Recap written by Michele and Cheryl

Alex went to see Marlena to see if there was any news about Kayla. She let him know that she hadn’t heard anything. He was hoping there would be some news so he could be redeemed. She wondered if he wanted another chance with Stephanie and he admitted that he did. He thought the therapy was helping, but he didn’t think he needed it anymore. Kristen tried to call Brady, but he wouldn’t answer the phone. She got upset and yelled. Someone told her to take it easy. It turned out to be Megan. Kristen noted how good she looked for a dead person. Megan told her what her secret was for looking good. She told Kristen about the crimes that led her to prison. Kristen realized she lied about Thomas Banks taking Kayla. She wondered who took Kayla. She knew it couldn’t be Stefano or Bo since they were both dead. She realized what happened to Megan and wondered Bo was alive. Megan didn’t trust her enough to let her know yet. She wanted to settle in at the prison. Brady told John about Stephanie mentioning Victor under hypnosis. He said that Victor didn’t know anything about Kayla’s kidnapping. Chad and Stephanie flew to Greece to check his properties. Brady hoped they weren’t walking into a trap. John wanted to help with the search, but he didn’t want to be away from Marlena. Brady understood that. He mentioned Chloe and what’s going on between her and Rachel. John warned him that cutting Kristen out will only make Rachel more resistant to Chloe.

Bo deleted Stephanie’s text to Steve. Hope was worried because she didn’t hear from Steve. She suddenly received a text from him. The text said he was with Stephanie. She texted him back about what’s going on with the search for Thomas. Harris and Hope talk about their dance and the kiss they shared at the tavern. There was a knock on the door so Harris left to change. Hope answered the door and it was Chad and Stephanie. Bo was upset about the text he just sent to Hope pretending to be Steve. He brought food for Steve and Kayla to eat. He demanded that Kayla get started on the prism. He said that Stephanie was on the island and Hope was searching so the time was winding down. Steve threw his stew on Bo and they fought over the gun. Hope mentioned that Steve texted her that he was with Stephanie. Stephanie told her that she hadn’t seen him since they left Salem. Harris thought they should go to the police station since that’s the last time he was seen. Chad told them they had a lead. He told them that they had a list of Victor’s properties. Hope said she would go to the station while Chad and Harris divide the properties. Chad and Stephanie left to start searching. Hope thanked Harris for his help with her family. He wanted to help her since she gave him back his life. Bo got the upper hand in the fight. He aimed the gun at Steve. Steve told him to pull the trigger. Bo agreed and shot at him. He was splashed with wine. Bo warned him that it would be his brain next time. Steve yelled at him for trying to be corrupt. Bo told him that he shot Kate. Steve and Kayla try to use his kids and grandkids to get him to change his mind. He thought that made what he was doing more important. He demanded that she get back to work. She said she needed a lab and equipment. He told her that he would get her what she needed. Steve told Kayla the fact that Bo didn’t shoot him proves that he isn’t completely different. He knew Hope and Harris would find them. Hope arrived at the police station. She showed the police a picture of Steve. The officer said the director of the ISA took him into custody. Hope showed him a picture of Shane. The officer told her that wasn’t the man who took him. She wondered who took Steve. Bo opened the door to Harris.

Days of Our Lives Update

Days of Our Lives logo

Update written by Joseph

Rafe is in the hospital, thinking back to hallucinating Duke the teddy bear. Rafe remarks on that being totally normal. Abe enters the room and says he heard his police commissioner was in the hospital. Abe asks Rafe what happened. Rafe responds that he honestly has no idea but he has his best detective on the case…

Chanel and Talia go to the bakery and find Jada with her team of detectives. Jada tells them that they can’t be here until they are done collecting evidence as they need to treat the kitchen as a crime scene. Chanel argues that it’s her Bakery. Jada says she understands. Chanel complains that she doesn’t need any more evidence as they all know who drugged her biscuits.

Eric is in his room and thinks back to he and Nicole hooking up while drugged. Eric questions what he and Nicole did. Sloan then shows up at his door and asks if this is a bad time again. Sloan comments that at least he’s alone and asks if he was expecting somebody else.

Nicole enters the living room of the DiMera Mansion and sits down as she thinks back to kissing Eric. EJ enters and asks for her thoughts.

Melinda is in the hospital. Stefan visits her with flowers. Melinda jokes that she’s not dead yet. Stefan asks how she’s feeling. Melinda responds that the only thing hurting is her pride as a few hours ago, she thought he really wanted her but it turns out that she was just delusional.

Li is at home, looking at a photo of he and Gabi on his phone and then to the photo of Gabi and Stefan in bed. Gabi then comes home. Li asks about the hallucinations. Gabi says her test results haven’t come back yet. Li asks if she’s sure she shouldn’t still be at the hospital. Gabi insists that she’s fine. Li wishes she called him to drive her home but Gabi says it’s okay. Li guesses she didn’t need him to stay at the hospital as she seemed to be in good hands with Stefan.

Melinda admits she’s still hazy on the details of what happened to her. Stefan asks what she does remember. Melinda has a vivid memory of trying to bash his head in with a remote and says she doesn’t remember what happened to her as it’s like she totally lost her mind. Stefan thinks he knows why as they went on a trip they had not planned.

EJ tells Nicole that he didn’t mean to interrupt as whatever had her attention must have been engaging. Nicole says she was just daydreaming and mentions being a little off lately but not knowing why. EJ reveals it was the breakfast biscuits and informs her of the rumor that they were dosed with a toxin that has caused erratic behavior all over Salem.

Eric tells Sloan that he’s really glad to see her as she hasn’t been responding to his texts. Sloan responds that she didn’t come for a visit but she thought she may have left her favorite scarf here. Eric doesn’t think so but tells her that she’s free to look. Sloan looks around and doesn’t see it. Eric says he’s sorry. Sloan says she’ll just get out of his way then and out of his life. Eric stops her and brings up what she said before. Sloan comments on finding him and Nicole tangled in the sheets and says there are a lot of things she wanted to say but didn’t. Eric brings up that Sloan suggested they were drugged and questions what would make her think that.

Chanel tells Jada that Sloan has been trying to destroy her life ever since she got to Salem and complains that she decided to come after her business by poisoning the customers. Talia thinks back to being the one who drugged the biscuits. Jada tells Chanel that she needs proof and mentions checking for fingerprints. Chanel and Talia point out that their prints would be there. Jada asks if anyone else was in there. Chanel assures that they do a thorough cleaning after they finish up. Jada notes that if Sloan’s prints do show up, she would have a lot of explaining to do but as a detective, she can’t afford to jump to conclusions. Jada adds that she hasn’t even started questioning anyone, but she thinks she needs to start with Talia. Talia asks why she would question her. Chanel asks if she seriously thinks it was her sister. Jada says of course not but she said the biscuit recipe was Talia’s, so she needs to know what she put in them to compare with the lab results. Talia says she usually keeps her recipes a secret but she can trust her sister so she will tell her. Jada says she appreciates that and turns on her recorder. Talia calls it a very simple recipe with whole wheat flour, baking powder, nonfat yogurt, sugar, kosher salt, honey, butter, and healthy organic buttermilk. Jada notes that it sounds healthy. Chanel argues that they shouldn’t make anyone sick. Jada says not regularly but they have been linked to multiple illnesses. Talia asks how bad it was. Jada responds that the hallucinations were the worst of the symptoms but some of the victims had it so bad that they were sent to the hospital.

Abe asks if Rafe thinks he was poisoned. Rafe thinks drugged would be more appropriate. Abe asks if he was personally targeted. Rafe doesn’t think so as apparently Gabi and Stefan had similar effects to his and it seems they all fell under a powerful hallucinogenic drug. Abe worries that if this is widespread throughout Salem, they are just beginning to learn the consequences.

Li tells Gabi that it was clear she wasn’t in her right mind earlier. Gabi acknowledges that she thought he was Stefan and recalls that she practically begged him to make love to her. Li confirms that she did, so Gabi asks why he didn’t.

Stefan tells Melinda that he only came on to her because he thought she was Gabi. Stefan tells her not to take it personal as she is a very desirable woman but he is hopelessly in love with someone else. Melinda apologizes for not handling it well which they laugh about. Melinda wants to prosecute the person who drugged them and asks if she’s right to assume it was EJ. Stefan reveals that it was not and for once, he thinks that EJ was innocent.

Nicole asks if the hallucinations happened to EJ too which he confirms. EJ admits at first he thought Stefan was responsible but it turns out he was a victim too. Nicole asks what it was like for EJ. EJ says that when he went to the office, it was like he stepped in to the looking glass. Nicole asks how weird it got. EJ jokes that he used the copy machine to produce an image of what some would say is his good side and when he tried to distribute it company wide, he was suddenly convinced that his e-mail password was EJ repeated a thousand times. EJ says it would’ve ended his tenure as CEO. Nicole asks if he has any copies. EJ jokes that she has a standing invitation to see it in person any time she likes. EJ then asks if Nicole did anything crazy while under the influence. Nicole admits that she actually did. EJ asks what she did. Nicole thinks back to being with Eric and then claims to EJ that when she was experiencing delusions, she went to Basic Black and cut off all the collars of the summer line because she was convinced it looked like something a priest would wear. EJ calls that odd but fortunate that she didn’t do something more extreme. Nicole agrees and says at least EJ didn’t call Wei Shin or make any rash decision concerning DiMera like when Stefan drugged him. Nicole notes that it seems EJ and Stefan have declared war again. EJ confirms that they have and assures that this time, he’s going to win decisively.

Stefan admits to Melinda that at first, he thought EJ was behind it as well but it turns out that EJ, Rafe, and a bunch of others also got sick and it turns out they were drugged by the biscuits at Sweet Bits. Stefan adds that the police are working on it now. Melinda insists that she will stay on them so that the person responsible will be punished. Melinda tells Stefan that he can go and adds that he can take his flowers with him because the charade is over. Melinda adds that he and Gabi can have their happily ever after, so he can give the flowers to her.

Li admits to Gabi that he was tempted to take her to bed, but he didn’t want it to happen like that because of some drug tricking the mind. Gabi points out that he hasn’t been above tricking her before. Li can’t deny that but says this was different and not real. Li adds that he loves her too much to take advantage of her like that. Li says he was so sure that if he had six months of marriage, he could make her love him again but the goal was never just to have her in bed, but to have her heart. Li say seeing how Gabi looked at him when she thought he was Stefan made him know in that moment that it was never going to happen.

Abe asks if Rafe is saying someone put the hallucinogen in to Chanel’s baked good. Abe questions who and why. Rafe says Jada is there now trying to figure that all out. Abe is relieved Rafe is doing okay but worries that this seems like more than a prank and could lead to some serious consequences. Rafe tells Abe that he knows and the drug caused him to do something he shouldn’t have but not something serious in the grand scheme of things. Abe asks if he’s going to tell him what he did that he shouldn’t have. Rafe agrees to tell Abe and reveals that he kissed Jada.

Chanel asks Jada about Rafe being in the hospital. Jada confirms he was taken in for observation but is expected to make a full recovery. Talia comments that Jada must be relieved because she knows how much Rafe means to her. Jada questions why that sounds like an accusation and states that Rafe is her boss and that’s it. Chanel asks what Rafe did when under the influence. Jada thinks back to Rafe kissing her. Talia then asks if Jada is okay. Jada tells them to just focus on the case. Chanel asks if Jada is going to arrest Sloan now or what.

Eric asks Sloan what would make her say that he and Nicole were drugged. Sloan points out that they were both babbling on like lunatics with Nicole saying she saw Eric dressed like a priest and Eric saying he saw Nicole in a bikini. Eric admits that he thought he did. Sloan calls it highly unlikely that they would get high together. Eric talks about still not knowing what caused him to hallucinate. Sloan reveals that it turns out that half the town got drugged by the biscuits at Sweet Bits. Sloan remarks that if it’s not bad enough that Chanel killed her parents, she had to go and poison the whole town. Eric asks if Sloan is sure that she’s the one who did this. Sloan asks who else and adds that Chanel will turn it around on her with everyone going along with it.

Talia doubts that Jada will find Sloan’s fingerprints since she likely wore gloves. Jada says they will see and points out that there were no signs of forced entry. Jada then notices the security camera which worries Talia. Chanel says she totally forgot that Paulina had them installed last month. Jada asks if she has access. Chanel confirms that she has an app on her phone which Jada notes would make things a lot easier. Chanel checks but finds there is no footage. Talia apologizes and says it’s all her fault because Chanel told her to turn them on when she locked up, but she must have forgot. Jada guesses the security cameras won’t tell them if anyone was there after Talia left.

Rafe assures Abe that he is fully aware of the new policy that prohibits relationships between supervisors and subordinates in the police department. Abe tells him it’s okay as he was under the influence of a substance that he did not willingly ingest. Rafe points out that rules are rules. Abe states that this will have to be documented. Rafe insists that nothing like this will ever happen again. Abe is glad to hear that and says he will talk to Jada. Rafe adds that he will too when he gets out. Abe trusts that Jada’s assessment of the situation will match Rafe’s. Rafe says he would assume so. Abe imagines they would all like to handle this discretely which Rafe confirms. Rafe adds that someone else also witnessed the event and it was Sloan Peterson.

Eric points out that Sloan didn’t eat the biscuits. Sloan asks if he’s insinuating that she knew they were drugged. Sloan argues that she would never eat anything from Chanel or her family. Eric says he believes her. Sloan brings up that Eric also thought she trashed Paulina’s office. Eric assures that he believes that she didn’t because she said she didn’t. Eric says he’s just glad she is okay. Sloan tells Eric to save all his cares and concerns for Nicole. Sloan complains that Eric promised and swore to her that it was over between he and Nicole, but somehow they found their way back to each other.

Nicole asks if EJ is sure that things between he and Stefan won’t get out of control. EJ appreciates her concern but assures that he can handle his bastard brother. Nicole jokes that he’s technically a bastard too. EJ says Stefan will learn that the hard way. EJ adds that he appreciates having Nicole in his corner but he doesn’t want to spend all their time together plotting Stefan’s downfall. EJ tells Nicole that right now, she has his full attention. EJ kisses Nicole and then asks her what’s wrong.

Stefan tells Melinda that he’s sorry that all this happened to her. Melinda jokes that she’s sorry she tried to murder him. Stefan says maybe he had it coming. Melinda acknowledges that Stefan was always honest about why she was there and what he needed from her, while she was the one who wasn’t honest about her feelings. Stefan feels it was still insensitive to ask her to help him out in this way. Melinda comments that for a DiMera, he’s a pretty nice guy. Stefan jokingly tells her not to let that get around.

Gabi questions if Li’s new strategy is to get her to realize he’s suddenly this nice guy. Li says it’s not a strategy, he’s just facing reality. Li mentions talking to Wendy earlier before Gabi’s episode and he was going to tell her when she walked in that he’s giving up on chasing after her. Li declares that he’s letting Gabi go, so she’s free from their agreement, their marriage, and all of it, so she can be with the man she loves.

Nicole tells EJ that she’s sorry and guesses she’s still feeling loopy from the biscuits. Nicole says she’ll be fine and thinks she just needs a shower to try and clear her head. EJ tells her to do what she needs, so Nicole then heads upstairs.

Eric tells Sloan that he and Nicole are not together. Sloan says they could have fooled her. Eric points out that she said herself that they were not in their right minds. Sloan questions that they just happened to end up together. Eric states that they have history while Sloan says it felt like current events. Eric insists that what happened was a one time thing. Sloan questions why she should believe that. Eric argues that he and Nicole are not together and can barely tolerate each other, so it doesn’t change anything and he hopes it doesn’t change anything between he and Sloan. Sloan says whatever as it’s not like she’s his girlfriend. Eric points out that she came to apologize. Sloan says she was hurt because he made her feel like he didn’t trust her but admits she overreacted. Eric accepts her apology and hopes she will accept his. Eric hopes they can then go downstairs and have dinner. Sloan questions him wanting to have dinner after all of this and asks then what. Eric says they will see where it takes them.

Rafe explains to Abe that they called Sloan to the police station to examine her phone to see if she was sending threatening texts to Paulina and that’s when Sloan walked in on Rafe kissing Jada. Rafe would be surprised if Sloan didn’t use it against him. Abe calls it ironic because Sloan is probably responsible for the kiss even happening. Rafe asks if Abe thinks Sloan drugged the biscuits. Abe responds that they both know someone is targeting Chanel’s bakery and Sloan is the most likely suspect.

Chanel tells Jada that she doesn’t need security footage to know that Sloan is the rat in their kitchen. Talia points out that they still don’t have any proof. Jada declares that until they find something to connect Sloan to the biscuits, there’s nothing she can do. Chanel complains that Sloan is ruining her life. Jada tells them to keep their distance from Sloan and let her do her job. Jada promises to find who did this and bring them to justice.

Stefan asks Melinda if she’s sure she’s going to be okay. Melinda assures that she’ll survive and tells Stefan to go before people get the wrong idea about them. Stefan doesn’t care what other people think and says he has seen a different side of Melinda through all of this. Stefan admits she’s pretty cool, fun, and attractive. Stefan adds that some guy will be very lucky to have her in his life for real. Melinda thanks him and tells Stefan to go be with the woman he loves because there’s no reason for them to be apart anymore. Stefan agrees now that Li knows everything.

Gabi questions Li letting her go and admits she’s surprised since he spent a year doing everything he could to hang on to her. Gabi thought he would try to punish her when he learned the truth about her and Stefan. Li admits he was angry, but mostly hurt, and it’s obvious to him that she doesn’t regret it which Gabi confirms. Li responds that he has lots of regrets. Li says he was groomed to be a success at business for his whole life and to be cold, calculating, and take what he wants but he never learned the personal side. Li is afraid in his pursuit of Gabi and desperation to hold onto their relationships, he used tactics better suited for a hostile takeover than a marriage. Li declares that the worst part is that he hurt Gabi, but despite all of that, he hopes she knows that he really did love her. Gabi admits that she knows he did and that she hurt him too by agreeing to honor their marriage for six months which she did not do. Li understands she’s trying to be with the man she loves and keep ahold of the DiMera shares. Gabi asks if he can blame a girl for wanting to have it all. Li guesses they have that in common. Li declares that he will stop fighting for them but he will never stop believing they could’ve been good together. Gabi asks if the deal is off then which Li confirms. Gabi then removes her wedding ring and hands it back to Li.

Stefan thanks Melinda again for her help with EJ. Melinda reminds Stefan that he and Gabi both owe her one and when the time is right, she has every intention of collecting on that debt.

Gabi packs her bags and informs Li that her lawyer is starting to draw up divorce papers. Li says it should be a smooth process which Gabi says she appreciates. Li points out that they did have some really good times together. Gabi agrees and says she would like to look back on those times fondly. Gabi asks if Li would consider letting her keep his DiMera shares. Li says hell no. Gabi says it was worth a shot and then exits the apartment.

Jada visits Rafe in the hospital and asks how he’s feeling. Rafe says he’s doing fine. Abe asks how Jada is feeling. Rafe informs her that he told Abe what happened between them while he was under the influence of drugs. Jada says Rafe was not in his right mind, end of story, and wants to talk about the case. Rafe asks for the update. Jada notes that Chanel’s security cameras were not on last night but she did get a call from the lab, confirming that what was in Rafe’s system as well as Gabi’s and Melinda’s all matched something that was in the biscuits. Rafe asks what it was. Jada reveals it was a strong hallucinogen that they have not seen before. Jada adds that Chanel did not put it in her own batter, so someone is trying to destroy Chanel and her bakery. Rafe adds that they don’t care who they hurt to do it.

Chanel tells Talia that she turned on the security cameras so maybe Sloan will return and they will bust her this time. Talia apologizes for not turning them on last night. Chanel tells her not to worry and hugs Talia. Chanel promises that Jada will find out who did this and they will make them pay.

Sloan tells Eric that it’s not fair because she can’t say no to him. Eric calls that one of his favorite things about her. Eric suggests she go get them a table while he showers and he’ll be down in a minute. Sloan then exits. Eric gets a call from Nicole, who says she was just calling to make sure they were on the same page about what happened. Nicole mentions that she didn’t tell EJ and she doesn’t want him to know so it has to be their little secret. Eric agrees. Nicole is glad they could come together on this. Eric asks if there’s anything else. Nicole says that’s it and tells him to have a great day as they hang up. Nicole then heads in to her room while EJ comes out from his, having overheard her on the phone.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Seeing giant bears.

I heard my commissioner was in the hospital, babe. So what happened, Val? Honestly, I have no idea, but I have my best detective on the case.

Oh my God. What is all this? I’m sorry. You girls can’t be in here until we’re done collecting evidence. We need to treat this kitchen as a crime scene. Okay, but this is my bakery. I understand that. Okay. Then you should also understand that you don’t need any more evidence. We all know who slipped those drugs into my biscuit.

Oh, Erica, I want you so much. You are all I want. Nicole. Nicole, what did we do?

Um,

Is this a bad time? Again?

See, you’re alone. At least maybe you were expecting somebody else.

Your thoughts.

Hey. Oh, it’s you. Yep, it’s me. These are for you, Lil’s. I don’t think I’m dead yet. No, you’re very much alive. How you feeling? Anything hurt? No thing hurting is my pride. A few hours ago I thought you really wanted me. Turns out I was just delusional.

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

How are you? Did they say what was causing the hallucinations? They took some blood, but the, uh, test results haven’t come back yet. You sure you shouldn’t still be at the hospital? I’m fine. I started to feel better as soon as they hooked me up to the iv. You didn’t drive yourself home, did you? I wish you would’ve called me.

It’s okay. Really?

Oh, I guess you didn’t need me to stay with you at the. It seemed like you were in good hands. Stephan. You mean the real Stephan?

I admit, I I’m still hazy on the details of what happened to me. I must have been asleep when the doctor came in. So, um, what, uh, what do you remember? Uh, well, I have a vivid memory of trying to bash her head in with an ashtray. It was a remote. Oh, smoking can be hazardous to your health. I, I don’t know what happened to me.

It’s like I totally lost my mind. Yeah, me too. I, I think I know why. You and I went on a little trip we hadn’t planned ej. Hi, I, I didn’t mean to interrupt. Whatever. Had your attention must have been quite engaging. Yeah, I was just daydreaming. I’ve been a little off all day and I’m not sure why. Those biscuits are the culprit.

I’m sorry. A rumor has those yummy little confections were spiked with a toxin that has caused erratic behavior all over the cell.

What? Well, I’m really glad to see you. You haven’t been responding to my text. Yeah, I didn’t come here for a visit. So what brings you by. I, um, I thought I might have, um, left a scarf here. It’s my favorite. Well, I don’t think so, but you know, please feel free to look. Uh, no. Yeah, I don’t see it. I’m sorry. No worries.

Well, I’ll just get out of your way. And out of your life. Sloan, please wait. What is it about what you said before? Before when? Before I found you and Nicole tangled in those sheets right there. Oh, yes. But believe me, there was a lot of things that I wanted to say that I didn’t, and I appreciate that. But you suggested that Nicole and I must have been drugged.

What would make you think that?

Sloan Peterson has been trying to destroy my life since the minute she got to Salem. She tried to have me thrown to jail, and when that didn’t work, now she decided to come after my business by poisoning the customers.

Chan. If Sloan did this, then we will arrest her. But before that can happen, I need proof what proof the woman is a psycho. Well, let’s see if any prints turn up. Uh, well, you’re gonna find my prints, of course, and mine. Do you know if anyone else has been in this kitchen? Talia and I were alone in here last night, and we always do a thorough cleaning after we close up shop.

So if we find a new prints Sloans, if we find Sloan’s prints, then she’ll have a lot of explaining to do. But as a detective, I cannot afford to jump to any conclusions. I haven’t even started questioning anyone, but I think I need to start with you.

Wait, why would you question me? You don’t seriously think your sister would? Of course not. But you said that the recipe for the biscuits for Talia, so I need to know what you put in them so I can compare them to the lab results. Alright. Well, I usually keep my recipes a secret, but I think I can trust my own sister.

So yeah, of course. I’ll tell you. I’d appreciate that. Okay. If I record you? Yeah, fine. No problem. Um, it’s actually a very simple recipe. Wheat flour, baking powder, not fat. Yogurt, sugar, kosher salt, honey butter, and a pour of healthy organic buttermilk. Hmm, sounds healthy. You know, the biscuits might raise your cholesterol, but they shouldn’t make anyone sick.

Well, not under regular circumstances, but these Biss were linked to multiple illnesses. How bad was it? Well, the hallucinations were the worst symptoms. Some of the victims experienced it so bad that they were sent to the hospital.

You think you were poisoned? I think drugged would be more appropriate. Were you personally targeted? I don’t think so. Apparently Gabby and Stephan had a similar experience to mine. Seems like we all fell under the effects of a powerful hallucinatory drug, but this is widespread throughout Salem. We’re just beginning to learn the consequences.

You know, when you were here earlier, it was pretty clear that you weren’t in your right. No, I wasn’t. I, I was convinced that you were stuffing and from what I remember, I practically begged you to make love to me. You did. So why didn’t you

like I attempted to explain, Before we’ve tried to claw my eyes out. Oh, I only came onto you because I thought you were Gabby. And then we got into bed and you realized it was just little old me. Don’t take this personally. Ugh. Melinda, you are a very desirable woman. I just happen to be hopelessly in love with somebody else.

Yeah, that. Much as obvious to me now, like, and I apologize for not handling it well. It’s kind of an understatement, huh? Yeah, little bit. She thought you were gonna kill me at one point. I don’t think I would’ve taken it that far. Mm. But it does seem like you might have a good case for saw and battery emphasis on the.

You’re not gonna press charges, are you? No. Besides, I think the, uh, DA will decline to prosecute. Uh, I appreciate that. Mm-hmm. There is one person that the DA sure as hell is gonna prosecute person who drugged us. Yeah. Am I right to assume that it was ej? No, actually it’s, it’s not for once. I actually think my brother is innocent.

It happened to you too, the hallucinations? Mm-hmm. I must admit, at first I thought Stephan was the one responsible for the poisoning that he’d come after me, but as fate would have it, my brother was a victim. Okay, so what was it like for you after you ate the biscuits? Well, uh, when I stepped into the office, it was if I suddenly stepped through the looking la ooh, how weird did it get?

For starters, I used the copy machine to produce a rather personal image of what some would say is. Good side. Wow. That is your good side. Mm-hmm. Furthermore, when I tried to distribute the rendered copy, uh, company wide, I, um, I suddenly was convinced that my email password was letter E and the letter J all in caps repeated over and over again 1000 times.

Oh, and that’s not your password. No. No, it’s not. And that would’ve been quite a public relations disaster. And would have ended. No pun intended. My tenures co. C o Oh, I don’t know if it would’ve been that bad, but, uh, Hey, you got any, uh, extra copies now? Why would you want to fact simile when you have a standing invitation to see it in real life?

Oh, ah, I will, I will definitely keep that in mind. Mm-hmm. So tell me, do you do anything crazy while under the influence? Oh, Actually I did.

So what did you do while under, under the Influence? I hope you didn’t embarrass yourself as much as I did.

Here you go. Oh.

Actually,

when I was experiencing the delusions, I went to basic black and I cut off all the colors of the samples for the summer line. The colors? Yeah, because apparently I was convinced that it looked like something a priest would wear. Ah, that is definitely. Huh. But fortunate you didn’t do anything more extreme.

Yes. Very fortunate. But at at least you didn’t call way shin or make any other rash decision having to do with Humira. Right? Right. Like I did when Stephan drug me. Exactly. And speaking of whom, it, it sounds like the two of you have declared war again. Yes, we have. And this time I’m going to win decisively.

You know, initially yes, I thought it was e j’s handiwork, but from what I hear, EJ and Rafe and a whole bunch of other people got sick too in the working theory is that everybody was drugged. I’m eating the biscuits at Sweet Bits. The biscuits. The biscuits. Really? Yeah. So the Saban PDs working on it now.

For better or worse. Oh, I’ll stay on them. The person who did this will be punished accordingly. I don’t doubt that. And now you can go. Um, and please feel free to take your flowers with you. Why would I do that? I brought them for you. Come on, the char is over. Stephan. You and Gabby can have your happily ever.

So give the flowers to her.

Well, I don’t have to tell you, I was sorely tempted to take you to bed, but I didn’t want it to happen like that cuz of some drug tricking the mind. Let’s be honestly, you haven’t been above tricking me before. I can’t deny that, but no, this was, this was d. It wasn’t real and I love you too much to take advantage of you like that.

Really, really, you know, I was so sure that if I just had six months of marriage to you of, of living together, that I, I could make you love me again. But the goal was never just to, to have you in my bed, is to have your heart and. Seeing the way you looked at me when you thought I was Stephan,

I just, I knew in that moment that it wasn’t gonna happen. Not today, not ever.

Are you saying that you think that someone put that hallucinogen into Chanel’s baked goods now? Who? Why? Well, Jada’s over there right now trying to figure that all out. Well, I am relieved. You’re doing okay. Thanks. But this seems like more than a prank, this could alleged to some serious consequences.

Yeah, believe me, I know. Although the drug did, uh, cause me to do something that I shouldn’t have, albeit not so serious. I mean, On the grand scheme of things, Uhhuh. Okay. Are you going to tell me what you did that you shouldn’t have? Sure. Yeah. I’ll tell you,

I kissed Jada.

So your boss, Rafe, he was one of the people in the hospital. Yeah. Commissioner Hernandez. Phil Ill, and was taking there for observation. How’s it gonna be? Okay. Yeah. He’s expected to make a full recovery. Wow. You must feel relieved. I know how much he means to you. Why does that sound like an accusation?

I’m just saying he’s my boss. That’s it. Okay. So, uh, what did he do? I mean, when he was under the influence

ti. Huh? Are you okay? You look a little warmer. Yeah. Yeah. I, uh, it’s kind of warm in this kitchen. Sure. Look. Can we, can we just focus on the case, please? Okay. Now that you’re done questioning us, are you gonna arrest Sloan Peterson or what?

You’re sitting, Nicole and I could have been drugged. What would make you say that? Uh, well, for starters, the both of you kept babbling on like a couple of lunatics. I mean, she said she saw you dress as a priest. And you said you saw her in a bikini? Yeah, and I thought I did. Mm-hmm. Well, look, maybe I’m being too generous, but it seemed highly unlikely that the two of you would intentionally get high together.

Well, until you said that, I still couldn’t figure out what caused me to hallucinate. I still don’t. I do. Yeah. Turns out half of town got sick off those baked goods from Sweet bits. Sweet bits. Remember those biscuits, you kept pushing on me. They were tainted. As if it’s not bad enough. Chanel killed both my parents.

She’s gotta go and poison the whole town. You’re sure that she’s the one who did this? Come on. Who else? And you know she’s gonna turn this around on me and the whole town’s gonna go along with this.

I highly doubt you’re gonna find Sloan’s prints in here. I mean, don’t you think she would’ve been smart enough to wear gloves? We’ll see. I did note that there were no signs of forced. Wait, you security cameras. What? Oh my God, I, I totally forgot. Yeah, mama. And insisted that she have her guys come install them like last month.

You can access them. Yeah. Yeah. I have an app on my phone. Well, that would make things a lot easier now, wouldn’t it?

Okay, let’s see. Date yesterday. Time. Oh no, Chanel. I’m so sorry. It’s all my fault. How is this your fault? There’s no footage from last night because she told me to turn it on before I locked up. But I must have been so excited about dinner with you and your mom that I must have forgotten. I guess the security cameras won’t tell us if anyone was here.

After Talia left,

before you lay into me, let me again assure you that I am fully aware of the new policy that prohibits romantic relationships between supervisors and subordinates at Salem pd. It’s okay, Ray, you are under the influence of a substance that you didn’t willingly ingest. Yes. By rules or rules, yes, they are.

And this will have to be documented per policy. Of course. And I want you to know nothing like this will ever happen again. Well, I’m glad to hear that. And I’ll talk to Detective Hunter as will I, as soon as I get outta here and back on. And I trust that, uh, that her assessment of this situation will match yours.

I would assume so. And I imagine that we all would like to handle this discreetly. Yes, I would definitely like that as hopefully We’ll, detective Hunter, however, there was. Someone else who witnessed the event. Someone saw you kissing Jada. Yeah. Not just someone, Sloane Peterson.

Okay. Why are you looking at me like that? I was just, well, you didn’t eat any of those biscuit. Yeah, I didn’t eat any Are you insinuating I knew the biscuits were drugged. No, I was just thinking that because Eric, honestly, I would never eat those biscuits because I would never eat anything from that girl or her family.

I mean, you believe me, right? Yes. You know, cuz you did. He did, um, suggest that I trashed plaintiff’s office evil. I asked and you answered, you said you had nothing to do with. You didn’t vandalize her office or send her threatening texts, and I believe you. You sure? Yes. I’m sure you said you didn’t need any of those biscuits.

I’m just glad you’re okay. That’s sweet, Eric. But you can save all your cares and concerns for Nicole. Wait, Sloan, wait. No, you promised me. You swore to me it was over between you two and somehow you find your way back to one another.

Are you sure? The thing between you and Stefan isn’t gonna get outta control. I appreciate that. You are concerned for me, but I can handle my Ba of brother. Hmm. Technically aren’t you a bastard too? Damn, rod. I am. And Ste is going to learn that the hard way. Look Nicole, I appreciate having you in my corner.

I really do. Like I established before, I don’t want to spend all our time together plotting my brothers down for, so right now you. Have my full attention.

What’s

Linda? For what it’s worth, um, I’m sorry. All this happened to you. I appreciate it and I’m sorry I tried to murder you. Oh, maybe I had it coming. No, you didn’t. You were always honest about. Why I was there and what you needed from me. I was the one who wasn’t honest about my feelings to, to you or to myself.

Well, it was still insensitive of me to ask you to help me out in this way. You know, for a demira, you’re a pretty nice guy. Oh, don’t let that make its way around. Oh.

Is this your new strategy? That kept me to think that suddenly you’re this nice guy. It’s not a strategy, just facing reality. Talked to Jing Wen earlier before you had your episode, I was going to tell you when you walked in, tell me what I’m giving. I’m chasing after you. Gabby. You are giving up. Yeah, I’m letting you go.

You’re free. From our agreement, from our marriage, from all of it. You can be with the man you love.

I am, I’m sorry, I, I guess I’m still feeling a little loopy from whatever was in those biscuits. You weren’t feeling well? No. I’ll be fine. I think I just need to go upstairs, take a shower and try to clear my head. Of course. Do what you need to.

Nicole and I are not together, could fool me. You said yourself. We were not clear minded. It was just random that the two of you ended up in bed together. I don’t deny that we have history feels more like current events. Okay. What happened here was a one-time thing. And why should I believe that? Because Nicole and I are not together.

Even when we’re clearheaded, we can barely tolerate each other. That doesn’t change anything for you or for her? Both. And I’m hoping this doesn’t change anything between you and me. Whatever. Like it’s not like I’m your girlfriend. So you keep saying, but you came here earlier to apologize. Correct? Look, I was hurt.

Okay. Because you made me feel like you didn’t trust me with the whole pulling and Chanel thing, and, but yes, I overreacted then. Yes, I accept your apology as I hope that you will accept mine. And what I’d really like to do is for us to go downstairs and have dinner together. You wanna have dinner after all this dinner?

Yes. And then what? And then we’ll see where it takes us.

So we called Sloan into the station so we could examine her phone. Sincere. She’s the one sending those threatening texts to Paulina. Yes. And that’s when she walked in on you kissing Jada Pat timing, huh? Yeah, he could say that, especially considering Sloan’s insistence that she’s innocent and the victim of police harassment.

You think she’s gonna use this against you? I’d be surprised if she didn’t. Yeah. It’s ironic. Sloan is probably responsible for that kiss even happening. So you think that she’s the one who put the drug in the biscuits? Well, we both know that somebody’s targeting, she knows bakery Sloan is the most likely suspect.

Look, I don’t need surveillance footage to know that Sloane Peterson is the rat in our. Only rides are smart and we still don’t have any proof. She’s right, Chanel. Until we find something that connects Sloane to those biscuits, there’s nothing I can do. Damn, that bitch is ruining my life. I understand. But for now, both of you need to keep your distance from her.

Let me do my job. And I promise you, we will find who did this and bring them to justice.

You sure you’re gonna be okay from the poisoning or from you trampling on my heart. Both. I’ll survive and goun. You don’t want people to get the wrong idea about us, do you? I don’t care what other people think and I have to say. Through all this, I got to see a different side of you, Melinda, the woman, as opposed to the da.

And I have to say, you, uh, you’re pretty cool and fun and attractive, and some guy one day is going to be very lucky to have you in his life. For real. Well, thanks. And now you should go be with the woman that you love. There’s no reason for you guys to be a part anymore. Right? That’s right. Now that Lee Shin knows everything.

You are letting me go. You seem surprised. Of course. I’m surprised you’ve spent a year doing everything you can to try to hang on to me. I. I just thought that when you knew the truth about stuff and I, yes. I thought you’d tried to punish me. Well, I can’t deny that I was angry, but mostly hurt. It’s obvious to me that you don’t regret it.

I don’t.

Well, I have regrets. Lots of them. You know, my, my whole life I was groomed to be the success at business, to be cold and calculating and take what I want, but I, I never learned the personal side, and I’m afraid that, In my pursuit of you and and desperation to hold on to our relationship, I used tactics that were better suited for a hostile takeover than a marriage.

And the worst part is that I hurt you.

But despite all. I hope you know I, I really did love you.

I know you did, and yeah, I, I hurt you too. I, I made an agreement to honor our marriage for six months, and I did not honor that

you’re trying to be with the man you. And keep ahold of the Demer shares. Can you blame a girl for wanting to have it all?

Guess we have that in common, right? Yeah. Yes, we do. Well, I’m gonna start fighting for. But I’ll never stop believing that we could have been good together. We were good together. Right. You were so, uh, heels off,

deals off.

Thanks again for your help with me and e. You’re welcome. And now that you and Gabby have joined forces to take over the world, I need to remember one thing. All right? You both owe me one. And when the time is right, I have every intention of collecting on that debt.

I texted my lawyer, she’s starting to draw up divorce papers. Yeah. Don’t tell mine that this should be a smooth process. I appreciate that. We did have some really good times together, right? Yeah, for sure.

You know, since we did have good times and I’d like to look back on them fondly,

Maybe, maybe you consider letting me keep your Demari shares.

Hell no

worth the shot.

How are you feeling? Bossun? Doing fine. Thanks. And how are you feeling? Me? Yeah. I told the mayor what happened between us while I was under the influence of drugs. Okay. Well, I’m sure re explained to you that he was not in his right mind and a story. Hmm. So can we just, um, talk about the case now? Let’s do it.

What’s the. Oh, well, I just came from sweet bits and unfortunately Chanel security cameras were not engaged last night. Oh, that’s too bad. Yeah, but the lab called me on my way here. And the drugs found in your system as well as the DA’s and your sisters all matched something that were in those biscuits.

Okay, cool. What was it? A strong hallucinogen, something they hadn’t seen before. Needless to say, Chanel did not put that in her own batter. Meaning someone’s trying to destroy Chanel and her bakery and they don’t care who they hurt to do it.

Well, I turned on the security cameras. Better leave than never. Right. Hey, maybe Sloan will return to the scene of the crime and we can buster this time. Chanel, I am so sorry if I would’ve just turned on those damn cameras. Stop blaming yourself. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve forgotten to turn them on.

Look, I know you’ve got my back. Your sister’s gonna prove who did this and we are gonna make them pay.

This isn’t fair. Because you know, I can’t say no to you. It’s one of my favorite things about you. Hey, why don’t you go downstairs, grab us a table. I’ll take a quick shower and be down there in a minute,

Nicole.

Nicole, are you there? I’m, I’m here. Uh, I was just calling to make sure that we were on the same page about what happened and after we talked when Sloan left, we decided that yeah, we were both out of our minds because of some kind of drug. Right. And I, I didn’t tell ej and I don’t want him to know, so it has to be our little.

Agreed. Okay. Well, I’m, I’m glad we could come together on this. Anything else? No. No. That, that, that’s it.

Well, um, yeah. Have a great day. Yeah, you too.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Oh yeah. What the hell are you thinking that?

All right, let’s have it. Kristen, what is it that’s so damn important. What is it that you got to tell me that I’ve got to hear? Actually, it has to do with my long lost sister Megan hath. And her latest partner in crime.

Thomas Banks in the flesh. Now what are you two crazy kids doing here? What are we doing here? We’re looking for you. You maniac to find out what you did with my mother.

You sure? This is definitely not the man who took Steve Johnson to custody. No, it was not him. I had no way of knowing that he was not who he said he was. Okay. He showed me his badge. He told me he wanted to see the evidence from Wilhelm Ralph’s room. I know the rule of is under investigation, so I gave him the prisons.

Wait, prisms, you gave this man the prisms? Yes. He took them. Look, I’m sorry. Like I said, I, I, right. I, I, I understood. But then what? He just walked out of here. He left with the evidence and Steve, Look, I, I did not know that he was what he was going to do. Hold on, hold on. Is this the man who is posing is Shane Donovan.

Wait a minute. This, this, this can’t be, I’m sorry, but it, it is your, him, your hopefully husband. I don’t know what the hell you’re talking about. So if you excuse me. No, hold on. Hold on. It’s you. I know it’s you. I’ve seen a lot of pictures. You’re Bo Brady,

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

Xander. What the hell is wrong with you? What the hell is wrong with me? What the hell is wrong with you? That’s That’s a breakfast biscuit, Chloe. Yeah, it was until you annihilated it. What the hell? You can’t eat either. It’s crazy. I’m crazy. You are crazy. I’m about that biscuit this morning and I’ve been running around all day waiting to eat it and I had a million errands and now you’ve ruined it.

Unless you want your million and first errands to be a trip to University Hospital, leave the bloody biscuits alone. The hospital? Yeah. Oh. Have you not heard the news? Someone dosed those biscuits with hallucinogen. Anyone who eats one has seen pink elephants or worse. Wait. Seriously? Huh? Oh my God. Oh my God.

I almost ate that. Hey, look, I came along when I dead. Yeah. Thanks. Uh, so do they know who would lace those biscuits with drugs? I mean, who would do something like that? They don’t know they’re investigating, but. It’s a truly evil thing to do. Yeah, definitely. I mean, never did this. It’s clearly dangerous. Ah, wow.

Okay. Uh, well I guess the coffee cart probably still has some bagels though. They’re usually stale. Ah, wait a minute. Wait. Forget the stale bagels. Can’t let me treat to lunch. Oh, oh, oh. Uh, I think I might be hallucinating. Did you just offer to buy someone lunch? Who’s not you? I am a working man, man. I can forward to be generous.

Just, um, don’t let go around.

Megan Hathaway, what about her? Well, it turns out that she is now a fellow guest here at Statesville. And, and well, we start talking and, uh, we got to know each other a little bit. Wow. That’s fascinating. I don’t care. Kristen, why is this of the utmost importance? I was getting to that. You see, she gave me some details about the deals she made so she wouldn’t get locked up in a supermax Isa dungeon for eternity.

Kristin, I already know all of this. Megan Hathaway told the police that it was her henchman Thomas Banks that was responsible for Kayla’s kidnapping. Right. Look. So unless you is that I’m not so sure it was him.

Yeah. Well, I’ve heard. Two. Michael Harris. No, no. Scratch that. Reverse it. Harris Michaels, how do you know who I am? We have a mutual acquaintance, Megan Hathaway. I gotta tell you, man, she’s extremely proud of how she orchestrated your dissent. How did she put it? The corrupting of a good man, a Navy Seal with a impeccable record turned into a simple hired gun.

But even with all her conditioning, she missed something. It was soft side and the real fly in the ointment. Hope Brady,

who is that? His name is Thomas Banks. You have reason to believe he’s involved in all of this? No. Clearly I would not forget a face like that. It was not him. Okay. Then if it wasn’t Thomas Banks impersonating Shane Donovan. Then what did this man look like? Describe him to me please, in detail.

Now, isn’t that better than a crust, your breakfast biscuit? Well, I’m sure if that biscuit hadn’t been laced with the hallucinogens, it would’ve been divine, but this chatter is always delicious, so thank you. You’re welcome. It was at least I could do after that snack, attack outside, but it does occur to me that we are back where you bested me in dance Bested.

Okay. I am sorry, sir. I believe I, I wept the floor with you. Yes, you did. And it was quite humiliating actually. So maybe you’ll soothe my wounded ego by allowing me a rematch. Uh, well, since I’ve been doing a little dart technique research, I’m not sure that I would be able to soothe your wounded ego dart technique research.

Oh, yeah. It’s a whole thing. I mean, I learned it’s, it’s very important to lead with your elbow and then you use your sight line for your throwing. Can you use your dominant eye to look at the target while you aim? So, um, are you sure you’d like a rematch?

Well, now you’re fasty and I like it, but you’re gonna have to be just a little bit more specific, see and known a lot of mothers, off the top of my head, I just can’t remember what I did with heat. Is that really the game you’re gonna play? Banks game? I don’t even know the rules, Chad. Fine. Let me spell it out for you.

The woman you kidnapped is my mother, Kayla Johnson. And you are damn well gonna tell us where you took her. Sorry to disappoint you. You got the wrong dude.

Okay, so you are saying that you don’t think it was Thomas Banks that kidnapped Kayla? Based on what Megan was saying, I think it’s possible it could be someone else who, what are you saying, Megan? You’re saying that Bo Brady is alive.

I’ll tell you when you bring Rachel to see me, Kevin, you don’t. Is that what this is all about? Really? I should have known Kristen. Well, you can’t blame me for trying to use this information to my advantage. Kristin, you’ve never given me a reason to trust you. Why would you think that? I would think this is any.

You’re dangling some tidbit of information that I’m gonna find interesting. Just so you can see Rachel. Ready. I’m sorry, but you are really gonna want to hear this, not just you, everyone in Sailor. This news is so explosive and it’s gonna change a lot of people’s lives. Mm-hmm. I’ll think about it.

I don’t know how helpful my description will be. I mean, normally we have our sketch artist come in and draw a picture of Thep, but he’s working in another town. Okay. Please just. Something, anything. Does this man have any distinctive features? Scars, tattoos, tall, short, skinny. He was just pretty average looking guy.

Okay. Middle aged, brown hair, brown eyes, medium built. Sound like anyone you know.

Well, if you heard about me from, from Megan, maybe. She had something to do with bringing you back?

No, because when I, when I was in that lab, there was someone else in one of those polygenic tubes. But I never knew who it was,

but what Megan wanted most was those three prisms.

They were why she brought me under control, why she programmed me. Now, she didn’t tell me what she was gonna use ’em for, but I know that they had some healing properties that maybe they could be used to perform medical miracles. And now it all makes sense. She wanted to use the prisms to revive somebody in that cryogenic state, somebody that she left,

that somebody was you.

Unbelievable. It’s just unbelievable. Lemme see these darts. Have you got magnets in there or something? There are no magnets. I just happen to be extraordinary at this game. Yeah. But you’ve also been researching dart plane strategy behind my back, haven’t you? Uh, well, you were kind enough to warn me about those biscuits laced with drugs that would’ve had me saying pink offense or whatever.

So I will give you a handicap and for this next dart I. I’ll close my eyes. Oh, come on. You threw the first bullseye of your life last night with your eyes closed. Do you want the help or not?

Okay. Elbow sideline.

Did I nail it?

Yeah. You uh, you nailed it. All right.

All right, thanks. Hey, your boss Megan already told us that you’re the one that kidnapped you. Whoa. Whoa. No. Where’s your boss? Ele? I’m an independent contractor. Okay. I’m sure just like you looking for your mama, that’s why I followed you. You were following us. Oh yeah. You think it’s just a Wanka dance? We all ended up here.

I saw you in the hotel lobby and I knew you would take me to where I need to go now. Gimme the list. List. What list? I don’t have a list. Do you know anything? Now who? Who’s playing games? Blue ass. Huh? Who? I saw you talking, you were talking about all the places your mama could be. No. Give me the list now.

Before I get your fingers, you’re getting itchy. Hmm.

Costas, the man you just described today alone. I saw dozens of men that fit that same exact description. Yes. I’m afraid I just described half the population of Greece. Yes, you did. Look, as I said, the sketch artist is working in another town today, but I could call Ken. What about your security cameras?

May I see the footage? I’ll pull up the file. Thank you.

Oh my God.

That’s quite a narrative you’ve strung together. You do have a flare for the dramatic, it’s not really a narrative. I made up, I heard it from home. She told me how obsessed Megan was with you. Ah, yeah. Well, those feelings weren’t mutual. One of the many reasons I left that island. And you brought Kayla with you, right?

Why would I do that? Because she’s your sister.

Let me catch you up here. The rumor I heard is that this character by the name of banks kidnapped her. Yeah, yeah. No, I, I heard that. He just seems, I, I’m just curious. You, you don’t seem that really concerned about. How about your sister? Have you met Kayla? She’s tough. She knows how to take care of herself.

She always has. Right? So, so you’re saying that you and your sister were on the same island at the same time, and you left the island coincidentally around the same time, but you’re not together. What? Man, I, I didn’t even know she was on the island or why Megan brought her there. All I know is I was fed up with, Games.

And so I took off as fast as I could alone. Okay, I understand. But since I came all this way, uh, to find her. And since you have nothing to hide, I mean you wouldn’t mind if we took a look around together, would you? Yeah. Yeah. I kind of wouldn’t mind.

Oh my God. Are you okay? I dunno. Does this mean I finally get a point? Should you, should I pull it out? Yeah. No, no. Wait, wait, wait. Well maybe you should, I dunno if I want it, Eric. Wait, what if I punctured an artery or something? Right. If you punctured along, maybe I’ll deflate like a balloon. That’s that’s not how it works.

How do you know? Do they teach that in opera school? No. No, but you can’t walk around with a dart sticking out of your chest. What are we gonna do? I dunno. Well, unless you want to even me out. Ah, I guess we are taking a trip to University Hospital after all. Oh my God. Let’s get there.

Oh, all settled in, are you? Yes. Thank you. Although I had to evict my Sully from the bottom bunk, she wasn’t too keen on the idea, but I managed to convince her. I think once she gets back from the infirmary, I won’t have any further problems with her making good friends. Good for you. Mm-hmm. So, How’s Brady?

Brady? What do you mean? Oh, I think you know what I mean. I overheard your chat. Just now. You have to say you’re not very discreet. Ah, Megan. God, I was just talking and here I was thinking that we were on the precipice of a newfound sisterhood, talking about the good old day sharing secrets, boys drinking a bit of toilet wine together.

And yet, as soon as I turn my back there you are squawking to your man about me and about Bo Brady being alive. You know what? I actually didn’t say fine. Fine. I am sorry that I betrayed some sisterly confident. But I’m gonna level with you. The only thing that matters to me is my daughter and I will play any card.

I have to get a chance to see her. I completely understand Sister. But here’s the tiny problem with your little ski. You’re not holding any cards. I never said that Bo Brady was alive.

Nice meeting you and all, but we’re done here. So, Why don’t you run along home? Okay, wait. And if I don’t, what? Who are you gonna do? Are you really gonna shoot me?

Killing a military hero? Bad karma. So why don’t you just do what’s best for both of us and run along home? Now I’m gonna run straight to hope and tell her exactly what happened. And why would you do that? What? Why’d he sink? You know damn well she’s in love with you, and now knowing that you’re alive.

Come on. So this would be a selfless act. Selfless, yeah. You tell hope I’m alive. This budding romance of yours is abruptly over. So you ready to lose her?

The footage is gone. I, I don’t understand it. It’s all been erased. Well, how is that possible? I don’t know. Okay. I imagine it could be a problem inside the system cost us. Who else has. To the security footage. But you think somebody did this? Yes. That it was delivered? Yes. Yes. Absolutely. Okay. The man that left with Steve, did he say anything else?

Anything that Mike, give us a call about who he is.

A actually, yes. Now that you mention. Mr. Johnson did say something. What? What did he say? Please tell me. What did he say? Give me the list. Don’t piss me off. Okay, now. Okay, dude. Do it. Decide to give him the list. Get it. They’re getting itchy. Okay. She’s they real itchy. I think it’s in now. Hey, I think it’s in my purse.

Okay. No surprise. Okay. You go slow. Sorry. Slow. You know, since we’re here, I wanted to, um, I wanted to, uh, offer you my condolences. What the hell for you’re, um, your poor sister. She, uh, you know, she passed away a few months ago. Oh, you. Sister Mary Mara’s, your dad. Oh no, that’s a shame. Although she was a real pain in my ass.

I was sticking her nose in my business. No, not, I’m not Mar Mary Moira, your other sister, Susan. It was cute. What happened? That’s, um, it was, uh, very tragic accident. She was, Trapped in a car in it, and it, and it went over a cliff and it, uh, exploded. Oh no. Gosh, that’s just me, me, me now Sissy. She was a good girl.

You know, she didn’t deserve that. I always kind of thought maybe I wasn’t all bad because she was my sister and she was so good that maybe I had a little bit of good and a lot of bad, but just. A little bit of good. She didn’t serve that. It makes me sad. Makes me real sad. My fault says, sorry.

Hey, this Dr. So they just finished bandaging you? Yeah. Oh my. Are you okay? I’m fine. Doctor says it probably won’t even scar. I just pierced a muscle. Oh. Did they ask you how it happened? Well, he did ask if I was hopped up on biscuits, but I just told him that my friend isn’t the best dart player in the world.

He told me the police were on the way so I can make a report. Wait. You know that was an accident, right? I’m fucking dying. I’m joking. Ah, you are not funny. Sorry. It does make me wonder though, what if maybe unconsciously this isn’t some kind of retaliation on your part. Retaliation for that kiss last night, the non-consensual.

Oh yeah, that. Um, well, as annoyed as I was by it, I don’t think that it warranted a violent dart assault as long as you promise never to do it again. Well, I would cross my heart, but it’s a bit tender right now.

Even if you did have some pertinent information to share, why would you sell it off so cheaply for one measly visit with your daughter?

Maybe I didn’t make myself clear. My daughter means everything to me. And any chance I to see get it. I get it, I get it. But what your problem is is you think too small. Take a step back. Look at the big picture. The big picture. First and foremost, I went to a great deal of trouble to make sure that I was incarcerated here in states.

Now if you even suggest that I might have stretched the truth, then they are gonna ship me off to some black side in East Timbuktu, which will not exactly help you either.

So take some advice from your big sister, the two of us working together here. There is no limit to what we can accomplish. What are you talking about? You mean you want to objective numeral unal. Ever since I discovered that the rumors of a Sunday bar are greatly exaggerated here, I have no intention of staying here one minute longer than I absolutely have to,

and don’t think that I haven’t already started formulating a plan. So ask yourself, which sounds better? One measly visit with your. We’re spending the rest of your life with her outside.

Take some time to ponder on all of that before you make the biggest mistake of your life. The signs who’d believe you. Everybody knows Bo Brady is dead. How can a dead man kidnap his sister?

I have to say, being a criminal mastermind is exhausting. I need a cat now.

See you around sis.

Ah.

Shut off. Why didn’t you listen? You should have listened to. Reason come. I gonna listen if you shot off my ear. The hospital, but no, shut off. We’ll pat you off on the way to the police station. Okay. Mr. Johnson did say that the man claiming to be Director Donovan was not who he said he was. He did. He said that you just ignored it.

Hall Director Donovan was the man claiming to be the director of that. Said that Mr. Johnson was simply just trying to protect his own mo, that he was in fact the real con artist. Did Steve say anything else? Let me see. Yes, he was mumbling something as the man was escorting him out. Would I for the life of me?

I cannot remember what it was.

Okay. Well, thank you. Um, if you do happen to remember, or if anything else, Comes up, would you call me, please? Here’s my number.

I will do that.

Thank you.

Okay. Really Sure I understand this. You want me to be with hope? Yeah. Look, I am starting a whole new life without her and I’m a little sick of people trying to drag me back to that old life. Okay, so you’re just gonna let me go if what? I don’t say anything about finding you. Yeah. I mean, it’s best for both of us.

And if you think about it for hope too, she’s started a whole new life. She’s moved on with you and you guys, you, you have a good thing going. Why break her? Again, so she’s all yours. You get the girl, I get my new life without her win-win as long as you keep this little conversation of ours between us. So I’m, I’m supposed to pretend I never saw you.

Deceive hope and let her believe that her husband’s dead. Yeah, but the way I see it, you’re not really deceiving her. From my point of view. That husband is dead. So what do you say, commander? We got a deal.

Well now that my long lunch is almost turned into dinner, I should probably make an appearance to the paper. Hey, um, once I’m fully healed, any chance I can get a rematch, eyes wide open next time. Yeah. Wow. I’m surprised you would risk it. It’s a matter of honor at this point, isn. Oh, where? Fancy souvenir.

Oh my goodness. They kept the dart. Oh, we’re gonna need the full set if we’re gonna have that rematch, aren’t we? You know, I’m pretty impressed that you would be willing to come near me ever again while holding a dart. Well, you may be dangerous, Chloe. Scary, but uh, you do make up for it. And charm.

Alright, let’s have it ready. You actually came. I did to hear this supposedly explosive piece of information that you uncovered. Well, what is this big news that’s going to change everybody’s lives in Salem?

It turns out I was wrong. I’m sorry, what? Yeah, Megan was telling the truth. Thomas Pinks was the winner kidnapped Kayla

O. Excuse me, officer, you’re gonna want to book this man. He’s on the most wanted list. His name is Thomas Banks. Do you know him? No, but I’ve seen his picture. An uglier person. No, that’s not very nice.

Hey, any luck is a police station. Yeah, the back kind. Someone posing as Shane Donovan took Steve from the PD along with the pr. Any idea who, no. And the cop’s description was very vague and someone erased the security footage. How does that even happen? Well, I think whoever kidnapped, Steve erased it, obviously.

Uh, a real pro. And as Steve was being let out, he kept protesting, saying that this person wasn’t who he said he was. And the cop did nothing. He didn’t even question, he just slept This person, whoever he is, walk out with Steve and the prison.

What about you? Did you have any luck? Yeah, I, um, yeah, I started on the list. I, I went to Victor Kiki’s, uh, childhood Home. Oh,

Harris, did you find anything? So I’m supposed to pretend I never saw. Deceive hope and let her believe that her husband’s dead. Yeah, but the way I see it, you’re not really deceiving her. From my point of view, that husband is dead. So what do you say, commander? We got a deal.

So are we in agreement?

We are. Good man. You made the right decision.

I know. Uh, nothing at all. It was, uh, The place was deserted.

Update written by Joseph

Chloe sits outside the Brady Pub with a breakfast biscuit from the Bakery but Xander arrives and smacks it out of her hand, asking what the hell she is thinking and tells her that she can’t eat that.

Brady asks Kristen what is so damn important that she has to tell him. Kristen responds that it actually has to do with her long lost sister Megan Hathaway and her latest partner in crime.

Chad and Stephanie are confronted at the warehouse in Greece by Thomas Banks, who pulls a gun on them and questions what they are doing there. Stephanie responds that they came to find out what he did with Kayla.

Hope asks the cop at the Greece police department if he’s sure that Shane Donovan is not the man who took Steve in to custody. He confirms that it is not and that he had no way of knowing it wasn’t Shane since he showed him his badge and said he wanted to see the evidence from Dr. Rolf’s room. The cop adds that he knows it’s under investigation, so he gave the man the prisms which Hope questions. Hope asks if the man then just walked out of here which the cop confirms. Hope shows another photo and asks if this is the man who was posing as Shane Donovan.

Bo goes to leave the cabin right as Harris arrives at the door and they come face to face. Harris says this can’t be and questions if he is Hope’s late husband. Bo claims not to know what he’s talking about but Harris stops him and says he knows it’s him because he’s seen a lot of pictures. Harris identifies him as Bo Brady.

Chloe asks what the hell is wrong with Xander. Xander repeats that she can’t eat the breakfast biscuit and calls her crazy. Chloe argues that she just bought it this morning and was waiting all day to eat it while running errands and now he ruined it. Xander warns that unless she wants her next errand to be going to the hospital, she will leave those biscuits alone which Chloe questions. Xander realizes she hasn’t heard the news and informs her that someone dosed those biscuits with hallucinogens and are seeing pink elephants or worse. Chloe can’t believe she almost ate that. Xander says it’s good he came by when he did. Chloe asks if they know who laced the biscuits with drugs. Xander says they are still investigating as Chloe calls it a truly evil thing to do. Xander remarks that whoever did it is clearly dangerous. Chloe guesses she can get bagels from the coffee cart but Xander offers to treat her to lunch. Chloe jokes that she must be hallucinating. Xander says he’s a working man now so he can afford it but tells her not to let it get around.

Brady asks Kristen what about Megan Hathaway. Kristen informs him that Megan is now a fellow guest in Statesville and they just started talking to get to know each other better. Brady doesn’t care and asks why this is of utmost importance. Kristen explains that Megan gave her some details on how she avoided being locked up in an ISA prison. Brady responds that he already knows that Megan told the ISA that it was Thomas Banks who kidnapped her mother. Kristen states that she’s not so sure it was him.

Bo tells Harris that he’s heard about him too. Harris questions Bo knowing who he is. Bo reveals they have a mutual acquaintance in Megan Hathaway, who is extremely proud of how she orchestrated the descent of Harris. Bo recalls Megan saying Harris was a navy seal turned in to a simple hired gun and mentions Hope.

Hope tells the cop that she has reason to believe Thomas Banks is involved in all of this but the cop assures it was not him. Hope asks the cop to describe the man to her in detail then.

Xander and Chloe have lunch in the Brady Pub. Xander jokes that this is better than a crusty old breakfast biscuit. Chloe says the chowder is delicious and thanks him. Xander brings up that they are back where Chloe bested him at darts so he wants a rematch. Chloe talks about researching dart techniques and asks if he’s sure he’d like a rematch.

Thomas Banks tells Stephanie to be more specific because she knows a lot of mothers. Chad questions Thomas playing a game. Stephanie tells Thomas that the woman kidnapped is her mother, Kayla Johnson, and demands he tell them where he took her. Thomas responds that he’s sorry to disappoint but they got the wrong dude.

Brady questions Kristen saying she doesn’t think it was Thomas Banks that kidnapped Kayla. Kristen responds that based on what Megan was saying, she thinks it’s possible it could be someone else. Kristen flashes back to asking Megan if Bo Brady is alive. Kristen tells Brady that she will tell him when he brings Rachel to see her. Brady questions if that’s what this is all about and says he should’ve known. Kristen argues that he can’t blame her for using this information to her advantage. Brady argues that he’s never had a reason to trust her. Kristen insists that he’s really going to want to hear this and so will everyone in Salem because this news is so explosive that it will change a lot of peoples’ lives. Brady responds that he’ll think about it and hangs up.

The cop doesn’t know how helpful his description will be and says their sketch artist is working in another town. Hope asks him for anything and asks if the man had any distinctive features. He calls him a pretty average looking guy, middle-aged with brown hair, brown eyes, and a medium build. He asks if that sounds like anyone she knows.

Harris says if Bo heard about him from Megan, maybe she had something to do with bringing Bo back. Harris recalls someone else being in the lab in the cryogenic tube but he never knew it was, but what Megan wanted most was the three prisms and that’s why she programmed him. Harris adds that she never told him what the prisms were for but he knows they could be used for medical miracles and now it all makes sense. Harris states that Megan wanted to use the prisms to revive somebody she loved and that was Bo.

Chloe and Xander play darts. Chloe gets another bullseye and Xander can’t believe it. Chloe jokes with him and decides she’ll give him a handicap by throwing the next one with her eyes closed. Chloe does so, but ends up accidentally hitting Xander with the dart.

Chad informs Thomas Banks that his boss Megan already told them that he kidnapped Kayla. Thomas responds that no one is the boss of him and he’s an independent contractor. Thomas reveals that he followed them and calls it no coincidence that they are all here. Thomas says that he saw them in the hotel lobby and knew they would take him to where he needed to be. Thomas says to give him the list. Chad claims to not know anything about a list while Thomas asks who is playing games now. Thomas says he saw them talking about all the places where Kayla could be and demands the list now while holding them at gunpoint.

Hope tells the cop that she saw dozens of men that fit his description as he described half the population of Greece. The cop repeats that their sketch artist is working in another town but he can call him. Hope asks for the security camera footage so the cop pulls up the file.

Bo comments on the narrative Harris strung together. Harris explains that he actually heard it from Hope, who told him how obsessed Megan was with Bo. Bo responds that those feelings were not mutual and one of the many reasons that he left the island. Harris asks if Bo brought Kayla with him. Bo asks why he would do that. Harris points out that Kayla is his sister. Bo responds that the rumor he heard is that some character named Banks kidnapped Kayla. Harris questions Bo not seeming to care about his sister. Bo says that Kayla is tough and knows how to take care of herself. Harris questions Bo and Kayla both being on the island at the same time and coincidentally leaving the island around that time but not being together. Bo claims he didn’t even know Kayla was on the island or why Megan brought her there. Bo declares that he was just fed up with Megan’s games so he took off as fast as he could alone. Harris says he understands but he came all this way to find Kayla and if Bo has nothing to hide, he asks to take a look around but Bo stops him and pulls his gun on him.

Chloe panics about hitting Xander with the dart and asks if he’s okay. Chloe worries about pulling the dart out of his chest and questions what to do. Xander guesses they are heading to the hospital after all.

Megan returns to the visiting room and tells Kristen that she’s all settled in after having to evict her cellmate from the bottom bunk. Kristen jokes about Megan making friends. Megan asks her how Brady is. Kristen asks what she means. Megan reveals that she overheard Kristen’s chat just now. Kristen tries to explain while Megan says she was thinking that they were beginning a new sisterhood but as soon as she turned her back, Kristen is talking to Brady about her and Bo Brady being alive. Kristen apologizes for betraying some sisterly confidence but admits the only thing that matters to her is her daughter, so she will play any card she has to get a chance to see her. Megan says she understands but the problem is, Kristen is not holding any cards as she never said Bo Brady was alive.

Bo tells Harris that it was nice meeting him but they are done here and tells him to run along home. Harris asks if Bo is really going to shoot him if he doesn’t. Bo remarks that killing a military hero would be bad karma and tells Harris to just run along home. Harris threatens to go tell Hope what happened. Bo asks why he would do that. Harris argues that Bo knows damn well that Hope is in love with him and now she could know he’s alive. Bo questions this being a selfless act since telling Hope that he’s alive will end their budding romance. Bo asks if Harris is ready to lose Hope.

Hope and the cop find that the security footage is all gone and been erased. Hope questions who else had access to the security footage and thinks someone did it deliberately. Hope asks more about the man who left with Steve in hopes of finding a clue of who he is. The cop recalls that Steve did say something. Hope asks him to please tell her what he said.

Thomas Banks demands the list and warns them not to piss him off. Chad tells Stephanie to do what he says. Stephanie says the list is in her purse. Chad tells Thomas that he wanted to offer his condolences on his sister passing away a few months ago. Thomas thinks he means Sister Mary Moira but Chad clarifies that he means his other sister Susan. Thomas questions what happened. Chad calls it a very tragic car accident that exploded over a cliff. Thomas calls that mean and says Susan was a good girl who didn’t deserve that. Thomas says he always thought he wasn’t all bad because Susan was his sister. Thomas admits that makes him sad and starts to get emotional so Chad offers a napkin but then throws it in his face and grabs him. They struggle over the gun until it goes off.

Chloe checks on Xander in the hospital after the doctor finishes bandaging him up. Xander tells her that he’s fine and just pierced a muscle. Xander jokes about her not being the best dart player. Xander wonders if this is some kind of retaliation for when he kissed her last night. Chloe admits she was annoyed by that but doesn’t think it called for a violent retaliation as long as he promises to never do it again.

Megan questions why Kristen would sell any information she did have so cheaply for one visit with her daughter. Kristen repeats that her daughter means everything to her. Megan gets it but argues that Kristen thinks too small. Megan advises Kristen to look at the big picture. Megan talks about going through a great deal of trouble to make sure she was incarcerated here. Megan warns that if Kristen even suggests that she stretched the truth, they will ship her to some black site which won’t help her either. Megan encourages that there’s no limit to what they can accomplish here if they work together. Megan tells Kristen that she has no intention of staying here one minute longer than she has to and she’s already started formulating a plan. Megan asks Kristen what sounds better; one measly visit with her daughter or spending the rest of her life with her daughter outside? Megan tells Kristen to ponder over that before making the biggest mistake of her life. Megan asks who would believe Kristen anyway when everybody knows Bo Brady is dead, so she asks how could a dead man kidnap his sister. Megan remarks that being a criminal mastermind is exhausting so she needs a nap. Megan tells Kristen that she will see her around and heads back to her cell.

Thomas screams in pain as he is shot in the ear and Chad takes the gun, shouting that he should’ve listened to reason. Chad tells Thomas that they will patch him up on the way to the police station.

The cop reveals to Hope that Steve said the man claiming to be Shane Donovan was not who he said he was. Hope questions him ignoring that. The cop explains that the man had said Steve was the actual con artist. Hope asks if Steve said anything else. The cop remembers Steve mumbling something as he was dragged out but he can’t remember what it was. Hope thanks him and says to call her if he remembers anything else. Hope leaves her number and then exits the station.

Harris tells Bo that he’s not sure he understands this, questioning Bo wanting him to be with Hope. Bo explains that he’s starting a whole new life without Hope and he’s sick of people trying to drag him back to that whole life. Harris asks if he’s just going to let him go if he doesn’t say anything about finding him. Bo insists that it’s best for both of them and for Hope too since she started a whole new life and moved on with Harris. Bo says they have a good thing going so he asks why break her heart again. Bo tells Harris that Hope is all his, so Harris gets the girl and Bo gets his new life as long as he keeps this conversation between them. Harris questions pretending he never saw him, deceiving Hope, and letting her believe that her husband is dead. Bo argues that he’s not really deceiving her since from his point of view, that husband is dead. Bo asks Harris if they have a deal.

Xander tells Chloe that he should probably make an appearance at the paper and jokes about wanting another rematch when he’s healed. Chloe is impressed that he’d be willing to come near her ever again with a dart. Xander jokes that she may be dangerous and scary, but she makes up for it in charm.

Brady goes to the prison which surprises Kristen. Brady says he came to see this supposedly explosive piece of information that she uncovered. Brady asks what the big news is that’s going to change everybody’s lives in Salem. Kristen claims that it turns out she was wrong and that Megan was telling the truth that Thomas Banks was the one who kidnapped Kayla. Megan listens from outside the room and smiles.

Chad and Stephanie bring Thomas Banks to the police department in Greece. Chad tells the cop that he’s going to want to book him as he’s on the most wanted list. The cop recognizes Thomas from seeing his picture earlier and calls him even uglier in person which Thomas calls not nice.

Harris returns to his room where Hope shows up at his door. Harris asks if she had any luck at the police station. Hope says only the bad kind as someone posed as Shane Donovan and took Steve and the prisms. Harris asks if there’s any idea who. Hope says no as the description was vague and someone erased the security footage. Harris questions how that even happens. Hope thinks whoever kidnapped Steve erased it and was a real pro. Hope complains about the cop not even questioning the man and just letting him walk out with Steve and the prisms. Hope asks if Harris had any luck. Harris responds that he started on the list and went to Victor Kiriakis’ childhood home. Hope asks if he found anything. Harris thinks back to his conversation with Bo where they agreed on the deal to not tell Hope about him. Harris then lies to Hope and tells her that he found nothing at all and the place was deserted.

Stephanie tells Chad that it’s been two days and worries about something happening to her father too. Chad tells her that she can’t think that way and they are here now, so they will find him.

Bo has Steve’s phone and listens to Stephanie’s message on his voicemail.

John comes home with flowers for Marlena. Brady informs John that Marlena isn’t home. John knows that Marlena went back to work but he thinks it’s a little bit soon. Brady points out that Marlena has been seeing patients on the couch ever since she returned, so he thinks she’s ready which John agrees with. Brady brings up Marlena hypnotizing Stephanie and Stephanie remembering Kayla saying something about Victor. Brady questions what that is all about. John explains that Victor is out of town but Chad and Stephanie talked to him on the phone and he said he knew nothing about Kayla’s kidnapping. John adds that Maggie gave a list of Victor’s properties in Greece so Chad and Stephanie flew there to check them out. Brady asks if John thinks Victor is telling the truth. John says he’d like to think so, but he’s been wrong about him before. Brady hopes Chad and Stephanie are not walking in to some kind of trap. John says he’d feel a lot better if Steve hadn’t gone off the grid but they have no idea where he is. John would love to be on the search but he can’t bring himself to be away from Marlena so soon after getting her back.

Marlena tells Alex that they haven’t formally met. Alex tells her it’s great having her back as he knows how much she means to so many people. Marlena feels lucky to be back with the people she loves. Alex hopes it’s not a bad time. Marlena says she’s not seeing patients today and was just catching up on paper work but she invites him to have a seat and asks what she can do for him. Alex brings up Stephanie being in Greece, looking for her mom who is alive. Alex wondered if Marlena had any news about her since she is so close to the situation. Marlena says she hasn’t heard anything new. Marlena asks if Alex knew Kayla. Alex says not really, but he hopes to God they find her because that could mean his redemption.

Hope complains about calling and texting but then she gets a text from Steve’s phone, that says sorry for not being in touch and that Stephanie arrived in Greece, so he’s trying to calm her down. Harris says that’s one problem solved while Hope is relieved that Steve is okay.

Megan comments that news travels fast. Kristen questions what she’s doing in Salem. Megan explains that she cut a deal with the ISA so that she could be incarcerated here. Kristen questions why the ISA would even consider giving her a deal after everything she has done.

Kristen calls Thomas a disgusting little creep and brings up Thomas masquerading as her before.

Chad and Stephanie talk about going through Victor’s properties and hopefully find Kayla. They take their bags to their hotel room as someone watches them.

Alex explains to Marlena that he had no idea that Kayla was dying when he turned Stephanie’s phone off and he just wanted quality time with his girl, but he knows that it was his fault that she didn’t have the opportunity to say goodbye to her mother and she had every right to be, but that’s why they broke up and now she’s with Chad. Alex says when he heard about Kayla being alive, he realized that maybe he didn’t rob Stephanie of her last moments with her mother after all. Alex knows they still have to find her or else he will live with this guilty conscience forever.

Hope sends a text back to Steve’s phone that they will continue to look for Thomas today and keep him updated. Hope says it’s too bad they didn’t accomplish much last night but Harris points out that they did have fun, especially with their dance. Harris and Hope kiss until there’s a knock at the door. Harris goes to get dressed while Hope answers the door to see Chad and Stephanie.

Kristen questions Megan as to why Thomas Banks would kidnap Kayla. Kristen then asks if she ordered it. Megan asks why she would do that when Kayla is of no use to her now. Kristen asks what Megan was planning to do with her with Dr. Rolf. Megan explains that Kayla, Marlena, and Kate were going to be Dr. Rolf’s human guinea pigs and it would’ve been a monumental scientific breakthrough for all of humanity. Kristen guesses she was mostly interested in what it would do for her. Kristen asks why Kate had to bite the bullet and not Marlena. Megan says it was not her choice and that one of her employees went a bit rogue. Kristen says it had to have been Thomas since they didn’t find anyone else on the island but Dr. Rolf. Megan questions where she gets all this information. Kristen responds that she’s aware of everything that concerns her family. Kristen says that Megan threw Thomas under the bus and that’s a major breach of DiMera loyalty. Megan explains that she had to give the ISA a name and they knew that Thomas had been one of her hired guns. Kristen questions why she lied and for whom. Kristen asks if Thomas didn’t take Kayla, who did?

Bo returns to the wine cellar, mentioning that his gun is just an insurance policy. Kayla questions where he was. Bo claims he was fishing and he made them some stew. Kayla complains about him holding them hostage. Bo says they had to eat. Kayla asks why Steve is here. Bo says he got in his way. Steve brings up Hope and asks why he doesn’t want to see her. Bo recalls that Hope hated and misunderstood why he grew to love and admire his father, so there’s no reason to have Hope in his life. Steve calls that a lie and says Hope understands him too well, so he’s afraid that she will break through to him which scares the hell out of him. Bo decides that’s enough talk. Bo argues that Kayla said she would get information off the prisms. Kayla clarifies that she thought that. Bo warns that the clock is ticking. Bo reveals that Stephanie has found her way to Greece which shocks Steve. Bo says it’s only a matter of time before Stephanie or Hope find out that they are missing. Bo warns about either of them getting in his way. Steve then grabs Bo and they struggle over his gun while Kayla tries to intervene.

Brady asks how John could say it’s irrational as he understands John wants Marlena by his side every second because she’s the love of his life. Brady says everyone is happy for John and adds that he’s envious of him. Brady mentions his relationship with Chloe. John knows the pain of when things go wrong and that Marlena told him it’s rough right now with Chloe and Rachel. Brady says that what makes him so infuriated is that Kristen manipulated the whole situation to her advantage and succeeded at making Rachel hate Chloe, so he has no clue how to fix it.

Megan says she never denied that Thomas took Kayla. Kristen points out that she never confirmed it either and asks why she doesn’t just tell her the truth. Megan questions why she would, pointing out that she doesn’t know her. Kristen brings up sisterly bonding. Megan talks about never having a sister. Kristen says the same but notes that she has so many brothers. Megan says she doesn’t know them either. Kristen calls it obvious that Megan hasn’t talked to anyone in decades other than misfits, hostages, and dead people. Kristen encourages Megan to confide in someone normal, that she’s related to. Kristen jokes that they can be sisters in crime. Megan admits that they have one thing in common; a desire to get out of prison. Kristen suggests she scratch her back and Megan scratch hers.

Marlena says that Alex’s urgency to find news about Kayla seems to be about more than his guilty conscience. Alex says of course he wants Kayla to be alive, mentioning that she’s a respected doctor and so many people love her, just like Marlena. Marlena questions if he came all the way over just to say what a wonderful doctor she and Kayla are. Alex doesn’t know what she’s getting at. Marlena feels that Stephanie broke up with him because she felt that he had cost her the last moment she would have had with her mother and now that her mother is alive, she wonders if Alex is thinking he has a second chance with Stephanie.

Hope invites Chad and Stephanie in, asking where Steve is. Stephanie responds that they don’t know. Chad says they went to his room and he wasn’t there. Hope introduces Chad and Stephanie to Harris Michaels. Stephanie responds that she knows who Harris is and brings up how he delivered pizzas to them in Seattle when one of them blew up in her face. Harris apologizes and says he can’t tell her how much he regrets his actions during that time. Stephanie mentions ending up in the hospital but recovering quickly. Harris hopes she can accept his apology. Stephanie understands that he wasn’t himself and that Steve went through something similar awhile back, so she accepts his apology, especially because he’s helping look for her mom. Harris is grateful for her understanding. Stephanie states that now she’s worried about her dad. Hope mentions that Steve just texted them that he was with her. Stephanie argues that he isn’t and they haven’t heard from him since before they left Salem. Stephanie worries that Steve is in trouble.

Bo fights off Steve and warns him not to pull that crap again. Steve dares Bo to pull the trigger and argues that he’s had plenty of chances to kill him but hasn’t done it yet. Bo warns that it can be arranged. Steve yells at Bo to pull the trigger, so he does.

Alex thanks Marlena and wants to pay her for a session. Marlena says no but Alex says she deserves to be compensated for helping him. Marlena says it just feels good to be working. Marlena then points out that Alex didn’t answer her question. Alex guesses he hasn’t thought much about getting back with Stephanie, maybe because he may seem confident, Stephanie was the only woman that he truly loved and being rejected by her was really painful. Alex guesses maybe he’s just afraid of getting hurt again. Marlena understands he’s feeling vulnerable because he has very deep feelings for Stephanie which he admits. Alex guesses this discussion is just bringing his subconscious thoughts to the surface. Marlena says that’s how therapy works. Alex realizes that part of him is hoping that if they do find Kayla, maybe Stephanie will be able to get past what happened and they could be together again.

Hope tries calling Steve but it goes straight to voicemail. Hope worries that it’s possible that someone else has Steve’s phone. Stephanie worries that he’s not okay. Chad asks when they last saw him. Harris says they split up yesterday and Steve went to the police station to look at Dr. Rolf’s belongings for any clues on where Kayla is. Hope notes that they haven’t seen him since then. Harris decides they should go to the police station as right now, it’s the only lead they have. Chad stops him and says it’s not the only lead.

Bo pulled the trigger and shot a bottle of wine. Bo blames Steve for making him do that and wasting a bottle but Kayla argues that this is on Bo because he’s trying to be someone that he’s not. Bo responds that he’s not Shawn’s son who never fit in and remarks that he was never a Brady. Kayla argues that he was and still is. Steve adds that if Bo thinks it’s better to be a Kiriakis, he’s a fool. Bo asks if Steve keeps pushing him because he doesn’t think he’s capable of killing. Bo then brings up that he put a bullet in Kate. Kayla shouts that Bo doesn’t need to do any of this and what he’s thinking and feeling is because of what Megan did to him. Steve adds that Megan has been captured and is in prison as they speak. Steve questions if Bo is going to let Megan control him from an ocean away.

Megan says if they are sharing secrets, she wants Kristen to start. Kristen decides that if Megan doesn’t want to tell her who has Kayla, she will figure it out on her own. Kristen questions Megan just giving up Thomas Banks and argues that whoever took Kayla is someone she is protecting and someone she cares about. Kristen states that as she knows, Megan never cared about anyone in her entire life other than maybe Stefano and Bo but they are both dead. Megan remarks on Bo dying of a brain tumor, just like she was dead before they dumped her in a hot tub and fried to her a crisp, yet here she sits before her. Kristen asks if Megan is saying that Bo Brady is alive.

Chad shows Harris the list of Victor’s properties in Greece. Stephanie points out that they don’t know if Kayla is actually in any of those properties while Chad encourages her to stay positive as they just have to start looking. Harris suggests they split up. Hope agrees and decides she will go to the police station since she’s been working with the ISA, so they will talk to her. Hope tells Stephanie and Chad to stick together. Chad splits the list of properties and hands one to Harris as he and Stephanie exit together. Harris advises Hope to be careful too. Hope responds that she’s going to the police station, the safest place in town, but Harris points out that Steve possibly disappeared from there. Hope says that’s what she is going to find out. Hope thanks Harris for helping her family. Harris responds that she gave him his life back, so he just hopes that he can return the favor as they then exit.

Alex tells Marlena that he always mocked the whole getting in touch with your feelings thing, but admits it’s really helping which Marlena is glad to hear. Alex asks if she thinks he needs therapy. Marlena responds that therapy is what she does, so she thinks everybody can be helped in therapy. Alex says he’s always thought he doesn’t need it as talking about his feelings and emotions is not really his vibe. Marlena asks if he’s changed his mind. Alex admits this did help a lot right now, but it didn’t change his mind as he doesn’t think he wants to continue. Alex declares that he’s fine. Marlena says if he does change his mind again, he can call her and hands him her card. Alex thanks her and says he appreciates that. Alex adds that it was great meeting the famous Dr. Evans as he then exits her office.

Brady tells John that Marlena said she would keep working with Rachel as far as talking things through. Brady adds that Marlena is really the only mother figure that Rachel has right now. John says they really adore her and asks if he’s taken Rachel to see Kristen lately. Brady says no and that Rachel’s only time seeing her lately was her solo trip to the prison. Brady admits that Kristen’s been hounding him but he doesn’t want Kristen poisoning Rachel’s mind any further. Brady mentions that he just declined Kristen’s call a little while ago. John questions him thinking it’s okay to freeze her out. John warns that if Rachel thinks he’s keeping her from seeing her mother, she’s going to dig in even more. John says as much as they wish it wasn’t true, in this case, there’s a strong bond between mother and daughter that he’s not sure can be broken.

Megan tells Kristen that they may be sisters but it does take time to trust someone. Kristen questions what she is getting at. Megan responds that she’s just not quite ready to play true confessions. Megan decides it’s time to get settled in to her new home because it looks like she’s going to be here for awhile, theoretically at least. Megan then leaves the visiting area.

Bo declares that no one controls him and that Megan just opened him up to who he really is. Kayla argues that this is not him. Bo asks what he has to show for the pansy that she says he was. Steve and Kayla bring up Bo’s children and grandchildren. Steve reveals that Ciara is pregnant so Bo has another grandchild on the way. Kayla calls that wonderful news and a blessing. Bo says that makes what he’s doing that much more important because he’s going to build an empire like his father. Steve argues that his kids want him, not some Kiriakis wanna be. Kayla repeats that what the Bradys lacked in wealth, they made up for with how much they loved each other. Kayla tells Bo that is more valuable than numbers in a bank. Bo complains that they are wasting his time as this is happening whether they like it or not. Bo tells Kayla to get back to work. Kayla argues that she needs equipment and supplies. Bo accuses her of stalling. Kayla insists that she needs a lab. Bo reluctantly agrees to get what she needs and exits the cellar.

Stephanie warns Chad that this could be dangerous. Chad says they knew that when they came. Stephanie doesn’t think she should be dragging him in to this when he has kids to worry about. Chad assures that nothing is stopping him and he’s not letting her do this alone. Chad declares they will be fine as they have each other. They exit the hotel as someone remains watching them.

John goes to Marlena’s office and brings her flowers. John asks how her first day back is. Marlena responds that it’s been pretty busy. Marlena then gets a call from Alex, who decides he would like to make an appointment.

Brady gets another call from prison and this time he reluctantly accepts. Brady answers and asks what Kristen wants. Kristen says she wants to relay something to him of the utmost importance.

Steve asks Kayla if she’s okay. Kayla says she’s not and complains that Bo could have shot Steve, so she questions why he baited him like that. Steve says he was proving a point. Steve says that Bo didn’t shoot him and won’t. Kayla worries that he could have and now Stephanie is here. Steve argues that if Bo couldn’t hurt him, he won’t hurt his own niece, and declares that Bo is not as dangerous as he pretends to be. Steve tells Kayla that Hope and Harris have to be wondering where he is now, so Hope is going to follow the bread crumbs and they are going to find them.

Chad and Stephanie go to a warehouse which Chad notes is huge with a lot of place for someone to be sulking around. They are then startled by a noise behind them.

Hope goes to the Greek police station and introduces herself as from the ISA. Hope informs the cop that she’s looking for a colleague who was there yesterday named Steve Johnson. The cop says it doesn’t sound familiar and asks for a description. Hope then shows him a photo of Steve which the cop recognizes and tells her that the Director of the ISA said he was an impostor and took him in to custody. Hope questions that and shows him a picture of Shane Donovan but the cop says that’s not him. Hope says that’s Shane, so she questions who is the man who took Steve in to custody.

Bo goes to leave the cabin right as Harris arrives at the door and they come face to face.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Wow.

I guess I’m back in business.

Good morning.

Hey, Dr. Evan. You got a minute? What a nice surprise. Sure. Come on in.

No, I will not accept the call.

What? He declined my call.

Damn him. Take it easy, sister. Oh ho. Take it as my own damn business. And I am not your sister. Actually. You are.

Hi. Oh, uh, yeah. I was just going to actually hop, hop in the shower. Come in, come here. Yeah. Did you, uh, did you find Steve? No. No. I just, uh, I just went to his room and I checked with the front desk and no one saw him come in last night. But now I’m starting to worry that something’s happened to him.

Whoa. Oh, Brady open this door. I don’t know why you’re wasting your breath. You think he’s suddenly gonna come to his senses and let us out? No. So we’re gonna have to find a way to get ourselves out of.

Hey, Papa Chad and I just got to Athens and I haven’t heard from you, so I’m starting to worry. I hope everything’s okay, and then I’ll hear from you soon. Love you voicemail. It’s been like two days. It’s bad enough. My mom is missing. What if something’s happened to my father too? Stop. Listen, you can’t, you can’t think that way.

We’re here now. Okay. We’ll find him.

And I haven’t heard from you, so I’m starting to worry. I hope everything’s okay, and then I’ll hear from you soon. Love you.

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

Hey kid. Hey dad. Oh, thanks. She’s this are from Arlene, right? I knocked off work early here and stopped by the florist and thought I’d bring a little something home. Yeah, I don’t, I don’t think she’s here. I didn’t see her car, the garage when I came in. Oh, I know. She decided to go back to work today. I’m not really down with that.

I think it’s a little bit too soon. You. That she’s been, uh, seeing patients in this living room on that couch about 24 hours after returning to the land of the living. So I say she’s okay and she’s ready.

You got a good point there. Yeah. Yeah. I, uh, I heard that she hypnotized Stephanie yesterday and that Stephanie recalled Kayla saying something about my grandfather. What, what is that all about? Apparently Vic is out of town, but Chad and Stephanie talked to him on the phone and of course Vic, I know nothing about Kayla’s kidnapping.

Now for Maggie’s part, she gave Chad and Stephanie a list of Vic’s properties in Greece and they flew over there right now to check ’em out. Do you think my granddad’s telling the truth? Well, I’d like to believe so, but God knows I’ve been wrong about him before. I just hope they’re not walking into some kind of trap.

Yeah. Here you’re, I’d feel a hell of a lot better about this if Steve hadn’t gone off to quit. I got no clue where he is. Huh? Nothing. Damn it, kid. I would love to be on that search, but you know, the idea of just leaving Marna here. I know, I know that she’s physically fine. Maybe I’m being irrational here, but I just, I can’t bear to be away from her so soon after.

Got her back.

It’s Alex, Kiki. Right? I don’t think we’ve actually formed Met. We haven’t. But let me just say it is great news having you back. I do know how much you mean to clearly so many people. I thank you. I feel so lucky to be home with the people that I love most. Right? I hope this isn’t a bad. Oh, no. No, not really.

Uh, I, I’m, I’m not seeing patients today. I was just going to catch up on some paperwork. Oh, but why don’t you have a seat? I, come on, sit down. Thank you.

What can I do for you? Um, well, as you know, Stephanie’s in Greece right now. She’s looking for her mom who is alive. Yes, I know. It’s another miracle, right? Yes, it is. So I was just, I was wondering if maybe you, uh, had any news about her things that you were so close to the situation yourself? Um, no, I haven’t heard anything new.

I’m sorry. Okay. Did you, did you know. No. No, not, not really. No. Um, but I hope to God they find her. Yes, we all do. Yeah. Me more than most. See for me, that could mean mighty redemption. I have called, I have text. Oh, wait a second, finally. Okay. All right. All right. All right. He’s texting us back. Let’s see what he has to say.

Sorry, I haven’t been in touch. Uh, Stephanie arrived. She’s upset about her mom. I’m trying to calm her down. Let me know if you track down banks. Okay. Well, there, there we go. Yeah. It’s one problem solved. Yeah. Yeah. Thank God Steve’s.

I’ll let you two get reacquainted or just acquainted, so. You are the infamous Megan Hathaway and you are the infamous Kristin Damira. Different last names perhaps, but we are undeniably family. Yeah. Well, let’s not start singing Sister Sledged just yet, but I do have to say you went pretty well preserved for someone who was already.

10 years before I even stepped foot in, sang that cryogenic chamber fluid. It’s wonderful for the skin, uh, as is, uh, Mediterranean heat. Yeah, I heard that, uh, you were apprehended on an island off Greece. We’re a host of international crimes. Oh, news travels. Fires. Mm-hmm. So what are you doing here in Salem?

I cut a deal with the, is. So that I’d be incarcerated here. And why would the ISA even consider giving you a deal with everything you’ve done? They were desperate to find Kayla Johnson. And I told the feds that a former associated mine, Thomas Banks, was the one absconded with her. Thomas, Ugh. That disgusting little creep.

I mean he masqueraded as me in Monte Carla. I can’t even believe some SAP actually believed that that hideous little creature was yours. Truly,

I God, everyone’s at the desk. Good. We’re gonna need their help to go through this list of Victor’s properties and hopefully find my.

So you see, I, I had no idea Stephanie’s mom was dying when I turned her phone off. I just wanted some quality time with my. Yeah, I understand and thank you, and still I know that it was my fault that she didn’t have the opportunity to say goodbye to her mother. She was so upset. Not that she didn’t have every right to be, she did, but I’m just explaining to you why we broke up and now she’s with Chad.

Yeah. Anyway, when I heard this news about Kayla being alive, I realized that maybe I didn’t rob Stephanie of her last moments with her mother after all, and I know they still have to find her. It’s either that or I live with this guilty conscience forever.

We didn’t get anywhere at the Dive Verna last night, but we will continue looking for banks today. We’ll keep you updated. You know, it’s really too bad we didn’t have much success last night at the. I wouldn’t say that. I mean, we didn’t find Thomas Banks, but we had some fun, especially during our dance.

Yes.

Oh, it’s room service. Throw some clothes on. Could you? Oh, uh, yeah, yeah, I got it.

So why would Thomas Banks kidnap Taylor Johnson unless. Did you order it? Why would I do that? Kayla is of no use to me now. Right. Oh. And just what we planning to do with her back at the ranch with Dr. Ralph, she, Marlene and Kate were going to be Ralph’s human Guinea pigs. It was going to be a monumental scientific breakthrough for all of humanity.

Hmm. Let me just take a wild guess here. You were mostly interested in what it could do for you. Am I right? No comment. Fine. All right. Then answer this. If someone was going to bite it, why couldn’t it bend? Marlena Yk. If it had been my choice. Oh, it wasn’t? No it wasn’t. One of the employees went a bit rogue Thomas.

It had to have been. I mean, they didn’t find anyone else on that island except for Rolf. Right. Tell me where are you getting your information from? It sounds like you’ve downloaded the ISA intelligence report. I am aware of everything that concerns my family. Listen, change the subject you just threw Poor Thomas under the bus and that is a.

Nature major breach of the Damer Code of ethics for maintaining loyal employees. Look, I had to give the ISA a, and they knew that Thomas had been one of my hired guns, so, so you lied. Why? Hmm. I’m for whom? If Thomas didn’t take Kayla, then who did? Huh?

Sis hatch. Oh, don’t mind the gun. It’s just an insurance. Where were you, Bo? Fishing. Fishing. Yeah. You’re kidding. Right? Go. I made you some stew with fresh sea bass. Beats the anchovy rations we had when we were in the merchant marina. You are holding us hostage here and you are out fishing. Yeah, indeed. I asked for your help.

You didn’t give it willingly, so, so what about Steve? Why is he here? Got in my way. What about hope? Why don’t you wanna see her? Oh my God. Okay. As I recall, she hated and really kind of misunderstood why I grew to love and admire my father. So since that’s the direction my life is, No reason to have her in it.

No. That may be the story you tell yourself, but it’s a lie. It’s not that hope misunderstands you, it’s that she understands you too well, and you don’t like that you’re afraid she’s gonna break through to you and that scares the hell outta you, doesn’t it?

Now enough talking more work. I don’t see much of that going on down here. I wonder why you wanted the prism. I went and got it for you. You told me that you’d get the information off of it. I told you. That’s what I thought. Okay. You don’t seem to understand. The clock is ticking. Your daughter has found her way to Greece.

What? What? Stephanie’s here and it’s just a matter of time before she or hope. Find out that you are missing. I can’t keep putting them off. And if either one of them gets in my way,

come on. How can you say it’s ir? Of course you want Marlena, buy your side every second because she’s the love of your life. And it’s like, you just, it’s like you just got her back, you got a second chance with her. And then dad, everyone’s happy for you. I’m happy for you. Hell, I’m, I’m envious of you. Ah, come on, come on, come on.

No. Hey, it’s not like I’m comparing my relationship with Chloe, yours and Marlene’s. It’s just that, hey, you mean even though your love for Chloe hasn’t gone on for decades? Still doesn’t use the pain when things go wrong, and yeah, doc told me that it’s. It’s a rough go right now with, uh, with, with Chloe and Rachel.

Rough. Yeah. Rough, rough. R That doesn’t even describe it. What makes me so infuriating? It’s all because Kristen manipulated the whole scenario to her advantage. She set out to make sure that Rachel hated Chloe, and she did it. She succeeded in it and that I don’t have a clue how to fix it. Not a clue. I never deny that Thomas was the one who took Kayla and you never confirmed it.

Why don’t you just tell me the truth? Why would I, why would I tell you anything? I don’t know. You having heard of sisterly bonding, my sister Renee died before I knew her, so I’ve never actually had a sister. Mommy neither. I mean, there was Lexi, but I barely knew her. On the other hand, so many male siblings, aka brothers, I don’t know them either.

No, I do want to come on. It’s obvious that you haven’t talked to anyone in decades. I mean, except for misfits, hostages and dead people. Yeah, I Where you can find it. Someone normal, someone you’re related to. Come on. I mean, not only. Can we be sisters, but we can be sisters in crime? Well, there’s definitely at least one thing that we have in common, a desire to get out of this place.

Right? So why don’t I scratch your back? You scratch my, what do you say sis?

So this urgency to find out about Kayla, it seems to be about more than just assuaging your guilty conscience. Well, I mean, of course I want Stephanie’s mother to be alive. She’s an amazing person, a well-respected doctor. So many people love her just like you. So you came all the way over here. Say what a wonderful doctor Kayla is and what a wonderful doctor I am.

I don’t know what you’re getting at. It seems to me that Stephanie broke up with you because she felt you had cost her the last moment she would’ve had with her mother, and now that now that her mother’s alive. I wonder if you’re thinking perhaps. You have a second chance with her?

Uh, Stephanie Chad, please come in. Uh, Seth. Where’s your dad? We don’t know. Yeah, we went to his room. It wasn’t there. Oh. Uh, Harris, this is my niece Stephanie. This is Chad Dara. This is Harris Michaels. He’s helping us look for. Yeah, I know who this man is. He was back in Seattle that he delivered pizzas to me and my family.

One of them literally blew up in my face. Stephanie, I’m, I’m, I’m sorry. I really am. I can’t tell you how much I regret my actions during that time. I assume you weren’t seriously injured. I ended up in the hospital, but I recovered pretty quickly. Thank God for that. I just hope you couldn’t accept my apology.

Well, I do understand that you weren’t yourself. My dad went through something very similar a while back, so yes, I do accept your apology, especially because you’re helping me look for my mom. I’m grateful for your understanding. I’m grateful for everyone’s efforts in trying to find my mom, but now I’m worried about my dad too.

Why? He just texted us, said that he was with you. What? But he isn’t, obviously, and we haven’t heard from him since before we left Salem. My God, my dad’s in trouble listening.

Are you okay? Fine. Jesus. Don’t pull that crap again. What? Huh? Come on buddy. Pull that trigger. No, stop it. I know. He just had plenty of chances to kill me and he hasn’t done it yet. That can be arranged. Oh, I don’t think you have it in yet. Stop it. Don’t prove me wrong. Come on, stop it. No, I’m waiting. Pull the trigger.

Do it.

Dr. Evans, this was so good of you. I’m gonna pay you for a session. Absolutely not. Oh, yes, yes, yes. You just got back in here. You are trying to help me. You deserve to be compensated. No, I’ve been away for a while and right now it feels really good. It’d be working. Are you sure? I’m sure. But

you could answer my question.

Okay. Um, well, I guess I haven’t thought that much about getting back with Stephanie. Um, I guess maybe because, uh, As confident as I may seem, you know, being a halfway attractive guy, um, Stephanie was the only woman I truly loved and, uh, being rejected by her really painful.

So I guess maybe I’m, uh, just afraid getting. Again,

you’re feeling vulnerable because you have very deep feelings for her. I do. I guess all this, um, discussion is just bringing all these, um, subconscious thoughts to the. That’s how therapy works. Right? Right. I am realizing as I sit here with you, um, part of me is hoping that if they do find her mom, maybe Stephanie will be able to get past what happened.

She and I could be together again, straight to voice. Damnit. Hannah, what are you thinking? That it’s possible someone else has your dad’s phone because they’ve taken him and they want us to think that he’s okay, which means that he’s not. It’s, it’s, it’s, it’s Okay. Wh where and when did you last see him?

Well, we, we split up yesterday. Yeah. Helping, I follow the lead on Thomas Banks. That was the dead end. Steve went to the local police station to take a look at Wolf’s personal effects to see if that could give us a clue on your mother’s whereabouts. Did it? Well, we don’t know. We haven’t seen him since then.

Let’s go to the PD for now. That’s the only lead we’ve got. No, it’s not the only lead.

What the hell is the matter with you Bo? Next time it’s your brains. Oh man. It made me go on ways to perfectly good red. No, he didn’t do anything. This is all you Bo, because you’re trying to be somebody that you are not. Who I’m not is Sean Brady’s son. The one who never fit in was never a Brady. No, that is not true.

Of course, you were. You still are. And if you’re not proud of that, if you think it’s better to be a curus, corrupt and greedy, selling your soul and your heart for money and power, and you’re a damn fool and a co. You don’t think I’m capable of killing? That’s why you keep pushing me. I put a bullet in Kate Roberts.

Oh, you need to listen to me. You don’t need to do any of this. What you’re thinking, what you’re feeling right now is because of what Megan Hathaway did to you. For your information, Megan Hathaway’s been captured. She’s in Statesville Prison as we speak. Are you gonna let that crazy woman control you from an ocean away?

Okay. Since we’re sharing secrets, how about you star?

Oh, you were chatty Cathy a minute ago. Now you’re not willing to share. I see how this works. Oh fine. Don’t tell me who has Kayla. I will figure it out on my own. Good luck with that. Oh, screw luck. I’m excellent at deductive reasoning. And you know what, you just give up. Thomas Banks, your trusty right hand man.

Bull. See whoever took. Is someone that you’re protecting. See, I think I’m getting close. She’s better than Sudoku. See, whoever you’re protecting is someone that you care about. And as I know, you never cared about anyone in your entire life. I mean, maybe father, but he’s dead. Oh, Brady, of course, but he’s dead too.

Yes. Poor Beau died of a brain tumor just as I was dead before the unceremoniously dumped me into a hot tub and fried me to crisp. And yet here I sit before you.

What are you saying, Megan? You’re saying that Bow Brady is alive.

How long is that list of properties? It’s long. Everything from Titan’s headquarters to Victor’s child at home? Of course, we have no idea if my mom’s even at any of these properties. Let’s just stay positive. All right. All we gotta do is get out there and start looking. I think we should split up. Good idea.

I’ll go to the police station. I’ve been working with the isa, so they’ll talk to me. Stephanie, Chad, you speak together and Harris,

there you go. All right, let’s do this. You two. Be careful. Keep your phones on. Okay? I do. Hey, um, you be careful too. I’m going to the plays. Safest place in town. Uh, Steve possibly disappeared from there. That’s what I’m gonna find out. Thank you for helping my family. You gave me my life back. Just hope I can return the favor.

Wow. What that, just, this whole getting in touch with your feelings thing. You know, I, I always mocked it, but it’s really helping. I’m glad to hear that.

You think I need therapy. Therapy is what I do, so I’m predisposed to think that every. Can be helped in therapy. Ah. See I’m predispose to think I just don’t need it sitting around talking about my feelings and emotions. It’s not really my vibe.

Have you changed your mind? Well, I mean, I, this did help. A a lot right now,

but no, it didn’t change my mind, I don’t think. I wanna continue. I’m good. Not really. I’m, I’m, I’m, I’m fine. Really good. If you do change your mind again, you can call me. Oh, thank you. Appreciate that.

Yo, I’ll tell you one thing though. It was great meeting the famous Dr. I know

Marlena said that she would keep working with Rachel. I mean, not, not, not officially working with her, but she’s just talking things through with her. Yeah. She’s really the only mother figure that Rachel has. Right. Well, we really adore that little girl.

So have you, have you taken Rachel to see Kristen lately? No. No. The only, the only time she’s seen her mother recently is when she took that solo adventure to Statesville. Kristen keeps hounding me, but Dad, I don’t want Kristen poisoning her mind any. I just declined her call a little while ago. Oh, I see.

So you think it’s okay to, uh, to freeze her out? I, I, I, I mean, I mean, if, if Rachel. Thanks that you’re trying to keep her from seeing her mother here. She’s gonna dig in even more. You know that. Yeah, I know that. I don’t. As much as we would like it not to be true in this particular case, there’s a strong bond between mother and daughter.

I am not so sure that can be broken.

Look, uh, we may be sisters, but even so, it does take a little time to trust someone. Don’t you agree? What the hell are you getting at? Just not quite ready to play True confessions. Well, it’s time for me to go get settled into my new home, away from home, cuz it looks like I’m gonna be here for a while.

Theoretically, at least

no one controls me. Megan just woke me up to who I am. No, this is not you, Bo. Oh yeah. What do I have to show for that pansy ass? You say I was? How about a son and two daughters and two beautiful grandchildren, Bo and another one on the way. What? Is he pregnant? Yes. Do you hear that? Isn’t that wonderful news?

I mean, it’s a blessing Bo, isn’t it? Bo? This makes what I’m doing that much more important. What are you talking about? I’m gonna build an empire like my father did. Make something on myself, bro. They want you. They don’t want some kriyas to want to be, it’s like I told you before, whether the Brady’s were lacking in wealth.

We made up for how much we’ve loved each other. Come on. You know that, you know, the most valuable thing is that not just a bunch of numbers in a. You have to see that. What I see is that you’re wasting my time. Again, this is happening whether you like it or not, so get back to work. I need equipment, I need supplies.

You’re just stalling. No, I’m not. But maybe Ralph could just, you know, work with random junk. I can’t. I need, I need a laboratory. I need equipment. All of a sudden you have.

Okay, what you need.

This could be dangerous, Chad. We knew that when we came. So what I’m saying is I don’t think I should be dragging you into this. You have Thomas and Charlotte to think about. Nothing is gonna happen to me. Okay? And I’m not letting you do this alone. We’re gonna be fine. We got each other.

Oh, hey Doc. Oh, hi. Hi. Yeah, you got some flowers, but you know what? Mine are better. They are because they’re my favorites and because they’re from you, I love. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. So tell me how is the first day back? Um, it’s been pretty pissy. Mm-hmm. Good. We’ve been doing a lot, lot of catching up, right?

Sorry. Excuse me. Catching up. Yeah. Hey, this is Dr. Evans. Hi, Dr. Evans. It’s Alex Kiki. I’d like to make an appointment.

Statesville.

Hello? Yeah, I’ll accept Brady. Yeah, it’s me. What do you want? Actually, what I want is to relay to you something of the utmost importance.

You okay? No, I’m not. Okay. He could have shot you. Why did you bait him like that? To prove a point. He didn’t shoot me. He won’t. But he could have. And now Stephanie’s here. Don’t, don’t worry about Stephanie. If he can’t hurt me, he’s not gonna hurt his own niece. He’s not as dangerous as he pretends to be.

Baby. Listen, hope and Michaels have to be wondering where I am now. Okay? Hope is gonna follow the breadcrumbs. They’re gonna find us. You hear me? They’re gonna find us.

This warehouse is huge. There’s a lot of places for someone to be soaking around. What was that? Oh my God.

I’m Hope Brady Isa. I’m looking for a colleague. He was supposedly here yesterday, but hasn’t been seen since. Name’s Steve Johnson. Doesn’t sound familiar. You give me. Actually, I can do better than that. Ah, yes. The director of the ISA said he was an imposter, took him into custody. Shane Donovan took him into custody.

No. Okay. What, hold on a second, just to be clear. This, uh, this is the man who took Steve Johnson to custody. No, that, that’s not him. But this is Shane Donovan. So who’s the man who took Steve? Mr. Johnson’s custody.

Sloan adds that she brought her phone as asked. Jada says she’ll have a team examine it right away.

Wendy brings up that Allie warned her about how badly Johnny treated women but she didn’t believe her. Johnny complains about Allie being such a hater. Wendy tells Johnny that she really thought they had something special and she really wanted it to work. Johnny remarks that she’s in to Tripp. Wendy says she wanted to be open and honest and clarify her feelings for Tripp before fully committing to Johnny but she never thought it would make him do something so stupid. Wendy calls Johnny the jackass that everyone says he is and declares they are done as she then storms off. Johnny then asks Chanel where they should go on their honeymoon.

Gabi tells Li as if he’s Stefan that she wants him so bad and she can’t wait any longer so they start kissing on the bed until Li stops and says he can’t do this. Li assures that he wants her but not like this. Gabi doesn’t understand and asks what the problem is. Li shouts that the problem is he’s not Stefan.

Stefan asks where Gabi is. Melinda questions if this is some kind of game. Stefan asks what she did with Gabi. Melinda shouts that she didn’t do anything.

Melinda then suddenly vomits and says she thinks she needs a doctor.

Li tells Gabi that he’s not Stefan and what she’s seeing isn’t real. Gabi tells him not to push her away and says she already knows Li found out so they don’t have to sneak around and lie. Gabi says she will lose his DiMera shares but now they are free to show the world how they feel and that’s what matters now. Li confirms that EJ sent him a picture of Gabi and Stefan having sex in the DiMera wine cellar. Li reiterates to Gabi that he is not her ex-husband, he is her current husband who is a pathetic excuse for a man who was so desperate to hang on to her that he almost ended up in prison. Li adds that he still didn’t get the hint and deluded himself in to thinking he could win her back. Gabi then realizes he is Li and questions what’s going on. Li says she’s been hallucinating and asks if she took something. Gabi says she would never do drugs. Li says that someone clearly drugged her. Gabi then stops and vomits right in front of Li.

Rafe continues hallucinating and imagines Sloan as Duke the teddy bear and hugs her, leaving Sloan and Jada confused. Rafe talks about how he’s missed Duke but says he shouldn’t be here right now because he and Nicole are over and he was trying to get busy with Jada until the blonde witch showed up. Rafe continues to imagine Duke and then questions why the room is spinning. Rafe then collapses to the floor and Jada checks on him.

Eric and Nicole start kissing and talking about how much they want each other. Nicole stops and asks about Sloan. Eric says that she ended things because he had trouble believing that she wasn’t stalking Paulina and Chanel. Eric then asks about Nicole and EJ. Nicole complains that EJ is so boring and only wants to plot against his brother while being with Eric is so much more fun and they kiss onto the bed.

Johnny and Chanel sit together in the town square. Johnny talks about being bummed that Wendy dumped him. Johnny says he can see why since he’s marrying Chanel but he’s surprised it was a deal breaker. Talia comes over, so Johnny introduces himself to her as Chanel’s once and future husband. Johnny adds that Talia is the first person they’ve told other than Wendy eavesdropping. Talia questions them getting married. Chanel says maybe while Johnny argues that she said yes. Chanel says she’s not sure why she said that. Johnny asks if she’s saying she doesn’t want to be his first and second wife. Chanel says she thinks so. Johnny asks if the honeymoon is off too. Chanel says she’s sorry. Johnny guesses he should probably get home. Chanel mentions that she should get back to work. Johnny asks for some more biscuits since he got dumped twice in one day. Johnny then decides he’s going to go home and take a nap as he walks off. Talia questions Chanel as to what that was all about.

Eric and Nicole lay in bed together after having sex. Nicole asks what they just did. Sloan then knocks on the door, calling for Eric to open up. Eric tells Nicole to be quiet and maybe she’ll go away. Sloan calls for Eric to open up because they need to talk. Nicole doesn’t think she’s going away. Eric then covers himself with a pillow and answers the door, claiming he was just getting dressed. Sloan says she came to apologize for overreacting since she did tell him that she was still planning on getting revenge on Paulina and Chanel. Sloan says she’s not guilty of what they are accusing her of but it makes total sense why he’d be suspicious. Eric says it’s no big deal and asks if that’s all. Sloan asks if he’s going to invite her in and questions since when he’s ever been nervous about her watching him get dressed. Eric says he’ll call her later but Sloan pushes her way in and finds Nicole in Eric’s bed.

Jada paces at the hospital, hoping that Rafe will be okay. Stefan arrives and tells Jada that he needs to speak with her. Jada says it’s not a good time but Stefan says he needs to report two attempted murders. Jada says she’s listening. Stefan informs Jada that EJ poisoned him and Melinda, so he needs to be arrested. Jada asks if he has proof. Stefan says no, but he’s pretty sure that EJ poisoned the breakfast biscuits they ate. Jada questions him saying breakfast biscuits. Stefan explains that Nicole picked them up from Sweet Bits Bakery, he and Melinda ate them and started hallucinating. Stefan adds that Melinda is in the ER right now. Jada informs Stefan that EJ may not be the one responsible for this. Gabi and Li arrive at the hospital. Gabi rushes up to Stefan, who questions what happened to her. Li says that’s what they are here to find out as Stefan hugs Gabi and tells her that everything is going to be okay.

Talia and Chanel go to the Bakery where Talia gives her a glass of water and asks if she’s feeling any better. Chanel says she doesn’t know what happened before with Johnny. Talia questions Johnny really asking her to marry him. Chanel questions saying yes and says that he was just so excited and she got caught up in the moment. Chanel guesses it was a temporary moment of insanity. Jada arrives. Talia asks if she got sent on a donut run. Jada reveals she’s actually here to investigate a crime. Chanel asks if something happened to Paulina. Jada assures that she’s fine, but Rafe and Melinda are both in the hospital, suffering from hallucinations. They call that awful while Talia asks what that has to do with the Bakery. Jada explains that they both had the breakfast biscuits that they purchased this morning, so there must have been something in them. Chanel argues that half the town had those biscuits and asks if there’s any other reports of people getting sick. Jada says not yet, but if they really sold that many, it’s likely they will. Talia worries that this could ruin Chanel’s business. Jada says one step at a time. Jada asks if it’s possible someone may have spiked those biscuits. Chanel responds that she knows exactly who it was.

Sloan tells Eric that was fast. Eric says this isn’t what it looks like. Sloan complains about people saying that to her today. Eric says he doesn’t know how this happened. Nicole talks about how Eric was going to take pictures of her. Eric doesn’t think that ever happened. Sloan asks if they are trying to convince her that they didn’t have sex. Eric assures that they definitely had sex. Eric and Nicole then talk about seeing the other dressed as a priest and in a bikini. Sloan questions them seeing things that aren’t there and thinking things are something else. Eric says exactly while Sloan points out that they ended up in bed together but both don’t know how it happened. Sloan declares that it sounds to her like they were drugged.

Chanel tells Jada that it had to be Sloan because she leaked the story about her to the Spectator and now she’s coming after her. Jada asks how Sloan would know Chanel was the source. Chanel admits she told her yesterday and they got in to it physically. Talia mentions getting there to break it up, but not before Sloan drew blood. Chanel calls Sloan a total psycho which is what the headline in Leo’s column said. Chanel says that cost Sloan business so now Sloan is costing her business. Jada brings up that Sloan was at the police station when Rafe passed out and seemed just as shocked as she was. Chanel argues that Sloan was clearly putting on an act. Chanel wonders if that’s what happened to Johnny since they were acting really weird earlier and they both had the biscuits. Chanel argues that this has Sloan written all over it and questions who else would do something this twisted. Talia then has a flashback to herself that reveals she was actually the one who drugged the biscuits. Jada then tells them that whether Sloan is involved or not, she is going to make it top priority to find out who has been drugging the citizens of Salem and she’s going to bring them to justice…

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Ah. Only one left. Looks like I got here. Just in time man. Customers are jumping on these like they haven’t eaten in days. Yes. Where the mouth is getting out. I just hope we can keep up with the demand. Oh we will. With you on board. Sweet Bits is going to be more successful than ever.

There you are. Mm. Disappeared to this morning. Well, thank you. When I woke up, you were gone. I didn’t want to wake you. You were uh asleep. So I got us breakfast. Aw, that’s sweet. Whatever you got. Smell delicious. Where’d you go?

Sweets. Chanel’s place. What the hell is wrong with you? Breakfast biscuit, anyone? Oh, so that’s where you went? Mm-hmm. I know that the breakfast bar is always stocked with goodies, but variety is a spice of life, right? Oh and one. Mm-hmm. Well, what do you think? Get a whiff.

Ooh, smells good. Sweets from the sweet, not so fast cowboy. Before you indulge, you must show the proper gratitude where, ah, my matters.

Oh, good morning Johnny. It’s not all that good for me actually. Oh no. Did you not sleep water? I didn’t sleep at all. There was a lot of noise coming from down the hall. Sounded like a wild animal park. Uh, yes. Those noises you heard weren’t coming from my bedroom. That was all your all Uncle Stephan.

Really? Uh, I and Gabby are back together. No, it wasn’t Gabby in the Wild Animal park with him. It was our otherwise buttoned up District Attorney.

Melinda, what are you doing and why are you undressed? Well, I know you just showered, but I was wondering if you wouldn’t mind getting dirty again in as dirty away as possible.

Hey, so what are my, uh, eggs? Benedicts? I beg your pardon. Actually, I was looking forward to your amazing banana pancakes. Hello. Ever since we moved in here, you’ve made one amazing breakfast. After the other, starting to look forward to it. Why not this morning? Guess I wasn’t in the mood.

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

Lee is something wrong. My father’s been texting me nonstop about an issue I need to deal with. So you’re on your own for B. Well, I’m too hungry to cook, so I guess I’m going out. Tell your dad I say hello, and then I look forward to being a major Demer shareholder again in about four months. Gabby, yes, you never told me about your dinner meeting with David Saxton last night.

I trust it ended with everyone feeling satisfied.

You are even more beautiful than I remember.

Satisfied doesn’t begin to describe it. Um, when we got in rhythm, everything just flowed the way it’s supposed to. I gotta run. I’m starving. So see ya later.

Who me?

Can’t blame a girl for trying and I hate to be a pain in the ass, but this is the second night I’ve been here yelling your name at the top of my lungs and I have nothing to show for it except a sore throat. Okay, well I will have Harold bring you some tea. Mm. Well I hope you know how grateful I am to you for helping me out.

This will all be over soon. This. Hopefully, and I will repay you. I promise. Platonically, I assume. Nevermind. I get it. You love Gabby. She loves you everlasting love fairytale. Finally together after four years, blah, blah, blah. You seem thrilled for us. Hey, I don’t begrudge you and Gabby’s happily ever after.

I just gimme a realistic timeframe here. And how long are you planning to drag this out? Just until EJ blinks, I’m surprised you haven’t run into our esteemed and apparently quite vocal da wandering the halls. Stefan’s practically moved her in here. Okay. Ew. I mean, uncle Stephan and Melinda Trask really?

Actually, no, not really. It’s all just fun and games for Steph and he’s trying to put one over on the call and me try a biscuit, tell y’all about it. No thanks. I’ll pass, um, on the biscuits and on the details, but I thought you and Uncle Stephanie had buried the hatchet. Why? Why would he be trying to trick you?

Because he and Gabby are trying to conspire to get Lee Shin’s dir shares without her sticking to the deal she signed with them. I’m just trying to protect the company. And your future inheritance fine, whatever. Just, uh, pardon me if I don’t stick around for the matinee. The show last night was more than enough for me.

I’m going to the square. To get a coffee gallon. How to do it.

I know, too. Bet he doesn’t wanna try one. Oh, well more press us. Ah, glad to hear it, mama. No. Yeah, it’s been pretty quiet here too. Oh, thank God. Yeah. Um, fingers crossed. All right. Uh, love you. Oh, and, and don’t forget to come by and try one at Talia’s Biscuits. Okay. Talk soon.

Um, what do you mean about things being so quiet? I’d say things are pretty hectic. Oh, I meant in a good way. Mama was worried that that witch Sloan would try something again. But so far nothing. Thank God. You think she’ll finally back off and leave you alone? I wish. But you don’t know Sloane like I. She has pretty much dedicated her life to destroying mine.

And you know what? I have put up with a lot from that woman and I deserve a treat of my own. And I haven’t even tried one of these yet. See?

Oh my God, Julia, this is a man.

Why would you bring that stuff here into my home? Why would you think I’d ever want to eat anything from that murderers bakery? It’s just breakfast. You know? It’s not just anything. Dammit you. You know how I feel about that family and what they did to me in my family. Not only did you go when you gave them money, but you brought their their trash into my home.

Why would you do something like that? I didn’t because I honestly wanted to help you finally get over it.

Get over it. Do you think I should just get over it? Son, I’m, I’m only trying to help you. I know you were traumatized by what happened. What happened is that my mother was killed. She took her last breath when Chanel pushed her off that rooftop. My mother isn’t coming back from the dead. Eric, I don’t get that luxury to enjoy.

Not, not like some people. Please don’t misunderstand what I’m saying. I’m not telling you to like get over the death of your mother or your father. Yeah. You just did. No, I’m not, I’m just, I’m just trying to tell you. You’re only hurting yourself and making everything about your mother’s death. Is this about the way that she died?

Because don’t you give me that same song and dance. It was an accident. I’m warning you, Eric. No, no, no. Don’t poop words in my mouth. I don’t wanna fight with you. But what I’m saying is, It’s just this whole need for revenge. It’s too much. It’s not healthy. Just ease off a bit. You have to see that.

Hmm. I’m so tempted to have another one. Um, you might wanna save some for the customers. See we are having a hard time keeping up. I know, I know. But these biscuits are, slap your mama good. Okay. I’m sorry. Did I just hear you say that you have something today that’s. Our brand new hot outfit oven off the J Breakfast biscuits.

You have to try biscuits. Oh, mm-hmm. Okay. You nevermind. Carbs are my kryptonite. Forget it. Oh, no, no, no. They’re a little carb and high protein. Actually, they may win. Not fat yogurt and ho wheat flour. I know they seem very indulgent, but I promise you a very healthy way to start the day. Trust me, she knows all about.

Yeah, but I know that healthy and paste, you usually mean the taste like cardboard. Oh no, no. These are prove wrong here. Have a free sample. Okay. None. You have outdone yourself. Oh, I didn’t do a thing. This is actually T’S recipe. Uh, Gabby meet Talia Hunter, my new employee. Nice to meet you Talia. Uh, hunter.

And in relation to Jada? Uh, yeah. She’s my sister. You know her, her boss is my brother. Wait, wait, wait. Ra. Mm-hmm. Ray Hernandez is your brother. You’ve gotta be kidding me. Okay. Listen. We have to have a talk. Okay. Or am I the only one that sees that they belong together? Yes. I lost somebody else who sees how obvious it is.

No. When two people belong together, it’s a crime to keep them apart. I couldn’t agree more.

No, of course I wasn’t talking about you. Oh, so you’re saying, damn, you about our roomie. She’s still my wife. Even though I may be the only one who remembers that. Right. Well, what are you so upset with her about? Did something happen at the meeting with Saxtons? Did Gabby miss something up? She never went near the Beast Store.

Last night there was no meeting. EJ Damaris sent me pictures of her real rendezvous with Stephan in bed. Wow. Well she did say that lady whistleblower’s story about Stephan and the DA wasn’t true. That’s why she’s so sure about that. Melinda Trask is Stephan’s beard got me insists that she’s keeping to our.

That all she really wants right now are my Demer shares, but that’s a lie. She wants all of it. She wants Stephan. She wants my shares, everything but me. Okay, so what happened when you confronted her,

Lee, didn’t you? You didn’t say anything. I can’t stop loving her, Wendy, even after all of this, I, I still believe that she belongs with me, not Stephan.

Oh, it’s a glorious day, isn’t it? Morning. Oh, good morning. S Stephan. Madame Da. Uh, Stephan, you didn’t tell me your brother was gonna be down here. I’m not even dressed. If you are going to be a regular presence here, da, you might consider bringing one of your own robes over here. That one’s a tad big on you.

Oh, but it’s cozy and it smells like my Hemi. Oh, plus she just looks irresistible in me. I hope you at least have your own toothbrush. Oh, don’t worry. I do plan on having my own supply of everything I need in Stephan’s room. You’re not getting rid of me anytime soon. Oh, no, we wouldn’t want that. Oh, you.

Sable, I hope. Whatever s Stephan Scott runs in the family, if you know what I mean. Oh, I know what you mean. And I have no complaints. Ooh, breakfast. Biscuits. I don’t mind if I do. Plus we could probably use a little suss in it to keep our engines going. Huh? Up yourself. Oh, look at you. You’re getting crums all down your roll of that.

I guess you’re gonna have to help me get rid of them. Hmm. Just all together, just doing that to get you And they are succeeding. Why the hell hasn’t we done anything? Don’t worry about me, let’s just go for a walk so you can cool down and then we can think about what to do next. Upset. I hope that wasn’t expensive.

Excuse us. I will not. I beg your pardon. I will not excuse you nor pardon your utterly Christ behavior. This, this is insulting. Do you honestly expect us to believe this travesty of love affair, not call you out on it? Holy out about. The fact that you are actually having an affair with Gabby and not this, this, this civil servant

stone. Your obsession with Chanel and Paulina is taking over your. Everything you seem to be doing is about them, even when it comes to eating your breakfast. Stop. Giving them so much power, ease off a bit, and I promise you’ll feel better.

Could you be any more condescending? So I have no life, you know, I don’t hear you complaining. Whenever I suggest that we skip the appetizer and go straight for the main course, it doesn’t mean I don’t notice what’s going on or see what you’re doing. What does that mean? What are you not saying? Wow. Wait, this is, that’s what this is about.

You think I’m terrorizing Chanel and her mother, don’t you?

I never said that, but did you think it?

Yeah. Yes I did.

Chanel you mind watching the table for me for a few minutes? Me and Gabby have a lot to talk about. Sure. But I can’t promise you that I won’t eat away the rest of our prophets. I am so happy that you are on the same page. Lord knows our stubborn ugly siblings can’t see the spot it themselves. No, I think they spotted, they’re just afraid to do anything about it.

It’s that stupid department policy that was put in place. I know I have literally nudged Jada a thousand times, and I even took a chance with the rape myself to see how he feels about my sister. Yeah, he definitely shot me down. Of course he did. That’s okay. We’re gonna come up with a plan together and if it’s meant to be, they’re gonna find their way to each other.

I know from experienced coffee, must have coffee. Try one of these firms.

Wow. Mm-hmm. Wow. Just, wow. We’re gonna have to put that in our new ad. I was gonna say, sweet bits, biscuits. Bring zombies back to life. Yeah. Why are you so tired? Anyway, Wendy, keeping you up late. Hmm. I wish that were the case. Huh? Something going on with you two. I think she’s gonna dump me for trip.

The after everything she started the. You actually think you still have a chance with Gabby?

I know I’m supposed to throw a fit and let her have it and tell her she’s never gonna get her hands on these shares, but I’ve been holding on to hope for so long. I don’t think I can give up now and I’m not fooling myself about her feelings for. But things here were actually starting to work. She, she, she said she was looking forward to my breakfast, even if she pretended like she could care less.

And she loved the deal I set up with Saxtons. Yeah. And she uses it as an excuse to sneak out to see stuff. Yeah. Yeah. That hurts. Obvious. Damnit Jing when I, I really thought that if, if we just spend time together and in close quarters like this, shed remember how great we were, better than anything she could ever hope to have a Stephan, what’s happened to me?

It’s not like you to lose. You’re cool like this brother. Oh good god, you don’t get it, do you? You don’t get it. The game is over. Lee has pictures. Pictures that I took of you and Gabby in the secret room. And any minute now, Lee is going to lower the boom on you and Gabby and any hope she had of getting those demeanor shares.

Does this mean I’m out of a job? I’m afraid so, but I owe you Melinda, and your performance was.

Now if you excuse me, I need to, uh, hash this out with my brother, I’ll go shower and leave you to it. Bye-bye.

So you actually spied. On me and Gabby, it’s good to know there’s no bar too low for you. Ej. Oh, oh. Will you listen to him? He and Gabby are happy to sneak around like a couple of horny teenagers lying through their teeth, stealing company shares, and somehow I’m the one who has sunk too low. I am protecting the family business from a vi a Stephan all night.

Talk about her like that. You may not see who she really is, but I do all or too clearly, and I will not apologize for that. But do you want to know when you. Well, s Stephen, besides a liar and a cheat, of course, the traitor to him and everything that he created.

I didn’t wanna suspect you still, but yes, I admitted you did cross my mind. Even though I swore to you that I wasn’t the one trashing Paul’s office sending threatening notes, like I know anyone who has a personal agenda against him in Austin, also, what? What? Paulina received a note, a note with cut out letters from a magazine when I noticed a stack right here on your desk with scissors on.

You actually checked up on me. You went through the magazine, didn’t you?

Did you feel any kind of remorse when you saw that they were intact? No, of course not. Because you assumed I got rid of the evidence. No, I didn’t assume anything. And but then that’s when Abe, he showed up to confront you and he got you. And I thought that you defended. How silly was I to everything that you would have my back, so I did, I I do have your back.

When I told you about Abe coming here to confront you, you sent somebody a text that is exactly the same time that Paulina got a threatening note, a message via text. Well then I’m guilty, obviously. Would I be here if I thought that I no longer give a damn what you. I’m not in the habit of sleeping with people who think I’m out committing felonies in my spare time.

Just get the, get the hell out, okay? Now, and you can collect all your crap from the street once I throw it out the window. So come on, please get. Out

right now.

And you know what? Thank you. You did me a favor by not trusting me. Now I have so much more time to obsess over Chanel and her mother than wasting it on you.

So, You and Wendy. It’s sober. I don’t want to talk about it. Uh, what about you and your mom? Is that horrible woman still terrorizing you? Yes. That horrible woman. A k a Sloan Peterson. She denies that. She’s the one who made all those nasty threats. No surprise, but we’re gonna prove it was her. Anyway, that’s me.

So tell me about you. What is going on with you and Wendy? I thought you told me things were picking up. Oh, remember, I, I just said I didn’t want to talk about it. Oh, come on Johnny. I’m your friend. And I’m a good listener, you know that, and maybe I can even cheer you up. Okay, fine. Um, well, Tripp found out that Wendy and I never said we were exclusive, so he got right to work.

I’m confused if. You and Wendy aren’t exclusive, and then she goes out with trip. That doesn’t mean it’s over between you guys, does it? You don’t understand. Okay. Her, her, her and Trip are already really close. Okay. And so are you and Wendy, right? Yeah. Okay. Then what makes you think you’re getting dumb?

What makes you think I stand a chance? All right. I mean, Wendy’s not dumb. Okay. Trip has way more to offer than I do. I, I can’t compete.

There’s nothing wrong with you. Okay. Unrequited love. It’s, it’s painful, obviously. And unless you’ve been keeping it from me, you haven’t been this much in love with anyone before, have you? No, never. I didn’t think so. And I hate to tell you to give up hope, but you’re going to, only because you’re my big brother.

I hate to see you hurting like this, but you only have to go on your deal with Gabby and if she’s already sleeping with her ex I know, I know. No, but you’re not acting like you know. You have to open your eyes, Lee. This isn’t the time for wishful thinking. Gabby is cheating on you and lying to you. This isn’t the act of a woman who’s starting to warm towards you.

Okay? You need to think. I should go. I’m just getting in your way.

I am the trader of this. Me? Mm-hmm. This coming from the miserable son of a bitch who offered his hand to me in a truce and immediately started working behind my back to sabotage me. Thought you had me dead to rights, didn’t you? As soon as you set me and Gabby up to be found in that hotel room. So, yeah, I worked quickly to think of a plausible pla bruise.

Plausible. Oh, it was idiotic. Oh, it wasn’t meant to fool you, brother. It was meant to make you open your mouth, admit what you were doing. But, um, you didn’t have the guts, did you? And you didn’t have the intelligence or the willpower not to have your ridiculous plan blow up and smoke. Well, now you and Gabby can be together and made like a couple of wild dogs and heat for all I care.

What’s really important to me is that Gabby can no longer get her hands on those dir. You blew it Stephan. I hope one quickie in the basement was worth it.

Oh wow. A text and a call at the same time aren’t. Popular. Listen, I really wanna continue this conversation, but I, I have to take this. I’m sorry. Oh yeah, for sure. Why are you calling me on this phone? You know, maybe can see the history. It doesn’t matter. Cat’s outta the back. EJ saw us together in the secret room.

What? I know. And he sent a picture to Lee. Oh my. That’s why Lee said he wanted to talk and he was so cold this morning and I was trying to figure out why shares. I know. I’m sorry I, this is all my fault. No, no, it is not. We decided this. It’s what we wanted. All right. Uh, we’ll figure this out. But look, there is a bright side.

We don’t have to pretend anymore. Well, yeah, that is a bright side.

What do you wanna do now?

All right. Look, go pack your things. I’m gonna go to the apartment, Lee and I will have it out, and then you can move right in. And don’t forgive to give Melinda her walking papers. Whoa. What’s wrong? I don’t know. I think I just, I got excited for a second. The blood rushed outta my head, but I’m good. Now.

I’m gonna go pack. Are you sure you don’t want me there when you talk to Lee? No, I have to do this. I love you. Love you too.

Hold up. Where does all this I can compete stuff come from? What has Tripp got that you don’t? What are you so worried about? He’s a doctor. I’m just, I’m just some, some failed movie maker. Plus he’s, he’s Bills, he’s handsome. He’s guy like a certain, someone that is standing right in front of me. Plus he marks the sympathy box.

His mom is in an institution. The guy’s got it all. Okay. Are you done? Because I am tired of hearing you put yourself down, Johnny, you have got just as much to offer as trip. And the last thing you are is a failed movie maker. Oh, right. Because my movies have been such hits. Okay. You just haven’t made the movie that’s gonna put you on the map yet.

But look, look, I, I like Tripp a lot. I think he’s a great guy, but so are you Johnny Damira, you are all that. And so much more. Would I have married you otherwise?

Well, thank you. I really appreciate the pep talk. Did. Not really. Oh, come on. This isn’t like you, Josh. I know. I don’t know where my usual self-confidence has disappeared to, but thank you for reminding me of how we used to be back when we got married in Italy, the way you swept me off my feet. Look, I know the way that it ended for us was not pretty.

The way it began, it was magical, spontaneous, and way crazy. But I was so swept off my feet and seeing the San Carlo of the four fountains and that little church you hadn’t been to since you were 10 years old. It was incredible. So beautiful. So are you. I remember standing there and looking at the priest and just thinking to myself, how did I get so lucky?

I mean, who wouldn’t wanna marry this amazing guy? So you can tell yourself confidence to get it together.

G, are you okay? Yeah, just, uh, no, no sleep last night, remember? Mm-hmm. Are you okay? Uh, yeah. It, it’s hot out here, right? Or is it? Not as hot as it was in Italy. Remember, that didn’t bother us. Yeah, that is. That is certainly correct. Hey, you remember that night we stayed up all night long drinking wine and watching the fishing boats go in and out.

I was for everything.

All I remember is that. Fred little dress you had on just, just standing up there next to me with the at the altar and Chanel. Hey. Um, just wanna let you know I’m starting another badge of those biscuit. Oh, okay, great. Johnny loved his

Johnny. Jen, what are you doing? Chanel Dupre, will you marry me?

Got your text. Abby. There’s something I need to say. I think I know.

How did you get here so fast? Huh? Who cares? You’re here now?

Yes.

Still don’t get why Lee hasn’t acted on that photo I sent to him. I know he got it. I saw the notification. I maybe still upset about it, but it doesn’t matter because you won and Gabby lost as she was destined too. Mm-hmm.

Oh, that’s work. I gotta take this. That’s okay. I need to get to the office anyway. Talk later. Definitely.

Hi, this is Nicole. Yes, those files should be in.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Uh, I’m gonna have to call you back.

When did this happen? When did what happened? Did you go back to the church without telling me No? Why would I do that? Then why are you wearing that? What’s wrong with what I’m wearing? Eric, if you’re not really, you know, then you shouldn’t be walking around dressed like that. Dress like, what a priest

Do you have a minute to chat? Yeah. For you out two. What’s up?

Sorry. I got a couple of these, um, breakfast biscuits from Sweet Beds from dude. I do not know what they put in these, but they’re like, crap,

Chanel spontaneity has always been our thing in, you know, I’ve always been crazy about you. I think that goes both ways, so, Will you please do me the honor of becoming Mrs. John Roman Damara. One more time.

I know everything Gabby. It’s over. What are you talking about? Enough with the pretending we’re done. We are far from done baby. Our story is just getting started and our. He’s gonna stand the test of time.

Stephan, what are you staring at? Only the most beautiful sight I have ever seen.

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

This is an easy, so I’d appreciate it. You let me say what I need to say. Oh, I see. We leave the talking for another day. Where are you going? I said, stop it. What is wrong with you? I don’t appreciate being mocked, baby. I would never Don’t call me baby. I’m sorry. I didn’t have bothered you. You want to know what bothers me, Gabby?

Your need to make me feel more foolish. Empathetic than I already do. What are you? I get it. Okay. I. I’m the loser. I need to face reality that there’s no hope for us, except that this sham of a marriage needs to end fine, but let me do it with some semblance of dignity. I marriage. It was not sham. Uh, g granted, okay, we started off kind of on a, on, on the wrong note, but then our hearts grew to love each other and, and, and it was wonderful.

It is wonderful. And, oh, no, no, no, no. Please say that you remember. Please, please say that you remember our love. Don’t use Stephan.

It’s not nice to tease a girl, Stephan. Oh, who’s teasing? I adore you. I almost believe you. Hmm. Well, just in case there’s still some confusion, let me spell it out for you one more time. Not only are you the most stunningly beautiful woman I have ever met. You are the most brilliant, captivating, dynamic woman on the planet.

And I am madly in love with you.

Oh, s Steph and I, I thought there was a chance we’d get close while I was helping you out, but I didn’t wanna get my hopes up. Come again. What you just said about me, were you being serious? I’ve never been more serious about anything at all my life. This you, my love only woman I want to be with and only you.

So what are you saying? Of course, I’ll marry you, G. Oh, that is amazing. I’m so happy. Me too. But wait, what about Wendy? Yeah. What about Wendy?

I’m a priest. What are you talking about? Look,

you’re right. How can I do this? I can give big trouble. Damnit, Eric. I can’t help it. I mean, just, I’m mad at. I could get in big trouble. I mean, impersonating a priest is like sacrilege. I know. When you’re cursing on top of it, we, we could get struck by lightning. Oh, forgive me father, for I know not what I’m saying.

Or wearing right now. You’ve gotta get out of these clothes before someone sees you and call the pope. This is why I’m thinking I’m gonna get on that right now. Yeah. Oh, why did you stop? Why are you following me? Well, because you must have stolen that clothing from St. Luke’s. I gotta get it dry, clean before anyone realizes it’s missing.

Good plan. But let’s go.

Oh, you didn’t hear me Sping. I said our crew was gonna kick the fire department’s asses here in the charity softball tournament. Oh yeah, you heard that? Listen. Oh, okay. Well, not if I see you first guy.

Ah. All right. Where were we? Uh, why? You said you wanted to chat? Yes. It’s on your mind. J Jake. Okay. How much coffee have you had today, boss? Normal amount. What do you ask? No reason. You, uh, you have a little something. Yeah. Oh my God. Wow. Thank you. Would’ve been really embarrassing if I, uh, went in front of a city council looking like a big old slob, huh?

Right, right. Anyway, um, I wanted to apologize. Or leaving so abruptly yesterday. Oh, it’s all good. Good, good. I’m glad, uh, cuz I, I love my job and I love working for you. And the last thing I want is for things to be awkward between us.

Why? Why the hell would it ever be awkward? Department policy, we discussed this. We have to obey the rules. Rules, yeah. Rules, rules, rules. You know, the, the guys that make these rules, they, they sit behind the desk, they’re pencil pushers and we, where do they get off making these rules and telling us who we should fraternize with.

The new policy came directly from the mayor who feels very strongly about superiors and subordinates not getting involved. Okay. Yeah. And, and you know, I love the mayor. I love Abe. Right. But he’s not a cop anymore. You know, he’s got his fancy job and his fancy wife and it, I just, I just don’t think that he gets us anymore.

I don’t follow. Yeah. Okay. Well, you and. We work long shifts overtime, steak outs, right? I mean, it is hard. It, it is stressful. It is hard. Did I say that already? I mean, whatever the, the point is this, right? You and me, we wake up every day and we risk our lives to make sure this damn city is safe, right? And, and if we feel comfort in each other’s arms, then that’s cool.

I mean, we should just go for it, right? Screw the policy. Screw them. Ra, are you okay? I’m, uh, I’m great. The, the best I’ve ever been. I’m just saying I don’t think that we should let the man dictate our lives, the man. Yes.

I, I just can’t tell you how good you look right now. Dress like that. Like what? Come on. Come on, hunter. You are right now. Okay. I, I, I don’t. I don’t know what’s going on right now. I have no idea what’s going on today.

Wendy. Hey, I didn’t see you there. Yeah, obviously not. Did I see what I think I just saw? Did you really just propose to Chanel? Uh, yeah. Yeah. I, I think I did. Johnny, Wendy, what? What’s the problem? Oh, you really don’t think proposing to your ex-wife while you’re dating me is a problem. Well, you never said we were exclusive, so it’s, well, Johnny, you could have at least given her a heads up, you know, as a courtesy, do me a.

Stay out of it. Why are you so bad outta shape, aren’t you dating Trip the drip?

I cannot. To make a love to you. Come down, take a step, and take me right now.

Uh, Melinda. What? Yes. Love. What you doing in my bed? What the hell happened to Gabby?

Stephan? Stephan? Answer. Why? Why are you calling me Stephan? What else would I call you? I mean, that’s your name. You look at me and see your ex-husband. I look at you and I see the love of my life who I thought I’d lost forever, and now you’re back and I’m never gonna let you go. I am Stephan. You are Stephan.

You remember? Of course, I remember it. I’m the man who loves you more than anything in this world. And I love you too, and I want you

take me to bed.

No peeking. I’m not.

I’m, are you almost done? Cause we really need to hurry yet. Yes, you go. Oh,

thank you. You know, for the life of me, I still don’t know why I end up dressed as a priest. Well, I’m just glad I was here to help and that no one saw you. I need to get these to the cleaners. Yeah. Make sure you’re steaming the bill. Who’s Bill? Okay. You know what? Just tell me later. Huh? I need to save your soul.

I appreciate that.

Oh, how did you. Do what? Change to that bikini. What do you mean? I’m not wearing a, oh. How does that happen? No idea. But you look good inside that bikini. You know what it reminds me of when you used to model for Bella Magazine? Wait, we should take some pictures for full-time sake. Oh yeah, that’s a great idea.

Great. Wait. I need a camera. Okay. I found it. Okay. Whenever you’re ready. Yeah, yeah. Okay. Okay. Come on. Perfect. Alright. Got it.

What’s wrong? You look amazing, Nicole. I mean, I love being on a beach with. Me too. I love that sand and the water. Sun. Ugh. Oh hot. Yes.

What the hell are you doing? I’d like to know the answer to that. Do you ever hear of knocking? You know, if you want to be alone, Rafe, maybe try locking the door. But this isn’t what it looks like, but what it looks like is that the police commissioner is coming onto you and you’re not very happy about it.

You know, you just committed a very serious crime. No, no, no, no, no. Did you even go to law school? Okay. Because in this country you’re guilty until proven innocent, and therefore I am innocent. You. You’re guilty. You’re guilty of marching. My mellow What? I meant horsing, my mellow. I said, Marshing, my mellow marsh marshmallow.

Do you My God,

honey. Anyway, what do you want? You summoned me. I did, yes. After Detective Hunter here raided my home, she left me a voicemail saying that she would like me to come down to the station as soon as possible. So, What I had a search warrant, whatever. Look, I brought my phone like you asked, okay? And yes, it is the only one that I have.

Great. I’ll have the tech team examine it right away. You’re not gonna find anything. By the way, with me and Paul, nothing connecting us to the alleged harassment, there’s nothing alleged about this. She received a threatening text message, not from me.

Talk about harassment. Okay, look, it looks like I came out of bad time. I’ll take that phone now.

Fine. But to know that you’ll be wasting even more of your time and the taxpayer’s money, and when you do finally come crawling back to me yet again to admit that this little witch hunt of yours has come up empty, be prepared to face a lawsuit. Because I am really getting sick of this. Du,

what are you looking at?

You are alive.

Toki. That’s you and Trip were dating. I told you he was moving in on her. Oh, I love trip. You guys make such a cute couple. You know, he and I did almost have sex once, but we were hammered so it doesn’t count. And you don’t have to worry about me selling him no trip and I are not dating. Oh, whoa, whoa. Wait, wait a minute.

I came over. Apartment the other night, and I told you all about my big plans to whine you and dine you at the bistro, but you told me that you had plans with Dr. Boy. We ended up not going out. Ah, drip flaked on you. Trip didn’t flake. Joey was in an accident and you wanted to be in Seattle with his brother.

Oh my God. Is Joey okay? He will be. Oh good. Okay. I’m gonna send him a gift basket and I’m gonna put it all against some donuts and cookies. Oh, oh. And send him doza. The biscuits and send me some too. Can we please get back to your engagement? Did you really just propose to Chanel because I agreed to go on a date with trip?

Yeah. Yeah, I think I did. Unbelievable. Wendy. Wendy, don’t be so mad. You, you can totally come to our wedding and we can even go on a date after if it’s cool with shit now, please tell me you’re. No, of course not. I, I, I just call a bistro, move the reservation. It’ll be,

you know, your sister warned me about how badly you treat women. She said You are reckless. Impulsive. But I didn’t believe her. Oh, my sister dis me. You too. Why is she such a hater? It’s getting really old. No. You know what’s getting old? This conversation?

Yeah. Johnny, I really thought we had something special. I really wanted this to work.

Mature the trip. No, I’m interested in trip, so rather than hiding it, I wanted to be open and honest about it. You know, do the mature and respectful thing and, and try to clarify my feelings for him before fully committing to you. It never occurred to me that it would make you do something so stupid. I mean, God.

You really are the jackass. Everyone says you are. We’re done.

So where should we go on our honeymoon?

I want you so bad step, please. I can’t wait any longer.

No, no, no, no, no. Gabby, I, I can’t do this. What? What’s wrong step? Don’t you want me? Of course. I want you, but not like this. I just, I don’t understand. Gabby, please. What? Tell me what is the problem step? Just tell me. The problem is I’m not stepping,

where is Gabby? How the hell should I know? What is this Some kind of game? No, I was just about to ask you the same thing. What did you do with her? Where is Gabby? I didn’t do anything to Gabby. Okay. Well, she was here and then, then she, she, she. And then she, what? She turned into you. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Are you, are you saying that you were just pretending that I was Gabby? Wait, that’s the only reason why you wanted me. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. She was here. Okay. If you’re gonna use me to fulfill some fantasies about your ex-wife, at least have the guts to. Down up to it when you get caught. That’s not, that’s not at all.

I take time outta my incredibly busy life to pulling over on EJ and Lee and this is the things I get under humiliation.

No, not laughing. Don’t you dare laugh. Who’s laughing? Step. What the, what the hell are you doing? Melinda? Melinda, Melinda, take it easy. Melinda. Take me. Going to kill you.

Melin. Hey, what has gotten into you? Let’s help you entitle crepe. You have messed my head for the last time. Oh my God. Oh, Melinda, are you okay? I think I need a doctor.

I can. I’m not, Stephan, what are you talking about? I’m looking right at you, but what you’re seeing isn’t real, baby. You don’t have to do this. You don’t have to push me away. I already know that. Ley knows we’re together. He found out though we don’t have to sneak around or lie or anything. We’re free. And yes, I’m gonna lose this.

DER share’s a big deal. What matters now is that we’re free to show the entire world how we feel. That’s what matters now. Yes, Gabby, I did find out about you and Stephanie EJ sent me a picture of the two of you having sex in the Dera Wine Cellars. Why do you keep doing that? Why do you keep talking like you’re in third person for the last time?

I am not your ex-husband. I’m your current. The pitiful excuse for a man who was so desperate to hold onto you. I almost ended up in prison and, and after that, I still didn’t get the hint and diluted myself into thinking I could win you back with Sheila Keels and Van Gogh

Lee. Oh, thank God. What is going on? You’ve been hallucinating. You take something? No. What? No, I don’t do drugs. Well, clearly someone drugged you. Yeah, no, I, I do feel a little weird. Okay. Just take it easy. Okay. Oh, wait, lemme watch out for what?

Who the hell is Duke? I have no idea I missed you buddy. Oh God, you look great. Recovered like a chimp. Recovered what is from decapitation. It props to your effect, but uh, you shouldn’t be here right now. Okay. Says um. Nicole and I are over, and I was trying to get busy with this one when the uptight blonde witch showed up.

Excuses. No, it’s cool. Like we’re still buds. It’s just having, uh, the stuffed bear that my wife and I shared custody with, show up on my date. It’s just a little cramping. My style date, what, what type of date?

Why, why is the room I’m spinning right now? Are you okay? Uh, No, no, no, no. Oh, great. Breathe free.

Oh, I want you so much you here. All I want you.

Wait, wait, wait. What? What about Sloan? She needed things because I had trouble believing that she wasn’t stalking, pulling it, you know, lot of sex for her. Hmm mm-hmm. Wait a minute. What about you and ej? PJ is so boring. Told you all he wants to do is plot against his stupid undead brother. Be with you is so much more fun.

Except they run with your mocha. No, no, it’s, it’s fine. And why aren’t you drinking it? Ah, I don’t know. I guess I’m just kind of bummed that Wendy dumped me. I mean, I can see why she wouldn’t want to keep dating me if you and I are getting married. But I’m surprised it was a deal breaker. Hey, hey, hands.

What? Those things are delicious. Those things are for paying customer. Well, don’t I get a family discount? Oh, your family. Oh. Forgive me. My name is Johnny Dara. I am Chanel’s once and Future husband. Once and Future. Yeah, we’re getting married and you are the first person that we’ve told except for my almost girlfriend, but she doesn’t really count because she was eavesdropping on the proposal, so, but they’re getting married maybe.

Maybe you, you said? Yes. I’m not sure why I said that. Wait, wait, wait. Are you saying that you don’t want to be my first and second wife? I think so. So does this mean the honeymoon’s off too? Sorry. Hmm. Oh, well, I guess I should probably get home. Yeah, and I, I have to get back to work. Oh, where do you work?

Here, here at the Bakers. Cool. Oh, cool. Yeah. Well, maybe. Since I got dumped twice in one day, could I get some biscuits for the road?

Okay, well, I’m just gonna go home and take a nap.

What was that all about?

Woo. What did we just do?

Eric, open up. Are you in there? Oh my God, this mo sh. Maybe she’ll go away. Eric, open up. We need to talk.

Hello? I don’t think she’s going away.

What’s with the pillow? Um, I was getting dressed. Okay. Uh, so look, I, I came here cuz I wanted to apologize for overreacting. You know, I thought about, I did say to you that I was still planning on. Getting revenge on Chanel and Paulina. And while I’m not guilty of anything that they’re accusing me of, you know, it makes total sense.

Yeah. That you would find me suspicious. No, it’s not Mickey. Is that all? Oh, aren’t you gonna invite me in? I, uh, I, uh, uh, what, when, have you ever been nervous about me watching you get dressed? I don’t think so. I’m, I’ll call you later. Okay. Good. You’re hilarious.

How’s,

okay,

detective Har, I need to speak to you immediate. This isn’t a good time. Mr. Damara, what if I need to report an attempting partner? Two, actually. Okay. I’m listening. I’d rather EJ poisoned me and District Attorney Trask. He needs to be arrested. Do you have proof of this alleged poisoning? No, but I’m pretty sure he poisoned these breakfast biscuits.

We ate, did you say breakfast biscuits? Yeah. Nicole picked him up from Sweet Bits. Melinda and I both ate ’em and started hallucinating. She’s in the ER right now. Your brother may not be the one responsible for this.

Gabby, is that really you? My love’s me. Hey, what happened to her? That’s what we’re here to find out. Please hold me.

It’s gonna be okay.

Thanks. You feeling any better? Yeah. I don’t know what happened to me like with Johnny before. So he really asked you to marry him? Yeah, and I said yes, which is nuts. I, I don’t know. He was just so excited and I got caught up in the moment and I, I guess it was just like a temporary moment of insanity.

Isis they send you on a donut, right? I wish I’m actually here to investigate a crime. Did something happen to my mother? Ms. Price is fine. But the police commissioner and the DA are both in the hospital suffering from hallucination. Oh God, that’s awful. It’s, but what does that have to do with the bakery?

Well, they both ate breakfast biscuits that they purchased here this morning. There must have been something in them. Have the town had breakfast, uh, biscuits from here this morning. So have you gotten reports from other people being sick? Not yet. But if you really sold that many of them, then it’s likely that we.

This could ruin Chanel’s business. Oh my God. Oh my God. Okay. One step at a time. Okay. Chanel, do you think it’s possible that someone may have spiked those biscuits? Yes, and I know exactly who it was.

I was fast. This isn’t what it looks. One more person says that to me today. I swear to God. I meant, I know. Really, son. I don’t know how this happened. Yes, you do. You got undressed and you took out your banana. She means camera. Yeah. He was gonna take pictures of me. Yeah. For all time sake. But I’m. Think that really ever happened?

Hmm. I If you’re trying to convince me that the two of you didn’t just have sex or, oh no, we definitely had sex. But you, we were wearing a bikini. Yeah. Wait, what happened to it? Yeah. Wearing my collar. Collar caller. Yeah. You were supposed to take that to dry cleaner, which I don’t think ever happened. Well, I thought he was dressed as a priest and turns out he.

Yeah, and she was wearing a bikini, but now that’s gone.

So you guys are seeing things that aren’t there. And thinking things that are, there are something else. Yeah, exactly. And you guys ended up in bed together and you both don’t know how it happened.

It sounds to me like you guys were drugged. It had to be Sloan Peterson. Are you sure? Yeah, it makes perfect sense. I leaked the story about her harassing mama to the Spectator, and now she’s coming after me. But how would Sloan know that you were the source? Well, I ran into her yesterday and I told her, and then we got into it physically.

Thank goodness I was able to break it up though. But not before Sloany blood. Oh my God, that woman is a total psycho. And that is exactly what the headline on Leo’s column said. So it makes sense. Look, it cost her business. So now she’s trying to hurt my business. But Sloane was at the police station when RA passed out, and she seemed just as shocked as I was.

Well, she was clearly putting on an. Oh my God. Maybe the, that’s what happened to Johnny. Johnny Dara. Yeah. Johnny was acting really weird before, and actually so was I, and we both had those biscuits. Oh, this has Sloane Peterson written all over it. Who else would do something that twisted.

Okay. I don’t know whether Sloan is behind this or not. I can promise you this. This is going to be my top priority and I’m gonna find out who’s been drugging the citizens of. And I’m going to bring them to justice.

Days of Our Lives Update

Update written by Joseph

After Chanel and Talia leave the Bakery together, someone sneaks in and pours something in to a bowl of dough to tamper with their product.

The next morning, Chanel and Talia are at the bakery putting out biscuit samples and talk about all the customers they’ve had. Talia hopes they can keep up with the demand. Chanel declares that with Talia on board, Sweet Bits Bakery will be more successful than ever.

Eric goes to Sloan’s apartment with breakfast for them. Sloan questions Eric not being there when she woke up. Eric says he didn’t want to wake her so he went to get them breakfast. Sloan calls it sweet of him but then sees that he went to Chanel’s bakery to get it and questions what the hell is wrong with him.

Nicole brings EJ breakfast from Sweet Bits Bakery at the DiMera Mansion. Nicole tells him to show the proper gratitude first, so they kiss until Johnny walks in. EJ says good morning but Johnny says it’s not a good one for him because he didn’t sleep at all. Johnny mentions the loud noises from down the hall that sounded like wild animals. EJ informs Johnny that the noise wasn’t coming from his room but from Stefan’s. Johnny is surprised and questions if Stefan and Gabi are back together but EJ reveals it was not Gabi, it was Melinda Trask.

Stefan comes out of the shower and questions what Melinda is doing and why she is undressed in the bed. Melinda responds that she knows he just showered but she wondered if he would want to get dirty again in the dirtiest way possible.

Li is at home, looking at the photo that EJ sent him of Gabi and Stefan in bed. Gabi comes out from her room and questions where breakfast is as she admits she had begun looking forward to Li’s breakfasts. Li guesses he wasn’t in the mood. Gabi asks if something is wrong. Li claims that his father has been texting him non stop about an issue he has to deal with, so she’s on her own for breakfast. Gabi decides she will go out then. Gabi tells Li to tell his father that she says hello and that she looks forward to being a major DiMera shareholder again in about four months. Li stops Gabi and points out that she never told him about her dinner meeting from last night. Li guesses it ended with everyone feeling satisfied. Gabi thinks back to being with Stefan last night. Gabi remarks that satisfied doesn’t begin to describe it as everything just flowed the way it’s supposed to. Gabi then says she’s starving so she’ll see him later and exits the apartment. Li smashes his phone against the wall and screams “damn her” as Wendy comes out from her room.

Melinda tells Stefan that he can’t blame a girl for trying and points out that this is the second night she’s been here screaming his name and she has nothing to show for it. Stefan offers to have Harold bring her some tea. Stefan tells Melinda how grateful he is to her for helping him out and assures it will all be over soon. Stefan promises to repay her. Melinda assumes he means platonically and says she gets that Stefan and Gabi have an everlasting love. Melinda says she doesn’t begrudge them but questions how long he plans on dragging this out. Stefan says just until EJ blinks.

EJ is surprised that Johnny hasn’t ran in to Melinda in the halls since Stefan has practically moved her in. Johnny questions Stefan being with Melinda but EJ says he’s not really as it’s all just fun and games for Stefan as he tries to put one over on him and Nicole. Nicole offers Johnny a biscuit from Sweet Bits Bakery but Johnny says he’ll pass. Johnny thought EJ and Stefan buried the hatchet so he questions why Stefan would be trying to get one over on EJ. EJ explains that Stefan and Gabi are trying to conspire to get Li’s DiMera shares without Gabi sticking to the deal that she signed with Li. EJ insists that he’s just trying to protect the company and Johnny’s future inheritance. Johnny says whatever and he doesn’t want to stick around as last night’s show was enough for him so he’s going to the town square for coffee. Nicole decides that just means more for them and has one of the drugged biscuits.

Chanel talks to Paulina on the phone and says things have been pretty quiet. Chanel tells her not to forget to come by to try one of Talia’s biscuits as they hang up. Talia questions Chanel saying things were quiet. Chanel says she meant in a good way because Paulina was worried that Sloan would try something again, but so far nothing. Talia wonders if Sloan will finally back off. Chanel wishes but states that Sloan has pretty much dedicated her life to destroying hers. Chanel adds that she’s put up with a lot from Sloan, so she deserves a treat of her own. Chanel points out that she hasn’t even tried one of the biscuits. Chanel then takes a bite and tells Talia that it’s amazing.

Sloan questions why Eric would bring that in to her home and why he would think that she’d ever want to eat something from that murderous bakery. Eric says that it’s just breakfast. Sloan argues that he knows how she feels about that family and what they did to her. Sloan complains that not only did he give them money but he brought it in to her home and questions why he would do something like that. Eric responds that he did it because he wants to help her finally get over it. Sloan questions Eric thinking she should just get over it. Eric says he’s only trying to help and he knows she was traumatized by what happened. Sloan argues that what happened was her mother was killed and took her last breath when Chanel pushed her off the roof top. Sloan complains that her mother is not coming back from the dead and she doesn’t get that luxury like some people. Eric clarifies that he’s not telling her to get over the death of her mother and father, he’s just trying to tell her that she’s only hurting herself by making everything about the death of her mother. Sloan asks if this is because of the way she died and doesn’t want to hear that it was an accident. Eric doesn’t want to fight with her but worries that this need for revenge isn’t healthy, so she needs to ease off a bit.

Talia jokes with Chanel about saving biscuits for the customers. Gabi approaches so Chanel and Talia encourage her to try their new breakfast biscuits. Talia promises it’s a healthy way to start the day and offers Gabi a free sample which she accepts. Gabi says Chanel has outdone herself. Chanel says it’s actually Talia’s recipe and introduces Talia to Gabi. Gabi recognizes Talia’s last name so Talia confirms she is Jada’s sister while Gabi reveals that she is Rafe’s sister. Talia says they have to have a talk about how perfect Rafe and Jada are for each other. Gabi is excited that someone else sees how obvious it is. Talia declares that when two people belong together, it’s a crime to keep them apart. Gabi remarks that she couldn’t agree more.

Li complains to Wendy that Gabi is still his wife even though he might be the only one that remembers that. Wendy asks what he’s so upset about. Li explains that there was no meeting as Gabi never went near the Bistro last night while EJ sent him pictures of Gabi in bed with Stefan. Wendy recalls Gabi saying the story about Stefan and Melinda wasn’t true. Li says this is why Gabi was so sure of that. Li argues that Gabi wants Stefan and his shares and everything but him. Wendy asks what happened when he confronted her, then questions him not saying anything. Li responds that he can’t stop loving Gabi even after all of this, as he still believes that she belongs with him, not Stefan.

Stefan and Melinda go to the living room to put on a show for EJ and Nicole. Melinda talks about having everything she needs in Stefan’s room and tells EJ that he’s not getting rid of her anytime soon. Stefan takes some of the drugged breakfast biscuits for he and Melinda. Nicole steps aside with EJ and encourages him to keep it together and not let them get to him. EJ wonders why Li hasn’t done anything yet. Nicole tells EJ not to worry and suggests they go for a walk to think of what to do next. Stefan and Melinda act playful with each other and end up breaking a glass. EJ shouts at them and questions being expected to believe this travesty of a love affair and not call them out on it. EJ then declares that Stefan is actually having an affair with Gabi and not Melinda.

Eric worries that Sloan is letting her obsession with Paulina and Chanel take over her life and everything she seems to be doing is about them, even eating her breakfast. Eric tells her to stop giving them so much power and to ease off a bit, then she will feel better. Sloan calls him condescending. Eric argues that he sees what’s going on and what she’s doing. Sloan asks what he’s not saying. Sloan guesses he thinks that she’s terrorizing Paulina and Chanel. Eric says he never said that, but admits he thought it.

Talia asks Chanel to watch the table for her because she and Gabi have a lot to talk about. Talia steps away with Gabi and talks about them being on the same page because their siblings can’t see it. Gabi thinks they see it but they’re just afraid to do anything about it because of the work policy. Talia mentions pushing Jada and even trying with Rafe but he shot her down. Gabi assures they will come up with a plan together and if it’s meant to be, they will find their way to each other. Johnny comes by the Bakery, saying he needs coffee. Chanel has him try one of the drugged breakfast biscuits first. Chanel asks why he’s so tired and if Wendy is keeping him up late. Johnny wishes that was the case, but he thinks Wendy is going to dump him for Tripp.

Wendy questions Li thinking he actually still has a chance with Gabi. Li knows he’s supposed to throw a fit and tell her that she’s never getting his shares, but he’s been holding onto hope for so long that he can’t give up now. Li says he’s not fooling himself about Gabi’s feelings for Stefan, but argues that things here were starting to work. Li brings up that Gabi said she loved his breakfast and the deal he set up for her which Wendy points out Gabi uses to sneak out to see Stefan. Li says that hurts obviously but complains that he really thought if they spent time together, she’d remember how great they were together and better than anything she’d have with Stefan. Li questions what is wrong with him.

Stefan comments on EJ losing his cool. EJ tells him that he doesn’t get it and the game is over. EJ informs Stefan that Li has pictures that he took of Stefan and Gabi in the secret room, so any minute now, Li is going to lower the boom on Stefan and Gabi and any hope that Gabi had of getting Li’s DiMera shares. Melinda asks Stefan if this means she’s out of a job. Stefan says he’s afraid so, but he owes her and her performance was oscar worthy. Stefan tells Melinda that he now needs to hash this out with his brother. Melinda decides to go shower and leave him to it. Stefan questions EJ spying on he and Gabi, commenting that there is no bar too low for EJ. EJ argues that Stefan and Gabi were sneaking around like horny teenagers but somehow he’s the one who sunk too low. EJ declares that he’s protecting the family business from a viper. Stefan warns him not to talk about Gabi like that. EJ states that Stefan may not see who Gabi really is, but he does clearly and won’t apologize for that. EJ calls Stefan a traitor to Stefano and everything he created.

Eric tells Sloan that he didn’t want to suspect her but admits it crossed his mind. Sloan brings up that she swore to him that she wasn’t the one trashing Paulina’s office or sending threatening notes. Eric mentions that he doesn’t know anyone else who has a personal agenda against them. Eric then points out that he noticed a stack of magazines with scissors on top. Sloan questions Eric checking up on her and asks if he went through the magazines. Sloan asks if he felt any remorse when he saw the magazines were in tact or if he just assumed she got rid of the evidence. Eric argues that he didn’t assume anything and then Abe showed up to confront her. Sloan thought Eric defended her but guesses she was silly to think he would have her back. Eric insists that he does have her back. Eric points out that when he told Sloan about Abe, she sent someone a text and that is when Paulina got a threatening text. Sloan mocks the idea that she’s guilty. Eric points out that he wouldn’t be here if he thought she was guilty. Sloan doesn’t give a damn what he thinks and doesn’t want to sleep with someone who thinks she’s out committing felonies in her free time. Sloan tells Eric to get out and threatens to throw all of his crap out the window. Eric tries to plead with her but she orders him to get out right now and opens the door. Sloan remarks that Eric did her a favor by not trusting her because now she has so much more time to obsess over Chanel and Paulina than wasting it on him. Eric then exits the apartment.

Chanel asks Johnny if it’s over with Wendy. Johnny doesn’t want to talk about it and asks if Sloan is terrorizing her and Paulina. Chanel says yes and that Sloan denies she was behind the threats but assures they are going to prove it was her. Chanel switches the topic back to him and asks what’s going on with he and Wendy as she thought things were picking up. Johnny repeats that he doesn’t want to talk about it but Chanel argues that she’s his friend, a good listener, and maybe she could cheer him up so he gives in. Johnny informs Chanel that Tripp found out that Wendy said they were never exclusive, so he went right to work. Chanel feels that doesn’t mean it’s over between them. Johnny points out that Wendy and Tripp are already really close. Chanel points out that Johnny and Wendy are too. Johnny doesn’t think he has a chance since Tripp has way more to offer, so he can’t compete.

Wendy encourages Li that there’s nothing wrong with him and says that unrequited love is obviously painful. Wendy understands Li has never been this much in love with anyone before which he confirms. Wendy hates to tell him to give up hope, but she hates to see him hurting like this. Wendy reminds Li that he only has four months to go on his deal with Gabi and she’s already sleeping with her ex. Wendy tells Li to open his eyes as this is not the time for wishful thinking. Wendy states that Gabi is cheating on him and lying to him, so she’s not warming to him. Wendy decides that Li needs to think, so she should get out of his way. Wendy then exits the apartment. Li looks back at the photo of Gabi and Stefan in bed on his phone.

Stefan questions EJ saying he’s the traitor of the family. Stefan calls EJ the miserable son of a bitch who offered him a truce and then immediately started working behind his back to sabotage him. Stefan brings up EJ thinking he had him dead to rights when he set he and Gabi up in the hotel room, but he worked quickly to come up with a plausible ruse. EJ laughs at that and says it was idiotic. Stefan says it wasn’t meant to fool him, but to make him open his mouth and admit what he was doing but he didn’t have the guts. EJ points out that Stefan didn’t have the willpower not to have his plan blow up in smoke. EJ says that now Stefan and Gabi can be together, but what’s important to him is that Gabi can no longer get her hands on the DiMera shares because Stefan blew it. EJ hopes one quickie in the basement was worth it. EJ then walks out of the room and heads upstairs then Nicole follows out.

Li paces around the apartment then pulls out his phone and sends a text.

Stefan pulls out his phone and makes a call.

Talia comments on Gabi receiving a text and a call at the same time. Gabi says she wants to continue their conversation but she has to take this. Talia understands and walks away while Gabi answers the call from Stefan. Gabi asks why Stefan is calling her on this phone when Li could look at the history. Stefan tells her it doesn’t matter and reveals the cat’s out of the bag because EJ saw them in the secret room and sent a picture to Li. Gabi realizes that’s why Li was so cold this morning and worries about the shares. Stefan tells her that he’s sorry and it’s all his fault. Gabi says they decided it because it’s what they wanted. Stefan encourages that they will figure it out and points out they at least don’t have to pretend anymore. Stefan asks what Gabi wants to do now. Gabi instructs Stefan to pack his things while she goes to have it out with Li and then Stefan can move right in. Gabi reminds Stefan to give Melinda her walking papers. Stefan gets a sudden headache and guesses he just got excited and had a blood rush. Stefan says he’s good now and asks if she’s sure she doesn’t want him there when she talks to Li. Gabi assures that she has to do this herself. Gabi tells Stefan that she loves him. Stefan says he loves her too and they hang up. Stefan exits the living room, leaving behind the bakery box while Gabi walks on finishing her drugged breakfast biscuit.

Chanel questions Johnny saying he can’t compete, what Tripp that he doesn’t, and what he’s so worried about. Johnny shouts that Tripp’s a doctor while he’s just some failed movie maker. Johnny adds that Tripp is built, handsome, and marks the sympathy box since his mom is in an institution. Chanel is tired of Johnny putting himself down and encourages that he has just as much to offer as Tripp does. Chanel likes Tripp a lot and thinks he’s a great guy but says so is Johnny. Chanel calls him all that and so much more, asking if she would have married him otherwise.

Sloan trashes the breakfast that Eric had brought from the bakery.

Johnny thanks Chanel for the pep talk but says it didn’t really work. Chanel argues that this isn’t like him. Johnny doesn’t know where his usual self confidence has disappeared to but thanks her for reminding him how they used to be when they got married in Italy. Johnny knows their relationship didn’t end pretty but talks about how it began. Chanel acknowledges that she was so swept off her feet. Johnny tells Chanel that she’s beautiful while Chanel recalls their wedding. Chanel encourages Johnny to get his confidence together. Johnny gets a headache but blames it on his lack of sleep while Chanel starts to feel hot. Johnny recalls when they stayed up all night in Italy. Chanel says she remembers everything. Johnny talks about the red dress she had on. Talia comes back over and tells Chanel that she’s starting another batch of the biscuits. Chanel mentions that Johnny loved his. Johnny starts to get dizzy and envisions Chanel wearing the red dress from their wedding. Johnny then suddenly gets down on one knee and proposes to Chanel. Wendy then walks by and is shocked to see them.

Gabi goes home to the apartment and tells Li that she got his text. Li says there is something he needs to say. Gabi responds that she thinks she knows. Gabi turns to look at Li but imagines him as Stefan.

Melinda gets out of the shower as Stefan enters his room and imagines her as Gabi. Stefan sees Melinda as Gabi and asks how she got here so fast. Stefan then says who cares as she’s here now and hugs Melinda while thinking she is Gabi.

EJ and Nicole walk past the Brady Pub. EJ wonders why Li hasn’t acted on the photo and says he knows he got it since he saw the notification. Nicole says it doesn’t matter since EJ won and Gabi lost. Nicole then gets a call from work and says she has to take it. EJ says he has to get to the office anyway so they will talk later. They kiss goodbye and EJ walks away. Nicole answers the call and says those files should be in. Nicole then imagines Eric approaching her while dressed as a priest.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Sloane Sloane.

Hello Eric. What the hell’s going on Jada? What are you doing here?

Hey ish, Talia. Hey. Hey. I was just looking for my sister. Is she around? She’s actually out on a call. You wanna leave a message for her? No, it’s okay. Um, but since I’m here I was just wondering, uh, you and Jada enjoy your dinner last night. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Dinner.

So how was the bakery busy? We almost completely sold out, but I managed to save some ginger scones for eight. I told you to stop doing that. Gonna give that man diabetes. You can just toss that box in the trash. And that would include the bear claw I put in there for you. Gimme that. Okay. So Abe who hits the gym at least four times a week, he’s on a restricted diet.

But you, I don’t go there now. You know Big mama blessed us with her amazing jeans. I’m as healthy as a horse. Mm. And that’s why I had to make an appointment for you with the cardiologist. Well, I was given a clean bill of health even after you had a panic. Oh, oh, you know, that reminds me when I left for that appointment, you, you told me that you were going to handle Sloan Peterson.

So, uh, I’m assuming this is your doing.

Oh, open up Stark. I know you’re in there.

Girl. What is your problem? This, oh, bad manicure. I’m talking about your stupid little gossip column here is Salem’s top legal Eagle. A total psycho. So you read that immediately. Came over here and freaked out there by proving the story is true. This isn’t funny. If you don’t fix this, I will destroy it.

Well, seems the rumors are true. What rumors, according to Leo you two are Salem’s hottest new couple. Looks like he was right. Why are you talking about, oh, come on. Don’t try to deny it. I walked in here. I heard you giving a toast about letting go of the past and moving on with your lives. It’s very clear to me that you are moving on with each other.

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

You don’t understand what’s not to understand. You lied to me. You told me you couldn’t be with me because you were still so very much in love with Sarah, but now I. You were causing it to her. Craig Wesley stuck up. Daughter. It’s good to see you too, Gwen. Yeah. And you treated Leo like dirt because that’s how you treat dirt, like dirt.

And that was nothing compared to the way you treated me. You know what? As far as I’m concerned, you two deserve each other.

I am here on official police business. Did anything happen to Sloan? No. I mean, not that I know of. I came here to question her and she wasn’t home, so I decided to take a look around. So you broke in. No the super very nicely. Let me in once I showed him my warrant. Would you like to see it? Look Judy, if this is about that later.

No, there’s actually been a new development in the case last night. Paulina Price for received a very threatening text message and I think your girlfriend might know something about it.

You and Jada had dinner together. We talked about this. Ray, Abe. Abe. It was a very platonic dinner. Okay? I went to the pub. I went there to pick up takeout, and then I ran into Detective Hunter and her sister, and then, well, we decided that we would sit at a table together. Now, is that against apartment regulation?

Should I have sat at a table across the room, or should I have fled the place entirely to maintain the department’s sparkling reputation? Talia, I don’t know if you have met the mayor. This is Detective Hunter’s, sister Talia, and she was also there the other night. Hello, today, Dave Garden. Hi, nice to meet you.

Oh, Talia Hunter, you work with Chanel, right? Mm-hmm. And you helped my wife when she had that panic attack? I did, and I’m hoping she’s feeling a lot less stress. Well, not so much. This situation with Song Peterson is Ah, it’s getting to her.

Oh, I hope that article didn’t hurt Sloan’s feelings. She’s such a delicate little Sherman tanked. So this is your, You went trotting off the lady, what’s his face? And toll all, uh, Leo doesn’t reveal his sources well, even with Leo’s socks reference for journalistic ethics, she is gonna know who gave this to him.

Good. It’s about time. She knows that if she hits us, we hit back and this is gonna hit her where it hurts. As far as I can see, the only thing she cares about other than making us miserable is her law practice. Hmm. And. I just wonder how many people are looking for a psycho lawyer. Well, I hope you are right that this backs her off and that that text last night will be the end of it.

What text? Gosh. Take up chill pill. She Hulk. What exactly are you asking me to do? You need to run an immediate retraction. Just admit you made the whole. I didn’t, I got my intel from a very reliable source. Do you mean polling a price? Uh, as a respected journalist, I’m not at liberty to reveal my sources.

You’re not a journalist. You’re an insignificant little worm. I was about to have his ass sued, liable. Ah. It’s not liable if it’s true, isn’t true. I have not been harassing Paul Price. No. You sure as hell had motive? You keep insisting that Chanel Dure killed your mother. That would’ve been a matter of public record had her mother not paid to have the whole thing covered up.

Giving you even more motive. But it’s a sad story and I’m sure the public would be on your side if you just, you know, confessed in detail in my column. We can get the whole town to hate that, not just you tell Lady Whistleblower everything.

Well, if you don’t have the phone, then you have no proof that Sloan sent that text. Well, that’s kind of why I’m here to find proof. Yeah. Well, I’m pretty sure that Sloan took her phone with her. Well, maybe she’s a different phone, so I figured it couldn’t hurt to poke around a bit. Couldn’t hurt you. You don’t have to clean it up.

Did you find anything? Nothing yet. But I did notice that you have your own drawer now. Things are getting pretty serious. I really don’t need a lecture of why I shouldn’t be dating Sloan. No lecture. Just an observation. Okay. Okay. Maybe, maybe a little judgment, but I know it’s none of my business. And honestly, I just want you to be happy no matter who you’re with.

I want you to be happy too. What about you? Everybody new in your life?

Is Paulina okay? She got a clean zone of health. All the harassment and. Just doesn’t let up. Well, I swear to God, I am gonna give it to the bottom of this. I know, I, I, I know that. Have you heard from Detective Hunter? Is she able to question Sloan Peterson about the texts? Well, she has not checked in yet, but as soon as I do hear from her, I will let you know.

I’ll give you a call. Thank you. Thank you. And, uh, I’m sorry about before you do know that I trust you implicit. Yes. Yes. Right. It’s nice to meet you. To meet you. Same to you, Mr. Mayor. Yes, Abe. Abe. Talk to you later. Yep.

Sorry, I got you in trouble. Nah, it’s okay. But’s, uh, do me a favor, right? Yeah. Anything. Just tell me what it is. Yeah. Uh, stop trying to push me and Jada together. Okay. Wow. Was I that obvious? Well, only to a trained detective. Oh, you’re nasty. Hmm. No wonder why Jada likes you so much. You heard ape. I am Jada’s boss.

There are rules against this. All right. Nothing can happen. Well, you know that’s just a shame cuz you two would make a great couple. I mean, you’re funny. Both great looking available Talia, nothing can happen. All right, fine. I guess. But just tell me. If it wasn’t for that stupid policy, you’d be making a move, wouldn’t you?

Hmm? Your husband can’t save you. I can’t believe Sloan sent this text. Well, technically it was anonymous, but we both know it was her. Well, well, did you report it to the cops? Abe’s taking care of it. Oh, that woman is so twisted. No, tell me. Uh, when I ran into her last night, she practically gloated when I.

When you what? I wasn’t gonna say anything, but I had another panic attack. No, no, no, no. It was no big deal. No, no, no. Uhuh. I remember what tall you said to do and was able to calm down. Okay, good. I’m glad. But wait, there’s more, isn’t there?

But when I started losing it, Sloan mocked me. Walked the way before she knew I was okay. Oh that bitch. I swear to God. If something had happened to you, don’t. Don’t even think about it. I’m fine. I’m fine. And that’s what Sloane Peterson, she will get hers eventually, one way or another. There’s nothing to confess.

I’m innocent. Fine. Stick with your old. But you should read the comments section of my column. Everyone thinks you’re guilty. I know. That’s why I want a retraction. It’s too late. The public has already made up its mind. The only way to turn things around is to share your sob story and get people to feel sorry for you.

And why would I do that? You’ll just twist my words. You’re a lawyer. You’ll choose your words carefully. Just not too carefully. We do need some juicy details, so question number.

Which magazines did you use to cut out those letters? Vogue, vanity Fair. Why does it matter? I don’t know. It’s the first question that came to my mind. Gosh, you’re such a total hack. Listen, work with me here now. You listen here, you little twerp. I expect an immediate retraction by tomorrow. Otherwise, I’ll sue those hideous pants off of your little scrawny ass.

They’re not hideous. They’re cut.

Not that it’s any of your business, Gwen, but Chloe and I were just having a drink together. There’s nothing romantic going on. Oh yeah. Okay. What about last night then when I walked in here and you were in each other’s arms? Oh, for goodness sake, I was upset about Brady, and Xander was comforting. What about the photo that Leo took of you?

To what photo? This picture right here,

a sneaky little pip squeak. If Leo thinks he’s using this picture in his column, don’t worry. I killed it. It’s like how you killed the story about this one being a child hater. And when he killed that so-called story, I was happy and I hugged him. Oh, is that how the two of you shacked up? Then you traded Sex for Fathers.

There’s nothing going on between Oz Gwen. Why do you care anyway? You’re sleeping with Alex. I don’t care. I just don’t like being lied to. I mean, if you, if you didn’t wanna be with me, you could have just told me so. So making up some rubbish excuse about how you still hung up on your ex, Sarah, you know what?

You were a coward then and you are a coward now. Just have the bloody guts to admit that the two of you are a couple. Fine, you’re right. I fallen madly in love with Chloe Lane. I don’t care who knows anymore.

I am not seeing anyone. Right. I am focused on work. Yeah. Well, I hope you don’t neglect your personal life for too long. You deserve to be to some degree. Thanks. Anyway, I better get going. I left Sloane a voicemail, but if you can please remind her to stop by the PD first chance she gets and she should bring her phone or phones.

Okay. Okay, I got it. I’ll tell her also. I hope Sloane is aware that we have ways to access any deleted messages. Jenna, I really don’t think Sloan has anything to do with this. Well, if that’s true, it would still be in her best interest if she cooperated. Owen, sorry about the mess. Right.

I really should get back to work. You’re avoiding the question. Hey, you catch on eventually. I’ll let Jayden know you stopped by. You know what? Fine. You don’t even need to answer the question. I can see that both you and Jada are attracted to one another. We just need to figure out a way around those stupid regulations.

All right, Talia, lemme tell you something. There are a lot of people in this town that I know very well and that I trust, and I have not discussed this situation with them. So don’t be offended that I don’t wanna discuss it with you. Direct, forceful man. You are right up Jesus Alley. Uh.

Wow. God bless Chanel. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. These are for later. Chanel went to the bistro to pick up something for dinner. Oh, well that’s nice her. Mm-hmm. It is. But I also think she wanted to get out and get some air. Yeah. Yeah. She was pretty upset when I told her about Sloan Peterson Walking away from you while I was having my panic attack.

Yeah. And that nasty text message I told RA about that he got a. He sent Jada Hunter over to search her apartment and as soon as she reports back to him, he’ll give me an update. Oh, good. I hope they nail it to the wall. Me too. But in the meantime, I think we should leave Salem.

Hey, do. Tell your mother to stop spreading those lies about me, especially to the reporters. Oh, she didn’t do that? I did. And they weren’t lies. Oh. Like hell, they weren’t. And if you are the one who went and spoke to Leo Stark, then you’re gonna be the one to go back and set that record straight. Oh, the record’s already straight.

You trashed my mom’s office. You sent that threatening note. And then last night after walking away from my mother when she could have been dying, you sent that text, excuse me, I’m sorry. What text that your husband. Save you. Okay. I didn’t send that text. Oh no. Then who did? I don’t know. Maybe one of the hundred thousand other people who hate that old obnoxious bitch.

Oh, I know you did not just call my mama an old bitch. You just forgot. Obnoxious.

I will kill you.

You want to move out of. I didn’t say that. I, I, I just think it’s, uh, it was time for an extended vacation and we never did have a honeymoon. This isn’t about a honeymoon. This is about getting away from Sloan Peterson, right? Yes. Yes. I, I, I, yes it is. Look, look, the police are on the case, and once she’s behind Barbara, we can come back.

So we’d be running. Don’t think of it like that. Oh, what other way is there to think about it? Think that you are under a lot of stress and Paris is beautiful this time of year. Well, as much as I would like to go to Paris with you, I can’t leave Chanel here all alone, but she can come with us. She won’t, she won’t leave her bakery for that long, which means I have to stay here and protect her from Sloane, especially after she got Leo’s start to run that column in the Spectator.

Ah, yeah. I’m not sure about that. Eh, well, with what we know about Sloan Peterson, I am not sure. It’s a good idea.

Willie are psycho me. You’re the one who killed my mother.

Oh, she started it. Oh wow. We, I’m not afraid to finish it. No, this ends now leave. Before I call the. I already had to file a restraining order against your mother. I guess I had to file one against you too. Are you all right? Yeah. God, I hate her. Yeah, I would’ve never guessed. Come outta your bleeding. She’s just a scratch.

Yeah, that can get infected. Come on, let’s go to the bakery. They have a first aid kit there.

Yeah. Oh, hey, how’d it go with Peterson? Uh, she wasn’t home, so I looked around the apartment, find anything. Uh, she has crap taste in music, and she has more handcuffs than the department has, but no burner phone and no cutout magazines. All right. You left our message both on her cell and with Eric. Oh, he was there.

How’d that go? Strained. You know how it always is when you’re talking to an ex? Yeah. Tell me about it. But in a way it was good. You know, I, as I’m living there with that woman, a dominatrix who listens to cold clay, and I thought to myself, dude, I am over you.

You are a pig.

That one is not. Yeah, well she’s right around one thing. You are a pig.

You’re not gonna believe what I’ve been through. Yeah. Well, I’m not gonna believe this either. I went into the pub. You were right of Alexandra and Chloe there. They were her showing off her cleavage to her best advantage while he’s undressing her, his eyes. So you quietly backed away to weep in private.

No, I did. I walked over there and I told him off how out of Charact. First he said there was nothing going on, and then. She kissed her right in front of me. Yes. What gwenny don’t you see? This means we’re winning.

Ow. God, what was that for? You assaulted me. How was it? No, I just gave you a kiss. In public for someone else’s benefit. You know, I don’t like being dragged into your deeply icky relationship with that limey psycho, but I especially don’t like being used as a prop in your gotcha moment for your ex upon reflection.

You have a point. Reflection, you don’t even know what the word means. Did you stop for one second to think about what you just did upon reflection? She’s gonna run straight to Leo and tell him what happened, and then he’s gonna write some truly disgusting column about it, and then Brady will read it.

Give, I thought even moving on, I never said that, but even if I did, it doesn’t give you a right to maul me in public to prove your pros. I’m sorry, Chloe. I, you’re right. I, I didn’t think on, even when I do think I usually. Mess things up. Bye. I’m sorry. Really, I, because I don’t know, this is a long shot, but I really would like it if we could be friends.

I’ll get started on that report. There is one more thing your sister stopped by. Why o c you? But she did manage to speak about our dinner together last night in front of the mayor. I’ll kill her. Well, I’d have to report that. Okay, fine. I won’t kill her, but I’ll tell her to back off. Yeah. Well I already did that.

Did not seem to phase her this. Um, she, uh, she started talking about our dinner together and then segued into, uh, an aria about how unfair the new policy regulations are and then concluded with, uh, how clearly we are attracted to each other. I am mortified. I am so, so sorry. No more. It’s okay. I. Wanted you to know she clearly hasn’t given up her campaign.

I will handle her the commissioner. I want you to know that I have never, ever encouraged that. I never said that. I, I mean, I know there can be nothing between us. I know you have no interest in me, you know, in that way. Right. I think the problem is, um, I actually am,

Hey, I didn’t expect you to, What the hell is all of this? Jada? She executed a search warrant. What? Yeah. Well, someone sent, Pauline had threatening text message last night. Yeah, no, I know. Apparently I’ve already been tried and found guilty. You know. Jen left you a message. I want you to come down the station.

I’m really getting sick of all of this. Well, they said you should probably bring your phone. I want to take a look at it. You better do what they say. Of course, I, I have nothing to hide. I here if I don’t, why don’t you see for yourself?

Apparently it’s a good idea to hire a baker who’s also a doctor. Yeah. Especially if you love street brawls. It literally looked like you two were gonna kill each other. Hold on. This is might sting a little bit.

Sorry.

You know, I’m really glad you showed up when you did. It looked like the white chick was getting the worst of it. No, I, I mean, not just now, but in general. You know, when Allie and I broke up, I didn’t just lose my girlfriend, but I also lost my business partner, and I’ve just been feeling so overwhelmed.

And then you showed up and I feel like I’m finally starting to see a path forward, so thank you.

I don’t get it. How exactly am I. Your sexual exploits with Alex have made Xander mad with jealousy, so now he’s trying to make you jealous by stripping. Chloe Le doesn’t feel like wanting to me. Don’t you see? He’s using her so that you’ll come back to him maybe. Or maybe your plan backfired and now he has real feelings for her.

Huh? I hadn’t thought of that.

Chloe, I really am sorry. Could you please, please just gimme another chance. Well, as someone who just told a little kid that I hated her, I know what it’s like to be provoked into doing something you regret really. And for what it’s worth, I’ve actually. Really enjoyed hanging out with you. Never thought I’d be leaning on you for emotional support, but here we are.

So we’re good. We’re good as long as you keep your dirty paw away from me. Okay.

Did what you just said mean what I think it.

You know, I think that maybe I should clarify this further. So, um, if I wasn’t your boss, then I would ask you out all for further clarification. I’d say yes. Okay. Well, right. I just, um, I just thought if we were aware of the situation, then we could be more in control of the situation. Yeah, I agree. Right, and And to be clear, yeah, I don’t think the problem is that you’re my boss because you are a very good professional boss.

I think the problem are those departmental regulations. But they’re real. And, uh, what are the consequences? Meaning nothing can happen. That’s right.

Well, um, now that, that’s settled and out the way, I should keep going. Good night. Quiet. Yeah, boss. Okay. Yeah. Good night, detective. I’m.

I don’t need to see your phone. I believe you, Ali. Someone does. But I do have one question for you. What. I have baby’s breath in your hair. Let me get it. It’s been a long day. I know. I’m going up to shower. I’m done. Can we make dinner please? Yeah, sure. Or we can order in, but I’m just not in the mode to go out.

I have up to here with the good people of Salem.

Well, um, you. I wasn’t just trying to get you away from Sloan Peterson. No, no. Uh, look, I, I, I, I, it’s not that I don’t like having Chanel here. I love her. But I would like to spend a little alone time with you.

Oh, well, once that cycle is behind bars, we are Paris bound. Promise.

Oh, well, table’s all set. Oh, we’re missing as the food, I’m wonder was taking Chanel so long? Uh, let me text her and see. Mm-hmm. Where.

Oh, I should get going. Mama wants her dinner. Well, you all bandaged up. You’re good to go. You know, we always order way too much. Why don’t you join us for. Sure. I mean, I don’t wanna intrude or anything. Are you kidding me? Mama loves you. She’ll be happy to see you again. All right, well, okay. Sounds nice.

Thank you. No, thank you for all the free medical assistant, a girl ain free. You just haven’t gotten a bill yet.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Alex, Hey. I know you’re busy, but your assistant said you were working from home. No, it’s, it’s okay. It’s all right. Come on in. Thank you. I just need to vent for a minute about my infuriating relative, and I figured you might underst. Assuming you were talking about Zander. I’m audios.

Okay, here it goes. Watch this. Wait, wait. Why are you closing your eyes? To help me concentrate. Huh? Eh, eh, interesting stretch. I can’t go any worse than before. Are you sure? I didn’t draw? I’m quite sure it’s just, you know, if your eyes were open, you would see that I’m now standing as a very surface. Okay.

Okay. Wise decision. So when I sing, I always hear the pitch in my head before I produce a sound. So with this, I’m going to imagine where the dart needs to go before I throw it. Wait, you’re gonna throw it? That looking. No, no, no. I’m gonna open my eyes just as I am.

Oh my God. I did it. I hit the middle. Known in some circles as the bullseye. Yeah, the bullseye. Aren’t you impressed? Of course. I’m impressed. That was amazing. A total lie. Hi. Hey man.

Stephanie, can you still hear your mother’s voice on that call?

Okay. We’re gonna end this for today. Um, I’m gonna count you out of it. I’ll count to three. You’ll open your eyes and be wide awake. Can you’ll feel relaxed, refreshed. 1, 2, 3.

Good. How do you feel? I’m fine. Did it. Sorry, Stephanie. I think I, I think I messed it up. What do you mean? You were under, uh, recalling the conversation you had with your mom and you said you heard her, uh, say a name? I jumped in. I asked who it was. I think I threw you off. I did hear her say a name. Was it Thomas Bank?

No, I’m pretty sure it was. Victor. Victor, Kiki. Yeah, definitely. That’s what my mom said. And whatever I’m recalling through hypnosis should be accurate, right? Yes, it is. What do you think it means? What could Victor possibly have to do with your mom’s kidnapping?

You okay? Are you, are you okay? Are you okay? You okay? Sweet. Yeah.

Is it really,

this is really you. Yeah.

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

Well, I’m sorry to disappoint as much as I have grown to detest my cousin Xander. I’m not here for him. I’m here for my aunt Maggie, a k a, the boss from hell. Oh, dear. What did she do now? You, you remember when I told you I needed to find a way to get on her good side? This unbelievable opportunity just lands directly in my lap.

Have you heard of the Cova Prisms? Uh, this, is that the thing that like is meant to kill cancer or something? Yes. Among other things. Now, the Demaris, the isa, a whole bunch of other people have been trying to get their hands on these damn things for like three decades. I get word from the Athens police that they just confiscated in from Dr.

Wolfe. Wow. Dr. Ro Shaw gets around, doesn’t he? He does get around. Anyway. I pull all the right strings with Uncle Vick’s contacts. I grease all the right palms. The prisms would’ve been Titans. It would’ve been the biggest deal of the century. Fuck. But Saint Maggie doesn’t understand that the best deals aren’t made in the boardroom.

She also doesn’t understand that I was about to make her look like the most brilliant c e o in history. So instead she makes me go crawling back to this guy to un bribe him for some like. Victory for the greater good, like vintage Maggie, right? Mm-hmm. Totally. But it’s not in reality, this is a category five catastrophe.

Why a catastrophe? Because we lost Gwen. Now a hundred percent of these prisms are gonna end up in the wrong hands, and who knows what the hell they’re gonna be used for?

Tell me I’m not dreamy. No, no. This is real.

Who, my sweetness. I have missed you so much. I thought I was gonna have to miss you forever. I have to live without you. What is this miracle? You’re here. God. Daddy, are you hurt? Oh, baby. After everything you’ve been through, you worried about me? Yes, I am worried about you. Do you, do you have, do you have double vision?

Are are you dizzy? No. No. I got maybe a, just a little headache from where both pistol whipped me. Uh, I don’t suppose I dreamed that, did I? I’d like to tell you. You did, but I, I don’t think so. I can’t believe it. And I saw him at that police station. My best friend, my brother-in-law, he’d been dead for years, and Barry was, he was standing there alive,

and then he treated me like I was his sworn enemy. Listen to me, Megan brainwashed him. He is not Bo. Not really Bo. He’s just some sort of. I don’t know. Heartless, uh, imposter. He said that he took you off Megan’s Island. Was he working with Thomas Banks? Thomas Banks? Uh, I don’t, I, I don’t know anything about that.

Why? Well, Megan said banks was the one who took you. Bank is a liar. Bo went rogue, like I told you, and she knew it. She probably just didn’t wanna give hope, the satisfaction of knowing that Beau was alive. Do you know why Beau brought you here? Oh yeah. Oh, he’s made it very clear. He wants me to use the Prisms to create the miracle serum that Ralph and Megan have been working on.

You know, even if I had any idea how to do. I, I don’t, we are never getting out of here. Hey, um, listen baby, so many people are looking for you and they know I’m here now. It’s only a matter of time until we’re found. Okay?

All right. Let me think this. We know my mom was in Greece when she called, and Victor’s from Greece. So do you think he was somehow involved in her disappearance? I don’t know what to think. I say we go straight to the source side. You mean go to Victor directly? Why not? Yeah, why not? And and if Victor stonewalls us, then we’ll get Maggie involved.

She’s kind and compassionate. She’ll definitely wanna help. She will. She will be on our side. You know, I will never understand why Victor decided to make Maggie the CEO of Titan. I mean, she doesn’t seem very bright for one thing, right? And does she even have experience? I dunno. She’s just run a restaurant and bosses all her servants about, yeah, that’s about it.

Well, that’s why she can’t afford to lose you, Alex. She, she needs your energy, she needs your business sense. You are a tremendous asset to their company. Well, thank you. Unfortunately, aunt Maggie thinks I’m a tremendous liability, which is why she’s dying to replace me, probably will any minute with whom and who would want to take what seems to be a thankless job at this point anyway.

Oh, here’s a hint. Starts with an X. No. Really? Yes. Really? Gwen Xander is miserable being your business partner, especially after the two of you broke up. So he is happy to abandon the spectator and make his mark on Titan. And what better way to punish me for taking his place in your bed than taking my place in the boardroom?

What’s going on here? Plain dart flowy head starts. Not anymore. You just got a, a bullseye, didn’t you darling? She’s actually quite pleased with herself, aren’t you? Uh, um, Sandra and I were eating alone at separate tables. We just ran into each other. So where’s the fun in that? So, yeah. Um, how’s Rachel doing?

She’s okay. She’s okay. She’s happy to have her grandma Marlena back, that’s for sure. I bet. I, I can’t even imagine Brady. I’m so sorry for what I said to her yesterday. I’m, I’m more than sorry. I am ashamed. Okay. That’s not an excuse the way that Rachel was treating me, I just was so hurt and I’d lost it, obviously.

Hey, Chloe, not with the Meia. Col, please. I told you, I’m sure Brady understands. Aaron, please stay out of this. If you don’t understand, it would be very unkind of you, Brady, since your daughter has been horrible to Chloe. Shut up. I mean, that child has provoked this kind caring woman over and over again until year finally.

Understandably she can take it anymore. Lost her temper and gave the kid a taste her own nasty medicine. Hey, Susanna, don’t, don’t, don’t talk about my kid. You have no right to talk about my kid. She has been through chaos. She’s had it really hard lately and her mother is now in. As a parent, you try to give her some, some tenderness and some understanding and some tolerance.

That’s what I’m trying to do, by the way. How is this any of your business? Who told you all about this? Oh, stupid question. You, you told him about all of this? I, I am sorry. I was upset. I needed someone to talk to. Everybody on Salem like, you’re gonna confide in this bastard here. Hey, yes, she confided in me cuz I happen to be compassionate and understanding.

I, for one, I’m glad that you finally stood up to his spiteful daughter.

You are shallow and you are insensitive. All right. And you don’t know what the hell it’s like to be a parent, so don’t talk like you do. You don’t even know how to be a decent human being. Ander, you know, I gave cousin Alex A. Black eye the other day. Maybe you’d like one to.

Oh sweet. When the kids see you, I can’t tell you how crushed they were losing you and poor Stephanie. She didn’t make it. To the hospital in time before you supposedly died. It wasn’t her fault, but she was so tortured by that sweet girl. I get wait to see Joey. Trent. Stephanie, you know this really, really needs a couple stitches.

No, no, no, no, no. It’s okay. It’ll heal just fine. You know, it’s bad enough that Bo kidnap me, but to hurt you this way, okay, we’re gonna be fine. And so is Bo. God, I hope so. I mean, I think that maybe he somehow broke away from Megan’s mind control. Look at everything. He’s been through his illness 10 years and kind of like limbo.

And who knows what Ralph and Megan did to him. And I just, I feel like he’s in war with himself, a certain pain. I don’t know, it’s just a lot of psycho fled, but it’s just that he kept talking to the body, wanted a, a fresh start, and he, he was just trying to figure out who he really is. What about being Bo Brady?

Oh, it doesn’t appeal to him anymore. Uh, not in the least. I kept trying to talk to him about it, you know, about our past, about about being Brady’s, and he just didn’t wanna hear it. He just dismissed it. I mean, what good is it to be a lowly Brady when you wanna build an empire? Oh, an empire. Wow. Lofty after the ambitions.

Ah, yeah. Love and ruthless. They just, He wanted wealth and power, and I think it’s all about being Victor Kiki’s son, or maybe even his clone.

Hey, you at Titan, Alex, that is your, it’s your birthright. Now listen to me. Don’t you dad bloody roll over and let Zander take your job. I mean, why? Why would Maggie want him to anyway, after the way he screwed her daughter over? It’s a damn good question. But Maggie has a soft spot for this guy. Seems like she just forgives him no matter what the hell he does.

For the life of me, I have no idea how she could give this obnoxious, amoral, neanderthal jerk the benefit of the doubt at every turn. Meanwhile, it gets pissed off at me if I so much sit in the damn c e o chair. I’m sorry. No four insulting ender. Go ahead. Insult away. I, I don’t care. Okay. What you no longer have a soft spot for the guy?

No. Why should I ever since he took a step back from the paper, he’s been avoiding me at every turn. You know you didn’t even bother to turn up at the office today for work. Why did he at least have an excuse? No, didn’t tell me. Didn’t call me. Didn’t even bother to give me a bloody. There’s no mystery where he’s spending his time now.

In fact, I’m sure that he’s closing up with Chloe Lane as we speak. Stop it right now. So I’m shallow and insensitive. Am I? As opposed to you an arrogant as who thinks he’s got his gift to the world? Who fathered a child with a sadistic psychopath? Once you go there, you son a bitch. Okay. That’s enough.

Okay. Enough. It, it, it is. It’s, it’s enough. You’re right. Okay. Brady, you can leave. No, Chloe, I’m not gonna leave until I talk to. Do you want to talk to him? Callander? She can speak for herself. Can we please talk? Yeah. Sureand, do you mind? Would you give Brady me a few minutes? Sure. I’ll get us another round.

I want to fix this. You do? Why are you surprised by? Because I was. Oh is so terrible to your daughter yesterday, and I feel horrible about it. But you know, being a parent, I would understand why that could be a deal breaker. It doesn’t have to be a deal breaker. My daughter just needs to understand that you didn’t mean what you said.

She thinks that you hate her, so she feels justified in her hostility towards you right now. Of course she does, and that’s why I’m so down on myself for that stupid des. Blur. Oh my God, how could I hate her? She’s just a child who’s been through way too much lately. I mean, my heart breaks for her. Having a mother like Kristen, thank God she has you and I.

I truly love Rachel and I wish that she wouldn’t see me as the enemy, that I’m the person who essentially. Came between her and her mother. The two, the two of you have not always been this way. You, you used to have a really great relationship. Remember? I know we did. I would do anything to have that again, and I can’t take back what I said,

and now she just thinks of me as being the evil step monster. How am I gonna change that, Chloe? I can talk to her. I’ll talk to her and talk to her and talk. Okay. Well, should I, do you think that maybe if I wrote her an apology, she would. I’m asleep. Probably not. I mean, I, I seem to be the only one that can talk to her and get through to her right now.

Right. Well, I’m not sure that talking to her is gonna be enough for her to view me in a better light. I mean, it’s gonna take a freaking miracle.

What are you saying? I mean, because of this issue with my daughter, you just want to, you want to give up. I, I know you are ready for a rematch.

Yeah. Yeah.

Zander and Chloe Lane, what are you talking about?

Leo saw them with their heads together the other day, and of course he was champing at the bit to let Lady Whistleblower let all of Salem know. I put a kibosh on that because I, I felt that, I was sure that he was making something out of nothing but.

Now I can’t help wondering.

Oh, look at that. Look, this is the picture that he snapped. Yeah, so. What do you think? I mean, does that look like a platonic hug to you,

baby?

Maybe I should have f let Leah run the story then, especially because he replaced it with something that the litigious Sloan Peterson would’ve gone absolutely mental over.

Meanwhile, I’m, I’m thinking maybe Leo was right about them. Why? Well, because after I told Leo that he was speaking absolute rubbish, I, I walked in, I saw it for myself. I saw the two of them in each other’s arms.

Your turn. And you are on a roll, my dear. You know if you keep doing that eyes closed thing, I’m betting that you’re gonna hit bullseye after Bullseye. Yes you go. I don’t wanna play anymore. Alright. Was hoping you were enjoying the distraction. Well, I’m not really distractable anymore. All right. Because Brady had to roll through and from what I’m observing, makes you feeling worse than you already did.

No, I feel pretty much the same, which is miserable. Full of regret and. Uh, you know, it didn’t really help that you threatened to beat him up in the middle of this place. Yeah. Sorry. That’s my, uh, inner and neanderthal coming out, I’m afraid. Yeah, well that inner, inner Neanderthal seems to make an appearance regularly, only when he is outraged and, oh, come on, Chloe.

A littley in you like dirt and Brady doing nothing to protect you from it. I mean, it’s outrageous. There’s nothing Brady can do to protect me from it. Kristen has convinced Rachel that I’m evil in trying to keep her away from her mother. Brady’s tried to talk to her, but the kid won’t budge. She wants me out of his life and hers.

Maybe I shouldn’t have Ned Leo’s column about you rating Rachel over the proverbial. It seems all I accomplished was postponing the inevitable. What do you mean postponing the inevitable? I’m only speaking from very recent, very personal experience, but there comes a point of no return in a failing relationship.

You tried to backpedal back to the time. The moment before everything started to fall apart, you start banging your head against the wall to make something work. And in your heart of hearts, you, you know, it’s already over. It’s just a matter of admitting it to you, son. I could have saved Sarah and myself so much heartache if I just let go at that.

A four mentioned point of no return. Instead, now we’re divorced. Sarah Ki even bring herself to continue living in Salem.

Do you think that Brady and I are at the point of no return? Doesn’t matter what I think. What do you think?

Hi. I thought you’d be done with that by now. I know, I know. I’m taking it slowly. I do not want it to end. I’m enjoying it so much.

Every time I see you lately, I, I still get these little goosebumps and call the, an adrenaline rush. I don’t know what it is, but I’m just so grateful that you’re, that you’re here. I’m not taking a minute for granted that you are here. Myself, dad, that everyone who loves you is just so grateful that you’re back.

Thank you for saying that. I feel the same way. I’m grateful to be alive. I’m grateful to be home and, and with this family that I love. So

it Is there any news about Kayla? We may be making some progress there. Uh, Chad and Stephanie were over earlier and. They think that richer may be able to shine some light on where Kayla is, my granddad. Why would, why would he? No, no, no. Don’t misunderstand. He’s not involved in it. Absolutely not involved in her disappearance, but, well, Stephanie was talking to her mother and she remembered her saying something about Victor.

Well, that could, that could be crucial to finding. I mean, if my granddad knows something, do you want me to talk to him? I, I, I could. Well, no, not yet. They’re good to talk to him and see how they do. And then if, if they don’t discover anything, then maybe you can give it a try. Yes. Hi Maggie. Hi. Hi. What can I do for you?

I hope this isn’t about time isn’t. What can I do for you? Is Victor around? Uh, he’s out of town. Oh, well we needed to ask him something. Well, how about you ask me? Maybe I can help. Yeah, maybe you can. Look, we know, uh, Kayla’s in Greece. Can you think of any reason why Kayla might have brought up Victor’s name when Stephanie asked where she was?

Well, um, no, I can’t be sure. Of course, Victor has investment properties all over. From, uh, the Athens brand of Titan to Vast that you grow up in. Is there any way that we could get a list of those properties or would we need to go through Victor? No, that wouldn’t be, uh, necessary because I have access to all that information.

I can get my assistant to draw them up for you right away. That would be very helpful. Thank you, Mary. And can you think of anyone that might know anything in Greece, anyone that’s connected to Victor, Liz? No, but I’ll keep my ear to the ground and ask Victor to do the same. Um, and, uh, if we hear anything.

You will be our first call.

Oh, so this is Victor’s childhood home, huh? Lovely, isn’t it? Yeah. Well, I know Victor came from poverty and I know from poor, but even that orphanage Marcus and I lived in didn’t smell like sheep. It’s goat. Goats. Mm-hmm. Okay. Goats and a wine cellar. What do you know? You know, speaking of wine, Bo did encourage me to, uh, crack open a white.

Oh, well, we might as well get the best of it while we’re stuck here. Mm. I don’t really think so because, uh, my prescription for you would be water and aspirin to get rid of that big headache. I know you are pretending not to have. Okay, Dr. Sweetness. Mm-hmm. We’ll hold off on the line until we’re outta here.

Oh, no, no, no. We are gonna have champagne. Oh, when we get out of here, champagne? Mm-hmm. Yeah. When we all get back to Salem, we’re gonna crack open the champagne and we’re gonna party. We’re gonna sing and dance. And you and I,

I’m gonna dance the night away. How about that? Sounds lovely. But the truth is just being with you, even in this old yucky wine cellar, far, far away from home, I’m just. So happy and grateful because you are all I really.

I don’t know how Brady and I can come back from this, but I also don’t know how to give up. I mean, I’ve loved him for so long. I understand that. But I mean, honestly, if you and Brady can’t work it out because of the kid, it’s. I know it’ll be hard for a while, but it’s not like Brady Black is only fish in the sea.

There’s plenty of handsome available men in Salem. Like who? What am I shot tag is. No, but you are the man who left me in the clutches of a Mexican drug. Lord, you were just never gonna let that go, huh? It’s kind of hard to fine. I admit that I have some flaws and I have behaved abominably at times. Now.

Come on. Compared to Brady. Come on. I’m much better looking. I’m more intelligent. I’ve broader shoulders. I’m, I’m wittier wise. I have this charming accent. Still can’t let the lefties die stuff go, huh? No. Still can’t let it go.

Rachel has been playing in a room for hours. I offered to take her out for an ice cream cone and she refused. Is she feeling all right? No, she, she, she. She didn’t want you to know that she was grounded. Oh yeah. I’ve been keeping close track of her because the other day she decided to skip school and then take an Uber to Statesville to see Kristen.

She Ubered to Statesville. She did, and that’s not all, although I, I, I forced Kristen to write a letter to Rachel. Saying that she accepted Chloe and that Rachel should too. Don’t, don’t ask me how I managed to force her to do this. Okay. Okay. It’s a whole nother story, but Rachel, she saw right through it.

And even before the letter, Kristen had done such a good job of convincing Rachel that Chloe was the enemy. I thought we could work through it, but it’s just escalated The other day at lunch, Rachel just told Chloe that she hated her. That she hated her, and out of anger and frustration, Chloe. Right back at her.

Oh, no, no, no. It’s, I don’t know what to do because I want to put my kid first as parent. I feel like I should. I don’t want Rachel to be miserable, but if I don’t fix this thing with Chloe, I’m gonna be miserable. I know. I had the same problem with John and Sammy and me. I, I, I remember how horrible I was as a teenager.

I remember the things that I said to you, but you, you, you took it with patience and grace. You were acting out of pain. That’s exactly what Rachel is doing too. But remember what happened? Hmm? You outgrew. Yeah, but it took years. I mean, you and John, you were, you were, you were married already. You were a solid couple.

There was no way I was gonna come between the two of you, but Rachel, Rachel thinks that with enough anger and enough anxiety, I’ll get back together with her mom and the top it all up, I got Xander moving in on Chloe. Wait, wait. Xander Cook, is there another Xander out? Harley, I just didn’t think he was her type.

Yeah. Whether he is or not, they’re, they’re hanging out. I’m sure they’re just friends, I’m sure for now. Oh honey, I’m so sorry. How can I help tell you what? Could you talk to Rachel? I mean, could I, I think you might be able to get through to her. Of course. I’ll do it right now. Yeah. Okay. Thank doc. Thank you.

Look, I don’t have any expectations. I just, with the exception of myself, I think you might be the one person in the world that can make her understand things well. I will do my best, but please don’t expect any miracles. Hmm. Actually, I think the fact that she has her precious grandmother, Someone to talk to and someone to comfort her.

I think that’s miracle enough. Love you.

My dad is still not picking up at Went street in voicemail. Could have all we. No reception there. Is it the best?

Maggie kept her. Her assistant just sent over a list of Victor’s properties in Greece. I’ll text it to my dad. Oh god, Chad. I mean, I know we don’t have anything concrete, but it feels like we’re getting closer because we are. We’re gonna find your mom’s stuff. What do you mean you’re gonna find her mom?

She’s alive. Hi, mom is alive.

Where do you think be went? I thought he would be eager to supervise my scientific endeavors. Yeah. And I’m surprised he put me in here with you. He must know. I try to break us outta here. Did you ever think we’re getting my brother? I do. I think the real bow is still in there. You know, back at the police station, he threatened me with a knife.

He said he was gonna take my other eye out, but he couldn’t go through with it. Fuck no. Instead, he just hit you with the butt of his gun. Well, he knew I’d be all right otherwise, why would he throw me down here and keep me alive? He’s not thinking ration.

I think that deep down Bo knows he needs us to save him from himself. Do you remember what got through to me and John when Megan messed with our heads? It was love and that’s what’s gonna get through to Bo, his sister, his best friend, his wife, his. He’s gonna feel all our love and he’s gonna come back to us just like I came back to you.

Ah, well, uh, in the good news department, Rachel is busy perfecting her 3D printing skills. Okay. I did ask her about Chloe and she was not. Very receptive. So I will, I will try again tomorrow. Actually. Uh, I know you said that this might be a long process, but time is something I don’t think I have. I feel Chloe just.

I’m slipping through my fingers as we speak. It may already be too late.

It’s amazing. I did it. Bullseye again. I am so good at this. Ah, I think actually you might be a millimeter off. Okay. Either you need glasses or you’re just a sore loser. Me Never. I’m proud of you. To your newfound dark prowess and to both of us for letting over the past and getting on with our wire.

Well, I think the universe is trying to tell me something. Looks like the rumors are true. What rumors? Well, according to Leo, your Salem’s new hottest couple. Looks like he was right.

I am really happy for you, Steph. I can’t tell you what a relief it is for me either. Relief. You barely knew my mom. True. What if she’s alive? Um, at least now I know that I didn’t deprive you. Being able to say goodbye to her. After all.

What’s Seth? It’s an old letter I found from Victor to my mother, a plea to come visit him here in Greece. I don’t think she ever read it. It said return to send her.

Looks like it makes you sad. Yeah, it does. I’m not really sure why. I mean, obviously I’m glad my mom stayed with my pop. I always felt like they had a wonderful marriage. But I find myself feeling sorry for Victor, Kiki. Why? I guess there’s just something tragic about him. Pining after her all these years kind of reminds me of when we found those letters from Emily and Didion.

Yeah. Remember how sad we were that we didn’t think that they would get there happily ever after

they did. And we will too, baby.

You’re right. You’re,

I love you.

Update written by Joseph

Eric goes to Sloan’s apartment and finds the door cracked open. Eric rushes inside and calls out for Sloan but Jada comes down the stairs. Eric questions what is going on and what Jada is doing there.

Talia goes to Rafe’s office and asks if Jada is around. Rafe says she’s out on a call and asks if she wants to leave a message for her. Talia says no, but since she’s here, she asks if Rafe and Jada enjoyed their dinner last night. Abe overhears this from outside the door and enters the office, questioning what dinner.

Chanel goes home and tells Paulina that the bakery was busy and almost sold out, but she managed to save some for Paulina and Abe. They joke about her diet as Chanel brings up Paulina seeing the cardiologist. Paulina points out that she was given a clean bill of health. Paulina recalls when she went to the appointment, Chanel said she was going to handle Sloan, so she assumes this is her doing as she shows her laptop with Leo’s latest column about Sloan, titled “Is Salem’s Top Legal Eagle a Total Psycho?”

Sloan goes to Leo’s room at the Salem Inn. Leo asks what her problem is. Sloan says it’s his stupid little gossip column. Leo jokes that she read that and immediately came over assuming it was about her, so that means the story is true. Sloan warns Leo to fix this or she will end him.

Gwen enters the Pub and sees Xander and Chloe together. Gwen remarks that it looks like the rumors are true. Chloe questions what rumors. Gwen responds that according to Leo, they are Salem’s new hottest couple and it looks like he was right. Xander questions what she is talking about. Gwen responds that she walked in and heard them toasting to letting go of the past and moving on, so it’s very clear that they are moving on with each other. Xander tells Gwen that she doesn’t understand. Gwen argues that Xander lied to her when he said he couldn’t be with her because he was still very in love with Sarah, but now she sees he’s cozying up to Chloe. Gwen complains about how Chloe treated her and Leo. Gwen declares that as far she’s concerned, they deserve each other.

Jada informs Eric that she’s here on official police business. Eric asks if anything happened to Sloan. Jada says not that she knows of and explains that she came to question her but she wasn’t around, so she decided to take a look around. Eric accuses her of breaking in. Jada informs Eric that the supervisor let her in when she showed her warrant. Eric asks if this is about the letter. Jada responds that there’s been a break in the case as last night, Paulina received a very threatening text message and she thinks Sloan might know something about it.

Abe questions Rafe and Jada having dinner together, reminding Rafe that they talked about this. Rafe assures that it was very platonic and explains that he ran in to Jada and Talia at the Pub, so they decided to sit at a table together. Rafe asks if that’s against the policy or if he should have fled the Pub entirely to maintain the police department’s sparkling reputation. Rafe introduces Abe to Talia and notes that she was also there the other night. Talia tells Abe it’s nice to meet him. Abe recognizes her name as working with Chanel and helping Paulina through her panic attack. Talia hopes Paulina is feeling a lot less stress now. Abe says not so much because this situation with Sloan is getting to her.

Chanel mocks the idea of the article hurting Sloan’s feelings. Paulina asks if it was Chanel’s work then and told all to Leo. Chanel responds that Leo doesn’t reveal his sources. Paulina says that Sloan will know who gave this to Leo. Chanel feels it’s about time that Sloan realizes that they hit back and this will hit her where it hurts. Chanel states that the only thing Sloan cares about other than making them miserable, is her law practice. Chanel wonders how many people will be looking for a psycho lawyer. Paulina hopes she’s right that this backs Sloan off and that last night’s text will be the end of it. Chanel questions what text.

Leo tells Sloan to chill and asks what exactly she wants him to do. Sloan tells Leo to issue an immediate retraction and admit that he made the whole story up. Leo responds that he got his intel from a very reliable source. Sloan guesses that was Paulina. Leo says as a journalist, he does not reveal his sources. Sloan argues that he’s not a journalist and calls him an insignificant little worm, who is about to have his ass sued for libel. Leo argues that it’s not libel if it’s true. Sloan calls it untrue that she has been harassing Paulina. Leo points out that she has motive and keeps insisting that Chanel killed her mother. Leo calls it a sad story and he’s sure the public would be on her side if she confessed in detail in his column, then they could get the whole town to hate Paulina and Chanel instead of just her. Leo turns on his recorder and suggests that Sloan tell him everything.

Eric argues that Jada has no proof that Sloan sent that text. Jada says that’s why she is here. Eric is pretty sure that Sloan has her phone with her. Jada says she could’ve used a different phone, so she decided to poke around a bit but admits she hasn’t found anything yet. Jada notes that she did notice Eric has his own drawer now, so things must be getting pretty serious. Eric states that he doesn’t need a lecture on why he shouldn’t be dating Sloan. Jada says it was just an observation but she knows it’s none of her business. Jada tells Eric that she just wants him to be happy, no matter who he is with. Eric responds that he wants her to be happy too. Eric then asks Jada if there is anybody new in her life.

Rafe asks Abe if Paulina is okay. Abe responds that she got a clean bill of health but all the harassment and pressure doesn’t let up. Rafe swears to get to the bottom of it. Abe knows he will and asks if he’s heard from Jada on if she was able to question Sloan about the text. Rafe says she hasn’t checked in yet but he will call Abe know as soon as he does. Abe apologizes for before and assures Rafe that he does trust him. Abe tells Talia that it was nice to meet her and says he’ll talk to Rafe later as he then exits the office. Talia apologizes to Rafe for getting him in trouble. Rafe says it’s okay but asks her to stop trying to push he and Jada together. Talia jokingly asks if she was that obvious. Rafe reminds her that he’s a trained detective. Talia jokes about Jada liking him so much. Rafe tells Talia that she heard Abe, he is Jada’s boss and there are rules against this so nothing can happen. Talia calls it a shame because they would make a great couple. Rafe repeats that nothing can happen. Jada asks if Rafe would be making his move if not for the policy.

Paulina shows Chanel the text she got that says “your husband can’t save you”. Chanel can’t believe Sloan sent this. Paulina says it was technically anonymous but they both know it was Sloan. Chanel asks if she told the police. Paulina assures that Abe is taking care of it. Chanel calls Sloan twisted. Paulina adds that Sloan practically gloated when she ran in to her last night. Paulina then reveals that she had another panic attack but claims it was no big deal and she got calmed down. Chanel guesses there is more. Paulina informs her that Sloan mocked her and walked away before knowing she was okay. Chanel calls Sloan a bitch. Paulina assures that she’s fine and that Sloan will get hers eventually, one way or another.

Sloan tells Leo that there is nothing to confess because she’s innocent. Leo suggests she read the comments of his column where everyone thinks she’s guilty. Sloan says that’s why she wants a retraction. Leo argues that it’s too late because the public has already made up it’s mind, so the only way to turn things around is to share her sob story and get people to feel sorry for her. Sloan asks why she would do that when Leo would just twist her words. Leo tries asking her which magazines she used to cut out the letters for the note. Sloan asks why that matters and calls him a hack. Leo urges her to work with him. Sloan demands an immediate retraction by tomorrow or else she will sue him. Sloan then storms out of the room.

Xander tells Gwen that it’s none of her business, but he and Chloe were just having a drink together and there’s nothing romantic going on. Gwen asks what about last night when she walked in and they were in each others’ arms. Chloe explains that she was upset about Brady and Xander was comforting her. Gwen asks about the photo that Leo took of them and shows it to them. Xander asks if Leo thinks he’s using the picture in his column. Gwen says not to worry as she killed the story like Xander did about Leo’s story on Chloe. Chloe points out that she was happy that Xander did that, so she hugged him. Gwen asks if that’s how they shacked up and traded sex for favors. Xander repeats that there’s nothing going on between them and asks why Gwen cares anyways when she’s sleeping with Alex. Gwen responds that she doesn’t care, she just doesn’t like being lied to. Gwen says if Xander didn’t want to be with her, he could’ve just told her instead of making up an excuse about being hung up on Sarah. Gwen calls Xander a coward and tells him to just admit he and Chloe are together now. Xander then gives in and tells Gwen that she’s right. Xander declares he’s fallen madly in love with Chloe and doesn’t care who knows it as he then grabs Chloe and kisses her, shocking Gwen.

Jada tells Eric that she’s not seeing anybody right now as she’s focused on work. Eric hopes she doesn’t neglect her personal life for too long as she deserves to be with somebody great. Jada thanks him and decides to get going. Jada asks Eric to remind Sloan to stop by the police station the first chance she gets. Eric agrees to tell her. Jada hopes Sloan is aware that they have ways to access deleted messages. Eric really thinks Sloan had nothing to do with this. Jada says it would still be in her best interest to cooperate as she then exits the apartment.

Rafe tells Talia that he should get back to work. Talia complains that he’s avoiding the question. Rafe says he will let Jada know that she stopped by. Talia argues that he doesn’t need to answer the question because she can see in their eyes that they like each other and they just need to find a way around the regulations. Rafe tells Talia that there are a lot of people in this town that he trusts and he hasn’t discussed this situation with them, so she shouldn’t be offended that he won’t with her either. Talia jokes that Rafe is right up Jada’s alley.

Abe comes home and sees what Chanel brought from the bakery but Paulina says that’s for later as Chanel went to the Bistro to pick up dinner. Paulina adds that Chanel was pretty upset when she told her about Sloan walking away from her during her panic attack and about the text message. Abe mentions talking to Rafe about that and that he sent Jada to Sloan’s apartment, so as soon as she reports back, he will give him an update. Paulina hopes they nail Sloan to the wall. Abe declares that in the meantime, he thinks they should leave Salem.

Sloan confronts Chanel in the town square and tells her to tell Paulina to stop spreading lies to the reporters. Chanel reveals that she did it, not Paulina, and says they weren’t lies. Sloan warns that if Chanel was the one who talked to Leo, then she’s the one who will go back and set the record straight. Chanel argues that the record is already straight. Chanel accuses Sloan of trashing Paulina’s office and sending the text. Sloan questions what text. Chanel tells her about the text that said “your husband can’t save you”. Sloan denies sending it so Chanel asks who else would send it. Sloan suggests one of the other hundred thousand people that hate that old obnoxious bitch. Chanel responds to that by slapping Sloan. Sloan shouts that she will kill her and attacks Chanel.

Paulina questions Abe wanting to move out of Salem. Abe clarifies that he didn’t say move but just an extended vacation and points out that they never had a honeymoon. Paulina argues that this is about getting away from Sloan. Abe admits that it is and says the police are on the case, so once Sloan is behind bars, they’ll come back. Paulina complains that they would be running away. Abe encourages her not to think about it like that. Abe says she’s under a lot of stress and Paris is beautiful this time of year. Paulina says she would love to but she can’t leave Chanel alone. Abe suggests she come with them but Paulina argues that Chanel won’t leave her bakery for that long which means she has to stay and protect her from Sloan, especially after she got Leo to run that column in the Spectator. Abe is not sure that’s a good idea with what they know about Sloan.

Chanel and Sloan fight in the town square. Chanel calls her a psycho while Sloan says Chanel is the one who killed her mother. Chanel grabs a bouquet of flowers and starts hitting Sloan with them until Talia runs out to break it up. Sloan argues that Chanel started it. Chanel responds that she has no problem finishing it. Talia declares it ends now and warns Sloan to leave before she calls the cops. Sloan remarks that she had no problem filing a restraining order against Paulina and guesses she will have to file one against Chanel too. Sloan then walks off. Tanel checks on Chanel, who shouts that she hates Sloan. Talia sees that Chanel is bleeding. Chanel calls it just a scratch while Talia worries that it could be infected. Talia decides to take Chanel to the bakery where they have a first aid kit.

Jada joins Rafe in his office. Rafe asks how it went with Sloan. Jada informs him that she wasn’t home so she just looked around the apartment and only found that she has crap taste in music and more handcuffs than the department, but no burner phone or cutout magazines. Rafe asks if she left a message. Jada confirms that she did on Sloan’s phone and with Eric. Rafe asks how it went with Eric. Jada says it went how it always does with an ex but she thought it was good thing because she saw him living there with a dominatrix who listens to Coldplay and realized she is over him.

After Xander suddenly kissed Chloe, he asks Gwen if she’s satisfied. Gwen calls him a pig and storms out of the Pub. Xander calls Gwen a nut. Chloe remarks that Gwen was right about one thing, he is a pig, and she then slaps him.

Gwen goes home where Leo tells her that she won’t believe what he just went through. Gwen says he won’t believe her day either as she tells Leo that he was right about Xander and Chloe. Gwen says they were at the Pub and she was showing her cleavage while he was undressing her with his eyes. Leo asks Gwen if quietly walked away but Gwen says she went over to confront them. Gwen adds that at first, Xander said nothing was going on but then he kissed Chloe right in front of her. Leo is happy and exclaims that this means they are winning, leaving Gwen confused.

Xander questions why Chloe slapped him. Chloe argues that he assaulted her. Xander says he just gave her a kiss while Chloe complains that it was in public for someone else’s benefit. Chloe doesn’t like being dragged in to his relationship with Gwen and especially not being used as a prop for his ex. Xander admits she has a point. Chloe asks if he stopped to think for a second about what he did. Chloe complains that Gwen will go straight to Leo, who will put it in his next column, and then Brady will read it. Xander thought she was moving on. Chloe argues that she never said that but it still doesn’t give him a right to maul her in public. Xander apologizes and admits he didn’t think. Xander repeats that he is sorry because he really would like them to be friends.

Jada tells Rafe that she’ll get started on the report. Rafe adds that her sister stopped by to see her and then mentioned their dinner last night in front of Abe. Jada says she will tell her to back off. Rafe notes that he already did that but it did not seem to phase her. Rafe says Talia went from their dinner together to how unfair the policy is and then concluded with how clearly attracted they are to each other. Jada says she’s sorry and she’s mortified. Rafe says it’s okay and he just wanted her to know that Talia clearly hasn’t given up her campaign. Jada assures that she will handle her but insists that she has never encouraged that as she knows there can be nothing between them and that Rafe has no interest in her in that way. Rafe thinks the problem is that he actually is interested.

Sloan comes home and finds Eric cleaning up the apartment. Sloan questions what all this is. Eric explains that Jada executed a search warrant after someone sent Paulina a threatening text message last night. Sloan remarks that apparently she’s already been tried and found guilty. Eric mentions Jada leaving a message that they want Sloan to come to the police station. Sloan complains that she’s getting tired of this. Eric adds that they want her to bring her phone and she better do what they say. Sloan assures that she has nothing to hide and offers her phone so Eric can see for himself.

Talia takes care of Chanel’s wound at the bakery. Chanel jokes that it was good to hire a doctor. Talia comments on Chanel getting in a street brawl and that it really looked like they were going to kill each other. Chanel admits she’s really glad Talia showed up when she did in general. Chanel says when Allie left, she lost not only her girlfriend but also her business partner and she was feeling overwhelmed until Talia showed up and now she’s finally seeing a path forward. Chanel thanks Talia for everything.

Gwen tells Leo that she doesn’t get how she’s winning. Leo encourages that her sexual exploits with Alex have made Xander mad with jealousy, so now he’s trying to make her jealous by stripping Chloe. Gwen remarks that it doesn’t feel like winning to her. Leo insists that Xander is using Chloe so that Gwen will come back to him. Gwen suggests maybe Leo’s plan backfired and now Xander has real feelings for Chloe. Leo admits he hadn’t thought of that.

Xander tells Chloe that he’s really sorry and asks for another chance. Chloe relates to being provoked in to doing something you regret. Chloe admits she’s actually really enjoyed hanging out with Xander and she never thought she’d be leaning on him for emotional support. Chloe jokes with Xander that they are good as long as he keeps his dirty paws away from her.

Jada questions what Rafe just said. Rafe clarifies that if he wasn’t her boss, he would ask her out. Jada responds that she would say yes. Rafe says he thought if they were aware of the situation, they could be more in control of the situation. Jada agrees but thinks the problem is not that he’s her boss because he’s very good and professional. Jada thinks the problem is the policy. Rafe says the policy is still real so nothing can happen. Jada decides to get going now that that’s settled. They say goodnight to one another as Jada then exits the office.

Eric tells Sloan that he doesn’t need to see her phone as he believes her. Sloan states that at least someone does. Eric does have one question and asks why she has baby’s-breath from a bouquet in her hair. Sloan says it’s been a long day and she’s going to shower. Sloan asks Eric to make dinner or order in because she’s not in the mood to go out as she’s had it with the good people of Salem. After Sloan goes to shower, Eric picks up her phone.

Abe tells Paulina that he wasn’t just trying to get her away from Sloan and it’s not that he doesn’t like having Chanel here, but he would like a little alone time with her. Paulina says once Sloan is behind bars, they will be Paris bound and they kiss. Paulina and Abe get the table set for dinner while Paulina decides to text Chanel to find out where she is.

Chanel and Talia are interrupted by Paulina’s text. Chanel says she should get going since Paulina wants her dinner. Talia tells Chanel that she’s all bandaged up and good to go. Chanel notes that they always order too much and invites Talia to join them for dinner. Talia asks if she’s sure as she doesn’t want to intrude. Chanel assures that Paulina loves her and will be happy to see her again. Talia accepts the invite and thanks her. Chanel thanks Talia for the medical assistance and they leave together. After they leave, someone sneaks in to the bakery and pours something in to a bowl of dough to tamper with their product..

Update written by Joseph

Alex goes to Gwen’s room at the Salem Inn. Alex says he knows she’s busy but her assistant told him that she was working from home. Gwen says it’s okay and invites him in. Alex says he just needs to vent about his infuriating relative and figured she might understand. Gwen assumes he’s talking about Xander, so she says she is all ears.

Chloe and Xander play darts at the Brady Pub. Chloe talks about her bad last shot and how this time she is closing her eyes to concentrate first. Chloe then throws and hits a bullseye which excites her. Xander congratulates her and they hug as Brady walks in and greets them.

During hypnosis, Marlena asks if Stephanie still hears the sound of her mother’s voice but she doesn’t so Marlena brings her out of the hypnosis. Marlena asks how she feels. Stephanie says she’s fine and asks if it worked. Chad worries that he messed it up by asking who’s name Stephanie heard and thinks he threw it off. Stephanie confirms that she did hear Kayla say a name. Chad asks if it was Thomas Banks, but Stephanie reveals that she’s pretty sure it was Victor Kiriakis. Stephanie confirms that’s definitely what Kayla said. Chad wonders what it means and what Victor could possibly have to do with Kayla’s kidnapping.

Kayla helps Steve up and sits him in a chair in the wine cellar, asking if he’s okay. Steve asks if it’s really her and kisses her as they tearfully reunite.

Alex tells Gwen that he’s sorry to disappoint and as much as detests Xander, he’s here about Maggie, who he calls the boss from Hell. Gwen asks what she did now. Alex says he had an unbelievable opportunity land in his lap with the four prisms that the DiMeras and ISA were trying to get their hands on for decades. Alex says he found out Dr. Rolf had them and he pulled some strings so the prisms would’ve belonged to Titan in the biggest deal of the century but Maggie didn’t understand and made him go crawling back. Alex calls this a catastrophe because they lost and now the prisms will end up in the wrong hands and who knows what they will be used for.

Steve hopes he’s not dreaming and Kayla assures that it’s real as they kiss. Kayla tells him that she’s missed him so much. Steve thought he was going to have to miss her forever and to live without her. Steve calls this a miracle. Kayla asks how badly he’s hurt. Steve questions her worrying about him after everything she’s been through. Steve says he just has a little headache from where Bo pistol whipped him and doesn’t suppose that was a dream either. Steve can’t believe it and talks about Bo being dead for years but there he was alive and then he treated him like his sworn enemy. Kayla explains that Megan brainwashed him so he’s not really Bo and is like a heartless impostor. Steve asks if Bo was working with Thomas Banks in taking Kayla off the island. Kayla doesn’t know anything about that and asks why. Steve informs her that Megan said Thomas was the one who took her. Kayla calls Megan a liar and complains that Bo went rogue and Megan knew it. Kayla figures Megan just didn’t want to give Hope the satisfaction of knowing that Bo is alive. Steve asks if she knows why Bo brought her here. Kayla explains that Bo wants her to use the prisms to create the miracle serum that Dr. Rolf and Megan have been working on. Kayla says she doesn’t even have any idea how to do it, so they are never getting out of here. Steve encourages that so many people are looking for her and they know he’s here now, so it’s only a matter of time before they are found.

Stephanie goes over that they know Kayla is in Greece and Victor is from Greece. Marlena wonders if Victor was somehow involved in Kayla’s disappearance. Stephanie doesn’t know what to think. Chad suggests going straight to Victor directly. Stephanie agrees and adds that they could get Maggie involved to help. Chad assures that Maggie will be on their side.

Gwen tells Alex that she still doesn’t understand why Victor made Maggie the CEO of Titan and argues that she doesn’t seem very bright or have much experience. Gwen insists that Maggie can’t afford to lose Alex because she needs his energy and business sense. Gwen calls him a tremendous asset to the company. Alex thanks her but says unfortunately Maggie thinks he’s a liability so that’s why Maggie is dying to replace him and probably will. Gwen questions who she would replace him with and who would want to take a thankless job. Alex tells her that it starts with an X. Alex says that Xander is miserable as Gwen’s business partner so he’d be happy to abandon the Spectator and make his mark on Titan. Alex adds that Xander would also be punishing him for taking his place in Gwen’s bed, by taking his spot in Titan.

Brady questions what’s going on here. Xander says they are just playing darts while Brady points out that Chloe hates darts. Xander says not anymore as she just got a bullseye. Chloe tells Brady that she and Xander were eating alone at separate tables, so they just ran in to each other. Chloe asks how Rachel is doing. Brady says she’s okay and happy to have Marlena back. Chloe tells him how sorry and ashamed she is of what she said to Rachel and says it’s no excuse but she was so hurt from Rachel saying she hated her. Xander assures that Brady understands, but Brady tells him to stay out of this. Xander argues that if Brady doesn’t understand, that would be very unkind of him since Rachel is being horrible to Chloe. Brady tells him to shut up while Xander continues saying that Rachel has provoked Chloe over and over again until she finally couldn’t take it anymore, lost her temper, and gave Rachel a taste of her own nasty medicine. Brady warns Xander not to talk about his daughter and that he has no idea what she’s been through. Brady adds that Rachel’s mother is in prison, so as a parent, he tries to give her tenderness and understanding. Brady questions how any of this is Xander’s business and then questions Chloe telling him about it. Chloe apologizes but says she was upset and needed someone to talk to. Brady questions confiding in Xander of all people in Salem. Xander argues that he happens to be compassionate and understanding. Xander remarks that he’s glad that Chloe stood up to Brady’s spiteful daughter. Brady calls Xander spiteful and insensitive, arguing that he doesn’t know what it’s like to be a parent so he can’t talk like he does. Brady adds that Xander doesn’t even know how to be a decent human being. Xander brings up that he gave Alex a black eye the other day, so maybe Brady would like one too.

Steve tells Kayla how crushed their kids were to lose her and brings up how Stephanie didn’t make it to the hospital in time before she supposedly died and she was so tortured by that. Kayla can’t wait to see Joey, Tripp, and Stephanie. Kayla worries that Steve needs stitches but Steve assures it will heal fine. Kayla says it’s bad enough that Bo kidnapped her, but now to hurt him this way. Steve insists that they will be fine and Bo will be too. Kayla hopes so but feels that Bo somehow broke away from Megan’s mind control. Kayla talks about all Bo has been through over ten years in limbo with whatever Dr. Rolf and Megan did to him. Kayla worries that Bo is at war with himself because he kept talking about wanting a fresh start and figuring out who he really is. Steve asks if being Bo Brady doesn’t appeal to him anymore. Kayla says she kept trying to appeal to him about their past but Bo didn’t want to hear it and just dismissed it. Kayla adds that Bo wants to build an empire with wealth and power. Kayla thinks it’s all about being Victor’s son or maybe even his clone.

Gwen encourages Alex that Titan is his birthright, so she warns him not to roll over and let Xander take his job. Gwen questions why Maggie would want Xander anyway after he screwed her daughter over. Alex remarks that it seems Maggie has a soft spot for Xander and just forgives him for whatever he does. Alex can’t believe Maggie gives Xander a pass at every turn, but get pissed off at him if he even sits in her CEO chair. Alex stops and apologizes but Gwen tells him to go ahead and insult Xander because she doesn’t care. Alex asks if she no longer has a soft spot for Xander. Gwen asks why should she. Gwen adds that ever since taking a step back from their relationship, Xander has been avoiding her at every turn and didn’t even bother to show up at the office for work today. Alex asks if he at least had an excuse but Gwen says he didn’t call or even bother go give an excuse. Gwen remarks that it’s no mystery where he’s spending his time now and that he’s probably cozying up to Chloe as they speak.

Chloe tries to stop Xander and Brady from fighting. Xander calls Brady arrogant and self righteous, bringing up that he fathered a child with a sadistic psychopath. Brady warns him not to go there. Chloe says that’s enough. Brady agrees and then Chloe tells him he can leave. Brady refuses to leave until he talks to Chloe. Xander asks if Chloe wants to talk to him. Brady argues that Chloe can speak for herself and asks if they can talk. Chloe asks Xander to give them a few minutes. Xander agrees and goes to get another round of drinks. Brady sits with Chloe and says he wants to fix this which surprises Chloe. Chloe cries that she was so terrible to his daughter and feels horrible about it. Chloe says she would understand why that would be a deal breaker. Brady says it doesn’t have to be and that Rachel just needs to understand that Chloe doesn’t hate her. Chloe asks how she could hate Rachel when she’s just a child who has been through way too much lately. Chloe says her heart breaks for her having Kristen as a mother. Chloe adds that she truly loves Rachel and wishes she didn’t see her as the enemy or as the person who came between her and her mother. Brady encourages that they used to have a great relationship. Chloe wishes she could have that again but cries that she can’t take back what she said, so Rachel just thinks of her as the evil step monster. Chloe asks how to change that. Brady says he will talk to her. Chloe offers to write an apology but Brady says he seems to be the only one who can get through to her. Chloe is not sure talking will be enough to get Rachel to see her in a better light, feeling that it’s going to take a miracle. Brady questions if she’s saying she wants to give up because of this issue with his daughter. Chloe cries that she doesn’t. Xander then comes back and asks Chloe if she’s ready for a rematch at darts. Brady then gets up and walks out of the Pub.

Alex questions Gwen about Xander and Chloe. Gwen informs him that she saw them with their heads together the other day. Gwen says she stopped Leo from putting it in his column, thinking he was making something out of nothing, but now she’s having second thoughts. Gwen shows Alex the photo that Leo sent her of Xander and Chloe hugging and asks if that looks platonic to him. Alex says maybe. Gwen says maybe she should’ve let Leo run the story then, especially since he replaced it with something Sloan would have gone mental over. Gwen wonders if Leo was right about Chloe and Xander because after she told Leo it was rubbish, she walked in and saw the two of them in each others’ arms.

Xander tries to encourage Chloe to another game of darts but Chloe doesn’t want to play anymore. Xander blames Brady for making her feel worse. Chloe says she’s just miserable and full of regret and guilt. Chloe adds that Xander threatening to beat up Brady didn’t help. Xander apologizes and argues that Rachel treating Chloe like dirt and Brady doing nothing to protect her from it is outrageous. Chloe argues that there’s nothing Brady can do to protect her from it because Kristen has convinced Rachel that she’s evil and that she’s keeping her from her mother, so now Rachel just wants her out of her and Brady’s life. Xander guesses all he did by nixing Leo’s article was postpone the inevitable. Chloe asks what he means. Xander says from personal and recent experience, there comes a point of no return in a failing relationship. Xander talks about trying to go back to before it all fell apart and trying to make it work, but it’s already over and just a matter of admitting it to yourself. Xander says he could have saved he and Sarah so much heartache if he just let go, but now they are divorced and Sarah can’t even bring herself to live in Salem. Chloe asks if he thinks she and Brady are at the point of no return. Xander responds that it doesn’t matter what he thinks and asks what she thinks.

Brady goes home where Marlena is reading. Brady talks about still getting goosebumps when he sees her because he’s so grateful that she is there. Marlena feels the same and is grateful to be alive and home with family she loves. Brady asks if there’s any news about Kayla. Marlena responds that they may be making progress as Chad and Stephanie were over and they think Victor may be able to shine some light on where Kayla is. Brady questions that. Marlena explains that Victor is not involved in Kayla’s disappearance but Stephanie remembered Kayla saying something about him. Brady says that could be crucial to finding Kayla and offers to talk to Victor. Marlena says they will see how they do and if they don’t discover anything, then maybe Brady can give it a try.

Chad and Stephanie go to the Titan office where Maggie asks what she can do for them. Chad asks if Victor is around. Maggie says he’s out of town. Stephanie says they needed to ask him something. Maggie suggests asking her and maybe she could help. Chad explains that Kayla is in Greece and asks if Maggie can think of any reason why Kayla would bring up Victor’s name when Stephanie asked where she was. Maggie says she can’t be sure but Victor has investment properties all over Greece. Stephanie asks for a list of those properties. Maggie says she has access and get her assistant on it right away. Stephanie says that would be very helpful. Chad thanks her and asks if she can think of anyone in Greece that is connected to Victor. Maggie says they will keep their ears out and if they hear anything, they will be their first call.

Steve and Kayla talk about this being Victor’s childhood home. Steve comments on the smell of goats. Kayla mentions that Bo did encourage her to open up a bottle from the wine cellar. Steve suggests making the best of it while they are stuck here but Kayla thinks he should stick to water and aspirin for his headache. Steve agrees to hold off on wine until they get out. Kayla assures they will have champagne when they get out. Steve agrees that they will party, sing, and dance back in Salem. Kayla states that just being with him makes her so happy and grateful because he is all she really needs as they kiss.

Chloe tells Xander that she doesn’t know how she and Brady can come back from this but she also doesn’t know how to give up since she has loved him for so long. Xander says he understands but it’s not like Brady is the only fish in the sea as there are plenty of handsome single men in Salem. Chloe asks like who. Xander asks what he is. Chloe brings up that he left her in the clutches of a Mexican drug lord. Xander says she’s just never going to let that go. Xander admits he has some flaws and has behaved abominably at times, but jokes that he’s better looking and more intelligent than Brady. Chloe jokes that she still can’t let the left her to die stuff go as they toast their beers.

Marlena tells Brady that Rachel has been playing in her room for hours and she offered to take her out for ice cream but she refused. Brady explains that Rachel didn’t want Marlena to know that she’s grounded because she decided to skip school and take an uber to prison to see Kristen. Brady adds that he forced Kristen to write a letter to Rachel, telling her to accept Chloe, but Rachel saw through it. Brady thought they could work through it but it’s just escalated and then Rachel told Chloe that she hated her and out of anger and frustration, Chloe gave it right back. Brady doesn’t know what to do as he wants to put his kid first because he doesn’t want her to be miserable, but if he doesn’t fix things with Chloe, he’s going to be miserable. Marlena relates to having the same problem with John and Sami. Brady remembers how terrible he was to her as a teenager but she took it with grace. Marlena understands he was acting out of anger like Rachel is, but he outgrew it. Brady says that John and Marlena were already married and a solid couple, so there was no coming between them while Rachel still thinks that he and Kristen could get back together. Brady adds that to top it off, Xander is moving in on Chloe. Marlena is surprised as she didn’t think Xander was her type. Brady says whether he is or isn’t, they are hanging out. Marlena assures they are just friends. Brady agrees, for now. Marlena says she’s so sorry and asks how she can help. Brady asks Marlena to talk to Rachel, thinking she might be able to get through to her. Marlena agrees to do that right now. Brady says he has no expectations but thinks she might be the only other person in the world that can make her understand things. Marlena agrees to do her best but says not to expect any miracles. Brady thinks Rachel having her grandma back is miracle enough. Marlena then heads to Rachel’s room.

Chad and Stephanie walk through the town square as Stephanie tries calling Steve but says it’s going straight to voicemail. Chad gets a text from Maggie with the listings of Victor’s properties in Greece which Stephanie says she will text over to Steve. Stephanie knows they don’t have anything concrete, but she feels like they are getting closer. Chad encourages that they are and they are going to find her mom. Alex then appears and questions what they mean by finding her mom. Stephanie then reveals to Alex that her mom is alive.

Kayla wonders where Bo went as she thought he would be eager to supervise her scientific endeavors. Steve wonders why Bo left him with her, knowing he’d try to break them out. Kayla asks if he thinks anything will bring her brother back. Steve assures that he thinks the real Bo is still in there. Steve talks about how Bo threatened to take his other eye out but he couldn’t go through with it and kept him alive. Kayla says Bo isn’t thinking rationally. Steve believes that deep down, Bo knows he needs them to save him from himself. Steve brings up that it was love that got through to he and John when Megan messed with their minds. Steve encourages that will get through to Bo as he will feel all of their love and come back to them, just like he came back to her.

Marlena comes back from Rachel’s room and informs Brady that Rachel is busy perfecting her 3D printing skills. Marlena adds that she did ask about Chloe but Rachel was not very receptive, so she will try again tomorrow. Brady knows she said this might be a long process but he doesn’t think he has time as he feels Chloe slipping through his fingers as they speak and it may already be too late..

Chloe resumes playing darts with Xander and gets another bullseye. Xander says he’s proud of her. Xander toasts to Chloe’s new found dart prowess and to both of them letting go of the past and getting on with their lives, right as Gwen enters the Pub. Gwen thinks the universe is trying to tell her something and remarks that it looks like the rumors are true. Chloe questions what rumors. Gwen responds that according to Leo, they are Salem’s new hottest couple and it looks like he was right.

Alex tells Stephanie that he’s really happy for her and can’t tell her what a relief it is for him either. Stephanie points out that he barely knew her mom. Alex says that’s true, but if she’s alive, at least now he knows he didn’t deprive her of being able to say goodbye to her after all.

Kayla shows Steve the old letter she found from Victor to Caroline, a plea to come visit him in Greece, but she never read it as it was returned to sender. Steve notes that it looks like it makes Kayla sad. Kayla confirms it does but she’s not really sure why. Kayla is glad Caroline stayed with her father as she always felt they had a wonderful marriage, but she finds herself feeling sorry for Victor and questions why. Kayla guesses there is just something tragic about Victor pining after Caroline all these years. Steve says it reminds him of when they read the story of Emily and Gideon. Kayla recalls how sad they were, thinking they wouldn’t get their happily ever after. Steve points out that they did and they will too. Kayla hugs Steve and says she loves him.

Update written by Joseph

Marlena is reading at home until Chad shows up at the door. Marlena says it’s nice to see him and asks if he’s alright. Chad says he’s fine and that he heard she’s alive but he had to see it with his own eyes. Chad asks how she is and tells her she looks amazing. Marlena says she’s just so happy and thrilled to be back with the people she loves. Chad assures that everyone else is just as happy and calls it a miracle but notes that it’s just too bad that Kate didn’t make it too.

Stephanie is with Tripp at his apartment when her phone rings and she answers hoping it’s Kayla. Stephanie is shocked by what she hears and questions how did this happen.

Kayla opens the locked box she found in the wine cellar in Greece and finds a stack of envelopes. She wonders what could be so important for Victor to keep hidden all this time. Kayla picks one up and sees it’s a letter addressed to her mother, Caroline Brady.

Steve introduces himself to the cop in Greece and says he’s working with the ISA and needs to see the evidence found in Dr. Rolf’s room. The cop responds that he’s afraid his colleague already made that request as he arrived a few minutes before him. Steve asks if he’s still there. The cop informs him that “Mr. Donovan” is in the other room. Steve questions Shane being there. The cop suggests Steve join him while he checks to see what’s taking so long on their end. Steve goes to the room looking for Shane, but is shocked to find Bo instead. Steve asks if it’s really him and how this can be. Steve questions him being alive which Bo confirms that he is. Steve hugs Bo in shock while asking how this is possible that he’s alive. Steve then questions what Bo is doing in Greece, posing as Shane Donovan.

Hope and Harris show the photo of Thomas Banks around the restaurant until the bartender calls out that he wants to talk to them.

Stephanie says she’ll be there as soon as she can and hangs up. Tripp asks about the call. Stephanie reveals it was a hospital in Seattle as their brother Joey has been in an accident.

Kayla questions Victor keeping this letter to Caroline all these years. Kayla opens the envelope reads the letter where Victor wrote that he had just arrived in Greece and how it was terrible to leave her behind in Salem but that it was for the best after what happened between them.

Steve questions Bo about what is going on, how he’s alive, and what he’s doing here. Bo calls it a long story. Steve says that’s a story he’d like to hear. Steve explains that the cop told him that Bo said he was Shane Donovan and that he was trying to get all the evidence from Dr. Rolf’s room and asks why he would say that. Bo claims that he’s working undercover for the ISA but he can’t go in to detail. Bo says he just has to get some evidence and get the hell out. Steve asks if he’s in some kind of trouble. Bo claims he’s working a case and just has to go. Steve says not until they talk. Bo says he can’t talk as this is a highly sensitive operation. Steve argues that Kayla is missing and some psycho has her which is why he’s in Greece because he’s trying to track down Thomas Banks. Bo asks why Banks. Steve says that he and Hope have reason to believe Thomas is the one who took Kayla. Steve adds that Hope is here in Greece. Steve pulls out his phone and says he has to call Hope to tell her that Bo is alive. Bo grabs Steve’s phone away from him and says he’s not calling anyone.

The bartender in Greece introduces himself as Konstantin and says he’s the owner. He acknowledges that Hope might not mean any trouble but he recognizes seeing Harris on the news, being arrested for many crimes including trying to kill Hope on their wedding. Hope tries to explain as Konstantin questions how Harris got out of prison, assuming he must have escaped and is now a wanted man. He asks Hope if Harris is holding her against her will and then says she must be too scared to say so. He declares that Hope is safe now because he will make sure Harris never hurts anyone again.

Tripp asks Stephanie about Joey’s accident. Stephanie notes that he’s fine but pretty banged up with cracked ribs and a broken leg, so he’s in surgery now. Stephanie says that Joey is all alone and going to need help getting around so she’s going to Seattle since Steve and Kayla can’t. Tripp tells her that he will go. Stephanie argues against that, pointing out that Tripp has a job here. Tripp says she does too but Stephanie says she can work from anywhere. Tripp points out that Stephanie hasn’t slept since hearing from Kayla, so she needs to go see Marlena to see if Kayla left any clue as to where she might be. Tripp adds that Joey would want her to focus on finding Kayla. Tripp decides he will book his flight now. Stephanie thanks him and says she really appreciates it, but reminds him about his big date with Wendy.

Chad asks Marlena about Kate being in the lab too. Marlena confirms that Megan was holding all three of them. Chad goes over how now Marlena is home, Kayla is missing, and Kate’s gone. Marlena says she’s so sorry. Chad says he can’t stop thinking about Kate and trying to put all the bizarre pieces together. Chad asks what Megan wanted and what she did. Chad knows she doesn’t want to relive the nightmare, but Kate was like a mother to him and had a second chance but his own sister took it away from her. Chad states that losing Abigail how they did was a shock and having the answers made it a little easier. Marlena understands and wishes she could tell him more, but they were sedated most of the time and there was only one day where they were conscious together. Chad asks how Kate was. Marlena says she was alright and kept demanding to know what Megan planned to do with him but Megan wouldn’t tell them much and then she put them under again. Marlena adds that when she and Kayla woke up, Kate wasn’t there, so they tried to escape and find her but Dr. Rolf stopped them. Chad asks if he told them where Kate was. Marlena responds that Kate was with Megan as she was apparently going to be the first test subject of Rolf’s new serum which he said would be life changing. Marlena mentions that Megan came back and said that Kate had refused to cooperate so she was going to be taking a different path. Marlena adds that she and Kayla remained in the lab and a few minutes later, they heard a gunshot. Marlena assumes it was the same henchman who took Kayla off the island. Chad brings up Thomas Banks. Marlena says she hadn’t considered him and asks if his name came up. Chad informs her that Steve told Stephanie that Megan is claiming that Thomas Banks took Kayla.

Hope stops Konstantin and tells him there has been a misunderstanding. Hope explains that what he saw was old news and shows him an article on her phone that says Harris was cleared and found innocent of all charges. Harris confirms it’s true and says he feels terrible about all the people he hurt. Konstantin apologizes. Harris says he had every right to be upset and he’s glad that he was looking out for Hope. Hope thanks Konstantin and promises that Harris is not a danger to anyone. Hope adds that he’s actually helping her find her sister in law who was kidnapped. Hope shows Konstantin a picture of Kayla and asks if he’s seen her.

Kayla continues reading Victor’s letter to Caroline about how he wanted to stay in Salem but it had become too much of a risk with his feelings for her and that he loved her, so he didn’t want to destroy her life or her family.

Steve asks what the hell Bo is doing and says they need to call Hope and find Thomas Banks. Bo disagrees. Steve repeats that Thomas took Kayla. Bo responds that Thomas didn’t take Kayla, because he did. Steve asks what he’s talking about. Bo says he doesn’t have time to explain. Steve demands to know where Kayla is and asks if she’s alright. Bo says of course and asks if he really thinks he would hurt his own sister. Steve says he doesn’t, but he doesn’t get why Bo took Kayla off Megan’s island without telling anybody when he and John were there searching for her. Steve doesn’t know how they missed him. Bo asks what difference it makes. Steve shouts that Kayla is his wife and argues that Bo had to know how worried everyone would be. Steve questions Bo not letting anybody know and that he couldn’t find a way to make contact. Bo says he doesn’t have time for this. Steve tells Bo that he can trust him. Bo says that’s enough and he has to get this evidence. Bo tries to leave but Steve grabs him. Bo tells him to get the hell off of him.

Konstantin says he has not seen Kayla. Hope shows a photo of Thomas Banks and Konstantin confirms he has seen him but not in a few years. Hope tells Harris they should get back to the hotel and check in with Steve. Konstantin stops them and offers them a meal since he couldn’t provide them any information.

Tripp tells Stephanie that he hates to cancel on Wendy, but Joey needs him and Wendy will understand. Stephanie tells him to call her when he gets there. Stephanie hugs him and says he’s the best. Tripp wishes her luck with Marlena, hoping that she remembers something that helps Steve find Kayla. Stephanie then exits the apartment.

Kayla continues reading Victor’s letter to Caroline where he said he could never hurt her family but dreamed of them having a child together. Victor then wrote suggesting Caroline come there to Greece so they could be together.

Chad asks Marlena if she thinks Thomas took Kayla. Marlena admits it’s possible since Thomas had worked for Megan before. Chad asks if she saw Thomas in the lab. Marlena says she only saw Megan and Dr. Rolf. Marlena then remembers that there was someone else there.

Bo repeats to Steve to get the hell off of him and pulls a knife. Steve doesn’t believe he will cut him and reminds Bo that even if they haven’t seen each other in 10 years, he’s still his best friend in the world. Bo brings up that there was a time they hated each other and he took Steve’s eye. Steve asks Bo to put the knife down and talk. Bo says he’s done enough talking and warns him to let go before someone gets hurt. Steve doesn’t know what’s going on with him or what he’s been through but argues that this is not him as Bo Brady would never hurt him. Bo asks if he’s sure about that. Steve says he is but Bo then hits him and pins him against the wall with his knife held up. Bo declares that he took one of Steve’s eyes and now he’s going to take the other. Bo takes the knife and stabs through the wall next to Steve’s head. Steve laughs and says he knew Bo couldn’t do it. Bo then instead pulls out a gun. Steve says he doesn’t know what’s changed in Bo, but he can’t change 40 years of history and he’ll always be his closest friend. Bo tells him to shut the hell up and knocks him out.

Marlena tells Chad about the fourth tube in the lab and Dr. Rolf was about to tell her and Kayla who was in it, but Megan walked in so they never got a name. Marlena doesn’t think it could’ve been Thomas Banks if he’s been causing problems all around the world. Chad asks who she thinks it was then. Marlena is not sure they will ever know. Chad thanks her for telling him what happened and he’s glad to know that she and Kayla were with Kate in her last days and that she went out fighting. Marlena is glad he came by as they hug. Marlena tells Chad to call if he has any more questions. Chad says he appreciates that. Chad goes to leave and opens the door right as Stephanie arrives.

Kayla continues reading Victor’s letter to Caroline, saying he’s come to learn that nothing is more precious than time with the people you love and that he could send her a plane ticket so they could be together for awhile.

Hope tells Konstantin that she would normally say yes but they have lots of work to do. Konstantin encourages them to keep up their strength and calls Hope his best customer, saying he can’t let her leave without taking good care of her. Konstantin recalls Hope and Harris being there on the day they met and how happy they looked. Konstantin says that everyone there loved Hope and encourages them to have a seat, so they do. Konstantin announces he will recreate the magic of that night.

Wendy comes home and sees Tripp’s bag is packed. Tripp comes out of the back on his phone, booking his flight to Seattle. Wendy questions him going to Seattle. Tripp confirms that he is going this afternoon. Tripp apologizes but says his brother Joey was in an accident.

Stephanie tells Marlena that she knew she was back but it’s wonderful to see her as they hug. Stephanie asks how she’s feeling. Marlena says she’s fine and her family is taking very good care of her. Stephanie wasn’t expecting Chad to be there. Chad explains that he wanted to see a miracle with his own eyes and Marlena was kind enough to tell him what happened to Kate. Marlena repeats that she’s so sorry and asks Stephanie if there’s any news about Kayla. Stephanie says not yet, but that’s why she’s here because she was hoping Marlena might be able to help them find her. Marlena asks how she can help. Stephanie explains that Kayla called her but there was a lot of static and she could only make out that she was in Greece. Stephanie adds that Tripp thinks maybe her subconscious mind heard more, so maybe if Marlena hypnotizes her, she might remember. Stephanie knows the chances are slim but she will try anything that might help her mom. Marlena says she will too.

Hope and Harris get their dinner. They talk about this being a dead end with Thomas Banks. Harris suggests they finish their meal and then get back to the search. Harris jokes that Konstantin hopes for Hope to have an encore of smashing plates from their first night together. Harris recalls seeing Hope the same way everyone else did, as the beautiful American that everyone fell in love with.

Bo drags Steve back out to the main room of the Greece police station and asks the cop about the prisms. The cop hands over a bag with all three prisms and asks about Steve, thinking he was his colleague. Bo claims that Steve just told him that to get access to the prisms but he’s a con artist. Steve starts to regain consciousness. Bo claims that Steve came after him so he had to bash him in the head. Bo says he has to get him to a secure facility as Steve tries to say not to listen to him. Bo then drags Steve out of the room.

Wendy asks Tripp if Joey is going to be okay. Tripp says he has a broken leg but he should be just fine. Wendy asks if Joey is in surgery now. Tripp says that’s why he’s leaving now, to be there when he wakes up. Tripp tells Wendy that he’s really sorry that he’s going to miss their dinner. Wendy tells him not to worry as his brother needs him. Tripp thanks her for understanding. Tripp doesn’t know exactly when he’ll be back, but asks for a rain check on dinner. Wendy tells him to count on it and to tell Joey that she hopes he gets better soon. Tripp says he will see her soon and kisses her goodbye as he then exits.

Marlena begins to hypnotize Stephanie. Stephanie remembers talking to Kayla on the phone but there’s too much static. Marlena encourages Stephanie to block out all the static until all she hears is Kayla’s voice. Stephanie remembers that Kayla told her a name of who took her. Chad asks who it is. Marlena asks if she still hears the sound of her mother’s voice but she doesn’t so Marlena brings her out of the hypnosis. Marlena asks how she feels. Stephanie says she’s fine and asks if it worked. Chad worries that he messed it up by asking who’s name Stephanie heard and thinks he threw it off. Stephanie confirms that she did hear Kayla say a name. Chad asks if it was Thomas Banks, but Stephanie reveals that she’s pretty sure it was Victor Kiriakis.

Kayla continues reading Victor’s letter to Caroline, saying he knows it may be impossible but he hoped she would consider it. Bo returns and says he got the prisms she needed and another present. Bo then drags Steve in to the wine cellar which shocks Kayla. Bo tells her to stay back and that maybe Steve will live.

Harris and Hope enjoy their dinner and people in the restaurant begin dancing. Harris recalls Hope dancing on a table the last time. One of the men invite Hope to join them. Hope tries to decline but gives in and dances with them. Hope then joins in their tradition of smashing plates. Hope declares she’s not dancing alone and brings Harris into it as well. Hope and Harris hug in the center and end up kissing.

Bo tells Steve and Kayla to behave themselves and leaves them locked up in the wine cellar. Kayla then rushes to wake Steve up as they are reunited.

I’m sorry, C can you repeat that? I didn’t hear you. Is, is it your mom? What is she saying?

Oh no, wait. How did this happen? I don’t understand.

Could be so important that Victor would keep all

a letter to my mother. My name is Steve Johnson. I’m working with the isa. I need to see any evidence you have from the raid on Will Helm, Rolf’s hotel room. I’m afraid your colleague has already made that request. My colleague? Yes. He arrived a few minutes before you did. Is he still here? Yes. Derek Donovan is waiting on that room.

Shane. Donovan is here. Why don’t you go and join him and, uh, we’ll go see what’s taking so long.

Shane.

Oh,

How can this be

your You’re alive. That I am.

How is this possible? How are you

and what are you doing here in Chris posing as Shane Dono?

Let’s see if we can get these people to talk to us about Thomas Banks. I want to.

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

Thank you so much for calling. Yes, I will be there as soon as I can. Was that about Kayla? Was she all right? No, I mean, that call wasn’t about, my mom seemed urgent. Who was it? A hospital in Seattle. She’s been in an accident.

I’ve sent this back to Victor without even opening it.

Victor kept it all these years. Why?

Oh, miracle. Thank you.

Oh,

My dear is Caroline, I have just returned to Greece. It was terribly painful to leave you behind in Salem, but I knew it would be the best after what happened between us.

What’s going on? How are you alive, bitches? What are you doing here? It’s a long story. Well, that’s a story This dude would like to hear

C that cop out there. He told me that you said you were Shane Donovan, and you were trying to get all the evidence that was collected from Dr. Rolf’s hotel room. Now why would you say that

I’m working undercover for the isa? What? I can’t go into detail. I just have to get some evidence and get the hell outta here. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on. Are you in some kind of trouble? No, I’m not. I’m working the case and the clock is ticking. I just gotta go. No, not until we talk. I can’t talk. This is a highly sensitive operation.

It’s true. So I don’t have your operation. Listen to me. Kayla is missing some. Psycho has her. That’s why I’m here in Greece. I’m trying to track down Thomas Banks. Why banks? Hope, and I have reason to believe that he’s the one who took Kayla

Hope is here in Greece. We gotta call her and tell her you’re alive. You’re not calling anyone,

sir. We mean no harm. I know you don’t, but this one is a different story. Sir, my name is Constantine. I own You were in here a couple of years ago. Yes. I’m surprise you. Remember I never forget the face. And imagine my surprise when I saw yours again sometime later. And where was this? In the newspaper. We get a lot of tourists in here, always leaving their international papers behind.

I saw your picture on the front page. You been arrested for committing many terrible crimes. Including trying to kill you at your wedding. If I recall correctly, uh, Harris was in, how did you get outta prison, sir? You just, you must have escaped and now you are a wanted man wanted by the police. I, I can assure quiet is he holding you against your will.

Sir, of course you cannot say you are too scared. It is. All right. You are safe now and we’ll make sure he never hurts anyone again.

Joey’s been in an accident. Is he okay? He’s fine, thank God. But they said he is pretty banged up. He cracked a few ribs and he broke a leg in two places. He’s in surgery right now to have it repaired. Oh man, that’s, that’s tough. And. He’s gonna be all alone, so I, I gotta get to Seattle. Stay. He’s gonna need help getting around.

No, I know, but Dad’s in Greece looking for mom, so obviously neither of them can get there quickly. Someone has to, someone has to go right away. I will. I, I’ll go to Seattle. What? No, you don’t have to do that. No, I, I want to. Okay. Joey’s my brother too, and I do have some medical expertise and a job here.

Same as you. I can work from anywhere. Steph, you haven’t slept since you talked to your mom. Okay. You need to go see Marlena and figure out if Kayla left you any clue of where she might be. I just don’t want Joey to think that he, he won’t trust me. He wants you to focus on finding your mom and getting her back home.

Hey, look, I, I, I’ll book my flight right now. He, I’ll be in Seattle before he even wakes up.

Thank you. Trip. I really appreciate this. Of course. Oh wait, what about your big date? So when you and Kayla were in the lap, Kate was, Megan was holding all three of us

and now you’re home. Kayla’s missing and Kate’s, uh,

I’m so sorry, Chad. You can’t stop thinking about her. You, I’m trying to put all these bizarre pieces together. You know, I mean, at, at first we thought that Kay was dead and then it turns out that she’s actually alive on some island. And, uh, now,

What did Megan want? What did she do?

I, I, I know you don’t want to relive this nightmare. It’s just that Tate was like a mother to me, and knowing she had a second chance and my own sister took it away from her.

With Abigail, it was a shock. You know, losing her the way that we did, having the answers and, and knowing what happened, it didn’t take away the pain, but, uh,

um, it made it a little easier. I understand. I wish I could tell you something more. In fact, as we were, we were sedated most of the time. There actually was only one day that the three of us were, were conscious together. How was Kate? Was she all right? She was all right. She kept going after Megan, demanding to know what Megan planned to do with us.

What did Megan tell you? Not much, unfortunately.

And then she put us under again. When Kayla and I woke up, Kate wasn’t there. We tried to escape. And, and, and find her. But Ralph, stop this. Did he tell you where Kate was? She was with Megan. Apparently Kate was going to be the first test subject of Ralph’s new serum, five new. I don’t know. He just said it was going to be life changing.

How or what? I don’t know. So Megan made Kate her own personal Guinea pig. Yeah. Megan came back into the lab at one point and said that Kate had refused to cooperate, so she was going to be taking a different path.

So Kayla and I were left in the, in the lab for a while,

and then a few minutes, and then a few minutes later

we heard a gunshot. Very shot.

Uh, she said she didn’t pull the trigger, so I imagine it was her henchman, the one that had. Taking Kayla off the island. Thomas Banks, I hadn’t ever considered him. Did his name come up? Stephanie was talking to Steve yesterday and Megan is claiming that Thomas Banks is the one that took Kayla.

Sir Constantine, there’s been a misunderstanding. If you would allow me to explain, I’d be happy to. Fine. I know they read. It is not fake news, but it is old news and if you let me show you, you’ll see Commander Harris Michaels cleared of all charges. Yes. That was a few days ago. You see Harris was found innocent on all charges.

Is this true? Yeah. Look, I feel terrible about what happened to all the people I heard, but yes, it’s true. My apologi. Now you had every right to be concerned. I’m, I’m glad you were looking out for Hope. Hope Reading Forer. Thank you so much for looking out for me. And I promise you this guy here is not a danger to anyone.

In fact, he is helping me. We’re working together to find my sister-in-law who is kidnapped. Um,

her name is Kayla Johnson. Have you seen her?

As much as I wanted to stay in Salem, I could not. It had become too much of a risk. My feelings for you longing, my, my desire. It had grown so strong. I feared that simply by looking at you. I give myself away. Give away what’s in my heart.

And each day the temptation grew stronger to throw caution to the wind and tell the world just how very much I love you. That made me dangerous, Caroline. I was a ticking bomb that could go off at any moment and destroy your life, but I could never hurt your family. Not Sean or your beautiful children, not Roman or Kimberly or Little Kayla

Bo. What the hell are you doing? We need to call Hope and we need to find Thomas Banks. No, you don’t. Didn’t you hear what I said? He’s the one who took Kayla. Yeah, I heard. But no, he didn’t take her. I did. What are you talking about? I don’t have time to explain. What do you mean you can’t explain? What do you mean you took Kayla?

Where is she? Answer me. Is she all right? Of course she, you think I’d hurt my own sister? No, but I don’t understand why you took her off Megan’s Island without telling. John and I were there searching for her. I don’t know how we missed you. What difference does it make? What’s done? What’s done? What difference does it make?

Kayla’s my wife, you had to know how worried everybody would be. You couldn’t let someone know she was okay and then you were alive for God’s sake. I told you, I know you told me you were working undercover, but you couldn’t find a way to make contact. If, if not with me, at least with hope, okay? I don’t have time for this.

No, listen, well listen to me. Whatever’s going on, you can talk to me. You can trust me ina. I gotta get this evidence now. Move. No.

Get the hell off of me.

No, I have not seen this woman. You’re sure? I’m sorry. No. All right. What about this character? Oh, yes. Here. May have seen that is a face I wish I could forget. So he was standing here. He asked a few years ago when you were here Commander, but I have not seen him since. Well, thank you. Anyway, we should head back to the hotel, see if Steve Penny, you’d like the police station.

Wait, wait, wait. If I could not give you any information, at least let me provide you with a nice meal. Hmm.

Okay. As much as I’d hate to can on Wendy, Joan needs me and, and Wendy has a brother. She’s close to She’ll, totally underst. Okay, well if you’re sure. Put my flight. Alright. You should go see Marlena, right? You’ll call me when you get there. Gimme an update. Absolutely. Thanks Trev, you’re the best. Tell Joey I.

And that he better get well soon, or his big sister’s gonna kick his butt. Will do. Good luck. I hope you remember something that helps Dad find Kayla.

I could never hurt your family, Caroline. But I must confess that I’ve dreamed many times that you and I have a child together. Sometimes it’s a son and sometimes it’s a daughter. How I hate waking up from those dreams. I know it can never be that we can’t be married and have a family. I’ve so often seen in my dreams, but I wonder if we might have something else that’s just our own.

If perhaps you could come here to Greece. There’s a little house in the hills where I grew up, a secluded little villa where the two of us, just you and I could be together.

Do you think that Thomas Banks is the one that took Kayla? It’s possible. I mean, he. Worked for Megan before. Did you see him in the lab? No. No. The only people that I saw were Megan and Ralph.

Wait, what is it? There was someone else there.

Get the hell off of me. Whatcha gonna do? You gonna cut me? I don’t think. And we may not have seen each other for almost a decade, but I am still your best friend in the whole world. No, that’s right. You remember that, don’t you? There was a time we hated each other and I took bad eye. Do you remember that?

How could I forget? Yeah. Now please put the knife down. And let’s talk. You’ve done enough talking. Now let go made before someone gets hurt. Listen to me, Paul. I don’t know what’s going on with you. I don’t know what you’ve been through, but the things you’re saying, the way you’re acting, It’s not you. Oh, Brady would never hurt me.

You sure about that? Damn right. I am.

Hey, I took, why? How about I take the other? You can’t. Oh, yeah. Watch me.

I knew you couldn’t do it.

Okay. Hey, man, I don’t know what’s happened to you. But you can’t change 40 years of history. You will always be my closest friend in the world. Oh, do me a favor friend, and shut the hell up. Oh,

so there was a fourth tube in the lab. There was Kayla and I kept pressuring Ralph to tell us who was in it, but. Well, as he was about to tell us, Megan walked in. So he didn’t give you a name? No, but I don’t think that it could have been banks. I mean, how could he be gallad all over the globe causing problems and, and still be frozen?

Frozen banks? Who do you think it was? I’m not sure we’re ever going to know.

Um, uh, thank you for telling me what happened. Of course. I’m sorry I couldn’t be of some comfort to you. No, you were, I’m glad to know that you and Kayla were with Kate in our last days. Unless you wanna fight,

I should go.

I’m so glad you came by

and if you have any more questions, please just call me. I appreciate that.

I am an ambitious man, as you well know, but I’ve come to learn that nothing is more precious than time. The people you love. I want time with you, Caroline. I want that so badly and we can have it here in our own private paradise. Oh gosh. I could send you a plane ticket tickets, continue. A plane ticket, and you could, you could tell Sean that you’re visiting a relative, perhaps a sick aunt in Ireland.

Ugh.

It would allow you to steal away even if it’s only for a little while. For a little while. You could be.

You could be my wife,

Constantine, that is very kind of you. And normally I would absolutely say yes, but we have a lot of work to do. Yeah, we have a big search ahead of us. Oh, be more reason to keep up your strength. Besides, I cannot let my best customer leave without taking. Would care of her. Me? Are you talking about me? As I said, I never forget the face.

And I remember you being in here as well, who a year or so ago that was, uh, the first night we met, the two of you were sold. You look so happy together. You were practically glowing while you laughed and talked and ate, danced on tables. I never, I never danced the table special. A lot of plates that you did do?

Yes. All right. That I idea. I did. I remember I special a lot of plates. True. Yes, you did. It was a celebration of joy, of life, of love, and all the people that would hear, they couldn’t have enough of the beautiful American. They all fell in love with this woman. Please sit, sit, please,

and allow me to recreate the magic of that night.

Yeah, at two 30 to Seattle.

Great. Thanks. You’re going to Seattle this afternoon. Oh, I saw that we were having dinner. Yeah, I know, and I’m, I’m really sorry about this, but my brother Joey, he, uh, he’s been in an accident.

I knew you were back, but Oh my God. It’s so wonderful to see. So good to see you, drew. How are you feeling? I’m, I’m fine. Uh, my family’s taking very good care of me. I’m sure they have been. I wasn’t expecting you to be here. Well, I, I wanted to see a miracle with my own two eyes, and Marlan was kind enough to tell me what happened.

I’m so sorry.

Uh, is there any news about your mother? Not yet. That’s why I’m here. Actually. I was hoping that you might be able to help us find Finder. How can I help? She called me yesterday and what did she. The connection was very bad. There was tons of static, so I could barely hear her, but to sure. It was your mother, definitely.

We were on for a few minutes, but all I could make out was that she’s somewhere in Greece, which is where my dad is now. Did she say exactly where? If she did, I couldn’t hear it, but Tripp thinks that maybe my subconscious mind might have, and that if you hypnotize me, I might be able to remember. I know the chances are slim, but I will try anything that might help my mom and so will I.

Wow. He really went all out. Yeah. You can always stay here. Yeah. But we already know that this is a dead end when it comes to Thomas Banks. Okay. So let’s eat and then get back to the search for care. Okay. You know, Constantine copying this meal had nothing to do with him. Feeling bad about threatening me with a bad, or not being able to help us find Kayla.

I think he’s hoping for an encore performance. Really but of me breaking more plates, I sincerely don’t. You can, you can deny it all you want hope, but I was here that night. And to my purpose, my purpose was to find prisms. I was programmed to find those prisms, but I saw the same thing Constantine did.

Beautiful American who made every person in this place fall madly in love with her.

Have you retrieved those prisms yet? Well, I don’t suppose they say it’s prepared to offer me a reward. Huh? For my trouble. Are you asking for a payoff? Of course not. Director Donovan. I have all three prisons right here. Well done.

What’s with him? I thought he was your colleague. Ah, he just told you that to get access to these prisms, he’s a con artist. It’s not who he claims to be. It’s not me.

Sorry. It was ah. Battering rather violent. Two came out me. I had to bash him in the head. Poor fella. The sooner I get him to a secure facility, the better. Cheers. Don’t.

Is Joey gonna be okay? Yeah. Yeah. His leg is pretty badly broken apparently, but yes, from what they told us, he should be just fine. Oh, thank God. So what, he’s in surgery now or? Yeah, that’s why I’m leaving for Seattle right away. I wanna be there when he wakes up. I’m just really sorry that I’m gonna miss our dinner trip.

Please don’t worry about it. I am brother needs you. Thank you for understanding. Of course. And look, I don’t know exactly when I’ll be back, but, uh, is there any chance I can get a rain check on dinner? Count on it, and hey, please tell Joey that I hope you get well soon, okay? Will do. See you.

Stephanie, now that you’re completely relaxed, I wanna take you back to yesterday, a Newton in the square was Chad. Did you get a phone call? Yes. And who was it?

Mom?

It was my mother. What did she say?

I know it’s shock honey, but it’s true. I’m, I’m alive. She said that it was really her. She was alive. And then what?

What did you say, mom? The connection’s getting really wonky. Mom, I’m sorry. The connection’s really bad. I can only hear every third word or whatever. There’s lots of static. Tell me where you are. Okay. Greece. I’m in Greece. Greece? Yeah. Yeah. Greece. Where in Greece? What’s the name of the city? There’s so much static.

I, I can’t hear what she’s saying. Okay. That’s all right. I, I want you to try to black blackout all the. Until you only hear the sound of your mother’s voice.

You said Megan Henchman was who? Where are you in Greece. What’s the name of the town? She said a name. I heard a name. Who’s up?

Stephanie, can you still hear the sound of your mother’s?

All right. It’s okay. I’m gonna bring you out of it. Wanna count to three? Just open your eyes. 1, 2, 3.

How do you feel? I’m. Did it work? Sorry, I think I messed it up. What do you mean? You were under, um, recalling your conversation with your mom? You said you heard a name and I I jumped on it. I said, who was it? I think I, I threw it off. I did hear her say a name. Was it Thomas Banks? No, I’m pretty sure it was.

Victor, Kiki.

Caroline, my darling. I know what I’m asking may be impossible, but I hope you will consider it.

Please know that whatever you decide, I am forever your. Victor.

Oh, hello. You’re back. Yes, with the prisms you needed. Pen. Another thing, a little present.

Stay back. He’ll live maybe.

Hmm. This is the best lamb I’ve ever had. This puts my seafood dish to shame, that’s for sure.

Oh, you’re feeling it. You feeling it? I’m feeling what? I think you know. Oh my gosh. Paris Michaels for the last time, I have never, ever danced on a table. Not ever. Hey, I know, I know. But you look so happy that night. You look free and relaxed. It’s not hard to imagine you getting up there again. Time again, house.

What is happening right now? Well, I think they want you to join me. I can see that. But thank you so much. But we’re eating and drinking. I don’t think he’s gonna take no for an answer. All that please. Woo.

Okay, come on. You know what? Screw me. This

one more.

Oh.

You kids behave yourself.

Can you hear me? Steve? Steve, can you hear me? Yeah. Can you hear me? Can you, can you.

Days of Our Lives Update

Days of Our Lives logo

Update written by Joseph

Alex joins Maggie at the Titan office. She notes his black eye has healed while Alex says his bruised ego has as well and he always gets back up. Maggie asks if he’s ready for the board meeting. Alex says he actually wants to sit out on this one if that’s okay. Maggie asks if he has something more important to do. Alex knows she’s had her doubts about him but he promises to prove to her that she made the right decision in keeping him in his position, by closing a huge deal for Titan. Maggie asks what huge deal but Alex says it’s a surprise. Maggie doesn’t like surprises but Alex promises she will love this one.

Tripp goes home and lays on the couch but then Stephanie shows up and says she’s been trying to get ahold of him. Tripp asks if there’s news about Steve and if he found Megan Hathaway. Stephanie confirms that he did, but there’s more. Stephanie reveals that Kayla is alive.

Hope and Harris go to a hotel in Greece. Harris carries her bags and tells her that his room will be right down the hall. Hope thanks him for coming with her. Harris says it’s the least he could do as he knows how important Kayla is to her. Hope says she’s family since she was married to Kayla’s brother, Bo. Harris mentions passing a wedding in the plaza. Hope acknowledges that Greece can be romantic. Harris suggests after they find Kayla, maybe they can hang out for awhile and appreciate the beauty. They agree that they would like that. Harris says he will let her unpack and goes to leave, but stops.

Andrew Donovan goes to the police station and greets Shawn. Shawn says he hasn’t seen him in forever while Andrew jokes about missing the last family reunions. Shawn mentions needing to get everyone together again. Andrew informs him that it looks like his mom is trying to do that now as Hope is in Greece, trying to find Kayla.

Kayla tries to escape the cabin in Greece but Bo appears at the door and asks if she’s going somewhere.

Harris and Hope almost kiss but are interrupted by Steve arriving at the door. Steve tells them that he thinks he’s got a lead on the son of a bitch who took Kayla

Kayla claims to Bo that she was just going out to get fresh air. Bo tells her to let him know and he’ll crack a window. Bo hopes she wasn’t planning to leave, warning that the path is treacherous. Bo tells her that he has dinner but Kayla says she’s not hungry. Bo encourages her to eat because it’s a big night. Bo asks if she’s made any progress on the formula for the serum from the orchid. Kayla responds that she’s working on it. Bo mentions that Dr. Rolf said the formula would reverse aging so it would be worth a fortune that would dwarf Victor’s. Kayla asks if Bo’s goal is just to be richer than Victor. Bo says he just wants to build an empire of his own and getting a back a few years he lost would be a benefit.

Shawn thanks Andrew for the update on the search for Kayla but says he knows he’s here on ISA business. Andrew confirms he’s here to transfer his prisoner. Shawn hopes they lock Megan up for the rest of her miserable life. Shawn and Andrew then head in to the interrogation room where Megan awaits. Megan tells Shawn that she would know his face anywhere and that he reminds her so much of his father.

Tripp is shocked and questions how Stephanie knows Kayla is alive. Stephanie confirms that she talked to her on the phone and heard her voice. Tripp hugs her and calls it unbelievable. Tripp says Steve must be going out of his mind. Stephanie says he’ll be a lot better once he finds her. Tripp doesn’t understand and asks where she is. Stephanie says they don’t know as the connection on the call was horrible, so all they know is that Kayla’s been abducted somewhere in Greece. Tripp asks if Steve is there now. Stephanie confirms that he and Hope just arrived. Stephanie adds that Kayla sounded so scared, so she hopes they get there in time. Tripp encourages that he will and that Kayla has survived this long. Stephanie talks about being unable to sleep since the call and knowing that she’s been alive after all these months. Stephanie wonders if she missed a clue to what Kayla was trying to tell her and wishes she could hear the call over again. Tripp suggests maybe she can.

Harris asks if Steve got a location on Thomas Banks but Steve reveals that Dr. Rolf has been spotted in the area. Harris asks how Steve knows that Rolf is here. Steve says his face is all over the news feeds as he’s an international fugitive, so someone called in a tip while he was ordering takeout but he was able to give the local cops the slip and they believe that he made it off the island. Harris says they were so close. Steve notes that Dr. Rolf was apparently in a hurry and left all his stuff at the hotel, so he’s going to the police station to see if they found anything that can lead them to Thomas Banks and Kayla.

Bo asks Kayla how soon the serum will be ready. Kayla responds that after reviewing Dr. Rolf’s notes, she’s pretty sure there is no chance that she will make that serum for him.

Andrew informs Megan that she is now in the custody of the Salem police department, who will hold her until she is transferred to Statesville prison. Megan continues talking about how Shawn reminds her of his father and remarks that it’s as if she actually succeeded in turning back the clock and made Bo young again. Shawn questions what that is supposed to mean.

Bo asks Kayla what the problem is since she has Dr. Rolf’s notes and he made several batches of the serum. Bo tells her to just follow the directions. Kayla argues that it’s complicated, they’re not in a lab, and the notes are incomplete. Bo asks what she means. Kayla says it’s clear that Dr. Rolf was taking instructions from what was on the three prisms that Megan got last summer. Kayla says she can’t decipher the short hand. Bo questions what she is saying. Kayla declares that without the prisms, there’s no serum. Bo thinks he knows where they might be.

Alex calls the police department in Greece and says he’s ready to move over the funds if he has his items. The officer confirms he does and tells Alex to just wire the money and the prisms are his.

Tripp suggests Stephanie try hypnosis and tells her about how it worked for Allie before. Tripp says Stephanie may have been in shock but her brain may have remembered more than she thinks. Stephanie worries that Marlena just got home but Tripp assures that Marlena would want nothing more than to help find Kayla. Stephanie agrees that she has to try and hopes she remembers something that will bring Kayla home.

Bo tells Kayla that when they left the island, he was going to go get the prisms but they weren’t where he thought they would be. Kayla repeats no prisms, no serum, so there is no reason for him to keep her here. Bo says he might know where they are at as it’s possible that Dr. Rolf left them behind.

Alex prepares his wire transfer to the Greek police. Maggie returns to the office. Alex asks how the board meeting was. Maggie says she was distracted the whole time because she was worried about Alex and his big surprise he has planned. Alex informs her that while she was at the meeting, he cemented the deal, so he’s happy to share. Alex brings up Dr. Rolf. Maggie says he’s currently a fugitive and questions what he has to do with Alex’s deal. Alex reveals that Dr. Rolf was hiding out in Greece but he got away, though he possessed three prisms that are powerful artifacts that Li Shin failed to acquire for DiMera last summer. Maggie mentions hearing of these prisms. Alex talks about how there are reports that the prisms can cure diseases and possibly even reverse aging. Alex asks what if he told her that he was about to secure all of the prisms for Titan.

Shawn questions what Megan meant when she said make Bo young again when she knows he’s been dead for years. Megan claims that she was just saying seeing his face was like traveling back through time. Megan states that she and Bo had a very intense love affair until he settled for Hope. Shawn warns her to keep his parents names out of her mouth as he’s done listening to this nonsense. Shawn argues that she’s hurt his family enough. Megan doesn’t think Hope is suffering that much and says she’s moved on from them and from Bo as well with Harris Michaels. Megan informs Shawn that Harris and Hope are together for real now. Shawn repeats that he’s had enough. Megan mocks him that it’s tough when his mom moves on with a new dad. Shawn warns her to shut her mouth.

Hope and Steve talk about finding Kayla. Steve knows it’s a longshot and maybe implausible to think Dr. Rolf left a clue behind. Steve knows the connection is thin but it’s the only one that they have to Thomas Banks, but Harris says maybe not.

Tripp makes breakfast for Stephanie. Stephanie says she’s not hungry but Tripp encourages her to keep up her strength so that she can help Kayla. Tripp offers to cancel his plans for later so he can make sure she can get in to see Marlena. Stephanie asks if Tripp’s plans are with Wendy. Tripp asks who told her that. Stephanie knows Tripp and Joey were competing for Wendy’s attention in Hong Kong and that Joey backed off, then tried to play matchmaker. Stephanie says that Joey just wants him to be happy and she does too. Stephanie asks if Tripp likes Wendy. Tripp confirms that he does but the problem is that she’s been hanging out with Johnny. Stephanie points out that Wendy is going to dinner with Tripp, so maybe she’s just as interested in him.

Harris reminds Hope of the restaurant where they first met. Harris notes that Megan had him staying in a room upstairs and there was another one of her employees looking for the prisms, Thomas Banks.

Maggie tells Alex that she’s heard rumors of these prisms for years but it sounds like science fiction to her. Alex knows that it’s far fetched but says for the price he’s paying, the risk is worth the reward. Maggie says she will be the judge of that. Maggie asks for the details and who his contact is on this transaction. Alex explains that when he found out Dr. Rolf was in Greece, he reached out to Victor’s people and they put him in touch with the police there and it turned out that when Dr. Rolf evaded capture, he left the prisms in his hotel room. Maggie questions them agreeing to sell the prisms to Alex. Alex confirms that one of the cops did. Alex adds that they are just sitting in an evidence locker and the cops have no idea what they have, so he convinced one of them to sell them to him for a relatively small sum. Alex calls it pretty amazing but Maggie calls it amazingly stupid.

Harris and Hope plan to go show Thomas Banks’ picture around while Steve decides to go see what Dr. Rolf left behind. Hope hopes that one of their longshots pans out.

Bo warns Kayla that he doesn’t have all night and has to get going. Kayla brings up their childhood which gets Bo arguing, but then he tells her it was a nice try to walk him down memory lane to get him to be the old Bo, but he likes who he is. Kayla asks what he’s going to do and if he’s just going to just walk in to a random Greek police station and ask for the prisms. Bo says he’s just going to get her what she needs to decipher Dr. Rolf’s notes and then she will get him what he needs. Kayla questions Bo leaving her in a wine cellar. Bo tells her to try to relax as he then leaves her locked up.

Stephanie asks Tripp about declaring his feelings for Wendy. Stephanie tells him that tonight’s dinner is his once chance to convince her to be with him instead of Johnny. Tripp worries about pressuring her. Stephanie doesn’t think being clear about your intentions is ever a bad thing. Tripp asks if he’s not doing what Alex did to her. Stephanie says that Alex tried to manipulate and control her because that’s who he is. Stephanie adds that unlike Tripp, Alex will do whatever it takes to get what he wants no matter what it costs.

Maggie questions Alex using Titan money to pay off a police officer but Alex argues that it’s not a payoff. Maggie asks if it’s a bribe then. Alex says this is how these people do business and Victor has relationships with them. Maggie questions him not talking to Victor about this. Alex says he wouldn’t go behind her back again because he’s going to prove to her that she can trust him. Maggie accuses him of using Victor’s name and Titan’s money to bribe a government official. Maggie remarks that Alex is now giving a black eye to the company and the family.

Andrew tells Shawn that he knows this is intense and asks if he needs to take a break but Shawn assures that he’s good. Megan comments on Shawn having the same temper as Bo. Shawn declares that he’s done talking about his father as her relationship with him is ancient history. Shawn brings up that Megan’s deal requires her to cooperate fully. Megan says she told Steve that Thomas Banks took Kayla and claims that’s all she knows. Megan adds that he can ask any questions he’d like but it will be a waste of time. Shawn says he will decide that. Megan responds that she is exercising her right to counsel because she wants to make sure this transfer goes off without a hitch. Megan asks for a phone to call her lawyer.

Harris and Hope go to the restaurant where they met. Harris recalls when he first saw her and says no photo could capture the spark in her eye as they then kiss. Hope says they shouldn’t draw attention to themselves while Harris says this is them blending in as a couple caught up in the romance of Greece, so they continue kissing.

Kayla complains about her own brother locking her in a wine cellar to create a youth serum. Kayla then finds a lockbox on one of the shelves of wines.

Bo goes to the police station in Greece and impersonates Shane Donovan. Bo says he’s here about evidence collected from Dr. Rolf’s room and a set of prisms that are extremely powerful and could be dangerous if they fall in to the wrong hands. The cops asks if he has any paperwork of his claim. Bo then questions if he’s saying there’s a problem with a request from the director of the ISA.

Maggie hopes Alex didn’t send anything to this corrupt cop in Greece. Alex states that he was about to when Maggie walked in. Maggie argues that he was doing something so irresponsible. Alex argues that acquiring these prisms for Titan is a once in a lifetime opportunity that could change the landscape of science and medicine while also humiliating DiMera Enterprises. Maggie doubts the scientific claims but says it’s still bribery and smuggling. Maggie vetoes Alex’s surprise and orders him to call the dirty cop back to tell him the deal is off. Maggie warns that she will deal with him later and asks if he understands. Alex reluctantly says that he does as Maggie exits the office.

Bo tells the cop that he needs the prisms now as it’s a matter of international security. The cop then gets a call from Alex. He tells Alex that there is a man from the ISA asking about the prisms. Alex begrudgingly tells the cop to go ahead and hand them over because the deal is off and then hangs up. Bo threatens to go over the cop’s head but the cop apologizes for the delay and directs him to wait in a room while he goes to retrieve the prisms for him. After Bo leaves, Steve arrives and tells the cop that he hopes he can help him.

Kayla searches for something open the lockbox she found. She finds a bottle opener and gets the box open.

Tripp offers to go with Stephanie to see Marlena and cancel his plans with Wendy. Stephanie tells him not to do that and thanks him for the offer but assures she’ll be okay. Stephanie adds that if anything happens or she hears from Steve, she’ll let him know. Tripp wishes her luck. Stephanie tells him the same and that Wendy would be very lucky to end up with a guy like him. Tripp thanks her for saying that. Stephanie gets a call and answers, hoping it’s Kayla.

After leaving the interrogation room, Shawn tells Andrew that he’s sorry for not keeping his cool with Megan. Andrew thinks he did fine, given the circumstances. They talk about wishing they could listen to clients and lawyers as it would make things easier. Shawn hopes Megan plays this straight but worries she could use it as another opportunity to go after Hope.

Megan uses her phone call to call Thomas Banks and give him a heads up that a lot of people are looking for him. Megan adds that he can return the favor by doing one little thing for her. Megan instructs Thomas to find Bo Brady and shoot anyone who gets in his way.

Hope asks Harris if he’s ready to do what they came for. Harris confirms that he is and pulls out a photo of Thomas Banks, wondering who they should talk to first. Hope tells him to follow her lead.

Steve introduces himself to the cop and says he’s working with the ISA and needs to see the evidence found in Dr. Rolf’s room. The cop responds that he’s afraid his colleague already made that request as he arrived a few minutes before him. Steve asks if he’s still there. The cop informs him that “Mr. Donovan” is in the other room. Steve questions Shane being there. The cop suggests Steve join him while they check to see what’s taking so long on their end. Steve goes to the room looking for Shane, but is shocked to find Bo instead.
