THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Good morning, auntie Mac, Alex. Oh, looks like your black eye is healed. Yes, it has. And so has my bruised ego. But you know me, I get knocked down. Pop right back up. Well, I’m glad to hear it. So are you ready for the board meeting? Actually, I think I might sit out on this one if that’s okay with you. You have something more important to do.

Look, auntie, I know you’ve had your doubts about me, especially after I tried to undermine you with Uncle Vic, but I promised you, I’m gonna convince you that you made the right choice by letting me keep my position here at Titan. Oh, and how is that? By closing a huge deal for Titan. Hmm. What? Huge deal.

It’s a surprise. I don’t like surprises, especially when it comes to business. Well, I promise you, auntie, you are going to love.

Thank God you’re here. I’ve been trying to reach you all night. I’m sorry. I just got off an overnight shift to the hospital. I forgot to charge my phone. What is it? News about dad? Did he find Megan Hathaway? He did, but there’s more. My mom. She’s alive.

You didn’t have to carry my bag. What? Uh, I wanted to carry your bag and my room’s just right down the hall. Okay. I know. Thanks for coming with me. That’s the least I can do. I know how important Kayla is to you. Yes, she is. She’s family. I was married to her brother Bo. Yeah. Yeah, it was, it was quite the wedding we passed in the plaza.

Huh? It was, you know, Greece can be romantic if you’re not on mission. Well, maybe after we find Kayla, um, uh, maybe we can hang out for a little while and appreciate the beauty

I’d.

Well, uh, I’ll let you unpack. Great.

Detective Brady. Oh, Andrew. Whoa. I haven’t seen you in forever. It’s been a minute, cousin. Yeah, I guess I missed the last few family reunions. Hey, we all have, hopefully we can get everyone together soon. Oh, sounds like your mother’s trying to make that happen right now. What do you mean as we speak? Hope is in Greece.

Trying to find out. Kayla,

sorry to run out on your phone. Oh, I gotta go back to people I love. I haven’t gone crazy

going somewhere.

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

Hey Steve. What’s going on? I think I got a lead on. The son of a bishop took Kayla.

Hi. I was just going out to get some pressure. You need air. Let me. I’ll crack a window for you. Hmm. Thank you. It’s very kind of you. You know, I hope you weren’t planning to leave. That path is really treacherous. Yeah. So you said you hungry? I got dinner here. No, no. You should eat big night. What a birthday celebration for a goat.

I’m so happy you still have your sense of humor. Well, it’s pretty much all I have left. Have you made any progress on the formula for the serum from the orchid? I’m working on it. Good. Cuz Rolf was sure it would restore a person’s youth, so that means that formula would be worth a fortune that would dwarf my father’s.

Is that your goal bow to be richer than Victor? No. I just wanna build an empire of my own. If I could get back a few of those years I lost, that would be a benefit. Thank you for the update on the search for Hank Kayla, but I know you’re here in Salem on uh, ISA business. Yes. I am here to transfer my prisoner to your custody, pending her incarceration, Statesville.

Lucky you. Yeah. Well, let’s just hope that they lock her up for the rest of her miserable life. Shall we?

Hello there. Can I get Hathaway? This is Detective Brady. Sean Douglas Brady. You did your research. I didn’t have to. I would know that face anywhere. You remind me. So much of your father,

Kayla is alive. I h How do you know? I spoke to her. On the phone. I heard her voice trip. This is unbelievable. Oh, I’m so happy for you. Thanks. My dad must be going out of his mind. He’ll be a lot better once he finds her. I don’t, I don’t understand. Where is she? We’re not sure. The connection on the call was horrible.

She tried to tell me where she was, but all I know is that she’s been abducted and she’s somewhere in Greece. Greece. Okay. Okay. Is that there now? He and Hope just arrived. She sounded so scared. I just, I hope that he finds her in time. He will. Okay. He will. He always does. All right. Your mom survived this long.

She’s not gonna give up now. Okay. I mean, she found a way to call you. Right? I haven’t slept since that call. I just, I keep going over it and over it again in my head. I, it just happened so fast. Hey, you must have been in shock. Yeah. It was so overwhelming. I know after all these months that she’s still alive.

But I just keep thinking, what if I missed something? You said the connection was bad. Yeah. But what if there was a clue under all that static? There’s something else that she was trying to tell me. I just, I wish that I could hear that. Call over again.

Maybe you can.

You got a location on Thomas Banks? No, not banks. Another Demer Minion has been spotted in this city. Does the name will helm Rolf ring any bells? Rolf is here. How do you, how do you know? Well, his, uh, face is all over the news feeds and you know, he’s an international fugitive. Someone called him a tip.

That’s right. Someone saw him getting takeout somewhere. Do they bring him in? Is he in custody? No, unfortunately he gave the local cops the slip and they believe he made it off the island. Damn. So close and apparently he was in a big hurry. He left all his stuff at the hotel. Do you leave any clues behind as to where he was headed?

That’s what I’m thinking. So I want to go down to the station and see what they found. Maybe there’s something that can lead us to Thomas Banks and te Kayla as soon as that serum’s gonna be ready. Well, you know, I hate to rain on your parade, brother of mine, but after reviewing Ralph’s, I can pretty much say there’s absolutely no way, no chance that I may make that turn for you.

Ms. Hathaway. You are now in the custody of Salem PD who will hold you until you are transported to Statesville Prison. Megan, are you listening? I know that it’s rude to stare detective, but I can’t help myself looking at you and seeing the way you hold yourself. I remind you of my father. I get it. Oh, it’s more than that.

It’s as if I actually. Succeeded in turning back the clock and made Bo Young again. What the hell is that supposed to mean?

What’s the problem? You, you have all raw snows. I understand that. Well, he made several batches of that fountain of you serum. Can’t you just follow the directions? Yeah. Bo this is not like it’s, you know, mom’s soda bread recipe. This is complicated. And this isn’t exactly a lab setting. And you know what?

The notes are incomplete. What do you mean? I mean that reviewing the documents, it’s clear that Ralph was taking instructions from what was on the three prisms that Megan got her hands on last. Prisms. Yes. And so it’s some sort of shorthand here that I, I can’t decipher. I Are you saying? I’m saying that.

No prisms. No sir. Son of ’em, bitch.

No worries. No worries. I think I know where they might be.

Hey, this is Alex Kikis, Victor Kiki’s nephew. Yes, I know who you are. I ask you not to call me here. Well, I’m sorry, officer. I just wanted to make sure that we’re all on the same page here. Now. I’m. Move over the funds you requested, but do you have my items? I do. All three prisms go ahead and wildly and not we agree.

Done those prisms are all yours.

Okay, look, I know this is gonna sound weird, but have you thought about hypnosis? Hypnosis? Yeah. When Ali accused me of assaulting her, she agreed to let Marlena Hypnotizer and under hypnosis, Allie was able to access her block memories and be able to piece together that it was actually my half brother Charlie who hurt her.

So you’re thinking if Marlena put me under that she could help me relive my call with my mom? Like I said, you were probably in. But maybe your brain absorbed more than you think it did. You know, just a few words or maybe some background. Those cup locator. Marlena just got home. I mean, after all that she’s been through.

No, you know, Marlena, okay. There’s nothing she would want more than to help find Kayla. Oh, you’re right. And even if it’s a long shot, I have to try, in God willing, I will remember something that can finally bring my mom home. When we left the island with Ralph, In the orchid. I was gonna go get the prisms.

Why didn’t you? Well, they weren’t where I thought they’d be. Okay. Well, like I said then, you know, no, uh, prisms. No, sir. No, just hold on. So there’s no reason for you to keep me here against my will. I might know where they’re at. Do you? I don’t know where Rolf went, but I know where he’s been and there’s a possibility he left them behind.

Okay. Officer Wire transfer is queued up and I’m ready to go.

Hey, how was the board meeting? Uh, well, you can uh, read the minutes later. Actually, I was, I was distracted the whole time by what I was worrying about you and this big surprise that you have plans. So tell me what are you love to Okay. While you were at the meeting, I cemented the deal, so I’m happy to share now.

Auntie, are you familiar with Will Helm? Damaris, Dr. Frankenstein, that’s the guy. Well, from what I understand, he’s currently a fugitive from justice. So what does he have to do with this deal of yours? Well, it turns out that Wolf was actually hiding out in Greece where the local police caught up with him.

Oh, so then they arrested him? No, he got away, but he had in his possess, Three invaluable prisms, powerful, powerful artifacts that Lian tried and failed to acquire last summer for Demer Enterprises. I’ve heard about these prisms. Then you know that there are reports that in the right hands these things can cure disease, possibly even turn back the clock on physical aging.

Hmm. The fountain of Youth. Yeah, exactly. Now, what if I told you. That I’m about to close a deal to secure all these prisms for tidy.

What are you trying to say about my father? Nothing. Didn’t sound like nothing. Hey, what did you mean when you said make him young again? I mean, you know that, that my father’s been dead for years. I’m sorry. I was only saying that looking at your handsome face was. Traveling back through time.

When you get to be a certain age, you start taking these walks down memory lane. Is that right? I’m sure you’re aware of the fact that your father and I had a very intense love affair. That is until he lost his taste for Brains in class and settled for hope. Okay, do do yourself a favor and keep my dad’s name and my mother’s name outta your.

Seems like I’ve touched a nerve. No, I’m done listening to this nonsense. You’ve hurt my family enough. I don’t think that your mother is suffering all that much at the moment. I have it on good authority that in fact, she’s moved on not only from our series of episodes, but from your father Beau as well.

What the hell are you talking about? I’m talking about that handsome rogue Harris. He and your mother are together for real Now you know what? I’m done listening to this. Okay? No, I understand. It’s always tough when mommy moves on with a new daddy. Shut your damn mouth, okay? Hey,

don’t worry Steve. We’re gonna find a K. Yes, we are. I know what you’re thinking. That this is a long shot, and I get it. I mean, just because Rolf and banks were both working with Megan doesn’t mean they’re still in contact. And maybe it’s implausible to think that Rolf left some clue behind, but what about any of this isn’t implausible?

It was implausible that Kayla was even alive in the first place. I know the connection is thin, but it’s the only one we have. Two banks, maybe not.

Okay. So I’m guessing if you haven’t slept since that phone call with your mommy, probably haven’t eaten either. So here, oh, that’s very sweet of you. But I’m, I’m just not hungry. Steph, if you need to keep up your strength so you can help your mom, Okay. At least a couple bites. Okay. Okay.

Look, I have plans later on, but maybe I should cancel ’em. I mean, I wanna make sure you get in to see Marlena. Are these, um, are these plans with clinician I who told you that? Mm-hmm. I know that you and Joey. We’re competing for her attention in Hong Kong, and I know that he backed off and tried to play Matchmaker.

Of course, he told you. Well, when it comes to gossip Lady whistleblower, it’s got nothing on our little brother. Huh? Joey just wants you to be happy and so do I. He like her. I do. It’s just one problem. She’s been hanging out with Johnny the. Hmm. Well, she’s going to dinner with you, so maybe she’s just as interested in you as you are in her.

Hope. You remember that little taverna where we first met, where we you were smashing all the plates, remember? Yeah. That I, how could I forget? Of course I remember. I also remember they had one of the best pastries that I’ve had. You know, the one with the nuts and the honey and all that feeling? Ava. Ava, yeah.

The most spectacular views. Well, the view. It’s amazing. So what about this Taver? Yeah, so this, this is, uh, this could be a long shot, but when Megan had me shadowing hope she arranged that I could stay in one of the rooms upstairs. Did she have a connection to the owner? I think so because, uh, another one of her employees was staying there looking for the prisons.

Thomas Banks.

I’ve heard rumors for years about the powers of these prisons, but it sounds like science fiction to me. Yeah. No, I know it’s pretty far out there, but the price I’m paying, the reward is definitely worth the risk. Hmm. I’ll be the judge. So what, uh, are the details? I mean, who, who is your contact on this transaction?

Okay, so when I found out that old Rolf was hanging out in Greece, naturally I reached out to Uncle Vick’s people and they connected me with an ally in the local law enforcement. So you are working with the police? Well, it turns out when Rolf evaded capture, they found the prisms in his hotel room and.

They agreed to sell them to you? One of them did. I mean, they’re just sitting in a evidence locker right now collecting dust. These cops have no idea what they have, so I managed to convince them to exchange them to us for a relatively small sum. Pretty amazing, right? Yes, it is just amazingly stupid.

Thomas Banks has a face only, uh, his mother could love. So if he’s been back to Thatta, someone definitely would’ve noticed. So we’ll go there and show his picture around. Okay. I’ll head to the police station and see what roll left behind re between these two long shots. Uh, hopefully we’ll catch a break.

Okay. Okay. You don’t need, you don’t need to push me. I don’t have all night. I gotta get. You just reminds me of, it reminds me of that time that mom PA took us on that road trip to to Niagara Falls. Do you remember that? And you kept running ahead and pushing me out of the way so that you could get the backseat window.

Remember that? Well, you and Roman always got to choose where to sit. Well, maybe if you weren’t such a nudge and if you weren’t so bossy, I

Nice. Walk me down memory. Hoping I’m the old boat. I like who I am, so sit tight until I get back. So what are you gonna do, Bo? You’re gonna just go walk into some random Greek police station and say, oh, excuse me. Do you have three powerful prisms? Because if you do, I need them. All you need to know smart ass is that I’m going to get you what you need so you can make sense of these notes, and then you’re gonna give me what I need.

So a lot of guys wants to just hang out in this wine cellar. I can think of worse places to hang out. Why don’t you open a nice bottle of mala and try to relax.

So you declared yourself to Wendy? Declared myself. You told her you have feelings for her Better? Yeah. A little more. 21st century. Yeah. So that means this dinner tonight is your one chance to convince her that she should be with you instead of Johnny. You don’t think that’s pressuring her, do you? Oh, it’s definitely pressure, but I don’t think that being clear about your intentions is ever a bad thing.

I’m not doing to her what Alex did to you. Alex tried to manipulate and control me because that’s who he is, unlike you. He will do whatever it takes to get what he wants no matter how wrong it’s,

so, you are telling me that you use Titan money. To pay off a police officer. It is not a payoff. Oh, no. So what it, what would you call it? A bribe, auntie. This is how these people do business. Uncle Vic has relationships with these people. These people. There’s an understanding. Have you talked to your uncle about this?

Of course not. I told you I would never go behind your back like I did before, ever again, because I’m going to prove to you that you can trust. Trust you because you use my husband’s name, you use Titan Cash as a currency to bribe a foreign government official. And I told you this is not a bribe. Ah-huh.

Well, it sounds like your shiner has, uh, finally healed, but now you have moved on to giving a blackout of this company and to this family.

I know this is intense. If you need to take a head break, I can watch it. Uh, no. I’m okay. Are you sure? Yeah, I’m good.

You even have the same fiery temper as Bo. I am done talking about my father. Oh. Your relationship with him is ancient history. If you say, What do you wanna talk about? Well, the condition of your deal to be transferred here to Salem is that you cooperate fully, which I have done. I told Steve that it was Thomas Banks who snatched your aunt Caleb from the island.

And that’s all I know. You can ask me as many questions as you like, but it will be a waste of time. We’ll decide that I’m, but I’m now exercising my constitutional right to counsel. I wanna make sure that this transfer to Statesville goes off without a hitch. Can one of you two darlings please Get me a telephone so that I can call my lawyer.

Thank you.

Okay, let’s do this. Oh, hold on a second before we start rolling people. Let’s get a lay land. See who we’re dealing with. You just want to park lava. We’re in an undercover mission, aren’t we? And yes, if I do happen to order one of the best pastries I’ve ever had, then just know it’s worth mission. All right.

Understood.

You supposed to be looking at everyone else. I’m trying. No, you’re not. I’m gonna try harder, Harris. I remember when I first saw you, Megan had given me a picture and that picture did not do you justice because there is no photo that could capture that spark in your eye.

That was probably the cafe from the espresso I had ordered. No,

that’s what makes you you. It means you so much life behind those eyes.

I can see the spark right now.

We shouldn’t be drawing so much attention to ourselves. It’s not like we’re, uh, dancing on the tables and smashing plates. This is. This is us blending in. It’s part of our cover. Yeah. A couple caught up in the romance of.

I can’t believe my own brother would lock me in here. And why? So I could create some youth serum. Come on.

I dunno how that goes. Well,

official, how can I help you? I’m Shane Donovan, director of the isa. I understand your property taken into evidence when you rated the rooms of Dr. Wilhelm Rolf. Uh, what property is that set? The Prisms Prisons? Yes. They’re extremely powerful and could be dangerous if they fell into the wrong hands. I’m here to secure them.

Do you have any paperwork? Do you back up your claim?

Am I up to understand there’s a problem with the request coming from the director of the isa?

Please tell me you did not send one single drma to this corrupt cop in Greece. I was about to send the payment when you walked in here. Oh, thank God. Hmm. And they don’t use drma anymore. Auntie. They use euro. I know that. I was just being dramatic. Okay. And don’t correct me. Not when you’re in the middle of doing something.

So colossally irresponsible. Okay, auntie, I need you to think about. Acquiring these prisms for Titan is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Here we are talking about being able to change the landscape of science and medicine. Titan would be on the forefront of making one of the greatest discoveries since penicillin.

Not to mention absolutely humiliating demara in the process. Well, even if the scientific claims are true, in which I honestly doubt you are talking about bribery and smuggling. I already told you I am vetoing this surprise of yours. Now I want you to get on the phone and call that dirty cop and tell him the deal is off, and then I’ll deal with you later.

Do you understand? Maggie, don’t you understand?

Good.

I need those prisms. Now it’s a matter of international security.

Excuse me, please.

Hello, Mr. There’s a man here from the ia. He’s asking about the prisons.

You can go ahead and hand them over.

I’m sorry, the deal is off.

Are you getting me those prisms or must I go over your. Ah, yes, of course. Director Donovan, I’m sorry for the delay. If you would please, uh, go wait on that room and I will go retrieve the prisoners for you. Very well.

May I help you? I sure hope so.

Oh, perfect. Want Kayla just like search me.

Oh, hey. Oh, what do we have here?

Are you sure you don’t want me to come with you to see Marlena? I could cancel with when? No, no, no, no. Do not do that. Thank you for the offer, but I’ll be. And if something happens with Marleno, if I hear from Dad, I’ll let you know. Please do. Good luck. You too. And for the record, Wendy would be very lucky to end up with a guy like you.

Thank you for saying that.

Oh my God. This could be her. Could be mom again. Hello Mom. Is that you? Look, I’m sorry I didn’t keep my cool with Megan in there. Are you kidding? I thought you showed great restraint. Given the circumstances, don’t you just, you know, wish sometimes that you could listen in a client speaking to her lawyer.

I mean, it would be a lot easier, right? Yeah. Tell me about it. I really hope that Megan plays. I wouldn’t put a pastor to use this as another opportunity to go after my mother again. Hello, Thomas. I just wanna give you a heads up that there are a lot of people out there looking for you right now. You’re welcome.

Oh, and you can return the favor by doing one little thing for me. I want you to find Bo Brady, and if anyone gets in your way, shoot them where they stand.

I am gonna say, um, that.

I’m also gonna say that I think it’s safe for us to do what we came here for. I thought we were already doing that.

Are you ready?

Ready. Okay.

So who should we talk to first?

Oh.

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. Director Donovan’s waiting on.

Shane Donovan is here. Why don’t you go and join him and, uh, we’ll go see what’s taking so long on.

Update written by Joseph

Tripp informs Wendy that he has feelings for her. Wendy admits that when they were in Hong Kong, she thought he liked her but then when she moved here, she thought he was over her. Tripp admits that he thought he was too and told himself that, but then he was talking to a patient and it hit him how much he still felt for her. Wendy asks if she knows the patient that he talked to. Tripp tells her that it was Paulina. Wendy then questions Tripp discussing her with Paulina and asks how he could do that.

Abe is shocked to learn Paulina was in the hospital and questions why she didn’t tell him. Paulina insists that she’s fine now. Abe argues that people who are fine don’t take themselves to the hospital and demands to know what’s going on. Paulina tells him to promise not to overreact and then informs him that she thought something might be wrong with her heart, but it’s not and she’s fine. Paulina explains that what she had was a panic attack, courtesy of Sloan.

At Sloan’s apartment, Sloan tells Eric that she’s just finishing up her petition for a restraining order against Paulina. Eric asks if she really thinks that’s necessary. Sloan calls Paulina deranged for showing up here and accusing her of sending her a threatening note with letters cut out of a magazine. Eric calls it a wild accusation. Sloan guarantees it won’t be happening again after she files the restraining order because Paulina won’t be able to come within 1500 feet of her unless she doesn’t mind ending up in a jail cell. Eric then approaches the stack of magazines with scissors by it on Sloan’s desk.

Li goes to the Bistro and wonders where the hell Gabi is. Johnny arrives and asks who he’s looking for. Li informs him that Gabi said she would be there on a business dinner. Johnny guesses he’s checking up on her. Li says it’s none of his business. Johnny asks if he’s worried that Gabi lied to him and is really hooking up with Stefan right now.

Stefan and Gabi kiss in the wine cellar of the DiMera tunnels. Gabi compliments how Stefan decorated the room. Stefan calls it no picnic on the beach. Gabi says all that matters is they are here together and no one can find them, so it’s perfect. Stefan calls her perfect for him and says he has never loved anyone like he loves her and he can’t believe it took him so long to remember. Gabi says what matters is that they beat Kristen, Dr. Rolf, and Li because they love each other that much. Gabi asks if he has any idea how long she’s dreamt of this moment as they continue kissing. Gabi jokes that if they keep this up, the dinner is going to get cold. Stefan jokes that they can let it and he’ll devour her. Gabi can’t believe he got the DiMera chef to make this for him and reminds him they need to keep up their strength. Gabi asks how he got the kitchen to make all of this without EJ and Nicole finding out. Stefan reveals that they know, but they think he’s upstairs eating in his bedroom with Melinda Trask.

EJ and Nicole return to the living room as EJ questions how stupid Stefan thinks they are. EJ complains that he shouldn’t have let Nicole talk him in to coming downstairs and he should’ve barged in to the room because there’s no way Stefan is cheating on Gabi, especially with an ice sculpture like Melinda Trask. Nicole says after what she saw and what they heard upstairs, maybe Melinda can heat up when she wants to. EJ doesn’t care and wants to know what Melinda is getting out of all this. Nicole remarks that it’s more than she’s getting from him. EJ asks what she’s doing. Nicole suggests changing the subject to their own love life instead of obsessing over Stefan’s.

Li tells Johnny to stay out of his business. Johnny says he didn’t mean to overstep and that when he came to the apartment, he couldn’t help but notice the chill in the air between he and Gabi. Li doesn’t care what he noticed and argues that he doesn’t know anything about he and Gabi. Johnny offers to not comment on Li and Gabi anymore, if Li promises to stop trying to convince him that something is going on between Wendy and Tripp.

Wendy complains that she can’t believe Tripp talked about her to a patient when she’s a very private person. Tripp argues that Paulina’s more than just a patient, she’s a friend and is his sister’s boss. Tripp adds that she was also very nice to them after Kayla died. Wendy guesses that she understands. Tripp apologizes and goes to leave. Wendy says he doesn’t have to leave but Tripp informs her that he’s on duty and just took his break because he decided he had to talk to her but he shouldn’t have butted in. Wendy tells him he’s not while Tripp says he didn’t realize Wendy and Johnny were so serious. Wendy remarks that Tripp is acting like Johnny is her boyfriend or something, but says that he is not. Tripp thought they patched things up. Wendy confirms that they did and had a few dates but they’re not exclusive. Tripp asks if that means he might have a shot with her. Wendy tells him that she’s beyond flattered. Tripp guesses that means she doesn’t feel how he feels. Wendy says that’s not what she’s saying and she’s just not sure. Wendy doesn’t know what to say now. Tripp suggests they just stop talking and he kisses Wendy.

Abe questions how long Paulina has been having panic attacks. Paulina swears it was just one and she doesn’t want him worrying about her. Abe argues that he’s been worried about her and Chanel ever since Sloan started this and that the police should be doing something. Paulina agrees but says they keep saying it’s her word against Sloan’s and complains that Sloan is always one step ahead of the cops. Paulina notes that she didn’t even bother to tell the police about the latest thing, revealing that someone left a note with cutout letters from a magazine, that said “This Isn’t Over Bitch”. Abe wants to see the note but Paulina says she gave it to Chanel. Abe argues that she should’ve given it to the police as they might have been able to lift fingerprints from it. Paulina is sure she wore gloves and adds that she confronted Sloan first but she denied everything like she always does. Abe decides that does it and orders Paulina to go home and rest. Abe declares that it’s time that he handles Sloan, himself.

Sloan tells Eric that it won’t take long but she’s going to the courthouse to file the restraining order. Eric points out that it’s the late and the courthouse is closed. Sloan says they don’t lock the front entrance so she’ll just slide it under the judge’s door and come right back. Eric suggests she just e-mail it but Sloan says the judge is old school, so she wants her to see it first thing in the morning. Sloan promises it won’t take long and she’ll come right back as she then exits the apartment. Eric wonders what Sloan has done now as he sits down and begins to look through her stack of magazines.

Li admits it was petty of him to insinuate something was going on between Tripp and Wendy. Johnny asks why he did it then. Li brings up how Johnny went to such lengths to expose his involvement in what Dr. Rolf did. Johnny argues that Li hired Dr. Rolf and told him to rearrange Stefan’s brain. Li questions Johnny being outraged on behalf of an uncle he never even knew. Johnny clarifies that he didn’t do it for Stefan, but for his grandfather Stefano. Li calls Stefano a mob boss. Johnny says he wasn’t that to him and talks about adoring Stefano growing up. Johnny states that Stefan was Stefano’s son and EJ didn’t give a damn about him, so someone had to. Li complains that Johnny tried to ruin his life and also involved his sister in it. Johnny argues that Wendy was just as excited to get to the truth as he was. Johnny adds that they didn’t ruin his life as Li did that on his own. Johnny then asks what the problem is since Li and Gabi are still together, so she and Stefan are farther apart than ever. Li supposes it is time that they bury the hatchet for Wendy’s sake since she seems quite fond of him for reasons he doesn’t understand. Li adds that there doesn’t seem to be anything between Wendy and Tripp, but friendship…

Tripp and Wendy kiss until she pulls away. Tripp asks if he misread the situation. Wendy says it’s not like he forced himself on her, so Tripp questions why she pulled away. Wendy responds that ever since she came to Salem, she hasn’t had much luck in the romance department, so she doesn’t want to mess up whatever this is before it even starts. Wendy says it’s pretty obvious that there is something happening between them. Tripp calls it awesome that she feels it too. Wendy points out that there is still Johnny to consider because she cares about him too. Tripp suggests they go on a real date and then if she’s not feeling it or if she decides Johnny is the one, then they can go back to just being friends.

Gabi thought Stefan said the whole thing with Melinda was just last night. Stefan explains that he had to cover tonight, so he sent Melinda a text and she was cool with it. Gabi questions what happened tonight then. Stefan explains that he and Melinda had to make out in front of Nicole. Gabi questions him making out with that bitch. Stefan says it was just for two minutes but now EJ and Nicole think he’s upstairs with Melinda, so that he could be down here with Gabi. Gabi warns Stefan to be careful with Melinda. Stefan assures that Melinda is on their side and hates EJ for letting Kristen escape. Gabi doesn’t care and says Melinda doesn’t do anything without wanting something in return. Stefan says he promised to make a sizable donation to her fund in her daughter’s name. Gabi asks what if Melinda wants a real shot with him. Stefan assures that he’s told her that Gabi is the only woman for him. Gabi remembers feeling like she lost him forever and says she can’t go through that again. Stefan insists that she’s not going to lose him again. Gabi recalls him saying that before and turns away. Stefan tells her that everything is fine now and that it’s not the time to get superstitious. Gabi knows he made quite the effort, but says he could’ve picked a better setting since this is where she helped Abigail tie Gwen to a chair. Stefan reminds her that this is also where they finally admitted their true feelings to each other. Gabi knows they’ve had bad times but it’s led her to this journey to where she’s always wanted to be, right here in his arms as they kiss.

Eric flips through Sloan’s magazines but finds nothing cut out. Abe arrives and angrily demands to know where Sloan is. Eric informs him that she’s not home and went out to run some errands. Abe questions doing that at this time of night and warns Eric that he better hope she’s not delivering another threatening letter to his wife.

Sloan and Paulina run in to each other in the town square. Sloan asks if she’s stalking her now. Paulina says she should be asking her the same thing and tells onlookers that there is nothing to see here. Sloan shouts that the mayor’s wife is harassing a private citizen. Paulina remarks that she’s losing her mind. Sloan informs Paulina that she just filed a restraining order against her, so by this time tomorrow, she won’t be able to come within 1500 feet of her without being thrown in jail like the criminal she is.

EJ brings Nicole a drink and massages her feet. EJ apologizes if he’s been neglecting her, but says he thought she was enjoying their little game with Stefan and Gabi as much as he was. Nicole says she was but says being a co-conspirator wasn’t enough for her and asks if it is enough for him. EJ tells Nicole that he does see her as more than his co-conspirator. EJ calls her the woman he wants to be with and says it’s time he starts acting like it. EJ decides that this occasion calls for more, so he’s going down to the wine cellar to get Stefano’s favorite champagne and then he will be back to romance the beautiful woman by his side. Nicole jokes that’s more like it. EJ promises not another word will be spoken about Stefan or Gabi in this house tonight. EJ then enters the tunnels…

Stefan and Gabi kiss until he pulls out his phone to turn some music on and they begin to dance. Stefan says if this is a dream, he never wants to wake up. They start kissing and removing their clothes. Stefan calls her even more beautiful than he remembers as they continue kissing.

Abe demands answers from Eric. Eric sees that he’s upset. Abe complains that he’s more than upset because Sloan has been terrorizing Paulina and Chanel. Eric argues that terrorizing is a very strong word. Abe shouts that Paulina went to the hospital today because she thought she was having a heart attack, but it turned out to be a panic attack. Eric says he’s really sorry that happened but Sloan says that she wasn’t anywhere near Paulina’s office today. Abe mocks the idea of Sloan being a woman of her word. Abe mentions somebody leaving a note for Paulina right after the police left, that said “This Isn’t Over Bitch” and the letters were cut out of a magazine. Eric states that Sloan says she didn’t do that either. Abe asks what the hell else she’s going to say and questions if Eric honestly believes her. Eric doesn’t answer, so Abe guesses he has doubts of his own. Abe brings up Eric’s parents being two of his closest friends and says he’s known Eric since he was born. Abe questions if Eric is going to stay neutral when this woman is coming after his loved ones.

Paulina questions Sloan getting a restraining order against her. Sloan states that she’ll have it by tomorrow morning. Paulina argues that Sloan admitted to coming to town to go after her and her loved ones. Sloan points out that nobody else heard her say that and Paulina hears what she wants to hear. Sloan claims she came to Salem to open a law practice and it was only a coincidence that Paulina and Chanel happened to be there too. Paulina says she took that coincidence and ran with it. Sloan brings up how Paulina tried to tear down the town square and says Paulina is a liar who covered up Chanel’s involvement with her mother. Paulina says that was no lie and that Sloan was no better than her mother, who brought Chanel to that roof to kill her. Sloan remarks that Chanel did the killing and it seems to her that it runs in the family. Sloan mentions hearing that Paulina’s other daughter, Lani, is in prison for shooting her own father to death. Paulina warns Sloan to keep her daughter’s name out of her mouth. Sloan calls that another threat to add to her complaint. Paulina starts having another panic attack and complains that she can’t catch her breath.

Li and Johnny toast to their truce. Li remarks that he wishes Wendy could see him having a civilized drink with her new boyfriend. Johnny clarifies that he’s not her boyfriend yet as they are taking it one day at a time. Li asks if he’s alright with that. Johnny admits he wishes things were moving a little faster. Johnny mentions that he’s bringing her here for dinner tomorrow night which is why he came to make the reservation. Li asks if Johnny is serious about Wendy. Johnny confirms that he is. Li reminds Johnny that Wendy is not as experienced as he is. Johnny argues that Li knows nothing about him. Li states that Gabi does and she filled him in. Johnny guesses he earned that reputation but says it’s different with Wendy as he hasn’t felt this way about anyone since his divorce. Li wishes them nothing but the best. Johnny thanks him and says he should get going to tell Wendy about their big night. Johnny tells Li that he will see him around and exits. Li remarks to himself that he hopes Johnny has better luck finding his woman than he did with his.

Stefan and Gabi finish having sex. Stefan can’t believe how much he missed doing this with her and questions how he’s going to stay away from her for another 4 months. Gabi says he’ll just have to think about the stock shares which Stefan says is the last thing he wants to think about. Gabi points out that they have some extra time, so they’ll make it worth their while as they begin kissing again. EJ then comes to get the champagne but finds the door cracked open. EJ slowly pushes it open further and finds Stefan and Gabi kissing in bed. EJ then pulls his phone out to record them.

Paulina’s panic attack continues as Sloan questions what kind of stunt she’s trying to pull. Paulina sits down and tries to breathe while Sloan asks what kind of attention she thinks she’s going to get. Paulina insists it’s not a performance. Sloan remarks that if this is a panic attack, she’s getting off easy because if there’s any justice in the world, she and Chanel will never know another moment of peace. Sloan then turns and walks away.

Eric tells Abe that he thinks of him as part of his family and he’s a constant in his life, but Chanel and Paulina are not and they hardly know one another. Abe asks what the hell he’s talking about, pointing out that Eric was at their wedding and Chanel just ended a relationship with Eric’s niece. Abe brings up Paulina’s sister being Eric’s mother’s roommate in college. Abe then questions what Marlena thinks about this relationship. Eric responds that he and Marlena have a lot to say to each other, but the last thing he will discuss with her is his love life. Abe says when John told him that Marlena was alive, it was like a miracle had happened. Eric talks about thinking he lost his mom and going to a very dark place where he wanted to kill Orpheus and Kristen with his bare hands. Eric thinks that’s why he empathizes with Sloan, because her loss was greater than his. Abe argues that Sloan’s mother tricked Chanel in to meeting her on that rooftop and attacking Chanel for her affair. Eric points out that’s what Chanel says. Abe insists it’s what happened and that Chanel had nothing to do with the death of Sloan’s father. Abe adds that Paulina did exactly what he would’ve done in protecting her child. Abe knows Eric has been through some horrible times and something like that changes a man, but the Eric Brady that he watched grow up was always a good judge of character and he would never be taken in by a woman like Sloan Peterson.

Tripp asks Wendy if they are on for tomorrow night or not. Johnny then arrives and tells Wendy that he knows it’s kind of late but he wanted to let her know that he made plans for them for tomorrow night. Johnny informs her that he booked the Bistro’s best table and told them he wants it to be a very special night for someone who is very important to him.

EJ returns to the living room, excited to tell Nicole about what he saw but she’s gone. Nicole then returns to the room in a sparkling red dress and says she thought she would slip in to something a little more comfortable. Nicole asks about the vintage champagne. EJ says he couldn’t locate it. Nicole says that’s okay as she doesn’t need any more alcohol and she just needs him. They kiss until Nicole suggests they go upstairs so he can take care of her needs. EJ tells her to go ahead and he’ll be right behind her. Nicole says he better be as she heads upstairs. EJ then pulls out his phone and sends a text to Li before heading upstairs.

Li walks through the town square and gets EJ’s text. Li wonders what the hell he wants now as he opens the text and is shocked to see a photo of Stefan and Gabi in bed together.

Stefan and Gabi lay in bed together, wishing they could stay like this forever. Gabi figures Li is already suspicious so she has to go. Stefan hates playing this game. Gabi says she does too but in 4 months, they will be together and running DiMera Enterprises as they were meant to.

Sloan returns home and tells Eric that she’s all his. Eric informs her that she just missed Abe. Sloan questions him showing up unannounced and remarks that she’ll have to get a restraining order against him too. Eric states that Abe is worried about his wife and stepdaughter. Sloan argues that she’s the innocent party here, so if anyone is being harassed, it’s her. Sloan pulls out her phone so Eric questions who she is texting. Sloan says she is just following up with a clerk who works for the judge, to make sure that her restraining order gets processed right away. Sloan declares that it’s time someone taught Paulina a lesson…

Abe waits at home until Paulina arrives. Abe thought she was coming straight here, so he was afraid something had happened to her as he hugs her. Paulina informs him that she had another run-in with Sloan. Abe says he went to her apartment to look for her and questions what happened. Paulina complains that Sloan went off on her and is getting a restraining order against her. Abe suggests that maybe Eric can talk some sense in to Sloan as he thinks he might have gotten through to him. Abe notes that Eric didn’t say anything about it but he thinks Eric might be having some doubts. Paulina suggests Eric should start thinking with his head. Abe thinks people are starting to catch on to Sloan. Abe hopes that before long, she will overplay her hand and they will nail her. Paulina says she needs to sit down but she is then shocked by an anonymous text message that says “Your husband can’t save you.”

Johnny tells Wendy about their dinner reservation while Tripp watches on. Johnny asks if something is wrong. Wendy says she just wishes that he checked with her before making the reservation. Johnny questions if she’s busy tomorrow night. Wendy reveals that she is going out with Tripp.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Did you hear what I said? I did. You still have feelings for me?

Aren’t you gonna say something? Well, When we had our little adventure in Hong Kong, I, I thought you liked me and then I moved here and you came back and I dunno, I just felt like you were over for me. I thought I was too. At least that’s what I told myself. Then today I was talking to a patient and it just kind of hit me like how much I still feel for you.

Wait, you were talking to a patient about. Do I know this person? Uh, yeah. It’s Chanel’s mom pulling a price. You discussed me with her. How could you do that? You were in the hospital. Why didn’t you say anything? Are are you all right? Yes. I I’m fine now. I you don’t have to worry. Video people. Were fine.

Don’t take themselves to the hospital now. What’s going on? You have to promise not to overreact, please. Almost. Okay. I went to the hospital because I thought, I thought something might be wrong with my heart. Your heart, but it’s not. It’s fine. I’m fine. Oh, what I had was, was a panic attack courtesy of that bitch Sloan Peterson.

You invited me over here to watch you work. No way. This isn’t gonna take long. I just am finishing up a request for a restraining order. I really think that’s necess. Yes, I do. Paul Price is drained. Showing up here, accusing me of sending her a, a threatening note with letters cut out of a magazine. Yeah,

that’s, uh, pretty wild accusation. Won’t happen again. I can guarantee that as soon as the judge grants this request, Paulina Price won’t be able to come with them 1500 feet of me. Now she doesn’t mind ending up in a jail sale.

Where the hell is she? Who are you looking for? Uh, it’s you. Gabby’s supposed to be here having a business dinner. Oh, you’re checking up on her. Right? That’s none of your business. What are you so worried about that Gabby lied to you? That she’s really hooking up with my Uncle Stephan right now.

I’ve spent enough time in this room to know that you are quite the decorator. Come on. Really? No. Really? You’ve got talent. It’s not like this is a picnic on the beach in Ibiza. Our matters is that we’re here together and we can’t find this. It’s perfect. You’re perfect. Perfect for me, Gabby. I have never loved anyone the way I love you.

I can’t believe it took me so long to remember that. Time’s over now. Okay. What matters is that we beat Kristen, and Ralph and Lee, and we did it because we love each other that much. I. Do you have any idea how long I’ve dreamt of this moment?

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

If we keep this up, that dinner that you smuggled in is gonna get cold. Let it, I’m gonna devour something. I want it to be you. I can’t believe you’ve got the Demara chef to make this for you. And on top of it, we have to keep our strength, but come on. Good point. Thank you. Wow. So how did you, uh, how did you get the kitchen to make all of this without the Lord and Lady of the Manor finding out, oh, please, EJ and Nicole, they know about dinner.

They know. Yeah. They just think that I’m upstairs eating in my bedroom with me. Belinda Trask.

How stupid does he think we are? I don’t know. He never should have talked me into coming downstairs. I should have bought straight into that room. There is no way in hell that Stefan would cheat on Gabby, especially with an I sculpture like Melinda Trust. Well, after what I saw when we got home and what we heard, Maybe good old Melinda can heat up whenever she wants to.

I don’t care what we saw or what we heard. Me too. What I wanna know is what Melinda tries is getting out of all of this more than I’m getting from you. Excuse me. How are you doing? Changing the subject to what? Well, maybe instead of obsessing over Stephanie’s love life, we could turn our attention to ours.

Why don’t you do whatever you came here to do and stay outta my business? Hey, I didn’t mean to overstep. I just, and when I came over to your guys’ apartment the other morning, I couldn’t help but notice a chill in the air between the two of you. I don’t care what you noticed. You don’t know anything about Gabby and me.

I’ll tell you what, I’ll make you a deal. I won’t comment on you and Gabby anymore if you promise to stop trying to convince me that there’s something going on between Wendy and Tripp. I can’t believe you talked about me to a patient. I’m a very private person. Okay. Well, Pauline is not just any patient.

She’s my sister’s boss. She’s like a friend of our family. She was really great to us after Kayla died.

Okay. I guess I understand. I’m really screwing this up. I’m, I’m sorry that I broke my mouth to Paul. No worth to you, but you don’t have to leave. I, I’m on duty. Okay. I, I decided that I had to talk to you and so I took a break, but I, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have butted between you and I I didn’t think you were butting in.

I didn’t realize you two were so serious. You act like Johnny’s my boyfriend or something. Well, isn’t he? But, but I thought you two patched things up. Yeah, we did. We’ve had like a few dates, but not exclusive. Oh, okay. What does that mean? I have a shot with you. Look, I am beyond flattered, flattered. Okay.

That came out wrong. No, no. I think you made yourself perfectly clear. Uh, how I feel for you is just the way you feel about me. That’s not what I’m saying. Oh, Kevin, what are you saying? I’m not sure.

I dunno what to say now. Maybe we should just stop talking.

How, how long have you been having these panic attacks? Um, it was just the one, I swear, Abe, I, I don’t want you worrying about. I have been worrying about you and Chanel ever since Sloan Peterson started this. The police should be putting a stop to it. I agree. But they keep saying all they have is my word against hers.

And Abe, she always is one step ahead of the cops. I didn’t even bother to tell ’em about the latest thing. What latest thing? After the police left my office, someone left a note for me. It said This is an over. Which in her handwriting, no. She knew better than to do that. Oh, she cut letters out from a magazine.

I wanna see that. No, I gave it to Chanel. You should have taken it to the police. They might have been able to lift fingerprints off it. Mm. If she was smart enough to cut letters from a magazine. She was smart enough to wear gloves besides who wanted to tell her a thing or two before I talked to them.

You confronted. What happened? She denied everything like she always does. That doesn’t, wherever you going, I’m going, no, no, you’re going home. You’re gonna lie down and get some rest. Oh, no, that’s, that’s it. It is time that I handled Sloane Peterson, myself.

This won’t take long. Where are you going? The courthouse. This slate? Yes. I wanna get this requested by tonight. Yeah, but the courthouse is closed. Well, they don’t lock the front entrance. I’m just gonna slide this under Judge Bauer’s door and I’ll come back. No, no, no. You can email it. No, judge Bauer’s Old School.

I want her to see this first thing tomorrow morning. Like it’s not gonna take long. I’ve. And I’ll make it up to you when I get back.

What has she done now?

I suppose it was petty of me insinuating there was something going on between Trip and Wendy. So why’d you do it? Because you went to such lengths to expose my involvement in what Rolf did to him, your involvement. You hired the guy, you told him to rearrange My Uncle Stephan’s brain. You are outraged on behalf of an uncle you never even knew.

No, I didn’t do it for him. I did it for my, no-no. What? Yeah, it’s Italian for grandfather Stephano, the mall boss. No, not to me. To me, he was the guy who pulled quarters out of thin air. Let me keep him, let me eat the cherries out of his Manhattans. I adored him. Stephan was his son. I mean, my own father didn’t give a damn about his brother.

So somebody had to, huh? You tried to ruin my life. And not only that, you also involved my younger sister in your place. Oh, okay. Wendy. Just as excited to get to the truth as I was. And Lee, we didn’t ruin your life. Okay. You did that on your own and you don’t think you’re splitting hairs here. What’s your problem?

You and Gabby are still together, so she and my uncle are farther apart than ever. Right? Right.

I suppose it is time to two of us bury the hatchet for my sister’s sake for reasons. That I don’t understand. She seems quite fond of you and you’ll be pleased to know that there doesn’t seem to be anything between her and Dr. Johnson, but friendship.

Did I, did I mis Reid? I’m sorry, I should ask this. No, no, no. It’s, it’s not like you forced yourself on me. Okay, then. Then why did you fool away just now?

Ever since I came to Salem, I haven’t had much luck in the romance department, and I don’t wanna mess up whatever this is before it even starts.

Okay. It’s pretty obvious there’s something happening between the two of us. I see you feel that too.

It’s awesome,

but there’s still Johnny to consider. I care about him. Right, right. Of course. Um,

what if you and I went on a real day tomorrow night and then afterwards, if you’re not feeling it or you just decide that Johnny is the one, we’re just going back to Peter’s friends, what do you say?

I thought you said this whole thing with Melinda Chaz, just last night. Yes. But I had to cover for where I was going to be tonight. So I sent her a text to come here and she was cool with it. So what happened tonight, Melinda and I had to make out in front of Nicole. You made out with that bitch? Just, just for two minutes.

Okay. But now EJ and Nicole think I’m upstairs with her so I could be down here with you. So be careful with that woman. She’s on our side. She hates EJ for letting Kristen escape. I don’t care. Doesn’t do anything without wanting something in return. Well, I already promised her that I would make a sizable donation to the foundation she set up in her daughter’s memory.

What if she wants a real shot with you? I have told her that you are the only woman for me.

So I remember the feeling like I lost you forever, Stephen. I can’t, I can’t go through that again. Gabby. You’re not gonna lose me again. You said something like that the night that you helped Vivian leave town, and then the next time I saw you was on a more table table.

Everything is fine now. Right

now is not the time to get superstitious. I get that and, and I know that you made quite the effort, but could have picked a better place for this rendezvous. I mean, right over here is where I helped Abigail tie Gwen to a. Do you know what else happened right here? What? Right here is where you and I got real with each other about our feelings.

Remember that finally admitted our true feelings for one another. So maybe being trapped down here wasn’t the worst thing. I don’t know about you, but I’m not here to be rescued.

Tell me you’ve forgotten. Of course, I haven’t forgotten. I remember every second I’ve spent with you. And every second. Every second. And I know that we’ve had bad times, but it’s, it’s led me to this journey, led me to where I’ve always wanted to be. Right here in your arms.

Cut out of this one either.

Hey, hey, where is she? Where’s Sloan? She’s not here. She’s out to run some errands at this time of night. You better hope that she’s not delivering another threatening note to my wife.

Oh my God. Are you stalking me now? I should be asking you that question. Nothing to see here. How? Nothing to see here. Really, the mayor’s wife is harass. A private citizen. Oh girl, you are losing your mind. You should know I just filed a restraining order against you. You did what? You heard me. By this time tomorrow, you won’t be able to come within 1500 feet of me not getting thrown in jail like the criminal you are.

Peace offering. Thank you.

I’m sorry if I’ve been neglecting you, but in my defense I thought you were enjoying our little game with my brother and Gabby as much as I was, I was. My inner schemer has been garment for quite a while now because he was spending so much time crying with Eric, but, oh, here it comes. No, listen, listen, listen.

Being a co-conspirator isn’t enough for me, even if I’m a co-conspirator with benefits. Is it enough for you?

Oh, but now you’re cutting me off because I made the complaints.

I do see you as more than my co-conspirator. You’re the woman that I want to be with, and it’s high time. I started acting like it. Well then where are you going? This occasion calls for more than near cocktails. I’m going to go down to the wine cellar and grab a bottle of Father’s vintage champagne, and then I’ll be right back to romance, the beautiful woman by my side.

That’s more like it, and I promise you not. Another word be spoken about Stefan or Gabby in this house.

What’s wrong? You’re gonna make a phone call right now. You never heard of setting the mood.

We have this dance.

Whisper. This is a dream of ending. I hope we never wake up.

With harmony

yesterday, you are even more beautiful than I remember.

Can I get you something? Yeah. Hey, I can see you’re upset. I am more than upset. That woman that you are sleeping with has been terrorizing. My wife and my stepdaughter terrorizing our very strong words. Abe. Paul, you know what? To the hospital today? Why? Why? She said she was having a heart attack, but it turns.

She was having a panic attack. Now, what do you say to that? I’m sorry. I’m just really sorry that happened. But Sloan says she wasn’t anywhere near Paulina’s office today. Oh, God. She’s such a, she’s such a, a woman of her word. You know, somebody, somebody left a note, Paul Lena, right after the police left and that note said, this isn’t over.

Bitch and the letters were cut out of the magazine. Someone says she didn’t do that either. What the hell else was she going to say? Don’t you honestly believe her?

The accounts of your own

God, God sake. Your, your father and your mother are two of my closest friends. I’ve known him since you were born. Are you, are, are you gonna stay here? Neutral when this woman is coming after my loved ones.

You got a restraining order against me. I’ll have it by tomorrow morning. Haa, you admitted to me that you came to town with the express purpose of going after me and my loved ones. Well, did anybody hear me say that to you? I heard it. You hear what you wanna hear. You know, the truth is that I came to Salem with the sole purpose of opening a law practice.

It was only a coincidence that you and your home wrecking slut of a daughter happened to be here too. You, you took that coincidence and just ran with it like the bottom feeding shy at you more as opposed to you. The shady, uh, real estate tycoon who tried to tear down this historic town square and put up a big box store.

If you’re calling me a liar, then you’re just projecting. You lied through your teeth to cover up Chanel’s involvement with my mother. Oh, oh, oh. That was no lie, huh? And you are no better than your mother. She trapped Chanel on that roof so she could kill her. Chanel is the one that did the killing. Seems to me like it runs in the family.

I hear that your other daughter. The one who you pretended like she was your niece for most of her life is in prison for shooting her own father to death.

You know what’s good for you? You will keep my daughter’s name outta your filthy mouth. That sounds to me like another threat. I’ll just like to add that to my complaint.

What is the matter with you? It’s, it’s panic attack. Oh, I can’t get my breath. Yeah, breathe

Torturous. I wish Jing Wynn could see me having. Civilized drink with our new boyfriend. Hmm. I’m not her boyfriend yet. Hmm. Huh. Yeah, we’re taking it a day at time. You all right with that? Uh, well I wish things were moving a little faster. I’m actually, uh, bringing her here for dinner tomorrow night. That’s why I ran into you.

I came here to make the reservation. So you’re serious about it? Yeah. Yeah. I am.

Please remember that Jing Wen isn’t as, um, experienced as you are. You know nothing about me. Oh, Gabby does. And she filled me in.

Yeah. Okay. Yeah, I, I guess I earned that reputation, but it’s different with Wendy. I haven’t felt this way about anyone since my divorce, and I wish you and my sister nothing but the best. Well, thank you. Uh, I should probably get going. I gotta tell Wendy about our big nights. Yeah. I’ll see you around.

I hope you have better luck finding your woman than I do.

That was, yeah,

I can’t believe. I’ve missed us doing this. Me too. How am I gonna stay away from you for another four months? Just have to think about them. Lovely stock shares. Okay, the last thing I want to think about right now, stock shares. Well, we have time. Make it worth our.

Anna left the bloody door open again.

What kind of stunt are you trying to pull? No, not stunt, breath, breathe. Deep breath. What kind of attention do you think this sort of performance is gonna get you from me or anybody else? No, not performance. You know, if this is a panic attack, well then you’re getting off easy. If there is any justice in this world, you and Chanel will never know.

Another moment’s. Peace.

No. I think of you as part of my family.

I hear a butt coming. You are constant in my. But Chanel and Paulina, they aren’t, I mean, we hardly even know one another. What the hell are you talking about? You were there at my wedding when I married Paulina. Chanel just ended a relationship with your niece. Paul’s sister was your mother’s roommate at college.

You know what, what? What does Mar Lena think about this relationship? My mom and I have a lot to say to each other, but the last thing that I’ll be discussing with her is my love life.

I know when John told me, uh, told me that Marlena was alive, it was like a miracle. It happened. No, it was a miracle. We thought we lost her. I thought I lost my mom and I went to a very dark place. I wanted to kill Morpheus and Kristen with my own hands, and I wanted to watch them tie. I think that’s why I empathize with Sloan.

Because her loss, it was greater than mine.

Sloan’s mother tricked Chanel into meeting her on that rooftop. She had found out about the affair and she attacked Chanel. That’s what Chanel says, Abe, because that’s what happened. Chanel had nothing to do with the death of Sloan’s father and Paul did exactly what I would’ve done under the circumstances.

Protect my child.

I know you’ve been through some horrible times and something like that, that, that, that changes a man.

But the Eric Brady. That I watched grow up.

He was always a good judge of character and he would never, never be taken in by a woman like Sloan Peterson.

So are we on for tomorrow night or No?

Hold that thought.

Johnny. Hey, um, you know, it’s, it’s kind of late, but I wanted to stop by and let you know that I made plans for us tomorrow night. You did? Yes, I did. I booked us the bistro’s best table. I told the manager that I wanted to be a very special night for someone who’s really important to me.

You are never going to guess what I just saw. Nicole,

I thought you’d left. Oh, I thought I’d slip into something a.

So is Harold chilling, the vintage champagne. Actually, I, I couldn’t locate it. I need to have a conversation with Tony about Anna’s expensive tastes. That’s okay. I don’t need anymore alcohol. I just need you.

So why don’t you and I go upstairs and need, take care of my needs? You go ahead. I’ll be right behind you. You better be. I’ll be right behind you. Mm-hmm.

Ej, what the hell does he want now?

Wish we could stay like this forever. No, me too. But he whose name, who cannot not be spoken is. Suspicious. Right. And now I gotta go. I hate playing this game.

I know. Me too. In four months. You and I are gonna be together. We’re gonna enterprises together just as we

I’m back, and I’m all yours. You just missed Dave Carver, are you? The mayor showed up at my home unannounced. I’m gonna have to get a restraining order against him too. He’s worried about his wife and his stepdaughter. Okay. Hey, I’m the innocent party here. Get it. If anyone’s being harassed, it’s me.

Who are you texting? I’m following up with a friend who clerks for Judge Bauer. Wanna make sure that my request for that restraining order gets processed right away. It’s time someone taught Paulina Price a.

I thought you were coming straight here. I, I, I was just afraid something had happened to you. Oh, something did. I had another run in with Sloan Peterson. I went to her, Barbara to look for her, and she was with. What happened? She started it on me. Oh. Told me she’s getting a restraining order against me. Can you believe it?

Well, I think it’s better if you don’t see her, but, you know, maybe, maybe Eric can talk some sense into her. I, I, I think I got through to him tonight. I mean, he didn’t, you know, he didn’t, uh, really say anything about it, but I. I think he’s having some doubts about her. Oh, well, oh, maybe that, that young man, he should start thinking with his head instead of with his libido.

Well, I think people are starting to catch on to Sloan. I just hope that before too long she’ll overplay her hand. And we’ll nail mm-hmm. From your mouth to God’s ears. Oh, I need to sit down. Oh, yeah, yeah. Wait. Here, here. Everything’s gonna be all right. Oh, I got you. I got you. Oh, ignore it. Ignore it. Ignore it.

It might be Chanel. Oh, oh, it’s not Chanel. Whoa. What does it say?

Your husband can’t save you.

Uh, dinner’s at seven, so I thought I’d pick. Say six 30,

something wrong. I just wish you checked with me before you made this plan. Are you busy tomorrow night?

Yeah, I am.

I’m going.

Andrew was confident he could get Harris released from custody. Harris wasn’t sure it was a good idea. He thought he might still be under Megan’s influence. He said he was a killer too. He felt he should have to answer to that. Andrew reminded him that he was Megan’s victim and he had a lot to live for and that included Hope. He didn’t think he could live up to her ex-husband. Andrew knew Hope would always have a place for Bo in her heart, but he’s dead. He wanted to know who Harris was competing with as far as Hope is concerned. Hope demanded that Megan tell her and Steve where Kayla was taken. She said it was a name they were familiar with and she said it was Thomas Banks. She told them that she didn’t give the order to take Kayla. She said “Thomas” went rogue. She didn’t understand it because she gave him a good life there. She cried and said she sacrificed everything for him and he didn’t care about who he hurt. Hope wanted to know why it hurt her so much. She said she expected loyalty.

Days of Our Lives Update

Update written by Joseph

Stefan has a drink in the living room of the DiMera Mansion. Nicole walks in and says she hasn’t seen him all day and asks how last night went at the Salem Inn. Stefan responds that it went great until Li walked in while Nicole pretends to be surprised.

EJ meets Li in the park. EJ asks Li what happened when he caught Gabi and Stefan in bed together and if he kicked Gabi to the curb to take back his DiMera shares. Li responds that he didn’t so EJ asks why not. EJ argues that Gabi broke the terms of their agreement and slept with Stefan. Li then reveals that Gabi didn’t sleep with Stefan.

Wendy comes home and greets Gabi, who says she completely lost track of time. Wendy asks if she’s okay. Gabi says she’s fine and is just working on her new line. Wendy asks if Gabi has talked to anyone. Gabi questions why she’s asking her questions. Wendy guesses she doesn’t know and says it’s about Stefan. Gabi asks if something is wrong. Wendy says kind of and informs Gabi that Stefan is sleeping with the district attorney.

Melinda goes to Rafe’s office and reminds him that she told him if he didn’t hand her an airtight case against Sloan, her office would have to drop the whole thing. Melinda says either Rafe is still lining up evidence or he has no idea who broke in to Paulina’s office. Melinda asks which one it is.

Abe walks through the town square and calls Paulina, asking where she is. Paulina claims that she’s still at the office, cleaning up the mess that Sloan made and she’s going to be stuck there for awhile. Paulina apologizes to Abe, while she’s actually at the hospital for her appointment and Tripp enters her hospital room.

Rafe informs Melinda that they had to cut Sloan loose after she denied everything. Melinda asks if he thought she would break down and admit everything, noting that he doesn’t have a shred of evidence. Rafe insists that if there’s evidence out there, they will find it. Melinda warns Rafe that if Sloan sues them for harassment, this one’s on him as she then leaves his office.

Gabi asks where Wendy heard that Stefan is sleeping with Melinda. Wendy says she’s sorry but she saw it in Leo’s column in the Spectator. Gabi laughs off the idea. Wendy thought she would be more upset and questions how she can be so sure that it’s not true.

Nicole asks Stefan about Li walking in on him. Stefan says he was worried about it happening ever since she left him at the Inn, but EJ assured him that Li would be kept off the scent. Nicole claims this is awful and asks how Li found out. Nicole says that EJ will be furious and asks how ugly it got. Nicole adds that Gabi must be a wreck if she’s not getting Li’s DiMera shares. Stefan clarifies that their deal is still on and Gabi is still getting the shares. Nicole questions that happening even after Li found them in bed. Stefan then reveals to her that Li found him in bed, but with somebody else.

EJ tells Li that he doesn’t understand. Li explains that he followed the plan, burst in, and caught Stefan in bed but Gabi wasn’t there. Li then reveals that Stefan was in bed with Melinda Trask which shocks EJ. EJ argues that this doesn’t make sense since Nicole left the room and Stefan was with Gabi. Li tells EJ that somebody pulled a fast one on him. EJ realizes it was Stefan.

Nicole tells Stefan to start over and questions Li finding him in bed with someone other than Gabi and asks who it was. Melinda then arrives and kisses Stefan, leaving Nicole confused.

Gabi questions Wendy thinking that Stefan turned to Melinda after he couldn’t be with her. Wendy points out that Stefan can’t be with Gabi and admits that Melinda is beautiful. Gabi argues that Leo lies for a living while Stefan is a DiMera and they pay off district attorneys rather than sleeping with them. Gabi wants to change the subject and asks about Wendy’s love life. Wendy responds that she doesn’t think she and Johnny have much of a love life, more of a hang out and watch movies life. Gabi then informs her that she wasn’t talking about Johnny, but about Tripp.

Abe tells Paulina that he’s in the town square now and he’s happy to wait for her. Paulina says she doesn’t know how long she’ll be and claims that security is there to check the cameras so she has to go. They say I love you and hang up. Paulina tries to explain to Tripp that she was lying to Abe because she doesn’t want him to worry about her as it’s not good for him. Tripp tells her that she doesn’t have to explain anything to him. Tripp asks Paulina why she is here because her doctor got called in to surgery. Tripp looks over the notes and asks if she was experiencing heart palpitations. Paulina explains that she thought she was having a heart attack but Chanel’s new hire said it was a panic attack. Tripp remarks that she’s glad that she came in to see a doctor rather than someone who bakes cakes for a living. Paulina then informs him that Talia is a great baker but also a full-fledged doctor.

Abe runs in to Jade in the town square and says he’s been hearing really good things about her work. Jada says she loves her job and calls Rafe a great boss. Abe tells her to have a nice night as he walks away. Talia then comes out from the bakery and talks about her day at work. Jada comments on a doctor talking about working at a bakery. Talia says once a doctor always a doctor and tells Jada that she can ask Paulina, because just today she performed a medical miracle. Talia explains that Paulina was convinced she was having a heart attack, but she diagnosed it as a panic attack. Jada downplays it so Talia complains that she’s always put down her achievements. Jada jokes that she’s always spoke highly of her cupcakes which Talia calls works of art. Jada mentions that she can see Paulina having a panic attack since Sloan is dedicated to ruining her life. Talia asks about the investigation. Jada says it’s ongoing, so first thing in the morning, they will go through everything they have and find something to put Sloan in a cell where they belong. Talia asks Jada what she’s doing tonight. Jada says she’s getting takeout and watching TV. Talia questions when Jada last went on a date and encourages her to get back out there. Talia asks Jada about the hunky cop that she always sees her with. Jada responds that Shawn is her partner and married, but Talia clarifies that she’s talking about Rafe.

Abe goes to Rafe’s office and asks if there’s anything new about the break-in to Paulina’s office. Rafe says they didn’t have enough evidence to hold Sloan but he and Jada will start over tomorrow. Abe mentions just running in to Jada and asks how she’s doing here. Rafe says she’s great and getting better every day. Abe asks if Rafe likes her then. Rafe asks if he didn’t make that clear. Abe clarifies that he didn’t mean professionally and questions if there’s nothing going on between them. Rafe asks where this is coming from and assures that he knows the rules and how that would violate his new policy of superiors and subordinates getting involved which Abe confirms. Abe doesn’t mean to drag this out but points out that Rafe hasn’t denied it. Abe then asks Rafe if he is or isn’t romantically interested in one of his detectives.

EJ tells Li that Stefan must have figured it out, went along with the setup, but at the last minute got Melinda to play his love interest. Li questions how Stefan pulled off this plan while EJ wonders how Stefan got Melinda to agree to it. Li complains that he looked like a fool and now Stefan and Gabi know that he’s on to them. EJ asks if Gabi said that. Li says that Gabi is sticking to the script. Li blames EJ for Stefan and Gabi now having the upper hand. EJ doubts how long they can keep up the charade.

Stefan and Melinda continue kissing as Nicole pours a drink and asks when they first connected. Stefan claims it’s been building for quite some time and notes that Nicole doesn’t seem very happy for them.

Paulina asks Tripp if Talia was right that it was just a panic attack. Tripp says it looks that way but notes that Dr. Greenberg will still want to make his own judgment. Paulina brings up Tripp sleeping in her daughter’s bed. Tripp confirms that he got Chanel’s old room at the apartment. Paulina asks if he wishes Chanel was still there. Tripp responds that he doesn’t think she does since there’s a lot of bad memories for her there. Paulina agrees and suggests maybe Tripp could do something else for her after this. Paulina knows Tripp knows that Allie broke Chanel’s heart and now she’s worried about her health. Tripp asks if she wants him to call Chanel to tell her the medical report is fine. Paulina then reveals that she wants Tripp to call Chanel and ask her out on a date. Paulina reminds Tripp that they had real sparks. Tripp also remembers Paulina stopping the whole thing. Paulina asks if Tripp is still attracted to Chanel and questions if he’s keeping his distance from her because of Allie. Tripp says that’s part of it and admits he likes Chanel as a friend. Paulina encourages that maybe they could lead to something more than friendship, unless there is someone else. Tripp says he’ll just get her test results. Tripp acknowledges that he heard her question but chose not to answer. Paulina warns that she will hound him until he tells her. Tripp then admits that it’s his roommate Wendy, but she’s seeing Johnny DiMera. Paulina questions if he’s just going to give up and let him have her. Paulina urges Tripp to fight for her. Tripp says that she seems to really like Johnny, but Paulina suggests maybe she likes Tripp more and that it could be fate. Paulina encourages Tripp to tell Wendy how he feels or he may end up regretting that he didn’t for a very long time.

Gabi asks Wendy what the story is with Tripp. Wendy responds that he’s just sharing the rent on the apartment. Gabi says that may be how the chapter started but she saw them in Hong Kong and argues that Tripp never got over her. Wendy blames Gabi’s imagination but Gabi argues that Tripp is a doctor and doesn’t need to live here but he wanted to live with her. Gabi talks about seeing how they are and that Wendy loves living with him. Wendy says they are friends. Gabi brings up how Tripp looks at her and doesn’t think just friends is his choice. Wendy admits she may have flirted with Tripp and Joey in Hong Kong because she liked the attention. Wendy adds that maybe she and Tripp still do it but claims it’s not real and just a game. Gabi says not from where she’s sitting.

Rafe tells Abe that he is not seeing Jada and asks if that’s clear enough. Abe says he’s sorry to push him but it is his job. Rafe says he understands but there is something about the new policy that does bother him and brings up how he was involved with Hope when they were both on the force but no one in the department ever said a word. Abe explains that they were equals and that’s the difference. Abe adds that he would change the rule for him, especially with how things turned out with Nicole, but his hands are tied. Abe tells Rafe to take care and exits.

Jada tells Talia that with the new ruling, she and Rafe could both lose their jobs if they even went to the movies together. Talia calls it interesting that she asked her about a guy and she pulls out the department rulebook, but never said she wasn’t interested in him. Jada questions why they are still talking about this. Talia feels she’s been defensive ever since she brought him up. Jada brings up how her and Rafe’s last relationships ended and says neither one of them are ready to jump in to that anytime soon anyway. Talia asks if she’s sure he feels that way. Jada calls it a bad idea and says when she was with Eric, she was practically stalked by his jealous ex-wife. Jada adds that Rafe divorced his ex because she was screwing her ex-husband. Jada points out that those exes were Nicole and Eric. Jada adds that she doesn’t think her and Rafe having a mutual hatred of Nicole is a good basis for a relationship. Jada asks Talia if they can just drop this and go get some damn dinner as she storms off and Talia then follows her.

Nicole questions Stefan and Melinda about this building up for awhile when Stefan was just saying that Gabi was the only woman for him a few days ago. Stefan admits he did say those things about Gabi and claims that shortly after Nicole left, Gabi got cold feet about getting caught so she must value the DiMera shares more than him. Nicole questions Stefan realizing that he’d be happier with an old fashioned girl like Melinda. Melinda tells Stefan that she had a dream about him last night and whispers it to him which makes him laugh. Stefan tells Nicole that he promised to show Melinda his stamp collection in his room, so he takes her upstairs, leaving Nicole confused.

Li complains to EJ that Gabi lied to him and he couldn’t contradict her without telling her that EJ helped him. Li argues that Stefan played EJ and now he’s playing him, so EJ made him look like an idiot and he doesn’t like it one damn bit. EJ encourages Li to take a breath. EJ insists that Stefan and Gabi will find a way to hook up and they will catch them, they just need to be clever with it. Li tells EJ to go to Hell and questions why he ever partnered with him when he doesn’t want to humiliate Gabi and torpedo the deal. EJ tells Li that he has no chance in hell of getting Gabi back, reminding him of when Gabi found out that Li didn’t tell her that Stefan was alive and tried to brainwash him in to hating her as well as trying to kill him. EJ doesn’t think couples therapy is going to help and his DiMera shares are the only thing he could possibly salvage from their trainwreck marriage. Li argues that he doesn’t give a damn about the shares but it’s all EJ cares about. Li tells EJ to stay the hell away from his marriage and swears that EJ will regret it if he makes one move. Li then storms off.

Jada and Talia have dinner at the Brady Pub. Jada jokes that now she has a chance to trample over Talia’s personal boundaries and ask about her personal life. Talia says it doesn’t look like she’ll have the time as Rafe enters the Pub. Talia then calls Rafe over while Jada tells her not to do this. Talia invites Rafe to join them. Rafe says he was just picking up a to-go order. Jada adds that Rafe probably has plans. Talia argues that he has to eat dinner somewhere so she suggests he eat with them. Talia adds that Jada was just telling her about the fraternization rules, but there are three of them here and nothing could possibly happen with her sister watching. Rafe thanks Talia for the invite and goes to get his food. Jada remarks that she’s going to kill Talia for this.

Paulina hopes Tripp will think about what she said. Tripp doesn’t think she heard a word that he said. Paulina tells Tripp that he’s wrong and making a huge mistake. Paulina recalls when she met Chanel’s father and he was dating someone else, so she almost walked away but then she decided to make her move and she made him very happy while they were together. Paulina adds that Chanel is here now because she knew what was best for everyone. Paulina warns Tripp about ignoring her advice. Tripp asks Paulina if she ever takes advice from someone who cares about her and has experience in the matter. Paulina guesses she walked in to that. Tripp advises her to tell Abe what’s going on because he loves her and knows her so he’ll know she’s keeping something from him and will probably imagine something much worse. Tripp adds that if it’s anxiety related, then keeping a secret is very stressful. Tripp asks how Paulina would feel if Abe was keeping something like this from her. Paulina jokes about it being infuritating to get a lecture from him because he’s right. Tripp tells her that she’s free to get dressed and go. Paulina calls him a good doctor and a good friend as Tripp then exits the room.

Wendy still doesn’t understand why Gabi is so interested in her and Tripp, unless this was a diversion to stop talking about Stefan. Gabi says there is nothing to say about Stefan. Li then comes home. Li greets them and calls them one big happy family. Gabi gets a text and says she has to go talk about her launch. Li questions it being at this hour and offers to go with her. Gabi says she’ll handle it. Li reminds her that he set up the deal. Gabi says she appreciates it but sometimes one on one is better. Gabi then exits. Wendy asks Li what he feels like ordering for dinner. Li claims he just remembered there’s something he has to do and quickly exits.

EJ goes home where Nicole tells him that he won’t believe what she has to tell him. EJ reveals he already knows about Li catching Stefan in bed with Melinda. EJ doesn’t know how Stefan convinced Melidna to play along. Nicole asks if he’s sure they are pretending which EJ questions. Nicole tells him there’s more and informs him that Melinda stopped by and they sat on the couch like horny teenagers then pretended to get carried away and went upstairs where they are continuing to pretend.

In Stefan’s room, Melinda tells him that was fun but asks why they had to do an encore performance for Nicole when EJ is going to tell her about last night. Stefan admits it was a bit of a prologue but tells Melinda how much it meant to him and that he will never forget what she’s done. Melinda tells him to cut to the chase and asks what he wants now. Stefan reveals that he didn’t ask her here to stick it to Nicole, but because he actualy needs her to be his decoy.

Talia points out that Rafe and Jada ordered the same thing and says great minds think alike. Jada jokes that they both just like hamburgers and water. Talia claims she just remembered that she has to call an old colleague to catch up so she’s taking her food with her. Talia tells them to enjoy their burgers and leaves them alone.

Tripp comes home and tells Wendy that he had to cover for Dr. Greenberg. Wendy tells him there is some leftovers in the fridge as Tripp asks if she’s leaving. Wendy mentions that Johnny said something about hanging out with friends in the town square. Tripp asks if it’s a date but Wendy says she just thought she could catch up with him and hang out. Tripp tells her to have fun. Wendy goes to leave but Tripp stops her and says if he doesn’t say this now, he might never. Tripp then informs Wendy that he has feelings for her.

Paulina joins Abe in the town square. Abe hugs her and says he stopped by the office earlier but must have just missed her. Paulina then admits she wasn’t there and she lied to him earlier because she was in the hospital.

EJ and Nicole listen in at Stefan’s bedroom door from the hallway and hear Melinda inside, moaning and exclaiming Stefan’s name, while she’s really just sitting on the bed with a deck of cards.

Stefan sneaks in to the living room and in to the secret tunnels.

Li goes to the Bistro and looks around confused.

Stefan sets up a candle lit dinner and a bed of rose petals in the DiMera wine cellar in the tunnels. Gabi arrives and they immediately begin kissing.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

First thing in the morning, we’re gonna go.

I haven’t seen you all day. Hmm. How did it go with the Salem in last night went great till we locked in

finally. Sorry. I did locked in meetings all day. You my priority. Lucky. So what happened when you caught Gabby and Stefan and bear together? Did you take Becky to mirror shares and kick Gabby to the curb? No, I didn’t. And why not leave? Not only did she break the terms of your agreement, but she betrayed you.

I mean, she slept with another man, was s step, except she didn’t sleep with them.

Hi. Hi. Oh my gosh. You’re back from work. I completely lost track of time.

Are you okay? I’m fine. Just working on my new collection for Saxons, right? Temp. You talk to anyone? Okay. What’s up? Why? Why are you asking me if I’m fine? Why? Why are you asking me if I’ve talked to. Then you don’t know. Don’t know what it’s about. Stephan. Stephan is something wrong. Paul kind of. He’s sleeping with the district attorney.

Come on in. Ah, DH ra. How can I help you? Well, the last time we talked, I told you that if you didn’t hand me an airtight case against Sloan Peterson, my office would have to drop the whole thing. Yeah. Since then, radio silence. So either you are still lining up your evidence or you don’t have the faintest idea who broke into Paulina Price’s office.

Which is it?

Oh, hey. Hey. What’s up? Well, I was wondering where you were. I’m still at the office. I’m still trying to clean up the mess the sled and made when she trashed the place.

Um, I’m gonna be stuck here for, for a while. Sorry.

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

We had to cut Peterson loose after she denied everything, so calling her in here was a Hail Mary. But you hope she’d break down sobbing and admit to everything? Well, actually calling her in is standard operating procedure. In a case like this, you mean a case where you don’t have a shred of evidence? If there’s evidence out there, we’ll find it.

Well shred lightly because if Counselor Peterson decides to sue us for harassment and she is a litigious kind of gal, This one’s on you. We never met.

Always a pleasure, man. Da.

Stephan is sleeping with D Trask. Where did you hear that from? I’m so sorry. This must suck for you. I just, I saw an item about it and lady whistleblowers column, and they spectator, come on. You don’t really believe anything you’re reading in that rag, do you? I mean, the very idea is preposterous. Why are you looking at me that way?

I guess I just, I thought you’d be more upset. I mean, how can you be so sure that it’s not true?

Sorry, just had to send that. Um, No problem. So you were saying Lee walked in, stormed in. It’s more like it. Ever since he left us at the end, I was worried about it happening and EJ assured me that he would have his best people on Lee’s people and he would be kept off the scent. This, this is awful. How did Lee even figure it out?

Look at ejs gonna be furious. He’s gonna be furious. So how ugly did it get? It didn’t get physical, did it? Wow. Not to mention Gabby’s shares. She’s not gonna get any now. She must be a wreck. No, no. Gabby and Lee’s deal is still on. Really? Hmm. Even though he found you in bed with her, Lee found me in bed.

Ooh. Somebody else,

I, I don’t understand. You did go to the Salem in last night, didn’t you? I followed the plan Exactly. I burst in and caught step infl grande. Wait, I thought you said that didn’t sleep together. I did. Gabby wasn’t there. You just said you caught in Infl Grande. What a solo act. No, he wasn’t alone. He was in bed with Melinda Trask.

Melinda Trask, the da. The iron fist in the iron glove, the same. You’re joking. Oh, believe me, this is not a joke. This. This doesn’t make any sense. When Nicole left the room, Gabby was in there with Stephan and you were on your way with the key card that you so thoughtfully provided me because you were helping me, right?

Of course I was. Nicole and I both were. While either your friend Nicole’s lying or somebody pulled a fast one on you, a somebody called Stephan.

I, I’m sorry. S Stephan, I, you’re gonna have to start over. Lee found you in bed with someone other than Gabby. That’s right. But who

you’re here after last night? Wild Horse couldn’t stop me.

So if you really think that Stephan and the DA have a thing, if you really think you turned to her after me, Paul, I mean, he can’t be with you because of the deal you made with my brother and. You have to admit she’s beautiful. Okay, Wendy, let’s get real here for a minute. Leo. Stark lies for a living.

Stephan, Mr. Damara, they pay off das. They don’t sleep with them. All right, so let’s change the subject. Let’s talk about your love life. Yeah. I don’t think Johnny and I have much of a love life. It’s more like a hangout and watch movies life. Yeah, I wasn’t talking about Johnny. I was talking about Tripp.

I’m in the square right now, but I’m happy to wait for you. Oh. Oh, that sounds so very sweet. But I don’t know how long I’ll be, um, I have to run, uh, the man’s here to check the security system. Oh, okay. I’ll let you go then. Love you. Love you too.

Want me to check the security system? Um, about that. Pause. See, I can explain. You see a No, this price look come alone. Come on Paulina. Paulina. Everything that happens in this room is confidential. You don’t have to explain anything to me. Oh, no, no, no. But I want to, um, I’m not lying to my husband. Oh, of course I was.

I flat out lied, but it wasn’t meant to hurt him. It, it was to, to see he worries about me and I don’t want him to, it’s not good for him. Like I said, you don’t have to explain anything to me. Okay. Now, could you, uh, tell me why you’re here? Well, I have an appointment with Dr. Greenberg. I guess he’s running late.

Uh, no, he actually got called into surgery. He asked me to handle your initial workup and. This is Chanel made the appointment for you and when Dr. Greenberg’s a cardiologist, were you experiencing heart palpitations? I thought I was having a heart attack, but, um, Chanel’s new hire, she said it was just a panic attack.

Well, it’s a good thing you came in. I’d much rather you get a diagnosis from a doctor than someone who I, his cakes for a living. Well, Talia Hunter is a great baker, but she also happens to be a full-fledged doctor. Doctor.

Oh, well good evening, detective. It’s, it’s nice to see you. I’m off duty. Why not call me Jada. Okay, Jada, you know, I’ve been hearing really good things about your work. I love my job. And has Commissioner Hernandez been treating you right? Oh, absolutely. He’s a great boss. Yeah. That’s good to hear. Mm-hmm. You have a nice night.

You too.

So you’re up work. It’s not work if you love it. I just made a strudel that was a masterpiece. If I do say so. You know, it’s, it’s kind of weird hearing a doctor, well, X doctor be so happy to triple their customer’s cholesterol levels. Look, I know you think I’m wasting my medical degree, but once a doctor, always a doctor, whatever, you say, oh, you don’t believe me.

Ask my boss’s mother. She’ll tell you, just today I performed a medical miracle.

So you performed a medical miracle? Yes. Chanel’s mother was convinced she was having a heart attack, and I diagnosed it as a panic attack. Wow. You know, that’s right up there with the loaves and fishes. You always minimize my achievements. I’ve always spoke very highly of your cupcakes. The works of art.

Huh? You know, I just see Paulina having a panic attack. That Peterson woman is just dedicated to ruining her life and Chanel’s. So what’s happening with that investigation? It’s ongoing. Oh, you’ve got fuck Kiss, right? You want me to dish your little hot cross buns? Look, ongoing means first thing in the morning.

We’re gonna go through everything we have and find some hard evidence to. Counselor Sloan Peterson in a cell where she belongs first thing tomorrow. Uh huh So that means you’re off tonight. Yeah. So what are you gonna do? Get some takeout, watch tv. You know, life in the fast lane. Hmm. Okay. Stop. Let me ask you this.

When’s the last time you’ve been on a date since that X, please. Five. Your silence speaks volumes. Girl, you need to get back out. What about that hunky cop guy that I always see you with? Hmm. Sean’s my partner and he’s married. No, I’m not talking about him. I’m talking about your boss, the Hernandez guy.

Hmm. Hey, commissioner. Hello, Mr. Mayor. Check in, see if there’s anything new on the break here, and call me the sauce. Yeah, well, unfortunately we didn’t have enough evidence on Peterson to hold her, but Jada and I will start over tomorrow. Jada Hunter, right? Mm-hmm. I just ran into her. Yeah. So how’s she doing over here?

Great. Terrific instincts and, uh, getting better every day. See you like it? Yes. Did I not make that clear? I didn’t mean professionally. There’s nothing going on between the two of you. Is there, so, uh oh. Where’s this coming from? I know the rules that would violate your new policy, uh, superiors and subordinates getting involved.

Yes, yes, it would. Mm-hmm. Now, I don’t mean to drag this out, RA, but I still haven’t heard a denial commission. Now are you or are you not romantically interested in one of your detectives?

So Stephanie figured it out. He went along with us setting him and Gavi up, and then at the last minute he got Melinda Tross to play his love interest, hard to understand how he could penetrate such a subtle cunning plot. And the hell did he get trust to go along. You think that’s the important issue?

Not only did I look like a fool last night, but Stefan and Gabby now know that I’m onto them. She said that No, she’s sticking to the script. She said she saw through Nicole and that the Dememer shares mean more to her than Stefan does. She said all that with a straight face. Thanks to you, Mr. Damara. I can’t help but think that Stephanie and Gabby now have the upper hand.

No, I don’t know about that. I mean, just how long can they keep up the Shirad?

So is there anything more wonderful than love’s first bloom?

So me, uh, when did you two first, you know, Connect home. Say it’s been building for quite some time. Brewing like a percolator. Like a geyser ready to blow. How vivid. So anyway, last night fit blue, right? Maybe I’ll face here in a cold, but. You don’t seem very happy for us.

So value was right. It was just a panic attack. So far it looks that way. Uh, but Dr. Greenberg’s still gonna gonna look at these results himself and make his own determination. Uh, but if it was a panic attack, we can give you the names of people who.

So I heard you’re sleeping in my daughter’s bed. Yeah, I have, uh, Chanel’s old room at the apartment. Wish she was still there. Uh, I don’t think she does. I have a lot of bad memories there for her. Hmm. Probably, right? I was just thinking, um, maybe you can do something else from me when you’re finished with that report.

Uh, and what would.

I know you know that Allie, Brooke Chanel’s heart, I mean last year was tough enough on her with that horrible Peterson woman attacking us, and now she’s worried about me, my health. You want me to call her and let her know that your e kg looked good? Actually, I want you to ask her on the date. Uh, the other thing about the thing about it now, yo, you too, you had sparks and they were real, remember?

Yes. And I also remember that you kind of put the kibosh on the whole thing really? Well, that just doesn’t sound like me. Well, anyway, you’re still attracted to her, right? Well, and so, you know, so my question is, well, are you keeping your distance from her because of Allie? That’s part of it. Yes. And uh, and I do like Chanel as a friend.

Well, maybe it could lead to something more than friendship. Something a lot more fun than friendship. Unless, is there someone else, you know, I’m gonna get these results to Dr. Greenberg and you can call us office some morning. Okay. Who is it? I, I, I heard you. I just chose not to answer. I’ll hound you till you tell me.

You know, I will.

This is my roommate, Wendy, but she’s seen Giant, the mirror. So you just gonna step back, seed her to him? Oh no, you’ve gotta fight back. But I don’t think you understand. She seems to really like him. Maybe she likes you more. Oh, doctor, remember faith hearts nail one fairy lady, I’m telling you. Tell her how you feel, or you may end up regretting that you didn’t for a very long time.

Okay. Trip. So what’s the story? Yeah, the story is that he’s sharing the rent on this place. Okay. That may be how the story started. No. How this chapter in this story started, but I saw you two in Hong Kong. He and Joey were like two stallions Pauling at the ground. Oh. So I was the prize mayor. How flattering.

And he never got over you. Yeah, you have a very vivid imagination. If you’re obtuse, good God. He’s a doctor. He doesn’t need roommates. He wanted to live here. He wanted to live with you. And I’ve seen the way you two are finishing each other’s sentences. It’s pretty obvious. You wanna Okay. You love living it with him.

We’re friends. Yeah. Well, I, I’ve seen the way he looks at you. I think just friends. It’s not his choice. Okay. Hong Kong, he and Joey were two stallions pawing the ground. That was classic male sibling rivalry. And you know, I played the game because I like the attention. Flirting. Then yeah, trip and I still play the same game, but still it’s holiday.

It’s, it’s not real. It’s, it’s just a cane. Not from where I’m sitting.

Okay. Um, well then let’s rewind, shall we? Uh, I am not seeing Jada. Is that clear enough? It is, it is. It is. Look, I, I’m sorry to push you like this, but it is my job and I understand it. I. Well, since we’re talking, there is something about the new policy that does bother me and that’s, um, well, hope and I, we were both involved while we were on the force.

At first when things started, she was my boss, and then later on I was hers. Um, but, uh, no one in the department, even though they knew about what was happening, ever said a word. Well, when the two of you were seeing each other, you were. You are equals, and that’s the difference. Look, great. I changed the rule for you, especially now with how things turned out with Nicole, but

my hands are tight. Right. Thank you. Okay. Take care, Monday. Yeah, thanks.

So given the new rolling, Ray and I can both lose our jobs, even if we so much just go to the movies together. Hmm. Interesting. I ask you about a great looking guy and all you can do is quote the departmental rule book and you never not say you’re not in. Why are we still talking about this? Because you’ve been defensive ever since I brought him up.

Look, even if I was interested, he just got off of a really bad divorce and my last relationship pretty much ended like the Hindenburg. So neither one of us is ready to jump into that pool anytime soon. Are you sure he feels that way? Look, it’s bad idea no matter how you slice it. When I was with Eric, I was practically stalked by his jealous ex-wife.

Ugh. I hated her. And then did I mention race divorce? Well, he divorced his wife because she was growing her ex-husband. Oh, and did I mention that his ex-wife was Nicole and the ex-husband that she was screwing was Eric, my ex. So I’m sorry, but I don’t think that both of us being unemployed or having a mutual hatred for Nicole Walker is a good basis for a romantic relationship.

So, so can we just drop this and just go get some damn dinner?

So this geyser you’re talking about has been building up for a while. That’s right. Mm-hmm. And yet, just the other day, you were saying how Gabby was the only woman for you. Oh, sorry. District attorney Trask. Maybe that was indiscreet. And I know how you treasure discretion, Ms. Hernandez, or whatever your name is.

Now, you know, Nicole, you’re right. Being confused like this. I, I did say those things about Gabby, but, well, it’s just now occurring to me that, uh, I was feeling reminiscent for feelings that Gabby and I once had for each other once upon a time. Sadly, or I don’t know, maybe. Luckily that image was shattered last night.

See, shortly after you left, Gabby got cold feet. She was afraid we were gonna get caught, and

turns out she values those damn shares more than she does me.

So the scales fell off your eyes and you realized you’d be happier with a. Old fashioned girl like Melinda here, DIR like, actually I see our relationship is anything but dir. Stefan, did I tell you I had a dream about you last night?

You know, it just occurred to me that I promised Melinda I would show her. Stamp collection in my room right next to your etchings. So if you’ll excuse us, I cannot wait to show you my inverted dunman. Ooh. And it is inverted. Let me tell you.

Maybe she could lick it.

What? Gabby lied to me, practically daring me to contradict her, and of course I couldn’t without telling her that you. Your brother played you and now he’s playing me. You made me look like an idiot and I don’t like it. Ej not one damn bit. Take a breath. Take a breath. Look, we both know those two are going to find a way to hook up and we’ll catch them.

I promise you. We just need to be more clever about all this. What you need to do is go. Why did I ever get involved with you in the first place? I, I don’t want to humiliate Gabby and torpedo the deal. I want her, you don’t have Exxons in hell. Of getting her back. You remember your wedding where she found out that you not only didn’t tell her about the love of her life and that he was alive, that you actually tried to brainwash him into hating her, and there was something else as well.

Um, what was it? Oh, that’s right. You tried to kill him. I don’t think couples therapy is going to help her. Damir shares are the only thing that you could possibly salvage from that train wreck you call a marriage. You are wrong. I don’t give a damn about those shares, but that’s all you care about. So you stay the hell away from my marriage.

You make one move, I swear you’re gonna regret it.

Well, this is nice. Now I have a chance to trample over your personal boundaries and tell you how to live your life.

Oops. Sorry. Doesn’t look like you have time. Commissioner Hernandez over here. Don’t do this. Hey, well this is nice. You should join. Yeah, I was actually just picking up it to go. Yeah. Told you the commissioner probably has plans for tonight. He has to eat dinner somewhere. Right. Go get your food and eat with us.

Well, um, so, um, Jada was just telling me about those anti delian fraternization rules. Wow. That was a mouthful. But there are three of us. And come on, what could possibly happen with her sister watching this is the shy sister. Right. Well, thanks for the invite. I’ll be right back. I’m going to kill you. He seems like a Sagittarius.

Whatever you do, just don’t be too pushy. They hate that.

I hope you’ll think about what I said, and I don’t think you heard a word that I said because, and I say this with a love and affection. You were wrong. Meaning I didn’t agree with you. Meaning you are making a huge mistake. I remember when I met Chanel’s father, oh. I was immediately smitten. Oh, wow. But he was dating someone else and I, I almost walked away.

I decided, well, you can’t win the game if you don’t get on the field. So I made my move, Paulina, no. Shrinking by like you took action. It’s a damn good thing I did. I made that man very happy in our time together and Chanel’s here because as usual, well actually as always, I knew what was best for everyone.

So ignore my advice at your own peril.

Now, can I ask you a question? Mm-hmm. Do you ever take any advice, advice from someone who not only cares about you, but actually has some experience in the matter at hand? Mm. I walked right in on that one, didn’t I? Oh, tell a what’s going on. And I understand you don’t want him to worry, but he not only loves you, he, he knows you.

I know you’re keeping something. And he’ll probably imagine something much worse. Someone’s actually happening. And if this is anxiety related, then keeping a secret is very, very stressful. And think about it, you know, how would you feel if a was keeping someone like this from you? And another thing like, hell no, no, I, I don’t need another thing.

Oh, it’s. It’s irritating to get a lecture from a 12 year old, but it’s infuriating if he’s right. Well, I wasn’t lecturing, I was just, you know, thinking out loud. Why can’t I get dressed and go while you have some more thinking out loud to do? No, you are free to get dressed and go. You’re a good doctor and you are a good friend.

You know, I still don’t understand why you’re so interested in me and Tripp, unless this was a diversionary tactic. So we’d stop talking about Stephen. There’s nothing to say about Stephan.

Sorry, I gotta deal with this. Hey honey, come home. You’re here too because I, uh, live here and we’re just one big happy family, right Gabby? Hi Lee. I gotta go delay. I was hoping for a cozy night at home. I just got a text from David Stack and he wants to talk about the launch at this hour. Hmm. That sound very considerate.

Would you like me to go with you? It’s the bistro, right? Yeah, but stay I’ll, I’ll handle it, but I’m the one who set up the deal. Yeah. And I appreciate it, but sometimes, uh, one-on-one is better.

Well, I was uh, gonna order in. So what do you feel like on a one-on-one? Huh? Sorry. Um, I just remembered there’s something I gotta do. Don’t wait up.

Oh, you better get yourself a drink cuz you’re not gonna believe when I’m about to tell you that. Lee called Stephan and the district attorney in bed together last night. Trust me, I’ve. But there’s more. Ugh. What I don’t understand is how in the hell he talked, trust pretending to be his lover. Are you sure they’re pretending?

What? Well, about a half hour ago, Melinda just paid a little visit and then they sat on the couch pretending to be a couple of foreign teenagers, and then pretended to get carried away and went upstairs to his room where? Right about now they’re pretending away.

Well, that was fun. But I still don’t get it. Uh, EJ is gonna tell Nicole about last night. I don’t get why we had to do encore performance for her benefit. Okay. You’re right. That was a little more of a prologue, but you know how much I appreciate your help and I will never forget what you’ve done. Okay.

Cut to the chase. What do you want now? I did not ask you here to stick it to Nicole. Melinda actually needs you to be my decoy.

Well, would you look at that? You guys ordered the same thing. Wow. Great ones. Think I like. Yes, Talia. It is just momentous that RA and I both like hamburgers. God, maybe we both like water, right? Oh my God. I just realized I have to call an old colleague tonight. She’s on the East coast and I wanna catch her before she goes to bed.

I’m gonna take this with me. Enjoy your burgers.

Finally, it must be famished. Uh, yeah. It was covered for Dr. Greenberg. Right. Well, there’s still some chili in the fridge. You can nuke it. Are you leaving? Yeah. Johnny said something about hanging out with friends in the square. A date? No, I just thought I could catch up with him. Hang out. Okay. Well have fun.

Alright. Enjoy the chili. Hey Wendy. Wait. Uh oh. Is something wrong? Yeah. Uh, no. Um, well, Won’t be if I just say this, cuz if I don’t say this now, I might not ever will say what I, uh, have feelings for you.

Oh, hey. Oh. Mm-hmm. I stopped by the office earlier, but I, I guess I just missed you. Oh, well. I wasn’t there. I lied to you before. Okay. I wasn’t at the office. I was in the hospital.

Oh, Stephan. Oh, baby. Mm yes. Uh mm. Ah. Ooh. Ah, yes.

It seems like the time is

blind ambition.

Update written by Joseph

Brady and Rachel are at the Brady Pub. Rachel talks about what dessert she wants while Brady brings up how Rachel stole his phone and called an uber to see Kristen in prison, noting that she scared him half to death. Rachel suggests celebrating that she is okay. Brady tells her that he actually has some really great news to share with her. Brady reminds her of when he told her that Marlena went to Heaven. Brady reveals that it tusn out that she didn’t.

Eric informs Sloan that his mother is alive. Sloan doesn’t believe him and asks if he’s been drinking but Eric assures he’s sober and saw Marlena with his own eyes. Sloan is shocked and asks how this is even possible. Eric admits he’s not sure and the details are fuzzy. Eric says he’s blown away. Sloan asks if Marlena is okay and not hurt. Eric confirms she is and just needs to rest after being through a lot.

John checks on Marlena as she reads her book while taking a bubble bath and then they kiss.

Leo goes to he and Gwen’s room at the Salem Inn and walks in on Gwen in bed with Alex. Gwen questions him not knocking while Leo argues that she could’ve put the do not disturb sign on the door. Gwen thought he was working. Leo says he was which is why he needs to talk to her now, because it’s about Xander.

Chanel is in the town square, making a doctor’s appointment on the phone. Xander walks by and overhears her, so he asks if everything is alright. Chanel explains that the appointment is not for her, but for her mother who thought she was having a heart attack yesterday. Xander says he hopes Paulina is alright. Chanel says she is and it turned out to just be a panic attack, but she’s afraid about Paulina not getting her stress levels down. Xander asks why her stress levels are up. Chanel informs him that it’s because of Sloan’s vendetta against them and says that Sloan has worked Paulina up in to a frenzy.

Paulina goes to Sloan’s apartment and knocks on the door, yelling for her to open up the damn door. Sloan answers and asks what the hell she wants. Paulina shows her the note found in her office with pasted letters that reads “This Isn’t Over Bitch”

Xander asks Chanel why Sloan hasn’t been arrested if she ransacked Paulina’s office. Chanel explains that they brought her for questioning but she denied it and there’s no evidence. Xander asks why Chanel is so sure that Sloan did it. Chanel brings up that it happened right after their lawyer got Sloan’s civil case dismissed and then Sloan swore revenge on them. Chanel adds that the police warned Sloan that they would be keeping an eye on her. Xander encourages that maybe she’ll back off and it will finally be over. Chanel says she hopes so.

Paulina tells Sloan that she is done with making threats. Sloan mocks Paulina as if she was delivering the note to her. Paulina argues that Sloan left the note for her, not the other way around. Paulina warns that if Sloan doesn’t drop her vicious vendetta against her and Chanel, she will ruin her.

Rachel questions what Brady means by saying Marlena didn’t go to Heaven. Brady informs her that Marlena is alive and it turns out that she never really died. Chloe walks in and asks if she heard that right that Marlena is alive.

Marlena and John kiss until he falls in to the bathtub with her with his clothes on and they laugh.

Paulina continues to accuse Sloan of trashing her office and leaving her the note. Eric asks what makes her so sure it was Sloan. Paulina calls it obvious. Sloan points out that she has no evidence and denies doing either thing. Eric informs Paulina that he believes Sloan. Paulina calls him a bigger fool than she thought then. Paulina remarks that Eric’s mother would be rolling over in her grave if she heard him defending Sloan. Eric responds that she actually wouldn’t be rolling over in her grave. Paulina argues that she’s known Marlena longer. Eric then clarifies that Marlena is alive.

Marlena and John continue kissing in the bathtub.

Xander tells Chanel that Paulina should be glad that she has her looking out for her. Chanel thanks him for saying that. Xander brings up that Paulina was his mother in law once for about 24 hours. Chanel doesn’t recall there being any love lost between them. Xander admits it wasn’t his finest hour and apologizes for whatever he put her through. Chanel calls it no big deal and acknowledges that he was still in love with Sarah. Chanel tells Xander that she’s sorry that didn’t work out. Xander tells her the same about her and Johnny, then more recently her and Allie. Xander says he was rooting for them and calls them Salem’s favorite bisexuals which makes Chanel laugh. Xander comments that they seemed very happy and in love, so he was surprised when Allie left town so quickly. Chanel reveals that was right after Allie slept with Alex Kiriakis, which shocks Xander.

Gwen and Alex get out of bed and get dressed. Gwen apologizes to Alex and hopes he’s not upset. Alex says he has to get to work anyway. Leo tells Alex not to leave on his account but Alex says that’s exactly what he’s doing. Leo takes a photo of Alex, so he warns him to keep it out of his gossip column. Leo says he will keep it in his private collection while Gwen adds that she’ll make sure the photo never sees the light of day. Gwen says she’ll see Alex later as he kisses her goodbye and then exits. Leo excitedly asks Gwen if she and Alex are back in the saddle. Gwen asks what Leo had to tell her about Xander. Leo sits with her and says it’s harsh news so he won’t enjoy this. Leo then informs Gwen that he thinks Xander is hooking up with Chloe.

Chloe excitedly hugs Brady and says Marlena being alive is the most exciting news. Brady says he was just telling Rachel how much they have to celebrate. Chloe says he must be so relieved along with John, Eric, and Belle. Chloe hugs Brady again and says she’s so happy for him and his family. Brady agrees with celebrating and has Chloe join their table but Rachel says over her dead body.

Gwen questions Leo about Xander and Chloe. Leo says he saw them outside the Pub together earlier which Gwen mocks. Leo admits he didn’t catch them in bed together but says it looked pretty intimate to him. Leo then reveals the photo he took of Xander and Chloe hugging.

Brady tells Rachel that she will have to share but Chloe says it’s fine. Chloe suggests they each get their own ice cream sundae. Brady says that sounds perfect but Rachel says it doesn’t to her. Rachel declares that she doesn’t mind sharing with Brady, but it’s Chloe that she doesn’t want to share with.

Xander questions Chanel about Alex being the reason she and Allie broke up. Chanel admits she forgot Alex was Xander’s cousin and apologizes. Xander says he should be apologizing and calls Alex a narcissistic man whore who can’t keep his hands off other people’s people. Xander continues to complain about Alex. Chanel says she had no idea he hated Alex so much. Xander asks what’s not to hate and remarks that Alex has only been back in town for a couple months and his conquests already outnumber his. Chanel guesses that’s not counting her. Xander asks if she’s serious. Chanel admits she was curious and that Alex definitely lives up to the hype. Xander says she’s not helping, so she apologizes. Chanel asks why Xander is taking this personal. Xander responds that it his personal because Alex’s latest conquest is Gwen. Xander complains that Alex moved in on Gwen when she was at her most vulnerable and he just loves rubbing it in his face at every opportunity. Alex then walks by and says another opportunity has presented itself. Xander stands up and warns Alex to be careful unless he wants a matching black eye.

John and Marlena lay in bed together. Marlena is on the phone with her daughter Carrie and says it’s so good to talk to her. Marlena tells her to tell Austin how sorry they are about Kate and that she’ll call him in a few days. Marlena says she loves her and hangs up. Marlena tells John how good it was to hear Carrie’s voice. John knows she’s thinking about Kate now. Marlena says Kayla too and she hopes this business with Thomas Banks pans out. John says to let him worry about that as he has no idea that Hope and Steve will find Kayla. Marlena says it’s so good to be home, almost like this whole thing never happened as it’s so hard to believe all of it. Marlena just wishes that Belle and Eric could sort out their issues. John acknowledges that they are still at each other’s throats. Marlena says they were getting along so well. John feels Eric’s just been in a bad way since thinking they lost Marlena along with ending things with Nicole. John hopes now that Marlena is back, things will turn around for Eric. Marlena hopes so too but wonders what caused this whole thing and if it’s about when Eric took a swing at Shawn. John explains that it was about the situation between Sloan and Paulina. John talks about Belle getting Sloan’s civil suit thrown out which Marlena argues is Belle’s job. John points out that Eric didn’t see it that way since he’s still in a relationship with Sloan. Marlena questions that still going on. John confirms that’s why Eric and Belle are on opposite sides, but now that the lawsuit is dead, he hopes they can move on.

Paulina is shocked to learn that Marlena is still alive and argues that maybe now Marlena can talk some sense in to Eric to get him away from Sloan. Sloan tells Paulina to get the hell out of her home. Paulina warns that she’s not done with her by a longshot and quotes the note in saying “This isn’t over, bitch”. Paulina then exits the apartment.

Alex tells Xander that what happens between he and Gwen is none of his business. Xander responds that he’s making it his business because he knows Alex is just going to hurt her, while he actually cares about her. Alex asks if that’s why he called Gwen his sloppy seconds. Xander calls Alex a serial bed hopper and argues that he’s not good enough for Gwen by a long shot, so he’s not going to just stand by and watch him take advantage of her. Alex brings up that he just left Gwen’s bed after making love to her for the third time today. Chanel intervenes and tells them to just stop it. Alex thanks her for being the voice of reason. Chanel says she doesn’t want to get caught in the middle of a fight in the town square but assures Alex that she is not on his side. Alex thought they were friends. Chanel questions if friends sleep with each other’s girlfriends behind their backs. Alex tells Chanel that he’s sincerely sorry for everything that happened with Allie and says she deserves better. Alex promises to do everything he can to repair their friendship but says this thing with Gwen is entirely different because he’s not breaking up any happy homes and she and Xander are not together. Alex argues that Xander doesn’t even want Gwen and just doesn’t want anyone else to have her. Xander says he just doesn’t want Alex to have her. Alex brings up that Xander already broke Gwen’s heart once and says that if he really cares about her, he needs to get out of her life and let her be happy with somebody else.

Gwen tells Leo that Chloe was probably just grateful that Xander pulled his hateful article about her. Leo knows she wants to believe that but he doesn’t think it looks like a platonic hug. Leo implies that Chloe and Xander will sleep together and that’s why Xander pulled his article. Leo tells Gwen to face the facts so she can heal and move on. Leo declares that Chloe will be Xander’s next conquest. Gwen argues that he is wrong because Chloe is not Xander’s type and Chloe only has eyes for Brady. Leo insists that Chloe and Brady won’t work out because Chloe called Brady’s daughter a monster. Leo states that Brady might not know she said it yet, but once you hate the offspring and the offspring hate you, the relationship is doomed.

Brady tells Rachel that’s enough and reminds her about Kristen’s letter, telling her to be nice to Chloe and to give her a chance. Rachel argues that Kristen only wrote that letter because Brady made her. Brady questions Kristen telling her that. Rachel responds that she didn’t, but he just did. Chloe tells Rachel that she understands why she wants her parents to live together. Chloe says that was all she wanted when she was Rachel’s age. Chloe encourages that her parents do love her as well as her grandparents, uncles, cousins, and her too. Rachel asks if Chloe is crossing her fingers behind her back. Chloe shows that she’s definitely not. Chloe reminds Rachel that they used to be really close at one point and she wants that for them again. Chloe reveals that she got her a peace offering of stickers. Rachel responds that she grew out of stickers and tosses them aside. Rachel screams that she doesn’t take bribes and accuses Chloe of lying about loving her. Rachel shouts that Chloe hates her as much as she hates Chloe. Chloe then angrily gives in and admits that she does hate her.

Gwen doesn’t think it’s true that a relationship can’t work out because of the offspring. Gwen relates to hating her mother’s boyfriends. Gwen decides she’s going to get something to eat and then go to the office. Leo says he will stay here and work on his story about Xander and Chloe’s grand romance. Gwen tells him not to waste his time because she’s not printing that story. Leo argues that it just means that Gwen’s plan is working as Xander is so jealous of her and Alex, that he’s throwing himself at Chloe to make her jealous. Gwen says she’s being a good friend to him because if she prints that, Xander will fire him. Leo argues that Xander made a unilateral decision to not print his last article, so she can make a unilateral decision to print this one since it is her family paper after all. Gwen questions why he’s so determined to run this. Leo complains that he has nothing else and his deadline is in two hours. Gwen feels he’s reaching for a story that isn’t there and she doesn’t want Chloe to sue her. Gwen tells Leo to just think of something else to write. Gwen remarks that in Salem, people come back from the dead and get possessed by the Devil, so she’s sure he’ll think of something. Gwen then exits the room.

Chloe apologizes to Rachel and says she never meant to say that. Rachel says it’s too late, she already did. Brady tells Rachel they are going home. Rachel wants to see Marlena anyway. Chloe tries to apologize to Brady. Brady says it’s okay and they’ll talk about it later as he takes Rachel and leaves the Pub.

Sloan complains to Eric about Paulina harassing her in her own home. Sloan says she should call the cops on her but it wouldn’t do any good since Rafe and Jada have made it pretty clear they are on team Paulina. Sloan repeats to Eric that she did not send the letter to Paulina. Eric points out that he just defended her. Sloan feels that he’s still wondering if she did it but Eric says that her saying she didn’t do it is enough for him. Eric then points out that Sloan did say she wants to take out revenge against Chanel and Paulina. Sloan assures that she does, but it won’t be some anonymous letter with cutout letters from a magazine. Sloan declares that when she comes for them, they will damn well know it’s her.

Chanel tells Xander and Alex to break it up. Chanel can’t believe she’s saying this but they don’t get to decide who Gwen wants to be with as that is up to her. Paulina approaches and questions what is going on here. Alex says he was just leaving and walks away. Xander says the same and tells Paulina to take care as he walks off. Paulina questions what that was all about. Chanel calls it just men being men and reminding her how lucky she is that she has other options. Chanel asks how Paulina is feeling. Paulina admits she had a little trouble sleeping after what she found in her office and shows Chanel the note with pasted on letters. Chanel guesses it was Sloan. Paulina calls her pathetic and predictable. Paulina mentions that she just came back from confronting Sloan, who denied it. Chanel worries that she shouldn’t be confronting anybody until she has a clean bill of health. Chanel informs Paulina that she just scheduled her a doctor’s appointment at 3:30 because it’s important. Paulina argues that she can’t let the note go unanswered and insists she’s fine, feeling healthy and strong. Chanel encourages that the appointment will be quick and easy then or else she’ll have her own panic attacks from worrying about her. Paulina reluctantly agrees to go then and walks away. Chanel keeps hold of the note and walks off.

John and Marlena have strawberries and cream in bed until John accidentally spills the bowl of whipped cream. Marlena says she had enough anyway but not enough of him as they kiss.

Brady brings Rachel home. Rachel says she wants to see Marlena. Brady says she will see her later but for now, she’s going to her room. Rachel questions Brady punishing her when Chloe is the one who said she hates her. Brady assures that Chloe didn’t mean it but Rachel says she did and asks why he’s not mad at her.

Xander goes to the Brady Pub and finds Chloe drinking at the bar. Xander asks if she’s alright as she looks like she lost her best friend. Chloe responds that she just did. Xander thought things were looking up for her and Brady since he killed Leo’s story. Chloe informs him that Brady didn’t need to read about her badmouthing his daughter because she told Rachel that she hated her right in front of him. Xander says he’s so sorry. Chloe complains that Rachel was being so awful to her but she can’t believe those words just flew out of her mouth and now there’s nothing she can do to take them back. Alex relates to having a terrible day as well since his cousin is still screwing his ex and taking every chance to rub his face in it. Chloe says it sounds like he could use a drink too and invites him to sit with her. Xander asks if she’s sure as he doesn’t want to impose but Chloe says she could use the company. Xander knows she’s loved Brady since she was a teenager so she can’t let this terror come between them. Chloe cries that she doesn’t know how Brady could forgive her after what she said. Chloe thinks it might be over and questions how it could not be. Xander hugs Chloe and tells her it’s going to be okay as she cries. Gwen then enters the Pub and sees them hugging.

Leo wonders what the hell to put in his column. Chanel then shows up at the door. Leo hopes she brought him some treats from the bakery. Chanel responds that she has a scoop for him and hands him the note.

Eric asks if Sloan has any idea who is targeting Paulina if not her. Sloan responds that a woman like Paulina makes enemies for breakfast and if the police would just do their job. Sloan then picks up her laptop and declares she should just file a restraining order herself. Eric notices that when Sloan picked up her laptop, underneath it was a stack of magazines with a pair of scissors.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

So Sprinkles or chocolate fudge. What do you think, daddy? What do I think? I think I probably shouldn’t be rewarding you with a treat right now given that you stole my phone and then you skipped school and then we took an Uber to Statesville. You know you scared your dad half to death. But don’t you wanna celebrate that?

I’m okay. Yes, I wanna, I’m very, very happy that you’re okay, sweetie, but I have some really great news to share with you. Actually. What is it? Do you remember? When I told you that, uh, grandma Marano went to heaven, well, it turns out she didn’t go to heaven. After all your mother’s alive,

have you been drinking? No. I’m, I’m totally sober. I saw it with my very own eyes. My God. I mean, how is this even possible? I’m not sure. I mean, the detail’s a little fuzzy, and right now I’m a little blown away. But I mean, Abby does not even begin to describe how I’m feeling, and she’s okay. She wasn’t hurt or anything?

No, she, she’s okay. I mean, she’s been through a lot. She just, she just needs some rest in tlc. But my stepdad, John, he’ll make sure she gets plenty of that. So how’s your spa day? It is divine. Thank you so much in the book. It’s great. Margaret Atwood my favorite. You know that. I do know that. And I also know you have been waiting three months to finish that book.

Well worth the wait. Nice. Now I want you to know. I been leading three months to do this.

Oh my God, Anita. Yeah. Whoopsy yard knocking. Oh, don’t get snarky with me. You could have put the do not disturb sign on the door. I thought you were working. I was. Which is what I need to talk to you about, but no. Yes. Now it’s about Sander.

Is there any way Dr. Greenberg can squeeze us in today? A cancellation at three 30. Oh, perfect. We’ll take it. Thank you. Thank you so much. Right. See you then. Hi. Hey. Um, sorry I couldn’t help but overhearing Dr. Greenberg’s, a friend of Sarah’s. She’s a cardiologist if my memory serves, she is. Yeah. Is everything okay?

It, the appointment isn’t for me, it’s for my mother. She thought she was having a heart attack yesterday. Oh God. Oh, she’s all right. Yeah, she is. Thankfully. Um, it turned out to just be a panic attack. I’m afraid that if mama doesn’t get her stress levels down, she’s gonna stroke out or so. And she’s stressing it because because of that horrible Sloan Peterson and her vendetta against us, that woman has worked.

Mama up into a frenzy. Sloane Peterson. Open up this damn door. Who’s that Paul Price. I know that bellowing anywhere.

What the hell is it that you want?

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

Sorry, I don’t understand. If this, uh, Sloan, Peterson person did ransack your mother’s office, then why haven’t the. Arrest. Well, they brought her in for questioning and of course she totally denied it and there’s no evidence against her, so, so if there’s no evidence, why you so sure she did it? Well, let’s see.

It happened right after our lawyer got Sloan civil case dismissed, and then Sloan swore revenge on my mom and me. Oh, I see. Yep. And then the. They told her that uh, they’d be keeping an eye on her and that she’d be disbarred if she did anything else destructive. Last something, Elise, you know, maybe she’ll back off now and this will finally be over.

Oh God. How I hope so. This isn’t over, bitch. You are right. This is not because you are done with making these damn threats. Do you hear me? Do you understand me? Not that you deserve it, but I’m gonna offer you a little lawyerly advice free of charge. Usually when people deliver stuff like this, it’s uh, anonymously.

You’d have been better just slipping it under my door or putting it in the mail. So if you insist on doing something like this in person, just make sure there’s not a witness around. What are you rambling on about? You know, damn well it was you who left me this little note, not the other way around. And I’m here to tell you that if you can tell you this vision’s vendetta against me and my daughter, I will ruin you.

What are you telling me, dad? What do you mean Grandma didn’t go to heaven? Because she’s, she’s alive, honey. Cuz it turns out your, your grandma Marlena. She never, she never really died. Oh my God. Brady did I hear that? Did you see that Marlena’s alive?

I felt this was meant to be a relaxing spa day. Well, it’s included in the couple’s package, but if just rather read your book. Oh no, not on your life. Ah,

Oh.

Excuse me, but I didn’t invite you in just like I didn’t invite you into my office, but you still sneaked your way in there to trash to the place and leave me. This makes you so sure that was from Sloan. Isn’t it obvious Lord, even a blind man can see a stuff like this as a grimy little fingerprints all over it.

Do you even have one shred of evidence? Of course not. Just like you have zero evidence that I’m the one who vandalized your office because I didn’t do either one of those things. Oh, yeah, yeah. And I got a bridge in Brooklyn. I’d like to sell you also Obama, just to point out. But, um, there’s a column missing between over and Bitch, you see.

And I would just never make such a punctuation trap. Oh god sake. Ms. Price. Sloan informed me that she wasn’t anywhere near your office when it was broken into it, and I believe her. Oh, really? Well then you are a bigger fool than I thought. And you know, but let me tell you, Eric Grady, Ooh, your mother would be rolling over how grave she could hear how you defending this woman, not to mention whatever else had you doing with her.

Actually, she, she wouldn’t be rolling over in her grave. What I’ve known Marlan since before. You were a twinkle in your father’s eye, and I assure you she would not approve of this for one second. No. No. You don’t understand. She wouldn’t be rolling over in her grave because she’s not in her grief. She’s alive.

My gosh, are you hungry? Sorry, I don’t know the answer to this one, but I’m learning heart speeding check and all the other important parts are working just fine. Oh, sorry. I’m not sorry at all. Okay, well then if you’re not sorry. I’m not sorry either.

Your mother should be glad that she has you looking out for her. I mean, I do hope she’ll be all right. Thanks. It’s nice of you to say, well, Paulina was my mother-in-law. Yeah. For about 24 hours. But during that 24 hours, I don’t recall any love loss between the two. Or the two of us for that night, not mine.

Finest hour. Right. Apologize again for whatever I put you through. Mm. It was no big deal. And for you, well, you were still in love with Sarah. Mm. I’m sorry. Things didn’t work out. Likewise for you enjoying tomorrow and more recently, his twin sister. You know, I was rooting for you guys. Salem’s favorite bisexuals.

I didn’t know there wasn’t contest. I just mean that, I don’t know. You guys seem very happy, very much in love. I’m surprised to hear that she left Ham so suddenly. Yep. Right after she slept with Alex, Kiki.

Oh God. I’m sorry. I hope you’re not upset. No, no. I needed to get to work anyway. Please don’t leave on my. That’s exactly what I’m doing. Neil, do you wanna just take a picture? It will last longer. You know you have a point, dude. I swear to God if that ends up on any little gossip columns, Leo, I swear to God, I would never think about sharing this gym with the world.

No. That is from my private collection. You know what? In fact, I am going to fast track this guy right to the top of the heap. Yeah, I will make sure that that photo never, ever sees the light of day. Okay, we’ll see you soon. Definitely.

So you and Alex are back in the proverbial saddle. Okay. Look, focus. Mattie, you said you had something to tell me about Zander. Oh yes, right. Gwe Gwe. Gwe quick. Oh, sometimes besties have to deliver harsh news. And as much as I love gossip, I also love you. So I will not enjoy imparting this time. How about skipping the theatrics and telling me fine.

Ugh. I think Xander’s hooking up with Chloe Lane.

Oh my God, for Brady. This is the most amazing news I know. I know. I was just telling her that we, we have so much to celebrate. Oh, he sure do. Oh my. You must be so relieved. And your dad, and your brother, and your sister. I’m just so happy for you and your family. Thanks, Chloe. Thanks. We do. We have a lot to celebrate.

Please sit. You know what we need to do? We need to get all the toppings. All the toppings, like chocolate chips, strawberries, fudge, the whole thing. We’ll get free scoops three. How’s that sound over my dead body?

Zander and Chloe. Yep. Saw them together earlier. Defined together. They’re outside the Brady Pub. Oh yes, the Brady Pub. Salem’s most romantic spot. Tell me where they’re sitting there, ogling each other while taking in the sweet aroma of chowder and Jeep beer. Okay, so I didn’t catch them in bed together, but it looked pretty intimate to me.

It’s fine. Intimate? No, they were, oh God, no. I don’t wanna see a demonstration. Demonstration. I took a photo.

Rachel, what have I told you about sharing? Hm. You can’t finish three scoops by yourself anyway. It’s fine. It fine. Brady? Uh, listen, Rachel, if I remember correctly, you don’t like strawberries on your sundaes and sharing ice cream can be kind of annoying. Am I right? So how about we order three sundaes, one for each of us?

How does that sound? See, that sounds perfect, right? It doesn’t to me. I’ve got this for you on six. I don’t mind sharing with daddy. It’s you I don’t wanna share with,

so it was my cousin Alex. He was the reason you and Ali broke up. Oh right. I forgot. He’s your cousin. I keep on forgetting that everyone in this town is related. Sorry. No, you apologize. And I should be saying sorry to you for my lecturers kin info, a narcissistic manhole. He can’t keep his hands off other people’s people.

He’s such a preening, homering son of, whoa, whoa. I had no idea you hated him so much. Well’s not to hate. He’s only been back in Salem a few months and his conquest already outnumbered mine, at least the ones I know about. Probably not counting me. You’re not serious. I was curious and he definitely lives up to the hype, not helping.

Sorry, but you seem to be taking this personally. Why? Because of his personal, his latest conquest is Gwen. Oh, Gwen Riz, whatever your you’re, you’re at. Yeah. Gwen Riz check. Yeah. Alex moved on on her when she was at her most vulnerable and now God, he just loves rubbing in my face at every opportunity. And what do you know?

Another opportunity presents itself. Be careful of how you mate. Plus you want me to give you a match in black eye.

Carrie, so good to talk to you, honey, please. Please tell Austin how, sir, I’m sorry. We are back.

And you and I I will, um, I’ll give him, call myself in a few days. Okay. I love you too. Hi, sweet.

Wow. So good to hear Carrie’s voice. Yeah, I. But now you’re thinking about Kate, aren’t you? And Kayla too. I hope this whole business with banks pan out. You just let me worry about that for both of us. Okay. Hope and Steve will find her. No doubt in my mind. I hope you’re right. Oh, it is. Good to be home. Hmm.

It’s almost like this whole thing never even happened. You know? It’s, it’s so hard to believe all of it. I just wish that Bell and Eric could straighten out their issues. Yeah. They’re still at each other’s throats. It’s the shame because they were getting along so well, you know, but Eric, he’s, he’s been in a bad way ever.

We lost you and, and since he and Nicole ended things. But you know what? I think now that you’re back, I’m hoping things will turn around for him. I hope so too. But what, what caused this whole thing I, this, is this about when Eric took a swing at Sean? No, no, no, no, no, no, no. This, this whole thing is about the situation between Sloan, Peterson and Paul.

When the criminal trial against Paul and Chanel fell apart, Sloan filed a civil suit, bell stepped in and got the whole thing dismissed. That’s Bell’s job. Well, yeah, but Eric didn’t see it that way though. And since Eric is still in a relationship with Sloan, what? Wait, wait. That’s still going on still, which is why he and Bill are on opposite sides.

But now the lawsuit’s dead, so I’m hoping maybe the two of them can just move on. Mar is Alive. Oh my, oh my. Yet again. Someone gets a reprieve from death in the great city of Salem. Praise the Lord. Oh, well now maybe she can talk some sense into you and get you away from this. Viper says, the woman with a venomous tongue, look, as much as I enjoy being insulted in my home, get the hell out gladly.

But I’m not done with you, Ms. Th not by a long shot. And to quote my least favorite person, this isn’t over.

Since you’re not backing down, I have to assume that you do want me to dot your other eye for you. For what? What happens between Gwen and me is none of your damn business. I’m making it my business, Alex. Cause I know you’re just gonna hurt her. And I actually care about her. Is that why you called her your sloppy seconds?

The last time I saw you? I mean, that was very respectful. Oh, what do you know? By respecting women, you’re a serial bed hop, unlike you. Look, you’re not good enough for Gwen. Not by a long shot. I’m, I’m not gonna stand by while you take advantage of it. Oh, she didn’t seem very taken advantage of just now as I left her bed after making love to her for the third time today.

That’s Whoa, whoa, whoa. Guys, guys, let’s not do this, okay? Just stop it, okay? Please just stop. Thank you. Chanel being the voice of a reason. Yeah. I just don’t wanna be caught in the middle of some stupid fight in the middle of the square. But don’t you for one second, think that I am on your side. Alex Riak is because I am not.

It’s all we Were friends. Friends. Do friends sleep with each other’s girlfriends behind their backs. Okay. Chanel, and as I told you, I’m sincerely sorry for everything that happened with I, I really am. And you don’t deserve that. Yeah. You deserve better. Yeah. You damn right. I. And I promise you, I’ll do everything in my power to repair our friendship, but this whole thing with Gwen is completely different.

I’m not breaking up any happy homes. Her and Zander aren’t together. This guy doesn’t even water. He just doesn’t want anybody else to have her. No, I don’t want you to have her. It’s a big difference. Look, you already broke. The girl’s heart wants cause. Hmm. So if you really care about her the way you say you do, you need to get out of her life and you need to let her be happy with somebody else.

I don’t see where the big deal is. Chloe was probably just grateful that Zander pulled that hurtful article you wrote about, oh, honey, I know that’s what you want to believe, but does that look like a platonic hug to you? Yes. Look at that body language. Well, if they haven’t slept together yet, they have certainly rounded third base.

And haven’t you wondered why Xander pulled an article that was guaranteed click bait? Probably because it was click bait 2020. I know that the truth hurts, but you have to face the facts so you can heal and move on. Ah, for sake. And the facts are that Xander’s next conquest is that boring songbird with the big eyes.

No, you are wrong. She is not Xander’s next conquest because A, she’s not his type, and B, her big eyes are only for Brady Black. Everybody knows that. Oh, come on. You don’t see those two working out. She called his kid a monster. And yes, Xander pulled the article. So maybe Brady doesn’t know that she said that yet, but trust me on this from my own vast life experience, once you hate the offspring and the offspring hate you, the relationship is.

Rachel, that’s enough. Do you remember mommy’s letter? Do you remember? You’re supposed to be nice to Chloe and you’re supposed to give her a chance. Mommy only wrote that letter cuz you made her, she told you no, but you just did.

Listen, Rachel, I, I understand why you want your mommy and daddy to live together. When I was your age, all I wanted was to have a mommy and daddy who lived together and loved me with all their hearts. But you do have a mommy and daddy who love you so, so much, and you’re really lucky cuz you have other people who love you.

You have your, your grandparents, your aunt, your uncles, your cousins, and me. You are you crossing your fingers behind your back. No, definitely not Now. Listen’s, sweetheart. We used to be really close at one point, and I want that for us again. In fact, I. I kind of got you a little something. Let’s call it a peace offering

Stickers. Yeah. To add your collection. I remember how proud of it you. I was, and then I grew out of it.

Rachel. Rachel, I don’t take Rachel Black. You lie. You don’t love me. You hate me as much as I hate you. Fine. You’re right. I do hate you.

I don’t think that that’s true, Mattie, that if the offspring and the partner hates each other that it can’t work out. I mean, My mother didn’t give a damn about all the blokes that she slept with that I hated. And believe me, I hated every single one of them. Did she ever marry any of them and live happily ever after?

No, but not for a lack of trying. See, you just proved my point. Yeah. Pretty sure that that was all on my mum though. Anyway, look, it’s not worth arguing over. I’m gonna. I’m gonna get something to eat. I’m gonna go to the office. All right? I will stay put and work on my story about Xander and Chloe’s Grand Romance.

You’re gonna be wasting your time. I’m not printing that story, Mattie. Oh, come on, Gwenny. Don’t be bitter. This just means that your plan is working. Xander is so jealous of you and Alex that he’s throwing himself at Chloe to make you jealous. I am not miss her. I am being a good friend to you because if you print that, I’m just gonna fire you.

Not if my other boss overrules. He made a unilateral decision to kill my last column. You can make a unilateral decision to run this one. I mean, it is your family paper after all. Why are you so determined to run this? Because I have nothing else. My deadline is in a few hours. Too bad. Winnie. Come on. You are reaching for a story when there isn’t one.

Just I don’t want Chloe Lane suing me. Right. So just think of something else to write. Like what? Oh my God, this is Salem. Okay. People come back from the dead. They get possessed from the devil. Come back as twins. I’m sure you’ll think of something.

Rachel, I, I am so sorry. I never meant to say that too late. You already did, Rachel. We are, uh, we’re gonna go home. Okay. We’ll, we’ll do Sundays another time to grab your bag. Bye. Honestly, grandma my way, Brady, I can’t tell you. I’m sorry. I am. That’s okay. We’ll talk about it later. Let’s.

Can you believe that woman harassing me in my own house? I mean, I should call the cops on her. That’s an option. Yeah. Well, it wouldn’t do any good. Commissioner Hernandez and Detective Hunter have made it pretty clear that they are Team Paul. I mean, support the murderous daughter and the bribe passing mother, you know, and let the victim just be victimized even more.

God, I mean, that’s obviously their mo. And you know what, before you say anything else, I did not send that letter. I just defended you, didn’t I? And I’m very grateful for that. But I saw the look in your face when you read the letter. Even right now, you’re wondering if it was. Aren’t you? No, that’s not fair.

You said you didn’t have anything to do with trashing Paul in his office. That’s enough for me. But, but you did say that you want to take revenge out on her and Chanel? Absolutely I do, and I will trust me, but when I do, it’s not gonna be from some passive aggressive, anonymous little note with letters cut out of a.

When I comfort them feel damned well, no, it’s me.

I’m freaking it up guys. Now I mean it, and I cannot believe I am saying this in 2023, but you don’t get to decide who Gwen wants to be with. That is totally up to her. My point exactly. Alex, shut up. What the hell is going on here? You, you get your grubby little hands off my baby girl. I was, no, my hands were nowhere nearer.

I was just leaving. Me too. Take care, Ms. Price.

What was that all about? Just men being men and reminding me how lucky I am to have other options. But anyway, nevermind that. Um, how are you feeling? You were asleep. What? I left for work this morning and I, I didn’t wanna disturb. Well, I did have a little trouble sleeping, uh, you know, when I came back from my office yesterday and found this

God, Sloane. She’s as pathetic. She is predictable. Oh, I just came from confronting that ambulance chasing fraud, and of course she denied it. But mommy, I know she shouldn’t be confronting anybody. Excuse me. At least not until you have a clean bill of health. And I was going to call you because I just got off the phone and I scheduled an appointment for you with Dr.

Greenberg at University Hospital at three 30. Three 30. I can’t. You can and you will. This is important. Mama. What? So is this. I can’t let that go unanswered. It won’t. I’ll handle it. Chino Chin. I am fine. Really? Really? No. I was having some problems yesterday, but today I’m feeling healthy and strong. Okay, then your appointment should be quick and easy.

Come on, mama. Please, please. Do you want me to have my own panic attacks worrying about you? They are both. Thank you. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. And I will be sure to follow up with your driver to make sure that you actually went. Course Uhhuh. I love you, mama. I love you too, baby.

No, no. You know it, it’s okay. Okay. You know the old saying, Hmm. There’s no sense crying. Over spilled whipp cream. Oh, that’s so weak. Thank you. Gimme a second. No, no, no, no. Don’t go. I’m strawberries. I’m pretty over the,

oh.

Where’s Grandma? Marlena? I wanna see her. And lady, you’ll see her later. Right? Now you’re going to go to your room. You’re punishing me. Well, Chloe’s the one who said she hates me, honey. She didn’t mean it. Okay. Yes she did. Daddy. So why aren’t you mad at her?

Chloe. Hi. You alright? Aren’t you like you lost your best friend? It’s excuse. I just did you mean? Yeah. I mean, Brady, well, I thought things were looking up for you too, since I killed Leo’s. Well, it turns out that Brady didn’t need to read about me badmouthing his daughter. He heard it straight from the horse’s mouth.

I told Rachel that I hated her right in front of him. You did not. I did. Oh, Chloe, I’m so sorry. Ah, she was just being. Awful to me, but still, I can’t believe those words just flew out of my mouth. And now, now there’s nothing I can do to take ’em back. Only consolation. I’m having a terrible day too. My cousin’s still screwing my ex and taking every chance he can to rub my face in.

It sounds like you could use a drink. Who Here? Let’s sit. Are you sure? I want to impose. Honestly, I could use the company. Oh, Chloe, I know that you’ve loved ver Insino cause you can’t have this little terror come between. God. Just, I don’t know how Brady could forgive me after what I said. I ju, I think. I think it might be over.

I mean, how could it not be? Hey, don’t cry. It’s gonna be okay if it’s gonna be okay.

Foil wrapped, teens dropping from the sky. No, that’s too far fetched, even for Salem. Ah, what the hell am I gonna put in my column?

Sheel Dupree Baker extraordinaire. I do my best work when I stressed. Please tell me. You brought me some treat. It’s in a manner of speaking. Hello? Do I have a scoop for you? Lady? Whistleblower.

So do you have any idea who’s threatening Paulina? It’s not you, Eric. A woman like Paulina Price makes enemies before breakfast if the police would just look past what’s right underneath their nose and actually do their job. If they’re not gonna help me, I might as well just do the paperwork and file a restraining order myself.

Update written by Joseph

After Belle and Eric leave the house, John tells Marlena that it was a relief to see Belle and Eric getting along and not going at each others’ throat. Marlena says it is for the time being. John responds that he thought it would take a miracle for that to happen and Marlena is that miracle. Marlena admits she would’ve liked more time with them. John thinks they didn’t want to overwhelm her. Marlena says that’s kind but they’ve been apart for so long that she doesn’t want to let them go. John understands after everything she’s been through but assures that she will be surrounded by people who love her 24/7. John tells Marlena that he’s never letting her out of his sight and kisses her. John adds that he’s never letting her go.

Harris questions Andrew saying he’s going to be a free man. Andrew reiterates that it will depend on doctors evaluations but from what he’s seen, it’s obvious that he was not in his right mind when he committed crimes and was acting under Megan Hathaway’s command which means she is the one that the ISA will want to keep prisoner, not Harris. Andrew adds that he has every confidence that as soon as the doctors okay it, he will be released from their custody. Harris responds that he’s not sure that’s a good idea.

Hope asks Megan who took Kayla.

Stephanie answers her phone call from Kayla and questions if it’s really her. Kayla confirms that it is as Stephanie starts to cry.

Marlena and John talk about the book Marlena was reading before she got sick and how she looked forward to finishing it when she came home, and now she can. Marlena talks about missing having a good book and reading in the bath. Marlena feels bad that Kayla is still missing. John encourages that Steve won’t rest until he finds her and brings her home. John reminds Marlena to take care of herself. Marlena tells John that she loves him and missed him so much. John promises there will be no more missing between them again as those days are over. Marlena says she will hold him to that as they kiss.

Megan tells Hope that she will tell her the name of the man who took Kayla and it’s a name that Hope and Steve are both very familiar with. Megan says that Steve is well acquainted with this man and Hope knows him even better. Hope tells Megan to get to the point. Megan responds that the man they are looking for is unusually skilled at avoiding being captured and he used to be one of her most loyal henchmen..

Kayla knows Stephanie is shocked but assures that she is alive. Stephanie says she knows and thanks God. Stephanie keeps thinking she’s dreaming but Kayla tells her that she’s not. Kayla asks how Stephanie knew she was alive. Stephanie informs her that Steve told her as he just found out. Kayla questions how he found out. Stephanie explains that Steve and John went to the island where Megan was holding her and they found Marlena and brought her home. Stephanie adds that they tried to find Kayla as well but Megan told them that Kayla had been taken off the island by some henchman. Kayla confirms that is true but reveals that it wasn’t just some random henchman, it was her uncle Bo.

Hope asks Megan again for the name of the henchman she supposedly knows so well. Megan then claims that it was Thomas Banks which Steve questions. Megan reminds Steve of their last run in with Thomas and how he almost killed Hope in Montreal. Megan laughs at the fact that if Thomas succeeded, Hope would be dead. Megan adds that Thomas would have succeeded if Sister Mary Moira hadn’t shown up, but since she did, Harris took the bullet for Hope and survived.

Andrew tells Harris that he knows this has all been terrible to deal with and he can’t imagine what it’s been like to be brainwashed by Megan. Andrew states that if Harris is worried about being a general threat to the public, they won’t release him if his tests show that he’s still under Megan’s influence. Harris responds that was only part of his concern as it’s not what he might still do that he’s worried about, but the things he’s already done.

Stephanie questions what Kayla said as the connection is dropping and asks who the henchman was. Kayla repeats that it’s her brother Bo, Stephanie’s uncle, but the connection goes bad and Stephanie says there’s lots of static. Stephanie asks Kayla where she is. Kayla reveals to her that she’s in Greece. Stephanie asks for the name of the city but Kayla doesn’t know and says it’s Victor’s childhood home.

Brady goes to John’s and is shocked to see Marlena is alive. Brady can’t believe it while Marlena tries to explain but Brady starts to argue with her as he believes she is Hattie Adams. John comes in and reveals to Brady that it is Marlena, she’s safe and sound and he’s eternally grateful. Brady is shocked and hugs Marlena, asking how.

Stephanie tries to get through to Kayla and asks again what town in Greece she is. Kayla tries repeating that it’s where Victor is from but Bo comes back in and grabs the phone from her. Bo remarks that he wishes she hadn’t done that.

Harris tells Andrew that what he’s been doing the past few years and the crimes he committed including kidnapping and assault. Harris screams that he killed two men. Harris explains that it was in Greece while tracking down the prisms, he shot two men in cold blood and watched them fall overboard to their deaths. Harris declares that he is a killer and asks if he should have to answer for that. Andrew understands he wants to take responsibility for what he’s done and admits that he’s had to do things he’s uncomfortable with as an ISA agent, so he can relate. Harris asks if he’s ever had to kill somebody. Andrew agrees that those men did not deserve to die but argues that they were Megan’s victims just as much as Harris is. Andrew declares that what he did before doesn’t matter as he still has a future and a lot to live for, including Hope. Andrew notes that it seemed like there was a connection between Harris and Hope. Harris admits he told her that and that he wanted a chance to see what they could have together. Harris remarks that he’s not sure he can measure up to Hope’s late husband, Andrew’s uncle Bo.

Megan tells Hope and Steve that she had such high hopes for Harris but he’s been such a disappointment. Hope wants to focus on now and asks if Thomas took Kayla because Megan ordered him to. Megan responds that she had nothing to do with Kayla’s disappearance. Steve questions why they should believe her. Megan insists that she’s telling the truth that Thomas went rogue. Steve asks why. Megan claims to have no idea and that she only knows he owes her everything including his life but that doesn’t matter to him. Megan says she gave him the perfect life and was going to give him the perfect future. Megan cries that she sacrificed everything for him but he does what he wants, when he wants, and doesn’t care who he hurts. Hope questions why this upsets her so much.

John tells Brady to breathe as Marlena brings him a glass of water. Brady still can’t believe Marlena is alive and really here. John is sorry for the shock and says he left him a message that they had incredible news and he should’ve been clearer. Brady says it’s on him since Rachel borrowed his phone and it’s a long story but she probably deleted the message. John understands that nothing could have prepared him for this. Brady says he’s still trying to wrap his head around it and that it was easier to believe that Hattie Adams had resurfaced more than Marlena being here. Brady apologizes for thinking she was Hattie but Marlena calls it completely understandable. Brady calls Marlena the heart and soul of John’s life and says it was hard for all of them, but especially John. Brady tells Marlena that he’s sorry for what she’s gone through. Marlena admits it was frightening but she kept going because of the love of her family. Marlena adds that she couldn’t have gotten through it without Kate and Kayla. Brady questions Megan having them held captive all this time and questions where Kayla and Kate are.

Stephanie’s call with Kayla drops and she tells Chad about it and that Kayla is somewhere in Greece. Chad says that makes sense because Megan has a lab somewhere in the Mediterranean. Stephanie cries that she needs Kayla to call back as Chad hugs her.

Bo is disappointed as he thought he could trust Kayla. Kayla argues that she doesn’t understand why he’s doing this. Bo says he’s trying to make a new start and he can’t do that if he’s connected to the people from his past. Bo sees that Kayla called a Salem area code and guesses she was talking to Steve. Kayla tells him that it was his niece, Stephanie, and tries to get Bo to remember his family.

Andrew tells Harris that he didn’t know his uncle Bo that well. Harris is sure he heard about the great love between Bo and Hope. Andrew confirms that people talked about it like it was legendary. Harris guesses he’s right then that he can’t compete with that. Andrew doesn’t believe that. Andrew says Hope will always hold Bo in her heart, but sadly uncle Bo is dead so Andrew questions who Harris is competing with.

Hope can’t figure out why Megan seems genuinely upset that Thomas ran out on her. Megan argues that she just expects loyalty but that’s in short supply. Megan claims that she told them who took Kayla, so that’s her end of the bargain and asks to get her transfer underway. Megan reiterates that she has no idea where Kayla was taken because Thomas turned out to have a mind of his own, unlike some. Hope tells Steve that Megan is obviously not going to tell them anymore today so it’s best they start focusing on bringing Thomas Banks in. Steve warns Megan that she better be telling the truth and she better pray they find Kayla safe and sound, because if anything happens to Kayla, he’s holding Megan personally responsible. Steve and Hope then exit.

Brady goes over Marlena, Kayla, and Kate surviving the poisoning but Kayla is missing. John notes that Steve is searching as they speak and he won’t rest until he finds her. Brady asks if Kate didn’t make it. Marlena explains that Megan made it clear that there would be consequences for anyone who did not follow her instruction and Kate didn’t. Marlena adds that she was lucky to escape when she did. Brady says they are all very lucky to have Marlena back because they love and need her. Brady doesn’t think they all realized how much they relied on her until she was gone. Brady thinks most of them were falling apart. Marlena declares that it really is all about family. Marlena then asks about her granddaughter. Brady says she’s good and will be very happy to know that Marlena is alive and well. Brady can’t wait to tell her and says he’s going to pick Rachel up from school now. Marlena can’t wait to see her. Brady tells Marlena that he loves her and hugs her as he thanks God that she came back to them.

Andrew tells Harris that he’s going to check to see if the doctors have filed their reports. Andrew adds that no matter what the evaluations say, Harris is not defined by his past. Andrew tells Harris that whenever he has a chance at love, he should take it. Andrew repeats that he’s sure Hope will always hold Bo in her heart, but he’s gone now, so Harris shouldn’t let Bo stand in his way. Andrew then exits the room.

Bo questions what Kayla told Stephanie. Kayla says she told her that she was alive. Bo guesses she told her that she was with him and where they are. Kayla admits that she did but they had a terrible connection so Stephanie didn’t hear what she was saying. Bo hopes she’s telling the truth because they don’t need anyone tracking them down. Kayla argues that they are on a goat farm that Victor couldn’t wait to run away from. Kayla says if even if she could tell someone where it is, there’s a terrible connection and no signal. Bo tells her not to worry because she won’t be making any more phone calls. Bo then heads back to the kitchen.

Stephanie tries calling Kayla back but complains that it’s just ringing and ringing. Stephanie worries that maybe she shouldn’t have called her back since if someone is holding Kayla captive and heard the phone ringing, they’ll know she called someone. Stephanie worries that maybe Kayla hung up before because someone caught her with the phone. Stephanie wonders if they are hurting her. Chad encourages her not to think that way and suggests the call just dropped because of bad connection so maybe she’ll call back. Stephanie complains that she can’t just sit here and do nothing or she’ll go crazy, so she’s calling her dad.

Steve tells Hope that they should check in with Andrew to see if he knows anything about Thomas Banks’ latest moves. Hope tells Steve to go ahead and she’ll catch up with him because she wants to check on Harris. Steve tells Hope to do what she has to do and notes that Thomas has been on the ISA’s radar for quite some time, so he bets Andrew will have solid leads on how to track him down. Hope encourages Steve that Kayla is alive so they are going to find her and bring her home as they hug. Hope then goes to see Harris while Steve gets a call from Stephanie. Stephanie says she needs to talk to him. Steve asks if it can wait because he’s in the middle of trying to track down her mom. Stephanie reveals that she’s calling because she knows where she is.

Marlena reads her book in a bubble bath. John comes in and informs her that he heard from Hope, who says that Megan told them that Thomas Banks has Kayla captive, so it’s just a matter of time before they find Kayla.

Megan talks to herself about how Steve and Hope were so happy to go chasing after Thomas Banks, if only they knew who really took Kayla. Megan remarks that she wasn’t about to give Hope the satisfaction of knowing that her beloved Bo is alive again as she laughs.

Hope goes back to Harris’ room and finds Andrew there. Andrew asks if she got anything out of Megan. Hope says they did but questions what’s going on here since Andrew removed the handcuffs from Harris. Andrew reveals they just got the test results and the doctors are certain that Harris is no longer under control of Megan, so he’s free to go and now that he’s fully in control of his own mind, the path he chooses is up to him.

Steve questions how Stephanie knows where Kayla is. Stephanie explains that Kayla called her but the connection was terrible, so all she knows is that Kayla is in Greece. Steve questions how Kayla ended up there.

Bo sits with Kayla and encourages her to eat because she is going to need her strength for a busy day tomorrow.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

That was a relief Bill and Eric actually getting along. Yeah, for the time Beam Doc, let me tell you the way they’d been going in each other’s throats you, I thought it was gonna take a miracle for that to happen. And you know what? I was right. You are that miracle.

What are you thinking about? I just, I would’ve liked a little more time with them. Uh, you know, I, I think they just didn’t wanna overwhelm you. No, no. Oh, no. No. And that’s, that’s very kind. I’ve just been apart for so long. I don’t wanna let them go, sweetheart, that’s understandable considering everything that you have just gone through.

But, but I’m gonna say one thing and trust me on this. After everything that we have gone through and how we have missed you so damn much, you are gonna be surrounded by people who love you 24 7. Well, no time to myself at all. Oh, maybe, maybe, you know, you’re in there just a little bit, but for the most part, speaking for myself, not a damn chance.

Cause I’m never letting you outta my sight.

I’m never letting you go, honey.

Did you just say I was, I was gonna be a free man. As I explained a little dependent on doctor’s evaluations, but from what I’ve seen, it’s obvious you weren’t in your right mind when you committed those crimes. You were only executing Ms. Hathaway’s. Which means that she’s the one, the ISA will wanna keep prisoner, not you.

That’s why I have every confidence, but as soon as we get the okay from the doctors, it’ll be released from our custody.

I’m not sure that’s a good idea.

So the person who took Kayla as a man, what’s his name? Who is he? Wow. I can see why they promoted you to police commissioner with those powers of deduction. Are you gonna keep insulting me or are you gonna tell us this man’s name? I can do both. I’m extremely skilled at multitasking. Mom, is it really you?

Yes. Yes, sweetheart. It’s it’s mom.

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

right where you left it.

I was, I was, um, about a quarter of the way through it

before I got sick.

You didn’t want me to bring that to you in the hospital? You said you wanted to look forward to finishing it when you came.

You can now? I can now I can

you,

when you were gone. I couldn’t, I couldn’t, couldn’t put that back on the bookcase. I don’t know what it was, whether it was some irrational, this part of my brain to just kept hoping against hope that you were gonna come back. And I wanted that book to be waiting for you right where you left and when you came home.

You were so good. You’re so good. And that’s something that I, I missed her also, I missed having a good book and. Reading it in a bubble bath with no cares in the world. Okay. I just figured out something here. I’m gonna have to set you up on a spa day here at the place. Okay. What we’re gonna do is we’re gonna get a bit bubble bath on.

You’re gonna read that book and you’re gonna soak yourself to your heart’s content. How does that sound? That sounds great. I, I think I might feel. A little too guilty. Indulging myself when Kayla’s still missing, sweetheart. I know that you’re worried about her, but you know that Steve is not gonna rest until he finds her and he brings her home.

Besides, aren’t you the one that said that if you don’t take care of yourself, I, I’m not gonna be good for anybody else. Hey, no Nofa using my own words against me. I’m taking care of my wife. I don’t have to plate fair. I love you so much. I missed you so much. There is gonna be no more missing between you and me ever again.

My precious wife. Those days are over. I’m gonna hold you

fine. I’ll tell you the name of the man that took Kayla. And actually it’s a name you’re both very familiar with. Really? Oh, yes. You’re very well acquainted with this man, Steve, and hope you know him even better. And I know you love the sound of your own voice, but get to the point please. The point is, The man that you’re looking for is unusually skilled at avoiding capture.

In fact, he used to be one of my most loyal henchmen.

I know it’s a shock, honey, but it’s true. I’m, I’m alive. I know, and I thank God. Mom. I keep thinking that I’m dreaming, but I’m very assured that I’m not. You’re not my darling. But you knew I was alive before you heard it from me. Yes, I did. Dad told me dad. Dad knows too. He just found out how he and John went to the island where Megan was holding.

And mom, they found Marlena and they brought her home. Oh, thank God they tried to find you too. And they almost did, but Megan told them that you’d been taken, that some henchman of hers had forced you off the island. Yes, that’s true. But it’s not just some random hinge, man. It was your Uncle Bo.

And what is the name of this henchman? I supposedly know so well.

The man who took Kayla was

Thomas. Thanks. Thanks. What the. Shirley, you remember him, Steve, you and John were guests of mine in Caracas when he dropped by and give me the prism guests, you had us kidnapped and tied up against our will, tomato, tomato, and hope. As I said, you know him even better considering he almost killed you in Montreal.

I’m not sure you and I share the same definition of knowing someone well naked. Well, would it have been more memorable if he had actually succeeded and taken your life? Oh wait, that’s unlikely because then you’d be dead

anyway. He definitely would’ve succeeded if that pesky sister of his who actually happens to be a sister hadn’t shown up. But thanks to Sister Mary Moira and her impeccable timing, your boyfriend Michaels took the bullet for you and survived. Harris, I know this has all been terribly difficult to deal with.

I can’t imagine what it’s been like for you being brainwashed by Megan, not knowing if your thoughts are your own or something that she put in your head. But if you’re worried that we shouldn’t release you because you might be a threat to the general public, or you’re kind of some sort of sleeper that she can set off, don’t be.

We won’t release you if your tests show that you’re still operating under Megan’s influence. That was just part of my concern. What was the other part? It’s not what I might still do

that I’m worried about.

The things I’ve already done.

What did you say, mom? The connection’s getting really wonky. You said Megan’s henchman was who? Uncle Bo, say it again please. Uncle Bo Bo. My brother Bo. Your uncle Bo is alive.

Mom, I’m sorry. The connection’s really bad. I can only hear every third word or whatever. There’s lots of static. Well, just 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? I don’t, I don’t know the town. It, it’s, uh, Victor’s Childhood Home.

Dad, anyone home?

Oh my God.

I don’t believe it. Uh, Brady. Brady. It’s all right. I know there’s, how are you doing in here? What am I doing here? Why would you ask me where, where is, where is my father? Did he allow you to come in here? Allow me listen. What are you asking me? No, don’t listen to me. Patty Adams. I don’t watch. No, you don’t walk around here like you own this place.

Okay. You What happens? I do. I don’t wanna hear your story about how you thought this was a good idea yourself. She’s home. She’s safe and sound, and I’m eternally grateful. Let’s talk. I’m grateful too. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. How,

mom? Are you still there? Yes, I’m still here. Can, can you hear me? Where are you? In Greece. What’s the name of the town? I, I don’t know. I don’t know the name of the town. It’s, it’s, uh, it’s where Victor’s from, Victor Kikis, what? Victor Vic. Hey, hey. I wish he hadn’t done that.

What I’ve been doing these past few years,

the crimes I committed,

there were people that kidnapped. I assaulted Michaels. You weren’t acting. I killed two men.

It was in Greece when I was tracking down the prisms.

I shot two men in cold blood.

And watch them fall overboard to their desk.

I’m a killer.

Shouldn’t I have to answer for that? I understand that you wanna take responsibility for what you’ve done.

I know it’s not the same, but as an ISA agent, I have had to do things. That I haven’t been comfortable with, so I can relate.

Have you ever had to kill somebody?

You’re right. If those men did not deserve to die, doesn’t matter if they were innocent or not, but those were Megan’s victims just as much as.

Now it does not matter what you’ve done before. You still have a future. You have a lot to live for, including my own hope.

Now, I may be wrong, but it seems like there was a connection between you two. Yeah, I did tell her that. Just wanted the chance to see what we could have. Not as much.

Not sure. I can measure up to her late husband, your Uncle Bo.

I have such high hopes for Michaels, but he spent nothing but a disappointment. Let’s focus on the here and now. Okay. You were just telling us that Thomas Banks took. Is it because you ordered him to, I had nothing to do with Kayla’s disappearance. And why should we believe you? Because I’m telling you the truth.

Thomas went rogue. Why? I have no idea.

All I know is that that man owes me everything. He owes me his life. Doesn’t matter to him. I gave him the perfect life. I, I was going to give him a perfect future. I sacrificed years, everything for him, and yet he does what he wants, what he wants. He doesn’t care who yours.

Megan, why does this upset you so much?

Breathe. Breathe. Breathe. Thank you. I can’t believe you. You’re alive. Can I touch you? Please? I make sure you’re, you really here. I’m really, I’m sorry. This is such a shock. I left you as you’re saying, we had some incredible news here. I should have been a hell of a lot clearer. I’m sorry. No, no, no. That that’s on me because Rachel ended up borrowing my phone and she, it’s a long story.

I don’t want to get into it right now. It’s not important. She probably deleted some messages. Even if you got the message, nothing could’ve prepared you for this. No, no. I’m still trying to wrap my mind around this whole thing and I’m, so I, it was. For me to think that Hattie Adams had resurfaced than you being here.

So, oh, and the things I said to you when I walked in, I’m so sorry, but I thought you were her and I. No, no, no, no. I apologize. It is completely understandable. It’s fine. I want to, I wanna say something to you. I’m just gonna say it out loud cuz I’m a little emotional right now and I’m a little overwhelmed with all this.

You, um, You’re the, you’re the heart and soul of my father’s life. This was extremely hard for all of us, but especially for this guy, and it must have been so awful for what you’ve been going through. So sorry. Thank you. It was, it was frightening. And I only kept going because of, of this what we’re talking about, the love of my family.

You know, I was, I was there with Kate and Kayla. I could not have gotten through it without them. Megan. Megan literally had the three of you. Captive this time? Well, what, what, what, what happened? to the others. Where are, where are Kate and Kayla?

Mom? Hello? Hello?

The line went dead. But that was my mom. I know. Okay. Um, alright, so she said she’s in, in, in Greece. Did she say where? I could barely hear her, but yeah, she said somewhere in Greece. Okay. Okay. Yeah, that makes sense. Megan has a lab somewhere in the, uh, middle of the Mediterranean, but she didn’t say exactly where I, I, the connection was so bad I could barely understand her.

God, I pray she calls back. Chad, I need her to call back. Oh, that’s okay.

Come on. I’m disappointed. I thought I could trust you. I leave for a few minutes and you go rifling through my stuff. Well, I would like to say I’m sorry except for, you know, I am really at a loss here. I don’t understand why you’re doing this, how many I’m trying to make a new start and I can’t do that if I’m connected to the people from the past, and that’s exactly what you are trying to do.

Salem Area code. You’re talking to Steve, weren’t you? I wasn’t. I was talking to Stephanie. Oh, you remember Stephanie, your niece, and Joey, your nephew, my kids who love you and worshiped you. Surely you remember your family, Bo?

I didn’t know my uncle Beau that well. We moved to California when I was a kid, so we only got to see him a few times a year. Yeah. But I’m sure you heard about the, the great love between him and Hope, right? Yeah, I did. People talked about it. I guess it was kind of legendary. There you go. So you’re telling me I’m right.

There’s no way I can compete with that. I didn’t say that and I definitely don’t believe it. I. Yes, I’m sure my aunt Hope will always hold my uncle in her heart. They were married for a long time. They had kids together and yes, they were obviously crazy in love. But, uh, sadly, uncle Bo’s dead. So who are you competing with?

You seem genuinely upset that banks ran out on. But I can’t figure out his, why

isn’t it obvious? I expect loyalty, that’s all. Fortunately what happens to be in short supply. But you wanted to know who took Kayla. I told you that. So I’ve held up my end of the bargain. Shall we get this transfer underway? And you say you have no idea where they. None whatsoever. Thomas turned out to have a mind of his own.

Unlike some,

she’s obviously not going to tell us anything more. Not today. It’s best to be focused on bringing banks in

faith. You better be telling the truth and you better pray that we find Kayla safe and sound. Because whether you put banks up to this or not, if anything happens to my wife, I’m holding you personally responsible.

Just so I’m clear you, Kate and Kayla survived the poisoning, but Kayla’s missing. That’s right. Steve is, he’s uh, he’s searching for her as we speak. And if I know anything about my partner, he’s not gonna wear us till he finds her and brings her home, right? Yeah. What, what about Kate? She didn’t make it, did she?

Megan made it very clear that there would be consequences for anybody who did not follow her instructions and Kate didn’t I? I was lucky to have escaped when I did.

We are all very lucky to have you back. We not only love you, we need you. You need, you, your, your, your wisdom, your love, your strength, everything. I don’t think we all really knew how much we relied on you until you were gone. I think most of us were falling apart. Honestly, I don’t think so. But thanks for the ego boost.

Sure. He not really is just all so bad family. How’s my granddaughter? Oh, she’s, she’s, she’s good. She’s good. Um, she’s gonna be very happy to know that her grandma Marlene is alive and well, I’ll talk to that. And I can’t wait to tell her. I actually, I’m gonna get to tell her soon, cause I gotta go pick her up from school now.

Oh, okay. Can’t wait to see her. You’re gonna get to see her. I love you. I love you and thank God. They’ve come back to us.

I’m going to go check and see if the doctors have filed their reports.

No matter what the evaluations say, you need to know that you’re not defined by your past. And as cliche as it is, I will impart to you something that I’m trying to live by now, and that is whenever you have a chance at Love, you should take it

now. I’m sure my aunt Hope will always hold my uncle in her heart. Like I said, but he’s gone now. Just don’t understand in your way.

What did you tell my lovely niece, Stephanie, that said I was live? Okay. You told her you were with me and where we are nearby? Sure. I did. But you’ll be relieved to know that the was a terrible connection and I, she couldn’t really hear me and she couldn’t make out what I was saying. You’re telling me she didn’t hear anything?

Well, I don’t think she could really hear me, and she certainly doesn’t know that I was here with you or where we are. In fact, I don’t even know if she actually knew it was me.

Oh, I hope you’re telling me the truth. Because we don’t need anyone tracking us down, tracking us down, for God’s sake. Bo look around, we are on a goat farm that, that Victor Kriyas couldn’t wait to run away from. And even if I could tell somebody where this goat farm is in the as end of no. There’s a terrible phone connection here.

There’s no signal. Don’t worry. You won’t be making any more phone calls.

Damn. It’s just ringing, ringing.

Maybe I shouldn’t have called her back. I mean, if someone’s holding my mom against her will and they heard the phone ringing, they’ll know that she was able to call and reach someone. Maybe that’s why she hung up before, because someone caught her with the phone. Oh my God, what if they’re hurting her?

Okay, listen, listen, look at me, Stephanie, look at me. You can’t think that. Okay. You said look at, you said the connection was bad. Maybe the call dropped. All right. I’m sure the call just dropped. Maybe she’ll call you back. God, I hope so, but I can’t just sit here and do nothing. I’ll go crazy. Wait, who are you calling now?

My dad. You know what? We should check in with Andrew, see what he knows on Banks’s recent moves. You go ahead. Um, I’ll catch up with you. I wanna check in on Harris, see how he’s doing. Okay. Do what you gotta do. You know, banks has been on the Issa’s radar for a while now. I betcha Andrew will have some solid leads on how to track him down.

Alive. Alive. She’s alive, Steve, and we’re gonna find her and we’re gonna.

Stephanie. Papa, listen, I need to talk to you, baby. Can’t wait. I’m in the middle of trying to track down a location on your mom. That’s why I’m calling. I know where she is.

Got some good news doc. She’s got a text from Hope. What did she say? Megan finally coughed up the name of the guy who took Kayla, Thomas Banks. So Banks has Kayla tapped it. So now it just a matter of time until we find her,

Stephen. Hope so. Happy to go chasing after Thomas Banks

if only they knew who really took Kayla.

But he wasn’t about to give hope, the satisfaction of knowing that her beloved bow is alive again.

Andrew Harris. Hi. Were you able to get anything outta Megan about Monte? Uh, yes we were and I’ll. We say, what’s going on here? You took off the cuff. Well, we just got the results of his evaluations. The doctors are certain that he is no longer under Megan’s control, which means he’s free to go and now that he is fully in control of his own mind.

The path he chooses is up to him.

You know where your mother is? How Stephanie? Because I just talked to her. What she called me. The connection was terrible, so I couldn’t hear most of what she said. So all I know is she’s in Greece. Greece. How did she end up there?

Up. He’s gonna need your strength. Busy day tomorrow.

He said he needed someone he trusted. She asked if he was planning to build an empire on a flower. Hope went to see Megan at the prison. She told Megan that Harris was deprogrammed and was back to the hero he was before she brainwashed him. Megan thought Hope was falling for Harris. She was curious as to whether Harris was the man for Hope. She asked if Hope was ready to give up everyone for Harris. Steve came back. He said Shane agreed to Megan’s deal. He said she would get 20 years in Statesville with no possibility of parole providing she gives the information on Kayla. When she signed the deal, he asked her where Kayla was. Andrew thanked Harris for helping capture Megan. He said they were all in his debt. Harris said he wanted his life and career back, but he knew that wasn’t possible. Andrew said if the tests proved he wasn’t under Megan’s control, he would be free. When Bo went to make soup, Kayla looked through Rolf’s notes. She found a phone in Bo’s bag, she called Steve, but he didn’t answer the phone. She called someone else. She called Stephanie.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

So if you ask me, I would say that he is more imp

welcome home. I have never been so happy to see this place, except you should be coming home to the balloons and banners and fireworks. No, no, no, no, no, no. There was no time for all that. I know, I know, I know. But still, it calls for a celebration. There’s gonna be one real soon. You know, doc, I just, I just wish the entire family could be here right now just to, to feel the relief that I feel and to share in this.

My God, this incredible miracle. I’m just so happy to be home. And it’s perfect. Except that. Except that except once, sweetie. Except that there was none of this.

You’re back.

I have you cuffed to the bed. At least I’m not, uh, trapped in a last cage. I just spoke to you, doctor, physician or shrink? Both actually. They’re still determining whether or not, whether or not I’m too dangerous to be set free.

Patch back already. Taylor us. Go around, leave you unsatisfied. Can’t hear you. I’m going to have to speak up. Whoa, that was not nice. You know why you’re in that cage, Megan. It’s not to keep people safe from you. It’s keep you safe from me, but apparently not from your ties. Some questions, I’m out of patience.

So unless you’re up for some enhanced interrogation techniques, you better quit stonewall and tell me where I can find my wife.

Come on. We’re here. This, this is what we want. That horrendous never ending journey for Not bad. Hey, not bad, Bo. I, I’m, I’m exhausted. I’m filthy. I’m, I’m completely clueless because if your refusal tell me what you have planned. So here you say, we’re here. Where the hell are we?

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

You are no longer a threat or a danger to anyone. You’ve been completely deprogrammed. Yeah, hopefully. But after all the terrible things I did, the ISA is not gonna take any chances then I can’t possibly think. You’re still under M’S control. You’re the one who told us where to find her. Still for them cutting me loose.

It’s a gamble. The safest move is to make me disappear. Oh, I’m not gonna let that

are you?

I can’t even believe this. The God you’re really here. What you must have gone through thinking you’d lost me. Oh sweetheart. The heartbreak was everybody was just so devastated, especially the kids.

Maybe it’s time to share the good news. Hmm.

I know I’m new to the whole PR thing, but, uh, I know a thing or two about rehabbing a public image, and I think, I think this is gonna be all run for Paulina. Yeah, totally. Sounds great. Yeah. Which part, part about the All Night Rave at Julie’s place, or the Naked Streakers with Price. Price Baby on their.

What? You didn’t know what I said, did you? Sorry. Um, what did I miss? No, I was just giving you my rundown for, uh, my, my strategy about how I think we could keep generating positive press for polling.

Something’s obviously on your mind now. What’s going on? Um, I’m just waiting for an update from my dad. You haven’t heard from him since he left? No. Which could just mean that he’s super focused, but I mean, he is trying to bring my mother’s killer to justice. You should call him. I have 20 times. He’s not picking up.

Okay. One 20 one’s always been a winner for me.

Did your sweetness ever tell you that you’re kind of sexy when you’re. I’m not here to play games. Where’s Kayla? I don’t know. And that’s the God’s honest truth. But you know who has her, who took her off that island of yours? Perhaps stop wasting my time and give me a name. Well, it’s not as if you’re going to find them a name.

Damn it. Fine. If you must know,

aren’t you gonna answer it? It’s important. They’ll call back, say what you’re about to say. Wow. It’s obviously important. Take it. I’ll be here when you get back.

Hey Stephanie, finally, you picked up Papa. I’ve been so worried about you. Are you okay? I’m fine. Thank God and Megan’s in ISA custody. I’m questioning her now. That’s great.

And I have, um, I have some other news. It’s about your mother. What is it? She’s alive, baby girl. Your mom is alive.

You still haven’t answered my question. Well, we had to get the supplies. Oh, you mean all this crap? That we had to drag from the rickety little boat to the broken down car that you, that you drove over on dirt roads through the better part of a day until we dead ended at a swamp, which we then had to wade through with snakes and everything until we got here and had to trek up this mountain.

Okay? Yes. It was a rough trip, but worth it. Worth it. Oh, you made me abandon my friend Marlena on that island to bring me to this crap shack. It’s much more than that. Oh really? Yeah. Oh really? Well, I’ll tell you, all I’ve seen here are, are goats and flies. So, you know, after everything that you’ve put me through, maybe you could do me the favor and tell me what you have planned.

I appreciate you putting up with this difficult trip and, okay. Right, right. I’ll let you know what my plan is. Oh, oh good. I’m listening. Okay. You are standing in the home of Victor Kakkis. This is where my father grew up, so you’re You got it. Welcome to,

You still there baby?

I can’t believe it. Mom’s really alive. Yes, she really is. But how can that be? Papa? Are you sure? I mean, did I hear you right? Yes. You heard me, right? Your mom is alive. Please let me talk to her. Put her on. I have to hear her voice. You will. Um, you will Real soon for, why not now? Why can’t I talk to her now?

Well, the thing is, I am not with her just yet. Sue, you’re actually not sure about this. No, no. I am sure she’s definitely alive. Marlena confirmed it. Marlena, she’s alive too. John took her back to Salem from that island. They were being held on. But before I could get to your mom, one of Megan’s people, Oh my God.

Now don’t you worry. I won’t rest until I find her and bring her home. Victor’s family lost everything in the depression, so when he was a child, didn’t have much. Most nights, he and his brother would go to bed hungry, but he didn’t feel sorry for himself. I think that that hunger motivated. He swore that someday he would get everything his heart desired when he fell asleep here in this home, he dreamt of everything that he would achieve.

When he got enough money together, he bought this place and left it exactly as it is. As a reminder of where he came from, why are we here? This is where my father began to make his dreams a reality. This is where it begins for me too, where what begins My father built an empire. I’m gonna build one too,

Andrew. So good to see you. Likewise. And thank you for letting Sierra and the other day to visit. It was such a, a really nice surprise. Oh, anything from my cousin and I came to let you know that the information Commander Michaels gave us checked out, but Megan Hathaway is now in our custody. Oh hell. Lu John and Steve, founder.

She’s not the only person they found.

Hey, hey. What are you doing here? John asked me to come over. Yeah, me too. He said he had news. I’m assuming it’s about the search for Megan hath. So I’m taking it that lead that he and Steve had didn’t pan out. Huh? Surprised. You care given how self-absorbed you’ve been lately, what is that supposed to mean?

You know exactly what it means. Sloan, again, Phil, you really need to get over it. God, that’s psycho trash Paulina’s office. You know what? I can’t even believe you’re defending her because she said she didn’t do it. You believe her? I do. Oh my God, you’re even more delusional than I thought. You know, after I got that skank civil suit thrown out, she went ballistic on Paul and Chanel in the middle of the square.

God, yes, because she was apparently very, She threatened them. Eric, she said she wasn’t done with them and didn’t need court to get her revenge. Obviously, ransacking, Paul’s office was just the first step in whatever diluted plan your little bed buddies got all cooked on. No, no, no. The cops questioned her and let her go.

Why? Because they didn’t have one trip. Once they, she did anything wrong? The hell’s going on here. Eric and I were just having a, A disagreement. Yeah. We’ll knock it off. I didn’t call you two over here to play referee. I’m sorry. Why did you call us over here? We found Megan Hathaway. She’s in ISA custody.

It’s great. Now she can pay for killing mom. No, actually she can’t. What? Why not? Because I’m alive.

Mom. My God, I don’t, I don’t understand. How is this even possible? Well, it’s a rather long story. I, I will catch you up sometime. But in a nutshell, Megan took my body from the hospital and had Ralph create a serum. I actually saved my life. It turns out that Megan is the one who took the orchid. I, I was on an island somewhere and John found me and brought me home.

What? What? Are you gonna stand there? Are you gonna give your mother a hug?

Ah, man.

Kayla and Marlena are alive. They’re, my God, they’re right. Where? Where, where are they? John brought Marlena back to Salem, but Kayla’s whereabouts, they’re still unknown. Apparently someone took her from the island who we don’t know. Megan refuses to tell us anything, but we are confident that we can find a way to make her talk.

Unfortunately, that’s all the information I have on your mom, but I will get some answers outta Megan. I promise. Please. You have to find her. I will. I’ll call you as soon as I know more. I love you, Papa. I love you so much. Be careful. Okay? I will. I love you too. Little sweetness.

Well, that took a while. I thought you might have forgotten about me and left. I’m not going anywhere until you tell me what I want to know. So while you were on your call, I did some thinking and I would like to make a deal. What kind of deal? As I said, I can’t tell you where Kayla is because I don’t know, but.

I can tell you who has her. After you give me what I want. This is the answer to all my questions. I’m just, I’m gonna follow in my father’s footsteps and build an empire. I’m a kk what I was born to do. Okay. Okay. Well, but listen to me. You need to listen to. This is all just crazy talk and, and you’re just saying these things because Megan brainwashed, stop, stop.

No, no, no. Listen, we need to go back to Salem and you need to get your head on straight so that you can think clearly. I have never been more clear about anything in my life. My slate has been wiped clean. I, I get to start over again. I get to go down the path I was destined to go down. Victor came from these humble beginnings, so I You already have your humble beginnings.

Oh, boa, come on. Our parents owned a junkyard. We lived above a fish market. That’s your story, Kayla. It was never mine. Victor had nothing. I have nothing. I’m going to build a life for myself like he did. What are you talking about? What do you mean you have nothing? You, you have a history of family, a home.

You’re right. This is my history, my family. This is where the Kakkis Empire was. The Keri is Empire is a crime syndicate through sheer force of will and determination. My father escaped from poverty and became a giant. How could you not admire that? Because after Victor escaped, A different force happened.

It became pure hate. What my father achieved is inspiring. I mean, he had everything. He had money, power, and most important, he had freedom and his heart was ice cold. Bo Victor is a vengeful, vicious, ruthless man. So if you ask me, I would say that he is more impoverished now, more than ever. Come on, Bo. Our family, our family may not have had much, but you know what?

We really had? We were so rich. We were rich in love. And, and, and I, and I think deep down, you know that, I mean, you’ve been away from us for a long time. You’ve been away from this love, but you know that that has the most valuable thing in life. And if you could just, if you could just clear all this confusion out of your head and see straight, you would know I’m right.

That you don’t belong here. That we need to go home and we need to go. We need to go. The people who love us.

Your mother’s alive. Chad, I feel like I’m dreamy. I’m not, am I? No, not, not, not that I know of. I wanna see her. I wanna, I wanna hold her in my arms and I wanna tell her. I wouldn’t tell her everything I never got to before and tell her how much I love her. Now you get to, which means to me, you get to tell her all of that.

Now you,

oh my God, I’m so happy. Oh no, he’s not even the word for it. There are no words.

Oh, Chad, I’m sorry you, sorry. It’s just you and your family suffered such a terrible loss. And now if, if I’m not dreaming my family, we’ve been given this miracle stop. No, don’t, don’t, don’t do that. Don’t you have no reason to apologize? What are you talking about? Look at me. Your mother is alive. That’s, that’s a, that’s amazing.

That’s incredible. What are you talking about? I’m so happy for you. Thank you so, Okay, so what? Megan, Megan Hathaway was keeping your, your mom captive on an island. What? And, and someone took her, my dad’s trying to find out who it was, but right now he doesn’t know much of anything. Okay. Look, all you need to know is your, your dad’s gonna bring your mom home, right?

And Chad, there’s more. Marlene is alive too. So what? John brought her back to Salem.

I can’t. I can’t, I don’t. I can’t even process any of this. Me neither. So Kate. Kate, is Kate alive?

I don’t think you’re in a position to make demands. Do you wanna find. I will find Kayla wonderful. Off you go.

All right, Megan, what is it that you want? Full immunity from everything dream on. Oh, come on. I know you have pull with Director Donovan. I know for a fact that you and John were given a pass from what you did in Hong Kong last summer. We only did that because you brainwashed us. Well, small detail. So are you going to speak to Shane or not?

Even if I did, I can tell you there’s no chance you’re getting immunity. Hmm. Okay, then I wanna go home. I just told you, you can’t go home. You can’t. I mean, I want to go back to Salem. If you can arrange for me to be at Statesville, forget it. I will serve my time, but I will not do. In a ISA Black site where I will cease to exist, I wanna be in a regular prison with a cellmate and a yard and a crappy little library, not in some clandestine torture chamber, which you won’t find on any map.

Make it happen. Because if they drop me into the abyss, I promise you, you will never see your beloved sweetness again.

You want Megan a talk? I’ll get her to talk. Uncle Steve’s interrogating her now, but you just said she hadn’t told him anything. Just Andrew. Five minutes. I don’t think that’s a good idea. Megan Hathaway hates my guts. She’d love to see me. Just seeing me would completely short circuit her. That’s true.

Hope gets under Megan’s skin like nobody else, and I’ll use that.

If you’re Uncle Bo alive, do you think he’d be asking permission to be eaten on that interrogation? No, he would not. He’d blow by anyone who tried to stop and he, Megan, and to get the answers he needs. Well, he’s not here to help bring your sister home, but I am Andrew. I have to do this bur you’re wrong.

Kay. My childhood wasn’t full of love. It was full of lies. What are you talking about? Mom knew that Sean wasn’t my father, and she let me grow up thinking I was a Brady. You are a Brady, all right. Like that, that rebel, that bad. The black sheep of the family, Kayla. There was a reason for all that tension and conflict, and that reason was kept from me.

You call my father a criminal. Tell me,

what do you call people who deny a child to be or even know who he really is? I’m not even gonna answer that because, because this isn’t real. It’s my reality, Kayla, and you know that I’m done being controlled by other people. I’m done with their lies. And their attempts to mold me into who they think I should be.

I decide who I’m gonna be, not Megan, not you, and your memories. I decide everything that came before this moment is in the rear view mirror. But what about all the people at home? What about, what about Sierra? What about Sean Douglass? What about them? They’re your family, both. No, this is my family. This is my history.

You could take your whitewashed Brady crap and sell it to wherever you want

in. You know what?

I’m done with this. If you wanna go parading around here, like. Young little Victor, you go, right?

Can’t let you do that. Why not?

Because I need you,

mom. Yeah. Yeah. There’s just no words. We’ve just missed you so much. Oh my. How? I’ve missed you. I just missed you. We’ve all been kind of lost without you. Wow. That’s nice to hear. I don’t think, I believe it’s true, but I was so lost without my family. Did anyone call Sammy? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I did. She’s over the moon and I left a message for, for Brady also.

Oh God. I can’t wait to tell Claire. Yeah. And will, I mean, the whole family’s gonna be walking on air. What about the two of you? What? What do you mean we’re I don’t mean that I’m alive. I mean that before I came. I heard some raised voices from the two of you. I’m sorry, mom, that was, uh, no. No. It doesn’t matter what it was.

I wanna tell you what is, I want you to know how painful it is when you love someone. As much as I love you both, and as much as you love each other. To hear you at each other’s throats like that. So I’d like you to find a way to make up to be at peace. Do you think you can do that for me?

I suppose that we could put our differences aside, at least for today. Sure. For your sake. Well, not the reconciliation I was hoping for, but I guess I’ll have to accept that.

You know, I was gonna, I was gonna make do some tea. She really wasn’t interested. Are you kids? Would you like something? And then what? Actually, I’d like to hear about this remote island. Mom said that she would tell us another time, what matters is that you’re here, you’re alive. God, mom,

sweet girl. Wait, does this mean that that Kayla. Yes it does. Yeah. There, but there were, uh, there were some complications, but, uh, but Steve’s, uh, trying to bring her home as we speak and, and cadence you like too.

It’s, Kate didn’t make it. Chad, I’m so sorry. I know how close you two were. What ha what, what happened? I don’t know. She, that doesn’t. Kate was, Kate was one of the toughest people. I I, I know. If she didn’t survive, Chad, it, it could be because she was trying to help my mom and Marlena. Maybe she sacrificed herself so that they could escape and make it back home.

Yeah. Yeah. Maybe

your mom’s gonna come home. Okay. She’s as tough as they come. You’re right about that. She will fight like hell to get back here. Yeah, she, whoever has her chance.

There’s no way I’m staying here. I am going home to my husband and my kids. Maybe you no longer care about the people in Salem, but I do.

I really do need your help. Oh. Oh, so what they gotta shoot me though, like you shot Kate. You know, I really don’t know what you expect me to do. Okay, I’ll show you

the orchid you already know about. Its life saving powers. Megan believes it can reverse the aging process. Ralph told me he was developing a serum that would turn back the clock. As you remember, he wanted to use it on me. Mm-hmm. But it’s still in the testing phase.

I also brought Ross’s notes. I don’t really see how I could help you.

Well, I need someone who. Brilliant. And who knows science and medicine, someone I can trust. So you are planning to build an empire on a flower. You keep talking about the importance of family. Um, who better than my sister to help me out with this? Okay, we are tired and hungry. I’ll fix us something to eat, then we’ll talk, eat, figure something out.

Oh, and. Don’t bother trying to leave. You won’t get too far.

Oh, that was quick.

Megan. Hello. Frowny face. I thought they put you out to pastor and I thought you were. So I guess we’re even,

Harris gave us your location, so I heard. Mm-hmm. So then you know that whatever hold you had on him is now gone. Harris is back to being the courageous, heroic. Good man. He was before he met you and you are falling for him, aren’t you?

Back in Montreal it was just cat and mouse. But you think. That now that it’s been deprogrammed, you can have something real.

I’m not here to discuss my personal life. No. I just wonder, are you sure that he’s the one for you? Are you really ready to give up on everyone? And give your heart to Michaels. What does that mean, Megan?

So Megan did this. She’s the one who shot Kate. Well, she insists she didn’t, you didn’t see it happen? No, I, I just heard the. Someone pulled that trigger. Most likely the person that has Kayla.

Okay. Super. Be ready in a, in a bit. Why don’t you take a look at Ralph’s notes now. That’s okay. Uh, come on. I know you’re curious.

What do you want me to know? What are you hinting at? Nothing. What do I know about Laos? For someone who doesn’t know a lot about it, you have a lot to say. I thought you were moving a little fast That. But life is short. If you really think that Michael’s is the one, go for it. Leave it or not. I am actually rooting for the two of you to make it.

Well, that was a smart move. Letting hope take a run at Megan as if she gave him any choice. I mean, if you want to head over there and see if she’s making any headway. Feel free, I’m not going anywhere. First of all, I wanna thank you, commander Michaels on behalf of the agency. The powers that be are fully aware that you volunteered to undergo a potentially fatal treatment in an effort to reverse what Ms.

Hathaway did to you. That act of valor not only led to her apprehension, but no doubt, save lives. We are all in your dead. Bye. Uh, I appreciate that, but I did it for myself first and foremost, so I want my life back. I don’t want my career, bud. I understand that’s probably not in the cards, so I’ve done some horrible things that I am gonna have to answer for, not necessarily.

The ISA is putting you through all of these tests to determine if the deprogramming was a success. In other words, if you’re back to being who you were before you fell under Megan’s influence, a highly respected officer who served his country with honor.

Okay? So if the test show, I’m no longer under Megan’s control, you just might walk outta here free. Man.

I meant what I said about you and Michaels. You don’t have any other prospects. When happiness shows up, we might as well grab it right.

All right, Shane signed off on your deal 20 years in Statesville. No possibility of parole provided. The information you give us leads us to the safe return of my wife.

Sign here.

What’s 20 years when you’ve been gone twice that long? Not long enough. If you ask me, I’m choosing to look on the bright side. Who knows? By the time I get out, someone may have used the orchid to create a fountain of youth and that we can all live our younger days. Perhaps next time and hope everything will turn out differently.

Now tell us who has Kayla.

So what do you think? Wow, it’s either genius or madness. Probably a little of both. Yeah. Well, I’m, I’m sure you can sort what’s useful from what’s not food. Are we ready soon?

This will be useful.

Come on, Steve. Pick up. You have five seconds to give us a name where the deal’s off. Relax, pat, you held up your end of the bargain and I’ll do the. I’ll tell you who he is.

Damn the call through.

You should check your phone again if you want. No, obsessing isn’t gonna make my father call me faster. He’ll be in touch when he has.

Maybe that’s him.

Unknown caller.

This is Stephanie Johnson. Stephanie, oh my god, mom.

Update written by Joseph

John brings Marlena home. Marlena says she’s never been so happy to see the place. John wishes she had balloons and fireworks. Marlena understands there was no time for all that. John assures that there will be a celebration soon. John wishes the entire family could be there to share his relief and this incredible miracle. Marlena repeats that she’s just so happy to be home. Marlena calls it perfect as she kisses John.

At the ISA Facility in Frederick, Maryland. Harris remains handcuffed to his hospital bed. Hope enters his room and informs him that his doctors are still determining whether or not he’s too dangerous to be set free.

Steve goes back to Megan, who is in ISA custody, and talks to her through the glass. Steve tells her to quit stonewalling and tell him where he can find his wife.

Bo brings Kayla to a cabin. Kayla complains that she’s exhausted and filthy as she questions Bo’s plan and where the hell they are.

Hope assures that Harris is not a threat or a danger to anyone as he’s been completely deprogrammed. Harris states that after all the terrible things he did, the ISA is not going to take any chances. Hope argues that they can’t possibly think he’s still under Megan’s control since he is the one who told them where to find her. Harris understands it’s still a gamble for them, so the safest move is to make him disappear. Hope says she won’t let that happen as Andrew enters the room. Hope asks if he’s going to let that happen.

John tells Marlena that he can’t believe that she’s really here. Marlena talks about what he must have gone through, thinking that he lost her. John says everybody was just so devastated, especially their kids. Marlena suggests it’s time to share the good news.

Chad and Stephanie sit together in the town square. Chad talks about their PR to successfully rehab Paulina’s image but Stephanie is distracted and looking through her phone. Chad jokes with her about not hearing him as she apologizes and asks what she missed. Chad says he was just going over the strategy for Paulina but says something is obviously on her mind and asks what’s wrong. Stephanie says she’s just waiting for an update from her dad as she hasn’t heard from him since he left which could just mean he’s super focused on trying to bring her mother’s killer to justice. Chad suggests calling him. Stephanie says she has 20 times but he’s not picking up. Chad suggests trying one more time.

Megan tells Steve that she honestly doesn’t know where Kayla is. Steve asks who took her off the island and tells her to stop wasting his time. Megan argues that he’s not going to find them. Steve demands a name. Megan says fine if he must know but Steve’s phone rings. Megan questions him not answering it and says it must be important. Steve then exits to answer the call from Stephanie. Stephanie tells him that she’s been so worried about him and asks if he’s okay. Steve says he’s fine and Megan is in ISA custody, so he’s questioning her now. Steve adds that he has some other news about her mother. Stephanie asks what it is. Steve then reveals to her that her mom is alive.

Kayla tells Bo that he still hasn’t answered her question as they bring bags of supplies inside. Kayla complains about the boat ride, ending up at a swamp, and then trekking up this mountain. Bo acknowledges that it was a rough trip but says it was worth it. Kayla argues that he made her abandon Marlena on the island and calls this a crap shack. Bo says it’s much more than that. Kayla asks what he has planned. Bo appreciates her putting up with the difficult trip, so he will let her know what his plan is. Bo then informs Kayla that she is standing in the home of Victor Kiriakis as this is where he grew up. Bo then reveals that they are in Greece.

Steve asks if Stephanie is still there. Stephanie is in shock and says she can’t believe that Kayla is really alive. Steve confirms that she is. Stephanie asks how that can be and if he’s sure. Steve repeats that her mom is alive. Stephanie asks to talk to her so she can hear her voice. Steve says she will real soon. Stephanie asks why not now. Steve explains that he’s not with her just yet. Stephanie asks if he’s not sure then. Steve assures that Kayla is definitely alive as Marlena confirmed it. Steve reveals that Marlena is alive too and John took her back to Salem from the island they were held on. Steve adds that before he could get to Kayla, one of Megan’s people took her but he assures he will not rest until he finds her and brings her home.

Bo tells Kayla that Victor’s family lost everything in the Depression, so when he was a child, he didn’t have much but that motivated him and he swore to one day get everything he desired. Bo talks about Victor dreaming of everything he would achieve and then when he got enough money, he bought this place and left it exactly as is as a reminder of where he came from. Kayla questions why they are here. Bo responds that this is where his father began to make his dreams reality, so this is where it begins for him too. Bo declares that his father built an empire, so he’s going to build one too.

Hope tells Andrew that it’s good to see him and thanks him for letting Ciara in the other day. Andrew reveals that the information that Harris gave them checked out and Megan is now in custody. Hope is excited that John and Steve found her. Andrew adds that Megan is not the only person they found.

Eric goes to John and Marlena’s and greets Belle. Belle asks what he’s doing here. Eric says that John asked him to come over. Belle assumes it’s about the search for Megan Hathaway. Eric wonders if the lead that John and Steve had didn’t pan out. Belle is surprised he cares, given how self-absorbed he’s been lately. Eric tells her to get over Sloan. Belle argues that Sloan trashed Paulina’s office and she can’t believe Eric is defending her. Eric says that Sloan said she didn’t do it and he believes her. Belle calls him delusional and brings up that after she got the civil suit thrown out, Sloan went ballistic on Chanel and Paulina in the middle of the town square. Eric argues that was because Sloan was very upset. Belle points out that Sloan threatened them and said she didn’t need court to get her revenge. Belle calls trashing Paulina’s office her first step in whatever plan she has. Eric points out that the cops questioned her and let her go because they had no evidence that she did anything wrong. John interrupts and asks what the hell is going on here. Belle says they were just having a disagreement. John tells them to knock it off. Eric asks why he called them over. John announces that they found Megan Hathaway and she’s in ISA custody. Eric says that’s great so now she can pay for killing their mom but John says actually, she can’t. Belle questions why not. Marlena then enters the room and announces that it’s because she’s alive. Eric and Belle are shocked. Belle says she doesn’t understand as Eric asks how it’s even possible. Marlena calls it a long story, but in a nutshell, Megan took her body from the hospital and had Dr. Rolf create a serum that saved her life. John states that Megan is the one who took the orchid. Marlena says she was on an island somewhere until John found her and brought her home. Marlena asks if they are going to stand there or give her mother a hug. Belle and Eric then hug Marlena, calling it incredible and a miracle.

Andrew informs Hope that Kayla and Marlena are alive. Hope excitedly hugs him and asks if they are alright and where they are. Andrew reveals that John took Marlena back to Salem but Kayla’s whereabouts are still unknown as apparently someone took her from the island, but they don’t know who since Megan refused to tell them anything but they are confident in finding a way to make her talk.

Steve tells Stephanie that’s all the information he has on Kayla but promises to get answers out of Megan. Stephanie tells Steve that he has to find her. Steve assures that he will and he will call her when he knows more. Stephanie says she loves him so much and tells him to be careful. Steve says he loves her too as they hang up. Steve goes back in to face Megan, who notes his call took awhile so she thought maybe he left. Steve says he’s not going anywhere until she tells him what he wants to know. Megan responds that she wants to make a deal. Megan says she can’t tell him where Kayla is because she doesn’t know, but she can tell him who has her after he gives her what she wants.

Bo tells Kayla that he’s going to follow in his father’s footsteps because he’s a Kiriakis and it’s what he was born to do. Kayla argues that this is all crazy talk from Megan brainwashing him. Kayla says they need to go back to Salem so he can get his head on straight. Bo argues that he’s never seen things more clear as he’s been wiped clean and gets to start over again. Bo says he gets to go down the path he was destined to go down. Bo adds that Victor came from humble beginnings, so he will too. Kayla argues that he already did when they grew up but Bo says that was her story, not his. Bo declares that he’s going to make himself from nothing like Victor did. Kayla argues that he has a history, family, and a home. Bo says this is his history and home. Kayla argues that the Kiriakis empire was a crime syndicate. Bo talks about Victor escaping poverty and becoming a giant, asking how you cannot admire that. Kayla talks about it becoming pure hate after Victor escaped. Bo talks about Victor having everything; money, power, and freedom. Kayla points out that Victor’s heart was ice cold and he’s a vengeful, vicious, ruthless man. Kayla thinks Victor is more impoverished now than ever. Kayla argues that their family may not have had much but they were rich in love and she thinks deep down he knows that. Kayla says Bo has been away for a long time but he knows that love is the most valuable thing in life. Kayla adds that if Bo could clear the confusion out of his head, he would know that she’s right and that they need to go home to the people that love them.

Stephanie informs Chad that her mother is alive, which shocks him. Stephanie says she feels like she’s dreaming. Stephanie wants to see Kayla and hold her to tell her everything that she never got to. Chad encourages that she gets to tell her all of that now as he hugs her. Stephanie says she’s so happy and she has no words for it. Stephanie tells Chad that she’s sorry since he and his family suffered a terrible loss while her family has been given this miracle. Chad assures she has no reason to apologize and exclaims that it’s amazing and incredible that her mother is alive, so he’s so happy for her. Stephanie thanks him. Chad asks if Megan was keeping Kayla captive on an island and then someone took her. Stephanie confirms that Steve is trying to find out who but he doesn’t know much of anything. Chad encourages that Steve is going to bring Kayla home. Stephanie adds that there is more and reveals that Marlena is alive too and that John brought her back to Salem. Chad is shocked and says he can’t even process any of this. Chad then asks if Kate is alive too.

Steve tells Megan that she’s not in a position to make demands. Megan asks if he wants to find Kayla. Steve assures that he will find Kayla. Megan says off he goes then. Steve stops and asks what she wants. Megan wants full immunity from everything. Steve tells her to dream on. Megan argues that he has pull with Shane and that he and John were given a pass for what they did in Hong Kong last summer. Megan asks if he will speak to Shane or not. Steve says even if he did, there’s no chance she gets immunity. Megan says she wants to go home then and she means back to Salem. Megan asks him to arrange for her to be in Statesville, then she will serve her time but she will not do it in an ISA black site where she will cease to exist. Megan wants to be in a regular prison with a cellmate, yard, and library not in a torture chamber that isn’t on a map. Megan tells Steve to make it happen because if they drop her in to the abyss, she promises that he will never see Kayla again.

Hope tells Andrew that she’ll get Megan to talk. Andrew says that Steve is interrogating her now. Hope points out that he hasn’t gotten any answers so she asks for five minutes with her. Andrew doesn’t think that’s a good idea. Hope argues that Megan can’t stand her and wants her dead, so just seeing her would make her short circuit. Harris agrees that Hope gets under Megan’s skin like nobody else. Hope says she will use that. Hope asks Andrew if his uncle Bo would be asking permission to be in on this interrogation and says he would blow by anyone to get the answers he needs. Hope says Bo isn’t here to help bring his sister home, but she is, so she has to do this for Bo.

Bo tells Kayla that she’s wrong as his childhood wasn’t full of love, but full of lies. Kayla asks what he’s talking about. Bo talks about his mom letting him grow up thinking he was a Brady despite knowing Shawn was not his father. Bo says he was the rebel and black sheep of the family. Bo says Kayla calls Victor a criminal but questions what she calls people who denies a child to be or even know who he really is. Kayla says this isn’t real. Bo calls it his reality and she knows that. Bo declares that he’s done being controlled by other people and their attempts to mold him in to what they want him to be. Bo adds that he decides who he will be, not Megan or Kayla and her memories. Bo argues that everything that came before this is in the rear view mirror. Kayla asks about all the people at home and his kids. Bo says this is his family and history, not her white washed Brady crap. Kayla declares that she’s done with this if he wants to go parading around like young Victor, he can go ahead. Kayla tries to leave but Bo stops her and says he can’t let her do that because he needs her.

Belle cries that there’s no words and says they’ve all just missed Marlena so much. Marlena feels the same while Eric adds that they’ve all been kind of lost without her. Marlena says that’s nice to hear but she doesn’t believe it’s true. Marlena says she was lost without her family. Belle asks if anyone told Sami. John confirms he left her a message and one for Brady as well. Belle can’t wait to tell Claire. Eric says Will too and the whole family will be walking on air. Marlena asks what about them. Belle says they are ecstatic. Marlena brings up that before she came in, she heard their raised voices. Eric apologizes. Marlena wants them to know how painful it is to hear them at each others’ throats, so she’d like them to find a way to make up and be at peace. Marlena asks if they can do that for her. Belle supposes they can put their differences aside, at least for today. Eric agrees for Marlena’s sake. Marlena says it’s not the reconciliation she was hoping for but guesses she has to accept that. John offers them tea. Eric wants to hear about this island. Belle notes that Marlena said she would tell them another time and what matters is that she’s here and alive as she hugs her. Belle asks if this means Kayla is alive too. Marlena confirms it does. John says there were complications but Steve is trying to bring her home as they speak. Eric asks if Kate is alive too.

Chad asks Stephanie if Kate didn’t make it. Stephanie says she’s so sorry as she knows how close they were. Chad questions what happened. Stephanie says she doesn’t know. Chad argues that Kate is one the toughest people he knows. Stephanie suggests maybe Kate was trying to help Kayla and Marlena and sacrificed herself so that they could escape and make it back home. Chad tells Stephanie that her mom is going to come home. Stephanie agrees that she will fight like hell to get back here and whoever has her doesn’t stand a chance.

Kayla tells Bo that there is no way she’s staying here as she is going home to her husband and her kids. Kayla says Bo might no longer care about the people in Salem, but she does. Bo says he really does need her help. Kayla asks if he’s going to shoot her like he shot Kate. Kayla doesn’t know what he expects her to do. Bo says he will show her and reveals the Orchid. Bo says she already knows about it’s life saving powers but Megan believes it can reverse the aging process. Kayla recalls Dr. Rolf talking about developing a serum to turn back the clock. Bo says it’s still in the testing phase. Bo reveals that he also brought Dr. Rolf’s notes. Kayla doesn’t see how she can help him. Bo explains that he needs someone brilliant, who knows science and medicine, that he can trust. Kayla questions him planning to build an empire on a flower. Bo says she keeps talking about the importance of family, so he asks who better than his sister to help him out with this. Bo acknowledges that they are tired and hungry so he’ll fix something to eat and then they will talk, eat, and figure something out. Bo warns Kayla not to bother trying to leave because she won’t get too far.

Hope confronts Megan. They comment on thinking the other was dead. Hope informs her that Harris gave them her location and whatever hold she had on him is now gone, so now Harris is back to being the courageous and heroic good man he was before meeting her. Megan guesses Hope is falling for Harris. Megan asks if she thinks she can have something real now. Hope says she’s not here to discuss her personal life. Megan questions if she’s sure that Harris is the one for her and if she’s really ready to give up on everyone else to give her heart to Harris. Hope questions what that means.

Belle questions if Megan shot Kate. John says she insists that she didn’t. Eric asks if they didn’t see it happen. Marlena confirms they just heard the gunshot. Belle remarks that someone pulled that trigger. Marlena says it’s most likely the person that has Kayla.

Bo tells Kayla that soup will be ready in a bit and suggests she take a look at Dr. Rolf’s notes. Kayla says that’s okay. Bo argues that he knows she’s curious, so Kayla then takes a look.

Hope asks what Megan wants her to know and what she’s hinting at. Megan claims it’s nothing and she just thought she was moving a little fast. Megan states that life is short, so if she really thinks Harris is the one, she should go for it. Megan remarks that she is actually rooting for them to make it.

Harris tells Andrew that it was a smart move to let Hope take a run at Megan. Andrew jokes that he had no choice. Harris tells him to feel free to check in on Hope because he’s not going anywhere. Andrew thanks Harris on behalf of the agency since they are aware that he went through a potentially fatal treatment in order to undo what Megan did to him. Andrew notes that his act of valor no doubt saved lives, so they are all in his debt. Harris says he appreciates that but assures he did it for himself first because he wants his life back. Harris adds that he wants his career back but he understands if that’s not in the cards because of the terrible things he’s done that he has to answer for. Andrew says not necessarily and explains that the ISA is putting him through all of these tests to determine if the deprogramming was a success and if he is who he was before Megan’s influence, a highly respected officer who served his country with honor. Andrew adds that if the tests show that Harris is no longer under Megan’s control, he might just walk out a free man.

Megan tells Hope that she meant what she said and that Hope doesn’t have any other prospects, so when happiness shows up, she might as well grab it. Steve returns and informs Megan that Shane signed off on her deal for 20 years in Statesville with no chance of parole, if the information she gives them leads to the safe return of Kayla. Steve hands her the papers to sign. Megan asks what’s 20 years when she’s been gone twice as long. Steve feels it’s not long enough. Megan chooses to look on the bright side and says by the time she gets out, someone may have used the orchid to create a fountain of youth so they can all relive their younger days. Megan remarks that perhaps next time, things will turn out differently. After signing the papers, Steve demands that Megan tell them who has Kayla.

Bo asks Kayla what he thinks of Dr. Rolf’s notes. Kayla calls genius and madness. Bo is sure that she can sort out what’s useful and what’s not. Bo repeats that food will be ready soon as he goes back to the kitchen. Kayla then searches Bo’s bag and finds a cell phone. Kayla calls Steve.

Steve warns Megan that she has five seconds to give them a name or the deal is off. Megan tells him to relax and agrees to hold up her end of the bargain and tell him who it is.

Kayla complains that her call to Steve did not go through.

Chad tells Stephanie that she can check her phone again if she wants. Stephanie decides obsessing won’t make him call any faster and that he will call when he has news. Stephanie then gets a call but it’s an unknown caller. She answers and is surprised that it’s Kayla.

Stefan said he was moving on since he couldn’t have Gabi. Li walked out of the room. Stefan appreciated Melinda’s help. Li went home and was surprised to see Gabi there.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Why aren’t you at the office? Good morning to you too. Good morning. And I repeat, why aren’t you at work? Aunt Maggie banished me from the office.

She thinks this would be a distraction at client meetings. So she told me to stay home until it healed. Oh, right. So it’s a image issue and it has nothing to do with the fact that you went behind her back to Victor. Okay. So you do know about that. Haven’t you been on this family long enough to know that that is a stupid thing to.

Although I sugar coated and it was also,

what’s the word I’m looking for? A really crappy thing to do.

What’s this? I begged you some lemon bars. What did I do to deserve it? Oh, I wanted to thank you for the profile of me that you ran. In the spectator, you mean the glowing profile. I didn’t recognize that woman. But I did impress some of our investors. I just printed the truth that you’re a brilliant picture on the family business and an idiot couldn’t see that.

And yes, that was a digger. Alex, speaking of Alex, I understand that you’re responsible for his black eye, and we did have a little disagreement. Mm-hmm. I wanna know what the disagreement was about.

For God’s sake. Ah. Oh, what’s going on? What happened? You overslept. I woke you. Ah. That is a lousy reason. Who’s having a dream? Harry Styles was spitting on me. It’s just getting to the good part. What? You are demented. You should watch what you say to me. This is the first time in ages I’ve been able to sleep in my own bed.

You owe me. You know what? You are right. I’m sorry. Oh, you don’t have to apologize. If it were me, I’d be hitting Alex Kiya as 24 7 2. Which does beg the question. Why were you flying solo last night?

Oh, Rachel. Sweet, sweet little girl. You have no idea how much I miss you. Damira, you’ve got a visitor. I wasn’t expecting anyone, neither were we.

Hi Molly.

I am off the hook. Leo got his merchandise. Now I’m saved from that gossip call. Ah, Chloe. I’m afraid no one is safe from the lady. What is that supposed to mean? I just turned in this new column. Chloe Lane. Brady Black’s daughter is a deranged monster like her mother. Oh my God, that double crossing. Snake Brady.

Hey. Hey. Is that the Spectator? Yeah. Yeah. I was just reading the latest, uh, column from, uh, lady Whistleblower. I can’t believe Leo. Would print this crap. Brady, I am so sorry. Please don’t hate me. I can explain.

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

Oh, oh. I,

I just can’t believe that you’re here. Daddy said he was gonna bring you here, but I didn’t know it was gonna be so soon. Where’s your daddy? He’s not here.

Does he know that you are? No, he doesn’t.

Okay.

I am so sorry. Why, why Leo’s the one spreading these rumors about my grandfather. I mean, he, he said, he said, uh, yeah, he’s going senile you, you, you had nothing to do with this. Was that all that he wrote? Uh, uh, no, there’s something else about Alex being in a fistfight and, uh, Stephan Damara and Melinda Trask, uh, being spotted together outside the Salem in, oh, can I, can I see it?

Yeah. Are you expecting something else or no? Uh, ah, then what, Chloe, why did you say, Brady? Please, please don’t, don’t hate me. Well, I ran into Leo yesterday and he asked why you and I weren’t together and I didn’t give him any details or anything, but then he said he was gonna write about it. Okay. That looks like he changed his mind.

Yeah, I guess so.

So what’s the deal? Why didn’t Alex sleep over last night? I told you I was busy working. Plus, it’s not like we’re a couple or anything. And still you don’t wanna lose momentum. What do you mean by momentum? Well, I assume you took my advice and started using Alex to makeand. Jealous. Golly. If the plan works, maybe Zander will even ask me to the hop scoff, if you must.

But the plan is already working. I heard he and Alex got into a fight. He was defending, my honor, I don’t know how it started, but it ended with Xander giving Alex one hell of a black eye.

If you want that bruise to go away quickly, you need to keep it iced. There you go. You know that from experience. Yes. I’m patching you up over the years. Ah, well I do have that kind of face, guys wanna punch it, but I punch. Does Xander look as bad as you do that? Come on, the guy had an unfair advantage.

Think about it. How long has that Neanderthal been like a, a professional muscle and yet somehow I suspect that this fight was personal? I guess so. Alex, that was my discreet way of asking you. What were you two fighting about? He doesn’t like it. That I’m sleeping with Gwen. You are sleeping with Gwen wrist check.

Yep. Voluntarily. She’s a beautiful woman dad, and she’s smart in that accent. Are you kidding me? Come on. Maybe Zander wasn’t mad at you, Alex. Maybe he was just trying to knock some scents into that thick skull of yours.

I, uh, I thought I was alone. Um, obviously. Uh, so, uh, what are you, what are you doing here? Why, why aren’t you at work? I had some, uh, use it or lose it vacation days, so I decided to take today off. Sorry, I interrupted your, Underwear dance party. Yeah. Uh, there’s some very interesting moves there. Yes, I know.

I’m a, I’m a pretty terrible dancer. Allie and Chanel both tried to teach me, but, uh, I still suck. I don’t know. You were a pretty good slow dancer in Hong Kong.

Anyone can do that. But anyway, I should probably clean this mess up. Oh yeah. I’ll, I’ll help. Yeah. I’m sorry, I was gonna grab the broom. Yeah, I was gonna get the dust pan.

I guess I’ll get the door instead. That’s probably a good idea. Yeah. Yeah.

Hey, sorry I didn’t call first. I hope I’m not interrupting anything.

Alex is sleeping with Gwen. Good heavens. Has he forgotten what she did to Sarah and let alone to Abigail, to Laura, to Jennifer, to Jack, to all the children. Maggie, I don’t think Alex was looking for a soulmate, you know? Right. What is it about her that make men so stupid? Oh, okay. Sorry. It’s fine, Maggie. I, I know how you feel about her and God knows she brought it on herself.

But look how, how you think this song, you’ll think this is stupid as well, but I just, I know Alex is gonna hurt her. Gwen’s not as tough as she likes to. Oh, so you looking out for the little lady? Oh, Xander. Men don’t punch other men to make a difference in the world. Men punch men because they’re jealous.

Okay. Yes, Alex and Zander, they got into a fight, but it’s not because Zander was jealous. He was just being a wanker about me sleeping with. Being a wanka because your ex is sleeping with somebody else defines jealousy and don’t tell Leo Stark, AKA Mattie who knows all and sees all that you are not screwing Alex to screw with Sander.

You like getting under his skin. Okay, maybe a little bit, but are not proud of it. You should be screwing with people is your best event. I shouldn’t have woken you. I should have just put a pillow over your. Would you need me? I’m the only one who can explain you to you. I don’t need you to explain me to me.

I am fully aware that I still have feelings for Sandra, but they’re not strong enough to play second fiddle to that sainted. Sarah Horton the healer. As long as he still thinks that the sun rises and sets out of a skinny ass, I, I don’t want him back. Of course you don’t, but he made you feel like dirt. So turn about his fair.

There’s nothing wrong with making him suffer a little. And like I said, you’re so good at it. So from what I understand, I, uh, I owe you an apology for what? I went to see Kristen yesterday and she told me that she called you. Yeah, she did. What did she say about it? She said that she had made some digs about you and your breakup with s Stephan, Chloe.

I’m sorry about that. You shouldn’t have to deal with that. No, it’s okay. I really shouldn’t let her get under my skin like that. Yeah, she, she, she does everything she possibly can to make your life miserable. I hate that, but I may have found a way to neutralize. At least swear Rachel’s concerned. And what’s that?

I made Kristen write a letter to Rachel saying that she needed to accept our relationship. And how in God’s name did you manage that? I played a little dirty, but Kristen wrote the letter and I gave it to Rachel last night. And how did she react? She didn’t say much, but you and I both know Kristen has some serious sway with Rachel.

Sweetheart, you used daddy’s phone and took an Uber here by yourself. Honey, that’s dangerous. But it wasn’t mommy. The driver was really nice. Okay. Okay. Uh, So you got here. How did you get in to see me? Didn’t the guards like stop you? They tried, but then I fake cried.

You told them that you had to see your mommy, huh? Yeah. They really are my daughter.

Why did you go to all this? Hmm. I mean, is is something wrong? Nothing.

Is this?

Hey, trip. How’s it hanging? Uh, good, thanks. Um, excuse me, I’m gonna go dress. Oh, don’t bother on Mike. Count.

I can tell you have questions. Um, yeah. Yeah. Like, um, does Tripp usually like to parade around the apartment in his underwear? He was home alone. Hmm. He was pretty startled when he saw me, and that’s why there’s cereal all over the floor. Got it. Now I have a question for you. What are you doing here? Uh, well I called you at the office, but they said you took the day off, so I thought maybe we could hang out.

That is, if you’re willing to forgive me.

Look, I know Gwen has done some messed up things. Aiding and abetting. A kidnapper is a little more than messed up. She didn’t aid and a bet, she just kept her mouth. How about sending Abigail and Sarah to the bin? What’s that? A lapse in judgment.

I don’t mean to shock you right now, dad. I really don’t. But it’s not Gwen’s character that I’m interested in. We’re using each other. Oh, is that what you young kids call it these days? I mean, she’s helping me get over Stephanie. I’m helping her get over Xander and full the life of me. I can’t understand why she’s hung up on the guy.

I mean, it’s a total douche bag. I’m not no jealous. Right. And punching Gwen’s new Paramore is just a what? A fit of peak. Fine. Maybe I’m just a little bit jealous. I don’t have any right to be, not since I told Gwen that I’m, you told Gwen what? I’m not over Sarah. Oh, I think about Sarah all the time. Maggie, have you, have you heard from you?

She loves her new job at the hospital and her and Rex, they’re, they’re dating there. Sander. Sorry, I didn’t mean to pry. Well, without getting into details, she’s, she’s moved on. She has new life in Chicago. She’s not looking back. I don’t think you should look back either. Surely there must be someone out there for you.

Well, I do know there’s great looking redhead, but unfortunately she’s married

to a man that you don’t wanna mess.

I know it hurt to lose Sarah, but you need to follow her lead. You need to move on. You need to let Gwen move on. Hopefully Antarctica.

That’s funny. What is, when I run a story about Chloe calling Brady’s daughter a deranged monster, I expect more than one comment, and it’s about a split infinitive, whatever the hell that is. Wait a minute, not now. All the stuff about Chloe was completely cut from my column. Did you forget to put it in? Of course not.

It was my late story. What the hell happened?

You really think it’ll work, Kristen? Writing? Rachel that letter? I really do. I don’t think it’s gonna be that long before you and Rachel the best of friends,

and maybe you and I could finally just be together again. I have missed you so damn much I’ve missed you. Then let’s get started on this. I’ll, I’ll pick Rachel up from school and then. The three of us, we will hang out. We’ll have a great time and be fun. Please say yes. Okay? Yes, I am game if you, terrific.

All right, I have to go do some work, but um, we’ll call you later.

Bye.

Sweetheart, this letter, I wrote it myself, so you’re really okay with daddy. Being with Chloe,

fucking withhold much more than just, uh, dry from here. What is that supposed to mean? You know exactly what it means. All right. I want you to think of this as just a simple of what you could lose. You are gonna write a letter to Rachel telling her that you no longer harbor any animosity towards Chloe, and that you are fine with Daddy and Chloe being together.

Okay? If you don’t, you are not gonna see Rachel ever. Honey, it’s, it’s complicated. You know what? You are a big girl now, and I think you deserve to know the truth.

Look, I know I really screwed up okay. When I swiped trip’s hospital card, but I tried to make things right. Oh, I know you did.

So does that mean you’re willing to give me another. Chance,

you know it’s hard to stay mad at you when you gimme that set. Good. I’ve been practicing that thing all morning. Oh, please. You’ve had that look down pat since you were four years old. Ah, I still have to practice every day. I don’t wanna get complacent.

So do you have a mind for it today? Well, I thought we could stream some won car y movies. And then orders some moose. You poor? No. Oh, no, no, no. I I, I didn’t choose him cuz he is Chinese. I, I, I chose him because he, he’s a great filmmaker. Okay. He is. Yeah. Thought we could start with, uh, in the mood for love.

Real start.

Hey, trip. You wanna join us for a movie? Uh, no, no, thank you. I’m, I’m gonna go for front, but have fun. We,

I can see how it could be hard to get over Stephanie. You could say that nice, good-hearted, grounded woman like Stephanie. Here he comes. I just wonder, wouldn’t it be perhaps more effective to try and get over her with someone who’s vaguely like her and not an unhinged sociopath? Am I messing things up?

Dad? It’s really hard to tell what you. I’m just thinking out loud. Okay, well, let me think out loud. Say I do meet somebody vaguely like Stephanie, I might fall in love again. That can’t happen because falling in love sucks. And yet there are so many songs that disagree with you. Oh, there’s so much sentimental propaganda.

Sex works best when it’s. How about that song? Okay, well maybe someday when you grow up you’ll think differently about it. How about we continue this conversation then? You know, I don’t mean to pry. Nah, you never do. But does Gwen know that she is, uh, only a relief player? I wouldn’t put it that way, but I assume she.

Well, I would feel a whole lot better if you nailed that down because when it comes to a woman scorned, Gwen could give the, uh, Bors gals a run for their money.

Thanks for checking, Linda. Well, did you find out what happened to my story? Was there some kind of mix up? No, it was cut on purpose. Who the hell did that?

Sander. Hey, I’m glad I ran into you. It’s not something I hear too often. Usually people see me and then turn and run the other way. Can hurt my feelings ly. Well. Have you ever tried not being an obnoxious jerk? Well, this is a concern, isn’t it? Uh, I, I’m sorry, but you did abandon me in Mexico with a psychotic drug, Lord, so it’s kind of hard not to hold a grudge.

Fair enough. But, uh, begs a question. Why are you glad to see me? I wanted to ask you about Leo’s column. When I saw Brady this morning, I thought for sure he’d wanna kill me after what I’d said about Rachel. But that didn’t end up in the story. Do you know what happened to it? I cut it. Zander. Why would Zander cut my column?

I dunno. Linda said that Zander just told her to take a cut from your draft, but it was the best part. Not to mention, it totally undermines all the work I did to double cross. Chloe. What do you mean? I asked her to get me free clothes from basic black’s latest men’s line, and then I said I wouldn’t print it.

I got one of everything in a medium. But I was gonna print it anyway. Now Chloe’s gonna think I held up my end of the bargain. Think about what that is gonna do to my reputation. Oh my darling, Massie cakes. You could donate a win to the hospital and everyone will still think you are vile, reprehensible, and completely untrustworthy.

Oh, I’m just trying to make me feel better. Mm. But Xander took all the fun out of it. Where are you going? I’m going to give that sneak a piece of my mind. Careful, there’s not much of that left.

Anyway, I should probably clean this mess up. I’ll help. I was gonna get the broom. I was the,

I am sorry. I’m not

right. Love monster. The granola not gonna happen though.

Okay. That. Was amazing. I mean the love of lighting, the angles, it was perfect. And the way that Maggie Chung and Tony Leon shared that fleeting glance of the Noodle Shop so romantic, would you say that it, um, has you in the mood for love? Yes. A sure I am not. No, I am. I am. I am suave. Okay. I am sophisticated.

Okay. Okay. Okay. Don’t, I’m sophistication. No, don’t get offended. I like that about you. The dorkiness. I mean, the way you can make me laugh even with a very fairy lame joke. Yeah. Yeah. And I like how you can somehow manage to compliment me and insult me. Okay. All at the same time. Let me put it this way. I’m really glad you came over today.

Yeah, me too,

Rachel. Honey, as you know, your daddy and I have things. We just don’t agree about it. Rachel, Isabella Black. What are you doing here? I can’t see. Mommy, you young lady is supposed to be in school. Your principal called me and told me you weren’t in class. I had used my cell to track you down here. How did you get here?

She used your phone to call an Uber? No, she stole my phone. Did you put her up to this? Did you? Oh my God, I don’t did. You certainly did. I have no idea. She was coming and you were so shocked that she showed up here that you didn’t think of calling me and letting me know that she hadn’t been kidnapped her.

She’s not in some ditch somewhere. I was going to call you. She was so upset and I just, I needed to comfort her. I wish she so upset. Well, she wanted to know if what I wrote in this letter was true, that I was okay with you and Chloe being. Mm-hmm. And what did you say to her? Well, when you burst in here, I was just about to tell her that I meant everything I wrote.

Hey, listen to me, sweetheart. I just want your daddy to be happy, and if that means being with Chloe. So

you killed Leo’s story. Oh, I’m sure you would’ve preferred I just killed Leo, period, but I’m not that guy anymore. Well, how, how did you make that happen? The perks of being the publishers. I get to decide what is and is not fit to print. And Leo’s story about you bat mouthing a little girl. It wasn’t fit in my.

Well, don’t get me wrong, I am beyond grateful. But isn’t that exactly the kind of story that the spectator wants, right, bud? So how upset you were Chloe just didn’t seem right. So what? You did it out of the kindness of your heart. I, I say, uh, just didn’t want to give Kristen any armor after what she did to Sarah, and that little twb Leo could use a reminder that I’m in charge.

So mostly I did it to be petting.

Well, whatever your motive was. Thank you. Truly, things have been so complicated for me and Brady. I’m not sure that if Leo would’ve printed that story, if we would’ve survived it.

Hey, Alex. Oh, hey, you. Sorry I, I wasn’t expecting you. No, it’s okay. I just wanted to come by and just clear some things up. About what? Just everything between us. I see it as a fun, no strings attached kind of thing. I’m not exactly looking for a relationship.

Me neither. I am very, very happy with meaningless sex. Great. Mm-hmm. Okay, then well, um, I guess I’ll take off. I’m, I’m sorry to bother you. Hang on. I mean, you, you’ve come all the way over here, haven’t you? Is that it? I mean, are you sure you don’t want to engage in more of that meaningless sex

right now?

Hey, how was your run? It’s good. How was, uh, how was the movie? Oh, great. Awesome. Great, awesome. I’m gonna go hop in the shower.

I feel like I almost got compliment merits. Hey. How long do you think he’s gonna be in the shower? Not long enough. I think we should probably get back to the movie. Right. Okay. Uh, great. Um, more unrequited love.

So you wanted to see me? Yes. I um, was talking with Alex this morning and he called me. The two of you are having some issues, so he sent you two smooth things over. No, he doesn’t know I’m here. This is a solo mission. I just want you to know that Alex knows that he messed up and that he really wants this arrangement to work.

I wanted to work too. Justin. I just don’t know for sure whether Alex is ever gonna accept the fact that I’m in charge. I think if you just give him a chance, he will eventually find a way to prove himself to you.

Working from home. Hmm. Definitely has its benefits. Mm-hmm. Hell of a lot better than a coffee break. You’re not going back to the office. No. Auntie Maggie still doesn’t want me there. Not until this eye heels up.

I’m so sorry about that. It’s not your fault. Besides, I already told you Auntie Maggie, I’m already on her bad side, so going evicted the way I did, just made it a hell of a lot worse since she’s running Titan. I just have to find a way to get more good graces

Tamira, it’s time for your shift in the laundry room. All right. Hey. Oh, I cannot tell you how wonderful it was to see you, sweetheart. Look at me. You have to promise me that you’re not gonna come here again by. Fine, whatever. Damira. I’m coming. Okay, sweetheart, I love you.

Come here.

I’m gonna double down on what your mama has said. You, you scared me today. Okay? I, I, I don’t ever want you to pull a stunt like this again. Okay. Sorry, daddy. All right. Now look, I’m gonna take you back to school and afterwards I’m gonna spend a little time with Chloe. Okay? Daddy, honey. You heard what mommy said.

She’s fine with daddy and Chloe being together, and she also wants you to give her a chance. So I want you to promise me and you’ll try fine, I promise. Thank you. Let’s get outta here.

So have I made up for the whole, leaving you in the clutches of a psychotic drug, Lord thing? Uh, no. But I am sincerely grateful for what you did. Thank you.

Update written by Joseph

Alex works from home at the Kiriakis Mansion. Justin walks in and questions why he’s not at the office. Alex informs him that Maggie banned him from the office, because she thinks his black eye would be a distraction to clients. Justin questions it being an image issue and not because he went behind Maggie’s back to Victor. Justin asks if Alex hasn’t been in the family long enough to know that was really stupid thing to do. Justin adds that it was also a really crappy thing to do.

At the Titan office, Maggie gives Xander some lemon bars to thank him for the profile on her that he ran for the Spectator. Maggie mentions that it impressed some of their investors. Xander says he just printed the truth. Maggie brings up Xander being responsible for Alex’s black eye. Xander confirms they had a bit of a disagreement. Maggie wants to know what it was about.

Gwen wakes Leo up in their room at the Salem Inn. Leo complains about finally being able to sleep in his own bed because of her. Gwen apologizes but Leo says if he was her, he’d be with Alex 24/7 too. Leo then asks why Gwen was solo last night.

Kristen sits in prison with Rachel’s drawing and talks about how much she misses her. The guard announces that Kristen has a visitor which turns out to be Rachel, surprising Kristen.

Chloe goes to the Brady Pub and sees Brady reading his tablet. Chloe begins to panic as she thinks back to Leo posting his gossip column about her calling Rachel a deranged monster like her mother. Chloe approaches Brady and asks if he’s reading the Spectator. Brady confirms he was just reading the latest gossip column and he can’t believe Leo would print this crap. Chloe apologizes as she asks Brady not to hate her and says she can explain.

Kristen hugs Rachel and says she can’t believe she’s there as she didn’t know it would be so soon. Kristen asks where Brady is but Rachel says he’s not there and reveals that he doesn’t know she is here.

Chloe tells Brady that she’s so sorry. Brady questions why since Leo is the one spreading rumors about Victor, saying that he’s going senile, so Chloe had nothing to do with this. Chloe asks if that’s all Leo wrote. Brady notes that there is something about Alex being in a fist fight and Stefan being spotted with Melinda. Chloe asks to see it so Brady shows her and asks if she was expecting something else. Chloe says no, so Brady questions why she told him not to hate her. Chloe explains that she ran in to Leo yesterday and he asked why they weren’t together and she didn’t give him any details, but then he said he was going to write about it. Brady guesses that Leo changed his mind.

Leo asks Gwen why Alex didn’t sleep over last night. Gwen says she was busy working and it’s not like they are a couple. Leo argues that they don’t want to lose momentum as he assumed Gwen was using Alex to make Xander jealous. Leo mentions hearing Alex and Xander fighting over her and ending with Xander giving Alex a hell of a black eye.

Wendy then taps him on the shoulder and startles him, causing him to spill his cereal. Tripp tells her that he thought he was alone and asks why she isn’t at work. Wendy explains that she had vacation days to use so she took the day off. Wendy jokes about interrupting his underwear dance party. Tripp acknowledges that he’s a terrible dancer and says that Allie and Chanel both tried to teach him but he still sucks. Wendy brings up that he was a pretty good slow dancer in Hong Kong. Tripp says anyone can do that. They decide they will clean up the mess but they end up getting close with one another until they are interrupted by a knock at the door. Wendy answers the door and it’s Johnny, who says he’s sorry he didn’t call first. Johnny then sees Tripp shirtless inside and says he hopes he’s not interrupting anything.

Xander informs Maggie that Alex is sleeping with Gwen which shocks her. Maggie questions if Alex has forgotten what Gwen did to Sarah, Abigail, Laura, Jennifer, Jack, and all the children. Xander doesn’t think Alex was looking for a soulmate. Maggie asks what it is about Gwen that makes men so stupid. Xander knows how Maggie feels about Gwen but worries that Alex is going to hurt her. Maggie mocks the idea of Xander looking out for her. Maggie argues that men punch other men because they are jealous.

Gwen admits to Leo that Alex and Xander got in to a fight but not because Xander was jealous, but because he was being a wanker about her sleeping with Alex. Leo argues that is the definition of jealousy. Leo believes Gwen is screwing Alex to screw with Xander because she likes getting under his skin. Gwen admits that maybe a little true but she’s not proud of it. Leo encourages that screwing with people is her best event. Gwen is fully aware that she still has feelings for Xander but not enough to play second fiddle to Sarah, so she doesn’t want him back. Leo says there’s nothing wrong with making him suffer a little and she’s so good at it.

Brady apologizes to Chloe because he went to see Kristen yesterday and she said she called Chloe and made digs about her breakup with Stefan. Brady says she shouldn’t have to deal with that. Chloe says she shouldn’t let Kristen get under her skin like that. Brady hates that Kristen does everything she can to make her life miserable, but he may have found a way to neutralize her. Brady reveals that he made Kristen write a letter to Rachel, saying that she needed to accept their relationship. Chloe questions how he managed that. Brady admits he played a little dirty but Kristen wrote the letter and he gave it to Rachel last night. Chloe asks how Rachel reacted. Brady says that Rachel didn’t say much, but they both know Kristen has serious sway with Rachel.

Kristen questions how she got in without the guards stopping her. Rachel explains that they tried but she faked crying. Kristen asks why she went to all this trouble and if something is wrong. Rachel presents the letter Kristen wrote and questions what it is about.

Wendy explains that Tripp thought he was alone and was startled when he saw her. Wendy then asks what Johnny is doing here. Johnny says he called her office but they said she took the day off, so he thought they could hang out if she is willing to forgive him.

Alex tells Justin that he knows Gwen has done some messed up things. Justin says it’s a little more than messed up and brings up what she did to Abigail and Sarah. Alex doesn’t mean to shock him but says it’s not Gwen’s character that he’s interested in and says they are using each other. Alex explains that Gwen is helping him get over Stephanie and he’s helping her get over Xander. Alex adds that he can’t understand why Gwen is hung up on Xander because he’s a total douchebag.

Xander tells Maggie that he’s not jealous then admits that maybe he is a little bit. Xander adds that he has no right to be jealous since he told Gwen that he’s not over Sarah. Xander complains that he thinks about Sarah all the time and asks if Maggie has heard from her. Maggie confirms that she loves her new job at the hospital. Xander asks if Sarah and Rex are dating now then says he doesn’t mean to pry. Maggie tells Xander that Sarah is enjoying her new life in Chicago and not looking back, so she doesn’t think he should look back either. Maggie says there must be someone out there for Xander. Maggie knows it hurt to lose Sarah but says he needs to follow her lead, move on, and let Gwen move on.

Leo opens his laptop and says he expected more than one comment after running a story about Chloe calling Brady’s daughter a deranged monster. Leo then looks it over and finds that everything about Chloe was completely cut from his column. Gwen asks if he forgot to put it in. Leo says of course not and that it was his lead story, so he questions what the hell happened.

Chloe asks if Brady really thinks Kristen’s letter to Rachel will work. Brady doesn’t think it will be long before Chloe and Rachel are best friends and maybe they can finally just be together again. Brady says he’s missed her so damn much. Chloe admits she has missed him. Brady suggests they get started on this and he’ll pick Rachel up from school, then they can hang out which Chloe agrees with. Brady says he has to go do some work but he will call her later. Brady kisses Chloe goodbye and then exits the Pub.

Kristen tells Rachel that she wrote the letter herself. Rachel asks if she’s really okay with Brady being with Chloe then. Kristen thinks back to Brady ordering her to write the letter or else she would never see Rachel again. Kristen then tells Rachel that it’s complicated, but she’s a big girl now so she deserves to know the truth.

Johnny tells Wendy that he knows he really screwed up by swiping Tripp’s hospital card but he tried to make things right which she acknowledges. Johnny asks if that means she’s willing to give him a second chance. Wendy jokes about it being hard to say no to him when he acts sad. Wendy asks what he had in mind for today. Johnny suggests streaming movies and starting with “In the Mood for Love”. Tripp comes out of his room, so Wendy invites him to join their movie marathon. Tripp declines and says he’s going for a run and tells them to have fun. Tripp then exits as Johnny and Wendy sit together to watch movies.

Justin tells Alex that he could see it being hard to get over a woman like Stephanie, but he wonders if it would be more effective to try and get over her with someone who is vaguely like her instead of an unhinged psychopath. Alex asks if he’s messing things up. Justin says he’s just thinking out loud. Alex says if he met someone vaguely like Stephanie, he might fall in love again and that can’t happen because falling in love sucks. Justin points out that many songs disagree. Alex insists that sex works best when it’s casual. Justin says maybe someday, he’ll grow up and think differently about it. Justin asks Alex if Gwen knows that she’s only a relief player. Alex wouldn’t put it that way but assumes she does. Justin says he’d feel better if he nails that down and warns him about Gwen being a woman scorned. Justin then exits.

Gwen finishes a call with the Spectator office about Leo’s column. Leo asks if there was some sort of mix up but Gwen reveals that it was cut on purpose so Leo questions who the hell did that.

Chloe leaves the Brady Pub and runs in to Xander. Chloe says she’s glad she ran in to him. Xander jokes that he doesn’t hear that often since usually people see him and run the other way which hurts his feelings. Chloe asks if he’s tried not being an obnoxious jerk. Xander says this took a turn. Chloe apologizes but brings up that he did abandon her in Mexico with a psychotic drug lord so it’s hard to forget the grudge. Xander says that begs the question of why she’s glad to see him. Chloe wanted to ask about Leo’s column with what she said about Rachel since she thought Brady would want to kill her, but that didn’t end up in the story, so she asks if he knows what happened to it. Xander reveals that he cut it.

Gwen informs Leo that it was Xander. Leo questions why Xander would cut the best part of his column and complains that it undermines all the work he did to double cross Chloe. Gwen asks what he means. Leo explains that he asked Chloe to get him free clothes from Basic Black’s men’s line and said he wouldn’t print it but then he was going to anyway and now Chloe is going to think he held up his end of the bargain. Leo complains that Xander took all the fun out of it, so he’s going to give him a piece of his mind and storms out.

Tripp finishes his run in the park and stops on the bench. Tripp thinks back to earlier and imagines kissing Wendy. Tripp tells himself it’s not going to happen and pours water on his head.

Johnny and Wendy talk about the movie they are watching. Johnny asks if it has her in the mood for love which she laughs at. Wendy tells him that she’s really glad he came over as they kiss.

Kristen tells Rachel that she and Brady have things they don’t agree on. Brady arrives and questions what Rachel is doing here when she’s supposed to be in school. Rachel says she came to see her mom. Brady complains that her principal called to tell him that she wasn’t in school and he had to use his phone to track her down. Brady questions how she got here. Kristen informs him that Rachel used his phone to call an uber. Brady argues that Rachel stole his phone and asks if Kristen put her up to it. Kristen assures that she didn’t and had no idea that she was coming. Brady questions Kristen not calling him to let him know that she hadn’t been kidnapped. Kristen insists that she was going to call him but Rachel was so upset that she needed to comfort her. Brady asks why she was so upset. Kristen responds that Rachel wanted to know if what she wrote in the letter was true and if she is okay with Brady and Chloe being together. Brady asks what she said to her. Kristen claims that before Brady burst in, she was about to tell Rachel that she meant every word she wrote. Kristen tells Rachel that she just wants Brady to be happy and if that means being with Chloe, so be it.

Chloe questions Xander killing Leo’s story and asks how he made that happen. Xander calls it a perk of being a publisher and says it wasn’t a fit in his opinion. Chloe says she’s beyond grateful but asks if that’s not exactly the type of story that the Spectator wants. Xander admits he saw how upset Chloe was and it didn’t seem right. Chloe asks if he did it out of the goodness of his heart. Xander adds that he didn’t want to give Kristen any armor after what she did to Sarah and that Leo could use a reminder that he’s in charge. Xander admits he mostly did it to be petty. Chloe thanks him because things have been so complicated for her and Brady that she’s not sure they would have survived Leo printing that story.

Alex goes to Gwen’s room. Gwen notices his black eye and says she wasn’t expecting him. Alex says he just wanted to come by and clear some things up about everything between them. Alex explains that he sees it as a fun, no strings kind of thing and he’s not exactly looking for a relationship. Gwen says she’s not either and she’s very happy with meaningless sex. Alex says that’s great then and guesses he’ll take off. Gwen points out that he came all the way over and asks if he’s sure he doesn’t want to engage in more of that meaningless sex right now. Gwen says there’s no time like the present as they start kissing.

Johnny and Wendy kiss on the couch until Tripp comes home. Wendy asks how his run was. Tripp says it was good and asks about the movie. Johnny says it was great. Tripp then heads to the shower. Wendy jokes that she feels like she almost got caught by her parents. Johnny asks how long Tripp will be in the shower. Wendy says not long enough and suggests getting back to the movie which they do.

Justin goes to see Maggie at Titan. Justin mentions that Alex told him they were having some issues. Maggie asks if Alex sent him to smooth things over. Justin says that Alex doesn’t know he’s here and that this is a solo mission. Justin assures Maggie that Alex knows he messed up and he wants this arrangement to work. Maggie says she wants it to work too but she doesn’t know if Alex will ever accept the fact that she’s in charge. Justin encourages her to give Alex a chance to prove himself to her.

Alex and Gwen lay in bed after having sex. Alex comments that working from home definitely has it’s benefits. Gwen asks about him not going back to the office. Alex explains that Maggie doesn’t want him there until his eye heals up. Gwen says she’s so sorry about that. Alex says it’s not her fault and adds that he’s already on Maggie’s bad side since going to Victor made it worse. Alex adds that he just has to find a way to get in Maggie’s good graces.

The prison guard calls Kristen for her shift in the laundry room. Kristen hugs Rachel and tells her how wonderful it was to see her. Kristen makes Rachel promise not to come again by herself. Kristen tells her that she loves her and then exits. Brady tells Rachel that she scared him today and he doesn’t want her to ever pull a stunt like this again. Rachel apologizes to him. Brady says he’s going to take her back to school and then afterwards, they will hang out with Chloe. Rachel complains but Brady reminds her that Kristen said she’s fine with it and wants her to give Chloe a chance. Brady makes Rachel promise to try and then they leave the prison but Rachel had her fingers crossed behind her back.

Xander asks Chloe if he’s made up for the whole leaving her in the clutches of a psychotic drug lord thing. Chloe says no, but she is sincerely grateful for what he did. Chloe then hugs Xander as Leo walks up and sees them. Leo then takes photos of Chloe and Xander hugging.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Sloan really trashed your office. Trashed would be an understatement. Looks like a bomb went off. I, I thought this nightmare was finally over. How are we supposed to ever feel safe? Look, it’s gonna be okay, but if Sloan is coming after us, she’ll be sorry. Ms. Stang has messed with our family for the last time.

Well, do you think the police are gonna bust her? She better hope they take care of her trifling behind, because if they don’t misbelief, I will. Well, what has happened with you ra? This doesn’t concern you, Eric. Well then what does it concern as the commissioner said, we’ll fill you in when we get to the station.

Yeah. Like hell, you will. I’m not going anywhere until you tell me what you’re bringing me in for. All right. You wanna do this here? Fine. You’ve been accused by Paulina Price of breaking into our office and trashing the place seriously. Vandalism guys, do I not look serious? Do you look pretty serious to me, boss?

Yeah. Thank you. Mm-hmm. . So you’re gonna come quietly, or are we gonna have to arrest you here and here? Boyfriend’s restaurant.

You can’t be totally shocked that your wife is being unfaithful. Gabriela is hardly the poster child for virtue. Why are you so sure Gabby and Ste are together? Because it’s the truth. We, your wife is making a cock hold of you. Do you have proof? Gabby lied about her business Dinner with Nicole.

How’s this for proof the Sailor Man? Go to room three 12 right now. You’ll find your wife in my brother’s bed.

What’s wrong? Something doesn’t feel right. What I thought you wanted this as much as I do. Well, Gabby, there’s nothing I want more in this world. Then why are you hesitating? What think it’s not gonna, as it as you remember it. Oh, no. Hell no. I have no doubt in my mind after all this time, it is going to be better than ever.

What is the problem we’re about to make love for the first time in over four years, EJ and Nicole made this happen for us. Why are we gonna, why are we gonna ruin this opportunity?

I’m sorry, Gabby. We can’t. Why the hell not? Because we’re being set up.

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

Okay, so what do you mean we’re being set up? I mean, EJ and Nicole didn’t do this out of the goodness of their own heart. They did this because it’s part of a plan. Stephen, how do you know that? Honestly, I’ve been suspicious ever since they pitched this whole secret Renez group. I had my doubts too, but I asked Nicole when she swore that her and EJ were just doing this to.

And you don’t find that odd. At this whole time, EJ has done everything in his power to keep us apart. Now all of a sudden he does a 180 and joins team Stabby. That’s right. I said it. Okay. Yes, it does sound a little odd now that I think about it. So, okay. Five, what’s, what’s your theory? My theory is that son of a bitch wants your husband to catch us together.

Well, what are you waiting for? You hold in your hand the literal key to catching Gabby and reclaiming your shares.

Gabby’s my wife in name only. Her heart and soul belongs to Stephan and as we speak, her body does as well. You’re enjoying this, aren’t you? I’m just trying to be a friend. Come. Where is your dignity? You think it’s dignified of me to go storming over there and catch her in the app? If you don’t catch us, she’s going to walk away from your marriage with Stephan and a considerable block of Damira shares, I don’t think even you would allow that to happen.

I knew you would come to your senses. Come on.

This is outrageous. Paul used her wealth and position to cover up Chanel murdering my mother and now I’m the one being brought in for questioning. One has nothing to do with the other. Yeah. Yet I’m being accused based on what Paulina price’s word. We’re not accusing you of anything that you are bringing her in for Question.

We’d like Ms. Peterson to answer a few questions on the record. You’re the one choosing to do this the hard way. Fine. Let’s just get this over with and listen, I’m gonna go down with you. No, no, no. Don’t worry about it. This is not my first rodeo. I can handle it myself. And once this farce is over, I’ll text you, okay?

Okay, ej, we’re all set. Stephan are exactly where they’re supposed to be. She didn’t trust me at first, but then in the end, she wanted her alone time with Stephan, so she was thrilled for the help. Let me know how it goes with Lee.

The court went across the street. I said I would be willingly. You don’t need a strong army. Oh my goodness. , are you arresting her? Seattle, Nicole. Oh, gotta love it when a lawyer needs a lawyer. So what are you bringing her in for? Impersonating a decent human being. Uh, please don’t interfere unless you’d like to be arrested for pending of police investigation.

Oh, don’t let me stand in your way. Good luck, Sloane. You know, I was wondering, will they let you keep those cheap hair extensions on the inside? Oh, go to hell. Love you too.

Gosh, I just keep getting better and better. Mama, the last thing I want is for you to get into any more trouble because of Sloan Peterson. Sloan is the one who started all this accusing you of murder. She tried to ruin our lies because she couldn’t face the truth. Okay, well just let the police deal with Sloan.

Okay? Well, sometimes if you want, you want something done, you gotta do it yourself. Look, Chanel is right Ms. Price. My sister and Commissioner Hernandez will make sure that woman pays for what she did to your office. You don’t, you don’t know that. What, mom, are you okay? I’m, I need to sit down here. Come sit down honey.

Honey. Because my breath, what’s going on? You can look. So love this price. Ooh, C. Don’t feel so good either. What is it you think I’m having heart attack?

I’m calling an ambulance. My phone, what the hell is my phone? Her property is Ms. Price. Can you please tell me the symptoms you’re experiencing right now?

Check my, he. Oh my God, mama, we, we need to get her to the hospital. No, just hold on a second. Do you have any jaw tightening? Arm pain? Okay. What about your stomach and your back? Any pressure in your chest? Oh, my chest is tight. No, no pain. What is going on? I wanna try something real quick. Close your eyes please.

That helps. Just a heart attack. Just trust me. Okay. Take a deep breath and through your nose, through your mouth. What are you doing? Please this price. You got this again? There you go. Deep breath in. Deep cleansing. Breath out. There you go. Deep breath in. Deep, deep breath out. You too. Chanel. What? Just try it.

All right. There you go. How are you Feeling? Better? Yeah. Oh, I feel much better. Mm-hmm. . Talia. Tell me what’s going on. I don’t think your mama was having a heart attack. Well then what is it? Have you ever suffered a panic attack before? I never panicked. I’m cool under pressure. Well, a panic attack is different.

It’s a very real medical condition with real serious symptoms. I never had one before. How do you know about about this? Tall Is a doctor Mama like a doctor? Doctor, like a real md? Yes, ma’am. Well, I hope you don’t mind my asking, but I. Why the hell did you quit medicine to work in a bakery? Oh, woo.

Hey Justin, it’s Eric. Hey, I’m, when you get this, can you call me back as soon as you can? I have a friend who needs a good attorney.

You have something to say?

I just think it’s romantic that you’re hiring a lawyer for your gal pal. I I was just wondering how does the former St. Eric feel about sleeping with a criminal? She’s not a criminal, she didn’t do it. Do what exactly. I mean, Your ex and my ex haul your current s new bed buddy down to the station. For the record, it’s none of your.

And if I did have a problem sleeping with criminals, I never would’ve shared my bed with you. You have a rap sheet just as long as your boyfriend ejs. Okay, ej. We’re all set. Gabby and Stephan are exactly where they’re supposed to be. She didn’t trust me at first, but then in the end she wanted her alone time with Stephan, so she was thrilled for the help.

Let me know how it goes with Lee.

Dear Stephan, I hope you enjoy your time with that duplicitous snake. It won’t be long before Gabriela’s husband arrives to catch him in the act.

If Lee bust in here catches us in the act that will make you forfeit your claim to his Demari shares, then EJ won’t have to worry about you and I teaming up to take back the. You don’t think you’re being paranoid when it comes to my brother? I wouldn’t put anything past him, especially working with Nicole.

I heard she was quite the schemer back in the day. I can’t believe I You believe I didn’t see through her. She was pretending to be my friend, but I guess I just wanted to be with you so badly that I made the dumb decision to believe it was real. Okay. No, no, no. Gabby, this, you and I, this is what’s real call and EJ are not our friends.

Can’t believe people would do something like this playing with our lives. You know what they’re gonna pay. They will. They will. I’m. There’s nothing I wanted more than to spend tonight with you on this bed. Um, maybe we can, we can have a quick eating house. So nothing, huh? As much as I hate to say. No, we can’t risk if there’s too much at stake.

You’re right. But we will find a way to be together, I promise. Okay, so now what we order some room service, place something on Peacock and wait for a lead to charge in. No. No. I got a better idea.

Okay. A latte for you and a nice calming chemical tea for you, . Oh, thank you. Call me Paul. Lena, you saved my life. I can ditch the formality. I didn’t exactly save your life, but, okay. You got it Paul. So how are you feeling? Oh, better. You have an excellent bedside manner, doctor and I, I hope didn’t, you know I’ll be to mind my praying about your career switch.

Oh no. It’s okay. I mean, it is a pretty radical change, jumping from medicine, working at a bakery and a substantial pay cut. Yeah, and that too, a lot of people would think it’s crazy. I don’t know. I need a change. Oh, your parents must be thrilled, mama. No, not everybody has a mother’s understanding is you do Chanel

No, she’s right. Let’s just say it was definitely, um, an adjustment period. My mother liked to say my daughter, the doctor who wouldn’t . No, it’s, but at the end of the day, she wanted to see me happy and are. I am mostly, mm-hmm. . Well, I’m just glad that you remembered all those skills you learned in med school when it came time to stop that damn panic attack.

Well, I’m happy to help, but I still want you to follow up with your primary care physician, okay? Mm-hmm.

And if you aren’t seeking a therapist, I highly suggest it seems like you’re under a lot of stress lately. Oh, I have been. All my anxieties will melt away when Sloan Peterson is behind boss. For the last time, I had nothing to do. Remodeling a Paul’s tacky office. Would someone mind telling me what’s going on?

And here, Linda, thank God Cagney and Lacy here have been trying to railroad me for a crime that I didn’t commit. What you just asking her a few questions? Commissioner a word? Yeah.

Carry on. Detective. I’ll be right back.

You mind telling me why you’re questioning a prominent defense attorney in my police station? Prominent, first of all, it’s the Peoples police station, and second, she’s a suspect in. Which crime would that be? Well, someone broke into Paulina Price’s office and ransacked the place. What makes you suspect Ms.

Peterson? Come on, animosity with Mrs. Price is well documented. What’s the problem? Sloan Peterson has been a constant thorn in my side. If you send me this case to prosecute, it better be ironclad. I can’t appear to be using my office to go after a professional riv. Of course not. You would never do that.

Damn da.

I have somewhere to be. Don’t blow it this time, commissioner. Okay.

Finally. Trask told you to let me go, didn’t she? I don’t take orders from the DA, Ms. Peterson. Maybe not, but she’s gonna be the one who has to try the flimsy case. She managed to build against me in court. I already humiliated her once. I doubt she wants to go through that again. That’s what you’re all about, huh?

Winning or losing. What else is there? Well, it’s just really interesting to me that so far you’re zero for. When going after Pauline and Chanel? Good point, detective. That’s right. Both the criminal and civil cases were thrown out. I must have upset you son. That would make me want to even the score.

I’m curious. This is this whole bad cop, bad cop thing. Usually work out for you guys. That’s from where I’m sitting. It’s just so boring.

Now I see why Salem’s so full of criminals running around this with you two idiots in charge. Where were you last night? Home. Can you verify that? Because it’s not, that doesn’t count an alibi. Were you alone, Ms. Peterson? Can someone vouch for the fact that you were home at the time that Pauling, his office was broken into?

Listen, you’re gearing up for round two. Save it. I don’t have the time to the energy. I know this may surprise you, but I don’t relish in fighting with you either, especially since you’ve gotten so good with hitting below the belt. Yeah. There’s only so much one can take before he starts fighting back.

Says the guy who literally preached about turning the other cheek, that guy lost his calling. He lost his baby. He lost his mom, his aunt, his stepmom, and the woman he loved. And when once someone’s faced with that over and over again, I say he doesn’t have another cheek to turn.

Am I interrupting something?

Please, Gabby, don’t be in this room.

What the hell are you doing with my wife? What the hell, Lee? Save your outrage for the next loser. Whose wife you try to steal. Sorry there buddy, but uh, just shut up. I know you’re under there. Gabby, at least have the decency to come out and face me. All right, fine. Happy now. Whoops.

I am. I don’t understand. Oh, we should never explained it to you. You see when a boy bee likes a girl bird thing. Okay, what the hell’s going on here? Lee, you’re the one who burst into this room. You tell me. Yeah. How did you get in here anyway? Do the people of. No, you’re sleeping with a member of the Demer crime family.

sorry. We’re a crime family. Now what I do off the clock is my business, and you are the last person who should be casting stones, considering you used the family’s mad scientist, a Brainwasher man, and keep him away from his wife. She’s talking about me. Mm-hmm. , by the way, Lee, you still haven’t explained why you walked in here screaming about.

Why did you think your wife would be in here? You’re the one responsible for keeping us apart. Remember? Yeah. I’m still wondering how you got a copy of the room key. Maybe that’s something I should look into once I’m back on the clock. That’s a good idea. Until then if like, excuse me, I’d like to go back to enjoying my evening.

Why are you just standing there gaping at us? It’s kind of creepy. I wasn’t even aware you knew each other. Oh, I’ve had my eye on this one for quite some time. We bumped into each other and sparks flu. Hmm. A woman has needs. And I’m a sucker for a powerful man since you’ve made it next to impossible for me and Gabby to reunite you.

And I might as well move on with her. Yeah. You gonna throw him out or? Shall I? That won’t be necessary. I’ll go.

You’re welcome.

We don’t have all night Ms. Peterson. Is there anyone who can confirm your alibi or not? I was at home. . In other words, no, I’m sorry that I don’t have a witness whenever I’m in my apartment. But then again, it really doesn’t seem like you guys have evidence, fingerprints. I maybe some d n of course not because I wasn’t there.

I didn’t vandalize Paulina Price’s office. Just like you didn’t vandalize sweet bits a few months ago. You know? Are we done here? You guys have no grounds to hold me on and absolutely no proof of me committing any crime.

All right, you’re free to go. Thank you for this colossal waste of my time and the taxpayer’s money. Yeah. Well, one more thing before you go. What if you are harassing Pauline and her daughter? It ends. You’re on our radar. Your radar. Yeah. We’re watching you. Every move. Give you so much as cut. Paulina Orch, elephant traffic.

Your ass will be back here. Mm-hmm. . And next time we press charges, Hmm. Well you better hope that there’s not a next time because this is blatant harassment. And if you continue to use the Salem Police Department to bully me on behalf of your boss, mayor Carver, then I will make it my life’s mission to make sure that the two of you can’t even work security at the Salem Mall.

And all my experience, once you start having panic attacks, they don’t normally go all the way on their own child. Please, I’ve survived an abusive partner. Give me up my firstborn daughter, losing my husband, and any kind of trauma that you can name, I don’t get through this, mama. You don’t have to act tough.

I am tough now that I know what this is. I’ll deal with it. There’s no shame in getting a little help. I’m fine. Look, I’ve seen it way too many times. Okay. Black women stressed and anxious suffering in silence cuz they think they have to be strong all the time. Don’t worry, I will make sure that mama follows up even if I have to make the appointment and drive her there myself.

Yeah, yeah. Well, you know, let’s not forget who the mom is around here.

Is there a reason why the two of you keep showing up in my family’s restaurant, Eric, is that any way to treat paying customers, especially in this, I don’t care. What would dear Sweet Mob Brady say about that? She would say that sometimes the money. isn’t worth it. Sometimes the customers aren’t worth the trouble.

As delightful as this has been, I have somewhere I need to be. You’re not even going to take our order. I’m still looking forward to a robust bowl of your famous Goul. Oh, . Sorry. Shout. I’ll be sure to send over one of my servers. By the way, leave a nice tip.

I don’t think he’s sending over a so, huh uh, right. Yeah. Soap. Oh, what did Agnes, nothing important. So, so did you hear from Lee? Not yet, but I think the poor fellow is somewhere licking his wounds after finding Stephan on top of Gabriela poor underneath . By either way, now that Lee is reclaiming his shares from Gabby.

She’ll never be a threat to my reign.

What’s the matter? You seem surprised to see me.

Are you okay? It looked like you’ve seen a ghost. You do remember? I live here too. Yeah. I, um, I just wasn’t expecting to see you. Why not? I, um, I figured you’d, uh, still be out with Nicole. How is the business dinner? Oh, you’re not gonna believe this. Try me. Nicole had no intention of discussing potential fashion partnerships.

Then why’d she invite you out? Get this the whole thing with a setup.

Come on. All right. If dress is on her way, you think you can twist her? No, but she hates EJ as much as anybody else besides, I think she has a little bit of a crush on me. Oh, great. EJ thinks he’s got one over on us. It’s time for UJ to know he’s playing checkers and we’ve been playing chess. All right.

Well, good luck. Who needs luck when I have you. I love you, Stephan. I love you too. Okay. This will happen again soon. I just, I don’t wanna be here when me s

Thank you again for doing this. Oh, it was actually kind of fun. I dabbled in a little theater when I was in college. Mostly one acts, but they kept casting me as the villain. Go figure. Well, I mean, once being in a courtroom, but one big performance. Right? And he really brought down the house tonight. Oh.

Anything to cause harm to ej. God deserves to suffer after he helped your psycho sister Kristin of a justice. My family really does make your life more d. I don’t know how you stand them. Your brother pretending to want to help you and Gabby be together only to set you up . That’s how we Dara’s role. My God knows Gabby’s not my favorite person in the world, but.

That’s just vi indeed. But thanks to you, EJ was the big loser tonight. Just wish I could be there when he realizes we got the better of him.

Oh, I’d much prefer a bottle of vco, but any Putin stone. Elvis, just make the toast to Stefan and Gabriela. May their I prudent reunion solidify my hold on mirror for generations to come.

Oh. Well, well thanks for nothing, commissioner. Glad to see my tax dollars is going right in the toilet. Oh, what happened? And Jayla let Sloan walk right out of the police station. No charges nothing. That woman is free to terrorize our family with no consequences. Okay, mama, calm down. You’re eating all worked up again.

Damn right. I’m getting worked up. Okay, but you don’t wanna have another panic attack. Look, Chanel is right in this price. Paulina, remember to breathe. Yes, yes, yes. I’m breathing. I’m breathing.

Once I pointed out that they had no evidence tying me to the break in the Paul’s, they had to let me go believe you that you didn’t do it. No. I still think that Rafe and your delightful ex believe I’m guilty.

Are you? Am I what? Guilty. Did you do it?

Nicole took me out to Tri Act all friendly with me. She even said she’s sneaking me into the Salem. In the Salem in, yeah, for a secret. Ron David with Stephan. What’d you say? Well, I refused, of course. I told her I’m married to you. You know, from what I’m getting. Nicole’s working with ej, you know, they were hoping that I would take the bait, catch me cheating, and then wrap me out to you.

I see as if I would risk losing all your dememer shares for some role in the hay. You weren’t. A deal’s a deal. I am your committed and faithful wife, at least until the end of our agreed upon term. Listen, I’ve had a really long day. I’m gonna have to bet you in the morning.

Oh, as fun as this was, I better get going. Tell your girlfriend she owes me one. We both do. I am well aware and I intend on calling in my marker. The second, the two of You’re in control of Dira, what are you looking for? I don’t know. Um, seat on the corporate board. Sizable donation to the foundation I set up in my daughter’s honor.

Whatever you want is yours. Oh, be careful what you promised, Stephan. You know I wasn’t lying to Lee when I said. I’ve had my eye on you for quite some time. Mm-hmm. , , , flattering as that is my heart and all my other body parts. belong to Gabby. Well, I hope she knows how lucky she is. I’m the lucky one. Well, I also know that she’s kind of a train wreck when it comes to relationships.

So if things don’t work out between the two of you, oof, you know where to find me.

I’m curious about something, right? When Lee burst through the door, I mean, Stephan had to know that we set him up, not assume, okay, so he’s not gonna be very happy with either one of us, but you’re his brother. He’ll get over it. And I’m willing to sacrifice our brotherly bond to make sure Gabby never gets her grubby little fingers on anything else of mine.

So are you going to tell me why Eric had his niggers in the twist earlier? Ah, well, no surprise. Turns out his girlfriend Sloan is as crooked as her clients. Yeah. Wow. Mm-hmm.

you think I trashed Pauline’s office? I’m not saying you did it with your own hands. You could have hired somebody to do your work. You’re unbelievable. I’m not judging you, but when I think about those responsible for taking away my mother, there’s. Telling you how much I want them to suffer in every way.

Fine. You need me to say it. I’ll say it. I didn’t trash Paulina’s office. I didn’t pay someone to trash Paulina’s office. I’m innocent.

Okay.

I.

You should go on home. I will. I’m just looking through the evidence from Paulina Price’s file. Anything we missed? No. I really wanted to get something to nail that SMUGs Sloan Peterson. Yeah, I hear you should have heard Pauline’s voice on the phone when I told her that we had to release Sloan. We’ll get her next time.

Bus. Yeah. Yeah. If he plans for tonight. Oh yeah. Exciting. I was thinking of heading home, you know, mashables loose and then dine in on some leftover pizza with a side of general SO’S chicken. Oh, a coincidence. I was gonna do the same while dining on a frozen lasagna with a side of frosted pop tar. E Frosted.

Oh, look at you fancy pants. , , Damaris, and Kiki ain’t got nothing on you? Nope.

Uh, good night. Yeah, Janet,

thanks for being so good with my mom earlier. She doesn’t like listening, does she? Not really her thing. But you did gain her trust and mine. If you weren’t there, I might’ve had a panic attack myself. . I’m just glad she’s okay. Yeah. You worried about her? Yeah, I, she, she puts on this brave front, but I can tell that this message Sloan is really starting to get to.

I just, I dunno how much more she can take.

Oh, what a damn mess. Only an animal would do something like this. Oh, oh, what is this? This wasn’t here before. Somebody must have got in the office after the police left.

Update written by Joseph

Chanel questions Paulina about Sloan trashing her office and says she thought this nightmare was finally over. Chanel asks how they are ever supposed to be safe with Sloan continuing to come after them. Chanel asks if the police are going to take care of Sloan. Paulina responds that they better because if they don’t, she will.

Eric asks Rafe what has happened. Rafe says it doesn’t concern him. Sloan asks what it does concern. Jada says they will fill her in at the station. Sloan refuses to go anywhere unless they tell her what they are bringing her in for. Rafe informs Sloan that she has been accused by Paulina of breaking her in to her office and trashing the place. Sloan laughs off the idea of vandalism. Rafe asks if Sloan will come quietly or if they will have to arrest her here in her boyfriend’s restaurant.

EJ tells Li that he can’t be totally shocked that his wife is being unfaithful. Li asks why he’s so sure that Gabi and Stefan are together. EJ calls it the truth that Gabi is making a cuckold of him. Li asks if EJ has proof that Gabi lied about her business dinner with Nicole. EJ hands Li a keycard to the Salem Inn and instructs him to go to room 312 where he will find his wife in his brother’s bed.

Gabi and Stefan kiss in the room at the Salem Inn until Stefan stops and says something doesn’t feel right. Gabi thought he wanted this as much as she does. Stefan assures that he does so Gabi questions him hesitating and what the problem is. Gabi says they are about to make love for the first time in four years and points out that EJ and Nicole made this happen for them so she questions wasting this opportunity. Gabi kisses Stefan again until Stefan stops and says they can’t because they are being set up. Gabi questions what he means. Stefan explains that EJ and Nicole didn’t do this out of the goodness of their heart, but as part of a plan. Gabi asks how he knows that. Stefan says he’s been suspicious ever since they came up with the idea. Gabi admits she was too but Nicole swore that they were just doing this to help them. Stefan questions her not finding it odd that EJ has done everything in his power to keep them apart, but now suddenly does a 180. Gabi admits it does sound odd now that she thinks about it. Stefan believes that EJ wants Li to catch them together.

EJ questions what Li is waiting for when he holds the literal key to catching Gabi and reclaiming his shares. Li responds that Gabi is his wife. EJ says that’s in name only while her heart and soul belongs to Stefan, and as they speak, her body does as well. Li questions if EJ is enjoying this. EJ claims he’s just trying to be a friend and asks where his dignity is. Li questions if it would be dignified to go catch Gabi in the act. EJ warns that if he doesn’t, Gabi will walk away from his marriage with Stefan and a considerable block of DiMera shares. EJ doesn’t think even Li would allow that to happen. Li takes the key card so EJ says he knew he would come to his senses.

Sloan calls this outrageous that Paulina used her wealth and position to cover up Chanel murdering her mother and now she’s being brought in for questioning. Rafe points out that one has nothing to do with the other. Sloan questions being accused based on Paulina’s word. Rafe says they aren’t accusing her of anything yet. Eric asks about them bringing her in for questioning. Jada says they just want to ask her a few questions on the record and not do it the hard way. Eric offers to go with Sloan but she says she can handle it herself. Sloan tells Eric that she will text him when this farce is over as she kisses him.

Nicole walks past the Brady Pub and calls EJ, leaving him a message that everything is set up and Stefan and Gabi are where they are supposed to be. Nicole notes that Gabi didn’t trust her at first but in the end it all worked out. Nicole says to let her know how it goes with Li and hangs up. Jada and Rafe then walk out of the Pub with Sloan. Nicole excitedly asks if they are arresting her. Rafe tells Nicole to stay out of it. Nicole comments that you got to love it when a lawyer needs a lawyer. Nicole questions what Sloan is being brought in for. Jada threatens Nicole about getting in the way of a police investigation. Nicole says she won’t get in the way and mocks Sloan’s hair extensions. Sloan tells Nicole to go to Hell as Jada escorts Sloan away and Rafe follows. Nicole remarks that this night just keeps getting better and better.

Chanel argues that the last thing she wants is for Paulina to get in any more trouble because of Sloan. Paulina complains that Sloan started all this by accusing Chanel of murder and trying to ruin their lives because she couldn’t face the truth. Chanel tells Paulina to just let the police deal with Sloan. Paulina says that sometimes you have to take things in to your own hands. Talia agrees with Chanel and assures that her sister Jada and Rafe will take care of Sloan. Paulina argues that she doesn’t know that. Paulina then starts having chest pains and says she needs to sit down. Chanel begins to worry as Talia notes that she doesn’t look so well. Chanel questions what is happening. Paulina responds that she thinks she’s having a heart attack. Chanel says she’s calling an ambulance but can’t find her phone. Talia checks Paulina’s pulse and notes it’s elevating. Talia asks Paulina about her symptoms. Paulina mentions having trouble breathing. Chanel worries that they need to get her to the hospital. Talia tells her to hold on. Talia asks Paulina more about her symptoms while Chanel questions what is going on. Talia wants to try something and has Paulina close her eyes and breathe. Chanel questions what she’s doing while Talia assures that she’s got this. Talia tells Chanel to try it too. Paulina admits she feels much better. Chanel asks Talia what’s going on. Talia doesn’t think Paulina was having a heart attack and suggests it was a panic attack. Paulina says she’s never had one before and questions how Talia knows about this. Chanel reveals that Talia is a doctor which she confirms. Paulina is surprised and asks why the hell Talia quit medicine to work at a bakery.

Eric calls Justin and leaves a message to call him back as soon as he can as he has a friend who needs a good attorney. Eric hangs up as Nicole enters the Pub. Eric questions if she has something to say. Nicole remarks that it’s romantic that he’s hiring a lawyer for his gal pal. Nicole asks how Eric feels about sleeping with a criminal. Eric argues that she’s not a criminal and didn’t do it. Nicole asks what it is and why their exes hauled his new bed buddy down to the station. Eric tells Nicole that it’s none of her business and remarks that if he had a problem sleeping with a criminal, he never would’ve shared his bed with Nicole because she has a rap sheet just as long as her boyfriend EJ’s.

EJ listens to Nicole’s voicemail after leaving the apartment. EJ remarks that he hopes Stefan enjoys his time with Gabi because it won’t be long before her husband arrives to catch them in the act.

Stefan tells Gabi that if Li busts in and catches them in the act, then Gabi will forfeit her DiMera shares and EJ won’t have to worry about them teaming up to take back the company. Gabi asks if he’s not being paranoid. Stefan says he wouldn’t put anything past EJ and mentions Nicole being quite a schemer back in the day. Gabi can’t believe she didn’t see through Nicole pretending to be her friend and guesses she just wanted to believe so bad that this was real. Stefan assures that they are real but Nicole and EJ are not their friends. Gabi can’t believe they would play with their lives like this and says they are going to pay. Stefan says he’s sorry as there’s nothing he wanted more than to spend the night with her in bed. Gabi suggests maybe they can have a quickie since something is better than nothing. Stefan hates to say no but says they can’t risk it because there’s too much at stake. Gabi agrees. Stefan promises they will find a way to be together. Gabi asks what they do now. Stefan responds that he has an idea.

Talia brings a latte for Chanel and a calming tea for Paulina. Paulina credits Talia for saving her life and admits she’s feeling better. Paulina hopes she doesn’t mind her prying about her career change. Talia admits it’s a radical change to jump from medicine to a bakery. Paulina calls it a substantial pay cut as well. Talia knows a lot of people would think it’s crazy but says she needed a change. Paulina wonders how her parents felt. Talia admits there was an adjustment period since her mother loved calling her a doctor but in the end, she wanted to see her happy. Paulina asks if she is happy. Talia says she mostly is. Paulina is glad that she remembered all her skills when it came to stopping her panic attack. Talia is happy to help but still wants her to follow up with her physician. Talia suggests a therapist as well since it seems she’s under a lot of stress lately. Paulina states that all her anxiety will melt away when Sloan is behind bars.

Rafe and Jada bring Sloan to the interrogation room where she denies having anything to do with the remodeling of Paulina’s tacky office. Melinda Trask walks in and questions what is going on in here. Sloan complains that Rafe and Jada are trying to railroad her for a crime she didn’t commit. Rafe states that they are just asking her a few questions. Melinda asks for a word with Rafe and exits the room. Rafe tells Jada to carry on and he’ll be right back as he exits. Melinda asks Rafe why he’s questioning a prominent defense attorney in her police station. Rafe informs her that she is a suspect in a crime because someone broke in to Paulina’s office and ransacked the place. Melinda asks what makes him suspect Sloan. Rafe points out that her animosity with Paulina is well documented. Rafe questions what the problem is. Melinda explains that Sloan has been a thorn in her side so if he sends this case to prosecute, it better be iron clad because she can’t be accused of using her office to go after a professional rival. Melinda gets a text and says she has somewhere to be. Melinda warns Rafe to not blow it this time as she then exits the station. Rafe goes back in to the interrogation room. Sloan guesses that Melinda told him to let her go. Rafe says he doesn’t take orders from the district attorney. Sloan points out that Melinda will be the one to try the flimsy case against her in court and she already humiliated her once, so she doubts that Melinda wants to go through that again. Jada asks if Sloan is all about winning or losing. Sloan asks what else is there. Jada calls it interesting that Sloan is 0 for 2 in going after Paulina and Chanel. Rafe points out that both her criminal and civil cases were thrown out, so that must have upset Sloan. Jada notes that would make her want to even the score. Sloan asks if their bad cop routine really works out for them and calls it boring. Sloan mocks that this is why criminals are running around Salem because they are in charge. Rafe asks where Sloan was last night. Sloan says she was home. Jada asks if she can verify that, because if not, it doesn’t count as an alibi. Rafe questions if Sloan was alone or if someone can vouch for the fact that she was home at the time Paulina’s office was broken in to.

Eric tells Nicole to save it as he doesn’t have the time or energy. Nicole says she doesn’t relish fighting with him, especially since he’s gotten so good at hitting below the belt. Eric responds that there’s only so much one can take before fighting back. Nicole argues that Eric used to preach turning the other cheek. Eric says that guy lost his calling, his baby, his mom, his aunt, his stepmom, and the woman he loved. Eric says after facing all that, there’s no cheek left to turn. EJ then enters the Pub and asks if he’s interrupting something.

Li goes to the Salem Inn, hoping that Gabi is not in the room. Li then enters Room 312 and finds Stefan in bed with who he believes is Gabi. Li screams at Stefan about being with another man’s wife and expresses his outrage at Gabi to come out and face him, but Li is shocked when it’s revealed to be Melinda that was in bed with Stefan! Li says he doesn’t understand while Stefan points out that he’s the one who burst in the room. Melinda asks how Li got in anyway. Li questions if the people of Salem know that Melinda is sleeping with a member of the DiMera crime family. Stefan laughs at that while Melinda says what she does off the clock is her business and he is the last person to be casting stones, since he used the DiMera’s mad scientist to brainwash a man away from his wife. Stefan adds that Li still hasn’t explained why he walked in screaming at Gabi and questions why he thought his wife would be in here. Stefan reminds Li that he’s responsible for keeping them apart. Melinda still wonders how Li got a copy of the room key and suggests looking in to that when she’s back on the clock. Melinda tells Li that until then, she’d like to get back to enjoying her evening. They question Li just standing there. Li remarks that he didn’t even know they knew each other. Melinda claims she’s had her eye on Stefan for quite some time, then they bumped in to each other and sparks flew. Melinda says a woman has needs and she’s a sucker for a powerful man. Stefan tells Li that he’s made it impossible for he and Gabi to reunite, so he figured he might as well move on. Melinda threatens to throw Li out, so he agrees to leave and then exits the room. Melinda tells Stefan that he’s welcome.

Rafe tells Sloan that they don’t have all night and questions if anyone can confirm her alibi or not. Sloan states that she was at home alone. Jada points out there’s no alibi. Sloan is sorry that she doesn’t have a witness to being in her apartment but points out that they don’t have any evidence. Sloan says there’s no fingerprints or DNA because she wasn’t there and didn’t vandalize Paulina’s office. Jada brings up Sloan vandalizing the bakery before. Sloan argues that they have no proof of her committing any crime so Rafe agrees that she’s free to go. Sloan thanks them for wasting her time. Rafe warns Sloan that if she is harassing Paulina and Chanel, it ends now as she is on their radar and they will be watching her every move. Jada adds that if Sloan even cuts off Paulina or Chanel in traffic, she will be back here. Rafe says next time, they’ll press charges. Sloan calls this harassment so they better hope there’s not a next time. Sloan warns that if they continue to use the station to harass her on behalf of Abe, then she will make it her life’s mission to make sure they can’t even work security at the Salem mall. Sloan then exits the room.

Talia tells Paulina that in her experience, once panic attacks start, they don’t usually go away on their own. Paulina talks about going through an abusive husband, giving up her first child, and any other trauma, so she can get through this. Chanel tells Paulina that she doesn’t have to act tough. Paulina assures that she’ll deal with it and she’s fine. Talia encourages her not to think she has to be strong all the time. Chanel says she will make sure that Paulina follows up even if she has to make the appointment and drive her, herself.

Eric questions if there’s a reason why EJ and Nicole keep showing up in his family’s restaurant. EJ asks if that’s any way to treat paying customers. Eric doesn’t care as sometimes the customers aren’t worth the trouble. Eric then gets a text from Sloan that she’s out and tells him to come over. Eric then says he has somewhere to be. EJ questions him not taking their order and sarcastically claims he came for clam chowder. Eric says he’ll send over one of his servers and tells them to leave a nice tip as he storms out of the Pub. EJ doesn’t think he’s sending over a server and asks Nicole what he missed. Nicole calls it nothing important and asks if he heard from Li. EJ says not yet but he thinks he’s licking his wounds after finding Stefan on top of Gabi. EJ adds that now that Li is reclaiming his shares from Gabi, she will never be a threat to his reign at DiMera again.

Li returns home to find Gabi watching TV. Gabi asks him what’s the matter as he seems surprised to see her. Gabi asks if he’s okay as he looks like he’s seen a ghost. Li says he just wasn’t expecting to see her and figured she’d still be out with Nicole. Li asks about her business dinner. Gabi says that Nicole had no intention of discussing potential fashion partnerships and that the whole thing was a setup.

Stefan thinks back to sneaking Gabi out of the room and telling her about the plan with Melinda. Stefan thanks Melinda again for doing this. Melinda calls it kind of fun and says it reminded her of being in theater in school. Melinda says anything to help bring down EJ as he deserves to suffer after helping Kristen evade justice. Stefan acknowledges that his family really does make her life more difficult. Melinda doesn’t know how he stands them. Melinda talks about his brother pretending to want to help him and Gabi be together, only to set him up. Stefan jokes that’s how the DiMeras roll. Melinda notes that Gabi is not her favorite person in the world but that’s just vile. Stefan agrees and says thanks to her, EJ was the big loser tonight. Stefan wishes he could be there when EJ realizes they got the better of him.

EJ and Nicole have dinner at the Pub. EJ toasts to Stefan and Gabi’s reunion solidifying his hold on DiMera for generations to come.

Paulina finishes a call with Rafe, angrily thanking him for nothing. Chanel asks what happened. Paulina informs her that Rafe and Jada let Sloan walk right out of the police station with no charges, so she’s free to terrorize them. Chanel urges her to stay calm so she doesn’t have another panic attack. Talia agrees and reminds Paulina to breathe. Paulina says she’s going to grab a few things in her office. Chanel offers to drive her but Paulina insists that she’s fine and has a driver. Paulina thanks Talia for all her help and tells them to have a nice evening as she walks away.

Eric goes to Sloan’s apartment and asks if she’s okay and what happened at the station. Sloan calls it a complete waste of her time and that she pointed out that they had no evidence, so they had to let her go. Eric asks if they believe she didn’t do it. Sloan thinks they still believe she’s guilty. Eric then asks if she is guilty of doing it.

Gabi informs Li that Nicole took her out, tried to act all friendly, and even said she would sneak her in to the Salem Inn for a secret rendezvous with Stefan. Gabi claims that she refused and said she was married to Li. Gabi adds that she believes Nicole is working with EJ and hoping that she would take the bait, so they could catch her cheating and rat her out to Li. Gabi claims she would not risk all his DiMera shares for some roll in the hay. Li questions if she wasn’t tempted. Gabi claims that she is his committed and faithful wife until the end of their agreed term. Gabi decides she is heading to bed and says she’ll see him in the morning.

Melinda tells Stefan that she better get going and adds that Gabi owes her one. Stefan says they both do. Melinda adds that she intends on calling it in the second they are in control of DiMera. Stefan asks what she’s looking for. Melinda suggests a seat on the board or a sizable donation to her fund in her daughter’s honor. Stefan tells her that whatever she wants is hers. Melinda warns him to be careful what he offers and jokes that she wasn’t lying when she said she had her eye on him for some time. Stefan calls that flattering but says he belongs to Gabi. Melinda hopes she knows how lucky she is. Stefan feels he’s the lucky one. Melinda brings up that Gabi is kind of a trainwreck at relationships, so if things don’t work out for them, he knows where to find her. Melinda then exits the room.

Nicole tells EJ that when Li bursts in, Stefan has to know that they set him up, so he won’t be happy with them but EJ is his brother. EJ argues that he’ll get over it and he’s willing to sacrifice their brotherly bond to make sure Gabi never gets her fingers on anything else of his. EJ asks if Nicole is going to tell him why Eric had his knickers in a twist earlier. Nicole responds that it’s no surprise but it turns out Sloan is as crooked as her clients.

Sloan questions Eric thinking she trashed Paulina’s office. Eric argues that he’s not saying she did it with her own hands but she could’ve hired someone to do it. Sloan calls him unbelievable. Eric says he’s not judging her but when he thinks about those responsible for taking away his mother, there’s no telling how much he wants them to suffer. Sloan assures Eric that she didn’t trash Paulina’s office, she didn’t pay someone to do it, and she’s innocent. Eric says he believes her and hugs her.

Jada goes over papers at her desk. Rafe suggests she go on home. Jada says she will but she was going over papers from Paulina’s file. Jada really wanted to find something to nail Sloan. Rafe says she should’ve heard Paulina on the phone when he told her they had to release Sloan. Jada encourages that they will get her next time. Rafe asks if Jada has big plans tonight. Jada jokes about going home and having leftover pizza and chicken. Rafe jokes about doing the same but with pop tarts. They say goodnight to each other as Jada then leaves the station.

Chanel thanks Talia for being so good with her mom earlier. Talia acknowledges that Paulina doesn’t like listening. Chanel says she did gain their trust. Talia is just glad Paulina is okay and notes Chanel worrying about her. Chanel says she can tell this mess with Sloan is really starting to get to Paulina, so she doesn’t know how much more she can take.

Paulina goes to her office and complains about the mess, saying only an animal would do something like this. Paulina finds an envelope that wasn’t there before. Paulina opens the envelope to find a paper with pasted on letters saying “This Isn’t Over Bitch”

Recap written by Michele and Cheryl

Paulina went to the police station to talk to Rafe and Jada. Paulina wanted to know why Sloan wasn’t arrested. Rafe and Jada didn’t know what they were talking about. Paulina told them what was going on with Sloan. She told them that Sloan trashed her office. She said Shawn kept the report too secret. She said she was afraid for Chanel. Rafe and Jada let her know that they didn’t have enough evidence to arrest Sloan. They said they could bring her in for questioning. Sloan went to the pub and told Eric that she was upset about her case against Paulina being thrown out. She was also upset that he wouldn’t start his art gallery at Sweet Bits. He said he couldn’t believe she was worried about him after what she was going through. She said he was important to her. She said he was the only thing to kept her from obsessing over Paulina and Chanel. They looked online for potential art galleries. They found two places. She invited him to go back to her place. Rafe and Jada showed up to bring Sloan in for questioning. When Gabi came home, Li wanted to praise her for the successful meeting. He said she was on her way to building a second fashion empire. She asked what he was up to. He said he hoped this changed the way she felt about him. He said he wanted to watch her show her talent to the world.

Nicole told EJ that she anonymously booked a room at the Salem Inn for Stefan and Gabi. EJ said he would make sure Stefan and Gabi showed up. He said Li needed to catch them in the act. Stefan showed up. EJ and Nicole told him about the room they booked for him and Gabi. Stefan said the room was public. They said everything was handled discreetly. After EJ and Nicole convinced Stefan to meet Gabi, he told them to make the arrangements. When Nicole left, Stefan said he was excited about meeting with Gabi after all this time. He was worried Gabi wouldn’t trust Nicole and that would ruin everything. He said he wanted to give Gabi a heads up. EJ gave him a burner phone so he could talk to her. Nicole went to see Gabi. She told Gabi that she heard about her meeting. She offered Gabi a job at Basic Black. Nicole asked her to get a drink so they could talk. Gabi and Li were suspicious of her.
