been to me. You were, you were. He always knew that about you. Dammit, doc. I was so damn sure that we were gonna find him. I, I was so damn sure that someone had taken him for whatever reason, they were holding him against his will and, and,

And I was so damn wrong.

Well, I’m off to work now.

I Are you still mad at me? No, not mad. I just, uh, I just get a bit lonely when you’re gone. Oh, well I thought you were catching up on body and Soul. I am, but it would be nice to have people who talk back, you know, I was thinking, couldn’t feel come over and hang out for a while. Oh, I forgot to tell you, uh, Theo had to travel back to South Africa.

What? My son left town without saying goodbye. Well, he stopped by on his way to the airport, but you were resting and I didn’t wanna disturb you, but I would’ve wanted to say goodbye. You should have woken me up. I, I know. I, I, I, you’re right. I, I, I’m sorry. What? What, what about your daughter? Huh? Chanel. My stepdaughter, couldn’t she come by and see me?

I just keep thinking of the heartache got brought to Abraham with my secrets and lies. Mama, you more than made up for whatever heartache you caused him by all the love and support you gave him. He was so crazy about you.

Look at that be.

This is delicious. I know things are hard right now, Theo, but you have to remember to eat. I’ll try. And you know what? If you ever are feeling alone or you wanna talk to somebody, we’re here for you. I know that. Thank you. But I think I’m gonna be okay, especially now that my sister’s here. Mama, you’re not going to believe this.

No, but. What is it now of a, let me guess, a cactus. Well, Eli does say I can be a bit prickly if I haven’t had my morning coffee. Mommy.

Oh. Hi, mama. I’m home. My baby girl, my darling, my precious girl.

Come on, man. What’s the matter with you? What? What, honey? What? I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. From the moment I woke up here, all I’ve been thinking about and talking about is myself, and I know you’re going through this too, sweetheart. It’s hitting me hard too. It doesn’t mean that you can’t talk to me about how you’re feeling.

Look, the only way that we’re going to get through this, and I I, I mean beyond the two of us way, we’re all going to get through this is talk about our feelings, share our feelings. In fact, I think I have an idea.

Paulina must have been thrilled to see Lonnie. God bless Eli for bringing her home. It’s just a furlough. Well, I think it’s really important that your whole family is together for the funeral. Yeah.

When my mom died, I was able to say bye to her, but. My dad, he just, he just went away. He just disappeared and then drowned. I just, I, it, it doesn’t make sense to me. I,

I am so grateful that you’re here, Lonnie. I’m so very, very grateful, even if it is for such a terrible, sad reason. Yeah, I’m grateful too. I am beyond grateful to be free, even if it is for a short time so that I can be here with my mama and my sister and my brother. Thing is, um, some part of me just, it just doesn’t, uh, just don’t feel that.

Dad is really gone. Mm-hmm. It’s so surreal. Yes, it is. It is. And oh, the way it happened. Oh Lord Lonnie, it just doesn’t make sense to me. Maybe, I suppose partly because we, we didn’t get to say goodbye to him. Never got to see him touch him,

and how the hell are we supposed to have a proper home going when we don’t have a body?

Well, Chanel was intending to come over to visit with her. Step, pop, pop, step, pop, pop. Oh yeah. That’s a little, uh, pet name that she has for you. You love it when she calls you that and yet I cringe on you. Say it anyway. As I was just getting ready to say, Chanel has just been so swamped at the bakery, so, so another day is staring at the walls.

What, how luckily for you body and soul is fitting to get better. You’re about to meet Lorna. She’s back Who? That’s Lorna. Lorna is just one of the great soap bitches of all times. And trust me when I tell you, you gonna love to hate her. Check it out.

I know that it would help us all to accept what happened, but given a case like this, there’s just no telling when or. Even if his body will ever be found and yet, and yet what? Sweetheart? They didn’t waste any time declaring him dead, did they? Even though there’s no evidence to prove it for a fact.

Lonnie, no, Eli. I wanna see that evidence for myself. I wanna go down to the station. That’s against policy Mia, but you know, given the circumstances, I’m sure Ray wouldn’t, he wouldn’t mind and I don’t care if he would mind. Can we go now? Oh, wait a minute, darling. Lanie you. You’re out of prison today. It’s your anniversary.

You shouldn’t be spending at a police station, especially since nothing you find down there at that police station will bring a back to us. Mama. I have to see that evidence for myself. Or I will never sleep again. Paulina, look, when she gets like this, you just got I know. I know. There’s no changing her mind.

Tell me something. I don’t know. Thank you.

We’ll be back as soon as we can. Well, I’m gonna walk out with you. I need to head back over to the baby. You call me if you need anything. Okay? You gonna be all right alone. I think I should get used to it, don’t you? Hey, you too. I’m just about to call you. Look who’s here. Oh. Oh my goodness. Oh, good to see you.

I’m so sorry about your dad. Thank you. Good to see you kiddo. Be on. Sorry. I know how hard you work to find him. And you too. I’m very grateful. Dad was a good man. He one of the best. We loved him a lot. He knew that. He used to say. He used to say, okay. Do you wanna talk about this? No, actually, um, I think I should get going now.

Are you sure? You’re all right. Lonnie’s. Someone furlough. I’ll be fine. Lonnie’s here. Please, please give her a love and, and send her love to Paulina as well. Tell her to call us if there’s anything we can do. I will. It was nice to see you all again. Yeah, you too Sweet. Take kid. Come back anytime. Okay.

Goodness. Poor kid.

Damnit. Should have found him. You should have found him. We should have found him. You too are blaming yourselves entirely too much for this. You did everything you could. You searched and searched. Come on. You left no stone unturned. You did your very best. And I’m sure if were here, He would say the same thing.

It’s burned.

So that’s Lorna. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Like I said, one of the greatest soaper bitches of all time, so large than life, so over the top. So outrageous that Susan Lucci and Heather Lockney are fired, their agents. Oh. Oh, okay. I wish I could sit here and watch with you five more minutes, but then I’ll be late for work.

Happy watching. Thanks. Oh, oh, oh. When I come home, I’m gonna need to hear all about your favorite cat fight.

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s the most unstoppable of.

You okay?

Yeah,

it’s just, it’s really weird being back here. So many memories.

Mainly meeting my new partner. And falling in love with him, and him falling even more in love with you. Okay. And, uh, they got married. Mm-hmm. And they lived happily ever after. Okay. Okay. Fine. With a few challenges, but nothing that they couldn’t handle. Mm. Because they were tough. So tough. And so enough,

uh, you know, doc, you’re right. Steve and I, we busted our ass. We did our damnedest to find Abe. You know what I’m thinking? I’m thinking that maybe I’m just blaming myself because it’s a hell of a lot easier than accepting the fact that he’s gone. Yeah. It’s the same for me. Yeah. Hey, did I tell you I had another dream about him this morning?

I dreamt that I found him down on the docks, but he just walked away from me. Didn’t go in the water. He just walked away from me. You didn’t tell me that. I thought I did. Why don’t you tell me about the end of the dream, what, whatever details you can remember.

I was getting on my phone to call Paulina and

I hear Abe say that he was sorry that he couldn’t stay. I said, what do you mean by that? And he just said, goodbye, old friend. And he turned around and he walked off into the fog and I kept calling on him and he was gone.

What is it?

I was thinking that maybe just, maybe this is not really about John’s guilt, the dream. I mean, maybe it’s about. John’s something that, there’s something wrong here. That’s what I’ve been saying. Abe was injured, he had amnesia. How did he survive all those weeks? With no one seeing him looking after him.

Yeah. And this, this witness, the one and only person to see him is the one who watches him go in the water. That means eight had to get from wherever he was all the way down to the dock without anyone seeing him. We need to get back to work.

This is a lab report matching the blood from the pylon to AIDS blood sample that was on record at the hospital. D. Exact match. Exact match. Hmm.

When I first came to Salem, I just, I knew I was my biological father and I was determined to prove it. My mom said, you two weren’t together very long. She didn’t even tell me how you guys met. Well, she almost crashed into my car on her way to singing Friend’s Wedding Dr. Marlena Evans, they went to college together.

Yeah,

she, um, she doesn’t know about you either, Bonnie, didn’t you, you ever wonder who your father was? Of course I did. Probably thought he was some dent.

When your mother left Hannah,

I had no idea she was pregnant.

How could she not tell me I had a daughter?

I was wrong about the d n. But Abe, Abe is your father in every way that counts.

What else is in there? Here’s a statement from Jerry Prentice. He saw your dad go in the water.

What’s this? It looks like a professional photo. Yeah, detective Hunter dug that up. Turns out Jerry Prentice is an actor.

Oh, well that’s a little better.

You wanted to see me, Ms. DeLorean?

It’s about time you got here. I have a job for you.

What kind of job?

I need someone who could pretend to be the true and rightful heir to the DeLorean fortune, and that is where you come in.

Abe: Theo?

Paulina: Oh, Nurse King, what?

Days of Our Lives Update

Days of Our Lives logo

Update written by Joseph

Nicole tells Eric that she knows it must have been difficult for him to be in the hospital with her, so she wants him to know it means a lot. Eric is glad he could be there for her as they hug. They get close until Eric decides he should go get her food because she’s looking pale and quickly exits the room.

Leo enters the wine cellar in the DiMera Tunnels and finds EJ and Kristen tied up. EJ never thought he’d say thank God that Leo’s here. Leo questions what is going on here. Kristen and EJ explain that Megan did this to them and have held them captive for weeks. Leo talks about how he knew Megan was up to something, so he followed her here. Leo calls it an underground bondage dungeon while Kristen assures that’s not what this is. Leo asks why Megan did this to them. EJ starts to reveal that they found out what Megan was planning, but then he begins suffering memory loss from the injection and says that he doesn’t remember.

Megan arrives at the Bistro and welcomes everyone. Megan apologizes for the delay and says that to make this a really special night, she brought a bottle of Stefano’s favorite champagne and it took a little longer than expected but she’s here now. Megan is so glad they are all here too because there is nothing in this world more important than family. Megan adds that she’s so grateful that they have all welcomed her back. Megan is thrilled to host this gathering for her newfound brother and his gorgeous bride to be. Megan says she just knows that Stefano is smiling down on them now, happy to see them all together again. Megan admits that she knows they have their differences but says they overcome them because that’s what families do. Chad mutters to Stephanie that Megan’s an assassin and that’s kind of hard to overcome. Megan talks about all the lost years they could’ve spent together but says she looks forward to the many happy years to come. Megan calls for everyone to grab a glass of champagne to toast the couple. Harris Michaels then arrives. Megan pretends to be shocked and asks what the hell he’s doing there. Harris then pulls his gun out, scaring everyone in the room.

Li exits Dr. Rolf’s lab with Harris Michaels’ phone which rings as Kate calls. Li remarks to himself that he’s sorry to Kate because Harris is unavailable as he’s under new management and he and Megan have already given him his new assignment to eliminate Stefan DiMera.

Harris says he’s sorry to interrupt the festivities and orders everyone to move to one side of the room. Chad questions what he’s doing. Harris responds that he’s here to eliminate a threat which Chad questions. Megan claims that she’s the threat and that Harris is there to kill her.

Eric brings Nicole her food and says he’s looking out for her and the baby. Nicole remarks that if only the baby’s father was that attentive. Nicole appreciates Eric’s help but argues that EJ should be the one doing this instead of being on some secret business trip where he can’t even answer his phone. Eric says he’s sure EJ has his reasons. Nicole complains that they won’t be good enough as it’s like he’s forgotten what’s important. Nicole remarks that the baby isn’t even born yet and EJ has already abandoned them.

Leo questions EJ not remembering. EJ tries to think but says it’s like the memory evaporated from his brain. EJ asks what Kristen thinks. Kristen responds that she thinks Megan injected them with something to make them forget her plan. Kristen states that she has no idea about any of it. Leo says he may have an idea and asks if it has something to do with his son Dimitri. Leo brings up Dimitri proposing to Gwen and thinking that he and Megan have an ulterior motive. Leo asks if any of that rings a bell. Kristen says it does sound familiar.

Li walks through the town square and stands outside the Bistro. Li states that it’s all happening upstairs and that soon, Stefan will be dead and he’ll be there to pick up the pieces with Gabi. Rafe then approaches Li and questions what he’s doing there.

Megan argues that Harris wants revenge for everything she did to him and even came to her house to threaten her. Dimitri questions why she didn’t tell him. Megan claims that she thought he was all talk and didn’t think he was this deranged. Harris says that’s enough. Dimitri tells Harris that if he wants to hurt his mother, he’ll have to get through him first. Megan tells Dimitri to stay out of this. Harris tells them to relax as he’s not there to kill either one of them. Harris then announces he’s here to kill Stefan. Gabi questions that while Stefan says he doesn’t understand as Harris doesn’t even know him. Harris assures Stefan that it’s nothing personal and he’s just following orders. Stefan asks who’s orders. Johnny whispers to Wendy that they can’t just watch him do this. Wendy tries to call the police but Harris fires a shot and orders her to drop it. Harris declares that the next person he sees with a phone will not get a warning. Harris says this can go one of two ways, everybody does as their told and survive or he can take out as many people as he has to in order to complete his mission. Stefan questions how he is a threat to Harris. Gabi asks who would consider Stefan a threat and argues that it has to be EJ, who is conveniently not at the party and has been plotting against him the entire time. Stefan asks Harris if it’s true that EJ hired him and demands an answer. Harris responds that if he must know, it wasn’t EJ. Stefan asks who he is working for then. Harris then announces the man who wants Stefan dead is Li Shin.

Li tells Rafe that he didn’t hear him sneaking up on him. Rafe says he’s just going to his sister’s engagement party. Li points out that he’s a little late. Rafe says things have been hectic at the police station. Li says he’s sorry to hear about Abe. Rafe points out that Li still hasn’t answered his question and asks what he’s doing lurking about. Li argues that he’s not lurking and was just passing through. Rafe notes that Li seems a little nervous to be just passing through. Rafe guesses that Li was thinking about going up there, crashing the party, and creating a scene. Li then tells Rafe that he’s right.

Leo asks Kristen why Megan and Dimitri are using Gwen. Kristen complains that she doesn’t remember. Leo urges her to want to help Gwen. EJ thinks Megan’s plan is a lot more sinister and high stakes, like it’s life and death. Leo asks if he’s saying Gwen is in danger. EJ feels like someone else is the main target, but he doesn’t know who and it’s just a gut feeling. Leo calls them useless. Kristen points out that he still hasn’t untied them. Leo suggests she ask nicely. Kristen yells at him to do it now.

Nicole apologizes to Eric as she’s sure the last thing he wants to hear is her complaining about EJ. Eric says it’s okay as she has every right to. Nicole tells Eric that he doesn’t have to stay and shouldn’t feel obligated to. Eric says he doesn’t and feels that Nicole shouldn’t be alone right now. Nicole repeats that the cramps were nothing and reminds him that Tripp said she and the baby are fine. Nicole adds that Harold is there if she needs anything. Eric asks if she’s sure. Nicole says she is and thanks him again. Nicole tells him that she’s grateful that she can still count on him. They hug and this time they end up kissing. Eric stops and says they can’t do this, reminding her that he’s with Sloan and she’s with EJ. Nicole asks where EJ is then. Nicole apologizes and says she just felt that old pull between them and the old feelings of being abandoned and worthless. Eric argues that she shouldn’t feel either and calls EJ a jackass for doing this to her. Eric brings up if the baby was his but then apologizes and says that’s not helpful. Nicole responds that it’s okay and that Eric would’ve been the perfect father. Nicole adds that he still can be if things work out with him and Sloan. Eric thanks her for saying that. Nicole calls it the truth. Nicole states that she has some hard truths to face with EJ if she ever sees him again. Nicole doesn’t know if she can forgive EJ for disappearing when she needed him the most. EJ and Kristen then emerge from the tunnels, shocking Nicole.

Gabi questions Harris saying that Li put him up to this. Harris asks if that’s so hard to believe as Li apparently still has something for her. Gabi questions thinking that killing Stefan is the way to win back her love. Harris thinks it’s more of if he can’t have her, no one can. Megan says in her head that Dr. Rolf programmed Harris to think he’s working solely for Li, just as she planned. Wendy questions believing Harris and argues that her brother would never hire someone to kill Stefan because he’s not a murderer. Stefan brings up that Li did pull the plug on him while he was in a coma. Wendy calls that different and a mistake, arguing that a split second decision is different than plotting to murder someone in cold blood. Wendy argues that Gabi knows that’s not Li but Gabi agrees with Stefan that Li has a history of trying to eliminate his competition by any means necessary. Wendy insists that Li accepted that Gabi moved on and he didn’t even fight the divorce. Johnny reminds Wendy that Li didn’t want her to come to the party. Wendy thinks that was just about being loyal to him. Johnny feels he didn’t want her to get caught in the crossfire.

Rafe tells Li to stay away from the party because he’s caused Gabi enough pain already. Li says he just ran in to Wendy and Johnny as they were heading in and then ran in to Gabi and Stefan. Li states that he tried to be happy for them but he can’t get out of his head what could’ve been because he loved Gabi so much and still does. Rafe understands because he’s been in a similar situation but tells Li that what he and Gabi had before is over, so he needs to accept that. Li responds that he can’t just will away feelings. Li argues that even now, knowing how happy Gabi and Stefan are just breaks his heart.

Stefan questions Harris about this being true. Harris asks why he would lie. Chad questions what happened to turning his life around and wanting redemption for everything he did. Chad then guesses that this isn’t Harris and that he’s brainwashed again but this time by Li. Gabi agrees since Li brainwashed Stefan in to forgetting that he loved her and now Harris in to being his assassin. Dimitri asks Gwen who hasn’t been brainwashed in this town. Gwen whispers that it’s kind of a thing here. Harris yells at everyone to shut up. Harris says he doesn’t know what they are talking about and only knows that he has orders from Li to kill Stefan and it’s about that time.

Nicole questions EJ being here. EJ kisses her and hugs her. Nicole asks when he got back in town. EJ reveals that he never left as Megan locked him in the tunnels. Kristen points out that she locked both of them in there. Nicole questions why she would do that. EJ responds that they don’t know but they are pretty sure that Megan gave them something that is affecting their memory. Nicole asks how they escaped. Kristen reveals that Leo Stark found them and set them free. Eric questions what Leo was doing down there. Kristen says she has no idea as she doesn’t remember.

Leo remains in the wine cellar and argues that Megan must be using this as her base of operations, so there has to be something down here. Leo searches the wine cellar and finds a bottle of wine but tells himself to focus as he has to find proof that Dimitri is up to no good since that’s the only way to stop Gwen from getting hurt.

Chad pleads with Harris to stop and not do this. Harris responds that orders are orders. Stephanie argues that he doesn’t have to follow them and urges him to fight whatever Li did to him. Chad tells Harris not to listen to Li’s voice in his head and listen to his own because deep down, he knows this is wrong. Stephanie reminds Harris of when he set the bomb off at her apartment in Seattle and how he felt terrible after because of what Megan did to him. Megan tells her not to remind the man with the gun how much he hates her. Gabi pleads with Harris not to let Li do this and argues that he’s not a murderer. Gwen points out that he technically is as she’s read his case and there were several incidents. Gabi tells Gwen that she’s not helping, so she apologizes. Gabi suggests Harris call Li, so that she can talk him out of this.

Li thanks Rafe and admits that he would’ve just humiliated himself at Gabi and Stefan’s party, so he’s glad that Rafe stopped him. Rafe says he didn’t do it for him. Li says either way, he helped him so he appreciates it. Li promises that he is now heading straight home. Li tells Rafe to give his congratulations to the happy couple. Rafe says goodnight and walks away. Li hopes by the time Rafe gets up there, it will be too late and the job will have been completed.

Gabi pleads with Harris to let her call Li. Wendy agrees that they can make Li see what a mistake this is. Harris orders Gabi to drop the phone, so she does. Gabi cries that she didn’t want to hurt Li but her heart belongs to Stefan who is the only person who ever understood her and loved her. Gabi declares that if he shoots Stefan, he has to shoot her too because she can’t live without him. Harris responds that he’s sorry but it has to be done. Rafe then bursts in with his gun and orders Harris to drop the gun. When Harris turns to face Rafe, Gabi jumps on his back. They struggle until Harris fires a shot from his gun, shooting Megan. Dimitri rushes to her side. Gabi then knees Harris in the groin, dropping him to the ground. Gabi takes his gun and hands it to Stefan. Dimitri worries about Megan’s loss of blood as she begins to pass out. Gwen says she’s going to get help and rushes out.

Li returns home and wonders why he hasn’t heard from Megan since Stefan should be dead by now. Li imagines Gabi coming to tell him that Harris killed Stefan and them getting back together.

Rafe and Chad handcuff Harris to a chair as Harris complains that he has a job to do. Gabi informs Rafe that Harris said Li ordered him to kill Stefan. Chad adds that he suspects Li brainwashed him. Rafe mentions seeing Li outside and he was staring up here. Rafe thought Li was coming to make a fool of himself but obviously it was much worse. Gwen returns and says the paramedics are on their way. Gabi encourages Dimitri not to give up hope as Megan will soon get the help she needs. Johnny checks on Wendy, who is holding back tears. Johnny then decides to get her out of there. Stefan questions what Gabi was thinking by going after Harris like that. Gabi argues that she was saving his life. Stefan thanks her but asks her to never do something that reckless again. Gabi says she had to stop him because she couldn’t lose Stefan again. Stefan tells her it’s okay now and hugs her. Stefan states that Li tried to keep them apart again but failed again as nothing can keep them apart. Stefan declares that Li will pay for this and so will everyone else who helped him out.

Nicole questions EJ and Kristen being held prisoner by Megan this whole time. EJ calls Megan an evil, sadistic bitch. Nicole brings up EJ texting her but EJ says he wishes he could, so it must have been Megan using his phone. Nicole admits that explains why he didn’t answer her calls. Nicole thought EJ abandoned her and the baby. EJ assures that he will never abandon her as she and the baby mean everything to him. EJ asks Nicole about her meeting with the specialist. Nicole confirms that she thinks she can carry the baby to term. EJ hugs her and calls it wonderful news. EJ declares that after all these years, they are finally going to have a child together. EJ and Nicole kiss as Eric watches on.

Eric goes home and sits on his bed, thinking back to kissing Nicole.

EJ joins Nicole in their bedroom and says he feels better after a shower. Nicole wants a doctor to take a look at EJ since Megan’s drugs could have side effects. EJ says they will, but first he wants to dress the elephant in the room in Eric. EJ questions what Eric was doing there. Nicole assures that he came over for a very good reason and they will talk about that, just not now. Nicole calls it a blessing in disguise because she got some cramping and Eric took her to the hospital but everything is fine. Nicole admits that Eric wanted to stay because EJ wasn’t around. EJ goes over how he disappeared, Nicole thought the worst of him and turned to Eric. Nicole argues that’s not how it went and that EJ knows how she feels about him. EJ questions if he does, pointing out that a few weeks ago, he told her that he loved her and she hasn’t said it back. Nicole says she knows and she’s sorry. Nicole adds that when she thinks about how Megan could have killed him, she realized that she does love him. Nicole comments that EJ looks skeptical. EJ feels he might have talked her in to saying that or pressured her. Nicole assures that he didn’t and that she said it because she feels it. Nicole declares that he is the father of her child and the man that she wants to be with as they kiss.

Kristen makes a phone call to report a kidnapping of herself and EJ by Megan. Kristen then says she doesn’t remember how it happened and asks why she would joke about something so serious. Kristen tells them to hold on as she needs to get with EJ and goes to find him. Leo then emerges from the tunnels with a bottle of wine and says so much for being Gwen’s hero. Leo wishes that EJ and Kristen could remember what Megan and Dimitri are up to, so he could tell Gwen before it’s too late and then she would dump Dimitri and never look back.

Gwen joins Dimitri at the hospital and asks how Megan is. Dimitri says they got her stable in the ambulance and then rushed her right in to surgery. Dimitri worries that she looked so pale and fragile. Gwen reminds him that Megan cheated death once, so she’s going to do it again. Dimitri thanks her for her support. Dimitri says he understands if she wants to get home but Gwen declares that she’s not going anywhere as she’s staying here. Dimitri then hugs Gwen.

Harris tells Chad that he has to let him go. Chad says that’s not going to happen as he promised Rafe that he would look after him until backup arrived. Stephanie points out that a squad car just pulled up, so the police should be there any minute. Harris argues that he has a mission to complete. Chad tells Harris that the mission is over and he failed. Stephanie asks if it was Dr. Rolf’s handy work. Chad believes so. Stephanie says that Harris can’t catch a break as first he was brainwashed by Megan and now Li Shin.

Johnny and Wendy sit together in the town square. Wendy can’t believe Li did something so crazy. Johnny talks about losing Chanel to Allie and how he almost did something very underhanded. Wendy points out that he didn’t hire a Navy SEAL to kill Allie because he’s not a criminal or a heartless bastard with no conscience. Wendy declares that there is no excuse for the horrible, unforgiving thing that her brother did and now he’s going to have to face the consequences.

Gabi shows up at Li’s door like he imagined. Li asks what she’s doing there and not at her engagement party. Gabi explains that she was until Harris Michaels showed up with a gun to kill Stefan. Li pretends to be shocked and says he’s so sorry. Li says poor Stefan, but Stefan then arrives and tells Li not to bury him just yet. Li says thank God he’s okay but Stefan tells Li to drop the act. Li asks what he means. Rafe then arrives and arrests Li for the attempted murder of Stefan DiMera.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Being at the hospital with me must have been difficult, but it, it meant a lot to me. I’m glad I could be there. Not as glad as I am.

Erica, you know, I should, I should go get that food for you. You’re to look a little pal.

What the hell have I walked in on? Oh, Leo Star. I never thought I’d say this, but thank God you are here. Well, I don’t mean to kink shame, but what is going on here? Oh, well, you know, playing cops and robbers can get a little outta hand, seriously. Of, of course not you, imbecile. Our sister, Megan did this to us.

She’s held US cap down here for weeks, weeks. Oh my gosh. I knew it. I knew it. You knew? Well, I knew she was up to something, so I followed her here. Lady Whistleblower can always sniff out a good story, and you’d be surprised how more often than not my nose leads me to uncovering an underground bondage dungeon just like yours.

Oh god. All right. This isn’t a bondage dungeon, huh? Well, I should hope not. It’s not usually siblings. I find all tied up together. So why did Megan do this to you? Because we found out that she was planning on

well out with it. Handsome planning on what? Uh,

I don’t, I don’t remember.

Hey, where is the host? I mean, people are starting to get a little restless Honored. Guests welcome. Now please accept my apologies for the delay. In order to make this a really special night tonight, I had to bring a bottle of my father’s very favorite champagne. Just took me a little longer to get it than I expected, but I’m here now and I’m so glad that you are all here too.

Because there is nothing in this world more important than family is there. I am so grateful that you have all welcomed me back into your bosom,

and I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to host this lovely gathering for my newfound brother and his gorgeous bride to be. And I just know that father is smiling down on us now. Happy to see us all together again. Well, at least most of us. Yeah, very few of us. And yes, I know that we have our differences, but we overcome them, don’t we?

That’s what families do. Well, normal family is like yours. My sister Megan, she’s an assassin. Thomas Banks had to kill us. So all those things are a little bit hard to overcome. Mm-hmm. I’m so sorry for all of the lost years that we could have spent together, but I look forward to the many, many happy years to come.

And now I want everyone to grab a glass of champagne so we can toast the happy couple, the lovely Gabriela and my charming brother Stephan. Oh my God. Harris Michaels, what the hell are you doing here?

Sorry, Kate. Commander Michaels is in accepting calls at this time. He’s under new management and Megan and Ivory, give him his first assignment. Eliminate Stephan Demara.

Sorry to interrupt the festivities, but I’m gonna need everyone to move to that side of the room right now. No sudden movements. Let’s go. I’d hate for my friend here cause I have to start barking orders. Michaels, what are you doing? I’m here to eliminate a threat. What threat? Oh my God, don’t you see? I’m the threat.

He’s here to kill me.

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

This looks delicious. Well, Harold, he did most of the work, but for the record, I did toast the toast. Oh, really? Mm-hmm. I was just gonna say how toasty the toast looks. I think you found your new calling. You know what? Drink some tea. Stay hydrated. The doctor’s orders. Okay.

Oh yeah. It’s the spot. It’s even worth all your nagging. I’m looking out for you and the baby. Yeah, only the baby’s father was so attentive. Eric, I, I, I really do appreciate your help, but EJ should be the one doing this instead of being on some secret business trip where he couldn’t even be bothered to answer his phone.

Well, I’m sure he has his reasons. Well, they’re not gonna be good enough. It’s like he’s forgotten what’s important. This baby isn’t even born yet. He’s already abandoned us.

You don’t remember? Come on. This isn’t like your locker combination, Sean, but let me think. Come on, come on, come on, come on. Ah, it’s like the memory is evaporated from my brain. I, I know something should be there, but it’s not. I, I, I dunno. What do you think? Hm? What do you think? What do I think? Hm. Um, oh, I, I think that Megan injected us with something.

She’d make us forget, forget what her plan. Uh, uh, probably, um, the thing is, is that I have no idea what, uh, what, you know, what? I, I don’t even, I don’t know any of this. I might have a vague idea. Does it have something to do with her son, Dimitri? What about it? Well, he proposed to my best friend Gwen, but I think he and mommy dearest have an ulterior motive.

Does any of that ring a bell? Oh, actually, I. It does sound familiar.

It’s all happening right upstairs. Soon Stefan will be dead. And I’ll be there to pick up the pieces for Gabby Lee.

What doing here?

Can’t you see? This man wants revenge for everything that I did to him. He even came to my house a couple of weeks ago and threatened me. Mother, why didn’t you tell me? I, I thought he was all talk that it was just a hollow threat. I didn’t realize that he was this terrain enough. No, Michaels. You wanna hurt my mother?

You’re gonna go through me first. No, Dimitri, stay outta this. Relax. I’m not here to kill either one of you. Oh, thank God. I’m here to kill Stephan.

You’re here to kill Stephan. Yeah, I don’t understand. You don’t even know me. I assure you, Mr. Damara, there’s nothing personal. I’m just following orders. Whose orders?

I can’t. Just watch him do this. We’ll call the police.

Drop it. I’m sorry.

Next person I see with the phone will not get a warning. Is that understood?

This can go one of two ways. Everybody can do as they’re told and survive the night, or I can take out as many people as I have to to complete my mission. Okay. You said earlier you were eliminating a threat. How am I a threat to you? Isn’t it obvious, Stephan? I mean, who would consider you a threat?

No. Yeah. It has to be EJ who, who’s conveniently not at this party, who’s been plotting against you this entire time, who would be crazy enough to hire this lunatic to take you out. Is that true? Did my brother hire you? Answer me, dammit.

Fine. If you must know

it wasn’t ej I. And who, who are you working for?

The man who wants you dead is Lee Chen. What? What?

I didn’t hear you sneak up on me. Oh, I’m not sneaking up on anyone. I’m just trying to go to my sister’s engagement party. Running a little late, aren’t you? Yeah. Well, things have been a little hectic down at the station. Of course, I heard about Mayor Carver. I’m so sorry. Uh, you still haven’t answered to my question.

What are you doing lurking about? No one’s lurking, but I was just, uh, passing through. Yeah. Seemed a little nervous to be just passing through. I’m not, you were thinking about going up there. Weren’t you crashing the party, creating a scene?

Fine. You got me. Commissioner Guilty’s charged.

Okay. Okay. I was right. Lady. Whistleblower strikes again. Megan and her son aren’t just using Gwen, but why? I, I, I don’t remember. Damn it. Woman. What you think? Don’t get your hands off of you. Little creep. Listen, you’re friends with Gwen too, don’t you wanna help her? Something tells me that my sister’s plan is a lot more sinister than manipulating your friend.

I, I feel like it’s more high stakes, like it’s life or death. Are you saying Gwen is in danger? I feel like someone else is the main target. Like who? I don’t know. It’s just a gut feeling. Oh my God, you two are useless. Oh no. You know who is useless. You found us ages ago and you still haven’t UNT yet. It would help if you asked nicely unless you wanna fully commit to your non day plume lady.

I suggest you untie us now. I even say, please, no. Hey,

I’m sorry. I am sure the last thing you wanna hear is me complaining about ej. It’s okay. I mean, you have every right to be angry. Look, you, you, you should go. Don’t feel obligated to stay it. I don’t feel obligated. And you know what? You shouldn’t be alone right now. No, I, I told you the cramps turned out to be nothing trip.

And the ob g y n said that I’m fine. And so is the baby besides Harold’s here if I need anything. Are you sure? I’m sure.

All right. Okay, thanks. Listen, thanks again. I, I am grateful. That I can still count on You always.

I can’t do this. I’m with ej.

Hi. Yeah. Well then where is he?

I’m sorry, I, I’m sorry. I just, I felt that old pool between us and those old feelings of being abandoned and worthless. Okay. You shouldn’t feel either. And he jay’s a jackass for doing this to you. And if that baby were mine,

I’m sorry. That’s not helpful.

That’s okay. You would’ve been the perfect father

and you still can be if things work out with you. And Sloane,

thank you for saying that. It’s the truth.

Speaking of which, I have some hard truths to face with EJ if I ever see him again. That is, And if I do or when I do, I don’t know if I can forgive him for this disappearing when I need him the most. I am gonna kill when I right there. Oh, Nicole. Thank God, ej,

we put you up to this. Is that so hard to believe? Apparently the guy still has something for you. And, and that maniac thinks that killing my fiance is the way to win bad my love. I believe it’s more of a, if I can’t have her then good job. Ralph Harris is convinced he’s working solely for Lee. Just as I planned, we’re we’re just as supposed to believe a crazy man with a gun.

Look, I know my brother and he would never hire someone to kill Stephan. He’s not a murderer. He did pull the plug on me when I was in a coma that was different. Okay. Making a split second mistake is a whole lot different than plotting to murder someone in cold blood because he says something you, you know, that’s not Lee.

Well, Stefan’s, right? Lee has a history of trying to eliminate his competition by any means necessary, but my brother has accepted that you moved on Gabby. I mean, he didn’t even fight to the divorce. He let you go. Wendy. Wendy, when we ran into Lee earlier tonight, he insisted you not come to this party.

That was just. About loyalty to him. Yeah. Boy, he didn’t want you getting caught up in the crossfire.

Lee, you need to stay away from this party. Do you hear me? Do you understand you have caused Gabby enough pain already? I know you’re right. I, it’s just, it’s just what Lee, I ran into my sister and Johnny Damara as they were headed in, and Gabby and Stephan, and honestly I tried to be happy for them, but seeing them, knowing what’s going on in there, I just can’t get it outta my head.

What could have been. I loved your sister so much. I still do. Okay. I hear you and I understand because I have been in a similar situation myself, but what you need to understand is what you and Gabby had before it is over. You need to accept that.

You can’t just willow away feelings brave. Sure you know that even now. Right now, knowing how happy they are up there just breaks my heart.

So it’s true. Lee put you up to this. Why would I lie? What the hell happened to, to turning your life around wanting redemption for all of the terrible things that you, this isn’t you, is it? You’ve been brainwashed again. This time by Lee Shin. No, you’re right. Chad Lee’s done this before. He, he brainwashed han into forgetting that he loved me and now he’s brainwashed hairs into becoming his assassin.

Owens Town hasn’t been brainwashed. Ah, it’s sort of a thing here. Just wait until somebody pulls off a Mission Impossible style mask. Mid party crash. Right? Shut up, everyone. Shut up. I don’t know what you’re talking about.

All I know is I have orders from Lee to kill you.

It’s about that time.

Aj, you’re here. Yes. Thank God I’m here with you. Um, when did you get back in town? I never left. What? Megan locked me in the tunnel. Hey, hey. US, us struck us in the tunnels. Okay. Why would she do that? We don’t know, but we’re pretty sure she gave us something that’s affecting our memories. Good God. How did you escape?

Well, I mean, thankfully Leo Stark found us and he set us free. Leo Stark? Yeah. What was he doing down there? No idea. I don’t remember.

Ah, Megan must be using this as her base of operations, so there has got to be something down here.

Oh my Gaga, jackpot pot. This is the good stuff. Ancestral wealth tear bubbly. No legal focused. No. Today you are a hero. You have got to find proof that Dimitri is up to no good. It’s the only way to stop going from getting hurt. Okay?

No. Oh, I can’t watch Michael’s. Michaels. Michaels. Just stop. All right. You don’t wanna do this. Orders are orders. But you don’t have to follow them. Whatever Lee did to you, Michaels fight it. Do not listen to Lee’s voice in your head. Michaels, you listen to your own. Okay? Deep down, you know this is wrong.

Think about that time that you set that bomb off at my apartment in Seattle. You felt terrible about that after you broke free from the brainwashing. You hated Megan for doing that to you. Um, how about we don’t remind the man with the gun how much he hates me? Please, please don’t let me make you do this.

You’re not a murderer. Um, actually, technically he is a murderer. I read his case and there were several instances where. Sorry, I have an idea. Let, let me get Lee on the phone and you know what? You probably think I’m gonna call 9 1 1. You get him on the phone and let me just talk to him right now. I can talk him out of this.

Please, please.

Thanks Ray. As much as I’m hurting, Hoda just made it worse. Humiliating myself at Gabby and Seven’s party. Nah, I’m glad you stopped me. I didn’t do it for you. Well, either way, you helped me and I appreciate it and I promise I’m headed straight home. Good. Give my congratulations to the happy couple.

Fair enough. Goodnight Lee.

Hopefully by the time you get up there, it’ll be too late. The job will have been completed.

Please let me call Lee. I I can straighten this up. Drop the phone, but Gabby’s right, she and I can make my brother realize what a mistake this is just two minutes. I said drop the phone right now, Gabby. Just do what he says. But Gabby,

I didn’t, I didn’t want to hurt Lee. Okay. Just my, my heart belongs to Stephan. He’s the only person that’s ever understood me, the real me. Everything I am and love me for it, not in spite of it. So if you shoot him, then you have to shoot me too, Gabby. Yes, please. I cannot live without him. Okay. I can’t. I can’t.

So please, I’m telling you, please don’t do this. Please don’t. I’m sorry, but I have no choice.

What happened?

Mother,

you shot me.

There’s just so much blood. Um, it’s okay. Um. I’m, I’m gonna go get help. Just keep putting pressure on it. Okay. I’ll be back. Hang on.

Why haven’t I heard from Megan? Steph should be good and dead by now.

Kevin, what are you doing here? Are you supposed to be your engagement party? I was there. I was there, and then Harris Michael showed up and killed Stephan. Oh my God. He didn’t hurt you, did he? No. You must be devastated. I was at first. Then I realized, Harry said me a favor. Did you A, did you a favor? What do you mean?

I thought, I love Stephan. But now that he’s gone, I realize you’re the only man ever truly loved. Wait, wait, wait. Don’t you need time to mourn? I can mourn Stephan tomorrow to tonight. I want you to rish me.

Hurry home to me, Gabby. You gotta let me go. I get a job to do him sit. Michael said that Lee ordered him to kill Stephan. We suspected, uh, that Lee brainwashed him. Lee dammit saw Lee outside. He was staring up here. Yeah, I thought he was going to come up here and wreak havoc and make a fool of himself.

Obviously it was much worse.

Okay. Um, the paramedics are on their way. She’s still unconscious. Okay. Don’t give up hope. Okay. She’s soon gonna get the help she needs. Mm-hmm. Hey, You all right.

Okay. Let’s get you outta here. Let’s go. Come on. How were you thinking going after him? Like that you could have gotten yourself killed. No, he was trying to kill you. You and he’s, how about thank you for saving my life. You were amazingly brave. You’re my hero. You Thank you for saving my life. And you are amazingly brave, but please.

Don’t do something that reckless ever again. No. I had to stop him. I couldn’t lose you. Not again. It’s okay. It’s okay now. He tried to keep us apart again and he failed again. Nothing can separate us. You and I, were gonna get married. We’re gonna have a long, wonderful life together and Lee is gonna pay for this and so is everybody else who helped him out.

So Megan held you to prisoner this whole time evil sadistic bitch, but you texted me. No, no, I, I did not. How I wish I could have, it must have been Megan using my phone obviously. Well, that explains why you didn’t answer my calls,

ej. I, I thought you abandoned me and the baby. Nicole. Nicole, I will never abandon you. You and this baby mean everything to me. You hear me? Everything.

Did you meet with a specialist? I did. And. She thinks that I can carry this baby to term. Oh my God, that’s wonderful news. That’s wonderful news. After all these years, we’re finally going to have a child together.

Mm.

I feel so much better after that shower. It helped clear some of the fogginess outta my head. Hey Jay, we really should have a doctor take a look at you. I mean, Megan’s drugs could have some side effects. We will. But first I want to address the elephant in the room. What do you mean? I think you know, Eric, what about him?

What was he doing here? Well, trust me, he came over for a very good reason, and, and we will talk about that, just not now. Okay. The, but the point is it, it was a blessing in disguise because I got some cramping. He took me to the hospital and, and everything’s fine. Everything’s fine. But Eric wanted to stay because, well, you, you weren’t around so I disappeared.

You thought the worst of me, that I didn’t care about you all. Al child, and you turned to Eric. No, it’s not how it went. Ej, you know how I feel about you. Do I, I mean, a few weeks ago I told you that I love you and you, you haven’t set it back.

I know, and I’m sorry. And when I think about how Megan could have killed you, I realize that I,

I do. I I love you.

You look skeptical. I, I just feel like I might have talked you into saying that. No, I pressured you. I hate to No, you, you didn’t. I, I, I said it because I feel it. You are the father of my child and the man I wanna be with. And if you don’t believe me, And maybe this will convince you, oh, I’m here. Mm-hmm.

Yes. I, I would like to report a kidnapping. Uh, my brother and I, ugh, ugh. My wicked witch of a sister. Actually, no. I, I don’t remember how it happened. No, no, no, no. I’m not kidding. Why would I joke about something so serious? You know, I just, just hold on. I, my brother. DJ.

Well, so much for being boy’s hero. At least I got this lovely souvenir. Uh, I just wish those two bozos could remember what Megan and Dimitri are up to. So I could tell my poorly diluted BFF before it’s too late. She would dump that miserable SOB and never look back.

Dimitri. Yeah. How’s your mom? They managed to keep her stable in the ambulance, and then they just rushed her straight into surgery as soon as we got here. When she just, she, she looked so pale. She, she was so fragile. Listen to me. She cheated death once, didn’t she? Mm-hmm. She’s, she’s gonna do it again.

Thank you. Thank you for your support. I’m sure you want to get home and I, I totally understand Dave. No, no, I’m not going anywhere. I’m staying here.

You have to let me go. It’s not gonna happen. I promise. Ray, if I’d look after you until back up. A squad car just pulled up. Police should be here any minute. I have a mission to complete. Michael’s the mission’s over. You failed

Dr. Ralphs handy work. Yeah, I’d bet. Good money on it. Poor guy. Can’t catch a break. First, he’s brainwashed by Megan. Now, lay shin.

I can’t believe my brother did something so crazy when I, uh, when I lost Chanel to my sister, I was so desperate to get her back. I almost did something very underhanded. Did you brainwash a Navy seal to kill Allie? No, of course not. You’re not a criminal heartless bastard with no conscience.

There’s no excuse for the horrible, unforgivable thing my brother did, none at all, and now he’s going have to face the consequences.

What are you doing here? Aren’t you supposed to be at your engagement party? I was there, but it ended early when Harris Michael showed up with a gun. What? Why? To kill Stephan. Oh my God, Gabby, I’m so sorry. Poor Stephan. I Lee. Don’t bury me just yet. Stephan. Thank God you’re okay. Drop the act. You son of a bitch.

I have to go. What? Act please. Chin. You go under arrest for the attempted murder of Stephan Damira.

Recap written by Michele and Cheryl

Kate texts Harris to find out what’s going on with Megan. Li had Harris’ phone and texted Kate. He told her that everything was going as scheduled. She wanted to have a drink with him, but he couldn’t make it. Chad and Stephanie showed up. They wanted to check on her before they went to Megan’s party for Gabi and Stefan. Kate was suspicious that Megan would be having an engagement party while she’s on a secret location with Harris. Eric tried to assure Nicole that she would be fine. She was afraid that she was miscarrying again. He tried to comfort her, but she didn’t deserve his kindness. She thought she was being punished for what she did to Jada. Eric told her that God wouldn’t do that to her. He assured her that God cares about and will help her. The doctor examined her and told her that everything was fine. Gwen was getting ready for the party and got into it with Leo. He kept telling her about Dimitri’s motives for proposing. She thought Dimitri was being sincere. She thought Leo was jealous because he’s still single. He was hurt by that, but he thought she might be right. He thought Dimitri was up to something and planned to search the DiMera mansion while everyone was at the party.

Rolf finished the procedure on Harris. He gave Megan a serum to inject into EJ and Kristen. The serum would make them forget about her confession about her plans for Stefan and kidnapping them. Harris woke up so Rolf gave him the instructions he needed for the night. He sent him on his way. Rolf assured Li that everything will go according to the plan. EJ and Kristen yell for help, but no one hears them. Kristen thought Megan was going to kill them. EJ didn’t think she would do that. He thought she would have done it by now.

Update written by Joseph

Gabi joins Stefan at the DiMera Mansion and apologizes for being late as she was in a meeting. Gabi says she just left because she couldn’t be late for her own engagement party. Stefan isn’t sure how much of a party it will be since most of the guests can’t make it. Gabi asks why. Stefan explains that Tony and Anna are still out of town and EJ is still on that mysterious business trip. Stefan adds that Megan told him that Kristen decided to take a trip to New York. Gabi finds it odd that Kristen and EJ both left town without telling them. Stefan reveals that what’s more odd is that Kristen left without her phone when they both know she can’t live without it.

EJ and Kristen remain tied up in the wine cellar in the DiMera tunnels. They try screaming for help. Kristen complains that she would have thought someone would have come for a bottle of wine by now. EJ worries that if Megan had her way, Stefan’s probably already dead. Kristen doubts that and says Megan would’ve gloated about it when she was there before. EJ agrees that Megan does love to gloat, so he doesn’t know how she’s fooling Nicole. EJ can’t believe Nicole fell for Megan’s story as if he would leave for a business trip when Nicole had such an important medical appointment that he arranged to see if she can carry their baby to term. EJ hates to think that Nicole is going through it alone.

At the hospital, Eric encourages Nicole to breathe. Nicole fears that she is losing the baby.

At the Brady Pub, Kate looks over her text conversation with Harris Michaels and notes that she hasn’t heard anything since. Kate texts him asking where the hell he is because she needs more information. Li walks by the Pub with Harris’ phone and texts Kate back that everything went according to plan. Li then remarks to himself that it just wasn’t according to Kate’s plan.

Megan watches as Dr. Rolf shocks Harris’ brain. Dr. Rolf assures Megan that Harris will be doing only her bidding from now on. Megan asks if he’s sure that Harris is ready for the job that she needs him to do tonight. Dr. Rolf tells her not to worry and declares that this will be Stefan’s last night on Earth.

Dimitri tells Johnny and Wendy that he’s glad he ran in to them. Wendy points out that it might be a little weird since she was almost Gabi’s sister-in-law but she really likes her and she’s glad that Gabi is marrying the man she loves. Johnny tells Dimitri that they will see him at the party then. Dimitri thanks them and says that Megan is trying to do something nice for Stefan and Gabi, but admits the attendance on the DiMera side might be a little thin. Johnny says they will help with that.

Kate sends a text to Harris’ phone, asking what he did with Megan. Li responds that it’s best she doesn’t know the details. Li then remarks to himself that she’ll find out soon enough. Kate texts back, inviting Harris to the Pub for a drink to celebrate.

Gwen gets dressed for the engagement party. Leo mentions his plan to drink all night unless she gets him in to the party. Gwen says that Dimitri is hoping for a romantic night so she doesn’t want him spoiling that. Gwen comments on Leo not giving Dimitri the benefit of the doubt. Leo argues against Dimitri wanting to marry her after 24 hours and says even he doesn’t move that fast. Gwen talks about them being losers in love but now her Prince Charming has literally fallen in to her lap. Leo complains that she means he’s still a loser. Gwen says she’s had a wonderful bit of luck and wonders if Leo is just a bit jealous.

Gabi and Stefan look over the guest list for the party. Gabi comments on Gwen being there while Stefan points out Chad attending and says at least a few DiMeras will be there. Gabi says Rafe is the only one from her side that’s coming and he’s so busy with Abe’s case that he said he can only stop by. Gabi worries that the party is going to suck but Stefan calls that impossible since they will be there and he plans on having a grand old time, celebrating their love and the fact that they will soon be husband and wife again. Gabi agrees that them being there together is all that matters.

Kristen tells EJ that Nicole is the least of their problems at the moment. Kristen complains that she’s starving and she can’t believe her sister did this to them. Kristen worries about how this is going to end. EJ tells her not to go there but Kristen questions if there is any reason for Megan to keep them alive.

Megan tells Dr. Rolf that Harris hardly looks like a man ready to carry out an assassination later tonight. Dr. Rolf acknowledges that the procedure was taxing but he’s confident that Harris will be ready. Megan says he better be because Stefano would be rolling over in his grave if Stefan handed over his legacy to Gabi. Megan declares that DiMera should be hers and the flies in the ointment are EJ and Kristen. Megan worries that if she lets them go, they will turn her in to the authorities and ruin everything she has planned. Dr. Rolf asks if she doesn’t have faith in him by now and reveals that he knows how to make sure that won’t happen.

Leo asks Gwen why he would be jealous. Gwen complains about Leo being suspicious about Dimitri when they have ruled out that it’s money or his reputation or a green card. Gwen questions what other possible ulterior motive he could have. Gwen suggests it was just love at first sight, insisting that is possible. Gwen says even as friends, she knew when she first saw Leo that she would always love him. Leo accepts that maybe she’s right. Leo then admits that maybe he is a bit jealous that she has found her Prince Charming while no one has flirted with him in the last millennium. Leo adds that he’s still certain that Dimitri is up to something.

Johnny tells Dimitri that they will see him at the Bistro. Dimitri comments that it should be a great celebration as he walks away. Johnny admits he was surprised that Wendy wanted to go to the party. Wendy explains that Gabi is the closest thing she’s ever had to a sister and she doesn’t think Gabi holds what happened with her and Li against her. Wendy hopes Gabi understands that Li kind of lost his mind when Stefan came back because he knew he was going to lose Gabi, so he did a lot of things that he regrets now. Wendy states that Li did so many things to hold on to her, so she’s really glad that Li has come to his senses and realized that he has to move on…

Li texts Kate back as Harris, saying he’s moving Megan to a secure location and will join her for a drink when he returns.

Chad and Stephanie go to the Brady Pub and greet Kate. Chad tells Kate that they just wanted to stop by and see how she’s doing because he knows she and Abe were close. Kate calls it so terrible and she still can’t believe it as she still hasn’t processed it. Stephanie agrees, calling it awful and sad. Stephanie feels kind of wrong to be going to a party. Chad tells Kate that it’s Stefan and Gabi’s engagement party. Chad adds that he didn’t want to go, but Megan can be insistent. Kate is confused and questions Megan’s involvement.

Gabi tells Stefan that she still doesn’t know why Megan wanted to throw them this party. Stefan feels a party is a party. Gabi says they could give her the benefit of the doubt and assume she means well. Gabi tells Stefan that she needs some help getting in to her dress, so they head upstairs together.

Eric encourages Nicole that everything is going to be okay and she’s not going to lose the baby. Nicole argues that he doesn’t know that. Eric points out that the cramps are less frequent and reminds her that the most important thing is to relax. Nicole says she can’t relax because she’s been through this too many times in the past. Eric argues that this is not like then, repeating that the cramps are less frequent. Nicole comments on Eric being so kind and caring when this isn’t even his baby. Nicole brings up what happened with Jada. Eric tells Nicole that he cares about her even with all the ups and downs they have been through, so he’s not going anywhere. Eric says he’s sorry that EJ is not here for her right now, but he is.

EJ tells Kristen that he’s all for finding a way out, but he feels they have tried everything. EJ doesn’t think they are in danger since if Megan wanted to kill them, she would have already. Kristen worries that she’s just waiting for the right time, pointing out that if Megan has no problem killing Stefan then what’s to stop her with them.

Dr. Rolf presents Megan with a syringe of CRS-17, the drug he used to wipe out people’s memory. Megan calls him a genius and declares that if EJ and Kristen can’t remember that she kidnapped them or that she admitted to planning to kill Stefan, then she is free and clear. Dr. Rolf confirms that how much they forget depends on the dose so having them forget the past week will be easy. Megan says they have a little bit of time before the party, so she will take care of EJ and Kristen on her way to the party. Megan declares that is something to celebrate. Megan tells Harris that she will see him there and he better not let her down this time.

Nicole appreciates Eric being there for her but says it’s a lot to ask. Eric points out that she didn’t ask. Nicole feels like she doesn’t deserve to be comforted and like she’s being punished. Eric assures that God doesn’t punish people by scaring them. Eric decides to go see what’s keeping the doctor and encourages her to relax as he will be right back.

Gwen tells Leo not to wait up. Leo tells her to promise to call him if Dimitri pressures her to accept his proposal tonight. Gwen asks him to give it a rest, questioning what he can dig up on Dimitri in the next three hours. Leo feels it’s the ideal time to dig up dirt since all the DiMeras will be out and he can check out the mansion to look for clues and might even come up with a story out of it. Gwen remarks that he’ll surely come up with a story since the DiMera Mansion is murder mayhem central. Gwen tells Leo that no matter how hard he looks, Dimitri has no ulterior motive. Leo says they’ll see about that.

Stefan struggles helping Gabi get the zipper up on her dress. Stefan decides that it’s a sign that maybe instead of putting clothes on, they should be taking them off. Gabi agrees as they kiss.

Megan enters the living room of the DiMera Mansion, on the phone with Li. Megan tells Li not to worry about Kate as she will take care of her next. Li says he just wants to make sure that none of this is traced back to them. Megan tells him to stop worrying because Harris is firmly back on her team, so he will take Stefan out at the party tonight then Li will be free to move on with Gabi and they both get what they want. Li says it was a pleasure doing business with her and hangs up. Johnny and Wendy walk through the town square and come across Li. Li asks what the occasion is for them to be dressed up. Wendy informs him that they got a last minute invitation to Stefan and Gabi’s engagement party but Li says he doesn’t want them to go.

Kate questions what Chad said about Megan. Chad repeats that she insisted they go to the party. Chad assures that he still hates Megan for what she did to Kate. Chad jokes that he hates 90% of the people that are going to be there 90% of the time. Kate asks when Megan sent the invitation. Chad says it was just awhile ago. Stephanie asks if something is wrong. Kate says no and just that she tries to avoid Megan at all costs. Chad suggests staying away from the Bistro for the next few hours then because Megan is hosting.

Megan prepares the syringe of CRS-17 and looks to the portrait of Stefano, insisting that she’s only doing what is best for the entire family. Megan remarks that Stefano never even knew Stefan existed and doesn’t think he would’ve liked him much. Megan states that Stefan is so easily manipulated by Gabi and is very weak, so she doesn’t think Stefano will be shedding any tears over this. Megan then heads for the tunnels but Dimitri arrives and questions what she is doing.

Stephanie asks Kate if she’s sure she’s alright. Kate claims she’s fine and she just despises Megan and Dimitri. Chad says he’s sorry for what they put her through. Kate says that’s all over now thanks to Chad and adds that she wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for him. Chad is grateful that she is. Kate reminds them that they have a party to go to, so Chad says they should go. Chad jokes that the sooner they get there, the sooner they can leave. Kate tells them to have fun. Chad jokes that it’s going to be lit. Stephanie tells Kate to take care as she and Chad exit the Pub. Kate then calls Harris Michaels.

As Harris phone rings, Wendy comments on Li changing his ringtone. She questions him not answering it. Li blows it off as just spam. Wendy asks why Li doesn’t want them to go to the party. Li argues that Stefan humiliated him. Li then decides that if they really want to go, he knows they are very fond of Gabi which Wendy confirms. Li warns them to watch their backs if they go because you never know what could happen in a room full of DiMeras…

Stefan and Gabi lay in bed together after having sex. Gabi says they better get a move on or they will be late to their own party. Stefan suggests they just not go. Stefan points out that everyone else is sending along their regrets so maybe they should do the same as they continue kissing.

Megan claims to Dimitri that she was just going down to get a few bottles of champagne for the party tonight. Dimitri asks what else she’s been up to since he’s texted her about a dozen times. Megan apologizes and says she’s just been so busy planning everything for the party. Megan asks if Gwen has accepted his proposal. Dimitri says not yet, only because they have been rudely interrupted by her overprotective little roommate. Megan complains that Gwen needs to accept the proposal. Dimitri notes that she did agree to come to the party so he’s sure all the engagement excitement will be contagious. Dimitri is very confident that he will be able to convince Gwen to accept this evening. Megan warns that Dimitri better be confident as she doesn’t need to remind him of the small fortune at stake. Dimitri says he will see her later tonight and exits the mansion. Megan then grabs the syringe and hurries in to the tunnels. Leo then sneaks in to the DiMera Mansion through the side door.

Eric returns to Nicole, who informs him that the doctor said the baby is fine. Eric says that’s great and asks what caused the cramps. Nicole says it was round ligament pain and it’s apparently normal so she just needs to take it easy, stay hydrated, and now she feels like an idiot. Eric understands why she would panic because of her rough history with things like this in the past. Eric is relieved that the baby is okay and he’s sure EJ will feel the same way when he gets back from where ever he is.

EJ tells Kristen that he’d be an idiot if he wasn’t a little worried about what Megan might do to them, but he’s more worried about what she might have already done to Stefan. Megan then enters the room and tells them to relax as she hasn’t done anything to Stefan. Megan then announces that now she has all her ducks in a row, so Stefan will be dead within the hour.

Stefan and Gabi walk through the town square. They agree it would’ve been a bad idea to skip their engagement party. Gabi talks about how they get to celebrate and then go home to spend the rest of the night in bed together. Li approaches them and says he just ran in to Wendy, who said she was going to their party so he would like to offer his congratulations. Stefan thanks him and says that’s very kind of him. Li states that he just wants Gabi to be happy. Gabi tells him that she wants the same for him. Gabi asks if Li is alright as he seems a little edgy. Li claims that he just hopes her evening is every bit as lovely as she deserves it to be. Li then steps away to listen to the voicemail that Kate left, where she says she just heard that Megan is throwing a party tonight and questions how that’s possible. Kate wonders what’s going on and guesses she’ll just have to see with her own eyes. Li deletes the voicemail and remarks that he hopes Kate doesn’t get caught in the crossfire.

Kristen questions Megan saying that Stefan will be dead within the hour. Megan explains that she’s throwing the engagement party tonight and Dr. Rolf has worked his magic on her man, Commander Harris Michaels. EJ questions Dr. Rolf being back. Megan confirms that he is, so tonight, Harris Michaels will do the deed and kill Stefan in front of all his friends and family, except for them two. Kristen asks if she’s going to kill them. Megan says of course not as she doesn’t think Stefano would be very happy about that. EJ swears they won’t implicate her and won’t say anything about this if she lets them go. Megan then reveals the syringe of CRS-17. EJ remembers Dr. Rolf trying to use it on Johnny to erase his memory. Megan tells them that as soon as the drug takes effect, she will be back for them. Megan suggests making it as quick and easy as possible.

Leo sneaks in to the DiMera Mansion and records himself talking about it. Leo notes that he couldn’t overhear the conversation between Dimitri and Megan, but given how shocked Megan was when he came through the tunnels before, he bets that they are hiding something down there and whatever it is will reveal that they are conspiring to screw over Gwen.

Chad and Stephanie arrive at the Bistro and greet Johnny and Wendy. Johnny hugs Chad and says he’s glad to see a family member that he actually knows and likes. Johnny introduces Wendy to Chad and Stephanie. Stephanie mentions hearing a lot about Wendy from Tripp and that he mentioned they might be dating. Stephanie says she shouldn’t have said anything given how Wendy and Johnny are on a date now. Wendy admits that she and Tripp did have a date earlier. Johnny asks if they are calling this a date now. Chad decides it’s none of their business. Chad hopes they have a fun night. Dimitri and Gwen then arrive. Dimitri announces that Gwen is his beautiful date and he hopes that tonight she might do him the honor of accepting his wedding proposal. Chad questions that and Stephanie asks if they knew each other from Europe. Dimitri admits they just met but they agree they share a very deep connection, so they hope they can all be happy for them but guesses not. Gwen says they don’t need anyone’s approval. Chad assures they won’t get it from him. Stefan and Gabi then arrive. Gabi remarks that it’s a room full of people that hates them and tells Stefan that they should’ve stayed home.

Harris Michaels wakes up in Dr. Rolf’s lab and asks what’s going on. Dr. Rolf informs him that he has a very important mission to carry out and asks if he remembers what that is.

Leo sneaks in to the DiMera Tunnels. Eric brings Nicole home to the DiMera Mansion and gets her settled on the couch. Eric asks if she wants water or soup. Nicole stops him and asks him not to go. Nicole tells Eric that she knows it must have been difficult for him to be in the hospital with her, so she wants him to know it means a lot. Eric is glad he could be there for her as they hug.

After being injected by Megan, EJ talks about feeling his memory slipping away. Kristen questions how they helped Stefan now. Leo then finds them and asks WTF?

Megan runs in to Kate in the town square. Megan mocks her and says she’d love to stay and chat but she’s late for a very important date. Megan walks away while Kate remarks “mission accomplished, my ass”

Li goes to Dr. Rolf’s lab and asks how it’s going. Rolf says it’s exactly as he said it would be and that Harris is like a heat seeking missile, focused on destroying his target. Li reminds him that it’s only the target because his sister is at the party. Dr. Rolf assures that Harris is programmed to only target Stefan. Li asks if won’t everyone suspect Megan immediately since she brainwashed Harris before. Dr. Rolf informs Li that he took care of that. Li hopes he didn’t let Harris go before he was fully ready like the disaster with Stefan. Dr. Rolf assures that the procedure is complete and Li will be a happy beneficiary. Li declares that Stefan will be gone and Gabi will be his again but this time, his hands will be completely clean.

Megan arrives at the Bistro and welcomes everyone. Megan apologizes for the delay and says that to make this a really special night, she brought a bottle of Stefano’s favorite champagne and it took a little longer than expected but she’s here now. Megan is so glad they are all here too because there is nothing in this world more important than family. Megan adds that she’s so grateful that they have all welcomed her back. Megan is thrilled to host this gathering for her newfound brother and his gorgeous bride to be. Megan says she just knows that Stefano is smiling down on them now, happy to see them all together again. Megan admits that she knows they have their differences but says they overcome them because that’s what families do. Chad mutters to Stephanie that Megan’s an assassin and that’s kind of hard to overcome. Megan talks about all the lost years they could’ve spent together but says she looks forward to the many happy years to come. Megan calls for everyone to grab a glass of champagne to toast the couple. Harris Michaels then arrives. Megan pretends to be shocked and asks what the hell he’s doing there. Harris then pulls his gun out, scaring everyone in the room.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Damn it.

Just not according to your plan.

You didn’t kill him, did you? Is he all right? Of course I didn’t kill him, but since he’s already broken free from your control once I had to administer an especially intense regimen, so you can rest Assured Commander Michaels will be doing only your bidding from now on. Are you sure that he’s ready for the job that I need him to do tonight?

Don’t you worry, this will be your brother Stefan’s last night on earth.

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

Well, I am so glad that I ran into you both. Nice to meet you, and that I could extend the invitation. Oh. Like I said, it’ll be a little weird for me to be there since it’s almost Gabby’s sister-in-law, but I am really happy for her and for Stephan, so I’m glad that we can celebrate their engagement. Yeah.

Yeah, me too. Great. Very generous of you both. And it means a lot to my mother. She’s trying to do something nice for them, but, uh, well, to be honest with you, the attendance on the Demer side is looking a little thin. Well, we’ll help with that. The more the merrier. Right.

You’ll find out soon enough.

Ah. Thank you.

I hope you’re not planning on spending the evening drinking all night. That’s the current plan. Unless you can finagle me an invitation to the party or a press pass at least. I’m sorry, my darling lady whistleblower is just going to have to have the night off. Dimitri’s hoping for a very romantic evening and I don’t want you spoiling it.

Me spoil a good time. Never. I’m constitutionally incapable. No. Yes. I used to think that, but now I think you are constitutionally incapable of trusting anyone, giving anyone the benefit of the doubt. Oh, right. How disappointing that I don’t trust a guy who meets you beds, you and wants to put a ring on it in 24 hours.

Come on, Gwenny. Even I don’t move that fast. Okay, Matty, I hope you don’t take this the wrong way, but the past few months we’ve been commiserating. Have we not been losers in love and now my Prince charming has literally fallen into my lap while you are still a loser. No. I never said that. Oh, that’s what you meant.

No, it’s not. I’m just, I’m saying that while I’ve had this wonderful bit of luck, I know that you haven’t, and I’m wondering if perhaps you’re just a wee bit jealous.

Gwen Ek. Yikes. Scraping the bottom of the barrel. Are he? Oh, Chad Damara is gonna be there. Look at that. Well, at least a few Damara will be in attendance, huh? Yeah. Well, wife’s the only one from my side that’s coming and he’s so busy working Abe car’s space. He said he, he’s only gonna be able to stop by.

This probably gonna suck. No. Impossible. Yes. You’re gonna be there. I’m gonna be there. And I plan on having a grand old time celebrating us. Our love and the fact that you and I are suing the husband and wife again. You’re right. No, you’re right. Yes. Us being there together, that’s all that matters. That’s right.

No offense, but Nicole’s the least of our problems at this moment. Oh my God. I am starving. I’m starting to contemplate cannibalism. Well, I suppose that is the demure way. I can’t believe my sister did this to me.

Oh, and you, of course. I cannot think how this is gonna end. Okay, Emma, Kristen, don’t go there again. How can I not, how can I not? There’s no reason for her to keep us alive, is there.

He hardly looks like a man prepared to carry out an assassination. Later tonight. The procedure was taxing, but I’m confident. Commander Michaels, who will be ready. He better be father would roll over in his grave if Stephan handed his entire legacy to that conniving. Gabby Hernandez. Demira should be mine.

There’s only one fly in the ointment. Well, two actually. DJ and Kristen. I can hardly take out the entire family, but if I let them go, they’ll turn me into the authorities and they’ll ruin everything that I’ve planned. Don’t you have faith in me by now, Megan?

I know how to ensure that won’t happen.

Why on earth would I be jealous? Just because you’re being wooed and proposed to by a rich, gorgeous guy with a magic penis. Oh God sake, Matthew, we really going there again. You never denied he had one. That’s because you made a very stupid lewd joke, which I was trying to forget about, but since you won’t drop it, yes, Dimitri and I are quite compatible physically.

And also he has a magic penis. Oh God. Can you just stay on topic please? What was the topic again that you are for no apparent reason. Quite jealous and still very suspicious of Dimitri even though we have obviously ruled out that it’s not money or reputation laundering or, or he’s not marrying me for a green card.

So what are his ulterior motives? I mean, what other possible option is there? Health insurance. He’s from Europe. Health insurance is free, really, even for Botox and fillers. I’m pretty sure that you have to pay for that everywhere. But look, just consider this, will you? It could be quite simple for Dimitri that perhaps it was just not at first sight.

Hmm. I mean, you know that’s possible, don’t you? Even for friends. I knew that when I first saw you, I loved you and that I always would, fuck. I just made my heart go pitter powder. Yes. Well, I meant it.

Okay. Maybe you’re right. Uh, come again. Sorry. Do, do my ears deceive me. Did I actually just hear you say that I am right? No, I said maybe. And maybe I am a teensy bit jealous that you have found your prince charming, as you say, whereas nobody’s even flirted with me in the last millennium. Oh, come on.

That’s not true. And that’s how it feels. But petty jealousy aside, Lord, I am still certain that magic penis guy is up to something. Ah.

You’re right, of course. The more the merrier. See you at the bistro. Yes. Yes, we will. It should be a great celebration.

You know, I, I was surprised that, that we even wanted to go to the party. Well, Gabby is the closest thing I’ve ever had to a sister, and I don’t think she holds what happened between her and my brother against me, or even against him. I just, I think, I hope that she understands that Lee kind of lost his mind when Stephan came back.

Yeah. He knew he was gonna lose Gabby. Right. And so he did a lot of things. He regrets now. I mean, he was just trying so hard to hold onto her because he loved her so much.

Now I’m really glad he’s finally come to his senses and realized he has to move on.

Hey, you two. Hi. Hi. Hi. It’s good to see you. Hello. Overdressed for the pub though, aren’t you? Oh, no, we’re not. Uh, we’re not having dinner here tonight. We just wanted to stop by and see how you’re doing. Me too. Hey. I know you guys are close. I know, I, the, the whole thing is so terrible. I just, I mean, I still can’t believe it, you know, I just haven’t processed it really?

Yeah, we haven’t either. It’s just so awful and sad. Feels kind of wrong to be going to a party. Yeah. So Stefan and Gabby’s engagement party, I didn’t want to go, but, uh, you know, my sister Megan, she can be. Consistent. Megan, you know, I still don’t know why Megan was so Help Ben on throwing us this party.

Who cares? Party’s a party. True. I guess we could give her the benefit of the doubt. Assume she means well, I think she is capable of that as long as she’s not being a power hungry bitch on wheels. Right. Well, I guess I should get ready. Uh, you know, actually, I do need some help getting into my dress. Yeah.

Yeah. Mm-hmm. I’m your man.

Nicole, look at me. Look at me. Everything is gonna be okay. You’re not gonna lose this baby. You don’t know that Eric, Nicole, look, the, the cramps, they’re coming in less frequently. You’re not spotting, are you? All right, then well listen. You heard what the OB said. She said the most important thing for you and your baby’s health is just to try and relax.

Well, I can’t relax. I’ve been down this road too many times. This is nothing like what’s happened in the past. The cramps are coming in less frequently. You’re not spotting what? What is with that look? It’s just that you’re being so kind and and caring, and this isn’t even your baby. And after what happened with Jada, Eric, I, Hey, hey, hey, stop.

Listen to me. Don’t you know by now I care about you. Even with all the ups and downs that we’ve been through, I’m not going anywhere. Okay. I’m sorry that ejs not here for you right now, but I am.

I’m all for finding a way out of here, but it feels like we’ve tried everything. Got any new ideas? Well, if I had Susan’s teeth, I could knock through these ropes. Look. I don’t think we’re in imminent danger. If Megan wanted to kill us, she would’ve done it already. Well, maybe she is just waiting for the right time.

She has no qualms about killing Stephan. Why not us two?

CRS 17. Who’s a rescue? Oh, Ralph, you’re a genius. If Kristen and EJ can’t remember that I kidnapped them or admitted that I planned to kill Stephan, then I am free and clear. Can you make them forget that? And only that I’ve gotten a lot of practice with this drug in recent years. How much they forget is dosage dependent.

We should be able to wake out the last week or two with very little problem. Excellent. So I have a little bit of time before the party if you hand me that dose. I’ll take care of them on my way.

Now that is something to celebrate.

See you there, commander. You better not let me down this time.

Eric, I, I, I appreciate you being here for me, but it is a lot to ask. You didn’t ask. I still, I just, I, I just feel like, like, like what? Like I don’t deserve to be comforted. Like I’m being punished. Nicole, stop it. There’s a lot of things about my faith that I question. That’s not one of them. God doesn’t punish people by scaring ’em this way.

That’s not how it works.

Look, I’m gonna go see what’s keeping the dog there. All right? So I just want you to relax. I’ll be right back.

God,

don’t wait up. Okay. Gwynnie promise me this, if dreamy Dimitri pressures you to accept his proposal tonight, you will at least call me first. Why, so you can talk me out a bit? No. So you can see if I dug anything up. Oh God. Matty, please. Can you just give it a rest? I mean, whatcha are you gonna find in three hours anyway?

Are you kidding me? The next three hours are perfect for finding things out. All the de mirrors will be out tonight. It is the ideal time for me to swing by the mansion, nose around a bit, look for clues. Who knows? I may even get a story out of it. Oh yeah, you’ll definitely find clues. That place is murder mayhem central.

But if you are looking for dimitri’s ulterior motive, it doesn’t matter how hard you look. Because there isn’t one We’ll see about that. I can’t possibly suck in any more than this. No, that’s, that’s not the problem. I just can’t get it up. Well, I beg to differ. I, I’m talking about the zipper. Right? And you know what, maybe, maybe this is a sign.

A sign meaning, meaning that, uh, maybe instead of. Putting clothes on. You should be taking clothes off. I like the way things, yeah,

don’t worry about Kate. I’ll take care of her next. I just wanna make certain, none of this will be traced back to us, but stop worrying. Lee. Commander Michaels is firmly back on my team. So he’ll take Stefan out at the party tonight and then you’ll be free to move on with Gabby and we’ll both get what we want.

Pleasure doing business with you.

Hey This’s, your uh, brother. Hey Lee. Hey, I see Case you never dress up. Oh, we got a last minute invite to a party, not Gabby and Stephan’s engagement party. Well, yes, as a matter of fact, no, I I don’t want you to go.

Wait, what did, what did you just say about Megan? Just that she insisted that, um, that we go to that, uh, a party. And I, I still hate her for what she did do. In fact, out of all the people that are gonna be there, I hate 90% of them, but 90% of the time. Okay. Yeah. I just, when exactly did she, um, send that invitation?

Oh, a little while ago. Why is something wrong, wrong? No, no. I, I just tried to avoid her at all costs. Well, then I’d stay away from the bistro for the next few hours cause she’s hosting. If you want, we can give her your fondest regards. Hmm.

Don’t look at me like that father. I’m only doing what’s best for the entire family. And as for Stephan, you never even knew he existed. And honestly, I don’t think you would’ve liked him very much. Oh, he’s so easily manipulated by that woman. Very weak. No, I don’t think you’ll be shedding any tears over this.

Whatever you are,

mother, what are you doing?

Kate, are you sure? You’re all right? No, I’m fine. I’m fine. I just, uh, I just despise the woman, you know, not to mention her son. They deviance both of them. I’m really sorry for what they put you through. Hello? It’s all over now. Nice to you. In fact, I wouldn’t be here now if it wasn’t for you. I’m damn grateful You are.

Okay. Uter, you have a party to go to, right? Yeah. We should go. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Sooner we get there the sooner we can leave. Mm-hmm. Right. We’ll have fun, okay? Okay. It’s gonna be lit. No, you take care, Kate. Yeah, you too.

Finally changed your ringtone, huh? Yeah. What You’re not gonna answer. It is just spam. Probably someone wanting to offer me an extended auto warranty. Yeah, dude, I, I get those all the time. Right. Well, you were just about to tell us why don’t you want us to go to the party? What I should think it’d be obvious, Stephan humiliating me of me to be brutally honest.

It’s very embarrassing,

but if you really want to go, I know you’re very fond of Gabby, so Yeah, we are. Just promise me that you’ll watch your back. You never know what can happen in a room full of Demaris. No offense not taken. I know exactly what you mean.

Mm-hmm. Thank you. Stuck zipper. Thank you. But you know, we better get, move on or we’re gonna be late to a party. Or maybe, and I’m just spit balling here. Maybe we don’t go, you know, everybody else is sent along their regrets. Maybe we should do the same.

Oh, I was just going down to get a few bottles of Christophe for the party tonight, huh? Well, it’d also been up to, I’ve texted about a dozen times. I know, sweetheart, I’m sorry. I’ve just been so busy planning everything for the party. There’s so many little details, but tell me. Has she accepted your proposal?

No, not yet. Only because we have been rudely interrupted by her Weasley, overprotective little roommate. Damn it. She needs to accept that proposal. Yes, I know mother, but she has agreed to come to the party tonight and I’m sure that all of this engagement, excitement will be contagious. I am very confident that I’ll be able to persuade her to accept this evening.

You’d better be confident. I’m sure I don’t need to remind you about the small fortune that’s ATS stake. Mother, you really don’t.

I’ll see you there tonight. Can’t wait.

Well,

well, uh, the doctor said that the baby’s fine. That’s great. So what caused the cramps? Uh, something called round ligament pain. I, I don’t know, I, I’ve never heard of it before, but apparently it’s normal, so I, I just need to take it easy. Stay hydrated, and now I just, You like an idiot, Nicole, you’re not an idiot.

Oh God. God, of course you panicked. You’ve had a rough history with things like this in the past. Just I’m relieved that the baby’s okay.

You and me both. I’m sure you’re just gonna feel the same way when he gets back from wherever he’s

well. I’d be an idiot if I wasn’t a little worried about what made my do to us since she’s already done this, but I’m much more worried about what she might have already done to Stephan. Relax. I haven’t done anything to Stephan, thank God. But now that I have all my duckies in a row, He’ll be dead within the hour.

Please look at you would’ve been a crappy idea to skip our engagement party. Uh, you’re right. I mean, yeah. This is the best of both worlds. We get to sip on some champagne, those yummy puff pastries, hang out with, uh, all these people that we love, fawning all over us, pretending to like us, and then we get to go home and spend the rest of the night in bed together.

Oh, I love that last part. Me too. Definitely. Hello? Oh, hello Lee. I just, uh, ran into my sister and she said she’s on her way to your engagement party. I’d like to offer my congratulations. Thank you, Lee. That’s very kind of you. Well, I just want Gabby to be happy. I want the same for you, Lee. You all right?

Apart from the obvious weirdness seem a little edgy. Who, uh, me? No, not, not at all. I just hope that your evening is every bit as lovely as you deserve it to be.

I just heard Megan throwing a party tonight. How is that possible? You said she was taken care of. Now I’m not sure what’s going on, so I guess I’m going to my own eyes.

Hope you don’t get caught in a crossfire, Kate.

What do you mean? Stephan will be dead within the hour? Exactly what I said. I am throwing an engagement party for Stephan and Gabby tonight, and this is the exciting part. Dr. Rolfe has worked his magic on my man. Commander Harris. Michaels. Wait. Dr. Rolls is back. Oh, keep up. Ej. Yes, he’s back. And so tonight, commander Michaels Navy Seal and MAL trained assassin is gonna do the deed and kill Stephan in front of all of his friends and family gathered, except for you two Of course.

Oh, Kristen, you’re such a drama queen. No, of course not. I’m not gonna kill the two of you. I don’t think father would be very happy about that. Megan, listen. Listen, if you, if you let us go, we swear, sorry, that we will not implicate. You will say nothing about any of this, right? And your word is your bond, isn’t it?

What the hell is that? CRS 17. Ring any bells? Ralph tried to inject your son with it in Jakarta to raise his memory. Good boy, you do remember, but you won’t soon. Now, don’t worry. As soon as this drug takes full effect, I’ll be back for you. Okay? So listen. Let’s just try and make this as quick and easy as possible.

Okay.

I’m in the mansion. I walked right in through an unlocked door. Apparently Damira security is at Mar-a-Lago levels. Probably shouldn’t print that for the world to see. Dateline 6:00 PM I couldn’t overhear the conversation between Count Dracula and his creepy mother, but given how shocked Megan was when I came through at the tunnels the other day, I am certain they’re hiding something down there.

And I will bet whatever it is, will shed some light on how those two are conspiring to screw over. My best friend.

Hey. Hey, uncle Chad. Oh my God, thank God. Actually, would you, Mike? Yeah. Family member. I actually know. And Blake? Yeah. Back at you. Uh, do you guys know Wendy? Oh, we haven’t met yet, but I have heard a lot about you from trip. Oh. Oh, don’t worry. It’s all good. Um, in fact, what, um, he mentioned that you two might be dating, but nevermind obviously, um, given that you two are on a date right now, I shouldn’t have said No, no, no, no.

It’s okay. Uh, actually trip and I. We did have a date earlier today, so we’re, we’re calling, uh, just to be, we’re calling this a date, no? Yep. Uh, none of our business. Um, Wendy, Johnny, I hope you have a fun night. Yeah. Good evening everyone. Have you all met Gwen Rizek? Yeah, we’ve met. Not only is she my beautiful date for the evening, but I’m also hoping that tonight she might do me the honor of accepting my wedding proposal.

No, sorry, what? Did you guys know each other from Europe? No, actually we didn’t, Tim. Well, Yes, it is true Gwen and I just recently met, but, uh, we both agree that we share a very deep connection on, on many levels and hope that you all can be happy for us. I guess not. Mm-hmm. It’s all right, Dimitri. We don’t need anyone’s approval, do we?

Oh, good. Because, um, we’re not gonna get it from me.

Look, everyone, for people who hate us and each other there, you see, I told you we should have stayed home. Hmm.

Ah, command Michaels. You’re back, sir. What’s going on? You have a very important mission to carry out. Do you remember what.

Oh my goodness. I’m over here. Right here. Okay. Sit down. Thank you. Yeah. And comfy? Yes. All right. Um. I’m gonna get you some water or some, would you like some soup, baby? Don’t go

listen, I, I just wanna say I know it, it must have been difficult for you to be in the hospital with me and I just want you to know it means a lot. I’m just glad I could be there for you. Not as glad as I am.

Damn it should. I’m slipping away by now. My, my memories. I’m trying, but I can’t do it. I can’t hold me neither. Oh my God. How, how, how do we help Stephan now? Oh,

OMG guys. Wtf.

Oh. Cue face, Megan. Hello Kate. Lovely to see you. Do I smell fish? I can’t believe it. Sorry. I’d love to stay in chat, but I’m late for a very important date. Mission accomplished my ass.

How’s it going? It is, as I said, it would be. Commander Michaels is like a heat seeking missile singularly focused on destroying his target, but only the target. My sister at that party press assured my boy Michaels is programmed only to harm. Stephan

keep thinking though, won’t everyone suspect Megan immediately? I mean, she brainwashed Michaels before, so yes, I took care of that. I just hope you didn’t let him go before he was fully ready. Remember the disaster was Stephan. Rest assured my boy. My work may be experimental in nature, but the procedure is complete when you will be a happy beneficiary.

Yes, yes. Steph will be gone. Gabby will be mine again, and this time my hands will be completely clean. Hey, where is the host? I mean, people are starting to get a little restless honored. Guests welcome now. Please accept my apologies for the delay in order to make this a really special night tonight. I had to bring a bottle of my father’s very favorite champagne.

Just took me a little longer to get it than I expected, but I’m here now and I’m so glad that you are all here too, because there is nothing in this world more important than family is there. I am so grateful. But you have all welcomed me back into your bosom,

and I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to host this lovely gathering for my newfound brother and his gorgeous bride to be. And I just know that father is smiling down on us now. Happy to see us all together again. Whoa. At least most of us. Yeah, very few of us. And yes, I know that we have our differences, but we overcome them, don’t we?

That’s what families do. Well, normal families like yours. My sister Megan, she’s an assassin. Thomas Banks had to kill us, so all those things are a little bit hard to overcome. Mm-hmm. I am so sorry for all of the lost years that we could have spent together, but I look forward to the many, many happy years to come.

And now I want everyone to grab a glass of champagne so we can toast the happy couple, the lovely Gabriela and my charming brother Stephan. Oh my God. Paris Michaels. What the hell are you doing here?

Update written by Joseph

Tripp talks on the phone to Steve, telling him how sorry he is to hear about Abe. Tripp notes that Abe was pretty much family to most of the town.

Eric enters the DiMera Mansion and tells Nicole that he wanted to come see her as soon as he heard about Abe. Nicole asks what about Abe.

Chloe and Xander eat together at their apartment but Xander says he doesn’t have much of an appetite. Chloe calls that unusual and asks if it’s about finding out that Gwen is getting married. Xander admits it was a bit of a shock. Chloe asks if he wants to talk about it.

Leo questions Dimitri’s proposal to Gwen and asks where the ring is. Dimitri agrees and says to let him do this the proper way. Dimitri then gets down on one knee to propose to Gwen. Leo says the answer is a hard no. Leo admits the ring is huge but insists there is no way that Gwen is accepting his proposal. Dimitri asks what Gwen says. Leo says he first has his own question, like what the hell is actually happening here.

Xander tells Chloe that there’s nothing to talk about. Chloe says he doesn’t have to pretend not to care about Gwen. Xander says he only cares but he doesn’t feel good about hurting her and admits she has been through a lot, so she does deserve some happiness. Xander argues that Gwen and Dimitri have known each other for five minutes and questions how he can make her happy. Chloe asks if he’s talked to Gwen about it. Xander says they are hardly on good terms. Chloe comments on Xander still being protective of Gwen. Xander says Gwen can make her own decisions, he just doesn’t want her to end up making one that she will regret for the rest of her life.

Sloan visits Colin in the interrogation room. Colin reiterates that he’s going to take his chances at trial. Sloan states that she came to inform him that Abe Carver is dead.

Eric shocks Nicole by revealing that Abe is dead, noting that they haven’t recovered his body yet but they have a witness who says they saw Abe fall off the docks in to the water. Nicole argues that he could’ve survived then. Eric calls it very unlikely and adds that Rafe and Eli found Abe’s blood and his hospital bracelet at the scene. Nicole says she can’t believe this even though she knew it was possible when he went missing. Eric apologizes as he thought she knew. Nicole holds back tears and repeats that she can’t believe this to be true. Eric notes that Abe loved Nicole so much. Nicole cries that having Abe in her life meant so much to her as he was in her corner no matter what. Nicole states that even when she felt alone, she always had Abe and he never judged her. Eric acknowledges that she was like a daughter to Abe. Nicole wonders what she’s going to do without Abe. Eric hugs Nicole as she cries.

Wendy tells Tripp that it’s awful how Abe died. Tripp calls it a tragedy and says he feels so bad for Abe’s family as well as Steve and Kayla. Tripp notes that he’s glad to be here with her. Wendy thanks him for a wonderful dinner. Tripp brings up revisiting their goodnight kiss that got interrupted when Johnny called to cancel their date. Wendy thinks that would not be wrong at all as they kiss.

Chloe asks Xander how worried she has to be of how protective he is of Gwen. Chloe talks about spending a good portion of her life in relationships with men who are conflicted, unavailable, or a hot mess. Xander assures that she should not worry about he and Gwen. Xander admits that he was thrown to find out that she’s getting married but insists that he’s totally over Gwen. Chloe says that’s good to hear. Xander then admits that Sarah may always be the one that got away.

Nicole finishes a call with her brother Brandon about Abe. Nicole can’t imagine what Theo must be feeling right now and wants to check on him. Eric tells her to let him know if she needs anything. Nicole thanks him for checking on her and says it means a lot. Eric reveals that it was actually Sloan’s idea which Nicole questions. Eric explains that they were together when he got the news about Abe and he mentioned how close Abe and Nicole were, so Sloan said he needed to come see her right away. Nicole admits that was nice of her and jokes that maybe Sloan does have a heart. Nicole then remarks that Eric probably already knew that since he’s trying to have a baby with her.

Colin tells Sloan that Abe being dead is the best news he’s heard all day. Colin calls it tragic and says he didn’t have anything personal against him but argues that he was asking for it by marrying in to the family who destroyed their family and continuing to support Chanel and Paulina. Sloan questions that making him happy. Colin responds that he’s all for anything that causes Chanel and Paulina to suffer and now they know what it’s like to lose someone they love. Sloan complains that she’s not going to sit here while he dances on a man’s grave. Colin mocks Sloan having an epiphany and deciding that all was forgiven. Colin asks if Sloan is on the path of righteousness now. Sloan thinks back to faking the paternity test. Colin asks what she’s thinking about. Sloan responds that she’s not all goodness and light at all as she calls herself a complete hypocrite.

Gwen tells Dimitri that he doesn’t have to answer Leo. Dimitri says he will address Leo’s concerns. Dimitri declares that he’s fallen head over heels in love with Gwen and he wants to marry her because she’s the most captivating and fascinating creature he’s ever met, so nothing will make him happier than knowing she is his forever. Leo asks how gullible he thinks they are and insists that he has an ulterior motive. Dimitri thinks back to leaving Megan a voicemail about their plan. Dimitri says it’s clear that Leo is a loyal and devoted friend of Gwen’s and he’s sure it hasn’t been easy to watch various men of questionable character cause her pain. Dimitri argues that he and Leo aren’t enemies, they are allies because they want the same exact thing and that is to see Gwen happy and safe. Dimitri claims there is nothing in the world that he wants more than to marry Gwen, but if she can’t find it in her heart to accept then he will withdraw his proposal. Gwen realizes that Dimitri was just trying to get Leo to stop being a pain in the ass, but she does not need anyone’s blessing to marry him. Dimitri says he would hate to ever put her in the position of choosing between him and Leo. Dimitri acknowledges that this all happened very fast and asks Leo to avoid judgment to give him the opportunity to finally give Gwen the happiness that she deserves.

Chloe acknowledges that Xander has always been honest with her about Sarah. Xander says that Chloe has always been the same about Brady. Chloe states that’s why they have been taking things slow, but she wants to move on. Xander says he does too and he knows what’s going on between them is brand new but it feels right. Chloe says it does to her too. Chloe adds that she was just talking to Nicole about this. Chloe admits that Nicole wasn’t thrilled but she told her that she won’t talk her out of exploring things with him. Chloe adds that Nicole didn’t agree to back off, but they talked and she felt like it was acceptance. Chloe then brings up that Nicole asked if they have slept together. Chloe says she was vague as she doesn’t kiss and tell. Xander then kisses Chloe.

Tripp and Wendy continue kissing until they are interrupted by a knock at the door. Wendy answers the door to see Johnny.

Colin asks Sloan how she is a hypocrite, insisting that she can tell him anything. Sloan responds that she did something that might really hurt Eric. Colin guesses she was screwing around since she’s not a one man kind of girl. Sloan says with Eric, it’s different. Colin asks if she’s finally found someone she’s serious about. Sloan confirms that she loves Eric. Colin asks how bad what she did was. Sloan says it doesn’t matter but Colin urges her to confess to him on how she sinned against Eric. Sloan then reveals that Eric’s ex-wife Nicole is pregnant and the child could be his.

Eric knows Nicole thinks his relationship with Sloan is a bad idea. Nicole stops him and says he doesn’t owe her an explanation. Eric remarks that it seems like she needs one. Nicole says she was just thrown off guard when Sloan blurted out that they were trying to have a baby. Nicole wonders if Sloan was just trying to get a rise out of her, but Eric thinks that Sloan is just excited about the idea. Nicole asks if having a baby was Sloan’s idea. Eric says they came to it together. Eric admits that Sloan saw how disappointed he was when he found out Nicole’s baby was EJ’s. Nicole knows Eric has always wanted to be a father but she wasn’t sure since they both know how complicated this would’ve been. Eric knows somehow they would have made it work, so he admits that part of him was hoping her baby was his. Nicole then gets a sudden stomach pain.

Sloan explains to Colin that she swabbed her own cheek and that’s what the lab got sent so neither Eric or EJ were actually tested. Colin encourages that she got what she wanted and Eric is free to be with her but Sloan says she feels terrible about it. Colin points out that she doesn’t feel terrible enough to tell the truth. Sloan talks about everyone she’s lost, her parents and now Colin going away to prison, so she was terrified of losing Eric to Nicole. Sloan says Eric has always wanted to be a father and he has decades of history with Nicole. Colin feels she was leveling the playing field and that she did what she had to do to hold on to someone she loves and there’s no shame in that. Sloan feels there is shame in deception. Sloan encourages her to let it go and enjoy the victory because after everything they’ve been through, she deserves a win. Sloan tells Colin that she wants to make up for what she did by giving Eric a baby that they know for sure is his.

Nicole gets through her pain. Eric asks if she’s sure she’s okay. Nicole assures that the pain has passed. Eric asks if she wants to get checked out but Nicole declines and blames her lunch. Nicole then gets another pain so Eric says he’s going to find EJ. Nicole stops Eric and says he isn’t going to find him as he hasn’t been here for awhile which is why she was upset when he first came in. Eric asks where EJ is. Nicole responds that he went away on a last minute business trip and she hasn’t heard from him since. Eric questions EJ not calling. Nicole says it’s just been the occasional text. Eric asks where he is or when he’s coming back. Nicole says he hasn’t said. Eric questions what the hell EJ is up to and if he’s bailing out on her and the pregnancy. Nicole doesn’t want to talk about it. Nicole continues feeling pain, so Eric decides that he’s taking her to the hospital and walks her out of the mansion.

Leo brings up that Dimitri wanted his head on a spike not long ago, but now he wants his blessing to marry Gwen. Dimitri states that he was rightfully upset with him for costing him the emerald, but now things have changed and Gwen is the only treasure that matters to him. Gwen calls that awfully sweet. Dimitri asks Leo if they can put their differences behind them since he’s clearly very important to Gwen which makes him very important to him. Leo admits that he said all the right things even if it all rang hollow. Leo adds that maybe he is overly cynical and distrustful because of his parents. Leo reluctantly agrees to allow the marriage against his better judgment. Gwen mocks needing his permission and reminds them that she hasn’t given Dimitri an answer yet. Gwen jokes that now that Dimitri and Leo have made up, maybe they should ride off in to the sunset. Dimitri says he’s pretty sure he and Gwen are the better couple. Dimitri tells Gwen that he loves her but she doesn’t have to answer him right now. Dimitri notes that tonight, his mother is throwing an engagement party for Stefan and Gabi, so nothing would make him happier than having Gwen on his arm. Dimitri suggests maybe the happy occasion will inspire her to accept his ring.

Wendy tells Johnny that she thought he was staying with Chanel. Johnny says Paulina came home, so he left to give them some privacy. Tripp asks how Chanel is doing. Johnny says she’s not great as it’s a terrible loss for all of them. Wendy says she’s so sorry for what they are going through. Johnny hoped that he and Wendy could still go out for dinner or catch a movie. Wendy informs him that she already ate with Tripp. Johnny asks if he was interrupting something. Wendy admits that he was because when he called to cancel, she made plans with Tripp. Johnny guesses he should leave them to it then, but Tripp gets called in to work at the hospital. Tripp tells Wendy that he had a really great time tonight. Wendy says she did too and they kiss. Tripp suggests tomorrow they can pick up where they left off. Tripp then goes to get ready as Johnny wishes him luck. Johnny tells Wendy that it seems she’s available tonight after all and invites her for dessert.

Xander and Chloe continue kissing. Xander asks if she still wants to take things slow. Chloe responds that this feels right. Xander says he can see where this is going but he doesn’t want to rush her. Chloe asks if he wants to wait. Xander says not even a little bit and they continue kissing. Xander stops and takes his shirt off. Chloe asks why here and if he wants their first time to be on a couch. Xander admits he doesn’t and asks if she wants her bed or his as they continue kissing.

Gwen accepts Dimitri’s invitation to the engagement party and says to put a pause on the proposal. Gwen hopes that doesn’t disappoint him. Dimitri says he can’t be disappointed as they will be together tonight. Dimitri adds that maybe sometime soon, they could be together every evening as he kisses her. Leo tells them to get a room as they continue kissing.

Johnny and Wendy have dessert in the town square.

Tripp works at the hospital as Eric brings Nicole in and says she needs a doctor right away. Nicole explains to Tripp that she’s 2 months pregnant, has a searing pain and a history of miscarriages so this is a high risk pregnancy. Tripp hurries them to an exam room.

Xander and Chloe continue kissing until they decide on going to her bedroom. Xander carries Chloe in as they continue kissing on to her bed and they undress each other then they have sex.

Leo repeats to Gwen that he just wants her to be happy. Gwen thanks him and promises to tell him if anything happens at the engagement party. Gwen goes to get dressed. Leo remarks to himself that he hopes this works out for Gwen because usually when a guy seems too good to be true, he’s no good.

Dimitri exits the Salem Inn and comes across Johnny and Wendy in the town square. Dimitri calls Johnny his favorite young cousin. Johnny introduces Dimitri as the cousin he just found out he had, to Wendy. Johnny points out that they are on a date and hoping for some alone time. Dimitri says he was just stopping by to see if he was coming to the party. Johnny questions what party that would be. Dimitri informs him of the engagement party that Megan is throwing for Stefan and Gabi at the Bistro. Johnny starts to say they have plans but Wendy says she would love a party. Wendy points out that it might be a little weird since she was almost Gabi’s sister-in-law but she really likes her and she’s glad that Gabi is marrying the man she loves. Johnny tells Dimitri that they will see him at the party then.

Colin questions if Sloan is trying to have a baby with Eric just to hold on to him and calls that desperate. Sloan argues that is not what she’s doing. Colin asks if she’s sure. Sloan responds that she loves Eric and feels guilty about costing him the chance to be a dad. Colin points out that she wasn’t sure the baby actually is Eric’s. Sloan agrees and says the point is that Eric desperately wants to be a father. Colin asks if she wants to be a mother. Sloan repeats that Colin is the only family she has left, so she wants her family to grow. Sloan adds that if her child has Eric as a father, they have a real chance at being happy. Colin decides he hopes it happens then and that Nicole’s baby isn’t Eric’s. Sloan responds that either way, she fixed it so that no one will ever know.

Tripp tells Nicole that her vitals all look good but they should get blood work and a sonogram to see what’s going on with the pregnancy. Tripp goes to find the OB on call and leaves the room as they thank him. Eric wonders if Tripp assumes he’s the father. Nicole says that doesn’t matter. Eric agrees and says he’s here for her and the baby. Nicole thanks Eric for being there as she doesn’t know what she would do if she was alone right now. Eric says she doesn’t need to worry about that.

Xander and Chloe kiss in bed after having sex. Chloe says so much for taking it slow. Xander assures that he has no regrets about what they just did. Chloe suggests they do it again as they continue kissing.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 Dad, I’m, I’m so sorry to hear about Abe. I know how much you, and you and Kayla loved him.

Yeah. I mean, he was pretty much family for most of the town.

Eric, what are you doing here? I wanted to come see you as soon as I heard about Abe. What about Abe?

You hardly touched your burger friend. That’s unusual for you. Yeah. That kind have a big lunch. Is it that, or is it because you had that run-in, in front of the pub, finding out that Gwen’s getting married? That was a bit of a shock. Do you wanna talk about it?

Do you are asking me to marry you officially? Okay. What the hell kind of proposal was that? What was wrong with it? For starters, I don’t see a ring, and I have a rule. If a man isn’t willing to go down on bended knee, he is not a man worth marrying. You know what stuck? You are absolutely right. Forgive me Gwen, let me do this the proper way.

Oh wow. That is a, that’s a large diamond. That is a very, very large diamond. Now allow me a second chance, Gwen Sek, who you do me the great honor of becoming my wife. The answer is a hard no.

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

God’s sake, mate. Okay? That thing is huge. The ring, I mean, but I’m sorry, Freo, you’ve wasted the money you worked so hard to inherit because there is no way Gwen is accepting your proposal. Damn it. Matt. How do you say? Hell no. And Almanian, you are aware that I’m proposing to Gwen and not you. So Gwen, what do you say?

Well, well, Gwenny, before you answer that, I have a question of my own that needs answering. Like what? Like what the hell is actually happening here?

When’s getting married to some eurotrash phony? What is it to talk about? Just like that my appetite came back. You know, you don’t have to pretend like you don’t care about her. Chloe, I only care about her because when we were together I ended up really hurting her. I feel good about that. In spite of everything she’s done, Gwen has been through a lot.

She deserves some happiness. And you don’t think the man she’s mirroring can give her that they’ve known each other for all of five seconds? I mean, how can it possibly work out? It’s all too fast. Did you tell Gwen that? I haven’t talked about it. She and I are hardly on good terms. I told him if you done anything to her, Gwen, you’ll answer to me.

So you’re still very protective of her. Gwen’s a grown woman. She can make her own decisions. I just, I don’t want her to make one that she’ll end up regretting for the rest of her life.

If you are here to try and convince me to change my plea, save your breath. I’m gonna take my chance at trial as your lawyer. I’m well aware of your position, so this is just a sisterly visit. Then I came to give you some news. Abe Carver is dead.

Abe is,

he’s dead. They haven’t recovered his body yet, but they have a witness who said he saw hate fall off the docks of the water. Okay. Well, he, he could have survived that, right? It’s very unlikely they said he could have already been injured. Raven and Eli said they found his blood and a hospital bracelet at the scene.

No way. Bye. I can’t, I can’t, I can’t believe this. I, I mean, I, I knew it was a possibility when he went missing, but, but still, I, I didn’t, I didn’t let myself think that I, I’m so sorry, Nicole. I just, I thought you knew.

He, you be, I, I, I, I mean, I, I can’t, I can’t believe this. To be true because he, he was the dearest est man. I He loved you so much. Yeah.

And having him in my life meant so much to me. I, I mean, having someone in, in, in my corner no matter what, and even when I felt all alone, I always, always had Abe.

And no matter how much I disappointed him through the years, he never judged me because you are like a daughtered him. Oh my god.

What am I gonna do without him?

Oh God.

So awful about Abe and the way that he died. Yeah. Such a tragedy. And I feel so bad for his family, my dad and Kayla,

I’m glad to be here with you.

I’m glad to. And thank you for a wonderful dinner. Oh no, this is just fish tacos. Uh, no, just fish tacos is something you get at your local fast food chain. Okay? What you put on this plate made me feel like I was sitting on a cliff overlooking a beach in Mexico. Well, no think you’re not. Maybe not a little thick, but I’ll take it.

Who knows? Maybe we’ll uh, go there together for real sometime. I’d like that. But for now, this, uh, this date was a pretty good placeholder

one. I was just wondering if, uh, to be wrong, to revisit that goodnight kiss. When they got interrupted, you mean when Johnny called to cancel our date? Yeah, that’s what I mean. So what do you think?

I think it would not be wrong at all.

So on a scale of one to 10, Sorry, what? On a scale of one to 10, how worried do I have to be about how protective you are of your ex? Wait, do you really want a number? Well, I’ve spent a good portion of my life in romantic relationships with men who are, um, unavailable or conflicted, or just a plain hot mess.

So I figure we should just get it all out onto the table. Chloe, you should not worry about me and Gwen. So is that a one? It’s a zero. Look, I admit I was thrown to find out that she’s getting married, but no, I’m totally over, Gwen. Okay, that’s, that’s good to hear. However, in the spirit of. Total honesty. I should admit that maybe Sarah will always be the one that got away,

and I will always think of him as a father no matter how long ago things ended with him and mom. Yeah, you too. And we’ll, we’ll video chat later. Okay. I love you too, Brandon.

You already knew about Abe. Theo told him, oh, I can’t imagine what he must be feeling right now. I should check on him. Yeah, I think you should be with your family. Just let me know if you need anything because you’ll be there for me. Thank you for checking on me. It means a lot. Actually it was Sloan’s idea Sloan.

She and I were together when I found out. I just, I mentioned how close you and Abe were and so said I needed to come see you right away. Oh, no, that was nice of her. Maybe she does have a heart, but you probably already knew that since you’re trying to have a baby with her.

No, that, that is the best news I’ve heard all day, Colin, a man is dead. And, and that’s, that’s tragic. I mean, I, I guess I, I didn’t have anything personal against Abe Carver. Uh, you bashed his skull and with a rolling pin in the wrong place, wrong time. And honestly, he was asking for it by marrying into the family that destroyed ours and continuing to support Chanel and their mother after we’d found out what they’d done.

So that makes you happy. I’m all for anything that causes Chanel, Dupree and Pauline and Price to suffer, and now they know what it feels like to lose someone you love. Dammit, Colin, I’m not gonna sit here while you dance on the man’s grave. I’m sorry. I forgot you had an epiphany and decided they’re always forgiven.

They’re on the path to righteousness. Oh goodness. And life

Sloan. Where, where did you go? What are you thinking about? No, I just said, um, I’m, uh, I’m not, All goodness and light at all. Actually, I’m a complete hypocrite.

You don’t have to answer him, Dimitri. Oh, no, no. It’s all right. You’re a friend. Well, he has doubts about my intentions, and I’m willing to address those doubts. Very unconvincingly, I’m sure. Oh, whether you’re convinced or not, Maddie. But, uh, today you don’t get to call me that. Only GW gets to call me. That fine Leo.

The truth of the matter is that I have fallen head over heels in love with this glorious woman, and I wanna marry her because she’s the most interesting and utterly captivating creature that I have ever met. And nothing will make me happier than knowing that she is mine forever and ever, and ever and always.

That’s you addressing my doubts. By laying on the schmalz with a trowel, how gullible do you think we are? Hey, what? What? Hey, look, as someone who knows a thing or two about laying on the schmalz and almost always has an ulterior motive, I could smell this man’s ulterior von Motive from a kilometer away.

Yes. Hello, mother. It’s your son, Dimitri, yet again. Yeah, I think it’s a little odd that for the last month you have done nothing but nonstop nag for me to bag a wife so that you get your hands on this funnel, your fortune, and you will not answer my calls or call me back to tell you exactly what it is that you want to hear.

I asked the risk check woman to marry me. She hasn’t accepted the proposal quite yet, but let’s just say I am very confident that you will. Leo, it is clear that you are a loyal and devoted friend of Gwen’s, and I’m sure it hasn’t been easy having to watch over the years as various men of questionable character have caused her pain.

Yep. Just like the man of questionable character standing right in front of me. But what you don’t realize is that you and I we’re not enemies. We are allies because we want the same exact thing. Oh, please. And that is to see. This rare and, and wondrous woman whom we both love, happy and safe. Now, there is nothing in this world that I want more than to marry you, Gwen.

But if you can’t find it within your heart to grant us your blessing, well then I will withdraw my proposal once.

I realize that you were just trying to get Matty to stop being an absolutely royal pain in the ass, but, um, I will have, you know that I do not need his or any man’s blessing to marry you. Now, yes, of course. I, I didn’t mean to offend you, but it’s just that I know how close you and Leo are, and I would hate to ever put you in the position of having to choose between me and your friend because you know damn well that she would choose me.

Nabi, please stop it, Leo. Now I know that this is all happening very fast. What is, you mean you suddenly getting physical with me and staring into my eyes? No, I mean, somebody falling in love with your BFF and proposing to her. Oh that. Mm-hmm. And if Gwen does decide to be my bride, do you think you could reserve judgment and allow me the opportunity of finally giving her the happiness that she’s earned?

So do you need a number for how worried you should be about me and Sarah? Huh? No. You’ve always been honest with me about her. Just like you’ve always been honest with me about your feelings for Brady. Which is why we’ve been taking it slow. And slow is good, right? Yeah, it is. Uh, it was, but uh, I wanna move on.

That’s fair. I mean, I know what’s going on between us. It’s brand new, but I, it just feels right. It does to me too. I’m so glad to hear you say that. Actually, I was just talking to Nicole about this, huh? Well, I bet she was thrilled. Oh yeah. Really thrilled. Yeah. No, not at all. But I did tell her that even though she’s one of my best friends, she is.

Not gonna talk me out of exploring things with you. So she agreed to back off? No, not at all. But we did talk. She asked me questions, she gave me her opinions. And um, you know, we talked about you like any other relationship, and I feel like that’s a semblance of acceptance. My resignation. What does she ask?

You know, the usual. Okay. Like one of the first things she asked was whether we had slept together. And what did you tell her? I was vague. I’m a lady. I do not kiss and tell. That’s good to know. Wait, does that mean that you’re not gonna tell her about this?

I’ll go get rid of.

So tell how are you a Hypocrites loan?

Come on. You know, you can tell me anything.

I did something that might really hurt Eric. Let me guess. You were screwing around. What’s, no. Why would you say that? Because I know you and I know you’re not exactly a one man kind of girl. Yeah, it was with Eric. It’s different. He’s, he’s just not like any of the other guys I’ve been with. So you finally found someone you’re serious about.

Yeah. I love him. And now you are worried that you’ve done something that’s gonna come between you. How bad boy is it? Oh, it doesn’t. It doesn’t matter. Simon, come on. Your boyfriend would be the first one to tell you that confession is good for this whole. So tell Brother Colin, how are you sinned against Eric?

Eric’s ex-wife? Nicole Walker is pregnant and the child could be his.

I know you think my relationship with Sloan is a bad idea. No, stop. Sorry. I am sorry, I, you don’t owe me an explanation. Well, it seems like you need one. Well, I,

I was just thrown off guard when Sloan blurted out that you two were trying to have a baby. Okay. Was, I mean, was she just trying to get a rise outta me? No, I think it’s more than that. I think she’s excited about the idea.

Okay, well, having a baby, was it saloon’s idea? We came to it together. Slung saw, she saw how disappointed I was when we found out the baby was DJ’s.

You were I, I mean, uh, I know that you’ve always wanted to be a father. I just wasn’t sure, especially since we both know how complicated this would’ve been, right? But I know somehow we would’ve made it work.

Have to admit a part of me was hope, hoping that baby was mine.

Oh, ah, are you all right?

Oh,

So, so you’re telling me that this Nicole woman is pregnant with your boyfriend’s baby and she doesn’t know that it’s his, I said it might be his, it could still be EJ Damir, right? Because neither of them were actually tested. I swabbed my own cheek and that’s what the lab got sent. Interesting. So the only thing that we do know is that.

You are not the father of this child. I’m glad you find this so amusing. Come what you want me to feel? Sorry for you? You got what you wanted then you, Eric, is free to be with you. Yeah, but I feel terrible about it. Not terrible enough to tell the truth. Look, when I found out that Nicole was pregnant, I started thinking about everyone I’ve lost.

Mom, dad, and now you. I’m right here. For how long, Colin? You’re going away to prison. We see. Anyway, the point is, is I was terrified of losing Eric to Nicole cuz if he finds out that she’s carrying his child, then missed, a good guy will go running him back to her. Eric’s always wanted to be a father and he and Nicole have like just decades of history, so it’s bad.

So what you were doing was leveling the playing field. You did what you had to do to hold onto someone you love. There’s no shame in that. Sloan. Oh, there’s shame and deception, Colin. Just let it go. Enjoy the victory after everything that we’ve lost. You deserve a win. Yeah, I suppose I do. Just trying to make up for what I did.

You mean for taking away a baby from Eric? That might be his. And how are you gonna make up for that? By giving him a baby that we know for sure is his.

Oh, yeah. Okay. It’s, it’s gone. Are you sure you’re okay? You know what, I don’t, I don’t know what the pain was, but it’s passed. Well, do you want to go get it checked out? Oh. No, it was probably the peanut butter and onion sandwich I had for lunch. And the butter and onion. Yeah, with a cinnamon raisin bagel.

Oh, that sounds delicious. I know. Gray beans. I would explain it. Yeah. Ow. I’m gonna go find ej. No, no, no. You’re not gonna find him. Why? Well, he’s hasn’t been here for a while. That’s why I was so upset when he came in earlier. Where is he? I dunno. He went away on a last minute business trip and I haven’t heard from him since.

He hasn’t called, well he sent the occasional text. Where is he? Did he say when he was coming back? No. What the hell is he up to? Is he bailing out on you in this pregnancy? You know what, I don’t. I don’t wanna talk about it. Okay. Oh God. I’m taking you to the hospital. Come on.

Oh,

so not so long ago you wanted my head on a spike. Now you want my blessing to marry Gwen. Not to mention you’re warming up my shoulders. I was rightfully upset with you for costing me that emerald. But things have changed now. Gwen is the only treasure that matters to me. Oh, well that is awfully sweet, isn’t it?

Leo, in a dime store Saccharin kind of way. Aaliyah, please can we put our differences behind us? You’re clearly very important to the woman that I love and therefore, Very important to me. Okay, fine. Fine. You said all the right things, albeit in a very insincere way. So it all rang hollow, but maybe that is me just being overly cynical and mistrustful because my parents treated me like crap.

Consequently, I have never felt respected. Love didn’t have serious self-esteem issues. Oh, for God’s sake. Dimitri’s not your shrink, Matty. Well, forgive me for being open, honest, and authentic. And if Gwen had, let me finish, what I was going to say was,

I will allow this marriage against my better judgment. Wow. Wow. How very generous of you. Indeed. Thank you very much for your grudging permission, Matty. And might I remind you both that I have not given Dimitri Nancy yet, and given that you two have now kissed and made up, you know what? Maybe you two should just ride off into the sunset together.

You know what? I’m pretty sure that we are the better couple now, Gwen, I love you. I love you so much, but you don’t have to answer me right now. Tonight my mother is throwing an engagement party for another happy couple. My Uncle Stephan and his Gabriela, and nothing would make me happier than having you there on my arm.

Who knows? Maybe the romantic occasion will inspire you to accept this ring.

Johnny, I I thought you were staying with Chanel. Yeah, yeah. No, uh, Paulina came home, so I, I left to give him some privacy. How are Chanel doing? Not great. It’s a terrible loss for, for all of them. For, yeah. I’m so sorry for what they’re going through. Me too. Uh, but look, I was, uh, I was hoping that maybe you and I could still go out, grab some dinner, maybe catch a late movie I already ate.

I made fish tacos. Yeah. Oh, oh, I’m, I’m sorry. Was I, uh, was I interrupting something? Actually, you were, when you called and canceled. I made plans with Trip. Well, I better just, uh, leave you to him then. Great, great. What, what is it? Dr. Sitz has the flu. I had to go cover her shift. Like I, I really don’t wanna leave.

I had a really great time tonight. Me too.

Maybe tomorrow we can pick up where we left off Maybe. Johnny,

good luck.

Well, uh, it seems like you’re available tonight after all. Look, I know trip made dinner, so, uh, What do you say about getting some dessert?

So,

uh, Still wanna take things slow. Well, like you said, this feels right. It does. But I can see where this is going and I just, I don’t wanna rush you. Sorry. Do you wanna wait? Not even a little bit.

Whoa. What are you doing? Oh, I’m sorry. Did you wanna take my shirt off? No, I just went, why here? Uh, do you want her first time to be on the couch? No, I don’t. So, uh, you bed online.

Yes. Yes. Does that mean No. No. Wait, now I’m lost. As am I? Yes. To the party pause on the marriage proposal. Fair enough. I’m sorry if that disappoints you. Knowing that we’ll be together this evening, how can I possibly be disappointed and who knows? Sometime soon we’ll be together. Every evening,

get a room. You two just left this one.

Oh, what’s going on there, buddy? Oh, what? We asked for three scoops. I know you ordered, uh, strawberry, which whatever. I ordered chocolate because I’m not a monster. And the cookies and cream in the middle, we’re supposed to be sharing. Okay. Mm-hmm. I admit the sharing gene doesn’t exactly run in my family, but I could learn, are you sacrificing your cherry?

Well, that’s not much. I like you. And for the record, this is my first bite of cookies and cream. I won’t go beyond my half. Oh, you better not. I’m watching you Damara. Right. I got your shit.

Uh, trip. Hey, hey, hey guys. What’s going on, Nicole? She needs to doctor right away. What’s wrong? Uh, uh, I’m two months pregnant and I, I have a siring pain right here. I have a history of miscarriages. And this is a high risk pregnancy. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Okay. Look, Let’s get you to an exam room. Uh, see what’s happening tomorrow this way.

Okay. We didn’t, we didn’t make it very far. I’m working on it far to either bedroom. Sorry. I’m. Kind of eager. Okay. E eager is good. So your room, I didn’t make my bed and my room is super messy. Okay, well then let’s go make a mess of mine.

What do you think? I think Count Chola doesn’t deserve you looking that hot tonight. Come on. I thought you were gonna give him a chance. I am. I will. I But Gwynnie, I’ve said it before. It bears repeating. I just want you to be happy. Thank you, Matt. But listen, if anything juicy happens at the party tonight, I promise I will.

Text Lady Whistleblower post taste. You better.

Oh, I hope this one works out for me, buddy, because usually when a guy seems too good to be true, he’s no good at he coming.

Well, well, well, if it isn’t my favorite young cousin, oh, well, I am flattered Wendy Shin. This is my cousin who I just found out I had Dimitri Vaughn Locher. Nice to meet you. My pleasure is all mine. Looks like you’ve made some damage out of that Sunday. We’re on a date hoping for a little alone time.

Johnny. What we’re family, right. We can be honest with each other. Of course. I was just stopping by to see if you were coming to the party and what, what party might that be? The engagement party that my mother is throwing for your Uncle Stephan and Gabby Hernandez. It’s just at the bistro. Oh, well that sounds great.

But our plans are, I love a party. Do you wanna go? Sure. I mean, it might be a little weird since I was almost Gabby’s sister-in-law. Oh. But, um, I really like her and I’m glad that she’s marrying the man she loves. Wonderful. Hmm. Well, I guess that settles it We’ll, uh, see you at the party.

So wait, you, you are trying to have a baby with Eric just to hold onto him. That seems a bit desperate. That is not what I am doing. Are you sure? I love Eric and I feel guilty about costing him the chance to be a dad even though you are not sure that Nicole’s baby is actually his right. I. No. I mean, odds are it’s e J’s baby.

I mean, those two are actually together, you know? And Eric and Nicole, they hooked up once when they were both highest kites. But anyway, the point is, is that Eric desperately wants to be a father and you wanna be a mother. Yeah. You and I are. All our family has left. Of course. I want our family to grow, and if Eric is the father, then my.

Son or my daughter, she has a real chance at being happy,

and I hope it happens. I hope you have Eric’s baby and. Nicole’s baby isn’t his. Either way, I’ve fixed it so that neither Nicole or Eric or anyone else will ever know

your vitals all look good. Uh, but we should get some blood work in the sonogram, see what’s going on with the pregnancy. I’m gonna step out and find the be on call. So sit tight. Okay? Okay, thanks. Hang in there. Thanks.

I think the trip assumes that I’m the, oh, it’s that it doesn’t matter, right? What matters is that I’m here for you. The baby.

Thank you Eric for being here. I, I don’t know what I would do if I was alone right now. You don’t need to worry about that.

Wow. Well, so much for taking it slow. I can honestly say no. I don’t have a single regret about anything, just.

Do you? Maybe we should do it again and find out.
