THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

You didn’t push your plate away without eating anything. I’m gonna take that as a good sign. Take it any way you want, Gabby. I will do anything. Anything to get back in your good grace. Well, it’s gonna take a lot more than scrambled eggs. Scrambled eggs with Teresa, and I’m a patient man. After six months, I’m gonna wait on time.

We need to cut it down on these fattening breakfasts, if you remember. I do have other talents.

I’m gonna get going now. Where are you off to? Well, why don’t you just track my phone and you’ll figure it out yourself? I’m assuming you turned it off. Right. Wouldn’t want to keep Stephan waiting.

I heard you talking to the old man when I came in asking for more words of wisdom on how to screw me over. I wouldn’t try playing the Mato. You can’t pull that off. I know what you mean. Of course you do. We were in this very room when I told you that I knew what Rolfe and Kristen were doing to you, and I kept silent.

You thanked me for being honest and then assured me that you could get past that as long as I made sure that you or my partner in the running of the company, I upheld my half of the bargain. You responded by dragging me. Hmm. Well, after we made that agreement, I had some time to think. And I remembered all the months that you spent watching me make a fool of myself over Chloe.

And you kept your mouth shut. I was breaking Gabby’s heart. And you knew why, but you didn’t give a damn. So you tried to make me look incompetent in front of way shin last night. Every word you said prior to that about forgiveness, about working together was a lie, wasn’t it? This is all, damn right. It is.

I beg your pardon? Hmm. Oh yeah. You heard me? I. I spent last night shagging, Alex, Kiki. I know I hurt you and you wanna get back at me, but you might want to come up with something I might actually believe. Do you think I’m lying? Yeah, I do. You know, there’s no love loss between Alex and me, and you’re just trying to stick it to me, right?

Wow. You really do think that you are God’s gift, don’t you? Well, Sorry to burst your bubble, darling, but Alex did stick it to me all night long. In fact,

how exactly did I ruin your career? You know exactly what you did. Lady below my whistle, uh, it’s lady whistleblower, if you don’t mind. Unless you’re extending an invitation, pigs will fly first. Leo. Now, because of you and your stupid little column, I didn’t get made. C e o of Titan. Do you know what I do to guys like you?

I’d love to find out. Let me give you a hint When I’m through with you, you will not be able to whistle anything.

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

Do you want me to show you the contract you signed? Do you want to see the clause that says if you commit adultery during our six month trial period, our deal is off? That’s not necessary. Is a mid-morning role in the hay really worth losing your chance to run DER Enterprises? I said I agree to the terms.

I won’t be sleeping with anybody or Stephan until this farce of a marriage is over. Means seven and I waited four long years. We can wait another six months, especially if it means that we’ll be running to mayor together. You sound more determined than ever. You catch on quick. Now get out of my way.

What are you doing here? Oh and a pleasant good morning to you too.

I thought we were going to draw a line across the past and forge a new relationship. Yeah. That was you, but you never had any intention in doing that. You were counting on me to trust you long enough to allow you to strike if I knew that you had been brainwashed and I kept my mouth. , would you really believe me if I told you things would be different from here on out?

Probably not.

We are both his sons. After all, you know, I have to give you credit for slipping me that drug he used. I really didn’t understand what was happening to me. Now, don’t be so modest. You figured out exactly what was going on. And you flipped the script, just like a move on that chessboard over there. Now it’s my turn to play,

so I tell you that I’m not over Sarah, and you seek out my cousin to get revenge.

If only your brain were as massive as you. Ego zander, Alex, being related to you, had nothing to do with what happened. We met and had a few too many, and then I asked him to come home with me. That’s it. Classic. Oh, you wanna talk to me about morality? Really you, you do know that Alex is just using you right?

To what end? Well, he was in the mood and you were there. You know he is shagged half the girls in town. Since he came back to Salem, you was just another notch on his bed quote. Really? What should I do then? Should I go have a little cry? Should I, don’t you confuse me with Sarah? No, it’ll never happen. You know what?

We really hit it off. We were in bed all night long together. I didn’t even think about you. One. I know that’s a tough act. It’s what you pull when you don’t have anything else. Look, credit. Alex is a player. He always has been. I don’t, I just don’t wanna see him hurt you. Oh, but you’ve got no bloody problem hurting yourself, do you?

Can we dial this back a notch? No, no. I like it dialed right where it is. All I did was ask your uncle to gimme a quote for my column. I didn’t know he was thinking of naming you. C e o. My uncle’s the most powerful guy in this town, Leo and ya PR in and told him how I got it on with two women. How did you think that was gonna turn out for me?

He gave my job to his wife. I know Chad told me I couldn’t believe. I thought Maggie Horton curio skillset was baking cookies and butting into other people’s business. Well, now she can add running a major corporation to her resume. And that’s because of you. Would it change things if I told you I was very, very sorry.

I wanted my very first column to be clickbait. You’re lucky I don’t use you as bait. Does that mean you’re no longer feeling homicidal?

I’m gonna make you a deal. Tell me where to sign. Keep my name outta your mouth and out of your little column, and maybe I will let you live.

Hey, trip. Hey, Wendy. What are you doing there? You left without having breakfast this morning. And how do you know You usually make the coffee? Well, yeah, I overslept. I was Ryan late. Yeah, I figured it was that. I was afraid you’d get lightheaded when talking to a patient or something. Wow. You didn’t have to do this.

Yeah, I did feel bad that you got in trouble here. That was not your fault. Hey, if anyone should feel guilty, it’s Johnny. Your boyfriend needs to learn to mind his own damn business.

Come on in. You’re here pretty early, aren’t you? Gabby and I were just having breakfast. Oh, I’m sorry. I can come back later if you want. Oh, don’t worry about it. Breakfast is over Unless you want Ali to whip you up some of his famous eggs. No, I, I had something. Thanks. Uh, I just, just came by to see Wendy.

She was up and uh, out pretty early. I think she was headed to the office. Actually, she told me she was gone to the hospital. Is she all right? Oh yeah. She said she had to talk to Tripp. I guess the two of them have gotten pretty close since he moved in here.

Is this doctored? No, I had a cup from the very same pole, and I’m just supposed to. Take your word on that. I found out you were drugging me. What did you expect me to do? Forgive him for death. I wonder what our father would say if he knew that you fell in with a creep like Lee Shin against your own brother.

If you’d ever met Father, you wouldn’t ask that question. My mother told me plenty about him. How is dear Vivian finding ways to occupy herself at Statesville?

She told me he wasn’t without his faults, but that he put family above everything else. And where was your sense of family values when you seduced Chad’s wife, you really want to go there? They weren’t married when I had my affair with Abigail, and she was also right in the mind measure. Rest in peace.

Well, for what it’s worth, what happened with me and Abigail. I’m not proud of it. I know what it is to regret your actions and what you did to me and Gabby that on your list of regrets. Absolutely. In fact, I thought Roe and Lee, what they did to you was a favor. You gotta help a lot of nerves saying that you may have idealized Gabriela, but I have not.

She will do anything for power. So you keep that in mind. Hmm? You resent her because she’s made it on her own. She built her business from nothing. Now you. You were born on third base and you walk around in this world like you hit a triple

and will be amusing to watch from the sidelines. If the two of you manage to take over the mirror enterprises, I wonder how long it will take before Gabby starts viewing you as the obstacle to her success. Now, we’ve already fought that war and we’ve realized that our love is the most important thing to us.

We’re determined to be together now, and Iran Father’s Company the way we want. The only obstacle in the way is you.

Come on. I’ve told you how. Sorry am for the way I treats you. Oh, father, just shove your bloody apologies, will you? I’ve heard it all Before you dangle this life in front of me so that I’ll do whatever you want while you secretly pine for Sarah to come back to you. Well, you know,

I am over wanting you. Did your night with my cousin convince you of her? Whether it did or not is none of your business. Why are you still here? Anyway, go on. You said that I should be running the paper, didn’t you? Or was that just another night?

Leaving so soon. Well, Maggie wants to be in the office by noon. Did I already tell you I hit your guts? Oh, dear. And here I thought all that was behind us. Yeah. Well, you thought wrong. Well, wow. You were showering in my bathroom. I thought of some questions I’d like to ask. I’m not telling you anything. Oh, come on.

I’m dying to know about your butting romance. What? Butting romance with Gwen, my B fff.

Do you remember saying that The Spectator is my father’s newspaper and so that I should run it? Sure. I do. I still have half an interest. I’m gonna protect that interest. Well, you know what? You can do that without breathing down my bloody neck. And from now on, you don’t get to ask me what I do in my off hours.

I came here to work. You’re the one I had to start talking about last night. I only did that because you patronizingly assumed that I was weeping over you all night. Do you know what Quinn? This is getting of snow miss. So let’s just, right. Yeah. Finally there’s something we finally agree on Zander. I’m gonna work for more motel room.

The last thing I’ve ever want to do is breathe down your neck. You know, maybe next time we see each other we can try to be civilized. Oh, you really civilized. Oh, . That would be a very refreshing change, wouldn’t it?

Will. I guess I’ll, uh, try and catch up with Wendy. Word of advice. Let her call you. Seemed like she had something very important to talk to Chip about, but she told you that I picked up on it. Don’t, don’t listen to him. Okay, Johnny, if you wanna go, fine Wendy, do it. I’m sure she’ll be happy to see you. Okay, uh, we’ll see you guys later.

What was that about? Why are you giving Johnny such a hard time? I don’t trust that kid. He’s a bad influence on Jing one. Oh, that’s right. He influenced her to go to Jakarta and then figure out what you and Ralf were doing to Stephan. It’s not just that he’s pursuing Wendy while he is still involved with his ex-wife.

He and Chanel are just friendly exes and there’s nothing wrong with that. Yeah, I still don’t trust the guy. You have the nerve to judge somebody on their trustworthiness. I have a duty to look out for my sister. Wendy can look out for herself. Oh wait. That’s right. That’s not how you do things. So why don’t you just call your buddy up, Rolf, have him brainwash Wendy.

Out of caring about Johnny. Gabby. Wait, see what now? What? I have something.

Something you are going to absolutely love.

You know, I really gotta think of something nice to do for John about him. I never would’ve realized that you turned, the tables started drugging me. Johnny enjoy is trying to aggravate me, but he’s still my son. Hmm. I don’t know. He’s got a lot of Brady in him. The honesty, strong sense of what’s right, what’s not

You do remember Samantha Brady is his mother. Nah, skip the generation. It happens. So what now? Ej? Hmm? You drugged me. I drugged you. Or even. Ostensibly, I don’t think either of us wants to jeopardize Damara. I agree.

So I suppose I’m going to have to accept the fact that you and Gabriela are intent on finding your way back to one another, which may result in my having to share the running of my father’s empire with the two of you. And will you accept that gracefully? Oh, I, here I have six more months and probably I have to make up my mind about that flat.

Hmm. Okay. . Okay. That was great. Mm-hmm. . I didn’t realize I was hungry. I was, yeah. You put that burrito away in record time. Mm-hmm. . Oh, my dad says I have a trash compact over my stomach. Should be. Ah-huh. Yeah. Well you are a growing boy. That’s just something my father used to say to Lee whenever he was on his third helping of something.

Mm-hmm.

you what? Have a little.

No, you’re perfect.

What is this it? Find out. Oh, mate, I don’t hear any ticking. You went shopping at Saxtons. It’s your favorite store, isn’t it?

Don’t tell me it’s that person. I was going crazy over at dinner. Is that papers? Is this what I’m supposed to be excited over? Hmm? Read what’s on Them. Business proposal. Hey, what did you do? Now, word on the street is the CEO of Saxtons is looking to partner with a fashion brand for an exclusive collection.

This is your idea of a joke. This is not funny. I lost Gabby Sheik to ej. I’ve, I was having you try to buy it back and you couldn’t. EJ may have taken away your company, but he couldn’t take away your talent. You made a success out of Gabby Sheik, and you could do the same thing with a new company, right,

a little early to be dipping into the hard stuff Now. And how do you propose to this new era of Daytons with coffee? Well, can you put it that way?

To family and to two prodigal sons who’ve joined forces to hold onto an empire. It’s a family.

You don’t know when to quit. Excuse me, don’t play dumb with me. You’re not interested in me and Gwen, because she’s your homegirl. You’re trying to get dirt for your sleazy little column. Uh, first of all, lady Whistleblower is not sleazy. And second Gwen isn’t just my friend or my editor. She also owns the paper I write for, well, her end Zander.

Please don’t say his name. My point is, Alex, is that Gwen would never publish episodes from her own life no matter how scintillating they.

What does sound like her? Thank you. So just how scintillating was it? I’m kidding. But in all seriousness, Gwen is my best friend in the entire world, and I’ve already seen one Kiki man hurt her. If you think I am going to stand by and watch another one, use and lose her. You don’t know me very well. Well, I’ll be damned.

Leo Stark actually gives a damn about something besides himself. Don’t let that get around. I have an image to maintain. I ain’t gotta worry about that. Secret’s safe with me, pal. It’s always Gwen because we’re just friends. So if you would, excuse me, I need to get to work. Me too. After you

now, you’re all good to go. Thank you. Johnny, what are you doing here? I came to make things bright. How are you gonna do that? Well, you can gimme the name of your supervisor. I will talk to him or her. Tell him that I, that I was the one who took your id. I, I got the lab results and you had nothing to do with it.

Just let it go. Okay. I can’t do that. Look, I’m the reason you got in trouble. Okay? You’re a doctor. I messed with your professional reputation. That was wrong. I know it was wrong. Yeah. And all I got was a slap on the wrist. All right. It’ll die down unless you go and speak to my supervisor and stir it back all up again.

Is that true? Yes. Hey, best thing you can do for me right now is just stay out of this.

You think I’m just gonna drop everything and launch another fashion line with a a local department store. The CEO of Saxton is serious about growing her business. You’re a media influencer. loaded with design talent, you’d be perfect for them. That’s starting another line that even the pitch takes a ton of work.

It’d be worth it. My friend at Saxon’s is dying to hear from you. I don’t, I can’t even think of a name for the label right now. Oh, I’ve been thinking about that. Uh, yeah, I bet you have. Okay. How about pos of Shin? Oh, you’re gonna make me laugh, please. Okay. Gabby Shin original. Gabriel limited. You know what?

You need to stop. You need to stop this. Okay? Okay. We’ll table the discussion about the name for now, but Gabby, think about it. This could be a huge opportunity for you. I know what this is. You think that you could just sh dangle something shiny in front of me, like a whole new company of my very own, and, and I’m just gonna forget about the C position at Damara.

If you keep me busy enough, I’m gonna just forget about Stephanie and run back into your arms too, you know? Gabby, that is not what I’m doing. Damn it. Okay, I’m on your side. EJ swindled you out of Gabby Sheik, and he’s gonna make sure you don’t get within a mile of Dera Enterprises and I can’t get you back what you lost.

Okay? But I can do everything in my power to help you reclaim yourself as an entrepreneur. I’m serious, Gabby. I believe in you.

I, I have to go look. Just do me a favor, okay? Look over what’s in that box. If it sparks anything in you, you already have an in it. Saxons, whether you want to use it or not is up to you.

Is that text am mayor. Speaking. Hmm. I’m gonna head to the office. A lot of work to get done. Now that games are over, we’re working together. I’ll be alone in a bit. So you’re sending a text about the merit business and you won’t tell me what it’s about. You’re gonna be late to the office. And you’re not telling me why.

It’s your idea of a hunt. You have nothing to worry about from me. Let’s see about that.

Stephan thinks he has his guard up now, but I can still destroy him and he’ll never see the fin break the water because he wasn’t taught by the best like I was.

Julie’s place has been running a full page ad since they opened, I mean, They can’t cancel. We need the revenue. You know what? I’ll just deal with this later. Thank you for telling me. Yeah. Bloody hell. You are late. I didn’t realize I was supposed to clock in. Why are you so stressed? Because I’m trying to publish and edit a digital news source that needs to turn a profit in order to survive.

That’s why. Sounds like somebody needs another marathon night in the sack with her new boyfriend.

Keep walking. You stay the hell away from gr.

And if I don’t stay away from Gwen’s check, what are you gonna do about it? Believe me, Alex, you do not want to know what is with you cause huh? You don’t want Gwen, but nobody else can have her. You don’t know anything about her. Gwen and me, just stay away from her. I’ll meet you. Pay, you’re gonna dress up like a clown again.

Drag me off in a Uncle Vic’s gardening shed. Oh wait, you only do that to women who can’t defend themselves. Speaking of women, Harry enjoying saying, yes, mom. No, mom to Aunt Maggie. Well, we do have one big thing in common. We both can’t stand you. . You thought you had that job and we were so up, didn’t you?

Kind of like you did when he got passed over for Phillip, but can you really blame Uncle Vic Phillip’s? His. You were just the poor relation. He kept the round out of the goodness of his heart. Look, you spoiled, cocky, little piss son. I haven’t taken care a law back when I’ve seen the way you treat women as opposed to you, sir.

A had. She doesn’t need you pounding your chest, taking your claim to her like you’re a feminist. I mean, Gwen’s a grown woman, one who seems more than capable of choosing who she wants to be with. This is your last warning. Stay away from Gwen. We will regret it.

Pures bud is Zand. How so?

I had to tell him that Alex isn’t the love of my life and we just shagged. One night and that’s it. Sander knows that you did it with his cousin. I told him this morning. How did he take it? He wasn’t thrilled. Oh my God. This is perfect. How is this perfect? Vir? You lack my vision, sweetie. You are in the perfect position to use one Keio as to make the other.

Curio is crazy with jealous. I know I’m not interested in making Zander jealous. Okay, fine. How about we make him suffer?

You know, I, I’d really feel a lot better if you love me, make this up to you, but if, if you want me to butt out, then I do. Yes. Okay. Well then I will just say that I’m really sorry. I have to get back on the grounds. Thanks. Give for breakfast anytime.

Hello? He’s definitely not over this. I guess I’ll be seeing you, Johnny.

I do appreciate you trying to make things right. Well, that was the least I could do. I was, I was so set on finding out if my dad was right about stuff and using drugs that I just, I took his ID without even thinking about what it might do to him or what you might think of me, but you admitted you were wrong and you were ready to take the blame.

What guys wanna do that? He made me proud.

I could have my very own fashion line again.

What are you adding, Mike? Coming here. What? And doing that. Come back second. You can have spies all over the building. Calm down, calm down. Calm down. You can just ruin everything we’ve been working for. I made sure I wasn’t filed. Okay. I watched the building until I made sure that bastard was gone. Why take the chance?

Because something happened with ej. Tell me. Oh, we had it out and then we agreed to start working. So he’s over you drugging him. Oh, no way. But he started talking about how we should declare a truce. How we should band together his brothers to protect Damara. Sounds like a bunch of crap. A hundred percent, but I agreed to it.

Why? Because he needs to believe that we’re on good terms. It’s gonna make it easier to oust him in the long run. Okay, but you better sleep with one eye open. I know what I’m doing. I’m gonna end up running my father’s company. Put the woman of my dreams.

Okay, but you can’t keep doing this. You can’t, can’t do this because Lee Lee brainwash you. God knows what else he could do to you. You’re right, you and I, we’re gonna get everything we want and EJ is not gonna see it coming.

Sorry about making you go round the back. I couldn’t risk the two of us being seen together. Servants like a gossip coffee. I’d rather have answers. I don’t like being summoned, especially by the guy who fired me. My, I had no choice in that matter, and that doesn’t mean that we can’t be allies secretly, of course.

What are you babbling about? What sort of alliance could you and I possibly form? I was thinking of helping you hold onto your life.

How do you intend to do that? I have no idea that’s why you are here, but I think you and I need to come up with a plan to ensure that you remain married to Gabby permanently. What’s in it for you? The satisfaction of knowing that I finally succeeded in prying her, grasping little fingers off my brother.

And off our family fortune.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Hello. So it’s the first time you stay over at my place, so I thought I would do something special for you, Eric. Thank you. So sweet. Hmm, . Mm.

You’re welcome. But I do have one very important question for you. First. Yeah. Shoot. Mm. Was last night the best sex of your life?

Oh,

uh oh. Elvis has not left the bedroom. Oh, hilarious. How are you feeling? Oh, I feel like I’ve been punched in their head a hundred times. That good, huh? Mm. Well, I brought you this, Harold whipped it up for you. It’s your mimas special hangover here your, well, once again, I want to apologize for my brother’s behavior.

Oh, I, I agree, Mr. Shin. Totally unacceptable. So, uh hmm. Have you given any more thought as to whether you’re gonna relieve EJ of his duties? Okay. All right. Well, uh, Once you’ve made up your mind to remove him, uh, we let you know. Thanks, . Wow. Wow. You really are an ass.

Leo. Who’s that? It’s me. It’s Andy. Where are you? I’m standing right in front of you. Oh my God, my eyes. I can’t see. I can’t see this. This can’t be happening. This is just an old wife’s tale. Have I actually gone blind from constant? You better not be making yourself go blind in the office. Oh. Oh, thank God.

Thank God. I thought I’d never get to see that wonderful bone structure that chiseled physique ever again. Why are you sleeping in the office? Well, I couldn’t very well sleep in my room. Now, could I? Why not? Hello? I was giving you and Gwenny your privacy. What are you talking?

Oh, stop.

Oh, oh, oh Mercy. How much did we drink last night? Mad. Should I be jealous? How the bloody hell are you doing in my bed? Don’t worry. I’m not offended that you forgot my name happens to the best of us. I’m Alex by the way, but I will be offended if you tell me that you forgot our night and passion. I Nice.

Of what?

Oh my God. Oh my God, oh my son.

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

I think that you were taking Leo’s gossip column a little too seriously, please, Eric? No, just Shumer me. Okay. Was last night, was it the best of your life? I told you it was great. Remember? But not the best. I don’t kiss and tell. Mm-hmm. . You would if I were the best, which I’m clearly not. Don’t make this a competition.

Okay? Hmm. Just admit that we have an amazing time together. That’s not enough. Hmm. Could you see, as Nicole Gleefully pointed out, Leo said that you’re the best sex of my life. What he didn’t say was that I was the best sex of yours. And for the record, I never said that. Okay. What? He totally made that.

You’re questioning the integrity of Lady Whistleblower. Are you answering my question with the question? No, I’m lightening the mood. Hmm. What was your question again? . Okay. Well, since you’re being so annoyingly evasive in coy mm-hmm. , I demand another shot. Another shot. Hmm. Yeah, that’s right. Because see, no matter how many times it takes, I’m gonna prove Nicole Walker, mom.

Mm-hmm. . Mm-hmm. . Please do.

As you may recall, you’ve made me drink this concoction when I had a hangover not so long ago. Oh, how cruel of me. Oh, come on. Right. It’s tough going, but it. Open up, choo. No, no, no. Stop, stop, stop. Please, please, please. And I’m not hungover. I’m struck by my brother. You know that? No, no. I don’t know that. Not for sure.

I mean, it could have been an accident and maybe you mixed up the cups. I’m positive I switched the cops correctly after Stephan s strike. Martin. He must have, he must have switched them back. Well then if that’s the case, Stephan must know you’re onto him. I have no doubt about that. John Roman gave him a pretty big headss up and Stefan took full advantage of it.

So you’re trying to get my dad fired, right? That that’s your goal. That’s father’s goal. Hmm. What the hell does that mean? You saw for yourself, Johnny, he was a total disaster last night. Yeah. Yeah. Because you’re a two-faced trader. It’s because you drugged him.

Don’t play coy with me, Mr. Stud McMuffin. When I got back to the room last night, the Do Not disturb sign was on the door. So I assume you took my advice, got back together with Gwen. I didn’t wanna interrupt your steamy reunion. There was no reunion, Leo. Gwen and I didn’t get back together, but you’re officially divorced from Sarah.

Now why not make it officially official with Gwen? Cause I’m. I’m still in love with Sarah and can’t fully commit to Gwen. Can I please tell me, you didn’t say that to her? Of course I did. I mean, I have to be honest. No, you don’t. You big dummy. Ah, always. Brains or bra? Never both. What would be the point in life to her?

The point in line would’ve been to protect her feelings. You insensitive jerk. My God. Gwenny must be in agony right now. Her heart’s shattered into a million pieces and I feel terrible that. I care too much about Gwen to lead her on Leo. She deserves better than that. You’re damn right. She does. And now I am going to comfort my friend, let her know that she’s too special and wonderful to waste her time on the likes of you, your big, insensitive shallow meaning.

Wait a minute, if you can. Gwenny Warren, having sexy time last night. Why was the do not disturb sign on the door?

Oh, oh God. Oh, I, I remember. I remember now. I, oh, it’s all coming back to me. Yeah. Apparently I preceded my legend.

We, um, we, what did we, we ran into the, um, we ran into each other at small bar and we got completely bollocked, didn’t we? Because that Oh, bloody oneand. Can’t get over Sarah Horton. And, um, and, um, you, uh, I lost my job. Right. Yeah. Maggie, the tyrant, she stole your job. Hmm. And then we, we came back here and had a nightcap and we had.

Wild. Hot, passionate, no holds barred. Oh, no, no, no, no. Too many adjectives. My head’s pounding sex. We had sex and you know what? I think this was a first for me. Uh, at first, yes. A first with a British woman. Are you a beautiful, sexy, stunning British woman? Yeah. Well then technically I am an American. And what’s with the heart accent?

Uh, well, what does it matter? It doesn’t matter at all. All it matters is that you really, really, I’m really turned me on. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. That’s fine. No, this cannot happen again. This has been a terrible, terrible mistake.

Well, why was there a do not disturb sign on the door if there was nothing to disturb? I suppose because Gwen wanted to be left alone. Poor. Thanks. She was probably crying her eyes out all night time to think of it. I did hear mother damn you Zander cook. I was trying to be honest with you. Yeah. So you keep saying what do you think you deserve a medal for being honest.

When the entire time you’ve known Gwen, you’ve treated her like she’s a second fiddle to that skinny snooty Sarah Horton. And now even though skinny snooty woman has given you the Hepo left town to get away from you, you still treat Gwen like she’s a damn afterthought. Like, like she can never measure up to your standards, which is completely absurd given that you are a total swine with the soul the size of a pee.

You know what? I’m not gonna call her. I’m going to go see my bestie in person and stop her from doing something she might regret.

Last a mistake. Now wait a second. When, look, we, we are practically. Aren’t we? And we just knew each other a few hours and we just jumped right into bed with each other. Okay. So you never had a one night stand before? Yeah. Yes. I’ve had my wild days, of course, but God, now I’m in love with another man. Right.

Xander, who is still in love with Sarah Horton. So you used me to get back at him? Oh, I did not.

Yes I did. Hm. I’m sorry. Don’t be. I’m not at all besides, I’m still trying to get over Stephanie Johnson. She’s with Chad, so I have no reason to feel guilty either. Neither do you. We are both single and, oh God. Don’t say ready to mingle. I hate that. I would never say that. What I was gonna say is that we are both consenting adults and what we did is perfectly normal.

Unacceptable.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, you’re right. I don’t, I don’t owe zand or anything. Exactly. So we are free to have all the earth shattering sex we want with no regrets.

Pretty great, wasn’t it? Definitely. In fact, I think it deserves an encore.

Hang on a second. Last night you tipped me off that somebody was drugging me and now you’re accusing me of drugging my brother, which is it, honey, I’m guessing. I’m confused. No, you’re not. Don’t try to manipulate me. I’m a der too. Remember you got me there After I tipped you off last night, you decided you wanted to get back at my dad’s, so you pulled the old switcheroo.

Causing him to ingest the drug that was meant for you. Go ahead. Tell me I’m wrong. Mm. Well that all depends on what, if it was in fact your father who was drugging me. Is that what you’re telling me, John? John? That my own brother’s been plotting against me.

So I not only called shin old, but then I proceeded to talk about how my son was possessed by the devil. Mm-hmm. . And then you topped it off by shoving Stephan. Ah, damnit. It was pretty hard to watch. Yes, I’m sure. And now I have to do major damage control. How are you gonna do that? Well, with way I can just express great contrition and turn on the charm.

It’s Stephen. Stephan is a whole other story.

I, I think there’s only one move to make where Stefan’s concerned, and that is well after Johnny tried to do the right thing, your brother now knows you’re onto him. So all this subterfuge is, is pointless. He. It is time for you to confront Stephan once and for all.

Okay, so I’ve decided not to worry about Nicole or that stupid gossip column anymore, really? Mm. What changed your mind? Well, while we were just enjoying each other just now, I realize it’s incredibly demeaning for me to compete with the Navy. I mean, I know I’m the best sex you’ve ever had. I don’t need to hear it from you.

I admire yourself, confidence, and I admire you for your impressive staying power.

In fact, I think you might have just earned yourself a pass at my retainer fame. All right, Jenn, generous of you. Oh no. But I’m still charging you for your defense Fair. I don’t know why I can’t afford you right now. Hmm. I wouldn’t worry about stacking up too many hours. I, I think this case is gonna be over pretty quickly.

That, that’s great to hear. It makes you so sure. Wow. A bulk of the charges resulted from you pretending to be my paralegal and as the victim, I can just make those charges go away by not cooperating with the da, which then leaves. The kidnapping charge, not a big thing, right? Well actually I think I can cut a deal with traffic.

Really like

speak of the devil. Well, is it about my case? Oh my God, Eric, it’s bad news.

Thank you again taking my case. I know it’s gonna be a lot of extra work for you. No, well it’s probably a good thing. It’s good for me to be busy, right. Sure it is. I know how close you were. Miss Marlena

think I miss her every day. I also think that she would be really upset with the riff you’re having with your brother Eric, right now. What? I just wanna eat breakfast right now, Brittany. I’m just saying you and Sammy, I get that’s, Normal. Are you and Eric? I mean, you’ve, you’ve always got along well, that was before he became a moody jerk.

I think he’s going through a rough patch and what he needs. A little bit like no, what he needs break. Listen, if this is your lame way of, of trying to get me to represent him answering. No, I’m not. I’m not. No, no. He actually already has a lawyer. What? Who? Oh my God. It’s her. That horrible heartless bitch.

Yes. That horrible heartless bitch is Sloan Peterson. That is his lawyer

charging me with attempted murder. I mean, how is this possible? Apparently Stephan’s heart stopped. Has Ralph was zapping him. I wasn’t zapping him. I wasn’t even here for the. It doesn’t matter. I mean, the laundry list goes on. I mean, she’s really piling on the charges. You said this was gonna be easy. I mean, how is this even possible?

Um, well, well maybe it was because something I said,

you are right. It’s time to bring this fight out in the open. I’m just gonna get pretty ugly, especially since both of you live under the same roof. Now, let’s step Dewey’s Worst. I’m not afraid of him. I just don’t want you being pulled into this mess depot. Oh, don’t worry about me. I can hold my own . Don’t I know it?

Well, I guess there’s no sense in putting this off any longer. I’ll let you know how it goes. Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hang on a second, sir. We need to take a shower first. It’ll help you clear your mic. Yeah, that’s a great idea. But you know what’s an even better idea? What’s that? Let you join me, you know, for extra clarity.

Mm,

well, Is my own brother plotting against me thing You think I don’t see right through you. Okay. Quit playing the victim. Here I am the victim. The cup that EJ drank from was meant for me. So you did switch the cups? What the hell was I supposed to do? Johnny? Huh? Let my brother sabotage me in front of way shin.

I was giving him a literal taste of his own medicine. Look, I don’t know what’s going on between you and my dad, but whatever it is, you need to figure it out. Your brothers okay? You shouldn’t be tearing each other apart. You really think you should be lecturing me on Brotherly Love? What’s that supposed to mean?

Didn’t I just read in the gossip section that you almost slept with your twin sister’s girlfriend and that led to the demise of their relationship? All right? It’s a little more complicated than that, and also that’s not what happened. Allie and Chanel didn’t break up because of me. They broke up because Allie decided to have a one night stand with Alex, Kiki.

Ah, well you still having regrets? Ah, I knew that. We can’t have a go at around three. So ? No. No. I can’t. I can’t. I’m, I have to go to work. Oh, I’m gonna hop on the shower. I’m

fine. Mind if I make a cup of coffee? Yeah. Go for it. There’s a little, uh, coffee maker on that table over there.

Poor Gwenny. She’s probably hiding under the covers. Wallowing in her misery. Oh, Leo is here to save the day. Gwe. I spoke to Xander. The man is a total.

You okay there? Yeah, I’m fine. I just need to catch my breath. What are you doing here anyway? I’m not really sure. It’s my place to wait. I know my wish came true. What are you talking about? Yesterday I was at the park and there it was. A bright and shiny penny on the ground. I had to raise some little brats.

Pick it up. Knocked her out of the way. Here you are. Yeah. I’m sorry. I don’t follow. Hello? Find a penny. Pick it up. Then tonight you get to hold on. What’s, hold on. You’re a little late though. It’s morning. But I won’t hold it against you, Leo. Or will I look how, how stupid am I spending the night at the office when I could have been here with you.

But what are we waiting for? Here I am. There you are. Oh. Time out, ti time. Time out. Who are you gonna put me in a timeout? Daddy. Not your lucky penny. I’m not here because of you. Well, then why are you here parading around? Stark naked patent pending. Leo, who else is staying in this room? Well Gwenny, but she, oh my gwenny.

You know, I just don’t get it. I thought Sloane dumped Eric because she was super pissed at him for getting raw out of jail. Apparently she, for forgive, Ugh. I just thought we were done with this wretched, bottom feeder. You know, I just don’t understand how Eric and her got together in the first place. I mean, what does he seeing her?

What? She’s kind of hot bell, you know? Oh God, dude, you’re such a man. Yeah, I am. I am. I’ve been called worse, by the way. Yeah. Well, can’t actually think that that woman is good for our brother. Actually, I don’t at all, but, but from his point of view, I think maybe she has been there for him when things went south.

Mm-hmm. . And that’s why he is been such a jerk because she’s been there for him. Look, given my history with Kristen Damara, I’m in no position to judge. Oh, please. Anyone with a brain is in a position to judge that Sloan Peterson is a nightmare. I just hope and pray that. At least keeps it professional this time.

I don’t get it. I mean, how could this be your fault? Trash through the book at me. I know, but maybe, maybe because I told her to you. What? Look, it was before I agreed to take the case, I was still angry with you. You know, I kind of, I went off in front of Trask. I mean, God, who knew I had so much influence over that woman.

This is all because that stupid column. No, this is because of your stupid action. Nathan. You talk her out of it. I don’t know, Eric. I mean, she’s already gone to the press with this. Knowing her. She’s not gonna back out, so then I’m screwed.

Not necessarily.

Okay, look. All right. I’ll be the first to admit, my sister and I have definitely had some real knockdown drag outs, but at the end of the. We love each other, and I, I can’t believe that I’m about to say this out loud that I even have to, but you don’t drug your sibling to sabotage their career. Okay, Johnny?

I know you mean well, but this is between me and your father. Except it’s affecting the whole family, you know? Not to mention the company seen the stock lately. It’s in the dump way. Shin’s unhappy. This whole thing’s a mess. I’ll get it under control. Not a fair war with my dad, but why don’t I just go get him right now.

You guys can hash this thing out here. And now.

Hello, Mr. Damira. Hi, this is Sloan Peterson, counsel for Eric Brady. I was hoping you and I could have a little chat.

I’m all done in there if you’d like to hop in. Thank you. And there is something seriously wrong with your friend.

Did the two of you. My girl get it. Also, I had been worried sick about you. Why? I ran into Xander at the office where I slept last night. Thank you very much. He told me what happened between you two. So I raced over. I thought you’d be hole up in here crying your wi eyes out, licking your wounds. Turns out you’re licking something else entirely.

Filthy. Ah, I’m filthy. I’m filthy. Okay. I’m filthy, but so are you Gwendolyn bagging two of the hottest guys in Salem first Ander. Now Alex, you are a queen. I both hate and respect you at the same time. Huh? You have a But that’s out of the way. I did get a sneak peek at the main attraction, and I have one word.

Epic indeed. Girl. Give me all the deeds and I mean everything.

So, uh, I was thinking maybe I should go with you when you confront Stephan. He’s less likely to kill you with me there, Nicole. This is not your fight. No, it kind of is since not only I was Stephan’s unintended victim, you and I are seeing each other again, which makes us a team. Right? I suppose it does.

Mm-hmm. I know it says. Now let’s go kick your brother’s ass.

You know what better safe than sorry, God, this family. Good morning, son. Good morning. Uh, good morning Nicole. Morning. How you feeling, dad? Better. Thank you. Um, thank you for helping me out last night for getting me outta here before I can make an even bigger fool of myself in front of shin. Yeah, well it’s uh, probably no surprise to you that Uncle Stefan is pushing for him to fire you.

No, it’s not. So where is my backs stabbing brother, you just missed. Oh, well, look, dad, I hope you’re not mad about the warning I gave him. I, but you know, I, I, I know it backfired on you, but like he said, he. Just give your taste of your own medicine. John Roman, you don’t understand this whole drugging business.

I wasn’t the one who started it. It was your Uncle Stephan

attempted. Attempted murder. That’s insane. Well, I think Trask was playing hardball. I wasn’t trying to murder him Bell. I was just trying to help him. For God’s sake, I take it. You got the message from Trask. Yeah. It’s pretty ridiculous. Yeah. You missed a button there, counselor. So much for keeping it professional.

I assume Brady mentioned that I hired Sloan. Yeah. One bad decision after another. Sloane’s an excellent attorney and you gave me no other choices. Okay, listen, I don’t wanna fight and I actually do think it would be better for all of us to work together on this. I know you and I don’t really get along, but I think we have a common goal in keeping these two idiots out of prison.

So I think we should do an end run around trash and call Stephan Dira. Gee, what a great idea. I wish I had thought of that. Oh wait, I. Oh, and here he is now.

Okay, well we were there and then we ordered another round and another round, and then we, um, started talking about his work situation. Honey, how is any of this relevant to what I want to hear? I said everything. But what it meant was everything. Like everything. What don’t you wanna know about how we got into bed, honey?

No. No. Boring. Boring. Listen to me carefully. Nobody cares about the setup. Press fast forward. Choose your words wisely and paint me a vivid picture of that God among men and men. Okay, go.

Okay. Um, me see, uh, Well first he uhhuh, . He did this. Oh, I have to get that. Sorry. Hang on. Oh damn. Musts be an emergency with the advertiser. I, I have to go to work. Sorry. I am gonna throttle you. Uh, can you maybe just tell Alex I to run? You better. Give me all the details later. Missy, this is gonna be great for stuff at lady whistleblower column.

Don’t you dare. Or I will make it so that lady is not just a nom.

So, wait, let me get this straight. Stephan spiked your drink and then you switched it with his, and then he switched it back. Oh. This cat and mouse game has been going on for a while. Technically, I never actually drugged Stephan. He drugged himself. He just didn’t know about it. So why? Why is he doing all this in the first place?

I suspect he secretly holds a grudge against me for not telling him about the brain. . Well, that’s great. Now you guys can just be done with it. Call it even. I was planning on confronting him, but I guess I’ve missed my chance. Yeah, well, in that case I should probably get going to work. Oh, I was, uh, I was headed out too.

You need to lift? Yeah, that’d be great. Okay. I’ll see you tonight. Looking forward to it.

Well, if it isn’t the brother’s grim, please uh, have a seat.

I didn’t realize the whole gang was gonna be here. Mr. D. Thank you so much for meeting us. Yes. As I was just telling Ms. Peterson, we have a common goal to get your brothers off the hook for what they did to me. I realized that, um, their methods were reckless. You think they kidnapped me, knocked me out, tied me to a bed so a mad man could experiment on me.

Yes. But in the end, the experiment was a success and you’re back to the man you once were because I was. That was a hell of a risk one that they took without my consent. You wanted to talk about consent? Excuse me, pal. Listen, Brady, let us handle this. Mr. Damara. I admit that our clients were extreme, but everything worked out for the best.

And since the DA doesn’t have a case without your cooperation, we’re asking you if you could please not press charges.

What they did was unconscionable, but as much as I hate to admit it, in the end, they did me a favor. So you’ll talk aask. Consider the charges dropped.

Uh,

Stephan, thank you. Yeah. Thank you.

Oh, no, I still can’t stand her. Oh.

Oh, I didn’t think you were coming in today. Um, yes. Well, I heard that there was a problem with one of the advertisers. Oh, I was just like to take care of that actually. Yeah. Well, I’m here now so I can take care of it. No, I’m happy to cover it if you wanna take the day off. Why about to do that going? You, you don’t have to put on a front with.

Was just here. I feel terrible that you spent the night in your room all alone. Crying. Crying.

Actually, I wasn’t alone. I was busy hitting the sheets with your cousin, Alex.

Where’s Gwen? You should do go to work. Looks like it’s just you and me. Handsome. Good One of the moment alone with you. Me too. I have a bone to pick with the guy who ruined my career

on. Put that away. Considering you’ve saved my life, sis, practice is on me. Well, thankfully Stephan was willing to listen to the reason Dave and Sloan, you make a pretty good team. Maybe you should, uh, you know, get firm together or something. Then who would represent me when I throw her out the window?

thought about that. No, there will be no teaming up between me and that awful woman whom I still loa with every fiber of my being. Just wish the hell Eric would stay away from her.

Johnny, I’m really sorry about lying to you and Wendy about what was going on. Hey, you’re not the first person who’s ever kept a secret from my dad.

So you and he are, uh, getting pretty close, huh? Ah, yeah, I guess we are. Does that mean you’re over my uncle?

I’m getting there.

I’m certain you don’t approve of all this end fighting father, so whether you like it or not, there is going to be a reckoning between my brother and me.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 I am sorry. I don’t remember inviting you to sit here. You didn’t Then why are you here? Well, because US members of the Bad Day Club have to stick together. This Spencer can’t argue with that. You are. Um, Alex, that’s. And you are Gwen.

Well, I would say nice to meet you, but we have so many people in common. It’s almost if we’re old chums. Mm-hmm. . Does feel that way. Huh?

So who puts you in such a rotten mood when your rotten cousin Zander?

Oh,

sorry. Your talk with Gwen didn’t go so well. Yeah, well, It went about as well as Lincoln’s nights at the theater actually. Sorry. So was it, um, bad business wise or relationship wise? Both. Oh, I’m sorry. Yeah. No, I’ve made Gwen so angry. I don’t think there’s any relationship left. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Where’s all this anger coming from?

Okay. I don’t get it. Yeah, neither do I. What do you think Johnny did? What do I think he did? No, I know exactly what he did and he can’t dodge this one cuz I have the receipts.

You had fun at the museum, didn’t you? Oh, I’m not gonna complain about seeing Van Gogh paintings of clothes. Hmm. So much beauty in one place. The art was pretty good too. Are we gonna keep doing this? What compliments. Going into the exhibit was your idea. Remember, after I found you and s Stephan together, I thought you were trying to make amend.

I was trying to make the best of the situation. I didn’t know dinner was gonna be a part of it. What’s wrong with dinner? I’m not hungry. Ah, you said the same thing when I made you ch laquila for breakfast and then you scarf those down. Come on. You love the steak here, just like you love the exhibit. And then what?

By the time our, our six months deal expires, I’m gonna. Just let go of s Stephan and love you again too. Yeah, that’s right. Except, uh, things can happen a lot sooner than that.

Once again to D Mirror,

Oh, soit is so brave that you came over for dinner.

I’m so glad you were able to join us, Mr. Shin. I’m very glad to be here. Yeah, and I know that Shep is making beef Wellington, so I hope I see your liking. Oh, it sounds wonderful. This feels like it’s going to be a night to remember. Couldn’t have said it better myself, brother.

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

Well, I hope you don’t hold it against me, that Zander and I are related, even though blood is just about the only bond we have, especially after the whole kidnapping mess. I do not wanna talk about that. Fair enough. Besides Zander’s, actual crimes are really the least of my issues with him. Oh yeah. You know, he tried to be good in his own way.

How about you? Did you try to be good? Mostly? How’s that working out for you?

What do you think? Right. So it seems to me that in a weird way, you and Zander are a pretty damn good match, except it’s not the match that he wants, despite the fact that she wants absolutely nothing to do with him. Zander will never stop loving Sarah Horton,

you know? Realized I was doing the very thing that I told you I didn’t want to do. Leading G went on. Mm-hmm. So you made her think you were gonna be a couple again? Only cuz I believed it. I mean, I really did think that, you know, once I saw the final divorce decree in my hands, I would finally accept that Sarah and I are over for good.

I don’t think it works that way. No. The feelings didn’t miraculously disappear. I can’t lie to going about that. Even if Sarah hates me, she doesn’t hate you. She’s just done with you. Now you’ve got to get over her. Are you gonna end up alone?

You know, you really need to work on listening when people. Like, like I am not in love with you. Or six months or six years he and I are not happening. Hmm. I heard you say those things and yet they’re not sinking in because you keep talking about winning me back and you’re starting to sound delusional.

I like to call it hopeful. Okay. Well, you can call it whatever you’d like. It’s still a pine tree only because you’re treating it like it’s some kind of chore because it is. It doesn’t have to be Daddy. This quality time we’re spending. Look at it like I’m doing you a favor. A favor. Yeah. Yeah. The more time you spend with me, the less time you spend fighting your temptation to be with Stephan.

Or even worse, giving in. So you’re helping me out. If you cave, you force me to invoke. Cause 2.6 of our deal and you lose out all my damer shares is one night of nostalgia. Was Stephan really worth that?

So I found this startup in South Africa. They’re making incredible breakthroughs on clean energy. They are hungry for investors. I’m intrigued. I must have missed a memo on this one. Oh, I was gonna brief you in the morning, get your sign off. You know, I’m sure it was just a misunderstanding. Yeah, of course.

Sorry, I, I’m sure you were caught off guard just as I was caught off guard when you told me that Mr. Shin was joining us for dinner tonight. So guess we’re even, I’m going to check in on how, see how those appetizers are coming. Nicole, would you like to join me? I know you had a request for the chef. Oh, yes.

Right. Thank you for reminding me. Of course.

Did you hear Stephan back there? Obviously he’s trying to win shin’s favor. He called us Eva. Something tells me you don’t see it the same way. Mm. He will be after the drugs kick in and he makes a fool of him. Which might be any minute now

finding the deal in South Africa will be a big win for Jamira. You, Cindy, on top of things, you sound surprised. Well, to be honest, I had a conversation earlier with your brother. Hmm. About, uh, he worries that you were still feeling the effects of what Dr. Rolf put you through. Hmm.

I appreciate my brother’s concern for my wellbeing, but I can assure you I’m perfectly fine. Hmm.

Ah geez.

Maybe Xander will come around. Hm. My God. Do you know how many times I’ve told myself that? Never know. Feelings are weird. Feelings are weird. Wow. That should be on a refrigerator magnet. Dude. easy. I just mean, you know, sometimes they can take a little while to sort him out. Do you know what he said to me?

He said that once he sees the divorce decree, reality will set in. And I’m guessing that’s not what happened. No. Reality did set in, it just settled in for me, not him. And he told you what? That he didn’t want to be with you? He said he still loves Sarah and he doesn’t know if you’ll ever her get over her

when? I’m sorry that he hurt you. I, I don’t even, geez, do you know what the worst part is though? Was he was trying not to hurt me. He.

He said it’s not fair to lead me on when he knows that he’s still got feelings for so often. Alright, well I think that’s honorable. I guess. God’s honorable. Come on, honorable my ass. I am the best thing that has ever happened to that man and he will never know God. Who do you have to shout to get another refill around here?

Hello? Oh, hey, hey, hey. X round’s on me. I got it. Thanks. God’s sake. Listen to me. I’m just going on and on and on about myself. I haven’t even asked you why you are here, why you are so miserable as go on. Then what’s her name? . Good guess. And yes, I did ruin things with the best woman I’ve ever met in my life, but that’s not the reason why I’m here tonight.

Mm-hmm. and Royal, you. I am here tonight because of Sarah Horton’s mother.

Mm-hmm. . Why am I telling Sarah’s mother all ? Maybe because you expect me to get in touch with her and let her know that you still love her. No, I mean, unless you want to. I told you before, I wish the two of you had worked this out, but I’ve learned my. I mean, I, I made my feelings clear to Sarah and, and I told her that this time I’m gonna stay out of it.

I understand that I’ve lost Sarah and now I’ve driven Gwen away too. Seems I can’t help but hurt the women in my life. Mm. Well it seems to be a lot of that going around.

Okay. Someone tell me what this is about. I’m sure it’s nothing. Yeah, of course. Well, it says Johnny won’t tell you. I will. You see, he came asking for my help for some lab results for his father. I told him there’s nothing I could do, so he stole my id, impersonated me and stole those results from the lab.

That’s how you got those results? Yeah. He put my good name and reputation at risk all because he and his family always think they’re above the.

I know how much he admired my father. He was a flawed and complicated man, but his drive and determination was unmatched , and he never ever let someone get the better of him, which is why I’m trying to follow in his footsteps.

Look at him over there, droning on trying to impression. Doesn’t he know droning is your specialty? . Stefan will get what’s coming to him soon enough. I love a good tour wreck dinner party. Mm-hmm. . Let’s join them. See how things are progressing. Whoa, whoa. You okay? All good.

Good job buddy. I seven believe that you’re drunk, but maybe tone it down Well, shin’s looking okay. Is it a little warm in here? I just me,

I’m glad you were raised his dinner party, ej. It’s given me a chance to, uh, stress the importance of rising up our stock price. Of course, it’s all he’s thinking about. I can vouch for that. Okay. EJ is the first to admit that this stock slide was due to an unfortunate mistake. But believe me when I say that, he’s doing everything in his power to make sure it never happens again.

Isn’t that right? Ej? Uh, of course. And he’s using this opportunity to make changes within the company. That’s why I’ve developed a new program to teach all DER employees media strategies as we navigate this new environment. And I know EJ is fully on board. See, when I, I’m sorry I’m not finished. When one employee is able to cause this big a crisis by opening his mouth, that tells me that the culture needs to be changed.

And I can assure you that we are going to change that culture. Stop talking.

Mr. Shim heard you the first time. For God’s sake, the man is old, not deaf.

So, uh, if you’re distancing yourself from Gwen, does that mean you’re quitting the spectator? No, Gwen certainly doesn’t want me there, but you own half of. Yeah, but it’s, it’s Gwen’s legacy, not mine. So you’re unemployed again. We’ll see. Don’t worry. I’ll find some non-legal way to fill my own. Well, then maybe you could fill in Harry Titan.

Right. Yeah. Doing what? Taking off for Alex. I wouldn’t complain.

So Maggie got the job that you were expecting at Titan? I would say deserving, but yes, ooi. Do you have a problem answering to strong women? I love strong women. Gender is not the problem here. Gwenny. That job should be mine. I should be the one on the front page of the Spectator with my plans of laying out the future of this company.

So why isn’t it you?

Because my Uncle Vic, not a near full of some gossip about my extracurricular activities. Hmm.

Wow. Oh dear. That’s funny, huh? Yeah, it’s um, lady Whistleblower. Oh, lady Whistleblower. You know all about that, huh?

Yeah. I’m really sorry to tell you that I am the new editor at The Spectator, and Leo is my gossip column expert. Oh. Great. Come on. I mean, what’s the big deal? Anyway, you are

handsome and you are quite charming and you are rich. I mean, why shouldn’t you have a wrong with two beautiful, young, willing women? Yeah, I do like the way you think, but my Uncle Vic, he’s. It was little old school.

Yeah. Is Maggie really the like the best for the job there? I mean, she’s nice enough, but does Victor think that she’s CEO O material finally. Oh, thank you. Thank you. Do you know how many times I tried sounding the alarm about this in an ad? Just gets shut down with this extreme prejudice. And now honestly Gwen, I’m just trying not to blow my inheritance.

Well, if you want that pot at the end of the rainbow, I think you’re gonna have to be a good little soldier. And you’re gonna have to follow Auntie Maggie’s orders, aren’t you? Mm. That’s the deal. Well, I think it sounds good. Just don’t cause trouble. You get to live a fabulous life and he had to sha whomever you like.

So kind of wish you told me that. Y.

When I asked you how you got those lab results, you said you have your ways, well, I guess his ways are identity theft. Johnny, you don’t have to believe me now. You can just talk to the lab director who called me while I was at the nurses station looking for my lost badge. What exactly did he say? Oh, he figured out that someone unauthorized used to get those reports.

Were he gonna say something, John? What? What can I say? Yes, yes. I use Trips Badge to get those results. Yes. Wow. You know, that’s illegal, right? I needed answers. Wendy and I are trying to help someone, Wendy and I, are you actually throwing her under the bus? That’s not what I was doing. Then why did you lie to me about how you got those results?

Because he knew how you would react, and he’s too much of a coward, to be honest.

What, what? I admit they make good steak here. What do you, what do you want from them? I was just remembering the last meal we shared here. What about it? You got a little carried away, ordered the most expensive bottle of wine on the list, and then when we were. We heard another. Hmm. And then later when we went home, stop.

Stop, stop. What? That wasn’t a good night because I seem to remember it being one of the best nights of my life. I mean, a night that lasted all the way through till morning. By the way, I never felt closer to you. To anyone can tell by the way your cheeks are flush. You remember? I know what you’re doing.

Well, is it working

Mr. Shin? I, I am so sorry for that outburst. I blame myself for what happened with the stock, obviously, and it’s frustrating. Understandable. And, and once he gets the prices up, the frustration will be gone. Ah, as will I. Yes. Well,

Uh, uh, dinner should be ready. Uh, let’s eat, shall we? Yes.

I know you’re supposed to act impaired, but, you know, uh, maybe not. Try not to insult shin. I, I didn’t mean to say that. I, I don’t know what’s happening. Stefan was getting under my skin and just slipped out. Oh, you look sweaty. I’m tall here. No, it’s not. Are you sure that you swed the correct drinks with s Stephan?

Of course. Oh, because Stephan’s the someone who’s acting fine and you’re acting off, I’m fine. The drug shall kick in for Stephan any minute. We will go and sit down and have dinner with Mr. Shin and Stephan will prove that he is unfit by going face first into his bowl of soup.

So Alex totally undercut your authority and he still has a job. I let him off with a warning. Let me, he was, he was only being passionate about something that he believes in. Still almighty, you can’t have insubordination in your ranks. The truth is that I didn’t wanna become c e O and fire the only other kek in the company on my first day.

That would’ve be a bad look. Ugh. I wish I had the KIS I could count on.

I wasn’t just gonna. Auntie Mag, shut the door on Bella. So I back channelled my concerns to my uncle. All right, . So, um, let me get this straight. You. The, um, you said the boss, your, your boss, the big boss, made a decision. A bad one, . And you went, you went behind her back to her husband . Wow. I mean, when you put it like that, uh, I guess I’m not a.

Team player. Name one person in your family who is, what you thinking of? One in particular. You are like that. You more just go after what you want. Consequences be damned. Oh, huh. What about you? How are you raised?

Mostly I raised myself.

By the way, it doesn’t seem like either of us have gotten what we want.

It’s misery.

Where is mine

to misery?

So you wanna get outta here?

Look. I’m sorry. Okay. That I got trip in trouble, but he gave me no choice. Okay. How do you figure, I asked you for your help. He didn’t wanna give it to me, so I borrowed your badge for like 10 minutes. Okay. No, you didn’t borrow trip’s. Badge, you stole it. So what you, you, you think that what my dad is doing to s Stephan is okay, but both things are bad.

Yeah. One’s a hell of a lot worse. You knew this was wrong or you wouldn’t have kept it from me.

You should go, Wendy. No, I’m serious. Johnny, what do we have? If I can’t trust you, I’ll text you tomorrow. Once you’ve had time to think about this, you’ll understand.

Look, I’m sorry. Are you okay? Ali warned me about how impulsive and selfish shawny can be.

I guess I’m still trying to learn what that means.

It’s a great idea to have Harold set us up in here with coffee and desserts. Mr. Shin. Nicole, can I get you coffee? No, thank you. Ah, I’ll pass. Aj, you’re not gonna say no. Only if you join me.

This is one of my favorites. See why it’s one of the only abstracts we own.

And father acquired this squad in Tuscan. I agree. F l had Yes indeed.

Why don’t you show Mr. Shin that incredible sculpture you purchased at the auction? Oh, I would love to. It is so special. Believe it or not, our father actually owned it in the sixties.

You tracked him again and maybe he didn’t get enough in the first trick, but this time, this time, He’s going down.

So you wanna know if your shameless flirting is working. What’s so shameless about it? I was just remembering what it was like to be in bed with you that night and hoping that by the time September rolls around and we’ve made new memories, you’ll be. Stephan, who

I admire your persistence.

What else do you admire about me? Uh, check. Please check. Oh, we can’t leave yet. Why not? I pre-ordered the souffle for dessert. We can get it to go. You want to go back home just like last time?

I am sorry. I know I was hard on Johnny there. No, you had it coming to him. You have every right to be pissed. It was my first day back at the hospital, you know, and I wanted everything to be perfect and just, I dunno. I feel like such a responsibility to honor Kayla’s memory and I’m sure she’d be proud.

I know I’ll never. Go the doctor she was. But that’s important to me that I don’t do anything that’ll stain her reputation or even this point, my dad, while still breathing. Hey you, nothing wrong today.

Thanks. Okay. I’m really sorry Joani put you in this position.

If I known what he was gonna do, I would’ve.

Oh, Stephan, why don’t you share some of the numbers with Mr. Shin for the South Africa project? You sure you want me to do that now? Why not? Oh, Johnny. Hello Uncle Stephan. My son. What a grand addition to the group. I Hey dad, . Oh, have you? Have you two met? You’ve got to meet my boy. Hey, can I talk to you for a second?

In a minute. In a minute. I’m sure you know all about this young man. Way after all. He could be the air to the Damira throne. Well, I am will aware. Hello Johnny. Mr. Shin. Hello. Come on. You can do better than that. Johnny Tuck. Oh, oh, oh. Of course, Mr. Shim is a legendary judge of character and talent, so I’m sure he’ll find Johnny completely amazing when he finally gets his chance.

Huh? Hey, right, and let’s not hold against him. That whole new devil possession thing, wife, you need to go. Now. Why? Because there’s been a mistake. The only mistake I see is two CEOs, okay? That, are you all right? I got this. Ej. Hey, I don’t know what is going on with you, but you need to make an excuse. Go upstairs and lie down cause I’m not tired.

You need to lie down. Before you embarrass yourself any further, embarrass myself. Who the hell do you think you are? Ej, clearly you are messed up. I am not messed up. You are three.

Oh, okay. That was clearly not supposed to happen. Okay. You know what? Ha didn’t sleep much. He was up all night. But I switched it. I, I, I, I know I switched it. Just come with me. Uh, excuse us. CJ just needs to, to freshen up. Johnny. Yeah.

Mr. Shit. I apologize for my brother’s behavior. Honestly, I. No idea what’s going on.

Hi guys. Lee Ding. When trip we interrupting something? Nope. No, we were just uh, talking. Where were you? Two Dinner at the bistro. We brought you some delicious. So, . I drove nice and slow so it wouldn’t collapse. You guys want some? Yeah, that sounds great. I’ll go put it on the plate. Okay. I’m gonna go change.

Oh, tired. Long. Good. Uh, um. Oh, and here we are sitting on your bed. Uh, don’t worry, I’m gonna head to sleep soon. Have a long day too. You know, it, uh, it isn’t that bad for sleeping. It’s that sexually. Pretty comfortable couch. Ah, well, glad you don’t mind. Yeah, yeah. No, no. Um, what I meant was, is, um, you wouldn’t mind me.

Yeah. I was thinking, uh, you know, I’m sure it’s very expensive for you to move back here and quit your job out west, so maybe I can help with that. Oh, pow out. You can save a little money. Crash out here on the couch. Let me have your room. Yeah. The answer is no, Lee. He’s not in. Let him answer. Uh, look, if this living situation’s a little too cozy for you all, uh, I can always go back to my dad’s.

Oh, I love having you here. My brother’s just gonna have to get used to the couch. He made it. Now he gets to lie in it.

Well, it seems you are wrestling with an impossible. And which question is that? Well, on one hand, you could rely on the Keri Aus that went crying to your husband when he didn’t get his way. Any other on the other, you could rely on the Keri Aus that lied to your daughter after he perpetrated an ill-fated kidnapping scheme.

Well, that’s why I’m the c e I get paid to make those tough calls. I suppose that’s true. Mm-hmm. . Well, most people would think it’s an easy call and Alex. May not be a loyal employee, but he’s not a felon. But you are not most people are you Maggie? No, I’m not. I actually think you did a pretty good job when you were in charge, uh, a few years back.

You might be the only one, maybe. So still is fun to imagine. Oh, you and the two of us taking on the corporate world, defying expectations both. No. Victor would never sign off on it. So I’m ceo. Victor doesn’t get a say. Not about Alex. And not about you.

Maddie, are you home? But who’s Maddie? Leo. Where you, what? You live here with Leo Stark. I. The little twrp cost me my spot at running tight. Whoa. And it’s a good thing that that little twerp isn’t here, isn’t it? Oh, it’s a good thing. . Right now I believe we were in search of a nightcap. That’s what we came here for.

Now, is that the only thing you came here for?

This isn’t making sense what is happening to me. Oh, I don’t, oh gosh. I, I don’t know how he managed it, but Steph had must have switched the drinks. How? Why? I don’t know.

This is probably his plan all along. But how did he figure it out? Ah, this might be my fault. What you guys said that Stefan was on drugs and something about that didn’t really sit right. So I got my hands on a copy of the lab reports you had ordered. I found out what was in the vi. I thought you guys were trugging it.

My God. You told him. I know. I didn’t say it was you. Oh God. I.

You know, your brother warned me that you were still feeling the effects of what Dr. Rolf had put you through, but clearly he’s the one we should be worried about. Well, I appreciate your concern for my brother’s wellbeing, but he’s resilient now. You don’t have to defend on family obligation. Our obligation is to the shareholders.

You’re right. Sometimes I’m too loyal for my own good. Uh, may I speak freely? Of course, yes. I have been worried about my brother ever since the death of his mother and something like that. It leaves a mark. Oh, clearly your worries are justified. What can we do about it? He and I are equal. Perhaps not for long.

Where did Trip and Wendy go? They went outside to get some air. Hmm. So they didn’t want tole

a. A. Apparently not. Gabby. That outfit is incredible. Mm. Well it’s not for you. It’s for when my six months of hell are up and I can finally sleep with the man that I love. I see. So this is you torturing me. Yeah. For you torturing me. Mm. Yeah. Museum. Incredible meal. How can you stand it? I can, so I guess all there’s left for me to do is to go back to that big, cozy bed all by myself.

You know, I’ve been meaning to ask you that contract that I signed, I know that I can’t be with Stephan, but, and there’s nothing in there that says I can’t dream about him. Right. Imagining him in that bed with me. Ripping off this outfit, taking me into his arms, making love to me all night long. Okay, well have a good night on the.

Victor can’t stop you from bringing me in to replace Alex. Hmm. Now you just need a good answer for the other 10,473 reasons why it’d be a terrible idea for you to do that. Well, I’ll get to work on that right away. In the meantime, I need to go home. Um, you wanna share an elevator? Absolutely. I just need to do a quick text.

Can you gimme a second? I’ll meet you in the hallway. Hey. Hmm. Thank you for listening to all my stupid Mistakes and standing by me anyway. You are, you’re a very loyal person. Who knows? I may be asking for that loyalty in return. Pretty soon.

Maybe we should just enjoy that drink. Okay. Can’t blame the guy for trying Right.

You, um, can’t blame for trying not one. You okay?

Okay.

No. No, not. Okay.

Let’s change that up, shall we?

Days of Our Lives Transcript

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 Hi. Oh, hello there. Martini or Gin Atomic. Oh, after the day? I’ve had both, but not yet. Unfortunately, our workday is not finished. It’s not. Now, I think specifically you may have a problem. What happened? Well, I ran into Johnny at the park today and I overheard him talking to Wendy and I don’t know how they figured it out, but they suspect that you are the one that is trucking.

Stephan?

Yeah. Thanks for calling Dad. Yeah, it’s, uh, being back here without Kayla. It feels wrong and sad, you know? Yeah. I just really wanna do my best to live up to the Sanders that she set.

Yeah. Yeah. First day’s going. Okay. So far. Uh, I got my new ID badge and drained, uh, my first ABSs in the er. It’s like I, it’s like I never left.

Thanks. I love you too, Johnny. Hey, are you, are you okay? Oh, yeah, yeah, I’m fine. Um, actually, I was uh, here to see you.

That’s right. I wanna talk to you about Bella. Well, it’s just that Auntie Mag and I aren’t really seeing eye to eye on its future, and since Bella’s been my baby for the past six months now, I was hoping that maybe you would consider my input before making any major decisions. Do you want to talk about us?

Well, I thought that was the last thing you’d want to talk about, given the way you rushed out of it just a little while. And I was wrong, cowardly. Well, in all fairness to you, Oh, I kissed you impulsively. Um, I could see how very thrown you were and I, I honestly, I just, I got really caught up over the sales and numbers.

You don’t have to explain Glenn, and you don’t have to apologize, but I do need to explain my, my reaction at least, and apologize for it. Yes, I can. No, there isn’t. Okay. Please just let me speak. When I found out that my divorce papers had been lost, I dunno. I thought maybe that was fate telling me that there was still hope for me and Sarah.

Yes, Sarah assigned the papers and she left town, right, and I know it’s naive to keep holding out hope, but naive or not, it is what I am doing, which is why I, I can’t even consider a romantic relationship with you until I know for sure that my divorce is. And if that’s not okay with you, I do understand

like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.

What are you doing here, father? Checking up on your wayward offspring? Well, without much luck lately, but I went to the Salem in to see Lee and he told me he is living here now. He is. Ian Gabby moved in yesterday, he and Gabby. So your brother is celebrating by that ridiculous contract with a woman who doesn’t love him.

Yeah. You know, I suggest you take that up with him, but, uh, he’s not home right now. Is someone actually sleeping on a sofa? I mean, don’t you have enough bedrooms for the three of you? Uh, we do have enough rooms for me, Lee and Gabby, but, uh, there’s four of us here. Now that my friend trip has moved in,

Wendy told me you were working here again. Uh, yeah, I am. And uh, look, this is about Wendy. You’ve got nothing to worry about, man. We’re just friends and roommates. There’s nothing romantic going on between us. Oh, I. . Yeah, Wendy told me, um, and I trust her. So anyway, I’m not even here about Wendy. I’m actually here about my dad.

But I spoke to Johnny and Wendy earlier. I could have sworn they believed me. Oh, by the time I got to them, they were questioning if Stefan was using drugs. And they’ve suggested that you might be the one jacking Stephan. But how did they figure it out? Well, I, I don’t think they. I think it was just conjecture.

Ah, damn. So what did you do? Uh, how did you react? Light my ass off. Of course, I totally vouched for your innocence. I even told them that I was there when the investigator told you that S’S fingerprints were on the vial. Good. Good. Did they buy it? They seem to, I hope they. Oh, if Johnny knew the truth, then he could ruin everything.

Uh, is your father all right? Oh, yeah. Yeah. No, he’s, he’s. He’s fine. He did though, um, get some tests taken the other day for some demer business. I just wonder if I could get a copy of the results. Nah, I’m afraid I can’t help you there. Uh, HIPAA rules. I’d still need written authorization from your father,

Well, yeah, but my dad sent me here to get the results form to save him time. So now you’re telling me I gotta go all the way back home, get him to sign some paper and then come all the way back here to get ’em. Come on. Sorry Johnny. I don’t make the. And I really prefer not to break any on my first date back here.

You’re living with a boy, a man, a doctor, a friend. So he’s living here with you, but he’s not a boyfriend. No, he’s not. I’m seeing Johnny Damara, actually. Johnny Damara now. Why didn’t I know that? It’s not like I was hiding anything. Johnny and I have been friends for a while and uh, we just started casually dating.

I, I know, I know. He’s not a doctor or a lawyer. He is not Chinese. No, I don’t care anything about that. You don’t, your brother turned his whole world upside down for Gabby Hernandez. He lost his job. He gave away his shares of stock and he’s gonna lose his marriage eventually. But you, you are cementing our family’s legacy at this company by being involved with the air for the Damara enterprise.

Well, don’t you win . I’m so very proud of you. Why are Johnny and Mundi so determined to investigate any little irregularity they stumble across? I clearly spent too much time reading Hardi Boy’s Mysteries to Johnny while he was young. . Great. Well now you have to figure out a way to assure him that there’s no mystery here to think my very own son would accuse me of, of doing exactly what you’re doing.

Look, it’s, it’s cuz he loves you and he’s worried about you. That’s all he’s worried about. My brother. Hmm. Little does he know what his beloved Uncle Stephan is willing to do to me. He actually drugged my water at the office earlier. Bastard. Yes. Luckily I was able to switch the bottles. , and you did that without my help.

Good job. So how did it affect him? I’m not too sure. He skipped out of there early, just like he did yesterday to see Gabby. This is the second wasted opportunity for him to make a fool of himself at Tamir.

Ah, good Miss.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Stephan, did you get a head start on your cocktail somewhere else? No. No. I just, I got a. Hi, Kevin. Okay. Why don’t you sit down, Stephan. I’ll get you some water.

Thanks. Mm-hmm. . Wow. I don’t, I don’t know why I’m feeling so out of it. It makes sense to me. You were held hostage for days while Rove, zapped and repped your brain. No surprises here Experiencing. After the fact. Yeah, I, I’m sure that’s it. Or maybe there’s a flu going around. I’ve been feeling peaked on and off myself, but I certainly can’t attribute it to having been brainwashed.

Right. Oh, that is strange. I, Ugh. Oh man. I’m gonna go upstairs, splash some cold water on my face and lay down. Leave it up. Yes. Feel best. Yeah.

It seems the drug is having its intended effect. Maybe there’s a flu going around. What is that all about? Well, if I had to play along, obviously otherwise he might suspect, oh no, my head is spinning. How long is this gonna go on? As long as it. Well, you know, if no one at Damira sees him like this, then it’s all for nothing.

Nicole, you have just given me a Scathingly. Brilliant idea.

You’re welcome. Thank you Uncle Vic. No, you know what? I knew you would end up seeing things my way. Alright, take care.

Is it possible that I didn’t be clear that that chair is no longer your domain? Uh, sorry again, please. I went downstairs to, uh, break the news to the Bella staff, and I’m terminating the magazine. Well, I wish you had told me, but, oh, well, listen, I thought that since I was gonna lower the boom, it was my decision.

But you know what? It seems that someone has been allowing the staff to keep banker’s hours cuz they were gone. So I guess I’m just gonna have to tell ’em tomorrow. Hmm. Sounds a good plan. I’m glad you approved.

Look, Alice, I know you didn’t agree with my decision, but it was my decision, so I hope you respect that. Of course. I’m the ex c o, the only person with authority over you. Now it’s Uncle Vic

Hello. Hello, Victor. What can I do for you?

You think that there might still be a chance for us? Of course. I’m willing to.

I love you Zander. If you need to know that your, your marriage is over before you can move on.

Vir Zandy, I have acquired some very exciting news. It’s about you, me. Ooh, whatever it is. I’m sure. I don’t want it in Lady whistleblowers calling. Oh, don’t worry. Lady W can be very discreet when necessary. Right. So you suggest some news? I do indeed. I was sniffing around for dirt at the county clerk’s office and wallah, what’s this?

It’s your final divorce decree.

Wait, how did you get this in so quickly? Well, I was sweet talking Jimmy in records. Reminded him how he screwed up royally when he lost the decree the first time. Turns out he didn’t want to be in my column, so he agreed to expedite the executed paperwork from what he just gave it to you. Are you doubting my charms?

Okay, fine. He knows you’re my boss and I told him how eager you are to move on with your life. And now Sir Xander of Cook, you most certainly can.

Dunno what to say. I believe the words you’re looking for are, thank you, lady Whistleblower from the bottom of my heart. Yes, of course. Thank you. And now that you’re finally free of that Sanctimonious, judgey Mc Judson, mayor of Judge Town, we can finally celebrate.

Okay, look, I know Sarah Pacer rejected you and it still hurts, but I wanna remind you that she ended your marriage because in great that she is, she didn’t appreciate that every action you took was done so that you could support her in the manner to which she was accustomed. And how does she repay you?

By ratting you out to Bonnie and Justin and dumping your incredibly finance. Meanwhile, g Guinevere over here puts her own cute little ass on the line for you. She goes so far as to sacrifice her relationship with her father to take you aside when there was nothing in it for her. That’s how much she cares for you.

Okay? Netty, you don’t, you don’t need to. I, I, yes, I know I don’t need to sell you to him. You’ve already sold yourself. I’m not in the literal sense of. What I meant to say, Mr. Sandman, who rhymes with Sandman, but you do not put anyone to sleep. In fact, you are a stimulating and fascinating person in my book, but there is nobody in your life who ever has been or ever will be so loyal and so dedicated to you as Madam Mazzeo Guinevere of Riz Check.

And not that it’s any of my business, but if it were, I would already have a ring on this fine woman’s finger.

Yes, Victor. Thank you for calling and I, I really appreciate your input on this. Yeah, you too.

Um, he wanted to talk to me about Bella really. What’d he say

That he fully supports my decision to shut up the magazine? Does he? You know, I was so curious as to one, how he knew about my decision since I just made it today, and you are the only one I discussed it with.

So what you, you think I said something to him? I know you did. Because Victor told me. So

tell your dad if he wants the results of his test, he’s gonna have to come and get them himself. I hope you understand. Yeah, right. Um, of course. Yeah. Uh, and I actually need to go. I’m don’t wanna leave you around. See it though. Yeah, sure. Thanks. Thanks for nothing. Damnit. How am I gonna figure out if my dad’s lying?

I don’t think I heard him. Right. Did you just say you approve of something I’m doing? Oh, very much so. Okay. What if I told you that I don’t? Johnny’s the Dera. He, you don’t have to care. I do. Tony doesn’t even want to follow in his father’s footsteps. He wants to make movies and he’s good at it. Well, he can pick daisies for all I care.

He is still a dememer and will still be the heir apparent. And the more time you spend with the Demaris, the stronger our position will be. And Jess, when. Scathingly. Brilliant idea. Away. Shin is in town for a meeting. No shin. Mm-hmm. . I think I see where you’re going with this because you are as brilliant as you are.

Give him a call.

Hello, Mr. Shin, AJ Dira, how are you going? I’m fine. What can I do for you? I was just thinking it’s been a long time since we’ve broken bread. How would you like to stop by the mansion and dine with your co CEOs? Well, that sounds lovely. When do you have in mind? Well, if you don’t have any plans tonight, whenever you can get here.

Well, I’m vanished. Didn’t, uh, well my daughter’s out that much of a cook,

I’ll be there immediately. Excellent

way. Shin is on his way. And now all we have to do is wait for the.

Oh, uh, Mr. Shin. Hey. Hello. Hello, Johnny. Good to see you. Jim Wynn has been saying some very nice things about. . Really? Mm-hmm. . Oh, that’s, uh, that’s good to hear. What? I’m going to give you two some privacy, so have a good night. Hey, I hope I didn’t chase him off. Believe me. You didn’t. What’s up? I was wondering if, if you had a minute to take a look at something.

Yes, sure. I, uh, I was able to get into the lab and I got a copy of those test results my dad had ordered on that drug that I found, and I. Have no idea what I’m looking for. How did you get this? I have my ways. Okay. Well, I am an expert in cyber, not Ken. Mm-hmm. . Let’s cross source this puppy. Oh, well I already did a web search, so did you try the dark web?

No, no. I, I guess I should have.

Okay. I got a hit. Oh, what? Uh, your dad said this was some kind of recreational street drug. Yeah, well, I think if your Uncle Stephan wanted to get high, he probably wouldn’t use a rare medical grade tr that not only induces euphoria, but also has a host of nasty side effects. So what you’re saying, my dad lied to me.

I’m sorry. I think so.

This is perfect. And when Stephan tries to drug me at dinner, you will turn the tables on him. Right. And he will make a fool of himself in front of none other then way shin. Mm-hmm. the best person to witness his foolishness. Exactly. And given Mr. Shin’s notoriously thin patience, my brother could be on the unemployment line by tomorrow.

Yeah, I hope so. But ooh, do you really wanna do this under shin’s nose? I mean, there’s more people to, to witness you switching the drinks, and it’s a risk unwilling to take besides if the truth ever does come out. I haven’t drugged anyone. It’s all on Steph and my, my hands are clean.

Auntie Maggie, don’t you, aunt Maggie? Me, according to Victor, you told him I didn’t have enough experience to make an informed decision. Whoa. I I, I didn’t say that. Not in so many words. Well, then what did you mean by calling him and giving him a heads up that your incompetent wife was about to make a big mistake?

Oh, I definitely didn’t say that. No, but you went on and on to him about how I was cav literally shutting down this magazine. That he named after his beloved daughter. Nice use of pathos. I’ll give you that. Did you seriously think that DIB would overrule me? That he would side with you over his own life?

That he wouldn’t tell me that you went behind my back, auntie. I’m sorry. And believe me, I know my place around here. It’s just that I passionately believe in the magazine. I felt like it was worth fighting for. It’s nothing personal. Nothing personal. I have, I have reminded you twice today that that chair no longer belongs to you.

I am your boss, Alex. I am the C of this company. I know, and I respect that. Do you, because your behavior says otherwise. Now if you can’t accept the fact that I now have the job that you think you’re entitled to, well then you know you are free to resign. Now

let me fix my work here is done. I will leave you two love birds alone. Go bend Jimmy’s ear some more. Maybe a few other choice Body parts Chowk.

Um, I’m sorry he put you on the spot like that. Please know that I, I did not put him up to my, I I know you, I know you didn’t. Grandma we’ll say he did have a few valid points though. I agree. And you did for everything on the line for me. You sacrificed your own happiness to try to make things work for Sarah and me, and you’re so very grateful for that g.

I can never thank you enough, but, um, I thought with time maybe things would become clearer and I know I promised you a decision when my divorce came through, and

the truth is

I still love Sarah. I dunno if I’m ever gonna get over her. And you deserve someone who’s gonna love you with their whole heart.

I’m sorry, I just, I think the of us can be

not right.

Damn it. And I, I was worried enough when I thought my dad or my uncle might have a drug problem. But if my dad is the one giving the drugs to my uncle just to get ahead in business, I mean, I know, I know they don’t have the best relationship and back stabbing is kind of the dememer way. But after everything Stefan’s been through, who knows what that could do to him.

And if my dad were to get caught, I mean, okay, take a deep breath, Johnny. We still don’t know what’s really going on here. Nicole said that the investigator found Stephan’s fingerprints on that file. Yeah, we don’t know that for sure. Now. I mean, she’s, she’s sleeping with my dad. She’d lie for him in a heartbeat.

Oh my God. What? Your dad called my dad and invited him over to dinner. Okay. Let’s say all of this is true. Could he be planning to drug Stephan and then get him to make a total fool of himself in front of my.

Yeah, I bet that’s exactly the plan. Look, I, I, I’m not just gonna sit here and do nothing about it. Okay.

Johnny, my man. Okay. Paa Uncle Stephan. Uh, I, uh, I really hate to tell you this, but I think somebody might be drugging you,

Mr. Shannon. Of course. You know the lovely Nicole Walker, how you do Indeed. She is doing a super job at Basic Black. Thank you so much. But I understand that your co c e o was arrested for kid. Yes, but we expect all the charges against Brady to be dropped. But in the meantime, we’re fully cooperating with police.

We don’t want to have any scandals on our watch

on that subject. I, I have to confide. I’m rather worried about my brother. I’m not sure what Dr. Wolf put him through, but I’m afraid it may have taken its toll on his physical and mental health. He doesn’t seem to be himself lately Really. I haven’t heard any word about Stephan’s behavior at work, but I’ve heard plenty about yours.

I’m sorry. I how you understand.

You know what, and uh, I don’t.

I mean, sure when there’s blackmail to be done or your dead body to hide or claps are closing in, you have no problem calling on good old friend Gwen.

Have a romp around in the hay to thank me,

but I am never the person you would take home to meet your mother. Am I my mother’s dad? To me she is. The point is you see me as some sort of a fearless bad girl. Don’t you have a couple of laughs with, and I help you out with your schemes, but you will never actually commit to me. I was gonna marry you until you drugged Sarah.

You killed Susan Banks. You killed Laura Horter. That was an accident. Was it? The point is, is that you are no better than me, Zander, and you never will be. And you put Sarah up on this pedestal because you think I will never measure up. Isn’t that right?

Listen, then what you think?

Maybe like, that’s my thing. Good God.

Johnny, who do you think is drugging me and why? Look, I, I can’t get into all the details right now. Okay. All I can tell you is just be careful what you eat and drink. All right. Especially tonight. Okay. I need more information. That’s all I got for you right now. Just, just, uh, please take care. Okay?

I hope I did the right thing.

It seems to me that you’re more of a danger to the company after that debacle of the press conference. My portfolio is still recovering. My sincere apologies, Mr. Shin. Look, I’m not one to make excuses, but I had a terrible flu then, but I’m fine now. My brother, however, I’m afraid he may have permanent brain damage as a result of what he’s been put through.

Oh, and you invited me over so I could see for myself. I invited you here as our guest. , but I do think you’ll be concerned about what you witnessed.

I am here today with em Winter Mike Manning, who plays Caleb on the Bay. Part of the season is set in Puerto Rico. Did you have fun filming in Port Rico? Well, I knew he was town love filming in Puerto Rico. Hi, how are you feeling, Stephen? Much better. Thank you. Mr. Shin, has anybody offered to make you drink?

No, not yet. I’ll make a round for all of us. Mm-hmm. . Oh, Mr. Schmit is so great that you came over for dinner.

I know the business world is full of back biting and in fighting, and it’s especially distressing when family members do it to each other, which is why the Titan c e o, Merry-go-round ends. With me, so if you can’t deal with it, I can deal with it Auntie, believe me. If I’m not quitting, I’m sorry that we got off to this rocky start.

Truly, that’s just that I am proud of the work that we did at Bella, and now I have developed these personal connections with a lot of the employees and, okay, well if you feel that strongly about it,

well then baby, you should be the one to go and break the news to them. But you want me to fire the staff, but in the meantime, I want you to bring me all the accounts that you are in charge of. I’d like to review them for all of them, every single one. And Alex, if you ever go behind my back again to Victor, I will fire you.

And the next time I won’t be joking.

You’re brutally honest with me. Now, I’m gonna be brutally honest with you.

Have you an idiot? Told out hope for us. You’re an idiot, Quinn. You’re wickedly smart and so beautiful and sensitive enough. Do not patronize. Please.

I don’t wanna be your friend.

I don’t wanna be your business partner. In fact, I don’t even know how I’m gonna bloody come into work every day and have to look at your face when all I want, all I want, Sandra, is just to claw your bloody eyes out right now.

Because where are you meant to leave me on or not? That is, that is what you did. I’m sorry. Handle things very poorly. I know that and I know I have to fix it. I have to make things easier for you because I’ve obviously hurt you very badly. I

look, this is, uh, This is your dad’s paper. You should be the one to run it. Yes, I know. You’ll do a bang up job without me, so, um,

goodbye. Bye.

I thought that follow up interview was tomorrow. Yeah, I, uh, I just came by to let you know that somebody else might be handling it. Oh, why is that? Well, I took your advice about having a candid conversation with Gwen about our future from the expression on your face. Take it. It didn’t go well. No, it did not.

In fact, don’t think it could have gone any worse.

Hi, can I get a refill please with the bloody alcohol at this time? Would you bad day washed? Join a club.

How did your uncle take the news? Uh, well, I mean, he wanted to know more obviously, but I couldn’t just out my own father. I wonder if he’s gonna think it’s your father anyway. Yeah, I don’t know. I mean, it wouldn’t be too much of a stretch, I guess it’s inevitable now I’m gonna have to confront my father.

I mean, you can’t just do something that underhanded and expect to get.

You know, like what you just did to me.

Here’s. Mr. Shin. Careful Mr. Shin. My brother has a very heavy hand with the V. Well, I have a strong hair. No worries. Oh, step in. You forgot the olives, so I did.

Well, we must be fresh out. Really. I know. I saw them earlier. Yeah. I’m so glad you were able to join us, Mr. Shin. I’m very glad to be here. Yeah. And I know that Shep is making beef Wellington, so I hope it’s to your liking. Oh, sounds wonderful. Yeah. Ah, hit it down, huh? Ah, don’t know how I missed him. Ah, that’s all I, I’m sure he was just feeling a little bit off still.

Oh no. That nap did me just right. I’d like to propose a toast to the future of DiMera Enterprises. Here. Here, you’re here.

Days of Our Lives Transcript

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

You don’t move from this five hours, please tell me at least got lunch. Not yet. I need this report to be flawless. Stefan DiMera isn’t happy. Mm-hmm. Trask has made it very clear that she wants Eric Andre to go. And I don’t want her rightness harder than she already has. So I am crossing my T’s and dotting my eyes.

All right. Well, I appreciate your dedication, detective Hunter, but you need to eat Well. I didn’t see you duck out for lunch either. You wanna come with, yeah, I don’t think that’s such a good idea.

So how is this for a hot scoop? Roman Brady has been talking to his dead wife’s urn and he claims that it talks back to him. I mean, , obviously, poor chaps going mental, right? Yeah. Obviously.

What’s the matter with you? Why are you so Moy?

It’s about Sarah, isn’t it?

You don’t have to worry Ms. Price. We’re all over it. Now. I, I understand that Sloan Peterson had your assets frozen, but we’re gonna be able to spin that to your advantage. We’re gonna push the narrative that, um, that you know, she’s angry and desperate and persecuting you because of some twisted desire for.

Of course. Yeah, we’ll notify you as as soon as the press press done.

Chadwick just the person I wanted to see. I’m working Leo, so am I. What for the garbage column that you write. It’s not garbage. It’s gossip. As you well know, the spectator has very high journalistic standards, so every word I write must be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. So help me, Chris Hemsworth.

So does SJ p r have a.

About what Sloan Peterson situation. No, the Alex Keka situation.

Press release is ready for your approval Mr. Jaki. Oh, well thank you. But Mr. Kikis is my dad. I thought it’d be best to keep things professional at the office.

Well, I’ll let you in on a little secret now that I’m c e o. We don’t have to keep it professional. In fact, we could have sex on my desk, right? Seriously,

say something dirty to me.

What are you doing in my chair? What?

I said, what are you doing in my chair?

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

Thank you for waiting. Yeah, no problem. All right. Here is the job application. Just, uh, fill it out and I’ll take it from there. Cool. So has anyone else applied or you’re actually the first and I am so glad that you showed up when you did because we are desperate for another set of hands. Wow. Sweet. This must be doing really well then.

It is. And. Uh, my most valuable employee just left me in the lurch. What happened? Well, she wasn’t just my employee, she was also my girlfriend and, uh, we broke up. Sorry to hear that. I’ve been there and it sucks. So on top of dealing with a heartbreak, I am also getting slammed out Burke. And that’s exactly why my mama used to say, don’t get your honey where you get your money.

Your mom’s right. . Yeah. I’m mixing business. And pleasure is always a risk day about your one true love. Were you,

are you thinking about Sarah? No, no. I was, um, I was thinking about her mother actually. Maggie, why? Oh, Michael Uncle just made her the new CEO of Titan Industries yesterday, and by the time the word got out, we’d already put the paper to bed. Oh well, Oh well come on. When This’s big news should have been on the front page.

Yeah, the business section. Perhaps with the arrest of Brady and Eric for kidnapping the COCE O of Damara Enterprises. Well, clearly that is the winner here and the Brothers Grim was an inspired headline. If I do say so myself, that’s pretty clever. Yeah. Under Sure. Fire Away to Sell more papers. Have we sold more paper?

Dunno yet. But um, I’m sure it’s gonna be an improvement. Still wish we had the Tyson story, and I wish you’d start focusing on what’s in front of you instead of the one who got away.

Sorry, it’s a force of habit. Here you are. Have a habit of sitting in the CEO’s chair. Well, Sonny, never minded sharing his desk. Well, I. Okay. Got it. Alex, are you gonna have a problem reporting to me? No. No, auntie Not at all. This is what Uncle Vic wants, so I will do my best for Titan in a supporting role.

Well, I know that you were very disappointed that he didn’t give you the. No, really auntie. It’s cool. Lately I’ve had to get used to a lot of things. I don’t really like

what Alex Curios situation. I don’t know what you’re talking about. Oh, come on now. Chadwick, don’t play dumb with me. Alex works for Titan. You work for Titan’s PR company. What’s the skinny behind the musical chair situation? In the executive suite, there are no musical. Victor Carus found the ideal CEO O candidate, Maggie Carus, and the board is convinced that should be the perfect fit.

I’m not interested in lines from the press release. I wanna know what happened behind the scenes, the backstabbing, the double crossing, the betrayal. Sorry to disappoint your vast readership, but there was none of that. Oh, really? I heard Alex was a shoeing for the job, and then Victor did a 180 at the last minute and chose Maggie instead.

Something must have prompt.

Okay. You want the real skinny? Yeah, I want the real skinny. It was you. What? Yep. You reached out to Vic for comment about Alex’s extracurricular activities with Alex Chanel. So we reconsider, are you saying Victor passed over Alex because he’s a man whore? I didn’t use that term, but Sure. Ah, what’s, uh, what’s going.

Wanna answer me?

Okay. Looks pretty straightforward. Do you want any references? Yes, please. There is a space for that. Right on the bottom, you put their phone numbers and then you can circle one of the two hour timeframes in which you want me to call them. It eliminates phone tag. Ooh, that’s smart. . Oh, believe me, I haven’t always been this organized, but time management is crucial to run a successful bakery.

Mm-hmm. , uh, especially when you have to get up at the Graco Dawn every day. See you mean, and tell me you’re not pulling all items at the club. That will be a no. . . But anyway, I really do need to hire someone. So if you could just fill that out and then get it back to me as soon as possible. Yeah, will do. Oh, and by the way, I am.

Talia. Um, I’ll be back soon.

I don’t get it. Why wouldn’t it be a good idea for us to grab lunch? Didn’t you read Abe’s email? His office sent out a new policy on inter-office relationships, and we’re not supposed to be fraternizing. , but how’s that Fraternizing partners have lunch together in the job all the time. Yeah. Well, that’s the thing.

I’m not, I’m not, we’re not partners. I’m your boss. So come on, Ray. I mean, we had burgers at the Brady Pub on Valentine’s Day. You didn’t seem to have a problem with it. I mean, it’s, it’s not like it was a date.

Wait, did you think it was

anyone going to answer me? Well, I was just asking Chad for a comment on the shake up at Titan, but since you are the brains at SJ p r, perhaps you’d like to do the honors. Certainly, after an exhaustive search, Victor Kakkis has found the ideal c e o candidate in Maggie Kakkis. The board is every confidence she’ll be the perfect fit, not you too.

Excuse me. Chad already gave me the party line. I want your comment on the real story. That’s what I just did. Exhaustive. I don’t think so. Victor was going to choose Alex and then changed his mind at the last minute. According to Chad, it’s at least partly because he was a, uh, whatever Mr. Damer told you was strictly off the record.

Why is there more to the story? You were dating Alex Kiki exclusively, and then your relationship suddenly fell apart. Is that part of the reason why Victor chose not to name him c e o? We’re done. Was Alex having threesomes behind your back? Did he cheat on you with the bisexual baker? Honey, did he dump you because you couldn’t satisfy him in certain aspects of sleep enough?

It has nothing to do with her. They broke up cuz Alex shut off her phone. What? They were on a date. Alex didn’t want to be interrupted, so he shut off her phone. She didn’t get the sick. Goodbye to her dying mom there.

All these emails. Well, we’ve been in meetings all day. Right, right. Uh, just getting to know the different departments on Maggie, do you need a little help with the lay of the land? Um, oh, I got it. Thanks. Okay. It’s just that last night called me a right hand man. You said that you’d be counting on me to help bring you up to speed on some things.

Well, the meeting and the meetings, they, they took care. . Okay. Okay. Okay. So what are you tackling first? Um hmm. Well, I’d like to find ways to make Titan run more efficiently. Decide where we, the wisest for us to vest moving forward. Huh? There was one area that stood out to me in particular publishing. Oh, well, as soon as Sonny put me in charge of that department, my first order of business was to make Bella Magazine the flag.

The potential is huge. So we’ve been increasing the profile for the business, strengthening the brand. In fact, I just turned in the latest advertising budget for approval. Yes, I saw that. But you won’t be needing my approval. I’m shutting down the magazine,

but this publication has a very bright future and I just. Wish that you’d stopped second guessing. And of course, you, you’re, you’re absolutely right. I’m sorry. I mean, we couldn’t have wished for a better lead story on day one than Brady and Eric’s arrest. It’s just after everything we did to get this paper, I just really wanted to be a success.

Well, I can’t fault you for that. Can I partner? Oh. That’s Skylar with the numbers. Sky. Talk to me. Really? You course. Want a damn press release. Thanks. So our numbers are up 20% since last week. And not just new sales stands, I mean online traffic as well. Our subscriptions are through the room and we’ve even outsold the intruder.

Oh my God, that’s incredible.

That is not what I was expecting to hear. Tell me more, please. How did you feel when you realized you’d never get to speak to your mother again? Leo, don’t do that. Can you explain what was going through your mind when you walked into her hospital room and realized? The wft of life. Okay. If you don’t get out of here right now, I’m gonna take this phone and shove it so far, okay?

Okay. But I feel like I was asking very tactfully, just go, I’m going and I am very sorry about your mother. Get out.

What the hell is wrong with you?

Wait, did you just say you were shutting down Bella? Well, actually I’m surprised it didn’t happen sooner. The magazine has been struggling for some time. Yeah, I’ve been working to get it back on track. Alex, I’m sorry, but the numbers are The numbers by shuttering Bella Titan can take a ride off . I got it.

Auntie, can you please just gimme a little bit more time to show you what I can do? I’m afraid the decision’s been made. What about the staff? What are you, are you just gonna let ’em all go without any warning? We’ll offer a generous severance package. A severance package. And what about Uncle Vic? Bella was named after his daughter.

Do you really think he’s gonna sign off on this? He doesn’t have to. Fitzer isn’t the c e o of this company. I am

sorry. Sorry. I just, um, I got really excited about the numbers as well.

Skyler has told me we are up 20% from last week. Isn’t that amazing? So between lady whistleblowers, skating wit, you are awe inspiring work ethic. We give the British tabs a run for their money, right? Governor? Oh, I’ll be back. Where are you going? Don’t you wanna break out the SHS and celebrate? I can’t just sit around here congratulating each other.

If we’re gonna keep these numbers up, it’s gonna require work and stories that actually matter. I’m gonna see if Maggie will talk to me about. Take you over at tire.

What’s her problem?

Hi mama. I hope you didn’t come by for a bear claw because we are all out. Oh, no. No, honey. I didn’t come by for that. Actually. I came to talk to you. Okay. What’s. I just had a meeting with Bell Brady from here on out, she is going to be our attorney, our only attorney. I fired the rest of my team. Why? What happened?

Because they got their behinds handed to them by Sloane Peterson. What happened? Oh honey, on nothing good. You see, all of my assets have been frozen and so have yours.

I didn’t think it was a date, our dinner on Valentine’s Day. No, not at all. No, I just, um, I’m not at the time anyway. What do you mean? Not at the time. All right. You know what, Jada, as much as I, I enjoyed our evening, I just, I think it’s best that we don’t do it again and. I hope you’re not offended by that.

Offended. No. If that’s what you want. Yeah, that’s what I think it’s, yes. I think that that’s best to not socialize outside of work. Yeah, yeah. Right. I just, um, I don’t want there to be any confusion, infusion confusion, so that I don’t think. Hmm. That you’re interested in me in a way that you’re not. Yeah.

Right. I’m, yeah. Even though that’s, uh, not exactly the case. Ray, are you seeing it? Are you interested in me?

I am sorry, what was the question? Well, you said you didn’t want any confusion. No. You didn’t want me to get the wrong idea. Didn’t want you thinking that you were interested in me. Huh? But then you said that wasn’t the case. No. Right. Did say that. Didn’t I? Brief? Listen, aside from being my boss, you’re my friend.

I’m a good friend, so you can tell me honestly. Do you wanna be in one friends?

There she is. Talia. Oh my God. Oh my God. Honey, it’s so good to see you. I know you too. Okay. I’m guessing you two know each other very well. Brave. I’d like you to meet my sister, Talia Hunter. Wow. Are you saying I can’t access any of my money? You can access some of your money. Just not much. This is insane.

How am I supposed to run a business? Well, it’s only temporary. Baby bail is going to file a motion and get it undone. Okay. When? Well, hopefully soon. Hopefully. Hopefully. Okay. What am I supposed to do in the meantime? Well, we’ll just have to tighten our purse strings. The courts are going to be watching us very closely, looking out for any unnecessary expenditures.

Like what? Well, for starters, You can take down that sign.

It’s all about the bottom line. I get it. I didn’t mean to sound cavalier. I mean of, of course Victor wants to honor his daughter’s memory, but he also wants Titan to thrive for generations to come. Amber, Bella. That was my baby. What am I supposed to do now? Oh, don’t worry, you know? Ah, I’ll find a place for you where I hear congratulations are in order.

Oh my goodness, . Well, thank you. I can’t think of a more perfect choice for the new ceo. Don’t you agree? Go get a coffee.

What’s her problem? Oh, sorry. I’ve been hanging around too much with, uh, Leo Stark. I, me to rephrase. Is Alex upset that Victor passed him over for the job? Oh, I think it’s fair to say that he’s upset. God knows I’ve been there. Yeah. Speaking of jobs, I understand. Congratulations are in order for you as well.

Although, I have to admit, I was a bit surprised that Jack and Jennifer. Uh, hand it over the spectator to you and Gwen. Oh, clearly they thought we had potential and they were right. Our first issue was a huge success. Hmm. Good for you. I was just telling Gwen actually that, uh, if you wanna keep this momentum going, we need to keep delivering big for our readers.

And I can’t think of anything bigger than an exclusive interview with Titan Industry’s brand new ceo.

So that’s why you’re here. It’s . So come on Maggie. When you grant me the interview, are you gonna write me off the way your daughter did?

So you just planted one on the guy? Gosh, it was Unpremeditated, I swear. I just. I sort of just attacked him like I was a dog in heat. Oh, I would’ve loved to have seen that. It’s not funny. Mattie. Relax. Sugar Plum. You and Zandy hit a homer a few weeks ago, so you got to first base just now, what’s the big deal?

Q and all those bloody baseball metaphors for God’s sake. And actually it wasn’t a big deal to him, which is why it’s such a big deal to. English, please. Look, when I walked in here before the kiss, he was sitting over there looking so utterly miserable. Did he say why? Well, he says it’s because we lost the Titan story, but it’s obvious that it’s because he was pining over Sarah,

why the hell would you do that, Chad? Why would you tell Leo anything about my mom? I’m, I’m, I’m sorry. All right. He just, he was coming after you with all the stuff about the breakup with Alex and I just, uh, I thought, thought what? You could save me. I’m sorry. It was an accident. I just, it was a, a, a blurt, uh, a blurted.

Was it also a blurt when you confirmed that Alex is a man whore. Okay. Last night you said that you were pissed off about that too. Yeah, I did, but I didn’t share that opinion with the media. You do realize that we work for Titan, that it’s our job to protect them. Yeah, but I, but then why would you shoot your mouth off to a freaking gossip columnist?

Because I’m an idiot.

I’m sorry. I, I, I, I shouldn’t have said anything. You mentioned Alex, and I just, I reacted emotionally. You can’t do that with a reporter. Ever. I know. I’m sorry. It was a mistake. It was a, it was a huge mistake. I don’t like Alex. You know that. I think he’s a douchebag, but it doesn’t, it doesn’t gimme the right to be a jerk.

So I’m, I’m sorry, but honestly, I’m glad he didn’t get the c e o gave. Is that what this is about? You don’t want me working with Alex? What? No. Okay. So you’re not trying to sabotage my firm’s relationship with our biggest client because you don’t think I can keep things professional with my ex. I didn’t say that.

What it sounds like that’s what you meant, but if you didn’t, you should figure out how to communicate more clearly. Might come in handy since you work in pr.

Oh, sorry, I, I wasn’t paying attention. Me neither. It’s all good. My mind’s been someplace else mostly on the fact that I, uh, didn’t get the c e o job. I’m sure you’ve heard I did. I also feel pretty stupid about bragging the way I did. You must be relieved. You don’t have to worry about reporting to me anymore.

Oh, as I told you, I didn’t foresee any problem with this working together. Yeah, and for what it’s worth, I’m sorry that you didn’t get the job. I know how much you wanted it. Thanks.

Hey, it’s not like Titan doesn’t need you anymore. I mean, with your experience and expertise, I’m sure that Maggie is psyched to have you to rely on. Well, unfortunately you’re wrong. Maggie couldn’t care less about what I think.

It’s no secret that I was not happy the way you treated Sarah, but I do know how much you love. And because I believe in giving people second chances, I’m sorry she didn’t give you one really, really . And now that you’re in a legitimate line of work, I very much wanna see you succeed. So yes, I will give you an interview.

Oh, come on, Zandy can’t still be pining over Sarah. Oh no, why not? He’s still madly in love with her. That is just your paranoia talking, and even if he is still enamored of Miss Snooty pants, honey, it won’t last long. Oh no. What did your crystal balls tell you? That I don’t need my crystal balls to tell me that when a person is out of sight, they are much more quickly out of mind.

Well, I don’t see it that way because although Sarah might be out of Salem, she’s still, she’s still very much in his heart. God, you should have seen his face. When I kissed him. He looked absolutely horrified. Oh, I’m such an idiot. Fear not . Before you know it, the man of your dreams is going to forget about the woman who got away and focus on the beautiful woman in front of him.

Okay?

Why do I have to take down the sign? Isn’t her? To hire help will cost you money you don’t have right now. Okay, but without Ali Mama, I’m drowning. I’m sorry, baby. You’re just gonna have to bite the bullet. Un until Bell falls us out. Then you can bring on whoever you want. Except I wanted to bring someone on right now because it may be too late by then.

She’s really great and she’ll probably find another job if I don’t bring her on immediately. What? What? What are you talking about? You have somebody in mind. Yeah, I do. And she’s the perfect candidate. Talia, I like you to meet my boss. Commissioner Hernandez. No, no. Please call me Rafe. Wow. I’ve heard a lot about you.

So what are you doing now? What brings you to town? Well, I miss my big sis. You know, it’s been forever, since we had our kickboxing brunch. kickboxing brunch. Yeah. First we box, and then we brunch. Ah. Mm-hmm. . Hey, listen. I wish you would’ve called and let me know you were coming. I mean, I would’ve booked as a class, made some restaurant reservations.

Well, I wanted to surprise you, and I can’t think of a better surprise than a visit from my little sister. Yeah, actually it’s more than a visit. I’m moving to Salem.

Excuse me ladies. So you’re moving here. I thought you were living with someone in New York. Yeah. Um, We broke up. Oh, I’m so sorry. I cried my eyes out for a couple days and then, you know, I decided enough. No more wallowing, you know, time for a fresh start here in Salem. Just like that. You don’t seem too happy about it.

No, no, no. Talia, I, I am, I am. It’s just that this is, this is a big change. I mean, have you, have you really thought this through? I mean, what’s it to think about? I want to get out of New York and be near you. I know, I know. But you need to earn a living. Find a place to live. I figured I’d crash with you. My place is pretty small and I’m sure we’ll figure it out.

What about a drop already on it?

Oh my Lord. , these are delicious. Told you Talia is the perfect candidate for Sweet Pits. Mm mm Well, I can see. Taste. Why you want to snap her up right now? Mm-hmm. like, well, just tell us. You’ll have to be patient, mama. Wow. You look, you run the most successful bakery in town now, and if she wants a job mm-hmm.

I’m sure she’ll understand.

I don’t, I don’t understand. Why would Maggie shut down? For a tax write off. You’re kidding. No, I’m not kidding. And I had big plans for that magazine. Well then don’t give up. Try to change her mind, Steph. I did. Well, not hard enough. Obviously, I didn’t say it would be easy, but it is possible. How do what we do in pr spin a negative into a.

Right now, Maggie sees Bella as a liability. Make her see it as an opportunity. A very lucrative one. Yeah, but like I said, Maggie doesn’t care about my opinion. , she doesn’t care about my goals. She’s the c e o Now she’s got her own goals. So that’s it. Everything you’ve worked so hard for, just goes.

It’s not what I want, Seth, but I, but nothing if you really care that much about Bella, fight for it.

That was terrific. Maggie, thank you so much. Um, I’m sorry but, um, I really don’t have time to give you more, but, uh, please, uh, talk to my assistant and, uh, she will schedule a longer interview. Will do. In the meantime, I’ll type this up and get it over to g. How, um, you know, what are, how are things going with you two?

Are you a couple again? No, I’m, no, I, well, you know, after Sarah and I split up, we did spend some quality time together, very delicately put, look, I’ve been very clear with Quinn that I’m not over Sarah, and I dunno if I ever will be. Maybe now that Sarah’s left hand, that’ll. I just dunno. And in the meantime it’s not fair to Lee G went on, is it?

Mm. No. Get me started. Okay. What she did to my daughter. I have very little sympathy for her, but you know, I do agree. You shouldn’t start a relationship when you still have feelings for someone else. Well, I should get going. Okay. Congrats again. Well, thank you. Of all the people, Victor’s putting that chair over the years.

You are the best choice here. Thanks.

I told Zander the same thing. He should just focus on the present. Well, trust me. As soon as he has that divorce decree in hand, he will have no choice but to accept that his marriage is over, assuming that the papers go through, considering the office twit lost the originals. Right. Did that seem a little suspicious to you?

Suspicious how maybe someone down there is a Zara Fan Z. Did you just give them a couple’s name then? Pretty soon it’s gonna be all about Guder. Gwenda. Oh my God. That’s dreadful. No Gwenda, no. Not good either. Sounds like something you used to mix me. A froze. Why don’t we just keep it at Gwen and Zander soon to be my favorite couple of all time madly in love making beautiful babies together.

You know, maybe it’s time for lady whistleblower to Sasha away down to the clerk’s office and sniff around. See if anybody’s poking their grubby little paw where they don’t belong. Yeah.

Madly in love making gorgeous babies together

shared your optimism.

Did TA leave? Uh, yeah, she went to follow up on a job opportunity. Oh, wow. Impressive. Well, that’s a pretty great surprise though, huh? Finding out your sister’s moving to town. That’s her specialty. Spontaneous decision making, huh? Well, sounds like you have some arrangements to make, so, uh, I’ll let you get to it.

Wait, we didn’t finish our conversation conversation. You and me. Uh, you know what? On on second thought I put you on the spot. That was way too pushy with me. Um, nevermind. Oh, and that’s same. So, uh, I gotta take it. So you need to grab some lunch.

Alright. All righty. All done. References and everything. Uh, Talia, there’s a. There’s something I have to tell you about the job, what

you’re hired. Yes. Yes.

Just sent you the press release for pulling a. Thanks. I’ll take a look.

I’m sorry. No, I’m sorry. I love my, my personal feelings get in the way of me doing my job. My promise you, I won’t, I won’t make that mistake again. I care about this company. I care about you. We have a good thing going, a great thing I think. I don’t wanna screw that up. Me neither.

So did you, um, speak to Maggie? We set up a proper interview for the Weekend magazine. She gave me some quotes we can use in the meantime. Wonderful. So, um, should we, uh, talk about tomorrow’s paper then? I was thinking you could talk about us.

I’m.

Hey, Uncle Vick, it’s me. I was wondering if we could have a little chat about Bella.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 The profit margin. Oh, Chan now baby, you’re making your mama so proud of you starting a business with nothing but some recipes and a cookie sheep. Now just look at what you’ve accomplished. Oh, oh. Why in the hell did the rest of her life have to blow up in the poor girl’s face?

Hey, Abe , I hate yourself. Hey, you know I, I stopped by the bakery earlier. You did. I, I didn’t see you. I couldn’t get in. The line was too, Now that’s what I would call a morning rush. You’re the morning rush. That turns into the lunch rush. That turns into the afternoon rush. Well, business is booming. Yeah, it is.

I usually don’t close until I run outta stuff to sell. Actually, today was a record. Well, guess I’m too late for my bearclaw. Yeah, you are too late for a bearclaw . But how do you feel about chocolate chip cookies? I thought you said you were clothes. Well, I always save a little something sweet for my special customers.

It’s like you

I feel like I’ve stumbled into a clan dust time meeting of co-conspirators. Uh, two Johnny. Okay. All right. No paranoid much. I just came to ask Wendy if she wanted to go to lunch with me. Oh, really? Where were you thinking of going? We hadn’t gotten that far yet because I didn’t hear you talking about the pub versus buddies burgers.

I heard you talking about my brother Stephan, and drugs and me.

I’m convinced that I love you. And I love you too. God, I have missed you and I, you. I’m sorry for all the ways I mistreated you. Oh, don’t apologize. It’s not your fault. Look, what matters is that we’re together now. Finally, finally,

what the hell’s going on?

Again, what the hell do you think you’re doing, Lee? What I am doing is I am kissing the woman I love. May I remind you that that woman is my wife? No, you really don’t need to do that because in no uncertain terms, Gabby just told me the same thing.

Sloan, is your attorney Sloan Peterson know of any other Sloan? Well, you told me too. Broke up and she was furious with you. She was. Then why did she take the case? We sort of. Sort of what is that supposed to mean? Exactly what it sounds like? Why would I give up the best sex of my life and why would he?

Isn’t that right, baby? Ah, Eric, I, I think your lawyer is a bit taken with you. I mean, she can’t seem to resist kissing you in a public place in front of your ex-wife. Wait, what? You don’t think it’s because I’m here? Do you? You don’t think she’s marking her territory? Do you sprain her scent like a feral cat?

A young feral cat. Hey, do you have an appointment? That’s right, Eric. I do my place tonight. Let yourself in. I might already be infant tramp. So am I gonna read about tonight’s mom in tomorrow’s spectator? I know she likes to make your sex life a matter of public record. I mean, Eric. Mm. It is so big of you to not feel, oh gosh, what’s the words I’m looking for?

Used or demeaned? I mean, it’s quite surpris. Actually, cuz Dignity used to be important to you. But she did run it by you, didn’t she? I mean, she didn’t just go to that little weasel, Leo Stark and Bray about the intimate details of your life without talking to you first. Did she? I mean, she didn’t act like a high school quarterback, regaling in locker room with stories of doing the dumb cheerleader bitch.

Oh, ooh, ooh. Careful counselor. I invented that move

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

You invented that when? When the earth was cooling. Oh. Oh dear. I’m sorry. Was that an insult? Like you drew blood by pointing out the fact that I’m older than you. Ooh, what a witty thing to say, Eric. Really? You couldn’t do better than this. Eric here. You’re right. I have an appointment

I’ll leave you with your memories of your days in the sun. Okay. Bye-Bye.

Did you enjoy that, Nicole?

No. No, Eric, I didn’t.

It didn’t look like she was telling you she was married. It looked like she was kissing you. Believe me, Lee, when I say that, that was a one-sided kiss. Really? Yes. You see, Gabby texted me. Meet her here to talk. And I was like, Baba Booie. This is the first day of the rest of our new life together. And then she got here and then she was like, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Stop the clock. And she told me about the, the grand gesture that you made to, to save your marriage. Right. It was a simple contract, basically you promising her your demaris shares in exchange for, for six months. And forced cohabitation. And I gotta tell you that that is one of the most romantic things I have ever heard in my life.

And despite that, I said to her, screw the contract, run away with me. You know, in the name of love. But she was adamant and determined to stick to the. And that’s when I mistakenly thought that the arter of my kiss could convince her to renig on her side of the agreement. And that’s when you showed up in the nick of time, as it were.

Oh, no, Lee, Lee, Lee, you had nothing to worry about because as much as I hate to admit it, as you can see, my words did not sway. A bit, Stephen. I don’t like to be jumped and I don’t like it when a man doesn’t listen. When I say no,

am I supposed to believe that because of the contract, you’re rejecting the man that you moved heaven and earth to get back. For me, a deal’s a deal. Okay? I signed that contract and I intend to abide by it. And, and listen to me. If you want me to extend at the end of six months, you better stop acting like a.

You’re saying I overreacted. I’m saying I’m abiding by the contract. And that’s all you can expect for now.

You’re right. You are holding up your end of the deal and it’s up to me to win you back. You know, leave for what it’s worth, dog. I mean bell you gotta do is maybe just kidnap her and brainwasher and then maybe chauffer. Forget all the crazy crap you pulled about abiding by the contract Gabby. In the spirit of openness, I want to tell you something that I just found out.

Something in the fine print and what’s that? Just a little cosal about what you can and cannot do over the next six months. Kind of like a morals clause.

Okay. All right. The, the, the thing is, after what we, you and I talked about this morning, I, uh, I did ask Wendy, you know, how she thought Stefan was doing, and I did. come here to take her to lunch. Uh, but then when I got here, she was installing some spyware on his computer, not on my own. Stefan knew I was going to, right?

Yes. Um, and, and anyway, that just got me thinking a little bit about Stephanie. And so I did, I, I, I, I, I told her that you were, you know, worried about him, about Stefan. Worried about him? Well, yeah, cuz of, you know, all he’s been through, just worried in general. Well, I wouldn’t worry about that. Great. Uh, so then you want to do, uh, the pub or, or, or buddies, burgers.

However, you should worry, both of you about lying to me.

I haven’t seen you much around home. Oh yeah, I’ve been pretty busy with the bakery. We’re shorthanded since, since Holly left. Since Holly left. Chanel.

I’m afraid I’m going to, I’m gonna put my foot. Go ahead, Abe, please just say, say what you’re thinking. You know, you don’t have to stay away because you feel you have to cover up your feelings around us, especially your mom. And we both know how jolly hurt you. I heard her too. Her hooking up with Alex was a nail in our coffin, but it all started when I couldn’t really let go of Johnny.

So you told Wendy about my concern that Stephanie is using drugs. Well, like I said, I’m worried about him too. I just asked Wendy, is she seen anything? Yeah, I swear Mr. Deir, I won’t tell anybody trying to, well, I hope not for Stefan’s sake. For the. Look Dad, you can trust Wendy. Okay? I promise. Well, I’ll have to, won’t I?

But on the other hand, having you in the loop on this matter might be something that works to my advantage. Your advantage in trying to help my brother a morals pause. It stipulates that if at any time during the six months we are still, wed you. Commit adultery. Our deal becomes null and void and those shares revert to me.

But lucky for us, you turn down your ex-husband.

How about this Nicole? New rule. Moving on. As they say, we need to keep from judging other people’s bad decisions.

You know, when we were together, I spent a lot of time thinking about what it would be like if Marlena was my mother. And you know, I thought it would be heaven. It was so, it must be hell dealing with losing her. Listen, I’ve spent the night in jail and I’m really exhausted. Okay? Listen, Eric, you, you cannot be with that woman.

She is bad for you. Give my best ej No wait. She is a terrible person. She came here purposely to destroy a young woman’s life. And I know, I know, I know, I know EJ did that and more. But look, I’m not a good person, so it it, it doesn’t matter if I’m with ej, but you, you mean with that woman. I, I just don’t know who you are anymore.

Eric. I mean, do you. It’s like you’re lost out at sea and she is the anchor.

Hi. Sorry I’m late. Busy morning. Well, I read in the papers the mess your brothers are in. I assume you were helping them out. Oh yes. Well, I was helping Brady out. I got him out on bail, but, left Eric there to fend for himself. Hmm. I can’t say that I blame you considering the way he defended Sloan Peterson trying to slew us into oblivion.

Oh, by the way, where do we stand on that? Ah, actually I checked in with the lead attorney at the firm that you hired for your case, and he said it’s been pretty quiet. Hmm. No news. Good news. Right. Um, while we’re on this subject, uh, I wanted to talk to you about my retainer. It seems like there was a.

Problem with the check that you gave me. What would that be? It bounced. What? Oh, that is not possible. Okay. Well, I got this alert on my phone, uh, from the bank. You know what, I’ll call the bank, find out what the hell, apple, oh, uh

oh. Hello? Uh, hello. Yeah, Regina. Yeah, this is Paul. No. No, I haven’t. I haven’t checked my messages yet up, but I was what? What do you mean? All of my assets were frozen? I don’t even know. I don’t know how that’s even possible. Hmm. I do.

What the hell are you doing? Again? I came here to answer all your questions about your assets being frozen and to give you this,

it’s a court order. From this day forward, you’re gonna need the court’s prior. For any and all expenditures. That’s my money. Not for long. It isn’t like I told you before, I’m gonna take you for every last cent.

So why you decided to set up an intervention? Prevent me from making bad decisions. I’m worried about you. Why? Why? Because I’m a good man and Sloan is a bad woman. She’s a Jezebel who’s trying to corrupt me. When have you decided to start passing judgment? She is the opposite of everything you believe in.

Don’t, no, do not tell me what I believe in. I’ve lived my entire life. Or some moral code. I know I was there. Yeah. Well, my mother, who is the greatest person that I have ever known, who is no longer on this earth anymore because of Orpheus and Kristen Amira, who aren’t worth the powder to blow them back to hell where they belong.

I don’t give a damn about right or wrong. Song, if she’s bad for me, makes bad decisions. You know what? The sex is really good, and that’s all that I really care about right now, and I can settle for that. Have we got it? Are we clear? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We’re clear. Okay. You have a new vocation now. You’re gonna be a shallow jerk and God only knows that you are the perfect person to show you the robes.

You know what? Have fun tonight. I’m sure I’ll read about it tomorrow.

You think it’s an advantage that I’m in the loop. I don’t say this often enough. For Johnny was right. You never say that. Actually, it’s a good idea to have someone who works with Steph and be aware that there might be a problem. You know? I don’t know. I don’t know. Maybe instead of spying on him, it could be a good idea to just talk to him directly.

Don’t ask him if he’s using perhaps down the line, but I don’t wanna take that step until we’re sure of our facts. I don’t want rumors in innuendo flying around the office, and I don’t want board members using it as ammunition against Stephan. I think we should keep what we know to ourselves. Because we all know that we only have Stephan’s best interest at heart.

Hey, are you all right? Fine. I would imagine he’s a little disappointed at the way his day is going. Did you find it clause 2.6 on marital duties? Yes, Lee, I found. I don’t mean to keep harping on it, but I think it’s only fair that you know the contract and everything that you signed so you don’t, you know, slip up.

I mean, it would be a travesty to lose all those shares and all that lovely power because that one can’t keep his hands off you and. With the stakes this high, even the appearance of infidelity could be disastrous to you. Well, thank you for looking out for me, for looking out for my best interests. I just don’t want there to be any misunderstandings down the road.

But like I said, you already told him to take a hike even before you knew the consequences, and I have to. This contract is turning out to be a capital idea, shall we?

We can’t have you hide in your assets claiming that you don’t have the means to pay the eight figure judgment that I’m gonna get whenever the jewelry comes back. Ruling that you and your tramp daughter are the reason for my mother’s wrongful death, right? So if Chanel is a tramp, then what’s your father?

A predator or just a sad academic cliche? Look at it. This. This is like a dress rehearsal for your life as a popper. You do know, counselor, that you and the judge are overreaching here. Don’t worry, Paul. I will file a motion and have this undone. I’m just delaying the inevitable. When this is done, I’m gonna have all of your houses, all your businesses, in every last crumb from your daughter’s baker.

You know, it’s been my experience that a marriage doesn’t survive when the man has been possessed by the devil. It can be hard to find closure. Tell me about it now. Now that alley’s out of the picture. We thinking about starting over with Johnny.

Actually, no. He’s moved on with Wendy Shin,

you know? Hmm. I think you and I have something in common. Yeah. The love of Ancho. We both have families where it’s impossible to know when or if someone is telling the truth. Do you think my dad’s lying? I truly don’t know, but I do have a strong feeling that he didn’t confide in us just because he is worried about his brother.

Are you implying that you think my father might have a hidden agenda? What is this about ej?

You were going to see Gabby, weren’t you? Surprised you back so soon. Don’t tell me there’s trouble in paradise.

You seem. Such insight. You just spelled out the term for the contract and put me on alert to stay away from Stephan, a fellow you needed to know. Oh, and thank you for that. Now I’m gonna tell you what you need to know. I will not put up with being stalked. I don’t follow. Oh, you literally did follow. How did you know where I was?

Were you tailing me? Did you have some guy do it for you? I think you’re being paired and I think you’re being insufferable. You asked for six months, you got six months. That means we live together, not that you own me. And yes, to be clear, we are still legally. But let’s, let’s remember that history teaches us that a vindictive wife can do a hell of a lot of damage to her husband’s financial holdings and the trajectory of his career.

So if I were you from now on, I would be very, very careful about how you treat me.

And Lee showed up all sorts of hilarity ensued. I’m sorry, Lee. Lee Shin Gabby’s husband, he’s worked with us for years. . Oh, I’m sorry. Uh, I’m kind of, I’m kind of overwhelmed by all these figures. Ah, those are the letters of credit. Uh, yeah. So, uh, how’d the phone call go? Any problem. I admit I got a little confused, but I handled it.

I no doubt that you did. I’m sorry that I ran out on you like that. Let me take a look at those. Maybe that’s a good idea.

I think I’ve figured out what’s wrong with me. I’ve been pushing myself with the gym lately and I think I might be a little dehydrated. Ah. Tell you what, why don’t I grab us something to drink. We can go over this together. Sounds like a clap. Thank you. More than welcome.

Well, I am going to go meet your mom. You wanna cut? Uh, actually no. I’m, I’m gonna stay here and finish my coffee and, uh, I’ll catch up with you later. Okay, good, good, good. I love you. Now I’ll do, and I love you

Damn it.

Can I help you? Uh, I hope so. Um, do you know the owner of the bakery? Um, let’s just say she and I are really close.

Oh, Johnny, you told Wendy about Stephanie, didn’t you? Yeah. But your father asked you not to it. It’s okay. Right? He, he knows all about it. He’s fine with it. What do you think your father’s keeping from you? I don’t know, but it, it feels a little weird. Okay. I, I have a hard time believing that Uncle Stephanie is using drugs, but you’re the one that found the vial in the office.

So what other explanation is there? Maybe whoever’s taking those drugs isn’t doing it. Volunt. What do you mean? What if one Demer brother is drugging? The other one?

I told Karen to hold out. Cole, would you mind getting that? Please? No

step.

Hello.

I guess it wasn’t important

shall get to work you.

Well disclosure, I didn’t follow you, nor did I hire someone to. I found out that you faked that call to Ariana School. I knew you were in the park because I tracked your phone. Jing one said that if I stooped to that, then I needed to let you go. And I think she’s right. I think we should end our marriage right now.

How could you not see this coming? You, you told Bell just this morning everything was quiet. Some Peterson freezing all of my assets that is not quiet. And you could imagine how much fun it was to hear it coming from her and, and not my lawyers who are charging me an arm and a leg on an hour when he faces us.

Well, you not anymore. You’re all fire. Well, uh, that might have been a little hasty. I don’t need them. I’ve got you. You do whatever it takes to stop Sloan Peterson and attracts.

So you are the owner? I am. You want a cookie? Uh, no. Actually what I want is a job You guys are hiring, right? That’s right. Um, you’re a baker. Mm-hmm. and a good one. Well, me too. Go ahead, have a cookie. I make the best damn chocolate chip cookies in the continental us. Uh, I don’t think so because I do. Mm-hmm.

actually, here have one.

You think your father is drugging? That’s ridiculous. What makes you so sure his sterling character? Stephan is his brother. He’s also his competition at Dera with dad. Business comes before family. Okay. Then what about the report from the investigator? Could have made it up? No, he didn’t have, because I was.

I was there when EJ saw the report and it said that Stephen’s fingerprints were on the vial. So if EJ bought the drugs, then how could Stephan’s fingerprints be on the vial?

This is good work. I spent so much time going over those numbers. My vision started to blow. I can see where that would happen. So did you find out what deal Gabby made with.

You mean I’ll take back my Demer shares and you’ll be free to be with Stephan after seeing him with you today. I, I now know that that’s what you really want, and I don’t wanna stand between you and your.

I am giving you the chance to walk away from our marriage, and

that woman is trying to clean me. And she will fight dirty to do it. You know, honey, I believe Bell has this bell. If it comes down to saving my money or protecting Chanel, throw me under the bus. Paul, I know. No, no, no. She’s my baby girl and she’s been through too much. I will do whatever it takes to protect.

No matter how much it costs,

you made this mm-hmm. . And if you like those, just wait until you taste my double chocolate Macarons. Mm. You used Madagascar bourbon vanilla extract. Baked them for eight minutes at 3 75. Wow. You really know your cookies, huh? Mm-hmm. . And I know a great baker when I meet one. So does that mean that I’m. I’m afraid not.

I’m confused. You just said I was a great baker. You are, but don’t need to fill out an application first.

Hi. Hi.

I thought I was supposed to meet you at your place. I couldn’t wait.

Yeah, you’re right. You’re right. If Fiff Stefan’s Prince are the ones on the vial, then the, the drugs must be his. I guess I just didn’t want to believe that he could be using. Look, we all wanna help. And the best thing to do is just trust EJ to do his best for him.

Well, she, uh, really made a case that this isn’t some big conspiracy, so I guess settles it unless Nicole’s in on it apparently. Gabby holds on to Lee’s voting block of Damara shares as long as she stays married to him for six months. Lot can happen in six months.

You can hear it all. What’s six months between captains of the universe? You too know I love you. Right back at you. Gabby can’t have your cake and eat it too. What’s it gonna be?

I made a deal and I intend to keep it. I see. But I, I do have a proposal. We’re listening. We’re in this for six months. Right? Let’s at least try to be. Social. I mean, I know it’s probably too late now to do most of the stuff that you have planned for today, the feeding, the ducks, the picnic, but maybe we could go to the Vango Exhibit

I’d like that very much.

That is true. A lot can happen in six months. Mm. And at the end of those six months, are you planning on aligning yourself with Gabby to aby as close to you? I love Gabby, but family comes first. I would never betray my own brother. I feel exactly the same way.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Brady. Hey. Hey, uh, Sean told me that Bella was representing you and that she got them to drop the charges. Yeah, I’m just out on veil. Oh, but you’re free for now. I’m glad.

Are you really?

You look pitiful. I’m fine. I, um, I questioned your sister today. What about Eric? I quar. And her response was, what about ’em? May I infer from that, that, uh, she declined to represent you? Infer away, God, I mean, your own sister bailing on you. You must just feel pretty desperate. Did you come down here to gloat?

See, it must seem like only a world class lawyer could get you out of this. The thing is, is. I happen to know where you can find one. Yeah, the internet, the world class lawyer.com. I like it when a man cracks jokes as he’s drowning,

tidying up. How domestic of you? I’m always tidy with evidence of a crime, especially when I’m in on it. You are not in on a crime. Stefan was trying to drug me. All we did was turn the tables on. And what did that Astra ever do to you? Uh, it’s a house plant in the Dira living room. Okay. It’s been doused with poisons and mine alling drugs since it was a seedling.

And it’s not an Astra. Well, I like saying Astra. Mm-hmm. , you know, I’ve been thinking about that unexpected call from Gabby. I’ve decided it is a stroke of good fortune. So we are drugging Stefan to make him seem unfit to serve as Damira, C E o. So Gaby is actually the perfect witness to his first little episode.

Yeah, I mean, he really was excited to see her with a kid on his first date, but, If that drug works the way we think it will, it might spoil the mood. Oh, come on. Catastrophic first dates a romantic staple, down the road. Both of those kids will look back on this and laugh.

are you sure you’re okay? Fine. I’m just a little dizzy. You have that effect on me.

Gabby’s not at Ari’s school. She lied to me. My wife lied to me.

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

Of course. I’m glad that you’re free. I just hope you don’t end up in prison for kidnapping. I’m pretty sure Bell’s gonna be able to get the charges dropped. Oh yeah, sure. Without a doubt. I mean, no big deal. Right. Just kidnapping someone and subjecting them to a Force D programming powered by small kitchen appliances.

Okay. Under the direction of a mad scientist slash escaped convict. I know, I know. . Right. You know, it’s not a big deal. It’s practically a prank. Uh, did I mention that this was all against Stephan’s? Will, I really tried to get him to go along with it, Chloe, and what part of No. Did you not understand? So you’re not happy with the way I went about things, huh?

No, I don’t think that happy would be a term I’d use right now. Okay. Well, let me tell you something right off the bat here. I would’ve. What I did and a lot worse to make sure that you and I found our way back to one another at the end of the day. Stefan is glad I did it. Gabby is glad. I’m glad. How about you?

Well, in your defense, you were just trying to undo what Kristen and Lee did. They’re the ones who played God with four people’s lives. Mm. Those four people’s lives are back where they started and they are happy about that. Yeah, we are back to where we started. Rachel still hates me. This is not exactly a happily ever after moment, but no, it’s different.

It’s different now. Kristen is not around to manipulate the situation anymore. She’s not gonna be whispering. Lies into my daughter’s fear about. It is all new. It’s a new start. And where do I start? What do I buy, Rachel? A pony. Well, you don’t, don’t do that. We can just take it slow. My father is bringing Rachel here for lunch, and I would love, I would love if you would join us, please.

Why would you wanna represent. Remember telling me to go to hell. Mm-hmm. , of course I do. And I remember why you could have lost me my license trying to spring ro from custody, but Ralph and Lee are free now. Alls while it ends well, well it only ended well because I’m such a damn good lawyer. I freed Lee and I can do the same for you if you’d let me.

If I had a white flag, I’d be waving it. Jing one. I’m sorry. I I I thought you had left. I, oh, so you just wanted to trash my apartment? Not causing me bodily harm. Are you hurt? Tell me you’re not hurt. No, I’m fine. See, I’m worried about whatever happened to my brother with ice water in his veins. Gabby, I found out she lied.

Hey, what did she lie about? She said she couldn’t spend the day with me because she had a mix up at Ariana’s school, and so I called the school and found out Gabby had made it all up, which I suspected. In fact, I knew she did, so I tracked her phone. You. No wonder she lies to you. You’re stalking her.

She’s my wife and right now she’s in the park and I know exactly who she’s with. You sure you’re okay? Yeah. Yeah. I’m fine. I am. I am very happy to be here with you and happy that we are finally back together. Yeah, it’s great. You don’t sound like you think it’s great. No, I mean, we’re, we’re together. We’re here sitting at the park together, but we’re not together.

Not the way we should be. Okay. Not to spoil the moment here, but whose fault is that, Lee? Everything is Lee’s fault. Not to spoil alone again, but Lee did not hitch over the head with his club take you back to his cave for six months. Luke chose to stay married to him to live with him.

You don’t love what? No, of course I don’t love him. How could I love somebody that’s said horrible things to you? To us? Okay then why’d you agree to his? Because he made me an offer I can refuse.

Well, whatever drug Stefan was going to give you doesn’t affect house plants. At least not immediately anyway, but it will work on him. Stefan wasn’t about to dose me with something that wasn’t going to. Which is something of a problem. How so? Well, as we discussed before, Stefan knows all about this drug and its effects, meaning he might start to get suspicious when he’s experiencing them.

Maybe he’ll think it’s Gabby’s perfume. I know. It gives me a headache. Oh, the lingering effects of Dr. Roll’s treatment.

Ej, you don’t think the drug. I don’t know too permanent damage. Steve, you? No, I don’t think he would risk that with me anymore than I would risk it with him. I’m just going to screw with his head until he makes enough mistakes to justify Stephan being booted it out there. Did I just hear you say you’re planning to boot Uncle Stephan from the company?

Brady, my joining you and Rachel for lunch today. I’m not sure. That’s a good idea. Fuck on it. It is a good idea. She just, Rachel just lost her mom. She, she lost her grandmother. I think it would be nice for, to have a, a woman to talk to, you know, to turn.

Hey. Hi sweetie. I missed you last night. I missed you too, daddy. Hi Rachel. My daddy was at jail last night. It’s all your fault.

So you’re offering to be my lawyer? Yeah. Don’t thank me or anything. No, I’m just trying to figure out why . I take it, you haven’t seen Lady Whistleblower’s latest column in The Spectator? No, my subscription, it ran out. So who is this lady? Whoever you said, it’s Leo Stark’s gossip column. Check it out.

According to my sources, the savvy Solicitor says she’s enjoying the best sex of her life. With a Defrock priest. What? Geez. I mean, I’m flattered, but Yeah. Well, she wasn’t that far off the mark. And yes, Eric, I am still furious with you, but maybe I admit I was a little hasty when I ended things so fast since I find myself missing all the fun we had together.

And I’m not talking about the good clean time either. Oh, come on Eric. I know you miss a deal, and if you do, I think we can work out a deal.

I’m not sure what you think. You heard, John, I think I heard you say that you wanted Stephan to make enough mistakes for you to be able to push him out of Dera. Is that what I heard him say? Well, the fact is your Uncle Stephan has made a. A serious one. Remember that vial of drugs you found at the Yahu and you thought was mine?

Yeah. It wasn’t. It was your Uncle Stephans.

So Lee gave you his Demari shares in exchange for six more months of marriage. That’s right. And you agreed I did. Uh, so it’s more like a, uh, limited partnership than, right. You negotiated the terms. So it’s, it’s kinda like a holding company, right? With a clear designation of duties and, uh, revenues. So really, it, it’s more like a, a, ah, what is it, short term merger than a marriage.

You wanna know if we’re having sex? Yeah. I wanna know if you’re having. No, it’s off the table. Not happening, wasn’t negotiated. Uh, Lee says he is doing this to show me how much he loves me, that he’s committed to me, and that really puts me in the driver’s seat. He can’t do anything to upset me at all.

Right. And I, I did this because I was feeling rejected by you. I really thought that you weren’t ever gonna be over. Chloe and Lee pointed out accurately that he could hold up this divorce for longer than six months, and I wouldn’t have the shares So, It, there just didn’t seem to be a downside at the time, but now there is.

And that is, are you kidding me too? I, I wanna be with you, so obviously I’m gonna tell Lee that he, he can take his six months and his shares and shove where the sun don’t shine.

Okay. So you beg for like six. To prove your love and devotion. And then on day two or something, you start stalking her. I can’t lose her. No, you don’t have her. You don’t own her. I don’t want to own her. I want to be her husband.

I know I did terrible things, but only because I love. I love her more than I knew I could love anyone.

Is that true? I swear it is.

I believe you. Thank you. No, don’t thank me yet, Lee, you forced me into the position of having to quote Occidental. If you left something, set it free, okay? Don’t buy a six month extension and then follow her on your G p s jerk.

You told Rachel when I was in jail? No, she read it in the Spectator Daddy. You let her read The Spectator? No, she was on her tablet. I thought she was playing cookie cutter. The paper also said weird things about Uncle Eric. Babe Fa baby. Listen that paper. Is, is, is, is a very nasty newspaper, okay? All they do is they print lies and the only reason they do that is so they can sell more papers.

Then were you in jail or not? Did you kidnap Uncle Stephan because of her? Was the paper lying about that?

I appreci. Your offer for professional services. And I admit I could use good attorney right now, but honestly I don’t have a job. So I don’t think I can afford you.

Maybe I could, um, take it out and trade.

So you’re saying the vial was Uncle Steffens that. And I took it to the lab and had it analyzed. Apparently it’s some sort of synthetic recreational drop and you’re sure you’re sure that it’s Steffens. His fingerprints were on it and it was found in an office that we shared, and I know it’s not mine.

Look, son, I’m. I’m sorry, but I’m really afraid that Stefan’s on drugs and it’s not surprising, considering everything he’s been through, and I know this is going to sound harsh and though I will do anything I can to help. My first duty is to make sure he doesn’t do any damage to the company my father’s legacy.

Johnny, I’m asking you to keep what I’ve told you to. I do have to investigate what Stefan’s been doing and has done, but there is a part of me that’s opened beyond hope that I’m wrong, son, I’m asking you to trust. Okay? For now,

do you think he bought it? You better pray that he does.

I don’t think I can just gi give up on Gabby. Of course you can, Lee. You have to. But I’ve never loved anyone like, like you love her. I get it and I believe it. I just told you that,

look, I hate that you’re in pain, but what you’re doing will only make things worse. So you have to think about this clearly and objectively. Okay? Do you really want a wife who’s in love with another man?

Did you hear what I just said? I told you I’m leaving Lee to be with you. Yeah, I did. Well, I thought that you’d be a little happy and made me even smile. No, Gabby, look, I Of course. I want you to leave Lee. I want us to be together. I’m also convinced that all of this will soon.

Uh, look, we belong together, right? But we’re not these star crossed. Do we hide lovers? We belong together because we get each other. We know what we want, and we want it on our terms. What terms are those? You and I running Dara together To that end. I was scared to even ask. I think you need to stay with Lee.

You got my mommy said to y’all and not my daddy. Hey Rachel, Rachel. Enough. It, it was not Chloe’s fault at all. And I don’t want you talking to people that way. Do you hear me? Why not? If it’s the truth, but it’s not the truth. Young lady. You might want it to be the truth, but it’s not. Now look, we know that you’re dealing with a lot right now and your daddy and I are trying to do everything we can to help you by letting you walk around saying things that aren’t true is bad for you, and we’re not gonna let that happen.

No. I know it’s very, very hard when a kid loses their mother. You know? Who else knows that Your daddy here. And sometimes it’s so hard that the kid gets really angry when they think someone’s trying to take the place of their mother. And you know, who else knows that

your daddy here.

Come with Poppy for a second. I want to tell you a story about your daddy. Just sit right up here. Here we go.

No, your daddy was just a little bit older than you. He and Grandma Marna, they didn’t get along very well. Ah, correction. I didn’t get along very well with grandma. That that was, that was all on me. I, that, that, that, that, that’s immaterial here. Here. The fact is you were having a very rough time and Rich, you know who understood that?

Do you know who was eventually able to get your daddy to see? She wasn’t there to try to replace his mommy or anybody else. All she wanted to do was love him. You know who that was? That was your grandma. That was Grandma Marlena. Because grandma always knew that people’s feelings could be so strong. He could hurt so much that sometimes they would think things that aren’t true.

Oh God. You know, I wish she were here right now because she, could she tell you this so much better than I ever could miss her? I wish she was here too. So do I,

I really, really wish she was here. You know, she, um, she wasn’t technically my mom, but. She loved me like she was, but she was Grandma. She’s not. I never loved her, and I want her gone.

Thank you for agreeing to the hearing, Ms. Tr.

Mr. Shin, what can I do you for the contract you drew up for me and Gabby? Yes. I’m having some second thoughts about it and I’d like to ask you a few questions.

Hey, you busy, uh, just installing some new software? Hmm. How you doing here? Well, I was going to see if you wanted to go grab some lunch with me if you don’t already have plans with your new roommate trips at work. Hmm. And uh, I was running a little late this morning. I just got here a little while ago, so I think I should maybe try to clock in more than 20 minutes before I head out.

Oh. You know, I actually have an in with your boss, so I think it’d be okay. My dad really likes you, by the way. Oh, yeah. Mm. . Well, I would like it to stay that way, so I’m hoping you kept my name out of it. When you asked him about the vial you found and, uh, we were both thinking you might have been using, he has no idea you knew anything.

I promise you haven’t, uh, seen anything else suspicious around here, have you? No. But if that file wasn’t your dad’s, I think we should probably try to figure out who it did belong. Yeah. Yeah. Right. You know, don’t you? Well, and you’re not gonna tell me I promised my dad that I wouldn’t. Okay. Why would he care?

Unless he shares this office with your uncle. Oh my God. It’s Steffens, isn’t it? Well, uj, you were very convincing. When you said, I will do anything to help my brother with his drug problem,

I know it’s scary. What a gifted liar you are. Hmm. I mean, so much coming from you.

You can say that again,

but don’t you think it’s a risk? And Johnny is really fond of his Uncle Stephan, right? Enough to keep an eye on him, help him with the result being he’ll see Stephan sad decline step by step and back me up when I make the case to throw the BA out of the mirror. The bastard sad climb that you orchestrated.

Well, you don’t want to be of anything up to Charles, do you?

Look Gabby, of course, I want you to leave Lee so that we can be together, but we need to think through this. Obviously I won’t you as my c E O. What about ej? Screw that guy. He knew what Lee was doing to me and he covered for him. But here’s the thing, getting EJ out of Damara, that’s one thing. Getting you installed in his seat, that’s, that’s another, and that requires board approval.

And if you leave Lee, he retains his vote and he would use his vote against me. Yeah. So that, that leaves EJ with his seven votes to our, let’s, excuse me, Jake, Kristen, Peter, Jake, Steven, you said Jake. Right. Uh, I’m sorry. How many, how many does that goes with? It’s five. Hey, are are you sure you’re okay? No, no, I’m fine.

I’m just feeling a little fuzzy. Thank you, wolf. The bottom line is we don’t have enough votes without le leases. Yeah. Even if I give Lee’s shares back, we have a tie. And the tie reverts the status quo. Unless, unless what? Unless. EJ becomes tragically incapacitated.

Did I hear you right? You wanna cancel the conflict with Gabby back out of the deal? That’s what I said. Why the hell would you do that? You’ve got her right where you want her. She has to live with you for six months. If she moves out, she loses her shares. If she cheats on you, she loses her shares. If she even Jay walks, she’s losing her shares.

Hold on, please repeat that. Oh, come on. You got the gist of it. You’re in the catbird seat here, Lee. No, repeat what you said about her cheating. Well, the contract doesn’t state it explicitly, but it’s clearly implied under clause 2.6 in marital duties. Oh my. You’re a genius. Thank you so much. I have to go.

Uh, please forget that I ever called.

Come on, dad. Is there any possibility that you could take her home? You don’t wanna go home? I’m, I’m sorry, Kate. You know, I would if I could, but I’m meeting with Steve and it’s pretty important. I’m sorry. Be Richie. Try to think about what Papa just said. Okay, honey,

you just tried to get rid of me. No, don’t. No. Sweet. I just thought it would be best if I talked to you separately and maybe to Chloe separately, but I would love if we could just have lunch. You know, why don’t we all go to lunch and we’ll talk my lunch? You invited her to my lunch with you. Okay. I’m just gonna go, no, Chloe, please don’t.

I’m not going anywhere. She’s going.

It’s done. That’s the fastest bill hearing in history. I work so magic. Wait here for the guard and you should be a free man and a Jiff. See you later. We’ll talk about my retainer.

Please don’t say anything to my dad. Of course I won’t, especially since I’m not even certain. I believe it. What do you. Okay. Your uncle was presumed dead for four years. Brainwashed the works. He finally gets what he wants. He’s c e o of the company, totally on top of his game at work. He’s not the one who’s screwing things up around here.

And what are you trying to say? Are you sure your dad was telling you the. That he’s not the one who’s using.

I’m a little nervous about what I’m gonna find at the office today. Brady doesn’t seem too focused. Uh, I would think given his business expertise, the office would’ve benefited from his incarceration. Well, I guess we’ll see.

Are you okay? I am. Ooh, I, I, I, I dunno. Hey, what’s, what’s going on? Good. You bought it. Oh. Stephanie needs to think that he is successfully in drugging you, so I need to behave accordingly. It is going to be a fun afternoon at the office.

So I’ve been drugging him, ej, that’s why he is been acting so weird. That’s how he tanked the stock price with his loose lips. Oh, any more incidents like that. And the board will remove him for. Oh, well, couldn’t have happened to a nicer five and that I lose his voting power unless, unless he assigns someone else’s Kate’s proxy.

Or pull some other stunt. All right. E. E. Either way, if we don’t get this done, it’ll be next to impossible to install you in his seat or even remove him from Dera permanently. Please. What are you saying? I’m saying that Lee’s shares are our insurance policy. That’s why you need to hold onto. And that’s why you need to stay married to Lee,

Eric. Hey, what I just read that you and Brady were in jail. Uh, yeah, my attorney just got me out on bail. Oh, well good for bell bell’s. Not my attorney slowness.

Why would you even say that to me? I mean, it’s not like my Uncle Stephan hasn’t been acting a little weird lately. Okay. Okay. Yes. His personal life is a mess because he was brainwashed. His work product has been amazing. If you were using people would. And your dad. On the other hand, I hate to say this, but people are starting to talk, so what you’re telling me is that my dad lied to me.

No, no he didn’t. I’m sure of it. Okay. He was genuinely worried about Stephan. I could tell. Okay. I’m sorry. I said anything didn’t mean to upset you.

Look, trust me. Okay. My dad is totally back to his normal self. I even overheard. Talking about having stepped and removed from his job. Now if, if he, if he was gonna do that, he, he obviously believes that he, you know what? I shouldn’t have said that. Um, I’m sure my dad probably doesn’t want that getting around.

Why not? If your uncle has a drug problem, then we’re removing him. Should be pretty straightforward. Of course, the first thing we should be doing is getting him help. Yeah, that’s what my dad said. My dad said that he wants. Stephan . You know what he said? He, he said he wanted to help Stephan while he was standing in the room with my no-nos portrait.

My no-no is a Nobel Prize winner for lying. What if my dad’s trying to groom me as his star witness against Stephan? I mean, what if my dad is the one drugging Steph?

You can understand, can’t you? This wasn’t exactly the response I thought you were gonna have when I told you I’m leaving my husband for, you thought you were gonna sweep me off my feet into a passionate kiss, but instead you came up with a brand new business model. I’ve let you down, haven’t I? No, actually I find it kind of exciting.

Yeah, we can hear it all. You and I, what’s six months between captains of the universe? You do know I love you. Right, right back at you.

It’s okay, Brady. I’m gonna go No, no. Hey, please, please, please don’t go. Don’t. I don’t want her to think that she can get away acting like this. She has been through too much, way too much lately. It’s important that she feels and that she knows that she comes first. You work all that she has, right?

Uh, Sloane is your lawyer, Sloane Peterson. Do you know of any other Sloan? Well, you told me you two broke up and that she was furious with you. She was. Okay. Then why did she take your case? We made up. What is that? So close to me exactly what it sounds like. Why would I give up the best sex of my life and why would he write, sweetheart?

Um, what are you doing here and what are you two co-conspirators up to this time?

You convinced, I love you now and I love you. God, I missed you so much and I you, I’m so sorry for how I treated you. No, don’t apologize. It’s not your fault. What matters is that we’re together now. Finally, finally,

what the hell’s going on here?

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

What is with all the clinging here? Oh, sleeping Beauty has finally awakened after a terrible night’s sleep. Oh, sorry about the noise. I, I was looking for the proper pan and a couple fell on the floor. Is that what woke you? Me and have a Salem? I. Where is everybody? Uh, chip and Wendy left for work. That’s what woke me up.

Uh, lots of loud shit chat out here, but how can I complain when the love of my life and I are under the same roof and on our first morning together? On the road to our future wedding bliss. I made breakfast. Your fave, qui you, you made Yeah, of course. Please take a seat. Ah, hard pass. I’m not hungry.

Someone is still upset that Stefan no longer loves Chloe.

Chloe. Hey, it’s good to see you, Sean. Hi. Good to see you too. When did you get back? Yesterday and, oh boy. If you missed one day in this town, We miss a lot.

Brothers Grim indeed.

Fine mess. You two have gotten yourselves into.

Oh, good to see somebody else’s family drag through the town square for a change. change of pays for sure. Mm. Brady and Eric being arrested for what they did to my brother as old news. What I’m more concerned about is what you and I are going to do to him. So why don’t you put that down so we can focus on the task at hand.

Absolutely. . And just so you know, I am still totally committed to helping you give your two-face distant brother a taste of his own medicine. It will indeed be satisfying. Yes. Once you and I are through with him, not only will he have reaped what he sow, but the one who will be deemed on fit to serve as co c e o will be staff.

Someone say my name.

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

Ms. Peterson, shouldn’t you be out chasing an ambulance? ? Oh, I think I hear one now. Off you go. Huh? Oh, that’s funny. I, I don’t hear anything. You must be picking up a distant dog whistle. What do you want, Sloane? I don’t have time right now for whatever dirt bag you’re representing. Right. And let’s be honest, whoever it is, if you are representing them, then they’re undoubtedly guilty.

No. Well, thank you for the vote of confidence, but I’m not here on business. This is personal. I came here to make sure that you throw the book at Eric Brady

well after your recent fall from Grace. So I’m not at all surprised to see my holier than thou brother get arrested again. But you, Brady, I did not see this one coming. Did you even think about Rachel? I mean, she already has one parent in prison. What’s she gonna do if she loses you too? Bell, bell, bell.

Come on. Stop. Stop with the haranging. All right. Just, are you gonna help us get outta here or not? Uh, no. I’m not gonna stop with the haranging. What the hell were you thinking? Kidnapping Stephan Damira and holding him against his will is a class one felony. If you two are convicted, you’re facing serious prison.

So please tell me why you would do something so crazy and stupid. Be Stephan didn’t gimme a choice.

Good morning brother. And Nicole and I were just talking about you. Ah, all good things. I hope. We were discussing the egregious crimes perpetrated by the brothers Grim. We are both outraged and concerned about what happened. You suffering through such a torturous or. Yeah. You poor guy. I, I can’t imagine what it must have been like to have someone messing with your head like that.

Ralph didn’t drug you, did he? No, no, no drugs. Just a good old fashioned crude, forced reconditioning. Oh, and while I do appreciate your concern and outrage, as much as I hate to admit it, I think they did me a favor. Is that so? It is. At least now I know where my heart lies. I love Gabby and only Gabby . Why would I be upset that Stephan doesn’t love Chloe anymore?

You know? Damn well that’s exactly what I wanted. Sub. Now I’m in this miserable situation with you for six damn months. It already feels like eternity.

I am now two So try to.

Your accent sucks. It means living present, right? That means stop with your lousy Spanish. Okay? And here I thought it was endearing. Am I trying to speak to you in your language? I am bilingual, which means Spanish and English are main languages. And if you think that speaking to me in butchered Spanish is endearing, it’s not.

It’s condescending and it hurts my ears not. And Lee, just because I agreed to live with you Debbie, I understand my position. My chances of winning you back are zero slim. Now that step is no longer pining over Chloe. I want you to know Mia. . Sorry. But I want you to know that I’m undeterred I, I gave you my Demer shares as a symbol of my commitment to you, and I’m gonna take these six months that we’ve agreed upon to show you that.

Though you’re fighting it right now, you will soon realize I am the man you belong with. I love.

So now you’re completely over Chloe. Yes, I am. I, it didn’t happen all at once. I had to see Chloe in order to realize that my feelings had changed. All right. When Rafe finally released me from Eric and Brady’s clutches, I went to go see Chloe and Rolf was success. It’s like I told Chloe, it’s, it’s as if the feelings I had for her were never even there in the first place.

How kind of you to let her down gently? No, no, no. See, she was the one letting me down gently because as she was expressing her feelings to me about how she could never love a man who was in love with two different women, I looked at her. It was as if all the. That I ever felt for her was gone.

Well, uh, that’s good news, right? I mean, especially for Brady. I know he could use that right now. So that’s why you missed cocktail hour yesterday. We were waiting for you. My apologies. Oh, please. And I’m required, we’ll have plenty of opportunities to raise your glass together. I look forward to it. As do I.

So amay right to assume that this means you will soon be reunited with Gavin. Are you asking me as my brother concerned about my love life or a COCE of Damara Enterprises concerned about his standings within the. I’ll admit to the former and not deny the matter. And yes, it is my fervent wish to be reunited with the woman I love.

Hulton. What are you doing here? Uh, well I’m here with my brother and his friend because for some damn reason Gabby made a commitment to stay with her husband, bonk. Sorry, does my French also hurt your ears? Everything you say hurts my ears. You sure this isn’t S delivery? Come on. You know Mercedes doesn’t make their tortillas from scratch.

Go ahead, try them.

Okay. I guess just, okay. Okay. What do you want a medal for? Not screwing up a recipe. Cavi. Um, I’m not asking you to pretend to like me. This arrangement we have, I, I I want you to be yourself authentic. Aw. Thank you for giving me permission. I didn’t mean it that way.

I know that you’re always authentic and though I know I deceived you in the past, uh, I, I’m determined to be honest from now on and to be. So let’s just, you know, give it a try. Okay. Would you, would you like some more hot sauce? Sure. Why not?

If one thing’s painfully clear, I have the devil Rose dev rows no longer run the spectator. Mm-hmm. . Yeah. Gwen Zander may have used this as a hit job, but the thing is they’re not wrong. Oh my God. What Brady and Eric did to Stephan, no wonder they’re in serious trouble. Yeah. Well, I mean, there is one sliver of hope in all this.

I was on the case.

Oh. Oh, you had no. Right. You had no choice but to pull an insanely stupid and risky stunt because you couldn’t, I don’t know, use your head. Stephan was never willingly gonna let Ralf deprogram him. So, uh, I had to force things a little bit. Yeah. Okay. That’s not an excuse Brady. That’s a confession. He was terrorizing Chloe.

Okay. Remember Chloe? You’re good friend. You know who she is? I know who is terrorizing her. Okay. What do you mean by he was terrorizing her? By his, by his, by his obsession bell. Yeah. His all-consuming love for Chloe. And the only reason he felt it was because that lunatic Rolf messed with his brain. You understand?

Hey, it was borderline stalking. That’s what it was. She had to leave town just to get away from him to have a little bit of space. You understand why I had to step in and do something, right? Okay. Yes, I understand your motivation. Okay, but you understand we have no case here. Even if I could prove that Stefan was a threat, which is doubtful, your actions were a bit extreme and completely indef defenses.

And what about you, bro? What’s your excuse?

I am surprised that you have it in for Eric Brady. Did junior paralegal have a falling out? For the record? Eric Brady was never my employee. Never once did he provide professional services for me. And what kind of services did he provide? Ms. Peterson, he stole legal documents from me. That’s what kind of service he provided.

He snuck into my briefcase without my permiss. Stole some documents and used them to perpetrate a fraud. All without my knowledge, he caused irreparable damage to my reputation, which was spotless until now, of course, you being so moral and ethical, the only thing I’m concerned about right now is are you gonna do your job or not?

Are you gonna prosecute this offender to the full extent of the law or just love snide comments at me and then collect your paycheck? How about all of the above? I am a multihyphenate. After all. I can think of one or two other things that you are. I do have one question for you, Sloan, before you go. Um, if I put Eric in three hots and a cot, who’s gonna make you hot in your cut?

My excuse is helping Brady do what needed to be done. Right? Yeah. I guess the family loyalty runs deep when it comes to your brother, but when it comes to your sister as just another story, right? Are you seriously gonna make this about yourself? You made this about me when you assaulted my husband. And then questioned my professional judgment for defending Paul and Chanel against your malicious girlfriend’s.

Frivolous lawsuits. Yeah. Well, not that that’s relevant, frankly, none of your business, but still not my girlfriend. Whatever we are, we aren’t anymore. Hmm. Is that because you took my advice and dumped that bitch, or is it because she cast you? When she, when she realized your idiotic decision to pose as her paralegal and misrepresent yourself to someone in police custody, , which to state the obvious, did real damage to any case they had against Lee Shin, which means that Da Trask now wants your head on a pike outside of the courthouse, and I am inclined to give it to her.

So, Now that we’ve had breakfast, I’ll share with you the plans I’ve made for the day. Okay? I, I’m gonna stop you right there. See, as I no longer have the responsibilities of gainful employment and my daughter is on the other side of the world, my plans for the day are to crawl back into bed and sleep the next six months away.

Gabby, come on. It’s a beautiful day outside today. Unseasonably warm for this time of year, so I thought we. drive to the lake with the baby ducks. I remember the photos you showed me of Ari feeding them that sweet smile on her face, and Ari told me that you love those ducks even more than she did, that she had to drag you away from them.

Was she making that up? No. Why would she make that up? Well, your secret’s safe with me. And then after that, after we feed the duck, . How about a picnic on a paddle boat? A and then in the afternoon I got tickets to the immersive van go exhibit at the museum. Oh, oh boy. You should have made a lot of plans without consulting me.

Well, here’s what, here’s what, here’s what I think about that. I’d rather cut my own ear off. Then go to that ve go exhibit with you or go with you anywhere for that matter. Thank you very much for the chilaquiles, but excuse me, because I have a date with some pillows. Come on. I’m really trying here. Okay.

And, and, and look, I know I did some horrible things that, that hurt you very badly. But I also know that under all that hurt, somewhere in that big heart of yours, there’s rooms or forgiveness. So you please give me a chance to help you find it.

I can’t believe Gabby stayed with Lee after everything he did to her and to you. Right? I, I don’t know any of the details, but, uh, apparently Gabby made a deal with him with paperwork involved. What sort of deal? What did she say? I don’t know. I didn’t have a chance to ask. Lee kicked me out of there before I could even say anything.

Shut the door in my face. Well, rest assured brother, whatever Devils pack, the two of them are made. You have the full support of the Mirror Enterprises and your family in that. Why don’t we discuss this over a cup of coffee? That’s an excellent idea. Please allow me.

Okay, here we are. Cold cream and sugar. Oh, you remembered. That was in the details. Ej, I know you like yours. Like I like mine black. Thank you, brother. Mm. Oh my goodness. I think this cream is bad. It’s like a bit sour. Oh, I know. I hate to see you get sick on my right. It’s a good thing I noticed. And don’t drink anymore

Good thing.

All right, here we go. Thank you. That a taste, huh? Perfect. Thanks. Two. To married enterprises, huh? And to you.

Fine. It’s fine. I will go feed the baby ducks with you, but only because it’s gonna cheer me up. What about the picnic? The museum? Okay. Yes. Fine. All that might cheer me up too, in spite of the company. But you have to promise. Not to try to hold my hand, not to whisper, sweeten. Nothings in my ear. No Spanish or French.

No war even pig, Latin. You got it. And no rocking the boat. You hear me literally or figuratively during the picnic? I’d get seasick on those things. All right, first mate. No, no nautical talk either please. I sure think Captain. Uh, sorry. Yeah. Okay. You got it. Hey, it’s day one of Gab. The beginning of something special.

I’m just so happy to be spending the day with you no matter what the rules.

Okay, we’ll, uh, why don’t I go take a shower and get ready and then we’ll meet back here and start our day together. No rush.

And how exactly is my private life relevant here at M D A? We’re not in a courtroom, Sloan. I’m just trying to break that cold, thick ice between us with a little office gossip. Well, that’s not how gossip works, Melinda. See, we have to talk about someone while they’re not here behind their back. Oh. My bad.

And who told you anyway about Eric and I? Lady Whistleblower. Who else? Lady Who? Uh, lady Whistleblower. Where have you been? She’s only the newest, hottest gossip columnist. Don’t you read the Spectator? Hmm. And how exactly does Lady Whistleblower know so much about my private? Oh, you maybe know her by her real name or one of them.

Leo Stark, I believe he was one of your former clients. The lady went into excruciating detail. According to her, Eric was the best sex of your life. He did things to you that I have never even heard of. Give me that.

My God.

Bill told me that she’s, uh, she’s headed down to the police station to see if she can help. Yeah. If anyone can get those two out of this mess, it’s bell. Yeah. Well, I do know that she’s committed to helping Brady out as much as she can, but I’m not so sure if she feels the same way about her other brother.

Oh no, you’re saying Bell isn’t gonna take Eric’s case.

Fear you. I know. I’ve made my shared. And as of recently, I know that we’ve been at aunts. I just wanna say that I really appreciate you coming down here to help me. I’m really glad that given my recent transgressions, I can still count on my little sister. Are you serious? Yes. You think that even given your recent transgressions, that I would come down here and bail your As.

There is no way I am taking your case. What Bill? Come on. No, you come on. You blew up every bridge between us and now that you’re a sleazy girlfriend or whatever you wanna call her, said bye-bye. You have the nerve to come to me and ask me to represent you when all you’ve done is disparage my work and refuse to listen to reason.

Won. You have done his rake, Brady and I over the coals because you were so superior. Oh, well screw that. If you didn’t come down here to represent Brady or I, then why the hell are you even here? Oh, I never said I wasn’t gonna represent Brady, but you, Eric are on your own.

You know, you’re a real smug, arrogant, judgmental, thinking that you’re so smart and all because you got a lot of G gritty. Eric, come on. Oh, no, no, no. I remember correctly. You failed the bar like three times. Did you know that? I mean, it’s correct. That mom was like, oh, more poor little bell. All right. It’s good for you.

Put your damn mouth right now. Yeah. Well, he doesn’t know what’s good for. It’s clear he is hit the floor after his long fall from Graces. No Bell. Listen, listen. He, he, he did all this for me, all right. To help me out. So look, look, I know he’s been a horse’s ass lately. What the hell? No, he’s been the king of the horse’s asses lately since he broke up with Nicole.

This has nothing to do with Nicole. Objection. Overruled. Listen, I got him into this mess bell. Please him. I need your help to get him out of it.

Well, that’s very moving, heartwarming. Brothers sticking up for each other. And yes, it is very clear to me that Eric was only an accessory to your crimes to Brady. And I am sure whoever represents Eric will make that argument in court. But as I said before, and I have not changed my mind, I will not be taking his case.

What would Mom say if she knew you turned your back on me? Don’t dare. Don’t you dare, dare. No, don’t you. You can’t leave me in here Bell watch me guard. I’m taking Brady Black to court for his arraignment.

Yeah, bell offered her legal services to Eric and uh, he went out of his way to refuse. I mean, he didn’t even take her advice. So in other words, he’s been a world-class director. Hmm. That’s kind of shocking, isn’t it? I mean, after his breakup with Nicole, I feel like he’s just gone off the deep end, like he’s turned to the dark side or something.

Yep. How the holy have fallen. And from what I understand, his breakup with Nicole was his doing. Yeah, apparently. Yeah. Well, he might have been without sin when he cast stones at her, but I think he’s more than made up for us since then. Aj. I know I’m supposed to be on that call with the bank this morning, but, uh, I think you should handle this one on your own.

Oh, I, I don’t know. Stephanie, do you really wanna take that chance? Especially since the powers of be all deeply concerned, obviously with the recent calamus decline in our stock, which was precipitated by my slip of the tongue, my, my laps and judgment, all the more reason for you to fly solo on this one, give you a chance to redeem yourself, prove to them you’re at the top of your game, su their jitters, so to speak.

Right? That is, if you feel up to it, oh, I, I’m, I’m feeling quite fine. S Stephan, thank. But still, I think it’s best that we both take the call, fly in town, demonstrate to them that we are a team with unwavering unity of vision and purposes, co CEOs. So shall I guide us in?

Yes. I, I understand. Yeah, no problem. I’ll, I’ll be right there. Okay.

Um, I’m, I’m really sorry. It was Ari’s school. Really? Uh, I thought you said you took Arian outta school to go to New Zealand with Will and Sunny. I did. I did that, but, um, will and Sunny need her records to enroll her in this new school. We’ve been having some problems. Transferring them are not something with the vaccinations.

Oh, I see. And I don’t know how long this is gonna take. I really need to get there though. Yeah, yeah. But I mean, no problem. We have plenty of time for ducks another day, but I’ll go with you to Ari’s school. I mean That’s okay. I’ll figure out the mix up. That’s fine. I, I can do that. It’s okay. You sure? Yes, I’m sure.

Hey, look, I know that you’re worried about Brady, but I’m confident that Bell’s gonna get him out on bail, and when she does, can the two of you just, uh, I don’t start again? I’m not sure that’s possible now. But I heard that Brady and Eric, they were, they were successful getting Roe to Deprogram stuff. And although it wasn’t in the most productive way, but I mean, it happened.

So doesn’t that mean that Stephan’s no longer in love with you? That’s right. And how do you feel about that?

I mean, it’s, it’s fine. I mean, honestly, I, his feelings for me to begin with were overly intense. And since I knew that they didn’t come naturally, if you will, I never wholeheartedly believed in his love for me. But, um, Stephan not loving me is not the greatest obstacle that Brady and I are facing. No. Well, what was, or should I say what is.

That’s Rachel Brady’s daughter. She hates me and he’s convinced that we can move past it, but I’m not so sure that we can.

I could not believe that little weasel loved this . You could sue Lady Stark and the paper for libel, unless, of course it’s true. Was Eric the best sex of your life? Ah, what have you Here I am representing my brother Brady Black. And what about Eric? What about Eric? Uh, can I have a word in private? Can this waits counselor will be in the courtroom soon enough?

Uh, listen, I just wanted to let you know that I am requesting reasonable bail for Brady, and before you interject, he’s not a flight risk and he is not a threat to the community. I think s Steph and Damir would beg to differ with that last. Oh, come on. We both know why Brady did what he did, and the circumstances have changed.

Now the motive doesn’t apply. So please, I’m, I’m just hoping you’re not gonna oppose this release, and I did notice that your complaint doesn’t include a victim statement. Is there a reason you haven’t interviewed Stephanie? Well, I, I, yeah. I mean, I’m just guessing in hindsight that maybe the victim isn’t as upset as you think he is about what my client did

shall get this show on the road as they say. Yes, I agree with. A united front while also exhibiting our individual talents. And together we and Damara at large can help soo the markets. Your confidence in me, Stephanie? It, it means the well to me, especially after my little mishap. Hmm. Well, you can’t trust your own brother.

Gabby, we’re about to, uh, and quiet. Let me go first. Okay. I need to see you right now. I’m in the park office square. How soon can you get here? Uh, I’ll be right there. Okay. Good Hurry. That was Gabby Swear. Heard this room? Yes. Look, normally, you know, I would never put my personal life in front of business affairs, but given the.

Disastrous conditions of my personal life these days. I’m sure you, uh, sure you understand. Well, actually, I, I know you will represent the family well.

Oh, hey you. How’d the arraignment go? Well, I made the case to get Brady out on bail. And did the judge agree? Is Brady out?

There’s a seat taken.

Yes. Thank you. Hello, this is Le in Arian Horton’s stepfather. Right. I was trying to see if there’s anything I can do to expedite the transfer of her records. I heard there was a, oh, I see. No, no, no. Well, good then. I’m glad Will Horton was able. Settle all that before they went to New Zealand. No, I’m sorry for the confusion.

I must have misunderstood my wife. That’s all that’s. Yes, thank you, and you too.

I must have misunderstood my wife more like my wife looked her husband dead in the eye and lied to his face.

Where are you?

Wow. Looks like somebody’s in need of a good lawyer.

Best sex of her life. Ugh. New.

Well, the bank’s been dealt with. There were innumerable details to go over. Mm-hmm. offered the perfect opportunity for Stephan to stumble and appear on fifth. We only gave him his first dose. Mm. And as long as he believes he’s drugging me. You’ll never suspect the next one or the next one, and so on.

Perfect plan. Mm-hmm. , and it’s only a matter of time before the inevitable happens. He’ll slip up and the ball will have no choice but to kick him out on his ass. And I’ll be left on top and Stephan will be old news. Ooh, yes. Mm-hmm. . Yes.

I’m so glad you came.

Stephanie, are you okay? Is everything alright?
