Brady went to Sloan’s place to ask her some questions. Eric ended up answering the door. Brady questions him about being there after the funeral. Brady told Sloan that she needed to get Rolf to sign the statement saying Li was guilty. He said he needed Rolf out of jail to finish deprogramming Stefan so Chloe could come home. Sloan said Trask had ulterior motives, so it was in Rolf’s best interest not to sign the statement. Li called her. She said she had to leave. Brady said she had to leave because of Li. Brady decided to look through her things. Eric tried to stop him, but it didn’t work. Brady found Rolf’s statement. He said it proved she was working for Li. He asked Eric if he was going to help him divide and conquer. Sloan went to see Li. He told her to get started on stopping his divorce. He said he wanted to ask her something else. Stefan yelled at EJ for telling a reporter about a deal. EJ said he didn’t know what he was thinking. Stefan thought about drugging EJ’s drink. He told EJ he wasn’t upset, but they had to fix it. He said they could move forward as brothers in leadership. EJ was thankful for his support. When EJ left, Stefan said after a few more doses of the drug, he would be out. He started to put drugs in EJ’s coffee when Jada showed up. She told him that the police were building a case against Gabi and Rolf for deprogramming him. She asked if he wanted to testify. He said he couldn’t do that because he loved Gabi. He said he had mixed feelings about Rolf so he would think about it.

Nicole ran into Johnny at the DiMera mansion. He told her the company’s stock plummeted because EJ leaked out information. They were surprised EJ would do something like that. She said he wasn’t feeling well the night before. Johnny said he might not have gotten enough sleep. He said he saw her coming out of his father’s room. She said she and EJ have become closer. She asked him about his date with Wendy. He said they had a good date, but things were complicated. EJ came in and said he was going to go upstairs and forget that day happened. Nicole went to talk to EJ. He told her he was distracted lately. She told him to forgive himself. She said he was good at raising stocks. She said there were two things he was good at after last night. They said they were glad last night happened. She said she would be glad if it happened again. Gabi went to see Rafe. She wanted to know what was going on with Rolf. Rafe told her he still didn’t sign the statement. He changed the subject to ask about her Valentine’s Day with Stefan. She told him what happened. He was upset about what Stefan did to her. She said she knew Li hurt her, but he would never call her another woman’s name. She said Li wanted her and no one else. Rafe reminded her of the things he was willing to do to keep her. He said he knew she was hurting, but she couldn’t go back to Li. She said she didn’t want to spend the day alone the way he did. He said he was with Jada. She wanted to know what happened. He told her what happened. He said Jada was a friend and colleague and that was it. Gabi asked if he was sure about that. He said he was Jada’s boss. Gabi said they were consenting adults. Gabi left when Jada showed up. Jada told Rafe that Stefan was thinking about testifying against Rolf. He told her he was worried about Gabi going back to Li. She was about to leave to put the case together when he offered to help her with it. Eric showed up and wanted to see Rolf. Gabi went to see Li. He let her know that he was signing his DiMera shares over to her. He said they were worth a fortune, and she would be able to vote on future things. She asked him why he was doing that for her. He said to show her how much he loved her. She was happy about it but wanted to know the catch.

Recap written by Michele and Cheryl

Chanel went to the apartment to return the key to Allie when she noticed her suitcases. She wondered if Allie was leaving. She told Chanel that she was going to New Zealand with Will and Sonny. Chanel wondered why she was leaving. She knew that she wouldn’t forgive her and that she wouldn’t want to work with her anymore. She knew she messed things up and thought it was better that she left town. Chanel let her know that they weren’t going to be together, but she still cared about her. She gave Allie her blessing to go. They saw an old picture of them together. They thought about the good times they had together. Roman went to see Lucas at the prison. He told him that Kate told him not to kill Orpheus. Lucas thought he was drunk. Roman assured him that he was sober. He said that Kate convinced him not to do something that he would regret. Lucas said that even if that were true John and Steve weren’t answering their phones so they couldn’t get in touch with them. Roman suggested that he pretend to get drunk again, but he said he was cleared of drinking. Orpheus told John and Steve that he could tell them who stole the orchid. He said the person is more guilty than he is. John was interested in the information, but Steve said they had to kill him.

Nick was ready to take Marlena, Kate and Kayla to Hell. Kate threw a vase at him. She insisted that they were going to stay and fight him. Marlena said they didn’t have weapons so Kate gave them pieces of the vase. Nick made the pieces disappear from their hands. He was about to send the ladies to Hell when he was stopped. Jake showed up and stopped him. Kate was shocked that Jake was in the good place. He explained that it was decided that his good deeds outweighed his bad deeds. Jake told them that Nick cheated and he wasn’t talking about the contracts. Nick wanted to know why he cared so much. Jake reminded him that he came back from the dead and tried to kill him. Nick winked at Marlena and said he wasn’t working alone. Jake wasn’t concerned about that. Jake announced that the women weren’t really dead. John let Orpheus know that if they were going to spare his life, they would need proof. Steve still wanted to kill him. Orpheus warned him that they wouldn’t know who else was involved if they killed him. Steve was able to live with that. He prepared to put the syringe in Orpheus’ arm. Roman showed up and tried to stop him. He told them about Kate’s warning about killing Orpheus. John told him that Orpheus knew who stole the orchid.

Update written by Joseph

At the prison, Lucas questions Roman wanting to scrap the plan to kill Orpheus. Lucas reminds Roman that it was his idea and questions why he’s backing out now. Roman responds that Kate told him that he had to call it off which Lucas questions. Roman insists that Kate spoke to him, then clarifies that her urn did.

Anna remains at the Brady Pub with Kate’s urn. Anna asks if Kate only graces Roman with her wisdom and if she doesn’t have any sage advice for her. Anna tries shaking the urn like a magic eight ball. Anna asks the urn if she will get everything she wants for her birthday this year. Anna then guesses it only works for the widower. Anna asks Kate to continue watching over Roman and to let him get to prison in time. Paulina then enters and questions him getting there in time for what.

John questions Orpheus offering to tell he and Steve who is really responsible for the deaths of their wives. Steve calls him a liar and says he’s just trying to delay the inevitable. Orpheus questions Steve’s hurry. Steve responds that he killed his wife, so the sooner he sends him to Hell, the better. Orpheus asks if he’s not curious about if he’s not lying. Orpheus warns that once he’s gone, they’ll never find out who is really to blame for this…

Nick tells Kate, Kayla, and Marlena that it’s time to go to Hell. Nick calls them fools for turning down the get out of Hell free card. Kayla responds that they are sticking together, so it’s all of them or none of them. Nick plans to escort them to Hell but Kate says over her dead body.

Chanel shows up at Allie’s door and says she came to return her key and get the last of her things. Chanel comes in and sees bags packed, so she asks if Allie already packed her stuff up. Allie then reveals that is her stuff, because she is moving to New Zealand.

Anna greets Paulina and comments on the funerals of Kate, Kayla, and Marlena. Paulina calls it a terrible loss of three wonderful women. Anna doesn’t know how Roman got through it, but says he’s always been a strong man. Anna talks about when she and Roman were married. Paulina thinks she’s trying to change the subject on her. Anna asks what she means. Paulina responds that when she walked in, it sounded like Anna was talking to a dead woman.

Kate tells Nick that they are not going to Hell. Nick reminds her that he has their paperwork. Kate tells him to stay away from them. Kate says they can fight him since there is three of them and only one of him. Kayla and Marlena point out that they don’t have any weapons, so they pick up pieces of a broken pot to threaten Nick. Nick says if they want to do this, they will.

Steve continues accusing Orpheus of killing their wives for revenge on them. Orpheus admits that he did poison them but after they got sick, they were treated and survived. John asks how any of that is relevant now. Orpheus says if someone hadn’t stolen the orchid, they would’ve survived the relapse too. Orpheus tells them that if they really want to punish the person who took their wives, then he will tell them who stole the orchid and they can take it from there. Steve questions him suddenly knowing who the Orchid thief is and he’s going to tell them. Orpheus responds that he will if they are interested and he’s not dead.

Chanel questions Allie moving to New Zealand to live. Allie explains that her son Henry is already with Will and Sonny, so she’s just getting her stuff together and her flight leaves tonight which surprises Chanel. Allie tells her that it’s when Will and Sonny were leaving and she wanted to go with them so they can help her with Henry. Allie notes Chanel not saying anything. Chanel questions why Allie is doing this. Allie thinks she can figure it out. Chanel questions Allie moving to another hemisphere because they broke up. Allie responds that there is nothing here for her anymore since they are over and she doesn’t imagine Chanel would want to be working next to her at the Bakery every day after what she did. Allie calls cheating on her with Alex the worst mistake of her life. Allie adds that being in Salem will just remind her constantly of what a fool she is. Chanel disagrees but Allie says she ruined the best relationship she ever had and made a mess of things in Salem, so she thinks it’s best if she makes a go of it somewhere else.

Anna tells Paulina that she was talking to Kate and jokes that it’s not the first conversation she had with an urn, bringing up when she thought she lost Tony forever but it wasn’t him in the urn. Paulina mentions hearing about that. Paulina brings up hearing Anna talking about Roman and sounding worried about him getting to the prison in time. Anna comments on her hearing quite a bit. Paulina says she didn’t mean to eavesdrop, so she doesn’t have to explain anything. Anna says it’s okay and says that Kate is worried about Lucas and is concerned about his sobriety in prison, so she convinced Roman to go there to try some sort of intervention to keep Lucas from falling off the wagon.

Lucas questions Roman saying he heard all this from Kate’s urn. Lucas asks if Roman is drunk now but he assures he’s not and that he knows what he heard. Roman tells Lucas that Kate is trying to save him from doing something that he can’t come back from. Roman believes because he got her son involved, she reached out from beyond the grave to stop them from making a tragic mistake that they will surely regret for the rest of their lives.

Steve asks John if they are going through with this or not. Orpheus thinks John is interested in what he has to say. Orpheus says Steve may hate him for poisoning his wife, but he knows it wasn’t a death sentence as all three women could have lived if they received another dose of the antidote which was denied to them when the Orchid disappeared. Orpheus declares that whoever took the orchid is just as guilty as he is and just as deserving of their wrath.

Nick asks if Marlena, Kate, and Kayla really think they can stop him, reminding them of who he works for. Nick tells them that the deal is done so there’s no use fighting this. Nick declares that if they won’t come on their own, he’ll just have to give them a little push. Nick then uses his powers to force the women through the door. Nick goes to shove them through when suddenly Jake DiMera appears and stops him!

Chanel admits it would be hard to see Allie every day at the Bakery so it is probably best that they don’t work together anymore, but that’s very different from living 8000 miles apart. Allie assumed Chanel would never want to see her again and thought they were done. Chanel confirms they are done as a couple and won’t be living together or working together anymore, but she wouldn’t just write her off forever because she means too much to her. Chanel says she is upset because Allie hurt her but she knows she made the right decision about their relationship. Chanel tells Allie that she still loves her and she always will, but if this is what Allie thinks is best, she doesn’t want to stand in her way either. Chanel declares that if this is what Allie wants, then she should definitely go. Chanel cries that she’s going to miss the hell out of her and says she is her best friend. Allie cries that she’s going to miss her too.

Nick questions what Jake is doing here and says he unfortunately took a little field trip from Heaven. Kate questions Jake making it in to Heaven.

Lucas tells Roman that it doesn’t matter anymore because they can’t get a hold of John and Steve, they aren’t answering their phones and they can’t just storm the infirmary with all the guards around which is why they came up with the ruse of him falling off the wagon. Roman then orders Lucas to pretend right now that he is drunk.

Steve argues that John can’t actually be taking Orpheus at his word. Steve insists that Orpheus doesn’t know anything and is just stalling. Steve asks how Orpheus could know who stole the orchid unless he was pulling the strings. Orpheus assures them that the orchid thief was acting alone. John asks who it was then. Orpheus says he will once Steve puts down the syringe down. Steve complains that enough is enough and the guard could come in at any moment, so if they are going to make Orpheus pay for what he did to their wives, they have to do it now.

Chanel packs her bag. Allie shows them old photo booth photos that she found of them from London. They talk about the time they spent together there. Chanel calls those some of the best days and nights of her life. Allie feels the same. Allie offers Chanel the pictures, saying they are their pictures and memories. Allie then splits them in half so they each have some. Allie suggests maybe someday in time, they will be like that again.

Lucas tells Roman to forget it because it won’t work. Roman asks why not tell the guard he’s feeling lousy again, so they take him right to the infirmary. Lucas argues that the doctor already discharged him. Roman agrees that they’ve gotten all they can out of the bottle of liquor. Lucas says there has to be another way to get back in the infirmary. Roman declares that he’s going to find it because he has to for Kate.

Jake tells Kate that he made his share of bad choices in life but ultimately, the good outweighed the bad, so now he wears white as an angel. Nick says this is none of Jake’s business. Jake says he’s sorry but Nick cheated so he can’t let him take the ladies to Hell under false pretenses. Nick says he might have used trickery but their signatures are valid. Jake argues that they both know this isn’t about the contracts.

Paulina questions Anna saying that Kate told Roman that she was worried about Lucas. Anna says Kate is very protective of her children. Paulina relates to always wanting to protect her kids. Anna then gets a call from the prison and answers the call from Lucas. Anna asks if Roman got to him in time. Lucas responds that Roman wanted him to call her because he thought she might be worried. Anna steps aside and asks if Roman managed to stop John and Steve from killing Orpheus. Lucas informs her that he hasn’t yet, but he’s going to try.

Steve repeats to John that if they are going to do this, they have to do it now. John remarks that they got in here once, so they could easily do it again. Orpheus points out that this is not a standing offer. John orders Orpheus to convince them now that his information is real if he wants them to spare his life. John asks how Orpheus knows who stole the orchid if he wasn’t in on it. Orpheus responds that he did a little digging. Orpheus gets that they want to punish everyone involved, including him, but he’s incarcerated which is quite the punishment. Orpheus adds that the other parties out there are living it up free. John argues that whoever stole the orchid should pay. Steve doesn’t believe Orpheus can tell them anything. Orpheus warns that if he dies, they will never know. Steve decides he can live with that and goes to inject Orpheus with the syringe, but Roman bursts in and grabs Steve, saying he’s sorry but he can’t let him do this.

Paulina tells Anna that she heard her conversation and she doesn’t get why Roman would try to save Orpheus when he’s responsible for the death of three wonderful women. Paulina argues that Orpheus deserves to burn in Hell. Anna explains that Roman felt the same way, but someone got him to change his mind.

Steve tells Roman that it’s insane that he wants to call the whole thing off because he heard Kate whispering from an urn from beyond the grave. Roman says he wouldn’t believe it unless it happened to him but he heard it clear as day. Orpheus sarcastically asks if Kate is settling in ok. Steve argues that Roman could have been confused but Roman insists he knows Kate’s voice. John compares it to Steve telling him that he saw Kayla. John then informs Roman that Orpheus says he knows who stole the orchid. Roman asks who. John says that Orpheus said he would tell them if they agree not to kill him. Steve declares that the problem is, they just lost their leverage.

Kate and Kayla question what Nick and Jake are talking about. Nick argues that Jake is just trying to give them false hope by interfering. Jake talks about just not liking Nick and how Nick tried to bury him alive two years ago. Jake says Nick tried to give him an early death, just like three women. Nick argues that the women are going to Hell and asks Jake to move along. Jake says he can’t do that because they both know that these three ladies are not really dead, which shocks the women.

Chanel thanks Allie and says it means a lot. Chanel tells Allie to send her postcards and to keep in touch. Chanel guesses this is it as they hug. Chanel and Allie say a tearful goodbye to each other as Chanel then exits the apartment.

John frees Orpheus from being tied to the hospital bed and asks what now. Roman declares that will go home and live their lives in honor of their wives while leaving Orpheus caged up like the animal he is. They go to leave but Orpheus says before they go, he wants to offer an olive branch. Roman asks why he would do that. Orpheus says they spared his life, so to prove to them he’s not a monster. Steve asks if he will tell them who stole the orchid. Orpheus responds that he said he’s not a monster but didn’t say he’s a saint. John says they are leaving. Orpheus stops them and says if they stick around, he’s willing to offer them a clue.

Marlena, Kate, and Kayla question Jake about them not being dead. Nick argues that of course they are. Jake reveals that somebody’s body was cremated but it wasn’t Kate’s as it’s not Kate’s ashes in the urn and Marlena and Kayla’s bodies are not in the graves. Jake reveals that Marlena, Kate, and Kayla are still alive.

Allie sits alone with the photos of her and Chanel as she thinks back to her relationship with Chanel as she starts to cry. Allie then takes her bags and leaves her apartment for the final time.

Chanel sits in the park with her half of her and Allie’s photos. Chanel starts to cry as Paulina approaches and asks if this is about Allie. Chanel reveals that Allie is leaving Salem. Paulina then hugs Chanel as she breaks down crying.

Anna has a drink at the Brady Pub with Kate’s urn and says that no matter what happens, Kate tried her hardest. Anna hopes that Roman got to John and Steve in time. Anna guesses that for now, they just have to keep the faith.

John, Steve, and Roman meet with Lucas in the prison visiting room to reveal the only information that Orpheus gave them is that a DiMera stole the orchid, but they don’t know which one.

Kayla and Kate argue that this doesn’t make sense, questioning what they are doing here if they are still alive. Jake explains that Nick took advantage of a bad situation by plucking them from their bodies and trying to steal their souls. Jake tells the ladies that they don’t belong here. Marlena asks where they are if they weren’t buried or cremated.

Kate, Kayla, and Marlena’s bodies lie in tubes inside of a DiMera Enterprises Laboratory.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

You want me to call off the plan? Really? This whole thing was your idea. You wanted Orpheus to pay for killing my mom. I did. You did. What happened? Why are you backing out your mother? She told me I had to call off. Wait a minute. Wait a minute now I’m really lost you. What? Your mother spoke to me. What do you mean?

Like you saw her, she appeared to you? No, well, technically she didn’t speak to me. Her earned good.

So Kate. Hmm. Do you only Grace Roman with your wisdom? Is that it? No sage advice for me.

Well, maybe if I use you like a Magic eight ball,

will I get everything I want from my birthday this year?

I suppose it only works for the widow air. Anyway, just please keep watching out over Roman and let him get to Statesville in time. In time. For what?

What do you mean who’s responsible for the deaths of her wives? Don’t listen to this liar. He’s just trying to delay the inevitable. What’s your hurry? You killed my wife. The sooner I send you to hell, the better. Aren’t you? The least bit curious? What if you’re wrong? What if I’m not lying? It’s once I’m gone.

You’ll never find out who’s really to blame for this.

Hello? I. You ladies were ready. Did you expect us to answer? I suppose it was all on the rhetorical side. Nevertheless, that time has come eternal hell. Fire isn’t gonna wait forever. Laci. It’s right there in the title. Eternal. So very clever. Very, very clever though. Hi, not the Fool who turned down the get out of hell.

Free card. Am I? We already told you. We are sticking together. It’s all of us or none of us. How noble. I’m sure that will help you where you’re going. Now, if you please right this way, ladies. Oh, and do be careful. The first step is a bitch over my dead body.

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

coming. Geez. Hold your, uh, Chanel. Um, did you forget your keys? No, I came to bring it back actually, and to get the last of my things. Hi. Um, okay.

Oh, is, is this it? You packed it up already? No, um, actually, That’s my stuff. I’m moving to New Zealand

Paul, how lovely to see you again. Um, wasn’t that just the saddest funeral? I mean, all funerals are sad of course, but, uh, well, most are anyway, but to lose. And say goodbye to Kate and Kayla and Marlena all at the same time. Yes. Yes. What a terrible loss. So three, three wonderful women gone much too soon, and I don’t know how Roman got through it first.

He’s always been such a strong man, even when we were first married. Oh, you do know. He and I were, anyway, I guess that’s what I. First attracted me to him. . Yeah. Well, um, I don’t doubt that, but as much as I would like to hear about the early days of your marriage, um, I think you’re trying to change the subject on me.

Isn’t that right? I, well, what do you mean? Oh, what I walked in, it sounded like you were talking to a dead woman

over your dead body. Okay. I’m so sorry. That ship has already sailed okay. Away from us. That with sixth century bc, old glowy eyes is not gonna be happy. And I told you that we’re not going. We may have agreed not to send to Marlena to hell, but that doesn’t mean that three of us are going. Unfortunately.

That’s exactly what it means. And I have the paperwork to prove it. Stay away from us. Where are you? Do we can fight. I can hear you. There are three of us. There’s one of you. What are we gonna fight him with? We don’t have any. I, I mean, I’m not a bare, bare knuckle boxer, you know, I mean, I, we don’t even have any weapons.

Oh. Oh, happy now. I am actually. Okay. Like I said, over our dead. Okay, you want to do this? Let’s do it. Who’s really to blame for this? We’re looking right at ’em. You, you effectively killed our wives. You want to revenge on us? And you took it out on them. Well, you got me there, partner. I did do that. So end of story, Paul, that you didn’t let me finish.

I did poison your wives. I admitted that freely. But as I tried to explain to your co-conspirator Lucas, after the woman got sick, who were treated, they survived, and how is any of that relevant? Oh, you mean because of their relapse? Well, it’s relevant because had someone not stolen the orchid, they would’ve survived that too.

So if you really wanna punish the person who’s ultimately responsible for the death of your wives, then I’ll tell you who the orchid thief is and you’ll take it from there. This ridiculous. All of a sudden, you know who the Orchid Thief was, and you’re gonna tell us Sure. If you’re interested, then I’m not dead.

New Zealand, you’re moving there as in, you’re going to actually live there? Yeah, hang am. Uh, Henry’s already with Will and Sunny at their place, so I’m just getting some of my stuff together. When is your. tonight. Tonight, yeah. It’s when Will and Sunny were traveling and I wanted to go with them. You know they can help me with Henry.

You’re not saying anything. I should just, why are you doing this Horton? I think you can figure it out. You weren’t going to forgive me and get back together. So you move to another hemisphere. The way I see it, there’s nothing here for me. Like you said, we’re over and I don’t imagine that you would wanna be shoulder to shoulder working next to me at the bakery every day after what I did.

Cheating on you with Alex. Worst mistake of my life and being here in Salem, that’s just gonna remind me. Constantly

If you are not a full alley, no. Yes, I am to ruin the best relationship I’ve ever had. I’ve made a mess of things here in Salem, so I think it’s best if I make a go of it somewhere else.

You got me . Um, I was talking to Kate.

Um, and honestly it’s, it’s not the first conversation I’ve had with an urn. . I got very comfortable having one way conversations with. My Tony when I thought I’d lost him forever. Huh. But it wasn’t even him in the urn after all. lucky for both of us. Hmm. Yeah. Um, I think I may have heard something about that, but I just heard you talking to, to Kate about Roman and it sounded like the.

Two of you were, were worried about him, something about hoping he gets to Statesville into life. Well, you heard quite a bit, didn’t you? Oh, oh, I’m sorry. I hope I didn’t mean the eaves drop. I mean, look, you don’t have to explain anything to me. No, no, no. It’s okay. It’s okay. It’s, it’s, um, Kate. I was worried about Lucas.

She’s concerned about his sobriety in prison. So, uh, she, uh, convinced Roman to go there and see if there’s some sort of intervention he can do to try to keep Lucas from falling off the wagon.

Be kidding me. You heard all this from her? Yes. Well, I told her I like talking to her. I can understand that. You like talking to her. I get that. Maybe. Maybe you talking to her ashes, but her talking back to you. What are you doing? Are you drunk? You hitting the sauce on me now. Silver is a judge. Well then you never met the judges since me.

I know what I heard. Lucas, my wife, your mom is trying to save me from doing something I can’t come back from. Not to mention I got her son involved in this mess too, and that’s why she reached out to me from beyond the grave to stop us and make it a tragic mistake. One we are sure to regret for the rest of our lives.

John, are we going through with this or not? John here seems interested in what I have to say and with good reason. Steve, as much as you may hate me for poisoning your wife, you know, it wasn’t a, a death sentence. All three women could have lived had they received another dose of the antidote, a dose that was denied them when the orchid that could have saved them disappeared.

Therefore, whoever absconded with it is just as guilty as I am and just as deserving of your wrath. More so as I see it.

Do you really think you can stop me with those pathetic bits of crock. Do you forget where you are? Who I work for.

As I said, the deal is done. There’s no use fighting this ladies, but you forced my hand. If you won’t come of your own volition. I’ll just have to give you a little push. Oh, what’s happening? I don’t know. I, I, I can’t stop it. Uh, what is he doing to us? What must be done? Fight it. Try to fight. I can’t. Thank you for choosing us as your escort to the nether world.

We do hope you’ve enjoyed your voyage through the hereafter. We’d really appreciate if you gave us a positive review and rated us five pentagrams. And please mention me by, I’ve been Nick, thank you and enjoy where you,

of course, it would be hard to see you every day at the bakery, so yeah, it, it is probably best that we don’t work together. But Horton not working in the same shop and living 8,000 miles apart are two very different things. After what I did, I just assumed that, I assumed what? That I’d never wanna see you again.

I don’t know. I just thought that, I just thought we were done. Like I said, done as a couple. Yeah. We won’t be living together or working together anymore, but Horton. You can’t honestly think that I would just write you off forever. You mean too much to me and Yes. Yes. I am upset. Obviously, you hurt me and, and I know that I made the right decision about us and our relationship.

But horse, I still love you. I always will.

If, if this is what you think is best for you, and I, I, I don’t wanna stand in your way either. So if this is what you want and if this is what’s best for you and Henry, then you should definitely go.

I am gonna miss you. I’m gonna miss the hell outta you. You’re my best friend.

I’m gonna miss you. Two, three.

What the hell are you doing here? Damara, Stephan Stephan’s Alive. This is the other one. Hmm? Yes, the other one in the flesh, so to speak though, I prefer to be called Jake. Unfortunately, Jake took a little field trip from the Good Place. Oh wait, so this two big gangster and the man who cheated on me with Gabby, you mean He made it into heaven.

It’s nice to see you, Kate. Yeah, well I wish I could see the same.

Alright, fine. Let’s say you’re right. Let’s say my mom is talking to you. Um, it doesn’t matter anymore because we can’t get ahold of John and Steve. They’re not answering their phones, and you can’t just storm the infirmary anytime You want those guards, they know the rules. They’re gonna enforce everything.

I know that, but that’s why we did this. That’s why we came up with the rules for me to fall off the wagon. Okay. What? Whoa, wait a minute. That’s it. What? What’s it? Make this happen now. What are you talking about right now? Right now, pretend you are three cheats to the wind.

What the hell, John? You can’t actually be taking this lunatic at his word. That orchid came up missing partner if he knows who to. He doesn’t. He doesn’t know anything except he doesn’t want to die. He’s stalling. Let me ask you something. How could he know unless he was pulling the strings, if I may? No, you may not partner.

Thank you. I can assure you the organ thief was acting alone. Good to know. So who did it? Just tell us once your friend puts down the syringe, Enough is enough. A guard could walk through that door any minute if we’re gonna finish the job we came here to do and make this worm pay for what he did to our wives.

We have to do it now.

You got everything. I think so. Uh, wait. Look’s what I found while I was packing. Remember these ? Oh my God. . Yeah. We took these at that photo booth, at that club in London at the little Scarlet Door. Yeah. Yeah. We used to hang out there all the time. Stay out all night dancing, watch the sun come up, and then we’d go get breakfast at that, uh, hole in the wall.

Uh, what was it called? . Oh, the Red Lion? Yes. Yeah, the Red Lion. And then for breakfast we always ordered bangers and mash, and then for dessert, sticky toffy, bang . Those were some of the best days and nights of my life. Me too, for sure.

You should have this. No, no, they’re yours. No, they’re. Our pictures, our memories.

Thank you H. Of course. And who knows, maybe someday in time we’ll be like that again.

Forget it. Forget it. I can’t do it. Okay. It’s not gonna work. Why not? Why not? You tell the guard you’re feeling lousy. Again, slow your words stumble around a little bit. He’ll take you right to the infirm. Can’t do that. The doctor already discharged me. The guards know that. What if I act drunk? Now they’re gonna be like, what are you the boy who cried drunk?

Damn it. Damn it. You’re right. Yeah. Uh, I think we’ve got probably all the mileage we can get out that bottle of liquor, right? I mean, there’s gotta be another way for me to get back to the infirmary and I am damn well to find it. I have. Okay,

look, I may have made my fair share of mistakes during my life, but the ultimate scorekeeper decided that the good outweighed the bad. So now I wear white. Isn’t that nice? Yeah. He plays for the angels. Now, I am an angel, which means that you have no jurisdiction here, none of your business. So please go.

Sorry, Nick, but you. And I cannot let you take these ladies to hell under false pretenses. False pretenses. Listen, jakey, all right. I might have used some trickery to obtain them, but those signatures are valid whether you like it or not. Those signatures might be genuine. As genuine as those $2 bills, you pawned off on ’em.

But we both know Nikki, this isn’t about the contract.

So Kate told Roman she was worried about lupus. Well, she’s, she’s very protective of him, of all her children. Hmm. Well, I can’t say that I blame her . I don’t think there will ever be a time that I do not worry about my, my kids or try to protect them. , even from the Great Beyond

um, your phone, I, it’s in your purse. Oh, right. Silly me.

Ooh, it’s from Statesville. I hope that doesn’t mean. Hello? Hello? Yes, I will accept this call. And it’s Lucas. Oh Lucas. Thank God. Oh, um, did Roman get to you in time? Roman wanted me to call you? He, uh, he thought you might be worried. What? Did he manage to stop John and Steve from killing Orpheus? He hasn’t yet, but he’s gonna try.

Come on John. If we’re gonna do this, we have to do it now. We good in here Once. We can easily do it again. I’ve always had faith in you. Hey, shut up. He hasn’t decided yet. If it helps, John, I never said this was a standing offer, neither did we. So if you want us to spare your life, you’re gonna convince us right now.

But that him tell us real well, how could I possibly do that? That’s not our problem. If you weren’t in on steel light Orchard, how do you know who did it? I did a little digging. Look, I. You want to punish everyone involved, including me. Hey, , I’m incarcerated. Uh, this is quite the punishment. Trust me. On the other hand, the other party’s out there moving it up free is a bird.

And nothing happened. Oh, for God sake. Hey, I’m not saving. Myla doesn’t deserve to pay you, but someone else stole that work. So do they. Well, he can’t tell us anything. This is nothing but self-preservation. I admire your confidence, Steve, but if I were you, I would ponder this a moment If I die. You’ll never know.

I can live with that.

Sorry, Steve, I can’t let you do this.

I don’t get it. You don’t get what? I’ll give it up. Emma, I heard your conversation just now. I have very keen ears and what I do not get is why. Why would Roman try to save that piece of dirt office? That basket is responsible for the death of three wonderful women, and in my book, he be getting just what he deserves.

If they send him to that afterlife too, where he would surely burn in hell. Well, Roman felt that same way. But someone got him to change his mind.

Roman, this is insane. You wanna call this whole thing off because you heard Kate whispering from an urn from beyond the grave. Look, I get it. Okay. I don’t know if I’d believe it if that didn’t happen to me, but I witnessed it. Steve, I heard her Thursday. How is the old bird settling in?

Roman, listen, maybe you’re confused. Maybe it was your guilty conscience playing tricks on you. I mean, you were against this from the beginning. Thank you, Roman. Yeah, but I did come around Steve. It was Kate. I know my wife’s voice when I hurt. You know what? This sounds almost as crazy. Is when you told me yourself, you saw Kayla.

Okay. What? Wait a minute. You saw Kayla? I did. I saw her. She came to me. It wasn’t a voice from an urn. Totally different John. Nothing from Doc. Shut your filthy mouth. Forget about him. Man. It’s hard. I know. Let’s still focused here. Eye on the prize, which is, or Ortiz says he knows who stole that.

Oh, he said he’s gonna tell us if we agree not to kill over.

Only problem is we just lost our leverage.

You are not talking about the. And what are you talking about? Okay, hold on. Now, how did Nick get our souls under false pretense? He’s just trying to give you false hope and it’s not gonna work. So why are you interfering simple? I don’t like you. I haven’t liked you since the Halloween before last when you kidnap me from the police station and dragged me to the cemetery.

Good times. Not for me, a sick bastard. You tried to bury me alive. Well, I wasn’t exactly acting alone was I marlina? I don’t. I hold you and you alone responsible. You shoved me into your own coffin and tried to dig me an early grave. Well, it wasn’t that early as it turned out. You like early nonetheless, just like you’re trying to do to these three ladies.

What do you mean by early pay? No attention to the moron in white. Okay, yes. Maybe these three suffered an untimely death when they were given a toxin by Orpheus, but that doesn’t change the fact that they’re going to. Untimely, huh? Yes. Untimely. Yes. So please just move along. Can’t let you do that, Nick, because both you and I know these three ladies aren’t really dead.

Thank you. Of course

you better send me, uh, postcards and let me know if you need any koalas or kangaroos. , that’s Australia, but New Zealand has Kiwis and Hobbits. Okay. Will you let me know if you need any of those? Oh, you’ll be the first one. Oh,

so, uh,

I guess this is it. Can I? Of course you can.

Goodbye.

All right, gentlemen. What Now we go. We honor our wives memories by living good lives, and we leave this sick monster right here, caged up like the animal he is.

Gentlemen, before you go,

allow me to offer you an olive branch. Why would you do. Isn’t it obvious you spared my life?

So to prove to you that I’m not the monster you think I am, you’re gonna tell us who stole the orchid. I said, I’m not a monster. I didn’t say I was a saint. Let’s get outta here, suit yourself. So, but if you’ll stick around. A moment. I’m willing to offer you a clue.

Jake, what are you saying? What do you mean you’re not dead? I told you he’s, he’s, he’s not making any sense. All right. Of course, they’re dead. Marlena and Kayla were buried, uh, this morning and, and Kate was, was burned to ashes days ago. Well, maybe somebody’s body was burned to ashes in that crematorium, but it wasn’t Kate’s.

Those aren’t Kate’s ashes in that arm. Just like those aren’t Marlena and Kayla’s bodies in those graves. What are you talking about? But if our, if our bodies aren’t in the graves, then. Are you saying that we’re still alive? That’s exactly what I’m saying.

Please tell me we didn’t lose money. Dupre tell me, we at least broke even. We made a profit, a big one. Look, oh my God. We ate that much on our first day, . Hey, I don’t know what I do about you Horton.

I’m so wrecked. I can hardly stand. But that’s, that’s what we do for each other. That’s what we’ve always done since London. When the world gets one of us down, we hold each other up. You and me against the world. But you’re my best friend, Chanel, and we know everything about each other. We obviously have feelings for each other, so I don’t know, now that we’re both single, maybe this is our chance to give us a shot, you know, see if we have a future as there’s a couple.

Yeah, unless that sounds crazy. Oh, it definitely sounds. But I absolutely love it.

I love you so much. I love you too.

Honey, what is it? What is this about

leaving sale? Oh, oh my baby girl. Come here. I’m old, baby. Come here. Come to mama. Come to mama. I’m all honey.

So Kate. No matter what happens, you did try your darnedest. I just hope that Roman got to Statesville in time to stop Steve and John from uh, you know, I’m not gonna say it cuz you never know who’s listening.

And anyway, for now, I guess you and I just have to keep the faith.

Hmm. You gotta be kidding me. After all that Kristen was robbed by. That’s right. Seems fitting, doesn’t it? But which one? That’s still a mystery. Well, same old life. Wouldn’t give us everything, but at least we know now. But Dara stole the yorke

that that doesn’t make any sense. No kidding. I, I mean, if we’re still alive, then what the hell are we doing here with the minion? The minion took advantage of a bad situation. He plucked you from your bodies and tried to steal your souls. Damn you Jake. Ah, Nick, I’m sorry, but that’s your fate, not mine.

Just like it’s not yours. You ladies don’t belong here. Well, that’s obvious, but, but move. Our bodies weren’t barrier cremated. Where are they? Where are we?

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 Did you guys have any trouble getting in? It took a little longer than expected to cut the security cams, but we got it. Slipping in the medical injuries is really a good call, kid. Thanks. Thanks. All I did was, you know, channel my messy trunk. God knows I’ve had enough practice and then I acted like I passed out.

They probably needed the infirmary to recover. Nice. Now all we have to is wait for appears to start a shift. We’re finally gonna end as son of a bitches reign.

Don’t you have a shift in the infirmary? I thought you want to check on Lucas Forton? I do, but there’s something tripping me up. You said he was so drunk that he passed out, put the deck in his very wrong. Well, he was acting kind of buzzed when he asked me for a second bottle, but, I wasn’t gone that long.

Certainly not long enough for him to get that wasted. What are you saying? I’m saying I smell a rat.

Don’t worry, Kate, before this day is over. Orpheus will pay for what he did to you and Kayla and Marla,

all three of you will finally be able to rest in peace. So John, Roman and Steve are gonna kill Orpheus. Yeah. Plans already in motion. It’s going down today. The same day they laid you three to rest. It’s honestly poetic. I don’t believe that there is no way that Roman would ever willingly take someone’s life, really, even, even to avenge your death.

Okay, get alright. It’s so flattering. But no, he would not, because he’s a cop and he believes in doing the right thing. Hmm. Yeah. But that was before Orpheus killed his wife, sister. The mother of his children, I mean, he lost three women. He loves very, very much Roman, Steve, John. They’re, they’re upset. They are angry.

They’re scared. Scared of what? Scared of Orpheus going after the rest of your family. I don’t believe that Kayla,

Kayla. Well, when Aeu was first released from prison, Steve did wanna eliminate him to protect the kids and me, and he did try to talk John into it. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I mean, if you asked me, John should have listened because then the three of you wouldn’t be dead. And his precious stock wouldn’t be stuck pleading her case with the devil.

Let me understand this. If I agree to spend all of eternity by your side in hell, then you agree to let Kate and Kayla out of their contracts, you’ll be saving their immortal souls. But in return, I have to sell you. Well, that’s quite a bargain after all. Two souls for the price of only one. What do you say, Marlena?

Do we have a deal

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

Look, there’s gotta be some recourse. You’ve already admitted that the only reason that we’re here is because that minion of yours tricked us into signing away our souls. Marlena, if you don’t like the deal, you just walk away and I’ll and force. Original three contracts. Well then why even offer it to us?

Because strangely, I don’t wish to win by cheating. And like I say, you are the one that got away twice.

I’ve gotta think about it. No, it’s a limited time offer. I need your answer for this right now. Now.

I mean, why would we even believe anything you have to say? This is probably just what, another mind game to torture us. . That does sound like me, but um, I’m not lying Here. Take a look. So you want to, three of us to command Mark. Can we slow this down a minute, guys? You both know it would be a service to humanity to put Orpheus down like a rabbit dog.

Believe me now. Well, all I see is Steve proposing a crazy idea and John and and Roman are rejecting it, so, okay. Okay, fair enough. Um, I’ll just fast forward to the, to the good part. Oh yeah, you gotta do this. Gotta be old or nothing. So what are you saying? I’m saying I’m in, let’s make damn sure that or fish never hurts another living so,

I can’t believe this. B B B believe it. What the hell is wrong with your husband?

My beautiful kid. I would give anything to hear your voice one more time, and I can’t help but think of all the time we lost. All the time we wasting. And I know that nothing we do we’ll be able to bring back you or Kay or Mar. But at least that madman will never be able to hurt anybody we love again.

It’ll all be over soon.

Ramen Uh, Anna, I You want, I’m sorry. We’re, uh, Oh, I know. I, I saw the sign. That’s why I came in the back. I just wanted to see how you were holding up. I didn’t give a chance to talk to you at the funeral. I’m, uh, you know, I’m, I’m fine. Fun, Noah. Offense, Roman. But you know, when I came in, you were talking to this urn.

You saw that, huh? Mm-hmm.

Well, I know it isn’t Kate, but it just brings me closer to her. Pretty sure you of all people understand that

people rolled their eyes at me when I carried Tony’s ashes around when I thought he was. But it brought me comfort. And I understand that now cuz it does, it brings me comfort. And I I know you get that. I do. But there is one thing I don’t get. Uh, when I came in, you were, Saying, it’ll all be over soon.

What did you mean by that?

Poor piss should be starting a shift any minute now. Okay, then you better get going. Be talking about not going anywhere. Hey, Lucas, you’ve done your part. You got us in. Go back to your cell. There’s no reason for you to get blood on your. Or he has killed my mom. I want to be here. I want to be here to see him.

Take his last breath. We, we understand that, but it’s gonna be safer for you if you just let us handle this safer for me. I’m already in prison. What difference does it, you’re gonna be outta here before long and Ali’s gonna need you. Hey, we appreciate your help more than you know. This was our idea. We should be the ones to see it through.

What if something happens? What if something goes wrong and you need backup Lucas? We know what we’re doing.

What’s going on in here?

Let me ask you something. Did you actually see Horton take a drink? No, but I wasn’t here the whole. Ah,

the bottle’s empty.

Hey, pour it out. That fool is pretending to be drunk. How you do that? I don’t know. Obviously he’s playing some kind of game, so let’s find out what it is.

We came in here to tidy up the infirmary and we get sidetracked by this guy. I’m telling you. Got a real chatter box on your hands. I’ve never seen the two of you here before. Uh, it’s probably cause we just started a couple weeks ago. We’re usually on the night shift. Yeah, I see. Well, you shouldn’t be interacting with the inmates.

That’s what we told them. But I think it’s been a little overserved, if you know what I mean. I do Feel free to get back to work. All right, good. We just gotta finish cleaning this room up. Yeah. The supervisor’s a bit of a hard ass. I hear you. Yeah, don’t let me get in the way. All right. Thanks folks.

Drinking until you pass out, Mr. Harden. I won’t even ask you where you got the booze. I wouldn’t tell you anywhere. You know, he doesn’t look too bad to me. I bet he just needs to go back to his cell and sleep it. Uh, thanks for the diagnosis, but I think I can handle this. Take a seat, please.

Well, you do seem reasonably fine, although you certainly smell of alcohol. Well, you know, I’m, I’m pretty good at sobering up. I’ve had a lot of practice. Well, the next time you think about drinking, don’t, you’ll save yourself a lot of. Thank you. That’s good advice. I’ll walk you out. I appreciate that.

So what is it that’s going to be over soon? Um, the funerals. No, the funerals are already over. Well, I have to still, you know, stare her Kate ashes and, uh, it won’t truly begun until she’s laid to rest. I see what you mean.

This is so tragic. Magic. You and Kate didn’t have nearly enough time to. No, we didn’t, and

I miss her so damn much. I just hope wherever she is, she’s at peace. You’re blaming Steve. Yes. I’m blaming your husband. I mean, he could. He talked Roman into committing murder. Roman could end up in prison for the rest of his life. Not to mention damning his soul for all of E. Well, you’re not helping. But look at the bright side though, right?

I mean, you two and Marlena, you’ll, you’ll eventually be reunited with your husbands in hell. There is nothing bright about that. And that is not going to happen. No. No, because Marlena is before the devil, right? The second trying to convince him that we should be able to remain in heaven. And as much as I hate the idea of Roman killing anyone, it is Orpheus.

He should probably be getting a reward for getting that monster off to the face of the earth. Yeah, . Yeah. That, that’s not really the way it works. Well, you know, somebody, that’s how it should work. Listen, I would love to stick around here arguing, but I actually have other guests to torment, so why don’t I circle back when the boss man makes decision about your eternal souls.

All right.

I, I, honestly, I cannot believe that. Let Steve talk commence this terrible idea. Well, I don’t like it any more than you do. You spoke to Steve. Yeah, but I didn’t know that they were planning this. If I had, I, I would’ve stopped him. Now there’s, there’s just nothing we can do unless there is,

so if I agree to your terms, how do I know that I can trust you to keep up your side of the bargain? I. The devil. Well, you may not believe this, but my word does count for something around here. Okay? So if I agree to this deal, then you agree that you will. Allow my friends to go to the good place. You have my word.

Okay. Okay. Okay. You’ve got a deal.

You have no idea how rare it is for me to make such a bargain. I hope you don’t expect me to. Thank you, Marna, you being with me throughout all eternity. That’s gonna be thanks enough for me. May I at least say goodbye to Kate and Kayla? Uh, say your f farewells, and then Nick will escort you down, down, down to my neck of the woods.

I can’t believe this is happening. Enjoy your last moments of peace. Marlena Evans

Oh, by the way, when do you see me next? I will be in my true form. Try not to scream.

Okay, so tell me how you reached Steve last. I don’t know. It was, it was just sort of an accident. What do you mean you accidentally breached the wall between earth and heaven? No, I don’t know. I, I, I was just thinking about him and how much I missed him and just sort of happened. Well, maybe we could, we could try that and I could talk to our husbands and talk them out of this terrible, terrible.

I don’t know. You heard Nick. He said that they already closed up the hole in the firewall or whatever. Okay. Well that was specifically talking about you and Steve though. Maybe I can still reach Roman. Well, it’s worth a shot. Okay. Um, alright. So just try it. Okay. Robin, can you hear me? No, no, no, no, no. I don’t, I don’t think, I don’t, I think that’s gonna work.

Oh. So, okay. So what do you think? What did you do? Well, I mean, I think I got lucky because, uh, Steve was sort of half asleep when I contacted him, and I, I, I think I just sort of, I just sort of walked into his dream. Okay, well, I, we can’t do that because I can’t wait to leave. He’s sleeping. I mean, they’re going to go after Orpheus during the day.

Okay. All right. All right. Alright. Try this. All. Alright. Close your eyes, close your, okay. All right. And then just sort of, sort of picture Roman, are you picturing him Close my eyes? And what? And just, you know, you know, I, I mean it’s, I don’t think it’s about shouting or anything. I think you just have to concentrate and imagine that your voice is traveling all the way down to run.

Imagine. Imagine that he’s right here in front of you.

Roman. Roman. Can you hear me? Yeah. It’s Kate.

Oh, this is ridiculous. It’s No, no, no, no, no. You were doing great. You were doing great. Smoke work on stay focused. Just let’s try again.

Roman. Roman, please. You have to hear me Roman.

Here’s a little advice when you scatter Kate’s ashes, save some out for yourself. , you could even put them in a vial to hang around your neck and then she would be with you always. Um, not sure about that. Well, I know, I know some may see that as extreme and a little creepy, but I see it as romantic. It.

It’s not like I’m suggesting that you snort Kate’s remains with a line of cocaine. What , you don’t know about that? Keith Richards did that when his dad died. Didn’t know that. Well, my point is I think you should keep a little bit of Kate around and that way you can talk to her from time to time whenever you need it.

Even if she doesn’t talk back. Roman. Can you hear me? It’s me, Kate.

Hey, I heard they brought in a new patient. Uh, need meet by the name of Lucas Horton. You know where he is? Hello. Sorry pal. It’s just me and me.

Surprise.

Did you hear that? Hear what? I could have sworn it. You don’t want ? Nevermind. I think I’m, uh, I think I’m just exhausted. Well, honey, it’s been a rough morning. Maybe you should go upstairs and lie down. Well, I would, but uh, I’m waiting for a call, Roman, if you can hear me. I need you to listen very carefully, Kate.

What about her? Hang on, come on. Be quiet. Okay, Roman, I know what you’re plotting with Steve and John. I don’t get in know the world. You can’t go through with the plan. I understand you’re upset, but Orpheus isn’t worth condemning your soul for all eternity. Trust me. Don’t do it. I’m begging you Kate. Kate, where are.

She’s right there. Hannah, I can hear her. Kate is talking to me right now.

Roman, please, please. I need you to hear me.

I think, I think it’s happening and I, I think I should feel him. Keep going. Keep going. Stay focused. Come on. Come on Roman. Roman, please, please promise me that you won’t. He won’t kills. You have to. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You have to stop. What? What the hell are you trying to do, Roman? Please, please don’t do it, Roman.

What happened? I lost the connection. Did you hear him? Did he talk to you? I, I couldn’t see him and, and I don’t think that he, he saw me, but I felt the connection. Okay. I don’t know what just happened, but I’m gonna have a really strong word with our IT department about this. I believe it. I can’t believe I reached him.

Can he hear you? I can’t be sure. I really can’t be sure, but in my gut. Oh my God. I know he got the message.

Kate, can you hear me? Can you hear me? Roman? Have you been drinking? Uh, or, or maybe you’ve already started completely shoulder this. Honey, I won’t judge you. I mean, you just lost your wife. It’s, it’s understandable. You’d wanna drink yourself into a delusional. This is not a delusion. Anna, I can hear Kate, or at least I could.

I can’t hear her anymore. Kate, are you still there? Has she spoken to you before? No, this is the first time. Kate, can you hear me? Are you still there, Kate?

Well, what did she say to you?

She was trying to stop me from going through with the plan. What plan I, I thought I made it very, very clear that you were not allowed to make contact with the. And what are you gonna do about it? Because you can’t send us to hell until you get permission for your boss, right? . But I can make your life pretty unpleasant.

Until then, I have baby shark on continuous loop. And I am not afraid to use it. We’ll just do your worst because it’s not gonna change the fact that I already contacted Roman. Oh yeah. And what do you think that little stunt accomplished? Well, I think that probably as we’re speaking right now, Roman is convincing Steve and John not to murder Orpheus.

What did you say That Steve and John are going to murder or. Apparently the guys are applying to avenge our deaths, but I think I managed to stop them. At least I hope so. I knew Lucas was up to something, although it didn’t occur to me. You two clowns were involved. Look at that John. US two clowns can still surprise this old bet.

Let me guess. Horton faked his blackout so that he could sneak your sorry, carcasses in through the infirmary. Is that it? Bullseye. Okay. Not a terrible plan. I know this will come with a surprise to you, but I’m glad you’re here. Is it a fact? Why is that? Well, I heard today was the funeral for your wives, and I felt terrible.

I couldn’t convey my condos. Cut that crap right now. Marlena and Kayla were lovely, vibrant women. It’s a tragedy they had to endear such. Shut your fluffy milk in. It’s okay. I can see you’re both still devastated by their loss. Well, let’s just say that it’s, uh, it’s been a difficulty day, but you know what, John and I have found a way to ease our suffering.

Oh, and what’s that?

We’re gonna watch you.

You really felt that you were reaching Roman? Yes, I felt a connection. Excuse me ladies, sorry to interrupt, but instead of ringing your hands over the faces of your husband’s immortal souls, perhaps it would be a good idea to start thinking about your own. Do you have a point? So how did the meeting go to the devil?

I was able to, uh, to make a deal. What kind of deal? Well, the two of you are not going to hell. Ah, thank God. Like he needs more. Thanks. Would know that you would be able to pull through. Oh, thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much. I don’t understand what, how did this. Well, uh, you can see that your boss has voted the contracts.

How did you roll that off? Well, I, I had to make a deal. Hang on. Your papers aren’t here. Yes, I know. No later. What did you do?

Well, in order to, Guarantee that two of you stay in heaven. I, I had to agree that I would spend the rest of eternity in hell with the devil.

So you and John and Steve. Are going to kill Orpheus today. Keep your voice tab. Well, who are you afraid is going to hear Kate act funny? Roman Ghost Kate is right. You can’t go through with it. Why not? Because of that bastard. I lost three of the most important women in my life. Well, I’m not saying that he doesn’t deserve to burn in hell, but you can’t be the ones to end his life.

We have to stop him from hurting anybody. Well, obviously Kate doesn’t agree. Okay, so you do believe that I really did hear her voice.

If you live in this town long enough, there’s not a hell of a lot. You won’t believe you have got to stop them, Roman. You can’t let them murder or FIAs. In some ways, I’m surprised it took you this long to seek revenge. Beginning to think you didn’t have it in you. Yeah. , you just keep right on talking, pal strengthens our resolve and put it into you.

And how is that to be achieved? May I ask? Well, you’re gonna make it look like you helped yourself to the infirmaries wide assortment of opioids and, but you got a little careless and now they’ve got themselves an accidental overdose. Oh, that figure. You’re both too cowardly to claim credit for your handy work

Call it what you like, but you’ve already taken enough from us. Why should we let you take our families and our freedom? What about your immortal souls? Yeah. What about ’em? Well, taking a life in cold blood, the best of my recollection. That’s a commandment breaker. You know? In this case, I think the big dude will understand.

You sure about that? I know I’m going to hell. Do you really want to join me there?

It’s Roman

uh oh. Ex-com. Commissioner Brady’s. Is there a crack in the coalition? A weak link in the Justice League? I hope Roman’s not getting cold feet. You killed his wife, his sister, and the mother of his twins. Believe me, Roman is rock solid. Then why is he calling? He’s just anxious to hear that we have completed the job.

Only one way to find out,

let’s just get this over with. Phil Roman in once. We’re on our way home to our families and this piece of garbage is in a body bag.

Damn, Steve didn’t answer. John’s phone is going straight to voicemail. They’re not saying my text either. Well, you can’t give up. You have got to get to Statesville and stop them Roman. If you end Orpheus’s life, you are playing right into his. He will live one yet again by turning you guys into something you are not.

You know what? You’re right. I agree. I gotta do whatever the hell I can to stop this. Hurry.

You know, killing me is not gonna bring your wives back. No, but it’ll go a long way toward evening the score. You know, for the record, this isn’t just about revenge. We’re actually being proactive here. Yeah. How do you figure? Well, we know that it’s only a matter of time before you decide we haven’t suffered enough.

What’s to keep you from going after our kids, our grandkids? Well, I can’t imagine you’d take my word for it. See, this is the only way that we can ensure that you’ll never hurt anybody ever again. I’m gonna see if I can wrangle up that syringe.

Well, Milo Orpheus, ready for your journey to help.

You know,

I’ve seen you die before. This time after what you did to Gala. I’m really gonna enjoy watching the Life Train outta you.

The devil admits that the contracts are unenforceable because they were obtained through Trickery. What? Since when does he have a problem with trickery? But he offered you a deal, right? Yes. He’s willing to let the two of you stay in heaven as long as I withdraw my appeal and agree to live with my fate.

An eternity in hell yes. Oh, Elena. Well, I think he’s just upset because I slipped through his fingers twice and you know, it’s that ego thing. Well, I’m sure that I speak for Kayla when Essie. Thank you. For your sacrifice. We will never, ever forget it. No, no, no, no, no. We are not, we are not doing that. I did.

I think it’s, I think it’s a dumb deal. I don’t care. We are not letting Marlena trade her soul for ours. Yeah. Well, I don’t think we’re going to be able to talk her out of it. Kayla. We need to stick together. What in hell? Yes. I mean, are you kidding me? We are stronger together and I think that we can fight this.

Okay. Ah. Well, Marlena said that the devil admitted that the, that the contracts were flimsy, right? Yes. But he said he is willing to uphold them. So I have instructions to escort you all to the bad place immediately if Marlena backside of the deal. Okay. Well, I mean, I’m sorry, but obviously we, we don’t really have a choice with this.

Yes, we do have a choice. We have a choice. This is what, this is what’s gonna happen. Are going to stick together. This is what it’s gonna be. It’s gonna be, we are gonna present ourselves as a united front. And if one person goes to hell, we all go to hell.

Kayla, my dear friend. I appreciate it, your gesture, but I’m okay. You’re okay with going to hell. I’ve made my decision. I’m at peace with, well, you know what I, I, I’m not. I’m not at peace with it. Okay. We cannot let our dear friends suffer in hell while we urban heaven. We wouldn’t be happy. Well, I mean, I, I’m sure it’s, it’s fucking easy.

But given time, I think we, I think adjust. Sweet. Okay. Fine, fine. What I meant to say is, you know, I was just trying that on mm-hmm. . So just to clarify, What are we saying? We’re saying that we’re sticking together. There’s no deal. Okay. I was hoping you were gonna say that. So I guess it’s time. I will escort you three ladies to the nether world.

Are you ready to go to

Kate? Are you there? It’s Anna. I don’t expect you to answer, so I’ll just do all the talking. I wanna thank you for being Roman’s guardian, angel. I know I didn’t always agree with how you’d lived your life, but I know you loved him and I think deep down he knows what he’s doing is wrong. Oh, I hope he gets there in time to stop Steve and Don from making a huge mistake.

What are you doing here? Why are Steve and John? I, I, I assume they’re in the infirmary. Are they with Orpheus? I guess they are. Yeah. Alright, take me here right now. Why We gotta stop him? We gotta call this whole thing off. Ah, there should be enough morphine in here to knock you out. For good.

Let me do the honors. Are you sure? I don’t have a problem with this. This was my idea. I should do it. What a touching act of self-sacrifice.

You are gonna regret this. My only regret is that I didn’t do it sooner before you poisoned our wive. Now you’re gonna pay for what you did. Hold it. There’s something you need to know. I’m not interested. Nothing you say can change our minds. You sure about that? Are you sure about that?

What if I were to tell you who’s really. Over the death of your wives.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 It’s a beautiful service, man.

So was Marlene’s. And Kates three funerals. Man, what this just overwhelming. Yeah.

You know, I think half the town showed up. They sure did touch a lot of people’s lives.

I lost count how many times. Someone put a hand on my shoulder, told me how much Kayla meant to them

and how it doesn’t make sense. She’s gone. I’m right there with them. Just can my head around the fact that I’ll never see Doc on this planet earth again,

just like you’ll never see.

I saw her last night.

You know you’re gonna wear a hole in the cloud if you keep pacing like that. Oh, ha, ha ha. What else else am I supposed to do while we wait for Nick Fallon? If he ever shows up? Oh, he’s coming back. How do we know that? Because the devil went to a lot of trouble to trick us into signing away our souls.

Well, he owes us an opportunity to plead our case. Hello? Hello? Hello, ladies. All right. What’s happening? A meeting with the devil. Uh, you know, they say patience is a virtue, not that virtue’s gonna matter that much where the three of you are headed. Oh, okay. What’s that supposed to mean? It means that it’s not easy booking a face-to-face with Satan.

Okay. I mean, why should he care about three arrogant women,

three funerals. Three, both my grandmothers and Michael.

Sorry. Thanks. But hey, you know, got to paint around family today. Yeah. I’m, I’m about to leave him right in the middle of all this suffering. And you don’t have to leave you in. I do. I gotta go to New Zealand for the shoot. I can’t put it off any longer. I hate that. I gotta say goodbye to you already.

Well, you don’t have to say goodbye

because I’m coming with you. I really sorry. You couldn’t say goodbye to your. It was, uh, it was a beautiful service. Being stuck here has made the whole thing a lot harder. Okay, look, I know the time stinks here, but, uh, we need to talk about, or well, you wanna put things into motion today? Look, if this’s gonna work, dude.

No better time for you to fall off the wagon in the day of your mother’s funeral.

Are you telling us that he denied our request? Oh, maybe because it’s your funeral day and he is feeling charitable, but he actually said yes. Yes. Congratulations. You’ve been granted an audience with the devil himself. Oh, excellent.

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

You. You’re kidding. You, you’re kidding, right? No, sunny. You can’t come to New Zealand. What I can’t do is spend another minute away from you. Will I? Don’t you think we’ve been separated long enough? Of course. Do you remember what happened the last time we were apart for too long? How Leo nearly sunk our marriage.

I, I remember, but sunny. But, but no, but nothing.

I’m sorry, will I just, I can’t spend another six months away from you. It’s not what I signed up for and I don’t think it’s what you signed up for either.

So I’m, I’m sorry, but I’m along for the ride. There’s nothing you can do to stop.

You saw Kayla.

I know how it sounds. Okay, but last night I was on the couch drifting off

and suddenly she came through the door.

My sweet. As beautiful as ever. Wow. That’s a, that’s a really nice vision. It wasn’t a vision. She was flushing blood. I touched her. We kissed. Oh, how’d you do that? I don’t know,

but she said she needed my help. What kind of help? She told me that she and Marlena and Kate had been tricked into giving their souls away to the devil. Come on partner. I know, I know. It’s crazy. It’s crazy. And then Trip came home. Kayla disappeared.

I’d had a few beers, so he tried to convince me that it wasn’t real, that it was just a. But no, John, it was real. It was so real. Look, I know you’re the one carrying a burden here. I wish there was another way. No, I, I’ll do it. I’ll do it. I, I want to do it for my mom. All three of them deserve justice and we are gonna get it for ’em.

Lucas

El, I. Didn’t hear you come in. Is that my dad on the phone? I thought you weren’t speaking to him after what he did to mom.

How do we do this? Is this, is this like a regular trial? Do we get a lawyer or do we represent ourselves? Well, you didn’t let me finish before. Um, Kate Kayla, you’re not going anywhere. What do you mean? I mean that the boss man has agreed to see one person and only one person, and that one person is you.

Arlena.

Sonny, I I love that you want to come with me, but I, I can’t let you pack up and leave stm

you saying No, I’m saying it’s not up to me. Victor’s not gonna let you run Titan from New Zealand. And you, and you think Gabby’s gonna let us take Ari to the other side of the world. I actually already talked to Gabby and you know, after some persuading she agreed to let Ari come with us. Apparently.

That’s actually what Ari wants. And, and you know, of course she’ll come for frequent visits

when he is, are you saying, I’m saying that you’re what matters to me. Okay. Whatever happens with, with. Whatever. I don’t care. We’ll figure it out. Okay. I love you. Will. I never want to be separated from you ever again.

I know it’s easy to explain this away, but it was not a dream, John. I swear.

I see how you’re looking at me. Just come on, man. Don’t worry, you’re a little too late for that.

I wish I could tell you I’m fine, but I’m not.

I’m gonna carry this grief with me for the rest of my life now that I underst. And that’s why we’re going after ort, isn’t it? Yeah. And killing him. He’s not gonna put a dent in what we’ve lost, but our wives need to be avenged. I mean, after last night, I believe that more than ever,

It is time to hook up with Roman.

Now that we have the women, we love to, it’s

your dad called to ask about the funeral. I’m sure. Love to talk to you if you’re up to. Yeah.

Hey dad. Hey sweetheart. It’s really good to hear your voice. Are you okay? Yeah. Grandma Kate’s service was beautiful. I wish they’d let you be there. Yeah, me too. I keep thinking how hard it must be for you to be stuck in there with your grief and have no outlet for it.

Hey, uh, listen, d don’t you worry about me, okay? You just don’t, you just lean on the people who love you and take care of yourself and Henry. I will. Thanks. Oh, listen, the guard is telling me that I, I gotta cut it short, so I gotta go. Okay. Um, I’ll talk to you soon. I hope so. Hey, listen, tell Grandpa Roman then.

I’m glad we talked. I will. I. I love you more than you’ll ever know

you are. All right. Yeah. But I was just wondering something, what is it? When I came in, I heard you telling my dad something about. Grandma Kate, grandma Marlena, and Aunt Kayla deserved justice and that you were going to get it for them. What did you mean by that?

We should have known there’d be a catch look, I don’t like this anymore than you do, but I think if we have one option, we’ve gotta take it. I agree. And, and I, I, I’ve beaten the devil twice. That’s one way of looking. So if I can do this, I’ll, I’ll, I’ll meet with them and then I’ll just get all of our souls back.

Can we stop wasting time already? Because this discussion is moot. No one here gets a vote. It’s, it’s Doc Evans or no one? No.

Okay. Okay. I’ll go with you. Just your.

I, I, I know how much running Titan means to you, and my brother is more than willing to step up. He already did when I was in the hospital. Remember, it’s all under. And I’ll be working remotely. And as for me and Ari, we could do whatever we want. Yo, we could hike from one end of the country to the other.

See everything there is to see. There’s just one thing stopping us. What

you,

I’ve got everything Figure. All of our ducks are in a row for some reason, you still seem to be against us, and don’t you wanna be able to do this

well, everybody’s having a rough time of it these days. Doubly worst for your dad. So when you were talking about justice, yeah, we all want justice for your grandmother’s friend, Kayla, but your dad being in prison, he feels helpless. I was just trying to reassure Well that’s very kind of you considering your feelings about him.

Oh, I still have issues with Lucas, but we’re family and uh, case death reminded me of. Really important. Thank you.

And I really hope that what you said to my dad comes true that justice is served, we’re working.

Okay, it’s time. Yes it is.

Where is he? Where is he? Where’s Orpheus? I’m not his keeper. No, but I know he’s got you in his back pocket. So why don’t you find him for me? You find him and you tell him I want to talk to him asap.

We heard you with Ali. Sorry you had to lie to her. Yeah. Well we’re just lucky she didn’t come in a minute earlier. I’m glad I could keep her Octa Sun. So are we good? Not having any second thoughts? No, no. I’m still all in. Good. Because when the day comes and I see Doc again, I want to tell her that her.

Did not go veed. Okay. Well you can go ahead Marlena. He’s uh, right down there. He’s anxious to meet with you again. I don’t see anything. Trust me. You don’t want me to ruin this for you? Well, how are you?

Well, I guess I’m on my. From now on.

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Hello, Marlene and Darling

Tell me, did you miss me? I certainly have missed you,

This is really happening, isn’t it? You, you’re, you’re really coming to New Zealand. Yeah. I mean, don’t you think we deserve it after everything we’ve been through together? , I, I, I, I couldn’t be Lumina pitch it. I mean, I’m always the one leaving and, and putting pressure on us. Look, we’ve both put our fair share of stress on this relationship, but we.

Also make things right when we have to because what we have is worth it.

It’s worth everything. You’re making a bigger sacrifice though. Okay. Sure. Maybe this time, but if history is any guide, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to step up to the plane in the future. I will. I will. I. I have no doubt. I love you. Funny. I love you too. I, I can’t wait to tell you that every day in person, and not over stupid video.

Chad

Well, I, I, I, I guess we have a, a bunch of people to share the news with buttons.

God, I just keep on thinking that what if this isn’t real? Which part? Well, all of it. You mean what if instead of meeting with the devil, I wish Marlena away. Do you know? No, no, no, no, no, no. I, you know what? I, I, I can’t go there. I have to believe that this is not a trick. I, I have to, I have to believe that we are going to have a chance to change our fate, and I need you to believe that too.

Okay. Well, you know, I’m more of a, the soul’s half empty kind of gal, so Yeah. Yeah. I understand. But now is the time to have faith. We are in this together. God, I have to be in the afterlife. I am grateful that I’m here with you and Marlena. Oh, come on. This is what I hate about this place. What’s your problem?

Ah, it’s just so much peace and understanding, man. And by the way, I thought your funerals were sappy. Oh, you were there. You saw a family. How? Oh, not great. Yeah, they were really, really sad. Especially your husband, Steve. What about him? Oh, just he was a rack, you know, tears streaming down his will from his eye.

But this isn’t news to you, right? Because. You paid him a little visit last night, didn’t you?

So is Lucas all set on his end? Yeah, I went through everything with him. He’s till on board. Oh. Bringing booze back into his life. That’s a dangerous game. Yeah, he knows that he gets it, but uh, we can count on him. How about you? Ready. You’re born ready. Orpheus won’t know what hit him.

I hear you. Want to talk to me. What took you so long? What’s matter with you? Nothing. I are you drunk? Not drunk enough. That’s the problem.

Empty, huh? Yeah. I need more. You drank this awful way fast. Considering you didn’t want it

easy. What you gonna do? You gonna make me say it? I gotta beg you. You of all people. Say what? Today’s my mother’s funeral and I missed it. Sorry to hear that. No you’re not. No you’re not. Cuz you killed her, you bastard. But if I’m gonna make it through today, I’m gonna need more of that right now. I see. You gonna help me or not

Doug? Long time. No sea dear. I, I don’t understand. Has Doug passed away? Doug is very much alive. He’ll probably live forever. But how? Why? I thought assuming a familiar face might make you feel more comfortable. Besides if you saw my real face, yours would just absolutely melt away. , I’m glad you so amused by all.

Can we stop wasting time? Let’s get down to business. How may I help you?

So you guys are just leaving today, just like. Um, I mean that was basically my reaction when Sonny said it, but now I, I see how much sense it makes. Wow. I mean, I’m go ahead and miss you both so much, but I’m happy for you. This is exciting, . Yeah, thanks. I’m pretty excited too, . Thank you. Have so much going on here.

This couldn’t have been easy for you. Yeah, but you know, I’m not thinking life ever. I mean, when I, I first came up with this whole thing, I kept worrying about all the details and then I don’t know what just kind of hit me. Yeah. Being happy is all that really matters, and once I accepted that fact, everything else just falls into place.

Yeah. You okay Ellie? I was just thinking.

What if Henry and I come along,

it must hurt missing your mother’s funeral knowing it’s because you kidnapped your ex-wife. Consequences.

You stay put. I’ll be back in a few.

Oh, and I thought I made it clear I didn’t kill your mother. So stop saying it. Oh, we’re done

now. You did kill her. You sick bastard. Hey, today you’re gonna pay for it.

What is he talking? What is he ever talking about? No, no, no, no, no. Nice try. KK seems your pal went solo last night and didn’t tell you so much for the all For one and one for all bit. Um, Kate, Kayla, you naughty, naughty girl. What did you do? Tell you what she did. She went off and she made unauthorized contact with her husband.

Thought he could get her outta here. You saw Steve. How? How indeed? Yeah, sure. We’ll all admit, Steve’s a miracle worker, but even he’s not gonna get you out of this one.

I hope our wives are looking down on us right now and they understand that we’re doing this for them. Yeah, I wish I was going with you. Nah, it’s better to have someone on the outside in case this whole thing goes sideways. Well, they won’t because it can’t. This has to work. We got justice on our side and we got those three angels up in heaven looking out for us.

Good luck.

All right, come on Lucas. Please don’t fail us.

You have it? Where is it? Take it easy. Take it easy. Uh, not so fast. This being a sad, sad day. I think it’s only fitting and, and proper that we honor your mother by drinking a toast to her together.

Uh, I drink alone. I don’t share. Oh, don’t worry about. There’s plenty more where this came from. You first

Orpheus Ola for group therapy. Am I, I must have lost track of time.

All right. Let’s do this.

You know exactly why I’m here. I came to challenge those bogus contracts that your minion tripped us into signing. These contracts.

Look, we’ve known each other long enough for you to know that I am not impressed by those parlor games. Sit around. Are these not your signatures? Well, yes, yes, yes. But they were gotten under false pretenses, so they’re, they’re not enforce. On Earth maybe, but this is hell different down here. Here we encourage, uh, a certain lawlessness know why.

Here earth is desperately trying to catch up. , what do you know? Self, self-esteem. Look, I know you want our souls. I understand all that, but can, can’t you just get them in the normal way? Do you have to try to trick us? I am marette after all the devils. Yes, indeed you are. You’re not some cheap con man. You are the most powerful force of evil in the universe.

I’m flattered. You shouldn’t feel flattered. This, this tricking us, make you feel proud. You see, I think it makes you look weak, and I think you agree.

Do you? Do you want to leave Salem with us? Where is this all coming from? I know it may seem impulsive, which is exactly what I accuse my brother of being, but it makes sense to me. When I was sitting at those funerals today, I was thinking about the lives that our grandma sled and Kayla too, you know, they lived without fear.

No regrets. They took chances. Yeah, they did. What? But what about, you know, everything you’d be leaving behind? Well, um, Chanelle and I broke up, actually, she broke up with me. I’m sorry. I I didn’t know that. Hey, your loss, huh? No, this one’s on me. I, um, I slept with Alex. I thought that Chanel and Johnny were hooking up behind my back and I was wrong.

Okay. Well, did, did my brother take advantage of you? No, no, no. If anything, I was the aggressor. Well, I mean, are, are you sure it’s over between you and Chanel? I mean, you don’t want to stay and fight for her or, mm-hmm. I know Chanel, once she’s made up her mind about something, pushing her is just the worst thing I could possibly.

You know, I’ll always love her, but I think that we could both use the time and space to grow on our own. Cool. What about your job? You know, I’m gonna have to quit. Could you go to work every day if your boss was the person you cheated on? Okay. That’s that’s a fair point. Yeah. And I talked to dad today and he told me to lean on the people I love and to do whatever’s best for me and Henry.

Less good advice. Yeah, I’m a single mom. No job, no prospects. We buried our grandmothers today. I just, I really could use something positive in my life for Henry’s sake too, honestly. We may never get this opportunity again, you know, to, to recharge and reboot. We’re better than the most beautiful place in the world with two of my favorite people.

Are you sure? I can’t think of anywhere. I’d rather be. It sounds like heaven on earth. I can see in those glowing eyes of your. Nick and his games are beneath you that there’s no satisfaction in, in tricking silly mortals. It was a bitter experience losing du you twice. Yeah. Well that’s understandable.

What’s more, I hate losing and it’s not as though I. Morally opposed to cheating? Well, of course not. But don’t you wanna win without cheating? Don’t you wanna prove finally, once and for all that you are stronger than I am? It is difficult to know which path to take, but one path must be taken. It is this path or it is this path.

All right, I have made my decision.

So you actually contacted Steve, I’m not gonna lie to you. I, I believe I did. Well, you talked, you talked to him. Did he talk, did he talk back? I mean, did he see you? How, how No. I, I don’t know, but I was just, I was just so desperate. I was desperate to close to him and let him know that I’m okay. How could you do this?

I could have talked to Roman, I could have talked to Lucas. How could you not let me know?

Where is Ory is? Stay. Wait more? I need more. Why are you still standing here? I told you. Go get him today. Are you okay? Pardon’s Walters, you got an inmate down? Request assistance and send them to the infirmary set.

So

well, a little while ago I was headed back to New Zealand alone and cuz now we might as well charter our own flight cuz nothing would make me happier. Please come, Allie. It’ll be, it’ll be great for all of us. Okay. New Zealand. Very good.

You just tell me, tell me how I can reach my family. Sorry, but that had nothing to do with me. Okay. Kayla. Clever little devil that she is found a way around our firewall. The point is, it’s been plugged up. Right. It’s all gonna happen again. Damn you. Wow. You’re a little late on that front. You know? I’m gonna keep trying.

Go ahead. Keep. It’s not gonna happen again. Which is a shame because in reviewing our tapes, it looks like there’s gonna be some interesting developments today. What are you talking about

gema them? There’s murder in the air. Who’s murder? Okay. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but Steve, John. They’re going to avenge your deaths. Bye killing Orpheus today. Oh my God.

Okay. Everything should be starting to come together right about now.

Hey, who’s in that booze? You gave that train? Wreck reporting. What do you mean he passed out? Trunk is a skunk. I just sent him to the infirmary. Huh. Well, maybe you can’t handle his liquor like a lot of drugs. A loser.

Mom. Mom, I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry, mom. Mr. Horton. Mr. Horton, can you hear me? I’m gonna find you a doctor.

Dr. Kayla Johnson,

Kate Roberts. Brady, I can’t believe that I’m saying this. I am willing to tear up these contract. Oh, thank God in exchange, Marlena, in exchange, you must stay by my side throughout all eternity. You still think I’m cheating?

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 If you’d prefer to go somewhere else. Oh, I’m, I’m fine. Really? Yes. Valentine’s Day. Every place is gonna be busy and I’m starving. You don’t mind spending the evening in the same room with them please? If he can take it. I can. As you wish. Uh, table for two under the name of tj, the math.

This should be fun. Could we possibly have another table? Not tonight, I’m afraid.

Usually I think of Valentine’s Day as like a commercial rip off. But this just got far more interesting.

Whoa. Sorry. Oh, oh, that, that’s, uh, it’s okay. Yeah. I hope it didn’t mess up. Chanel’s flowers. Oh, um, these are actually not for Chanel. They’re for.

Guess you changed your mind.

It’s you let me. You were hoping it was Gabby

Lee. You have to face reality. Okay? You totally blew it with her silver.

I love you, Stephen. I love you too. Chloe did. Did you just hear what you said? Yeah. You don’t want me to tell you I love you. Oh, I know. I, I can’t believe you just said that. You, you said that you love me, but then you called me Chloe.

You came back to me, girls, would I be on our anniversary?

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

Huh?

Why are they recruiting at each other? Like a couple of idiots? I thought she was just rebound sex. No, he’s. Staring at her like she hung the damn moon, Nicole, and they’re having Valentine’s Day dinner together. Hey Nicole, so are we.

Yeah, but it’s just to celebrate the Italian deal. It’s also the proper dinner date I promised you. And it can be as romantic as you want it to be.

What’s wrong,

Nicole? She let on. Her and EJ were, something was going on between them. I thought she was just trying to get to me and now she’s holding hands with him. She’s probably sleeping with him too, and sadly that’s tail bothers you.

And I know you think there’s something going on between Chanel and me and that I’m, Hey, look, you owe me no explanation, man. All right. If you and Mindy work things out, I think that’s great. Thanks. Uh, so you got big plans tonight? Uh, yeah. Yeah. I’m supposed to meet her in a couple minutes. We’re gonna go see a movie.

Cool. And look, I wanted to say that I’m, uh, I’m sorry if I screwed up your date with her last night. I don’t know if anybody told you, but Yeah, my brother Joey called her and told her that I needed her. Does he do that a lot? Yeah. I don’t know what’s gotten into him. Uh, he wants to play Max Maker, I guess, and for some reason he’s decided that I was interested in Wendy.

Hmm. Is he right?

Okay. What happened now? I asked Gabby if she’d have dinner with me and she’d turned me down flat. I’m sorry, Lee. What are you doing here on Valentine’s today? I was just checking up on me. Right. I can see. I am lonely, unemployed, possibly about to go to prison. Yeah. Can I offer a suggestion? Sure.

Okay. What you did behind Gabby’s back was big. I know what I did. I don’t need a Lexus. So if you want her back, you have to start small. Ask her if she’ll go for coffee, try to be her friend. Don’t invite her to Valentine’s Day dinner. I don’t want to be Gabby’s. She’s still my wife legally, but the only man she wants is her last husband, Stephan, the guy you had brainwashed.

I know Jane One. No.

I did not call you Chloe. I I wouldn’t do that. I heard you clearly. You said, I love you too, Chloe. Okay. If, if I called you Chloe, it’s only because I’ve been worried about her. You’re worried about her. You’re about to take me upstairs to bed. Why? Why are you even worried about Chloe? Because, Right. She ran outta here last night after Wolf was taken into custody, and I even heard from her since I’ve left her three messages, she’s ignored all of them.

Even when I called her earlier, she, wait, hold on a second. You, you called her earlier tonight on Valentine’s Day? Yeah. Before or after you called me.

I don’t underst. How can you be here? I had to see you on our anniversary tonight. I had to tell you much. I love you and I love you with all my heart.

No, this, this isn’t real. It. I had too much to drink. This is not real. I think I resent that. Weird. This isn’t some, it’s real. I’m.

I am not bothered.

I’m just tired of people telling me that I’m not over.

I have to admit maybe I’m not,

and now you’re afraid that she’s over. I was the one who divorced her. She has every right to move on. I just wish she wasn’t with that jackass.

You know, Eric could have any woman he wants. I don’t know why he’s settling for that trampy. Trouble making ambulance chasing.

I am sorry. No, uh, do, do, go on. No, I I don’t wanna spend the rest of the evening talking about him.

Okay. I’m gonna make a toast

to our first proper dinner.

I just don’t understand, Gabby, why would a woman like her waste her time on a man who loves someone else? Oh, if she said anything like me. She’s trying to believe that he loves her more. I wasn’t talking about you and Johnny. Can I pour you some wine? I better not. I have plans tonight

with Johnny. Last time we talked to you said you two were over. Turns out there was a misunder. I talked to Gabby and she encouraged me to not give up so easily. She said that Johnny’s a good guy, that I should fight for him. Sounds like something she’d say. Go, have a wonderful time. You sure you’ll be okay?

I’m just glad one of us. Have a happy Valentine’s Day.

All right. Look, Gabby, I, I’ll say it.

I called Chloe before I called you. Wow. Just wow. Look, it’s only because C comes before G in my contact list. Oh, hey Hernandez comes before L. You idiot. Cut you. Unbelievable. You know, I’ve been through a lot, so have I. I lost the love of my life and I thought you were gone forever. And then you invite me here tonight on Valentine’s Day.

I thought you’d made a decision that you realize that I’m the one you want. Well, maybe you just assumed that’s what I wanted. Oh my God. Your brain. Your brain is really scrambled. Okay. So what you, you hit the wrong button. Is that what it is? No, that is not true. I knew exactly what I was doing when I called you.

So you, you didn’t hit the wrong button. You meant to call me. That’s right. But only after Chloe didn’t pick up. What if, what if she had pick. Would I even be here tonight?

I mean, Wendy and I met last summer and uh, and Joy was there and what he, he thought you to hit it off. I mean, yeah. She and I are friends and, uh, and can’t what, sorry. I’m late. I stopped to check on my brother you YouTube talking about. Uh, no, we actually just ran into each other, or I, I did. Yeah. Literally, literally.

And, uh, Johnny here was telling me that you two work things out and I was about to say that. I’m really happy for you. Have fun tonight. Happy Valentine’s Day. Yeah, same to you.

Uh, these are for.

My God, that’s so sweet of you.

How can this be happening? How can you even be here? I guess I was able to, because. I really need your help. Why The good place Heaven? It’s.

So how long do you think we have to stay out? You mean to give Stephan space? Yes. For whatever the hell he’s planning. I have no idea what he has in mind. Well, he’s streaming if he thinks he. Stringing Chloe and Gabby along. How do you believe I heard that uh, Chloe was not returning his calls. She left town haw.

She’s had it. Brady lied to her about why Kristen moved in and now they’re a mess. And she thought she had something with Stefan until she found out that he was programmed a fall for her. Are you ready to order? Um, yeah, you know, I’ll have, uh, what she’s having. Oh, she needs a little steak off of law, I think.

Sorry, she got the last order, wouldn’t she? Just, um, I’m, let me need a few minutes.

That steak is so good.

Why don’t they just take it back to her place? I’m sure they will eventually.

I am not lying. I really was gonna call you. Okay. Really? So you were gonna invite me and Chloe to dinner and then what you were hoping for? A threesome? No. I mean, unless you’re into that sort of thing, I’m not you, pig.

Look what you’ve gone and done. Well, you deserve it. I, I can’t believe I was actually gonna sleep with you tonight. Please don’t be upset. Oh, I’m way past upset. My brother had to give me a pep pack tonight. He told me to focus on the fact that you realize that you love me. But it’s hard to focus on that when you love Chloe.

Hi. Wait. Are you seriously leaving right now? Oh, can’t believe it. Well, that’s not just Stephan, Gabby. Wait, I, your brother was right. I really do love you. Okay, well, when you decide I’m the only woman you love, call me. Then.

If heaven’s not working out, then stay here with. . I can’t, you know that, but, but, but strange up there. At first I was, I was in some sort of locked room. A vox room in heaven. Yeah. And then all of a sudden Adrian was there with me. Adrian, you saw her? Yeah. It, it, it was wonderful. She said she was going to be my guide on the next part of my journey, baby.

I’m so glad she was there with you. Except implicit. Really, Adrian. In fact, it was Nick Fallon pretending to be Adrian, Nick Fallon. Yeah. And when I thought that he was Adrian, he got me to sign a paper there. Papers to sign a paper. Yeah, I know, I know. And I was surprised too, but Nick tricked me into signing away my.

Is there something wrong with the chicken? No. No, not at all. It’s. PDA at the next table has killed my appetite. What’s your. I just have a bit of a headache again here. Oh, yeah. You know, you don’t, you don’t feel like you have a fever. I, I just feel a bit off. Oh, maybe my hangover from hell was really a bug that I passed on.

You. You know what, um, I’m gonna see if they have any extra as friend line. Really? It’s not necessary. Well, if you. Headache. You should take something for it. We need another bottle of wine.

You want me to read it for you? Yeah. I left my glass in the car. What? I’ll be right back.

My keys.

We have servants for that. You know, I can take care of it.

Looks like your evening didn’t go very well. Actually, it sucked. Gabby walked out on me.

This is Mr. Shin. I’d like to order dinner for. Someone’s out the door. I’ll call you back. If you cut your day short because of me. Hi Gabby. I, I was just wondering if that dinner invitation was still open. Oh, of course it is. Please come in.

I thought people only sold their souls to the devil in books and movies. Well, I, I didn’t sell my soul. I, I signed it away not knowing, and, and so did Marlena and Kate. So now you have to read the fine print in heaven. Somebody needs to help us, baby. You know, I would do anything to help you. You know that, but I don’t get this.

Heaven is not supposed to be a place of corruption. Well, maybe we’re not at heaven. Maybe we, maybe we get sidetracked somehow. How? I don’t know exactly, but I, whenever I’m in trouble, you’re the one I turn to. I mean, how many times have you rescued me? I wish I could have saved you this time. Well, I mean, not a, it’s not a loss.

I mean, I don’t know. Please, please. I’m just asking this last time. Please just help me. Just tell me what to do.

Dad, are you okay?

Who? Who are you talking to?

Kayla. Kayla. She was here. Yeah. That’s not. No, she, she was here. She, she told me she needed my help. She said, Nick Fallon tricked her into selling her soul to the devil. I, it was a dream. I, I, I heard you talking in your team. No, no. I swear she was right here. I know, I know. You, you’ve, you’ve, that’s been thinking about her all day nonstop.

I mean, today’s your wedding anniversary. Tomorrow’s your funeral. And it looks like you’ve had a certain amount of beer, which, which I, I totally get.

Maybe you’re right.

It felt so real.

Excuse me. Excuse me.

You know, I was worried about you after you’ve fainted, but you seem fine today. Oh, I, I told you it was nothing. How are you doing? I’m fine. Well, it’s seems hard to believe being at your mother’s funeral is tomorrow. I’m Kate and ca. I’m driving her not talk about that right now. Well, I just wanted to say that I was thinking about you and your family, but forget it.

Oh, I forgot about your,

I forgot my glasses. Just forget about it. I’ve had about enough of this for tonight. Can we just go home?

Why don’t I take you home? We’ll go out on a proper, proper dinner. Dates another matter.

I am curious why you’re here. You made it clear on the phone, you had no interest in seeing me. You said we should talk about the divorce, and I realized you were right. There’s ways I can drag out your divorce in court for months, maybe even years. And granted, I could get expensive. I don’t want a divorce, but I know you do and I love you enough to want you to be happy.

So I’m gonna talk to my lawyer and ask her to get the ball. Are you serious? You’re not me. I’m always serious by you. Anyway, well, um, thank you. I need to thank me. It’s the least I could do,

dude. You really called her Chloe. I didn’t mean. Obviously I’m still not thinking straight. So my brother’s fault and my Aunt Kristen’s. And my dad’s, yeah. It was everybody’s pet project. Well, I hear Dr. Rolf’s gonna be released on bail. Maybe you can finish undoing what he did to you. Yeah. But you scroll back to being the guy you were before all this happened.

Right. I mean, the way I hear it, you were totally in love with Gabby back then, and was this links that you have for Chloe. Wolf’s idea, so he should be able to make them disappear. Weird thing is

I not sure I,

Hey, Hey. What are you doing? Cleaning up after. It’s Valentine’s Day. You should be out with some nice girl. Ah, no. The nice girls I know already have a day. What about, um, Wendy, why’d you what her? I don’t know. I heard you and Joe talking about her. Why don’t you give her a call? What have you got to lose? I self, self-respect.

She already has plans. How can anybody want to stay brainwashed? Yeah, that’s what I’d like to know. Like what Ralph did. It only made me show up at Chloe’s door. Okay. That’s it. The rest was me. I started talking to Chloe and I remembered how much I liked her and this was well before Gabby and I were anything serious.

And I, Chloe and I, we were getting somewhere and that was not Rolf’s idea. And then the truth came out and yeah, I remembered how much I love Gabby.

And they really messed with your head. They did, but I don’t feel brainwashed. It must be pretty confusing though. It is. You know what? Who says it’s not possible to have deep feelings for two different people? I can only imagine what that’s like. Yeah. You know the thing is, I mean, stringing two women along like that, it doesn’t seem very,

Oh, uh, mine, if we join the party, actually it’s more of a wake. Have you had dinner? Uh, no. I was just about to order room service. I can order for two. Gabby, I’m sorry. What? I just realized that. You’re not with Stephan tonight and it’s Valentine’s dish. Well, I was with him and we were gonna make love for the first time in forever.

Hmm. What happened? Nothing. You’ve been obsessing over him since you found out he was alive. What stopped you tonight?

We, um, he called me Chloe. He called me Chloe

Oh, um, that Valentine’s Day was a bus. I’m sorry. He didn’t even get the dessert. Oh, I still think we can manage to salvage the evening. Assuming you still wanna do that. I know tonight was awkward, and tomorrow’s gonna be one of the worst days of your life. So if you wanna just call it an evening, I’ll understand.

But on the other hand, if you wanna rip off all my clothes, unfor, forget about everything else in the world. Come up for that.

I don’t know what was going on downstairs with your brother, but I, I didn’t wanna hang around and find out, nor did I se there’s enough awkwardness for this evening, huh? Hmm. On that subject, I heard what Eric said to you tonight. About what about you Fainting in the park. Why didn’t you tell me? It’s just a couple of seconds.

This is no big. Well, it is to me why? Well, you’ve said that you changed your mind about us, you know, sleeping together. Hmm. And if it had happened and you weren’t feeling well, I would’ve felt like a.

How gentleman Lee, how I mentioned how lovely and desirable you look this evening. Huh? We’ve been taking one day at a time for exactly one day now. And you didn’t seem so reluctant yesterday.

I suppose that was the alcohol talking. I dunno why I’m, I mean, only had two drinks.

How about a kiss night?

Well, that sounds like an excellent next step. Mm-hmm.

Stop laughing. This is not funny. , come on. You have to admit it’s a little bit funny. I don’t have to admit anything to you. Why don’t you admit that this whole nightmare is all your fault? If you hadn’t gone and played God with Stephan’s life and mine, I did that because I was am crazy about. And I’ll tell you something else.

Rolf could do whatever he wanted to me. He could brainwash me, he could pump me full of whatever drugs he wanted to and that would not change. I would still be crazy in love with you and it makes me sick that Stephan’s playing both ends against the middle when he could have you all to himself, Gabby, cuz that’s all I ever wanted.

And if I ever went a little overboard, that’s why

a little law report, okay, maybe.

Stay for dinner.

Why not? Girls gotta eat, right?

No. If you’re hungry. My kitchen’s waiting to serve oysters and Chateau Breon for too. I hate to see you go to waste. Wow. We were just gonna have popcorn for dinner. Well, we’re gonna stream evil dead too, so you really know how to treat a woman on Valentine’s Day. Seem to be doing better than you did.

Touche, nephew, enjoy your night.

I don’t know, maybe he’s right. If, if you wanna watch something else, you know, I don’t care what we watch. I just wanna be with you.

I think I want to go to bed. Oh, okay. I, I understand with you. I want just what you said. I want to forget about everything else in the world be with you.

Well, I, uh, I guess this is good night,

right?

Oh, what the hell?

Are you sure? Yes. I mean, unless. Unless you’re not

here, this will restore your electrolyte balance. Electrolytes, huh? Yeah, you’ll feel better. Thanks Dr. Johnson.

You’re a good son. You know that. I love you, dad. I love you too, buddy.

Are you gonna, are you gonna get some sleep? Yeah, I will eventually. Uh, you, you, go ahead now. Tomorrow’s gonna be a long, hard day. Yeah. Hi, dear.

From the very first minute I laid eyes on you, you had my heart through everyth. All the years, even the times we were apart, my heart belonged to you. Only you

I, I love you with all of my be and I always will. And that is a valve that can never be broken. I know I could never love another man the way I love you.

I just, I love you. I love your courage and your, your kindness, your passion, your smart and funny and so sexy.

I love your devotion to your.

I will never get tired of looking at your handsome face for the rest of my life. But I’m gonna tell you right now, this is the last time I am doing this . Okay? It’s the last time, okay? I’m never, never letting you go again. Do you understand me?

God, how am I supposed to let you go? Sweetness

seeing you here. Boy, it’s just so real.

Where are you baby? You know that I would go anywhere to the ends of the earth and beyond to help.

My vow to you is the same as it’s always been the same as it was on our wedding day.

I will love you till the end of time.

Happy anniversary Sweden

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Happy Valentine’s Day with love Stephanie.

Chloe, it’s, it’s me again. Listen, I know. Left you about 20 messages since you checked out of the Salem end, but here’s the deal. I’m worried about you. I have no idea where you are and, and everyone I’ve talked to hasn’t seen you or heard from you. I have

Nicole. We have been trying for months to close that Italian deal with Basic Black, and by God she. ej? Yes. I was just saying Nicole was on fire in that meeting. Hmm. Unlike me, you were a bit, uh, off your game more than a bit. I, I don’t know what’s wrong with me today. You kept losing your train of thought in that meeting.

I thought those execs were gonna walk, but Nicole, thank God she was there to save us and bring us home.

You all right, brother? I’m just a bit foggy again. It’ll pause since I know what you need. A good stiff drink. ? Huh? Can I pour it for you? Sure. Thank you, Stephen. My pleasure.

What is taking so long? Hello to you too, Gabby. No, the, when I left here yesterday, Jada said that she’d called me when you were ready to release Ralf. And why haven’t I heard from anybody? Because he hasn’t been released yet. Well, you need to do that right now so we can finish fixing Stephan. As I told you before, I am more than happy to do that as soon as the good doctor comes through with the goods on your husband.

Just spoke to Rolf and he wrote a long statement detailing everything you’ve done to Stephan Damira. But as his attorney and as yours, I convinced him not to sign. It made him see that it was his best chance to avoid being charged. Good. Speaking of charges, I got your first bill. No. No, honey. I may be easy, but I ain’t cheap.

What’s the matter, Lee? I just made the Roth problem go away. Yet you still don’t seem happy. No, I am. But now I just want to know what you’re gonna do about my Gabby problem,

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

Not a fan of roses.

Oh, uh uh Stefan needs. , go back to Gabby. Yeah, I, I’m, I’m pretty sure that was the idea behind the deprogramming that she forced him to do yesterday. Did you hear about that? Yeah. Anna told me, did Gabby really take Stephan prisoner and put him in the demerit basement? Yeah. Ralph showed up to zap his brain and the machine he was using, well, it broke halfway through the procedure.

So Stephan does love Gabby now, but he also still loves Chloe. Poor guy. Poor guy. You, you feel sorry for him? Yeah, really? I do. I do. I feel a little sorry for him. I mean, he was brainwashed and in the middle of getting it undone. All’s equipment craps out. That, that, that, that’s just it. I don’t think a guy needs to be, be getting his brain undone or un zapped or whatever you want to call it, in order to understand that he should be with Gabby.

Well, yeah. Then you should be with Chloe and I even, I even told stiff that after the procedure. I told him that I believe that you and Chloe together, and I was, I was glad that he decided to let her go, except he. Yeah. Well, okay. Hold on. Hold on. You, you spoke to Chloe, is she okay? Kind of, yeah. What does that mean,

Brady? She’s freaked out and, and why shouldn’t she be? I, I mean, for the last few weeks she’s been on this insane rollercoaster ride. Caught between you and S Stephan. Yeah, but Anna told me that she went to the Demer mansion specifically to tell Stephan. She didn’t want them to see each other anymore.

Well, yeah, because she wasn’t sure if his feelings for her were real or manufactured by, by Ralf. And of course, she gets there and finds out that his feelings for Gabby are back and it’s just, it was just too much for her. She just had to get out of there. Dad, get out. Okay. Okay. Okay. Tell you know what, just, just tell me where she is.

Oh, Nick Brady. Tell me where she is. I, I, I can’t. Come on, just, just tell me where she is. I can’t, why?

Because she doesn’t wanna see you either.

Brady. Brady, listen to me. She is still upset that you dumped her out of the blue and moved Kristen in. Oh my God. Your place. Oh my God. But now she knows why I had to do it. Yeah, but she doesn’t understand why you didn’t confide in her first. I couldn’t. I couldn’t. Kristen was blackmailing. Still, Chloe wishes that you told her what was going on so she could help you.

She wishes that you trusted her. I, I do trust her. Nick, of course, I trust her. Kristen was threatening me. She told me that if anybody found out that she would destroy the work. Okay, and then, then the three women would die. Oh, but they, they did anyway, didn’t they?

You know, maybe you’re right. Maybe I should have said something. Only, I would’ve said something, told someone. Maybe my dad or Chloe, maybe. Maybe they would’ve been saved. Hmm. Brady, what happened to those women is not your fault.

Maybe not, maybe. I don’t know. What I do know is they’re gone and I. Matter what you say. I just, I, I j I just, I just, it’s too much. This, this, this tragic set of circumstances. Losing Chloe. I mean, what is next? Huh? You haven’t lost Chloe. Okay. She’s, you haven’t lost her. She’s just overwhelmed and she needed some space.

Brady, listen to me. I told you that I am on your side and you know that I want you and Chloe to be together. What if we’re stuck and this, this, this love limbo indefinitely? No. No. Nobody, nobody wants that. Even Stephan admitted it’s untenable. Look, sooner or later, hopefully sooner, Ralph will finish the procedure and everything will go back to the way it.

You with Chloe and Stephan, with Gabby.

Brave. This waiting is his torture. Okay? You need a release for and you need to chill. Chill. How the hell do you want me to chill? My God. You know what it feels like to have the love of your life? Finally, remember, he loves you only to announce that he also loves another woman. Look, if that quack doesn’t finish this job, it could stay this way forever.

I am sorry sis. I really am. I feel for you, which is why I am trying to get the information on your husband. Oh, please, can you stop calling him that? Cause I don’t wanna be reminded that I’m still married to that snake. Yes, I am sorry. I know how much Lee hurt you, which is why I am trying to get the evidence so that I can charge him.

Well, last time I was here, Roe was ready to write a statement. Yes. And he wrote it. And then Sloane Peterson walked in. Why? Well, apparently she is his attorney now and she, uh, somehow kept him from signing on the dotted line.

As you know, my wife is infatuated with s Stephan Damara and hates my guts. She’s hell bound on to forcing me. If I told you we can fight. How there’s ways I can drag out your divorce in court for months, maybe even years. And granted, I could get expensive. Money won’t be an issue. You just keep me out of prison.

And in my marriage I’ll find a way to get Gabby to forgive me and forget all about Stephan America.

Here you go. Hopefully this will help you shake off the cobwebs. To always looking after each other. And of course it’s a family. Whoa. Hey, I wanna get in on this. No. Why are you, uh, I, uh, heard about your impromptu session with Dr. Rolf and Na Geo. Got your feelings from Gabby back? I did. . Yeah. Well, glad that you’re, uh, back in the right state of mind.

But I do have some reservations about Gabby, as do I, but their reunion isn’t a done deal yet, since Stephan still has feelings for Chloe Lane. Yes, there are worse fates than being in love with two beautiful women. Right? I am not sure I agree with that one, but, uh, since it’s Valentine’s Day, I’ll drink to your fate.

first. I need a drink. Here. Take, take my

nick. Come on. Can. Hey, it’s Valentine’s Day. I know, I know Brady, but I, I, I promised Chloe that I wouldn’t tell anyone where she is. I just, I just want to, I want to talk to her, but she’s not answering her. I, I just wanna, I just wanna know how she’s doing. I want to be able to say, Hey, clo, it’s Valentine’s Day.

I really miss you. I really hope you’re okay. And by the way, I love you as well. I wanna tell her that Nick, love. She knows Brady. I promise you she knows. Listen, tomorrow is Marlene’s funeral. Okay? So I think that you should just let this go for now. And focus on helping your family get through that.

You’re probably right. That is what I should do. I’ll try. As a matter of fact, I don’t wanna talk about myself anymore. How, how are you? Uh, I’m fine. I, I’m great actually. I mean, we close the. Italian deal. Yes, we did. . I know. I’m very happy about that. That’s good. But uh, what I’m not so happy about is the fact that you called in sick yesterday because of what was, I told a weird hangover.

It was awful. I strange. Really? Because I only had two drinks and I felt like I got hit by a truck. Uhhuh . Ugh. Well, you’re not the only one out there drinking right now. Um, Eric is drinking. Yeah, I know. I ran into him yesterday and I, and his breasts went like beer. Mm. He invited me to join him. What? Yeah.

Yeah. I declined of course, but I’m worried about him. He’s not in a good place. Molly did just lose his mom. It’s definitely part of it. I think there is a little more to it though. Like what you, he misses you. You miss him. I think the two of you miss each other more than you’ll ever. Look, I doubt Eric’s drinking has anything to do with me.

He’s moved on. He prefers hanging out with Sloane Peterson. Yeah, come on. What about you? Speaking of hanging out, I hear that you’ve been hanging out with ej. What’s going on there? Have you moved on? I don’t think I need this right now. You okay? Just a bit of a headache. It’s all yours. Yeah. Let me get you a fresh one.

No, that’s fine. I didn’t, I didn’t touch it.

That’s so strong. What did you put in this? Too much of something. Yeah, I think I’m good. I’m gonna just gonna, I’m gonna, I’ll take a club soda. I’m gonna dump this out. Disgusting.

We’re actually lucky the Ralph isn’t on some Demira island. What’s an umbrella drink? Fortunately the judge saw Ross a flight risk, can deny his. The only place I want wolf to fly to is Seth’s house. So he can fix him. Well, he is not leaving here until he signs that statement, which he just said he won’t do because his lawyer won’t let him.

Yeah. Five minutes with Melinda Trask and he’ll be begging for a pen. She’ll make it clear that he either flips or he’s going away for life. Okay, great. Well, she can put the screws to Ralph after he wipes that Inci Femba from Stephan’s mind. Yeah. Wow. Linda’s gone for the day. So first thing tomorrow. No, I Look, now you’re not hearing me.

I need a sun today. This is Valentine’s Day. Stephan and I should be together. Abby. Abby, why don’t, why don’t you do this? Okay. Why don’t you just take a breath and try and look at things a little bit differently? Right. Okay. You said to me that a few days ago Stefan couldn’t even stand the side of you, and now he is in love with you.

It’s huge. Now, did you miss the part about Chloe? You missed it now. No, but. I bet it’s temporary. Hmm. Okay. It’s temporary. How? You know, what, how do you know that? I mean, he’s not banging my door down or standing, uh, outside my window with a boombox playing our song. What’s your song? Wait, how, how the hell is that relevant?

I was just curious. A good song? Nobody, you don’t have a song? We don’t have a song. Okay. But you know when baby Chloe and, and Stephan do. I bet they do. I bet they had some, some stupid aria from some boring opera. All, all Forget. Look song or no song. Stephan said to you many times that you were the love of his life.

Right? Okay. Well, if I’m the love of his life, then why isn’t he with me? Why are we not together on this idiotic holiday? Hmm. Maybe beat me. Stephan is Mia because he wants Chloe and her giant arias more than he wants me.

Gabby hates you. You’ve told me that multiple times because it’s. And she has good reason too. I can’t deny. Well, as somebody who comes up with winning strategies for a living, I’m curious, what’s your plan to turn that hate back into love?

Stephanie Jada. Hi. Thank you so much for the flowers. That was so thought. I have been meaning to call. Oh, don’t, don’t worry about it. Don’t worry about it. I know you’re dealing with a lot. How are you? How’s your dad? Uh, a mess. We all are. I honestly don’t know how we’re gonna get through my mom’s funeral tomorrow.

Listen, we’re here for you, everyone that loves you and your family, not just tomorrow, but always. I can’t tell you how much I appreci. So how are you? I’m fine. Um, you know, just focus on work. I, um, I heard you and my cousin Eric, broke up a while ago. I mean, it’s, it’s fine. It just wasn’t meant to be more.

Are you still living here? Above the pub? Yeah, I’ve been so busy with work. I haven’t had time to look for a new place, but Eric and I seem to be on different schedules, so that’s cool. You know, we haven’t run into each other much. Hi.

Hmm. What’s going on with you and e. I dunno what you mean. Hmm. Well you haven’t married twice and now you’re living in the guy’s house. So I just was curious as to whether there’s anything romantic going on or am I right and you just can’t seem to get Eric out of your head? You know what? I have a meeting to get to really?

So I want you to hang in there. And I’m sure you and Chloe will get back together before you know it. Mm-hmm.

Well, I should get going. Call me if you need anything. I will, Eric. I’ll see you tomorrow. Yeah. Yeah. Hi.

I’m sorry about your mom and your aunt and your still mom. Thank you. I know you and Kate got close. We did. She was there for me during that time and I’m glad. Nice to see you moved on. And you have two. I heard you’re dating Sloan Peterson.

When we first spoke, you said you didn’t want to get the divorce, but you felt like you had no choice, that there was no way to turn this thing around. Remember what I told you to think outside the box and given your new renewed confidence about letting Gabby back, I’m assuming you took my advice. So what’s the plan?

it’s not, um, fully formed yet. I, I’m certainly open to ideas. Ah-huh . Yeah. Well, uh, the legal side of the divorce that I can handle, but the, um, personal issues, you know, like love and all that stuff. Yeah. That’s not my back. Valentine’s Day for me is just 24 more potentially billable hours. Well, I’ve got the cash.

What’s your take? I love Gabby. She despises me. What’s. Again, I’m no expert, but I can offer my observations, please. I see a man sitting in his hotel room who’s careful and deliberate complete waste of time. If there’s one thing I’ve learned in his life. If you wanna get anything, you have to be aggressive.

Stop worrying about what other people, how they’re gonna feel about what you do, and just do. You sound a lot like Gabby, you know, be beneath her tough exterior. She’s actually a, a big softy, huge romantic. Don’t look Natalie, but I think you found your play. Yes. I shouldn’t try to win Gabby back with logic or reason.

I mean, forget trying to craft the perfect arguments. Change your mind. I. I go straight for her heart.

Ah, here are what shall we toast to next? How about your promising you beginning with Stephanie Johnson? Um, to Stephanie, Stephanie.

All right guys. Sorry to break up the party, but I promised the kids pizza for dinner. So, oh, well send Charlotte and Thomas hugs from their uncles. I will, uh, and, um, good luck with the, uh, situation. They’re gonna need it. See you, John. Thanks Later. Ej, let get you something besides water. Huh? We gotta celebrate our victory.

Thanks Stefan. But I think I’m going to go upstairs and take a shower. Hopefully that’ll clear my out. Thanks.

Relax. Father, I’m not gonna kill. I’m just gonna give him a few more doses. So he goes feeling off to going off the deep end and then he will be out at Damara. Huh? But I will return my attention to vengeance tomorrow, tonight. This is for love. You said after Ralph did his thing, the Stephan said he loved you with all of his.

Yes, he did. And, and we kissed and it was like we’ve never been apart. So that’s why I don’t understand. I mean, Valentine’s Day is almost over and he hasn’t called me yet. Okay, well, I’ll bet, I’ll bet that he’s planning a special surprise for you. You’ll see your phone’s gonna ring any minute.

Told you, well, you were wrong. It’s Lee, what the hell do you want, Gabby? I’m so glad you picked up. Well, I’m not, why are you calling me? It’s Valentine’s Day. Why else would a husband be calling his wife except to invite her over for a romantic dinner? I have already told you on more than one occasion that you nauseate me.

The thought of having a meal with you makes me gag. Okay, well, well we can discuss our divorce then. What If they’re not discussed? I sent you the papers. Just sign them so I can be done with you. Oh, and please do us a favor. Lose my number.

So you told me so, huh? Oh, sorry. I had a good feeling. Oh God. They. Oh my God. Having a missed call from Stephan. You know, he must have called me when I was on the phone with that jerk. Oh my God, he left me a voicemail. We’re on speaker

Gabriela, my love. It’s Valentine’s Day and I can’t stop thinking about you. Please come see me at the house counting the minutes until we’re together again.

Ye of little Faith

Sloan and I are a casual thing. What about you? Are you seeing anyone? No, I’m not really looking to get into anything right now. Judy, I know things didn’t work out, but I want you to know, I think you’re great. You choose to be with will be a lucky person.

Enjoy your night. I will. You too.

Ej. Hello. Are you in here? Ej.

Uh, I, I just wanted to check on you, visit the office earlier. You seemed a little out of it. Oh, I’m, I’m fine now. The shower seems, soo down the tree. What about you? Have you managed to shake off the last of that nasty hangover? Yes. Thank God. It’s, it’s, it’s all done now. Um, wow. I’m, I’m, I’m gonna go. Oh, uh, Nicole, we agreed that when you were feeling better, I’ll take you out to a proper dinner.

Yes. Yeah. Yes, we did. Mm. How you up for it tonight?

I got your message inviting me over, so here I am. You okay? Tomorrow’s wing on me, obviously, but I’m trying not to think.

I’m here. Anything you need. Thank you, Chad. That means a lot. Would you rather be home? No. No, I wouldn’t. I’m exactly where I wanna be. I’m so glad you called. Good. I’m glad you were free. Nice. I was scared that maybe you got a better offer for Valentine’s Day . Well, it could be better than pizza. With my new guy and his two adorable kids,

I guess Gabby’s not coming over. She said the thought of having dinner with me makes her physically ill. But I know beneath all that disgusted, her feelings from me are still there. The passion we shared that doesn’t just go away, so. No Valentine’s Day reunion. Nope. Guess I’ll just waste another night here alone, unless of course, um, you’d like to have dinner with me.

Can’t say I’m not tempted. Hold that thought. Oh, hey, hey. Do you have plans tonight? Possibly break ’em. I think we should have. Sounds good. My place, I’m 30. I was thinking about a restaurant and don’t worry, I won’t suggest the pub because I know how much you ate our clammed shower. Just thinking the bistro.

I’ll see you there.

Sorry. No plans tonight. Gonna have to eat dinner on your own.

Great. Mines cheeseburger. Medium rare, you know it, but, uh, got mine to go better. Would taste better with a beer? I bet it would. Mind if I join you. Be my guest.

You wanna go to dinner tonight? I mean, you you are aware it’s Valentine’s Day. It’s kind of hard not to be. Well, I mean a, a meal was you, I mean that’s, that’s kind of a. Big deal. What happened at the office today? That’s kind of a big deal. One we never would’ve closed if it wasn’t for you. Oh, I’m not so sure about that.

Oh, oh, I do. I was struggling hard today, and you came in with grace and confidence and carried us over the finish line. That is an achievement worth celebrating. That’s very nice of you to say. It is just with the holiday and I, um, this was an Italian deal, right? Mm-hmm. , mm-hmm. . So how about this? Let’s pretend we’re in Rome where it is currently, February 15th.

Just a regular day. Zero expectations when in Rome. Okay. Uh, why don’t you go get trust? And we’ll head out. Okay? Okay.

You. Look great, please. Okay, time out. What’s wrong? Like, I know it’s Valentine’s Day, but I just wanna get one thing straight right off the bat. This is not a date I came for the by, so you can just, you know, get rid of the side order of romance.

You look beautiful.

I hear it. You what? Bas Carmen, the opera. I, I know it’s opera. Yeah. Well, in the Aria era, she sings

love. It’s a beautiful wild bird. That no one contained. And when I see you, when I think of you, I hear it in my head and also in my heart. I think of it as our song. Our song. Oh,

I am so happy that you accepted my invitation.

You had meet Dotson. Why did you go to all this trouble? Oh, no. No. It’s never any trouble to make the woman I love so special.

Your favorite wine. Our favorite wine. I can’t believe you remembered. I remember everything now.

Seven. There’s, there’s nothing I want more than for that to be true. It’s all I’ve ever wanted since you came back.

Trusting this is real. That we can recapture what we had. It isn’t just sex, it’s our, our love, our marriage. Our magic. This is the kind of magic you’re talking about.

Mm. White pizza. Nice thin crest. Perfect. Yeah, if you want, I can order you a whole nother pie, . No, no, it’s okay. I’m good. Good. Well, I hope you saved room for dessert. Thomas. Charlotte, you’re up.

Hey guys, what’s going on? Pull your eyes and hold up your. Okay.

You can open them though. We made two cookies Valentine. No way you guys made this. We’ve been, they have been baking all day long. Oh my God. This is so thoughtful and so beautiful and I’m sure super delicious. Thank you so much. Hey, and guess what? I brought you a Valentine’s Surprise. Same. Y’all, close your eyes.

Hands out,

no peeking Charlotte and open.

Put words on them. Mm-hmm. . You pace yourself now . I was just going to do one with Stephanie.

Oh, it says sweet. Watch us exactly what you are. But what about my cookie? Should I break it up to share? We already had our cookies. Yeah, we did. We ate about three or four of ’em, right? Yeah. Yeah, but you can share your heart death.

Very nice sharing a table with you. Thanks for letting me join anytime.

Hmm. I’ll be Valentine’s Day Detective Hunter. I catch commiss.

Ah, damn. Those, uh, those sugar crashes are just, uh, there’s something. Oh, one minute. The kids are running around here, 200 miles an hour in the next minute, boom. I like a light. Those you are just the cutest and this cookie so special. I almost didn’t wanna eat it.

Do you know how special that you are?

It means a lot to me that my kids.

I just, I was so happy around you. Well, I love being around them too, and their dad. I don’t mind being around him either. Tell me, blush him.

So we don’t have to call this a date. Hmm. All right. Then what are we gonna call it?

How about or play?

Chloe, Hey, it’s me. Listen, I wanted to let you know that I talked to Nicole. She told me you were okay. Very happy to hear that. Thank God. Um, she told me that you might need some space and I’m here to tell you that I’m gonna respect that, give that to you. I also wanted to let you know that, that I love you.

God, I miss you very, very much.

Happy Valentine’s Day.

Thank you

Gabby.

I just wanna say how truly sorry I am for everything that I put you through, and I hope you know that everything I did, I did out of love. Of course. I knew that. And as bad as things got between us, I never lost hope that you come around. I just knew you would. Deep down, I knew I would too.

Here’s. First of many happy Valentine’s stays together as husband and wife.

Shall we sit? Huh? You have Harold service dinner? No. No. I don’t wanna waste another minute. Let’s go upstairs so we can spend the rest of the night there. Fine by me. Hi, love you, Stephan. I love you too, Chloe.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 So there’s a question on the table. Do you give us a spectator or does your wife spend the foreseeable future as a guest of the state?

Come on. You’ve had all night to think about it. Actually, it didn’t take that long to decide. The answer is no. What? You heard me the answers? No. Wait, wait, Jennifer. No, no. There’s nothing. Don’t talk about, there’s nothing to talk about. We are not giving those two vultures. Now since neither one of you have ever produced anything worthwhile in your life, I’m sure that you cannot comprehend the amount of work and pain that this man, your friend, your father, put into this paper, Jennifer, and I know that you don’t care that it’s a good paper and it does something important in this town, but it is and it does.

So I am not gonna let the two of you slither in here and take it from him. Well, that was a very pretty speech, Ms. Ste. It’s funny. You’ve always been so good at sneering at me and judging me, but hang on. I believe it was you who got high and hit somebody with their car, and what a coincidence that somebody was me and then you drove off.

Not only is that wanton and coward, It’s illegal and that means prison time, which as your victim, I think you richly deserve. Well, there is something we both can agree on. What? Go ahead. Tough cops. I have it coming.

Was it Hemingway who said writing is easy, just open a vein and start. So I must, so I must, I’ve got the grubby headline, but where do I start? Ah, light bulb small barflies were a buzz When Alex Kikis and Ally Horton started sucking lemons and swapping spit. You didn’t hear this from lady Whistleblower, but it would appear as though those Kiki brothers have a pension for breaking hearts.

Can’t wait till you read that. Jackson K. What are you babbling about now you.

Oh, hi. Hi. Yourself. Aren’t you supposed to be at work? Took a gnarly lunch. Things are pretty slow at the office. Is that the only reason he looked like he just lost your best friend? He wasn’t my best friend. We’ve actually known each other for a couple of. Okay, I’m gonna go on the limb here. You’re talking about John and Damara, right?

So like I said, I mean, if you’re worried about anybody coming in between Ally and Chanel, it’s Alex. So he’s the problem. Yes. I mean, Chanel is always finding them together. You know, she even found Alex’s underwear at Allie’s house. Yes, I know, I know. Chanel told me all about the underwear. Okay. So then, you know, it’s stuff like that that’s messing things up between Allie and Chanel.

If. Is to blame for their problems. It’s Alex

Chanel cannot know that you’re here. Maybe if we just ignore her, she’ll just go away.

That took me long enough. Why now? Genius.

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

So after spending all that time together, you know, pretending we were a couple. I realized I was feeling things for him. And then on New Year’s Eve, we kissed, you faked something for so long and turned real, right? Well, that’s what it seemed like. So we decided to start dating. But, but what, what? What’s the problem?

The problem. He’s still hung up on Chanel. Look, I know Alex is a bit of a loose cannon, . That’s a nice way to put it, but he also makes for a pretty convincing scapegoat. Now I wanna talk about you and Chanel, and you keep making this conversation about Alex. So you think I’m trying to blame him. For something that you did.

That’s exactly what I think. Alex May have a habit of showing up in places where he is unwanted, but as far as Chanel and Allie’s problems go, there’s more than enough blame to go around, so, so , so it’s my fault. That Chanel and I walked into a bar and saw he and Allie together. No, but it’s your fault for almost kissing Chanel in the hospital.

You are the one who’s got Chanel all turned around so you can swear until you’re blue in the face that this is all Alex’s fault, but don’t get a kid. Or Johnny, it’s yours too.

Uh, sorry, I, I didn’t let you in. I was on the phone. Oh, it’s, it’s okay. I, I found my keys finally in the bottom of your purse. Yeah. How would they be? So, uh, what are you doing here? I wanted to talk to you about Alex.

Look. Okay. I get it right. You’re protective of Chanel, but I promise you, I, I, I respect the fact that she is with Allie. I do. And nearly kissing her. Does that how you’re right. You’re right. I went too far. Right, but that’s over now. I mean, nothing happened between us, but Chanel told me that you nearly both did something that she regret, but we didn’t.

We stopped. I don’t think that’s quite the merit badge You think it is? Why you so focus on Chanel anyway? If you really wanted to make sure that nothing happens, you’d steer clear of her all together. Now you do are divorce you. You a good looking boy. Don’t you have another girl you could chase after?

So you’re just gonna give up on Johnny. I’m not giving up facing reality. Meaning? Meaning. Johnny’s still very attracted to Chanel. . He’s not in love with her. Okay. First of all, that’s not reality. That’s a a nagging doubt. And you don’t get, you don’t throw the towel in over a doubt. I mean, you were the one that told me not to give up on Stephan.

That was different. He was being brainwashed stuff. Johnny isn’t being programmed to go after Chanel. He wants to, but I was in the same kind of situation. No, you weren’t. Yeah. Sefa was in love with Chloe. I thought there was no hope that it was a lost cause. And you reminded me that I’m not somebody who gives up.

Yeah. Cuz you’re not someone who gives. If you want something, you go after it. There’s nothing stopping you. No one would ever say that about me. I would , when I first met you, you bared into my hotel room demanding tickets to the to Mera Gala, and then you showed up here and demanded a promotion. No, that wasn’t such a big deal.

Of course I was. You wanted something, you went after it and you got it. I mean, what’s the difference between fighting for a man and fighting for a job? The job still isn’t in love with his ex-wife. Alex, what, what about Alex? Last night when I saw you two together, I am so sorry about what I said. I, I just, I overreacted.

No. Look, I, I know how must have looked, you know, me taking the lemon from his mouth and into your. Yeah, that did not look great. And it was actually kind of gross, but it wasn’t that big of a deal. And God knows I’ve done my fair share of stupid stuff. Hey, uh, how about we, how about we go on a walk and talk about this?

Oh, okay. Yeah. Um, but first I, I just, I have to tell you this. Last night I got so upset and I, I realize now that the reason why I got that upset was because of all the crap that’s been going on between us, and that is on me. No. Okay. No. Yes, yes. When I found Alex’s underwear, I just, I. I just jumped to the wrong conclusion and my totally reasonable explanation and I should have just listened to you.

You’re my girlfriend and I trust you, and I wanted to come here and tell you face to face that I believe you. I know nothing happened between you and Alex Jackson. You’ve interrupted my dictation. I gathered so what are you writing your memoirs? No, I’m working on my new gossip column. Oh my gosh. I should have figured after all the dirt you’ve given them.

It’s just a matter of time until the intruder put you on their payroll. Excuse me. A respected journalist, Kawa wouldn’t stoop to work for a rag like the intruder. Okay. And since when are you a respected journalist? Since I got hired at The Spectator.

What are you talking about? I’m talking about finally paying the crime that I committed. Jennifer. This is also giving into blackmail. What about the fact that she deserves to go to prison? She just admitted it herself, you know? You think somebody who went around dosing people with psychosis inducing drugs like there was baby aspirin, should maybe not be the one who’s talking about who deserves to be punished.

How is Sarah by the way? You know Sarah, the beautiful, brilliant doctor you were gonna marry until this one turned her into a vegetable. He’s right. Sander, you didn’t exactly trade up. Come on quick. Hey, didn’t expect him to make his tea, did you? It doesn’t hate you, us and I reason.

You’re right. You’re right. She says she’s ready to face the music. I’m ready to call the tune.

Yes. May I speak to Commissioner Hernandez, please? This is Gwen Rusche. It’s quite urgent.

That doesn’t, that doesn’t make sense. The Spectator is a real newspaper. They write objectively about real issues, not Cher’s birthday, May 20th, and they use more than two syllable words. Oh. How humorous are you? How du Oh, and how delusional you are. Did you actually get a contract or did, did your psychic just see it in your future?

No, I don’t have a contract yet. Okay, well don’t hold your breath. Jack DeVere wouldn’t hire you in a million years. Oh wait, he already turned you down? Proving he doesn’t know the first thing about running a newspaper. You know, it was inevitable that something like this would happen. He should have been forced out ages ago.

Okay, well, like I said, don’t hold your breath. He owns the company for now. What do you mean from now? Oh, I didn’t tell you. He’s giving it to my best friend, g Guinevere. She’s gonna be the new editor in. What? No, no, that’s, that’s, you know, as a journalist, I’m always searching for the perfect words. You know, the if you will.

I shouldn’t have said he’s giving it to her. It’s more like she’s prying it from his cold, cold hands.

I’m on hold. You sure you don’t wanna change your mind? Last chance. Do your worst? I’ll try. Yes. Uh, commissioner Hernandez, this is Gwen Ruzek. It’s urgent. I was just, um, calling you because I wanted to ra Rafu Jack. Sorry. Uh, To bother you. Yes. Look, uh, Gwen just wanted to tell you that she thinks she’s doing a good job, right?

Talk to you later.

You could have the paper.

Sounds like that Wendy is a very nice girl. Yeah, she is. And understanding too, considering all that foolishness you’ve put her through with Chanel. Yeah, I really liked her. You know, I still, I still really like her. Um, yeah, for, for a minute, I, I definitely thought there was a chance for, I dunno, a shot between us, but, uh, that was before I blew it all to hell.

So. One thing I learned here in Salem, there is no such thing as blowing it all to hell, , because there was, believe me, I’d be single right now, . So you know, if you think you and this girl have a future, you need to stop moping around and do something about it. Wait what? Find her and tell. You made a huge mistake.

I’m not just worried that Johnny still hung up on Chanel. I mean, the truth is I don’t know him very well. Well, it’s getting to know each other. That’s the fun part. What if I find things out about him and aren’t so great? Well, I, I call that a negative attitude. I think you’re expecting the worst, maybe.

But it’s for a good. Okay. The other day I was talking to Allie and she said some pretty scary things about him, especially about the way he treats women. It was, it was like she was trying to warm me off. I don’t think that was about you. What do you mean? Well, Johnny’s ex, the one you think he’s hung up on, considering allie’s, her girlfriend.

I think she’s probably worried that her brother still has feelings for Chanel too. So you think call. Just cell, she’s mad at her brother or she wants to run him down. And obviously she’s not gonna have an objective opinion on him, but it doesn’t even matter what she feels. It matters what you feel. If you like Johnny, right?

Yeah. Okay. I do. And it’s simple. If you want Johnny, you gotta Okay. For him.

You’re right. Nothing happened that night. I know, and I’m so sorry that I thought it did, and I want you to know that nothing happened between Johnny and me, but full disclosure, Johnny did drive me home that night. For a second, I thought that something might happen. You did. Well. I was just so upset when I saw you and Alex together that I was convinced that you had cheated on me with him, and I thought that maybe if I slept with Johnny, I could pay you back, but.

God am I glad I didn’t, because you mean way too much to me to risk losing you, which is why I just wanna put all of this behind us and just stop all this fighting and work this out. I love you Horton. I love you too, Dupree.

Jack. No. You can’t let her do this. It’s wrong. No, when it’s wrong is you going to prison. But you’ve spent your whole life building that paper. No, no. We built it built past tense. We did what we set out to do. That’s why we went to Boston. That’s why we gave paper the spectator to Abigail. That’s why it’d be her legacy.

Well, Abigail’s gone. She’s gone. And if giving Gwen the paper means you get to keep your freedom, that’s, that’s an even trade to.

Thank you.

Well, are you finally satisfied? Excuse me. This is why you came to Salem in the first place, isn’t it? To pay him back. To make him suffer. I just wanted, what was mine? really bull. It was never enough, never enough having what you wanted. You had to make everybody else suffer. You did everything that you could to, to, to, to damage and to destroy his family.

And when that wasn’t enough, you, you took his life’s work, he said. Finally, finally, enough. Are you finally, finally satisfied.

Yeah. Yeah. Maybe you’re right. Maybe I just need to let Wendy know how I feel about her. Mm-hmm. , that’s the spirit. But after everything that’s happened, I, I, I don’t even know what I’d say. . Are you kidding? That’s the easy part. You pull out your phone and call her, tell her it’s Valentine’s Day and you wanna see her.

Simple as that. . Well, it seems my work here is done. , stay away from Chanel.

Don’t you wanna get that? No, I, oh well, uh, I think I hung up. good. Yeah, we can let voice milk at it. I actually have it on the setting of like one to two rings, cuz I keep getting these robo calls and they’re just driving me crazy. All right. Okay, well let’s go. Uh, did you change your ring tone? Yeah. Yeah, I changed it yesterday.

I, yeah, I, I, but why are we talking about this? I mean, you’re back. Who cares about my damn phone?

What are you doing? Uh, you know, I just have to make a quick call. You have to make a call right now? Yeah. Just checking something. Are you calling my phone serious? It’s really not a big deal. I just changed my ringtone. I

really Horton. Nice try, Alex. You can come out now.

Fancy meeting you.

Wait, what do you mean that Gwen pried the paper away from Jack? I’m sorry, sweets, but I am in the middle of something, as you can tell. We should catch up later. Nope, that’s not gonna happen. Tell me what happened. Can you just forget I said anything? No, no. Like I said, that’s not gonna happen. What is gonna happen is you’re gonna tell me exactly what went down between Jack and Gwen.

I think that’s between Gwen and her dad, don’t you? Oh, and this is between you and me. What did Gwen do? No, you’re not dissatisfied. And I don’t think you ever will be in footing. Kane is your raison de.

You can even be snotty in French. Oh. Oh, okay. And this conversation has stopped being constructed. Well, whoa, whoa, wait. The conversation stops being constructive as soon as you got what you want. Oh, you’re just trying to shield Gwen of being so frail and fragile and everything. Maybe I’m trying to shield your wife.

She doesn’t stop cataloging Gwen’s sins. Gwen might be forced to point out that none of this could possibly be happening if your precious Jennifer hadn’t gotten behind a wheel of a car while she was high as a kite. Gwen might also point out that not only could she have been killed, but many other innocent bystanders as well, is she’s sorry for that profoundly, sorry.

And like my daughter whose idea of atonement is to go up and do something even more vile and less obscenity. Again, not constructive Jack. That kind of talk might make me want to point out that you wouldn’t even have the paper if you hadn’t blackmailed it from Leo’s mother. And then you could point out one of my many crimes, Gwen would counter attack and on and on and on.

A truth is I don’t think the four of us are enjoying each other’s company. So we’ll be going, I hope you can see there’s not as a door closing, but as a window opening.

Dad, don’t, don’t ever call me that.

No, you still think I’m hung up on Chanel? Ah, real smooth Tamera lead with your ex-wife. Okay. Um. Wendy, I know we have gotten wires crossed as of late. Oh God, wires. Am I writing an office memo? And the reason it sounds stupid is because you know that she doesn’t wanna see or hear from you. Just face facts, man.

You blew it.

Wendy. Hey, I, I was just wondering if you’re not doing anything right now, would you like to meet me in the park?

You changed your ring town, huh? It Chanel. This is. , what you think? . Elliot and I got drunk last night. I mean, you saw us. I was wasted. Yeah. I try not to judge. Anyway, we just came back here and I was in bad shape, so I just, I crashed in the office again, just like last time. Mm-hmm. , right? Is that true?

No. No, it’s not true. Alex and I lept.

I asked you a question. I can’t reveal my sources. Jim, tell me what Gwen the hell you were tracking down a story. You are going to find out Mr. Kakkis, that it’s not wise to attack one of my spectator. Oh, he’s one of your journalists. Who else did you hire? Beavers and Butthead. And what’s your job? Are you in charge of like the gardening column?

I’m more like the hide muscle.

After everything Jack did for you? For her, you’re okay stealing his newspaper? He gave it to me. Actually. We’re gonna go celebrate. Would you like to join us? You can be Leo’s plus one. I think I’ll pass.

You don’t know what you’re missing.

Joseph Floater must be rolling over in his grave.

Hey, hey yourself. So what, what? Actually, I was wondering if you had any plans for tonight?

You, you slept together. It was not anything we planned. No. No. But you didn’t do anything to avoid it. Did you Go out drunk, come back here? How does that scenario usually play out? No. Listen, listen. Ali was just really upset about you. Mm-hmm. and I was a mess over Stephanie. And, and I, I, we thought that maybe we could go for a drink and it was my fault.

It was my fault. I just, just go away situation. Okay. Okay. Just please do not blame Allie. Just go. Okay. Alright.

I just wanna say that I think you two are really great together and I care about you both and I,

Alex was trying to cover for me, but he’s right, I was drunk. It was not at all what I intended to. At all. Honestly, I, I saw you with Johnny and I thought you were gonna hook up with him. No, I wasn’t because I wouldn’t betray you like that. But obviously you didn’t have the same concern. Hey, no, look, I meant everything that I said before.

Okay? I, I love you. I wanna be with you. You are the only one that I wanna be with. So can we just forget that this happened? Forget this ever happened. Please.

I’m. But I just can’t do that

tonight. . Yeah. I was thinking maybe we could do something. I mean, yes. I mean, I’d, I’d love to, but I thought you said you changed your mind about me. So I had, and then I changed.

You know it’s Valentine’s Day, right? I do. I also know it’s not exactly Valentine’s themed, but I was thinking maybe we could see that horror movie. Evil Dead too. Sorry, that was one night only. Wow. But I think it’s streaming, so if you want to, we could go to my place and watch it. What’s the date?

Okay. Okay.

I will, uh, call down for some champagne and caviar. So you pulled it off. You got the paper. Talk about everything coming up. Roses get the scene that way, doesn’t it? Yes. And this is just the beginning. By the time we’ve made our mark on the Spectator, you and Zander are going to be Salem’s hottest power couple.

Oh. We just have to wait and see room.

I am so sorry. What are you talking about? This is all my fault. They could only do this to you because of what I had done. Ah, look, the only people that I blame for this is Xander and my daughter. You tried so hard with her. Look, I, I, I don’t really want to talk about that anymore. I. Aim to spend Valentine’s Day with you.

Sounds lovely. Well, how about a romantic lunch at the bistro? I’d like that very much.

And for the record my giving, Gwen the paper. Was selfish on my part because I just couldn’t live without you.

Well, call me. As soon as you get this. You will not believe what I just found. What did you just find out? Oh, okay. So how do I put this succinctly? So Gwen, with the help of Xander is stealing the spectator from my uncle Jack. And then to add insult to injury, they’re hiring Leo to like take control of the gossip column or something.

Just what Salem needs more dirt. Okay. You seem to be in a foul mood. That would be an understatement, brother. I just got back from Allian Chan. Okay, well you guys usually have a lot of fun together, so Uhhuh, , what happened? What happened? I destroyed their relationship.

You can’t mean that this can’t be it. You know how much you mean to me. You know how much we, us being together means to. Being with you. It is, it is like nothing I have ever felt, and it’s nothing that I ever felt I could feel for a woman, let alone my best friend. Okay. And when you, when you kiss me for the first time, it.

Opened up a part of me that I didn’t even know I had. And I, I know it took me a long time to come to terms with it, but once I came out to my friends and, and family and to myself and I was able to actually finally be with you, I realized, I realized how special it was and how lucky I was.

We have been through so much together. We have. So much you opened up an entire new part of me and, and I love you so much. We love each other so much, so it can’t, they can’t be over between us.

I’m sorry, but it is, yes, everything you said is true. We did share everyth. And we did love each other and now we’re just hurting each other and the last thing that I ever wanna do is hurt you. So I think it’s best if we just end things now, be before we hurt each other even more.

Days of Our Lives Update

Update written by Joseph

John and Steve join Lucas in the prison infirmary. They tell him that they’ve disabled the security cameras while Lucas explains how he pretended to be drunk and pass out, so they brought him in to the infirmary. John says now they just have to wait for Orpheus to begin his shift. Steve declares that they are finally going to end Orpheus’ reign of terror.

The prison guard reminds Orpheus that he has a shift in the infirmary. Orpheus says something is tripping him up and questions Lucas being so drunk that he passed out. Orpheus notes that Lucas was acting kind of buzzed when he asked for a second bottle, but he wasn’t gone that long and certainly not long enough for him to get that wasted. Orpheus declares that he smells a rat.

At the Brady Pub, Roman talks to Kate’s urn and declares that before this day is over, Orpheus will pay for what he did to Kate, Kayla, and Marlena, so they will finally be able to rest in peace.

Nick tells Kayla and Kate that John, Roman, and Steve are going to kill Orpheus and the plan is already in motion. Nick calls it poetic that it’s the same day they laid the three women to rest. Kate doesn’t believe that Roman would ever willingly take someone’s life. Nick asks even if it’s to avenge her death. Kate insists that Roman would not because he’s a cop and believes in doing the right thing. Nick points out that was before Orpheus killed his wife, his sister, and the mother of his children so he lost three women that he loves very much. Nick says Roman, Steve, and John are upset, angry, and scared of Orpheus going after the rest of their family. Kate still doesn’t believe it and turns to Kayla. Kayla admits that when Orpheus was first released from prison, Steve did want to eliminate him to protect her and the kids and he did try to talk John in to it. Nick points out that if John listened, they wouldn’t be dead.

The Devil tells Marlena that if she agrees to stay by his side in Hell for eternity, then he will free Kate and Kayla from their contracts, so it’s two souls for the price of one. The Devil asks Marlena if they have a deal. Marlena argues that there has to be recourse and that they are only here because Nick tricked them in to signing their souls. The Devil says if Marlena doesn’t like the deal, she can walk away and he will just enforce the contracts. The Devil admits that he doesn’t like to win by cheating and says Marlena is the one that got away, twice. Marlena says she’ll think about it but The Devil calls it a limited time offer and declares that he needs her answer right now.

Kate questions why they would believe anything Nick says. Nick then turns on a screen, showing Roman, John, and Steve creating their plan to put Orpheus down. Kate argues that is just Steve proposing a crazy idea, so Nick fast forwards it to Roman and John agreeing with Steve’s plan. Kate can’t believe it and asks Kayla what the hell is wrong with Steve.

Roman continues talking to Kate’s urn and says he would give anything to hear her voice one more time. Roman thinks about all the time they lost and wasted. Roman knows nothing they do will be able to bring her, Kayla, or Marlena back, but at least that madman will never be able to hurt anybody they love again. Roman states that it will all be over soon. Anna then enters the Pub. Roman tells her that the Pub is closed. Anna says that’s why she came in the back as she just wanted to see how he’s holding up since she didn’t get to talk to him at the funeral. Roman claims he’s fine. Anna points out that he was talking to the urn when she came in. Roman knows it’s not Kate, but it brings him closer to her and he’s pretty sure Anna understands that. Anna talks about people rolling their eyes at her when she thought Tony was dead, but it brought her comfort. Roman understands that now. Anna says the one thing she doesn’t get, is that he was saying it would all be over soon, so she questions what he meant by that.

Lucas tells John and Steve that Orpheus should be starting his shift any minute now. John tells Lucas that he should get going then but Lucas says he’s not going anywhere. Steve tells Lucas that he’s done his part by getting them in, so he can go back to his cell as there’s no reason for him to get blood on his hands. Lucas argues that Orpheus killed his mom, so he wants to be there to see him take his last breath. John understands but says it would be safer if Lucas lets them handle it. Lucas argues that he’s already in prison so he questions what difference it makes. John says Lucas will be out before long and Allie is going to need him. Steve appreciates his help but says it was their idea so they should see it through. Lucas asks what if something goes wrong and they need backup. John assures that they know what they are doing. The doctor then walks in and questions what is going on in here.

Orpheus asks the guard if he actually saw Lucas take a drink. He admits he didn’t, but he wasn’t there the whole time. Orpheus then checks the trash can and finds the bottle. Orpheus notes that it’s empty and then smells the trash can to confirm that Lucas poured it out. Orpheus declares that Lucas is pretending to be drunk. The guard asks why he would do that. Orpheus says he doesn’t know but he’s obviously playing some type of game, so they’re going to find out what it is.

John claims to the doctor that they were just cleaning up the Infirmary and got sidetracked by Lucas talking to them. The doctor points out that he’s never seen them before. John says they just started a couple weeks ago while Steve says they usually work night shift. The doctor says they shouldn’t interact with the inmates and should go. John says they just have to finish cleaning the room up so the doctor says he won’t get in their way. John and Steve started cleaning while the doctor questions Lucas about his drinking. Steve remarks that Lucas probably just needs to go back to his cell and sleep it off. The doctor says he’ll handle it and begins checking Lucas out. He says he seems fine but does smell of alcohol. Lucas responds that he’s good at sobering up. The doctor advises him not to drink the next time he thinks about it. The doctor then walks Lucas out.

Anna asks Roman what is going to be over soon. Roman claims he meant the funerals but Anna points out those are already over. Roman says he still has to scatter Kate’s ashes, so it won’t truly be done until she’s laid to rest. Anna says she sees what he means and cries that this is so tragic because he and Kate didn’t have nearly enough time together. Roman admits he misses her so much and he hopes that she’s at peace.

Kayla questions Kate blaming Steve. Kate argues that Steve talked Roman in to committing murder, so he could end up in prison for the rest of his life. Nick points out he could also be damning his soul for all eternity. Nick jokes that they will eventually reunite with their husbands in Hell. Kayla argues that won’t happen since Marlena is negotiating with the Devil to let them remain in Heaven. Kate remarks that Roman should be rewarded for getting Orpheus off the Earth. Nick says that’s not how it works and he has other guests to torment, so he will be back when The Devil makes a decision about their eternal souls. Kate can’t believe Roman let Steve talk him in to this. Kayla says she didn’t know and if she had, she would’ve stopped him but now there’s nothing they can do. Kate says unless there is…

Marlena asks how she knows she can trust The Devil to keep up his side of the bargain. The Devil responds that his word does count for something around here. Marlena goes over the deal again. The Devil gives his word that if she agrees to stay with him, he will allow Kate and Kayla to go to Heaven. Marlena then tells The Devil that he’s got a deal and they shake hands. The Devil calls it rare for him to make such a bargain. The Devil says Marlena being with him for all eternity will be enough thanks for him. Marlena asks if she can at least say goodbye to Kate and Kayla. The Devil allows her and then says Nick will escort her down to his neck of the woods. Marlena can’t believe this is happening. The Devil tells her to enjoy her last moments of peace and warns that the next time she sees him, he will be in his true form.

Kate questions how Kayla reached Steve last night. Kayla doesn’t know and calls it sort of an accident which Kate questions. Kayla says she was just thinking about Steve and it just sort of happened. Kate suggests trying that so she can talk to their husbands and talk them out of this terrible idea. Kayla reminds her that Nick said they already closed the hole in the firewall. Kate says that was about Kayla and Steve, so maybe she can still reach Roman. Kayla decides it’s worth a shot. Kate then tries calling out to Roman but Kayla doesn’t think that will work. Kate asks Kayla what she did. Kayla thinks she got lucky because Steve was half asleep when she contacted him, so she sort of just walked in to his dream. Kate says she can’t wait until Roman is sleeping since they are going after Orpheus during the day. Kayla has Kate close her eyes and try picturing Roman. Kayla thinks it’s about concentrating and imagining that her voice is traveling all the way down to Roman. Kayla encourages her to imagine Roman is right in front of her. Kate tries but decides it’s ridiculous. Kayla suggests she try again, so Kate tries speaking through to Roman.

Anna advises Roman to save some of Kate’s ashes for himself when he scatters them and suggests he could put them in a vial around his neck so she would be with him always. Anna knows some may see that as extreme or creepy, but she sees it as romantic. Anna jokes that it’s not like she’s suggesting he snort Kate’s remains like a line of cocaine like Keith Richards with his dad. Anna thinks he should keep a little bit of Kate around so he can talk to her whenever he needs. Roman then starts hearing Kate’s voice calling out to him and asks what the hell.

Orpheus goes to The Infirmary looking for Lucas but finds John and Steve instead.

Roman asks Anna if she heard that then says he’s just exhausted. Anna acknowledges that it’s been a rough morning so she suggests he go lay down. Roman says he would but he’s waiting for a call. Roman then continues hearing Kate’s voice and calls out to her. Roman hears Kate saying she knows what he’s planning with Steve and John and he can’t go through with it. Kate says she understands he’s upset but Orpheus is not worth condemning his soul for eternity so she begs him not to do it. Roman asks Kate where she is. Anna says she’s right there. Roman responds that he can hear Kate talking to him right now.

Kate continues pleading with Roman to hear her. Kate thinks she can feel him. Kayla urges her to keep going and keep focused. Kate asks Roman to promise not to kill Orpheus. Nick interrupts and questions what the hell they are trying to do. Kate then says she lost the connection. Kayla asks what happened. Kate says she couldn’t see Roman but she felt the connection. Nick doesn’t know what just happened but says he’s going to have a strong word with their I.T. department about this. Kate can’t believe she reached Roman. Kate admits she can’t be sure but she knows in her gut that he got the message.

Roman calls out to Kate asking if she can hear him. Anna asks if he’s been drinking. Roman responds that he’s completely sober. Anna says she won’t judge him since he just lost his wife so it’s understandable. Roman insists that he could hear Kate but he can’t hear her anymore. Roman asks if Kate is still there. Anna asks if she had spoken to him before. Roman confirms this is the first time and continues asking if Kate can hear him but there’s no response. Roman states that she’s gone. Anna asks what she said to him. Roman responds that she was trying to stop him from going through with the plan. Anna questions what plan.

Nick thought he made it very clear that they were not allowed to make contact with the living. Kate asks what he’s going to do about it because he can’t send them to Hell without permission from his boss. Nick warns that he can make their lives miserable and jokes that he has Baby Shark on loop and is not afraid to use it. Kate tells him to do his worst because it won’t change the fact that she already contacted Roman. Nick asks what she thinks that accomplished. Kate believes Roman is now convincing Steve and John not to murder Orpheus. Marlena then returns from Hell and questions them saying that John and Steve are going to murder Orpheus. Kayla tells her that they are apparently planning to avenge their deaths. Kate thinks she managed to stop them or at least she hopes so.

Orpheus says he knew Lucas was up to something, though it didn’t occur to him that John and Steve were involved. Steve jokes that they can still surprise him. Orpheus guesses that Lucas faked his blackout to sneak them in which John confirms. Orpheus says it’s not a terrible plan, but he’s glad they are there. Steve questions why that is. Orpheus mentions hearing that today was the funeral for their wives and he felt terrible he couldn’t send his condolences. Steve tells him to cut the crap now. Orpheus continues talking about how it was a tragedy. John holds Steve back from going after Orpheus. Orpheus comments on them both still being devastated by their loss. John calls it a difficult day. Steve adds that he and John have found a way to ease their suffering. Orpheus questions what that is. Steve responds that they are going to watch him die.

Marlena questions Kate feeling like she was reaching Roman. Kate assures she felt a connection. Nick suggests they start thinking about their own souls instead of their husbands. Kate asks about Marlena’s meeting with The Devil. Marlena reveals that she was able to make a deal. Marlena then announces Kate and Kayla are not going to Hell. Kayla hugs Marlena and says she knew she’d come through for them as Kate thanks her. Nick doesn’t understand and asks how that happened. Marlena shows him that The Devil has voided the contracts. Kate asks how Marlena pulled that off. Marlena admits that she had to make a deal. Nick points out that Marlena’s papers aren’t there. Kayla questions what Marlena did. Marlena then explains that in order to guarantee that Kate and Kayla stay in Heaven, she had to agree to spend the rest of eternity in Hell with The Devil.

Anna questions Roman about he, Steve, and John going to kill Orpheus today. Roman tells her to keep her voice down. Anna asks who he thinks is going to hear. Anna agrees that he can’t go through with it. Roman argues that because of Orpheus, he lost three of the most important women in his life. Anna says she’s not saying he doesn’t deserve to burn in Hell, but they can’t be the ones to end his life. Roman argues that they have to stop him from hurting anybody else. Anna points out that Kate doesn’t agree. Roman asks if she believes that he really heard Kate’s voice then. Anna remarks that if you live in this town long enough, there’s not a lot you won’t believe. Anna urges Roman to stop John and Steve from murdering Orpheus.

John and Steve strap Orpheus in to the hospital bed in the infirmary. Orpheus remarks that in some ways, he’s surprised it took them this long to seek revenge as he was beginning to think they didn’t have it in them. John tells him to keep talking as it strengthens their resolve to put an end to him. Orpheus questions how they plan to achieve that. John and Steve explain that they plan to make it look like Orpheus got in to the opioids in the infirmary and got a little carried away, so it looks like an accidental overdose. Orpheus figures they are both too cowardly to claim credit for their handy work. Steve says he’s already taken enough from them, so he won’t take their families and freedom. Orpheus asks what about their immortal souls because taking a life in cold blood is breaking a commandment. Steve thinks in this case, God will understand. Orpheus asks if he’s sure. Orpheus knows he’s going to Hell and asks if he really wants to join him there. Steve then gets a call from Roman. Orpheus asks if there’s a crack in their coalition or if Roman is a weak link and getting cold feet. Steve reminds Orpheus that he killed Roman’s wife, his sister, and the mother of his children, so he’s rock solid. Orpheus questions why he is calling then. John responds that Roman is just anxious to hear that they completed the job. Orpheus says there’s only one way to find out. Steve tells John to just get this over with and they’ll fill Roman in once they are on their way home to their families and Orpheus is in a bodybag.

Roman tells Anna that Steve didn’t answer and John’s phone is going straight to voicemail while they aren’t texting either. Anna urges that Roman has to get to the prison to stop them. Anna warns that killing Orpheus would be playing right in to his hands and he will have won yet again by turning them in to something they are not. Roman agrees that he has to do whatever he can to stop this, so he hurries out of the Pub.

Orpheus tells Steve and John that killing him won’t bring their wives back. Steve feels it will go a long way in evening the score. John adds that this isn’t just about revenge, but being proactive. Steve says they know it’s only a matter of time before he decides they haven’t suffered enough so what’s to keep him from going after their kids or grandkids. John declares this is the only way to ensure he never hurts anybody ever again. John starts searching for a syringe. Steve asks Orpheus if he’s ready for his journey to Hell. Steve brings up that he’s seen Orpheus die before, but this time after what he did to Kayla, he is really going to enjoy watching the life drain out of him.

Marlena explains that The Devil admitted that the contracts couldn’t be enforced because they were obtained through trickery. Nick questions the Devil having a problem with trickery now. Kayla asks about the deal. Marlena says he agreed to cut them a deal if she agreed to accept her fate of an eternity in Hell. Marlena thinks The Devil is just upset because she slipped through his fingers twice. Kate thanks Marlena for her sacrifice and says they will never forget it. Kayla argues that they are not doing this. Kate thinks it’s a done deal. Kayla refuses to let Marlena trade her soul for their souls. Kate doesn’t think they can talk her out of it. Kayla insists that they need to stick together as they are stronger together and can fight this. Nick gets instructions to escort them all to Hell immediately if Marlena backs out of the deal. Kate feels they have no choice but Kayla argues that they do. Kayla declares that they are going to stick together and present themselves as a united front so if one of them goes to Hell, they all go to Hell. Marlena tells Kayla that she appreciates her gesture but she’s okay. Kayla questions her being okay with going to Hell. Marlena responds that she’s at peace with her decision but Kayla is not. Kayla says they cannot let their friend suffer in Hell while they are in Heaven as they wouldn’t be happy. Kate thinks in time, they would adjust but then agrees with Kayla that they are sticking together, so there is no deal. Nick decides he will escort them to Hell then.

Anna remains at the Pub with Kate’s urn. Anna looks at it and then asks if Kate’s there. Anna doesn’t expect her to answer so she says she’ll do the talking. Anna thanks Kate for being Roman’s guardian angel. Anna comments that she didn’t always agree with how Kate lived her life but she thinks deep down that Roman knows what he’s doing is wrong. Anna hopes Roman gets there in time to stop Steve and John from making a huge mistake.

Roman arrives at the prison visiting room where Lucas asks what he’s doing there. Roman asks where Steve and John are. Lucas assumes they are in the infirmary with Orpheus. Roman orders Lucas to take him there because they have to stop them and call this whole thing off.

John loads a syringe full of morphine, saying it should be enough to knock Orpheus out for good. Steve asks to do the honors. John says he won’t have a problem doing it but Steve says it was his idea, so he should do it. Orpheus mocks him making the self sacrifice and warns that he is going to regret this. Steve responds that his only regret is that he didn’t do it sooner, before he poisoned their wives, and now he’s going to pay for what he did. Orpheus stops him and says there’s something he needs to know. Steve is not interested because nothing he can say can change their minds. Orpheus asks if he’s sure about that and what if he was to tell them who is really responsible for the death of their wives…

EJ and Nicole returned to the DiMera mansion. They kissed each other. Things heated up for them and they stayed in her room. Gabi went to see Li and wondered if his invitation was still open to her. She thought they could talk about the divorce. He thought about Sloan’s advice and told Gabi that he will have his lawyer speed up the process. She thanked him. He wondered why she wasn’t with Stefan. She told him that he called her Chloe. Li thought it was funny. She got upset with him because he’s the reason why it happened. He told her that he would love her no matter what Rolf did to him. He told her that she was all he ever wanted and that’s why he did the things he did. He asked her to eat dinner with him and she accepted the invitation. Steve had a beer and was looking at a picture of his wedding photo. He fell asleep on the couch. He woke up and saw Kayla. He was shocked and wanted to know how she got there. She had to see him on their anniversary. She told him that she loved him. He let her know that he loved her with all his heart. He knew she wasn’t real and that he was drinking too much. She said she was real and kissed him. Kayla told him that she needed him because the good place wasn’t working out for her. She told him about running into Adrienne and how she turned into Nick. She told him that Nick tricked her into signing away her soul. She pleaded with him to help her. He was confused and wanted her to tell him what to do. Tripp showed up and woke Steve up. He told him that Kayla was there and needed his help. Tripp thought he had too much to drink and wanted to help him out. He thought about Kayla and wondered how he would ever go on without her.

Update written by Joseph

After the funerals, John joins Steve at Kayla’s grave and tells him it was a beautiful service. Steve says so was Marlena’s and Kate’s. They agree that it’s just overwhelming. John thinks half the town showed up as they sure touched a lot of people’s lives. Steve says he lost count of how many times someone told him how much Kayla meant to them and how it doesn’t make sense that she’s gone. John can’t wrap his head around the fact that he’ll never see Marlena on Earth again, just like Steve will never see Kayla. Steve then informs John that he actually saw Kayla last night.

In the afterlife, Kate, Kayla, and Marlena wait around for Nick Fallon. Marlena comments on The Devil going through a lot of trouble to trick them in to signing away their souls. Kayla argues that he owes them a chance to plead their case. Nick then returns, so Marlena asks if they are getting a meeting with The Devil. Nick says it’s not easy to book a face to face with Satan and asks why he should care about three arrogant women.

Will and Sonny walk through the town square together. Will talks about going through three funerals in one day. Sonny hugs him and says at least they got to be around family. Will points out that he’s about to leave them right in the middle of all this suffering. Sonny says he doesn’t have to leave yet but Will reveals that he has to go to New Zealand for the shoot and can’t put it off any longer. Will hates that he has to say goodbye to Sonny again. Sonny responds that he doesn’t have to, because he’s going with him.

Roman is at the Brady Pub, on the phone with Lucas. Roman says he’s sorry that Lucas didn’t get to say goodbye to his mother and that it was a beautiful service. Lucas responds that being stuck in prison has made it a lot harder. Roman knows the timing stinks but says they need to talk about Orpheus. Lucas questions him wanting to put things in to motion today. Roman says if this is going to work, there’s no better time for Lucas to fall off the wagon then the day of his mother’s funeral.

Nick reveals to Kate, Kayla, and Marlena that they have been granted an audience with The Devil.

Will asks Sonny if he’s kidding but Sonny says no. Will says Sonny can’t come to New Zealand but Sonny says he can’t spend another minute away from him, feeling they’ve been separated long enough. Sonny reminds Will that last time they were separated for long, Leo nearly sunk their marriage. Sonny says he’s sorry but he can’t spend another six months away from him as that’s not what they signed up for. Sonny repeats that he’s sorry but he’s along for the ride and there’s nothing Will can do to stop him.

John questions Steve saying he saw Kayla. Steve knows how it sounds but says last night, he was on the couch drifting off when she suddenly came through the door. John calls that a really nice vision but Steve insists that she was flesh and blood. Steve doesn’t know but notes that Kayla said she needed his help because she, Marlena, and Kate had been tricked in to giving their souls away to the Devil. Steve knows it’s crazy but then Tripp came home and Kayla disappeared. Steve says Tripp tried to convince him it was just a dream, but he insists that it was real.

Roman knows Lucas is carrying a burden here and he wishes there was another way. Lucas assures that he will do it for his mom. Roman declares that all three women deserve justice and they are going to get it for them. Allie then enters the Pub and startles Roman. Allie questions if Lucas is on the phone because she thought Roman wasn’t speaking to him after what he did to Sami.

Kate and Kayla ask about the meeting with the Devil but Nick clarifies that Satan only agreed to see Marlena, not Kate and Kayla.

Will loves that Sonny wants to come with him but says he can’t let him pack up and leave Salem. Sonny asks if he’s saying no. Will says it’s not up to him as Victor won’t let him run Titan from New Zealand and Gabi won’t let them take Arianna to the other side of the world. Sonny reveals he already talked to Gabi and persuaded her, noting that it’s also what Arianna wants and there will be frequent visits. Will asks what he’s saying. Sonny tells him that he is what matters to him. Sonny declares that whatever happens, they will figure it out. Sonny tells Will that he loves him and never wants to be separated from him ever again.

Steve tells John that he knows it’s easy to explain away but swears it was not a dream. Steve wishes he could tell him he’s fine but he’s not. Steve cries that he will carry this grief with him for the rest of his life. John reminds him that is why they are going after Orpheus. Steve states that killing Orpheus won’t put a dent in what they’ve lost, but their wives need to be avenged and after last night, he believes that more than ever. John informs Steve that it’s time to hook up with Roman. John declares that now that they have laid the women they love to rest, it’s Orpheus’ turn.

Roman informs Allie that Lucas called to ask about the funeral and he’s sure that he would love to talk to her if she’s up to it. Allie agrees so Roman hands her the phone. Lucas says it’s really good to hear her voice and asks if she’s okay. Allie tells him that Kate’s service was beautiful and she wishes he could’ve been there. Allie mentions that she keeps thinking about how hard it must be for Lucas to be stuck in there with his grief and no outlet for it. Lucas tells her not to worry about him and to lean on the people who love her. Lucas notes that the guard is telling him he has to cut it short so he has to go. Allie says she’ll talk to him soon. Lucas hopes so and tells her to tell Roman that he’s glad they talked. Lucas tells Allie that he loves her more than she’ll ever know and then hangs up. Roman asks Allie if she’s alright. Allie says yes but she heard Roman telling Lucas something about Kate, Kayla, and Marlena deserving justice and that he would get it for them. Allie questions what he meant by that.

Kayla argues that she knew there would be a catch. Marlena feels they have to take their only option which Kayla agrees with. Marlena points out that she’s beaten The Devil twice, so she will meet with him and get their souls back. Nick tells them to stop wasting time and says there is no vote, it’s Marlena or no one. Marlena agrees to go with Nick to see his boss.

Will knows how much running Titan means to Sonny. Sonny points out that Alex is more than willing to step up as he already did before. Sonny assures it’s all under control and he’ll be working remotely. Sonny adds that he and Arianna can do whatever they want. Sonny says the only thing stopping them is Will. Sonny assures that he has everything figured out but for some reason, Will still seems to be against this. Sonny then kisses Will.

Roman tells Allie that everybody is having a rough time these days and it’s double for Lucas. Roman says they all want justice but Lucas feels helpless in prison, so he was just trying to reassure him. Allie says that’s very kind of him considering his feelings towards Lucas. Roman assures that he still has issues with Lucas, but they are family and Kate’s death reminded him of what’s really important. Allie thanks him and hugs him. Allie hopes that what Roman said comes true, that justice is served. Roman says they are working on it. Allie walks away as Steve and John come out from the back. Steve declares that it’s time.

Lucas asks the prison guard where Orpheus is and tells him to find Orpheus because he wants to talk to him ASAP.

John tells Roman that he’s sorry he had to lie to Allie. Roman is just glad she didn’t come in a minute earlier and he could get her off the scent. Steve ask if Roman is still in. Roman assures that he is. John says that’s good because he wants to be able to tell Marlena that her death did not go unavenged.

Nick escorts Marlena down a flight of stairs and directs her to meet with The Devil. Nick then disappears, so Marlena guesses she is on her own. Marlena continues forward and finds The Devil disguised as Doug, who asks if she missed him because he certainly has missed her.

Will asks Sonny if he is really coming to New Zealand. Sonny thinks they deserve it after everything they’ve been through together. Will talks about how he’s always the one leaving and putting pressure on them. Sonny says they make things right when they have to. They agree that what they have is worth everything. Will feels Sonny is making the bigger sacrifice. Sonny says maybe this time, but he’ll have plenty of opportunities in the future which Will promises to do. Will tells Sonny that he loves him. Sonny says he loves him too and can’t wait to tell him that every day in person. Will guesses they have a bunch of people to share the news with then. Allie approaches and asks what news.

Kate tells Kayla that she keeps thinking what if this isn’t real. Kayla says she has to believe this is not a trick and that they are going to have a chance to change their fate. Kayla encourages Kate to have faith as they are in this together. Kate admits she’s grateful she is here with Kayla and Marlena. Nick returns and says he hates the peace and understanding. Nick calls their funerals sappy. Kayla asks how their families are. Nick says they were really sad, especially Steve. Nick then asks Kayla about paying Steve a visit last night.

Steve asks if Lucas is all set on his end. Roman confirms that he went through everything with him and he’s still on board. John worries that bringing booze back in to his life is a dangerous game. Roman assures that they can count on Lucas and asks if they are ready. Steve responds that they were born ready and Orpheus won’t know what hit him.

Orpheus meets with Lucas in prison and says he heard he wanted to speak with him. Lucas asks what took him so long. Orpheus questions what’s wrong with him and if he’s drunk. Lucas responds that he’s not drunk enough and gives him back the now empty whiskey bottle, saying he wants more. Orpheus comments that Lucas drank the bottle awfully fast considering he didn’t want it. Lucas staggers and asks if he has to beg him. Lucas tells Orpheus that today was his mother’s funeral and he missed it. Orpheus says he’s sorry to hear that but Lucas says he’s not because he killed her. Lucas declares that if he’s going to make it through the day, he’s going to need more alcohol. Lucas grabs Orpheus and asks if he’s going to help him or not.

Marlena doesn’t understand how The Devil is Doug. The Devil thought assuming a familiar face might make her more comfortable. He adds that if she saw his real face, her face would just melt away. Marlena wants to stop wasting time. The Devil asks how he can help her.

Allie questions Will and Sonny leaving today just like that. Will says he had the same reaction but now sees how much sense it makes. Allie says she’s going to miss them but admits she’s excited for them. Allie notes that Sonny has so much going on here, so it can’t be easy for him. Sonny says nothing in life ever is. Sonny notes that he kept worrying about the details and then it hit him that being happy is all that really matters, so once he accepted that, everything else falls in to place. Will asks if Allie is okay. Allie then asks what if she and her son Henry come along?

Orpheus tells Lucas that it must hurt missing his mother’s funeral, knowing it’s because he kidnapped his ex-wife. Orpheus tells him to stay put and he’ll be back in a few. Orpheus stops and says he didn’t kill his mother. Orpheus then warns Lucas to stop saying that or they are done. Orpheus then exits the visiting room. Lucas remarks that Orpheus did kill her and today he’s going to pay for it.

Kate questions what Nick is talking about. Kayla pretends not to know but Nick tells Kate that Kayla went solo and didn’t tell her. Kate questions what Kayla did. Nick reveals that Kayla made unauthorized contact with Steve, thinking he could get her out of here. Kate questions how Kayla saw Steve. Nick says Steve may be a miracle worker, but even he isn’t going to get her out of this one.

Steve hopes their wives are looking down on them, knowing that they are doing this for them. Roman wishes he was going with them but John says it’s better to have someone on the outside in case this all goes sideways. Steve assures that it won’t because it can’t and this has to work. Roman encourages that they have justice on their side and three angels in Heaven looking out for them. Roman wishes them luck as Steve and John then exit the Pub. Roman pleads for Lucas not to fail them.

Orpheus returns to Lucas. Orpheus taunts him with the whiskey and says he thinks it’s only fitting and proper that they honor his mother by drinking a toast to her together. Lucas says he drinks alone and doesn’t share. Orpheus tells him not to worry because there’s plenty more. Orpheus then gives Lucas the bottle to go first. Lucas takes the bottle but the guard interrupts and informs Orpheus that he’s late for group therapy. Orpheus remarks that he must have lost track of time. Orpheus leaves the bottle with Lucas and exits. Lucas then puts some of the whiskey on himself and then pours it in the trash.

Marlena argues that The Devil knows exactly why she’s there as she came to challenge the bogus contracts that Nick tricked them in to signing. The Devil says things are different in Hell and they encourage lawlessness. Marlena understands he wants their souls but asks if he can’t get them in the normal way instead of trying to trick them. Marlena argues that The Devil is not some cheap con man, but the most powerful force of evil in the universe. Marlena asks if tricking them makes him feel proud. Marlena thinks it makes him look weak.

Will questions Allie wanting to leave Salem with them. Sonny asks where this is coming from. Allie knows it may seem impulsive but it makes sense to her. Allie talks about thinking of the lives that Marlena, Kayla, and Kate lived without fear or regrets and taking chances. Will asks about everything Allie would be leaving behind. Allie reveals to them that Chanel broke up with her. Will says he’s sorry as he didn’t know that. Sonny calls it Chanel’s loss but Allie says this one is on her. Allie then admits that she slept with Alex because she thought Chanel and Johnny were hooking up, but she was wrong. Will asks Allie if she’s sure it’s over for her and Chanel and if she doesn’t want to stay and fight for her. Allie knows when Chanel has made up her mind, pushing her is the worst thing to do. Allie says she will always love her but she knows they could use the time and space apart. Will asks about her job. Allie points out that she will have to quit since her boss was the person she cheated on. Allie adds that she talked to Lucas, who told her to lean on the people she loves and do whatever is best for her and Henry. Will calls that good advice. Allie notes that she’s a single mom with no job or prospects. Allie states that they buried their grandmothers today, so she could use something positive in their lives. Allie adds that they may never get this opportunity again to recharge and reboot. Allie says there’s no where better than the most beautiful place in the world with her two favorite people. Will asks if she’s sure. Allie says it sounds like Heaven on Earth.

Marlena tells The Devil that Nick and his games are beneath him. The Devil says losing to Marlena twice was a bitter experience and he hates losing. Marlena asks if he doesn’t want to prove once and for all that he’s stronger than her. The Devil talks about taking a difficult path and then declares that he has made his decision.

Kate questions Kayla about contacting Steve. Kayla believes that she did. Kate asks if Steve talked to her and saw her. Kayla says she doesn’t know but she was desperate to let Steve know that she’s okay. Kate asks how Nick could not let her know so that she could’ve talked to Roman or Lucas.

The guard returns to Lucas, who pretends to be drunk and demands to see Orpheus because he needs more. Lucas lunges at the guard and ends up hitting the table, so the guard calls in that they have an inmate down and that he needs assistance to send him to the infirmary.

Will states that he was heading back to New Zealand alone but now they better charter their own flight as they accept Allie coming with them. Allie excitedly hugs Will and Sonny.

Kate asks Nick how she can reach her family. Nick says that had nothing to do with him as Kayla found a way around their fire wall but it’s been plugged up and won’t happen again. Kayla assures that she will keep trying. Nick insists it won’t happen again which is a shame because it looks like there will be some interesting developments today. Kayla questions what he’s talking about. Nick declares that there is murder in the air. Nick then reveals that Steve, John, and Roman are going to avenge their deaths by killing Orpheus today.

Roman says to himself that everything should be starting to come together right about now.

Orpheus returns to the visiting room. The guard comes in after him and questions what was in the booze that he gave Lucas, because he passed out and he had to send him to the infirmary. Orpheus calls Lucas a loser who can’t handle his alcohol.

Lucas gets set up in the infirmary and calls out for his mom, so the nurse goes to get him a doctor. Lucas then jumps up and meets Steve and John at the door.

The Devil tells Marlena that he can’t believe he’s saying this, but he’s willing to tear up the contracts of Kate and Kayla in exchange for Marlena staying by his side for all eternity.

Update written by Joseph

EJ and Nicole arrive at the Bistro and see Eric and Sloan. EJ tells Nicole they can go somewhere else but Nicole insists that she’s fine. Nicole says it’s Valentine’s Day and every place will be busy and she’s starving. EJ asks if she doesn’t mind being in the same room as them. Nicole responds that if Eric can take it, she can, so they get a table for two. Sloan remarks to Eric that this should be fun. Sloan jokes that usually she sees Valentine’s Day as just a commercial ripoff, but this just got a lot more interesting.

Johnny walks through the town square with a bouquet of flowers and then bumps in to Tripp. Tripp guesses the flowers are for Chanel but Johnny reveals that they are actually for Wendy.

Li sits alone in his hotel room and finishes his second glass of wine until there’s a knock at the door. Li hopes it’s Gabi but it’s Wendy. Wendy tells Li that he has to face the reality that he completely blew it with Gabi and it’s over.

Gabi tells Stefan that she loves him while Stefan responds “I love you too, Chloe,” leaving Gabi confused. Gabi asks if he just heard what he said as she can’t believe he just called her Chloe.

Steve is passed out on the couch at home with he and Kayla’s wedding photo nearby. Steve then dreams of seeing Kayla in the room as it is their anniversary.

Nicole complains to EJ about Sloan and Eric grinning at each other. Nicole remarks that she thought Sloan was just rebound sex but now Eric is staring at her like she hung the moon and now they are spending Valentine’s Day together. EJ reminds her that they are too. Nicole argues that they are just celebrating the Italian deal while EJ points out that it’s also the proper dinner date that he promised her. EJ adds that it can be as romantic as he wants it to be as he holds her hand which Eric looks over and sees. Sloan asks Eric what’s wrong. Eric responds that Nicole led him to believe there was nothing romantic going on with EJ, but now she’s holding hands with him and probably sleeping with him too. Sloan calls it sad that it still bothers him.

Johnny knows Tripp thinks something is going on with he and Chanel. Tripp says he owes him no explanation and that he thinks it’s great if he and Wendy worked things out. Tripp asks if he has big plans for tonight. Johnny confirms he’s supposed to meet Wendy in a couple minutes and they are going to see a movie. Tripp apologizes if he screwed up his date with her last night. Tripp explains that Joey called Wendy and told her that he needed her. Tripp adds that he doesn’t know what’s gotten in to Joey but for some reason, he decided to play matchmaker and that he was interested in Wendy. Johnny then asks if Joey’s right.

Wendy asks Li what happened now. Li explains that he asked Gabi to have dinner with him and she turned him down flat. Wendy says she’s sorry. Li questions what she’s doing here on Valentine’s Day and guesses she was checking up on him. Li gets why since he’s lonely, unemployed, and possibly about to go to prison. Wendy suggests that if Li wants Gabi back, he has to start small. Wendy tells him that he should invite her out for coffee and be her friend instead of inviting her over for Valentine’s Day dinner. Li responds that he doesn’t want to just be Gabi’s friend as she is still his wife. Wendy points out that the only guy she wants is her previous husband, Stefan. Li admits that he knows.

Stefan claims he didn’t call Gabi “Chloe” and that he wouldn’t do that but Gabi insists that she heard it. Stefan says that if he did, it’s only because he’s worried about Chloe. Gabi questions him worrying about Chloe when he’s about to take her upstairs to bed and asks why he’s worried about Chloe. Stefan says that Chloe ran out after Dr. Rolf was taken in to custody and he hasn’t heard from her since. Stefan says he left her three messages that she’s ignored and called her earlier. Gabi then questions if Stefan called Chloe before or after he called her.

Steve imagines seeing Kayla but says it can’t be real and he just had too much to drink but she insists that it’s real as they kiss.

Eric tells Sloan that he’s not bothered, he’s just tired of people telling him that he’s not over Nicole. Eric then admits that maybe he’s not. Sloan guesses now he’s afraid that she’s over him. Eric states that he’s the one who divorced Nicole, so she has every right to move on, and he just wishes it wasn’t with that jackass. Nicole tells EJ that Eric could have any woman he wants, so she doesn’t know why he’s settling for Sloan. Nicole then apologizes. EJ tells her that she can go on but Nicole doesn’t want to spend the rest of the evening talking about Eric. Nicole then pours them glasses of champagne and toasts to their first proper dinner date. Eric finishes his glass of wine at the same time.

Li tells Wendy that he doesn’t understand why a woman like Gabi would waste her time on a man that loves somebody else. Wendy relates to trying to believe he loves her more. Li says he wasn’t talking about her and Johnny. Li offers her a glass of wine but Wendy responds that she has plans tonight with Johnny. Li thought they were over. Wendy says it turns out to be a misunderstanding. Li notes that Gabi encouraged her to not give up so easily, that Johnny is a good guy, and that she should fight for him. Li tells her to go ahead and have a wonderful time. Wendy asks if he’s sure he’ll be okay. Li is just glad one of them is having a Happy Valentine’s Day.

Stefan admits to Gabi that he called Chloe before he called her, but only because C comes before G in his contact list. Stefan argues that he’s been through a lot. Gabi calls him unbelievable as she thought he called her over because he made his decision that she’s the one he wanted. Gabi questions if he called her by hitting the wrong button. Stefan insists that he knew what he was doing. Gabi asks if he only called her because Chloe didn’t pick up. Gabi then questions if she would even be here if Chloe did pick up.

Tripp tells Johnny about how he met Wendy last summer and Joey was there. Tripp says that he and Wendy are friends which Johnny questions him more about, but Wendy then arrives. Wendy apologizes for being late as she stopped to check on her brother. Wendy asks if they were talking about her. Tripp says they just ran in to each other and Johnny just told him that they worked things out, so he’s really happy for them. Tripp tells them to have fun tonight. Wendy wishes him a Happy Valentine’s Day. Tripp wishes her the same and walks away. Johnny then gives Wendy his flowers which she calls so sweet of him.

Steve questions his imagination of Kayla, who says she really needs his help because Heaven is not working out.

Nicole asks EJ how long he thinks they have to stay out to give Stefan space for whatever he’s planning. EJ has no idea what Stefan has in mind. Nicole says Stefan is dreaming if he thinks he can keep stringing Chloe and Gabi along. EJ believes he heard Chloe was not returning his calls. Nicole informs EJ that Chloe left town because she had it after Brady lied to her and she thought she had something with Stefan until she found out that he was just programmed to fall for her. The waitress comes by to ask if they are ready to order. Nicole orders the steak that Sloan is having but the waitress informs her that Sloan got the last one, so Nicole asks for a few more minutes to look over the menu. Eric has some of Sloan’s steak and comments that it’s so good. Nicole rolls her eyes and asks why they don’t just take it back to her place. EJ responds that he’s sure they will eventually.

Stefan tells Gabi that he’s not lying and that he really was going to call her. Gabi questions if he was going to call her and Chloe and hope for a threesome. Stefan says no, unless she’s in to that. Gabi then throws her wine on him. Stefan can’t believe what she has done. Gabi says he deserved it and she can’t believe she was going to sleep with him tonight. Stefan begins to remove his wine-stained shirt and tells Gabi not to be upset. Gabi says she’s beyond upset. Gabi tells him about Rafe telling her to focus on the fact that he loves her, but says it’s hard to focus on that when he also loves Chloe. Gabi gathers her things so Stefan questions if she’s really leaving and tries to stop her. Stefan declares that he really does love her. Gabi responds that when he decides that she’s the only woman he loves, he can call her then as she then storms out of the mansion.

Steve continues talking to his vision of Kayla, who tells him about being in a locked room in Heaven and seeing Adrienne but it turned out to be Nick Fallon, who tricked her in to signing away her soul.

Eric and Sloan laugh together while Nicole complains to EJ that the PDA at their table has ruined her appetite. Nicole asks EJ what his excuse is. EJ responds that he just has a headache. Nicole questions him having a headache again and feels his face, which Eric notices. Nicole notes that EJ doesn’t feel like he has a fever. EJ responds that he just feels a bit off. Nicole suggests maybe her hangover was a bug she passed on to him. Nicole wants to check if they have aspirin. EJ says that’s not necessary but Nicole insists that he needs to take something for his headache. Eric realizes he forgot his glasses in the car to read the menu, so he gets up to go get them but realizes he left his keys. Eric turns back around but runs in to Nicole right as she gets up from her table.

Johnny brings Wendy to the DiMera Mansion where they see Stefan cleaning his shirt in the living room. Johnny points out that they have servants for that. Stefan responds that he can handle it himself. Johnny guesses his evening didn’t go very well. Stefan admits that it sucked because Gabi walked out on him.

Li calls for room service but hangs up when Gabi arrives at his door, asking if his dinner invitation was still open. Li says of course it is and invites her inside.

Steve talks to his vision of Kayla about her, Kate, and Marlena signing their souls away. She says somebody needs to help them. Steve says he would do anything but he doesn’t get this because Heaven is not a place of corruption. Kayla wonders if they got sidetracked from Heaven somehow and says whenever she’s in trouble, she turns to him, bringing up how many times he has rescued her. Steve wishes he could’ve saved her this time. His vision of Kayla asks him to help her one last time. Steve tells her to just tell him what to do. Tripp then comes home and finds Steve asleep on the couch. Tripp asks if he’s okay and who he was talking to. Steve responds that Kayla was there. Tripp calls that not possible. Steve insists that Kayla told him that she needed his help because Nick Fallon tricked her in to selling her soul to the Devil. Tripp says it was a dream and he was talking in his sleep. Steve swears that she was there and it was real. Tripp understands he’s thinking about her because today is their wedding anniversary and tomorrow is her funeral. Tripp notes that Steve also had a certain amount of beer and he totally gets it. Steve decides maybe he’s right, but it felt so real.

Eric tells Nicole that he was worried about her after she fainted, but she seems fine today. Nicole assures him it was nothing and asks how he is doing. Eric says he’s fine. Nicole calls that hard to believe since Marlena, Kate, and Kayla’s funeral is tomorrow. Eric would rather not talk about that. Nicole just wanted to say she was thinking about him and his family but tells him to forget it as she sits back down. Nicole realizes she forgot to get EJ’s aspirin. Eric goes back to his table and realizes he forgot his glasses. Sloan tells him to forget about it because she’s had enough of this for tonight and asks if they can just go home. EJ offers to take Nicole home and says they can go out on another proper dinner date another night.

Li is curious why Gabi is there since she made it clear on the phone that she had no interest in seeing him. Gabi claims that she realized they should talk about the divorce. Li thinks back to Sloan telling him there are ways to drag it out. Li tells Gabi that he doesn’t want a divorce, but he knows she does and he loves her enough to want her to be happy, so he will talk to his lawyer to get the ball rolling. Gabi asks if he’s serious. Li responds that he always is. Gabi thanks him. Li says it’s the least he could do.

Johnny questions Stefan calling Gabi “Chloe”. Stefan says he didn’t mean to but he’s clearly still not thinking straight. Johnny and Wendy blame it on Li, Kristen, and EJ. Stefan remarks that he was everybody’s pet project. Wendy mentions hearing Dr. Rolf will be released on bail, so maybe he can undo what he did to him. Johnny encourages that Stefan can go back to the guy he used to be and that he hears that Stefan was totally in love with Gabi back then. Stefan confirms that he was. Wendy adds that his feelings for Chloe are like Dr. Rolf’s idea, so he should be able to make them disappear. Stefan responds that the weird thing is, he’s not sure that he wants him too.

Tripp starts cleaning up which Steve questions, saying that it’s Valentine’s Day so Tripp should be out with some nice girl. Tripp responds that all the nice girls he knows already have a date. Steve asks about Wendy. Tripp questions why he asked about her. Steve says he heard Tripp and Joey talking about her, so he suggests giving her call and asks what he has to lose. Tripp says he’d lose his self respect since she already has plans.

Johnny and Wendy question how someone could want to stay brainwashed. Stefan explains that what Dr. Rolf did only made him show up at Chloe’s door, the rest was him. Stefan says he started talking to Chloe and remembered how much he liked her which was well before he and Gabi were serious. Stefan adds that he and Chloe were getting somewhere which was not Dr. Rolf’s idea and then the truth came out, so he remembered how much he loved Gabi. Johnny comments that Dr. Rolf really messed with his head which Stefan acknowledges. Wendy guesses it must be pretty confusing. Stefan questions who says it’s not possible to have deep feelings for two different people. Wendy remarks that she can only imagine what that’s like while Johnny comments that stringing two women along like that doesn’t seem very manly. EJ and Nicole then come home. Nicole asks if they can join the party while Stefan calls it more of a wake.

Li asks Gabi if she’s had dinner which she admits she hasn’t. Li says he was just about to order room service, but he can order for two. Li then points out that she’s not with Stefan on Valentine’s Day. Gabi responds that she was with him and they were going to make love for the first time in forever. Li asks what happened. Gabi claims nothing. Li says she’s been obsessing over him since finding out he was alive, so he questions what stopped her tonight. Gabi then reveals that Stefan called her Chloe which causes Li to bust out laughing.

Eric brings Sloan home. Sloan calls Valentine’s Day a bust. Eric is sorry they didn’t get to have dessert. Sloan thinks they can still salvage the evening, assuming he still wants to do that. Sloan knows tonight was awkward and tomorrow will be one of the worst days of his life, so she will understand if he just wants to call it an evening, but if he wants to rip off her clothes and forget about everything else in the world, she’s up for that.

EJ and Nicole head upstairs. Nicole says she doesn’t know what was going on downstairs with Stefan but she didn’t want to hang around and find out. EJ says he didn’t either. Nicole adds that there was enough awkwardness for the evening. EJ then informs her that he heard what Eric said to her about her fainting in the park and questions why she didn’t tell him. Nicole calls it just a couple seconds and no big deal. EJ says it is to him. Nicole asks why. EJ brings up that Nicole said she changed her mind about them sleeping together. EJ tells Nicole how lovely and desirable she looks this evening. Nicole reminds him that they’ve been taking it one day at a time for exactly one day now. EJ points out that she didn’t seem so reluctant yesterday but supposes that was the alcohol talking. Nicole doesn’t know why since she only had two drinks. EJ suggests a kiss goodnight which Nicole calls an excellent next step as they then kiss.

Gabi tells Li to stop laughing as it’s not funny. Gabi blames Li for the whole nightmare since he played God with Stefan’s life. Li responds that he did that because he’s crazy about her. Li adds that Dr. Rolf could do whatever he wanted to him and it would never change that he’s crazy in love with him. Li says it makes him sick when Stefan is playing both ends when he could have Gabi all to himself if he wanted which is all Li wants. Li adds that if he ever went a little overboard, that’s why. Li admits maybe he went a lot overboard. Li asks Gabi to stay for dinner, which she agrees to do.

Stefan tells Johnny and Wendy that if they are hungry, the kitchen is cooking dinner for two and he’d hate to see it go to waste. Wendy jokes that they were just going to have popcorn which Stefan questions being dinner. Johnny explains that they are going to be streaming Evil Dead 2. Stefan jokes about Johnny knowing how to treat a woman on Valentine’s Day. Johnny remarks that he seems to be doing better than Stefan did. Stefan tells them to enjoy their night and exits. Johnny tells Wendy that maybe he’s right if she wants to watch something else. Wendy responds that she doesn’t care what they watch as she just wants to be with him.

Eric tells Sloan that he thinks he wants to go to bed. Sloan says she understands. Eric clarifies that he means with her. Eric wants just what she said, to forget about everything else in the world and be with her. Eric and Sloan then start kissing.

EJ tells Nicole that he guesses this is goodnight. Nicole says what the hell and continues kissing EJ. EJ stops her and asks if she’s sure. Nicole says yes, unless he’s not. EJ then opens the door to his bedroom and she pulls him inside as they shut the door.

Tripp brings Steve a drink to restore his electrolyte balance. Steve thanks him and tearfully calls him a good son. Tripp tells his dad that he loves him. Tripp asks if he’s going to get some sleep. Steve says he will eventually and tells Tripp to go ahead as tomorrow is going to be a long, hard day. Tripp says goodnight to Steve and heads to his room. Steve starts to cry and thinks back to his last wedding to Kayla. Steve asks how he’s supposed to let Kayla go. Steve insists that seeing her earlier was just so real and questions where she is. Steve adds that he would go anywhere to help her as he holds their wedding photo. Steve declares that his vow to her remains the same; he will love her until the end of time. Steve wishes Kayla a happy anniversary.

Update written by Joseph

At Basic Black, Brady finds an arrangement of roses for Valentine’s Day sent by Stefan to Chloe. Brady dumps the roses in the trash and drops the card on the floor. Brady then pulls out his phone and calls Chloe. Brady leaves a message, saying he knows he’s left 20 messages since she checked out of the Salem Inn but he’s worried about her and no one he knows has seen or heard from her. Nicole then arrives and reveals that she has.

EJ and Stefan enter the living room of the DiMera Mansion. Stefan praises Nicole for closing an Italian deal for Basic Black and being on fire. EJ says unlike him and remarks that he doesn’t know what’s wrong with him. Stefan comments that EJ lost his train of thought, but thankfully Nicole was there to save them and bring it home. Stefan asks if EJ is alright. EJ says he’s just a bit foggy again but it will pass. Stefan suggests he needs a good stiff drink which he accepts. Stefan then goes to pour EJ a drink and drugs it again.

Gabi joins Rafe in his office at the police station and questions what is taking so long. Gabi complains that she hasn’t heard from anybody and tells Rafe that he needs to release Dr. Rolf now so he can finish fixing Stefan. Rafe reminds her that he’s happy to do that as soon as Dr. Rolf comes through with the goods on Li Shin.

Sloan goes to Li’s hotel room and informs him that Dr. Rolf wrote a long statement, detailing everything Li had done to Stefan, but as their attorney, she convinced him not to sign it and that it was his best chance to avoid being charged. Li remarks that speaking of charges, he got her first bill. Sloan responds that she may be easy, but she’s not cheap. Sloan asks him what’s wrong since she just made the Dr. Rolf problem go away, but he still doesn’t seem happy. Li responds that he is, but now he just wants to know what she’s going to do about his Gabi problem.

Nicole questions Brady trashing the roses and picks up the card to see they were from Stefan. Brady states that Stefan needs to go back to Gabi. Nicole is pretty sure that was the idea of the forced deprogramming she put him through. Brady mentions Anna telling him about that and asks if Gabi really held Stefan prisoner in the DiMera basement which Nicole confirms. Nicole explains that Dr. Rolf showed up to zap Stefan’s brain but his machine broke halfway through the procedure, so Stefan does love Gabi now but he also loves Chloe. Nicole talks about feeling bad for Stefan. Brady continues to argue that Stefan should be with Gabi. Nicole agrees that Brady should be with Chloe and mentions that she even told Stefan that after the procedure. Brady asks Nicole about speaking with Chloe and if she’s okay. Nicole says kind of but she’s freaked out since she’s been on an insane roller coaster caught between Stefan and Brady. Brady brings up that Anna told him that Chloe went to the DiMera Mansion to tell Stefan that they shouldn’t see each other anymore. Nicole confirms that and brings up that once she got there, Stefan’s feelings for Gabi were back and Chloe just had to get out of there. Brady asks Nicole to tell him where Chloe is, but Nicole says she can’t. Brady questions why not so Nicole reveals that Chloe doesn’t want to see him either because she’s still upset about him breaking up with her out of the blue and moving Kristen in. Brady argues that now she knows why he did it but Nicole says that Chloe doesn’t understand why he didn’t confide in her first. Brady complains that he couldn’t because Kristen was blackmailing him. Nicole explains that Chloe still wishes he told her so she could help him and that he trusted her. Brady repeats that Kristen was threatening him with Marlena, Kayla, and Kate’s lives and then they died anyway. Brady admits maybe he should’ve said something, then maybe they would have been saved. Nicole says what happened to the women is not his fault. Brady says all he knows is that they are gone. Brady complains that this tragic set of circumstances and then losing Chloe is all too much. Nicole encourages that he hasn’t lost Chloe and she’s just overwhelmed and needed space. Nicole reminds Brady that she is on his side and she wants him and Chloe to be together. Brady asks what if they are stuck in love limbo indefinitely. Nicole says nobody wants that including Stefan. Nicole declares that sooner or later, Dr. Rolf will finish the procedure and everything will go back to the way it should be; Brady with Chloe and Stefan with Gabi.

Gabi complains to Rafe that this waiting is torture, so he needs to release Dr. Rolf. Rafe tells her to chill while Gabi complains about Stefan having feelings for her and Chloe. Rafe says he feels for her and that’s why he’s trying to get the information on Li. Gabi doesn’t want to be reminded that she’s married to him. Rafe says he’s trying to get the evidence to charge him. Gabi thought Dr. Rolf was writing his statement. Rafe confirms that he did, but then Sloan walked in and somehow kept him from signing it.

Li tells Sloan that Gabi is infatuated with Stefan and hates his guts. Li brings up Gabi wanting a divorce. Sloan reminds him that they can fight that and says she could drag it out in court for months or even years, though it could get expensive. Li assures that money won’t be an issue and tells her to just keep him out of prison and keep him in his marriage. Li says he’ll find a way to get Gabi to forgive him and forget all about Stefan.

Stefan gives EJ his drugged drink and claims he hopes it will get him to shake off the cobwebs. Stefan toasts to always looking after each other and to family. Before they take their drink, Chad walks in and says he wants in on this as well. Chad hugs them and mentions hearing about Stefan’s impromptu session with Dr. Rolf and that he got his feelings for Gabi back when Stefan confirms. Chad is happy that Stefan is back in the right state of mind but admits he still has reservations about Gabi. EJ adds that he does too but their reunion isn’t a done deal yet, because Stefan still has feelings for Chloe. Stefan remarks that there are worse fates than being in love with two beautiful women. Chad is not sure he agrees but says since it’s Valentine’s Day, he will drink to that. Chad says first he needs a drink, so EJ offers him his drink which worries Stefan.

Brady reminds Nicole that it’s Valentine’s Day. Nicole says she promised Chloe that she wouldn’t tell anyone where she is. Brady says he just wants to talk to her but she’s not answering her phone. Brady wants to be able to ask how she’s doing, tell her that he misses her and that he loves her. Nicole promises him that Chloe knows. Nicole reminds him that tomorrow is Marlena’s funeral, so she thinks he should just let this go for now and focus on helping his family get through that. Brady agrees to try and decides he doesn’t want to talk about himself anymore. Brady asks how Nicole is. Nicole says she’s fine and hungry. Nicole mentions closing the Italian deal. Brady questions her about calling in sick yesterday about a weird hangover. Nicole calls it weird because she only had two drinks but felt like she got hit by a trick. Brady tells her that she’s not the only one because Eric is drinking. Nicole says she knows because she ran in to him yesterday and his breath smelled like beer. Brady informs her that Eric invited him to join him which surprises her. Brady assures that he declined but he’s worried that Eric is not in a good place. Nicole points out that he did just lose his mom. Brady says that’s definitely part of it, but he thinks there’s a little more to it. Brady argues that he thinks Eric and Nicole miss each other more than they’ll ever admit. Nicole doubts Eric’s drinking has anything to do with her since he’s moved on and prefers hanging out with Sloan Peterson. Brady asks what about Nicole as he hears she’s been hanging out with EJ. Brady questions what’s going on there and if Nicole has moved on.

EJ decides he doesn’t need the drink right now. Chad asks if he’s okay. EJ says he has a bit of a headache and tells Chad the drink is all his. Stefan interrupts and offers to get Chad a fresh one but EJ says it’s fine as he didn’t touch it. Chad then takes a drink of the drugged drink but spits it back out, noting that it was so strong and asks what he put in it. Stefan guesses it was too much of something. Chad decides he’ll get a club soda and goes to dump out the drink which he calls disgusting.

Rafe tells Gabi that they are lucky that Dr. Rolf isn’t on some DiMera Island and the judge saw that he’s a flight risk, so he denied him bail. Rafe assures Gabi that Dr. Rolf is not leaving the police station until he signs his statement. Gabi points out that his lawyer won’t let him. Rafe feels five minutes with Melinda Trask will make it clear that Dr. Rolf either flips or he’s going away for life. Gabi argues that Melinda can do that after Dr. Rolf wipes Chloe from Stefan’s mind. Rafe says Melinda is gone for the day, so it will be first thing tomorrow. Gabi cries that she needs this done today because it’s Valentine’s Day so she and Stefan need to be together. Rafe encourages her to look on the bright side as not long ago, Stefan couldn’t stand the sight of her and now he’s in love with her. Gabi continues to bring up Chloe. Rafe bets it’s temporary. Gabi asks how he knows and continues complaining about Chloe. Rafe reminds her that Stefan said many times that Gabi was the love of his life. Gabi questions why he isn’t with her then and why they are not together on Valentine’s Day. Gabi worries that Stefan wants Chloe more than her.

Sloan reminds Li that he’s told her multiple times that Gabi hates him. Li acknowledges that she has good reason to. Sloan is curious on what Li’s plan is to turn that hate back in to love.

Jada runs in to Stephanie outside the Brady Pub. They hug as Stephanie thanks her for sending flowers after Kayla’s passing and says it was so thoughtful. Stephanie says she’s been meaning to call her. Jada tells her not to worry as she knows she’s dealing with a lot. Jada asks how she and Steve are doing. Stephanie admits they are all a mess and she doesn’t know how they will get through Kayla’s funeral tomorrow. Jada assures that they are all here for her and her family, tomorrow and always. Stephanie tells her how much she appreciates that and asks how Jada is. Jada says she’s fine and just focused on work. Stephanie mentions hearing that she and Eric broke up. Jada says it’s fine and just wasn’t meant to be. Stephanie asks if Jada is still living above the Pub. Jada says she’s been so busy with work that she hasn’t been able to look for a new place. Jada adds that she and Eric seem to be on different schedules so they haven’t run in to each other much. Eric then approaches and greets them.

Brady asks Nicole again what’s going on with her and EJ. Nicole claims not to know what he means. Brady brings up that they have been married twice and now she’s living in his house, so he was curious if there’s anything romantic going on or if he’s right that she just can’t get Eric out of her head. Nicole says she has a meeting to get to and encourages Brady to hang in there as she’s sure that he and Chloe will get back together before he knows it. Nicole then quickly exits the office.

Stephanie decides she should get going. Jada tells her to call if she needs anything. Stephanie hugs Eric and says she’ll see him tomorrow as she then walks away. Jada tells Eric that she’s sorry about his mom, aunt, and stepmom. Eric thanks her and says he knows she and Kate got close. Jada talks about Kate being there for her. Eric comments that it’s nice to see she’s moved on. Jada mentions that Eric has too since she heard he’s dating Sloan Peterson.

Sloan brings up Li saying he didn’t want a divorce but he felt he had no choice and there was no way to turn this around. Sloan reminds him that she told him to think outside the box, so she assumes he took his advice with his renewed confidence. Sloan asks what his plan is. Li responds that it’s not fully formed yet so he’s open to ideas. Sloan tells him that she can handle the legal side but not the personal issues like love. Sloan states that Valentine’s Day is just another day to her. Li asks for her suggestion since he loves Gabi but she despises him. Sloan sees a man sitting in his hotel room, who is careful and deliberate. Sloan says if there’s one thing she’s learned, if you want to get anything, you have to be aggressive. Sloan advises him to stop worrying about how other people will feel about what he’s going to do and just do it. Li comments that she sounds a lot like Gabi. Li says underneath Gabi’s tough exterior, she’s a huge romantic. Sloan thinks he has found his play. Li agrees that he shouldn’t try to win Gabi back with logic, reason, or the perfect argument to change her mind and he should instead go straight for her heart.

Chad gets club soda and asks what they should toast to next. EJ proposes a toast to Chad’s new beginning with Stephanie which they drink to. Chad says he’s sorry to break up the party but he promised the kids pizza for dinner. Stefan says to send Thomas and Charlotte hugs from their uncles. Chad agrees to and wishes him luck with his situation because he’s going to need it. Chad then exits. Stefan offers EJ another drink to celebrate their victory. EJ thanks him but says he’s going upstairs to shower to try and clear his head. After EJ heads upstairs, Stefan shuts the doors. Stefan tells the portrait of Stefano and tells him that he’s not going to kill EJ, he’s just going to give him a few more doses so that he feels like going off the deep end and then he will be out at DiMera. Stefan declares that he will turn his attention to vengeance tomorrow because tonight is for love as he pulls out his phone..

Rafe reminds Gabi that Stefan said he loved her with all his heart. Gabi confirms that they kissed like they’d never been apart which is why she doesn’t understand why Valentine’s Day is almost over he hasn’t called yet. Rafe bets that Stefan is planning a special surprise for her and that her phone is going to ring any minute. Gabi’s phone then does ring which excites her, but it’s Li. Gabi answers and Li says he’s so glad she picked up. Gabi says she’s not and questions why he is calling her. Li tells her that it’s Valentine’s Day, so a husband is calling to invite his wife over for a romantic dinner. Gabi tells him that he nauseates her so the thought makes her gag. Li suggests they can discuss their divorce then. Gabi tells him there’s nothing to discuss and to just sign the papers, so she can be done with him. Gabi tells Li to lose her number and hangs up. Rafe says he’s sorry but he had a good feeling. Gabi then sees a missed call from Stefan and gets excited that he left a voicemail. Gabi plays the voicemail on speaker and listens to Stefan say it’s Valentine’s Day and he can’t stop thinking about her. Stefan asks her to come see him at the house as he’s counting the minutes until they are together again.

Eric informs Jada that he and Sloan are a casual thing. Eric asks if Jada is seeing anyone. Jada says she’s not really looking to get in to anything right now. Eric says things didn’t work out between them but he wants her to know that he thinks she’s great and whoever she chooses to be with will be a lucky person. Jada tells him to enjoy his night and heads in to the Pub. Eric then pulls out his phone.

Nicole goes to EJ’s room at the DiMera Mansion, looking for him. EJ then comes out from the shower in just a towel. Nicole says she just wanted to check on him since he seemed a little out of it at the office. EJ says he’s fine now as the shower seemed to do the trick. EJ asks if Nicole managed to shake off the last of her nasty hangover. Nicole assures it’s all done now. Nicole decides she will go but EJ reminds her that they agreed he would take her out on a proper dinner when she was feeling better. EJ asks if Nicole is up to it tonight.

Stephanie goes to see Chad at the Horton House and says she got his message, inviting her over so here she is. Chad asks if she’s okay. Stephanie admits that tomorrow is weighing on her but she’s trying not to think about it. Chad hugs her and says he’s here for anything she needs. Stephanie thanks him and says it means a lot. Chad asks if she’d rather be at her home. Stephanie assures that she’s exactly where she wants to be and she’s glad he called. Chad jokes that he was scared she got a better offer for Valentine’s Day. Stephanie asks what could be better than pizza with her new guy and his two adorable kids.

Sloan guesses Gabi is not coming over. Li confirms that she said the thought of having dinner with him makes her physically ill, but he knows underneath, her feelings for him are still there because that passion doesn’t just go away. Sloan guesses there will be no Valentine’s Day reunion then. Li guesses he’ll just waste another day here alone, unless Sloan wants to have dinner with him. Sloan admits she can’t say she’s not tempted, but then she gets a call from Eric, who asks if she has plans tonight. Sloan says possibly but Eric tells her to break those plans because he thinks they should have dinner. Sloan suggests meeting at her place in 30 minutes but Eric says he was thinking a restaurant and invites her to the Bistro. Sloan agrees to see him there and hangs up. Sloan then tells Li that she’s sorry as she has plans tonight, so Li’s going to have to eat dinner on his own. Sloan then exits the room.

Stefan sets up a candle lit dinner at the DiMera Mansion as Gabi then arrives in a red dress.

Rafe is picking up a cheeseburger at the Pub when he sees Jada having a beer, so they decide to sit together.

Nicole questions EJ wanting to go to dinner tonight, reminding him that it is Valentine’s Day. Nicole says a meal with him is kind of a big deal. EJ tells her that what happened at the office today is kind of a big deal, one they wouldn’t have closed without her. Nicole is not sure about that. EJ says he was struggling hard but Nicole came in with confidence and carried them over the finish line, so that’s an achievement worth celebrating. Nicole says that’s nice of him but points out the holiday. EJ tells her the deal was an Italian deal, so they can pretend they are in Rome where it’s February 15, a regular day with zero expectations. Nicole tells EJ to go get dressed and she will change, then they will head out.

Sloan meets Eric at the Bistro. Eric greets her and tells her she looks great as he pulls her chair out. Sloan wants to get straight that she knows it’s Valentine’s Day, but this is not a date, and she only came for the ribeye so he can get rid of the side order of romance.

Stefan tells Gabi that she looks beautiful. Stefan tells her about an opera and hearing a song in his head and heart when he looks at her. Stefan says he’s so happy that she accepted his invitation. Gabi asks why he went through all this trouble if he had any doubts. Stefan says it’s never any trouble to make the woman he loves feel special. Stefan points out that he got their favorite wine.
Gabi can’t believe he remembered. Stefan responds that he remembers everything now. Gabi says there’s nothing more she wants than for that to be true as it’s all she has wanted since he came back. Gabi talks about it not just being sex but their love and magic. Stefan then kisses Gabi.

Chad and Stephanie finish eating pizza. Chad hopes she saved room for dessert as he then calls Thomas and Charlotte in to the room. The kids reveal that they made Stephanie a cookie valentine. Chad says they had been baking all day long. Stephanie calls it so thoughtful and beautiful as she thanks them. Stephanie then informs them that she brought them a Valentine’s surprise too and gives them a box of heart candy. Thomas opens his box to give one to Stephanie. Stephanie offers to share her cookie but Thomas says they had their cookies. Thomas suggests she share her cookie with Chad.

Jada tells Rafe that it’s nice sharing a table with him. Rafe thanks her for letting him join. Rafe and Jada toast to a Happy Valentine’s Day.

Chad jokes about the kids being out like a light after their sugar cookies. Stephanie calls the cookie so special. Chad tells Stephanie how special she is and says it means a lot to her that his kids are so happy around her. Stephanie says she loves being around them too and their dad as they then kiss.

Eric tells Sloan that they don’t have to call this a date, so Sloan asks what they are going to call it. Eric suggests foreplay. EJ and Nicole then arrive at the Bistro and see them.

Brady calls Chloe, leaving another message to let her know that Nicole told him that she’s okay which he’s happy to hear and that Chloe might need some space, so he’s going to respect that and give that to her. Brady adds the he loves her and misses her very much. Brady wishes Chloe a Happy Valentine’s Day and hangs up.

Li pours himself a glass of wine while looking at the other empty glass. Li then imagines if Gabi did show up to be with him on Valentine’s Day. Li finishes his glass of wine and then pours another.

Stefan asks Gabi if they should have dinner but Gabi doesn’t want to waste another minute and suggests they go upstairs which Stefan agrees with. Gabi tells Stefan that she loves him while Stefan responds “I love you too, Chloe,” leaving Gabi confused.

Update written by Joseph

Xander and Gwen ask Jack and Jennifer if they are going to give them the Spectator or will Jennifer be going to prison. Jennifer responds that the answer is no. Jack tries to argue but Jennifer declares that they are not giving them the paper. Jennifer remarks that they can’t comprehend the amount of work and pain that Jack put in to the paper and insists that it’s a good paper that does something important in town. Jennifer refuses to let them slither in and take it from Jack. Gwen mocks Jennifer’s speech and brings up that it was Jennifer, who got high and hit her with her car and then drove off. Gwen calls that cowardly and illegal which means prison time. Gwen adds that as her victim, she thinks Jennifer richly deserves that. Jennifer says that’s something they can both agree on. Jennifer tells Gwen to go ahead and call the cops because she has it coming.

Leo sits in the town square, talking to himself about beginning to write gossip for the Spectator about Alex and Allie at the bar. Leo ends his statement by saying that the Kiriakis brothers have a penchant for breaking hearts. Sonny then walks up and questions what Leo is babbling about now.

Gabi goes for a jog until she comes across Wendy in the park. Gabi questions her not being at work. Wendy says she took an early lunch since things were pretty slow at the office. Gabi asks if that’s the only reason since she looks like she just lost her best friend. Wendy responds that he wasn’t her best friend and that they only knew each other for a couple months. Gabi guesses she’s talking about Johnny DiMera.

Johnny repeats to Paulina that if she’s worried about anyone coming in between Allie and Chanel, it should be Alex because he’s the problem. Johnny brings up Chanel always finding Allie and Alex together and also finding Alex’s underwear at Allie’s home. Johnny argues that stuff like that is messing up between Allie and Chanel, so if anybody is to blame for their problems, it’s Alex.

Allie tells Alex that Chanel cannot know he’s there. Alex suggests if they ignore her, she’ll go away. Chanel then finds her keys and begins to unlock the door while Allie asks Alex what now?

Wendy tells Gabi that after spending all that time together pretending to be a couple, she realized she was feeling things for Johnny and on New Year’s Eve, they kissed. Gabi guesses they faked something for so long that it became real. Wendy says that’s how it seemed, so they decided to start dating but the problem is, he’s still hung up on Chanel.

Paulina tells Johnny that she knows Alex is a bit of a loose cannon but he also makes a convincing scapegoat. Paulina argues that she wants to talk about Johnny and Chanel, but he keeps bringing up Alex, so she thinks he’s trying to blame Alex for something he did. Paulina says Alex may have a habit of showing up where he’s not wanted but there’s more than enough blame to go around. Johnny questions if it’s his fault that he and Chanel walked in on Allie and Alex together at the bar. Paulina says no but it is his fault that he almost kissed Chanel at the hospital and he’s the one that got Chanel all turned around. Paulina declares that Johnny can swear all he wants that it’s Alex’s fault, but it’s his too.

Chanel enters the apartment. Allie claims she was on the phone and apologizes for not letting her in. Chanel says it’s okay as she found her keys in the bottom of her purse. Allie questions what she’s doing here. Chanel responds that she wanted to talk to her about Alex.

Johnny tells Paulina that he gets she is protective of Chanel, but promises that he respects the fact that she is with Allie. Paulina questions how nearly kissing her does that. Johnny admits he went too far, but that’s over now and nothing happened between them. Paulina says Chanel told her that they almost did something they’d both regret. Johnny points out that they didn’t and they stopped. Paulina questions why his focus is on Chanel anyways and argues that if he really wanted to make sure nothing happened, he’d steer clear of her altogether. Paulina reminds Johnny that he and Chanel are divorced, then asks if there’s not another girl he could be chasing after..

Gabi questions if Wendy is just going to give up on Johnny. Wendy argues that she’s facing the reality that Johnny is still very attracted to Chanel, if not in love with her. Gabi argues that is not a reality, but a nagging doubt and not worth throwing in the towel over. Gabi reminds Wendy that she was the one who told her not to give up on Stefan. Wendy calls that different since Johnny isn’t being programmed to go after Chanel. Gabi feels that she was in a similar situation since Stefan was in love with Chloe and she thought it was a lost cause, but Wendy reminded her that she’s not someone who gives up. Wendy feels that no one would ever say that about her, but Gabi says she would. Gabi brings up that when she first met Wendy, she barged in to her hotel room to demand tickets to the DiMera Gala and then when she showed up in Salem, she demanded a promotion. Wendy feels that was no big deal but Gabi insists that it was. Gabi asks what’s different about fighting for a man and fighting for a job. Wendy responds that the job isn’t still in love with his ex wife.

Alex hides under the table while Allie asks Chanel what she wants to say about Alex. Chanel brings up last night when she saw them together and apologizes for what she said. Chanel admits she overreacted. Allie knows how it must have looked. Chanel acknowledges that it wasn’t that a big of a deal and she’s done her fair share. Allie suggests they go for a walk and talk about this. Chanel says she first has to say that she got so upset because of all the crap going on between them and that is on her. Allie disagrees but Chanel insists that she just jumped to the wrong conclusion when she found Alex’s underwear and she should’ve just listened to her since she is her girlfriend and she trusts her. Chanel declares that she wanted to come here and tell her that she believes her that nothing happened between her and Alex.

Leo informs Sonny that he is writing a gossip column. Sonny assumes he got hired by The Intruder but Leo calls himself a respected journalist that wouldn’t stoop to working for a rag like that. Leo then reveals he’s been hired by the Spectator which shocks Sonny.

Jack questions what Jennifer is talking about. Jennifer says she’s talking about finally paying for the crime she committed. Jack argues that this is giving in to blackmail while Gwen argues that Jennifer deserves to go to prison and just admitted it herself. Jack brings up Gwen drugging people and says she shouldn’t be the one talking about people who deserve to be punished. Jack asks about Sarah and how Gwen turned her in to a vegetable. Jennifer remarks that Xander did not exactly trade up. Xander holds Gwen back and acknowledges that Jennifer hates them for a reason. Gwen says if Jennifer is ready to face the music, she’s ready to call the tune. Gwen that calls the police and asks to speak to Rafe, saying it’s quite urgent.

Sonny tells Leo that it doesn’t make sense since The Spectator is a real paper that covers real issues. Sonny asks how delusional Leo is and if he actually got a contract. Leo admits he doesn’t have a contract yet. Sonny tells him not to hold his breath because Jack would never hire him and already turned him down. Leo argues that proves that Jack doesn’t know anything about running a paper and should’ve been forced out long ago. Sonny reminds Leo that Jack owns the paper. Leo says for now which Sonny questions. Leo then reveals to Sonny that Jack is giving the Spectator to his best friend Gwen, who is going to be the new editor-in-chief which shocks Sonny, who can’t believe it. Leo talks about always searching for the perfect words as a journalist and clarifies that it’s more like Gwen is prying the paper from Jack’s cold hands.

Gwen states that she is on hold and gives Jennifer one last chance to change her mind. Jennifer tells Gwen to do her worst. Rafe then answers the call. Gwen says this is urgent but Jack grabs the phone from her and tells Rafe that he’s sorry to bother him and that Gwen just wanted to tell him that he’s doing a great job. Jack hangs up and tells Gwen that she can have the paper which shocks Jennifer.

Paulina tells Johnny that Wendy seems like a really nice girl and very understanding of everything Johnny put her through with Chanel. Johnny confirms that she is and admits he really likes her and for a moment, he thought there was a real shot between them but that was before he blew it all to hell. Paulina says she’s learned in Salem that there is no such thing as blowing it all to Hell, or else she’d be single now. Paulina encourages Johnny to stop moping around and do something if he thinks they have a future. Paulina suggests Johnny find Wendy and tell her that he made a huge mistake.

Wendy tells Gabi that it’s not just Johnny being hung up on Chanel, but that she doesn’t know him very well. Gabi encourages that getting to know each other is the fun part. Wendy asks what if she finds things out about him that aren’t so great. Gabi calls that a negative attitude and says Wendy is expecting the worst. Wendy feels it’s for good reason since Allie said some scary things about Johnny, especially about how he treats women, almost like she was trying to warn her off. Gabi explains that Allie probably also thinks Johnny is hung up on Chanel and is mad at him. Gabi adds that it only matters what Wendy feels. Wendy admits that she likes Johnny, so Gabi tells her that if she wants Johnny then she has to fight for him. Gabi then walks away.

Allie tells Chanel that she’s right that nothing happened that night. Chanel apologizes for thinking that it did and assures that nothing happened between her and Johnny, but admits that Johnny did drive her home that night and for a second, she thought something might happen which Allie questions. Chanel explains that she was just so upset when she saw Allie and Alex together and thought she cheated on her, that she thought if she slept with Johnny, she could pay her back but thankfully she didn’t because Allie means way too much to her to risk losing her. Chanel adds that is why she wants to put all of this behind them and stop all this fighting so they can work this out. Chanel tells Allie that she loves her. Allie says she loves her too. Allie and Chanel then kiss, until Alex’s phone rings in the room.

Jennifer argues that Jack can’t give Gwen the paper and calls it wrong. Jack responds that what’s wrong is Jennifer going to prison. Jennifer complains that Jack spent his whole life building the paper. Jack says they built it and did what they set out to do. Jack cries that it was supposed to be Abigail’s legacy but Abigail is gone, so if giving Gwen the paper means Jennifer keeps her freedom, that’s an even trade to him. Jennifer thanks him. Jennifer asks if Gwen is finally satisfied since she came to Salem in the first place to make Jack suffer. Gwen responds that she just wanted what was hers. Jennifer argues that it was never enough and she had to make everybody else suffer. Jennifer says Gwen did everything she could to destroy Jack’s family and when that wasn’t enough, she took his life’s work. Jennifer asks if that’s finally enough and if Gwen is finally satisfied.

Johnny decides maybe Paulina is right that he just needs to let Wendy know how he feels about her. Johnny worries that he doesn’t know what to say after everything that has happened. Paulina encourages him to call Wendy and say it’s Valentine’s Day and he wants to see her. Paulina decides her work here is done. Paulina tells Johnny to stay away from Chanel as she then walks away. Johnny then pulls out his phone.

Alex stops his phone ringing while Chanel asks Allie if she’s going to answer that. Allie says no and blows it off as robocalls driving her crazy. Chanel then questions if Allie changed her ringtone. Allie claims that she did yesterday and asks who cares about her phone since Chanel is back. Chanel then gets her phone and says she has to check something first. Allie questions if Chanel is really going to call her phone. Chanel then calls Alex and his phone rings again. Chanel tells Allie it was a nice try and then calls out to Alex that he can come out now. Alex then reluctantly emerges from underneath the kitchen table as Chanel remarks that it’s fancy meeting him here.

Sonny questions what Leo means that Gwen pried the paper from Jack’s hands. Leo claims he’s in the middle of something and suggests they catch up later. Sonny stops him and says that’s not going to happen as he demands Leo tell him what happened. Leo asks him to just forget he said anything but Sonny refuses. Sonny declares that Leo is going to tell him what exactly went down between Gwen and Jack. Leo thinks that’s between Gwen and Jack. Sonny states that is between them as he grabs Leo and asks what Gwen did.

Jennifer mocks Gwen not being satisfied as she doesn’t think she ever will be. Xander feels this conversation has stopped being constructive. Jack asks if that’s because he got what he wanted or if he’s just trying to shield Gwen from being so fragile. Xander suggests maybe he’s trying to shield Jennifer from having to point out that none of this would’ve happened if she hadn’t gotten behind the wheel while high as a kite. Xander adds that not only could Gwen have been killed, but many innocent bystanders could have been as well. Jack argues that Jennifer is sorry for that. Xander brings up how Jack wouldn’t even have the paper if he didn’t blackmail it from Leo’s mother and says they can go back and forth on and on about their crimes. Xander doesn’t think they are enjoying their company anymore, so they will get going. Xander hopes they see this not as a door closing, but a window opening. Jack hugs Jennifer and tells Gwen to never call him “dad” again. Xander and Gwen then exit together.

Johnny sits outside the Pub and begins texting Wendy but he can’t figure out what to say. Johnny tells himself to just face the facts that Wendy doesn’t want to see or hear from him and he blew it. Johnny then gets a call from Wendy, who asks him to meet her in the park.

Alex tries to tell Chanel that this is not what she thinks as they got drunk last night, came back here, and he was in bad shape so he crashed in the office like last time. Chanel asks Allie if that’s true, but she admits that it is not. Allie then reveals to Chanel that she and Alex slept together.

Leo tells Sonny that he can’t reveal his sources. Sonny demands Leo tell him what Gwen did but Gwen and Xander arrive and separate them. Xander questions what Sonny thinks he’s doing. Sonny responds that he’s tracking down a story. Gwen warns Sonny that he will find out it’s not wise to attack one of her journalists. Sonny mocks them and questions if Xander is okay with stealing Jack’s newspaper after everything Jack did for them. Gwen argues that Jack gave it to her. Gwen says they are going to celebrate and invites Sonny to be Leo’s plus one but Sonny says he’ll pass. Leo tells Sonny that he doesn’t know what he’s missing. Leo, Gwen, and Xander then head in to the Salem Inn.

Johnny meets Wendy in the park and asks her what’s up. Wendy responds that she was wondering if he had any plans tonight.

Allie tries to explain to Chanel that it wasn’t anything they planned but Chanel screams at them and says they didn’t do anything to avoid it. Alex argues that Allie was just really upset about Chanel and he was a mess over Stephanie, so they thought they could go out for a drink. Alex blames himself. Chanel tells him to go away. Alex asks her not to blame Allie but Chanel yells at him to just go. Alex says he thinks they are great together and he cares about them both as he then leaves the apartment. Allie tells Chanel that Alex was trying to cover for her, but she was drunk and not what she intended to happen as she thought Chanel was going to hook up with Johnny. Chanel responds that she wouldn’t betray her like that but obviously Allie didn’t feel the same. Allie insists that she loves Chanel and only wants to be with her, so she asks if they can just forget this ever happened. Chanel cries that she’s sorry but she just can’t do that.

Wendy thought maybe she and Johnny could do something tonight. Johnny says he’d love to but he thought she changed her mind about him. Wendy responds that she did, but then she changed it back. Johnny points out that it’s Valentine’s Day. Wendy suggests they could see that horror movie but Johnny says that was one night only. Johnny then says it’s streaming, so they could go to his place and watch it together. Wendy says it’s a date.

Xander, Gwen, and Leo go to their room at the Salem Inn. Xander says he will go call for champagne. Leo praises Gwen for pulling it off and says everything is turning up roses. Gwen comments that it would seem that way. Leo encourages that by the time they make their mark on the Spectator, Gwen and Xander will be Salem’s hottest power couple. Gwen guesses they’ll just have to wait and see.

Jennifer tells Jack that she’s so sorry and says it’s all her fault because they could only do this to Jack due to what she had done. Jack responds that he only blames Xander and Gwen. Jennifer acknowledges that Jack tried so hard with Gwen. Jack doesn’t want to talk about them anymore and wants to spend Valentine’s Day with Jennifer. Jack suggests a romantic lunch at the Bistro which Jennifer says she’d like very much. Jack adds that giving Gwen the paper was selfish on his part because he just couldn’t live without Jennifer as they then hug.

Sonny goes home and calls Will, leaving a message to call him back because he will not believe what he just found out. Alex walks in and asks what he just found out. Sonny then informs Alex that Gwen, with the help of Xander, is stealing the Spectator from his uncle Jack and to add insult to injury, they hired Leo to run the gossip column. Alex remarks that it’s just what Salem needs, more dirt. Sonny notes that Alex seems to be in a foul mood. Alex calls that an understatement and says he just got back from Allie and Chanel’s. Sonny jokes that they usually have a lot of fun together, so he asks what happened. Alex responds that he destroyed their relationship.

Allie argues that this can’t be it and that Chanel knows how much she means to her. Allie calls being with her being like nothing she’s ever felt. Allie calls Chanel her best friend and says when Chanel kissed her for the first time, it opened up a new part of her that she didn’t even know she had. Allie cries about coming out to her family and friends and realizing how special it was and how lucky she was. Allie says they have been through so much together and shared so much. Allie repeats that Chanel opened up a new part of her and she loves her so much that it can’t be over between them. Chanel responds that she’s sorry, but it is. Chanel acknowledges that what she said is true, they did share everything and they did love each other, but now they are just hurting each other. Chanel declares that the last thing she ever wants to do is hurt her, so she thinks it’s best if they just end things now before they hurt each other even more. Chanel says goodbye to Allie and exits the apartment. Allie then breaks down crying.

Update written by Joseph

Leo and Gwen sit in their beds in their room at the Salem Inn. Leo complains about how boring the Spectator is and says he can’t wait until Gwen and Xander take it over. Gwen sits nervously as she worries that Xander said he would be there first thing in the morning to talk strategy. Leo suggests Xander is probably just at the gym since working out his body is a full time job. Leo tells her to have a chocolate and relax. Gwen questions where he got the chocolates. Leo claims they were giving them out at the front desk but Gwen reads a card that came with them and realizes that he stole somebody’s chocolates. Leo assures Gwen that Xander will be there. Gwen asks what if he’s wrong and Xander changed his mind to go back to Sarah.

Sarah wakes up in bed with Rex. Rex says he’s been asking himself if there is a more beautiful sight anywhere in the world than a sleeping Sarah Horton and the answer is no. Rex surprises her with a rose and wishes her a Happy Valentine’s Day.

Johnny confronts Xander in the town square and accuses him of murdering his grandmother.

Chanel wakes up at Paulina’s where Paulina is making her famous heart shaped waffles. Paulina wishes Chanel a Happy Valentine’s Day. Chanel recalls Paulina making these every Valentine’s Day in Florida. Paulina figured she would revive them since Chanel is staying here until she and Allie work things out. Chanel informs her that after last night, she may be staying here longer than expected. Paulina asks what happened last night, so Chanel reveals that she almost cheated on Allie.

Allie wakes up in bed alone and complains of a headache. Allie thinks back to being with Alex last night and kissing on the couch. Allie tells herself that maybe it was just a dream but Alex comes out of the bathroom and asks if she has any aspirin. Allie then questions what she has done.

Jack is at home and comments that he’s being blackmailed by his own daughter and friend, questioning what the world has come to. Jennifer then comes home and surprises Jack, joking that she didn’t think she was gone long enough for him to start talking to himself. Jack then excitedly hugs her. Jack questions why she didn’t call him so he could pick her up from the airport. Jennifer wanted to surprise him for Valentine’s Day. Jack can’t wait to celebrate but Jennifer wants to know why he was so upset when she first walked in.

Johnny warns Xander that he’s a DiMera. Xander tells Johnny to get his facts straight because he had nothing to do with what happened to Susan as it was Ava who killed her. Johnny blames Xander for kidnapping Susan along with Bonnie. Johnny hopes it was worth it. Johnny argues that Xander could have turned Ava down but he didn’t because he’s greedy, worthless scum. Johnny remarks that he doesn’t know how a woman like Sarah Horton stays married to him. Xander responds that she can’t and reveals that Sarah is divorcing him, then asks if Johnny is happy now.

Sarah worries that Rex is upset. Rex senses some regret from her. Sarah assures that last night was great and reminded her of what it felt like when they first fell in love, but she’s just coming out of her marriage so she’s not ready to do anything with anyone, anytime soon as far as jumping in to things. Sarah asks if he can understand that. Rex responds that he can sure understand that she used him to get over Xander.

Allie starts freaking out and can’t believe what she and Alex did. Alex gets dressed and tells her that they did it more than once. Alex asks if it was that bad. Allie admits he was amazing so Alex jokingly asks if she wants to do it again but she says no. Allie calls what happened last night monumentally bad. Alex asks why she’s freaking out now when she was all about it last night even though they were both hammered. Alex asks if he misread things. Allie assures that she did want to sleep with him, but she can’t believe that she did this and completely betrayed her girlfriend.

Paulina asks Chanel how many times she has to tell her that she and alcohol don’t mix. Chanel assures that she and Johnny were not drunk. Paulina points out that someone polished off her wine. Chanel reveals that they poured it but did not drink it. Chanel explains that she ran in to Johnny, who invited her to a movie, but she offered to buy him a drink instead and they walked in to the bar to find Allie and Alex Kiriakis.

Allie goes over that first she cheated on Tripp with Chanel and now she’s cheated on Chanel with Alex which makes her a serial cheater. Alex tells her it’s not a big deal. Allie argues that she can’t have meaningless sex like him because she’s in a committed relationship or at least was until last night. Alex says he likes hooking up but saying it’s meaningless is not fair. Alex says the whole mess with Stephanie taught him things and says he’s not casual anymore as he now understands there can be real feelings involved, even love. Allie apologizes and says she’s just furious with herself but is taking out on him. Alex says it’s okay. Allie wishes she could go back in time and change the way she behaved last night, questioning why she got so upset about seeing Chanel with Johnny. Alex points out that Chanel was upset too. Allie points out that Chanel wanted to take her home and work things out, but she was such an unreasonable bitch that Chanel left with Johnny. Alex then tells Allie to look on the bright side; maybe they cheated too which shocks her.

Sarah tells Rex that she didn’t mean to make him feel used but Rex laughs it off and assures that it’s okay as he knew last night was all about rebound sex for her. Rex says he would have to be a complete idiot to think she suddenly fell back in love with him after all this time, but if being with him helps her forget about Xander then he’s happy to be of service.

Leo tells Gwen that there is no way that Xander is with Sarah since she wants nothing to do with him and he is totally in to Gwen now. Leo believes Xander and Gwen will be engaged again in a month. Gwen says that she and Xander slept together once and he made it very clear the next morning that he wasn’t ready to jump in to anything with her. Gwen worries that she scared Xander off by telling him that she loved him before they slept together which Leo calls her first and second mistake.

Xander tells Johnny the sad tale of his marriage coming to an end. Johnny thinks it’s fantastic that Sarah finally got the sense to dump him. Xander is glad his misery could bring him such joy. Johnny remarks that it will bring Sarah joy too when she moves on with someone else and calls Xander a heartless animal. Xander says he has to go but Johnny says they aren’t finished. Johnny reminds him that this conversation started with his role in his grandmother’s death, so it won’t be finished until he’s paid.

Jack reveals to Jennifer that Gwen and Xander are blackmailing him. Jack calls it so awful that it doesn’t seem real but it’s really happening. Jennifer argues that they can’t just hand over the paper as it’s their life’s work. Jack asks what choice they have since they are threatening to go to the police to tell them that Jennifer hit Gwen with her car while she was high on drugs. Jennifer says to let them and then offers to go to the police station herself to make a full confession.

Xander warns Johnny to let him go. Johnny asks if he’s going to kidnap him too. Xander argues that Susan was never supposed to get hurt and that he let her go. Johnny argues that he let her go straight to her death which Xander blames on Ava. Johnny bets that Susan prayed on her way down for herself and for God to have mercy on Xander’s soul because that’s the kind of woman she was. Johnny calls Susan kind, generous, and loving. Johnny shouts that Susan deserved a long life with a peaceful ending but that’s not what she got. Johnny says Xander can deny it or blame Ava all he wants, but he knows damn well the part he played in Susan’s death. Xander says he regrets what he has done. Johnny doesn’t want to hear it but he’s sure that Rafe would be very interested that Xander just confessed. Xander says he’ll just deny it since it’s hearsay. Johnny responds that he recently learned that there are loopholes around those kind of things. Xander tells Johnny that he is truly sorry about Susan. Johnny remarks that people like him don’t feel remorse. Johnny declares that Xander is not sorry, but he will be. Xander then heads in to the Salem Inn.

Paulina questions Chanel almost sleeping with Johnny because she saw Allie doing shots with Alex. Paulina argues that it was more innocent than she thinks. Chanel insists that she knows what she saw and that Allie was in to him. Paulina blames it on the alcohol. Chanel argues that Paulina is just making excuses for Allie. Chanel complains about Allie letting Alex sleep over naked, getting wasted with him, and giving all kinds of signs that she’s in to him but Paulina wants her to think it’s just innocent fun. Paulina says she’s just telling her that she likes Allie and the two of them together, so she doesn’t want Chanel to give up on her until she’s sure that Allie has given her a damn good reason to.

Allie finishes a call with Will and says she’ll be by to pick up Henry later. Alex apologizes for what he said before as he didn’t mean to upset her. Allie asks how he thought she’d feel about the suggestion that her girlfriend slept with her brother. Alex says he knows she was feeling guilty and he just wanted to make her feel better by saying they’d be even. Allie laughs at his logic. Alex admits he’s not a relationship expert, but he does know that Allie and Chanel have something special and he cares about them both, so he’d hate to think he played a part in messing things up for them. Allie says he isn’t a part of the problems they’ve been having and he didn’t betray anyone last night. Allie declares that this is all on her and it’s her mistake to fix. Alex asks what she’s going to do. Allie responds that for starters, she’s going to tell Chanel the truth that she and Alex slept together. Alex argues that the last thing she should do is tell Chanel about them. Allie questions if she should let her find out from somebody else. Alex questions how when nobody knows but them and he would never say anything, so as long as she doesn’t, everything will be fine. Allie disagrees and says she’s been in this situation before when she cheated on Tripp with Chanel and then Johnny told him about it. Allie says in Salem, secrets have a way of coming out. Alex talks about being a player before and finding himself in potentially disastrous situations, so he knows how to keep his mouth shut. Allie questions thinking she should lie to her girlfriend every day and ignore the guilt she feels of sleeping with him behind her back. Allie declares that it’s not right and she won’t do it, so she has to tell her. Allie argues that it’s the only way but Alex disagrees. Alex reminds Allie of how Chanel reacted to finding his underwear when that was innocent and nothing happened but she still freaked out and left. Alex tells her to just imagine how furious Chanel will be if she tells her that they actually did sleep together. Alex worries that Allie might not ever see Chanel again. Alex insists that it’s better for everyone involved if Chanel does not find out about what happened last night.

Paulina tells Chanel to finish telling her about how seeing Allie suck Alex’s lemon almost led her to doing whatever she did. Chanel wants to change the subject but Paulina insists. Chanel tells her that she and Johnny came back here and started reminiscing, so they almost kissed again but Johnny realized it would be a mistake. Paulina comments on Johnny showing some common sense for once. Chanel calls Johnny a decent guy who has been a really good friend to her. Paulina knows she’s been through a lot the last couple months and she will always be here for her, but Allie is her girlfriend and she needs her support. Chanel wishes she had it and she could be there for her too. Paulina tells Chanel that it’s time to stop wishing and she needs to move back in with Allie if she wants to fix things. Paulina instructs Chanel to go handle her business.

Jack tells Jennifer that it’s just a business but Jennifer argues that the paper is a part of who they are and it means nothing to Gwen and Xander. Jennifer doesn’t want to let them take more from them and says it means too much while Jack argues that she means more and she could go to prison. Jennifer argues that maybe it won’t come to that since it was an accident so they could put her on probation or suspend her license. Jack doesn’t want to risk it and says he’ll do anything to protect her including handing over the paper to the daughter he disowned and the son of a bitch that he was foolish to befriend.

Gwen sarcastically thanks Leo for pointing out all the mistakes she made with Xander. Leo says he didn’t mean to be discouraging and that he’s rooting for them. Gwen decides she can’t wait anymore but Leo encourages her to be patient and push her negative thoughts away. Gwen hopes that if she and Xander take over the Spectator, all those long days and nights will bring them closer in every way like it did for Jack and Jennifer. Xander then shows up at the door. Leo greets him as the boss and asks what to call him when he turns in his gossip column. Xander responds that he won’t be calling him anything, because they’re not taking the paper away from Jack.

Rex and Sarah get dressed. Rex asks if she’d be open to having a Valentine’s Day breakfast with him and promises it’s just as friends. Sarah accepts but Rex hopes she doesn’t feel guilty. Sarah insists that she doesn’t and that she and Xander are getting divorced even though she hoped he would change. Rex says people like Xander never do change.

Leo questions Xander saying they’re not taking the paper from Jack which he confirms. Gwen questions his change of heart. Xander explains that he just ran in to Johnny DiMera, who is distraught over the loss of his grandmother and he blames him. Xander notes that Johnny said he’s incapable of feeling remorse. Gwen argues that’s not true which Xander questions, pointing out that he kidnapped an innocent woman for money and now he’s extorting the one true friend he ever had. Leo argues that Jack does not deserve his pity and that he blackmailed the paper away from his mother. Xander tells Leo that he’s sorry but he’ll have to find another way to live out his fantasy as gossip girl. Xander declares that Jack can keep his paper and storms out of the room.

Jennifer and Jack talk about always thinking Abigail would take over the paper one day. Jack declares that as far as he’s concerned, he only ever had one daughter and he lost her, so he’ll be damned if he loses Jennifer too.

Chanel walks through the town square and finds Johnny sitting alone. She asks if he’s okay. Johnny responds that he’s just missing his grandmothers. Chanel says she’s sorry and asks if he needs anything. Johnny says he’s good. Chanel tells him that she’s off to try and hash things out with Allie after Paulina gave her another talking to. Chanel thinks Paulina is right since she really does love Allie and wants to be with her. Chanel thanks Johnny for being the voice of reason last night as she wouldn’t have been able to come back from cheating on Allie and probably would’ve ruined their entire relationship. Johnny wishes her luck. Chanel thanks him and walks away.

Alex asks Allie what she has decided to do about Chanel. Allie decides that she thinks Alex is right which he didn’t expect. Allie says she was adamant about coming clean and she hates lying but she can’t risk the consequences of telling the truth, so she agrees with him that it will be better if what happened last night stays between them.

Xander runs in to Rex and Sarah in the town square. Xander remarks that he thought Rex was working with Doctors Without Borders. Rex informs him that he’s in town to support his family after losing his mother and his aunt. Xander says he’s sorry and guesses Sarah is playing the role of supportive ex-wife by taking him to breakfast. Sarah then responds that breakfast was actually Rex’s idea because they woke up starving after spending the night together.

Leo complains about Xander picking now to grow a conscience and declares that Johnny DiMera has ruined everything. Gwen doesn’t think Xander’s 180 was about Johnny or Susan. Leo asks what she thinks brought it on then. Gwen worries that Xander realized he doesn’t want to be in bed with someone like her. Leo disagrees but Gwen says that what Xander was saying about being incapable of remorse is her influence. Gwen believes that Xander sees her as an evil temptress luring him back to do all the things that he worked so hard to stop doing and the things that make him hate himself the most. Gwen declares that she brings out the worst in Xander, unlike Sarah. Leo argues that Johnny just laid a guilt trip on Xander and he will shake it off. Gwen says all that talk about not wanting to be judged and wanting to be accepted for who he is, is just talk, as what Xander really wants is to be the man that Sarah is proud to be with and that’s why he killed their plan.

Xander tells Sarah that’s not funny and guesses this is her way of getting back at him for sleeping with Gwen but this is beneath her. Sarah and Rex talk about being in bed together and in the shower. Sarah suggests she and Rex go to the Brady Pub for breakfast, so they walk off together. Gwen and Leo then come out of the Salem Inn. Gwen calls out to Xander and asks if everything is alright. Xander responds never better and asks Gwen if she’s ready to go to the Horton House because they have a newspaper to takeover. Gwen thought he changed his mind but Xander says screw that and declares that nice guys finish last as he storms off. Leo encourages Gwen to go, so she follows after him.

Jennifer brings Jack her first ever Spectator byline from the attic. Jack recalls her story about a horse and how he was her editor. Jack comments on what a team they were. Jennifer asks if he’s sure he’s ready to let the paper go.

Johnny walks past the Pub and runs in to Paulina. Paulina warns Johnny to steer clear of her daughter.

Alex tells Allie that he should get going since Valentine’s Day is huge for Titan, so Victor will be blowing up his phone. Allie tells him to have a good day and thanks him for everything. Alex goes to leave but Chanel knocks on the door, calling out that it’s her and she can’t find her keys. Allie worries while Chanel looks through her purse for her keys.

Rex and Sarah have breakfast at the Brady Pub. Rex asks Sarah how it felt to give Xander a taste of his own medicine. Sarah admits it felt really good as they laugh together about it.

Xander and Gwen go to the Horton House. Gwen comments on not knowing Jennifer was in town. Xander guesses Jack filled her in on their proposal. Jennifer accuses them of extorting the paper from them. Gwen asks Jack if he will be handing over the Spectator or if Jennifer will be spending Valentine’s Day in lockup?

Johnny promises Paulina that nothing happened between he and Chanel. Paulina says she knows but that there’s obviously unfinished business between them, so she worries that if they keep having these close encounters then Chanel and Allie are going to be in for a world of hurt. Johnny tells Paulina that she should be more concerned with all the time Allie is spending with Alex because that guy’s the problem, not him.

Chanel continues knocking on the door, saying she knows Allie is in there since she saw her car outside and asks if she’s awake. Allie worries that this can’t be happening while Alex suggests maybe she’ll go away. Chanel then finds her keys and begins to unlock the door while Allie and Alex panic inside.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 Uh, the spectator is so boring. Who cares about politics, wars, the economy. I’ve fallen asleep three times. I’m still on the front page. I can’t wait for you and Xander to take over this rag. Shock it back to life. Sanders said he was gonna be here first thing in the morning to talk strategy. He’s probably just at the gym.

Remember I told you last night working out that bodacious body of his is a full-time job here, have a chocolate stop stressing. What’d you do at those? They were giving them away at the front desk. I love a Valentine’s Day free beef. Thank you for the lovely night in front of the fire missing you, Les.

Who’s Les? Mattie? I think you’ve stolen somebody’s chocolates. Oopsy here. Just enjoy one. Oh wait, not that one. None of those Here. You can have one of those two. Relax Quinny. He’ll be here. What if you are wrong? I mean, what if he’s changed his mind and he is gone back to Sarah

been watching me sleep. I’ve been asking myself a question. A question. Is there. A more beautiful sight anywhere in the world than a sleeping Sarah Horton , and the answer, the indisputable answer is no.

Happy Valentine’s Day.

Hey, I want to talk to you. Trying to me, what could you and I possibly have to discuss? Oh, I don’t know about the fact that you murdered my grandmother.

Good morning, sleep. Oh, something smells incredible. Is this what I think it is? , my famous heart-shaped waffles, . Happy Valentine’s Day baby.

He used to make these every Valentine’s morning back in Florida. . Well, I thought it might be nice to revive the tradition since you’re staying here with me until you and Ally work things out. Oh, um, about that after last night, I. Maybe staying here longer than expected. Why? What happened last night? I almost cheated on Allie.

Oh, my head.

Wait, where’s a few weeks ago you said that I was hot. One of the hot women you’ve ever been with, so were you lying?

Not even a little bit.

Maybe it was just a dream. Oh, you have any aspirin?

Oh God, what have I done?

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

Blackmail by my own daughter and my best mate. What’s this world coming to?

I didn’t think I’d been gone long enough for you to start talking to yourself. Jennifer, miss mc. God, yes,

Why didn’t you call me? Let me, let me pick up the airport. You were coming home. I wanted to be a surprise for Valentine’s Day. I can’t think of a better idea. I can’t wait to celebrate. Mm, same here. But before we do, I want you to tell me why you were so upset when I first walked in.

Okay. Now, I’m not a kid. I’m a man and a Dara. You’d be wise to remember that. Look, clearly you’re upset. You need to get your facts straight. Had nothing to do with your grandmother’s untimely demise. David Vitale killed Susan. Yeah, after you helped David kidnap her. And Bonnie too. Don’t forget, Bonnie, your cousin’s wife, you know your own family.

You grabbed her two and for what? A cut of some ransom money from my dad that you never even saw. I hope it was worth it. Clearly you’re very angry, but rather than blaming me, oh, of course I blame you. I blame you. You could have turned Ava down, but you didn’t because you’re greedy, worthless, scum. And frankly, I don’t know how a woman like Sarah Horton stays married to someone like you.

She can’t what? Sarah’s Divo. You happy there?

Franks? Um, about last night. Oh, not it? No, don’t look at me like that. . Like what? Like you’re upset. No, no. I’m not upset. I just, I’m sensing some regret from you. No, no, no, no, no. Last night was, It reminded me of, of what it felt like when we first fell in love. But, but I am just coming out of my marriage and I just, I really am not ready to.

Do anything with anyone anytime soon as far as jumping into things. Can you understand that? Sure. I can Really? Yeah. You use me to get over Xander.

Oh my God. I can’t believe this. You can’t believe what? What do you mean? Can’t believe what you know, that you and I? Yeah, we did more than once. Don’t remind me. Was it really that bad? No, it was fine. Fine. Okay. You were amazing. Thank you. Did you wanna do it again? No one. Okay. I’m just asking. Chill. Chill.

How am I supposed to chill? What happened last night was like, monumentally bad. Epically bad. Allie, why are you freaking out right now? I mean, you were all about it last night, at least from what I could tell. I know we were also both hammered, but Oh my God. Please don’t tell me I misread this. No, no. Alex, you didn’t misread anything.

I, I did wanna sleep with you. It’s. What I can’t believe that I did this. I completely betrayed my girlfriend.

Chanel, how many times do I have to say this? You alcohol and cute boys or girls donuts? Johnny and I weren’t drunk. Someone polished off my wine. Report it, but we didn’t drink it. Wait, back up. Now you left here last night. You and I. Space and I went for a walk, and then I ran into Johnny, and then he asked me if I wanted to go watch a horror movie.

And so I told him no, but I told him that I would buy him a drink instead. Mm-hmm. . I was just killing time. And so we walked into the bar and we walked in on the worst thing I could have seen, which was. And Alex Kikis. First I cheated on trip with Chanel and now I have cheated on Chanel with you. Do you know what this means?

This means I’m a serial cheater. Allie, relax. It’s not that big of a deal. Of course it is. I know sex doesn’t mean anything to you, but uh, it means a ton to me. Why else would I have so much of it? You have one time, no strings attached. Meaningless sex. I cannot do that because I’m in a committed relationship, or at least I was until last night.

I don’t even know why I’m talking to you about this. It’s not what you’d understand. Oh, I understand Ellie, and look, I like hooking up. But to say that it’s meaningless, that’s not fair.

Look, this whole Stephanie thing falling for her, screwing things up with. It taught me a lot, and yes, I may still have casual sex, but I’m not casual about sex anymore for the first time in my life, I understand that there can be real feelings involved. Even love. Sorry Alex. I’m just furious with myself, but I’m taking it out.

It’s okay. How give anything to go back in time and change the way I behaved last night. I mean, seeing Chanel with my brother, why did I get so upset? I mean, she was pretty upset too. Yeah, but she wanted to fix things. She wanted to take me home, have me sleep it off, and I was just such an image to her unreasonable bitch that she ended up leaving with Johnny.

Look on the bright side, maybe they cheated.

I, I, I never meant to make you feel used at all. I’m, why are you smiling ? Because I, it’s actually okay. Really? I knew all along last night was just about rebound sex for you. You did? Mm-hmm. . Look, I would have to be a complete idiot to think that you suddenly fell back in love with me after all this. But hey, if being with me helps you forget about Xander, then I’m happy to be of service.

There is no way Xander is with Sarah. How do you not? First of all, she wants nothing to do with him. Second, he’s totally into you. Now I give it one month, two months tops before your re-engagement announcement runs in the Spectator. And of course you will give Lady Whistleblower the exclusive on all the wedding details.

Yeah. I wouldn’t buy your bridesmaid dress just yet. What are you waiting for? You and Zander are sleeping together, right? It happened one time and um, he made it pretty clear to me the next morning that he wasn’t ready to jump into something with me. Why? Well, lots of reasons, Mattie. But

the big one, I think I scared him off a bit because I told him I loved him. That was your first mistake, and that was before we slept together. That was your second mistake. So there you have it. The sad tale of my marriage coming to an end. Well, I don’t think it’s. I think it’s fantastic. She finally got the sense to dump you.

Oh, I’m glad that my misery can bring you so much joy, Johnny. I’m sure it’ll bring Sarah some joy too. You know, when she moves on somewhat new. Someone who’s not a heartless animal. It’s been lovely talk Kim Johnny. But I really have to go. Oh, we’re not finished. I believe we are. This conversation started with your role in my grandmother’s death, and it won’t be finished until you’ve paid.

Sandra and Gwen are blackmailing you. It’s awful, Jennifer. It is. It is. So h it doesn’t even seem real, but it is. It’s really happening. They can’t expect us to just hand over the. It’s our life’s work. What choice do we have? Let’s not end to go to the police and tell them that you hit Gwen with your car and drove away while you were high on drugs.

Well let them, better yet, I’ll go down to the station myself and make a full confession

for what you gonna kidnap. Me too. Susan was never supposed to go her. That was never part of the plan. She admit taking her. I let her go. Oh yeah, you let her go. You let her go right to her. Eva held her at gunpoint, it forced her into that hill, and I bet when they were speeding down that dark road, I bet my grandmother started to pray.

Not just for herself, but for you two, for God to have mercy on your soul, because that’s the kind of woman she was. My grandmother was kind and generous and loving. She deserved a long life with a peaceful ending, but that’s not what she got, is it? Now, when that car went crashing through that guard, All she felt was sheer terror.

That’s how she got to spend the last moments of her life. And then you can deny it, you can blame, maybe vitali all you want, but you know damn well the parts you played in her death. I can’t tell you how much I regret what I’ve done of it. I was sick when heard what happened to Susan. I don’t want to hear it.

But my ex stepdad, the police commissioner, I’m sure he’d be very interested to know that you just confessed. Maybe I’ll give him a call right now. You can tell RA whatever you want. I’ll just deny it. It’s hearsay. It’s not admissible in court. I recently learned there are loopholes around those kinds of things.

Like I said, it’s been nice chatting. For what it’s worth, I am truly sorry about Susan. People like you, you don’t feel remorse. You’re not sorry Sandra, but you will be.

You’re telling me. Almost slept with Johnny because you saw Allie doing shots with some guy, not some guy. Alex, what? What if that was more innocent than you think? I know what I saw Mama. She was into him. Well, they were throwing back to kill shots. Do enough of those and you’ll be into just about anything.

But I am sure that all that Ali was doing was indulging in a little, uh, alcohol-induced flirt. There you go again, making excuses for her. Just like when I found his underwear, all I said was that her story made. She lets him sleep over naked, gets wasted with him at the bar, sends out all kinds of signals as she wants him, and you want me to think that I have nothing to worry about.

It’s all just innocent fun. Is that what you’re telling me? No, baby, baby. All I’m telling you is I like Ali. I like the two of you together and I just don’t want you giving up on her until you are absolutely sure she has given you a damn good reason to.

And whenever I ask him, who do you love the most? He always says, and we all know . Right. Yeah. Um, okay, well I’m gonna be by to pick Henry up later, so thank you Will Allie about what I said before, just drop it. I did not mean to upset you. How did you think I was going to react to you suggesting that my girlfriend slept with my brother?

I knew you were feeling guilty and I just wanted to try to make you feel better. You know, you’d be even, or whatever

the logic of Alex Cian. I know, I know. I admit I am not a relationship expert, but I do know you and Shail have something very special, and I do care about you both and I’d hate to think that I played any messing things up for you boys. No, you didn’t. You’re not responsible for the problems you’ve been having and, um, you did not betray anyone last.

This is all on me and, uh, it’s my mistake to fix. So what are you gonna do? Offer starters. I’m going to tell Chanel the truth that you and I slept together. Um,

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. What the last thing you need to do is tell Chanel about us. Really? Should I let her find out from someone else? Allie, how the hell would that happen? It’s just you and I, who know? I would never say anything, so as long as you don’t, everything will be fine. No, everything’s not going to be fine.

Alex, I’ve been in this situation. I did not tell Trip when I cheated on him with Chanel and then Johnny went and blabbed about it and Trip was devastated. Yeah. But your brother was like possessed or something? Yes. Yes. And, and I don’t think that you are going to be taken over by the devil anytime soon, but this is Salem and Secrets have a way of getting out.

Okay. Well Allie, as you know, I used to be a player at one time. I used to crush a lot, and as such I found myself in, um, let’s just call them. Potentially dangerous, disastrous situations. I know how to keep my mouth shut and else do you think I should do lie to my girlfriend every day? Hmm. Ignore the guilt that’s already eating me alive.

Pray that every time I look her in the eyes, she doesn’t see the truth that I slept with you behind her back. Alex, I can’t do that. It’s not right and I won’t do it. I need to.

Hi. If you want to ruin your relationship, Alex, it’s the only way. What do you mean? It’s not the only way? Al you, you believe it’s the only way right now because you are in this like hole, the truth will set me free mode. But please let me give you a friendly reminder of how she reacted when she found my underwear in here the other morning.

It was innocent. You told her nothing happened between us. She didn’t believe. She freaked out, she left. So please just try and imagine how furious this girl would be if you tell her that we actually did sleep together.

You’re worried about trying to get her to move back in here. You might not ever see her again. Trust me. It is better for everybody involved if Chanel does not find out about what happened last night.

That was delicious. Mm, thank you baby. Uh, more coffee? Yes, please. Ah, so, ah, now, now finish telling me about how Sing Ali Sucked. Alex’s Lemon almost led you to almost do whatever you almost did. Can we just talk about something else like the weather, anything? Chanel fine. Okay, so Johnny and I, we came back here and we poured the wine and we started reminiscing about our time together in Italy.

And then one thing led to another and we almost kissed, oh Lord, gimme strength a. I said almost, Hey, Johnny, realize that it would be a mistake. Oh, woo. Well, once in his life, cast Nova showed some common sense. He’s a decent guy. Mama, huh? And he’s been a really good friend to me through all of this. Chanel, I know the past few months have been very difficult.

Oh, between your arrest and now this civil suit, it’s been a lot. And you know, I’m here for you. I will always be here for you. But Allie is your girlfriend and you need her support too. I wish I had it and I wish I could be there to support her too. Well, it’s time to stop wishing and start acting now. You need to move back in with Allie.

You’re kicking me out. No, no, of course not. My home will always be your home. But if you wanna fix things up with the woman that you love, you can’t do it by sitting around my kitchen or sitting at the bar with your ex-husband. You need to go handle your business,

okay? It’s just a business. Let’s not be rash here, Jack, just a business. That paper is a part of who we are to, to zander and gweneth means nothing, nothing. It’s just another way for them to take from our family. Well, you know what? I’m not gonna let them, it means too much. I know. You mean more, look, if they go to the cops, you could go to prison.

I don’t know. Maybe, maybe not. It might not come to that. I mean, you know, it it, it was an accident after all. I, I could get fined. Maybe they’ll put me on probation. They could suspend my license. I’m not willing, willing to risk it. I’ll do whatever it takes to protect you. I, I’m even handing over the paper to the daughter.

I disowned to the son of a bitch. I was foolish enough to befriend. Well, thank you Mattie, for pointing out all the numerous mistakes I’ve made with Xandra. I feel much better now. Pudding Pop. I didn’t mean to be discouraging, you know, I’m rooting for you in the X-Men. When I told him I loved him, I did call him a nor.

That’s good. It means you didn’t go full. Would you like me to do something unpleasant with these chocolates? Ah, don’t you dare. There’s only one trumpet covered. Cherry left. Well, I can’t eat anymore and I can’t wait anymore either. Patience is a virtue, my darling. Take some deep breaths. Push those negative thoughts away.

I’m not gonna let you give up. Who said anything about giving up? Sandra and I were gonna take over the newspaper. I’m hoping that all those long days and late nights are gonna bring us closer, you know, in every possible way. After all at work for my father and Jennifer. Isn’t that cute? Romantically idolizing your dad and your stepmom have ripping away their most prized possession

and.

Hello, boss Man. Come again. Oh, do you prefer Citizen Cook? I need to know what to call you in front of the copy Boys and Muck Rikers. When I show up at the Spectator to drop off my gossip column, you won’t be calling me. I didn’t say because we’re not taking the paper away from Jack.

Alex, can you help me do this class? Yes. Yes. You never could do this without my help. , there we go. Thank you. So Ms. Horton. if you’re not too busy saving lives at the moment. Mm-hmm. , would you be open to having a nice Valentine’s Day breakfast with me? Okay. Yeah. I mean, he is just as friends, I promise, right?

Yeah. You do. You do. You, you feel, you look a little guilty. You, you don’t feel guilty, do you? Eh? Why should I? I mean, Zander and I are getting a divorce because, because he’s a bad person.

Yeah, I, I know. Yeah, I know. Um, I think I just hoped he’d change. I know people like Xander, they don’t change. I mean, it may seem like they do, but in the end, he’s never gonna do the right thing.

Did he just say, we’re not taking the paper from Jack? That’s exactly what I said. What’s happens Ando? Why the change of heart? He’s ran into giant Dara. He’s distraught at the loss of his grandmother, and he blames me. Why? Or if he has poisoned Dr. Evans. Not you. Not that grandmother. You idiots. His other grandmother, Susan Banks.

He says, I’m incapable of feeling remorse. That’s not true. Isn. I agreed to kidnap a sweet, gentle woman for a payday. Now, here I am conspiring to extort the one true friend I ever had. Oh, please, Jack DeVere does not deserve your pity. He blackmailed control of the spectator away from my mother. If anything, by putting me at the mast head, you’re helping karma come back around.

Sorry, Leo. I have to find some other way to live out your dream of becoming the next gossip Girl, Jack can keep his bloody paper.

It’s just, I always imagined Abigail taking over the paper. Someday. Spectator was her birth. And now the idea of your other daughter taking over where Abigail so clearly belonged. As far as I’m concerned, I’ve only ever had one daughter whom I’ve lost.

I’ll be damned if I lose you too.

You okay Jean? Just missing my grandmother’s God, I’m so sorry. Do you need anything? No, I’m good. Well, uh, I am off to try and hash things out with Allie. Really? Yeah, mama gave me another talking too, and she said that she thinks that I need to put on my big girl pants and glow and work things out, and I think she’s right.

I really do. I love Allie and I just, I really wanna be with her. I know. Thank you for being the voice of reason last night. I, I don’t know what I would’ve done, but I know I wouldn’t have been able to come back from that if I had cheated on Allie. And I probably would’ve ruined our entire relationship.

Well, good luck. Thanks.

I would offer you a pastry, but I’m taking some time off work, , and, uh, we don’t have any, well, I’ll grab something on my way to work, but before I go, can you tell me what you decided to do about Chanel? Yeah. Um, obviously I’ve thought about it and I think you’re right. Really? I didn’t expect that. Well, I was pretty adamant about coming clean.

Um, As much as I hate lying, the consequence of telling the truth, I, I just can’t risk it. So I agree with you. Think it will be better for everyone if what happened last night stays between the two of us

Oh, days. Rex, the x. I thought you were off working for Doctors Without Brains. I’m in town to support my family. If you haven’t heard, my mother and aunt just died. Right? I’m sorry. Well, I suppose Sarah’s playing the role of the supportive ex-wife suggesting that you, you yacht for B. Actually breakfast was Rex’s idea.

We woke up starving after we spent the night together.

Great. Xander picks now to grow a conscience when we’re this close to becoming media moguls. Ah, damn that Johnny Damira. He’s ruined everyth. I don’t think Sanders 180 was about Johnny your season then. What do you think brought it on?

I think he realized he doesn’t wanna be in bed with someone like me, both literally and figuratively. Oh, come on now. That’s not it. Yes, of course. What he was saying about being incapable of remorse. That’s my influence. He sees me as this sort of evil temptress. He keeps luring him back to the dark side, encouraging him and enabling him to do all the things that he’s worked so hard to stop doing.

The things that make him hate himself the most.

I bring out the worst in him, unlike his precious Sarah Gwen. Gwen. Johnny laid a guilt trip on Xander. That’s a hole. He’s gonna shake it off. Oh, that. Talk about not wanting to be judged and just wanting to be accepted for who he is. I mean, that’s, that’s all that is. It’s just, it’s talk what Sandra really wants.

It’s to be the man that Sarah Horton would be proud to be with. That’s why he killed our plan.

Well, that’s not funny. Who’s laughing? Ah, I get it. You’re still tick D with Gwen and this is your LA way of getting back at me. But Sarah, this is beneath you. Actually, I was beneath her the first time. The second and third time. Oh, okay. In the shower. Yeah. That was incredible. Don’t even think about it.

You know what I actually think of Chris Knott’s Not gonna do it. I really did work up quite the appetite. Do you wanna go to the pup and get something a little more substantial? Sounds like a plan. See bud.

I can’t believe my career as a columnist is over before it even began. ZK

Z Everything. All right, never better. Are you ready Wayne? For what? To head to the Horton house. We have a newspaper to acquire, but I thought, ah, screw that. Nice guys finished last.

Well what are you waiting for? Go, go, go, go, go.

Yes. It is a strapping hunks prerogatives to change his mind.

Where’d you go? Up to the attic? I wanted to see if Graham had saved this. My first spectator byline.

I remember this story about a horse and my plucky cub reporter, Ms. H. Given the green light by my impossible to please editor Mr. De.

What a team Jack are you sure you’re ready to let the paper go?

Oh, hey, miss. Well, if it is at one half of the Salem Wonder Twins, the half that needs to steer clear of my daughter,

well, I should probably get going. Valentine’s Day is huge for Titan’s online publications. Any minute now Uncle Vic’s gonna be blowing up my phone asking about Adam impressions. Okay, well, um, have a good day and uh, thank you. For everything. I got you.

Allie. It’s me. I can’t find my keys. Oh my God. It’s Chanel. I know they’re in here somewhere.

So how did it feel? How did what feel giving Xander a taste of his own medicine?

It felt good, actually. , it felt really good

Seems we have company. Well, Jennifer didn’t know you were in town. Lovely to see you as always. Cut the crap. Gwen. I know what you’re here now. Take it. Jack filled you in on our proposal. If I proposal, you mean your plan to extort our paper from us then? Yes. Well, since we are skipping the pleasantries, let’s get right to it, shall we?

Dad, will you be handing over the spectator or will your wife be spending Valentine’s Day lock up?

Look, Ms. Price, nothing happened between Chanel and me. I promise. I know she. But there’s obviously unfinished business between you two, and I’m just afraid if you keep having these close encounters, my daughter and your sister are going to be in for a world of hurt. All right. Look, with all due respect, if I was you, I’d be more concerned about all the time Allie’s spending with Alex Kiya is okay.

That guy’s the problem, not me.

Allie, I know you’re in there. I saw your car outside. Are you a.

Open up. This cannot be happening. Baby shall go away. Oh, here they are.

First up, we have Mr. Turco who’s accused of attempted robbery. Your Honor, the security camera footage clearly places the defendant at the scene of the crime. So granny footage, that could be either my client or Bigfoot . Well, we don’t even need the camera footage because we have an eyewitness. Oh, sorry.

Your Honor, the, the witness could have seen anyone. My client has an undeniable every man look, he could be mistaken for anyone in this.

Council. Is your defense just finding people who look like your client? What do they Oh yes, my God. They do. Oh my. What are you doing here? I got caught robbing this lady’s store, . He’s joking. The only thing my client is guilty of is possession of a razor sharp wit . The defendant just confessed. Can we have the stenographer read that back?

Oh, did you guys start ? Your honor, I think we can wrap this up pretty quickly now. The prosecution is going to argue that the evidence is incontrovertible, and I will refute it point by point, successfully showing that it’s inadmissible. The bailiff is gonna drop her keys, , which, and since it is my client’s first offense, you’re obviously going to rule guilty

Damn, fine. Fine, fine. Well, you gotta. Key thing was pretty good, , especially the second time.

I don’t understand this new judge work is over. Why does she want us to stick? Well, maybe she got us a present. Maybe we can wear it. Oh, or eat it. Maybe we can wear it then Eat it. Chocolate jacket. . You know, if I were you, I get used to this.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

What secrets do you hold? Golden. There’s only one way to find out through that. Through that.

What the hell?

What were you and Joey talking about? He asked You were coming out with me, didn’t he? What? No. Okay. Yes, that’s exactly what he did. But don’t be mad at your brother. He just sees how much you’re hurting over what happened with your mom. And he didn’t want you to be alone. Yeah. Yeah. Except that’s not why he called you.

What do you mean? I mean that he wants us to spend some time together cuz he wants us to be a couple.

Did you want the strawberry shortcake ode or the Flowerless chocolate cake? Sounds lovely. Which one? Whatever you want. I want both. Obviously

I will call room service. You decide which cast of housewives you wanna watch. I was feeling Beverly Hills, but if you’re more in a New York state of mind, whatever. Stop it. Quinny. What am I doing? You’re doing nothing. That’s the point. We are supposed to be having a fun night of sugar, gossip, trashy tv, and you are lying there like a sad sack waiting for your Scottish beef cake to call.

I am not. Why hasn’t he phoned me yet?

Excuse me, Jack Wave.

Is this it? I don’t understand the question. Brent told me about the ultimatum you gave him. Sell me out or lose you forever. So, so should I assume that you and I were not me?

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

Were we ever really mates, Sandra, I’d like to think we were. I. Friendship goes both ways. It’s not just one person cleaning up another one’s messes. Now I screwed up. You didn’t screw up. You didn’t screw up. You kidnapped Susan and Bonnie. You’re just showing your true colors. I was desperate. I was trying to save my marriage.

And when they even made the don’t, don’t, don’t say that. Don’t gimme another excuse. You not only abducted those two women, you used my daughter to cover up your crimes, never intended to pull greed into that, but you did. You knew that Gwen’s still in love with you, and you took advantage of her feelings.

She was trying to better herself, trying to turn her life around, and you just dragged her down into your muck. I am truly sorry. I bet you are. But what you did was unforgivable. I’ve done bad things before. Jack, worse than this, but now you know.

The man I called my friend and learned and realized the difference between right and wrong. I watched you grow a conscience, and yet when it gets desperate, you’re aver to the same. Selfish losing, he’d always been. Turn you back on me. You want Jack? Please? Give quiet another chance.

Get outta bed. What the hell? I’ll command you to get out of bed. You command me Uhhuh. Go out at a girl now gimme your phone. No. What if he texts me? I don’t care. Just be careful of that. My God. You be careful. You are the one who is slipping into dangerous territory. My friend. What are you talking about? I am talking about you doing the big nasty.

With the big nasty. Now that you’ve slept with him, you have all these expectations. It’s a good way to get. We don’t even know what Zander’s thinking. He’s not thinking. He never does. Leaving you to stew in your own juices. Believe me, I’ve been there when we’re not talking about me. Look, I know that you’re playing the long game here.

Is that supposed to be some quip about, about Zander’s manhood? No, I was being sincere. Although when we were living in the same house, I did get a peek or two,

Matt. Oh, right. Uh, that’s neither here nor there. My point is for tonight, just let it go. Be in the moment and have some fun with your old girlfriend, Leo. Yeah, you’re right. Why am I mooning over Zander when obviously his sun rises in sets with s h.

Re Hi. Hi. I’m so sorry about your mom. Thank you. It all through be Kayla and Marlena too. I wish we could have done more. So do I. So why are you here? I’m here to deliver this to. You wrote Victor a letter? No, not me, my brother. You brother. You don’t mean it’s a letter from Philip

Tequila. Oh, this is funny to. I walk in here and I find your mouth on this boy, and you think it’s funny. Okay. My mouth was on the lemon, which just happened to be in Alex’s mouth. Right, right. I know how it looked like. I’m talking to my girlfriend. Okay. I understand it’s not, but it’s not like we were, we’re we were kissing.

Right? Like that. Hey Alex, maybe just keep quiet for a minute. I’m just trying to help you. Wanna help. Then maybe you should check yourself and you should start by checking to make sure you have your underwear. Um, Allie told me how you found my boxes in your apartment, but I’m telling you E no, I swear to you it is innocent.

Yeah, but there’s nothing innocent about what I just walked in on. Okay. You’re making way too big. Who am I? Am I then why does it seem like every time I turn around I find you two together? Oh. Oh. Like how every time I turn around I find you with Johnny.

So this is Joey playing matchmaker. Yep. Why is he trying to push us together? Uh, he’s seeing someone now and so I guess he figured at least one of us should win win. Like I’m some video games. Yeah. I’m sorry. Came out wrong. Um, what I meant to say was that, uh, I like you Mindy, for real, but I know that you’re dating giant Damara and I’m not looking to take someone else’s girl.

So,

Alex, why don’t, uh, why don’t you and I give these two little time alone, huh? No, no, it’s fine. I’m fine if everybody hears this because Chanel is the one who lied to me. How did I lie? You said that you were spending time at your mother’s, and yet here you are with my very own twin brother. Okay. All right.

We came to get a drink. All right. Seems like you and Alex are way ahead of us on that front. How, how many have you had, by the way? Uh, I mean,

They’re gonna, they’re gonna, they’re gonna run outta grass. Yeah. I, I’m glad this is amusing to you. It looks like I got my answer. Oh my God. Whatever you the drinking police, because if you are, you’re gonna have to arrest yourself. What does that, what does that even mean? It means why aren’t you here with Wendy instead of my girlfriend?

Phillip is in a mental hospital. Mm-hmm. . Yeah. He faked his own death and then tried to frame Brady for his murder. I clearly he needed help. Uh, did Brady and Chloe know he’s alive? No. No. I haven’t had a chance to tell him yet, but I will until then. Can you do me a favor? Can you just keep. Quiet. I know it’s not cool to ask you to keep secrets from your husband, but like you mean from, from Xander?

Yeah. Obviously. You mean Xander? Um, yeah. You don’t have to worry. Xander isn’t my husband anymore.

Look at me. No worry. That loser talking here. Did you just call me a lose? No, you’re not a loser. Quite the opposite. Gwe, you won, did I? Yes. Xander is no longer married to Sarah and with whom did he sleep last night? Me. What was that? I can’t hear you. Me. He slept with me. Yes, he did. And he’s a better man for it.

Then. Why hasn’t he fun me yet? I don’t know. Maybe he’s busy. Busy. I mean, what’s he doing? It’s not like he’s got a job. Still man, with a body like that, he’s gotta work out what, six, seven hours a day. Maybe they’ll call you in between his next set of squad AKs, maybe. But like you said, I, I fought for him.

You know, is it wrong that I want him to fight for me too?

I’m aware of that. You can’t just cut her out of your life. I can’t debate this. Last cuz you know you don’t have any ground to stand on. Gwen’s hurting Jack. Don’t punish her for something I did. You, you mean the world to her. She’s moving on and so am I just like that. What? Because she, she disappointed you Because I can’t have this in my life anymore.

Gwen is a threat to me and my family. That’s the kind of man you want to be, the kind that disowns his daughter because she didn’t live up to his standards. You couldn’t understand why. I think I understand quite. . That’s how Victor treated me. Everything was conditional. Tow the line or you’re out. Oh, IRA was just a little responsibility.

Oh, that’s a bunch of crap. And you know it. This was never just about Gwen. The truth is Gwen was not and was never going to be. Abigail, please. This olden girl do not bring Abigail into this. She’s always been in this, hasn’t she? I mean, Gwen’s always lived in her shadow. Sure. She tried to better herself to fix the things that were broken in her childhood.

She tried to change herself to make you happy, to make you proud. Did she? Yes. She twisted herself into for you because she needed your love jack. But instead, what did she. Your judgment. You tried to make a turn on me and when she didn’t, you turned on her. She made her choice and I made mine the hell with that.

Gwen got tired of trying to prove herself to you, Matt. She couldn’t have a father that loves her unconditionally. Why have a father at all? You talk a lot about the kind of man I am. What kind of man are you? I think I’m fine with us not being mace anymore. I don’t want to be friends with someone like you.

Johnny and I have started dating, or at least we’re trying to, meaning what? Nothing. I thought you could said we’d be honest with each. Meaning we were supposed to go to the movies tonight. We Joey called. So you skipped on your date for me. There’ll be other dates. Having a nice time with you. No. No. Uhuh.

No. I’m not being someone else’s. Pity date. Pity date. Yeah. Is that a thing? No. Call him What? Call Johnny right now. He remember this whole time to catch the.

Wow. Forgot how fun it is. Arguing with you when you’re drunk. Why are you trying to change the subject? What are you afraid of? The truth. The truth. The truth is you’re making a big deal outta me. Being here with Chanel when really it’s nothing. Oh, it’s nothing. Yes. Look, I was supposed to go out with Wendy tonight.

She had to go help a friend. Oh, same thing with me and Allie. Two friends being there for each other. Oh, hold on, hold on. So Wendy cancels on you and, and what? You just call up Chanel as you’re Fillin date. It’s not a date. No, no, it is. And I, I can see you guys are getting two drinks and you’re reminiscing about when you were married and you’re like, oh, remember our really romantic Italian.

So stop. Stop. At Horton. This isn’t about me and Johnny. It always, always about you and Johnny. No, you’re just using this as an excuse so that you can be with Alex. I don’t need an excuse. We have fun together. Is there a problem with that valley? Why don’t you just come home with me and then you can sober up and we can talk about this later.

We can set things straight. straight. That’s an interesting choice of words. Important. Maybe I don’t want a sober duck. I’m having too much fun. I can see that. No, you don’t get to judge me. You walked out and honestly, you’re really killing my buzz right now. I’m so sorry about that. Yeah, so unless you two buzz killers, wanna join us for a shot?

Hard pass. Come on. Can we get a drink somewhere else? Sure.

You warned me about Xander, in fairness. Of course everyone did. No, I’m actually sorry that he hurt you like that. Look, I never thought he was wordy of a woman of your caliber, although I’m not really one to judge now, am I ? No. ? I suppose not. I was a really terrible partner to you. On the other hand, you never kidnapped anyone as long as far as I know.

No . No. It’s just the cheating. Ah, yes. It’s just. But I did forgive you. You did. It meant the world to me, even though I didn’t deserve it. Holding grudges can just ruin your life. So does that mean. There’s a chance you might forgive Xander as well.

Oh good. Yeah, just carry on texting somebody else. Not like I’m having an existential crisis over here. Didn’t you just tell me that Xander stood up for you when he ran into Sarah? He did. Once she found out you guys had slept together and she was really letting you have it. It’s a critical bitch. I’ll tell you.

He really shut her down though. See? Yeah, but Matty, who we kidding? I mean, that’s all fleeting. What is Zander choosing me in the moment? It’s all part of the dance. He’s willing to take me into bed, but he’ll never fully be willing to take me in his heart. First of all, that is very poetic. But you don’t know that.

Oh, I do know that. His heart still belongs with Sarah Horton. You don’t know unless you tried. Yes, I have tried for years and look where it’s landed me. It’s better to have loved and lost something. Something Shakespeare said that actually Tenson said that, but I appreciate your reference. Really? Huh? And I was a theater queen in high school.

I guess I was too distracted trying to turn all the boys who didn’t know they were gay. Come here, it’s gonna be okay.

Who suck? I don’t know. Who could it be? Who could it be?

Is the question, can I forgive Xander, or is it, can I forgive him enough to be with him again? I guess both. I mean, , we signed divorce papers. Does that answer it? So it’s officially over. The papers are filed with the courts. So as far as I’m concerned, I’m no longer married. Shit, I’m surprised Zana gave up so easily.

Oh yes. Not only did he give up easily, he went straight back to sleeping with Gwen Resk.

Just had the misfortune of bumpy into your father while he was a stride’s high horse. Oh, he ran into Jack Told him what I thought of the ultimatum he gave you didn’t need to do that. Yes, I did. Man. There’s nothing, a loyalty the way sits in judgment of me, but more, I just can’t stand the way he treats you his own daughter.

Yeah. Well, less him down, haven’t I? Again and again. Screw that. I mean, you’ve done your best and well. He disowns you because you stood up for someone you care. He took away your, your job, your family, your home. You’ve lost everything. Well, maybe not everything. Just wish there was something I could do about it.

There is something you can do. Excuse me. Neither of you has to take this lying down, although if you did wanna lie down together, that is totally cool with. In fact, just thinking about it is getting me unbothered. Anyway, I know exactly how you can put Jack DeVere in his place.

Sorry you’re going through this. Me too. I really want things to be okay with me and Allie, but your sister is so stuff irrational, frustrating. Keep going. She gets it from her mom. I’ve heard stories about Sammy Barbie. I love her. I love her to death, but sometimes she’s just hard to have a relationship with.

You know who? Your mom or your sister? Well, neither of ’em ever wants to admit when they’re wrong, but what Ali’s doing right now, pushing you away? It’s the biggest mistake she’s ever made. Come on.

Why aren’t you chasing after Chanel? I’m good. Are you sure? I promise you I’ll not be offended. Hey, like I said to her, I’ve got nothing enough to say.

Johnny loves movie. He’s probably already sitting in a theater with his giant popcorn. You think he went by himself? You said he was going to, he was super excited to see this worm movie. You only playing one night. Apparently. Text him. He probably already has this fun on airplane though. Stop making excuses and just text the guy.

Okay, can we, uh, not talk about my sister anymore? Gladly. Let’s get that drink.

Hey. Hi. How’s it going guys? I didn’t know this was where you were going to the. Yeah, well, I, I changed my plans after you bow out, so I can see that. Would you mind if we talked for a minute? Sure. Of course.

Hey, uh, everything okay? You tell me. I don’t understand. We were supposed to be on a date and you said you couldn’t. What is it? The minute I get pulled away to help a friend? You call Chanel as a backup. You too. Me? Me too. What? That’s just your, uh, thought. You’re not the first person to accuse me of this tonight.

Let me guess your sister. Yeah. Yeah. We ran into her and Alex at another. We’re both pretty drunk and pretty cozy. Look, I’m just trying to be a good friend. Is Chanel the same way you are for Tripp, but is it really the same? What’s that mean? Trip and I weren’t married. Okay. Fair. All right. I I Okay that.

Yeah. It probably looks sketchy. Okay. But I, I, look, I just, I saw Chanel, I invited her to the movie only. She doesn’t like thrillers. We decided to get a drink instead. And, and Wendy, I wanted to go with you, but clearly Trip needed you more. No, I’m actually okay. I mean, if you guys want to rest the movie, Chanel and I can hang out.

See, fuck. Everything’s working out. Actually, I don’t think it is. What do you mean? I mean, yeah, we, we might miss the trailers, but that’s fine. I’m not talking about the movie. I’m talking about us seeing each other. What do you mean? Do I have to say it? There’s still something going on between you and your ex.

Okay. I told you. We are just friends. This is not the way it looks to me. It looks complicated and messy and full of drama. I don’t need, Wendy, you and I both agreed we, we have an opportunity here to build something really special. Can’t say. I’m feeling that right now.

I like you, Johnny. I don’t think we have a chance to build anything as long as whatever’s between you and Chanel is lingering. That’s it. You just wanna break it off. I don’t wanna hurt you. But even more than that, I don’t wanna get hurt. So I’ll see you around, okay.

What the hell are you doing here with me? Tequila shooter. Do you know what I mean? Why aren’t you chasing after Chanel? Why aren’t you chasing after Stephanie? Because she doesn’t want to be with me because I screwed up royally. But you and Chanel have so much love for each other. Elliot, I think you’re gonna have to swallow your pride on this one.

Why would I swallow my pride? Because she already made the offer some offer. The only thing I feel like squalling more of is these tequila shots. So you gonna leave me hanging or what?

Okay. Okay. So how do we get back at somebody like Jack Deveau when he is acting all holier than them? No guesses anyone. Okay. Just tell us. You throw his own sins back in his face. More sins. Oh, correct me if I’m wrong, Gwenny, but it wasn’t too long ago that Jack’s beloved wife Jennifer ran you down with her car and left you in the street to die.

We dunno that for sure. Do we actually, we do. You got confirmation that Jennifer was driving the car? I did. After which you took the high road, protected her for your father’s sake. Well, I’m here to say it is not too late to reverse course and make that sanctimonious bastard pay.

I am so sorry for jumping all this on you. What? No, no, no, no. Don’t be. Yeah. I’m sitting here talking about Xander and you’ve lost your mother. I won’t say anything about Philip. You have my word. Thank you. Really. Look, we’ve, we’ve been through a lot, but I’d like to think that we’re still friends. We are must have really hurt to see Xander with that woman, given all that she did to hurt.

Yeah. Honestly, I haven’t had time to process it, you know? Um, I ran into him and Gwen and they made it very clear that they were sleeping together and then I had to go back to work. So Nice. You have always been like that. I mean, no matter what was going on in your life, and you could just always be there for your patie.

It helps having a distraction. No, no, no. It does. It does. But I don’t need to tell you that, that keeping that anger and that that pain inside, it’s not good for you. It’s not healthy. You gotta let it out. You know what I mean? And

I think I have a pretty damn good idea to help you do that.

I’m sorry if I messed things up with you and Johnny. Uh, but honestly it’s Joey’s fault for trying to play matchmaker. Oh, this is nothing to do with Joey or you, Bonnie and I are just wrong place, wrong time. He seems a little fused. Yeah, that’s a good word for it. I’m sorry. Don’t feed. It is what it is. It is what it is.

Well, anyway, you showed up here because you thought I was hurting and now I get to be here for you.

So, but I totally screw up what you have going on with Wendy. Ah, nah. Just, uh, one big misunderstanding. I’ll fix it tomorrow somehow. Thank you, . No way. What. Uh, it’s nothing. It’s just this is the, uh, this is the same bottle of wine that we drank that night on the beach in Italy, on the Amul coast. Did you, uh, did you tell your mom about it?

I don’t think so. Oh, oh, no. What. . We’re doing exactly what my sister accused us of doing right now. You know, reminiscing about our romantic times in Italy. Well, I don’t care because when I drink this wine, I can just feel the breeze and Pieter. Raine. Yeah. Okay. Okay, now you’re laying in on a bit thick. Do you remember when we went to go see the sunrise or we fell asleep at four in the morning?

And woke up with our faces in the sand and those guys, they were taking out the fishing boats and singing in Italian. Yeah, it was much better than my sorry attempt at karaoke. You did your thing and I appreciate it. She wanted to make you smile. You always make me smile.

Oh, okay. Alright. All right. All right. Yeah, all we got this

home. Sweet home, sweet home. Sweet home. Sweet home. Oh, and by the way, My honey Penny is staying with his babysitter at her place because she has the five year old who loves him, and she asked me if he could sleep over. Isn’t she swell? Are you sure you’re okay? Do I look like I’m in pain right now? No. No, you don’t.

But. My gut tells me that tomorrow morning’s gonna be a much different story. Oh, well you only live once. That’s what I say. Mm. Okay. Come on.

Thank you for tonight. You’re buying drinks next time. No, I mean, thank you for being so. Oh, nice. Yeah, that’s me. All right. You think it’s cool if I crash on the couch in the office again? I promise you I will keep my underwear on my body this time. Yeah, you could crash in the office. Thank you. Are you kidding?

Crash crashing my bed.

Underwear optional.

Nice. All right. Again. All right. Now tell me how you’re feeling. I’m feeling pissed off. Okay, good, good. I can’t believe Andrew slept with a bitch. He promise he would never break the law again, and I was stupid enough to believe it. Okay. Are you feeling feel better? No, not really. Okay. I hate you. I hate you.

Zander. I hate you for making me book. Okay. Okay. Okay, okay, okay. Okay. It’s just this is a little bit more intense than I expected you. Okay. I mean, did it, did it work?

My key still works. Guessing you want it back. I do. Isn’t that all? There’s another reason I’m here. It’s about the spectator, Gwen. If you’re here to ask for your job back, you’re not here about her job,

we’re here to,

who was that?

Why shouldn’t I? You still want me right now? Of course I do. But you’re upset. Yeah. And you help me get out some of that anger. No. I need to get out the rest, but that’s not gonna happen from getting a pillow. Sarah, you said that you never got over me. Another chance.

You wanna stand around talking or do you wanna take me up to my room?

It’s been a long day and I think I’ve made it clear. I have nothing more to say to either of you. Oh, you don’t have to say anything. You can just listen. You are gonna sign over Ownership of the spectator to. And your daughter, and why the hell would I do that? Because if you don’t Daddy dearest. I’m going to send Jennifer to prison for running me over.

Dear readers, due to these spectators imminent change in owner. Your old friend, lady Whistleblower will finally be able to bring you the news you really care about. Check back in on this face soon to have your bassist appetites indulged. No gossip is too Deb botched. No one in Salem will be spared. So be ready for your daily dish of betrayal and of course to find out the latest on who.

Is sleeping. With whom?

Ah, I think I should probably go. I’m the one leaning in this time, Johnny. It’s okay. You shouldn’t, I know. We should look, uh, as. As I am with my sister right now, I, I don’t wanna do this to her. I don’t think you do either.

I, I think you’re right. I have to be loyal to Allie even if she doesn’t.

It wouldn’t be the first time he stayed in my bed and this time there’d be more room. I don’t think that’s a very good idea. Ellie. Come on. Come on. Stephanie is sleeping with Chad and Chanel is probably sleeping with my brother right now. And a few weeks ago he said that I was hot. One of the hottest women you’ve ever been with.

So are you lying?

Not even a little bit, prove.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Oh, you’re definitely in good hands. Hey, you too. And keep me updated. Okay, thanks. Thought I saw you through the window, . Hey. Yeah, no, I just was. Calling the Seattle Hospital Head Consult. Nice. Yeah, I was just on my way to dad’s, but I saw you and thought, why not have a beer with my bro first? Ah, well, great minds indeed.

Uh, you haven’t been here working all day, have you? No, no, no, no. I, I went to see my mom earlier and, uh, that does not have been pretty much hanging out with Wendy Shin.

This is a surprise. What’s going on? Well, I know it’s last minute, but the Revival Theater is playing a great movie tonight. Wanna come with me?

Thanks for coming. Yeah.

So, um, I got your text. Is everything okay? Yeah. Sorry, I didn’t, um, I didn’t mean to alarm you. Uh, and I promise you the next time I text you, it’ll be to set up a proper date. . So why did you ask me to come over? Oh, um, I just wanted to tell you in person that, uh, I ran into Alex and he knows that I spent the night with.

Missing something. Ah, thank you for bringing us by. Got your text about finding them. Yeah. You know who else found them? Chanel. And she threw a freaking fit.

Oh, and she’s here . Oh, well what is all this ? Oh, elaborate mirror romantic table set for two. Wow. Mr. Abraham Carver, you must be looking to get a lucky tonight. Oh, now you know, I use up all my luck the day you entered my life. Oh, whom? I love . Oh. But seriously, what have you been? Well, you know, you, uh, you told me that Chanel was going home to make up with Allie.

Mm-hmm. and. I said, well, I made an executive decision. Oh, well, just what did my handsome executive decide? That you should be wh and dine like the queen. You are . And since we have the place all to ourselves, . Oh yeah. Oh, okay. Oh, remember, your cooking smells amazing. I am famished.

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

Oof. Oh, hey darling. I didn’t realize you were here. I was napping. Um, you know, I am hungry. But it looks like you were planning a dinner for just the two of yous. Well, I, it’s, it’s okay. We’re, we’re happy to have you join us. It’s just that your mom told me that you and you and Ali had gotten back together.

Yeah, I was hoping that would be the case. I did what you said. I went over there and I put aside how hurt I was, and I tried to tell her how sorry I was and, and what happened? Well, I realized she had a hell of a lot more to be sorry for than I did.

When Chanel saw those, she assumed the worst. The worst, huh? Really? Well, I’ll have you know that my Rotten tomato score is very high, and if I remember correctly, you and Chanel were among those who gave me rave reviews. Yeah. Well, it’s about a tank. If you keep making little jokes about my love life. Sorry.

Hey, I’m sorry. This is so stupid. And as much as I try and tell Chanel that nothing happened and that you spent the night in the office, I I, I might as well have been speaking another language. Wait, so all this over my missing underwear. Okay. You know what? I’ll fix this. I’ll fix it. I’m gonna call Chanel right now and I’m going to explain to her how I sleep in the nude, which happens to be true.

Yeah, I already tried that didn’t work.

Thanks for the heads up. But, um, it wasn’t necessary. I was actually gonna text you, but you beat me. . You saw Alex too? Yeah, uh, at Titan when I went to go see Sonny, he told me he knew about us. He wasn’t a jerk to you though, was he? No, it wasn’t like that. Chad, I don’t know if you noticed the flowers at my dad’s place this morning.

I did. They were from Alex, huh? Okay. He, he came by. Dropped them off last night along with an apology note that he wrote me. The door was open and he saw us together, so he just left it all behind. I wasn’t gonna read the note, I just threw it away. But then I was curious, so I fished it out of the trash and it was really genuine.

He, he knew how badly he messed up. He owned up to all of his mistakes. He said he never meant to hurt me, and so I told, That I appreciated him saying all of that. Well, good. I mean, it sounds like you were able to hopefully get some closure.

It was closure, right? Yeah, it was because I told him that he and I would not be getting back together because you. Chad are the one I wanna be with.

Wendy Shin. You don’t waste any time, do you? ? Oh, you think Wendy and I? No, no, no, no, no, no. Oh, see, I, I came back to Salem for your mom’s funeral and then things have been pretty rough with my mom lately. And Wendy’s been a, a really good listener and a good friend besides, she’s already sort of seen someone.

Anyway, Johnny Damira sort of.

Something wrong. Well, I thought we said you were going to wait. What was everything that’s going on with your family and Afu was going on with mine. Ah, we did say that, didn’t we? We agreed it was a good idea, Tawny. I know we did, but I couldn’t help myself when I saw the movie Marqui. Look, this is such a classic thriller and it’s playing for one night only.

All right, look, I know I should have called and asked first, but I You were being impulsive. I get that. It’s just that we talked about waiting just yesterday, so this feels kind of sudden. No. Is that what this is about? How sudden it is? Or is this about what happened with Chanel?

So Johnny Dara is trying to play both sides of the fence. Huh? He wants Wendy and Chanel Dupree. Hey, well that’s not at all what I said. No. I said that Wendy told me that Johnny almost kissed Chanel, excuse me, vulnerable place. You know his grandmother was dying. Something that we both can relate. Sure Ming on Your Ex is a well-known remedy for stress and grief, but in my book, that forfeits his right to go after Wendy.

Oh, well, I’m sure she’ll be thrilled to know that you made the decision for her. All I’m saying is Wendy has options and yeah, Johnny’s cool, but he’s not a hot shot doctor like my brother. Look, I already told you. All right. She and Johnny are playing her step things up soon. As soon as not now. All right.

Wendy’s available and Johnny’s already given her enough reasons to doubt him, so stop making excuses no more. If you want, Wendy. I say go for it.

Is that why you’re hesitating? Cause it still bugs you that I almost kissed Chanel. It’s not like I’ve forgotten about her. Look, Wendy, we’ve talked through all this. Yeah, I know, but, but, but. What allie’s filling your head with doubts. She is, isn’t she? You know what, we’re gonna fix this right now. Chanel, will you come out here and talk to Wendy, Johnny?

No. You know what? We are going to fix this. Chanel’s gonna come out. She’s gonna tell you there’s nothing going on between us and we can move on from this. Chanel Johnny, stop. Chanel’s not here. She moved out.

Chanel, you and Ellie agreed to take a break and then you walked out. It shouldn’t matter what happened between then and when you went back to apologize. Now go back there and make things right. Make things right. How? By apologizing again, begging her to take me back groveling. Did I say you had to beg or grovel?

No. Explain to my daughter what I meant. Come on back, me up here. Well, your mother just wants you to be happy. That’s all. and, and we’ve both seen how, how happy Ali makes you. The point is, darling, sometimes you have to be humble and go the extra mile, not by groveling day gang, just by reassuring the person that you love, that they mean more to you than anyone else in the world.

Yeah, I get your point. Yeah. I’ll, I’ll go with the extra mile and I’ll just try to forget all about. Sleeping with Alex, Kiki.

I hope we can put this Alex stuff behind us. Just concentrate on us. Yeah, that sounds good to me.

Damn kids are sleeping, right? We’re alone. Actually, no, they are not sleeping. I told you I heard a voice. What?

Do you need tell us, Stephanie was coming over. What are we doing? What? What are we we’re doing nothing. It’s, you guys are both going back to bed, but nothing. It’s late, but we wanna hang out with Stephanie. You know what, I’ll, I’ll make you guys a deal. How about I read you something from your favorite book and then you have to listen to your dad in post sleepy time.

Deal great. Then why ain’t go pick out a book?

I will take the L on this one. If I had spent a few more minutes hunting from my underwear this morning instead of going commando. You and Chanel would be back at your place right now having magical makeup sex. Has anyone ever told you you have a one track mind? Well, it’s just kind of hard not to dwell on the possibilities, you know?

I mean, not everybody would be like us and not end up in bed together. We deserve like medals of honor for having that kind of restraint. Seriously, Allie, seriously, is that all we got is an angry ex-girlfriend on a couple world class hangovers. Yeah. You weren’t looking too good when I came in. Are you still nursing your.

No, the only hangover I’m nursing right now is at rejection one. You think things were bad on the Stephanie front last night? It ain’t hurt nothing yet. No. What happened? Ah, it’s better if I don’t talk about it, to be honest. If I gotta relive those feelings again, I’m, I’m gonna need something to wash it down with,

unless, of course you have any interest in washing down, bitter, angry, heartbroken feelings together. I actually have a lot of interest in doing that, although it sounds like we may be giving ourselves another hangover. True. But it’s not like anybody’s gonna have to take care of us. Stephanie’s definitely not gonna give a damn.

I’m sure they’re not gonna be seeing her while I am. Nursing said hangover. Mm-hmm. . And it doesn’t really seem like Chanel’s gonna care all that much either. Now, she wouldn’t even know considering we do not live together anymore. So then why are we still here? He’s me. Let’s go nurse that hangover. Ya

Chanel baby. Um, there could be a million reasons why that boy left his underwear behind a million. Really? Give me one. Maybe he sleeps in the buff. Yeah, that’s what Allie said, that supposedly he forgot them or misplaced them when he slept in the office. Well, you know, it makes sense to. I mean, it seems for Alex Caras that would apparently be on brand.

Absolutely. The way I see it. Those two got overserved at the bar, slept separately, and then he stumbled out of the place without his underwear. Okay. Can, can we just change the subject please? Sure, sure. So, well, you know, maybe we should eat before the food gets cold. Oh, you were obviously planning a romantic dinner for two, and now it’s for three.

Come on, baby. Oh, no, no, no, no. I am not going to ruin your evening. Oh, have fun. Hi, Chanel. Chanel. Oh, Abraham. Poor girl. I mean, she’s, she’s really going through it, huh? Oh, and how. You know what I think, I think Mars must be in retrograde. You know, I’ve heard of Mercury being in retrograde, but Mars, oh, Mars is much worse.

Relationships go on the rocks except for ours, of course. Oh. Of course , but seriously, seriously. Oh, you know, and if there were already existing problems, you know, like jealousy and misunderstandings, well then they tend to just multiply like crazy

trip. There’s no rule that says you have to step aside just because damara is in the mix. All right. You’re just as legitimate choice for Wendy as he is better if you ask me. Okay. I spent hours with her today. And if she was interested, I think I might know, maybe you need to open your eyes. I mean, this wouldn’t be the first time that you’ve been clueless about a woman’s feelings for you.

Okay. I am going to get us a round of beers and, uh, let’s talk about anything else but Wendy and me when I get back. Okay? Sure. No problem.

Ah. Why is this getting so out of control? I mean, Chanel and I didn’t even do anything, but you two have history, Johnny. Yeah, history that implies past tense. I’m trying to be here with you now in the present. Look, I know that we agreed that we’re not gonna go on any dates, but hey, it’s just a movie. Zero pressure.

Scott’s Honor.

Maybe I am being overly cautious. It shouldn’t be a problem with me in certain regards anyway. And it is just a movie like you said. So let’s a yes. Sure. Yes. Okay. Tossum, if we leave now we have time to catch a bite. Oh, hold on. I should take this. Joey. Hi. I was gonna call you about your mom. I’m so sorry.

It’s just so sad and awful. Yeah, it is. But right now it’s trip. I’m worried about, he’s kind of in a bad way about his mom. I heard Trip talked to me about how hard it’s been, right? Yeah. He said having you as a soundboard helps so much. I’m with him at the Brady Pub right now, but I’ve gotta go meet up with my dad regarding my mom’s funeral arrangements.

Would you mind, um, coming by and keeping ’em company for a while? Oh, you want me to come to the pub now? Yeah, if you don’t mind. No, no, no, no. I wouldn’t mind. Uh, I’ll be there as soon as I can. Thank you. That’s great. See you soon.

Something wrong. Um, kinda this trip’s been going through something and I’ve been sort of an ear for him so we can vent. So, so Joey just asked me if I could go to the pub and hang with him for a while with trip mean like, I can’t it. Wait, I don’t think so. I mean, it must be pretty urgent for Joey to have called me.

You know everything that’s going on with Tripp’s mom. Yeah, sure I do. She killed my grandmother. Maybe I could choose some comfort tonight too. Except our plan wasn’t for me to give you comfort, Johnny. We were going to watch a horror movie. Remember. Fine. You’re right. You’re right. And you’re being a good friend, which I respect.

So Go ahead. He’s for understanding. We’ll go to a movie another time. Sure. I’ll uh, see you later.

What happened to those beers? Dad called right before I got them and I, I think we should go be with him. Like, do you mean now? Yeah. He, it sounded like he could really use the company and maybe some help with the funeral arrangements. Oh. Um, yeah. Can you gimme a sec? I have to use the restroom. Yeah, yeah.

Okay. Okay. I’ll be right back. Don’t go anywhere. Okay. Alright.

So that the boy thought to himself why he looks just like my old bunny that was lost when I had Scarlet Fever. But he never knew that it was really his own bunny. Come back to look at the child who he had first helped him to be real. The end. Such a sweet book, huh? We love that book. Mom used to read it too.

My mommy used to read it to me too.

Celine Rabbit’s been around for a while. What did we say to Stephanie? Thank you. You’re very welcome. Now that I’ve jumped up my end of the deal, but we’re not as hard, can we stay up a little longer please? That wasn’t part of the deal, please. No. What is this puppy, dog? It’s not gonna work. Fine. All right.

Yes. Okay. Can stay up for a few extra minutes, but no more books cause it’ll take too long. What’s so fine? ? Okay. Then what do you, what do you wanna talk about? Any, uh, any ideas? No, but I have a question for Stephanie. Oh, sure. What is it?

My dad painting,

would it be okay with you guys? If we were,

we may have slept in separate rooms last. But as soon as I ran into Chad wearing the same clothes yesterday, pretty obvious that him and Stephanie didn’t hold back. Okay. But you’re assuming, and if Stephanie and Chad didn’t go to bed together last night, then you still have a chance. I love how you have my back yelling.

I really do. But uh, that’s not the whole story. It gets worse. I’m just getting started. Hey, find by me. I’ve got all. And you know what they say? Misery loves company

Chan. Oh, Johnny. Hi. Hey. I was, uh, which is at your place, which apparently isn’t your place anymore. You really moved out. Allie and I decided to take a break, and then she decided to extend it. It’s about us, isn’t it? The kiss that never was, tell me about it, but no, it’s, it’s not just, , unless you’re like my mom and you think that Alex Kiya is spending the night and losing his underwear in Allie’s place is no big deal.

What? What? Mm-hmm. . She, she turned your threesome into a twosome. Yeah. I, I don’t know. She, she denies it, but I, I, I don’t know anymore and it’s bad. Either way. You look at it. Yeah, it is. So now you’re what? Just wandering the streets? Well, I went home for a while, but then he, even my mom, they were having this romantic dinner and so I just, I told them I would give them some space, which means you have some time to kill and there’s no sense in just standing out here in the cold.

So come to the movies with me, tickets and popcorn on me. What do. Johnny, are you sure this is a good idea? I mean, for one thing, what about Wendy?

Ah, there you are. Let’s go dude. What’s the rush? You said you wanted to talk. Okay. I never said that and plus I’ve been here for like a while. I want to get moving. Okay. I wanna go be with Dad. Let’s go. Hey Brandy. Hey. What a nice surprise. Get over here. Don’t tell Trip I asked you to come.

Okay. First of all, I want you both to know that I will always love your mother, just like I know both of you. And, and I was gonna tell you about Stephanie and me, but I just wanted to wait for the right time. So here we are. What’s the, uh, what’s the expression that, uh, that I always say? No time, like the present.

That’s it. And, I just want you guys to know that it makes me very happy that you guys like Stephanie so much because I really like Stephanie too, and I just want to make sure that the more and more time I spend with her and and date her that it doesn’t confuse. Or make you feel bad? Not me. Not you either, right?

Charlotte?

I’m glad. Are you two gonna get married? Mary

Um, uh, . That’s a, that’s a, uh, Mary. No. That’s a very big step and, um, that’s probably too big of a step for, uh, for us to talk about right now. So right now we’re just gonna talk about the very, very, very small step and, um, is it okay? Is it okay? Do you guys wanna spend some more time with Stephanie?

I guess that’s a yes.

I, I just saw you, so I don’t think that reads a hug. You always read a hug, , you know, we, uh, we’re just talking about you actually. It’s a, it’s quite the coincidence that we’d run into you, right. Yeah. You know what? No one was at the apartment. I was kind of bored. So here I am. Yeah, it doesn’t really matter.

Why. Have a beer with us. Please. Trip was, uh, just telling me all about how you helped him out. Yeah. How has your mom and he changed? Uh uh No, I still haven’t spoken to anyone in Bayview. Still doesn’t make it any easier though. Right? It’s great how you were there for him, um, when he needed you. You never know when those feelings are gonna come rushing back, and I’m always around Tripp whenever you need to talk.

Ugh. So I got a little hopeful when she told me that she read my apology. But then my hope Scott is dashed very fast. What is wrong with her? Like, doesn’t she realize you didn’t mean to hurt her? Oh, Stephanie’s not the bad guy here. I’m the one who messed up. I can’t be mad at her or even Chad, but I’m mad at, you know, it is what it is.

We ended as friends hasn’t. That’s as much as I’ll ever get. What a bummer. Yeah, to put it mildly. Whoa. Now I have heard your tale of, whoa, you’ve heard mine. Yep. Aren’t we? The pair? So what’s next?

Oh,

isn’t it obvious? Keep him coming. Oh, yeah. , oh, I guess trip’s really upset, but with his mom being in the mental hospital and he needs Wendy’s shoulder to cry on or whatever, which means I’ve got this extra ticket just burning a hole in my pocket. Wendy’s loss could be your, Johnny, I, I really don’t think it’s a, a good idea.

I know you already said that, but I disagree. I I know you’re worried Allie will find out, but it’s, but what, I don’t think either of us needs that headache and it’s already just, it’s so messy. It’s not our fault. Hey, how about this? We’ll put an empty seat in between us and I will put the largest tub of popcorn they sell in that seat.

Allie never has to know. So what do you say?

Well, that was unexpected. Oh, I thought you did great. Yeah. Well, it helps that they’re, uh, they’re crazy about you. You should have seen your face when Thomas asked if we were gonna get married. . My, my fa What do you mean you look startled? Uh, I, I didn’t know what to say either. I’m just, I’m glad you took the reins.

I’m, um, I’m very flattered and relieved that I got the thumbs up from your wonderful kids. Two very enthusiastic. Right . Well, you know what that means, right? What? As many of these as

you don’t like, Oh, sorry, Abraham. Oh this. This truly is a feast for a queen and I love you for making a special meal just for the two of us, but I need to go and get Chanel and bring her back here, Paulina. . Well, it’s partially my fault that she and Allie things didn’t work out with them. I was the one who told her to go back and apologize.

Now look, everything is just spiraled outta control. You gave Chanel sound advice and didn’t work out the way we hope. But you’re not the blame for that. Well, what the fucking stand my baby heard Paulina. Paulina honey. She knows a grown woman, and she’s wise and compassionate just like her mama. So just trust her.

Trust her. To find the right fix and then you and I can concentrate on us for a change.

We’ll wear sunglasses. Brilliant. Then no one will recognize us. Yeah, you didn’t let me finish. I’ll wear my father’s trench coat. We’ll enter separately and we’ll work out a series of complex hand signals to communicate with, or we could. Text. No. A spy these days. No. Too risky. You, you do know Morse code, right?

No, but I’m a quick learner. Is that a yes? You wore me down? Yes. I will go. We can go, but I, I need one of those elaborate disguises. Oh yeah. By all. Okay, but I’m thinking like a little less Clark Kent and a little more Charlie’s Angels. Maybe a blonde wig or some red box sprays or something. Sure, sure. I dig it.

But wait, I, I forgot to ask you what movie it is. I don’t wanna look like one of those, uh, fanatic overzealous cosplay. No offense. Yeah, not taken. It’s a total classic. What movie is it? Evil Dead too. Ge. No, no. Thank you. But no. Come on, come on, come on, come on. I watched Exorcist with you last time and that was enough for me.

Okay. I had nightmares for weeks. You know what, I’m not doing that again. No. Yeah. I can’t believe it. It, it will nobody go see this movie with me. Well, I won’t, but I will buy you a drink to make up for it. Okay? Okay. Where do you wanna go? No one could believe it. Trip hadn’t even been in Seattle all that long, and you know, he already made a lifesaving diagnosis that no one else caught.

Everyone else missed. I mean, this guy is a, he’s a hero. Then there was this one time, okay, you know enough about me, uh, , Hey, did you actually know that Joe here helped save the planet? He did. Mm-hmm. just last week, he took the recycling to the curb all by him. No one even had to ask him. That’s funny. You’re funny.

Yeah. Well, I try to do what I can. It’s late. Uh, I’m gonna head back to Dad’s place and see if he needs any help with the funeral stuff. Yeah, yeah, sure. Let’s go. No, dad and I can handle it. You too. Hang out. Good to see you. He just wants I to ask Joey something real quick. Hey Joe. You calls, didn’t you? Huh?

What are you? Okay. First she just shows up, uh, right after you pushed me to ask her about and then why you talking me up? Like you’re major or something. You heard her? She said she wanted to get outta the house and I can’t brag about my brother. No, you can’t. When you’re insulting my intelligence.

Alright. Okay. Yeah. I called her when you were supposed to be getting those beers that you never actually got. Okay. Why would you do that? I was trying to do you a favor. I know you wanna hang. You welcome.

You did outdo yourself tonight, Abraham Dinner was sublime. Well, I am glad you think so. Are you still still worried about Chanel? No, I am not. Thanks to you. You’re a very wise man. Mm-hmm. , and I am. I’m so grateful to you for always giving me perspective, not just on my children, on everything, you know. I am.

Surely you would do the same for me, . Yes, I would. Yeah. We make a pretty good team, don’t we? Mm-hmm. . Yeah, we do. Well, you know what? I think it’s time for a dessert. Well, if you, you mean this kind is a.

I am definitely ready.

Okay, you guys, come on. It’s time for bed. Hey, come on. Gimme your phone, but I’m in the middle of my game. You can finish it tomorrow. Okay. Okay. One more book please. , please. What about you? You want another book? Okay, fine. But only after you guys are tucked in for the night. Okay. Um, and before, um, before we go upstairs and, uh, I tuck you in for the night, I wanted to, um, I wanted to tell you guys something.

I’m mom. I’m very grateful that you have both. So sweet and so welcoming to Stephanie. Okay? It means it means a lot to me, and I want to tell you something very, very important. Hey, look at me. I wanna tell you something very important. I love both of you more than anything. You are the most important thing in the world to me.

And there is no one, there is nothing that is more important to me than you guys. So even though I like Stephanie a a lot, and I know you guys do too,

no one will ever replace your mother, okay? Okay. Not for me and not for you. Okay,

Joey. Steph, Hey, where are you headed off to? I’m headed home to see Dad. That’s where I’m headed to. How’s trip coming? Uh, probably not for a. No, I think he’s tied up, or at least I hope he is.

Okay, so where were we? Well, you were brushing off to tell Joey something over by the door, so I wouldn’t hear you. What was that all about?

What secrets do you hold? Golden Elixir. There’s only one way to find out. True that true that.
