THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

What is that God awful noise. Oh, sorry. Did I wait you, are you kidding? You could have woken the dead. What are you doing? What went to the hardware store and per your sage advice? I got some of those wall anchors you were talking about and now I am rehanging this picture. Sorry. What’d you think? Is this straight?

Hmm. It’s a little

Kristen. Well, hello Marna. Did you miss me?

Okay. So this is your first full day back in Salem, so whatever you want to do, we’re doing it. I can make you an appointment for a massage. We could take a walk in a park. Pink. I can chill. The choice is yours. God, it all sounds so lovely, but honestly I would really love it if you could drive me over to Statesville.

Okay. I know. I just, I need to see Lucas and he needs to see his mom see that I’m alive and well and. Roman, I really wanna know how he’s doing. Yeah, no, I get that. That will be a big relief for Lucas. And a thrill. Well, I don’t know how thrilling it could be considering the situation he’s in. And also, I wanna pay a visit that.

Bitch Megan in Hathaway, and give her a little peace of my mind. Oh, it looks like I’ve saved you the trip.

All right, take a closer nap. Well relax, cowboy. I’m not gonna lay a finger on your wife. She’s of no use to me. Now, besides, I wouldn’t wanna do anything to jeopardize my newfound freedom. How the hell are you free? How did you get outta prison?

Well, I, I decided not to go back with Roman and Kate because I, I just, I need to see this thing through.

Well, I have my doubts about Dimitri’s story that he’s holding Andrew Hostage, and I think that he’s, he’s trying to use it for leverage. You know, it was a bargaining chip for Unity.

Well, I don’t know, after what he did to Kate, I need to make sure that his frog marched back to that Amania prison where he belongs.

Hey, Steph. Uh, I think, uh, my room service is here. Yeah, I ordered, uh, ordered lunch a little while ago. Yeah, I’ll call you tonight. I miss you too. Okay. One sec.

Deit. Just gonna feel like I’m gonna jump outta my skin bound, sitting around just waiting to see if my dad’s gonna twitch an eyelid or, or move a finger or something. I just. No, I would give anything to be able to turn back time and make it so I didn’t pull that trigger. Let me call you back, okay?

Michaels, what the hell you doing here? I need to see your mother.

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

Paper, thin walls. I don’t think it’s the wall’s fault. Look, I’ve just never been into putting up do dances on my own walls. You know, do dances. Isn’t that what your Americans say? Look, if you think you can do a better job, be my guess. Hand me the drill. Thank you. Do you have a stud finder? Excuse me. Have her mind.

You’re not getting anywhere near my mother. She made it very clear that she doesn’t want anything to do with you. I bet you understand. Okay. I’m not here because I want hope back. I’m here to warn her. Actually, I’m here to warn all of you. Warn us about what,

I don’t know how you got out of Statesville this time, but I’m calling 9 1 1 and having you dragged back. Ah. Do you really think that I’d come knocking at your door in my city’s if I had broken outta prison? What do you say? You got another pardon? Well, actually I, um, I got granted full immunity, courtesy of my newfound sister, Megan, Megan.

She doesn’t even know you. Why would she help you? Because family is the gift that keeps on giving. Oh, Megan and I met and bonded in Statesville two long lost sisters reunited at last. And, uh, here are my papers to prove it. Read ’em and

I must say, I do miss the fish market. It was so quaint. Hey, I don’t suppose I could still buy some live lobster. Go to hell, Kate. I did save your life. You could at least show nominal gratitude. How did you get immunity anyway after what you did to me and to Marlay and Tela, Dimitri Van Leitner?

May I, I wanted to share the good news in person. I’ve been free, so I see. So you kidnap Andrew Donovan, and you are, uh, rewarded with immunity so much for justice, huh? Well, I understand your disappointment misplaced as it might be because I know that you think of Caden’s family and you want to see me pay for what happened to her.

I did. I do. And I will make you pay. Noted, but I would urge you to reconsider where your loyalties lie for one, Kate is happily reunited with her husband in Salem. So no harm done. No harm done. You put her through hell, you son of a bitch. Okay, well, I will amend that to no lasting harm. But seriously, Chad, I mean this, uh, this outrage on Kate’s behalf.

It’s a little over the top, don’t you think? I mean, she’s, she’s not even a true family member. She’s not blood relations. I mean, not like, well, I am. Huh? You, we we’re not related. Oh, yes. You see, we are, you’re, uh, your sister Megan. She’s my, uh,

My mom, you’re the hi.

Okay, so what should I call you Uncle Chad? No, no. You shouldn’t call me. Um, no. Uh, I don’t like you. We’re not related. I want you to leave, leave. So this news is of no interest to you. Nope. Now, I understand that you only know my mother through reputation, but please try to have an open mind. I assure you she’s a fascinating woman.

She is smart, she is brave. I’ve, I’ve heard how, uh, smart and brave she is. Um, I’ve also heard that she’s a crazy bitch with the heart of stone, who, uh, who belongs in either, uh, a straight jacket or in prison. And, and in fact, since she is in prison, I won’t have to get to know her, uh, for a very long time.

Thank God, uh, about that. Um, she’s been sprung from prison. That is as has Auntie Kristen, who you mean you. Yeah. We got a very good deal for the three of us, although it did get a little risky adding Kristen to the mix. Then why would you do it? Why would you risk your deal for, for somebody like Kristen?

My, my mine? Not a very nice way to talk about your own sister. Who I happen to think’s a lovely woman. Talk about smart and brave shut. Oh, you don’t even know Kristen. You, the, the only thing you know about her is your fight with a, with a manie peacock. Yeah. Actually I do know her relatively well. That is, you see, my mother befriended her in Statesville.

I had the means to help and so I did. And now the two of us can head back to Salem and we can all be one big happy family. What do you say? Well, I must say you are looking rather refreshed considering you were re. Leah Garner. Oh, did Megan give you a dose of her fountain of use serum that she was telling me about?

Uh, maybe it’s just Botox.

What do you want? What do I want? Well, I came to tell Grandma Marmar that she was no longer the chief. Maternal figure in my daughter’s life. You see, mommy’s home to stay. This is not your home. Yes, but it is Rachel’s Brady. Surprise

there, huh? Alright, I, I can take it from here now that I’ve done all the work, well, not quite all. See that’s perfect. According to the king of due deaths, what are you doing? I’m gonna hang this other picture. You can clean up. I know. I mean now that you show me the correct technique, I’ll finish up and you can just clean.

Why? Because I’m supposed to stick to the woman’s work. No, that’s not, that’s not what I meant. I mean, it’s, all I meant was, you know, you are a better, cleaner upper than I am, so, That might be even worse. You, you know what? Just forget it. I will clean up. I a better cleaner uper than you are after spending years in foster care and then living in an orphanage, I learned very quickly how to make places sp and span.

So honestly, I guess I just have a little bit of p t s when it comes to cleaning. Oh, well, you know, after my stint schlepping manure for my uncle, I can, I can totally relate to that. But look, forget about it. I’ll just clean up after I finish hanging everything. No, it, it’s okay. I’ll do it. I promise to do the housework until I found gainful employment.

So just let me do it. And for the record, I don’t usually lounge around all morning in my pajamas.

Xander, I I’m sure you thought I would have a job by now and be able to pay my own way. I, I mean, I certainly did, and I don’t think it’s fair that you pay the rent all on your own. So I’m, I’m just starting to think that maybe this was a mistake, me moving in here with you.

Brady, I’m, I’m sorry I didn’t have time to warn you, but apparently Kristen was able to cut a deal. Yeah, I, I heard on the news, I figured she’d be here. Wow. And you came looking for me. How sweet. I came here to Warren, Marlene, and my father that you’d be coming. I guess you’d beat me to the punch, didn’t you?

Well, I was eager to see my daughter. Well, your daughters in pe, which you would be aware of. If you had any involvement in the day-to-day life of your daughter? I don’t know. It’s been what? Maybe a, a couple months, maybe a year since you had Oh, and, and, and, and whose fault is that? Okay. Okay. That’s enough.

You do, look, Kristen came to see her daughter. She’s not here. So you’re welcome to go now. I’m not leaving until I know when I get to see my daughter. Damnit Brady, we had a deal. You, you told me to write that letter urging Rachel to give Chloe a chance and I did. As much as it did it, it made my skin crawl.

I wrote that. I know you wrote the letter, Kristin. The problem was your daughter didn’t believe a word of it because you’ve been poisoning her mind with lies about Chloe for months now get the word lies. Oh my God. Oh, case in point, I knew that Chloe was going to leave you for the next red blooded male who came along and look what happened.

She’s already moved in with Xander. Oh, how’d you find out about that? Rachel wrote me a letter. She wrote you a letter about Chloe’s love life. Oh, all sorts of Salem happenings. I think her and Sandra make a great couple, don’t you? I mean, they both have no substance, no morals, and are utterly detestable to boot.

I don’t think you’re in a position to lecture anybody about morals. Says the woman who has been possessed by the devil twice. Xander and Chloe are not together. Kristen, they are roommates. Okay. Oh, just roommates. Mm-hmm. And how long do you think that’s gonna last? Xandra will get any woman he knows into bed sooner or later, usually sooner.

Even the ones that claim they hate him

wrong. Chloe, is it the apartment a decor or is it the roommate you’ve gone off of? No, it’s not any of those things. It’s me. It’s not the apartment, it’s me. That’s anyone. No, what I’m saying is I guess I just wasn’t being very realistic about my prospects on the labor market. Look, it’s just, I guess there are plenty of jobs out there.

You wanna flip burgers or drive a ride share, but it turns out there’s not a lot of job opportunities for opera singers in Salem. No surprise or fashion merchandisers for that fact outside of Dara C Couldn’t you like give voice lessons? Voice lessons here with the paper thin walls, like you said? Look, I guess I just, I had this idea that I was gonna reinvent myself and try something new, but no one’s interested in what I have to offer.

I find that very hard to believe. Chloe. Look, I guess I also kind of leapt into this living situation, partly because I wanted to piss off Brady. Yeah, it worked, didn’t it? Yeah, it did, but it, it wasn’t as satisfying as I thought it would be. I mean, here we are. He and I are, are still apart, and. And you’re still in love with him.

I just, I feel like I’m at loose ass. Well, that’s exactly why you shouldn’t make any big decisions right now in moving. That’s one of the major life decisions, Chloe. Not to mention that, I’ll be really sad if you move out. I mean, let’s just about to hang a another wall anchor there so I can put the, the dart board on that wall.

What dart board, the one I picked up this morning. If you move out where I’m gonna find another roommate that has your killer dart instinct, come on, stick around a bit longer, please. We’ll split the cleaning even though you are better at it than me and I’ll, I’ll give you space. I won’t bother you. Lucas.

Have fun. We can play darts and. I don’t know, do puzzles. I just bought a 2000 piece jigsaw puzzle that I will definitely need your help finishing, so, okay. Okay. I will give our living arrangement a little bit more time.

Ah, with that being said, I am gonna go get dressed and go pound the pavement. Oh, I just had a. I dunno, I didn’t think of this sooner. I mean, I, I guess I thought maybe it isn’t the kind of thing that you’re into or you haven’t really done it before and it doesn’t pay great. Plus, you’ve never really been my biggest fan, have you?

Although you have learned to tolerate me a bit more recently, but still in all, still in all. Would you like to come work for me, Chloe?

So you are deit two’s mother. Well, that really makes sense. Same shifty eyes, same cold heart. You’re so ungrateful. Dimitri pulled you dripping from the sea. He saved your life just as much as I did, and you haven’t bothered to thank him either. He pulled me from the sea on your order so you could torture me.

Well, I could have told him to let you drown, but instead you were treated like royalty in the end. In the end, after I cut the heads off a thousand fish. Okay, wait a minute. So this was all planned, Megan. I thought you believed that Kate was really dead. Well, I did it first, but then I figured out what must have happened and I acted accordingly.

I’m always one step ahead of you, Roman. You should know that by now. Really? Okay, so how do you know so much about what happened on that boat you were in Statesville. My son adores me, so of course he tells me everything. Now you have one of those mama’s boys as well, don’t you, Kate? Poor Lucas. It must be so hard on you that he’s behind bars.

Keep my son’s name out of your mouth fine. I’ll just keep talking about how grateful I am that my precious Dimitri is free as a bird. Megan, if you’re just here to glow time’s up. I’m not just here to gloat Chris. Oh, that’s strange. For some reason I keep wanting to call you that. I don’t know why. No, Roman.

I am not here to gloat. In fact, I have pressing business with you.

So you’re telling me that Megan Hathaway is Dimitri Ventilation’s mother. Yeah. Now Dimitri refused to accept the immunity deal unless we included Megan and Kristen. Oh God. But Kristen’s out too, and I wanted you in hope to be the first to know, because knowing Megan, she’s gonna have her sights on your father.

Could you just, could you ask your mom if I could just talk to her for one minute and listen, Sean, from here on out, I’m gonna do whatever it takes to protect your parents, keep them safe. Look, no offense, but I think you’ve done enough. I’ll take.

One big happy family. Yeah. One big happy family. That’s insane. It’s all insane. Wilson. Wow. Compared to the Von Leischner, the mayor seem like a, a pretty merry bunch. Yeah. Yeah. That’s what they say. The more deras the merrier. I’ll DJ Throwy and Stephan, they’re all gonna feel exactly the same way. Boy, I hope so.

Yeah. So then, um, you and your mom, and. Kristen, you’re all gonna, you’re all gonna move into the Dememer mansion. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Well, that’s a good thing. I moved out when I did then. Now is that the, the right attitude to have? Okay. Look, I think that maybe we got off on the wrong foot, uncle Chad, but I suspect that you and I have a lot more in common than you think, especially because we both grew up outside of the family.

So what do you say? You call up the Damer Chen and you and I can get to know each other on the ride home.

Look, if you just, uh, here to make more threats, there’s a door. Okay. You can get it out. Alright. I can call the police and they can come and haul you out for trespassing. Hmm. Funny, you used to be one of those cops that you’re now threatening to call. But instead you’re slinging hash how the mighty have fallen.

Oh, what do you want, Megan? You already said that I, I’m no longer any use to you. What do I always want? My little brother, Kristin got a letter from Rachel in prison. In it she wrote that Beau was shot by his idiot’s son, and he’s now in a coma. How is he? His condition is unchanged, but don’t blame Sean about that.

All right. If anybody’s the blame, it’s you. Of course it is, because if it weren’t for me, Bo wouldn’t even be alive. If it weren’t for you, Bo would’ve been here with his family for months. But no, you had to keep trying to make him love you and damn Megan, what an epic fail that was cuz just a little time with hope and no love, which just as strong as ever before her son put him in a coma, poses a fighter.

He’ll make it through this. Of course he will. And when he wakes up, his heart will belong to Hope and Only Hope. Well then I’ll just have to fly to Greece and make sure that doesn’t happen.

You still here? Huh? I told my mom what you said. Fortunately, we’re already in the process of my father to a long-term care facility where he can continue his recovery. It seems like progress is a little slow. Yeah, well, we were trying to move him to Montreal so he could be near my mom’s home, but obviously that’s the first place that Megan’s gonna look.

So we need to find someplace else, someplace that’s secure, someplace where nobody’s gonna be able to track him down. You know, like know Megan or, or Dimitri or Wolf, a roof, or even you

work for you. Are you serious? Of course I am. Have you forgotten us? I’m co-owner at The Spectator now. I mean, you don’t have to go on step back so that Gwen could run the day-to-day operations, but I have an ownership stake with the power to fire and hire. Okay. Well, I’m not qualified to do anything at the newspaper.

As long as you could do for us, we could use you in advertising, in marketing. You’d be an amazing arts editor. You’re already a, an expert in in music and fashion. You’d be perfect. Oh, okay. Slow down. You don’t know that I can do any of those things and you don’t even know if I can write. Of course I do. I saw the letter that you wrote to Landlord about the rent increase and it was masterful and effective.

So that hardly qualifies me to write for the Spectator. If Leo Stark can do it, why can’t you or anyone else for that matter. Good point. But uh, should I accept, which you absolutely should. For us living and working together. Isn’t that a bit much? Oh, well, no. I mean, we can handle it, right? It’s not like we’re sleeping together.

Did Xander sleep with you? When he was working for you? I don’t think so. So why don’t you just shut your mouth about the subject. Okay. Oh, I’m sorry, Brady. I know this must be painful for you. Of course you do. That’s why you said it. I said it because you need a dose of reality. You and Chloe have been on again, off again for what, 20 years?

And it never lasts. It never will. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It’s kinda like the toxic relationship that I’ve been in with you in and out and in and out. But you know, fortunately it’s been more out than in, you know, it’s actually, it’s been a nightmare. If you want to really think about Chris, please, please.

That is not true. We have had some good times, Brady, and unlike Chloe, you and I share a daughter. We do share a daughter, and sometimes I wish we didn’t. And sometimes I wish that you would just say the hell out of my daughter’s life. Your daughter. Your daughter. How dare you call her your daughter. She is as much mind as she is yours.

And that’s a shame. It is a shame because that little girl has no idea how bad you are for her, how bad you are for all of us. If you think you’re gonna stay here and put Marlena through hell again, think again. It’s not gonna happen. She’s not gonna put up with your crap anymore. Wow. You’re blaming this all on Marlena.

To get me out. I mean, what I’m guessing you can’t do it yourself, can you? And guess what, Brady, that is why I know you’re gonna come around again, because you always do.

You, uh, Mr. Scott, be my guest. Ugh, you know what? I might just go ahead and, uh, get as a housekeeper pronto rather than do a crappy job. Well before you do that, uh, I have, I have a question for you about the job at The Spectator, and it’s kind of a personal one. Okay. Well, I was wondering if Gwen is running the day-to-day operations, doesn’t she get a say on new hires?

I mean, I’m sure she’s not happy that we’re living together and. She probably hates me. I’ll handle Gwen. Well, what if you can’t handle her? I just left a really toxic work environment and I can’t deal with anything like that Again. She won’t be a problem, I promise. All you have to focus on is all the lovely dinners and concerts that you’re gonna be enjoying at the spectators expense.

I mean, You’ll be able to make your own hours 99% of the time and work from home and be your own boss. Wow, that sounds too good to be true. Let me prove to you that it isn’t right. You go get changed. I’ll hang the rest of these up and then I’ll give you a tour around the office. What’d you say? Okay,

sureand. Thank you.

You kidding me? You don’t think I have it in me to kick your ass outta here. Tell you what. I’ll do that and then I’ll ring your neck as an Encore Brady. You can’t keep me away from my daughter. See, that’s where you’re wrong. See, I have full custody, don’t I? My little girl took a ride share all by herself to come visit me in Statesville.

What do you think she’s gonna do when she finds out I’m back in Salem? You can’t keep us apart, Brady. She’s gonna hate you just as much as she hates me. No, not if I make her understand that her mother is a mentally disturbed, destructive person who needs therapy and just refuses to get it. Damn you, Brady.

I don’t want you near her. You may be her biological mother, but you forfeited all of your parental rights when you became this evil conniving person. You know what? I’d be considered an abusive father if I let her around you for a minute right now, and I will see you back in court to revisit our custody arrangement.

And in the meantime, Brady go to hell.

Megan, believe me, you do not wanna go near my brother. I suppose there’s no reason for me to rush. Rachel’s letter made it clear that Beau is being quite unresponsive. I’ll just delay my trip to Greece until he’s close to waking up. There’s a lot here for me to accomplish. In the meantime, destroying more lives.

My family’s here, and not only will I want to get to know them better, but I’ll be claiming my rightful place a Amira.

I get it. You don’t trust me and I don’t blame you. Well, I’m glad you understand. Now we’re done. Here we are. But I thought I should. Give you a heads up. When I leave Greece, I’ll be flying home to Salem.

Damn it. Why is this happening again,

Brady, I’m so sorry. No, you don’t. Don’t be sorry. I’m sorry. Everything she’s putting you through we’re just fine. It’s you and your daughter that are suffering. If it’s any consolation, there was not a judge anywhere who would allow Kristen full custody of that girl. I hope not. Still still what? Marna, she’s right.

Kristen’s right. Our, our little girl’s gonna want to see her mom, and I’m gonna end up looking like the bad guy if I try to put any kind of reasonable distance between the two of them. You’re in a tough place and it’s, and it’s so hard to talk to Rachel right now. She’s so stubborn. I mean, she’s really hard to reason with.

I wish she is just a little girl. Yeah. She’s just a little girl. She’s just a little girl that wants a normal family, that she wants her parents to be together. She wants her parents to be in love and it’s not gonna happen. And it’s really, really sad. And I know. I know. I know. That’s part of the reason why I can’t reason with her right now.

But I think another big reason is that she is, Just her mother’s daughter. She’s just so, Kristen,

one of the reasons I worried about her, but I’m also worried about you. Me. Why are you worried about me? Because I know how much you love your daughter. And I know how much you wanna make her happy. No, no. I, I know you’re going with this. You think I’m gonna get sucked back into Kristen and I would get back together with her just to make Rachel happy.

No, can’t do it. I, I look. It’s as heartbreaking as it is for Rachel. I know that I need to keep her away from Kristen just as much as I need to keep myself away from Kristen, okay? Hell is gonna freeze over before I get back together with Kristen Damara on my life, on, on my daughter’s life. It’s not gonna happen.

I’m not gonna change my mind about that.

What the hell? Some newspaper reporter you wore. Zander. All right. How is it that I know about your living situation and you know nothing about mine? Kristen, whatever you’re doing these days and whoever you’re torturing, we don’t care. And if you want Brady, he’s all yours. Oh, he will be. And Chloe, I really hope that you and Sandra are very happy together.

And I mean that from the bottom of my heart.

I don’t have the demer yet at my disposal. Sorry. Oh. Uh, that’s not a problem. Yeah, I, I would, I’ll even fly coach if I could spend that time getting to know my uncle and, um, I would, I would really appreciate if, uh, if you could gimme any insights on how to be accepted into the, to the bosom of the family.

Uh, look. N um, none of us grew up in the, in the bosom of the family. It’s a really creepy, creepy word. Um, in fact, you know, we all sleep with one eye open when we’re around each other. Most of the time it’ll be both eyes with you weirdo around. So, like I said, you know, I don’t care if we’re related. I don’t want a relationship with you ever.

Well, okay. Well, whether you want to or not, we are still family, so there will be holidays and uh, weddings and funerals. So we’re gonna be spending quite a bit of time together.

Yeah.

And, um, there’s no escaping that Uncle Chad.

I don’t get it. Why would you go to Salem? I, I grew up there, you know, after joining the Navy, I just never really felt settled and Salem is the closest thing I’ve ever had to a real home. Okay. And I’m sure you’re thinking that I have an ulterior motive. I admit I do. I wanna keep my eye on Megan Hathaway.

I feel it’s my responsibility after everything I did when she was pulling the strings. Yeah, but it really isn’t though. I mean, you were a victim too. Yeah, but I owe it to your mom. Okay. So your mom can move bow to a secure facility and I’m gonna make sure that Megan does not hurt them. Yeah, well, I doubt you’re gonna be the most popular guy in town.

Says the guy who put his dad in a coma. No one blames you for that, my grandfather does. But look, you know what? There’s enough blame to pass around in this whole mess. Right now my top priority is to make sure that my dad gets moved to his new location safely. So again, Thank you. Thank you for the intel.

No problem. Uh, guess I’ll see you in Salem.

Your eggs are cold. I can warm them up. No, that’s okay. I’ve lost my appetite. I think I just wanna get over to Statesville to see Lucas.

This is from Shine. Michaels told him that, uh, Megan had been released, so Hope is making plans to keep Bo off her radar. Well, good luck to them. Good luck to all of us Now that Megan’s back in town who knows what she has in store for us.

Hi daddy.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 I miss you so much, mommy. I’m praying that you can come home soon. I love you, Rachel. I love you too, sweetheart. Another miss from your daughter? No, no. It’s the same one that you delivered. I am just gonna keep reading it over and over until I hold my daughter in my arms again. Oh, Kristen, I do understand being separated from one’s child is very difficult on a mother.

In fact, I do hope to be hearing from my child’s son. Right. Your son, my nephew, Dimitri. He is such a wonderful young man. Yeah. Well, you still haven’t explained how your wonderful young man is going to get us outta here when he is locked up in an ala Manian prison. No. Dimitri is not still in Amania. He’s currently in police custody, which is only temporary.

Mm. Is his magic peacock going to set him free? My darling, Dimitri has no need of magic. He’s brilliant, he’s charming, and he’s incredibly persuasive, much like his grandfather. In fact, he’s negotiating our release as we speak.

Well, what do you want? We need to have a chat, Dimitri. Huh? I have nothing to say to either one of you. I have agreed to remain in the custody of the Greek police follow await word that the ISA have conceded to my demands. So, Off you go. A man of your integrity may not be aware of this, but the police around here have been known to take a bribe.

Yeah. And I just gave the officer in charge a little incentive to take a walk so we can have some privacy. We missed your day bag. We hardly got enough time to spend with you back on your boat, and we have so much to catch up on.

So why don’t you kick things off

by telling us where Andrew Donovan is.

Hey. Good to see you, Ken. Me too.

What are you, uh, what are you doing here? Well, I know that you were worried about Andrew. I thought I’d just, uh, come on out. Yeah. Well, you wouldn’t have flown halfway across the country if you didn’t have something to tell me. Something you didn’t wanna say over the phone.

Angie’s in trouble. You got that right kid. Andrew’s been kidnapped.

What’s what’s.

How are you? Where am I? You don’t remember how you got here, do you?

I need your help. Turns out Kay Roberts is alive and we need to find her. Okay. Well, but why would you ask me for help? Hmm. For starters, you are a highly decorated Navy seal. Yeah. Who’s done irreparable damage to your family? So again, why would you want my help? How would you like a shot of redemption?

Yeah, yeah. I’ll take it. I’ll do whatever I can to make up for what I did to hope in your family. Yes.

Good evening.

This is Donovan Isa. Agent Andrew Donovan, who wants to know. The person who has Paul Nita tied to a chair with a knife to his throat, and in case that mental image isn’t clear enough, I’ll send you a picture as soon as we hang up, you have my attention. Good, good. Well, if you ever wanna see your handsome boyfriend again, you’ll tell no one about this call.

You’ll go immediately to the nearest airport and await my instructions.

Is there a problem? Oh, uh, just another case I have to deal with. Um, unfortunately I can’t wait. I wanted to smooth things over with Chad and my uncle Steve. Let them know you’re on that team. Yeah, I, I can handle and do what you gotta do. Thanks, commander. I’ll check in on the search, see how you guys are doing.

Good luck. Yeah, you too. But we both know luck has nothing to do with it.

Paul. Paul. Paul. Oh my God,

these pictures of Paul were fake. Yeah.

He tracked his phone just as we knew you would. You got your fast agent. Donovan must really like this Paul fellow a lot. Sorry to say you’ve been here for a while. Slide suggests you have a seat.

Yes, I remember exactly how I got here.

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

So Dimitri got someone to keep his prison bunk warm while he was out living his best life. I did that once myself, but unfortunately my doppelganger is no longer available. The idiots who run this place probably wouldn’t notice if I tucked a mop under my blanket and ducked outta here, but, To pull off a swap in a maximum security amania prison is nearly impossible.

And yet my Dimitri managed it with ease. Hmm. Did he, Megan? What’s that first mean? Well, I take great pride in knowing everything about the DIR family and, uh, I never once heard that you have a son, nor did you know I was alive. You doubted me. Oh, no, I was just wondering, um, if this is some sort of a ploy, really.

Mm-hmm. To what end? Dimitri Vo Leischner is my flesh and blood. That is a fact. I gave birth to him. I nurtured him, and I raised him to be the magnificent young man that he is.

If you gentlemen are trying to intimidate me, I say it’s working. If either of you so much has laid a finger on me, Andrew Donovan will pay a very steep price and I don’t think his daddy would be too happy about that. You really want to go up against the director of the isa, it’s not gonna end well for you, Dimitri.

So one more time. Where’s Andrew? Donovan? So one more time. You will have that information. Once my demands have been met and the clock is ticking, always Megan Hathaway’s gonna call me here on my phone within the hour and if I cannot tell her that I’ve gotten what I have asked for. No. You want immunity for yourself?

We get that? Yeah. Why do you also want immunity for Megan? Oh, I know she’s not your favorite person. She’s a sadistic freak who brainwashed both of us Be that as it may for some reason I have a soft spot for the woman. Say, what’s going on here? She messed with your head too? No. Oh no. No. She hasn’t brainwashed me.

Uh, I didn’t need to be brainwashed to wanna help Megan. What? Is she your girlfriend or something?

Oh, hardly no, no, no, no, no. You see Megan Hathaway, she’s my mother.

I know you’re not very comfortable, but don’t worry. As soon as our boss gets what he wants, we’ll let you go. Who’s your boss? I’ll be back with your dinner soon. You sit here like a good little boy.

That’s not,

are you sure this photo isn’t, isn’t a fake. His best lab tech authenticated it. I mean, I was worried when, I hadn’t heard from from Andrew in a while when no one had heard from him. I mean, obviously I was concerned, but, but now I, I never thought that, of course not. Why would you? And you reached out to his father?

Yeah, I talked to Shane. He’s, um, Let’s do an million can to get his son back and he’s doing everything right. So where do we start, John? Is it true that you and Paul.

Oh no. Oh, so glad to see you. You too marlen. Gosh. Oh my gosh. Is it true? Is it true that Kate’s, all right, well, why don’t you see for yourself?

Well, not too bad for someone who’s been doing nothing but dodging death, right?

Oh,

Okay. I’m glad you’re alive. Oh my God. I, I’m just glad we’re all Okay. Well, I wish I could say that about AIDS though. Yeah, we just came to the hospital. Uh, he’s stable, but not out of the woods yet. Yes, I, I spoke to Kayla. Have you been able to see him yet? Pauline is the only one allowed in for now. Yeah, I just can’t believe it.

I mean, what happened? A mad man attacked him in the, in the bakery On the square or what? Yeah, he’s been arrested and he’ll pay. But right now my only concern is that eight pulls through. Well, your friend is a fighter and when he sees you, he’s going to be so thrilled. Same as I am. When Kayla and I heard that gunshot.

Yeah. Well thank God my brothers didn’t go through with it. Yeah. When Bo told me to run, I mean I grabbed that little boat and I couldn’t wait to get off that God forsaken island. Then I was taken against my will and on another boat. Yeah. Chad Steven Harris. Michael’s rescuer from Dimitri. Mm-hmm. Can you believe that creep had me cutting the heads off Fish.

Talk about Deja Lou. Well, you’re not the only one. He took hostage. What do you mean? He has Andrew Donovan. What? That’s terrible. Yeah. Well, I think I’ll be okay because John, he’s on the case. Okay, come on there. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Slow it down, kid. Like I said, the ISA is all over. In fact, the person who took Andrew has already made contact with Shane.

Who is it? Dimitri Van Luner. What? I, I, I thought that guy was in prison for trying to decimate the plaintiff. Yeah, he was, but he escaped, but that was short lived. Now he’s in police custody in Greece, so they caught him. Steve Chad Harris tracked him down to a bill in the agency and they brought him in.

Now, in exchange for safe release of Andrew, he is demanding blanket immunity, not only for himself, but for one of the, Person who? His mother, Megan Hathaway.

So the way I heard it, you have been obsessed with Boe Brady since high school. I don’t like that word. Okay, fine, fine, fine. You only had eyes for you and that hasn’t changed. My heart will always belong to bald. Oh, you offered your other body of parts to someone else and had a kid. Don’t be crude. After my death, I was put into a cryogenic sleep.

Several years later, my father had me thawed out. Ah, I saw the mayor of him. I immediately wanted to return to Salem and fight for Beau, but Stefano felt that that would be unwise. So you took up needle point. Instead, my father wanted me to lie low for a while and spend some time in Europe, which I did, and that’s why I at Dmitri’s father, obviously you two it it off.

I wanted a child and I got one. Naturally, I turned my focus to raising little Dmitri, but after a few years, his father decided that my influence of little Dmitri was perhaps a bit too psychotic. Absolute.

Of course I was at a nonsense, but nevertheless, my boy was sent away to a boarding school. Fortunately, that didn’t prevent us from staying close. You know what they say? A boy’s best friend is his mother. Hello. My mother and I haven’t always been in physical proximity. We remain deeply bonded to this day.

Are you buying this that Megan’s his mother? No, actually I am. I mean, look at him. He’s a demer. Through and through. Ruthless, soulless. Oh. UPS can insult my lineage all you want, but it’s Director Donovan Spawn whose head is on the chopping block. So are you two gonna do whatever it is you need to do to set me and my mother free or are you gonna let poor little Anne for.

Yes. I’ll have to fetch another pale of water to wake you back up.

Looking for this.

I was never in love with Dimitri’s father. It was a beautiful arrangement. He was a means to an end, whereas Bo is everything to me now. Bow is in a coma, so maybe you should just move it on. Never. I have waited this long. I will wait forever if I have to. What’s your plan when you get out? Are you just gonna sit visual by Bo’s bedside, change his bed pan?

No, I will allow hope, the privilege of that. I’ll monitor his condition closely so that I can be there when he wake up, so you’re not going straight back to Greece. As I’ve said, as soon as it looks as if BOE will wake up, I will be there in flash in the meantime. I have my own destiny to fulfill, and the next phase involves a long overdue return to Salem.

That is the one thing that we have in common. Similar destinies to fulfill show. Let me remind you of your promise. You said that, uh, when you got released that. You are going to take me with you. That’s still happening, right?

Yeah. I don’t know how you did it, Shane. You got multiple countries to drop all the charges and grant immunity to Megan Hathaway and her degenerate son. You must have called in every favor you were owed. Oh man. I would’ve done the same for Trip or Joe. All right. I’ll get these guys to release Dimitri and then, uh, Make sure someone with a proper authority calls Statesville and gets Megan released, and then you, my friend, will have your son back.

Shane must be Lord sick. I hope Andrew was okay. He will be the IA like that. Don’t make sure of it. Well, I have to say being a guest of Dmitri is not a picnic. Yes, I remember. That’s right. You were held by gunpoint, by him, weren’t you? I mean, that was at what, the Hian Museum, right? Yes. It was that whole peacock business.

John dragged him to safety and, and then he and Sebastian took the pastor down. Okay. You just hang in there, brother. This will be over soon. Yeah.

Steve Johnson. Yeah. Who are you? Well, Sebastian a name’s familiar, something I can help you with. I’ve just been informed that Dimitri Von Ner is going to be released any minute now. I’m terribly sorry to burst your bubble here, chap. But, uh, Mr. Donner is coming with me. What are you talking about? I’m here to take that scandal back to Amania where he will rot in prison for the rest of his miserable life.

You don’t really think you’re getting outta here, do you? I’m certain of it, and I look forward to all the future holds for me.

Can you say the same? Excuse me. Well, we’ve already discussed how your, your gallon rescue of Kate Roberts was, but a desperate attempt at redemption. And I think we both know that well, you’re not one of the good guys, right? I mean, not anymore. How about you shut your mouth? All I’m saying is that a hero, like you deserves the utmost respect.

And I see the way that Steve Johnson, the people of his camp, betrays you. And it is not with respect. They don’t respect you. They don’t, they don’t trust you. And they certainly don’t accept you, and that must be so hard to face that, that you will never be good enough for the John Blacks or the hope Bradys of this world that I’m not like them.

I’m different commander. I, I have a, a deep appreciation for your vast array of skills, as does my mother. And as soon as we’re free from here, we’re gonna need a man just like you. So when you say, what do you say to you, you tell Steve and Company that they can shove their judgment and you come work for us.

Are you seriously trying to lu me to the dark side? Ah, between light and dark. There are many, many shades of gray. A shot of land, if you will, and that is where we’ll do our work. Maybe you will, but not me.

I heard many reports that Boe Brady was headed there at lightning speed before he got shot. Apparently, he was very determined to shed his old, I thought, told you to shut up. BOE Brady spent a lifetime, a lifetime playing the part of a very certain type of man, a good guy as it were. But apparently along with this awakening came the realization that if he ever wanted to become truly realized to, uh, to thrive as he was always meant to and become his, his truest self, he would have to discard of his old identity, the one that no longer served him or fulfilled him in any way, and an adventure into the shadows.

And he did Bo. Bo did that without fear, Bo embraced it. Now, if he can do it, tell me why can’t you?

So you want me to come work for you and mommy dearest?

You’ll have to brainwash me again.

Well, I will certainly take it under advice.

As soon as I heard the Greek police had that re in custody, I came to personally seat to his extradition. As you might imagine, his escape from Hall Romania’s most secure facility was quite an embarrassment. Yeah, but listen, this is an order from the highest court in Greece. It affirms our country’s right to have Vaughn Luner remanded to our custody.

Believe me, I understand why you want Dimitri to pay for what he did. He and his Nutjob mother tried to use me and my best friend to take over the world. The man is a no good son of a bitch. Not that I concur, but here’s the deal. If you take Dimitri back to Amania and lock him up, a good man will lose his life.

The Andrews life is on the line, and we’re supposed to just sit around here and wait. Yep. And I thought it might be a little easier to do just that with a little company. You know, I appreciate you being here, dad. It’s just seeing that picture. My head is going inside darkness. I, I hear you. But you gotta remember, Andrew is well trained specifically for something just like this.

Exactly. So how does something like this happen?

Did, did Shane give you any other details? Apparently Andrew was in Greece, helping Chad and Steve find Kate Roberts Will’s grandmother. I thought she was dead. Yeah. Well, you and everybody else turns out we were wrong. Initially, we thought she was lost in sea. Andrew wanted to recruit Harris to help with the search.

He’s in the middle of that conversation with Harris and he gets his phone call. He tells Michaels another mission. This one’s urgent. I gotta go. So he takes off, he leaves Greece, falls right off the crit. So whoever made that call alert Andrew to a trap. Andrew’s a smart guy. They couldn’t pull him easily, so whatever they used to pull him off that search had to be damn significant.

What if they used me? Why would you say that? My phone, it was stolen outta my locker last week at the gym. Now I replaced it, but what if during that time Andrew tried to reach out to me? Why didn’t they call the phone? It was stolen. Yeah, and then they answered and they told Andrew that I needed help or, or that I was in some sort of trouble, or they called Andrew and that was urgent call that he received when he was talking to Michaels.

I mean, either way. Damnit dad if he got hurt or worse because he was trying to help me. It’s okay. It’s okay. It’s okay. We’re gonna find him. We’re gonna find him. We’re gonna get him back. Kid

time tight this time. Double check it.

I assume whatever deal Demetri is making right now that. That I’m included, you’re my sister, you know, I wanna help you. Mm-hmm. You will help me. Yeah. You said last night that I would have my freedom once things got sorted out and organized. And it sounds, uh, like everything is in order now. Yes. But you have to understand this is an incredibly delicate.

Negotiation. Dimitri is trying to negotiate the release of two extremely high profile prisoners. Adding a third into the mix now could upend everything. So if the ISA is considering giving you two blanket immunity after everything you’ve done, oh well, you must have something huge to offer them. That’s true, but you can only push so far before they’re gonna walk away.

Yeah. See, that is not my problem.

I get my mouse shut about Bob being alive and in exchange you promised. You promised that once you got out that you two take me with you and I haven’t forgotten that. Well, maybe you did forget. The only reason that I am in this hell hold is that I was held responsible for the deaths of Marlena. Kayla and Kate, despite my sincere effort to return that orchid that could cure them, and if you hadn’t ordered bow to take that stupid flower from the mansion, I would be off the hook.

So actually, Megan, this is all your damn fault that I am here in the first place.

Oh God, Wilson.

I consider myself an authority on the Demer family. So if you are planning to make a claim on your birthright, once you are outta here, you are gonna want me on your side. After all, I know how our brothers operate a lot better than you do.

Look, Kristen, I do want to help you and I will, but to stick my nose into these negotiations. At this point you are asking me to take. An extreme risk. No, Megan, I’m asking you to make a choice now. Either you include me in my nephews deal and you’ll secure yourself a valuable ally. Or if you leave me in here, you’ll gain a sworn enemy.

And don’t think for a second that my reach doesn’t extend beyond these prison bars. Kristin, listen to me. No more talking. It is decision time. But be advised, if you turn your back on me, you’ll to regret it,

so,

okay. Well, we’re gonna head back home to the pub if you’d like to have breakfast with us. Oh, thanks. I think you two need some time to catch up. Well, let’s do it soon though. Okay. Perhaps, uh, when Andrew’s back home and safe, definitely. Okay. Okay. I just can’t quite believe. We survived everything that Megan put us through.

Oh, I couldn’t believe it because you, me and Kayla, we are badasses baby. Here’s Roar.

Quite fond of Billy Reid, aren’t you? Agent Reid and I, we, uh, we went all separate ways. Oh, sorry to hear that. But she was instrumental in securing that peacock and returning it to your family, as was her boss, Shane Donovan. And for that, we are very grateful. Well, now it’s time to show that gratitude Shane is trying to get back something more precious than a statue.

At this very moment, we’re negotiating for the safe return of his son. Lord Jma. Andrew Donovan’s life is in your hands. Will you do the right thing and help us save him?

So did you get his Lord shipped to back down? I couldn’t help but hear his insufferable drone through the walls when you’re set free. I wouldn’t go anywhere near Amania if I were you. And definitely steer clear of Salem.

Oh look, it’s mommy call. Give that talk about pathetic. Give me my damn phone.

Hello mother. Yes, I have excellent news. You now will be free soon. Oh, that’s wonderful. I’m so proud of you, son. I knew you’d come through. I can’t wait to see you and celebrate. Mm, me too sweetheart. Dimitri darling, you have done such a magnificent job with these negotiations, and I don’t wanna ruffle any feathers, but I just have one little thing to add to our deal.

Last time you were here, you urged me not to give up on Andrew. Not to let logistics get in the way of being with someone who could make me really happy. Yeah, I remember that Well, shortly after you left, Andrew showed up and I took your advice and I committed to trying to make it work. We both did, and so things between us have gotten really, really serious.

Yeah. Andrew was in Salem not too long ago, and he told me that the two of you have reconnected.

I love him, dad. I really do. And now, and now the ISA is pouring everything they have into getting him released. Right. And I, uh, I just have that faith that they’re gonna succeed, that they’re gonna bring him back to us. To me,

if I father did his best to secure your release. And did he succeed?

What the hell? Megan demanded that Christer immunity too. The idea of those twisted sisters getting released at the same time when the deal was done, they were gonna let Andrew go, but now, now the whole damn thing could fall apart. You think they can say that? I don’t know, man. I just don’t know.

Hmm. So you haven’t heard anything about what’s going on in Greece? No, I haven’t. I haven’t heard a word from John either. I just hope that Andrew’s all right and that those criminals aren’t gonna come back and make our life miserable anymore.

Kayla, I’ll, I’ll call you back. I’ve got somebody at the door. Yeah. Okay.

Hey, thank God.

Okay. I know you liked the eggs, but I could have whipped up something a little more exciting for you. Are you kidding me? After a steady diet of lukewarm gr, this is heavenly. If I told you how happy I am at your home repeatedly, but it never gets old. Okay? Listen, this is your first full day back in sale, okay?

So whatever you want to do, we’re doing it. I can make you an appointment for a massage. We can take a walk in the park. Peacock and chill. The choice is yours. It all sounds really good. But honestly after I, after I finish this, I’d really like it if you could drive him out to stay still Katie. I know, I know, but I, I wanna see Lucas.

I do. And he needs to see that his mom is alive and well. I wanna see how he’s doing. Well yeah. You are right about, uh, will be in relief and uh, yes, he will be true. Well, I don’t know how thrilled he can be in under those circumstances, but I also wanna pay her visit to that bitch Megan Hathaway. Give her a piece of my mind.

Looks like I saved you the trouble.

Days of Our Lives Update

Days of Our Lives logo

Update written by Joseph

Kristen sits in the prison visiting room, reading her last letter from Rachel. Megan joins her and asks about it. Kristen says she’s just going to read it over and over until she is holding her daughter again. Megan says she understands being separated from one’s child is very difficult for a mother. Megan adds that she hopes to be hearing from her son Dimitri very soon. Kristen questions how Dimitri is going to get them out of here when he’s in an Alamainian prison. Megan reveals that he’s not still there and he’s currently in police custody, which is only temporary. Kristen asks if his magic peacock is going to set him free. Megan responds that Dimitri doesn’t need magic because he’s brilliant, charming, and incredibly persuasive. Megan informs Kristen that Dimitri is negotiating their release as they speak.

At the police station in Greece, Steve and Harris confront Dimitri. Dimitri says he has nothing to say to them as he’s agreed to stay in police custody while awaiting word on if the ISA has conceded to his demands. Steve informs Dimitri that the police around here have been known to take a bribe. Harris reveals he gave them incentive to take a walk so they can have some privacy. Steve tells Dimitri that they have so much to catch up on. Harris suggests Dimitri start by telling them where Andrew Donovan is.

John arrives at Paul’s apartment in San Francisco, California. Paul says it’s good to see him but asks what he’s doing here. John knows Paul was worried about Andrew, so he thought he’d just come on out. Paul knows John wouldn’t have flown halfway across the country if he didn’t have something to tell him and guesses it’s something he didn’t want to say over the phone. John confirms that Andrew has been kidnapped.

Andrew is tied up in a chair as a guard throws a bucket of water on him to wake him up. The guard asks if Andrew doesn’t know how he got here. Andrew thinks back to asking Harris for help finding Kate where he then received a phone call from someone saying that they had kidnapped Paul and were holding a knife on him as they instructed Andrew to go to the airport for further instruction. Andrew remembers tracking Paul’s phone and arriving to find out it was fake and a man there pulled a gun on Andrew and tied him up.

Megan tells Kristen that Dimitri got someone to take his place in prison while he was out living his best life. Kristen recalls doing that herself once, but unfortunately her doppelganger is no longer available. Megan jokes that the idiots in this place probably wouldn’t notice if she replaced herself with a mop but to do it in an Alamainian prison is nearly impossible, yet Dimitri managed to do it with ease. Kristen brings up how she knows everything about the DiMera family and never hearing that Megan had a son. Megan points out that she also didn’t know she was alive and questions if Kristen is doubting her. Kristen wonders if this is a ploy. Megan calls it a fact that Dimitri is her flesh and blood as she gave birth to him and raised him to be the magnificent young man that he is.

Dimitri questions Harris and Steve trying to intimidate him and warns that if they lay a finger on him, Andrew will pay a steep price. Steve asks if he really wants to go against the director of the ISA. Harris warns that won’t go well with him. Steve asks again where Andrew is. Dimitri responds that they will have that information when his demands are met. Steve and Harris get that he wants immunity but question why he also wants immunity for Megan. Dimitri knows she’s not their favorite person. Steve calls Megan a sadistic freak who brainwashed both of them. Dimitri states that for some reason, he has a soft spot for her. Steve asks if Megan brainwashed him too. Dimitri assures that she hasn’t. Harris asks if Megan is his girlfriend or something which he laughs at. Dimitri then reveals to them that Megan Hathaway is his mother.

The man holding Andrew tells him that as soon as their boss gets what he wants, Andrew will be let go. Andrew asks who his boss is. The man says he’s going to get dinner and tells Andrew to sit there like a good little boy as he exits. Andrew remarks that is not going to happen.

Paul tells John that he was worried when he hadn’t heard from Andrew and no one had but he never thought this. John understands and mentions talking to Shane, who he says is doing everything he can to get his son back. Paul asks where to start.

Marlena starts to send a text to John when Roman shows up at her door. Marlena is thrilled to see he has returned as they hug. Marlena asks if this means it’s true. Roman tells her to see for herself as Kate joins him. Kate jokes that she’s not bad for someone who has been doing nothing but dodging death as she and Marlena embrace. Marlena says she’s so glad that Kate is alive. Kate is glad they are all okay but wishes they could say the same about Abe. Roman mentions that they just came from the hospital and that Abe is stable, but he’s not out of the woods yet. Marlena notes that she spoke to Kayla and asks if they saw Abe yet. Roman responds that only Paulina has been allowed in. Kate questions Abe being attacked by a mad man at the bakery. Roman assures that he’s been arrested but right now, his only concern is that Abe pulls through. Kate encourages that Abe is a fighter. Marlena points out that when Abe sees Kate, he will be so thrilled like she is. Marlena recalls her and Kayla hearing that gun shot. Roman is thankful that Bo didn’t go through with it. Kate talks about how she couldn’t wait to get off that island and then she ended up on another boat. Roman informs Marlena that Chad, Steve, and Harris rescued Kate from Dimitri. Kate complains that he had her cutting off the heads of fish. Marlena then reveals that Kate wasn’t the only one Dimitri held hostage as he has Andrew Donovan. Roman is shocked and Kate calls that terrible. Marlena thinks he’ll be okay because John is on the case.

Paul wants to go with John but John stops him and says the ISA is all over it and the person who took Andrew has already contacted Shane. Paul asks who it is. John informs him that it’s Dimitri. Paul thought he was in prison. John explains that he escaped but that was short lived and now he’s in custody in Greece where Chad, Steve, and Harris tracked him down. John adds that in exchange for the safe release of Andrew, he is demanding immunity for himself and his mother, Megan Hathaway.

Kristen tells Megan that she heard that Megan has been obsessed with Bo since high school. Megan doesn’t like that word but says that hasn’t changed as her heart will always belong to Bo. Kristen questions her having a kid with someone else then. Megan explains that after her “death”, she was put in a cryogenic sleep until Stefano had her thawed out. Megan says she immediately wanted to return to Salem to fight for Bo, but Stefano felt that would be unwise and he wanted her to lie low for awhile in Europe which she did and that’s where she met Dimitri’s father. Kristen remarks that they obviously hit it off. Megan states that she wanted a child and she got one, so she turned her focus to raising Dimitri but after a few years, his father decided that her influence on Dimitri was a bit too absolute. Megan adds that Dimitri was sent away to boarding school but that didn’t prevent them from being close. Megan remarks that a boy’s best friend is his mother.

Dimitri tells Harris and Steve that even though he and Megan weren’t always in close proximity, they were always deeply bonded. Harris asks if Steve is buying this. Steve believes Megan is Dimitri’s mother and says Dimitri is a DiMera through and through, ruthless and soulless. Dimitri says they can insult his lineage all they want but it’s Andrew who is on the chopping block. Dimitri asks if they are going to set him and Megan free or if they’re going to let Andrew die.

The guard returns to Andrew, who is pretending to be asleep. The guard guesses he’ll have to get another bucket of water to wake him up but Andrew pops up and knocks him out. Andrew tries to escape but the other guard appears with his gun raised.

Megan tells Kristen that she was never in love with Dimitri’s father and calls him a means to an end while Bo is everything to her. Kristen reminds her that Bo is in a coma so maybe she should just move on. Megan refuses and says she’s waited this long, so she will wait forever. Kristen questions what Megan’s plan is when she gets out and if she will just sit at Bo’s bedside. Megan says she will allow Hope to do that but she will monitor Bo’s condition closely so that she can be there when he wakes up. Kristen questions her not going straight back to Greece. Megan repeats that as soon as it looks like Bo will wake up, she will be there in a flash but in the meantime, she has her own destiny to fulfill and the next phase includes a long overdue return to Salem. Kristen calls that the one thing they have in common, similar destinies to fulfill. Kristen reminds Megan that she promised when she got released, she would take her with her. Kristen asks if that’s still happening.

Steve talks to Shane on the phone and talks about how Shane got the authorities in multiple different countries to drop the charges against Dimitri and Megan. Steve admits he would’ve done the same for his kids. Steve tells Shane that he will get these guys to release Dimitri and then he will make sure someone gets Megan released, so that Shane will then have his son back.

Kate says that Shane must be worried sick. Marlena hopes that Andrew is okay. Roman assures that the ISA and Black Patch will make sure that he is. Kate talks about being held by Dimitri being no picnic. Marlena relates to when Dimitri held her as well until John and Sebastian took him down.

Steve finishes his call with Shane and then Sebastian Alamain enters the police station in Greece. Sebastian introduces himself and Steve notes that his name sounds familiar. Sebastian questions Dimitri being released which Steve confirms is happening any minute now. Sebastian states that he’s sorry to burst his bubble but Dimitri will be coming with him. Steve questions what he’s talking about. Sebastian responds that he’s here to take Dimitri back to Alamainia where he will rot in prison for the rest of his miserable life.

Harris questions Dimitri really thinking that he’s getting out. Dimitri says he’s certain of it and he looks forward to all that the future holds for him. Dimitri asks if Harris can say the same, bringing up how he’s gallant rescue of Kate was a desperate attempt at redemption and says they both know Harris is not one of the good guys. Harris tells him to shut his mouth. Dimitri remarks that a hero like Harris deserves the utmost respect but argues that Steve and the others don’t respect, trust, or accept him. Dimitri says it must be hard to accept that he’ll never be good enough for John or Hope, but he’s not like them. Dimitri insists that he has a deep appreciation for his skills and Megan does too. Dimitri suggests Harris tells Steve and company to shove their judgment and come work for them. Harris questions if he’s seriously trying to lure him to the dark side. Dimitri says they’ll be in the shades of grey in between but Harris refuses. Dimitri brings up Bo heading there and being determined to shed his old life before he was shot. Dimitri talks about how Bo spent a lifetime being a good guy, but he realized that to become his true self, he would have to discard his true identity and venture in to the shadows. Dimitri declares that Bo did it without fear and embraced it, so he asks why can’t Harris. Harris questions Dimitri wanting him to come work for him and Megan. Harris remarks that he’d have to brainwash him again which Dimitri says he will certainly take under advisement.

Sebastian tells Steve that he came as soon as he heard of Dimitri’s release because his escape from the Alamainian prison was quite an embarrassment. Sebastian hands Steve an order from the highest court in Greece, giving them the right to have Dimitri released back to their custody. Steve understands why he wants to see Dimitri pay, noting what he and Megan did to him and John. Steve calls Dimitri a no good son of a bitch, but informs him that if he takes Dimitri back and locks him up, then a good man will lose his life.

Paul complains about having to sit and wait while Andrew’s life is on the line. John thought it might be easier if he had company. Paul appreciates him being there but says he can’t stop thinking about the picture of Andrew tied up. John encourages that Andrew is trained specifically for times like this. Paul questions how something like this happens. Paul asks if Shane gave any other details. John explains that Andrew was in Greece, helping Chad, Steve, and Harris find Kate. Paul mentions thinking Kate was dead. John says they all did but she wasn’t and then they thought she was lost at sea. John continues telling Paul about how Andrew was recruiting Harris, then got a phone call, left Greece and fell off the grid. Paul guesses whoever made the call lured Andrew into a trap. John knows they couldn’t have fooled Andrew easily, so whatever they used to pull him off the search had to be damn significant. Paul wonders if they used him since his phone was stolen out of his gym locker and guesses they could’ve used it to tell Andrew to tell him that he was in trouble. Paul worries about Andrew getting hurt or worse while trying to help him. John encourages that they will find him and get him back as he hugs Paul.

The guards tie Andrew back up and make sure it’s tighter this time.

Kristen assumes that she’s included in whatever deal Dimitri is making right now. Megan states that Kristen is her sister, so she wants to help her. Kristen reminds Megan that she told her last night that she would have her freedom when everything was sorted out and organized and it sounds like everything is organized now. Megan explains that she has to understand that Dimitri is trying to negotiate the release of two high profile prisoners so adding a third could upend everything. Kristen says if the ISA is willing to give her immunity after everything she’s done, then she must have something huge to offer them. Megan says that’s true but you can only push so far before they are going to walk away. Kristen argues that’s not her problem. Kristen reminds Megan that she kept her mouth shut about Bo being alive and in exchange, she promised that when she got out, she would take her with her. Megan assures she hasn’t forgotten that. Kristen adds that she’s only in here because she was held responsible for the deaths of Marlena, Kayla, and Kate despite her sincere efforts to retrieve the orchid to cure them and if Megan hadn’t ordered Bo to take the orchid from the mansion, she would be off the hook. Kristen declares that this is actually all Megan’s fault that she’s here in the damn first place. Kristen states that she considers herself an authority on the DiMera family, so if Megan plans to claim her birth right when she gets out, she will want her on her side because she knows how their brothers operate a lot better than she does. Megan says she does want to help Kristen and she will, but she’s asking her to take an extreme risk. Kristen warns Megan that she’s asking her to make a choice to either include her in her nephew’s deal, securing herself a valuable ally, or if she leaves her in here then she will gain a sworn enemy. Kristen assures that her reach goes beyond these prison bars. Kristen declares no more talking as it’s decision time. Kristen advises that if Megan turns her back on her, she will live to regret it. Kristen then asks her what’s it going to be.

Roman says he and Kate are going home to the Pub and invites Marlena to have breakfast with them. Marlena thanks them but thinks they need time alone. Kate says they will do it soon and suggests it being when Andrew is home safe. Marlena says she still can’t quite believe that they survived everything Megan put them through. Kate declares that it’s because they are badasses. Kate and Roman then exit.

Steve brings up Billie to Sebastian. Sebastian informs him that he and Billie went their separate ways. Steve points out how Billie and Shane Donovan were instrumental in bringing the Alamainian Peacock to Sebastian’s family. Sebastian says they are very grateful. Steve says now is the time to show that gratitude because Shane and his family are trying to get back something more precious than a statue. Steve explains that they are currently negotiating the safe return of Shane’s son. Steve informs Sebastian that Andrew Donovan’s life is in his hands, so he asks Sebastian to do the right thing and help them save Andrew.

Steve rejoins Harris with Dimitri. Dimitri asks if Steve got Sebastian to back down, noting that he couldn’t help but hear him through the walls. Steve warns Dimitri to stay away from Alamainia and away from Salem when he is free. Steve holds Dimitri’s phone as it rings with a call from Megan. Dimitri demands his phone so Steve hands it over and he answers. Dimitri tells Megan that they are going to be free soon. Megan calls that wonderful and says she’s so proud of him as she knew he would come through. Dimitri can’t wait to see her and celebrate. Megan says he did a magnificent job with these negotiations and she doesn’t want to ruffle any feathers, but she has one little thing to add to their deal.

Paul recalls the last time John was here, how he urged him not to give up on Andrew and not let logistics get in the way of being together. Paul says shortly after John left, Andrew showed up and they committed to trying to make it work, so things between them have gotten really serious. John mentions that Andrew was in Salem not long ago and told him that they had reconnected. Paul informs John that he really loves Andrew. John assures that the ISA has poured everything they have in to getting Andrew released. Paul decides he just has to have faith that they will succeed and bring Andrew back to him. John hugs Paul as he worries.

The guard informs Andrew that his father did his best to secure his release. Andrew asks if he succeeded. The guard then pulls out a knife.

Harris and Steve discuss Megan demanding Kristen get immunity too. They worry that with the deal done, Andrew was getting released, but now the whole thing could fall apart. Harris asks Steve if he thinks they can save it. Steve admits he just doesn’t know.

Marlena talks on the phone with Kayla and they talk about not hearing anything from Greece. Marlena hopes that Andrew is alright and that those criminals won’t come back to make their lives miserable anymore. Marlena then hangs up as Kristen shows up at her door.

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 tells her how happy he is that she’s home. 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.

Don’t worry. Help us coming. Okay. You stay strong. You stay strong. Can you hear me? Yeah. It’s gonna be okay. Yeah.

Hey, listen, could, could I ask you something before you, uh, head back up to the party? Um, was Wendy in the office today? Well, now that you mention it, No, wait, what’s the problem? Uh, the problem is if she wasn’t there, then that means she is still in Seattle with Trip.

What happened to you? Well, What didn’t happen? I was supposed to be back here yesterday. Yeah. I was on a flight right on schedule until the drunk bro in front of me started to pick a fight with the flight attendant. So then guests who ended up covered in beer when I got physical, not you by any chance.

And then we got diverted to South Dakota so they could haul him off the plane and arrest him. But by the time they did that, the crew had locked too many hours, so we were stuck there for the night. I understand Pierre can be. Beautiful. This. Okay? Do not, no, do not make any jokes because today almost as bad, oh, we made an unscheduled stop in Boise.

You should have called what? So you could send the Demer jet. You don’t work there anymore? Such a foul mood.

Oh, I’m afraid I’m not the person to cheer you up. Not tonight.

What’s wrong? My mood matches yours. Sign the divorce papers today,

Liam. So sorry. Yeah, I knew it was. I keep telling myself it will provide closure. God, I hate that word. Yeah, me too.

So, um, you gonna let Johnny know you’re back?

I’m not sure. You mean he didn’t convince you? He only proposed to Chanel because of psychedelic bakes? I didn’t know he did. I’m convinced. Then. What’s hesitation you think he’s. Still interested in someone else? No, but maybe I am.

Take them right to the trauma center and I’ll be right there. Okay? Okay, good. Thanks. Uh, that was e m t who just brought in two patients, Colin and Talia. I don’t know whether they’re in pretty bad shape, so I’m gonna go there now. Ray. Ray, where, where is, where’s Abraham? I, I have to, I have to see him. Yeah.

Are you raised? Mama? Just freeze. There you go. Now it was brought in for a head trauma. Oh, when? When? How long was he lying on that floor? That, oh, that man. He beat his head in and he wouldn’t even, lemme call.

Everyone here loves ape. No one is gonna let anything happen to him. Okay. Not her. Not her. Please rape. Get her outta here. Oh,

I need to see my brother. He’s Colin Bedford. Yeah, I know. He’s in the trauma center. Go and stay the hell away from Paulina Price. I’m pretty sorry. Just go. God. He didn’t even talk to her like that. The hell. I don’t look at them. Look at them. Her and her brother are responsible for that. You understand? Son had nothing to, it’s not that it matters.

Yeah, you’re right. It doesn’t,

Paul, I’m sorry. You are sorry. After what that bitching her brother did to my Abraham. You think you could just say you are sorry? No, no. When you tell, you, tell your girlfriend that I’m glad her brother went off that roof. Wait, I don’t understand what happened to Abraham. Colin bashed his head in with a rolling pin at Sweep It.

Oh my God. He’s, where is he? He’s in surgery and we, we don’t know if he’s gonna make it. We don’t know if Talia’s gonna make it. We don’t know anything. Talia, they brought her here. Jada came with her. Wait, wait. She’s alive. I hope so. I hope the brother is dead.

I’m his sister. How is he alive when she’s a miracle? How bad is it? Well, no obvious breaks thanks to that awning, but I’ve ordered him x-rays and some painkillers. You can talk to him if you like.

You tell me, I didn’t what I had to. You had to take Paul and Chanel captive. You were supposed to go away. You, you promised me that you would leave them alone. I lied. I was so close. I was gonna make them pay and I would’ve, it wasn’t fat. Talia, the paramedic said that the awning saved your life. When I saw you go over that roof, I thought,

hi. Kayla. Hi, how are you? Hi. I’m so glad that you’ll be treating my sister. Oh, of course. Uh, taa, this is Kayla. She was a very great friend of dad, a very good friend of your father’s, and I’ve heard a lot about you. I’ve, I’ve heard a lot about you too. Well, All good. I hope. Well, um, I’m gonna examine you.

Okay. Can you tell me how you’re feeling? Scared, angry? We’ll sleep at myself. Well, you’ve been through a lot. Why don’t you try to follow my finger? Okay. Don’t move your head, just your eyes.

Okay. All right. This might hurt a little bit. Okay. But I’m just gonna get in here.

Okay. Well, it looks like the paramedics did a good job managing most of your contusions, so we’ll just see if you have a break. All right. It might hurt, but uh, just gimme a second. All right.

Ah, Walter, well, we might have a break. But we’ll know more of an x-ray. All right. Are you allergic? Any medications? No. Okay. I’ll go get you something for pain, okay? I would say you’re a very lucky girl. Thank you. I’ll give

Chah. I’m right here. How Chanel. God. The Lord is my shepherd. I shall not want. We’re gonna be in the.

Are you ready?

That was weird. I didn’t think anyone could calm her down, let alone him.

Well, there’s a strong woman you take after her. Yeah, I don’t know about that.

I guess. Yeah, think can talk about it. Yeah. Wanna have a seat?

It’s alright. Just take your time. Um, so tonight, um, I’m, I’m, I’m not sure what time it was, but, uh, Talia, she told me that it was Sloan’s brother who ran the whole shell and that she was his girlfriend and that. She’d been working this whole time with him to get to me and mama. So I, I tried to warn mama, so I, I tried to find her and then when I called her, he answered Colin Bedford.

Yeah, him. And he told me to knee him up on the ends roof. And when I got there, He had a gun and he, he said that he was gonna make mama jump. Uh, you know, he, he wanted her to die like, like his mother died and she wouldn’t. And so then he, he turned the gun on me.

And then that was when Talia and Jada, they showed up and then things got even crazier and brave. I swear, I thought he was just gonna start shooting everyone. But then, Well them up. Yeah. That’s when, um, Talia, she, she jumped in and she was trying to grab the gun and then he started fighting her off. And then, then they, they, they both went over the edge.

Okay. Yeah. So what you’re saying is, Talia save your life. Like hell, she did.

You think Talia saved my life? I wouldn’t have been on that damn roof in the first place. If it wasn’t for Talia. Mama never would’ve been in danger, and Colin couldn’t have done any of this if it wasn’t for Talia warming her way into our lives setting us up. Okay. Okay. I know that she’s been lying to us.

What was she really in that deep? Did she know what he was planning to do? She admitted everything. She loves that disgusting creep and she would do anything he told her to do and that is why she spiked those biscuits. She stole the keys to Mama’s office and she was willing to sleep with me. Just so that Look, you get the picture?

Yeah. Do not, do not let her get away with this. Do you know that She tried telling me that she felt bad about it all, but she still did it, all of it, and she still needs to pay. Chanel is okay. So is her mom. Thank God. Look, Jada, I’ve never seen Colin like that before. Look, I know he wanted to teach them a lesson, but.

Killed him. It’s obvious that’s what he wanted from the beginning. No, no, it, it literally, it just got out of hand, out of hand. God, Talia, the things you did, the lies you told me,

that’s not you. He lost both of his parents, Jada, it wrecked him. You know, a lot of people have been through a hell of a lot worse than calling Bedford and they don’t try to kill people. And you knew it was all wrong. That’s why you called me and thank God you did. I am trained to handle situations like this.

Why didn’t you just let me handle it? Look, I know. Okay. I just, I just wanted to stop him from hurting Chanel. That’s all I ever wanted to do, and I never met him to blow off this roof. Why do you give a damn about him?

I heard those two bitches right where I wanted them, and then Talia showed up with her cop sister and everything went to hell. She was supposed to be on my side. And she pushed me.

Why are you up there in the first place? Why? Why? I had to be on the roof. Why did you do any of it? Why didn’t you leave?

God, I told you I was gonna go to the police if you didn’t back off. Colin, I miss mom and dad as much as you do, but there are limits you can’t kill. You gave up. You told me that you met someone. You wanted to have a life here. What kind of life is that? You could see the two people who did this to us park in a restaurant and a damn bakery free.

Walking around still alive.

What kind of life is that?

I dunno.

I just did what I had to, I guess. Yeah, and I did what I had to

a different Sloan.

I can’t forget what happened. How everything is SW apart. I’ll never forget

that. You know, I was in Seattle helping trip with his brother, Joey and I. Mm-hmm. I was pretty angry with Johnny when I left. And I guess that made me wanna see if there was still something with Trip. What’s there? Well, we, uh, he was still interested and I do like him and we did end up going out one night.

Really? Because right now you don’t exactly sound over the moon about it. Well, I just, I don’t like not knowing what I’m feeling. Okay. I get so angry with Johnny, but I like him the trip. He’s just, he’s so easy to be with and I know I have to choose, but I just, I don’t know how I’m gonna do it. Why? Huh? Why do you have to choose?

Because.

Because I don’t know why, because you don’t have to choose. And in business, the worst thing you can do is make a decision before you have all the data. You know, scares me, is that I’m talking to you about my personal life and it terrifies me that I think you’re actually making sense. No, I have my moments.

I told Johnny I wouldn’t be gone long. Wonder if he thinks I was lying to him about how I feel about Trip, given the way it was the last time I saw him. I think he’ll take what he can get. Oh, well that’s romantic. Flattering too. Okay. Didn’t come out the way I meant it too. Okay. Mm-hmm. I mean, you have the upper hand.

You wanna take your sweet time to figure out what you want. They’ll both wait because you’re worth waiting for. What’s up? Was up flattering enough for you?

It’s a star.

We’re a real pair. I have no one. And you have more guys than you know what to do with.

So Wendy was kind of vague about it, but I really thought she’d be back by now. What you think she stayed to beat with Trip? I thought you said she believed you about why you proposed to Chanel. Yeah, she said she did, but Guy was here. Tripp was there. Kind of hard to compete when you’re not even in the stadium.

You know what I mean? Oh, you don’t know that for sure. Here’s an off the wall idea. Why don’t you call her and ask her, ah, I’m already coming off as kind of needy. The light from needy would take 8 million years to reach any dera, especially you. Come on. Do you need a pep talk? Johnny, don’t give up. Are you kidding me?

Stefan was dead and now we’re gonna get married. Hope and love. That’s what makes the world go round. Forget that at Shapiro Johnny V.

You rang, you’re back. Hey. Yeah. From the trip from hell dropped off my bag in Am Well, I am very glad because I missed you very much.

Okay. I. I wanna say something, Johnny. Okay. I’m really glad we got the, uh, proposal stuff behind us because I like you. I like being with you. That’s good to know. But I like trip too.

I am probably the last person you wanna see. Last person I expected to see. Well, I wanted to, uh, Tell you something, I wanted to do it in person. Okay?

After I got the divorce papers, Stephan proposed

and you accepted. Yeah, I did.

Gabby, you could have texted me the news. So why are you here? Shouldn’t you be celebrating with your fiance? We have celebrated, um, as a matter of fact, I was going downstairs to grab a second bottle of champagne, and when I got upstairs, Stephan was already asleep. But that’s all right, because it gave me the chance to do this.

I signed them too,

Talia. Why do you care about what happens to Colin? Do you still have feelings for this guy after everything he did? No. I don’t know. Okay. But you keep telling me that I could have died, but he could have died too, and I would’ve been the one who killed him. But you weren’t. He survived. So now just forget about him.

Okay. Just be glad that it’s, it’s, it’s over. Okay. Okay. What Can you do one thing for me please? Can you just see if he’s okay?

I’m back. Your pain medicine in IV bag. I’ll to go. Um, she’s gonna need to get some sleep. Okay. Okay. There’s, I need to,

Hey, I want you talk like that. This hospital is crawling with hops he needs. He needs to what? What are you doing here? What do you think I’m doing here? Don’t worry, this won’t take long. Colin Bedford, you are under arrest. Watch. And I will read you your rights since you already have counsel,

Mr. Chanel. I can’t say anything until I speak to the da. Okay? Well, I’m just gonna tell you this. One way or another. Talia Hunter is not getting away with this. Yeah. Alright, Jada, there you are. Hey. Hello. How you holding up? Fine. I just arrested Colin Bedford. And what about your sister? I think she’s gonna be okay.

I wasn’t inquiring after her health. Yeah. Chanel’s been telling me everything that your sister is just as guilty as Bedford. Only, I’m not telling you anything you don’t already know am I? So if you arrested him now, what about her? I look, I’m gonna go make sure my mom is okay. Because you see, she’s worried that her husband might die because he got in calling and told you his way.

So if your sister is not arrested tonight, I will be calling the DA and alerting the media.

Yeah, Jada, um, Chanel told me everything that Talia has confessed to her only in his office, the biscuits, and I’ve got no choice but to hold her. Okay. Why don’t you go home, go get some rest, right? No, no. I’m, I’m, I’m still on duty and I have an arrest mate.

Well, must feel nice to finally be free.

I’m not gonna lie. It does, but I’m not here to. Quote Lee, you’re, you’re free too. You can put yourself out there and I know that there’s gonna be somebody waiting somebody. They’ll be very lucky to find you after everything I put you through. You can’t seriously think that anyone would be lucky to find me.

I’m not a hypocrite Lee. I don’t forget the things that I’ve done to get what I want, so I don’t think I get to take the high moral road here. Let, let’s just move on and forget the past. Gabby, I’m, I’m sorry that I hurt you. I got crazy because losing you is the worst thing that ever happened to me.

I look back and it was inevitable. I mean, we’re a lot alike, so it felt like something that could last.

And even if Stefan hadn’t come back, you’re good at the game you set yourself. That’s all it was a game.

You’ll realize that when you meet the right woman.

I hope you do soon.

I am sorry if I was abrupt, but. And I thought you needed to know where I stood. Well, where we stood, if there’s still a we after that. So you weren’t shutting me down just then. No.

It was more of a, I like you both. I want to see where it all goes, kind of thing. And I’m not trying to make it sound like it’s a competition. I feel like different things about both of you.

Huh? Why not call it a competition? Because it means I’m still in the game.

And frankly, I like my chances.

Don’t get back to me as soon as possible. Where’s Paulina? I have good news. She’s in the chapel. No, I’m not. What? Good news? Uh, they just brought Abe to recover. Thank you. Thank you. Dr. Hubbard is cautiously optimistic that the surgery went well. Oh, can I see him? Yes, but briefly. Okay. He’s heavily sedated and he may not react.

Oh, I don’t give a damn how he reacts. I just need to see you. The alive. Okay, I’ll take you.

He’s telling. Okay, so that way Frank Sloan had no idea that Con would do this. She would’ve stopped him if she had. Don’t worry. Your girlfriend’s not facing any charges. You know, you could at least say you’re sorry for the way you were harassing her earlier. Huh? You know, visiting hours over. So why don’t you go take your girlfriend home?

Wouldn’t want her to run into Pauline again.

You had to know this would happen. Would you have really gone to the police? The difference does it make now, I dunno, Sloan, All I have left are you fool me or against me.

You’re my brother. Nothing changes that. I don’t need a sister right now. I need a lawyer. What? You have to get me outta this son. Get you out of this after all you, Colin, that was the mayor you assaulted. That was the mayor’s wife and stepdaughter you put at gunpoint

when you came to visit me. Before I said that you were a wicked smart barrister. How many can I count on you?

Like I said, you are my brother no matter what you did. Of course. I’m gonna help you

Ra. I didn’t wanna ask you this in front of Mama, but what’s happening with Talia? She’s in the process of being arrested. Good. That’s what I was hoping

here. Think I fell asleep. So. Did you see Colin? What happened to him? He’s not going to die. Thank God I arrested him

and now I have to do the same. With you,

you have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to have a lawyer with you during questioning. If you cannot afford a lawyer, one will be appointed for you.

EJ was upset about the idea of Stefan and Gabi getting engaged. He decided to propose to Nicole. She didn’t know what to say to him. She just wanted the proposal to be simple and sincere. He tried to propose again, but she turned him down. She thought he was being an opportunist and didn’t really want to marry her. He was shocked that she was angry. She told him that he only wanted to marry her because Stefan proposed to Gabi. He tried to downplay what he did, but he admitted that his timing was off. He admitted that he loved her. They were both shocked by what he said. He wasn’t sure when he loved her again. He realized the last few months were the happiest of his life. Nicole finally admitted that she loved him too. She was about to tell him something when he assumed Eric was the problem. She assured him that the problem wasn’t Eric. EJ was upset about their drunk sex together. She insists the timing is off, but he’s not sure what she means. Trask was about to rip into Eric when he told her that Sloan was arrested. Jada asked Sloan about Colin. She told her that she should have come forward about Collin sooner. Sloan believed that he wasn’t dangerous. She said that he was dangerous enough since he had her sister doing terrible things. Sloan demanded to know how their siblings knew each other. She also wanted to know what Jada thought she had on Colin.

Sloan didn’t think Jada could be objective since her sister was involved with her brother. Jada gets a call from Jada so she ran out of the office. Trask and Eric wanted to talk to Sloan. Sloan told Eric and Trask that the police thought Colin drugged the biscuits. She insisted that she didn’t have anything to do with her brother’s plan. She let them know that Talia was knee deep in the mess. Sloan said arresting her while the real culprit was out there was a bad look for the department. Trask agreed to drop the charges.

Update written by Joseph

Johnny comes home to the DiMera Mansion as Gabi stumbles down the stairs with a bottle of champagne in her hand. Gabi remarks that maybe she had too much to drink. Johnny notices the champagne and asks if she’s celebrating. Gabi shows him her ring and announces that she and Stefan are engaged again. Johnny asks if this means that Li is officially in the past. Gabi confirms that she has the divorce papers in hand, so it’s finally over.

Sloan and Eric walk through the town square. Sloan tells Eric that she gets that if she keeps any more secrets from him, they are done. Sloan then gets a phone call from Li, who says he needs to know if Gabi signed the divorce papers yet. Sloan says they just sent them over this afternoon and she knows he’s anxious but this isn’t a good time yet.

Rafe calls from the hospital that he wants more units out on the west side and for the APB on Colin Bedford to be expanded to state wide as he wants him found now. Kayla comes over and asks if she heard correctly that Abe is in surgery with a head injury. Rafe confirms that he is and when he got here, he had some sort of seizure. Kayla asks what happened. Rafe reveals that he found him on the floor at the bakery and that whoever did it took Paulina while now they can’t find Paulina or Chanel anywhere.

Jada screams for Colin to drop the gun. Chanel drops to the ground with Paulina as Talia then rushes Colin and begins fighting with Colin over the gun. Jada screams for Talia to take cover and let her do this. Jada and Chanel scream while Talia and Colin continue to struggle. Talia and Colin then both end up falling over the ledge and off the roof of the building!

Sloan asks Li why it matters when he knows she’s going to sign them. Colin then falls from the rooftop, bleeding, and lands in the town square. Sloan rushes to his side to check on him.

Jada, Chanel, and Paulina look over the edge of the roof and scream for Talia. Jada says she will call for help as she rushes down to get to Talia. Paulina worries about getting to Abe.

Kayla finishes a call and informs Rafe that the surgery is ongoing so they won’t have a status report for awhile. Rafe swears to kill Colin if Abe doesn’t pull through. Rafe argues that Sloan could have stopped all of this. Rafe gets a call from Jada and asks if she got him and questions being told about the Salem Inn.

Sloan tells Colin not to move as he will make it worse and asks what happened. Colin tells Sloan that “she did this” which Sloan questions. Jada comes rushing out of the Salem Inn looking for Talia. Eric helps her move the rubble to find Talia underneath.

Paulina informs Chanel that Colin attacked Abe at the bakery and wouldn’t let her call for an ambulance. Chanel encourages that it will be okay and says she’s calling the police but she gets a call first from Rafe. Rafe tells Chanel that he’s been calling for an hour and is trying to find her mother. Chanel informs him that Paulina is with her and cries that it was awful. Rafe asks what happened and if she is alright. Chanel says they are on the roof of the Salem Inn but worries about Abe being hurt. Rafe confirms that Abe is in surgery at the hospital and says he’ll send a unit for them. Chanel tells Rafe that there is more and informs him that Colin got them all to the roof and he was going to push her off but Talia and Colin both went over the edge of the roof. Chanel worries for Jada.

Jada questions why Talia did that as she cries. Eric encourages that help is coming. Sloan tells Colin not to worry and to stay strong as help is coming.

Johnny asks Gabi if Wendy was in the office today. Gabi says she wasn’t and asks what the problem is. Johnny says if she wasn’t there, that means she’s still in Seattle with Tripp.

Wendy comes home to the apartment where Li asks what happened to her. Wendy asks what didn’t happen since she was supposed to be back yesterday and was on her flight until a drunk man started fighting with the flight attendant so they got diverted to South Dakota to get him off the plane and by the time they did that, the crew had logged too many hours so they were stuck there for the night. Li jokes with her. Wendy tells him not to joke because today was almost just as bad as they made an unexpected stop in Boise. Li says she should’ve called. Wendy asks why since he can’t send the DiMera jet since he doesn’t work there anymore. Wendy complains of her bad mood. Li says he’s afraid that he’s not the person to cheer her up tonight. Wendy asks what’s wrong. Li responds that his mood matches her’s since he signed the divorce papers today. Wendy tells him that she’s so sorry. Li admits he knew it was coming and he keeps telling himself that it will provide closure. Li asks if Wendy is going to let Johnny know that she’s back. Wendy responds that she’s not sure. Li asks if Johnny didn’t convince her that he only proposed to Chanel because of the drugged biscuits. Wendy assures that he did convince her, so Li questions what the hesitation is. Wendy responds that she may be interested in someone else.

Kayla finishes call with an EMT, saying to bring in the two patients to the trauma unit. Rafe guesses it’s Colin and Talia. Kayla doesn’t know but says they are in pretty bad shape so she’s going there now. Chanel brings Paulina in a wheelchair over to them. Paulina asks Rafe where Abe is and says she has to see him. Rafe responds that he’s still in surgery. Rafe asks if they are okay as he’s been looking everywhere for them. Chanel says they are fine but Paulina says they are not. Paulina asks about Abe’s surgery and what that animal did to him. Chanel encourages her to stay calm while Rafe says he will tell her everything he knows. Rafe explains that Abe was brought in for head trauma. Paulina worries about how long Abe was laying on the floor since Colin wouldn’t let her call an ambulance. Rafe assures that everyone loves Abe and no one will let anything happen to him. Sloan and Eric arrive at the hospital. Paulina screams not her while Chanel asks Rafe to get Sloan out of here. Sloan tells Rafe that she needs to see his brother. Rafe informs her that he’s in the trauma center. Rafe tells Sloan to go and stay the hell away from Paulina and Chanel. After Sloan hurries to the trauma center, Eric tells Rafe that he didn’t have to talk to her like that. Rafe tells Eric to look at Paulina and Chanel as he declares that Sloan and Colin are responsible for that. Eric starts to argue but decides it doesn’t matter. Eric goes over to Paulina and apologizes. Paulina questions Eric thinking he can just say he’s sorry after what Sloan and Colin did to Abe. Eric doesn’t understand and asks what happened to Abe. Chanel informs him that Colin bashed Abe’s head in with a rolling pin at the bakery. Eric asks where Abe is. Chanel says he’s in surgery and they don’t know if he’s going to make it or if Talia is either. Eric informs them that Talia was brought here. Chanel is surprised that Talia is alive while Paulina declares that she hopes Colin is dead.

Sloan visits Colin in the trauma center, where the doctor informs her that it’s a miracle that Colin is still alive. Sloan asks how he is. The doctor says there’s no obvious breaks but he’s ordered x-rays and painkillers. He leaves the room to allow Sloan to talk to Colin as he wakes up and asks what happened. Colin tells Sloan that he did what he had to do. Sloan questions him taking Chanel and Paulina captive when he was supposed to go away as he promised her that he would leave them alone. Colin admits that he lied and says he was so close to making them pay. Colin declares that he would’ve if it wasn’t for Talia.

Jada sits with Talia in her hospital room. Jada informs her that the awning saved her life and cries about seeing her go over the edge of the roof. Kayla enters the room. Jada hugs her and says she’s so glad that she will be treating her sister. Jada introduces Talia to Kayla as a good friend of their father. Kayla asks Talia how she’s feeling. Talia admits she’s scared and angry at herself. Kayla understands she’s been through a lot. Kayla says the paramedics did a good job bandaging her. Kayla checks her and says she might have a broken arm but they will know more with an x-ray. Kayla says that Talia is very lucky and she will get her painkilllers. Kayla then exits the room to give them a moment. Talia asks Jada how Chanel is.

Eric decides to take Paulina to the chapel to pray. Chanel calls that weird as she didn’t think anyone could calm Paulina down, let alone Eric. Rafe calls Paulina a strong woman and says Chanel takes after her. Chanel isn’t sure about that. Rafe asks if she’s ready to talk about it. Chanel says she is so she sits with Rafe. Rafe tells her to take her time. Chanel starts by saying that tonight Talia told her that Sloan’s brother ran the whole show and she was his girlfriend who had been working the whole time with him against them. Chanel says she tried to call Paulina to warn her but when she called, Colin answered and told her to meet him on the roof of the Salem Inn. Chanel adds that when she got there, he had a gun and said he was going to make Paulina jump so she would die like his mother died but when she wouldn’t, he turned the gun on her. Chanel says that was when Talia and Jada showed up and things got even crazier. Chanel thought Colin was going to start shooting everyone but that’s when Talia jumped in and tried to grab the gun but Colin started fighting her off and then they both went over the edge. Rafe takes that as what Chanel is saying is that Talia saved her life. Chanel disagrees and argues that if it wasn’t for Talia, she wouldn’t have been on the roof, Paulina wouldn’t have been in danger, and Colin couldn’t have done any of this. Rafe knows that Talia has been lying to them but asks if she was really in that deep and knew what Colin was doing. Chanel reveals that Talia admitted everything and that she loves that creep so she would do anything that he told her to do which is why she spiked the biscuits, stole Paulina’s keys, and was willing to sleep with her. Chanel tells Rafe not to let Talia get away with this. Chanel notes that Talia tried telling her that she felt bad about it all, but she still did it and needs to pay.

Jada tells Talia that Chanel and Paulina are okay. Talia tells Jada that she’s never seen Colin like that before. Talia knows he wanted to teach them a lesson. Jada says it’s obvious that he wanted to kill them from the beginning. Talia argues that it just got out of hand. Jada brings up the things Talia did and the lies she told her. Jada says that’s not her. Talia argues that Colin lost both of his parents and it wrecked him. Jada says that a lot of people have been through worse than Colin and don’t try to kill people. Jada adds that Talia knew it was wrong which is why she called her. Jada points out that she is trained to handle situations like this and asks why she didn’t just let her handle it. Talia says she knows but she just wanted to stop Colin from hurting Chanel and she never meant for him to go off the side of the roof. Jada questions why she gives a damn about him.

Colin tells Sloan that he had those two bitches right where he wanted them but then Talia showed up with Jada and everything went to hell. Colin argues that Talia was supposed to be on his side and she pushed him. Sloan questions why he was up there in the first place. Colin says it had to be on the roof. Sloan asks why he did any of it and why he didn’t leave. Sloan reminds him that she told him she would go to the police if he didn’t back off. Sloan says she misses their parents as much as he does but there are limits and he can’t kill. Colin complains that Sloan gave up and asks what kind of life she could live if she had to see the people that did this to them being free and alive. Sloan guesses she just did what she had to. Colin says that he did too. Colin states that they are different as he can’t forget what happened and how everything was torn apart because he’ll never forget.

Wendy tells Li that she was in Seattle, helping Tripp with Joey and she was pretty angry with Johnny when she left, so she guesses that made her want to see if there was still something with Tripp. Li asks if there was. Wendy admits that Tripp is still interested, she does like him, and they ended up going out one night which felt good. Li feels she doesn’t sound that over the moon about it. Wendy says she just doesn’t like not knowing how she’s feeling. She mentions getting so angry with Johnny, but she likes him, while Tripp is so easy to be with and she knows she has to choose but she doesn’t know how to do it. Li asks why she has to choose. Wendy admits she doesn’t know why. Li tells her that she doesn’t have to choose and says in business, the worst thing you can do is make a decision before having all the data. Wendy jokes that it scares her that she’s talking to him about her personal life and it terrifies her that he’s actually making sense. Li says he has his moments. Wendy notes that she told Johnny that she wouldn’t be gone long, so she wonders if he thinks she was lying to him about how she feels about Tripp. Li feels Johnny will take what he can get based on the last time he saw him. Li encourages that Wendy has the upper hand and can take her time to decide what she wants because they will both wait since she is worth waiting for. Li jokes that they’re a real pair since he has no one and she has more guys than she knows what to do with.

Johnny tells Gabi that Wendy was vague but he thought she’d be home by now. Gabi thought Wendy believed him about being drugged. Johnny says she said that she did but Tripp was there and he was here, so it’s kind of hard to compete when you’re not in the stadium. Gabi encourages that he doesn’t know for sure and suggests that he call Wendy and ask her. Johnny worries about coming off needy. Gabi urges him not to give up. Gabi points out that Stefan was dead and now they are getting married. Gabi declares that hope and love is what makes the world go round as she then heads back upstairs. Johnny decides to call Wendy but she shows up at his door. Johnny says he missed her very much and leans in to kiss her but she backs away and says she wants to say something. Wendy is glad they got the proposal stuff behind them because she likes him and being with him, but she likes Tripp too.

Gabi shows up at Li’s door and says she wanted to tell him something in person. Gabi informs him that after she got the divorce papers, Stefan proposed and she accepted. Li says she could have texted him that news and questions why she’s here instead of celebrating with Stefan. Gabi states that they have celebrated and she was going to grab a second bottle of champagne but Stefan was already asleep which gave her the chance to do this. Gabi then hands Li the divorce papers and informs him that she signed them too.

Jada questions Talia as to why she cares about what happens to Colin and if she still has feelings for him after everything he did. Talia admits she doesn’t know, pointing out that she could have died but he could have too and she would’ve been the one who killed him. Jada points out that she didn’t and he survived. Jada urges Talia to forget about Colin and be glad that it’s over. Talia asks Jada if she can just see that Colin is okay. Kayla returns to the room with pain medicine. Kayla tells Jada that Talia will need to get some sleep. Jada declares there is something she needs to do and exits the room.

Sloan tells Colin not to talk like that because the place is crawling with cops. Jada then storms in and questions what Sloan is doing there. Jada says it won’t take long and handcuffs Colin to the bed. She says he’s under arrest but she won’t read him his rights because he already has counsel in Sloan. Jada then storms back out of the room.

Rafe tells Chanel that he can’t say anything until he speaks to the district attorney. Chanel declares that one way or another, Talia Hunter is not getting away with this. Jada comes out and Rafe excitedly greets her, asking how she’s holding up. Jada says she’s okay and informs him that she just arrested Colin. Chanel asks what about Talia. Jada responds that she thinks she’s going to be okay. Chanel angrily says that she wasn’t inquiring about her health as Talia is just as guilty as Colin which she already knows. Chanel points out that Jada arrested Colin and asks what about Talia. Chanel then decides she’s going to check on Paulina because she’s worried that Abe might die because he got in Colin and Talia’s way. Chanel warns Jada that if Talia is not arrested tonight, she will be calling the district attorney tonight and alerting the media. Chanel then storms off. Rafe tells Jada that Chanel told him about everything that Talia had confessed to her, so he has no choice but to hold her. Rafe suggests Jada go home and rest but Jada says she’s still on duty and she has an arrest to make as she walks away.

Li tells Gabi that it must feel nice to finally be free. Gabi admits that it does but says she’s not here to gloat, pointing out that Li is free too to put himself out there. Gabi knows there will be somebody waiting that will be very lucky to find him. Li argues that after everything he put her through, she can’t seriously think someone would be lucky to find him. Gabi says she doesn’t forget the things that she’s done to get what she wants, so she can’t take the moral high ground here. Gabi suggests they just move on and forget the past. Li apologizes for hurting her and admits he got crazy because losing her is the worst thing that ever happened to him. Gabi says she looks back and calls it inevitable. Gabi admits they’re a lot like so it felt like something that could last, but even if Stefan never came back, Li said himself that it was all a game. Gabi kisses Li on the cheek and says he will realize that when he meets the right woman and she hopes he does soon. Gabi then exits the apartment.

Wendy tells Johnny that she’s sorry if she was abrupt, but she thought he needed to know where they stood. Johnny questions her not shutting him down just then. Johnny asks if she likes them both and wants to see where it goes. Wendy doesn’t want to make it sound like a competition but says she likes different things about both of them. Johnny suggests calling it a competition since that means he’s still in the game as they then kiss. Johnny then states that he likes his chances.

Rafe finishes a call. Kayla comes over and asks where Paulina is because she has good news. Rafe says she’s in the chapel. Eric and Chanel then return with Paulina to ask about the good news. Kayla announces that Abe has just been brought to recovery which Paulina is relieved to hear. Kayla adds that the doctor is cautiously optimistic that the surgery was a success. Paulina asks to see Abe which Kayla says she can allow that briefly so she takes her to his room. Eric asks Rafe if Talia is okay. Rafe says it looks that way. Eric insists that Sloan had no idea that Colin would do this and she would’ve stopped him if she had. Rafe tells Eric not to worry as Sloan isn’t facing any charges. Eric remarks that Rafe could’ve just apologized for harassing Sloan earlier. Rafe tells Eric that visiting hours are over so he should take Sloan home so she doesn’t run in to Paulina again.

Sloan tells Colin that he had to know this would happen. Colin asks if she really would have gone to the police. Sloan asks what difference it makes now. Colin argues that she’s all he has left, so he asks if she is for him or against him. Sloan states that he is her brother and nothing changes that. Colin responds that he doesn’t need a sister right now, he needs a lawyer and she has to get him out of this. Sloan reminds him that he assaulted the mayor and put the mayor’s wife and stepdaughter at gunpoint. Colin asks if he can count on her. Sloan repeats that he is her brother no matter what, so of course she’s going to help him, right as Eric looks in to the room.

Chanel returns to Rafe and asks what’s happening with Talia. Rafe informs her that she’s in the process of being arrested. Chanel says that’s what she was hoping for.

Jada returns to Talia’s hospital room as she wakes up. Talia asks if she saw Colin and what happened to him. Jada informs her that he’s not going to die and she arrested him. Jada declares that now she has to do the same with her. Jada reads Talia her rights while holding back tears.

Tall? Is that you? Look, I really need your help. Okay. I think I really messed up. She’s at your sister. I’m at the station. I’m gonna need you to come here. No, just please just come to me. Okay. I’m in the Salem in room five 14. Just whatever you do, please hurry. I’m on my way. You think you’re going somewhere?

What about me? Used to be booked. Where the hell are you going?

Detective Hunter. I need you to explain why Sloane Kirson was a,

so, um, Nicole Walker. Sloan Peterson and her, do you have a thing for obnoxious women?

I need an answer, Nicole. My knee’s going to sleep. Ah, would you please get up? What’s wrong? I thought you liked spontaneity. Would you have preferred one of those large spectacles that goes viral on social media? Shall I get your favorite boy band to perform and serenade you in the town square while doves fly out?

Maybe just a simple, sincere proposal of marriage. Alright, I’ll give it another go.

Will you be the honor of

No, no, no. Why in the hell would I even think about marrying a cynical opportunistic jackass?

So you’re not just rejecting my proposal, you’re calling me names. Well, you’re lucky I didn’t knee you in the Dara family jewel. And you know what that reminds me? The next time you decide to propose to someone, you might wanna come prepared with what? I don’t know, a ring maybe. Wait, wait. Is that why you rejected my proposal?

Because I didn’t slip on a vulgar, extravagant diamond on your finger? No, of course not. Then what’s the bloody problem then? I mean, it, I, I, I’m, I’m at a loss here. A marriage proposal doesn’t usually spark an angry diatribe. You mean a heartfelt one? Doesn’t, my proposal was heartfelt. I had the purest of intentions when I asked you to marry me.

Bull. Bull. Yeah. Bull. The one and only reason you proposed to me is because your brother proposed to Gabby. Yeah. Oh, and I go in there and talk to Sloan. Uh, no. But you can’t answer this question for me. Did your old girlfriend arrest your current girlfriend? Because she finally has proof that your current girlfriend poisoned those biscuits.

It’s quite the opposite. She and Rafe now know for a fact that someone else lays those biscuits. Yeah. And who is that? Someone you know, I’m going in there. Please just leave her alone. How about you tell me what I wanna know. And I’ll e be in there when I talk to her.

Thank God. Here you need to tell me everything you know about Colin and if you try to protect him. I ball. Okay, good, because I already know that he’s Sloan Peterson’s brother. Wait, how did, how did you find out? I’m a cop. Remember, you’ve been helping Colin harass Paulina and her daughter this whole time, right?

Whoa. You know, our father would be so ashamed. You just stop yelling at me and listen for once. Please. You’ll have to stop. Colin from her nation, Chanel’s mother. Why? What has he done? Girl, you better answer me. Look. Okay. He swore that he was done going after them, but then I found this

and I’m pretty sure it’s blindness. Wow. The hell. Did he get it? Did he steal it? I don’t, I don’t know. I don’t, I don’t think so. Okay. What do you think

that Paulina was here in this room? What coming? What the hell are they now? Yeah. I’m at University Hospital right now with the mayor. They’re working on ’em in the er. Did you guys get any word on the a p B? We put out on Colin Bedford? Well tell the units to look harder then. Listen, I’m pretty sure this is the guy that attacked the mayor, and according to ab, he’s the one who kidnapped Paulina price.

Bedford should be considered armed and dangerous. No. There must be a way to work. Work this out. There must be, there must be something you want. Just name your price. See, there you go again. You can throw money at any problem and it’ll just go away. Huh? And guess what? I don’t want your dirty money. What I want is my parents back.

Since you can’t give that to me. What I want is justice. Oh, you must be outta your damn mind if you, I’m gonna jump off this roof. I’ll get justice another way. Oh, they’re making me watch your daughter die.

Really, you’re not gonna say anything. Oh, for fear, I might offend your tender sensibilities. Oh wait, you are insulted. Why wouldn’t I be? You’ve decided that my proposal was a business maneuver. Excuse me. Have you forgotten that before you got down on one knee, you were desperate to find a way to upstage Stephanie and Gabby?

I’ll admit that the timing of the proposal could have been. Crass, hurtful. Alright. Alright. It did have something to do with Gabby and Stephan. Thank you. You finally admitted, but that isn’t the only reason that I proposed. No. Gimme a break. What other reason could there be the fact that I happened to love you, or is that not up to your high standards either?

You love me?

Yes, I do.

In fact, I’m very much in love with you.

What are you two doing together? Uh, we bumped into one another here. Eric told me you’ve been arrested. You must have loved hearing that. Oh, it didn’t depress me. I’ll tell you that. You know, I had to go to the ER because I couldn’t stop puking after I ate one of those poison biscuits. And Eric informed me that your brother is responsible.

I don’t know who put drugs in the biscuits. What I do know is that. The police believe that my brother’s been the one who’s been harassing Paul and her daughter. Then why are you the one that’s sitting here? They’re saying I’m an accessory because I didn’t turn colon in, which I did not even know. He was in Salem for quite a while, and after I found out, I had absolutely no idea what he was up to.

I still don’t. This whole arrest was an attempt at intimidation, and I intend to sue this department in the city. Will you knock off the amateur theatrics? It’s not like they beat you with a rubber hose. Look, I had no part in what my brother may have been doing to Mayor Carver’s family. I sought perfectly legal remedies to heal my grievances, and when that didn’t work, I gave up.

And if the cops are really gonna try and nail me on guilt by association, well, they’d better be careful because. One of their own is mixed up in this. What do you mean? I mean, I’m not the only one who’s got a sibling involved in this mess. Wait, could you be a little less cryptic? Sure. Detective Hunter has a sister named Talia and she’s up to her neck and this, come on, Talia think.

Where could Colin have taken Paul look? Okay. I don’t know. I swear. Whose photo of Mak Collins?

Oh my God. There’s photos and clippings of his parents’ death. This guy is obsessed. How could you got messed up with a guy like this? I didn’t know anything about this, his whole obsession until we were already involved. There’s a newspaper article in here about Colin’s mother falling off of a roof after a confrontation with Chanel.

Oh my God. What? I think I know where you took Paulina

baby. Isn’t that touching? You still think is your baby? Such a shame. This is gonna be the last time that you two see each other alive. College calling Ring. Shut up. No. If you’re gonna hurt her, you’re gonna have to do it. Knowing the truth from you. Your father, he wasn’t some victim. He was a predator who took advantage of an impressionable college student.

Punish the truth. He was my professor. He had the power and he pursued me, not the other way around. And yes. I slept with him and that is something I will regret for the rest of my life. But he was the one who betrayed your mother, who cheated on her, and she placed the blame on me and she learned me after that roof and she tried to kill me.

And I, I defended myself and believe me, calling If I could go back and I could change any of that, I would. But I swear to you, your mother’s death. It was an accident. A filthy liar. Now, don’t say anything. No, no. He’s made up his mind to do this terrible thing, so he’s gonna have to do it. Knowing the truth as says, I reviewed, you have a positive acquaintance with the truth, right?

That’s it. You know I was gonna let you live with the memory of watching your mom jump toward her, but that’s too good for you. So I’m gonna kill you both instead, how that,

I’m giving you five minutes. At the very least, mayor Carver has suffered a serious concussion. I’m waiting for the results on the CT scan. Okay.

What’s going on, boss? Hey, Paulita. Paulita? Yeah. Yeah. I’m gonna join the search, but I just wanted to see you first. Leave. Leave me. Find her. Find my wife. I will. I promise. Promises not find my wife.

Abe, what’s going on? Who’s yep? Abe. Abe, can you hear me? Abe?

Detective Hernandez, how is he? The CT scan revealed an intracranial hemorrhage. Okay, so that’s what caused the seizure or brain bleed? Correct. We have to get him into the OR immediately. Okay. He’s obviously not able to sign a consent form, so is there a family member who can do it? Yeah, you know, I’ll get in touch with one of his sons.

Let me know as soon as you reach somebody. Okay.

Hey, it’s me again. Abe’s going into surgery and I need to get in touch with one of his sons so that they can consent. Can you get me Theo Carver’s cell phone number fast? Okay.

Come on Theo. Be there. Your dad needs you.

You’re in love with me. Really? Is it that much of a revelation? After all, we were our loved ones before. Ah, enough to get married. Yes, I, I remember, and I have the battle scars to prove it. We’ve evolved. It’ll be different this time, I assure you.

Oh, when did it hit you that you felt this way?

I’m not sure. In these past few months, living in that house with you and Holly, it’s, it’s the happiest I’ve been in a very long time. You and I are such a good fit, Nicole. We work beautifully together. We’re madly attracted to one another. We make each other laugh. That’s love, isn’t it?

I, I don’t know what to say. Well, usually when a man tells a woman that he loves her, it’s customary for the woman to say she loves him too.

Of course, if she does,

I too care about you ej. You know that, but sure. Not in love with me

Eric. Heidi still, isn’t it?

Let me make sure I heard that right. Detective Hunter’s sister somehow got mixed up with your brother. How have you known about this? I just found out Jada let something slip when she was questioning me. I don’t think she meant to. And then she got a call from who was obviously her sister, and that’s when she rushed out of here.

I see. I don’t think I need to point out the unfairness of arresting me as an accessory. While her own sister, who very well may be in accessory, is out there running free, it’s not a good look for this department.

You could change the situation by making these bogus charges go away.

I’ve heard enough to do that. You’re free to go, but that brother of yours, he’s gonna have to answer for what he did, and so is tally hunter. It’s over. Colin. You start to pull that trigger and I’ll take you out. Step away from the legend. Let fight go. Yes. You not give a damn about what happened to me. I don’t.

There’s no way that I’m letting go of her now. Please, baby. Just listened to her. Please. Why are you doing up? You shouldn’t be here. Why did you bring her up? I trusted you. I brought her here cause you promised me that this was over. Collin, please, please don’t hurt Mrs. Christ. If you care about my sister at all, you’ll listen to her.

I don’t think you really wanna add murder to your law list of felonies. You’re on my side anymore. Are you? You ranez right, baby. I’m Don’t

What’s happening? Fuck.

Ej Eric has nothing to do with the way that I feel about you. You’re sure it’s understandable if sex with your ex-husband rekindle the old feelings. Oh my God. Eric and I had sex because we were drugged and we were both embarrassed by it. He’s moved on and so have I. I thought we settled this. And what’s keeping you from accepting my proposal?

It’s, it’s, it’s just the timings. I bet off the timing. What exactly do you mean?

Make sure you keep me posted.

I assume I can go now. You might be interested to know that your brother posed as a Department of Health inspector and met with Mayor Carver and Ms. Price at the bakery today. What happened? He attacked Mayor Carver with a blunt instrument. The mayor is in surgery right now. Oh my God. There’s more. Before he lost consciousness, Abe told Rafe Hernandez that your brother has missed price.

Who is able to make it? Okay? Luckily, Rafe found him at the bakery and he called an ambulance, so I hope he’s gonna make it through this, but nobody knows. This is a nightmare. You’re damn right it is. And you better hope that Detective Hunter can stop your brother before he can cause even more damage tonight.

And you might wanna give up the stupid vendetta that you got

and don’t leave town.

Can you please get me out of here now? Yeah, sure.

Io. Your dad is one of the strongest guys I know. If he can get the surgery, he can beat this. Yeah. Well, thank God I got in touch with you so quickly. Oh, wait a second here. Here’s the doctor. This is Abe Suno. I can vouch for that. Now, if you can give consent. Can you electronically sign the forms afterwards?

Yes. Let me talk to him. Okay. Hey, I’m gonna put you on with the doctor. Her name’s Dr. Hubbard. Okay, here she is. Mr. Carver? Yes. If we operate now, your father stands a chance of a full recovery. Do I have your consent? Thank you so much. Please sign the forms as soon as you get them. Hey, I’ll be in touch. Okay?

Please do everything you can to save his life. I will. I have to scrub in. Yeah. Okay.

Jada. Hey, it’s me again. I’m at the hospital with Abe. Please call me as soon as you get this.

Oh my God. Paulina, what’s that bastard doing to you? What’s the matter with her? Is she faking this? No, she’s done this before. Okay. She’s having a panic attack. It sorry’s, not big deal. Helen, its If you can’t breathe, Paul.

Oh my God. She’s Please help her. No, no. Back stop. Okay. I have to do something. Don’t worried about her. This is just another one of us. It started having these attacks after you and your sister made our life a nightmare. I’m sorry for her. Get yourself under control, Collin. You’re enough Trouble as it is, don’t hurt anyone else tonight

I’m just gonna shoot her and be.

Why do you need more time to decide how you feel about mej? No. You’ve, you’ve just taken me by a surprise and I, I, I have been keeping you at arm’s length, figuratively, not literally true. I have been keeping you at arm’s length. Figuratively. It’s just because things between us have had a way of not working out.

But now you’ve said something that’s changed everything

and I just, I need a little time.

Well then, um, take as much time as you need. However, I want to make it clear where I stand.

I’m in love with you, Nicole Walker, and I wanna spend the rest of my life with you and Holly.

That is, I, wow. I didn’t, I did not see this coming. Get used to it.

No, it’s quite late. We should probably go to bed.

You go upstairs and I will be right there. Don’t keep me waiting too. I won’t.

He loves me

and he wants to marry me, and I can’t even think about that.

Not until I know. Whether you’re his baby

or Eric’s

number one, there’s gonna be some words about Abe. I have to find Colin, maybe I can talk him into giving himself up. I wish you would’ve trusted me enough to tell me that you saw him here in town. I’m so sorry. Look, he’s my brother and he is all the family I have left. I was just trying to protect him from me.

I didn’t know how you would react. I understand what it’s like to protect a sibling. You met my sister, Sammy, so you understand. Yes, I understand. But what I don’t understand is how you were enabling him to do the things that he was doing. Eric, I swear I had nothing to do with him harassing Paulina or Chanel.

Do you believe me? Don’t you? Yeah, I do. But if we’re gonna stay together, there can be no more secrets between us.

Those vitamins were prescribed for you, which means the only change of life you are going through is being pregnant. You’re not saying anything. Oh my God. You are pregnant.

No more secrets, I promise.

Hey, Jada, it’s me again. I still haven’t heard from you and dispatch doesn’t have a location for you. Says you went looking for your sister and Colin Bedford. Still hasn’t been spot. Are you in trouble? Do you need backup? Please call me as soon as you get this.

I told you.

Days of Our Lives Update

Update written by Joseph

In the living room of the DiMera Mansion, EJ complains to Nicole that it’s no surprise that Gabi managed to worm her way back in to the family. Nicole knows they are going to use their wedding to bolster their image at the company. EJ then suggests maybe they will steal their thunder and upstage them. Nicole asks how, so EJ gets down on one knee and proposes to Nicole. Nicole doesn’t know what to say while EJ encourages her to say yes to being his wife.

Melinda confronts Eric at the police station and brings up when he pretended to be a paralegal. Eric informs her that he’s waiting on Sloan. Melinda asks if Sloan is in the interrogation room with one of her skeevy clients. Eric decides she’s going to find out sooner than later and reveals that Sloan has been arrested.

Sloan tells Jada that the last time she saw Colin was yesterday afternoon at the motel after he promised her that he was going to leave town. Jada asks if he gave any indication of where he was going next. Sloan complains that they’ve already been over that she doesn’t know where he is. Jada warns her to drop the attitude and says if she would’ve just turned her brother in then she wouldn’t be in this mess but now her psychotic brother is on the loose and who knows what he’ll do next. Sloan argues that he’s not dangerous and that Jada doesn’t know him. Jada responds that she knows him well enough to know that he somehow convinced her sister to do his dirty work and that makes him dangerous enough to her. Sloan questions what she is talking about. Jada says they are talking about Sloan here, so she doesn’t owe her any explanations. Sloan didn’t know Jada had a sister and wants to talk about her. Sloan decides that Jada doesn’t get to just drop a bomb like that and walk it back. Sloan questions how exactly her sister and Colin are involved.

Talia questions how Paulina’s scarf got in Colin’s hotel room and wonders what Colin has done now.

Rafe finds Abe at the Bakery and tells him he’s going to be alright as he’s calling for an ambulance. Abe urges Rafe to help Paulina. Rafe assures that he will as he calls in for the ambulance. Rafe tells Abe that they are on the way to get him help and asks if he can tell him who did this to him. Abe responds that it was a young guy who said he was a health inspector that hit him from behind and he’s got Paulina.

Chanel comes to the rooftop where Colin is holding his gun on Paulina. Paulina tells Chanel to do what he says. Colin says he’s delighted that Chanel showed up as this has all worked out perfectly. Chanel asks what he’s going to do. Colin complains that they went to great lengths to make the world believe that his mom threw herself off of a building so now the story is about to come full circle. Colin tells Chanel to say goodbye to her mom, because she’s about to jump to her death as he holds her at gunpoint. Chanel cries for him to stop. Colin complains that Paulina used her money and influence to make the world believe that his mother committed suicide. Colin declares that now Paulina is going to end her life the same way that Chanel ended his mom’s. Chanel pleads with him but Colin mocks her. Paulina argues that he needs his help as he’s out of his mind. Colin blames them for making him this way. Colin shouts that Chanel took his parents away from him, so now she’s going to watch as he takes her mom away from her.

Rafe encourages Abe to stay with him. Abe worries about Paulina being taken. Rafe assures that there’s an APB out on him already and every cop wants to find him. Abe asks who it is. Rafe informs him that it’s Colin Bedford, Sloan Peterson’s brother. The ambulance arrives as Abe loses consciousness.

Sloan demands that Jada tell her what she thinks she has on her brother. Jada says she can demand all she wants but she’s the suspect here, so she asks the questions. Sloan argues that she’s charging her as an accessory, so if her sister is involved, she can’t be objective. Jada gets a call from Talia, who says she really needs her help as she thinks she really messed up. Jada tells her to come to the station but Talia says she needs to come to her. Talia tells her to come to room 514 at the Salem Inn and to hurry. Jada responds that she’s on her way. Sloan asks what about her. Jada tells her to stay put. Sloan questions where the hell she is going as Jada exits the room. Melinda tries to ask Jada for an explanation on Sloan’s arrest but Jada rushes out of the station. Melinda then questions if Eric has a thing for obnoxious women since he’s been with Nicole, Jada, and now Sloan.

EJ tells Nicole that he needs an answer. Nicole asks EJ to get up. EJ questions what’s wrong as he thought she liked being spontaneous. EJ jokingly asks if she wants a grand proposal. Nicole suggests a simple and sincere proposal of marriage. EJ decides to try again and asks Nicole to marry him, but she says no. Nicole questions why she would even think of marrying a cynical, opportunistic jackass. EJ questions her not just rejecting his proposal, but calling him names. Nicole remarks that he’s lucky that she didn’t knee him in the family jewels. Nicole suggests that next time, he comes prepared with a ring. EJ asks if that’s why she rejected him. Nicole says no, so EJ questions what the problem is here then. Nicole argues that it wasn’t heartfelt. EJ claims he had the purest intentions when he asked her to marry him. Nicole argues that the only reason EJ proposed to her is because Stefan proposed to Gabi.

Eric asks if he can go in to talk to Sloan but Melinda says no. Melinda asks if Jada arrested Sloan because she finally has proof that Sloan poisoned the biscuits. Eric says it’s quite the opposite as Jada and Rafe now know for fact that someone else laced those biscuits. Melinda asks who that is but Eric doesn’t answer. Melinda decides she’s going to talk to Sloan then. Eric asks her to leave Sloan alone. Melinda suggests then Eric tell her what she wants to know and then she will let him be in there when she talks to her.

Jada goes to see Talia and demands that she tell her everything she knows about Colin. Jada reveals that she already knows Colin is Sloan’s brother. Talia asks how she found out. Jada reminds her that she’s a cop and questions Talia helping Colin harass Chanel and Paulina this whole time. Jada shouts that their father would be so ashamed. Talia tells her to stop yelling at her and to listen. Talia tells Jada that she has to stop Colin from hurting Paulina. Jada asks what he has done. Talia cries that Colin swore that he was done going after them, but then she found Paulina’s scarf in the room. Jada questions if Colin stole it. Talia doesn’t think so, so Jada asks what she does think. Talia believes Paulina was in the room with Colin. Jada questions where the hell they are now.

Rafe goes to the hospital with Abe and makes a call about the APB on Colin. Rafe orders the units to look harder as he’s pretty sure Colin attacked Abe and kidnapped Paulina, so he should be considered armed and dangerous.

Paulina tells Colin that they can work this out and tells him to name his price. Colin argues that he doesn’t want her dirty money, he wants his parents back and since she can’t give him that, he wants justice. Paulina says he’s out of his mind if he thinks she’s jumping off the roof. Colin decides that he’ll get justice another way then, by making her watch her daughter die.

Nicole questions EJ not saying anything. EJ mocks her tender sensibilities for deciding his proposal was a business maneuver. Nicole points out that EJ was desperate to find a way to upstage Stefan and Gabi. EJ then admits it did have something to do with Gabi and Stefan, but it’s not the only reason he proposed. Nicole asks what other reason there could be. EJ responds that he happens to love her and asks if that’s not up to her high standards either. Nicole is surprised and questions EJ saying he loves her. EJ assures that he does and declares that he’s very much in love with her.

Melinda brings Eric in to the interrogation room. Sloan questions what they are doing together. Melinda explains that they bumped in to each other here and Eric told her that Sloan was arrested. Sloan bets she loved hearing that. Melinda brings up getting sick from the drugged biscuits and that Eric told her that Sloan’s brother is behind it. Sloan responds that she doesn’t know who put the drugs in the biscuits, but the police believe that her brother has been harassing Paulina and Chanel. Melinda questions why Sloan is the one here then. Sloan responds that they say she’s an accessory for not turning Colin in. Sloan argues that she had no idea that he was in town until recently while she had no idea what he was up to and still doesn’t. Sloan complains that her whole arrest was an attempt at intimidation, so she intends to sue the department and the city. Sloan argues that she sought legal remedies for her problems with Chanel and Paulina and when that didn’t work, she gave up. Sloan adds that if the cops really try to nail on her on guilt by association, then they better be careful because one of their own is involved in this. Eric asks what she means. Sloan responds that she’s not the only one who has a sibling involved in this mess. Melinda asks her to be less cryptic. Sloan then reveals that Jada’s sister Talia is up to her neck in this.

Jada urges Talia to think of where Colin could have taken Paulina. Talia swears that she doesn’t know. Jada finds Colin’s family photo album and looks through it, seeing photos and clippings of his parents’ death. Jada states that he’s obsessed and asks how Talia could get involved with a guy like this. Talia argues that she didn’t know until after they were involved. Jada finds an article about Colin’s mother falling off a roof after a confrontation with Chanel. Talia then realizes that she might know where Colin took Paulina.

Paulina pleads with Colin not to hurt Chanel. Chanel tells Colin that he has to know the truth that his father wasn’t a victim, but a predator who took advantage of his student. Chanel argues that he pursued her and admits that she slept with him which is something that she will regret for the rest of her life. Chanel cries that Colin’s father cheated on his mother, so his mother lured her to the roof to try and kill her and she just defended herself. Chanel adds that if she could go back and change any of it, she would. Chanel swears that his mother’s death was an accident. Colin calls it lies. Chanel shouts that Colin will be doing this, knowing the truth. Colin declares that he was going to let Chanel live with the memory of her mother jumping to her death but now he’s going to kill them both.

A nurse gives Rafe five minutes to visit with Abe in the hospital, noting that Abe has a concussion and she’s waiting on the results from the CT scan. Abe calls out for Paulina. Rafe says he’s going to join the search but he wanted to see Abe first. Abe urges Rafe to leave him and find his wife. Rafe promises that he will. Abe shouts for Rafe to find his wife as he begins to have a seizure and his monitors start beeping, causing the nurse to rush in and check on him. Afterwards, the nurse steps out of the room with Rafe and explains that the CT scan showed a brain bleed caused the seizure and they have to get Abe in to the operating room immediately. She notes that Abe obviously can’t sign the consent form so she asks if a family member can do it. Rafe says he’ll get in touch with one of his sons, so the nurse says to let her know when he does. Rafe then makes a call to get Theo’s number.

Nicole questions EJ being in love with her. EJ asks if it’s really that much of a revelation since they were in love and married before. Nicole says she remembers and has the battle scars to prove it. EJ assures it will be different this time. Nicole asks when it hit him that he felt this way. EJ admits he’s not sure but the past few months with her and Holly has been the happiest he’s been in a long time. EJ says they are a good fit, madly attracted to each other, and they make each other laugh. Nicole doesn’t know what to say. EJ suggests she say that she loves him too, if she does. Nicole responds that she does care about him. EJ takes that as she’s not in love with him. EJ guesses it’s still because of Eric Brady.

Melinda questions Sloan telling her that Jada’s sister somehow got involved with her brother. Eric asks how long she’s known about this. Sloan explains that she just found out when Jada let something slip while questioning her and then she got a call from her sister and rushed out. Sloan points out the unfairness of arresting her as an accessory while her own sister may be an accessory and is out running free. Sloan warns that it’s not a good look for the department. Sloan points out that Melinda could change the situation by making these bogus charges go away. Melinda decides that she’s heard enough to do that and tells Sloan that she’s free to go, but her brother is going to have to answer for what he did and so is Talia Hunter.

Jada and Talia find Colin with Paulina and Chanel on the rooftop. Jada tells Colin that it’s over and warns that she will pull her trigger if he doesn’t let Paulina go. Colin responds that he doesn’t give a damn what happens to him. Talia pleads with Colin to listen. Colin questions what she’s doing here and why she brought Jada, shouting that he trusted her. Talia cries that Colin promised her that this was over. Talia pleads with Colin to let Paulina go. Jada says Colin will listen to Talia if he cares about her at all. Jada warns that he doesn’t want to add murderer to his long list of crimes. Paulina begins having a panic attack while Colin holds her at gunpoint and he questions what is wrong with her.

Nicole tells EJ that Eric has nothing to do with the way that she feels about him. EJ asks if she’s sure as he would understand if sex with her ex husband rekindled her old feelings. Nicole assures that that was only because they were drugged, they were both embarrassed and have both moved on. Nicole says she thought they settled this. EJ questions what is keeping her from accepting his proposal then. Nicole states that the timing is just a bit off. EJ asks what exactly she means.

Melinda finishes a call as Sloan asks if she can go now. Melinda informs Sloan that Colin posed a health inspector and met with Paulina and Abe at the Bakery, where he attacked Abe with a blunt instrument and Abe is now in surgery. Melinda adds that Abe told Rafe that Colin has Paulina. Eric asks if Abe is going to make it. Melinda confirms that Rafe called an ambulance, so she hopes Abe will make it through this but nobody knows. Sloan calls this a nightmare. Melinda warns that she better hope that Jada can stop Colin before he causes any more damage tonight. Melinda advises Sloan to give up this stupid vendetta and tells her not to leave town as she then exits the station. Sloan asks Eric to get her out of here now, so they exit together.

Rafe calls Theo and encourages him that Abe can get the surgery and beat this. Rafe gives the phone to the doctor, so that Theo can give consent for Abe’s surgery. She tells Theo that if they operate now, Abe stands a chance at full recovery. She thanks him and asks Theo to sign the forms electronically when he gets them. Rafe thanks Theo and hangs up. Rafe asks the doctor to do everything she can to save Abe’s life as she goes to prepare for surgery. Rafe tries calling Jada again and leaves a message that he’s at the hospital with Abe and for her to call him when she gets the message. Rafe wonders what Colin is doing to Paulina.

Colin questions if Paulina is faking. Talia tries to explain the panic attack as it happened before. Paulina begins passing out. Chanel screams for Talia to help her. Jada tells Talia to stay back but Talia shouts that she’s a doctor and has to help. Colin argues that it could just be another stunt. Chanel screams that Paulina started having these attacks after Colin and Sloan started making her life miserable. Jada warns Colin to get under control as he’s in enough trouble as it is. Colin then grabs Chanel and holds her at gunpoint.

EJ questions why Nicole needs more time to decide how she feels about him. Nicole says he’s just taken her by surprise and admits she has been keeping him at arms length because things between them have had a way of not working out, but now he’s said something that changed everything so she needs a little time. EJ tells her to take as much time as she needs. EJ wants to make it clear that he’s in love with her and wants to spend the rest of his life with her and Holly. Nicole admits she did not see this coming. EJ tells her to get used to it as they kiss. EJ points out that it’s late, so she should get to bed. Nicole tells EJ to go upstairs and she’ll be right there. EJ tells her not to keep him waiting too long as they kiss and he then heads upstairs. Nicole says to herself that EJ loves her and wants to marry her but she can’t even think about that until she knows whether her baby is EJ’s or Eric’s.

Eric and Sloan walk through the town square. Eric wonders when they will hear word on Abe. Sloan wants to find Colin and try to convince him to give himself up. Eric wishes she would’ve trusted him enough to tell him that she saw Colin in town. Sloan apologizes and says Colin is the only family she has left, so she was just trying to protect him. Sloan admits she didn’t know how he’d react. Eric relates with his sister Sami, but he doesn’t understand how Sloan was enabling Colin to do the things that he was doing. Sloan swears that she had nothing to do with Colin harassing Paulina and Chanel. Eric says he believes her, but if they are going to stay together then there can be no more secrets between them. Sloan thinks back to discovering that Nicole is pregnant. Sloan then promises Eric no more secrets as she hugs him.

Rafe tries calling Jada again and says he still hasn’t heard from her while dispatch has no location for her. Rafe notes that Melinda said Jada went looking for her sister. Rafe wonders if Jada is in trouble and needs backup.

Jada screams for Colin to drop the gun. Chanel drops to the ground with Paulina as Talia then rushes Colin and begins fighting with Colin over the gun. Jada screams for Talia to take cover and let her do this. Jada and Chanel scream while Talia and Colin continue to struggle with each other for the gun. Talia and Colin then both end up falling over the ledge and off the roof of the building!

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Well, that was a fun day at the office. Yeah. My favorite part was getting to see EJ taking hiss anger management classes. I thought his vein was gonna pop the entire time. My favorite part was sensitivity training. I think I actually saw ejs soul leave his body. Oh really? I didn’t think he had a soul. Ah, touche.

Oh my God, I can’t believe this.

Gimme those prenatal vitamins. What are you doing with these? That stupid cow. Better keep her mouth shut.

Hello, darling.

Why are you asking about my brother? Brother? Is Colin Bedford correct? Yes. When was the last time you spoke to him? I left him a message this morning. He hasn’t gotten back to me. Any particular reason why you’re reaching out? He’s my brother. Isn’t that reason enough? What’s going on here? I mean, why are you so interested in son’s brother?

Well, we have reason to believe that he’s the one who’s been terrorizing Paulina and Chanel.

What, what is it? Talia, what did you wanna confess? Look, I haven’t been completely honest with you about my feelings. You’re having second thoughts about being with a woman, right? No, no, no. It, it’s nothing like that. Okay.

I don’t, I don’t know how to tell you. Just, just say it, whatever it is, we’ll work through it.

The only reason that I kissed you as sweet bits, and the only reason that I asked you out is because someone put me up to it. What? What? What do you mean someone put you up to it? Ooh,

my boyfriend.

You stay away from Abraham. You hear me? Get back. I didn’t wanna hurt your husband. But he was in the way. Oh, are you? What do you want? I’ll explain everything, but you have to come with me. Oh, hell no. Are you crazy? I’m not going anywhere with You. Wanna rethink that?

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

Look, I understand why he might suspect Sloan’s brother, but you were way off base. And why is that? Because for one thing, Colin isn’t even near Salem. That’s right. He’s not. As far as I know, well, you’re either lying to us or you’re misinformed because up until yesterday, he was right here in town staying at the White Dove Motel.

What? Yeah, he’s been renting a room there now for several weeks. You really expect us to believe that he hasn’t made contact with you

boyfriend. Yeah, the, the one that I told you about, the one from New York, Colin. Wait, I thought you said he was your ex. Yeah, I know what I said. Okay. But we’re still together. Okay. But if, if you’re still seeing him, then why would he want you to hook up with me? Oh wait. Is he looking for a threesome? Cuz been there, done that?

No, no. It, it’s noth, it’s nothing like that. Okay.

He wanted me to break your heart. What. Well, I don’t understand. Why would he wanna do something so cruel? I, I don’t even know him. I know you don’t, but he knows you.

He’s Sloan Peterson’s brother.

Bye. I will go with you, but first just let me call an ambulance for Abraham. Please, please. I promise I won’t say anything. I over the phone. No, but please. I said hand it over.

Good. Now let’s move. But, but about Abe, that that rolling pen could have seriously damaged his brain. Now he could die. He didn’t give a damn about my family. Why should I give a damn about yours? What your family, how would I know about your family? For heaven sake? What are you talking about? I just said I’ll explain everything.

Now. Let’s go Rob Abraham. I love him. Sorry, I have to leave you, but. Please hang you. That’s go please you taking that baby. Okay. I love you.

Can everything okay? Yeah. It’s just a surprise, a good one. I hope. It’s my divorce papers from Lee. Look like. Yeah, it looks like he already signed them. That was fast. I mean, he said he wouldn’t fight it. I wasn’t so sure. But, um, how does it look? Everything on the up and up? Yeah. Everything looks good so far.

I mean, my lawyer still has to look it over, but I mean, once I sign it and have them filed, I’m a free woman. Not for long. What’s that face? What. What are you up to? Well, I was going to wait until, uh, we were in a more romantic setting, but, um, I’m seeing you like this. Happy with a little smile on your face.

I, uh, couldn’t think of a more first perfect time. Stephen, are you.

Gabriela Hernandez, I love you more than anything on the planet, and I wanna spend the rest of my life with you. So will you please once again do me the honor of becoming my wife.

This is, uh, nothing. Just, uh, some medication that Kayla prescribed to me. Oh, right. Yes. For your condition, condition, you make it sound like I’m dying. Sorry. I I I know it’s not a big deal. No, it’s not a big deal. Every woman goes through menopause and I think it’s sexist as hell that men think a, a woman is for the hill.

When she’s in it and fyi, I am not. You’re not. Then why did you say that you were?

I’ll ask you again, Sloan. Have you made any contact with your brother? Look, even if he were in town, it doesn’t mean he is the one going after Paulina and Chanel. Well, he certainly has motive. What do you have? Do you have any actual evidence to implicate him? Mm. You know it’s an ongoing investigation. In other words, a witch hunt.

Erica, let’s go. They’ve wasted enough of our time. Sloane, I know you want to protect your brother. Trust me. I get it. But you’re not doing him any favors by covering up for him. Well, maybe she’s also covering for herself. She’s been working with Colin all along. No. What? You clearly know more than you letting on son what Kip is responsible for any of these crimes.

You didn’t do yourself a favor and tell the truth if anything worse happens.

Truth. Truth is person who’s been committing these crimes. Against Pauline and Chanel. It is my brother. He’s calling.

You need to let me go. Nah, I don’t think so. I’m sure somebody saw you force me to walk over here. They’re going to call the police. That alleyway was deserted and we came up the back entrance. Now, sit down. Look, listen Colin, I don’t care what you do to me, but please send Abraham some help. Dear God. Let’s give him a fighting chance.

I bang of you. We don’t have time for that. Have a lot to accomplish tonight. Accomplish, what does that mean?

I wanna show you something.

Your boyfriend, Sloan Peterson’s brother. Yeah. So, so, so that means that he’s Nathan and Martha’s son. Yeah. Look, he’s so traumatized about what happened. Okay? He blames you for his parents’ death, just like his sister does. But while SONG was pursuing legal avenues to get back to you, Colin had his own plan and it involved us moving here to Salem.

So when you applied for the job at the bakery, you knew who I was.

Kyle had already told me all about DJ and one of his friends words For me to get PU you so you can lead me on and break my heart. Yes. But that wasn’t his only goal. Oh my God. He’s the one who’s been harassing mama and me. And you, you were helping him.

Oh my God. I was not expecting this. I mean, I thought at some point we would get married again, but Well, if you think it’s too soon, we can pump the brakes. No, no, no, no, no, no. Of course not. I just, I didn’t think this was even on your radar. Are you kidding me? Ever since I got outta Rose Spell, it’s all I’ve been dreaming about.

And I found out you had that contract with Lee to stay married. I mean, you were the one that told me to stick with it for those stupid Demer shares. I know. And that was my mistake. I admit that. And now I realize that no shares nothing is worth not being able to hug you. To kiss you, to make love to you again.

And now we are so close to where we were before we got torn apart, except we’re not husband and wife. So are you gonna leave me down here on bending me all day? You gonna gimme an answer? Yes. Yes. A times, yes, of course. Yes. I’ll marry you. Oh my gosh.

Oh my God. What I meant was I met in perimenopause, not menopause. Okay. It’s the early stages isn’t, not practically the same thing. No. It’s your friends and why are you making such a big deal out of it? Wow. I’m, I’m, I’m sorry. I didn’t know this was such a touchy subject for you. Well, yeah, because of people’s attitudes about it, especially men, like I said, it’s pretty misogynistic.

Don’t you think? Let’s make it sound like women can’t have babies anymore, so we should put ’em out to pasture.

The only place I would put you is in my bed for a good old fashioned. Ravishing, might you be interested? Mm, I suppose

I just saw you numb. I find you incredibly desirable. In fact, I don’t think you’ve ever looked sexy yet.

How long have you known it was your brother? I only found out yesterday. I swear it, I, I overheard you and Dana speaking at the stations. Something about a shifty guy named Colin speaking in a British accent kind of just fell into place for me, which is when I went to the motel to confront him. You admitted to everything.

Yeah. He’s determined to avenge our parents, especially after the legal system failed us. But he didn’t want me to know, you know, he knew I would. Disapprove and try to talk him out of it, which I did. And that’s when I told him to leave town immediately and otherwise I was gonna turn him in. Did he say if he was working alone?

I mean, I assumed he was. He didn’t mention anybody else. Where’s Colin now? I don’t know. Didn’t you say something about, I don’t know, he checked out of his motel. Where did he go? Did he go back to New York or London? He didn’t say Uhhuh won’t put out an A p B. Hopefully he hasn’t gotten too far. In the meantime, we’ll settle for you.

Oh,

you recognize the family. I don’t need to. You are Nathan and Bedford son. Sloan’s baby brother. How’d you figure it out? Once I had the chance to think clearly, it wasn’t so hard to put it together, especially considering you got so prickly about the sweet bits when we had that talk about the incident in London.

So tell me, have you been, you’ve been working with Sloan this whole time? No, my sister has nothing to do with this. This is all my plan. Look, oh, Colin. Now you know, I think I know you. You must have been traumatized. You know about your parents. Yo, your mother’s death. It was a terrible tragedy, but it’s not what you think.

I swear. Stop. Just shut up. Right? Just let me explain. I’ve heard your side of this story. Now it’s time. You,

your sister suspected this. She thought you were the one behind all the terrible things that have happened, and she was right. You have been working with Colin this whole time. Admit it. Yes, it’s true. Okay. And and Sloan was in on it? No, no, no. It, it was just me and Colin. Oh. But he just let his sister take the blame.

She’s a good lawyer. He figured that she’d exonerate herself. Right, right, right, right. So, well, we were all ready to torch Sloan at the stake. You guys were able to just fly under the radar. You broke into mama’s office and you sent those threatening messages. She started having panic attacks because of you.

Listen minute, it was supposed to happen. Okay? Nobody was supposed to get seriously, or I swear, Chanel. They were just supposed to be harmless breaks, was spiking those biscuits, harmless. Talia, you’re a damn doctor. You know that Those were just some pranks. Someone could have died, but they didn’t. Look, we only had sit there for your business to get shot only.

Only you knew how much that place meant to me, how hard I’ve worked for it. I thought you were my friend. I, I thought that you were more than a friend.

How could you do this to me?

Ugh. Ew. Gross. Oh, very mature. Gabriela. Very mature. You know what? I apologize. Everybody deserves love in their lives, even You too. Yeah. She’s up to something. Mm-hmm. I swear if you sent way Shin, another glowing review of stepping from my computer. No, no, no. Don’t worry. Your reviews are about to become moot.

See? No one’s gonna care about either of your opinions anymore, especially once they see what we’ve cooked up. Oh, what are you rambling on about now? I think we should tell ’em. Tell us what? Stephanie and I are engaged. We are, and once we’re married, we’re gonna run the family company together as Mr. And Mrs.

Tamara.

Okay. What are you talking about? I just told you I have nothing to do with my brother’s crimes except you admitted that you knew about them and advised him to flee, which makes you. An accessory after the fact, right? Well, I just handed you your entire case, so I thought you would cut me a break and you damn well should Sloane cooperated.

She told you everything. She knew that she had to be determined and I still have a lot more questions to ask her, which she can answer down at the station. Besides. Once Colin hears that she’s been arrested, maybe he’ll come forward. Take responsibility. Wait, this isn’t necessary. She said she would turn Colin in if he did anything else.

Sloane Peterson, you are under arrest. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used in a court of law against you. You have a right to have a lawyer with you during questioning. If you cannot afford a lawyer, one will be appointed for you.

That photo was taken in Barcelona. Yeah, we were on a family holiday and Sloan had just come back from law school. She was on a break. I was a tad cheesed off. I had to be away from my mates. I, oh, we’re still pretty mighty when we came across this, uh, this huge fountain.

They were musicians playing nearby. My dad just, we grabbed my mom and he started dancing. By the end of the song, they were in the middle of the founding laughing, splashing around. You know, I was, I was embarrassed. But that is how they were my parents deeply enough, which is how I know that you and your daughter are lying.

That’s a, a beautiful memory, but take it from someone who’s lived a lot longer than you. Relationships they change. People change now, not my parents. The love they had was real. We had a real family until you come along, you were raised it. You rewrote our story when you coming up your daughter’s crimes. I suddenly went from having two loving parents.

A suicidal mother and a predatory dad. Your father was a predator. He took advantage of a young girl. Here you go. Just distorting the truth again. That young girl, she sted him. She lured him into having an affair. Rich by the way. He deeply regretted, but she was relentless. She was ruthless. Oh, and, and by the way, a cold bloody murderer.

Now, now it’s time as Chanel. Guess exactly what she deserves. What do you, what do you mean? What did you do to my daughter? I’m worry. She’s not in any immediate danger. How about you?

Oh. My God, you’ve been playing me this whole time pretending to be my friend, pretending to be interested in me. No, Chanel please. You have to understand, okay, Colin convinced me that you were this awful monster that tried to seduce his father and killed his mother. That’s not what happened. I know that now.

Okay. When I heard your side of the story, trust me, I started to have my doubts, especially when I got to know you. I couldn’t imagine how someone so kind could do something so evil, but that didn’t stop. You did it. No. You just kept going along with Colin’s twisted schemes. Because, okay. He convinced me that he couldn’t live without getting justice for his parents.

Okay. Chanel, I love him. How? How could you love someone like that? Someone who would set out to destroy people’s lives? I don’t know. I thought he was justified. Somehow, no. No. There is no way to justify what he did. He is a freaking psycho. And for you, so now I’m sorry. I already hear it. Just get out. I said get out now.

I never wanna see you again.

You know, as much as I loved our first wedding, Stephen, small, intimate, I think, I think we should go big for this one. Invite everybody we know, including all major players at Damer. Of course, I agree. Prove to everybody we’re a true power couple. Actually, it will prove to them that you’re a fool, Stephan, that you fell prey to this gold diggers lies yet.

Oh, it’s again, wow. Ignore my brother. He just can’t stand to see us. Happy. No. Thank you. Mm. That’s new. I’ve never seen you. Pass up a drink. Oh, well that’s because it don’t feel like celebrating your un holly Union. That makes two of us. Well, Gabby, more champagne for us. Let’s ditch these. Debbie Downers, shall we?

Mm-hmm.

Oh,

take a seat. Come on, Judy. You know, she doesn’t deserve anymore. Jail over this. That’ll be up to the DA to decide if she wants to press charges. But in the meantime, I need to do my job. So if you can please step outside. You can’t question her without a lawyer. I know how this works here. It’s okay, Eric, but thank you.

I, I’ve got this. Okay. I’ll be right outside this door if you need anything.

I am glad you decided to cooperate. Not that it’s done May much good so far. Wolf, you help us find your brother, then I’m sure it’ll help your case. So let’s start from the beginning.

Maybe you can do something about this. First,

I’m ordering all units to be on the lookout for Colin Bedford. If anyone sees or hears anything, hit me immediately.

Hey Abe, what’s up? I, you need help. Hey, what’s happening? Where are you? Oh, I was attacked. Sweet, sweet pets. I’m on my way. Caller, we need to talk.

Where are you?

It’s cold up here. I forgot my scarf. Yeah, he won’t be needing it. It’s ain’t gonna take long. Why did you bring us up here? You were blowing so much hot air back in a room. We can both breathe fair air, can’t we? Oh, you realized that you couldn’t fire your gun in the room cause everybody could hear you.

You, you brought us up here to shoot me. Am I right?

Oh my God. I have to warn Mama.

Mama, I, I have something important to tell you. Uh, I finally figured out who’s been harassing us. It’s Talia and, and she’s working with Stone’s brother. His name is Colin. Nice to meet you. Chanel. What the hell did you do with mama? She’s fine,

but if you want her to stay that way, you’re gonna have to follow my instructions very carefully.

As much as I enjoyed rubbing our good news in EJ and Nicole’s faces, I’m glad it’s just the two of us again, you know, that’s I, I just wanna be surrounded by happy vibes right now. Me too. To our second marriage, may it be filled with as much laughter. And love unless death than the first. I will drink to that, right?

Ooh. Oh, oops. Oh no. Can’t let that champagne go to, oh no. You know what, actually I think. Think you missed the spot. Oh, that looks like I did

conniving. Bitch. Did it again.

Are you gonna drink yours? No. If you have it.

Not that it’s a surprise that she managed to warm her way back in the family. Yeah, and, and now she and Stephan are gonna use their wedding to bolster their image at the company.

Or maybe, or maybe will steal their thunder, upstage them. How?

Nicole Walker, will you marrying me?

Hey, what happened? Are you all right? Yeah. Ena help. Help her. Help. Help a yeah.

Mama Chanel for just in time.

So the last time you saw Colin was yesterday afternoon at the motel? Yes. After he promised me he was gonna leave town. Did he give any indication of where he would be going next? We’ve already been over this. Okay. I dunno where he is.

Drop the attitude. Sloan, if you would’ve turned your brother in right away, you wouldn’t even be in this mess. But instead, your psychotic brother is out on the loose and who knows what he’ll do next. He’s not dangerous. Okay. You don’t know him. I know him well enough to know that he somehow convinced my sister to do his little dirty work.

That makes him dangerous enough for me. Your sister, what are you talking about?

Call number one, everything. This hope. Don’t hate this.

What’s up? This is Paul Scarf. What is he doing here?

Stay away from my mom. Stay back. Do what he says, baby girl. Everything. It’ll be all right. You know, Chanel. I’m glad you called. I haven’t initially thought of inviting you to this party, but Well, I’m delighted that you showed up. Yeah, yeah. This has all worked out perfectly. What are you gonna do? You two bitches went to great lengths to make the world believe that my mom threw herself off the side of a building and now, The story’s gonna come full circle.

No, say goodbye to your mom. Chanel. She’s about to jump to her death.

Days of Our Lives Update

Days of Our Lives logo

Update written by Joseph

Stefan and Gabi return to their room, commenting on their day at work and joking about EJ’s anger management classes and sensitivity training. Gabi opens an envelope from the mail and says she can’t believe this.

Nicole enters the living room of the DiMera Mansion and pours a glass of water to take her pre-natal vitamins with. Nicole thinks back to running in to Sloan at the hospital and remarks that she better keep her mouth shut. EJ then walks in and greets her, then asks what the vitamins are for.

Sloan questions Rafe and Jada wanting to talk about her brother. Rafe identifies him as Colin Bedford while Jada asks when Sloan last spoke to him. Sloan responds that she left him a message this morning but he hasn’t gotten back to her. Jada asks if there was any particular reason she was reaching out. Sloan questions if being her brother is not reason enough. Eric asks what’s going on here and why they are so interested in Sloan’s brother. Rafe explains that they have reason to believe that he is the one who has been terrorizing Paulina and Chanel.

Chanel asks what Talia wants to confess. Talia responds that she hasn’t been completely honest with her about her feelings. Chanel guesses Talia is having second thoughts about being with a woman. Talia says it’s nothing like that but she doesn’t know how to tell her. Chanel says they will work through whatever it is. Talia then reveals that the only reason she kissed her and asked her out is because someone put her up to it. Chanel questions what she means and who it was. Talia admits it was her boyfriend.

Paulina shouts at Colin to stay away from Abe. Colin argues that he didn’t want to hurt Abe but he got in the way. Paulina questions who he is and what he wants. Colin says he will explain everything but she has to come with him. Paulina calls him crazy and says she’s not going anywhere with him. Colin then pulls a gun and warns that she might want to rethink that.

Eric understands why they might suspect Sloan’s brother but says they are way off base because Colin isn’t anywhere near Salem. Sloan agrees that he’s not as far as she knows. Jada responds that they are either lying to them or misinformed, because up until yesterday, he was right here in town and staying at the White Dove Motel. Rafe adds that Colin has been renting a room there for several weeks and questions Sloan expecting them to believe that he hasn’t made contact with her.

Chanel questions Talia about her boyfriend. Talia says it’s the one from New York that she told him about, Colin. Chanel thought she said that was her ex. Talia knows what she said but reveals they are still together. Chanel questions if they are still together then why he would want her to hook up with her. Chanel asks if he’s looking for a threesome but Talia says it’s nothing like that. Talia reveals that he wanted her to break Chanel’s heart. Chanel doesn’t understand why he’d want to do something so cruel when she doesn’t even know him. Talia responds that she doesn’t, but he knows her. Talia then reveals that he is Sloan’s brother which shocks Chanel.

Paulina agrees to go with Colin but asks to call an ambulance for Abe first. Colin demands she hand over her phone, so she does. Paulina asks about Abe and worries that he could die. Colin remarks that she didn’t give a damn about his family and asks why he should give a damn about her family. Paulina questions how she would know his family and what he’s talking about. Colin repeats that he will explain everything. Paulina cries that she’s sorry she has to leave Abe as Colin forces her out of the bakery.

Stefan asks Gabi if everything is okay. Gabi says she’s just surprised as it’s her divorce papers from Li and it looks like he already signed them. Stefan notes that was fast. Gabi wasn’t sure that he wouldn’t fight it. Stefan asks how it looks. Gabi says her lawyer still has to look it over but once she signs it and has it filed, she’s a free woman. Stefan says not for long. Gabi asks what he’s up to. Stefan says he was going to wait until they were in a more romantic setting, but after seeing her happy like this, he couldn’t think of a more perfect time. Stefan tells Gabi that he loves her more than anything on the planet and wants to spend the rest of his life with her. Stefan gets down on one knee and asks Gabi to again do him the honor of becoming his wife.

Nicole claims to EJ that she was just taking some medication that Kayla prescribed to her. EJ remembers her condition while Nicole remarks that he makes it sound like she’s dying. EJ calls it no big deal. Nicole agrees and argues that it’s sexist for men to think women are over the hill when they are in menopause which Nicole says she is not, so EJ questions why she said she was.

Rafe asks Sloan again if she’s made any contact with her brother. Sloan says even if he was in town, it doesn’t mean he is the one going after Paulina and Chanel. Rafe points out that he certainly has motive. Sloan angrily questions if they have any actual evidence to implicate him. Rafe calls it an ongoing investigation. Sloan calls it a witch hunt. Sloan tells Eric that they’ve wasted enough of their time. Jada knows she wants to protect her brother, but warns that she’s not doing him any favors by covering up for him. Rafe suggests maybe Sloan is also covering herself and she’s been working with Colin all along. Sloan denies that but Jada says she clearly knows more than she’s letting on. Eric advises Sloan to tell the truth if Colin is responsible, before anything worse happens. Sloan then breaks down crying and admits it was Colin who committed the crimes against Paulina and Chanel.

Colin brings Paulina to his hotel room. Paulina tells him to let her go but Colin refuses. Paulina says she’s sure someone saw him force her to walk over here so they are going to call the police. Colin insists that it was deserted and they came in the back entrance. Paulina pleads with him to send Abe some help to give him a fighting chance. Colin says they don’t have time for that as he has a lot to accomplish tonight. Paulina questions what that means. Colin says he wants to show her something.

Chanel questions Talia’s boyfriend being Sloan’s brother which means he is Nathan and Martha’s son. Talia confirms that is true and explains that Colin is still traumatized by what happened and blames Chanel for his parents’ death. Talia adds that while Sloan was pursuing legal action to get back at her, Colin had this whole plan. Chanel realizes that Talia knew who she was when she signed up for the bakery. Talia admits that one of Colin’s plans was for her to get close to her, so she could lead her on and break her heart. Talia adds that it wasn’t Colin’s only goal. Chanel realizes that Colin is the one who has been harassing her and Paulina, and that Talia was helping him.

Gabi tells Stefan that she was not expecting this. Stefan says they can pump the brakes if it’s too soon. Gabi says she just didn’t think it was on their radar. Stefan says it has been ever since he got out from Dr. Rolf’s spell but she was under Li’s contract. Stefan realizes that no DiMera Shares or anything are worth not being able to hug, kiss, and make love to her again. Stefan declares that now they are so close to where they were when they got torn apart. Stefan jokes that he’s still waiting for an answer. Gabi agrees to marry him and accepts his proposal as they kiss.

Nicole claims to EJ that she meant that she’s only in the early stages of menopause. EJ asks if they aren’t the same thing. Nicole insists that they are different and questions EJ making a big deal out of it. EJ apologizes as he didn’t know it was such a touchy subject for her. Nicole complains that it’s because of men’s attitudes about it. EJ kisses her and suggests they head to the bedroom. EJ adds that he still finds her incredibly desirable and says she’s never looked sexier as they kiss.

Rafe asks Sloan how long she has known it was her brother. Sloan swears that she just found out yesterday when she overheard them talking at the station about a shifty guy named Colin with a British accent, so it sort of fell in to place for her. Sloan admits she went to the motel to confront him. Rafe asks if Colin admitting everything. Sloan confirms that Colin was determined to get justice for their parents after the legal system failed them, but he didn’t want her to know because he knew she would try to talk him out of it, which she did, and that’s when she told him to leave town immediately or else she would turn him in. Jada asks if he said he was working alone. Sloan says she assumed he was because he didn’t mention anyone else. Rafe asks where Colin is now. Sloan doesn’t know since he checked out of the motel. Jada asks if he went back to New York or London. Sloan admits he didn’t say. Rafe decides they will put out an APB and hope he didn’t get in far. Rafe adds that in the meantime, they will settle for Sloan.

Abe starts to regain consciousness on the floor of the Bakery.

Colin shows Paulina a family photo. Paulina realizes he is Nathan and Martha’s son and Sloan’s baby brother. Paulina asks if he’s been working with Sloan this whole time. Colin says Sloan has nothing to do with this and this was all his plan. Paulina understands he must have been traumatized by what happened to his parents and calls it a terrible tragedy but swears it’s not what he thinks. Colin tells her to shut up . Paulina wants to explain. Colin argues that he’s heard her side of the story, now it’s time that she hears his.

Chanel argues that Jada suspected this and she was right that Talia was working with Colin this whole time. Talia cries that it’s true. Chanel asks if Sloan was in on it but Talia says it was just her and Colin. Chanel questions letting Sloan take the blame. Talia explains that she’s a lawyer, so they figured she would exonerate herself. Chanel argues that they were all ready to torch Sloan at the stake while they flew under the radar. Chanel realizes Talia broke in to Paulina’s office and shouts that she is the reason that Paulina started having panic attacks. Talia cries that it wasn’t supposed to happen and swears nobody was supposed to get seriously hurt. Chanel argues that someone could’ve died. Talia cries that it was only supposed to hurt her business. Chanel talks about what the Bakery meant to her and how much she worked for it. Chanel thought Talia was a friend and more than that as she questions how Talia could do this to her.

Stefan and Gabi walk in to the living room, interrupting EJ and Nicole kissing. Gabi remarks that everyone deserves love in their life, including them. Nicole guesses she’s up to something and complains about their performance reviews. Stefan says no one will care when they see what they cooked up. Gabi announces that they are engaged. Stefan declares that once they are married, they are going to run the company together as Mr. & Mrs. DiMera.

Sloan complains to Rafe and Jada that she just told them that she had nothing to do with Colin’s crimes. Rafe points out that she knew about it and told him to flee, which makes her an accessory after the fact. Sloan argues that she just handed them their entire case so she thought they would cut her a break. Eric agrees that they should since Sloan cooperated and told them everything that she knew. Jada says that’s to be determined and she has a lot more questions that Sloan can answer at the police station. Rafe adds that maybe if Colin hears that Sloan has been arrested, he’ll come forward and take responsibility. Eric calls this unnecessary since Sloan said she would turn Colin in if he did anything else. Jada reads Sloan her rights and officially arrests her.

Colin shows Paulina more photos from his family photo album and tells a story of a family vacation together. Colin says his parents were deeply in love which is how he knows that Paulina and Chanel are lying. Paulina argues that relationships and people change. Colin says not his parents because their love was real and they had a real family until Paulina came along and erased it. Colin shouts that Paulina rewrote their story when she covered up Chanel’s crimes as he suddenly went from having two loving parents to a suicidal mother and a predatory dad. Paulina argues that his father was a predator who took advantage of a young girl. Colin accuses her of distorting the truth again. Colin argues that Chanel seduced his father and lured him in to an affair which he deeply regretted but Chanel was ruthless and a cold blooded murder. Colin declares that now it’s time that Chanel gets exactly what she deserves. Paulina questions what he means and what he did to her daughter. Colin tells her not to worry as Chanel is not in any immediate danger, unlike her.

Chanel realizes Talia has been playing her this whole time and pretending to be her friend and interested in her. Talia tells her that she has to understand that Colin convinced her that she was an awful monster who killed his mother and seduced his father. Chanel says that’s not what happened. Talia cries that she knows that now and when she heard Chanel’s side of the story, she started having doubts as she couldn’t imagine someone so kind doing something so evil. Chanel points out that it didn’t stop her and she kept going on with Colin’s twisted schemes. Talia cries that Colin convinced her that he couldn’t live without getting justice for his parents and she loves him. Chanel questions how she could love someone who would set out to destroy people’s lives. Talia thought he was justified somehow. Chanel argues that there is no way to justify what he did. Chanel calls Colin a psycho and says Talia is one too. Chanel screams at Talia to get out and says she never wants to see her again. Talia then exits in tears as Chanel breaks down crying.

Gabi tells Stefan that they should go big for their second wedding and invite everyone from DiMera. Stefan agrees and says they will prove to be a true power couple. EJ argues that it will only prove that Stefan is a fool for falling for a gold digger. Stefan says that EJ just can’t stand to see them happy. Stefan offers champagne to celebrate which Nicole turns down. Gabi comments on never seeing Nicole turn down a drink. Nicole responds that she doesn’t want to celebrate their unholy union. EJ says that makes two of them. Stefan decides that’s more champagne for them. Stefan then takes the bottle with them as he and Gabi exit the room.

Jada brings Sloan to the interrogation room at the police station. Eric argues that she knows Sloan doesn’t deserve to be arrested. Jada responds that it will be up to the district attorney if she wants to press charges. Jada says she has to do her job so she asks Eric to step out. Eric argues that she can’t question Sloan without a lawyer. Jada says she knows how it works. Sloan tells Eric that it’s okay and she’s got this. Eric tells her that he will be right outside the door if she needs anything. Jada is glad Sloan decided to cooperate. Sloan points out that it hasn’t done her much good so far. Jada says it will help her case if they find Colin. Jada asks Sloan to start from the beginning. Sloan asks for the handcuffs to be removed first.

Rafe stands outside the Pub and calls for an APB out on Colin Bedford and if anyone sees or hears anything, to call him immediately. Rafe then gets a call from Abe, who says he needs help. Rafe asks what’s happening and where he is. Abe reveals that he was attacked at the bakery. Rafe says he’s on his way and rushes off.

Talia goes to Colin’s hotel room and says they need to talk but finds the room is empty. Talia finds his family photo album on the bed and wonders where he is.

Colin brings Paulina to a rooftop and says this won’t take long. Paulina asks why he brought her here. Paulina guesses he realized he couldn’t fire his gun in the room because everyone would hear and asks if he brought her up here to shoot her.

Chanel realizes that she has to warn Paulina and tries calling her. Chanel says that she has something important to tell her and that she finally figured out who was harassing them. Colin is revealed to have answered Paulina’s phone and he tells Chanel that it’s nice to meet her. Chanel questions what the hell he did with Paulina. Colin responds that she’s fine, but if she wants her to stay that way, she will have to follow his instructions very carefully.

Gabi tells Stefan that she enjoyed rubbing their news in EJ and Nicole’s faces, but she’s glad it’s just the two of them now as she just wants to be surrounded by happy vibes. Stefan toasts to their second marriage being filled with as much laughter, love, and less death than the first as they kiss in bed.

EJ complains to Nicole that it’s no surprise that Gabi managed to worm her way back in to the family. Nicole knows they are going to use their wedding to bolster their image at the company. EJ then suggests maybe they will steal their thunder and upstage them. Nicole asks how, so EJ gets down on one knee and proposes to Nicole.

Rafe bursts in to the Bakery and finds Abe recovering on the floor. Rafe asks what happened and if he’s alright. Abe tells Rafe to help Paulina.

Chanel comes to the rooftop where Colin is holding his gun on Paulina. Colin says she is just in time.

Sloan tells Jada that the last time she saw Colin was yesterday afternoon at the motel after he promised her that he was going to leave town. Jada asks if he gave any indication of where he was going next. Sloan complains that they’ve already been over that she doesn’t know where he is. Jada warns her to drop the attitude and says if she would’ve just turned her brother in then she wouldn’t be in this mess but now her psychotic brother is on the loose and who knows what he’ll do next. Sloan argues that he’s not dangerous and that Jada doesn’t know him. Jada responds that she knows him well enough to know that he somehow convinced her sister to do his dirty work and that makes him dangerous enough to her. Sloan questions what she is talking about.

Talia cries that she’s ruined everything and hopes Colin doesn’t hate her for this. Talia pulls out her phone but then notices Paulina’s scarf on the floor. Talia recognizes it as Paulina’s and wonders what it is doing here.

Chanel screams at Colin to stay away from her mom while Colin warns her to stay back. Paulina tells Chanel to do what he says. Colin says he’s delighted that Chanel showed up as this has all worked out perfectly. Chanel asks what he’s going to do. Colin complains that they went to great lengths to make the world believe that his mom threw herself off of a building so now the story is about to come full circle. Colin tells Chanel to say goodbye to her mom, because she’s about to jump to her death as he holds her at gunpoint.

Days of Our Lives Update

Update written by Joseph

Belle confronts Eric at the Brady Pub and questions what the hell is wrong with him as she just talked to Brady, who said that Eric and Sloan are getting serious. Belle asks if Eric is actually getting in to a relationship with that bitch.

Sloan bumps in to Nicole at the hospital and questions what she is doing with pre-natal vitamins. Nicole claims she must have grabbed the wrong kind. Sloan figured it was something like that because Eric just told her that her child bearing days are over because she had started menopause.

Chanel tells Talia that she’s glad she stopped by because she’s been thinking about her. Talia says she’s been thinking about her too. Chanel says this is about something else as she heard Jada accused her of a crime and thinks that she is the one coming after her.

Rafe and Jada find out that Colin does have a record after all and that his last name is not Firth.

Paulina and Abe go to the Bakery to meet the health inspector which turns out to be Colin pretending to be the inspector, claiming his name is Cameron Fry. Paulina thanks him and Abe says he’s relieved someone met with them. Paulina says Chanel can’t wait to reopen the Bakery. Colin remarks that there shouldn’t be a problem and he will take care of her daughter..

Rafe and Jada find out that Colin’s name is Colin Bedford and he was booked on assault charges five years ago. Jada says too bad the database only has his arrest and not if he went to trial or did any time. Rafe knows he heard that name before and tells Jada that she’ll never believe where.

Paulina assures that there won’t be anything to find in the Bakery and that Chanel was beside herself. Paulina and Abe talk about how Chanel is making sure that no one ever tampers with her product again. They talk about not letting Chanel know that this inspection was taking place but Abe suggests they should since she is the one who knows the place inside and out. Colin says that won’t be necessary as he’s confident he can find everything and right now prefers to just deal with them.

Talia questions how Chanel found out about Jada accusing her of drugging the biscuits. Chanel informs her that Paulina told her as they were talking about how there weren’t any other suspects but Sloan. Talia remarks that she just doesn’t understand why Jada would think it was her. Chanel guesses there was something off about her story but assures that Paulina doesn’t believe it as she knows Talia would never do anything to hurt her and so does she.

Eric informs Belle that Brady is right. Belle questions it not bothering him that Sloan has caused so much misery since coming to town and accuses her of drugging the biscuits. Eric asks if she has any proof. Belle admits she doesn’t yet because Sloan is an expert at covering her tracks, but argues that Sloan is also threatening Paulina. Belle shows Eric the threatening text messages. Eric asks how Belle knows that Sloan sent them. Belle admits that she doesn’t as Eric points out that she can’t prove that either. Belle asks if Eric is just turning his back while Sloan escalates her crazy plan. Eric says he’s not as he’s investigating this every way he can and believes Sloan has had nothing to do with Paulina since the civil suit was thrown out. Belle asks if it wasn’t Sloan then who was it. Eric responds that he doesn’t know because it’s not his job to play investigator. Marlena enters the Pub and sees them arguing. Belle questions Eric just taking Sloan at her word and remarks that she used to think he wasn’t gullible but stops and says she’s too polite to say anything. Eric shouts that he’s not too polite and he’s tired of being badgered and insulted. Marlena interrupts and tells them to stop this right now.

Sloan questions Nicole being up in arms over a bottle of vitamins. Nicole calls it none of her business. Sloan argues that she couldn’t have picked up the wrong kind since they are prescription. Nicole claims there was a lady in front of her line so maybe they gave hers to her by mistake. Sloan informs her that she saw Nicole’s name on the label so the vitamins were prescribed for her which means the only change of life she’s going through is being pregnant. Sloan questions why Nicole would tell Eric that she’s going through menopause and asks if he’s the baby daddy. Nicole tells Sloan that she’s wrong. Sloan reminds Nicole that she walked in on them right after they slept together. Nicole blames the tainted biscuits. Sloan calls her a piece of work. Sloan brings up that Nicole convinced Jada to get an abortion by asking if she really wanted to be tied to a man that was with another woman. Nicole argues that this situation isn’t the same as this one. Sloan argues that other women have to get abortions when they get pregnant with Eric’s baby but not her. Sloan accuses Nicole of being so desperate to get Eric back that she had to trick him in to knocking her up. Nicole then reveals that she doesn’t even know if the baby is Eric’s.

Marlena tells Eric and Belle that she could hear them bickering from down the block and asks what they are fighting about. Marlena then guesses it’s about Sloan. Belle confirms that and complains that Brady just told her that Eric and Sloan are a couple. Marlena asks so what. Belle questions her reaction. Marlena states that she doesn’t like Sloan any more than Belle does, but Eric is a grown man. Eric thanks her but Marlena warns that she’s not done yet. Marlena says when she came back alive, she found them at each others’ throats. Marlena reminds them that she asked them to put their differences aside but they couldn’t do that, so this is what she walks in to. Belle argues that she doesn’t understand. Marlena complains that life is too short for her to be playing referee to two adults behaving like children. Marlena would’ve thought that after all they’ve been through, they’d be happy to be together, alive, and a family. Belle remarks that she has made her feel terrible. Marlena wants to talk sense in to her. Marlena tells Belle that she knows she’s having a hard time with Shawn but not to take it out on her brother. Eric asks if she came in for a reason or just because she heard them arguing. Marlena informs him that she came to have lunch and to enjoy herself, but she’s lost her appetite so maybe she’ll just get back to the hospital where people really need her help. Marlena then walks back out of the Pub.

Chanel questions Talia as to why her own sister would turn on her like that. Talia says that Jada is just frustrated as she really wants to nail the person who did this to her. Chanel insists that it wasn’t Talia and remembers Talia’s first day at work and how she loves her work so she would never sabotage it. Talia states that Jada just has a job to do and she thought she caught her in a lie, so she followed up on it. Chanel can’t believe how nice she’s being about this. Talia says it’s over now, so it doesn’t matter. Chanel talks about how sweet and forgiving Talia is and kisses her.

Rafe reveals to Jada that he went back over Sloan’s mother’s case and her married name was Martha Bedford. Jada questions why Sloan’s name is Peterson and asks if she’s married. Rafe explains that Sloan just didn’t want to alert Paulina that she was coming to town, so she used her mother’s maiden name. Jada asks if this means Colin is related to Sloan. Rafe confirms that Martha Bedford had two children and the other one was a son.

Colin continues pretending to inspect the Bakery and tells Paulina and Abe that whoever drugged the biscuits have been able to stay one step ahead of the cops. Paulina argues that they know who it was, but haven’t been able to prove it. Paulina insists that it was Sloan and that she’s been after her and her family for no good reason. Colin remarks that he heard it was for quite a good reason.

Chanel tells Talia that she doesn’t want to assume anything but since they are here alone, she asks about going to her bedroom so they won’t be interrupted if Paulina and Abe come back. Chanel adds that if Talia doesn’t want that, they can stay right here. Talia thinks back to planning things with Colin. Talia then tells Chanel that she doesn’t want to get interrupted either, so they head to Chanel’s bedroom.

Rafe tells Jada that Colin has to be Sloan’s brother and that’s why he used a different name. Jada says he sure didn’t like her showing up at the motel. Rafe adds that Colin has to be the one going after Paulina and Chanel while Jada adds that he’s been using Talia to do it. They conclude that they couldn’t pin the biscuits on Talia because she had no motive, but her boyfriend did.

Paulina questions Colin saying he heard Sloan was after them for a good reason and what reason that is. Colin claims he didn’t mean to offend and that he just read in the paper that Chanel had pushed Sloan’s mother off the roof of a building. Paulina argues that the paper lies to boost sales because it was an accident that Chanel did nothing to cause. Paulina adds that Martha Bedford lured Chanel to the rooftop and attacked her. Colin brings up that it was because Chanel was having an affair with Martha’s husband. Abe argues that Chanel was seduced by the professor, who was 20 years older than her. Abe doesn’t call that an affair. Paulina argues that he took advantage of Chanel. Colin guesses he was fuzzy on the details because Paulina hired a bunch of people to cover it up.

Eric and Belle sit together at the Pub, saying that Marlena put them in their place. Eric admits to being defensive while Belle acknowledges that she came in guns blazing but says it was only because she’s worried about him. Eric assures that he can take care of himself. Belle argues that none of them know Sloan that well or what kind of person she is. Eric trusts his own instincts. Eric acknowledges that Sloan has a history with Paulina and Chanel and bad things are happening, but Abe is like an uncle to him so if he thought Sloan had anything to do with it, he wouldn’t want to be with her. Eric believes that Sloan is innocent and trusts her. Eric talks about getting to know the person she is and that she would not do the things that she’s been accused of. Belle decides that she will do her damndest not to worry about him then. Belle adds that Eric can still worry about him. Eric asks if Shawn is still a wreck after what happened to Bo. Belle confirms that he just keeps saying he shot his own father and is tortured by it. Belle complains that Shawn is dealing with it all alone and she should’ve cleared her schedule to go be with him in Greece, but she doesn’t even know how to track him down since he won’t take her calls. Eric tells her that he’s sorry. Belle guesses that’s why she’s been so hard on Eric since she couldn’t get her own life together, so she came to tell him how to live his.

Sloan asks Nicole about it maybe not being Eric’s baby. Nicole reminds her that she’s with EJ now. Sloan questions her having unprotected sex with both of them. Nicole tells her to keep her voice down. Nicole tells Sloan that she stuck her nose in her business and asks if it would be possible to keep her mouth shut. Sloan questions why she would do that. Nicole asks if she really wants Eric to know that she’s pregnant and argues that if she finds out the baby is EJ’s, then Eric never has to know that he was ever in the running to be the father. Sloan reluctantly agrees to keep Nicole’s secret. Marlena then arrives at the hospital and greets Nicole. Nicole tells Marlena that it’s so good to see her. Sloan tells Marlena that she was so relieved to find out that she was alive because Eric was in a lot of pain when he thought he lost her. Marlena is sorry that Eric had to go through that. Sloan suggests she and Eric take Marlena and John out to dinner now that she’s back. Marlena agrees to talk to John. Sloan says she knows it would mean a lot to Eric for them to get to know each other. Sloan adds that she really cares about Eric and calls him a wonderful person. Sloan says she’ll be in touch and exits the hospital. Nicole remarks that she thinks she’s going to throw up.

Rafe tells Jada that Talia said she broke up with Colin. Jada feels she’s obviously still been involved with him and that she didn’t want them to know that he’s Sloan’s brother, so they don’t know if anything else Talia told them is true. Rafe wonders if Colin really has Talia under his spell. Jada worries that he could then make Talia do whatever he wants. Jada talks about how Talia was really shaken up when talking about Colin. Rafe wonders if she knows what kind of bastard he really is. Jada notes that they can’t bring him in for questioning without knowing where he is since he checked out of the motel. Rafe decides they will have to track him down. Jada wants to talk to Talia first and confront her with what they know to see what she says.

Paulina questions why she is feeling like Colin thinks Chanel is involved in all of this. Abe argues that Chanel is a victim in all of this. Paulina adds that no charges were ever brought against them. Abe adds that Sloan’s lawsuit was thrown out. Colin remarks that for some people, it will never be over. Paulina questions what that means. Abe argues that Sloan has no legal right to come after Chanel, so if she continues to do so, she will face the consequences.

Talia and Chanel kiss in Chanel’s bedroom. Chanel stops and says she knows this is a major step for Talia, so they will only go as far as she wants or they can stop now if she wants. Talia thinks back to Colin telling her how much he needs her to do this. Talia then tells Chanel that she wants this just as much as she does and they continue kissing.

Marlena notes Nicole looking pale and offers to help her to the restroom. Nicole claims she just got queasy but she’s better now. Marlena asks if she’s ill or there to see a doctor. Nicole says she just came to pick up a prescription and remarks that it’s Sloan that made her want to puke. Nicole says she’s sorry but she just can’t stand Sloan. Marlena notes their conversation seemed tense and asks if they were arguing. Nicole says not exactly but that Sloan was sticking her nose in something that isn’t her business. Marlena reveals that she did overhear Sloan says she was going to keep her secret.

Eric tells Belle that he heard nobody knows when or if Bo is coming out of the coma, so Shawn must be going through Hell. Belle says he is and so is she, but that’s no excuse for her to treat Eric the way she did. Eric says he’s done it a few times too and he knows it’s only because she’s worried about him. Sloan then enters the Pub and greets them. Belle mentions Eric saying they are very happy together and congratulates her. Belle hugs Eric and then exits the Pub.

Jada tries calling Talia but she doesn’t answer.

Chanel and Talia continue kissing and begin to undress each other as they kiss onto the bed.

Jada thinks Talia turned her phone off and says they have to find her. They decide to go check the Brady Pub.

Chanel and Talia kiss in bed until Talia stops suddenly. Chanel asks if she came on too strong. Talia says it’s her and decides she can’t do this.

Abe doesn’t think Colin understands the magnitude of this situation. Colin asks Abe to enlighten him then. Abe says that Sloan has terrorized his family since coming to town, so what happened in the Bakery is just the latest in a string of incidents. Abe talks about the threatening messages. Paulina mentions just getting another one the other day. Colin asks if that was really a threat and says that “watch your back” could have just been a warning from someone looking out for her. Paulina questions what he said while Abe points out the text wasn’t in the papers so he asks how he could possibly know that. Paulina then questions who he is as Colin grabs the bakery’s rolling pin.

Nicole explains to Marlena that Sloan doesn’t like her any more than she likes Sloan and said she would keep her secret just to get under her skin. Marlena guesses she misunderstood. Marlena adds that she’s always in her office if she wants to talk. Nicole thanks her and says she doesn’t mind telling her as Eric told Sloan that she told him that she is in the early stages of menopause and Sloan wanted to rub it in her face. Marlena is sorry that Sloan upset her with something so personal and says maybe that shows them what kind of woman she is. Marlena tells Nicole that her offer stands in her office any time she wants to talk. Nicole thanks her and assures that she will remember that as Marlena heads to her office.

Sloan sits with Eric and asks if she’s hallucinating or if Belle was actually nice just now. Eric responds that Belle is under a lot of stress and is still trying to accept that they are together. Eric asks if she got her prescription filled. Sloan says she did. Eric asks if everything went okay at the hospital. Sloan asks what he means. Eric notes that she just seems a little off. Sloan starts to respond but Jada and Rafe enter the Pub. Eric greets them and asks what’s going on. They say it’s good that Sloan is there as they need to speak to her and it’s important.

Talia gets dressed as Chanel tells her it’s okay as she meant it when she said she doesn’t want her to do anything that she’s not ready for. Talia reveals it’s not that and says she has a confession to make.

Sloan questions Rafe and Jada wanting to talk to her. Eric asks if they came to hurl more accusations. Rafe and Jada clarify that it’s not about Sloan, but about her brother.

Colin knocks out Abe with the rolling pin, causing Paulina to rush to his side and try to wake him up. Paulina questions why he did that. Colin reminds her that he told her that her husband couldn’t save her as he then raises the rolling pin at her and she screams.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Hello. Are you out of your ever-loving mind? What the hell is wrong with you? Good to see you too. I just talked to Brady and he said, you and Sloan are getting serious. You’re not actually getting in a relationship with that bitch.

Give me those prenatal vitamins. What are you doing with these? I must have picked up the wrong kind. Yeah. Okay. I figured it was something like that. Eric just told me that your childbearing days were over, that you had started menopause.

I’m really glad you stopped by. I’ve been thinking about you. I’ve been thinking about you too. Oh, um, no, not like that. Well, I mean, I have been thinking about you that way too, but this is about something else. What do you mean? I heard that your sister accused you of a crime. She thinks that you’re the one that’s coming after me.

Scotland Yard has Collins’s Prince on file. Yep. Guys got a record after all. Oh, and guess what? His last name’s not Firth. Surprise. Surprise. Mm-hmm. I can’t thank you enough for coming up. Inspector Fry Cameron Fry. Ooh, it’s nice to meet you Mr. Fry. You know we’re relieved that the Health Department.

Finally decided to send someone. My daughter can’t wait to reopen her bakery. Well, if everything is above board, then there shouldn’t be a problem. I’ll be more than happy to take care of your daughter.

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

So Colin Firth is really Colin Bedford, and it looks like he was booked on assault charges five years ago in London. Bedford, huh? Too bad. The database only has his arrest. We’ll have to find out if he went to trial or if he did any time. Wait a minute. What? I knew I’d heard that name before. Bedford. You have?

Yep. And you’ll never believe where you are. Not going to find anything nasty in this kitchen. Inspector. My daughter keeps it so clean. You’re gonna eat off the floor. I think I’ll pass on that. No, she was beside herself when someone laced her biscuits with drugs. Well, she’s making sure that no one. Ever Tampas with her baked goods again.

And, uh, how is she doing that? Safety procedures. Mm-hmm. Whoever works here, anybody who works here has to know them by heart. I think you’ll find that everything’s up to code. The biscuit dough, where is that stored? Probably in, in the fridge. But I mean, that’s what Chanel told me. We didn’t tell Chanel that this inspection was happening.

We didn’t want her to get her hopes up in case things didn’t go her way. But she’s obviously the only one that knows the hands and outs of this operation, so maybe we should call her. Oh. Oh no. That won’t be necessary. I’ll be able to find everything I need without her. You sure? I am sure you see right now I’d simply prefer to deal with the two of you.

Wait, how? How did you find out, I mean, about Jada accusing me of trucking those biscuits? My mom told me after Jada told her, I guess they were talking about how there aren’t any suspects, but Sloan, I just don’t understand why Jah thinks it’s me. Well, I guess there was something off about the timing of your story, but don’t worry, my mom doesn’t believe it.

She knows that you would never do anything to hurt me, so do I.

Please do not refer to the woman in my life as a bitch, the woman in your life. Okay, so Brady was right? Yes, Brady is right. Wow. And it doesn’t bother you that the woman in your life has caused so much misery since she came to town. Do you know how many people ended up in the emergency room because she drug those biscuits?

Do you have any proof that someone was even near that bakery counselor? No, not yet because she’s an expert at covering her tracks. But it didn’t stop at the biscuit. She. Still threatening Paulina. There’s been a lot of resentment between Paulina and Sloan. Heated words between both sides. Oh God, this is more than heated words.

She’s sending Paulina threatening text messages. Now. Here I’ll show you. Paulina just forwarded these to me. Yep. If you just scroll right there down to the bottom where Sloan says to watch your back because I’m still coming for you. How do you know Sloan Synthes? How do you know this even came from or from?

I don’t because she’s not stupid enough to send it from her phone because you can’t even prove that either. Do you really just wanna turn your back while she escalates her crazy plan? I’m not turning my back. I’ve investigated this in every way possible. And I’m telling you, Sloan has nothing or had nothing to do with Paulina since the civil suit was thrown out.

Well, if it wasn’t Sloan, who was it? I have no idea, bill. It’s not my job to play investigator. Okay, so you’re just gonna take Sloan at her word. God, Eric, I used to think you were reasonably smart about people, not some gullible fool who thinks with this what? You know what? Nevermind. I am too polite to say something.

Yeah, well, I’m not too polite. To tell you, hey, that I’m tired of being battered and insulted. Stop stuff is right now.

Give me those. You’re up in arms of rebuttal of vitamins. Why? Why? Because it’s none of your business. You couldn’t have picked up a wrong kind. Nicole. Those are prescription. Well, there was a lady in front of me in line. Maybe they gave me her prescription by mistake. Yeah, I saw the label. Sweetie, add your name on it or are there too Nicole Walkers around this town?

God forbid. No, those vitamins were prescribed for you. Which means the only change of life you are going through is being pregnant.

You’re not saying anything. Oh my God, you are pregnant. Why would you tell Eric then that you’re going through menopause? Because he’s the baby daddy. No, you’re wrong as usual. Are you denying that you slept with him? Have you forgotten that I walked in on the two of you right after it happened? Yeah, because we ate those biscuits that you drugged.

We were wasted. You really are a piece of work. You know that. Oh, okay. Oh, play. What is that supposed to mean? It means whenever Jada Hunter got pregnant with Eric’s baby, you convinced her to get an abortion. And how did you do that? By asking her, do you really wanna be tied to a man who’s gonna spend the rest of his life with another woman?

That situation isn’t the same as this one. Oh, really? Of course not. Because when other women get pregnant with Eric’s baby, they have to get abortions. But not you. You’re so desperate to get him back that you would trick him into knocking you up for your information. I don’t even know if the baby is his

really. I could hear the two of you bickering all the way down the block. What are you fighting about? Oh, let me guess. It’s about Sloan. Yep. Brady just told me that she and Eric are a couple. So what, so what, huh? Who are you and what have you done with my mother? Like, I don’t like so many more than you do, but Eric was a grown man.

Thank you, mom. I’m not done yet. You know, when I, when I came back alive, what did I find the two of viewed each other’s throats. I had asked you please, to put your differences aside, but no, you couldn’t do that. So this is what I walk into. Listen, mom, you don’t understand. I do understand. I understand that life is way too short for me to be standing here playing the referee to two adults who are behaving like children.

You know, after all we’ve been through, I would’ve thought that, I don’t know, you’d be happy to be together, that we were all alive and a family and together. Maybe I was wrong. If you wanted to make me feel terrible, you’ve succeeded. I wanna talk some sense into you. Please. I know you’re having hard time with Sean, but don’t take it out on your brother.

Mom. Did you come in here for a reason or because you heard us arguing? I came in here to have lunch and enjoy myself. Somehow I’ve lost my appetite. Maybe I’ll just go back to the hospital where people really. Really need my help.

Why would your own sister turn on you like that? If you made a mistake about the time you got in that day, what’s the big deal? But Jada’s just frustrated. She really wants to know the person who did this to you. Okay. Well, it wasn’t you. I remember your first day at the bakery. You said it was the best day you’d had in a long time.

You love your work and you would never do anything to sabotage it. Yeah, but my sister sh, she just has a job to do. She caught me in what she thought was a lie, and then she followed up on it. I can’t believe how nice you’re being about this. Way nicer than I’d be if my sister accused me of committing a crime.

Yeah. Well, it’s over now. Okay, so what’s it matter? It doesn’t. And that is just one of the incredible things about you, how sweet and forgiving you are.

Why do you remember today, Bedford? I went back over the case file from Sloan’s Mother’s death. Her mother’s married name Martha Bedford. So why is Sloan’s name Peterson? Was she married? No, nothing that innocent Sloan just didn’t wanna alert Pauline that she was coming to. Town. So she used her mother’s maiden name, Peterson.

Wow. She really planned this whole thing out. So if Colin Firth is really Colin Bedford, is he related to Sloan? Martha Bedford had two children. The other one a son. Huh. We are so relieved, Mr. Fry, that the health department finally saw the light and. And sent you here, especially with this case, still look.

Mm-hmm. Well, it seems like whoever did drive those biscuits staying one step ahead of the cuffs. Um, the thing is, we know who it is, we just haven’t been able to prove it. So who was it? A woman named Sloan Peterson. Oh. She’s been after me and my daughters, and she showed up and. And for no good reason, really heard was for quite a good reason.

But, um, I don’t wanna assume anything but. Since we’re here alone, what would you think if we went to my bedroom? That way, if my mother and stepdad come back, we won’t be interrupted. But also, if you don’t want that, we can stay right here. I don’t know how heartbroken she’s gonna be. I mean, her last relationship was really serious.

And she seems to be moving on just fine. Yeah. Because of you and how irresistibly beautiful you are, her attraction to you is what’s helping her heal so quickly from that last breaker. So why don’t you go back there and finish what you started.

I don’t wanna get interrupted either.

Let’s go to

Colin Bedford has to be Sloan’s brother. That’s why he’s using another name. And he sure didn’t like us finding him at that motel. Yeah. Because he’s the one who’s been going after Pauline and Chanel and he’s been using my sister to do it. You know, I’m right. And that’s why we couldn’t pin this biscuit thing on Talia because she had no motive.

And now we know. She never had one but her boyfriend did. I beg your pardon? You heard Sloan was after us for a good reason. What good reason is that? I’m sorry, I, I didn’t mean to offend. It’s just something that I read in the papers. What exactly did you re just the, uh, Your daughter pushed Mrs. Peterson’s mother off the roof of a building.

Well, that just proved the paper is just lied. Bus sails. The truth is, what happened was an accident and my daughter did not do one thing to cause it. I see Martha Bedford, Lord Marsh, to that rooftop, and she attacked her because your daughter was having an affair with Mrs. Bedford’s husband. Isn’t that right?

Chanel was seduced by the professor. Professor Bedford was 20 years older than she was. I don’t call that an affair. He knew. She looked up to him and he took advantage. I see. I must be a little fuzzy on the details. Yes you are. Because back when Mrs. Bedford died, you hired a bunch of people to cover it up.

I’m really put us in our place. Me mostly, you know, I was a little defensive. I mean more than a li. It’s only because I came in here guns blazing, and Eric, listen, if I was on my high horse, it’s only because I’m worried about you and I can take care of myself, bill, I know you can, but none of us know Sloan that well or what kind of person she is.

Yeah. Well, I trust my own instincts. In all fairness to you and to everyone who thinks I’ve lost my mind. I know how this looks. Sloan has a history with Chanel and Paulina, and bad things are happening. Really bad things I know, but I’m sorry for those bad things happening. But ABIs like an uncle to me.

And if I thought Sloan had anything to do with Abe’s stepdaughter or his wife, I wouldn’t want to be with her. Okay. So you really believe that she’s innocent, you trust her? Yes, I do. And the more I’ve been with that person, the more I’ve gotten to know the person that she is. And the more that person I know would not do the things she’s been accused of.

Okay, then I will do my damnedest. Not to worry about you,

but you can still worry about me, Sean.

Is he still a wreck after what happened to his dad? Yeah, he just keeps saying over and over how he shot his own father and he is just tortured by it and, and he’s dealing with it all alone. And I, you know, I should have gone to Greece. I should be there with him. I should have cleared my schedule. Can you still go?

I don’t even know how to track him down. He won’t take my calls.

Sorry.

Well, this is why I’ve been so hard on you. I guess I figured if I couldn’t get my own life together, I should come in here and tell you how to live yours.

Then it might not be Eric’s baby. Have you forgotten that? I’m with EJ now. Oh. Oh. You’re just having unprotected sex with the both of them. Oh. Keep your voice down.

Look, you have stuck your nose in my business. And now you know the truth. Do you think it’s remotely possible that you could keep it to yourself? Why would I do that? You actually have to ask. Think about it. Do you really want Eric to know that I’m pregnant? Wouldn’t it make more sense for me to find out one way or another who the baby’s father is?

So if it is ejs and you keep your trap shut, then Eric never has to know that he was even in the running to be the baby’s father.

Okay. I will. I’ll keep your secret.

It is so good to see you. It is so good to see you too.

Sloan, I was so relieved when I found out you were still alive. Eric was in a lot of pain and he thought he’d lost you. I’m sorry that he had to go through that. Well, now that you’re back, we should do something if you and your husband are free, and Eric and myself could take you guys out to dinner some night.

I’ll talk to John. I know it would make Eric very happy to see the two of us getting to know one another. I really do care about your son. He’s a wonderful person.

Well, um, I’ll be on my way and, uh, I’ll be in touch. Sloan.

Oh. I think I’m gonna throw up, Talia said she broke up with Colin. Yeah. But we both know that she’s still in contact with him and she obviously didn’t want us to know that he’s Sloan’s brother. So who knows if anything else you can told us is true.

Wonder if, uh, Collins really got her under his spell, then he can make her do whatever he wants. I mean, you heard her, how she said how he makes her feel about herself. I mean, she was really shaken up. Uh, maybe it was her guilt talking. I wonder if she knows what a bastard he really is. And it’s hard to pull him in for questioning, but we have no idea where he is living since he checked outta that motel.

Yeah. I’m gonna track him down. I wanna talk to Talia first, confront her with what we know and see what she and this guy have been up to. I’m getting an uneasy feeling that you think my daughter is at fault in all of this. Why is that? I don’t care what he read in the tabloids. My stepdaughter is a victim in all of us.

So that’s how you see it. That’s how it is. No charges were ever brought against her or me. You know, the lawsuit that Sonn Peterson brought was thrown out and the jurisdictions in London and here in Salem both decided it’s over. For some people never will be. What does that mean? One, why is this? Sloan Peterson has no legal right to come after Chanel, and if she continues to do so, she’s going to face the consequences.

Damn right.

Look, I know this is a major step for you, so we will only go as far as you want. And if you wanna stop now, then that’s okay too. Babe, you are the best thing in my life. You’re the only thing that makes me feel a hole.

You understand how much I need you, right? How much I need you to do this for me. No, I want this just as much as you do.

Uh, you’re looking little pale. Should I help you to the restroom? No, no. It’s okay. I just got a little queasy for a minute, but I’m, I’m better now. Okay. Are you, um, are you ill, are you here to see a doctor? No, I just went to the dispensary to pick up a prescription. It’s Sloan that made me wanna puke. I’m sorry, Marlena.

I just can’t stand that woman. Your um, conversation seemed a little tense to me. Were you arguing? Not exactly. She was sticking her nose in something that is none of her business. Hmm. I did overhear her say that she was. Going to keep your secret.

Hey, I heard that nobody knows when or if Bo’s coming out of his coma. Sean must be going through hell yes, and so am I. But it’s still no excuse for me to to treat you like I did. I know I’ve done it to you more than a few times. But I know you were doing it because you were worried about me. Oh, Bella Eric.

Hi, Sloan. Are you having lunch? Uh, no. I just came by to see Eric. He says that you two are very happy together. Congratulations.

I think she turned her phone off. We have to find her. Well, she usually eats lunch at the pub, doesn’t she? Well, she did when the bakery was open, but at least it’s a place to start. Yeah.

Did I come on too strong? No, it’s, it’s me. Okay. I, I can’t do this.

Inspector, I don’t think you understand the magnitude of this situation. Then why don’t you enlighten me? Sloane Peterson, since she came to as Salem has terrorized my family. What happened here in this bakery? It is just the latest in the string of incidents. What kind of incidents? No. She trashed my office for one thing and then the threats started.

The first was a, a note with letters cut out of a magazine, and then I tried to get involved. I spoke to the police commissioner and I tried to reason with Eric Brady. Eric Brady, he’s the man that Sloan is involved with. His family might have been friends ever since Erica was a kid. And right after that, when I got home to Paul Lena, there was another text and this one said, your husband can’t help.

Like someone was watching every move we made, sort of having panic attacks. Oh, oh. The first one was so bad I went to the hospital. I thought it was my heart and, and I’m still getting threats. I just got one the other day. Was that really a threat? Watch your back. I could have just been, uh, a friendly warning.

What did you just say? Just. Whoever sent that text could have been looking out for you. That text, watch your back. That wasn’t in the papers, so how could you possibly know that? Oh my God, are you.

Sloan doesn’t like me anymore than I like her, and she said she would keep my secret just to get under my skin. Oh, sorry. I guess I misunderstood, but again, if you, if you wanna talk, I’m always in my office. Thank you, Marena. I, I actually don’t mind telling you. Eric told Sloan something that I told him that I’m in the early stages of menopause, and she just wanted to rub it in my face like it’s something to be embarrassed about.

Well, of course it isn’t, but I, I’m sorry. She upsets you with something so, so personal. And maybe that shows us what kind of woman she is. Anyway, the offer stands, my office and Tammy, you wanna talk? Thank you, Marlena. I will remember that. Please do. Okay.

Am I hallucinating or is Phil actually nice of your snow? Bill’s under a lot of stress and she’s still trying to accept that you and I are together. Will wonders, never sees you got your prescription filled. Um, yeah. Everything go okay at the hospital. What do you mean? Nothing. It’s just that you seem a little off.

Well, actually, I

Jayna. Very clear what’s going on. It’s good you’re here. We need to speak to you. It’s important.

Listen, listen. It’s okay. I meant it when I said I never want you to do anything that you’re not ready for. No. It’s not that, look, I have a confession to make.

Why do you want for honey if you’re here to hurt more accusations that you can’t back up? It’s not about Sloan, it’s about her brother,

baby, can you hear me? Why did you do that? I told you. If your husband couldn’t save you,

Days of Our Lives Update

Days of Our Lives logo

Update written by Joseph

Chanel makes breakfast for Abe and Paulina. Paulina talks about still having what she made yesterday and before. Chanel complains that she needs a new hobby and admits it’s crazy to be making all this stuff for just them now that she’s unemployed. Paulina talks about the time it’s taking to find evidence against Sloan but encourages that Abe is pulling every string he can to get the health department off her back so that she can reopen Sweet Bits Bakery. Abe knows the process isn’t going as fast as they would like, but they have to go through the proper channels. Paulina complains about wanting the police to do their job. Paulina calls it unfair that Chanel is punished when she’s a victim too and remarks that it’s not like anyone at Sweet Bits tampered with the biscuits. Chanel agrees and states that she can’t believe Jada suspected her own sister of being involved.

Jada returns to Colin’s motel room but finds Rafe there instead, who says he’s there doing the same thing that she is.

Colin and Talia lay in bed together. Colin talks about wanting to stay like this forever and how the bed is way better than the awful motel. Talia knows no one saw them check in late last night since it was after midnight, but he’s staying in the middle of town which makes her worry. Colin gets a call from Sloan but ignores it. Colin tells Talia that this is the only option and says it’s not just because her sister showed up asking questions, but because his did too.

Sloan leaves a message for Colin, saying she needs to make sure he left town. Sloan knows he had other plans but assures this is for the best. Sloan says to call her when she gets this and that she loves him as she hangs up. Eric comes out of the shower and says he couldn’t help but overhear her conversation so he asks who she was talking to and what that was all about.

Anna joins Nicole in the living room of the DiMera Mansion. Anna asks how she’s feeling and if she has any morning sickness yet. Nicole says no but just a little panic stricken. Anna knows she has entrusted her secret with her and she’s very honored that she has earned her confidence, but she has a confession to make. Anna says it was an accident and that she didn’t mean to do it so she asks Nicole not to be upset with her. Nicole worries that Anna told EJ that she is pregnant. Anna assures that she didn’t tell EJ or anyone else that she’s pregnant but reveals that the chain broke on the necklace that she lent her. Nicole tells her not to worry about it. Anna assures that she will get it fixed and get it back to her. Anna remembers how upset she was when Susan broke her crystal heart. Anna then asks if Nicole is keeping this secret forever and points out that she’s going to be showing soon. Nicole doesn’t know and asks if it matters if she tells anyone if she can’t carry the baby to term but if she can, then it matters and that’s why she’s panicking. Nicole adds that she made an appointment with Kayla for a paternity test but that’s not for a couple of weeks. Anna knows she asked who Nicole hoped the father is and she said she didn’t care as long as the baby is healthy. Anna then guesses that Nicole hopes the baby is Eric’s.

Sloan tells Eric that she can explain. Eric says he didn’t mean to pry but he heard her say I love you. Sloan admits she was leaving a message for her brother. Eric notes that she hasn’t mentioned him in a long time and asks if everything is okay.

Talia questions Colin about his sister knowing he’s in town. Colin explains that Sloan overheard Jada talking to Rafe about some British guy at the motel and Sloan figured everything out. Colin adds that Sloan was pretty upset about being the prime suspect in all of the crimes against Chanel and Paulina. Colin tells her that Sloan’s boyfriend ate one of the biscuits and slept with another woman while under the influence. Colin states that Sloan was so upset that she told him that he didn’t get out of town and call the whole thing off, she would go to the police and tell them about his involvement. Talia realizes that is why Colin was packing last night. Colin admits he was going to cut his losses and take off, but then Talia came back and told him how hard Chanel had fallen for her and he realized he can’t leave now. Talia asks why not, arguing that Chanel’s bakery is shut down and he scared the hell out of Paulina with those threats. Talia feels it’s the perfect time to get out before they get caught.

Chanel says she’s so relieved that Talia has been cleared even though it made no sense for the police to suspect her in the first place. Abe notes that Talia had reasonable explanations for all of Jada’s questions. Paulina feels Talia was just in the wrong place at the wrong time, so Chanel doesn’t need to worry about her as she will be fine. Chanel is glad as she has plenty of other things to worry about. Melinda Trask then shows up at the door and says she’s here to see Abe. Abe questions the district attorney making house calls. Melinda says she has some rather delicate matters to discuss with him outside of City Hall. Melinda adds that it concerns Paulina and Chanel as well. Chanel asks what’s going on. Melinda thinks they will be on the same page for once. Melinda then announces that she needs Abe to fire Rafe Hernandez.

Jada asks if Rafe came to talk Colin away from her sister. Rafe says that and to warn him to leave town as he figured a stern talking to from the police commissioner might convince him to do the right thing, but he was gone when he got there and had checked out late last night. Jada notes that was right after she started asking questions. Rafe notes that he checked out using his same alias of Colin Firth and paid in cash. Jada calls him scum for how he treated her sister. Jada feels like it sounds like there must be something more to this. Rafe feels it could be something criminal.

Abe questions why the hell he would fire Rafe. Melinda argues that the Sweet Bits debacle is far from Rafe’s first abject failure. Melinda believes she speaks for the people of Salem when she says enough is enough. Abe reminds her that Rafe was also poisoned by the biscuits and has every incentive to solve this case which he has worked very hard to do. Abe adds that Sloan might be their lead suspect but there is not a shred of evidence, so they may never be able to prosecute this case. Melinda argues that she could with the proper support from the police department. Melinda says she needs someone in this job who will get things done and isn’t afraid to bend the rules to do so. Abe supposes she has someone in mind. Melinda reveals she wants Paulina to take over.

Talia tells Colin that they can go back to New York where she can start working as a doctor again and they can get their lives back. Colin says when this is all over, they will do that but they can’t pull the plug now. Colin adds that Sloan doesn’t know anything about Talia with Chanel, so they don’t have to abandon that part of the plan, especially when Talia is so close to breaking Chanel’s heart. Talia says she really hates to disappoint him or let him down, but she can’t take this anymore as she doesn’t want to do this.

Sloan tells Eric that everything is fine with her brother and she just likes to check in on him every so often since he’s had it kind of rough. Eric notes that she mentioned that before but didn’t go in to details. Sloan talks about not knowing much of his childhood because of the age difference and then when she went to high school, he moved away to London with their parents when her dad became a professor there. Sloan tells Eric that after their parents died, she thinks it was even worse for him as it really changed him. Sloan says she was totally derailed by it but his grief and anger completely took him over to the extent that he could barely even function. Sloan asks what Eric is thinking. Eric hates to even say it but asks if it’s possible that her brother could be the one going after Paulina and Chanel.

Nicole asks how Anna could say that she hopes the father is Eric when she’s trying not to go there. Nicole doesn’t want to fixate on whose baby she is carrying or who she wants it to be and that’s why she is panicking because she doesn’t know what to do, think, or expect. Nicole cries that her stupid drugged one night stand with Eric has really messed up her life. Nicole adds that what’s making her panic more is that she’s likely to miscarry because the odds of her are carrying a baby to term are practically zero. Anna brings up Holly but Nicole reveals that Chloe was her surrogate which Anna had no idea of. Nicole explains that she and Daniel had froze her embryos because she had already had two miscarriages. Nicole talks about how she didn’t want anything to do with EJ in the second one and both times, he was livid with her. Nicole thought she put all that pain behind her but now being pregnant has brought back all the possibility and fear. Anna encourages that medicine has come a long way in the last few years. Anna declares that what was impossible back then might not be impossible now and maybe she can have a successful, healthy pregnancy after all. Nicole says she’s read articles about advanced medicine and she knows even with high risk pregnancy, that there is a likelihood of a positive outcome more than a few years ago but she doesn’t want to get her hopes up or Eric’s. Anna asks why she’d be worried about getting Eric’s hopes up. Nicole explains that Eric always wanted to be a dad and first he lost McKenzie, then Jada was pregnant but got an abortion, and the only reason they aren’t together is because he blames her. Anna argues that was Jada’s choice. Nicole says if Eric is the father and she does have a miscarriage, she will feel like she’s taking yet another child away from him.

Sloan questions why Eric would even ask her that when he knows nothing about her brother. Eric points out that she just told him that he was more traumatized than she was by what happened and that his anger took over him completely in the aftermath of their deaths. Sloan admits maybe he has motive, but insists that he has nothing to do with those crimes since he’s nowhere near Salem.

Colin mocks Talia for saying she doesn’t want to do this anymore. Colin complains that she was on board with their plan when they came to Salem. Talia argues that it’s different now and that Chanel and Paulina are nice to her. Talia complains that she’s the one that has to look in Chanel’s eyes and kiss her and shower her with compliments and it just feels wrong. Colin asks how she thinks he felt when he found out his mother jumped to her death from a roof or when he found out that she was pushed by the same person who seduced his dad or when Paulina paid to have everything covered up so Chanel wouldn’t have to face the consequences. Colin argues that now the mayor is on her side trying to open up the Bakery again which means she’s going to get away with it again if Talia doesn’t help him. Colin thought she understood how important this was to him and why he has to do this to honor his parent’s memory and get justice for them. Colin declares that if he doesn’t, he won’t be able to live with himself. Colin thought Talia was on his side but remarks that obviously he was wrong.

Paulina questions Melinda wanting her to be the police commissioner. Melinda assumes Paulina is willing to do whatever it takes to put Sloan behind bars. Abe argues that Paulina cannot and will not go after that position. Abe adds that there would be blatant nepotism and he believes in her capabilities but he appointed Rafe as commissioner because he believes in him and that hasn’t changed. Melinda calls that a shame and predicts that him being soft on crime will get Abe creamed in the next election. Melinda then exits as Paulina remarks so much for her shiny new badge.

Jada tells Rafe that maybe Colin is gone or maybe he’s not, but she doesn’t want to take any chances of him finding his way back in to Talia’s life since the whole thing with the drugged up biscuits. Jada knows Talia gave all the right answers to their questions even if there were red flags. Jada says they kept questioning what her motive would be to sabotage the Bakery. Rafe asks if she’s thinking Colin is involved in this. Jada doesn’t know but she hopes not. Rafe bets he has a record and suggests checking the room for fingerprints as he has his kit in the car. Jada comments that it looks like the room has been cleaned. Rafe disagrees as he points to a desk in the room. Rafe notes that they haven’t even emptied the trash. Jada says in that case, they will not only pick up Colin’s prints but Talia’s as well and anyone else that has been in and out of the place. Rafe stops and finds a razor in the trash, betting they will get his prints off of that.

Talia tells Colin that she is on his side and he knows this. Talia adds that she hates how he had to suffer his mother’s murder and his dad dying, so she understands why he wants to get justice for them. Talia asks him not to be mad at her. Colin knows how difficult this has been for her to have to seduce someone she despises and she’s not even attracted to women while only having eyes for him. Colin calls her the best thing in his life and asks if she understands how much he needs her to do this for him. Talia says she does. Colin knows how much he has asked of her and says she’s been so supportive and understanding. Colin encourages that they are almost at the finish line at the end.

Abe jokes to Paulina that her current job pays a hell of a lot more than police commissioner. Paulina admits she admires his loyalty to Rafe. Abe says he’s loyal to him because he’s good at his job and complains about Melinda. Abe decides they won’t talk any more about Melinda as he’s going to put her out of his mind and go to the office. Paulina decides she will do the same. Chanel wishes she could do the same. Paulina knows how hard it is and how she wishes she could just go work at the Bakery. Abe encourages her that they want her to get back to running her wonderful business. Paulina assures that she will soon. Paulina suggests Chanel go shower and get ready for her day because they always feel better when dressed for success. Paulina promises the world will seem a lot brighter. Chanel reluctantly agrees to do so. Paulina knows how bleak it seems but says you never know what the day might bring.

Eric apologizes to Sloan if he upset her by suggesting that her brother could have something to do with the crimes against Paulina and Chanel. Sloan repeats that it doesn’t make sense since he’s not in Salem and nowhere close. Sloan then asks if Eric is going to get dressed today. Eric guesses that would be a good idea but Sloan says that’s not the answer she was hoping for. Sloan asks if he was a little jealous at first when he heard her say I love you on the phone. Eric claims he doesn’t get jealous but then admits maybe he was a bit as they start kissing and Eric drops his towel.

Nicole cries to Anna that she feels so alone which is ironic since she’s with child, so she’s not really alone at all. Anna encourages that she has her too. Nicole says she’s very thankful but complains that what is supposed to make her happy and be a blessing and a miracle is just making her sad, confused, and sleepy. Anna calls that very normal in the first trimester. Nicole wants coffee but Anna says she has to start taking care of herself and the baby which means no caffeine or alcohol and she has to start taking pre-natal vitamins as soon as possible. Anna instructs Nicole to call Kayla and get a prescription for those vitamins which she agrees to do. Anna knows it’s difficult for her but encourages that EJ is crazy about her, so if the baby is his, he will take care of them both 100%. Anna adds that Eric has always wanted to be a dad, so no matter what the complications are, he’ll be thrilled and also be there for them every step of the way. Anna declares that no matter what, this baby is going to bring a whole lot of joy to whomever as they hug. Nicole jokes that she’s sugarcoating that but she’s grateful as Anna definitely lifted her spirits as only she can. Anna promises that things are going to look up.

Jada and Rafe go to the police station to wait on the fingerprints from the motel. Rafe gets the results in on his laptop but finds out Colin doesn’t have a record after all.

Talia gets dressed and Colin tells her that she looks gorgeous as always. Talia asks what he will be doing while she’s with Chanel. Colin says he will stay here and keep the bed warm, waiting to celebrate her success. Talia questions that being it since he said that breaking Chanel’s heart wouldn’t be enough and would only be the beginning of him getting justice. Colin declares that their sisters kind of blew that plan to Hell. Colin adds that he told Sloan that he was done and would drop the plan and he’s a man of his word. Colin kisses Talia and wishes her luck. Colin tells her that he loves her. Talia says she loves him too and then exits.

Paulina tells Abe that she doesn’t know how much more of this Chanel can take. Abe then gets a call. Abe says that’s great and he’ll be right there. Abe thanks them and hangs up. Abe announces pressure from the mayor’s office has finally paid with results as the health inspector has agreed to meet him at the Bakery right now for a new inspection and if everything goes as expected, he will consider reopening on a conditional basis. Paulina excitedly calls that wonderful and says Chanel will be thrilled. Abe adds that he wants Paulina too as the owner of the building. Paulina thinks Chanel should be there too but then decides that she doesn’t want to get her hopes up, so they should wait until they’re sure it’s good news to tell her. Abe and Paulina then exit together.

Eric and Sloan lay in bed after having sex. Sloan’s alarm goes off to remind her to take her birth control pill. Sloan takes it and comments that she will have to get it refilled. Sloan then tells Eric that she can’t help but wonder if he and Nicole used protection on the night that they were together. Eric tells her that she doesn’t have to worry because there’s no way Nicole is pregnant. Eric then informs Sloan that Nicole just found out she’s going through early menopause which relieves Sloan as she calls her that poor old thing.

Anna asks Nicole if she should stay with her. Nicole assures that she’s fine and that Anna has cheered her up. Anna hopes so because she has a knack for putting her foot in it sometimes as she did a few times here by trying to pressure her in to telling her who she hopes the father of the baby is which is not what she needs to worry about right now. Nicole knows she was trying to help her figure things out. Anna jokes that she was just being nosey. Nicole understands she was just interested. Anna thanks her for being kind and understanding. Anna asks if she’s sure it’s okay for her to leave her which she assures. Anna says she is praying for her and the baby. Anna adds that she has seen what a wonderful mother she is to Holly, so she knows the baby is going to be very lucky no matter what. Nicole thanks her as Anna then exits.

Talia goes to see Chanel and asks if it’s a bad time since she didn’t call first. Chanel says she has nothing but time and Abe and Paulina just left for the office, so she is all by herself but not anymore as she invites Talia in. Chanel brings up Paulina telling her that she never knows what the day might bring and she’s glad she listened, because it brought Talia.

Jada doesn’t know whether to be relieved that Colin is clean or disappointed that they hit a dead end. Rafe says he was sure that Colin would come back with a list of priors and notes that he doesn’t know of any previous jurisdiction. Jada notes that they’d be there all year if they ran them through every one. Jada adds that they don’t even know if there’s been a crime here. Rafe then remembers that Colin is British and says it looks like they have a match.

Paulina and Abe go to the Bakery. Paulina talks about how cheerful the place used to be and now she hates to see it so empty. Abe hopes it won’t be for long. The “health inspector” that arrives turns out to be Colin pretending to be from the health department.

Anna runs in to Eric outside of the Brady Pub and says it’s nice to see him again. Anna mentions just buying wine from the liquor store and rambles on about it. Eric notes that she seems a bit nervous. Anna claims she’s very calm and tells him to have a wonderful day as she hurries on.

Nicole goes to the hospital and bumps in to Sloan. Sloan picks up what Nicole dropped and sees they are pre-natal vitamins.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Good morning taste testers. I hope you’re hungry. B cups, we have pine, coconut and vanilla bean honey this morning. They all look delicious. Wow. But uh, honey, we still have the pastry you made yesterday. Yeah, the day before. I know I need to find a hobby right now that I’m unemployed. It’s kind of crazy making all this stuff for just the three of us.

Oh, faith is. Oh, Chanel honey, this situation isn’t going to go on forever. I know police department is, and they might be taking their sweet time, getting enough evidence to arrest that witch Sloan Peterson, but Abraham’s pulling every string that he can to get the Health Department off your back so you can open sweet bits back up as soon as possible.

You know, I know this processes isn’t going quite as fast as we would like, but we have to go through the proper channels. Mm-hmm. I’d like to channel those police and they’re doing their job. Oh, this, it’s, it’s unfair of them to deprive you of your livelihood when you are a victim too. After all, it’s not as though anyone at Sweet Pits tampered with those biscuits.

Of course not. Speaking of which, I can’t believe Jada suspected her own sister of being involved. Open up. It’s Detective Jada Hunter. Again, I need to talk to you. Rafe. What are you doing here? Same thing you are.

I could stay here all day. Company is exquisite. In this bed smiles better than the one over at that God awful motel. Yeah, I guess what’s a man now you’re not missing castle cockroach. What? No, it’s just, I know. No one slash I can’t Late last night. Since it was after midnight. Right, exactly. So what are you worried about now, Helen?

It’s just you’re staying in the middle of town. If my sister found you at that motel, I mean,

so I told you this was the only option, Talia. I thought I made that clear to you. Not just because your sister came asking questions, but because mine did too.

Colin, it’s me. I need to make sure you’ve left town. I know you had other plans, but this is for the best. Trust me. Call me when you get this. I love you.

Hey, that was a quick shower. Yeah. I’m sorry, but I couldn’t help it Overhear your conversation. What was all that about? I mean, who were you talking to?

Good morning, Anna. Hi. Hi. Oh, well, how are you feeling today? Any morning sickness yet? Sorry. It’s okay. No, uh, no. No nausea. Just, uh, a little panic stricken. Oh, it’s understandable. Um, Look, Nicole, I, I know that, um, you have entrusted your secret with me, and I’m very honored that, um, I’ve earned your confidence.

But, but, oh, I have a confession to make. I was an accident. I didn’t mean to do it. So please don’t be upset with me. Oh my God, Anna. You told EJ was pregnant,

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

No, I didn’t tell EJ or anybody else that you are pregnant. Of course not. Thank God. Well then what? Oh, well you remember that adorable little necklace that you lent me because it went so well with my Diane Von Furstenberg wrap dress. Oh, well the chain broke and I’m sorry I, but I will have it fixed as soon as possible.

Annana. I. I, I don’t care about the necklace. Don’t, don’t worry about it. Okay. Okay. Well, thank you. I, I’ll give it back to you as soon as I get it fixed. And I’m, you know, I’m, thank you for being understanding cuz I remember how upset I was when Susan broke my crystal heart. God rest her soul. Honey, are you planning on keeping this secret forever?

I mean, not forever because you can’t, you’re gonna be showing Sue.

I don’t know. I mean, if I, if I can’t carry the baby determined, then does it matter if I tell anyone? Probably not. But if I can hang on to this baby, then that’s different. But that’s why I’m panicking. And I, I made an appointment with Kayla, you know, for the paternity test, but I know that’s not gonna happen for a couple of weeks.

Okay. I know that I asked you. Who you hoped the father is, Eric or ej. And you said you didn’t care as long as the baby was healthy, but I’m just guessing

what that you hope it’s Eric’s

look, I, I can explain it. Listen, I don’t mean to. Pry. It’s just I heard you say I love you. Yeah. I was leaving a message for my brother. Your your brother. You haven’t mentioned him in a long time. Is everything okay?

Wait, your sister knows you’re in town. Yeah. She ever heard your sister talking to her boss about some British guy who was staying in the white dove? She figured it was me. How she figured everything out. What do you mean by everything? Surely you can figure it out. And she was pretty upset, understandably, about the prime suspect in all of the crimes committed against Chanel and her mother, not to mention her boyfriend.

Took one of the biscuits and he slept with another woman whilst he was under the influence. Wow. So that’s why she’s upset. Yeah. And she was so upset that she told me if I didn’t get out of town and call the whole thing off, she was gonna go to the police and tell ’em about my involvement, babe. So that’s why you had the suitcase out when I came back last night.

Right. I was going to cut my losses and do what she asked. Then you came back and you told me how hard Chanel had fallen for you, and I realized. I can’t leave now. Wait. Come. Why not? I mean, Chanel’s Bakery is shut down. You scared the hell out of Paulina with those threats. Hey, this is the perfect time to get out.

Before we get caught,

I am so relieved that Talia’s been cleared, even though it never made much sense for the police to suspect her in the first place. They, they don’t anymore. Right? Well, Talia gave reasonable explanations to all the questions that Jada asked her. Mm-hmm. That child was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Now she’ll be fine. You don’t need to worry about her. Good, because I got plenty of other things to worry about.

Wonder who that could be. Oh, um, who’s there? It’s Melinda Trask. Yes. I better let her in, huh? Unfortunately. Oh. I’m here to see the mayor since when does the DA make house calls? I have some rather delicate matters I wanna discuss with you outside of City Hall. Oh, well, you know, if you expect me to just leave my home because you wanna have a little private chat with my husband, I don’t I, you see this actually concerns you and your daughter as well.

Oh. How so? Yeah, what’s going on? No need to worry, missed price. Um, you see, I think we’re gonna be on the same page for once. I need you to fire Ray Hernandez.

So you came to Warren calling off my sister. Yeah. Naone to get the hell outta Salem. Oh, I figured A stern talking to from the commissioner or police might encourage the son of a bitch to do the right thing, but he was gone when I got here. Checked out late last night, right after I started asking questions.

Yep. Oh, another thing he checked in using the same alias that he used with you. Call him Firth. Oh, plus he paid all cash. This guy is scum for the way he treated my sister. But this, this sounds like there has to be something more to this. Yeah. Like maybe something criminal.

Why the hell would I fire Ray Hernandez other than flaming incompetence? This sweet bit debacle is far from his first abject failure as a poisoning victim. I believe I speak for the people of Salem when I say, enough is enough, Mr. Ask, have you forgotten that Rafe was also a poisoning victim, that he has every incentive to solve this case, and he’s worked very, very hard to do so.

And so Peterson, she, she may be our lead suspect, but there is not a shred of evidence. You’ll, you’ll never be able to prosecute this case. Now, with the appropriate support from the Salem pd, specifically the commissioner, Of course I could. I need someone in this job who can get things done. Who’s not afraid to judiciously bend a few rules.

You mean break them what it’s called for. So I suppose you have someone in mind for this. I do. Your wife

Colin. We can go back to New York. I can start working as a doctor again. We can get our lives back spec. Once this is all over, we will do that. But baby, we can’t pull the plug now. Sloane doesn’t know anything about what you’re up to with Chanel, so we don’t have to abandon that part of the plan, especially when you are so close to breaking the girl’s heart.

What.

Look, I really hate to disappoint you. I, and I mean, the last thing I wanna do is to let you down and everything. But for what? Just spit it out. Would you come? I can’t take this anymore. Okay. I don’t wanna do this.

Yeah, no, everything’s. It’s fine with my little brother. I just, I like to check in on him every so often, you know? He’s had it kind of rough. Yeah. You mentioned something about that before, but you didn’t go into details. Well, I really don’t know that much about his childhood actually, because of the age difference, you know?

I mean, he was just a taller when I was starting high school. Then a few years later, he moved away to London with my parents when my dad became a professor over there. So he grew up across the pond. Right.

And after both our parents died, Not that it wasn’t traumatic for me was obviously, but I think it was even worse for him. In what way?

Well,

it’s. It really changed him, you know,

not that I wasn’t totally derailed by it. I was, but I don’t know. It’s just his grief. It’s just anger. I mean, it completely took him over so much to the extent that, um, I mean, he could barely even function.

What are you thinking?

What? Nevermind. I hate even say it. No. Say what? Mommy, is it possible to your brother could be the one who’s been going after Pauline and Chanel?

Anna, how could you say that? Don’t you get it? I am trying not to go there. Not to go where? To, to fixate on whose baby I’m carrying or whose baby I prefer to be or not to be. That’s why I’m panicking because I don’t know what the hell to do. I, I don’t know what to think. Was he even to expect, I. And this stupid drugged one night stand with Eric.

This just really mess up my life. Don’t you see that? Oh, I do. Of course I do. And what’s really making me panic more is that I’m, I’m likely to miscarry now, why would you say that? Because the odds of me carrying a baby to term is practically zero. You have Holly.

Holly was conceived through I V F. Chloe Lane was my surrogate. Oh, I’m sorry. I have no idea really, because I thought everyone in Salem knew. Look, Daniel and I, we, we froze my embryos. Because I had already had two miscarriages and the first baby I, I wanted so desperately. Oh, I do remember that. I don’t know if you remember this or, or you even heard, but the second one, I, anyone have anything to do with ej?

I didn’t want him to know that the baby was his, and both times he was livid with me. Oh God,

I thought I had put all this pain behind me, but now that I’m pregnant, it’s just all the fears and the, the possibility of feeling that loss over again is just, oh, honey, maybe you don’t have to, I mean, Yeah, medicine has come a long way in the last few years and you know, robots performing surgeries and pig hearts being transplanted into people.

I mean, speaking of hearts, look at what Rolf just did. Oh God. Please do not bring that man into this conversation. Okay, fine, fine. My point is, honey, What was impossible back then might not be impossible now, and maybe you can have a successful, healthy pregnancy after all.

Oh, Anna, I know, well, I’ve read, I’ve read articles about advanced medicine and I do know that even with high risk pregnancy, that there is a likelihood that there would be a positive outcome, you know, more than, than a few years ago. But I don’t wanna get my hopes up. Not to mention Eric’s, because if he is the father, then well, why would you be worried about getting his hopes up?

Because

he’s always wanted to be a dad. At first he lost Mackenzie, and then Jada was pregnant and he was over the moon. And then he found out that she got an abortion. And the only reason that we’re not together is because he blames me for, oh honey, that’s so unfair. That was her choice. I know, I know.

But if he is the father and I do miss Carrie, I will feel like I am taking yet another child away from him.

Why would you even ask me that, Eric? You know nothing about my brother. You just told me that he was more traumatized than you were by what happened. His anger took over him completely on the aftermath of their deaths. Okay, fine. Maybe he has motive. But my brother has nothing to do with those crimes. I mean, think about it.

How could he? Hmm. He’s nowhere near Salem. So we’re back to this. Here are we, and I wanna do this Carlie, and I can’t take this anymore. Can you stop making fun of me please? Could you blame me? It is getting tiring. Talia, you are constantly threatening to jettison our plans, which by the way, you were on board with when we came to Salem.

Yeah. Well, it’s different now. Okay. It, it’s a thing when Chanel Paulina, where these nameless, faceless people, you’re gonna say one more time how they’re nice to you because they are and they have been. Okay. You’re not the one who has to look in Chanel’s eyes and kiss her and shower her with compliments.

It’s me. Okay. And it feels, it just feels wrong. It feels wrong. Yes. Really. How do you think I felt when I found out that my mother jumped to her death from a roof. How do you think I felt when I found out that she didn’t jump, that she was pushed by the same person who seduced my dad. How do you think I felt when I found out that the murderer’s mother.

Flew to London and paid to have everything covered up. Just so that her homicide with daughter wouldn’t have to face the consequences. Now, now the mayor, the mayor’s on her side trying to open up the bakery again, which means that she is gonna get away with it all over again. If you don’t help me. I thought young understood how important this was to me.

Why I have to do this to honor my parents’ memory and get justice for them, and if I don’t, I won’t be able to live in myself. No, I thought you were on my side. Talia, obviously I was wrong.

Excuse me. You want me to be the police commissioner? Well, given what Sloan Peterson has put you through, I assume that you’re willing to do whatever it takes to put her behind bars. Ms. STRask, Paul cannot. And will not go after that position. Besides the blatant nepotism, I believe in my wife’s capabilities, but I appointed rave police commissioner because I believe in him.

And that hasn’t changed. Well, that’s a shame mayor, but I predict that your soft on crime reputation is gonna get you creamed in the next election. I’ll show myself out

so much for my shiny new badge.

Maybe Colin’s gone for good, maybe he’s not, but I don’t wanna take any chances that he’ll find his way back into Talia’s life. You know? Especially since, since the whole thing with the drugged up biscuits. I know Talia gave all the right answers. When we questioned her, even though there were some red flags in her story, what I and, you know, unite, we kept questioning, you know, what her motive would be to sabotage Chanel’s Bakery.

I. Right. Yeah. So you think that maybe he’s involved in this? I dunno. As sure as hell. Hope not. Huh? You know what? The guy might have a record, so how about we try and lift some prints? I’ve got my kit in my car. Yeah, it looks like the room’s been cleaned. Cleaned, huh? Yeah. Clean being a relative turine, like they haven’t even emptied the trash.

Uh, well in that case, we’ll not only pick up Collins’s prints, but we’ll pick up Talia’s as well and any other transient that’s been in and out of this place. Mm, better man. Look at this. Oh, yeah.

But we’ll get his prints off of that.

Colin, I am on your side. You know this and I hate, look at me, and I hate. How you had to suffer your mother’s murder in the awful way of your dad dying. Okay? And I understand why you wanna get justice for them. I do. I really do. But whatever you do, just please, please don’t be mad at me. Okay.

And how difficult this has been for you. Having to seduce someone that you despise. So I’m not even attracted to women, and not to mention you only have eyes for me. That is true. And it’s true for me too, babe. You are the best thing in my life. You’re the only thing that makes me feel whole.

You understand how much I need you, right? How much I need you to do this for me. Yeah, I do. I told you that. I know how much I’ve asked from you. You’ve just been so supportive and understanding

almost at the finish line. All right,

we’re almost at the end.

Well, you know, if it’s any consolation. Your current job pays a hell of a lot more than police commissioner Point taken and ape. I do admire your loyalty to Ray. Well, I’m loyal to Ray because he’s damn good at what he does. I mean out, dare that woman come in here and ah, I tell you. Okay. Okay. We’re not gonna talk anymore about.

Melinda and her shenanigans. I am going to put her out of my mind and go to the office. Oh, and I should do the same. I wish I could do the same. Oh, baby. Oh, I know how hard it is. And let you, how much you wish that you could just get ready, head off to the bakery and wick a tail off. Yeah. Instead of hanging around in this apartment making bear calls that everyone’s sick of.

Oh, sweetheart. Chanel. No one is sick of anything that you make. Your mom and I well, we just want you to get back to running your wonderful business and you will soon my precious girl. Ah, but for now, why don’t you, uh, you know, go take a shower, get dressed, and uh, you know, get ready to, to beat your dad.

Why? Well, because we always feel better when we are dressed for success, you know? Oh, so go ahead, go on, get out of those PJs and go on there and put on something pretty. And I promise you, the world will seem a lot brighter.

I am. I’ll go get ready to greet the day as you say. Oh, baby, I know. I know how leak it seems, but. You never know what the day might bring. Hey,

I’m sorry if I upset you. I mean suggesting that your brother could have something to do with the crimes against Pauline and Chanel. No, it’s just, like I said, it doesn’t make sense. Right. Since, um, he’s not in Salem and we’re close. Right, so you’re gonna get dressed today or what? Oh yeah. I guess that would be a good idea.

Oh, not the answer I was looking for. No. Mm-hmm. Before when you heard me say, I love you, I need to know who I was talking to. Were you by any chance a little jealous? Jealous me. I don’t get jealous. Oh, really? Not even just a little bit. Okay. Maybe I was, um, a bit jealous.

Anna, I just feel so alone, which is ironic, isn’t it? Given that I am with child, as they say, which makes me not alone really at all. No. No, you’re not. And you have me, you know? Yes. And I’m very thankful.

But what’s supposed to make me happy, what is supposed to be a blessing and a and a miracle, is just making me sad and confused

and really sleepy. Well, of course you are. You know, that’s very normal in the first trimester. I know that. Oh God, there’s my coffee. Coffee. No, no, no, no, no. What Nicole, you have to start taking care of yourself and the baby. That means no caffeine, no, no alcohol. And you have to start taking some prenatal vitamins as soon as possible.

I mean, so many crucial organ systems are forming in these first few weeks, right? I, I know that. So you’re gonna call Kayla and you’ll get a prescription for those vitamins. Will you do that today, please? I will. Yes, I definitely will. And Nicole, I know this is so difficult for you, but try looking on the bright side.

EJ is crazy about you and. If this baby is his, he will take care of you and this baby. 100%. And Eric, well you just told me that he’s always wanted to be a dad, so no matter what the complications are, are he’s sure to be thrilled. He’ll be thrilled, and he will also be there for you and the baby every step of the way.

So really, no matter what, this baby is going to bring a whole lot of joy to whomever. Wow, you were sugarcoating the hell out of that, but I, I am, I’m very grateful. You definitely lifted my spirits as only you can. Well, things are gonna look up, honey. Yeah, I promise.

How long is it gonna take? Maybe the prints on the razor weren’t good enough. No, it would appear as though they are. See what we got.

Nothing. Damn. As I can tell you, X doesn’t have a record after all.

Hey look gorgeous babe, as always. Why? Thank you, baby. So what are you gonna be doing while I’m with you? Now? I am gonna stay right here. Keep the bed warm. Ready to celebrate to your success. That’s it. What do you mean? That’s it? I mean, you’re the one who said Breaking Chanel’s heart wasn’t gonna be enough.

That that would just be the beginning of you getting justice for your mother’s death. Right. But our respective sisters kind of blew that plans a hell, didn’t they? Besides, I said to my sister that I was gonna drop it. I was done. And since I am a man of my word,

Yeah. I love you. I love you too.

My poor baby. I don’t know how much more that she can take. Mm. Excuse me,

mayor Carver. Oh, oh, great. Uhhuh Uhhuh. Well, uh, yes, of course. I’ll, I’ll, I’ll be right there. Thanks. Thanks. Well, it looks like pressure from the mayor’s office has finally paid results. The health inspector. He has agreed to meet me at the bakery right now for a new inspection, and if everything goes as expected, he will consider.

Reopening on a conditional basis. Oh, and that’s wonderful. You’re wonderful. Oh, Chanel will be thrilled. Oh, well, he wants you to come down as the owner of the building. Oh, well, yeah. Well, Chanel should be there too, as the owner of the bakery. Oh, wait a minute on second. I don’t wanna get our hopes up. You know what, let’s wait.

Tell her until we’re short. That is good news. Yeah. Yeah. That makes sense. Ugh. Okay. You ready to go there? Yes. Yes, sir. Oh, yes.

You have an appointment? No, it’s just my alarm to take my control pill.

Oh, I gotta get these refilled.

I don’t suppose you, nevermind. Nevermind. You just say it.

I can’t help but wonder if you and Nicole use protection. The night you guys were together, you don’t have to worry. There’s no way that Nicole is pregnant.

Look, I’m only gonna tell you this for your peace of mind and it stays between us. Of course.

I just found out she’s going through early menopause.

Menopause,

that poor thing.

Okay, I’m off to Mak. Uh, Unless maybe I should stay with you. Oh, no, Anna, I’m, I’m fine. You’ve cheered me up, like I said. Oh, good. I hope so, because I have a, a real knack for putting my foot in it sometimes, which I did quite a few times here. Pressuring you to try to tell me who you hope the father of the baby is, and that is nothing you need to be worried about right now.

I know you were just trying to help, you know, to get me to figure things out. Yeah, more like I was nosy, which isn’t a great attribute. Gets me in a whole lot of trouble. Oh you. You weren’t being nosy. You’re just interested in people and do it in the most kindhearted way. Well, thank you for being understanding and you are kindhearted too.

Are you sure it’s okay for me to leave you now? Go play. Will do one more thing. Okay. Nicole, I am praying for you and this baby, and because I’ve, I’ve seen what a wonderful mother you are at Holly. I know in my heart. That this baby, this child is going to be very lucky no matter what.

Thank you.

Hi. Sorry. Is this a bad time? I probably should have called first. Oh, not at all. I got nothing but time and my mom and Abe just left for the office, so I am all by my lonesome. Not anymore. All. Not anymore. Come in,

you know, my mama told me that I should. Wear something pretty because you never know what the day might bring. And I’m so glad I listened to her because it brought you,

I don’t know whether to be relieved that the guy is clean. We’re disappointed that we’ve hit a dead end. I was so sure this guy was gonna have a list of priors. So was I. Iran, his print to the New York and Salem databases. Those were his last known residences. I mean, he could have been arrested somewhere else in another jurisdiction, but he’d be here all year running them through every system and we don’t even know if there’s even been a crime here.

Wait a minute, the guy’s a Brit, right? Scotland Yard

Looks like we got a match.

This place was always so cheerful, so sad to see it. Something was empty. Well, let’s hope it won’t be that way anymore. Mm. Mayor Carver

and you must be polling a price. None other nice to meet you both. I’m from the health department.

Eric, hi. Oh, it’s so nice to see you again. Um, I was just at the liquor store buying some Majong from my chardonnay. I, I mean, some chardonnay from my Majong, right? Yeah. Well, actually I had to sample the chardonnay, several different Chardonnays now that I think about it. And I suppose it’s a little early in the day to be imbibing, but.

You can’t really buy wine unless you sample it. Can you, you agree with me, don’t you? You seem a bit nervous. Santa nervous. No, actually I feel very calm. It’s um, probably the chardonnay Oh, the, that Chardonnay And now I’m off to you meet my delightful Majong friends and I’m hoping to win every game. So, uh, You have a wonderful day, Eric.

Yeah, and take care. It’s good to see you too.

Here’s your prenatal vitamins.

Days of Our Lives Update

Update written by Joseph

Kristen is in the prison waiting room with an old photo of her, Brady, and Rachel. Megan Hathaway comes by from working in the mail room. Megan talks about how it keeps her connected to the outside world. Kristen doubts that there is anything for her but Megan reveals a letter that she says looks like it is from Rachel. Kristen demands the letter and grabs it from her. Kristen opens the letter. Megan asks what her niece has to say. Kristen reads the letter, saying she has the most amazing news that Brady and Chloe are definitely not getting back together and she knows for sure because she heard Brady tell John and Marlena that Chloe just moved in with Xander which excites Kristen.

Chloe and Xander rush in to the living room of their apartment after hearing glass break and believe someone is breaking in, but it turns out that a poster just fell off of the wall and broke.

John brings strawberries and cream to Marlena at home and they kiss.

In Athens, Greece, Kate tells Roman how much she missed him. Roman says no more looking back as they are here now together which he calls a miracle. Kate agrees and says even when she got away from Megan, she didn’t think she would make it out alive and back to Roman, but here she is, no thanks to Dimitri.

Harris questions Dimitri saying he’s holding another hostage. Harris argues that they searched every inch of the ship and only found him, Kate, and his henchmen so there’s nobody else here. Dimitri then asks who said anything about his hostage being on the ship. Harris argues that it doesn’t make any sense since Kate is all the leverage he needed and he could’ve ransomed her for a fortune. Dimitri remarks that it’s not always about money but he wouldn’t expect him to understand that. Dimitri says he was holding on to Kate until he had his ducks in a row and then right before they interrupted, he received the phone call that he was expecting. Harris asks who the mystery hostage is. Dimitri says all in due time, but for now he should be more worried about what he wants in exchange. Harris guesses he wants full immunity. Dimitri says that’s for starters, but he’s not stopping there.

Roman hopes Dimitri didn’t hurt Kate. Kate says it wasn’t pleasant being his guest, but it’s in the past and the more time he is in her mind, the more he wins. Kate asks about Bo since Steve said he’s in a coma. Roman confirms they are not sure when or if he will come out of it. Kate says she’s so sorry. Roman adds that Hope is moving Bo to a long term care facility. Kate asks how the family is handling that. Roman says they are doing their best and mentions that Kayla is back home in Salem while Ciara is on her way back home to Ben and their baby. Roman adds that he saw Shawn and he’s still a wreck because he blames himself. Roman notes that they all thought Bo was dangerous and there was a time that they thought Bo had shot and killed Kate. Roman asks how Kate got through to him. Kate says she reminded him of his family and Hope, but jokes that he didn’t snap out of it until she called him Megan’s lapdog. Roman acknowledges that Bo hated taking orders from anyone.

Kristen continues reading Rachel’s letter as she says that she hates seeing Brady so sad now that he broke up with Chloe because he’s really lonely, but she’s also glad that he’s not with Chloe anymore because she hates her which makes Kristen laugh.

John and Marlena kiss until Brady comes in. They tell him it’s okay as it’s his home too but Brady says not for much longer as he feels he and Rachel have imposed on them. Marlena insists that they love having them here. Brady says it will be a little longer since he hasn’t found a place yet but he has some leads. Marlena understands he feels he needs to do that but says they will miss having him around. Brady assures he won’t be far and notes that he actually thought he’d be across the street but Xander beat him to the perfect apartment and then he found out that Chloe is moving in with him, which shocks John and Marlena. Marlena tells Brady that she’s so sorry. John argues that Brady has pulled all the stops to try and fix things with Chloe, so he suggests that he try to forgive himself and move on. Brady responds that they are both trying, but he really hates the idea of Chloe moving in with Xander.

Xander questions why the poster would suddenly fall. Chloe blames Xander for not hanging it right. Xander argues that it was perfectly secure but then another picture falls off the wall. Chloe jokes about the irony but Xander says he’s not finding it funny and he’s starting to think the place might be haunted.

Brady tells John and Marlena that he can’t think of someone worse than Xander for Chloe to end up with. Marlena argues that it doesn’t mean she’s going to fall for him but Brady says it doesn’t mean she won’t either since not long ago, she couldn’t stand to look at Xander and now suddenly she is moving in with him. Brady adds that he can’t say Chloe is too smart to fall for him since Sarah did too. Brady remarks that Xander is not only a loser, but he’s dangerous too. John remembers Xander shooting Brady and Marlena. Brady doesn’t think Xander should get a pass just because they survived and points out that not everyone was as lucky.

Chloe questions Xander thinking the place is haunted or believing in ghosts. Xander says he’s from Scotland which he calls haunted as well. Chloe asks who he thinks is haunting him. Xander worries that it’s Susan Banks.

Megan tells Kristen to enjoy her night and continues on with the mail. Kristen continues reading the letter as Rachel says she would give more details but Brady changed the subject and they all started talking about Bo Brady instead. Megan then rushes back and asks what about Bo. Kristen thought she wasn’t interested but Megan demands to know what she said about Bo. Kristen reads that Rachel said everyone is upset because Hope had broken through to Bo and right when it looked like he was going to be his old self, Shawn shot him. Megan begins to panic.

Dimitri tells Harris that some people pray to the Lord to get what they want, but he hasn’t had much luck in that regard so he prefers to always be prepared. Dimitri informs Harris that he’s not the only one being persecuted by the powers to be, so he is not seeking one but two immunity grants, and warns that if he does not get them, his second hostage will soon have an appointment at the pearly gates.

Roman brings Kate back to their hotel room and says everyone was glad to see her. Kate jokes that Maggie might have been disappointed but Roman assures Maggie would never wish harm on anyone. Kate jokes about sleeping in a room that doesn’t smell like fish or make her sea sick. Roman acknowledges that she’s been to Hell and back, so she has a lot of pampering ahead of her and he’s not sure where to start. Roman suggests a bubble bath or a spa treatment. Kate says that Dimitri wanted to wine and dine her so he let her take a break and eat. Roman jokes that he’s running out of ideas if she doesn’t need to eat or the spa. Kate responds that she does have something important to ask of him. Kate then asks Roman to put her ring back on her finger.

Chloe asks Xander if he’s joking or if he actually thinks Susan Banks is haunting him. Xander reveals that he’s been expecting it for a while since he was responsible for Susan’s death. Chloe relates to feeling responsible for someone losing their life and never getting over it. Xander says she should get over it since El Fideo was a monster but Susan was sweet and died a horrible death that’s on him. Chloe says she’s not defending what he did but says at some point he has to move on with his life and learn from it. Xander says he’s been trying so hard to learn from his mistakes and not repeat them, but somehow, trouble always seems to find him or he finds it. Xander says he gets desperate for money and an opportunity arises, then he’s deep in something illegal that spirals out of control until something very bad happens like Susan Banks’ fiery death in the car crash. Chloe reminds him that Ava Vitali was behind the wheel. Xander complains that Susan wouldn’t have been in the car if he hadn’t kidnapped her or been weak and given in to Ava’s money. Xander adds that Susan would still be alive and he’d still be married to Sarah. Xander decides maybe the apartment isn’t haunted, but he is.

Marlena tells Brady that she would never condone Xander’s actions but points out that he wasn’t responsible for Susan’s death as it was Ava that drove her off the cliff. Brady argues that Xander started the whole series of events by kidnapping Susan in the first place. Brady calls that just the latest in his long list of crimes, bringing up how Xander switched Rachel at birth and complains that he never takes responsibility for these things. John remarks that Xander has that in common with his uncle Victor. Brady says he keeps thinking about Chloe being under the same roof as Xander and worries about when his next scheme is going to be and how he’s going to drag Chloe in to it. Brady complains that it’s all Xander does and declares that he belongs in prison.

Megan cries that this is an evil twist of fate as she’s in prison and asks how Bo is. Kristen informs her that Bo is in a coma and tries to encourage that it’s good news. Kristen talks about how she’s recovered from comas. Megan talks about everything she went through to save Bo and keeping him alive for all those years. Megan breaks down crying as Kristen tries to tell her it’s okay. Megan cries that Bo would have loved her again and she was so close. Kristen points out that all they have is a second hand account from a child eavesdropping and the mail takes forever, so maybe Bo is alright now. Megan argues that Bo is the whole reason that she came up with a plan to get herself out of here in the first place. Kristen asks if she means get them out then asks where they stand.

Harris tells Dimitri that he’s had enough of the games and questions who he’s trying to help with this co-immunity deal. Dimitri questions Harris not figuring it out after all the clues and says he certainly knows her well. Dimitri reveals that it’s Megan Hathaway.

Brady apologizes to Marlena and John for interrupting their romantic moment and then putting all his baggage on them. John assures they are always here to listen. Brady says he’s done and he’s going to think about the good things he has in his life. Brady says they are at the top of his list. Marlena says they love him. Brady thanks them for always being there for him. They say goodnight as Brady heads to his room. John tells Marlena that when it comes to love, Brady has had nothing but bad luck. Marlena hopes that Kristen doesn’t find out that Chloe is out of the picture or else she’ll break out of jail and be right back in Brady’s orbit.

Megan complains that the love of her life is in a coma and Kristen can only think about herself. Kristen points out that Megan is the one who brought up her mystery plan. Megan says it’s not a mystery to her. Kristen asks what the plan is then, reminding her that she kept up her end of not telling anyone about Bo. Megan asks who cares since she ended up blabbing it herself to Andrew Donovan anyway. Kristen shouts that’s not her problem and complains that Megan promised her freedom. Megan assures that she will have it as her plan is very much in the works and they simply needed to get things organized and sorted out. Kristen questions who is getting things organized and sorted out. Kristen demands to know right now who she has on the outside. Megan asks why that matters. Kristen says she needs to know that it’s real. Megan reveals that it’s Dimitri Von Leuschner. Kristen recalls him as the guy who tried to blow up the world with the Alamanian Peacock.

Dimitri reminds Harris that he was doing Megan’s bidding while Harris argues that he was brainwashed. Dimitri calls that a convenient excuse for killing people in pursuit of the prisms. Harris says he’s ashamed of what he did. Dimitri brings up Harris hesitating when he had Hope in his crosshairs or if true love reared it’s head. Harris calls that a sore subject. Dimitri remarks that Harris has terrible taste in women. Harris states that Megan is in prison and that’s where she is staying. Dimitri asks if he’s so sure about that. Dimitri warns that he might not have Kate to get what he wants, but he still has another ace up his sleeve.

Roman questions Kate taking her rings off. Kate explains that she was desperate and made a deal with one of Dimitri’s henchmen to give her rings for a phone call to Roman, but the call didn’t go through. Kate adds that when Chad and the others rescued her, she was not leaving the boat without her rings. Roman is surprised she carried the rings around the whole time. Kate says she was going to put them back on but she stopped because Roman put them on first, so she wanted him to do it again for the last time. Roman says it would be his honor. Roman puts the rings on her finger and kisses her.

Chloe brings Xander tea and hopes it will help him get back to sleep. Xander thanks her and apologizes if he freaked her out earlier. Xander decides Chloe was right that he just didn’t hang the pictures right and he nor the apartment are being haunted by the ghost of Susan Banks. Chloe is glad he’s calmed down but she’s sorry that he’s so tortured by what happened to Susan. Xander thanks her and hopes she doesn’t regret sharing the place with him. Chloe jokes that she can relate to him. They get close but Chloe says they shouldn’t make a habit of ending up like this in the middle of the night together. They each say they need to get to their beds but they end up leaning in close.

Kate tells Roman that she has a suggestion of what they can do in the hotel room as she then kisses him.

John and Marlena kiss until John’s phone rings with a call from his son Paul. John wonders why he’s calling so late as he answers the call.

Kristen tells Megan that she met Dimitri once in Amsterdam and he was under another name while fooling Billie. Megan brings up Kristen losing a sapphire necklace and tells her that Dimitri told her everything. Kristen questions what exactly her connection is to Dimitri. Kristen asks if Dimitri filled in when Megan couldn’t get Bo to love her. Megan remarks that she has no idea what she’s talking about and calls her so judgmental. Megan then reveals that Dimitri is Kristen’s nephew!

Harris tells Dimitri that he’s going to need a whole deck of aces if he wants immunity for he and Megan and that still might not be enough. Harris brings up Dimitri threatening the world in Zurick and calls it a deranged plan. Harris adds that Megan is the only person that he knows that’s more deranged than he is, so the ISA will never let either of them walk out. Dimitri assures that the ISA won’t stand in his way as they will insist that he is granted his freedom.

Chloe and Xander almost kiss but back away. Chloe hopes the tea helped and Xander thanks her for that. Xander apologizes for the nonsense about the pictures falling. They tell each other to have a good night and they head to their rooms.

Roman and Kate lay in bed together. Roman comments that he assumed he would never see her rings again as he assumed they were in the urn with her ashes. Kate asks what he did with the urn of ashes. Roman explains that he had it on the end of the bar at the Pub because it made him feel close to her. Kate compares it to Anna DiMera. Roman says he wasn’t carrying it all around town. Kate asks if he was talking to the ashes. Roman says the weird part is, Kate talked to him too and says he heard her voice, asking him to help her. Roman asks if she thinks he’s crazy. Kate admits it sounds weird, but it seems somewhat familiar as if she was reaching out to him while Megan had them on the deep freeze. Kate wonders if that’s possible. Roman says he will never deny their connection and all that matters is that she’s here in his arms for real. Kate says it doesn’t seem real and seems like a dream. Roman says if it is a dream, he never wants to wake up as they continue kissing.

Harris tells Dimitri to keep dreaming and questions why the ISA would want him to be free. Dimitri says because Shane Donovan runs the organization and assures that Shane will be very eager to give him what he wants. Dimitri declares that Shane will personally see to it that he and Megan are both set free.

Kristen doesn’t understand calling Dimitri her nephew. Megan then reveals that Dimitri is her son.

John thanks Paul for calling and says he’s on top of it and will keep him posted as they hang up. Marlena asks what’s going on as he sounds worried. John informs her that Paul wants him to reach out to Shane because Andrew Donovan is missing and apparently no one has heard from him for quite some time…

Harris questions why the hell Shane Donovan would give Dimitri what he wants. Dimitri responds that he won’t have a choice if he ever wants to see his offspring again. Harris then realizes that Dimitri’s mystery hostage is Shane’s son, Andrew.

Andrew is tied up and blindfolded somewhere in a dark room.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Call you keep moving. I’m not expecting anything.

Is this a joke? Not at all. You have no idea how sweet this gig is. What delivering mail? Yeah. Huh? Keeps me plugged in with everything in the outside world and don’t tell anyone. Every now and then I just end up with an extra magazine or two. Hmm. Yeah. Well, like I said, uh, I doubt there’s anything in there for me.

You little faith. Now lucky. Lucky what just happened to show up today? And judging by the childlike handwriting seems like it might actually be from your darling daughter. Hand it over. Hey, what is the magic word? Hmm. Let’s see. Hand it over. I’ll rip your throat out. No, that’s nine words, but who am I to nitpick?

Oh.

Well, the least you can do is share what my little niece has to say. Um, dear mom, I have the most amazing news. Daddy and Chloe are definitely not getting back together. That’s good. Right. Oh, okay. Um, I, I know for sure because I heard daddy tell grandma and grandpa that Chloe just moved in with Sander Cook.

Yes, yes.

Oh, yes.

Did you do that? Of course I did. What the hell happened? Someone broke into the apartment. Oh my God. Are you sure? Yeah. Stay behind me, Chloe. I’ve got this. Who’s there? Show yourself.

My hero.

We have a special delivery for Dr. Marena Evans after the huge meal we had at the pub tonight. Oh, come on. There is always room for strawberries and whipped cream. Oh my gosh.

Hmm. Did you whip that cream yourself? Well, I did. I have gotten to be an expert at it. You have indeed. Yeah. You’re also an expert. Something else I like.

Thank you, ma’am. Do you have room for one more of those?

Brace yourself.

Oh. Oh, I miss you my love. Keith, my God, when I thought I had lost you, but you know what? I’m more looking back. We’re here now together, and to me that is nothing short of America. Well, I totally agree with that. You know, even when I, I got away from Megan, I just. I don’t know. I didn’t think that I would really make it out of there alive.

I didn’t think that I would. I would make it back to you my love, my husband, but here I am now, thanks to Dimitri von Lonesome.

Wait, so you’re, you’re holding another hostage. I see your hearing is still intact. You’re intellect now you’re bluffing cuz we searched every inch of the ship and all we found were you, Kate, and your henchman, they have names. You know the point is there’s nobody else here now who said anything about my hostage being on this trip.

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

It just doesn’t make any sense mean Kate Roberts is all the leverage that you needed. You could have ransom to her for a small fortune. There are more important things in this world than money. Oh, but I can’t imagine someone like you could ever understand that someone, someone like me would be talking about a commoner.

Is that for your information? I was holding onto Kate until I had all my ducks in a row. And then right before you rudely interrupted our dinner party, I received a phone call that I was expecting. All right, so let me guess. You have all your ducks in a row now Indeed. Which is quite fortunate for me.

Less so for you. Father say, I believe you, who’s a mystery hostage all in due time. But for now, I would be more worried about what I want in exchange. I’m guessing full immunity for starters, but I’m not stopping there.

All right. Well, tell me that Von Leischner three. Didn’t hurt you?

Well, I can’t say it was pleasant being his guest, but, um, you know, the, it’s, it’s in the past and the more time he spends in my mind rent free, the more he wins. So, so tell me about Bo. Steve said that he’s in a coma. Yeah. And we’re not sure when, or. Yeah, you’ll come out of it. I’m so sorry. Hope’s moving him to a long-term care facility.

Kyle’s the family taking that. Well, we’re doing our best. Kayla’s back in Salem and Sierra’s on our way back home to Ben and the baby, and actually saw Sean right before you came. He is still a wreck. Because he blames himself. Yeah. And I reminded him that we all thought Bo was dangerous. I mean, hell, at the time we thought he had shot and killed you.

Well, I mean, I thought he was going to, and until I managed somehow to get through to him, how well I reminded him of his family and of hope. But honestly, I, I don’t think it was until I called him Megan’s lap dog that he honestly just snapped out of it. I sure he hated that a lot. Oh, yeah. My brother hated taking orders from anyone.

Megan Hathaway was certainly no exception. Oh, great. A letter about two people I don’t know and couldn’t care less about. May I continue? Sister? Hmm? Be my guest. You all right? Oh, I hate seeing Daddy. So sad now that he broke up with Chloe Lane because I think he’s really lonely. No, but I’m also really glad he’s not with that mean woman anymore because I hate her.

Is that okay? Mommy? But I’m also glad

Oh yes, sweet sweetheart. That is. Super. Okay.

Oh, okay. Oh, sorry. Don’t mind. No, no, no, no. It’s Please, please. Sorry. Wait. Don’t go. Fine. Are you sure? No, no, no. Nevermind us. We’ll get ourselves a room. This is your home too. Not much longer, actually. I look we’ve imposed on you long enough. No, no. We love having you here. Well, you are gonna be stuck with Rachel and me a little while longer because we haven’t found a place yet, but I have some leads.

Yeah, well, I, I know that you think this is what you have to do, but we are gonna miss having you here. Was this Hell yeah, kid. Well, I’m not gonna be that far. I actually planned to be right across the street, but Xander Cook, he seemed to have beaten me to the perfect department and it was also a nice way to find out that.

Chloe is moving in with him. Oh. Oh no. I’m so sorry. Sorry. Look, son. Son, you have pulled out all the stops to try to fix this thing with Chloe here, so maybe it’s time you just start forgiving yourself and try to move on. Dad, I’m trying. Chloe is too. I just, I really hate the idea of her moving in with.

That shmuck, why would this suddenly fall? Oh, I don’t know. It wasn’t hung right. I hung it myself. I remember, and I remember distinctly telling you that you needed a wall anchor for that picture and you insisting that you did not. Chloe, I know to hang a picture that foot was perfectly secure.

Okay. I think that was the patron saint irony. You sure about that? What I, I was making a joke, Sandra. No, I’m not finding this funny. Chloe, I’m starting think this place might be.

I am trying to think of somebody. That Chloe could end up with that’s worse than Xander Cook. And I’m, I’m drawing a blank. Just because she’s staying there does not mean she’s going to fall for him. Doesn’t mean she won’t either. I mean, a little while ago she couldn’t stand to even look at the guy, and now suddenly she’s okay with moving in with him.

And it’s not like I can say she’s too smart to fall for a guy like him because look at Sarah Horton, very intelligent woman who barely escaped that idiot’s clutches. Right? We’ve got a good point there. And the worst part, dad is. He’s not only a loser, but he’s a dangerous loser. You know, nobody knows that better than me.

Well, I know a little something about that. Seen as how he shot my two favorite people in the world who happen to be standing in this room right now, survive. Thank God. Yeah. I don’t think he should get a pass though for that. Just because we didn’t happen to die doesn’t mean he’s not responsible for heinous crime.

And by the way, not everyone was as lucky. This place haunted. It certainly was in the realm of possibility, isn’t it? Yeah. Only if you believe in ghosts. Yeah. Well, I’m from Scotland. Whole, whole-blood countries haunted lots and bogs, all covered in fog. If you ever seen any of those spooky castles up in the highlands, Hmm.

Can’t say that I have, but this apartment is not an ancient castle. Yeah. But sometimes ghost don’t just haunt places. They haunt people. Okay. So who’s haunting us? Not us. Me. Off the top of my head, I’m thinking Susan Knight.

Well, enjoy your night, sis. I’ve got a stack of stolen magazines to entertain me. Mm-hmm. Bye-bye. All right, Rachel, give mommy the glory details about Chloe and. Center, I would give you all the deeds. Mommy. But Danny changed the subject and then they all started talking about Boat Brady instead. Hmm. What?

What, what about Phil? What’s it to you? Oh, come on. Tell me what she said about Bo. I thought you weren’t interested in what my daughter had to say. Tell me what she said about Bo dammit. How the magic word is the word that you couldn’t manage. Please. Hmm. Find, since you’re curious. Oh, let’s see. Gets a little jumbled here, but, uh, well, it’s.

Seems everyone is upset because hope had broken through the bow and right when it looked like he was going to be his old self. Mo son Am and, and and what shot him? Oh my God. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. No. You see Commander, some people pray to the Lord above to get what they want, but I haven’t had very much luck in that regard.

So instead, I prefer to always be prepared just like the Boy Scouts are. Yes, I knew you would understand me, and I think you’ll find that in this case, I have not fallen short. Meaning, meaning. That I am not the only one being persecuted by the so-called powers that be. Therefore, I am not seeking one but two blanket immunity grants and if I don’t get them are you assure you commander, my second hostage will soon have an appointment at the Pearl Gates.

Well, I was expected everybody was very happy to see that you’re alive. Well, no. Hmm everyone. Cuz I think Maggie was kind of disappointed. Oh, come on, come on. Maggie’s got a good heart. She wouldn’t want any harm to come to you. Well, maybe for your sake. So what do you think? Oh, sleeping in a room that doesn’t smell like fish and make me see sick.

It’s gonna be so hard to adjust to, oh my God, you have been to hell and back. Yeah. Well with a pit stop in heaven. Yeah. Well that means you got a whole lot of pampering to have you. Okay. I’m not sure where to start. Bubble bath or in room spot treatment. Oh, you know neither of those really because, well, Dimitri wanted to whine and dine me, so he let me take a break from the fish and the spruce ups.

Okay, so that means you’ve eaten too? I have. Okay. So he is only need spa. Don’t need eat. I’m kind of running outta uh, ideas here. Okay. Um, well, maybe I could help because I do have something important to ask of you.

You see this naked finger here? Mm-hmm. Oh,

did you fix it for me?

Wait, that was a joke, right? About Susan Banks. You don’t actually think that she, well, she returned from the dead and is haunting me. Honestly, I’ve been suspecting it for a while and. I was responsible for her death. After all. Listen, I understand all too well with that. Feels like being responsible for someone losing their life and you never get over that.

Yeah. But in your case, I think you should get over it. Chloe in that Alpha Deo, he was a monster. Susan wasn’t. She was sweet and. She died a horrible death. And that’s on me.

Look, I’m not defending what you did, but at some point you have to move on with your life and, and just learn from it. Learn from it. Yeah. That’s what I’ve been trying so hard to do, Chloe. I mean, believe it or not, to learn from my grievous mistakes and not repeat them, but somehow trouble always seems to find me or I find it.

I get desperate for money usually, and then some opportunity arises before I know what’s happening. I’m neck deep in something illegal. And it spirals outta control until something very, very bad happened by Susan Banks meeting a fiery death in that car crash. But wasn’t Ava Vitali behind the wheel when Susan died?

Maybe Susan wouldn’t have been in the car if I hadn’t kidnapped her, if I hadn’t. If you hadn’t been weak. If I hadn’t taken Ava’s money, if I hadn’t grabbed Susan like I did, Susan would still be alive and.

I still be married to Sarah.

See, you see? Yeah. Maybe this place isn’t Haunty, but I,

I would never condone. Sanders’s actions, but he wasn’t the one responsible for Susan’s death. It was Ava that drove her off that cliff. Yeah. But he started the whole series of events by kidnapping her and that’s just his latest in his long list of crimes, including switching Rachel at birth. He never takes responsibility for these things.

Of course not. He was had in common with his Uncle Vic. Yeah. Yeah, he does. I keep thinking about Chloe being under the same roof with Xander, and I just wanted to myself, when is his next scheme? How’s he gonna drag Chloe into it? That’s all he does. Anybody who’s naive enough to, to get involved with him, I think the bastard belongs in prison.

Yeah, this is some evil twist of fate if you wanna have this ridiculous prison in both. H H How is he? He’s not that again. No, no. He’s uh, he’s in a coma. Good news, huh? How is that Good news. Comas aren’t so bad. I’ve been at a few myself and personally, I always wake up refreshed and ready to take on the world.

Well, I’m glad you’re finding this so humorous after everything that I went through to save him all those years, keeping him alive and. Protecting him. So glad we could be together. Hey, it’s okay. Take a deep breath.

I know he would’ve loved me again. I was so close.

Come on, listen. Um, all we have is a secondhand account from the Eve’s dropping child. Lu, you know, the mail takes forever in here, so who knows, Bo, he might be alright now

and he might not be. Hello, Kristen. You don’t get it. Hey, it is the whole reason that I came up with a plan to get myself outta here in the first place,

us Yumi, to get us outta here. Suddenly. It’s feeling more important now than ever. So sis, where do we stand

enough with the games? Dimitri, who are you trying to help with this COI deal?

You really can’t figure it out, huh? After all these clues, you certainly know her well. Her. Why do you think I’ve been enjoying this so much? Yes, her, your old pal and mentor,

Megan Hathaway.

I am sorry. I’m sorry, I, I come in here and I, I interrupt your romantic moment, and then I proceed to put all my baggage on you. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. You know that we are always here to listen, son. Well, I’m done. I’m done. I’m gonna go in there and I’m gonna kiss my little girl goodnight, and I’m gonna think about all the good things that happened in my life.

You too. That’s the top of my list right back at you. Oh, we love you sweetie. I love you too, but seriously, seriously, thanks for always being there for me. You always are as you are for us. Goodnight honey.

When it comes to love, that kid has had nothing but better luck. I know. Let’s hope that Kristen doesn’t find out that Chloe’s out the picture. Although she would break outta jail and be right back here in his orbit.

I can’t believe you. The love of my wife is in a coma, and you managed to make it all about yourself Are you’re the one who brought up this mystery plan. It’s not a mystery to me. Then why don’t you tell me what it is? I did as you asked. I kept what you told me about Bo to myself. Yeah, well who cares about that?

I managed to blab it all to Andrew Donovan anyway. Well, that is not my problem. You promised me my freedom, dammit, and you will have it. My deal is very much in the works. We simply needed to get things organized. Get things sorted out,

who is getting things sorted out and organized? But Kristin, I, let me guess. You’re gonna tell me later. No, sis, you’re gonna tell me right now. Who do you have on the outside? Why does that make a difference to you? Because then it makes it real. I need to know what’s real fine. His name is Dimitri von Leischner.

Wait, the guy who tried to blow up the world with a Almanian peacock, you know another Dimitri Von Leischner.

You remember Megan, don’t you? From what I heard, you were doing her bidding for a better half of a year. Yeah, I wasn’t, I wasn’t right up here. I was brainwashed. Oh, that’s a convenient excuse, considering you’re just killing people left and right in pursuit of those prisms. I’m ashamed of what I did. Huh.

And I guess it’s that shame that made you hesitate when you had Hope Brady, in your crosshairs. Or did true love for your Its ugly hand.

It’s our subject. I totally get it. Well, for what it’s worth, you have terrible taste in women. Megan Hathaway is in prison and that’s where she’s staying. He’s so sure about that. I might not have Kate to get what I want, but trust me, I still have another race of my sleeve.

So you took your rings off? Yeah, I did because I was desperate. And I made a deal with one of Dimitri’s henchman. I’d give him my rings if he had given me a phone call to you. He never called me. No, I did call you. He just didn’t go through. The son of a bitch kept my ring anyway. But you got him back. Yeah.

And Chad and the others came to rescue me. I wanted to get the hell off that boat, but I was not going without those rings. So you carried these rings around this whole time? I did. I mean, I was going to put it on, but then I stopped because you put those rings on my finger the first time and I wanted you to put ’em back on for the last time.

Well, it was my honor then it will be my honor now.

I thought you could use this. Hopefully it’ll help you go back to sleep. Thank you. And I’m so sorry if I freaked you out earlier with all that. I think you’re right. Pictures fell down because I didn’t hang correctly. I don’t truly believe that the. Ghost of Susan Banks is haunting our apartment or me.

Well, that’s good. And I’m glad you’ve calmed down. I’m, I’m just sorry that you’re so tortured by what happened to her. Thank you. I just hope you don’t regret sharing a flat with a cranky sleep deprived scaredy cat. Well, I can be a scaredy cat myself at times, and I can definitely be cranky. I’m sure you’ve noticed And sleep deprived.

We shouldn’t make a habit of ending up here in the middle of the night like this. I mean, together, you’re right. We shouldn’t.

You need to go to your bed and you need to go to your bed.

Perfect fit just like us. Mm-hmm.

You know, I was thinking about you running out of ideas for what we could do while we’re here in this hotel room. You know, either I could take a spa or you know, we could go to dinner, but would you mind me making a suggestion? That’s what we could do. Please do. Well, I don’t have you

if you need to get that. No. Scam, likely. Where were we? Right here?

Persistent. What? Who is it? Paul the hell’s he doing calling so late? Everything is all right. Hey kid,

I met Dimitri once in Amsterdam and of course he raised go hang under an assumed name at that time, I S A H and Kyle Graham. Yeah. And he was with Bo X Billy Reed, and she had no idea of his true identity. Ah, Dimitri had her really fooled, and she’s a shrewd woman. So are you, and yet you managed to lose a Sapphire necklace when you tried to escape from him, how do you know so much?

Dimitri told me everything really.

What exactly is the nature of your connection to that Euro trash charmer. Hmm. Did he need something to fill the hours when you were feeling lonely because you couldn’t get oh to love you?

You have no idea what you’re talking about. Out. Oh my gosh. Did you connect with him at a evil, your social network? Listen to you. You are so judgmental.

Is that any way to talk about your nephew?

Nephew?

You’re gonna need a whole Desis if you want to get immunity for you and Megan, and that may still not be enough. See, I know what you, uh, I know what you tried to do in Zurich. Threatening the world with, um, devastation if they didn’t pay you off. I ain’t gotta admit, it’s a pretty good plan, a deranged plan.

Mm. And Megan’s the only person I know who’s more deranged than you are. The ISA will never let either of you walk out. Ah, yes. The I S A, my adopted home for so many years. Well, don’t you worry about them, Michaels. They’re not gonna stand it my way. No. On the contrary, they are going to insist that I’m granted my freedom.

Wow. Okay. Um, I hope that tea helps. Tea. Yes. All right. Thank you for that. Really thoughtful of you, and I’m sorry about all that nonsense earlier with the patient. It’s all good. Have a good night.

You know, I, uh, I assumed they would never see those rings again. Yeah, I figured they were, uh, in the urn with your ashes.

What did you do with that urn? The ashes anyway. Well, I brought that urn back to the pub, set it on the end of the bar. It, uh, made me feel close to you. Okay. Um, no fence with that. You know, that sounds a little bit like Anna Damir. Well, I wasn’t actually carrying the urn all around town. Yeah. Well, okay.

Please don’t tell me that you were talking to the ashes. Oh, no, you were a little, uh, look, that’s, that’s a weird part. Weird part is you talk to me too. Excuse me. I heard you. Alright. I heard your voice. You asked me to help you. To help you? Mm-hmm. You think I’m crazy? No, actually, I, no, actually I don’t, I mean, it’s sounds weird, but it, it seems somewhat familiar, you know, as if.

While Megan had us there on the deep freeze, like maybe I was reaching out to you. I mean, do you think that’s possible? Look, I’m never gonna deny the connection you and I have, but the only thing that matters right now is that you are here in my arms. For real.

I dunno. I just. It doesn’t seem real. It seems like. It seems like a dream. Well, it’s a dream. I don’t ever wanna wake up.

I’ll keep dreaming. Dimitri, why would the ISA want you to be free? Because Shane Donovan runs the organization, and I can assure you he’s gonna be very eager to give me exactly what I want. In fact, I would expect that he will personally see to it that Megan and I are. Both set free.

Dimitri, my nephew. I don’t understand. Oh, for goodness sake, do I really need to spell this out for you? Dimitri? One Ner. He’s my son.

Okay, Paul. Listen, thanks for calling. I’m on top of it. I’ll, uh, I’ll keep you posted. Yeah, love you too. What’s going on? You sound worried? Yeah, I am. So is Paul. He wants me to reach out to Shane. Hi, what’s wrong? Andrew Donovan is, uh, he’s missing, don’t know for how long, but apparently no one’s heard from him for quite some time.

Now, why the hell would Shane Donovan give you what you want? Well, he’s not really gonna have much of a choice unless he never wants to see his precious offspring again. Offspring. Yes. With all these clues, you really can’t figure it out. Come on, shame on you. Michaels

mystery hostage. Yes, yes. I knew you would catch a bravo. Well done. Yes. My mystery hostage is drum roll please. Shane’s very own. Son Andrew.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Auntie, if you just give me a chance to explain. Okay. I guess I don’t get a chance to explain. She hung up. Are you sharp? Means she’s embraced. Maybe the call got dropped. She told me there’s nothing else to talk about, and she hung up. So she called to tell you there’s nothing to talk about. No, she called to fire me.

I can’t believe that Seth Burns had the nerve to fire you. He found it unprofessional of me to not show up for work and not call in what you were being held captive. Apparently I needed a note from my kidnapper. I have to say, I did feel kind of sorry for him though. He clearly was disappointed that I wasn’t dead.

Oh, what a little worm. You know, he is a little worm. That’s why he caved so quickly when Stephanie gave him a preview of the disaster PR campaign that he’d be facing. Ugh. There’s still no word from Steve, huh? Nope. What time is it in Greece? You know, it doesn’t matter. Years of experience has taught me that I am not gonna hear from Steve until he and Chad fight Kate.

I patch clearing. Are you amazing? As a parrot cream beer, you’re hilarious. Oh, and you’re in over your head. The penalty for boarding the ship will stop permission. That’s death, ready to wipe the plank.

Ball bastard. He fought hard and still ended up dead on that wall just like you’re going. Don’t.

So you don’t want immunity for your crimes? Oh, no, no. I do. Along with something else. And I need everything. And it’s precise place in order for me to achieve my goal. Please don’t tell me you’re going after that damn peacock again. No. What I’m after is of a much more personal nature. You see what I’m hoping, Chad?

Thank God you’re okay. I knew it. Yeah, you Thanks Are tad premature. You see Kate and I are on a date and you’re not invited.

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

Sorry, pal, but you’re not going anywhere. Sorry pal, but I don’t think you thought this one through. Now how are you gonna kill me without hitting Kate here as well? And I doubt you’re a very good shot, Mr. Damara. Oh, so you remember me? Of course I do. You’re yet another one of Stefano Dara’s bastard children.

Oh, I prefer love child. Mm. Well you certainly have his arrogance, but none of his cunning. You see, he wildly overplayed your cards by bursting in that door right there, brandish your little cap pistol. You if guaranteed that neither one of you are. Getting off of this boat a lie.

I don’t suppose we can talk about this. You can talk to the boss now. Drop the gun, start walking. Keep your hands up.

You’re kind of dumb, aren’t you? And you’re going to be kind of dead. Hey, listen, if I were you, I wouldn’t be making pirate jokes. I’d be asking myself, where’d this dude come from? Hmm? You think I just made a wrong turn in the middle of the agenda? Now listen man, this boat that you’re defending, it’s part of a global search, and the fact that I’m on board means that global search was a success.

The Isa Interpol. Fbi, they all know where I am. Q E D. They know where you are, which means you don’t have a rat’s ass chance of getting away, and you don’t have a rat ass chance of staying alive. Hey, hey, I’m an ISSA agent. You know what happens if you kill an ISSA agent? Huh? The entire agency is devoted.

To making new pay. And when they get you, which they will, they’ll put you in the deepest, darkest hole you’ve ever seen. It’ll make Guantanamo Bay look like a vacation paradise. If you kill me, they will hurt you so bad, you’ll be begging them to kill you.

I love Maggie, but she should have given you a chance to explain why she was right. I blew the deal. Alex, you did not blow the deal. That guy, Yuri, he got cold feet, which may only be temporary. He said he was gonna sleep on it. Remember Alex? You didn’t hear her voice stuff. She wasn’t angry. She was just sad.

You don’t know what she has put up with from me. And I moved in with her and Uncle Vic and I moved into her home and I treated it like a frat house. I was arrogant and I was rude. And Auntie Maggie was Auntie Maggie. You know, she’s just always seeing the good in everybody. When I made it damn near impossible, what she thinks of me.

It’s one of the main reasons why I’m trying to change. It just kills me to let her down. I don’t think you did. Look, I was in that meeting. You were doing everything you could to save the deal. Steph, you said it yourself. I’m not authorized to change the terms of the agreement. I beg this woman to put me in charge.

I swore I would tell the lion and then as soon as she does, I disobey her direct orders. Okay. Because, because. You are blindsided by Yuri’s misgivings and, and you were just trying to be open-minded.

Look, I got Seth Burns to unfi my mom. I’m gonna call Maggie right now and work the same magic with her.

You would think after all these years, I would be used to not hearing from Steve. Right. Well, could you call Michaels, Roman said he was helping with the search. I think he would be about as impossible to get ahold of. How is Roman doing?

The way Roman always is, his facade does not crack. I mean, he has been through so much. He was scattering Kate’s ashes in Ireland, and then soon after that he finds out that she’s alive. Alive but in danger. And then he finds out that bow’s alive, but he is not the bow. We remember he is a bow who kidnaps people and now he’s in a coma.

And now he’s in a coma. Kayla, I am really worried about Sean. He did what he had to do. He thought Bo was gonna shoot his mother. Oh God, come on. He’s Irish. Guilt trump’s reality. If Bo doesn’t make it, Sean is gonna spend the rest of his life blaming himself. For killing his own dad.

You okay? Stupid question, but for real. What’s going on? Look, I just, I done seeing my dad. Any change? No. He’s still in a coma and nothing that indicates that he’s ever gonna come out of it. Well, you know what I mean? Come on. We just gotta keep faith. Hook a positive outlook at it at a decade of rosary.

He’s not gonna change anything. Listen, I shot my father and now my mother is. Your mother needs you. Your mother needs you, Sean. Alright, so you know what? Let’s go take a walk around the block, get some air. A walk is not gonna help either. Nothing’s gonna change the fact that Victor was right, right above what that this is my fault.

Well, agent Graham, it appears we’re at a standoff. The name is my Moisher. Dimitri of UN there. Well mine here, it really doesn’t matter what your name is, we’re still at a standoff. So in an order to ratchet down tension, I’m gonna take this gun and I’m gonna set it on this table here.

So how do we resolve this? But you just did, you put your gun down and now I shoot you. I know that’s, it’s true. You, you could, but you wouldn’t profit much from that, would you? Do you have any idea how much those other Dera bastards would pay for my safe return? Oh, that is certainly something to consider.

And, uh, upon further reflection, no, I think I’d just still like to kill you both.

Second time, I’ll take my chances with the isa.

Uh oh. That sounded like a gunshot to me. You don’t think I was stupid enough to come here alone? Do you, so you have a host of Eyes Agents, a Black Patch investigator, and the Navy Seal, the Messers Johnson and Michaels, right? Yes. We have been expecting you. And that’s why everyone on this ship is armed to the teeth and has standing orders to shoot, to kill.

I got another one out in the corridor. I had the situation under control. Yeah, sure. I, I could tell. Did you have to fire your weapon and let everyone on board know that we’re here? Don’t feel like you gotta thank me for just saving your ass.

Thank you. Let’s go find.

Talk Don Maggie. I did and I told her that I was in the room for the meeting and, and, and said that if I was in the room and I didn’t keep you in line, that Titan might be in the market for a new PR firm. You called to talk her outta firing me and she threatened to fire you. It’ll all be fine, at least for me.

But Alex, I’m so sorry. I don’t think she’s gonna give you your job back at least anytime soon. She seemed pretty upset.

There must be something else that we can do There is we can get drunk,

and that’s the problem. Nobody blames Sean. I mean, how could they give in all the things that Bo had done? Sean thought that Bo shot Kate, so when he saw him holding the gun, he thought his mom was next. Of course, that’s justified, but Sean just doesn’t see it that way and there’s no reasoning with him. So unfortunately, reasoning with a Brady doesn’t catch you very far.

He just sounds so bleak.

Take it from me, somebody who has been there so many times at home waiting for noose. You have to just hold on to the fact that hope is there for him and so is Roman. And they are gonna see him through this. I know, but they’re so concerned about Bo. No. You know what? Hope may be worrying about Bo, but she’s never gonna lose track of Sean.

She’s not. So we just have to try to hang in there. I mean, what choice do we have?

Whoa. Fuck. Let me get this straight. Victor blamed you. The man who’s broken every damn law and commandment that ever existed is blaming you for trying to save your mother’s life. Who in the hell is he to pass judgment? Uncle Roman. Eddie. You know mom or here? She’s Jeremy new one, but she’s not. I am. So I guess the privilege is all mine.

No, no, no. Go Roman. No, don’t. Please. It’s bad enough in there. My mom and Sierra, they can barely keep it together as it is. What pompous as he can’t just get away with it. He’s, he’s not getting away with anything. He’s telling the truth. I’m the one that fired the shot. You thought your dead was gonna kill your mom.

Yeah, but I was wrong. Okay. He wasn’t, it’s not like I just shot him in the, the leg and I like, I just disarm him or something and he.

He’s just lying in there. He’s lying in that bed and he may never, he may never come out of it. He’s gone, come on, come here.

That’s my father in there, and I missed him so much. He’s a good man and he kidnapped Kayla and we thought he killed Kate. Yep, but he didn’t. That right there, that just proves it, proves that I made the wrong call.

This your handy work. It’s been a busy night.

I am sure you both have spaces reserved in the der crypt, but you’re just gonna have to settle for burial. Let’s see,

the calvary has finally arrived. Make yourselves at home. Too bad I still have a gun point in the head of the woman

you wanted to dance with me dear. Good dance move.

Thank God you’re okay. Oh, thanks to you. Okay. I already radioed this, uh, coast Guard. Come pick up this clown. And you are? Uh, this is Commander Michaels. Wow. Nice to meet you, commander. You have a perfect sense of timing. Hello Steve. How are things? Getting a whole lot better. Kate, how about with you? Same.

Thanks. Well, I’ll stay here and babysit this guy while you two get Kate back to the mainland. I’m sure you’re looking forward to getting off this boat as soon as possible. Well, I am not going to argue with that and as soon as we are on dry land, drinks are on me.

I don’t think I like becoming a better person. Ready, ready to backslide already. Maybe.

I just feel bad about everything bad that Uncle Vic and Auntie Mag don’t trust me bad. That now I’m letting her down as she’s taking care of Uncle Vic. Bad that she has to worry about tightening and Uncle Victor and I, worst of all, worst of all, I feel bad that now you’re in trouble with Maggie too. I just feel bad for messing up everything.

For everybody. I hate feeling bad. Not many people like it. You know, things were so much more simple when I was just shallow and self-absorbed. Really, and you were so good at it. Yeah. Until I met you. You really screwed me up Johnson. Right outta nowhere. You blew me right off course I did. You did.

You know, one of the things I’m working on right now with Dr. Evans is, uh,

It’s giving up meaningless sex. Okay? The thing is, before I met you, I didn’t know I was having meaningless sex. Uh, I thought it was great, not meaningless. Then I saw the way that you looked at me. I started looking at myself the same way. I’m sorry. I guess don’t be really, it’s not your faulty ride on my league.

The thing is, for a moment there, I really thought I had a shot with you, but then I blew it. It’s like I blow everything.

Wait, wait. I can’t leave until I get my ring. Wait, what? Wait, wait, wait. Where did you, where did you leave it? No, I didn’t. I didn’t leave it anywhere. Where? Dimitri’s goon. He took it from me and he kept it. Okay. He’s a, he’s a big guy with a shaved head. The goatee. What are you talking about? We have to get outta here.

No, I’m not leaving without that rape. Roman gave it to me. I saw that guy. I know Justin, where to find him. Okay, let’s go.

I don’t know. EJ offered me the Dira jet to take to Greece and I said no, because I’m working this court case, but maybe I could get a postponement, but, but, Even if I was there, even if I was right by Sean’s side, he would keep you a million miles away from his feelings. I know I have two brothers and a husband who are very similar.

Oh, I know you do. Cut Kayla. I just. I feel so helpless. I can relate all too well. Listen to me, sweetie. Sean just needs some time to heal and when he is gotten some perspective on all this, he’s gonna open up to you and then you’re not gonna feel helpless anymore because he’s gonna need you so much. And I know you, you’ll give him a hundred percent.

Any news on, uh, okay. Uh, Steven, Chad, or, uh, trying to chuck it out along with Harris Michaels. You still don’t trust him? Well, I’m just not sure, but, uh, Andrew thinks he can help. Well, I mean, he did save Chad and Stephanie from Thomas Banks, and I wish there was something that, that I could do, but I’m probably wouldn’t be any help.

Yes, you would, Sean. Yes, you would. But your place is here with your mom and your dad. When your dad wakes up, he’s gonna tell you the same damn thing I’m gonna tell you right now. Okay? You made an impossible choice to protect someone you love. That is exactly what your dad would’ve done.

Now you think he can go back in and see?

I hope they find Kate soon.

He was right here looking for me.

It’s okay. Harris took his gun. It’s not okay. I have a spare.

So Commander Michaels, do you think you finally redeemed yourself? How much does this cost anyway? Do you assume? That your heroic acts this evening have in some way atoned for all of the sins you’ve committed, both before and after being under the influence of Meghan Hathaway.

I knew we should have gagged you. Do you really think that this one tiny good deed has in some way outweighed all of the bad? Wait, is that why you want to stay behind and be the one to personally hand me over to the isa?

Maybe I just wanted to see the look on your face when they drag you out kicking and screaming to one of those black sites.

Do you really think that’s gonna happen?

Oh, it’s getting late and it’s even later in Greece. You know what? Why don’t you give him a call? I mean, he may not answer, but he’ll know you’re thinking of him. Yeah, I will. Thank you for listening. I will pray for Steve and Chad to bring Kit Home. Safe and sound. Yeah.

Look Alex. I know, I know You’re with Chad now and hasn’t evolved. Newly woke man. I respect it. What a not shallow thing to say. Mm. And just to be clear, I said I respect it, but I still hate it. One step at a time. Mm. You know, sometimes, just like right now, it’s really hard to see the point in changing. Well, you don’t get what you want anyway.

And uh, yeah, I was a great stud. I’m a D minus Nice guy. Wow. You get an A for effort. Oh yeah. Right. Thank you. No, seriously what you’re doing. Therapy. Trying to change that takes a lot of courage. I’m talking to Dr. Evans about my childhood isn’t exactly charging into a burning building. I actually think charging into a burning building would be easier for you.

Hmm. Look, this has been a bad day, but it’s just one day. The stuff with Maggie, it’s just a temporary setback. I mean, how many CEOs has Victor gone through? Hmm. Sunny Grady, Phillip, uh, it’s not exactly a tenanted position. No, but at the end of the day, it’s just a job therapy. That is a very big deal. So don’t give up after just one bad day.

I mean, look, you’ve only just started and. Already this version of you. Wow. I think it’s way better than the last one. Alex Kiya is 2.0. Mm-hmm. Yeah. How about another drink? Sure. First, I need to run to the ladies’ room. All right. Go to some appetizers. All this self-awareness talk. It’s making me hungry.

Hey, what’s up Chad? It’s Alex.

Why are you answering Stephanie’s phone?

What are you doing here? I’m looking for you, dude. You’re hurt. Kate, did you find her? What happened?

They found me.

Hey Sean, it’s me. Um, I just wanted to tell you, us thinking about you and give me a call whenever. I mean it whenever. I love you,

Stephanie’s in the ladies’ room. I knew she wouldn’t wanna miss your call, so I picked up. Thank you. We had a client meeting at the bistro. We’re just finishing up right now, but she’s really worried about you, man. Everything okay over there? Oh, you know what? She’s coming back right now. Hang on a second.

It’s Chad. I picked up only because I didn’t want you to miss it. Chad, are you all right? Y Yeah, I’m fine. Hang on. Call me tomorrow. I will. And thank you for being in my corner today. Run the world to me. Hey, I’m back drinks with Alex uh, Titan Business. Tell me what’s going on. Do you have any news? Uh, yeah.

Um, You, uh, your dad and I and, and, um, and Michael’s. We, uh, we found Kate. She’s, uh, she’s okay. Everything’s fine. Oh my God, that’s wonderful. And the best thing is, is she’s still Kate feisty as hell. Resilient. I’ll, uh, I’ll tell you the whole story when I get back, but, um, Steph, Look. First of all, he’s fine. My dad, I’m telling you, he’s fine.

And he, and he’s gonna call you as soon as he talks to your mom. But what happened? Well, he got shot in the arm. Um, oh. It just grazed him. The hospital already released him. Uh, I promise you he’s, he’s fine.

I believe you. Does this mean that you’re all coming home now? Well, I don’t know about anybody else, but I’m on the first flight back to Salem. You got shot? Yeah, baby. But I promise you it’s just a scratch and lemme tell you something, it was worth it. You should have seen the look on Roman’s face when he saw Kate.

So she’s okay. Well she’s with Roman now. I think she’s a lot better than Okay. So you’ll tell everyone that I’ll call them in the morning, right? It no, Austin, I’m, I’m fine. I really am. I’m just exhausted. Yes, yes, I will. I love you.

So he is going to tell everyone for me. He also said to tell you that he’s very happy for you.

I miss your shoulder. Oh, you’re sure you’re fine. Yes, I’m fine. The doctor said All I need is rest.

You know, the whole time, the whole time that I was there, I wasn’t afraid of vegan and I wasn’t afraid of Dimitri. Well, you really should have been. But I was absolutely terrified of losing you. Well. You’ll never have to worry about that again because I am never gonna let you out of my sight again, ever.

So here’s what’s gonna happen. When the ISA gets here. They’re gonna take you for a little ride and dump your ass in a black hole somewhere where nobody has to look at your stupid face or listen to your crappy American accent ever again. When Stephen Chad took Kate outta here, you lost your leverage. A hostage situation only works when there actually is a hostage.

No, that’s true.

The thing is, Kate Brady wasn’t my only hostage.

Update written by Joseph

After Maggie fires Alex over the phone, Alex asks for a chance to explain but she hangs up on him. Alex informs Stephanie that Maggie told him there was nothing more to talk about and reveals that she fired him which shocks her.

Kayla and Belle eat together at the Brady Pub. They talk about Seth Burns trying to fire Kayla while she was held captive. Kayla feels he was disappointed that she wasn’t dead after all. Belle mentions not hearing from Steve yet. Kayla assures that she won’t hear from Steve until he and Chad find Kate.

The guard on the ship holds his gun on Steve and warns that the penalty for boarding the ship without permission is death.

Harris searches the ship with his gun raised but is caught by one of the guards, who pulls his gun and warns that Harris is going to end up hanging on the wall.

Kate asks if Dimitri doesn’t want immunity for his crimes. Dimitri assures that he does but he also wants something else and he needs everything in place in order for him to achieve his goal. Kate hopes he’s not going after the Peacock again. Dimitri says no and what he’s after is much more personal. Chad then bursts in with his gun raised on Dimitri, surprising Kate. Chad says thank God she’s alright. Kate tries to run to Chad but Dimitri grabs her and holds her at gunpoint. Dimitri warns Chad that this is premature because he and Kate are on a date and Chad’s not invited. Chad tells Dimitri that he’s not going anywhere. Dimitri doesn’t think Chad thought this through and questions how Chad’s going to shoot him without shooting Kate, remarking that he doesn’t think Chad is that good of a shot. Dimitri calls Chad another one of Stefano’s bastard children, commenting that he has Stefano’s arrogance but not his cunning. Dimitri states that Chad overplayed his hand by bursting in with his pistol. Dimitri warns that now neither Kate or Chad are getting off the boat alive.

Harris asks the guard if they can talk about this. He says he can talk to the boss and orders Harris to drop his gun and start walking. Harris drops the gun but then fights the guard off and beats him down.

Steve calls the guard kind of dumb while the guard warns that Steve will be kind of dead. Steve asks if he thinks he just randomly got on the boat. Steve explains that the boat is part of a global search from the ISA, Interpol, and the FBI so they all know where he is which means he has no chance of getting away. The guard responds that Steve has no chance of staying alive. Steve warns him that if he kills an ISA agent, the entire agency will be devoted to making him pay and putting him in the deepest, darkest hole. Steve adds that if he kills him, the ISA will hurt him so bad that he will be begging them to kill him.

Stephanie tells Alex that she loves Maggie, but she should’ve given him a chance to explain. Alex asks why since she was right that he blew the deal. Stephanie disagrees and argues that Yuri just got cold feet which could only be temporary since he said he was going to sleep on it. Alex says Stephanie didn’t hear Maggie’s voice and that she wasn’t angry, just sad. Alex adds that she doesn’t know what Maggie has put up with from him. Alex talks about moving in to Maggie’s home and treating like a frat house, being arrogant and rude but Maggie always saw the good in everybody when he made it damn near impossible. Alex says that what Maggie thinks of him is one of the main reasons he’s trying to change, so it kills him to let her down. Stephanie doesn’t think that he did and encourages that he was doing everything he could to save the deal. Alex says he begged Maggie to put him in charge and as soon as she did, he disobeyed her orders. Stephanie argues that he was blinded by Yuri’s misgivings and was trying to make the best of it. Stephanie declares that she got Seth Burns to unfire Kayla, so she’s going to call Maggie now and work the same magic with her. Stephanie takes her phone and walks away to make the call.

Kayla tells Belle that she would think after all these years, she’d be used to not hearing from Steve. Belle suggests trying to call Harris Michaels but Kayla thinks he would be just as impossible to get a hold of. Belle asks how Roman is. Kayla says his façade doesn’t crack but he’s been through so much from scattering Kate’s ashes in Ireland to finding out that she’s alive but in danger and then finding out that Bo is alive, but he’s not the Bo they remember and now Bo is in a coma. Belle tells Kayla that she’s really worried about Shawn. Kayla assures that Shawn did what he had to do as he thought Bo was going to shoot Hope. Belle worries that if Bo doesn’t make it, Shawn will blame himself for the rest of his life for killing his own dad.

Shawn throws things in frustration in the hospital waiting room until Roman walks in and asks what’s going on. Shawn tells him that there’s no change with Bo as he’s still in a coma and nothing indicates that he’s ever going to come out of it. Roman encourages him to keep the faith. Shawn complains that it won’t change anything as he shot his father. Roman tells Shawn that Hope needs him. Roman suggests they take a walk and get some air but Shawn says that won’t change anything either. Shawn declares that Victor was right that this is his fault.

Chad tells Dimitri that they are at a standoff. Chad decides to put his gun down and asks how to resolve this. Dimitri responds that he just did by putting his gun down and now he shoots him. Chad points out that Dimitri wouldn’t profit much from that and asks if he has any idea how much the other DiMeras would pay for his safe return. Dimitri admits that’s something to consider but decides he’d still like to kill them both.

The guard tells Steve that he will take his chances with the ISA and raises his gun towards him.

Chad hears the gunshot and tells Dimitri that he wasn’t stupid enough to come alone as he has a host of ISA agents, a Black Patch investigator, and a Navy SEAL. Dimitri guesses that’s Steve and Harris as he reveals that they have been expecting them which is why everyone on the ship is armed and has standing orders to shoot to kill.

Harris fired the shot that took out the guard to save Steve. Steve argues that he had the situation under control. Steve questions if Harris had to fire his weapon and let everyone on board know that they are here. Harris comments on Steve not thanking him for saving his ass. Steve then begrudgingly thanks him and they continue to search for Kate.

Stephanie finishes her call and returns to Alex. She informs him that she talked to Maggie and told her that she was in the room for the meeting but Maggie said that if she didn’t keep Alex in line, then Titan might be in the market for a new PR firm. Alex can’t believe she called to talk Maggie out of firing him and she instead threatened to fire her. Stephanie assures that she’ll be fine but she’s so sorry as she doesn’t think Maggie is going to give him his job back any time soon since she seemed pretty upset. Stephanie adds that there must be something else they can do. Alex responds that they can get drunk.

Belle tells Kayla that nobody blames Shawn given all the things Bo had done and of course he was justified in thinking Hope was going to be next, but Shawn doesn’t see it that way and there’s no reasoning with him. Belle adds that Shawn just sounds so bleak. Kayla encourages that she’s been there many times and they have to hold on to the fact that Hope and Roman are there for him and they will see him through this. Kayla assures that Hope will never lose track of Shawn, so they just have to hang in there as they have no choice.

Roman questions Shawn about Victor blaming him for trying to save his mother’s life. Roman asks who the hell he is to pass judgment. Roman declares that he’s going to rip Victor a new one but Shawn stops him and says it’s bad enough in there as they can barely keep it together as it is. Roman complains that he can’t get away with this while Shawn argues that all he did was tell the truth since he is the one who shot Bo. Roman argues that he thought his dad was going to kill his mom. Shawn says that he was wrong and it’s not like he just shot Bo in the leg to disarm him or something. Shawn complains that Bo is lying in that bed and may never come out of it as Roman hugs him. Shawn talks about how he’s missed his father so much and he’s a good man. Roman points out that he kidnapped Kayla and they thought he killed Kate. Shawn responds that he didn’t and that proves he made the wrong call.

Harris and Steve continue searching the ship and come across the first guard that Harris took out. Harris remarks that it’s been a busy night.

Dimitri remarks that he’s sure Chad and Kate have spots in the DiMera Crypt but they are going to have to settle for burial at sea. Harris and Steve then burst in with their guns. Dimitri remarks that the calvary has finally arrived but he still has a gun pointed at Kate. Harris and Steve rush Dimitri and overpower him while Kate rushes to safety with Chad. Chad hugs Kate, thanking God that she’s okay. Kate thanks him for that. Harris says he will call the coast guard to come pick up Dimitri. Kate questions who he is. Chad introduces her to Commander Michaels. Kate greets him and praises his timing. Kate greets Steve and asks how things are. Steve says things are getting better for the both of them. Harris decides he will stay and babysit Dimitri while Chad and Steve get Kate back to the mainland as he’s sure she can’t wait to get off the boat. Kate says she won’t argue with that and calls for drinks on her as soon as they are on dry land.

Alex tells Stephanie that he doesn’t think he likes becoming a better person and he may be ready to backslide already. Alex says he just feels bad about everything, that Maggie and Victor don’t trust him, that he’s letting Maggie down, and that she has to worry about taking care of Titan and Victor. Alex declares that he feels bad that Stephanie is in trouble with Maggie now too and he just hates feeling bad. Alex argues that things were so much more simple when he was just shallow and self-absorbed as he was so good at it until he met her. Alex jokes that Stephanie really screwed him up. Alex adds that one thing he’s working on with Marlena is giving up meaningless sex, but before he met Stephanie, he didn’t know he was having meaningless sex as he thought it was great, not meaningless, but then he saw how Stephanie looked at him and started looking at himself the same way. Alex remarks that it’s not her fault that she’s out of his league but for a moment, he really thought he had a shot with her and then he blew it like he blows everything.

Chad, Steve, and Kate prepare to leave the ship. Kate declares that she cannot leave until she finds her wedding ring. Chad argues that they need to get out of here while Kate insists that won’t leave the ring because Roman gave it to her. Steve notes that he knows where to find the guy who took it so they head there.

Belle informs Kayla that EJ offered her the DiMera Jet to take to Greece but she said no because she’s working a case, but maybe she could get it postponed. Belle worries that even if she went, that Shawn would keep her a million miles away even if she was by his side. Kayla relates to feeling helpless with her brothers. Kayla encourages that Shawn just needs time to heal and then he will open up to her and he will need her so much.

Shawn asks Roman if there’s any news on Kate. Roman informs him that Steve and Chad are trying to track her down along with Harris Michaels. Roman remains unsure about Harris. Shawn points out that Harris did save Chad and Stephanie from Thomas Banks. Shawn wishes there was more he could do but doesn’t think he’d be of much help. Roman encourages that Shawn’s place is here with his parents. Roman adds that when Bo wakes up, he’s going to tell him that he made an impossible choice to protect someone he loves and that’s exactly what Bo would have done. Roman asks if Shawn thinks he can go back in to see Bo, which he agrees to do. Shawn tells Roman that he hopes they find Kate soon as he then exits.

Steve brings Kate and Chad to where the guard was. The guard emerges with a second gun and pulls it on them.

Dimitri asks Harris if he thinks he has finally redeemed himself and if he assumes that his heroics act tonight have somehow atoned for all of his sins. Harris remarks that he knew they should’ve gagged him. Dimitri questions if one tiny good deed outweighs all of the bad. Dimitri asks if that’s why Harris wanted to stay behind and personally hand him to the ISA. Harris responds that maybe he just wanted to see the look on his face when they drag him kicking and screaming to one of those black sites. Dimitri asks if he really thinks that will happen.

Belle notes that it’s getting late while Kayla suggests she give Shawn a call so that he knows she’s thinking of him. Belle agrees to do so and thanks Kayla for listening as they hug. Belle adds that she will pray for Steve and Chad to bring Kate home safe.

Alex assures Stephanie that he knows that she is with Chad now and he respects that while noting that he still hates it. Alex admits there are times that it’s hard to see the point in changing when you don’t get what you want. Alex remarks that he was a great stud but a D- nice guy. Stephanie encourages that therapy and trying to change takes a lot of courage. Stephanie says it’s been a bad day but it’s just one day and the stuff with Maggie was just a temporary setback. Stephanie goes over how many CEOs that Victor has gone through and at the end of the day, it’s just a job. Stephanie calls therapy a very big deal and encourages Alex not to give up after just one bad day. Stephanie adds that he’s only just started and she already thinks this version of him is way better. Alex offers her another drink which she accepts. Stephanie heads to the ladies room first while Alex says he will order some appetizers as he’s getting hungry. Stephanie leaves her phone behind on the bar and it rings with a call from Chad. Alex answers the call and asks Chad what’s up. Chad then questions why Alex is answering Stephanie’s phone.

Steve returns to the hospital waiting room with his arm in a sling. Roman questions what he’s doing here, points out that he’s hurt and asks about what happened with Kate. Kate then enters the room and reveals they found her as she and Roman embrace.

Belle stands outside the Pub and decides to call Shawn, who is having a drink at the hotel in Greece. Shawn sees the call but ignores it. Belle leaves a message, saying she just wanted to tell him that she was thinking of him and to call whenever as she loves him.

Alex informs Chad that Stephanie is in the ladies room and he knew she wouldn’t want to miss his call, so he picked it up. Chad thanks him. Alex explains that they had a client meeting at the Bistro and are just finishing up, but notes that Stephanie is really worried about him and asks if everything is okay over there. Stephanie comes back from the ladies room so Alex hands her the phone and tells her that it’s Chad and that he only picked up because he knew she wouldn’t want to miss it. Stephanie takes the phone and asks if Chad is alright. He says he’s fine. Stephanie tells Alex to just call her tomorrow. Alex says he will and thanks her for being in his corner tonight as he then exits. Chad questions Stephanie having drinks with Alex. Stephanie calls it Titan business and asks Chad if he has any news about what’s going on. Chad informs her that he, Steve, and Harris found Kate and everything is fine. Stephanie calls that wonderful. Chad says the best thing is that Kate is still herself and says he’ll tell her the whole story when he gets back. Chad encourages Stephanie that Steve is fine and he’s going to call her when he gets done but reveals that he got shot. Chad promises that he’s fine as the bullet just grazed him and the hospital already released him. Stephanie says she believes him and asks if this means they are all coming home now. Chad is not sure about everyone else but assures that he’s on the first flight back to Salem.

Steve calls Kayla and informs her that he got shot, but promises that it’s just a scratch and that it was worth it to see the look on Roman’s face when he saw Kate. Kayla asks if Kate is okay. Steve says she’s better than okay since she’s with Roman now.

Kate finishes a call with her son Austin, assuring that she is fine and will call everyone else in the morning. Kate says she loves him and hangs up. Kate tells Roman that Austin will tell everyone else for her and says to tell Roman that he’s happy for him. Roman asks if she’s sure she is fine. Kate confirms that the doctor just said she needs rest. Kate talks about not being afraid of Megan or Dimitri the whole time, but she was terrified of losing Roman. Roman says she’ll never have to worry about that because he is never going to let her out of his sight again.

Harris tells Dimitri that the ISA is going to dump his ass in a black hole where no one has to see or hear from him ever again. Harris adds that Dimitri lost his leverage when Steve and Chad took Kate home as a hostage situation only works when there actually is a hostage. Dimitri then reveals that Kate was not his only hostage…

Update written by Joseph

John goes to Marlena’s office and tells her that he knows her schedule is jam packed but he just wanted to see if she needed anything. Marlena informs him that she’s actually just about to leave. John is surprised she doesn’t have any more appointments. Marlena informs him that her last patient just left for an important business meeting…

Alex sits at the Bistro while on the phone with Maggie. Maggie tells him the flight was long and Victor is in with Bo now, but there’s no change in his condition yet. Alex assures that he has everything under control and he is waiting for his meeting with Yuri as they speak. Alex states that by the time the check comes, the tech company will officially be in business with Titan. Maggie reminds him that the deal is all laid out, so all he has to do is close it. Alex declares that getting Yuri to sign the contract is his only job. Alex adds that he even recruited someone to help make sure he keeps his focus, as Stephanie then arrives.

In Greece, Steve and Harris meet with Chad to inform him that they found a small motorboat that they think Kate must have used to escape the island. Chad asks about Kate. Harris says they searched everything but unfortunately there were no signs of life. Chad asks what that means. Steve reveals that the coast guard believes there is no way Kate survived.

Kate continues cutting fish on the boat until the guard comes in and informs her that the captain wants to see her. Kate asks why. He tells her no questions and holds his gun on her so she tells him to lead the way.

Chad doesn’t care what the coast guard says. Steve and Harris assure that they are not giving up as they promised Roman that they would find his wife. Steve says there was no body found, so as far as he’s concerned, Kate is still alive. Chad asks what their next move is. Harris explains that they think Kate could have been picked up by a passing ship so they can check for a location and figure out who picked her up. Chad says that makes sense but thinks Kate would have tried to reach out to them if she boarded a ship.

Kate is brought to see Dimitri and asks what he wants with her. Kate asks if he called Roman for the ransom but Dimitri says not yet. Kate questions why the hell he summoned her then. Dimitri says she’s been working so hard that he thought she could use a break. Dimitri invites Kate to join him for a late supper. Kate tells him to take his invitation and shove it up his ass.

Alex thanks Stephanie for coming as she joins him and asks how he’s feeling. Alex admits he’s nervous but played it cool with Maggie. Stephanie assures that he’s totally prepared. Alex worries that he’s never closed a deal this big before and Maggie made it clear that it’s his last chance to prove himself so he can’t mess this up. Stephanie says that’s why she’s there to keep him on track and assures that he’s got this. Yuri arrives and meets Alex and Stephanie. Yuri mentions being unaware that Stephanie was coming and asks if there’s an image problem that he’s not aware of. Alex says not at all and it’s just a very big deal for them so they wanted to have all hands on deck. Yuri asks where Maggie is. Alex questions him not getting his e-mail that Maggie had a family emergency. Yuri suggests they should reschedule but Alex assures he is fully prepared. Yuri notes that he’s used to only dealing with the top dog. Alex explains that Maggie felt he might be comfortable with him just carrying the ball pass the goal line. Alex presents Yuri the deal to sign but Yuri says he would actually like to speak with him about a few things.

John tells Marlena that he still can’t believe she’s back to work after all she’s been through. John asks how many patients she has treated over the years. Marlena says she’s never thought about it. John talks about how she started as a psychiatrist in 1976 so he thought if she took her average case load and multiplied it by how many years she’s been at it, it would be about 5000 patients. John declares that needs to be celebrated and that’s exactly what they are going to do.

John and Marlena go to the Brady Pub. John asks what to order to celebrate Marlena reaching 5000 patients. Marlena laughs that it’s nowhere near that but admits she’s never tried to count. John is sure she’s reflected on when she first started. Marlena admits she has from time to time. John asks what stands out the most. Marlena suggests her very first patient, Mickey Horton. Marlena calls it a tough case but a lovely man and says they developed a very dear friendship as she flashes back to when they first met. John asks if she’s okay. Marlena says she was just thinking back to when she first came to Salem. John is sure things were a bit different back then. Marlena confirms that they were, but what makes Salem so special is all of the people that live here which is what made it so comfortable to develop her practice. John tells her it’s not too late to go some place a little fancier for their celebration like the Bistro but Marlena says no. Marlena mentions that her client is having his business meeting at the Bistro, so she doesn’t want to show up and throw him off his game.

Alex asks what Yuri wants to discuss. Yuri says he’s all about optionality with more avenues to create buy in. Yuri adds that according to the deal, the expansion plan is kind of weak, safe, and conservative. Yuri says he came to play and it’s go big or go home. Alex says that their analysts have done a lot of research and it seemed like the optimal amount of growth for everyone. Yuri doesn’t care about research and says his gut says that they need to be aggressive. Alex explains that Maggie believes in having more patience. Yuri remarks that Maggie seems a little bit out of touch and asks how old she is. Stephanie questions why that is relevant. Yuri says it’s very relevant and promises it’s not about women. Yuri declares that he goes fast and Maggie won’t be able to keep up with him. Alex insists that Maggie can keep up and is a very shrewd business woman, especially for being so new to the business. Yuri questions Maggie being new to the business and says that she is the CEO, so he assumed that she had a lot of experience. Alex then says that Maggie did run a lot of successful restaurants that flourished under her excellent leadership and guidance. Yuri is glad he clued him on that but he didn’t realize he was about to make a billion dollar deal with a total newbie…

Roman joins Maggie in Greece and hugs her, saying he’s so glad she’s there and asks how she is. Maggie says she’s still wrapping her head around Bo being alive. Roman says there has unfortunately been no progress since Bo squeezed Hope’s hand, so they are making plans to move Bo to a long term care facility. Roman hopes he wakes up before it comes to that but it doesn’t look good. Maggie encourages Roman not to give up as Bo is so strong and so is Kate.

Harris finds out there is only one sea line that passes where they found Kate’s boat, so only a handful of ships have been in that area. Harris pulls up the live radar. Steve points out a cargo ship that doesn’t seem to be moving. Harris finds out it’s been anchored off the coast for several weeks. Steve notes that it’s not docked and is just hanging out in the water. Harris looks up more information and it says the only other ship is Dimitri Von Leuschner.

Dimitri remarks to Kate that he sees where her daughter Billie gets her spunk. Kate asks what he’s going to and if he’s going to poison her food. Dimitri asks why he would do that when he needs her alive to get what he wants. Kate argues that he hasn’t called for a ransom and won’t share his end game, so she questions why she’s here. Dimitri suggests she would make company and he thought she would missing the finer things in life like wine and lobster. Kate then decides to accept but Dimtiri says she can’t have dinner looking like this. Dimitri offers her his private bathroom to shower and change. Kate asks if he thinks she’s going to put out. Dimitri remarks that he’s well aware that her days as an escort are behind her and he would just prefer that his dining companion smell a bit less fishy. Kate rolls her eyes and then goes to change.

Chad can’t believe it’s Dimitri Von Leuschner and informs Harris and Steve that he met him a few years ago in Phoenix. Chad calls Dimitri like a James Bond villain and mentions that he tried to steal the Alamanian Peacock which was a statue that could vaporize an entire city. Chad calls it a long story but points out that Kate’s daughter Billie was the one who took him down, so he wonders if Dimitri found Kate and took her hostage to get back at the woman who screwed him over. Harris says that would explain why Kate hasn’t reached out. Steve thought Dimitri was locked up. Harris decides they better find out.

John tells Marlena that she’s had an incredible career with all the people she’s helped and lives she’s touched. John jokes that it’s been 5000 but Marlena insists it hasn’t been that many. John counts all the listeners that called in to her radio show. John admits maybe the numbers don’t work out like that, but she has literally talked people off the ledge. Marlena flashes back to talking her client Matt off of a ledge until she ended up falling off the ledge herself. John points out that she almost died while helping Matt. Marlena says she would do it again but admits that’s easy to say now that they both survived. John states that Marlena has always put her patients first because that’s just who she is.

Stephanie tells Yuri that Alex didn’t mean to make him think that Maggie isn’t qualified and assures that she is savvy and respected by her peers. Yuri mocks that and calls this off brand for him, arguing that he needs a CEO who is in it. Alex declares that Yuri is right that maybe Maggie isn’t completely in touch, but assures that what she outlined in the deal is rock solid. Alex adds that maybe Maggie doesn’t fully appreciate the tech space, but he does. Alex understands that Yuri wants to revolutionize and inspire. Alex declares that they can get there and urges Yuri to sign the contract and then they can tweak a few things. Stephanie isn’t sure about that and thinks they should stick to the original terms. Yuri thinks Stephanie should listen to Alex and says that Alex totally gets that they need to change things up. Yuri comments that he needs an energy boost. Alex offers to order a round of drinks but Yuri says he needs something stronger and heads to the bathroom. Stephanie then asks Alex what the hell he’s doing.

Maggie asks Roman if he’s getting any sleep at all. Roman says not much as he’s trying to spend as much time with Bo as he can and he also wants to help with the search for Kate. Maggie insists that now that Steve is on the case, it’s only a matter of time before Kate is found. Roman comments that Steve and Chad have been on it non stop along with Harris Michaels. Maggie recalls Harris as the man who was brainwashed by Megan Hathaway. Roman informs her that Chad and Andrew are convinced that Harris is fully deprogrammed while he and Steve remain unsure, but at this point they can use all the help they can get.

Steve finishes a call while Chad says that Andrew is not picking up. Steve says he just talked to Frankie and last he heard, his cousin Dimitri was still behind bars. Harris then reveals that’s what Dimitri wants them to believe but it’s not true. Harris explains that he just spoke to Sebastian Alamain, who had a guard check on Dimitri’s cell and found an impostor in his place. Chad questions how long ago Dimitri escaped. Harris says the impostor isn’t talking which means Dimitri could be on the cargo ship and could be holding Kate hostage.

Kate gets dressed and Dimitri tells her that she looks stunning as they sit down with glasses of wine.

Chad still can’t get ahold of Andrew and wonders if they should reach out to the coast guard to get a hold of the ship. Steve doesn’t like the idea of giving Dimitri a heads up and says it’s better to take him by surprise which Harris agrees with. Steve hands Harris a gun and pulls one out for himself. Chad asks where his is but Harris says Chad is staying here because he’s a civilian. Chad disagrees but Steve says he’s with Harris on this one. Chad argues that Kate’s like a mother to him so he’s not staying here. Steve argues that Chad is also a father to two young children. Chad insists that he can handle himself. Chad adds that he had a front row seat to Dimitri’s last scheme so he knows how he works and maybe he can pick up on a few things that they can’t and make sure nobody gets hurt or that Dimitri doesn’t slip away. Steve admits that Chad has a point and hands him a gun.

Dimitri comments on Kate cleaning up nicely. Kate asks where the lobster is. Dimitri relates to inhaling his first meal after prison. Kate points out that he never explained how he got out of prison. Dimitri responds that even behind bars, he has plenty of resources and eventually he traded places with a sorry sap who agreed to impersonate him. Kate feels that sounds risky. Dimitri says not at all and laughs that it was surprisingly easy while now, nobody even knows he’s gone.

Roman tells Maggie that he doesn’t get where Kate has been all this time and why she hasn’t contacted anyone if she’s still alive. Roman worries that’s not a good sign. Maggie encourages that Kate has overcome every obstacle in her life, so this time is no different. Roman appreciates her saying that and notes that Maggie is pretty tough herself. Roman mentions hearing that she’s kicking butt at Titan. Maggie admits she’s enjoying the challenge. Roman guesses it must have been tricky to drop everything and fly to Greece with Victor. Maggie explains that Victor tried to talk her in to staying behind but there was no way, so she had to leave Alex in charge and she hopes that wasn’t a mistake.

Stephanie reminds Alex that Maggie told him to stick to the original deal. Alex says he knows that but argues that he had to do something or Yuri was going to walk out of the deal. Stephanie feels that Alex was undermining Maggie. Alex calls that an accident and says he was trying to make up for it. Stephanie argues that Alex is not authorized to change the terms. Alex says he knows, but all that matters is that the obnoxious jerk signs with Titan and he’s going to get it done. Stephanie reminds him that he hired her to help him stay on course but right now, he’s drifting way out in to uncharted waters so he needs to turn around. Alex argues that they will lose him. Stephanie disagrees and says Alex was excited about the original deal. Alex points out that he’s not excited now and is ready to walk. Stephanie thinks he’s just getting cold feet, so Alex needs to reassure him and sell him on Maggie’s vision by being confident in it. Stephanie insists that Yuri would be lucky to be in business with Titan. Stephanie instructs Alex to stand firm and not give in.

John tells Marlena that helping Matt off the ledge wasn’t the only time her job became hazardous to her health. John brings up Roger Lombard, who Marlena remembers as the drunk driver who hit Kimberly. John adds that he wasn’t even the most dangerous member of his family as that was Stella, who thought Marlena was having an affair with her husband. They recall Stella throwing her in a pit and John jumping in to rescue her, which rekindled their love which they flashback to. John comments that he’d still be in the dark if not for her and he thanks God every day that he met her. John talks about the influence she had over the years on patients she never gave up on and calls her a real miracle worker. John brings up Marlena rehabbing a serial killer and Ben overcame his demons to become a real stand up guy thanks to her. Marlena says that Ben did all the hard work and she’s just proud of the man he has become. Marlena thinks back to counseling Ben. Marlena mentions hearing from Ben and that he’s over the moon to be becoming a father again. John says there is no question that Marlena deserves a little bit of credit for that happiness.

Yuri returns to the table and says he needed to clear his head. Alex says that while he was gone, he looked over the original contract and says the terms are pretty awesome so he thinks they should stick with it. Yuri says Alex got him pumped up for something more in your face. Alex argues that’s not always the best approach and he promises that taking Maggie’s approach and having patience will pay off in the long run. Yuri decides to go back to the Salem Inn and sleep on it. Alex thinks they need to lock it in tonight and celebrate. Yuri tells Alex that he made him realize that he doesn’t have enough information on Maggie, so he can’t make this decision yet. Alex tries to stop Yuri but Yuri thanks him for the drink and exits the Bistro.

Kate asks Dimitri again why he hasn’t made a ransom request as she doesn’t think he’s just keeping her around for the company. Dimitri responds that there are still many factors at play. Dimitri asks what good it would do for him to ask for a large sum of money as everyone would know he escaped prison and send him right back. Kate guesses he’s looking for immunity then. Dimitri calls it a bit more complicated than that.

Chad, Steve, and Harris arrive on the ship with their guns raised. Steve tells Chad to stick with him but Chad insists that he can handle himself and that it’s best to go separately. Harris tells him to text if he finds any sign of Kate as they each then head off in different directions.

Alex can’t believe this and begins to panic that he blew it. Stephanie tells him not to freak out since Yuri did not say no. Alex asks what he’s supposed to do. Stephanie instructs him to get him back at the table and not let him leave without signing. Stephanie calls this a temporary setback and completely normal for someone to second guess signing a deal this big. Stephanie encourages Alex not to freak out and to take a deep breath to regroup because this is not over. Alex agrees that he just has to keep pressing on and to convince Yuri that not signing with Titan would be a huge mistake. Stephanie says she will help and promises they will win this. Alex calls her a lifesaver and hopes tomorrow they can get this whole thing wrapped up so that Maggie never finds out about this blip. Alex then gets a call from Maggie, so Stephanie tells him to be cool. Alex answers the call and claims that everything went great. Alex admits Yuri didn’t sign right now but everything is good and he’s confident that he will sign tomorrow. Maggie then reveals that he’s not as she just spoke to Yuri and he decided that Titan was not a good fit after all, so the deal is off. Alex calls that insane and insists that he will fix this by going to the Salem Inn now to talk to him. Maggie thinks he’s done enough and reveals that Yuri told her that he had some doubts about her terms and that Alex got him all excited about a vision that was more in your face, so he doesn’t think she’s the right person to see it through. Alex calls Yuri wrong and says he’s going to fix this to make it up to her. Maggie tells him no and that this is the last straw. Alex asks Maggie not to be angry with him. Maggie responds that she’s not angry, just disappointed because he told her that she wouldn’t regret trusting him and promised he wouldn’t let her down, but he did. Maggie declares that she’s sorry to say that he’s fired.

Steve finds the room of the ship where Kate was being held and finds her ring on the floor which he calls a promising sign. The guard then catches him and asks what they have here.

Kate asks if Dimitri doesn’t want immunity for his crimes. Dimitri assures that he does but he also wants something else and he needs everything in place in order for him to achieve his goal. Kate hopes he’s not going after the Peacock again. Dimitri says no and what he’s after is much more personal. Chad then bursts in with his gun raised on Dimitri, surprising Kate.

John toasts to Marlena’s incredible career and says she has made a mark on the town and the entire world. John calls Marlena a true legend. They exit the Pub together. Marlena calls it a lovely and perfect celebration. John says there is nothing he loves more than celebrating his extraordinary wife. Marlena thanks him and they kiss. Marlena jokes that maybe 5000 isn’t such a crazy number after all. John wishes her a happy 5000 then as they walk off together.

Happy 5000 Episodes, Deidre Hall!
