Recap written by Michele and Cheryl

Megan was happy to see Dimitri at the DiMera mansion and home where he belonged. Kristen wasn’t happy about him being there. She rehashed what happened with the Peacock caper. Megan wanted her to let it go since they were going to be married. Dimitri and Kristen were surprised by her announcement. Kayla approached Nicole, Eric and EJ about the paternity test results. NIcole wanted them to go somewhere private, but Kayla was dealing with Abe’s disappearance. Nicole was shocked by the news. Eric wanted to know if Nicole was okay. EJ stepped up and assured her that DiMera security would help with the search. Kayla handed Nicole the results and left to meet with the head of the hospital. Sloan was upset about what happened with Colin. Jada showed up at her place with a warrant. The women start arguing. Sloan told her to go on with the search. She was dealing with enough since Nicole was pregnant. Jada was shocked. Sloan told her that Eric might have got Nicole pregnant. She blamed Talia for drugging the biscuits. Sloan thought she brought up bad memories for her since she would still be with Eric if she didn’t get an abortion. She thought he would get to be a father after all. She let Jada know that Colin was talking to Leo. She told her to talk to him about it.

Nicole read the results with her back to EJ and Eric. She turned to them and told Eric that he wasn’t a match. EJ became excited. He had a feeling that he would be the father. He thought it was a miracle. Eric congratulated them. EJ knew it was hard for him, but it was best for everyone. Eric walked to the elevator as EJ held Nicole. EJ said that it changed everything. Nicole’s face fell as she agreed with him. Megan reminded Kristen and Dimitri that they weren’t blood related and that Stefano groomed Tony and Kristen to be together. Kristen and Dimitri passed on the idea. Megan reminded him that he was going to inherit the Von Leuschner fortune, but he had to be married by the time he turned 40. She told him that he was 39. He wanted to know how much money was involved. She said it was more than enough for her and Kristen to take over the world. She thought Dimitri would agree to go through with the plan. Eric went to Sloan’s place. He told her that he wasn’t the father of Nicole’s baby. Sloan admitted that she was hoping that was the outcome. She knew he was hurting about it. Eric said it wasn’t the right time. He assumed it was for the best. EJ wondered if they should tell everyone the news or keep it quiet. Nicole wasn’t sure if she would carry the baby to term. He wanted her to get the best care possible. Dimitri decided not to marry Kristen. Kristen agreed with him. She didn’t think she could win her custody case if she were married to her nephew. Megan said they would have to find someone else to marry him. Gwen showed up there looking for him. Sloan told Eric that she hated seeing him in pain. He was happy to be there with her and he was looking forward to their future together. Sloan flashed back to taking the DNA sample. She watched Eric sleep. She couldn’t risk losing him. She wanted the test to come back negative. She swabbed her own cheek instead of Eric’s.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Congratulations on your first day at your brand new.

Did it not go well? Oh no. It went great. So great that I quit. All because of your partner, Gwen.

Start date ASAP requirements. Don’t be Chloe Lane. 20. I need your help. I’m in trouble. Big trouble. What is it now, Marty? It’s a nightmare is what it is. There’s a cycle on Halluc. He’s got me the sights. Guess I surprised you, mother. I’m telling him. Boy. Yes you did. You don’t call, you don’t write. Oh, but look, what’s important is that you’re here now in the family home where you belong.

Yet another prodigal son, just what the family needed. This isn’t some sick competition, okay? This is about a child, a life. And I need you to, to be kind to each other and to me, because it, it breaks my heart at the one thing that I have longed for for so long. Something that is a, a blessing and a miracle ends up being fraught and painful.

I need you to help me through this, okay. Whatever the results are, whoever the father is. Can you do that for me please? Ah, Nicole. I have your results.

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

Can we go somewhere private please? I would love to, but I am the middle of dealing with an emergency. Does it have something to do with Colin Jeffrey? Well, it’s about a lot more than that. Abe disappeared this morning, too. Disappeared right out of his recovery room, and the precinct of the two of those things are probably connected.

Oh, where are you Colin? What are you up to now?

Colin, open up at the police.

What do you want? Yes, a warrant. Seriously, do you actually think I would be dumb enough to hide my brother at my own apartment? Maybe not, but if you are helping him, there may be evidence in here somewhere if I were helping him, which I’m not. I wouldn’t also be dumb enough to be leading clothes lying around.

Right.

You know, the department might be better off recruiting some officers who aren’t so easily overpowered by a guy who just fell off a roof. You’ll listen to me, Ms. Peterson. The mayor is missing and your brother might have him, and if you have the slightest idea of where he is, I suggest that you tell me now because I promise you things will not go well for your brother or you.

Could you be a bit more specific? This town is full of psychos. Hello? The one who tried to murder the mayor, not to mention his wife and daughter. Colin Bedford is out to get you. That makes no sense. Uh, you could try showing a little more concern if for no other reason than I’m covering half the rent. I just think you’re being a bit paranoid.

Oh, you’ve never heard the expression. Just because you’re paranoid does not mean they’re not out to get you. Okay, darling, why is Colin out to get you? Oh, thank you for asking. Finally, so here’s what happened. I lost my phone in the park, so I started to panic thinking about how my mentions must be piling up.

So I flagged down this super hot cop to help and it turned out to be him. Colin Bedford pose as a police officer. Yeah. And now he knows that I know that he’s no cop and he wants me dead. How long do you think it is until he shows up at the door?

So tell me. What took you so long to show up here? Yeah. Blame the tired antics of the US government. Let’s just say that they were less than thrilled to grant us our immunity in exchange for the turn of Shane Donovan’s son. So they made sure to make my customs process a rather arduous one. Well, I am just glad that you’re here now, finally, where you belong.

Mm-hmm. Now you remember your aunt Kristin? Oh yes. How could I forget yet? Last time I saw you? My quest for some precious jewels wound up putting my own jewels in quite an unnerving jeopardy, whatever are you talking about? You don’t recall our encounter in Amsterdam? You pointed a gun at my crotch. Oh man.

Yeah. Yeah, that, yeah. Well, I didn’t know you were my nephew at the time, huh? I thought you were some pesky. I s a agent in the thro of Inci Billy Reid. Okay. Enough. Hmm. Let us just let bygones be bygones, shall we? Especially a few two are going to be married. What? What?

I don’t get it. What? Why exactly did you quit your job at the newspaper? Two words. Too many letters. SWE rises in check. All right. What did she do? What didn’t she do? That bitch rolled out the unwelcome mat in so many awful ways. I lost count. Do you know where my office was? Wasn’t on the executive floor?

No, it was in the broom closet. She literally put an old desk in the closet with a landline and a dialup modem. Come on. There’s no way that true that you’re exaggerating. I, I wish I was. And then she was texting me every 45 minutes with some new unreachable sales goal. Maybe she was trying to motivate you.

Oh, come on, sander. She was setting me up to fail. Oh, listen, I know that you stuck your neck out for me for this job. I’m not gonna put up the crap like that from anyone. Don’t be sorry. I I should be sorry. I had no idea she’s gonna treat you like this. Well, you tried. Yeah, I did. I think the problem is you did not.

I’m sorry. What? Please don’t quit. Not yet. Why the hell not? Isn’t it obvious if you quit? Gwen Wenner.

Come on, Mattie. Nobody’s coming here to murder you. Well, another cockeyed optimist. You are Colin Bedford is on the run from the law, or the least of his problems matter if I go yapping to the police about my encounter with him, which obviously he doesn’t want. Hence he’d prefer me to be pushing up daisies.

Come now. What could you possibly tell the police that they don’t already know? I cannot believe you were being so bla about this. The guy is legit scary Gwenny, not to mention blazing hot, especially once he dropped the cop act and started talking in his real accent and a little smile, huh? So charming.

Honestly, I do feel like there was some chemistry between us. See, look at that. He probably thinks you’re hot too. If there was chemistry, you’ve got nothing to worry about. Just focus on something else. Like what? Light your next column. I am not writing about that. Limey. Hunk, if that’s what you mean.

Offering to tell his story is what got him riled up in the first place. Right. I get that. No, um. Actually, I need you to find me some dirt on somebody else.

Mother, I’ve been in America for less than an hour and you’re already trying to marry me off. To my Aunt Mel. Yes. Yes. And you. And you make this outrageous suggestion without consulting me first because I was confident that you go along with it. Look, you too aren’t related by blood, as you well know. And this is hardly breaking new dira grounds.

Didn’t my father raise you to be my brother? Tony’s intended. Yeah. Well that was a long time ago and hardly something I am proud of. Uh, but it was father’s wish and so you saw the wisdom in it, and I see we still do now. I raised my glass to the upcoming NEP tools. Of two superior human beings

outta curiosity. Has a Salem PD ever heard of conflict of interest? Let’s not forget you have family mixed up in this mess too, detective. My sister would’ve had nothing to do with this if it hadn’t been for your lunatic brother and his dry for revenge. Of course, your sister’s the innocent victim, even though she’s the one who’s actually committing the crimes that my brother’s being accused of.

Just finish your search and get out of here already. Okay. I. God, I fed enough in my mind with my boyfriend’s ex being pregnant. Excuse me. Oh, you didn’t know. Yeah. Nicole knocked up. And, um, since you’re bound to ask this, I’ll just save you the time. The baby might be Eric’s,

are you okay? Yeah, it’s just. It’s Abe. I know, I know. Maybe you should. We’re gonna find him, Nicole. I’ll get on the phone right now and I volunteer. Damir is security Force to helping the search. Thank you. Are, are there any leads as to where Abe went? Not yet. Um, listen, I need to go to my office today. Head at the hospital is waiting for an update.

Okay. Well we understand. Okay. I am, I’m if you need me. Thank you, Kayla, for running the test, Uhhuh.

This is, I know exactly who this piece of buttered toast is. Formerly hunky all-American ISA agent Kyle Graham, well still hunky, but now Dimitri von Roiner’s his name and blowing up the world is his game. Did you say he’s not dangerous? Okay, I might, but that’s just because it’s such a good story. So what is this supposed to be?

Some sort of jailhouse interview? Ah, you are a bit behind on the news, aren’t you, darling? No. Not only is Dimitri free as a bird, turns out he’s also got some deeper roots in this town. What kind of roots? Rotten ones. Our little handsome Dimitri here is a Demara, another one of Stefano’s bastards. Mm. Close Megan Hathaway’s son.

Ah, there’s a twist on a twist. Mm-hmm. And my sources say that his plane has just landed in Salem Evil family reunion. That’s what I want you to find out. Why is he here and what does he want? Sounds great. Lady gb, you’re have to get someone else to cover it. I’ve already got one psycho killer after me. I sure shoot and don’t need another one.

Yeah, sure. We’re aware that we’re not blood related, but we’re also not a good math. Yeah. And to put it mildly, this is especially not our age difference. Ah, watch it. And also other. General Incompatibilities, hang on, come on. I think you two could be highly compatible if you gave it a shot. You’re both extremely bright.

Mm-hmm. Charming. Mm-hmm. Charismatic. Put that aside. I propose that you propose Dimitri for practical reasons and I propose that you explain what the hell that means. Well, I have recently been made aware of the fact that there’s a very sizable amount of Von ROI money that Dimitri is in line to collect.

There are strings. There always are. Okay, and what are the strings? The trust specifies that he must be married by the time he turns 40. And how old are you now? 39 and three quarters. Mother. Why have I never heard of this? Trust? I’ll wait for the same reason I haven’t until now. There are some members of your extended family who are hoping that you won’t make the deadline, but the money is yours provided you act.

And how much money are we talking here? More than enough to kickstart our plans. Plans. Oh, that’s right. You weren’t here. Kristen and I want to take over the world. I assume you’re in

Eric and Nicole. They’re not even seeing each other. And Nicole’s dating edit Damara last I heard. She is. So if Nicole is pregnant with Eric’s baby, You can blame your sister for that one. What does my sister have to do with this? She’s the one that spiked those biscuits seems. Nicole and Eric got their hands on a couple and while under the influence got all about ej me birth control.

I see all that’s unfortunate for everyone involved. Yeah, it’s true. I mean, it must bring up some painful memories for you too. I mean, you and Eric. You would still be together. You hadn’t gotten that abortion. You guys could be singing Sweet Little Lullabies, little Eric or Erica Jr. Instead, he might finally get to be a father with someone else.

If you wanna wait to open that until we get news about hey. But I totally understand. Oh, okay. The FO sympathy. You want answers just as much as I do. Better to get this over and done with now, and once we have the answer, you can concentrate on bringing home your dear friend. Sure. Because it’s all about Abe Bright, ej.

You sick and tired of him hanging around, buzzing in your ear with all his sanc. Please, both of you just let me do this.

Well, what does it say,

Eric? It says that. You’re not a match. I knew it. I knew it. The child is mine. Old darling. It’s a miracle. Nothing less. Oh, we can give it a gift.

Congratulations. Oh, Eric, I’m sure of this. Stevens a bit, but in the long run it’s what’s best for everyone involved. We don’t have to go through the awkwardness of you and Nicole raising a child together while her and I in a relationship, and your girlfriend has spared the pain of you fathering a child with another woman.

In a sense, everyone to win it today. I guess that’s it. I wish you best of luck with everything. Thank you,

Dolly. This is a gift. It changes everything. It does.

See, told you you wouldn’t find anything.

Oh, look at there. No people, no clues, no breadcrumbs. Just me. If you feel like grilling somebody though, you could check in with Leo Stark. Why would I question Stark? Well, because he said he ran into my brother earlier today. What? Why didn’t you tell me that when I got here? Hmm. Oh, because it’s not my job to help you do your job.

You withheld vital information in an ongoing case. You wanna arrest me as an accessory? Go ahead. I would love nothing more than to sue you in the department for false arrest,

not.

Look, I know Gwen can be difficult at times, but please don’t close the door on this opportunity. You said yourself, the spectator could be the perfect fit for you. There’s nothing perfect about working with that witch. Ah, I know, but she’s only bullying you because she didn’t get away. You mean because she doesn’t like that I’m living here with you.

Whatever the reason. I know you can overcome this. You’re not afraid of bullies, aren’t you? Hell no. I’ve been standing up to them since I was in high school. There you go. So, you know, the only way to beat a bully is to prove to them that you can’t be pushed around, that they’re not gonna break you, not get bored and move on to the next target.

So, I’m just supposed to be miserable until she’s bored with me. Yes. Perfect. Exactly. But I, I’ll be there to minimize the misery or fight every indignity. She throws you away. And I just need you to fight too. I know you’ve got it in you. Oh, maybe I don’t wanna fight. Maybe I’m just tired, Chloe. It has only been one day.

Yeah, tomorrow’s gonna be the same way. And then the next day and the next day and the next day. Why should I subject myself to that? Do it for me.

Stay in the job for you. Look, Gwen and I are locked in a battle of Will and if you leave, I’ll be on my own against that woman. That woman who you used to love. Yeah. Well now she lives to antagonize me in it. But if you quit, she’s gonna use that as proof that I was wrong about you and everything else and she’ll never stop lording it over me.

I do believe that, Hmm. I mean, from here on out, it’ll just be one battle after another and unrelenting slog of bickering. And also, he’s gonna turn me into the most miserable roommate. You’ll come home every day to a darkened apartment and a brooding Scotsman just staring off into the distance, contemplating how his life turned into such a hot mess.

Mm-hmm. That does sound tragic. How could you possibly do that to me after everything we’ve been through, getting these pictures up on the walls? Okay, stop it. You had me at brooding Scotsman, so you will stick at it. You’ll stay at the job. I’ll give it another try. You won’t regret it, I promise. Mm, we’ll see about that.

In the meantime, pour us a couple glasses of that. Oh, forget the champagne. Let’s go out and celebrate. I’ll tell you wherever you wanna go. Oh, honestly, I’m not really in the mood. I’d rather just stay and put my feet up and watch a movie. Can we just order delivery? Absolutely not. You’re sacrificing yourself for my sanity.

You deserve better. I’m gonna prepare a feast now. I’m not named Cook for nothing. Hey, he’s got jokes for first a toast. To your ultimate victory in Gwen’s inevitable defeat.

Can’t believe the great lady whistleblower would pass on such a juicy story. And I can’t believe that you’ve forgotten how I’m the one who switched the emerald on that. A manian peacock, that va lo MiiR, whatever the hell his name is, needed to Doctor Evil the world. Well, that’s why I think your histories makes you so uniquely suited for this job, except that the guy probably wants me dead for foiling, his plants.

I don’t need another psycho when he put my head on the wall. Very well. We just have to find somebody else then to cover the greatest and largest story of the year somebody else can buy for the Pulitzer. Pulitzer. Yeah. Book deal. You know, you write a story like this, an article like this, and you get a podcast or bestseller or hit series.

I do love crime shows. Mm. Yeah. This is, uh, All the elements here for a great breakaway hit, money, power, hot, untrustworthy guy. You know, I’m actually thinking this could be seven figure deal, seven figures. That’s one with six zeros after. Hmm. At least, but it’s okay. I understand your trepidation. I wouldn’t wanna put you in any danger, so just pretend I didn’t say anything.

Well, let’s not be hasty. I, I do know how to keep myself safer on dangerous men. Are you saying you’re interested, interested? No, I, well, I mean, no. Still No. What good is all that money? If you’re too dead to spend it, find someone else to cover it, that’s fine. You want something bloody done. You have to just do it yourself, don’t you?

You’re gonna write it. You’re dare write. I’m gonna write it. And you know what? If something does come out of this, don’t you dare expect me to share the half with you, Mr. Leo Lion hearted, who’s obviously not. Lock the doors. Now you dunno who’s gonna come calling. Do you?

So this is what you meant by having a plan to finance our mutual ambitions. Exactly. If we keep it in the family, if you will, then we can get the money quickly. And that would save us time having to find a suitable mate for Dimitri and avoiding the risk that she’ll turn out to be a gold digger. Mm, yes.

Much better for me to marry someone’s steady and trustworthy like Auntie Christian. Oh, and look who’s talking Agent Graham. All right, you too. No sniping. Opportunity is knocking and we must answer.

Did you bring the SWAT team with you this time? Hey Eric? Yeah. Any news about your brother and did they find him? No. No, but you did just miss Detective Jada and her search warrant, complete waste of time, obviously, since they didn’t find anything. Right. You heard about Abe? Yeah. You don’t think, no. No. Oh, look, Colin is desperate.

He’s, he’s not a monster. He’s also not stupid enough to put a big target on his back like that. How did you hear about it? Is it, is it on the news? No, not yet. I was, I was at the hospital and Kayla told me, oh, what were you doing at the hospital? Nicole got her results from the DNA test, and I’m not there.

Am I? Oh, you don’t have to pretend you aren’t happy,

Bob. I can’t deny that’s what I was hoping to hear, but I know how much you wanna be a father, and I see you’re hurting. It’s not the right time’s. Probably for the best. Right.

What’s happening, what’s truly happening? We’re having a baby together. I know this sounds strange, but I, I felt it all along that this was meant to be.

So, um, do we share the news or do we keep this to ourselves? Um, I, I think. I think we should wait. Are you worried about your history? I don’t wanna be negative, and I also, I don’t wanna forget that there’s a chance, I mean, a really good chance that I can’t carry this baby to term.

I understand we’ve dealt with this disappointment twice before. But don’t let the past dictate the future. We have to remain positive and the first step is to get you the best care possible and there is no time to waste.

All right. No time to waste. Come and get it while it’s hot.

Egg sandwiches. Well, the one thing I really do know how to make well is a traditional Scottish breakfast, so I made a kinda like dinnertime version of it. So before you have drops cones, we have eggs with crowdy cheese and a weeper a ham. And you’ll be glad to know I spare you the haggas. So here’s some sausages instead.

Hmm. I don’t understand half of what you just said, but it sounds impressive. Well, please withhold judgment until after you’ve tried it, but go ahead.

Okay. There’s a lot of pressure with you watching me right now. Oh, sorry. How does this help? Ooh, okay.

I’m actually really good. Yeah? Mm-hmm. That’s really good. You got some skills, Mr. Cook. Well, I will say that it does pair rather nicely with the champagne. I am sure it does. You know the French stole the idea for champagne from Scott’s Champagne. There’s no way that that’s true. It’s absolutely true. No.

Scottish people invented all kinds of tasty things like hamburgers and pizza. Okay. You were literally just making things up right Now. Why would I do that? I am not a liar. Chloe Le. No Scottish people. Well, very famous inventors. We invented hoverboards. We invented zippers. We invented kissing. Kissing the Scott’s invented kissing.

Well, maybe we didn’t invent it, but we certainly perfected it.

Wow. Do I hear wedding bells? I have already picked out the most gorgeous mother of the groom dress. I gotta hand it to you, mom. You certainly thought this all through. But my answer is no. Kristen. Oh Shirley. You are smart enough to make the right choice and persuade your nephew that this is the best strategy that we have.

Ah, sorry, megs, I’m gonna side with your boy on this. I’m gearing up for a custody fight and showing up in court with my nephew on my arm is not gonna win me brownie points with the judge. Pathetic. A relaxed mother. Plenty of fish in the seat. Yes, and most of them are not suitable for you to marry. If we are not keeping it in the family.

We have to find someone very special for you, Dimitri. Woohoo. Anyone home? The door is open. I’m looking for Dimitri. Yvonne Ner.

I suppose it wouldn’t be so bad to get up close and personal with that. Uh, funny. You were homosexual instead of homicidal. Oh my god, what’s the other homicidal maniac?

Open up. It’s a belief. Yeah. Yeah, I know. What can I do for you, detective? I understand you had a run in with Colin Bedford. Uh, yes I did. It was very brief. Still a little chat, all small talk. I don’t know anything, I swear. Oh, I think you do. And you’re going to tell me everything about the encounter from start to finish.

Unless you’d like to spend the night in Joseph,

I’ll be putting out a statement about the Colin Bedford possible involvement in Abe carver’s disappearance in about an hour. But until then, if there’s any press inquiries, please refer them to the administrator’s office. Uh oh. Okay. That’s great. Thanks so much. Come in Dr. Johnson. Uh, a moment. Um, sure.

Nicole. Hi. How are you doing? She is doing wonderfully well. We both are. Now that we’ve gotten the news, we’re hoping for. Oh, well, I’m glad that’s the case. Please. Uh, have a seat. Go ahead. How can I help? Uh, well, uh, we were concerned about my medical history. You know, if I can carry the baby to term, and as you know, the scar tissue on my uterus has created issues.

Well, I know you’ve had your struggles. Perhaps there have been some advances in treatment since the last time she was pregnant. Anything that could help boost our chances. Well, I’m not a fertility doctor obviously, but I can certainly give you a referral. Excellent, excellent. And, uh, we will remain optimistic and hopeful.

As you should. Well Nicole, I need to go make a statement to the board about, uh, the Abe situation, but I wanna talk to you, um, and I will be getting you guys that specialist phone number. Okay? Thank you.

I’m in your corner.

See you later.

I promise you this, I will move heaven and earth to get us a successful outcome. You will bring this baby, our baby to turn.

I’ll pray for that. I love you, Nicole.

I,

I

speaking that I’m here with you and I just.

I look forward to our future together.

I love you. I love you.

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

You.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

It’s actually really good. Yeah. Mm-hmm. You got some mad skills, Mr. Cook? Well, if I say so myself, it does pair rather nicely with the champagne. I’m sure it does. You know the French stole the idea for champagne from the Scotts Champagne. There’s no way That’s true. It’s absolutely true. Ah, Scottish people invented all kinds of tasty things.

We invented hamburgers, pizza, okay, you’re literally just making things up. Now. Why would I do that? Scottish or famous inventor as, what else did we come up with there? Zippers, hoverboards. Kissing. Kissing. The Scott’s invented. Kissing. Well, maybe we just. Perfecting it.

Oh, I’m just glad this time you didn’t slap me,

yo. I just wanna make sure that all units know unequivocally, this is our top priority. It’s all hands on deck situation. Okay, well keep me posted.

Oh, well, how’d the arraignment go? I may bail. Yeah. Good. Yeah. Well, your sister will be relieved. Yeah. Well, it helped that Talia expressed great remorse for her actions, and I assured the judge that she will testify against Colin. Right. Well, unfortunately that will all be moot if we can’t find him. What do you mean if you can’t find him?

Call and escaped.

Wait. You can’t just put me in jail. I’m an innocent civilian. I didn’t do anything wrong. You had contact with a known fugitive and you failed to report him to the police. I was scared. Okay. I was shook. Look, look at what he did to my phone. I was worried he would do the same thing to me if I ratted him out to the fuzz.

You sure you weren’t keeping quiet so you could write about this in your column? You know, clout chasing as they say. What? No, no, I wasn’t chasing any clout. Detective, please do not put me in jail. I am not suited for it. It won’t come to that Leo just so long as you tell me every detail about your encounter with Colin Bedford.

Thank you. Yes, I am more than happy to help, but is there any way you can leave my name out of it? I do not need another target on my back. Another one. Believe it or not, Colin Bedford is not the only evil European dreamboat who might be out to get me. A couple of summers ago, I incurred the wrath of one of Salem’s, shall we say, newer bad boys, Dimitri Von Weisner.

Sorry, me. I’m gonna have to side with your boy on this. I’m gearing up for a custody fight and showing up in court with my nephew on my arm is not likely to win many brownie points with the judge. Pathetic. Oh, relaxed mother. Plenty of fish in the sea. Yes, but most of them are not suitable for you to marry Dimitri.

If we’re not gonna keep it in the family, then we have to be very careful finding you an incredibly special woman to marry. Yahoo. Anyone home The door was open. I’m looking for Dimitri Vonner. I’m Dimitri. And you might be Gwen first check editor in chief at the Spectator. Ah-ha. So you’re a reporter. Mm.

And also my friend, but I take it you’re here on business. Yes, I am. I’m, um, actually hoping to get the scoop on your nephew. He’s, uh, was in quite the stir and um, I’m sure that our loyal readers would love to know a bit more about Mr. Tall, dark, and Handsome. Well then it seems that you’ve come to the right place.

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

sister. Hmm? You have yet to introduce me to your charming friend here. Oh. Oh. Well forgive me. Um, Gwen, this is my sister, Megan Damara. Megan Gwen, pleasure to meet you. Likewise. So how do you two know each other? Um, but you like to tell her or shall I? Oh dear. Um, well, Uh, Kristen blackmailed me into helping her escape police custody.

Such a good friend, good friend that I am. I returned the favor helping Gwen out of a jammer too, including obtaining her, pardon when we were at Statesville together, which I am still very grateful for. And, uh, forgive me if I’m being too intrusive, but what brought you to prison?

Well, um, my sister Abigail, your Uncle Chad’s. Deceased wife was being a bit of trouble, and I mean that with absolutely no disrespect at all. She was a wonderful woman. I still grew her loss actually, but being at a very vulnerable time and place in my life, I perceived her to be quite a threat. Um, so sort of shipped her off to a deserted island,

but, um, she was eventually rescued, wasn’t she? Um, yeah, but when she found out that I was responsible for shipping her to said island, well, you get the picture. Sure. Yeah. It sounds like, um, Well, it sounds like it was a trying time for you. Yeah, it was more trying for Abigail actually. It’s something I will always regret doing to her, but anyway, enough about me.

How about you? I have been following your story, Dimitri. I find it quite fascinating and I would really love to get an interview with you. Sorry. But I’m not interested in doing press.

Let’s not be so hasty.

What happened after he destroyed your phone? He just walked away. The creep. Do you remember in which direction? West? No, east up left. I’m, I’m directionally challenged. Needless to say, I didn’t follow him since he was the one with the gun. Okay. Uh, is there anything else that I should know? That’s everything.

I swear you’re well then. Thank you for your time, Mr. Stark. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait, wait, wait. I answered all of your questions. So, in the interest of reciprocity, I think it’s only fair, you answered some of mine bad. What? Your sister, Talia Hunter.

Wait, Colin took the mayor hostage. Well, we don’t know that for sure, but it’s, it’s a hell of a coincidence. This is all . Yeah. I mean, Chanel and Paulina must be so freaked out. Are there any leads, Jane’s questioning a potential witness as we speak?

Just when I’m starting to forget what that felt like. I can’t believe you slapped me again and I can’t believe you kissed me again. And Gwen’s not even here to witness it. So it’s not for her benefit. No, it wasn’t. It was for your benefit. For mine, I meant for our benefit wasn’t a performance. I meant it.

I, oh, no, Chloe, I just, I’ve been feeling kind of a vibe between us and I thought you were feeling it too. Was I wrong

actually, if I’m being honest, you weren’t completely off base.

So I, I wasn’t imagining it. You, you did feel a spark too, right? Maybe.

Okay. Yes. I, I did feel it. And not just tonight. Ever since you and I moved in here together, I’ve sensed that there’s, you know, something between us. Yeah. See, I’m just happy to know. I’m not going mad. You don’t seem too thrilled. It’s because I’m not Well, why is that? I mean, I mean, you said you were moving on from Brady and that that ship has sailed, so That’s true.

Brady and I don’t have a future together. What’s the problem? The problem is, ugh. I hate that I’m attracted to you.

Listen, Talia, I just want you to know that Colin’s escape has absolutely no bearing on your situation. Okay? Your bail’s been granted and you’re free to go. You just need to be very careful. Yeah. I just can’t believe all this is happening. Like what was Colin thinking? Hopefully the police will find him and they will come back.

Safe and sound. Pray to God that you’re right. Listen, I, I have to go home, but, um, do you have any questions? No, seriously, just thank you so much for all of your help. Yeah, of course. You have my number. Don’t hesitate to call me if you need anything. Okay.

Anywhere? No, not yet. So you don’t have any idea where Colin might have gone? No. I, I mean, I suppose he might be going back to New York, but then again he doesn’t have many friends there to speak up. Right. Okay. Well, you think on it, if anything comes to mind, he let me know, right? Yeah, of course. All right.

Wait, before you leave, um, I owe you an apology.

What questions do you have about my sister? Well, how are things looking for her? I do know she was arrested for being Colin Bedford’s partner in crime. She wasn’t his partner. No. From what I hear, they were regular Bonnie and Clyde, and I don’t mean Lockhart in Weston. Or maybe I do. Those who both did go to prison for killing people.

My sister didn’t kill anyone, but she did trash Paulina’s office and drug those biscuits. I wouldn’t say her hands are exactly clean in all this. Well, that’s because Colin was extremely manipulative and she was naive. She didn’t know. Well, it’s not like she didn’t have a choice. You didn’t have a gun to her head.

Well, that’s easy to say if you’re not being abused. Okay. Are you saying Talia was trapped in an abusive relationship? Can I quote you on that?

Mother, please. I’m suffering from some serious jet lag, and the last thing I need right now is to be grilled by the fourth estate jet lag to meet Tri Dira. We do jet lag. After all. This isn’t just any reporter, Ms. Rice, check risk check. Yes, that’s what I said. Is a friend of your aunt, I’m sure she doesn’t have a malicious agenda.

No. No, of course not. Honestly, I, I just want to get your story out there and there are already some quite, uh, uncharitable rumors floating about. I would just like to give you the opportunity to clear them up. Okay. Well, the thing is, I don’t give a damn what people think. So let the rumor mill churn. Are you sure that’s wise?

Would you like to just give it a thing? Thank you so much for the opportunity, but my answer is no. My son. Can we please have a private word together

if we must?

We.

Listen to me, Dimitri, you do not want to miss this golden opportunity. What do we hear, what people say about us? This is not about pr. This is about making that reporter the future. Mrs. Von Leischner.

Congratulations on your immunity deal, Kristin. Very impressive. How you managed to keep pulling rabbits out of your hat. Ah, well, I am no magician. It’s, oh, thanks to my sister this time. So you made an ally, have you? Mm-hmm. Maybe you don’t trust her. Of course not. She is a dememer. Yes, as is her son.

Obviously. He seems to be feisty. I guess that’s a word for it. Yeah. Well, I’m quite feisty myself too, if you haven’t noticed, and, uh, I’m very determined to get that interview. I’m going to do everything in my power to make that happen.

You can be serious. You want me to marry that? That rice checks woman Riz check. And you rejected my other idea. So, because I won’t marry my own aunt, now I have to marry the next stranger that walks in off the street. She’s hardly a stranger. She and your aunt were prison mates. So she’s a fall mother.

This is, this is even worse, Dolly. Her crimes are child’s play compared to what you and I have done. That is not the point. The point is, oh, wouldn’t you want me to be. In love with the person I’m going to marry. That is a luxury that we don’t have time for. If you want to inherit the enlo or forcing, you have to be married by the time you are 40, which is fast approaching.

So forget about love and go in there and convince Lois Lane to marry you as soon as possible. I’m sorry, Lois Lane, but this interview is over. Actually, I’m more of a Clark Kent. Okay, fine. Maybe I am a Lois Lane. Well, besides, don’t you want your sister’s side of the story to be told, especially since you know she was being abused?

I shouldn’t have told you that. Look, I get it. I know people don’t like talking about that stuff, but I can relate. My father was physically abusive. Well, this was more like emotional abuse. See, I can relate to that too. My mother was the queen concert of all forms of emotional manipulation in blackmail.

If you ask me or my therapist, a woman should wear a crown. Look, I, I appreciate your empathy, Leo. I do. But I can’t continue this conversation with you right now. I need to focus on finding Mayor Carver and Mr. Bedford. Sure. Of course. And I don’t mean to sound insensitive, but I do have a journalistic responsibility to print what you’ve already given me.

I understand I can’t stop you from printing what you’re going to print, but as someone who’s been abused yourself, I would hope that you would have some idea of what my sister is going through, so hopefully there’s a, a heart in there somewhere and you keep my sister’s name out of your call.

And why do you feel it’s, you owe me in apology? I don’t know. I mean, for one, you went to the hospital because of me. Hmm. And I don’t know, you just, you spent so much time and energy looking for the person responsible. And if I would’ve just said something sooner, you know, if, if minute my guilt, things wouldn’t have gotten as bad.

So I, I just wanna say that I’m, I’m really, I’m really, really sorry. Okay. I appreciate your apology. I respect you taking responsibility for your actions. I just wish I could say the same thing about Colin. Yeah. You know, all this time I thought he was the victim, you know, because of like what happened to his parents, and that’s how I kept rationalizing.

What he was asking me to do for him, but I swear, I, I swear I never thought that he was this dangerous. Okay. I, I never genuinely thought that he was gonna hurt anybody.

Well, something tells me that he hit it pretty well. Yeah. Obviously I just feel really bad that I dragged my sister into all of this. I know. This is like a really bad look for her that I’m caught up in like this huge scandal. Yeah. Well, Jada doesn’t care about that. She cares about you. She loves you. Why?

She hired the best damn lawyer that she could find. Now my advice, I wanna make things up to your sister. You do whatever the hell bell tells you to do. Okay?

Oh my God. What the heck? Howdy, howdy, howdy. Sean, you’re home. Why didn’t you tell me you were flying back? I’m sorry. It just, you know, things, uh, just all happened very quickly. Have you been drinking? Uh, yes. And if you ask me, not nearly enough,

Sean, what’s going on? Did something happen with your dad? Nope. He’s uh, Still in a coma. Nothing’s changed. It’s all quiet on the Western front. So then why are you guzzling all this beer? Um, be, that’s a good question. Let me, um, hold, let me think about that one. Um, Maybe it’s because I shot my dad and I put him in a coma.

Okay, come on Sean. Listen, I’m gonna say this to you for the umpteenth time. It was an accident and everyone knows that, and everyone has tried over and over to get you to know that, so you’ll stop torturing us. Accident or no accident Bell, my old man is hanging on by a thread, not to mention my wreck of a mom who can, who’s just doing everything that she can just to try to stay positive.

Okay. Every day goes by, I gotta sit there and I gotta see her suffering, knowing that there’s nothing that I can do to help her. In fact, you know what? I think that, I think that I just made things worse. So that’s the reason why I came home. Sean, your mom does not blame you for what happened? Yeah, maybe not consciously.

Okay. In any case, After we got my dad situated, I just felt that it was best to, to make myself scarce. Well, from what you’ve told me, he’s got a, a team of world-class doctors and, you know, maybe they’re gonna find a way to bring him back to us. I just, I hope, I hope that Megan doesn’t find out where he is at.

Oh, come, my mom, she’s, she’s got enough on her plate as it is. Uh, yeah. About Megan. Um, EJ told me that she’s actually back in Salem. Wait, what? Yeah, she’s staying at the Damir mansion.

No. No. Where are you going? Where do you think I’m going? I’m gonna go give that bitch a piece of my mind. Yes, mother. I am well aware that there is a time crunch, but I’m not turning 40 tomorrow. I’d like to, you know, explore my options. What options. You’re not seeing anyone. And the last romantic encounter you had with Billy Reid was all an act.

Am I correct? You really don’t see how crazy this is, do you? Well, maybe a little crazy is what we need in this fortuitous situation, Dimitri, that inheritance money is rightfully yours. And let me let you in on honorable secret. I have big. Plans. Plans that require significant funding. So you need to put a ring on her finger, but why this woman, mother?

I mean, I’ve only known her for two minutes. I don’t know anything about her. Well, let me bring you up to speed. She is successful, she’s smart, she’s beautiful, but she has a delightful accent. That’ll be a wonder to wake up to every morning. What more do you need to know? Oh, I don’t know off the top of my head.

Uh, do you have a priest in mind for the ceremony or maybe we go with an Elvis impersonator? Oh, and you know what be helpful is, uh, knowing whether or not the bride to be is, uh, single. I did not see anything on her finger, but nail polished. So as far as I’m concerned, she’s fair gain. Now go in there and sweep that woman off her feet.

Well, you are taking this whole reporter thing very seriously. Yes. Well, I, I think I do have quite knack for it. I think I get that from my dad. Oh yeah. It’s too bad that you couldn’t bond with him over it. I mean, considering you did steal the paper from him and my friend Jennifer, my dad and your friend Jennifer, do have another paper in Boston that they’re running and they’re just fine.

Thank you for asking. Not that you cared. So you have a knack for being a reporter. I mean, good for you. How is it working with your, uh, ex? It’s the least enjoyable part. Especially considering the fact that he’s insisted that he bring on his little bird. He must mean Chloe Lane. Mm. The boring third rate singer, which my precociously perceptive child calls the evil one.

How do you know? Well, my Precociously Sharp eye daughter, uh, told me that Chloe and Zander were playing house together. Oh. Oh. And then I saw them yesterday and uh, they were kind of cussing up together. Oh.

You know, Zander says that there’s nothing romantic going on between them, but. To be honest, I think it’s just a matter of time before they have a romp in the hay. 10. Well, selfishly, I am relieved that that human barnacle has finally detached herself from Brady. I am sorry for you. They’d have to deal with her.

Oh. But if you want, I could, um, give you some pro tips on how to disappear the love, some pitch. I mean, if that is, if you wanna get back with Sander. I really appreciate that, Kristen, but that is literally the last thing I want. Oh, I said so yes, I’ve decided that it’s time for me to hop off the Zander.

Merry go round. Since he’s not really serving me anymore, given his very fickle nature, I need to put the rate behind me and move on with my life. Maybe even find someone new.

I don’t understand. Like why would you be upset about having feelings for me? Because you are you I clears it, right? Huh? Oh, come on, Xander. Like you can’t figure it out. You left me in the clutches of a Mexican drug. Lord, you, you shot Brady. You locked Nicole in a shark cage and, and you’re the literal clown who kidnapped Susan and Bonnie.

Well, that seems all your PowerPoint presentations missing is the slides. Look, if I’m so bloody awful, why do you have feelings for me? Because I’ve, I’ve seen another side of you. I’ve been sneaking peeks at me in the shower. Have you?

No, boy, just mean I’ve seen another side of you as a human being. You know, when you confessed your remorse about Susan’s death, I could tell that you really meant it. I guess there is a little heart. In there and you’ve gone to bat for me with Gwen and getting me that job at the paper, and you’ve just, you’ve been really kind to me and ugh.

And then you go and make me this beautiful dinner.

Are you saying that you might actually like me after all clothing? Like, like, like me, Todd, help me. Well, if that’s the case, I have a suggestion. Stop fighting your feelings cause that’s always a losing battle. Put down your harpoon and just

give into what your heart desires.

Ah, this, this is a really bad idea. We, we would live together. We work together. This could get really complicated, really fast. We’d have to commit to anything, Chloe, but we just take it day by day, see where it goes. Yeah. Especially since you’re still getting over Brady. And what about you? Are you really over Sarah?

Mm-hmm. And I told you I was, look, it’s like what you were saying to me about you and Brady still have feelings for her, but I know that ship is sail. Speaking of ships, I just realized that I’ve been involved with like half of your male relatives, Brady, Phillip, Damos, Victor’s godson, Daniel, sorry. So I should learn from my past mistakes and just swear off all Kiki men since it never seems to work out.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I’m the best in the whole bunch and you’ve never been with me. Seriously, Chloe, I think we should stop overthinking this. I say we try that kiss again and this time. Don’t focus on what you should or should not feel, and then you’ll have your answer. Are you sure you wanna risk getting slapped again?

I’m willing to take my chances

at this point. Dear Reader. You probably believe you’ve heard everything there is to know about Colin Bedford and Talia Hunter’s sorted tale of revenge, but you would be mistaken for lady whistleblower. Half uncovered the latest, greatest juiciest new bombshell to date. According to Talia’s sister, detective Jada, hunter Talia has been the victim of emotional abuse inflicted upon her by Mr.

Bedford. Talk about a twisted relationship.

Select all.

Delete. Oh, I hate having a conscience. Damn you, detective. Oh my God. I am so happy that you may be, I heard about Colin, um, was Leah Stark? Give any hope. Ah, not really. When Leo ran into call and he was still wearing Officer Henshaw’s uniform. Hmm. And there was no sign of Mayor Carver. Great. So we’re back to square one.

Oh, I’m, I’m so sorry guys. Don’t, don’t worry about it. We’re not gonna stop until we find them. Yeah. I mean, is, is there anything I can do to help or, yeah. Yeah, you can go home, lock your door, and then let the police handle this. Yeah. You know Ray’s right. Colin is probably very upset with you about turning on him.

You need to be very careful, Talia. I’ll have one of my officers give you a left home. Okay? Thank you so much. Yeah, listen, if you hear anything from Colin, call me right away. Okay? Yeah.

We’re so sorry for the delay, but have wonderful news. After a brief but uplifting pow wow. My son has decided to do the interview. Isn’t that right? Mere? Yes, that is correct. But like I said, I’m pretty worn out for my travel. So if we could please schedule Liz for some other time. Yes, yes, of course.

Whatever is convenient for you. What about tomorrow? You too can have a nice chat over dinner. Um, could we perhaps make it lunch? I’m, I’m quite anxious to get this story out before the intruder descends, you know? Well, either way, we’ll gather your contact information from Kristen and we’ll send along the details.

Right. Okay. Brilliant, brilliant. Um, I look forward to hearing your story. Mr. Honner. Please call Dimitri.

I am so glad that this worked out. Something tells me that this lunch is gonna be an exciting opportunity for both of you.

Sean, no. Give me the keys. Well give you, give you my keys. What? What are you, are you the valet now or something fell. You’re in no condition to drive and confronting Megan right now is not gonna change anything. Be Listen to me. My dad. My dad is fighting for his life because of that bitch. Right. She messed with his head and she, she kept him from his family.

You think that she doesn’t deserve to, to answer for that? Of course I do, but there’s nothing that we can do right now, so just give me the keys.

You know, I suppose that as much as I’d like to, I, I, I can’t, I can’t place the blames squarely on Megan’s shoulders because, Because I’m the one that pulled the trigger.

Sean, just, why don’t you put that down and come to bed? Why? Hmm. I got two beers left, and you know what they say? No soldier left behind Sean. I really think that you’ll feel better if you get some sleep. I said, no Bell now will just leave me the hell alone.

What’s the verdict? He was nice. Nice, nice. Hmm. Now I was kind of hoping for steamy or lovely or Please. And to whisk me away to Paris. Okay. You’re gonna have to settle for Nice for now. Okay. Okay. Nice. It is. Please. I didn’t get slapped this time. That’s progress, isn’t it? No, don’t push it. Okay. Well, in the name of not pushing it, I am not gonna kiss you again, even though I really wanna, so, um, what should we do?

Any ideas?

I think that we should. Get back to that dinner.

Look, I’m, I’m sorry that I snapped at you. Okay. I’m sorry, but look, I just, I want to be left alone. Well, you’re drunk. And you’re not thinking straight, and the last thing you need is to be alone. Listen, I’m fine. I’m fine. You’ve got my keys. You know I’m not going anywhere. I’m gonna be right here. Okay. So just, just please, just go to bed.

Okay. I’ll wait up for you.

I love you.

So Kristen, do you have any ideas where Dimitri and Gwen can dine together tomorrow? Why not Should leave that one detail up to me mother. What about shenanigans? Is that place still open? No, it went under years ago. Rather fitting though. Considering what you two are plotting, whatever do you mean? Ah, my Spidey sins tell me that you believe that you found Deri here.

A wife subtlety was never my mother’s strong suit. That’s very discerning of you, Kristin. Yes. I believe that Gwen, what’s her name, will be a pseudo means to an end. Oh, how romantic quote from Wordsworth. What’s most important to me and Dimitri is that he inherits what’s rightfully his, and if it turns out to be a love match between he and this charming British woman so much, the better.

There you are. Here I am. So how did it go with z Yvonne Leischner? Did you get lost in his eyes and have trouble finding your way home? Even better. He offered to give me an exclusive interview at lunch tomorrow. You lucky double. How did you manage to score such a hot story with an even hotter hunt? Some gwenny magic, I suppose.

Meanwhile, I’m over here with Bks for my column tomorrow. Oh dear. No big scoops for Mattie. I had one, a great one. In fact, it was, but someone had to go and guilt me out of it. God, why would I say anything to that idiot? Much less that TA was in an abusive relationship. Oh, look, I, Leo Stark is relentless and provocative and.

You were obviously upset. Thanks for trying to make me feel better. But we both know that he’s going to print every word that I said. I mean, it’s, it’s Leo Stark, right? Yeah, that’s Leo Stark. Listen, if what you said ends up in his column, we’ll deal with it. Okay? Thanks. Yeah, and listen, if you wanna go be with your sister, I understand.

No, I, I’ll go later. Right now the best way to help my sister is by finding Colin and Abe. Otherwise, she can take the fall for everything that Colin made her do. Well, that is not gonna happen, I promise. Well, let’s find that bastard.

Thank you so much for sending me home officer.

God, I could use a long hot shower.

Officer Shaun.

Days of Our Lives Update

Days of Our Lives logo

Update written by Joseph

Chloe comes home where Xander is waiting with a bottle of champagne to celebrate her first day at her new job. Chloe storms in, grabs the bottle and takes a drink. Xander asks if it didn’t go well. Chloe responds that it’s all because of Gwen.

Gwen is in her room at the Salem Inn, typing up a hiring ad for the Spectator. Leo bursts in and tells Gwen that he needs her help because there’s a psycho on the loose and he has him in his sights.

Dimitri enters the DiMera Mansion, surprising Megan as they hug. Megan declares that Dimitri is now home where he belongs. Kristen remarks that another prodigal son is just what the family needed.

At the hospital, Nicole tells EJ and Eric that this is not some sick competition. Nicole complains that it’s about a child’s life, so she needs them to be kind to each other and to her. Nicole cries that it breaks her heart that something she’s been longing for so long could end painfully, so she needs them to help her through this regardless of the results and who the father is. Nicole asks if they can do that for her. Kayla comes over and announces that she has the results. Nicole asks if they can go somewhere private. Kayla says she would love to but she’s in the middle of an emergency. Eric asks if it has to do with Colin Bedford. Kayla responds that it’s a lot more than that because Abe has disappeared from his recovery room and the police think the two are connected.

Sloan is at her apartment, wondering where Colin is and what he’s up to now. Jada arrives, so Sloan questions what she wants. Jada reveals a search warrant. Sloan asks if she thinks she would be dumb enough to hide Colin in her own apartment. Jada says maybe not, but if she’s helping him then she might can find something. Sloan insists that she’s not, but questions thinking she’d be dumb enough to leave clues laying around if she was. Sloan remarks that the police department might be better off hiring officers that aren’t so easily overpowered by a guy who just fell off a roof. Jada tells Sloan that the mayor is missing and demands that she tell her now if she knows anything, warning that things will not go well for her or brother otherwise.

Gwen asks Leo to be more specific. Leo tells her that it’s Colin Bedford. Gwen thinks that makes no sense and that he’s being paranoid as she asks why Colin is out to get him. Leo explains that he lost his phone, so he flagged down a cop to help but it turned out to be Colin. Gwen questions Colin posing as a cop. Leo adds that now Colin knows that he knows, so he worries about Colin showing up at the door.

Megan asks Dimitri what took him so long to show up. Dimitri responds that the US Government were less than thrilled to grant them immunity so they made sure to make his customs process arduous. Megan is just glad he’s here now, where he belongs. Megan asks Dimitri if he remembers his aunt Kristen. Dimitri asks how he could forget, recalling the last time he saw Kristen in Amsterdam where she pointed a gun at his crotch. Kristen points out that she didn’t know he was her nephew at the time and thought he was just a pesky ISA agent with Billie Reed. Megan suggests letting bygones be bygones, especially if they are going to be married which Kristen and Dimitri both question.

Xander doesn’t get why Chloe would quit her job at the newspaper and asks what Gwen did. Chloe explains that Gwen rolled out the unwelcome mat in so many awful ways that she lost count. Chloe tells Xander that Gwen tried to make her office be a broom closet and then she was texting her every 45 minutes with an unreachable sales goal, setting her up to fail. Chloe knows Xander stuck his neck out for her to get the job but she won’t take that treatment from anyone. Xander apologizes as he had no idea that Gwen would treat her like this. Chloe understands that he tried. Xander responds that the problem is Chloe did not try and asks her not to quit yet. Xander points out that if Chloe quits, Gwen wins.

Gwen tells Leo that no one is coming to murder him. Leo complains that he’s not as optimistic. Gwen argues that Colin is on the run from the police, so Leo is the least of his problems. Leo worries that Colin thinks he might talk to the police and complains that Colin is legit scary. Leo talks about how hot Colin is as well. Gwen encourages that he has nothing to worry about and suggests he focus on something else, like his next column. Leo insists that he’s not writing about Colin since that’s what got him riled up in the first place. Gwen informs Leo that she actually needs him to find some dirt on somebody else.

Dimitri questions Megan already trying to marry him off and to his aunt at that. Kristen questions making this outrageous suggestion without consulting her first. Megan responds that she was confident they would go along with it, noting that they are not related by blood and it’s hardly breaking ground for the DiMeras. Megan brings up Kristen marrying Tony because it was Stefano’s wish and she saw the wisdom in it. Megan toasts to their upcoming marriage.

Sloan asks Jada about conflict of interest, since she has family mixed up in this as well. Jada argues that Talia would have had nothing to do with this if it wasn’t for Colin. Sloan points out that Talia was the one actually committing the crimes that Colin is accused of. Sloan tells Jada to finish up her search and get out already, remarking that she has enough on her mind with her boyfriend’s ex being pregnant which catches Jada’s attention. Sloan asks if Jada didn’t know and then informs her that Nicole is knocked up and the baby might be Eric’s.

Eric asks if Nicole is okay. Nicole worries about Abe. EJ encourages that they will find him and offers to volunteer a security team to help the search. Nicole asks if there are any leads. Kayla says not yet but she needs to get to her office for an update. Kayla says she’s sorry she can’t stay but she’ll be around if she needs her as she hugs Nicole. Nicole thanks Kayla for bringing the test. Kayla then walks away, leaving Nicole in between EJ and Eric with the test results.

Gwen shows Leo a photo of Dimitri, who he recognizes. Gwen explains that Dimitri is not only free, but has deep roots in Salem and reveals that he’s a Dimitri as he’s Megan Hathaway’s son. Gwen adds that Dimitri’s plane has just landed in Salem, so she wants Leo to find out why he’s here and what he wants. Leo responds that it sounds great but she’ll have to get someone else to cover it because he’s already got one psycho after him and doesn’t need another.

Dimitri tells Megan that he understands he and Kristen are not blood related but they are also not a good match and brings up their age difference. Megan thinks they could be highly compatible if they gave it a shot as they are both charming and charismatic. Megan suggests Dimitri proposes for practical reasons. Kristen asks for an explanation. Megan reveals that she recently found out there is a sizable amount of Von Leuschner that Dimitri is in line to collect, but there are strings as it specifies that Dimitri must be married before he’s 40 and he’s now 39. Dimitri questions why he’s never heard of this trust. Megan says she hasn’t either until now because some members of his extended family are hoping he won’t make the deadline, but the money is his if he acts. Dimitri asks how much money they are talking. Megan calls it more than enough to kickstart their plans as she and Kristen want to take over the world and she assumes that Dimitri is in.

Jada questions Sloan about Eric and Nicole, arguing that they aren’t even seeing each other and Nicole is with EJ now. Sloan confirms that but remarks that if Nicole is pregnant with Eric’s baby then Jada can blame her sister for that. Jada questions what Talia has to do with it. Sloan explains that Eric and Nicole had the drugged biscuits and while under the influence, they forgot all about her, EJ, and birth control. Jada calls that unfortunate for everyone involved. Sloan says it must bring up painful memories for Jada too since she and Eric would still be together if she hadn’t gotten that abortion and they could be singing to their baby but instead, Eric might finally get to be a father, just with someone else.

Eric tells Nicole that if she wants to wait on the test results until there’s an update on Abe, he will understand. EJ tells Eric to can the fake sympathy as he wants answers just as bad as he does. EJ feels it’s better to get it over with now and then once they have the answer, Nicole can focus on bringing Abe home. Eric questions if it is all about Abe while EJ asks if Nicole is tired of Eric buzzing around. Nicole stops them and asks them to just let her do this. Nicole then opens the envelope and reads the test results. EJ asks what it says. Nicole announces that Eric is not a match. EJ excitedly declares that he knew the child was his and calls it a miracle as he kisses Nicole. Eric congratulates them. EJ tells Eric that he’s sure it stings a bit but in the long run, it’s best for everyone involved as they don’t have to go through the awkwardness of Eric and Nicole raising a baby while Nicole is with him and Sloan is spared the pain of Eric raising a child with another woman. EJ feels that everyone is a winner today. Eric guesses that’s it and wishes them the best of luck with everything. Nicole thanks Eric as he then walks away. EJ excitedly hugs Nicole and calls this a gift that changes everything. Eric slowly exits through the elevator.

Sloan tells Jada that she told her she wouldn’t find anything. Sloan suggests if Jada wants to grill somebody, she can go see Leo Stark. Jada asks why she would do that. Sloan reveals that Leo said he ran in to Colin earlier today. Jada questions why she didn’t tell her that when she got there. Sloan responds that it’s not her job to help Jada do her job. Jada argues that Sloan withheld vital information in an ongoing case. Sloan tells Jada to go ahead if she wants to arrest her for being an accessory because she would love nothing more than to sue for false arrest. Jada warns that Sloan is not off the hook yet as she then walks out of the apartment.

Xander tells Chloe that he knows Gwen can be difficult at times, but asks her not to close the door on this opportunity. Xander encourages that Gwen is only bullying her because she didn’t get her way. Xander knows Chloe can overcome this. Chloe acknowledges standing up to bullies since high school. Xander says the only way to beat a bully is to prove they won’t break her. Xander tells Chloe that he’ll be there and needs Chloe to fight. Chloe says maybe she doesn’t want to fight and she’s just tired. Xander encourages that it’s only been one day. Chloe feels it will be this way every day and asks why she should subject herself to that. Xander asks her to do it for him. Xander explains that he and Gwen are locked in a battle of wills, so if Chloe leaves, he’ll be on his own against her. Chloe points out that Xander used to love Gwen. Xander says now Gwen lives to antagonize him, so if Chloe leaves, she will use that as proof that he was wrong and it will be one battle after another. Xander jokes that it will also turn him in to a miserable roommate. Chloe then agrees to stay at the job and give it another try. Xander promises that she won’t regret it. Chloe suggests pouring them some of the champagne now. Xander offers to go out instead and get whatever she wants. Chloe says she’d rather stay in, put her feet up, and watch a movie so she asks if they can just order in. Xander says absolutely not since she is sacrificing herself for his sanity, so she deserves better. Xander declares that he will prepare a feast. Xander then pours champagne to toast to Chloe’s ultimate victory and Gwen’s inevitable defeat.

Gwen can’t believe Leo would pass on such a juicy story. Leo reminds her that he’s the one who switched the emerald on the Alamanian Peacock, preventing Dimitri’s plan to take over the world. Gwen thinks their history makes Leo perfect for the job. Leo feels Dimitri probably wants him dead for foiling his plans and repeats that he doesn’t need another psycho wanting his head on the wall. Gwen decides she’ll have to find somebody else then to cover the greatest and largest story of the year. Gwen brings up a Pulitzer prize and possible book deal coming out of it. Gwen says it has all the elements of a breakaway hit and imagines it could be a 7 figure deal. Gwen says she understands his trepidation and doesn’t want him to put himself in any danger. Leo starts to express interest but still says no, asking what good all that money would be if he’s too dead to spend it, so he tells Gwen to find someone else to cover it. Gwen decides if you want something done, you have to do it yourself. Gwen declares that she will write the article and if something comes of it, she won’t share any of it with him. Gwen jokes with Leo to lock the door because he never knows who might be coming. Gwen then exits and Leo rushes to lock the door.

Kristen questions Megan’s plan to finance their mutual ambitions. Megan explains that if they keep it in the family, they can get the money quickly and save time trying to find Dimitri a suitable partner while not having the risk of it turning out to be a gold digger. Megan declares that opportunity is knocking and they must answer.

Eric goes to Sloan’s apartment and asks if there’s any news on Colin. Sloan says no but he did just miss Jada and her search warrant which was a complete waste of time since she didn’t find anything. Eric asks if she heard about Abe. Sloan confirms she has but says that Colin is desperate though not a monster or stupid enough to put a target on his back like that. Sloan asks how Eric heard about it and if it’s on the news. Eric says no and explains that he was at the hospital when Kayla told him. Sloan asks what he was doing at the hospital. Eric informs her that Nicole got the results back from the DNA test and he’s not there. Eric tells Sloan that she doesn’t have to pretend she’s not happy. Sloan can’t deny that’s what she was hoping to hear, but she knows how much he wanted to be a father and she can see that he’s hurting. Eric decides it’s not the right time and guesses that’s probably for the best.

EJ excitedly tells Nicole that it’s truly happening that they are having a baby together. EJ says he felt all along that it was his baby as they kiss. EJ asks Nicole if they are to share the news or keep it to themselves. Nicole thinks they should wait. EJ asks if she’s worried about her history. Nicole doesn’t want to be negative but also doesn’t want to forget there’s a really good chance that she can’t carry the baby to term. EJ understands that she’s dealt with this disappointment twice before but encourages her not to let the past dictate the future. EJ declares that the first step is getting her the best care possible and there is no time to waste as they walk off together.

Xander cooks egg sandwiches for he and Chloe. Xander encourages her to try it and she admits it’s really good. Xander says it pairs nicely with the champagne. Xander talks about Scottish people inventing things which Chloe jokes with him about. Xander then kisses Chloe.

Megan talks to Dimitri and Kristen about their wedding. Dimitri admits that Megan has thought this all through but says his answer is no. Megan asks Kristen to make the right choice and persuade Dimitri that this is the best choice they have. Kristen says she has to agree with Dimitri as she is preparing for a custody fight and showing up with her nephew on her arm won’t win her brownie points with the judge. Megan calls them pathetic. Dimitri says there are plenty of fish in the sea. Megan feels most of them are not suitable for him to marry. Megan declares that if they are not keeping it in the family, they have to find someone very special for him to marry. Gwen then walks in and says she’s looking for Dimitri.

Leo remains looking at Dimitri’s photo and says maybe it wouldn’t be so bad to get up close and personal with that. Leo wishes Dimitri was homosexual instead of homicidal. There’s then a knock at the door which startles Leo, causing him to worry that it’s the other homicidal maniac but it’s Jada. Leo asks what he can do for her. Jada says she understands that he had a run in with Colin Bedford. Leo confirms that he did and says it was just brief small talk. Leo swears that he doesn’t know anything. Jada thinks he does and demands him tell everything about his encounter from start to finish, unless he’d like to spend the night in a jail cell.

Kayla is on the phone in her office, saying she will put out a statement about Colin’s possible involvement in Abe’s disappearance in about an hour and says to send any press inquiries to the administrator’s office. She hangs up as EJ and Nicole enter. EJ informs Kayla that they are both doing very well after getting the news they were hoping for. Kayla says she’s glad that is the case and asks how she can help. Nicole admits they are concerned about her medical history and if she can carry the baby to term since the scar tissue on her uterus has created issues. Kayla knows she’s had her struggles. EJ wonders if there has been advances in technology or anything that will improve their chances. Kayla says she’s not a fertility doctor but she can give them a referral. EJ says they will remain optimistic. Kayla says she has to go make a statement to the board about the Abe situation but she wants to talk to Nicole and she will get them the number to the specialist. Kayla adds that she is in their corner as she exits. EJ promises Nicole that he will move Heaven and Earth to get them a successful outcome and that she will bring their baby to term. Nicole agrees to pray for that. EJ tells Nicole that he loves her and kisses her.

Sloan tells Eric that she hates seeing him in pain. Eric appreciates her saying that. Eric says he’s happy being here with her and looks forward to their future together. Eric tells Sloan that he loves her. Sloan responds that she loves him as they hug. Sloan then thinks back to the night of the cheek swab, revealing that she told herself she couldn’t risk losing Eric to Nicole if the baby is his, so she used the cheek swab on herself and not Eric which caused the DNA test to not be a match. Sloan then tells Eric that he’s all she ever wanted.

Update written by Joseph

Steve returns home from Greece while on the phone with Hope. Steve asks about Bo and the new rehab facility. Steve tells Hope that if she needs anything, to just let him know and he’ll take care of it. Steve tells her not to worry about Megan Hathaway because there’s no way she’s going to find her. Steve says he and Kayla are praying for Bo and are there in spirit. Steve says they’ll talk soon as they hang up. Steve then answers his door to see Harris Michaels has arrived.

Megan joins Kristen in the living room of the DiMera Mansion. Megan pours a drink as Kristen talks about taking the edge off. Stefan and Gabi walk in. Stefan says he’d love a celebratory drink. Megan and Kristen question what this is all about as Gabi shuts the doors and says they’d prefer the servants don’t overhear. Stefan then announces they are plotting the demise of EJ.

Nicole joins EJ in his bedroom. They kiss and say they missed each other. EJ says he just got back awhile ago and he looked all over for her but he couldn’t find her, so he questions where she has been. Nicole reveals that she left the office early to go to the hospital. EJ asks if everything is alright.

At the Brady Pub, Eric informs Marlena that Nicole is pregnant and the baby could be his. Eric adds that Nicole is at the hospital now, getting a paternity test so they are going to find out if he’s the father.

Nicole tells EJ that everything is alright. EJ asks why she was at the hospital. Nicole reveals that she was giving Kayla a blood sample. EJ assumes it’s because of her menopause treatment but Nicole admits that she’s not entering menopause. EJ doesn’t understand how Kayla could make such an error. Nicole reveals that she lied to EJ. Nicole then announces that she missed her period, not because of menopause, but because she’s pregnant.

Steve questions what Harris is doing there. Harris asks if he can come in, which Steve reluctantly allows. Steve tells Harris that he can save the explanation because Shawn already told him that Harris was following them to Salem to keep an eye on Megan, but there are a lot of people already doing that job including he and John, who are private investigators, qualified to keep an eye on people. Steve tells Harris that his help is not needed here and he’d just be one more person that he doesn’t trust to keep an eye on. Steve declares that if Harris really wants to help, he’ll turn around and leave Salem.

Megan questions Stefan proposing the demise of EJ. Stefan clarifies that it’s not literal but more of a consequential fall from grace. Kristen guesses they need their help to oust EJ from DiMera Enterprises. Megan asks what’s in it for them. Gabi responds that they will both play major, noteworthy roles in the company’s future. Gabi says they have ideas to share and hands them each a paper.

Marlena tells Eric that now it all makes sense why Nicole lied about their being a viral outbreak in the hospital as the cheek swabs were not for the virus, but to help determine paternity. Eric agrees that sums it up. Marlena asks how Sloan found out. Eric informs her that Sloan saw Nicole’s pre natal vitamins at the hospital and then Nicole begged Sloan not to tell anyone. Eric adds that Sloan agreed to help Nicole find out the paternity. Marlena questions if Nicole was ever going to tell him the truth. Eric explains that Nicole was hoping to get the results of the paternity test before saying anything to he or EJ. Marlena is surprised to learn that EJ didn’t know Nicole was pregnant either.

EJ is shocked to learn that Nicole is pregnant and says he doesn’t understand why she wouldn’t tell him, but then EJ stops and guesses the baby is not his.

Harris acknowledges that Steve has every reason not to trust him and that’s why he was his first stop in Salem which Steve calls an interesting choice. Harris tells Steve that he respects him but says he’s not going anywhere and thinks he can be a help here. Harris brings up that he’s from Salem and went to high school here, so it’s the closest thing he has to home. Harris adds that they are on the same side but they don’t have to be friends. Harris asks if they can put aside their differences to work together to make sure Megan doesn’t hurt Hope again. Harris offers a handshake to Steve.

Stefan explains that once they vote EJ out, Megan and Kristen will both take on very prominent roles with the company. Kristen calls the details vague as Gabi says they want them to be free to do what they want in the company. Megan worries that the 30 year gap in her resume might make the board think it’s nepotism. Gabi and Stefan call them both miracle workers that have brought people back from the dead. Megan asks if it’s not just because they need their votes. Stefan admits there is that but puts over their determination and ruthlessness. Kristen asks if they just want them to do the dirty work, but Gabi says that’s not what they are saying at all. Stefan encourages them to read the proposal and see what happens. Megan agrees to take it under advisement. Stefan says they will see them later as he and Gabi exit the room. Kristen asks what Megan makes of this. Megan takes the proposal and tosses it in to the fireplace, asking Kristen if she has a match.

EJ asks Nicole if her baby is his. Nicole admits that she does not know. EJ says that’s because it might be Eric’s. EJ goes over how Nicole didn’t tell him about sleeping with Eric, then apologized and swore she would never lie to him again, only to go to great lengths to not tell him that she’s pregnant. Nicole apologizes and says she would’ve told him sooner, but she couldn’t get a paternity test until she was 7 weeks along and she didn’t want him to hear the news like this. EJ questions why he is hearing it now then. Nicole reveals it’s because Eric found out.

Eric tells Marlena that Sloan is hoping the baby isn’t his since they are in a relationship. Marlena asks how Eric feels about all of this. Eric calls it so sudden, that he hasn’t had time to process it. Eric adds that they don’t even know if the baby is his, if Nicole can carry the baby to term, or how EJ will react to finding out if he’s not the father. Eric calls the situation complicated. Marlena states that they know how EJ would react, but points out that Eric didn’t answer her question. Marlena asks Eric again how he feels about the idea of Nicole carrying his child. Eric admits that part of him is hoping the baby is his.

Before Steve can answer Harris, Kayla comes home. Kayla greets him and notes that he didn’t tell her that he was coming home as he hugs her. Steve says he wanted to surprise her. Steve informs Kayla that Harris was just telling him that he is moving back to Salem and wants to help keep an eye on Megan Hathaway, but he told him that they have enough cops, detectives, and spies in the family. Kayla responds that she thinks they could use all the help they could get.

Eric tells Marlena that it feels wrong saying he wants the baby to be his. Marlena feels there’s no right or wrong as this is about his feelings and he has to respect those, especially after what happened with Jada. Eric feels he shouldn’t be thinking it and says the last thing Sloan needs to hear after everything with her brother is that he’s having a baby with another woman. Marlena points out that it’s not just another woman, but a woman that he still has some feelings for.

EJ can’t believe he didn’t realize what was going on sooner. EJ says that’s why Nicole didn’t drink champagne, why she said his proposal didn’t feel like the right timing, and why she couldn’t say she loved him. Nicole cries that she felt guilty for not telling him the truth while EJ argues that she might be carrying another man’s baby. EJ states that Nicole wants to keep her options open because she wouldn’t want to be with him if Eric is the father, asking if she would want Eric back.

Stefan massages Gabi’s feet in their bedroom. Stefan talks about how they have to come up with something for Megan and Kristen to do that keeps them feeling useful but also keeps them out of their way. Gabi feels that Megan is lukewarm about the proposal and will be tough to crack. Gabi says that Kristen is too focused on getting her family back together while Megan is too obsessed with someone that’s in a coma to run things. Stefan talks about how the board would question Megan just walking in to run things while encouraging that Gabi will be the best CEO. Stefan declares that they have the backing of management so there is no way in hell that Megan will be running anything. Gabi worries about Megan having an ego and wanting world domination.

Megan asks Kristen if she really thinks they are going to put their leverage behind measly jobs at Gabi Chic which she calls a waste of considerable talent. Kristen agrees that they should be running DiMera, not their baby brothers and certainly not Gabi. Megan states that her ambitions extend far beyond running DiMera. Megan declares that she deserves so much more. Kristen asks her to be more specific. Megan states that Stefan was a grand puppet master and the whole world feared him. Megan says all of his other offspring have had their shot at emulating him, so now it’s her turn. Kristen questions Megan wanting to be her father’s daughter. Megan responds that she is her father’s daughter. Megan declares that just like the Phoenix, Megan DiMera is rising again.

Stefan tells Gabi that Megan doesn’t hold a candle to her as they kiss. They talk about how they can’t wait to get married and how lucky they are. Stefan encourages that they can have it all as Salem’s power couple. Stefan declares they are unstoppable as a team as they continue kissing in bed.

Kristen asks if Megan is aspiring to take over the world. Megan feels she’s not being delusional as she is dead serious. Megan says she will start with Salem. Kristen calls that a very expensive undertaking and she doesn’t hold the purse strings to DiMera like Stefano did. Megan responds that she won’t be needing DiMera money because she has another plan.

Kayla tells Steve about Abe missing and the psychopath that attacked him has escaped police custody and is out there somewhere, impersonating a cop. Steve asks if Colin took Abe. Kayla says that’s the theory as they have nothing else to go on. Steve asks what he can do to help. Kayla thinks they need more man power as Jada is being pulled in all different directions because her sister was arrested for being in cahoots with Colin. Kayla says that Abe is relatively stable, but he had a serious head injury so she worries he won’t get the care he needs. Steve encourages Kayla to eat but Kayla says she just came to pick up a few things as she needs to get back to the hospital to brief the board. Kayla gets a text that the test results that she’s been waiting on are in. Steve asks if she’s okay. Kayla responds that she will be now that he’s back and kisses him.

Eric tells Marlena that he told Sloan that he loves her. Marlena feels he wouldn’t say it if he didn’t mean it. Eric assures that he did mean it in the moment. Marlena suggests maybe he didn’t mean an undying kind of love. Marlena talks about knowing how much Eric wants a family and encourages that he’ll be a spectacular father. Marlena asks if Eric wants to raise the baby with Nicole, while she’s still with EJ, or if he’s thinking the two of them could reunite and raise the baby together.

Nicole tells EJ that this is not about her wanting to go back to Eric or keeping her options open. EJ questions what it is about then. Nicole responds that she was desperately hoping to tell him that they were having a baby together, so he wouldn’t have to deal with the uncertainty and anxiety that has consumed her for the last few weeks, especially since there’s a good chance she won’t be able to carry the pregnancy to term. EJ asks if she’s spoken to a doctor yet and encourages that there have been medical advances since she was last pregnant. Nicole says she hasn’t made an appointment with a specialist because she’s been taking everything one step at a time. EJ asks how Eric found out. Nicole explains that Sloan told him as she found out by accident. EJ then questions who else knew before he did. Nicole admits that she confided in Anna, who accidentally told Tony. EJ complains that he feels like such a fool. Nicole argues that it was only going to be one more day because she had the test run and they will find out soon. EJ asks how that’s possible without a sample from he and Eric. Nicole informs him that they only needed one of them and admits that she was going to swab his cheek while he was sleeping but he went out of town, so Sloan got one from Eric. Nicole then gets a call from Kayla, who informs her that she has her test results.

Stefan and Gabi lay in bed together. Gabi says she wants to be in bed with him all day on their honeymoon. Stefan asks how long it will take to plan the wedding of her dreams because he’s already waited four years. Gabi asks if he thinks they could afford to get away from DiMera right now. Stefan admits that taking over DiMera is important to him, but marrying her is everything and most important. Gabi points out that they don’t even have the divorce decree yet. Stefan encourages that could happen any day now, but questions why he feels like Gabi is looking for reasons to put off the wedding.

Kristen asks Megan what her get rich quick scheme is. Megan responds that she will find out soon enough. Kristen asks if she doesn’t trust her. Megan says that Kristen will have all the details when the time is right, but she wants to make sure everything is in place first for when Bo regains consciousness. Megan states that Stefano called Marlena his queen of the night and now Bo will be her’s. Kristen stops her and questions what her role is in all of this. Megan assures that it will be a vital one. Megan argues that they both know that Kristen won’t have the time to dedicate to this project like she does due to having a young child, but insists that she very much needs her as she is paramount to all of this. Kristen declares that she will not be sidelined and she’s going to want something from Megan in return.

Nicole asks Kayla if they can meet now. Kayla says she will see her at the hospital. EJ questions not giving the results over the phone. Nicole asks EJ to come with her to hear the results when she does. Nicole says she’s been agonizing over this for weeks and now that EJ finally knows, she hoped they could go through it together no matter what. EJ knows he’s been harsh with her over this but assures that nothing would make him happier than having a child with her. Nicole thanks him and says that means so much to her. EJ asks if they should go, but Nicole says there’s one thing she has to do first.

Eric asks Marlena what the point is of all these hypothetical questions since it won’t mean anything if he’s not the baby’s father. Marlena disagrees and thinks he needs to be honest about his feelings, regardless of the test. Marlena adds that if Eric still harbors idea of he and Nicole getting back together, he needs to look at that. Eric then gets a text from Nicole, asking him to meet her at the hospital. Eric guesses this is the moment of truth.

Gabi assures Stefan that she wants to marry him as soon as possible, but guesses she’s a little gun shy after her last marriage turned in to a farce. Stefan promises this time will be perfect and that he’s grateful every day for this second chance. Gabi brings up that their first wedding was on July 31 so if they do that again, they’ll only have one anniversary to remember. Stefan points out that’s only 8 weeks away and asks if she’s sure that will be enough time. Gabi declares that she will make it an event to remember and for all the right reasons this time.

Megan asks Kristen what her one condition is. Kristen brings up Brady having full custody of Rachel and keeping her away from her at all costs. Kristen says she’s asked several lawyers to revisit the case but they all refused and she’s tired of hearing no. Kristen wants Megan’s nefarious plans to include her getting full custody of Rachel for good this time. Megan calls that pedestrian and asks if she considered kidnapping. Kristen brings up that Megan has moved heaven and earth to be with her son. Megan admits she’s concerned about Dimitri since he was meant to come straight back to Salem after their immunity deal, but she hasn’t heard from him. Megan notes that if Dimitri doesn’t want to be found, he won’t be, and she knows that the Alamain family are desperate to get him back in custody. Dimitri then walks in and announces that her son is right here.

Steve tells Harris that it’s like all the villains decided to cause trouble at the same time. Steve adds that he doesn’t have any more time for Harris as he has to get a hold of John, so they can get out there and find Abe. Harris says he’d really like to help if he can. Steve thanks him but says they are good. Harris asks if he’s sure, questioning who can keep an eye on Megan 24/7 while they are out looking for Abe. Steve assures that they’ve got this so Harris says he hears the message and agrees to go. Harris tells Steve that if he changes his mind, his offer still stands, as he then exits.

Nicole and EJ are at the hospital. Nicole questions if EJ is alright as he paces. EJ complains about not understanding why Nicole felt the need to summon Eric. Nicole explains that she promised to tell him when the results came in and she wants to do this one time to have it over with. Eric then arrives at the hospital. Nicole informs him that Kayla will be meeting them soon. EJ comments on Eric only having sex with Nicole one time recently while he and Nicole are living together and enjoying each other. Nicole yells at EJ to stop and says this is not some sick competition. Nicole complains that it’s about a child’s life, so she needs them to be kind to each other and to her. Nicole cries that it breaks her heart that something she’s been longing for so long could end painfully, so she needs them to help her through this regardless of the results and who the father is. Nicole asks if they can do that for her.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Well, I did try to catch a few winks here and there, but the guy sitting next to me was a real chatter box. Yeah. No, actually I just, uh, walked in the door. Hey, how’s Bo doing? You too. Settled into that new rehab facility. Oh, that’s good. Good. And hope. Remember, if you need anything at all, you just let me know and I’ll take care of it, okay?

No, no. Don’t worry about Megan Hathaway. There’s no way she’s gonna find you. Okay? Uh, listen, I gotta run, but just know that Kayla and I are praying for Bo and we’re there with all of you in spirit. Okay? Okay, baby. I’ll talk to you soon. Love you too.

Well, look who’s here. Commander Michaels.

Well, it looks like it’s five o’clock somewhere and that somewhere is here. This, Megan, I know that you spent the last God note how many years off the grid and then in Statesville that a girl’s gotta take the edge off somehow. You wanna join me for a tip? Who love a celebratory drink? Two fingers neat, please.

And. What exactly are we celebrating? What is this all about? We just refer the servants didn’t. Over here.

Over here, well, plotting the demise of our dear brother ej.

Now you are darling.

I missed you.

Two. When did you get back? Oh, a little while ago. I looked all over for you, but I couldn’t find you. Where have you been? I found the office and they said you weren’t there. I, um, I left the office early to go to the hospital. The hospital, Nicole, is everything. All right?

So Nicole told you she’s pregnant and the child might be yours. Actually, Sloan did. It’s a long story, but Nicole just confirmed she’s at the hospital running a paternity test as we speak. Hey, we’re gonna find out. I’m the father. Everything is all right. Yes. But you were at the hospital. Why? I was giving Kayla a blood sample.

To follow up on the perimenopause treatment? No. Ej, I’m not entering into menopause. Oh, well then I, I don’t understand. How could Kayla make such an error? She didn’t. I lied to you. What? I, I, I didn’t miss my period because I’m going into menopause. I miss my period because. I am pregnant,

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

What are you doing here? Michaels? Is it all right if I come in?

Thank you. So listen, um, here’s no, no, no. Here’s the reason. You can save the explanation. Sean already told me that you were planning to follow us to Salem, so you could keep an eye on Megan Hathaway. Uh, yes, that’s true. So, well, the thing is, there are a whole lot of people already doing that job. John, me, you know, we’re PIs, we’re qualified to keep an eye on people.

So your help is not needed here. Just give me one more person that I don’t trust that I have to keep my eye on. If you really want to help you turn around and get outta Salem.

The demise of each. A Dara, well, not literally. Yeah, sorry to get your hopes up. Think of it more as a, uh, Consequential fall from Grace. Mm. So you too need our help in ousting, our brother from Dera Enterprises. I think that the reasonable question here is what’s in it for us. Well, we expected you to ask that, so we are in full agreement that you both will play major and noteworthy roles in the company’s future.

In fact, we have a couple of ideas we’d like to share. Oh,

well now it all makes sense. What? It makes sense why Nicole lied about there being a viral outbreak at the hospital on the 10th floor. Those cheek swabs were not for the virus they were to help determine paternity.

Yeah, that pretty much sums it up. Hmm. How does Sloan find out? She saw Nicole’s prenatal vitamins. Apparently she dropped them when she ran into the Sloan at the hospital. Nicole begged her slow, not to say a word. I mean, she knew that Nicole and I,

Sloan was hoping the baby wasn’t mine. So she agreed to help Nicole get a DNA swab without me knowing about it. Hmm. Wasn’t Nicole ever gonna tell you the truth? She was kind of hoping that she would get the results of the paternity test before she said anything to EJ or me. So EJ doesn’t know that the Nicole’s pregnant As far as I know, ejs still in the dark.

Oh my God. Nicole, you are pregnant. Yes. Well, I, I, I, I don’t understand. Why wouldn’t you tell me that you’re having my,

because it’s not mine, is it?

You have every reason not to trust me. I know that. That’s why you were my first stop in Salem. Interesting choice for first stop. Well, Steve, I respect you. I do. But I’m not going anywhere. I’ve said my . I’ve helped you guys find Kate. I think I can be useful here. I mean, I’m from Salem. I went to Salem High.

This place is, it’s the closest thing I know to home. And we’re on the same side. Like we don’t, we don’t have to be friends, but I think we can put aside our differences work together to make sure Megan does not hurt hope again, can’t we?

So as you can see, once we vote EJ out, you’ll both take on very prominent roles at the company. Details are a little vague to me. Well, we want you to have the agency to choose whatever peaks your interest the most. You know, I’m just concerned that the um, 30 year employment gap on my resume. Might be of some concern to the board.

It smacks a bit of nepotism. No, even So didn’t you bring back four people from the dead? I mean, not a skillset everyone can brag about. No. Oh, I think I brought back a few more than that, which is precisely why we need both of you, your miracle workers. You too. Oh, so then it’s not because you need our votes.

Well, there is that too. But your determination in your ruthlessness, no, no bounds. You’re also very skilled at coloring outside the lines. Oh, I get it. So while you’re skimming through a chicken soup for the shareholder’s soul sheen, I’ll be doing the dirty work. No, that’s not what we’re saying at all.

Listen, take a look. Read the proposal, offer your input. We’ll see what happens. We’ll take it under advisement. All right, for killing me. Get you. Maybe we’ll see you ladies later for night cap. Oh, we’ll be here.

So what do you make of this?

Got a match? Is it Nicole? Is it my baby or Carrie?

I don’t know if it is or not,

because it might be Eric’s,

so first you don’t tell me that you slept with Eric during. Biscuit gate and then after apologizing profusely assuring me that you would never lie to me again. You didn’t tell me that you were pregnant. In fact, you went to great lengths to concoct in alternate reality. I’m, I’m so sorry I would’ve told you sooner, but I, I, I couldn’t get a paternity test until I was seven weeks along.

And I didn’t want you to hear the news the way you’re hearing the news now. So why am I hearing it now?

Because he, Eric found out

you said Sloan is hoping this baby isn’t yours. Yeah. I mean, of course we’re in a committed relationship. Mm-hmm. And what about you? What do you mean about me? How do you feel about all this?

On the news, it’s all of a sudden, I, I just haven’t even had time to process this. I mean, we don’t even know if the baby’s mine or if Nicole can even carry the pregnancy to term and ej, my God, how is he gonna respond if he finds out he’s not the father? It’s just, it’s just a complicated situation. I mean, obviously, Yes.

Well, it certainly is complicated and we do know how EJ would react, but you didn’t answer my question. How do you feel about the idea of a call carrying your child?

I’m being honest with myself.

I guess a part of me is hoping that that baby’s mine.

Alright, well soon you get the test results back. Let me know. Okay. Hey, hey. Sweet mess. Come here. You tell me you were coming back today. I know I wanted to surprise you. Hello, Kayla. Hello Harris. Uh, commander Michaels here was just telling me that he’s moving back to Salem. And he wants to help keep an eye on Megan Hathaway.

Huh? But I told him that we’re good. We have more than enough cops and detectives and spies in the family. Actually, I think we need all the help we can get.

It just feels wrong saying that, and I want this baby to be mine. I wasn’t no right or wrong about that. This is about your feelings. You gotta respect those, especially after what happened with Jada. Now, I just shouldn’t be thinking it.

I’ve been Sloan, everything that she’s been through with her brother, this is the last thing that she needs to hear. That I’m having a baby with another woman. Well, it’s not exactly another woman, it’s a woman pro. You still have some feelings. Am I right?

I, I, I can’t believe I didn’t realize what was going on sooner. That’s why you didn’t drink any champagne. That’s why when I got down on one knee and asked you to be my wife, you looked at me and said The timing was bad. I told you I loved you, and you couldn’t even say back. I felt guilty for not telling you the truth, not to mention that you knew you might be carrying another man’s baby.

You want to keep your options open. Keep my options open in case Eric is the father. Then the last thing you would want is to be betrothed to me. No, that is not because you would want him back. Wouldn’t you?

All right. You ready for the finishing touch? Uh, the finishing touch? Yeah. Is it less intense than that toe bending thing you were doing? All right. So you gently, you take the left side of the foot and pull. Why you take the right side and push and twist. Oh, that feels there. It’s amazing. I needed that. Oh, nothing better than that.

You know, I’ve been thinking. If Megan can cure disease and raise the dead, do you think that there’s a way she could invent some sort of comfortable stiletto technology for Gabby Sheik? Oh, if only, I mean, we’ve tried everything under the sun, right? Only we can offer a foot massage with every purchase.

Maybe that was nice. That’s not a bad idea, but seriously, we’ve gotta come up with some sort of idea, something for those two women to do that both helps ’em feeling useful and keeps ’em out of our way. You know, I gotta say, I feel like Megan was kinda lukewarm about her proposal. I think she’s gonna be a tough nut to crack.

I’m a fine way. What about Kristen? Kristen’s too preoccupied with getting her little family back to fall out of line. But Megan. Megan’s got nothing but an obsession with someone who’s comatose another continent. And even though she may be power hungry, I can’t imagine the board’s gonna be okay with her just waltzing in and trying to run things.

I mean, you have to have working knowledge of technology at least. Post walk, man. Am I right? But you my love, you are going to be the best CEO this company has ever seen. I you that also, on top of all that, we have the backing of the staff and the management, as you know. So Megan is not gonna be charged.

There’s no way in hell yeah. Well both agree on that. But you know, Megan, she’s got an ego on her bigger than all outdoors and, and not to mention her cold heart that is, What I, I’m thinking is set on world domination. I, I’m just wondering how she’s gonna take it. Do they honestly think that we’re gonna put our leverage behind them for a couple of measly jobs at Gabby Sheik?

What a waste of considerable talent. Yeah, I agree with you. We should be running Damara, not our baby brothers, and certainly not that little low life operator. Gabby Hernandez. My ambitions extend far beyond running Dara. Oh, and how far do they extend across oceans, across continents. I want no. I deserve more.

So much more. Can you be a little more specific? Father was a grand papa buster. The whole town of Salem feared Stephan o Damara. The world feared him and all of his other offspring have had their shot at emulating him. Now it’s my turn. Oh, okay. So now you want to be your father’s daughter, do you? I am my father’s daughter, and just as the Phoenix making Tamara is rising again.

To state the painfully obvious, Megan Hathaway doesn’t hold a candle to you. My stunning cunning wife to be. I love it when you say those words. Stunning, cunning, uh, wife. To be,

I can’t wait till we drop those final two words. You have no idea how long I’ve been dreaming about this. Yeah. What Running Gabby Sheik vacations in Hawaii sipping champagne in for his class. All of that is fun. Yes. But what, what truly matters is that we’re together again, how lucky we are and we can have it all.

You and I, all of it. I mean, think about it. We’re gonna be Salem’s Power Couple you formidable on your own, US Unstoppable as a team. Oh yeah. And what a team we are. My husband’s fee.

So in a nutshell, you are aspiring to take over the world. Have I got that right? I am not being delusional or grandiose. Kristin, I’m dead serious. I’ll start with sailor one bite out of the corporate pie at a time. Okay. You know, this is a very expensive undertaking and unlike father, you don’t hold the purse strings to damara.

Oh, must you wanna slide into Jeff Bezos, whose uh, dms. Cute. But no, I won’t be needing to bear money. I have another plan.

Abes missing. Yeah. And the psychopath that attacked him, Colin Bedford, apparently he escaped from police custody and he’s out there somewhere impersonating a cop. Do the police think that Abe’s attackers the one who took them? Well, that’s their leading theory at the moment. They have nothing else to go on.

What can I do to help? Well, I, you know, I think that the police need more manpower. Jada is just pulled in, well, a lot of different directions. How so? Well, her sister, for one, was arrested. For being in cahoots with this Bedford guy in cahoots. How? Look, I don’t know all the details. All I know is that we want Abe found.

I mean, he is relatively stable, but he had a serious head injury and I’m just worried that he’s not gonna get the care that he needs. I take it, mayor Carver’s a good friend of yours. He’s more than just a friend. He’s really family. You look tired. You need to get something to eat. I will. But you know, I, I, I, I hate to say I have to leave, but I just came here to pick up a couple things.

I need to get back to the hospital and brief the board. Sorry, one second. Oh, and the test results I’ve been waiting for rn, so hey. Hey. Are you okay? Yeah, I now that

I told son, I loved her. That means she said it first and then next thing you know, I set it back. Well, you, you wouldn’t have said it if you didn’t mean it. I did mean it in the moment. Well, maybe you didn’t mean it was an undying kind of love.

Oh, honey, I know you, I know how much you want a family. And when that happened, you’re gonna be a spectacular father.

But if this baby is yours, do you think you want to raise it with Nicole while she’s still with ej? Or are, are you thinking that maybe the two of you will, I don’t know, reunite and raise the baby together?

Ej, this is not about me wanting to go back to Eric or, or, or keeping my options open then. Then, what is it about? I was so desperately hoping to tell you that we were having a baby together, so then you wouldn’t have to deal with this uncertainty and anxiety. That has pretty much consumed me for the last few weeks.

Especially since there’s a good chance that I, I might not be able to carry this pregnancy to term.

Have you, have you spoken to a doctor yet? I mean, surely there have been some medical advances. When you were last pregnant? Yeah, I, I know I have been, and now I, I haven’t made an appointment with a specialist because I’ve, I’ve just been taking everything. One step at a time,

and I am curious, but how did Eric find out?

Sloane Peterson told him. Sloane knows she found out by accident. Ugh. Who else? Nicole. Who else knew before itis? I confided in Anna and she accidentally told Tony,

oh God, I feel like such a fool. No, AJ it was only gonna be for one more day. I’m, I’m seven weeks along now, and I, I had the test run and we’re gonna find out the results really soon. And how is that possible? Don’t you need a sample from me and Eric? No, just one of you. I was gonna swab your cheek while you were sleeping, but you went outta town.

So Sloane got a sample from Eric.

Nicole, Kayla. Hi. I have your test results.

You know what I wanna do in our honeymoon? What’s that? This, I just wanna be in bed with you all day.

Love the way your mind works. I can’t believe we’re actually gonna have a honeymoon this time and wedding cake, more than two guests in attendance. Right. How long do you think it’ll take, by the way, I mean, to plan the wedding that you’ve always dreamt of? I mean, it’s already been four years and that has been enough waiting for me.

Right. Yeah. Me too. But, hmm. And you really think we could afford to get away from Dara right now? I mean, yeah, taking over Dara is important to me, but marrying you, it’s everything. The most important.

What are you thinking?

I’m just, we don’t even have the divorce degree yet. The papers are signed. Have it day now. Yeah, day. Why don’t we get the feeling that you’re looking for reasons to put off the way.

Oh, I love a good get rich, quick scheme, just like the next person. So share. Megan, what do you have on your mind? You’ll find out soon enough. Wait, you don’t trust me. I trust you more than just about anyone. Ah, which means not very much am I right. You’ll have all the necessary details, my dear. When the time is right, I want to make sure that everything is in place first for when Bo regains consciousness father called Marlene, his Queen of the night.

Beau is going to be my queen, and together we are going to, okay, just time out. Time out. I mean, I’m sorry to interrupt your little fairytale, but what is my role in all of this? It is a vital one, of course. Oh, a vital one is, is that all you can say? I mean, that’s just as much as good as the proposal that you threw into the fire.

I am not trying to appease you, Kristin. You and I both know that you are not gonna have the time or the dedication to devote to this project as I do, given the fact that you have a young child that said, I very much need you. You are paramount to all of this. You’re damn right. I am. And I’m gonna make something clear.

I will not be sidelined, duly noted. And also, I’m gonna want something from you in return.

Well, can we come meet you now please? Yes, I’m on my way to the hospital and I have the next 30 minutes free. I’ll be there.

Why she couldn’t give you the results over the phone. What about checking the patient portal? I was actually hoping you’d come with me, hear the results. When? When I do.

I’ve been agonizing over this for weeks and now that you finally know I was, I was hoping we could go through this together no matter what.

I know that I’ve been rather harsh with you over all this, me not having known sooner.

But I want to be clear with you, Nicole,

nothing would make me happier than having a child with you.

Thank you.

That means so much to me.

Show me, ah, there’s, there’s just. One thing I have to do first, what is the point of all these hypothetical questions? It won’t mean anything if I’m not the baby’s father. I disagree. I think you need to be honest about your feelings regardless of what the test shows. And darling, if you’re still harboring some ideas that you and Nicole will get back together.

I think you need to look at that.

It’s Nicole.

She wants me to meet her at the hospital.

Guess this is the moment of truth.

Of course. No, of course. I wanna marry you as soon as possible. Okay, then what’s going on? I guess I’m a little gun shy after my last wedding turned into a farce, after, you know, 30 minutes. Okay, look at me this time. It’s gonna be perfect. All I know is I’m grateful every single day for the second chance,

first wedding, when a was. Marrying us downstairs. That was on July 31st. So if we pick that same day, we’ll only have one anniversary to remember. Oh, July 31st, huh? That’s um, mm-hmm. That’s eight weeks away. I know. You sure? That’s enough time. Of course. It’s enough time. Come on, I’m gonna make this an event to remember and for.

All the right reasons this time. I hope so

very well, Kristen. Tell me what this one condition is. Well, as you know, Brady has full custody of Rachel and he is held bent on keeping her away from me at all costs. Now, I asked several lawyers to revisit the case. They all refused me and I’m just sick and tired of hearing the word no. So I want these nefarious plans of yours to include my getting full custody of Rachel.

For good this time custody that is so pedestrian. Have you considered kidnapping her? Please Look, I know you have moved heaven and earth to be with your son, right? Yes, I have.

What’s on your mind? I’m just a bit concerned about Dimitri after he made sure that our. Immunity was included in his immunity deal. He was meant to come straight back to Salem. Haven’t heard from him. It was under the impression that he unitized everywhere. My son is an ex I s A agent. He’s an imposter.

Or be that as it may, if he doesn’t want to be found, he won’t be. Why would he not wanna be found? Well, I know for a fact the Alama family were desperate to get him back into custody, and I just hope that they haven’t intercepted him somehow. Call your jet’s mother. Your son’s right here.

Well, it’s like old home week here in Salem. All the villains passed and present co convening to make trouble. So I don’t have any more time to chew the fat with you, Michaels. I’ve really gotta get ahold of my partner, John, so we can get out there and find Abe. I’d really like to help if I can. Thanks. But we’re good.

Are you sure about that? Because if you’re out there looking for Abe, who can keep an eye on Megan 24 7. We got this. Michaels. Okay. Message heard loud and clear. I’ll go,

but, uh, see if, if you change your mind. My offer still stands,

ej are, are you okay? I don’t understand why you felt it necessary to summon Eric. Because I promise I would tell him when the results came in, and I wanna do this one time and then have it over with.

Well, uh, nothing yet. Kayla’s gonna meet us here in a few minutes. Well, I’m not in any suspense actually. Odds are strong. You want the father given that you only had sex when Nicole Once recently. Yeah. Well recently is what counts in this case, wouldn’t it? And since Nicole and I are now living together and enjoying each other for quite some time now, well stop it.

Just stop.

This is not some sick competition. Okay? This is about a, a child, a life. So I need you two to be kind to each other and to me

it breaks my heart that something that I’ve been longing for for so long, something that is such a blessing and a miracle could end. Fraught and painful. So I need you to help me through this. Whatever the results, whoever the father of this baby is. Okay. Can you do that for me please?

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Don’t worry, mama. I’m sure as soon as Abe sees you, it’ll all come rushing back. Oh. Oh, oh my, my God. Well, where is he? Where the hell is my husband? He’s not here. Oh my God. Chanel mama.

I got a minute. You wanna have a little coffee with you? Anytime. How about here? How about here? Um, I, I was gonna ask you about the, um, viral outbreak at the hospital. What? Talking about, well, um, um, Eric wanted to come and, and see Abe, and then he called me to make sure that. Visitors were allowed because of the outbreak on the 10th floor.

Well, if that was the case, I would be the first to know. So I think wherever Eric got his information, they were misinformed. Yes. Well, that was from Nicole. So either she’s misinformed or she lied about it, and I can’t think why she would do that,

Eric. What are you doing here, Nicole? We need to talk. Well, now it’s not a good time. I was on my way out so she could give you this.

Nicole, I know you’re pregnant.

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

What are you talking about? Why would you say that? I’m pregnant? Oh, please stop lying to my face.

I confronted Sloan. She told me what the swab was for. She told me everything.

Damn her. I knew your snick of a girlfriend couldn’t keep this secret.

You had one job, one simple job, and you screwed it up. Did you catch him? Did you catch my brother? Not yet. They’re clothes outside so you can get dressed, so then we can go and try and find the prisoner that you let get away. Go, honey. How could you let this happen? Huh? I mean, I knew the Salem PD was in net, but this, I mean, how could you even call yourselves cops?

Your psycho brother is the one who turned the gun on one of my officers to begin with. Not to mention the fact that you could have stopped this a long time ago. So cut the crop. Has he contacted you? No, he hasn’t. Is that the truth or are you lying to me again? Because you said that last time when you said that you were trying to protect him.

Absolutely not. Your brother is out there. He’s alone and he is desperate. And every cop in Salem is hunting him down. Yes, I know that. Yeah. Well then you should know that he is gonna need some help. And there are two people in this town that he’s gonna contact, one of which is being arraigned for her part in all of this.

The other. Is you. For the last time, Colin has not contacted me because he knows if he did, I would turn him in immediately. The last thing that I want is my brother running around Salem loose.

That seems to be the problem. We, the problem is that somebody stole my phone. I’m sorry, I don’t have time for that. No, no. You don’t understand. This isn’t just a phone we’re talking about. It’s my livelihood. It has my, my contacts, my anonymous sources. Photos of me that I don’t want getting into the wrong hands.

Okay. Well, I’m kind of in a rush. Okay. Uh, hang on, hang on. I just realized who you are. You are a very naughty boy.

Where are we going? Well, I told you sweetheart. The man who attacked you is nearby, and we’ve got to get you out of here finally.

Hi, babe. Where the hell are you?

Oh. Oh. Mm-hmm. Don’t you cry? Don’t you cry, Paul, Lena, you hold it together. Oh, your, your man needs you to be strong for him right now.

I just spoke to the nurses. Abe wasn’t scheduled for any tests, so he should be here in his room. Well, obviously he is not. Where is he?

What strange thing to lie about a, a viral outbreak. Hmm. And you say that, uh, Nicole told Eric about it? Yeah, well, he bumped into her, uh, coming into the hospital and she was carrying one of those. Rapid test kits. Um, and she said that everybody had to have, have, have a negative test result in order to come in to the hospital.

So she said if he wants to see aap, he’s going to have to, well get a cheek swab. Well, in order to perform the test, I’m gonna need a blood sample from you and a cheek swab from the potential father. So if there’s a, a viral outbreak at the hospital, you’d be the first to know about it, right? Yeah. Yeah, I would.

Oh, and it must not be happening. I wonder why Nicole would make up such a crazy story. Well, slums defense, I found out about your boast story from my mother. Oh my God. Marlena knows. No, not that you’re pregnant. Well, then how is she involved in this? Because I called my mother this morning. I needed to find out if I needed a test before I visited Abe.

She had no idea what I was talking about. So I confronted Sloan. She told me about the little bogus story that you two cooked up at the hospital. Mm-hmm. And I bet she couldn’t wait to spill the beans. No, Nicole. I had to pull it out of her. She said, you begged her not to tell me. Sloane should have never known to begin with.

It was a total fluke that she found out. Oh no. Haven’t you, you’ve been making up stories for weeks. What are you talking about there? You were outside of the pub. You just hung up the phone with Kayla. This is the test you were talking about a paternity test. You told me you were in early menopause. I thought I was in menopause and I took a blood test and I found out I was pregnant.

Needless to say, it, it, it was shocking and overwhelming and But why didn’t you just tell me, I promised you you could trust me and you lied right to my face.

Well, if it makes you feel any better, I lied to EJ too.

He doesn’t know that I’m pregnant or that I, I don’t know which one of you is the father.

Listen, we don’t know each other, bud. I think you have me mixed up with someone else. Oh, no, I don’t. I may be terrible with names, but I never forget a face, especially not when as pretty as yours. I know exactly who you are. Well, I need the entire hospital staff working with my officers to get this hospital locked down.

Suspect’s name is Colin Bedford. Have already sent a photo. Now be advised he’s stolen officer’s uniformed and is armed and dangerous. Anyone spots him? You contact me immediately, one of your trigger. Happy cop. Hurts my brother. Oh don’t you. Don’t you threaten me Sloane. He could have cooperated instead.

He chose to do this. Okay. Made things much worse. Ra rape. We need to talk to you please. All right now. Okay. It’s gonna have to wait. Oh, the hell And Will Abraham is missing.

Here we are. My love home. Sweet home.

Um, a viral outbreak. Well, maybe he talked to Nicole about that. Hmm. I wonder if it has anything to do with her. Secret. Secret About what? I don’t know. I was nervous station the other day and Nicole. Was talking to Sloan of all people. Really? I didn’t know they were friends. They’re not friends. In fact, when Sloan walked away, Nicole said she couldn’t stand her.

And I had also overheard Sloan say that she would keep Nicole’s script.

I should have known that Sloan would tell you, or that the secret would come out some other way because that’s what secrets do. And. No one knows that better than me. But this one, I just, I thought if I could control it, then I could minimize the damage because the last thing I wanna do is hurt anyone I know.

I’m sorry, I, I’m sorry. If I have said to you, why are you apologizing? You have every right to be angry. You don’t need to be nice to me. And I’m, I’m not upset because of what you said. I’m, I’m upset because once again, my life is a giant hot mess.

I told you, you do not need to be nice to me.

Thank you.

We, we slept together once when, when our,

we were drugged out of our minds and we didn’t know what we were doing, and we agreed that it was a mistake.

So why would I tell you that I’m pregnant? Cause I might be a father, but you might not be. So I didn’t see the point in telling you or AJ until I was sure. And I don’t need you to hovering over me or or worse trying to kill each other, most likely scenarios.

I know how badly you wanna be a father, and of course you are so incredible with Holly. But having a child of your own, I know that’s been a dream of yours and I am. I saw how devastated you were with Sarah and, and Jada, and I just, I don’t wanna put you through that again.

I don’t wanna get your hopes up for you to find out that you’re not the father. I don’t wanna break your heart, but the truth is, I, I still might. What do you mean? You know, the chances of me carrying this baby to term are practically zero. And if you are the father and I miscarry again, I will be making you experience the agony of yet another loss.

Nicole, having a miscarriage would not be your fault, and I would never blame you for it. You know, I know that in all this time, I’m sure there’s been enough medical advances to help you eliminate the risk.

You know what, and even Kayla, she can recommend a fertility doctor to help you map out whatever you need to do.

It’s just, I, I, I just can’t think about any of that right now. I, I, I can’t think about planning this pregnancy until I know who got me pregnant.

It’s enough.

I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m such a rig.

Don’t apologize. I’m your friend that many of you are friends, right?

Of course.

May I ask us friend?

What’s next? Uh, um, well, I, uh, I needed to be seven weeks alone, which I am today, um, in order to have a paternity test done, but I, I couldn’t get a swab from ej. Yeah, but you have mine. Well, assuming I could use it, Kayla will take my blood and compare your DNA n a to the babies and then we’ll, we’ll know if, if it’s ejs,

bring any bells. Not a clue. This is where we live. Yes, sir. It’s our little love nest. I, I, I know it’s not much, but it’s where we’ve made our home.

Paulina. Yes, she did. What? What’s with all the cats? Oh. You poor dear. You don’t remember our babies? Oh, I’m sorry. I’m, I’m afraid not. Well, unfortunately, I’m terribly allergic to real kitties, and so I’m a crazy stuffed cat lady. And you are crazy stuffed cat man. Oh, well that definitely does not ring a bell.

Oh. Maybe you need to be reintroduced. Okay, Abraham, this is Tasha, Maha and Sasha. They’re triplets and they’re such little rascals, aren’t you? Yes you are. Yes you are. And this is cheesecake. You named him. Remember? I’m sorry. I don’t Oh, well. Okay. Maybe if you hold him. There he is. Go ahead. Can’t tell Cheese King how much you missed him.

You? Pardon? Tell him how much you missed him while you were gone.

I, uh, I’m guessing that you’re not allergic to dust. I think, I think cheesecake could use the bath Abraham. When you were attacked, I was by your bedside around the clock. I didn’t have time to come home and clean, and besides Whitley’s, not much of a housekeeper anyway. Who’s Whitley? I don’t care. Whatever else you have going on, you need to find my husband.

Paulina, please, could you please just calm down? Okay. If Abe is not in his room, he’s probably, when they probably pulled him out for some tests. I already talked to the nurses. He’s not scheduled for any tests. You hear that Commissioner Abraham is missing? I’m going to go look for my husband and you had best do the same.

Oh, you again outta my way. I need to speak with faith about my brother. All right, Pauline, there’s something that you need to know about Colin. Oh, I, I already know I was standing right there when you sent that cop to his room. Now, I assume you have that animal locked up in a cage by now. Well, actually we don’t.

What? You don’t what the hell? We had him in custody and then, He escaped. Oh, honey, I definitely recognize you and I know why you prefer I didn’t. Yeah. Why is that? Well, I don’t think the commissioner would approve of your side hustle pulling double duty as an adult entertainer. I have no idea what you’re talking about.

Oh, come on. I saw you at my friend ATT End’s bachelor party a couple of weeks ago. You gave the groom to be a lap dance, and then you showed everybody your night stick. I thought you were wearing a cop costume, but now that I know that was real, makes the whole thing that much hotter. Listen, I wasn’t at any party.

As I said, you have me mixed up with someone else. Okay, fine. Maybe it wasn’t you that gave that arresting performance, but I definitely know you from somewhere, the gym at the Salem in you were having esteem post-workout, Sam’s help. Wrong again. Okay, fine. Maybe I do occasionally forget a face, but I never forget a nice stick.

We’re done here. Oh, come on. Hang on, hang on, hang on. Get your bloody hands off me. My car. No. What the hell? Well, what’s with the limey accent?

Oh, mg, that’s who you are.

Oh, you know Whitley, she’s the girl that we have come in clean for us once a month.

I don’t remember either. Oh, darling, you have to give yourself a break. You’ve been through a terrible ordeal, and there’s a long road ahead towards your recovery. Now I’m gonna get you into bed and get you some rest, and everything’s gonna be just like I, I I, I, I don’t want any rest. I, I got to figure out what’s happening.

It’s very simple. I’m your wife. I’m a nurse, and when Nurse Paulina says rest is best, you would be wise to listen. Okay. My love. Okay. Uh, but shouldn’t we call Chanel first? Chanel you. Let Colin get away that lunar ticket loose. Well, we’re checking security cameras. We’re going to find him. Okay. And what about Abe?

Oh, wait, wait a minute. They both went missing from the same place at the same time. That can’t be a coincidence. What if that that evil man took my husband? Well, it is. That is possible. Oh, but. My God, if you, if you have anything to do with that. I didn’t. I swear. I just want help the police find my brother.

Now. We don’t need your help of any kind of miserable witch. Okay? Hold on a second. Now, just listen, if Colin does have a, it’s not gonna be a problem. Uhuh, there’s no ifs, no ands, no butts. Colin Bedford is a homicidal maniac, and anyone who’s with him is in terrible danger.

You’re Colin Bedford, Sloan, Peterson’s brother. Would he been your guy? Oh, I’m late for an appointment. Wouldn’t be with the police, would he? Telling him, you run into me. Heaven’s no. No. I wouldn’t say a word. Word, but you could. You could say plenty of words. Sorry. It’s funny, I’m a reporter, but I’d never paid attention to the real news.

I talk about boring, although the other day, my boss, AK and my bestie, who also happens to be from across the pond just like you, she was talking about you and immediately my ears perked up because you are one fascinating man. And now you have a chance to tell your side of the story. You can give me an exclusive interview.

And I give you a chance to be heard, to say things you’ve been wanting to say for years about Chanel, Paulina, all of it. And I promise you people will listen. Yeah. You really think so? Oh, I know. So you hit Abe Carver over the head with a rolling pin. I can see the headline already. The British banger.

That’s you mashes mayor than dishes to Lady W. What did he say?

This baby is mine. Eric, I don’t wanna talk about it.

I am with EJ now. And you are with Sloan and we have moved on and there is no reason to talk about this until we know that there is anything to talk about.

Will you me, as you get the results?

Of course, I.

Thank you for this.

Brown. I guess I shouldn’t tret about it. Regardless of how I feel about Sloan, Eric is committed to seeing where this relationship goes, and I am, I’m committed to supporting him. Yeah. Oh, sorry.

Dr. Johnson. Ah, Kayla. Hi. It’s, it’s Nicole. I have. The sample you need to do the paternity test. Great. I can meet you at the hospital now if you like. Yes, please. I, I would appreciate that. Okay. See you soon.

Did you say Chanel? I’m the one supposed to have the memory problems. Your daughter, my stepdaughter? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Of course I know who Chanel is. I know who Chanel is. I just wanna know why you wanna talk to her now. What? She was with me when I woke up and I didn’t recognize her or you and I know.

That, that upset her a great deal. So I, I would like to reassure her the, we left the hospital before I had a chance. Hmm. You’re right. I should call Chanel. I’m gonna call her right now.

Hey, baby girl, Chanel. It’s Paul, your mama? Yeah. Oh, I’m sorry. I’m just getting around to call you. It’s been a crazy day and I’m finally getting a chance to catch my breath. Mm-hmm. Yes.

Breathe, mama. Breathe. How can I just lie in this bed when my husband is in the clutches of my monster? Why am I in this bed any damn way? Because your blood pressure and heart weight are way up. So they, they wanna admit you so that they can make sure that you’re, you’re okay. Oh dear. Hey, remember what I said?

We don’t even know for sure that Colin has Abe, right? The name’s tough. He’s strong. He’s gonna fight. He just had brain surgery. How’s he supposed to fight? Mama, listen to me. Abe loves you so much and that love is gonna make him strong and he will do whatever it takes to get back to you. There’s not a doubt in my mind.

Oh baby, I hope you are right, but this is the second head injury Avis had in the past year and I’m, I’m not even sure he knows where. Why would you say that? When a woke up, he didn’t recognize me or mama. He didn’t know where he was. He didn’t even remember that he’d been attacked.

It’s possible. Abe doesn’t even know he’s in danger. Yeah. Yes. Chanel Abe is back home with me. Yes, yes. Everything is fine. Uhhuh. Oh, no, no, no. He’s too tired to talk. Mm-hmm. No, no. He’s too tired to talk. No, he’s fine though. No nurse. Paul has got this. We’re gonna make sure he’s just fine. Yes. Alright. No, no, no, no.

There’s absolutely no need for you to come over. I got this. All right, baby girl. All right. I love you too. All right. Bye-bye. Okay. Chanel’s not angry with me. Oh no, not at all. She was glad that I called to put her mind at rest. Yeah, we were all just so worried that that awful, Mr. Bedford was gonna come and hurt you again.

Let me just grab my notebook so I can write down everything. Ah, look, I found my phone. I guess it wasn’t stolen after all. I’m here with Colin Bedford, ak, the British banger. Is it okay if I call you Colin? Collins, how do you respond to allegations that you’re an unhinged psychopath?

I can confirm that. Tell me again, Mr. Stark.

Hey, Sono was about to call you. Yeah, I just got an alert that your brother broke out of the hospital. I know. I just came from there. What happened? He overpowered the cop that was assigned to help him with his transfer, and now he’s gone. He couldn’t gotten him far. Right. I don’t know. I just hope that they catch him soon before someone else gets hurt.

Anyway, so what’d you end up doing with that swab? I gave Nicole a sample of my dna n. She’s bringing it to Kayla. Then we’ll all know.

Kayla, thank you so much for, for meeting me. Of course, you know how anxious you are for answers yes. You go, uh, I never thought I would be in this position, this stage of my life. I mean, not only pregnant, but not knowing who father is. So, um, will this, will this take a while or No, it shouldn’t. I’ll draw your blood and take that and this DMA sample to lab for comparison and then I’ll get back to you as soon as I know something and then the waiting will finally be over.

Thank God. Sorry.

Hey Peterson, what do you want? A comment on your brother’s escape from police custody. Do you get the news alert on your phone? No, I got it in my face. What are you talking about? Colin was just here dressed as a cop. Well, where did he go? How the hell should I know? I’m just glad he’s gone. That dude is seriously scary.

I was lucky to escape with my life. Oh, and by the way, your brother owes me a phone. Thank you. Oh, hey. Hey Rick. Hey. I just got off the phone from the head of security. They said the hospital’s on lunch phone. Yeah. Colin Bedford’s escaped and Abe’s gone missing. Oh my God. Did you say Colin kidnapped him?

Well, we don’t know for sure, bud. It’s possible. Babe is so vulnerable right now. Listen, what can I do? How can I help? I’ll just be ready when we find him, which we will once we rescue him from a certifiable psychopath.

Positive thoughts. Ooh, positive thoughts. Ooh, mama, you’re cold. I’m here for you and I will be here too very soon.

So what is this? He’s your favorite. Do you remember his name? Elvis? No. It’s Katz Domino. Ah, right. Better. Oh baby. Do you always make things better for me? Yeah. After I make them worse. Oh, you stop that right now? I don’t want you blaming yourself any of this. We have to be strong and brave and optimistic.

You’re right. Mm-hmm. Abe is okay and man, he just has to be, that’s all there is to it. Well, I wish I could say this looks familiar or that any of this looks familiar, but it doesn’t. Oh, oh, Abraham, don’t you, Fred? Everything will come back to you and in time and until then, Pauline is gonna take good care of you.

Well, hi honey. Hi. I just came from seeing your dad and Kate. Are they doing all right? They’re, they’re doing better than All right. They’re sort of making up for lost time. Um, you have a minute to talk. For you. Of course. Anytime. What’s up? Well, I have some news actually. It may be big news. I just found out Nicole’s pregnant.

It could be mine.

Now you are darling.

I missed you. I’ve missed you too.

When did you get back? Oh, a little while ago. I looked all over for you, but I couldn’t find you. Where have you?

Update written by Joseph

Chanel brings Paulina to Abe’s room and tells her not to worry as she’s sure when Abe sees her, it will all come back. They then discover that Abe is gone so Paulina questions where the hell her husband is. Paulina begins to panic while Chanel encourages her that he must have just been taken for tests and she goes to check.

The nurse pretending to be Paulina wheels Abe through the hospital and tells him not to worry because she’s going to get him out of here now as they wait on the elevator. She claims to Abe that she is Paulina and promises to get him out of the hospital and far away from anyone who wants to hurt him.

Sloan goes to Colin’s hospital room and finds the cop handcuffed to the bed. She questions who the hell he is and where her brother is. He informs her that the suspect got away which shocks Sloan.

Colin escapes the hospital dressed as a cop. He walks through the park where Leo rushes up and says he needs the officer’s help.

Marlena finds Kayla at the Brady Pub. Kayla says she was checking on Roman and Kate. Marlena mentions that she was going to do the same thing. Kayla informs her that Will called Kate so they are on a video chat. Kayla and Marlena decide to have coffee. Marlena asks Kayla about the viral outbreak at the hospital but Kayla doesn’t know what she’s talking about. Marlena explains that Eric called her about seeing Abe and wanted to know about the viral outbreak on the 10th floor. Kayla says she would be the first to know, so where ever Eric got his information, they were misinformed. Marlena informs Kayla that it came from Nicole, so either she is misinformed or she lied about it and she can’t think of why Nicole would do that.

Nicole prepares to leave the DiMera Mansion and opens the door right as Eric arrives. Nicole questions what he’s doing there. Eric says they need to talk but Nicole says it’s not a good time as she was on her way out. Eric reveals that he knows she was going to meet Sloan and that he knows she’s pregnant. Eric and Nicole head in to the living room. Nicole questions what he’s talking about and why he would say she’s pregnant. Eric asks her to stop lying to his face and explains that he confronted Sloan until she told him what the swab was for. Nicole complains that she knew Sloan couldn’t keep the secret.

Sloan argues with the cop that he had one simple job and screwed it up. Rafe enters, so Sloan asks if they found Colin but Rafe says not yet. Rafe sends the cop to go get dressed so they can go try and find the prisoner that he let get away. Sloan questions Rafe as to how he could let this happen. Sloan remarks that she knew the Salem PD was inept. Rafe argues that her psycho brother turned the gun on one of his officers and that Sloan could’ve stopped this a long time ago. Rafe asks if Colin has contacted Sloan. She says no but Rafe points out that she said that last time when she was lying to protect him. Rafe warns that Colin is out there alone and desperate with every cop in Salem hunting him down, so he is going to need some help and there’s only two people that he would contact. Rafe says one of them is being arraigned for her part and the other is Sloan. Sloan insists that Colin won’t contact her because he knows she would turn him in immediately. Sloan declares that the last thing she wants is her brother running around Salem loose.

Colin asks Leo what the problem is. Leo says that someone stole his phone. Colin says he doesn’t have time for this. Leo argues that his phone is his life and he has his contacts, his anonymous sources, and photos. Colin says he’s kind of in a rush and tries to leave but Leo stops him and says he just realized who he is and calls him a very naughty boy. Colin flashes back to knocking out Abe at the Bakery.

Abe asks the nurse where they are going. She responds that the man who attacked him is nearby, so they have to get him out of here. She then wheels Abe onto the elevator. Chanel comes around the corner, wondering where the hell Abe is.

Paulina remains in Abe’s hospital room, telling herself not to cry because Abe needs her to be strong. Chanel comes back and informs Paulina that Abe was not scheduled for any tests, so he should be here. Paulina complains that obviously he’s not and wonders where he is.

Marlena tells Kayla that a viral outbreak is a strange thing to lie about, explaining that Eric ran in to Nicole at the hospital while she had a rapid test kit. Kayla recalls telling Nicole that she would need a cheek swab for her paternity test. Kayla assures Marlena that she would be the first to know about a viral outbreak. Marlena wonders why Nicole would make up such a crazy story.

Eric tells Nicole that in Sloan’s defense, he found out about her bogus story from Marlena when he called her to ask if he needed a test to visit Abe because of the viral outbreak but she had no idea what he was talking about, so he confronted Sloan. Nicole bets Sloan couldn’t wait to spill the beans. Eric says he had to pull it out of her and she said that Nicole begged her not to tell him. Nicole complains that Sloan never should’ve known and it was a total fluke that she found out. Eric talks about Nicole making up stories for weeks and realizes what test he heard her talking to Kayla on the phone about when she told him that she was in early menopause. Nicole says she thought she was, so she took a blood test and found out she was pregnant which was shocking and overwhelming. Eric questions why she didn’t just tell him when he promised she could trust him, but she lied right to his face. Nicole says if it makes him feel any better, she lied to EJ too and he doesn’t know that she’s pregnant or that she doesn’t know which one of them is the father.

Colin tells Leo that they don’t know each other so he may have mixed up with someone else. Leo assures that he never forgets a face and he knows exactly who he is.

Rafe calls for the entire hospital staff to work with his officers to have the hospital on lockdown and to be advised that Colin stole an officer’s uniform and is armed and dangerous. Sloan warns about one of the cops getting trigger happy with her brother. Rafe tells Sloan not to threaten him because Colin could’ve cooperated but instead, chose to do this and made things much worse. Paulina and Chanel come over. Paulina says they need to talk to Rafe. Rafe says it will have to wait but Paulina refuses and informs him that Abe is missing.

The nurse brings Abe to her home.

Kayla suggests Marlena talk to Nicole. Marlena wonders if it has anything to do with Nicole’s secret as she was in the nurses station the other day and Nicole was talking to Sloan of all people. Marlena adds that when Sloan walked away, Nicole said she couldn’t stand her but she overheard Sloan say she would keep Nicole’s secret.

Nicole complains that she should’ve known Sloan would tell Eric or that the secret would come out another way because that’s what secrets do and no one knows that better than her. Nicole thought if she could control it, she could minimize the damage because she doesn’t want to hurt anyone. Eric says he’s sorry if he upset her. Nicole questions why he’s apologizing and says he has every right to be angry, so he doesn’t need to be nice to her. Nicole cries that she’s not upset about what he said, but because once again her life is a giant hot mess. Eric gives her a water while Nicole repeats that he does not need to be nice to her. Nicole states that they slept together once while drugged out of their minds and they agreed that it was a mistake. Nicole asks why she would tell him that she’s pregnant. Eric says he might be the father but Nicole says he might not be, so she didn’t see the point in telling him or EJ until she was sure and she doesn’t need them hovering over her or trying to kill each other. Nicole cries that she knows how much Eric wants to be a father and that having a child of his own has been a dream of his. Nicole brings up how devastated Eric was with Sarah and Jada, so she didn’t want to put him through that again or get his hopes up only to find out he’s not the father. Nicole says she does not want to break his heart but the truth is, she still might. Eric asks what she means. Nicole points out that the chances of her carrying the baby to term are practically zero, so if Eric is the father and she miscarries again, she will be making him experience the agony of yet another loss. Eric argues that a miscarriage would not be her fault and he would never blame her for it. Eric encourages that there have been medical advances to help her eliminate the risk and that Kayla could recommend a fertility doctor to help map out whatever she needs to do. Nicole says she just can’t think about planning the pregnancy until she knows who got her pregnant. Nicole cries that she’s sorry she’s such a wreck. Eric tells her not to apologize and that they are friends. Eric then asks her what is next. Nicole responds that she needed to be 7 weeks along to have the paternity test which she is today, but she couldn’t get a swab from EJ. Eric points out that she has his. Nicole says if she can use it, Kayla will take her blood and compare his DNA to the baby’s, so they will know if it’s EJ’s or his.

Abe questions this being where they live which the nurse allows him to believe. Abe looks around and sees the room is surrounded by stuffed animal cats as well as pictures and statues of cats as he questions what’s with all the cats. The nurse questions him not remembering and says that she’s allergic to cats so she’s a crazy stuffed cat lady. Abe says that definitely does not ring a bell. She introduces Abe to the stuffed cats which she names Tasha, Masha, and Sasha and another that she claims Abe named as Cheesecake but Abe does not remember. She has Abe hold the stuffed animal but it causes Abe to sneeze. Abe blames the dust while the nurse claims she has been by Abe’s side since he was attacked so she didn’t have time to come home and clean. She mentions a house keeper named Whitley, so Abe questions who that is.

Paulina doesn’t care what else Rafe has going on and says he needs to find her husband. Rafe asks her to calm down and says if Abe is not in his room, they probably pulled him out for tests. Chanel informs him that she already talked to the nurses and they said he’s not scheduled for any tests. Paulina complains that Abe is missing and declares she’s going to look for him, so Rafe better do the same. Paulina tells Sloan to get out of her way, but Sloan says she needs to talk with Rafe about her brother. Rafe informs Paulina that there’s something he needs to tell her about Colin. Paulina says she was there when Rafe sent the cop to his room, so she assumes they have him locked up in a cage now but Rafe reveals they don’t which Paulina questions. Rafe explains that they had him in custody, but then he escaped.

Leo tells Colin that he definitely recognizes him and why he doesn’t want him to. Leo believes that Colin is an adult entertainer, but he says he has no idea what he’s talking about. Leo claims he saw him at his friend’s bachelorette party a few weeks ago and he thought it was a cop costume, but now sees it’s real. Colin insists that it wasn’t him. Leo says maybe not but he definitely knows him from somewhere. Leo then asks if he was in the gym at the Salem Inn, working out without a towel, but Colin says he’s wrong again. Leo decides maybe he does forget a face. Colin says they are done here but Leo stops him. Colin warns him to get his hands off of him. Leo questions Colin’s accent, but then realizes who he is.

The nurse tells Abe about Whitley, who they have come clean once a month. Abe says he doesn’t remember her either. The nurse says he’s just been through so much and says that she will get him in bed so he can rest, but Abe says he doesn’t want to rest as he has to figure out what’s happening. She tells him that she is his wife and a nurse, so he should listen to her when she tells him to rest. Abe suggests calling Chanel first which she questions.

Paulina questions Rafe letting Colin get away. Rafe says they are checking security cameras and they are going to find him. Chanel asks about Abe. Paulina argues that it can’t be a coincidence that Abe and Colin both went missing from the same place at the same time and questions if that evil man took her husband. Rafe admits that is possible. Paulina warns Sloan about having anything to do with this. Sloan swears that she didn’t and she just wants to help the police find her brother. Paulina says they don’t need her help. Rafe points out that if Colin does have Abe, they can’t be far. Paulina declares that Colin is a homicidal maniac and anyone who is with him is in terrible danger.

Leo realizes Colin is Sloan’s brother and says he’s late for an appointment so he tries to run but Colin stops him and questions if he’s going to tell the police that he ran in to him. Leo says he wouldn’t say a word. Leo mentions being a reporter but never paying attention to the real news. Leo talks about Gwen talking about him. Leo calls Colin a fascinating man and says now he has a chance to tell his side of the story. Leo encourages that Colin can give him an exclusive interview and say all the things he’s wanted to say for years about Chanel and Paulina. Leo promises people will listen and asks what he says.

Eric starts talking about if the baby is his but Nicole says she doesn’t want to talk about it. Nicole states that she is with EJ now, Eric is with Sloan, and they have moved on, so there is no reason to talk about this until they know that there is anything to talk about. Eric asks her to tell him as soon as she gets the results which she agrees to do. Nicole thanks him for the cheek swab. Eric then exits the mansion as Nicole holds back tears.

Marlena guesses she shouldn’t fret about it since regardless how she feels about Sloan, Eric wants to see where the relationship goes and she is going to support him. Kayla gets a call from Nicole, who informs her that she has the sample needed for the paternity test. Kayla says she will meet her at the hospital and will see her soon as they hang up.

The nurse questions Abe saying Chanel. Abe says he’s the one with memory problems and says he’s talking about her daughter. The nurse questions why he wants to talk to her now. Abe says that Chanel was with her when he woke up and he didn’t recognize them, which he knows upset her, so he’d like to reassure her since they left the hospital before he had the chance. The nurse claims she will call Chanel now. She pretends to call Chanel.

Rafe and Chanel lay Paulina in a hospital bed and encourage her to breathe. Paulina questions how she can just lie in a bed while her husband could be in the clutches of a mad man. Paulina asks why she’s in this bed anyway. Chanel explains that her blood pressure and heart rate were up, so they wanted to admit her to make sure she is okay. Rafe reminds Paulina that they don’t even know for sure that Colin has Abe and that Abe is tough and will fight. Paulina questions how Abe is supposed to fight when he just had brain surgery. Chanel assures that Abe loves her so much and that will make him strong enough to do whatever it takes to get back to her. Paulina hopes she’s right but warns that this is the second head injury Abe has had in the past year, so she’s not even sure he knows who he is. Rafe asks why she would say that. Chanel explains that when Abe woke up, he didn’t recognize her or Paulina, where he was, and didn’t even remember that he had been attacked. Paulina worries that it’s possible that Abe doesn’t even know he’s in danger…

The nurse pretends to be telling Chanel on the phone that Abe is home with her and everything is fine. She then tells Abe that Chanel is not angry and is glad that she called. She says they were all just worried that Colin was going to hurt him again.

Leo tells Colin that he will just grab his notebook to write everything down. Leo reaches in to his bag and then finds his phone, realizing it wasn’t stolen after all. Leo then begins recording his interview with Colin by asking how he responds to allegations that he’s an unhinged psychopath. Colin then grabs Leo’s phone, slams it down, and steps on it. Colin says he can confirm that and pushes past Leo as he walks away.

Eric walks past the Brady Pub and gets a call from Sloan. Eric says he was about to call her as he just got an alert that Colin broke out of the hospital. Sloan says she just came from there. Eric asks what happened. Sloan explains that he overpowered the cop assigned to his transfer and now he’s gone. Eric guesses he couldn’t have gone far. Sloan says she doesn’t know but she hopes they catch him before anyone else gets hurt. Sloan then asks what Eric did with the cheek swab. Eric informs her that he gave it to Nicole and she’s bringing to Kayla, then they will all know.

Nicole arrives at the hospital and thanks Kayla for meeting her. Kayla knows how anxious she is for answers. Nicole gives Kayla the cheek swab and says she never thought she’d be in this position at this stage of her life, pregnant and not knowing who the father is. Nicole asks if this will take awhile. Kayla says it shouldn’t as she should take her blood, compare it with the DNA sample and get back to her as soon as possible. Nicole declares the waiting will finally be over as they walk off together.

Sloan walks past Leo, who asks her for a comment on her brother’s escape. Sloan asks if he got the news alert on his phone. Leo explains that he got it in his face as Colin was just there, dressed like a cop. Sloan questions where he went. Leo asks how he should know and says he’s just glad he’s gone because Colin is seriously scary and he was lucky to escape with his life. As Sloan walks away, Leo shouts for her to tell her brother that he owes him a phone.

Kayla finds Rafe at the hospital and questions him about the hospital being on lockdown. Rafe explains that Colin escaped and Abe has gone missing. Kayla asks if he thinks Colin kidnapped Abe. Rafe says they don’t know for sure, but it’s possible. Kayla worries about Abe being so vulnerable and asks how she can help. Rafe says to just be ready when they find him.

Paulina encourages having positive thoughts. Chanel assures that she’s there for her and Abe will be there too, very soon.

The nurse continues showing Abe the stuffed animal cats as he’s left confused.

Paulina tells Chanel that she always makes things better and encourages her to be strong, brave, and optimistic that Abe is okay.

Abe tells the nurse that he wishes he could say any of this looks familiar, but it doesn’t. She encourages that everything will come back in time but until then, she will take good care of him.

Eric enters the Brady Pub and greets Marlena, who says she just checked on Roman and Kate who are making up for lost time. Eric asks if she has a minute to talk as he has some news that might be big. Eric reveals to Marlena that he just found out Nicole is pregnant and it could be his.

Nicole joins EJ in his bedroom. They kiss and say they missed each other. EJ says he just got back awhile ago and he looked all over for her but he couldn’t find her, so he questions where she has been.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

I brought you some painkillers. Oh, thanks. I’m fine.

How’s Mayor Carver? He’s still in the hospital. He’s recovering from surgery and it looks like he’ll be okay. Thank God. Please, Colin will be charged with murder. Now

you bitch, you’re doing. I beg your pardon? I’m sorry. I, I know you’re pulling a price

and I thought. Waiting for the doctors to finish. Operating was bad. Sitting here seeing you like this.

Come on, Abraham. You’ve been outta surgery for hours now. Biggest time that you opened those big, beautiful eyes and came back to us. Can you do that for my love? Please

wake up. Well, you heard what Taylor said, mama. He suffered a serious head trauma and then there was a long surgery. His body needs time to recover. He should come around soon. Oh damn. Colored Bedford. Whacking my sweetheart in the head like that. Oh, that son of a bitch is pure evil. Yeah. Told you too. She played a big part in this.

Oh. Oh, you don Oh, I can’t take it anymore. I’m gonna, I’m gonna go have to find, okay. I’ll stay here with you. Okay. Thanks baby.

Nicole. Hey, why haven’t you called me? You said you got the swab right? That’s in my hand as we speak. Can you meet me at the park in an hour? That, um, little area near the rec center. I’ll be there. And Sloan, I, I’m. I am really grateful that you got the sample from Eric. Yeah, well, like I said, I have a vested interest.

I’m just hoping to hell. His DNA is not a match for that baby you’re carrying.

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

Nicole, Anna. Hi. So how did it go last night? Were you able to get a, a DNA sample from each a. Unfortunately, no. No, but that sleeping pill should have knocked him out like a light. I, I’m sure it would’ve if he had taken it, but he got called away on business before he could. Oh no. Darn it. Well, when do you expect him back?

I don’t know, but, uh, it doesn’t matter. What are you talking about? How will you get a sample now? I don’t have to. Sloane did she got one from Eric last night.

Oh, that was fast. Helps when you know the owner, I got us an egg sandwich with cheese and a black coffee for you. Ah, that’s so sweet of you. Yeah. Do you mind if I just take it to go though? I kind of wanna get to the hospital and check on Colin. Yeah. Well, you need to take a test first, right? Test. Yeah. The virus outbreak that you and Nicole went on and on about, on the 10th floor.

Remember you even said you had to prove it to the hospital that you weren’t carrying the virus before they let you visit. Oh, right. Actually, I just called the hospital. They said apparently, I don’t know, they contained the virus. So I don’t have to take the test today. Great. Truth is you never had to take a test, did you?

So you think I’m pulling a price? Huh? What? Do all black women look alike to you? No. No, no. I just, I only seen you from the back and a little on edge, as you can imagine. Yeah. On edge and nasty and rude here. This is some medicine to ease your pain. Although you don’t really deserve it, do you for all the pain that you caused our beloved mayor, no full story.

All right. Uh, maybe I should just ask to assign another nurse. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Mr. Bedford, I am your nurse whether you like it or not, and I will do my professional best to heal your body, but you are gonna have to heal your own soul. You hear me? Young man, it’s gonna take prayer and, and humility and repenting for your sins and.

If you believe this with your whole heart, maybe the good Lord will see fit to allow you entry into the kingdom of heaven.

You’re seriously worried about that monster at a time like this. Have you forgotten where you are and what you did to aid? And I bet that son of a bitch, the only person that you need to worry about right now is Talia. Look, okay. I know this is bad, okay? But I mean, this is my first defense. They can’t go that hard on me.

Right? Wrong. I just had a visit with Da Trask and she intends to throw the fuck at you. Wait, what? You can’t be surprised. She was one of your victims. She ended up in the hospital thanks to your poisoned biscuits. She could have died, although as as tragic as I would’ve been. I mean, that would’ve been better for you because now you have a pissed off.

A very pissed off district attorney who is gunning for you. Love you. Why Talia? What the hell were you thinking?

You don’t deserve to be lying in this bed. You wouldn’t be If I hadn’t gotten involved in Nathan Bedford all those years ago. Everyone keeps saying that it, it isn’t my fault that he was in a position of power and he, he took advantage of me, but I can’t help feeling responsible for what happened to you.

Colin wanted Mama and me to pay, and now you’re stuck suffering the consequences. And for that I am so, so sorry.

Oh my God.

Oh, oh, I got you. You’re awake. I I wait until I’m gonna get back. Actually, I’m gonna, I’m gonna text her. I’m gonna text her right now. Where,

where am I? Oh, um, you’re, you’re in the hospital. Do you remember what happened?

Well, um, you were attacked, you were hit over the head and then you had to get brain surgery, but now you’re awake and you’re gonna be okay. Thank God. Thank God.

Who are you?

Colin Bedford. I’m Commissioner Hernandez. As you know, you’re under arrest. I just wanted you to know that you’re gonna be facing a long list of charges. Attempted murder, kidnapping, false imprisonment. Is that it? Well, I’ve probably forgotten about a few, but, uh, well, there’s plenty of time for that. In fact, your doctors tell me that you’re all enough to be discharged.

So I got a detail on its way down here to take you to the station. Well, you’ll be booked, officially charged, and then, uh, taken to a holding cell. What about Talia? What about Talia? Anyone should be charged with attempted murder.

Help me understand this. Okay. You graduated at the top of your med school class. You had your pick of residencies all across the country. You were on track to star what was sure to be an amazing career. But instead you, you threw that all away. To what? To come to Salem. To what? To terrorize two people that you didn’t even know.

I didn’t terrorize them then, what would you call it, Talia, you trash polling in’s office. You, you tried to ruin Chanel’s business by poisoning half the town. People were seriously hurt because of you. Okay. I get it. Okay. I feel bad enough as it is. I get it.

Oh, I don’t think that you do, and I wasn’t kidding earlier. You are incredibly lucky that no one suffered permanent damage or worse. Why Talia? Why in God’s name would you wanna hurt so many people that you don’t even know? I mean, especially Paul and Chanel. I did it for Colin, but that’s what I don’t understand.

What kinda spell did the sick bastard have you under? Why would you do it? What would make you do this?

Sloan got a DNA sample from Eric. You mean that woman that Eric has been seeing? Yes, she found out that I was pregnant through an unhappy accident, although maybe not so unhappy because she agreed to help me get the samples for the paternity test, and she got a swab from Eric last night. Okay. Well that’s good, but don’t you need to get a swab from EJ as well?

Well, only if this was a legal case and hopefully it will never go there. But Kayla said she only needs one sample for comparison. And if she does have a swab from Eric and the d n A doesn’t match, then, then the baby must be ejs.

Listen, I, I have to go, I’m, I’m meeting Sloan at the park and she’s gonna give me the swab. Okay. Okay. But Nicole, there is one thing I’ve been meaning to ask you. Okay. What is it, Anna? Well, I know I did ask you before if, if you wanted this baby to be Eric’s and you didn’t answer me, so, um, maybe if I ask you a different question, if you find out that this baby is Eric’s, what does that mean for you and ej?

Honestly, I, I’ve been so stressed out about who this baby belongs to. I, I haven’t even thought about it. Well, I can only assume he will be fairly upset. Yeah. Especially since he just told me he loves me. He did right after he proposed,

Eric, what are you talking about? Why wouldn’t I have to take a test? I talked to my mother. I was checking on Abe to see how he was doing or if I could visit him today. Or if the hospital still had restrictions on visitors because of the virus. She had no idea what I was talking about. Okay. Well, maybe she just wasn’t aware.

I mean, Eric, your mother’s been slow. Stop. I know you were lying. You lied to me yesterday. You and Nicole didn’t have to take some test for some non-existent virus. What was that test for?

You’re clearly keeping something from me. I want to know what you gonna call are up to, and you’re gonna tell me right now.

Okay, fine. We are keeping something from you

close pregnant.

Pregnant? Yes.

When were you gonna tell me? She begged me not to.

She’s not sure. She doesn’t even know when she conceived. She doesn’t know if it was. With EJ or the night the two of you got high on those biscuits,

that explains the swab.

Yeah.

I just don’t understand. How did you get involved in this?

I found out Nicole was pregnant because she dropped her prenatal vitamins in front of me, and then I just happened to run into her again after Kayla had given her a paternity test kit. Yeah, she didn’t know how she was gonna get the DNA n a samples from you or EJ without one of you knowing. So I told her I could get one from you, which I did.

BJ proposed. When did this happen? Why didn’t you tell me? Well, because I turned him down. I, I didn’t feel like it was a sincere proposal. Not sincere. Let’s just say EJ started caving to peer pressure. We found out that Stephan. Proposed to Gabby. So EJ started to get worried and soon they would be a couple and it would look like that Stefan had the advantage and you know, more people in the rinks, so to speak.

So EJ thought if he proposed to me, there would be another dememer on his side. At least that’s how I saw it. And you told him that’s how you saw it? Oh yes. I was very blunt. Yeah. Well, I can’t imagine that he reacted well to that.

Actually, that’s when he told me he loved me. Oh, I almost forgot that part. That very important part. So how did you react to that? Do you love ej? Nicole? Look, I told you why I did it. Colin convinced me of how awful Paulina and Chante were and that justified C committed crimes against them because that sick bastard decided that they needed to be punished.

Look, it’s not like I said yes right away. I was against it at first.

But then I saw how much it meant to him, and he said If I truly loved him, then I would do whatever he wanted. Dear God, look, I was afraid of losing him, so you did whatever this guy said because you were afraid that he would leave you. I was in love, Gina. Okay, and when you’re in love, I don’t know. You, you do things that make that person happy, not illegal.

Criminal cruel things. Talia, you’re smarter than that. You are a better person than that. Yeah. Well, apparently not. Jayna. I tried, I I tried to talk him out of it. I swear I did, I promise. But every single time I tried to convince him that what we were doing were wrong and that Paulina and Chanel were actually cut decent people.

I don’t know. He, he would just get mad and I would, I would just drop him. What do you mean? He would get mad. He had a temper and he would accuse me of not caring enough of being a coward. Did he ever get violent with you? Talia? Did he ever hurt you? Answer me, Talia.

That double crossing bitch pushed me off the very Oh, that’s lovely. Double crossing, bitch. That’s how you describe your girlfriend. Huh? I would, just so you know, she’s also been arrested for her. Pardon? Your crimes? My crimes. She’s the one who Tres pointing his office. Who poisoned the biz? Yeah. Well, from what I understand, you’re the one who put her up to all of it.

Is that what she said? I swear I never held a gun to her head. She’s a grown woman and she can make her own decisions. I. Never ever forced her to do a damn thing that she didn’t want to do. Uhhuh. Right. Well, I guess that’s something that two of you can discuss with your lawyers, but uh, right now you got a date with the jail cell.

So, uh, few. Excuse me. I’m gonna see what’s keeping your transfer.

Hey, it’s me, Chanel.

Yeah. Yeah. I I’m your stepdaughter. Uh, you married my mom last year. Paulina Paulina Price. She’s your wife. Look, look, I’ll show you a picture

here. The ceremony was last Juneteenth. It was in the park, and it was such a wonderful ceremony and so full of love surrounded with family and friends. See, there’s mama. She’s beautiful, isn’t she? You remember her now, don’t you?

That woman.

You don’t recognize my mother, your wife. Sorry, I, I, I don’t, and you don’t recognize me either.

Okay. You know what? I am gonna go grab the doctors and I’m gonna tell them you’re awake cuz this might just be effects from the anesthesia. Are gonna leave me alone, Chantel. Chanel and I will be right back.

What? No, Colin never hit me. Well, you just said that he would get mad at you. And, and that’s why you would do the things that he asked of you. Yes. That, that’s true. Colin has a temper. I mean, he’ll even tell you that, but you have to know it’s because his parents died in the most awful way possible. Okay.

And he’s, he’s never recovered from that. So yes, he gets upset when things don’t go his way, and when he did get mad at me, it’s like he was sorry. Almost immediately. He would literally go out of his way to make it up to me, to show me how much he loved me. Like he’d, he’d go get me little presents. He would tell me how beautiful I was to him and how special I was to him.

My God. Snap outta it. Talia, can you please not be mad at me too? Oh God, I’m sorry. Okay. I’m sorry I’m not, I’m not mad at you. I am mad at this situation. I’m mad that I was oblivious to any of this going on. I’m, I’m sad heartbroken. Really? How could I have not known that you have been in an abusive relationship?

Wait, no. I, I literally just told you, Colin never hit me. Like not even once, Talia, you and I both know that there are other kinds of abuse.

Bedford’s discharge papers have been processed and he’s ready to be taken to the station. Oh, Ray Frank. Well, I’m glad you’re here. Yeah. The prisoners in room 10 14. I’ll be there in a few minutes. Yeah. What’s up, Paulina? Wait, is Abe okay? No, then that’s the problem and he, he still hasn’t woken up from his surgery and I, I can’t find Kayla anywhere.

Okay, well, hold on. I’m sure that Kayla is with the patient. Someone here can probably help you find her. Well, even if I do find her, you, uh, I’m almost too scared to even ask about Abe’s condition, you know, almost lost 10 months before, and now with them taking so long to come back to me. Well, I’m just a You don’t, worried I don’t, I’m, I don’t, I don’t.

Paulina. Hi, Paulina. Breathe. Okay. Okay. There you go. Hey. Hey. Keep breathing. All right, Uhhuh. Okay. Better help’s helping. Okay. Good. Okay. Is this help? Oh, yeah, that does. It does. It helps. It does help. Oh, I’m sorry. This happening here too. No, I love that man. I hate that this has happened to him. Listen, no, listen.

The best way that we can help babe. It’s by helping ourselves. Okay. But take care of yourself. Yes. Yes. Okay. Yes, yes, you’re right. I, I do know that. Okay, good. You know, good. And I know the best way that I can help Abe is by finding the bastard that did this to him and making him pay. Yes. All right. So he’s, find someone who can tell you what Kayla is and I’m gonna go do my job.

Okay. All right. Okay. Good. All. Hey, hey. And remember you help babe by taking care of yourself, okay? Yes. All right, babe. Forbes sake.

Hello, you. You are awake. How are you feeling,

Pauline? Excuse me. I know. I don’t know who you are. You’re my wife.

You took a swab of my DNA without me knowing.

How,

what do you think? Come on. You know, you sleep like a rock

now.

Supposed to go deliver this to Nicole? No, don’t. Don’t you have a brother to go see?

But what about Nicole? I can take it from here.

Oh, come on Nicole. Do you love ej? Or am I just being too nosy as usual? No, no. Anna, you are not being nosy. I know you’re only asking because, you know, you’re concerned for me and, and for ej, but it, it’s just, it’s, it’s complicated. Mm-hmm. EJ and I haven’t been back together that long and, and, and like I said, I.

I do care for him and we do have a long history and it obviously, I loved him enough at one time to, to marry him not long ago. And

I’m just, I’m just confused. That’s Holland. I really, I really need to know who this baby’s father is because if, if it is ejs, And Eric’s no longer in the picture then, oh, come on, honey. Honey, why don’t I put the question in another way and maybe it’ll be easier for you to answer. Hmm. Is it Eric that you love?

Oh, sweetie. I’m not trying to put you on the spot, and I hope you know that no matter what I am on your side. I do, I do know that, Anna, but please, can you, can you stop? Asking me questions and, and giving me advice because I just can’t deal with it right now. Oh, I understand. I understand. I, I, I really do need to be going.

Of course, of course. Honey, you are going to be strong. Because you know, no matter what happens, you’re gonna take care of things because you have to, right For the baby.

Thank you. What are you gonna do with that?

My guy said I’ll handle it. You have enough to worry about with your brother?

Yeah. So how to get to the hospital then,

Eric? Yeah. If this child does turn out to be yours,

I really hope it doesn’t change anything between us.

Talia. You know very well that emotional abuse is a real thing, and it sounds to me like that’s how Colin was abusing you.

Based on what? Based on what, how could you ask that this guy had you committing crimes for him and you told me that he had a temper? Uh, I’m not naive. Okay. Like, yes, I know that Colin has done some terrible things, but I mean, he didn’t just do them for no reason. Say that he had a hard life. You know, I believe we had a conversation about this sometime before Natalia, and I believe that I pointed out that a lot of people have had a hard life and they don’t resort to trying to murder people.

In fact, I know a lot of people who have had a hard life, and you know what? It’s made them stronger because they had to fight. They had to be resilient. I mean, Talia, how can you just sit here and be okay and give this man a pass because he had a hard life. So you’re telling me that anything Colin Bedford does is justified?

No, of course not. He could have killed Mayor Carver. He could have killed Paulina and Chanel. Hell, he could have killed me. Look, I know that. Okay. Why do you think that I pushed him off the roof. That is why I was trying to save you. I was trying to save Chanel. I was trying to save Paulina, and I know that I’ve made a lot of excuses for Colin before.

When I saw him point that gun at Chanel Jay, I know she knew I had to do something. I couldn’t just let him shoot her. I could not let her. Mama. Oh, what? Oh, sweetheart, I thought you were staying with Abe. Abe was awake. What? He woke up a few minutes ago. Oh, thank the Lord. Oh, oh, oh. I have to go see him. Okay.

Wait, wait, wait. Before you do, there’s something you need to know. Oh, okay. What is it? Uh, well, when he woke up, he didn’t recognize me. What? Oh, no, honey. Oh, please. Now I’m sure he, he, he’s just confused now. Come on now, let. Here. Let’s go see him together. He didn’t recognize you either. I, I, I showed him your picture and he said he’d never seen you before in his life.

What? No, no, no, no. I’m sure that’s just the drugs talking. Come on, you take me to him right now. Okay.

You’re asking if I’m your wife. Yes.

Now I, I, I’m. I’m not sure. I, I’m sorry. I, I just, oh, I just can’t seem to remember anything.

I, uh, except, except that there was a,

there is a young woman. And, uh, she said, uh, she said that she was your daughter, Chanel. Mm-hmm. Chanel. She, she, she was just in here, just in here,

and she showed me a. She showed me a picture of our wedding. She said we were married a year ago and, and, but she didn’t, she didn’t mention you were a nurse. Oh.

So you don’t remember anything at all? No, not much. Not much. Anyway, I. But your daughter Chanel,

she said I was attacked. Yes, yes, yes, that is correct. You were attacked by a horrible and despicable man, and I don’t see how anyone could hurt anyone As Sweden and kind as you are. Gentle. And the worst part of all is that you’re still in danger. Danger. Why? Because that horrible man is in this hospital right now as we speak.

Oh my darling. Sweet, sweet, Abraham, you are not safe.

Okay.

Listen, let’s just forget about calling Bedford for now. Huh? We need to get you arraign. I hired Bere to represent you. Wait, you got me a lawyer? Of course. What’d you think? I’d abandon you?

You’re my sister. I love you.

I love you too, Jada. And I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry about everything.

Update written by Joseph

Talia sits in the interrogation room with her arm in a sling. Jada enters and brings her painkillers but Talia says she’s fine as Jada removes her handcuffs. Talia asks how Abe is. Jada responds that he’s still in the hospital and recovering from surgery but it looks like he will be okay. Talia is relieved that Colin won’t be charged with murder now.

Colin wakes up in his hospital bed and thinks his nurse is Paulina.

Paulina sits at Abe’s side in the hospital, complaining about waiting for him to wake up. Paulina urges him to open his eyes, noting the surgery was hours ago. Chanel enters the room. Paulina questions why Abe won’t wake up. Chanel encourages that his body just needs time to recover and he should wake up soon. Paulina calls Colin pure evil. Chanel points out that Talia played a big part in this too. Paulina decides she’s going to find Kayla while Chanel stays with Abe.

Sloan is at her apartment with her cheek swab of Eric when she gets a call from Nicole, who questions why she hasn’t called her. Sloan asks Nicole to meet her at the park in an hour. Nicole says she’ll be there and tells Sloan that she’s really grateful that she got the sample from Eric. Sloan repeats that she has a vested interest and she hopes like hell that Eric’s DNA is not a match for the baby Nicole is carrying.

Anna joins Nicole in the living room of the DiMera Mansion and asks if she was able to get a DNA sample from EJ. Nicole says unfortunately no, explaining that EJ got called away on business before he could take the sleeping pill. Anna asks when she expects him back. Nicole doesn’t know but says it doesn’t matter. Anna questions how she will get a sample now. Nicole reveals that she doesn’t have to because Sloan got one from Eric last night.

Eric brings Sloan a sandwich and coffee. Sloan thanks him and says she’s going to take it to go because she wants to go see Colin at the hospital. Eric asks if she’s going to take a test because of the virus outbreak that she and Nicole were going on about. Sloan claims that she called the hospital and they said they got the virus contained, so she doesn’t have to take a test anymore. Eric guesses the truth is that she never had to take a test.

Colin’s nurse asks if he’s saying all black women look alike. Colin explains that he only saw her from behind and he’s a little on edge. She calls him nasty and rude. She says she has some medicine for him even though he doesn’t deserve it after what he did to Abe. Colin offers to ask for another nurse but she says she is his nurse and will heal his body, but he will have to heal his own soul which will take prayer, humility, and repenting for his sins then maybe the Lord will allow him in to Heaven. The nurse then exits the room as Rafe enters.

Jada questions Talia being worried about Colin at a time like this and asks if she’s forgotten where she is and what she did. Jada tells Talia that the only person she needs to worry about right now is herself. Talia knows it’s bad but argues that it’s her first offense so they can’t go that hard on her. Jada tells her that she’s wrong as she just met with Melinda and she plans to throw the book at her. Jada adds that she can’t be surprised since Melinda was one of her victims and ended up in the hospital thanks to her poisoned biscuits and could’ve died. Jada remarks that would’ve been better for Talia because now she has a very pissed off district attorney gunning for her. Jada questions what the hell Talia was thinking.

Chanel sits at Abe’s side and talks about how he doesn’t deserve to be in this bed and he wouldn’t be if she hadn’t gotten involved with Nathan Bedford all those years ago. Chanel says everyone says he took advantage of her but she can’t help but feel responsible because Abe is now paying the consequences. Chanel cries that she’s so sorry for that. Abe then wakes up which excites Chanel, who says she will text Paulina right now. Abe asks where he is. Chanel informs him that he’s in the hospital after being attacked over the head and had to get brain surgery, but now he’s awake and is going to be okay. Abe then questions who Chanel is.

Rafe introduces himself to Colin and says he just wanted him to know that he will be facing a long list of charges including attempted murder, kidnapping, and false imprisonment. Rafe adds that doctors say he’s well enough to be discharged so he has to take him down to the police station where he’ll be booked, officially charged, and taken to a holding cell. Colin asks what about Talia and remarks that the only one that should be charged with attempted murder is her.

Jada asks Talia to help her understand, going over how she graduated at the top of her class and was on track to start an amazing career but she threw it all away to come to Salem to terrorize two people that she didn’t even know. Talia claims she didn’t terrorize them. Jada goes over how Talia trashed Paulina’s office and ruined Chanel’s business while getting half the town sick. Talia says she gets it and feels bad enough as it is. Jada doesn’t think that she does. Jada repeats that Talia is incredibly lucky that no one suffered permanent damage or worse. Jada asks why Talia wanted to hurt so many people that she didn’t even know, especially Paulina and Chanel. Talia responds that she did it for Colin. Jada says that’s what she doesn’t understand and asks what kind of spell he had her under. Jada questions what would make her do this.

Anna questions Nicole about Sloan getting a DNA sample from Eric. Nicole explains that Sloan found out that she was pregnant by accident, but she agreed to help her get the sample for her paternity test and got a swab from Eric last night. Anna asks if she doesn’t need a swab from EJ as well. Nicole says that’s only if it was a legal case and hopefully it will never go there. Nicole adds that Kayla said she only needed one swab, so if the DNA from Eric doesn’t match then the baby must be EJ’s. Nicole says she has to go meet Sloan at the park to get the swab. Anna stops her and reminds her that she didn’t answer when she asked if she wanted the baby to be Eric’s. Anna now asks what it means for her and EJ if she finds out the baby is Eric’s. Nicole says she’s been so stressed out about who the baby belongs to that she hasn’t even thought about that. Anna assumes that EJ will be fairly upset. Nicole says that’s especially because EJ just told her that he loves her, right after he proposed.

Sloan questions what Eric is talking about and why she wouldn’t have to take a test. Eric reveals that he talked to Marlena about trying to visit Abe and he asked about the virus outbreak but she had no idea what he was talking about. Sloan tries to suggest maybe she just wasn’t aware. Eric tells her to stop because he knows she’s lying. Eric argues that she and Nicole didn’t have to take some test for a non existant virus and he questions what the test was for. Eric says she is clearly keeping something from him and he wants to know what she and Nicole are up to. Eric demands that Sloan tell him right now. Sloan gives in and admits they are keeping something from him. Sloan then reveals to Eric that Nicole is pregnant. Eric is shocked and asks when she was going to tell him. Sloan responds that Nicole begged her not to. Eric questions why and if the baby is his. Sloan admits that Nicole is not sure and doesn’t know if it was with EJ or the night she and Eric got high on the biscuits. Eric realizes that explains the swab but he still doesn’t understand how Sloan got involved in this. Sloan explains that she found out because Nicole dropped her pre-natal vitamins in front of her and then she happened to run in to her again after Kayla gave her the paternity test and she didn’t know how to get the DNA samples from Eric or EJ without them knowing, so she told her that she could get one from Eric which she did.

Anna excitedly asks Nicole about EJ proposing and why she didn’t tell her. Nicole reveals that she turned him down because she didn’t feel like it was a sincere proposal. Nicole says that EJ started caving to peer pressure after they found out Stefan proposed to Gabi which caused EJ to worry that Stefan had the advantage and more people in the ranks, so EJ thought proposing to her would mean another DiMera on his side which is at least how she saw it. Anna doesn’t imagine EJ reacted well to that. Nicole responds that it’s actually when EJ told her that he loved her. Anna asks how Nicole reacted to that and if she loves EJ.

Talia tells Jada that she told her that Colin convinced her of how awful Paulina and Chanel were. Jada questions her being justified because Colin decided they needed to be punished. Talia argues that she didn’t say yes right away and she was against it at first, but then she saw how much it meant to him and he said if she truly loved him, that she would do whatever he wanted. Talia cries that she was afraid of losing Colin as she was in love with him and when you’re in love, you do things to make that person happy. Jada argues that you don’t do illegal, criminal, and cruel things. Jada says that Talia is smarter and a better person than that. Talia says apparently not. Talia swears she tried to talk to Colin out of it, but every time that she tried to convince him that Paulina and Chanel are good, decent people, he would just get mad so she would drop it. Jada asks what she means by he would get mad. Talia admits that Colin has a temper and would accuse her of not caring enough or being a coward. Jada asks if Colin ever got violent and hurt her. Jada demands that Talia answer her.

Colin tells Rafe that Talia is the double crossing bitch that pushed him off the roof. Rafe questions that being how he describes his girlfriend. Rafe informs Colin that Talia has also been arrested for her part in his crimes. Colin argues that Talia is the one who trashed Paulina’s office and poisoned the biscuits. Rafe says he understands that Colin put her up to all of it. Colin swears that he never put a gun to Talia’s head and she’s a grown woman so he couldn’t force her to do a damn thing that she didn’t want to do. Rafe guesses they can discuss that with their lawyers, but right now, he has a date with a jail cell. Rafe says he will go check on his transfer and exits the room.

Chanel tells Abe who she is and reminds him of Paulina by showing him a picture of their wedding. Abe says he’s sorry but he doesn’t remember her, claiming he has never seen that woman before in his life. Chanel questions Abe not recognizing her or Paulina. Chanel decides that she will go get the doctors to tell them that he’s awake. Abe questions her leaving him alone. Chanel assures that she will be right back as she exits.

Talia tells Jada that Colin never hit her and that he only has a temper because his parents died in the most awful way possible and he never recovered from that, so he gets upset when things don’t go his way. Talia adds that when Colin did get upset at her, he was sorry almost immediately and would go out of his way to make it up to her and show how much he loved her. Jada yells at her to snap out of it. Talia asks Jada not to be mad at her too. Jada says she’s not, but is mad at the situation and that she was oblivious to any of this going on. Jada feels heartbroken for not knowing that Talia has been in an abusive relationship. Talia repeats that Colin never hit her once. Jada says they both know that there are other kinds of abuse.

Rafe informs the cop at the hospital that the discharge papers are complete and Colin is ready to be taken to jail. Paulina comes over and says she’s glad Rafe is there. Rafe asks what’s up and if Abe is okay. Paulina says that’s the problem because Abe hasn’t woken up from his surgery and she can’t find Kayla. Rafe is sure Kayla is with a patient and that someone can help find her. Paulina admits that she’s almost too scared to ask about Abe’s condition as she worries. Rafe encourages her to breathe as he hugs her which Paulina admits does help. Rafe assures that he loves Abe and hates that this has happened to him, but the best way they can help him is by helping themselves. Rafe reminds Paulina to take care of herself. Rafe knows the best way he can help Abe is by finding the bastard that did this to him and making him pay. Rafe tells Paulina to find someone to tell her where Kayla is while he goes to do his job. Rafe reminds Paulina that it helps Abe to take care of herself as he walks away.

The nurse from Colin’s room enters Abe’s room and he also imagines that she is Paulina, saying that he knows she is his wife.

Eric questions Sloan taking a swab of his DNA without him knowing. Sloan admits she did it while he was asleep and now she’s supposed to go deliver it to Nicole. Eric stops her and tells her that she has a brother to go see, while he can take this from here.

Anna asks Nicole if she loves EJ or if she’s just being too nosy as usual. Nicole knows she’s only asking because she’s concerned for them, but says it’s complicated as she and EJ haven’t been back together that long. Nicole assures that she does care for him and they have a long history. Nicole states that she did love EJ enough to marry him not long ago. Nicole says she’s just confused and really needs to know who the baby’s father is, because if it is EJ then Eric is no longer in the picture. Anna then asks if it’s Eric that she loves. Anna says she’s not trying to put her on the spot and that she’s on her side, no matter what. Nicole asks Anna to stop asking her questions and giving her advice because she can’t deal with it right now. Nicole says she needs to get going. Anna hugs her and encourages her to be strong because no matter what happens, she’s going to take care of things because she has to for the baby. Anna then exits the room as Nicole holds back tears.

Sloan gives Eric the swab and asks what he’s going to do with it. Eric repeats that he will handle it as Sloan has enough to worry about with her brother. Sloan decides she will get to the hospital then. Sloan adds that if Nicole’s child does turn out to be Eric’s, she really hopes it doesn’t change anything between them. Sloan then exits her apartment.

Jada tells Talia that she knows very well that emotional abuse is a real thing and it sounds to her like that’s how Colin was abusing her. Talia questions what that is based on. Jada argues that Colin had her committing crimes for him and he had a temper. Talia argues that she knows Colin has done some terrible things but they weren’t for no reason since he had a hard life. Jada believes they’ve had a conversation like this before and that people with hard lives don’t resort to trying to murder people. Jada encourages that it made people stronger because they had to fight. Jada questions Talia giving Colin a pass just because he had a hard life and asks if everything he does is justified. Jada adds that Colin could have killed Abe, Paulina, Chanel, and her. Talia cries that she knows that and that’s why she pushed him off the roof. Talia says she was trying to save Jada, Chanel, and Paulina. Talia knows she’s made a lot of excuses for Colin before but when she saw him point the gun at Chanel, she knew she had to do something and couldn’t just let him shoot her or hurt her.

Chanel finds Paulina at the hospital and informs her that Abe woke up. Paulina is excited and wants to go see him but Chanel reveals that Abe didn’t recognize her. Paulina is sure that Abe is just confused and suggests they go see him together. Chanel adds that she showed Abe her picture and he said he’s never seen her before in his life. Paulina is sure it’s just the drugs talking and asks Chanel to take her to Abe now, so they walk off together.

The nurse questions Abe asking if she is his wife. Abe apologizes and gets upset as he says he can’t seem to remember anything, except Chanel being in there and showing him a picture of their wedding but he didn’t mention her being a nurse. The nurse questions Abe not remember anything at all which he confirms. Abe brings up Chanel saying that he was attacked. The nurse confirms that he was attacked by a horrible, despicable man and she doesn’t see how anyone could hurt a man as sweet, kind, and gentle as Abe. She adds that the worst part is that he’s still in danger because that horrible man is in the hospital right now as they speak, so Abe is not safe.

Rafe returns to Colin’s hospital room but is shocked by what he finds.

Jada tells Talia to forget about Colin for now as they need to get her arraigned. Jada informs Talia that she hired Belle as her lawyer which surprises Talia. Jada asks if she thought she would abandon her when she is her sister and she loves her. Talia cries that she loves her too and she’s so sorry about everything.

Rafe finds his cop in Colin’s room, now cuffed to the bed with his clothes swapped and questions what the hell happened. He informs Rafe that he went to unlock Colin, but he got the better of him. Rafe can’t believe that Colin got away.

Colin sneaks through the hospital, now in a cop uniform. Sloan arrives so Colin hides around the corner as she walks by. Colin then escapes through the elevator.

Chanel brings Paulina to Abe’s room and tells her not to worry as she’s sure when Abe sees her, it will all come back. They then discover that Abe is gone so Paulina questions where the hell her husband is.

The nurse wheels Abe through the hospital and tells him not to worry because he’s safe with her now as they wait on the elevator.

Nicole prepares to leave the DiMera Mansion and declares that it’s time to find out who her baby’s father is. Nicole opens the door right as Eric arrives.

Update written by Joseph

Gwen works in her room at the Salem Inn when Xander shows up at the door. Gwen questions what he wants and if it has to do with work because she’s busy. Xander says it does and guesses her bad mood is because Kyle at work turned in his resignation and now she’s scrambling to clean up the mess she made. Gwen argues that she only suggested he and his team worked harder while Xander argues that he quit because she cussed him out. Gwen complains that he was looking for a reason to quit since she shoved Jack off of his own paper, which she states she did for Xander. Gwen repeats that she’s very busy and tells Xander to get the hell out so she can pull a new sales manager out of a hat. Xander tells her that she doesn’t have to because he already found one in Chloe Lane. Gwen says over her dead body.

Brady shows up to see Chloe at her apartment and says he’s sorry for not calling before showing up. Chloe mentions already having the pleasure of running in to Kristen. Brady asks if she threatened her or anything. Chloe says no and that it was fine. Brady is sure Kristen will leave her alone now that they are no longer together. Chloe remarks that as always, Kristen got what she wanted. Brady says he doesn’t want to talk about Kristen as he has a proposition for Chloe.

Alex is with Stephanie at her home and they have beers. Alex talks about not having to worry about being clear-headed since he’s unemployed and can work remote. Stephanie still thinks he just needs to give Maggie time to cool down and she will realize how much Titan needs him. Alex says he won’t hold his breath because screwing up that deal for Maggie was the last straw. Alex declares that his career at Titan is over.

Justin enters the living room of the Kiriakis Mansion and welcomes Maggie home. Maggie tells him that Victor is resting as he didn’t sleep at all on the plane. Justin is surprised they came home rather than stay in Greece with Bo. Maggie explains that the doctors are moving Bo to a long term care facility since he’s still in a coma, but they aren’t giving up hope. Maggie says there was nothing they could do there and that was hell for Victor, so she convinced him to come home because seeing Bo like that was hard on him. Justin understands that family is everything. Maggie asks what Justin is doing here since Henderson told her that he and Bonnie were going to Chicago to see Mimi and Emily. Justin responds that Bonnie went but when he heard Maggie was coming home, he decided to stay. Maggie says he didn’t have to do that but Justin states that he did because he had to ask her why the hell she fired his son from the family business.

In Chicago, Rex is working out at home until Bonnie shows up at his door and surprises him. Bonnie says that Mimi told her that it was his day with Emily, so she came to see her grandbaby. Rex says he’s sorry but she’s already asleep. Bonnie asks if she can peek in on her still which Rex allows. The doorbell then rings and Sarah arrives, surprising Rex. Sarah says she’s sorry to show up like this but she has news that she had to tell him in person. Rex says he has news as well. Sarah excitedly tells Rex that after he left, one of their clinical patients had a breakthrough and his immune system is responding just like they predicted it would. Sarah excitedly talks about how great this is until Rex stops her to tell her that Bonnie is there. Bonnie then comes back in and greets Sarah.

Xander argues that they are desperate to replace the position but Gwen says they are not so desperate to hire Xander’s girlfriend. Xander tells her that Chloe is not his girlfriend and they are just roommates. Gwen doesn’t believe him. Xander asks why she’s so interested as he thought she was busy shagging Alex all the time. Gwen reveals that’s over now because Alex ended it and said he wanted to be a better person which Xander calls an impossible dream. Gwen argues that they need someone qualified to work, not an unemployed lounge singer. Xander points out that Chloe ran a successful restaurant and had important jobs with both Basic Black and DiMera Enterprises so she’s more than qualified. Gwen says that she can get a job elsewhere then as she declares they are not hiring her and that’s final.

Brady asks Chloe if he can come in to talk about this. Chloe questions if he wants to come in to check things out, insisting that she and Xander are just roommates. Brady clarifies that he doesn’t want to talk about Xander as he has a business proposition for her. Brady informs Chloe that he wants her to come back to Basic Black.

Maggie understands that Justin is upset with her but says he has no right to use that tone with her. Justin asks what tone he should use when she canned his son over the phone. Maggie responds that Alex didn’t follow direct orders and as a result, they lost a multi-million dollar that was already negotiated and all Alex had to do was close it, but instead he scared him off. Justin argues that Alex didn’t scare him off, the deal did because there were problems in that deal from the start. Maggie guesses that’s Alex’s version of what happened as he’s very good at coming up with excuses. Justin mocks Maggie being a corporate mogul for five minutes and asks who she is to say that Alex isn’t qualified. Maggie guesses that Justin doesn’t think she’s qualified, but Victor does and he agrees about Alex.

Stephanie tells Alex that he’s being too hard on himself as he had no idea how the client would behave at the meeting. Stephanie believes Maggie completely overreacted by firing him. Alex thinks Maggie might have a point. Stephanie goes to get Alex another beer as he apologizes for being lousy company. The doorbell then rings, so Alex answers the door as Chad arrives, looking confused to see Alex there. Stephanie greets Chad with a hug and they kiss, noting how they missed each other. Chad says he got in a couple hours ago, tucked in the kids and came straight here. Stephanie asks him to tell her everything because she was worried. Chad first asks about Alex being there.

Chloe questions Brady wanting her to come back to work at Basic Black. Brady explains that Nicole is working with EJ at DiMera, so he’s all alone and he needs her. Chloe is unsure. Brady promises they will keep everything strictly professional. Chloe says that’s easier said than done. Brady gives his word and says it’s not the same without her. Brady talks about how they work well together and he respects her work. Brady pleads with her but Chloe says she can’t. Brady says if it’s because of Kristen, he’ll beef up security but Chloe says it’s not Kristen. Brady questions what the problem is then. Chloe responds that it’s not a problem, but that she was offered a new job and she will be working at the Spectator with Xander.

Xander reminds Gwen that they run the Spectator as a partnership so she doesn’t get to make unilateral staffing decisions. Gwen assumes they both want the most qualified candidate for the job, so they can put a job notice up and together, they can true the most qualified candidate and Chloe is more than welcome to apply. Xander calls Gwen’s jealousy sad. Gwen argues that she’s not jealous, especially not of Chloe.

Sarah greets Bonnie and questions what she’s doing in Chicago. Bonnie explains that she came to see Mimi and Emily. Bonnie then notices that Sarah is pregnant.

Stephanie explains to Chad that she was at the meeting and knows that Alex was doing everything he could to save the deal. Alex doesn’t think Chad cares. Chad understands that getting kicked out of the family business sucks but laughs about getting fired by Maggie. Stephanie says it’s not funny. Chad agrees and says that’s the worst part as it must have been so damn humiliating. Alex decides to let them have some alone time. Alex thanks Stephanie for the beer and says he appreciates it. Alex agrees that Maggie is the nicest person he’s ever known, so he feels horrible about letting her down. Alex then exits. Stephanie asks Chad if he really had to kick Alex while he’s down. Chad assures that he’ll be fine. Chad then apologizes and says he just got back from Greece where Kate was almost killed, Steve got shot, and Bo is still in a coma so he didn’t have the patience for Alex crying in his beer over a job he never should’ve had in the first place. Stephanie responds that Alex was a guest in her home. Chad questions why, asking how she can forgive Alex after what he did to her.

Maggie tells Justin that she’s running a business and letting Alex go was a business decision. Maggie says she gave him a chance but he didn’t deliver, so she doesn’t think it’s fair for Justin to make it a personal family issue. Justin argues that it’s a family business, so it’s all personal. Justin understands he can be protective of Alex because of his childhood and notes his struggles with relationships with women. Justin mentions Alex being in therapy. Maggie says that doesn’t change the fact that she left Alex specific instructions on how to handle this meeting and he went rogue. Justin understands that Alex blew the deal, but what’s killing him is not that he lost the job, but that he let her down. Justin asks if there is some way that Maggie can give Alex one more chance.

Bonnie talks about Maggie not saying anything, so she had no idea that Sarah was expecting. Sarah reveals that Maggie doesn’t know and no one in Salem does. Bonnie questions why not and then guesses that she doesn’t want anyone to know because it’s Xander’s baby.

Gwen argues that Xander just wants to feed his huge ego by thinking she’s jealous Chloe. Gwen complains that Chloe isn’t qualified for the job. Xander points out that when he showed up, she was desperate for anyone to take the job. Xander insists that Chloe is qualified and that she can start right away like they need. Xander reveals that he already offered Chloe the job so it’s hers and declares that’s the end of it as he’s putting his foot down. Gwen tells Xander to go ahead and hire Chloe, but when it turns out to be a disaster, it will come out of Xander’s profits. Xander says he will go tell Chloe the good news and exits, leaving Gwen frustrated.

Sarah tells Bonnie that she is way off base. Bonnie doesn’t think so and brings up how fast Sarah left town, believing she wanted him out of her life and her baby’s life. Bonnie knows Sarah couldn’t trust Xander with a baby and children are everything to Kiriakis men, so Xander would never leave her alone. Rex argues that Sarah doesn’t need this right now. Bonnie relates to how Sarah is feeling because of her ex husband, but says she really believes Xander has changed this time for the better. Bonnie adds that she could forgive Xander for kidnapping her and Susan. Sarah shouts that this has nothing to do with Xander. Bonnie argues that Xander has a right to know, but Rex steps in and declares that he is the father, not Xander. Bonnie notes that Mimi didn’t tell her they are back together. Rex admits they aren’t, so Bonnie takes it that they had a one night stand. Sarah reminds her of Xander hooking up with Gwen right after she told him their marriage was over, so she slept with Rex on the rebound. Sarah says she got pregnant and they didn’t find out until getting to Chicago. Sarah claims they tried dating but it didn’t work out. Bonnie questions keeping it a secret then. Sarah says she didn’t want Maggie to judge her or tell her that she’s making a mistake. Bonnie doesn’t believe them and says she knows they are lying through their teeth.

Stephanie tells Chad that her mom is back, Marlena is back, and Kate is alive and safe, so she asks if Alex is really what they want to talk about. Chad agrees that he doesn’t want to talk about Alex anymore. Stephanie brings up Chad saving Kate and his new relative, Dimitri. Chad jokes that Dimitri is a very fun guy and sociopathic and egomaniacal like his mother. Chad calls them like James Bond villains and says he doesn’t really want to talk about them either. Chad decides he doesn’t really want to talk at all as they begin kissing onto the couch.

Gwen exits the Salem Inn and runs in to Alex in the town square. Alex says he was just on his way to see her. Gwen asks if he’s rethinking the better person rubbish. Alex says no but he heard a rumor that her ad director quit and he’s now looking for a job. Gwen is surprised and says he has a dream job as she questions why he would ever leave Titan. Alex clarifies that he didn’t leave Titan, he got fired. Gwen calls that unfortunate. Alex brings up that he does have experience in marketing. Gwen tells him that she’s sorry but they just hired a new ad director. Gwen calls it a shame because Alex would’ve been quite good at it. Gwen informs Alex that Xander forced her to hire his roommate as it turns out he wants to spend even more time with her. Alex points out that she doesn’t seem too happy about that. Gwen argues that Chloe is unqualified and makes her skin crawl. Alex remarks that it sounds like her night is going about as well as his. Gwen suggests they could help each other get their minds off of their troubles.

Brady asks Chloe about Xander offering her a job, arguing that he and Gwen stole the paper from Jack and Jennifer. Brady asks how Gwen feels about this. Chloe claims that she’s fine with it. Brady questions if Chloe really wants to be living with Xander and working with him. Chloe admits it’s not ideal. Brady calls Xander a sleaze, but says he’s nothing compared to Gwen, warning that she’s pretty rough on women who rub her the wrong way. Chloe questions why he’s doing this and why where she works is his business. Brady calls Xander and Gwen horrible people who know nothing about running a newspaper. Brady warns that it won’t be long before they tank the Spectator, so he doesn’t want to see her get hurt in the fallout. Xander then comes home and tells Brady to tell them how he really feels.

Rex questions Bonnie not believing them. Bonnie says it doesn’t make sense. Bonnie believes Sarah wanted to have Xander’s baby and got pregnant, before she found out that he was kidnapping people. Rex argues that this is none of her damn business. Sarah thanks Rex for trying but admits it’s not going to work. Sarah then informs Bonnie that she is right that the baby is Xander’s.

Brady guesses he better go. Xander feels he was just getting started. Brady wishes Chloe luck with her new job, feeling that she’s going to need it. Xander remarks that it’s always a pleasure as Brady exits. Chloe questions if that was really necessary. Xander asks if he’s supposed to come home to Brady talking crap about him in his own living room and just take it. Chloe responds that the mature thing to do would’ve been to ignore him. Xander admits maturity has never been his strong point. Chloe asks how Gwen took him offering her a job. Xander informs her that she got the job.

Alex tells Gwen that he doesn’t know. Gwen says she forgot he turned a new leaf, so no more random shags. Gwen asks how that’s working out for him and if he’s becoming the new and improved Alex Kiriakis. Alex says it’s going well and that Marlena is helping him out a lot. Gwen says she’s glad. Alex thanks her and says now all he needs is someone to help him get his career back on track. Gwen wishes him luck and says she’ll see him around. Gwen walks away and then Brady approaches, asking about him needing his career back on track. Brady informs Alex that if he needs a job, he may have something for him because Nicole left and he’s swamped at Basic Black. Alex questions Brady wanting him to come work for him. Brady asks why not. Brady brings up it was Alex’s idea to put and Eric and Nicole on the cover of their magazine and that flew off the shelves, so he has a knack for marketing. Alex isn’t sure if Victor and Maggie would agree. Brady responds that Victor has dangled the CEO at Titan position over all of them for 30 years and the best thing he ever did was get off that treadmill. Brady suggests Alex claim his independence and come work for him.

Maggie tells Justin that she’s given Alex so many chances. Justin insists that this time will be different because he will personally be watching him like a hawk. Justin says that Alex really needs this. Maggie complains that the Kiriakis men don’t give up until they get what they want. Justin says it’s in their DNA and asks if Maggie will think about it. Maggie gives in and agrees to let Alex start tomorrow. Justin thanks her. Maggie swears it is Alex’s last chance. Justin assures that she won’t regret this as he hugs her. Maggie hopes not for all of their sakes.

Chad and Stephanie kiss on the couch until Stephanie gets up to get them beers. Stephanie asks him to tell her about Dimitri. Chad responds that he definitely has DiMera blood in him as he managed to work deals for he and Megan. Stephanie asks about Megan being his half-sister. Chad jokes that apparently his father never wore protection. Stephanie points out that Dimitri is still on the ISA radar, so it’s only a matter of time before he commits another crime and ends up back in there. Chad informs her that it won’t be out there because he’s coming here, adding that he wanted to fly back on the same plane and thinks they are going to be best friends. Stephanie questions what there is in Salem that he could want. Chad says he said family but he didn’t take him at his word. Chad doesn’t think Dimitri is coming to be apart of the family, but to destroy it.

Alex comes home to the Kiriakis Mansion and questions what’s going on as he thought Justin was heading to Chicago. Justin informs Alex that they have some good news as he and Maggie just had a long conversation. Justin announces that Maggie has agreed to give Alex his job back. Alex is shocked. Justin questions Alex not thanking Maggie. Alex says it’s been a weird night and it took him by surprise. Justin explains that he just spent an hour trying to convince Maggie. Alex then informs Maggie of how happy it makes him that she thinks she can trust him again, but he’s not going to be able to take back the job because he has another job since Brady wants him to work for him at Basic Black.

Gwen walks through the town square and runs in to Brady, who asks if she has a minute. Gwen says no after the way he talked to her the last time. Brady mocks her being fragile and then apologizes and says he needs to talk to her about a mutual problem they have that only she can solve. Gwen tells him to go on. Brady brings up Xander offering Chloe a job at the Spectator and he guesses that Gwen thinks it’s a terrible idea like he does which she confirms. Brady guesses he can count on her to stop it from happening but Gwen says she’s sorry as that ship has sailed as she gave Xander permission to hire Chloe. Brady questions why she did that. Gwen says you have to pick and choose your battles. Gwen states that it turns out their exes are going to be spending even more time with each other. Gwen then heads back in to the Salem Inn.

Chloe asks Xander if Gwen is really okay with her coming to work at the Spectator. Xander says that she wasn’t exactly thrilled about it but she gave the green light and will come around when she sees how amazing she is at the job. Xander remarks that the only alternative is Chloe going back to work with Brady and they can’t have that. Xander shakes Chloe’s hand and welcomes her aboard.

Rex questions what Sarah is doing. Sarah tells him that Bonnie is onto them so there is no sense in keeping up the lie. Sarah admits that Bonnie is right that she wanted a baby with Xander, but that was before she found out what he did to Bonnie and Susan and that he was mixed up with Gwen again. Sarah doesn’t want to be married to a man like that and doesn’t want him around an innocent child. Bonnie tries to argue that he’s changed but Sarah states that this isn’t Bonnie’s news to tell, so she has to promise her that no one in Salem can find out that Xander is the father of her baby.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

What do you want? I’m busy and in a swell mood. I see. Yes. Well, I’m working, so if this doesn’t have to do with work, then it does have to do with work, as does your foul mood. I bet. You’re upset because Carl Gottle handed in his resignation. Your Elon Musk managerial style blew up in your face, and now you’re scrambling to fix the mess you made.

Aren’t you? The mess I made, I didn’t bloody sack him. The whiny little tosser quit because you treated him like an incompetent temp. I merely suggested that he and his team work a little bit harder to secure more digital ad buys this quarter. Mm. You cursed him out in front of his entire team. So he walked and now we don’t have an ad sales director.

Look, he was looking for an excuse to quit. He saw my father as walking on water and he saw me as the bitch who shoved him off of his own paper. You are the bitch. You shop jack off his own paper. I did that for you.

Now, as I said, I’m very busy, so if you don’t mind, just get the hell out of here so I can pull a new sales manager out of a out of a hat. You don’t have to. I already found one. What? Who? Chloe Lane. Dead.

Hey. Hey, yourself. I’m sorry for not calling. Before showing up. Well, if you’re here to tell me that, Kristen’s out of prison. I already had the pleasure of running into her. It was a really nice surprise. Uh, did she threaten you or anything? No, it was fine. Okay. Okay, good. I’m sure she’ll be leaving you alone now that we’re no longer together.

Yeah. As always, Kristen got what she wanted. Well, I don’t wanna talk about Kristen. Listen, I uh, I have a proposition for you.

Thank you. Mm-hmm. You know, looking on the bright side like I always do, there’s a real upside to unemployment. Mm. And that would be, I don’t have to worry about keeping a clear head in the morning, cuz even hungover, I can still work the remote. Mm. Well, I still think you need to give Maggie some time to cool down and to see that Titan needs you.

Yeah. Well, I’m not gonna hold my breath screwing up that deal from Maggie. That was the last straw. Sad fact is my career at Titan is over.

Hi. Welcome home. It’s scared to be home. Victor’s, uh, he’s resting. He didn’t sleep at all on the plane. Yeah. I was surprised when I heard you were coming home. I thought you’d wanna stay on in Greece with Bo The doctors are moving him to a long-term care facility, so he’s still in a coma. Mm-hmm. We’re not giving up hope, though.

Of course not. You know, there’s just really nothing we could do there. And the thing is, for Victor not being able to do something was hell. I know that. So I finally convinced him to come home. Sing Bo like that. Hmm. It was hard on him. I understand. Family is everything. So what are you doing here?

Henderson told me that you and Bonnie were going to Chicago to see Mimi and, and Emily. Yes. Uh, Bonnie went. But um, when I heard you were coming home, I decided to stay here. You didn’t need to do that. Yes, I did because I needed to ask you why the hell you fired my son from the family business.

Surprise. Hello buddy. How I would’ve called, but I didn’t want You have to come up with an excuse, huh? So you, yeah. Well, I’m up to see Mimi and Emily and Mimi. Tell me tonight was your night with Emily and what were you doing just now You look like you’re about to audition to replace Captain America. I’m just working out.

Huh, soon as to be working for you. Well enough about you. Where’s Emily? Oh, let me get my sweet grand baby. I know. I’m so sorry. It’s late and she’s already asleep. Oh, darn it. Yeah. So, um, sorry you wasted the trip. Well, can, can I, can I just take a peek at her please? I won’t wake her up. Please listen. Okay.

Okay. I just. A peak, Ken’s first bedroom on your right. Oh, you’re a adult. Thank you. Thank you. Thank

about Grand Central Station.

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

Sarah wasn’t expecting you. I, I’m so sorry to show up like this, but I have news and I just, I had to tell you one person. Yeah, I have some news too, so, okay, so when you left, One of our patients in our clinical trial had a breakthrough. His immune system is responding just as we predicted it would. Really?

Yes. I ran the test three times and we did it. We did it. Oh my God, that’s so great. But listen, you, you have this, this is gonna change the way that we treat infectious diseases, Sarah. Bonnie’s here. Sarah Horton. Is that you?

Over my dead body. Come on Gwen. You’re desperate. We have to replace got bay s a desperate, not so desperate, to the point where we resort to hiring your girlfriend. Chloe’s not my girlfriend. We’re just roommates. Yeah, right. Well, you’re so interested in what’s going on with me and Chloe. I thought you were busy shagging Alex all the time.

Wow. Well that’s over now. He ended it. He indeed. Yeah. Something about. Wanting to be a better person or something. I don’t know. It’s all about the impossible dream. Look, if we can just go back to talking about what we were talking about. We need a qualified, seasoned sales professional to replace Gotley, not some outer work, bloody lounge singer.

Close an opera singer. Oh yeah. That changes everything, doesn’t it? Singing La Traviata isn’t exactly an MBA in three years experience like we are looking for, Chloe ran a successful restaurant and she’s had important jobs at Basic Black and Amara Enterprises. She’s more than qualified. Oh, brilliant. Well then she can get a job elsewhere, can’t she?

Because we are not hiring her at the Spectator. And that’s final.

Do you mind if I come in so we can talk about this? Do you wanna come in to talk about things or do you wanna come and check things out? How many times do I have to tell you? Xander and I are just, we’re all close. I don’t wanna talk about Xander. I don’t care about Xander. Okay. I have a business proposition for you.

I want you to come back to Basic Black.

I understand you’re upset with me. But you have no right to use that tone with me. What tone should I use? You canned my son over the phone because he didn’t follow direct orders, and as a result we lost a multimillion dollar deal, a deal that was already negotiated and all he had to do was close it. But what he did in reality was scare the client off.

Alex didn’t scare him off the deal. Did there were problems in that deal from the start? Really? Well, I guess that’s Alex’s version of what happened. He’s very good at coming up with excuses. It’s the other part of the job that he’s having trouble with. Hmm. So that’s your call, right? You’ve been a corporate mogul for all of what, five minutes.

Who are you to say that Alex isn’t qualified? Hmm. And there it is. That’s it, isn’t it? You don’t think I’m qualified? Well, the fact is, Victor die. And by the way, Justin, he agrees with me about Alex. Alex, you’re being too hard on yourself. You had no idea how the client was gonna behave at that meeting.

Maggie completely overreacted by firing you. He really thinks so. Yeah, I do. I think she might have a point here. You’re impossible. Do you want another beer? Yes, please. Thank you, and I’m sorry for being such a rotten company. Maybe uh, maybe you can talk to Dr. Evans about that. Yeah, I’ll get it.

Hi honey, I’m home.

Chad, you’re back. Hey. Yeah. I got in a couple hours ago. I talked to the kids and uh, came straight here.

I really missed you. Same. Tell me everything. I was worried. Uh, first Alex to, uh, what do we owe? The pleasure.

You want me to come back to work at Basic Block? I do. Look, Nicole is working with EJ at Damara. All right. And I’m all alone over there. And, I need you, Brady. I’m not sure. Wait, I promise if you come back, we’ll keep everything strictly professional. That’s easier said than done. You have my word on it. Look, it’s not, look, it’s not the same over there without you.

You know that we work well together. And you know that I respect your work and your work ethic and what you do over there at the base of black office. So come on, just please tell, say you will, Brady. I’m, I’m sorry, I can’t, if if it’s Kristen, don’t worry about it. I’ll beef up security. No, it’s not. Kristen, what’s the problem then?

It isn’t a problem. It’s just that I was offered a new job. I’ll be working at the spectator.

What is Xander?

Uh, the way I understand it. We run the spectators as a partnership. You don’t get to just make unilateral staffing decisions. You know what? You are absolutely right. We do run this business together, don’t we? And so that means I assume that we both want the most qualified candidate for the job. Is that right?

Right, right. So perfect. Then you and I can put a job notice up and then together we will choose the most qualified. Candidate for sales marketing director and Chloe is more than welcome to apply. It’s actually kind of sad. What is your jealousy? Just the thought of seeing Chloe and I working together is making you greener with envy than she hawk, isn’t it?

Oh God. For God’s sake, I am not jealous. Especially jealous of Chloe Bloody lane. Yeah, just keep telling yourself that,

Sarah. Aren’t you gonna turn around and say hi? Oh. Funny. Frankton told you were here. You didn’t let me. Oh, what are you doing in Chicago? Well, I came up to see Mimi and Emily and I’m sorry, but that handbag isn’t fooling anyone. One, there’s no luggage picking up to hide the fact that you’re knocked up, sweetie.

And like I said, I was at the meeting so I know that Alex was doing everything he could to save the deal. Yeah, I don’t think he really cares for stuff. Oh, man. No, no. I, uh, I realized that getting kicked out of the family business, man, it sucks, but damn What I mean, getting fired by Maggie. And they’d be like getting canned by, uh, Glen to the good witch.

It’s not funny. No, it’s not. It’s actually, that’s the worst part about it, is it’s just, it must have been so damn humiliating. You know, I’m gonna let you guys, uh, have a little alone time. Uh, thank you again. Stuff for the beer, Alex. Appreciate it. No, no, no. You know. No, you know what? He’s right. He’s, he’s right.

Maggie is just about the nicest person I’ve ever known. Yes. I just feel horrible about letting him down.

Okay. Did you really have to kick the guy while he is down? Okay. He’ll be fine. Trust me. What? Okay. Look, I’m sorry, I just, I just got back from Greece where Kate was almost killed, or your father was shot and Bob Brady is still in Tacoma. So, you know, I’m, I’m, I’m sorry if I don’t have the patience to come in here and, and see Alex pretending to cry in his beer over a job that, quite honestly, he never should have had in the first place.

He was a guest in my home. Why? I’m Stephanie. How can you forgive him after what he did to you?

Justin, I’m running a business letting Alex go. What’s a business decision? He asked me to give him a chance. I gave it to him regretfully, but he didn’t deliver. I don’t think it’s fair of you. To make this a family issue, to make it personal. This is a family business, Maggie. It’s all personal. Okay. Look, I understand that I can be a little protective of Alex.

Adrian and I did our best to keep things steady for him at home. But Angelica would swoop in and swoop out and I mean it’s, it’s no wonder that he seems to struggle in his relationships with women. In his personal life and in the workplace he’s in therapy. I’m sure you’re aware of that. Yes, he told me, but it doesn’t change the fact that I left him specific instructions on how to handle this meeting and he went rogue.

Okay, Maggie, look, I understand that Alex blew this deal by going rogue as you put it. But what’s killing him? It’s not that he lost the job, it’s letting you down. So isn’t there just some way that you can just give him one more chance?

Remind me to never play poker with Maggie. She sure knows how to keep her cards close to her. Vesta had no idea you were expecting, sweetie. Yeah, that’s cuz uh, she. Doesn’t know no one in Salem does. Oh, why not? You don’t have to answer that. You don’t want anyone to know because it’s Santa’s baby, isn’t it?

That’s what you wanna think. Isn’t it because it would already feed your huge ego to think that I’m jealous of Chloe la, which I am not. I don’t wanna hire that bloody dullard of a woman because she’s not qualified for the bloody job. And yet when I showed up here, you were desperate to get some anyone.

In place. I guess she just meant anyone but Chloe. Huh? Anyone who is qualified. She has qualified and she can start work immediately. Gwen, we don’t have time to recruit and screen candidates. I’m putting my foot down. I offer Chloe the job. It’s hers. End off

fine. Hire her. But when this turns out to be an absolutely unmitigated disaster, it’s coming outta your half of the profits. Agreed. You know, it is a pleasure as always, hashing things out with you partner. I’ll go tell Chloe the good news. Run along. Do that.

Bonnie, you’re way off face here. Oh, I don’t think so. Look how fast you left town after you found out Xander was up to his old tricks. You wanted him out of your life and out of your baby’s life too. No, you, you don’t understand, you know, you couldn’t trust him when there’s a baby. And you know how Kira, cuz men are, their children are everything to them.

And Xander would never leave you alone. Bonnie. She doesn’t need this right now. Okay? Trust me, honey. I know what you’re going through better than anyone. My ex-husband was a complete piece of work. But listen, I really truly believe that Xander has changed this time, the better. And if I could forgive him for kidnapping, me and Susan, this has nothing to do with Xander.

Yes, it does. Honey, he has every right to know that he’s the father of this baby. There’s nothing to do with Xander because he’s not the father. I.

You’re the father. Mm-hmm. Yes I am. Mimi didn’t tell me you too. Were back together because we’re not. So you had a one night stand? Um, Bonnie. Do you remember when I found out that Xander had hooked up with Gwen Right after I told him that our marriage was over? Yeah. Well, um, I slept with Rex on the rebound and I ended up pregnant.

We didn’t find out until we moved to Chicago and yeah, we, we tried dating, but it didn’t work. Oh, okay. So Forex as the father, why keep it a secret, especially from Maggie? Especially from her. I said I didn’t want her to judge me or tell me that I was making a mistake. You know how my mom can be. Yeah.

Forgiving and open-minded and sweet as the day is long. Sounds like you don’t believe us because I don’t, cuz I know you two are lying through your teeth,

John. My mom is back. Marlena is back. Kate is alive and safe. Is Alex really what we wanna talk about? No. Okay, so then can we please just rewind, I don’t want to talk about Alex anymore. It’s not like there’s nothing else that we can talk about.

You saved Kate, and I understand that you have a new relative, Dimitri Von Leischner, isn’t it? Yeah, he’s a very fun guy. He’s a lot like his, his mother, um, sociopathic . Him and his mom are, uh, They, like James Vaughn owns Mm, I don’t really want to talk about them either. Mm. In what the, uh, stock market, the Cubs,

uh, I don’t really want to talk about any that stuff. I, um,

Hey Glen. Hey. How yourself, oh, you think maybe you could hold up a minute? I was actually on my way to see you. Oh. You, um, rethinking all of that better person rubbish. Hmm. No, but I did hear a rumor that your ad director quit. And the thing is, I happen to now be looking for a job. A job. Mm-hmm. You have a job, you have a dream job.

Why would you ever leave Tyson? Well, I didn’t leave Titan. I got fired. Oh. Oh, that’s unfortunate. It is unfortunate. But as you know, I do have experience in marketing and I’m a damn good salesman. So yeah. Maybe Alex, I’m so sorry, but we’ve just hired a new ad director already. Yeah, it’s a shame too, because you would’ve been, you would’ve been quite good.

But, um, Zander’s forced me into hiring his roommate. Turns out he wants to spend even more time with her. You don’t really seem too happy about that? Well, aside from the fact that the person in question is unqualified inci and absolutely makes my skin crawl, no. Yeah, I’m thrilled. Hmm. Well, it sounds like you’re knight and is going just about as well as mine is.

Yeah. Sounds like.

Uh, maybe, maybe you and I could, I dunno, help each other get our minds off of our troubles.

So Xander offered you a job at Jack and Jennifer’s paper. It’s Xander and Gwen’s paper now. Yeah. Yeah, because they stole it. How does Gwen feel about all this? Gwen, she’s, she’s fine with it. Is this really what you want? I mean, you really want to be living with him and working with him. I’m not saying it’s ideal.

Ideal, Chloe, my God. I mean, Xander’s Ale, but he’s nothing compared to Gwen. I mean, you might want to consider hiring a food taster if you go to work for her. I heard she’s pretty rough on women who rub her the wrong way. Oh my God. Why are you doing this? And what business is it of yours where I’m working, Chloe?

They’re not only horrible people. They know nothing about running a newspaper. It’s not gonna be long before they tank the spectator, and I don’t want to see you get hurt in the fall out. Tell us how you really feely.

Sounds like you don’t believe us because it doesn’t make any sense. You two are doctors. You do know where babies come from. Even doctors have accidents. See, I don’t think it was an accident. I think you wanted to have a baby. Sanders’s baby, and I think you got pregnant with Sanders before you found out he was running around town kidnapping people in a damn clown city.

All you enough, this is none of your damn business.

Thank you for.

It’s not gonna work.

You’re right. Okay. The baby is.

Hello Xander. Guess I better go. Oh, no, no. Stick around. I get the feeling. You’re just getting started. You know Brady. Brady don’t. Okay. Okay. Um, Good luck with your new job. I have a feeling you’re gonna need it pop by anytime. It’s always a pleasure. Was that really necessary? What? Come home to find him talking crap about me in my living room.

I’m just supposed to take it. The maturing thing would’ve been to ignore him. Trudy’s never been my strong point. Has it? Yeah. I’ve noticed. Speaking of mature and rational people, how did Gwen take you? Offering me a job? Well, I think you should be more careful how you speak about one of your new employers.

Are you serious? What did I tell you? You’ve got the job,

Gwen. Um, I don’t know. Yeah, I forgot. You’ve turned a new leaf, haven’t you? No more random shags. How’s that working out for you? By the way? Are you down the road now to becoming the new and improved Alex Kakkis? It’s going well. Actually, Dr. Evans is helping me out a lot. That’s good. I’m glad. Mm. Well, thank you.

Now all I need now is somebody to help me get my career back on track. Yeah, well good luck with that and I will see you around or not. You’ll see me around.

Did I hear somebody say they needed to get their career back on track? Oh, there he is. It’s up. Brady, I didn’t hear you coming in. I wasn’t. He was dropping. But um, if you need a job, I may have something for you. Nicole left. I’m swamped at basic plaque. You want me to come work for you? Yeah. I mean, why not?

Look, it was your idea, right? To put Eric and Nicole on that cover to launch our new collection and that thing flew off the shelves. I think you, you got a natural knack for marketing. Well, I don’t know if Uncle Vic and Auntie Mag would agree with that. I’ll tell you about Grandpa Vic. For 30 years, he has dangled that c e o Titan position over all of us.

Hmm, I get carry on a stick. The best thing I ever did is get off that treadmill. Why don’t you declare your independence and why don’t you come work with me?

Justin, I’ve given Alex so many chances. I know, but this time. Will be different because I personally am gonna be watching him like a hawk. Becky. He really needs this. Ah, you carry us men. You just don’t give up until you get what you want. It’s in our dna. N So you’ll think about this? No, no, no. Okay. You win.

He can start tomorrow. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. This is his last chance. I swear, absolutely. You’ll not regret this. Oh, I hope not For all of our.

Thirsty. Oh, am I parched?

So tell me about this Dimitri guy. Well, thank you. He got here. He, um, he definitely has damara blooding him. He, uh, he managed to burn hostages from Unity, not only for himself, but for him and his mother. Who’s your half sister, right? Megan Hathaway. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Apparently my, uh, my father never wore protection.

So back to this Dimitri guy, maybe he got immunity, but he’s still on the issa’s radar. It’s only a matter of time before he commits a crime somewhere out there. And yeah. And then he loses his immunity. No, no, no. Not out there. He’s coming here to Salem. What? Oh yeah. I didn’t tell you that. Yeah, he wanted to fly on the same plane back here.

He thinks we’re gonna be best friends, but why? What’s there in Salem? He could want, I know. Family. At least that’s what he says. I mean, you didn’t take him in his word. No, I didn’t. No, I don’t, I don’t think he’s here to be a part of the family. I think he’s, uh, coming here to destroy it.

Dad thought you’re going to Chicago. What’s going on? Well, we have some good news, Maggie and I just. Had a long conversation and she has agreed to give you your job back. Really? Wow. That’s all you can say. Nothing like, thanks and Maggie, that’s so nice of you. Well, I’m sorry dad. It’s just been kind of a weird night.

It took me by surprise. When it rains and pours. Hey Alex. I just spent the better part of an hour trying to convince Maggie that you’re not a flake. So for me, can you just try not to act like one? Right.

Well, auntie Mag, I can’t tell you how happy it makes me that you think you can trust me again, but I’m not gonna be able to take back the job. What? Why not? Well, this just happened, but I have another job. Brady wants me to work for him at Basic Black

Minute. Hey, you have a minute. No, not after the way you talked to me the last time I had the pleasure. I’m sorry. I didn’t know you were that fragile. That was uncalled for. Sorry. Sorry. Cut. Go Gwen. Please. Please. I need to talk to you about a mutual problem that we have that only you can solve. Go on. I know you know that Xander offered Chloe a job at The Spectator, and my guess is you think that’s a terrible idea just like I do.

Yes, I do. Good. Then I can count on you to stop it from happening. Yeah. Sorry mate. That ship has sailed. I gave Zander permission to hire her. Oh my. Why did you do that? I dunno. You have to pick and choose your battles, both in life and in business, you know? So it turns out our exes are gonna be spending even more time with each other.

So Gwen is really okay with me coming to work at the Spectator. Well, she’s not exactly thrilled about it, but she gave the green light and she’ll come around when she sees how amazing you’re gonna be at the job. Plus, the only alternative is you go back to working with Brady and we can’t have that, can we?

I suppose we can’t. So welcome aboard Ms. Lang.

Sarah, what are you doing?

She’s onto us and there’s no sense in keeping of a lie.

You’re right. I did want a baby with Xander.

But that was before I found out what he did to you and Susan and before I found out that he was mixed up with Gwen Riz check again. I don’t wanna be married to a man like that, and I sure as hell don’t want him around an innocent child, Sarah. No, but nothing. Bonnie, this isn’t your news to tell. You have to promise me no one in Salem can find out that Xander is the father of my baby.

No one.

Previously on Ride, you don’t like the fact that Misty and I are getting close.

There’s Abel, you got all that memorabilia and it could be put to good use. We need to find an investor who believes in the possibilities like we do. How did you know? My husband? You don’t wanna know. Did he cheat on me? You are more than good enough. You took him from me. I just wanna know why

Recap written by Michele and Cheryl

Tony was about to make an announcement to EJ. Anna thought about telling Tony about Nicole’s pregnancy. She blurted out that she couldn’t let Tony finish. She said that he was drunk. She couldn’t let him say anything that he would regret later. The family wanted to hear what Tony was going to say. Tony looked at Anna and decided to tell EJ that he was proud of the job he did at the company. He told Kristen and Megan that they should support EJ. Anna took him with her so they could talk in private. Eric saw Nicole and Sloan at the hospital and wanted to know what was in the box Nicole was holding. Sloan told him that it was a medical test kit. Nicole lied about a virus and said everyone had to test negative before they could visit patients. Nicole told him that she let Sloan use hers so she could visit her brother. Sloan advised Eric to take the test so he could visit Abe. Tony let Anna know that he wasn’t going to tell Nicole’s secret. He wanted to support EJ. Anna apologized for doubting him. He felt like EJ had a right to know the truth. EJ wanted to know what he had a right to know. Tony lied and said Anna was worried about his feud with Stefan. EJ thanked him for always having his back. Stefan and Gabi tried to get Megan and Kristen to take their side. Megan wanted to know what they could do for her. Stefan would welcome her into the family. He said EJ wouldn’t do that for her. EJ walked in the room and said that wasn’t true. EJ was willing to give her the master suite. Kristen reminded him that she was locked up too. EJ told her that Megan had seniority. Kristen didn’t want to accept his offer since he stabbed her in the back.

Eric didn’t want to take the test. He wanted Sloan to use it so she could see her brother. He said he would meet her at home. Nicole and Sloan went back and forth about their plan not working. They argued over the fact that Eric could be the father of her baby. Sloan hoped that he wasn’t the father. Tony didn’t like lying to EJ. Anna felt like they had to be careful about anyone overhearing them talk about the pregnancy. Nicole walked in and thought EJ knew about the pregnancy. Anna assured her that EJ didn’t know the truth. Nicole promised to reveal the truth once she got the results from the paternity test. She wanted to know how she could swab EJ’s cheek without him knowing about it. Anna gave her sleeping pills to use on him. Nicole saw Megan and Kristen at the mansion. She was surprised to see Kristen out of prison. She went to EJ and wanted to know why he was letting his sisters live there. He told her that he was doing it for the votes. He didn’t think he was doing a great job getting their votes. Nicole suggested he take a pill to help him go to sleep. EJ was about to take the pill when he got a phone call. He had to leave. Nicole was frustrated that her plan didn’t work. Eric and Sloan were in bed. He was asleep so Sloan took out the swab. She leaned toward him. She called Nicole and told her that she had the sample in her hands. Nicole was relieved because she would find out the truth soon enough.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

This seat taken cowboy? Yes. I’m waiting on my dates. Oh, Wilson. She or he or they isn’t or aren’t here yet. Perhaps you’d like to give Lady Whistleblower the inside scoop on your recent family drama. What recent drama haven’t you heard? You’re indefatigable, auntie Kristen. I think that’s the appropriate adjective.

Bit of a mouthful. But anyway, she was released from prison. What again? What did, did she get another pardon? Mm-hmm. Immunity. It’s like a revolving door with her, isn’t it? One minute she’s in. The next minute she’s out. But that is boring. Boring and old news. I am way more interested in your other Aunt Megan Hathaway.

I think it’s long overdue that I take the family name. After all, I’m not a half the way. The purpose of that name was served long ago. I am now claiming to be a dememer completely and entirely,

uh, here, here. To Megan Dira. Cheers. Cheers. Thank you both for your lovely words on behalf of the family and now ej. That is something I’d like to say to you.

Well, fine. You figured it out. You’re a genius. Okay, but please, Tony. You can’t tell a soul. No. Tony, I can’t let you do this.

Hey, you. How you doing here? It’s nice to see you. Yeah, you too. I knew you’d be tending to your brother most of the day, so I thought I’d stop by and see if you needed anything. That’s very sweet of you, but I’m okay. And Collin is, he’s fine too. Good. So what are you two up to? Hmm? What do you mean? Well, when I came around the corner, I found the two of you with your heads together that seemed to be very interested in that box.

So what’s in it? It’s a medical test kit. A a test for what?

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

A test for a virus. A a virus. Yes. There was an outbreak on the 10th floor. I mean, it’s contained now, but to protect all the other patients from getting it, the visitors for the next 24 hours have to test negative before they let ’em in. Wow. That’s crazy. Yeah. So I, I was gonna share one of my tests with Sloan.

You know, since the hospital is low on supply, otherwise she wouldn’t. Be able to see your brother and as generous as Nicole’s offer is. I, I have to decline because I, I really think you should. No, you should have that test, Eric. Me. Why? Because me carver’s a family friend. I mean, despite my own feelings about his family, I’m sure you’d like to visit him.

What do you think, Nicole? Yeah, I, I think it makes sense. Yeah. You know what, Eric, why don’t you take a test right now and I’ll bring it straight to the lab.

Anna Wooden Gold’s name is wrong with you. I think she’s been guzzling too much wine at the bar again, excuse you. I am perfectly sober. My husband, on the other hand, obviously knocked back one too many at the bistro. What I’ve seen so sober as a judge to me. Well, that’s because I am, well, Kristin, you don’t know him like I do.

He’s obviously. Sous love Billy’s sake, and when he gets like this, he makes unwise decisions and I wouldn’t want him to say anything that he will regret later. Damn it, Anna. Anna, I think it’s adorable that you’re so protective of Tony, but we’re all family here and we should feel free to say whatever we want to each other.

Absolutely. You have the floor brother.

So tell me about Auntie May. I heard everyone thought she kicked the bucket in a hot tub incident back in the eighties. You’re asking the wrong guy. I’ve, I’ve never even met the woman. Hey, sorry, I’m looking for this slate. Hey, that’s okay. Wait a minute. Your Johnny’s date. Yes. Why?

I just assumed it would be Chanel Dupree.

What the hell, man? Like I told you before, there is nothing going on between Chanel and me. It’s history. Well, history has a way of repeating itself, so the engagement is definitely off. Oh, for God’s sake, it was never on. All right. I’m dating Wendy. Okay. My mistake. It is just so hard to keep up with things around here.

People change partners the way they change underwear. And speaking of flip flopping shin, did you really believe Johnny’s? I was high on Biscuit story. Well, Johnny wouldn’t lie to me, so yes I did. Not that it’s any of your business. So you believe he only has eyes for you? She believes it because it’s true.

Oh, that is so sweet. Too bad my shin doesn’t feel the same way. What the hell? What are you squawking on about now? My spies. Uh, Sources tell me that Ms. Shin ran off to Seattle to be with Trip Johnson, but since you’re back here now back to knock him back with this fine chap, does that mean that you’ve dumped the Good Doctor?

Was his bedside manner lacking? Oh my God, no. Of course not. Okay, so it’s double your pleasure. Double your fun. You little makes.

Well, what is it you wanted to tell me, Tony?

To be perfectly honest, I thought you deserved a toast in your honor as well, Jay, A toast or a roast, because I completely agree on the roast. I, I’ll get it started. I said a toast. Over the last seven months. Ejs done a tremendous job as c e o. You mean as Co c o Stefan, we all know that you’ve been promoted recently, but I’m talking before that.

EJ was doing very nicely on his own. As a matter of fact, under his leadership, Demer Enterprises has attained tremendous heights. Ah, you are right, Anna. He’s completely wasted. Sorry, just Megan, you haven’t been around to witness the ups and downs of Demira over the years, but trust me when I say that ej.

Is best suited for the job and it would be wise of you to wholeheartedly support him. You as well, Kristin, quite an endorsement. Indeed. Perhaps it would be prudent to just skip the actual toast. You’ve made your point, Tony. Ej. Artie thinks she’s the second coming. Tony, darling. Now that you’ve said your peace, may I have a word with you in private, why make a.

Come darling.

Well, I can see that Anna is still quite the drama queen. Tony, what were you thinking? I asked you not to tell EJ about Nicole’s pregnancy, and yet you were ready to blab that news in front of everyone. Oh, heaven’s sake. I’m just gonna do nothing in the sort. Oh, don’t play innocent with me. I’m just glad I got you to back down.

And thank God you came up with that cover story, Anna. You know, if you would just calm down and listen to me for a change. It was not a cover story. I said what I intended to say in the first place. Oh, you did? Did you? Yes. There’s a power struggle going on in there between EJ and Steph. I’m fine for my sister’s votes.

I just wanted to make it clear that I support ej. Really? Yes. Really. So you were not planning to expose Nicole’s secret? No, I was not. But you almost did that on your own.

Yeah. Thank you. But no, it wouldn’t be right. I. Tests seem to be scarce, so I’d much rather slow down it. Oh look, I was with my brother earlier. Really? I can’t wait to see him, but you shouldn’t have to as much as I’d like to see am I think it’s more important that you’d be with your family. Okay. If you insist.

I, I do listen. How about I just meet you back at your place? Great. Okay. I’ll see you too later.

Damn. Well it was a good idea I that it failed miserably and now we’re back to the same problem. This is not a problem. It’s. It’s impossibility. Try getting a cheek swab from someone without explaining to them why. Look, Sloan Moon is forcing you to help me. You can still back out. No, no. I’ve invested interest in this too.

Obviously, since my boyfriend can be your baby daddy.

I pray to God he’s not

okay. I am sorry. I doubted you sweetheart. There’s nothing new there. Oh, come on. Give me a break. I mean, when we were at the bistro, you seem to be on the fence about it and I had just promised Nicole that I wouldn’t tell a soul that she would, you know, in the family way. I still don’t feel right about this, and I’m still on the fence as you put it.

EJ has a right to know, a right to know what.

Look, you’re making Wendy very uncomfortable. Okay? Oh, come on. I’m just having fun with her. No, you are making fun of me. There’s a big difference, sweetie. Relax. Everybody loves a good love triangle. Just ask Olivia Wild. She hasn’t been this relevant since well ever. Okay. Can you make him go away please? So tell me, did you serve your special salad dressing to trip Johnny?

Both. I don’t know what that means, but if you print a word of this, I will hack into all of your accounts and make your life a living hell. Good thing I make a point to always delete my search history. Oh, good thing. Nothing on a computer is ever really deleted. There’s no need to get Tessie. Honey. I am on your side.

On my side. Well, how the hell are you on my side? Because I sympathize with your conundrum. God, I love that word. Anyway, I understand why you are torn between these two men. They are both super hot, although I would say that trip probably has a slight advantage. No, just shut up. Okay. He’s a successful doctor.

Good with his hands. Valuable member of society. Where’s Johnny here? I mean, even though he is swimming in Dir, money is basically just in. Out of work, Dante. Oh, okay. Well that’s, it looks like I lost, struck the nerve now. Okay. Hey, I heard that Gabby and your brother filed for divorce. Please feel free to give Lee my number.

And is it true that Gabby and Stephan are already engaged?

I said I wouldn’t trust a word. Tony says, uh, not only does he have a screw loose, he’s completely biased. It’s basically e j’s lap dog. Yeah, I mean, have you seen the way these two fawn over each other? It’s nauseating. I mean, it’s like, come on, get a room. It’s a big crass considering they’re brothers. I didn’t mean it literally, they’re not related by blood.

By the way, let’s not forget that Tony’s the gardener son, not to mention he’s hooked up with one of his siblings. You mean Renee? Actually, I was talking about Kristen, you and Tony. Relax it, uh, was more or less an arranged marriage set up by father, and the man that I married turned out to be Andre. Kevin, eventually you did marry Tony when you were pretending to be Nicole, and as I recall, you use that marriage of convenience to seize control at Dera.

But that’s fine. That’s forgiven and forgotten. Well, obviously not forgotten. However, we would love to work with you two very impressive sisters to ensure our family and the company’s very bright future. But to do that, we need to have Stephan solely in charge of Dara because, because he is more in tune with the.

Today’s modern world in either one of his brothers, so trust us. If you want Damara to thrive for decades to come, you need to back my brilliant fiance

out with you two. What is it that I have a right to know? Well, Anna thought that my speech before was somewhat impolitic in that I seem to be stirring the flames of your rivalry with Stephan. Oh, come now. That ship was sailed. He’s had his sight set on ousting me from the moment he returned to the land of the living.

My lover of was what I was trying to argue and that it was important that. I was proud to say that I am firmly in your corner and I sincerely appreciate that Tony and this family full of liars and vultures. It’s good to know that you’ve always hurt my back.

I am all for whatever is best for the company, but I do have to ask, what is it that you two can do for me? First off, we’ll welcome you back into this family where you belong with open arms. Make you feel at home. You’re not gonna get that from me, Jay. Believe me, he’s only looking out for himself. He won’t sacrifice a damn thing for you, not the way that Stephanie and I will.

Oh, that is simply not true. Gabby, I’m sure Megan sees through your malicious spin on my relationship with my family and this company. Furthermore, I’m sure she knows that I am more than happy to do whatever it takes to make our beloved sister feel welcomed and valued. In fact, Megan, in regard to the former, I’m willing to turn over my master suite to you after being locked up in Statesville.

I think you deserve the largest room in the house, which also boasts the best of you.

I was locked up in Stayville too, you know? Ah, yes. But Megan has seen your. Otherwise, I would’ve of course offered you the room, Krista. Mm-hmm. Of course, of course. Don’t sweat at Elvis. I wouldn’t accept your offer anyway. Not after you stabbed me in the back.

I just hated lying to eat. J just now. Oh darling, that’s because you are a kind and decent man, which is what I love about you. But darling, despite your bleeding heart, we do have to be. Careful and just keep this between us. I mean, it means that we have to be very careful and not chat about this, you know, unless we know we’re all alone and no one else is around.

I mean, if someone overheard us talking about Nicole’s pregnancy, like EJ almost did Anna, what the hell?

Hey, I am so sorry about everything Leo just said. He’s just trying to stir up drama as usual, but you know, nothing’s changed. All right, snow and I are just friends, not Johnny. You don’t have to keep telling me. Okay. I totally believe you. Good. And I know Leo was wrong about the two of you, but. He wasn’t exactly wrong about me and Tripp.

I know that. And Johnny, if it’s ever too weird or uncomfortable, I’ll understand you. Kidding me. Afraid of a little competition. No,

I’m not giving up on you without a fight.

I was wondering when we were going to get to all the demerit trauma that I’ve so sorely missed. So tell me, Kristen, how did EJ stab you in the back? Can we not go to that please? He and I were once very, very close. For God’s sake, what’s the point? I helped save his life when he was shot, and I put mine on hold as I supervised his rehabilitation.

And then a few years later when I had legal trouble, he refused to represent me for good reason. Well, whatever the reason, it doesn’t sound very brotherly. As C E O I, regrettably had to distance myself from Kristen. It was what was best for business at the time. Sadly, he shunned me again, even more hurtful.

Hey, uh, He barred me from attending the funeral of my dear friend Susan, a dear friend who happened to be my mother, whom you tortured Musclely much like you’re torturing me now. You know, I must concur. EJ does have a knack for back stabbing, especially when it comes to his siblings. And I’m not just talking about Christian here.

I’m talking about me, Chad. Ah forbid he’s saying it. And how can you be sure he won’t do the same thing to you? Just saying, and I’m just saying the bottom line, E j’s loyalty to this family is pretty much non-existent. So he might wanna think twice about taking his so-called offer

and Nicole. I, I, I didn’t, I didn’t mean to tell Tony it, it was an accident, I swear. And EJ almost overheard. Was that an accident too? Yes. That EJ is still in the dark and Tony managed to cover, so we’re all good. You know, Nicole, I still don’t feel good about this. I think my brother has the right to know if you might be carrying his child.

Look, um, I’m doing a paternity test in a few days, and as soon as I find out who the father is, I will deliver the news. But until then, I, I need you to keep this under wraps. Can you do that, please? Of course, of course. I promise. We promise, right, Tony? Fine. Thank you. Well, while I have you here, maybe you could help me speed things up, gimme some advice.

Of course. So for the paternity test, I need to swab e j’s cheek without him knowing and, and it would be easiest if he was sleeping, but he is such a light sleeper. I, I don’t, oh. No worries. I have the perfect solution.

Give him one of these. What’s this? It is a sleeping pill. Whenever I have insomnia, I just popped one. It’ll knock EJ right out and he will sleep deeply for hours and hours. Believe me.

Hey there. Hey there to you. What are you doing? Well, I saw all these towels in the dryer, so I thought I’d fold them. Oh, how very domestic. Yeah. Well, I know you got a lot going on. Hmm. So I just wanted to see what I could do to help. Thanks. I appreciate that. By the way, what are you doing home? I thought you were gonna be with your brother for a while.

Oh yeah. Well, the hospital, they canceled the visiting hours until tomorrow because of the virus? Yeah, I guess they just wanted to be safe. Yeah. And um, Eric, thank you for being so understanding about all of this, especially considering you probably think my brother is a monster and I don’t blame you one bit, but I can’t turn my back on him.

I mean, he’s in some serious trouble and Well, I should probably let you know that, um, I agree to defend him in court. I know I overheard you telling him yesterday and you’re okay with it. Well, I’m appalled by what he did, but I know you are too. My sister Sammy, she’s done a lot of terrible things over the years and I too struggled to defend her, but I stood by her to the best that I could and I admire and wanting to do the same for him.

I mean so much. Hmm. With everything going on, I really, I couldn’t stand with Lucy. You won’t. I’m here. I’m here for you. I’m not going anywhere. You know that. Right.

You know, as much as I hate to admit it, Leo was right about one thing, one time. Well, when he called me an out of work diante, I wanted to kick him in the, you know what? But he did have a point. Ah, I need to hurry up and jumpstart my film career. Okay. Well, you sound like you have a lot of family drama to mind from.

Maybe you could do a documentary about them. Not a bad idea, although. It didn’t go very well the last time I tried to tell my family’s story, so maybe I could tell yours. Mine. Mm-hmm. Thought that would be very interesting. Kidding me. Let me tell you about Wendy Shin. Bright and ambitious. Her sexist family relegates her to the wilds of Alaska, sorely underestimating our Wiley heroin.

She comes to Salem guns blazing, demanding a seat at the table. She also finds herself investigating a plot involving a mad evil scientist risking her own life. To uncover the truth along the way. She falls in love with a dashing and super hot filmmaker. Oh, super hot. Well, that’s lady whistleblowers, or it’s not mine.

Hmm. Wendy briefly finds herself torn between two guys. Before realizing that there is only one man for her. Really? Mm-hmm. And which guy was that? Well, you have to buy a ticket to find out.

Megan, I assure you that I am offering you my room as a sincere gesture of goodwill and not asking for anything in. Accept to vote my shares in your favor. Well, in that regard, I’m no different to Stephan than am I. Well, in order to avoid choosing sides of this early juncture, I think I’ll choose a different bedroom.

I’m sure there are plenty to choose from in this house. Oh, definitely Megan. I would take a look at the east wing. The sunlight in the morning is breathtaking. You know what? Come on sis. We’re gonna take a look at all the wings and uh, we’ll find a place to crash. So this will gimme a chance to give you a tour of the family homestead.

Hello? Hello there, Nicole. Kristen, you’re out of prison again? Yes. My resourceful sister got me immunity sister. Mm-hmm. Oh, Megan, this is ejs on again, off again, girlfriend Nicole Walker. Pleasure to meet you. Oh, likewise. Well yeah, stay in chat. We need to find our. Bedrooms, or should I say suites? Oh my God.

You’re gonna be living here. Of course we’re damira is darling. Where else would we live? Well, I’ll be into, mm-hmm.

I am impressed with you Eric. Grading. Yeah, because I’m folding your towels. No, because you could have cut and run. A long time ago when the whole tile thought that I was a stalker. You stood by me. You defended me to, and Abe, your sister fell. I can’t tell you how much that means to me.

You know what? Don’t gimme too much credit. I’ve had my own share of doubts as you know, but ultimately I got another person that you were, you are, and I know you aren’t capable of committing the crimes that your brother did. God, I still cannot believe he terrorized Paul and Chanel. Tried to kill them. I mean, I was angry too, but my God, I just wish I knew how broken he was, how troubled he was.

I mean, he was good at hiding things, obviously. No, still I should have been there for him, but instead I moved here to Salem to ex exact, my own revenge. Setting a bad example for him. I mean, even though I’m gonna fight like hell for him, the truth is that Colin’s probably going away to prison for a long, long time.

With both my parents gone.

You won’t be alone. Hey, you have me.

The funny thing is that for so long I was so scared of opening up my heart to anybody, letting anybody in. I’m so glad I.

I’m glad you did too.

Yeah. I love you. It’s out. Yeah. Don’t feel obligated to say it back. Don’t.

Truth is

I.

Let me guess. This is about the Sanderson sisters. I just ran into them downstairs. The Sanderson sisters, the witches from Hocus Pocus. Oh, ugh. Why are you letting those two nightmares move in here? For the simple reason that Kristin is a shareholder and soon Megan will be too. I see. And you need their votes to maintain power.

Right. And so far I am doing a miserable job getting them on my side. Dammit. I feel like my head is about to explode. I can imagine.

Oh, so do you think you’ll be able to sleep? Oh, I don’t think so. I’m too wound up. Well, in that case, um, Maybe Ha, you could, you could try one of these. What’s that? It, it’s just a sleeping pill. I don’t normally take them, just, you know, when I’m feeling anxiety or when my head is gonna explode and it’s not addictive.

It’s a mild. Instead it did to just help you sleep well through the night, and then you can wake up and you can form a plan of attack with a clear head,

fine. Sure. Sounds like a plan.

In spite of that jerk Leo turning up. I have a really nice time tonight. No, just doesn mean I’m winning. Okay. I wish you wouldn’t put it like that. I mean, it’s not a contest, it’s just me being conflicted. Then indecisive, which I do tend to be by nature or wish I weren’t, but hey, it’s okay. However indecisive you might be.

I think you’re great. And though we are not calling it a contest, Since it’s a choice that you have to make, hopefully this will, I dunno. Hope you decide.

That’ll definitely go in your column. That’s what I was hoping.

Good night.

You think we should go back downstairs? Keep working. Your sisters. Ah. Now let’s quit while we’re ahead. Best not to overplay our hand. You’re right. I mean, good thing we’ve stopped EJ from, uh, making any inroads, Megan. Hmm. And for now, Christian seems to be on our side. Yeah. Well if we keep that up, then we’ll have enough folks to ask your brother, and then we’re gonna be in control, baby.

Mm-hmm. You know, I never would’ve guessed my sister’s getting out of prison would’ve been such a major win for us. An answer to our prayers.

It’s very satisfying that our brothers are working overtime to win our allegiance A bit demeaning. If one had thin skin, how do you mean? Well, it is obviously chauvinistic of them to assume that our only option. Is for one of them to run the company. Hmm. You’re right. Huh? How the boys had their turn at the top.

Perhaps it’s time for the girls to take charge. You catch on fast? Yes. Let’s hear it for the girls.

I’m not one to take sleeping pills, but as I said, I’m so worked up right now. But you need to sleep, AJ, and honestly, it’s just one pill. It’s not gonna hurt you. Right. One second. Ah, damn. It’s where Shin at this hour. Hello, Mr. Shim. What I thought you said it was a done deal.

Of course. No, no. I, I understand. I’ll take care of it.

A potential investor is getting cold feet and need to take the jet to Chicago, talk ’em off the ledge. What you don’t mean tonight, I do. It’s too important to let it wait, especially with Steph and nipping on my heels. Look at every and any opportunity to gain the upper hand. So unfortunately, I need to depart.

I’ll see you tomorrow. Okay. Well, good luck.

Hello, it’s me. How are things going with ej? Total Bus. He just left for an urgent business trip, so obviously I won’t be able to get a sample from him. It’s all up to you now. Well, actually that’s why I’m calling Mission accomplished. I’ve got Eric’s sample in my hot little hands. Oh, thank God.

I’ll be in touch. Okay,

well, it won’t be long now. Now, soon we’ll know whether your daddy is ej. Oh, Eric.

Update written by Joseph

Johnny is sitting at a table at the bar when Leo walks in and asks if the seat is taken. Johnny informs him that he is waiting for his date. Leo decides to sit down since his date isn’t there yet and asks if Johnny wants to fill him in on his latest family drama. Johnny questions what he’s talking about. Leo informs Johnny that his aunt Kristen was released from prison which shocks Johnny, who asks if she got another pardon. Leo reveals that she got immunity and now he is way more interested in his other aunt, Megan Hathaway.

Megan steps forward and announces she thinks it’s time that she take the family name as she is now claiming to be a DiMera completely and entirely. EJ then toasts to Megan DiMera. Tony thanks them for their kind words on behalf of the family, but now there is something he’d like to say to EJ, causing Anna to worry as she thinks back to asking Tony not to tell a soul about Nicole’s secret. Anna then speaks up and tells Tony that she can’t let him do this.

At the hospital, Nicole then opens the swab kit, but Eric arrives and questions what is going on here. Sloan greets Eric, who says he knew she’d be at the hospital all day with Colin so he decided to come see if she needed anything. Sloan thanks him but says they are fine. Eric says that’s good and then questions what Sloan and Nicole are up to. Nicole asks what he means. Eric points out that he saw them with their heads together and seemed really interested in that box, so he asks what’s in it. Sloan admits it’s a medical test kit, so Eric questions what the test is for. Nicole claims it’s for a virus because there was an outbreak on the 10th floor and to protect all patients, all visitors have to test before being let in. Nicole says she was going to share a test with Sloan since the hospital is low on supplies so that Sloan would be able to see her brother. Sloan says that as generous as Nicole’s offer is, she really thinks Eric should have the test. Eric questions why. Sloan points out that Abe is a family friend, so she’s sure he would like to visit him. Nicole agrees that it makes sense and suggests Eric take the test right now, so she can take it straight to the lab.

EJ questions what is wrong with Anna. Gabi remarks that Anna must have had too much wine but Anna assures that she is sober. Anna argues that Tony must have had one too many at the Bistro. Kristen points out that Tony seems sober to her. Tony says that he is but Anna disagrees. Anna remarks that when Tony gets like this, he makes unwise decisions, so she wouldn’t want him to say anything that he will regret later. Megan says they are all family here, so they should feel free to say whatever they want to each other and tells Tony that he has the floor.

Leo asks Johnny about Megan as he heard everyone thought she died in a hot tub incident back in the 80s. Johnny responds that he’s asking the wrong guy because he’s never even met Megan. Wendy then arrives and apologizes for being late as she joins Johnny. Leo is surprised to learn that Wendy is Johnny’s date because he assumed it was going to be Chanel. Johnny tells Leo there is nothing going on between he and Chanel and that’s history. Leo remarks that history has a way of repeating itself and asks if the engagement is off. Johnny insists it was never on and he’s dating Wendy. Leo apologizes and says it’s hard to keep track of things around here, commenting that people change partners like they change underwear. Leo then asks Wendy if she really believed Johnny’s high on biscuits story. Wendy assures that she did because Johnny wouldn’t lie to her. Leo asks if she believes that he only has eyes for her then. Johnny assures that is true. Leo remarks that it’s too bad Wendy doesn’t feel the same way since his sources tell him that Wendy ran off to Seattle to be with Tripp. Leo then asks that since Wendy is back here with Johnny, if that means she dumped Tripp. Wendy says no, so Leo comments that it’s double her pleasure, double her fun.

EJ asks what Tony wanted to tell him. Tony claims that he thought EJ deserves a toast in his honor too. Gabi mocks that and suggests a roast instead. Tony talks about EJ doing a tremendous job as CEO over the last several months. Stefan points out that’s co-CEO. Tony says he’s talking about before Stefan’s promotion, as EJ was doing very nicely on his own and under his leadership, DiMera Enterprises has attained tremendous heights. Gabi then agrees with Anna that Tony is completely wasted. Tony acknowledges Megan not being around over the years but assures her that EJ is best for the job, so it would be wise of her to support him and tells Kristen the same. Megan and Kristen call it quite an endorsement. Kristen suggests skipping the toast since Tony made his point. Anna asks for a word with Tony in private and takes him out of the living room. Megan remarks that she sees Anna is still quite the drama queen.

Outside the room, Anna questions what Tony was thinking since she asked him not to tell EJ about Nicole’s secret, but he was about to blab the news to everyone. Tony argues that he wasn’t going to. Anna says she’s glad that she got him to back down and he came up with a cover story. Tony insists that he said what he intended to in the first place because he just wanted to make it clear that he supports EJ. Anna questions Tony not planning to expose Nicole’s secret. Tony assures that he wasn’t, but Anna almost did on her own.

Eric tells Nicole that it wouldn’t be right, so he’d rather Sloan have the test. Sloan insists and says she was with her brother earlier, so she can wait to see him. Eric feels that she shouldn’t have to and says as much as he’d like to see Abe, it’s more important for Sloan to be with her family. Sloan agrees if he insists. Eric tells her that he will just meet her back at her place. Eric says he’ll see them later and exits the hospital. Nicole tells Sloan that it was a good idea even though it failed miserably and now they are back to the same problem. Sloan argues that it’s not a problem, but an impossibility to get a cheek swab from someone without explaining why. Nicole tells Sloan that she doesn’t have to help her and can still back out. Sloan argues that she has a vested interest in this too since her boyfriend could be her baby daddy, but she prays that he’s not.

Anna apologizes for doubting Tony which he calls nothing new. Anna argues that at the Bistro, he seemed on the fence about it and she promised Nicole that she wouldn’t tell a soul. Tony still doesn’t feel right about it and admits he is still on the fence because EJ has a right to know. EJ then comes out from the living room and asks what he has a right to know.

Johnny tells Leo that he’s making Wendy very uncomfortable. Leo argues that he’s just having fun with her while Wendy feels that he’s making fun of her. Leo encourages that everybody loves a good love triangle. Wendy asks Johnny to make Leo go away. Wendy threatens to hack in to all of Leo’s accounts and make his life Hell if he prints anything about her in his column. Leo tells her that there’s no need to get testy as he is on her side. Wendy questions how the hell he is on her side. Leo says he sympathizes with her conundrum as he understands why she’s torn between Johnny and Tripp. Leo remarks that Tripp has the advantage of being a doctor while Johnny has the DiMera money but is out of work. Johnny then has enough and forces Leo out. As Johnny is escorting Leo out, Leo calls out to Wendy that he heard about Gabi and Li’s divorce, telling her to give Li his number, and asking if it’s true that Gabi and Stefan are already engaged.

Gabi says she wouldn’t trust a word Tony said as he’s completely biased towards EJ. Megan points out that they are brothers while Stefan argues that they aren’t blood. Gabi brings up that Tony was once married to Kristen which Megan questions. Kristen explains that it was more of an arranged marriage set up by Stefano and the man she married turned out to be Andre. Gabi points out that she eventually did marry Tony while pretending to be Nicole and used that to seize control of DiMera. Gabi decides that’s all in the past and talks about how they would love to work with Kristen and Megan to ensure the family and company’s very bright future, but they need to have Stefan solely in charge to do that because he’s more in tune with today’s modern world than his brothers. Gabi declares that if they want DiMera to thrive for decades to come, they need to back Stefan.

EJ questions Anna and Tony about what he has a right to know. Tony claims that Anna thought his speech was somewhat impotent and stirring the flames of his rivalry with Stefan. EJ says that ship has sailed as Stefan has had his sights set on ousting him since the moment he came back to life. Tony assures EJ that he is firmly in his corner which EJ says he sincerely appreciates. EJ comments that in a family full of liars and vultures, it’s good to know that Tony has always had his back as he hugs him.

Megan states that she is all for what is best for the company, but she does have to ask what Gabi and Stefan can do for her. Stefan says they will welcome her back in to the family where she belongs with open arms and make her feel at home. Gabi argues that she won’t get that from EJ as he only cares about himself and won’t make any sacrifices for her like they will. EJ walks back in and says that is simply not true. EJ is sure Megan sees through Gabi’s vicious spin on his relationship with his family and the company. EJ adds that he will do whatever it takes to make Megan feel valued. EJ declares that he’s willing to turn over his master suite to Megan, feeling that after being in prison, she deserves the biggest room in the house. Kristen argues that she was locked up in prison too. EJ points out that Megan has seniority, otherwise he would have offered Kristen the room. Kristen tells EJ that she wouldn’t accept it anyway after he stabbed her in the back.

Tony tells Anna that he hated lying to EJ just now. Anna says that’s because he’s a kind and decent man which is what she loves about him. Anna says despite that, they have to be careful and just keep this between them which means they can’t chat about this unless they know they are alone with no one around. Anna comments on if someone heard them talking about Nicole’s pregnancy like EJ almost did, right as Nicole comes home and asks Anna what the hell.

Johnny returns to Wendy after getting rid of Leo and apologizes about everything Leo said as he was just trying to stir up drama as usual. Johnny assures that nothing has changed and he is just friends with Chanel. Wendy insists that she totally believes him. Wendy adds that she knows Leo was wrong about them, but not exactly wrong about her and Tripp which Johnny says he knows. Wendy says she will understand if it’s ever too weird or uncomfortable. Johnny responds that he’s not afraid of a little competition. Johnny holds her hand and declares that he’s not giving up on her without a fight.

Megan wondered when they would get to all the DiMera drama that she sorely missed. Megan then asks Kristen how EJ stabbed her in the back. EJ doesn’t want to go there. Kristen talks about how they were once very close and she saved his life after he was shot. Kristen says she put her life on hold to help with his rehabilitation, then a few years later when she had legal trouble, he refused to represent her. EJ argues that was for good reason. Megan remarks that it doesn’t sound very brotherly. EJ explains that as CEO, he regrettably had to distance himself from Kristen because it was what was best for business at the time. Kristen adds that EJ shunned her again and it was even more hurtful when he barred her from attending the funeral of her dear friend Susan. EJ argues that Kristen tortured Susan mercilessly. Stefan intervenes to state that EJ does have a knack for backstabbing, especially when it comes to his siblings including himself and Chad. Gabi asks how they can be sure EJ won’t do the same to them. Kristen declares that EJ is not loyal to the family, so Megan might want to think twice about taking his so called offer.

Anna explains to Nicole that she didn’t mean to tell Tony and swears it was an accident. Nicole questions if it was an accident that EJ almost overheard. Anna assures that EJ is still in the dark and Tony managed to cover, so they are all good. Tony repeats that he still doesn’t feel good about this as he thinks EJ has a right to know if she might be carrying his child. Nicole tells them that she is having a paternity test and when she finds out, she will share the news, but until then, she needs them to keep this under wraps. Anna and Tony promise to do that so Nicole thanks them. Nicole then asks if they can help her speed things up and give her advice. Nicole explains that in order to do the paternity test, she needs a cheek swab from EJ. Anna declares that she has the perfect solution and presents Nicole with a bottle of sleeping pills, assuring that it will knock EJ out and he will sleep deeply for hours.

Sloan comes home where Eric is folding towels from the dryer, saying he knows she has a lot going on so he wanted to do whatever he could to help. Eric asks what she’s doing home as he thought she was going to be with her brother. Sloan claims the hospital cancelled visiting hours because of the virus to be safe. Sloan thanks Eric for being so understanding about all of it, especially considering that he probably thinks her brother is a monster and she doesn’t blame him one bit, but she can’t turn her back on him as he’s in serious trouble. Sloan adds that she should probably let him know that she agreed to defend Colin in court. Eric admits that he overheard her telling him yesterday. Sloan asks if he’s okay with it. Eric says he’s appalled by what Colin did and he knows Sloan is too. Eric relates to his sister Sami doing a lot of terrible things over the years but standing by her as much as he could. Sloan tells Eric that it means so much to her because with everything going on, she couldn’t stand to lose him. Eric assures that he’s here for her and not going anywhere.

Johnny tells Wendy that he hates to admit it, but Leo was right about one thing when he pointed out that he is out of work. Johnny states that he needs to hurry up and jumpstart his film career. Wendy notes that he sounds like he has a lot of family drama to take from, so maybe he could do a documentary on them. Johnny calls that not a bad idea but points out that it didn’t go so well the last time he tried to tell his family story. Johnny suggests maybe he could tell Wendy’s instead. Wendy doubts that would be very interesting. Johnny talks about her life as a movie and everything she’s been through since coming to Salem. Johnny says in the movie, Wendy finds herself briefly torn between two guys but in the end, there’s only one guy for her. Wendy asks which guy that is, but Johnny says she’d have to buy a ticket to find out.

EJ assures Megan that he is offering her his room as a sincere gesture of good will and not looking for anything in return. Megan says except for her to vote her shares in his favor. EJ says in that regard, he’s no different than Stefan. Megan decides that she wants to avoid choosing sides this early, so she will pick a different bedroom as she’s sure there are plenty to choose from. Gabi encourages her to check the East wing. Kristen decides they will take a look at all the wings and find a place to crash. Kristen adds that it will give her a chance to give Megan a tour of the family home. Kristen and Megan exit the room to see Nicole with Anna and Tony. Nicole is shocked that Kristen is out of prison again. Kristen informs her that Megan got her immunity. Kristen then introduces Megan to Nicole. Kristen says they need to find their bedrooms. Nicole is shocked to learn they will be living there. Megan responds that they are DiMeras, so where else would they live. Kristen and Megan then head upstairs.

Sloan tells Eric that she is impressed with him because he could have cut and run a long time ago but he stood by her and defended her when the whole town thought she was a stalker. Sloan tells Eric how much that means to her. Eric says not to give him too much credit since he did have his share of doubts, but ultimately he got to know the person she is and he knows she’s not capable of the crimes that her brother was. Sloan still can’t believe Colin terrorized Paulina and Chanel and tried to kill them. Sloan says she was angry too but wishes she knew. Eric says Colin was obviously good at hiding things. Sloan feels she should’ve been there for him, but instead she moved to Salem for her own revenge and set a bad example for him. Sloan declares that she will fight like hell for Colin, but the truth is that he’s probably going to prison for a very long time. Sloan starts to cry about both her parents being gone. Eric encourages that she won’t be alone as she has him. Sloan responds that for so long, she was scared of opening her heart to anybody and letting them in, but she’s so glad she did with him. Sloan then tells Eric that she loves him and says he doesn’t have to feel obligated to say it back. Eric responds that the truth is, he loves her too as they kiss. Eric then picks her up and carries her to bed.

EJ has a drink in his room. Nicole walks in and guesses this is about his sisters. Nicole questions why he’s letting them move in. EJ points out that Kristen is a shareholder and Megan will soon be too. Nicole realizes that he will need them on his side. EJ complains that so far, he’s doing a miserable job and feels like his head is about to explode. Nicole then asks if EJ thinks he’ll be able to sleep. EJ doesn’t think so and says he’s too wound up. Nicole takes the opportunity to suggest he try a sleeping pill, claiming that she takes them when she feels like he does and says it will help him sleep through the night. Nicole says then when he wakes up, he can form a plan of attack with a clear head. EJ agrees that it sounds like a plan.

Johnny brings Wendy home. Wendy says in spite of Leo, she had a really nice time tonight. Johnny asks if that means he’s winning. Wendy doesn’t want to put it like that because it’s not a contest, just her being conflicted and indecisive. Johnny tells her it’s okay and says he thinks she’s great. Johnny agrees that it’s not a contest but a choice that she has to make. Johnny hopes to help her decide as he kisses her. Wendy jokes that will definitely go in his plus column as they say goodnight and she heads inside.

Gabi asks Stefan if they should go back to keep working on Megan and Kristen but Stefan says it’s best not to overplay their hand. Gabi says it’s good that they stopped EJ from making any in roads with Megan. Stefan adds that Kristen seems to be on their side. Gabi declares that if they keep it up, they will be in control in no time. Stefan says he never would’ve guessed that his sisters getting out of prison would be such a major win for them. Gabi calls it an answer to their prayers.

Kristen and Megan sit together in the living room, talking about their brothers trying to win them over. Megan comments on them thinking the only option is for one of them to run the company. Kristen remarks that the boys had their turn on top, so perhaps it’s time for the girls to take charge. Megan says she catches on fast as Kristen toasts to the girls.

EJ tells Nicole that he’s not one to take sleeping pills but he is so wound up. Nicole encourages that he needs to sleep and one pill won’t hurt him. EJ then gets a call from Wei Shin and answers. EJ thought he said it was a done deal, then says he will take care of it. EJ tells Nicole that a potential investor is getting cold feet, so he needs to take the jet to Chicago to talk him off the ledge and it’s too important to let wait, especially with Stefan looking for the upper hand. EJ declares that he unfortunately needs to depart and he will see her tomorrow. EJ kisses Nicole and she wishes him luck as he exits, thwarting Nicole’s plan.

Sloan sits in bed next to Eric as he sleeps. Sloan then sneaks out of bed to retrieve the cheek swab from her purse and goes to use it on Eric. Sloan then calls Nicole and asks how things are going with EJ. Nicole says it’s a total bust as he just left for a business trip, so it’s all up to her now. Sloan reveals that’s why she called because she accomplished the mission and has Eric’s sample in hand which relieves Nicole. Sloan says she’ll be in touch as they hang up.

Nicole declares that it won’t be long now and they will soon know if her baby’s daddy is EJ or Eric.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

It feels absolutely incredible to be here with you, father, pure perfection. Even though you’re only here in spirit, I’m, I’m filled. With your power and authority,

you spent my life searching, traveling the world, and now I’m finally home

where I belong. Who are you? What the hell are you doing at my house?

Afternoon bubbly. Hmm. A girl could get used to this. It’s always happy hour with you, my love, and even happier today cuz we’re celebrating your eminent divorce. Oh, I will drink to that pretty soon. A much bigger celebration in front of our family and loved ones as you and I become. Mr. And Mrs. Stephan Navara once again.

Any chance I could be made of honor?

You know what really drives me nuts that Kristen just shows up unannounced, go, no text, no calls. She just barges in spews are crap. And then she leaves. Now she’s out there lurking around, waiting. My daughter’s right in the middle of it. I know how angry you are. I don’t blame you. And I also imagine you wish you never had to see Kristen again, but I will.

I’m going to cuz I need to for the sake of my little girl. Yes, and that’s why you’ll do it because it’s exactly what’s best for your daughter. You know what amazes me, how much we endure for our children. Oh, right. I mean, I guess I have to resign to the fact that I’m, I’m gonna have to. Do Kristen for the rest of my life.

I don’t know if I really accepted that fact until right now, but it’s true. And she is. She’s always gonna be there. She’s here and I’m here and everybody who loves you is here.

I’ll get it. That better not be her. You know? I imagine she’s said enough and heard enough for one day.

Who’s there? It’s Eric.

Hey, I heard about Kristen. Yeah, thanks. Yeah, you just missed her. She was just hearing did not go well, to put it mildly. Not surprised. I’m sorry. If you need anything, I’m here for you. Thanks ma’am. I am so glad you came by. Oh. The reason why I stop by is because I have some news in my own to share.

Anna Nicole, honey. Hi. How are you doing? I’m fine. Is is something wrong? No, no, no, no, no. Not at all. I, I just wanted to check in on you and see how things are going. Did you pick up those prenatal vitamins? Uh, yes I did. Anna, I, I, I hope you’re alone. No one’s with an earshot, right? No, don’t worry. And I know I’ve said this before, but I guess it bears repeating.

No one is going to hear about this. Pregnancy from me.

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

Uh, I, I have to hang up now. Um, I’ll talk to you later. What, why is someone there? No, no one is just, um, a waiter,

so, Can I take your order, madam? Oh, would you like to hear the specials again? Haha.

So tell me, who are you chatting with? Jess now. Who? Oh, no one. It was just a wrong number.

I don’t think so. You hung up that phone as if I had caught you with your hand in the cookie jar, but I see no cookies. However, I did hear you say that you would keep this pregnancy a secret. So who are you talking to? Do I know this? Plus, who is with child?

Yes. You know her. You’d know her very well. In fact, I mean, to be honest, it’s, it’s very surprising. Shocking, really, because I just found out that, uh, It’s me. I’m pregnant.

Actually. I have as much right to be here as you do. Baby brother. My God, you didn’t expect me. I just heard about your release from prison, but I didn’t think you would show up here. Where else would I go? This is my home. My name might be Hathaway, but I am a Dira. Through and through,

which means my place is in this house and in the family business. Kristen. Hello Gabby Stephan. And judging by the looks on your faces, I’m guessing you haven’t heard my news. Which is drum roll please. I am a free woman. You, you were released from prison. How an immunity deal. I have the papers right here if you want to see.

Oh, thanks. Not necessary. I appreciate that brother. It means so much to be trusted by my family. Oh, but I interrupted, didn’t I? Oh, I overheard you two talking about wedding plans. Congratulations. You too. Oh, and like I said, Gabby, I’d be more than happy to stand up for you on your special day when hell freezes over.

Eric, come on. Don’t keep us in suspense. What’s the news? It’s about Sloan. She’s been cleared of all charges. They now know that she isn’t the one that has been going after Chanel and Paulina. Oh. Well that must be a, a big relief for you and for her to say the least. But somebody is obviously out for ’em.

I mean, uh, ABES just last night was attacked at Sweet Bits, right? It’s been the one who’s been terrorizing him. Does anybody know who it is? They do. It’s someone very close to Sloan. It’s her brother Colin.

Hey Nicole. What are you doing here? Picking up more prenatal vitamins. God, would you keep your voice down? I see you still haven’t told anybody you’re pregnant. No, I haven’t actually. I’m here to see Abe. You know the man your brother violently assaulted, but what do you care? You’re probably the one who put him up to it.

Dude, I had nothing to do. I No idea. Don’t say it. We both know the reason your brother came to see Himm and why Abe is lying in that hospital bed.

Thank your pardon. I don’t think I heard you correctly, but it sounded like you said that you were pregnant. Oh, darling, I realize this must come as a shock to you. After all, we thought the possibility of us becoming parents had long, long, long since passed, and to be honest, When I found out, I was just as shocked as I said.

How did you find out? How did I find out? That was the question. Yes. Isn’t it obvious? How do you think? From Dr. Rolf, he was working on some experimental fertility treatments, and I was intrigued. So I offered to be his Guinea pig, and who would’ve guessed it, we hit pay dirt. So before you know it, we’re going to be hearing the pitter pattern of little feet.

Really, Gabby, where is this hostility coming from? Oh, you really have to ask. Really? You and Lee conspired against me. You knew Stefan was alive and you kept that from me. You, you brainwashed him to hate me and to love Chloe. Is that, is that not enough for you? Or should I continue? I mean, lucky for me Your plan failed.

Miser break. Okay, Gabby, no, no, no. She needs to hear this. Okay. Stephan loves me. More. More than you will ever comprehend. And now that you realize your evil manipulations didn’t work, you have the goal to ask to take part in our wedding. Why would I ever let you anywhere near me when I am marrying Stephan?

We are together in spite of your best efforts. Which I don’t even understand what you did that for. I mean, you’re, you’re, you’re scheming all of that for what you, you’re not with Brady. No, no, no. You shouldn’t. Maybe I shouldn’t What? Tell her exactly how it is. Maybe you shouldn’t, Gabby. Maybe you shouldn’t make an enemy and a Kristin make an enemy.

Are you kidding me? She’s the enemy. She’s my sister. And we also might need her vote.

Her vote, her vote. Oh, okay. Well I see your point. So champagne,

you plan to take your place in the family business. Well, it’s my understanding that every one of Stefano’s heirs has a right to a piece of his empire and all that comes with it, including a vote in who runs the company. It’s true that all of Stefano’s offspring are afforded to share in the company by considering you’re presumed dead for almost 30 years.

Oh, come now. I’m sure that the Demira lawyers. Can handle whatever’s required to sort that out, especially since they’re my lawyers too. And I’d imagine that you’d want to be my ally in getting this sorted, which could work in your favor as well. Meaning, I am aware of the fact that you and our brother Stephan are locked in a power struggle for control of the company.

So considering the fact that my vote might mean the difference between your triumphant victory or your crushing defeat, I guess that you want to keep me on your good side

Champagne.

This is the most wonderful news. It is. Oh, I mean, it is. It is. I’m just so glad you think so too. Oh, and of course I do. Good happens after all these years. You surprising me with the blessing of a child. I think short a miracle.

You’re telling me. What was that? Nothing. I think this calls for a toast. I know. What are you doing? Uh, toasting. Oh, our blessing. Well, that’s a lovely idea. But you are now with child, which means nine months of sobriety. Oh, yes. I see. Yeah. Yes. Not a drop of alcohol. We gotta think of our baby. Of course. Yeah.

And come to think of it, complete abstinence for more than nine months, wouldn’t you say? Would I?

You get press feet out baby, aren’t you?

Oh, alcohol is just the tip of the iceberg. You know, it’s, you’ve gotta give up caffeine. A su that’s totally out of the question. And you know what, I’m gonna tell Harold to throw out all that soft cheeses what? Not the cam bear. Well, I suppose we’ll have to consult a doctor and get a list of all those no-nos for new mummies, huh?

Yeah. Have you made your appointment yet? Trician de No, no. I, I. Oh, but you must, we must I, you know, we’ll wait till I’m free. That way we can take this journey together hand in hand. Ah. And I’m gonna make sure I’m gonna be at every one of your appointments. Oh, darling, you don’t have to do that. You are a very busy man.

Oh. We’re talking about our baby. You know, little sweet Angel is going to be b a top priority. From now on, I’m gonna make sure that I’m gonna do everything in my power to ensure his or hers or their wellbeing. Uh,

why we, sorry, hold on. That way, we’ll go through the pantry, throw out everything that’s not good for the baby. Yes. And then in the morning it’ll start on the wine cellar. Wine cellar. You can’t be planning on getting rid of the wine. I mean, other people in the family drink it too, don’t they? Uh, I don’t think so.

I mean, Stephan, I think he loves his vodka. BJ and I, we like a scotch and I think Johnny is strictly beer man. And we make sure that you’re not being tempted. So you know what? We’ll take the wine and we’ll donate it to Charity. Charity. Charity. Do do you think people in need of charity, I mean, should they be drinking wine?

Oh, yeah. Come to think of it. It’s not the most appropriate thing to donate. They would just toss it out because parenting is a sacrifice, isn’t it? Mummy? Unless of course. You are not pregnant at all and that what you were discussing earlier was about someone else’s pregnancy. So would you like to tell me who it is before I throw out the cabin bear and empty the wine?

Summer? Don’t eat. I can’t. That’s why I made up that ridiculous story about Dr. Rolf and fertility treatments. I was sworn to secrecy and I refused to break my solemn vow.

What’s Nicole? Isn’t it? Dang it.

Look, I too was very sorry to hear about what happened to our mayor. But I had nothing to do with it. We are not standing in front of a judge. No need for your empty sentiment. I know damn well you had your brother do your dirty work. What’s going on here? Nothing. I was just leaving to check on my brother.

Oh, the woman.

Sorry, Kayla. Um, how’s Abe doing? Uh, well he’s still in recovery. Uh, we’re waiting for some tests to come back. He’s holding on. Okay. Do you wanna tell me what that’s all about? Unfortunately, uh, uh, Sloan found out that I’m pregnant. Ooh. And you’re afraid that she’s gonna tell somebody? Well, she said she wouldn’t.

I mean, she’s hoping that the baby is not Eric’s for obvious reasons, and she’s just as anxious as I am to find out who the father is. But you don’t want Eric or EJ to know, right. Is why I, I wanna take that paternity test sooner than later. Right. Well, you know, based on the timing of the conception that you told me about, I can get an accurate result next week.

Okay. As long as EJ and Eric don’t find out about it. I, I, I mean, before we get the test results, well, I think that that’s gonna be a problem.

So the person that went after. Pauline and Chanel is Sloane’s brother. Rumor’s already fine that Sloane put him up to it. I mean, it was only a few days ago that she found out her brother calling. What? He had been up to it. If she had known she would’ve put a stop to him. Well, that must be a relief. I know that you and Sloan are getting a lot closer.

Yeah, we have, and she’s going through a really tough time right now. Her brother, he’s in the hospital with some serious injuries and Colony expects her to be his lawyer. I’m just trying to do whatever I can to help is why, one of the reasons why I thought I would ask if I could get your help, my help.

How, uh, Sloan had mentioned to me about us having dinner with you and John, and I know you haven’t made any formal plans, but I really think it would help lift their spirits. What? Just the four of us going to supper. Yeah. I Brady you can come along if you’d like. I’ll meet now. No, I don’t wanna be a fifth wheel.

Oh, come on. You know, I’d love you to be there. You can bring whoever you want. Oh yeah. I, I, uh, gosh, the choices I have lately, who should I call? I’m sorry. I didn’t, don’t mean to be insensitive. I know you’re not seeing anyone. No, it’s okay. I, uh, I only have one woman in my life right now, and that would be Kristen.

The problem is she’s doing her damnedest to ruin my life, so no brother, I’m not gonna bring her to dinner.

So now that my vote is on the table, suddenly I’m invited to your celebration. Well, I never said you weren’t invited. I look. Planning a wedding can be stressful. And I’m afraid that Gabby lashed out without thinking Oh, because of the stress. Exactly. Mm-hmm. And because you are feuding with EJ over the company and you need me, Kristin, look, you’re right.

We have been feuding over damara, but honestly, 5% Stephen came back. I’ve just, I’ve been worried that. I could lose him again and seeing you, it just triggered me and reminded me of everything that we’ve been through. All right. I get that. Just all of it was caused by Lee. You know, you did save Stephan from my soon Tobe ex-husband, pulling the plug on him.

I don’t know how I could forgot all that. I don’t know. Just I wasn’t thinking clearly when I lashed out.

I can respect that you having been triggered as you put it. I may have acted out a bit irrationally on the past, but.

You can make it up to me, both of you. How’s that?

You can take me home with you.

To your triumphant return to Salem

Father’s special reserve. Mm. As befits the occasion. After all, it’s not every day that a Amir returns to the familial home. Oh, I thought you were going to say returns from the dead. Well, that happens with quite regularity around here. Yes, but not every day. Mm. Speaking of which wears the rest of our illustrious brood.

Surely you don’t stock these halls in solitude. No. Hardly. Oh, everyone should be back in time for dinner, in fact, in which tonight We’ll hold in, your Honor.

You want us to take you home with us? It’s not such a strange request, is it? I am a Dera after all. So you wanna move in with us at the mansion? Well see Brady. He made it very clear that I wasn’t welcomed at Marlene’s, and uh, well, as you can imagine, I’m not loaded down with a lot of friends here in Salem.

So why don’t we help each other? You do own in the house, don’t you? Actually that’s, uh, that’s up for debate. Huh? Nice. See you. Well, we could discuss that on our way home, shall we?

Kayla? I, I, I don’t understand. How could EJ and Eric find out that I’m pregnant before we get the test results? Well, in order to perform the test, I’m gonna need a blood sample from you and a cheek swab from the potential father, a cheek swab. Oh my God, what was I thinking? Ah, so how am I gonna get a.

Cheek swab from Eric and EJ without telling them what it’s for. Well, you actually don’t need it from both. You can just get it from one of them, and then if it doesn’t match, then then we would know. The other would have to be the father. Right. So I, I know that it doesn’t solve your problem, but if you could manage to.

Get one sample right? Uh um. Okay. Okay. I’ll look at the kit and if you can possibly collect a sample sometime this week. You know, once you do that, then we’ll find out, oh, my baby’s father is,

all right. Look, if you really want me to come. I wouldn’t have asked if I didn’t mean it. I’d be happy to attend. Thank you both, I really appreciate it.

You know what, I should get going. Sloan’s been at the hospital with her brother all day. See if she needs anything. Um, I’ll be in touch with you about dinner. Okay. And, I am sorry about things with Kristen. I know it’s a bit rough right now. Thanks, man.

I’ll admit. Megan’s return was quite the shock father, but as long as I keep her on my side. Well, is that champagne? Hmm. How nice of you to celebrate my triumphant return back to the homestead. Excuse me. We’ve asked Kristen to move in. Yeah. Now that she’s outta prison, we thought it only fitting that she welcome back to the bottom of our family.

Mm-hmm. Unlike you, EJ Hunt. They generously offered me a room back in my ancestral home. Now how kind of them, and I’m sure Kristin’s voting chairs have nothing to do with it. Did I hear someone say voting chairs? You must be. Stephan. It’s a pleasure to meet you. I’m your sister. Ah, hi in Hathaway. Yes, of course.

Uh, this is my fiance, Gabby Hernandez, soon to be Damara. Charmed. So did EJ tell you that I’m moving in? No, actually he did not. How could I turn down a dira? A Hathaway? It’s what father would want. I couldn’t agree more. Oh, then you should join us for the dinner I had planned to celebrate our sister’s return.

Celebrate the return of both of our sisters and wouldn’t miss it. Wonderful. I’ll just give Tony a call. Make sure he is able to do this.

Wow. Don’t look so stricken. My darling. Wasn’t exactly the work of her killed Pearl. Listen, I know that recently you’d become Nicole’s confidant. And that you kept one secret for her that is to there reason that you would keep another, well, fine. You figured it out. You’re a genius. Okay, but please, Tony, you can’t tell the soul.

Why not? It’s not as if she can keep it a secret for very long. True, true. But Nicole doesn’t know who the father is. Dear. Mm mm And she’s going to take a paternity test very soon. But until then, she doesn’t want EJ to know that she might be carrying another man’s child because he would, I’m sure you would agree, kick her out of the mansion on her tushy and she would like to avoid that.

Oh, that’s understandably. Mm-hmm. So, Now that I’ve explained my predicament, you won’t tell anyone, will you? Anna? I appreciate your loyalty to Nicole, but you must appreciate my loyalty to my brother. He has a right to know that his partner is pregnant and he will as soon as she finds out who the father is.

But until then, can’t you just keep this. To yourself. I mean, surely a lie of omission doesn’t count against your loyalty.

Oh, hello, ej.

Oh, we’d be delighted to come. Mm-hmm.

Okay. Oh, well. Nothing could keep us away. See you there. . Hmm. What’s going on? EJ is throwing a celebratory dinner party for a special member of the family to welcome back into the fold. He said he can’t wait for us to attend.

Kristen. Kristen, welcome home, Hannah. Oh, it’s so good to see you. It’s so wonderful to be back.

Here you go. Oh, I don’t mind if I do. Well, BJ said that we’d be welcoming harm a beloved family member, and I suspected it might be you. Oh, actually I have a feeling that I wasn’t the prodigal sibling he was, uh, referring to into Well, we’re delighted to see Kristen return home. I was actually talking about Megan.

Megan Hathaway, so it’s true. You’re alive. As we all know, I’m not the first dememer to come back from the grave. Tony, it’s lovely to see you. I see she doesn’t even crack a up. Tim,

what is going on here? Since when do we throw welcome home parties? For Excon siblings, since I am also a member of that club, I think you’d appreciate my strategy. I saw an opportunity to enlist another demira vote in my favor, so he extended a warm embrace, but it seems our brother has the same idea. So for tonight at least, well, We’re all just one big happy family, aren’t we?

Hmm.

Well, sounds like we’re gonna have dinner with Eric and Sloan. Are we welcoming her to the family or no? No, I don’t, I don’t think we have to go that far. I mean, it, it’s, it’s obviously America’s very attached to her, so I think we’ve gotta give her the benefit of the doubt. For his sake. For his sake, of course.

Yeah. And since Eric is clearly very fond of her, she must have some redeeming qualities. I hope so. I just don’t know how my presence at the dinner is going to uplift her spirits at all, nor John and mine. Oh, are you kidding me? Given Sloan’s reputation, I’m sure she’s very eager for your stamp of approval if you’re willing to give it.

That is. Well, regardless of how I or anybody in Salem feels about Sloan, Eric is devoted to her, so unless we hear something of the contrary, we have to assume that, that she’s good for him and we have to give our false support.

Here you go. This kit has a few swabs, more than enough to get samples from EJ or Eric. Easier said than done. H. H. How am I gonna get a cheek swab without explaining what it’s for? I need to have one of them. The truth. Okay, listen. Come back when you get a sample. Good luck.

Oh God, what’s wrong now? You know, I saw Kaylee just gave you that box way you’re holding it. You think there’s a live grenade in it?

Potentially. There is cheek swab. I have to get one from at least one of them. I see. Yeah. That’s kind of a hard thing to ask for, you know, without follow up questions. What about while ejs sleeping? You know, just get in there quickly, quietly. Oh yeah. And. Watch him wake up while I’m probing him. How would I explain that?

That’d be tricky. Impossible. Actually, no, no. I, I’m, I’m just gonna have to figure this one out on my own.

What if I did it? What if I did it not to ej? Obviously you would get a sample from Eric. Shouldn’t be too hard. I mean, God man. The very sound sleeper, which I’m sure you remember. Look, I know this isn’t ideal. I. But considering your current predicament, maybe just file this one under, don’t look a gift.

Horse in the mouth. And what if Eric figures out what you’re doing? I’ll lawyer my way. Outfit. No, you know what, no. Forget it. I, I, I’m, I’m gonna have to figure this out on my own. Like I said, I will, I will get a sample from EJ somehow. And what if you can’t, then what?

Well, good for you. Yeah, thanks for the info. Bye.

Who was that? That was, that was Kristen. Now that she’s back in town, she was just letting me know where she’s staying and where is she staying. Apparently she is moving back in with the family.

Everyone. Everyone. Attention please attention. Now that we’re all together, I think a toast is in order. I could not agree more, brother, and if you don’t mind my fiance Gabby, and I would like to welcome my sister Kristen, back to the Dara home. Where she belongs. Thank you to Kristen. Aww. Yes. Thank you Stefan.

And to our other sister, Megan Hathaway. About that. I think it’s long overdue that I take the family name. After all, I’m not really a Hathaway. The purpose of that name was served long ago. I am now claiming to be a Demer completely and entirely

here, here to.

Well, I’d like to say a thank you to the two of you for your kind words on behalf of the family. But now AJ, there is something I’d like to say to you.

I know I’m not your first choice. In doing this, but who else can you turn to? Just gimme one swap and we’ll both go and try and get a sample ready. Say you’ll double your chances of success.

Unless you wanna come clean to both Eric and ej, just tell them the truth. I don’t know, maybe it’s easier if you just get everything out on the table.

But on the other hand, with everything that I’m going through, I brother, his case, I can’t look, I need support from Eric. I can’t have him distracted by everything that’s going on, thinking that he could. Maybe fathered your child

and if EJ believes I’m carrying another man’s baby, he will go ballistic. And obviously I, I wanna avoid that. And potentially we can, so sounds like we’re in agreement.

What’s going on?

Update written by Joseph

Megan enters the DiMera Mansion and talks to the portrait of Stefano, saying it feels perfect to be back here. Megan notes that even though Stefano is only there in spirit, she is filled with his power and authority. Megan declares she has spent her life searching and traveling the world, but now she is finally home where she belongs. EJ walks in and asks who the hell she is and what the hell she’s doing in his house.

Gabi and Stefan have drinks in the town square, celebrating her upcoming divorce. Stefan says soon they will have an even bigger celebration in front of their family and loved ones as they become Mr. and Mrs. DiMera once again. Gabi and Stefan kiss until Kristen approaches and asks if there’s any chance she can be maid of honor.

Brady complains to Marlena about Kristen and how Rachel is right in the middle of it. Marlena knows how angry he is and that he wishes he never had to see Kristen again. Brady knows he needs to for Rachel’s sake. Marlena talks about how much they endure for their children. Brady guesses he will have to endure Kristen for the rest of his life. Marlena encourages that everyone who loves him will be there too. Eric shows up at the door and says he heard about Kristen. Brady says she was just there and it did not go well. Eric says he’s sorry and that he’s there if he needs anything. Marlena says she’s so glad that Eric came by. Eric reveals that he came by because he has some news of his own to share.

Nicole is at the hospital and gets a call from Anna, who asks how she is doing. Nicole says she’s fine and asks if something is wrong. Anna says not at all and she just wanted to check on her to see how things are going. Anna asks if Nicole picked up the pre-natal vitamins. Nicole confirms that she did. Nicole hopes Anna is alone and no one is within ear shot of her. Anna assures that no one is going to hear about this pregnancy from her. Tony then appears and surprises Anna. Anna tells Nicole that she has to hang up now and will talk to her later. Nicole questions if someone is there. Anna claims that it’s just the waiter as she hangs up. Tony sits with Anna and questions who she was chatting with just now. Anna claims that it was just a wrong number but Tony doesn’t believe her because he hung up as if he caught her with her hand in the cookie jar. Tony reveals that he did hear her say that she’s keeping a pregnancy a secret. Tony asks who she was talking to and if he knows this person who is with child. Anna says that Tony does know her very well. Anna calls it very surprising and shocking, claiming that she just found out that she herself is pregnant.

Megan informs EJ that she has as much right to be here as he does and calls him baby brother. EJ is shocked and says he just heard about her release from prison but he didn’t think she would show up here. Megan asks where else she would go since this is her home. Megan states that her name might be Hathaway, but she is a DiMera through and through which means that her place is in this house and in the family business.

Gabi is shocked to see Kristen. Kristen guesses they haven’t heard her news that she is a free woman. Gabi questions how she got released from prison. Kristen reveals it was an immunity deal. Kristen asks if she interrupted but says she overheard their wedding plans, so she congratulates them. Kristen tells Gabi that she would be more than happy to stand up for her on her special day. Gabi says when Hell freezes over.

Marlena tells Eric not to keep them in suspense on the news. Eric announces that Sloan has been cleared of all charges and they now know that she was not the one going after Paulina and Chanel. Marlena acknowledges that must be a big relief for him. Brady points out that someone obviously has it out for them and brings up Abe just being attacked at the bakery. Marlena asks if anybody knows who it is. Eric reveals that it is Sloan’s brother, Colin.

Sloan goes to the hospital and sees Nicole pacing. Sloan asks if Nicole is picking up more pre-natal vitamins. Nicole tells her to keep her voice down. Sloan realizes she still hasn’t told anybody that she’s pregnant. Nicole informs her that she’s actually here to see Abe, who Sloan’s brother violently assaulted and remarks that she probably put him up to it. Sloan argues that she had nothing to do with it. Nicole yells at her to save it because they both know why her brother came to town and why Abe is lying in a hospital bed.

Tony questions Anna saying that she is pregnant. Anna says she realizes it must be a shock to him. Tony asks how she found out. Anna claims that Dr. Rolf was working on experimental fertility treatments and she was intrigued, so she offered to be his guinea pig and she hit pay dirt.

Kristen questions Gabi’s hostility. Gabi reminds Kristen that she and Li conspired against her and kept Stefan being alive from her while brainwashing him to hate her and love Chloe. Gabi says luckily for her, the plan failed miserably. Gabi tells Kristen that Stefan loves her more than she could ever comprehend. Gabi asks why she would ever let Kristen anywhere near her at her wedding when they are getting married in spite of her best efforts. Gabi doesn’t even understand why Kristen did all of that since she’s not even with Brady. Stefan tries to calm Gabi down, warning that maybe she shouldn’t make an enemy out of Kristen. Gabi argues that Kristen is the enemy. Stefan points out that Kristen is his sister and reminds Gabi that they might need her vote. Gabi reluctantly admits that she sees his point and then offers Kristen champagne.

EJ questions Megan wanting her place in the family business. Megan states that all of Stefano’s heirs has a right to a piece of his empire and all that comes with it, including a vote to who runs the company. EJ says that’s true but Megan has been presumed dead for almost 30 years. Megan is assure the DiMera lawyers can handle it and imagines that EJ would want to be her ally in this situation as it could work in his favor. Megan brings up that EJ and Stefan are locked in a power struggle for control of the company. Megan says her vote might be the difference between his triumphant victory or his crushing defeat, so she guesses he wants to keep her on his good side. EJ then offers her champagne.

Tony tells Anna that this is the most wonderful news that she is surprising him with the blessing of a child which he calls a miracle. Anna calls for a toast but Tony reminds her that she can’t drink while with child as they have to think of their baby for 9 months. Anna gets uncomfortable as Tony talks about all she has to give up. Tony says they are on this journey together and he’ll make sure he’s at every one of her appointments. Anna tells him that he doesn’t have to do that since he is very busy. Tony says their baby will be the top priority from now on. Tony says they will get rid of all the wine in the wine cellar so that she doesn’t get tempted, unless of course she is not pregnant at all and that she was discussing someone else’s pregnancy. Tony asks if she would like to tell him who it is now. Anna complains that she can’t and that’s why she made up the ridiculous story about Dr. Rolf’s fertility treatment. Anna informs Tony that she was sworn to secrecy and refuses to break her solemn vow. Tony then guesses that it’s Nicole.

Sloan repeats to Nicole that she had nothing to do with Abe while Nicole argues that she knows Sloan had her brother do her dirty work. Kayla interrupts and asks what’s going on here. Sloan says she was just going to check on her brother and walks away. Nicole asks Kayla how Abe is doing. Kayla says he’s still in recovery and they are waiting for tests to come back, but he’s holding on. Kayla asks what was going on. Nicole informs her that Sloan unfortunately found out that she’s pregnant. Nicole says Sloan is hoping Eric’s not the father and is just as anxious to find out. Nicole wants to take the paternity test sooner than later. Kayla says she can get an accurate result next week. Nicole agrees to that as long as Eric or EJ don’t find out before they get the test results. Kayla thinks that will be improbable.

Eric tells Brady and Marlena about Colin and insists that if Sloan knew, she would’ve put a stop to it. Marlena repeats that it must be a relief since she knows Eric and Sloan are getting closer. Eric says that Sloan’s going through a tough time because Colin is in the hospital with injuries and he expects her to be his lawyer. Eric adds that he’s just trying to do whatever he can to help so he came to ask for Marlena’s help. Marlena asks how she can help. Eric brings up that Sloan mentioned wanting them to have dinner with John and Marlena as he really thinks it would lift her spirits. Marlena asks if it would just be the four of them. Eric invites Brady but he doesn’t want to be a fifth wheel. Eric insists that he would love for him to be there and that he can bring whoever he wants. Brady jokes about the choices he has. Eric apologizes for being insensitive as he knows he’s not seeing anyone. Brady says he only has one woman in his life right now and that would be Kristen, who is doing her damndest to ruin his life, so he won’t bring her to dinner.

Kristen mocks the idea that now that her vote is on the table, suddenly she’s invited to the celebration. Gabi claims she never said she wasn’t invited. Stefan argues that planning a wedding can be stressful and Gabi lashed out without thinking. Kristen adds that they are feuding with EJ over the company and they need her. Gabi admits they have been feuding over DiMera, but ever since Stefan came back, she’s been worried about losing him again so seeing Kristen triggered her and reminded her of everything they had been through. Gabi acknowledges that Kristen did save Stefan from Li pulling the plug on him and says she just wasn’t thinking clearly when she lashed out at her. Kristen says she can respect that and admits she may have acted a bit irrationally in the past. Kristen says they can both make it up to her by taking her home with them.

EJ pours champagne and toasts to Megan’s triumphant return to Salem. They joke about regular returns from the death around here. Megan asks where the rest of the family is. EJ informs her that everyone should be back in time for dinner, which tonight he says will be held in Megan’s honor.

Gabi questions Kristen wanting them to take her home with them. Kristen feels it’s not a strange request since she is a DiMera after all. Stefan realizes that she wants to move in to the mansion with them. Kristen says that Brady made it clear that she’s not welcome at Marlena’s and she doesn’t have a lot of friends in Salem. Kristen suggests they help each other out and asks about owning the house. Stefan says that’s up for debate. Kristen decides they can discuss that on their way home and walks off with Gabi and Stefan.

Nicole asks Kayla how EJ and Eric can find out that she’s pregnant before they get the test results. Kayla explains that she will need a blood sample from her and a cheek swab from the potential father. Nicole is shocked and asks what she was thinking, questioning how she can get a cheek swab from Eric and EJ without telling them what it’s for. Kayla points out that she only has to get it from one of them and if it doesn’t match, then it would be the other. Kayla encourages Nicole to just get one sample. Kayla agrees to go get the kit and if Nicole can collect that sample this week, then they will find out who her baby’s father is.

Brady tells Eric that if he really wants him to come to dinner, he’d be happy to attend. Marlena agrees that she and John will as well. Eric thanks them and says he really appreciates it. Eric decides to go see if Sloan needs anything since she’s been at the hospital with Colin all day. Eric says he’ll be in touch about dinner and that he’s sorry about Kristen as he exits.

EJ talks to the portrait of Stefano and admits that Megan’s return was a surprise but as long as he keeps her on his side. Stefan and Gabi then come home with Kristen. Kristen notices the champagne and calls it nice to celebrate her return home which EJ questions. Stefan reveals that they asked Kristen to move in. Gabi calls it only fitting since she’s released from prison. Kristen remarks that unlike EJ, they generously offered her a room. EJ remarks that he’s sure Kristen’s voting shares had nothing to do with it. Megan comes back in to the room and asks if she heard someone say voting shares. Megan then introduces herself to Stefan and Gabi. Megan asks if EJ told them that she’s moving in which Stefan says he did not. EJ says he couldn’t turn down a DiMera and invites them to join the dinner to celebrate his sister’s return. Stefan says he wouldn’t miss it. EJ says he will just give Tony a call to make sure he’s able to join them.

Tony tells Anna that he knows she has recently become Nicole’s confidant and she kept a secret for her, so it stands to reason that she would keep another. Anna admits that he figured it out and begs him not to tell a soul. Tony asks why not since Nicole can’t keep it secret for very long. Anna says that’s true but reveals that Nicole doesn’t know who the father is, so she’s going to take a paternity test very soon but until then, she doesn’t want EJ to know that she might be carrying another man’s child because he would kick her out of the mansion and she’d like to avoid that. Tony calls that understandable. Anna asks if Tony will agree not to tell anyone. Tony appreciates her being loyal to Nicole, but argues that she must appreciate him being loyal to EJ, who has a right to know that his partner is pregnant. Anna argues that he will know as soon as she finds out who the father is. Anna asks Tony to keep it to himself until then and thinks it won’t count against him being loyal. Tony then gets a call from EJ and says they would be delighted to come. Tony says nothing could keep them away and he’ll see him there as he hangs up. Anna asks what’s going on. Tony informs her that EJ is throwing a celebratory dinner party to welcome a special member of the family back in to the fold and said he can’t wait for them to attend.

Anna and Tony return home, surprised to see Kristen. Tony welcomes Kristen home. She hugs him and says it’s wonderful to see him and to be back. Tony says he suspected it might be Kristen when EJ said they were welcoming home a family member. Kristen reveals it wasn’t her that he was referring to. EJ then introduces Megan. Anna is shocked to see that Megan is alive. Megan jokes that she’s not the first DiMera to come back from the grave. Tony steps aside with EJ and questions what is going on and since when they celebrate ex con siblings. EJ thinks he would appreciate his strategy and explains that he saw an opportunity to enlist another DiMera vote in his favor, but it seems Stefan has the same idea, so for tonight, they are all just one big happy family. Anna steps aside with Tony to ask what he and EJ were talking about.

Brady tells Marlena that it sounds like they are having dinner with Eric and Sloan. Brady asks if they are welcoming Sloan to the family. Marlena doesn’t think they have to go that far but thinks they have to give Sloan the benefit of the doubt for Eric’s sake. Marlena says that since Eric is very fond of her, she must have some redeeming qualities. Brady hopes so but he doesn’t know how his presence at the dinner will uplift her spirits at all. Marlena feels the same but Brady says he’s sure that Sloan is eager for her stamp of approval. Marlena says regardless of how anyone feels about Sloan, Eric is devoted to her so they have to assume that she’s good for him and they have to give their full support.

Kayla brings Nicole the kit for cheek swabs. Nicole questions how she’s going to get one without telling them what it’s for. Kayla suggests maybe telling one of them the truth. Kayla tells her to just come back when she gets a sample and wishes her luck as she walks away. Sloan returns to Nicole and asks what’s wrong now. Sloan questions the box that she’s holding. Nicole explains that she has to get a cheek swab from EJ or Eric. Sloan sees that’s a hard thing to ask for without all the questions. Sloan suggests doing it while EJ is sleeping. Nicole asks how she would explain it if he woke up. Sloan admits it’d be tricky. Nicole decides that she’ll just have to figure this out on her own. Sloan then asks what if she did it to Eric. Sloan knows it’s not ideal, but considering her predicament, they can file this under don’t look a gift horse in the mouth. Nicole worries about Eric figuring out what she’s doing. Sloan says she will lawyer her way out of it. Nicole tells her to forget it as she has to figure this out on her own and she will get a sample from EJ somehow. Sloan asks what if she can’t.

Brady finishes a call with Kristen and informs Marlena that she was just letting him know that she will be moving back in to the DiMera Mansion.

EJ calls for a toast. Stefan agrees and says he and Gabi would like to welcome Kristen back to the DiMera home, where she belongs. Stefan and Gabi toast to Kristen. EJ then says to their other sister, Megan Hathaway. Megan steps forward and announces she thinks it’s time that she take the family name as she is now claiming to be a DiMera completely and entirely. EJ then toasts to Megan DiMera. Tony thanks them for their kind words on behalf of the family, but now there is something he’d like to say to EJ, causing Anna to worry.

Sloan knows she’s not Nicole’s first choice, but asks who else she can turn to. Sloan asks for one swab and they’ll both try to get a sample so it will double her chances of success, unless she wants to come clean to both Eric and EJ. Sloan suggests maybe it’s easier to tell them the truth and get everything out on the table, but on the other hand, she’s going through everything with Colin and his case so she needs support from Eric and she can’t have him distracted by thinking he could have maybe fathered her child. Nicole worries that EJ will go ballistic if he believes she’s carrying another man’s baby and she wants to avoid that. Sloan says it sounds like they are in agreement. Nicole then opens the kit, but Eric arrives and questions what is going on here.

Update written by Joseph

Xander is drilling on the wall of his apartment until Chloe comes in and questions all the noise. Xander explains that he is re-hanging up the pictures that fell off the wall, but it falls down again.

Kristen shows up at Marlena’s door and asks if she missed her.

Andrew shows up at Paul’s door and surprises him. They embrace as John smiles.

Roman and Kate have breakfast at the Brady Pub. Roman calls it her first full day back in Salem, so whatever she wants to do, they are doing it. Kate says she’d really like to go to the prison to see Lucas, so he can see his mom is alive and well and so she can see how he’s doing. Roman admits it will be a relief and he will be thrilled. Kate adds that she will also want to pay a visit to Megan Hathaway and give her a piece of her mind. Megan then enters the Pub and declares that it looks like she saved her the trouble. Roman stands up and stands in between Megan and Kate. Megan says she won’t lay a finger on Kate because she’s of no use to her now. Megan adds that she wouldn’t want to jeopardize her new found freedom. Kate questions how the hell she is free and how she got out of prison.

Chad remains in Greece and is on the phone with Stephanie, explaining that he didn’t go back to Salem with Roman and Kate because he wanted to see this thing through. Chad doesn’t believe Dimitri’s story about holding Andrew hostage and feels he’s using it as a bargaining chip for immunity. Chad adds that after what Dimitri did to Kate, he needs to make sure he’s headed back to the Alamainan prison where he belongs. Chad tells Stephanie that he will call her tonight and hangs up as Dimitri shows up at his door.

Shawn remains in Greece, on the phone with Belle. Shawn complains about sitting around waiting for anything to happen with Bo. Shawn wishes he could go back in time and not pull the trigger. Shawn hangs up with Belle as Harris Michaels enters the room. Shawn questions what the hell he’s doing there. Harris responds that he needs to see Hope.

Xander tells Chloe to be his guest if she thinks he can do a better job hanging the picture, so Chloe tells him to hand her the drill.

Shawn tells Harris that he’s not getting anywhere near Hope as she made it very clear that she wants nothing to do with him. Harris explains that he’s not here because he wants Hope back, but to warn her. Harris says he’s actually hear to warn all of them which Shawn questions.

Marlena threatens to call 911 to have Kristen dragged back to prison. Kristen asks if she really thinks she’d show up here if she broke out of prison. Marlena asks if she got another pardon. Kristen reveals that she got granted full immunity courtesy of her new found sister, Megan. Marlena argues that Megan doesn’t even know Kristen so she questions why she would help her. Kristen responds that family is the gift that keeps on giving. Kristen explains that she and Megan met and bonded in prison as long lost sisters, reunited at least. Kristen shows Marlena her papers to prove it and tells her to read them and weep.

Megan shows Roman her prison release papers and remarks that she does miss the fish market. Kate tells her to go to Hell. Megan reminds Kate that she saved her life, so she could at least show gratitude. Kate questions how Megan got immunity after what she did to her, Marlena, and Kayla. Roman states that it’s Dimitri Von Leuschner.

Dimitri informs Chad that he came to share the good news in person that he’s free with full immunity. Chad questions Dimitri kidnapping Andrew and getting rewarded with full immunity. Dimitri understands his disappointment since he considers Kate family and wants to see him pay for what happened to her. Chad warns that he will make him pay. Dimitri urges Chad to reconsider where he’s loyal because Kate is happily back home with her husband, so no harm done. Chad argues that he put her through Hell and calls him a son of a bitch. Dimitri says he meant there’s no lasting harm. Dimitri thinks Chad’s outrage on Kate’s behalf is over the top since Kate isn’t true family or blood related, like he is. Chad argues that they are not related but Dimitri reveals that Chad’s sister Megan is his mother. Chad is shocked to learn that Dimitri is a DiMera as Dimitri jokes about calling him Uncle Chad. Chad says he doesn’t like him, they are not related, and he wants him to leave. Dimitri asks if this news is of no interest of him. Chad says it’s not. Dimitri knows he only knows Megan through reputation but encourages him to keep an open mind, assuring him that Megan is a fascinating woman. Chad says he’s heard that Megan is a crazy bitch with a heart of stone who belongs in prison. Chad says he won’t get to know her for a very long time since she is in prison, but Dimitri reveals that Megan and Kristen have been sprung from prison as they got a very good deal. Dimitri admits that it did get a little risky adding Kristen to the mix. Chad questions why he would risk the deal for somebody like Kristen. Dimitri calls that not a nice way to talk about his sister. Dimitri praises Kristen. Chad tells him to shut up as he doesn’t even know Kristen. Dimitri says he does know Kristen well since she got to know Megan in prison and he had the means to help. Dimitri tells Chad that now they can head back to Salem and be one big happy family and asks what Chad says to that.

Kristen remarks that Marlena is looking rather refreshed and asks if Megan gave her a dose of her fountain of youth serum. Marlena asks what she wants. Kristen says she came to tell her that she’s no longer the chief maternal figure in her daughter’s life, because she’s home to stay. Marlena argues this is not her home. Kristen points out that it is Rachel’s home. Brady then comes in and sees Kristen.

Chloe hangs the picture on the wall. Xander asys he can take it from here. Chloe argues that she did all the work. Xander straightens the picture and says now it’s perfect. Chloe tells him that she will hang the other picture while Xander can clean up. Xander argues that now that Chloe showed him the correct technique, he can handle it while Chloe just cleans. Chloe questions if she’s supposed to stick to the woman’s work. Xander remarks that he just meant she’s a better cleaner than he is. Chloe says that isn’t much better but says she will clean up and mentions going from an orphanage to foster care and having PTSD when it comes to cleaning. Xander relates and tells her to forget about it as he’ll just clean up after he’s done. Chloe reminds him that she promised to keep up the housework until she finds gainful employment, so she asks him to just let her do it. Chloe adds that she doesn’t usually lounge around all morning in her pajamas. Chloe is sure that he thought she would have a job by now and be able to pay her own way. Chloe doesn’t think it’s fair that Xander pays the rent, so she’s starting to think that moving in with him was a mistake.

Marlena tells Brady that she’s sorry that she didn’t have time to warn him. Brady informs her that he heard on the news and figured Kristen would be here. Brady says he came to warn Marlena and John but she beat him to it. Kristen responds that she came to see her daughter. Brady informs her that Rachel is in P.E. class and remarks that she would be aware of that if she had any involvement in Rachel’s day to day. Kristen blames Brady. Marlena says that’s enough. Marlena says Kristen came to see Rachel and she’s not here, so she is welcome to go now. Kristen refuses to leave until she knows when she gets to see her daughter. Kristen reminds Brady that they had a deal since she wrote Rachel the letter, urging her to give Chloe a chance. Brady says the problem was that Rachel didn’t believe a word of it because Kristen poisoned her mind with lies about Chloe for months now. Kristen argues that they weren’t lies and remarks that she knew Chloe would leave him for the first man to come around and now she’s already moved in with Xander. Brady asks how she found out about that. Kristen informs him that Rachel wrote her a letter. Kristen thinks Chloe and Xander make a great couple as they both have no substance or morals and are utterly detestable. Marlena doesn’t think Kristen is in any position to lecture anyone about morals. Kristen brings up that Marlena has been possessed by the devil twice. Brady tells Kristen that Chloe and Xander are not together as they are just roommates. Kristen asks how long he thinks that will last as she remarks that Xander will get any woman he knows in to bed sooner than later, including ones that claim to hate him.

Xander asks Chloe what’s wrong and if she doesn’t like the apartment or him as her roommate. Chloe says it’s just her and guesses she wasn’t being very realistic about her prospects in the labor market. Chloe knows there are jobs out there and she could flip burgers or drive a ride share, but there are not a lot of opportunities for opera singers in Salem or fashion merchandisers outside of DiMera. Xander suggests she give voice lessons. Chloe says she had this idea of reinventing herself and trying something new, but no one is interested in what she has to offer. Xander finds that hard to believe. Chloe admits she leapt in to this living situation, partly to piss off Brady which worked but it wasn’t as satisfying as she thought it would be since she and Brady are still apart. Xander guesses she’s still in love with Brady. Chloe feels she’s just at loose ends. Xander doesn’t think she should make any major life decisions like moving then. Xander adds that he would be really sad if she moved out. Xander reveals that he picked up a dart board for their apartment so they can play and says they can split the cleaning even though she is better at it. Xander encourages her to stay, so Chloe agrees to give their living arrangement a little more time. Xander then asks Chloe if she would like to come work for him.

Kate remarks that Megan being Dimitri’s mother makes sense. Megan argues that Kate is so ungrateful since Dimitri pulled her out of the sea and saved her life just as much as she did while she never thanked him. Kate complains that it was under Megan’s orders to torture her. Megan remarks that she could’ve told him to let her drown, but instead she was treated like royalty in the end. Roman questions Megan planning this as he thought she believed Kate was really dead. Megan says she did at first but figured out what must have happened and planned accordingly. Megan tells Roman that he should know by now that she’s always one step ahead of him. Roman asks how Megan knows so much about what happened on the boat while she was in prison. Megan states that Dimitri tells her everything. Megan brings up Lucas being behind bars. Kate warns her to keep her son’s name out of her mouth. Megan says she’ll just keep talking about how grateful she is that Dimitri is free. Roman asks if she just came to gloat. Megan responds that she came because she has pressing business to discuss with him.

Harris reveals to Shawn that Megan is Dimitri’s mother and explains that Dimitri refused to accept the immunity deal unless they included Megan and Kristen which shocks Shawn. Harris wanted Shawn and Hope to be the first to know because Megan will have her sights on Bo. Harris asks if he can talk to Hope for one minute and promises to do whatever it takes from now on to keep Bo and Hope safe. Shawn tells Harris that he’s done enough and he will take it from here as he then exits the room.

Chad says it’s insane to think they would be one big happy family. Chad asks if Dimitri, Megan, and Kristen are all going to move in to the DiMera Mansion which he confirms. Chad says it’s a good thing he moved out when he did then. Dimitri questions his attitude and suspects that they have a lot more in common than he thinks. Dimitri asks Chad to call the DiMera Jet so they can get to know each other on the ride home.

Roman tells Megan if she’s here to make more threats, she can leave or he can call the police on her for trespassing. Megan remarks that Roman used to be one of those cops that he’s now threatening to call and says the mighty have fallen. Kate asks what Megan wants since she already said that she’s of no use to her. Megan brings up Rachel’s letter to Kristen, saying that Bo was shot by his idiot son and asks how he is. Roman informs her that Bo is in a coma but they don’t blame Shawn because if anyone is to blame, it’s Megan. Megan declares that if it wasn’t for her, Bo wouldn’t even be alive. Roman argues that if it wasn’t for her, Bo would have been here with his family for months but she had to try to make Bo love her. Roman calls that an epic fail because after just a short time with Hope, their love was stronger than ever. Megan remarks that was before Hope’s son put him in a coma. Roman encourages that Bo is a fighter so he will make it through this and when he does, his heart will belong to Hope and only Hope. Megan declares that she will have to fly to Greece then to make sure that doesn’t happen.

Shawn returns to Harris and comments on him still being there. Shawn informs him that he told Hope what he said as they are in the process of moving Bo to a long term care facility. Harris comments on the process going slowly. Shawn says they hoped to move Bo to Montreal so they could be close to Hope’s home but obviously that’s the first place that Megan would look, so they need to find some place else that is secure where no one can track him down.

Chloe asks if Xander is serious about her working for him. Xander reminds her that he’s co-owner of the Spectator and has an ownership stake with the power to fire and hire. Chloe argues that she’s not qualified for anything at the newspaper. Xander encourages that they could use her in advertising and marketing and she’s already an expert on music and fashion so she’d be perfect. Chloe argues that he doesn’t know she can do those things or even if she can write. Xander declares that if Leo Stark can do it, why can’t she which Chloe admits is a good point. Chloe wonders if she should accept. Xander thinks she should but Chloe asks if them living together and working together isn’t a bit much. Xander thinks they can handle it and remarks that it’s not like they are sleeping together.

Brady points out to Kristen that Xander didn’t sleep with her when he was working for her, so he tells her to just shut her mouth about the subject. Kristen tells Brady that she’s sorry as she knows this must be painful for him. Brady knows that’s why she said it. Kristen argues that he needs a dose of reality. Kristen points out that Brady and Chloe have been on again off again for 20 years and it never lasts and never will. Brady compares it to the toxic relationship he’s had with Kristen being in and out but fortunately it’s been more out than in. Brady calls it a nightmare. Kristen disagrees and says they had some good times. Kristen adds that unlike Chloe, they share a daughter. Brady sometimes wishes they didn’t and that Kristen would stay the hell out of his daughter’s life. Kristen complains about Brady calling Rachel his daughter and shouts that she is as much her daughter as his which Brady calls a shame because Rachel has no idea how bad she is for all of them. Brady tells Kristen that she’s not going to stay here and put Marlena through Hell again. Kristen questions if he’s putting it on Marlena to get her out because he can’t do it himself. Kristen insists that’s why she knows Brady will come around again, because he always does.

Chloe cleans up the apartment while Xander jokes about hiring a housekeeper. Chloe tells him that she has a personal question about the job at the Spectator. Chloe wonders if Gwen is running the day to day operations and if that means she gets a say on new hires. Chloe guesses that Gwen isn’t happy they are living together and probably hates her. Xander says he will handle Gwen. Chloe asks what if he can’t handle her because she just left a really toxic work environment and she can’t deal with that again. Xander promises that Gwen won’t be a problem and tells her to focus on enjoying her new job. Xander adds that she will practically make her own hours, work from home, and be her own boss. Xander tells Chloe to get changed and he will give her a tour of the office which she accepts. Chloe thanks Xander and goes to change.

Brady questions Kristen not thinking he has it in him to kick her out. Kristen argues that he can’t keep her away from her daughter. Brady reminds her that he has full custody. Kristen brings up that Rachel took a rideshare to come visit her in prison. Kristen asks what he thinks Rachel is going to do when she finds out she’s back in town, arguing that he can’t keep them apart and that Rachel will hate him as much as Chloe. Brady says not if he makes her understand that Kristen is mentally disturbed person who refuses therapy. Brady doesn’t want Kristen near Rachel. Brady states that she may be her biological mother but she forfeited her parental rights when she became an evil person. Brady feels he would be considered an abusive father if he let Rachel around her for a minute right now. Kristen warns Brady that she will see him back in court then to revisit their custody arrangement. Kristen tells Brady to go to Hell and walks out.

Roman warns Megan that she does not want to go near Bo. Megan supposes there is no rush since Rachel’s letter made it clear that Bo has been quite unresponsive. Megan decides that she will delay her trip to Greece until Bo is closer to waking up while there’s plenty for her to accomplish in Salem. Kate asks if she means destroying more lives. Megan declares that her family is here and she wants to get to know them better while claiming her rightful place as a DiMera.

Harris gets that Shawn doesn’t trust him and he doesn’t blame him. Shawn is glad he understands and says they are done here. Harris then gives Shawn a heads up that when he leaves Greece, he will be flying home to Salem.

Brady asks Marlena why this is happening again. Marlena says she’s so sorry. Brady apologizes for everything Kristen is putting Marlena through. Marlena says they are fine but it’s Brady and Rachel that are suffering. Marlena adds that no judge anywhere would allow Kristen full custody of Rachel. Brady admits that Kristen is right that Rachel is going to want to see her mom and he’s going to look like the bad guy if he tries to put distance between them. Marlena understands he’s in a tough place. Brady calls it so hard to talk to Rachel right now when she’s so stubborn and hard to reason with. Marlena points out that she is just a little girl. Brady says she wants her parents to be together and in love but that’s not going to happen. Brady knows that’s part of the reason he can’t reason with her but another reason is that she is just so Kristen’s daughter. Marlena calls that one of the reasons she’s worried about her, but she’s also worried about Brady because she knows how much he wants to make Rachel happy. Brady knows Marlena thinks he will get sucked back in by Kristen and get back with her to make Rachel happy, but he can’t do it. Brady knows he needs to keep Rachel away from Kristen just as much as himself. Brady declares that Hell will freeze over before he gets back with Kristen, swearing that it won’t happen and nothing will change his mind about that.

Xander and Chloe walk through the town square with coffees until they run in to Kristen. Xander is shocked to see her while Kristen questions him as a news reporter, asking how she knows about his living situation and he knows nothing about hers. Chloe responds that they don’t care about whatever she’s doing or whoever she’s torturing. Chloe adds that if Kristen wants Brady, he’s all hers. Kristen assures that he will be and says she hopes that Chloe and Xander are very happy together.

Chad tells Dimitri that he doesn’t have the DiMera jet at his disposal. Dimitri says he’ll even fly coach if he can spend the time getting to know his uncle. Dimitri asks Chad for any insights on how to be accepted in to the family. Chad talks about how they all sleep with one eye open around each other. Chad doesn’t care if they are related, he doesn’t want a relationship with Dimitri ever. Dimitri responds that whether he wants to or not, they are still family so there will be holidays, weddings, and funerals, so they are going to spend quite a bit of time together. Dimitri hugs Chad and tells him that there is no escaping that as he exits the room.

Shawn doesn’t get why Harris would go to Salem. Harris explains that he grew up there, so Salem is the closest thing he’s ever had to a home. Harris admits that he has an ulterior motive and says he wants to keep an eye on Megan Hathaway, because he feels it’s his responsibility after everything he did while she was pulling the strings. Shawn tells him that it really isn’t and that he was a victim too. Harris feels he owes it to Hope to make sure Megan doesn’t hurt her and Bo. Shawn remarks that Harris won’t be the most popular guy in town but notes that’s coming from the guy who put his own dad in a coma. Harris says no one blames him for that but Shawn points out that his grandfather does. Shawn tells Harris that there’s enough blame to go around and right now, his priority is to make sure Bo gets moved to his new location safely. Shawn thanks Harris for the intel. Harris guesses he will see him in Salem as he then exits.

Roman and Kate sit back down at the Pub. Kate has lost her appetite and says she just wants to get to the prison to see Lucas. Roman gets a text from Shawn that Harris told him that Megan has been released, so Hope is making plans to keep Bo off her radar. Kate wishes them luck and says who knows what Megan has in store for them now that she’s back in town.

Megan enters the DiMera Mansion and approaches the portrait of Stefano on the wall as she proclaims that she is home.
