THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Hey, I’m glad I caught you. It’s me. Perfect timing. I just got home from work. Nice. Um, well I was just wondering if you had any plans for tonight? Not so far. Why? I thought I’d take you to dinner. Dinner tonight.

Yeah. Hey. Oh, I’m so glad you’re home. I just got back from court where I gave an hour long summation and three inch heels. Maybe you should take them off. I can’t wait. But the worst part about the summation was that the whole time my mind kept wandering really,

I kept thinking about you really, really?

And you know what I was thinking when I was thinking about you? What’s that?

How I can’t wait to make you a father.

Hi, Pedro. It’s, it’s me again. I, I was just wondering if he just checked in and told you when he might be back. Okay. Thank you. Knock, knock. Hey. Oh, Harold, let me, Chloe, this is such a nice surprise. It was good to see you. You too. I know that you had that appointment with a specialist yesterday. I wanted to know how it went.

Um, pretty well. I mean that the doctor thinks that I can carry this baby to term. That’s great news. Yeah. Nicole, I’m sure you and EJ are just thrilled. Well, I am, uh, I don’t know about ej. What’s that supposed to mean? I, I don’t know. I, I, I haven’t talked to him for days. It’s like he’s fallen off the face of the earth.

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 she will.

Where’d you get those? The front desk. Apparently they were sent to our room. Now let’s find out which of my many suitors is trying to rekindle my flame. Oh, they’re for you. For me. From who? From whom? Kale Surprise or from Dimitri. Hoping these will inspire you to contemplate my proposal. Anxiously awaiting your answer, Dimitri Ha.

Fat chance dude, like you would consider marrying that guy. Actually, I am considering it.

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

So mother, if you give a damn at all about your son’s future, please give him a call back. Hey, uh, wait a minute. Are you Dimitri Von Weisner? I am. And you are Son Cook. Okay. I’ve never heard of you. I co-own the Spectator with Gwen Risk check. Couldn’t help but overhear your phone call just then. So you listened in on a private call.

Well, I listened in when I heard you say the word, a risk check, unusual name caught my attention. It was still a private call. Well, I only caught the tail end. You know the part where you said that you asked her to marry you.

You’re seriously considering marrying that tectonic twat. You don’t even know him. Well, I know him well enough in the biblical sense. You slept with him once and now you’re thinking of tying the knot. What does he have a magic penis? Well, it didn’t pull a rabbit out of a hand. Okay, then if he isn’t David Copperfield of the bedroom, why would you even think about marrying this guy?

Yeah, I’d love to have dinner with you. But I do need some time to get ready. Okay. Well, what do you say? I pick you up in one hour. Perfect. See you then.

Hey, Chanel, what’s the matter? It’s, it’s, Is he still missing? No, he’s, he’s dead.

You asked Gwen to marry you. You, you barely know her. She only interviewed you once. Oh, well it was an in-depth interview. You called her that risk check woman. Yes. If I’d called her my darling dearest Gwen, my mother would’ve no idea who I was talking about. Ah, and you seem to be more interested in my affairs to call than my own mother.

No contrary more to me. I don’t give a damn about you all your affairs. It’s Gwen. I’m worried about, obviously, and my question to you is, Mr. Cook, why do you care who Gwen marries?

I don’t understand why it’s considered to be so crazy to want to marry an attractive man. He finds me interesting and he, he wants to spend time with me. I’m an attractive man. I find you interesting. I wanna spend time with you, but I don’t think you should marry me. Yes, Matty. Dimitri and I don’t sit around gossiping about fashion and Harry styles tattoos, and how long have I been saying I need to just get over Sandra and finally move on with my life?

Well, it’s one thing to sleep with someone on the rebound, even to have a rebound thing, but you can’t have a rebound marriage. This is not a rebound. And the reason why I took so long to get over Xander is because I’ve just been waiting for the right man to just come along. And you think Hare Dimitri, who you’ve known for a nanosecond, is the right guy?

He might be. He, I mean, he takes all the boxes off, doesn’t he? He’s tall, he’s rich. He’s, he’s really handsome and he’s so romantic. I. He’s so romantic and after all, my beyond dysfunctional relationships, I have to say, it’s really nice to be the one being pursued like Katniss in the Hunger Games. I haven’t seen that, so I don’t understand the joke and I don’t plan to anyway.

God bloody hell, Matty look after the way I grew up and you know that. That’s why I’ve always thought that there was something wrong with me, and Dimitri understands that. Because he lived that as well and he sees me for me, who I am and he still wants me anyway. Look, Gwenie, I get wanting to have that kind of connection with someone, but I also get all too well how painful it is when you find out it was all just an occlusion.

What’s he saying? What I’ve been saying all along Gwen. This guy, he, he’s playing you. Why can’t you see that?

So EJ disappeared on this mysterious business trip and you haven’t heard from him since? Well, I’m, he texted me a few times saying that the trip went longer than he expected. That’s it. Well, when I asked, he said that he couldn’t go into detail. I mean, I, I. I get it. You know, Demira business is confidential.

Nicole, you are having that man’s baby. He doesn’t have to share his business affairs, but he does need to call you to see how you’re feeling, how you’re doing. I agree. I do. It is just that something’s off Chloe. I mean, he was so excited to have this baby and he was concerned about me and, and he’s the one who pushed me to go see the specialist, you know?

And now not only could he not be bothered to go to the appointment and he didn’t even bother to call to see how it went. Oh honey, I’m sorry. I just. I wanted a better father for my baby.

So you think we made a baby? Well, if we didn’t, it wasn’t due to lack of effort, we can always try again. You know, double our odds. Hmm.

You really want this, don’t you?

Sorry, Eric, I just can’t risk losing you to Nicole if this baby ends up being yours. That test has to come back negative.

Oh, I just, I know how bad you want this and how important it’s to you. Listen, having a baby, I mean, raising a child, it’s, it’s a big commitment. It’s a lifetime. I hope you’re doing this not just for me. No, I’m not. I

I want this for myself too. I want this for both of us.

Trip. I didn’t hear you come in. Oh, you were on the phone. I didn’t wanna interrupt you. So was that Johnny? Yeah. Sounded like you two were making a date. He asked me out to dinner tonight. Damn. Yeah, he beat me to the punch. You know I was gonna offer to make you dinner when you got home, but, uh, So I get for showering first.

Mm, sorry. So when are you expecting him? He’s picking me up in an hour. Okay. Then that gives us plenty of time for what hour date?

My God. What, what happened? I, I called Eli to see if there was any updates and he told me that, well, that they found blood on the docks and Abe’s hospital bracelet and that, and now he’s on his way to go. Tell Lonnie. Did they, did they find a body? No, but there was a witness who saw him go into the water and he never came back out.

And they, they haven’t found him, but they, they. They, they think you drown.

I just can’t believe it. It just, it doesn’t seem real. Abe was, uh, he was a great guy. He didn’t deserve this

well. Um, I should go. Um, Eli said that Jada and Ray were on their way to tell Mama, and so I, I, I have to be there so that she’s not alone. You sure you’re okay to drive? I have to be, I, I have to be there for my mom. She needs you in one piece. Come on. Lemme take you

Eric. I meant what I said before. Both my parents are dead Collins in jail probably for a very long time. I mean, the odds of him having kids are pretty slim. I’ve got no cousins. I’ve. I know uncles or aunts when she’s, I really have no extended family, so if I wanna be surrounded by family, I have to create that for myself.

I’m a big family and they drive me crazy, and I can’t imagine life without them. I envy that my family. You know, which is pretty obvious was messed up. But raising a baby with you would gimme a chance to kinda move past all of that, you know, make up for the mistakes that my family and die made.

It’s, I just feel like it would be, Chance at redemption. Yeah. That, in other words, I mean, if I, if I can be a good mom, maybe I can be a good person.

You know what may, maybe I, I’m being too hard on ej too hard. You literally just said it was his idea for you to see that specialist and then when the appointment comes, he just flakes. Well, I, I mean, he had a good reason I. A business trip. Look, it’s, it’s the company. It’s, it’s the de mere legacy. It means a lot to him.

And it’s not like I didn’t know exactly who he was when we got back together. I mean, I was married to the man twice, so. You’ve accepted him. Flaws and all

I have. Okay. And I think that you should accept the fact that I have done the same with Sander.

I care who grand marries because we used to be involved. In fact, we were nearly married newly. It didn’t work out, obviously. Obviously. Yes. Your law seems to be my gain. Sander. Xander. Yes. Xander. That does ring a bell. And yet you said you never heard of me. Well, it didn’t register at first, but now it does.

Yes. Gwen told me all about your history. She told me all about how you hurt her and now how she’s doing everything in her power to move on from you.

You think Dimitri’s playing me. For God’s sakes, Quinnie, I’ve been saying that all along. Why is my thinking that this guy is a devious dirt bag news to you? Why is my thinking that his wanting to marry you is not coming from a pure place and that schmuck’s heart surprising to you? Okay. Okay. It’s not a surprise to me.

I know that you have not trusted Dmitri from the start, but what you are not seeing here is that the relationship has changed. Oh, I’m seeing it. It’s gone from casual and terrible to serious and alarming. Will you just listen to me please? Me writing a favorable article about Dimitri is one thing, but him marrying me, I mean, how is that gonna earn him Any respect?

I’m an ex-con for God’s sake. I’ve screwed over half of the people that I know. Not to mention the fact that I don’t have a bloody dollar to my name. So what on earth do I have to offer him? How does he benefit from making me his wife? Can we have a date? I mean, you said Johnny’s not picking you up for an hour, right?

Right. But. I need time to get ready. It takes you a whole hour to get ready. Uh, no, but even if I hurry, it’s won’t be long before Johnny gets here. Okay. Then it’ll have to be a quick date. Come on. I don’t know. What do you say? We mean back here in 15 minutes for a 45 minute date. I bet you I can show you a better time in 45 minutes than Johnny could over a three course meal.

Okay. You’re alone. I’ll see you in 15 minutes.

What does me dating EJ have to do with you dating Xander? Well, if you know, if you’re okay with all the things that ejs done, Do you think that you should lighten up on Xander? You were kind of hard on him the other day with good reason. For God’s sake, Chloe, he kidnapped me and Holly and, and Bonnie and Susan, and he left you with a murderous drug, Lord, in Mexico I know.

And EJ kidnapped Sidney. Remember that? Look, we could spend the rest of this night cataloging all of ejs and Sanders crimes and. Trying to figure out who’s more appalling or whatever. But for the sake of our friendship, please, I think we should stay off of that topic. I, I think we should refrain from commenting on each other’s person of interest.

So you’re telling me that Xandr is likely to remain your person of interest. Possibly. So how serious is it? You don’t wanna know if it’s serious. You wanna know if I’ve slept in it well, have you? Not yet. Ah, I bet you’re going to.

Gwen and I had a complicated relationship. Complicated by the fact that she lied, cheated and fed my fiance psychosis, inducing drugs to sent her to a mental institution. Huh. So you were in a relationship with Gwen and had a fiance. It was a very complicated relationship. Yes. And it’s over now, and the fact that you still work with Gwen doesn’t change the fact that you have no right.

To anything in her personal life. That’s not your call. Well, let me put it this way for you, Xander. I don’t like it when people comment, let alone interfere. In my personal life, these people, they usually regret it. I make sure of that. Well, that’s wonderful. We have something in common cuz if someone hurts someone that I care about, then I do still care about Gwen.

They also end up regretting it, and I also make sure of it.

Look, I don’t know what Dimitri wants, but he sure as hell must, wants something. Wow. You really know how to flatter a girl, don’t you look gwenie. It’s not your self-esteem I’m worried about. It’s your happiness. I am trying to protect you from being a jilted bride. Again. That’s it. Darius. I married Darius because he needed a green card.

Maybe that’s what Dimitri needs since he’s from Transylvania or whatever. He’s not from bloody Transylvania. And where is he from? Last chance Iowa cut and shoot Texas. By the way, those are names of actual places I Googled. Weirdest American city names, committed them to memory to use for an occasion just like this.

Wow. How very, very clever of you. And now back to the point, it doesn’t matter where Dimitri’s from because he’s in this country legally, how legally, and even so maybe his visa’s about to expire or maybe just maybe he actually loves me and he does wanna spend the rest of his life with me. Did you ever think of that?

What are you thinking? Mm. I’m thinking I’m starving. Me too. You want to go down and get some dinner in the pub? Sure. But first, why don’t you call your mother? My mother? Why? Well, remember I told you a few weeks back. That I’d suggested the four of us having dinner. Yeah. You can invite her and John and we can tell them the good news that we’re trying to have a baby.

No, not on the first dinner. Maybe we should just kind of ease them into this. Okay. You’re right. You know what? I will call my mom and ask her if she and John are available for dinner tonight. How’s that? Mm-hmm.

Hey, mom, the reason why I’m calling is because Sloan and I wanted to know if you and John will join us for dinner tonight. What? What happened? What happened with Abe? Mama? Mama, you home?

I don’t think she’s here. Yeah, well, Eli told me that, that Jada and Ray were coming by. So what if she doesn’t know what happened to Abe

Jada? Hi. Um, yeah, yeah. Eli told me about Abe. Um, but I, I just got home and my mom’s not here. You did? Okay. Um, thanks for letting me know. It’s, it’s okay. Johnny’s here. Okay, thanks.

They, uh, they talked to your mom when they told her. She insisted on going down to the dock, so, They’re there with her now. Okay. Uh, you, you, you want me to drive you over there? Jada said that as best if I just stay here. That way when Mama comes home, she isn’t alone. But you, you don’t have to stay though.

I, I’m sure you probably already have planned, so it’s really okay. No, it’s not. I’m gonna stay here until your mom gets back.

Trip.

You look very lovely. Thanks. Ready for our date.

Okay. This one. Ah, okay. Okay.

What? Yeah, how did you do that? Carefully. Okay.

Which one? No. Oh yeah. What? Ret. Nice and quick.

Okay. Yeah, I saw that one coming. I usually don’t lose at this game. Oh really? Yeah.

Of course it is possible that Dimitri loves you. You are eminently lovable. It’s just not likely. Because you are eminently cynical. I am protective of my best friend is what I am. And look, don’t shoot the messenger. I’m just saying as someone who knows a thing or two about cons, I can spot one a mile away and gwenny this dude is up to something.

I will bet you my favorite Rainbow Chino shorts.

Is that a threat? It’s more like a promise. What are you gonna do? You’re gonna run a nasty article about me. Oh, that’s right. You haven’t been in town long enough to know about my past careers, have you? Well, I’ve had a few past careers myself. Great. I hope that experience serves you well, cuz if you do anything to hook win, spectator’s gonna be the least of your worries.

Look, I don’t know what’s gonna happen between Xander and me. We haven’t been together that long, obviously, and that would be a big step. And you mean sharing a bed with the man you already share an apartment with? Uh, okay. All right. Whatever you and Sander do is your business. Okay. Thank you for acknowledging that.

Mm-hmm. And speaking of, I have to go Sander’s picking up some dinner from the P, but I love you. And I hope that EJ comes home soon. Yeah, me too. Been a little lonely lately. Well, aside from whoever is hanging out in here, well, I’m always here for you all. I know. Thank you. Love you too. Yeah, yeah. Thanks for letting me know.

I’m sorry too.

Bye. Geez. What happened? Someone saw Abe Carver fall off the docks this afternoon. They’re sending divers in. They presume Dead. Dead. Oh my God. I’m so sorry. Has he just been wandering around this whole time? I’m not sure why. Oh. Cause I was thinking about what this means for my brother. I mean, when Abe went missing the, the first thing I thought of was, you know, Dick Collin killed him.

But if this all happened this afternoon, I mean, well, Collin’s in jail, this could be really good news for him. I’m so sorry, Eric. I was so insensitive. I know what Abe meant to you and your family and, and Colin caused them so much pain. I’m sorry. Yeah, I need to, but listen, I understand you love your brother.

Oh, no. What Nicole? He was like a father to her. She’s just, I know. I, I had no idea. She’s gonna take the snooze really hard when she finds out. I mean, she go see her. You want me to go see Nicole, Eric? She’s gonna need a friend right now. That’s very kind of you. And as you know, as a lawyer, you probably shouldn’t let that get around, but you’re a good purse.

No, you did it. I mean, you packed a whole date into 45 minutes. Well, I’m glad you enjoyed it. If you know the date’s not over yet. No, no, no. You can’t leave out the kiss. Goodnight

Johnny.

Hey, Johnny, are you on your way? Um, no, actually, uh, I, I ran into Chanel and she just found out that Abe is dead. What? Oh my God. Yeah. Um, I mean, you know, I saw her, she, she was so upset. I, I didn’t want her to drive. So I’m here at her mom’s apartment now. Um, she’s with the police, her, her mom. I mean, um, look, I, I don’t think I can leave Chanel alone.

No, no, of course not. And I don’t know when Pauline’s gonna be back, so I’m not really sure when I can get over there. Okay, Johnny, don’t worry about it. I’ll do it some other night. No, no. I’ll be there. No, look, I can’t imagine how Chanel must be feeling right now. You have to stay with her and you can’t just run out when her mom gets there.

You’re right, you’re right. I, uh, I can’t, um, I’m really sorry. Don’t be, I’m just really glad that you were there when she needed to. Thanks for being so understanding. I’ll, uh, I’ll call you later.

Was that Wendy? Yeah. Yeah, it was. Did you two have plans for the night?

I, I can’t believe it. A, was one of my dad’s best friends. Seemed like a lot of people left him, especially Chanel. I mean, she lost her own dad a while ago and he was the only father she had left.

Johnny, it’s so good of you to be here with me, but honestly, you don’t have to stay. Look, don’t worry about me. Okay. Look, I am happy to stay for as long as you need me. Sure. I’m sure there’s no way I’m leaving you.

Oh, hey, I, uh, got the spicy chicken sandwich extra pickles. Oh, thank you. Did you remember the hot sauce? Of course, yes. Is everything okay? Yeah, yeah, sure. You seem a little distracted. Yeah, I guess I have, I kind of a weird runin outside the pub. Really? Yeah, I was one. Dimitri v Ner. Looks like he and Gwenna getting married.

Did it ever occur to you to just. Keep your doubts to yourself and just wish me the best. I don’t keep my doubts to myself because I wish you the best, and marrying that card. Carrying conman would be a train wreck, a plane crash, a tsunami, followed by a winter ice storm, followed by a catastrophic typhoon.

Hi. Hi. Hi. I hope you don’t mind me stopping by. No, not at all. Oh, I see you got my flowers. Yes. Um, did. Um, they’re so lovely. Although next time you might wanna spring for a larger arrangement. Leo, weren’t you just leaving? No, I wasn’t.

Oh, he doesn’t bother me. One learns to simply ignore Ladies in waiting. Ignore me at your own peril. Von Leischner, by the way, I Googled that name. It’s derived from the German word fleisch, meaning meat, and the suffix’s man, meaning man. Thus, the word means butcher synonymous with terminator, slaughterer slayer.

Take your pick. What brings you by Dmitri? I was just in the neighborhood and I was wondering now that you’ve had a bit of time to, uh, think about it, would you do me the great honor of becoming my wife?

Oh, here’s to hoping you’re in there, baby. So I don’t have to feel so guilty about what I did to Eric’s paternity test. Uh, then again, maybe there’s no reason to feel guilty. Maybe EJ really is the father of Nicole’s baby. After all. Ej, I know you’re busy, but if you could let me know

if you, if you have. And the idea when you’ll be back,

dammit. Damn it. Dammit. The father of my baby does not walk through that door. In the next five minutes, I am gonna scream.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Hello boys. I’m back. How long is it gonna take you to get this place up and running after you provide the supplies? I’ll need no time at all if I don’t have to improvise with kitchen appliances this time. You’ll have top shelf equipment. I assure you there is one vital component of my project that’s missing.

It’s a subject you want me to work on? Patience, doctor, our friend, the Navy Seal will arrive very soon.

What do you want me to do? Cry. Plead for my life.

Truth is I’ve been expecting you, Michaels,

you specialize in gunning down the defense list. Just ask those people that you sent to a watery grave in the aja. So what are you waiting for? An engraved invitation.

Sorry I didn’t call first. Oh, Phil honey. That’s okay. You know, I’m always glad to see you. Do you have news? I do. I was just at the police station when a call came in. After that, Eli called Rafe and took off in a hurry. Oh, what was it called about? I’m thinking it was a lead. Something that’s gonna tie that nurse to what happened to my dad.

I don’t see anything. Yeah. Well, we gotta know for sure right now what we have is this guy’s word.

Charlie. I know that the visit with Theo was a little stressful, so why don’t we just sit and watch a little bit of body and soul. All right. But you’re gonna have to tell me who’s lying to who because it’s. It’s hard for me to keep up.

Okay. You know what to do when you get down to the dock, right? I should. I’ve gone over it like 50 times. Aleena. Aleena. Oh, uh, what? You didn’t hear me just now. You looked like you were a million miles away.

Did you get a good look at him before he went in the water? I, I, it all happened so fast. All right. Well do best to describe him, uh, my height, but older. Yeah, that could be a lot of guys. Like I said, it was fast. Yeah. Okay. Look, This is the guy that we’re looking for.

Gabe Carver.

Yeah, that was him.

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

Just calm down, Megan. Nobody’s getting shot.

The only time I ever pulled the trigger on somebody, unarm is when you were messing with my head and I have to tell myself every single day that it wasn’t me, that it was you. And now your days of making people do whatever you want are over. You’re going somewhere. Somewhere. You’ll discover new levels of misery every.

Single day, I’m a guess Disney World. Joe, call you one. You won’t be laughing when you get there. May I know why you’re doing this. To stop the insanity to stop you from doing whatever you’re planning to bow or hope or Kate. Funny you should mention Kate, tell me what’s her role in this cute little stunt of yours.

So you and rave. Thanks for this. Okay. I am not gonna pressure you into sharing more than you’re comfortable with, but I saw your face when I guess that you and Rave were upstairs together, right? A few hours earlier where you were over there at that very table and you were sharing how you felt about him.

So, uh, Well, I also told you that there are certain rules in play to stop me from acting on those feelings. Mm-hmm. Well, rules are made to be broken, especially silly ones. Come on chair. You just don’t give up, do you? Never. All right. All right. Okay. So Ray came over to give me some really good news about my sister, which was a huge relief, obviously.

And you know, one thing led to another. And that’s all I’m gonna say. Well, I am very happy for both of you. I really am. Thank you. He’s a great guy and you are a great catch and I, I really hope it works out for you. Thank you. So where is he now? Oh, he had to go. He, yeah. Well, one of us needs to be out looking for him.

Trying to figure out what happened to him.

I’m not sure about this guy. He was a little nervous to me. Yeah. Well, why wouldn’t he be? I mean, seeing somebody fall into the river and then just disappear. Yeah. Well, I still want to dive team in forensics all over this. Look man, you make the call. I’m going in. What? No, you’re not going in Not without scuba equipment and dive team.

You’re not. This is Abe. I need to see for myself. E Eli, Eli.

I was just thinking how happy I am that your test results were so good. You know, you’re not only on the road to recovery, you are in the express lane. Oh look, the commercial’s almost over. You know, I, I don’t wanna watch that show. You don’t. No. You know, it’s such a, a beautiful day outside. When do we get outta here?

Let’s go to the park.

You. You wanna go out? Yeah. Why not? It’s a nice warm day. Oh, it’s not just warm, it’s actually hot. You just got outta the hospital. You’re nowhere near ready for that kind of exertion. Oh, come on now. You can drive us to the park and we’ll sit on the bench. Listen to the birds. I, I know I’m up to that. You were just telling me how, how, how great my, my test results were.

I know what I said, but No, no, no, no, no. No box. No box. Come on. He’ll me get dressed and then we’ll go out and see what I’ve been missing. Oh, so you think maybe it was someone who recognized your dad and Ray and Eli, they’re on their way of finding him and bringing him back maybe so. Oh, oh, wouldn’t that, wouldn’t that be Oh, Uhuh uh, no.

No. No, no, I’m not going there. Not yet. Uhuh. I’m not getting my hopes up. Just, just have ’em dashed again. No, I have done that this too many times already. Uh uh, uh, uh uh. I’m not going there. I’m not going there for yo No, don’t. More wishful thinking. Oh, no, I can’t do it. I can’t handle it. I can’t handle it.

I can’t handle it. Theo, come inside. Oh, I got you. It’s okay.

I can see how this is affecting you, and it’s not my place to tell you how to deal with it, but I can tell you what’s been working for me and what is that? I know what you mean about not getting your hopes up, but hope is all we have right now. And until somebody I trust tells me that I’m never gonna see my dad again.

I’m gonna believe that they’ll find him. My dad and I, we’ve been through bad things before. A couple years ago I got shot and I went into a coma. Nobody knew if I was gonna regain consciousness. Sweetheart, what? Kate told me that my dad never stopped believing that I was gonna come out of it.

Maybe I felt that maybe that’s why I pulled through, and maybe that’s exactly what Dad needs from us right now is to never lose hope.

I couldn’t say anything. The current could have carried him downstream. Yeah. Okay. If it was him. How about we wait for the divers? Divers next time? Okay. A man like Abe just doesn’t randomly hit his head and then just disappear, man. What the hell was he doing down here? All alone? Or how’d he get away from wherever it was that grabbed him?

Are you sure that the man you saw go in the water? Is the man in the picture? Uh, yeah. I, I guess maybe. What do you mean you guess? Listen to me. Abe is my wife’s father. All righty, Eila. He’s eila. Hey. Hey. Okay. Chill off. I’m, I’m sure, uh, as soon as I saw the picture, I, I knew. Okay. Hey, listen, we got all your information.

You don’t have to stick around. So don’t leave town. Okay. We’re gonna wanna speak to you again,

vla. All we have is that dude’s word. Okay. And the blood stain. Napes Hospital brace stain Forensics hasn’t even typed the blood yet. So we’ll follow up on evidence because that’s what we do, but we can’t get ourselves. We both know how this ends.

Okay? I’m outta here. You’re gonna expect a delivery soon. All you have to do is sign for it. I’m impressed with your preparation. But that doesn’t change the fact that twice you have promised to have Commander Michaels ready to do what must be done, and twice you have failed to produce him. I would hate to find that I’ve risk coming back here for nothing.

Your joy ride on Princess Gina Summer and wasn’t wasted. Doctor. This is being handled by Megan Damara herself. Did I say more?

You forget about Kate. I’m doing this alone. I wanna be the one to make sure you get what you deserve. I’m, I’m feeling properly threatened, I assure you, but I can’t help wondering. Why are you doing this now? What nudged you into it? And when I asked myself that question, I remember just how ruthless your friend Kate Roberts Brady has always been.

So let me guess. Kate wants me dead, but you held out for delivering me to my own private Siberia. Am I close? This conversation’s a waste of time and your boat is waiting. Well, you see, you should have listened to Kate. Your problem that you’re too much of a Boy Scout. You are only effective when I was giving you your marching orders,

Kate isn’t here Commander. It’s just you and me and Mr. Baretta in your right hand.

So I’m wondering what you would do if I were to suddenly turn and run for my life? Do you really have it in here to shoot me in the back?

I’m not gonna shoot you cause you’re not going anywhere except where I take you.

How you gonna spend all that time? All alone in the middle of nowhere.

Gosh, maybe you can take my mind off April while, why don’t you tell me about you and Raf. Well, I mean, there’s not much to tell. It’s still very new, obviously. Yeah, but you’re, you’re happy it happened, right? Do you have regrets, right? Oh, nope. None. We definitely wanna be together, but we have to keep it between us, you know, behind closed doors.

Well, I’m sure you’ll be able to manage that. Now comes the time when you should. Thank me for giving you such good advice. Thank you Kate. Your advice really was helpful and, and you know, I’m grateful to Eli too because he had a talk with Rave, apparently he picked up on the energy between us and he gave him some similar advice.

Oh, I gotta go, Ralph needs me down at the docks. Do you think that’s about it? He didn’t give me any details. Listen, Kate, you can’t tell anyone about rape and I, okay? My life is not an open book either, and believe me, I know how crucial it is to have someone you can trust, especially with your secret self.

It’s time to go. Don’t I get a teary goodbye with my old friend, Kate. Oh,

what? What is it? Just something they shoot at charging rhinos.

Oh darling, I know how impatient you are to feel better and those test results are great. Step in the right direction, but look at you. You can barely walk. Darling. You know you brought me home in the wheelchair, so why don’t we, why don’t we take that with us, then the exertion will be all yours. May I remind you that a man tried to kill you and unfortunately he is still out there on the loose.

I would feel so guilty if I put you in danger for even one moment. Spra day we’ll be in a public park. I, I am not going to live in fear. I’m not gonna be a prisoner in my own home. Oh, let me get the door darling.

Oh, Theo, I am so very happy to see you. Perhaps you can convince your father that it’s not time for him to go out yet. Actually, I think that’s a great idea. Come on, puffs. Let’s get you dressed.

Oh, I’m sorry if it sounded like I was preaching at you. You, you didn’t preach. You opened my eyes. I’ve been thinking about myself worrying if I could handle the stress and it’s Abe who suffering the most away from his loved ones. God know where likely scared out of his mind.

I’m gonna have to keep myself strong for him until he gets home. We both will. Okay. So now tell me more about this call that Eli and RAF got got.

Hi, is this Hi Dave? Yeah. Uh, 9 1 1. Caller said he saw guy who was wobbly put this pile on and then toppled into the water. There was blood stain on it and uh, we found Abe’s Hospital ID bracelet. Did you interview the witness? Yeah, I showed him a picture, said it was the eye he saw. Oh my God. So there’s still a chance that it might not be.

No, I hope so. Yeah. I’m not gonna tell Pauline about any of this. It’s all based on circumstantial evidence in one guy’s statement, if there’s a body in there, the divers will find it. One, the texts gave me a blood sample from the pylon. They want to do a DNA match with apes. They volunteered to be a bone marrow donor, so they probably still have his sample at the hospital.

I’m gonna take it over there right now. Okay. I’ll let ’em know you’re coming and it’s priority one.

It’s Paulino.

I gotta, let’s go to voicemail. I can’t let her know what’s going on. Not yet. I can’t. You did the right thing. She’ll only hear what you know now in panic. Yeah. When did the call come in? I hope it wasn’t when you and I were together. Well, I know what you’re thinking. Just stop. I get in here a little bit sooner, I wouldn’t to change anything.

We’re here now and we’ve got a job to do much as we’re dreading what we might find.

I’m sorry to be bothering you again, Rafe, but as soon as Theo told me you have a had a lead. I, I had to call. Uh, so, uh, please call me back if something happens. Even if it doesn’t seem so important, and just so you know, I am filled with hope that you are on the verge of him finding my Abraham and bringing him home to me where he belongs.

That I do. That was great.

A won’t be long. It’s just peeking out a shirt to wear. What the hell’s the matter with you? Didn’t you hear me tell you to back me up? Oh, I heard you loud and clear. Then why did you shoot off your big mouth? I’m trying to make people think that he’s dead. Don’t you forget that’s why I hired you. I did everything like you said, and so far it’s going exactly the way you wanted to.

Okay? The cops think that Abe fell off that pier and drowned, and they’re using the evidence that I planted to prove it. Wait a minute, what do you mean? So far, when I left, they were calling in divers and crime scene investigators and pouring everything they had into it. And you know what? When I signed onto this thing, uh, I thought I was taking on an acting job to help a sick man, but somehow it morphed into this whole.

Weird nightmare where I faked someone’s death and it just so happens to be the mayor of the damn town. And I’m the one on the line with the cops. And you know what I think that costs for? I think it costs for a raise a big one. I am just a nurse. I’ve already paid you everything I’ve got. Well, you better figure something out then, because if I don’t get the money that I want and I’m going straight to the police station, then I’m blowing your whole little world to Smith Rains.

It seems like you should have shuffled me off while you had the chance. This change is nothing

you keep telling yourself that. I suppose you are wondering how this happened, but don’t waste your waning energy trying to figure it out.

You had this little thing planted on my car, thought you had me right where you wanted me. The truth is, I had you the whole time.

They’re not gonna get away with this.

You didn’t put enough in you, al. He nearly killed me.

Come on. Michael says, you have had an update by now. It’s taking you so long.

What took you so long? He was just about to march me outta here at gunpoint. I had to get a roll, settled and answer questions. Doesn’t seem he has a lot of confidence in our ability to provide the subject. Oh, note to self. Next time hire a mad scientist who keeps his mouth shut.

Check his pockets.

Damn thing’s locked. Must have a special coat on it. What about facial recognition? His eyes are closed. Well then open his eyes.

Wow. Disable that feature for you. Next time you wanna use his phone, he’s not gonna be available. Right? It’s Kate seems she wants an update. I knew she was in on it. Well, forget about her for now. We’ve got work to do. Let’s get him outta here.

So you’re not just an actor, you’re a blackmailer now. I guess that makes me a double threat. I better go check on the ape. Oh. Oh. How’s your grandmother doing Better? Mm. Yeah. I’m so glad that I was able to get her the medication that she couldn’t afford. I’m sorry, Ms. King. God, I really am, but I’m afraid the cops are gonna try to pin this on me.

It’s probably not just them. By now. They must have called in the fbi. And you’re right. You are the one who broke all the laws. I did what you told me to. What are you talking about? I’m a nurse. I’m a respected member of the community who’s gonna believe you against me. You’re just a two bit actor, but the police have enough on you to send you away for a really long time.

Am well. Try to look on the bright side. Maybe there’s an inmate’s FI’s troop up there at Statesville.

Busy Helena. Think I should try again. No, no. I, okay. You’re right. You’re right, you’re right. No point. He will call when he knows something. Oh, I’m so glad you are here, Theo, darling. I’m glad I’m here too. It was driving me insane, being half a world away. We need to be going through this together. You got a real way about you.

Hm? You remind me so much of your father. When Abraham gets home, I am going to tell him what a, a wise and caring son he has raised. Then I’m gonna plant kisses all over that man.

Ooh,

damn. Stone a word from Eli.

I’m gonna call him. Hey, there he is. Hey man. What’s up? You were right. The hospital still had that blood sample of Abe, or if it was a match, the blood we found was his.

They’re sure. Yeah. Everything that God Jerry said was right. Ape’s gone. Oh.

Oh, I can’t believe this. Yeah, me neither. Look, I, I need to go tell Lonnie in person. There’s probably gonna be re reporters down there. This can hit the news. I look, I, I, I just need to tell her before she finds out I can’t, I can’t have her find out like that. Yeah, yeah. No. Um, yeah, you take off, man. I’ll handle it.

Ray. What about, um, Pauline and, and Theo? Somebody’s gotta tell them. I’ll tell her. I’ll tell her, man. You just dumb.

Take care. Okay buddy.

Wow.

Here we are. Time for our adventure. Uh, you know, I’ve been thinking pops and um, I think Paulina has a point. You changing your mind. But, but Theo, you were so set on giving your father what he wanted. Uh, I know, and like I said, I, I thought about what you said to Pops and then to me, and I realized you were right.

Uh, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have agreed to taking you out, and there are so many good reasons for you to stay put right here. So it doesn’t matter that I really wanted to go out. Oh, darling, of course it matters. But that’s why I was really trying to get behind the idea. But Theo knows what’s best for you, and he’s your son.

And of course we care and oh my goodness, who knows what would happen if we got out there. I can’t. I, I, I can’t take it anymore. I’m going over to that police station and make somebody talk to me. Wait, I, I thought you were gonna wait until you get that call back from Reef. No, I can’t just, I can’t just sit here.

Not one more minute. Now you don’t worry. I’m gonna be filled with, with hope and all of that, but I, I need, I need to hear something. Where’s my purse went? Oh, oh, oh God. Oh, hey. I was just coming to see you. Didn’t you get my message? Yeah, yeah, I did. And what? You have news? What? What did you find that, um, can we come in?

No. No, you cannot. I, um, no. You didn’t come here for this? No, I will not have it. You, you did not come here for this. I will not have it. I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. We, um, we find, but we did find some remnant stuff. Who was there? There was a witness. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no.

Well, wow. Commander Michaels, I should have known, I could count on you.

A guest is waking up. I don’t think he likes his accommodations. What are you trying to do? Same thing that you were just about to do to me. You woke up very quickly. I’m impressed. I expected you to be down for at least a few more hours. New strong one commander. But I doubt that you’re strong enough to resist what a good doctor has in store.

You know? What does that mean? In just a few short moments, you’ll be back under my control. No, no. I should have seen this coming. I’m telling you. I’m warning you. This is not gonna work this time. Woo. Did you hear that doc? Our friend here doesn’t have any faith in your freelance.

Oh no. Don’t worry. I have enough faith for both of us.

No, now.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

And I’m kind of knocking with breakfast. Those two in grapes will have a little bit more appreciation, but no. EJ ate a bit, but Kristen turned her nose up at everything I brought down. So high maintenance in their defense. Megan, I think it’s safe to assume being held captive isn’t the most enjoyable of pastimes.

Lee, we cannot have two turn coats on the loose now, can we? They cast their shadow across my bright vision of the future. I got what’s coming to them that makes them a tad cranky and impatient, and so be it. Oh, speaking of impatient, how’s it all going? Tell me you’ve got good news for me. I do. I’ll be leaving soon.

Well, if we arriving any moment, great. But you just make sure that he knows what we expect of him. Brainwash shares Michaels. I know. And soon, so will he. Excellent. Once I have Michaels under my control again. Nothing can stop us.

Hey, so we have a lot to discuss. Yeah. First, tell me about your friend, the mayor. Any news on his disappearance. No, no. I just talked to one of the detectives and they have nothing. Mm. Which really calls me because Megan Hathaway still free to stalk the streets, and he had Abe, a really good guy, really runs the best of us.

He’s nowhere to be found.

Oh, I think I need to go lie down. Can I give you a hand? Yeah. I think I need it.

You, you don’t seem very steady. Do you have like a, a cane or anything to help you out?

What do you mean? I mean, this is a, this is a new suit. Is is my tie to wife. Your clothes are fine then the problem is that ugly ass hospital of yours. Oh yeah. No. Paulina doesn’t like it either, but, but what do you want me to do? I, I’m still unsteady. I mean, the last thing I wanna do is wipe out walking down the aisle at my own wedding.

Well, that’s a good thing. Your best man’s got you covered. You that

something wrong. Paul pops,

you keep calling me Pops.

You’re not my son.

Thank you so much. All right. Appreciate it. Bye. Phil, please gimme about three minutes and I’ll come and talk to you. Um, before you go back in there, can I just ask. Why are you questioning that nurse about my dad?

When, when I reviewed the case file on the day that your dad disappeared, I saw that Ms. Whitley King left the hospital early and I wanted to know why. What’d she say? She said that she wasn’t feeling well. Do you believe me?

I’m sorry, Abe. F B I breathing down my neck. What choice do I have?

Poor baby. You’re gonna have to die. Hi.

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

Hey, hey, um, I’m sorry. Um, I tried calling but you didn’t pick up. Uh, yeah, I was, I was in the shower. I’m, I’m lucky. I, I heard you knock. Yeah,

me too.

Okay, but what if he starts asking me about his life? Oh, or mine. Oh my God. You’re an actor. Just improvise. Improvise. You’re right, right, right. Just make some stuff up. Like talk to him. Your your guys. Do guy talk. That’s just the amnesia talking pops. Look, I, I, I’m your son Theo, and I, I love you a lot. Uh, but you’re just really not yourself right now.

I may not.

And I just had just now a vivid memory of my wedding day, and it was as bright as day, and I was talking to my best man. My son

and it wasn’t you. Uh, you’re really starting to worry me, pops. Um, let me get you a glass of water. All right.

So much for these acting skills. Oh,

Now, here’s the thing. When a hospital employee is sick, the protocol is to leave immediately. So she did the right thing. But what got my attention is that when Ray questioned her, she didn’t even mention it.

Agent Grant, I I, I’m very sorry to bother you. Uh, I really must get home. Is there anything else that you need from me today? Is everything okay? Yes. Well, a actually, no. Uh, my cat is sick as I, as I told you, and, uh, my neighbor has to leave and so I must get home and tend to him. He’s very old and very feeble, so.

Yeah. Um, sure. Yeah, you can go. If I need anything, then you’ll hear from me. Oh, no problem at all. Right. Bye bye. Bye bye now. Mm-hmm. Thank you for coming in. Oh, thank you. No, thank you. Wow. Is it just me or does she seem super anxious?

Yeah, I’m sorry. I seem a little, um, Yeah, once I heard the news, I dropped everything and I rushed over here. Come in please. Yeah. Thanks. Um, so yeah, so Bell came to the station. She was looking for you and uh, I don’t have all the details yet, but evidently Trask is willing to cut a deal. A deal. Hmm. What does that mean?

It means that Talia probably won’t have to serve any jail time. Are you kidding? Oh no. Oh my God. Yeah. Oh my God. Yeah. Oh, I can’t believe this. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you so much. Yeah.

Oh, Lee, if my heart didn’t belong to another man, I would kiss you. Not necessary. I assure you. So you’re positive everything’s secure with EJ and Kristen. I am. EJ is away on a fictional business trip, so all I have to do is send text messages to his dopey girlfriend and Stephan with his phone. And Kristen, no one’s looking for her except for her daughter.

And all she does is text, preteen, dribble. So I’ve just parked her phone in a drawer and on to more important things. As I told you, I’ll be meeting Ralph shortly, right. Just remember it’s imperative. But he understands that time is of the essence. So whatever he needs, he has it. There’s something he needs that we haven’t discussed.

The commander himself, well, don’t worry about that. He’s well within our grasp and he will do away with Stephan while we keep our hands clean and in her grief. Gabby will turn to me. She will indeed, and my little brother, Stephan, well, he’s in for quite a surprise. Am.

Oh, I’m sorry. I, um, no, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have, uh, brave. If you hadn’t, I would’ve jaya sh Just listen, listen to me. Okay. I, I, I wound up running into Kate downstairs and we started talking. And, and maybe she told me what I wanted to hear, but what she said, it, it really, it really changed my perspective.

What would she say? I mean, she said that, you know, what we do at work is one thing and what gives anyone the right to police what we do in the privacy of our own homes. It’s, it’s nobody’s business. And, uh, I think Kate is. Absolutely right.

So look, I appreciate your concern for my friend, but we have other pressing things to talk about. Like Shawn ruining your plan to grab Megan. Yeah, well, she was armed, he was drunk. I had to get Shawn out of there. She could have killed him. She could still kill him. I mean, she’s still free to create whatever chaos she wants to, and she also knows that you’re coming after her.

So how do we proceed now that you’ve lost the element of surprise? Kate? I’m, uh, I’m well aware of the situation, Kate. That’s why I’ve already prepared for my next encounter with Megan before I even left the property.

Oh, you have to go. No problem. Chat for now.

I didn’t hear you come in. Hmm. Obviously not. So what’s this big surprise you have in store for me? Well, I’ll just say that there are bad surprises and good surprises, and this one is in the latter category somehow. I’m not comforted by that. Fine, I’ll tell you, spoil sport. Hmm? It has to do with the party that I am planning to celebrate your engagement to.

Gabby, you told us about that. It’s hardly a surprise. Ah, but not when I was gonna keep you in the dark until the main event. But I would like to say I wouldn’t make any plans for tomorrow night if I were you. Oh, well thank you. And now that you know. I guess I’ll have to figure out another surprise for you tomorrow night.

Feel, I suppose that anyone would be anxious if they’re being questioned by the fbi? Yeah, I guess, but I don’t know. She seemed super nervous when I was talking to her earlier in the waiting room. Really? Yeah, like her hands were shaking. So what did she say? You know about not telling Rafe that she left early Liberty and my dad disappeared.

She just didn’t think it was important.

What are you thinking? Maybe it was important and that’s why she didn’t say anything, Eli. Somebody took my dad from the hospital that day and Nurse King’s whereabouts are unaccounted for. So I just hope that you’re not ruling her out. Hey, uh, here, go pops. Uh, drink some water and you’ll be, I don’t want any damn water.

I wanna know who the hell you are. Pops. I’m your son. Who else would I be? Hello there. Oh, hi there. How are my two guys? How’s my father and son duo? Did you have fun catching up? No, we did not. Um, actually there’s kind of a problem. Paulina uh, pops keeps saying I’m not who I say I am. What? Oh no, what are you talking about?

Of course. That’s your son, Theo. That’s a damn lie. He is not my son. I don’t even know him well. Well darling, you’re getting all worked up. You know, let me go and get you some water. I don’t want any damn water.

I want the truth.

Paulina, I had a very clear. Memory of our wedding day. Your best man has you covered. That’s what my son said. My real son, not this damn posture. So now, now I am starting to question everything.

Theo, I’m not ruling anyone out just yet, including Nurse King, but the issue here is evidence. Okay. So what about security cameras? They’ve gotta be all over the place in that hospital. I checked the cameras. Nothing. Hey, yeah, that, that brings up a good point because Nurse King would know where the cameras are and how to avoid them.

But Frank was given Ms. Willie King’s Hospital record. I mean by the looks of this thing. It’s immaculate. I mean, there’s not one negative word in here. She’s caring, compassionate. It’s a model nurse. So we just give up on her. She’s a good nurse. So that’s it, dear. I know this is hard, okay? It’s hard for me too, but I promise you I’m not ruling anyone out just yet.

She also said that file says at all. No, I never said that this file says at all. In fact, before she got here, I put in a request to have a background check on her.

Fuck. Let’s go in the room and see where the FBI turned up. Promise you if she’s telling stories, it’s not gonna hold up under FBI’s scrutiny.

Oh, darling, you, you, you’re getting worked up over nothing. There’s a simple explanation for everything. There is nothing simple about this. Wow. This, he’s, this is not an imposter. This is your son, Theo. And your other son was also at your wedding? My other son, yes, Brandon. He was your best man, and you just are your memories getting all mixed up.

See, doesn’t that make sense?

Grief, I hope you know that I would never do anything that could jeopardize your career. Of course. I know that. Of course. I was just, I was shocked to hear you say that because I was thinking the same thing. Don’t tell me Kate got to you too. No, no, no. It wasn’t Kate, it was Eli. Yeah, he asked about us cuz um, I guess it was obvious, you know, but he is a detective and he also had been through a similar situation with Lonnie, although they were partners, he was not her boss.

Right. But they were meant to be. And even now. Even now, nothing can stop him. I mean, he is patiently waiting for her to get out and talking to Eli just got me thinking this doesn’t matter. Doesn’t matter about a rule or a law or anything. If it is meant to be, then it will be. So what are you saying? We’re meant to be.

I’m saying

I wanna find out.

Welcome home. What happened? Why are you wet? One of the hazards of traveling via a submarine. You came in a submarine, princess Gina, some point of fact, a fine mode of transportation, especially when one wishes to arrive by stealth. You understand if I’m a little wary of running afoul of the authorities given my hasty departure last time after deprogramming stuff in the mirror?

Well, Let’s hope your skills in that department haven’t rusted with time. Ah, it cut but be to mess with that poor man’s brain yet again. Relax. Relax. This isn’t about Stephan. You recall Commander Michaels, I assume the Navy Seal. Megan ve had me back on. Mm-hmm. She needs him back under her control.

Well, don’t leave me in suspense. How have you prepared for your next encounter with Megan? After, uh, getting Shawn out of the house, I placed a small tracking device on her car. I mean, she can’t stay cooped up there forever. Eventually she’ll come out and she’ll be mine.

I am sorry. I spoiled the surprise, Megan, but I guess it’s just as well, right? EJ won’t be back from his business trip by tomorrow, so I wouldn’t worry about EJ crashing your party. I would like to include Kristen though. Have you seen her? Kristen? Yeah. Kristen, her sister. Blonde lady roaming around here a little.

It’s funny, I, I poked my head in her room and her bed looked like it hadn’t been slept in. You wouldn’t know anything about our whereabouts, would you?

Well, we can’t keep anything from you, can we, I’m afraid. Um, Kristen is indisposed tomorrow evening as well,

so Kristen won’t be there. You know this because, I saw her leave. She said goodbyes and she headed outta town last night.

I don’t understand. Well, the door, the front door is right through there, and she crossed the threshold out into the world and closed the door behind her. Oh, Megan, you know very well. That’s not what I mean. Ever since Kristen has been back, all she’s wanted is custody of her daughter back. That’s all she talks about.

And so now you’re telling me just out of the blue, she books a vacation somewhere. I said that she left town. I didn’t say she was going to The Bahamas and she has not given up on her daughter. Quite the contrary. She’s taken a proactive step. You more than anyone else should know that Damira has cannibalized all of the competent lawyers in town here.

So she’s headed to New York to see if she can find a custody lawyer who can grind Brady Black into the ground. And she had quite a significant list to go through, so I shouldn’t imagine that she’ll be home anytime in the next few days. Maybe weeks. So you said she left last night? I did. If you were alone when I came in here, who’s that extra breakfast plate?

Belonged to

tell me. Mr. Shin says, what does Megan ha have up her sleeve this time? If I remember correctly, her last escapade was about an elixir for eternal youth. She goes by De Marina, and all you need to know is that she requires a unique talent to fulfill a very ambitious plan. So the question is, Dr. Rolf, are you up to the task of getting Michael’s back under her control?

My boy, this would be child’s play. I could do it in my sleep.

That was, um, better than I imagined. I’ll admit, I’ve done a bit of imagining. Me too. Oh yeah. Oh yeah.

So now what? Well, I don’t, I don’t want us to keep imagining, you know, being together like this. I, I want it to keep happening. For real. Me too. Oh, yeah. Oh yeah.

All right, so let’s see. Whitley King, born in Scottsdale, Arizona. Youngest of five. Father was a pastor, mother school teacher. She paid her own way through college and nursing school. I mean, it’s, it’s all pretty unremarkable. Uh, she’s on her own now, so she’s a loner. Now. Now she was married once, divorced, widowed, just a couple of years back, and no kids.

Anything else? I’m sorry, man, but this just isn’t the profile of a criminal.

Theo. I know you had your hopes up. But upstanding citizens don’t just turn the crime without a reason. And by the looks of it, this woman doesn’t have a reason.

Well, sweetheart, does that clear everything up? Hell no. It’s just the opposite. Why the hell didn’t you tell me I had another son? Why would you keep that from me, Abe? I know I should have told you sooner. I know, but. But, but you haven’t seen Brandon since the wedding. Um, actually, he doesn’t really approve of us, and I’m sorry to say, but the two of you had a falling out and I, I just didn’t wanna bring this up.

You had so much going on and I didn’t wanna share that tension with you. And I just, it would’ve seemed cruel, you know, but now it’s out in the open and, uh, Hopefully that just clears everything up now,

I suppose. Yeah. Yeah. And you,

I owe you an apology. I was, I was harsh with you before. That’s okay. Pops. Um, I’m, I’m just worried about you and, uh, I want you to get better. You know what, Theo, you’ve had such a long flight coming in from South Africa. You must be exhausted. Let’s get you to the hotel and rest up. Yeah, I am feeling a bit tired.

Yeah. Let’s, I’ll walk you out. Sure. Alright, come on. See, you see Pops? Yeah.

You are so lucky that he has another son. I, I leave you over two minutes and damn it Jerry, I told you to improvise in case something happened. What? I tried, improv is hard. Okay. You know what? Forget it. Just don’t have any time to waste. There’s something else I need you to do for me,

and don’t worry, there’s no improv. Just wait here for a second. There’s something I gotta go to first. Jerry,

what are you doing?

Don’t worry, darling. This won’t take long.

Oh, what won’t take long. I need to get a blood sample from you. Blood sample. Yes. Right before I came home, I got a call from the hospital. They want you to come all the way back down there just to get one little sample. I told him that you’re doing very, very well, but just not quite well enough to make that trip all the way back down there for something I could do right here in the comfort of our own home.

Okay? Okay.

Okay. Here’s an option. How about we never get out of this bed? And we just, we just leave the world and it’s stupid rules behind tempting, but

we both have jobs to do. So here’s another option. Okay. How about at work? We are consummate professionals committed to the forest. Mm-hmm. But behind and closed doors we’re committed to each other. Oh, I like that option a lot.

You gotta get back to work. No, no, no. I have to get back to work for you. You have to get that rest that I ordered you to get. Oh gosh. Mm-hmm. I knew you would find a way to pull rank, but you know what? Hmm? To complete that game, huh? And I am not going to let you leave without giving me another kiss. Oh, okay.

Mm-hmm.

There we go. All done. I’ll just run this down to the hospital. You know, I could go with you, huh? I think I’m feeling up to it. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. You stay here and rest. I insist I’ll be back at two shakes of a lamb’s tail. Oh, I know you’re probably going stir crazy in here, but do this my way. It’s gonna be best for all of us.

Now listen up. This is what I need you to do. I was alone when you got here. But before that, my son, Dimitri was here and we were having breakfast fussy eater that he is. He turned his nose up at the breakfast sausages. Ah, I see. He is lost then. Good to know. I’ll make sure to include it on the menu for your last meal.

Your last meal is a bachelor before your wedding day sausages. Better write that down so I don’t forget.

Ah,

quite the shopping list, Ralph. That was the last time I performed work like this was under trying circumstances to say the least. Lots of proper tools. This time, instead of having to resort to a collection of kitchen implements and pub paraphernalia, not too much to ask in exchange for my talents, I suppose not.

Plutonium. If you want my work to stick this time, I need everything on that list. Everything okay? Okay. Relax. You’ll get it. Excellent. That is the subject. Now, we’ll make him available to you very soon. Is it really today to reconsider Megan’s fate? I mean, honestly. I mean, it doesn’t make any sense to disappear her into parts unknown if she’s just gonna escape and make her way back here.

Okay. Okay. Take my word for it. Once she’s gone, she’s not coming back. Is that arrogance or confidence? Michael’s experience.

What is it? It’s Megan, she’s leaving the house as we speak. I better go. Good luck. Luck will have nothing to do with this.

I guess Megan already left. I was gonna ask her if she thought there was a small chance Christian could make an appearance at our engagement party, but you’re right as you always are. I should just call her myself. All right. I’m gonna give her a ring and uh, let you know what she says. Love you.

Why the hell would Kristen go to New York without her phone

friend Michaels. You following me?

We have unfinished business. Megan,

your moments are numbered. Megan Deir, you Smart, evil witch. First sign of insanity. Hey, Jayda, talking to yourself. I’m in. Uhha. Right. Although I’m not sure that you heard what I was saying. Oh, I, I didn’t actually. Right, right. I was just bemoaning the fact that my son Rex really gets in touch with me. You know, the doctor.

Right, right. Mm. So, um, is that rave that I saw leaving before? It was actually. Mm-hmm. So did you take my advice?

Alright, let’s start from the beginning. Tell us everything you saw.

Hey, Brandon. No, no, there still no news about that. But I was at the station a couple of minutes ago when Eli and Raf got a call. Yeah, leave. I think, well, they rushed out to check it out without telling me much about it, but, um, hopefully we’ll finally get some answers.

You are gone for a long time, Pauline. I’m sorry Hun, but I wanted to wait for your test results and, and. You passed with flying colors. Good news. Oh, I was walking way over there when I saw someone by the edge of the docks and he looked, uh, totally out of it. What do you mean out of it? Uh, wobbly, like unsteady.

And then the next thing I know, uh, he just stumbles and hits his head on one of the pylons. And, and then splash right into the drink. And then I, I ran over here, but he must have sunk like a stone because I, I can’t swim otherwise I would’ve jumped in after him. Mm-hmm. And no one else was around. Uh, I called for help, but no one came.

All right. You stay here. We’re gonna check this out. Hey Ray, look at this. Yeah. It’s blood. It’s fresh.

Oh God, what’s this?

What is it?

Days of Our Lives Transcript

 

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 Well, thank you for agreeing to see us this morning. I know how busy you are. I am. So let’s keep this short. Okay, short. It is, uh, as we’ve discussed, my client has agreed to testify against Colin Bedford in exchange for some certain considerations. Actually, I’ve changed my mind about that. Excuse me. Yeah.

I think it sets a terrible precedent for a truly dangerous criminal to be given a walk in exchange for pointing the finger at our co-conspirator. Okay, well, it’s not your job to decide whether she’s dangerous or a criminal. It’s the court’s job. And in court I will present an open and closed case that will put Ms.

Hunter away for a long, long time.

I hope that if we went over everything again, maybe. So maybe we’d find something that we’d missed and all we missed was a night’s sleep. Yeah, thanks. Now they said the academy, that missing person cases go dry after three days. It’s been missing now almost three weeks. Rafe, we’ll find him. Yeah,

that that’s great. I will. Thank you so much. That was the Salem Health Department. They’re letting me reopen sweet bits. That’s wonderful, baby. Oh mama. I’m sorry. It wasn’t news about Abe. I keep saying to myself any day now, his memory will come back. The doctor said it could, and my, my phone will ring and it will be him.

I’ll go wherever he is and bring him home.

Time for breakfast time. Breakfast from my baby. Here we go. Here we go. Bon Appit boat meal again. Well, it’s, it’s heart healthy, and I want you to live a long life. Well, facing this every morning is going to seem like a long life. You know, when we renewed our vows yesterday, I promised to love you through sickness and health, and I’m gonna do my best to make sure that it’s mainly in health.

Wasn’t it nice to say those words again? Yesterday? Would’ve been nicer if we’d had our family there. Oh wow. That means you’re gonna really like the surprise that I have for you. Bacon. Oh, it’s better than bacon. Your son is back in Salem,

Theo. Oh my God. It is so good to see you again. Hi Kate. Oh, honey, I wish it was under circumstances. Me too. Listen, I uh, I heard your speech at Juneteenth. No, no, my, that was my dad’s speech. No, honey, you made that speech your own. He would be so proud of you. Do you think he’s gonna be okay? Of course I do.

You know how strong he is? Right now I know that he is working on getting back to you. I wish that I could be so short.

Theo thought you told me he lived overseas. He did, but he came back home because of your situation. So I’m going to see him. That’s right. You know, I’m thinking if I can see my son, my own flesh and blood, then I can remember him and then I can remember everything.

Like Sam through the hour. So are the days of lives.

You know, your dad and I had known each other for a long time, but I think I really got to know him. When thanks to me, you were in the hospital fighting for your life. No, I think that was, thanks to me being shot. Yeah. But that was my fault, you know? No, he never left your bedside ever, except of course when the doctors would, would make him leave your room.

I watched him go through parent hell, and he never wavered. I think, I think it was his love for you that we’ll do to come back and I, I really believe that that same love is gonna wheel him back to you. I hope you’re right.

I’m sorry, I, I have to go. Someone needs me right now. Okay. Phil, what is it?

Now, Abe, listen to me. I I don’t want you to get your hopes up. You know, you may not remember him right away, and that’s okay. I keep telling you these kinds of cases. Sometimes they just take time. Wait a minute, why isn’t he here? I mean, if he came here to see me, why? Why didn’t he come straight here? Well, because seeing him right away is gonna be stressful for both of you.

He wanted me to break it to you first, and so I did. And I just texted him and he’s on his way.

Eli. Whoa. What’s happening man? Wow. It’s good to see you. Hey, you doing hi? Looking good, man. Thanks. You too. Uh, hey, um, this is, uh, Jada. I don’t think you two, I’m sorry. Detective Hunter, this is, uh, Eli Grant. F b I used to work at Salem pd. Nice to meet you. Same here. Yeah. He’s also Abe’s, uh, son-in-law. Oh.

Figured. I’d come by and see if there’s any, anything I can do to help. Great. Well hopefully a fresh pair of eyes will help us find something that we missed. Yeah. This is everything we got. All right. You guys been pretty thorough? Oh yeah. Yeah. We spent the night going over everything, but, uh, nothing’s jumping out at us.

So, uh, let me walk you through So far. No, no, no. Jada, you go home. You’ve already been here all night. Well, so have you go home, get something to eat and get some rest. That’s an order. Has he always been this wishy That’s one of his best qualities. So, go on. I’ll let you know if something happens here.

Please do. Okay, Eli, it was great meeting you. Hopefully you can bring us some luck. Yeah, have a good one. See ya.

She’s great. She’s great. She’s been through a lobby. She never gives up. She’s not real. Ask that to the team.

What, what with the look? No, no. It’s. I’m, I’m happy for you. Oh, you’re, you’re okay. You’re happy for me? Yeah. She seems like you know. Good girl. Clearly there’s something going on between you two.

I know you’re not gonna deny it.

All I said was that Jada has an incredible work ethic and that she’s been a real asset to the team. And yeah, you know, it’s been intense between us because we have been working so closely together, especially on this case, and I have worked a lot of big cases and as intense as they’ve been. I don’t recall us ever holding Nance when I walked in.

Y’all were holding Nance.

Okay, fine. Mm, fine. All right. Jada and I are, we’re attracted to each other, but we also both know that nothing can come of it.

Jada. Hi. Oh my God, Kate. Oh my goodness. I am so glad to see you alive and back. Well, how do you think I feel, you know, this probably shouldn’t be the first thing I say to you, but you look like you’re feeling a little rough. Well, don’t sugarcoat it. Well, I’m just saying you dragged yourself in here. Did you have a night on the town?

Yeah, a night on the town at the station house going over Abe’s case. Oh yeah, I know. I’m so sorry. Of course. Of course. I’ll tell you. It’s just a nightmare, isn’t it? I’m just praying that he is somewhere alive and well. Yeah, we are all praying that. Ralph and I spent the night going over yet again.

Everything that we have, right. You know, um, I hope you’re a personal relationship isn’t going to be a distraction, you know, working on the case now, why would it be? Well, I mean, I have to admit that I do read Lady Whistle. Lowers column every once in a while. And, uh, recently she reported that you and Ray were seen being affectionate in the office.

So kissing you mean? Yeah. Well I wasn’t being so blunt. I mean, but it’s not like I had put stock in idle gossip anyway. Well, it’s, it’s not idle gossip. It’s, it’s the truth.

Big mama’s packing to go home. And of course she wouldn’t even hear of me trying to help. She’s pretty upset about going home before we found aid. What’d you say? Nothing important. Are you okay? Yeah, yeah. I, uh, was just about to post the job opening at Sweet Bits, and then I got caught in a bag. Kind of dejavu reminded you of Talia?

No, I didn’t need to be reminded. I ran into her yesterday. She’s out on bail. Did she threaten you? No, nothing like that. She was putting up posters asking if anyone had seen Abe, why would she be doing that? She was probably trying to help her case so that the DA will go easy on her. Wait, but you said that Talia, let me handle this.

My client and Colin Bedford are not co-conspirators. Yes, Talia committed some crimes at his instigation, which means that he is responsible for everything Talia did at his behest. But let’s not forget that on his own, he held a gun to Chanel Dupre’s, head to coerce Paulina Price to jump off a five story building.

Do you really think a guy like that should walk? Because without my client’s testimony, without your client’s testimony, I still have a rock solid case against Bedford. Ms. Hunter’s own sister, a Salem police officer is an eyewitness to what happened on that roof, and Paulina Price will testify to his attack against Mayor Carver, which will give me enough to lock your boyfriend up for a very long time.

He’s not my boyfriend. Not anymore. Well, that’s probably for the best I’ve heard. It’s hard to keep a relationship when each of you are serving long sentences in different correctional facilities. Oh, watch it more. I’ve got your confession to your own sister about you drugging those biscuits. And trashing Paulina Price’s office, which means I can use your own words to prove to the judge and jury that you are guilty as hell.

Okay? There is no need to pile on Melinda. Oh, am I supposed to be polite to her? I am a fit and healthy woman. And your drugs that you put in those biscuits sent me to the emergency room. Heaving my guts out all night long. It could have killed a child, a senior, anyone with a compromised immune system. Did you even think about that?

Did you? Okay. Did you think about the fact that she actually saved Chanel and Paulina’s life and nearly died in the process? You would’ve never been on that roof in the first place if it wasn’t for your client. Look, I don’t take my job lightly, and I’ve gone over and over the evidence. And there is nothing there that indicates any kind of leniency.

Okay, here’s something new.

I got Jack. There you go. Okay. I’m a little nervous. I, I just hope I, I, I hope I recognize him. If I don’t, I, I don’t know how that make him feel. Oh God. I told him about your condition. He’ll understand. You seem a little nervous. Maybe just a little. Are you and Theo getting along? Well, to be honest, we don’t really know each other that well.

I’ll get it.

Well, here he is, your son, Philo. Hello Pops.

I also think that Toya is working some angle trying to convince everyone that all the things she did were Colin’s fault. Is that what she said? No. No. She apologized and tried to take responsibility for what she did. So tell me this, are you thinking of forgiving her?

Oh, I’ll get it. Hmm.

Hey y’all. Oh, I’m so glad you’re here, honey. Hey, I came as soon as I got your text. What’s up? Oh, mama Price is uh, leaving for Florida this morning and she wouldn’t leave us saying goodbye to you. What she actually said was, I have to see that handsome face of his. One more time.

Is this my son? Yes it is. It’s uh, good to see you again, pops. Thank you for coming. No problem, sir. Uh, you really don’t remember me? I am, I’m sorry. I, I don’t, well just give it time. You two just need to get to know each other again. Theo, sit down.

Uh, yes. Would you, uh, like some coffee? Uh, no, I’m good. Oh.

Uh, uh, so, uh, how was your flight? Uh, it was good. Long. Yeah? Yeah. So, uh, where, where are you living now? Uh, south America, South Africa. I, uh, sorry, uh, a major jet lag. I had a layover in Brazil. I got mixed up. You, you had a stop over in Brazil on a flight from South Africa. That’s, uh, Boy, that’s way out of the way.

I, uh, got a deal. Cheap flights. Huh? Must have had it whole day. You know, you know what aid You are always so good at geography. You know me. I get lost on my way to the hospital sometimes. Oh, pops. Would you mind if I had a talk with Paulina out in the corridor? Why I, I don’t think that’s necessary. Paulina, right, please.

Yes. Excuse us. Let’s talk.

You didn’t tell me that The guy you were talking about was the mayor. What has she been with? Amnesia. He’s no fool. I mean, he’s not only good at geography, but he knows damn well there’s something going on. Because like an idiot. You said that you were from South America. I gave you Theo’s background. I didn’t have time to read all that stuff you sent and, and I, I didn’t expect to get grilled or, or that or that.

What? That he’s a good guy who needs help, needs his real family. I’m sorry, I can’t do this. You mean nothing can come of it? She’s single, right? She is. Okay. Well so are you. What’s the problem? Good jobs. Okay. Look, I know from experience that two cops getting together isn’t easy, but Lonnie and I proved that it’s possible.

You and Lonnie were partners. I’m Jade’s boss. Okay. And there are now new regulations in place. Fraternization with a subordinate is now grounds for dismissal. Yeah. Forgot about those new regulations. Mm-hmm. That sucks, man. Yeah. Uhhuh. And I know you’re looking at me right now and you’re thinking, oh man, this guy.

He’s got some real bad luck when it comes to women. Oh no. Yeah, I was not thinking that bad. You were. Cause I saw you. All right. You were and you’d be right. Yeah. Well, I am happy for race, happy for you. Well, there’s nothing to be happy about. I mean, the only reason he kissed me was because he was high on those tainted biscuits.

Well, whatever the reason, I don’t know. It seems like when you talk about him, there is a little something there. Okay. Maybe. Yeah. But I mean, we work together and, and plus the city council has all these guidelines. Oh, screw the guidelines. Are you kidding me? You know, I was just telling Eric and Sloan, life is short.

You know, we don’t wanna waste what little time we have. You’re just waiting. You’re just getting older, right? I mean, if you’re interested, you should go for it.

What is that? In a second? Talia, do you take responsibility for drugging those biscuits? Yes, I do. And do you also take responsibility for breaking into and vandalizing MS Price’s office? Yes, I do. You’re just making my case for me. Talia, are you also currently under the care of a psychiatrist? Yes. Um, Dr.

Melina Evans. This is a signed affidavit by Dr. Evans detailing the nature of the relationship between Talia and Colin, and I truly believe this changes everything.

The worst thing about being in a abusive relationship is the shame that we feel. I. A man treats us badly and somehow we still believe it’s our fault.

Years later, we think we’re past it and comes back like malaria. He not only makes us feel unworthy of his love, but of anyone else’s, you keep saying. We and us.

My ex-husband, Mr. Trask, he was a very, um,

shall we say, controlling man. I was so afraid of him. So cow. That I denied the existence of my own daughter. I kept, kept her a secret, um, from him, from the world.

Uh, sometimes I still wonder how I found the strength to break away from him.

I am so sorry. I I’m so sorry that you both have had to suffer like that.

So it’s, it’s clear though, Melinda, that you understand what Talia’s been through, and I, I know that that was really painful for you to share.

What do you think this means for her case?

You are back already. Your mom would not let me drive to the airport. So we got our taxi. And don’t worry, I slept a driver, a 21. Big mama wasn’t looking that way. He’d get more than Bible verses for a tip. Good for you. So Theo, you, you had breakfast, what would you like? No, nothing for me. Thanks. It was great to see your mom again, but I’m afraid I’ve gotta get going.

I’m gonna head down to the police station. I’ll find my dad.

So you really think I should go forward with Rae? Okay. Full disclosure, Ray and I have, uh, a little bit of history. We actually dated for a while. It was years ago. And, uh, even though I had issues with a lot of things that he did, I will say he’s one of that rare breed, a good man. But the work thing don’t, you can just make the work thing work out, you know?

I mean, I would suggest no more p d a in the office, but when you and Rave are in the privacy of your own home, Pass off the city council or anyone else’s business. Right.

Okay. Please. Those are all the witness statements. Like Jada said, maybe a fresh pair of eyes see something we missed. Speaking of eyes, you could barely keep yours open. Why don’t you take your own advice, go home, get something to eat, take a shower and get some rest. I’ll call you if I need anything. I’m actually too tired to argue with you.

That’s cuz you know I’m right. Mm-hmm. Right’s. Good to see you, bro. See you too. I’ll be back this afternoon. Don’t set an alarm. Mm.

You can’t back out on me now. You agreed to do this. Plus I paid you good money. This is a great challenge for an actor. I’m an actor, not a con man. I’m not asking you to con anybody. And wait a minute. Didn’t your grandmother get help when she was in the hospital? Here we go. Yeah, that’s right. Here we go.

Your grandmother had no health insurance, but thanks to me. She got the help that she needed. And what did it cost her? Nothing. Right? Nothing because I doctored her intake form so she could get the help she needed. So you owe me. Jerry, big time. You have been accepted into the family since you’re feeling so sorry for Pops.

I only wanted you to act like his son to help him with his recovery, but it’s not gonna help him. I mean, I can see that it, it’s only confusing him. Listen to me, Jerry. I’m a nurse and I’m his wife, and I know best. You can’t walk away from this besides what would happen to your career if this came out.

Okay, but what if I do? If he starts asking me about his life or fine, oh my God, you’re an actor. Just improvise. Improvise. Yeah. Right, right, right. Just make some stuff up, like talk to him. Your, your guys. Do guy talk sports or something? I don’t know.

Hello? This king? Yes, this is she. This is Agent Eli Gran the fbi. I’m investigating the disappearance of Abe Carver. I need you to come down to the police station right away. Oh, I, I can’t, my cat is sick and I can’t leave him. Okay, then I’ll, I’ll come to you. No, no, no, no. That’s not necessary. I’ll just have a neighbor come over.

Mm-hmm. I’ll see you soon.

Look, um, I, I need you to go in there and, and, and just be with him. I, I got some place I gotta go. Hey, look, you’ve spent an hour and I, I won’t take that long. Um, I’ll give you an extra hundred. Look, I, I, I, I need you to stay with him and I gotta go, alright? Okay. Okay. See and cash. Remember, I,

I’m back pops. What were you talking about out there? Where’s, where’s, where’s Paulina? What’s going on here?

Hey. Hey. Hello. Hey. Oh, how’s Shawn? Uh, he’s not doing great. He’s still reeling after everything that happened in Greece. Oh, well that’s understandable. Yeah. On top of that, he’s feeling pretty guilty about not being able to help find Abe. Oh, you know what? Tell him not to worry. Eli’s here. We got it covered, but, uh, is there anything I can do for you?

Uh, actually I’m here to see Jada. I have news about Talia’s case. I will file my recommendation with the court community service, and, uh, probation and continuing to see Dr. Evans.

Thank you so much. I never expected this to happen. If there’s anything I can do, You can keep going to therapy and work on your self-worth. Get to a place where you can feel that you deserve to be treated with kindness and respect so that what happened with you and Colin Bedford will not happen again.

So we were talking about Talia before Theo showed up. Are you thinking of forgiving her hearing Talia talk about Colin. It wasn’t just the things he said or did, it was more about the way he manipulated her. He played on her insecurities, took advantage of the way she felt about him to get her to do things that she didn’t really wanna do.

Emotional abuse, like what Ray did to me, Colin’s father did to me. Yeah, all too similar. So you think Charlie was a victim in all this? She loved Colin and she was afraid that she’d lose him if she didn’t do what he. Told her to do. And as, as much as I hate what she put you through, put us all through, she’s in pain, real pain, and it’s going to take her a long time to get over it.

What, you didn’t answer me, what did you have to talk to her about? Uh, okay. Okay. Uh, Paulina got a call. She, uh, had to run an errand. You still didn’t answer my question. What did you and Paulina have to talk about alone? Um, uh, you want the truth? Um, I asked her if my showing up here. Upset. You see? I mean, I mean, yeah.

It, it, it’s, it’s weird. I don’t know how to talk to you when you don’t, when when? I don’t remember you. Yeah. I’m sorry. It, it is weird. I’m sorry. Hey, it’s, it’s not your fault, so I guess we just gotta try to get to know each other again. It’s okay if I sit. Yeah, of course. Of course. Please do.

So, uh, how about those white socks?

Oh, excuse me, aren’t you Abe Carver son? Theo? Yeah, I am. Do I know you? No, no. I, I was one of your father’s nurses. I, I was there, uh, the day your stepmother was trying to jog his memory. Oh, he’s such a wonderful man. What a terrible thing to happen to him. Yeah, I was. Yeah. So why are you here? Oh, uh, uh, I received a call, uh, from the fbi, uh, agent grant to come down.

Yeah. Um, I’m actually here to see him too. Really? Oh, but you weren’t even here when your father went missing? No, not as a witness. Eli is my sister’s husband and my dad’s son-in-law, my friend. I’m here to help him and we’re not gonna stop until we find my dad.

You seem a little nervous. Yeah. You know, I just don’t know why they called me down here. I mean, I told the police everything I know. So. Ms. King? Yes, that’s right. Yoo. I need to speak to Ms. King. Yeah, that’s okay. I’ll wait this way. Nice to be.

Thank you Ms. King for coming in. You gotta have a seat right here. Okay.

Thank you. You’re welcome. I’ll be with you in just a second.

You know, as, as I was telling, uh, Abe carver’s son outside, I’ve, I’ve already told the police everything.

Now you can tell me everything, you know. I was going over your statement about the day Abe Carver went missing. You were on duty, right? Well, uh, yes. Yes, I was. Uh, but as I told the police, I, I didn’t see anything. Well, you, you couldn’t have, did you, excuse me, because you left work early hours before the end of your shift, and I’d like to know why

you, okay.

Just a little bit overwhelmed. I still can’t believe I’m not going to prison. Seriously. Thank you so much Ms. Brady. No. Well, not always, but sometimes the prosecution and the defense work together to get it right. Um, I just went to the station to tell your sister the good news, but she’d already gone home.

Well, should I call her? I, I think Rafe was going over there to tell her

No, it’s not for you to decide what’s important and what’s not, which is why you’re gonna tell me everything that happened on that day. And this time you’re not gonna leave anything out.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Look, we bested Maggie in a business deal and now she’s pissed off. Why should we care? Because we care about Maggie. She’s not just a competition. No, and I understand that, but I mean, it’s not like Maggie getting even is like Uncle Vic getting even. I mean really Brady, what the hell is she gonna do? Like cut off our lemon bars?

It’s all right. You’re gonna laugh this one off. Really? Look, we made a better deal for Kassoff than Titan did, and now Maggie is gonna have to learn to live with that.

So you’re offering me a job at Titan to be my second in command. Alex’s old job. That’s right. I’d like you to start right away. What would Victor think about having a demara on the inside track at his company? A Damara was Once Titan’s, c e o Victor hired you himself, he also fired me,

but not for incompetence. Chad, you are a brilliant businessman. I know that you will be an enormous asset to Titan. Besides, I am in charge now, so Victor will defer this matter to me. And as far as this cu to me feud if Brady and Alex can work for your family’s company. Why can’t you work for mine?

Hey. Oh, sorry. You’re doing your yoga. No, no, no. I can wait. Please come in.

Something’s wrong. Your checkup today. Is it the baby? No, no, no. Everything is fine. It’s just I got home and I got this voicemail. Sarah. Hey, uh, it’s body carus. The reason I’m calling you is that we need to talk. Look, uh, the thing is, as hard as I’m trying, I. I don’t know if I can keep your secret.

I’m screwed. No, no, no, no. I’m so sorry. No, hold on. Just, just calm down. Look, um, it doesn’t sound like Bonnie told Sandra or anything. Yeah. Right. So maybe call her back and, and talk her down. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, that’s, That’s a good idea. I’m gonna, I’m gonna, I’m gonna do that.

Hello? Sarah. Sarah, you sound awful. I know. It’s just No, but just a bad cold, I guess. You got my message? Yeah. I could. Please tell me that you didn’t tell Xander about the baby. No, I didn’t. I s I swear. Okay. That’s great. Thank God. But I did tell one person. You did. Who? Who did you tell Bonnie? It was just Justin.

Okay. You can spare a couple of minutes. Go on, pull her, pull up her chair and tells everything that’s going on with you. No, there’s really nothing new to report. Yeah. Uh, nothing really. I got nothing. Not one thing. Yeah. Are you, uh, sure about that? Why wouldn’t I be sure? I don’t know. You just seem like you’re acting a little bit nervous.

It’s not like you.

Okay. Look, there is something and you have every right to know what it is.

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

You told Xander’s cousin that I’m having Xander’s baby. Oh man, he’s my husband. What was I supposed to do? You promised that you wouldn’t tell anyone. Bonnie, will you just listen? I gave Justin a dollar as a retainer before I opened my mouth. Right? So if he Blas, he’s gonna violate that attorney client thingy.

All right? And Justin would never do that.

You need an antihistamine for that cold? No, I’m fine. Justin, skinny me some chicken doodle soup. Listen, everything is gonna be okay. All right. Zander is very busy right now, and it’s not like Justin is gonna be seeing him. All right. Justin’s not gonna say anything. They’re not gonna be hanging out. Zander is busy.

Like I said, he is very, very busy. What do you mean? Very busy? Like, like with work? Well, he’s very busy with, with his new girlfriend. Look, you might as well know he’s Porking Chloe Lane.

Well, don’t leave us hanging. Justin, what’s the big news? This may come as a surprise. This is not my secret to tell, and I only know that Sarah’s pregnant because I ran into her in Chicago and she made me swear. Swear not to tell anyone, please. Justin, are you gonna tell Sandra,

I know you gave Sarah your word, but I didn’t. But you’re my wife and I love you so. I will not tell Zach. What is it? What is it that I have a right to know that Alex has gone to work for Basic Black. Ah, wait, that’s your big news. Oh, so Brady gave Alex my old job. You know, he practically begged Chloe to go back and work for him, but she told him that she’d rather to keep working for me at the Spectator.

Meant the world to me. So you are living together and working together? Yeah, that’s right. And that’s the way we like, you know, Maggie tried to get me to go back and work at Titan and I said, no dies. Well, no, I’m curious. I wonder if she’s gonna get to take Alex’s place.

I’m flattered, uh, about the offer, Maggie, but I already have a job at S J P R working for me. Chad is my most valuable employee, and Titan is one of s j’s most lucrative clients. So you do would still be working together? One of Chad’s responsibilities would be acting as liaison to S J P R like Alex did when he had the job.

And uh, as far as the Commute, Titan’s headquarters is right down the street. Right. Um, I actually just, uh, told Doug and Julie that the kids and I are gonna be moving out. Really? Oh, well, where are you moving? Well, we don’t know yet. We, yeah, we, Chad and I are moving in together. Hmm.

I would not underestimate Maggie if I were you. Alex, she’s been my sponsor for years, and I’ll tell you what, she is as tough as she has to be. Well, she’s definitely no pushover, but she sure as hell has no idea how to run a business. Oh, hey Alex. I, uh, I’m glad you’re here. I actually have your employment contract here saved me from sending you a pdf.

If you could just, uh, read it, sign it, send it back to me, that’d be great. I will do that right now. Okay. And I have another matter to discuss with you. Uh, uh uh, this looks good to me. Uh, that was pretty. There you go. Pretty set pretty fast. Did you read all of the fine print? Yeah. I’m a speed reader, not to mention I trust you guys.

Got leaving Titan behind me, going to work for my cousin who would never screw me over. It’s the smartest move I’ve made in a long time. Where you going? Well, it seems like you two needed to talk.

There you go. So what is this other matter? Is it a tamira business? Uh, one Damira in particular, Kristen.

Well, congratulations on taking that big step. I hope you find the perfect place to start your life together. Thank you Maggie. It’s gonna be so wonderful for Thomas and Charlotte. I know they’re quite crazy about you, Stephanie. Ah, I think it was both ways. I love them very much and they’re very lucky to have a wonderful father and now to have a wonderful you and their lives.

I’m the lucky one. Well, look, I really should get going. Um, just one thing, Stephanie, I hope you will support Chad if he decides to accept my offer. Yes, I will. Yeah. I can’t say I’m not interested. I, I, I just need some time to think about it. I understand. But don’t take too long. Uh, I am, I am just ready to go with my plans for Titan and fill in that position is crucial.

Care to tell me what your plans are. Okay. Um, EJ and the others, they’re so sure. I don’t know what I’m doing. I. So I am gonna take advantage of that. So Demer Enterprises is gonna get a run for its money. Congratulations you two again, and I look forward to hearing from you.

Whoa. I, uh, I haven’t seen that side of Maggie before. Yeah, me neither. What are you thinking? I, I don’t know. I mean, her offering me the number two PO position. I mean, I didn’t see that coming. I assume that this is about, My daughter. Yes it is. So you had asked me to make sure that the family court ruling giving you custody of Rachel was ironclad.

Yes. So I went over the ruling in detail and there is absolutely no wiggle room for Kristen. You are legally the sole custodial parent. But let me guess. Kristen wants to dispute the ruling. Oh, had to guess. Oh, just had a no-brainer there. Have you heard from her legal team at all? I have not, which I think is really strange.

And I’m guessing you haven’t either. Nobel not a word. Well, that begs the question then. Where is Kristen Demira and what the hell is she up to?

Xander and Chloe. How can that be? She hates him. Not anymore. She’s living with the dude.

Wow. Okay. Um, I guess he really has moved on only because he doesn’t think he has a snowballs chance in hell in getting back with you. Now, if he knew you were carrying his child, I bet he’d dropped Chloe Lane like a hot rock. So maybe you should reconsider and tell him about the baby.

I have no idea who Maggie will hire to replace. I’m not art of her inner circle. All right, well, I’m pretty sure that inner circle is just big enough for two, her and Uncle Victor. Hmm, probably. Well, if you excuse me, I have a sick wife who’s at home and she’s in desperate need some chicken soup. I’m concerned that Bonnie might be suffering from a little bit more than a head cold.

Wow. Why do you say that? It’s just that the last time I saw him, she’s acting, seem really nervous. I, I dunno it as if she knew something that she didn’t want me to find out.

You’ve been kind of quiet since Maggie blew outta here. What can I say? She’s a tough act to follow. Well, I’d like to know, uh, I’d like to know how you feel about the job offer. Well, I think you have to consider taking it. I mean, it’s a, it’s a very important position, but,

well, he’d be taking Alex’s job, a job that he loved.

Hey, what up, sunny Boy? How’s the hubby and my niece? Good, good. Now the new gig is going great. I actually just signed a contract today. No, I don’t have any problem working for the Demaris. And hey, I tried to stay a Titan, but Uncle Vick’s power mad wife had other ideas. I, I know Maggie tried to get me my job back, but I also know that it would just be a matter of time before she had some other reason to fire me again.

And who the hell needs that?

Okay. Just know that Maggie and I have parted company and I couldn’t be happier.

Well, you’re right. Radio silence has never been Kristen’s style. Mm-hmm. Look at how she reacted when I tried giving her limited visitation rights to sued for full custody. I think she’s just trying to make a sweat. I don’t know. You know her better than I do. Well, I, I mean, she’s capable of anything. She could be doing anything.

I, but at least she’s not gonna go after Chloe this time. How do you know that? You just said she’s capable of anything. No. Be the only reason Chloe was a target before was because Kristen thought Chloe would end up raising Rachel. All right. And that’s, that’s obviously off the table now. Why are you. You haven’t heard, Chloe is living with Xander now.

What is she out of her mind? I don’t know what Bonnie could possibly be hiding from you, Xander. I really don’t. I’m sure she was just. Being Bonnie, you know her now. If you excuse me, I really need to place my order. Sure. Its great seeing you, Justin. Take care. Good seeing you. You too. I seeing you too.

Is it just me or does it see my Justin knows whatever it is that Bonnie knows. I don’t know, but he does seem uncomfortable. But baby, he’s just anxious to get home to his sick wife. No. All right. Yeah, maybe that’s it. So Sarah, what do you say? Would it be so bad to tell Xander he’s gonna be a daddy? I don’t want him back in my life bar.

So you and Justin are just gonna have to keep it to yourself. So you hear me? Yeah. Yeah, I hear you. Our lips are sealed, so, oh, listen, I gotta get off the phone. I’m gonna have another coughing fit. Goodbye. And good luck to you. Bye Bonnie.

So Bonnie told Justin everything I. Pretty much. And Xander is dating Chloe now.

You okay? Yeah. Why wouldn’t I be? I mean, Zander and I are divorced and that’s her what I said to Bonnie. I want that creep outta my life. So, He can date whoever he wants. Dear it,

so can I.

I can’t believe Chloe is seeing Xander Cook. You’re not joking with me. No. No. You think I would joke about something like that? I mean, she just hasn’t said anything to me about this. Yeah, cuz she knew that you would go through the roof when you heard that. Yeah. Damn. Straight. I would. Xander shot mom and you and he made Sarah and Eric believe that Rachel was there, baby.

And that your baby with Kristen had died. Yes. And then he went, all I know understand blew up Eric and Nicole’s wedding. I know Bell. I didn’t he leave Chloe and Mexico with some drug lawyer Bell? He did. He did all that stuff and I’m aware of it. I mean, wow. Kristen just must have pushed Chloe way too far.

Yeah. Chloe must just see something in Xander that. We don’t.

Thank you. Well, I could certainly use another weed drown. How about you? Ah, yeah. A glass of wine sounds really nice. Wine, eh? That sounds even better. Well, you just relax and I’ll turn bar. How about that? Yeah, thank you. I just hand you this. Oh, thanks. You know, I still can’t go over how sketchy Justin was acting tonight.

Yeah, I know you didn’t stop talking about it the entire way home. Sorry. Should I take that to mean that you are sick of me banging on about my family and they’re strange behaviors? No, I like you talking about your family. It lets me get to know the real you and that’s something you want to know the real me?

Yeah, it is.

Can I ask you a question? Are you sure that you want sleep alone tonight?

No. Oh, Sarah, no. No, no, no. Wait, what’s the problem? It’s not like this hasn’t happened before. I know, but. This is different.

It’s me. Okay. Wow. You’re afraid to see me without any clothes on. What? Are you kidding me? Hey, you were the most beautiful pregnant lady that ever was. Well then, what’s the problem? I saw your face when you found out about Xander and Chloe. I don’t care about that. I was, I was just surprised. I thought that Chloe had better taste as all that.

Hey, come on, it’s me. You were nuts about the guy. And look, I haven’t exactly made it a secret that I want another chance with you. Why are you pushing me away? I want a real chance, not some. Rebound sex, and that’s what that would be.

You know that don’t you?

Looks like I got here just in time. Oh honey. You go and you brought me my chicken noodle, so of course guaranteed to make you feel better. Here you go. Thank you, honey. Oh, this is gonna fix me right up. I can tell. Mm. I ran into Chloe and Xander at the pub. Oh, please. Oh, please tell me you didn’t spill it about Sarah and the baby.

Only because I gave you my word. Oh, thank God. I just got off the phone with Sarah and she’s so mad at me for telling you. She made me swear that we would not tell Xander about the baby. Like I said, I do not feel good about this. Xander is far from a perfect human being, but he did love Sarah. Oh my God, it’s his baby that she’s carrying.

Believe me, I hear you. And I tried. I tried to convince Sarah to come clean with him. I tried a lot, but she won’t budge you and I have no choice but to do as she says. Oh, I wish I didn’t know about this. I know what you mean. I just hope Sarah’s secret doesn’t blow up in our faces.

You were in the kitchen for quite a while. Yeah, I was, uh, I was loading the dishwasher.

I know you’re upset with me.

Um, I just, uh, I just don’t understand why Alex’s, uh, feelings should factor into whether or not I take the job. It’s just. He tried really hard to make it work with Maggie, and she fired him without even giving him a chance. And, but how was that my problem? Or yours? I mean, he, he’s a, he’s a big boy. He can handle himself.

Uh, you, you don’t always have to worry about him. I don’t always worry about him. Okay. I just meant that, you know, he landed on his feet. He got a good job at Basic Black. I don’t understand what the problem is. I hate the optics. Chad, first you take Alex’s girl. Next you might end up with his job. No, no, no.

I didn’t. I didn’t. I didn’t take his girl. You’re your own woman, and unless I’m mistaken, you made your own decision about who you wanted to be with. True.

It’s just I’m, I don’t know. I still feel weird about this offer, and it’s not only because of Alex. Okay, then what else? It’s Maggie. It’s like she’s completely changed since Victor made her the c e o. How so? She fired Alex because he lost that Kassoff deal, but it wasn’t his fault. Kassoff had second thoughts.

It happens. Who’s to say that she won’t do the same thing to you?

I would hate to see her kick you out on that fine ass of yours.

Well then I guess, uh, I guess it’s fine. I asked is just gonna have to be better at staying on her good side than he was. Right. Well, I don’t have to make a decision right now. It’s not what Maggie said. Well, Maggie, uh, Maggie’s gonna have to wait. That’s all. And, and honestly, right now, I’d rather. I’d rather not be, uh, talking about Maggie or, um, or work at all for that matter.

I’d rather be looking at possible dream houses for you, me and the kids, he’s okay. Yeah, yeah. Well, sounds good and lucky for real good PR lady never leaves her house with our laptop.

Oh, hello, Alex. Hi, Maggie. I thought you should know that I found someone to take your spot at Titan. Mm, really? Really? I didn’t want you to read about it in a spectator. How decent of decent w. You know what, Alex, you’d get along a whole lot better in this world if you didn’t have that chip on your shoulder.

No, you fired me. All right, so I don’t need all the self-help bull. Mm mm Nope. Nope. Not doing that. Aren’t you gonna ask me who I found? Well, congratulations on finding your ideal number two. Hopefully now we can both move on with our lives. It’s Chad.

Good for him. I thought he was working for Stephanie. Oh, he is. He is. But uh, he’s gonna take some time to think about my offer, but I think he’ll accept it. He and Stephanie will see enough of each other now that they have decided to move in together. I’ll see you back at the house,

not if I don’t see you first.

Wow. Xander and Chloe are living together. I just, oh, I’m so sorry, Brady. I know how much you love Chloe.

Yeah, well there’s not much I can do about it, so it’s pretty much over. I don’t wanna dwell on it. Okay. Okay, I get that. I understand. Dwell on you. Let’s dwell on you, sis. Tell me how you’re doing not great. Sean. Is he still drinking? Well, yeah, I mean, he’s either staring off into space or sleeping one off.

I can’t tell he he needs help. Yeah, I know, but he doesn’t see it that way. Especially after Victor laid into him. Yeah. I love my granddad, but I’ll tell you what he can, he can really make a bad situation worse sometimes. Mm-hmm. Do you want me to talk to Sean? You know, I’ve been where he is. I know. Thank you for offering and I might take you up on that.

Okay. Not now though. Well, right now I’m trying to get him to make an appointment with mom. He just says he’s not ready. You know, he’s just swimming in guilt and, and he jinks his dad’s in a coma because of him. But the fact that he was saving his mother’s life when he shot Bo, that doesn’t even register.

Yeah. I’m so sorry about that. Ugh. All right, I gotta go. Okay. Um, let me know if you hear consistent. I will. And, um, listen, Brady, what I know. That you think things are over between you and Chloe. All right. But I really think that you should try and hang on. She is gonna see Xander for who he really is, cuz everybody does.

Okay. Bye. Okay, thank you.

Came on too strong, didn’t I? No, I, I just. I thought I was ready to move on with my life, but I don’t think that’s possible. Not quite yet anyway. Right. You have a new place, new job, but you’re still not over. Brady.

Trust me. I want to be over him, but I’m just not yet. And. Sandra, I don’t, I don’t wanna lead you on. No, I understand. I mean, if I’m being dead honest with myself, I am still missing Sarah. Aren’t we a fine, fair?

So what do we do in the meantime? Keep getting to know each other. Take our time. I like the sound of that. Maybe there’s something on telly. Ah, okay. Just no love stories. No, definitely not. How about an action adventure with a creepy villain who gets what’s coming to him in the end? That kinda hits a little close to home for me, so, okay.

Fair enough. Um, the Marx Brothers, perfect.

You are right. I was using you to forget my problems and I am. I am so sorry cuz that’s the last thing I wanna do. Can I point out though that most guys, including me, wouldn’t mind being used in that particular way, but with you, I, I want it to mean something. It’s okay.

Do you know how much I wish I was over Xander? You know how much I wish that too.

I hate that what he does with his life still gets to me. I know. But look, all you know is that Xander and Chloe are just living together. Doesn’t mean they’re sleeping with one another. And who cares what Bonnie thinks? I mean, her word is not exactly gospel. Sandra isn’t the kind of guy that lives with somebody that he isn’t sleeping with.

He.

All right, I’m gonna go because we are both on duty early tomorrow.

Good night. Good night. Hey, um, the second you get over Xander, you know where to find me.

Here, lemme get you some more. Mm-hmm. I felt better already.

And notice tonight that Xander and Chloe seemed happy together. Yeah. Huh. Maybe she’ll be a good influence on him. Like you were for me. I wonder if Brady knows about them. Poor guy.

Words.

You wishing you.

Chloe, have I told you recently how much I adore?

See your lascivious. That’s even better than

and also,

Words can’t describe this

feeling inside. Every time

you.

I,

I.

One day,

one moment will change my life.

I.

See how things.

Open your eyes.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Hi. Hi. How’s uh, how’s Doug feeling? Well, I’m getting him some chicken soup. And he insisted it was fine for him to come downstairs and eat the soup in front of the big tv and I insisted, no, he’s still recovering from the flu and he should stay put and have the soup upstairs in bed. Uhhuh, I can guess who won that argument.

It wasn’t easy. Oh, thank you so much for spending time with him earlier. There’s nothing he loves more than a good game of gin rummy. Yeah, we, I mean, like I told him, there’s, there’s nobody I would rather spend time with. No, I’m grateful he took his mind off Abraham for a little while. Oh. And he lifted my spirits as he always does.

I’m so glad. So, um, what are your plans this evening, darling? I noticed you set out the good silver and the good napkins. Well, um, if it’s, uh, if it’s okay, I was, uh, hoping to have Stephanie over for dinner. There’s our baby girl. Hi. The, uh, the Juneteenth celebration was just incredible food, music. Oh. If only the hospital hadn’t had that emergency, I would’ve loved to have gone.

You were missed both of you. Yeah. Well, John and I didn’t wanna let up on the search for Abe. Abe was supposed to give the keynote speech and Theo stepped in for him. He did such a great job. I bet he did. This whole thing is so horrible. I mean, who on earth would wanna kidnap Abe baby? That’s what we’re all trying to figure out.

What is it? Who, what is it? Um, it’s Alex. Oh, is everything okay? Yeah. Fine. He just, um, was sharing some good news. Yes. We just did that. We just did that and I just sent the signed contract off to legal. Which means we are officially in business Basic Black with Yuri Casas. No. Good job man. Good job. Hey, it’s all you man.

Drinks on me. Ah, drinks yeah, drinks on me. No bueno, Alex. Ah, right. Yeah, I’m sorry about that. That’s my bad. Well, how about we, um, I don’t know, split a play of nachos wings. Hey, whatever the hell you want. I just know I’m in way too good of a mood to go home right now, and it’s not like anybody’s waiting on us.

Right. Yeah, definitely not. Oh, I’m so tired. Oh, yesterday I had that great ad buy from Saxtons and then today at least a dozen of our vendors are asking us to cut their rate by 20%. Well don’t worry, I managed to hold them off at least until our numbers for next quarter come hopefully Gwen’s exclusive with dirt bag on Lo snow Drive our numbers up.

Ah, I hope so. Me too. I mean, I just had to. Promise our two top reporters are raised so they wouldn’t jump ship. I bet you’re regretting not taking that job at Titan. Rightly, and even the worst day of the Spectator is still a day I get to spend with you. Yeah, and there it is. The patented Sander Cook charm, which has convinced me to ignore all the reasons why pursuing a relationship with you is a horrible idea.

And yet here I am. What can I say? It’s a blessing and a curse. Okay, back to work for one second. Are you sure that Maggie’s not truly upset that you turned her down? I mean, yeah, she was disappointed, obviously, but she knows I have to fall in my heart. Are you sure about that? About Maggie? Yeah, I know. It’s just when I went over there to talk to her, I had the strangest encounter with Bonnie.

Oh,

I thought you could use a fresh supply. Thank you, honey. Go. That is some cold you have. It seemed to have come outta nowhere. No, I told you it’s God’s way of punishing me for lying. No, no. That’s not how it works. And you know that besides, all you did was pretend you were sick. That’s not all I did. I told like a zillion lies.

God, Justin. It just kept on yapping and yapping and digging myself in deeper. I really didn’t mean to. I mean, it just sand her short off and I panicked. You’re caught off guard. You weren’t expecting to see him. No. Please don’t use that word expecting it. Just reminds me of the secret Sarah’s wanting me to keep, but honey, it just makes me panicky.

Okay, sweetheart. Xander’s not here. Yeah, but he could come back and I could mess up everything. I could crack under this pressure and tell him Sarah’s pregnant with his kid.

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

Is it okay for you to invite Stephanie here to dinner? More than Okay. You know, I like her so much. Oh, well, you know, she feels the, the same way about you, you know, you and Doug. It, um, our talk yesterday in the cemetery, it, it really did help. You’re right. Guilt is corrosive. And, and Abby wouldn’t want me to shut myself off to the world.

She would, she would want me to live my life. Yeah. She would darling. And

thank you. Just you, you know, for your wisdom and for everything you’ve done for, for me and the kids and helping out. And I, I just, I, I, I really don’t know what I would do without you guys. Well, Doug and I feel the same way about you having, having you here with your children. It’s a comfort. It’s been wonderful.

We love you. We love you kids too.

Hello Doug. Let me in. Hi, is he in the Dan in front of the big tv. Yeah, I think so. Uhhuh, well, a few darlings will, excuse me. I will just get ahold of my naughty husband and put him back into bed. Enjoy your dinner. I hope I’m not too late. No, no, you’re right on time.

So neither of us are having much luck with the ladies at the moment, but at least things are going damn well between you and I. That’s a big comfort. I’m serious man. We may be family, but after all the fighting, Sonny and I did a Titan. There is no guarantee this was gonna work out. I know it’s still early and we just landed Yuri freaking Kana about the gate.

Are you kidding me? I think this is the beginning of a very long, successful partnership, Alex. It could be. Or in a couple months we end up trying to kill each other. Who knows? Dude, the pessimism. My God. You’re right. You’re, listen. I’m so, don’t take it personally. Okay. Just lay lately, being hopeful about anything hasn’t worked out for me.

I’m just constantly waiting for the other shoe to drop.

We need to talk now.

You had a strange encounter with Bonnie. Isn’t every encounter with that woman strange? Now this was stranger than usual. How so? Well, she was nervous, like super jumpy, scared. Really? When I walked in, she screamed at me to stay back and then ran behind the couch. Well, maybe she has a little bit of PTs. D From that time you held her prisoner in the garden.

She, yeah, I mean, obviously that’s what I thought too, but no, Bonnie assured me that she’s forgiven me for all that. Then why would she tell you to stay away? Well, her excuse was that she had some terrible cold and she didn’t want me to catch it.

So after you left to go meet with your client, I gave myself this pep talk, you know, I said, body girl, you got this. You just gotta steer clear as Xander. And I turned around. Boom. There he was. You must have been surprised. Surprised. No, I was terrified. God. It was like being in a horror film where you’re peeking around the corner looking for the killer and you turn around and he is been behind you the whole time.

God, I was so shocked to see Zander there. I, I just, I couldn’t think straight. I, I just, the more kept trying not to tell him what I knew. The more it got closer to blurting it out, it was like I was a pressure cooker ready to blow, you know? I’m just so glad I have a release valve. What’s that? Oh honey, you, if I wasn’t able to tell someone I’d be climbing the damn walls, I am just so grateful.

You don’t have a problem keeping Sarah Secret. You know, actually Bonnie, I do.

So Bonnie may have reacted a little over the top, but maybe she was trying to be considerate and try not to get you sick. Yeah. But that wasn’t really even the weird part. It wasn’t, no, no. As I was leaving, I found out that Nicole was pregnant. I got a news alert on my phone and when I read it, I went, oh wow, she’s pregnant.

And Bonnie replied with, she told you she’s pregnant. Why would Bonnie think that Nicole would tell you personally that she’s pregnant? Right? I mean, everyone knows Nicole and I aren’t exactly pal’s, honestly, I, I got the impression that Bonnie thought I was talking about someone else.

You have a problem keeping Sarah’s secret. Why didn’t you tell me this before? Well, you didn’t gimme a chance. You just handed me a dollar. So we’d have attorney client privilege. No, wait. Hang on, hang on. I filled you in and told you we had to keep this between us, and then Maggie interrupted us. But after she left, you didn’t say a word.

You kissed me and went off to your meeting. And in fact, we talked on the phone later and you seemed like everything was fine. I know, but I’ve had some time to think. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Justin, please, please. You gotta stick with me on this. Just like you stick with your clients, you keep their confidences, and I bet they have secrets way worse than this.

Well, that may be, but those secrets don’t involve my cousin. Are we feeling bad for Xander? Are we forgetting what he did to me? No, I’m still very upset with him, but that doesn’t mean that I’m okay with keeping life-changing information from him. Justin, I made a promise to Sarah. I know you did, but I didn’t and I just don’t feel comfortable knowing that Sarah’s pregnant with Sander’s baby and he doesn’t know

you ordered pizza. I did. Garlic and jalapeno from me. Mushroom for you, baby. I thought we were having leftovers. No, no, no. I decided we can’t have leftovers today because we’re celebrating. Celebrating what? Having the house.

Thanks for inviting me to dinner. What? You don’t have to thank me then allow me to express my gratitude on behalf of my parents between us. I think they’re very glad to have some alone time. What, no, you lived in Seattle for years. I’m sure they’re thrilled to have you at home. Oh, living in Salem is one thing that living under the same roof is something else.

Is there tension? No, not at all. But they’ve hardly had a chance to reconnect since we got back from Greece. You know, after all those months of thinking my mom was dead, the way they look at each other, I’m starting to feel like a third wheel. Wow. Yeah. Tmmi. Oh, no. Yeah, a little, sorry. I’m just, I’m starting to think that maybe it’s time for me to look for my own place.

You know what’s funny is I, I was thinking the exact same thing on Maggie. Hey, is everything okay? I don’t know. You tell me. Did you just make a deal with Yuri Koff? Yeah. Yeah, we did. We’re actually launching a brand new digital fashion line on his app. What about it? Well, up until a few weeks ago, he was ready to make a deal featuring exclusive Titan content.

On that very same app.

Well, you should know, Alex. You blew the whole thing. Did you do this on purpose? Excuse me? Well, I was in Greece with Victor and I let you take that meeting with Fury. Your one job was to get him to sign that contract. And somehow he didn’t. And ever since, I’ve been wondering how you managed to botch such a simple task, and now I know you did it on purpose.

What are you talking about, auntie? Why would I do that? You had Brady’s job offering your back pocket, so tanking that deal. What was your way of giving the middle finger to tighten on your way out the door? Maggie? Maggie, I, I did not. Bring Alex on until after you fired him. And besides that, is that really who you think I am?

That I am just some snake that would intentionally hurt my own family? Well, you had to know that working for the competition, basic black would hurt us. I needed a job. I offered to hire you back. You turned me down and you joined the competition. Why? Because you were angry at Victor. He passed you over.

You were resentful of me for being my number two. So your parting shot at us was intentionally screwing up that deal. Did it ever occur to you that maybe I’m not the reason why Yuri walked away. If I was auntie, why would he still wanna work with me? Hmm. I’ll tell you why. It’s because when he finally looked into Titan, he realized there was a dinosaur.

Now this guy’s moving at the speed of light. Meanwhile, you’re telling him to be patient and prudent. He doesn’t want any part of that. This guy wants to slay right now. Is that so? That is, damn. So. And he can’t slay Jack with a relic like Titan Auntie for the past. We are the future. So with that being said, the.

The question you should be asking is not whether or not I tanked the deal between Yuri and Titan more so how could you ever have thought that Yuri would actually wanna make a deal with a loser like Titan to begin with?

How dare you insult me like that. Uh, I was talking about Titan. Titan isn’t a loser. Our profits are up. Our shareholders couldn’t be happier. Hmm. Now, auntie, what is the average age of those shareholders? Oh, no, no, no, no. Don’t you go there. I’m just being honest with you. Yuri doesn’t wanna deal with gray suits and gray hair.

He wants energy. Oh yeah. Like all that energy you put into tagging the deal. Auntie Mag, you can blame me all you want for Yuri deciding not to work with Titan, but he did that all on his own. You are not the right person to bring his vision to life. And he told you that? Oh yes, that’s right. After that meeting where you sabotaged me.

Oh, yes, yes. Up until that point, he was thrilled to be signing with Titan because he didn’t do his homework. When he did, he realized that your company was all wrong for him, and that is the truth. That is a fact, and I’m sorry if you can’t accept that. What I can’t accept is you being an insufferable.

Disloyal swine who sold a company and a client from us, Maggie? I don’t think that’s what Alex was doing. You fired me. Maggie. Do you think that I have any type of obligation to your company? No. And what about your obligation to Victor? What do you think you’d think of what you did? I think he’d admire the initiative.

Oh, so now you are admitting that you did the tanking on purpose? I’m admitting that I saw an opportunity and I took it, and I think Uncle Vic of all people would never have a problem with that. And what about you, Brady? Do you have a problem with it? Did knowing that Yuri had a deal in the works with Titan?

Give you pause. Actually, this is the first time I’m hearing about this. That being said, Maggie? Um, I agree with Alex. I don’t think Victor would be upset with him or me.

He would be upset that you both have treated me so disrespectfully. No, no, no, no, no, no. Victor would be the first one to say business is business. Maggie. We are rivals in business. Yeah. And maybe if you two aren’t always so busy firing us, Karakas, we wouldn’t work for the competition.

Who did Bonnie think was pregnant? Well, she claimed that she was talking about Nicole too, and then she had a massive coughing fit and the conversation was basically over until I mentioned you. What about me? Well, I said that we were involved and she got super interested, started asking all these questions and basically freaked out.

What do you mean? Well, she demanded that I end things and you know, said I was making a huge mistake. Oh God. That goes all the way back to high school. In high school. Yeah. In high school. I had this rivalry with her daughter Mimi, which I’m the one who should be holding a grudge about, by the way. But, um, because of her daughter, Bonnie’s never been a great fan of mine.

Yeah. But her reaction was really extreme, even taking that into account. Yeah. But she’s silly. She probably thought she was protecting you or something. Trust me, this has everything to do with Mimi. I don’t know. I think maybe it has more to do with Sarah.

Justin. I know Xander is your cousin, but come on. Not just that, it’s that I was in the very same position that Xander’s in now, and Angelica, when she was pregnant with Alex, she kept that from me and that was wrong. Look, I’m sorry she did that to you, but Angelica was creating nutcase. Sarah’s not Justin.

She has legit reasons for not wanting XR to know. I understand that. But secrets have a way of coming out, especially ones about babies and Sarah of all people should be sensitive to that. I hear you. Believe me. I hear you. But at the end of the day, Justin, this is not my secret to tell. And I only know that Sarah’s pregnant because I ran into her in Chicago and she made me swear.

Swear not to tell anyone, please, Justin. Are you gonna tell Sandra,

I know you gave Sarah your word, but I didn’t. Oh, you’re my wife and I love you, so I will not tell, but I don’t feel good about this. Yum. Mm-hmm. You good? Mm. Even better than I remember it. Although it’s not hard to recall the last time that we had pizza from Brunos. Yeah, the day in the hospital when I almost died the first time.

Crazy. Why that day was a nightmare. Yeah. It seemed like it was never gonna end. Yeah, going from helpless and hopeless to relieved and elated and completely destroyed, those were hands down the worst days of my life. Mine too, and I thank God every day that you came back to me. I can’t believe how lucky I am.

I think it’s more than luck. You worked so hard to find me. Yeah. Who would’ve thought we’d be reunited in the wine cellar of Victor car’s child at home? By boat of all people.

John and I started out trying to find Megan Hathaway on that creek island. No idea you were even alive A few days later. You were in my arms. I think it shows the power of our love no matter what separates us or what odds we’re against, somehow we always find our way back to each other. Yes, we do baby always.

So you’re thinking about moving out too? Are you surprised? No. It’s just, I I thought you liked living here. Yeah, no, I, I, I do. And yeah, I’m, I’m beyond grateful for Doug and Julie, but I mean, there’s, there’s no way I could have gone back to the Mansion after, and, and, you know, the kids and I, we would’ve had love and support.

But I, I, I just, you know, I didn’t wanna be surrounded by all those memories and here, you know, we get so much love and support, but No, I, I totally understand. Yeah. And, you know, besides we, uh, we have a living babysitter, so that’s, that’s very helpful. No, I’m sure Doug and Jill have loved having Charlotte and Thomas here.

Yeah, for sure. But you know, they can be a handful. And, um, and I’m sure that’s, that’s wearing on them. Um, and they would never say anything. So I think it’s, uh, you know, I think it’s, it’s time for me to, uh, initiate and, and probably find a, a place, a fresh start for me and the kids. Yeah. No, I, I think that makes total sense for you to look for your own place.

Yeah. You know, or, um, or we could, we could find a place together.

Did you just ask me to move in with you? Um, yeah, I mean,

uh, that’s not such a crazy idea, is it? Uh, and we, we, we, we both wanna find a new place and, um, and mean we spend most nights together anyway. I know. But the, we work together and if we also live together, yeah. But I, I, I want to go to bed with you every night and wake up next to you every morning, and that sounds wonderful.

What about the kids? The kids are crazy about you. The feeling is mutual. Obviously. This is a really big step. I just, I, I worry that they would think that I’m trying to replace their mother. No, look,

how about this? Um, I’ll talk to the kid’s therapist and, and if, um, if she thinks that, That it’s something that they’re ready for, then I’ll, I’ll find a way to talk to the kids about it. Sounds good. Everybody and the kids would be psyched. What do you mean? They could have a dance party with you whenever they want.

It’d be amazing. No, I, you know, I always love a dance party. Yeah.

Okay. So then if the, if their therapist says, Says yes, and then the kids are happy about it, then, then, then maybe you would be too. I, I would be very happy about it. Is that a yes? Yes. Yes, Chad? Yeah. I would love to move in with you.

If you don’t slow down, you’re gonna eat that whole pizza. All right. I’m gonna eat this whole pizza. It’s impossible to stop. Impossible. Mm-hmm. Don’t believe me. Try a slice. Oh, jalapeno and uh, garlic. No thank you. No, no. Listen, baby. I’m telling you it’s the perfect combination. No, it’s too spicy. Oh, let me tell you something.

The cheese balance is out. The heat. All right. Trust me. It’s a very complex flavor profile. Did you just say flavor profile? Well, yeah, I’ve, um, I’ve been binging Top Chef on Peacock. It’s really expanded my culinary horizons. So, yeah. Mm-hmm.

Pru it.

You want me to eat fungus pizza special, and it’s delicious. I can. Oh, well maybe your horizons aren’t as expensive as you thought.

I’ll try yours. If you try mine.

I’m so sorry, Justin. I never meant to put you in such a tough position. It’s an awful position. If it’s any consolation, which it’s. Probably not. I feel bad for keeping this from Xander too. I just hope when this all comes out, which it will. It doesn’t get too complicated. Well, it might. Xander has a new girlfriend.

He does. Who? Chloe Lane. When did that happen? Just recently. And apparently it’s getting pretty serious. Wait, so Bonnie’s upset that you’re dating me because of Sarah. Right. She’s said it would hurt her feelings. Why? I mean, you and Sarah are divorced. Yeah, I mean, I reminded Bonnie of that and I had to tell her, you know, Sarah has no interest in what I’m up to.

She’s too busy getting busy with Rex Brady. Is that true? Actually, according to Bonnie, no. How would she know? She ran into Sarah when last week she was in Chicago visiting Mimi. Oh, well, I mean that, that explains it. Sarah’s fresh and Bonnie’s kooky little brain. She’s pretending to be concerned about her feelings.

Trust me. Give it a day or two. She’ll be freaking out about something else. All right.

Funko Vic has a problem with me working at Basic Black and seizing every opportunity that I can. He can tell me that himself. I’ll be sure and relay the message and I’ll remember what you both said at all as fair and business. Family be damned. Oh, you know what? Just a heads up. My husband has a reputation of being ruthless when it comes to the competition, but believe me, huh?

Yes, I know what it is. I can slay with the best of them.

Don’t let Bonnie get to you. Trust me, I’ve known that woman since I was a teenager and she’s always been a little off. Well, I mean, I’ve gotten to know Bonnie a little bit over the last few years and trust me this was off even by her stance. But you know what? I’m going to follow your wonderful advice and not worry about it.

Cause I am actually rather content right now. Hmm. That makes two of us. Hmm.

Wait, wait. Did I just hear your stomach growl? Well, in addition to being content, I am actually rather hungry. Mm-hmm. That makes two of us. But there’s no food in this house. Since we both started working, we’ve kind of neglected the grocery shopping duties so. What do you wanna do for dinner? I, I, we too content, but hungry people are going out.

Sandra and Chloe, not two people that I ever guessed were dating, not just dating, living together. You’re kidding me. I told you things were moving fast, Justin. It makes me wonder whether I. Neither Xander would be slamming on the brakes if he knew Sarah was pregnant with his kid. Well, he doesn’t know, and we’ve agreed not to tell him.

So there’s no point in speculating. Can’t help it. Well, are you saying that you think we should tell Xander? No, no, no, no, no. I made a promise to Sarah and I have to. I have to keep it. There you go. There you go. Take these. Take these. I’ll be right back. Oh gosh. Where are you going? I’m going to the pub to get you some chicken soup.

Oh. Guaranteed to hit the spot. Hurry back please. I’ll be right back. Maybe some brandy too.

So what do you think? Um, it’s interesting. How’s yours? Interesting. Yeah. You sure? You don’t wanna take a sip of that cold beer? No, no, no. I’m, I’m fine. Well, your eyes are watery. There’s no shame in admitting this. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay.

How do you eat that? My mouth is on fire. Yeah. Here. Yes, it is. An acquired taste. Mm, yeah. Well, you acquired a taste for mushroom. No, sorry. Sweetness. I guess we’re gonna have to order two different kinds of pizza from now on. Well, it’s kinda like marriage, you know. Sometimes you agree. Sometimes you have to compromise, and sometimes you just have to let the other person do what they want.

I guess the trick is knowing when to do which. I think we got that down. We definitely do baby.

Get another sip of beer.

Can you believe Maggie? Showing up here acting like I’m some kind of a traitor. You are a liar, Alex. What? You weren’t straight with me, man. What do you mean? I wasn’t straight with you, Brady. I told you Maggie fired me because she thought I botched some kind of major deal. Alex, she didn’t mention that the deal had anything to do with Yuri Kassoff.

Okay. Even when you suggested that we go after his business, that is a liable mission. I didn’t think it mattered. Look, if this is gonna work. You can’t withhold any information from me, none clients deals. You gotta tell me everything. Understood. Why didn’t you just tell me that you had met with Yuri when you were with Titan?

I don’t know, man. I I just figured that if you knew the history, maybe you wouldn’t want to go along with it. Well, imagine that. Alright, look, if you think this is a bad idea, I’ll call Yuri right now and I’ll tell him that we’re backing out. I’ll do it right now.

Well, I am gonna put the rest of mine in the refrigerator so that I can have it from breakfast tomorrow. You know, that’s one of the advantages of not eating the entire pizza on a single night. What’s up?

I’m just thinking about Paulina Stephanie said, and how she couldn’t bring herself to go to the Juneteenth celebration without Abe. I know. So sad.

You know, she was over here last night to see how John and I were doing with the search. Poor woman’s going out of her mind and we had nothing to give her. You will, you are going to bring Abe home and to be without him today must be torture for her. For both of them. Yeah. We both know how hard it is to be apart from the person that you love, especially on your anniversary

all that time. I thought I’d lost you. I was sure I’d never see you again.

And here we are. Devin, a pizza party. I’ll say it again. I can’t believe how lucky I am. You’re both lucky and I am never. I’m gonna take you or our family, or our future for granted. I won’t either. Have I told you tonight how much I love you? You don’t have to tell me, baby. I know.

I love you too. Sweetness.

Alex put the phone down. So you don’t want me to call off the deal? No, I don’t. I What about Maggie? I love Maggie. I care about Maggie. But like I told her, this is business and she wouldn’t expect me to pull out of a deal just to spare her feelings. And besides, we worked our asses off for this. That is exactly what I wanted to hear.

So how about those nachos? Huh? I wouldn’t go celebrate in just yet. Why not? We won. We won the first round. This might be a long fight. You saw Maggie’s face. She’s pissed. I mean, what do you think she’s gonna do? I don’t know, but I know one thing. She’s not gonna take this line down.

You, um, you ready for some dessert? Oh, that depends what’s on the menu. Why don’t you come over here and find out? Oh, uh, Julie, let me in. I’m so sorry to interrupt. No, no, no. Not at all. We were just about to have dessert. Would you like to join? Uh, no thank you. I can’t say. I just, I just came to ask you a question.

Um, okay. Ask away. How would you like to come and work for me at Titan?

So what looks good to you? Everything. Oh, now it’s okay.

Um, Justin, long time no see. Sandra, Hey, you, uh, here for Bite, are you? Uh, no, no. I’m, uh, just here to grab some takeout. Oh, well, why don’t you grab a chair and sit with us while you wait. No, I can’t do that. I’m, uh, I’m in a hurry. I, no, don’t be ded. I’m c crazy. Geez. Come pull up a chair and tell us everything that’s been going on with you.

Oh

damn.

Okay.

Sarah, Hey, uh, it’s body Carus. The reason I call you is that. We need to talk. Look, uh, the thing is, as hard as I’m trying, I, I don’t know if I can keep your secret.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

You know what I was thinking? I was thinking we have one of those beautiful chocolate fountains. Oh. And for the first dance. How about that Amazing Ed Shean song shape of you. It’s my favorite. Anyway. Hey. Hello. Sorry, I, uh, stop thinking about ej. Yeah, well I was trying to distract you, but I guess it didn’t work.

It’s strange how he just disappeared. You think he’s trying to make some kind of end run behind her back? Highly likely. Look, EJ is always up. Something sketchy, as you won’t know. In fact, we should probably be using this time to plan our counter attack. Such as? Such as using his curious absence to make inroads with Megan.

You know, when I ran into her earlier, she said she was still considering our proposal to team up. Oh yeah. It’ll be like gates and Jobs all over again. You don’t believe her, huh? Are you? You leave her Stephan. Are you kidding me? Your sister’s as subtle as a shark attack. Is it not ridiculously obvious that she has her own agenda?

So Lee, have you touched base with the good Dr. Rolfe? Well hurry up. It’s not like we can hire a cruise ship hypnotist to Brainwash Commander Michaels. Now, can we. No, I haven’t decided yet exactly when and where or how, but just that my brother Stephan’s extinction needs to take place at exactly the right time.

Look, stop worrying. Kristen and AJ are locked away nicely. Some tight in the secret room downstairs. There’s absolutely no way they can sabotage.

How’s big mama holding up? Oh, she’s fine now. She’s just taking a little lie down. She’s bone tired from a trip. Yeah, she was saying it was a rough life across the turbulence. Not to mention that she hates flying no matter what the. Well bless her heart for making the effort to come all this way. Yeah, she sure surprised me.

I had no idea she was coming, but you know, maybe it’s a good thing. Maybe it’s good that she’s resting cuz I sure don’t like the idea. Fold the pieces right in front of her. I’m not sure how much I can even hold it all together. Mama, we’re all here for you, Paulina. Oh, I know. And we are all praying for Abraham Darling.

I know. I appreciate that. I know you are. I know you are. Uh, but it’s just that. The longer he’s missing with no, you know, no word from and no way to reach him. Where, where, where God’s name could he be?

Why would you say such a thing of, of course, I’m your wife. Are you feeling discombobulated? Do you wanna rest a little while? I feel perfectly fine except for the fact that you have been lying through your teeth. Darling, why would you say such a thing? I just had a memory from the wedding jumping the broom with the bride in that bride.

Definitely wasn’t. You

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

Leah have to go.

Who the hell are you? I’m Leo Stark, also known by my adoring fans. This lady whistleblower. And you must be Megan Hathaway, also known as Megan Demara. What were you doing in my tunnels? Well, I was going to take the front door, but I knew Harold would never be so kind as to let me in, so I came the back way.

Well, I hope you haven’t helped yourself to our valuable wine collection while you’re down there. I’m more of a banana daiquiri kind of guy, so no, I came straight up to see you. Me the poor. Well, there is a lovely British reporter named Gwen Rizek, who happens to be my best friend, and I happen to know that you and your dastardly son are using her as a pawn in some sort of evil scheme.

But I have news for you, Megan Hathaway, or Demira, or whatever the hell you’re calling yourself these days. You are not going to get away with it. Not if Leo Stark has anything to say about it.

And, um, Hmm. How exactly did this happen? Uh, well, I distinctly remember you kissing me and then.

I’m so sorry, Glen. I hate to do this, but, um, I’ve been waiting on this, this business text.

Is it important? Seeing your beautiful eyes and having just felt your lips on,

I just can help. I

I didn’t take it to four.

No, no. I would’ve let you know if. Obviously the feelings were regretted,

but this, this can’t happen again.

Thank you so much, Julie, for stopping by, for bringing my darling son-in-law with you. I want you to know that Doug and I are standing by for you anytime, anything you need. I appreciate that. And Eli, I want you to know that I sleep, you know, better at night for a little, a little better anyway, knowing that you’re on the case.

Yeah. I told Lonnie that we’d find a, and I don’t intend on letting her down. Oh, thank you so much for taking care of my baby girl. I know, I know. How hard things have been over the past year for you both. Yeah, it’s, it’s definitely been tough. The twins and I, we hate being separated from Lonnie, but. Well, we’re managing as best as we can.

Mm. So sorry that the situation just pulled you away from my precious little jewels and carver. No, it’s okay. I can use the break. Oh, I’m no, but look, I, I don’t intend on being here too long. Like I said, we’re gonna find Abe no matter what it takes. Oh, oh, oh.

Well, if it wasn’t me, sweetheart, then who was it? It was that woman, the one from my dream. You and your dream girl. You know what? What was it? Was it Shirley, Ralph, or are we talking Beyonce? Neither? Well, I don’t know who’s making guest appearances in these dreams of yours, but clearly you are mixing things up.

It wasn’t a dream. I am telling you. It was memory darling. Dreams and memories. You just, they’re all the same thing. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. This was, this was vivid.

I was wary that light blue suit and the bride, bride was wearing a gold dress with, uh, With a black floral pattern. Yes, exactly. That was what I was wearing. But it wasn’t you. Oh, Abraham sweetheart. Of course it was me. Prove it. What? How am I gonna prove it? I don’t. Show me a picture of our wedding.

But Abraham, you saw our wedding photo. My daughter Chanel showed it to you at the hospital, remember? But I had just woken up from surgery and everything was, everything was fuzzy, and that image was pretty hazy. I wanna see it again. Well, I don’t have it on my phone. Just not enough gigabytes at the moment.

So, but we don’t, we don’t have a, a photo album with a wedding around here somewhere. We don’t. It was destroyed. What, how Yeah. And, and a fire. Oh, all of our precious memories just went poof up in smoke. Just like that. You’re telling me that there isn’t a, a single photo left from our wedding? Sadly, no. I’m not a single one.

You know, something’s not right here.

Sophia, tell me about the Juneteenth celebration. Well, everybody was asking about Dad. Oh yeah. They’re all very worried about him. Of course they are. Your dad touched on so many people’s lives. I’m, I’m so glad. I’m proud that you were there to represent him and the family. I wish I could have been there too, but you know, I, I, I just was in no shape to go.

Yeah. Julie said you gave a speech. Darn. My dad was supposed to give. Well, I was surprised to hear, I know how much you hate public speaking. I do, but, um, uncle Chad convinced me to do it. I just hope I didn’t embarrass myself too much. Oh, I’m sure. I’m sure you were wonderful baby. And your father, when he comes home, he be, his heart will be so full hearing that you, you filled in for him.

I hope so. Mm-hmm. Oh, and. I almost forgot. Um, there was this older woman who came up to me after the speech, big supporter of dad’s. She wanted to give me this, she, uh, intended to give it to you too as an anniversary gift, but um, she made it herself. Oh, wow. Kind of her beautiful. She said that I don’t give you strength.

And remind you that no matter how bleak things may seem, never give up hope

or Paulina. She can barely hold it together. Well, that’s understandable. It’s one thing not to be with the person you love, but not to know if they’re dead or alive. I just wish there was more we can do to help her. Oh, you and me both seeing Paulina like this, it just. Breaks my heart. I. I think you mean my heart

evil scheme? I don’t know. I have a clue what you’re talking about. Oh, don’t you play innocent with me, lady. You and I both know that you are using my best friend to launder, your son Dimitri’s soiled reputation that he’s using some kind of hot guy, black magic to manipulate Gwen into writing these glowing pieces about him in the Spectator.

Oh. Is that what you think? I don’t think I know. Look, Mr. Whistleblower, I’ll admit that. I was delighted with your friends ride up onto Dimitri what mother wouldn’t be. People seem to have gotten the wrong idea about him. They think he’s some kind of a monster. He is. He’s like a Bootylicious Voldemort.

Well, I would suspect that your friend Gwen wouldn’t agree with you because he has cast a spell on her hell. It’d probably work on me too. There’s no spell, I assure you. My son is just naturally charismatic and charming. You can’t hold that against him. I can if he uses that charm and charisma to lure my unsuspecting friend into his web of deceit.

Your cynicism is disconcerting, Mr. Stark, not to mention that you’ve got it all wrong. You see Demitri actually enjoyed speaking with the charming Ms. Rizek, and he hopes to spend more time with her in the future. I assure you there’s no hidden agenda.

I, I don’t, I don’t understand. Why can’t it happen again?

Well, um, You and I talked about doing, doing some follow up interviews. Yes. Mm-hmm. And, uh, though I didn’t go to journalism school, I reckon that shagging, your interview subject isn’t really something that you bubbling on a pop quiz, you know? Yeah. No, I’ve probably not. No, I’ve never really been bothered by ethical boundaries myself.

If it is a problem for you, Well, I think I might have an easy solution. No, what’s that? Well, how about we end a professional relationship immediately and pursue a personal one instead.

So by a personal relationship, you mean a romantic one? Yeah. Yeah, that’s exactly what I mean. Gwen, I don’t know about you, but. I have never fallen so deeply, so fast, so hard for someone before. It’s just, um, it’s hard to describe. It’s, um, it’s like a spark, this immediate intense spark that I felt. Yeah. But as you know, I, I, I felt it too.

Um, um, when you told me about your, your upbringing, it was like you were telling me about mine, my story. Um,

I think that, I think that you and I know each other in, in ways that other people don’t really. Yes, yes, that’s exactly it. Yes. There’s something so special between us and I’m suddenly terrified of letting it slip away. And to that end, I think I’m about to ask you something crazy. Crazy. What do you mean crazy?

When risk check

will you marry me?

I hope I’ve addressed your concerns, Mr. Stark, regarding my son’s intentions with your friend, addressed my concerns. How? By bragging that your son is charming, charismatic, and honest to a fault. Well, you didn’t say that, but it was in the subtext and it did nothing to reassure me because A, he’s scary and creepy and so are you, and B, you two are honest, like I’m straight and tall.

Well, I’m sorry you feel that way Mr. Stark, but I’m afraid I can’t spare another minute in all this conversation. So I’m gonna have to ask you to leave. Okay, I’ll go but be warned, Ms. Damira Lady whistleblower is going to be keeping an eye on you. So you and your creepy son had better not do anything to hurt my gny perhaps.

You can use the front door this time, fine. I will. And you know what? I am glad to get away from you because honestly, you give me the Hupy Cheapies, and I know why. You remind me of my mother. She too has only a nodding acquaintance with the truth. Not to mention she’s a conniving bitch on wheels just like you.

Oh, did mommy not tuck you in at night? Didn’t read you any bedtime stories? Don’t think that you have me fooled for a nanosecond, Ms. Mustache twirler. I know that you and your son are up to something. And I am damn welcome to find out what it’s

you. I, uh, I didn’t know you were back in Salem. I’m here to help look for my father-in-law. That’s right. Yes. I heard he was, um, missing this awful, have you heard any sign of him? I didn’t know you cared. Of course I care. Not completely heartless, Julie, speaking of which, I’m glad we ran into you, Julie. It’s good to see that mild ticker is still going strong.

Well, no, thanks to Ms. Hernandez here. Uh, I I, I don’t understand. Isn’t she the one who generously donated my heart to you? Generously. You can’t be serious. Wow. I guess Gabby didn’t fill you in. She used your heart as leverage to get back at Lonnie for shooting you. How so? Look, I can explain. Oh, Alami. First she made Lonnie get down on her knees and beg for it.

Imagine the cruelty of one woman degrading another woman that way, especially a black woman. And then she would never, ever have agreed to the transplant if she hadn’t first made Lonnie swear she was gonna break my grandson’s heart. On his wedding day, then to keep Lonnie in line, she reconstructed the pacemaker in my heart somehow so she could control it from her telephone.

And with the flick of her finger. She could murder me by blowing up my heart. Oh, I, I had no idea she had gone to such extremes himself. You see, even he is disgusted by you. Actually, I, um, I couldn’t be more proud.

Oh, I better head out. I gotta make a pit stop before I head to the Salem end Salem and, oh, no. No way. Just staying right here with us. I thought you guys had a full house. Well, you can take my room and I can sleep at Mama’s. Thank you Janelle. Seriously, guys. It’s fine. Oh, honey, honey, are you sure? We’d love to have you.

No, I’m, I’m sure. Look, I’m gonna be spending most of my time looking for that anyway, so I’ll make sure to stop and as often as I can check in with you guys. Oh, Theo, oh, I’m so glad you’re here. I’m so glad you’re here. Thanks for coming. You don’t need to thank me. A year ago today, we became family, which means that we have to look out for each other.

That’s what, doubt it. What?

I’m sorry, Abraham. I, I wish that I could show you the picture, but unfortunately that doggone fire incinerated our entire album. It’s in the picture on Janelle’s phone. Can’t you send it to you? Uh, I mean, in theory she could. Well, you know, why don’t I call her? May, may I, um, yes. Oh. I bet you I can find the photo on my computer here.

Oh, thank you. Okay, let’s see. Oh, I’m just the empress of digital dust. There’s a lot going on here. This. Folders within folders. I don’t have anything arranged properly. Oh, this lock going, oh, this picture, my trip to Machu Picchu in 22. You know, you know, I, I, I think it’ll be much faster if I just call her.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I think I found one. Um, you did? Yes, I did. Well, the should. Let me see her. You know what? I don’t really like the angle on my face. That’s not my most flattering thing. Just show me the damn picture, Paulina. Okay, fine. Here you go.

Oh my God.

I, I don’t understand. Oh, what’s not to understand, darling, as you can clearly see the bride in the photo is none other than more

my mind must be playing tricks on me guys. That’s the only explanation. That and a little Photoshop. What was that? Huh? Oh, no. Nothing darling. Nothing darling. No. You know, if I’m being honest, the only reason that I was convinced I was right. So I noticed that you don’t wear your wedding ring. Oh. Well, that’s because I leave it at home.

You know what? With all the hand washing that I have to do, I wouldn’t want it to fall down the drain. And so I leave it home and sometimes I forget to put it back on. Can I see it? Uh uh. Sure.

It’s my most prized possession.

Wow. I, uh, I’m so sorry for doubting you, accusing you of not being my wife, especially on our anniversary.

So how can I, how can I make it up to you?

Hle.

I have an idea.

All right. Well done with the dishes. Mama, can I get you anything and a little tea? No. Well, thank you, baby. I’m all right for now. Is that your wedding album? Yeah. And with all this, well, let’s talk about our anniversary. I thought it might be nice. Take a little stroll down memory lane. My goodness. Mama, you were so beautiful that day.

I mean, not that you aren’t every day. Thank you, baby. Oh. Oh, oh, look, that beautiful cake you made for us. You know there’s still a piece in the freezer. Ava and I were supposed to share it today. Oh, mama, you will. Okay. Maybe not today, but, so

what’s this? Oh. Those are Abraham’s vows. That’s a touch button. I should have had somebody personally to fan me down at the altar when he read them. Oh, I just had eight. That’s the copy. I had eight printout for me. His words. They were so heartfelt and the way he delivered them with the that e voice at him, you know, I wouldn’t believe it possible, but I love him even more today than I did back then.

And I wish he was here, so I wish he was here so much so I could tell him that. Oh mama, he knows wherever he is, he knows

you’re proud of Gabby. Proud of her. Humiliating and tormenting and manipulating Alani for over a year in this terrifying way. Lonnie is no saint. She did shoot me in the throat. Your mother was attempting to flee. Lonnie had no choice to fire, and if we being real, it’s your own damn fault for jumping your stupid ass in front of a bullet.

Okay? I do admit that the uh, details are a little fuzzy. That was a very chaotic night, but if I’m not mistaken, that wasn’t the last time Lonnie got in trouble for being a little trigger happy. Isn’t she in prison right now for shooting her own father? Not want a lot of talk after somebody who don’t know what the hell they talking about.

Darling don’t. He’s not worth it. She’s not worth it. They deserve each other. That’s right. We do. And that’s why we’re getting married again. Congratulations for your honeymoon. You can both go to hell.

Oh, father, I suspect you might not like my plans for Stephan, but if it’s any consolation, I’ll do my best to spare Kristen and ej. Then hopefully feeding them well will be a morale boost. Make them less cranky.

Hello? Oh God. I really have to beef up security around here. I’m sorry, I, I hope I’m not interrupting your dinner. Oh my goodness. You are Theo Carver, aren’t you? Lexi’s son. That would be me. Ah, you’re so very handsome. I am your auntie Megan, and it is a real pleasure to finally meet you. You too. So what brings you here?

I’m actually looking for my uncle ej.

Th this, this can’t be happening. I mean, you are, you are joking, right? You’re just having a bit of a laugh, aren’t you? No, no. I’m dead serious, Gwen. I want you to make me the luckiest man on the face of this earth.

I mean, we just met and we, we don’t even know each other. Oh, I know everything I need to know about you. I look at you, you’re insanely beautiful. You’re whip smart. You make me laugh, and uh oh, you’re a maestro in the sheets. What more can men want? This is, this is, this is meant, this is crazy. This is crazy.

Exactly like what she saying. Yes. No, I understand how it might seem that way, but I’ve always been someone who goes after what they want and knows exactly what that is, especially when it comes to matters of the heart. Life is too short to dilly dally

if I’m. Understanding correctly.

Are you saying that you love me? You know, I never believed in love at first sight, but I have been proven wrong. Gwen, I have been waiting my entire life for a woman like you to come by and I am not about to let you slip away. No, not like Xander did that idiot. He, he had no idea what he had. He didn’t appreciates you.

Not like I do. God. I do. And I promise you, Glen. I will spend every single last waking moment of my life devoted to making you happy. And all you have to do is say one little word. Yes.

You’re not saying anything can, I’m sorry. I, I just, oh, my heart’s pounding and, uh, adrenaline is pumping walls from my body and the. So Well, there’s no, there’s no words coming to me. It’s ok. I understand. I completely understand. It is not lost on me how spur of the moment, how impulsive this is, but it just feels so right.

Doesn’t it feel the same way for you? I’m not, I’m not sure. Maybe this will give you some clarity.

With a sock. Oh, holy moly. No way. No how I they, they what in the name of RuPaul’s Drag Race is going on? Imagine, didn’t you see the sock? Yeah, I saw the sock, but I was unaware. We were back in the freshman dorms at state, and you are obviously unaware. You just slept with a lying snake who is going to break your heart into a million pieces, and I’m the one who’s gonna have to pick those pieces up.

Not that I mind because as you know, I adore you. But for God’s sake, Gwenny, have we not established that this guy who is staring at me, will you stop staring at me please? You are creeping me out. Is using you for good press? According to you, Madi, that is because I am the only one who has not taken leave of his senses.

Will you listen to me? Dimitri here has put off our scheduled interviews. Okay. What? You heard me? Perhaps the two of you would rather discuss this. In private. No, no. Please don’t go. No, it’s fine.

Do you mind?

Oh, and Gwen, I don’t mean to pressure you, but. Think about what I said.

I’m afraid your Uncle EJ is outta town on business. I’d be happy to take a message if you’d like. Oh, no need. I was just hoping to see him while I’m in town. He sent me a couple messages about my dad and I said I’d hit him up if I came to Salem, so right. Of course, and I heard about your father. I’m terribly sorry.

Have the police found any leads? Not really. We’ll talk about hope. I’m sure that Nana and my daily departed sister are watching over him. Thank you. You know, you’re really not as scary as everybody makes you out to be. Well, you are as plainspoken as everyone says you are, and I like that about you, Theo. I hope to see you around here more often.

I can’t take this anymore. Oh. Well, what can I do for you, mama? Or we could go for a walk, try and get your mind off things. Oh, no, nothing will. Nothing will stop me thinking about my Abraham, what? I already lost my husband. I can’t go through that again. I don’t have the strength. Of course you do, mama. You are strong and brave, and so you have to just try to stay positive, okay?

For yourself and for Abe, because he is out there fighting to get back to you. I just know it.

Oh,

what have I gotten myself into? Abraham baby.

It is such an honor and a privilege to renew our vows on such a blessed day. Uh, shouldn’t we have invited our family? Oh, Abraham, we have our family surrounding us. Well, I, I, I met, I met Chanel and Theo. Um, oh, what’s that you say? Uhhuh. Uhhuh. Oh, thank you. Thank, uh, apparently the invitations never got to them.

Something about. A scared mailman and an attack dog. Oh, but no worries. We will send them the photos. After all, we have to replace the ones that were lost in the fire. Uh, I’m not exactly dressed for the occasion. Uh, you know what I will, uh, I’ll put on that light blue suit that I wore for the wedding. Ooh, the suit burned up in the fire too.

All we could find were your charred cuff links, so, well that’s, that’s a shame. Fires are so indiscriminate, aren’t they? Anyway, gimme a ring.

Miss Caddy LaBelle will hold onto this until we’re ready. Okay. All. Shall we begin?

So you actually slept with Count Dracula. Don’t call him that. Oh, I’m so sorry. You slept with Dimitri. The dastardly. Not that either. Well, whatever. We’re calling the guy. It is truly repulsive. It is nauseating. But also kind of hot, like I wouldn’t not eat an entire roast sashimi off that man’s abs. Mm.

Yeah. I’m sure that you wouldn’t not. So how was it? No, don’t tell me. Okay. Tell me. But say that it lasted all 20 seconds and there’s a weird birthmark. You can’t unsee.

It was incredible. Oh, damnit. It was, wasn’t it? I hate you. Hate him. Okay. Can you just take it down a notch please? Because you’ve given me a pounding headache and I’m, I’m already. Quite wound up and somewhat dazed. Wound up and dazed. Why? Wait, what did that guy who I hate more now than I did before?

Because I am all sorts of jealous that you two had so much fun doing the dirty and I haven’t had that kind of fun in a month of Sundays. But I’m also angry with him because he’s using you. What did he mean earlier? What does he want you to think about? Nothing.

He just asked me to marry him.

Oh, mother. Oh, Dimitri. Hello? Oh, those look good one from me. No, they were, oh. I must have worked a bit of an appetite sleeping the fair, miss Rizek off her feet and into bed. Oh, Dimitri, that’s wonderful. I am so proud of you. Thank you. Although this is a bit of a weird conversation. Even for us to be having.

So don’t ask for any further details. Okay? Just one. Did you pop the question? I did. And let’s just say that, uh, well, we got interrupted, but don’t you worry. I’m sure she’ll have an answer to me soon. And she will undoubtedly say yes because who could say no to that magnificent face? I can practically hear what he bes already, who’s getting married.

Why you too. Of course. I, I was just, um, telling your nephew here that I’ve been planning and thinking, um, and we are gonna throw the two of you an engagement party. Wow. I That’s very generous of you. That is very kind, Megan. Thank you. Absolutely my pleasure. And I promise you, this will be a party that you will never forget me and I, I must apologize to you.

I, I thought I had put that whole ugly episode out of my mind, but when I saw those two crocodiles rising from their pri ordinal swamp, I lost it. I.

I can hardly believe that awful man’s heart is beating in my chest. Grandma, that’s your heart now. That’s why it’s kind, generous, and loving just like you. Thank you, sweetheart. Let’s forget about them. We got more important stuff to think about, like finding Abe and bringing him home to Paulina.

I’m gonna go check on Big Mama. Will you be all right here? Yes. Yes. Fine. And thank you for the pep talk. You sweet girl.

Linda Price. By the time I met you, I had, I had thought that I had experienced the last great love of my life. But every day, every day, you prove that love is not in my past. It’s in my present, and it’s in my future.

Now you say your vow. I, I’m afraid I don’t remember them. Um, okay, no problem. I I got you. I’m

Do you take this luscious woman, Paulina Price to be your lawfully wedded wife in sickness and in health to love and to cherish until death Do you part.

I do.

Oh, yes. Oh, Abraham, you’ve made me the happiest woman on the face of this earth. Again,

I hope to share that love with our children and. Our grandchildren, as long as God blesses me to.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

What the hell do you think you’re doing?

Feel. Hey Chad, is it really? You come here. Oh God, it’s so good to see you. Yes, I’m here. I’m really sorry about what’s going on with your dad. Yeah, me too. Thanks. That was ju just with Doug and Julie and. They were asking if I’d heard from you. You know, they’re, they’re upset about your dad. Of course we all are, but it’ll be really comforting to them that you’re here,

darling. You’re not eating, not hungry, but you’re okay. I mean, you’re feeling well. I’m fine physically. I’m fine. I’m just heartsick Doug. We, we just got past the anniversary of Abigail’s death and now this disappearance of Abraham. Yes. So much grief in his family. You know, today is, is Paulina and Abe’s first wedding anniversary.

Juneteenth. Yeah. A day of jubilation. And instead it’s, Hey, I hope y’all don’t mind. I let myself in. Eli. Eli. Good, Eli.

Happy anniversary. Abraham.

Oh dear Lord, please. Please let this be good news,

mama. What on Earth? Why are you here? Why am I here? I’m here because I know you need me.

Sorry, I’m late, babe. I had a cold yellow when I was running out the door. So what you been up to? Well, I was watching those old soap tapes of yours when all of a sudden I remembered something very important. Oh, uh, what do you, what do you mean? What did you remember? Don’t you have something you want to say to me?

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

Ooh, you look so good, handsome, tall, slender. Yeah. You look as though you could use a little home cooked food. I’ll just go make you a plate right now. No, no, grandma, it’s, it’s okay. I don’t, I don’t need to eat right now. Don’t fight it, grandson. It’d be a losing battle. Okay. I’m let, let’s do it. Okay. Thank you.

I’ll be right back. Hey, hey, hey. Hey. Wow, you just got here in time. I was about to break out the chocolate truffles to cheer up your grandma. Hmm. But you are the perfect bomb. Oh, I don’t know. She loves her truffles. So, uh, why didn’t you tell us that you were coming? I wanted it to be a surprise. Ray and I, we’ve been in constant contact about a, but it’s, it’s just hard with me not being here.

So I had a couple days off, so I figured I’d show up and see what I can do to help. Well, you’ve helped already just by being here. Oh yeah, darling. Ooh, thanks. Thank you, grandma. You’re welcome. So where are my beautiful, great-grandchildren? Uh, they’re with my mom in DC but I, I promise next time I’ll bring ’em with me.

It won’t be months and months from now, I hope. No, no, no, no. I’ll bring it back soon. Hopefully Abe will be here as well. Yeah, well, we’re all praying for that, but, but unless, unless you’ve heard something from Ray or, or somebody, the, the police don’t have any leads. No, no news, unfortunately. But I did hear that they ruled out Colin Bedford as a suspect.

Yeah. Well we heard that. Abraham is such a good and decent man. You know, he does not have an enemy in the world, and for him to be kidnapped, actually, he still hadn’t recovered completely from that last assault. Why? Oh, why Lord? Who in the world would do this to him? Well, what do you mean, Abe? What? What would I have to tell you?

Well, I was sitting here watching. Body and soul and Cassandra and Rhett were celebrating their second anniversary, their second anniversary of their fourth wedding. That is, And all of a sudden came back to me. What did Paul, today is our wedding anniversary, isn’t it,

baby? I wish I could say happy anniversary and happy Juneteenth too. But I know this is a tough time for you, so I’m just gonna say I love you and I’m here for you. Bless your heart. That means so much to me. But mama, why’d you call and tell me you were coming because I wasn’t gonna let you talk me out of it.

Besides, I had to see with my own two eyes that my baby was okay, well, she’s a lot better. Not a choice.

I had these fires printed. I wanted to do something to help find your stepfather. Yeah. Well, Abe is the mayor, so everyone pretty much already knows he’s missing. So all of this is just performative. Chanel, wait, look, I know I should have said this yesterday at the hospital, but thank you for what? Calling the cops and saving me from Colin.

And I’m sorry about all the terrible things I said about you. Why did you say them? Because Colin was listening to every word I was saying. He had a gun. I had to say whatever I had to to save your life. And yours. Look Chanel, I didn’t want you to get hurt. More than I already hurt you.

Yeah, I wish I would’ve known you were coming. I would’ve asked EJ to send that yet. Uh, no. It’s, it’s cool. I actually bought a ticket months ago. My dad is supposed to give this big speech for the Juneteenth celebration and, um, my wanted to surprise him. Right. Well look man, it’s really good to see you.

Yeah. And I’m sure it’ll mean a lot to Melanie.

Hey. Hey. You okay? Yeah. Um,

my dad, his office asked me to deliver a speech form and for some reason I said yes. What do you mean? I think that’s a great idea. He sold your dad. Yeah. It’s just that it is supposed to happen in like half an hour and. There’s no way that I can do it.

I tried to tell Dad’s staff that someone else should give the speech, but line is unavailable obviously, and they didn’t wanna ask Paulina, so, so why not you? Because I’m terrified of public speaking. It’s basically my biggest fear. I mean, I, I, I start to sweat, I trip up on my words. I, I, my hands are clammy just thinking about it.

Yeah, I know the feeling. You do. Yeah. What do you think? You’re the only person that hates public speaking? No, but I’ve seen you give speeches before. You seem totally cool. Yeah. Maybe if it’s about, um, business or something.

A year ago. A year ago. Um, I, uh, I had to give the eulogy at Abby’s funeral and the pressure, you know, I mean, it was just,

I had to be strong for the kids, first of all, and, and I wanted to, you know, I wanted to use the right words to honor their mother’s memory. She got through it. Yeah. But I wasn’t sure that I would. And then I walked up there and I looked around and I saw all of my friends and family, all of their faces, and I knew that they were there with me and Abby was too.

And then this, yeah, this calm just kind of washed over me. And then, like you said, I got through it and you will too today. You know you’re gonna be the one up there at the microphone, but. You bet your ass. I’ll be there. So Ani and Paulina, Brandon, you know your whole family, your mom, the most important.

Your dad, he will be there too. Yeah. Yeah. I know. I just, I don’t wanna disappoint him. I don’t wanna let him down. You mean you couldn’t if you tried? You want what? Let him down. Some boring white dude drawn on about the history of Juneteenth. Yeah. Sad. Yeah. You’re gonna make your dad proud. Okay. I know you are.

Okay, I’ll do it. But I need your help.

How’s Lonnie doing? I mean, I, I know you’re busy. You, you have the children and you have your job, but. You must get to see her sometimes as much as they’ll allow me to. She’ll be eligible for parole in six months, so hopefully she’ll be home by Christmas. Oh, oh, that would be wonderful. Yes, it would.

Apparently she’s doing incredible things in there. She’s mentoring prisoners, changing lives. It’s, it’s, I don’t know, it’s just so many women in prison. They just need someone to believe in him. Lonnie is a wonder. We’re always so proud of her. Yeah. Oh, I know that when she’s released, she won’t be able to be a cop again, which is a damn shame because she’s, she’s one of the best, but whatever she does, I know she’ll be great at it.

I am counting down the days until she’s home again.

So I hired Black Patch investigators to work with the police. Oh, they’re the best. And they, they happen to be Abe’s closest friends, but they, they still haven’t found anything. Well, baby. Now you told me Abe was dealing with memory loss. You think maybe he could have wandered off? No, I brought that up. But Mama Abe is the mayor.

He’s one of the most recognizable men in Salem. If he was wandering around the streets, someone would’ve called a tip by now. Unless now don’t you go to that dark place. You hear me? Don’t go to that dark place. Especially not today. Come here baby. Come here.

Now you’ve listened to me, you’ve gotta have faith that your wonderful husband will be found and that he’ll come back to you. Okay.

How did you know that it was our anniversary? Are are, are you starting to remember? No. No. But, uh, Chanel your daughter, I. When we were in the hospital, she told me that we were married on Juneteenth. That’s today, isn’t it? That’s right. So today is, is our wedding anniversary. Of course. I wasn’t hiding it from you.

In fact, I was planning a special dinner for us later. How many years are we celebrating? Just one. One. So this is our first anniversary? Yes. Mm-hmm. It is. Uh, you know, we had both lived such full lives before we found each other. I know it’s only been one year, but I feel as if I’ve loved you forever. Can you tell me about that day?

How dog? Yeah. What would you like to know? Was it a big wedding or a small one? It was there. Do we, do we write our own vows? That’s just tell me everything. I mean, maybe you can spark some memories.

Look, before you met me, I know Colin convinced you that my mom and I were these evil people who he needed to pay back for what we did to his family. But then you did meet me. I gave you a job and we were friends. Or at at least I thought you were my friend. I was. But you still did everything he told you to do.

You went along with his plan to destroy our lives. Look, I know it doesn’t make sense and it doesn’t even make sense to me. Okay. But I’m working through it. I went to go see Dr. Evans and she made me realize that. I was in an abusive relationship. Colin abused you? Yeah, emotionally. I mean, he never hit me or anything, but he had this power over me that I can’t even explain.

And I know it sounds crazy to somebody as strong as you. Not crazy really. When I was with Colin’s father, he was my professor and well, He had all the power in our relationship, and even though it was totally consensual, there was just something that made me feel like I had no choice but to be with him.

It’s always easy to see looking back at it, right? And I know that my situation is way different from yours, and I’m not trying to make any excuses for what I did at all. But you and your mom were so good to me, and a part of me felt like I needed to stop Collin’s plan right then, but, but you didn’t. But I didn’t know how Chanel, when he asked me to seduce you and then break your heart, look, I didn’t think that it would happen.

Okay. I didn’t think that you would feel for me, cuz I knew I wouldn’t feel for you. I never even thought about being with a woman before Chanel, but when we got close I did feel something.

You want me to believe you had real feelings for me? Is that what you’re saying? Look, look, no, I don’t know. I don’t know what I’m saying. Chanel, I, I just knew that I didn’t expect to feel so connected to you. Okay. After that, I knew I had to stop lying and I just had to tell you the truth. Yeah. Or are you sure you weren’t just trying to get out of sleeping with me?

I don’t think so. Look, before I left Colin that day, I made him promise me not to hurt you or your mom. Yeah. I guess he wasn’t keeping that promise. No. Unfortunately not. Look, when I saw him on top of that roof pointing that gun at you, I knew I couldn’t let him. Everything after that, I don’t know it. It was a blur on instinct.

I lunged at him, and before you know it, I was falling off the side of the roof. You saved my life and you almost lost yours in the process. Look, I can’t, I can’t take credit for that. Okay. Cuz I know that I could have stopped it way earlier. Okay. But you did stop it and could have been worse. A hell of a lot worse.

He was gonna kill me and then he was gonna kill my mom next. So I owe you a thank you.

Why would you want the gory details of our wedding day? Why were they gory? I mean, weren’t they happy memories? Oh, yes, yes, of course. I mean, well, the wedding part was amazing. It was perfect. But right after we said I do, our daughter confessed to murder. What? Chanel killed somebody. Oh, no, no. Chanel’s my daughter.

With my ex. I’m talking about our daughter Lonnie.

Why am I just hearing about this? I haven’t wanted to overwhelm you with details since When is having a daughter a detail, Helena, why is this the first time I’m hearing about her daughter and, and why haven’t I seen Lonnie? Well, because she’s in prison. In prison. I’m sorry, I just didn’t wanna spring all of this on you at once.

Well, do I have any other children I don’t know about. Yes, actually. You have a son.

All right. So, uh, what do you, uh, do you need some help writing your speech? No, I, I have the speech my dad wrote, but there’s another way that you could help me. Okay. Whatever you need. So, um, back in the day, my speech therapist used to have me line up all of my stuffed animals and just practice having conversations with them.

Okay. So you will, I can go back and get some of Thomas and Charlotte’s stuffies for you. No, I I, I’m kidding. I’m kidding. I’m kidding. You want me to be your audience? Yeah. If, if you wouldn’t mind, fine. I would be honored. Okay,

you grab this.

Good afternoon. I’m Mayor Abe Carver. No, I’m a mayor. Hip Carter’s son, Theo. I know. He wishes you were here today. But I wanna start by talking about what brings us together on this special day

on June 19th, 1865, where it finally reached Galveston, Texas, that the Civil War had ended two months earlier, or importantly, it was a day that the last enslaved people in the United States learned that they were free. That next year, the first Juneteenth celebration was held in Texas. But soon as the families moved elsewhere, they took that tradition with them,

uh, Juneteenth spread all across the country. And finally, last year, Juneteenth became a federal holiday. This day has been known in various parts as Jubilee Day. Emancipation Day and even Black Independence Day. It’s also the day that I, um, no, it’s also the day that my dad calls his anniversary. And today as every day, we celebrate with a mixture of joy, for freedom, sadness, for our years of hardship, and for those still struggling.

I know for a better, brighter future.

And darling, you gotta have faith. Faith in the good Lord. I do have faith Mama. In both the good Lord and in Abraham. Well, you hold on tight to that faith. Okay?

And honey, I know this is supposed to be a day of celebration, but as I recall, your wedding day was not exactly a day of sunshine and roses. No. No it wasn’t. It was the best day of my life and it turned into one of the worst when Lonnie got arrested. And what does that tell you? That today isn’t just about celebration.

It’s about taking the good with the bad, looking to the future, and holding onto that faith. You must never stop believing that a will come back to you. You hear me? I hear you.

Please, no need to thank me. I’m just really happy that you’re okay.

Well, um, I should go. I made teacakes for my mom’s anniversary. Oh, wow. I’m sure she’ll love them. I used your recipe. So does that mean the bakery’s back open? No. No. Um, but I’m working on it. I’m, I’m sorry. Yeah. Well, for what it’s worth, I hope Abe’s found soon, and I know you don’t think it’ll do anything, but I’m gonna continue to knock on some doors and I’m gonna hang up some flyers.

Oh yeah. Look, I’m not gonna give up. Okay. Chanel,

oh my stars. Look at the time I promised Thomas and Charlotte I was gonna take them to the park to meet Chad for the Juneteenth celebration. I’d like to go with you, sweetheart, but I’m still feeling a little wiped out. My darling here went 10 rounds with the flu last week, and one as always. Yeah. See, thank God.

Would you like to come with me to the park? Yeah, absolutely. Maybe Paulino will be there too. Yeah. You know, Abraham was supposed to give the speech today, wonder who’s gonna take his place as if anybody could

to quote President Obama. Juneteenth has never been a celebration of victory or an acceptance of the way things are. It’s a celebration of progress. It’s an affirmation that despite the most painful parts of our history, change is possible and there’s still so much work to do.

On behalf of my dad, we thank you. Happy Juneteenth. Happy anniversary that

it’s perfect. You’re gonna the park.

I’m ready.

Mama, aren’t you supposed to? Big mama. Hi. Hey. Hi. I am so happy you’re here. So good to see you. It’s good to see you too. We have missed you so much. Well that’s good because I missed you too and I know it means a lot to mama that you’re here. So please tell me that you’re staying for a long time. Just a few days.

Oh, well, we’ll have to see if we can talk again into staying longer, a lot longer. We will definitely work on that. And aren’t you supposed to be at the Juneteenth celebration? I was gonna bring some teacakes by afterward, sweetheart. My heart is just not in it today. Not without Abraham. What’s my son’s name?

His name is Theo. Theo. Why haven’t I seen him? Well, um, he lives out of the country, uh, South Africa actually. Oh, he, he is even calling me. Does he know I’m injured? Does he, I mean, I would at least,

what, what, what is it? I think, uh,

I think I’m close to a memory. Well, don’t push it, baby. You don’t wanna upset yourself and delay your recovery. Um, don’t worry, I’ll get that you just rest.

Hello, may I help you?

Hi, I, I’m so sorry to bother you, but I’m, you know what? I don’t want my cat to come out, so let me come outside with you here in the hallway there. That’s better. How can I help you? Um, I’m trying to find a missing person. So what, you just canvassed the whole neighborhood? No, actually, my sister’s a cop and she scrubbed on this address when she was following up on leads.

So I thought I’d start here first. Huh,

mama. I know it’ll be tough for you, but. You should probably get out so that you can not stay here staring at us in these four walls all day. You know she’s right, Paulina. I know, but sitting here is staring at my sweet mom and my daughter and these four walls. That’s all I’m feeling up to today.

I get that. Okay.

Julie. Hi. Hi. Chanel. Oh, oh, oh, my Miss Olivia. Oh, what, what a beautiful surprise. So good to see you. So good to see you too, Julie. Thank you. Well, I, I, I know I’m interrupting a lovely family gathering, but. Colleena. I wanted you to know we missed you at the park. I know I wanted to be there, but, oh, I understand.

I do understand. So, I brought something back for you from the park, Julie, now come on. You didn’t really have to do any Thank you.

Hey. Oh. Oh. If you didn’t come to the party, we bring the party to you. Oh, so. How was the Juneteenth celebration? Oh my God. It was, it was, uh, amazing. It was so moving and I ran into, uh, to Theo before, and he was so nervous, uh, to give Abe speech, but as soon as he got up there, his, his whole energy changed.

His Brilliant. And he was channeling his father. Exactly. Yeah. It was just, it’s just really nice to have something to celebrate this week. Yes. Julie reminded me that this was a anniversary of Abigail’s death. Yeah. Yeah. I decided not to mention to the kids, but like I said to Julie, you know, I, I’m, I’m pretty sure they knew.

Well. Children always understand more than you think they do. That’s exactly what Julie said. And though your precious kids have lived through a terrible loss, they still are spirited and altogether delightful. And Chad. That is a credit to you.

You know what? Before I forget, Lonnie asked me to give you one of these. We love you, Pauline. Excuse me? Can I get one of those? Oh, now you know I’m gonna give you a kiss. Big mama.

I missed you. It’s good to see you. It’s good to see you, and it’s good to see you too, sister in-law. Hang right back at your brother-in-law, Eli. Thank you. Thank you for being here. Thank all of you. Hey, where else will we be? Think mommy, you know, maybe you are right. Maybe I did need my family and my friends around me.

Maybe. Of course I was right.

Is there room for one more? Oh.

Oh, well, the commissioner came to question me because I was on duty at University Hospital on the day that, uh, uh, mayor Carver disappeared. Apparently, I was one of the last people to see him before he went missing. Oh, oh, really? Did you notice anything suspicious at all? No, no. As I told Commissioner Hernandez, I saw nothing.

It’s so wonderful. Haven’t you all here? I just only wish that Abe was here to see all the people that he loves coming together like this. Well, maybe he can’t see us, but I believe we can make him feel us. No, I do. Let’s all gather around. Oh goodness.

Abraham Carver, we know you’re out there. I want you to know we love you. We miss you. So much, oh, do we ever? And my precious, precious husband is me, Paulina, your wife. And I want you to know no matter where you are, I feel your love and send you mine. And may you never, never leave my heart.

With this ring, I,

I gotta say I am feeling pretty good about this hand. I’m glad to hear it. I know you got a lot better things to do than just babysitting me. Yeah, I was gonna say the same to you. Well, I don’t, and I, Chad, I can’t think of one thing I’d rather be doing than just hanging in with you. They don’t, in that case.

Jen

man, foiled again, I’m gonna beat you one of these days. We’ll see you about that. Yeah. I may, uh, manage you to be the ripe old age 125, but I’ll beat you. I’ll do my dinges. Okay, well one more unto the breach. It was great. Great to see Eli again. Wow. And it lifted Julie’s spirits. Yeah. I’m sure it’ll lift Paulina’s spirits too.

You know, wherever Abe is, I hope he can feel all the love his family is sending his way.

You know, it’s been way too long since you sent me pics of my, my grand babies. Paulina, I just sent you pics yesterday. Well, what about today? All right, everyone. Now Miss Olivia and I as the two matriarchs of this family, wanna propose a toast? We do. Of course we do. Now, we all know today is a mixed bag.

It’s Juneteenth great celebration, also a great celebration for a very important anniversary. But we are all missing Abraham, something fierce. Fear. You know, I’ve known Abraham Carver longer than anybody else in his room.

And I know that he would want us to go forward with a celebration and he’d be so proud and honored of the speech you gave in your father’s name today, and all of the town turned out to give their support. Today. Can, can I say something? Oh, please. I wanna make a toast to all of you for being here to love, support, and celebrate my brilliant, powerful mother on her anniversary.

Oh, her love and faith are what’s gonna bring Abe home. Happy anniversary, mom. Yeah,

happy anniversary.

And this time next year, we are all gonna be meeting together in this room with Abraham to celebrate your second wedding anniversary. Amen. Abraham, wherever you are,

we know that you’re thinking of us just as we are thinking of you

Rain. Ivy, we with this Ring Ivy, we.

Sorry about that darling. Sorry, it took so long. I was a door-to-door salesperson. I thought I’d never get rid of her. Hey, what’s the matter? You look like you’ve seen a ghost. You’re not my wife.
